Life is sweet - and getting even sweeter - for the pop world's favorite girl-next-door. Sure, Hilary Duff starred in a monstrously huge TV show but that's, like, so yesterday 'cause Hilary's exercising her right to change her mind and act her age.

No more trying to fit a circle into a square. With her first real pop-rock album, metamorphis, and the #1 single 'So Yesterday', Hilary is finally free to be who she wants to be.

 A triple-threat talent, Hilary has become a music, film and television phenomenon thanks to an unbroken string of hits that began with her starring role in the Disney Channel Original Series Lizzie McGuire, the record-breaking #1 show in its timeslot.

 Hilary Duff made her singing debut on that hit sit-com, lending her fresh vocals and sunny style to "I Can’t Wait" from the RIAA-certified platinum Lizzie McGuire Television Soundtrack.

 In her motion picture debut, Hilary co-starred with Frankie Muniz in this summer's action-adventure hit Agent Cody Banks.

 Next came singing and starring roles in The Lizzie McGuire Movie, in which Hilary played -prophetically enough - an American tourist mistaken for a huge singing star. MTV also hosted a prestigious premiere for the 'So Yesterday' music video on its July 21 presentations of Making

The Video and TRL All-Star Backyard BBQ and featured Hilary in MTV Diary. Duff recently was a presenter at both the MTV Video Music Awards and the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, where she accepted the trophy for "Favorite TV Show" on behalf of Lizzie McGuire. And although there’s not one molecule of space left for another top award her shelf,

'So Yesterday' has become the #1 most-streamed video on AOL."I’ve always sung, ever since I could talk," says Hilary Duff. "At home, at school, in the choir, everywhere.

But about two years ago I decided to be a real singer, and started working with really cool singers, musicians and songwriters. Best of all, I started working in the studio, experimenting and putting material together. I’ve really fallen in love with the studio. I just know that a lot of my fans relate to the album.

"What kind of music can fans expect from Hilary on 'Metamorphosis'?

A chameleon-like variety of changing moods, from the romantic ballad "Where Did I Go Right?" to the ultimate break up song, "So Yesterday." From the tough-talkin' "Party Up" to the hard rockin' "Little Voice."

lyrics

fly

In a moment
Everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulders
For a minute
All the world can wait
Let go of your yesterday

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

(chorus)
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 its your time
Time to fly

All your worries
leave them somewhere else
Find the dream you can follow
reach for something
When theres nothing left
And the world is feeling hollow

can ya hear it calling?
Can ya feel it in yourself?
Can ya trust this longing?
And take control

(chorus)
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 its your time
Time to fly

And when you're down
and feel alone
Just 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 shoulders
For a minute
all the world can wait
Let go of yesterday

Fly
Open of the part of you
That wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons
Why you can't in life(can't in life)
and start to try (start to try)
Fly
Forget about the resons
why you can't in life (can't in light)
and start to try (start to try)
Its your time
time to fly

In a moment
everything can change

do you want me

I cry like a baby when I don't get my way
Do you want me?
I won't apologize when I make a mistake
Do you want me?
I got scars on my heart and they won't go away
Looking for someone to take them from me
Everybody knows I'm a little insane
Do you want me?

Oh I try to be normal
I try to put one foot in front of the other
And I feel
You don't even know I'm alive
I open my mouth cause I'm waiting for your love to fall from the sky
And I feel
You think that I'm out of my mind
And maybe your scared to be right
But you'll never know till you get me alone

Do you want me?
I tell it to you straight so we can't get worse
Do you want me?
I want to show you me but first things first
Do you want me?
Looking for a saviour to save my soul
All the damage I have done has left a big hole
Everybody knows I just want someone to hold
Do you want me?

Oh I try to be easy
I try to put one foot in back of the other
And I feel
You don't even know i'm alive
I open my mouth cause I'm waiting for your love to fall from the sky
And I feel
You think that I'm out of my mind
And maybe your scared to be right
But you'll never know till you get me alone

You're looking at me strange like you don't know my name (my name)
You're looking at me strange like you don't know my name
You're looking at me strange like it's some kind of phase
You're looking at me strange like you want me to change

And I feel
You don't even know I'm alive
I open my mouth cause I'm waiting for your love to fall from the sky
And I feel
You think that I'm out of my mind
And maybe your scared to be right
But you'll never know till you get me alone

Do you
Do you
Do you want me?
Do you
Do you
Do you want me?
You'll never know till you get me alone

Do you
Do you
Do you want me? [x3]

weird

I like the way you never sleep
And the promises you never keep
I like the way you say hello
And make it sound like time to go

I like the scar above your lip
The way you let your feelings slip
But they're never what you feel
Oh so fake but so completly real

Dont you think its weird
Weirder then weird
That's what you are
That's what you want to be
What I like about you
Is what you like about me
Dont you think its weird

You like the rules that don't apply
And let the good things
Pass you by
Standing here without a plan
That's why your such a happy man

Dont you think its weird
Weirder then weird
That's what you are
That's what you want to be
What I like about you
Is what you like about me
Dont you think its 1,2

I wanna make some changes
I want my money back
I wanna start up again
I wanna talk to strangers
I wanna be with you
But I just dont know
Where or When

That's what you are
That's what you want to be
What I like about you
Is what you like about me
Dont you think its weird
Weirder then weird
That's what you are
That's what you want to be
What I like about you
Is what you like about me
Dont you think its weird

hide away

Hiding Away
Losin' the day
As if it doesn't really matter
Saying Goodbye
Scared to say why
Afraid it will shatter our world
Show me some faith now
Trust me somehow

Why are we keepin' our secret
Why are we hiding ourselves away
Anyway we can hide away
I dont wanna fake it
I wanna make you believe, what I say
I wont let you...hide away

Where do we go
How do we know
What we're ever really after
Sometimes it's clear
When you are here
Nothing can shatter our world
I need some faith now
To trust you somehow

Why are we keepin' our secret
Why are we hiding ourselves away
Anyway we can hide away
I dont wanna fake it
I wanna make you believe what I say
I wont let you...hide away

Maybe i, maybe i, maybe i'm losin'
Maybe i, maybe i, maybe i'm OK
Turn around, look around, go around in circles
Dont run away, drift away, dont hide away

Why are we keepin' our secret
Why are we hiding ourselves away
Anyway you can, hide away
I dont wanna fake it
I wanna make you believe what I say
Ohh but i cant
Believe what i said
I wont let you hide away, hide away

Hiding away, losin' my day
As if it doesn't really matter

mr james dean

All the king's horses
Wouldn't make me believe
Even when the walls come crashing down
You still can never be
A rebel without a cause
A rebel to the first degree
Why don't you stop trying so hard?
Cause there's no men, man enough to be

Another James Dean
You're nothing like him
So don't call me friend
Cause you're nothing like me
Even when the world stop turning
There will never be another James Dean
You'll never be James Dean

All the faces you're making
Save it for the scene
All the people you're faking
Why was it only me?
Who saw right into your eyes
And you're just not so deep
I've had too many cries
Mr. Prince Charming
Sorry, you could never be

Cause you're nothing like him
So don't call me friend
Cause you're nothing like me
Even when the world stop turning, the world stops turning
Now you move to the move to the next town
Next set, next girl, have fun baby
I'm taking back my world

Here we are face to face
Same energy, you and me
Don't wanna be enemies [x5]

underneath this smile

What I'm standing on is sinking in
And I don't have a clue how to get off of it
But when I look at you there is hope
It's like you see the sadness in my eyes
You read the blue between the lines
You could be the one to hold me when I wanna cry

Underneath this smile
My world is slowly caving in
All the while
I'm hanging on
Cause that is all I know
Could you be the one to save me from every bad habit that has helped me dig this hole?
I've been hiding out for miles
Underneath this smile

I have walked this earth with broken bones
I've been keeping secrets under all these lights
But when you're around my defenses go
You don't let me run away from you
You don't let me twist and turn the truth
It feels as if I'm naked when you're standing in the room

Underneath this smile
My world is slowly caving in
All the while
I'm hanging on instead of letting go
Could you be the one to save me from every bad habit that has helped me dig this hole?
I've been hiding out for miles
Underneath this smile
Underneath this smile
Oh, yeah

Underneath this smile
My world is slowly caving in
All the while
I'm hanging on instead of letting go
Could you be the one to save me from every bad habit that has helped me dig this hole?
Underneath this smile
Could you be the one to save me from every bad habit that has helped me dig this hole?
I've been hiding out for miles
Underneath this
Underneath this
Underneath this smile
What I'm standing on is sinking

dangerous to know
 

Some secrets need to be kept
Some stories should never be told
Some reasons shouldn't be understood
They just might turn your blood cold

Who needs all the answers?
Who takes all the chances?
Who said the truth's gonna save you?
When the truth can be dangerous

Like the way I feel
It's all right to steal
What I need from you
Do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
Go where I have to go
And that's dangerous
Dangerous to know

I was a law onto myself
When you found me out on my own
Together nothing was sacred
Together we where alone

Who needs all the questions?
Who lost their direction?
Who said a lie's gonna break you?
When a lie could be dangerous

Like the way I feel
It's all right to steal
What I need from you
Do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
Go where I have to go
And that's dangerous
Dangerous to know

Ignorance is bliss
You're safe when you resist
There's no safety in a kiss like this
It's dangerous
So kiss me
Kiss me

Like the way I feel
It's all right to steal
What I need from
Do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
Go where I have to go
And that's dangerous
Dangerous
Like the way I feel
It's all right to steal
What I need from
Do what I have to do
Say what I have to say
Go where I have to go
And that's dangerous
Dangerous to know

Some secrets need to be kept

who's that girl

There were places we would go at midnight
There were secrets that nobody else would know
There's a reason but I don't know why
I don't know why8I don't know why
I thought they all belonged to me

Who's that girl?
Where's she from?
No she can't be the one
That you want
That has stolen my world
It's not real, it's not right
It's my day, it's my night
By the way
Who's that girl living my life?
Oh no, living my life

Seems like everything's the same around me
When I look again and everything has changed
I'm not dreaming so I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
She's everywhere I wanna be

Who's that girl?
Where's she from?
No she can't be the one
That you want
That has stolen my world
It's not real, it's not right
It's my day, it's my night
By the way
Who's that girl living my life?

I'm the one who made you laugh
Who made you feel
And made you sad
I'm not sorry
For what we did
For who we were
I'm not sorry
I'm not her

Who's that girl?
Where's she from?
No she can't be the one
That you want
That has stolen my world
It's not real, it's not right
It's my day, it's my night
By the way
Who's that girl living my life?
Oh no, living my life

shine

Everyone knows that I'm ten feet under
Till you come along and brighten my day
Everyone knows that you kill the thunder
The roaring in my brain
You've given me the strength
To see right through the haze

Shine, come on and let it shine
Light me up, make me feel alive
You've got what it takes
Shine, and only you know how to lift my spirit off the ground
And chase those clouds away
Shine on me today

When everything's wrong
I just pick the phone up
The sound in your voice well it fills my eyes with tears of joy
Cause I know you'll be there
When I'm hanging by a thread
You're my heaven sent

Shine, come on and let it shine
Light me up, make me feel alive
You've got what it takes
Shine, and only you know how to lift my spirit off the ground
And chase those clouds away

Oh you have this way of making me feel like I can fly
You're underneath my wings
So I'll free fall out of the sky
You're always there to save me
You know you'll save me

Shine, come on and let it shine
Light me up, make me feel alive
You've got what it takes
Shine, and only you know how to lift my spirit off the ground
And chase those clouds away
Come on and shine
Shine
Shine on me
Shine on me
Shine on me
Shine on me today

Everyone knows that I'm ten feet under
Till you come along and brighten my world

i'am

I'm an angel, I'm a devil
I am sometimes in between
I'm as bad it can get
And good as it can be
Sometimes I'm a million colors
Sometimes I'm black and white
I am all extremes
Try figure me out you never can
There's so many things I am

I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am

I'm someone filled with self-belief
And haunted by self-doubt
I've got all the answers
I've got nothing figured out
I like to be by myself
I hate to be alone
I'm up and I am down
But that's part of the thrill
Part of the plan
Part of all of the things I am

I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am

I'm a million contradictions
Sometimes I make no sense
Sometimes I'm perfect
Sometimes I'm a mess
Sometimes I'm not sure who I am

I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am

I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
Of all the things I am
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
Of all the things I am

the getaway

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
Giving mixed signals and signs
It's so hard to let you in
Thinking you might slam the brakes again

Put the pedal 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 tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away

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

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

Put the pedal 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 tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away
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

Put the pedal down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway (a getaway)
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take (I can take)
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away

haters

Dont spit on me and shame yourself
Because you wish you were someone else
You look so clean but you spread your dirt
As if think that words dont hurt
You build up walls no one can climb
The things you do should be a crime
You're queen of superficiality
Keep your lies out of my reality
And when you're nice it's just a pose
You're one of those

[Chorus]
Haters
Traitors to the human race
Haters
What a drag
What a waste
I'd like to see them disappear
They dont belong anywhere
Haters

Spinning a web thats hard to see
Of envy, greed and jealousy
Feeling angry but you don't know why
Why dont you look me in the eye?
You want my friends
You want my clothes
You're one of those

[Repeat Chorus]

Different life form
Different species
Broken promises and treaties
Talkin' bout exterminating
Not the haters
Just the hating
You say your boyfriend's sweet and kind
But you've still got your eyes on mine
Your best friend's got her eyes on yours
It all goes on behind closed doors
And when you're nice it's just a pose
You're one of those

[Repeat Chorus]

Haters
Later for the alibis
Haters
Any shape
Any size
I'd like to see them disappear
They dont belong anywhere
Haters

rock this world

Everybody wants somethin
That seems to hard to get
So i sit here on a street in Venice
Waitin for the sun to set
Watching people live their lives
Wonderin what it means
Sometimes getting what you want
Is easier than it seems
I dont want to save the day
I just want to get my way

[Chorus]
And rock this world
Read my lips and watch 'em curl
Rock this world
It dont take much to please this girl
I dont need the glitter
Dont believe the hype
You might say im the simple type
Just like any other girl
Who wants to rock this world

Everybody's goin somewhere
So why not you and I?
We're all part of the same parade
Just people passin' by
And anything can happen
When the sun goes down like this
Maybe its just a miracle
When you find some happiness
I dont want to save the day
I just want to get my way

[Repeat Chorus]

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

[Repeat Chorus]

jericho

Hop on a fast train out of town
Downside up and Upside down
Going fast is going slow
What could have been we'll never know
In this place that has no name
I can't remember why I came
Then I hear you whisper low
One more mile to Jericho
Nothing is ever what it seems
When you live inside your dreams

[Chorus:]
The walls will tumble
the walls will tumble
But Im not gonna cry
My heart wont crumble
My heart wont crumble
If we ever say goodbye

Everybody gets the joke
Where's the fire?
Where's the smoke?
Money, love and jealousy
Something's got a hold on me
But I will follow where you go
One more mile to Jericho

[Repeat Chorus]

One more mile
One more kiss
One more word
One more wish
And love will save us
This I know
From this place called Jericho

[Repeat Chorus]

someone's watching over me

Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is just you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I wont be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
Took this moment to my dreams

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That someone's watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me

Someone's watching over me

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 a dance floor
Give me a DJ
Play me a record
Forget what they say
Cause I need to go
Need to getaway tonight

I put my makeup on a Saturday night
I try to make it happen try to make it all right
I know I make mistakes
I’ve made a lot these days
It’s never real easy
But it’s ok

Wake up, wake up
On a Saturday night
Could be New York
Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris
Maybe Tokyo
There’s something going on anywhere I go tonight
Tonight, yeah tonight

The city’s restless
It’s all around me
People in motion
And sick of all the same routines
And they need to go
They need to getaway tonight

I put my makeup on a Saturday night
I try to make it happen try to make it all right
I know I make mistakes
I’ve made a lot these days
It’s never real easy
But it’s ok

Wake up, wake up
On a Saturday night
Could be New York
Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris
Maybe Tokyo
There’s something going on anywhere I go tonight
Tonight, yeah tonight

People all around me
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 now
(They don’t really know you
They don’t really know you)
And forever
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up

Wake up, wake up
On a Saturday night
Could be New York
