Id been sleeping way to long
Searched for the answers but,
Couldnt find one
Thought i had it under control
Yeah i was dying and i didnt even know
I needed something
You showed me how to love again
How to love again
When i had nothing
You showed me how to love again
How to love again
No more crying no more fear
Ive found a way out after all of these years
No mistaking, ive been changed
Now and forever ill never be the same
Because when i had nothing
You showed me how to love again
How to love again
I needed something
You showed me how to love again
How to love again
Dont wanna go back
Dont wanna go through that misery
I love where im at
Wherever you are i want to be

I have been to Memphis but I couldn't find no peace
My soul is feeling restless and I need some relief
I'm heading for the Delta, see what I can find
I know the river holds the answers that'll ease my worried mind
Take me down to the levee where the women sing
Lay me down like an angel with a broken wing
Take me down to the levee where the river flows
Gon' throw my blues off the levee and let them go
Well, I have been to Natchez, been down to Baton Rouge
But the Delta keeps on callin' me no matter what I do
Chorus
Solo
I'm drivin' through the darkness, down Highway 61

Well I laid down last night
too tired to wake
I had a chill this mornin'
too tired to shake
I got a good poker hand
too tired to win
I can hear my baby callin'
too tired to let her in
Well I'm tired
Yes I'm tired babe
Too tired now
Too tired for anything
Too tired to walk
too tired to run
I can hear my baby knockin'
too tired
too tired
too tired babe
Yes I'm tired
too tired now
too tired for anything
Break it down now
Solo
Too tired of prosperity
too tired o' luck
I'm sittin' on a pin
I'm too tired to get up
Well I'm tired
Yes I'm tired babe
too tired now
too tired for anything
I'm tired babe
Solo

Clouds, one by one, fill the sky
Just like these tears that fill my eyes
I know by now she ain't comin' back
I watch my world slowly fade into black
Look out my window it's still rainin'
Look out my window it's still rainin'
They say that time heals everything
I've felt the pain that love can bring
It don't get no better with each passing day
Any hope I had is slowly slipping away
Look out my window, it's still rainin'
Look out my window, it's still rainin'
I thought the morning would rescue me
But the rain keeps falling endlessly, endlessly
Sometimes I wonder what'll become of me
There ain't much left of what I used to be
Her love shone on me like the morning light
Now here I am alone again tonight
Look out my window, it's still rainin'

You lay me down, whisper in my ear
well, it may be my name you call
but it’s his name I hear
You promised me through thick and thin
you told me you loved me, you told me a lie
Because you love him
And I’m missin’ your love every day
I’m missin’ your love every way
though you’re here with me,I’m still missin’ your love
And when we talk, you look into my eyes
you’re talkin’ to me but baby I can see
he’s on your mind
And I’m missin’ your love every day
I’m missin’ your love love every way
though you’re here with me, baby, I’m missin’ your love
I reach out for you and you turn away
it takes all I can do to make it through the day
and I’m missin’ your love
And I’m missin’ your love every day
missin’ your love every way
though you’re here with me

Yeah I'm Tired of sighing
Tired of worrying you too
I've made up my mind
What I'm gonna do
I've got my clothes and a matchbox
Gonna forget about you
I've tried to tell you many times
But I never could do it
You believe me baby, this time I'm through
I got my clothes and a matchbox
I'm gonna forget about you
Now when things get harder and rough on you
You don't try to get me back, baby
'Cause baby I'm through
I've got my clothes and a matchbox

Solo
Can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always
nice and warm
Can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always
nice and warm
You know it's freezin' out here
and that howlin' wind sends a nasty chill through my bones
Oh you know I
shivered myself to sleep last night
the cold won't let me be
That's when I woke up and realized that
this ain't no place for me
and I can't
can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always nice and warm
You know it's freezin' out here
and that howlin' wind sends a nasty chill through my bones
Solo
Some good old friends got together
and they took me away
from this cold old alley babe
to a warm place I could stay
oh I can't
can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always nice and warm
I'm so happy to see you all
and that old nasty chill is gone

I keep drinking malted milk
tryin' to drown my blues away
I keep drinking malted milk babe
tryin' to drown my blues away
Your as welcome to my lovin' babe
as a flower in the month of May
Well baby fix me one more drink
hug your daddy one more time
Come on fix me one more drink, yeah
hug your daddy one more time
Come on fix me that malted milk
until I
till I change my mind
Solo
Well my door lock keep on turnin'
I think there're spooks round my bed
Well my door lock keep on turnin'
I think there're spooks round my bed
I got a warmer feeling that
the hairs are standing on my bed
Malted milk, malted milk
keep on rushing to my head
Malted milk, malted milk, babe
keep on rushing to my head
I got a funny funny feeling
that I'm talkin' all out my head
I got a funny funny feeling
that I'm talkin' all out my head

I got my baby's love now
know she's got mine
I got my baby's love now
know she's got mine
Well I sit around and stare at her
oh man oh man she sure look fine
My baby's eyes are as clear as the bluest sky
my baby's eyes are as clear as the bluest sky
If the world were like my baby
The good Lord sure would be satisfied
Solo
Looked at other women
changed my mind
compared to my baby
they're a dozen for a dime
My baby sure look fine
her sweet shinin' smile
can turn black dirty water into wine
Solo

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city...ee ha!
His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeah!
His sister's black but she is sho'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city...um hum
Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
Cause where he lives they don't use black people
Living just enough, just enough for the city...
Living just enough...
For the city... ooh, ooh
Living just enough...
For the city... ooh, ooh
Living just enough...
For the city... ooh, ooh
Living just enough...
For the city... ooh, ooh
Living just enough...
For the city... ooh, ooh
Living just enough...
For the city... ooh, ooh
Stevie Wonder

I can't believe in what I've seen
I been forsaken. I been deceived
Cast aside and left behind
I can't believe my own eyes
I been waiting for the glory
Of the coming of the Lord
I heard a lot of stories
But all my prayers have been ignored
I been waiting in the wings
Between the ocean and the shore
But this time I'm leaving to stay
I'm walking away
I seen the red sky in the morning
I seen the low tide slipping away
I do believe I'll take warning
Taking my leave to stay
Chorus
Solo
Like an angel afraid to fly

Ooh wee baby goodness gracious
the way I love you is contagious
Ooh wee baby can't you see I'm in love with you
So come on baby don't be stubborn
just for you I got a little lovin'
Ooh wee baby can't you see I'm in love with you
Well your kisses taste so sweet
they thrill me right off of my feet
I'd walk a mile just to see you smile
Thinking 'bout you nearly drives me wild
Come on babe don't be stubborn
just for you I got a little lovin'
Ooh wee baby can't you see I'm in love with you
Solo
Well your kisses taste so sweet
they thrill me right off of my feet
I'd walk a mile just to see you smile
Thinking 'bout you nearly drives me wild
Come on babe don't be stubborn
just for you I got a little lovin'
Ooh wee baby can't you see I'm in love with you
Yes I'm so in love with you
Baby I'm so in love with you
Ooh wee baby can't you see I'm in love with you
Solo

Every day I see your face I'd wish that it stayed
dont even know what made me run away
its just the way I play the game
emontional is not a word I use to explain myself
and now you got me down apon my knee's
oh baby please just take me back
I dont want to be in love, but your making me
let me up ive had enough
girl your breakin me
Now here I am, half a man standing alone,
this feeling like ive lost my only chance at happyness
when I let you go,no i dont want to be alone, thinking bout you girl
I've got nothing left to hold in my lonley world
The first time my heart was ever touched, was the day I lost your love,
I can feel it in my flesh my flesh and blood,
but my soul can only take so much
So there it is, why cant you give it one more try,
you and i can find a why to live if you let me in just one more time,
I know you've lost your faith in me, but I still beleive,
cant I make you understand, can I make you see,
I am desprate for your love, and its breaking me.
(oh yea its breakin me)
"breakin me"

A thousand people here but im alone
My only friend is my dads radio
Seventeen feels like im thirty-four
How do i get myself up off the floor
I need a cure
Happiness and misery
Im up and down so confused
I want to scream
But theres nobody listening
Stop the war inside of me
Pull the plug, kill thelights
I cant break free
Its happiness or misery
I wish the clouds would all come out today
Send the rain and wash it all away
Am i going crazy i dont know
I wonder will anybody miss me if i go
Happiness ad misery
Im up and down so confused

Theres a letter on the table
Ive never seen it thehre before
I dont have to read it
Cause i already know
Its been a long time coming
And ive been awake for days
I kow we can make it
But things have to change
Your words say its hopeless
But i know theres more between the lines
Goodbye
Is this how you want it
Ill leave but i dont wanna go
And ill wait but i cant wait forever
For you to say goodbye
Well maybe im just dreaming but i know dreams come true
And im still here beliveing
That god made me for you
If we could just start over
Get back where we began
We're better off together

from the album Lie to me
A good morning little schoolgirl,
can I go home with you?
tell your mama and your daddy,
that I'm a little schoolboy too.
Baby I love you,
I just can't help help myself.
You're so good looking pretty babe,
I don't need nobody else.
Good morning little schoolgirl,
Can I go home with you?
Uh, Uh, Uh...
I'm gonna leave you baby,
about the break of day
on account of the way you treat me,
I've got to stay away.
A good morning little schoolgirl,
can I go home with you?
tell your mama and your daddy,
that I'm a little schoolboy too.
Come on pretty baby,
oh you know I can't help myself.
Uh, Uh, Uh...
I'm gonna buy me an aeroplane,
to fly all over your town.
And tell everybody baby,
Lord knows you've been putting me down.
I can't stand it babe,
just cannot help myself
Your're so young and pretty,
But you're lovin' somebody else
A good morning little schoolgirl,
can I go home with you?
Uh, uh, uh...
Oh babe what you do to me,
I can't help myself.

(Luther S. Allison, 1995, Bad Love Music (BMI), Admin. By Eyeball Music)
Watching you baby, watching you all the time
Watching you, watching you all the time
Watching you destroy yourself
All you do is sit around drinking wine
You worry me baby, I'm sitting here wondering
Wondering what in the world can I do
We've got so much to live for baby
But I can't do nothing but sit here
And watch that wine destroy you
That's wrong, baby
I'm talking you to the doctor darling
Maybe the doctor knows what's going on in your head
Maybe the doctor can help me baby
Maybe he knows what's going on in your head
You see you're gonna keep on drinking that bad wine

Every day I see your face I wish I'd stayed
Don't even know what made me run away
It's just the way I play the game
Emotional is not a word I'd use to explain myself
But now I'm down upon my knees
Baby please take me back
I don't want to be in love but you're makin' me
Let me up I've had enough. Girl you're breakin' me
Here I am just half a man standing alone
Feeling like I lost my only chance
At happiness when I let you go
I don't want to be alone thinkin' bout you girl
I got nothin' left to hold in this lonely world
The first time my heart was ever touched
Was the day I lost your love
I can feel it in my flesh and blood
My soul can only take it so much
So there it is. Why can't you give us one more try
You and I could find a way to live
If you let me in one more time
I know you lost your faith in me but I still believe
Can I make you understand, can I make you see
That I'm desperate for your love and it's breakin' me

Look at the man with the smile on his face
Looks like he’s always feelin’ good
Sometimes you might want to take his place
and sometimes I think that you would
When the sun is goin’ down
and there is no place to hide
Even in the brightest light
you might lean toward the darker side
Look at the people, they learn how to lie so easy
They learn how to lie to get what they need
and after they got what they needed
It turns into a simple case of greed
When they no longer feel ashamed
and they’ve lost all sense of pride
Misery loves company
and it’s lonely on the darker side
And when the party is over
and the music has died
You’ll be dancin’ to the music, baby
somewhere on the darker side

I got a friend at the bar
his name is Ray
and I really don't know
what he's trying to say
His skin is black
mine is white
to me there's no difference
wrong or right
Told me he leave
the girl at the curb
Told me never to speak an unkind word
My brother's got rhythm
I got the blues but
Babe we love to live the life that we choose
But now I know what they was trying to say
I gotta change my life
change my ways
Solo
Now I know what they were trying to say
I gotta change my life
change my ways
Now when the night comes babe
you know I'll be found
I'll be playing the blues on every stage in town
And theres a song to be played
and theres a song to be sung
'cause there's a little lovin' boy
in everyone
Solo

Angel of mercy you don't need no golden wing
Angel of mercy you don't need no golden wing
The way you came to my rescue
Heaven must be watchin' over me
When the shadows fallin' and the day turns into night
I hear my angel callin' and I can't wait to see the light
Angel of mercy you don't need no golden wing
The way you came down to my rescue
Heaven must be watchin' over me
Sometimes I get a feelin' like a fever comin' over me
Just a touch of my angels hand and I'm right back on my feet
Angel of mercy you don't need no golden wing
The way you came down to my rescue
Heaven must be watchin' over me
Stay with me baby. Come down from the sky
Just like an angel. Take me to paradise
Angel of mercy you don't need no golden wing
The way you came down to my rescue

(written by: S. Johnson/D. Carter/B. Johnson)

Oh how I love you babe

I would candy coat you with my affection babe
and I'd love you all the time

when you see how big is my lovin'
honey youill finally realize that I'm
I'm your sugarman

Down deep I got a great big heart
from a (last sincerin'?) time that beats

Solo

When I was only just a friend to you
All I wanted to do was get to know you better
Now I wanna give my heart to you
Tell me do you feel like I do when were together
Cause I come alive with your touch
Your touch it always sets me free
I can't get quite enough
Too much of you is what I need
Yes I know you're the one
Cause love has come alive in me
Tell me am I out of line
Tell me if I'm wasting time, I don't mind
Giveing my love to you
I can't help it baby
If I asked you would you say I do
Cause I come alive with your touch
Your touch it always sets me free
I can't get quite enough
Too much of you is what I need
Yes I know you're the one
Cause love has come alive in me
Tell me why do I always have to tell you how I feel
Can't you see you're the one, the only thing
That ever meant something to me
And I need your touch
To come alive
(I come alive, I come alive, I come alive)

Try every single day
I know youre worth the wait
Am i getting closer or further away
Somewhere behind youre eyes
I know my answer lies
But you wont release it
I wish you would try
To open up and let me see inside
Down deep in your heart i want to be
Down where you hide your love for me
Cause ive got to go, ive got to be
Let me inside down where
You hide your love for me
Round and round we go, circles all i know
Deeper and deeper, endless and slow
Everywhere i turn the same old lesson leanred
Over and over i just get burned, so bring me
No, theres nothing you can say
Thats ever gonna make me change
Ill always feel this way
Down deep in your heart i want to be
Down where you hide your love for me
Cause ive got to go, ive got to be

I gave my word, I made a promise
And I'm gonna keep it til the end
What would I do, if I lost it
There's nothing better than what we have
Somehow in my mind
Always new I'd find my
Beautiful one, Beautiful child, my everything
Beautiful one, Beautiful child
So much you give so much to live for
And I wanna give it all back to you
And If it means pouring my heart out
to show you I love you, then I will
Beautiful one, Beautiful child, my everything
Beautiful one, Beautiful child
To be the one to call you mine
To feel the way I do inside
You're so much more than I ever dreamed
This is forever I believe
Beautiful one, Beautiful child, my everything
Beautiful one, Beautiful child
I know you're what I need

When I’m all alone
when I’m feelin’ Blue
no one understands me, baby
nobody but you
Through all the sleepless nights
and the rainy day til the sun is nowhere in view
the only way I make it through is when I come to you
and in my darkest hour, when the midnight shadows fall
baby you got the power to make the angels come to call
I just hold you in my arms
and let music in my heart play the whole night through
when I come to you, I felt so brand new, when I come to you
When I come to you, you make it all right again
when I come to you, you keep me from the howlin’ wind

I'm the biggest fool there ever was, I let you go
Now I can't survive without your touch, I need you so
Now baby all you've got to do
Is to tell me that you need me too
I hit the ground runnin'
Back to you
Well, I'd rather die a thousand deaths
Than to loose you love
But now I'm drowning in my loneliness
I can rise above
Well, just forgive me this one last time
And tell me baby your still mine

Her name was Louise
she came from Mississip'
she had a way with her walk
her gown was really hip
I met her on the corner
she was looking mighty fine
well I knew right when she kissed my lips
she was mine
She loved me in the morning
she loved me noon and night
she dressed just like a pretty girl
the girl was out of sight
her name was Louise
and you know she aimed to please
Louise
Well I met her on the street one day
I saw her with my eyes
she looked and said hello to me
I thought I would die
Next morning when she left me
a smile upon my lips
she kissed me and she said good-bye
I watched her crazy hips
She loved me in the morning
she loved me noon and night
she dressed just like a pretty girl
the girl was out of sight
her name was Louise
and you know she aimed to please
Solo
Louise
Well now a year has past
she's been seeing other guys
I never thought a pretty face
could tell so many lies
The guys that she's been seeing
all have her on their minds
but by the time she's done with them
they all look so satisfied
She loved me in the morning
she loved me noon and night
she dressed just like a pretty girl
the girl was out of sight
her name was Louise
and you know she aimed to please
Louise

Babe why are you seeing all those other men
I can't go on much longer

Babe I think you've got
yourself into a big mess
But when it comes to lovin' babe
I love you the best
Babe you know our love has been as dark as the night
Come on help me bring our lovin' back into the light
Honey I ask for more
but all you ever give me is less
When it comes to love
I love you the best
Baby why you always cheatin' on me
'cause you know that ain't the way it should be
Get your act together baby won't you please
Honey why you always tramplin' on me, yeah
Solo
Girl you know our love has been as dark as the night
Come on help me bring our lovin' back into the light
Baby I ask for more but

When it comes to love
I love you the best
Baby why you always cheatin' on me 'cause you

Great Day
We’ll meet at the river
We’ll be delivered
Of every chain
Down into the water children,
Mothers & Fathers
In this sweet lake
To drown all our secrets
And come up forgiven
Forever changed
Never to return to
The people we hurt
Before that great day
We’ll patiently wait
Until we see His face
And we He appears
To wipe all our tears
Forever away
Then we’ll be together
In heaven forever
On that great day
On that great day
Repeat
On that great day
On that great day
On that great day

You got a secret under the table
Nobody knows it but you
Never a problem here on the outside
Youre good at disguising the truth
After you wake up out of the nightmare
How do you cast out the fear inside
All alone there you stand
Reaching out for someones hand come with me if you wanna save yourself
Where is the good life you always dreamed of
Where is the faith you once had
Sooner or later hope will be useless
Pushing you back where you began
All alone there you stand
Wont you let me take your hand
Come with me if you wanna save yourself
Dont let the past haunt your mind
You should leave it all behind
Come with me if you wanna save yourself
Theres somethign in teh way
Its gotten into you
You've learned to love the chains
Through the needles eye can you escape
All alone there you stand
Wont you let me take your hand
Come with meif you wanna save yourself
Trust your heart not your mind
Cause your runnign out of time

Well, hey hey hey yeah
You sing a song
While sitting at a red light, yeah
You think of home
While sitting at a red light
Too slow to roll
Put your life on hold
An open path
With nowhere to go
You start to wonder
While sitting at a red light
You can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life
A chance to breathe
While sitting at a red light
You look around
Reflecting on your life
A chance to think
Am I drinking too much
Should I keep going
Lose the life that I love
A second glance
When coming to a red light
You can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life
Oh, you can run a red light
Give up on your whole life
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life
When things look low
You've gotta keep strong
Feet to the grass
You've gotta walk it off
The bows been tied
Too tight to laugh
Feet to the ground
You've gotta walk it off, walk it off
You can run a red light
You can run a red light
Start to think
Am I drinking too much
Should I keep going
Lose the life that I love
Woh, you can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life, hey yeah
You can run a red light
Give up on your whole life
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life, oh
You can run a red light
You can run a red light
You sing a song
While sitting at a red light

You lay me down, whisper in my ear
Well, it may be my name you call
But it's his name I hear
You promised me through thick and thin
You told me you loved me, you told me a lie
'cause you love him
And I'm missin' your love every day
I'm missin' your love every way
Though your here with me,
I'm still missin' your love
And when we talk, you look into my eyes
Your talkin to me but baby I can see
He's on your mind
And I'm missin' your love every day
I'm missin' your love every way
Though your here with me, I'm still missin' your love
I reach out for you and you turn away
It takes all I can do to make it through the day
And I'm missin' your love And I'm missin' your love every day
I'm missin' your love every way
Though your here with me,

Yeah, its been a long time coming
Never thought itd take so long
I stood still but time kept running
Time has made me strong
Yeah, ive been waiting
Waiting for this day to come
Time dont wait so i keep singing
Yeah, its been a long time coming
Never thought it'd take so long
I stood still and time kept running
Time has made me strong
Made me strong, made me strong

Good mornin' little schoolgirl
Can I go home with you
Tell your mama and your daddy
That I'm a little school boy too
Baby I love ya', I just can't help myself
Your so good lookin' pretty baby
I don't need nobody else
Good mornin' little school girl
Can I go home with you
ooo, ooo, ooowee
I'm gonna leave you baby
About the break of the day
On account of the way you treat me
I've got to stay away
Good mornin' little schoolgirl
Can I go home with you
Tell you mama and your daddy
I'm a little school boy too
Come on home pretty baby
Oh ya know I can't help myself
ooo, ooo, ooowee
I' gonna buy me an airplane
And fly all over your town
And tell everybody, baby
Lord knows you've been puttin' me down
I can't stand it baby
Just can't stand it baby
Just can't help myself
Your so young and pretty
But your in love with somebody else
Good morin' little school girl
Can I go home with you
ooo, ooo, ooowee
Oh, baby what you do to me

You know ive heard it said theres beauty in distorion
By some people who withdraw to find their head
And they say theres no humor in misfortune
No, i wonder if they'll laugh when i am dead
Why am i fighting to live
If im just living to fight
Why am i trying to see
When there aint nothing in sight
Why am i trying to give
When noone gives me a try
Why am i dying to live
If im just living to die
You know some people say that values are subjective
But theyre just speaking words
That someone else has said
And so they live and fight and kill with no objective
Sometimes its hard to tell the living from the dead
You know i used to weave
My words into confusion
And so i hope you'll understand me
When im through
You know i used to live my life as an illusion
But reality wil make my dream come true
So ill keep fighting to live
Till theres no reason to fight
And ill keep trying to see
Until the end is in sight
You know im trying to give
So come on
Give me a try
You know im dying to live

The tar in the street starts to melt from the heat
And the sweats runnin' down from my hair
I walked 20 miles and I'm dragging my feet
And I'll walk 20 more I don't care
And I'll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
I'm like a ghost some people can't see
Others drive by and stare
A shadow that drifts by the side of the road
It's like I'm not even there
And I'll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
Well I've never been part of the game
The life that I live is my own
All that I know is that I was born
To wander this world all alone, all alone
Some people are born with their lives all laid out
And all their success is assured
Some people work hard all their lives for nothin'
They take it and don't say a word
They don't say a word
Sometimes it's like I don't even exist
Even God has lost track of my soul
Why else would he leave me out here like this
To wander this world all alone
And I'll wander this world, wander this world

Cry, don't cry for me
I can't take it no more, that's the way it must be
You can't lie your way back in
Back into my heart, I won't let it be broken again
Well I took a tumble, I started to stumble
That's when I fell
Into a love I thought was sent from above
I was under your spell
All the things that mattered were broken and shattered
One by one
I was so sad, now I'm just glad
That it's over and done
There's just one thing that I got to say
I truly loved you, but now I'm walking away
Yeah, I truly loved you, put no one above you
Now I'm walkin' away
I took a tumble, I started to stumble
That's when I fell, yeah
Into a love I thought was sent from above
I was under your spell
All the things that mattered were broken and shattered
One by one
I was so sad, now I'm just glad
That it's over and done
There's just one thing that I got to say
I truly loved you, but now I'm walking away
Yeah, I truly loved you, put no one above you
Now I'm walkin away

She said hey hello there
As her eyes were dancing all around me
She told me her name sweetly
It felt like I knew her like I never knew someone before
Well I found her now I can stop holding my breath
I tell all my friends over and over again
I said there ain't no woman like the one I got
Yes I know yes I know
I said there ain't no woman like the one I got
Yes I know yes I know
Whatever you need just tell me
And I'll do all I can to please you
Yes I don't mind where you lead me
Cause anywhere you go girl is everywhere I want to be
Oh I never felt so high
It feels real for the very first time
Cause there ain't no woman like the one I got
Yes I know yes I know
I said there ain't no woman like the one I got
Yes I know yes I know
There was a time when my heart was dragging on the floor
And I thank God for the day that I saw your face and you stole my heart away
I lose all my friends
'Cause I ain't got time left for them
Because there ain't no woman like the one I got
Yes I know yes I know
Because there ain't no feeling like the one I got
Yes I know yes I know

I wonder about her, I wonder where she went from here
still wonder about her, but nothing’s comin’ in too clear
since she left me all alone my days go by like years
Well I’m thinkin’ about her and all the things she used to say
still I’m thinkin’ about her but something’s getting in the way
I remember when she told me she would up and leave me someday
I drive around in circles through the city
just waitin’ for the lights to change
but right about when midnight hits me
moonlight gets me feelin’ kind of crazy
I wonder about her, does she still wear that same old ring
I still wonder about her and I know it ain’t no big thing
well she left me all alone now and I’m just waiting for my phone to ring
I’ve been dreaming about her, I guess I never really knew
that living without her was more than I could ever do
Because she ain’t comin’ back, no she ain’t comin’ back

Second guessin' first impressions
There you go again
Rushing off in all directions
Since I don't know when
All day long you're building walls
You're building walls all day
Putting ceilings on your feelings
When they should fly away
Don't you think it's time you quit it
Don't you think it's time you admit it
Your heart is more worthy of trust
Than the thoughts in your mind that sit there gathering dust
Everything you're looking for
You'll know when it's real
You'll know when you've found it
By the way you feel
Writing down your deepest emotions
With your pen in hand
Your piece of paper flew out the window
You watched it try and land
You felt bad as it flew out of sight
A part of your heart alone in the night
All of a sudden you didn't mind it
When you pictured that lonely stranger that would find it
Everything you're looking for
You'll know when it's real
You'll know when you've found it

Well you keep on talkin' bout it
Till you're stone cold blue in the face
But there ain't nothing darling
That true love can't replace
Yah, you're right, right back
Tryin' to pretend
Yah, you're right back, right back,
Doin' the same old thangs again
Well you're money hungry
And your heart is full of greed
Tellin' everybody you get everything you need
So you say
You're right, right back
Doin' the same old thang again
Yah for me it's the same old movie
Same movie just a different scene
Never meaning what you're sayin'
Never sayin' what you mean
Now you're right, right back
Trying to pretend
Yah I said, you're right, right back
Doin' the same old thang again
You're money hungry
And you're heart is full of greed
Tellin' everybody you get everything you need
You know it's a lie
And now you're right, right back
Tryin' to pretend
Doin' the same old thang again
Yah you're right, right back
Tryin' to pretend
Yah you're right, right back
Doin' the same old thangs again
Ahhhh
Right back
Right back
Right back
Now you're right, right back
Tryin' to pretend
Doin' the same old thang again
Right back, tryin' to pretend
Right back doin' the same old thang again
Right back

(written by Bruce McCabe)
I used to hang out at Jack's Pool Hall
you go down there and don't do nothin' at all
if you wanted to play some cards there was a game in the back
if you wanted to shoot or somethin' you went and talked to Jack
if you had a little money you was a grade A fool
there was a guy down there who used to shoot a little pool
Rack 'em up
till the day he was dead that all they ever said
Rack 'em up
He didn't own a TV set, didn't own a car
he ate what whatever Jack was makin' back behind the bar
they said he had a wife, but she left him in tears
he hadn't been home in twenty five years
Rack 'em up
They came from all over thinkin' they were pretty hot
put all their money on the table, wanna play the best we got
nine in the corner, five in the side
take a hundred dollar bill and just let it ride
I tell him listen son, ain't no disaster
there ain't no shame in being beat by a master
Rack 'em up
til the day he was gone they said it all day long

Yeah I’m tired of sighing
tired of worrying you too
I’ve made up my mind
what I’m gonna do
I’ve got my clothes in a matchbox
gonna forget about you
I’ve tried to tell you many times
but I never could do it
you believe me baby, this time I’m through
I got my clothes in a matchbox
I’m gonna forget about you
Now when things get harder and rough on you
you don’t try to get me back, baby
Because I’m through
I’ve got my clothes in a matchbox

Lie to me and tell me everything is all right
Lie to me and tell me that you’ll stay here tonight
Tell me that you’ll never leave,
and I’ll just try to make believe
that everything you tell me is true
Lie to me, go ahead and lie to me
Lie to me, it doesn’t matter anymore
It could never be what it was before
If I can’t hold on to you
leave me with somethin’ I can hold onto,
for just a little while won’t you let me be
Anyone can see
that you love him more than me
But right now, baby, let me pretend
that our love will never end

We walked away before we said goodbye
That aint right baby
I always thought we'd stand the test of time
I was wrong baby
When the lights in the house all go out
I get lonely, how bout you
Every time the phone rings i hope its you calling
We could work it out
Forget this all somehow
Start over again
Its our love on the line
We should try baby try
I know we can make it
If we both take a chance
If we try baby try
Cause weve got too much to lose
Too many days without your smiling face
I cant take it
I pretend that im feeling fine
But im fakin
Words just cant describe
Honey how im feeling inside
Got to remember
Everyday that goes by
I wish i could somehow get you to understand
I figure if you remember how good we were together
That you'll want to be with me again
(we've got to try, we've got tot try)
Words just cant describe
How i need you in my life
Youve got to remember i love you
We should try baby try
Baby dont forget
Its our love on the line

If being in love means waiting around
So you can dance with me
I am, I am
If being in love means follow the leader
Then this will have to be
I am, I am
I am, I am
Baby I am
So in love with you
I am, I am
Gonna get you baby
If it's the last thing I do
I used to think that a pretty face
Meant more than what was inside
I did, I did
If being a good man
means swallowing all my pride
I will, yes I will
Repeat chorus:
I am the one who loves you
I am the one who cares
You could fly me to the moon
If I would find you there
All the riches in this world mean nothing
Without you here
Whoever, whatever, however, whenever,
You need me I'm always here
Men killing their brothers
Nobody wants to go down alone
In this age of uncertainty
Love's worth more than gold
I'd sleep outside your window
If that would make you see
That I'm the only one for you

Good morning little schoolgirl
can I go home with you
tell your mama and your daddy
that I'm a little schoolboy too
Baby I love ya, I just can’t help myself
you're so good lookin’ pretty baby
I don’t need nobody else
Good morning little schoolgirl
can I go home with you
ooo, ooo, ooowee
I’m gonna leave you baby
about the break of day
on account of the way you treat me
I’ve got to stay away
Good mornin’ little schoolgirl
can I go home with you
tell your mama and your daddy
I’m a little schoolboy too
Come on pretty baby
oh ya know I help myself
ooo, ooo, ooowee
I’m gonna buy me an airplane
and fly all over your town
and tell everybody, baby
Lord knows you’ve been putting me down
I just can’t stand it baby
just cannot help myself
You're so young and pretty
but you’re in love with somebody else
Good mornin’ little schoolgirl
can I go home with you
ooo, ooo, ooowee
oh, baby what you do to me

Make up your mind take me or leave me
I'll be doing fine with or without you
I'm wasting my time letting you deceive me
The truth is in your eyes but I deny what I see
Time and time again
I let you get back under my skin
I let you break me down again
I let you get close way too close
But I see through it
You gave me that smile and I gave in
And you knew that I would
Time and time again you pulled me in
Just to give me up, gime me up again
What is a dream if it doesn't come true
I believe I'll find love but will it be with you
I never would have thought such a pretty little face could
offer me so much and take all that I had
Well I want it back
I let you get back under my skin
I let you break me down again
I let you get close way too close
But I see through it
You gave me that smile and I gave in
And you knew that I would
Time and time again you pulled me in
Just to give me up, gime me up again
Time and time again you pulled me in

Father, Father speaking out
Wants to tell you what it's all about
But you don't listen, you don't care
No one tells you what to do around here
Got your girl, and it's all good
You're so tired of being misunderstood
You'd love to get him off your back
You just want him to cut you some slack
You said "He don't know where I'm at", yeah
Get what you give, don't you know, don't you know
You get what you give
That's right, that's right
That's how it is, don't you know, don't you know
You get what you give
Lost the key that locks your room
And momma's gonna be home soon
Guess this means you've got to lie
You ain't got no other alibi
Get what you give, don't you know, don't you know
You get what you give
That's right, that's right
That's how it is, don't you know, don't you know
You get what you give
(What you give is, what you get)
Tell your daddy you'll be fine
Not to worry you'll get by
Grow your hair and change your name
Pack your bags and runaway
Get what you give, don't you know, don't you know
You get what you give
That's right, that's right
That's how it is, don't you know, don't you know
You get what you give
Get what you give, don't you know, don't you know
You get what you give
That's right, that's right
That's how it is, don't you know, don't you know

I seen every one of the faces you wear
Low, high and everything in between
Your eyes are fixed on the prize like a dead man's stare
Tick. tock. The hands on the clock don't care
Buzz is good
Feelin' fine
One of these days
You'll be out of time
God ain't gonna look for you
Down in the lost and found
You better look up or you're gonna be gone
Before you hit the ground
You'll keep dippin' in til the well run dry
Hope you don't get thirsty later
I know talking to you's just a waste of my time
I'm gonna stop tellin' you how to live your life
One more. Time to score so make it fast
When you lose your mind you got no mind left to lose
Three, four open the door to your last chance
And when you get where you're goin' you won't be comin' back
You better look up or you're gonna be gone

Seems like nowadays
ain't nothin meant to last
One day you've got it all
and then it disappears so fast
Oh and our love
is on and off again
well I know you wanna quit me baby
but a quitter never wins
You walked out on our lovin
while I stayed through thick and thin
After all that we've been through baby
you're gonna tell me it's the end
And oh, our love
is on and off again
Well I know you wanna quit me baby
but a quitter never wins
It seems like nowadays
love's a word that no one means
You said you'd never leave me
and then you up and walked out on me
Oh our love
oh is on and off again
Well I know you wanna quit me baby
but a quitter never wins
Well I know you wanna quit me baby
but a quitter never wins

Famous quotes by Jonny Lang:

"For the most part, we're playing acoustic instruments, ... But the show isn't completely unplugged. A more accurate description would be 'broken down.'"

"I'm at a place where I just feel so grateful for what I'm doing. I couldn't ask for anything more."

"I think the people at my record label know I'm a Christian and again, I've been really blessed that I've never had to get into a head-butt war over moral standards or anything like that."

"I've probably gone a month or two without playing guitar, just because I've gotten so burnt on it touring all year or whatever."

"When I began my career, I was constantly referred to as the kid who could play the blues."

"I hope that it can relate to and be a blessing to anybody, with the hope that someday they will find Jesus Christ to be the same God that I've found Him to be."

"I've been getting into different gospel artists; Aretha Franklin is someone I've been listening to a lot of."

"During a big rock show, you can flub a few things and nobody will hear it, because it gets buried under everything else."

"I have an awesome church home and an awesome Pastor down in L.A., and I couldn't be happier."

"My dad was good friends with the Bad Medicine Blues Band - one of the only blues bands in Fargo, as you can imagine! He took me out to see them play when I was 12 years old and I was really inspired by their guitar player, Ted Larsen."

"Apparently, there's this whole set of disgruntled people but obviously it's not my intention to offend anyone by changing the style of music that I've done."

"Yeah, touring can get rough some times and draining, but I always have to pinch myself and realize that I'm doing what I love."

"Probably my favorite artists to listen to James Taylor, Stevie Wonder - I haven't gone back in a really long time and really listened to them - my first guitar influences. It's been awhile since I revisited that."

"I think I'm more influenced, just in general, not by blues artists, but more by stuff from Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder is probably my biggest musical influence of all. And Donny Hathaway."

"It's an honor to win a Grammy, of course."

"I'm not a fast, stream-of-consciousness lyricist at all - I know some guys who are, and if there is one skill I wish I had, it's that."
