Roxcyn's Lyric Transcription / Editing Assistance

I'm not much help, I'm afraid. The vague suggestions and lines I'm unsure of are in bold. :p Hopefully Nicolas or someone else will do a better job, or I'll listen again at a later date and improve on this.

Do anything you want
But never find the heart to leave me
'Cause I need you too much
So play your game, but don't desert me
Maybe you heard I'm tough
To love but, baby, please believe me

Don't be afraid to trust me (Trust me)
I wouldn't trade you for the world
And if you feel you gotta test me
Before you be my girl

Then you can shake me
You can break me
But you can't make me
(Give up love - ?)
'Cause that's the only thing I won't
Do for you

Sometimes I say too much (Say too much)
I am right now, so please forgive me
When I can't help but touch (Help but touch)
The place I keep inside you in me*
I threw away my crutch (Away my crutch)
I'm man enough for you, can't you see me?*

Don't be afraid to try me (Try me)
Come on and give a guy a whirl
And if you feel you gotta test me
Before you be my girl

Then you can shake me
You can break me
But you can't make me
(Give up love - ?)
'Cause that's the only thing I won't
Do for you

Well I was making love inside my mind
Somehow you take me to the other side
I wanna be so deep inside your world
So don't run away, girl

[Guitar solo]

You can shake me
You can break me
But you can't make me
(Give up love - ?)
'Cause that's the only thing I won't
Do for you

Shake me
You can break me (Oh, yeah)
But you can't make me
(Give up love - ?)
I'm gonna, I'm gonna
I'm gonna make you mine

You can shake me
(You take me to the edge
Something related to falling from the edge?)
You can break me
(If it will make you mine
Something about letting go blind?)
But you can't make me
(I'd sail a thousand ships
To finally kiss your lips)
'Cause that's the only thing I won't
Do for you

You can shake me
(You take me to the edge
Something related to falling from the edge?)
You can break me
(If it will make you mine
Something about letting go blind?)
But you can't make me
(I'd sail a thousand ships
To finally kiss your lips...)

*The lines currently on the site. They don't sound right to me, but I'm not sure what else they could be. The first might be, "The place so deep inside you in me", but neither makes much sense.

Thanks, Joeyy. You're a doll. As you saw with "Young Love" , Gregg Alexander and Danielle Brisebois' lyrics don't make all that much sense sometimes. I have the lyric booklet somewhere around my house. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the ending because I always wanted to know what he was saying and couldn't quite catch it.

MCSMeister - you're up. Thank you.

I found a better quality version of the song here. Using Joeyy's transcription as a basis, this is what I hear.

Ow!

Do anything you want
But never find the heart to leave me
'Cause I need you too much
So play your game, but don't desert me
Maybe you heard I'm tough, ha ha ha
To love but, baby, please believe me

Don't be afraid to trust me (Trust me)
I wouldn't trade you for the world
And if you feel you gotta test me
Before you be my girl

Then you can shake me
You can break me
But you can't make me
(Give my love)
'Cause that's the only thing I won't
Do for you

Sometimes I say too much (Say too much)
I am right now, so please forgive me
When I can't help but touch (Help but touch)
The place I keep inside you in me

I threw away my crutch (Away my crutch)
I'm man enough for you, can't you see me?

Don't be afraid to try me (Try me)
Come on and give a guy a whirl
And if you feel you gotta test me
Before you be my girl

Then you can shake me
You can break me
But you can't make me
(Give my love)
'Cause that's the only thing I won't
Do for you

Well, I was making love inside my mind
Somehow you take me to the other side
I wanna get so deep inside your world
So don't run away, girl

You can shake me
You can break me
But you can't make me
(Give my love)
'Cause that's the only thing I won't
Do for you

Shake me
You can break me (Oh, yeah)
But you can't make me
(Give my love)
I'm gonna, I'm gonna
I'm gonna make you mine

You can shake me
(You take me to the edge
And knocked up off the ledge)
You can break me
(If it will make you mine
I listen, they go blind)
But you can't make me
(I'd sail a thousand ships
To finally kiss your lips)
'Cause that's the only thing I won't
Do for you

You can shake me
(You take me to the edge
And knocked up off the ledge)
You can break me
(If it will make you mine
I listen, they go blind)
But you can't make me
(I'd sail a thousand ships
To finally kiss your lips)


The lines Joeyy put an asterisk by don't sound that far off. I think the "I'm man enough for you..." line is correct, he just says the first half of the line fast. Again, not too sure about the parenthesed lines at the end, but I tried my best. Hope this helps

Actually, looking at this again, I think the line "The place I keep inside you in me" is actually "The place so deep inside you and me". That makes a lot more sense.

Here's what I heard. Some of the differences I put in bold type with an asterisk (* ) :

Ow!

Na na na ow!*
Na na na ow!*

Do anything you want
But never find the heart to leave me
'Cause I need you too much
So play your game, but don't desert me
Maybe you heard I'm tough, ha ha ha
To love but, baby, please believe me

Don't be afraid to trust me (trust me)
I wouldn't trade you for the world
And if you feel you gotta test me
Before you'll* be my girl

Then you can shake me
And* you can break me
But you can't make me (kill* my love)
'Cause that's the only thing I won't
Do for you

Sometimes I say too much (say too much)
I am right now, so please forgive me
When I can't help but touch (help but touch)
The place so deep* inside you in me

I threw away my crutch (way my crutch)
I'm not a boy, you dare to see me*

Don't be afraid to try me (try me)
Come on and give a guy a whirl
And if you feel you gotta test me
Before you'll* be my girl

Then you can shake me
And* you can break me
But you can't make me (kill* my love)
'Cause that's the only thing I won't

Well, I was making love inside my mind
Somehow you take me to the other side
I wanna get somewhere* inside your world
So don't run away, girl


Ow, then* you can shake me
And* you can break me, oh yeah!*
But you can't make me (kill* my love)
'Cause that's the only thing I won't
Do for you

Shake me, ow!*
And* you can break me (oh, yeah)
But you can't make me (kill* my love)
I'm gonna, I'm gonna
I'm gonna make you mine

*Then you can shake me
(You take me to the edge
And knocked me* off the ledge)
You can break me
(If it will make you mine
I listen, then* go blind)
But you can't make me
(I'd sail a thousand ships
To finally kiss your lips)
'Cause that's the only thing I won't
Do for you

(Na na na ow!)*
You can shake me
You take me to the edge
And knocked me* off the ledge
(Na na na ow!*)
You can break me
If it will make you mine
I listen, then* go blind
But you can't make me
I'd sail a thousand ships (Na na na ow!*)
To finally kiss your lips
The only thing I [song fades]*

What do you think?

I think overall it looks a lot better than it originally did. Like I said in the previous post, "The place so deep inside you in me" is most definitely "The place so deep inside you and me". "I'm not a boy, you dare to see me" doesn't make a lot of sense, though. I was still inclined to think he said the "I'm man enough for you" line, but if he really does say that, he says it awfully fast.

Thanks for the reply. The other version has nearly identical lyrics so that's why I'm inclined to believe those lyrics. I have the CD somewhere around here, but I'll have to find it. The lyric booklet isn't always 100% accurate as they didn't have the end of the song IIRC.

No problem. Glad Joeyy and I could help. I wouldn't be surprised if the lyrics booklet for the album left out the end. Usually lyrics booklets tend to leave out ad-libs and extra things, but it really depends on what the artist wants to put in the booklet.

I posted a new batch of songs on my transcription thread, so feel free to help out with those when you can, as well.

You asked me to take a look at this again. I'm afraid the following transcription won't be of much help, because clearly there are a few parts that we all hear differently - and even one line that I hear differently this time than I did the last. I'll post what I have (a mixture of our transcriptions), but ultimately you'll have to decide which you think is closest and just go with it, because I don't think the three of us are going to agree on every single word/noise.

Ow!

Ahh, ah-ah, ow!
Ahh, ah-ah, ow!

Do anything you want

(The random asterisk at the end is a mistake.)

Thanks for all your help. I'm looking for the CD still. If MCSMeister can help with the next song: Carly Hennessy - Young Love

Gave it a try. I'm pretty confident about most of it except for what I have in bold.

How old are you?
I'm sixteen

And so much more

Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love

I can't wait
I can't sit here waiting on the hands of fate
They're too slow, there's no way
I'm gonna sit here with these lonely hands and just contemplate
I'm gonna masturbate

But you don't know where you belong
It's right here with me everywhere
Gonna have to come on strong
If you really wanna get my

Young love
Young love
What do I have to do, boy, to deserve you?
And you know darn well that I could never hurt you
Much less desert you, come on and let your mind
Young love
Young love

Yes, I'm banned
From your birthday party 'cause I'm too much fun
For your love, gosh darn
It's getting to her brain, you're loving my thing
I'm sick of all her jive
I want a real good time

But you don't know where you belong
It's right here with me everywhere
Gonna have to come on strong
If you really wanna get my

Young love
Young love
What do I have to do, boy, to deserve you?
And you know darn well that I would never hurt you
Much less desert you, come on and let your mind
Young love
Young love
You'll never catch me, ah!

I wanna be with you

Oh, teen pressed and cold/deep breaths and cold
You're sixteen years old
Let's rock and roll

Come show me the way
Young love feels so good inside

Young love
Young love
What do I have to do, boy, to deserve you?
And you know darn well that I would never hurt you
Much less desert you, come on and let your mind
Young love
Young love
You'll never catch me, ah!
You'll never get my love

And do you want my love?
Young love, ah-ha
And do you want my love?
Young love, ah-ha
And do you want my love?
Young love, ah-ha
And do you want my love?
Young love, ah-ha

You are amazing! Thanks MCSMeister. I'm going to give you a little hint--(see link below). Maybe you can re-listen to it. That would be wonderful.

Lyrical booklet

PS - some of it's incorrect in the booklet.

You're welcome! So the album does have a lyrics booklet? That will definitely fix the two unsure parts I had. Here's the new transcription.

How old are you?
I'm sixteen
Uh
And so much more

Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love

I can't wait
I can't sit here waitin' on the hands of fate
They're too slow, there's no way
I'm gonna sit here with these lonely hands and just contemplate
I'm gonna master fate

Boy, you don't know where you belong
It's right here with me everywhere
Gonna have to come on strong
If you really wanna get my

Young love
Young love
What do I have to do, boy, to deserve you?
When you know darn well that I could never hurt you
Much less desert you
Come on and nurture my
Young love
Young love

Yes, I'm banned
From your birthday party 'cause I'm too much fun
For your love, gosh darn
It's getting through her brain, you're loving my thing
I'm sick of all her jive
I want a real good time
Uh huh

Boy, you don't know where you belong
It's right here with me everywhere
Gonna have to come on strong
If you really wanna get my

Young love
Young love
What do I have to do, boy, to deserve you?
And you know darn well that I would never hurt you
Much less desert you
Come on and nurture my
Young love
Young love
You'll never catch me, ah!

I wanna be with you

Oh, depressed and cold
You're sixteen years old
Let's rock and roll

Come show me the way
Young love feels so good inside

Young love
Young love
What do I have to do, boy, to deserve you?
And you know darn well that I would never hurt you
Much less desert you
Come on and nurture my
Young love
Young love
You'll never catch me, ah!
You'll never get my love

And do you want my love?
Young love, uh-huh
And do you want my love?
Young love, uh-huh
And do you want my love?
Young love, uh-huh
And do you want my love?
Young love, uh-huh

This is pretty much as correct as I can get it The only part that might be slightly wrong is the "do you want my love, young love, uh-huh" at the end. I feel like there may be a word or two wrong there.

Thanks, I'll update with mine and Joey's versions.

Okay I merged all three of ours today, and I'll upload it here. Let me know what you two think.

How old are you?

Next one up - lots of conversation during 00:00--00:22. Let me know what you guys hear. Carly Hennessy - Beautiful You (Nope the beginning is not in the lyric book )

That intro doesn't really sound like it was meant to be transcribed, just a ton of indecipherable background chatter. The only thing I can remotely make out is "I know something you don't!" at 0:12. But I think it's fine without this part.

Okay, thanks for your assistance. I think we can keep it as is, right? Hey, I found Enrique's CD, so we can revisit the song. . I'll post the picture soon.

Yeah, we can just keep it as is. I can think of some other songs that had background chatter-type stuff like that but it was all indecipherable, not meant to be part of the lyrics.

And that's good to hear! Hopefully we can fix the lyrics to "Break Me Shake Me" now.

* offtopic :
Yeah, I think we got it. There are small errors in the lyric book, but it helped a LOT! Joey and McSMeister, let me know what you think. I'll submit it ASAP

Enrique Iglesias "Break Me Shake Me" lyrics
Lyric booklet

Ow!

Na na na ow!
Na na na ow!

Do anything you want
But never find the heart to leave me
'Cause I need you too much
So play your game, but don't desert me
Maybe you heard I'm tough, ha ha ha
To love but, baby, please believe me

Don't be afraid to trust me (trust me)
I wouldn't trade you for the world
And if you feel you gotta test me
Before you be my girl

Then you can shake me
And you can break me
But you can't make me (kill our love)
'Cause that's the only thing I won't
Do for you

Sometimes I say too much (say too much)
I am right now, so please forgive me
When I can't help but touch (help but touch)
The place so deep inside you in me

I threw away my crutch (away my crutch)
I'm running for you, can't you see me?

Don't be afraid to try me (try me)
Come on and give a guy your world
And if you feel you gotta test me
Before you be my girl

Then you can shake me
And you can break me
But you can't make me (kill our love)
'Cause that's the only thing I won't
Do for you

We're always making love inside your mind
Somebody take me to the other side
I wanna get so deep inside your world (your world)
So don't run away, girl

Ow, then you can shake me
And you can break me, oh yeah!
But you can't make me (kill our love)
'Cause that's the only thing I won't
Do for you

Shake me, ow!
And you can break me (oh, yeah)
But you can't make me (kill our love)
I'm gonna, I'm gonna
I'm gonna make you mine

Then you can shake me
(You take me to the edge
And I'll jump off the ledge)
You can break me
(If it can make you mine)
(I'll lose a leg, go blind)
But you can't make me
(I'll sail a thousand ships
To find and kiss your lips)
'Cause that's the only thing I won't
Do for you

(Na na na ow!)
(You can shake me)
You take me to the edge
And I'll jump off the ledge
(Na na na ow!)
(You can break me)
If it will make you mine
I'll lose a leg, go blind
(But you can't make me)
I'll sail a thousand ships (Na na na ow!)
To find and kiss your lips
The only thing I [song fades]

It's spot-on now, yup! Did you know it had a lyrics booklet before, or did you just now discover it?

I knew there was a lyrics booklet--I just didn't know where I had the CD. I will upload it to the site.
