Stacie Orrico Album

(It could all be so simple, simple)

Don't need high heels
For a good feel
You can keep the fancy clothes
I'll take walkin in the rain
Over things material
I'll trade Melrose and the big names
Give me faces that I know
Just play a melody that everybody knows

Take it down, down, down
And strip it to the core
I don't really need much less is more, more, more

CHORUS:
True to life, true to me
The way it's got to be
So simple, so simple, so simple
Live to love, love to be
Absolutely free
(so simple, so simple, simple)

Give me wisdom, plain and truthful
Teach me somethin I don't know
Plain as education, inspiration I suppose (yeah yeah)
Give me family, on a Sunday
And I'll be just fine
There's nothing in the world
That's worth more of my time

Take it down, down, down
And strip it to the core
I don't really need much less is more, more, more

-CHORUS x2-

Livin my dream, is my song to the world
(let 'em hear it)
Sharin' my soul and spirit
I'm hopin that you hear it
Got one (one) life (life) to live (live)
It's only what you make it (make it)
Every new day's a chance worth takin

-CHORUS x2-

Oh, Oh
I'm not missing you
Been through just about everything that I could go through
When it comes to relationships
Don't know what I was missing or why I ain't listen
When I told myself that was it
Now here I go, hurt again
Cause of my curiosity
Now that it's over
What else could it be, he just had to cheat

I made a promise never to settle
Why didn't I keep it?
Cause I hated the heartbreak
Crying and cheating, the fooling around

CHORUS
(But) I'm not missing you
I'm not going through the motions
Waiting and hoping you call me
I'm not missing you
You might have had me open
But I must be going because
I got life to do
I know I'm usually hanging on
I used to hate to see you gone
But this time it's different
I don't even feel the distance
I'm not missing
I'm not missing you

It's a shame in a way cause
I feel that I may not ever find the right one for me
Did I leave him, is he right in front of my face oh
Will my true love ever be?
Why would I go on a search again
When I know what the end will be
What good is love when it keeps on hurting me?

I made a promise never to settle
Why didn't I keep it?
Cause I hated the heartbreak
Crying and cheating, the fooling around

Chorus x 2

No I can't be with you
Cause I'm scared felt like I was falling when you left me
I can't keep going through life
Unaware of what I missed
And the person I could be
Love's good when it's right
And when it's left in your memory
All the times I let you down
I guess love will be nice for someone else's life

(But) I'm not missing you
I'm not going through the motions
Waiting and hoping you call me
I'm not missing you
You might have had me open
But I must be going because
I got life to do
I know I'm usually hanging on
I used to hate to see you gone (I used to hate it)
Oh different, oh feel the distance
I'm not missing
I'm not missing you


I'm not going through the motions
Waiting and hoping you call me (knockin' at my door)
You might have had me open
But I must be going because (it's the best day of my life)
I know I'm usually hanging on
I used to hate to see you gone
Oh different, feel the distance
I'm not missing
I'm not missing you I'm not missing you (oh baby)
I'm not missing you
I'm so over you
It ain't even a problem

I woke up holding my pillow
Didn't know it was a dream
I felt like I found my real love
Only if there's a way to bring it to me
Then I would be so complete and mellow
Until then I can have you to myself
If I want to feel love

Boy I dream you in the morning, noon, and night
And I need you in my life
Oh I, Oh I
Yeah I dream you in the morning, noon, and night
And I need you in my life
Oh I, Oh I
Yeah I dream you all the time

Love - how much I get to see you
There has never been a time when I was lonely and can't reach you
Boy it's such a perfect time for me
Forever - I was afraid there'd never be true love
Cause I know you're the kind I see myself with
I don't know if it exists out here - love

And I picture you and I for always in our life
It's like we're intertwined
You're always on my mind
I picture you and I for always in our life
It's like we're intertwined
You're always on my mind

Morning, noon, and night
I need you in my life
Oh I, Oh I
Boy, I dream you all the time
Morning, noon, and night
My life, Oh I, Oh I
I need you in my life

In the morning, noon and night
Oh I
Really need you in my life
I need you oh
I need you boy
I need you in my life

Boy I dream you in the morning, noon, and night
And I need you in my life
Oh I, Oh I
Yeah I dream you in the morning, noon, and night
I need you, I need you in my life
Oh I, Oh I
Yeah I dream you all the time

Morning noon and night
Need you in my life
Oh baby

You make it so easy to love you (you)

Oh baby (babe)

Its never too hard to (to)
Revolve my world around you (you)
You make it so easy to love you

Lately I've been feelin kinda heavy
Could it be all the baggage im carrying
I had a guy who wasn't right
Talk about love and i gotta think twice
I mean he really worked a number
Up in my mind when I was open
Not just my lover, was my best friend
But he stole my heart and kept runnin

It's either love or life I want it all
But sometimes I may not get all the calls
Will you pick me up baby when I fall
Keep me safe in your arms
I know I might be movin slow
We can pick it up later down the road
Its a bit difficult to give you control
But let`s see where it goes

CHORUS:
Cause I've been lied to, cheated on
But you can make it right
If you can come and save me, save me
So wont you come and save me, save me
I can't trust, the truth be told
But you can make it right
If you can come and save me, save me
I'll let you come save me, save me

So far my life has been crazy
Like a reality show
But baby can you take the drama out my life
Make me forget all the tears that i've cried
Oh I think I better warn ya
What you see ain't just what you gon' get
Pieces of me aint right, they're still left
Can you pull them together

Its either love or life I want it all
But sometimes I may not get all the calls
Will you pick me up baby when I fall
Keep me safe in your arms
I know I might be movin slow
We can pick it up later down the road
Its a bit difficult to give you control
But let's see where it goes

-CHORUS-

I was trapped within my pain
Not long ago
It's still hard
But I try to do the best I can
Understand if my heart breaks again
It's already done, its over
Cause I know my heart will never mend

But you can make it right
Ohhh, oooh
You're gonna make it right
Ohhhh yeah yeah

-CHORUS x2-

Your love is saving me
Ohhh

From your walk to your style
From your lips to your smile
Got me feelin like a child
And baby I just want it all for me
Baby tell me that it's all for me
From your kiss to your touch
Got me needin it so much
Boy I got a crush
And with you is where I wanna be
So please tell me that its all for me

(CHORUS)
I love it I dont want it to stop
Every minute I'm without you always seems like a lot
Feels like I'm in a dream when I'm not everytime I get close to you
Please don't wake me baby cause
I really hate seein you go
But you gotta handle business, yeah baby I know
??? when you walked out the door
Please take me away with you

From the look in your eye
You want me as bad as i want you in my life
Baby lovin you feels like a dream
And your lovin has become a need
Every time that you go
I get a pain in my heart, and that lets me know
I just gotta have you all for me
Baby tell me that it's all for me

-CHORUS x2-

A love like yours is hard to find
Can i be yours will you be mine
I think its time
Please take me away with you
Cause you bring out the best in me
The greatest love I've ever seen
Is what I need please take me away with you

-CHORUS-

I heard you got the news today
heard you got the news today
Seems nothin ever goes your way, oh no
Yesterday was a-okay
Now today you're feelin like you're lost
Ohhh
And he say, she say (she say)
She's too young, theres no way (there's no way)
Not on her own (she can never make it on her own)
But who cares what they say
Cause no one can judge you at all
Its not about who's right or whos wrong

CHORUS:
Babygirl take it one day at a time
You can't just grow up overnight
Babygirl I know you're feelin butterflies
But everything will be alright
Everything will be alright

Everybody seems to notice you
Cause you're not really tryin to hide a thing
Sometimes you're cool
Sometimes your mood swings
No baggy shirts to hide the change, no shame
Nobody to lie to, to pry with what's inside of you
And he say, she say
She's too grown
Poor thing, all on her own
But who cares what they say
Caus eno one can judge you at all
It's not who's right or who's wrong
Girl you're not alone

-CHORUS-

So when you're feelin like life's too cold
Don't lose faith, just move on
Hold on baby it's worth the flight
And everything's gonna be alright
So when you're feelin like life's too cold
Don't lose faith, just be strong
Hold on baby it's worth the flight
And everything's gonna be alright

-CHORUS x2-

La la la la la la la la la la la ooohh
La la la la la la la la la la

This song is dedicated to all the single parents
All you young girls strugglin, all on your own
You're courageous and you're beautiful
And this song is for you

You and I made mistakes
We've been in and out of arguments
And said some things we didnt mean to say (wait)
This time you're not the one to blame
Sometimes I get a little too afraid
I didnt mean to cause you any pain

So wait (wait)
Ahh wait darlin
Before you go and throw our love away
Can I get a minute to explain
Now wait (wait)
Ah think about it
Before you turn around and walk away
Baby how can I get you to stay now, wait

Now I've been caught with my heart on
Time and time again
Holdin on, why
Boy you know I'm
So alone I
I just need a friend
And you've been so
Good to me
I don't wanna miss a real good thing

Wait
Ahh wait darlin
Before you go and throw our love away
Can I get a minute to explain
So wait
Ah think about it
Before you turn around and walk away
Baby how can I get you to stay now, wait

You dont know what you do to me
Baby won't you sit and talk to me
No it doesn't have to be this way
Darlin I'm just wantin you to stay
You don't know what you do to me
Baby won't you sit and talk to me
No it doesn't have to be this way
Darlin I'm just wantin you to stay (stay)

So wait
Think about it everyday
Before you turn around and walk away
Baby how can I get you to stay now, wait
Now wait

Mmmmmm, ohh (wait)
Gotta wait
Gotta wait
Yeeeaahh, oooh
I'm just askin you to wait on me
Please wait
Oooh, please wait baby

Tryin to analyze every angle, situation
Tryin to find an explanation
Cause it's gettin aggrivating
Why my relationships never seem to work out
Beginnin' to worry and doubt
If I'm even able to detect he's the one
When this day you're wonderin
Why I havent seen the sun
Shine his light on my heart and help me ease the pain
Cause I'm gettin tired of the rain

Fallin on my heartbreak and I
Get my hopes up when I'm in love
Until we break up then I'm back to the
Same spot, I've been lonely, drownin
Cause every guy turns out to be the same
So now I'm questionin' is it me to blame

CHORUS:
Is It Me? am I so complicated?
Is It Me? or is love over-rated?
Is It Me? cause I dont quite understand
Why it never turns out how I thought I planned it
Is It Me? am I too independent?
Is It Me? not ready for commitment?
Is It Me? cause it doesnt seem to last
And it's the only question that I never asked

Maybe I'm longin' for it more than I should be expecting
All the standards that I'm settin
Unrealistically I'm gettin
Possibly in the way of what is left to have in store
Because I'm so confused and insecure
Cause when i know for certain everything is goin wrong
I permitted to prolong
Tried my best to hold on
My Mister Right's probably hangin round my window pane
While I look through only watchin the rain

Fallin on my heartbreak and I
Get my hopes up when I'm in love
Until we break up then I'm back to the
Same spot, I've been lonely, drownin
Cause every guy turns out to be the same
So now I'm questionin' is it me to blame

-CHORUS-

Never thought it could be that its me
Till i realized I`m the only
Common factor and played a big part
In lettin people break my heart
Never noticin' I was wasting time
Askin the same thing every time
Who were you with? and where were you at?
Until I took the time to turn and look back

Ooooh la la la
La la la la
La la la

-CHORUS x2-

La la la
La la la la la
La la la

Baby...
Its not the arguments
It aint the time we spent
I never worry bout who youre with or where you been
You take good care of me
I really should but please
I know you probably wont believe its not you, babe its me

I dont know why
I dont love you anymore
And though i try
Its just not like it was before
I wish that I
Had reason to be mad at you
Then maybe I would not feel bad for leavin you

(CHORUS)
You may not like what i have got to say
Baby i cant do this no other way
My feelings for you boy just aint the same
Make this easy please
Dont ask me to stay
Please dont say you love me
I know you do
Dont know why im not still in love with you
My feelings for you boy just aint the same
Make this easy please
Dont ask me to stay

Baby its life itself
You know how these things go
Maybe ive just grown out of you
Maybe we'll never know
I know sometimes ill miss you
This may just be my loss
Though it may not seem that way
Maybe we are better off

I dont know why
I dont love you anymore
And though i try
Its just not like it was before
I wish that I
Had reason to be mad at you
Then maybe I would not feel bad for leavin you

-CHORUS-

I dont wanna live a lie no more
How can I stay and not be sure
I wanna be with you
And I think you need to know the truth

-CHORUS x2-

Ohh stay, baby I cant stay
I dont know why

Hey what am I doin
Over here late at night on the sofa
Kissin and touchin
Whisperin in my ear, Got me breathin
Marvin Gaye in the background singin, it aint helpin
Now in this moment candles burnin oh, its so easy
Got me compromisin with my sexuality
And I know that you and I have got a real good thing
But when I pause, think it over
It aint right, gotta tell ya

CHORUS:
I cant give it up
Shoulda never started now we gotta stop (ooooh)
But one day imma put it on ya
So you better get ready for me
I cant give it up
We started a fire gotta blow it out (ooooh)
But one day imma put it on ya
So you better get ready for me

Boy what was I thinkin
When I move like that on your body
Bump and grindin
Cant stop now got you breathin
And you aint in the mood for teasin
Heaven help me
And when the moment candles burnin oh, its so easy
Got me compromisin with my sexuality
And I know that you and I have got a real good thing
But when I pause, think it over
It aint right, gotta tell ya

-CHORUS-

And you should know
This is really hard for me
Cause when im with you boy
I wanna give you everything
But theres much more
Than a night of ecstacy
I need commitment with a diamond
Then im yours to be your fantasy

I cant give it up
I will be your fantasy
Ooooh

-CHORUS x2-

A beautiful awakening has happened in my soul
A beautiful awakening that only I could know

Try to imagine a sound that you've never heard
A color that you've never seen
Try to describe
A taste youve not tasted
And maybe youll know what I mean

A beautiful awakening has happened in my soul
A beautiful awakening that only I could know

Can you imagine if you spent your whole life
With a heart beating out of time
Then one day your wild heart found its rhythm
Dont you think youd lose your mind

A beautiful awakening has happened in my soul
A beautiful awakening that only I could know

What if you woke up one day and your eyes could see
Ugly things as beautiful, ay
Would you believe it if you fell in love with a
Stranger would you be doubtful?

A beautiful awakening has happened in my soul
A beautiful awakening that only I could know

When I looked at you
My heart already knew
You had come to breathe life into my dormant soul
I was terrified
I'm not afraid anymore
Cause I know that you
Embrace my heart and I feel alive

Yeah yeah, ohh

A beautiful awakening has happened in my soul
A beautiful awakening that only I could know
A beautiful awakening has happened in my soul
And I know that you know
A beautiful awakening
