MAKE MY OWN WAY
Oh boy, the last few days, I've been in a wicked haze
I can't eat, I can't sleep and I can hardly breathe
Yeah, I made my escape, but, baby, don't you chase
Cuz you could chase forever and still never catch me
You're a casualty of my happiness; a remnant of that beautiful mess
I made of my life when I was dirty and proud
Now I'm not saying I'm all clean, but I wiped off enough dirt to see
That you may be fun, boy, but I can't keep you around.
You always found the words to say
That used to made me change my mind and want to say
But that ain't gonna work today
Cuz I am bound and determined to make my own way
Boys like you made me drunk, and I drank so much, I stunk
I knew I'd just keep on drinking if I didn't speed out of here
Baby, see all that dust? That's all that's left of us
Last time I'll ever see you is in the rearview mirror
Baby don't you see the irony?
You set the traps that always made me feel so free.
You said you only did what was best for me.
I bet you never thought you'd see me make my own way
Oh, baby, if you ever wonder about me
Be lucky that I'm even in your memory.
I know exactly what I want to be.
But, baby, first things first, and first I need to make my own way
I JUST GOTTA GET TO YOU
All the way from Philly up to Harlem
Got me feeling silly; I got a problem
Boy I just can’t get you off my mind
Speeding across the Verrazano
I need you boy I'm lost yea; It's crazy I know
Took me way too long to see the light
Yeah, I'mma drive straight through if that’s what I gotta do
I’m tried and true, and baby I ain’t gonna lose
I just gotta get to you
Saturday morning soul radio
I hear ya calling- WBGO
Knows how I feel for you inside
Every little white line flies by so fast
Yea, said it reminds me of a past
I can't wait to leave behind
The city was our playground; it just aint the same without you
I turn the radio loud, but I can’t drown out these blues
Baby think of all those hot summer nights
When we get back home, you'll be by my side
Just right where you belong
Tank is flashing "E" - one more mile
'til youre here with me; II can’t help but smile
Cuz this road has been too long
I'M READY FOR YOU
Today is a good day, baby, to say what I want to say
I can't let myself wait
I should just be brave if I wanna save myself the heartache
Of you going away
I'll just open my mouth
Whatever comes out, comes out
I wanna tell you something I bet you knew already
But I'll say it anyway: oh, yes, I love you baby
I just might fall down, so won't you hold me steady?
For me this is so heavy: baby, I'm ready for you
I know I'm a big tease - I come and I leave, pretty much as I please
But it's so you never see
How close I want to be, cuz when you touch me I fall so completely
It makes me weak in the knees
I'm never this head over heels
I'm scared of how good it feels
I wanna tell you something, boy, you should know already
But I'll say it anyway: oh, yes, I love you baby
Set free the butterflies that live in my belly
I'm such a Nervous Nelly, but I'm still ready for you
I played this out so much in my head
I'm liking this better instead
I wanna tell you something I bet you knew already
But I'll say it anyway: oh, yes, I love you baby
My hands are trembling but don't touch 'em, they're all sweaty
Go break out the confetti - oh, yes I'm ready for you
I wanna tell you something I think you know already
But I'll say it anyway: oh, yes, I love you baby
No, don't you say nothing, cuz you've done good and plenty
Sorry I kept you waiting, but now I'm ready for you
LOVE ME RIGHT
I've been biting my fingers - I've been pacing 'round the room
My desire lingers, boy - I need you here and I need it soon
I've been counting the hours - I've been tugging at my hair
My heart beats with such power - I want you so bad, it isn't fair
I don't need no shining 10 carat diamond
Baby, just love me right
You don't owe me nothing - I just want this one thing
Baby, just love me right
I've been turning the pages of all the stories in my mind
But my hunger still rages; only one thing keeps me satisfied
Other boys have come close, but I'm tired of almost
Baby, just love me right
You love me so good, boy, and you promised you would, boy
Baby, just love me right
When the world's got me tight, baby, take me with all your might, baby
Yeah, man, just love me right
You know where to find me; just come up behind me
And, baby, love me right
I'll beg if I have to: baby, please - I gotta have you
Just get here and love me right
WHEN YOU'RE WITH HER
You and her have had a long history
And this ain't jealousy please believe me
My heart sinks in my chest, thinking about where you are
Into the lion's den, deep and far
You say she was your soulmate once upon a time
You try to put my fears to rest and tell me that you're mine
But I don't feel fine
When you're with her I feel clear like water
Like a piece of glass that's been broken and shattered
Like a grain of sand at the bottom of the sea
When you're with her, you don't see me
When she sees you, she sees family
As if nothing happened and you didn't get the best of me
Baby, I'm screaming, but you can't hear
All the pain I feel comes out in my tears
You used to make love underneathe the sun
Your hand in her hand, 'till the day was done
Why even move on?
When I close my eyes I see her's
So I keep my eyes open, but it still hurts
Baby, don't you miss the old times?
Don't you wanna give it one more try?
Don't you wanna walk away from me and say goodbye?
YOU'LL LOVE ME IN TIME
I thought I had you once, but it was just a dream
I didn't want to get up, then I couldn't fall back asleep
No, no, don't mean to tip my hand, but I wanted it so, so bad
May have been the sweetest dream I've ever had
Said, baby, I've known you for so long
I help you pick out jeans; you help me write songs
But, boy, I got me so many friends
Don't need another one of them
What I want right now is a man
I put myself on the line
And as you sit in silence, baby I'm dying
Say what I think you want to say
If you don't, just say it anyway
Cuz, baby, you'll love me in time
We can be everything that we were before
We can be everything and just a little bit more
I've got no other words to use
Baby, you the man I choose
My sweet love is an offer that you can't refuse
IT'S ALL 'CAUSE OF YOU
I knew when we started, I made my own bed
I listened to my heart instead of listening to my head
Even if I told you, you'd take what I said and just laugh
You never say you're sorry, when I run off, you don't chase
You never care to notice all the pain that's on my face
You think all those sins can just be erased, but they can't
You never bend, so I break
It's more than I can take
Why don't you understand?
Just cuz you don't see me don't mean I don't cry, too
Just cuz you don't hear me don't mean I don't wonder why just as much as you do
Just cuz you don't feel me doesn't mean that I don't boo hoo
Boy, I do... It's all 'cause of you
Yeah, I try so hard, but I can't try no more
Boy, I know my heart ain't no revolving door
I used to toss and turn, but baby, now I'm sure
Yeah, I'm gone
Baby you leave me no choice
Now will you hear my voice?
I deserve so much more
By your side I was lonely
Now alone I am free
To find someone to love me right
IMPOSSIBLE TO LOVE
You say that I’m too hard to love
I run away when things get rough
A troubled soul, just like my dad
Left behind all the love he coulda had
Don’t know what to say, no
You grab my hand to make me stay
But all I wanna do is run far away
Because I’m Impossible to love - you said it yourself boy
I’m impossible to love
I’m Impossible to love - you can’t take it back now
I’m impossible to love…oh oh oh
Or is it me and who I am
Scared to let you in & be your woman
Like a butterfly that lands on your hand
Stays for a minute then flies off again
Show me that you're not the same
That flying off would be a mistake
Prove to me that my heart isn't destined to break
Cause I feel impossible to love - I can't help it
I feel impossible to love
I feel impossible to love - I've always felt it
I'm impossible to love
I keep my heart locked up tight
I know it ain't right, but I can't help but fight
S'just the way I've always been
The reality is that I may always be
Why don't you love me for who I am?
I got all these visions
Of you and I running through my head
But I wanna make them a reality instead
I'm not impossible to love - I'll show you if you let me
I'm not impossible to love
I'm not impossible to love - I won't let you forget me
I'm not impossible to love
AIN'T NO HOME
I stare at the window
Take a pull of my cigarette
It's 3 o'clock in the morning boy
And you ain't home yet
I'm still on fire from our last argument
Seems like forever
But only 4 days came and went
This ain't no home without you
I feel like the rain
That's been pouring on the ground
Wondering where you might be
And when you'll come back around
Can't get to sleep cause I hang on everyone sound
Ever since you up and gone, I've been sinking down
This ain't no home without you
Can't cry no more cuz my eyes have dried out
Boy this is the last time I'll do without
Tired of sitting home waiting by the door
So I'm gonna grab my coat and keys
And leave you wanting more
Boy you won this battle, but I'm gonna win the war
You gonna walk back in
And start screaming what you shoulda said before
I WANT LOVE (MORE THAN I WANT YOU)
Something about you baby lately is strange
And now it's strange enough for me to walk away
You had this hold on me once
It kept me 'round when I really shoulda run away
You ain't nothing like anyone I know
I hardly even like you and I know it shows
You don't do the things that you should
I can't even believe I used to think you looked good
Yea, that used to be enough
When I wanted something to do
But now I realize
Baby, I want love more than I want you
I want someone who will see it through
Who'll rise above, I really don't care who
Baby, I want love more than I want you
Boy you give less than half of what you get from me
When I'm not looking, you're laughing I bet at me
We fight each other like enemies
I'm tired of giving you the best of me
I know you think you've got it made
Cuz I used to love you so much
But now it's different
CAGED HEART
This poor heart of mine turned so cold
When I was young, 17 years old
I gave so much of it - I still remember that day
Before I even knew what I was giving away
I dusted myself off and vowed that day
That I would never again feel that way
I feel so much more safe in my
Caged heart - I was all alone
Caged heart was all I’d ever known
This old heart of mine it got along
Just fine on its own
It coulda stayed that way had I not seen
You walk my way
In your worn out jeans
Oh what a surprise, I never knew
That I’d ever find a man like you
Who could break through my
Caged heart, what you do to me
Caged heart, you set me free
They say that cages are for sinners
But I don’t want to be a prisoner
Yours is a love that I earned
A sweet reward for time well served
My lesson learned
Caged heart, I can’t pretend
Caged heart, worst place I’ve ever been
I won’t go back again
BRING BACK THE OCEAN
I just want to swim in your love 'til my fingers prune
I'll be the tide, you be the moon
You be the sun and I'll be the sky
Shine your love on me, so bright
You could burn a hole through me - I wouldn't fight it
For every mistake that I've made
For never settling your heart
Before I took it all away and it all went dark
Bring back the ocean - let it drown my heart
Standing on the edge of the world
A world I tried to leave behind
I toss my message to the wind
'cuz I know you'll find it
JUST MOVE ON
Whatcha holding on to, babe? Why can't you move on?
You got no pride, wrecking up someone else's life cuz you hate your own
Ain't nobody's fault but yours you're alone
And here's something to remember: I'm not someone you'll forget
My simple gaze will haunt your days, you ain't over me yet
And you never will be, oh, baby I bet
Baby, If I ever really loved you enough
I'd still have you on my arm, not be shaking you off
Telling you to go away - go on, baby, get lost!
Boy, don't you get it? Look, I'm gone
It's true cuz I said it: you ain't the one
Oh, you'll regret : you were wrong
Boy, just forget it - don't drag this on
I ain't the one, so just move on
You shoulda done me right, boy; it woulda been so easy to do
Yeah, I told you plain what would have made me stay, but you didn't come through
That was all I needed to break away from you
When something's done, it's done and baby this is one
If you want love, you best find you someone
Who'll put up with what I would not, no, no
I know you think you're hitting me where it hurts
But I promise you, man, you're gonna feel it worse when we're through
And nobodyelse is loving you
THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS
I work hard every day, but I've got nothing to show
Except this deep back ache and my worn out soles
When I get home, I'm too tired to think
So I turn off my phone and pour myself a drink
Then I remember that he's not here
Cuz there's peace in the valley and a fridge full of beer
No there ain't no way he's coming back home
Until that man changes his ways
No there ain't no way, and I know he knows
He made one too many mistakes
Until that man makes some amends
This is where it ends
Work hard every day, but it ain't what I deserve
I'm still paying for my faith like I have since my birth
I gave that man everything I had
I'm not heartbroken - I'm just so damned mad
I said there ain't no way I'll let him back in
Until that man tells me he's sorry
No there ain't no way he's gonna slide on his sin
So many nights he left me to worry
Until that man makes some amends
This is where it ends
I ain't down with being wronged, being battered
By a man who should be strong, who should know better
No there ain't no way I'll let him back in my life
Until that man does something different
No there ain't no way because it ain't right
He swore he'd stop, but lord knows he didn't
Until that man makes some amends
This is where it ends
