[Verse 1: Brian]
How come I was the last to know?
Took the stage then you stole the show
Another unsuspecting Sunday afternoon
I was captured by that stare
Now I'm shattered but I don't care
And the people walking by don't have a clue

[Chorus: Brian with AJ]
That I kissed your face
Till the sun was in our eyes
Till the afternoon arrived
And I can't explain
Last night I saw the fireworks
The kind of pain that never hurts
The one you hate to love is made for you
Another unsuspecting Sunday afternoon

[Verse 2: Nick]
Monday is a funny thing
Still waiting for the phone to ring
Will my imagination take it slow?
Oh-yeah, after Saturday, my life is changed
In a moment it was rearranged
Strange how easy it is letting go

[Chorus: Nick with AJ, Nick with Brian]
And I miss your face
Like the sun was in my eyes
And now I am running blind
And I can't explain
Last night I saw the fireworks
The kind of pain that never hurts
The one you hate to love is made for you
Another unsuspecting Sunday afternoon

[Interlude: All & AJ]
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Oh-oh, oh-yeah)

[Bridge: Brian with Nick]
This sweet relief, unexpected things
Is this the end or only the beginning?

[Chorus: All, Howie, (Nick) & Brian]
I miss your face
Like the sun was in my eyes (like the afternoon)
And now I'm running blind (running blind)
I can't explain (can't explain)

[Outro: AJ]
Last night I saw the fireworks
The kind of pain that never hurts
The one you hate to love that's made for you
Another unsuspecting Sunday afternoon
Another unsuspecting Sunday afternoon

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.
