"Small Town Girl"

"Small Town Girl"



Am I just a small town girl
With big town dreams
That won't come true?
Thinking everything that means anything to me
Means something to you, too?

Am I just a small town girl?
Hey, big town boy
Don't let me down
You know I got it real bad
I gotta make good somehow
'Cause that's all they're saying now

(She's a small town girl with big town dreams)
(Big town dreams that never will come true)

Yeah, I'm just a small town girl with big town dreams
But, just you wait
I'll make 'em all come true, yes I will

Oh, take this little small town girl, yeah
In your arms and hold her tight
Make her life start tonight, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on and take this little small town girl
With big town dreams that won't come true
Come on and make her dreams
'Cause she loves you
Come on now, big town boy
Come on, don't let her down
You gotta fill my heart
You gotta

"So Much Love"

"So Much Love"



In the midst of all my darkness, baby
You came along to guide me
You took pity on a lonely girl
When you said you'd stand beside me
I'll never forget you for what you've done
I'll never turn my back on you for anyone

I got so much love to give you
Baby, I got so such love to give you
Oh, there's more than enough
To last a whole life through, yes
And it's all for you

My world was cold and so empty
And my life so unfulfilling
When I needed someone to pick me up
You were oh, so willing
Now to you it might seem a little thing
But to me it seemed you'd changed my winter to spring

(I've got so much love)
Baby, I got so such love to give you
Oh, there's more than enough
To last my whole life through, yeah
It's all for you

There's so few men nowadays
Who understand the soul of a woman
Now they're always on the take and they're
Never giving, never offering a helping hand
Oh baby, I can count on you
Whenever trouble calls
You see me through
You show your love in so many ways
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my days, yeah

I got so much love to give you
Baby, I got so such love

"Soft Core"

"Soft Core"



You brush by me and my whole facade just melts
You seem a bit twisted but that makes me more intrigued
You drag yourself through a maze of alcohol and neon lies
Can't seem to hold on to your love

I'm sick of being submissive when I really want to scream
I know this is just a psychopathic dream
You leave me lying with my head in my hands
You've got blood in your eyes
Can't seem to understand your love

I'm not the vindictive kind, you bring that out in me
I've been inflicted with a lot of pain, you see

I'm so frustrated, want to tear my hair out
Can't seem to get a grip on your love

You deny me and my self-esteem just dies
You like to lash out when I dare to criticise
You drag yourself through a maze of drugs and alibis
Can't seem to understand your love
I want to shout it, want to shout it
Tear my hair out
I wanna swear up and down
Tear my hair out
Can't seem to understand your love

"Someone Who Cares"

"Someone Who Cares"



Someone who cares
Someone who dares to love you
Someone who thinks enough of you
To always be willing to share, mmmm

Someone who gives
Someone who lives inside you
Someone who'll be strong beside you
Through all the days that you live, mmmm

I've made up my mind that you're gonna love me
I've made in my heart a soft place for you
I've made up my mind that you're gonna love me
I've made in my heart a soft place for you

Oh, someone who dreams
Of being in your life tomorrow
And sharing your joys and your sorrow
Helping you see what it means
To be loved, mmmm

"Something Special"

"Something Special"


The first time we met
It was so plain to see
I didn't care for you
You didn't seem to care for me, oh, no, no, no, no

The next time we met
I thought "He's kinda nice"
That look that you gave me
Simply started to melt the ice, oh, oh, yeah

And then when you smiled that smile
And then when we kissed, said "Wait awhile"
I got a feeling, ahh, that you are something special

And now we're together and the world just passes us by
Yet every little thing you do makes me sigh with joy "That boy is mine"

I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life
With the kind of lovin' that's untouched
By hand and strife

Come on now, I'm gonna tell you
That when, oh, when I see your face, yeah
And, oh, when I'm in your warm embrace
I know for sure our love is something special
It is, yeah, yeah, yeah

Right now
When I see your face, oh yeah
And, oh, when I'm in your warm embrace
I know for sure
Our love is something special
Come on now
Our love is something special
Oh yeah
Our love is something special
Oh right now
Our love is something special
Ooh yeah
Out love is something special

"Son Of A Preacher Man"

"Son Of A Preacher Man"



Billy-Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered round and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
A-through the backyard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
Ooh, yes he was

Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
(Ooh...) Lord knows he was
Yes he was

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowing
Lookin' to see how much we've grown

And the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
Ooh, yes he was

The only one who could ever reach me
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
I kissed the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever move me
The sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever groove me
Ahh, ooh, ahh....

"Sooner Or Later"

"Sooner Or Later"



The way you walked in the room
Kindled a fire
And if you went to the moon
You couldn't get higher

Just like a thief in the night
I busted your steer
You turned to put up a fight
But I wasn't there

How does it feel?
Who needs permission?
How does it feel
When something's missin'?
Even your heart, it's under suspicion
You can't turn back and it's plain to see, oh, ho

With every step that you take
You'll be lovin' me sooner or later
'Cause when it comes down to fate
You'll be lovin' me sooner or later
Oh, oh, I know

You play that game of control
But take no position, mmm, mmm
You never let yourself go
A tragic condition
And by that look on your face

You love all the pleasure
Don't let this chance slip away
Why wait forever?

Everyone needs some love and affection
One of these days you're gonna listen
Take it from me, I'm not your no exception
And that's a solid-gold guarantee

With every step that you take
You'll be lovin' me sooner or later, oh
'Cause when it comes down to fate
You'll be lovin' me sooner or later
Oh, ho, I know

(With every step that you take)
You'll be lovin' me sooner or later, oh, oh
('Cause when it comes down to fate)
You'll be lovin' me sooner or later
Oh, oh

(With every step that you take)
You'll be lovin' me sooner or later, you'll be lovin' me
('Cause when it comes down to fate)
With every breath that you take
You'll be lovin', lovin', mmm
(With every step that you take)

"Spooky"

"Spooky"



In the cool of the evening
When everything is gettin kind of groovy
You call me up and ask me
Would I like to go with you and see a movie
First I say no, I've got some plans for the night
And then I stop, and say, all right
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little boy like you

You always keep me guessin
I never seem to know what you are thinkin
And if a girl looks at you
It's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin
I get confused, cause I don't know where I stand
And then you smile, and hold my hand
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little boy like you
Spooky

If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin
I'm gonna tell you all the things my heart's been a-dyin to be sayin
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin my dreams
So now i know, you're not what you seem
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little boy like you

Spooky, spooky, oh whoa, all right
Spooky, oh yea yea
I said Spooky yea yea

Stay awhile, let me hold you
Stay awhile, 'til I've told you, oh, oh
Of the love that I feel tonight, oh yeah

Stay awhile, what's your hurry?
Stay awhile, 'cause I worry, oh
