Oh, How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning
I've been a soldier quite a while
And I would like to state
The life is simply wonderful
The Army food is great
I sleep with ninety-seven others in a wooden hut
I love them all
They all love me
It's very lovely but
Oh!How I hate to get up in the morning
Oh!How I'd love to remain in bed
For the hardest blow of all
Is to hear the bugler call
Ya gotta get up
Ya gotta get up
Ya gotta get up this morning
Someday I'm going to murder the bugler
Someday they're going to find him dead
I'll amputate his reveille
And step upon it heavily
And spend the rest of my life in bed
[alternate lines in 2nd chorus:]
And then I'll get that other pup
The guy who wakes the bugler up

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

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?

We've Gotta Find a Way Back to Love
We've gotta find a way
We've gotta find a way
We've gotta find a way
We've gotta find a way
(2x)
CHORUS:
We've gotta find a way back to love
We've gotta find a way how to live
We've gotta find a way back to love
We've gotta find a way how to live
There was a time when love watched over us
We've lost the fate somehow and misused the trust
We're bound to lose more than we've bargained for
We need each other now more than before
You gotta stop right now and think about what we're doin'
You gotta stop right now and think about what you're losin'
CHORUS
Why not be honest and face the truth?
We've gotta save what's left of our youth
Each other's feelings

Was he jailed for what he done?

Free john now, if we can
From the clutches of the man
Let him be, lift the lid
Bring him to his wife and kids
They gave him ten for two
What else can the bastards do?

Little More Time With You
Notes:
Jt on sony.com: yer love jones.
Gotta watchdog watching me
Watching me packing my bags
He knows Im leaving town
I can see that its a drag
Why leave the life I love
Here in the great state of maine
Just to ride that shining rail
Just to size that ball and chain
Gotta spend just a little more time with you
Thats why
Gotta spend just a little more time with you
Oh oh oh
Gotta spend just a little more time with you
Yes I do, yes I do
Gotta spend just a little more time with you
Oh oh oh oh oh
I passed on the cocaine
Said bye-bye to my methadone
Put down the bottle for one more day
Backing off of my tobacco jones
Still I feel like a hopeless junkie
Like a man who cant say no
I look back and theres that monkey
Rascal wont let go
Gotta spend just a little more time with you
I get high and I cant come down
I get high just hanging around
I get high, I go lost and found
I get high oh I oh i
Gotta spend just a little more time with you

Gotta Find Me A Better Day
I been gettin lonely, too much these days.
I been gettin lonely, I guess I better get away.
But where can I go thats real? lifes a stage on a ferris wheel.
And the actors are all fighting just to see who gets the lead in the play.
Oh, no, no.
I gotta find me a better day.
Talk about down, I feel so lonely.
Talk about down, Im startin to worry.
Dont really want to be all alone. I cant get along with the chicks at home.
The world just dont seem right, my head is spinnin, and I hate whats goin down.

Bandit
Turnin' the pages in this old book
Seems familiar, it might be worth a second look
Wrapping up dope in a paper bag
Talking to yourself taking a drag
Were you kidding with what you say,
What does it matter you'll never hear it anyway.
Gotta get past the negative things
Lawyers and business, you get what you bring
No one's sorry you did it yourself
It's time to relax now and then give it hell
Someday you'll find what you're looking for
Someday you'll find what you're looking for
You didn't bet on the Dodgers to beat the Giants
And David came up,
Now you gotta pay up
You didn't count on that
Geez, half the money's gone
The month is still young
Where are you gonna go now?
Things are closing in
You gotta trust someone...trust someone
Someone you trust.
Gotta be carefull...carefull
Can't go to your brother,
the money's all gone.
Can't go to your friends
Someday you'll find everything you're looking for
Someday you'll find everything you're looking for
Someday you'll find everything you're looking for
Someday you'll find everything you're looking for, yeah
Made out like a bandit for so many years
What are you working for?
One more big score?
What are you trying to prove?
Try to get closer but not too close
Try to get through but not be through
No one can touch you now
I can touch you
You're invisible, you've got too many secrets
Bob Dylan said that
somebody like that
Someday you'll find everything you're looking for
Someday you'll find everything you're looking for
Someday you'll find everything you're looking for, yeah

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

Whispering
Written by gerry beckley, 1998
Found on human nature.
I hear you in my sleep
Ive fallen in too deep
Sometimes its hard to keep
Secrets, secrets
Its like a breath of air
I feel it everywhere
And still I cant declare
Secrets, secrets
Gotta keep whispering on the phone at night
Gotta keep whispering, gotta get it right
Gotta keep whispering til the morning light
Secrets, secrets
I need you by my side
Cant say I havent tried
Sometimes its hard to hide
Secrets, secrets
Gotta keep whispering on the phone at night
Gotta keep whispering, gotta get it right
Gotta keep whispering til the morning light
Secrets, secrets
Gotta keep whispering on the phone at night
Gotta keep whispering, gotta get it right
Gotta keep whispering til the morning light
Secrets, secrets
Secrets, secrets
Gotta keep whispering on the phone at night
Gotta keep whispering, gotta get it right
Gotta keep whispering til the morning light

Gotta keep whispering on the phone at night

Love Or Nothing
You gotta make up your mind
cause youre running out of time
You know its your game
And the winner takes all
Its time for you to realise
Theres gonna be no compromise
Its gotta be love or nothing at all
Its gotta be love or nothing at all
Ive thought about a new beginning
But you know your hearts not in it
Theres something inside
That aint hearing my call
And each new misty morning
Brings a constant warning
Its gotta be love or nothing at all
Its gotta be love
You give me your love
Or nothing at all
You give me your love
Its no good climbing
In the back seat
In the name of love
Or tryin to be somebody
That you know youre not
Sneakin out the back door
At the dead of night
cause youre never gonna find out
What its really like

Keep On Growing
I was laughing, playing in the streets,
I was unknowing; I didnt know about things.
Then he came along, but never really showed me,
I thought that love could wait.
I was a young girl. I was sure to go astray.
You walked right into my life and told me
Love would find a way, find a way, yeah.
Gotta keep on growing,
Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was standing, looking in the face
Of one who loved me, feeling so ashamed.
Hoping, I pray the lord, that he could understand me,
And I didnt know his name.
He took my hand in his and told me I was wrong.
He said, youre gonna be all right girl,
Oh just as long, just as long...
Gotta keep on growing,
Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Baby, someday maybe, who knows where or when, lord,
Just you wait and see. let me hold you,
Together hand in hand, alone forever;
cause I want just you and me.
This time is gonna change it all, I know its true;
Our love is gonna keep on growing
And growings all we gotta do, all we gotta do, yeah.
Oh, got to keep on growing,
Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gotta keep on growing,
Keep on growing, gotta keep on growing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing,
Staring, looking in the face of the one that loved me.
Gotta keep on growing,
Gotta keep on growing, gotta keep on growing, oh yeah,
I was a young girl,
You said love will find a way,
Love will find a way.
Gotta keep on growing...

You've Gotta Gotta Go
You must know why,
I like our nights of leisure.
The moment you sigh...
I turn the lights,
Down low!
Then you say to me,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Don't you know...
I've come to be with you?
Then you say,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Don't you know...
I want to stay.
I've come such a long way!
You must know why,
My time with you is treasured.
I want you in my life.
For more than just what is pleasured.
But then you say no...
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Don't you know,
I'm here to be with you?
Please don't say,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Let's try to forget,
All regrets we once kept.
Don't say,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Let's start out fresh,
And build on love that's left.
Don't you know,
I've learned a few lessons too!
Don't you know,
I'm here to be with you?

Far Fetched
I wish to see the flag fly high
and never at half mast.
I wish to see the world at peace
and not repeat the past.
I wish to hear the bugler play
his morning reveille
and never hear the sound of taps
from war's sad memory.
I wish to see all fields of battle
come to life again
and filled with penitent faces
that bring hatred to an end.
Wishes are wishes.
Dreams are dreams
and usually come apart
at the seams,
but I still wish anyway.

I Gotta Be
Dont wanna make a scene
I really dont care if
People stare at us
Sometimes I think Im dreamin
I pinch myself
Just to see if Im awake or not

Is it real
What I feel
Could it be
You and me till the end of time
Never part
Take my heart
Hold it tight
Its true love you know I gotta be
[chorus 2]
I gotta be the one you touch
Baby, I gotta be the one you love
(Im telling you that)
I gotta be the one you feel
And I gotta be the one to fill your life with sunshine
I gotta be the one you know
Cuz I will always love you so
(Im loving you, girl)
I gotta be the one you need
Im just telling you that I gotta be
Picture you and me
Starting a life together
We could be
Well take this vow to love one another
Make this thing a reality, oh

Can't stand pat, swear you gotta step it up and go.

Blinds pulled down, what' cha gonna do?
Gotta step it up and go-Yeah, go.
Can't stand pat, swear you gotta step it up and go.

Give a little bit, she took it all.

Why Didnt You Believe

Why didnt you believe in him

You turned your back and played on with your games
If you had listened, you would have discovered
The Bible would have told a different story

Theres so many religions to believe in
If I had been alive at the time,

Gotta Be Love
(john duarte/mark paul)
I wonder what youre doing tonight
I wonder if youre thinking of me
You cant imagine what Im feeling inside
I want to see you but I cant break free
How did I ever let it get this far?
I only wanted you to be my friend
But now its turning into so much more
Its something special, I dont want it to end
I want to be with you
All the time
You know I need you
Lying alone with my heart on the line
I cant get you out of my mind
Its gotta be love
I feel for you
Its gotta be love
Whatll I do?
Its gotta be love
I know you must be out with someone else
I called and let it ring a hundred times
Look in the mirror, I dont see myself
I just see someone I need tonight
Maybe Im crazy to want only you
When theres so many others that I know
Who can be everything and love me, too
But in my heart, they just dont come close
Last night you held me
We stood at my door
And then you kissed me
Now tears break like glass as they fall to the floor
Ive never felt this way before
Its gotta be love
I feel for you
Its gotta be love
What will I do?
Its gotta be love
Im feeling for you
Its gotta be love
Whatll I do
Its gotta be love
Its gotta be love
Its gotta be love
Its gotta be love
Im feeling for you
Its gotta be love
Whatll I do?
Its gotta be love
Im feeling for you
Its gotta be love
Whatll I do?
Its gotta be love (its gotta be love, it has to be you)
Im feeling for you
Its gotta be love (gotta be love)
Whatll I do?
Its gotta be love (its gotta be love the matter with me)
Im feeling inside

Nothing Else From One Through Nine
Its gotta be love...
When she shows it,
He knows it.
Its gotta be love...
When he shows it,
She knows it!
And nothing else from one through nine.
She knew the man was her's and fine.
And he knew how to blow her mind!
They did it when they did it,
And it was most of the time
Its gotta be love...
When she shows it,
He knows it.
Its gotta be love...
When he shows it,
She know it!
And nothing else from one through nine.
She knew the man was her's and fine.
And he knew how to blow her mind!
They spent a lot of butt naked kitchen time.
And spent their lives loving,
Not whining and crying.
Its gotta be love...
When he's tired,
She's there...
Preparing to massage he's back.
He's feet!
Posterior too,
Then lay upon him to sizzle,
Until a kiss...
Or two meets.
Its gotta be love...
Correctly,
He appears...
When he hears her troubles begin.
He's there like a man.
The man he had been and still is.
Standing confident.
As if heaven sent!
Its gotta be love...
When she shows it,
He knows it.
Its gotta be love...
When he shows it,
She know it!
And nothing else from one through nine.
And nothing else from one through nine.
'Cause none like them had a better time.
Its gotta be love...
And nothing else from one through nine.
'Cause none like them had a better time.
Its gotta be love...
And nothing else from one through nine.
'Cause none like them had a better time.
Its gotta be love...
And nothing else from one through nine.
And nothing else from one through nine.
And nothing else from one through nine.
And nothing else from one through nine.
