1.I Just Wanna Be Mad
Last night we went to bed not talkin',
'Cause we'd already said too muh.
I faced the wall, you faced the window.
Bound and determined not to touch.
We've been married seven years now.
Sometimes it feels like 21.
I'm still mad at you this mornin'.
Coffee's ready if you want some.
I've been up since five, thinkin' bout me and you.
And I've got to tell you the conclusion I've come to.
I'll never leave, I'll never stray.
My love for you will never change.
But I ain't ready to make up.
We'll get around to that.
I think I'm right, I think you're wrong.
I'll prob'ly give in before long.
Please don't make me smile.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
Well, now you might as well forget it.
Don't run your fingers through my hair.
Yeah, that's right, I'm bein' stubborn.
No, I don't wanna go back upstairs.
I'm gonna leave for work without a goodbye kiss.
But as I'm drivin' off, just remember this.
I'll never leave, I'll never stray.
My love for you will never change.
But I ain't ready to make up.
We'll get around to that.
I think I'm right, I think you're wrong.
I'll prob'ly give in before long.
Please don't make me smile.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
I'll never leave, I'll never stray.
My love for you will never change.
But I ain't ready to make up.
We'll get around to that.
I think I'm right, I think you're wrong.
I'll prob'ly give in before long.
Please don't make me smile.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
2.Three Mississippi
I used to believe that things would change but here we go again.
Riding a spinning carousel this circle never ends.
This kitchen table has seen it all before.
These walls are tired of standing, can hold us anymore.
1 Mississippi I close my eyes.
2 Mississippi I begging you that we can still survive.
3 Mississippi no lookin？back, gone for good and I know that
I won change my mind, oh, 3 Mississippi is where I at tonight.
We e all out of second chances and all out of one more times.
There not a word we haven said nothing we have not tried.
My bones are aching from the weight I holding down.
I took all that I taking, I breaking, breaking down.
1 Mississippi I close my eyes.
2 Mississippi I begging you that we can still survive.
3 Mississippi no lookin？back, gone for good and I know that.
I won change my mind, oh yeah, 3 Mississippi is where I at
tonight.
Hold my breath, close my eyes.
Goodbye.
Woah,
1 Mississippi I close my eyes.
2 Mississippi I begging you that we can still survive.
3 Mississippi no lookin？back, gone for good and I know that.
I won change my mind, no I won change my mind, 3 Mississippi is
where I at tonight.
3 Mississippi
3 Mississippi
3.Pain To Kill
I'm sittin in traffic for the 5th year in a row
waistin my time
just to get where I don't even wanna go
I started jotin things down
on a Crispy Cream sack
Everything I do. . .
If I could leave this place and never look back
CHORUS：
I wanna do it all
visit Paris in the fall
watch the Yankees play ball
I wanna take it all in
catch a few beads down at Mardi Gras
start a tradition
lay down the law
I wanna do it all
I wanna drink Tequila down in Teowanna
say 'Why not'
when somebody sais 'Hey do ya wanna？'
I wanna get my heart broke once or twice
settle down with the love of my life
rock little babys to sleep at night
REPEAT CHORUS
I wanna spend a day every now and then
just doin what I wanna do when I wanna do it
(I wanna do it all) anytime I wanna do it
(I wanna do it all)
REPEAT CHORUS
See Niagra falls
fight City Hall
feel good in my skin
beatin the odds with my back to the wall
Try to rob Peter without payin Paul
I wanna do it all
I wanna do it all
I wanna do it all
4.I Just Called To Say Goodbye
Boy, I didn't mean to wake you.
I'm ok, yeah everything's all right.
I'm in a phone booth outside of Denver,
I drove all night.
Well, I would've called you sooner,
But I knew you'd talk me out of this.
I've had a lot of miles to do some thinkin',
Now it all-makes perfect sense.
No I haven't changed my mind,
I just called to say goodbye.
You should see this mountain sunrise,
It looks just the way I dreamed.
I got my map of Colorado in the seat right next to me.
If it ain't packed in this ol' Plymouth,
It's better left behind.
I just called to say goodbye.
Boy, you know I'm gonna miss you....,
But we both know it's for the best.
We just can't keep usin' each other,
As a safety net.
I bet someday your gonna thank me.
When you finally get a taste of true love.
Baby, what we had was pretty good,
Just not enough.
So here's to tears we'll never cry,
I just called to say goodbye.
You should see this mountain sunrise,
It looks just the way I dreamed.
I got my map of Colorado in the seat right next to me.
If it ain't packed in this ol' Plymouth,
It's better left behind.
I just called to say goodbye.
If it ain't packed in this ol' Plymouth,
It's better left behind.
I just called to say goodbye
I just called to say goodbye.
5.I Wanna Do It All
Lyricist：Richard C Giles, Gilles Goddard, James Timothy Nichols
I'm sittin' in traffic for the fifth year in a row
Wastin' my time just to get where I don't even wanna go
I started jauntin' things down on a crispy creme sack
Everything I'd do if I could leave this place
And never look back
I wanna do it all, visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankee's play ball, I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition lay down the law
I wanna do it all
I wanna drink Tequila down in Tijuana
Say, 'Why I'm not' when somebody says, 'Hey do you wanna？'
I wanna get my heart broke once or twice
Settle down with the love of my life
Rock little babies to sleep at night
I wanna do it all, visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankee's play ball, I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition lay down the law
I wanna do it all
I wanna stand today, every now and then
Just doin' what I wanna do
When I wanna do it
(I wanna do it all)
Anytime I wanna do it
(I wanna do it all)
I wanna do it all, visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankee's play ball, I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition lay down the law
I wanna do it all
See Niagara Falls, fight City Hall
Feel good in my skin
Beatin' the odds with my back to the wall
Tryin' to rob Peter without payin' Paul
I wanna do it all, I wanna do it all
I wanna do it all
6.The One You Love
He sais it's none of my damn business
how much he drinks
and he doesn't have a problem
no matter what the whole town thinks
At his baby's birthday party
there was whiskey on his breath
everybody wants to save him
but he's not ready yet
CHORUS：
You wanna scream
you wanna cry
you want someone to tell you why
all the hope that's in your heart is not enough
You hit your knees
you shake your fists
oh, it's the deepest wound there is
when you can't help the one you love
Her sister reads the bible
her father sits and snores
there with her every minute
cause they may not have many more
She was dancin in New Orleans
only seven weeks ago
life may go on without her
but not the life we know
REPEAT CHORUS
When someone's slippin away
right before your eyes
How useless we are
is a painful surprise
REPEAT CHORUS
When you can't help the one you love
7.Almost Gone
Caught between a rock and a heartache
in the middle of here and torn in-two
not sure which road that I'll take
on my way to over you
Maybe I'll get lost in the past
maybe I'll get past the loss
either way, with or without you
I'm takin off
CHORUS：
Now that my wheels are turnin
I know I can get there on my own
Now that my fears are burnin
I'm almost gone
closer to where I'm headed
findin my way wont take me long
I may not be there yet
but I'm almost gone
What if I get stuck in a memory...
get there and I can't turn back around
no such thing as the wrong direction
no tellin just where I'm bound
REPEAT CHORUS
Gonna go as far as I can see
even if it's right in front of me
and I'll know that's where I need to be
(where I need to be)
REPEAT CHORUS
Almost gone
Almost gone
8.Working Girl
Martha in the mornin
Oprah in the afternoon
weddings in the garded
have a makeover too
watchin TV on a sick day
tell me 'What's it mean to you？'
CHORUS：
They think I'm out of touch
but they don't know much
about my world
Got a wing and a prayer
and a job on the line
and there ain't no time
for a workin girl
Well, they say they represent me
in the fashion magazines
Well, honey all I see
is these girls don't look like me
Tell me 'What's it like to be rich. . .
and barely seventeen？'
REPEAT CHORUS
Starry nights on the beach
for worlds within my reach
but they don't take american express
REPEAT CHORUS
A workin girl
Got a wing and a prayer
and a boss and a job on the line
a workin girl
I'm a workin girl
9.Better Than You
At a table for two with a romantic view,
He said：'There's somethin' that you need to know.
'I don't usually date, so if I hesitate,
'It's that I'm takin' it slow.'
He said：'Darlin', I don't want to hurt you,'
As he gently reached out for her hand.
She laughed as she picked up her menu,
And said： 'Mister, you don't understand.
'I've been loved, I've been left.
'I've been wronged by the best.
'I've had hopes that were shattered in two.
'I've heard promises spoken,
'I've had dreams left so broken,
'There was no chance they'd ever come true.
'It ain't easy to see by looking at me,
'But there's no hell I haven't walked through.
'If you're worried, that's fine,
'But this heart of mine's,
'Been broken by better than you.'
When dinner was done, she said： 'I had fun.'
As they walked to her door, he smiled.
'He said： 'It's only ten, could I come in？
'Maybe we could just talk for a while.'
She said： 'Honey, I know what you're after,
'And as much as I'd like you to stay.
'Nothing good ever lasted,
'When it gets started that way.'
'I've been loved, I've been left.
'I've been wronged by the best.
'I've had hopes that were shattered in two.
'I've heard promises spoken,
'I've had dreams left so broken,
'There was no chance they'd ever come true.
'It ain't easy to see but take it from me,
'There's no hell I haven't walked through.
'An' I won't cross that line,
''Cause this heart of mine's,
'Been broken by better than you.'
'No I won't cross that line,
''Cause this heart of mine's,
'Been broken by better than you.'
10.Not A Bad Thing
I'm sittin' in this cafe,
People talkin' so loud I can't hear myself think.
That's not a bad thing.
The coffee keeps on coming,
The waiter who keeps smilin' as I'm ridin' on a river of
caffeine,
An' that's not a bad thing.
I used to feel sorry for someone like me,
In a corner booth pretendin' to read on a Friday night.
I used to say： 'It just ain't right.'
How could anybody ever have any fun,
Without somebody, without someone？
It never dawned on me,
The possibility,
That it's not a bad thing.
Those naggin' thoughts about you,
How I left without you tonight：
You know, they're few and far between.
The waiter's name is Joey, he told me,
And that's when I noticed he ain't wearing any ring.
An' that's not a bad thing.
And there is a tug on the edge of my heart,
It's you again sayin'： 'Don't you start lettin' go of me.'
But I ain't listenin'.
For once in my life, I'll feel what I feel,
Let it be, let it be real.
Let it flow through me,
An' wash me clean.
That's not a bad thing.
As I'm drivin' home, I'm thinkin',
The worst might be over,
Or maybe I'm a little bit naive.
But the street lights seem brighter,
As I walk to my front door,
And I'm all alone when I turn the key.
An' that's not a bad thing.
I used to feel sorry for someone like me,
In a corner booth pretendin' to read on a Friday night.
I used to say： 'It just ain't right.'
How could anybody ever have any fun,
Without somebody, without someone？
It never dawned on me,
The possibility,
That it's not a bad thing.
11.The First To Fall
I've had love and love's had me
I've been held and been set free
And I have lived enough to know
That you might stay or you might go
So here I am one more time
Call me brave call me blind
I'm gonna count to 3
I'm gonna hold my breath
Try not to be afraid
Tho it scares me half to death
I'm out here on a limb
Altho I know that it might break
My heart is gonna want you anyway
And if this love has any chance at all
Someone's gotta be the first to fall
The best is just a touch away
We'll make forever day by day
It'd be a shame to let this go
How sad to think we'd never know
How the morning light would fall on us
After we make all night in love
I'm gonna count to 3
I'm gonna hold my breath
Try not to be afraid
Tho it scares me half to death
I'm out here on a limb
Altho I know that it might break
My heart is gonna want you anyway
And if this love has any chance at all
Someone's gotta be the first to fall
So here I am one more time
Call me brave call me blind
I'm gonna count to 3
I'm gonna hold my breath
Try not to be afraid
Tho it scares me half to death
I'm out here on a limb
Altho I know that it might break
My heart is gonna want you anyway
And if this love has any chance at all
Someone's gotta be the first to fall
12.God And Me
Sun's comin' up on a Sunday mornin'.
I'm lookin' out the window at a beautiful view.
Turn on the TV an' somebody's talkin',
'Bout the wrong and the right and the ultimate truth.
I listen for a minute but my heart is somewhere else,
'Cause I've got my own convictions but I keep them to myself.
When I feel the world around me,
How can I not believe？
If I'm high up on a mountain,
Or down on my knees,
It's just between God and me.
Secrets I've been holding.
Tears cried, nobody else sees.
Sometimes I'm alone,
But I know there's somebody watching over me.
There's so much I'm afraid of an' I'm really not that strong.
But there's one place I can go to where all the fear is gone.
When I feel the world around me,
How can I not believe？
If I'm high up on a mountain,
Or down on my knees,
It's just between God and me.
Every picture's painted differently.
Every one has got a vision in their mind.
That fills the heart with answers,
And the missin' piece that we hope to find.
And this is mine.
When I feel the world around me,
How can I not believe？
If I'm high up on a mountain,
Or down on my knees.
When I feel the world around me,
How can I not believe？
If I'm high up on a mountain,
Or down on my knees,
It's just between God and me.
God and me.
It's just between God and me.
