I'd Lie
I don't think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
And I count the colors in his eyes
He'll never fall in love
He swears, as he runs his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong
And I don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
But I know all his favorite songs
And I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He likes to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him...
I'd lie
He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on
Doesn't he know
That I've had him memorized for so long
He sees everything in black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine
I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He likes to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him...
I'd lie
He stands there, then walks away
My God, if I could only say
I'm holding every breath for you
He'd never tell you,
But he can play guitar
I think he can see through
Everything but my heart
First thought when I wake up is
My God, he's beautiful
So I put on my make-up
And pray for a miracle
Yes I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He likes to argue
Oh, and it kills me
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him...
If you ask me if I love him...
I'd lie
If You Don't Wanna Love Me
Chorus:
If you don't wanna love me, then I'll find somebody else who will
Find another kinda thrill, find another way to fill this loneliness (repeat)
A married couple with kids and a family pet
He takes for granted that it's all good and things are set
But she feels no passion in their romance
It's been a year since they had their last slow dance
Even worse her husband treats her like an ornament
Every other week the kids have a tournament
A team meeting or somewhere they've gotta be
But her heart's screamin' hey! What about me?! Unbeknownst, another hound is in the chicken coup
And he's makin' moves like a player to the hoop
She met at the gym, or was it at the grocery?
It doesn't matter 'cause you know where it's goin' B!
'Cause last year, her Mister got caught cheatin' So she figures that this is gonna make 'em even
He thought she'd wait like all the times before
Until he found the note she left for him hanging on the door
It read:
(Repeat Chorus)
She's sixteen, callin' home to her mama
Afraid to talk 'cause she's scared of all the noise and drama
She's been gone for a week and a half
All she wants is something to eat and a nap
'Cause she's a runaway
Sleepin' under bridges and sleepin' in alleyways
Afraid to go to the shelter so at night she prays
That hopefully she's gonna see some better days
Meanwhile Mom and Dad are really frantic
When they saw her clothes were gone, you know they really panicked
Thoughts in their minds did she run to the border? Or even worse, will she be a case on "Law and Order"!
The silence in her room screams of not feelin' wanted
Of not being good enough it almost seems haunted
All her pain soon will be known
When she leaves her mom and dad a message after the tone
And says:
(Repeat Chorus)
If you really wanna know me
I guess you better show me
Is it real or is it phony
Just love me or leave me alone
Love Story
We were both young when I first saw you
I closed my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, please don't go
And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes
So, I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
Oh oh
Cause you were Romeo, I was the scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
But you were my everything to me
I was begging you, please don't go
And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes
Romeo, save me
They try to tell me how I feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes
Oh oh
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo, save me
I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head
I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad
Go pick out a white dress
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
Skater Boy
He was a boy she was a girl,
Can I make it anymore obvious
He was a punk
she did ballet
What more can I say
He wanted her, but she'd never tell
That secretly she wanted him as well.
But all of her friends, stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes
Chorus
He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy
he wasn't good enough for her.
She had a pretty face but her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to Earth
5 years from now
she sits at home
feeding her baby she's all alone
She turns on TV, guess who she sees
Skater Boi rocking up MTV
She calls up her friends they already know
They've all got tickets to see his show
She tags along
Stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down
He was a skater boy
she said see ya later boy
he wasn't good enough for her
But now he's a superstar
Slamming on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth
He was a skater boy
she said see ya later boy
he wasn't good enough for her
But now he's a superstar
Slamming on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth
Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boys mine now
We are more than just good friends
this is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that boy could be
There is more than meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
He's just a boy
and I'm just a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious
We are in love haven't you heard
How we rock each others world
I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at the studio
singing the song we wrote
about a girl you used to know
I'm with the skater boy
I said see you later boy
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at the studio
singing the song we wrote
about a girl you used to know
Wasted
Standing at the back door
She tried to make it fast
One tear hit the hard wood
It fell like broken glass
She said sometimes love slips away
And you just can't get it back
Let's face it
For one split second
She almost turned around
But that would be like pouring rain drops
Back into a cloud
So she took another step and said
I see the way out and I'm gonna' take it
I don't wanna' spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by
Wasted
Another glass of whisky but it still don't kill the pain
So he stumbles to the sink and pours it down the drain
He says it's time to be a man and stop living for yesterday
Gotta face it.
Cause' I don't wanna' spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by
Wasted
Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I ain't spending no more time
Wasted
She kept drivin' along
Till the moon and the sun were floating side-by-side
He looked in the mirror and his eyes were clear
For the first time in a while
Hey, yeah,
Oh, I don't wanna' spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by
Wasted
Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I ain't spending no more time
Wasted
Oh, I don't wanna' spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I've let all these years go by
Wasted
Yeah, yeah
Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I ain't spending no more time
Wasted
