The Very Thought of You

Verse 1
The very thought of you makes me feel really good
There is a smile on my face
My heart is at a good pace
Whenever I think of you
The very thought of you makes me wonder if things are real
So I take a test
And I pinch myself
Whenever I think of you
The very thought of you keeps me warm when I am cold
You're like a large blanket
And a cup of hot chocolate
Whenever I think of you

Verse 2
The very thought of you keeps me from living in the past
I can open my eyes
And I can move forward
Whenever I think of you
The very thought of you causes me not to remain calm
I just jump for joy
Because I know I am lucky
Whenever I think of you
The very thought of you makes me feel strong again
I can take on challenges
And be a winner
Whenever I think of you

Verse 3
The very thought of you cools me down when I get heated up
You're like an Arctic breeze
And you keep my temperature steady
Whenever I think of you
The very thought of you prevents me from lying to others
I put myself in their position
And reconsider my thoughts
Whenever I think of you
The very thought of you causes me to lose my train of thought
I ask myself where my mind is
But I do not know
Whenever I think of you

Chorus
The very thought of you creates adventures in my life
There is always something that I can do
And it's all because of you

It's My Turn

Verse 1
You used to know what it took to put a smile on my face
Lately you've been doing nothing but disappointing me
I asked you if you wanted to talk
But you refused
Now what am I suppose to do?
My head is spinning round and round
And going from side to side
I need to escape before it's too late

Verse 2
They say letting go is the hardest thing you will ever do
But to me, it is as simple as breathing
I know when I walk out the door you won't cry or feel sorry
If you do, I will not stop to turn around
I have made my final choice
I had the courage to stand up for myself
And say I have had enough
I'll never regret what I'm about to do

Verse 3
I've made a lot of mistakes ever since I've been with you
But on other occasions, you were the one who played the fool
It got even worse when you constantly made the same mistakes
I felt so ashamed of myself
Because I was involved with someone like you
Fortunately, those days will be behind me
I want to live my life without you
Even being friends would be a disaster
Don't put the blame on me because you had time to change

Bridge
I'm not saying "See you later" or "So long"
That's not going to happen
I'm finally in charge
So I'll be making my move

Chorus
It's my turn to walk away
I am not going to be the one left behind
Don't think about stopping me
I will not allow you
It's my turn to change
So I'll be saying goodbye

This Time

Verse 1
I want you back here with me
You've been gone for such a long time
I am sorry that I pushed you away
Please find it in your heart to forgive me
I should have known what I was doing was wrong
Unfortunately, I can't turn back time
But now I know I won't make the same mistake again

Verse 2
Give me the benefit of the doubt
I will not disappoint you
If you choose to listen to me
You won't regret it
I'll give you an honest answer to any of your questions
I know you won't always be satisfied with the truth
But at least I'm not lying to you

Verse 3
I've never asked you to reconsider your decisions
But I know you should think about this one
I hope you are willing to take a chance on me
Just know that I am not a risk anymore
What I say to you is the real deal
Don't think I am playing a game

Bridge 1
I never treated you with respect
Whenever you had something to say
I always told you to be quiet
But all of that is going to change

Bridge 2
We can work things out together
Only if you are willing to try
I assure you, this is not a scheme
I do not want to lose you once again

Bridge 3
If I fall, I won't pull you down with me
I'm going to take responsibility for myself
Always blaming you won't solve my problems
It just creates a distance between us

Chorus
This time will be different
I'm telling you the truth
This time will be different
That is my promise to you

Lay It Down

Verse 1
I was sitting on the bus, listening to a conversation
About a guy who is estranged from his wife
For the first time she ran away from him
Leaving him all alone
He said he's going after her with a gun in his hand
On any given day, at any given moment
Many husbands and wives kill their very own spouses
Many don't know what they are doing
While others know that it is wrong
To them, it is a way of settling the score

Verse 2
People often feel lost and scared
It is like they are trapped in a box
They try to find a way out
They keep searching everywhere
They might feel like they don't fit in
Sometimes they don't care about anything
They don't know that help is out there
And that some people care about them
They are overwhelmed with emotions
And all they do is surrender
As tears fall from their eyes, they pick up a gun
They press it against their body as they reach for the trigger

Verse 3
They say kids can be cruel
And sometimes that is true
They keep taunting others that do not have any friends
Outcasts are at the end of their ropes
They just can't take anymore pressure
They are backed into corners day in and day out
They are tired of all the name-calling
And with all the endless fights during recess
With a desperate attempt to break away from ridicule
They pack a gun in their school bag
Always wondering if they'll ever use it

Chorus
That isn't the things to do
There are many ways that you can solve your problems
Just don't use a gun
Please lay it down
You will only make matters worse
Once you start to fire bullets
I only hope you make the right choice
Please lay it down

Are We There Yet?

Verse 1
You said that you'd make me happy
You promised me a life full of laughter
Yesterday I cried
All I feel is pain
You told me that you knew a perfect place
All I had to do was follow your lead
So I travelled along right behind you
I really need to get the hell out of this place
I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't leave
I've placed my future in your hands
You told me that this could take some time
How much longer do I have to wait?
I'm asking "Are we there yet?"
And all you say is "Almost"

Verse 2
Take all my troubles away
Give me more sunshine
I'm sick and tired of the rain
I can't guarantee that I'll be more patient
You're better off winning the lottery

Verse 3
I know I'm asking a lot of questions
But I just can't help myself anymore
My past must remain behind me
I'm afraid it might take control of me
You're the only one who can help me
That's why I'll be one step behind you
As days go by, I'm more anxious
Tell me that we're getting closer

Chorus
Are we there yet?
I'm asking you
Are we there yet?
I really need to know right now

I Hope You Dance

Verse 1
I hope you know
That I love you with all my heart
I hope you see all the beauty that you possess
You are unique
And I hope you appreciate that
May you never take like for granted
Live each day to the fullest

Verse 2
I hope you take time to rest your mind
And save up all the energy you have inside
I know that you'll eventually get scared
Let courage help you to erase your fears
May you never hold any grudges
Be kind to everyone you meet

Bridge 1
I hope you dance
Let the music inspire you
I hope you are filled with happiness
Let your face be covered with smiles

Bridge 2
I hope you dance
May you always have your health
I hope you dance
May you never have any regrets
I hope you dance throughout your life

Chorus 1
I hope you dance
I hope you have the time of your life
Let laughter always be with you
Let all your troubles wash away
I never want to see a frown on your face
It would be very painful to see
That someone I care for is not happy

Chorus 2
I hope you dance
Dance to the rhythm of your heart
Move gracefully and with confidence
Let your body lead you into the sunset
I never want to see you shed any tears
It would be very painful to see
That someone I care for is not happy

Chorus 3
I never want you to feel lonely
It would be very painful to see
That someone I care for is not happy

Working Day And Night

Verse 1
Tom always wakes up at the crack of dawn
He knows that he has a long day ahead of him
And just before he quietly goes out the door
He kisses his wife and kids goodbye
And says he loves them very much

Verse 2
He arrives at work and gets out of his truck
His boss says "Good morning, Tom. Get your a-s-s over here!"
He is handed a sheet of paper with tasks to complete
"How am I going to get these duties done?"
Is what goes through his mind

Verse 3
Things could have been different for Tom these days
Only is Sarah and him had finished high school
But they moved out on their own
And brought two kids into this world
He promised that he'd work hard
Now he's living up to it

Bridge 1
He's working day and night
He's working to earn every penny

Bridge 2
He's tired but he keeps working

Chorus 1
He's working day and night to put food on the table
To place a roof over his family's head
And to provide clothing for them to wear

Chorus 2
He's working day and night
He wants to provide the best for his family
He loves them more than anything in this world
He's trying his hardest to keep them content

She's just ordinary
Her presence is welcomed
We all thank her for what she's done

Shine

Verse 1
The day is gone
Darkness fades in
But you don't have to be afraid
You just need courage that will help you along your way
If you look inside, you will find what you're looking for
Everything you didn't know that you had before
You can smile all you want
And you can laugh all you want
You can be the brightest ray of light

Verse 2
I know you'l guide yourself in a good direction
You always know when to slow things down
And read all the signs
You have to know the kind of person you are
Or else you're going to spin around and crash and burn

Bridge 1
People will always try to pull you down
What goes around may sometimes come around
People will try to slow you down
The power inside of you will help you become stronger

Bridge 2
Don't quit without putting up a fight
You'll only be letting yourself down
Don't quit without putting up a fight
There's always a chance that you'll succeed

Bridge 3
People will always try to pull you down
Stab you in the back and twist the knife around
People will try to slow you down
They will only achieve once you give in to them

Bridge 4
If you're aware of your surroundings, then you'll be just fine
Trust your instincts to prevent yourself from being knocked down
Shine brighter than all the stars in the sky
Go with the flow, feel the vibe
Be optimistic

Chorus
Shine every day, throughout your life
This is your moment in the spotlight
Don't worry about tomorrow
You will be happy and safe wherever you are

Still Breathing

Verse 1
Beaten down and all tied up
In the coldness of January
I became fearful of everything that surrounded me
I could have sworn that I didn't have an ounce of strength
So I was stunned when I stood up
Being able to walk away was something
I thought I could never do

Verse 2
I pretend that everything's fine
But some things aren't
It's what I do when I don't want to know what's really going on
I thought my life would be easier
Once the past was placed behind me
All I do is complain every day and night
And I am starting to annoy the hell out of me

Bridge
Sometimes I'm so lucky to be alive
But I rarely realize it
I always think about the hard times
While I push all of the good stuff aside

Chorus 1
I am covered with many scars
My heart has been bruised one too many times
All of that is not important to me
All that really matters is that I'm still breathing

Chorus 2
I am covered with many scars
I have been exposed to harsh conditions
All of that is not important to me
All that really matters is that I'm still breathing

Chorus 3
I am covered with many scars
Most will heal while some will remain
All of that is not important to me
All that really matters is that I'm still breathing

Deep In My Heart

Verse 1
Do you think your friends know
What's going on with us?
I think they'd be shocked if they learned
You were constantly lying to me
They have been misled of the image you created
Our perfect relationship has been a sham ever since the beginning
I just can't deny the fact that we are living a lie

Verse 2
Yes, I think your friends know
What's been going on between us
They are probably stunned to learn
That we have been endlessly fighting
If they are angry at both of us for lying to them
They have every right to be
Since they trusted us completely
I just can't ignore what I'm feeling inside

Verse 3
I just couldn't go on living the way I do
Changes had to be made
The truth had to be told
And now nothing will be the same
Admitting that you don't love me was hard

Chorus 1
Deep in my heart
I truly know that you do not love me
Even though you say you do
Your actions tell another story

Chorus 2
Deep in my heart
I truly know that you do not love me
You always say you do
But you never show it

Chorus 3
Deep in my heart
I truly know that you do not love me
The words you say have no meaning
The things you do say everything

Chorus 4
Deep in my heart
I truly know that you do not love me
You say you can't live without me
I know it's not the truth

All of Me

Verse 1
I've been asking myself a lot of questions lately?
Unfortunately, I don't have all of the answers
You and I have been growing closer since we met
And I fear that we will soon grown apart
You and I come from different worlds
Maybe we were never meant to be

Verse 2
Should I let my brain help me out
Or should I let my heart lead the way
Either way I just might end up with the same problem
There's pressure on me
And I need to get rid of it
I am breaking into a hundred different pieces

Bridge
All of me wants to let you go
All of me wants to make you stay
I am torn
All of these feelings I have for you
Aren't making things easier
I only want to come up with the perfect solution
I was about to let you walk out the door
Until I felt an urge
I had to reconsider my decision

Chorus
All of me wants to hold you
And all of me wants to leave you
All of me wants to tell you how good you make me feel
All of me needs to know that you will always be safe
I am torn between all of my emotions for you

Soon She Will Be Gone

Verse 1
You and her were once close
Like two peas in a pod
You lived for her
And she lived for you in return
You always made her proud
By doing everything that you were told
Any disagreement you had was never opened for discussion

Verse 2
Expectation were set high
But you always performed well
Disappointing her was the furthest things from your mind
You had your hopes and dreams
And she had hers as well
Fear was the thing that kept you from discovering yourself

Bridge
Soon she will no longer be in your life
You can breathe a sigh of relief
You will have the freedom to make your own choices
Today's the rest of your life

Chorus 1
You thought that one of these days
She would come to realize
That you were no longer a child
You have grown into a man

Chorus 2
Soon she will be gone
And her voice is what you won't hear
And that's when yo can begin to live your own life
You make up for what you've missed

Chorus 3
Soon she will be gone
And her voice is what you won't hear
And that's when pressure will ease off of you
You make up for what you've missed

Together We Stand

Verse 1
We are different in many ways
But that does not weaken our bond
It only makes us stronger
We respect each others' individuality
I gave you my word
And I will live up to it
My love for you is always true

Verse 2
Honesty and trust are important
As well as being helpful in any way possible
Some people envy us
But they don't know what we have is attainable
I gave you my word
And you'll be held next to me
My love for you will last forever

Bridge
Together we stand, together we fall
Together we laugh, together we cry
Together we run, together we walk
Together we smile, together we frown
Together we grow, together we share
Together we strive, together we fail

Chorus 1
Together we stand through thick and thin
In good times and bad
Together we stand through triumph and failure
In sickness and health

Chorus 2
Together we stand through thick and thin
In good times and bad
Together we stand through triumph and failure
In sickness and health
Together we stand through harmony and tension
For better or worse
Together we stand throughout the years
We give ourselves to each other

Allow Me

Verse 1
It's hard on the body when it's not being taken care of
While your mind is somewhere else
Then you realize that you've been neglecting yourself
And how you can reverse what's been done
But sometimes going backwards may be more damaging
It is a risk that can be worth taking
But what happens when more problems arise
And you just don't know what you really should do

Verse 2
Do you believe that everything happens for a reason
And nothing is ever random
I could be living proof of that
Because you truly need a friend
I don't want to turn you into a believer
I just want to take your pain away
Sometimes it can be hard to ask someone for help
But it's even harder to keep all your fears inside

Bridge
I am not leaving
So don't you think about pushing me away
Your feelings are similar to a roller-coaster
They're always going up and down

Chorus 1
Allow me to help you out
If you're not strong enough you can lean on me
Allow me to always be there for you
When it hasn't been your day, week, month or year

Chorus 2
Allow me to help you out
Please don't be afraid of my presence
Allow me to always be there for you
When you feel the need to be close to somebody
Allow me to change your life

How Do You Like Me Now?

Verse 1
I woke up at six in the morning
Just to prepare your breakfast
I know you've got a busy ahead
I made some bacon and scrambled eggs
As well as french toast with cream cheese
There's no coffee because the machine won't start

Verse 2
There's a lot of dust on the furniture
And the carpet is still wet
The house smells worse than a landfill
If your mother planned a surprise visit
I'd bet my last dime that she'd surely drop dead
She'd be too disgusted to keep breathing

Bridge
Well maybe this is one of my phases
That I'm putting you through each day
There's no need to look into the mirror
The person who resembles you the most is me

Chorus 1
Your entire breakfast has been in the fridge for a long time
I think the food's expired
I forgot to go grocery shopping
How do you like me now?

Chorus 2
I would say that the cleanest place would be the kitchen
Even though there's ants marching all around
I've become more like you
And I'm getting better everyday
So how do you like me now?

Chorus 3
Would you agree or disagree that I have become
More like you in a lot of ways?
Would you do anything about it?
Would you try to change yourself
Or would you try to change the person I've become?
How do you like me now?
How do you like me now?
How do you like me now?

Gossip Girl

Verse 1
Gossip girl tells many juicy stories
Some so interesting, you hang on every word
She's got the latest scoop
Inside information is her speciality
You can say that she's a pro

Verse 2
You can hide anything you don't want others to know
But she will find a way to tell anyone she knows
Not everything she says is true
Don't take anything at face value
She'll keep on gossiping as long as someone lends an ear

Verse 3
She knows who's dating, who broke up
She knows who's angry with whom, who started rumours
She talks behind everyone's back
No on is immune from her verbal attacks

Bridge
Gossip girl talks about others but herself
No one realizes that
She draws attention to whatever she says
None of it is ever about her

Chorus
Gossip girl knows what's hot, what's not
She can create buzzy about any topic
She's a walking tabloid exposing what she knows
What she thinks and the way she would like things to be

Today

Verse 1
Today is going to be like any other day
I'm going to brush my teeth, take a shower
Grab a bite to eat and ride on the city bus
As I'm travelling, I will stare aimlessly at the sky
And think about this rut that I'm in
Wondering if things will ever change

Verse 2
I'm making a promise to myself today
It'll be to try something new
I'm tired of living every day like the day before
It's very mundane
I'm looking for something more out of life
Something that is real and different
It's all up to me to make tomorrow better than today

Bridge
Today is just like any other day
Today is like yesterday
I'm making a promise to myself today
I'm looking for something more out of life
My future is not entirely up to me
But certainly I'll have an influence on it

Today is going to be just like yesterday
As well as last week, last month
And even last year

Weekend

Verse 1
It's a Friday afternoon
And we're anticipating the weekend
it officially begins when the clock strikes 5
As we get closer, people become more excited

Verse 2
Don't think of yesterday
Concentrate on the present
Congratulate yourself for working hard all week
Take a dip in the pool
Or treat yourself to a massage
Spend your time on the dancefloor

Bridge 1
Weekend...laughter...party...fun...music

Bridge 2
Loosen your body
Just take it slow
There's no need to be uptight
We have 55 hours of craziness and bliss
We're going to have a good time
It's the weekend!

Chorus
It's 5 o'clock!
The weekend has arrived
Turn your stereo louder
Honk your horn
Change into something comfortable

Rewind To Yesterday

Verse 1
Some girl I saw every day is gone for good
She's never coming back
Everyone was talking about what her father did to her
He raped her repeatedly

Verse 2
Priests were universally trusted
Now some have been exposed as criminals
Many of them have abused children
They inflicted pain and suffering when they sinned

Verse 3
The economy is not performing well
Many insiders thought the sky was the limit
Business executives have been committing fraud
Some say it's like an infectious disease

Honest men weren't hard to find
It seemed like we'd live forever

Let's Go

Verse 1
What are we doing in this place?
If home is where the heart is
This aint it
Things change, so did we
We're wide awake now
Fireworks went off in our heads
It signalled that we've been living here for too long
And that we were no longer welcomed
We decided to leave this city
Once we're gone, we are never looking back

Verse 2
I've got your back
And I know you've got mine
That's why we're still friends
Friends till the end

Bridge
C'mon, let's go, let's go
Let's go, c'mon, let's go

Chorus 1
Let's get into the car and drive away
We'll be further away than we are today
Let's go

Chorus 2
Let's pack our bags and run away
We'll be further away than we are today
Let's not waste time
Let's fly away

Let's go

If...

Verse 1
If you start to cry
I won't be there to comfort you
If bad things occur in your life
Then you deserve every bit of it
You act all high and mighty
You believe that you're better than everyone

Verse 2
If you become homeless
I won't provide you with any food or shelter
I'm sure you've got friends who can help you
If you don't, then you'll be forced to survive on the streets
You're a self-righteous bitch
Now you'll be the one who will suffer

Chorus 1
If you start to cry
I won't be there to comfort you
If you drown yourself in tears, I won't care

Chorus 2
If you ever become lonely
And need someone who can talk to
Don't call me
I will never care about you

Big Mouth

Verse 1
Nobody wants to be your friend
They stay as far away from you as possible
You're not someone who people respect and trust
You're a selfish, pathological liar

Verse 2
How does always being alone feel?
If you're depressed about it
Then that's what you deserve
Some would confide in you
Then you went against your word
You made promises that you never intended to keep

Bridge 1
You lied every day without a single regret
You showed no remorse
None at all

Bridge 2
Gossip came out of your mouth
Many rumours were started by you
It seems you didn't have anything better to do
Spreading secrets and lies hurt many people around you
But you don't care, you never did
You know nothing about honesty and empathy

Chorus
Liar...deceiver...stealer...big mouth
These words speak true of you

Inside Wants Out

Verse 1
My inside is like a dynamite
And anything can set it off
My anger, frustration, and sadness have the power to do so
I feel a war waging inside of me
And many of my soldiers are dying quickly
I'm trying to keep things under control
But my outer body is becoming weaker

Verse 2
Sometimes I lock myself inside my home
Whenever I feel tremors on my body
The barricades and brickwalls within me
Are tumbling down ever so quickly
My temperature is soaring through the roof
No measures that I take are full proof
My heart is pounding, my body's turning blue
Nothing that I go through is ever new

Chorus
My inside desperately wants out
At any time, it can escape
It feels like it's been trapped
So it goes through great lengths to be released

Same Place, Same Things

Verse 1
Waiting at a bus stop
Eating a fortune cookie
Smoking a cigarette
Reading a newspaper
Just a stranger among strangers
Looking at my watch as the bus arrives
sitting at the back as usual
If not at the sides, then in the middle
Glancing around, sometimes staring; which is rare
Waiting patiently as I get closer to my destination

Verse 2
Thinking about what happened yesterday
Recalling last week's events
Sometimes talking to myself
Looking to see if anyone noticed me
If they did, I just turn my head away
Assuring myself I'm as normal as anyone can be

Bridge
Travelling along the same route
Opening the same doors
Eating the same food day after day
Drinking the same beverages
Having the same songs being stuck in my mind
Basically following the same schedule without interruption
Seeing and avoiding the same people
Wondering if anything will change

Chorus
Same place, same things
Same location, same stuff

No Need To Argue

Verse 1
My heart knows I haven't been honest with you
But my mind tells me what I'm doing is natural
I started to feel uncomfortable
And the person who I was seeing felt that something was wrong
I thought my doubts would soon disappear
But they kept resurfacing each time I looked at you

Verse 2
I decided to tell you what was going on in my life
Even though it wouldn't be the best thing that you've heard
I could have not told you anything at all
But I felt that you deserved much more than that
I told the person I was with what I intended to do
Then I left without searching for a reason to stay

Bridge
When I finally told you that I was seeing someone
Any chance of us reconciling completely washed away

Chorus
There's no need to argue
Let's discuss our problem calmly
Listen to what I have to say to you
I know that you are angry with me
And you have every right to be
But don't jump to conclusions without knowing all the facts

Gone Again

Verse 1
I'm starting to get suspicious
I'm starting to have doubts
I ask myself what you do whenever I'm not around
I don't consider myself to be paranoid
I am only concerned
But is it for me or for you?

Verse 2
I want to search your apartment
But I don't know what I'm looking for
I want to ask you some questions
But I don't want to accuse you of being guilty
Something is telling me that I should go ahead
But what will I tell you if I find out that nothing's going on?

Bridge 1
Maybe I'm just reacting to all the many hours I spend alone
Maybe I'm starting to believe that I'm on to something
Maybe you're in trouble and you don't want to tell me
What I do know is that I'm feeling insecure about our relationship

Bridge 2
You're gone again and I'm left alone
I don't know what I should do
You're gone again and I'm left alone
I miss you as each hour passes by
You're gone again and I'm left alone
Why am I not use to this?

Chorus
You're gone again
And that's all I can think of
You're gone again
Why do you have to leave all the time?
I only hope you aren't doing anything that might upset me

Winners Never Quit

Verse 1
Winners never quit
They're very ambitious and extremely confident
Winners never quit

Verse 2
They set realistic goals for themselves
And try to achieve them
They don't stop until they've completed what they set out to do
That's how determined they are

Verse 3
Somebody might think that a glass containing water is half-empty
But winners have a different point of view
They see the glass as being half-full
That's how optimistic they are

Bridge
Winners are far from perfect
But they reach and sometimes surpass their potential
And if it means racing around the world
Then that's what they will do
They don't dwell on negativity
They get a boost by being positive
Striving to excel is what they do every day

Chorus
Winners never quit
They push themselves to reach new heights
They keep on trying until they succeed
Winners never quit

From Now On

Verse 1
Today is the beginning of my new attitude
I am sick and tired of all the stunts you always pull on me
I have tried to ignore you
But it's impossible
You're like an itch I keep on scratching
You will finally get the chance to see who you really are

Verse 2
If I confront you with all the bad things you've done
I am sure you will deny all of them
Why can't you just admit that you treated me with no respect?
What are you so afraid of?
I guarantee that you will not drop down and die
You think that you can boss me around
But all of that is going to change

Bridge
People like you make the world an unsafe place
You need to know what you are doing is wrong
You keep on kicking people even when they're down
You have to change yourself right now
If you don't, I'll do it for you
You're like an itch I keep on scratching
You will finally get the chance to see who you really are
You think that you can boss me around
But all of that is going to change

Chorus
From now on, I will treat you the same way
You treated me every day
From now on, you will get what you give
So don't be surprised if it seems harsh

Your Woman

Verse 1
Her face is symmetric
That's why it's so nice
Her eyes, nose and lips look perfect
I held her hand and it felt very soft
She takes good care of her skin

Verse 2
She's got the body of a supermodel
And nothing was added to it to make it better
You can say that she's one hundred perfect natural
I only hope that she will stay that way
Many other ladies have tried to look like her
Some almost do but that doesn't count
She doesn't change for anybody but herself
She's in control and knows where to go

Verse 3
I don't know what she sees in you
You're the opposite of who she is
I could be wrong
I really don't know what goes on behind closed doors

Chorus
Your woman us crazy and beautiful
She is young and restless
Not to mention bold and funny
If only she was interested in me
Your woman is kind and generous
She is cool and outgoing
Not to mention reliable and smart
If only she was interested in me

On My Way To You

Verse 1
We have been apart for much too long
That's why I'm on my way to you
I miss the smile on your face when you get excited
That's why I'm on my way to you
There's nothing anybody could do to keep me from seeing you
There could be a tornado, hurricane or a landslide
But I'll still be on my way to you

Verse 2
I'm feeling nervous
I only hope that I don't embarrass myself by saying I love you
I won't go rushing into anything
I don't know if you feel the same way
I want us to catch up on what we've missed
I don't want our time together to be wasted

Verse 3
When we're together, there will be no worries
No more sadness and no more troubles
I can't wait until you're in my arms again
I will hold you tighter than I've ever held you
And I promise I won't let you go
You'll always be safe once I'm with you

Chorus
I'm on my way to you
I will be there very soon
I'm on my way to you
I will see you soon

What Have I Done To Deserve This?

Verse 1
Everything is different now
The places I visited no longer welcome me anymore
There's signs on the doors with my face on them
I'm not allowed to enter
And if I do, I'll be escorted out

Verse 2
If they're looking for someone to blame
Then it should be you
Because you're more guilty than I've ever been
I don't lie and deceive
I'm honest and forthcoming
I've tried to tell others but they don't want to listen
They treat me as if I'm invisible
I really want to know what have I done to deserve this

Bridge 1
I always minded my own business
I lived my life as a good citizen
And now everybody treats me like I've done something wrong

Bridge 2
I'm not saying I'm perfect
I have made mistakes
But none so big that causes anyone to dislike me
What have I done to deserve this?

Chorus
Nobody talks to me
They point and stare at me
I really want to know what I have done to deserve this
Everybody laughs at me
They throw things at me
I really want to know what have I done to deserve this
Is this a nightmare because it sure feels like one
I try to get myself out of it but I'm trapped
I ask for help but people only turn away
They want nothing to do with me
Even though I haven't done anything to cause them to reject me

Party of One

Verse 1
You could have been smiling and laughing
But you chose to cry and scream
Things could have been simpler than they are now
But you chose to make them hard
Loving you was like a battle
I had to protect you from you
I grew tired of being your bodyguard
I could no longer control your actions

Verse 2
I weighed my options heavily
I knew there was a choice to be made
Leaving you was not easy
But staying was more difficult
In the end, I'll be more content
I am finally free from you
I couldn't be in your life
You're too destructive

Verse 3
Now I know how strong I am
Because I had the courage to walk away
As painful as it was
I felt that I needed to stay
You said that you loved me
I knew it was a lie because you still harm yourself
I don't regret the decisions I've made
It's time for me to celebrate

Chorus
Once I left, I was feeling guilt
I wondered how I could ever leave you in your time of need
My heart soon became silent
And I started to clear my mind
I did what I had to do
It was now or never

From Me To You

Verse 1
I don't know how to describe the feeling that I get
Whenever you're around me
I am completely at ease
I have no worries
It seems like all my troubles disappear
Everyday with you is a beautiful day
I cherish each moment you and I share together
This friendship we've created is special
Because it reflects the love you've given to me

Verse 2
You helped me with the problems I faced
My deepest fears were erased
I began to have a new outlook on life
How beautiful if nothing more
Than to see you waiting at my door
I've never received love like this before
You're the one who changed my life
You gave me inspiration to be the best that I can be
I know that for every door that closes
One more opens
I am surrounded by many possibilities

Chorus
I truly thank you for loving me
I truly thank you for believing in me

Outro
I'm thanking you from the bottom of my heart for loving me
I'm thanking you from the bottom of my heart for accepting me
I'm thanking you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me
I'm thanking you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me

Love Come Down

Verse 1
Love why are you hiding from me?
I need your help so I can see
I've been told if I can't say something nice
Then I shouldn't say anything at all
But lately I've been doing just that
I've tried to bite my tongue but that only causes pain
I'm afraid I'll do something insane
If I do, what positive thing will I gain?

Verse 2
I find that being good is hard
And that being bad is simple
I want to turn myself around
But I need a little push from you
I've been told that what you give is what you get
If I continue, I'll get caught in a net
I know that I can be saved
I'm down on my knees begging for your aid

Verse 3
I judge people based on appearances
And if I'm really mean, I'll say it to their face
I tell them that they are a disgrace
When I'm done, I move to another to put them in their place
Sometimes I don't realize what I do
I end up being the real fool
I know that I'm a person with many flaws
But don't give up on me
Don't let me fall

Chorus
Love come down and spread yourself around
If you hear me please make a sound
I don''t want to be consumed by hate
I need you now to change my fate

Hold my hand and I'll lead you home
Darkness is approaching
But don't be afraid
When you're with me you'll feel safe
I will protect you from danger

Hold my hand and I'll lead you home
I'll be by your side so you won't be alone
You'd be running home if I wasn't with you
Since we're together we don't have to hurry

Hold my hand and I'll lead you home
You won't be intimidated by the night
Walk with me and you will not be harmed
You won't have to worry about anything

You'll be with me and nothing will go wrong

Drive

Verse 1
Hold the wheel and keep your eyes on the road
Roll down the windows
Let the breeze circulate around the car
I don't know where we're going
And I really don't care
I want to get there as soon as possible

Verse 2
Play a CD on the stereo
Turn the volume up
I want to hear every word
The tank is full so we don't need to stop for gas
We can drive throughout the night
Just remember to turn the headlights on

Bridge
Drive me to distant places
I chose you because I know that I can trust you
Drive me around the world
Today is the day when we venture out on our own

Chorus

Drive me around the world

I Want To Dance With You

Intro
I want us to be together
Come and dance with me

Verse 1
I've been holding back for such a very long time
I was nervous but now I'm relaxed
I'm ready to dance tonight
You're the only one that has caught my attention
Before the night is through
I've got to make a move on you

Verse 2
I want to hold you in my arms
I need to feel your body next to mine
Show me everything that you've got
And I'll do the same for you
Your performance is heating things up
Everybody is going wild
You make me fall onto my knees
I want to get closer to you

Bridge 1
Do you want to dance with me?
Let me know as soon as possible

Bridge 2
I was skeptical at first
But now I'm convinced
You know how to get a party started

I want to dance with you tonight
I'm unleashing my wild side

Bridge 4
Your body hypnotizes me each time I look at you
You've taken control of all my senses
I don't know what your next move will be
And that's why I want to dance with you

Bridge 5
I know what I'm feeling is real
It's better than a dream

Chorus
You're dancing as if you own the entire dance floor
That's why I want to dance with you
You're dancing as if there's no tomorrow
That's why I want to dance with you

Live For You

Verse 1
I will make a solemn promise to you
One that I will never dare to break
I will try my very best
I'll put my body and soul to the test
Letting you down is not what I intend to do

Verse 2
Your happiness is one of my brightest concerns
Seeing you sad will slowly tear my heart apart
I think it's worth all the blood, sweat, and tears I shed
For you to have a better life
You are the reason why I continue to breathe

Verse 3
I will respect you completely
I will not turn my back on you
I'll love you unconditionally
No matter what you do or say
I'll teach you all you need to know to survive
I look at you and I see hope
I know you'll have a good future
I look at you and I see strength
I know you'll take good care of yourself
I take you into my arms and see all the possibilities

Bridge
I will always be your friend
I'll be your light in the darkness
Trust is what you'll find in me
And love is what I'll give to you

Chorus 1
I live for you
I live for you until the day I die
I live for you
Everything I do, I do it for you

Chorus 2
I live for you
I live for you, for the rest of my life
I live for you
I live for you in everything I say and do

Shot In The Heart

Verse 1
I've just been shot in the heart
And you're the one who pulled the trigger
You kept telling me you were sorry
But that is not going to save me
You just cannot turn back time
What is done is done
I should have realized that danger was lurking
And then run to protect myself

Verse 2
I have just been shot in the heart
And now I'm blaming myself
People told me to stay away from you
But I did not listen
I'm on the ground and suffering
I don't have the strength to get up
Blood is rushing through my veins
It's spilling out of my body
And there's nothing I can do

Bridge 1
If genies really do exist
Then I want one to come to me
I only need to be granted one wish
So I can mend my heart

Bridge 2
I've just been shot in the heart
And I need help before it's too late

Chorus
I've just been shot in the heart
And I'm lying on the floor
I've just been shot in the heart
And I can't take the pain anymore
I've just been shot in the heart
I don't know if I can survive
I've just been shot in the heart
And I don't know how to heal myself
