Sara Evans Album

Why should we wait till we find out where we're going
The perfect job, the perfect house, the perfect life we prayed about
I don't know about you, but I think that we've got everything we need
All I want, is to be loved

Desperately like the sun loves the moon,
And the moon adores the shore
And they dance back and forth
Just like you and me,
The whole world wants to be loved,
Desperately, desperately

Babe I believe that everyday it's a crossroad
We can take the right fork or take the left
Just as long as we move ahead
Just as long as you promise that you'll always be with me
Cause all I want is to be loved, to be loved

Desperately like the sun loves the moon,
And the moon adores the shore
And thy dance back and forth
Just like you and me,
The whole world wants to be loved,
Desperately, desperately

Oho, I wanna grow old with you,
Oho, I wanna have your babies too desperately

Desperately like the sun loves the moon,
And the moon adores the shore
And they dance back and forth
Just like you and me,
The whole world wants to be loved,
Desperately, desperately
The whole world wants to be loved, desperately
The whole world wants to be loved, desperately

Desperately,
Desperately.

Woke up late today and I still feel the sting of the pain
But I brushed my teeth anyway
I got dressed through the mess and put a smile on my face
I got a little bit stronger

Riding in the car to work and I'm trying to ignore the hurt
So I turned on the radio, stupid song made me think of you
I listened to it for minute but I changed it
I'm getting a little bit stronger, just a little bit stronger

And I'm done hoping that we could work it out
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Letting you drag my heart around
And, oh, I'm done thinking that you could ever change

I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger

Doesn't happen overnight but you turn around
And a month's gone by and you realize you haven't cried
I'm not giving you a hour or a second or another minute longer
I'm busy getting stronger

And I'm done hoping that we can work it out
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Letting you drag my heart around
And, oh, I'm done thinking, that you could ever change

I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger
I get a little bit stronger

Getting along without you, baby
I'm better off without you, baby
How does it feel without me, baby?
I'm getting stronger without you, baby

And I'm done hoping we could work it out
I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels
Letting you drag my heart around
And, oh, I'm done thinking that you could ever change

I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger

I get a little bit stronger
Just a little bit stronger
A little bit, a little bit, a little bit stronger
I get a little bit stronger

I don't want you to come 'round here no more,
I beg you for mercy.
You don't know how strong my weakness is
Or how much it hurts me.
Cause when you say it's over with her,
I want to believe it's true.
So I let you in, knowing tomorrow
I'm gonna wake up missing you,
Wake up missing you.

When the one you love's in love with someone else,
Don't you know it's torture? I mean it's a living hell.
No matter how I try to convince myself,
This time I won't lose control.
One look in your blue eyes and suddenly
My heart can't tell you no.

I don't want you to call me up no more,
Saying you need me.
You're crazy if you think just half your love
Could ever please me.
Still I want to hold you, touch you
When you look at me that way.
There's only one solution I know:
You got to stay away from me,
Stay away from me!

When the one you love's in love with someone else,
Don't you know it's torture? I mean it's a living hell.
No matter how I try to convince myself,
This time I won't lose control.
One look in your sad eyes and suddenly
My heart can't tell you no,
My heart can't tell you no!

I don't want you to come round here no more,
I beg you for mercy.

When the one you love's in love with someone else,
Don't you know it's torture? I mean it's a living hell.
When the one you love's in love with someone else,
Don't you know it's torture? I mean it's a living hell.
Living hell...

When the one you love's in love with someone else,
Don't you know it's torture? I mean it's a living hell.

Hey, you and me baby
We're flying on a wing and a prayer
Can't tell you where we're going
I just know that we're gonna get there
Got all that we need in a cart in a checkout line
Hey, I'll bag while you scan
I bet we beat traffic in time

Top down, now you're singin'
It's such a beautiful day
I don't care what you're thinking
Baby, put your map away

‘Cause we can go
Anywhere
Yeah we can go
Anywhere, I don't care
California, Mississippi, all the way to New York City
As long as you're riding shotgun with me
Anywhere
Love will get us there

Tell your boss maybe you'll come back and maybe you won't
Well in life sometimes people take chances
Most times they don't
Don't wanna sit on the side of the road
While our dreams pass me by
I'm sick of livin' my life in park
I wanna live it in drive

‘Cause we can go
Anywhere
Yeah we can go
Anywhere, I don't care
California, Mississippi, all the way to New York City
As long as you're riding shotgun with me
Anywhere
Love will get us there

Anywhere
Yeah we can go
Anywhere, I don't care
California, Mississippi, all the way to New York City
As long as you're riding shotgun with me
Anywhere
Yeah we can go
Anywhere
Oh we can go
Anywhere
Love will get us there

Thank you for the roses that you sent me
They're beautiful
And you asked me to think of you
You know I will

Your note just said I'm sorry, please forgive me
I always do
But I have to let you know the way I feel

I left you this message so you'd know
That sometimes loving me just means leaving me
Alone

So please don't call every time you think of me
Cuz I need some time alone to kill this pain
You should know that I don't give up easily
But sometimes for things to grow they need some rain
And sometimes loving me, just means leaving me
Alone

Yeah, I left you this message
So you'd know
To not come by every time you're missin' me
Cuz I need some time alone to kill this pain
You should know that I don't give up easily
But sometimes for things to grow they need some rain
And sometimes loving me, just means leaving me
Alone

Sometimes loving me, just means leaving me
Alone

On a morning flight out of Birmingham he started talking
She'd never even met him, but Lord, she thought that
He'd never shut up
If she didn't look up
And pay attention
So she took off her headphones
Closed her book
And started listening

He said I just broke up with my girlfriend yesterday
In a “Dear John” note she said I'm moving to L.A.
I'm calling it off
I'm taking the dog
And don't try to follow
She thinks she's a big star now
She made the Hollywood round
Of American Idol
Thirty minutes later she felt sorry for him a little
She moved from her seat on the aisle to the middle

Buckle up, here comes love
Looks like cupid just showed up
Let him on
Let him by
Give him room
But don't ask why
Cause love don't need no ticket to ride

She said I just can't believe someone would leave a man like you
You seem like a good one, in these days there are so few
Lord knows I've tried
To find a decent guy
But it's hard to do
The way I hate to shop
And how I love football
You'd think I'd have two
A second glass of wine just over the Rockies
They didn't see the signs but it was plain as plain can be

Buckle up, here comes love
Looks like cupid just showed up
Let him on
Let him by
Give him room
But don't ask why
Cause love don't need no ticket to ride

Arrive in LAX, waitin' on their bus
He says "What happens next?" and she said "Do you have to ask?"

Buckle up, here comes love
Looks like cupid just showed up
Let him on
Let him by
Give him room
And don't ask why
Cause love don't need no ticket to ride

Buckle up, here comes love
Looks like cupid just showed up
Let him on
Let him by
Give him room
Don't ask why
Cause love don't need no
Love don't need no ticket to ride

My nails are chipped and my hair's in knots
An my jeans are ripped and I just can't stop
Drinking this wine
And I read this bible and I search for signs
Any little whisper that says you're alright
But sometimes

I'd like to get through a day without crying
Night without asking why I can't stop thinking about you
Get through a song without thinking
I'm drowning, I'm sinking
Wondering how I'm ever gonna get through
But my feet just keep on moving
And I know the truth is
Nobody gets through life without losing

You said you love me but you went away
And now I convinced myself it will be OK
But I don't know
Sometimes I think that I'm doing better
Then the night shows up and it drags on forever
And the devil tells me we'll never be together
And

I'd just like to get through the day without crying
Night without asking why I can't stop thinking about you
Get through a song without thinking
I'm drowning, I'm sinking
Wondering how I'm ever gonna get through
But my feet just keep on moving
And I know the truth is
Nobody gets through life without losing

Someone they love, someone they need
Something they thought was meant to be
Still I just keep on trying to…

Get through a day without crying
Night without asking why I can't stop thinking about you
Get through a song without thinking
I'm drowning, I'm sinking
Wondering how I'm ever gonna get through
But my feet just keep on moving
And I know the truth is
Nobody gets through life without losing, losing, losing, losing

He drove off in his pickup truck
To meet his buddies for a few more beers
I said baby I'll come pick you up
He never called so I waited here
Til all my worst fears came true
And I heard the knock at the door
Telling me he ain't coming back no more
Blue lights flashed and I fell to the floor

And I lost a good man
To a bad habit
He didn't love the whiskey
He just had to have it
If you could put a price tag
On everything that haunts me
Then you'd know
What that drink cost me

Used to be I'd pour it out
Every drop down the kitchen sink
So many nights I'd scream and shout
Even tried to hide his keys
Oh I tried everything
To keep him from going down that road
But then my heart just let him go
Cause you can't stop a hellbent soul

And I lost a good man
To a bad habit
He didn't love the whiskey
He just had to have it
If you could put a price tag
On everything that haunts me
Then you'd know
What that drink cost me

I cried a tear for every drop
That turned a hero into a coward
And I'd give anything
For just one happy hour

Cause I lost a good man
To a bad habit
He didn't love the whiskey
He just had to have it
If you could put price tag
On everything that haunts me
Then you'd know
What that drink cost me
Yes you'd know
What that drink cost me

He drove off in his pickup truck
To meet his buddies for a few more beers

I'd been on the mountain way too long
The winds blow fiercer when that sun is gone
It got so cold and lonely every night
I just prayed for something warm to melt that ice
Yeah, I was out here freezing
‘Til you covered me in feelings
This spark you lit inside me just won't die

Your love's like wildfire
Running though my heart
Running through my veins
I hope it never rains
Cause I'm burning in desire
But I don't feel the pain
I'm dancing in the flames
I'll never be the same
Wildfire, wildfire
You can't kill this wildfire

You could be a million miles from me
And I would still be feeling all your heat
‘Cuz you're the kind of man you can't escape
And even if I tried to run away

Your love's like wildfire
Running though my heart
Running through my veins
I hope it never rains
Casue I'm burning in desire
But I don't feel the pain
I'm dancing in the flames
I'll never be the same
Wildfire, wildfire
You can't kill this wildfire

Wildfire, ooh babe

I was on that mountain way too long
The light was almost out but now it's on

Your love's like wildfire
Running though my heart
Running through my veins
I hope it never rains
Cause I'm burning in desire
But I don't feel the pain
I'm dancing in the flames
I'll never be the same

Your love's like wildfire
And it's running though my heart
Running through my veins
I'll never be the same
Wildfire, wildfire
You can't kill this
Wildfire, wildfire
You can't kill this wildfire

(Sara Evans/Marcus Hummon/Darrell Scott)

I've been tellin' my dreams to the scarecrow
'Bout the places that I'd like to see
I said, friend do you think I'll ever get there
Ah, but he just stands there smilin' back at me

So I confessed my sins to the preacher
About the love I've been prayin' to find
Is there a brown eye'd boy in my future, yeah
He says. girl you've got nothin' but time

But how do you wait for heaven
And who has that much time
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
When you know, that you were born, you were born to fly

My daddy, he's grounded like the oak tree
My momma, she is steady as the sun
Oh you know I love my folks
But I keep starin' down the road
Just lookin' for my one chance to run

Yeah, 'cause I will soar away like the blackbird
I will blow in the wind like a sea
I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams
And I will grow up where I'll wander wild and free

Oh, how do you wait for heaven
And who has that much time
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
When you know, that you were born
You were born yeah
You were born to fly

So how do you wait for heaven
And who has that much time
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
When you know that you were born
You were born to fly fly fly fly

Hey
Ooooh, ooooh
