  • I'm A Fool
    Dino, Desi and Billy

    You know where I can be found
    doncha know I'll be waitin' by the telephone, girl
    While you're out runnin' around, yeah
    I'm sittin' home all alone

    I'm a fool, just a silly fool
    To be in love with you

    You can't be kind to me, girl
    You always treat me bad, girl
    But I can't let you go, I know
    It would only make me sad

    I'm a fool, just a silly fool
    To be in love with you

    You treat me just like dirt
    You have all the fun
    I stay at home and hurt

    Baby I wish I knew, yeah
    Just how to get you off my mind, girl
    To put you down and say we're through, yeah
    I think about you all the time

    I'm a fool, just a silly fool
    To be in love with you

    Baby I wish I knew, yeah
    Just how to get you off my mind, girl
    To put you down and say we're through, yeah
    I think about you all the time

    I'm a fool, just a silly fool
    To be in love with you
    I'm a fool, I'm a fool, I'm a fool

    • Garbage - When I Grow Up

      Cut my tongue out, I've been caught out
      Like a giant juggernaut
      Happy hours, golden showers
      On a cruise to freak you out

      We could fly a helicopter
      Nothing left to talk about
      Entertain you, celebrate you
      I'll be back to frame you

      When I grow up I'll be stable
      When I grow up I'll turn the tables

      Trying hard to fit among you
      Floating out to wonderland
      Unprotected, God I'm pregnant
      Damn the consequences

      When I grow up I'll be stable
      When I grow up I'll turn the tables

      Blood and blisters on my fingers
      Chaos rules when we're apart
      Watch my temper I go mental
      I'll try to be gentle

      When I grow up I'll be stable
      When I grow up I'll turn the tables
      When I grow up
      When I grow up
      When I grow up I'll turn the tables

      Don't take offence
      Can I make amends?
      Rip it up to shreds and let it go

      Don't take offence
      Can I make amends?
      Rip it up to shreds and let it go
      How you like it best, you let me know
      "Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt Whitman

      • IF EVER YOU'RE IN MY ARMS AGAIN
        (Peabo Bryson)

        It all came so easy, all the loving you gave me
        The feelings we shared, and I still can remember
        How your touch was so tender, it told me you cared
        We had a once in a lifetime
        But I just couldn't see, until it was gone
        A second once in a lifetime, may be too much to ask
        But I swear from now on

        Chorus:
        If ever you're in my arms again
        This time I'll love you much better
        If ever you're in my arms again
        This time I'll hold you forever
        This time will never end

        Now I'm seeing clearly
        How I still need you near me
        I still love you so
        There's something between us
        That won't ever leave us
        There's no letting go
        We had a once in a lifetime
        But I just didn't know it
        Till my life fell apart
        A second once in a lifetime
        Isn't too much to ask
        'Cause I swear from the heart

        Chorus

        The best of romances,
        deserve second chances
        I'll get to you somehow
        'Cause I promise now

        I WANNA TAKE FOREVER TONIGHT
        (Peter Cetera & Crystal Bernard)

        Feel your breath on my shoulder
        And I know we couldn't get any closer
        I don't wanna act tough
        I just wanna fall in love
        As we move into the night
        I get crazy
        Thinking how it's gonna be with you, baby
        I don't wanna play rough
        I've been loving you enough, oh baby

        Wanna take forever tonight
        Wanna stay in this moment forever
        I'm gonna give you
        All the love that I've got
        I wanna take forever tonight
        Fill you up, fill you up with love
        When we close the door
        All I need is in your eyes
        I wanna take forever tonight

        Touch my lips, I'm on fire
        You're the only one
        I'll ever desire
        Turn the lights down low
        Make the world go slow
        When I'm holding you tonight
        It's so easy
        Nothing moves me like you do
        When you tease me
        And to rush would be a crime
        I just wanna spend some time with you, baby

        Wanna take forever tonight
        Wanna stay in this moment forever
        I'm gonna give you
        All the love that I've got
        I wanna take forever tonight
        Fill you up, fill you up
        Give you all my love tonight
        When we close the door
        All I need is in your eyes
        I wanna take forever

        And when I'm here beside you
        I wanna see what drives you
        Out of your mind
        Oh baby
        I never wanna leave
        I only wanna be with you
        'Cause I love how I feel
        Your love is for real

        I wanna take forever tonight
        Wanna stay in this moment forever
        I'm gonna give you
        All the love that I've got

        I wanna take forever tonight
        Wanna stay in this moment forever
        I'm gonna give you
        All the love that I've got
        'Cause I can't live without you

        • Because it seems Willy Nelson is stalking me, here's a Willy Nelson/Lee Ann Womack song.


          Mendocino County Line
          Willy Nelson, Lee Ann Womack

          Counted the stars on the Forth of July,
          Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky.
          Talking about redemption and leaving things behind,
          As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line.

          Fierce as Monday morning feeling washed away,
          I orchastrated paradise; couldn't make you stay.
          We danced with the horses through the sands of time.
          As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line.

          I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
          To remind me of a time;
          These pictures, these photographs,
          Let me know I'm doing fine.

          I used to make you happy, once upon a time,
          But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line.

          The two of us together felt nothing but right
          Feeling near immortal every Friday night.
          Lost in our convictions; lips stained with wine,
          As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line.

          I don't talk to you too much these days.
          I just thank the Lord pictures don't fade.
          I spent time with an angel, just passing through,
          And all that's left are these pictures of you.

          Counted the stars on the Fourth of July,
          Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky.
          Talking about redemption and leaving things behind...

          I have these pictures and I keep these photographs to remind me of a time-
          These pictures, these photographs, let me know I'm doing fine.
          We used to be so happy, once upon a time- Once upon a time-
          But the sun sank west on the Mendocino County line.

          Mendocino county line
          Mendocino county line...
          You're a man- you can be replaced.

          • ALl for YOu by Sister Hazel

            Finally I figured out
            But it took a long, long time
            But now there's a turnabout
            Maybe 'cause I'm trying

            1-There's been times, I'm so confused
            All my roads, they lead to you
            I just can't turn and walk away

            It's hard to say what it is I see in you
            Wonder if I'll always be with you
            But words can't say, and I can't do
            Enough to prove, it's all for you

            I thought I'd seen it all
            'Cause it's been a long, long time
            Oh but then we'll trip and fall
            Wondering if I'm blind


            Rain comes pouring down, falling from blue skies
            Words without a sound, coming from your eyes


            It's hard to say, it's hard to say
            It's all for you

            Passenger by Deftones (With Maynard James Keenan)

            Hear I lay
            Still and breathless
            Just like always
            Still I want some more
            Mirrors sideways
            Who cares what’s behind
            Just like always
            Still your passenger
            Chrome buttons, buckles and leather surfaces
            These and other lucky witnesses
            Now to calm me
            This time would you please drive faster
            Roll the windows down
            This cool night air is curious
            Let the whole world look in
            Who cares who sees anything
            I’m your passenger
            I’m your passenger
            Drop these down and
            Put them on me
            Nice cool seats
            There to cushion your knees
            Now to calm me
            Take me around again
            Just don’t pull over
            This time would you please drive faster
            Roll the windows down
            This cool night air is curious
            Let the whole world look in
            Who cares who sees what tonight
            Roll these misty windows down
            To catch my breath again
            And then go and go and go just drive me home
            Then back again
            Here I lay just like always
            Don’t let me
            Go take me to the edge

            Swamp SOng by Tool

            "My warning meant nothing.
            You're dancing in quicksand.
            Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
            Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
            You're wading knee deep and going in.
            And you may never come back again.

            This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
            when you're a stupid,dumb ass, beligerant ****er.

            I hope it sucks you down.

            Wander in and wandering.
            Noone even invited you in.
            But still you stumble in stumbling.
            So suffocate
            or get out while you can.

            Noone told you to come.

            I hope it sucks you down.

              but I need you
              Oh, oh, oh
              you do me wring now
              my love is strong now

              TRACKS OF MY TEARS

              People say I'm the life of the party
              'Cause I tell a joke or two
              Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
              Deep inside I'm blue

              So take a good look at my face
              You know my smile looks out of place
              If you look closer it's easy to trace
              The tracks of my tears

              I need you...
              Need you

              Since you left me if you see me with another girl
              Looking like I'm having fun
              Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute
              'Cause you're the permanent one

              So take a good look at my face
              You know my smile looks out of place
              If you look closer it's easy to trace
              The tracks of my tears

              Outside I'm masquerading
              Inside my hope is fading
              I'm just a clown since you put me down
              My smile is my make up
              I wear since my break-up with you

              Baby, take a good look at my face
              You know my smile looks out of place
              If you look closer it's easy to trace
              The tracks of my tears

              • Billy Don't Be A Hero
                Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods


                The marchin' band came down along Main Street
                The soldier-blues fell in behind
                I looked across and there I saw Billy
                Waiting to go and join the line
                And with her head upon his shoulder
                His young and lovely fiancee
                >From where I stood, I saw she was cryin'
                And through her tears I heard her say

                "Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
                "Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
                And as he started to go she said "Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow"
                "Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"

                The soldier-blues were trapped on a hillside
                The battle raging all around
                The sergeant cried "We've got to hang on, boys"
                "We got to hold this piece a'ground"
                "I need a volunteer to ride up"
                "And bring us back some extra men"
                And Billy's hand was up in a moment
                Forgettin' all the words she said

                She said
                "Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
                "Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
                And as he started to go she said "Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow"
                "Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"

                I heard his fiancee got a letter
                That told how Billy died that day
                The letter said that he was a hero
                She should be proud he died that way
                I heard she threw that letter away

                Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
                "Hating America is something best left to Mobius. He is an expert Yank hater.
                He also hates Texans and Australians, he does diversify." ~ Braindead

                  She moves like she don't care
                  Smooth as silk, cool as air
                  Ooh it makes you wanna cry
                  She doesn't know your name
                  And your heart beats like a subway train
                  Ooh it makes you wanna die

                  Ooh Don't ya wanna take her
                  Ooh Don't ya wanna make her all your own

                  (Chorus)
                  Maria
                  You've got to see her
                  Go insane and out of your mind
                  Regina
                  Ave Maria
                  A million and one

                  I've seen this thing before
                  In my best friend
                  And the boy next door
                  Fool for love
                  Fool on fire
                  Won't come in from the rain
                  Sees oceans running down the drain
                  Blue as ice and desire

                  Ooh Don't you wanna make her
                  Ooh Don't you wanna take her home

                  (Repeat Chorus)

                  She walks like she don't care wanna take her everywhere
                  Ooh Makes you wanna cry
                  She's like a millionaire
                  Walking on imported air
                  Ooh it makes you wanna die

                  You were the only one
                  That I allowed inside my heart
                  Now I'm just holding on
                  To something so far gone


                  Baz Lurhmann - Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)

                  Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '97: Wear sunscreen.
                  If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.
                  Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.
                  You are not as fat as you imagine.
                  Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.
                  Do one thing every day that scares you.
                  Sing.
                  Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
                  Floss.
                  Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself. Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
                  Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
                  Stretch.
                  Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.
                  Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.
                  Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.
                  Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
                  Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
                  Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
                  Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.
                  Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
                  Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
                  Travel.
                  Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders.
                  Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.
                  Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.
                  Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
                  But trust me on the sunscreen.
                  "Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt Whitman

                  • Hehe...only just found this, and found it so amusing I figured I had to post it.


                    Not The Sunscreen Song - John Safran (with no apologies of any sort to Baz Lurhman)

                    Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '98,
                    People often ask me if I have any advice to offer
                    And when they do, I tell them this:

                    If you're unsure about what you're going to do with your life,
                    Try to remember, some of the most interesting people didn't know what they were going to do at age twenty-two or even at forty, and nearly all of them are unemployed drug addicts forced to live on cat food.
                    Also understand that friends will come and go, this is because of your irritating personality, nobody likes you. So if the only thing getting you thought the day is the misconception that people like you, end it now. (bang)
                    Learn how to smoke Whinny Blues, if you're under aged, get an older kid to buy them for you.
                    Get to really know your parents, they're good for money, milk them, then put them in an old people's home.
                    Travel as often as you can, live in New York City once, live in Northern California once, never live in Adelaide, It's a hole.
                    Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't, if you do have children, lock them under the stairs.
                    Do one thing each day that scares you, sing, dance, jump in front of a car.
                    Do not trust anyone who tries to update Sheakespear for the kids, and if you see Quindon Tarver in the street, punch him in the face for me.

                    Chorus
                    Brother and Sister, we can be free (smack)

                    If you're worried about the way you look, try to remember, you're probably fatter than you think, maybe you should consider an eating disorder. Don't worry too much about the future. If you're nervous about an exam, ring up your school to schedule time, and make a bomb threat. If you're a girl, lie about period pains to get out of anything you don't want to do. Cheat if you think you can get away with it. Remember, someone with richer parents is getting private tuition.
                    Shop-lift as often as you can, Shopping Centres factor shop-lifting into their prices, so if you don't do it, it's like they're getting money for free.
                    When you're on work experience, steal a cab-charge, and take a Taxi to Perth.
                    Wear sunscreen, but only if it's that coconut oil that gives you cancer.
                    Keep your old love letters, if you see an old lover in the street, try to run them over in your car.
                    Don't mess too much with your hair, or else by the time you're thirty-five, you'll look like Greg Matthews.
                    Remember you can wear your underwear four times without washing them, Forwards, Backwards, inside-out Forwards, inside-out Backwards.

                    Chorus twice
                    (bang bang bang bang)

                    Congregate in gangs around train stations and shopping centres, it's a free country, It's public space. Skateboard on War Memorials.
                    Smoke in your School uniform.
                    Set off car alarms.
                    Plant Drugs on a teacher.
                    Join a cult.
                    Spike Drinks.
                    Don't flush public toilets.
                    Remember, only you will truly take care of you, so carry a concealed weapon.
                    Don't wear your 'P' plates.
                    Walk around with your eye lids rolled back.
                    Touch your tongue on the tip of batteries.
                    Be open to new love.
                    Remember, you can't get pregnant the first time you have sex.
                    Expect others to support you, it's easy to get the doll and still do cash in hand work.
                    Respect your elders, when your grandma dies, have her stuffed.
                    Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when you're knee capped by a loan shark.
                    Get revenge, don't forgive anyone for anything,
                    But most of all, don't aim too high, you're probably only suited to an office or factory job.
                    And trust me on the Whinny Blues.
                    "Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt Whitman

                      • Chicago
                        Heart In Pieces

                        Only you can touch me with your eyes
                        with a look that burns like fire through the lonely night.
                        Sometimes I run, but I can never hide
                        from the pieces of my heart that fall like rain from the sky.

                        When you hear the thunder,
                        when you hear the sound of a mountain crashing down,
                        it's just my heart in pieces.
                        When I feel the hunger,
                        when I'm reaching out with a hundred thousand hands,
                        it's my heart in pieces.


                        No one cuts through my soul like you can.
                        I'm naked to the bone beside your empty hand.
                        I see your face and I remember.
                        I'm a prisoner of your fate,
                        I'm a loser in the race.


                        When you hear the thunder,
                        when you hear the sounds of a mountain crashing down,
                        it's just my heart in pieces.
                        When I feel the hunger,
                        when I'm reaching out with a hundred thousand hands,
                        it's my heart in pieces.


                        I walk the fine line
                        between fire and the ice.
                        The memory lives on.
                        There's always something to remind me.
                        Every teardrop falling
                        when your voice keeps calling.
                        "If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun." -Katherine Hepburn

                          THE AMERICAN:
                          Bangkok, Oriental setting
                          And the city don't know that the city is getting
                          The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
                          Show with everything but Yul Brynner

                          Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
                          Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
                          All change -- don't you know that when you
                          Play at this level there's no ordinary venue

                          It's Iceland --
                          or the Philippines --
                          or Hastings -- or --

                          When your head's down over your pieces, brother

                          COMPANY:
                          It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
                          To be looking at the board, not looking at the city

                          THE AMERICAN:

                          Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
                          --

                          COMPANY:
                          Tea, girls, warm, sweet
                          Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite

                          THE AMERICAN:
                          Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
                          Whose every move's among the purest
                          I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

                          COMPANY:
                          One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
                          Not much between despair and ecstasy
                          One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
                          Can't be too careful with your company
                          I can feel the devil walking next to me

                          THE AMERICAN:
                          Siam's gonna be the witness
                          To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
                          This grips me more than would a
                          Muddy old river or reclining Buddha

                          And thank God I'm only watching the game --
                          controlling it --

                          I don't see you guys rating
                          The kind of mate I'm contemplating
                          I'd let you watch, I would invite you
                          But the queens we use would not excite you

                          So you better go back to your bars, your temples,
                          your massage
                          parlours --

                          COMPANY:
                          One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
                          The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
                          You'll find a god in every golden cloister
                          A little flesh, a little history
                          I can feel an angel sliding up to me

                          One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
                          Not much between despair and ecstasy
                          One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
                          Can't be too careful with your company
                          I can feel the devil walking next to me.
                          Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

                          • She's So High - Tal Bachman

                            She's blood, flesh and bone
                            No tucks or silicone
                            She's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound

                            But somehow I can't believe
                            That anything should happen
                            I know where I belong
                            And nothing's gonna happen

                            'Cause she's so high
                            High above me, she's so lovely
                            She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc or Aphrodite
                            She's so high, high above me

                            First class and fancy free
                            She's high society
                            She's got the best of everything

                            What could a guy like me ever really offer?
                            She's perfect as she can be, why should I even bother?

                            'Cause she's so high
                            High above me, she's so lovely
                            She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc or Aphrodite
                            She's so high, high above me

                            She calls to speak to me
                            I freeze immediately
                            'Cause what she says sounds so unreal

                            'Cause somehow I can't believe
                            That anything should happen
                            I know where I belong
                            And nothing's gonna happen

                            'Cause she's so high
                            High above me, she's so lovely
                            She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc or Aphrodite
                            She's so high, high above me
                            "Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt Whitman

                            • MORNING HAS BROKEN
                              Cat Stevens

                              Morning has broken like the first morning,
                              Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
                              Praise for the singing, Praise for the morning,
                              Praise for them springing fresh from the world.

                              Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven,
                              Like the first dewfall on the first grass.
                              Praise fore the sweetness of the wet garden,
                              srung in completeness where his feet pass.

                              Mine is the sunlight, Mine is the morning,
                              Born of the one light Eden saw play.
                              Praise with elation, praise ev'ry morning,
                              God's resreation of the new day.

                              Morning has broken ...

                              • WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
                                (Julio Iglesias and Dolly Parton)

                                I wanna feel this way
                                Longer than time
                                I wanna know your dreams
                                And make them mine

                                I wanna change the world
                                Only for you
                                All the impossible
                                I wanna do

                                I wanna hold you close
                                Under the rain
                                I wanna kiss your smile
                                And feel your pain
                                I know what’s beautiful
                                Looking at you
                                Here in a world of lies
                                You are the true

                                (Chorus)
                                And baby
                                Everytime you touch me
                                I become a hero
                                I’ll make you safe no matter where you are
                                And bring you
                                Anything you ask for
                                Nothing is above me
                                I’m shining like a candle in the dark
                                When you tell me that you love me

                                I wanna make you see
                                Just what I was
                                Show you the loneliness
                                And what it does
                                You walked into my life
                                To stop my tears
                                Everything’s easy now
                                I have you here

                                (Repeat Chorus)

                                In a world without you
                                I would always hunger
                                All I need is your love to make me stronger

                                (Repeat Chorus)

                                YOU'VE GOT A WAY
                                (Shania Twain)

                                (Anyway you want me)
                                You've got a way with me
                                Somehow you got me to believe
                                In everything that I could be
                                I've gotta say, you really got a way

                                (Anyway you want me)
                                You've got a way it seems
                                You gave me faith to find my dreams
                                You'll never know just what that means
                                Can't you see... you got a way with me

                                It's in the way you want me

                                The way you show me just what love's made of
                                It's in the way we make love

                                (Anyway you want me)
                                You've got a way with words
                                You get me smiling even when it hurts
                                There's no way to measure what your love is worth
                                I can't believe the way you get through to me

                                It's in the way you want me
                                It's in the way you hold me
                                The way you show me just what love's made of
                                It's in the way we make love

                                Oh, how I adore you
                                Like no one before you
                                I love you just the way you are

                                It's in the way you want me
                                It's in the way you hold me
                                The way you show me just what love's made of
                                It's in the way we make love
