Most Wanted

Most Wanted is the third album by American pop singer Hilary Duff after Metamorphosis (2003) and her self-titled 2004 album. It is her first "Greatest Hits"/"Best Of" compilation album. In addition to her previous songs, it features three new tracks, which were co-written and co-produced by Joel Madden, lead vocalist for Good Charlotte and Duff's current boyfriend as of July 2005. Some editions of the album feature different tracks, one being "Supergirl", which is also a new track. His brother, Benji Madden, also contributed to the album, as did Goldfinger's John Feldman. On the music video show Total Request Live, Duff said that Most Wanted was not meant to be a greatest hits album, but that her label had told her that it was time to release another album.

It was released on August 16, 2005 in the United States and Canada (see 2005 in music), and is available in both standard and bonus versions. The standard version includes her famous hits, and three new songs. The bonus version, also known as the Signature Edition or Collector's Edition, includes four new songs, bonus packaging, and bonus material. The standard edition features a hidden track "I Am" (Remix 2005). "The Getaway", "Mr. James Dean" and "Fly" were taken from Hilary Duff (2004), while "So Yesterday" and "Metamorphosis" originated from Duff's debut album, Metamorphosis (2003). "Girl Can Rock" and "Our Lips Are Sealed" were not included on any of Duff's previous album releases, though the former was included on two renewed Metamorphosis CDs.

Wake Up

There's people talking
They talk about me
They know my name
They think they know everything
But they don't know anything about me

Give me dance floor
Give me a d.j.
Play me a record forget what they say
Cause i need to go need to getaway tonight

I put my make-up on a Saturday night
I try to make it happen try to make it alright
I know i make mistakes i'm livin' life day to day
It's never really easy but it's ok

Chorus:
Wake up, wake up on a saturday night
Could be newyork maybe hollywood and vine
London, paris maybe tokyo
There's something goin' on anywhere i go
Tonight, tonight yeah tonight

The city's restless
It's all around me
People in motion sick of all the dreams
And they need to go need to getaway tonight

I put my make-up on a saturday night
I try to make it happen try to make alright
I know i make mistakes i'm livin' life day to day
It's never really easy but it's ok

(repeat chorus)

People all around you
Everywhere that you go
People all around you
They don't really know you
Everybody's watching like it's some kind of show
Everybody's watching they don't really know you know
And forever...

Wake up wake up...
(repeat 3x)

(repeat chorus 2x)

The Getaway

Hilary Duff

Here I am again
Talking to myself
Sitting at a red light
Both hands on the wheel
How am I supposed to feel?
So much running through my mind
First you wanna be free
Now you say you need me
Can't make signals in signs
It's so hard to let you in
Thinking you might slam the breaks again

[CHORUS]
Put the paddle down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway
The traffic in my brain's driving me insane
This is more than I can take
You told me that you loved me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta getaway

I can't keep coming back to you
Everytime you're in the mood
To whisper something sweet in my ear
It's so hard to move on
'Cause everytime I think you're gone
You show up in my rear view mirror

Is this just a detour?
'Cause I gotta be sure
That you really knew what you said
It's so hard to let you in
Thinking you might slam the brakes again

[REPEAT CHORUS]

To a place where I can be redefined
Where you're out of sight
And you're out of mind
But the truth is I can't even say goodbye

Here I am again
Talking to myself
Sitting at a red light
Both hands on the wheel
How am I supposed to feel
So much running through my mind

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Getaway, getaway, getaway
Getaway, getaway, getaway
Getaway, getaway, getaway

Beat Of My Heart


*to the beat of my,to the beat of my,to the beat of my heart*

I'm thinking about letting it out.
I wanna give in,
I wanna go out.
I'm lookin' around
I've finally found
The rythm of love,
The feeling of sound.
It's makin' a change,
The feeling is strange.
It's comin' right back,right back in my range.
Don't worry about,anything else.
I'm wakin' up to the beat of my,to the beat of my, to the beat of my heart ...

The beat of my heart,the beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,it tears us apart.
The beat of my heart,the beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,now i'm back to the start.

*to the beat of my,to the beat of my,to the beat of my heart*

I'm up from my down,i turned it around.
I'm makin' it back,i'm not gonna drown.
I'm takin' a stance,i won't miss a chance.
I want you to see i'm not scared to dance.
The way that you feel could never be real.
I want you to know i've finished the deal.
So i'm sayin' to you, i'll always be true to the rythm inside.
To the beat of my,to the beat of my, to the beat of my heart ...

The beat of my heart,the beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,it tears us apart.
The beat of my heart,the beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,now i'm back to the start.

*to the beat of my,to the beat of my,to the beat of my heart*

Away away
Away away

The beat of my heart,the beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,it tears us apart.
The beat of my heart,the beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart,now i'm back to the start.
Repeat 2x

*to the beat of my,to the beat of my,to the beat of my heart*

Away away
Away away

Come Clean


Let's go back
Back to the beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned

'cause perfect didn't feel so perfect
Trying to fit a square into a circle
Was no lie
I defy

Chorus
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'cause i wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, i'm cloming clean

I'm shedding
Shedding every color
Trying to find a pigment of truth
Beneath my skin

'cause different
Doesn't feel so different
And going out is better
Then always staying in
Feel the wind

(chorus)

I'm coming clean
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
I'm coming clean

(chorus)

Let's go back
Back to the beginning

Mr. James Dean


All the king's horses
Wouldn't make me believe
Even when the walls come crashing down
You still will never be
A rebel to the first degree
Why don't you stop trying so hard?
'cause there's no men, man enough to be

Chorus:
Another james dean?
You're not like him
So don't call me friend
Cuz you're nothing like me
Even when the world stop turning
There will never be another james dean
All the faces you're making
Save it for the scene
All the people you're faking
Why was it only me?
I saw right through your eyes
And you're just not so deep
I've had too many cries
Mr. prince charming?
Sorry, you could never be

Repeat chorus

Now have move to the next set
Next town
Next girl
Have fun baby
I'm taking back my world

So Yesterday

So yesterday)
(so yesterday)
(so yesterday)

You can change your life
(if you wanna)
You can change your clothes
(if you wanna)
If can change your mind
Well that's the way it goes

But i'm gonna keep your jeans
And your old black hat
('cuz i wanna)
They look good on me
You're never gonna get them back

At least not today
Not today
Not today, 'cuz

If it's over let it go and
Come tomorrow it will seem
So yesterday
So yesterday
I'm just a bird
Thats already flown away
Laugh it off
Let it go and
When you wake up it will seem
So yesterday
So yesterday
Haven't you heard that i'm gonna be ok

Ha!!
Okay

You can say you're bored
(if you wanna)
You could act real tough
(if you wanna)
You could say you're torn
But i've heard enough

Thank you
You've made my mind up for me
When you started to ignore me
You won't see a single tear
It isn't gonna happen here

At least not today
Not today
Not today, 'cuz

If it's over let it go and
Come tomorrow it will seem
So yesterday
So yesterday
I'm just a bird
Thats already flown away
Laugh it off
Let it go and
When you wake up it will seem
So yesterday
So yesterday
Haven't you heard that i'm gonna be ok

If you're over me
I'm already over you
If it's all been done
What is left to do
How can you hang up
If the line is dead
If you wanna walk out
I'm a step ahead
If you're moving on
I'm already gone
If the light is off
Then it isn't on

At least not today
Not today
Not today, 'cuz

If it's over let it go and
Come tomorrow it will seem
So yesterday
So yesterday
I'm just a bird
Thats already flown away
Laugh it off
Let it go and
When you wake up it will seem
So yesterday
So yesterday
Haven't you heard you're so (yesterday)

If it's over let it go and
Come tomorrow it will seem
So yesterday
So yesterday
I'm just a bird
Thats already flown away
Laugh it off
Let it go and
When you wake up it will seem
So yesterday
So yesterday
Haven't you heard that i'm gonna be ok

Metamorphosis


Ive been so wrapped up
In my warm cocoon
Something's happening
Things are changing soon

Im pushing the edge
Feeling it crack
And once i get out
There's no turning back

Watching the butterfly
Go towards the sun
I wonder what i will become

Metamorphosis
Whatever this is
Whatever im going through
Come on and give me a kiss
Come on, i insist
I'll be something new
A metamorphosis

Things are different now
When i walk by
You start to sweat
And you dont know why

It gets me nervous
But it makes me calm
To see life all around me
Moving on

Watching the butterfly
Go towards the sun
I wonder what i will become

Metamorphosis
Whatever this is
Whatever im going through
Come on and give me a kiss
Come on, i insist
I'll be something new
A metamorphosis

Metamorphosis
Whatever this is
Whatever im going through
Come on and give me a kiss
Come on i inisist
I feel something new
Metamorphosis

Spoken:
Everyday is a transformation
Everyday is a new sensation
Alteration
Modification
An incarnation
Celebration

Everyday is a new equation
Everyday is a revelation
Information
Anticipaction
On to another
Destination

Metamorphosis
Whatever this is
Whatever im going through
Come on and give me a kiss
Come on, i insist
I'll be something new
A metamorphosis

(repeat until end of song)

ROCK THIS WORLD


Everybody wants something
That seems to hard to get
So I sit here on a street in Venice
Waiting for the sun to set
Watching people living lives
Wondering what means?
Sometimes getting what you want
Is easier than it seems
I don't wanna save the day
I just wanna get my way

CHORUS
And rock this world
Read my lips and watch 'em curl
Rock this world
It don't take much to please this girl
I don't need the glitter
Don't believe the hype
You might say I'm the simple type
Just like any other girl
Who wants to rock this world

Everybody's going somewhere
So why don't you and I?
We're all part of the same parade
Just people passing by
And anything can happen
When the sun goes down like this
Maybe it's just a miracle
When you find some happiness
I don't wanna save the day
I just wanna get my way

REPEAT CHORUS

Hey can you hear me?
I want you to come near me
Can you feel the pull
It can be so beautiful

REPEAT CHORUS

"Break My Heart"


Someone always gets their hearts stomped to the ground
This is what I see every time I look around
I never thought that this would happen to me
I never thought I'd end up this way

And now that you're through with me
Don't know what to do with me
I guess I'm my own again
Like I'm some kind of enemy
Never a friend to me
Remember when you used to say
Things will always be this way

[Chorus]
Why don't you, break my heart
Watch me fall apart you see
I'm falling apart, look what you're doing to me

Now I'm trying to get my heart up off the ground
My confidence is gone
Happiness can not be found
So look what you did to me
You got the best of me
And now I'm stuck with all the rest
It will never be the same

Why don't you, break my heart
Watch me fall apart you see
I'm falling apart, look what you're doing to me

Break my heart
Watch me fall apart you see
I'm falling apart, look what you're doing to me

All I ever wanted
Has left me standing here alone
It started with you and ended with me

All I ever needed
I had it with you in my arms
It started with you and ended with me

Break my heart
Watch me fall apart you see
I'm falling apart, look what you're doing to me

Why don't you, break my heart
Watch me fall apart you see
I'm falling apart, look what you're doing to me

Why don't you, break my heart
Watch me fall apart you see
I'm falling apart, look what you're doing to me

Why don't you, break my heart
Break my heart
Break my heart
Break my heart
Break my heart
Break my heart
Break my heart

Fly


In a moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of your yesterday.

Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control

Fly, open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.

All your worries, leave them somewhere else,
Find a dream you can follow,
Reach for something, when there's nothing left,
And the world's feeling hollow.

Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control

Fly open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.

And when your down and feel alone,
And wanna run away,
Trust yourself and don't give up,
You know you better than anyone else,

In a moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of your yesterday,

Fly open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to fly,
Fly, Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.

In a moment, everything can change.

Whatever's comin' to me, I'll be ready for it all
Sometimes it ain't easy, sometimes its not polite
Some days I don't get it, some days I get it right

It's in my heart, it's in my head
Thats what i said

Hey Boys are you ready for the shock
I'm living prook, the girls can rock
Spread the new around every single block
Hey boys, the girl can rock

Standin' in the spotlight workin' up a sweat
Givin' all i got and lovin' what i get
I can't hold back what i feel inside
and if i make you nervous, you better stop aside

[Chorus]

The girl can rock
Don't say maybe or call me 'baby'

[Chorus 2x]

I'm gonna spread the news around the block
It ain't no shock...the girl can rock [3x]

Our Lips Are Sealed


[Haylie:]
Can you hear them?
They talk about us.

[Hilary:]
Telling lies
Well, that's no surprise.

[Haylie:]
Can you see them?
See right through them.

[Hilary:]
They have no shield
No Secrets to reveal.

[Chorus:]
[Both:]
It doesn't matter what they say.
In the jealous games people play.
Our Lips Are Sealed.

[Haylie:]
There's a weapon.
Which we must use.

[Hilary:]
In our defense
silence.

[Haylie:]
Spreading Rumors
So far from true.

[Hilary:]
Dragged up from the underworld.
Just like some precious pearl.

[Chorus:]
It doesn't matter what they say.
In the jealous games people play.
Our Lips Are Sealed.
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway.
Our Lips Are Sealed.

[Hilary:]
Hush my darlin'.

[Haylie:]
Don't you cry.

[Hilary:]
Cryin' angels.

[Haylie:]
Forget their lies.

[Haylie:]
Can you hear them?
They talk about us.

[Hilary:]
Telling lies
Well, that's no surprise.

[Haylie:]

See right through them.

They have no shield
No Secrets to reveal.

It doesn't madder anyway.
Our Lips are Sealed
Our Lips are Sealed
Our Lips are Sealed

Why Not


Think you're going nowhere
When you're walking down the street
Acting like you just don't care
When life could be so sweet

Why you wanna be like that
Cause if there's nothing new
You're not fooling no one
You're not even fooling you.

So walk a little slower
And open up your eyes
Sometimes it's so hard to see
The good things passing by

There might never be a sign
No flashing neon light
Telling you to make your move
When the time is right.

[Chorus]

Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose a moment
You might lose a lot
So why not
Why not

Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Take a crazy chance

You always dress in yellow
When you wanna dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what you're told
You keep waiting where you are
What you'll never know
Let's just get into your car
And go baby go

[Chorus]

Oh
I could be the one for you
Oh, yeah
Maybe yes, maybe no
Oh
It could be the thing to do
What I'm saying is
You gotta let me know

You'll never get to heaven
Or even to a lane
If you don't believe there's a way

Why not
Take a star from the sky
Why not
Spread your wings and fly
It might take a little
And it might take a lot
But why not
Why not

[Chorus]
