Songs

[FeelingLonely98]

Maybe it's just me? I am now hearing songs that I've heard 1000s of times but never "really" heard them. I didn't know so many songs were about breakups and love lost and such. For example, "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" by Journey. I never really heard the words. We've all heard it a million times - and who hasn't sung the chorus? "Na na na na na na..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" by Journey

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You make me weep, I wanna die

Just when you said We'd try

Lovin', touchin', squeezin' each other

 

When I'm alone, all by myself

You're out with someone else

Lovin', touchin', squeezin' each other

 

You're tearing me apart

Oh every, everyday

You're tearing me apart

Oh girl, what can I say?

You're tearing me apart

 

It won't be long girl, 'til you're alone

When your lover, oh, he hasn't come home

Cause he's Lovin', oo he's touchin',

He's squeezin' another

He's tearing you apart

Oh every, everyday

He's tearing you apart

Oh girl, what can you say?

Cause he's Lovin', oo he's touchin', another

Now it's your turn girl to cry

 

Na na na na na na ...

 

(((I hope the STBXW cries a LOT when it is her turn!)

[USMCHokie]

I'll contribute two songs for now to this thread...first one is when I'm feeling sad and want nothing more than to have my ex back...because she still means the world to me...it gives me some hope that one day I'll at least get to see her face again...but I'll still be doing alright without her...

Rascal Flatts - "These Days"

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Hey baby, is that you

Wow, your hair got so long

Yeah, yeah I love it, I really do

Norma Jean,' ain't that the song we'd sing

In the car driving downtown

Top down, making the rounds

Checking out the bands on Doheny Avenue

 

Yeah, life throws you curves

But you learned to swerve

Me, I swung and I missed

And the next thing you know, I'm reminiscing

Dreaming old dreams

Wishing old wishes

Like you would be back again

 

I wake up in teardrops that fall down like rain

I put on that old song we danced to and then

I head off to my job, guess not much has changed

Punch the clock, head for home, check the phone just in case

Go to bed, dream of you

That's what I'm doing these days

Yeah, that's what I'm doing

 

Someone told me after college

You ran off to Vegas

You married a rodeo cowboy

Wow, that ain't the girl I knew

Me, I've been a few places

Mostly here and there once or twice

Still sorting out life but I'm doing alright

Yeah, it's good to see you too

I wake up in teardrops that fall down like rain

I put on that old song we danced to and then

I head off to my job, guess not much has changed

Punch the clock, head for home, check the phone just in case

Go to bed, dream of you

That's what I'm doing these days

Yeah, that's what I'm doing

Well hey girl you're late

And those planes, they don't wait

But if you ever come back around

This sleepy old town

Promise me you'll stop in

To see an old friend

And until then

 

I wake up in teardrops that fall down like rain

I put on that old song we danced to and then

I wake up in teardrops that fall down like rain

I put on that old song we danced to and then

I wake up in teardrops that fall down like rain

I put on that old song we danced to and then

[USMCHokie]

Second song...this is my angry song I guess...pretty much describes my situation to a T...she hasn't established a career or an independent life yet...and that was one of the reasons we had to break up so she could "find herself"...it helps me accept that breaking up with her was the best thing for me...the things she is doing now that we're apart are definitely not good for her, but I guess they're her choices to make...this is definitely the song that helps me move on...

Shinedown - "In Memory"

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Some of the ugliest things

Take the longest time to make

And some of the easiest habits

Are the hardest ones to break

 

And I'm not asking for value

Nor the pain

But I am asking

For a way out of this lie

 

Because I can't wait for you

To catch up with me

And I can't live in the past

And drown myself in memories

 

Welcome to nowhere

And finding out where it is

And fixing your problems

And starting over again

 

You're feeding your ego

With what you can see outside

And you're killing yourself

For not speaking your mind

 

Because I can't wait for you

To catch up with me

And I can't live in the past

And drown myself in memories

 

In memory...

 

I wonder why you make believe

You live your life straight through me

I cannot understand

Why you question me and then you lie

 

I will not justify your ways

I cannot show you an escape

I do not know you any more

I never knew you anyway

 

Cause I can't wait for you

To catch up with me

And I can't live in the past

And drown myself in memories

[LuckyYou]

how can I just let you walk away

just let you leave without a trace?

when I stand here taking every breath

with you, oooou

you're the only one

who really knew me at all

 

how can you just walk away from me

when all I can do is watch you leave?

cause we shared the laughter and the pain

and even shared the tears

you're the only one

who really knew me at all

 

so take a look at me now

there's just an empty space

there's nothing left here to remind me

just the memory of your face

take a look at me now

there's just an empty space

you comming back to me is against the odds

and thats what I've got to face

 

I wish I could just make you turn around

turn around and see me cry

there's so much I need to say to you

so many reasons why

you're the only one

who really knew me at all

 

so take a look at me now

there's just an empty space

there's nothing left here to remind me

just the memory of your face

take a look at me now

there's just an empty space

but to wait for you is all I can do

and that's what I've got to face

take a look at me now

I'll just be standing here

you comming back to me is against the odds

and thats a chance I've got to face

 

take a look at me now

[FeelingLonely98]

so take a look at me now

there's just an empty space

there's nothing left here to remind me

just the memory of your face

take a look at me now

there's just an empty space

but to wait for you is all I can do

and that's what I've got to face

take a look at me now

I'll just be standing here

you comming back to me is against the odds

and thats a chance I've got to face

 

take a look at me now

 

I forgot about this one. Chilling words for me.

"Like We Never Loved At All"

 

You never looked so good

As you did last night

Underneath the city lights

There walking with your friend

Laughing at the moon

I swear you looked right through me

But I'm still living with your goodbye

And you're just going on with your life

 

[Chorus:]

How can you just walk on by

Without one tear in your eye?

Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me?

Maybe that's just your way

Of dealing with the pain

Forgetting everything between our rise and fall

Like we never loved at all

 

You, I hear you're doing fine

Seems like you're doing well

As far as I can tell

Time is leaving us behind

Another week has passed

And still I haven't laughed yet

So tell me what your secret is?

To letting go, letting go like you did, like you did

 

[Chorus]

 

Did you forget the magic?

Did you forget the passion?

Did you ever miss me

Ever long to kiss me?

 

Maybe that's just your way

Of dealing with the pain

Forgetting everything between our rise and fall

Like we never loved at all

 

You, you never looked so good

[trippi1432]

Baby tell me where'd you ever learn

To fight without sayin' a word

Then waltz back into my life

Like it's all gonna be alright

Don't you know how much it hurts

 

When we don't talk

When we don't touch

When it doesn't feel like we're even in love

It matters to me

When I don't know what to say

Don't know what to do

Don't know if it really even matters to you

How can I make you see

It matters to me

 

Maybe I still don't understand

The distance between a woman and a man

So tell me how far it is

And how you can love like this

'Cause I'm not sure I can

 

When we don't talk

When we don't touch

When it doesn't feel like we're even in love

It matters to me

When I don't know what to say

Don't know what to do

Don't know if it really even matters to you

How can I make you see

It matters to me

[trippi1432]

Been alot that I've been through

I cried a tear a time or two

Baby, you know I cried some over you, yeah

Had my heart kicked to the ground

Love ripped me up and tore me down, baby

 

But that ain't enough to break me

Cuz I'll rise above it

And I'll pick myself up

And I'll dust the pain off my heart

 

[CHORUS]

And I'll be alright

And I'll love again

And the wounds will mend

I'm bruised but not broken

And the pain will fade

I'll get back on my feet

It's not the end of me

My heart is still open

I'm bruised but not broken

 

Been alot of tears stained nights

I thought the tears were here for life, baby

The hurt came on and held on tight, yeah

Took a chance, I took a fall

Love broke my heart and shattered all my dreams

But I won't be down on my knees

Cuz I'll rise above it

And I'll pick myself up

And I'll shake the rain out of my heart

 

[CHORUS]

And I'll be alright

And I'll love again

And the wounds will mend

I'm bruised but not broken

And the pain will fade

I'll get back on my feet

It's not the end of me

My heart is still open

I'm bruised but not broken

 

Gonna pick my heart up

Take my life back

Shake the hurt away

Pull myself together, put the pieces back in place

I learned love's so hard

Love left my soul scarred

I was shattered inside

 

[CHORUS]

And I'll be alright

And I'll love again

And the wounds will mend

I'm bruised but not broken

And the pain will fade

I'll get back on my feet

It's not the end of me

My heart is still open

I'm bruised but not broken

Cool. I love Joss Stone. She could have come out in the 70s and her music would have fit in that era! Like Carly Simon, Janis Joplin, ...

(((GR8 lyrics)))

 

Go Your Own Way – Fleetwood Mac

 

Loving you

Isn`t the right thing to do

How can I ever change things

That I feel

If I could

Maybe I`d give you my world

How can I

When you won`t take it from me

 

You can go your own way

Go your own way

You can call it

Another lonely day

You can go your own way

Go your own way

 

Tell me why

Everything turned around

Packing up

Shacking up is all you wanna do

If I could

Baby I`d give you my world

Open up

Everything`s waiting for you

 

Uou can go your own way

Go your own way

You can call it

Another lonely day

You can go your own way

Go your own way

Here's one for the healing. Some of you might not be there yet but it's good stuff.

 

Don Henley - Heart of the Matter

 

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear

But I knew that it would come

An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone

She said you found someone

And I thought of all the bad luck,

And the struggles we went through

And how I lost me and you lost you

What are these voices outside love's open door

Make us throw off our contentment

And beg for something more?

 

I'm learning to live without you now

But I miss you sometimes

The more I know, the less I understand

All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

But my will gets weak

And my thoughts seem to scatter

But I think it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

 

These times are so uncertain

There's a yearning undefined

...People filled with rage

We all need a little tenderness

How can love survive in such a graceless age

The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness

They're the very things we kill, I guess

Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms

And the work I put between us,

Doesn't keep me warm

 

I'm learning to live without you now

But I miss you, Baby

The more I know, the less I understand

All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

But everything changes

And my friends seem to scatter

But I think it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

 

There are people in your life who've come and gone

They let you down and hurt your pride

Better put it all behind you; life goes on

You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you inside

 

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

But my will gets weak

And my thoughts seem to scatter

But I think it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

 

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

Because the flesh will get weak

And the ashes will scatter

So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

[FeelingLonely98]

 

The more I know, the less I understand

 

it's about forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

 

All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again

 

You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you inside

 

 

Great lines from that Don Henley song.

[FeelingLonely98]

Take a Bow - Madonna

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Take a bow, the night is over

This masquerade is getting older

Lights are low, the curtains down

There's no one here

[There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd]

Say your lines but do you feel them

Do you mean what you say when there's no one around [no one around]

Watching you, watching me, one lonely star

[One lonely star you don't know who you are]

 

Chorus:

I've always been in love with you [always with you]

I guess you've always known it's true [you know it's true]

You took my love for granted, why oh why

The show is over, say good-bye

 

Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye

 

Make them laugh, it comes so easy

When you get to the part

Where you're breaking my heart [breaking my heart]

Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown

[Just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown]

Wish you well, I cannot stay

You deserve an award for the role that you played [role that you played]

No more masquerade, you're one lonely star

[One lonely star and you don't know who you are]

 

(chorus, repeat)

 

Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye

 

All the world is a stage [world is a stage]

And everyone has their part [has their part]

But how was I to know which way the story'd go

How was I to know you'd break

[You'd break, you'd break, you'd break]

You'd break my heart

 

I've always been in love with you

[i've always been in love with you]

Guess you've always known

You took my love for granted, why oh why

The show is over, say good-bye

 

Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye Say good-bye

[McGrupp]

Rilo Kiley - a better son or daughter

 

Sometimes in the morning I am petrified and can't move

Awake but cannot open my eyes

And the weight is crushing down on my lungs

I know I can't breathe

And hope someone will save me this time

And your mother's still callin you insane and high

Swearin it's different this time

And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her

That god never blessed her insides

Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things

Crawl back into bed to dream of a time

When your heart was open wide and you love things just because

Like the sick and dying

 

And sometimes when you're on

You're really ****in on

And your friends they sing along

And they love you

But the lows are so extreme

That the good seems ****in cheap

And it teases you for weeks in its absence

But you'll fight and you'll make it through

You'll fake it if you have to

And you'll show up for work with a smile

You'll be better

And You'll be smarter

And More grown up and a better daughter or son

And a real good friend

And you'll be awake

You'll be alert

You'll be positive though it hurts

And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends

And you'll be a real good listener

You'll be honest

You'll be brave

You'll be handsome and you'll be beautiful

You'll be happy

 

Your ship may be comin in

You're weak but not givin in

To the cries and the wails of the valley below

And your ship may be comin in

You're weak but not givin in

And you'll fight it you'll go out fightin all of em

[trippi1432]

I love this band, had been wanting to see them in concert forever. Thank God they started touring again, got to see them last year.

 

Appropriate song for leavers:

 

Nobody Home

 

 

Don’t run too fast

Like a shot from a gun

Don’t jump too high

And knock out the sun

Don’t stray too far

Out on your own

When you finally come knocking

When you finally come knocking

There’ll be nobody home

Nobody home

 

Don’t pull too hard

Like a kite in the wind

You’ll break the string

When I reel you in

Don’t take off flying

All on your own

When you finally come knocking

When you finally come knocking

There’ll be nobody home

Nobody home

 

You say you’re feeling locked inside

Stuck inside to stay

You wanna fly away

There’s nothing I can do

To help you make your play

Make your getaway

Don’t dream too wild

And shoot for the moon

Don’t ride your heart

Like a balloon

Don’t blow away

To places unknown

Cause when you finally coming knocking

When you finally come knocking

There’ll be nobody home

Nobody home

 

Don’t run too fast

Like a shot from a gun

Don’t jump too high

And knock out the sun

Don’t stray too far

Out on your own

Cause when you finally come knocking

When you finally come knocking

There’ll be nobody home

Nobody home

 

When you finally come knocking

When you finally come knocking

There’ll be nobody home

Nobody home

 

When you finally come knocking

When you finally come knocking

There’ll be nobody home

Nobody home

Quits

What do we call it now

It isn't marriage anymore

Call it new and different

It's not the way it was before

 

Out of all the words to choose from

There's only one that fits

Call it what you want to

I just call it quits

 

We've come down to the place

Where love barely fits

Call it what you want to

I call it quits

 

Turn and walk away

Across the desert of our hearts

Loves kinda said that we've run out of time

And though we once had something

No words could tear apart

Now you be your's and I'll be mine

 

We've come down to the place

Where love barely fits

Call it what you want to

I call it quits

 

Call our friends

And tell them...

Oh tell them that we just don't care

Tell them dreams of flowers

But our garden's bare

 

Call it separation, independence

Divorce, if that word fits

Call it what you want to

I just call it quits

 

We've come down to the place

Where love barely fits

Call it what you want to

I call it quits

Ten Years Of This

You'd never know by looking

We were ever more than strangers

But, we're celebrating ten years

Of wedded bliss

 

She made the rounds as usual

While, I sit here stoned, as usual

Lord, I can't believe we survived

Ten years of this!

 

Ten years together

A million nights alone

Whose mistake is it?

What do we blame it on?

 

If someone else would tell me

What I already know in my mind

I'm afraid I'd start talking

With my fists

 

But, I know.. I'm lieing

What ain't dead, by now is dying

What in hell kept us together

For ten years of this?

 

Ten years together

A million nights alone!

Whose mistake is it?

What do we blame it on?

 

Maybe you start cheating

Because you married so young

Whatever it is, I cain't go home

 

I know, I cain't take it

Too long, I've had to fake it

I just don't think we can make it

 

Through ten more years of this...!

She's Actin' Single, I'm Drinkin' Double

I've seen men look at before

And they think, I don't see them

I'd like to think it makes me proud

But, I'm only.. fooling me

 

I know she'll be lookin' back

The minute I'm not there

While she pours herself on some stranger

I pour myself a drink somewhere

 

She's acting single

I'm drinking double

I hide my pain

I drown my troubles

 

My heart is breaking

Like the tiny bubbles

She's acting single

I'm drinking doubles

 

I know all she plans to do

But I don't know where or when

If I ask who that stranger was

She'll just say, "an old friend"

 

I'm not weak, I tell myself

I stay because I'm strong

The truth is, I'm not man enough

To stop her from doing me wrong

 

She's acting single

I'm drinking doubles

I hide my pain

I drown my troubles

 

My heart is breaking

Like the tiny bubbles

She's acting single

I'm drinking doubles

 

She's acting single

I'm drinking doubles

I hide my pain

I drown my troubles

Today, I heard the awful news

Someone told the gospel truth

Said you've been running 'round

With a stranger who just hit town

 

He's got a black mustache

And a red Cadillac

Now he's got you

And I've got two

Divorce lawyers on my back

 

Single again!

Back on the streets again

The old bars ain't changed much

Just a new face or two

When you're out of touch

 

Single again!

Born to lose, dying to win

Only thing I'm running from

Is the alimony man

Because I'm single again

 

 

Drifting around from bar to bar

Running into our old friends

They won't know where ya are

 

Last I heard, a little while back

You were cruising town in his Cadillac

Drinkin' champagne... showing off a diamond ring

 

I'm getting by

In these hard times

Livin' from drink to drink

 

Single again!

A'back on the streets again

The old bars ain't changed much

Just a new face or two

When you're out of touch

 

Single again!

Born to lose, dying to win!

The only thing I'm a'running from

Is the alimony man

'cause I'm single again!

[JaneDoe35]

I have always loved this song.....very sad but still love it. I just substitute the 'she' for 'he' when I sing it out loud!!!

 

 

 

I've been contemplating suicide ...

but it really doesn't suit my style.

So I think I'll just act bored instead,

and contain the blood I could have shed.

 

She makes me feel so weary

My heart is really on its knees.

But I keep the poker face so well

that even mother couldn't tell

 

That my baby's so vain

she is almost a mirror

and the sound of her name

sends a ... permanent shiver

down my spi-yiyi-yiyi-iyi-yi-yine.

Down my spi-yiyi-yiyi-iyi-yi-yine.

 

I keep her photograph against my heart,

'cause in my life she plays a starring part.

Our love can hold on cigarettes.

There is no room for cheap regrets.

 

She makes me feel so weary.

My heart is really on its knees.

But I keep the poker face so well

that even mother couldn't tell.

 

But my baby's so vain

she is almost a mirror

and the sound of her name

sends a ... permanent shiver

down my spi-yiyi-yiyi-iyi-yi-yine.

Down my spi-yiyi-yiyi-iyi-yi-yine.

 

GUITAR SOLO

 

My baby's so vain that

she is almost a mirror

and the sound of her name

sends a permanent shiver

down my spi-yiyi-yiyi-iyi-yi-yine.

Down my spi-yiyi-yiyi-iyi-yi-yine.

 

[sIZE=2]Sends a permanent shiver ... down ... my ... spine. [/sIZE]

 

Shivers - The Boys Next Door

[FeelingLonely98]

Doesn't Mean Anything by Alicia Keys. Beautiful song.

She's awesome. It's her new song.

 

AND it describes me!!!!

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SW_sNYTwfg

 

 

Used to dream bout being a millionaire, without a care

But if I'm seeing my dreams and you aren't there

Cause it's over, that just won't be fair, darling

Rather be a poor woman living on the street, no food to eat

Cause I don't want nobody if I have it cry

Cause it's over when you say goodbye

All at once, I had it all

But it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone

From above, seems I had it all

But it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

Now I see myself through different eyes, it's no surprise

Being alone would make you realize

When it's over, all in love is fair

I shoulda been there, I should been there, I shoulda shoulda

All at once, I had it all

But it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone

From above, seems I had it all

But it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

I know I push you away

What can I do that will say how I love

Take these material things

They don't mean nothing

It's you that I want

 

All at once, I had it all

But it doesn't mean anything nw that you're gone

From above, seems I had it all

But it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

(I shoulda been there, I should been there, I shoulda shoulda)

 

All at once, I had it all

But it doesn't mean anything now that you're gone

From above, seems I had it all

But it doesn't mean anything since you're gone

Boy it's been all this time,

and I can't get you off my mind,

and nobody knows it but me.

I stare at your photograph,

still sleep in the shirt you left,

and nobody knows it but me.

Everyday I wipe my tears away,

so many nights I've prayed for you to say.

 

(Chorus)

I should have been chasing you,

I should have been trying to prove,

that you were all that mattered to me,

I should have said all the things,

that I kept inside of me and maybe,

I could have made you believe,

that what we had was all we'd ever need.

 

My friends think I'm moving on,

but the truth is I'm not that strong and nobody knows it but me.

I've kept all the words you said,

in a box underneath my bed,

and nobody knows it but me.

 

But if you're happy I'll get through somehow,

but the truth is that I've been screaming out.

 

(Repeat Chorus)

 

It was all we'd ever need.

 

Oh, I thought it was all we'd ever need.

 

I should have been chasing you,

You should have been trying to prove,

that you were all that mattered to me,

Oh, you should have said all the things,

that I kept inside of me and maybe,

You could have made me believe,

that what we had girl,

Oh, that what we had

What we had

 

It Was all we'd ever need

Strong Enough - Cher

(A little campy yes - but appropriate lyrics for many!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``

 

I don't need your sympathy

There's nothing you can say or do for me

And I don't want a miracle

You'll never change for no one

I hear your reasons why

Where did you sleep last night?

And was she worth it, was she worth it?

'Cos I'm strong enough

To live without you

Strong enough and I quit crying

Long enough now I'm strong enough

To know you gotta go

There's no more to say

So save your breath

And then walk away

No matter what I hear you say

I'm strong enough to know you gotta go

So you feel misunderstood

Baby, have I got news for you

On being used, I could write a book

You don't wanna hear about it

I've been losing sleep

You've been going cheap

She ain't worth half of me it's true

I'm telling you

Now I'm strong enough to live without you

Strong enough and I quit crying

Long enough now I'm strong enough

To know you gotta go

Come hell or waters high

You'll never see me cry

This is our last goodbye, it's true

I'm telling you

That I'm strong enough to live without you

Strong enough and I quit crying

Long enough now I'm strong enough

To know you gotta go

There's no more to say

So save your breath

And you walk away

No matter what I hear you say

I'm strong enough to know you gotta go

[FeelingLonely98]

I know for a fact that my STBXW's heart will be on the shelf soon.

Her A will not last long.

 

The Last Worthless Evening - Don Henley

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know you broke up with him

And your heart's still on the shelf

It's been over two years for me

And I'm still not quite myself

You can't be with someone new

And you can't go back to him

You're beginning to realize

That it's sink or swim

I see you around sometimes

And my heart just melts

You're lookin' like if you had your wish

You'd be somewhere else

And it just breaks my heart

To see you here this way

Someday I'll get the nerve

To walk up to you and say

This is the last worthless evening

That you'll have to spend

Just gimme a chance

To show you how to love again

This is the last worthless evening

That you'll have to spend

'Cause I'll be there

When your broken heart is on the mend

Every night it's the same old crowd

in smoky rooms

You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes

But it never blooms

I've been around this block a time or two

And I've made some big mistakes

But girl I promise you, I promise you

That this is the worthless evening

That you'll have to spend

Just gimme a chance

To show you how to love again

This is the last worthless evening

That you'll have to spend

'Cause it won't be long

'Till your little heart is on the mend

People inside their houses

with the shades pulled down

God knows, we could use some romance

In this sleepy bedroom town

I know you're still afraid to rush into anything

But there're just so many summers

And just so many springs

And this is the last worthless evening

That you'll have to spend

Just gimme a chance to show you how

to love again

This is the last worthless evening

That you'll have to spend, baby

'Cause I'll be there when your broken heart

is on the mend

This is the last worthless evening

That you'll have to spend

Just gimme a chance, gimme a chance

To show you how to love again

This is the last worthless evening

That you'll have to spend 'cause it won't be long

'Til your little heart is on the mend

"Right To Be Wrong"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_sHGcf8kcI&feature=related

 

I've got a right to be wrong

My mistakes will make me strong

I'm stepping out into the great unknown

I'm feeling wings though I've never flown

I've got a mind of my own

I'm flesh and blood to the bone

I'm not made of stone

Got a right to be wrong

So just leave me alone

 

I've got a right to be wrong

I've been held down too long

I've got to break free

So I can finally breathe

I've got a right to be wrong

Got to sing my own song

I might be singing out of key

But it sure feels good to me

Got a right to be wrong

So just leave me alone

 

You're entitled to your opinion

But it's really my decision

I can't turn back I'm on a mission

If you care don't you dare blur my vision

Let me be all that I can be

Don't smother me with negativity

Whatever's out there waiting for me

I'm going to faced it willingly

 

I've got a right to be wrong

My mistakes will make me strong

I'm stepping out into the great unknown

I'm feeling wings though I've never flown

I've got a mind of my own

Flesh and blood to the bone

See, I'm not made of stone

I've got a right to be wrong

So just leave me alone

 

I've got a right to be wrong

I've been held down to long

I've got to break free

So I can finally breathe

I've got a right to be wrong

Got to sing my own song

I might be singing out of key

But it sure feels good to me

I've got a right to be wrong

So just leave me alone
