Vanessa Carlton - More Than This

Heroes & Thieves album
by Vanessa Carlton

Cradling stones hold fire bright
As crickets call out to the moonlight
As you lean in to steal a kiss
I'll never need more than this

We all share the pain of our histories
But the ache goes away if you could see
This night under stars, well, I call it peace
If you say, I'll never need more than this

The trees grow so thick
You can barely see through

But the forest bestows the simplest of truths
You think you'll be happy if granted one more wish
But the truth is you'll never need more,
You'll never need more
You'll never need more than this

Want so much in this life,
There's so much to be
We sail through our youth so impatiently
Until we see
That the years move along
And soldiers and heroes come home
And they carry a song,

Don't live in forgotten times
May this always remind you
Of the sea under the skies blue looking glass
Let's make this our story, let's live in the glory
Time, it fades away,
Precious as a song
Cause someday we'll be gone

Cradling stones hold fire bright
As we watch the glow of the morning light
Someday our bones here they will lie, and so we sing

As the years move along and soldiers and heroes come home
And they carry a song
Let's make this our story,
Let's live in the glory
Time, it fades away,
Precious as a song
Cause someday we'll be gone

Vanessa Carlton - Home

Heroes & Thieves album
by Vanessa Carlton

Some people live in a house on the hill
And wish they were some place else
There's nobody there
When the evening is still
Secrets with no one to tell

Some I have known have a ship where they sleep with sounds of rocks on the coast
They sail over oceans five fathoms deep
But can't find what they want the most

Even now when I'm alone
I've always known with you
I am home

Some live in towns
Cardboard shack on concrete
All bluster and bustling life
They search for the color they can never quite see
Cause it's all white on white

Even now when I'm alone
I've always known with you
I am home

For me it's a glance and the smile on your face the touch of your hands,
And an honest embrace
For where I lay it's you I keep,
This changing world I fall asleep
With you all I know is I'm coming home,
Coming home

Vanessa Carlton - Fools Like Me

Heroes & Thieves album
by Vanessa Carlton

Beware the danger it lurks for those who get swept away
The dreamers get punished most by truth
They say it's all in a little ways
One reveals their love's gone away,
Love's gone away

When my hand was in your hand
My heart was pure
Now I see a different man
Rewriting memories
The dogs run down the beach
And all I'm left with
Is sand in my shoes,
Sand in my shoes

Fools like me
We love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me

Now I recall that time at the caf,
The thunderstorm outside
Words you could never say,
They hold the loudest tones
You say you'll write
But it's ink on a page,
Just ink on a page

Fools like me
Oh we love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me

Tic toc the time
Distant look grows in your eye
But fools never ask
Afraid of what lurks in your mind
I always knew, somehow, always knew
I always knew the truth

Fools like me
Oh we never see
Cause the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
And it's breakin',
It's breakin',
It's breakin'
It's gotta break for me to see

At least I can say
I was not afraid
I loved you all the way
I'd pick the fool any day

Vanessa Carlton - This Time

Heroes & Thieves album
by Vanessa Carlton

It's 4 a.m. and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
A flickering of all of my mistakes
And as the light starts creeping in
I slowly feel
The day I'm missing
But I wouldn't even know where to begin

Do I push to hard?
Or fall to fast?
The moment never seems to last
Will I stop long enough to know

Everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt,
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just can't walk away,
This time

Your words circle in my head
Weigh so heavy on my chest
And I'm crushed by your expectation
I only want to do some good
Too dumb to know if I could
And I just wanna feel the days I'm in

Do I go to far,
Not far enough?
Why can't I keep my big mouth shut?
And do we lead the life that we should?

Everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt,
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just can't walk away,
This time

Did I say to much again?
I'm just a girl in a panic
If I tell you my truth
Am I getting through?
It just seems I should confess
Who am I to pretend
This is more than I can carry

Everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt,
I cry
I hold my head up high
I know I'll be alright
This time
I feel it in my veins
I just can't walk away
This time
This time,
This time
This time,
This time

It's 4 am and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
It's times like these I see your face

Vanessa Carlton - Heroes And Thieves

Heroes & Thieves album
by Vanessa Carlton

Well, disaster it strikes on a daily basis
And I'm looking for wisdom in all the wrong places
But still wanna laugh in disappointed faces
And you can't help me
I'm blinded by these

Heroes and Thieves at my door
And I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I figured it out
Darling it's you I'm without

Well I'm stubborn and wrong,
But at least I know it
I keep movin' along
And hope I can get through this
But maybe this song is the best I can do it
So I'm patiently waiting on these

Heroes and Thieves at my door
And I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I figure it out
Darling it's you,
Darling it's you oh,
Darling it's you

I'm without your comforting logic like,
These days are the ones I'll miss
And I seek a solitude
That I can't find without you

Seems like I'm getting closer somehow
A flicker of peace that I finally found
Thank you for believing in me now
Cause I do need it

Give me a year or two
And I'll mend my ways
And see these mistakes
When I see the truth,
Darling trust me, when I can see
I'll be coming back
I'll be coming back

Cause there are Heroes and Thieves at my door
And I can't seem to tell them apart anymore
Just when I figured it out
Darling it's you oh,
Darling it's you oh,
Darling it's you I'm without

Vanessa Carlton - The One

Heroes & Thieves album
by Vanessa Carlton

Ahhh

Holiday and I come home
I hope to see this boy I know
I can't wait for us to be alone
Flippin' through the radio
We sing along to the indie show
The songs they play mean more than I can say

And the tape I made you,
Hope you think of me when it plays through
I'm kinda sad now that it's done
You think my time is for free
In all the ways you say to me,
Sweet versions of let's wait and see

You're always a golden boy
And I'm the girl that you enjoy
My parents say isn't he a gifted son
Time is always passing
By but still I have to wonder why
You can't come to tell me I'm the one

Summer goes and we have grown
We have our friends,
Live on our own
Still I'm not the girl you want me to be
Say gravity can bend the time,
Funny, I always liked your mind
But this whole thing is crushing me

But you're always a golden boy
And this girl's heart that you destroy
You smile at me and then you have your fun
Time is always passing,
Still, I give you another try
And hope that you will see that I'm the one

You say you're scared to get too close
Come let's see how it goes
I see you now at the show,
The 7th in,
The 7th row
Now you look at me
And see what I've known for so long
Sad that you could be so lovely and so wrong

Came to say that I moved,
I see your face you don't approve
Guess you could say that I'm already gone

But you'll always be my golden boy
And I'm the summer girl that you enjoy
Some melodies are best left undone

I feel the time pass away
But in my songs you will always stay
I don't need you to tell me I'm the one
I don't need you to tell me I'm the one

You'll never know that I was the one

Vanessa Carlton - Come Undone

Heroes & Thieves album
by Vanessa Carlton

I've seen myself in a thousand faces
Strung out on life's path
I would add up what you mean to me
But I cannot do the math

And this fashionista's garden party
Well I had enough of that
Cause the only one I come undone for is you
Oh the only one I come undone for...

I'm a special lover sometimes
But you only touch a ghost
I'm a sycophantic courtier
With an elegant repost

Needless to say you're the one that I need
The most
Cause the only one I come undone for is you
Oh the only one I come undone
For is you
The only one I come undone for is you

I know I'm done
And now I see the truth
I know I'm done
I come undone for you
You've been gone so long,
Waiting here for you
You've been gone so long,
Come undone for you

There are people in this lifetime
That we should never meet
Cause to be here now without you, well,
My life's so incomplete

I tell you what you mean to me,
Maybe then you'll see
Cause the only one I come undone for is you
Oh the only one I come undone for is you
The only one I come undone for is you

Vanessa Carlton - My Best

Heroes & Thieves album
by Vanessa Carlton

Mmmmmmmmm

We scream and shout and try to make it last
Though it didn't work out,
I don't love you any less
My lover or friend,
I wont ever tell
Our secrets safe
An unspoken citadel

And in these broken times, well,
It's so easy to forget
So I sing to remind
Upon my shoulder you can rest
Cause I'll always give you my best

A sidewalk's path leads me to you
Though we don't look back,
We hold on to a truth

And in these broken times
I promise I will not forget
Though you're not mine
Upon your shoulder I can rest
Cause you always give me your best

Like a promise kept
It's like you never left
It's like you never left

And though it's been so long,
I can't ever seem to forget
All it takes is a song
And I could swear I hear your steps
Down the hall echoes a past
Thatleaves an ache,
It's never left
Cause I gave you my best

It's like you never left
It's like you never left
We scream and shout and try to make it last

Vanessa Carlton - Spring Street

Heroes & Thieves album
by Vanessa Carlton

Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah
Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah

I was heading down to Spring Street with a suitcase in my hand
Filled with love and life and grand illusion,
I knew you'd understand
I left you by the stairwell
And your eyes were wet with tears
Mother you knew you had to let me go,
Even after all these years

And we sing
Nah, nah-nah-nah, nah nah nah
She said
Nah-nah-nahnah nah nah nah
Walk on
Nah-nah nah, nah, nah nah nah
You're alright
Nah-nah, nah, nah nah nah nah

And I found myself a new life
I've been living with some friends
We hold on to dreams and live like kings,
Like the days will never end
I left him by the statue and his eyes were filled with tears
Lover you knew you had to let me go
Even after all these years
And we sing

Nah-nahnah-nah nah nah nah
He said
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah nah nah
Walk on
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah nah nah
You're alright
Nah-nah, nah, nah nah nah nah

Everything changes friends become strangers
What we hold so dear slips away
The past keeps on fading,
But I'll never forget you
It's hard to see that you're a part of me
Even when we have to say

Nah-nah, nah, nah,nah nah nah
Walk on
Nah-nah, nah, nah nah nah nah nah
We sing
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah nah nah
Well alright
Nah-nah, nah, nah nah nah nah

And I moved out of the city
To start a family of my own
When I look into my daughter's eyes,
I don't feel so alone
And as I walk her down to Spring Street
She holds on to my hand
Mother you knew my eyes would be wet with tears and now I understand

Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah nah nah
And I said
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah nah nah
Walk on
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah nah nah
Thank you
Nah-nah, nah, nah, nah nah nah
Walk on,
You're alright
Can't hold on
Nah-nah,nah, nah, nah nah nah

Vanessa Carlton - Hands On Me

Heroes & Thieves album
by Vanessa Carlton

I first saw you at the video exchange
I know my heart and it will never change
This temp work would be alright if you'd call me
You'd call me
I lay awake at night for you
And I pray

We'd cross the deepest oceans
Cargo across the sea
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me

The subway radiates with heat
We've barely met and still I cross the street to your door

We'd cross the deepest oceans
Cargo across the sea
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me

Someday when our stories are told
They'll tell of a love like this
When our descendents are all growing old
1,000 years they'll be singing
Nah-nah, nah-nah, nah, nah, nah

We'll climb Tibetan mountains
Where we can barely breathe
I'll see the Dali Lama
I'll feel him blessing me
And all the constellations
Shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
Your hands on me...

First saw you at the video exchange

Vanessa Carlton - Nolita Fairytale

Heroes & Thieves album
by Vanessa Carlton

I know, you know, we don?t see
We sow our truth, wait patiently

I walk the streets with a song in my head
We ebb and we flow so
Got my toes on my pup at the foot of my bed
My heart always seems to know
Now take the glitz back, I want the soul instead
Cos I found some kind of fairytale

I used to
Hover outside my truth
Always worry of what I?d lose
Take away my record deal
Go on, I don?t need it
Spent the last 2 years getting to what?s real
And now I can see so clear
I hope you feel just like I feel
I found some kind of fairytale

Want a garden by the ocean tide
Because I lose my way searching for stage lights
Well, Stevie knows and I thank her so
Cos it?s your seeds I sow
And now I know

Nolita flat on rent control
That?s the life I choose
And you drag me to the fashion show
The poses that I see through
The movies in the afternoon

Cos I found some kind of fairytale
Nolita Fairytale
Ba da da da da da, Ba da da da da da
Nolita Fairytale
Ba da da da da da, Ba da da da da da

Nolita Fairytale
Nolita Fairytale
Nolita Fairytale

Leann Rimes - When You Love Someone Like That feat. Reba McEntire

Family album
by Leann Rimes

I think it was me it must have been me
I guess I did something wrong
I tried too hard
Wanted too much
I guess that's why it's gone
I lost my pride, I falled and cried
I felt like a little kid
What's wrong with me?
Still can't believe
I did the things I did

I couldn't change him
He was gonna break my heart
I saw it comin
Yeah I knew it from the start

Chorus:
When you love(when you love)
When you love someone like that,when you give what you can't take back
When you love(when you love)
With all your heart and soul, it's so hard to let it go
When you love someone like that

(when you love someone like that)

Girl it aint right, it just aint right
Don't tell yourself that it was you
You followed your heart,you gave it your best
There's nothin more you can do
Guys like him are like the wind
And you know it's just too bad
They blow in and out again and never know what they had

Girl I can tell ya
He'll do the same to someone else it aint about you
So don't be so hard on yourself

Chorus

Reba: oh we've all loved and lost
It's happened to us all
LeAnn: I hear what you're sayin but I feel like the only one
Reba: You might feel right but you're not
You're alright (I'm alright)You're ok(I'm ok)
You're gonna make it anyway(both)

Chorus

Leann Rimes - Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore feat. Bon Jovi

Family album
by Leann Rimes

It might be hard to be lovers
But its harder to be friends
Baby pull down the covers
Its time you let me in
Maybe light a couple candles
Ill just go ahead and lock the door
If you just talk to me baby
Til we aint strangers anymore

Lay your head on my pillow
I sit beside you on the bed
Dont you think its time we say
Some things we havent said
It aint too late to get back to that place
Back to where, we thought it was before
Why dont you look at me
Til we aint strangers anymore

Sometimes its hard to love me
Sometimes its hard to love you too
I know its hard believing
That love can pull us through
It would be so easy
To live your life

With one foot out the door
Just hold me baby
Til we aint strangers anymore

Its hard to find forgivness
When we just run out of lies
Its hard to say youre sorry
When you cant tell wrong from right
It would be so easy
To spend your whole damn life
Just keeping score
So lets get down to it baby
There aint no need to lie

Tell me who you think you see
When you look into my eyes
Lets put our two hearts back together
And we'll leave the broken pieces on the floor
Make love with me baby
Til we aint strangers anymore

We're not strangers anymore
We're not strangers
We're not strangers anymore

Leann Rimes - What I Cannot Change

Family album
by Leann Rimes

I know what makes me comfortable
And I know what makes me tick
And I when I need to get my way
I know how to pour it on thick
Cream and sugar in my coffee
Right away when I awake
I face the day, and pray to God
I won't make the same mistakes

All the rest is out of my hands
I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, yeah I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

Yeah I don't know my father
Or my mother well enough
It seems like every time we talk
We can't get past the little stuff
The pain is self-inflicted
I know it's not good for my health
But it's easier to please the world
Then it is to please myself

All the rest is out of my hands
I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, yeah I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

Well I know I can't care about how everyone else really feels
I have enough hurt of my own to heal

I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, yeah I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

Leann Rimes - One Day Too Long

Family album
by Leann Rimes

You been gone
You been gone
You been gone one day
one day to long

I'm the kind of woman who understands
How the road can be so hard on a traveling man
I don't mind giving you a little room to breathe
Then you go and take advantage of my generosity
I'm home, waiting
Alone, aching
Your times run out cause
Yesterday this love could have been saved
Just crawl back out ain't no way

You been gone
You been gone
You been gone one day
One day too long

You know, I ain't a once in a while kind of thang

You see, love is being here for each other
Even with you standing right here, right now
right in front of my face
You're still looking right through me
Well, let me clear something up for you honey

I called you up
Told you I was
Missing, needing
To be soothed by you
Keep your reasons
I'm done pleasing
Ain't it funny now
I'm leaving, and your the one who's being left behind
God sent me a man who will give me my time

You been gone
You been gone
You been gone one day
One day too long

Leann Rimes - Upper Hand

Family album
by Leann Rimes

Honey on a teaspoon
Sugar in a bowl
An eager man's always an easy catch
Butter on the skillet
Whisky in a glass
To start a flame you've got to light a match

Ooh you got what he wants
You got what he wants
ooh

Got to get a hold, got to get a hold get a hold of your man
Better get him while, better get him while better get him while you can
Good to be a lion, good to be a lion instead of a lamb
Use what you got take the upperhand

Always be a lady
But tease him like a tramp
A temptation that's hard to resist
Treat him like a hero

Let him long to be your slave
Take advantage of your God given gift

Ooh you know what he wants
You know what he wants
ooh

Got to get a hold, got to get a hold get a hold of your man
Better get him while, better get him while better get him while you can
Good to be a lion, good to be a lion instead of a lamb
Use what you got take the upperhand

Generations before will testify it's true
Girl your gonna see how much he really loves you

Got to get a hold, got to get a hold get a hold of your man
Better get him while, better get him while better get him while you can
Good to be a lion, good to be a lion instead of a lamb
Use what you got take the upperhand

Leann Rimes - Pretty Things

Family album
by Leann Rimes

Mama's high heels
Cherry lipstick
And a goodwill dress
Play pretending
Dance for the mirror
A fairytale princess

Chorus:
Pretty things are yours to hold
My pretty thing, soon you will know
Pretty things you think you need
But not make you beautiful
Pretty things will rob you blind
Pretty things will fade with time
It's whats inside that makes you shine
My pretty thing

Its only natural
Tables turning
And gracefully I'll learn
How to cradle
The one who raised me
Be too fragile for this world

Chorus

Selfless and faithful
As good as you should be
Open and fearless
oooh what a gift you gave

Pretty things are yours to hold
My pretty thing, soon you will know
Pretty things you think you need
But not make you beautiful
Pretty things will rob you blind
Pretty things will fade with time
What lives inside you still shines
my pretty thing
my pretty thing

Pretty thing.....

Leann Rimes - Nothing Wrong feat. Marc Broussard

i would've slipped off my jeans
and slipped on my heels
if i knew that i would see you

cause it's been weighin on my mind
and messin with my life
i wonder should i feel guilty
but we've haven't crossed that line

we ain't doin nothin wrong
nothin wrong as long as we keep it innocent
i'm just tryin to have some fun
but baby you're drivin me crazy
i ain't tryin to make you crazy
for me it ain't much that fun
if we ain't doin nothin wrong

if you only knew
what you do to me
when you walk away
if i had chance, gave you a taste
baby you'd be beggin me to stay
yeah, sometimes i wonder what it'd feel like
but i gotta good man, and i'm a damn good wife

Leann Rimes - Doesn't Everybody

Family album
by Leann Rimes

You may have a tabloid life
Pay for all your friends
You may be a suburban wife
With your white picket fence
You may be a suit and tie
Paying off your high rise rent

When it all comes down
When it all comes down, baby
When it all comes down to it
Doesn't everybody want the same thing
To be loved
Doesn't everybody want the same thing
Why isn't that enough
Doesn't everybody want the same thing

You may be a night shift waitress
To send your kid through school
You may be a stubborn doctor
Pushing for the cure
You may be a bitter divorce
Wondering what he saw in her

When it all comes down
When it all comes down, baby
When it all comes down to it
Doesn't everybody want the same thing
To be loved
Doesn't everybody want the same thing
Why isn't that enough
Doesn't everybody want the same thing

When it all comes down
When it all comes down
When it all comes down to it
Doesn't everybody want the same thing
To be loved
Doesn't everybody want the same thing
Why isn't that enough
Doesn't everybody want the same thing
To be loved
Doesn't everybody want the same thing
Why isn't that enough
doesn't everybody want the same thing
Doesn't everybody want the same thing
Doesn't everybody
Doesn't everybody

We all want the same thing

Leann Rimes - I Want You With Me

Family album
by Leann Rimes

When I'm walking down the street
On a quiet afternoon
When I hear our favorite song
and it gets me in the mood
When I don't know who I am
And the world is not my friend
When I fight my way back up again

Chorus:
I... want you with me every move I make
I... want you to see all that I see
Through the laughter and the madness
and every moment in between
I........... I want you with me

When I tell my daddy bye
For the very last time
When I learn a whole new love
In our baby's first cry
When you can tell I've done it all
By the lines on my face
When I start regretting my mistakes

Chorus

Leann Rimes - Something I Can Feel

Family album
by Leann Rimes

Cross my heart and I swear the truth
Love was dead to me until I met you
I spent a lot of time building up these walls
Then you come strutting in with your wrecking ball
Just another girl defeated
Until you gave me what I needed

Something I can feel
Something I can feel deep down
What did I do to deserve
Someone who gives me a love
That gets better and better and better

Sometimes I've got to bite my tongue
It even freaks me out the way I talk you up
You're like a back flip off a trampoline
You just say my name, I'm dizzy on my feet
When my day goes numb and empty
You know exactly how to give me

Something I can feel
Something I can feel deep down
You know you're striking a nerve
That keeps making this
Better and better and better
Something I can feel
I never ever need to ask for more, no
What did I do to deserve
Someone who gives me a love
That gets better and better and better

What did I
What did I do to find someone who gives me love
What did I
What did I do to find someone who gives me love

Something I can feel
Something I can feel deep down
You know you're striking a nerve
That keeps making this
Better and better and better
Something I can feel
I never ever need to ask for more, no
What did I do to deserve
Someone who gives me a love
That gets better and better and better

What did I
What did I do to find someone who gives me love
Somethign I can feel
What did I
What did I do to find someone who gives me your love
Something I can feel
What did I
What did I do to find someone who gives me love

Leann Rimes - Good Friend And A Glass Of Wine

Family album
by Leann Rimes

I need a good friend

Well who died and crowned me everybody's everything?
I'm even busting my butt through the weekend
By the time I get home there's not an ounce of sanity
Between the dogs, my mama's calls, is it against the law
For me to get what I need?

A good friend and a glass of wine
Someone to say it's going to be alright
A good friend and a glass of wine
A little pick me up to get me through the night
We talk trash and we laugh and cry
That kind of therapy, money can't buy
Every now and then, every now and then
Every girl needs
A good friend and a glass of wine

I don't need to jet off on no vacation for a week
I'd be happy to have a happy hour
When I'm tired and I'm fried
It gets me right back on my feet
Yeah, any kind red or white, a little sister time
It's every smart girl's secret

A good friend and glass of wine
Someone to say it's going to be alright
A good friend and glass of wine
A little pick me up to get me through the night
We talk trash and we laugh and cry
That kind of therapy, money can't buy
Every now and then, every now and then
Every girl needs
A good friend and a glass of wine

A good friend and a glass of wine
Someone to say it's going to be alright
A good friend and a glass of wine
A little pick me up to get me through the night
We talk trash and we laugh and cry
That kind of therapy, money can't buy
Every now and then, every now and then
Every girl needs
Every now and then, every now and then
Ever girl needs
A good friend and glass of wine

Good friend and a glass of wine
Don't you know that every girl needs
A good friend and glass of wine

Leann Rimes - Fight

Family album
by Leann Rimes

Hush, hush
Why don't you want to talk about it?
Bitch, bitch
You don't need to sugar coat it
I don't want us to ever get
To the point where we can't recover

Break, break
We're allowed to have our moments
Go on, spell it out
Ain't nothing wrong with being honest
I can take it, go ahead, let it out
Let's get it over and done with

I don't want to fight anymore
'Cause every minute that we fight
Is a moment that we could be loving
Lay down with me tonight
I don't want to fight

We could
Start a war with both our tempers
Tomorrow
I bet you anything we won't remember
Who was right or who was wrong
What we said, but we'll regret what we lost

No, I don't want to fight anymore
'Cause every minute that we fight
Is a moment that we could be loving
Lay down with me tonight
I don't want to fight

We're taking for granted
How good we have it
Let's laugh till we cry
And get back to what matters
Oh, it matters

No, I don't want to fight anymore
'Cause every minute that we fight
Is a moment we could be loving
Lay down with me tonight

No, I don't really want to fight anymore
'Cause every minute that we fight
Is a moment that we could be loving
Lay down with me tonight
I don't want to fight
No, I don't want to fight
I don't want to fight

Leann Rimes - Nothin' Better To Do

Family album
by Leann Rimes

Hung my cotton dress on rusted wire
Up there on Pelahatchie bridge
Just a crazy roughnecks daughter
Jumped head first into the water
Baptized away my sins

Hitched to town with Bobby Jo and Tommy
Couple of lookers new best friends
We slipped in back of Sunday service
Know them church ladies they heard us
Bum smoke money from the offering

Mamma said "Idle hands are
Devil's handy work"
Oh the trouble you'll get into
When you got nothin' better to do, got nothing better to
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sign read bait, chips, beer and ammunition
That slim-Jim bag boy hadn't a prayer
I hiked my skirt and did the talkin'
While them boys were busy walkin'
Case of .5 out the back door

Hid deep in the Mississippi back woods
We danced and played around til' dark
I had them wrestling for my first kiss
Turned into a fight and they missed
Me speeding off in Tommy's car

Mamma said "Idle hands are
Devil's handy work"
Oh the trouble you'll get into
When you got nothin' better to do, got nothing better to
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Nobody hurt, nobody harmed
Nobody's business but my own

Mamma said "Idle hands are
Devil's handy work"
Oh the trouble you'll get into
When you got nothin' better to do, got nothing better to
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Leann Rimes - Family

Family album
by Leann Rimes

Mama's crying again
Her baby's nowhere to be found
The world has gone and taken her away
Daddy went and ran off
With some white trash half his age
Left me at home to pay for his mistakes

And my sister held my hand
When that bad boy broke me heart
Ain't no miles, Ain't no man
Could ever tear us apart

Now here I stand
On roots that deep
We laugh, we cry
We hurt, we bleed
We're best of friends
And worst enemies
We're all to blame
We're all the same
Make no apologies
This is my family

Can't forget the night
That Uncle William passed away
We were forced to recognize his weird disease
I ran away and ran around
With a man twice my age
Ain't it funny how some things never change

Now here I stand
On roots that deep
We laugh, we cry
We hurt, we bleed
We're best of friends
And worst enemies
We're all to blame
We're all the same
Make no apologies
This is my family
Oh, this is my family

Don't you try to shame my name
'Cause to the death I will defend
Yeah, there blood rund through my veins
It's where I start and where I'll end

Now here I stand
On roots that deep
We laugh, we cry
We hurt, we bleed
We're best of friends
And worst enemies
We're all to blame
We're all the same
Make no apologies
This is my family
Oh, this is my family
Yeah, we call this family
Oh, this is my family

Stereophonics - Drowning

Pull The Pin album
by Stereophonics

I don't know why
I don't know what is wrong
Oh no
Is karma gonna get me?
At times that's all I see
It's not real

Wanna feel
Wanna feel, like I did before

Mornings I can't breathe
Wave crashes over me
And drowns me
Wind's running rings around me
It takes me time to see
What is real?

Wanna feel
Wanna feel
Like I did before
Like I did before

Time changes things
Like I never thought
Like I never saw?

Time changes me
I'm like I never was
Oh no

I'm looling back to what I was
I've seen my face right on the floor
And I love you, being around
I say it again, I'm not fucking around

I've seen in before
I'll see ut again
It's knocking my door
And it never pretends
I'm down on my knees
And I don't know where to go to find my way back home

I'm drowning
I'm drowning
I'm drowning
I'm drowning

Stereophonics - Crush

Pull The Pin album
by Stereophonics

We swapped our lines late last night then
We started talking truths til noon
Yeah noon
We fantasize of kidnap tie me up and tease me in your boots
Yeah you

I like to feel the crush it makes me feel alive
To have you in my life, than not it just feels right
And when the sun goes down the moonlight paints the night
That's when the sleeping dog awakes and comes alive

I like to fight for the right to light up a cigarette for you
Boo hoo
Although the timing's not right, my head spins around and round for you
Yeah you

I like to feel the crush it makes me feel alive
To have you in my life, than not it just feels right
And when the sun goes down the moonlight paints the night
That's when the sleeping dog awakes and comes alive

Come back now
Come back now
Come back and stay
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
It's alright, it's alright it makes me feel alive
To have you in my life, than not it just feels right
I'm alive

Stereophonics - Lady Luck

Pull The Pin album
by Stereophonics

We're falling now, can't make it stop
Our arms are open for the thing we want
But what we want just can't have
What could've been but the timing's bad
Don't cry cry baby now
You're my my Lady Luck

We follow the signs to make us meet
Into the night, to places no-one sees
I never learned from looking back
You picked me up from off my back
But now it seems our time has passed

Don't cry cry baby now
You're my my Lady Luck
You picked me up right off my back
I'd fallen down you brought me up
We shared the night until the morning comes to take us
Back away to where, we chose to belong
But maybe we're wrong but we gotta be strong
There's too much to loose
And maybe we're fools, who knows
Who knows, who knows

We follow the signs to make us meet
Into the night, to places no-one sees

Stereophonics - Bright Red Star

Pull The Pin album
by Stereophonics

Mary is my bright red star
She caught the train to work in the morning when she got up
And then she'd call me up, just to wake me up
But she's alright
She's alright

Mary is my bright red star
She likes to look at the pink sky just before the day turns dark
And then she'd call me up, just to wind me up
But she's alright
She's alright

Mary is my bright red star
She wears a hat in the sun, pink nails and her bleach blond locks
And then she'd call me up, so we could meet up
But she's alright
She's alright

Mary is my bright red star
We just talk into the night about nothing in particular
And then she'd hang me up, until she'd wake me up
But she's alright
She's alright
She's alright
She's alright

Stereophonics - I Could Lose Ya

Pull The Pin album
by Stereophonics

Oocha
Click click then you hang the phone up
After talking late into the daylight
Telling stories how we'd like to do it
The mind can be a playground if you use it
She could go down on me in a theatre
I'd stroke her head, look round over my shoulder
We'd get kicked out we'd walk along the pier
I'd try to get my hand under her jumper

Yes I could lose ya
If I choose to
Why would I wanna do that?
Yes I could lose ya
If I choose to
Why would I wanna do that?

Drip drip the rain upon my window
Wanna lay down still and just be near you
Get the keys and take the Karmann Ghia
Along the coast to buy a couple of beers
She could dance and look across the water
Dream of ways to run away together
The sun sets and glows across the ocean
Shooting star reminds us that it feels good

Yes I could lose ya
If I choose to
Why would I wanna do that?
Yes I could lose ya
If I choose to
Why would I wanna do that?
