Song Lyrics

Three Words | The Love of My Life | Sweet Passion | I Got The Right | As I Am | Paradise | Give It Away | Home |
Let Me Come Back Home | Why You Treat Me So Bad | Gone | Sunshine |

THREE WORDS

Round and round and round we go
We play the game and say that we're just friends
You're afraid to let your feelings show
And I'm afraid to give love a chance again

But when we say goodbye
You pull me close and hold me tight
If there's something you're not saying
It's time to let me know

So shout your love out loud for the world to hear
Three words can change our lives forever
We'll be together in just three words

Been holding back on how I feel
It's harder everyday no to cross that line
I've got to get my courage up
Don't want to lose you or waste more precious time

Can't play this masquerade
Or deny the truth one more day
I've got to admit that we're more than just friends

Chorus

"I Love You", the sweetest words I could ever hear, or ever say
They make the stars shine brighter, our hearts a little lighter
And make the sun shine today

Chorus


THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

I wasted so much time falling
In and out of love
Chasing the wrong kind of man,
I was feeling that I was never enough

But this time I'm wiser
I've learned the hard way
Now love lifts me higher
And never takes away from who I am
Cause I finally found the love of my life

Just when I thought my chances were over
He walked in
He stood by my side and lended a shoulder
Now I can breathe again

True love, I discovered
Is there through highs and lows
He's my friend and my lover
Now our life begins and we've settled down
Cause I finally found the love of my life


SWEET PASSION

You're tired of trying, you're busted and broke
The voice in your head says you're too old
It's too late, at your age you won't get far
But in your heart

You've got a sweet passion
A love in your soul
A dream waiting to unfold
A sweet passion
to be all you are
So reach for the brightest star
And find your sweet passion

Life is funny, didn't go as you planned
But try to remember, it's not in your hands
When you want to give up and give in
Just try again

CHORUS

Life is much more than the things you do
What you feel down in your soul is what feeds you

CHORUS


I GOT THE RIGHT

All my girlfriends say there ain't no perfect man
They say just settle down, and I should take what I can
But I won't, no no
I'm holding out for the best
I won't settle for less

It ain't that I'm so picky or just can't be pleased
But when I was a girl my mama said
Anything's in my reach
If I could only believe
Cause I got the right

I got the right to kissin and huggin
The right to good good loving
The right to not be lonely at night
I got the right like every woman
To find true love in
A man who'll stand by my side
I got the right

I know they think I'm crazy and set my sights too high
But I'll just keep on searching till I'm satisfied
Cause I know
He's worth waiting for
I want it all and more

CHORUS

There's a man out there
Looking everywhere
For this girl to make his dreams come true
He's got the right too

CHORUS


AS I AM

I've been scared, I've been broken
My worries became lines on my face
I've broken hearts and never said goodbye
Just turned and walked without explaining why

I've done my share of hurting and placing blame
Of lying, then feeling shame
The truth, so hard to face
So now it's time to make a change
I'll take me as I am

All my wrongs and all my heartaches
Have made me who I am today
The childhood tears, the grown-up fears
Were lessons learned along the way

So I can't keep on running and hiding from my shadow
The only one I'll ever know
Is here within my soul
So now it's time to make a change
I'll take me as I am

All the tears I cried
For my wrongs not made right
And opinions of myself
Made life a living hell
When I'm just doing the best I can

Now I'm ready to put the past behind me
To find the best inside me
Life is waiting for me
So now I'll make that change
And take me as I am


PARADISE

A mystery
Dangerous and carefree
The secrets of who you are
Are locked up in your heart

But when I look in your eyes
I see the love inside
I know there's so much more to you
Behind your eyes of blue

I want to know
That place deep in your soul

Let me walk with you in Paradise
There's birds of red and green
And plants and trees that reach up to the sky
In your Paradise

The sun and moon
I'd give them both to you
If you'd give our love a chance
And taste sweet romance

We can have the world and more
Just rest upon my shores
My kiss will be the ocean breeze
I am the love you need

Pre-Chorus
Chorus


GIVE IT AWAY

There I was again
Standing with my heart in my hands
Wondering what went wrong tonight

All the times that I tried
But never seemed to get love right
Just pick up and move on to the next in line

But now, I know
Can't play the game the way I've played before
To find true love in my heart

I've got to give it away
(Give love to get love)

Been searching for love
Looked everywhere outside myself
I thought someone else could fill my need

But now I find
Love was with me all along
Just needed to look inside of me

The more I give
It seems the more that I receive
I let go and now
I finally believe

I've got to give it away
(Give love to get love)

Love is all around me
And as close as the air I breathe<
I never knew I had it this good

I've got to give it away
(Give love to get love)


HOME

Ashtray full of cigarettes
The clock says three a.m.
Those four walls keep staring down
You're missing him again

You gave up living when he closed that door
You spend every night alone
Without him the roof, the hall, the furniture
Just don't feel like home

But home's where the heart is
Home's all around you
Home is everywhere you want it to be

Home's in the kitchen
The bath, the bedroom
It's everywhere and in your soul
So you can find the place called home

When loneliness moved in this place
Your tears washed the floor
And the person that you used to be
You don't know anymore

It's not too late for a second chance
Your life deserves to live
It's not what you take from the world outside
But what you give

CHORUS

Your coffee's cold
And you're growing old
But there's still a hope in your soul to find

CHORUS


LET ME COME BACK HOME
Terri Brinegar/Daniel Gilbert

I'VE HAD SOME BAD DAYS
THIS TAKES THE CAKE
I'VE BEEN LIVIN' THE HARD WAY
HE TOOK ALL HE COULD TAKE

HE KICKED ME OUT AT 3 A.M.
WHISKEY ON MY BREATH
I COULDN'T TELL HIM WHERE I'D BEEN
THOUGHT HE'D FORGIVE AND FORGET

WHAT I'D GIVE TO COME BACK HOME
I'D GIVE ALL I HAVE:
MY MAMA'S RING, MY COWBOY BOOTS, MY LAST $50
LET ME COME BACK HOME

I WOKE UP ON A DIRT ROAD
MY CAR BROKEN DOWN
RED-EYED AND HUNGOVER
TRIED TO HITCH TO TOWN

CHORUS

BEEN WALKIN' FOR HOURS IN THIS HEAT
SO HOT, THERE'S RED CLAY STUCK TO MY FEET
I'LL TELL HIM I'LL CHANGE MY WAYS
'CAUSE I'VE HAD A HELL OF A DAY

THE THIEF AT THE AUTO SHOP
SAID I COULDN'T AFFORD
PUT ALL I HAD IN HOCK
SO I COULD TO FIX MY FORD

WHAT I GAVE TO COME BACK HOME
I GAVE ALL I HAD:
MY MAMA'S RING, MY COWBOY BOOTS, MY LAST $50
NOW CAN I COME BACK HOME

PLEASE LET ME COME BACK HOME
LET ME COME BACK HOME


WHY YOU TREAT ME SO BAD

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU TREAT ME SO BAD
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU TREAT ME SO BAD
CAUSE I'M SO DOWN-HEARTED BABY
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL I DID WRONG
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU TREAT ME SO BAD

CAUSE THIS HEART OF MINE
CAN'T TAKE ALL OF THIS PAIN
WONDRIN' WHY YOU LEFT ME
THIS HEART OF MINE
CAN'T STAND SITTIN' HERE ALONE WHEN I CRY


GONE

Ten long years have come and gone
I don't know why I stayed this long
I thought you'd change
But things stayed the same

One more night home at half-past two
And who's that woman calling for you
At 3:05
I thought that I would die

I know you better than you know yourself
When you're happy I know by the look in your eye
But when you look at the floor, I know

You lied (I've had all I can take)
I tried (But still my poor heart breaks)
I cried (So sad, but I'm walking away)
All these tears won't save you now

I'm tough (I'm a woman proud and strong)
I've had enough (Of all the times you did me wrong)
Your love (Ain't enough to keep me hanging on)
I'm sick of your lies, so I'm GONE

Some things just can't be worked out
I can't forget what this is all about
At 3:13
I got up and packed my things

It's too late for apologies
And a thousand "I'm Sorry's" on your knees
'Cause your eyes say I can't trust you anymore

Pre-Chorus/Chorus

I'll spend some time crying
And watch sad movies on the TV
But then I'll remember...

Chorus


Sunshine

Let's get a little sunshine and be together
Put the top down, take a ride
Let's get a little sunshine, nothing better
Than having you by my side

The cold world's got you down
Too much steel and concrete
Let's get away, let's get out of town
Go where there's white sand and blue sea
And where there's just you and me

Chorus

Let's spend time just holding hands
Remembering how our love feels
We'll spend the day laying in the sand
Kissing for the sweet thrill
With you I'm so fulfilled

Chorus
