2 Ain’t That the Way
(rumba española mix)
Words and music by Adam Lopez.
Arranged by Adam Lopez.
I wrote this song for my independently
released album, Showstopper. Although it
originally had a funky pop feel, I really
enjoyed arranging and singing it in a
Spanish Rumba style.
Ain’t that the way
Ain’t that the way love’s supposed to be
Guess that’s the way
Expect to lose what you got to give
Ain’t that the way
Ain’t that the way love’s supposed to be
Guess that’s the way
Release the soul you stole from me
So you arrive unannounced
Expecting me to jump and pounce
In your presence, in your dreams
To make your vision, so it seems
How could you ever lead me so
Trade in my heart for someone’s gold
Baby it’s time you set me free
Ain’t it the way love’s supposed to be
Chorus

It’s not a case of sink or swim
It’s not a game for you to win
No apology will do
There ain’t no me, there ain’t no you
Chorus
There ain’t no point in crying
Inside I feel like dying
All emotion dead and gone
I got no strength to carry on
Pardon me for cutting in
I hate to bring it to you
Because your escapade of fun
You’ve lost my love, what’s done is done
Chorus
3 Gotta Get It
(tango mix)
Words and music by Adam Lopez.
Arranged by Adam Lopez.
Gotta Get It had a slight Pop/Latin feel to it
on Showstopper. For this version I pushed the
arrangement a little further south by giving
it a slight Tango/Samba groove.
Gotta get it, gotta get it
Gotta get it now, gotta get it
Anyway, anyhow, anywhere you want
Anytime, at any place, anything you want
We gotta go from here, gotta face the fear
Take a chance right now, the time is near
You know that I want you baby
You know that I need you darling
It’s only natural honey
You know you want it now
Chorus
I feel like running deep inside
I try to run but I cannot hide
One look at you I can’t explain
I can’t let you go
Sometimes in your life you gotta make a move
Sometimes you gotta do for yourself to prove
Where you go, what you do, who you’re talking to
Be aware at times there’s a chance you’ll lose
Chorus
To keep surviving through the seas
Of eternal waves
Just keep on fighting till you succeed
So break the chains surrounding thee
Gotta get it, gotta get it now
Chorus

4 Ven, devórame otra vez
Words and music by Palmer Hernández.
Arranged by Adam Lopez.
When I used to go to the Spanish Club as a
child there’d be Latin music videos playing on
a huge projector screen. There was this one
song in particular. I thought to myself, when I
grow up, I’m going to learn that song and
record it on a vinyl record. So here I am! Well,
apart from the vinyl record thing…
5 Baila Baila
Words and music by Adam Lopez.
Arranged by Adam Lopez.
This one was written about a year after
Till the End of Time. I’d made various demo
versions of this song – some dance club
versions and also a couple in more traditional
Latin styles. For this album, I decided to try to
do a mixture of both while still staying true to
the album’s overall feel.
I wanna dance the night away
I wanna dance the night away
