Old Girl, A Backwards Dream
he was just sitting there listening, you know...
sitting on the stoop, listening to the old black man
play guitar...
listening to the children playing across the way...
listening to the occasional car, and the way the sunset
clapped against the trees, keeping rhythm.
the old man started singing, low, almost a growl:
'old girl, old girl, where you been so long?
old girl, old girl, where you been so long?
done took the night out of my daytime,
and the darkness out of dawn.
old girl, old girl, why you be that way?
old girl, old girl, why you be that way?
you pack your clothes to travel on,
you dont unpack your clothes to stay...'
he grinned at the old man, 'yeah...'
the smell of streaked meat frying, and coffee
boiling over came from the house...
'how many eggs y'all want? '
the old man started singing again:
'old girl, old girl, why you wanna shake that thing?
old girl, old girl, why you wanna shake that thing?
you lock me out of your house,
why you wanna be so mean? '...
'y'all gonna see mean in a minute, if you dont
get your buts in here and eat..'
'we coming, baby', the old man grinned, slowly sliding
the guitar back in its case.
shaking his head and looking up, he saw an owl,
perched silently on the eaves. pulling down his hat,
he followed the old man in.... the sound of the screen
door slamming echoed in the dusk.

I Wanna Be the Girl
i wanna be the girl you write songs about
I wanna be the girl you can't live without
I wanna be the girl on the radio
I wanna be that girl you know
I wanna be the intimidating one
I wanna be the one you love
I wanna be the one you can't get over how she looked at you today
I wanna be that girl
I wanna be the girl you tell your mom about
i wanna be the girl you watch walk away
I wanna be the girl you always point out
I wanna be the girl who never heard what you had to say
I wanna be the girl you write songs about
I wanna be the girl you cab't live without
I wanna be the girl on the radio
I wanna be that girl you know
I wanna be that girl
You know the one i mean
I wanna be the girl
You know the one you know
I wanna be the girl who changed your life
I wanna be the girl who's not quite right
I wanna be the girl in your dreams
I wanna be the girl you beg 'be with me'
I wanna be the girl who stands out
I wanna be the one you can't live without
God, I want to be he
I'm so jealous of that girl
I wanna be the girl you write songs about
I wanna be the girl you can't live without
I wanna be the girl on the radio
i wanna be that girl, that girl you know

Who Will Cry For The Little Girl?
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl that sleeps
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl that weeps
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl that will soon be grown
Who will cry for the little
the little girl who can't make it on her own
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl who sits and stands
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl who watches life in her hands
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl that gives
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl that lives
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl that sleeps
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl inside of me
Who will cry for the little girl
the little girl who used to be ME! !

You're My Girl
(cooper, beatty, shelby)
See your bag's packed and you're ready to go
There's just one thing i think that you all ought to know
You're my girl, you're my girl
I don't wanna discuss it woman
Ain't no need to try
I don't wanna discuss it baby
Come on baby try
You're my girl, listen baby, you're my girl
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna hear you say
I don't wanna even discuss it woman
I don't wanna hear what you say
'cause you know that
You're my girl, you're my girl
You're my girl, you're my girl, no no
I know that you've been running 'round
With another man in town
Tried to put you right woman
But you keep on putting me down
Listen to me now, you're my girl
You're my girl
You're my girl
Get in there
I don't wanna talk about it woman
'cause i know you got another man
I don't wanna say another word
Just get back where you're at
You got to tell me 'cause
You're my girl, come on baby
You're my girl, you're my girl oh-oh
You're my girl
You're my girl
You're my girl

Little girl don't you cry, everything will be ok
Little girl please just listen to what i have got to say
Little girl make a wish, sit back, watch the stars and pray
Little girl some one will soon come along to help you guide your way
Little girl just relax and go and play
Little girl someone will be there to brighten up your day
Little girl your still young you have plenty of time

Little girl take my hand, be happy don't be blue
Little girl im sorry to say but it was not true
Little girl dont you look for love, let it come and find you
Little girl you will just have to wait theres nothing else you can do
Little girl please stop sobbing, because you made a mistake
Little girl just remember its an easy thing to make
Little girl you got to beleive that is true
Little girl nobodys perfect not even you

A girl like me will make your world better
A girl like me will make you happy
A girl like me will make you smile everyday.
A girl like me will surround only you in my world
A girl like me will make you laugh nonstop
A girl like me will make time for you.

A girl like me will be the one you can just hang out with.
A girl like me will be the one to hold you at night
A girl like me will be the one you can fall asleep with
A girl like me will make you see what's on the brighter side.

A girl like me will be there when no one else will
A girl like me will be the one you can open up to.
A girl like me could be your world that you have been looking for
A girl like me could be right in front of you
A girl like me could be the one you need to survive this life.
A girl like me is me
There is no other girl like me
Take me to be yours and get all of the above.

Gone girl
Detention girl,
Suspension girl,
Lives off a pention girl.
Tough girl,
Fighter girl,
Always caught with a lighter girl.
Sad girl,
Lonely girl,
Knows shes not the only girl.
Lying girl,
Crying girl,
Pretend she wasn't dieing girl.
Cold girl,
Gone girl,
Wonders what went wrong girl...

Stole your life
He destroyed your confidence, girl,
He’s the cause of your pain, girl
You got to be stronger than that, girl
Innocent girl you once were.
He stole your innocence, girl,
He took your love, girl
He buried it with others, girl,
Loving girl you once were.
He tore apart your faith, girl.
He turned everyone against you, girl.
He made your parents not trust you, girl.
Worthy girl you once were.
He took your life, girl.
Gave it a new name, girl,
He drew your blood, girl,
Living girl you once were.

That girl that you cant get out or your mind

I Am the Girl.....! !
I am the girl... you look & think why,
I am the girl... who wishes to die.
I am the girl... you point & stare,
I am the girl... who just doesn't care.
I am the girl... who wants a better life,
One free of pain,
One free from strife.
I am the girl... who took a blade to her wrist,
I am the girl... i know you wont miss.
I am the girl... you say is a mess,
I am the girl... who is in distress.
I am the girl... who cries late at night,
An ocean of tears,
I can't see the light.

You see her in a short skirt down on the grass
Shes wonderin if the teams gonna run kick or pass

Since she doesnt really know why shes wavin her hands
Shes a-thinking bout the boy sittin up in the stands
Rah rah pom pom play girl
Pom pom play girl

Just a little social clique with the other song queens
With a freshman or a sophomore she wouldnt be seen

Shes a doll and she knows it and she thinks that her face
Will get her any body any thing and any place
Rah rah pom pom play girl
Pom pom play girl

Since shes the head cheerleader she dates the quarterback
And her best friends going out with the full back

She might even run for an office this spring
And that ought to really make her telephone ring

He Cant Love U
I aint no hata or nothing
But he cant love you like I can
Trust me
Ooh, ooh, ooh
As the clock strikes twelve
Im sitting here wondering how the hell
Did I let you leave
And baby I know that I did my share
Of things to deceive you
Im just trying to get an understanding
Of what to do
Cause Im half way going crazy
Girl they cant fade me
He cant love you like I love you
Baby you know it too
And you should never wanna be with a man
If he cant be a man
And do the things to you like I can
He cant love you like I love you
Baby you know it too
And you should never wanna be with a man
If he cant be a man
And do the things to you like I can
I stop, and I wait, and I think
That I never met someone to make me feel
Like Im ready to love
So I gotta do what I gotta do
Just to keep you
Keep you here with me baby
Now I feel its time for me to say
That I need you boo
And I cant go a day without your loving
Baby I cant live without you
I know you know
No matter if you want it baby
Aint no ifs, or buts, or maybes
And I know that one day
Youll see that he cant really love you
Like I love you
He cant love you like I love you
Baby you know it too
And you should never wanna be with a man
If he cant be a man
And do the things to you like I can
He cant love you like I love you
Baby you know it too
And you should never wanna be with a man
If he cant be a man
And do the things to you like I can
He cant, he cant love you girl
Hes never gonna love you girl
Like I love you girl
He cant, he cant love you girl
Hes never gonna love you girl
Like I love you girl
He cant, he cant love you girl
Hes never gonna love you girl
Like I love you girl
He cant, he cant love you girl
He cant love you like I love you
Baby you know it too
And you should never wanna be with a man
If he cant be a man
And do the things to you like I can
