The Band Perry Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Done (Single)

You've been wearing that crown and tearing me down
It's been a while since you've treated me right
You strung me along for far too long cause I never gave up the
fight
Until now

It's gonna hit you hard 'til you see stars
It's gonna put through you a world of hurt
Oh I don't believe in getting even but giving what you deserve
Oh my, oh my

Mama always told me that I should play nice
She didn't know you when she gave me that advice
I'm through, with you
You're one bridge I'd like to burn
Bottle up the ashes, smash the urn
I'm through with you, la di da
I don't wanna be your just for fun,
Don't wanna be under your thumb
All I wanna be is done
Done

You crossed the line too many times,
I'm gonna put you in your place
You play with dynamite, don't be surprised when I blow up in
your face
Oh my, oh my

Mama always told me that I should play nice
She didn't know you when she gave me that advice
I'm through, with you
You're one bridge I'd like to burn
Bottle up the ashes, smash the urn
I'm through with you, la di da
Don't wanna be part of for fun,
Don't wanna be under your thumb
All I wanna be is done

(Done) With your selfish ways
(Done) And all the games you play
I'm through with you and everything you say

Mama told me that I should play nice
She didn't know you when she gave me that advice

Mama always told me that I should play nice
But she didn't know you when she gave me that advice
I'm through, with you
You're one bridge I'd like to burn
Bottle up the ashes, smash the urn
I'm through with you, la di da
I don't wanna be your just for fun,
Don't wanna be under your thumb
All I wanna be is done
All I wanna be is done
Oh

Hey hey ooh,
I wanna be done (so done)
So done (so done)
So done


2.Better Dig Two (Single)

I told you on the day we wed
I was gonna love you 'til I's dead
Made you wait 'til our wedding night
That's the first and the last time I wear white

So if the ties that bind ever do come loose
Tie them in a knot like a hangman's noose
Cause I'll go to heaven or I'll go to hell
Before I'll see you with someone else

Put me in the ground
Put me six foot down
And let the stone say:

Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much
If you go before I do
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two

Well,
It won't be whiskey, won't be meth
It'll be your name on my last breath
If divorce or death ever do us part
The coroner will call it a broken heart

So put me in the ground
Put me six foot down
And let the stone say:

Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much
If you go before I do
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two

Dig two
Ooh, ooh

I took your name when I took those vows
I meant 'em back then and I mean 'em right now,
Oh, right now

If the ties that bind ever do come loose
If forever ever ends for you
If that ring gets a little too tight
You might as well read me my last rights

And let the stone say:

Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much
If you go before I do
Gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig, uh!

Heavy stone right next to mine,
We'll be together 'til the end of time
Don't you go before I do,
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two

I told you on the day we wed
I was gonna love you 'til I's dead


3.Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list, he's checking it twice
He's gonna find out
Who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows when you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

So, you better watch out
You better not cry, you better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

Little tin horns, little toy drums
Rudy-toot-toot
And rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is coming to town

Little toy dolls that cuddle and coo
Elephants, boats
And kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is coming to town

The kids in Girl and Boy Land
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland town
All around the Christmas tree

Oh, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is comin', Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin' to town


4.Quittin' You (EP)

I don't know what I was thinking'
You were no good but you could do some fancy talkin'

I'm not your Trixie Delight
Or a gumball machine
You can keep your quarter man
'Cause you won't get nothing sweet out of me

I'm quittin' quittin' quittin'
I'm quittin' you
Like a girl wants her chocolate, yeah
I know that I'll miss you
But I'm quittin' quittin' quittin'
I'm not kiddin' I'm kickin' you
'Cause you're my bad habit and
I'm quittin' you

I don't know what the heck you were thinkin'
It's gonna gonna take a better man,
I'm bettin', to win my hand

I'm not gonna play your game
I don't like the high stakes
I'd rather sit alone at home
Playin' one more round of old Maid

I'm quittin' quittin' quittin'
I'm quittin' you
Like a gambler leaving Vegas, boy
I know that I'll miss you
But I'm quittin' quittin' quittin'
I'm not kiddin' I'm kickin' you
'Cause you're my bad habit and I'm quittin'

Cold turkey, giving you the cold shoulder
Off like a band-aid
One quick sting, then it's over

I'm quittin' quittin' quittin'
I'm not kiddin' I'm kickin' you
'Cause you're my bad habit
And the good lord won't have it
You're my bad habit and I'm quittin' you

6.If I Die Young (EP)

if i die young,
bury me in satin,
lay me down on a,
bed of roses,
sink me in the river,
at dawn,
and send me away with the words of a love song...

i'll shine it on my mother,
she'll know im safe with you,
when she stands under my colours,
oh, and
sometimes life isn't what it outta be,

the sharp knife of a short life...

i've never known the loving of a man,
but it,
sure felt nice when he was holding my hand...

the sharp knife of a short life
,well,

a penny for my thoughts?

7.Postcard From Paris (EP)

I remember when my heart caught the fever*
You were standing all alone in the summer heat
I was with my boyfriend, new boyfriend
He was as sweet as he could be
One look at you and I was through
My heart switched up on me

Like a postcard from Paris
When I've seen the real thing
It's like finding out your diamond
Is from an old promise ring
Coming back from your fortune teller
She read your cards upside down
The meanest thing you ever did is come around
And now I'm ruined
(I'm ruined)

In the evening you can catch me daydreaming
Did that moment send you reeling just like me
I should've gone over, right over
I should've never let you leave
But it's the never knowing that keeps this going
And drives me crazy

Like a postcard from Paris
When I've seen the real thing
It's like finding out your diamond
Is from an old promise ring
Coming back from your fortune teller
She read your cards upside down
The meanest thing you ever did is come around

Just when I thought things were alright
My eyes played tricks on my mind
Will I ever be satisfied
'Cause all I ever seem to find

Is a postcard from Paris
When I need the real thing
It's like finding out your diamond
Is from an old promise ring
Coming back from your fortune teller
She read your cards upside down
The meanest thing you ever did
The cruelest thing you ever did
The meanest thing you ever did is come around

I am ruined
I'm ruined
I am ruined
I am ruined

Yeah, yeah


8.All Your Life (EP)

Would you walk to the edge of the ocean*
Just to fill my jar with sand
Just in case I get the notion to let it run through my hand
Let it run through my hand

Well, I don't want the whole world, the sun and moon and all
their light
I just want to be the only girl,
You love all your life,
You love all your life

Would you catch a couple thousand fireflies , yeah,
Put them in a lamp to light my world all dressed up in tux and
bow tie and delivered to a Lonely girl, to lonely,lonely girl

Well, I don't want the whole world, the sun and moon and all
their light
I just want to be the only girl, You love all your life, You
love all your life

Lately I've been writing desperate love songs, and mostly
singuing them to the wall
You could be the center piece of my obsession, If would noticed
me at all

Well, I don't want the whole world, the sun and moon and all
their life
I just want to be the only girl, You love all your life, You
love all your life
You love all your life, life, yeah
