Chemistry
Girl:
I could feel my heart strings pulling,
a mutual attraction growing,
but he’s sitting with a girl who’s concerns were showing.
Guy:
I could see some dark hair flowing, bright eyes across the room glowing, too bad neither one of us came alone.
Girl:
I couldn’t help it made me wonder,
what kind of circumstance they’re under...
what’s a country boy do’n with a girl from the city?
Pre-Chorus:
I was looking at you,
you were looking at me,
thinking about the same thing...
Guy:
what’ll it take to reel you in?!
Girl:
Honey you’re killing me,
step on the floor and let’s dance!
Chorus:
Get on the dance floor,
show me more,
honey what d’ya got in store this evening?
Pay the tab, call the cab,
baby I’ll make you glad you’re dancing with me!
But she’s with you, and he’s with me,
but baby together we got The Chemistry!!
Girl:
I love this song, ya it gets me move’n,
in these comfy boots I could dance till Tuesday,
but my date don’t have a clue how to boogie!
Guy:
I'll finish this beer and maybe get going,
kinda late, gotta work in the mornin,
but date ain’t the woman I wanna take home!
Guy:
I couldn’t help but look on over,
Oh my she’s waving me to her!
Wonder if he’ll lead me round the dance floor?

Girl:
Pre-Chorus:
I was looking at you,
you were looking at me,
thinking about the same thing...
Guy:
What’ll it take till you give in?!
Girl:
Honey you’re killing me,
step on the floor and let’s dance!
Chorus:
Out on the dance floor,
will show us more,
of maybe what’s in store this evening!
Pay the tab, call the cab,
Baby I’ll make you glad you’re leaving with me!
But she’s with you, and he’s with me,
but baby together we got The Chemistry!

Everything But Me
We lived out on the water in a house that I bought, got you a camero that just sat out on the lot. Dressed you in designer jeans,
took you out on shopping sprees,
let you drive the good truck and left the beater for me.
I thought the way to love you was to give you all I had,
well you gladly took the good life while you left me broke and sad. Even though my love was blind, now I plainly see,
you took, you stole, and now you have everything but me.
Dear James thanks for the lesson now, your gone, I guess it’s for the best. Chin-up, must be on my way.
This heart has a confession,
it’s coldest when you loose the passion,
you were just one long bad day.
And you took everything, everything but me.
Brought in all the money while you went out and played,
did the dirty work, the cooking, made sure the beds were all made. Never should have put you on the deed, your loving stopped day. When I held the letter in my hands I knew you planned it all that way!
Dear James thanks for the lesson now, your gone, I guess it’s for the best. Chin-up, must be on my way.
This heart has a confession,
it’s coldest when you loose the passion, you were just one long bad day.
N you took everything, everything but me!
“Guess you had me figured from the first day we met, just a naive country girl you took for all you could get. No matter what you took from me,
I hope you finally see... you got it all babe!
You got everything but me!”
Dear James thanks for the lesson now, your gone, I guess it’s for the best. Chin-up, must be on my way.
This heart has a confession,
it’s coldest when you loose the passion,
you were just one long bad day.
And you took everything, everything but me.
I never use the microwave anyway... whatever, take the power tools, bought that bed for your daughter anyway...
Everything But Me

Found Out Through You
If I wait any longer,
I won’t have to wonder,
cause I found through you
what you could and couldn’t do...
found out I was made of
everything you were missing.
Time has only made fun of
what I thought I saw in you.
Could the hours get any longer,
I lay in bed an wonder.
There’s a pain when we slumber
you don’t love me anymore.
It’s when I want you the most,
I realize your a ghost,
but my tears have got softer,
forgot what I was crying for.
No longer look for my touch,
we used to cuddle kiss n blush.
I know I’ll never get back,
that man so full of love and lust.
I try to focus on our family,
but a ghost can’t be daddy.
Thought you’d love me through the bad days,
but it’s not in you to do!
Could the hours get any longer,
I lay in bed an wonder.
There’s a pain when we slumber,
you don’t love anymore.
It’s when I want you the most,
I realize your a ghost,
but my tears have got softer,
forgot what I was crying for.
I found out through you
what you could and couldn’t do...
time surely changed,
what I thought I saw in you... mmmmmhmmmmmm
Could the hours get any longer,
I lay in bed an wonder.
There’s a pain when we slumber
love don’t live here anymore.
It’s when I want you the most,
I realize your a ghost,
but the pain has got softer,
I don’t love you anymore… mmmm anymore…

If Any Cock’ll Do…
If any cock’ll do… honey wouldn’t I still be with you?
Verse:
I used to think that you were special,
Yeah, whatever.
You chased me so long that I believed,
Stupid me,
And I should’ve known better than to fall in love with you,
Cause birds of a feather and fair-weather all turned out to be true
Chorus:
But, if any cock’ll do… honey wouldn’t I still be with you?
Your sticks n stones may break me
But those words you said broke my heart in two!
Verse:
My self-esteem sure took a beat’n
With your cheat’n
Wondered for so long what I was doing wrong,
It’s my fault?
You said you wanna let me in and love me,
but you can’t live with my history of sin?!
Chorus
Verse:
I sure as hell don’t feel guilty, it’s my life!
And all past experience made me feel alive!
You talk a big game crying nice guys finish last,
But honey you’re not a nice guy and I guess I’ll be laughing last…
Chorus:

The Fairy Tale
Ever since I was a little girl back home
I believed in fairytales...
Like the love between my mom n dad. Happy ever endings were a daily routine didn’t matter who was wrong or right
all threw the good times and the bad.
As I grew older and I struck out on my own,
I learnt not everyone came from a happy home!
Even thought the time might slip by, my heart still believes,
there’s a fairytale ending,
written for you and me.
I know you’re out there somewhere the feeling can’t be wrong.
Can’t wait for you to find me darlin maybe you’ll hear this song.
My Daddy told me wait,
when you’re a little bit older
than you’ll find the one.
You’ll know when Mr. Right comes along. He’ll tap on the shoulder like a movie scene and we’ll float up to the sun.
It’s gonna hit me like a bomb!
So many lovers who didn’t know how to love,
I was chasing hollow hearts, but now I’ve had enough.
Even thought the time might slip by, my heart still believes,
there’s a fairytale ending,
written for you and me.
I know you’re out there somewhere the feeling can’t be wrong.
Can’t wait for you to find me darlin maybe you’ll hear this song.
Now that I’m older and I face it all alone, you’re the only thing missing baby,
so hurry yourself along!
Even thought the time might slip by, my heart still believes,
there’s a fairytale ending,
written for you and me.
I know you’re out there somewhere
The Fairy Tale
the feeling can’t be wrong.
Can’t wait for you to find me darlin maybe you’ll hear this song.
My heart still believes... there’s a fairytale ending baby, for me...!

Atonement
Had to get out of the house
Had to get me to the water,
Cause I’m killing myself slowly, with these habits,with these choices.
There’s a light that’s still inside me
It says I’m meant for more,
And it’s telling me to sing, that I’ve gotta find my voice.
Fall to my knees at the river and pray,
Pray for my spirit
I pray The Lord saves me.
I been singing Hallelujah, since I walked out my door.
Wondering lost, while I’m reaching out for saving.
I took a walk out to the trees... let my clothes off in the breeze.
I been singing Hallelujah since I walked out my door.
There’s a light that’s still inside me, that says I’m meant for more.
Put my life in your hands, I’ll abide by your will, I will follow your plans.
In the forest I breath slowly in the air,
To purify my body
And breath out all my cares.
The grass beneath my feet is soft, settles all my fears.
Feel the earth that heals me, wind answering my prayers.
I took a walk out to the trees... let my clothes off, in the breeze.
I been singing Hallelujah since I walked out my door there’s a light that’s still inside me,
that says I’m meant for more!
OHHH OOOhhh Lord!
Put my life in your hands
I’ll abide by your will
I will follow your plans
hooo hooo hoooohaaaaaaaahaaaaaa
I took a walk out to the trees, let my clothes off in the breeze…
I was singing Hallelujah when I walked out my door
There’s a light that’s still inside me
That says I’m meant for more!
Fall to my knees... yaaah! Singing Hallelujah!
Since I walked out that door... Singing Hallelujah!

Born To Love You
Verse:
I drive by and catch a glimpse, of my handsome man,
And my first thought is, are you smiling?
Cause it’s your happiness, that’s first on my list,
Not just your woman, but a friend you can believe in!
Chorus:
I was Born to Love You x3
… like I do…
I was Born to Love You x3
… like I do…
Verse:
I may have been lost, or maybe just dreaming,
Till you came along and gave my life meaning.
We work hard, life is crazy! Fights, make-ups, babies…
Still a smiling face, cause you always save me.
Chorus
Verse:
Yes it’s your happiness
That’s first on my list,
More than my best friend,
But a man that I believe in!

And Then Our Love Will Shine
Verse:
In the cold of winter, when frost is in the air
The night goes on forever with sadness and despair.
Your mind’s a pit of darkness with shades of stinge and gloom
The house seems sadly empty, the bedroom like a tomb.
Chorus:
When your love has left you wondering if the sun will yet peek through
Hoping for tears and hugging, I’m sorry's and I missed you’s
Let’s start our lives all over, and ok I wanna try’s
We can leave it all babe so that our love can shine.
(Let’s leave the past behind us, so that our love can shine)
Verse:
Springs around the corner, in comes the cell phone chime,
He’s waiting on the footpath, and you pray the sun will shine.
Soon it’s nearly summer, the days are warm and bright,
the house no longer empty, at least every other night.
Chorus
Verse:
We may not be there yet, to play our final scenes,
Our happy ever after, has so much in between,
But we see the path before us, and with your hand in mine,
We’ll make a life together, and then our sun will shine!
Chorus

Mercury To Mars
Saw you through the stage light.... the evening before last.
Kept my eyes on you all night,
as time flickered past.
Every where you went lady, you were with me in my mind. And everything I did
was just to make you realize.
Beautiful lady, with luminous eyes, you and me maybe,
don’t be surprised.
This magical evening,
with the brightest stars. I must be leaving... Mercury to Mars.
I held you in the moon light, morning came to fast.
Kept my arms around you all night, wanted it to last.
Everywhere you go lady, you’ll be with me in my heart. Even if the world believes we’re galaxies apart!
Ohhhhh wooooo ooooh
Beautiful lady, with luminous eyes, you and me maybe,
don’t be surprised.
This magical evening,
with the brightest stars. I must be leaving... Mercury to Mars.
