Spice Girls - Song Lyrics

ABOUT

FORMED: 1993

"Girl Power" became a rage in the late 90's largely due to the fab five from London, no not the Beatles, and not even their equivalent, but from the Spice Girls. Hitting the scene in 1997 after responding to an ad in a British publication, the five smashed the charts with their first hit "Wannabe" which reigned at No.1 in the UK charts for seven weeks.
Sporty, Ginger, Posh, Scary and Baby rounded out the first mix of Spice Girls. And spicy they were. Known for their wardrobes ranging from a miniscule Union Jack skirt to Nike track pants, their debut album Spice put a catchy tune in the heads of those who would rather not remember. Maybe it's just the British but some of the lyrics..."If you want to be my lover / you gotta get with my friend"??? What's that all about?

The British media found lots of tabloid material in the Spices. Ginger's nude picture from her days as a model surfaced, Posh's quick temper and old boyfriends came back onto the scene and rumours of Sporty's sexual orientation were questioned. Not that rumours good or bad are ever bad publicity. But all of things they have been accused of, being compared to the girly version of New Kids on the Block cannot be good for one's image.

In early 1998, Ginger announced that she was leaving the group in order to pursue a solo career.

Since that time we have heard the release of her Schizophonic which has proved that her solo choice may not have been a bad choice. The remaining four spices released their first single in "Viva Forever" which hit No.1 in the U.K. At the MTV Europe Music Awards, they accepted four awards for Best Group and Best New Pop Album for their ginger-less efforts. Maybe the split was best for everyone.

The band has also garnered other awards. Their acting in the movie Spiceworld gave them the accolades for seven Razzie awards ( given to bad acting around the time of the Oscars). Though were not sure that singing is their thing acting definetely is not. The four are expected to release another album in the near future. It's sure to bring lots of press regardless of the quality and actual substance.

2 become 1 (English Version)

[Melanie C]:
Candle light and soul forever,
A dream of you and me together,
Say you believe it, say you believe it

[Mel B]:
Free your mind of doubt and danger,
Be for real, don't be a stranger
We can achieve it, we can achieve it

[Emma + Mel B]:
Come a little bit closer, baby, get it on, get it on
'Cause tonight is the night when two become one

ALL:
I need some love like I never needed love before
(wanna make love to ya, baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(wanna make love to ya, baby)
Set your spirit free, it's the only way to be

[Melanie C]:
Silly games that you were playing,
Empty words we both were saying,
Let's work it out, boy, let's work it out, boy

[Victoria]:
Any deal that we endeavour,
Boys and girls go good together,
Take it or leave it, take it or leave it

[Emma + Mel B]:
Are you as good as I remember, baby, get it on, get it on
'Cause tonight is the night when two become one

ALL:
I need some love like I never needed love before
(wanna make love to ya, baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(wanna make love to ya, baby)

INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
(Oh whoa, oh whoa)

[Emma + Mel B]:
Be a little bit wiser, baby, put it on, put it on
'Cause tonight is the night when two become one

I need some love like I never needed love before
(wanna make love to ya, baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(wanna make love to ya, baby)
I need some love like I never needed love before
(wanna make love to ya, baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(wanna make love to ya, baby)
Set your spirit free, it's the only way to be

It's the only way to be
It's the only way to be

2 Become 1 (spanish version)

Juntos T? y Yo en mi sue?o
Luz de vela, sol eterno
Di que es posible

Ya no dudes m?s conmigo
No hay peligro, no hay motivo

Ven un poco m?s cerca de M?
Un poco m?s, un poco m?s (harmony)

Seremos uno los dos

Esta noche necesito mucho m?s de ti
(wanna make love to ya baby)
Aquello no bast?, ahora estoy aqu?
(wanna make love to ya baby)

D?jate llevar
Solo as? podr?s llegar

Juegos tontos y palabras
T? me hablabas, Yo te hablaba
Donde T? vas voy
Por donde T? vas voy

No importa aquel asunto
Ellos, ellas siempre juntos
Todo o nada

Si eres bueno como siempre fuiste
Un poco m?s, un poco m?s (harmony)
Lo veras, como hoy
Seremos uno los dos

Esta noche necesito mucho m?s de ti
(wanna make love to ya baby)
Aquello no bast?, ahora estoy aqu?

Seremos uno los dos

Esta noche necesito mucho m?s de ti
(wanna make love to ya baby)
Aquello no bast?, ahora estoy aqu?
(wanna make love to ya baby)

Esta noche necesito mucho m?s de ti
(wanna make love to ya baby)
Aquello no bast?, ahora estoy aqu?
(wanna make love to ya baby)

Dejate llevar
Solo as? podr?s llegar (harmony)
Solo as? podr?s llegar (harmony)
Solo as? podr?s llegar (harmony)

Mama

She used to be my only enemy and never let me be free,
Catching me in places that I knew I shouldn't be,
Every other day I crossed the line,
I didn't mean to be so bad,
I never thought you would
become the friend I never had.

Back then I didn't know why,
why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
all that you did was love,

Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend,
You're my friend

I didn't want to hear it then but
I'm not ashamed to say it now,
Every little thing you said and did was right for me,
I had a lot of time to think about,
about the way I used to be,
Never had a sense of my responsibility.

Back then I didn't know why,
why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
all that you did was love,

Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend,
You're my friend ,You're my friend

But now I'm sure I know why,
why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
all I can give you is love,

Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend,
[Repeat X2]
You're my friend
Your're my friend

im loving you,you loving me
our love thats true AND GUARANTEED
[ repeat 6x until fade ]

Stop

[Ginger]
You just walk in, I make you smile
It's cool but you don't even know me

[Sporty]
You take an inch, I run a mile
Can't win you're always right behind me

[Baby]
And we know that you could go and find some other
Take or leave it or just don't even bother

[Posh]
Caught in a craze, it's just a faze
Or will this be around forever

[Altogether]
Don't you know it's going too fast
Racing so hard you know it won't last

[Scary]
Don't you know, why can't you see
[Sporty]
Slow it down, read the sign, so you know just where you are going

[Chorus]
Stop right Now Thank you very much
I need somebody with the human touch
Hey you always on the run
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun

Do Do Do Do (x2) Do Do Do - always be together

Ba da Ba Ba (x3) - stay that way forever

[Baby]
And we know that you could go and find some other
Take or leave it cause we've always got each other

[Sporty]
You know who you are and yes, you're gonna breakdown
You're crossed the line so you're gonna have to turn around

[Altogether]
Don't you know it's going too fast
Racing so hard you know it won't last

[Scary]
Don't you know, why can't you see

[Sporty]
Slow it down, read the sign, so you know just where you are going

[Chorus]
Gotta keep it down honey lay your back on the line
Cause I don't care about the money, don't be wasting my time
You need less speed, get off my case
You gotta slow it down baby, just get out of my face

Chorus (x3)

[3rd Chorus- Sporty]

Stop right Now, we wanna thank you, we wanna thank you
Stop right Now, thank you very much, thank you very much

Too Much

Love is blind, as far as the eye can see,
Deep and meaningless, words to me,
easy lover, I need a friend,
Road to nowhere, twist and turns but will this never end

Well my dear you'll know that he pleases me (Pleases me),
But short time solution made no resolution,
That ain't no release for me,

Too Much of Something is bad enough,
But something's coming over me to make me wonder,
Too Much of nothing is just as tough,
I need to know the way to feel to keep me satisfied

Unwrap yourself, from around my finger
Hold me too tight or left to linger,
Something fine built to last,
Slipped up there I guess we're running out of time too fast,

Yes my dear you know he soothes me (Moves me),
There's no complication there's no explanation,
It's just a groove in me

Too Much of something is bad enough (Bad enough),
But something's coming over me to make me wonder,
Too much of nothing is just as tough (just as tough),
I need to know the way to feel to keep me satisfied

What part of no don't you understand (Understand understand),
I want a man not a boy who thinks he can,

Boy who thinks he can,

Too Much of Something is bad enough,
But something's coming over me to make me wonder,
Too Much of nothing is just as tough,
I need to know the way to feel to keep me satisfied

Too much of something is bad enough,
But something's coming over me to make me wonder,
Too much of nothing is just as tough,
I need to know the way to feel to keep me satisfied

Too much of something is bad enough (Bad enough),
But something's coming over me to make me wonder,
Too much of nothing is just as tough (just as tough),
I need to know the way to feel to keep me satisfied

Too much of nothing so why don't we give it a try,
Too much of something we're gonna be living a lie

Viva Forever

Do you still remember, how we used to be
Feeling together, believe in whatever
My love has said to me
Both of us were dreamers
Young love in the sun
Felt like my Saviour, my spirit I gave you
We'd only just begun

Hasta Ma?ana, Always be mine

Viva forever, I'll be waiting
Everlasting, like the sun
Live Forever, for the moment
Ever searching for the one

Yes I still remember, every whispered word
The touch of your skin, giving life from within
Like a love song that I'd heard
Slipping through our fingers, like the sands of time
Promises made, every memory saved
Has reflections in my mind

Hasta Ma?ana, Always be mine

Viva forever, I'll be waiting
Everlasting, like the sun
Live Forever, for the moment
Ever searching for the one

Back where i belong now, was it just a dream
Feelings unfold, they will never be sold
And the secret's safe with me

Hasta Ma?ana, Always be mine

(Repeats 3x)
Viva forever,(Viva forever) I'll be waiting(I'll be waiting)
Everlasting,(Everlasting) like the sun (Like the sun)
Live Forever, (Live forever) for the moment (For the moment)
Ever searching, (Ever searching) for the one (For the one)

(Quieter)
Viva forever, I'll be waiting
Everlasting, Like the sun
Live Forever, for the moment
Ever searching, for the one.
