Laura Bell
Longing For A Place Already Gone
Fool Moon
The summer night is soft and still.
As I descend this lonely hill
Into the city lyin' down below.
I don't need to see the sky
The emptiness I feel inside
Tells me something I already know.

Chorus:
There's a ... (Must be a...)
Fool moon out tonight.
And it's shining bright on the lonely lives and the love they'll never find.
And like a fool I'm thinking of you and I wanna cry.
Must be a fool moon out tonight.

The smoky bar is dark and loud
I'm running with a swinging crowd
So many here together so alone
They're making moves, it's gettin' late
The desperate game accelerates
They're willing to go anywhere but home
(repeat chorus)

You came from Austin to LA
To work a job I know you hate --
To feel so lost and far away from home.
When the day is done, you're dead on your feet,
And the ends that never seem to meet
Have got you living close to the bone.
Yeah, Baby you look stressed, you need a little rest.
But I can chase your troubles away.

Chorus:
Lie back, think of Texas, and you'll be fine.
Lie back, relax, and unwind.
Just put yourself in my hands,
And I'll ease your worried mind
Just lie back and think of Texas, and you'll be fine.

Just think of the sate and the people you love,
And the Lonestar shinin' down from above
On the only place you truly do belong.
Someday you'll be livin' free as a bird,
Where seldom is heard a discouraging a word,
And every jukebox plays your favorite song.
So grab yourself a beer, come on over here.
Let me love your troubles away...
(Repeat Chorus)

Well, I know how hard it can get,
Oh, but, Baby, we ain't licked yet.
And after everything we've been through,
All our dreams will come true.

So, lie back, think of Texas, and you'll be fine
Lie back, think of Texas and unwind.
Oh, Just put yourself in my hands,
Baby, I'm gonna blow your mind.
So, lie back and think of Texas and you'll be fine.
Lie back and think of Texas and you'll be fine.
So Fine ...

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Texas
(repeat)

What good is marriage when you're lonely all the time?
And I bet you'd see a stranger if you'd ever look into my eyes.
What good is a heart when it's broken right in two?
We did, now we don't...
And, I wonder why I said "I do."

Chorus:
I'd go on and leave you, but there's a little one to answer to.
He's my baby and he's yours, too
And he's all the love that's left between me and you.

I'm making love to memories, in pictures on the wall.
When you were clear and present .... Of happy timestogether before I was invisible.

Chorus (repeat)

When it was good, it was great. You give too little, too late.
And you don't even know who I've become.
But no matter what we've lost, his future's worth the cost
I'll sacrifice cause he's the one I love.

I'd go on and leave you, but there's a little one to answer to.
He's the best thing we'll ever do.
And he's all the love that's left between me and you.

Cause he's all the love that's left between me and you.

I caught my reflection, and I've come to realize
I'm too hung up on how I look in other people's eyes
I can't pretend that the latest trends and the fads that come and go
Don't suck me in and turn me into someone I don't know

I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me
With all my imperfections and insecurities
I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me
Yeah, like it or not, I'm all I've got.
I just wanna be me.

Steroetypes, and media hype, and gossip magazines.
Who's fat, who's thin,
Who's out, Who's in,
and who's a Botox queen.
The pack of lies, they advertise keep runnin' through my head.
Until it hurts from news alerts, can't swallow what I'm fed.

I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me
Don't try to push my buttons.
I don't believe everything I read
I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me.
Yeah, like it or not, I'm all I got
I just wanna be me.

We may not see eye to eye, but let's keep an open mind
cause when you look for answers, it's the questions that you find
I reserve the right to admit that I was wrong
And wind up feeling stupid everytime I hear this song.

I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me
I'm not trying to make excuses ... or offer an apology.
I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me
Like it or not, I'm all I've got.
I just want to be me.

Patsy says "crazy" but I say love...
And maybe one day it won't be this tough.
I watch you walk away.
I'm tired but I gotta say...
That baby I'm fallin' for you.

Sugar, it's time to go.
I'm hopin' the traffic's slow.
Cause if you miss that flight,
Oh, You'll get to stay the night.
And I'll say "I'm fallin' for you..."

It's been a while since
I've seen that smile.
When you're around, I feel just like a child.

I told you that I was scared and totally unprepared,
But you don't seem to mind.
And Honey, I like that just fine.
Could it be that you're fallin' too?

It's been a while since
I've seen that smile.
When you're around I feel just like a child...

Take me away with you.
Or Baby stay a few...
I could lie and keep my pride,
And keep my lips shut tight, but the truth is
I'm fallin' for you.

Hm yeah, the truth is...
I'm "crazy" for you.

Yeah, I went to a party with my baby by my side.
Before the night was over
Well, we had a little fight.
Walkin' to the car, I said "Honey don't you think,
I'm gonna have to drive us home, You've had too much to drink?"

Get in the trunk, You're Designated Drunk
Get in the trunk, the Designated Drunk.

I said, if you get behind the wheel, we won't get very far.
'Cause the last time that this happened, well, you threw up in the car...
Now move that spare, and climb in there and don't you dare talk back!
Put your feet down by those safety flares, your head up by the jack.

Get in the trunk, You're Designated Drunk
Get in the trunk, the Designated Drunk.
(repeat)

Finally, got him where I wanted... He was banging from inside.
Cause, I hit a couple speed bumps to make sure he was alive!
Made a quick stop at the mini-mart on the way home.
How was I to know it was a tow-away zone?!

He's in the trunk, that designated drunk.
He's in the trunk, that designated drunk.
He's in the trunk, the designated drunk.

You said you like it when I'm wearin' blue,
But that's all I'm in now since I laid eyes on you.
We stare too long in a crowded room.
Do they notice?

And we stay up talking till quarter past two.
And she'll roll on over with no warmth from you.
And he's bound to wonder what I've been up to.
And I'm sorry

[Bridge]
Oh, I would. Baby if I could, be two of me.
Understand, I'm lovin' and lyin' the best that I can,

[Chorus]
'Cause all that I feel, you'll never know,
So hold me and then let me go,
'Cause Here I stand moving forward as planned.
Lovin' and Lyin' the best that I can.

My head's in a haze as I walk down the street.
His hand and your memory in my mind compete
For this token of love, broken hearts ain't enough
Please forgive me for what I've got to do.

[Bridge]
Oh, I would. Baby if I could, be two of me.
Understand, I'm lovin' and lyin' the best that I can.

[Chorus]
'Cause all that I feel you'll never know.
So hold me and then let me go.
'Cause here I stand moving forward as planned.
Lovin' and Lyin' the best that—

[Climax]
We can't escape from our reality
But try to deny the lives the we lead
But you gotta know I never felt so alive
so I'm getting you out of my mind.
All that I feel you'll never know.
So hold me and then let me go.
'Cause here I stand moving forward as planned.
Lovin' and lyin' the best that I can.

You said you like it when I'm wearin' blue,
But that's all I'm in now since layin' eyes on you...

Well, I've been workin' on a perfect plan.
I'll be your woman if you'll be my man.
I'm gonna give you my heart cause I know your love is real.
I got everything in the material world, now all I want is to be your girl.
So get down to business, Baby let's cut a deal.

Chorus:
I'll make the money, you make the love.
Just make it so I get home at night, I'm the only one you're thinkin' of.
And you can kick back every mornin' and I'll go push and shove
I said, I'll make the money, honey, You make the love.

Take karate class, join a country club
You can spend all day soakin' in the tub
Blow a million bucks, charge it all to me
but when quittin' time comes rollin' round
I wanna hold ya in my arms watch the sun go down
All alone together in the lap of luxury, baby!

Chorus

Baby, I don't care if you're stone broke.
It don't matter who pays the rent, when the lovin' is solid rock.

I'll make the money, you make the love (4x)
You make the love (4x)
Uh, uh-huh (3x)
HEY!

I like it hard
I like it sweet
I like it bitter when I cheat.
I like it dark, I even like it white...
I like it in the middle of the night.

I sneak it in the church
I take it when I drive
Did it with my friends since I was five.
I prefer it in a bar... don't even need a kiss.
When it comes with nuts you can't miss.

Mhh, give me a C, mm give me an H, give me an
OCO... don't you be late.
It's what I want, at any cost ...
without chocolate I'd be lost

I like it on top
I like it in between
My little secret keeps me lean.
I want it here, I want it now, it's for pleasure anyhow

Godiva, Hershey's, Nestle Quick
I like it slow, but who gives a lic.
You think it's whoopie of which I sing, but
it's chocolate... the next best thing

There's somethin' that I wanna know,
how far will a woman go.
When you got somethin' that she wants.
She will be your friend thill the day...
She tries to steal your man away.

She was a teasin' venus flytrap looking for a night cap
Gonna stab me in the back.
I looked her in the eye and said
"Hey ya got as much makeup on your other face."

With your long blonde hair, and coal black heart.
She's got that long blonde hair, and coal black heart.

Now, I must admit you're pretty cute,
But that's your only attribute.
A heart as dark as your roots.
He's the only fool that don't see.
The fool you're trying to make of me.

You know I've seen this act before,
The she-wolf howlin' at the door
Smellin' like a french whore.
Gonna wish that you were dead,
I'll drag your white trash out of bed...

By your long blonde hair and coal black heart.
You got that long blonde hair and coal black heart.
Coal black heart.

Long blonde hair, and a coal black heart.
I know that long blonde hair and a coal black heart.
Amen.

Lemme ask you somethin'. Does the patch match?
'Cause I know him and it's not just about long blonde hair, it's about short blonde hair too.
I know that you know that they're all pigs, but honey, I like my pig and you can get your bacon somewhere else.

Now how do you think I know so much about long blonde hair and coal black hearts?
I know you're mama! She's an old Kentucky hoe.

We're all strange fruit on this family tree,
And all my kinfolk look too much like me.
I warn you now before you ask me out,
Theres a little somethin you should know about

I got good genes,
Yeah, I got good genes,
Were a little different than other teams, but one things for sure.
Weve got good genes.

My mom got married at the age of three to my second cousin from Tennessee,
But trees will grow as twigs are bent.
Her first childs now the president.

Oh, I got good genes,
Yeah, I got good genes,
Got better stock than the Kennedy's
Im tellin' you,
I got good genes!

Then she met my Daddy, he told her the deal
He said, I got better swimmers than the Navy Seals,
So, I plopped out, did a jig on the floor
And, I drove myself home in a lifted Ford.

A.D.H.D., manic, kid,
We're the guinea pigs for Ritalin.
Forget about your coffee, crank n' crack,
Ya run out of fuel, just drill a hole in my back!

I got good genes,
Yeah, I got good genes,
Sleep outside when mama screams
We're classy folks, yeah, we got good genes!

We're all Bell ringers, even the dog.
We yell too loud watching basketball.
Eatin' country ham, potato salad and baked beans.
We bleed blue to match our genes!

BREAKDOWN
I got a brother thinks Jesus came from space,
I got a sister who worked on Joan River's face,
I got an uncle who fathered bout half of the South,
Got an aunt in porn, with a giant mouth!
We got doctors 'n lawyers, CEOs and temps,
We got a senator, a major, and a gaggle of pimps!
We got headed hoochies, with bootleg Gucci's, the 4th of July we make red, white, and blue cheese!

I got good genes!
I got good genes!

If you take me home, you'll see what I mean,
It's hard to get me out of my tight-ass jeans.

I got good genes!
I got good genes!

Dallas was a roughneck, bad as he could be,
But no one ever knew it cept the likes of me.
Bad boy, bad boy
Bad boy, bad bot
He was the baddest boy I had ever seen

Hed take me down with one look, put me on the ground,
Hold me by my hearstrings and whip me all around.
Bad boy, bad boy
Bad boy, bad boy
He was that baddest boy boy, that boy was mean.

Let me tell ya, he didnt need a gun, he didnt need a knife,
Cause I couldnt run once he barged into my life.
Robbed me of my senses, got me takin chances
God that boy was handsome, and you should see him dance
Bad boy, bad boy
He was the baddest boy I had ever seen.

Oh, Dallas plays it sweet with everyone but me,
Boy hes got em good and fooled and thats just fine with me.
Cause Im a bad girl, bad girl
And oh, that bah boy, he made the worse girl out of me

I was a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad ,bad, bad boy
I was a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad ,bad, bad boy
Outro

Why don't you do me a favor?
Just a small payment in kind.
For some affection coming from my direction,
I'll try not to be a waste of time.

Chorus:
Just pretend that you love me. Look at me longer than you do.
Let me be the reason you're not sleeping at night
And be by my side when I'm dreaming of you.

I spend too much time on my hair and muddle over what I should wear.
My mind is dispensing, my heart is commencing.
I'm mindless while you're unaware...

(repeat chorus)

I hope you'll realize it one day before my fickle ways carry on
But 'till then you could save me baby and act like you love me for fun.

Spoken:
Do you really not know that I care?
God, I hope you haven't seen me stare
But, I can't seem to fake it.
In hopes you'll mistake it,
'cause I think we'd be a perfect pair.

(repeat chorus)

On the floors of Tokyo
Or down in London town to go, go
With the record selection
And my mirror reflection
I'm dancing with myself

When there's no one else in sight
In the crowded lonely night
Well, I wait so long
For my love vibration
And I'm dancing with myself

Oh, oh, dancing with myself
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
Well, there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
I'd be like every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And not be dancing with myself

Oh, oh, dancing with myself
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
Well, there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
I'd be like every type of girl
But you empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And not be dancing with myself

Oh, oh, dancing with myself
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh, oh, dancing with myself
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself
