My dad always said I was hard-headed, that it would take something like that to wake me up spiritually, and I guess it did. My heart had gotten so beat up that I didn't have anything left to give.

Not Enough
Wake up your life
You may never get the chance to make things right
Rather than lie
Take a moment to reflect on what's gone by
It's a mistake
There's no reason I should be so full of guilt
Significant break
So you severed all the ties that we have built
All I know, even though
Tried to give you what was left of me
But it was not enough
Didn't think about the rest of me
That it was not enough
Tried my hardest with the best of me
But it was not enough
Tried to give you what was left of me
But it was not enough
All mixed up inside
And it's easy to forget what we should be
It's useless to hide
I can see to the heart of your insecurity
All of this time
Blaming others for the cause of what we've lost
Nothing sublime
I must overcome no matter what the cost
[Chorus x1]
Please give back what s not yours to have
It's the only thing that I've got left
Never was enough to satisfy
And I'm left empty
[Chorus x1]
Tried to give you what was left of me
But it was not enough
Didn't think about the rest of me
That it was not enough
Tried my hardest with the best of me
But it was not enough

He Oughta Know That By Now
I guess he's working late again
I don't need to wonder where he is
But I do
He oughta know that by now
I know his work takes a lot of him
There's not much left for him to give
But I need more
He oughta know that by now
time
It's just too hard to hold on to what's never around
He oughta know that by now
He used to promise soon things would change
It's been years and it's still the same
And that hurts
He oughta know that by now
I've grown so used to being alone
Couldn't be much worse if I were gone
And in a way I am
He oughta know that by now
time
It's just too hard to hold on to what is never around
He oughta know that by now
Heart ache and coffee at midnight motels
Leaving him was hard as hell
But I did
And he oughta know that by now
I didn't try to explain
No goodbye underneath my ring
That was all I left
He oughta know that by now
That was all I left
And he oughta know that by now

Hard Headed Woman
Im looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will take me for myself,
And if I find my hard headed woman,
I wont need nobody else, no, no, no.
Im looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will make me do my best,
And if I find my hard headed woman
I know the rest of my life will be blessed -- yes, yes, yes.
I know a lot of fancy dancers,
People who can glide you on a floor,
They move so smooth but have no answers.
When you ask whyd you come here for?
I dont know why?
I know many fine feathered friends
But their friendliness depends on how you do.
They know many sure fired ways
To find out the one who pays
And how you do.
Im looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will make me feel so good,
And if I find my hard headed woman,
I know my life will be as it should -- yes, yes, yes.
Im looking for a hard headed woman,
One who will make me do my best,
And if I find my hard headed woman...

Truth
How did I get here
Think I know what I did
Always worked real hard
Maybe I missed something
I'm not into pointing fingers
Showin who's right or wrong
I just wanna keep it real
Cause maybe I was doin fine on my own
Listen:
I had a career before now didn't I
I had lots of friends before now didn't I
And I had my fans before now didn't I
And I had my family before now didn't I
Guess without you
My little life was nothing
But don't sweat it
Let's say we disagree so
Arguing ain't necessary cause
We both have out whole lives left to live
We're both consumed with jealousy
But the truth can set you free
Don't act like you don't know the truth
Cause deep down in your heart you do
Let it go
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child thing will be bright cause
Truth will set you free
Conversations deep
When you talk to yourself
There's no wayt to cheat
Cause you know you can't be no one else
Won't trip out on disappointment
Cause failure is just not me
Still I gotta do my job
Cause you know my show can't go on without me
Listen:
I had a career before now didn't I
Sold out round the worl before now didn't I
I had a few hits before now didn't I
And danced until my feet were sore now didn't I
Guess without you
My little life was nothing
But don't sweat it
Let's say we disagree so
Arguing ain't necessary cause
We both have out whole lives left to live
We're both consumed with jealousy
But the truth can set you free
It's hard to believe
The love between us is over
It's sad to think we couldn't work it out
But how much is enough to pay for this mistake
Hope your love was sincere
Don't act like you don't know the truth
Cause deep down in your heart you do
Let it go
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child thing will be bright cause
Truth will set you free
Don't act like you don't know the truth
Cause deep down in your heart you do
Let it go
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child thing will be bright cause
Truth will set you free
Do you know the truth
Feel it
Live it
Do you know the truth
Trust it
Believe it
Do you know the truth
You want it
And need it
Do you know the truth
To find it
Embrace it
And never let it go

(It's Like You) Never Left At All
Nobody can tell me I didn't try anything
I didn't know what to do to get over you
I tried magic and potions but I could not shake you loose
From my dreams, strange as it seems
It's like you never left at all
I guess I just can't forget you
It's like you never left at all
Somethin' inside me just won't let you go
Took a vacation for a month, maybe more
Made some new friends in places I've never been
But recuperation hasn't even yet begun
I'm still reachin' over for you when the morning comes
It's like you never left at all
I guess I just can't forget you
It's like you never left at all
Somethin' inside me just won't let you go
You're only illusion but you're standin' in my way
And you've got your life, it's a new life
But mine can't seem to change
It's like you never left at all
I guess I just can't forget you
It's like you never left at all
Somethin' inside me just won't let you go
Somethin' inside me just won't let you go

I'm A Survivor
I was born three months too early
The doctor gave me thirty days
But I must have had my Mama's will
And God's amazing grace
I guess I'll keep on livin'
Even if this love's to die for
Cause your bags are packed and I ain't cryin'
You're walkin' out and I'm not tryin'
To change your mind cause I was born to be
The baby girl without a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who out to give up
But she's just too hard headed
A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of fighter
I'm a survivor
I don't believe in self pity
It only brings your down
Maybe the queen of broken hearts
But I don't hide behind the crown
When the deck is stacked against me
I just play a different game
My roots are planted in the past
Although my life is changin' fast
Who I am is who I wanna be
The baby girl without a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who out to give up
But she's just too hard headed
A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of fighter
I'm a survivor

So I Give Up On Love
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and boys you better listen
Names have been changed to protect the innocent
Just in case it's about you
I guess I'm in a little predicament
What else can this little girl do
There was Peter
He was a cheater
Who couldn't keep his hands to himself
There was Richie
Well he got bitchy
So I left him there on the shelf
So I give up on love
I guess I've had enough
And I don't give a... what can I do
Just when I've found the one
And I think loves begun
It's falling through
So I will dry my eyes
And I'll just fantasize
And I'll get moisturized and think of you
I'm lookin for the best
And I'll take nothing less
Baby what about you
A meeting of minds is so hard to find
Is there no such a thing as the one
They say love is blind cos the truth is unkind
I'm just a hot-loaded gun
There was Henry
Now he got friendly
While dancing in my pink underwear
And there was David
When he got naked
He didn't have much up - or downstairs
So I give up on love
I guess I've had enough
I don't give a..., what can I do
Just when I've found the one
And I think loves begun
It's falling through
So I will dry my eyes
And I'll just fantasize
And I'll get moisturized and think of you
I'm lookin for the best
And I'll take nothing less
Cos baby what about you

Where Is Your Heart
i don't believe
in the smile that you leave me with
when you walk away and say goodbye
well i don't expect
the world to move
underneath me but for god's sake could you try
i know that you're true to me
you're always there, you say you care
i know that you wanna be mine
where is your heart
cause i don't really feel you
where is your heart
what i really want is to believe you
is it so hard to give me what i need
i want your heart to bleed
and that's all i'm asking for
where is your heart?
i don't understand
your love is so cold
it's always me who's reaching out for your hand
i always dreamed
that love would be effortless
like a petal falling to the ground
a dreamer following his dream
where is your heart
cause i don't really feel you
where is your heart
what i really want is to believe you
is it so hard to give me what i need
i want your heart to bleed
and that's all i'm asking for
where is your heart?
it seems so much is left unsaid
but you can say anything
oh anytime you need
baby it's just you and me
i know that you're true to me
you're always there, you say you care
i know that you wanna be mine
where is your heart
cause i don't really feel you
where is your heart
what i really want is to believe you
is it so hard to give me what i need
i want your heart to bleed
and that's all i'm asking for
where is your heart
cause i don't really feel you
where is your heart
what i really want is to believe you
is it so hard to give me what i need
i want your heart to bleed

A Guy Like You
why is it
that you
manage to
leave me in tears
I know that I
was just a friend
but now I can't
look at you the same
it's been weeks
since we last talked
but to my heart
it's been years
everyone knows
that I've crashed and burned
but no one knows
the truth I feel for you
I've felt your pain
you hope and dreams
but why is it
that you don't feel my pain
I want to cry
every time that I
see you there
it's too much for me
I've been hurt
many times before
but none has hurt
as bad as this
my heart is pounding
this is true
you're the cure
if only you knew
you know a little
how I feel
but you don't know
that you mean so much more
you are the smile
I have when I wake
you're in the dreams
I don't want to wake from
I need you
right here and now
I need you're smile
I need you're grace
but you left me broken
more than you'd guess
but now i see
you're far from me
you're dreams go
further than mine
I guess I've gatta learn
the pains of love
maybe my problem is
not that you hurt me
but that I won't give up
and see it be
I know what everyone says
some say it's so cute
that me out of anyone
is falling for a guy like you
you are far from normal
and that I love
how you're so open
and will push for dreams
you are like
an open book
that I thought
I could read fine
but as it turns out
I was wrong again
I'm such a fool
whenever I'm around you
I truly care for you
yes I said it before
but nothing can break
these feelings for you
only you can make me
crash and burn
I know I said I would for you
but it's all too much
you have this smile
that I can't forget
no matter what I do
I always think of you
you're my inspiration
to reach for the stars
but to me the stars
resemble your eyes
I gave you my heart
but now I see
it was just foolishness
for thinking of you and me
I've shed some tears
but that's nothing new
nor is what I feel
everyday for you
i wake with a smile
because i get to see you
I wake up with pain
because you broke me
it's all so confusing
what I've been through
only because now I wish
I never told you.

Mountain O'Things
I lose my head
From time to time
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart
We should have been holding each other
Instead we talked
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart
But I asked before
Your reply was kind and polite
One wants more
When one's denied
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart
I won't call it love
But it feels good to have passion in my life
If there's a battle
I hope my head always defers to my heart
In matters of the heart
I guess I'm crazy to think
I can give you what you don't want
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart
I've made myself sick
I can't think of anything else
I can't sleep at night
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart
I wish that I had the power
To make these feelings stop
I lose all self control
In matters of the heart
I can't believe
It's so hard to find someone
To give affection to
And from whom you can receive
I guess it's just the draw of the cards
In matters of the heart
You caught me off guard
Somehow you reached me
Where I thought I had nothing left inside
I've learned a lesson I've been edified
In matters of the heart
I've spent my nights
Where the sleeping dogs lie
Not by your side
It feels so lonely
Once again I've left too much to chance
In matters of the heart
Here I sit
I'm feeling sorry for myself
It's quite a sight
But I have you to thank
For reminding me
We're all alone in this world
And in matters of the heart
I'm already missing you
Although we won't say good-byes
Until tomorrow afternoon
Maybe when and if I

Michael Jackson
I didn't get to say goodbye
I didn't get to tell you that I love you
I didn't even tell you how I feel
You left in a hurry
Without a sound
With no clues
I have to ask why
Why did you have to leave me
Why didn't you tell me how you feel
I don't understand
Why you left
Is it because the God wanted you
But I am selfish I won't share you
Not even with God
You were my hero
My idol
My star
You had my heart
And when you died
You took my heart with you
But that's okay
Because I know I will soon
Be with you
Then I can have my heart back
You are in heaven
Away from all this distruction
But I must ask
Why didn't you take me
Then I could of truly told you everything
You are older than I am
But I still love you
You made mistakes
But so have I
I didn't want us to be together
But I want us to be able to tell each other anything
I wanted us to become Great friends
But now you are gone
Gone to heaven
Is that the best thing
If so for who
You left millions of people
Heartbroken and sad
Gone to heaven
Must be good for you
No distruction
No evil
All good
I didn't say goodbye
And that is killing me
I didn't say all the things I wanted to
That's tearing me apart
I am going to miss you
But as you leave
Another comes
Maybe he wil be like you
But I would have died for you
I am crying my heart and soul out for you
Praying you know that I loved you
You changed millions of poeple's lives
Including myself
You made me believe
I can too feel the music
The beat is within my heart
Closing my eyes
Picturing you here
Is not the same
Of having you here
With all of us
You left behind
Your family
friends
fans
me
Would you have come back to us all
Or would you wait for us
Until our time comes
But now it's time for us to let you go
People will never forget
How you changed everything
We will miss you forever
But now it's time to say goodbye
So goodbye Michael Jackson

No Voice For The Midnight
wasted
like paper wasted for the cells to whiten
sprinkling the soul onto the wall
permanently graphed tainted blood
to the point when sound does not wake up
does not want to wake up
does not want to wake up and give
a soothing sound of midnight
but merely sleeps deep 'neath the beat
slapping all faces of exhaustion
too tired too frail too hard to even speak
it keeps the caves of the mouth safely closed

A soft hearted man
Been the cause of trouble
Ever since the world began.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been
A thorn in the side of man.
Now adam told to eve,
Listen here to me,
Dont you let me catch you
Messin round that apple tree.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been

Now samson told delilah
Loud and clear,
Keep your cotton pickin fingers
Out my curly hair.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been
A thorn in the side of man.
I heard about a king
Who was doin swell
Till he started playing
With that evil jezebel.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been a thorn in the side of man.
I got a woman,
A head like a rock.
If she ever went away
Id cry around the clock.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A hard headed woman been
A thorn in the side of man.

Property
My bags are packed, I guess its time for me to go.
I cant say where Im headed, cause I just dont know.
When I think of what Ill be losing,
Its hard to move along,
But its harder just to stay here,
Knowing that I dont belong.
Ill be in touch, dont worry, Ill be calling you.
Ive got no plans, Im not sure where Im going to.
Its hard to keep from crying,
After all that weve been through.
Ive taken everything I need,
Now all thats left belongs to you.
You take the photographs, the ones of you and me,
When we both posed and laughed to please the family.
Nobody noticed then we wanted to be free,
And now theres no more love,
Its just the property.
Its hard to keep from crying,
After all that weve been through.
Now that its all over, now that you and I are free,
Now theres nothing left except the bit of property.
Started off with nothing, started off just you and me,
Now that its all over you can keep the property.
And all the little gifts we thought wed throw away,
The useless souvenirs bought on a holiday.
We put them on a shelf, now theyre collecting dust.
We never needed them, but they outlasted us.

Up North (Down South, Back East, Out West)
(Danny Wells/Jill Wood)
In spite of the name, Independence, Kansas
Didn't grow many wild roses
But she was young and restless
And I loved her though holding her down was hopeless
I wanted her to say she couldn't live without
The life I had to offer but all she could talk about
Was faraway dreams, cities she'd never seen
How do I find that girl when she could be
Out there anywhere she just up and left
She didn't leave a forwarding address
Or a trail for my lonely heart to follow
Which one of those four winds should I go chasing
She could be in a million places I guess
Up north, down south, back east, out west
She could be up in the Windy City
Where the world spins a little bit faster
Or gettin' a tan down in Miami that might be where I'd catch her
Maybe back in Virginia, her cousin lives there
Out in Arizona, she'd fit in anywhere
It's anyone's guess where she came to rest
My one chance for happiness is
Out there anywhere she just up and left
She didn't leave a forwarding address
Or a trail for my lonely heart to follow
Which one of those four winds should I go chasing
She could be in a million places I guess
Up north, down south, back east, out west
I'm sitting here at a four-way intersection
Praying Lord won't you point me in the right direction
She could be
Out there anywhere she just up and left
She didn't leave a forwarding address
Or a trail for my lonely heart to follow
Which one of those four winds should I go chasing
She could be in a million places I guess
Up north, down south, back east, out west
Up north, down south, back east, out west

Big green eyes that look like sun
They can see every cheap thing that you ever done
Well, I dont care how many girls you dated.
Man, you aint lived
Till youve had your tires rotated
By a red-headed woman, a red-headed woman.
A red-headed woman sure can get the job done.
Well, all you girls out there tonight
Sure look fine,
But my heart and soul and this body of mine
Is a red-headed womans, a red-headed womans.

Give me your hand babe

Give me your prayers
