BE YOURSELF

Do those blue jeans make you look fat?
Your hair and make-up are not all that?
Are your teeth as white as can be?
Isn't there someone you'd rather be?

Be yourself everybody else is taken
And no one else can do the things you do
Let your heart write the music that you're making
You be you everybody else is taken

Expensive hobbies diamonds and gold
Brand new bodies that never grow old
Bigger houses bigger cars
They are the Joneses you're who you are

Be yourself everybody else is taken
And no one else can do the things you do
Let your heart write the music that you're making
You be you everybody else is taken

You want to fly like the birds
Take your life story and change the words
For something greener on the other side
But hey there's something you haven't tried

Be yourself everybody else is taken
And no one else can do the things you do
Let your heart write the music that you're making
You be you everybody else is taken

COURAGEOUS

Every step is the same
Whether in the sunshine or in the rain
If you can hold on even through the pain
Show up tomorrow do it all again
Show up tomorrow do it all again
You'll have better luck, better luck

You are you are courageous
Walk on Walk on
These are the times can make us courageous and strong

There's a bigger plan that's what they say
But you've still got to make it through today
You may be feeling scared want to run away
But if you choose to look fear in the face
If you choose to look fear in the face
You'll have better luck, better luck

You are you are courageous
Walk on Walk on
These are the times can make us courageous and strong

Life is hard, that's how it goes
You've come this far, you've got to know that

You are you are courageous
Walk on Walk on
These are the times can make us courageous and strong

CRY A LITTLE

Remember when we used to dance together down by the lake
Baby you're the only man who could make the ground shake
Maybe it's a major hurt maybe it's a minor chord
Maybe it's a broken heart maybe it's a love ignored

Why I cry a little every time the fiddle plays
Oh you're gone but the song stays
And I die a little when I think about the days that passed us by
And I cry every time the fiddle plays

I never have understood why you left when you did
You said it was for my good you've never even seen your kid
Maybe it's a major deal, maybe it's a minor change
Maybe it's a broken vow, maybe it's love estranged

Why I cry a little every time the fiddle plays
Oh you're gone but the song stays
And I die a little when I think about the days that passed us by
And I cry every time the fiddle plays

Maybe we were meant to be maybe we were mismatched
But I'll always have my memories and there'll always be strings attached

I cry a little every time the fiddle plays
Oh you're gone but the song stays
And I die a little when I think about the days that passed us by
And I cry every time the fiddle plays

GRASSY

Let's stay here in the country, baby how does that sound?
Hum a tune under the gum tree, maybe even fiddle around
Flat pick us some wildwood flowers nothing really fancy
Get down and get a little grassy

Rock me roll me I know you know I wanna play
Right here hold me hey what's a little hay
While we're down here might as well let it be
Swampy, dirty, messy get a little grassy

All we need to get unwound is to both kick off our shoes
And play the inhibition break down baby I'll give you the cues
Don't worry about the mud, the crud, the bugs, the birds, the bees
Get down and get a little grassy

Rock me roll me I know you know I wanna play
Right here hold me hey what's a little hay
While we're down here might as well let it be
Swampy dirty messy get a little grassy

It started in the garden with Adam and Eve
They weren't too worried, why should we be?

Rock me roll me I know you know I wanna play
Right here hold me hey what's a little hay
While we're down here might as well let it be
Swampy dirty messy, filthy muddy dusty
Get a little grassy

I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU

I said to you forever
And forever knew
That it could bring whatever
I'll take care of you

You're doing what you're doing
The days are whipping through
You may not even notice
But I'll take care of you

I will lift you up and hold you so high
I'll give you all my love I promise to

As long as you're the winner
They all love what you do
But when you are the loser
I'll take care of you

I will lift you up and hold you so high
I'll give you all my love I promise to

Looking at the twilight
Our life in review
I'll gently kiss you goodnight
I'll take care of you

I said to you forever
I'll take care of you

SAFE

When I'm not in love I'm feeling no pain
And if I don't play, I won't lose again
If I don't care then I don't care
'Cause I can't go wrong if I don't go there
So much for being safe

Yeah I've been tough yeah I've been strong
Stuck to my guns baby all along
I even watched you walk away
So much for being safe

I turn away don't get involved
I stay safe behind a wall
I close my eyes cover up my ears
Thinking I'm so wise living without fear
So much for being safe

Yeah I'm been tough yeah I've been strong
Stuck to my guns baby all along
I even watched you walk away
So much for being safe

On second thought I love you
On second thought I love you

Yeah I'm been tough yeah I've been strong
Stuck to my guns baby all along
I even watched you walk away
So much for being safe

PEOPLE DON'T CHANGE

If you're living with him and you think he's strange
You better brace yourself 'cause people don't change
Lord I know people don't change
Lord I know people don't change

Caterpillars turn butterflies
But they ain't wrapped up in a bunch of lies
I know people don't change
Lord I know people don't change

He says he will, you wait it out
It's the same old drill and then the drought
I know people don't change
Lord I know people don't change

The kitchen sink you can modify
But I'm a little bit skeptical about your guy
'Cause I know people don't change
Lord I know people don't change

If you could change the world or change your mind
If I were you I'd change my mind
'Cause I know people don't change
Lord I know people don't change

You wanna believe and you hold out hope
But if you're asking me the answers nope
I know people don't change
Lord I know people don't change

He says he will to chill the doubt
Same old drill and then the drought
I know people don't change
Lord I know people don't change

You know leaving's the right thing to do
But you'll be staying if I know you
'Cause I know people don't change
Lord, I know people don't change

STILL HERE

You are why I'm always working late just to keep a job I hate
You are why the boy inside of me has become the man you see
You are why I used to drink too much and why I haven't touched a drop in years
You are why I'm still here

You are why I have so much to do that I take it out on you
You are why I need to dye my hair and the reason I still care
Your arms are the only place I know where I can fall asleep and never fear
You are why I'm still here

We are not the same two people we were when we fell in love
We know there is so much more to the two of us than just the two of us

I am lucky you stuck around, lucky I ever found you
I agree, you are lucky I stuck around but if I'd left you Lord knows where Id be
You are so much a part of me that without you I just might disappear
You are why I'm still here
You are why I'm still here
You are why I'm still here

OUTSIDE

I feel these four walls closing
My world's come down to a screen
It's not healthy not good for anybody
We're flesh and blood not machines
I know where I need to be

Outside the sun is shining and the wind is blowing cobwebs away
Outside the great wide open there's flowers growing in the light of day
If you wanna feel alive you gotta get outside

I long to be back in the saddle
Get back in touch with something real
Slow float down some lazy river and stop long enough to heal
And feel what I'm supposed to feel

Outside the sun is shining and the wind is blowing cobwebs away
Outside the great wide open there's flowers growing in the light of day
If you wanna feel alive you gotta get outside

Stuck in this place doing the same old same thing
It's a tiny little box and you and me ought to be thinking

Outside the moon is rising and the stars are lighting up the milky way
Outside we could start a fire hear a night bird choir sing a serenade
Outside the sun is shining and the wind is blowing cobwebs away
Outside the great wide open there's flowers growing in the light of day
If you wanna feel alive you gotta get outside
You gotta get outside

BAD DAY

I'm not that complicated
What you see is what you get
I try to live my life without doing things I might regret
Sometimes I trip and fall
Don't take it personal

I'm just having a bad day baby
Don't try to figure me out
The girl you love will soon come back around
I'm just having a tough one baby
What more can I say
If I were you I'd be nice to me today
I'm having a bad day

You know I'm crazy bout you
And I know that you love me
And you'd love to fix what's making me so unhappy
But there's nothing you can do to help
Right now I'm just not myself

I'm just having a bad day baby
Don't try to figure me out
The girl you love will soon come back around
I'm just having a tough one baby
What more can I say
If I were you I'd be nice to me today
'Cause I'm having a bad day

Find me something to hit
Then I'll get over it

I'm just having a bad day baby
Every now and then
The girl you love gets in an awful spin
Yeah I'm just having a bad day baby
Best stay out of my way
If I were you I'd be extra nice today
'Cause I'm having a bad day

UNDERSTANDING

You ask what I need and I said all I need is your time
But you send me flowers and wonder why that makes me cry
If you think I'm overemotional strange or demanding
You're not understanding

It's not just because men and women see things differently
'Cause as long as I've known you I'd hope that by now you'd know me
And it's no good you trying to stop my tears as they are landing
You're not understanding

Maybe it's all because of me there's no other way to make you see
That we should have all we need right where we're standing
If you think I'm heading for the door because I don't love you anymore
You're not understanding
You're not understanding

Sometimes I wish you had simply done something so wrong
So I could just hate you and I could begin to move on
If you think I'm hopeful and happy about what is happening
You're not understanding

Maybe it's all because of me there's no other way to make you see
That we should have all we need right where we're standing
If you think I'm heading for the door because I don't love you anymore
You're not understanding
You're not understanding

Thank you for all those flowers thank you for all that wine
Thank you for all the hours with your body next to mine
Thank you for loving me like only you can do
Thank you thank you

Thanks for the dirty dishes and all the times you didn't call
Thanks for showing me how my best friend wasn't such a good friend after all
And thanks for telling the kind of lies that I could see right through
Thank you thank you

I wouldn't wanna have dinner with you
But I couldn't have found this happiness without you without you
I don't wanna seem ungrateful unlady like or hateful
So thank you thank you

Thank you and thank God you never showed up with a diamond ring
And thanks for knowing it was over before I was smart enough to
Thank you thank you thank you

Thank you for all the hours with your body next to mine
Now I know what not to look for when I look for someone new Thank you...no thank you

AWAKE NOW

I'm awake now no mistake now
I'm awake
It's ok now I am safe now
I'm awake I'm awake
I'm awake now

For those of you who think I'm sleeping
As you stand beside the bed
For those of you who may be weeping
Don't look for me among the dead

I'm awake now no mistake now
I'm awake
It's ok now I am safe now
I'm awake I'm awake
I'm awake now

As I'm moving to the clearing
Familiar faces all around
There's this music that I'm hearing
Wonderful other worldly sound

I'm awake now no mistake now
I'm awake
It's ok now I am safe now
I'm awake I'm awake
I'm awake now

I wondered if I would get thru it
And come out on the other side
What you've heard there's something to it
Now my eyes are open wide

I'm awake now no mistake now
I'm awake
It's ok now I am safe now
I'm awake I'm awake
I'm awake now
I am safe It's ok now
I'm awake
I'm awake now

BIG WORLD SMALL WORLD

When you’re feeling all alone
Just pick up the telephone
Wherever you are, you are home
It’s a big world, it’s a small world

Jokes for laughing, tears to cry
Babies born and old folks die
Where on earth don’t that apply
It’s a big world, it’s a small world

It’s a big world, it’s a small world
It’s a weird, wild, wide-open, wonderful world
And we’ll always think we’re different and we’ll always be the same
‘Cause we’re going one direction in a million different ways

Every single lonely heart
Thinks they’re the only one in the dark
But somewhere someone’s wishing on the same star
It’s a big world, it’s a small world

It’s a big world, it’s a small world
It’s a weird, wild, wide-open, wonderful world
And we’ll always think we’re different and we’ll always be the same
‘Cause we’re going one direction in a million different ways

No matter where you’re standing
We all want the same thing
Peace and love and understanding
It’s a big world, it’s a small world

It’s a big world, it’s a small world
It’s a weird, wild, wide-open, wonderful world
And we’ll always think we’re different and we’ll always be the same
‘Cause we’re going one direction in a million different ways

And we’ll always think we’re different and we’ll always be the same
‘Cause we’re going one direction in a million different ways

THAT WAS THE PLAN

You took me out on a date
I said I wouldn’t out too late
Agreed to let you just hold my hand
I drew a line in the sand
You tried to kiss me in your car
I warned you to stay where you are
Definitely didn’t want no man
At least that was the plan
At least that was the plan

Well I’m about to drop my fifth child
Other four running wild
Chewing gum in her hair
Fire started over there
They’re all yelling and I’m thinking to myself
I only meant to hold your hand
At least that was the plan

Now they’re running with scissors and they’re falling out of trees
I kiss and make better all the skinned up knees
Uh ah honey don’t paint the cat she won’t look good like that
And I’m climbing over words that they wrote on the wall
Number two poked three right in the eyeball
Cool, calm, collected that’s what I am
At least that was the plan
At least that was the plan

Well I’m about to drop my fifth child
Other four running wild
Chewing gum in her hair
Fire started over there
They’re all yelling and I’m thinking to myself
I only meant to hold your hand
At least that was the plan

Solo

You know I love my baby they’re my family
But on the days they get the best of me
I carry on the best I can

Now they finish their dinner and it’s up the stairs
I tuck them into bed and then we say our prayers
I thank God it isn’t in my hands
I guess that was the plan
I guess that was the plan

Melinda Schneider/ Gordon Kennedy

 

STRONGER

This is my stop it’s time to get off
Though I’m not too sure where I’m going
I’ve spent the best part of my life so far in a love that just wasn’t growing
But 10 years can change the world, totally make a girl different to when she was younger
And spending these years beside you made me stronger

You held my hand when I lost my dad
We cried for what seemed like forever
Now we’re crying again shaking our heads as we share one more ending together
We gave it our best and it’s hard to accept that this love couldn’t last any longer
But spending these years beside you made me stronger

It so hard to let you go
It’s so sad how we both know

This is my stop it’s time to get off
Though I’m not too sure where I’m going
I’ve spent the best part of my life so far in a love that just wasn’t growing
But 10 years can change the world, totally make a girl different to when she was younger
And spending these years beside you made me stronger
Spending these years beside you
Spending these years beside you makes me stronger

SEND THEM LOVE

Had a friend, do me wrong
And it nearly did me in till I caught on
The way to heal a hurt like this
Isn’t easy but the only answer is

Send them love
When your heart is breaking
It’s the only way to get you past the point of constant aching
Surrender all the negative stuff
Before the anger eats you up
Send them love

When you give in to bitter thoughts
And hatred starts to build it’s hard to stop
The hardest choice you’ll ever make
Is to take the road few ever choose to take

Send them love
When your heart is breaking
It’s the only way to get you past the point of constant aching
Surrender all the negative stuff
Before the anger eats you up
Send them love

solo

Send them love
Though it’s not human nature
To offer up forgiveness when they cut you like a razor
Surrender all the negative stuff
Before the anger eats you up
Send them love
When your heart is breaking
It’s the only way to get you past the point of constant aching
Surrender all the negative stuff
Before the anger eats you up
Send them love

Jerry Salley/ Melinda Schneider

 

TRULY TRUE LOVE

Anybody can find someone
To rev ‘em up and turn ‘em on
And baby it’s a lot of fun but then what
When a little time has past
You take off your Mardi Gras mask
That’s when you know if you really have the right stuff

Truly true love
It’s full on fightin’ then kissin’ all night even though I know I’m right and you’re wrong
Truly true love
Baby it’s the glue keeping me and you holding onto what we know that we couldn’t do on our own
Making love when we first wake up
That’s the icing on the cake but
Seeing me without my make- up
That’s truly truly

We’ve been down and up and down
Thought of throwing in the towel
And we’re far from perfect now but so what
‘Cause it’s about the ride we take
And the memories we make
And the way the earth still quakes when we touch

Truly true love
It’s full on fightin’ then kissin’ all night even though I know I’m right and you’re wrong
Truly true love
Baby it’s the glue keeping me and you holding onto what we know that we couldn’t do on our own
Making love when we first wake up
That’s the icing on the cake but
Seeing me without my make- up
That’s truly true love

IN YOUR HEAD

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen from the inside out
And in my minds eye there’s a mountain of mile high doubt
Tell me what’s wrong tell me what’s going on in your head
It’s a long lonely row to hoe this trying to get down to your soul
And yes I’m a mess from the tossing turning losing sleep from all the secrets that you keep
Chasing you in circles just to get inside your head

You’re a deep well I’m determined baby I’m hell bent
On getting closer Lord knows this ain’t over yet
Don’t be afraid baby, you gotta say what’s in your head
It’s a long lonely row to hoe this trying to get down to your soul
And yes I’m a mess from the tossing turning losing sleep from all the secrets that you keep
Chasing you in circles just to get inside your head

I just wanna know you break through finally get to

What’s in your head
It’s a long lonely row to hoe this trying to get down to your soul
And yes I’m a mess from the tossing turning losing sleep from all the secrets that you keep
Chasing you in circles just to get inside your
It’ll all be worth it when I get inside your
Baby you just gotta let me get inside your head

THE LETTING GO

They both feel it when they kiss
And it breaks his heart the way it’s breaking his
Another night pretending nothing’s wrong
But they both know that she’s already gone

Chorus
He’s holding onto yesterday but he knows she can’t live this way
And there’s certain things a man just can’t control
Like the distance in her eyes, like the truth he can’t deny
And the heartache that’s about to take it’s toll
Anyone who’s ever been there and survived has come to know the moving on is in the letting go

Maybe she just needs time to herself
Maybe she’s in love with someone else
There’s some answers he don’t wanna know
Some places that a man don’t wanna go

He’s holding onto yesterday but he knows she can’t live this way
And there’s certain things a man just can’t control
Like the distance in her eyes, like the truth he can’t deny
And the heartache that’s about to take it’s toll
Anyone who’s ever been there and survived has come to know the moving on is in the letting go

REST YOUR WEARY MIND

Life can be a hard gravel road
And the weight of the world is one heavy load
When you need a place to just lay low
And hear somebody say

Rest your weary mind
I promise you’ll be fine
I’ll rock you in these arms of mine
Come rest your weary mind

There’s a sadness coming thru
That’s nothin’ like the girl I knew
So if you need someone to just love you
I will softly say

Rest your weary mind
I promise you’ll be fine
I’ll rock you in these arms of mine
Come rest your weary mind

I LIKE MEN IN TRUCKS

There’s reportedly a straight man at my local hair salon
His skin is smooth, he’s manicured what the hell is going on
I tell you girls I think the word metro sexual sucks
Call me what you will, it’s how I feel
I like men in trucks

Won’t walk around beside a man who’s prettier than me
I want my beauty secrets to remain a mystery
But a hairy chest and steel toe boots are worth a million bucks
Yeah that’s the deal it’s how I feel
I like men in trucks

Callused hands make- eth the man
One of the easy loving, bread in the oven, hard working brand
So if you can’t change a tyre boy, you’re slap outa luck
Take the wheel, it’s how I feel
I like men in trucks

Solo

Callused hands make-eth the man
He’s one of the easy lovin’ bread in the over, no-one above him, hard workin’ brand
So get yourself a flatbed boy and see what you pick-up
Keep it real it’s how I feel
That’s the deal it’s how I feel
I like men in trucks

Yeah that’s the deal it’s how I feel
I like men in trucks

 

YOU ARE SOMETHING ELSE

Been moved to tears
Been stilled by what I saw
And through the years
I think I’ve pretty much seen it all

Seven seas and heavenly symphonies
Rows of red roses in bloom
Eiffel tower and Van Gough’s sunflowers
I’ve seen a man on the moon
I stood there amazed by the beauty and wonder
Took it all in and I said ‘that was something’ but
You are something else

Everything I seen
You’re still the fairest one
Baby everything
Pales in comparison

Mountain summits and desert sunsets
Fireflies that dance on the night
Weeping willows and perfect rainbows
I’ve seen the great Northern lights
I stood there amazed by the beauty and wonder
Took it all in and I said ‘that was something’ but
You are something else

And something else
You’re something more
Something that’s never been before

Solo

Eiffel tower and Van Gough’s sunflowers
I’ve seen a man on the moon
I stood there amazed by the beauty and wonder
Took it all in and I said ‘that was something’ but
You are something else
You are something else
You are something else

FIFTEEN AGAIN

I’m finding it hard to concentrate
Can’t wipe this smile back off my face
Well what I’m thinking ain’t no sin
You make me feel fifteen again

Yeah I’ve forgotten how good it feels
To have found a love where the wounded heal
I pray to God this never ends
‘Cause you make me feel fifteen again

You’ve got to be kidding me
The way you’re bringing out the kid in me
I said yeah yeah yeah what is this feeling inside
It’s been some time since butterflies

Yeah I’d do anything for this
Anything to taste one more sweet kiss
Oh baby just tell me where and when
‘Cause you make me feel fifteen, feel fifteen
You make me feel fifteen again

Solo

You’ve got to be kidding me
The way you’re bringing out the kid in me
Singing yeah yeah yeah what is this feeling inside
It’s been so long since butterflies

I’m finding it hard to concentrate
Oh let alone contemplate
You taking me back to what I felt back then
‘Cause you make me feel fifteen, feel fifteen, you make me feel fifteen again

Yeah you make me feel fifteen, feel fifteen, you make me feel fifteen again

SOMETIMES IT TAKES BALLS TO BE A WOMAN

She’s a socialite and a decent housewife and she makes a mean lasagna
So when the mechanic, said “Lady don’t panic, I would never con ya”
She said “I know I don’t need my engine rebuilt, just check the oil and change the belt,
Honey, I know you thought you saw me coming”
Sometimes it takes balls to be a woman

Chorus
Sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
Standing up to the test, wearing a party dress
Sometimes looks can be deceiving when you’re quietly over-achieving
Yeah sometimes it takes balls to be a woman

He said I should repent for the money I spent on shoes and bags and jewelry
I said “To hell with that, my hard working ass ain’t gonna sit before a jury”
“After work I cook and clean it’s true, but if I held my breath I’d die waiting for you to cut the grass that’s a growin’ an fix the tap in the kitchen that needs a plummmin’
Yes, sometimes it takes balls to be a woman

Chorus
Sometimes It takes balls to be a woman
Standing up to the test, wearing a party dress
Sometimes looks can be deceiving when you’re quietly over-achieving
Yeah sometimes it takes balls to be a woman

Sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
Standing up to the test wearing a party dress
Sometimes looks can be deceiving when you’re quietly over-achieving
Yeah sometimes it takes balls to be a woman
Look at Dolly and Loretta, they still live it to the letter
Sometimes it takes balls to be, big big big big balls to be
Sometimes it takes balls to be a woman

FAMILY TREE

He wants to add to the family tree
He wants at least two or three
He’s been waiting impatiently
For me to add to the family tree
There’s lots of hugs and kissing everything is oh so sweet
But he says there’s something missing, the pitter patter of little feet
He’s positively clucky like a rooster in a chicken house
Dirty nappies on the line, coochie cooing all the time
Does he know what he’s talking about
He wants to add to the family tree
He wants at least two or three
He’s been waiting impatiently
For me to add to the family tree
He came home with a boot load of stuff to paint the spare room blue
Lego and some play dough and a Bob the builder tool box too
He’s oh so gung ho, guess it’s time for me to face the fact
I’ll be feet up on the couch with a Joey in my pouch
Getting ready for an broken back
He wants to add to the family tree
He wants at least two or three
He’s been waiting impatiently
For me to add to the family tree
Dirty nappies on the line, coochie cooing all the time
I guess doesn’t sound so bad if he’s cute and cuddly
And looks a little bit like me with more hair than his dad
He wants to add to the family tree
He wants at least two or three
But right now one’ll do me
To add to the family tree
Add to the family 
Add to the family
Add to the family tree

SGT. BEAN

At the station they all called him Sgt. Bean
But at our house he was just plain dad to me
My mother’s biggest fan
A strong and steady man
And we got by on his philosophy
We’re not here for a long time
We gotta promise to have a good time
We’re not living forever
We gotta promise to stick together
40 years of service, he was tough
But we’d sing “wind beneath my wings” 
and he’d tear up
I’ve got a million memories, 
mum on the ukelaylee
And the perfect harmony, the 3 of us singing
We’re not here for a long time
We gotta promise to have a good time
We’re not living forever
We gotta promise to stick together
There’s days I can’t believe he’s really gone
When I run out of reasons to be strong
That’s when I swear I hear his voice in my ear
Saying “Lulu dry your tears, life goes on”
We’re not here for a long time
We gotta promise to have a good time
We’re not living forever
We gotta promise to stick together
We’ll always be together

 

BEAUTIFUL THING

What we’ve got is a beautiful thing
What we’ve got is a beautiful thing
What we’ve got is a beautiful thing
What we’ve got is a beautiful thing
What we’ve got is a wonderful, beautiful, magical thing
All I needed was a hand to hold
A solid love that would never let go
What we’ve got is a wonderful, beautiful, magical thing
When I’m with you ooh ooh ooh
Got the windows down
When I’m with you ooh ooh ooh
They’re gonna hear us all over town singing
What we’ve got is a beautiful thing
What we’ve got is a beautiful thing
What we’ve got is a wonderful, beautiful, magical thing
When I’m with you ooh ooh ooh
Got the windows down
When I’m with you ooh ooh ooh
They’re gonna hear us all over town singing
What we’ve got is a beautiful thing
What we’ve got is a beautiful thing
What we’ve got is a wonderful, beautiful, magical unrepeatable, totally unbeatable
We’ve got a wonderful, beautiful, magical thing.

WALK THAT WIRE

Eighteenth birthday she said “I’m on my way”
Big bus covered in dust off to find a circus
They’ll make her jump through rings of fire
She’ll have to learn to walk that wire
Walk that wire
Her father’s daughter here’s what he taught her
Dream big, don’t quit, keep focused on it
And never lose your hearts desire
Look straight ahead and walk that wire
Walk that wire
Don’t look down
Walk that wire
Don’t look down
Walk that wire
And never lose your hearts desire
Look straight ahead and walk that wire
Walk that wire
Don’t look down
Walk that wire 
Don’t look down
Walk that wire
Walk that wire
Walk that wire

 

DREAM HIM HOME

She reaches out to his side of the bed
She hears his voice but only in her head
After forty years it’s hard to be alone
So tonight she’ll go to sleep and dream him home
Dream him home
Dream him home
Oh tonight she’ll go to sleep and dream him home
The nights are bad, but morning’s even worse
Unprepared for how much losing true love hurts
But she makes it through the day because she knows
That tonight she’ll go to sleep and dream him home
Dream him home
Dream him home
Oh tonight she’ll go to sleep and dream him home
Dream him home
Dream him home
Oh tonight she’ll go to sleep and dream him home

THE HEALING POWER OF HELPLESS LAUGHTER

The healing power of helpless laughter
Will keep us well forever after
We can lose ourselves and find each other
In the healing power of helpless laughter

The healing power of helpless laughter
Will be ours in all disaster
We’ll bring the roof down and then the rafters
With the healing power of helpless laughter

It can turn a stranger into a lover
Help us carry one another
Out of rooms we won’t remember
To the shelter through the rain

The healing power of helpless laughter
Will keep us well forever after
We can lose ourselves and find each other
In the healing power of helpless laughter

Don Walker/ Jim Mogine

 

I WANNA BE MARRIED

I wanna be married I wanna be single too
I wanna be married I wanna be single too
Don’t wanna say I don’t boy but I don’t wanna say I do
I wanna be married I wanna be single too

I could be your only one and always stay around
But I’d sure hate to disappoint those pretty boys downtown
If I let you wrap me up I might just come unwound
I could be your only one but I’d hate to let you down

I wanna be married I wanna be single too
I wanna be married I wanna be single too
Don’t wanna say I don’t boy but I don’t wanna say I do
I wanna be married I wanna be single too

Some girls like going steady some girls like to swing
Me I’d rather have it all so give me everything

I wanna love you baby but I wannna love another too
Just can’t make my mind up what I wanna do
Just a little problem that I’m going through
I wanna love you baby but I wanna love another too.

I wanna be married I wanna be single too
I wanna be married I wanna be single too
Don’t wanna say I don’t boy but I don’t wanna say I do
I wanna be married I wanna be single too

Al Anderson/ Paul Kennerley

 

REAL PEOPLE

Lyrics coming soon.

 

GOODBYE HOUSE

Goodbye house it’s time to leave you
And I’m sure feeling low
I know you’re only pine and stone
But the time has come so goodbye home

Goodbye house I’m gonna miss you
Memories overflow
It’s like you just took on a life of your own
Never thought I’d say oh goodbye home

Your walls have sheltered us over the years
As we’ve lived and died and laughed and shed tears
Every corner a treasure of stories to tell
Of the lives that unfolded inside number 12

Goodbye house though it’s hard to
I’m letting go oh goodbye home

Your walls have sheltered us over the years
As we’ve lived and died and laughed and shed tears
Every corner a treasure of stories to tell
Of the lives that unfolded inside number 12

Goodbye house goodbye home
You won’t be lonely long
Soon a brand new family will call you their own
But our time is done so goodbye home

Soon a brand new family will call you their own
Don’t worry bout me oh goodbye home

Melinda Schneider/ Elizabeth Cook

 

THE L WORD

Lyrics coming soon.

 

WHAT WAS I THINKING

The you I fell in love with is gone
Why does it take forever to be strong
And finally end a love that feels so wrong
What was I thinking
I gave you all the love I ever could
Hoping there may come a day you would 
Give me back the love I gave as good
What was I thinking
What was I thinking
Was I thinking that my heart wouldn’t break
Now I think about it
I just wasn’t thinking straight
First I was falling
Ended up sinking
What was I thinking
What was I thinking
It’ll take some time to find my way
But I will live to love another day
And look back on what we had and say
What was I thinking
What was I thinking
Was I thinking that my heart wouldn’t break
Now I think about it
I just wasn’t thinking straight
First I was falling
Ended up sinking
What was I thinking
What was I thinking

 

SPAGHETTI IS READY

Sex is overrated but it sure feels good
Way overrated but it does feel good
Just look at all the babies in the neighbourhood
Yeah sex is overrated but it sure feels good
No such thing as having too many shoes
Not possible to have too many shoes
Boys will tell you different but they’re lying to you
There ain’t no such thing as having too many shoes
Now there’s one sure way to win the heart of a man
Sit him up beggin’, eating out of your hand
Feed him roast potatoes and a leg of lamb
That’s one sure way to win the heart of a man
Ay ee he he he would I lie to you
Ay ee it’s the kitchen table gospel truth what your mama shoulda told you but she never had the heart to 
The spaghetti is ready when it sticks to the wall
Always ready if it sticks to the wall
He’ll say he’s gonna but he won’t call
But the spaghetti is ready when it sticks to the wall
Sex is overrated but it sure feels good
Way overrated but it does feel good
See grandad chasing granny round the neighbourhood
Sex is overrated but it sure feels good.

 

THE STORY OF MY LIFE

I was born in 71
Policeman dad and a yodelling mum
Got no brother sister ties
I'm an only child
Nana sang to me on the swing
Made me laugh with her tickling
Took the stage at the age of 3
It was mum and me

I remember when I would fall asleep
Under mums fur coat back stage
How the sound of her voice would comfort me
And I guess that nothings changed
So here I am before you now still trying to get it right
That's the story that's the story of my life

17 I was fashion queen
It was great lycra tights were in
I would sew for half the night
Just to look right
Met a man he was everything
Broke my heart
I was 20 then
Had to learn how to be strong
How to move on

I remember when I cried all night
When my dog Rhoda died
And at 15 when I lost my Nan
She said God was by her side
So here I am before you now
Still trying to get it right
That's the story that's the story of my life

I remember the way he looked at me
When I walked on down the aisle
And how I cried those happy tears
When I became his wife
And yet here I am before you now
Still trying to get it right
That's the story that's the story of my life

I was born in 71
Policeman dad and a yodelling mum
I am proud of where I'm from
And who I've become

 

DAMN LOVE

Jotting some thoughts on a blank piece of paper
Trying to work out what it is about you
That makes me feel like a jigsaw puzzle
One that's missing a piece or two

Chewing on the end of an HB pencil
Telling myself one and one is three
Nothing makes sense when I think about you
It's like the full moon is following me

Damn Love Damn Love
That little four letter word L.O.V.E.
Is wreaking havoc big time on my sanity
Damn Love Damn Love

Writing your name down in capital letters
Seeing what it looks like next to mine
Filling in the page with hearts and flowers
Too far gone to reach the bottom line

I've always been such a practical girl
This is so unlike me
To be a butterfly at the mercy of the wind
I hate it I love it It's driving me crazy

Shakespeare wrote about a million sonnets
No wonder the poor man lost his hair
When it comes to you there's no rhyme or reason
I might as well throw my hands in the air

 

LIVING IT DOWN

He got home about breakfast time
Saw me cooking heard the baby crying
He tried sneaking into our bedroom
I came running with a swinging broom
He lived it up all over town
And now he's living it down

He's living it down at his best friend's house
Down on his best friend's couch
Down on his bended knees
He's begging honey won't you forgive me
He lived it up all over town
And now he's living it down

So now he's living out of his suitcase
In a corner of his buddies place
I don't think that he can take this long
All he wants to do is come back home
He lived it up all over town
And now he's living it down

He's living it down at his best friend's house
Down on his best friend's couch
Down on his bended knees
Begging honey won't you forgive me
He lived it up all over town
And now he's living it down

 

HE STILL CALLS HER ANGEL

Married for 50 years Made it through a million tears
He still calls her angel
Had 2 kids then 2 more
And like he always did before
He still calls her angel

All the worries of the world would disappear
When he whispered that sweet word in her ear

She'd get mad for things he'd done
Call him every name under the sun
He still calls her angel

All the worries of the world would disappear
When he whispered that sweet word in her ear

They're getting on who knows when
They're time will come but until then
He still calls her angel
She'll always be his angel

 

SUPERWOMAN

Back through the pages of history
She's been the backbone of the family
Loyal strong tender and wise It should come as no surprise
She can heal a man's hurt with amazing grace
Put a smile back on a baby's face
She's a fulltime lifetime dedicated mum
Family is number one

Superwoman
3 kids a husband and the washing on the line
Superwoman
Bet she'll even make it to work on time
She's a mystery a rare commodity
Boy's you'd better tip your hat To superwoman
There's no denying it a fact's a fact
She's a superwoman and that's that

Call it intuition call it double dutch
Nothing comes close to a woman's touch
She radiates beauty inside and out
Dressed up to the nines she's a real knockout
You know she's a qualified taxi driver teacher chef and nurse
And with all the things that are sent to try her she'll tackle them head first

We are all one
Hero's unsung
Superwoman

 

CAN YOU HEAR ME DOWN THE HILLSIDE

Can you hear me down the hillside
From the top of this tall tree
I never get to feeling lonesome
All my friends are here with me
All the birdies in the branches like to watch me as I swing
Then I climb up there beside em and we all begin to sing
Yodel…..

Well here's little Willy wagtail
He just flew into town
He always seems to find me
Whenever he's around
He promises that someday he will teach me how to fly
Though he tells me in the meantime I should just be satisfied with
Yodel…..

Well hello there Mr sunshine
Watching over land and sea
I think that it's about time
You harmonise with me
All the birdies in the branches like to watch me as I swing
Then I climb up there beside em and we all begin to sing
Yodel……

 

WHEN THE LAST CHILD LEAVES HOME

With the birth of their daughter the family begins
They tried for another then came the twins
From toothaches to heartbreaks
And fights for the phone
A house feels so empty
When the last child leaves home

When the last child leaves home
There's the rest of forever
To cherish the memories
That they made together
They're part of each other
So they're not alone
But a house feels so empty
When the last child leaves home

Now there's more peace and quiet than they've ever had
But it's so damn quiet it's driving them mad
So they're trading the old place
For a beach they can comb
Cause a house feels so empty
When the last child leaves home

 

GODS TIME

I used to live in a hurry
Addicted to worry
Thinking my destiny was in my hands
No matter how hard I tried I was never satisfied
With my lot in life
Now I got a new plan

I'm gonna live from day to day
Stop worrying and wishing my life away
Nothing wrong with holding on to these dreams of mine
It'll happen in God's time
All in God's time

How happy will I be
No more trying to find me
Gonna be such a sweet relief to be closing that door
If I kindle that fire inside
But not let it burn too bright
Then I'll be cooking when the timing's right and not a second before

It's not like I've gotta win some race
Force every piece of the puzzle into place
But I can keep holding on to these dreams of mine
It'll happen in God's time
All in God's time
It'll happen in God's time
All in God's time

 

SMALL STUFF

Life's too short to sweat the small stuff
After all it's all just small stuff
We've only got one life to live
Let's live it all night long It's a waste of time sitting crying
'Bout things you can't control
No need to sweat it just forget it
Come on baby come on

When it's all said and done
It's all about having fun
Don't waste time looking over your shoulder
Before you know it it's all over

Go to work go to bed
Get up and start it all over again
Now there's a reason we're on this earth
And I'm gonna get my money's worth

There's no reason to get too excited when it starts hitting the fan
Why do little things and big worries have to go hand in hand

 

I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE

He met her on a mountain on a trek thru Nepal
She was pretty and fearless and up for it all
He was hopelessly smitten, with her fire and her charms
On a high on those mountains and again in her arms

Back on terra firma the real world again
She still drove him crazy still made his head spin
So he popped the question and they set the date
And the first thing he said after cutting the cake was

I love you you're perfect now change
Just hold still a minute while I rearrange
Everything that you are to become more like moi
I love you you're perfect now change

On their honeymoon morning they had their first spat
She put on her bikini he said "you're not wearing that"
So she put on a one piece and swallowed her pride
And told herself love was about compromise

He expected his dinner at 6 on the dot
On a tray on the sofa his favourite spot
She asked him "how'd you enjoy your ravioli"
He said "call mum and ask her for her recipe"

Oh I love you you're perfect now change
Just hold still a minute while I rearrange you
To help you become more like my mum I love you you're perfect now change
He had time to ponder his sorry ways
As he scraped ravioli from his hair and face
She fished the car keys from out of her purse
And said " call me when you've memorised this next verse"

I love you who's perfect don't change
No there isn't one thing that I'd re-arrange
Bout the one that I fell for
How could I want more
I love you who's perfect don't change

 

SHE'S STILL GOT IT

He don't look at her these days
The way that he used to
I bet he couldn't tell you If her eyes are green or blue
He takes it all for granted 'Cause he's seen it all before
She's still got it
He just don't get it anymore

She's still got it
From her head down to her feet
She's still got it
Any other man can see
She's still got it
How did he ever get bored
She's still got it

She still turns every head
Anywhere she goes
She's funny smart and beautiful
And everybody knows
She's everything a man could want
Except that fool next door
She's still got it
He just don't get it anymore

 

NO MORE TEARS TO CRY

There is a blessing zone
Where the seeds of love are sewn
Angels singing hallelujah up on high
Going to that sacred place
To see the light of Jesus' face
Where there'll be no more tears to cry

Some frightened folks I know
Are mighty scared of letting go
Holding on to life on earth afraid to die
But way up in heaven there's no fear
And when I'm finally out of here
Well there'll be no more tears to cry

No more tears to cry
I'll kiss the world goodbye
I'll take my final breath and I'll be gone
To my home up in the sky
I will spread my wings and fly
And there'll be no more tears to cry

So point me toward those pearly gates
Where that peaceful valley waits
Down beside the rock of ages where I'll lie
Then I'll walk that holy mile
With a smile apon my dial
And there'll be no more tears to cry

 

WEARING WHITE

I've never seen you look so beautiful
Girl you're making me cry
You walk toward me on your daddy's arm
And I see a tear in your eye
With these words till death do us part
I will love you with all of my heart

And hold you forever with a love so strong
For better or worse from this day on
I've had a dream since I met you every night
And you've been in my dream wearing white

I made a wish after our first kiss
That one day we'd say I do
Somehow I knew that we'd end up like this
Today my wish came true
With this ring I make you my wife
I will love you for the rest of my life

Chorus

With these words til death do us part

And hold you forever with a love so strong
For better or worse from this day on
I've had a dream since I met you every night
And you've been in my dream wearing white

 

TV OR ME

Baby get up off that sofa
Well at least move over
I wanna get a little bit closer to you
How do you think I feel
You're in love with Alley Mcbeal
And I'm not gonna share you anymore
'Cause there's something's stealing your attention
And now it's time for intervention
Baby it's the TV or me oooh
I'm fed up I've had enough
Gonna padlock that idiot box
Tell me whats it gonna be
Baby it's the TV or me
Oh no not the footy show
Funniest home video's
We should be making memories of our own
But you'd rather have your football
Than spend a day with me all
Wrapped up in love in each other's arms
And you're always on remote control
And this habits really getting old
Don't you think it's time
We turned down the sound
And turn your heart up loud
Baby can you here me
I need to have you near me
Baby it's the TV or me

 

LOOK ME UP

One of these days she's gonna go too far
Push you right over the edge
Leave you sitting solo on a Saturday night
Wondering where she went
Ooh Ooh Ooh I've been rubbing my hands
Waiting on my lucky break
Knowing in my heart it's just a matter of time
Before she makes her last mistake
She'll leave you crying, but that's ok
I'll be ready whenever you say
Look me up when she lets you down
Like a bumble bee buzzing around
In your arms faster than the speed of sound
Look me up I'll be over when she lets you down
I pity any fool who tries to get in my way
When my turn comes around
Ninety miles an hour through the rat race
Nothing gonna slow me down
One track minded that's what I am
You'll find my number under "I'm your woman"
You know that you should be with me
How long you gonna let her run around, run around
Look me up, I'll be over when she lets you down
I've been longing to be your darlin'

 

SIMPLE TO SAY

Never thought I'd be at a loss for words
I'm quick when it comes to being clever
I rack my mind trying to find something new to say
But it never came together
I was reaching too high Had my head in the clouds
Till the words in my heart finally hit my mouth
I love you
That's all I know to say about the way I'm feeling baby
I love you
Now it may sound simple and a little bit overused
But with you it's simple to say simple to do
Well love ain't such a mystery
When it's meant to be automatically you know it
And some people jump the gun dive in from day one
Take the plunge and blow it
Oh but that wont happen to you and I
You can count on that and I'll tell you why
I pulled every book down off the shelf
Looking for the words to express myself
All along they were here written on your kiss
And it comes right down to this

Brandt/Terry (Rondor)

 

FROM THE INSIDE OUT

First time he laid eyes on her
He kissed his heart goodbye
He nearly drove right off the road
When all she did was smile
But when she burned up their first dinner
And lay crying on the couch
That's the moment that he fell in love
From the inside out
She loved the way he always brought
Flowers to her door
And took her to new places that
She'd never been before
But when he lost his job and he lost his pride
And his heart was filled with doubt
That's when she new how much she loved that man
From the inside out
From the inside love is stronger
Than the outside looking in
As the tears flow you learn what love's about
From the inside out
She has watched her raven hair
Slowly turn to gray
And since the day that he retired
He just gets in the way
Now their not much to look at
Two old faces in the crowd
But they could write the book of love
From the inside out
From the inside love is stronger
Than the outside looking in
As the years go you learn what loves about
From the inside out

Kasset/Beeson (Ten Ten)

 

COUNT TO 3

I've been watching you
Caught you watching me yeah
One thing left to do
What's it gonna be yeah
Hey you count to 3
Won't you come along with me

Don't be shy I'll show you round
Hey there don't you know
Somewhere else that we can go
You and me Is it in your eyes
Tell me dreams can fly yeah
When I look at you I see blu
er skies yeah
Hey ay do do do
Hey ay do do do

 

3 RINGS

Engagement ring wedding ring
then comes the suffering
That unexpected factor in the happy ever after
Love affair perfect pair to t-shirts and underwear
You cut the cake and made your wishes
Now you're doing all the dishes
You were one smart Cinderella
Had the whole thing figured out
You were too in love to listen
When your mama tried to warn you 'bout
The engagement ring wedding ring
and a little bit of suffering
You stood there at the wedding
But you never saw it heading
For a two room flat an aching back
And a stack of bills overdue
Now you're sweating in the kitchen

 

MY OXYGEN

I take each breath as if it is my first
I hold it there deep inside me
Until I'm 'bout to burst
I speak each word as if it is your name
I move my lips and taste the moment
Still it sounds the same
Your hand moves and so does mine
Our hearts beat
Our bodies keep in time
You are my oxygen
I breathe you in
I breathe you out
You are my oxygen
You are my love you are what life's about
I take each breath as if it is my last
You never know what came so slowly
Could leave us oh so fast
I take each step as if it is to you oh
I hear your voice I feel your presence
In everything I do
My body sleeps your lips revive
Our eyes meet and I know I'm alive
The air is thick the flowers sweet
The shadows come down
Tonight the moon is at my feet
And I breathe you in I breathe you in to me
And I'm nobody without you
If you were not here what would I do

 

LIFE'S TOO LONG TO LIVE LIKE THIS

Drive time traffic in the pouring rain
Six car pile up in the passing lane
Can't help thinking while I shake my fist
Life's too long to live like this
Mail box filling up with bills to pay
Boss man hanging on my back all day
Gonna work me to the bone I guess
Life's too long to live like this
Come here baby give your girl a hug
All we got that they can't take is love
Let her roll we ain't got much to lose
But these stay good stay home
we're too alone blues
Ain't no future in this tv guide
Ain't no reason we should stay inside
Someone's having all the fun we miss
Life's too long to live like this
Yeah life's too long Yeah life's too long
Come here baby give your girl a kiss
Life's too long to live like this

 

RAPUNZEL

Living in a castle of broken dreams
All alone there was only me
I was thinking I was sinking fast
You came to rescue me at last
Just like Rapunzel I will let down my hair
And you will swear never to part
Just like Rapunzel I will let down my hair and
You'll be there
You'll be there
You'll be there
I was under a witches spell
Sending me to a private hell
You said a prayer that my soul would keep
You woke me up from the deepest sleep
If I saw you in a mirror up upon my wall
You would be the fairest of them all
If I met you in the moonlight
Glass slippers on my feet
You'd dance with me
You'd dance with me

 

GIVE US A HAPPY HOME

He's been wounded already in the struggle of life
Battered by a raging storm of strife
Caught in a whirl wind of heartbreak and pain
And blinded by it's driving rain
The innocent victim of crimes of the heart
He's witnessed his young world being torn apart
He can't understand why mum and dad
Have forsaken the family they had
So he whispers his prayer every evening
As he kneels by his bedside alone
Put mummy and daddy together again
And give us a happy home
Please give us a happy home
At night he could hear them in their room down the hall
The anger rang clearly through his bedroom wall
He silently listened tucked snug in his bed
To each bitter word they said
Now he and mum each have a room of their own
He see's dad on weekends and they talk on the phone
His questions need answers but all they will say
Is you'll understand why someday
Oh he tries to act just like he's a man
And hold all the hurt inside
But it's hard for a little boy to understand
Grown up reasons for goodbye

 

SMACK DAB

The Prime Minister called said "I need your help,
The sky is falling and the earth is gonna melt"
I said "It sounds like you're in pretty bad shape,
I'll be there tomorrow if it ain't too late"
'Cause I'm Smack dab in the middle of love
Up to my ears in kisses and hugs

I'm busy with my baby yeah covered up
Smack dab in the middle of love
Smack dab smack dab smack dab
Smack dab in the middle of love
A flying saucer landed at my house
A little green man came walking out
He looked at me and said "you're coming with us"
I said "I hope you boys ain't in no rush"

Got all six numbers in the lottery
Forty seven million all won by me
When they called me up to claim my dough
I said "I can't come now
'cause don't you know I'm"

 

SOME GIRLS

Some girls will some girls wont
Some girls need a lot of loving
and some girls don't
I know I got the fever but I don't know why
Some say they will and some girls lie

So here I am in front of you
Not really knowing what to do
My heart is feeling something new
Nervously I turn away from you
I see those looks you're sending me
Is this the way it's meant to be
There's nothing left to talk about
Oh how I wish we'd work it out

I find your company to be
Something completely new to me
Now that I know you socially
Obviously I'll fall heavily
I see those looks your sending me
Is this the way it's meant to be
There's nothing left to talk about
Oh how I wish we'd work it out

 

HEART OF A WOMAN

If you find love in the heart of a woman
Love her and please her
Don't mistreat her
Don't let her go
'Cause when you find love
In the heart of a woman
It is worth more than all the worlds gold
And if she's feeling blue
Tell her baby I love you
Her sweet smile will chase away the rain
And if she's feeling sad
Say baby,don't feel bad
It will be all right
Let me hold you tight
'Cause when you find love
In the heart of a woman
Love her and please her
Don't mistreat her
Don't let her go

 

WATCHING OVER ME

When I think of you
I think of all my dreams
I can't believe this dream
Didn't come true
I wonder where you are
I look up at the stars
And try to see as far
As wherever you are
But I know you're watching
I know you're watching
I know you're watching over me
Baby I know you're watching
I know you're watching
I know you're watching over me
Every day I tell myself that this is real
People don't know how it feels
I'm empty without you
There is always a reason
Girl it was meant to be
They like to think they know how I feel
But they don't know
No they don't know

 

LOVE'S OUT TO GET ME

Love sweet love comes along
Like the first light of morning till the break of dawn
Take my hand darling hold me near
And dance me on the fine line between hope and fear
Loves out to get me
loves out to get me
I can't believe my heart is gonna let me fall again
Loves out to get me
loves out to get me
And I'm running
I'm running
I'm running
I'm running
I'm running as slowly as I can
It's a game of chance a twist of fate
Every time I fell in love it was a fools mistake
That was then baby what can save me now
The moment that we kissed
all the walls came tumbling down

 

LOVE AWAY THE NIGHT

You're always in the fridge or on the phone
How the hell would you know, you're never home
I go to work to keep this family fed
Good try pal, you won't even get out of bed

I can't believe you spent that much on shoes
Look, I got 'em on sale and you'll never know the money I save you
I s'pose you bought a bag, a dress, and a hat
Well you've got your race car, wanna talk about that

You look so darn cute when you get mad
Melt away my troubled heart and you don't seem so bad
When I see that twinkle in your eye
Take the phone off the hook and put the kids to bed
Forget what we said and Love away the night.

You're always on the couch watching football
Bring me a beer and keep it down will ya,I don't wanna miss the score
Just like you missed our anniversary
Well I'm sorry babe, you should've reminded me.

You drive me insane
Babe don't ever change
I like you that way
