"Half the Story"
From the album "Don't Change"
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe you're right
Maybe it's just one of those nights
We fell apart
When we should have held together
Should have been warm
But I was cool
I should have known
Oh what a fool
Over for good
When we should have been forever
Just like a movie when you know
the chips are down
You've got to realize it turns
around
So just remember
Only half the story
Is over if you go
Only half the picture
There's half the film to show
Don't go
If there's a happy ending
Baby you should know
'Cause it's only half the story
if you go
Could have been right
Could have been true
Could have been good
Just seeing it through
We have a chance
If you'd only stop pretending
Look in my eyes
Look in your heart
Why can't we cut straihgt to the
part?
Won't you come back
And we'll make a happy ending
Just like a movie when the hero
rides away
You've got to realize he turns
around
So just remember
Only half the story
Is over if you go
Only half the picture
There's half the film to show
Don't go
If there's a happy ending
Baby you should know
'Cause it's only half the story
if you go

Garden
"Gunning Down Romance"
From the album "Affirmation"
Love and other moments are just
chemical reactions in your brain
In your brain
And feelings of aggression are
the absence of the love drug in your veins
In your veins
Love come quickly
Because I feel my self-esteem is
caving in
It's on the brink
Love come quickly
Because I don't think I can keep
this monster in
It's in my skin
Love and other socially acceptable
emotions are morphine
They're morphine
Cleverly concealing primal urges
often felt but rarely seen
Rarely seen
Love I beg you
Lift me up into that privileged
point of view
The world of two
Love don't leave me
Because I console myself that Hallmark
cards are true
I really do
I'm gunning down romance
It never did a thing for me
But heartache and misery
Ain't nothing but a tragedy
Love don't leave me
Take these broken wings
I'm going to take these broken
wings
And learn to fly
And learn to fly away
And learn to fly away
I'm gunning down romance
911
"The Journey"
From the album "The Journey"
Time waits for no one as sure as
the tide pulls the ocean
The path that's been chosen cannot
be changed
In my life's destination I searched
for the explaination
Some kind of reason for my sorrow
and pain
But in my isolation I learned to
listen
To be thankful for the love that
I'd been given
This is my journey, journey through
life
With every twist and turn I've
laughed and cried
As the road unwinds
This is my journey, and I've learned
to fight
To make me strong enough, to lift
me up, to bring my dreams alive
In my desperation I swore that never
again
Would I hear all the laughter of
my friends and my family
A million tears that I'd cried
then began to dry
In the silence of the night time
I had came to realize
A sweet inspiration filled my horizon
Gave me the heart to go on and
never would give in
This is my journey, journey through
life
With every twist and turn I've
laughed and cried
As the road unwinds
This is my journey, and I've learned
to fight
To make me strong enough, to lift
me up, to bring my dreams alive
I'm going to love each moment, of
every day and night
I'll look back to the past with
the sweetest smile
For now I realize, I've been given
the key to life
I've been kissed by the angel by
my side
This is my journey, journey through
life
With every twist and turn I've
laughed and cried
As the road unwinds
This is my journey, and I've learned
to fight
To make me strong enough, to lift
me up, to bring my dreams alive
To bring my dreams alive
To bring my dreams alive

"The Best Thing"
From the album "Affirmation"
Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean
to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me
Sometimes I feel like this is only
chemistry
Stuck in a maze searching for a
way to
Shut down run around feel the ground
beneath me
You're so close where do you end
where do I begin?
Always pushing and pulling
Sometimes sanity takes vacation
time on me
I'm in a daze stumbling bewildered
North of gravity head up in the
stratosphere
You and I roller coaster riding
love
You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand
Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean
to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me
Walk on broken glass make my way
through fire
These are the things I would do
for love
Farewell peace of mind kiss goodbye
to reason
Up is down the impossible occurs
each day
This intoxication thrills me
I only pray it doesn't kill me
Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean
to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me
You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand
You could be the best thing about
me
Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean
to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me
You could be the best thing about
me
What if you're the best thing about
me?

"Affirmation"
From the album "Affirmation"
I believe the sun should never set
upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness
in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes
so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the
best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines
promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely
by myself alone
I believe in Karma what you give
is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate
real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more
greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've
got until you say goodbye
I believe you can't control or choose
your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important
than monogamy
I believe your most attractive
features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth
more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial
freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree
are millionaires
I believe in Karma what you give
is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate
real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more
greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've
got until you say goodbye
I believe forgiveness is the key
to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates
the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse
TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death
into eternity
I believe in Karma what you give
is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate
real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more
greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've
got until you say goodbye
I believe in Karma what you give
is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate
real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more
greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've
got until you say goodbye
Oh no no no no no
Oh no no no no no
Oh no no no no no
Oh no no no no no

"#1 Crush"
B-side from the single "Vow"
I would die for you
I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you
by my side
To know that you're mine
I will cry for you
I will cry for you
I will wash away your pain with
all my tears
And drown your fear
I will pray for you
I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something
pure and true
Someone like you
See your face ever place that I
walk in
Hear your voice every time that
I'm talking
You will believe in me
And I will never be ignored
I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed
my aching heart
And tear it apart
I will lie for you
Beg and steal for you
I will crawl on hands and knees
until you see
You're just like me
Violate all the love that I'm missing
Throw away all the pain that I'm
living
You will believe in me
And I could never be ignored
I would die for you
I would kill for you
I would steal for you
I'd do time for you
I would wait for you
I'd make room for you
I'd sail ships for you
To be close to you
To be part of you
'Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you
Madonna
"Mer girl"
From the album "Ray of Light"
I ran from my house that cannot
contain me
From the man that I cannot keep
From my mother who haunts me, even
though she's gone
From my daughter that never sleeps
I ran from the noise and the silence
From the traffic on the streets
I ran to the treetops, I ran to
the sky
Out to the lake, into the rain
that matted my hair
And soaked my shoes and skin
Hid my tears, hid my fears
I ran to the forest, I ran to the
trees
I ran and I ran, I was looking
for me
I ran past the churches and the
crooked old mailbox
Past the apple orchards and the
lady that never talks
Up into the hills, I ran to the
cemetery
And held my breath, and thought
about your death
I ran to the lake, up into the hills
I ran and I ran, I'm looking there
still
And I saw the crumbling tombstones
All forgotten names
I tasted the rain, I tasted my tears
I cursed the angels, I tasted my
fears
And the ground gave way beneath
my feet
And the earth took me in her arms
Leaves covered my face
Ants marched across my back
Black sky opened up, blinding me
I ran to the forest, I ran to the
trees
I ran and I ran, I was looking
for me
I ran to the lakes and up to the
hill
I ran and I ran, I'm looking there
still
And I smelled her burning flesh
Her rotting bones
Her decay
I ran and I ran
I'm still running away
Garbage
"As Heaven Is Wide"
From the album "Garbage"
Nothing that you say will release
you
Nothing that you pray would forgive
you
Nothing's what your words mean
to me
Something that you did will destroy
you
Something that you said will stay
with me
Long after you're dead and gone
If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones
And run away from here
As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly
If holy is as holy does
This house will burn straight down
to hell
Take it's conscience with it as
it falls
Nothing said could change the fact
My trust was blind, you broke the
pact
If God's my witness, God must be
blind
If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones
And run away from here
As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly
I wish
Take it back, I dare you, take it
back
No you can't, you should have thought
of that
What's inside a man that goes so
wrong?
Choke on guilt that's far too good
for you
Say one word I'll laugh and bury
you
And leave you in the place where
you left me
If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones
And run away from here
As far from God
As heaven is wide
As far from God
As angels can fly
I wish I could fly
Garbage
"A Stroke of Luck"
From the album "Garbage"
Hanging by threads of palest silver
I could have stayed that way forever
Bad blood and ghosts wrapped tight
around me
Nothing could ever seem to touch
me
I lose what I love most
Did you know I was lost until you
found me?
A stroke of luck or gift from God?
The hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You came to me
Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
It's falling down and all around
me, falling
You say that you'll be there to
catch me
Or will you only try to trap me?
These are the rules I make
Our chains were meant to break
You'll never change me
Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
You're falling down and all around
me falling
Stroke of luck or gift from God?
Hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You come to me now
Don't ask me why
Don't even try
A stroke of luck or gift from God?
The hand of fate or devil's claws?
From below or saints above?
You came to me
Here comes the cold again
I feel it closing in
It's falling down and all around
me, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling

"Break Me Shake Me"
From the album "Savage Garden"
I never thought I’d change my opinion
again
But you moved me in a way that
I’ve never known
You moved me in a way that I’ve
never known
But straight away you just moved
into position again
You abused me in a way that I’ve
never known
You abused me in a way that I’ve
never known
So break me shake me hate me take
me over
When the madness stops then you
will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me

When the madness stops then you
will be alone
So you’re the kind that deals with
the games in the mind
Well you confuse me in a way that

You confuse me in a way that I’ve
never known
So break me shake me hate me take
me over
When the madness stops then you
will be alone
So won’t you break me shake me

She says I can help you, but what
do you say?
Because it's not free baby, you’ll
have to pay
You just keep me contemplating
That your soul is slowly fading
Yeah
Now don’t you know I live with a
ton of regret?
'Cause I used to move you in a
way that you’ve never known
But then I accused you in a way
that you’ve never known
But you hurt me in a way that I’ve
never known
Break me shake me hate me take me
over
When the madness stops then you
will be alone
So won’t you break me shake me
hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you
will be alone
Listen baby, you’ll be, you’ll be
alone
Break me shake me hate me take

When the madness stops then you
will be alone

"Dog New Tricks"
From the album "Garbage"
I wish I had not woke up today
Everyone mistakes the things you
say
Take the simple truth and
Twist it all around
Make it sound important
Make it seem profound
Dog new tricks
Nothing you learn will stick
Dog new tricks
You make me feel so worthless
Everyone I know has gone away
Died or left or just forgot to
stay
Sometimes took for granted
Sometimes turned away
Sometimes didn't say what I meant
to say
Dog new tricks
Nothing you learn will stick
Dog new tricks
You make me feel so worthless
Nothing you learn
I never would have pegged you
For what you have become
Everyone lies
Everyone cheats
Not like you've done
Dog new tricks
Nothing you learn will stick
Dog new tricks
You make me feel so worthless
Nothing you learn
Nothing you learn
Nothing you learn
Garbage
"Fix Me Now"
From the album "Garbage"
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Bury me above the clouds
All the way from here
Take away the things I need
Take away my fear
Hide me in a hollow sound
Happy evermore
Everything I had to give
Gave out long before
Fix me now
I wish you would
Bring me back to life
Kiss me blind
Somebody should
From hollow into light
Crashing silent, broken down
Fallen into night
Who gave up and who gave in?
I'll go without a fight
Cut me down or cut me dead
Cut me in or out
Kiss me blind time after time
Take away my doubt
Fix me now
I wish you would
Bring me back to life
Kiss me blind
Somebody should
From hollow into light
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Nowhere only down from here
Pick me off the floor
Take away the things I dream
One time one place one more
Fix me now
I wish you would
Bring me back to life
Kiss me blind
Somebody should
From hollow into light
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Madonna
"Secret"
From the album "Bedtime Stories"
Things haven't been the same
Since you came into my life
You found a way to touch my soul
And I'm never, ever, ever gonna
let it go
Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with
me
Mmm mmm
Something's coming over, mmm mmm
Something's coming over, mmm mmm
Something's coming over me
My baby's got a secret
You gave me back the paradise
That I thought I lost for good
You helped me find the reasons
why
It took me by surprise that you
understood
You knew all along
What I never wanted to say
Until I learn to love myself
I am never ever loving anybody
else
Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with
me
Mmm mmm
Something's coming over, mmm mmm
Something's coming over, mmm mmm
Something's coming over me
My baby's got a secret
Mmm mmm
Something's coming over, mmm mmm
Something's coming over, mmm mmm
Something's coming over me
My baby's got a secret
Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with
me
Mmm mmm
Something's coming over, mmm mmm
Something's coming over, mmm mmm
Something's coming over me
My baby's got a secret
Mmm mmm
Something's coming over, mmm mmm
Something's coming over, mmm mmm
Something's coming over me
My baby's got a secret
Mmm mmm, my baby's got a secret
Mmm mmm, my baby's got a secret
Mmm mmm, my baby's got a secret
for me
Mmm mmm, mmm mmm, mmm mmm
Garbage
"My Lover's Box"
From the album "Garbage"
My lover's charms
Are in a box
Beneath my bed
And piece by piece
I'll cherish them
Until the end
Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of
heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven
They burn my hand
And scar my face
And blind my eyes
I'll steal your breath
And throw away
What I despise
Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of
heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven
Between these walls
And darkened halls
I've done my time
If I should die
Before I wake
Then you'll know why
Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of
heaven
Send me an angel to love
I'm afraid I'll never get to heaven
Piece by piece
Send me an angel

Midler
"The Rose"
From "The Rose" OST
Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some sa love it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
And you its only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live
When the night has been to lonely
And the road has been to long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the stong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's
love
In the spring becomes the rose
Garbage
"Queer"
From the album "Garbage"
Hey boy, take a look at me
Let me dirty up your mind
I'll strip away your hard veneer
And see what I can find
The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
The lamest of the lame
The numbest of the dumb
I hate to see you here
You choke behind a smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
This is what he pays me for
I'll show you how it's done
You learn to love the pain you
feel
Like father like son
The queerest of the queer
Hide inside your head
The blindest of the blind
The deadest of the dead
You're hungry 'cause you starve
While holding back the tears
Choking on your smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
I know what's good for you
You can touch me if you want
I know you're dying to
The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
The lamest of the lame
The numbest of the dumb
I hate to see you here
You choke behind a smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
You're nothing special here
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
I know what's good for you
I know you're dying to
I know what's good for you
I bet you're dying to
You can touch me if you want
You can touch me if you want
You can touch me
You can touch me
You can touch me
But you can't stop
Garbage
"Stupid Girl"
From the album "Garbage"
You pretend you're high
You pretend you're bored
You pretend you're anything
Just to be adored
And what you need
Is what you get
Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in faith
Don't believe in anything
That you can't break
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
All you had you wasted
All you had you wasted
What drives you on
Can drive you mad
A million lies to sell yourself
Is all you ever had
Don't believe in love
Don't believe in hate
Don't believe in anything
That you can't waste
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Can't believe you fake it
Can't believe you fake it
Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in pain
Don't believe in anyone
That you can't tame
You stupid girl

All you had you wasted
All you had you wasted
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Can't believe you fake it
Can't believe you fake it
You stupid girl

"You Can Still Be Free"
From the album "Affirmation"
Cool breeze and autumn leaves
Slow motion daylight
A lone pair of watchful eyes
Oversee the living
Feel the presence all around
A tortured soul
A wound unhealing
No regrets or promises
The past is gone
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
Time now to spread your wings
To take to flight
The life endeavor
Aim for the burning sun
You're trapped inside
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
But it's a long long way to go
Keep moving way up high
You see the light
It shines forever
Sail through the crimson skies
The purest light
The light that sets you free
If time will set you free
Sail through the wind and rain tonight
You're free to fly tonight
And you can still be free
If time will set you free
And going higher than mountain
tops
And go high the wind won't stop
And go high
Free to fly tonight
Free to fly tonight

"Dumb"
From the album "Version 2.0"
We can't hear you there's static
come back
On the town floor
Come back
We can hear you a little bit
Alright
I never claimed to be your saviour
I said I had a dirty mouth
Stop analyzing my behaviour
If you're too dumb to work it out
I've got to keep myself together
You know I hate to disappoint
A masochistic lamb to slaughter
Maybe you missed the point?
I'm feeling small
I'm climbing the walls
I don't let it show
Now that you know what you know
I bet you wish to let it go
You'll never come sucking your
thumb
Better off dumb
We can't hear you there's static come back
Or maybe I could write a letter
To help me with my self esteem
You should get to know me better
No one's ever what they seem
I'm feeling small
Climbing the walls
I don't let it show
Now that you know what you know
I bet you wish to let it go
You'll never come sucking your
thumb
Better off dumb
You still don't know what you think
of me
You still don't know what you need
from me
You still don't know what to think
of me
You still don't know what you think
of me
Now that you know what you know
I bet you wish to let it go
You'll never come sucking your
thumb
Better off dumb
Now that you know what you know
You're gonna reap what you sow
Nothing will come sucking your
thumb
Better off dumb
You still don't know what you think
of me
You still don't know what you need
from me
You still don't know what to think
of me
You still don't know what you see
in me
Still don't know what you think
you mean
You still don't know what you think

You still don't know what you need
from me
You still don't know what I think
you need
You still don't know what you think
of me
TLC
"I Miss You So Much"
From the album "FanMail"
I never asked for this feeling,
I never thought I would fall
I never knew how I felt till the
day you were gone
I was lost, I never asked for red
roses
I wasn't looking for love
Somehow I let my emotions take
hold
And guess what, all at once I'm
in love
Oh I miss you so much, I long for
your love
It scares me 'cause my heart gets
so weak
That I can't even breathe
How can you take things so easily?
Baby, why aren't you missing me?
Why did I act like you mattered?
It was silly of me to believe
That if I just opened my heart
Things would come naturally
Joke's on me, yeah
I did not ask for love letters
So why did you give them to me?
How could I let your intentions
get over me
So in love, so naive, oh baby
And oh how I hate what you have
done
Made me fall so deep in love
God knows you're the only one I
want,
that I love, oh baby
Oh I miss you so much, year, I long
for your love
I scares me 'cause my heart gets
so weak
That I can't even breathe
How can you take things so easily?
Baby, why aren't you missing me?
Baby, why aren't you missing me?
Oh
Baby, why aren't you missing me?

"Medication"
From the album "Version 2.0"
I don't need an education
I learned all I need from you
They got me on some medication
My point of balance was askew
It keeps my temperature from rising
My blood is pumping through my
veins
Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
Nobody gives a damn about me
Or anybody else
I wear myself out in the morning
You're asleep when I get home
Please don't call me self-defending
You know it cuts me to the bone
And it's really not surprising
I hold a force I can't contain
Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
Nobody gives a damn about me
Or anybody else
And still you call me codependent
Somehow you lay the blame on me
And still you call me codependent
Somehow you lay the blame on me
Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
I've got to make a point these
days
To extricate myself
Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
Nobody gives a damn about me
Or anybody else
And still you call me codependent
Somehow you lay the blame on me
And still you call me codependent
Somehow you lay the blame on me
Somehow you lay the blame on me
Somehow you lay the blame on me

"Hold Me"
From the album "Affirmation"
Hey
If we can't find a way out of these
problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defenses
And secret hiding places
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first
stand
Because tonight I'm finding it
hard to be your man
Hey
More than angry words I hate this
silence
It's getting so loud
Well I want to scream
But bitterness has silenced these
emotions
It's getting hard to breathe
So tell me isn't happiness
Worth more than a gold diamond
ring?
I'm willing to do anything
To calm the storm in my heart
I've never been the praying kind
But lately I've been down upon
my knees
Not looking for a miracle
Just a reason to believe
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first
stand
Because tonight I'm finding it
hard to be your man
Do you remember not long ago?
When we used to live for the nighttime
Cherish each moment
Now we don't live we exist
We just run through our lives
So alone
That's why you've got to hold me
Hey
If we can't find a way out of these
problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defenses
And secret hiding places
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first
stand
Because tonight I'm finding it
hard to be your man
Hold me tonight
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say it's alright

"Special"
From the album "Version 2.0"
I'm living without you
But I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town
I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't
do
To keep myself around and close
to you
Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less
I
I
Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
I used to amuse you
But I knew that I'd lose you
Now you're here and begging for
a chance
but there's no way in hell I'd
take you back
Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less
I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new
You were the talk of the town
You were the talk of the town
You were the talk of the town
You were the talk of the town
I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special

Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa (oww)
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
And I believe it don't affect
Nobody else but me
Ya'll been telling me what to do
Since I was old enough to walk
Old enough to talk
Never let me speak or move
Do my own thing
But now I'm growing wiser now
Brighter now
A little bit tighter now
Now ya'll can't hold me down
I know you hate to hear it
But things have changed in
My life
It's kinda wild but
Me and my style stuck
Now everybody and their
Momma try to do it
My life
I've done that been through that
So there ain't nothin
That you can tell me
My life
On a good night if I feel like
Me and the girls hit the club and
until
It's my life
It's my life
And I believe it don't effect
Nobody else but me me me me
I'm getting sick and tired of folks
Who wanna come around
Claim they gonna get down
But all they wanna do is
See me make a wrong move, yeah
I don't care what you hear in the
news
To see whom I choose to do the
late night creep with
I'm gonna do just what I wanna
do
It's my life
My life
It's kinda wild but
Me and my style stuck
Now everybody and their
Momma try to do it
My life
I've done that been through that
So there ain't nothin

And I believe it don't affect nobody
else but me
Sometimes I might get a little crazy
And sometimes I might seem
Out of hand but I'm saying
Life's too short for me to let
you dictate
What I say and the moves I make
I'm sick of people trying to tell
me what to do
It's my life and I'm gonna live
it like I want to
Check it
Another day another dollar
Is the reality of my mentality
Otherwise don't even bother
You see my father was a wise old
man
Always creating the plan
For me to conquer this land
He said I am what I am
So be the best that I can
And if them others don't like it
Then why should I give a damn?
Maybe so cause when his life wasn't
right
My mother picked up them pieces
Continued on with to fight
So now it's plain to me
It ain't no game to me
See mom and dad corrected math
1 and 1 equal 3
4 and 5 I count my sister and brother
Stay alive 'til we die
And don't you ever be worried
'Cause I'm down with a ride
Through cliffs and valleys to Cresent
Hills
Tumble down I'll set a new ground
for Jack and Jill
Ever wonder what put the thunder
deeply in my eyes
Take a look and you'll find a sunshine
My life my life my life

"The Trick Is To Keep Breathing"
From the album "Version 2.0"
She's not the kind of girl
Who likes to tell the world
About the way she feels about herself
She takes a little time
In making up her mind
She doesn't want to fight against
the tide
Lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone
Always the one who has to drag
her down
Maybe you'll get what you want
this time around?
Can't bear to face the truth
So sick he cannot move
And when it hurts he takes it out
on you
Lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone
Always the one who has to drag
her down
Maybe you'll get what you want
this time around?
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
She knows the human heart
And how to read the stars
Now everything's about to fall
apart
I won't be the one who's going to
let you down
Maybe you'll get what you want
this time around?
The trick is to keep breathing
I won't be the one who's going
to let you down
The trick is to keep breathing
Maybe you'll get what you want
this time around?
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing

"So Help Me Girl"
From the album "Open Road"
You could have kissed me
Like this wasn't gonna last
Kept me from saying
Something I'll never take back
You could've held me
Like there was no chance
Of me waking up where I am
You could have stopped short of
Every dream I've ever had
So help me girl you've gone too
far
It's way too late to save my heart
The way it feels each time we touch
I know I've never been so loved
And I can't help myself
So help me girl
You've got to help me girl
You had to be there when that old
sun came up
Making last night feel like a vision
of things yet to come
You just had to hold me like nobody
else
Now look what you've gone and done
You had to love me
'Til I just can't get enough, please,
please
So help me girl you've gone too
far
It's way too late to save my heart
The way it feels each time we touch
I know I've never been so loved
And I can't help myself
So help me girl
The way it feels each time we touch
I know I've never been so loved
And I can't help myself
I can't help myself, I can't help
myself so help me girl
You've got to help me girl
'Cause I'm falling down
I'm falling down
You got to help me this time
'Cause I'm falling down
Falling down
You got to see my love
You've got to help me now
You've got me falling down
It's the emptiness I'm feeling
inside
You've to save me girl

"You Look So Fine"
From the album "Version 2.0"
You look so fine
I want to break your heart
And give you mine
You're taking me over
It's so insane
You've got me tethered and chained
I hear your name
And I'm falling over
I'm not like all the other girls
I can't take it like the other
girls
I won't share it like the other
girls
That you used to know
You look so fine
Knocked down
Cried out
Been down just to find out
I'm through
Bleeding for you
I'm open wide
I want to take you home
We'll waste some time
You're the only one for me
You look so fine
I'm like the desert tonight
Leave her behind
If you want to show me
I'm not like all the other girls
I won't take it like the other
girls
I won't fake it like the other
girls
That you used to know
You're taking me over
Over and over
I'm falling over
Over and over
You're taking me over
Drown in me one more time
Hide inside me tonight
Do what you want to do
Just pretend happy end
Let me know let it show
Ending with letting go
Ending with letting go
Ending with letting go
Let's pretend, happy end
Let's pretend, happy end
Let's pretend, happy end
Let's pretend, happy end

"Promises"
From the album "Savage Garden"
Well don't you know I need a little
indulgence?
Listen to the hunter becoming hunted
Every day there's a million advances
Don't be too forceful, you'll ruin
your chances
Well don't you know that time is
a broken glass
That splinters against the wall?
But the picture is coming back
now baby
And I want to take it all
Don't go making all these promises
you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and
a time to be the thief
'Cause if you're making all these
promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief
and your fallen king will end up alone
So let you're body move a little
bit closer
Silent like the sound proceeding
a cyclone
Don't you know that powerful thinking
Can be a force you don't want to
relinquish?
Well don't you know that
They say that hanging on will justify
the wait?
But patience and elated wisdom
don't share a common phrase
Don't go making all these promises
you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and
a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're making all these
promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief
and your fallen king will end up alone
Well, I'm only hanging on for what
goes down
I'm floating high and my feet don't
touch the ground
I'd take advantage but I can't
see through this charade
So don't you, don't go make it
harder than hell
'Cause when it comes down to the
making
You better be damned sure you can
take it
Hey baby
Don't go making promises
Don't go making promises
Well don't go making all these promises
you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and
a time to be a thief
'Cause if your making all these
promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief
and your fallen king will end up alone
Time will be the thief and your
fallen king will end up
A fool, a fool, a lonely sorry
fool
Oh, baby, 'cause I told you baby
