When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Living alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
Chorus
All By my self
Don't want to be all by my self
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And love's so distant and obscure
Remain's the cure

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself any more
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And love's so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna live all by myself anymore
When I was yo...
I been down about as low as anyone can get
The whole world was closin' in, couldn't find a friend
No one else could help me, I had to walk through the fire alone
Life has brought me to my knees and faith has led me home
Let the storm rage around me, I will stand, I will fight
And when the darkness surrounds me
I will make my own light, I may not win every battle
But I'll get stronger with ever...
Down in the Delta there's a tattoo parlor
With a black and white picture hangin' on the wall
Oh, oh of a stripper
The men are still talkin' 'bout the rainy night she walked in
Took off her shirt like it was nothin' at all, oh, oh what a picture
Everyone assumed she'd been drinkin'
When she pointed to her shoulders
And said, "Boys, here's what I'm thinkin
Put a Devil on the left, an Angel on th...
You really don't know
Exactly what you're doin' to me, do you?
I try to play it cool but I'm a fool
Each time you look at me that way
Your way, what can I say
Boy, you turn me on
Woo
Smile, you got the kind of smile
That's so perfectly indescribable
Eyes bluer than the bluest bluebird
Flying up in the bluest sky
No lie, that I am falling for
Every little thing about you
Every little thing that...
I don't know what brought us here
But I know there's no easy way out
One thing is perfectly clear
I can't live alone in that house
Enough is enough
I don't have the answers, I don't know the reasons
Or where we got lost but I still believe
We can find our way back
Baby just follow me home tonight, follow me through the door
We can start starting over, I don't wanna fight like this anymore
Baby...
Wake up, ninety miles an hour
Take the world's fastest shower
Coffee black, microwave it
I'm at at my best caffeinated
Out the door, pick up the pace
I'm here, I'm there, I'm everyplace
That's how it goes, a day in my life
I'm on my toes, from morning to night
Livin' like this, some might say it's
So exhaustin' frenzied, manic
Call me nuts but I like it frantic
I'm not built for relaxing
I get...
Hey, hey, alright ladies
We're gonna show them
How it's done
I've been starin' all day at the same computer screen
Around here I'm treated like I'm just some damn machine
I punch in, I tune out, nobody cares what I'm all about
But at five that ends, they're waitin' for me, my girlfriends
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're gonna get loud
No doubt we're gonna get crazy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, who cares
If we do ...
It was one of those days when she couldn?t find a single ray of sunshine
There wasn?t even a cloud up in the sky
After thirteen years at the factory they sorry mam but we?re downsizin
That?s the way life is, good luck with the rest of it
She looked me in the eye and said this ain?t the first time I?ve taken the fall,
but let me tell you girl what?s gotten me through is keepin faith through it ...
Her little blond hair's blowin'
She's swingin' while her daddy's mowin' the grass
And the dog needs a bath
But he's chasing the cat up a tree
I'm lookin' out the window
Happy just watching my world go around
And I think to myself
How lucky can a girl be
I've got everything more than I ever dreamed
I love my life
I thank God for all I have
And that I love this man who loves his wife
I love my l...
I'm gonna make you a promise
Starting tonight
If I never do anything else
For the rest of my life
I'm gonna hold somebody
I'm gonna look in someone's eyes
'Til I'm so overcome that I cry
I'm gonna love somebody
More than anybody
Baby, there's so much I wanna do
But I'm not gonna do anything without you
There's no way I'll ever give up
There's no way I'll lose
If I have to sacrifice everything
...
I'm gonna make you a promise
Starting tonight
If I never do anything else
For the rest of my life
I'm gonna hold somebody
I'm gonna look in someone's eyes
'Til I'm so overcome that I cry
I'm gonna love somebody
More than anybody
Baby, there's so much I wanna do
But I'm not gonna do anything without you
There's no way I'll ever give up
There's no way I'll lose
If I have to sacrifice everything
...
What I'm feeling, time is gonna heal it
I've been hearin' that for so long now
They say, I'll move on, got to try and be strong
Life will go on, I'll get through this somehow
Oh, but how?
When I'm still waiting for you to come back
If you could only come back
I'm aching for you to walk through that door
Hold me once more but you won't
Still I go on waiting
It was a Sunday, we buried you in the...
Sometimes I think about the way it was,
When we fell in love.
Things were different then
Innocent and wide open,
Free and beautiful
I want to feel like that again
But somewhere along the journey
I lost a part of me
And I know you can help me get it back
Yeah help me get it back
[[Chorus]]
Baby lay me down on our bed
Touch my body like only you can
Kiss me softly,
Take away my breath
Slow it do...
How you been, boy you're lookin' good
Are you still livin' down in Birmingham
Funny how things didn't turn out
Like we thought they would
Now here we are standin' face to face again
Two old long lost friends
Laughin' 'bout when we'd sing
"Born in the USA"
And we'd scream it at the top of our lungs
Remember how you'd always say
You were gonna change the world
And yeah, I would always be your gi...
I've been walkin' through life
With a bullet proof vest
Shielding emotions
Acting like I couldn't care less
I kept love at a distance
My defenses were locked and alert
Then you say hello and the next thing I know
I'm ready to risk bein' hurt
No more protectin' my heart now, darlin'
My soul is out of the dark now yes it is
I'm settin' my sails tail winds prevail
And I'm on my way
You've got me ...
I worked a little while, in a little town in Colorado
But the winters were just a little bit too long
So, I decided California was the place that I'd go
And I was gone
Fell in love, got my heart broke down in San Diego
I was off and driftin' any way the wind was blowin'
That was then, way back when, I didn't have a clue where I was goin'
No, I had no way of knowin' I was
On my way to you, ther...
A family that loves me
More friends than I can count
Got that job I always wanted
Nothing to complain about
I know I've got so much going
Still I've got so much gone
The only thing wrong in my life
Are the arms that don't hold me
Through the long lonely nights
The only thing wrong in my life
Is you're not in it baby, oh
I ought to simply move on
And shrug off your goodbye
But it's hard to see ...
She wakes up some days life is cruel
She's on a chain gang sittin' in a typin' pool
And her brain feels all dragged down
The gossip flies, the coffee's stale
She wants to run outside and scream like hell
'Til it turns her luck around
Doesn't matter how insane it gets
She's got one dream and her sights set, she says
"I'm just waitin' for it
I'm just makin' sure that my heart's steady as a drum
...
What is this thing you do, makes me just tell the truth
Whenever I turn to you I surrender
Fears that I've tried to hide and every old alibi
Now I see a source of light, just within my reach
You are my sanctuary, my beacon in the night
You opened up your heart, you let me walk inside
When the world is turnin' crazy, I run to your embrace
Only you can save me, I've finally found a place
To lay ...
She looks in his eyes, he looks away
She chalks it up as another one of those days
If there's a reason he's coming home late
She hasn't heard it yet
She warms up his dinner but he can't eat
She makes conversation when he don't speak
He shakes his head as the silence screams
'Cause she hasn't heard it yet
If only love could cry out loud
It'd be enough
To send this old house crashing down
Still ...
Don't know how you do it, like there's nothing to it
You just look my way
You come a little closer, I lose my composure
Don't know what to say
I'm overwhelmed, you smile, I melt
And somewhere inside
Oh, baby I
Shiver, tremble, I never
No I never once felt so much
It shakes me, how you take me
Deeper than I've ever been
It's to the core, under my skin I shiver
I love the way you whisper
Slowly,...
She's never pulled anyone from a burning building
She's never rocked Central Park to a half a million fans
Screaming out her name
She's never hit a shot to win the game
She's never left her footprints on the moon
She's never made a solo hot air balloon ride, around the world
No, she's just your everyday average girl
But
She's somebody's hero
A hero to her baby with a skinned up knee
A little k...
He promised her a new and better life, out in Arizona
Underneath the blue never ending sky
Swore that he was gonna get things in order, he'd send for her
When he left her behind, it never crossed her mind
There is no Arizona, no Painted Desert, no Sedona
If there was a Grand Canyon
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her
But they don't exist, those dreams he sold her
She'll wake up an...
To be with you
I would risk a thousand lifetimes
To be with you
There's no mountain that I wouldn't climb
If you're the sky
Let me be the cloud that runs right through you now
You don't know just how I need to
Be with you there can be no substitute
To be with you
I've tried to hide my passion but it's
Just no use
Piece by piece I lose it when you
Walk in the room
How can I get through
If I can...
I hear he's out there somewhere
Been looking for him everywhere
From Roswell to Timbuktu
I thought I found him once at a Jiffy lube
But it turned into a dead end
So I got my oil changed and I tried again
He was a major in archeology
I was diggin' on him but he wasn't on me
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man
Is like trying to find Atlantis
It's a mystery like the deep blue sea
You ca...
Did you know when you were holdin' me
By that fire in Jackson Hole, that you were gonna let me go
And did you know when we were flyin' home, I was fallin' hard for you
I thought you were the one, were you only havin' fun?
When did you know, we weren't lookin' at forever?
How could we be so close and still not be together
Every dream I believed has now come down to just one question
When did yo...
Why does the color of my coffee match your eyes?
Why do I see you when a stranger passes by?
I swear, I hear you in the whisper of the wind
I feel you when the sun is dancin' on my skin
And when it's rainin'
You won't find me complainin' 'cause
When I think about rain
I think about singin'
When I think about singin'
It's a heavenly tune
When I think about Heaven then
I think about agels
When I...
Say goodbye, maybe that's one way to go
Walk away and say it's over, call it history
Do I believe we'd better off apart?
Can I see my world without you in it?
Baby, not for a single minute
Let the moon give up the night
All the stars leave Heaven on high
The sun would burn out before I'd ever lose you
We can get over any wall
If we have to fly, run, climb or crawl
Love will always lead us back...
Say goodbye maybe that's one way to go
Walk away and say it's over call it history
Do I believe we'd better off apart
Can I see my world without you in it
Baby, not for a single minute

The sun would burn out before I'd ever lose you
We can get over any wall
If we have to fly, run, climb or crawl
Love will always lead us back
Wher...
I was a traveler travelin' alone
Crossin' that desert they call the 'Unknown
Lost in a valley of shadows and sinking sand
Hopeless was circling over my head
Patiently waiting for my last step
I was a desperate woman in no man's land
Like an angel of mercy, emotional savior
You took me in your arms and out of danger
You rescued me in the nick of time
I was right on the edge of goin' out of my m...
