"I Want My Baby Back"

"I Want My Baby Back"


Your eyes have been a different kind of blue
I can feel the sadness when I'm touching you
It's as if lately you've been standing in sinkin sand
Before you go down any deeper
Let me help, take my hand.

I want my baby back
I miss the way you used to laugh
And dance around to your own beat
So alive so carefree.
I want my baby back
Where is the old you hiding at
You may be here, but baby
You've been gone to long.

Girl, you're in a state I've never seen you in
It breaks my heart to see you in a downward spin
You're looking lost but you don't have to be alone
Why don't you talk to me
Tell me what's going on.

I want my baby back
I miss the way you used to laugh
And dance around to your own beat
So alive so carefree.
I want my baby back
Where is the old you hiding at
You may be here, but baby
You've been gone to long.

I want to see that crazy smile
Like you just might do something wild
There it is, here it comes
Just in time you could use a little fun.

I want my baby back
I miss the way you used to laugh
And dance around to your own beat
So alive, so carefree.
I want my baby back
Where is the old you hiding at
You may be here, but baby
You've been gone to long.

I want my, baby back.

I want my, baby back.

Oh, bring her back.

I want my, baby back...

"I'll Get You Back"

"I'll Get You Back"


Why couldn't I hear the sound of your heart breakin'
Why couldn't I see the mistakes I was makin'
Why didn't I feel the distance in your kiss
Well, I can't let you get away with leavin' me like this.

I'll get you back, this ain't over yet
Don't know what I'll do but I'll think of somethin'
I'll get you back, you're gonna get
All the love that you've got comin'
I won't give up until I prove
My heart and soul belong to you
Whatever it takes, I'll get you back.

Now I'm gonna be the man you've always dreamed of
Love's the only thing I'll let come between us
You still ain't got the best of me
I'll show you my love is true, just you wait and see.

I'll get you back, this ain't over yet
Don't know what I'll do but I'll think of somethin'
I'll get you back, you're gonna get
All the love that you've got comin'
I won't give up until I prove
My heart and soul belong to you
Whatever it takes, I'll get you back.

Whatever it takes, I'll get you back...

"I'll Think Of Something"

"I'll Think Of Something"


I don't know how I'll get her off my mind - but give me time
I'll think of something
I can't say that I'm all right - but by tonight
I'll think of something
I'll find so many things to do that I wont have the time to think of her
And then if she's still on my mind I'll try to drink enough to drown the hurt
And if that don't work
I'll think of something

Where do I go for love that I still need - now that I'm free
I'll think of something
And if someday by accident we meet - and I can't speak
I'll think of something
If I can't say a word to her I'll blame it on this lump that's in my throat
And standing there what will I do to hide my love enough that it wont show
Well I don't know
But I'll think of something

"I'm A Saint"

"I'm A Saint"


Here's some things about me you might wanna know.
I'm gonna tell you even if you don't.
I come from the country, I still been to town.
An' I like dogs but just not in the house.
But I might skip church one Sunday,
To catch the football game,
But I'll give twice as much next week,
When they pass the offerin' plate.

I'm just ordinary on most days,.
Extraordinary on my best.
I got a good job, but the way I spend money,
I never have any left.
Hey, I drink too much coffee,
An' I'm always runnin' late.
I was born a sinner,
But my Momma thinks I'm a saint.

I've had my share of heartaches, bounced a couple checks
I had a wife, but now I've got an ex.
No, I wont never be the President, hel,l I barely finished school,
But I know Justin sings lead for N'Sync, so my kids think I'm cool.

I'm just ordinary on most days,.
Extraordinary on my best.
I got a good job, but the way I spend money,
I never have any left.
I drink too much coffee,
An' I'm always runnin' late.
But I was born a sinner,
But my Momma thinks I'm a saint.

I know there are some who live life differently,
But there's a lot more people who are just like me.

Ordinary on most days,
Extraordinary on my best.
I got a good job, but the way I spend money,
I never have any left.
Yeah, I drink too much coffee,
An' I'm always runnin' late.
I was born a sinner,
But my Momma thinks I'm a saint.

Yeah, I was born a sinner,
But my Momma thinks I'm a saint.

"I'm Gone"

"I'm Gone"


Sittin' at a table conversation
Me and my buddies
I follow what they're sayin'
100% of the daily events
But the minute she walks in my direction
Well, there goes my span of attention
One look in her eyes
And I'm gone for a ride.
I'm gone, I'm history
She gets the best of me
My mind drifts away
And instantly
I'm in another world
Wishin' she was my girl
And nothin' else matters at all
I'm gone like yesterday
To another time and place
One sweet smile and I get swept away
She gives me just enough to dream on
And I'm gone.
Yeah, I been comin' in here for quite some time
I've got it all figured out in my mind
What I wanna say, yeah, today's the day
Oh here she comes, heart be steady
Play it cool, I got the words ready
She says hello, and away I go.
I'm gone, I'm history
She gets the best of me
My mind drifts away
And instantly
I'm in another world
Wishin' she was my girl
And nothin' else matters at all
I'm gone like yesterday
To another time and place
One sweet smile and I get swept away
She gives me just enough to dream on
And I'm gone.
I'm gone, I'm history
She gets the best of me
My mind drifts away
And instantly
I'm in another world
Wishin' she was my girl
And nothin' else matters at all
I'm gone like yesterday
To another time and place
One sweet smile and I get swept away
She gives me just enough to dream on
And I'm gone.
I'm gone...

"I'm In Love With A Married Woman"

"I'm In Love With A Married Woman"


We sit alone in the darkest corner
Waitress comes and takes our order
And she looks at us so suspiciously
It's plain to see that we're lovers
Tryin' to be alone with each other
It's so hard for us to break free
She whispers softly I love you
This ain't your average rendezvous
Cause I'm in love with a married woman
I don't care, I don't care who know it
I'm in love with a married woman
On her left hand there's a wedding band
That she wears faithfully
And I thank God she's married to me
No cheap hotel where we'll check-in
No other lives we'll be wreckin'
With alibis to hide a cheaters kiss
'cause if there's lipstick on my collar
You can bet your bottom dollar
It's the color she wears on nights like this
Every friday here at five
I try to keep the fire alive

"I'm Not Getting Any Better At Goodbyes"

"I'm Not Getting Any Better At Goodbyes"


Seems like I've been here before
Just outside some closing door
Standing here just searching for a light
You'd think by now I'd have it down
I know I should be wiser now
'Cause no one's gonna bail me out this time
I'm not getting any better at goodbyes
I'm not any better now than when I first began
It hurts every bit as much as it did way back then
I suppose I'll cry a lot the only thing for sure is
I'm not getting any better at goodbye
Friends may come and friends may go
But lover's memories die so slow
They won't always let you know it's time
But even this shall pass I guess
And you'll do just like all the rest
And I'll start dusting off all my best lines
Oh, I'm not getting any better at goodbyes
I'm not any better now than when I first began
It hurts every bit as much as it did way back then
I suppose I'll cry a lot, the only thing for sure is
I'm not getting any better at goodbye
Oh, I'm not getting any better at goodbye...

"I've Got A Quarter In My Pocket"

"I've Got A Quarter In My Pocket"


I've got a quarter in my pocket
Won't you tell me what I should do?
Should've put it in the phone
So I could come crawling home to you
Should've put in the jukebox
And play another heartbreak song
I'm leaning toward the latter
And I really hate being alone

I'm gonna flip it in the air
I'm gonna watch it fly
If it's heads, I might love again
If it's tails I'll cry

I've got a quarter in my pocket
Won't you tell me what I should do?
Should've put it in the phone
So I could come crawling home to you
Should've put in the jukebox
And play another heartbreak song
I'm leaning toward the latter
And I really hate being alone

Here I am again
On the same old stool
With the same old question in hand
And the mind of a fool

I've got a quarter in my pocket
Won't you tell me what I should do?
Should've put it in the phone
So I could come crawling home to you
Should've put in the jukebox
And play another heartbreak song
I'm leaning toward the latter
And I really hate being alone

Well, I've got a quarter in my pocket
And I really hate being alone

"Is It Still Cheating"

"Is It Still Cheating"


Answering machine says you'll be late again
Third time this week
And I know what you're doing
To tell the truth, it's a relief

Cause that means she and I
Will have a little extra time
And we won't be in such a hurry
But baby, if we break each other's rules
And play each other fools, is it still cheating?

Is it still cheating if both of us are lying?
It's getting hard to tell cause I'm guilty as hell
But baby, so are you
And we're still married
Does that word hold any meaning?
If you're lying next to him
And she's lying next to me
Is it still cheating?

When I pick up the phone
And no one says hello, I know it's him
It's getting to the point where
It don't hardly even change the mood I'm in

With every single promise broke
Deep inside I know I should be dying
Or at least crying
Oh, but if I don't love you
And you don't love me too, is it still cheating?

Is it still cheating if both of us are lying?
It's getting hard to tell cause I'm guilty as hell
But baby, so are you
And we're still married
Does that word hold any meaning?
If you're lying next to him
And she's lying next to me
Is it still cheating?

If you're lying next to him
And she's lying next to me
Is it still cheating?

"It Pays Big Money"

"It Pays Big Money"


My oldest brother Tommy
Was a lineman rest his soul
His job was hanging hot wires
On them power company poles
I said with all of that high voltage
Don't it scare you half to death?
He said it makes me kinda nervous
But I just can't help myself.
It pays big money and boy I'm into that
It pays big money if you're willin' to take a chance
I'll tell you sonny, you ought to see my bank account
It paid big money but he sure can't spend it now.
My dear departed cousin
Used to put in forty hours
Changing all them light bulbs
On them television towers
Every morning bright and early
He'd climb up in the sky
And I didn't understand it
So one day I asked him why, he said.
It pays big money and boy I'm into that
It pays big money if you're willin' to take a chance
I'll tell you sonny you ought to see my bank account
It paid big money but he sure can't spend it now.
My late Uncle Charlie
Was a demolition man
And he traveled all over the country
Blasting holes in this great land
And he carried a case of dynamite
Everywhere he went
And he'd smoke them big long cigars
'Til it got the best of him, but.
It pays big money and boy I'm into that
It pays big money if you're willin' to take a chance
I'll tell you sonny you ought to see my bank account
It paid big money but he sure can't spend it now.
Now the moral of this story
Is don't go getting' yourself killed
Be kind to your rich relatives
And they might just leave you in their will
That pays big money having foolish kin.
It pays big money, I guess I owe it all to them
I'll tell you sonny you ought to see my bank account
It pays big money think I'll go spend some of it now...
