Mermaid
Hey when I was a lad in fishing town an old man said to me
You can spend your life your jolly life just sailing on the sea
Now you can search the world for pretty girls till your eyes are weak and dim
But don't go swimming with the mermaid son if you don't know how to swim
If you don't know how to swim
For her hair is green as seaweed and her skin is blue and pale
And I tell you now before you start you can love that girl with all your heart
But you're just gonna love the upper part you're not gonna like the tail
So I signed onto a whaling ship and my very first day at sea
I seen a mermaid in the waves reaching out to me
Come live with me in the sea said she and down on the ocean's floor
I'll show you a million wonderous things you never seen before
Oh you never seen before
So over I jumped and she pulled me down down to her seaweed bed
And the pillow made of tortoise shell she placed beneath my head
She fed me shrimps and caviar upon the silver dish
From her head to her waist she was my taste but the bottom part was a fish
Oh her bottom part was a fish
Oh her hair were green as seaweed her eyes were blue and pale
And I loved that girl with all my heart I vowed we'd never part
But I knew the back was not too smart cause I did not like the tail
And then one day when I looked up I saw a sailin' ship
And I met the stare of a millionaire out on a fishing trip
A diamond ring he tied to a string and lowered it down to the water
And my love divine she went for his line and that was the way he caught her
Yes that was the way he caught her
So I sat and cried to the tide same to the clams and whales
How I missed my love her seaweed hair and the silvery shine of her scales.
Just then her sister swam on by, and set my heart awhirl
For her upper part was an ugly old fish but the bottom part was girl
Yes the bottom part was girl
Yes her knees are pink and rosy and her toes are small and frail
Her body it's a work of art and I love that girl with all my heart
And I don't give a damn about the upper part and that's how I end my tale

I Promise You
it's in the silences,
The words you never say
I see it in your eyes,
It always starts the same way
It seems like everyone we know is breaking up
Does anybody ever stay in love, anymore?
I promise you,
From the bottom of my heart
I will love you till death do us part
I promise you as a lover and a friend
I will love you like i never love again
With everything i am
Ooh i see you look at me,
When you think i'm not aware
You're searching for clues,
Of just how deep my feelings are.
How do you prove the sky is blue, the oceans wide?
All i know is what i feel,
When i look into your eyes
I promise you,
From the bottom of my heart
I will love you till death do us part
I promise you as a lover and a friend
I will love you like i never love again
With everything that i am ooh yeah
Oh there are no guarantees
That's what you always say to me
But late at night i feel the tremble in your touch
Oh what i'm trying to say to you,
I never said to anyone i promise
I promise you,
From the bottom of my heart
I will love you till death do us part
(i do my darling i promise you)
I promise you as a lover and a friend
I will love you like i never love again
With everything i am i promise you,
From the bottom of my heart
I will love you till death do us part
( i love you i love you i love you i love you)
I promise you as a lover and a friend
I will love you like i never love again
With everything i am
You're everything i am oh yeah
With everything i am

Back n Blue
Every night
Caught up on the same old dream
I hear your broken heart
Crumbling down and haunting me
And everyday
Try to tell myself it aint so hard
But then I hear your name
And it feels like a grip around my heart
till I change the way you feel
till I change the world
So help me girl
Ill show you wounds can heal
Chorus
* tell ya what Im gonna do
Ill be comin back for you
Ill move the mountains
Part the sea
Anything for you
Ill be back n blue
Back n blue
Forget that girl
She could never take your place
Its hard enough
When you look at me that way
I know I was caught red-handed
I wouldnt blame you if you twist the knife
I swear Ive come to my senses
Tell me what to do
Anyday Ill make it right
Ive got to change the way you feel
If I have to Ill change the world
So help me girl
Ill beg borrow and steal
If thats what it takes
* repeat
Back n blue
Back n blue
Back n blue
Back n blue
At t-till make you believe me
Im prepared to make any sacrifice
The shadow of our love keeps gettin bigger
Without your love Ill sure die
Chorus
Tell you what Im gonna do
I keep comin back for you
Ill move the mountains
Part the sea
Anything for you
Ill be back n blue back n blue
Back n blue
So help me girl
Beg borrow and steal
If thats what it takes
Ill be back n blue back n blue
Im prepared to make any sacrifice

Loser Girl
Sat alone in a corner,
Not quite being anyone,
Watching from the shadows,
Hidden from the sun,
The time crawling past,
As her lips stay tightly closed,
For fear that if she speaks,
Her opinions will be opposed,
She's just the loser girl,
The loner girl,
Who never says her part,
The loser girl,
The loner girl,
The girl with a broken heart,
No one approaches her,
She just doesn't fit,
The spark in her is gone,
The candle that won't be lit,
Things happened long ago,
That she'll never forgive,
Someone broke her apart,
Now she's terrified to live,
She's just the loser girl,
The loner girl,
Who never says her part,
The loser girl,
The loner girl,
The girl with a broken heart,
I'm just the loser girl,
The loner girl,
Who never says her part,
I'm the the loser girl,
The loner girl,
I'm the girl with a broken heart...
This song is for the girls who pushed away and now I'm fast becoming the loser girl. Thanks a lot. I'll never be the same again.

Train Of Love
Train of love
Racing from heart to heart
Running late
Still in the lonely part
This train will never run me down
But only take me where Im bound
Its part of me and part of you
Ill always be a part of you
Sail along, sail along silver moon
Dont be blue
Throw shadows in my room
I know in time well meet again
We come and go that way, my friend
Its part of me and part of you
Ill always be a part of you
To love and honor til death do us part
Repeat after me
This train is never going back
When the lonesome whistle blows
No one knows, no one knows
Train of love, train of love
Train of love, train of love
Its part of me, its part of you

Do I Know You
(toby keith)
Do I know you
Have we ever met
Youve got a smile I could never forget
Perhaps youve mistaken me for someone you know
Whats that you say
Am I losin my mind
Thats just one of the things girl
That I left behind
You must be talkin about something
That happened a long time ago
If I forgot to remember your name and your face
Excuse me forgetting I must have misplaced
That part of my life that left all the scars
From the back of my mind, to the bottom of my heart
Theres a look in your eyes
Ive seen before
Its all too familiar but I cant be sure
Ive got a memory somewhere
That looks a lot like you
Im still confused
With these feelings inside
I want to reach out and hold you and I wanna hide
Tell me did I really love you
Or are you someone that I never knew
If I forgot to remember your name and your face
Excuse me forgetting I must have misplaced
That part of my life that left all the scars
From the back of my mind, to the bottom of my heart
If I forgot to remember your name and your face
Excuse me forgetting I must have misplaced
That part of my life that left all the scars
From the back of my mind, to the bottom of my heart

I Know You By Heart
Everybody wants to find a love
Somebody, somebody who will always care
We get locked up in our own worlds
With feelings and secrets were afraid to share
But all I have to do is see you smile
And maybe, just maybe if I brush your hand
Something happens I cannot explain
And somehow, oh somehow I can understand
I, I think youre gonna find
Gonna find you
Gonna find you
Im reading your mind
I know you by heart
And youre so much a part of me
I know you by heart, yes I do
Its no wonder I can love you the way that I do
I can finish any sentence you start
I know you, I know you by heart
I know everytime youre gonna call
I pick up the phone before it ever rings
And when you need some lovin Ill be there
Beside you anticipating everything
Oh its like I always said
Youre the one I want
All I want is you
Im inside your head
I know you by heart
Girl, youre so much a part of me
I know you by heart, yes I do
Its no wonder I can love you the way that I do
I can finish any sentence you start
I know you, I know you by heart
Its no wonder I can love you the way that I do
I can finish any sentence you start
I know you, I know you by heart
I know you by heart
And youre so much a part of me

Its no wonder I can love you the way that I do

Breaking Up
breaking up is so very hard to do
especially when it's me and you
we have tried to keep our love alive
but! apparantly it has died.
love and respect go hand in hand
and that is something you don't understand
if respect you had given me
this love would have lasted eternally.
when we first got together
life seemed so much better
then with time you started to change
and with any problem-i was to blame.
i tried to give you the world
and into our life came a little girl
with this little girl i thought that things would get better
instead you became a control fanatic
and any little word it became static.
i know that everything in life is two sided
right-wrong-up-down-so i listened to your complaints
about everything including me
and i made changes drastically.
but the changes were to no avail
for you did not see that you still tried to control me
and everyone around.
and if they did'nt agree you'd put them to the ground
love is not who is in control
love grows from the inner soul
and if this did not happen to you
that your knees are weak, your heart skips a beat
and everything in life seems happy and gay
and your mind starts to stray.
then i think that what it is-is that i never entered your heart
deep enough to make those feelings rise
instead you chose to live a lie
so with this we must part
in hopes that we'll both find a new start.
this is the part of breaking up that we must bear
this is the part of breaking up that we both share

Little Girl
It was just the month of may,
Words got in my way, girl Im so sorry
So Im reaching out to you,
With the hope to see you through
Just another day
Do you see
The words Im trying to say,
But words get in my way, girl I really mean it,
Yes I warned you from the start
That I could break your heart
So girl dont stay
Ooh, ooh little girl
Ooh, ooh little girl
Ooh, ooh little girl
Im the fool that plays the part, the one
That broke your heart,
Girl Im so sorry, so what more can a poor boy do,
Im reaching out to you,
So now dont you stay
(chorus)
Shades turn red from green to blue,
What more can I do, I told you this before,
So please walk out hat door
I told you from the start
That love could break your heart,
Girl Im so sorry, ooh ooh little girl

Youre the biggest part of me

Back in silent town
Thinkin of ways to get you back

Lovein me all the love you can give
But youve got to go

Lose my mind

My Fish Family
Theres a man on the front porch
Says hes related to me
But lately Im finding
It hard to believe
This house is filled with
Spooks and ghosts
They say theyre family
But they are strangers at most
Theyre strange fishes of the deep blue sea
And absolutely nothing like me
They swim around their little treasure chests
When it comes to loving me they give it their fish best
But its hard with all those scales
Of good and bad you see (2nd time: of morality)
Theyre my fish family
My fish family
They may try and hook me
Or put me in a tank
They may try and book me
For robbing a fish bank
cause misunderstanding comes easily
But theyre blowing bubbles
And I can hardly breathe
And when will they understand
I just wanna marry a man
Without seaweed in his teeth,
Without barnacle for hair
Without seaweed in his ears
But their fish ears wont hear me
Theyre my fish family
Theyre strange fishes of the deep blue sea
And absolutely nothing like me
They swim around their little treasure chests
When it comes to loving me they give it their fish best
But its hard with all those scales of morality
Theyre my fish family
My fish family.

Don't Let's Start
Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't don't don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And i don't get around how you get around
When you are alone you are the cat, you are the phone
You are an animal
The words i'm singing now
Mean nothing more than meow to an animal
Wake up and smell the cat food in your bank account
But don't try to stop the tail that wags the hound
D, world destruction
Over and overture
N, do i need
Apostrophe t, need this torture?
Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't don't don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And i don't get around how you get around
No one in the world ever gets what they want and that is beautiful
Everybody dies frustrated and sad and that is beautiful
They want what they're not and i wish they would stop saying,
Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa
Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa
D, world destruction
Over and overture
N, do i need
Apostrophe t, need this torture?
Don't don't don't let's start

Could believe for all the world
That you're my precious little girl
But don't don't don't let's start
I've got a weak heart
And i don't get around how you get around
I don't want to live in this world anymore
I don't want to live in this world
Don't don't don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world

But don't don't don't let's start

Too Sentimental
(graham russell, brad buxer)
One world, one love, these can never be apart
Whisper in your words what is in your heart
How can I stop this emotion knowing that its true
Am I too sentimental for you
Have I gone too far
If I knew this feeling is part of you too, girl
Midnight, candlelight
Knowing you are close to me
So much I have inside
Ive got to set it free
With you silence can be spoken
If love has broken through
Am I too sentimental for you
Have I gone too far
If I knew that this feeling is part of you too, girl
Ooh, sentimental man
Am I saying too much too soon
cause I love you
Such a gentle girl
Waiting for you
One love, two touch, we can never be apart
I want you so much for what is in your heart
How can we stop this emotion knowing that its true
Am I too sentimental for you
Have I gone too far
If I knew that this feeling is part of you too, girl

Apart
A part of this world I open my eyes and breathe...
Apart of this world I wonder what they think of me on Facebook
A part of this world I laugh at how beautiful everyone is...
Apart of this world I check to see who likes my comments
A part of this world I live in the brilliant orgasm of now...
Apart of this world I lay down some anonymous hate as Guest42
A part of this world I sigh at the joke of separation
Apart of this world I struggle to connect to someone worth it
A part of this world I smile at every pretty girl...
Apart of this world I smile at the pretty girls
A part of this world I am very close, closer than comfort...
Apart of this world I feel so very far away and so alone

Put It On Me (Mainstream Version)
Where would I be without my baby
The thought Alone Might break me
ANd I dont wanna go crazy
But every thug needs a lady
Girl In this life, you and I been more than together,
Inseperable you chose pain over pleasure
For that you will ever be a part of me,
mind body and soul theres no I in we baby
When you cry who wipes your tears,
when you scared who's tellin you theres nothin to fear
girl I'll always be there, when you need a shoulder to lean on
never hesitate, knowin you can your soul mate
and vice versa and thats why I'll be the first to see J up and frost your wrists up
now ya owe me, I know you tired of bein lonely, so baby girl put it on me
Where would I be without you, I only think about you
I know your tired of bein lonely, so baby girl put it on me..
Where would I be without you, I only think about you,
I know your tired of bein lonely, so baby girl put it on me
ANd I appreciate the rocks and gifts that you copped me baby,
and the house on the hill when you dropped like 80
on the down payment thinkin damn aint life crazy
and ever since for my hunny I've been twice the lady
What would I do without the nights that you kept me warm
When this cold world had a girl caught in the storm
And I accept when u riff, when you caught in the wrong
And respect when you flip cuz our love is strong
ANd when you hit the block, I watch for 10 fold
and when my pops asleep you snuck in the back door
baby beau we been down since junior high
so when life get hot as july its the world against you and I
We ballin tied forever and ever
Heart from the heart knew that it would last forever
When you told me, you would never leave me lonely,
so baby boy put it on me
Where would I be without you,
I only think about you
I know your tired of bein lonely,
so baby girl put it on me
Repeat: where would I be without you
Since we met its been you and I,
a tear for a tear baby eye for an eye
and you know that my heart gonna cry
when you leave me, lonely
cuz you not just my love you my homie
who's gonna console me, My love
I'm out a control hold me, My love
cuz I'm yours, and I dont wanna do nothin to hurt my baby girl
if this was our world, it'd be all yours baby,
the thought alone might break me,
and i dont wanna go crazy,
cuz every thug needs a lady
feelin you baby cuz them eyes aint right, wash away the tears
baby no more cryin baby,
and you complete me, and I would die if you aint with me,
so baby girl put it on me
Where would I be without you
I only think about you
I know your tired of bein lonely,

Deepest Love The World Has Known
i've searched the fields the world over
searching for that four leaf clover.
thinking that this could fill my life
of the voids within my heart.
but the biggest void was from you
from the start.
a four leaf clover could never replace
when i fell from your grace.
i have learned from my sins.
and i'm hoping that i could get back in.
back into that beautiful heart
where i could make a brand new start
in your love i was like a fish in the sea
because your beauty 'totally surrounded me'.
in every direction that i swam.
i could always see, that your deep love
became a part of me.
my love has reached the bottom of the ocean floor
rose up and touched every shore.
i have swam the world over, and
never looking over my shoulder.
for my love is deeper and wider than the ocean itself.
it will reach heaven and it will touch hell
and if you were to see it, you could surely tell.
the deepest love the world has known
is the love, that i have shown.
not the height of the universe
or the depth of the ocean
could compare to my infinite love and devotion.
now! you ask me for who can this love be.
IT IS FOR CHRIST, FOR HE HAS SET ME FREE.

Another Lonely Girl
Orbison/melson
Recorded 1961 by mark dinning
Each time I hear some poor girl cry
See the tears in her eyes
It always breaks my heart in two
When theres nothing I can do for her
Shes just another lonely girl
If I could take them one by one
And teach them how to have lots of fun
Make them fall in love with me
Mmm mmm, thered never be another lonely girl
Another lonely girl, another lonely girl
Mmm mmm, thered never be another lonely girl
Now its not fair that they should cry
And be so all alone
Love should treat them tenderly
Never treat them wrong
Ooh no, there should never be another lonely girl
I know how it feels to love someone
I know how it feels to part
So if some lonely girl gives me her heart
Ill never break her heart
Oh no, shell never be another lonely girl
Another lonely girl, another lonely girl
Mmm mmm, thered never be another lonely girl

A Girl Named Paige
A girl named Paige
With eyes and a face so bright
A girl named Paige
Came into my dreary life
My life, so dark
So full of strife
A girl named Paige
About her I was told
To keep me away until I was old
A girl named Paige
A lesson she did teach
For me to keep sight of my reach
A girl named Paige
Broke my heart
As my world fell apart
A girl named Paige
Perfectly took the part
While adding another fool to her cart
A girl named Paige
Shook my whole world
My eyes were on no other girl
A girl named Paige
Fooled me into loving her
While she secretly lusted another, and another
A girl named Paige
Caused me endless pain
Of this, I'm not ashamed
A girl named Paige
Made me go insane
This girl is love's bane
A girl named Paige
Caused me to do so much
To love her such
A girl named Paige
Made my heart bleed
The woe of pain it did heed
A girl named Paige
I'll never be the same
In that group, she came
A girl named Paige
I loved a whole whole lot
A feeling she returned, did not
A girl named Paige
Others showed me how she was
She screws around just because
A girl named Paige
Has had several boyfriends
She shares between her and her best friend
A girl named Paige
Is sleeping around
Like her mother, she's been around town
A girl named Paige
Has 4 sisters
If you see her vermin family, you surely won't miss her
A girl named Paige
I felt so much emotion
Caused so much devastation
A girl named Paige
Fooled me she loved me so
She can't fool anyone no more
A girl named Paige
Has no future for her
She'll be working as a stripper
A girl named Paige
Will have a horrible existence
For her whole being is full of pestilence
A girl named Paige
Makes you love
A false gift from above
A girl named Paige
Should be gone from this world
She gives a bad name to all other girls
For Paige G.
