Hello...x

Hello

Hello, ive had you on my mind
for hours theres no doubt
theres no use wasting time

Hello, how could i ever feel this way?
with so much left to say
so much on my mind

I know theres no use
in trying harder
i got to gage and barter to get out

cause baby you start and then you stop
and my heart beats big before it drops
and i dont know what to do

uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh

sit back, let me love grow good for you

hello, my god your beautiful
its true, everyday i stumble
getting caught up on you

now i, i never been so amused
there aint nothing left to prove
i aint got nothing to loose

cause baby, ive been lightly drinking
and a little bit too heavy on the thinking
wont you tell me something good

cause baby you start
and then you stop
and my heart beats big before it drops
and i dont know whats to do

uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh uh uh, uh

sit back and let my love grow good for you
sit back and let my love grow good for you

so baby whatcha waiting, whatcha waiting, whatcha waiting for?

Echo

Well isn't it like you have 'em all fooled
stand tall walking proud, now you're breaking the rules
tell me honey, are you feeling just a little displaced?
let down and alone now, what a bad bad taste

'cause when I hear you say my name
I don't feel the same
start to feel like I might break
and it's more than I can take
no use in trying to make me stay
when I'm already on my way
when I go you're gonna hear it echo
when I go, when I go you're gonna hear it echo

Now things just ain't what they used to be
2 years gone by and now it's just a memory
I tried to explain the reasons why
step up or step down, come on baby pick a side

'Cause when I hear you say my name
I don't feel the same
start to feel like I might break
and it's more than I can take
no use in trying to make me stay
when I'm already on my way
when I go you're gonna hear it echo
when I go, when I go you're gonna hear it echo

Oh start your running, no no no
start your running, no no no
'cause baby I don't wanna see your face round here no more
oh start your running, no no no
start your running, no no no
'cause baby I don't wanna see your face round here no more

'Cause when I hear you say my name
I don't feel the same
start to feel like I might break
and it's more than I can take
no use in trying to make me stay
when I'm already on my way
when I go you're gonna hear it echo
when I go, when I go you're gonna hear it echo
'cause baby...
lately its gotten too much to take
I don't know if I can let it go
some point I know I will break and when I do, when I do you're gonna hear it echo
when I do, when I do you're gonna hear it echo
when I do, you're gonna hear it echo
when I do, you're gonna hear it echo
when I do, you're gonna hear it echo

California Girl

I'll let you fall in love with me
show you how easy it can be
California girl of your dreams
sitting by the sea shore
soaking up the summer breeze

Never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
for that old trick again
never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
for that old trick again

I can't believe I even came
don't even know your name
boy you know that ain't my scene
but you gotta play by the rules if you ever
gonna win the game

Never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
for that old trick again
never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
for that old trick again

Oh yes my words were true
true to the moment and true to you
but fear will help you make your move
sweet kisses in the summer taste soft like honeydew

Never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
for that old trick again
Never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
for that old trick again
Never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
for that old trick again
Never gonna fall, I'm never gonna fall
for that old trick again

Madly

Im not surprised that you still call
im not surprised
im more surprised that i dont answer
pick up the phone to call you back
pick up the phone to call you back
aint it funny how things work out like that

cause the time that it takes
to open my eyes
is the time that it took me
to realize

madly madly madly
tell me that you need me
show me im the only
thats all i need to know
madly madly madly
well if you really love me
when you see me leaving baby
just let me go

well ive been good, no i been great
you say your in a better place
honestly im happy for you
but theres a tone in my voice
it gives away my selfish choice
could my heart beat any faster

cause the time that it takes
to pass me by
is the time that it took me
to realize
madly madly madly
tell me that you need me
show me im the only
thats all i need to know
madly madly madly
well if you really love me
when you see me leaving baby
just let me go

we give it up
try to find
what was with us all the time
gotta lose some things if you ever gonna get em back
who was wrong, who was right
always end up in a fight
i thought i won, but now i find

madly madly madly
if you really love me
when you see me leaving
just let me go

madly madly madly
tell me that you need me
show me im the only
thats all i need to know know know know

madly madly madly
well if you really love me
when you see me leaving
just let it go

madly madly
tell me that you love me
when you see me leaving
just let me go

Blindfold

Don't I seem better
don't I seem just fine
I've been writing you love letters
one at a time

Keep my thoughts in order
put my love on the line
but you came along
took it all down
put your laundry up to dry

No matter how hard I try
don't think you'll ever see
that your love is a perfect blindfold for me

You swim in and out of my heart
like a fish in a bowl
it's getting warmer with summer approaching
but still my feet are cold

and no matter how hard I try
don't think you'll ever see
that you're love is a perfect blindfold for me

Alone is good for me
it's where I'd rather be
but I could always use the company
when no one else will do and I will want you
yeah, I still want you...
and no one else will do

Go on push me away
it's the least you could do
my eyes are soar and my feet are tired
baby, I'm sick of chasing you

And no matter how hard I try
don't think you'll ever see
that your love is a perfect blindfold for me
no matter how hard I try
don't think you'll ever see
that you're love is a perfect blindfold
for me

Handshake

Hey boy where you leaving to
always leaving all the time
wanna get caught up to you
gonna figure how to make you mine
know I love it when we're together
don't it always feel so right
love to fall asleep when you hold me
wake up and make love in the morning time

Saying love, love is a funny thing
when you're taking more than you can bring
saying love, love is a funny thing
don't get caught up in the moment
'cause boy, I got your love right here,
don't blow it
no baby don't you blow it

Hey boy, how come you feel this way
for a little longer I will try to make you stay
don't wanna make this hard
but I'm so wound up I might fall apart
you know girls go wild for your east coast style
happens more than once in a while
think I know just where your coming from
up against the wall with my clothes all coming undone

Saying love, love is a funny thing
when you're taking more than you can bring
saying love, love is a funny thing
don't get caught up in the moment
'cause boy, I got your love right here,
don't blow it
no baby don't you blow it

And now I'm picking up the pieces that you left behind
and it ain't so easy when you're flooding my mind
I try to stay steady but I love my grip
you got the kind of love that ain't easy to quit
never hesitate to be taking it slow
you got the moves putting on one hell of a show
always stopping by, never letting me know
but the end you got me begging baby please don't go
no baby don't go

'Cause I'm talking about love,
love is a funny thing
when you're taking more than you can bring
saying love, love is a funny thing
don't get caught up in the moment
'cause boy, I got your love right here,
don't blow it
no baby don't you blow it

Now it's blowing in the wind
oh it's blowing in the wind
tell me what did I get myself into this time
'cause it's blowing in the wind
it's blowing in the wind
don't get caught up in the moment
'cause boy I got your love right here,
don't blow it

War Out of Peace

Well there are times when you know
when you should stay, when you should go
but you don't
rehearse the lines in your head
you know what needs to be said
but it all comes out bad
and if it's space that you need
if time is falling at your feet
walking away empty
love is a crazy dream

is it what you want
is it what you need
we go back and forth
making war out of peace
and you won't let go
and I won't give up
we go round and round
but is it ever enough
is it ever enough

lately I'm falling away
growing more quiet by the day
not really sure
why I feel this way
I guess I got a little scared
someone could actually care
this time, just might be something there
and if it's change that you need
a little more mysetery
some kind of deeper meaning

love is a crazy dream

is it what you want
is it what you need
we go back and forth
making war out of peace
and you won't let go
and I won't give up
we go round and round
but is it ever enough
is it ever enough

I'm sure I'll mess t all up
I'm sure I'll try to convince myself
that I just need to be
but waht I want to be is
something else, someone else

So why did we cross the line
mess it all up with the time
and in the end just assume it'll be alright?

is it what you want
is it what you need
we go back and forth
making war out of peace
and you won't let go
and I won't give up
we go round and round
but is it ever enough
is it what you want
is it what you need
we go back and forth
making war out of peace
and you won't let go
and I won't give up
no I won't give up
no I won't give up

You Got Me

Tell me you love me
that I don't know how much you mean it
everytime you look into my eyes
you make sure that I can see it
I can't recall if I ever felt this way before
and if I did, wouldn't want those feelings
hanging around here anymore

Just so you know
you got me
nothing in the whole wide world could ever stop me
if you got love, got love to give
just keep giving it up and someone will
let you in
and just, so you know
you got me

Everyday you write it down
just so I can read it
the best thing that ever happened to you
you know I wanna be it
I can't recall if I ever had a love I truly missed
and if I did, it wasn't no love compared to this

Just so you know
you got me
nothing in the whole wide world could ever
stop me
if you got love, got love to give
just keep giving it up and someone will
let you in
and just, so you know

You got me waiting
learning my patience
won't you hurry up and rescue me
there's so much talking
it's all I wanted

Just so you know
you got me
nothing in the whole wide world could ever
stop me
'cause if you got love, got love to give
oh just giving it up and someone will let you in
and just so you know
you got me
nothing in the whole wide world could ever stop me
'cause if you got love
love love to give
oh just keep giving it up
and giving it up
and giving it up
and just so you know
you got me

Don't Work Yourself Up

I might run off at any given time
don't leave no notes there ain't no reason to lie
guess I haven't found what I'm looking for
can't keep my hands to myself
or my eyes off the door

Is it any wonder that I'm on to the next
I'll be the first one to tell you
and the last to forget
don't let me drag you into this bitterness
sometimes I don't even understand the
half of it

Don't work yourself up
don't work yourself up
don't work yourself up
too much, too much love

Don't work yourself up
don't work yourself up
don't work yourself up
too much, too much love

Sometimes I can't stand to be apart
I walk around this city, alone 'til it's dark
and if the sadness won't ever go away
I suppose I'll build it a home
so it has a nice place to stay

Most of the time I don't mind the company
but God I wish you would stay
why do you have to leave?
seems like we always want what we can't have
but that's just life baby, you can't get mad

When there's no one to blame
and nothing here to see
you don't call, I don't blame you
I don't even trust me

Don't work yourself up
don't work yourself up
don't work yourself up
too much, too much, love

Don't work yourself up
don't work yourself up
don't work yourself up
too much, too much, love

I want to love you but I don't know how

and this happens all the time
oh yes it happens all the time

A Little Bit

Three days round 3 o'clock
rain does start to fall
downpour on the whole damn block
so loud on the brick walls

Don't go making this easy
don't go making this hard
'cause when you come around
eyes so blue
you know I can't ignore, no I can't ignore

You got something I want
just a little bit
you got something I need
just a little bit
no matter how hard I try to fight it
you're gonna bring this girl to her knees

'Cause everybody got places to go
and people to see
everybody got plenty of time
but they don't know how to set it free
so why don't you come back
come back to me
baby come on back
come back to me

You got something I want
just a little bit
you got something I need
just a little bit
no matter how hard I try to fight it
you're gonna bring this girl to her knees

yes you're gonna bring this girl to her knees

bringing it up, bring it down to my knees

Interviews

Am I sick of giving the same answers
are you sick of asking the same questions
if we go round and round repeating
we ain't got no direction

And this system falling apart
I can't believe it all started
at the heart of the matter of fact
I'd put it all in, but I won't get it back

And my love, my love
the only thing that is stable
when my time is all tied up
but my heart is able

So come on
'cause I won't let you down
and when I come around
I'll be good as new
so don't give up on me so soon
these interviews with who
can't tell the rumors from the truth
don't let it get the best of you
and don't give up on me so soon

Did the travel ever catch you in a hurry
I can't believe I even began to worry
in the big picture, we're all so small
we get caught up, forgetting that we fall
everything about it takes time to grow
so just learn to be loose, and let it all go
'cause the time goes by, so damn fast
we try to build it all up but is it ever
gonna last?

And my love, my love
the only thing that is stable
when my time is all tied up
but my heart is able

So come on
'cause I won't let you down
and when I come around
I'll be good as new
so don't give up on me so soon
these interviews with who
can't tell the rumors from the truth
don't let it get the best of you
and don't give up on me so soon

In Bloom

Our love fell out of winter
along with leaves
and bloomed into spring
taking all of our chances
and all of our dreams
and turned 'em into possibilities

I wanna know
waht you're thinking
when you're lying in your bed late at night
trying to keep so still
my heart is pounding
and its trying just to keep up with the time

I am not yours
you are not mine

Trees sway, seasons change
and so did my heart
we bend 'til we break
and then we fall apart
you made your point
and I rest my case
my dear, you're just a little bit too late

I wanna know
waht you're thinking
when you're lying in your bed late at night
trying to keep so still
my heart is pounding
and its trying just to keep up with the time

I am not yours
you are not mine

God Gave Me Patience (called Letting Go in her earlier live performances)

God gave me patience
patience to breath
god give me reasons
to not cry anymore bout anything

god give me time
time to think this through
god give me something
something to keep my mind
off missin you

and in the afternoon while the sun gets low
i wish i there was some other direction to drive
somewhere else to go
but there's always one more thing i have to prove
there's always part of me missing you

so light the day
and invite me to stay
cause now i see
i was always on my way
just a little late

cause i cry lot
i cry out of fear
and itd be nice if
you was all that made up these tears
but its years and years

and in the afternoon while the sun gets low
i wish i there was some direction to drive
somewhere else to go
but if you never try
you'll never know
sometimes the best part of goodbye
is letting go

oh, but ive been dreaming of clear skies
oh, ive been dreaming of hometown coastlines
i would fly

so god give me patience
patience to see
within the chaos
there's always room to dream
just let it be
