What you found so upset you
Never saw it coming did you
Its easy to be surprised
With both your eyes sewn closed
Handled with great precision
Another faultless execution
Youre the subject of this exhibition
A willing cadaver, a willing cadaver
Scalped, saturated, made whole again
These cutes are leaving creases
Trace the scars, fit the pieces
Tell youre story, you dont need to say a word
Call off the cavalry
Cant save a wretch like me
Clean this with kerosene
If you cant leave it be, might as well make it bleed
Scalped, saturated, made whole again
Your wires are frayed, cant fire right
You look better when out of sight
You were not made to stand a fight
Theres something better wrong with you
Your wires are frayed, cant fire right
You look better when out of sight
You were not made to fire right
Theres something better wrong with you
Your pulse is anemic, youre tired of the fire
Youre bruising too easily, and falling behind
And no one is waiting for you
And no one is waiting for you
And no one is waiting for you
And no one is waiting
And no one is waiting for you
For you, for you
Call off the quarantine
Cant save the rest for me
Clean this with kerosene
If you cant leave it be, might as well make it bleed
Scalped, saturated, made whole again
Your wires are frayed, cant fire right

If You Can't Leave It Be

Resignation
You cant be right
Youre full of prejudice and spite
You think youve got me pegged but youre wrong
Out of my way
There is a consequence to pay
You think youve got me pegged but youre wrong
I am someone wholl burn the whole world down
Im the one to bring it right around
Youre giving up on me
But what else have you got
Youre losing sight
I wont give up without a fight
You think youve got me pegged but youre wrong
Im not afraid
Ill take the chance I have to take
You think youve got me pegged but youre wrong
You cant expect the world to bend to you
You only feed the fire of anger and our disbelief
I cant be everything to everyone
And I cant be everything you think that I should be

This Is It
There have been times in my life
Ive been wondering why
Still somehow I believed
Wed always survive
Now Im not so sure
Youre waiting to hear
One good reason to try
But what more can I say
Whats left to provide
You think that maybe its over
Only if you want it to be
Are you gonna wait for your sign, your
Miracle
Stand up and fight
This is it
Make no mistake where you are
This is it
Your backs to the corner
This is it
Dont be a fool anymore
This is it
The waiting is over
No room to run
No way to hide
No time for wondering why
Its here
The moment is now
About to decide
Let him believe
Or leave him behind
But keep me near in your heart
And know, whatever you do
Im here by your side
You said that maybe its over
Not if you dont want it to be
For once in your life, heres your miracle
Stand up and fight
This is it
Make no mistake where you are
This is it
Youre going no further
This is it
Until its over and done
No one can tell you what you know
Who makes the choice of how it goes
Its not up to me this time
You know
There comes a day in every life
This is it
Make no mistake where you are
This is it
Youre going no further
This is it
Until its over and done
This is it
One way or another
This is it
No one can tell what the future holds
This is it
Your backs to the corner
This is it
You make the choice of how it goes
This is it
The waiting is over
This is it
No one can tell what the future holds
This is it
Youre going no further

Best Woman Wins
Who do you think you are
What do you think this is
A game you can play
Tryin to steal him away
Well, I dont need a heartache like this
Well, dont think I dont go through hell
But heaven is what we both want
Hes easy to love, but hes hard to give up
And if you think I will, well, youre wrong
Chorus:
The best woman wins
I will fight til the end
Ill lay down and die if I must
Ill beg and Ill plead
I will suffer and bleed
But he must make a choice between us
This soap opera play that were in
Is just like you watch on t.v.
But I never thought that Id ever get caught in it;
Starring you, him and me
In love as in war all is fair
So a fight to the finish begins
When you fight from desire
You fight fire with fire
So may the best woman win
Repeat chorus
So may the best woman win

Everybody Else Is Wrong
At the edge of the world
The sun pouring down
We must be heading home
I completely agree
Ive just been waiting for the right words to come along
Everybody else is wrong
Doesnt everyone concur, oh no
Thank you for the vote of confidence
I feel so much surer now that
Everybody else is wrong
In the prime of ones life
One must be aware
Its such a weary job
But Ive made up my mind
Ive just been waiting for the right choice to come along
Please dont turn out the light
My pen is on fire
The masterpiece revealed
Put your wallets in hand
If youve been waiting for the answer to come along

Still Waiting
All my friends tell me
About the loves theyve had
Cant they see what theyre doing to me?
It makes me feel so bad
cause Im so alone
And brokenhearted
It aint like my life is ended
But more like it never started
The love my friends rap about I keep anticipating
I try so hard but dont you know, my patience is fading away
Still waiting
Im waiting for that love
Still waiting
I wish on every star above
Still waiting
Waiting for the love to come around
Oh, love.
Waiting for the love to come around
People say that Im too young
Too young to fall in love
But they dont know, they really dont know
Thats all that Ive been dreaming of
cause I spend my nights just a-crying
And I spend my days just a-trying
To find that love to call my own
cause Im sick and tired of being alone
Still waiting
Waiting for that love
Still waiting
I wish on every star above
Still waiting
Im waiting for the love to come around.
(waiting for the love) dont you know that Im waiting
(waiting for the love) say..
(waiting for the love) to come around now
I need somebody to hold on to baby
Waiting and waiting, dont you know that im
Still waiting
Im waiting for the love, sugar
Still waiting
If youre out there girl, please come to me
Still waiting
Dont make me cry no more
Still waiting
If youre out there, baby, please come to me
Still waiting
Wishing and wishing for days, baby
Still waiting
If youre out there, girl, please come to me

Youre So Cold
- m. carey - d. cole -
Lord only knows
Why I love you so
Youre a heartless man
I dont understand
Why you gotta be
Why you need to be
So (so, so) cold
Oh oh, he yeah, ,oh yehae
So cold
How can you be
So cold
So cruel to me
Ice cold
Dont even feel
Your kiss is like fire
But deep down inside
Youre so cold
You play games with my mind
Cheat and lie time after time
And I know youll never change
But I just cant break away
I dont know why I let you treat me
The way you do
Youre just no good for me
I wish I never fell for you
So cold
How can you be
So cold
So cruel to me
Ice cold
Dont even feel
Your kiss is like fire
But deep down inside
Youre so cold
So many times
You keep me waiting around endlessly
You just laugh as I drown in despair
Never a worry, never a care
I dont know why I let you hurt me the
Way you do
Youve got a spell on me
Im hopelessly in love with you
So cold
How can you be
So cold
So cruel to me
Ice cold
Dont even feel
Your kiss is like fire
But deep down inside
Youre so cold
Made of stone
Oh youre wicked to the bone
I give you my heart
You tear me apart
Youre like a devil
In disguise
Yeah
Oh so cold
So cold
How can you be
So cold
So cruel to me
Ice cold
Dont even feel
Your kiss is like fire
But deep down inside
Youre so cold

All My Life
Is it the way that you feel when Im kissing on you
Or is it the soul I can see in your eyes
The clothes that you wear or the smell of your hair
Or is it the way I cant sleep when youre not there
All my life, Ive been waiting for you
All my life, Ive been waiting for you
Is it the way that you feel deep inside
Or is it the way that I feel so alive
Your star and your flair are beyond compare
Or is it the way that we feel when were on fire
All my life, Ive been waiting for you
All my life, oh i, Ive been waiting for you
Every night, oh Ive been waiting for you
All my life, Ive been waiting for you

Youre Enough
Youre enough
If I never had another
Never hold another lover
Baby, youre enough
All the rest are second best
Compared to you
Youre enough
If I never know another
After what weve known together
Baby, youre enough
Ive already had my sweetest dreams come true
Cant you see
In these eyes that adore you
Ive been waiting here for you
Baby, cant you see
Look at me
See loves greatest non-believer
Believing that she might be seeing love
In your eyes
Stars above
Made for wishin, made for dreamers
Wont you listen to this heart
And what its dreamin of
If theyll only shine their lucky starlight down on me
Make it bright enough for only you to see

Fight
No matter how long it takes
No mater how long
No matter how long it takes
Well never be alone
Dont wanna make a wrong headline
No matter how strong
Theyll be watching every move you make
Dont let em know they can beat you
Fortune favor the brave
Learn how to use that muscle
Take a little chance will get you
Everything you see
Living at the speed of light
Gotta make your heart beat faster
You gotta climb inside
Set that spirit free
Fight the good fight
Fingers to the bone
Gotta take a stand
And save this land of liberty
Stumble on the ground that shakes you
Push it to the point that breaks you
Little bit of fire it gives you
Soul of a winner
Help you bring them to their knees
In the face of the foe
Never let em drag you under
Dont you wanna leave behind ya
A legacy
Catch another streak of lightning
By the God of fire and thunder
Battle in the name of the nation
Making history
Fight the good fight
Fingers to the bone
Gotta take a stand
And save this land of liberty
And brother when youre down to zero
Everybody needs that hero
Gotta be a star to follow
All the way there
And all the way home

Ecstacy is all you need
Living in the big machine now
Oh, youre so vain
Now your world is way too fast
Nothins real and nothing lasts
And Im aware

Turn your anger into lust
Im still here, but you dont trust at all
And Ill be waiting
Love and sex and loneliness
Take whats yours and leave the rest
So Ill survive
God, its good to be alive

And Im torn in pieces
Im lyin there waiting for
My heart is reeling
Im blind and waiting for you
Silly love with all your sins
Wait and stop and I begin
And Ill - Ill be waitin
Livin like a house on fire
What you fear is your desire
Its hard to deal
I still love the way you feel
Now this angry little girl
Drownin in this petty world
And Im who you run to
Swallow all your bitter pills
Thats what makes you beautiful
Youre all a lie
I wont leave what you aint got

And I cant believe its coming true

Walking down the street, it's everywhere you see
Looking right at you and staring right at me
You can't escape it cause it's in your face
The stars are out, they're bright today

They're just hopin' this ain't just a passing phase
Turn the cycle to a faster spin
Throw the has been's out bring a fresh face in

Show it if you got it. The world is watching you
Take it if you want it. What have you got to lose
Raise your glass you made it
Everyone's waiting for the next big thing,

So now you won the fight, there's no end in sight
Everyone's your friend, might as well take a bite
You've just made it while the others dream
But just make sure the cash register rings
They all know your name, it's such an easy game
If all goes well, you'll have you're minute of fame
Suddenly people want to help you now
Plug it in, make sure you play it loud

Too Bad Youre No Good
Sittin here thinkin bout you and me
Its a cryin shame cause its plain to see
You made me love you so bad
You made me love you so bad
You made me love you so bad
Too bad youre no good
You smile like an angel, lie like a rug
You wouldnt change if you could
cause its in your blood
You made me love you so bad
You made me love you so bad
You made me love you so bad
Too bad youre no good
Midnight knockin, youre droppin around
Trash talkin, and stalkin me down
Better watch out when you play that game
I got a thirty-eight special on a forty-five frame
Call the preacher, call the police
With a man like you, its famine or feast
You made me love you so bad
You made me love you so bad
You made me love you so bad
Too bad youre no good
Well, I talked to your mother
She knows I tried
I talked to your brother
He was on my side
But the hardest thing to comprehend
Is if I had it to do over
Id do it again
Call the preacher, call the police
With a man like you, its famine or feast
You made me love you so bad
You made me love you so bad
You made me love you so bad
Too bad youre no good
You made me love you so bad, bad, bad
Too bad youre no good

Unsuccessfully waiting
Unsuccessfully waiting
~
There is a phone call
Still waiting to be made
A letter left unwritten
On a desk beside a frame
Where a picture waits to be placed
The are feelings existing
Words wanting to be said
Look to find a way to be heard
The is a song waiting on a chorus
With each verse yet to be writ
The ideas are beginnings
Without a first step made
A silence remaining unbroken
No message ever sent
A thought non really know
But a few may suspect
The are some excuses
None stand as an explanation
Why two hearts still wait
On a phone call to be made

Sorry
Into each life there comes a time
When you must pay your lovers dues
Breakin out in a cold sweat
Cause youve been rightfully accused
Im not such a strong man
That love cant make me weak
Youre walkin out the door
And its hurting me so deep, so deep
And Im sorry
Sorry that I made you cry
Sorry, sorry that I told you lies
Im sorry, sorry the way we fuss and fight
Im sorry, sorry cause now youre
Saying goodbye to me
Every young boy will grow up
To then become a man
Then the difference from wrong and right
He clearly understands
Im not such a big man
That I cant break down in tears
Cause my whole body went into shock
When you told me you were out of here! out of here!
And Im sorry
Sorry that I made you cry
Sorry, sorry that I told you lies
Im sorry, sorry the way we fuss and fight
Im sorry, sorry cause now youre saying
Goodbye to me, to me
Im sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
Im sorry baby, that I ever made you cry
Im sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
Im sorry baby, that I ever told you lies
Im sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
Im sorry baby, sorry the way we fuss and fight
Im sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
Im sorry baby, so sorry
If you added up all the good times
And compared them with the bad
Youd realize that our love
Was the best you ever had
Im not such a proud man
That I wont cop a plea
See me baby girl, Im on my knees
Beggin please, baby please, baby please, oh yeah
Im sorry, sorry that I made you cry
Sorry, sorry that I told you lies
Im sorry, Im sorry the way we fuss and fight
Im sorry, sorry cause now youre
Saying goodbye to me, me baby, me baby, me baby
Im sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
Im sorry baby, that I ever told you lies
Im sorry baby, that I ever did it to you
Im sorry baby, that I ever made you cry
Im sorry baby, that I ever did it to you

Love Is Here & You Are Gone
Written & composed: brian holland, lamont dozier and eddie holland
Love is here
And oh my darling, now youre gone
Love is here
And oh my darling, now youre gone
You persuaded me to love you
And I did
But instead of tendeness
I found heartache instead
Into your arms I fell
So unaware of the lonelyness
Thar was waiting there
Spoken :
You closed the door to your heart, girl
And you turned the key
Locked your love away from me
Love is here
And oh my darling, now youre gone
You made me love you
And oh my darling, now youre gone
You said loving you
Would make life beautiful
With each passing day
But as soon as love came
Into my heart
You turned and you walked
Just walked away
Spoken :
You stripped me of my dreams
You gave me faith, then you took my hope
Look at me now
Look at me
See what loving has done to me
Look at my face
See how cryin has left its trace
After you made me all your own
Then you left me all alone
You made your words sound so sweet
Knowing that your love I couldnt keep
Spoken :
My heart cries out for your tuch
But baby, youre not there
And the lonely cry fades in the air
Love is here
And oh my darling, now youre gone
Love is here
And oh my darling, now youre gone
You made me love you
Oh oh my darling, now youre gone
Talking bout love, love, love, love,
Ooh ooh my darling, now youre gone

Say that youre no good
Say your familys cursed with bad blood
But I think youre cute and misunderstood
And I wouldnt change you if I could

Happy and free
Youre the one youre the one

Think youre mean
Uncouth untamed and unrestrained
But I think youre sensitive and sweet
Stay as you are dont change a thing

But I think youre funny and I like your smile
Want to be with you want you to stay awhile
Letem talk you down
Call you names
My minds made up
It aint gonna change

Happy and free
Youre the one youre the one
Youre the one for me
A no count mixed up
Amount to nothing
A day away from a bum on the street
Some low class kind of royalty
Thats what they say about you
When theyre talking to me
Some say youre bad
A bad bad seed
You love to play with fire you love gambling
But I know what you love and I know what you need
And I like it when you play with me
Letem talk you down
Call you names

It aint gonna change
Im sure in my heart

Keep The Fire
Theres a river in
Evening ember glow
And youre wishing you could see
How far it flows
Rolling on to an endless sea
Youd be well on your way
If you could only set sail.
But dreams can drift away
And sails can fill with doubt
Wheres your vision
If the embers flicker out?
Dont let it slip from view
The horizons are waiting
Your river is fading
(chorus)
So keep the fire burning tonight
See just what comes into sight
Dont take forever
Take it through the night
And believe the sun
Will rise with the dawn
Thats all you need to go on
But for tonight
Just keep the fire burning bright
I will never need to ask
What have I done?
Comes a moment when its clear
Theres only one.
Oh, whatever you need of me
Ive made up my mind
Ill give you more than youve asked for
And there are those who can foresee
Where we will go
All the future...
I dont really want to know
Only that youll be here with me.
While the embers still glow
Well be safe till tomorrow.
