Well normally I’m rational, but I’m about to lose my cool
She’s been secretly scheming to take a bite of you
Oh honey now I know you think she’s harmless, but I know a woman’s moves
The next time she touches you I’m going through the roof
‘Cause honey there’s just

One woman with the sex appeal
One woman with the cards to deal
One woman gonna do you right
One woman gonna rock you tonight

You might be entertaining thoughts of treating your sweet tooth
And she’s a very pretty package with her lashes and her jewels
But honey now you'll only know regret when you taste the bitter fruit
And all her high maintenance needs come crashing down on you

Baby I know you may fail to see familiarity’s beauty
But I would like to think that it makes me well equipped to meet your needs
I told you once that two is harmony but three is bound to start a fight
But baby I guarantee you’ll scream my name tonight when you turn out the lights

Went down to the fireside to try and light my imagination
But I’d seen it all before
Went down to the waterside to try and quench this fascination
But I came back wanting more
Got this itching deep inside of me
Won’t you give me something interesting?
I think I found it on my TV
And in this dirty magazine

Oh give me the news

You’re beautiful and troubled too such a perfect combination
We’ve got just the place for you
In black and white, the tabloid scene, on CNN and MTV
That ought to help you work it through
I got these people all figured out
They got nothing to complain about
If I had that kind of money
I would buy myself some privacy

Oh give me the news
Just someone I can abuse

So c’mon tell Betty, gimme the news
Cause I’m thirsty, thirsty for the juice
Who’s down, who’s addicted, who’s using who?
Who’s talking smack, who’s breaking the rules
Who’s mixed up, beat up, trying to keep their head up
Lookin’ bad, lookin’ good comin’ to your neighborhood
Knocked up, knocked out, shooting up and strung out
Pounding down the devil’s door, C’mon baby gimme more

Well I’ve seen your face a hundred times
But I’ve never been this close
I’ve got stories and dreams of our first meeting
But it’s the truth that scares me the most
Well you seem kinda shy but you’ve got a great smile
And I know your eyes are blue
But now you’re making your way toward me
And I don’t’ know what to do
So now I find myself running away
But there’s a little voice inside me saying

Go Back, ‘cause your beating heart tells you to
Go Back, ‘cause the mystery is killing you
Go Back, maybe you won’t have to be alone tonight, tonight
Go Back, cause your body’s aching for the dance
Go Back, cause you might not get a second chance
Go Back, there’s a difference between being proud and right

Well I’m a runnin’
Through this shady scene
And my heart is beating wildly
But I know it’s just a dream
And I’m certain
I can get myself free
So I force my eyes to open
But they’re still coming after me

And they’re tracking me down
See them all around
And the voices ringing loud and clear
Become deafening when I plug my ears
Gotta keep me away from myself

Now they’re all laughin’
And I feel the shame
But I’m screaming in the courtyard
Trying to save my soul again
And I’m certain
Your love will set me free
But I still savor these delusions
And bite the hand that’s feeding me

I woke up with the morning light and I found you by my side
I never felt so full of love, never felt so satisfied
You lie there breathing soft and sweet and your hand is on my cheek
You’re so beautiful and its music to me when you’re talking in your sleep
We were best of friends I was one of the guys but deep inside I wanted more
Would you see right through me or look on by when I stood at your front door?
You took me in and I saw in your eyes all that I hoped I’d see
And every breath every heartbeat told us just how good we could be

‘Cause you take me down where the stars are bright and you let my senses in
If I had died in your arms that night I would know where love had lived
I’m yours

The words you whisper they just roll through my head and rock me so sweetly to sleep
And the toll you’ve taken on my concentration is a warmly welcomed defeat
And all our friends are saying it’s about damn time that we opened up our eyes
Apparently you and me falling in love is just no big surprise

So God forgive me if I am rushing in
But I know an angel's eyes when I look at him
Life and time bring us so many unknowns
But all I want is to be at home and watch the sun
Go down with you, yeah with you

Three hundred miles
One hundred ten degrees
Mouth so dry
Only you can quench me

Drivin' on blindly
Delirious, relentlessly
I need you so desperately
Can't you feel my desert heat

Now I don't care
What tomorrow brings
Closin' in
Sanity's forsaken me

Drivin' on blindly
Delirious, relentlessly
I need you so desperately
Can't you feel my desert heat

The sun's gone down
The moon is high
Don't be afraid
Of what's inside
Night creatures call
To you and I
You can't resist
Don't try to fight

Fever broken
Senses return to me
But I'll be back again
When I am dying for the heat

Come a little closer baby
I can't hear you
Put your lips on my cheek baby
So I can feel you
I'm tired of all this talking
I'd like to see you walk right over here
Pucker up those sweet red lips of yours
Close your eyes, hold on tight and kiss me
Kiss me

You've been looking in my eyes
Just a little too deeply
I caught you staring at my legs
And then you smiled so sweetly
I've had it with this gawking
I'd like to see you walk right over here
Pucker up those sweet red lips of yours
Close your eyes, hold on tight and kiss me
Kiss me

He said, “Be patient love I’m just a man but I can change
And I’ll do it, do it all for you”
He said, “Let’s face it love you know nobody out there’s going to love,
Love you like I do”
But then the demons come
You see it in his eyes
I’ve seen in on your face
But he’ll apologize

But I’m sorry ought to mean “I won’t do it again”
You break after you bend my friend
You really think there’s a chance that you’ll get through?
History is a funny thing
You know what tomorrow brings
Running away is the bravest thing you can do

Your friends and family are left behind cause they don’t see
They don’t know him, know him like you do
Treats you with candle light and dozen long stem roses white
And his eyes, his eyes are deep sea blue
But in the depths you know
You’re never safe or sound
And you can’t save his soul
From six feet underground

Run, run, run, run, run away

Something's got a hold on me
I can't eat and I can't sleep
Tangled in this web I weave
I am begging for reprieve from this

Guilt in my stomach, on my back, and in my mind
Guilt keeps me holy, I'm repenting all the time
Guilt is like an ocean, I keep getting lost at sea
Guilt it's my burden, it is my necessity

That little voice inside my head
Should speak so I can hear instead
Wish that I could turn back time
And undo all the things that bind me to this

Guilt in my stomach, on my back, and in my mind
Guilt keeps me holy, I'm repenting all the time
Guilt is like an ocean, I keep getting lost at sea
Guilt it's my burden, it is my necessity

Wake up you're going through life with half-open eyes
Hear that voice inside, it's all been a compromise
Storm clouds rolling in and it's raining in your mind
Shake it, pack it up and leave your bags behind

So many things you say that you'd do differently
If you had the chance again, you might fuck it up royally
When the truths you tell yourself are all overused lies
Step back, pull it out and hold it up to the light

Time to take a stand

Are there ghosts in your heart, pounding and stealing time
Do they tumble through your body, rape you and pollute your mind
Well you let them in the door, you can kick them out
The devil keeps his company with fear, jealousy and doubt

Time to take a stand

So c'mon and dance with me, now's your chance to shine
Throw down these heavy things, spread your wings and fly
High above the clouds and trees, clarity comes to you
Get up, get out of the back seat, you know what to do

I'm not pretty or flashy
No one turns his head when I walk by
And I'm not bold or brassy
Never broke a heart or made sparks fly
And I've never been a rebel
Never roused the crowd to mutiny
But when the fanfare's over
You'll lay your weapons down, come running back to me

I'll be your rock, I'll be your harbor
You can lean on me
I'll be your true north, your wishing well
Lucky penny
I'll pick you up, I'll lay you down
And rock you to sleep
I'll be your nightengale, eye of the storm
Your gravity

I will silence voices of doubt insider your head
And I will chase away the monsters underneath your bed
But don't think all this comes to you without a price
For everything you ask of me I'll ask you twice

I'll be your rock, I'll be your harbor
You can lean on me
I'll be your true north, your wishing well
Lucky penny
I'll pick you up, I'll lay you down
And rock you to sleep
I'll be your nightengale, eye of the storm
Your gravity

Well I've never been to Rome
They say do as the Romans do, if ever I should go
Be cavalier and vogue
Mysterious and unrefined, act aloof and cold
Do everything you're told
They'll size you up and stare you down, keep their voices low
And I am sure they all will know
That I'm just a silly small-town girl with a locket and a suitcase full of hopes

This city shimmers like gold
And the stars they shine up from the earth, and heaven's bought and sold
All the colors bright and bold
They hypnotize behind my eyes in this life-sized kaleidoscope

I'm the keeper of me
With myself through it all
How much fun can this be?
Living life with your back against the wall
