Song lyrics Intro back to basics by Christina Aguilera

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
