"Don't Touch Me There"

"Don't Touch Me There"



These hands
You can hold them all night if you want to
And these lips
Won't mind your kisses
No they don't care
You can lay your head on my shoulder
Maybe even get a little bolder
But when it comes to my heart
Oh don't touch me there

Oh these arms
You can wrap around me gently
And your fingers
You can run them through my hair
But there's one place that's off bounds
From the last time love came 'round
When it comes to my heart
Don't touch me there

Last time I gave my heart so sweetly it broke
He broke it so completely
And even now it's more then I can bear
Now someday I know I'll try again
Someday but until then
When it comes to my heart
Don't touch me there

Oh these hands you can hold them all night if you want to
And these lips won't mind your kisses
No they don't care
You can lay your head on my shoulder
Or maybe even get a little bolder
But when it comes to my heart
Don't touch me there

Oh when it comes to my heart
Don't touch me there

"Don't You Believe Him"

"Don't You Believe Him"



He can give you a reason to live if he wants to
He can make you forget other loves that you had known
He has two lips and two arms that thrill you as very few do
And if you want him to give them to you just ask and he will

Don't you believe him
I did and soon he'll be leaving me
No don't believe him if you do
Then soon he'll be leaving you too

He can tell you a lie you believe if he has to
And you'll trust me till time and the tide both stand still
He can cry on your shoulder and swear to the things that he won't do
But be careful for when you're not looking he will

Don't you believe him
I did and soon he'll be leaving me
No don't believe him if you do
Then soon he'll be leaving you too

"Ease The Fever"

"Ease The Fever"



No need talking
I can't see it
Someone set your heart on fire
Now she's gone and all she left is hurt
Lots of burning sweet desire

So let me ease the fever and erase the pain
Let me make a believer out of you again
Hold me close and let me love the tears away
Let me ease the fever and erase the pain

Let your tears fall on my shoulder
Let your arms around me tight
Yesterday is gone forever
Let's make tomorrow start tonight

So let me ease the fever and erase the pain
Let me make a believer out of you again
Hold me close and let me love the tears away
Let me ease the fever and erase the pain

So let me ease the fever and erase the pain
Let me make a believer out of you again
Hold me close and let me love the tears away
Let me ease the fever and erase the pain

So let me ease the fever and erase the pain
Let me make a believer out of you again
Hold me close and let me love the tears away
Let me ease the fever and erase the pain

"Eight Crazy Hours (In The Story Of Love)"

"Eight Crazy Hours (In The Story Of Love)"



It was somethin' as simple
As makin' the bed
That kicked off the voice
Inside her head
She was smoothin' the sheet
With the palm of her hand
When the thought struck home
"I don't know who I am"

And she sat cross-legged
On the bedroom floor
And thought
There's 3 people in this house
That don't need me anymore
And she cried like a baby
In a pile of dirty clothes

Oh, should I be more care free
Should I be more sexy
Should I be more friend, than mom
And the dryer was buzzin'
And the TV was blarin'
And she wanted to call her mother

It was somethin' as simple
As checkin' in to that cheap motel
Out on Highway 10
Was it the sting of leavin'
Or usin' her maiden name
That took all of the fun
Out of runnin' away
And she cried like a baby
In the tub of room 5

Oh, should I be more care free
Should I be more sexy
Should I be more friend, than mom
And her head was buzzin'
And the TV was blarin'
And she wanted to call her husband

It was somethin' as simple
As pickin' up the kids
That her back to Earth again
She'd been to the dark side of the moon
She had to keep it to herself
So she grabbed Kentucky Fried Chicken
For supper

Oh, but she looked more care free
And she looked more sexy
And she looked more friend than mom
And the table talk was buzzin'
And the TV, it was blarin'
And they all sat and laughed at each other

It was somethin' as simple
As not givin' up
And eight crazy hours
In the story of love

"Empty Arms"

"Empty Arms"



Empty arms
That long for you
And they wait
Dear just for you
And these arms
Will stay this way
Till you return
To them someday

Each lonely night
I go to bed
I hug the pillow
Where you used to lay your head

Empty arms
But not for long
Cause my baby's coming home
And when he
Walks through the door
These empty arms
I'll have no more

And when he
Walks through that door
These empty arms
I'll have no more

These empty arms
I'll have no more

"Enough"
(duet with Jennifer Nettles)

"Enough"
(duet with Jennifer Nettles)



He tells me he's working late
He tells me that he can't stay too long
So I turn the lights off
I fall asleep before he's home
Tomorrow I'll wake up alone
Feeling that familiar low
My heart's screaming, no

But everytime I think I've had enough
He comes around and wraps me up in love
And I wind up giving in
Cause he gives me just enough
To make me think that
There's still hope for us
In the end it's only me
Wishing I could be
Wishing I still was
Enough

He think it's best to tell me lies
He don't even try to hide, the truth
So he won't hurt me
He made a promise he can't keep
He can't promise anything
The half of him he gives to me
Will never be enough

But everytime I think I've had enough
He comes around and wraps me up in love
And I wind up giving in
Cause he gives me just enough
To make me think that
There's still hope for us
In the end it's only me
Wishing I could be
Wishing I still was

Enough to make him wanna stay
Enough to make him walk away
I just wanna hear him say I was

Enough
To make me think that
There's still hope for us
But in the end it's only me
Wishing I could be
Wishing I still was
Enough

I know I'll never be
Oh, I know I never was
Enough, Enough

Oh I'm wishing I could be
No I'll never be
Oh, Enough
Never was, Enough
Never be

"Every Other Weekend"
(with Kenny Chesney)

"Every Other Weekend"
(with Kenny Chesney)



[Reba:]
Every other Friday
It's toys and clothes and backpacks
Is everybody in,
Okay, let's go see dad
Same time in the same spot
Corner of the same old parking lot
Half the hugs and kisses there are always sad
We tradecouple words and looks and kids again
Every Other weekend

[Kenny:]
Every other weekend
Very few exceptions,
I pick up the love we made in both my arms
It's movies on the sofa, grilled cheese and cut the crust off
"That's not the way mom makes it, daddy," breaks my heart
I miss everything I use to have with her again,
Every other weekend

[Kenny:]
I cant tell her I love her

[Reba:]
I can't tell him I love him

[Both:]
'Cause there's too many questions and years in the car

[Reba:]
So I don't tell him I miss him

[Kenny:]
I don't tell her I need her

[Both:]
She's(He's) over me, that's where we are

[Kenny:]
So we're as close as we may ever be again
Every other weekend

[Reba:]
Every other Saturday
First thing in the morning
I turn the TV on to make the quiet go away
I know why, but I don't know why
We ever let this happen
Fallin' for forever was a big mistake
There's so much not to do and all day not to do with him
Every other weekend

[Kenny:]
Every other Sunday
I empty out my backseat
While my children hug their mother
In the parking lot
We don't touch,
We don't talk much,
Maybe goodbye to each other
As she drives away with every piece of heart I got,
I reconvince myself we did the right thing,
Every other weekend

[Kenny:]
I can't tell her I love her

[Reba:]
I can't tell him I love him

[Both:]
'Cause there's too many questions and years in the car

[Reba:]
So I don't tell him I miss him

[Kenny:]
I don't tell her I need her

[Both:]
She's (He's) over me that's where we are
We're as close as we may ever be again
Every other weekend

[Kenny:]
Yeah, for fifteen minutes,
We're a family again

[Reba:]
God, I wish that he was still with me again

[Kenny:]
Every other weekend

"Every Second Someone Breaks A Heart"

"Every Second Someone Breaks A Heart"



It's a dangerous world we live in
Crime is everywhere
There's always some sad story going down

You can read it in the paper
You can see it on the air
It's an evil epidemic going round

But nobody seems to notice
The saddest crime of all
Oh just how many times a day
Someone takes their love away
And the national statistics
Never put it in the chart
But every second someone breaks a heart

There's a woman out there somewhere
Who feels she lost her life
But her man just shot her world down
And it hurts

There's a guy who just got taken
And it cuts him like a knife
Some girl stole his heart and left him
Without a world

They don't call it a crime of passion
But it kills you just the same
It's murder when a true love dies
Right before your very eyes

And as soon as one is over
Another one will start
Every second someone breaks
Every second someone breaks a heart

If you've got someone who loves you
Be careful all the time
Do you know where your love is tonight
Cause there's always someone trying
To find the perfect crime
And you never know just when
They'll strike

So you better watch your woman
And you better watch your man
Cause no one's safe when love's at stake
Anybody's heart can break

And the next time that it happens
You're not the losing part
Every second someone breaks a heart
Every second someone breaks a heart
Every second someone breaks a heart

"Every Time You Touch Her"

"Every Time You Touch Her"



Do you hold her all night long
Do you sing her our love song
Do you kiss her lips until love makes her weak, oh darlin'
Do you promise her the moon
Does she think loves coming soon
Does she know each move is made from memory, oh darlin'

Every time you touch her (Every time)
Every time you touch her think of me
When she reaches out for you ,the same way my arms do

Does she know the truth your love belongs to me, oh baby
Do you wonder in the dark if she sees into your heart
Do you close your eyes so she will never see, oh baby

Every time you touch her (Every time)
Every time you touch her think of me

Nights were never made to spend alone I can wish you love, but I can't wish you gone
Do you hold her all night long
Do you sing her our love song
Do you kiss her lips until love makes her weak, oh darlin'

Every time you touch her (Every time)
Every time you touch her think of me

"Everyday People"
(with Carole King)

"Everyday People"
(with Carole King)



College Kids turning twenty-one
And their senior year spring break was here
They headed south.. but not for sun
On their skin where the storms had been

It was hard
Fixing windows and shigles and doors
And the tide never felt so good before

[Chorus:]
Everyday People are the ones who are making miracles
And it's beautiful
Everyday People lifting up the world
Like an answered prayer
I thank God their there
They're the one's who care
Everyday People

Doctor said "Good News we caught it soon enough, we can clear this up"
But she's 30 and single with two kids to raise
Times are tough these days
So her friends made some calls and the word spread around
How her bills got paid she don't know how

[Chorus]

A little girl takes her Mama's hand
And walks inside saying "Please don't cry"
As the people who built this house just for them
Laugh through the tears as a family moves in

[Chorus]
