Do you love me Mary Jane?
Oh, do you, do you, do you, do you, do you, do you, do you think you love me Mary Jane?
Don't play no game.
Do you love me Mary Jane?
I let you drive around my mind.
Can't count the times you've made me feel like I'm nuts.
Played me like a fool, like a fool, saying drink another whiskey, pop another pill.
Money makes you happy, heaven isn't real.
I need to love because your heart is still blown.
You ain't nothing but a liar.
Yes, I walk right out the fire.
Yeah, you try to keep me down, try to put me under the ground, but I'm only going higher.
I bet when I'm dreaming you'd be my friend, but you ain't small.
I ain't scared of telling you what you do.
You will swear I'm more than you.
Habit of messing up, staying up late and getting drunk.
Go on now.
I let you down a thousand times, broken promises.
It's like I ran away from you.
My career was my excuse until I saw you about to drown in your own tears.
And as you cried in my arms, you woke up my heart and I saw again what I found in you.
Cause the heart, oh heart, won't let me lose her.
Oh my, my, my, my, my, my.
No matter how I try, I just can't say goodbye and lose her.
Cause the heart, her heart, won't let me lose her.
No matter how I try, I just can't say goodbye and lose her.
Used to spend my nights out in the ballroom.
But you rescued me from reaching from the bottom.
And brought me back from being too far gone.
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey.
You're as sweet, sweet as strawberry wine.
You're as wild as a brandy.
And I'll stay strong.
Oh, you're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey.
You're as sweet, sweet as strawberry wine.
I'll stay strong all the time.
God says, I'll be committed to you.
I'll make this world, could make me walk away.
No matter what, I'll be on your side.
And no matter what you face, you won't be lonely.
This is my promise to you.
My love is everlasting.
And you can count on me.
But that's how long I'll love you.
That's how long I'll love you.
Forever, yeah.
Forever is a note.
That's how long I'll love you.
You don't have to worry about a thing.
You're forever.
I'm committed to you, yeah.
You're forever.
That's how long he'll be with you.
Oh, she made me weary.
Them young girls, they do get weary.
Wearing that same old shaggy dress.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But when she gets weary, try a little tenderness.
Oh, my, my, my.
It's not just sentimental, no, no, no, no, no.
It makes it easier, easier to bear.
Just try a little tenderness, yeah.
Hold her when you want her.
Yes, you do.
Try.
Squeeze her.
Go tease her.
Never leave her.
Feels so good to me.
You know you make me wanna kick my heel.
Get to say you will.
Get to say, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I want you to know.
I want you to know right now.
You be good to me, baby.
You know you make me want a little bit softer now,
little bit softer now.
Little bit softer now.
Little bit louder now, little bit louder now.
Jump up in the shower now.
Jump up in the sky now
Wooo
Everybody all over the world
Jump up in the sky now
Take my mind
And take my pain
Like an empty bottle
Takes the rain
And heals
Heals
And take my past
And take my sins
Like an empty cell
Takes the wind
And heals
Heals
And tell me some
Things last
And tell me some
Things last
And tell me something
Tell me something last
Because I
Heal
Heal, heal, heal
I should've known by the way
That there was something in your eyes
And it wasn't right
Should've known by the way
You would pass me by
But I only have myself to blame
For falling for your stupid games
I wish my life could be the way
It was before I saw your face
You stole my happiness
You want my future
You can't have it
Still trying to erase you from my past
I want you gone so bad
You stole my happiness
Took the lonely and took me for a ride
And I wanna
Have you ever reached a rainbow's end
And did you find your pot of gold
Ever felt like you was dreaming
Just to find that you're awake
And the magic that surrounds you
Will lift you up
And guide you on your way
I can see it in the stars across the sky
And it's possible
You're not impossible
But it's deep in my heart
It's possible
When you
When you believe
See I waited all my
For this moment to arrive
And finally
Old time dream
Of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome
Would be waiting for me
And the crowds would cheer
When they see my face
And the voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be
I'll be there someday
Hold the distance
I will
If I just be strong
I know it
Would be worth
When I go the distance
I'll be right
Was born
In a little tin hole
Just like the river I've been running
Running ever since
But it's been a long
Time coming
But I know
Change gonna come
Oh yes it will
Ooh
When I go
To my brother
And I say brother
Help me please
But he whines
But I know
Change gonna come
Oh yes it will
Ain't no river wide
Me call me
Just call my name
Yeah yeah yeah
The symphony
Of way down in my
Head until you
Tell us all this time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Bold to live to scare
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the beast
Ever just the same
Surprise
Ever as before
And ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Beauty and the beast
Finally we are here now
I've been waiting all
Every day
You're all I think about
My mind is like a river
And you always bathe
in the water
Oh I prayed for you
Oh I cried
Can't believe we're here at last
Oh I prayed for you
Oh I cried
Can I take you through it
Touch me on my face
Kiss me on my hand
Take me to a place
Where we'd find love
I was supposed to feel
Can we make love
I guess I'll
First time
Oh
First time
Ooh
You stay through my window
I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself
You're such a lucky guy
To have a girl like her
It's only a dream come true
She belongs to me
And it was just my imagination
Once again
It's just my imagination
Running away with me
Every night on my knees I pray
Oh
Hear my plea
Don't ever
Take a love from me
Once again
With me
Oh yeah
It's just my imagination
Be with me
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bagged myself
And thrown it in my face
But I've come through
We are the champions
Pray to the end
We are the champions
No time for losers
Cause we are the champions
We are the champions
Cause we are the champions
Of the world
In a broken down car on a sad street
Damn near lost it all on a bandwagon
I was praying for change
How could only twelve steps feel so far away
I know it's unpretty
Can't hide the pain that I've been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was was wrong
But he's the one who built me
I am nothing
Without my sins
I can't pretend
They're not unpretty
I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
I know it's unpretty
I let you drive around my mind
I can't count the times you made me
Feel like I'm nothing
Play me like a fool
Like a fool
Saying drink another whiskey
Pop another pill
Money makes you happy
Heaven isn't real
You won't find nobody to love
Because your heart is too poor
But a liar
Yeah, I'll walk right
But you do
You will swear I caused it
Take my mind
And take my pain
Like an empty bottle
Takes the rain
And he'll
He'll
And tell me something
Tell me something less
Because
We need you
We need you to hear it
You're the only one that can do it
You're the only one that can hear
So please
Don't race it right now
The lights and here we go

As a little boy named Adam
Oh, really?
Yeah

How many years ago was that?
I think five years ago
How far did you get into the show?
I made the top 50
And why do you think you got let go?
I didn't have
My
Stuff together
I was just a chubby little Latino boy
I wanna see

I need to see what this before and after is
Oh my God
Wow

That's you, girl
I wanna know what y'all are looking at
Well, welcome

You sure are a minister and you can preach to me anytime you want
No, no, no, no, no

Yes, sir
I think you're a little bit annoying
You think I'm annoying?
I think you're both annoying and good
Wait, do you like me?
Well, first of all, you are likable
And I think that you may not think you are
And that's why you're putting all this on
Right
Because, honey, I am
I've been insecure Jones for a long, long time
And I know all about it, okay?
I know all about it
Look at
I do this sometimes because I don't feel like I'm enough
I also think no one has ever believed in you
Ever
But hold on, Erica
Erica
There's a lot there
But some people don't have anything
So it's easier to strip it out than build it up
So I say yes
I can wait another day
Johanna
Will you marry me?
A gunman walked into my school
I was in art room one
And he shot up art room two
Before he made his way to art room one
Lost a lot of friends
Eight students were killed
Two teachers were killed
And it's just really been negative, man
Santa Fe's had a bad rap here since 2018
What you doing, Katie?
Our country has failed us
Facts
This is not okay
You should be singing here because you love music
It's true
Not because you had to go through that f***
I agree
You didn't have to lose eight friends
I hope that you remind people
That we have to change
M-I-S-S-I-S-I-P-P-I
Something like that
So tell us about where you live
Everybody knows everybody
I get barbecue ribs at the gas station
Half slab or full slab?
Full
I eat a full slab
You sure do because I do too
Me too
Are you the country version of me?
Everybody said I look like you
Were we separated at birth?
Something like that
Something like this
You have an attitude problem
In a good way
I think I've been pretty respectful
And I like it
But you are no longer allowed to play it safe
Yes, ma'am
Wow!
I'm sorry, this is very cool
So tell us who you are and where you're from
I'm sorry
My name is Margie
What the heck is happening to me?
This has been the coolest day of my life already and I haven't even sung for you?
You're awesome
Did you just make a box over your head?
Yeah, I saw that
So you have yet to finish your name
My name is Margie Mays
I'm 25 years old
Is that your real name?
Yeah, Margie Mays
I've never seen anybody with so much energy
How many cups of coffee did you drink today?
I had a cup
A cup
I'm so tired
Don't ever drink coffee again
You guys are crazy
Alright, let's do this
Alright, I hope I don't forget the words
I like this
This is your spot
Are you scared of me? Are you okay?
I'm totally afraid of you
Margie
Yes, ma'am
Do you know where I live?
That happens in a live performance
They're going to tell you what's happened to them before
Hunter
That was the best performance you have ever given
Perfection is an illusion
It's an illusion
It doesn't matter
That shows that you are human
And vulnerable
It's amazing
It's emotion
That's what music is
And I know this is a lot of pressure
But it's not about perfection
It's about resonating with people
And you just did
Yes
What an incredible
An incredible song choice
Listen
Hunter
You connected with us
You kept your eyes open
Your heart open
You were so connected that you forgot where you were
And that is perfect
Yes
You, my friend
Noah, you made it all the way to the showcase round
What are you doing?
It's a little surprise
You mean you're going to keep my word for real?
Well, you say it
And it is gospel
Yes
And so we've got something special
We have adopted
What?
You
Your very own
Alpaca
Oh my
This here, Noah
Is his Hollywood stand-in
But please say hello
Listen
To
Look at that
Face
I'm shook
Listen
This is so cute
Hi
So you can name him
Yanny or Laurel
Or whatever
Whatever crosses your mind
It's Laurel
For those of you who don't know
It's Laurel?
Okay, well
Here's the official certificate
I love that
Oh my God
Adoption papers, my friend
Wow
My word
Is my bond
Congratulations
Last time you were being chased by one
You guys should get reacquainted
Yeah
No, no, no
The last time I had one of those
Chasing me in someone's backyard
You can't not love it
See, this one's quiet
This is gonna end much better for all of us
This is quiet
When you over again
She's all right
Okay
There you go
They'll take it from here
Mermaid
He was telling me a story
That when he's in concert
Yes
That
In Australia
He was given a boot
Of someone in the audience
And asked to pour a beer in it
No
Chewy
No
It's called a Chewy
Yes
Learn something new every day
What you got down there?
No, no, no
Come on
She's got seven mates to help her
You guys are really pretty
Oh man
Thanks man
What?
I'm sorry
Thank you very much
We'll take that
We don't wake up this way
But Lionel is frozen this way
I'm frozen
I can dig it
And what do you do?
What's going on?
I'm a garbage man
And I work on the back
Of a garbage truck
So what kind of
Performing experience
Do you have?
I don't have any
I sing on the back
Of a garbage truck
That's it
Do you ever fall off
The back of the garbage truck?
I've come close
But I ain't gonna lie to you
When I got a grip
I ain't letting go
Wait, wait, wait
Ah
I ain't squeezing
I'm just kidding
So you have no experience
Whatsoever
None whatsoever
If I said you warming up
And practicing
You don't know anything about it
You just hit it like
I just hit what you tell me to
And Katy has to sneeze
You have allergies today
You got sick
No, I've gotta
Gonna stick this up here
There's no days off
In Katy Perry land
Never has there been
A day off
Thoughtful
You think that you guys
Are just gonna lounge
When you make it
Forget about it
Oh no
Sing firework
With that in there
She's suffering
Beep beep
Katy, Katy
What?
Katy, what are you doing?
What do you guys do
Late at night for fun?
Cow tipping
No
What are you doing?
No
What are you doing?
We're cow tipping
Okay
I'm sorry
We're tired
It's late
And I'm cow tipping
You can't unsee that
I'm so sorry
You know what?
I should've let Lionel
Do his first cow tipping
Watching stuff go on
Behind the scenes
That you know is
Completely off the cuff
And just happening
You kinda have to be ready
For you know
Something to go wrong
Or you know
But at the same time
You gotta stay
The heck out of the way
I don't think that they knew
That we were actually
Getting them
Cause Katy said it as a joke
And then we were like
Hey, here are these
Roller skates
Go have fun
And then Katy and Luke
Just start going
And security's like
Are we supposed to
Follow them?
And they're just
Kinda going everywhere
Everybody's watching
But it was just
A really fun
Like genuine moment
So Katy's you know
Skating around
She takes a little spill
We're you know
A little worried
But I mean
She's such a great person
To do stuff like this
It's like you know
We're panicking
Behind the scenes
To make sure
That she's okay
But she's
Show me one of yours
I'll show you one of mine
Okay
Here's one of mine
Okay
I can quote
The entire movie
Of Mean Girls
From start to finish
No it's like
It's like gross
That I can do that
No I mean like really
No like truly
I could start
Wherever you want me to
Well mine was
Not like that
Mine was more awful
Do you wanna see it Lionel?
I'm afraid but yes
Okay
I'd love to see it
So you can quote
Mean Girls
I can look like a frog
Do it
It's disgusting
You can look like a frog
Nobody's gonna wanna
Make out with me
Or any of that
Well who cares
Right
No just look
It's horrible

Gonna take me out
