This Womans Work
Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this womans work,
This womans world.
Ooh, its hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I should be crying, but I just cant let it show.
I should be hoping, but I cant stop thinking
Of all the things I shouldve said,
That I never said.
All the things we shouldve done,
That we never did.
All the things I shouldve given,
But I didnt.
Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away.
Give me these moments back.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand.
(I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.)
I should be crying, but I just cant let it show.
I should be hoping, but I cant stop thinking
Of all the things we shouldve said,
That were never said.
All the things we shouldve done,
That we never did.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I shouldve given,
But I didnt.
Oh, darling, make it go away.
Just make it go away now.

You Shouldve Told Me
I wouldnt call in the midnight hour
I wouldnt tuck you in and turn the nightlight out
You would walk through the door and I wouldnt say hi
I would walk out the door and wouldnt say bye-bye
Its funny that I never thought about it that way
I never knew the things that I did not say
But you were lonely and you were hungry
And I was living in my own world
Thinking Im a perfect lady
You shouldve told me
I wasnt small enough
You shouldve told me
I didnt call enough
But you led me on
And kept me going
And we never shouldve wasted this time
You shouldve told me
I wasnt wild enough
You shouldve told me
I didnt smile enough
What you had in my mind
Made me lose my mind
And we never shouldve wasted this time
I was in bed Id help you take your clothes off
When it was time for work didnt see you off
When your tense didnt give a massage
I never told you I think youre hot
Its funny I never thought about it that way
Never knew the things I did not say
But you were lonely and you were hungry
And I was living in my own world
Thinking Im a perfect lady
You shouldve told me
I wasnt small enough
You shouldve told me
I didnt call enough
But you led me on
And kept me going
And we never shouldve wasted this time
You shouldve told me
I wasnt wild enough
You shouldve told me
I didnt smile enough
What you had in my mind
Made me lose my mind
And we never shouldve wasted this time
When you thought you had to lie
Why didnt you come and tell me why?
Didnt you see those tears I cried?
Oh why?
You shouldve told me
I wasnt small enough
You shouldve told me
I didnt call enough
But you led me on
And kept me going
And we never shouldve wasted this time
You shouldve told me
I wasnt wild enough
You shouldve told me
I didnt smile enough
What you had in my mind
Made me lose my mind
And we never shouldve wasted this time

Cupids Trick
Shes shaking down
Im absent and numb from shock
Reaching around for the hands of the clock
Shouldve lied
Lit me up, its my lie
Shouldve lit me up, its my lie
Shouldve lit me up, its my lie
Shouldve lit me up
Cupids trick comes
Down to shake and deal
The stupid kick that makes me real
Shouldve lied
Lit me up, its my lie
Shouldve lit me up, its my lie
Shouldve lit me up, its my lie
Shouldve lit me up
Shes shaking down
Its never over and done.
So, kick me, cane me
Then Ill know
Why
Lit me up, its my lie
Shouldve lit me up, its my lie
Shouldve lit me up, its my lie

Shouldve Never
Music: samuel barnes, jean claude olivier, cory rooney, tonino bailardo, nicolas reyes
Lyrics: cory rooney, jennifer lopez
Ive been so caught up in the thought of me and you
Even though I love someone else
I know my heart belongs to you
Tell me how did we ever let the situation get this far
Maybe we should just try to hide the things we feel inside
Things I know we cant deny
Chorus:
Shouldve never told you that I cared about you
Didnt think that it would be, so bad
Shouldve never kissed you
Shouldve never held your hand
Got to find a way to let these feelings go
What did I do the day I let you slip into my soul
It was then, when I realized that I would always want you in my life
No one else can know of the things that weve been saying on the telephone
It would be so bad
If they ever knew that me and you were secretly into each other
Chorus
Bridge:
Im so scared, trembling inside
cause Im feeling like somebody else already knows
Oh my god, I love you both so much
And to have to choose between the two is hurting me so deep inside
Chorus:
Shouldve never told you that I cared about you
Never thought that it would be, so bad, hum
Shouldve never kissed you
Shouldve never held your hand
I dont ever want to feel this way again

Tv Show
Too much anger trapped inside
Its so hard to let it go
Hope is fading
Im tired of waiting
And Im moving much too slow
The stars above Im cursing
And it still seems Im rehearsing
But the cameras have been
Rolling all the while
This storys getting boring
And the spectators are snoring
I suggest you turn the dial
Life is a tv show
Shouldve been canceled long ago
Life is a tv show
Shouldve been canceled long ago
Life is a tv show
Life is a tv show
Life is a tv show
Shouldve been canceled long ago
I saw a headline in the paper
Of another ticker taper
For a war which has barely just begun
Well be waving our flag silly
As were chopped into piccalilli
And thats not my idea of fun
Life is a tv show
Shouldve been canceled long ago
Life is a tv show
Shouldve been canceled long ago
Life is a tv show
Life is a tv show
Life is a tv show
Shouldve been canceled long ago

Shouldve Kept Your Distance
Somethings gone wrong
now i know whats going on
theres a place i need to be
theres some1 i need to see
theres suspicion in the air
theres some things that should be cleared
if im there....there will be hell
and i may end up in jail
but its for a serious cause
dont give a futz about the law
If they dont keep their distance
ill make sure theyre gone
before they use their senses
shouldve listened to my warning
shouldve never came back
couldve walked away....
but they didnt.....they chose to stay......
i wont need reinforcements
im not there....i guess i do
there wont be conversations
when i get there theyll be through
they couldve thought this out
but instead they just refused
and when theyre taken out
ill just be here.....amused
If they dont keep their distance
ill make sure theyre gone
before they use their senses
shouldve listened to my warning
shouldve never came back
couldve walked away....
but they didnt.....they chose to stay

Shouldve Been Me
(mark paul)
There she goes with a smile on her face
Riding right next to you
Goin out to all those places
You used to take me to
Wearin your jacket like it was her own
I used to wear it so well
Why on earth did I let you go
If I hadnt Id be with you still
Call it jealousy, call me a fool
But its more than my eyes wanna see
cause it shouldve been me
With you tonight
It shouldve been me
There by your side
Seein you both is hard to believe
cause it shouldve been me
Flashin that ring in everyones face
The one I gave back last week
I wonder if youre tellin her things
You used to whisper to me
To say its over dont work anymore
cause its more than my heart wants to feel
It shouldve been me
With you tonight
It shouldve been me
There by your side
Seein you both is hard to believe
cause it shouldve been me
She looks so satisfied
So close to you that i
Cant help but wonder why
I said goodbye last night
As tears drop from my eyes

What A Day
A piece of mail
A letter head
A piece of hair
From a human head
Theyre sayin to me
I shouldve killed it
I shouldve killed it
I shouldve killed it before
Youre right, youre right
Kill the body and the head will die
Theyre laughin at me
I shouldve learned it
I shouldve learned it
I shouldve learned it before
-what a day, what a day
If you can look it in the face
And hold your vomit
A wet sneeze and a no left turn
A row of teeth and an encouraging word
Beneath a mile of skin
I shouldve noticed it
I shouldve noticed it
I shouldve noticed it before
What a day
What a day
What a day
Dont you touch it

Shouldve Been The One
My baby, shouldve been the one
Last night I was so scared I couldnt close my eyes
You still live in me
Some how I made it through the night
Rescued by the break of day, once again
I know someones in your heart, its pulling me apart
But I guess Im the one to blame (its so hard)
And its so hard (so hard) holding back the tears now youve
Dissapeared
How I long to hold you near
Chorus:
Oh I shouldve been the one whos with you now
Shouldve been the one thats feeling proud
I failed you now
Oh I shouldve read the signs in your eyes
Shouldve had the sense to realise
Ive lost you now
I see you, laughing out loud standing in the crowd
The same crowd I used to know
But its too late now to change anything
Ive lost everything
Gotta learn to let you go
Chorus
I shouldve been the light in your eyes (shouldve been the light)
Shouldve been the fire in your smile (shouldve been the fire)
I shouldve been your spirit and your guide
I wonder do you think of me? (do you think of me? )
Maybe you shed a tear for me (shed a tear for me)
I realise I paid the price but nothings gonna change the way I fell
For
You
Oh I shouldve been the one whos with you now
Shouldve been the one whos feeling proud
Girl Ive failed you now
Shouldve read the signs in your eyes
Shouldve had the sense to realise
Ive lost you now
I know I let you down, baby had to fool around
Oh I shouldve been the one whos with you now
Shouldve been the one whos feeling proud
I failed you now
I shouldve read the signs, baby shouldve realised
Oh I shouldve read the signs in your eyes
Shouldve had the sense to realise
Ive lost you now
I know I let you down, baby had to fool around.

What I Meant To Say
(what I meant to say)
Last night I told a lie
When I told you I could say goodbye
Here in the light of day
What a crazy thing for me to say
What I meant to say was I love you
Whats been killin me is I hurt you
What I didnt do was hold you when I saw the teardrops fall
What I shouldve said was Im sorry
What I shouldve said was forgive me
What I meant to say was what I didnt say at all
Last night I had a dream
You were really walking out on me
I woke up scared to death
Please forget about the things I said
What I meant to say was I love you
Whats been killin me is I hurt you
What I didnt do was hold you when I saw the teardrops fall
What I shouldve said was Im sorry
What I shouldve said was forgive me
What I meant to say was what I didnt say at all
What I meant to say was what I didnt say at all

I Shouldve Known Better
Its been a long time comin and the card were stacked.
Its been a long hard road to hell and back.
Your love meant trouble from the day we met.
You won every hand, I lost every bet.
Now youd think that I shouldve known better.
Now I think that I shouldve seen it come.
My heart sank when I read that letter.
It sank like a stone, it sank like a stone.
A cup of cold coffee, yesterdays mail.
A bad love like this is always bound to fail.
Your love meant trouble from the day we met.
If you want your things, theyre on the front step.
Now youd think that I shouldve known better.
Now I think that I shouldve seen it come.
My heart sank when I read that letter.
It sank like a stone, it sank like a stone.
All alone in my kitchen.
All alone in my head.
Somethings you cant take back, once theyve been said.
I dont know what this love is for.
All I know is I dont want it anymore.
Now youd think that I shouldve known better.
Now I think that I shouldve seen it come.
My heart sank when I read that letter.
It sank like a stone, it sank like a stone.

Was It Something I Didnt Say
Spending another night alone,
Wondering when will I ever see you again.
Thinking what I would give
To get you back baby.
I should have told you how I felt then
Instead I kept it to myself.
I let my love go unexpressed,
till it was too late,
You walked away.
Chorus:
Was it something I didnt say,
When I didnt say I love you.
Was it words that you never heard,
All those words I should have told you.
All those times,
All those nights,
When I had the chance to.
Was it something I didnt say,
Was it something I didnt say.
Always assumed that youd be there,
Couldnt foresee the day youd ever be leaving me.
How could I let my world
Slip through my hands baby.
I took for granted that you knew,
Oh love, the love I had for you.
I guess, you never had a clue,
till it was too late,
You walked away.
Chorus
All the words were in my heart,
Well, they went unspoken.
But baby now my silent heart,
It is a heart thats broken.
I shouldve said so many things,
I shouldve let you know,
Youre the one I needed near me,
But I never let you hear me.

I Should Have Listened To Me
(tim hunt/steve bogard/rick giles)
(track 4 - time 3:30)
When you told me you needed a little time on your own
I kinda lied and said Id be alright all alone
My friends said hey man what can you do
Let her see whats missing and shell come back to you
They all said it was for the best
But I knew as I watched you leave
I shouldve listened to me, and gotten down on my knees
I heard the words in my heart, dont tear us apart
Come back baby please
I shouldve swallowed my pride, I shouldve broke down and cried
I was the one who knew that you and I were meant to be
I shouldve listened to me
Call it intuition, an instinctual feeling
When you know you bet it all and your gonna lose everything
Thats what I had when you walked out the door
And as each day passes Im feeling it more and more
Now that Im hear its all so clear
How could I have made you see
I shouldve listened to me, and gotten down on my knees
I heard the words in my heart, dont tear us apart
Come back baby please
I shouldve swallowed my pride, I shouldve broke down and cried
I was the one who knew that you and I were meant to be
I shouldve listened
I shouldve listened to me, and gotten down on my knees
I heard the words in my heart, dont tear us apart
Come back baby please
I shouldve swallowed my pride, I shouldve broke down and cried
I was the one who knew that you and I were meant to be
I shouldve listened to me
I shouldve listened to me

I Only Dance With You
Ohh, ohh
Ohhh
Girl, I remember how it all began
You introduced her as your friend
But I knew I was in trouble when
I saw her smile at me
And then she asked me for a dance
But never offered you a glance
Well let me tell you girl with friends like that
Who needs enemies
[chorus:]
Shouldve known better than to trust a friend
Whos jealous of the way we livin
I dont think you know whats happening
Your girl is shading you
Shouldve known better than to trust a friend
Behind your back she gives me rhythm
But Im bout to make her understand
I only dance with you
Girl, you say your friend is just flirting by
Its getting so ridiculous
That shes thinking she can mess with us
But I dont play around
Even when shes saying that youre unaware
And its cool with you to share
No I still ait gonna dance with her
Im telling you right now
[chorus:]
Shouldve known better than to trust a friend
Whos jealous of the way we livin
I dont think you know whats happening
Your girl is shading you
Shouldve known better than to trust a friend
Behind your back she gives me rhythm
But Im bout to make her understand
I only dance with you
Dont try to say I lost the mind
I know your girl has crossed the line (cause I really know that)
She got issues, she trying to diss you
The minute that you turn around
She pulled a switch boo
Cause shes wishing whats yours was hers
So now leave the girl, that aint never gonna work
[chorus:]
Shouldve known better than to trust a friend
Whos jealous of the way we livin
I dont think you know whats happening
Your girl is shading you
Shouldve known better than to trust a friend
Behind your back she gives me rhythm
But Im bout to make her understand
I only dance with you
Shouldve known girl not to trust a friend
Shouldve known jealous of how we livin
Shouldve known I was shading you
Only dance with you
[chorus:]
Shouldve known better than to trust a friend
Whos jealous of the way we livin
I dont think you know whats happening

The Winter Of Our Love
Author unknown (sung by gerry beckley)
Found on heard.
Snow is falling
Evening calling
On knees, a calling friends
Cant you see
Doesnt help to be
The end
Strolling through lost times with you
What were we thinking of
Could it be they jumped the queue
In the winter of our love
Baby, we shouldve known
Where we were going
Shouldve known
Where we were going
Were in the sea of destiny
In the winter of our love
Do you know were alone out here
What am I thinkin of
Did this come to the time of year
Called the winter of our love
Baby, we shouldve known
Where we were going
We shouldve known
Where we were going
Were in the sea of destiny
In the winter of our love
Oh, I needed you so
Ah, you know, I never, never want to let you go

Little things I shouldve said and done, I never took the time

And I guess I never told you, Im so happy that youre mine

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasnt died
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied

Stealin
Take me across the water
cause I need some place to hide
I done the ranchers daughter
And I sure did hurt his pride
Well, theres a
Hundred miles of desert
Lies between his hide and mine
I dont need no food
And no water, lord
cos Im running out of time
Fightin, killin, wine and women
Gonna put me to my grave
Runnin, hidin, losin, cryin
Nothing left to save but my life
Stood on a ridge
And shunned religion
Thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake
Stealin, when i
Shouldve been buyin
All that fightin, killin
Wine and those women
Gonna put me to an early grave
Runnin, hidin, losin, cryin
Nothing left to save but my life, life...
So I stood on a ridge
And shunned religion
Thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake
Stealin, when i
Shouldve been buyin
I was stealin
When I shouldve been buyin
I was stealin
When I shouldve been buyin
Stealin, when i
Shouldve been buyin ..
I was stealin ...

The Last One To Know
(matraca berg, jane mariash)
I didnt see the fire burn to ashes.
I couldnt feel the winds of change.
I was lost inside the passion,
Blinded by the memory of a flame.
I guess I shouldve felt it when you touched me.
I shouldve seen it in your eyes.
But I believed you really loved me .
Why cant I believe youve said goodbye.
Oh why is the last one to know
The first one to cry and the
Last to let go.
Why is the one left behind
The one left alone with no one to hold.
It would be easier to face the morning,
If you were holding me tonight.
But you left me without a warning.
Holding onto a heartache while shes
Holding you tight.
Repeat chorus

All I Have
I m anxious and distraught for the last few days
Now theres nothing of the sort that makes it all right
This moment I am compelled to go off the deep end
I clutch at every straw , my heart is sinking
I give it one more try, I give it all I can
I never wanted more, I give it one more shot
I give it all I have to make things right
What scope is there left? where is the hope then?
Ive heard it all before when life is measured
A slow and tame despair is inside all of us
Your passionate old dreams sometimes you cry for
I give it one more try, I give it all I can
I never wanted more, I give it all I have
I give it one more shot to make things right
Little else we can cherish, little else is not enough
A glimpse, a glimpse of heaven
How can I see the stars?
As all others do, as all others do
As all others do , as all others do
I give it one more try, I give it all I can
I wont fail once more
Take the bull by the horns
Try my luck once more
To make things right
Again
