(Guillory, LaBrie)
Sit with me in the corner
Where the lights are low
Maybe you can make it right
Maybe you can make it right
With all the lights still covered
There's something too familiar
A little much to hang onto
A little much to hang onto
What I believed in no longer matters
Won't try and hold onto who I once was
Why should it matter
What I prefer
But society slams me
Thinks I'm less of a man
Now I know I'm wanting
To go back to you
And I don't quite understand
And I don't quite understand
Can't deny these feelings
That are coming through
Is this who I really am
Is this who I really am
I never imagined this that I'm feeling
I finally have something I believe in
It shouldn't matter
This is who I am
But society slams me
Calls me less of a man
I've finally something to believe in
I never imagined what I was feeling
It shouldn't matter
You don't feel the same
But so quick to judge and
You spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it okay
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction oh, beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty, oh and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
So tired of the street life and everywhere you turn
There's vulture and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference escape one last time
So much easier to believe in this sweet madness
All the glorious sadness
Brings me to my knees
In the arms of the angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
(Beverley Mahood/Mark Dineen)
(Track 11 - Time 3:49)
I've got a picture of them outside their college dorm
In clothes and hair they'd rather forget they'd ever worn
With their arms around each other when they first started dating
He looks like one of The Monkees
She looks like Marcia Brady
Things may come and things may go
And some will linger for a while
But true love never goes out of style
And here's the happy couple in a wedding photograph
And lookin' at it now even they can't help but laugh
She's in a mini dress, platforms and thick eye shadow
The same shade as his baby blue tuxedo
'Cause things may come and things may go
And some will linger for a while
And though some things change
One thing stays the same
True love never goes out of style
True love never goes out of style
Watchin' mom and dad growing older now together
Learning from them how to make love last forever
And today they celebrate their silver anniversary
They can't belive how many years have passed by so quickly
His hair's the only thing that's thinner
Hers is a different shade
But neither one of them have noticed any change
Things may come and things may go
And some will linger for a while
And though some things change
One thing stays the same
True love, true love
True love never goes out of style
(Beth Hart/Taylor Rhodes/Christopher Ward)
Some dreams have faded, some friends are gone
Most nights I find myself walking alone
I used to think I had it all figured out
I still wake up with my head full of doubt
I've been around and around and around again
I've been hangin' around and waitin' in vain
I've been kissed and kicked out in the light of the day
And sometimes I don't even know me
I'm so gone, I feel no shame
I'm tired of these losers tryin' to put out my flame
And I know that I don't belong
Don't look for me 'cause I'm so gone
Swept through the wreckage of all that I've been
You can't see the damage but you know what I mean
The misfit in 212 is singin' for free
What the radio plays don't mean nothin' to me
I've been around and around and around again
I've been hangin' around and waitin' in vain
I've been kissed and kicked out in the light of day
And sometimes I don't even know me
I'm so gone, I feel no shame
I'm tired of these losers tryin' to put out my flame
And I know that I don't belong
Don't look for me 'cause I'm so gone
Sometimes I don't even know
Sometimes I don't even care
Sometimes I don't want to know
So I'm leavin', I don't give a damn
There ain't nobody gonna kill who I am
I know that I don't belong
Couldn't see the colors of a southern sunrise
Didn't see the moonlight 'til shone in your eyes
You taught me to believe and gave me wings to fly
If not for loving you, I never would have known
How safe a heart can feel, how deep a love can go
If not for loving you, would've never had the chance
Of knowing what it is to open up and give
There's so much I'd have missed
If not for loving you
When I think how easy it would have been
To let you go instead of letting you in
Baby, I'm so thankful you're in my life
If not for loving you, I never would have known
How safe a heart can feel, how deep a love can go
If not for loving you, would've never had the chance
Of knowing what it is to open up and give
There's so much I'd have missed
If not for loving you
Seems like you've always been a part of me
I can't imagine how my life would be
If not for loving you
If not for loving you, would've never had the chance
Of knowing what it is to open up and give
There's so much I'd have missed
If not for loving you
I saw you again last night at the Sunset Grill
But you didn't see me
You looked so happy with that friend
You said was just a friend
Maybe you changed your mind
About all that space you needed desperately
Or maybe you lied and never meant it
One day you'll see
That you could've had me, could've had me, yeah
You'll wake up all alone and be sorry
I'm spending lots of time reading
All those books that just sat on my shelf
Calling up friends who haven't heard from me
In quite a while
I'm learning lots of things about life and love
And liking myself
Finally getting by without you
One day you'll see
That you could've had me, could've had me, yeah
You'll wake up and notice something is missing
Oh, yeah
But I'll be free
And you could've had me, could've had me, yeah
You could had me to yourself
All to yourself
What's done is done and life goes on
But it's such a shame that you couldn't see
It could've been you, it could've been you and me
One day you'll see
That you could've had me, could've had me, baby
You'll wake up and notice something is missing
When you wake up I'll be free
And you could've had me, could've had me, yeah
You could've had me to yourself
I saw you again last night at the Sunset Grill
But you didn't see, didn't see
Ooh yeah
We spent all night down by the riverside
Laughin' at nothin' and talking too much
And the moonlight was so bright in your eyes
Before I knew it, I was fallin' in love
It was too cold to swim, oh, so we just lay there
On the bank 'til the break of day
And though we never went in the water
Oh darling, we were swept away
And the river rolled
And the night got cold
But you held me close
And you warmed my soul
And we spent all night down by the riverside
Wonderin' how it happened so fast
And it sure did take us by surprise
When that morning sun it came up at last
It was too cold to swim, oh, so we just lay there
On the bank 'til the break of day
And though we never went in the water
Deep down, we were swept away
And the river rolled
And the night got cold
But you held me closed
And you warmed my soul
And we spent all night down by the riverside
Ooh baby
It was too cold to swim, so we just lay there
On the bank 'til the break of day
And though we never went in the water
Oh darling, we were swept away
Though we never went in the water
We were swept away
Ooh, we were swept away
Swept away, swept away
We were swept, swept away
We were swept
We were swept away
Fuck them niggas 'cause they bitch made anyway
Can't come in tha hood, I hope he got an A-K
He crossed tha line, nigga dropped a dime
Then he ran to those white folks, sayin' I tried
I Stunna one of a kind you muthafucka
Catch me in tha summer in a rag top Hummer
Nigga pack yo tools, nigga pay yo dues
Been a G about this gangsta shit, it ain't no rules

Little jive ass nigga, we can never be friends
Oh bitch made nigga, we can never be friends

You fuckin' up a nigga work, we can never be friends
You put a hoe before yo homies, we can never be friends
You turnin' state on yo homies, we can never be friends
Nigga, we could never be friends
I was raised around dope and crack fiends, stranglers and triple beams
You can not imagine all tha shit that a nigga seen
Now I done seen niggas get they head busted for nothin'
They leave and come back stuntin' like they 'bout it and wasn't
Better watch them some nigga or stop them some nigga
This a nigga wit a black hooded and pops them a nigga
The people came thru and they done kicked in my Ma's do'
They tore up my Ma's house and questioned my folks
My momma stood up and said, "Ain't no Lac here
Get yo dogs, get tha fuck out and don't come back here"
I'm tired of runnin', I can't turn back, I hear tha sirens comin'
Now they can give a lovely fuck why I done it
An all they need to prove is that I fired somethin'
Or hit 9 lil' children
My potna got killed and they say I was the gunman
You fuckin' right I know him and fuckin' right I done him
Little jive ass nigga, we can never be friends
Oh bitch made nigga, we can never be friends

I was tha first nigga out tha click wit a Cuban connect
An tha first to push a six thru tha Nolia project
I broke bread wit' all my niggas gave 'em tha prices I get
Turn the projects to condeminiums and diamonds to begets
Was tha first to go to feds, I left my two month old daughter
Her momma said since I left my friends ain't passed a quater
When I rolled out same niggas was in my face again
Like, "Stone you out early, man we thought you got ten"
We kicked tha bo bo, swapped lies, given hugs and dap
But you know hugs ain't love, niggas is checkin' for straps
Each one of them owein' me a dub, ain't even mention tha snaps
I knew then it was bad blood, I'm 'bout to twist some caps
Gun in hand, I'm eatin' grits, I haven't done this in awhile
I see one in a blue sedan, sharin' kisses and smiles
I creep up on him, popped tha van, ran thru tha crowd
Hit tha corner of Washington then I popped up his house
Little jive ass nigga, we can never be friends
Oh bitch made nigga, we can never be friends
You a pussy muthafucka, we can never be friends
We can never be friends, we can never be friends
You fuckin' up a nigga work, we can never be friends
You put a hoe before yo homies, we can never be friends
You turnin' state on yo homies, we can never be friends
Nigga, we could never be friends

'Cause you's a bitch nigga dawg and square as a preist
An you's a snitch nigga dawg 'cause you told tha police

So you was all about tha rah rah shit back then
But yo money ain't long and you know you can't win
Your boy Mack a shot caller and if you hate me I feel you
'Cause I got enough bread to pay yo homies to kill you
Yo I can kick back, fuck, and have fun all year

(Gary O'Connor)
Well he caught her doin' 90 at the top of a hill
He called out, "get over, now who you tryin' to kill"
Oh she caught her reflection in a mirror on his face
In her K-mart collection of leather and lace
They followed the directions to the letter of the law
And in a turn of events she told him, "up against the wall"
She took a look around and said, "can't you feel the danger?"
Baby won't you be my Texas Ranger
Callin' help please
Won't somebody rescue me
I'll be around now, don't be a stranger
I just wanna be your Texas Ranger
He said my momma calls me sonny but you can call me ray
I bring love to justice, I'm in it for the game
With a black-belt in flirtation she put him to the test
So they made a reservation in the wild, wild west
And they heard him call as she fell into favor
Baby won't you be my Texas Ranger
Callin' help please
Lock me up and lose the key
Well the arms of the law getcha sooner or later
Baby won't you be my Texas Ranger
Oh save me Texas
I want you to help me, help me
Damsel in distress
Oooh, I'm all out of breath
And I'm in a cold sweat, yeah
Callin' help please
Lock me up and lose the key
Gonna shoot out the lights, wake up the neighbors
Baby won't you be my Texas Ranger
Take me, take me, take me to Texas baby
Won't you be my Texas Ranger
If I wanted it easy, I'd have been gone by now
If I thought it was simple, I'd have figured it out
The best thing called love takes everything that I've got
I'm sure what it is but I'm sure what it's not
'Cause baby you and I got different ways
Of saying the same thing, oh yeah
This love is hard from start to finish
And if you love you gotta put your whole heart in it
And if it's right, you'll know in a minute, yeah
You're doin' things, you never thought you could
Oh, love is hard but baby, life is good
We can say things that cut to the bone
We want to be together but we want to be alone
Sometimes it seems we're on different tracks
We might walk away but we'll always come back
Baby, you and me got different ways
Of saying the same thing
We both know
Love is hard from start to finish
And if you love, you gotta put your whole heart in it
And if it's right, you'll know in a minute
Doin' things you never thought you could
Oh, love is hard but baby, life is good
Oh, so good
Love is hard from start to finish
And if you love you gotta put your whole heart in it
If it's right you'll know in a minute
You're doin' things you never thought you could
Yeah, love is hard but baby, life is good
Feels so good
Hey, love is hard, life's so good
Love is hard, life's so good
Love is hard, life's so good
Love is hard, life's so good
Love is hard, life's so good
There's a guy living on my street
He's kinda cute and really sweet
He said maybe we ought to go out sometime
I wouldn't mind
Well there's guy down at work I've seen
We met today at the coke machine
He asked me my name and we talked some
Could be fun
Ooh, how's a girl to choose?
Ooh, what's a girl to do?
Gotta kiss 'em all, kiss 'em all, kiss 'em all
That's the plan for now
(That's the plan for now)
Gotta kiss 'em all, kiss 'em all, kiss 'em all
And let love sort 'em out
(Love will sort them out)
A couple girlfriends and I
Went dancing last Friday night
A boy in a band dedicated a song to me
Flattery
Started my head a spinning
Such sweet indecision
I could narrow it down but why would I?
I've got time
Ooh, how's a girl to choose?
Ooh, what's a girl to do?
Gotta kiss 'em all, kiss 'em all, kiss 'em all
That's the plan for now
(That's the plan for now)
Gotta kiss 'em all, kiss 'em all, kiss 'em all
And let love sort 'em out
(Love will sort them out)
Ooh, sweet indecision
Whatcha gonna do?
Maybe I will, maybe I won't
I won't know baby if I don't
Gotta kiss 'em all, kiss 'em all, kiss 'em all
That's the plan for now
(That's the plan for now)
Gotta kiss 'em all, kiss 'em all, kiss 'em all
And let love sort 'em out
Just give me one
(Give me a one)
Give me a one
(Give me a one)
Give me one little kiss, yeah
What harm could that be?
Just give me one
(Give me a one)
Give me a one
(Give me a one)
Give me one little kiss, yeah
What harm could that be?
Just give me one
(Give me a one)
Give me a one
(Give me a one)
Give me one little kiss, yeah
Well I know this guy
We have a real good time
I let him get a little close
Do I like him, yes, do I love him, no
We don't fight and all my friends say we look good together
But try as I might I just don't see me with him forever
I don't want a man I can live with
I want a love that leaves no room for doubt
I don't want a man I can live with
I want a man that I can't live without
Well I know this other guy
The kind that mamas like
He wears armani suits
He wants to marry me, he's got money to boot
Imagine that I'd have a life that's easy to get used to
Matter of fact, there's a real good reason I don't choose to
I don't want a man I can live with
I want a love that leaves no room for doubt
I don't want a man I can live with
I want a man that I can't live without
I don't want somebody
Just to have somebody
That's how I am
I'm that kind of girl
Even if it takes all the time in the world
I don't want a man I can live with
I want a love that leaves no room for doubt
I don't want a man I can live with
I want a man that I can't live without
I want a man that I can't live without
Well I know this guy
We have a real good time
And I know this other guy
He makes me feel real nice
And there's this guy I like
But do I love him, no
'Cause I want a man
You ought to be ashamed of yourself
The way you talk down to me
Oh baby, didn't anybody ever teach you
To act more respectfully
I'm telling you that I'm only human too
Don't you realize? Look at my face
What do you see in my eyes
When a part of me just dies?
I cry real tears, I have real fears
I've got a heart that's beating inside
Sometimes it breaks and when it aches
My eyes cry real tears
You treat me like you think I'm made of stone
Like when I'm cut, I don't bleed
Oh baby, don't you know that I'm just flesh and bone?
So what do you want from me?
I'm telling you that I'm only human too
Don't you realize? Look at my face
What do you see in my eyes
When a part of me just dies?
I cry real tears, I have real fears
I've got a heart that's beating inside
Sometimes it breaks and when it aches
My eyes cry real tears
There's something called the golden rule
Someday you'll wish you followed it more
You've been a fool
My love is truer than any love you will find
But I'm worth so much more and so is my time
I cry real tears, I have real fears
I've got a heart that's beating inside
Sometimes it breaks and when it aches
My eyes cry real tears
I cry real tears, I have real fears
I've got a heart that's beating inside
Sometimes it breaks and when it aches
My eyes cry real tears
Every little teardrop
That falls from my eyes
Falls for you, baby
(Giselle Brohman/Jason Barry)
There's a little two-room house just outside of town
With a little picket fence and the blinds pulled down
A wife with two young kids
She sees them off to bed
As she waits for her husband to come home
Lately she's been doing a lot of thinking
About the arguments and why she's hurting
Is it worth the extra mile
To hang on for a little while
When she's had all the heartache she can stand
And her mama's words still echo in her head
Girl, he can't talk without his hands
What's made you stay this long I don't understand
If you leave now you might still have a chance
'Cause girl, he can't talk without his hands
There's a little two-room house just a few miles down
The little girl's grown up and she's married now
Tears on a window pane
With a baby on the way
As she waits for her husband to come home
She calls her mama up on the telephone
She says it's getting dark and I'm all alone
Can we talk for a little while
Mama says what's the matter child
But she knows that her baby's been misled
And her mama's words still echo in her head
She said, girl, he can't talk without his hands
What's made you stay this long I don't understand
If you leave now you might still have a chance
(Linda Thompson/Reed Vertelney)

What do you see in my eyes
When a part of me just dies
I cry real tears
I have real fears
I've got a heart that's beating inside
Sometimes it breaks
