If you could tell me
Everything you said was untrue
If you could tell me
All the words you spoke to me those nights
Were only lies and I could move on
Move on from you
If you could tell me
It’s all been just a game
If you tell me like it is
The sweet things that you said you never meant
And I was a fool to fall for you
But I love you
Yes I love you
Things would be easier if you didn’t love me too
Your silence says a lot
And all in all it’s all good news
If you could tell me
That I’m just not your type
If you could tell me
That you made up your mind
Just out of spite I wouldn’t bother deciding
To either leave or stay
I’d simply pack my bags, cut my ties, and be on my way
But I love you
Yes I love you
Things would be easier if you didn’t love me too
Your silence says a lot
And all in all it’s all good news
All in all it’s all good news
All in all it’s all good news

Time goes tickin’ down
Where did it all go
Toile and paper hearts were made
Days long ago
Oh sweet love I found
See it in his eyes
From the time he walked up to me
It was clear in the skies
Love has a funny way
Knowin’ just what to say
Without a word spoken at all
And I knew (I knew)
Someday (someday)
We’d be together (gether)
Lovin’ you all the days
Here’s where my heart will stay
And I knew (I knew)
Someday (Someday)
We’d be together (gether)
Leavin’ the yesterdays
Here’s where our love will stay
Days keep moving on
Yes they come and go
But our hearts will stay together
This I know
With each kiss I give to you
Singin’ to my soul
Painted with a rose to keep you
Here evermore
Love has a funny way
Knowin’ just what to say
Without a word spoken at all
And I knew (I knew)
Someday (someday)
We’d be together (gether)
Lovin’ you all the days
Here’s where my heart will stay
And I knew (I knew)
Someday (Someday)
We’d be together (gether)
Leavin’ the yesterdays
Here’s where our love will stay
Love has a funny way
Knowin’ just what to say
Without a word spoken at all
And I knew (I knew)
Someday (someday)
We’d be together (gether)
Lovin’ you all the days
Here’s where my heart will stay
And I knew (I knew)
Someday (Someday)
We’d be together (gether)
Leavin’ the yesterdays
Here’s where our love will stay

Doomed From The Start

Meet Caroline at seventeen
The finest girl you've ever seen
She saw Tommy, long and lean
With curly hair and eyes so green
Tommy said "would you marry me?
We could start our family"
One day he got called to war
She didn't see him anymore
Don't it break your heart
When lives are torn apart
When love is doomed from the start
Shawn had just turned twenty one
When he went out and bought a gun
He grew up tough, he grew up poor
Couldn't take it anymore
With thoughts no one could understand
And choices of a desperate man
Mama heard those sirens wail
As Shawn was taken off to jail
Don't it break your heart
When lives are torn apart
When love is doomed from the start
I met Gina by the sea
When we were young and living free
Daddy left when she was three
She swore she'd never marry me
She flew high and learned to sing
I couldn't clip those angels wings
Just pictures from a magazine
I wonder if she remembers me
Don't it break your heart
When lives are torn apart
We thought we'd come so far
When love is doomed from the start
When love is doomed from the start

Be Mine
02:36
|
|||
I wanna fill you with my love
I wanna let you feel my warmth
I wanna see you in the summer
I wanna hold you in the wintertime
If we can only get closer
Tell me
Will you be mine
I can feel your arms around me
I wanna build my world around you
Now the autumn leaves are fallin’
We can make it to the springtime
C’mon, pull me closer
Tell me
Will you be mine
Every year is an adventure
I hate when we’re apart
As long as we’re together
You’ll have my heart
We can fill our hearts with song
We can fill our home with love

Sweet Valentine
03:35
|
|||
Love don’t go
Forget me not
Traveled far
The earth is hot
I need you
To give me rest
I lay my head
Upon your chest
Eyes so cold
Unless I get
Your love in time
I gotta be
Your Valentine
You’ll be my
Sweet Valentine
You’ll be my
Sweet Valentine
In this heart
You’ll be mine
You’ll be my
One sweet kiss
I have to say
You are the best
And better yet
Take the move
Cuz it is not
A fall from grace
My angel face
One last l…
To scare me straight
I’m not the girl
That likes to wait
And you’ll be my
Sweetest Valentine
And you’ll be my
Sweetest Valentine
In this heart
You’ll be mine
You’ll be my
Sweetest Valentine
They say
Your ship has sailed
But I wanna sail it with you
Sweet boy
Sweet girl
With a love
Timeless and true
And I pay a precious coin
To be the one right next to you
Sweet girl
Sweet boy
With a love
Timeless and true

Love Monster

Love love monster
He’s a love love monster
Love love monster
Love
My friend collapsed by the road
He had been left all alone
Tears falling down from his eyes
Heartache too big to disguise
Cuz he’s a love love monster
He’s a love love monster
He’s a love love monster
Her love was all a masquerade
All of his cards had been played
She would not stand by his side
She chose to run off and hide
Cuz he’s a love love monster
He’s a love love monster
He’s a love love monster
No need to run baby
No need to hide
He’s got the love baby
He’s got a lotta love inside
Cuz he’s a love love monster
He’s a love love monster
Love love monster
He’s a love love monster
He is
Love love monster
He’s a love love monster
He’s a love love monster
No need to run baby
No need to hide
He’s got the love baby
He’s got a lotta love inside
He’s a love love monster
He’s a love love monster
He’s a love love monster
He’s a love

Pack up my bags
In the morning I will leave
Pack up my things
Before the sun starts rising
I’ve gotta go, so many miles in front of me
I’ve gotta leave, this city that broke my dreams
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Lay my burdens on the floor
I won’t be weary anymore
I wanna feel home
I’ll take my time to know
The place I’ll call my home
I’ll take my time to see
If the people there would even care to miss me
When I’m far away
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Lay my burdens on the floor
I won’t be weary anymore
I wanna feel home
I wanna feel home
These city streets, all winding
To a place I really don’t care to be
I want to find my home in those endless fields
Where the summertime smells like rain
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Lay my burdens on the floor
I won’t be weary anymore
I wanna feel home
I wanna feel home
Pack up my bags
In the morning I will leave
Pack up my things
Before the sun starts rising
I’ve gotta go, so many miles in front of me
I’ve gotta leave, this city that broke my dreams

The Right Thing
03:11
|
|||
When you let me fall down, down, down
You were nowhere to be found
Oh my love you set me up
I’m tryin’ to think little girl
Don’t know what to say
These are not games I’ve ever played
Oh I gave you my sweet true love
You said I fit like a glove
So how does she feel I wanna know
Can’t tell when the lights are low
But girl you gotta go
Don’t waste my time, don’t waste my time
I try to do the right thing
But it’s the wrong thing to you
I used to be your evening edition
Now I’m yesterday’s news
My mama didn’t raise no fool
I’m done foolin’ with you
I try to do the right thing
But it’s the wrong thing
I try to do the right thing
But it’s the wrong thing
I try to do the right thing
But it’s the wrong thing to you

I’ll make you sorry one day, yes I will
I’ll make you sorry one day, love
I’ll be shining bright for someone new
Won’t be your star anymore
You took your aim and let your arrow go
With such painful disregard
Oh, your sight was clever, even though I said never
So reluctant to let down my guard
I have been warned about men like you
How the girl should walk away
So my darling that’s just what I will do
I was just an actress in your play
I’ll make you sorry one day
I’ll make you sorry one day, yes I will
I’ll make you sorry one day, love
Oh, I’ll be shining bright for someone new
Won’t be your star anymore
Oh, I’ll make you sorry one day
I’ll make you sorry one day
I’ll make you sorry one day, love
I’ll make you sorry one day
I’ll make you sorry one day
I’ll make you sorry one day, love, ohhhhhh

Sugar Lips

Sugar lips
I’ve got a sweet tooth
For your sugar lips
I’ve got a sweet tooth
For your sugar lips
Sugar lips, sugar lips
I’ve got a sweet tooth, a sweet tooth
For your sugar lips
You’re like pink cotton candy, yellow candy corn
You turn salt water taffy into soft core porn
With your sugar lips… sugar lips
I got a sweet tooth, a sweet tooth, for your sugar lips
Now my butterfingers
Are warm and strong
But my slowpoke sucker
Will last all night long
In your sugar lips…
Sugar lips
I’ve got a sweet tooth, a sweet tooth
For your sugar lips
You make my eyes roll back
You make my head go dizzy
You make my gummy worms soft
And my pop-rocks fizzy
With your sugar lips…
Sugar lips
I’ve got a sweet tooth, a sweet tooth
For your sugar lips
Now when you wrap your tongue
Around my lollipop
I’ll eat all the chocolates in your box
Sugar lips…
Sugar lips
I’ve got a sweet tooth, a sweet tooth
For your sugar lips
How many licks does it really take
To lick all the frosting off your wedding cake
My candy thermometer is getting hot
Just thinking about the nectar in your honey pot
Sugar lips, sugar lips
I’ve got a sweet tooth, a sweet tooth
For your sugar lips
I’ve got a sweet tooth, a sweet tooth
For your sugar lips

It was you that opened my eyes
And made me realize
The things around me and all the things that I see
You reminded me to smile
To walk that extra mile
For people who don’t have it quite as good as me
There were times when I fell behind
When small things would slip my mind
But you were there to pull me back together
You never held me back
You kept me right on track
You kept me safe in all kinds of weather
I will never take you
I will never take you
I will never take you
I will never take you
Take you for granted
Life with you is so real
You know just how I feel
I feel like you will know me forever
You took me by the hand
And helped me make a stand
Every time I wanted to surrender
I will never take you
I will never take you
I will never take you
Take you for granted
I will never take you
I will never take you
I will never take you
Take you for granted

Forever My Dear
04:32
|
|||
I went walkin’, but I got sore feet
I was hungry, but there was nothin’ to eat
I spent all my money on the wrong kinda cool
I’ve been hurt so bad, been everybody’s fool
I’ve been workin’ the wrong kinda grind
I’ve been yearnin’ for the right thing to find
Been a long time comin’ but I know this is true
Didn’t have nothin’ ‘til I found you
When you’re lookin’, you ain’t findin’
The love you need in your life
But there you were standin’
With your big blue eyes
She’s not yours, no she’s mine, all mine!
I’m going walkin’ with a fire in my shoes
Both us together, babe, I know we can’t lose
Be no more sorrow, be no more tears
Cuz I will love you, love you, love you
Forever my dear
When you’re lookin’, you ain’t findin’
The love you need in your life
But there you were standin’
With your hair piled high
She’s not yours, no she’s mine, all mine!
I’m going walkin’ with a fire in my shoes
Both us together, babe, I know we can’t lose
Be no more sorrow, be no more tears
Cuz I will love you, love you, love you
Forever my dear
I will love you, love you
Forever my dear

The Get Down
02:26
|
|||
I still remember bein’ four years old
In the blink of an eye I was thirty-four
Time passes on but my love can’t wait
Take my hand, don’t hesitate
The get down
Get down on the ground
Time moves on, let love pass me by
Way on back when I was twenty-one
I was playing guitar and you were chewing gum
You were the sweetest thing I ever did see
But you still got down with a fool like me
The get down
Get down on the ground
Time moves on, let love pass me by
Let’s go
Come on girl, don’t tell me no
You may be young and I’m never too old
I may be silver and you may be green
But I can still make love like I’m sixteen
The get down
Get down on the ground
Time moves on, let love pass me by
The get down
The get down
The get down
Get down on the ground
Time moves on, let love pass me by
Time moves on, let love pass me by

One Last Drink Of You
02:32
|
|||
Can I have one last drink of you before I go
And I know I can find my way home
Pull me close, you can be sure I’ll surrender
With one last drink of you before I go
See the early morning sun in your eyes
I feel that old familiar ache I recognize
That soon our stolen night will be over
Can I have one last drink of you before I go
There are words we only use as lovers
The sweet music of your voice I long to hear
Deep within your blue eyes I remember
Can I have one last drink of you before I go
Can I have one last drink of you before I go
And I know I can find my way home
Pull me close, you can be sure I’ll surrender
With one last drink of you before I go
With one last drink of you before I go
