Correction Lyrics The Rottweiler (All Clues, Performances, & Revel!) by Nick Cannon

Lyrics

Every top-dog knows you gotta look your best, to perform your best
And the first time I touched the pigskin under the Friday night lights, I learned preparation is key
Being a hungry compet**or is actually how I rose to fame, it happened almost overnight!
I chose the rottweiler cause I was actually bitten by one as a kid
Now, this is an opportunity to embody my fear and to show the doubters it's not over
This pretty pup's got chops and I'm ready to take a bite out of this compet**ion

She'll only come out at nights
The lean and hungry type
Nothing new, I've seen her here before
Watching and waiting
She's sitting with you, but her eyes are on the door
So many have paid to see what you think you're getting for free
The woman is wild, a she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jaguar
Money's the matter
If you're in it for love, you ain't gonna get too far

(Ooh, here she comes)
Watch out boy, she'll chew you up
(Ooh, here she comes)
She's a maneater
(Ooh, here she comes)
Watch out boy, she'll chew you up
(Ooh, here she comes)
She's a maneater

Mind over matter
The beauty is there, but her beast is in the heart
Oooh~

(Ooh, here she comes)
Watch out, she'll only come out at night, ooh~
(Ooh, here she comes)
She's a maneater, oh!
(Ooh, here she comes)
Ooh, she'll chew you up, yeah
(Ooh, here she comes)
She's a maneater, oh!

I've been judged from the moment I've entered the game
So blowing the panel away with my bark meant EVERYTHING to me
It showed me that I was capable of succeeding on my own and I want it that way
In spite of being a humble pup, I knew early on I was meant to be a star!
You could say it all started thanks to musical theatre and make-up, but despite how versatile my skill is my pet degree wasn't fully recognized
Until now
So tonight, this dog's gonna show off some new tricks, 'cause I play to be here till the end, or at least until the love runs out

I'll be your light, your match, your burning sun
I'll be the bright, in black, that's making you run
And we'll feel alright, feel alright
Cause we'll work it out, yeah, we'll work it out
I'll be doin' this if you had a doubt
'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out

I got my mind made up
Man, I can't let go
I'm killing every second 'til it saves my soul
I'll be runnin', I'll be runnin'
'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out
And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down
'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out

Ooh~, woah~
We all run for something
Yeah, for God, for fate
For love, for hate
For gold, for rust
For diamonds, for dust
I got my mind made up and I can't let go
Killing every second 'til it saves my soul
I'll be runnin', I'll be runnin'
'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out
And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down
'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out

When I started this compet**ion, I never would've IMAGINED I'd make it this far!
Getting all the love for this past two weeks has made me feel so special, so grateful!
Let me tell you, the story of my life didn't always look like this
I didn't take the conventional route to start out on
And while there were tough times, I wouldn't change a single moment
Because it's led me to every opportunity I've had, on-screen, and off
Tonight, I am leaving my harmful stage and showing a side of me I don't normally share
Because I am not ready to take this mask off anytime soon

[Verse 1 (Castle on the Hill)
When I was six years old I broke my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
I tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain gra** I rolled down
I was younger then, take me back to when I

Found my heart and broke it here
Made friends and lost them through the years
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown
I can't wait to go home

I'm on my way
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I missed the way you make me feel, it's real
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

I'm on my way~
I still remember these old country lanes
When we did not know the answer

[Chorus (Castle on the Hill)
And I missed the way you make me feel, it's real
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Hee~ hee~
Over the castle on the hill

Being on this stage is the most fun I've had in as long as I could remember
But truth be told, I'm terrified of the panel finding out my true ident**y and judging me because of it
So I have been training every day to make sure I don't get unmasked anytime soon
Because here I can finally be seen for just my voice and pure talent
Everything is zen
I wanna win this more than anything I have won in my entire career
With this song, I'm ready to show the lengths I'll go to win that golden mask

Easy come, easy go
That's just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all
But you never give
Should've known you was trouble from the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open
Why were they open?

Gave you everything I had, you done tossed it in the trash
Tosed it in the trash, you did
And to give me all your love is all I'd ever ask, for what you don't understand is

I'd catch a grenade for you
Throw my hand on a blade for you
I'd jump in front of a train for you
You know I'd do anything for you
Ooh~, oh I'd go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you baby, but you won't do the same

If my body was on fire
Ooh, you'd watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me you're a liar, cause you never, ever, ever did baby

But darling, I'd still catch a grenade for you
Jump in front of a train for you
Ooh, Woah, I would go through all this pain
Yeah, take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you baby
But you won't do the same

(Owmm..)
I'm doing my best to be a zen-dog
Week after week I've tried to face my insecurities
My self-doubt can really get me stuck in my head
So I take time to meditate every day even if it's only for 30 seconds
I like to imagine myself in a tranquil pool, swimming from the deep end to the shallow
Zeroing in on the present has really helped focus my so-called life
Tonight, for the first time, I'm an open book

I'm going under, and this time, I fear there's no one to save me
This all or nothing really got away of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal, somebody to know, somebody to have, somebody to hold
But it's easy to say, but it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain

Now the day bleeds, into nightfall
And you're not here to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda use to being someone you loved

And I~ tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes
I fall into your arms~ I'll be safe in your sound 'til I come back around
For now, the say bleeds, into nightfall
And you're not here to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda use to being someone you loved

Now the day bleeds, into nightfall
And you're not here~ to get me through it all~
Yeah~, then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda use to being someone you loved
I let my guard down, and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda use to being someone you love

Being in a costume is maybe the most 'PRESENT' I've been
It's like everything else shuts out and I'm able to just be and I wish you could see my face in the mask cause like, I'm-I'm smiling ear to ear
This time of year, I'm always home with my family, so it's hard being away and keeping this all a secret
But I know it will all be worth it when I see the surprise look on my family's faces
They are the reason I'm here
We don't have a dog now, but I'm pretty sure this is gonna make us get one
The rottweiler has become an extension of me and I'm eating it up
I'm loving it, I don't want it to end

Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine
Gotta be down because I want it all
It started out with a kiss; how did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, but she's touching his

Chest now, he takes off her dress now, let me go, oh yeah..
And I just can't look; it's killing me
They're taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside

I'm Mr. Brightside
I just can't look; it's killing me!
And taking control~

I never~
But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me
Open up my eager e-eyes
Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

The first time I walked onto this stage, It felt like a new beginning for me
My big break happened when I was just a pup and I never really got a say into finding who I was
I spent years trying to live up to everyone's idea of who I should be
And although I fought hard to forge my own path
It's been impossible to change the way people see me
Until now
Here I have been givin' the most amazing opportunity to break that mold
And winning this would show everyone whos ever underestimated me that I am capable of so much more than they or even I thought I was

I was born in a thunderstorm
I grew up overnight
I played alone
I play on my own
But I survived

I had a one-way ticket to the place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hopes, just lies, and you're taught to cry in your pillow
But I survived

I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive, yeah

You took it out, but I'm still breathing
You took it out, but I'm still breathing
You took it out, but I'm still breathing
You took it out, but I'm still breathing
I have made every single mistake
That you could ever possibly make
I knew what I wanted, I went out and got it
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't
Told you that I would never be forgotten and all was in spite of you

And I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
I'm alive
I'm alive
Oh I'm alive~
I'm alive~
I'm still breathing

It is Chris Daughtry!
Nobody guessed it! Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum, superstar, recorder, It's Chris Daughtry!
Woah, what a treat!
Man, what in world made you do this show?

Man, I wanted to do something fun
I wanted to challenge myself
Saw it last year when T-Pain won, I was like "Oh, I just wanna do this, it looks like so much fun!" I had no idea how challenging it was going to be, I am so happy I did it
And my kids have no idea I'm doing this, so I am so pumped for them to see this
