Mad Girl

Why you so mad girl?
You got to figure out how you work
Why you so mad, girl?
You got to find out what it’s worth
I know there’s things that keep you up all night
While you’re thinkin’ ‘bout sleepin’ but the dreamin’ is a
keepin’ you wonderin’ if you’re doing what’s right
And when you come back to reality
You will find you are the biggest bitch until that coffee and cream
Let me ask you one more time what I’ve been wonderin’ about
CHORUS
You’re blunt, you’re straight
Some find you sexy sassy
Sometimes you’re top shelf trash ‘cause a lady always keeps it classy
And your walls are high
No blow too low
But if you took them down baby you wouldn’t be flyin’ solo
See I’m just tryin’ to understand what you’re so mad about
Won’t you tell me baby
It seems to me
That you’re angry baby and you believe that the world
Isn’t true, life isn’t fair
It’s all against you
CHORUS

Covet Me
04:01
|
|||
Covet me, coveting you
You know that’s exactly what you want me to do
And you know with every breath that I take
I’ll take the blame for all your mistakes
Covet me, coveting you
You know that’s exactly where you want me to be
And you know with every touch of my skin
We’ll be in line to begin again
Hide my love in the closet
Or in the same place where your hands fit in my jeans
Leave your baggage on my doorstep
Cuz honey you know your secrets are safe with me
CHORUS
I’m an open book feel free to thumb, leaf, or follow
What you’re looking for you will find between the binds
But beware these binds will tie to tomorrow
And you don’t wanna be stuck with something you despise
CHORUS
Covet me, yeah baby covet me coveting you

Waitin'
03:31
|
|||
I’ve been waiting
Waiting for you to see
What you’re doing
Doin to my life and me
I’ve been waitin, waitin, waiting
For you to realize
I can’t handle any more lies
I been talking
Talking ‘bout what you mean
And if you’re worth it, worth all the trouble that I’ve seen
See I’ve been tryin, tryin, tryin
To make myself realize
That maybe baby everything you’ve told me are lies
See I’ve been patient waiting darling
Waiting for you to figure shit out
And I’ve handed you every code that I have
For telling you what I’m all about
CHORUS
See my mother
And my father
And my sister and my shrink
Well they love you or they hate you and nothing in between
Cuz they don’t know what I want or how it’s gonna be
If you just can’t stop telling those lies
Don’t it make you tired baby
Tired of keeping each story straight
Cuz I know I’m tired baby
I been tired since the first date
So now we’re talking
Talking ‘bout what this means
And are you worth it?
Worth all the trouble that you bring
Cuz I’m tired, tired of waiting
For you to realize
That I can’t handle any more lies
Baby I’m gone if I hear even one more lie

Loving The Water
05:20
|
|||
It’s like loving the water You can’t hold on
Not for much longer if you’re not strong
The tides keep on shifting so hot and cold
But without rhythm by which to go
You’re like loving the water
Ten years ago I thought I’d known
All of the pain that awaited this home
I never knew worse could be true
That the water in waves would come rushing through
Through windows and walls and photos lining halls
If nothing stays and nothing stands
If nothing can be saved
If what I hold dear are memories and tears
The walls come down the crashing sound of water in my ears
CHORUS
There’s no calm in tears just more water feeding fears
The glassy top, alluring stop
Look down into the clear
At what lies below, breathing down and down we go
Then the layers break, the surface quakes
A sudden undertow
It’s like loving the water something so strange
Like calming an ocean or kissing the rain
Like loving the water waiting on the shore
Hoping the storm dies the same as before
Like loving the water and you can’t hold on
Not for much longer if you’re not strong
Loving the water waiting on the shore
Hoping the storm dies the same as before
You’re like loving the water

They Say
06:19
|
|||
They say I’ve loved too many men, well what do I know
They say I should know the seasons change, well wouldn’t I go
And if you were to come back down they say it would snow
But they say so many things
And when the snow came down upon face then I turned around in this empty place
And it was then and there I realized to my dismay that they say too many things
I say, if loneliness is a cross to bear my patience makes it weight unfair
so I look to love
As in any tragic masterpiece
the pain is what delivers peace
so there’s pleasure in every cut
They say this choice is up to me but it’s not my own
They say I’m wrong and that I’ll see this web I wove
Met with silence I agree and my faith is thrown
because they say so many things
It’s true that challenge has a price and for that I’ll pay
It seems complication my only vice any given day
But for curiosity if I could stay away
They wouldn’t say so many things
I say, maybe trouble watches over me and all the things I do not see
but at least it cares
And misfortune comes and goes, you see, but when she’s tired and needs room to breathe
Then that’s when I’ll find relief
He says these tears they make me weak how would he know
He’s never cried he’s never seen how deep we go
For when we’re strong is when we feel and the feelings show
How dare he say anything
They say you have the face of angel child and so you’ll be alone at least for a while
They say it to be cruel not kind, and jealousy idles
I know their game and so I sing
If hope is the worst drug of all let addiction find me where I fall and I will not fight
If sensitivity is my enemy then I surrender on both knees and I wear my heart on my sleeve
They say I love too openly well what do they know
They say I’m young and wild and free then let it be so
I say I see more of life than they’ll ever know
So let them say anything

She
05:46
|
|||
You know she thinks that there's something wrong
Always knew that she don't belong
Lord knows she tried to understand it ‘til she realized it's them can't handle it
You know she questions what she's worth
Always knew that love would hurt
What if she finds out that she can have it
If she'd just reach right out and grab it
She's the only one
She's got to know where she comes from
She's got to make it on her own
When she's the only one who know
They always want one piece of her
Something to own, something to conquer
They take her hair, her skin, her smell
Ignore her sounds in this moment of hell
So many take what isn't theirs
And she can't hide even when she's scared
How many walk with weights of past
How long do those feelings last
CHORUS
Hold her down so she can't fly
Keep her close so she won't know why
If she knows the way to lovin' her own self
She won't need any other help
Baby girls around the world
All those young hearts, those minds, those curls
So many doubts, so many fears
that come as whispers in their ears
What will it take to make things fair
How much pride and how much care
To teach them love, to teach them gladness
To spare their souls from so much sadness
CHORUS
We've got to change the things she knows

Jackie's Song
04:52
|
|||
All the times you sat and you cried
you thought they were there
thought they would care
And all the days that passed while you died
thought you were mine, thought we were fine
You’ve been wrong before
Turns out you’re the only one who cares
Turns out sometimes life ain’t always fair
Turns out when it rains it really pours
Turns out it isn’t enough just to say I’m yours
You’ve got these few
you can call your own
You’ve got these times
to them they’ll be unknown
You’ve got these places
you’ll go now and then
When you’ve got things to do
and you’ll live again
Without being yours
CHORUS
There’s a strength
and a courage too
It comes from losing one
or maybe even two
And when you’re feeling down
and like the world is blue
Just remember who is there for you
It may seem hard
it may seem cruel
it may seem like they don’t care for you
but in the bitter end
you’ll know what’s true
you’ve got these few
When it turned out you were the only one who cared
And you learned the hard way, life don’t always play fair
You found out you’ve got a roof when the rain starts to pour,
And although it hurts, turned out the luck was really yours

One Night
04:03
|
|||
Thursday morning nine a.m. and the sun is coming through
And the last thing you remember was a bottle of red
Well there were friendly faces only some of which you knew
But it didn’t matter after having a few ‘cause there was
One night of passion, there was one night of drunken pain
And there’s one day to make it better ‘til the next when we do it just the same
But for all the nights and days we have there’s only one time to be young
If we’re gonna do this up then now’s the time to have our fun
21 and ready for the world with a heart of gold
In the meantime why not settle for the stud with the magnetic hold
What bad can come of this if we say it’s all in fun, right?
I’m sure there’s a lesson learned I’m just not sure which one.
CHORUS
One day you’ll wake up and it’ll seem like such a waste
But the truth is there’s no one who has not been in this place
Let me tell you a secret one I’m wise enough to share
Without these days and nights good stories would be rare
CHORUS

Real Love
05:12
|
|||
Will you take my hand?
Will you love me even when you can’t?
If I took a stand you know you don’t have to stand behind me
All I ever wanted was someone like you
All I ever needed, darling, was you
I don’t have to like the words you use to call me “love”
I just need to know as much is true, wouldn’t you
Tell me now the ones you like to say
Tell me now in your own way
Thirty years will come and go
And the days will pass as we grow old
And time brings tests along the way
Promise me you’ll remember this day as it was
And the you’ll take my hand
And love me the way I know youc an
Then you’ll dance with me ‘cause sometimes life don’t always sweep us off our feet
All I ever wanted was someone like you
All I’ll ever need, baby, is you
