Here I stand head in hand,
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on,
Feelin' two-foot small.
Everywhere people stare,
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me,
And I hear them say.
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
Hey, you've got to hide your love away.
How could I even try,
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them,
In the state I'm in.
How could he say to me,
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns,
Let me hear you say.
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good, hey.
Feeling better now that we're through,
Feeling better 'cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar,
Now I see how you really are.
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good.
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good.
I broke a heart that's gentle and true,
Well, I broke a heart over someone like you
I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee,
I wouldn't blame him if he said to me
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good.
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good.
I'm telling you now baby and I'm going my way
Forget about you baby 'cause I'm leaving to stay
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good.
I'm gonna say it again
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
We could throw these sparks around all day
'Til this fire gets hotter
We can stand right here on the river bank
Dip our toes in the water
We can sit on this fence and test the wind
Walk on the edge of jumping in
If we hesitate a moment too long
Our chance could be gone
Why wait when we could fall right now?
It's love we've been dancing around
The kind of love people dream about
Hey, hey, why not cross over the line?
I'm yours, don't you wanna be mine?
Something this good doesn't come along everyday
Why wait?
We could keep these words on the tip of our tongue
Or come right out and say 'em
We can play these games, play hard to get
Baby time's a wastin'
I'd rather be in a long, slow kiss
Than having to hold my breath like this
It's a feeling I can't ignore
Can't hold it back anymore
Why wait when we could fall right now?
It's love we've been dancing around
The kind of love people dream about
Hey, hey, why not cross over the line?
I'm yours, don't you want to be mine?
Something this good doesn't come along everyday
Why wait?
For the magic moment when the stars align
Baby, there's never gonna be a more perfect time
Why wait?
Why wait when we could fall right now?
It's love we've been dancing around
The kind of love people dream about
Hey, hey, why not cross over the line?
I'm yours don't you want to be mine
Something this good doesn't come along everyday
Something this good doesn't come along everyday
Oh, my love, my darlin'
I hunger for your touch, your long, lonely touch
As time goes by so slowly that time can do so much
For you, still I now need your love, I need your love
God, speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea to the sea
To the open arm of the sea, yeah
Lonely riverside wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me
Oh, my love, my darlin'
I hunger, hunger for your touch, your long, lonely touch
That all time goes by so slowly that time can do so much
For you, still I now need your love, I need your love
Sometimes it's hard to be a women
Givin' all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times and he'll have good times
Doin' things if you don't understand
But, if you love him, please, forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him
Oh, be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And somethin' warm to come to
When the nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Kick him with all the love you can
Stand by your man
And if you love him
Oh, be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And somethin' warm to come to
When the nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Kick him with all the love you can
You don't need to talk French to make me giddy
You don't need to fly me off to some far-on city
You don't need pretty words just to turn my head
And you don't need to be a Casanova in bed
If you're gonna love me why don't you just do it
Come on, baby, put your heart into it
You don't need to pop out of a birthday cake
You don't need to bring me roses on rollerskates
Write my name in big letter across the sky
Well, you don't need to run for president to catch my eye
If you're gonna love me why don't you just do it
Come on, baby, put your heart into it
Oh, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink
Send a boy to college but can't make him think
Well, I've been feeling kinda lonely like a ship out on the ocean
I need to see a little more fashion emotion
You got my attention, baby, what's on your mind
You don't need all that fancy foot work behind
Well, I can see your cute and I know you're winnin'
Well, let's get down to the real niddy griddy
If you're gonna love me why don't you just do it
Come on, baby, put your heart into it
If you're gonna love me why don't you just do it
Don't have a retirement plan
Just a hundred acre piece of black dirt land
And a red tractor sittin' in the she'd
Startin' tomorrow they're callin' for rain
So, you're turnin' over that field today
There's a wide world out there
Waitin' to be fed
May the sun always
Shine down upon you
Let the rain fall
'Til you have all you need
It's God's job
To turn everything
Into what he wants it to be
But, God bless the ones
Who plant the seed
You don't mind livin' on a budget
You wouldn't teach school
If you didn't love it
You're there before seven
And stay long after five
In your class
The kids learn more then English
You work with them 'til they believe that
They can do anything
They want to with their lives
May the sun always
Shine down upon you
Let the rain fall
'Til you have all you need
It's God's job
To turn everything
Into what he wants it to be
But, God bless the ones
Who plant the seed
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Here's to everyone
Who unselfishly runs
Their race so we can dream
May the sun always
Shine down upon you
Let the rain fall
'Til you have all you need
It's God's job
To turn everything
Into what he wants it to be
But, God bless the ones
Perfect love
It's you I'm thinkin' of
When the mornin' breaks
When the evenin' takes the day
And I yearnin' for you grows
Longin' for your arms
To hold me close
I look into the sky
And every star I see
Reminds me of the perfect love
That burns in you and me
The sweetness of your kiss
The softness of your touch
I can't believe
I have found the perfect love
Perfect love
The autumn moon above
Paints the ocean bright
Calms the waves
And lights the night
I pray when this evenin' through
That you guide me save
Back home to you
I look into the sky
And every star I see
Reminds me of the perfect love
That burns in you and me
The sweetness of your kiss
The softness of your touch
I can't believe
I have found the perfect love
I close my eyes
And make a wish
That when
I open them you're in my arms again
Standing on the shore
Lost in loves and praise
My hearts commences
All my senses
Come to life and taste
The sweetness of your kiss
The softness of your touch
I can't believe
I have found the perfect love
I can't believe
People always say I have a laugh
Like my mother does
Guess that makes sense
She taught me how to smile when things get rough
I've got her spirit
And she's always got my back
When I look at her
I think I wanna be just like that
When I love, I give it all I got
Like my mother does
When I'm scared, I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does
When I feel weak and un-pretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because I see myself
Like my mother does
I've never met a stranger, I can talk to anyone
Like my mother does
I let my temper fly but she can walk away
When she's had enough
She sees everybody, for who they really are
I'm so thankful for her guidance
She's helped me get this far
When I love, I give it all I got
Like my mother does
And when I'm scared, I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does
When I feel weak and un-pretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because I see myself
Like my mother does
She's a rock, she is grace
She's an angel
She's my heart and soul
She does it all
When I love, I give it all I got
Like my mother does
And when I'm scared, I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does
When I feel weak and un-pretty
I know I'm beautiful and strong
Because I see myself
Like my mother does
I hear people saying
I'm starting to look
Verse 1:
My favorite addiction,
you're no good for me.
But all this attraction
makes it hard to see
the line
between what's right and what I wanna do.
So I gotta tell you
Chorus 1:
I'm gonna pack my bags
leave a lipstick letter,
take the first plane outta town.
I can't lie, I won't cry, I won't tell you goodbye,
and I won't turn around.
You're gonna be a sweet memory,
but you'll never be Mr. Right.
I'm gonna leave you baby.
Yeah someday I'll leave you baby.
Just not tonight.
Verse 2:
You're so beautiful.
You make me feel so free.
And I get so emotional
when your lips touch me.
I just can't breathe!
But deep inside I know this can't work out.
So any day now
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge:
'Cause I'm drownin' here in your eyes,
and baby it feels like paradise.
I know I need to leave you,
but I can't leave you.
I can't leave you now!
Chorus 2:
You're gonna be a sweet memory,
but you'll never be Mr. Right.
I'm gonna leave you baby.
Yeah someday I'll leave you baby.
Just not tonight.
Oh no
Not tonight.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When he asked me out for dinner
Did I say yes too fast?
Does this dress look to churchy?
Is this red lipstick too white-trash?
Should I just get a salad
Or go on and get a steak?
Will he think I'm too expensive
Or too worried 'bout my weight?
Sometimes I wish I could tell my brain to just shut up
Because I know the more I think
I think I think too much
Yeah, I think I think too much
Can I see this 'goin somewhere?
Is he the kind that can't commit?
Would my mom and daddy like him?
Would we make good looking kids?
Should I ask him in for a minute
Or just kiss him on the cheek?
Is he too sweet, too smart, will he break my heart?
Oh, what's wrong with me?
Sometimes I wish I could tell my brain to just shut up
Because I know the more I think
I think I think too much
Yeah, I think I think too much
Should I call him up in the morning
Or wait on him and take it slow?
Yeah, I think I really like him
But there's just one thing I know
I think too much, I think, I think so
Sometimes I wish I could tell my brain to just shut up
Because I know the more I think
I think I think too much
Sometimes I wish I could tell my brain to just shut up
Because I know the more I think
I think I think too much
Yeah, I think I think too much
Yeah, I think, I think
I think, I think, I think
My best friend, she found it
She said it came along when she least expected it
And she tells me it feels like, just like she imagined it
It sounds so good, just like it would if that were me
'Cause who wouldn't want stars shootin' in the night
Fireworks in your hands, a shower of meteorites
The moment you fall, I mean right when it hits
When love lays it's very first sweet touch right on your lips
Something that lights up the sky
Slows down time, that's what I
That's what I'm hoping to find
I'm doin' all right without it
Not spendin' my time tryin' to find it
And sometimes I let on like I don't need it
But I won't lie, it'd be nice to be in
'Cause who wouldn't want stars shootin' in the night
Fireworks in your hands, a shower of meteorites
The moment you fall, I mean right when it hits
When love lays it's very first sweet touch right on your lips
Something that lights up the sky
Slows down time, that's what I
That's what I'm hoping to find
'Cause who wouldn't want stars shootin' in the night
Fireworks in your hands, a shower of meteorites
The moment you fall, I mean right when it hits
When love lays it's very first sweet touch right on your lips
Something that lights up the sky
Slows down time, that's what I
That's what I'm hoping to find
Verse 1:
I've got money in my pocket.
I've got a map in my front seat.
Got a sweet kiss from my momma.
Her lipstick still on my cheek.
I got a good luck from my daddy,
and my sister's favorite dress.
Oh I miss 'em all already,
and it ain't even been 10 miles yet.
Chorus:
I know
this ain't goodbye forever.
I know
I can come back anytime I want to.
My dreams are callin'.
I know it's now or never.
All I gotta do is remember where my heart is
when I get
Homesick.
Verse 2:
I've got a 1-bedroom apartment,
a view of 16th avenue,
I got my grandpa's old guitar,
and in my head a picture of you. Yeah!
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
If these dreams
work out like I plan,
they're gonna take me far.
But no matter how far,
(Repeat Chorus)
Homesick
Homesick
You made alive out of this rodeo
I've made a living out of loving you
You say this ride is what you're living for
And there is nothing that will change your point of view
You're betting everything you have on ropes and dreams
You say your hands are tied there ain't no room for me
So hold your horses, baby, let me go
'Cause I can't wait for you to hold me anymore
I can't tie you down, you want to be free
So hold your horses if you can't hold me
You take your pride in buckles made of gold
You could be losing more than you could ever win
I've tried and tried, but you ain't there to hold
I've gave it up on you cause you ain't giving in
Just like your broken bones, your promises will break
Lord knows I love ya, boy, but it's all I can take
So hold your horses, baby, let me go
'Cause I can't wait for you to hold me anymore
I can't tie you down, you want to be free
So hold your horses if you can't hold me
So hold your horses, baby, let me go
'Cause I can't wait for you to hold me anymore
I can't tie you down, you want to be free
So hold your horses if you can't hold me
So hold your horses if you can't hold me
I wish you well, I wish you the best
And I hope you find, what you haven't yet
You had the charm, the brains, and the looks
Now all you need is a rabbit's foot
Good luck trying to find somebody better than me
Good love is hard to find, baby, can't you see
Good bye and leave thinking what you want to believe
Good luck trying to find somebody better than me
I hope on your search you don't get lost
And I want you to know that'll have my fingers crossed
You have the will and now you have the time
You better pick up every penny you find
Good luck trying to find somebody better than me
Good love is hard to find, baby, can't you see
Good bye and leave thinking what you want to believe
Good luck trying to find somebody better than me
You have the will and now you have the time
You better pick up every penny you find
Good luck trying to find somebody better than me
Good love is hard to find, baby, can't you see
Good bye and leave thinking what you want to believe
Good luck trying to find somebody better
Good luck trying to find someone better than me
Good love is hard to find, baby, can't you see
Good bye and leave thinking what you want to believe
Good luck trying to find somebody better than me
Good luck
Good luck trying to find someone better than me
Good luck, good luck
If tomorrow all the things were gone
I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again
With just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars
To be living here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
And they can't take that away
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up next to you
And defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
From the lakes of Minnesota
To the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas
From sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston
And New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart
And it's time we stand and say
That I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up next to you
And defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up next to you
And defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
Those days of love are gone
Our time is through
Still I burn on and on
All of my life,
Only for you.
From now,
Until forever and ever,
My darling, forever
You will always be the only one
You will always be the only one.
As long as I shall live,
I'll hold you dear
And I will reminisce,
Of our love all through the years.
From now,
Until forever and ever,
My darling, forever
You will always be the only one
You will always be the only one.
If you should ever need me,
Unfailingly, I will return to your arms,
And unburden your heart
And if you should remember,
That we belong together,
Never be ashamed,
Call my name
Tell me I'm the one you treasure.
Oh, forever and ever,
My darling, forever
You will always be the only one
You will always be the only one
Yeah, you will always be the only one,
Highway run,
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round,
On my mind
Restless hearts,
Sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love,
Along the wire.
And being apart,
Ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers met to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you
Oh, long you stand by me
I'm forever yours,
Faithfully, faithfully.
I'm still yours,
Ooh- I need your love babe,
Guess you know it's true
Hope you need my love babe,
Just like I need you
Hold me, love me, hold me, love me
Ain't got nothin' but love baby,
Eight days a week.
Love you ev'ry day boy,
Always on my mind
One thing I can say boy,
Love you all the time
Hold me, love me, hold me, love me
Ain't got nothin' but love baby,
Eight days a week.
Eight days a week,
I love you
Eight days a week,
Is not enough to show I care.
Eight days a week,
I love you
Eight days a week,
Is not enough to show I care.
Ooh- I need your love babe,
Guess you know it's true
Hope you need my love babe,
Just like I need you
Hold me, love me, hold me, love me
Ain't got nothin' but love baby,
Eight days a week,
Eight days a week,
Devoted
Consumed by your love
Devoted
A fool for your touch
I'm losing control of my heart and my soul
And it scares me, and it thrills me to know
I surrender, with every kiss
Can't remember, ever feeling like this
I don't have to be strong; I don't need to be free
I just want you, and I need you, to see
I'm devoted
All my senses are defenseless
My desire is relentless
Is it passion or obsession
Baby, you make me feel, so devoted
Whoooooah ooooh, yeah
You're the beat of my heart
You're the air that I breathe
You complete me, make it easy, to be, devoted
Helplessly, hopelessly, endlessly, openly, I'm so devoted
(Helplessly, hopelessly, endlessly, openly)
A fool for your touch
Devoted
(Helplessly, hopelessly, endlessly, openly)
I'm so devoted
(Helplessly, hopelessly, endlessly, openly)
A fool for your touch
Devoted, yeah
(Helplessly, hopelessly, endlessly, openly
Helplessly, hopelessly, endlessly, openly)
Back through the years,
I go wonderin' once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us,
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors,
And every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat,
And it was way down in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together,
Sewin' every piece with love
She made a coat of many colors,
That I was so proud of.
As she sewed, she told a story,
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors,
Joseph wore and then she said,
Perhaps this coat will bring you,
Good luck and happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it,
And momma blessed it with a kiss.
My coat of many colors,
That my momma made for me
Made only from rags,
But I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money,
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors,
My momma made for me.
So with patches on my britches,
And holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors,
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing,
And making fun of me
In my coat of many colors,
My momma made for me.
And oh I couldn't understand it,
For I felt that I was rich
And I told them of the love,
My momma sewed in every stitch
And I told 'em all the story,
Momma told me while she sewed,
And how my coat of many colors,
Was worth more than all their clothes.
But they didn't understand it,
And I tried to make them see,
That one is only poor,
Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money,
But I was rich as I could be,
In my coat of many colors,
My momma made for me
Stand up, shut up, gonna shake the dust off
Get back up on that horse again
Rediscover words like lover
First things first gettin' rid of him
I'm gonna paint my bedroom
I might even paint the town
This time I'm gonna make a clean break
This time I'm gonna start with a clean slate
My bounce back, beating, all time healing
Hearts gonna be okay
'Cause it's a clean break
It's a clean break
This place, no trace, I'm gonna erase
Everything that has to do
His touch, his love, anything I think of
That keeps me from something new
I'm gonna take his memory
I'm gonna burn it down
This time I'm gonna make a clean break
This time I'm gonna start with a clean slate
My bounce back, beating, all time healing
Hearts gonna be okay
'Cause it's a clean break
It's a clean break
Clean break
I'm breakin' all down
Break it right down the middle
Then you break it way out
Break it hard, break it fast
Don't break it slow
Hit him with a clean break then you go
This time I'm gonna make a clean break
This time I'm gonna start with a clean slate
My bounce back, beating, all time healing
Hearts gonna be okay
Oh, 'cause it's a clean break
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Tears fill my eyes 'til I can't see
Three o'clock in the mornin'
Here am I
Sittin' here so lonely
So what's my good cry
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me
Now that it's over
I realize
Those weak words you whisper
Were nothin' but lies
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me
Take my time, I'm gonna make you mine
Make you believe again, in me again
I know I can, if it's the last thing I do
Missed my chance
We were the best of friends
Don't know how I ever convinced myself
That I could live with out you
Oh, just let me fall, please let me fall
Right back into your arms
It's not too late we can have it all
If I could get back the love that we lost
I would make it all up to you, baby believe
Just give me one night together and I'll make it better
Do it right this time, baby, you'll see
You're all that I want, all that I need, baby believe
I can't find one single reason why
You'd put your trust in me and faithfully
Come back to me after I let you go
But let me try, please let me try
Believe in me one more time 'cause, boy, this time
I'll prove to you that I'm the one
Who will get back the love that we lost
I would make it all up to you, baby, believe
Just give me one night together and I'll make it better
Do it right this time, baby, you'll see
You're all that I want, all that I need, baby, believe
There's nothin' I wouldn't do
And I'll spend my whole life proving to you
Yeah, oh, baby
Just give me one night together and I'll make it better
Do it right this time, baby, you'll see
You're all that I want, all that I need, baby, believe
You can spend your whole life buildin',
Somethin' from nothin'
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway.
You can chase a dream,
That seems so out of reach,
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway.
God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway,
I do it anyway.
This world's gone crazy,
It's hard to believe,
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway.
You can love someone with all your heart,
For all the right reasons,
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway.
God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway,
I do it anyway.
You can pour your soul out singing,
A song you believe in,
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway,
Yeah, sing it anyway
I sing, I dream, I love,
Yeah, this song is about you
I'm giving you more than fair warnin' right now on your radio
Everybody's gonna hear all the things that you did
That you don't want the world to know
I'm spillin' the beans, I'm shouttin' it out
Yeah, you're gonna be sorry now
Every single lie you told, I'm tellin'
Every promise that you broke, I'm rattin' you out
Every girl in the world's gonna know your name
And I hope you enjoy your 15 minutes of shame
Hey, you're lookin' nervous
Now that your double talkin' has caught back up with you
Stick to your alibi
Don't try to deny it when I reveal the truth
Sure you're pretty good at workin' a line
But it's all just a matter of time
Every single lie you told, I'm tellin'
Every promise that you broke, I'm rattin' you out
Every girl in the world's gonna know your name
And I hope you enjoy your 15 minutes of
Shame, shame, shame on you
Look who's lookin' like a fool now
Blame, blame, blame yourself
Won't be foolin' no one else anymore
Every single lie you told, I'm tellin'
Every promise that you broke, I'm rattin' you out
Every girl in the world's gonna know your name, Jason
And I hope you enjoy your 15 minutes of shame
Your 15 minutes of shame, shame, shame
Rescue me!
Take me in your arms!
Rescue me!
I want your tender charms!
'Cause I'm lonely
And I'm blue!
I need you
And your love too,
C'mon and rescue me
Come on, baby, and rescue me
Come on, baby, and rescue me
'Cause I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Rescue me
Come on and take my heart
Take my love and conquer every part
'Cause I'm lonely
And I'm blue
I need you
And your love too
Come on and rescue me
(Come on baby)
Take me baby (take me baby)
Hold me baby (hold me baby)
Love me baby (love me baby)
Can't you see I need you baby
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Rescue me
Come on and take my hand
C'mon, baby and be my man
'Cause I love you
'Cause I want you
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Mmm-hmm (mmm-hmm)
Mmm-hmm (mmm-hmm)
Take me baby (take me baby)
Love me baby (love me baby)
Need me baby (need me baby)
Mmm-hmm (mmm-hmm)
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Oooh!
