And do rate, view and comment on my other videos like: www.youtube.com (Things I'll Never Say by Avril Lavigne) www.youtube.com (Always Be My Baby by Mariah Carey) www.youtube.com (Wake Up by Hilary Duff) The FAQs: Q: What software did you use to make videos? A: I use Windows Movie Maker. Q: What is the font for "My Happy Ending"? A: The font is "Complete in Him". Q: Where can I find that font? A: It can be found and downloaded from www.dafont.com I decided to put the FAQ here on the description cause I'm really lazy to reply those common questions asked. Do read it before asking me questions because I won't be replying the questions which are stated in the FAQ. Kriisiie. ;)

I don't know how but I suddenly lose control There's a fire within my soul, Just one look and I can hear a bell ring One more look and I forget everything, Oo-oo-oh Mamma mia, here I go again My my, how can I resist you? Mamma mia, does it show again? My my, just how much I've missed you Yes, I've been brokenhearted Blue since the day we parted Why, why did I ever let you go? Mamma mia, now I really know, My my, I could never let you go. I've been angry and sad about the things that you do I can't count all the times that I've told you we're through And when you go, when you slam the door I think you know that you won't be away too long You know that I'm not that strong. Just one look and I can hear a bell ring One more look and I forget everything, Ooo-oh Mamma mia, here I go again My my, how can I resist you? Mamma mia, does it show again?

Smokie - Living next door to Alice 1977 Sally called when she got the word, And she said: "I suppose you've heard - About Alice". When I rushed to the window, And I looked outside, And I could hardly believe my eyes - As a big limousine rolled up Into Alice's drive. Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, Or where she's gonna go, I guess she's got her reasons, But I just don't want to know, 'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice. Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance, To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance, Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice. We grew up together, Two kids in the park, We carved our initials, Deep in the bark, Me and Alice. Now she walks through the door, With her head held high, Just for a moment, I caught her eye, As a big limousine pulled slowly Out of Alice's drive. Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, Or where she's gonna go, I guess she's got her reasons, But I just don't want to know, 'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice. Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance, To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance, Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice. And Sally called back and asked how I felt, And she said: "I know how to help - Get over Alice". She said: "Now Alice is gone, But I'm still here, You know I've been waiting For twenty-four years" And a big limousine dissapeared. I don't know why she's leaving, Or where she's gonna go, I <b>...</b>
