Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm

I gotta turn this car around
I never should have left you there
Boy, this traffic is making me sick
Boy, I can't wait to have you near

I gotta hurry, hurry, hurry
Now quick, quick, quick
Just step on the gas 'cause I don't wanna miss this
This opportunity will only come once in my life, my life

I gotta hurry, hurry, hurry
Now quick, quick, quick
Just step on the gas 'cause I don't wanna miss this
See what you're bringing me boy is priceless
I gotta be out of my mind not to try this

Through strength, I found love
In time I find myself in happiness with you
Through strength, I found love
In time I find myself in happiness with you

Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm

Boy, I need to say what's in my heart
I was scared but I'll do my part
I came at to tell you face to face
So what we have won't go to waste

I gotta hurry, hurry, hurry
Now quick, quick, quick
Just step on the gas 'cause I don't wanna miss this
This opportunity will only come once in my life, my life, yeah

Sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm coming down to fix this
You should know how I feel I know I got you twisted
See what you're bringing me boy is priceless
I gotta be out of my mind not to try this

Through strength, I found love
In time I find myself in happiness with you
Through strength, I found love
In time I find myself in happiness with you

The things that you can give to me
I can feel it when your holding me close
It's like your one of the world wonders
I know I'm going under
Come see that I'm ready for this
And you're so good for me
You're my true joy
You make me wanna say

Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm

Through strength, I found love
In time I find myself in happiness with you




Through strength, I found love
In time I find myself in happiness with you

Essa música é uma lenda pra mim, me relembra uma época maravilhosa que passei na the week SP com pessoas maravilhosas que hoje qse nem tenho mais contato … 2009/10/11

@SonicEther

People seem to fail at seeing that most of the people that will hear this have probably not heard of Deadmau5 because of Alexis' style... I'm sure that a majority of them probably think "wow that beat sounds so cool!" Deadmau5 is reaching more people through this track. I, being a fan of EDM, am thrilled that it's bleeding into the mainstream; that means more people get to enjoy it!

@blakebedford-palmer6676

And now it’s trending again in 2022 because of TikTok

@parasoldat66

Imagine thinking your favorite artist going mainstream is a good thing

@georgelopez9872

@St1nkySausage it is. gate keeping ain’t cool brah

@parasoldat66

@George Lopez When producers go mainstream they usually stop making what they love and start making want the masses want.
