finding ways to bring me back to you
fix the pieces so we can see this through
funny how we met- me and you
c’mon baby why you makin’ me so blue
you’re keepin’ quiet, gettin’ me confused
fact of the matter is i don’t want no one but you
(i ain’t takin no, for answers)
if only you could see how hard it is
to keep it all inside
i swear you’d probably cry
if you knew the truth behind the words
cruelty was my mistake
i swear you’d probably drown in confusion
darlin can’t you see
darlin can’t you see
still finding ways to bring me back to you
just fix the pieces so we can see this through
so funny how we met- me and you
c’mon baby why you still makin’ me so blue
you’re still keepin’ quiet, gettin’ me confused
fact of the matter is I don’t want no one but you
(i ain’t takin no, for answers)
if only you could see how hard it is
to keep it all inside
i swear you’d probably cry
if you knew the truth behind the words
cruelty was my mistake
i swear you’d probably drown in confusion
darlin can’t you see
darlin can’t you see
that I am wanting you
like you are wanting me
just stop pretending
that you don’t know
a thing about the way I feel
darling can’t you see

I want you to hold me in your arms
I want you to tell me that it’s been me right from the start
‘cuz every time you walk by
and i look into those big brown eyes
it’s hard to think straight
it’s hard too hard to think that
you- somebody oh so new
is somebody i can’t refuse
you’ve mystery written all over you
you give me feelings i can’t defuse
you make me so afraid to lose
I want you to want me the way I want you babe
I want you to tell me that it’s been me right from the start
‘cuz every time you walk by
and i look into those big brown eyes
it’s hard to think straight
it’s hard too hard to think that
you- somebody oh so new
is somebody i can’t refuse
you’ve mystery written all over you
you give me feelings i can’t defuse
you make me so afraid to lose
you x 2
boy you one of a kind
25/7 on my mind
and you’ve got no idea what you’re doing to me
no, no, no
you- somebody oh so new
is somebody i can’t refuse
you’ve mystery written all over you
you give me feelings i can’t defuse
you make me so afraid to lose

How Long

how long
till our bodies touch
how long
till it gets too much
come summer i’d have been longing for too long
I just wanna be with you
I know that that in time it will get easier
but now is when i need you here
how long
till we get to paradise
how long
this distance will be my demise
come summer i’d have been longing for too long
I just wanna be with you
I know that that in time it will get easier
but now is when i need you here
nights are no longer the darkest
is when i think of you
i long for you
how long
till our bodies touch
how long
till it gets too much

starlight
closing in on me
this wild night
no wind in my hair
this frantic peace
curiosity killed the cat
oh the beat of my heart
with yours
fixing my gaze on what comforts me
my thoughts form a crowd in my head
and you don’t understand the power that you have
and i, i can’t help myself cuz you take me as i am
starlight

and you don’t understand the power that you have

Right Here Right Now
04:30

when I fall
I fall into your gaze
a gaze that gives me a taste of love
so sweet i want it everyday
when I sing
I only sing of love
cuz that’s just all I feel for you
my dear my love will never fade
I won’t go away I’ll be right here
hang on tight, it’s gonna be a ride my dear
I don’t mind spending all my time
fighting the brainless of fights
as long as I’m spending it all with you
I don’t care for the things they share
mindless accusations
far from the truth about me & you
I just wanna be close to you
when I’m weak
my head automatically falls
I fall onto a shield of love
my dear I fall right into you
I’ll be right here my love will never fade
our love will stand tall no matter what they say
I don’t want to be way up there
posing vanity fair
if I’m not living it up with you

Broken Pieces
04:45
|
|||
|
I lost a part of myself
I was torn apart
searching for the answers
with no clue where to start
finding all the pieces
feeling numb from the darts
I was like a target to be risked
to fill your heart
nothing hurts more than knowing
this irreversible truth
is hurting me and you
banking my hopes in thinking
that everything’s gonna be okay
and you’re here to stay it’ll all be good someday
I wish i didn’t feel like i was never good enough
that there was something i could do to make you feel like you were loved
so you wouldn’t have to search for love that you feel you deserved
now I just stand here with the broken pieces
now I just stand here with the broken pieces

Just A Little Bit
Just A Little Bit
Just A Little More
(baby can you give me)
Just A Little Bit
Just A Little Bit
Just A Little More
Want you to love me for who I am
Not what I would do for you
I’m no safer option
I’m no point to prove
You say I’ve got no faith
Like there’s no way you’d fall out of love with me
But baby I’m not blind don’t even try
Cuz I swear it won’t work this time
Just A Little Bit
Just A Little Bit
Just A Little More
(baby can you give me)
Just A Little Bit
Just A Little Bit
Just A Little More
Want you to see me for who I am
Not what you can groom me into
I’m no trophy girl
I’m someone you should hold on to
You say I’ve got no faith
Like there’s no way you’d fall out of love with me
But baby I’m not blind don’t even try
Cuz I swear it won’t work this time
Just A Little Bit
Just A Little Bit
Just A Little More
(baby can you give me)
Just A Little Bit
Just A Little Bit
Just A Little More
Love me the way you love the way I love you that’s all I’m asking babe
Just love me the only way that I know how to love you
I love you
Just a little bit x 2
Just A Little Bit
Just A Little Bit
Just A Little More
(baby can you give me)

Shore
03:08
|
|||
|
can you love someone you’ve never met before
like the way the ocean never fails to kiss the shore
I’m in love with you and of that I am sure
I’m at battle with the butterflies that come with being yours
forgive me if I’m coming on too strong
these feelings don’t usually last this long
but you keep me coming back for more
like the ocean never fails to kiss the shore
I’m in love with someone I’ve never met before
pretty green eyes through pixels I have finally found the cure
I’m in love with you and of that I am sure
I’m at battle with the butterflies that come with being yours
forgive me if I’m coming on too strong
these feelings don’t usually last this long
but you keep me coming back for more
like the ocean never fails to kiss the shore
I must confess
that I never intended to
fall for you but I’m
helplessly falling and
I must confess
that I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
forgive me if I’m coming on too strong
these feelings don’t usually last this long
but you keep me coming back for more
like the ocean never fails to kiss the shore

Lonesome Lover
04:46
|
|||
|
if I told you I loved you would you mind
cuz if I don’t the pain would be blinding
they say seek and ye shall find
or you’ll be a lonesome lover
to this there’s wrong or right
but it happens all the time
i fall in love so easy, then suddenly it seems
i’m a lonesome lover
I never meant to hurt nobody
I never wanted you to change
I just wanna say i’m sorry
don’t wanna be lonesome lover
but i never thought it would end this way
i go out on a couple of dates
but it seems my love just fades
could it be that i’m just picky
and i’ll forever be a lonesome lover
I never meant to hurt nobody
I never wanted you to change
I just wanna say i’m sorry
don’t wanna be lonesome lover
but i never thought it would end this way
this way that i’m living
isn’t right at all
this way that i’m hurting
watching people fall
why can’t i seem to just fall in love

What Is Love
04:09
|
|||
|
what is love
people grow apart anyway
what is love
when you don’t say the things you wanna say
what is love to you
what is love
when you live with none to anticipate
what is love
if you get by with lies that time creates
what is love to you
love to me is when it doesn’t matter
what or how you do it and you just care
about the here and now till then
love to me is joy and pain in one
a gamble a jumble a grave big mess
that i’ve come to learn to feel and to accept
do I really have to accept this mess?
tell me tell me
what is love
when all you have is hurt that duplicates
what is love
when you feel like you’ve got nothing more to give
love to me is when it doesn’t matter
what or how you do it and you just care
about the here and now till then
love to me is joy and pain in one
a gamble a jumble a grave big mess
that i’ve come to learn to feel and to accept
do I really have to accept this mess?
tell me tell me
but love to you is convenience
anything you’ll get
to mask the pain you feel
though you loved him once so true
but you are everything,
the world to me.
I’ve known love since February
1995 when you held me
i guess I will learn to accept this mess
