Slow down, that's right Give it all you got Yeah, you got the right stuff Kick back, let go Trust yourself to know Yeah, what you got is good enough
* Hey, don't give 'em what they think they want 'Cause they don't have a clue Yeah, if you really wanna give 'em something different Something to sink their teeth into Well baby, then you just do what you do
All eyes, were on Alice They laughed and made her cry Yeah, she was a little different But, hey you know what? She found a way to fly You see Alice, she got her strength from the inside

The cost of living just went up today Soon as you started doing things your way You'll be shakin' 'em off your coattails from every side They'll be trying to catch that free ride
I sent myself a dozen roses Right before the office closes Just to make my girl friends green with envy Ever since I lost you All the crazy things I do I didn't even know I had it in me, oh but
Hey, it's alright It's just another Saturday night Got nobody, got no nothin' to lose I'm gonna get dressed up go downtown Spread a little misery around Anything's better than feelin' the blues
Found a restaurant on my way I told 'em it was my birthday Just to hear the waiters sing off-key Sprung a loose wire, that's a fact Got a strange little monkey on my back But I kinda like the company, and I guess
Hey, it's alright It's just another Saturday night Got nobody, got no nothin' to lose I'm gonna get dressed up go downtown Dance the little monkey around Anything's better than feelin' the blues
Hey, it's alright It's just another Saturday night Got nobody, got no nothin' to lose I'm gonna get dressed up go downtown Live it up and never live it down Anything's better than feelin' the blues

And I'm in so electrically Charged up kinetically Actin' erratically Need you fanatically You get to me magically Sure as the sky is blue Baby, I love you
I can't believe that this is real The way I feel Baby I'm gone head over heals
And I'm in so totally Wrapped up emotionally Attracted so physically Actin' so recklessly I need you so desperately Sure as the sky is blue, yeah
And I'm in so electrically Charged up kinetically Actin' eratically Need you fanatically You get to me magically Sure as the sky is blue
Baby, I love you Baby, I love you Do you love me too Baby, I love you
Tell me you love me and make me feel it Convince me that your heart is true Don't say you need me if you really don't mean it 'Cause boy I ain't nobody's fool, yeah
* Baby I'm trying to find a place inside your heart Oh but it's hard to start a fire without a spark If you wanna be the man that rocks me to my knees Baby just make me believe
'Cause I'm still waiting
Every night I bring you all my broken pieces But you just put them on your shelf Tell me why you put this wall between us And keep your reasons to yourself, ah...
* Repeat
You say you feel the same but my heart's full of doubt You say you'll find the time So we can work it out
But I'm still waiting
* Repeat (2X)
Baby just make me believe Oh baby just make me believe I'm still waiting
I was standing in the grocery store line The one they marked express When this woman came through with about 25 things And I said don't you know that more is less She said this world is moving so fast I just get more behind everyday And every mornin' when I make my coffee I can't believe my life's turned out this way All I could say was
Love's the only house big enough For all the pain in the world Love's the only house big enough For all the pain
He was walking by the other day and I said Hey baby, how you been? Yeah, I got me a little girl now And she's 4 years old And she's got her daddy's little grin You only wanted what you can't have And baby you can't have me now I gave my heart to another Yeah I'm a mother And he's a father and we're a family And we got each other And I found out the hard way that
Love's the only house big enough For all the pain in the world Love's the only house big enough For all the pain
You drive three miles from all this prosperity Down across the river and you see a ghetto there We got children walkin' around with guns And they got knives and drugs and pain to spare And here I am in my clean, white shirt With a little money in my pocket and a nice warm home And we got teenagers walkin' around In a culture of darkness Livin' together alone, all I could say is
Love's the only house big enough For all the pain in the world Love's the only house big enough For all the pain
And I can't explain it, and I can't understand But I'll come down and get my hands dirty And together we'll make a stand Somewhere 'cross the parking lot Some bands playin' out of tune City streets are gonna burn If we don't do somethin' soon And senorita can't quit crying, baby's due now any day Don Juan left, got sick of tryin' No one there to show him the way She came down to the grocery store and She said I, I wanna buy a little carton of milk But I don't have any money I said, Hey I'll cover you honey Cause the pain's gotta go somewhere Yeah the pain's gotta go someplace So come on down to my house
Don't you know that Love's the only house big enough For all the pain in the world Love's the only house big enough For all the pain...
There you are in the early light of day There you are in the quiet words I pray I've been blessed by the simple happiness Of the perfect love we've made
* Every time I turn around When I'm lost and when I'm found Like an angel standing guard There you are Every time I take a breath And when I forget to breathe You're watching over me There you are
When I'm looking for the light In the middle of the night Searching for the brightest star There you are
There you are standing in a crowded room There you are, the earth and I'm the moon My desire is to stand by the fire That burns inside of you
* Repeat
When I'm looking for the light In the middle of the night Searching for the brightest star There you are
When I'm looking for the light In the middle of the night Searching for the brightest star There you are There you are There you are
Red sun setting on the road behind her A hundred miles out of her hometown Drops a quarter in a beat up pay phone Listens to it rattle on down Voice's cold as the phone she's holding The connection's way to clear He's yelling where's my dinner She's too far gone to care She says listen here
* There's a time to stand and the time is now or never Time to fly, a time to let go forever Time to grow, and a time to discover Life is precious, every second You've wasted mine and it's my time
She puts a few more miles between them He pours a distance of his own Starts talking to the bottle It's all that's left now that she's gone He rages on 'till the national anthem Comes on his TV Then he looks straight at the bottle Says you did this to me And then he screams
* Repeat
It's my time, it's my time, it's my time And time is what you make it It's my time, it's my time, it's my time And time is what you're taking
When the world is on your shoulders Just too much to bear Boy my love can make you stronger I ain't going nowhere When your followin' all the rules But life just won't play fair Come to me and we'll roll with the punches I ain't goin' no where
* By your side by your side day and night I will be always There's a place in my heart in my heart Just for you always I ain't going nowhere I ain't going nowhere
I can't guarantee that your dreams Won't fade into thin air But as sure as I'm livin', breathin' I ain't going nowhere
* Repeat
But straight to you No one else will do My love will shine right through your rain I will lift you up, I will lift you up
I ain't goin' nowhere I ain't goin' nowhere I ain't goin' nowhere
(By your side by your side always) (I ain't goin' nowhere) I ain't goin' nowhere
(By your side by your side always) Yea, yea (I ain't goin' nowhere)
What do you dream about? Look at the stars, honey All you gotta do is pick one out And it's there for you I'll be the one who makes Your every dream come true
* Close your eyes and baby Make a wish and baby I'll give you anything and everything The sky's the limit and my heart is in it I'll give you anything and everything Anything and everything
Where do you want to go? Look at the world, baby All you gotta do is just say so And I'll take you there Oh yeah, you know that Love can take you anywhere
* Repeat
I could spoil you Make it easy Make you happy if you let me Won't you let me
I'll be the one who makes your every dream come true
Close your eyes and baby Make a wish and baby I'll give you anything and everything The sky's the limit and my heart is in it
My right hand holds matches My left holds my past I hope the wind catches And burns it down fast I'm gonna step into the fire With my failures and my shame And wave goodbye to yesterday As I dance among the flames So
* Don't try to save me now Let the walls of my world all burn down Just stand back and wait 'til the smoke finally passes And I will rise From the ashes From the ashes From the ashes
For all that I'm losing Much more will I gain The hard part is choosing To change what needs changed My step will be much lighter With these demons off my chest I'm born a better spirit And lay the old to rest
* Repeat
I'll walk away stronger I will be flyin' Higher and truer Than I've flown before
My right hand holds matches My left holds my past I hope the wind catches And burns it down fast
Occurred to me the other day You've been gone now a couple years Well I guess it takes a while For someone to really disappear And I remember where I was When the word came about you It was a day much like today The sky was bright and wide and blue
* And I wonder where you are And if the pain ends when you die And I wonder if there was Some better way to say goodbye
Today my heart is big and sore It's trying to push right through my skin Won't see you anymore I guess that's finally sinking in Cause you can't make somebody see With the simple words you say All their beauty from within Sometimes they just look away
There's a silence on the front lines You can cut it with a knife You can stay and take your chances Or you can run to save your life One side is retreating And the other's runnin' scared And the drums of war are beating Even though it's undeclared
And both sides say they're winning And both sides know they're losing And neither one knows what they're fightin' for And in the quiet little places You can see the little faces Huddled right outside the bedroom door Praying for an end to this uncivil war
Papa needs a new job So he's swallowing his pride Oh, but it don't go down easy And it eats him up inside And mama, she don't notice Little sister's ragged dress Lately she don't notice Much of anything I guess
They're just fightin' off the hunger Trying to keep from going under But the wolves just keep on Gatherin' 'round the door There's no place to run for cover So they're turning on each other 'Cause there really ain't no winners anymore Just victims in this uncivil war
There's a silence on the front lines You can cut it with a knife You can stay and take your chances Or you can run to save your life
For the love of a woman A man unlocks his heart And reveals all the secrets it holds And the love of a woman Will find his better part When he gives her the key to his soul
He will listen to her dreams He will ask her what she needs He will help her build the life she wants to live He will hold her when she cries With a love that never dies All these things he will give For the love of a woman
For the love of a woman A man will sacrifice While he waits for a moment of grace With the love of a woman A man will pay the price For the trust that he sees in her face
He will open any door Leave the life he knew before To convince her that he's all she'll ever need And when he's afraid to start He will step into the dark Cause he knows she'll give his eyes the power to see With the love of a woman
And he promises to help her dreams come true Oh there's nothing in this world that he won't do Though he's not a work of art He will try with all his heart To become the man she knows that he can be With the love of a woman
With the love of a woman He will give his life For the love of a woman

Look at that cloud, as high as a tree, at least that's how it looks to me.
How about you? What do you see? What if we see things differently?
Show me, How the world looks through your eyes. Tell me about the sunrise. Let me see the stars shine. Show me, how the world looks through your eyes. And I can show you how it looks through mine.
If I had wings and I could fly I would tell you all about the sky.
How about you? If dreams could come true, what do you imagine you could do?
Show me, how the world looks through your eyes. Tell me about the sunrise. Let me see the stars shine. Show me, how the world looks through your eyes. And I can show you how it looks through mine.
And I could show you secret traits where no one's ever gone. I bet you've got secrets too so don't be shy.
Come on Come on Come on Come on, and
Show me, How the world looks through your eyes. Tell me about the sunrise. Let me see the stars shine. Show me, how the world looks through your eyes. And I can show you how it looks through mine.
There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me I never have seen a river that's too wide There ain’t no jail tight enough to lock me Ain’t no man big enough to stop me I’ll be there if you ever want me by your side
So love me if you ever gonna love me I never have seen a road to ruff to ride There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
Now there ain't no rope tight enough to bind me Look for me honey you will find me any old time your ready with your charm I'll be there ready and a waitin' there won't be any hesitation I'll be right here if you ever want me in your arms
So love me if you ever gonna love me I never have seen a road to ruff to ride There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
I can't stop loving you I've made up my mind To live in memory of the lone sometimes I can't stop wanting you It's useless to say So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday Those happy hours Those happy hours that we once knew that we once knew Tho long ago they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart But time has stood still since we've been apart since we've been apart
I can't stop loving you I've made up my mind To live in memories of the lone sometimes I can't stop wanting you It's useless to say So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday dreams of yesterday
마티나 맥브라이드가 괜히 땡겨서 한 곡 골라봤다. 그렇게 유명한 곡은 아닌 것 같지만
어디서 어떻게 알았는지도 모르게 이 곡을 알고 있었더라구
아메리칸 아이돌 보면 마티나 맥브라이드의 곡을 부르는 가수 지망생들이 꽤 되던데
대부분 시골 쪽의 백인 여성(혹은 촌티 풍기는 소녀)들이었던 것 같음
시골에서 마티나 맥브라이드의 노래는 소에게...
