You used to soothe me
You used to swear with
Heart crossed conviction
That you'd be there
Where are you now
Well I'm good-one of a kind
But I would rather be two
And I still speak my mind
But I miss talking with you
And I could hem and haw
But I'll just cut right through
I don't need nothing baby
Nothing but you
Well, I lit a candle
It's burning still
Most every night on
My window sill
Where are you now
Well I'm good-one of a kind
But I would rather be two
And I still speak my mind
But I miss talking with you
And I could hem and haw
But I'll just cut right through
I don't need nothing baby
Nothing but you
Weren't we something back then
Thick as thieves
Who would have ever thought that
You and me
Would let forever come to
Used to be
Well I'm good-one of a kind
But I would rather be two
And I still speak my mind
But I miss talking with you
And I could hem and haw
But I'll just cut right through
I don't need nothing baby
Nothing but you

So many times love went south
Down into the valley of the shadow of doubt
My faith was failing, my hope was gone
I wandered in the wilderness all alone
You came to me like a revelation
In your arms I found salvation
One love
Took me to the mountaintop
Showed me a world I'd never seen
One love took me down to the riverside
Opened my heart and washed me clean
Nothin' less than a miracle
Sent from Heaven above
One love
I'm amazed by the wonder of you
The clouds all open, and the light comes through
All my life I had never guessed
That anyone could ever be so blessed
I feel brand new, I've been revived
All I want to do is testify
One love
Took me to the mountaintop
Showed me a world I'd never seen
One love took me down to the riverside
Opened my heart and washed me clean
Nothin' less than a miracle
Sent from Heaven above
One love
One love
Took me to the mountaintop
Showed me a world I'd never seen
One love took me down to the riverside
Opened my heart and washed me clean
Nothin' less than a miracle
Sent from Heaven above
One love

Every day here you come walkin'
I hold my tongue, I don't do much talkin'
You say you're happy and you're doin' fine
Well go on baby, I got plenty of time, 'cause
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
For a while I've been watching you steady
Ain't gonna move 'till you're good and ready
You show up and then you shy away
But I know pretty soon you'll be
walkin' this way, 'cause
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
Baby, don't you know, I don't care
Don't you know that I've been there
Well if somethin' in the air feels a little unkind
Don't worry darlin', it'll slip your mind
I know you think you'd never be mine
Well that's okay baby, I don't mind
That shy smile's sweet, that's a fact
Go ahead I don't mind the act
Here you come all dressed up for a date
Well, one more step and it'll be too late
Blue, blue ribbon in my hair
You're so sure I'll be standing there
I guess sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
I guess sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie

If you see dark skies in my green eyes
It's just that I can't find no cover
These ghosts that haunt me
They get me when they want me
And some days are better than others
I didn't sleep last night, I guess that's the price
You pay for a soul that's troubled
And curse or blessing I'm here confessing
Some days are better than others
I have these moments of weakness
But I've had a lifetime of strength
And I know I will defeat this
But that's not what my heart wants to think
And even tomorrow is tinged with sorrow
When one fool longs for another
This can't last forever, just like the weather
Some days are better than others
If you see dark skies in my sad eyes
It just means that I can't find no cover
These ghosts that haunt me
They take me when they want me
And some days are better than others
Some days are better than others

Did you ever want something so bad
That you could taste it
Did you ever want something
You knew you couldn't have
Well, I did
Did you ever know what it feels like
To get lost in a lover's kiss
Did you ever even want to go there
Well I did, I did
I took my chances
Laid my heart open wide
I felt the rush, I lost my head
I learned to laugh
Oh but then I learned to cry
I did
Did you ever lose your whole world
And still have no regrets
And did you ever tell yourself
You'd do it all again
Well I did, I did
I took my chances
Laid my heart open wide
I felt the rush, I lost my head
I learned to laugh
Oh but then I learned to cry
I did
Did you ever want something so bad
That you could taste it
I did, I did
. . .

Well I drove past your house last night
And I looked in your window
Lately I ain't been feelin' right
And I don't know the cure, no
Still I can't keep from wonderin'
If I still figure in your life
Could you take me back and try me again
Could you try me again
I drove around in this lonesome town
Felt just like a beginner
Friends I saw, they just brought me down
They're so cynical and bitter
Well, I guess I'm just like them now
I never thought I'd turn out like that
Could you take me back and try me again
Could you try me again
Well you say that I cheated
I was not what you needed
Well you're not being kind
When you say you tried
And you know you lied
My hands are tied
Oh, try me again
I'm gonna knock on your door
'Til you say you'll come back again
And love me some more
Oh, try me again
Could you try me again
Oh, try me again
. . .

Sittin' here thinkin' 'bout you and me
It's a cryin' shame 'cause it's plain to see
You made me love you so bad
You made me love you so bad
You made me love you so bad
Too bad you're no good
You smile like an angel, lie like a rug
You wouldn't change if you could
'cause it's in your blood
You made me love you so bad
You made me love you so bad
You made me love you so bad
Too bad you're no good
Midnight knockin', you're droppin' around
Trash talkin', and stalkin' me down
Better watch out when you play that game
I got a thirty-eight special on a forty-five frame
Call the preacher, call the police
With a man like you, it's famine or feast
You made me love you so bad
You made me love you so bad
You made me love you so bad
Too bad you're no good
Well, I talked to your mother
She knows I tried
I talked to your brother
He was on my side
But the hardest thing to comprehend
Is if I had it to do over
I'd do it again
Call the preacher, call the police
With a man like you, it's famine or feast
You made me love you so bad
You made me love you so bad
You made me love you so bad
Too bad you're no good
You made me love you so bad, bad, bad
Too bad you're no good

(written by Bobbie Cryner)
I don't buy the lines in magazines
That tell me what I've gotta be
Don't base my life on a movie screen
Don't fit the mold society has planned
I don't need to be 19-years-old
Or starve myself for some weight I'm told
Or turn men's heads down that road
And I thank God I finally know just who I am
I ain't a movie star
They never see the view from where they are
And this old town may be as far as I'm goin'
What he'll hold tonight in his hands
He swears is so much better than
Anything this old world can show him
I'm a real live woman
In love with this man I see lyin' here next to me
Lost in the way that he's holdin'
This real live woman
In the arms of a man where I'll fall asleep knowin' there's
Nothin' on earth he loves more than
This real live woman
I work 9-5 and I can't relate
To millionaires who somehow fate
Has smiled upon and fortune made their
Common lives a better place to be
And I no longer justify
Reasons for the way that I behave
I offer no apologies
For the things that I believe and say
And I like it that way
Cause I'm a real live woman
In love with this man I see lyin' here next to me
Lost in the way that he's holdin'
This real live woman
In the arms of a man where I'll fall asleep knowin' there's
Nothin' on earth he loves more than
This real live woman

Woke up this mornin', just another day
Got myself out of bed in the usual way
Threw back the curtains and the sun was
shinin'
Well it seems these days
I got such good timin'
Since I let you go
Well what do ya know
Guess I fooled everybody
Said I'd love you till the day that I die
Even if you didn't love me
Sorry baby, I guess I lied
You're gone and I'm still alive
Oh yea
I'm the kind of girl that never fails
To hang on to the past by my fingernails
And I can't help it even I'm amazed
At how much better they look
Painted in pink sorbet
What took me so long
To sing this song
Guess I fooled everybody
Said I'd love you till the day that I die
Even if you didn't love me
Sorry baby, I guess I lied
You're gone and I'm still alive
Oh yea
I said good-bye and I survived
I'm still alive
Since I let you go
Well what do ya know
Guess I fooled everybody
Said I'd love you till the day that I die
Even if you didn't love me
Sorry baby, I guess I lied
You're gone and I'm still alive
Oh yea
I'm still alive Oh yea
Well what do ya know
. . .

Struck by the moon, rising too soon
I feel a pain deep inside me
Cold nothern wind, a fist in my chin
Makin' me wild for you baby
What can I do to get back to you
I'm feelin' desperate and lonely
The city's a river of cold misery
Makin' me wild for you baby
I'm down on my knees
Hear me cry for you baby
Cold misery
I would die for you baby
I pray you will see
These tears I cry
Nights I can't sleep, my tears are cheap
I'm losin' hold of my senses
I can't contain all of this pain
And it's makin' me wild for you baby
I'm down on my knees
Hear me cry for you baby
Cold misery
I would die for you baby
I pray you will see
These tears I cry
Makin' me wild for you baby
Goin' wild for you baby
Hear me cry
Hear me cry
For you baby
. . .

Can't believe the way I let you use me
Can't believe all the wasted time
For a while baby you confused me
When you said I was your sunshine
But I'm just someone to call
When you need a place to fall
Come back when it ain't raining
Come back when your skies are blue
Come back when it ain't rainin' on you
It ain't rainin' on you
Tell me baby did you have a good time
Out there with your fair weather friends
You get blue when you're drinkin' red wine
Don't call me when the party ends
You think you've got it made
But you're just a sad parade
Come back when it ain't raining
Come back when your skies are blue
Come back when it ain't rainin' on you
It ain't rainin' on you
After the storm rolls by
I'm hanging my heart out to dry
Come back when it ain't raining
Come back when your skies are blue
Come back when it ain't rainin' on you
It ain't rainin' on you
. . .

I see you waiting in the shadows
Wonderin' where I've been
Dusty old piano, it's you and me again
My old friend
I'll just have to chance a few lines
Now that we're alone
All that happiness, those silly rhymes
They just don't seem at home now that he's gone
So make it sad, so sad
Like "Faded Love" or "Born To Lose"
Cause it's sad when a love song sings the blues
I see my reflection on the black keys
Where the tears fell from my eyes
I wanna play out every memory
Every last goodbye
Till the whole world cries
So make it sad, so sad
Like "Faded Love" or "Born To Lose"
Cause it's sad when a love song sings the blues
And I don't want to cry alone
Make it sad, so sad
Like "Faded Love" or "Born To Lose"
Cause it's sad when a love song sings the blues
And it's sad when a love song sings the blues
. . .
