lyrics
In My Pocket
Among the many muted faces
You try to find me in the spaces
You're drawn to my song
You only move to keep from sinking
You close your eyes as if your thinking
Afraid all along
That in my eyes you're so revealing
you'll find what you're needing
Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
But, baby, then I'd be broke without it
Tell me, how much for your love
Hoping the melody will leave you
You walk to where I might not see you
Reach out to the wind
Looking to catch it for a minute
But just to hold it not be in it
I've been where you've been
Cause some how I'm so afraid the love will reveal what you're made of
Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
But, baby, then I'd be broke without it
Tell me, how much for your love
Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
But, baby, then I'd be broke without it
Tell me, how much for your love
Cause somehow I'm so afraid
the love will reveal what you're made of
Nothing but pennies in my pocket
Nothing but faith to keep me warm
But, baby, then I'd be broke without it
Tell me, how much for your love
You Remind Me
When I first saw you
I couldn't believe
The while you smiled
Took the breath out of me
(Breath out of me)
And maybe I am seeing things
But if it's true
Don't wake me up from this dream
You remind me
Of a love I knew
Feels so weird
It must be deja vu
You remind me
But I ain't got a clue
Boy, I'm so glad I found you
I never thought I could love again
But then you came
And changed something within
(I'm so confused)
I'm so confused
'Cause your not the same
But there's something special
That reminds me
It's the way you walk and
The way you talk
You really got style
It's the way you move and
The way you groove
I love your smile (I love your smile)
You remind me
Of a love I knew
Feels so weird
It must be deja vu
You remind me
But I ain't got a clue
Boy, I'm so glad I found you
I, I, can not figure it out
I ain't got a clue
I'm so confused about how I feel
Because I'm really feeling you
It's the way you walk and
The way you talk
You really got style
It's the way you move and
The way you're groove
I love your smile (I love your smile)
You remind me
Of a love I knew
Feels so weird
It must be deja vu
You remind me
But I ain't got a clue
Boy, I'm so glad I found you
You remind me (You remind me)
Of a love I knew (You remind me)
Feels so weird (You remind me)
It must be deja vu (You remind me, yeah)
You remind me (You remind me)
But I ain't got a clue (You remind me)
Boy, I'm so glad I found you
You remind me
Of a love I knew
Feels so weird
It must be deja vu
You remind me
But I ain't got a clue
Boy, I'm so glad I found you
Saturate Me
The desert I wander lacks its mirage
There's no mistaking a barrage
Of sand and wind that tears my skin
(Tears my skin, tears my skin)
Leaving what's without
Exposing what's within
Forsaken left here
In my barren desolate
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me?
Won't you saturate me?
Rain down on me with life
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me?
Won't you saturate me?
Storm around me, bring the tide
My days stretch long into the heat
As the sun brightens my defeat
My lips are chapped
They're parched and dry
(Parched and dry, parched and dry)
My thirst, it builds with every day gone by
Forsaken left here
In my barren desolate
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me?
Won't you saturate me?
Rain down on me with life
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me?
Won't you saturate me?
Storm around me, bring the tide
The dunes that shift
Drift and lift in the wind
Cover up my hope
As I start to give in
To the cracks and the creases
And the dips in my will
As I am pushed to the brink
I drink down arid swill
My soul is evaporating (oh)
Won't you saturate me?
Won't you saturate me? (oh, won't you saturate me)
Rain down on me with life (baby, bring me life)
My soul is evaporating (yeah)
Won't you saturate me?
Won't you saturate me?
Storm around me, bring the tide (yeah, yeah, yeah)
My soul is evaporating
Won't you saturate me?
Won't you saturate me?
Rain down on me with life
My, my soul, oh.
One Sided Love
I know you tried your best
But that's not good enough for me
Understand nevertheless
Love's gotta go both ways
Well, you pushed me to the left
Then you push me to the right
You gotta meet me in the middle
If you wanna make this right
But you gotta believe
So here it is
(Here it is, baby, here it is)
I wanna help you out
Tell you what it's all about
What I feel, what I need
How's it gonna be?
So, what you wanna do
What you really wanna do?
'Cause I've decided everything
That I want from you
One sided love
Is never gonna work
So let me tell you something
That I'm sure you never heard of
Tender love and care
In case you're unaware
So I'll tell you what
Let me tell you where it's at
Hit me with your best shot
I'm giving you a second chance
But you've gotta understand
If you don't know how to love me
I will find someone who can
So read my lips for the last time
I tell you now with no regret
If you don't get your act together
Even your name I will forget
But you gotta believe
So here it is
(Here it is, baby, here it is)
I wanna help you out
Tell you what it's all about
What I feel, what I need
How's it gonna be?
So, what you wanna do?
What you really wanna do?
'Cause I've decided everything
That I want from you
One sided love is never gonna work
One sided love is never gonna work
One sided love
Is never gonna work
So let me tell you something
That I'm sure you never heard of
Tender love and care
In case you're unaware
So I'll tell you what
Let me tell you where it's at
Hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
One sided love
One sided love
Is never gonna work
So let me tell you something
That I'm sure you never heard of
Tender love and care
In case you're unaware
So I'll tell you what
Let me tell where it's at
Oh, baby
One sided love
Is never gonna work
So let me tell you something
That I'm sure you never heard of
Tender love and care (tender love)
In case you're unaware (oh, no,no)
So I'll tell you what
Let me tell you where it's at
Hit me with you best shot
17
Yeah, oh, oh
(Got time to grow up)
(Keeping my heart open)
Oh, oh, yeah
Some people tell me
That you're not my kind
And I'd believe them
But I can't get you off my mind
Some people tell me
That I should stay away
Maybe I will (I will)
Some other day
'Cause it feels right
You know it feels good
And I don't always do
What I should
And I know what makes me happy
In my heart you are it exactly
I don't wanna do right
I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behavior
For a little later
'Cause I'm only 17
Think I made my mind up
I got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Living in the moment
Keeping my heart open
While I'm only 17
(Yeah, only 17)
I'll learn my lessons
And I'll make mistakes
And if I get burned (get burned)
It'll be my heart to break
It isn't easy hearing what they say
Sometimes you've got to (got to)
Take a leap of faith
'Cause it feels right
Yeah it feels good
And I'm not gonna do something stupid
Just this once
I wanna feel like
I can do what I want
If I hold tight
I don't wanna do right
I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behavior
For a little later
'Cause I'm only 17
Think I made my mind up
I got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Living in the moment
Keeping my heart open
While I'm only 17
(Yeah, only 17)
Anyone who's ever been in love
Has got to know
What it means
To have a dream
And no one
Can say anything
To change my mind
No, not this time
'Cause it feels right
You know it feels good (feels good)
And I don't always do
What I should (I should)
And you know what makes me happy
In my heart you are it exactly
I don't wanna do right
I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behavior
For a little later
'Cause I'm only 17
Think I made my mind up
I got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Living in the moment
Keeping my heart open
While I'm only 17
(Yeah, only 17)
I don't wanna do right
I just want you tonight
Not just only in my dreams
Save my best behavior
For a little later
'Cause I'm only 17
Think I made my mind up
I got time to grow up
Face responsibility
Living in the moment
Keeping my heart open
While I'm only 17
(Yeah, only 17)
Only 17, only 17
(Got time to grow up)
Yeah, only 17
Cry
I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended so soon, yeah
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark, gray sky
And I was changed
In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
It was late in September
And I'd seen you before
(And you I)
You were always the cold one
But I was never that sure
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark, gray sky
And I was changed
In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
And I wanted to hold you
I wanted to make it go away
And I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything all right
I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
In places no one will find
In places no one will find (Oh, no, no)
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
(Forever was in your eyes)
It was there that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
Baby, cry
The moment I saw you cry (Oh, no, no)
I think I saw you cry
The moment I saw you cry
I wanted to know you (X3)
Crush
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh (oh, oh)
You know
Everything that I'm afraid of
You do
Everything I wish I did
Everybody wants you
Everybody loves you
I know
I should tell you how I feel
I wish
Everyone would disappear
Every time you call me
I'm too scared to be me
And I'm too shy to say, ooh
I got a crush on you
I hope you feel
The way that I do
I get a rush
When I'm with you
Ooh, I got a crush on you
A crush on you
You know
I'm the one that you can talk to
Sometimes
You tell me things that I don't wanna know
I just wanna hold you
You say
Exactly how you feel about her
I wonder
Could you ever think of me that way?
I got a crush on you
I hope you feel
The way that I do
I get a rush
When I'm with you
Ooh, I got a crush on you
A crush on you
Ooh, I wish I could tell somebody
But there's no one to talk to
Nobody knows
I've got a crush on you
A crush on you
I got a crush
I got a crush, I got a crush on you
You say
Everything that no one says
But I feel
Everything that you're afraid to feel
I will always want you
I will always love you
I got a crush on you
I hope you feel
The way that I do
I get a rush
When I'm with you
Ooh, I got a crush on you
A crush on you
I got a crush on you
I hope you feel
The way that I do
I get a rush
When I'm with you
Ooh, I got a crush on you
A crush on you
It Only Took a Minute
Don't tell me how I had a vision
That this day would come to be
Call it luck, call it intuition (yeah)
Here I am (Here we are)
Isn't that enough?
For a little bit of reality
Fate is good, fate can be real
If you believe it's what you feel
Oh, what a moment
When I looked into your eyes
I knew I got the prize
Oh baby, what a sweet surprise
It only took a minute, baby
To let you in my life
It only took a minute
For me to realize
It only took a minute
And I knew just what to do
It only took a minute
To fall in love with you
Time and time again, boy
I've always been
The only one to think things through
You got ahold of me
Set me free
Who would've known
That out of the blue
I discovered the magic
Of all my dreams that night
WIth just one look at you
I knew that everything would be alright
It only took a minute, baby
To let you in my life
It only took a minute
For me to realize
It only took a minute
And I knew just what to do
It only took a minute
To fall in love with you
Here I am, isn't that a vision?
Only took a minute
Here I am, isn't that a vision?
Only took a minute
Oh, what a moment
When I looked into your eyes
I knew I got the prize
Oh baby, what a sweet surprise
It only took a minute, baby
To let you in my life (only took a minute to fall)
It only took a minute
For me to realize (in love with you)
It only took a minute
And I knew just what to do (to fall)
It only took a minute
To fall in love with you (let you in my life)
It only took a minute, baby
To let you in my life (oh, baby)
It only took a minute
For me to realize (oh, baby)
It only took a minute
And I knew just what to do (to realize)
It only took a minute
To fall in love with you
It only took a minute, baby
To let you in my life (oh, yeah, yeah)
It only took a minute
For me to realize (yeah, yeah, oh)
It only took a minute
And I knew just what to do
It only took a minute
To fall in love with you
Turn the Clock Around
Ooh, ohh
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
We were talking to eachother 'til dawn
You put your arms around me
And you asked me what was wrong
I tried to be so serious
So you smiled and played along
You were leaving town tomorrow
Yeah tomorrow, you'd be gone
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Well we must have had the stars above
And heaven on our side
'Cause we fell in love
Before we even made it through the night
But you were leaving town
To start another kind of life
You walked me through the door
And tried to say goodbye
Maybe I never found the right way
I kept my love hidden underground
Baby, I wish that there was some way
That I could turn the clock around
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
But I couldn't sleep
I called up everybody that I knew
All my friends said I'd be crazy
If I waited 'round for you
And I wanted to believe them
So I called to say we're through
But when I heard your voice
It nearly broke my heart in two
Maybe I never found the right way
I kept my love hidden underground
Baby, I wish that there was some way
That I could turn the clock around
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Don't say you're lost
And I'll find you someday
Well I jumped into the car
But as I headed down the road
I knew that when I got there
That there'd be nobody home
You had gone away forever
And left me all alone
Now I was on my own
Maybe I never found the right way
I kept my love hidden underground
Baby, I wish that there was some way
That I could turn the clock around
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do (ooh, ooh)
That I could turn the clock around
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do (ooh, ooh)
That I could turn the clock around
Yo-Yo
It's broken
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
I keep hanging around
Got some attachement to you
Way down is still where you get through
I've told myself it isn't right
But it isn't wrong
Yet I've found
The more you hot and cold me
The more I need protecting
Can't hear myself singing the same sad song
Oh, and it's not hard to figure out
Why I am never too far from the floor
You can only take me up and down
I've got to move forward
So I've cut the cord
It's broken
I can't let that hope in
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
You're leaving me no choice then
I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo
I don't come back when I'm thrown
Yeah, I keep hanging around
But can't defy gravity
Rebound every time you touch me
I've told myself it isn't right
But it isn't wrong
Yet I've found
The more you high and low me
The more I need stability
Can't hear myself singing this for too long
Oh, and now you've come to face the fact
But I'm running fast as I can to the door
'Cause you just wanna swing me up and back
And I've got to move forward
So I've cut the cord
It's broken
I can't let that hope in
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
You're leaving me no choice then
I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo
I don't come back when I'm thrown
I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
Didn't I adore you
Didn't I bend to keep you satisfied
Didn't I.....
Didn't I assure you
For every climb there is a downward slide
That I can't ride
Didn't I adore you
Didn't I bend to keep you satisfied
Didn't I.....
Didn't I assure you
For every climb there is a downward slide
I had to cut the cord
It's broken
I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go
You're leaving me no choice then
And I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo
I don't come back when I'm thrown
Oh, I know what you want
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go (X5)
Oh, no, no
I'll be on my way
I'm not a yo-yo
I'm not a thing you let go (X6)
From Loving You
I had you, I had everything I ever needed
From that first look I knew
I'd found heaven in your eyes
But who was to know the way it would go
I have no regrets
Glad I let you in
Wouldn't have missed one single moment
I would do it all over again 'cause
I was loved
I was touched
And I learned what love is
And I learned what love is
I was blessed, so blessed
'Cause I learned what love is
I learned what love is
From loving you
I held you, I held everything I ever dreamed of
With that first kiss from you
All this world seemed all so right
But who was to see the way it would be
I'll never forgot
All the heaven we shared
And I'll thank God for every moment
Every moment that I had you there
I was loved
I was touched
And I learned what love is
And I learned what love is
I was blessed, so blessed
'Cause I learned what love is
I learned what love is
From loving you
Some people search their whole lives
Never find what I found in your eyes
Glad I got to get the chance
To have you in my life
I won't be sad when I look back
I was loved
I was touched
And I learned what love is
And I learned what love is
I was blessed, so blessed
'Cause I learned what love is
I learned what love is
From loving you
I learned what love is from loving you
Split Chick
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh
I can run as fast as the boys
I can sing and dance ballet
I can show all my toys
Though I'd rather be alone today
It's not that I don't like to hang around with you
And though you're fun
I'm on the run, so much to do
Gotta make the dreams I have come true
'Cause life is what you make it
And to waste it just won't do
Split Chick
Gotta split, can't stay
That's the way I'm a Split Chick
Thanks a lot
I've had fun, see you babe
I'm split in two
I'm a Split Chick
I can hold my breath forever
I can pledge allegiance in reverse
You know kids can be so clever
It can be a blessing or a curse
When I'm with you
I get lost inside your eyes
I forget about the time and then I realize
I gotta run along and sing my song
I'll kiss you and I'll miss you
And be back before too long
Split Chick
Gotta split, can't stay
That's the way I'm a Split Chick
Thanks a lot
I've had fun, see you babe
I'm split in two
I'm a Split Chick
Split Chick
Gotta split, can't stay
That's the way I'm a Split Chick
Thanks a lot
I've had fun, see you babe
I'm split in two
I'm a Split Chick
Every flower has to find a way to reach up to the sun
Even through the cracks in the sidewalk
Gotta make the most of every day
Making friends, that'll help me on the way
I'll rise above the fear I feel
I'm gonna take these dreams and make them real
Split Chick
Gotta split, can't stay
That's the way I'm a Split Chick
Thanks a lot
I've had fun, see you babe
I'm split in two
I'm a Split Chick
Split Chick
Gotta split, can't stay
That's the way I'm a Split Chick
Thanks a lot
I've had fun, see you babe
I'm split in two
I'm a Split Chick
Split Chick
Gotta split, can't stay
That's the way I'm a Split Chick
Thanks a lot
I've had fun, see you babe
I'm split in two
I'm a Split Chick
When I Talk to You
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Remember me
Feels like forever
Since the days
When we were friends
Don't understand
All these changes
I'm still the same
No need to pretend
Where'd it go?
Do you know?
Maybe it just doesn't matter
When I try to talk to you
I feel like I'm not getting through to you
Where did we go wrong
It's hard to be strong
When I talk, when I talk to you
There were times
In the beginning
When you were there
When I needed you most
We'd sit and talk
About the future
And laugh about
Us getting old
Do you know
How it feels
I hope you know that it matters
When I try to talk to you
I feel like I'm not getting through to you
Where did we go wrong
It's hard to be strong
When I talk, when I talk to you
I want you to know everything that I am
Don't want to know what life would be without you
When I try to talk to you
I feel like I'm not getting through to you
Where did we go wrong
It's hard to be strong
When I talk, when I talk to you
When I talk to you
When I talk to you, hey, hey
When I talk, when I talk to you
When I talk to you
When I talk to |
