Don't Mean To Take It Out On You
i don't mean to yell
i don't mean to scream
sometimes it's just hard
to hold in everything
sometimes you get on my nerves
but how i be treating you sometimes
ain't what you deserve
it's just that i already be having things on my mind
and stuff bottled up inside
and the littlest thing can make those things explode sometimes
and i don't want to
i guess what i'm trying to say is sorry
cause i don't mean to take it out on you

Down
It's hard when
You try to survive
And try to hold on
As we will go down
We will fall down
One day I will go into a new state of mind I guess
Until that day
I'll try to know my name
I try to blink but go numb
So it throws mud in my eye
I gasp for air but there's none
My lungs explode inside
I should know better than to let things get to me
I should know better than to let let them get to me
I should know better than to let let you get to me
I should know better than to let me get to me
It's hard when
You try to survive
And try to hold on
So you will go down
And we will go

People You Knew
Don't keep it bottled up...
All those reasons you can let off steam.
Don't keep it bottled up...
All those things you keep and do not need.
Let me remind you,
Things don't define you.
Leave them behind you...
All those things you should let go.
All those things that bring sorrow.
All those things that could explode,
To bruise...
Those people you once loved but lose!
Don't keep it bottled up...
All those reasons you can let off steam.
Don't keep it bottled up...
All those things you keep and do not need.
Let me remind you,
Things don't define you.
Leave them behind you...
All those things that could explode,
To bruise...
Those people you once loved but lose!
All those things you should let go.
All those things that bring sorrow.
All those things that could explode,
To bruise...
Those people you once loved but lose!
Those people you knew you made fools.

Inside Out
Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out
Now everybody keeps on telling me how to be
And everybody tells me do what they say
Oh Ill help myself its up to me and no-one else
But till Im ready just keep out of my way
Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out
Now everybodys got me running round, up and down
And here I am going out of my mind
But I wont lose sight of all the, the things Im looking for
Theyre coming to me and Im taking whats mine
Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out
Ill play the game
Well make the same mistakes
Its all the same
If we can give and take
Hold on, hold on, ooh
Hold on, hold on, ooh
Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out
All of my life Ive been searching and hanging on
Turning a corner, never know what Id find
But now Im back again like I never went away
Ooh let me in Im through with wasting my time
Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out
Oh inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out

You Keep Your Lips and What's Behind Them Zipped
You keep your lips and what's behind them zipped.
No explanation do you give for this.
But then you expect understanding given for it.
And you're bottled up.
You're bottled up!
You do a tantrum dance and go into your fits.
You spit words of venom with a delivered hiss.
And then you wish somebody to bring to you gifts.
And you're bottled up.
You're bottled up!
What makes you think you are deserving of it?
You're not even using those you've been blessed with.
You curse the Earth and spit on it,
When you should give it a kiss!
And you're bottled up.
You're bottled up!
And you're bottled up...
With a half filled cup.
You keep your lips and what's behind them zipped.
No explanation do you give for this.
With your jaws tight together like a big hypocrite.
And you're bottled up.
You're bottled up!
And you're bottled up...
With a half filled cup.
You're bottled up!
You are bottled up.
With guts sucked in and ready to explode,
On a moment's noticed!

Bottled Up
Mind frenzied?
Feeling under pressure...
Knowing you have had enough.
And those you know,
Have troubles too.
And no one stays in touch.
So they keep it bottled up.
Hoping for a taste of luck.
And pray they do,
Like you do too...
With hopes to not give up.
Yes, they keep this bottled up.
Trying to not slip in a rut.
But there's just so much that one can do,
Before they bust a gut.
I wouldn't keep it bottled up.
Why would you do that and for what?
Just to show how much your mind can take...
To prove that you can fake,
Heartache?
Why keep it bottled up?
To prove to who and what?
That you can be both brave and crazy...
With a mind that's out of touch?
Give those thoughts right up!
Don't let them bust your gut.
Pray for patience,
And see it for what it is!
Too much is just too much!
Why keep it bottled up?
To prove to who and what?
That you can be both brave and crazy...
With a mind that's out of touch?
If that's what 'you' want...
I'm not one to argue about your needs.
What whatever pleases you,
That's 'you'.
Don't push that stuff on me!
I'm not going to hold onto steam...
That wants to blow.
If it wants to go...
I'm glad to let it!
And hopefully,
I'm in a safety zone!

Just The Way Yo Are
Im in love because I know you
And Im sorry I dont show you
And if I find that you aint by me
Im afraid no one will know the things you see
How could you believe in someone sorry sad like me
I know the deal and I thank you anyways
And if you leave you know Im crawlin at your feet
You never get weak when Im leaning hard on you
And I guess thats just the way you are
And I guess thats just the way you are
And I guess thats just the way you are
And I guess thats just the way you are
And all the things that you dont show me
Like when you pretend that you dont know me
I wasted a dime and I cant call you
Ill spend a lifetime if I fall for you
How could you believe in someone sorry sad like me
I know the deal and I thank you anyways
And if you leave you know Im crawlin at your feet
You never get weak when Im leaning hard on you
And I guess thats just the way you are
And I guess thats just the way you are
And I guess thats just the way you are
And I guess thats just the way you are

What about me
My sister gets all the love
And support she needs
She has always been first
In your mind and heart
But what about me
My brother gets anything
He wants even when he
Doesn't deserve it at all
Because he's the baby
But what about me
I'm the one you can
Count on to watch the
Animals or the kid when
You go somewhere
But what about me
I'm the one that is the
Last person to know
What's going on and
The last one you consider
But what about me
What If I want to go
With you when you go
What if I want to do
The same things with you
But what about me
Why don't I get the same
Kind of love and support
That they get, aren't I
Just as important
But what about me
Don't I deserve the same
Consideration as them
Don't I deserve the same
Kind of love and support
But what about me
Am I not your daughter
Don't I deserve the same
As your other daughter
Or your son
But what about me
If I try to tell you how
I feel you get angry and
Upset that I feel this way
Why can't you understand
But what about me
I can't understand why
My feelings make you
Angry and why I am the
One that always gets left behind
But what about me
Why don't you take me
With you or plan things
So that I can go with you
Or be more involved in your life
But what about me
It's like you don't know me
Or even care to know me
So I guess I'll just leave
You three alone
But what about me
Don't call me if you want
Someone to watch the animals
Or the kid until you include me
Because I want to be included
But what about me
I am no longer the watcher
I guess I will make it by myself
Until I feel I am accepted by the
Family I was born into
But what about me
Until then, I stand alone

Father's Son
And no one or nothing can take this away
And Ive bottled up all of this pain
And Ive bundled up all of these things inside
And wonders what if that was my little girl walkin down that road alone
He thinks about that little girl and the one he has at home
Its been a month since her saw her face underneath the blood stained gown
He chokes that bottle down
In the haze of a smoky room
Never again
But I wont let it happen again
And no one or nothing can take this away
And Ive bottled up all of this pain
And Ive bundled up all of these fears inside
And I swear I didnt know
That things like this could happen to a 17-year old
I swear I didnt want to
I just do it cause I can
That I dont this for pleasure
She said theyd never understand
he said they never listened
Im gonna get my moneys worth
Tonight my pretty one
But I want this one to hurt
He said dont try to scream now
And he laid his money down
A man walked in beside her
She laid her body down
In the glare of a neon light (sign)
But I wont let it happen again
Never again
Maybe Im just crazy or the devil got inside
But either way my soul is gone, Ive learned this all night
The one hand throws the whiskey, and the other throws the gun
As he cries out to the heavens
I am not my fathers son
Ive bundled up all of these fears inside
And Ive bottled up all of this pain
And no one or nothing can take this away
I wont let it happen again
Never again
Never again
No
Never again

Sentimental Thing
We always were the kind of people
To take it hard when things would go wrong
Little things would bother me
And little things would make you cry
And after all the confrontations
When it comes time for saying goodbye
All that I can wonder
Is what do I do with these flowers
And what do I do with my evenings
And what do you do with that ring
Im gonna go now
No you cant hold me
Not with such a sentimental thing
So tell me why Im feeling nothing
And tell me how you cant even cry
Little things are logical
But if theres a God above then
Can it be that love was
Just another sentimental thing

Hold Me Back
Driving fast and ditching school, breaking all the precious rules.
Its too hard, to make a living.
I need a kick, I need a girl so badly I could scream.
Im sick of watching people on t.v.
I feel the wind, in my face
I need a car at the start of the race
I need a highway and a beer
If I dont stop now theres plenty to fear
(chorus)
Hold me back, oh wont you hold me back
I can get violent any time
Hold me back, I feel another attack
Brewing deep inside
Hold me back, oh wont you hold me back.
Hold me back, oh wont you hold me back
Hold me back
Teacher doesnt understand,
Just how dangerous I am.
I need a break, from the world
Now more than ever, I need it good
I need something I can taste
And a vacation from the human race
I need money, I need it bad
If I dont have it, I get mad
If I get mad I do such terrible things
I get real crazy and I make girls scream.

Scared As You
You know those things i said
All those things that made you cry
I didn't really mean that stuff
I didn't really mean that stuff
All i ever really mean
When i scream and shout the way i do
Is i don't know i really don't
Just the same as you
Just the same as you
You know those things i said
All those things that made you run away from me
I didn't really mean a word
I didn't really mean i don't believe
All i ever really mean
When i rant and rave the way i do
Is i'm scared again
Just as scared as you
Sometimes it's so hard
To just throw it all away
Sometimes it's so hard
You could just throw it all away
And all those things i said
All those things that made you cry
I didn't really mean that stuff
I didn't really mean to say goodbye
Didn't really mean to say goodbye
You know those things i said
All those things that made you run away from me
I didn't mean a word
I didn't really mean i don't believe
All i ever really mean
When i scream and shout the way i do
Is i'm scared again
Just as scared as you
Sometimes it's so hard
I could just throw it all away
Sometimes it's so hard
I could just throw it all away
Sometimes it's so hard
To just throw it all away
Sometimes it's so hard
To just throw it all away
Just throw it all away

Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wahhh!
'Go bottled that up.
And keep your mouth shut!
Go bottled that up.
And keep your mouth shut!
Go bottled that up.
And keep your mouth shut!
Go bottled that...
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wahhh! '
Oh some people,
With their mouths shut.
Just look through peepholes,
With their mouths shut.
And keep their feelings,
Bottled up!
Some...
People,
With their mouths shut.
Just look through peepholes,
With their mouths shut.
And keep their feelings,
Bottled up!
While others love to stir up stuff.
And then there's people...
Who love to fuss.
And then there's people...
Who love to anger.
And...
Love they do to fist-i-cuff.
And love they do to rush cuss.
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wahhh!
Ohhhh...
Some people,
With their mouths shut.
Just look through peepholes,
With their mouths shut.
And keep their feelings,
Bottled up!
While others love to stir up stuff.
But not you,
You want to be heard...
Like a soloist with nerve.
Wah-wah-wah.
You want to be heard...

Wah-wah-wah.
You want to be heard...

Whining up like a guitar solo scream.
Wah-wah-wah.
Just whining up like a soloist on the scene.
Wah-wah-wah.
Whining up like a guitar solo scream.
Wah-wah-wah.
And doing it just to be heard and to be seen.

Jenny Jenny
Every time I think of you
Yeah, even this much later
I wish there was something I could do
But I guess youre still the same
You do almost anything but stop the fight
Never surrender, you just tough it out all night
And I think of the little things we used to do
And I think of the way that hes been treating you
And Ill ask you once again
Jenny jenny, what happened to you?
How can you stand for what you put yourself through?
And I think of the little things we used to do
And I think of the way that hes been treating you
And Ill ask you once again
Jenny jenny, what happened to you?
With your picture in my hand
I dont even know what Im feeling
Ill stop trying to understand
I just wish I could reach out to you
Reach out so far across the sea
And sometimes as the baby sleeps I know you think of me
And you think of the little things we used to do
And you cant understand the way hes treating you
So Ill ask you once again
Jenny jenny, what happened to you?
How can you stand for what you put yourself through?
When I think of the way we always used to be
And you know that hell never love you more than me
So Ill ask you once again
Jenny jenny, what happened to you?

Explode
Someday I'm gonna explode from all these bottled up feelings
So i suggest that you to get out of here before you
You find youself dead
One, Two, Three, get out she's gonna explode
One, Two, Three, get out she's gonna fucking blow
Too late your dead
I guess people don't listen
I need to find someone that will
I need to get out some frustration
Before i explode
Once again it happened
It happened once again
People should have listened
People are just fucked in the head
They can't get the simplest shit through their fucking skulls
That's i'm going to explode

Got Up to New Stuff
Today is 'my' day!
And,
I'm going to have it my way,
Today.
Getting rid of those 'come what mays'
Laying around to delay.
But not today.
This day is mine.
To do and find ways to please,
Me.
No matter who believes,
I should not live this selfishly!
Today is 'my' day!
I got up to find my mind had had enough.
I awakened to find a filled cup.
And what had spilled over,
I didn't miss a beat...
When I bottled the rest of my gratefulness up.
Today,
I got up to new stuff.
Today,
My mind had had enough,
Of the old ways of doing things.
And recognized my cup spilleth over.
With a rushing done to bottled the rest of it up.
To ensure tomorrow,
There was some left to sip as I chose.

We can still be us
My mind is racing,
I can't make it stop.
Somethings gotta give
or my hearts going to pop.
I see things
my heart can't handle,
My mind says things to me
look at this, what about that
and when my eyes wet with tears
it asks me bluntly
what it is I fear
I can only answer
Loss of heart
loss of mind
loss of everything I hold inside
so dear
Should it have to be this way
I dont think it does
If we try hard enough
WE can still be US

How Y' Livin'
I should have seen the signs you showed me
So many times, in so many ways
On a never ending journey though the cold light of day
Cold light of day
I spent nearly all my time
Thinking I know you but I still got my doubts
Little things to try to work you out
Playing on my mind
Will you leave her now
Like you left me then
Just forgot and leave me
With just enough to start again
Start a brand new life
Maybe have some kids
Never facing facts and never looking back
How y' livin',
Are y' living your life
How y' livin'
Are you treating her right
How y' livin'
Are y' living your life
How y' livin'
Are you treating her,
Treating her right
I don't see you anymore
Heard you're married
But you never know
You've never married enough to not want to let them go
You never fight enough to not want to fight no more
Just keep moving on,
Find another girl
Go out and party and make sure that she rocks your world
How y' livin'
Are you living your life
How y' livin'
Are you treating her right
How y' livin'
Are you living your life
How y' livin"
Are you treating her,
Treating her right
How y' livin baby,
Have you done what's right
How y' livin baby,
Are you treating her right
How y' livin' baby
Have you done what's right
How y' livin' baby,
Are you treating her,
Treating her right
RAP: Haven't seen you for a while
Can I come over baby
Damm you're looking good,
What's happened to you lately
I've been cruising round, checking out the scene
Fancy seeing you, are you still feeling angry
Time to move on, make a little wish
I know I treated you bad
But I've grown up since
I want to make a change
Get it right with you
I'm begging on my knees
Have I moved a little too soon?
Have you got a man, does he treat you good
Do you feel the same now, are you still turned on?
A blast from the past, take a load off
You and me got a past that don't stop and won't stop
Pack your bags up, take a ride with me
In my black jeep we're going to get busy
I'm living right, without you is wrong
The sun don't shine if you're walking alone.
How y' livin'
Are you living your life
How y' livin'
Are you treating her right
How y' livin'
Are you living your life
How y' livin'
Are you treating her,
Treating her right
How y' livin' baby
Have you done what's right
How y' livin baby
Are you treating her right
How y' livin' baby
Have you done what's right
How y' livin baby,
Are you treating her right,
How y' livin'
Are you living your life
How y' livin'
Are you treating, treating her right
How y' livin'
Are you living your life
How y' livin'
Are you treating her,
Treating her right.

Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied

I worked so hard, I thought you knew,

Jewelry
I know that Im a diamond
But you dont gotta treat me like one
I know I shine like platinum
And Im about as real as they come
And I dont like the way youre doing me
You wear me then you put me away
Cant come out until you want me
And I cant let you keep it this way
I dont like the way that you be shining me
You be treating me like jewelry
Then you turn around and you stash me
You be treating me like jewelry
I dont like the way that you be shining me
You be treating me like jewelry
Then you turn around and you stash me
You be treating me like jewelry
This has become a problem
You watch me like youre security
You place me under lock and key
Like someones gonna run away with me
You keep the same old stories
You say that youre protecting me
But you only worry how long before you lose me
I dont like the way that you be shining me
You be treating me like jewelry
Then you turn around and you stash me
You be treating me like jewelry
I dont like the way that you be shining me
You be treating me like jewelry
Then you turn around and you stash me
You be treating me like jewelry
You make me feel like Im your jewelry
Im not your jewelry, dont put me on display
You make me feel like Im your property
Why dont you show me some respect
So now make your decision
Do you think that you could untie my hands
You know that youd be stressing
If you were no longer my man
And theres no combination
I can leave you anytime that I choose
So if you dont believe me
I guess you will just look like a fool
I dont like the way that you be shining me
You be treating me like jewelry
Then you turn around and you stash me
You be treating me like jewelry
I dont like the way that you be shining me
You be treating me like jewelry
Then you turn around and you stash me
You be treating me like jewelry
You make me feel like Im your jewelry
You make me feel like Im your jewelry

If I Were Your Girl
Brokenhearted
Unsatisfied
I cant help it I cant get you off my mind
She was so wrong
To treat you bad
She didnt know you were the best shed ever had
If I were yours
And you were mine
Id make sure that I could please you all the time
Chorus:
Id be here waiting
Id treat you right
If I were your girl
Id keep up all night
Appreciate you
And so much more
That I would give you
If I were your girl
So frustrated
What do I do
I get excited when Im standing next to you
Does she love you
Is she unkind
I dont know why youre there something isnt right
All the wonders
Of the world
Are the things that I would give if I were her
Chorus
I never felt this way inside
Its so hard, so very hard to hide
Cause I can see
That you dont receive
The things you deserve
Id give you so much more
If I were your girl
Chorus to fade
