Cowboys and kisses
Cowboys and kisses
Gotta find myself everytime you go away

Baggy blue jeans and a box of magazines
Is all I have of you
Waitin' on the day you walk back in my life
Like a newborn child, you made me smile
Then stole my heart away
We may be outta touch, but never out of time
(Come back to me boy)
Come back to me boy

(Cowboys and kisses)
Always seem to bring me down
You're like a weight in my pocket
Everytime you come around
Damn those cowboys and kkisses
Gotta find myself everytime you go away

Holdin on to you like a pair of old shoes
That you never throw away
Every road still leads back to you, yeah
Your little white lies and butterflies made me shed a tear
Still I'm prayin on the day that you'll be mine (mine)
Why do all these

(Cowboys and kisses)
(Always bring me down)
You're like a weight in my pocket
Everytime you come around
Damn those cowboys and kisses
Gotta find myself everytime you go away
Yeah

Why do I keep holding you
When all you do is hurt me?
All my friends say I should let you go
So afraid that I might see
I can't keep on living life like this
Up and down in and out
I wonder, is this world just a cowboy and a kiss?
Or should I choose another?

(Cowboys and kisses)
Always seem to bring me down
You're like a weight in my pocket
Everytime you come around
Damn those cowboys and kisses
I said I gotta find myself everytime you go away
Everytime
Everytime you go away

(Cowboys and kisses)
Always seem to bring me down
You're like a weight in my pocket
Everytime you come around
Damn those cowboys and kisses
Gotta find my self everytime you go away
I said I said I said I said
Gotta find myself everytime you go away
Gotta find myself everytime you go away
Yeah
(Cowboys and kisses)
Yeah yeah yeah

I suppose, for a man like you
To be the love of my life
That's a lot to ask
But somehow, I feel thr right
So here I am, hey babe, with the tables turned
The feear of getting burned, your hand's been cold
I want everything

Or nothing at all, at all
Every, every, everything
Now what am I to do?
You made me fall for you
I want everything
Or nothing at all

I may be wrong, I've been wrong before
But I won't be a fool
Not for you this time
There's some things I'm not going through
So here I stand, hey babe, with a lot to lose
But I wanna see the truth
Through your walls
I want everything

Or nothing at all, at all
Every, every, everything
Now what am I to do?
You made me fall for you
I want everything
Or nothing at all

You told me you love me, you told me you need me
I hear all the words that you say, what you need to do
I'm tired to feeling there's nothing more to believe in
I won't wait for you to break my heart

So here I am, hey baby, with the tables turned
And the fear of getting burned
Your hand's been cold

I want everything
Or nothing at all, at all
I want everything
I want everything
Now what am I to do?
You made me fall for you
I want everything
Or nothing at all, at all

I want everything, I want everything
Now what am I to do?

You're my everything

Everything
Everything

(Oh, oh, oh)
There is no rose without a thorn
No rain without a storm
(Oh, oh, oh)
There is no laughter without tears
(Oh, oh, oh)
In a world gone crazy
Torn between the roads
That we must choose
Win or lose
If every sould should lose it's way
If every face should lose it's name
Tell me who's gonna stop the rain?

(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)

Each day another boy or girl
Sets foot into this world
(Oh, oh, oh)
One reaches out to touch the sky
One never learns to fly
(Oh, oh, oh)
Where is it written in the stone
That any child should walk alone
Out on their own?
If no one tries to end this game
Tell me who's gonna stop the rain?
(Oh, oh, oh)
Who's gonna stop
The rain?
I said who's gonna stop the rain?
Hey, hey, yeah

How many rivers must we crosse before we learn
That the flood is rising high
And the bridges all have burned
Each time another dream is washed into the sea
It's another piece of you
It's another piece of
Me
Oh yeah
(Oh, oh, oh)

Sure as the blood runs through your veins
Sure as the falling rain, oh yeah
(Oh, oh, oh)
We'll taste the tears of each defeat
The bitter and the sweet, yeah, oh yeah
(Oh, oh, oh)
As the days grow colder
Wonder if we'll ever see the sun
When winter comes, yeah
If no one stands to take the weight
If no one answers to the blame
Tell me who's gonna stop the rain?

(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)

Who's gonna stop the rain?
If every sould should lose it's way
If every face should lose it's name
If no one tries to end this game
Or find a way to ease the pain
Who's gonna stop the rain?
(Oh, oh, oh)
If no one stands to take the weight
If no one answers to the blame
Who's gonna stop
The rain?
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
Who's gonna stop the?

To find a way to free your mind, yeah

That makes my heart forget to beat, yeah yeah

Locked up in a mystery

Whooo
Your love is like a gentle breeze upon a brand-new day
Your touch and what it does to me - like a flower needs its rain
We are like one of a kind, true love is hard to find
I can't go on another day
Just hear me when I say

I ask of you, would you love me, if nothing else went right?
And I ask of you, would you hold me, forever in your life?
And don't let me fall, 'cause I can only give my all
Here I am
I ask of you

I found the place where I belong, it's right here next to you
And nothing else matters now, with all we've been through
I can't go on, tryin' to deny just what I feel inside
But now before I let go, you gotta let me know

I ask of you, would you love me, if nothing else went right?
I ask of you, would you hold me, forever in your life?
Don't let me fall, 'cause I can only give my all

And don't let me fall, 'cause I can only give my all

Everybody shines in the wishing well

Everybody's free in the wishing well

Why do you try to hide
Behind the truth that your heart denies?
The answer lies so deep inside

Has the highest hills to climb

Aha

Tell you a story of a love I left behind
It was a broken fairy tale
I gave up all my pride
Let love inside
But tore me all apart when you played with my heart

Let me paint a picture of a cold and rainy night
As the candles fade to black
I played our favourite song
'Til the needle was gone
I've taken all I can
You've played your last hand

Black roses and a bottle of wine
Those were the only things that I left behind
Keep searching 'cause it's so hard to find
All you got are tears that you cry
Black roses and wine

Oh yeah

Sorry situation when your' castles made of sand
And it washes out to sea
I pushed your love aside
Cried my last cry
My sould is in bloom
Like flowers in June

Black roses and a bottle of wine
Those were the only things that I left behind
Keep searching 'cause it's so hard to find
All you got are tears that you cry
Black roses and wine

Black roses and a bottle of wine
Those were the only things that I left behind
Keep searching 'cause it's so hard to find
All you got are tears that you cry
Black roses and wine

You don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry
You don't miss your good thing, 'til it passes you by
Like a bird in the sky, spread your wings and fly

Oh yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

Black roses and a bottle of wine
Those were the only things that I left behind
C'mon keep searching 'cause it's so hard to find
All you got are tears that you cry
Black roses and wine

Whoa
Heya

All tis time this life
Is a rhythm without a rhyme
'Cause it makes me feel, uh
I'm like a train without a wheel, whoa

You got me down, so low
I gotta be tough, won't touch the ground, ah
But - I'm alright
I won't give up without a fight

If you don't want to realise
That I would never compromise my
Integrity or my right to be free
There's nothing left for me to say

'Cause
Yo trippin'
There ain't nothing wrong
With the way I sing my song

Yo trippin'
Why you make me feel
Like my feelings ain't so real

Yo trippin'
There ain't nothing wrong
With the way I sing my song

Hey, whoa
Yo trippin'

Why you feel (why you feel, why you feel)
That to be cruel
Is to be real, yeah

Honesty (honesty, yeah, honesty)
Is how I live
But you refuse to see that

You'll never win the game of life
Ask why
You live in sin
From telling all those lies
Can't live in peace
Your heart won't let me free
There's nothing left for me to say, yeah

Yo trippin'
There ain't nothing wrong
With the way I sing my song

Yo trippin'
Why you make me feel
Like my feelings ain't so real

Yo trippin'
There ain't nothing wrong
With the way I sing my song

Whoa
Yo trippin'

Yeha
Why you always trippin' on me?

Yo trippin'
There ain't nothing wrong
With the way I sing my song

Yo trippin'
Why you make me feel
Like my feelings ain't so real

Yo trippin'
There ain't nothing wrong
With the way I sing my song

Baby why you always
Trippin baby

Yo trippin'
There ain't nothing wrong
With the way I sing my song

Yo trippin'
Why you make me feel
Like my feelings ain't so real

Yo trippin'
There ain't nothing wrong
With the way I sing my song

Whoa
Yo trippin'

Can we talk a while?
'Cause I need you
Lord, I miss your smile
Said, I need you
I know I'm not the same, ya see
If we could only be, the way it was
Then I'd never let you go

Just one more chance
I know I was wrong
Don't give up so easily
Don't you know it's killing me?
Just one more chance, to sing this song
I'll never let you down, no
Just one more chance

I know that I hurt you
Don't you realise?
Confused, thought we were through
Can I tell you that I, I never felt like this?
This pain, I can't ignore
I want you back, and I'll never let you go

Just one more chance
I know I was wrong
Don't give up so easily
Don't you know it's killing me?
Just one more chance, to sing this song

Or the way it's gonna be
Just give me half a chance to make your heart believe
'Cause I know just how you feel
I can see it in your eyes
There's nothing in this world
That can tear this love apart

Just one more chance
I know I was wrong
Don't give up so easily

You baptize my soul
Want the world to know
Yes you do
You baptize my soul
Gotta let it show
Take me to the river and deliver me
Oooooh ooh

I just wanna celebrate another day with you
We were meant to be together, don't you know it's true?
From the very start, you captured my heart
Sometimes I wonder what I did before we came along
Until you came around and sang me such a pretty song
Like a butterfly, opened up and changed my life
Giving in to you is something that I can't deny
Oooooh

You (you) baptize my soul
I want the world to know
You manifest the 'D' in destiny
(Yes you do)
I said you (you) baptize my soul
Gotta let it show
Take me to the river and deliver me
Just take this empty heart, make it whole
You baptize my soul

Just the sound of your voice brings out the romance in me
The slightest touch of your hand plays me like a symphony
Love'll take us far, like a shooting star
We don't pay no mind to all the things that people say
The only thing that matters is the love we've got today
It's a miracle, we're invinsible
I just wanna spend my whole life living in your world
Oooooh

You (you) baptize my soul
I want the world to know
You manifest the 'D' in destiny
(Yes you do)
I said you (you) baptize my soul
Gotta let it show
Take me to the river and deliver me
Take this empty heart, make it whole
You baptize my soul

You (you) baptize my soul
I want the world to know
You manifest the 'D' in destiny
(Yes you do)
I said you (you) baptize my soul
Gotta let it show
Take me to the river and deliver me
And take this empty heart, make it whole
You baptize my soul

I don't care what people say
What we got is here to stay
Doesn't matter what we do
As long as I am here with you
If you wonder what I mean
It's more simple than it seems
Together we were meant to be
Forever it is you and me

Like a butterfly
Opened up my life
Giving in to you is something
That I can't deny

You (you) baptize my soul
I want the world to know
You manifest the 'D' in destiny
(Yes you do)
I said you (you) baptize my soul
Gotta let it show
Take me to the river and deliver me
And take this empty heart, make it whole
You baptize my soul

You baptize my soul
