Lari Michele White (born May 13, 1965 in Dunedin, Florida) is an American country music artist and actress. She first gained national attention in 1992 as a winner on You Can Be a Star, a talent competition which aired on The Nashville Network. A recording contract with RCA Records Nashville followed a year later, producing three studio albums, a greatest hits package, and several chart singles. A fourth studio album was released in 1998 on Lyric Street Records, followed by two more releases on White's own label, Skinny White Girl. Overall, White has charted twelve times on the Billboard country music charts, with three of her singles having reached Top Ten: "That's My Baby" and "That's How You Know (When You're In Love)" at #10, and "Now I Know" at #5.
Lari Michele White was born May 13, 1965 in Dunedin, Florida. As a child, she sang in her family's gospel group, The White Family Singers, which comprised her parents, sister, and brother. White sang at talent contests and performed in a local rock band as well. She later studied vocals and music engineering at the University of Miami Frost School of Music, and while in college, she started to write her own music and perform in local clubs.
James Travis Tritt (born February 9, 1963) is an American, Grammy winning, country music singer from Marietta, Georgia. He signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1989, releasing seven studio albums and a greatest hits package for the label between then and 1999. In the 2000s, he released two albums on Columbia Records and one for the defunct Category 5 Records. Seven of his albums (counting the Greatest Hits) are certified platinum or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA); the highest-certified is 1991's It's All About to Change, which is certified triple-platinum. Tritt has also charted more than forty times on the Hot Country Songs charts, including five number ones — "Help Me Hold On," "Anymore," "Can I Trust You with My Heart," "Foolish Pride" and "Best of Intentions" — and fifteen additional top ten singles. Tritt's musical style is defined by mainstream country and Southern rock influences.
He has received two Grammy Awards, both for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals: in 1992 for "The Whiskey Ain't Workin'," a duet with Marty Stuart, and again in 1998 for "Same Old Train", a collaboration with Stuart and nine other artists. In addition, he has received four awards from the Country Music Association, and has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 1992.
(Lari White)
I was just thinking how nice it would be
To have someone to kiss me good night
I was just thinking what I really need
Is someone to hold me real tight
I was just thinking
Of finding somebody I could mean everything to
And it's funny you should happen to walk into my life
'Cause I was just thinking of you
I was just thinking of a walk in the rain
Underneath an umbrella for two
I was just thinking of the sound of my name
On the lips of a lover so true
I was just thinking
Of a moment of magic that lasts a whole lifetime through
And it's funny you should happen to walk into my life
'Cause I was just thinking of you
I've felt your tender touch in every romance I've read
And I've seen your sweet smile in my dreams
There's a feeling I get, like we've already met
And it's almost too good to believe
I was just thinking of a moment of magic
That lasts a whole lifetime through
And it's funny you should happen to walk into my life
I woke up this morning and I started thinkin` about you
The way you smile the way you laugh the way you smell
The way you do that thing you do
And I...I...
I got to thinkin` maybe we could get together you know
Hang out spend a little time
You know maybe we might hit it off
We might like cook
We might find out we were made for each other
We might end up walkin` down the aisle &
Settin` up a little house &
You know havin` little children runnin` around &
Gettin` old with each other & I can see the whole thing
Groove w/ me baby
All night long
Groove w/ me baby
The groove is so strong
Groove w/ me baby
We`re doin` no wrong
Tell me can`t you see all that we could be
Oh hey
Sometimes I can`t help myself my mind just starts to wander
My imagination just goes crazy & I start thinkin` about
Man we could have so much love that it would just kind of
Overflow & run down the street & all over the whole world & before too long
Everybody would be in love and they`d be groovin` on each other and diggin` each other &
There wouldn`t be no more fightin` & everybody would get along & can`t you see it
Can`t you just ...come on ... Ah
Groove w/ me baby
All night long
Groove w/ me baby
The groove is so strong
Groove w/ me baby
We`re doin` no wrong
Tell me can`t you see all that we could be
Oh hey
Let your imagination go boy you never know
Oh hey

Spanish moss drippin' from a live oak tree
Mockin' bird sittin' on a cypress knee
Sweet old sycamore blowin' in the breeze
The slammin' of the screen door
Ice cold creek and sugar white sand
Pink azalea bloomin' like to beat the band
Granddaddy reachin' down to take my hand
Gonna go to the candy store
Me and Jesus we was thick as thieves
He washed me in the blood and lordy I believed
And I gave him my heart at the altar call
Back in Eden before the fall, Eden before the fall
Coal black curls and a dimple in his chin
A swagger in his walk and a sideways grin
Even Elvis himself had nothin' on him
The boy couldn't be denied
His daddy's in the pulpit shoutin' fury and fire
We're sneakin' out the back door behind the choir
And it couldn't be wrong 'cause it was pure desire
We were saved and sanctified
Lyin' on a bed of magnolia leaves
He said I was an angel Lord and I believed
And I gave him my heart, Lord, I gave it all
Back in Eden before the fall, Eden before the fall
The apple tasted sweeter and the world was clean
I could make sense out of everything
Now it's just a beautiful dream I can't quite recall
If you want a good good love
Hold on when the times are bad
'Cause if you jump ship when trouble hits
Good for nothin' is all you'll have
You gotta anchor down in the winds of doubt
You can't give in and you can't bail out
If the water's high hold your head above
And hang on for that good good love
When love sets sail it's always a sunny day
And when the skies are blue
It's so easy to make love stay
But when the clouds roll in
And the ship begins to strain
You gotta try a little harder
Go on, test the water
'Cause the air is so much sweeter
After a real good rain
If you want a good good love
Hold on when the times are bad
'Cause if you jump ship when trouble hits
Good for nothin' is all you'll have
You gotta anchor down in the winds of doubt
You can't give in and you can't bail out
If the water's high hold your head above
And hang on for that good good love
Now a few dark days don't mean that love has died
'Cause just above the storm
You know the sun always shines
And you can't say love is true until it's tried
So there ain't no need to fret
You're gonna get just a little wet
But you won't go under with the thunder
If you let the faith hold you high
If you want a good good love
Hold on when the times are bad
'Cause if you jump ship when trouble hits
Good for nothin' is all you'll have
You gotta anchor down in the winds of doubt
You can't give in and you can't bail out
If the water's high hold your head above
(Lari White/John Rotch)
I know what it is you're tryin'
When you're tryin' to be so cool
Everywhere you go you're a Romeo
With a smile and a line so smooth
But the trail of hearts lying in your wake
It looks like a six lane interstate
And there's a big, bright, red light telling me tonight
Not to slow down, get my heart out of sight
Chorus:
So you won't get the taste of this, not even a kiss
The fact your middle name is heartache ain't no coincidence
You made a livin' out of lovin' and leavin' 'em to fall apart
So now you better understand you'll never lay a hand on one
Itty bitty little single solitary piece o' my heart
I know what it is you're doin'
With all that cooin' and a wooin'
But you can't fool me, I got a degree
I learned a lot from hard knock schoolin'
Well, I used to jump in wholehearted
Every time a new love started
But it was just a chase, then replaced heart, thrown in my face
Not any more, my love is to good to waste
(Repeat chorus)
I said now you better understand, you'll never lay a hand on one
Itty bitty little single solitary piece o' my heart
I've got a closet full of sensible shoes
I keep my head, never lose my cool
I'm well known for my practical ways
But ooh, one of these days
I wanna be somebody's fool
I wanna be somebody's fool
Laughing in the rain
Dancing in the dark
Crazy in love up to my heart
I wanna be somebody's fool
Over the edge, head over heels
Out of control, how does that feel?
Just for once in my logical life
Ooh, I gotta know what it's like
I wanna be somebody's fool
I wanna be somebody's fool
Laughing in the rain
Dancing in the dark
Crazy in love up to my heart
I wanna be somebody's fool
Laughing in the rain
Dancing in the dark
Crazy in love up to my heart
I wanna be somebody's fool

Old tin roof, leaves in the gutter
A hole in the screen door big as your fist and flies on the butter
Mamaw baking sugar cookies, we were watching cartoons
Heard her holler from the kitchen which one of you youngens wants to lick the spoon
Yellow jackets on the watermelon, honeysuckle in the air
Daddy turning on the sprinkler, us kids running through it in our underwear
Old dog napping on the front porch, his ear just a twitching
Fall asleep on Granddaddy's lap to the sound of his pocket watch ticking
Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
It doesn't feel like it was all that long ago
Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
You can dream about it every now and then
But you can't go home again
Me and my best friend Vickie, set up a backyard camp
Stole one of mama's mason jars, poked holes in the lid and made a firefly lamp
Me and Jimmy Monroe, sneaking down by the river
I'm still haunted by the taste of a kiss I didn't get 'cause he was too chicken liver
Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
It doesn't feel like it was all that long ago
Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
You can dream about it every now and then
But you can't go home again
There's a blacktop road, a faded yellow centerline
And it can take you back to the place, but it can't take you back in time
Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
It doesn't feel like it was all that long ago
Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
You can dream about it every now and then
But you can't go home again
Old tin roof, leaves in the gutter
A hole in the screen door big as your fist and flies on the butter
(Lari White & Toby Keith)
(R.J. Lang)
We saw the moon in Colorado
Made music in Tennessee
We found the gold of El Dorado
It's so good, making love, you and me
These arms, they will never hold another
These eyes, they are blind to any other
And these lips, no other boy will ever kiss
And this heart, it will always feel like this
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could tell me not to
He sent you from Heaven
Just to make my dreams come true
When he opened the door
That you came walking through
Only God could stop me loving you
Now we struck oil in Oklahoma
And won the Oscar in Hollywood
And climbed the canyons of Arizona
And baby, making love never felt so god
These arms, they will never hold another
These eyes, they are blind to any other
And these lips, no other boy will ever kiss
And this heart, it will always feel like this
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could tell me not to
He sent you from Heaven
Just to make my dreams come true
When he opened the door
That you came walking through
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could stop me loving
Loving you, loving you, loving you, loving you
You can take a stranger home
Never spend a night alone
But you have to face the morning feeling empty inside
'Cause you can't pretend it's real
When what you really want to feel
Is the magic of the moment when love can't be denied
When your heart makes a sound like rolling thunder
And your arms are wrapped around an angel from above
And when the earth begins to shake
'Cause it can feel the love you make
Oh oh oh that's how you know
When you're in love
I had all but given up
On ever finding love
Until I caught a glimpse of heaven when I looked into your eyes
And your fingers touched my skin
Like a stormy summer wind
Now I'm falling like the rain oh what a sweet surprise
When your heart makes a sound like rolling thunder
And your arms are wrapped around an angel from above
And when the earth begins to shake
'Cause it can feel the love you make
Oh oh oh that's how you know
When you're in love
All of God's creation starts to sing in harmony
All I know you can hear it baby I know you believe
When your heart makes a sound like rolling thunder
And your arms are wrapped around an angel from above
And when the earth begins to shake
'Cause it can feel the love you make
Oh oh oh that's how you know
Come here darlin', let me whisper in your ear
A precious little secret that I think you need to hear
With the way the women's movement's always making the news
I can see how a man might get confused
Now a woman doesn't mind a man holding the door
But slaving in some kitchen ain't what God made a woman for
We've come a long way baby, but way down deep we're still the same
What a woman wants will never change
Chorus:
What a woman wants is to be treated like a queen
By a man who deserves to be treated like a king
What a woman wants, what keeps her holding on
Is a loving man who understands what a woman wants
Now that ain't so complicated, baby, you know what to do
Just do onto me like you want to be done to
Put me on a pedestal and I'll put you on a throne
I bet you're gonna love what a woman wants
Sometimes you, sometimes I push
We shove, we know heaven knows
In the game of love, sweet love
Anything goes
I know you won't ever do
What I could never forgive
You know that I know that you'll love me
As long as you live forever
Sometimes you, sometimes I push
We shove, we know heaven knows
In the game of love, sweet love
Anything goes
Just when we think we know just
What we're thinking, surprise
Sometimes it seems that
The rule is that no rule applies
Ai, ai, ai, ai, anything goes
Sometimes you, sometimes I push
We shove, we know heaven knows
In the game of love, sweet love
Anything goes
Ai, ai, ai, ai, anything goes
In the game of love, my love
Don't move, don't breathe
This is that pivotal moment we ask ourselves what's it gonna be
Don't think, just feel
Feel around inside your heart for something real
You can't look me in the eye and tell me you wanna say goodbye
We got a good thing, we just gotta keep believin', baby
Oh, let's keep it together
(Let's keep it together)
(Let's keep it together)
Oh, let's keep it together
(Keep it together)
(Let's keep it together)
Oh, let's keep it together
Now we could chalk it up and call it a day
And say we tried and wash our hands and simply walk away
All that I recall when we made love
We made the sweetest love there ever was
You can't look me in the eye and tell me you wanna say goodbye
We got a good thing, we just gotta keep believin', baby
Oh, let's keep it together
Let's keep it together, together
Oh, let's keep it together
(Let's keep it together)
Keep it together
Let's keep it together
Oh, let's keep it together
Oh, let's keep it together
(Let's keep it together)
Oh, let's keep it together
(Let's keep it together, keep it together)
Baby
Oh, let's keep it together
(Let's keep it together, keep it together)
I'm walkin' down this empty street
I don't know where I am or where I'm going
I keep turnin' corners
To keep the pain that follows me confused
I'm talkin' to myself, so I don't
Hear his voice on every wind that's blowing
And if I'm not already crazy
My mind is all that I have left to lose
Gone without a warning, the thing I loved the most
What he couldn't tell me, heaven only knows
This hour of the morning as I stumble on
I can almost hear my spirit breaking with the dawn
I'm walkin' down this empty street
I don't know where I am or where I'm going
I keep turnin' corners
To keep the pain that follows me confused
I'm talkin' to myself, so I don't
Hear his voice on every wind that's blowing
And if I'm not already crazy
My mind is all that I have left to lose
Out here in the darkness
The shadows come to life
How long can I balance
On the sharp edge of the night?
I'm walkin' down this empty street
I don't know where I am or where I'm going
I keep turnin' corners
To keep the pain that follows me confused
I'm talkin' to myself, so I don't
Hear his voice on every wind that's blowing
And if I'm not already crazy
My mind is all that I have left to lose
If I'm not already crazy
Down the middle of the page I drew a line
At the top I wrote my name, the date, the time
And sitting like a schoolgirl at my desk
I decided it was time to take the test
On the left I wrote the reasons I should leave
The differences that we had not forseen
By the time I got it all off my chest
It looked like we were sure to fail the test.
I wrote down, every fault, I wrote down every fight
Every hurtful word we ever said in spite
Then on the right I wrote the reasons why
I should stay with you until I die
I only wrote one word, no more, no less
I knew I was finished with the test
The word I wrote was love, and I confess
See that boy walking down the street
Thinks he's tough but he smiles so sweet
Snakeskin boots and a baseball cap
Bet you'd like to meet a boy like that
He's a little crazy he's a little loud
He loves to do what ain't allowed
And he might talk too slow and drive too fast
But he'd do any little thing I ask cause
That's my baby
That's my baby
That's my diamond in the rough
But I can make him shine with my sweet love
That's my baby
He's a rebel wild and free
My mama says he ain't right for me
Daddy prays he's just a phase I'm going through
But one of these days their gonna love him too 'cause
That's my baby
That's my baby
That's my diamond in the rough
But I can make him shine with my sweet love
That's my baby
He ain't no angel he ain't no saint
But I don't worry 'bout what he ain't
'Cause what he is, is something fine
And he lets me know that he's mine all mine
That's my baby
That's my baby
That's my diamond in the rough
But I can make him shine with my sweet love
Here I am at another dead end
Stopped in my tracks again
Closer then I've been to where I wanna be
A broken heart standing in my way
Big as life on a real bad day
Making lemons into lemonade
Ain't nothing new to me No
This ain't no stumbling block
It's just a stepping stone
I'm gonna climb right up on top
And take a good look at where I'm going
And it ain't gonna slow me down
Hold me back or turn me around (Stepping Stone)
This ain't no stumbling block (Stepping Stone)
It ain't no stumbling block (Stepping Stone)
This ain't no stumbling block
It's just a stepping stone
Now looking back I realize
How hard it is to recognize
Opportunity in disguise
That's some Clamady
So I ain't gonna cuss my luck
Every time a door slams shut
I know a window's gonna open up
Just as long as I believe
Repeat Chorus
You left us here in a cloud of stardust
Disappeared, never even called us
And most of us got over you
But baby, as for me I never quite recovered
Every night I dream about you
It?s killing me to live without you
Baby, do you ever dream of me
Look homeward angel
Your heart knows the way
Down a rearview mirror road
That leads to yesterday
I?m leaving a light on
Won?t you look homeward angel
Look homeward angel
Let me see those eyes of green
A lonely choir sings
Come and lay down in my arms
And rest your weary wings
Before you?re too far gone
Won?t you look homeward angel
On nights like this, do you remember
Midnight kisses sweet and tender
And dancing under southern stars
Summer of ?83, I never quite recovered
Oh, you played guitar and sang love songs to me
The memory still goes right through me
Angel ain?t there one more song for me
Look homeward angel
Your heart knows the way
Down a rearview mirror road
That leads to yesterday
I?m leaving a light on
Won?t you look homeward angel
Look homeward angel
Let me see those eyes of green
A lonely choir sings
Come and lay down in my arms
And rest your weary wings
Before you?re too far gone
Won?t you look homeward angel
Look homeward angel
Let me see those eyes of green
A lonely choir sings
Come and lay down in my arms
And rest your weary wings
Before you?re too far gone
Won?t you look homeward angel
Oh, before you?re too far gone
Won?t you look homeward angel
Oh, look home, look homeward angel
Won?t you look homeward angel
Look homeward angel, look home
What do you want me to say?
What choice do I have anyway?
I'll have to live with the fact
That when you leave you won't look back
While I die inside with every step you take
Go ahead and ride off into the sunset
Don't show your cards, don't show your pain
Keep telling yourself it's either me or your freedom
And leave me a memory that won't ever fade
Like John Wayne walking, John Wayne walking
John Wayne walking away
Feels as lonesome as
John Wayne walking, John Wayne walking
John Wayne walking away
You cut through my life like the wind
Your kiss still burns on my skin
And ever jagged piece of my broken heart still beats
For the day, for the chance
I might see you again
So go ahead and ride off into the sunset
Don't show your cards, don't show your pain
Keep telling yourself it's either me or your freedom
And leave me a memory that won't ever fade
Like John Wayne walking, John Wayne walking
John Wayne walking away
It's gonna haunt me like
John Wayne walking, John Wayne walking
John Wayne walking away
You were larger than life
And God knows how hard I'll try
But I'm never gonna love this way again
It's like John Wayne walking, John Wayne walking
John Wayne walking away
It's gonna haunt me like
John Wayne walking, John Wayne walking
John Wayne walking away
It kills me baby
Just like John Wayne walking away
It's gonna haunt me, yeah
Just like John Wayne walking away
Kills me baby, oh, oh, oh
It's like John Wayne walking away
It's like John Wayne walking, John Wayne walking

You ask who's laying in my bed
Is it really love we're making
Well my heart's hanging by a thread
She's the only reason it ain't breaking
Do you ever cross my mind?
Darling, fact is you still do
That's the reason she is here
Wiping your old memory clear
She's helping me get over you
Helping me get over you
One kiss at a time
'Cause all the pain that we've been through
Still weighs so heavy on my mind
Getting pass the love we lost
That's a lonely bridge to cross
Oh I did what I had to do
I had to find somebody new
Who's helping me get over you
I know you've never ask his name
But in your heart I know you wonder
I'm not much good at playing games
I'm just trying to keep from going under
There's no forever in his eyes
It's not the love that we once knew
Oh and it might be a sin but tonight I've got a friend
Helping me get over you
Helping me get over you
One kiss at a time
'Cause all the pain that we've been through
Still weighs so heavy on my mind
Getting pass the love we lost
That's a lonely bridge to cross
So I did what I had to do
I had to find somebody new
Who's helping me get over you
I did the best that I could do
I had to find somebody new

12 AM We gonna do it again, we gon, we gon, we gonna do it again
{Travis} You ask who's lying in my bed
Is it really love we're making
My heart's hanging by a thread
She's the only reason it ain't breaking
Do you ever cross my mind
Darling fact is you still do
That's the reason she is here
Wiping your old memory clear
She's helping me get over you
{Both}Helping me get over you
One kiss at a time
'Cause all the pain that we've been through
Still weighs so heavy on my mind
Getting past the love we lost
{Travis} That's a lonely bridge to cross
So I did what I had to do
I had to find somebody new
Who's helping me get over you
{Lari} I know you'd never ask his name
But in your heart I know you wonder
I'm not much good at playing games
I'm just trying to keep from going under
There's no forever in his eyes
It's not the love that we once knew
Oh and it might be a sin
But tonight I've got a friend
Helping me get over you
{Both} Helping me get over you
One kiss at a time
'Cause all the pain that we've been through
Still weighs so heavy on my mind
Getting past the love we lost
{Lari} That's a lonely bridge to cross
So I did what I had to do
I had to find somebody new
{Both} Who's helping me get over you
{Travis} Oh I did the best that I could do
I had to find somebody new
Nothing but love
Nothing but time
Baby, I've got nothing
But you on my mind
And I've just got to tell you somehow
I've got nothing if I
Can't make you believe
You're the only thing
That really matters to me
And nothing can save me now
Nothing but love
I was so wrapped up in my own little world
And I left you lonely one too many times
Oh, but my whole world went with you
When I let you walk away
And baby, now I'm here to say I realize
I've got nothing but love
Nothing but time
Baby I've got nothing
But you on my mind
And I've just got to tell you somehow
I've got nothing if I
Can't make you believe
You're the only thing
That really matters to me
And nothing can save me now
Nothing but your love
Is gonna catch me when I fall
I've gotta let you know if I let you go
I've got nothing at all
Nothing but love
Nothing but time
Baby, I've got nothing
But you on my mind
And I've just got to tell you somehow
I gotta make you believe
(I've got nothing if I)
Can't make you believe
You're the only thing
That really matters to me
('Cause you're the only thing that matters, baby)
And nothing can save me now
I got nothing but love
Nothing but time
Baby, I've got nothing
But you on my mind
And I've just got to tell you somehow
I've got nothing if I
Can't make you believe
You're the only thing
(You're the only thing that matters, baby)
That really matters to me
And nothing can save me now
I got nothing but love
Nothing but time
Baby, I've got nothing
But you on my mind
And I've just got to tell you somehow
I've got nothing if I
Can't make you believe
You're the only thing
That really matters to me
(Lari White)
So it begins
Learning the language of poets and thieves
She's crying again
He's making promise no one could keep
They sound so sweet
But they are
Made to be broken
Made to be broken
Even as they are spoken
They are made to be broken
She's nobody's fool
Collecting the hearts of the lovers she's known
But she locks up her own
'Cause hearts were
Made to be broken
Made to be broken
Love's only token
It was made to be broken
No one defends
The spirits of wild horses and children
Made to be broken
Who makes the rules
That tell us by nature we're destined to fail
We wrote them ourselves
And they were
Made to be broken
Made to be broken
Rules were made to be broken
(Liz Hengber/Tommy Lee James)
You can have all the furniture.
You can have the new car.
But that first kiss.
You can't take that from me.
Take the CDs and books.
No, I don't care, they're only things.
But what we shared.
You can't take that from me.
I'm leaving with no regrets.
'Cause I loved you and I'll never forget.
'Cause I loved you and all that we had.
That we once were perfect together.
And that's mine forever to keep.
Oh, you can't take that from me.
You can kill all our dreams.
For tommorow, but I'll still have.
My dreams when I go.
You can't take that from me.
Oh I'm leaving with no regrets.
'Cause I loved you and I'll never forget.
'Cause I loved you and all that we had.
Oh we once were perfect together.
And that's mine forever to keep.
Oh, you can't take that from me
My heart will lead me on.
I won't give up.
'Cause I still have faith, in true love.
You can't take that from me.
There's a silver sliver in the sky
And the stars never seemed so bright
Shining just like diamonds in your eyes
Something sure feels right
Montague and Capulet must have met, ooh, ooh
On a night like this someone comes along
And with just one kiss it's a love so strong
That we can't resist
And we find out why our hearts exist
Baby, on a night like this
It's the most amazing mystery
When you're falling hard and fast
Making a slow motion memory that'll last and last
In your arms, out of the blue a dream comes true, ooh, ooh
On a night like this when your soul's on fire
And your only wish and your heart's desire is
At your fingertips
And you find out why you were born to live
Baby, on a night like this someone comes along
And with just one kiss it's a love so strong
That we can't resist
And we find out why our hearts exist
Baby, on a night like this, ohh
In your arms, out of the blue a dream comes true, ooh, ooh
On a night like this when your soul's on fire
And your only wish and your heart's desire is
At your fingertips
And you find out why you were born to live
Baby, on a night like this someone comes along
And with just one kiss it's a love so strong
That we can't resist
And we find out why our hearts exist
Baby, on a night like this
Baby, on a night like this
Baby, on a night like this
On a night like this someone comes along
And with just one kiss on a night like this
On a night like this when your soul's on fire
And your only wish on a night like this
On a night like this someone comes along
And with just one kiss on a night like this
(Lari White/Chris Waters)
It's been awhile since I've seen you around
You don't come down to the lonely side of town
Since we've been out of touch
I'm not too hard to find
But it doesn't hurt so much
'Cause I spend all my time
Where the lights are low
Where the jukebox plays
The saddest song it knows
Through a smoky haze
Since you've been gone
That's where I go
'Cause everything looks better
Where the lights are low
In the dark I'm just part of the crowd
It's hard to tell who it is I'm there without
In some tall stranger's arms
Your memory's not so clear
I can cry all night long
'Cause no one sees the tears
Where the lights are low
Where the jukebox plays
The saddest song it knows
Through a smoky haze
Since you've been gone
That's where I go
'Cause everything looks better
Where the lights are low
Yes, everything looks better
(Lari White/Chuck Cannon)
I step across the danger line
And feel this crazy heart of mine
Go midnight blue
Somewhere an angel sheds a tear
For all the beauty and the fear
Of loving you
It's true that only heaven knows
The way love comes and goes
But I don't have heaven's eyes
I've seen too many sad goodbyes
Don't leave me lonely
Don't leave me blue
Don't leave me loving you
Don't leave me loving you
Through the shadows of my doubt
I see the love I've lived without
Shine in your eyes
But love can break the truest heart
And leave it in the deepest dark
If the fire dies
It's up to us to tend the flame
Don't let the wind and rain
Keep you from holding on
Baby, please be strong
Don't leave me lonely
Don't leave me blue
Don't leave me loving you
Don't leave me loving you
Don't leave me loving you
Baby, be true
Wondering how our love just slipped away,
Was it something that we didn't say.
Could it be that you need
What I never could have been,
For you, my baby.
Now you're taking your time
To think it through,
That can't be the end for me and you.
On my mind all the time,
I still want you by my side,
Baby...
Bridge:
And I realise (now you're wanting me)
Something deep inside (feeling so good)
Every day and night (how you make me feel)
And I'll be there always.
Chorus:
Right here, right now,
With you, is where I wanna be.
Right by, your side side,
Cos you are the one, you are the one...
Right here, right now,
with you, is where I wanna be.
Right by, your side,
Cos you are the one,
You are the one for me.
There isn't a day when I don't think of you,
And all of the things we do.
If you could see how much you mean to me,
I'd be there always.
Whenever I hear you talk to me that way,
It reminds me of why I wanna stay.
In your arms I feel safe,
I won't ever go,
I'll be here always.
(bridge)
(chrous)
(bridge)
Right here (to hold you),
Right now (to show you)
With you (just to know you),

Right by (forever),
Your side (to hold you),

You are the one (you're the one)
Right here (to hold you),

Right by (forever),
Your side (to hold you)

Forty miles outside of Houston's city limits,
Eldorado with a full tank of gas in it,
It'll take us where it thinks we need to go,
All we got to do is keep it in the middle of the road.
Take me up to Wichita,
Hold me in Niagara Falls,
Rock me in Memphis,
Kiss me down in New Orleans,
Marry me in the Keys,
I don't care where we go,
As long as you take me.
And baby, make a left on exit 98,
My sister told me that the etouffee is great,
Yeah, we could split a cold one to wash it down,
And watch the sunset on the face of a sleepy little town.
Take me up to Wichita,
Hold me in Niagara Falls,
Rock me in Memphis,
Kiss me down in New Orleans,
Marry me in the Keys,
I don't care where we go,
As long as you take me.
Ninety miles an hour,
One kiss every minute,
It's my favorite car,
As long as you're in it.
Take me up to Wichita,
Hold me in Niagara Falls,
Rock me in Memphis,
Kiss me down in New Orleans,
Marry me in the Keys,
I don't care where we go,
As long as you take me.
I know
You`re sneakin` out the back door taking it down the street
And I know
You`re thinking that you got some little secret up your sleeve
But I know
You`ll be back around with your hat twisted in your hand
Beggin` me please
And I bet I let you in again `cause it`s just
One more drop in the bucket
One more tear I`ve cried
One more think I love to hate about you
One more m, m, m, let it slide
That`s the way you do me but when you do it to me
I`m beggin` you to do it to me one more time
Now I know
You only ask for trouble takin` up with a ladies man
But you know
Just the thing to say when the spit really hits the fan
Lord knows
I`m sleepin` with the devil and there`s gonna be some hell to pay
But you`ll find a way
Of making me believe that baby it`s just
One more drop in the bucket
One more tear I`ve cried
One more think I love to hate about you
One more m, m, m, let it slide
That`s the way you do me but when you do it to me
I`m beggin` you to do it to me one more time
You spend my money til it`s gone
But then you rock me all night long
The way you hurt me is a crime
The way you love me is so fine
Lord you make me crazy but when you do me baby
I`m beggin` you to do it to me one more time
One more drop in the bucket
One more tear I`ve cried
One more think I love to hate about you
One more m, m, m, let it slide
That`s the way you do me but when you do it to me
Old tin roof, leaves in the gutter
A hole in the screen door big as your fist
And flies on the butter
Mama baking sugar cookies, we were watching cartoons
Heard her holler from the kitchen
"Which one of you youngens wants to lick the spoon?"
Yellow jackets on the watermelon, honeysuckle in the air
Daddy turning on the sprinkler
Us kids running through it in our underwear
Old dog napping on the front porch, his ear just a twitching
Fall asleep on granddaddy's lap
To the sound of his pocket watch ticking
Oh, oh, it doesn't feel like it was all that long ago
Oh, oh, you can dream about it every now and then
But you can't go home again
Me and my best friend Vickie, set up a backyard camp
Stole one of mama's mason jars
Poked holes in the lid and made a firefly lamp
Me and Jimmy Monroe, sneaking down by the river
I'm still haunted by the taste of a kiss I didn't get
'Cause he was too chicken liver
Oh, oh, it doesn't feel like it was all that long ago
Oh, oh, you can dream about it every now and then
But you can't go home again
There's a blacktop road, a faded yellow centerline
And it can take you back to the place
But it can't take you back in time
Oh, oh, it doesn't feel like it was all that long ago
Oh, oh, you can dream about it every now and then
But you can't go home again
Old tin roof, leaves in the gutter
A hole in the screen door big as your fist
(Lari White/Chuck Cannon)
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
It was the perfect wedding day
Band of gold, dress of white
Handsome groom, blushing bride
Pretty pictures in this album I saved
Now, I fight back the tears
Looking back through the years
Back to when I was your one and only one
But your heart wasn't true
You found someone new
Now, look what you've gone and undone
Our love is something old
Her kiss is something new
And now we live on borrowed time
'Cause all that's left is something blue
All that's left is something blue
Our love is something old
Her kiss is something new
And now we live on borrowed time
'Cause all that's left is something blue
All that's left is something blue
Something old, something new
(Lari White/John Rotch)
I know what it is you're tryin'
When you're tryin' to be so cool
Everywhere you go you're a Romeo
With a smile and a line so smooth
But the trail of hearts lying in your wake
It looks like a six lane interstate
And there's a big, bright, red light telling me tonight
Not to slow down, get my heart out of sight
So you won't get the taste of this, not even a kiss
The fact your middle name is heartache ain't no coincidence
You made a livin' out of lovin' and leavin' 'em to fall apart
So now you better understand you'll never lay a hand on one
Itty bitty little single solitary piece o' my heart
I know what it is you're doin'
With all that cooin' and a wooin'
But you can't fool me, I got a degree
I learned a lot from hard knock schoolin'
Well, I used to jump in wholehearted
Every time a new love started
But it was just a chase, then replaced heart, thrown in my face
Not any more, my love is to good to waste
So you won't get the taste of this, not even a kiss
The fact your middle name is heartache ain't no coincidence
You made a livin' out of lovin' and leavin' 'em to fall apart
So now you better understand you'll never lay a hand on one
Itty bitty little single solitary piece o' my heart
I said now you better understand, you'll never lay a hand on one
High
(Billy Maddox - Paul Thorn - Lari White)
Love, righteous and real
A dream I could touch
A trust I could feel
I had it all and I threw it away
With some stupid move I wish I could take back today
Was I lost was I blind that I couldnt see
What losin' you would do to me.
I mustve been high
To let you walk away, to let you say goodbye
I mustve been high
How could I let you go, darlIn, Ill never know
I mustve been high
Stoned out of my mind.
Time has opened my eyes
These empty arms have made my heart wise
Ill never find a better lover and friend
Im ashamed to admit what a fool Ive been
And I know Ive got no right to be
Begging you to come back to me
I can only plead insanity
Have mercy, baby, mercy.
I mustve been high
To let you walk away, to let you say goodbye
I mustve been high
How could I let you go, darlin', Ill never know
I mustve been high
(Lari White/Chuck Cannon)
If you only knew the way I love you
Don't I wonder what you'd do
Would you look at me and say you love me too
If you only knew
If you only knew I'm dreaming of you
Every night the whole night through
Would you make my wildest dream of you come true
If you only knew
I pretend I'm just a friend
But now and then I wonder what you'd do
Would you love me too
If you only knew
I pretend I'm just a friend
Oh but now and then I wonder what you'd do
Would you love me too
If you only knew
Wonder what you'd do
Would you love me to
Sometimes my life whirls around
The knowledge
That somehow it seems i'm lost
Inside a maze
When i was seven, i needed someone
Someone who'd understand
Then at eleven, nothing could stop me
I was already lost!
Evil and wild, he is
When you look into my eyes
Devil's own child, watch out!
You know they don't tell no lies
You know i've got a meanstreak
And you know that nothing can
Stop me now
Wild at heart! nothing can stop me
And now it's too late, too late
To turn around
I have no hope to make it through alive
I'm not worth it, unholy messiah
I've played the game too well
Now that i see it, unworthy of pity
I have to pay the cost
Evil and wild, he is
When you look into my eyes
Devil's own child, watch out!
You know they don't tell no lies
You know i've got a meanstreak
And you know that nothing can
Stop me now
Wild at heart!
Soon it's over
You know i've got a meanstreak
And you know that nothing can
Stop me now
(Lari White/Kevin Savigar)
Everywhere all I see
People throwin` away love so casually
They must not have what we have found
We`ve built this dream on some solid ground
They say it`s too good to be true love wasn`t meant to last
But when I look into your eyes I know
You know we know we got a good thing
And we won`t let go because
We got it we got it we got it goin` on
And with a little luck and a lotta love
We`ll keep it goin` strong
You and me - me and you
That`s all we need to see us through
Night and day sweet and slow
That`s the way we make this feelin` grow
Even when we`re dancing in the dark I always find that light
Shining in your eyes and I know
You know we know we got a good thing
And we won`t let go because
We got it we got it we got it goin` on
And with a little luck and a lotta love
We`ll keep it goin` strong
We got it we got it we got it goin` on
Let`s keep holdin` tight cause it feels so right
We know we can`t go wrong
The road gets rough but we keep movin`
The music stops but we`re still groovin`
Through it all baby we keep provin` it ain`t a fantasy
What love was meant to be
`cause baby you and me
We got it we got it we got it goin` on
And with a little luck and a lotta love
We`ll keep it goin` strong
We got it we got it we got it goin` on
Let`s keep holdin` tight cause it feels so right
(Lari White/Chuck Jones)
I've got my arms around the sweetest love I've ever found
It's something I'd fight to hold onto
But I'm giving in, this is a battle I can't win
I've done all that I can do
She's still standing in the dark at the edge of your heart
Calling up the way things used to be
And I'm standing in the light, ready to fight
If I could only see the enemy
But, I don't stand a ghost of a chance
Against her memory
Time and time again she fades out and she fades in
Your heart is a haunted place
And when you're loving me now and then I see
(Lari White & Toby Keith)
(R.J. Lang)
We saw the moon in Colorado
Made music in Tennessee
We found the gold of El Dorado
It's so good, making love, you and me
These arms, they will never hold another
These eyes, they are blind to any other
And these lips, no other boy will ever kiss
And this heart, it will always feel like this
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could tell me not to
He sent you from Heaven
Just to make my dreams come true
When he opened the door
That you came walking through
Only God could stop me loving you
Now we struck oil in Oklahoma
And won the Oscar in Hollywood
And climbed the canyons of Arizona
And baby, making love never felt so good
These arms, they will never hold another
These eyes, they are blind to any other
And these lips, no other boy will ever kiss
And this heart, it will always feel like this
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could tell me not to
He sent you from Heaven
Just to make my dreams come true
When he opened the door
That you came walking through
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could stop me loving
(Stephony Smith/Terry Burns)
Love, I watch you sleep and I realize
You're everything I've ever wanted
And now, all of my dreams have come to life
I always knew that you were out there somewhere
And now you're here by my side
I've been waiting for your love, baby
I've held this vision in my mind
I've been waiting for your love, darling
All this time
I was a lonely girl 'til you stepped in my world
So glad I never gave up
Anticipating I've been waiting for your love
Time slipped through my hand, with each grain of sand
I felt you get closer and closer
And hope was all that I had to keep me strong
No one could touch the dream I held inside me
That's why I held out so long
I've been waiting for your love, baby
I've held this vision in my mind
I've been waiting for your love, darling
All this time
I was a lonely girl 'til you stepped in my world
So glad I never gave up
Anticipating I've been waiting for your love
Yeah, I was a lonely girl 'til you stepped in my world
So glad I never gave up
Anticipating I've been waiting for your love
I was a lonely girl 'til you stepped in my world
So glad I never gave up
Anticipating I've been waiting for your love
This was a monster hit for Bing and the Andrews Sisters during World War II.
Bing entered the studio on July 25, 1944, without having seen nor heard the
song. Within 30 minutes he recorded the song, which then sold more than a
million copies and topped the Billboard charts for 8 weeks in 1944-45.
Thge following is as recorded by Crosby and The Andrew Sisters. It deviates from the original Cole Porter Version. The original doesn't contain the parenthetical elements.
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze,
(And) listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
Don't fence me in.
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies.
On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise.
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
(And) gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
(And I) can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in.
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze

Send me off forever but I ask you please,
Don't fence me in
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise.

Well, I should have been home hours ago
I always lose track of the time
I'll just hold up this wall while I try to recall
A thought from the back of my mind
Oh yeah I remember, it began with a wink
When you caught me looking at you
So don't ask me if you can buy me a drink
I know what you're trying to do
Lead me not into temptation
I already know the road all too well
Lead me not into temptation
I can find it all by myself
I've the best of intentions, Lord, I mean to be good
And stick to the path I should go
But seems the harder I try, the further I slide
'Til I'm lost down that same dead end road
Now you're a good lookin' thing, and that must be the best
Proposition that I've had all day
But there's no need for subtlety, darlin', just get thee
Behind me and I'll show you the way
Lead me not into temptation
I already know the road all too well
Lead me not into temptation

Love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Give it, give it, give it, give it
(Lari White/Chuck Cannon)
If wishes were horses
I'd ride a fast one
If wishes were wings
I'd fly wild and free
If wishes were trains
I'd be on the last one
If wishes came true
You'd be loving me
If wishes were blue skies
I'd never get rained on
I'd walk in the sun
Whenever I please
If wises were dreams
I'd dream the same one
Over and over
Of you loving me
I whisper your name
On each star I see falling
That old wishing well
Gets each penny I find
And every year I blow out every candle
And close my eyes
And wish you were mine
Oh if wishes came true
(lari white)
Yeah, I got one foot on the highway
One foot on that old dirt road back home
I got one foot on the highway
One's on that old dirt road back home
And I know either road I travel
(Michael Noble)
Well, there's rain on the window and there's wind at the door
But, I ain't gonna worry about love no more
There's some broken dreams washed up on the shore
But, I ain't gonna worry about love no more
Ain't gonna worry about love (or what it's all about)
Ain't gonna spend another night tryin' to figure it out
Or waste another minute wonderin' (what is it for)
No, I ain't gonna worry about love no more, no more
There's some photographs hangin' up that I'm takin' down
'Cause I don't wanna think about love right now
You see, I'm finally standing on some steady ground
And I don't wanna think about love right now
Don't wanna think about love (or what it's all about)
Don't gonna spend another night tryin' to figure it out
Or waste another minute wonderin' (why or how)
No, I don't wanna think about love right now
Now, I ain't sayin' I'm givin' up on love for good
But I'm in no hurry to trouble my mind
I'd be wise to take a little time
So, don't go lookin' over here with them eyes of blue
'Cause I ain't fallin' in love with you
I got people to see, I got a lot of things to do and
I ain't fallin' in love with you
I ain't fallin' in love with you (no, it wouldn't be smart)
I ain't lettin' you anywhere around my heart
You know, I'd have to be crazy (what you takin' me for)
Oh, I ain't fallin' for it, don't wanna think about it
I'm no angel
I'm far from it
Yeah, when push comes to shove
I can rise above it
I get down
But I ain't easy
I spoil myself
So it's so hard to please me
Baby, I'm ready, willing and able
And if you feel like a man, lay your cards on the table
I dont gamble
But I take chances
And if love is a game
That a fool romances
Then I'm a fool
One more time
So start makin' your move
Before I change my mind
Baby, I'm ready, willing and able
And if you feel like a man, lay your cards on the table
So get your ass in gear and do it for me babe
Uh, get down
Well, you're different
To say the least
Yeah, you've got the power
To change the nature of the beast
Well, only time
Will really tell
But, on down the line
I know I'm still alive and well
Baby, I'm ready, willing and able
So get your ass in gear and do it for me babe
I never waited so long
I'm not expecting a thing
Something tells me you'll come back to me
I spend my winters alone
It gets so cold when you're gone
Something tells me you'll come back to me
But sometimes when it rains
There's no time to do it again
The real me wants to savor it all
In my memories yeah!
I kno i made you afraid
I've been wounded too long
something tells me you'll come back to me
I've got nothing to show
I'm sitting here all alone
something tells me you'll come back to me
but sometimes when it rains
there's no time to do it again
the real me wants to savor it all
in my memory yeah!
it's known that i'll always respect
And i'm missing I'm lost in the day
but maybe it's better if i left you
a memory far far away
it's everything that i breath it's everything that i need
it's everywhere that i go it's everyone that i know
but sometimes when it rains
there's no time to do it again
the real me wants to savor it all
in my memory yeah!
but sometimes when it rains
there's no time to do it again
the real me wants to savor it all

(Lari White/Chuck Jones)
She's worked her way from Paris, Texas to Moscow, Alabam'
Tended bars and tended babies from Rome to Bethlehem
She's been the checkout queen of Abilene
And busted flat somewhere bewteen
The pieces of her broken dreams
She's got scars on her heart and dirt on her hands
But like the stars on the water she was made to rise above
And she's done a lot of living just to find a little love
She won't be your mama, she won't be your little girl
She belongs to the road she's on, she's a woman of the world
She belongs to the road she's on, she's a woman of the world
Born and raised in South Dakota
She's never crossed the county line
With three young kids and a full-time job
She just never finds the time
The days are short and the nights are long
Since he left her all alone
But she's learned to make it on her own
It's a hard way to go, but she's gonna shine
Like the stars on the water she was made to rise above
And she does a lot of living just to find a little love
And she's somebody's mama, and she's someone's little girl
But she belongs to the road she's on, she's a woman of the world
(Rod Temperton)
Always and forever, each moment with you
Is just like a dream to me, that somehow came true
And I know tomorrow, will still be the same
`cause of we`ve got a life of love
That won`t ever change and
Every day, love me your own, special way
Melt all my heart away, with a smile
Take time to tell me, you really care
And we`ll stand tomorrow, together (always forever love you)
I`ll always love, forever (always forever love you) forever
There`ll always be sunshine, when I look at you
Something I can`t explain, just the thing that you do
And if you get lonely, phone me and take
A second to give to me, that magic you make and
Every day, love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away, with a smile
Take time to tell me, you really care
And we`ll stand tomorrow, together (always forever love you)
I`ll always love you
Ever; ever; loving you, is the thing that I plan
For a very long time (always forever love you)
Me and you, you and me, be as one
Love is together
Loving you
Forever, forever, forever
Ever love you
I always wondered how i'd live without you
if you ever said goodbye
would i just live in dreams about you
with tears in my eyes
would i fall to pieces
when you go
i always wondered how i'd live without you
now i know
i'm doing alright
i'm strong enough to make it on my own
i'm not afraid of the night
i'm learning how to face it alone
i've been good at holding on
now i'm learning to let go
i always wondered how i'd live without you
now i know
i always wondered what i'd do without you
i found out today
i got up and made a cup of coffee
and time just slipped away
i dressed up and went out on the town
to places you'd never go
i always wondered what i'd do without you
now i know
i'm doing alright
i'm strong enough to make it on my own
i'm not afraid of the night
i'm learning how to face it alone
i've been good at holding on
now i'm learning to let go
i always wondered how i'd live without you
now i know
i dress up and go out on the town
to places you'd never go
i always wondered what i'd do without you
now i know
i'm doing alright
i'm strong enough to make it on my own
i'm not afraid of the night
i'm learning how to face it alone
i've been good at holding on
now i'm learning to let go
i always wondered how i'd live without you
now i know
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now am found
Was blind but now I see
'Tis Grace that taught
My heart to fear
And Grace my fears relieved
Now precious dear
That Grace appear
The hour I first believed
When we've been there
Ten thousand years
Bright shining as a sun
We've no less days
To sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now am found
Was blind but now I see
I once was lost
But, now, now I'm found
I once was blind
I'm tired of sleeping my life away
I'm tired of wasting my time
just scared of this feeling of hurt
it's awaking.
I'm tired of wishing my fears away
I'm tired of touching your skin
Awaiting the tip of the tip
it's amazing.
Take your bow and whistle
I heard my father sing
The answer lies in front of us
so let your work begin
it shivers, it quivers
I'm tired of thinking Â'bout yesterday
I'm tired of reading the news
the wavelength that weakens the weak
must be dieing.
I'm tired staying awake all night
I'm tired that struggle within
completely beating me up
it's amazing.
Take my bow and whistle now
angered by that lies
the answer lies in front of us
tearing up the tide
it shivers, it quivers
My lover discover
slow motion devotion
imagine that ill wind
relation sensation
When you got it thrown back
slip back and you shiver for the one track other track
and my lover for the motion covering
throw it back
I'm tired of sleeping my life away
I'm tired of wasting my time
just scared of this feeling of hurt
it's awaking.
I'm tired of wishing my fears away
I'm tired of touching your skin
Awaiting the tip of the tip

Twice the work for half the pay
Twice as smart, but afraid to say
I`m just here to provide the t & a
Because I`m a woman
He`ll get the gig no matter how hard I bust my ass
I better shimmy if the boss man makes a pass
And if I`m in the big chair baby better watch out for broken glass
Because I`m a woman
And if my skirt`s too short then I`m asking for it
That`s how the story goes
I`m guilty if I lock it up and I`m
Guilty if it shows and I
Live with a fear that no man every knows
Because I`m a woman
And if I`m strong I`m a bitch
And if I`m free I`m a whore
And if I`m home with my babies you won`t find me in the pages of "cosmo"
`cause honey that ain`t nothin` but a bore
But I have a dream I am a thing
Of beauty and power
Give me love, give me good love and I
Blossom like a flower
Because I`m a woman
There are places in this world I can`t even show my face
I got to walk behind the man I got to keep my place
And they don`t even see all the good gone to waste
Because I`m a woman
And somewhere on this day I will not even be born
When they detect the weaker sex from my mother`s womb I will be torn
The man-child gets the love and I get the scorn
Because I`m a woman
And if I`m strong I`m a bitch
And if I`m free I`m a whore
And if I`m home with my babies you won`t find me in the pages of "cosmo"
`cause honey that ain`t what they`re lookin` for
But I have a dream I am a thing
Of beauty and power
Give me love, give me good love and I
Blossom like a flower
Because I`m a woman
Because I`m a woman
(Lari White/Austin Cunningham/Chuch Cannon)
This is love, this is love, this is love, Hey!
Welcome to the danger zone, and the wildest ride
That you've ever known
Blind curves up ahead, baby hold on tight
Put your seatbelt on
It's what you're looking for, it's what you're running from
Where logic fails and reason comes undone
Baby here's the deal
It's a hand of steel, in a velvet glove
This is love, this is love
Are you ready are you tough enough
And it's bigger than the both of us
Hey! This is love
And this is where we dig down deep
For that buried treasure, it don't come cheap
We've shared the taste of the sweetest wine
Now we're laying our hearts down on the line
There's a seventh Heaven in your eyes
I want it all, no compromise
Baby you and me, this is where we see
Just what we're made of
This is love, this is love
Are you ready are you tough enough
And it's bigger than the both of us
Hey! This is love
It makes you laugh, it makes you cry
Lays you low and makes you high
But we'll keep falling, falling
Till we rise above
This is love, this is love, this is love
This is love, this is love
And it's bigger than the both of us
This is love, this is love
Are you ready are you tough enough
Hey! This is
Hey! This is love
(Austin Cunningham/Chuck Cannon)
Boy you're doing something to my heart
It's kinda hard to define
It's what a neon light does for Saturday night
You do for this heart of mine
It's what the French did for the kiss
What the Italians do for wine
It's what a real slow dance does for true romance
You do for this heart of mine
That's what you do
Whenever we're together
And even when we're far apart
That's what you do
Knock me over with a feather
That's what you do for my heart
It's what James Dean did for cool
What Marilyn did for fine
It's what the Beatles did American kids
You do for this heart of mine
Oh, yeah
That's what you do
Whenever we're together
And even when we're far apart
That's what you do
Knock me over with a feather
That's what you do for my heart
It's what the sunset does for the beach
What the wind does for the chime
It's what the full moon does for any fool in love
You do for this heart of mine
That's what you do for this heart of mine
That's what you do
Whenever we're together
And even when we're far apart
That's what you do
Knock me over with a feather
That's what you do for my heart
That's what you do for my, what you do for my heart
That's what you do, that's what you do, that's what you do
(Lari White - Chuck Cannon)
You ain't ever been loved right
You ain't ever felt it so strong
You've decided love's a losin' fight
Just another lonely night
But you got it so wrong
You ain't ever had the real thing
You ain't ever held a heart that's true
You ain't ever been loved right
The way I'm gonna love you.
Somebody broke into your heart and left you hurtin'
Stole the light from your eyes
You've locked the door on love and pulled the curtain
You've given up and I know why.
You ain't ever been loved right
You ain't ever felt it so strong
You've decided love's a losin' fight
Just another lonely night
But you got it so wrong
You ain't ever had the real thing
You ain't ever held a heart that's true
You ain't ever been loved right
The way I'm gonna love you.
You ain't ever been loved right
You ain't ever felt it so strong
You've decided love's a losin' fight
Just another lonely night
But you got it so wrong
You ain't ever had the real thing
You ain't ever held a heart that's true
You ain't ever been loved right
The way I'm gonna love you.
You ain't ever been loved right
(lari white/chuck cannon)
There's a chill hanging in the air
We've been silent all night long
I'm lying here, you're way over there
Pretending there ain't nothing wrong
Ain't there something I can say, something you can do
Something's getting in the way, baby
We can't let it tear us in two
You've got to hold on to me and I'll hold on to you
We've got to hold on to each other
You know, next to love there ain't nothing worth holding onto
So, baby, hold on to me and I'll hold on to you
We might have to stay up all night
We may have to stay home all day
We've gotta find a way to make it right
Or good love is gonna slip away
And, I'd get right down on my knees
To keep from losing you
When it comes to times like these
In my rear view
I watch you watching the twilight
Behind the telephone lines
With nothing to prove,
Or to assume
Just thinking that your thoughts
Are different than mine
In my rear view
I watch you
And I gave you your life
But you give me mine
I see you slowly swim away
As the light is leaving town
To a place that I can't be
But there's no apologies
Just go on
Just go on
There're still so many things
I want to say to you
But go on
Just go on
We're bound by blood that's moving
From the moment that we start
From the moment that we start
I see you perfect little eyes
Watch the shadows of the clouds
On the surface of the ocean
Out the window of a plane
I get nervous when I fly
I'm used to walking with my feet
Turbulence is like a sigh
That I can't help but over think
What is the purpose of my life
If it doesn't have to do
With learning to let it go
Live vicariously through you
You could do the same
It's the least you can
Because it's a lonely little chain
If you don't add to it
So go on
Just go on
There's still so many things
I want to say to you
But go on
Just go on
We're bound by blood and love
From the moment that we start
Just go on
Just go on
There're still so many things
I want to say to you
Just go on
Just go on
We're bound by blood that's moving
From the moment that we start
(Bobby David/David Gillon)
Monday mornin', 6 a.m.
Time for me to go to work again
But all I want to do is
Lay around and love on you
7: 30, but I don't care
What you're doing is gonna keep me here
'Cause all I want to do is
Lay around and love on you
Lay around and love
Lay around and love on you
You've got me so turned on
Honey, I can't turn you loose
Hope nobody calls
Got the phone off the hook
We're gonna try everything in the book
All I want to do is
Lay around and love on you
Lay around and love
Lay around and love on you
You've got me so turned on
Honey, I can't turn you loose
It's so much fun just foolin' around
I'm gonna be here when the sun goes down
'Cause all I want to do is
Lay around and love on you
Yeah, all I want to do is
