Church Street

My friends quietly dropped out of high school.
It seemed each week we had parties for some guy
Going into jail or getting released.
It’s not that anyone thought this was cool,
Only good wishes that the time would fly,
And after twenty beers all his fears might cease.
Now that I look back, with no emotion,
We needed parties. We liked company.
We hardly needed a reason at all:
Never sweet-sixteen or graduation,
But funeral, fresh hitch in the army,
Baby soon for the sad girl in the hall.
We’d vent, catch any reason to not grieve,
Revel down days torn from the years we’d leave.

Never Had A Reason To

(tim nichols, mark d. sanders)
All the girls I grew up with
Got a husband house and kids
Thats what everybody did after school
If Id had a steady boyfriend
I mighta stuck around like them but
Back then I never had a reason to
L.a.s like another planet
Had to live there to understand it
And I thought when I first landed that californias cool
Till I saw good girls gettin outta control
Endin up sellin their souls
Oh no I never had a reason to
Chorus:
I never had a reason to stay
To not walk away
Nobodys heart was gonna break over me
I never had somethin worth keepin
Or somebody I needed
Like Im needin you
Baby dont you see its true
I never had a reason to believe in love
To some love comes as a vision
To some its a sweet baptism
Me and love had a head on collision
When I ran into you
Got some feelings Im figurin out
No I dont know exactly how
Until now I never had a reason to
Repeat chorus (leave off in love)
Repeat chorus

Must Have Been High

(And I must have been high
And I must have been high)

I thought of every reason
Excuses I could give
But all it took was one to break your heart
(And I must have been high)
I thought it would be easy
Assumed you would forgive
But now I gotta beg you girl
Can't stand to be apart

And I must've been high
Girl to let you by
No good reason why
There's no you and I
And I must've been low
Girl to let you go
How was I to know
I would miss you so
(Girl I'd miss you so)

I wanted to move on girl
No time to settle down
Didn't wanna give my love to only you
But since you have been gone girl
I took a look around
And if I've gotta beg you girl
That's what I'm gonna do

And I must've been high
Girl to let you by
No good reason why
There's no you and I
(And I must have been high now baby)
And I must've been low
Girl to let you go
How was I to know
I would miss you so
(Girl I miss you so)

Oh girl
I'll give you everything I gotta give
Oh girl
And I will make it all up I swear to you
Oh girl
All I'm askin' you please is to forgive me girl
That's what you gotta do

And I must have been...
(So high...
So high...)
And I must have been high
(oooh oh yeah now tell me baby)
(oooh)

You Said

Verse 1
It was you, it was me
It was love, it was real
We would touch, we would kiss
And wed love the way it feel
It was time spent together
Leaving all the world behind
And I thought it would last
But only time would tell, so I waited on time
Pre-Hook
How could you be so selfish
Never once did you compromise
And you wonder why Im trippin
Shake my head and close me eyes
How could you never listen
When I try to talk to you
And you knew something was missing
When Im running from the truth
Hook
Baby you said (You would never leave me)
Said you (Always be there for me)
I cant (Understand the reason)
Why you (Why you want to play me)
You said (You would never leave me)
Said you (Always be there for me)
I cant (Understand the reason)
Why you (Why you want to play me)
Verse 2
Remember when, we would chill
You would tell me how you feel
You wanted me, you needed me
The only one to ease your mind
I was caught by surprise
To hear you say you want to leave
But its cool if you gotta go
Then go ahead and leave, Im gonna be alright
Pre-Hook
Hook x2
Bridge
You used to be in love and you used to be so good
You used to drive me so crazy
Now is the time when you were loving me like you should
Back in the day you were my baby
You used to be in love and you used to be so good
You used to drive me so crazy
Now is the time when you were loving me like you should
Back in the day you were my baby
Hook x2

Whatcha Gonna Do (feat. MJG)

You Tell Me You're Keeping It Real With Me
You Tell Me That I'm The Only One
You Say You'll Never Leave Me Lonely Girl
But That Was A Lie
I Never Want To See Your Face Again
I Don't Even Want To Be Your Friend
Don't Wanna Be Used By You Again
So I'm Saying Goodbye
(1) Girl I Know That Your Thinkin
I'm Just Playin With Your Head
And I Know You've Been Tossing And Turning
In Your Bed
Trying To Figure Out The Reason Why I Left You All Alone
Was It Worth You Giving Up The Greatest Love You've Ever Known
(2) Baby Whatcha Gonna Do Without Me
Whatcha Gonna Do Without My Love
Whatcha Gonna Do When My Love Is Gone Away From You
Whatcha Gonna Do Without Me
And Everything I Used To Do For You
Whatcha Gonna Do When My Love Is Gone Away From You
I Never Shoulda Put My Trust In You
But I Never Thought You'd Let Me Down
It Seems Like You Get A Thrill Out Of
Out Of Making Me Cry
And Baby Everybody's Seen It But Me
Cause I Was So Blind I Couldn't See
I Never Really Needed Your Hell
I Could Do For Myself
Repeat 1
Repeat 2
Baby Can't You See
I Want It For You More Than You Want It For Yourself
(Always There For You)
I Was There For You For Whatever You Needed
(You Know What I've Gone Through For You)

I'm Gonna Say Bye Bye
Baby Now Whatcha Gonna Do
My Lovin Gone, The Money Gone, And The House Too
Now How Bout You
Get Away From Me
And Let Me Clear Me Mind
Your Son(??) Needs To Visit You One More Time
I Know You're Fine
But I Ain't Gonna Get Distracted By Your Charm
I Think Since The Beginning
You Intended Some Harm
Remain Calm
It Ain't No Reason To Drop The Bomb
She Get 10 Points Just For Being A Mom
But Still That's The Past Tense
I Was Speaking Of Then
You Ask Me About That Woman Now
She Gets A Negative 10
I Had To Catch Myself
Before I Tried To Make Her My Girl
Start A Family And Start To Bring Kids In This World
See It's Like A Gun
It Can Backfire, Then Shoot You
What's Good For The Present Ain't Always Good For The Future
I ??? Looked Deeply In The Mirror At Myself
Wondering If I Will Make It With Someone Else
Whatcha Think

School Is Not So Cool

School, School, School,
A school is not so cool
We're here 5 days a week
8 hours a day.
School, School, School,
A school is not so cool.
People laugh when we fall
we just have to make a call.
School, School, School
A school is not so cool.
We have to work hard to get good grades
I'm not going to do it no more
I do it everyday.
We cant go on the grass
We cant bother another class
We cant save spots at lunch
We have to go as a bunch.
We have 3 minutes in the hall
I'm always late what a ball.
We have to pay attention
if not we get detention.
School, School, School,
A school is not so cool.
They have to many rules
they play us as fools
if we get A's
the parents jump Hip Hip Hooray.
If we get F's
we tell them we need to take a rest.
We always have homework
we never have classwork
they have to many rules
they need to take it cool.

Twenty-four Seven

(j.b. rudd/vip vipperman)
Ive got this craving around the clock
And its got a hold on me
Ive had it bad since the moment we met
I cant get no relief
Youre the only train of thought on my one track mind
Going ninety miles an hour baby all the time
Twenty-four, seven
Youre the only thing that matters to me
Twenty-four hours girl, every day
Seven long days a week
Im in heaven, heaven
Twenty-four, seven
Every night when I go to sleep
In my dreams there you are
Youre the first thing I think about
And thats how the morning starts
It seems like everything I say and do
Is all about me being in love with you
Twenty-four, seven
Youre the only thing that matters to me
Twenty-four hours girl, every day
Seven long days a week
Im in heaven, heaven
Twenty-four, seven
Youre the only train of thought on my one track mind
Going ninety miles an hour baby all the time
Twenty-four, seven
Youre the only thing that matters to me
Twenty-four hours girl, every day
Seven long days a week
Im in heaven, heaven
Twenty-four, seven
Im in heaven

Seven long days a week
Im in heaven, heaven

Catch Up and Let's Mix

After years of sacrifice
And heartbreaking devotion.
Being a care provider...
Giving up possessions for sessions
Of despensing medications
Driving back and forth to keep appointments
Made with this doctor and that doctor.
Having little rest OR sleep for days
Weeks and years.
Trying to hold on the best I could
Because what I had done was not for myself,
But for my parents I love more than nothing else...
And one day you knock on my door,
As if there was a 'final' test to annoy what I had left!

And I thought to myself...
'Where were they when I needed
A helping hand to come my way?
When I needed a friend...
Not one friend could I call upon or depend!
And they knew I was struggling at my wits end!
And now that I'm 'back'...
They believe I want to share my peace with them?
I don't think so! '

I don't want to sound rude...
Or do anything crude.
But I'll share a lesson with you
Like we did as classmates in school!
You ready...?

'Sure! '

Okay.
Repeat after me...YOU

'You'

CAN

'Can'

KISS

'Kiss'

'MY! Hey Are you gonna say,
'You can kiss my ass! ? '

Terrific!
No 'A'...
But you'll go away,
Knowing you 'Got It'
Now if you don't mind...
I have things to do!
You've shown me what you thought,
Years ago when I needed you!
I'm not taking time for this 'Catch-up and let's mix,
Bullshit! '
Turn around!
You've got lots of space.
Enough for you to get out of my face.
I'm going to shut the door...
You will hear a click,
And that's your signal to leave and quick!
C-YA!

Whatcha Gonna Do

You tell me youre keepin it real with me
You tell me that Im the only one
You say youll never leave me lonely, girl
That was a lie
I never wanna see your face again
I dont even wanna be your friend
Dont wanna be used by you again
So Im saying goodbye
[1] - girl, I know that youre thinkin
Im just playing with your head
And I know you been tossing
And turning in your bed
Trying to figure out the reason
Why I left you all alone
Was it worth you giving up
The greatest love youve ever known
Listen baby
[2] - baby, whatcha gonna do without me
Whatcha gonna do without my love
Whatcha gonna do when my love is gone away from you
Whatcha gonna do without me
And everything I used to do for you
Whatcha gonna do when my love is gone away from you
Alright
I never shoulda put my trust in you
But I never thought youd let me down
It seems like you get a thrill out of
Out of making me cry
And baby everybodys seen it but me
Cuz I was so blind I couldnt see
I never really needed your help
I could do for myself
[repeat 1]
[repeat 2]
Baby, cant you see
I want it for you more
Than you want it for yourself
Always there for you
I was there for you, there for you
What ever you needed
You know what Ive gone through for you
[mjg]
I was saying bye-bye baby
Now whatcha gonna do
My love is gone, the money gone and the house too
Now how bout you?
Get away from me and let me clear my mind
This is hurtin me just to visit you one more time
I know you fine but I aint gonna get distracted by your charm
I figure this is the beginning, you intended some harm
Remain calm, it aint no reason to drop the ball
You should get 10 points just for being on my arm
But still, thats the past tense, I was speakin a then
You asking me bout that woman now, its a negative ten
I had to catch myself before I tried to make her my girl
Start a family and start to bring kids in this world
See life is like a gun, it can backfire then shoot you.
Whats good for the present aint always good for the future
I shake and shiver, look deeply in the mirrow at myself
Wondering will I make it with someone else
Whatcha gonna do...
[repeat 2 until fade]

Its Over Now

What is this?
Numbers in your pocket
I remember when you
Used to throw those things away
Why do you wanna keep in touch now?
Who gave you a reason?
To act so shady
Baby you know
You can call me anytime
Anything you needed I would give it to you
Ooh, thats how much I care for you
You wanna act now
Never call me back now
Turning off your cell phone
Girl you know that aint cool
Yes I dont understand baby yeah
[1] - baby its a shame we gotta go through this
We cant even talk
Girl we dont even kiss
I never wouldve thought
Wed be breaking up like this
But its over now
Its over now
You think that I dont know whats going on
Cause youre always home alone
And Im always out of town
You need to stop trying to play me
Cause you cant even fade me
I know youre messing around baby
Baby you know
You can call me anytime
Anything you needed I would give it to you
Thats how much I care for you baby
You wanna act now
Never call me back now
Turning off your cell phone
Girl you know that aint cool
Oh I dont understand baby
[repeat 1 (2x)]
Baby its a shame
A shame that we go through
The things that we go through
When youre in love with me
And Im in love with you
I think that we should talk about our problems
Instead of running away
Oh baby its a shame
We couldnt work it out
Forgot what love was all about
And the feelings we had from the start
My heart will always be with you, oh
Girl its over

the reason i grieve.
the reason i dance.
the reason i smile.
the reason i listen.
the reason i offer a hand.
the reason i see beauty.
the reason i see both darkness,

the reason i take chances.
the reason i keep going.
the reason i get angry.
the reason i forgive.

Ooh ya got it?

Cuz honey, this kind of beauty is the kind that comes from inside

How sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you.
I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were.

With sweet love and devotion, deeply touching my emotion,
I want to stop and thank you baby. I want to stop and thank you baby.

Tragedy at Graduation

A girl who is seventeen,
A girl who is Rory Gilmore,
A girl that walks with confidence,
A girl who always leaves the door open to endless possibility.

As enemies in high school,
Hatred ran through the veins of Jordyn Parker for me,
Jordyn and I both wanted to be lawyers,
I was accepted into Yale University, while Jordyn was not.

Chilton High School was the beginning of a tragic ending,
Only two valedictorians in the school,
I was one, Jordyn was the other,
The other chose to make herself absent.

A palace like structure was the place of Jordyn's disappearance,
All the lights were off in the building except for the auditorium,
The last time Jordyn was seen was at around 5: 00 p.m.,
The schedule was to begin at 7: 00 p.m.

Shock engulfed me leaving me helpless,
My heart began to beat faster and faster,
A silhouette could be seen in a room,
As I began to walk towards the room it too moved.

Graduation consumed my mind,
Graduation had consumed my mind for the past twelve years,
Where was she,
How could she not afford to not represent herself?

Jordyn passed away at 6: 55 p.m.,
All she needed was some direction,
Jealousy was the outline behind the sheet of actions,
In a letter she stated, 'the world is looking out for you.'
Tragedy at Graduation.

Back to the Army Again

I'm 'ere in a ticky ulster an' a broken billycock 'at,
A-layin' on the sergeant I don't know a gun from a bat;
My shirt's doin' duty for jacket, my sock's stickin' out o' my boots,
An' I'm learnin' the damned old goose-step along o' the new recruits!

Back to Army again, sergeant,
Back to the Army again.
Don't look so 'ard, for I 'aven't no card,
I'm back to the Army again!

I done my six years' service. 'Er Majesty sez: "Good day --
You'll please to come when you're rung for, an' 'ere's your 'ole back-pay:
An' fourpence a day for baccy -- an' bloomin' gen'rous, too;
An' now you can make your fortune -- the same as your orf'cers do."

Back to the Army again, sergeant,
Back to the Army again.
'Ow did I learn to do right-about-turn?
I'm back to the Army again!

A man o' four-an'-twenty that 'asn't learned of a trade --
Beside "Reserve" agin' him -- 'e'd better be never made.
I tried my luck for a quarter, an' that was enough for me,
An' I thought of 'Er Majesty's barricks, an' I thought I'd go an' see.

Back to the Army again, sergeant,
Back to the Army again.
'Tisn't my fault if I dress when I 'alt --
I'm back to the Army again!

The sergeant arst no questions, but 'e winked the other eye,
'E sez to me, " 'Shun!" an' I shunted, the same as in days gone by;
For 'e saw the set o' my shoulders, an' I couldn't 'elp 'oldin' straight
When me an' the other rookies come under the barrik-gate.

Back to the Army again, sergeant,
Back to the Army again.
'Oo would ha' thought I could carry an' port?
I'm back to the Army again!

I took my bath, an' I wallered -- for, Gawd, I needed it so!
I smelt the smell o' the barricks, I 'eard the bugles go.
I 'eard the feet on the gravel -- the feet o' the men what drill --
An' I sez to my flutterin' 'eart-strings, I sez to 'em, "Peace, be still!"

Back to the Army again, sergeant,
Back to the Army again.
'Oo said I knew when the troopship was due?
I'm back to the Army again!

I carried my slops to the tailor; I sez to 'im, "None o' your lip!
You tight 'em over the shoulders, an' loose 'em over the 'ip,
For the set o' the tunic's 'orrid." An' 'e sez to me, "Strike me dead,
But I thought you was used to the business!" an' so 'e done what I said.

Back to the Army again, sergeant,
Back to the Army again.
Rather too free with my fancies? Wot -- me?
I'm back to the Army again!

Next week I'll 'ave 'em fitted; I'll buy me a swagger-cane;
They'll let me free o' the barricks to walk on the Hoe again,
In the name o' William Parsons, that used to be Edward Clay,
An' -- any pore beggar that wants it can draw my fourpence a day!

Back to the Army again, sergeant,
Back to the Army again.
Out o' the cold an' the rain, sergeant,
Out o' the cold an' the rain.
'Oo's there?

A man that's too good to be lost you,
A man that is 'andled an' made --
A man that will pay what 'e cost you
In learnin' the others their trade -- parade!
You're droppin' the pick o' the Army
Because you don't 'elp 'em remain,
But drives 'em to cheat to get out o' the street
An' back to the Army again!

Twenty Years Ago

It's been a long time since I walked
Through this old town
But oh how the memories start to flow
And there's the old movie house
They finally closed it down
You could find me there every Friday night
Twenty years ago.
I worked the counter at the drugstore down the street
But nobody's left there I would know
On Saturday mornings that's where
All my friends would meet
You'd be surprised to know what a dime would buy
Twenty years ago.
All my memories from those days come gather round me
What I'd give if they could take me back in time
It almost seems like yesterday
Where do the good times go?
Life was so much easier twenty years ago.
I guess I should stop by Mr. Johnson's hardware store
His only son was my friend Joe
But he joined the army back in 1964
How could we know he would never come back
Twenty years ago...

One Reason To Believe

Lighting candles in the church of my choice, loving strangers in the dark
Looking for someone to give me what I lack
Searching for something 'till you showed me the gun in my back
I'm human and I need it, I must have my beliefs
I open myself to the love, yeah
And I love you 'cause you showed me a merciful release
I'm living this time and I know you gave me the reason
Chorus:
One reason (to believe), one reason (you're the one)
One reason (to believe), one reason (my baby)
One reason (it's all I need), one reason (to believe)
One reason (my baby), one reason
Trying to get faith from the eight fifty paperbacks
Hoping they'll show me the way (the way to what?)
Man in a crisis, a young girl in his bed
She's trying to help him when she tells him it's all in his head
I'm human and I need it, I must have my beliefs
I open myself to the love, yeah
I love you 'cause you showed me a merciful release
I'm living this time and I know you gave me the reason
chorus
I bow to the east or I kneel to the west, it's a matter of faith
I'm the only one who has to believe it
chorus
(Solo)
One reason, one reason, one reason, one reason
I bow to the east or I kneel to the west, it's a matter of faith
I'm the only one who has to believe it
One reason (to believe), one reason (you're the one)
One reason (one reason), one reason (my baby)
One reason (that's all I need), one reason (to believe)
One reason (to believe), one reason (just give me one)
One reason (one reason), one reason (to believe)
One reason (it's all I need), one reason (my baby)
One reason (my baby), one reason (my baby)
One reason (you are the reason), one reason
One reason (that's all I want), one reason (that's all I need)...
