The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized--never knowing.

Wild Thing
Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it, wild thing
Theres hardly a man left around that you havent sought out
Theres hardly a dress shop in town that you havent bought out
In case youre wondering why the hair salon wouldnt take you
Theres hardly a woman left in any state that doesnt hate you
Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it, wild thing
Its truly awesome
When she was younger she thought her mother had missed her calling
And she, in turn, thought that her daughters conduct was appalling
After each date she had the boys, went home and dreamed of spiders
She never fell for any man who wasnt rich as midas
Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it, wild thing
Its truly awesome
If theres a lesson to be learned then Im sure I dont know it
Weve all been waiting twenty years to see her finally blow it
But as far as I can tell shes happy, rich, and worry-free
And thats a hell of a lot more than I can say for me
Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it wild thing
Wild thing
You made your heart sing
You bought everything you wanted
Spend it, spend it, wild thing
It was truly awesome
Thats my girl, go baby!

Holding On
Holding it inside is the worst thing.
Slowly tears roll down the face,
And the heart starts to hurt.
Can't take no more,
So just let it all out.
Trying to figure out,
Where to go from here.
Wishing to talk,
Not knowing what to say.

This Lack of Trust
this lack of trust,
from years of hurt and abuse
i try to let it go
but it's just no use
i get so confused
everything seems like lies
and not being able to trust
is one thing i despise.
this lack of trust
keeps me up all night
wondering, thinking..
should I give up or fight?
i want to believe
all the words that you say
i want to have faith
but it's been taken away.
this lack of trust,
i know it's upsetting,
but it's a direct result
of the pain I keep getting
when i finally give in
allow myself to believe
i get stabbed and punished
and brought to my knees
this lack of trust,
oh please be patient
because im definitly a risk
that needs to be taken
please give me your time
to build up my trust
because when it happens
we'll make a beautiful us.

Once again hurting inside..
It's amazing how one word can completely crush my heart,
And the worst of it is...
You don't even know it did,
How can you be so stupid! ?
How could you not know this would only hurt me! ?
You make me so mad some times,
I feel like this isn't gonna last very long,
Yes, you've changed alot of me,
But I just can't do this anymore,
I'm only human,
You've hurt me too many times,
I always seem to try to make myself believe this is normal and okay,
But the ugly truth is...
This is just not right and never will be,
How many chances do I have to give you before you realize that! ?
I'm just about to give up...
As much as I don't want to,
I'm so confused,
The one thing I do know...
Is that I need to protect my heart from getting anymore destroyed then it's already been.

This Is Dedicated To Girls That Have Been Hurt And Feel They Need A Man To Solve All There Problems
You lay there wondering
why he would break up
You feel so hurt and unwanted
I am here to tell
Every thing is going to be all right
Be strong believe
Believe life will keep going
And you will keep living
Don't stop for a guy who isn't worth it
Dont hurt your self over him
Every thing is going to be all right
Be strong believe
Don't look back but forward
Keep your head up and your eyes strait
Forgive him and move on to your life
Because,
Every thing is going to be all right
Be strong believe

I've Cried My Eyes Out
I've cried my eyes out
Wondering why
I've thought of every reason
Why I dont deserve you
I've made reasons why no one should get close to me
I've cried my eyes out
Wishing we could be together
Wondering why we aren't
I've cried my eyes out
Wishing I could take back everything that I have done or said that has hurt you
I've cried my eyes out
Knowing that I have made your life a living hell
I've cried my eyes out knowing nothing
I do or say will ever get me closer to you

A Simple Thing Like Cry
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
If it didnt hurt so bad
If it didnt hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
If I thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If I could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If I could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then I could do
A simple thing like cry
If it didnt hurt so bad
If it didnt hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
Dont you know I plan to spend
Every moment of my life with you
Now youre trying to tell me
That my dreams just wont come true
Thanks for giving me a million reasons why
But it hurts too bad to do
A simple thing like cry
If I thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If I could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If I could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then I could do
A simple thing like cry
If it didnt hurt so bad
If it didnt hurt me so bad
Maybe I could
If it didnt hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
I could cry, cry
If it didnt hurt me
If I didnt love you
Hurt me

Dominating Factor
If you know you are right...
You have a choice.
You can either be patient.
Or choose to fight!
If you know you are wrong...
And defend your position.
Regardless of the opposition faced.
You 'too' have a choice.
You can smother yourself in denial.
Or you can spend the rest of your life...
Wondering why no one believes a thing you say!
Either way,
Eventually someone is going to get hurt.
Especially when 'truth',
Is not first researched and encouraged...
To be the dominating factor embraced,
As a guiding force!

Spiralling Shape
Down, down, down you go
No way to stop
As you fall, hear me call
No, no, no
Listen to this warning and
Consider these
Simple words of advice
Stop, stop, stop
Fogging the view, cupping face to the window
In darkness you make out a spiralling shape
Putting all reason aside you exchange
What you got for a thing that's hypnotic and strange
The spiralling shape will make you go insane
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing
(Everyone wants to see that thing)
And nobody knows what it's really like
But everyone says it's great
And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes
This could lead to excellence
Or serious injury
Only one way to know
Go, go, go
Go ahead, wreck your life
That might be good
Who can say what's wrong or right?
Nobody can
Put out your hands and you fall through the window
And clawing at nothing you drop through the void
Your terrified screams are inaudible drowned
In the spiral ahead and consumed in the shape
The spiralling shape will make you go insane
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing
(Everyone wants to see that thing)
And now that you've tried it, you're back to report
That the spiralling shape was a fraud and a fake
You didn't enjoy it, you never believed it
There won't be a refund, you'll never go back
The spiralling shape will make you go insane
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing
(Everyone wants to see that thing)
And nobody knows what it's really like
But everyone says it's great
And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes
(Spiral in their eyes)
Fogging the view, cupping face to the window
In darkness you make out a spiralling shape
Putting all reason aside you exchange
What you got for a thing that's hypnotic and strange
The spiralling shape will make you go insane
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing
(Everyone wants to see that thing)
Don't spend the rest of your life wondering
(Everyone wants to see that thing)
Don't spend the rest of your life wondering
(Everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
Don't spend the rest of your life wondering
(Everyone wants to see that thing)

Bessie Smith
Bessie was more than a friend of mine
We shared the good times and the bad
Well many years has since passed me by
I still recall the best thing I ever had
Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie
Oh see her soon
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
When I get there I wondering what she'll do
Now all the crazy things I had to try
Well I tried them all and then some
But if you're lucky one day you will find out
Where it is that you're really coming from
Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie
Oh see her soon
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
When I get there I wondering what she'll do
Now in my day I've made some foolish moves
But back then I didn't worry about a thing
Now and again I still wonder to myself
Was it the sweet love or the way that she could sing
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
When I get there I wondering what she'll do
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
When I get there I wondering what she'll do

Angel
There is an
Angel
Sent down from heaven
To save me from drowning
It's was miracle
I thought I was died, but
I wasn't thanks to an
Angel
I feel so live and happy
That was the worst thing ever happen to me
You are greatest friend ever and my
Angel
Who is always there and
Give me hug when I'm sad and hurt
No matter what happen
You are there right way
You always want me to smile and be happy
You protected me from getting hurt and
You give me great advices
I'm so thankful to have you as a friend
I have an
Angel
Looking over me
Thank you God
I know I'm not alone
I have people who care about me and
Are there to support and help me get up
I have an
Angel
I hope the
Angel
Help me by forgetting the past and
People who hurt me
Also guide me through the difficult times too
There is an
Angel
That I believe in and will always
Thank them for what they done
I wouldn't be here today
If they didn't save me, but
They did save me
There is an
Angel
Watching out for all of us, and
Protect us all too
Angel

If To Just Listen
I can give you my attention.
But please do not mention,
The time I spend.
Or the quality of it.
When yours I can not depend.
I care about your welfare.
If I did not,
I would not be here.
When I'm in need of your appearance...
It is as if you have disappeared.
And I am not here to compare cares!
I am here to make it clear,
I care whether you are aware of it or not!
Am I the only one...
That has come to knock on your door?
Am I the only one...
To come to you,
When my wants and wishes you have ignored?
But then I remember too...
This 'is' all about you!
As it has been for quite sometime.
Isn't that true?
Even when you whine...
Who can you count on,
To give you their time?
Whether or not...
You appreciate that it's mine to give,
To you to abuse!
I can give you my attention.
But please do not mention,
The time I spend.
Or the quality of it.
When yours I can not depend.
Whenever I may be in,
A need to have you near...
If to just listen!

Peace In Paradise
I'm wondering why I spend my time alone.
My years with you.
They were my special years.
That's true!
I'd spend them all over again with you.
In peace! Peace in paradise..
My mind! It's traveling through space and time.
Every little thought of you.
I know was mine.
So true!
That's why I still think of you.
In peace! Peace in paradise.
Your loving ways, they still catch my eye.
One thought of you.
Could only make me cry.
For you!
That's why I want to spend my time with you..
In peace! Peace in paradise..
That's why I want to spend my time with you..
In peace! Peace in paradise..

Here Am I
(ronnie scott/steve wolfe)
Producers for bonnie: david mackay, ronnie scott, steve wolfe
Here am I in love again clinging to your arms again
Wondering why I wanted to be free
Here am I next to you wondering what we ought to do
Cant afford to lose it all again
Here am i, there are you, we nearly broke our hearts in two
Would have been the worst thing in the world
When I thought that we could live apart
I must have been crazy, what a fool I was
What a fool from the moment you got in my heart
I should have known baby, but now I know, oh!
Here am I in love again clinging to your arms again
Wondering why I wanted to be free
When I thought that we could live apart
I must have been crazy, what a fool I was
What a fool from the moment you got in my heart
I should have known baby, but now I know, oh!
Here am I in love again clinging to your arms again
Wondering why I wanted to be free
Here am I next to you wondering what we ought to do
Cant afford to lose it all again
Here am I in love again clinging to your arms again
Here am i, there are you, we nearly broke our hearts in two
Would have been the worst thing in the world

Make Love Work
Of all the roads Ive traveled and all the sights Ive seen
The most amazing thing is the power of our dreams
And anything is possible for those who can believe
Just get your heart to rearrange its priorities
For us to make love work
Weve got to try a little harder
And for love to work we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious
To spend it feeling hurt
Lets start to take the chance to make love work
It takes faith in one another to see things eye to eye
And its hard to trust but you know its worth the try
Theres a candle in my window and whenever you feel blue
You can bet your bottom dollar Ill be there for you
For us to make love work
Weve got to try a little bit harder
And for love to work we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious
To spend it feeling hurt
Lets start to take the chance to make love work
Oh I do believe in miracles
But I know they dont come easy
So why dont we give destiny
A helping hand
For us to make love work
Weve got to try a little bit harder
And for love to work we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious
To spend it feeling hurt
Lets start to take the chance to make love work
Life is just too beautiful
To spend it feeling hurt
Lets start to take the chance to make love work

So Hurt
Its hard I know to understand
Nothing lasts for ever
The things you used to say and do
The places you would go to meet
When you were together
You set your face against the tide
The harsh words that were spoken
But after all the anger
The shouting and the tears
You found your heart was broken
Fight the tears
Fight the fever
Dont give in
Soul deceiver
So hurt
With the pain you cant hide
So lost
And lonely inside
So hurt
When the feeling has died
So hurt
With the pain you cant hide
So lost
And lonely inside
So hurt
When the feeling has died
Just like the clock went back ten years
To make a new beginning
To work out how to live your life
To take the board and play the game
And recognise youre winning
Your memories mean nothing now
Youre just a little older
Moving forward with the crowd
Silent fears but laughing loud
Not wiser but just bolder
Fight the tears
Fight the fever
Fight the hurt
Dont give up
So hurt
With the pain you cant hide
So lost
And lonely inside
So hurt
When the feeling has died
So hurt
With the pain you cant hide
So lost
And lonely inside
So hurt
When the feeling has died
