FAMILY

LeAnn Rimes, Dean Sheremet, Blair Daly

Mama's cryin' again, her baby's nowhere to be found
The world has gone and taken her away
Daddy went and ran off with some white trash half his age
Left me at home to pay for his mistakes
And my sister held my hand when that bad boy broke my heart
Ain't no miles, ain't no man could ever tear us apart

Now here I stand on roots that deep
We laugh, we cry, we hurt, we bleed
We're best of friends and worst enemies
We're all to blame, we're all the same
Make no apologies
This is my family
Yeah, this is my family

I can't forget the night that Uncle William passed away
We were forced to recognise his weird disease
I ran away and I ran around with a man twice my age
Ain't it funny how some things never change

Now here I stand on roots that are deep
We laugh, we cry, we hurt, we bleed
We're best of friends and worst enemies
We're all to blame, we're all the same
Make no apologies
This is my family
This is my family

Don't you try to shame my name
'Cause 'til the death I will defend
Yeah their blood runs through my veins
It's where I start and where I'll end

Now here I stand, on roots so deep
We laugh, we cry, we hurt and we bleed
We're best of friends and worst enemies
We're all to blame, we're all the same
Make no apologies
This is my family
Yeah, this is my family
Whoa, they call this family
Yeah, this is my family

NOTHIN BETTER TO DO

LeAnn Rimes, Dean Sheremet

Hung my cotton dress on rusted wire
Up there on Penalahatchee Bridge
Just a crazy roughnecks daughter
Jumped head first into the water
Baptized away my sins

Hitched to town with Bobby Jo and Tommy
Couple of lookers new best friends
We slipped in the back of sunday service
Know them church ladies they heard us
Bum smoke money from the offering

Momma said "Idle hands are
Devil's handywork oh
The trouble you'll get into"
When you got

Nothin' better to do
Got nothin' better to do
You got nothin' better to do
Got nothin' better to do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah-yeah

Sign read bait, chips, beer and ammunition
That slim-Jim bag boy hadn't a prayer
Well I hiked my skirt and did the talkin'
While them boys were busy walkin'
Case of point 5 out the back door

Hid deep in the Mississippi backwoods
We danced and played around til dark
Well I had them wrestlin' for my first kiss
Turned into a fight and they missed
Me speeding off in Tommy's car

Momma said "Idle hands are
Devil's handywork oh
The trouble you'll get into"
When you got

Nothin' better to do
Got nothin' better to do
You got nothin' better to do
Got nothin' better to do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Nobody hurt, nobody harmed
Nobody's business but my own

Momma said "Idle hands are
Devil's handywork oh
The trouble you'll get into"
You've got

Nothin' better to do
Got nothin' better to do
You got nothing better to do
Got nothin' better to do

You've got
Nothin' better to do
Got nothin' better to do
You got nothin' better to do

Yeah
Oh yeah-yeah

Got nothin' better to do, babe

FIGHT

LeAnn Rimes, Darrell Brown, Blair Daly

Hush, hush... why don't you want to talk about it?
Bitch, bitch... you don't need to sugar coat it
I don't want us to ever get to the point where we can't recover
Break, break... we're allowed to have our moments
Go on spell it out there's nothing wrong with being honest
I can take it, go ahead let it out, let's get it over and done with

I don't wanna fight anymore
Cause every minute that we fight is a moment that we could be lovin'
Hey, lay down with me tonight
I don't wanna fight

We could start a war with both our tempers
Tomorrow I bet you anything we won't remember
Who was right, who was wrong, what we said?
But we'll regret what we've lost

Oh, I don't wanna fight anymore
Cause every minute that we fight is a moment that we could be lovin'
Hey, lay down with me tonight
I don't wanna fight

Were taking for granted how good that we have it
Let's laugh til we cry
And get back to what matters
Oh it matters

No, I don't wanna fight anymore
Cause every minute that we fight is a moment that we could be lovin'
Hey, lay down with me tonight

No, I don't really wanna fight anymore
Cause every minute that we fight is a moment that we could be lovin'

Oh yeah
Ooh, ooh

Who died and crowned me everybody's everything?
I'm even bustin' my butt through the weekend
By the time I get home there's not an ounce of sanity
Between the dogs, my mama's calls
Is it against the law
For me to get what I need

A good friend and a glass of wine
Someone to say it's gonna be alright
A good friend and a glass of wine
A little pick me up to get me through the night

The kind of therapy money can't buy
Every now and then, every now and then, every girl needs
A good friend and a glass of wine

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I don't need to jet off on no vacation for a week
I'd be happy to have a happy hour

SOMETHING I CAN FEEL

LeAnn Rimes, Darrell Brown, Blair Daly

Cross my heart and I swear the truth
Love was dead to me 'till I met you
I spent a lot of time building up these walls
And you come strutting in with your wrecking ball
Just another girl defeated, till you gave me what I needed

Something I can feel
Something I can feel deep down, yea
What did I do to deserve someone who gives me a love
That gets better and better and better?

Sometimes I've gotta bite my tongue
It even freaks me out the way I talk you up
You're like, a bad flip off a trampoline
You just say my name I'm dizzy on my feet
When my day goes numb and empty
You know exactly how to give me

Something I can feel
Something I can feel deep down
Yeah, you know you're striking a nerve
That keeps making this better and better and better

Something I can feel
I never ever need to ask for more no, no
What did I do to deserve someone who gives me a love
That gets better and better and better?

What did I, what did I do to find someone who gives me your love
What did I, what did I do to find someone who gives me your love and

Something I can feel
Something I can feel deep down
Yeah, you know you're striking a nerve
That keeps making this better and better and better?

Something I can feel
I never ever need to ask for more no, no
What did I do to deserve someone who gives me a love
That gets better and better and better?

What did I, what did I do to find someone who gives me your love
Something I can feel
What did I, what did I do to find someone who gives me your love
Something I can feel
What did I, what did I do to find someone who gives me your love

I WANT YOU WITH ME

LeAnn Rimes, Dean Sheremet, Blair Daly

When I'm walking down the street on a quiet afternoon
Or when I hear our favourite song and it gets me in the mood
When I don't know who I am and the world is not my friend
When I fight my way back up again, oh

I-I-I want you with me every move I make
I-I-I want you to see all that I see
Throught the laughter and the madness
And every moment in between, oh
I-I-I... I want you with me

When I tell my daddy bye for the very last time
When I learn a whole new love in our baby's first cry
When you can tell I've done it all by the lines on my face
When I start regretting my mistakes, oh

I-I-I want you with me every move I make
I-I-I want you to see all that I see
Throught the laughter and the madness
And every moment in between, oh
I-I-I... I want you with me

Oh, I-I-I want you with me every move I make
I-I-I want you to see all that I see
Throught the laughter and the madness
And every moment in between, oh
I-I-I... I want you with me, no oh-oh
I want you with me

Ooh-ooh, yeah
I want you with me

DOESN'T EVERYBODY

LeAnn Rimes, Dean Sheremet, Darrell Brown

You may have a tabloid life, pay for all your friends
You may be a surburban wife with your white picket fence
You may be a suit and tie paying off your high rise rent
But when it all comes down
When it all comes down, baby
When it all comes down to it:

Doesn't everybody want the same thing?
To be loved
Doesn't everybody want the same thing?
Why isn't that enough?
Doesn't everybody want the same thing?

You may be a night shift waitress to send your kid through school
You may be a stubborn doctor pushing for the cure
You may be a bitter divorce wondering what he saw in her
When it all comes down
When it all comes down, baby
When it all comes down to it:

Doesn't everybody want the same thing?
To be loved
Doesn't everybody want the same thing?
Why isn't that enough?
Doesn't everybody want the same thing?

Oooooooooo yea yeah
Oooooooooo yea yeah

When it all comes down, when it all comes down
When it all comes down to it:

Doesn't everybody want the same thing?
To be loved
Doesn't everybody want the same thing?
Why isn't that enough?
Doesn't everybody want the same thing?
To be loved
Doesn't everybody want the same thing?
Why isn't that enough?
Doesn't everybody want the same thing?

Oh, doesn't everybody want the same thing?
Doesn't everybody, doesn't everybody?
Oh, don't we all want the same thing?

NOTHIN' WRONG

DUET WITH MARC BROUSSARD

LeAnn Rimes, Marc Broussard, Blair Daly

I would've slipped off my jeans, slipped on my heels
If I knew I'd see you
This dimond ring gets kinda loose
Gotta watch my self around you

Glad you finally said something
Cause its been weighin' on my mind and messing with my life
I wonder should I feel guilty
But we havent crossed that line

We ain't doin' nothin' wrong
Ooh-ooh, nothin' wrong as long as we keep it innocent
I'm just trying to have some fun
But baby you're drivin me crazy (I ain't trying to make you crazy)
For me it ain't that much fun
If we ain't doing nothin' wrong

If you only knew what you do to me when you walk away
If I had a chance gave you a taste
Well baby you'd be begging me to stay

Sometimes I wonder what it feels like
But I got a good man
And I'm a damn good wife
I don't wanna feel guilty
But its getting awfully hard to believe

We ain't doin' nothin' wrong
Oh yeah, nothin' wrong as long as we keep it innocent
I'm just trying to have some fun
But baby you're drivin me crazy (I ain't trying to make you crazy)
For me it ain't that much fun
If we ain't doing nothin'

I never ask you (would you leave the one you love?)
I never tell you (want you so bad it hurts)
About the way you make me feel (baby can you make it real?)
If we don't make it real

I'm just trying to have some fun
But baby you're drivin me crazy (I ain't trying to make you crazy)
For me it ain't that much fun
If we ain't doing nothin'
We ain't doing nothin' wrong

Don't blame me, don't blame me for wanting you so bad
Yeah yeah ooooh
Oh come on talk to me baby
Stop coming back
Stop coming back here looking like that
Ooooh oh no, no, no
Can't stop me, watch me walk away
Tried to stop you baby

PRETTY THINGS

LeAnn Rimes, Dean Sheremet, Darrell Brown

Mama's high heels
Cherry lipstick
And a goodwill dress
Play pretending
Danced for the mirror
A fairytale princess

Pretty things are yours to hold
My pretty thinig soon you will know
Pretty things you think you need
But not what make you beautiful
Pretty things will rob you blind
Pretty things will fade with time
It's what's inside that makes you shine
My pretty thing

It's only natural
The table's turning
And gracefully I'll learn
How to cradle
The one who raised me
Will be too fragile for this world

Ooh pretty things are yours to hold
My pretty thinig soon you will know
Pretty things you think you need
But not what make you beautiful
Pretty things will rob you blind
Pretty things will fade with time
It's what's inside that makes you shine
My pretty thing

Selfless and faithful
As good as you should be
Open and fearless
Oh what a gift you gave me

Pretty things are yours to hold
My pretty thinig soon you will know
Pretty things you think you need
But not what make you beautiful
Pretty things will rob you blind
Pretty things will fade with time
What lives inside of you still shines
My pretty thing

My pretty thing
Pretty thing

UPPER HAND

LeAnn Rimes, Darrell Brown, Troy Verges

Honey on a teaspoon, sugar in a bowl
An eager man's always an easy catch
Butter on the skillet
Whiskey in a glass
To start a flame you've got to light a match

Oooo-ooh-ooh, you got what he wants, you got what he wants
Oooo-ooh-ooh
Gotta get a hold, gotta get a hold, get a hold of your man
Better get him while, better get him while, better get him while you can
Good to be a lion, good to be a lion instead of a lamb
Use what you got take the upper hand

Always be a lady
But tease him like a tramp
A temptation that's hard to resist
Treat him like a hero
Let him long to be your slave
Take advantage of your God given gift

Oooo-ooh-ooh, you got what he wants, you got what he wants
Oooo-ooh-ooh
Gotta get a hold, gotta get a hold, get a hold of your man
Better get him while, better get him while, better get him while you can
Good to be a lion, good to be a lion instead of a lamb
Use what you got take the upper hand

Generations before will testify it's true
Girl your gonna see how much he really loves you

Oh yeah

Yeah, gotta get a hold, gotta get a hold, get a hold of your man
Better get him while, better get him better, better get him while you can
Good to be a lion, good to be a lion instead of a lamb
Use what you got take the upper hand
(Use what you've got) upper hand
(Use what you've got) take the upper hand

ONE DAY TOO LONG

LeAnn Rimes, Dean Sheremet, Darrell Brown

You've been gone, you've been gone
You've been gone one day, one day too long

I'm the kind of woman who understands
How the road can be so hard on a travelling man
I don't mind giving you a little room to breathe
But then you go and take advantage of my generosity
I'm home, waiting, alone, aching
Your time's run out 'cause
Yesterday this love could have been saved
Just crawl back out ain't no way

You've been gone, you've been gone
You've been gone one day, one day too long

See, I ain't a once in a while kind of thang
You see, love is being here for each other
Even with you standing right here, right now
Right in front of my face
You're still looking right through me
Well, let me clear something up for you honey
I called you up
Told you I was
Missing, needing to be soothed by you
Keep your reasons
I'm done pleasing
Ain't it funny now
I'm leaving
And you're the one who's being left behind
God sent me a man who will give me my time

You've been gone, you've been gone
You've been gone one day, one day too long

You've been gone
You've been gone one day, one day
You've been gone one day, one day
You've been gone one day, one day too long

Oh ain't it sad to see me go

You've been gone
One day, one day too long

WHAT I CANNOT CHANGE

LeAnn Rimes, Darrell Brown

I know what makes me comfortable
And I know what makes me tick
And when I need to get my way I know how to pour it on thick
Cream and sugar in my coffee
Right away when I awake
I face the day and pray to God I won't make the same mistakes
Oh the rest is out of my hands

I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

I don't know my father
Or my mother well enough
It seems like every time we talk
We can't get past the little stuff
The pain is self-inflicted
I know it's not good for my health
But it's easier to please the world
Then it is to please myself
Oh the rest is out of my hands

I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

Right now I can't care about how everyone else will feel
I have enough hurt of my own to heal

I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

'TIL WE AIN'T STRANGERS

DUET WITH BON JOVI

It might be hard to be lovers
But it's harder to be friends
Baby pull down the covers
It's time you let me in
Maybe light a couple of candles
I'll just go ahead and lock the door
If you just talk to me baby
'Til we ain't strangers anymore

Lay your head on my pillow
I sit beside you on the bed
Don't you think it's time we say
Some things we have to say
It aint too late to get back to that place
Back to where we thought it was before
Why don't you look at me
'Til we ain't strangers anymore

Sometimes it's hard to love me
Sometimes it's hard to love you too
I know it's hard believing
That love can pull us through
It would be so easy
To live your life
With one foot out the door
Just hold me baby
'Til we ain't strangers anymore

It's hard to find forgivness
When we just run out of lies
It's hard to say you're sorry
When you can't tell wrong from right
It would be so easy (so easy)
To spend your whole damn life
Just keeping score
So let's get down to it baby
There ain't no need to lie
Tell me who you think you see
When you look into my eyes
Let's put our two hearts back together
And we'll leave the broken pieces on the floor
Make love with me baby
'Til we aint strangers anymore

We're not strangers anymore
We're not strangers
We're not strangers anymore

WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE LIKE THAT

DUET WITH REBA MCENTIRE

I think it was me
It must have been me
I guess I did something wrong
I tried too hard
Wanted too much
I guess that's why it's gone
I lost my pride, I falled and cried
I felt like a little kid
What's wrong with me?
Still can't believe
I did the things I did

I couldn't change him
He was gonna break my heart
I saw it comin
Yeah I knew it from the start

When you love (when you love)
When you love someone like that
When you give what you can't take back
When you love (when you love)
With all your heart and soul
It's so hard to let it go
When you love someone like that, yeah
When you love someone like that

Girl it aint right, it just aint right
Don't tell yourself that it was you
You followed your heart, you gave it your best
There's nothin more you can do
Guys like him are like the wind
And you know it's just too bad
They blow in and out again and never know what they had

Girl I can tell ya
He'll do the same to someone else
It aint about you
So don't be so hard on yourself

When you love (when you love)
When you love someone like that
When you give what you can't take back
When you love (when you love)
With all your heart and soul
It's so hard to let it go
When you love someone like that, yeah
When you love someone like that

Oh we've all loved and lost, it's happened to us all
I hear what you're sayin but I feel like the only one
You might feel right but you're not
You're alright (I'm alright)
You're ok (I'm ok)
You're gonna make it anyway

When you love someone like that
When you love someone like that
...
