Make up your mind take me or leave me
I'll be doing fine with or without you
I'm wasting my time letting you deceive me
The truth is in your eyes but I deny what I see
Time and time again

I let you get back under my skin
I let you break me down again
I let you get close way too close
But I see through it

You gave me that smile and I gave in
And you knew that I would
Time and time again you pulled me in
Just to give me up, give me up again

What is a dream if it doesn't come true
I believe I'll find love but will it be with you
I never would have thought that such a pretty little face could
Offer me so much and take all that I had
Well I want it back

I let you get back under my skin
I let you break me down again
I let you in close way too close
But I see through it

You gave me that smile and I gave in
And you knew that I would
Time and time again you pulled me in
Just to give me up, give me up again

I let you get back under my skin
I let you break me down again
I let you in close way too close
But I see through it

You gave me that smile and I gave in
And you knew that I would
Time and time again you pulled me in
Just to give me up, give me up again

Time and time again you pulled me in
Just to give me up, give me up, give me up again

You sing a song
While sitting at a red light
You think of home
While sitting at a red light

Too slow to roll
Put your life on hold
An open path
With nowhere to go
You start to wonder
While sitting at a red light

You can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life

A chance to breathe
While sitting at a red light
You look around
Reflecting on your life

A chance to think
Am I drinking too much
Should I keep going
Lose the life that I love
A second glance
When coming to a red light

You can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life

You can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When you're running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life

When things look low
You've gotta keep strong
Feet to the grass
You've gotta walk it off
The bows been tied
Too tight to laugh
Feet to the ground
You've gotta walk it off

You can run a red light
You can run a red light

Start to think
Am I drinking too much
Should I keep going
Lose the life that I love

You can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life

You can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life

You can run a red light
You can run a red light

You sing a song
While sitting at a red light

Father, father speaking out
Wants to tell you what it's all about
But you don't listen, you don't care
No one tells you what to do around here

Got your girl, and it's all good
You're so tired of being misunderstood
You'd love to get him off your back
You just want him to cut you some slack
You said "He don't know where I'm at", yeah

Get what you give, don't you know, don't you know
You get what you give
That's right, that's right
That's how it is, don't you know, don't you know
You get what you give

Lost the key that locks your room
And momma's gonna be home soon
Guess this means you have to lie
You ain't got no other alibi

Get what you give, don't you know, don't you know
You get what you give
That's right, that's right
That's how it is, don't you know, don't you know
You get what you give
(What you give, is what you get)

Tell your daddy you'll be fine
Not to worry you'll get by
Grow your hair and change your name
Pack your bags and run away

Get what you give, don't you know, don't you know
You get what you give
That's right, that's right
That's how it is, don't you know, don't you know
You get what you give

Get what you give, don't you know, don't you know
You get what you give
That's right, that's right
That's how it is, don't you know, don't you know
You get what you give

She said hey hello there
As her eyes were dancing all around me
She told me her name sweetly
It felt like I knew her like I never knew someone before
Well I found her now I can stop holding my breath
I tell all my friends over and over again

I said there ain't no woman like the one I got
Yes I know, yes I know
I said there ain't no woman like the one I got
Yes I know, yes I know

Whatever you need just tell me
And I'll do all I can to please you
Yes I don't mind where you lead me
'Cause everywhere you go girl is everywhere I want to be
Oh I never felt so high
It feels real for the very first time

'Cause there ain't no woman like the one I got
Yes I know, yes I know
I said there ain't no woman like the one I got
Yes I know, yes I know

There was a time when my heart was drgging on the floor
And I thank God for the day that I saw your face and you
smiled at me
And you took my hand and you stole my heart away

I lost all my friends
'Cause I ain't got time for them

Because there ain't no woman like the one I got
Yes I know, yes I know
Because there ain't no feeling like the one I got
Yes I know, yes I know
Ain't no woman like the one I got
There ain't no woman like the one I got

When I was only just a friend to you
All I wanted to do was get to know you better
Now I wanna give my heart to you
Tell me do you feel like I do when we're together

Cause I come alive with your touch
Your touch it always sets me free
I can't get quite enough
Too much of you is what I need
Yes I know you're the one
Cause love has come alive in me

Tell me am I out of line
Tell me if I'm wasting time, I don't mind
Giving my love to you
I can't help it baby
If I asked would you say I do

Cause I come alive with your touch
Your touch it always sets me free
I can't get quite enough
Too much of you is what I need
Yes I know you're the one
Cause love has come alive in me yeah

Tell me why do I always have to tell you how I feel
Can't you see you're the one, the only thing
That ever meant something to me
And I need your touch
To come alive

(I come alive, I come alive, I come alive)
Nothing else like the way you make me come alive

I gave my word, I made a promise
And I'm gonna keep it till the end
What would I do, if I lost it
There's nothing better than what we have

Somehow in my mind
Always knew I'd find my

Beautiful one, Beautiful child, my everything
Beautiful one, Beautiful child

So much you give so much to live for
And I wanna give it all back to you
And if it means pouring my heart out
To show you I love you, then I will

Beautiful one, Beautiful child, my everything
Beautiful one, Beautiful child

To be the one to call you mine
To feel the way I do inside
You're so much more than I ever dreamed
This is forever I believe

Beautiful one, Beautiful child, my everything
Beautiful one, Beautiful child,
I know you're the one I need
Beautiful one, Beautiful child

We walked away before we said goodbye
That ain't right baby
I always thought we'd stand the test of time
I was wrong baby

When the lights in the house all go out
I get lonely, how bout you
Every time the phone rings I hope it's you calling
We could work it out
Forget this all somehow
Start over again

It's our love on the line
We should try baby try
I know we can make it
If we both take a chance
If we can try baby try
'Cause we've got too much to lose

Too many days without your smiling face
I can't take it
I pretend that I'm feeling fine
But I'm fakin'

Words just can't describe
Honey how I'm feeling inside
Got to remember

It's our love on the line
We should try baby try
I know we can make it
If we both take a chance
If we can try baby try
'Cause we've got too much to lose

Every day that goes by
I wish I could somehow get you to understand
I figure if you remember how good we were together
That you'll want to be with me again
(We've got to try, we've got to try)

It's our love on the line
We should try baby try
I know we can make it
If we both take a chance
If we can try baby try

You've got to remember I love you
We should try baby try
Baby don't forget
It's our love on the line
So we should try
(We've got to try, we've got to try)

There's a letter on the table
I've never seen it there before
I don't have to read it
'Cause I already know

It's been a long time coming
And I've been awake for days
I know we can make it
But things have got to change

Your words say it's hopeless
But I know there's more between the lines

Goodbye
Is this how you want it
I'll leave but I don't wanna go
And I'll wait but I can't wait forever
For you to say goodbye

Well maybe I'm just dreaming
But I know dreams come true
And I'm still here believing
That God made me for you

If we could just start over
Get back where we began
We're better off together
It doesn't have to end

Goodbye
Is this how you want it
I'll leave but I don't wanna go
And I'll wait but I can't wait forever
For you to say goodbye

Goodbye
Is this how you want it
I'll leave but I don't wanna go
And I'll wait but I can't wait forever
For you to say goodbye
(Oh, goodbye)

You got a secret under the table
Nobody knows it but you
Never a problem here on the outside
You're good at disguising the truth

After you wake up out of the nightmare
How do you cast out the fear inside

[chorus]
All alone there you stand
Reaching out for someone's hand come with me if you wanna save yourself

Where is the good life you always dreamed of
Where is the faith you once had
Sooner or later hope will be useless
Pushing you back where you began

All alone there you stand
Wont you let me take your hand
Come with me if you wanna save yourself
Don't let the past haunt your mind
You should leave it all behind
Come with me if you wanna save yourself

There's somethign in the way
Its gotten into you
You've learned to love the chains
Through the needles eye can you escape

All alone there you stand
Wont you let me take your hand
Come with me if you wanna save yourself
Trust your heart not your mind
Cause your running out of time
Come with me  if you wanna save yourself

Id been sleeping way to long
Searched for the answers but,
Couldn't find one
Thought I had it under control
Yeah I was dying and I didn't even know

[chorus]
I needed something
You showed me how to love again
How to love again
When I had nothing
You showed me how to love again
How to love again

No more crying no more fear
I've found a way out after all of these years
No mistaking, I've been changed
Now and forever ill never be the same

Because when I had nothing
You showed me how to love again
How to love again
I needed something
You showed me how to love again
How to love again

Don't wanna go back
Don't wanna go through that misery
I love where I'm at
Wherever you are I want to be
You're all I need

[chorus]

A thousand people here but I'm alone
My only friend is my dads radio
Seventeen feels like I'm thirty-four
How do I get myself up off the floor
I need a cure

[chorus 1]
Happiness and misery
I'm up and down so confused
I want to scream
But there's nobody listening

[chorus 2]
Stop the war inside of me
Pull the plug, kill the lights
I cant break free
Its happiness or misery

I wish the clouds would all come out today
Send the rain and wash it all away
Am I going crazy I don't know
I wonder will anybody miss me if I go

[chorus 1]

[chorus 2]

Happiness ad misery
Im up and down so confused
I want to scream

[chorus 2]

Try every single day
I know you're worth the wait
Am I getting closer or further away
Somewhere behind you're eyes
I know my answer lies
But you wont release it
I wish you would try
To open up and let me see inside

[chorus]
Down deep in your heart I want to be
Down where you hide your love for me
Cause I've got to go, I've got to be
Let me inside down where
You hide your love for me

Round and round we go, circles all I know
Deeper and deeper, endless and slow
Everywhere I turn the same old lesson learned
Over and over I just get burned, so bring me

[chorus]

No, there's nothing you can say
That's ever gonna make me change
Ill always feel this way

Down deep in your heart I want to be
Down where you hide your love for me
Cause I've got to go, I've got to be
Down where you hide your love for me

You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion
By some people who withdraw to find their head
And they say there's no humor in misfortune
No, I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead

[chorus]
Why am I fighting to live
If I'm just living to fight
Why am I trying to see
When there ain't nothing in sight
Why am I trying to give
When no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live
If I'm just living to die

You know some people say that values are subjective
But they're just speaking words
That someone else has said
And so they live and fight and kill with no objective
Sometimes its hard to tell the living from the dead

[chorus]

You know I used to weave
My words into confusion
And so I hope you'll understand me
When I'm through
You know I used to live my life as an illusion
But reality will make my dream come true

So ill keep fighting to live
Till there's no reason to fight
And ill keep trying to see
Until the end is in sight
You know I'm trying to give
So come on
Give me a try
You know I'm dying to live
Until I'm ready to die

Yeah, its been a long time coming
Never thought it'd take so long
I stood still but time kept running
Time has made me strong

Yeah, I've been waiting
Waiting for this day to come
Time don't wait so I keep singing

Yeah, its been a long time coming
Never thought it'd take so long
I stood still and time kept running
Time has made me strong
Made me strong, made me strong
Time has made me strong

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi, surrounded by four walls that ain't so
pretty.
His parents give him love and affection to keep him strong moving in the right
direction,
living just enough, just enough for the city.

His father works some days for fourteen hours and you can bet he barely makes a
dollar.
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many and you'd best believe she hardly
gets a penny.
Living just enough, just enough for the city.

His sister's black but she is sure 'nuff pretty, her skirt is short but Lord,
her legs are sturdy.
To walk to school she's got to get up early. Her clothes are old but never are
they dirty.
Living just enough, just enough for the city.

Her brother's smart, he's got more sense than many.
His patience's long but soon he won't have any.
To find a job is like a haystack needle cause where he lives, they don't use
colored people.
Living just enough, just enough for the city.

Living just enough for the city. Ain't nothing but a pity.

His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty,
he spends his life walking the streets of New York City.
He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution. He tried to vote, but to him
there's no solution
Living just enough, just enough for the city.

I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow and that it motivates you to make a
better tomorrow.
This place is cruel, no where could be much colder.
If we don't change, the world will soon be over.
Living just enough, stop giving just enough for the city.
