Things Aint Like They Used To Be
(chorus)
Are you wondering why
No one talks any more
And all you hear
Is the cry for war
Are you wondering if
There are people who
Hurt inside the same as you
There are grey-faced men always telling me
Things aint like they used to be
You kids have got no self respect
Wake up old man to your neglectbr> its dog eat dog
Its hand to mouth
Its east and west
Its north and south
Just like you drummed it into me
Things aint like they used to be
Ill tell you why I cant afford
To hang my hopes upon your word
And when Im done, Ill join the queue
And take my chance, no thanks to you
Its in or out
Its stop and go
It isnt what
Its who you know
Ive heard you, now can you hear me
Things aint like they used to be
Ancient rules for ancient men
But this is now and that was then
Dont lay your heavy hand on me
And sink me in your poison sea
Its us and them
Its me and you
Its guessing games
Its what to do
Exactly like you said to me
Things aint like they used to be
(chorus)
Are you wondering why
No one talks any more
And all you hear
Is the cry for war
Are you wondering if
There are people who
Hurt inside the same as you

If Walls Could Talk
(bobby miller)
Well, if things could talk then Im sure youd hear
A lot of things to make you cry my dear
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
Oh, aint you glad [aint you glad]
Aint you glad [glad]
Glad that things dont talk
Now, if shoes could tell where theyve been
When you say youve been visiting a friend
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
He-he-hey, aint you glad [aint you glad]
But aint you glad [glad]
Glad that shoes dont talk
Now, if doors could tell whos turned the knob
When hes away out on his job
If cars could tell whos been inside
And whos been taking you out for a ride
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
Oh, aint you glad [aint you glad]
But aint you glad [glad]
Glad that cars dont talk
In a world of trouble Id be
If things ever told on me
My whole life would be through
cause Im guilty, how about you ?
If things ever talk that way
Aint no telling what they might say
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
Oh, aint you glad [aint you glad]
Aint you glad [glad]
Glad that things dont talk

If I Ain't Got You
Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define whats within
And Ive been there before
But that lifes a bore
So full of the superficial
Chorus:
Some people want it all
But I dont want nothing at all
If it aint you baby
If I aint got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I aint got you, Yeah
Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And thats the only way to prove you love him
and me the world on a silver platter
And wondering what it means
With no one to share
with no one who truly cares for me
Chorus:
Some people want it all
But I dont want nothing at all
If it aint you baby
If I aint got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I aint got you, you, you
Some people want it all
But I dont want nothing at all
If it aint you baby
If I aint got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I aint got you, yeah

He Aint With Me
Calling all these other guys
Im seeing something I didnt before
Is that a new look in your eyes
Now you dont believe that Im asking for more
I saw you walking down the street
With another girl who looks just like me
People always say we look so happy
He took my love but he didnt take me
Chorus
He aint with me he aint with me
He says he loves me but he dont look in my eyes
But Ill take it till its all gone cause
He aint with me but at least Im not alone
You say you laughed with your old girlfriend
Youre doing nothing to encourage the end
I could be charming on long distance too
And if you want Ill make it easier for you
Communication is the key
Interrogation dont work for me
You saw that other guy smiling at me
If you were here I wouldnt act so free
Chorus
He aint with me he aint with me
He says he loves me but he dont look in my eyes
He likes to hold my hand in public
Stranger cant you see he aint with me
He aint with me he aint with me no more
He aint with me he aint with me
Bridge
I guess fate really has my number
Every time you wander away
I reconsider all the time you said youd stay
Chorus
He aint with me he aint with me
He aint with me no more
He likes to hold my hand in public
He aint with me he aint with me
But Ill take it till its all gone cause
He aint with me but at least Im not alone
He aint with me

That Aint Love
You tell me what you think Im feelin, you know why I do what I do
Why should you listen to a word Im sayin, when its already so clear to you
You tell me bout my bad intentions, you doubt the very things I hold true
I can no longer live with your misconceptions, baby all I can say to you, is
Chorus:
That aint love, I believe youve got the wrong emotion
That aint love, at least it doesnt feel like love to me
As long as I say what you wanna hear
Do what you wanna do, be who you want me to be
You think thats love, well baby that aint love to me
Weve got to talk it over sometime, these feelings wont just disappear
Im just gonna keep telling you whats on my mind
Even if its not what you wanna hear
Oooh right now your world and mine are such different places
Through yours I wander lost and confused
And I feel like Im speaking in a different language
And the only words I havent used, are
Chorus
You keep tellin me, you know a place where your life would be better
Youre makin plans long-range
But I dont know how you expect to get there, when you refuse to change

That aint love, oh no, baby that aint love, that aint love

Brand New Man
She never had respect for me
She knew I had a family
But I blame it all on you
She used to be a friend to me
And now I cant stand to see
Her when she comes around
See both of yall let me down
And now its all over town
How could you do me that way?
Now that I got me a brand new man
You cant even understand
Shes been wondering where we stand
I aint got time you can have that man
Now that I got me a brand new home
I dont have to be alone
Got somebody who understands
I got a brand new man
See everything was cool with us
But you took advantage of my trust
Your crossed my faith in you, yes you did
He used to belong to me, how silly could you both be
I knew it all the time
I never thought you would do those things you did
Are you even concerned what I told the kids
(what I told the kids? because I cried yes I cried baby)
Now it dont matter cause baby Im over you
Cant forgive you for the stress you put me through
But what goes around, comes right back around again
Now that I got me a brand new man
You cant even understand
Shes been wondering where we stand
I aint got time you can have that man
Now that I got me a brand new home
I dont have to be alone
Got somebody who understands
I got a brand new man

I Pray
When you hear them talking
Saying things that you dont understand
Just keep on walking
And tell em you dont give a damn!
Dont call me brother, I aint your brother
We need more than crime prevention
We need more than ecstasy
Well be needing police protection
Better keep your hands off me
And I pray, I pray
Ive been on my knees all day
And I pray, I pray
I hear every word you say
Take a look at that cat
Its a game they play with people
Kiss and count the enemy
I dont cry when I feel the tension
I have state security
This aint a revolution
Thats just people talking
Aint a revolution
Say, say it again
If I never get caught
Ill be here all night
Doing things I know aint right
Fifty seven dreams ago
Thats the problem if youre slow
I aint your brother

Aint It Blue?
Done the things I said I would
Some of them were pretty good
Suddenly they changed the game
I only know its not the same no more
I dont know what to do the rules I knew
Aint it sad

Aint it true

The life I live is pretty nice
Of course I had to pay a price
Lots of folks depend on me
Crazy kind of slavery, what for

Why Aint I Running
More info about this song in the song database
I can hear that highway calling
As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder
This is usually goodbye
And yet those words I just cant find here as I hold her
Shes like no other woman
That I have known before
And it aint me to see the morning sun
From this side of the door
Chorus:
Why aint I running, why aint I gone
How does she hold me without holding on
In love or a fight shes stronger than strong
Somethings not right if there aint nothing wrong
Its got me wondering, why aint I running
Why aint I gone
All those words I left behind me
Praying they would never find me and my freedom
But if they stood right here beside me
They would never recognize me for all that shes done
Once happiness was only
Whenever I was on my own
So now why do I feel lonely
Any time that Im alone
Repeat chorus
No, theyve never built a wall that high
Or made a chain that strong
And God aint never made a place
I felt like I belong
Repeat chorus

Found A Cure
I searched all over
Could not find
Someone to hold
Some peace of mind
Yesterday is gone
Nothing else to do
But let it go
Before I lose
All of my hopes
And my dreams
For something that aint real
Things aint always as they seem
Pre chorus
cause theres sunshine
After rain
And after the night comes morning
And in the spring the flowers bloom again
When Im feeling down
Like theres no way out
I know the love I have inside will make it alright
Chorus
And when it feels like Im going crazy
When it feels like Im going insane
When it feels like Im going crazy
Found a cure
To get me through another day
Found a cure
To get me through another day
How many times before have you
Been left alone and you feel confused
Do you have the strength to keep trying
When the walls just keep on closing in
But you got everything that you need
Inside your heart
If you just believe
Things aint always as they seem

If I had to live again, Id change everything,

You say it isnt right, but you say it isnt wrong,
How the hell am I supposed to please everyone.
Tell me what it is that Im supposed to do.
I aint here for everybody, but I aint here for you,
You said it isnt right, but you said it isnt wrong.
I wish somebody could tell me, what it is that Ive done wrong.
The best things in live arent given, these things aint for you and me,
Every time you shout forbidden, makes me wonder what you see.

This is no ordinary soul, that youre destroying,
Not just another life that drifts along with the sands of time.
We tried to show you on your way, but still, you cannot see, youre hurting me
You told too many lies and so it ends, yeah
You tried to touch me, but then I knew your plan,
You tried to take my world away, oh no,
Now I see it, its as clear as day,
No youll never stand a chance, oh no youll never stand a chance.
You tried to lead me, to the land where you keep your lies,
But Ive seen this read before, oh yeah,
There is no reason why I should listen now,
No youll never stand a chance, oh no youll never stand a chance.
So many people tried before, but still I came through stronger than before,
Someone like you will never get through my door no more,
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible.
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible. yeah.
Every lie that you tell you get closer,
Closer to the edge of the cauldron and in to the fire, yeah.
Every life you destroy will return, it will come back and haunt you,
For ever and ever.
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible.
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible. yeah.
This is no ordinary soul that youre destroying,
Not just another life that drifts along with the sands of time.

Dont Worry
Theres no need for you,
Baby,
It aint what you think,
So dont worry,

You remember back in the day when,
We thought it was special,
When we always stayed down,
No matter where we went youd stay in touch,
Two people that were just so in love,
Now you probably aint feelin much,
Like things aint really been the way they used to be,
And you say it seems like I changed,
But Im still the same.

Dont Think Twice, Its Alright
Well it aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It dont matter anyhow
And it aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you dont know by now
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and Ill be gone
Youre the reason Im travelling on
Dont think twice its all right
Well it aint no use in turning on your light, babe
Light Ive never known
Aint no use in turning on the light, babe
Im on the dark side of the road
Wish there was something you could do or say
Something to make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
Dont think twice, its all right
And it aint no use in calling out my name, gal
Like youve never done before
It aint no use in calling out my name, gal
I cant hear you anymore
Im thinking and a wondering, walking down that road
I once loved a woman - a child Im told
Gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul
Dont think twice, its all right
So long, honey-babe
Where i'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word babe
Ill just say, fare thee well
I aint saying you treated me unkind
You couldve done better, but I dont mind
You just kind of wasted my precious time
Dont think twice, its all right

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, theyre red, white and blue
And when the band plays hail to the chief
They point the cannon right at you
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no senators son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate son
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord they dont help themselves
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no millionaires son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate son
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war
And when you ask them how much should we give ?
They only answer more! more! more!
It aint me, it aint me

I Wont Cry For You
So you lie awake and think about tomorrow,
And you try to justify the things youve done,
But theres no one here, to hear your tears falling,
When you turn around, you find out, that youre the lonely one.
And it feels like someones treading on your shadow,
And you always thought that heaven knows for sure,
And it feels like youre drowning, in your tears.
So I wont cry for you, no I aint gonna cry for you,
And I aint gonna lie for you, no I aint gonna cry for you.
Aint gonna cry for you.
So you lie awake and think about the sorrow,
Does it really still the fears in your mind,
And you try to realise the things you wanted,
But you take it all for granted and now it makes you blind.
And it feels like someones treading on your shadow,
And you always thought that heaven knows for sure,
And it feels like youre drowning, in your tears.
So I aint gonna cry for you, no I aint gonna die for you,
And I aint gonna lie for you, no I aint gonna cry for you.
Aint gonna cry
I aint gonna cry for you, I aint gonna cry.
So I aint gonna cry for you, no I aint gonna die for you,
No I aint gonna lie for you, no I aint gonna cry for you,
Aint gonna cry, aint gonna cry for you no more,
Aint gonna die, I aint gonna die for no more,
