"Lady Grinning Soul" is a ballad written by English musician David Bowie, released on the album Aladdin Sane in 1973. It was a last-minute addition, replacing the "sax version" of "John, I'm Only Dancing" as the closing track. The composer's first meeting with American soul singer Claudia Lennear in 1972 is often cited as the inspiration for the song. In 2016, after Bowie's death, an interview with Lennear revealed that Bowie called her in 2014, and told her the song had been written about her. Read more on Last.fm.

[Verse 1: Brian]
Who are you now?
Are you still the same or
Did you change somehow?
What do you do at this very moment
When I think of you
And when I'm looking back
How we were young and stupid
Do you remember that?

[Pre-Chorus 1: Nick]
No matter how I fight it, can't deny it
Just can't let you go

[Chorus: All]
I still need you, I still care about you
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you

[Verse 2: AJ, Howie with AJ, Howie]
Now look at me
Instead of moving on I refuse to see
That I keep coming back
Yeah, I'm stuck in a moment
That wasn't meant to last (to last!)

[Pre-Chorus 2: Nick with AJ & Howie]
I try to fight it, can't deny it
You don't even know

[Chorus: All, Brian & AJ]
That I still need you, I still care about you
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel (feel you) like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you (no, no!)

[Bridge: Kevin with AJ, Kevin & All]
I wish I could find you
Just like you found me
Then I would never let you go, oh-oh-oh!
(Me go, I care about you)

[Chorus: All, Nick & Brian]
Though everything's been said and done (yeah!)
I still feel you (I still feel ya)
Like I'm right beside you (like I'm right here beside you)
But still no (still no word) word from you

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
