Be Yourself
Well, I am what I am
what I am could be who you are
Is, your pain when you smile
cos you've built a wall around your heart
Do the thoughts in your head keep you up
cause you feel alone
And are you strong enough to be yourself
Papa used to say you're just a loser
and you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
ain't gonna get you nowhere
You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself
If you cried would you hide
would you want all the world to know
And if you believed in love
would you let it show
are you in
are you hip
Are you cool
Do you try too hard
or are you strong enough to be yourself
Papa used to say you're just a loser
and you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
ain't gonna get you nowhere
Papa used to say you're just a loser
and you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
ain't gonna get you nowhere
You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself
If you can't, can't be yourself
what are you living for
If you can't, can't be yourself
you're gonna lose it all
If you can't, can't be yourself
what are you living for
You're gonna find someday
you're gotta run away
you gotta run, run, run away
Papa used to say you're just a loser
and you're never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
ain't gonna get you nowhere
You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself

Why U Gotta Be So Mean?
You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that you use
against me
You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a
chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
You picking on the weaker man
You can take me down with just one single
blow
But you don't know, what you don't know...
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit
me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
You have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Trying to block you out 'cause I'll never
impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
'Cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know, what you don't
know...
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit
me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
But nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old
bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't
sing
But all you are is mean
All you are is mean
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and
mean
But someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit
me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so? ..
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city (Why
you gotta be so? ..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean (Why
you gotta be so? ..)
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit
me (Why you gotta be so? ..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

Im Gonna Win
Another dark night, in the city
And my prospects lookin thin
The survival, of the fittest
Is the law, in the world that I live in
I was not born, to be a fighter
But nows the time I have to learn
To keep my head, above the water
Gotta play with fire, but not get burned
I gotta stand up, I gotta face it
Dont want to lose it
I want to taste it while its hot
Dont want to waste it, I need it so bad
Im gonna win, yeah
Im gonna win
You see its a matter of pride
Deep down inside
Im gonna win, yeah
Im gonna win
I got no time, to sit and wonder
I got myself, to reckon with
Yeah and life wont drag me under
Even if it takes, all I have to give
Ill give it all
I gotta stand up, I gotta face it
Dont want to lose it
Ooh I want to taste it while its hot
Dont want to waste it, my minds made up
Im gonna win
Im gonna win
I tell you, see when it comes down to the crunch
Ive gotta beat life to the punch
Im gonna win
Somehow I know Im gonna win
You know
Ive got to fight to stay alive
Kick it in to overdrive
Im gonna win, ooh, ooh, ooh
Im gonna win
Im gonna win
Im gonna win
You see its a matter of pride
Deep down inside
Im gonna win
Gonna win, gonna win
Ooh, Ill pay the price
Gonna win
No more mr. nice
Gonna win
Hey, just watch me roll the dice
Im gonna win, win, win
Im gonna win, win, gonna win
Im gonna win
I know Im gonna win

Gotta Get Used To You
(jean-alain roussel)
Who dyou think youre kidding?
You walk out on my life
Now, youre back again
And you think that nothings changed
Denying superstitions, defying traditions
It seems like weve been through this before
Now, its gonna be like starting all over again
Oh, baby, dont you know?
Its gonna be like starting all over again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
You know I love to feel you
Reach the depth of my heart
Deep inside of me
The way it used to do
Ive had so many lovers
No-one could ever tame me
They all seem to rub me the wrong way
They always get my back up
No-one seems to do the things that you do for me
And now that youre back in my life again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again

Gotta Get Away
Im on my way, got no time to waste
Places to go, people to chase
Gonna grab my comb n my toothpaste
Gotta get away from here
Twenty-one years from the day I was born
I was workin on the night shift tootin my horn
Through sheets of rain, through sleet and storm
You come to me
You were the girls with the summer sunshine
In your eyes and in your smile
You were the one I thought I thought loved me
It was somethin I never could quite believe
Gotta get away from here
Im a real bad loser thats what I am
Gonna grab my hat and my hexagram
You can stick my money in an old tin can
I think I fell in love again
I was down by the bus stop bidin my time
I was hitchin a ride with a friend of mine
Iwas almost gone, I was over the line
I said whats come over me
You were the girl with the sound of springtime
In your songs and in your voice
You were the one I thought loved me
It was somethin I never could quite believe
Gotta get away from here
Gotta get back to you
Im gonna make it today, Im gonna get on my toes
Been awake so long Im getting ready to doze
Gonna grab my bag and a few old clothes
Gotta get away from here
Gotta get back to you
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Gotta get away

Shes Gonna Get It
(toby keith/wayne perry)
Its not because shes always satisfied
Or that shes so easy to please
She showed me what loves about
Thats for sure and I dont mean maybe
Absolutely, theres no doubt, boys
Nothin too good for my baby
Shes gotta have it, shes gonna get it
Thats what she wants, thats what Im gonna do
No matter what it takes, the skys the limit
Shes gotta have it, shes gonna get it
She dont ask for much of anything
But when she does, I give my all
All it takes is one sweet touch
And I go where her loves takes me
I cant seem to get enough
Man, when it comes to my baby
Shes gotta have it, shes gonna get it
Thats what she wants, thats what Im gonna do
No matter what it takes, the skys the limit
Shes gotta have it, shes gonna get it
She showed me what loves about
Thats for sure and I dont mean maybe
Absolutely, theres no doubt, boys
Nothins too good for my baby
Shes gotta have it, shes gonna get it
Thats what she wants, thats what Im gonna do
No matter what it takes, the skys the limit

Gotta Stop
{b-side of let's work}
Sittin' outside your door, about to break down
Fourth time this week somebody's come around
Who's it gonna be tonight, who's the lucky man
Where you get the attitude, i'll never understand
Uh oh, here he comes now, so happy that he came
Hey! was it good boy? [thoughts on, of her aim]
What goes on inside your head that makes you want to take them all to bed?
Gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
U know u gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
When i call u on the phone, you act so unconcerned
(i wanna) i wanna get you all alone (ooh baby) to show u what i've learned
Why u won't give me the time of day, u won't give me some time,
U won't give me anything, god u think u're too fine
Can't u see? all i want is a little time,
I've been playing with my toy so much i'm gonna go blind.
Gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
U gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about

Get It (feat. Michael Jackson)
Miss Lady Girl
Is putting her love on the shelf
Cause she don't want
To be hurt by nobody else
She's taken her heart
And put it away under lock and key
But its high time
Miss Lady Girl sets her heart free and gives her love to me
Some think that diamond rings; fancy cars
Will make a big impression
But I know that all she needs is my tender
Love and affection
Cause she still says
That no one's gonna get it
No one's gonna get it, oh no
But someone's gotta get it
And I feel that I will be the one who will
No one's gonna get it
No one's gonna get it, oh no
But someone's gotta get it
And I know that I will be the one who will
Gonna get it, her love
Gonna get it, her kisses
Gonna get it, her heart
Gonna get it, get it
Miss Lady Girl
Has buried her feelings deep inside
Cause she don't want
To be taken for another ride
She's sick and tired
Of being on that lonely merry-go-round
She just don't know
That the ultimate love of her life is about to be found
They think that ready cash, flashy clothes
Will her life with laughter
But I've got the very thing that she needs
True love forever after
Then no more will she say
That no one's gonna get it
No one's gonna get it, oh no
But someone's gotta get it
And I feel that I will be the one who will
No one's gonna get it
No one's gonna get it, oh no
But someone's gotta get it
And I know that I will be the one who will
Gonna get it, her love
Gonna get it, her kisses
Gonna get it, her heart
Gonna get it, get it

Mama, Why You Put Your Cleats On?
Mama,
Why you put your cleats on?
'Gotta keep in the run, son.
This turf is getting harder than concrete.
Gotta keep a strong pace going...
Ahead of those asleep on the streets.
I'm gonna make sure we eat.
And have a place safe enough to sleep.
That's why your mama tieing up her shoes,
With the cleats!
But mama...
Why you putting that mask on your face?
'Chile...
I gotta do what mamas do,
With a constant smile,
That protects my grace.
If I did not wear a mask...
Those in my way may detect a frown.
I've worn that for too long,
For them to trace now,
My child! '
But mama...?
Explain the shoulder pads.
I don't understand that at all.
'I'm going into those heated fields...
With those accustomed to playing hardball.
They are accustomed to leave others,
In pain, sorrow and abuse.
Mama ain't gonna put up with that.
Or use that to do nothing...
To sit home with you,
Teaching it's okay to be afraid with excuses.
And I'm certainly not the one,
Who is going to be left wounded and bruised.
Mama's gonna be the one,
Right up in the meanest face.
To leave them boo hooing too!
Now give me that bat! '
But mama...
Ain't you dressed for football?
'Chile...
When you get older,
And hopefully you will.
You're gonna learn how to dress,
For any game to be played.
Now...
Hand me that helmet.
And get out of mama's way! '
Yes, ma'am!

Dont wanna be a loser - gonna win
Cuz winnin really is the only thing
Get out of the way were comin in
If ya wanna fight just step inside the ring
Does anybody wanna take a swing?
Its gotta be all or nothing
Oh were gonna be the champions

Forget about a draw - were gonna score
And then were gonna get a few more
Maybe another one just to be sure
Well make ya look just like an amateur
Until the final whistle its a war
And then were gonna pick ya off the floor

Summertime Blues
Im gonna raise a fuss
Im gonna raise a holler
About workin all summer
Just-a trying to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby
And ask her to date
My boss says uh duh son you gotta work late
Sometimes I wonder
What im-a gonna do
But there aint no cure
For the summertime blues
Well my mama papa told me
Son, you gotta make some money
If you wanna use the car
To go ridin next sunday
Well, I didnt go to work
So my pa said I was sick
You cant use the car
cuz you didnt work a lick
Sometimes I wonder what lm-a gonna do
But there aint no cure for the summertime blues
Im going to take your wish
Gonna have a fine vacation
Lm gonna take my problem
Through the united nations
Well I called my congressman
And he said to woe
Ld like to help you son
But youre too young to vote
Sometimes I wonder what lm-a gonna do
But there aint no cure

You Can't Take Me
Got to fight another fight - I gotta run another night
Get it out - check it out
I'm on my way and I don't feel right
I gotta get me back - I can't be beat and that's a fact
It's OK - I'll find a way
You ain't gonna take me down no way
Don't judge a thing until you know what's inside it
Dont' push me - I'll fight it
Never gonna give in - never gonna give it up no
If you can't catch a wave then your'e never gonna ride
You can't come uninvited
Never gonna give in - never gonna give up no
You can't take me I'm free
Why did it all go wrong? - I wanna know what's going on
And what's this holding me?

Ya gotta know when to run
Ya Gotta know when to run
When a redneck says… “watch this”
Ya just gotta get out of his truck
“Watch this, ” means he thinks it can fly
Or he thinks it can float like a duck
“there ain’t no monster under your bed”
That’s what your mama solemnly states
Run outta the room son, before it’s too late
Cause the monster’s gonna eatcha! You ‘re gonna be dead!
Ya gotta learn when to hold em’
Ya gotta learn when you’re done
Gotta learn when to fold em’
Son, you gotta learn when to run
When your good ol’ buddy boozily states
“don’t worry none, it ain’t loaded! ol‘ son”
Unless you’re dyin’ to stroll thru those pearly gates
You really gotta know when to pick em’ up and run
When bubba states “Shoot! It’s only 220 volts”
And standin in water ain’t gonna hurt us none
The feelin’s akin to getting run over by the Baltimore Colts
And it helps a whole lot…to know when to cut and run

Do What You Gotta Do
Sometimes youve got to take the heat
If youre gonna walk down the mean street
Take the heat and you see it through
cause sometimes it comes down to
Do what you gotta do
Sometimes it goes right down to the wire
And you might have to walk through the fire
Walk on, boy all the way through
Sometimes it just comes down to
Do what you gotta do
Well, theres people thatll tell you
Its just no use
And theres people thatll tell you
That youre gonna lose
People thatll tell you
Anything youre gonna listen to
Do what you gotta do
Someday theyre going to call your name
Theyll come looking for some one to blame
Whats your name, boy
Hey, you just tell them true
cause they cant take the truth from you
So do what you gotta do
Well, theyll call you a hero or a traitor
But youll find out that, sooner or later,
Nobody in this world is gonna do it for you
Do what you gotta do
There aint nobody in this world
Thats gonna do it for you
Do what you gotta do

Its no sin
Its that time again
To shed your load
Hit the road
On the run again
Summer skies
In our eyes
And a warmer sun
Its one for all
All for one
All for all out fun
Gotta go to it
Gonna go through it
Gotta get with it
Lookin good
Down the hood
Of a funky ride
On the way
To the tide
Just to tan your hide
In the shade
Lemonade
In the sun ocean spray
To get your face
In the race
Or lay backs no disgrace
Gotta go to it
Gonna go through it
Gotta get with it
Its ok to get out there and
Have some fun
By yourself maybe
Or else with a special one.
Good or bad
Glad or sad
Its all gonna pass
So its ok
Lets all play
And enjoy it while it lasts
Gotta go to it
Gonna go through it
Gotta get with it

Someday
(branson/mindel)
Theres only one way to go when youre up too high
Youve gotta come down; youve gotta come down
And theres only one way of saying the word goodbye
Youve gotta come down; youve gotta come down
Youve gotta be sure youre not throwing your life away
You know I can say youll regret it someday
But someday, many tears and far away
Theres gonna be something thats gonna make you want to stay
And if someday you should wake and want me near
Ill still be here
Theres only one thing to do when you reach the end
Youve gotta let go; youve gotta let go
And theres only one scene when its all pretend
Youve gotta let go; youve gotta let go
Youve gotta be sure youre not throwing your life away
You know I can say youll regret it someday
And you know that someday, when theres no one sleeping on your mind
Youre gonna wake up and see tomorrow isnt hard to find
And if years dont heal the memories you feel
Ill still be here
Someday
And if someday you should wake and want me near
Ill still be here
Someday
