Some day you're gonna want me but I ain't gonna be around
Some day you'll find you miss the kiss that you're forever turnin' down When you decide you want the love that once you could've had Well that's gonna be to bad and you're gonna be sorry You're gonna be sorry for all the dirty deals you've handed me All the nights you stayed away you wished you'd spent with me While you were busy makin' out, I was busy makin' plans for checkin' out And when you find this out, you're gonna be sorry You'll wake up cryin for me like I've done so many nights for you You'll walk the floor and you'll call my name but I ain't gonna hear you You'll curse the night and you'll hate yourself for ever doin' me wrong But I'm gonna be long gone and you're gonna be sorry You're gonna be sorry for all the dirty deals you've handed me All the nights you've stayed away you wished you'd spent with me While you were busy makin' out, I was busy makin' plans for checkin' out And when you find I'm gone, you're gonna be sorry You're gonna be sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry |

Hello you said the day we met
Handing me a yellow rose You asked me out And to your surprise And to mine I said I'd go I thought it so romantic And I found you sweet and bold Though we'd only met I still said yes To a single yellow rose And for years to come You were the one To sleep with me at night To laugh and talk And share my thoughts And hold me when I'd cry And on every occasion And for no good reason to A big bouquet or a single yellow rose Was sent from you Chorus: Yellow roses The color of sunshine You loved me at one time Why did you have to go Yellow roses Are you sending your new love My bright yellow rose buds I still love you so I never see a yellow rose That I didn't think of you It's still my favorite flower Though the yellow's turned to blue The day you left my teardrops fell Upon your farewell not You said goodbye like you said hello With a single yellow rose Chorus: Yellow roses The color of sunshine You loved me at one time Why did you have to go Yellow roses Are you sending your new love My bright yellow rose buds Oh I still love you so Yellow roses The color of sunshine You loved me at one time Why did you have to go Sweet yellow roses Are you sending your new love My bright yellow rose buds I still love you so |

Some men find her sexy, some men disagree
But if she's not, it's not because she doesn't want to be She wears a push-up bra from Freddericks, five inch high heel shoes Maybelline and Rubinstein, and Avon's best perfume She's a working girl Chorus: She's a working girl, she is single and free She's a mother and wife and she's proud to be A working girl Some find her to aggressive, she don't know how to stop Cause she's the kind that don't look down until it's from the top She's elegant and stylish, French perfume and a fur Designer clothes by Halston and Diane Von Furstenburg And she's a working girl Repeat Chorus She has taken her place among the tallest of trees But she weeps like a willow when she's brought to her knees Cause she's a working girl You'll find her dressed according to standard uniform Cause she must dress in comfort for the job she must perform She has so many faces, she wears so many names She goes so many places and she does so many things Cause she's a working girl Repeat Chorus Fade: Repeat Chorus Twice |

Look how the wind carries the seed
See how the soil supplies what it needs The rain falls, the sun shines and a flower breaks free And it all works together, why can't we And I have seen children at play in the park Skin shades of ivory, red, yellow and dark Well, my eyes saw colors their little hearts could not see They were playing together, why can't we Chorus: Why can't we, why can't we I can love you and you can love me Why can't we, why can't we Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be Why can't we I had a dream about a lion and a lamb They were playing together and there was peace in the land And swords became plowshares 'cause there were no enemies And I woke up and wondered, God why can't we Repeat Chorus Tag: Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be Why can't we, M-M-M-M Why can't we |

You've given me more than I ever dreamed Loving you more every day, so it seems Greater than all other loves I have seen Its essence will linger on whenever forever comes We'll float on a cloud through eternity You'll gather the stars, you'll give them to me I'll give you the moon and we'll replace the sun Whenever forever comes, whenever forever comes |

Two doors down
They're laughing and drinking and having a party Two doors down They're not aware that I'm around But here I am crying my heart out feeling sorry But they're having a party just two doors down I think I'll dry these useless tears And get myself together I think I'll wander down the hall and have a look around Cause I can't stay inside this lonely room and cry forever I think I'd really rather join them two doors down. Two doors down They're laughing and drinking and having a party Two doors down They're all aware that I'm around Cause here I am no longer crying and feeling sorry Having a party just two doors down I can't believe I'm standing here dry eyed, all smiles, and talking Making conversation with the new love I found I asked him if he'd like to be alone and we start walking Down the hall to my place late Two doors down. Two doors down They're laughing and drinking and having a party Two doors down We're not aware that they're around Cause here I am feeling everything but sorry Having a love party two doors down |

Questions I have many Ansewers but a few We're here to learn the spirit burns To learn the greater truth We've all been crusified And they nailed Jesus to the tree And when I'm born again You're gonna see a change in me God made me for a reason And nothing is in vain Redemption comes in many shapes With many kinds of pain Oh, sweet Jesus if you're out there Keep me ever close to you As I'm stumbling tumbling As I'm traveling through I'm just traveling traveling traveling.

And I hope I'll see ya down the road You meant more than I knew As I'm travelin' travelin' travelin' travelin' travelin' through Drifting like a floating boat And roaming like the wind Oh give me some direction lord Let me lean on you As I'm travelin' travelin' through (Repeat, Repeat) Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Like the poor wayfaring stranger That they speak about in song I'm just like a weary pilgrim Tryin' to find my own way home Oh, sweet jesus if you're out there Keep me ever close to you As I'm travelin' travelin' travelin' through Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh travelin' through. |

We can't always both be right
We sometimes disagree But you've got the right to speak your mind An' it's the same with me When the anger's at an end And you want inside my arms again All you have to do to make it right is just Chorus: Touch your woman Touch your woman Everything's gonna be alright Touch your woman Touch your woman Let me know, let me know everything's alright There are times when I should be strong When I'm awfully weak When the sudden blows of life have brought me to my knees Woman needs a helpin' hand Needs someone to understand Needs the man she loves to help her stand, so Repeat Chorus And when the busy day is done You lay by my side You know exactly what it takes to keep me satisfied You know exactly what I need and I always go to sleep in peace Thanking God that you belong to me, so Repeat Chorus |

Chorus:
Today I started loving you again I'm right back where I've really always been I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend And then today I started loving you again What a fool I was to think I could get by With only these few million tears I've cried I guess I should have known the worst was yet to come And the crying time for me had just begun Repeat Chorus Twice Today I started loving you again Today I started loving you Today I started loving you again |

Mama never seemed to miss the finer things in life
if she did, she never did say so to daddy she never wanted to be more than a mother and a wife if she did, she never did say so to daddy the only thing that seemed to be inportant in her life was to make a house a home and to make us happy Mama never wanted anymore than what she had if she did, she never did say so to daddy He often left her alone, she didn't mind the stayin' home if she did, she never did say so to daddy and she never missed the flowers and the cards he never sent her if she did, she never did say so to daddy being took for granted was a that thing she accepted and she didn't need those things to make her happy and she didn't seem to notice that he didn't kiss and hold her if she did, she never did say so to daddy One morning we awoke just to find a note Mama carefully wrote and left to daddy and as he began to read it out ears could not beleive it the words she had written there to daddy she said, "the kids are old enough, they don't need me very much I've gone in search for love I need so badly I have needed you so long but I just can't keep holding on" she never meant to come back home if she did, she never did say so to daddy Good-bye to daddy |

I've been around for you Been up and down for you But I just can't get any relief I've swallowed my pride for you I've lived and lied for you But you still make me feel like a thief You've got me stealing your love away 'Cause you never give it Peelin' the years away And we can't relive it I make you laugh and you make me cry I believe it's time for me to fly Time for me to fly I've got to set myself free Time for me to fly That's how it's got to be I know it hurts to say goodbye But it's time for me to fly You said we'd work it out You said that you had no doubt I thought we were really in love Oh but I'm tired of holding on To a feeling I know is gone I do believe I've had enough I've had enough of the falseness Of a worn out relation Enough of this jealousy and intoleration I wonder why I even try I believe it's time for me to fly Time for me to fly I've got to set myself free Time for me to fly That's just how it's got to be I know it hurts to say goodbye But it's time for me to fly Time for me to fly Time for me to fly I got to set myself free Time for me to fly That's just how it's got to be I make you laugh and you make me cry I believe it's time for me to fly Time for me to fly That's how it's got to be I know it hurts to say goodbye But it's time for me to fly |

As you move your hand slowly across my face You're touch is as soft as the words you speak to me What a love in the way I see you I compare it with the beauty of the dawning Or when the sun sets and paints its picture in the blue Like a butterfly that has a million colors, all such beauty Like the love in the way I see you I compare it with the beauty of the dawning Or when the sun sets and paints its picture in the blue Like a butterfly that has a million colors, all such beauty What a love in the way I see you |

Now, people say I'm the life of the party
'cause I'll tell a joke or two. Although I might be laughin' loud and hearty, Deep down inside I'm blue. So take a good look at my face You'll see my smile looks out of place. If you'll look closer, It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears. I need you, need you. But since you left me if you see me with another guy, Seemin' like I'm havin' fun. He might look good it's true But he's a substitute 'cause you were the perfect one. So take a good look at my face. You'll see my smile looks out of place. If you look closer, It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears. I need you, I need you. Outside I'm masqueradin', 'cause inside my hope is fading. Like a clown since you put me down, And my smile is my makeup I wear since my break up with you. So take a good look at my face. You'll see my smile looks out of place. If you look closer, It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears. Oh, just take a good look at my face. You'll see my smile looks out of place. If you look closer, It's easy to trace the tracks of my tears |

There are so many things that I don't understand
And I search my mind to try to find an answer But the more I search the less I seem to find out why Like where where the wind goes, how does life begin What happens when we die The mystery of the mystery must stay unknown Only God can know and man must not see Great minds have tried but they will not find The answer to the mystery of the mystery Man will seek the mystic rails of the mystery But their silent halls reveal not a sound Many men will give their lives just to try to find The answer to a mystery in their mind The mystery of the mystery must stay unknown Only God can know and man must not see Great minds have tried but they will not find The answer to the mystery of the mystery |

The bridge, so tall Here is where it started On the bridge The moon is big and yellow And the stars are all a' glow From the bridge, I see reflections In the waters far below You kissed me for the first time here An' held me awfully tight And the bridge became our favorite place We came here often in the night And one night while standing on the bridge Desire swept through us both Passion took us by the hand And showed us where to go From the bridge we saw a meadow So we ran together there Where we found love together Our emotions filled the air The bridge, so wide The bridge, so long Where once we stood together Tonight I stand alone Tonight, while standing on the bridge My heart is beating wild To think that you could leave me here With our unborn child My feet are moving slowly Closer to the edge Here is where it started And here is where I'll end it... |

And I may have just what you're looking for If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used With a little mending it could be as good as new Why you take for instance this old broken heart If you will just replace the missing part You would be surprised to find how good it really is Take it and you never will be sorry that you did (chorus) The bargain store is open, come inside You can easily afford the price Love is all you need to purchase all the mechandise And I can guarantee you'll be completely satisfied Take these old used memories from the past And these broken dreams and plans that didn't last I'll trade them for a future, I can't use them anymore I've wasted love, but I still have some more (chorus) My life is likened to a bargain store And I may have just what you're looking for If you don't mind the fact that all the merchandise is used With a little mending it could be as good as new The bargain store is open, come inside... |

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed, With a word she can get what she came for Ooh, a stairway to heaven There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven Oh-oh, makes me wonder. I wonder; I really, really wonder There's a feelin' I get when I look to the west And my spirit is crying for leavin' In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees And the voices of those who stand lookin' Ooh. It's whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason, And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter Oh-oh-oh-oh, Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh If there's a bustle in your hedgerow don't be alarmed now. It's just a spring clean for the May queen Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still some time to change the road you're on Oh, it makes me wonder Your head is hummin' and it won't go in case you don't know, The piper's callin' you to join him Oh, can you hear the wind blow And did you know your stairway lies upon the whisperin' wind Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven You can't buy it, you can't borrow You've got to walk it straight and narrow Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven And as we walk on down the road Our shadows longer than our souls, All that glitters is not gold Wanna be a rock and not a roll Oh, the great almighty dollar leaves you lonely, lost and hollow You can't fool yourself forever You gotta work to get to heaven Stairway to heaven. If we listen and hold fast To every question that we asked The truth will come to us at last And she's buying a stairway to heaven |

He's got a way of walkin'
He's got a way of talkin' A way to fascinate me all the time And he's got a way with women A way to keep my head a swimmin' He's got away too many times Chorus: Ooh, speakin' of the devil Well, here he comes now Lookin' like an angel Got my defenses down He's got me dreamin' Got me schemin' Ooh, speakin' of the devil He is drivin' me wild With that wicked little grin And that fire in his eyes He's got me dreamin' Got me steamin' Ooh, speakin' of the devil It feels mighty close to heaven And I'd go through hell to make him mine He's got his spell upon me Got to be his one and only Burning with passion and desire Ooh, I'm caught up in all his magic It surely would be tragic To never share the heat From all this fire Repeat chorus twice Speakin' of the devil Speakin' of the devil I'd go through hell to make him mine |

Have romance, love, and passion Find magic that will last And I want someone to think they're dyin' if they can't be with me I want to be their joy, their pride, their dreams, the very air they breathe I'd like to wake up feeling loved and go to bed the same Yes, I want to be somebody's everything Somebody's everything Oh, I want someone to come alive when they lay eyes on me Have a lust within thier touch, a passion far beyond belief I'd like to wake up feeling loved and go to bed the same Yes, I want to be somebody's everything Someone to hold me close and tremble when the lovin's done Think it's Heaven, call me Angel, think I hung the moon and sun Get misty-eyed just knowin' we're the love song people sing Yes, I want to be somebody's everything And I want to be somebody's everything I wanna be, I'm gonna be somebody's everything I wanna be, I wanna be somebody's everything Somebody's everything Somebody's everything Yes, I wanna be, I'm gonna be somebody's everything |

When I left I left walkin' wounded
I made my escape from the rain Still a prisoner of hurt I had months worth of work Just freein' my mind of the pain I had hours of sittin' alone in the dark Listenin' to sad songs and comin' apart Lord knows I made crying an art Woe is a slow healing heart Chorus: A slow healing heart dyin' to mend Longin' for love lonely again But when the spirit is broken And the memories start Nothin' moves slower Than a slow healing heart How I prayed for blind faith to lead me To places where I'm not afraid Now I'm doin' fine both in body and mind Some hurts take longer to fade But there's a part of my feelings ever on guard Against looks that are tender and words that are hard 'Cause I still remember those cutting remarks Oh it's painful a slow healing heart Chorus: A slow healing heart dyin' to mend Longin' for love lonely again When the spirit is broken And the memories start You know nothin' moves slower Than a slow healing heart Nothin' moves slower Than a slow healing heart |

Sweet little cherry blossom, blooming before her time
Moving her lips to her favorite song, cherishing every rhyme Swaying her hips to the rhythm, humming along with the tune Lost in her own little dream world, slow dancing with the moon Watching her I cannot help but go back in my mind And suddenly I find I am 15 again Slow dancing with the moon Oh, the stars got in my eyes long time ago And I've lived my life like a love sick clown In a bittersweet cartoon Just a dreamy-eyed kid slow dancing with the moon Watching the girl I'm reminded she's quite a lot like me Trapped in the suburbs of wonderland, lost in her own fantasy Somehow my heart never grew up, no one ever burst my balloon So here I am swirling in star dust slow dancing with the moon Still believe someday my wildest dreams will all come true And I'll find someone who'll make me 15 again But until then I'm slow dancing with the moon Oh, the stars got in my eyes long time ago And I've lived my life like a love sick clown In a bittersweet cartoon Just a dreamy-eyed kid slow dancing with the moon Tag: Still a starry-eyed kid slow dancing with the moon |

Single bars and single women
With a single thought in mind Just to make it till the morning Looking for what they can find For a man they won't remember For a night they can't forget Do you come to this place often? May I light your cigarette? Drinkin' beer in Amarillo Passing time and swaping jokes Hoping for a new beginning But beginning to lose hope And you're waiting for that moment When a glance becomes a stare Mmm, what's that perfume that you're wearing? Haven't I met you somewhere? Find a matchbook in the morning With a name and number scrawled When you phone, a woman answers And you wish you'd never called Oh, they're friendly when they meet you But they're strangers when they go Ahh, do you mind if I come join you? Would you like to dance one more? And it's gettin' near to closing And the seconds pass like years Lots of friends to share the laughter Not a one to share the tears Oh and you wish they'd change that juke box Cause you know every song it plays Can I drop you off at my place? Oh, what's the matter, are you gay? You gotta twenty in your pocket Got your toothbrush in your purse Life could get a whole lot better But it better not get worse Single bars and single women With a single thought in mind Just to make it till the morning Looking for what they can find |

You may not know me now but I have been around
You'll never see my name on any pages I'm just a common man the fool who understands The pain you go through when life takes you under So sing for the common man a song for the common man He paid for the song with the sweat of his brow He will survive he will survive You may not know my mother my sisters and my brothers Yet everyone has given for the other You know the working man he builds what others plan So everyone of us should sing his story So sing for the common man... Day after day he keeps working away in offices factories and farms Year after year he sheds tear after tear but he will provide he will survive So sing for the common man... Sing for the common man... Sing for the common man... |

With a tear in every room All I want is the love you promised Bring me the halo moon But you think I should be happy With your money and your name And hide myself in sorrow While you play your cheating game Chorus: Silver threads and golden needles Cannot mend this heart of mine And I dare not drown my sorrow In the warm glow of your wine You can't buy my love with money For I never was that kind Silver threads and golden needles Cannot mend this heart of mine Repeat Chorus Silver threads and golden needles Cannot mend this heart of mine |

Well, I met an old man walkin' down the street His clothes were torn and tattered With sandals on his feet And I stopped to help him And lend him a hand He said, I love you so much But you must understand Silver and gold might buy you a home But things of this world They won't last you long And time has a way of turning us old And time can't be bought back with silver and gold And he said to me, let's rest for awhile For I have some good news to share with you, child He said, you can't change this old world The people need to know That a dear savior died here A long, long time ago Silver and gold might buy you a home But things of this world They won't last you long And time has a way of turning us old And time can't be bought back with silver and gold His eyes shown like diamonds And his smile was heaven sent His hair was long and flowing And his back was slightly bent And I knew he knew it For that day I changed As I watched him walk on I forgot to get his name He said, silver and gold can't buy you a home When this life has ended And your time is gone But you can live in a world where You'll never grow old And things can't be bought there with silver and gold And time can't be bought back with silver and gold |

And dangle my feet from an old flat bridge Seeing myself in the water below Shatter my image with the rocks I'd throw Shatter my image with the rocks I'd throw Long time gone and a long time ago When I shattered my image with the rocks I'd throw The world is cruel and people are cold Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw Shatter my image with the rocks they throw I'm far from perfect but I ain't all bad And it hurts me more than it makes me mad We all do things that we don't want told And we all throw stones that we shouldn't throw You shatter my image with the rocks you throw Long time gone and a long time ago When I shattered my image with the rocks I'd throw The world is cruel and people are cold Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw Shatter my image with the rocks they throw If you live in a glass house don't throw stones Don't shatter my image 'til you look at your own Look at your reflection in your house of glass Don't open my closet if your own's full of trash Stay out of my closet if your own's full of trash Long time gone and a long time ago When I shattered my image with the rocks I'd throw The world is cruel and people are cold Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw Shatter my image with the rocks they throw Shatter my image with the rocks you throw Don't shatter my image with the rocks you throw |
