LeAnn Rimes Album

Written by Tom Shapiro, Rivers Rutherford

Love is a lot like a garden
You throw your whole heart into
Once I was easily started
The hard thing to do
Was following through

Chorus
But I want to with you
Make a love that will last forever
I want to with you
make a life we can live together
Baby I promise you
Every time I laugh
Every tear I cry
Every long night I live through
I want to with you

Life is a lot like a battle
When love is under attack
Once I was easily rattled
I'd run just like that
I wouldn't fight back

(repeat chorus)

Once upon a lonely time
I didn't want to share my life
But now I find in everything that I do
I want to with you

Baby I promise you
Every time I laugh
Every tear I cry
Every long night I live through
I want to, I want to, oh with you
Oh I want to with you baby oh yeah
I want to with you
I want to with you

Written by LeAnn Rimes, Dennis Matkosky, Craig Wiseman

I was blinded by the city lights
LA livin' up the crazy life
Lookin' back on how far I'd come
Not quite sure what I was runnin' from

A million miles away from the world I knew
Who'd ever thought it'd lead me back to you...

Chorus
You take me to front porch swings
Mama singin "Cheatin' Heart"
Yeah what a rush
Catchin' lightnin bugs in a mason jar

You take me to county fairs
Bedtime prayers
Old wooden rockin' chairs
And all the things I loved I thought were gone
You take me home
You take me home

Took awhile to finally come around
And separate all that was lost and found
If there's one thing by now I better know
The grass ain't greener where it doesn't grow

I needed someone who would love me like you do
To lead me back to the simple truth

(repeat chorus)

Summer heat
Life's so sweet
And dancin' on daddy's feet
And all the things I loved I thought were gone
You take me home
You take me home

Written by Craig Wiseman, Tony Mullins

Jenny's got a job, a cat named Jake,
31 candles on her birthday cake
Next year

Thought by now she'd have a man
Two car seats and a minivan
But it still ain't here (hey!)

She's been lookin' for Mr. Right so long
But all she's found is Mr. Wrong
That's the pitts

She's drawn a line that she won't cross
Her and time are facing off
She says something's gotta give

Chorus
Something's gotta give me butterflies
Something's gotta make me feel alive
Something's gotta give me dreams at night
Something's gotta make me feel alright
I don't know where it is
But something's gotta give

Friday night she had a date
Cell phone junky a half hour late
That's the biz baby

She's riding out the twists of fate
She's had all that she can take
She says something's gotta give

(repeat chorus)

I swear
There's got to be a meant to be for me out there
Somewhere someday
I'm gonna find someone, somehow, someway

Jenny's got a job, a cat named Jake,
31 candles on her birthday cake
Next year

She thought by now she'd have a man
Two car seats and a minivan
She says something's got,
Something's got,

Leave me lonely, just don't keep me hangin' on
These sleepless nights might kill me
But what don't break me will make me strong
Enough to get past the past in front of me
I'll have to pass some memories
I'll be alright, get by just fine
Say goodbye and

Bring on he's long gone, done me wrong
Tears I'm gonna cry
When you say goodbye, baby I won't be lonely long
I won't be lonely long

Go on and go on with your life
Just don't waste one more minute of mine
Save your precious breath, the one that took mine away
Once upon a time you had me
Hangin' on every word, believin' everything I heard
You're leaving sooner or later
Baby why keep me waitin'?

Bring on he's long gone, done me wrong
Tears I'm gonna cry
When you say goodbye, baby I won't be lonely long
I won't be lonely long

I'd be lying sayin' I ain't afraid
But fear of leavin' ain't no reason to stay
Ah, hey

So baby bring on he's long gone, done me wrong
Tears I'm gonna cry
When you say goodbye, baby I, when you say goodbye, baby I won't be lonely long
I won't be lonely long

Written by Kylie Sackley/Gary Burr/Joel Feeney

Like a cloud full of rain shouldn't hang in the sky
Ice shouldn't burn or a bumblebee fly
If you feel so happy, then why do you cry?
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense

Like an ocean liner shouldn't float on the sea
A pearl in an oyster or a circus of fleas
Someone so perfect can't be falling for me
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense

Nothin' bout love is less than confusing
You can win when you're losing, stand when you're falling
I can't figure it out

Nothin' bout love can make an equation nothin' short of amazing
Wish I could explain it
But I don't know how

The way that we dance, the reason we dream
That big Italian tower, well how does it lean?
Something so strong shouldn't make me this weak
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense

(Instrumental)

Nothin' bout love is less than confusing
You can win when you're losing, stand when you're falling
I can't figure it out

Nothin' bout love can make an equation nothin' short of amazing
Wish I could explain it
But I don't know how
Like the lights of Las Vegas going out on the sand
A jumbo shrimp or a baby grand
How you're touching my heart when you're holding my hand
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
Oh nothin' bout love, makes sense

Written by Kidd/Kennedy

Got a date a week from Friday with a preacher's son
Everybody says he's crazy
I'll have to wait and see

I finally moved to Jackson when the summer came
I won't have to pay that boy to rake my leaves

I'm probably going on and on
It seems I'm doing more of that these days

CHORUS 1:
I probably wouldn't be this way
I probably wouldn't hurt so bad
I never pictured every minute without you in it
Oh You left so fast
Sometimes I see you standing there
Sometimes it's like I'm losing touch
Sometimes I feel like I'm so lucky to have had the chance to love this much
God gave me a moment's grace
'Cause if I'd never seen your face
I probably wouldn't be this way

Mama says that I just shouldn't speak to you
Susan says that I should just move on

You oughta see the way these people look at me
When they see me 'round here talking to this stone

Everybody thinks I've lost my mind
But I just take it day by day

CHORUS 2:
I probably wouldn't be this way
I probably wouldn't hurt so bad
I never pictured every minute without you in it
Oh You left so fast
Sometimes I see you standing there
Sometimes I feel an angel's touch
Sometimes I feel like I'm so lucky to have had the chance to love this much
God gave me a moment's grace
'Cause if I'd never seen your face
I probably wouldn't be this way

Probably wouldn't be this way

Got A Date a week from Friday with a preacher's son
Everybody says I'm crazy

Written by Marcel

Accept me for who I am
That I'm only human
And there are more important things
Then what we fight about
We won't always see eye to eye
We say hurtful things, sometimes
And it gets hard when you love someone so much

Chorus
Everybody's got highs, and lows
It's alright
Its the weight of love
Highs and lows, it's alright
Oh, It's the weight of love

Remember our first kiss
And how we melted in our seats
There will never be a January
As warm in Tennessee
It was an angel in the night
Nothing's ever felt so right
And even the stars over our backyard
Don't shine sometimes

(repeat chorus)

We will grow old together
Even for worse or better
Nothing will ever keep us apart

Written by Jeffrey Steele, Steve Robson

A little stretch of river on a big green field
The kind you see from airplanes baby, that's the deal, that's the deal
A place to plan a future a place to keep the past
A place to raise some kids what's wrong with that, wrong with that

Maybe it's the same routine
Walking on the concrete
Running like a river so deep
Wearin' down my high heels
Wearin' down my high ideals
Of what I thought my life was supposed to be

Chorus
Everybody's got a weakness some kind of kryptonite
Wearing em' down
Everybody's got dreams they can't let go of don't they baby
Everybody has a little secret they keep inside and mine's
Livin' happily ever afterly
With you, with you

I want to paint the world with the colors that I see
Every time I close my eyes and you're kissin' me, kissin' me
I wanna wake up in your arms so far from here
I wanna get lost in the dark and know you're near, know you're near

Maybe it's an old love song playing up louad on the radio
Bringin' these thoughts on
Getting me thinking that there might be a little bit more than
What im working for
Or maybe it's just me

(repeat chorus)

Everybody's got a weakness

Written by LeAnn Rimes, Dean Sheremet, Trey Bruce

Six a.m. came way to early
But Friday means it's over soon
Life gets boring in a hurry
But I got somethin' that gets me goin'
And I'm already gone

Chorus:
I got it bad
Feel that rumble
tough and tumble under my feet
I got it bad
round and round, we've all gone mad
Scream it - I got it bad

I'm addicted to the fast life
I cut my teeth on concrete dreams
The rush of no control gets me high
You know what I think
too much of a bad thing
Is exactly what I need

(repeat chorus)

Bridge:
Bad for speed and burnin' candles
At both ends till I'm unraveled
Bad for jumpin' off the edge

Written by Jason Deere, Kristyn Osborn

God only knows how I've needed a friend
Who can see the boldness and pride
Someone strong enough I can put my faith in
Someone willing to let me inside
So be a man and be my man

First Chorus:
I dare you to need me
Like nobody else
I dare you to feel me
Like you've never felt
I dare you to want to want
To wanna be good to me

Baby you've got your reasons
Dangling from kite strings
But you can open your hands, let them fly
Oh I know you wont always say and do the right things
Oh but some things are worth a try
So if you can, be my man

Second Chorus:
I dare you to know me
Like I've never known
I dare you to show me
That I can be shown
Dare you to want to want
To wanna be good to me

Tell me I,
Tell me I'm the one who deserves you
Oh and every time, every time you know that you want to
I dare you

Third Chorus:
I dare you to hold me
Like you never will (again)
Kiss me and leave the world standing still
Dare you to want to want

Written by LeAnn Rimes, Blair Daly, Troy Verges

Looks like she really did you in
You're a broken hearted lover
Just tryin' to recover
You need to find a place to mend
All your time ain't necessary
But I don't wanna be a temporary thing
Gimme just half a chance

Chorus
When this woman loves a man
She'll do anything she can
To keep the fire alive in your soul
And when all the chips are down
I'm still gonna be the one around
To build you up and be your friend
When this woman loves
When this woman loves a man

Dont play it cool, no don't be shy
Oh there's no need to worry
No I'm not in a hurry
So let your conscience be your guide boy
Come here and let me show you
Just how much I adore you
Let me help you understand

(repeat chorus 2 x's)

TAG: When this woman loves

Written by Dennis Matkosky, Darrell Brown, Joanna Cotten

Isn't it a gamble
Layin' your heart out on the floor
Nothin' short of a miracle
When you find the one you're looking for
It's another kind of trouble trying to hang on to who you are
When all you wanna do is lose yourself in someone else's arms
Isn't it a wonder (that) we got this far

Some people aren't lucky like us
Some people they just give up
When the hard times fall
The thrill of it all is gone
Leaves you in a cloud of dust
It's sad to think that some won't find it
And others won't recognize it even when it comes
We're all at the mercy of the will of love
Some people yeah
Some people aren't lucky like us

Two lonely souls that just stumbled into fate
Look how much we've been given babe
In spite of all of our mistakes
And I will never forget I've been blessed with the gift of lovin' you
And when the going aint easy babe
A little faith will pull us through
Thank God we have eachother we can hang onto

(repeat chorus)

Bridge
To have someone you can laugh with
Someone you can cry with
Tell all your secrets to
To have someone who won't judge you
Someone who just loves you
No matter what, they stand beside you
