...THUGIE ONE LAST TIME
(Sung to "...Baby One More Time" performed by Britney Spears)
Oh thugie, thugie
Oh thugie, thugie
Oh thugie, thugie
How was I supposed
to know
That you needed
your spleen
Oh thugie, thugie
I shouldn't have let
you go
I really should of
killed you
But I'll settle
For a method
A little less bloody
Want to hear it?
It's simple
I knock you out
with a punch
Then a mighty kick
to follow up
(follow up)
A burst of flame
In your face
And then the end,
I'll hit you thugie
One last time
Oh thugie, thugie
The reason I fight
is you
Can't let you hurt
nice people
Pathetic thugie
I'll kill you yes it's
so true
Take my sword and run
it through you
But I'll settle
For a method
A little less bloody
Want to hear it?
It's simple
I knock you out
with a punch
Then a mighty kick
to follow up
(follow up)
A burst of flame
In your face
And then the end,
I'll hit you thugie
One last time
Oh thugie, thugie
Oh thugie, thugie
Oh thugie, thugie how
was I supposed
to know
Oh thugie, thugie I
shouldn't have let
you go
I must confess, I'll
knock you out
with a punch
It's a mighty kick
to follow up
Of course it will hurt
And then the end
I'll hit you thugie
One last time
I knock you out
with a punch
Then a mighty kick
to follow up
(follow up)
A burst of flame
In your face
And then the end,
I'll hit you thugie
One last time
I knock you out
with a punch
Then a mighty kick
to follow up
(follow up)
A burst of flame
In your face
And then the end,
I'll hit you thugie
One last time
BRAVE ENOUGH
(Sung to "Strong Enough" performed by Sheryl Crow)
Gods above it's a danger
And I am such a stranger
You must know that this life will be hard
Are you brave enough to be my bard?
My bard?
Monsters, giants, gods and man
We'll stop them all if we can
You and me must stand guard
Are you brave enough to be my bard?
Fight for good
It's not meant to be fun
Fight for good
It must be done
It must be done
Will you journey Greece with me?
And if I scare you, do not flee
Should my evil past play it's card
Are you brave enough to be my bard?
My bard?
Are you brave enough to be my bard?
Are you brave enough to be my bard?
Are you brave enough?
My bard?
It will be a challenge, yes it's true
But we can do it, me and you
And if my life became a broken shard
Would you be brave enough to be my bard?
Fight for good
It's not meant to be fun
Fight for good
It must be done
YOU WILL STAND BY ME
(Sung to "My Heart Will Go On," performed by Celine Dion)
I once lived in darkness
So cold and alone
But then you came and stood by me
You are one so innocent
Teaching me to be good
Because you came and stood by me
Here
Now
Wherever we go
I believe that you will stand by me
Forever
You are at my side
And know that I love you
And I need you to stand by me
Your love touches my heart
And shows me the light
Because you show me the way
Don't you know I need you
To stay with me forever
And to always stand at my side
Here
Now
Wherever we go
I believe that you will stand by me
Forever
You are at my side
And know that I love you
And I need you to stand by me
Together, standing side-by-side
And we will always be with each other
Stay with me, Gabrielle
You are safe here with me and
I know you will stand by me

I'LL FIGHT YOU ALWAYS FOREVER
(Sung to "I Love You Always Forever" performed by Donna Lewis)
Feels like
I'm standing in a burning town
With screams coming from my house
Feels like
I'm lost to evil and burning desires
With a need to destroy you
Those days
With my sister come rushing back to me
And I can see my mother too
I remember
That night when you came into my town
Burning the village and taking my life
I see, see it again
I'll fight you, always forever
Here on Earth or down in Tartarus
Everywhere, I will be with you
Everything, I'll do to torture you
I'll fight you, always forever
Here on Earth or down in Tartarus
Everywhere, I will be with you
Everything, I'll do to torture you
You've got
The most unbelievable
Blue eyes, I've ever seen
And I want
To gouge them right out
As we fight here
Under this blue sky
Wanting blood
Gabrielle watches
Hoping you don't die
I see, see it again
I'll fight you, always forever
Here on Earth or down in Tartarus
Everywhere, I will be with you
Everything, I'll do to torture you
I'll fight you, always forever
Here on Earth or down in Tartarus
Everywhere, I will be with you
Everything, I'll do to torture you
I'll fight you
Fight you forever
Never stop
Even if I die
I'll fight you here and now
Fight you until the end of-
I'll fight you
Fight you forever
Never stop
Even if I die
I'll fight you here and now
Fight you until the end of-
I'll fight you
Fight you forever
Never stop
Even if I die
I'll fight you here and now
Fight you until the end of-
I'll fight you
Fight you forever
Never stop
Even if I die
I'll fight you here and now
Fight you until the end of time
I'll fight you, always forever
Here on Earth or down in Tartarus
Everywhere, I will be with you
Everything, I'll do to torture you
I'll fight you, always forever
Here on Earth or down in Tartarus
Everywhere, I will be with you
Everything, I'll do to torture you

MY WAY IS FOR REAL
(Sung to "My Love is for Real" performed by Paula Abdul)
My Way
My Way
My Way is for real
As a warrior, I must kill people
Stop them I must, because they are evil
Yes, I know how you feel
But my Way is for real
To stop their madness I have to kill
These people are crazy, they don't get their fill
Yes, I know how you feel
But my Way is for real
Yes, I know how you feel
But my Way is for real
So Gabby, please don't worry
I want to make it better
And I know this Way is not for you
I'll fight to keep you safe
You will never have to kill
Because I will take care of you
No more Callisto and don't fear Alti
Najara's not a problem, you are free
Yes, I know how you feel
But my Way is for real
Yes, I know how you feel
But my Way is for real
There's death and killing
In my life
I don't want or ask for it
But it's here
So please follow your Way
I want you to know peace
But know that I have my Way too
Let me be free to follow
This truth which is my life
It's the Way of the Warrior
Oh Gabby
Yes, I know how you feel
I know your heart
Yes, I know how
My Way is for real
Oh Gabby
Yes, I know how you feel
Yes I know how
I know your heart
My Way is for real
My Way is for real
My Way is for real
My Way is for real
JUST A WARRIOR
(Sung to "Just a Girl" performed by No Doubt)
Hold my sword straight up in my hand
I am ready
To defend this land
I'll stop warlords
Who threaten what I love
And even the evil
From above
'Cause I'm just a warrior, that's who I be
With hair that's black like night
I'm just a warrior, with a bard at my side
And we stand for what is right
Oh...I have nothing to fear!
The moment that I awake
There are more problems
Like monsters or an earthquake
Then there's warlords
They never rest
And to stop the warlords
Is my quest
'Cause I'm just a warrior
It's what I am
'Cause I know just how
To fight
I'm just a warrior
And I'm unstoppable
'Cause I have never
Lost a fight
I'm just a warrior
Take a good look at me
I'm the number one prototype
Oh...I have nothing to fear!
Oh...Am I making myself clear?
I'm just a warrior
I'm just a warrior in the world
That's all I know how to be!
I'm just a warrior, never a tiresome game
I do what's right
Ready for a fight
I'm just a warrior and I'm ready for you
You know you won't beat me
No not tonight
I'm just a warrior, but I'm not evil
Because long ago I found the light
I'm just a warrior, here I be
I'm a warrior who's full of might
Oh...I have nothing to!
Oh...I have nothing to!!
Oh...I have nothing to fear
I LOVE YOU, GABRIELLE
(Sung to "I Believe in You" performed by Amanda Marshal)
Somewhere there's an evil thug
Trying to find his spleen
Somewhere there's a warlord
Learning it's wrong to mean
Somewhere there's an innocent heart
Trying to find her Way
Somewhere there's a warrior
Not sure how to say
I love you, Gabrielle
I can't even count the ways
That I love you, Gabrielle
But it's so hard to say
This to you, my Gabrielle
Somewhere in ancient Greece
Two women walk along
Somewhere deep inside their hearts
They sing the same song
The young bard means to much to her
Into her life she flew
But the warrior can't say
What she knows is true
I love you, Gabrielle
I can't even count the ways
That I love you, Gabrielle
But it's so hard to say
This to you, my Gabrielle
This love is so true
This love is so real
This love is so deep
I cannot deny
This love is what I need inside
I love you, Gabrielle
I can't even count the ways
That I love you, Gabrielle
But it's so hard to say
This to you
I love you, Gabrielle
I can't even count the ways
That I love you, Gabrielle
So I'll have to keep it
To myself, my Gabrielle
I love you, Gabrielle
So I'll have to keep it
To myself, my Gabrielle

For me havin' fun
And you can't take my

"Xe-e-na" no I can't do without
"Xe-e-na" nothing can stop me now
Through ups and downs, I've still got "Xena"

And every season they out-do themselves
I like the stories they tell me
And I like to write some for myself
To meet these godly idols
Gotta reach for it
Watch it everyday
Gotta reach for it
Know it in my heart
Gotta reach for it
Because I'm loyal, a fan forever true
It's the only show
That's responsible
For me havin' fun

"Xe-e-na" nothing can stop me now
Through ups and downs, I've still got "Xena"
