The Wilkinsons Shine Lyrics
1.I Wanna Be That Girl

(walt aldridge/brad crisler)

You say you wanna be in love
But you're just not sure enough
To let your heart get in too deep
You wanna play it smart with me
Not fall too recklessly
Kinda look before you leap
Well i, i think i'll pass this time
'cause i got somethin' else in mind

When you're ready for the deep end
When you wanna walk the high wire, baby
When you're ready to take a chance
On findin' something real
When you're lookin' for a gambler
A little bit of adventure in your world
Well, i wanna be that girl

I know it's hard to bet
On somethin' you ain't seen yet
When it could be pleasure, it could be pain
I'm lookin' for the kind of heart
To risk it all from the very start
'cause nothing ventured, nothing yet
And i've had it with half-hearted tries
This time i'm not gonna compromise

When you're ready for the deep end
When you wanna walk the high wire, baby
When you're ready to take a chance
On findin' something real
When you're lookin' for a gambler
A little bit of adventure in your world
Well, i wanna be that girl

When you're ready for the deep end
When you wanna walk the high wire, baby
When you're ready to take a chance
On findin' something real
When you're lookin' for a gambler
A little bit of adventure in your world
Well, i wanna be that girl

(when you're ready for the deep end
When you wanna walk the high wire, baby)
When you're ready to take a chance
I wanna be that girl
I wanna be that girl


2.Nobody Ever Died Of A Broken Heart

(terry radigan/kenny greenberg/wally wilson)

No, nobody
Nobody ever died
Of a broken heart
No, nobody
Nobody ever died
Of a broken heart

Must've hit you
Like a hurricane
Now you're swimming
With a ball and chain
Sweet love gone down the drain
Down, down, down
Girl you're looking
Like the walking dead
Need to drag a brush
Across that head
The crack of noon
And you're still in bed
Straighten up, wake up
Put on your make up

Cut his head
Out of every picture
Burn the letters
Where he said his missed ya
All those memories
You can kiss 'em
Bye, bye
When enough
Is for sure enough
Time to shake it out
And shake it up
Get in the middle
Of a great big love
Wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am
Baby here you go again

No, nobody
Nobody ever died
Of a broken heart
No, nobody
Nobody ever died
Of a broken heart


3.Feel

(jeff lysyczyn/ michael hunter ochs)

Love's not supposed
To make you numb
It's okay to have a little fun
The more you contemplate
The more you mess with fate
Just give in and let go
One kiss and you'll know

Whoa
It's like stickin' out your tongue
To catch the raindrops
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoa
It's when you keep on dancin'
Way after the song stops
Na-na-na-na-na
It's not rational, it's magical
How do you know if love is real
You've got to feel
Feel, feel, feel

Forget everything you know
Let your emotions take control
Love is in the air
Can't see it but it's there
Just reach out and have faith
One touch is all it takes

Whoa
It's like stickin' our your tongue
To catch the raindrops
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoa
It's when you keep on dancin'
Way after the song stops
Whoa it's like stayin' up all night
To watch the sunrise
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoa
It's when you laugh so hard
That brings tears to your eyes
Na-na-na-na-na
Not rational, it's magical
How do you know if love is real
You've got to feel


4.I Go Crazy

(paul davis)

Hello boy, it's been a while
Guess you'll be glad to know
That i've learned how
To laugh and smile
Getting over you was slow
Then say old lovers
Can be good friends
But i never thought
I'd really see you again
I'd never see you again

I go crazy, you know
When i look in your eyes
I still go crazy
No my heart just can't hide
That old feeling inside
Way deep down inside
Oh baby
You know
When i look in your eyes
I go crazy

You say she satisfies your mind
Tells you all of her dreams
I know how much
That means to you
I realize that i was blind
Just when i thought
I was over you
I see your face
And it just ain't true
You know it just ain't true

I go crazy, you know
When i look in your eyes
I still go crazy
No my heart just can't hide
That old feeling inside
Way deep down inside
Oh baby
You know
When i look in your eyes
I go crazy


5.I Had A Dream

(mac mcanally)

You look at me
Like it's judgement day
You're full of words
But there's nothing you can say
I should have known
But i could not tell
It's all over, it's just as well

I had a dream you loved me
But i woke up
You wanted everything
But still it wasn't enough
That alarm clock hit me
Like a semi-truck
It was a dream you loved me
But i woke up

You tell me
I'm a stick in the mud
You tell yourself
You're the tennessee stud
It's doesn't really matter
Who's to blame
My heart ain't broke
It's just a little ashamed

I had a dream you loved me
But i woke up
You wanted everything
But still it wasn't enough
That alarm clock hit me
Like a semi-truck
It was a dream you loved me
But i woke up

{you say}
Everybody wants to be free
{i say}
No way you want it more than me
{anyway}
Better off knowing how it's gonna be
I had a dream

I had a dream you loved me
But i woke up
You wanted everything
But still it wasn't enough
That alarm clock hit me
Like a semi-truck
It was a dream you loved me
But i woke up

Just a dream you loved me
But i woke up


6.Never Hold A Candle

(steve wilkinson/ andrew gold)

When i was a young thing
I swore a mustang
Would be my ticket
To the great unknown
Yeah i could see me
Hanging out with royalty
La dulce vida cruisin' monaco

{but sittin' here}
Parked in your driveway
{you're cuddled up}
Right close beside me
{i gotta say}
That this old world
Just ain't thrillin' enough
It could never hold
A candle to love

Way back in grade school
I thought jenny was so cool
We passed each other
Notes in study hall
She was my first kiss
My heart said this must be it
At 13 you think you know it all

{it's nothin' but}
Infatuation
{it didn't last}
Till graduation
{i gotta say}
Jenny parker and a
School boy crush
Could never hold
A candle to love

Love true love knew all along
It would find us
It's such a sweet ride
Just close your eyes
And hold on tight

{but sittin' here}
With you tonight
{just holdin' hands}
Under the moonlight
{one kiss and i}
I can't recall
What i was thinkin' of
But it could never
Hold a candle to love

No it could never hold
A candle to love
It could never hold
A candle to love


7.Outside Providence

(steve wilkinson/amanda wilkinson/ kiaya wilkinson)

She's driving outside providence
She's on the outside lookin' in
She's finally figured out
Just where she's going

Her momma says that she's insane
Her daddy swears a boy's to blame
She's never see the truth
So clear before this

'cause there's a world
Outside providence
Somewhere to spread
Her wings and fly
She's taking chances
Life begins again
Somewhere
Ousted providence

A hula man sits on her dash
Beside a rand mcnally map
She circles places that
She's always heard of

'cause there's a world
Outside providence
Somewhere to spread
Her wings and fly
She's taking chances
Life begins again
Somewhere
Ousted providence

She plans o see the hoover dam
And the world's biggest frying pan
Open to anyplace
Outside rhode island

'cause there's a world
Outside providence
Somewhere to spread
Her wings and fly
She's taking chances
Life begins again
Somewhere
Ousted providence

Some things in life don't last
With pieces of the past
Someday she might be back
But not tomorrow

'cause there's a world
Outside providence
Somewhere to spread
Her wings and fly
She's taking chances
Life begins again
Somewhere
Ousted providence


8.Shine Something Down

(skip ewing/jame dean hicks)

Maybe this is
Where i should be
But all alone
In the middle of life
Doesn't feel right to me
I need something
To excite me
Love and ignite me
Here in the dark
Some answer
To the silence
And a little bit
Of guidance
If it's only a spark

Shine something down
It doesn't have to be the sun
Just a little bit of light
To light the way
(and) turn me around
Lead me to
The right someone
Show me
What i haven't done
I'm ready to be found
Shine something down

Maybe this
Is what i deserve
Maybe all these
Feelings i'm voicing
Just go unheard
But i don't believe that
I believe that
Somewhere out there
There's another
Heart beating
And another
Soul needing
The answer to a prayer

Shine something down
It doesn't have to be the sun
Just a little bit of light
To light the way
(and) turn me around
Lead me to
The right someone
Show me
What i haven't done
I'm ready to be found
Shine something down

Just one small ray of hope
Straight into my heart
And my soul
Shine something down


9.Real Bad Mood

(leslie satcher/don poythress)

Don't play me no
Love songs
I ain't in love today
Don't play me
No train songs
I ain't going away
Don't play me no
Gospel songs
The good lord
Knows the truth
I'm in a real bad mood

Don't play me no
Rock 'n' roll
I don't want to dance
Don't play me no
Hillbilly
I'm too blue for grass
That cheesy easy
Listenin' stuff
Is for elevator fools
I'm in a real bad mood

I'm in a funk, sunk
In a pool of pitiful
I got the mange
I'm a chain (son)
You don't wanna pull
You don't wanna
Cross this old yard dog
If you know what's
Good for you
I'm in a real bad mood

I don't want no
Beans and taters
I ain't got no appetite
And them cold
Store bought tomatoes
Lord it just makes me
Want to fight
Yeah i want to chew
On something
And i ain't just a little uptight
I'm in a real bad mood

I'm in a funk, sunk
In a pool of pitiful
I got the mange
I'm a chain (son)
You don't wanna pull
You don't wanna
Cross this old yard dog
If you know what's
Good for you
I'm in a real bad mood

Yeah i want to chew on something
Honey anybody's ass will do
I'm in a real bad mood
Oh yeah, i am
Don't mess with me
Don't make me open up a can

I'm in a funk, sunk
In a pool of pitiful
I got the mange
I'm a chain (son)
You don't wanna pull
You don't wanna
Cross this old yard dog
If you know what's
Good for you
I'm in a real bad mood


10.Tough Luck

(steve wilkinson/william wallace)

She never planned on
The life she got
Married young
And then she just got caught
Years fly by
When you're raising kids
She's just a carbon copy
Of what her momma did

She was a perfect picture
Of a perfect wife
Out of focus
In her perfect life
So safe, so warm
No hint of danger
Wasting years
With the perfect stranger

But though luck's
The only luck she's known
And tough luck
To build your life on hope
(oh) but she bought the deal
She made the vow
She'd walk away
But she's just too proud
To ever throw in the towel
Tough luck

Convinced herself
That life made perfect sense
Two-car garage
And a while picket fence
Sometimes she feels
Like such a hypocrite
She's just a face in the portrait
And that's about it

But though luck's
The only luck she's known
And tough luck
To build your life on hope
(oh) but she bought the deal
She made the vow
She'd walk away
But she's just too proud
To ever throw in the towel
Tough luck


11.A Little More Love

(jim collins/liz hengber)

They were just
Two lonely people
On this big blue ball
Somehow fate
Brought them together
In the middle of it all
And tonight
They're out there dancing
Spinning 'round
And 'round

And there's a
Little more love
In the world tonight
A little more light
In the stars
A little more grace
In this vast universe
Starting with this
Boy and girl
There's a little more love
In the world tonight (tonight)

The sun will still
Come up tomorrow
Nothing much will change
But for these two
Lonely people
Life will never
Be the same
It may not make
A lot of difference
In the grand design

But there's a
Little more love
In the world tonight
A little more light
In the stars
A little more grace
In this vast universe
Starting with this
Boy and girl
There's a little more love
In the world tonight (tonight)
