A flame can put a light in your heart But burn you just the same You will gamble any price at the start But in the end the game
Leaves ya cold and alone While you wait by the phone Without love
You can count on many things in your life You can count the times you choose You can try and try once more to make Things right But in the end you'll lose
When you give everything Just get heartache and pain Again
Without love you'll never catch me cryin' Without love I'd never feel like dyin' I'd have blue skies and dry eyes I wouldn't miss a thing Without love I'd have everything but you
For everyone who's been in love before I don't need to explain When you hear that knock upon your door You just can't open it again
'Cause you finally moved on You're better off on your own Without love
Without love you'll never catch me down Without love no tears would hit the ground I'd have sunshine, I'd be fine I wouldn't miss a thing Without love I'd have everything but you Without love I'd have everything but you
When you give everything Just get heartache and pain 'Cause you finally moved on You're better off on your own Without love
You'll never catch me cryin' Without love I'd never feel like dyin' I'd have blue skies and dry eyes I wouldn't miss a thing Without love I'd have everything but you
You'd never catch me down Without love no tears would hit the ground I'd have sunshine, I'd be fine I wouldn't miss a thing Without love I'd have everything but you Without love I'd have everything but you
Why is it when I get with you I lose my cool And end up playin' myself this way I can raise a baby, get paid and captivate So why I let you make me crazy
When we're lyin' here I'm in deep I disappear You got me feelin' oh, oh, oh But nothing rips out of bliss like An accidental slip Now he knows I'm whipped
What'd I say that for? Damn I said it first Why'd I say it first? Damn I said it first
I know better than to show my hand I understand don't jump the gun Just play the game I spoke too soon and now I'm wonderin' Does he or doesn't he feel the same
I could kick myself for all that Comin' out my mouth I'd take it back if I could I couldn't hold it in, hold my breath Just pretend He just makes me feel too good
What'd I say that for? Damn I said it first
Now my head's in my hands Ladies you understand When you profess to your man He'll run for cover
The air's getting thicker He's getting dressed quicker Ya start to feel sick "Cause you said I love ya
Now it's too late You'll just have to wait Nothin' you can say Goin' make it better
Three little words Come out and shake up your world And now you're freaky and needy "Cause you said I love ya
I hear the people talk Whistlin' when you walk Your kind is all hard to find and Darling I'm glad you're mine Just wanna let you know that I'll never let you go I'm cool as I can be Knowing you belong to me
Loving you In the morning Loving you In the evening Loving you You are all there is And then some
You call me on the phone You say Nikka what's going on? I jump off in my ride 'Cause I want you by my side Now I can hardly wait Till I get to your gate Nothing can brake our date 'Cause baby you take the cake
You are all there is And then some You are all there is And then some
I never leave you alone You gave me a jones I'm hooked just on your hug A junkie now for your love Now I can hardly wait Till I get to your gate Nothing can brake our date 'Cause baby you take the cake
You can't keep a home And you can't repay a loan And both your cars have just been repossessed I'd love to love you less
When we're alone Half the time you're on the phone Well maybe baby if I sent it in a text I'd love to love you less
Much to my horror You ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer It's a good thing my friends ain't hard to impress I'd love to love you less
Oh but I'd be sad I'd be blue And if you left I'd cry about you But I'd eventually forget If it wasn't for this tattoo You made me get
Oh but look what you made me do Now I'm stuck with you And so is everyone who'll ever see me undressed I wish I loved you less
Oh what can I say what can I do My heart can't help but pound for you And no matter how hard I try And Lord knows how hard I've tried Your hold on me just won't undo
But don't you cry for me I've always had weak knees For somebody who can go all night Without rest I'd love to love you less I must confess I'd love to love you less Oh yes I'd love to love you less
I take you in and I hold my breath Try to save the time that's passing by And if you came to say goodbye A thousand summers would never dry Every tear that touched my face
And they don't laugh the way you do And they don't smile the way you do And their eyes don't shine the way yours do
I love I love I love you just because
Without the words to fall back on I'm afraid it's hopeless to describe And if I tried, I'd probably steer you wrong Cause a thousand phrases would never say How I feel today
And they don't laugh the way you do And they don't smile the way you do And their eyes don't shine the way yours do
Mr. nothing's got a lot He's got a lot to say He's good at being what he's not Gives nothing away Another day goes on by And he never speaks his heart He takes his chance with what he's got It's too late now to stop
You push and you pull and struggle with the knot It's tying you up while you're fadin' You give and you take and take what you got Round and round 'till it breaks and You push and you pull and struggle with the knot It's tying you up while you're fadin' into your lie
Mr. nothing is late He's running out of time He questions whether chance or fate will ever show a sign Looks to the sky above For a glimpse of what it means And never never never make Make no sense to him
You push and you pull and struggle with the knot It's tying you up while you're fadin' You give and you take and take what you got Round and round 'till it breaks and You push and you pull and struggle with the knot It's tying you up while you're fadin' into your lie
I'm coming out of my wishing well Where only echoes lonely hear my prayers I'm coming around to bending Cause my resistance been far too persistent I've come too far to force it so I'll watch it slide and land I could come on strong and willful but I'd rather watch it fall to the palm of my hand
* And when I set it free like a feather it will be And when I rise to see it done like whatever it will be it will be
I'm taking a breather baby From sitting on pins waiting for my sky to fall I'm taking up giving in So here's the wheel, I'm putting my feet up Take another look at me baby Today I'm taking on catastrophe I'd rather take it easy Than try to force what's on its way to me
* Repeat
We're only afraid if we pull back the blinds too far The light behind that we free will blind other stars But the truth doesn't blind it helps to see far So get ready to be Who you are
I am a woman with a mission and a past to outdo I don't need a gun I've got a microphone and a melody or two Just like the earth has spent a thousand years making up for what we do So have I for you
Your seeds of misery have sprouted and they try to block my way The worst gets the better of you and you try to disarm me with an embrace Just like the heart that's spent a lifetime forgiving what is cruel So have I for you
Well mama you can choose the rain but I choose the sun That's all I need to free myself
I am a woman with a mission and a past to outdo I don't need a gun I've got a microphone and a melody or two Just like the earth has spent a thousand years making up for what we do So have I for you
I have justified every wave in our ocean I have covered every range of emotion And just like the sea has spent eternity at the mercy of the moon So have I for you
Well mama you can choose the rain but I choose the sun That's all I need to free myself
This bird's gonna fly so high Watch my sky come undone Mama you can choose the rain But I choose the sun
There are times in our lives When our hearts fear our minds We can't afford to ignore What our hearts are beating for
* My soul wants to go one way But my heart and mind playing a tug of war with me baby
Cut to the truth and watch it bleed And in the wounds just what we need It's everywhere if we dare To trust the fall to lead you there
* Repeat
Let me out this cage I'm begging for mercy I'm being your slave What do you want me to see, my eyes are inflamed With the rage that's among us when we come of age There's nothing I don't know, just hasn't come to me yet We're only trying to remember what we chose to forget Everybody's a child that is open and free If we can trust ourselves to be indiscreet With our love
My face to the sky Dreaming about just how high I could go And if I'll know When I finally get there
Taking off my glasses Sun pokes through my lashes And somehow I know There's a time for every star to shine
(Chorus) Everybody got their something Everybody got there something Make you smile like an itty bitty child
People keeping score Say better hurry up and get yours Cause somebody else Got your spot Before you even dropped
Seek and you shall find Everything in your own sweet time I'll take my chances With what I believe is only mine
Busy holding on So the roof don't fly Keep you from moving on So get it right Turn the tide over Like a love song Like a butterfly Believe if you hand it over You'll come out all right
(Chorus) Illuminate the silly things Shed some light on all that's wrong Everybody need it Sometime Sometimes the only thing you got is what makes you feel like You're something else altogether You have everything don't need another reason to be something I've been on a ride and caught up in the landslide But I'm gonna spread my wings and fly...
(Chorus) There's a time for every star There's a time for every star ...
It's late in the evening And you're breathing with someone else You come home to call me And I ask what you've been doing with yourself And you say nothing at all You say nothing at all
Your flight is longer than usual And your conscience ain't no company I'm there smiling and warm I missed you so And can't wait to show you how I feel But you feel nothing at all
There we were Never strangers before There was a light that shined on us But now there's nothing at all
You should've taken a look around Before you laid that woman down You better get a hold of yourself Cause there's a woman here Who's willing to try
Weeks go by And your mind seems preoccupied I feel a piece missing here But when I ask you about what's going on You say it's all me my dear So I thought nothing at all I thought nothing at all
You should've taken a look around Before you laid that woman down You better get a hold of yourself Cause there's a man in you about to die With nothing With nothing
What if I was the one to leave your sorry ass behind What if all these tears that're falling were yours instead of mine What if I was proof? all the wiser by the minute What if I knew your were making a bed and just who was lying in it
Hope it felt good to say you love her Hope it felt good baby baby baby Hope it felt good to be with another Hope it felt good yeah yeah yeah
And uhm... What if I just wipe the floor with your love without even thinking What if the thread you were hanging on had you strung out on wishful thinking I've become clearer since I came out from under the wrong impression I've been stuck on the detour baby heading in the wrong direction
Hope it felt good to say you love her Hope it felt good baby baby baby Hope it felt good to be with another Hope it felt good yeah yeah yeah
I hope it felt good yeah I hope it felt good yeah I hope it felt good for you baby I hope it felt good for you baby Oh you're killing me baby
Alright Oh didn't it feel good baby I hope it felt good Oh didn't it feel good
Like the day looks forward to the rising sun Like the sun that everyday kiss the tide Like the bridges that leads you to the other side I'm everyday thankful that you're the one
If you chased me baby I'd be still as stone Cause babe you bring my smile on like no other There ain't no deeper feeling I get nowhere than When I'm the skin beneath your hands
You're some kind of beautiful in my life
I don't need to hide my willingness To revel at the beauty that you possess Like every grain of sand that rolls with the sea Just like heaven you and Ii will forever be

Mr. nothing's got a lot He's got a lot to say He's good at being what he's not Gives nothing away Another day goes on by And he never speaks his heart He takes his chance with what he's got It's too late now to stop
You push and you pull and struggle with the knot It's tying you up while you're fadin' You give and you take and take what you got Round and round 'till it breaks and You push and you pull and struggle with the knot It's tying you up while you're fadin' into your lie
Mr. nothing is late He's running out of time He questions whether chance or fate will ever show a sign Looks to the sky above For a glimpse of what it means And never never never make Make no sense to him
You push and you pull and struggle with the knot It's tying you up while you're fadin' You give and you take and take what you got Round and round 'till it breaks and You push and you pull and struggle with the knot It's tying you up while you're fadin' into your lie
Meet me in the stillness Away from all this madness I'll give you a piece of me If you'll give me a moment To let you into the corners of my mind
I looked into a stranger And found my soul waiting there It hit me like a siren To see myself everywhere And I saw that I knew him like the corners of my mind
And like every other soul You feel the night come on hard and go slow And life goes on and on and it goes In the corners of my mind
So shed your skin for me Let's pull back the covers There's so much about ourselves We're yet to discover So won't you let me in to the corners of your mind
We pass on chance with our eyes to the ground It only takes a minute to see what's around But instead we choose to reside in the corners of our minds
So I stand before you now Faulty but not broken Fragile like the break of day And sometimes sad like words unspoken But I'll let you in I'll let you in to the corners of my mind
And like every other soul You feel the night come on hard and go slow And life goes on and on and it goes In the corners of my mind
