Christina Aguilera - Intro (Back To Basics) lyrics

A very pleasant good evening ladies and gentlemen

It is now time...

The one and only...

There never will be another...

Christina Aguilera

That's how music should sound

Ohh yeah

I've waited for some time

To get inside the minds

Of every legend I've ever wanted to stand beside

It's like an endless ride

Feeling the lows and highs

Of every lyric and melody

Every single rhyme

So here I stand today

In tribute I do pay

To those before me who laid it down and paved the way

And so to God I pray that he will give me strength

To carry forward the gift of song in his good faith

In his good faith...

I'm going back to basics

To where it all began

I'm ready now to face it

I wanna understand

What made the soul singers

And the blues figures

That inspired a higher generation

The jazz makers, and the ground breakers

They gave so much of themselves and dedication

So here I stand today

In tribute I do pay

To those before me who laid it down and paved the way

Ohhh yeah

hey... ha
