Sherrie Austin Words Lyrics
1.Innocent Man

(kent agee/will rambeaux)

Standing in line at the grocery
Staring back at the trash magazines
Martians say earth girls are lonely
Well that's no news to me

In the parking lot i saw two cowboys
Fighting for a handicapped space
So what is a girl to do now boys
To make sense of this place

There's too much wrong in the world tonight
Too much i can't understand
I wanna board up these windows
And turn out these lights
And lie down with an innocent man
Lie down with an innocent man

I don't need a strong man's protection
I don't want a faithless man's love
Just a little respect and affection
Would be more than enough

Cause i've been shot down by love's aimless arrows
And i've shot a few wild ones myself
But these days the choices are narrow
And you've got to aim well

There's too much wrong in the world tonight
Too much i can't understand
I wanna board up these windows
And turn out these lights
And lie down with an innocent man
Lie down with an innocent man

I've been holding my heart like a lantern
Looking out for just one honest face
All the noise out there won't matter
If i can trust in just one quiet place

There's too much wrong in the world tonight
Too much i can't understand
I wanna board up these windows
And turn out these lights
And lie down with an innocent man
Lie down with an innocent man


2.I Want To Fall In Love(So Hard It Hurts)

I was trapped in a castle tower
Locked up in chains
I waited for my prince to save me
But he never came

I woke up with my heart pounding
Convinced that i was cursed
I picked up a romance novel
And read the last page first

Ohhh ohhh woe is me

I want to fall in love so hard it hurts
I want the kind of love that moves the earth
I want more than i can take
'til my poor heart starts to ache
I want to fall in love so hard it hurts

I took a ride with a guy from tupelo
In his chevrolet
He said baby we're moving way too fast
And slammed on the brakes

We got out and he lit a cigarette
We didn't say too much
He packed up his emotional baggage
And left me in the dust
Ohhh ohhh woe is me

I want to fall in love so hard it hurts
I want the kind of love that moves the earth
I want more than i can take
'til my poor heart starts to ache
I want to fall in love so hard it hurts


3.Lucky In Love

He was a hot-blooded rebel, he was aiming to please
He had more than a tattoo up his sleeve
Marylou, peggy sue, suzy q, norma jean

He was pretty as a picture on his motorbike
He never met a mirror that he didn't like
Sorry dude, with your rude attitude, take a hike

Goodness, gracious, mercy me
Somebody tell me when will i be

Lucky, lucky in love
Roll myself a seven when i throw the dice
I've been waiting for the king of hearts
Still i get the joker every time
When will i be, lucky in love

I met a sweet-talking guy from paris, tennessee
He bought me french fries at the dairy queen
He came on strong, before too long
He was on bended knee

Now when i hear his footsteps up my block
I hear the tick of his biological clock
Sorry hon', gotta run, it's been fun, still in shock

Goodness gracious, mercy me
Somebody tell me when will i be

Lucky, lucky in love
Roll myself a seven when i throw the dice
I've been waiting for the king of hearts
Still i get the joker every time
When will i be, lucky in love

Goodness gracious, mercy me
Somebody tell me when will i be

Lucky, lucky in love
Roll myself a seven when i throw the dice
I've been waiting for the king of hearts
Still i get the joker every time
When will i be
Oh when will i be
Oh yeah, when will i be
Lucky in love


4.One Solitary Tear

Your love was reckless baby i fell deep
Easy to hold but you were hard to keep
You were a heartache waiting to be
We took off flying down a dead end street

I never knew that love could hurt so bad
When you said goodbye with a tip of your hat
I watched you leaving across the welcome mat
And though i know that you ain't coming back

One solitary tear is all i'll cry
One solitary tear falling, falling,
Falling from my eyes
I'll get over you i'll get by
One solitary tear at a time

Little things remind me that you're gone
The mailman still brings all your catalogs
The radio just keeps on playing our songs
But i tell myself that i have to be strong

One solitary tear is all i'll cry
One solitary tear falling, falling,
Falling from my eyes
I'll get over you i'll get by
One solitary tear at a time

I'll get over you
I'll get by
One solitary tear
At a time
One solitary tear
At a time


5.Put Your Heart Into It

You don't need to talk french
To make me giddy
You don't need to fly me off to some foreign city
You don't need pretty words just to turn my head
And you don't need to be a casanova in bed
If you're gonna love me
Why don't you just do it
Come on baby,
Put your heart into it

You don't need to pop out of a birthday cake
You don't need to bring me roses on roller-skates
Write my name in big letters across the sky
No you don't need to run for president to catch my eye
If you're going to love me
Why don't you just do it
Come on baby,
Put your heart into it

Well you can lead a horse to water
But you can't make 'em drink
Send a boy to college
But you can't make him think
We'll i've been feeling kind of lonely
Like a ship out on the ocean
I need to see a little old-fashioned emotion

Well you got my attention, baby
What's on your mind
You can leave all that fancy footwork behind
Well i can see you're cute and i know you're witty
But let's get down to the real nitty gritty
If you're going to love me
Why don't you just do it
Come on baby,
Put your heart into it

Yeah, if you're gonna love me
Why don't you just do it
Come on baby
Put your heart into it


6.Tenderly

(kevin fisher)

The air is cooling and the sun's going down
The day's been grueling in this dusty old town
My body's aching for what you do to me

Tenderly tenderly
Tenderly tenderly

The words are easy when the language is love
You know exactly what i'm thinking of
My heart is hungry for what you do to me

Tenderly tenderly
Tenderly tenderly

I've had lovers go up in flames
Been with others who've had no names
God i've waited patiently
For someone who really touches me

I feel your fingers and their touch is like fire
Sensations linger then they turn to desire
My body's aching for what you do to me

Tenderly tenderly
Tenderly tenderly


7.That's No Way To Break A Heart

You waltz into the room
Just like you'd never left
And for a moment or two
I could almost forget
You take me in your arms
And i fall again

That's no way to break a heart
You call my name i drop my guard
Why can't you play your chosen part
And stay away so i can make another start
That's no way to break a heart

Weren't you supposed to need
Something i could not give
But now you're lying so close to me
And you're taking everything
I can't hold on forever
For nothing more than this

That's no way to break a heart
You call my name i drop my guard
Why can't you play your chosen part
And stay away so i can make another start
That's no way to break a heart

No don't touch me
Don't you kiss me
Don't you realize
That's no way
To say goodbye

That's no way to break a heart
You call my name i drop my guard
Why can't you play your chosen part
And stay away so i can make another start
That's no way to break a heart


8.Trouble In Paradise

(spady brannan/pound lamb)

So you're taking it on the chin
Looks like he's working late again
But you don't want to fight
You find it easier to let things slide
So you pour a glass of wine and read a book
It's your last chance for romance

Day by day
You keep pretending that nothing's wrong
But you're just deceiving yourself
You've been indifferent way too long
Oh, don't you know
Once your heart was filled with passion
Until you took it all for granted
And now comes as no surprise
Tonight there's trouble in paradise

So you bury yourself in work
It keeps your mind off how much it hurts
'cause there's no love left at home
Even when he's with you, you're still alone
You want to reach out
But you don't know where to start
It's easier not to talk at all

Day by day
You keep pretending that nothing's wrong
But you're just deceiving yourself
You've been indifferent way too long
Oh, don't you know
Once your heart was filled with passion
Until you took it all for granted
And now comes as no surprise
Tonight there's trouble in paradise

You want to reach out
But you don't know where to start
It's easier not to talk at all

Once your heart was filled with passion
Until you took it all for granted
And now it comes as no surprise
Tonight there's trouble in paradise


9.Words

Words, they don't mean nothing
So tell me why they hurt so much
I meant to tell you something
It was on the tip of my tongue

Words rush by so quickly
And it's too late to take them back
I tried to say i'm sorry
And that goodbye was just an act

But all my words got in the way
And all the things i meant to say
Were not the things you heard
Oh, why'd you have to go
And take me at my word

Words come back to haunt you
Yeah, they just keep hanging around
I still can hear the echo
I still can hear their angry sound

But all my words got in the way
And all the things i meant to say
Were not the things you heard
Oh, why'd you have to go
And take me at my word

Words can say i love you
Oh, words can break a heart
I should have stopped you leaving
And told the truth right from the start

But all my words got in the way
And all the things i meant to say
Were not the things you heard
Oh, why'd you have to go
And take me at my word


10.You Keep On Lovin' Me

I don't know how you do it
I swear you act just like there's nothing to it
And you do it so naturally

And i don't know how you take it
Sometimes i'm not so sure we're gonna make it
But you keep your faith in me

Oh there are nights we lose the touch
And days that come and go so fast
And times that it takes all we got
To try and make the feeling last

But you keep on lovin' me
You keep on lovin' me

And i know i've hurt you sometimes
Thoughtlessly i call you names and criticize
But you take it all in stride
Oh yeah, still you come around
Though i know there've been times i've let you down
But here you stand< by my side

Oh there are nights we lose the touch
And days that come and go so fast
And times that it takes all we got
To try and make the feeling last

But you keep on lovin' me
You keep on lovin' me
