David (Hebrew: דָּוִד, דָּוִיד, Modern David Tiberian Dāwîḏ; ISO 259-3 Dawid; Strong's Daveed; beloved; Arabic: داوود or داود Dāwūd) was, according to the Hebrew Bible, the second king of the United Kingdom of Israel and, according to the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke, an ancestor of Jesus. David is seen as a major Prophet in Islamic traditions. His life is conventionally dated to c. 1040–970 BC, his reign over Judah c. 1010–1003 BC,[citation needed] and his reign over the United Kingdom of Israel c. 1003–970 BC.[citation needed] The Books of Samuel, 1 Kings, and 1 Chronicles are the only sources of information on David, although the Tel Dan stele records "House of David", which some take as confirmation of the existence in the mid-9th century BC of a Judean royal dynasty called the "House of David".
David is very important to Jewish, Christian and Islamic doctrine and culture. In Judaism, David, or David HaMelekh, is the King of Israel, and the Jewish people. Jewish tradition maintains that a direct descendant of David will be the Messiah. In Islam, he is known as Dawud, considered to be a prophet and the king of a nation. He is depicted as a righteous king, though not without faults, as well as an acclaimed warrior, musician, and poet, traditionally credited for composing many of the psalms contained in the Book of Psalms.

Seger was singing words I could believe in
And "Main Street" was my street that night
So I called up Samantha and asked her the
chance of us
Running out 'neath the moonlight
Well, She's not with me now, she can always
be found
When I rewind the radio dial
And like it was then I feel her on my skin
And I'm back there for awhile
Chorus:
So I labor for hours 'cause I know the power
Of a song when a song hits you right
Pouring my soul into stories of life
Hoping someone'll hear one tonight
Maybe my voice will cut through the noise
And stir up an old memory
And out of these piano keys
Comes the sound, the sound of a million dreams
My 18th summer I was a cocky up-and-comer
Cranking up "Born To Run"
Turned left out the drive with the pistons open wide
And I came back a Prodigal son
My spirit was broken, she threw the door open
I love you not, I told you so
When I hear, "Mama Tried," I still break down and cry
And pull to the side of the road
Boiled peanuts anytime, painted on a plywood sign
Pull to the shoulder and buy a sack
An old man with a dirty face swears they're the best you'll taste
Grows 'em fresh in that red dirt field out back, yeah, that's a fact
Grace is a mechanic's wife and their toe-head boys are her whole life
Sews patches on blue jeans night and day
Never does much for herself, doesn't dream of fame or wealth
Just a ballpark bleacher and a place to pray
Some are called to preach the gospel, string fence in Colorado
Some are born to raise a family
Swing a hammer at a nail, haul bricks or carry mail
Go to college, Duke or Yale, but me
I got songs for sale
There's not a lot of tread on my tires, In some spots you can see the wires
Just hope they make it to the next town so I can sing
I'm still learning lots of lessons, I'm still calling it a profession
Travelin' 'round strummin' these guitar strings
Some are good at mending bones, fixing drinks and telephones
Some are born to wear pin stripes on their sleeves
Swing a hammer at a nail, haul bricks or carry mail
Go to college, Duke or Yale, but me
I got songs for sale
I see it in a lot of places
I read it in a lot of faces
Some are called to preach the gospel, string fence in Colorado
Some are born to raise a family
Swing a hammer at a nail, haul bricks or carry mail
Go to college, Duke or Yale, and me
Yeah me, I got songs for sale
Sunset on a chapel, when I close my eyes I see her and she's prayin'
Ripples in the holy water, kneelin' in the light that is fadin'
Askin' for forgiveness 'cause she knows that it is me that she is breakin'
Chorus:
She rides on the edge of no tomorrow in a rusty El Camino
She flies as wild as the wind on the border of Laredo
She rides away
Questions in the dark
She rides away
Angel flyin' with my heart
Mystery surrounds her, she's the moonlight in the daylight, ain't no answer
Blacktop on the sand while the desert just goes on and on forever
She told me when I met her she would leave like it was written in red letters
Angel flyin' with my heart
Repeat Chorus
I was the only one down at Kiva Dunes
who didn’t drive a car that wasn’t cool and new
just a baby blue parking lot Gremlin
not exactly a magnet for the women
'till i hung that surfboard out the back
for tips I caddied at the local course
at night i mixed boat drinks down on the wharf
flirtin with the college girls getting my barefoot wet out in the world
fell in love 100 times
time was mine and life was easy
just like those ocean breezes
coolin off the afternoon
wasn’t long underneath the moon
we had a beach fire and a pile of wet clothes
layin back watchin the skin glow
gotta smile when i think about those tan bod bikini top
so hot
summer job days
the end of august came
and the crowds went home
beaches deserted and the girls were gone
yeah i waved goodbye to the time and place
and that two lane back to the interstate
i look back i still look back when...
time was mine and life was easy
just like those ocean breezes
coolin off the afternoon
wasn’t long underneath the moon
we had a beach fire and a pile of wet clothes
layin back watchin the skin glow
gotta smile when i think about those tan bod bikini top
so hot
The sun is shining but it's still cold
This January is bitter as I've ever known
You're always smiling, there's no reason to be
You're always chipper at least that's how it seems
Chorus:
Well, Catherine I can't give you anything
Much more than this couple hundred dollar ring
And promises ain't never been my strength
But you are all I'll ever need
You are all I'll ever need
Your hair's a mess, clothes don't match
You laugh and say, "Baby, ain't I quite the catch?"
But all those material things, they don't matter anymore
You're mine forever whether we're rich or we're poor
Repeat chorus twice
All I'll ever need, yeah
All I'll ever need, yeah
Yeah, you're all I'll ever need
It's hard to find the perfect time to say something
you know, is gunna change everything
Living with the shame,
it ain't nothing like the pain that I saw on her face
Now me and my pile of things
that she threw out the window,
Drowning next to me
No seven years of good cant hide the one night I forgot to wear that ring
So let it rain, let it pour, she don't love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
Every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve,
Let it come down on me, let it come down on me, let it rain
last thing I remember was the unfamiliar taste of someone on my lips,
It's to late to turn around,
When the shades start coming down,
The guilt you feels the last thing on your mind
So let it rain, let it pour, if she don't love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
Every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve,
just let it come down on me, let it come down on me, let it rain
So let it rain, let it pour, if she don't love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve, just let it come down on me,
let it come down on me, let it rain,
I can hear you downstairs crying on the phone
Telling someone that I'm here but you still feel all alone
Maybe we were too young
Goodbye, I've gotta go
I can hear the baby waking up
Got to get back to the life I know
I should have never believed him
Maybe I should just leave him
Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
And I know that it's been hard
And it's been a long time coming
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
No one thought I was good enough for you
Except for you
Don't let them be right
After all that we've been through
'Cause somewhere over that rainbow
There's a place for me
A place with you
In every frame upon our wall
Lies a face that's seen it all
Through ups and downs and then more downs
We helped each other off of the ground
No one knows what we've been through
I know I shouldn't but I
I guess you're surprised to hear from me, I hope it's not to late to call
So you have nothin' left to say, then i'll just talk
I'm the one who broke your heart, I'm the one who let us down
I'm the reason that we're not together now
I hear you found somebody else, but baby I can't help myself
(Chorus)
I know I shouldn't miss your touch
I know i shouldn't lie awake
Thinkin I could win ya back
Prayin now it's not to late
Would you believe me if I said I still love you?
I know I shouldn't but I do
Tell me what's up with your new friend
I know I shouldn't even ask
It's not fair to interfere
I had my chance
I told you that we were through (That we were through)
But I've never gotten over you
(Chorus)
If heavens where your soul gets fed
The your hell is an empty bed
But it’s never hard to keep it full
There ain’t too many arms you have to pull
‘Cause you think that you’re getting love
But they know they’re just getting some
And deep inside you know it’s true
But you don’t date believe it, do you?
Do you?
You just lay it down like a quarter on the railroad track
If it sticks to the wheel you’re never gonna get it back
It won’t do you no good to change your mind
‘Cause it already feel off somewhere down the line
Now all the boys call you when they’re looking for a good time
Looking for a good time
These days they call it casual
Well, that just means they’ll leave when they get full
Yeah, they say you’re cool ‘cause you don’t care
But in the morning you always cry if they’re not there
And you think if they could only see you now
But I swear they’d do it anyhow
‘Cause they’ll say anything to play the part
But they don’t give a damn about your heart
Your heart
You just lay it down like a quarter on the railroad track
If it sticks to the wheel you’re never gonna get it back
It won’t do you no good to change your mind
‘Cause it already feel off somewhere down the line
Now all the boys call you when they’re looking for a good time
Looking for a good time
You say you never tell the boys how bad you need it
But every scream is your prayer
You say, “I love you” and you swear you didn’t mean it
‘Cause you both agree this would go nowhere
Someday I hope that you get tired
Of waking up with the thieves and liars
Maybe you’ll go searching for the truth
The kind that ain’t written on a phone booth, no, no
You just lay it down like a quarter on the railroad track
If it sticks to the wheel you’re never gonna get it back
It won’t do you no good to change your mind
‘Cause it already feel off somewhere down the line
Now all the boys call you when they’re looking for a good time
Looking for a good time
It's killin me to write the word goodbye
I've wadded it up and tossed it a thousand times
We both know the reason
There ain't nothin to explain
But I know that my leavin
Will spare us both the pain
Chorus
(Desiree), I can't hold you any longer
(Desiree), You love his money more than me
Now that taxi's at the gate
I guess all that's left to say
Is in teardrops at the bottom of the page
I love you Desiree
It'd be easier to leave if I were mad
But it's hard to lose the best you'll ever have
And to write this note to you
Was the hardest thing you do
But not as hard as bein a poor boy
Who can't afford a girl like you
Chorus
(Desiree), I can't hold you any longer
(Desiree), You love his money more than me
Now that taxi's at the gate
I guess all that's left to say
Is in teardrops at the bottom of the page
I love you Desiree
Chorus
(Desiree), I can't hold you any longer
(Desiree), You love his money more than me
Now that taxi's at the gate
I guess all that's left to say
Is in teardrops at the bottom of the page
I love you Desiree
God, I love you, Desiree
I just can't take it anymore
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
Love his money more than me
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
Love his money more than me
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
Oh, you love his money and you love it more than me
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
Yeah, I was just a fool who couldn't see
(I won't be around for your goodbye)
Well, the turn signal's clicking
And the seconds are slipping away
Just a little bit more of this turnpike
And so much to say
The airport traffic, it slows us to a still
I turn the radio down
And leave one hand on the wheel
Well I don't know what to tell you
What do you wanna hear
You see, guys like me, we just disappear
You deserve someone who will never leave
But, girl, the last few days are the best we'll ever be
Isn't every goodbye a chance to become
A bittersweet memory for someone
Don't you ever look back with regret
Share with me a moment for all time
In a corner of your mind
If you've never seen New England in the fall
Should you find yourself up there, give me a call
But before I make my way into the crowd
Could I share one last kiss while we're still in the clouds
Isn't every goodbye a chance to become
A bittersweet memory for someone
Don't you ever look back with regret
Share with me a moment for all time
In a corner of your mind
Isn't every goodbye a chance to become
A bittersweet memory for someone
Don't you ever look back with regret
Share with me a moment for all time
In a corner of your mind
It's gonna be a long, hot summer
The heat's gonna come for sure
Making you love me might take longer
But down here everything is slow
Sheets are blowin' on the clothesline
Honeysuckle makes it smell so sweet
The way they feel when ya lay down on 'em
You can't get from no machine
Chorus:
I know you come down every season
Waste time on your grandpa's farm
I ain't tryin' to talk you out of leavin'
A little sun won't do no harm
Go ahead and put your summer dress on
The sky's bright and the water's fine
And if you don't feel like swimmin'
We can find a bank and wet a line
'Cause I know up there in the city
Ain't no space to run 'round in
Down here we got dirt streets
Your bare feet can't help but settle down in
Repeat Chorus
Grandpa's farm
I'll show you around if you come outside
Ain't no need in hidin' yourself anyhow
I'll show you around if you come outside
Ain't no need in hidin' yourself anyhow
I'll show you around if you come outside
Ain't no need in hidin' yourself anyhow
Repeat Chorus
Yeah, I can show you around
Yeah, I can show you around
If you come outside
When the rooms are crowded eyes will wander
Never knowing what they'll find
I came in waiting on another
Now you're all that's on my mind
Beneath a chorus of conversation
What no one else can see
Is a gamble between two strangers
That's taken a hold of me
Chorus:
So, let go of your halo
Break free for a while
Tell me that you're ready
And into the night
Wrong or right
Before it slips right through our hands
Let me catch you while I can
My courage rises, I walk over
Your curled smile calms me down
Words come easy, I keep you laughing
I should stop but I don't know how
Repeat Chorus
When the midnight turns into daylight, maybe we'll both move on
But who knows, maybe tomorrow lonely will be long gone
Be long gone
Repeat Chorus
Usually take one last pass through town
Stop the car, and touch the ground
Watch those street lights swayin' in the breeze
Decorated storefronts
Rusty ol' gas pumps
Try to fill my mind up with somethin' 'fore I go
Picture postcard memories
Well, they always make for good company
I don't know no town like the ol' town
Even when the miles are many, I feel like I'm still around
Deep inside me like a ring's through an oak tree
There's somethin' 'bout a Sunday when I'm gone
That keeps me turnin' home
Standin' here beneath these billboard lights
Takes me back to those autumn nights
Hometown bleachers packed real tight as we marched down the field
My feet would swing from a dropped tailgate
Out on Airport Road real late
No one could walk a line too straight, but usually made it home alright
And glory days I can't relive
Stories I'll never forget
I don't know no friends like the ol' friends
I never seem to laugh now like I did with them
But deep inside me, a piece of my history
I hear their voices even though they're gone
And it keeps me turnin' home
Never twice the same way does it start
Sure enough, she stole my heart
On that ol' gym floor spinnin' 'round and 'round one night
And though we both tried real hard to wait,
We sure did love the taste
Of the sweet love bein' made, and prayin' I got it right
Graduation came and went
Along with all the time we spent
I don't know no love like the first love
When I think about the best times, she's the one I think of
Deep inside me, oh the taste is bitter sweet
I see her smilin' even though she's gone
And it keeps me turnin' home
I know what you think, here we go again
The same waste of potential that I’ve always been
I’ve been given chances and I’ve burned some bridges up
Had a million excuses why I’d self-destruct
But this time around
I’m a little more ready now
I’m a little bit older, a little more figured out
This time around
I see what I want and I’ve had a taste
I’m aware of the sacrifice its gonna take
I ain’t afraid of failure ‘cause I ain’t supposed to win
It took a while to find it, but I’m back again
But this time around
I’m a little more ready now
I’m a little bit older, a little more figured out
This time around
Yeah, this time around
I’m a little more ready now
I’m a little bit older, a little more figured out
Yeah, this time around
I’m a little more ready now
I’m a little bit older, a little more figured out
This time around
Yeah, this time around
Wakin up in the sand, sunburn on your nose
You scream and squeezed my hand
When your east Kentucky toes hit the Atlantic
Summertime in Brookly, Mustard on your lip
I knew I loved you by the bottom of the 5th
I never planned it
A million perfect moments go rushin through my brain
Our first trip to the ocean, your first time on a plane
When you look over shoulder, baby, you can choose
To remember me however you want to
That's how I'll remember you
The dress that you were wearin, soakin up the stains
I can still see your mascara, though I can't recall the pain
Of what came after
You were even beautiful tellin me goodbye
Maybe my version of the truth is just a lie
What Does It Matter
What Does It Matter
A million perfect moments go rushin through my brain
Every time I smell October you're standing in the rain
When you look over your shoulder, baby, you can choose
To remember me however you want to
That's how I'll remember you
I've forgot the bitter, the winter's just a blur
I savor the sweet as if the summer's all we were
And ever will be, oh, and I still see
A million perfect moments go rushin through my brain
Every time I touch the ocean, anytime I taste the rain
When you look over your shoulder, baby, you can choose
To remember me however you want to
That's how I'll remember you
Sometimes you see someone
When you’ve already got someone
Still you wonder what if they had come
Along, a long time ago
You know that they’re feeling it too
But there ain’t nothin’ you gonna do
Except for imagine who you might have been with them
They’re not tryin’ to make it last
Just enjoying each second as they pass
‘Cause as these little brick houses are flying by
‘Neath the flickering of the railcar lights
I let myself get lost in your eyes a while
Not another passenger in here can see
How in my mind you’re holdin’ me
While outside the cold makes snow out of the rain
But in here were just strangers on a train
Start to smile, I turn my head
It’s kinda like a spider’s web
I just can’t seem to sake you off
So I look your way again
You’re staring off trying to pretend
Like you haven’t noticed me at all
But don’t feel guilty it don’t mean much
The truth is the two of us ain’t never gonna touch
‘Cause as these little brick houses are flying by
‘Neath the flickering of the railcar lights
I let myself get lost in your eyes a while
Not another passenger in here can see
How in my mind you’re holdin’ me
While outside the cold makes snow out of the rain
But in here were just strangers on a train
Brakes grind, I gotta go
Reach down pick up my coat
Afraid that you might stop me in the aisle
Watch my breath rising in the air
I can’t do nothing but just stand there
As you press your hand against the windowpane
And I wave to my stranger on a train
Verse 1
so this is how it ends
this is where it all goes down
this is what I don't love you feels like
It ain't the middle of the night
and it ain't even raining outside
It ain't exactly what i had in mind.
For goodbye
Chorus 1
at a red light in the sunshine
on a Sunday nothing to say
don't even try
some are coming home
some are leaving town
while my worlds crashing down
on a Sunday in the sunshine at a red light
Verse 2
I thought she was going to say
something about that couple kissing
crossing the street
or something about this beautiful day
but she just looked me in the eye
said its over didn't try to lie or pick a fight
I might have seen it
coming that way
Chorus 1 Again
Bridge
theres a mama
calming down a little baby
in the backseat in front of me
theres an old man dressed
in his Sunday best
just waiting on green
but i cant see getting past
Chrous 2
this red light in the sunshine
on a Sunday nothing to say
don't even try
some are coming home
some are leaving town
while my worlds crashing down
on a Sunday in the sunshine at a red light
(Verse 1)
November's almost over,
The gentle winter's on the way.
Still I sit here on this balcony,
and smoke my brain away,
Waiting on that phone to ring.
Wondering which day that it will be.
(Chorus)
Oh Carrie I pray one day you'll go back home,
To the warmth of Southern Georgia where you belong,
And leave all the pain you've felt from me,
here in Missouri.
(Verse 2)
Oh you were just a young girl,
and I swore I could change.
Every day that you forgive me,
is just another one you'll waste.
You came here in search of something true.
I hope like hell your searching isn't through.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
It's hard to think that everything around her.
To know that won't be happy ever after.
I ain’t never seen the snowfall on the Delta
Like the one that’s gonna cover all of New York tonight
But it sure do remind me of those miles and miles of cotton
Long ago but not forgotten, yeah, that’s a southern man’s field of white
Yeah, I turned my back and walked away
But lately I ain’t seen a sunny day
Been thinking ‘bout rolling on back home
Back where I belong
So won’t you put me on that riverboat Queen
Let the side wheels spin
‘Cause I ain’t seen that muddy water town in I cant remember when
All these years they played a trick on me
No, I ain’t the man I used to be
Tonight I feel like Mississippi
People round here, Lord they move in such a pace
I’m just another face, lost in the crowd
There’s a sweet sound being sung down in Dixie
Now and again it gets me when I get to feeling down
Yeah, I turned my back and walked away
But lately I ain’t seen a sunny day
Been thinking ‘bout rolling on back home
Back where I belong
So won’t you put me on that riverboat Queen
Let the side wheels spin
‘Cause I ain’t seen that muddy water town in I cant remember when
All these years they played a trick on me
No, I ain’t the man I used to be
Tonight I feel like Mississippi
All these years they played a trick on me
No, I ain’t the man I used to be
Tonight I feel like Mississippi
I'll follow you like a bridge to the end of the world
I take you with me everywhere I go girl
But you ran from love like a bullet from a gun
Lead powder burned my heart deep as this desert sun
You never told me it was over
You never told me anything at all
Now I'm out on the road and asking myself why
I never told you that my love was true
Well, I thought you knew
Yeah, I thought you knew
Heard it from the motel man, you were here two nights ago
That means I'm closing in on my last chance to let you know
That I'm sorry girl for the things I guess I didn't say
But I'll keep searching for you 'til my dying day
Now I'm out on the road and asking myself why
I never told you that my love was true
Well, I thought you knew
I thought you knew I meant forever
Even though I never said the things I needed to
But I'm out on the road and asking myself why
I'm out on the road and asking myself why
I never told you that my love was true
But I thought you knew, yeah I thought you knew
Girl, I thought you knew, yeah, I thought you knew
As the sunlight fades and the sky turns black from blue
Half Mile Hill, eight years old
Standing on top with world below
Me and my dad
Talking man to man
Suitcase packed, he was moving out
Said, it's no one's fault, but I had my doubts
And I have them still
Chorus
You can see the ball fields
Watch the cars go round the courthouse
See the sun go down
Where the street lamps glow
On those checkerboard roads
Wishing I could fly like a cut-string kite
Tapping on the floor of heaven
Is anybody listening
Half Mile Hill, seventeen
Tailing the summer, Angie and me
Kicking beer cans off the side
One last time
She was wildcat tough, I was scarecrow thin
We were thick as thieves til the bitter end
Trying to make time stand still
Up on Half Mile Hill
Chorus
You can see the ball fields
Watch the cars go round the courthouse
See the sun go down
Where the street lamps glow
On those checkerboard roads
Wishing I could fly like a cut-string kite
Tapping on the floor of heaven
Is anybody listening
Hey all, you lovers and leavers
Stuck in-betweeners
Loners and stones
Old drunks and dreamers
Rumbling and stumbling
Always looking for something
Past that no trespassing sign
You can see the ball fields
Watch the cars go round the courthouse
See the sun go down
Where the street lamps glow
On those checkerboard roads
Wishing I could fly like a cut-string kite
Tapping on the floor of heaven
Tapping on the floor of heaven
Is anybody listening
(Is anybody listening)
Up on Half Mile Hill
Is anybody listening
She said, "California," as a tear fell down her cheek
"Small town Missouri just ain't the life for me."
Waved goodbye to mom and dad, and all her friends
In that '97 Mustang, that we both lost it in
I can't recall the day I'd finally had enough
Chasing my father's dream and never of growing up
I turned in that uniform before I ever played a game
With a junior college scholarship in a white trash town upstate
You never know which way the road is gonna go when it bends
And all I know is what I'd give today to feel that way again, yeah
I made the most of no degree here selling cars
On the Westside of St. Louis where most the rich folks are
From time to time I hear about some star you met
And just how close you've come but haven't made it yet
It gets me thinking 'bout the way it was and all we could've been
Wondering if you ever wish you could feel that way again, oh, and feel that way again
You never know which way the road is gonna go when it bends
And all I know is what I'd give today to feel that way again
I cannot lie sometimes when I come back to town
I head out to the river and roll the windows down
Listen to that Mississippi running through the night
Let it wash away the years and bring you back here by my side
Let it wash away the years and bring you back here by my side
Again, feel that way again
I wanna feel that way, I wanna feel that way again
I can hear you downstairs crying on the phone
Telling someone that I'm here but you still feel all alone
Maybe we were too young
Goodbye, I've gotta go
I can hear the baby waking up
Got to get back to the life I know
I should have never believed him
Maybe I should just leave here
Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
And I know that it's been hard
And it's been a long time coming
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
No one thought I was good enough for you
Except for you
Don't let them be right
After all that we've been through
'Cause somewhere over that rainbow
There's a place for me
A place with you
Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
I know that it's been hard
And it's been a long time coming
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
In every frame upon our wall
Lies a face that's seen it all
Through ups and downs and then more downs
We helped each other off of the ground
No one knows what we've been through
Making it ain't making it without you
Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
I know that it's been hard
And it's been a long time coming
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
I'm about to come alive
She's a little complicated
She'll make her mind up just to change it
The kind of girl that keeps you waiting, waiting around
She likes to get her toes done bright red
She's always reapplyin' her lipstick
The muddy riverbank she's the first in, and the last out
She's got something I can't figure out
That everybody's talkin' 'bout
She got the blue jeans painted on tight
That everybody wants on a Saturday night
She got the mood ring, she's never the same
She's sun one minute then she's pouring down rain
And she'll do whatever she wants
And when she moves every jaw's gonna drop
And I do but I don't want her to stop
I want, I want, I want
Whatever she's got
I want whatever she's got
Tell your mind before you thought it
What you thought your plan was park it
To figure out where your heart is so twisted up
Have you spendin' every weekend
And every penny you've been keepin'
Just to figure out what she's thinkin' when you're thinkin' it's love
Cause she got the blue jeans painted on tight
That everybody wants on a Saturday night
She got the mood ring, she's never the same
She's sun one minute then she's pouring down rain
And she'll do whatever she wants
And when she moves every jaw's gonna drop
And I do but I don't want her to stop
I want, I want, I want
Whatever she's got
Yeah, I want whatever she's got
She's got me hangin' on the ledge
On the edge of a kiss
All I ever wanna do is this
She got the blue jeans painted on tight
That everybody wants on a Saturday night
She got the mood ring, she's never the same
I want, I want, I want, I want, I want
She got the blue jeans painted on tight
That everybody wants on a Saturday night
She got the mood ring, she's never the same
She's sun one minute then she's pouring down rain
And she'll do whatever she wants
And when she moves every jaw's gonna drop
And I do but I don't want her to stop
I want, I want, I want
Whatever she's got
I want whatever she's got
She's a little bit complicated
That's alright
Doesn't matter I'll keep on waiting
For whatever she's got
