Here we go again, chapter two, turn another page

I’m walking in the rain, paint a smile upon my face
Cause I won’t let the spotlight see the heartbreak in my lovelife
When the laughter starts to fade, all the drama takes center stage

Strike up the band, bang a drum like the beat of my heart

You left before the end, before our story had a chance to start
When you step into the disco, leave your problems at the front door
You know, the world don’t have to end, long as the DJ records spin

This is the main event, are you ready

Just let the music dance into your soul
Faster faster, exhileratin’
Just let the rhythm make you lose control

Until they say last call, or somebody says your name

I’m gonna keep on dancing, I gotta dance away the pain

I won’t let love bring me down, you won’t see me cryin on the dance floor
No, I won’t let love bring me down, you won’t see me cry,
you won’t see me cry,
never see me cry, never see me cry...
 Jealous Of My Boogie
R. Charles / L. Piane

Hey dj, love the way

I lose my inhibitions when you spin
And i don’t care if people stare
I’d rather boogie than try to fit in

Turn it up let’em scrutinize (I know you’re watching)

Way up cause the night is mine (i know you’re watching)
Turn it up lemme scandalize (I know you’re watching)
Yeah, up under flashing lights

No, don’t be jealous of my boogie, don’t be jealous of my boogie

You can say that you are not, but I always see you looking

Can’t stop now, won’t slow down

I gotta emulate the BPM
I hit the scene and they turn green
It can’t be easy, i don’t envy them

Don’t be, don’t be so jealous of my boogie

 Cover Girl
R. Charles / L. Piane

Stroll down the runway, Another payday

Cover of magazines
And when they see me, They wanna be me
I am the fantasy

Covergirl! Put the bass in your walk!

Head to toe! Let your whole body talk!

To Graumann’s Chinese, Red carpet TV

Valet my limousine
Box office sweetie, An Oscar nominee
Now watch me snatch trophies

Walk... Now, walk...(and what?)

Pump and bump it
Pump it and bump, bump it
 Tranny Chaser
R. Charles / L. Piane

Is some tranny chasers up in here?

Welcome to my stratosphere (fierce fierce)
Make a move, what you wanna do?
I ain’t got no time for no looky loo, boo

Is some tranny chasers up in here?

Lemme make one thing clear (fierce fierce)
Make a move, what you wanna do?
I ain’t got no time for no looky loo, boo

Hey (work) give a dog a bone. Looky-loo, looky look at you who
Hey (work) give a dog a bone. Look at you, lookin’ at Ru Ru

I see the way you want it, and you want it bad
You can’t regret the candy that you never had
So take a bite baby, better do it fast
Hurry up cause you won’t get another chance

Just because you want me... that don’t make you gay
Every time you watch me... that don’t make you gay
Do you wanna be me... that don’t make you gay
Or do you wanna f@#& me... that don’t make you gay
 So the hunter got captured by the game
It ain’t the first time a player got played
Won’t be the last time you hear a t-girl say
You want it wet then you betta make it rain

Alright Patti LaBelle, here’s something else for you.

What do you want?
What’s the tee, girl? Tell me what’s the tee?

Looky-loo, looky look at you who

Looky-loo, looky look at woo who
Looky-loo, what you gonna do
Looky-loo, Whoopee gotta boo boo
Oh no she didn’t

May the fierce be with you

 LadyBoy
R. Charles / L. Piane

Nobody rocks like the girls i’m running with

Sitting on a secret and everybody’s in on it
Some girls talk to the boys in the chat room
My girls talk to the boys in the back room

Hit me up, i’m that chick you know

That my world won’t stop if you clock me
You got me oh oh oh oh
You got me going oh oh oh oh (t-girl lover)

This groove is for my girls, little lady boys and girls

This groove is for my lady boy la-lady boys and girls
This groove is for my girls, little lady boys and girls
Little lady lady boy lady lady boy girls

One more shot I gotta ‘nother boogie in me

Gotta move my feet cause the beat don’t intimidate me
If you wanna dance i’m the girl with something extra
If you wanna dance you betta put it on me mister

Ladyboys be shaking like they haven’t got room

The t-girls make their ass go bumpity boom
Shake to the left and then they bump it to the front
Baby’s on the ceiling cause this party’s so crunk
 Champion
R. Charles / L. Piane

One dream, the will to fight

And all they could do was laugh
This time you got it right
And no one can take it back

They try to keep you down, but there’s no denying

You’re a champion, greatest of them all

You’re a champion, never gonna fall
You’re a champion still standing tall
You’re a champion and you’ll always be a hero oh oh oh...

Nobody wins by playin’ small

Remember who you really are
Fearless and beautiful
The child of a shining star

And when your story’s told and the truth unfolds

They will sing your praises loud
Cause your story’s gold, if the truth be told
With all the children singing...
 Never Go Home Again
R. Charles / L. Piane

Dear Johnny, had had enough

Couldn’t pretend anymore
This household, no fairytale
No storybook, left at the door

Couldn’t put up a fight. Didn’t need to be right

Didn’t want this to be his/her story
Made a run for his/her life
Slipped away in the night
Headed straight for his/her crowning glory

I’ll never go home again. Home is where you are

I’ll never go home again. Always in your heart

Dear Frankie, so beautiful

No need for paint on her face
Her father, unbearable
Under his roof, ain’t no way!

Babies take flight, never say never

There’s a home for you here
Where love is unconditional

Go to the light, never say never

Make the family you want
With the ones who really love you
 Destiny Is Mine
R. Charles / L. Piane

Leader of the pack, fire burning fast

Faster than the speed of light, sound & vision
Driver of the year, conquer every fear
Let it go, let it go, let it go

Destiny is mine, cross the finish line

Rules never apply to a soul in motion
Never turning back, wave the checkered flag
Let it go, let it go, let it go

Destiny is mine ...to a soul in motion

Rules never apply to a soul
 Let’s Turn The Night
R. Charles / L. Piane

I don’t wanna say, it’s much too obvious

Tell it on the mountain, and turn around
I didn’t wanna do this, but you won’t give it up
Revel in your haste to put us down but...

When the lights go out, we are the sun

And that’s because we know the power of love
We are all one

Turn out the lights, wake up your soul

Let’s turn the night into tomorrow
Wherever we are, ever we go
We are the light, you’re never alone

Justify your judgement, who’s right who’s wrong

Try me by a jury of my peers
We’ll be at the disco dancin’ to our song
Deep inside the bass we have no fear cause...

And tomorrow belongs to those who believe

It belongs to you and me, shine a light
Let ’em see, let ’em see
 Devil Made Me Do It
R. Charles / L. Piane

Music, turn it up a little louder

Feel black magic from the waist down
Can’t be wrong, this kind of sin feels so right to me

‘S alright, touch my body it’s on fire

Hot as hell or is it heaven
All night long, we’re gonna burn for eternity

{They say} why’d you do it

Devil made me do it (burning up)
Why’d you do it
Devil made me do this dance

Stop now, hold this moment in a window

You and i, we never follow
We take lead from our desire to be free

Pray unto the holy ghost to save your soul

Pray, can you save my soul
Somebody save my soul
Somebody please come, please come save me
Theme from “Drag Race”
R. Charles / L. Piane

Show me what you got

Are you a winner
Can you make it hot
Don’t be a loser

Take it to the top

Make it pop, punk rock
Put the pedal to the medal
Hip-hop, non-stop

RuPaul drag race

(Gentleman) start your engines
RuPaul drag race
May the best woman win
 Throw Ya Hands Up w/Lady Bunny
R. Charles / J. Ingle / E. Miah

Bunny- “Now Ru, it’s been along time since we’ve been together”
Ru- “That’s right, Bunny, let’s get out there and let these children have it”

Throw ya hands up, it’s time to get down

(Come on, you)
Gotta work it out, gotta work, gotta work it out
Everybody get wild

Yo’ man done did you wrong, so honey leave that mess at home
Call yo’ girlfriends up on the phone (hello?)
Time to dash, grab ya stash, get yo’ party on

Time-time’s a wastin’, no more hesitatin’

You need a change of pace and we’re here to motivate cha’
For your information, here’s the situation
Never give up, never give up
The groove is your salvation

Every eye’s on you, causing a scandal with those moves

You’re givin’ em legendary attitude,
Bottles poppin, cameras watchin’, now pose for YouTube

We got the rhythm to make you move, now let us see what you can do
I’m talking to you, I’m talking to you, and you too
Now get in the groove, yeah yeah
