Hootie & The Blowfish Album

With a little love, and some tenderness 
We'll walk upon the water 
We'll rise above this mess 
With a little peace, and some harmony 
We'll take the world together 
We'll take 'em by the hand 
'Cause I've got a hand for you 
'Cause I wanna run with you 
Yesterday, I saw you standing there 
Your head was down, your eyes were red 
No comb had touched your hair 
I said get up, and let me see you smile 
We'll take a walk together 
Walk the road awhile, 'cause 
'Cause I've got a hand for you 
I've got a hand for you 
'Cause I wanna run with you 
Won't you let me run with you? yeah 
Hold my hand 
Want you to hold my hand 
Hold my hand 
I'll take you to a place where you can be 
Hold my hand 
Anything you wanna be because 
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can 
See I was wasted, and I was wasting time 
'Till I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes 
Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud 
I don't wanna be part of your problems 
Don't wanna be part of your crowd, no 
'Cause I've got a hand for you 
I've got a hand for you 
'Cause I wanna run with you 
Ah, won't you let me run with you? 
Hold my hand 
Want you to hold my hand 
Hold my hand 
I'll take you to the promised land 
Hold my hand 
Maybe we can't change the world but 
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can, yeah 
Hold my hand 
Want you to hold my hand 
Hold my hand 
I'll take you to a place where you can be 
Hold my hand 
Anything you wanna be because 
I...Oh...No, No, No, No, No 
Hold my hand 
Want you to hold my hand 
Hold my hand 
I'll take you to the promised land 
Hold my hand 
Maybe we can't change the world but 
I wanna love you the best that, best that I can 

You and me 
We come from different worlds 
You like to laugh at me 
When I look at other girls 
Sometimes you're crazy 
And you wonder why 
I'm such a baby 
Cause the Dolphins make me cry 
Chorus: 
Well there's nothing I can do 
I only wanna be with you 
You can call me your fool 
Only wanna be with you 
Put on a little Dylan 
sitting on a fence 
I say that line is great 
You ask me what I meant by 
"Said I shot a man named Gray 
Took his wife to Italy 
She inherited a million bucks 
And when she died it came to me 
I can't help it if I'm lucky" 
Only wanna be with you 
Ain't Bobby so cool 
Only wanna be with you 
(Solo) 
Yeah I'm tangled up in blue 
Only wanna be with you 
You can call me your fool 
Only wanna be with you 
Sometimes I wonder 
If it will ever end 
You get so mad at me 
When I go out with my friends 
Sometimes you're crazy 
And you wonder why 
I'm such a baby yeah 
The Dolphins make me cry 
Well there's nothing I can do 
Only wanna be with you 
You can call me your fool 
Only wanna be with you 
Yeah I'm tangled up in blue 

Time, why you punish me? 
Like a wave bashing into the shore 
You wash away my dreams. 
Time, why you walk away? 
Like a friend with somewhere to go 
You left me crying 
Can you teach me about tommorrow 
And all the pain and sorrow 
Running free? 
Cause tomorrow's just another day 
And I don't believe in time 
Time, I don't understand 
Children killing in the street 
Dying for the color of red 
Time, hey there red and blue 
Wash them in the ocean, make them clean, 
Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight 
Can you teach me about tomorrow 
All the pain and sorrow 
Running free? 
But tomorrow's just another day 
And I don't believe in... 
chorus: 
Time is wasting 
Time is walking 
You ain't no friend of mine 
I don't know where i'm goin' 
I think I'm out of my mind 
Thinking about time 
And if I die tomorrow, yeah 
Just lay me down in sleep 
(chorus) 
Time, you left me standing there 
Like a tree growing all alone 
The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare 
Time, the past has come and gone 
The future's far away 
Now only lasts for one second, one second 
Can you teach me about tomorrow 
And all the pain and sorrow 
Running free? 
'Cause tomorrow's just another day 
And I don't believe in time 
(chorus) 

She sits alone by a lamppost 
trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind 
She says Dad's the one I love the most 
but Stipe's not far behind 
She lets me in 
only tell me where's she's been 
when she's had too much to drink 
I say that I don't care I just run my hands 
through her dark hair and I pray to God 
you gotta help me fly away 
And just¡­ 
Let her cry¡­if the tears fall down like rain 
Let her sing¡­if it eases all her pain 
Let her go¡­let her walk right out on me 
And if the sun comes up tomorrow 
Let her be¡­let her be. 
This morning I woke up alone 
found a note by the phone 
saying maybe I'll be back some day 
I wanted to look for you 
You walked in I didn't know just what to do 
so I sat back down had a beer and felt sorry for myself. 
-Chorus- 
-Solo- 
-Chorus- 
Last nite I tried to leave 
She cried so much I just 
could not believe 
she was the same girl I 
fell in love with long ago 
She went in the back to 
get high 
I sat down on my couch 
and cried 
yelling oh mama please 
help me 
won't you hold my hand. 
-Chorus- 

Alone as I sit and watch the trees 
Won't you tell me if I scream will they bend down and listen to me 
And it makes me wonder if I know the words will you come 
Or will you laugh at me 
Or will I run 
Little boy says to me, 
"Where you goin' now son" 
I said, "I don't know where I'm goin' boy 
I only know where I'm from" 
And it makes me wonder 
If the stars shine when my eyes close 
Or does my brothers heart cry 
I don't know 
I'm a stranger in my home 
Now that everybody's gone 
Someone please talk to me 
Cause I feel you cry 
And you're sitting with him 
And I know I'll never see you again 
Lying down in Charleston under the Carolina sky 
You see I'm tired of feeling this pain 
I'm tired of living my own little lie 
And it makes me wonder 
When I see you in my dreams 
Does it mean anything 
Are you trying to talk to me 
I'm a stranger in my home 
Tell me are you feeling alone 
Someone tell me what to do 
'Cause I'm feeling strong 
And I wonder how you feel 
Do you realize my pain is for real 
I see you in my dreams 
And I wonder if you're looking down at me 
And smiling right now 
I wanna know if it's true 
When he looks at me 
Won't you tell me 
Does he realize he came down here 
And he took you too soon 
And now my days are short an my nights are long 
I lay down with memories of you keep that keep me going on, going on 
It makes me wonder as I sit and stare 
Will I see your face again 
Tell me, do you care 
I'm a stranger in my home 
Living life on my own 
Right now I just can't see 
'Cause i'm feeling weak 
And my sould begins to bleed 

Well an old man said to me 
In a voice filled with pain 
Where you going young man 
Said I'm going to fight a war 
Gonna fight for my country 
In some foreign land 
He said "The sun will never hurt you 
Never harmed anyone 
But you must realize" 
If you try to stare her down 
She will win in the end 
She will burn your eyes 
She will burn them 

Seen a million places 
Seen a million faces die 
And I wonder who will walk with me 
When I get to Heaven 

He said "Boy I was young once 
Yeah I was tough 
Sailing on Uncle Sam's boat 
Hey I could kill the enemy 
I could die on foreign streets 
But I could not vote 
But now you walk by me 
You won't talk to me 
Say this is my fate 
But every time you walk the streets boy 
Most of them you meet 
You see it's you they hate 
It's you... 

Seen a million faces 
Seen a million places die 
And I wonder who will walk with me 
When I get to Heaven 
I hope I get there 

Seen a million places 
Seen a million faces die 
And I wonder who will walk with me 
When I get there 

See this woman sitting next to me 
She's been there for a long, long time 
And when I fell, she picked me up 
When I cried, she wiped my tears 
I thank god she's mine 
And when I leave this world 
She won't have anything 
But her love for me 
¡®Cause the man took everything else 
Made me hate myself 
So just let her be boy 
Won't you let her be

(Led Zeppelin)

Wanna tell you 'bout the girl I love 
My she looks so fine 
She's the only one that I been dreamin' of 
Maybe someday she will be all mine 
I wanna tell her that I love her so 
I thrill with her every touch 
I need to tell her she's the only one I really love 

(Chorus) 
I got a woman, wanna ball all day 
I got a woman; she won't be true, no 
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time 
I said I got a little woman and she won't be true 

Sunday morning when we go down to church 
See the menfolk standin' in line 
I said they come to pray to the Lord 
With my little girl, looks so fine 
In the evening when the sun is sinkin ' low 
Everybody's with the one they love 
I walk the town 
Keep a-searchin' all around: 
Lookin' for my street corner girl 

Chorus 

In the bars, with the men who play guitars 
Singin', Drinkin' and rememberin' the times 
My little lover does a midnight shift 
She followed around all the time 
I guess there's just one thing a -left for me to do 
Gonna pack my bags and move on my way 
Cause I got a worried mind 
Sharin' what I thought was mine 
Gonna leave her where the guitars play 

I got a woman, she won't be true, no no 
I got a woman, wanna ball all day 
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time 
I got a little woman and she won't be true 

(Hey, hey what can I do) 

I said she won't be true 

(Hey, hey what can I say) 

Hey, hey, what can I do 
I got a woman she won't be true 
Lord, hear what I say 

Staring back at you 
Did you see my lips 
Or were you smiling right in front of me 

Your father called my name 
Then he smiled with great relief 
¡®Cause it wasn't me that you were clinging to 

He made you turn around 
You do that thing you do 
And then you laughed with me 

I don't know 
What I can't see 
I don't know but I'm makin' time to call 
I don't know 
What I can't see 
I don't know but she's watching me leave 

Just wish they'd turn around 
Just wish they'd try to see 
But they don't understand and that's alright with me I'm leaving now 

Going down to Tucker's Town 
Where I can lie for free 
Nobody stares at me and I'd love to hurt the population 

She called last night 
I said I'm about to leave 
Then I heard him scream, "I'll pack your bags" 

I don't know 
What I can't see 
I don't know but I'm makin' time to call 
I don't know 
What I can't see 
I don't know but I'm leaving here 

To see the world through your Rosy glasses 
I'll teach you to fly but they teach greed 
We live the belt but I can bleed 

I don't know............................................ 
What I can't see........................................ 
I don't know 

(54-40)

Every time I look at you, I go blind. 
Every time I look at you, I go blind. 
In the mornin' I get up, and I try to 
Feel alive, but I can't. 
Every time I look at you, I go blind. 
I don't know what it is. 
Something in me just won't give me a chance. 
I think it's that I feel more confused 
By the deal love has shown me. 
Little child, did you know that there's a light, 
And it's gonna shine right through your eyes. 
What do you think that life is like? 
Every time I look at you, I go blind. 
I go blind 
Well some where over there there's a purpose, 
There's a care for free 
In me there's no body, no one plan, 
No one stand to be free. 
I think it's that because I have seen all the fuss 
And it's no big deal. No big deal. 
Hold me, hold me 'cause I want to get higher and higher, 

I know she said 
Before you left me you were free 
So I'll just lay me down 

Control has left me 
And I can't feel another thing 
So let me turn around 

Do you really want to play these games 
Just to keep things going 
Or are you ready now to let it be 
It's like sometimes you want to see the rain 
But the sun gets in your eyes 
And you want to die now 

Control has left me 
And I can't feel another thing 
So let me turn around 
I see I see 
But things just couldn't be the same 
So let me hold you down 

Never let me down I swore to you 
But now I lied 
I'm here to make it all seem worth while 

You want I know 
But I'll have to try 
To find a way to make me quiet now 

Control has left me 
And I can't feel another thing, so let me turn around 
I see I see 
But things just couldn't be the same 
So won't you hunt her down 

I know she said 
Before you left me you were free 
So I'll just lay me down 

I wonder 
Why are we involved 
With the seasons 
And the living of our own 
Let me see if nothing's wrong 
I just want to be the one 

(She) wanted 
You still give her all our lives 
Let her be son 
Who is she buying 
See her crawl 
I'll just make it out 

(We don't see it bleeding) 
I want to die with you 
(Something no ones needing) 

I left the other day 
But you're never here 
You only listen to things you want to save 
But the power it's ok with you 
You knew I'd find something else to do 

Let me be the one 
(we don't see it bleeding) 
I wanna fly, I wanna die with you 
Something no ones 

See it's not like they 
Are gonna take my faith away 
Let me in it's ok now 
Close the door 

Is it really needing 
When you find a place 
That's only yours 

Just go he beams 
Well I've died for good now 
Let me feel it 
Let her come---let her run---let her run 

(Now) 
Let me be the one 
(We don't see it bleeding) 
I can't feel it, I can't see it 
(Something no ones needing) 
I feel dumb

(Bill Withers)

My friends feel it's their appointed duty 
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me 
But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff 
I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used 
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up 
Until you use me up 
My brother sits me right down and he talked to me 
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me 
And I'm sure he meant well yeah but when our talk was through 
I said brother if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes 
You just keep on using me until you use me up 
Until you use me up 
Oh sometimes yeah it's true you really do abuse me 
You get in a crowd of high-class people and then you act real rude to me 
But oh baby baby baby baby when you love me I can't get enough 
I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used 
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up 
Until you use me up 
Talking about you using me but it all depends on what you do 
It ain't too bad the way you're using me 
Causes I sure am using you to do the things you do 

Aboard his ship he stops to stare
Needs to smell her, touch her hair
Say's "I can't be without her"
Tonight he's going to be without her

"It's late now", she say's
Makes her mind up goes to bed
Another night alone without him
Another night alone in Charleston

When I wake to find the solace of
All that we've become
I can't wait to make the promises
I've been leery of

I'll be there waiting for you
In the morning when times have changed
I'll be there through the lies and all
Standing like your soldiers
You hold your secrets
Through the days when I need to be alone
I will wait for you
Through the lies and all

She was left behind so they could stay
God to feel him this she prays
It would make her feel so much better

What else can I do when the tears have all been wasted? 
And the only voice you choose to hear 
sings the songs of our hearts breaking. 
Say your dreams, they all have changed. 
Well, my smiles, they all have faded. 
And the thoughts that used to seem so pure in my heart, 
they now feel jaded. 
Because I wanna feel like I did. 
And I wanna feel innocence. 
What else can it be except this pride I'm sick of drinking. 
Storm clouds all have gone away. 
Can we stop this thing from sinking? 
Because I wanna feel like I did. 
And I wanna feel innocence. 
And I want you to know, 
and to feel in your soul, 
that someone has come and gone. 
I'm stuck up here with you. 
I never thought we'd get this high. 
I used to be afraid of falling. 
Now I'll spred my wings and I will fly. 
I wanna feel like I did. 
And I wanna feel innocence. 
I wanna feel like I did. 

I see it inside your eyes, 
feel it in your soul. 
A part of you is moving on, 
the other half is gone. 
I don't know what you want from me, 
no, you lock it all inside. 
I try to give you everything, 
but there's nothing else that I can hide.
We've been trying so long. 
You've been pushing too hard. 
You should say what's wrong and echo what's right. 
You need a little space and I need mine. 
When you and I all alone, it feels so damn crowded. 
The house we share is not a home when you're inside it. 
So, now, I go and pack my things, girl, 
I must be moving on. 
I couldn't stand to face you, 
so I, I guess that's why I wrote this song. 
You've been trying so long. 
We've been pushing too hard. 
You should say what's wrong and echo what's right. 
You need a little space and I need mine. 
Oh, oh, oh, we've been trying so long. 
You've been pushing too hard. 
You should say what's wrong and echo what's right. 
You need a little space and I need mine. 

Hello again
Your words they make me smile
As I drift away 
In my little room upstairs 

Oh I spend my nights
Imagining your face your touch
Then I realize
How I don't even know your name 

If we could share our time
Would I disappoint your fantasies
I believe that you could be the one I'm needing
'cause I'm 

only lonely on the inside
didn't mean to take away your dreams
only lonely on the inside
when you close your eyes to your deepest thoughts 

I could start to give apologies
For all the stupid things That I will say and I will do 
If we should ever cross the same place at the same time
Would your world skip a beat 'cause it was me 

If we could share our life 
Would I disappoint your memories
I believe that I could be the one your needing
And I'm 

CHORUS 

If I could give back your hopes your joys your treasures
Don't you think that I would change my world
But there's so many things trying to pull us together
Even though we're far apart I can still watch you walk away 

Only lonely on the inside
Didn't mean to take away your dreams
Only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes do you see me 

(in your deepest thoughts do you see me)

All your life you've waited for love to come and stay
Now that I have found you, you must not slip away
I know it's hard believin' the words you've heard before
Darlin' you must trust them for me
Trust them just once more
Cause baby goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again
If you wake up and I'm not there, I won't be long away oh
'Cause the things you do my Goodbye Girl
Will bring me back to you.

I know you've been taken, afraid to hurt again
You fight the love you feel for me instead of givin' in
I can wait forever, a-helpin' you to see
I was meant for you, my love and you were meant for me

Remember goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again
Though we may be so far apart you still have my heart
So forget your past my Goodbye Girl
Now you're home at last.
