Flowers
You don?t have to bring me flowers
Oh but that would be nice
And hours mm
We don?t have to talk for hours
But sharing how you really feel
That would be alright
You know it doesn?t take that much
To say I love you, all I need is a touch of
Chorus:
Honesty
A shoulder from me
Sayin? baby how was your day
And as the years add up
Your love won?t fade away
Mhm
To know you?re there for me
Unc...
Lyin' on a hillside
All alone in the twilight
Watchin' the stars pop out
Feelin kinda small right now
Contemplatin' all that space
All the planets in their place
Wonderin' where I fit in
As the world slowly spins around me
Around me, the universe surrounds me
I thirst and I hunger
I search and I wonder
Chorus:
Is there anybody out there
Somebody out there
That one body out there
I believe ther...
Why settle when it comes to love
You can?t make more than what?s barely enough
And why did I cheat myself
By lyin? to my heart that there?s no one else
I guess it was still learnin? its okay to want the best
To hold out for perfection and damn the rest
Chorus:
I want fireworks
Like the 4th of July
And love that?s true blue
Like a clear summer sky
I want passion so strong
That it makes me wanna...
It's the way I think not how I talk-- oh no
It's a pride you feel that makes you walk the walk -uh huh
Come Sunday morning palms up in praise-- yeah
It's all about my mama 'nem
And how I was raised--uh huh
It's a state of mind no matter where you're from
Living like your grandma done
Cause good home training ain't a common thing -no
If this is who you are, let me hear you say
oh
Chorus:
MMHMM
...
I water the flowers on my window ledge
Visions runnin through my head
Fields of indigo and red
I hear the words I can?t forget
And I remember what you said
And how you?d always hold me
And how one day you?d show me
Chorus 1
The bluebonnets in Texas
The magnolias in Savannah
The sunflowers in Kansas
Yeah that?s what you said
The desert roses in Nevada
Wild daisies in Montana
That was the plan
B...
You hold onto hope
She?ll change her mind
Come runnin? back
Straight back to you
You hold onto the past
Won?t set it free
You keep makin? wishes
That just won?t come true
Chorus:
Well baby, let go of what used to be
Hold onto me
And let go of what makes you lonely
Hold onto me
And give up the heartache
The nights you lie awake
It?s easy to set it free
And hold onto me
Cause you need a rock
And...
Knew when to pack it in
Admit it?s over
And I knew when to stop callin? him at all
And I knew when to stop cryin?
On my momma?s shoulders
And when to spend away my blues
On new shoes at the mall
Chorus:
Oh I did my part
Held up my end of the bargain
Stopped all my whinin?
Stopped throwin? fits and?
Well I?m losin? my patience
And I?m so tired of waitin?
Cause hurt don?t know when to quit
It?s ...
Well nobody?s perfect
I struggle everyday
In this fight to change my wicked ways
It ain?t easy
Still payin? dues
Sometimes the light
Leaves me shakin? in my boots
It?s a hard, heavy load
But I will rise above
Cause I?m not of this world
No I am not who I was
Cause I?m not of this world
As slave to my cravings
Is what I used to be
Played with fire
Didn?t mean a thing to me
Then I discovered
My ...
If you?ve got leavin? on your mind
Tell me now, get it over
Hurt me now, get it over
If you?ve got leavin? on your mind
If there?s a new love in your heart
Tell me now, get it over
Hurt me now, get it over
If there?s a new love in your heart
Don?t leave me here
In a world
Filled with dreams
That might have been
Hurt me new, get it over
I maybe learn to love again
If there?s a new love in your ...
Feel so guilty about your love
What I feel is not enough
I?m close to you like a friend
More than that is just pretend
And there?s a part of me
That loves to know I have your heart
That?s the selfish part
I can see your heart breakin?
Like you know it?s gonna end
Cause I can?t love you like a woman
And you can?t love me like a friend
No you?ll never say good bye
No it?s up to me and lord knows...
If I need a little T-L-C
It ain?t no sacrifice
If I need a little H-O-T
I don?t have to ask twice
He?s there
Like a shock
It don?t matter when or where?naw
And when I make it for a little space
Well he don?t get insecure
And when I crave a lot face to face
He?s like an answer to a prayer
Cause he holds me like a Sunday morning
Rocks me like a Saturday night
He?s my Mr. Ooh La La
Give me what I...
I like his smile
But I see the devil in his eyes
He talk the talk
And I can read the between the lines
I like the way he feels
When he holds me in his arms
But there?s a voice inside me sayin?
Girl don?t go too far
Oh these sweet contradictions
Tearin? me apart
Do I listen to my mind
Or do I listen to my heart
Or do I state my convictions
Or look the other way
What?s the price I?ll have to pay...
