Take Me As I Am
----------------------------
Baby don't turn out the light
I wanna see you look at me
Whisper only truth tonight
Not just promises and empty fantasies
I don't need a bed of roses
'Cause roses wither away
All I really need is honesty
From someone with a strong heart (strong heart), a gentle hand
Who'll take me as I am
Baby I need for you to know
Just exactly how I feel
Fiery passions come and go
I'd trade a million pretty words for one touch that is real
I don't need a bed of roses
'Cause roses wither away
All I really need is honesty
From someone with a strong heart (strong heart), a gentle hand
Who'll take me as I am
I don't need a bed of roses
'Cause roses wither away
All I really need is honesty
From someone with a strong heart (strong heart), a gentle hand
Who'll take me as I am
From someone with a strong heart (strong heart), a gentle hand
Who'll take me as I am
Wild One
--------------------
They said change your clothes
She said no I won't
They said comb your hair
She said some kids don't
And her parents' dreams went up in smoke
They said you can't leave
She said yes I will
They said don't see him
She said his name is Bill
She's on a roll and it's all uphill
She's a wild one
With an angel's face
She's a woman-child
In a state of grace
When she was three years old on her daddy's knee
He said you can be anything you want to be
She's a wild one runnin' free
She loves Rock and Roll
They said it's Satan's tongue
She thinks they're too old
They think she is too young
And the battle lines are clearly drawn
She's a wild one
With an angel's face
She's a woman-child
In a state of grace
When she was three years old on her daddy's knee
He said you can be anything you want to be
She's a wild one runnin' free
She has future plans and dreams at night
When they tell her life is hard she says that's all right
She's a wild one
With an angel's face
She's a woman-child
In a state of grace
When she was three years old on her daddy's knee
He said you can be anything you want to be
She's a wild one
With an angel's face
She's a woman-child
In a state of grace
When she was three years old on her daddy's knee
He said you can be anything you want to be
She's a wild one runnin' free
Piece Of My Heart
-------------------------------
Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man?
And didn't I give you everything that a woman possibly can?
Each time I tell myself I think I've had enough
Well, I'm gonna show you baby that a woman can be tough
So come on, come on, come on and
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Take another little piece of my heart
I know you will
Break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
'Cause you know you got it if it makes you feel good, so good
You're out on the street lookin' good baby
Deep down in your heart you know that it ain't right
No you'll never hear me cryin' you know I cry all the time
Each time I tell myself that I can't stand the pain
You hold me in your arms and I start singin' once again
So come on, come on, come on and
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Take another little piece of my heart
I know you will
Break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
'Cause you know you got it if it makes you feel good, so good
Each time I tell myself that I can't stand the pain
You hold me in your arms and I start singin' once again
So come on, come on, come on and
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Won't you just take it
Take another little piece of my heart
I know you will
And you will break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
'Cause you know you got it if it makes you feel good, so good
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Won't you just take it
Take another little piece of my heart
I know you will
And you will break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
Take another little piece of my heart, my heart, my heart, my heart, my heart
Take another little piece of my heart...
Someone Else's Dream
----------------------------------
Her momma's still got that sequin gown that she wore in '68
She taught her early how to smile that smile and wave from the parade
It took a whole lot of years and tears
For her momma to finally admit
No matter how many stiches and pins
That old dress was never gonna fit
She was daddy's little girl
Momma's little angel
Teacher's pet, pageant queen
She said, "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me,
Waking up in someone else's dream"
Her daddy used to say, "You'll make a lovely bride someday
He'll ride up on a big white horse and just carry you away"
It took twenty-five years and some broken vows
Before they'd finally see
There's a little more to love and life
Than fairy tales and hand me down dreams
She was daddy's little girl
Momma's little angel
Teacher's pet, pageant queen
She said, "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me,
Waking up in someone else's dream"
Now she's got twenty-seven candles on her cake
And she means to make her life her own
Before there's twenty-eight
She was daddy's little girl
Momma's little angel
Teacher's pet, pageant queen
She said, "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me,
Waking up in someone else"
She was daddy's little girl
Momma's little angel
Teacher's pet, Pageant queen
She said, "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me,
Waking up in someone else's someone else's dream"
Oh, in someone else's dream
Let's Go To Vegas
------------------------------
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Bet on love and let it ride
Lyin' on the bank of the river
Stars are dancin', Lord it's hot
Holdin' you is what I live for
I just had a crazy thought
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Bet on love and let it ride
We'll find a little wedding chapel
A pair of rings and a preacher too
Underneath the neon steeple
We'll take a gamble and say "I do"
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Bet on love and let it ride
Viva Las Vegas, sparklin' lights
Dangerous livin', tumblin' dice
You're my ace in the hole now honey
And I'm your lady luck
Pack a few things and a little money
And put 'em in the truck
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Bet on love and let it ride
Viva Las Vegas, sparklin' lights
Dangerous livin', tumblin' dice
You're my ace in the hole now honey
And I'm your lady luck
Pack a few things and a little money
And put 'em in the truck
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Kiss the single life good-bye

Kiss the single life good-bye
Hey baby, let's go to Vegas
Bet on love and let it ride
Bet on love and let it ride
Bet on love and let it ride
It Matters To Me
-------------------------------
Baby tell me where'd you ever learn
To fight without sayin' a word
Then waltz back into my life
Like it's all gonna be alright
Don't you know how much it hurts
When we don't talk
When we don't touch
When it doesn't feel like we're even in love
It matters to me
When I don't know what to say
Don't know what to do
Don't know if it really even matters to you
How can I make you see
It matters to me
Maybe I still don't understand
The distance between a woman and a man
So tell me how far it is
And how you can love like this
'Cause I'm not sure I can
When we don't talk
When we don't touch
When it doesn't feel like we're even in love
It matters to me
When I don't know what to say
Don't know what to do
Don't know if it really even matters to you
How can I make you see
It matters to me
Oh and I don't know what to say
Don't know what to do
Don't know if it really even matters to you
How can I make you see
Oh it matters to me
Oh it matters to me
It matters to me
Bed Of Roses
------------------------
There's something 'bout you manner
That makes it hard to see
Just how you take advantage
Of a workin' girl like me
I've seen you set 'em up
And I've seen you take 'em down
Our love is legal tender
For your kind to pass around
Don't want your bed of roses
Don't want no handful of thorns
Don't want to be your livin' doll
Don't want to be no woman scorned
Well I don't want to watch you turn the page
When our chapter closes
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
In your bed of roses
I've tasted good and bad love
In the honky-tonks and bars
I've settled for the moon
When I was reachin' for the stars
And though sometimes I have stumbled
I've been known to fall
It was always true love
That took me to the wall
Don't want your bed of roses
Don't want no handful of thorns
Don't want to be your livin' doll
Don't want to be no woman scorned
Well I don't want to watch you turn the page
When our chapter closes
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
In your bed of roses
(Girl, you better hide your love away
Girl, you better save it for another day)
Don't want your bed of roses
Don't want no handful of thorns
Don't want to be your livin' doll
Don't want to be no woman scorned
Well I don't want to watch you turn the page
When our chapter closes
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
In your bed of roses
Don't want no handful of thorns
Don't want to be your livin' doll
Don't want to be no woman scorned
Well I don't want to watch you turn the page
When our chapter closes
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
In your bed of roses
You Can't Lose Me
----------------------------------
A little girl, a little small for her age
A little too slow for the field day race
Momma's waiting at the finish line
And wipes the teardrops from her eyes
She says, "You did just fine honey, that's okay
Sometimes life's just that way
You're gonna lose the race from time to time
But you're always gonna find
You can't lose me
Bet your life
I am here and I will always be
Just a wish away
Wherever you go
No matter how far
My love is where you are
You won't be lost if you believe
You can't lose me"
Momma used to say, "Girl it won't be long
'Til it's time to go out on your own
Chase your dreams, find your place in life
I know you'll do just fine"
When that day finally came
There were things she needed to but could not say
So I whispered softly as I wiped
The tears from Momma's eyes
You can't lose me
Bet your life
I am here and I will always be
Just a wish away
Wherever I go
No matter how far
My love is where you are
You won't be lost if you believe
You can't lose me
Wherever I go
No matter how far
My love is where you are
You won't be lost if you believe
You can't lose me
No, you can't lose me
Wherever I go
(No matter how far)
My love is where you are
You can't lose me
No, you can't lose me
I Can't Do That Anymore
--------------------------------------
Cut my hair the way you wanted
Watched you become important
Quit my job to make our new home far away
Now you're Mr. Successful and I'm queen of the treadmill
Trying to stay the size you think that I should stay
I used to dream about what I would be
Last night I dreamed about a washing machine
I keep on givin'
But I can't stop livin'
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I don't like dependin'
I keep right on pretendin'
But I can't do that anymore
Now you say I'm being silly
But you don't know me really
You never take the time to ask me how I feel
I keep the check book balanced
I decorate your palace
You know I used to think that you were king
Somewhere down deep I know you really love me
But you can't see that what we have's not all I need
I keep on givin'
But I can't stop livin'
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I don't like dependin'
I keep right on pretendin'
But I can't do that anymore
You try to tell me I'm not being fair to you
But life's too short for a selfish attitude
I keep on givin'
But I can't stop livin'
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I don't like dependin'
I keep right on pretendin'
But I can't do that anymore
No, I can't do that anymore
This Kiss
---------------
I don't want another heartbreak
I don't need another turn to cry no
I don't want to learn the hard way
Baby hello,oh no, goodbye
But you got me like a rocket
Shooting straight across the sky
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's (ah) impossible
This kiss, this kiss... unstoppable
This kiss, this kiss
Cinderella said to Snow White
How does love get so off course oh
All I wanted was a white knight
With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse
Ride me off into the sunset
Baby, I'm forever yours
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's (ah) unthinkable
This kiss, this kiss... unsinkable
This kiss, this kiss
You can kiss me in the moonlight
On the rooftop under the sky oh
You can kiss me with the windows open
While rain comes pouring inside oh
Kiss me in sweet slow motion
Let's let everything slide
You got me floating you got me flying
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's (ah) subliminal
This kiss, this kiss... it's criminal
This kiss, this kiss
It's the way you love me baby
It's the way you love me darlin'
It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's (ah) subliminal
This kiss, this kiss... it's criminal
This kiss, this kiss
It's the way you love me baby
It's the way you love me darlin'
Let Me Let Go
------------------------
I thought it was over baby
We said our goodbyes
But I can't go a day without your face
Goin' through my mind
In fact not a single minute
Passes without you in it
Your voice, your touch, memories of your love
Are with me all the time
Let me let go, baby
Let me let go
If this is for the best, why are you still in my heart
Are you still in my soul, let me let go
I talked to you the other day
Looks like you made your escape
You put us behind, no matter how I try
I can't do the same
Let me let go, baby
Let me let go
It just isn't right, I've been two thousand miles
Down a dead-end road
Let me let go, darlin', won't you
I just gotta know, yeah
If this is for the best, why are you still in my heart
Are you still in my soul, let me let go
The lights of this strange city are shinin'
But they don't hold no fascination for me
I try to find the bright side baby
But everywhere I look, everywhere I turn, you're all I see
Let me, let me let go, baby
Let me let go
It just isn't right, I've been two thousand miles
Down a dead-end road
Oh, let me let go, darlin', won't you
I just gotta know
If this is for the best, why are you still in my heart
Yeah you still in my soul, let me let go
Let me let go, let me let go
Love Ain't Like That
---------------------------------
You can't buy it at the store
Try it on for size
Then bring it back if it don't feel right
No love, love ain't like that
You can't trade it in
Like an automobile
That's got too many miles an' rust on the wheels
No love, love ain't like that
Love ain't that easy to define
You can't build it by design
It takes it's own sweet time
It don't fall from the sky
Like a tiny drop of rain
That hits you right between the eyes one day
No love, love ain't like that
You can't put your money down
An' just roll the dice
Think you're gonna win it all some night
No love, love ain't like that (love)
Love ain't that easy to define
You can't build it by design
It takes it's own sweet time
You can't buy it at the store
Try it on for size
Bring it back if it don't feel right
No love, love ain't like that
Love no love love love
It ain't like that
You can't trade it in
Like an automobile
Too many miles an' rust on the wheels
No love, no love no it ain't like that...
The Secret Of Life
------------------------------
Couple of guys sittin' around drinkin'
Down at the Starlight Bar
One of 'em says you know I've been thinking
Other one says, that won't get you too far
He says, this your life and welcome to it
It's just workin' and drinkin' and dreams
Ad on TV says "Just do it"
Hell if I know what that means
The secret of life is a good cup of coffee
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball
The secret of life is a beautiful woman
And Marilyn stares down from the barroom wall
You and me we're just a couple of zeros
Just a couple of down-and-outs
But movie stars and football heros
What have they got to be unhappy about?
So they turn to the bartender, "Sam, what do you think?
What's the key that unlocks that door?"
Sam don't say nothin' just wipes off the bar
And he pours them a couple more
'Cause the secret of life is in Sam's martinis
The secret of life is in Marilyn's eyes
The secret of life is in Monday night football
Rooling Stones records and mom's apple pies
Sam looks up from his Sunday paper
Says, boys you're on the wrong track
The secret of life is there ain't no secret
And you don't get your money back hey
The secret of life is gettin' up early
The secret of life is stayin' up late
The secret of life is try not to hurry
But don't wait...don't wait
The secret of life is a good cup of coffee
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball
The secret of life is to find the right woman
The secret of life is nothin' at all oh it's nothin' at all
The secret of life
Couple of guys sittin' around drinkin'
Down at the Starlight Bar
One of 'em says you know I've been thinkin'
Other one says, that won't get you too far
That won't get you too far
Just To Hear You Say That You Love Me (with Tim McGraw)
------------------------------------------------
If I could win your heart
You'd let me in your heart
I'd be so happy baby
Just for these arms to be
Holding you close to me
There's nothing in this world I won't try

Me
-------------
I've changed my hair, my clothes, almost
Everything about myself
I can't believe I tried to be somebody I'm not
For someone else, yeah
It took finding you to finally understand
What it's like to be loved for who I am
Me, that's all I have to give
What you get is what you see, yeah
No second guessing, no pretending
With you, all I ever have to be is me
I can laugh or cry, don't have to hide
The way I feel
Rain or shine, by my side proving we've got
A love that's real
An old pair of jeans or an evening gown
You still see the same girl that you found
Me, that's all I have to give
What you get is what you see, yeah
No second guessing, no pretending
With you, all I ever have to be is me
Me, that's all I have to give
What you get is what you see, yeah
No second guessing, no pretending
With you, all I ever have to be is me
All I ever need to be, yeah
All I ever have to be is me
I Love You
--------------------
I must be crazy now
Maybe I dream too much
But when I think of you
I long to feel your touch
To whisper in your ear
Words that are old as time
Words only you would hear
If only you were mine
I wish I could go back to the very first day I saw you
Sould've made my move when you looked in my eyes
'Cause by now I know that you'd feel the way that I do
And you'd whisper these words as you'd lie here by my side
I love you, please say you love me too
These three words, they could change our lives forever
And I promise you that we will always be together
'Til the end of time
So today I finally find the courage deep inside
Just to walk right up to your door
But my body can't move when I finally get to do it
Like a thousand times before
Then without a word you handed me this letter
Read I hope this finds the way into your heart, it said
I love you, please say you love me too
'Til the end of time
Well maybe I, I need a little love (yeah)
Maybe I, I need a little care
Maybeb you, maybe you need somebody just to hold you
If you do, just reach out, I'll be there
I love you, please say you love me
These three words, they could change our lives forever
And I promise you that we will always be together
Oh, I love you, please say you love me
Please say you love me too
'Til the end of time
Oh baby, my baby, together, forever
I love you
I will be your light, shining through your eyes
