Lyrics for all songs:
TRACK 1: AS BAD AS IT GETS
Verse 1
I always thought that I could make it up to you
I never thought you’d stop forgiving me
Time and time again, I’d lie and make amends
That time is gone and now you’re leavin’ me
CHORUS:
I didn’t know how much I loved you ‘til I got the note you left
Never saw how much I needed you now my heart won’t let me rest
The way that I am missin’ you, it scares me half to death
Oh baby, it’s as bad as it gets
Bridge:
Lyin’s just for fools, who cannot face the truth
I lost your love, lost your trust,
Oh baby what’s the use?
CHORUS:
I didn’t know how much I loved you ‘til I got the note you left
Never saw how much I needed you now my heart won’t let me rest
The way that I am missin’ you, it scares me half to death
Oh baby, it’s as bad as it gets
Verse 2
Now that you’re gone, the truth it stares me in the face
All these years of running, just brought shame and disgrace
I know you won’t believe me, and I guess it’s too late
But I am truly sorry for all my mistakes
CHORUS:
I didn’t know how much I loved you ‘til I got the note you left
Never saw how much I needed you now my heart won’t let me rest
The way that I am missin’ you, it scares me half to death
Oh baby, it’s as bad as it gets
Oh baby, it’s as bad as it gets
Oh baby, it’s as bad as it gets
I always thought that I could make it up to you…
TRACK 2: EVERYTHING IS GONE
Verse 1
I Woke up with my world on fire
Burned everything except desire
Lost the keys to my whole world
Lost my mind in the smokin’ swirls
Bridge:
Everything, everything is gone
Verse 2
Down the hall the sirens came,
Please wake up they called my name
Feel the heat of wasted time
Lose your past in the flames and grime
Bridge:
Everything, everything is gone
Everything, everything is gone...
Verse 3
From the ash angels rise
Bringing all we need to survive
Strength & hope to see us through
Trade your pain for something new
Bridge:
Everything, everything is gone
Everything, everything is gone... except for love
Chorus:
Love is gonna heal you
Yeah, love is gonna heal you from your past
Love is gonna heal you
Yeah love is gonna heal you, make it last
Love is gonna heal you
Yeah love is gonna heal you from your past
Free at last, from your past
Free at last, from your past
Free at last
TRACK 3: FAREWELL
Verse 1:
We tried hard through stormy weather Each gray cloud gathered many tears
Now the rain is falling hard The wind has swept you from my arms
Can’t get back those troubled years
CHORUS:
So Good bye, so long, it’s been good to know ya
Has my heart been broke, it’s really hard to tell
‘Cause it’s been so long that this pain’s been buried deep inside
So good bye, so long, farewell
BRIDGE:
I stayed for the kids, I stayed for the memories
I stayed for the hope that you could still love me
Verse 2:
25 years seems like forever
Now I’ve given half a life to you
Empty nest, empty house. What’s left to talk about?
I got old, you found someone new
CHORUS:
So Good bye, so long, it’s been good to know ya
Has my heart been broke, it’s really hard to tell
‘Cause it’s been so long that this pain’s been buried deep inside
So good bye, so long, farewell
TRACK 4: LIPSTICK & LINGERIE
Verse 1:
I always was a lone wolf, Don’t wanna sew and I can’t cook
I’m just not the marrying kind, no interest in that family time
I ain’t no Maybelleine No fancy pantsy beauty queen
But you stepped right out of a dream
CHORUS:
Now I’m wearing lipstick and lingerie, I never thought I’d feel this way
Now I’m beggin’ on my knees, Baby, baby, baby please
Lipstick and lingerie, Just rock me ‘til the break of day
In my lipstick and lingerie
Bridge
I know what you must be thinking
That girl she must have been drinking
‘cause you ain’t no Prince Charming
But your kiss is so disarming
CHORUS:
Now I’m wearing lipstick and lingerie, I never thought I’d feel this way
Now I’m beggin’ on my knees, Baby, baby, baby please
Lipstick and lingerie, Just rock me ‘til the break of day
In my lipstick and lingerie
Verse 2:
Now I’ll never paint my fingernails but I believe in fairy tales
You’re happy ever after man you love me just the way I am
I could walk you down the aisle your hat your dimples make me smile
I love you there ain’t no denial
CHORUS:
Now I’m wearing lipstick and lingerie, I never thought I’d feel this way
Now I’m beggin’ on my knees, Baby, baby, baby please
Lipstick and lingerie, Just rock me ‘til the break of day
In my lipstick and lingerie
TRACK 5: LIVIN' A LIE
Verse 1
When I first saw your smile I knew that I’d love you forever
We walked down the aisle dreaming of being together
We talked about houses and kids two or three
A dog and two cats, a real family
When you said forever, I thought it’d be longer than this
Verse 2
Well how ‘bout the kids
I guess I’m the one who should keep them
When they say where’s Dad
I’m not really sure what I’ll tell them
You’ll have weekends and Christmas and days in between
Oh my heart can’t handle this shattering dream
As your packing your bags tell me it’s really not true
Chorus:
You’ve been talking a dream but livin’ a lie
There aren’t too many things on which you can rely except
Taxes and heartache and saying goodbye in the end
When it all boils down to what’s two and two
It just don’t add up when I’m talkin’ to you
If we’re gonna break up I hope we’ll do it as friends
Bridge
Now we’re breaking our home up and our egos too
Oh I’ll never love someone as deeply as you
This pain in my heart will never ever subside
Chorus:
You’ve been talking a dream but livin’ a lie
There aren’t too many things on which you can rely except
Taxes and heartache and saying goodbye in the end
When it all boils down to what’s two and two
It just don’t add up when I’m talkin’ to you
If we’re gonna break up I hope we can do it
Oh please let us do it, Lord how can we do it
If we’re gonna break up
We’ll never make it as friends
TRACK 6: MAIN SQUEEZE
Verse
Tick Tock, there goes my clock
I look in the mirror and I think
Am I gonna die like this?
Just another woman who never felt a tender kiss
Then you walked in the room
And I said “who’s that dude?”
We locked our eyes, now we’re hypnotized
Chorus:
You’re as refreshing as a Sunday stroll
Hold my hand and I lose control
Just like Ice Cream when it’s 93
Oh baby, you’re my main squeeze
Bridge:
Those Deep brown eyes that look straight to my heart
You were the one right from the very start
A couple of decades and a couple of kids
You can still thrill me like you always did
Chorus:
You’re as refreshing as a Sunday stroll
Hold my hand and I lose control
Just like Ice Cream when it’s 93
Oh baby, you’re my main squeeze
Chorus:
You’re as refreshing as a Sunday stroll
Hold my hand and I lose control
Just like Ice Cream when it’s 93
Oh baby, you’re my main squeeze
You’re my main squeeze, you’re my main squeeze
You’re my main squeeze, you’re my main squeeze
Come on and squeeze me baby!
TRACK 7: THE OTHER SIDE (For Celia)
Verse:
Did I tell you that I loved you before you turned that key?
A few miles down the road, the thought it haunted me
Just one more chance to hold you, to tell you you’re my life
What am I gonna do now that I can’t be your wife?
The road was dark, the turn was sharp, The car it came so fast
I called the man a liar when he told me you had crashed
I know someday I’ll feel again something that’s not pain
The tears they just keep falling like Bombay in the rain
CHORUS:
Why’d you take that ride and leave us all behind
If love was all I needed to turn the hands of time
We could both grow old, and watch our family grow
Oh why’d you take that ride, now you’re on the other side
Verse:
From the days of Lascaux ‘til eternity my friend
Our souls are walking hand in hand, Our love will never end
Every word I write I’ll wonder did it come from me or you
Your poetry, your beauty still comes shining through
CHORUS:
Why’d you take that ride and leave us all behind
If love was all I needed to turn the hands of time
We could both grow old, and watch our family grow
Oh why’d you take that ride, now you’re on the other side
Verse:
I miss your touch, your lips, your hair
The way you said good night
You filled my life with laughter, love, hope and light
CHORUS:
Why’d you take that ride and leave us all behind
If love was all I needed I could turn the hands of time
We could both grow old, and watch our family grow
Oh why’d you take that ride, why’d you take that ride?
Why’d you take that ride and leave us all behind?
If love was all I needed I could turn the hands of time
We could both grow old, and watch our family grow
Oh why’d you take that ride, why’d you take that ride?
The next time I see you, I’ll be on the other side
TRACK 8: TIME FLIES
Verse 1
I was a child not long ago Grew up fast, how could I know
Got a job, found a mate Stepped on board the train of fate
A baby cries, then he’s 5, Look up again, now he’s ten
Off to school, off to play, Seems he was born, just yesterday
Chorus:
But time flies, Yeah it slips right through our hands
Time flies It never trips, it never lands
Time flies
Bridge:
I guess my dreams will have to wait, Cause I got home from working late
I’ll see my kids another day, But they’ll grow up while I’m away
Chorus:
But time flies, Yeah it slips right through our hands
Time flies It never trips, it never lands
Verse 3
So take your time
Use it well
Laugh and play, and love like hell
Life is gone before you see that this is not eternity
Chorus:
But time flies Yeah it slips right through our hands
Time flies It never trips, it never lands
Time flies, It slips like grains of sand
Time flies It never trips, it never lands
Time flies, time flies, time flies
TRACK 9: WE'RE THROUGH
Verse 1:
Out on the horizon, I’m searching for you
Ain’t so surprising, you’re fading from view
Chorus:
We’re riding the train now, that breaks us in two
In so many ways now, we’re through
Verse 2:
Drowning in silence, over our heads
It’s time for a wake now, for our wedding bed
Chorus:
We’re riding the train now that breaks us in two
In so many ways now, we’re through
We’re through
Verse 3:
Got off the train now, at Lost Avenue
So many years now, I’ll spend without you
I’ll spend without you baby
I’ll spend without you baby
'Cause we're through
Repeat and fade
