"The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You"

"The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You"


I don't look good in no Armani suits
No Gucci shoes or designer boots
I've tried the latest lines from A to Z
But there's just one thing that looks good on me

The only thing I want
The only thing I need
The only thing I choose
The only thing that looks good on me is you

I'm not satisfied with Versace style
Put those patent leather pants in the circular file
Sometimes I think I might be looking good
But there's only one thing that fits me like it should

The only thing I want
The only thing I need
The only thing I choose
The only thing that looks good on me is you

Ya it's you, it could only be you
Nobody else will ever do
Ya baby, it's you that I stick to
Ya, we stick like glue

The only thing I want
The only thing I need
The only thing I choose
The only thing that looks good on me is you

"The Things We Do"

"The Things We Do"


We wash our clothes,
We press our shirts,
We brush our teeth,
And we go to work.
We fill our tanks,
And we wax our cars,
We edge our driveways,
And mow our yards.

Theres the things that we do,
(theres the things that we do)
Yea, all the things that we do,
(all the things that we do)
Theres the things that we do
(theres the things that we do)
And then theres... the things we wanna do

I wanna kiss some guy that I dont know,
Buy a one way ticket down to Mexico,
Parasail and learn to fly,
And skinny dip in paradise.

But I tie my shoes,
And I exercise,
And I sit up straight,
And I stand in line.
And I paint my walls,
And I fill my cracks,
And every April fools,
I figure out my tax.

Theres the things that we do,
(theres the things that we do)
Yea, all the things that we do,
(all the things that we do)
Theres the things that we do
(theres the things that we do)
And then theres... the things we wanna do

I wanna throw my food in a resteraunt,
Take two weeks off any time I want,
Climb everest and see the world,
Ride a big black Harley like a gypsy girl.

But I pour my milk,
And I eat my flakes,
And every once a year,
I get to cut my cake.
And I want my watch,
And I pay my rent,
And sometimes I wonder,
Where my life went.

Theres the things that we do,
(theres the things that we do)
Yea, all the things that we do,
(all the things that we do)
Theres the things that we do
(theres the things that we do)
And then theres... the things we wanna do

I wanna take the conquord to Paris, France,
Learn gourmet cookin' and how to dance,
Win the lottery and give it all away,
Those homeless need some place to stay.

Theres the things that we do,
(theres the things that we do)
Yea, all the things that we do,
(all the things that we do)
Theres the things that we do
(theres the things that we do)
And then theres... the things we wanna... Do

"The Wedding"

"The Wedding"


Hers on one side, his on the other
One Saturday in June
The organ drones and her cousin's singin'
Just a little bit out of tune
Her ex is here and his is too
Something old and borrowed but it's nothing new
It sure came up all of the sudden
Bobby and Judy's weddin'

Dean and Ginny?... They still ain't speakin'
She's gonna make him do without
There's no denyin' that Carla's cryin'
But what's she cryin' all about?
It's all one great big act of contrition
Hugs and kisses with fresh ammunition
So we all retreat with the preacher's blessin'
Bobby and Judy's weddin'

So ring them bells, toss that rice
Have yourselves a real nife lice
Say those words, recite those vows
Don't we all feel better now?

Cold beer fountain, cheddar cheese mountain
Pig-in-a-blanket on the bar
Tim and Eddie got the band back together
They still can't play their guitars
In-laws, outlaws all pull together
To hot-wire, jump-start two hearts forever
Will they make it? ... Nobody's guessin'
Bobby and Judy's weddin'

Dance your dance, eat your cake
Toss your sister your bouquet
Say goodbye, drive away
Tomorrow is another day
All the boys got lost in the whiskey
Daddy fell asleep in his tux
Dean and Ginny actin' kinda frisky
Thinkin' about makin' up
Mamma and the womenfolk back in the kitchen
They're all laughin', Carla's still bitchin'
As for me I'm glad I saw it all... even the parts that I can't recall
It sure was great to be with you all of ya'll
Bobby and Judy's wedding

"They Can't Take That Away From Me"

"They Can't Take That Away From Me"


The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No no they can't take that away from me

The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No no they can't take that away from me

We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we dance till three
The way you change my life
No no they can't take that away from me
No they can't take that away from me
Yeah yeah yeah

We may never never meet again, on this bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we dance till three
The way you change my life
No no they can't take that away from me
No they can't take that away from me
No they can't take that away from me
No they'll never never never never take that away from me
No they can't take that away...

"To Get To You"

"To Get To You"


I've cried an ocean of salty tears, so torn apart by love
Struggled through so many lonely years, dying for a lover's touch
But now that I'm lying here safe in your arms
Baby I would go through it all again.

[Chorus:]
I'd fall down on my knees
Spend desperate years lost at sea
Baby, to get to you
Go through every heartbreak, lose every last bit of faith
Baby, to get to you
Recry every hard tear
Face every dark fear
Just to feel the sun break through
Baby, to get to you.

Baby, I was convinced that I'd been adbandoned by God
That I was one in a million souls, somehow he forgot
But now that I've found you it makes perfect sense
And I would go through it all again.

[Chorus:]

Just to be lying here safe in your arms
I would go through it all again.

[Chorus:]

"Trainwreck Of Emotion"

"Trainwreck Of Emotion"


I see it all so clearly as I'm looking back
I was headed down the wrong way on a one-way track
There must be a million chances that a fool could take
This fool took every one and never hit the brakes.

I'm lying in the rubble, cinder, smoke and ash
My heart still pounding from the impact of the crash
I can see tomorrow's headlines
"Heartbroke From Blind Devotion"
Just another victim of a trainwreck of emotion.

We were burning like a furnace as he poured on the coal
Drive wheel churning, I mean love was on a roll
Faster and faster, I swear we left the ground
But when that smoke had cleared he was nowhere around.

I'm lying in the rubble, cinder, smoke and ash
My heart still pounding from the impact of the crash
I can see tomorrow's headlines
"Heartbroke From Blind Devotion"
Just another victim of a trainwreck of emotion.

Now the rumors are flyin' 'bout how our love could fail
But I know it was him that pulled that switch
And left me derailed.

I'm lying in the rubble, cinder, smoke and ash
My heart still pounding from the impact of the crash
I can see tomorrow's headlines
"Heartbroke From Blind Devotion"
Just another victim of a trainwreck of emotion.

[Tag:]
Trainwreck of emotion
It was lovesick locomotion.

"Us Girls"

"Us Girls"


Us girls have been best friends
Since the last time big hair was in
We know each other very well

Old hurts and brand new flames
Big jobs and baby names
And all the secrets we can never tell

[Chorus:]
Us girls - we love and hate and love our men
Us girls - we laugh and cry and laugh again
We got legendary stories
We're anything but boring
We've got letdowns and hang-ups
Laugh lines and break-ups
And all the grace the world will allow
Us girls

For 15 years we've passed around
The same advice, the same 10 pounds
Yeah, between us, we have tried it all

Months go by and we don't talk
Then we pick right up where we left off
We're always there to catch whatever falls

[Chorus]

BRIDGE
There are things we wish we hadn't said
But we've forgiven what we can't forget

REPEAT CHORUS

Us girls we got all the honey
Us girls and half the money

 

[fox69]

"Used"

"Used"


Show me a picture of a perfect life
I wanna see it, wanna know what it looks like
Anybody got a grip on life
I wanna know, call me up, tell me what it feels like
I can't remember what it was to dream
I can't sleep with my soul so unclean
Gotta wake up, gotta let it go

[Chorus:]
Maybe I lost my way
Maybe I made mistakes
Who cares, I coulda quit but I didn't
Maybe I loved too much
Maybe I've lost too much
I'm used... But then, who isn't?

When we talk about the both of us
I feel like an old tire on a street bus
I'm not bitter, but I gotta pull out my pride
Everybody's got a skeleton
In the closet and you gotta live with them
Feels like a fishhook in my side

[Chorus]

Maybe I crashed and burned
But look at how much I've learned
Well, who cares... I'm livin'
I have to forgive myself
'cause I can't be no one else
Well, I'm used... But then, who isn't?
I'm used... But then, who isn't?

"War Paint"

"War Paint"


You come in while I'm sitting at the mirror
You wanna say you know that I look nice
I sit in desperate silence and I listen
And with a cutting eye,you know you'd better look twice

'Cos I'm putting on my war paint
I'm on the path again
And before you say it looks great
You'd better look again

Red is for the anger that you put me through
And for all those nights I felt alone,will see a shade of blue
I'll add a dash of yellow for the power that you've been
And the black will be your night ahead
And my shadow in your bed
I'm putting on my war paint

There's nothing you can say to make it better
And there's no apology to change my mind
I guess I could have sent a "Dear John" letter
But it's written on my face,it's war paint time

'Cos I'm putting on my war paint
I'm on the path again
And before you say it looks great
You'd better look again

I'm putting on my war paint
I'm on the path again
I'm putting on my war paint
I'm on the path again
I'm putting on my (War Paint)
Red is for the anger that you put me through

"Watch Me"

"Watch Me"


The more I needed, the less you gave,
I guess you thought that it worked that way,
You never would listen
And now that I'm leavin',
You're not believin' a word I say.

[Chorus:]
Oh, if you I think I won't go, watch me,
Whoah, watch me prove you wrong today,
You don't even know you lost me,
You think I'd always stay,
Oh, just watch me walk away.

Don't tell me that it can't be done,
That the world is colder without someone,
You might get lonely, it might get crazy,
But this time, baby, I'm good as gone.

[Chorus]

Cab on the street, hand on the door,
Bag at my feet, need I say more?
Whoah, watch me.

You don't even know you lost me,
You think I'd always stay,
Ooo, just watch me walk away,
Just watch me walk away.

[Chorus]
