Great Expectations

When I look up at these hollowed walls of high achievement and storied victories
I can hear irony laughing cause you see pride where I see vanity
Impressing all of your friends has never been one of my intentions
My heart is set of different goals
I wont be a trophy for anyone
So sorry if I havent quite lived up to your great expectations
You know if I could Id walk on water for you but
I have limitations
Tell me when your ego gets hungry do you shake the smaller fruit off the family tree
And when you go to sleep do you forget to count the black sheep
Sometimes whats simple math to most doesnt add up when you get behind closed doors
A photo may speak a thousand words but do you really get the picture I just want a life to call my own is that too much to ask for
The fact is Ive committed no crime here
And I apologize for nothing so open up your eyes and try to realize
That we dont share the same worldview
I dont mean to disrespect but dont you ever forget
That I cant live my life for you

Behind Closed Doors

Written by new order
There is a secret place
Underneath a tree
Where if you go and haste
You will find a key
The key will open doors
And you will look inside
The things that you will see
Will open up your eyes
At any given time
On every other street
The city comes to life
Though everyones asleep
A man beats up his wife
He doesnt wanna keep
Behind closed doors
Theyre in retreat
I dont know what makes me stay
The city life just aint the same
Theres something wrong with kids today
I blame the parents anyway
Theres no hope
No one to trust
I cant cope
Its obvious
Please dont take my drugs away
Im gonna give them up someday
There is a place somewhere
That I could call a home
Id live without a care
Id never be alone
One day I will get there
I feel it in my bones
I check upon the scores
I listen to the coors
Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
They still want more
Behind closed doors

from those nights when we were both at our best
and now i could make this obvious

If You Talk In Your Sleep

(words & music by red west - johnny christopher)
I know youre a lonely woman and I love you
But someone else is waiting and he owns you
If he should ever wake up, make sure that your story is straight love
If you talk in your sleep dont mention my name
And if you walk in your sleep forget where you came
Walking every night here in the shadows
So afraid that sometime he may follow
Theres always the chance hell find us
I dont need to remind you
If you talk in your sleep dont mention my name
If you walk in your sleep forget where you came
Love is so much sweeter when its borrowed
Ill feel a little easier tomorrow
Dont give our secret away, be careful what you say
If you talk in your sleep dont mention my name
If you walk in your sleep forget where you came
Forget where you came, now
Forget where you came
Dont mention my name
Dont mention my name
Forget where you came

Sugaree

When they come to take you down when they bring that wagon round
When they come to call on you and drag your poor body down
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
You thought you was the cool fool and never could do no wrong
Had everything sewed up tight. how come you lay awake all night long
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
Well in spite of all you gained you still had to stand out in the pouring rain
One last voice is calling you and I guess its time you go
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
Well shake it up now sugaree, Ill meet you at the jubilee
Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just dont tell them that you know me

Hes Got A Secret

(v. peterson)
Susanna
Oh, there he goes
Everybodys watching
Everybody knows
Somethings going on
It certainly shows
When hes got a secret for you
Its there when he walks
Its there when he smiles
He kisses your cheek
And disappears for a while
Nothing in the worlds
Gonna cramp his style
If only he could keep it from you
Oh, I dont believe that
You havent seen by now (seen by now)
Dont look at me
cause Ill never tell
Dont you ever wonder
Why the phone always rings (phone always rings)
Seven-thirty-one
Every evening (every evening)
Doesnt it upset you
When you call his name
And he doesnt pay attention to you.
Oh, I dont believe that
You havent seen by now (seen by now)
Dont look at me
cause Ill never tell
Dont know the places he goes
Dont know the people he knows
Dont you understand
Its out of your hands
Oh i, dont believe that
You havent seen by now (seen by now)
Dont look at me
cause Ill never tell

Sunrise

Ive been waiting to hear your voice for too long now
One way conversations do not work somehow
Tell me how does one get your soul in touch with the one above
When one way conversations pay a price for the use of love
I tried so hard last night you would not talk to me
I live with the fear of the few with the gift
And I know whats going to be
Why did you never speak my name in front of my family
You gave a gift that you then took away
Like you never did before
Your name might be God but you dont say that much to me
Your name might be God but you dont say that much to me
We might be your black sheep
But you forgot us a long time ago
We might be your lost sheep
But its time you remembered us now
As we spend our days together, nothing can go wrong
No one told the truth about it because it was so strong
If you ever think of me, if you hear my name
If you read between the lines, youll hang your head in shame
These ? ? ? ears will never hear, the ice will never freeze
Whatever I have done for you I did because you complained
( whatever you may think of me whatever you may say
Ive lived my whole life in danger,
Youve lived your life in hate )*

TO MY SMILE STAY UP

WE ALL HAVE A LIFE GOD GAVE TO USE AND NEVER TO

Dont Forget To Dance

You look out of your window,
Into the night.
Could be rain, could be snow,
But it cant feel as cold as youre feeling inside.
And all of you friends are either married, vanished,
Or just left alone.
But thats no reason to just stop living.
Thats no excuse to just give in to a sad and lonely heart.
Dont forget to dance, no, no, no,
Dont forget to smile.
Dont forget to dance, no, no, no,
Forget it for a while.
cause darling, darling,
I bet you danced a good one in your time.
And if this were a party
Id really make sure the next one would be mine.
Yes, you with the broken heart.
Dont forget to dance, no, no, no,
Dont forget to smile.
Dont forget to dance, no, no, no,
Forget it for a while.
Dont forget to dance, no, no, no,
Forget it for a while.
You walk down the street
And all the young punks whistle at you.
A nice bit of old,
Just goes to show what you can achieve
With the right attitude.
As you pass them by
They whisper their remarks one to another,
And you give them the eye
Even that you know that you could be their mother.
You do the thing you love the most.
What separates you from the rest,
And what you love to do the most?
And when they ask me how you dance,
I say that you dance real close.
Dont forget to dance, no, no, no,
Dont forget to dance.

If I Dont Tell You Now

Ooh ooh oh yeah
I kept it inside for the longest time and I cant keep keeping it
All this love thats inside of my heart
Maybe its safer not to say that I care
Maybe this road wont lead me anywhere
But if I dont tell you now (if I dont tell you now)
I may never get the chance again (I may never get the chance again)
To tell you that I need you, tell you what Im feeling
If I keep these feelings in
And if I dont say the words (if I dont say the words)
How will you hear whats inside my heart
How will you know then
If I dont tell you now
Ohhh
Id do anything to be in your dreams and I cant stand standing by
With this dream thats inside my heart(heart)
Maybe Im only gonna make a mistake
And theres a chance maybe my heart will break
But if I dont tell you now (if I dont tell you now)
I may never get the chance again (I may never get the chance again)
To tell you that I need you, tell you what Im feeling
If I keep these feelings in
And if I dont say the words (if I dont say the words)
How will you hear whats inside my heart
How will you know then
If I dont tell you now
Ooooooh
How will you know youre inside my soul
Oh its driving me crazy
Cause you dont see, youre the world to me
Im so afraid to see
The way that I feel for you
If I dont tell you now (if I dont tell you now)
I may never get the chance again (I may never get the chance again)
To tell you that I need you, tell you what Im feeling
If I keep these feelings in
And if I dont say the words (if I dont say the words)
How will you hear whats inside my heart
How will you know then
If I dont tell you now
Ohhhh ohhhh
If I dont tell you now

Dont You Want Me

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up, and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on youve got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But dont forget its me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too
Dont, dont you want me?
You know I cant believe it when I hear that you wont see me
Dont, dont you want me?
You know I dont believe you when you say that you dont need me
Its much too late to find
You think youve changed your mind
Youd better change it back or we will both be sorry
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew Id find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now I think its time I lived my life on my own
I guess its just what I must do
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh

I Dont Want To See You Again

(jackson leap)
I dont want to see you
cause I dont want to feel you
Dont look so surprised
I told you that Id say good-bye
If you couldnt just make up your mind
You keep saying love can wait
But I cant and its too late
This old heart has just run out of time
I dont want to see you
cause I dont want to feel you
I dont want a love that I cant win baby
I dont want you to call
cause if I cant have it all
I dont want to see you again
When your new life gets you down
Dont be tempted to come around
Just think of all the times I let you slide
And when your teardrops finally come
Youll realize that Im the one
But I wont be there when its your turn to cry
I dont want to see you
cause I dont want to feel you
I dont want a love that I cant win baby
I dont want you to call
cause if I cant have it all
I dont want to see you
I dont want to see you
I dont want to feel you
I dont want a love that I cant win baby
I dont want you to call
cause if I cant have it all
I dont want to see you again

Dont Ask Me

I got ideas but I dont know it all
And when I speak you know my voice is small
And when Im walking down the street
I never smile at folks I meet
Cause I know they wont smile at me
Now ask yourself why this should be
But if you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me
If you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me
I got feelings but they dont count for much
And I shake my fist but I got no power as such
But if I tell you what I see
Dont throw my words right back at me
Cause I cant shout and I cant moan
Cause I got problems of my own
But if you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me
If you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me
Someday soon I gotta learn enough
To justify my actions
Until then I want you all to try
To share my gut reactions
Gut reactions
But if you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me
If you want the answers
If you want the answers
Dont ask me

Next Step

I wanna go up where something matters
I wanna blow up where matter scatters
I wanna live into the future
I want to give... more girl
Next step
No side stepping this time
Cross over life on the line
One thing to talk big
Go to follow thru
All set
Got to get past the present too
Dont want to reach out for yesterday
Dont want to block the shock of the new
I wanna see what new love will bring
Im gonna give all that love to you
Whats the next step
My mind is open wide
Next step
Whatll be the next step baby
Whats the next step
Im finished with the past
Next step
Wont be the last step baby
You wanna wake up with me beside you
You wanna shake off bad thoughts inside you
Were gonna walk on into tomorrow
Were gonna have more fun now
Dont look around for yesterday
No blocking out the shock of the new
Do you wanna see what new love can bring
Im gonna give all that love to you
Whats the next step
My mind is open wide
Next step
Whatll be the next step baby
Whats the next step
I havent got a clue
Next step
Wanna make the next step with you
Whats the next step
Gonna take it gonna take it
Next step
Gonna step right
Wont step back
Whats the next step
No bad songs
No bad songs
Next step
Say hey
Dont you want to take the next step
Ring out the old
Ring in the new
Never know til I do what Im gonna do
Say hey
I want to take the next step
Say hey
Whats the next step
My mind is open wide
Whatll be the next step baby
Next step
Whats the next step
Aint gonna be the last
Next step
Forget about the past

Weve got to open up
When the next step comes along
Ive got to follow thru
Take the next step with you
I wanna ring out the old and ring in the new
Come out of the cold
Take a step with you

Fight

You know some days I like me.
Some days I dont.
Some days I try with passion.
Sometimes I wont.
I might just hold my guard up,
And lock my heart up tight,
But its the door thats open,
Letting in the light.
Theres a battle raging
Inside of me.
Its a holy struggle,
And it wont let go of me.
No, no, no,
I dont want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.
I used to sit and ponder
If Id be fine,
If jesus lived his own life,
And I lived mine.
But love is such a magnet,
It pulled me night and day,
Until my needy heart
Just couldnt stay away.
Life can drive you crazy,
Or just about.
But even when its most frustrating,
This kids not walking out.
No, no, no,
I dont want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
Sure its tough but I wont deny it,
No, no, no,
I dont want to waste my life hiding,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.
Ive made up my mind now,
I dont want to lose out, (unguarded)
Beginning to see now,
What the fight is about, (unguarded heart)
I gotta stay open,
Keep defenses all down, (unguarded)
Dont want to be hiding,
When the love comes round.
No, no, no,
I dont want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.
No, no, no,
I dont want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
Sure its tough but I wont deny it,
No, no, no,
I dont want to waste my life hiding,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.
No, no, no,
I dont want to stop the fight, now,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right, now.
No, no, no,
I dont want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.
No, no, no,
I just cant stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
If I want to live right.
No, no, no,
I dont want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.
No, no, no...

The Night He Cant Remember

(trace adkins/kenny beard/sarah majors)
He lost his job that mornin stopped off and bought a fifth of pride
A reality eraser, a little taste to help face her that night
He broke his same ol promise when he showed up with whiskey on his breath
That night he cant remember, the one that she cant forget
Now hes been clean and sober since twenty-three october 95
His drinking days are over but theres that one she cant get off her mind
He tries to apologize but cant recall and dont realize
She wont forgive whatever he said
That night he cant remember, the one she cant forget
Well, she never has remarried cause she never has stopped carryin the pain
It serves as a reminder that the man she left behind her just couldnt change
If she only knew she probably saved his life the night she left
That night he cant remember, the one that she just cant forget
Now hes been clean and sober since twenty-three october 95
His drinking days are over but theres that one she cant get off her mind
And he tries to apologize but cant recall and dont realize
She wont forgive whatever he said
That night he cant remember
Oh the night he cant remember, the one she cant forget
The night he cant remember is the one she cant forget

Please Dont Let It Go

Were drifting apart,
But I wont give up, no
Wherever you are I belong
Love sings us a song
But we fail to sing along
Wherever you go I will follow
So please dont let it
Please dont let it go
And if you wont let it I wont let it go
Please dont let it
Please dont let it go
And if you wont let it I wont let it go
You try to be strong
Youve tried it oh so long
Whatever I do I do it wrong
And love sings our song
So eager to sing along
Whatever you do I know it
So please dont let it
Please dont let it go
Cause if you wont let it I wont let it go
Please dont let it
Please dont let it go
Cause if you wont let it I wont let it go
Dont let go of life
Let go of love
Let go of all we have
So dont let go of trust
Let go of lust
Let go of all we share
So please dont let it
Please dont let it go
And if you wont let it I wont let it go
Please dont let it
Please dont let it go
And if you wont let it I wont let it go
So please dont let it
Please dont let it go
Cause if you wont let it I wont let it go
Please dont let it
Please dont let it go
Cause if you wont let it I wont let it go

I Dont Know & I Dont Care

By: jim mayer & jimmy buffett
Why does the sun set in the west
And why does my heart keep beating in my chest
What ever happened to the duke of earl
I gotta pbs mind in an mtv world
Is it ignorance or apathy
I forget these lessons taught to me
Some say life isnt fair
Hey I dont know and I dont care
Ambivalent, well yes and no
Hey where did all the hippies go
Our conversation sounds like actors lines
Is it time for your medication or mine
Is it ignorance or apathy
I forget these lessons taught to me
Some say life isnt fair
Hey I dont know and I dont care
Therapy is extremely popular
Popin bubble wrap is radically cheap
You choose which one helps with your problem
Im gonna get some sleep
Im gonna get some sleep
(harp solo)
Sandy beaches in distant reaches
And all those lovely georgia peaches
Its never too much and never too late
To pack your bags and get out of state
Is it ignorance or apathy
The worried will all disagree
Some say life isnt fair
Hell I dont know and I dont care
If youre looking for a quote from me
Ill be under the mango tree
I just cant say how Ill get there
Hey I dont know and I dont care
I dont know and I dont care
I dont know and I dont care
White man rap
Je ne sais pas (I dont know)
Je ne carer (I dont care - bastardized french? )
And math still suks
Uh oh thats the end of this record I gotta go out on the town
I dont know and I dont care

And dont make me crawl

Give you half what I got
If you untie the knot

Shake it shake it shake it salome
Shake it shake it shake it salome

Well I heard it before
When I crawled from your door
And my blood turned blue

Dont make me stick to my promise

Shake it shake it shake it salome

Baby please

Wont you dance for me
Under the cherry tree
Wont you swing down low
Please
Baby please say yes
Baby dont go away
Youre spilling me
And your precious love
Salome...salome
Shake it shake it shake it salome
Shake it shake it shake it salome
Salome...shake it shake it shake it salome
Salome...shake it shake it shake it salome
Salome...shake it shake it shake it salome
