Shoulda' Listened
Ohhh... yeah
I should have stopped, looked and listened before I proceeded
But caution I threw to the wind
Manyve been placed in my life to help lead me and guide me
But I didnt want to talk to them
So I ignored their advice and I tried to disguise pain from you and all the things you did
The wrong road was chosen my heart has been broken
Cause I didnt want to hear them
Shoulda said what I didnt say
Shoulda went right but I went left that day
Shoulda prayed but instead I strayed
Shoulda gone a different way
Shoulda listened to my mother
When she said that you were no good for me
Shoulda listened to my pastors
When they told me turn around and leave you be
Shoulda listened to my sisters
When they said that I was too blind to see
But I see the light somehow
And I vow to listen now
I had the chance to advance and it seemed like the best
Opportunity that I could get
I didnt bother to see if my people agreed
Maybe I knew what they would say and yet
I didnt control it I kept going for it
When I shoulda known it wasnt in Gods plan
Had to let go, had I listened before
I wouldve said no from the door
Shoulda said what I didnt say
Shoulda went right but I went left that day
Shoulda stayed but instead I strayed
Shoulda gone a different way
Shoulda listened to my mother
When she said that you were no good for me
Shoulda listened to my pastors
When they told me turn around and leave you be
Shoulda listened to my sisters
When they said that I was too blind to see
But I see the light somehow
And I vow to listen now
Shoulda listened to my mother
When she said that you were no good for me
Shoulda listened to my pastors
When they told me turn around and leave you be
Shoulda listened to my sisters
When they said that I was too blind to see
But I see the light somehow
And I vow to listen now
Shoulda listened I know I shoulda listened
But I know that I vow to listen now
Shoulda listened I know I shoulda listened
But you dont have to tell me twice I'm going to listen now
Shoulda listened if only I had listened
But Ive learned my lesson now
Im gonna listen now
Shoulda listened cause I just cant be missing
All the things God has for me
Repeat till end

Take Me Back
I shoulda seen it coming
I shoulda seen the signs
Didn't really think that she needs me
Must've 'bin blind
She didn't give me a warning
Said I shouldn't treat you wrong
But when I woke up this mornin'
She was gone gone gone
She said...
Take me back won't ya
Take me back won't ya
I'll change my ways
Take me back won't ya
Take me back won't ya
I'm not the same
She didn't tell me about it
Am I supposed to read your mind
You make me get up and shout it
It's a crime crime crime
I shoulda seen it coming
I shoulda seen the signs
Didn't really think that she needs me
Must've 'bin blind
She said...
Take me back won't ya
Take me back won't ya

Take me back won't ya

Won't ya take me back

I should have listened to God
I should have listened to God
When he said that it would end
I should have listened to God
And been just friends
I should have listened to God
Before it was too late
I should have listened to God
But now I deal with fate
I should have listened to God
That it would break my heart
I should have listened to God
That it would fall apart
I should have listened to God
Because he loves me in everyway
I should have listened to God
And all that he had to say
I should have listened to God
And show what he made me to be
I should have listened to God
But I know he has forgiven me!
Why Should I Care?
Back in the day
When I was younger
I wasnt afraid
Of giving my heart to you
Now and again
I get sentimental
But I know its just a phase Im going through
And every time I start to slip
I just remind myself
I need only think of it
I went through so much hell
You say ya wanna get things back
The way they used to be
Can you give me one good reason
Why should I darlin
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care
Back in the day
I shoulda been wiser
But what can I say
I shoulda been onto you
But I was afraid
That youd break my heart in two
Fate would have it that you broke it anyway baby
And every time I close my eyes
I just remind myself
You told about a million lies
You put my heart through hell
And now you wanna get with me
Just for old times sake
Well I am not about to make that same mistake
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care
You see a girl that you gave all your love
I see a girl you took advantage of
You see a girl that you cannot forget
I see a man that I cannot forgive
Tell me why
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care
Back in the day when I was young
I wasnt afraid to love
Back in the day
You were the one what was I thinking of
Back in the day
Shoulda been wiser
Shoulda been onto you
But I was afraid I make a mistake
No one knows

50-card Steve
There goes 3-card Mike
with all he can fight
when he left yesterday
he shoulda went right
And theres 5-card Billy
with 7-card Jack
they both get silly
smokin' that crack
And Alabama Chuck
has been down on his luck
he shoulda played Razz
instead of 7-card Stud
But they all have something in common
when they all pack up and leave-
They never had a clue
while playin' with 50-card Steve,
that he always had you
with that Ace up his sleeve.

In Demand
When we were together I was blown away
Just like paper from a fan
But you would act like I was just a kid
Like we were never gonna last
Now Ive got someone who cares for me
He wrote my name in silver sands
I think you know youve lost the love of your life
(and you said) I was the best youve ever had
Because Im in demand
Youre thinking of the way you shoulda held my hand
And all the times you said you didnt understand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now Im in demand
Dont ever think you saw the best in me
Theres a side youll never know
Cos love and loving are too different things
Set your sites far too low
Now Ive got someone who cares for me
He wrote my name in silver sands
I think you know youve lost the love of your life
(and you said) I was the best youve ever had
Because Im in demand
Youre thinking of the way you shoulda held my hand
And all the times you said you didnt understand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now Im in demand
Youre thinking of the way you shoulda held my hand
And all the times you said you didnt understand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now Im in demand
Its only when I fall asleep
I see that winning smile
When my dreams just move along
Youve lost the race by miles
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
(never had our love written in your plans)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Because Im in demand
Youre thinking of the way you shoulda held my hand
And all the times you said you didnt understand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now Im in demand
You know Im in demand
You see Im in demand
You know Im in demand
You know Im in demand
You never had our love written in your plans
You know Im in demand
You see Im in demand
You need me in demand
You want me in demand

Never Mind
[1] - never mind that he dont love you
Never mind that he dont care
Ill give you love the way you want it
Say its alright and Ill be there
Ill be right there
Shoulda known it when I saw you baby
Shoulda never let him call you, baby
No matter how I try
No longer can I hide
The way I feel
Thats why Im asking you
[repeat 1]
Girl I got places I want you to be
And so many things I want you to see
If youd only put your trust in me
Baby Ill show you love

Oh lady say yes and Ill be where you are

You listened
You took the time
To hear me.
A person that
Was never to judge me.
You listened to my fears.
You would listen
As I nearly cryed.
I never really knew.
An act of kindness.
Till you came
And you listened.
Nothing I said
Ever makes you mad.
You listen to everything
Trying to help me.
You listened
To every thing
I had to say.
Never judging.
You would listen as
I would cry.
You didnt seem to mind
If I did or not.
You always take
The time to listen.

I Shouldve Listened
I SHOULD'VE LISTENED WHEN MY MOM SHOWED ME RIGHT FROM WRONG
I SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO MY MOM WHEN SHE SAID BEING IN THE STREETS ALL NIGHT LONG WAS WRONG
I SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO MY MOM WHEN SHE TOLD ME THA TI WAS IN THE WRONG
I SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO MY MOM WHEN SHE WAS ONLY TRYING TO KEEP ME SAFE
I SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO ALL THE THINGS THAT MY MOM ONCE TOLD ME...NOW ITS TOO LATE CAUSE IM GONE...
I WAS SIXTEEN AND WAS BURIED 6 FEET FROM HEAD TO FEET...

Will He Be Waiting For Me
I can still see that lonesome road stretched out before me
The road that led me out of his life
I can still feel the tears he cried on my shoulder
The day that I told him good-bye
I never shoulda left him
Never shoulda gone
Oh what a crazy fool Ive been
Chorus:
Will he be waiting for me
He will be, wont he
And will he take me back again
2nd chorus:
He will be waiting for me
He will be, wont he
Or could it be his love for me has faded and has died
He will be waiting for me
He will be, wont he
Or will I find that this time
Ill be the one to cry
Shadows from the trees
Shade the path that I am walkin
As I make my way back up that windy road again
The smell of mountain laurel fills the air with sweet perfume
My heart beats faster as I near my journeys end
I wonder if he missed me
Wonder if he wants me
I wonder does he love me still
Will he be waiting for me
He will be, wont he
Oh how I hope he will
Repeat 2nd chorus twice

Lovething
It must have been the way that she kissed me,
Made me as weak as a lamb.
Tastes so fine like french silk pie,
Sweet as strawberry jam.
It could have been the thing that she told me,
When she threw her wrench at my monkey.
Shoulda been a cool scene,
Like honey on a ripped queen.
I thought it was a day-dream,
But it must have been a lovething.
I smiled at the way that she told me,
i just cant turn you a-loose.
She was a force majeure in her haute couture,
I was howlin at the moon.
Thats when I jumped out of her window,
Before my monkey could cook her goose.
Shoulda been a cool scene,
Like honey on a ripped queen.
I thought it was a day-dream,
But it must have been a lovething.

We Die Young
Scarys on the wall
Scarys on his way
Watch where you spit
Id advise you wait until its over
Then you got hit
And you shoulda known better
And we die young
Faster we run
Down, down, down youre rollin
Watch the blood float in the muddy sewer
Take another hit
And bury your brother
And we die young
Faster we run
Scarys on the wall
Scarys on his way
Another alley trip
Bullet seek the place to bend you over
Then you got hit
And you shoulda known better
Faster we run
And we die young

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda- In A Changing World
what a slang words most people usually said today,
so sweet that, early morning it chores to the songs
of birds in the trees
it adds color of the day, a beautiful scene, an echo in
my ears, when the TV and my wife murmur ask to what
is happening today
I do believe in magic in a most sweeping believable
reality, a wisdom of human power, the language of
the universe today
woulda want to know what happen today, woulda the
stock market is going high, woulda the election be
fair, a very effected word that everybody remember and
understand the meaning
oh coulda the scientist make a difference in today's illness
coulda talk to me, education in this millennium coulda
make people satisfied of what is going on in this planet
shoulda we know the rating of each candidate for presidency
shoulda i miss you for a while, shoulda make me happy of the
offer my company gives
it is just a simple words, but it give us direction of where to
go, a powerful high sounding commitment, that geared us to
do the action, such phenomenon of affirmation is the world
needs it today
the world was created by the power of the words, it is now
the right time to use these words to change the world, we will
make the world a place to breed our offspring, say to
anybody you meet today...woulda help me make the world
happy, coulda do it for our family, shoulda we make things
possible to happen....make then a DIFFERENCE

Was It Something Didn't Say
Spending another night alone
Wondering when I\'m gonna 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, yeah
I let my love go unexpressed
\'Till it was too late
You walked away
CHORUS:
Was it some thing I didn\'t say
When I didn\'t say "I love you"
Was it words that you never heard
all those words I should have to you
All those times, all those nights when I had the chance to
Was it something I did\'t say
(I did\'t say,Baby..I did\'t say)
Always assumed that you\'d be there
Could\'t forsee the day you\'d ever be leaving me
How could I let my world slip through my hands baby
I took for granted that you knew, yeah
All of the love I had for you, yeah
I guess you never had a clue
\'Till it was too late
You walked away
REPEAT CHORUS
All the words were in my heart
They went unspoken
Baby now my silent heart is a heart that\'s broken
I shoulda said so many things
Shoulda let you know you\'re the one I needed near me
But I never let you hear me

Aint Nothing But Love
[verse 1]
Shoulda know, when I looked into those eyes that, I was going to be free
From the bondage of those who never loved me
And I shoulda know, when he simply touched my hand, he would understand
All of my wants and all of my needs
You were sent alone to love me
[hook]
Aint nothing but love (that what it is)
And it gets sweeter and sweeter
Like heaven on earth
Wont you just give me more and more
[verse 2]
You love me baby winter, spring, summer and fall
And its like Im blinded
I see no one but you at all
Just the sound of your voices give me
Chills up my spine ya ooo it thrill me when
You love me all night
Your lips speak to me in a language I never knew ooo, but oh how
I understand your heart
When it feels the love from you

Dirty Dawg
You should have treated me right
But you left me lonely and cold at night.
Since you wont, someone will
Treat me better and be for real.
If you didnt want it you shoulda let me know
But since you didnt want it, then girl you got to go.
You left me sad and lonely, and ran away from home
So since Im not your only, then go and fetch your bone.
Chrous:
Dawg, dirty dawg, dawg, dirty dawg,
Dawg, ooh, youre a dirty, dirty,
Dawg, dirty dawg, dawg, dirty dawg,
Dawg, oh, youre sow damn dirty.
I gave you all that I can
Til I caught you swinginwith another man
But this time you strayed too far
Now you come beggin like the dog you are.
If you didnt want it you shoulda let me know
But since you didnt want it, then girl you got to go.
Dont think that you can play me, and jerk me all around.
You used to be ma baby, now your ass is in the pound.
Chorus:
Dawg, dirty dawg, dawg, dirty dawg,
Oohh, youre a drty, dirty,
Dawg, dirty dawg, dawg, dirty dawg
Oh, youre so damn dirty.
Yo, yo, why you wanna act like a tramp, a wet food stamp,
I think its time for me to break camp
Had a crush on my man the first time we met.
Now what you see is what you get
Lost more than a mil on a gambling bet
So heres the chuckwagon for the dog in you,
Heres the kennelration and the alpo too
Now you know I didnt want her
She tried to back me on a corner told her
Blow the horn like little jack horner
Forever forbidden, the fast girls in life
The fast cars they callem kittens
Theyve been known to amaze
But they cant pull one over me
I got game for days
Save the sap rap for the handicapped
Ive been around the block and I didnt
Fall for the trimmed trap.

My Heart Beat Like A Hammer

I woke up one morning
Waking with the rising sun
Woke up one morning
Awakin with the rising sun, ahh
Thought about my baby
Did I just do what she done
Well, I shoulda loved you more
I know I didnt treat her right
Oh, yes, I shoulda loved you more
I know I didnt treat her right
I know that a woman needs
Rollin every day and night
Oh, yeah
Break:
Well, my heart beat like a hammer
My eyes plumb full of tears
Yes, my heart beat like a hammer
My eyes plumb full of tears
Shes been gone about an hour
But it seems like a thousand years
Dont ever dog your woman
You know youre gonna ruin yourself
Dont ever dog your woman
You know youre gonna ruin yourself
Know that a woman shell
Run off with somebody else

I guess I shoulda known
By the way u parked your car sideways
That it wouldn't last
See you're the kinda person
That believes in makin' out once
Love 'em and leave 'em fast
I guess I must be dumb
'Cuz U had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And U say what have I got 2 lose?
And honey I say
Little red corvette
Baby you're much 2 fast
Little red corvette
U need a love that's gonna last
I guess I shoulda closed my eyes
When U drove me 2 the place
Where your horses run free
'Cuz I felt a little ill
When I saw all the pictures
Of the jockeys that were there before me
Believe it or not
I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And U say
