Stubborn
Stubborn, stubborn
He was stubborn as a mule.
He refused to budge
in the world so cruel.
'Cause what good would it do,
one step or two?
It would get him nowhere
'cause the word's so cruel.
Stubborn, stubborn.
He was stubborn as a mule.
His eyes were defiant
with fire and fuel.
He'd been born into pain
where no one had cared.
He was alone in the world
but never was he scared.
He was just stubborn.

Talked Me Into It
I'll stand and hold onto
everything I wished for
I'm stubborn, but you talked me into it
You have the key to my mind
I melt in front of you
You turn me on without trying
You talked me into it
And I let you, at that time
I could have believed
anything you said
You ignored me before that night
but I was desperate for your attention
If I was psychic,
woulda wished for anything but you
You talked me into it
Into everything I wished for
I'm stubborn, but you talked me into it
Wondered if you knew I existed
I was enchanted with you
Never felt more forgotten
I'm stubborn, but you laughed
Said, I'll never leave you in the rain
I took your word, let you
Talk me into it
You're the only one that has
enough of me to love
and wish
You talked me into it
Banished me to the back of your mind
after all these years
Never felt more forgotten
I'm stubborn, but
I remember that night
When you talked me into it
But I stood and held onto
everything I wished for
I'm stubborn, but you talked me into it
Stubborn Hearts
Stubborn hearts never learn
They will just keep on breaking
For faithless love they always yearn
Not tired from all the waiting.
Stubborn hearts keep loving
When ears are deaf to words
When eyes are blind to seeing
All the passion it accords.
Stubborn hearts are always true
And realize the matter
This heart is always here for you
And it cannot wait for later.

Stubborn-Hearted
Stubborn-Hearted!
Listen to me when i call;
For my words are thge words of peace,
And like your forgotten land of joy.
Stubborn, born, no stub, tub, sub, but, torn, tons, not, on, son;
And like the ways of your life in the land of your muse!
But try to learn and be better off;
For the shadows of the trees are now behind you! !
Hearted, hate, art, heated, hear, hat, eat, ate, tea, head, tree, are, era;
But with the sounds of the muse of your act!
Hearted, at, had, red, tread, read, dear, deer, reed, tear, ear, heard;
But you are stubborn-hearted! !
And like themuse of your act in the land of your choice;
But life will not go on like this for you always.

They Know That They Don't Know
They know that they don't know!
And their opinions discloses the evidence.
Most of their knowledge has been obtained,
By innuendos and nonsense.
Leaving them exposed,
To an ignorance that shows.
They know that they don't know!
And any actions taken to comprehend...
Becomes entrapped by an inferiority,
Felt within them.
And that which escapes their understanding...
Is left out of their reach.
Although very close...
Are those answers they seek most.
But quick they fold their arms to their chests,
With stubborn hands to express...
Their choice not to hear,
What for them is best!
Declaring they wish not to listen...
Because facts distracts,
A consciousness they lack!
They know that they don't know.
But they want to gossip it.
They know that they don't know.
But they want to gossip it.
They know that they don't know.
But they want to gossip it...
And spread those rumors made to fit,
Those ears that are as limited!
They know that they don't know.
But they want to gossip it.
They know that they don't know.
But they want to gossip it.
They know that they don't know.
But they want to gossip it...
And spread those rumors made to fit,
Those ears that are as limited!
They know that they don't know,
With their minds closed.
They know that they don't know,
With their minds closed.
They know that they don't know,
With their minds closed.
And spread those rumors made to fit,
Those ears that are as limited!
They know that they don't know...
And it shows.
They know that they don't know...
And it shows.
They know that they don't know...
And it shows.
And spread those rumors made to fit,
Those ears that are as limited!
They know that they don't!
Stubborn and they're limited.
They know that they don't!
Stubborn and they're limited.
They know that they don't!
Stubborn and they're limited.
Stubborn and they're limited.
And spread those rumors made to fit,
Those ears that are as limited!

It is better to strive with a stubborn ass than to carry the wood on one's back.
Stubborn
There's a whole lot of stubborn in this room
There's a whole lot of pride that won't let go
There's a whole lot of stubborn in this room
That shows no sign of giving up control
I've drawn all the curtains
I've turned out all the lights
Scared to death somebody else might see
There's a whole lot of stubborn in this room
And there's no one here but me
There's a whole lot of demons in this room
They want it all, and they don't wanna share
There's a whole lot of demons in this room
And none of them believe in fighting fair
Some sit on my left
Some sit on my right
They talk so loud it's hard to disagree
I'm surrounded by the demons in this room
And there's no one here but me
And I can't quite remember how to pray anymore
I can't quite remember what to say anymore
If it turns out that I can't have my way anymore
How will I know which way to turn, when I walk out the door?
There's a molecule of faith in this room
What they used to call the mustard seed
There's a molecule of faith in this room
And a book that says that's all I'll ever need
I don't know where it is, but I hope I find it soon
Cause nothing else will ever set me free
There's a molecule of faith in this room
And even though it's much too small to see,
If I have the courage to believe
I'll find the one who left it here for me
13. Just Someone I Used To Know
Theres a picture that I carry
One we made some time ago
When they ask whos in the picture with me
I say just someone I used to know
Just someone, I used to spend some time with
Just a flame, thats lost its glow
But I dont them of the nights I cried without you
I say just someone I used to know
Just someone, I used to run around with
Just a friend from long ago
I dont tell them, how lost I am without you
I say just someone I used to know
I say just someone I used to know

When I Was Alone
The wind whispers sweet nothings in my ear,
The rain pours down on my head slowly,
Even God sheds an occasional tear.
The body becomes weak,
The mind stays strong,
Lord I am tired,
I can't stand alone for too long,
And then I realize that I am not alone,
God's always been with me,
But I'm just too stubborn to go home,
Just too stubborn to go home.
Life is like a river,
Flowing into death's eternal sea,
Yet I am sure that even though it may be time,
There's still life left for me,
There's still life left for me.
I have been many things in this life,
And I regret not one,
God alone can judge me,
When my time has come.

So Many in Vain, Reasonless Relationships (song)
This was all such vanity,
Without the slightest purpose,
Without a half decent reason.
Like so many others seen today,
Our relationship was a lie.
It took me quite some years,
But I saw right through you,
And all the damaging fibs
You plagued me with throughout.
This, before you stole my innocents.
I was one of the smart,
Or was I one of the strong.
One who wasn’t afraid of you,
Or one that was too stubborn
To live with your unfaithfulness.
So many relationships like ours.
Where she is dealt this affair,
But most are not strong like I.
To leave you in your own despair,
And go about my own peaceful life.
I was one of the smart,
Or was I one of the strong?
One who wasn’t afraid of you,
Or one that was too stubborn
To live with your unfaithfulness.

I Ain't No Quitter
he drinks-he smokes
he'll cuss-he swears-he tells bad jokes
yeah, he ropes-he rides
he lives life fast, and he loves to fight
he's a boozer-a loser
calls me up when he's had too much
a schemer-a dreamer
BRIDGE:
when i tell him to change his ways
he just turns to me and says
"I ain't no quitter."
CHORUS:
No, I ain't givin' up on him just yet
'Cause I'm as stubborn as a girl can get
He won't quit-but you can bet
I'm stickin' to it
I-ain't-I ain't no quitter
he chews-he spits
he flirts too much, and he loves blonde chicks
he struts-he strolls
he looks so cool, and yeah, he knows
he's a beauty-a cutie
his body rocks and girls they flock
he's afflicted-addicted
BRIDGE
CHORUS
ah-his body rocks, and he wears tight clothes
afflicted-addicted
BRIDGE
CHORUS
No, i ain't givin' up on him just yet
'cause i'm as stubborn as a girl can get
No , i ain't givin' up on him just yet
'cause i'm as stubborn as a girl can get
he won't quit-but you can bet
i'm stickin' to it
I-ain't-I ain't no quitter
I-ain't-no quitter
oh baby, I-ain't-I ain't no quitter

O Stubborn Leaf
Alone, suspended high above the ground,
On barren limb, defying season’s change-
O stubborn leaf! Was I to winter bound,
Was I a hapless slave to winter’s rage,
I’d set aside this ghastly rake,
Climb your bough and give it a shake,
Bring you down to where broken leaves are found.
But in my heart I share your stubborn hold,
Resisting winter’s scourge upon the trees.
I cherish fall, the brilliant days of gold
And red, such colors dancing in the leaves,
Not fading brown from winter's freeze,
Falling, rotting, filling the eaves,
Till every trace is buried in the cold.
Pride Games
we've been waiting here
for far too long
stuck at a standstill
stubborn checkmate
finally,
crumbling,
the pride chips off icy face
falls to the dust in a defeated heap
i turn
-your eyes alight
sensing final victory
meaningless in reality
yet you breathe more easily
stand taller now, importantly
but you're the one who still can't sleep
replaying battles in your dreams
obsessively repeating memories
-you wear your pride on your sleeve
while mine runs deep
mine runs deep
so i'm the one who walks away
leaving you to your stubborn fate
surrounded by armfuls of hate
i will not waste another day.

Hello to Stubborn Moves
Hello to stubborn moves.
A mindless fight that's fought,
With ugly moods.
And no one understands the reason why,
They sit defying...
Derailing attempts they don't try.
Denying with good alibis.
The goodness of life that slips by.
Hoorayed...
And uncompromised.
Hello to stubborn moves.
A mindless fight that's fought,
With ugly moods.
And no one stops although it's very clear,
Destruction is near.
And nurtured before their own eyes.
But this is not minimized,
To scrutinize and analyze.
Hello to stubborn moves.
A mindless fight that's fought,
With ugly moods.
And no one understands the reason why,
They sit defying...
Derailing attempts they don't try.
Denying with good alibis.
The goodness of life that slips by.
Hoorayed...
And uncompromised.
With a quality of life prized...
Kicked to the curb,
For a long gutter ride...
No one likes.
But rides!

Stevie Taite's version of, 'Kick the Can'.
Kick that can
Resounding rattle
Pockets tugged down
With loves lost battle
Stubborn kicks
Along the road
Shoulders low
A loveless load
We've all been there
And cans we've dented
At dented hearts
How we repented
But life goes on
Just like that walk
Until we meet
Another fork
And hope we steer
True loves direction
With can squashed flat
In retrospection

Life and Friendship
To be laughed at, ridiculed or mocked,
to be disdained and or to be liked,
believed, and to be praised,
we own ourselves.
We are the masters of our own wellbeing,
and all the rights and wrongs
we seemed to know it all;
as a result, we become stubborn or too stubborn
to be dictated, directed, or redirected.
Thus, the insights of our dreams
are roads we follow
– either we stumble or fall,
but God has given us
the strength to rise and move on.
Friends are not all perfect ribbons of God’s gift:
among the circle, there are leaders in front of us,
helpers on our sides,
and some who might stab us in our back.
But all in one, they are true inspiration
trading places in time of laughter.
Sets of friends have different personalities,
characters, or even their zodiac traits;
as an Aquarian, I am a calm river
enjoying all their presence on my harbor.
My deepness or shallowness
in their quest the less I become
an abandoned swamp.

Life’s Burden
All my life I have carried people and enormous weights,
and my owner always gets annoyed
when I refuse another step to take.
He curses and shouts, tugs and pulls, and tries to pull me on,
but I wont move in any direction
until the load on my back has gone.
It’s not unknown for him to give me a hefty kick
and when I still refuse to budge,
he lays into me with a stick.
My ways have made me famous and it’s not for being a fool,
the people of the world know me for my obstinacy,
because I’m an ordinary stubborn mule.
