CAUGHT UP IN A FEELING I'm so intoxicated My head is spinning around Is this what everybody's talking about, girl? I never wanna come down 'Cause my heart's been rearranged And everything has changed I'm floating up in the sky I'm so high Caught up in a feeling I'm under your spell Can't you tell You've got me believing in forever Caught up in a feeling tonight Hold me up I'm so dizzy Got X's over my eyes I never thought that it could happen to me, girl What a lovely surprise And I finally crossed the line I've gotta make you mine Start the engine on my heart And I'm headed for the stars
2.
READY FOR SOMETHING GOOD Dark storm clouds in my head Gotta fight to get outta bed Wanna pull the covers up and hide So tired of the misery Life is getting the best of me But today is gonna be the day I'm ready for something good I know it's bound to happen I'm ready for something good I can tell it won't be long I'm ready for something good And I'll be the last one laughing 'Cause a better day A better day is waiting for me Pick myself up off the floor Cup o' coffee and I'm out the door I guess I'll take it one day at a time Fake a smile and stand up straight Try my best not to show up late 'Cause today things could go my way Soon I will be flying so high Things will come so easily I'll kiss all of my troubles bye-bye 'Cause that's the way it's meant to be Right?
3.
A GIRL THAT I LIKE There's a girl that I like And she's coming by at 12 Until then I'll be counting down the time And we kissed a few times I'm not sure what it means But ever since she's always on my mind And any minute she'll be comin' down that hall It seems so innocent but it's really not at all There's a girl that I like I'm not sure how to tell her but I'm doin' it tonight There's a girl that I like I don't know what we're headed for but she's the girl that I like And the second that she leaves My stomach's all in knots I walk in circles cursing at the wall If I stare at my phone for another hour or two Maybe somehow I can make her call And all my friends say that I just ain't bein' me I'm such an awful mess and everyone can see I thought I'd felt like this before but I I've never felt like this before and I I wanna feel like this forevermore She's the girl that I like Is she the one that I will love 'til I grow old? Or just one more disaster waiting to unfold?
4.
DON'T FUCK IT UP We got the kind of love that people write songs about And in the morning when I wake up I'm so happy that it freaks me out And I've never felt this way We're perfect in every single way Don't fuck it up Don't fuck it up We got a good thing going Baby don't fuck it up Your kiss is on my list and I don't ever wanna cross it off And once you get me g-g-going girl you make it impossible to stop, yeah And I know you feel it too It doesn't have to be too good to be true (Baby baby don't let me down) (Listen to me I ain't kidding around) This is awesome and you know it So baby try not to blow it 'Cause this'll only happen once or twice (I'm sorry if it sounds a little profane) (No other words really say it the same)
5.
Biography 04:04
BIOGRAPHY Pretend I don't exist Deny we ever kissed Pass me off as a big mistake But I'm the best one that you'll ever make Take back all your friends Tie up your loose ends Tell the world that you feel alright But I know it keeps you up at night You can write me out of your biography But you can't take me out of your memory Your fact is fiction and we both know I'm the best part of your story I'm the best part of your story Play your childish game Refuse to speak my name Hold your pride like a loaded gun But you're not foolin' anyone A dream you can't escape The tale's right on the tape You had my love, you just watched it die And you always had an alibi Pretend I don't exist Pretend you wanted this We're the best part of your story No one will ever love you The way I used to love you No one will ever love you No one will ever love you
6.
WHOEVER'S AROUND You don't love me, you just love whoever's around, baby Don't think I don't see you lovin' everybody in town, baby The look in your eye is deceiving 'cause as soon as I am leaving You find a new me, you just love whoever's around, baby Well the first time we met, I thought we had a special attraction It didn't take long to get, I was just another distraction, yeah The beautiful lies you're tellin' And they're buying what you're sellin' But soon they're gonna see, you just love whoever's around, baby (Whoever's around) Someone to listen (Whoever's around) To pay attention And tell you that you're pretty Make you smile when you feel down Whoever's around, baby And it's an endless war you're fighting 'Cause sleeping alone is frightening And you'll never be free, you just love whoever's around, baby When you're lookin' for whoever I won't be around, baby
7.
I DON'T WANNA GO HOME IF YOU'RE NOT THERE I drive these streets for hours Destination: I don't care You've left your trail of memories everywhere There's no way I'm going back now So tired of feeling bad In a house full of cruel reminders of what we had Don't wanna fall asleep in the bed where we made love Don't wanna wake up all alone again How can I carry on? You're all I'm dreamin' of I don't wanna go home I don't wanna go home if you're not there Your dress hangs in the closet And your makeup's on the shelf Being there alone without you is a living hell So I'll drive these streets for hours Watch the sunset turn to black I won't turn these wheels around 'til you're comin' back Don't wanna spend the night in the room where we broke up Don't wanna wake up all alone again How can I carry on? You're all I'm dreamin' of I don't wanna go home I don't wanna go home if you're not there The ghost of you is haunting me And your voice is in my head Time won't make it fade away
8.
TRYIN' TO BE GOOD No, I can't go with you down to the bar To have a drink or two No, I can't go with you down to the bar I've got work to do But if you ask me again tomorrow night There's a pretty good chance I would But tonight, I'm tryin' to be good No I can't come over to lie in your bed You know I got a wife No I can't come over to lie in your bed It just wouldn't be right But if you ask me again tomorrow night There's a pretty good chance I would But tonight, I'm tryin' to be good Why do I always do the wrong thing? Why does it have to feel so right? Maybe I'll find a new direction If I can just make it through tonight No I can't try one of those little pills I'm sure they're really great No I can't try one of those little pills It's gonna have to wait But if you ask me again tomorrow night There's a really good chance I would But tonight Tonight Tonight, I'm tryin' to be good
9.
Beth 02:41
BETH Beth I hear you callin' But I can't come home right now Me and the boys are playin' And we just can't find the sound Just a few more hours And I'll be right home to you I think I hear them callin' Oh Beth what can I do? Beth what can I do? You say you feel so empty That our house just ain't a home I'm always somewhere else And you're always there alone Just a few more hours And I'll be right home to you I think I hear them callin' Oh Beth what can I do? Beth what can I do? Beth I know you're lonely And I hope you'll be alright 'Cause me and the boys'll be playin' All night
10.
IF YOU DON'T LOVE ME YOU GOTTA LET ME GO I'm packing all my t-shirts up in boxes I got my guitar, you can have the rest I'm leavin' but this isn't what I wanted Don't start cryin' It's too late for a show You knew just what I needed all along If you don't love me, you gotta let me go My best just wasn't good enough, I'm gone I heard you found a new heart to hold on to I guess you had no problem movin' on I had no idea how desperately I'd want you I offered you my blue skies All you gave me back was wind and rain We always got the verse right But we kept getting stuck on the refrain I'm tryin' to live my life and just be happy And you still know just how to ruin my day You don't want anybody else to have me Your best just wasn't good enough
11.
WHEN IT'S QUIET When it's quiet I can finally think All of my cares float away When it's quiet When it's quiet Life is so nice to live There's not enough hours in the day When it's quiet When it's quiet But there's not a peaceful moment in this town Noisy people follow me around And I'm getting scared I'm gonna lose my mind Unless there's somewhere quiet I can find When it's quiet Music plays in my head My own private symphony
