In the beginning The nights were long Under the moonlight I could do no wrong You told me I was everything you wanted me to be
Then summer was over And the nights grew cold You got restless And hard to hold I tried to be Everything you wanted me to be
Now you keep staring At that open door You got what you wanted And you still want more Well look at me I'm everything you wanted me to be
[Chorus] Well if I don't keep you satisfied You can't say that I haven't tried And if I'm not what you want by now For the life of me I can't see how I'll ever be Everything that you want me to be
In the beginning The nights were long Under the moonlight I could do no wrong Remember me? I was everything you wanted me to be
Read My Mind 작곡:K. Bailey,Melissa Coleman,Todd Moore
A penny for my thoughts you say You want to know what I could be thinking But as I speak the music starts to play And the words just somehow slip away
[Chorus] Read my mind It will tell you that I love you and You're all I ever wanted in a man You'd see how I feel What my head won't let my heart reveal If only you could read my mind
One look from you and look at me I'm trembling like a little girl I tell myself if I can just believe Any day now you'll fall in love with me
[Chorus]
Tell me if you feel the same way I do And tell me that I'm not mistakenly taken with you
You're all I ever wanted in a man You see, all I need is everything you are to me If you could somehow read my mind You would see what I can't seem to say If only you could, if you would read my mind Read my mind
You told me I was one in a million Everything you wanted in this world Every time I turn around I hear tell you paint the town With one of this million other girls
Oh, watcha do to me is not the question I swear I felt the magic from the start I see the promise of a legendary love But I am not about to share your heart
[Chorus] I'd do almost anything just to make you mine But I won't stand in line I won't stand in line waiting for your call I won't take a number, just to take a fall So make up your mind I won't stand in line
Oh, how long do you think that you can handle Keeping all those hearts up in the air Don't you know in time you're bound to stumble And when that day comes it won't be my affair
[Chorus: x 2]
Oh, I won't stand in line I won't stand in line I won't stand in line I'd do almost anything if I could make you mine I won't stand in line I won't stand in line I'd do almost anything if I could make you mine I won't stand in line I won't stand in line I won't stand in line I won't stand in line I'd do almost anything if I could make you mine I won't stand in line
How do you tell someone you're letting go I wish that I could tell you But you're asking me things that I don't know I wish that I could tell you The words that I would say Sound as empty as the way you feel inside While the silence in between Tells me everything that you deny I don't know how to help you I wish that I could tell you How to tell me goodbye
I don't know how you leave it all behind I wish that I could tell you Is it true a heart heals itself with time I wish that I could tell you How do you choose Do you hurt 'em with the truth or with a lie Where do you go to find the courage You know I could never find I don't know how to help you I wish that I could tell you How to tell me goodbye
Where do you turn, where do you go When you've finally reached the end of the road How do you say it I just don't know When it comes to leaving you're on your own
How do you tell someone you're letting go I wish that I could tell you I wish that I could tell you
She can account for all of the men in her past Where they are now, who they married, how many kids they have She knew their backgrounds, family and friends A few she even talks to now and then
But there is one she can't put her fingers on There is one who never leaves her thoughts And she thinks his name was John
A chance meeting, a party a few years back Broad shoulders and blue eyes, his hair was so black He was a friend of friend you could say She let his smile just sweep her away And in her heart she knew that it was wrong But too much wine and she left his bed at dawn And she thinks his name was John
Now each day is one day that's left in her life She won't know love, have a marriage or sing lullabies She lays all alone and cries herself to sleep 'Cause she let a stranger kill her hopes and her dreams
And all her friends say what a pity what a loss And in the end when she was barely hangin' on All she could say is she thinks his name was John She thinks his name was John
Back in 1876 an ol' boy named Bell Invented a contraption that we know so well By the 1950's they were in everybody's home As a crazy little thing they call the telephone Now there's one on every corner, in the back of every bar You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane or in your car
So tell me why, haven't I heard from you Tell me why, haven't I heard from you I say now: Darlin', honey, what is your excuse Why haven't I heard from you
Well there's no problem gettin' to me Baby you can dial direct I got call forwarding and call waiting You can even call collect The service man he told me that my phone is working fine And I've come to the conclusion trouble isn't with my line I'm sure the operator will be glad to put you thru So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you
So tell me why, haven't I heard from you Tell me why, haven't I heard from you I say now: Darlin', honey, what is your excuse Why haven't I heard from you
There better been a flood, a landslide of mud A fire that burns up the wires And a thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud A natural disaster I know nothin' about
So tell me why, haven't I heard from you Tell me why, haven't I heard from you I say now: Darlin', honey, what is your excuse Why haven't I heard from you
So tell me why, haven't I heard from you Tell me why, haven't I heard from you I say now: Darlin', honey, what is your excuse Why haven't I heard from you
Thousands of people Live in this town And I had to run into him When I saw him there On that busy street Those feelings came back again
There was no where to run No where to hide He walked up to me Looked in my eyes
And still The world stood still I couldn't move And all I could feel Was this aching in my heart Saying I loved him Still
He said how've you been It's great to see you again You're really a sight for sore eyes I said I can't complain Oh, I'm doin' fine We talked As the people rushed by
We laughed about old times And all we went through That's when he hugged me And said I've missed you
And still My world stood still I couldn't move And all I could feel Was this aching in my heart Saying I loved him Still
That's when she walked up to him He said this is my wife I gave my best smile But I was dying inside He said we gotta go now It's getting late It was so good to see you And then they walked away
And still My world stood still I couldn't move And all I could feel Was this aching in my heart Saying I loved him Still
She came in lookin' good and lookin' around She's checkin' out every man in the room right now Don't go tellin' her about right or wrong She's been alone way to long
The heart is a lonely hunter With only one desire To find some lastin' comfort In the arms of a lover's fire Driven by a desperate hunger To the dark of the neon light Oh the heart is a lonely hunter When there's no sign of a love in sight
She hears him say "Hey, can I buy you a drink?" And sees the pale white circle where he wears his ring She knows he's dealin' her a dangerous hand The consequences of a one night stand
The heart is a lonely hunter With only one desire To find some lastin' comfort In the arms of a lover's fire Driven by a desperate hunger To the dark of the neon light Oh the heart is a lonely hunter When there's no sign of a love in sight
From somewhere deep inside she tells him no Before she starts to cry she turns to go
The heart is a lonely hunter With only one desire To find some lastin' comfort In the arms of a lover's fire Driven by a desperate hunger To the dark of the neon light Oh the heart is a lonely hunter When there's no sign of a love in sight
I sent you roses, I warned you I would Do all that I could to show you the way that I feel Please, don't say I'm wasting my time I've got nothin' but time so I'll do all that I can to catch That ghost of a chance
[Chorus] The sunlight, the moonlight Are beyond my control And there are stars in the heavens That I'll never hold But if dreams give you power Then I'm strong enough to offer my heart And never give up till you love me Till you love me
I looked in your eyes, so bright and so blue And that's when I knew that you could be mine If good things come to those who will wait Well, I guess I can wait if that's what I have to do Oh, it's worth it for you
Three o'clock in the mornin' And it looks like it's gonna be another sleepless night I've been listening to your dreams and gettin' very low Wonderin' what I can do
Maybe I'm bein' foolish 'Cause I haven't heard you mention anybody's name at all How I wish I could be sure it's me that turns you on Each time you close your eyes I've heard it said that dreamers never lie
You've been talkin' in you sleep Sleeping in your dreams, with some sweet lover Holdin' on so tight lovin' her the way You used to love me Talkin' in your sleep With lovin' on your mind
He said please come to Boston For the springtime I'm stayin' here with some friends And they've got lots of room You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk By a cafe where I hope to be workin' soon Please come to Boston I said no, boy would you come home to me
[Chorus] (And) I said, ramblin' boy Why don't you settle down (Boston, Denver, L.A.) ain't your kind of town There ain't no gold And there ain't nobody like me I'm the number one fan Of the man from Tennessee
He said, please come to Denver With the snowfall We'll move up into the mountains So far we can't be found And throw I love you echos Down the canyons And then lie awake at night Until they come back around Please come to Denver I just said no boy won't you come home to me
[Chorus]
Now that drifter's word Goes round and round And I doubt if it's ever gonna stop But of all the dreams He's lost or found And all that I ain't got He's still needs to lean to Somebody he can sing to
He said please come to L.A. To live forever A California life alone Is just too hard to build I live in a house that Looks out over the ocean And there's some stars That fell from the sky Livin' up on the hill Please come to L.A. I just said no Boy, won't you come home to me
[Chorus]
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee Tennessee
So many times I said it was forever Said our love would always be true Somethin' in my heart always knew I'd be lying there beside him
On my own, On my own, On my own
So many promises never should be spoken Now you know what loving him costs Now you're even talking divorce And you weren't even married
On my own Once again I'm One more time by myself
No one said it would be easy But it once was so easy Well I believe in love now here I stand You wonder why
I'm on my own Why did it end this way On my own This wasn't how it was supposed to be On my own I wish that we could do it all again
So many times I know I could have told you That losing him would cut like a knife He walked out and there went your life I don't want to live without him
On my own This wasn't how it was supposed to end On my own I wish that we could do it all again On my own I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone by myself On my own You've got to find out where you belong again On my own You've got to learn how to be strong again On my own I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone by myself
You've got to find out where you belong again Your heart is saying that it's time again And I know that you're gonna shine again
I know you're tired of being all I ever wanted You no longer feel the love I have for you What happens now, what will I do with all the memories And the dreams of all the things we'll never do
But I won't mention it again I won't think about tomorrow Just let it happen Live each hour day by day But let me tell you before you go, how much I love you Then I won't mention it again I won't mention it again
I feel my life Has reached an early sign of autumn In my heart the leaves are falling, love is cold And everything that once was warm and new is gone now Leaving nothing but this hunger in my soul
Feelin' better Now that we're through Feelin' better 'Cause I'm over you I learned my lesson It left a scar But now I see How you really are
[Chorus] You're no good, you're no good You're no good baby you're no good I'm gonna say it again You're no good, you're no good You're no good baby you're no good
Broke a heart Gentle and true Left a man Over someone like you I'll beg his forgiveness On bended knee But I wouldn't blame him If he said to me
[Chorus]
I'm tellin' you now baby That I'm going my way Forget about you baby 'Cause I'm leaving today
I stood before God, my family and friends And vowed that I'd never love anyone else again Only him
As pure a s my gown of white I stood by his side And promised that I'd love you till the day I died Lord, please forgive me even though I lied 'Cause you're the only one who knows just how hard I tried
I had a ring on my finger and time on my hands The woman in my needed the warmth of a man The gold turned cold in my wedding band It's just a ring on your finger When there's time on your hands
When I add up all the countless nights I cried myself to sleep And all the broken promises you somehow failed to keep He can't blame me
He's the one who left me too many times alone In a three bedroom prison I tried to make a home My love slowly died but the fire inside still burned And the arms of a stranger was the only place left to turn
I had a ring on my finger and time on my hands The woman in my needed the warmth of a man The gold turned cold in my wedding band It's just a ring on your finger When there's time on your hands
Tear drops fell on mama's note When I read the things she wrote She said, we miss you girl We love you come on home Well I didn't have to pack I had it all right on my back Now I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home Cold and tired and all alone Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home
It's hard to tell the state I'm in Where I'm going, where I've been But there's a dream I've been following so long If mama knew the things I've done She'd forgive them everyone But I'm still five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home Cold and tired and all alone Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home
Can't remember when I ate it's just thumb and walk and wait And I'm still five hundred miles away from home If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight But I'm still five hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home Cold and tired and all alone Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home
Mama moved out Daddy sold the house They split up the money And went on their own way
And all the kings horses And all the kings men couldn't put mama and daddy back together again
Starting over again Where should they begin 'Cause they never been out on their own Starting over again Where do you begin When your dreams are all shattered and the kids are all grown And the whole world cries
He got an apartment She moved in with her sisters He's schemin' big deals with one of his friends While she sits at home sortin' out pieces Of left over memories from thirty odd years
Starting over again Where do you begin When you've never been out on your own Starting over again Never any end
What will the neighbors say They're talking talk it's small town news They're fifty years old wrecking up a happy home And this far down the road You find yourself alone Two fools
Starting over again Where do you begin When you've never been out on your own Starting over again Never any end When your dreams are all shattered and the kids are all grown
And all the kings horses And all the kings men couldn't put mama and daddy back together again
Set me free why don't cha baby get out of my life why don't cha baby 'cause you don't really love me You just keep me hangin' on
Why do you keep a comin' around playing with my heart? Why don'tcha get out of my life and let me make a new start? Let me get over you the way you've gotten over me.
Set me free why don't cha baby let me be why don't cha baby 'cause you don't really love me You just keep me hangin' on. You don't really want me you just keep my hangin' on.
You say although we broke up you still wanna be just friends, But how can we still be friends when seeing you only breaks my heart again.
And there ain't nothing I can do about it.
Set me free why don't cha baby, get out of my life why don't cha baby. Set me free why don't cha baby, get out of my life why don't cha baby.
You claim you still care for me but your heart and soul needs to be free, Now that you've got your freedom you wanna still hold on to me. You don't want me for yourself so let me find somebody else.
Why don'tcha be a man about it and set me free, Now you don't care a thing about me You're just using me, Boy, get out, get outta my life and let me sleep at night. 'Cause you don't really love me, You just keep me hanging on. 'Cause you don't really need me,
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin' Cause I've left that girl so many times before.
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin' Off the wall that's all.
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin' She'll turn softly and call my name out low And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her Tho' time and time I try to tell her so She just didn't know I would really go.
