The Sing-Off Contestants Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some boys are trying too hard
He don't try at all through
Younger than my exes but he act like such a man, so
I see nothing better, I keep him forever
Like a vendetta-ta

In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I'll take my time

Hi, my name is
What? My name is
Who? My name is

Abra, abracadabra, abracadabra

She bangs, she bangs
Oh baby, when she moves, she moves

What do you want from me?
Why do you run from me?
What are you wondering?
What do you know?
Why aren't you scared of me?
Why do you care for me?
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?

You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love

Talk to me baby
I'm goin' blind from this sweet-sweet cravin', whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go crazy crazy
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean (uh)
Walk for me, baby
I'll be Diddy, you'll be Naomi, whoa-oh




Let's lose our minds and go crazy crazy
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hopin' we'll eat cake by the ocean (uh)

There's like fifty people on stage and Scott is already standing out.

It helps that he is wearing pink

Being an MCR fan for years and a PTX fan for quite some time, I started crying when Scott yelled "keep running!" I just miss My Chemical Romance so much. They changed my life and this cover was absolutely amazing!

Shea

i am so glad they made him say that part, i mean i love me some Scott but i think it was perfect for him and the end when he smiled! Gah! he's such a cutie. I miss MCR as well

Meat and Potatoes (Kevin and Avi) will always dominate every song they do no matter how many people are singing. \m/

Idk if it's just me, but the moment Scott starts singing, you can immediately tell PTX sounds better than the rest of them (which is fitting, since they won).

Randomkillerqueen

it's so true, and I noticed, at the end, when all the leads did coloratura (fancy singing and riffs), Scott was the best, if not the only clear sounding singer. The rest of them were wobbly sounding. XD
Well, Scott's riffs are always to die for. :P
