"Girls Like Me"

"Girls Like Me"


Some girls have someone
They can rely on
They got a mailbox made for two
And I feel the same need
To have someone to lean on
But that is something I never learned to do

Girls like me
We believe in
Action found on some secluded beach
It's hard to please a paperback dreamer
Always holding on to something out of reach
Love may never come that easily
To girls like me

Once I had a new love
I gave my heart to
Oh but I couldnt' make that feeling stay
And all the love he showed me
Just couldnt' hold me
Once the magic slipped away

Girls like me
Still believe in
Love embracing on some lonely street
It is hard to be
A paperback dreamer
Always holding on
To something out of reach
Maybe love was never meant to be
For girls like me

Surely there is someone out there waiting

Some romantic dreamer
Who still believes
In girls like me

Oh oh

"Goodbye Baby"

"Goodbye Baby"


She ain't no good for ya baby she'll never be true
I know she's been cheatin' on you
She shouldn't do you like that do you like that
Don't cry

Oh oh I'm gonna love you tonight

So you better tell her goodbye baby
Tell her goodbye baby goodbye

Well everybody knows she's been gettin' some on the side
I'd never do you like that do you like that
No baby I'd always be true

Why don'tcha tell her (goodbye baby)
Tell her goodbye baby tell her (goodbye baby)
Tell her goodbye baby tell her (goodbye baby)
Cause you're gonna be mine tonight

She wouldn't treat ya so bad if she only knew

Yeah everybody knows she's been gettin' some on the side...
Why don'tcha tell her (goodbye baby)...
Well everybody knows she's been gettin' some on the side...

"Greener Than The Grass"

"Greener Than The Grass"


He paints quite a picture for the girls in my home town
And I was no exception to the rule
Singing all them songs about the places that he's been
Made a body feel just like a fool
My pride was like the paper bag that once held the wine
Thrown without no caution to the wind
He left me like the empty bottle lying on the ground
Swearing he would pick me up again

And I was greener than the grass we laid on
Underneath that Alabama sun
I guess I should have known
That old highway was his home
Do-do-do-do-do-do do-do-do

He said that I was prettier than Paris in the rain
Lord, he filled me full of gypsy lies
Swearing that he'd come back to fetch me in the Spring
Too ashamed to look me in the eye
Well I find about as simple as the cotton dress I've torn
Sneaking in the house at 3 a.m.
Momma liked to question me the day after and I was sure
Her intuition told her where I'd been

And I was greener than the grass we laid on
Underneath that Alabama sun
I guess I should have known
That old highway was his home
Do-do-do-do-do-do do-do-do

"Guess I'll Have To Love Him More"

"Guess I'll Have To Love Him More"


She's such a woman and I'm just a girl
To her he's a plaything but to me he's the world
But I'm so afraid she'll take him
And if she does she'll make him forget about me

Guess I'll have to love him more guess I'll have to love him more
And hold him tighter than she would kiss him sweeter than she ever could
Guess I'll have to love him more more than he's been loved before
Cause when we would ever gonna make it to heaven's door
Guess I'll have to love him more

"Half The Moon"

"Half The Moon"


Half the moon is shining tonight
And half the moon is pitch black
And I got half the chance that you might
Turn around and come back
Half my love has seen the light
And half my love is still blind
It keeps on thinking tomorrow
You'll change your mind

Half our hearts were doing just fine
And half our hearts were in doubt
And half the time while walking the line
I ended up steppin' out

Half my prayers were praying to God
And half my prayers were to you
Tonight it looks like
The answers are overdue

And I'm feeling just how hard
Half the moon can fool
I swear my heart might crack in two
If that moon were full
Half the moon is shining tonight
And half the moon's up and gone
You must have taken half of it's life
To find the road that you're on

Half my love has seen the truth
And half my love is still blind
It makes that missin' half the moon
Hard to find
Oh

It makes that missin' half the moon
Hard to find

"Halfway To Heaven"

"Halfway To Heaven"


It's a cryin' shame how you're playin' with my heart
You think love is endin' when it's time to start

Don't take me halfway to heaven
Honey don't ya lead me on this way
Don't take me halfway to heaven
Darlin' I can't stand another day
Cause if I don't get to heaven you best believe there's gonna be hell to pay

All night long I see promise in your eyes
When I get you home you give me alibis

Don't take me halfway to heaven...

Halfway to heaven halfway to heaven
Halfway to heaven halfway to heaven
Cause if I don't get to heaven you best believe there's gonna be hell to pay

You know darlin' sometimes things just have a way of turnin' around
One of these days I'm gonna take you halfway to heaven

You better believe it

Halfway to heaven don't take me halfway to heaven
Don't take me halfway to heaven
Don't take me halfway to heaven
Cause if I don't get to heaven you best believe there's gonna be hell to pay
Cause if I don't get to heaven you best believe there's gonna be hell to pay
Hell to pay

Thank you thank you very much
We'd like to do some songs that were number one records of mine a few years ago

"Hangin' In"

"Hangin' In"


You said goodbye on Tuesday
I figured I would see you by the weekend
I either didn't hear you right
Or maybe this ol' heart just didn't listen

So I'm writing you this letter I may never send
Wonderin' if you're wonderin' how I've been

It's lonely but I'm hangin' in
Hangin' out till I'm with you again
Runnin' out of reason to be strong
Hangin' in, hangin' out, hangin' on

Talk about blue Monday
Tomorrow it's a week I've been without you
I haven't gone to work yet
I couldn't do a thing but think about you

But I know that I can make it through whatever comes
As long as there is still a chance to save our love

It's lonely but I'm hangin' in
Hangin' out till I'm with you again
Runnin' out of reason to be strong
Hangin' in, hangin' out, hangin' on

It's lonely but I'm hangin' in
Hangin' out till I'm with you again
Runnin' out of reason to be strong
Hangin' in, hangin' out, hangin' on

"He Was Just Leaving"

"He Was Just Leaving"


I know I told you no before
I wouldn't let you past my door
'Cause there was someone else inside

Well I guess he found somebody new
And nothing I can say or do
Will put her out of his mind

[Chorus:]
And he,he was just leaving
Your just in time this time
And I sure could use a friend
I,I've got this feeling
He was just leaving
So come on in

Funny,you should come around tonight
Just when things aren't going right
Just when the door is open wide

[Chorus]

 

[fox69]

"He's All I Got"

"He's All I Got"


Well I said friend don't take him he's all I've got
Please don't take his love away from me
I'm a beggin' to you friend don't take him he's all I've got
He's everything in life I'll ever need

He is life oh when I wanna live he's everything to me in life that life can give
He's my water oh when I need to drink
He's the first thought in my mind each time I try to think
Let me tell you now friend...

He's my fingers when I want to feel he's the only thing in life to me that's really real
He is love he's all the love I know
He could kiss the ground in the wintertime and make a flower grow
Let me tell you now friend...

"Heartbreak Hotel"

"Heartbreak Hotel"


[Intro:]
This is a heartbreak hotel
This is a heartbreak hotel
This is a heartbreak hotel
This is a heartbreak hotel

[Repeat]

[Whitney:]
You said you'd be here by 9
And said you took your time
You didn't think to call me, boy
Here I sit, tryin' not to cry
Askin' myself why
You'd do this to me

[Refrain (Faith):]
Since you're not around for me to tell you baby face to face
I'm writin' you this letter, and this is what I have to say

[Chorus:]
All I really wanted was someone to care
Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
What you do to me, look what you did to me
I thought that you were someone who would do me right
Until you played with me emotions and you made me cry
What you do to me, you take what you did to me

[Whitney:]
Now I see that you've been doin' wrong
And played me all along
And made a fool of me, baby
You got it all wrong to think that I wouldn't find out
(Uh!)
That you were cheatin' on me baby
How could you do it to me

[Refrain]

[Chorus:]
All I really wanted was someone to care
Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind (what youdid...)
What you do to me, look what you did to me
I thought that you were someone who would do me right
Until you played with me emotions and you made me cry
What you do to me (why you do it?),
You take what you did to me (you didn't have to do it to me, baby)

[Repeat Intro]

[Chorus 2x]

I ain't gon' take it... I ain't gon' take it boy

[Fade]
