What did you think when you gave that cat a call? Did you think it'd make me want you? Did you think it'd turn me on at all? Well that's exactly what it did not do Or did you think that I'd be so hypocritical As to have this gift and not use it to be pol...

Ain't I the jezebel? Ain't I the queen? Been from here to hell and every stop in between! Ain't I better now? Ain't it the best? I got this scarlet red letter that I flaunt on my chest, And be careful how you treat me 'cause what I think, I tend to man...

I danced with beautiful. Lived with her for a while. She was so damn simple. Like the color of a smile. I thought we were beautiful. At least we mirrored that way. But we got too complicated. And beautiful just couldn't stay. I thought I saw her on a...

So I'm moving out of nothing town, the spirit's restless inside of me. I'm tired of working in my family's grocery. They say there's much I've yet to see. See my mother had the soul of a storyteller. And she passed those demons down to her daughter's head....

Baby, I've been waiting, waiting so long for you Lately, don't even know myself, who I've been turning to One look and I was gone and tattered, left forever changed. Never knew that I could love somebody, out of my head this way. And I can't stop, you're...

Turn down the lights. Pour the last drink of the night. Try to drown out the pain, but it won't drain a thing. If it's half full or half empty, it's still half just the same. I think it's time, a good time to cry. Let it all go, a good time to cry. Whe...

Sometimes I don't like it But that don't mean I don't love it Sometimes I get down so low But that don't mean I can't rise above it Sometimes it's the vast unknown As far as I can see And sometimes it feels like I'm touching everything And everything is...

I'd take a picture of my life and offer it with open hand. To anyone who'd ask me to show. But they won't ask and anyway they wouldn't understand. So turn out the lights before it's over-exposed. They want to know. Well it's love song dedications on the...

Saw them holding hands, knew he was a married man. Did she forget the ring on her own finger? His wife has a baby on the way, friends all said he had it made. He gave it all up for a hussy country singer. It's on every dot com so it must be true. The inte...

Stood there rolling, sweating in the sun. Felt like a million, felt like number one. Had a summer, never felt that strong, like a rock. I was eighteen, didn't have a care. Working for peanuts, not a dime to spare. But I was lean, solid everywhere, like a...

An old bum pushes a shopping cart that he stole from Winn Dixie parking lot. It's 1:00am and I'm on my way home. I left there before it came to shouts, just in time to see him spit his apple out. Left your door and made a beeline for my own. I tell yo...

Wait a minute mister, I think it might be best, Cause the way you look sure seems to suggest the slightest bit of interest, I should come with a warning. See the majority of my life I've been in rare form, You know a couple of steps below the norm. But...

She laughs when she thinks her whole life could fit in her car. And she could drive it wherever she wanted. But she knows that she will never get that far. This suffering's hers and she will flaunt it right in their face in that place where they condemn her...

Nobody would've ever thought, nobody should've ever guessed that I would open my mouth and fire would breathe from my chest "Now isn't she the girl that's all daisy and clover? She's so easy to work with. She's so easy to push over." And I will open up m...

Sometimes I get so still it makes me dizzy. I end my solo moonlight dance and bow out gracefully. Sometimes I still let you play the prophet in my head, as I play back the words you said. So in my mind I can go back in time and tell you, you were wrong....

Who is this angel, sent here to change me, sent here to take me where I've never been? Long I have wandered, weary and waiting, for something to shake me and laugh to begin. Holy water from my own veins, come and save me where I lay. All this longing for...

Early morning, you're still sleeping. The silence is singing and it's got me to thinking of so many love songs, so many love songs, but this one's for you. Won't be the last one, sure ain't the first to fall for someone and try to put in words. They're s...
