Everyone around the world
Will find themselves about to fall In my case I've gotten down, gotten up Laid back down, filled my cup and had to crawl But it's clear that it's my time to be here And I'm gonna make it clear to you all We spend our lives trying to get over On this roller coaster that we're traveling on And everyday we ride the elevator No matter where it takes ya Up or down Don't let it get you down Love will always be your soldier Wiping every tear you cry Yours for always and forever Yours until the end of time Everyone around the world Will find themselves with the chance to fly In that second we decide if we ride Or if we'd be satisfied to pass it by But it's clear that it's our time to be here And we've gotta make it clear all our lives We spend our lives trying to get over On this roller coaster that we're traveling on And everyday we ride the elevator No matter where it takes ya Up or down Don't let it get you down Love will always be your soldier Wiping every tear you cry Yours for always and forever Yours until the end of time When ain't nothin' goin' right Love will be your soldier When all you can do is cry Love will be your soldier When no one is around Love will be your soldier When your world is tumbling down Love will be your soldier |

When your faith lights the canon
When your pride is pulling triggers And nobody is left standing Tell me where's the God in that You can say the war is over Try and sell that to a mother Sent away her heart and got back a stone Now it's quieter than she's ever known Takes one second to breathe in and out One decision to believe or doubt One heart beating echoes in a crowd Cryin' for change and only tears get out Mam's cryin' bullets in the sky Raining, raining tears on each side Fight for love don't love the fight Mama's cryin' bullets in the sky Now the fewer and the braver Hope and pray their faith won't waiver Then fate taps them on the shoulder A blink of an eye The path of fear we're being led to tread Is paved with wasted life |

Bendin' over backwards
You walk on shells like a prisoner But it's shaky ground when you livin' In a house of cards Your nerves are shot You can barely cope (You're) spread so thin like a tightrope Trippin' over yourself to make sure You never miss a mark [Chorus] Don't you know You can't please everybody No you can't please everybody No matter how hard ya try What you lookin' at me for I used my tears to mop the floor One stick one stone ain't enough to make me fall apart Somebody waits for you with a crown And somebody else wants to take ya down It don't matter which side of the fence That you choose to ride [Chorus] You need someone to hold your hand Someone to understand But you tiptoin' tryin' to find it's just a waste of time So many people up in your face Only hold ya back Only slow your pace You'll lose it if ya keep on tryin' Hey hey hey [Chorus] |

Can'tneverdidnothin'
And neither did couldn't Never did nobody no good You better plant in your garden And make sure you water it like you should Time has spoiled you rotten And you done forgotten Why you been put here Can'tneverdidnothin' And neither did couldn't But make your dreams disappear Blaming everybody who dealt your hand But you're keepin' your head in the sand You should be sweatin while you sit at home Looking under your bed for your backbone Instead you ridin' bitch till the tables turn Till you get your check Till your luck returns How are you expecting to find your way With shoulda woulda coulda coming out your face Can'tneverdidnothin' And neither did couldn't Never did nobody no good You better plant in your garden And make sure you water it like you should Time has spoiled you rotten And you done forgotten Why you been put here Can'tneverdidnothin' And neither did couldn't But make your dreams disappear You keep ridin' your bike in a cul-de-sac Think you're getting somewhere ridin' piggyback But you're only gettin' out what you're puttin' in So stick your neck out take it on the chin 'Cause there's a whole lotta nothin' goin' on for too long 'Cause the time isn't right 'Cause it feels all wrong Wishin' like a baby you could just get on But ain't nothin' doin' while nothin's done |

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 |

[Chorus]
Go ahead and cry baby Cry baby all night long Just like I cried baby On the pillow that you used to lay on The sun is out and my Sorrows finally drowned So go on and turn it up "Cause it's my favorite song I sucked it up And washed your memory down I've finally let you go And now you comin' back around One minute sooner and my heart Was good as gold But time's a bitch and now it's Turned my heart to stone, so [Chorus] You made our bed And now I gladly lay in it "Cause there's way more room And I use every single bit It's true it's sad "Cause you and I we were the shit "Cause our love was real And all you got now's counterfeit But it's cool I'm feelin' better all the time As long as I know that you sittin' home cryin' , so [Chorus] No wonder you cry baby Cry baby all night long Just like I cried baby On the pillow that you used to lay on One minute sooner and my heart Was good as gold But time's a bitch and now it's Turned my heart to stone, so [Chorus] Need a little something to make me feel better Need a little something to make me feel better |

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 Damn I said it first |

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 ... |

Heaven spoke too loud
Left me a fatherless child Occurs to me everyday But your memory makes me proud You're the one I hold You're the first man I loved And all that follow Have a mountain to rise above And there's a hole inside of me Where I put flowers so I can breathe And though the winters have come and gone You're still my heart, you're still my sun Somehow I always knew What I lost was never gone 'Cause there's a part of you Inside of me that carries on And there's a hole inside of me Where I put flowers so I can breathe And though the winters have come and gone You're still my heart, you're still my sun Heaven spoke too loud Left me a fatherless child And there are time you know I really wish you were around And I'll try to make you proud 'Cause you're the break in every cloud And I'm convinced that's why The sun shine on me |

I hid my heart in self-defense
I felt the break and consequence Never to return to meltin' feelings inside I told myself I wouldn't fall again Even in the light of day You'll never see How much I feel for you baby Or how much you mean to me 'Cause I fooled ya baby, fooled ya baby I'm going crazy wishin' I could tell ya I fooled ya baby, fooled ya baby But now you're in love with somebody else I fooled ya baby, fooled ya baby I wish I could tell ya how much I love ya I fooled ya baby, fooled ya baby But I'm the fool I bit my lip in ignorance I kept it quiet and sat on the fence Never thought it made a difference But my time has come and gone I never took the chance I count the hours till I see your face I'd stop the world from turning out in outer space I'd get back the time that's been erased Just to feel you near me, just to hear you say That I'm yours till the day you die And ain't nobody else in your life 'Cause nobody ever made me feel Sexy like I was wearing a new pair of heels |

You're nothing but a dirty dirty old man
You do your thinkin with a one track mind Keep talking 'bout heaven's glory But on your face is a different story Clean up your act, your story's gettin dusty Wash out your mouth, your lies are getting rusty Can't believe nothin you say 'Cause I'm around and I see what you do You know you're funkier than a mosquito's tweeter You got a mouth like a herd of bowl weevers Same old thing same old game You never change Always rappin 'bout the same old thing Blowing minds is a thing of the past You blew your chance, that's why you'll never last You wanna be a graduated lover But in reality you're just another brother You think you're slick but you could stand a lot of greasin' The things you do ain't never really pleasin' |

With kisses sweet you wake me
With the first tease of the sun And I'm gonna have my day made Before it's even begun If it's between working or playing with you You helpin me make up my mind 'Cause it don't matter if I miss the train They don't pay me enough anyway And if they did I'd forfeit every dime to hear you say I'm about to make the sun shine brighter in your day baby You make me happy in the morning And when I go to bed You take all my naughty thoughts And they get put to use instead And it feels like I've been dreaming But my pillow never hit my head You make me happy in the morning Your sugar's too sweet to ignore Maybe just five minutes more Your love is shining all over my world Better run if you don't plan on making something of yourself But I give in the minute you give me Some loving on which to dwell I'll take on the world tomorrow 'cause I'm taking off today 'Cause it don't matter when you take me on Before the sun even rises All my troubles stay far away 'Cause you're a sight for sleepy eyes And it's a wonder I get anything done With your kind of love in my life You make me wanna get up on the morning |

'Cause I've been so strong for so long I never needed anyone But my strenght is wearing out my heart So I'm letting my guard down 'Cause I feel like I've finally found somebody But I gotta know I gotta know You'll still kiss away my tears Even if they make no sense Even if they put you on defense I gotta know Throught the times when it gets rough That our love will be enough And we'll never let it go I know only time will tell But I need to hear it anyway 'Cause now my love's too strong to tear away |

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 I love I love I love you just because |

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 You push and you pull it |

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 |

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 You're some kind of beautiful in my life |

Where is my someone
Who'll always understand The person who'll give everything Just to take my hand What if I never feel it What if I never know And what if it just gets easier To spend this life alone Rollin' with the punches Hope my black and blue don't show Put the bright in my eyes So no one ever knows How I feel on rainy days Or what I'd do to have always My hopes are almost suffocating But inside I know there's... Someone for everyone ooh Someone for everyone There's got to be more Than just getting thru the day But I don't want to settle Just to numb the pain away I'm holdin' out for everything The obvious and in betweens And some say pride lets heartache in But inside I just know there's |

I can see it in you eyes
You can hardly contain yourself With everything you feel You say, hallelujah I'm so glad my friends made me come here All this talent And me looking so damn fine up in here I'm your gift and it's your birthday Swing it around and put it here Baby c'mon baby c'mon Swing it around and put it here So now you're in my ear Talkin' 'bout how the eyes are really windows Into someone's soul And I'm supposed to act like I never heard that one before I thought no one used those lines no more It's just as tired now as it was then Swing it around and put it here Baby c'mon baby c'mon Swing it around and put it here Blow my mind and I'll bend right over I'll be yours with no do-overs But it's gonna take so much more than a promise To move my world To make this rock wanna roll with ya You try to put pictures in my head I don't know, somethin' 'bout Have I ever rode a thoroughbred My friend didn't buy it So you thought you'd try it on me instead And now my eyes couldn't get further Back in my head But you still askin' if my hair is really red Baby, c'mon... Gimme somethin' I can work with here Baby c'mon baby c'mon Gimme something I can work with here Baby c'mon baby c'mon ... Or swing it around and put it over there |

My lover A was absolutely alright
But my lover B would bump my tunes in his ride Then my lover C caught me in the cookie jar 'Cause my lover D was too delicious to deny My lover E was extraordinary and my one regret But my lover F was just too freaky to forget My lover G was touch and go for a good while But my lover H was proof that I haven't found you yet It's just a matter of time till I get to you No matter how many I gotta get through It's just a matter of time till I get to you Just a matter of time till I get to you And I gotta say I was jonesin' for my lover J But my jelly was too sweet for him And jealousy got in the way Let's just say my lover K was kicked to the curb And my lovers LMNOP have all become a blurb My lover Q was quite qualified But my lover R was ready to rush me out of his life My lover S was so busy spreading his seed That I took to tearing it up with my lover T It's just a matter of time till I get to you No matter how many I gotta get through It's just a matter of time till I get to you Just a matter of time till I get to you You make me feel like singing Lalalalala You make me feel like singing Lalalalala And I don't need no reason Now that I got U in my life! |

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 |

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 |
