Wishing you would diet
Or give your fat away, come on
Original Lyrics:
Looking at the crowd

Funny Lyrics:

"Larger Than Life"
The Funny Lyrics:
Wishing I can thank you in a different way
Why They're Funny:
Apparently Brian Literral wrote this song as a thank-you to the fans. Is it just me or does this line sound rather and disturbingly sinister...?
Submitted by: Devil Jones
"As Long As You Love Me"
The Funny Lyrics:
I try to hide it so that no-one knows
But I guess it shows when you look into my eyes
Why They're Funny:
Now is it me or is there some strange innuendo going on here? Here's a tip, Brian - wear tighter underwear ;).

Repetitive Lyrics:

"I want It That Way"
The Repetitive Lyrics:
I want it that way
Why They're Repetitive:
They say it eight times in the song
Submitted by: Daniel L
"As Long As You Love Me"
The Repetitive Lyrics:
as long as you love me
Why They're Repetitive:
all. they. say. is. 'as long as you love me'. it just goes on and on and on and goes on for 3 minutes.
Submitted by: skyee
There are additional repetitive lyrics available.

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Why They're Nonsensical:
Does any part of this song make sense to anyone? I think this song was an attempt for the Backstreet Boys to make themselves sound eloquent, but the song is just thrown together with some cool sounding phrases. Apparently this chick is very willing to show them the meaning of being lonely. He's the one still hung up on her.
Submitted by: Barbara
"Loose It All"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Cause knowing you are
outside breathing is so wonderful
Why They're Nonsensical:
Okay I appreciate being able to breathe too.

Insincere Lyrics:

"Everybody (Backstreet's Back)"
The Insincere Lyrics:
Am I original? (yeah yeah)
Am I the only one? (yeah yeah)
Am I sexual? (yeah yeah)
Why They're Insincere:
ok, first of all, the backstreet boys suck! And, this doesn't make any sense at all! Am I original? no. New Kids on the Block were the first boy band! Am I the only one? no. hellooo, ever heard of N'sync???? Am I sexual? no! Their fans are pre teens, and here they are saying they're sexual?! Thats just wrong.
Submitted by: Sabrina
"Get Another Boyfriend"
The Insincere Lyrics:
He's just another playa
Playing in the name of love.
Why They're Insincere:
I don't know guys? You seem to be playing just as hard as the girl in this song is.
Submitted by: Celeste
There are additional insincere lyrics available.

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"Siberia"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
And my heart did time in Siberia
cause it's all so dark and mysterious
Why They're Misrhymed:
It's original, but it's amazing how you can manage to change pronunciation to make a rhyme kind of work
Submitted by: supernixi
"I Want It That Way"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Tell me why, ain't nothing but a heartache
Tell me why, ain't nothing but a mistake
Why They're Misrhymed:
The accent on 'mistake' is shifted to the first syllable, when it should be pronounced 'mis-take', not 'mis-take'. It may rhyme, but there's no ***flow*** to it! A very smooth song otherwise. Too bad they had to put it in the chorus, where it gets repeated over and over :P
Submitted by: mikey boy
There are additional misrhymed lyrics available.

Insulting Lyrics:

"Helpless When She Smiles"
The Insulting Lyrics:
I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
Why They're Insulting:
Oh yeah guys! That's really romantic to say that you're a house of cards in a hurricane.

Inappropriate Lyrics:

"Poster Girl"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
Get in elevators, press emergency stop
And make love on the floor 'til the camera made us
Why They're Inappropriate:
sounds like a Paris Hilton sex video.. starring Nick Carter
Submitted by: Chodes
"My Beautiful Woman"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
And so I put the top down,
driving you through downtown,
I guess we'll just what to do.
We've been looking to fool around.
It's too late to stop me.
I know you wanna get down.
Why They're Inappropriate:
What's a verse like this doing on a supposedly 'family' oriented album? It's so uncool to fool around on your wife/husband/boy/girlfriend.
Submitted by: Celeste
There are additional inappropriate lyrics available.

Dirty Lyrics:

"Siberia"
The Dirty Lyrics:
Put away completely,
you just couldn't see me,
I was sleeping in your bed.
Someone else was on your mind..
in your head.
Why They're Dirty:
This was another one of those 'make you think' lyrics. Forget about Never Gone being a more 'mature' album. I think that's just their way of saying that most of the songs on this album are filthy as hell.
Submitted by: Celeste
"My Beautiful Woman"
The Dirty Lyrics:
And so I put the top down
to take you driving downtown
I guess we'll know just what to do.
When we're lookin to fool around
it's too late to stop me.
I know we're gonna get down.
Why They're Dirty:
I was singing this song in my bedroom and I started to laugh. My mother said what? I pointed to my CD player and I sang the lyric to her. Then she asked me if I knew what the lyric meant? I said 'it's a song about cheating.' My mother said 'you'd better find out what that means?'?

How your love's affecting our reality
Everytime we're down you can make
it right and that makes you larger than life
Comments:
This is supposed to be a really big "thank you" to the fans. However this lyric makes you think that it's really about how being loved by billions of adoring female fans affects the guys more than they thought.

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):

"Backing Out Of Their Management Contracts"
The Backstreet Boys were taken under the tutalage of Louis Pearlman who was boy band swengali and the band's creator when they suddenly realized that they were making more money than they getting The Boys ended up suing Trans-Continental Entertainment to get out of their management deal with Pearlman. After a full year of legal wrangling they were let out of their management deal with Trans-Con and were free to sign on to Wright Entertainment Group to handle their money. The group alledged that Pearlman took more money than he was entitled to.
