The moment I wake up Before I put on my makeup I say a little prayer for you While combing my hair, now, And wondering what dress to wear, now, I say a little prayer for you Forever, forever, you’ll stay in my heart And I will love you Forever, forever, we never will part Oh, how I’ll love you Together, together, that’s how it must be To live without you Would only be heartbreak for me. ---

Inside himself, He follows the wrong directions Perfect English words all right But with the wrong inflections But look at the dust at his feet He’s not the one she loves [It was a different man](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox3npPy2tWs), no he’s never been found You can be so up, you can be so down It was a different man, no he’s never been there You can be halfway, you can be all there It was a different man, no he’s never been here You can be so close, you can be so near It was a different man, playing different cards You can be so soft, you can be so hard ---

I don’t talk to strangers. It seems a waste of time To hear someone you don’t know Recall a life you won’t know. Those who talk to strangers Might not intend a crime. But still, all such occasions Are dangerous situations. Note: This song, with lyrics by Tim Rice and recorded by Placido Domingo, uses a tune from Andrew Lloyd Webber that was later recycled into The Phantom of the Opera as “All I Ask of You” ---

[that is so cool] Don’t talk to strangers 'Cause they’re only there to do you harm Don’t write in starlight 'Cause the words may come out real Don’t hide in doorways You may find the key that opens up your soul Don’t go to heaven 'Cause it’s really only hell Don’t smell the flowers They’re an evil drug to make you lose your mind Don’t dream of women 'Cause they only bring you down ---

[Don’t open the door to strangers](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f55gu-GaFaI) Don’t let them in, to your heart They only want to take you far from me Don’t open the door tonight Don’t trust the man in the windows Don’t let him buy all your dreams He only wants to make them all his own Don’t open the door tonight See the angry sea, it’s a sign for me There’s another shore, what we waiting for Feel the wind is sad, all the things I had Blown away and falling around me Don’t leave your thoughts unguarded Don’t let them float where they will They never tell me what I want to know Don’t open the door tonight ---

All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon in the middle of the road. And he said: “Play the best song in the world, or I’ll eat your soul.” Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other, and we each said… “Okay.” And we played the first thing that came to our heads, Just so happened to be, The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World.
