I was born to give | I was born to give | ||

|-|Demo= | |||
<poem>Try to play cool like you just don't care | |||
But soon I'll be playin' in your underwear | |||
I'm like a mage with the magic spell | |||
Come like a dog when I ring your bell | |||
I got the money and I got fame | |||
You got the hots to ride on my plane | |||
Give me all that I desire | |||
Cuz down with me I'm takin' you higher | |||
I'm the baddest of the bad | |||
I'm the best that you've ever had | |||
I'm the tops, I'm the thing | |||
All the girls get up when I sing, yeah | |||
I'm the meanest in the place | |||
Step up, I'll mess with your face | |||
Don't care where you are | |||
Look up and follow my star | |||
Ooh, I'm gonna tear down the wall | |||
I may not be here when you call | |||
So best be givin' me your all, ooo | |||
After the havoc that I'm gonna wreak | |||
No more words will critics have to speak | |||
I've got the answers to the tangled knot | |||
Sleep tight in your cot | |||
Ohh baby, I've been told that I'm goin' crazy | |||
Ohh baby, but I can't be held down | |||
Ohh baby, somehow I'm keepin' it steady | |||
Ohh baby, I'm tearin' up this town | |||
Hey, this is what I like | |||
Cut my heart with a martyr's spike | |||
Hey, this is nothing new | |||
I've got more than enough for you | |||
I can take on anybody, I can do my thing | |||
I don't want to hurt nobody but a bee has got to sting | |||
I'm 'a fix it if you mix it up, hoo hoo | |||
Talk smack then I'm a'gonna shut you up, hoo hoo | |||
I am the greatest man that ever lived | |||
I was born to give (I was born to give) | |||
I am the greatest man that ever lived | |||
Radioactive (Radioactive) | |||
Somebody said all the world's a stage | |||
And each of us is a player | |||
That's what I've been trying to tell you | |||
In Act I, I was struggling to survive | |||
Nobody wanted my action dead or alive | |||
Act II, I hit the big time | |||
And bodies be all up on my behind | |||
And I can't help myself | |||
Cuz I was born to shine | |||
I gotta get me mine | |||
If you don't like it, you can shove it | |||
But you don't like it, you love it | |||
Cuz I'll be up here in a rage | |||
Delivering the curtain down on this stage | |||
I'm the greatest man that ever lived | |||
I'm the greatest man that ever lived | |||
I am the greatest man that ever lived | |||
I was born to give and give and give | |||
I am the greatest man that ever lived | |||
Radioac-dioac-dioac-dioactive | |||
I am the greatest man that ever lived | |||
I was born to give | |||
Oh! | |||
Oh! | |||
Oh!</poem> | |||
