JUST BE THERE FOR HER (Cooper/Jones)
© All Rights Reserved 2023

So many questions
I can’t answer them all
Just make a few suggestions
Keep the writings off the wall
Who am I to really say
I’ve messed up time and time again
There’s a price you have to pay
You must understand, my friend

Just be there for her
Whenever she may need you
Just be there for her
Whoever may succeed you
Face the fact, you can’t go back to the way things were
And just be there for her

You built a life together
That looked solid from the start
Then came some stormy weather
And you let it fall apart
Now she faces decisions
And you can’t stand in her way
Whatever she envisions
If you want a part to play

Just be there for her
Whenever she may need you
Just be there for her
Whoever may succeed you
Face the fact, you can’t go back to the way things were
And just be there for her

Who knows if down the line
When and if the scars are healed
You might gently cross her mind
And find a landing field

Just be there for her
Whenever she may need you
Just be there for her
Whoever may succeed you
Face the fact, you can’t go back to the way things were
And just be there for her
Just be there for her
Just be there for her
Just be there for her

Just Be There for Her

From A Flicker To A Flame
2023 Cooper Jones 
               
What is it with me                        
Why do I always fall
I’m a gambler it seems                                       
Push my chips to risk it all  
                            
Again my heart has wings                            
And it’s fluttering around                      
Lost in dang’rous dreams                                        
Fetch the net to bring it down

CHORUS
Oh here I go again 
From a flicker to a flame
Can’t seem to help myself
I know I am to blame

Something’s stirring up inside 
I’m not gonna let it die
It’s growing, getting bigger
From a flicker to a flame 
                
VERSE
My old heart leaps                          
It’s happy once again                      
With you around all day                          
My limits know no end 
                             
I see beauty in your soul                                 
It’s a gift I’ve always owned              
To find the best in someone is
Jane from Pride & Prejudice 

CHORUS
So here I go again 
From a flicker to a flame
Can’t seem to help myself
I know I am to blame

Something’s stirring up inside 
I’m not gonna let it die
It’s growing, getting bigger
From a flicker to a flame 

BRIDGE
My heart has been asleep
Dormant without a need 
All for crushes that crushed me
I locked and threw away the key 

CHORUS
So here I go again 
From a flicker to a flame
Can’t seem to help myself
I know I am to blame

Something’s stirring up inside 
I’m not gonna let it die
It’s growing, getting bigger
From a flicker to a flame 
It’s growin’ gettin’ bigger from a flicker to a flame

From A Flicker To A Flame

IT’S MESSY…BUT IT’S OURS (Cooper/Jones)
© All Rights Reserved 2023

There are clothes and toys strewn all over the place
The neighbours think the front lawn’s a disgrace
The kitchen and bathroom both need a deep clean
But sloppily and slovenly, we’re living the dream

One day we might get on top of it all
But right now, we’re too busy having a ball
Where some see weeds, we see flowers
Heavens to Betsy! It’s messy…but it’s ours

You drive a rust bucket; I ride an old bike
Both of us going wherever we like
The kids run wild and ignore all routine 
Careless and carefree, just living the dream

One day we might get on top of it all
But right now, we’re too busy having a ball
Where some see rowdiness, we see special powers
Heavens to Betsy! It’s messy…but it’s ours

Sometimes the week lasts longer than the money
But we don’t mind surviving on bread and honey  
‘Cos there’s always lots of love and laughter on the scene
Slapdash and slap-happy, we’re living the dream

One day we might get on top of it all
But right now, we’re too busy having a ball
Where some see woes, we see wows
Heavens to Betsy! It’s messy…but it’s ours
Heavens to Betsy! It’s messy…but it’s ours

It's Messy...but It's Ours

That Sweet Moment 
2023 Cooper/Jones

Sleeping beauty now awake
Like a song that just hit play 
I’m doing somersaults with glee 
It’s the affect you have on me

Are you leaving little signs 
Hints to read between the lines 
Am I imagining these things 
Seeing what I want to see  

CHORUS 
That sweet moment 
When my stomach does a little flip
That sweet moment 
Did my heart leap or did it skip
That sweet moment 
With tingles up and down my skin 
That sweet moment 
When I feel something new begin 

VERSE 
That smile you always give me
I’m a princess in Walt Disney
How you’re always looking sharp 
Oh be still my beating heart

VERSE 
And you’re bringing out my best 
At last I’m jumping out of bed
Can I keep this good thing going
Or is my affection showing 

CHORUS
That sweet moment 
When my stomach does a flip
That sweet moment 
Did my heart leap or did it skip
That sweet moment 
With tingles up and down my skin 
That sweet moment 
When I feel something new begin 

BRIDGE 
We are the perfect match 
Sounds cliché but it’s a fact 
It’s like I somehow know 
We’d take the challenge just to grow 

CHORUS
That sweet moment 
When my stomach does a flip
That sweet moment 
Did my heart leap or did it skip?
That sweet moment 
With tingles up and down my skin 
That sweet moment 
When I feel something new begin

That Sweet Moment

EVERY NOW AND THEN (Cooper/Jones)
© All Rights Reserved 2023

Every now and then a day arrives when you’re not ready
The pieces aren’t in place and it doesn’t feel right
You go from room to room but your steps are unsteady
Can’t concentrate on anything or focus on the light

Every now and then
Who knows why or when
We slip beneath the bar we’ve raised so high
Count from one to ten
But if that fails, my friend
It’s okay every now and then to cry

Every now and then a doubt filled thought'll cross your mind
Making you unsure of what your heart holds dear
Uncertain of yourself and unable to unwind
Decisions can’t be made and the answers aren’t clear

Every now and then
Who knows why or when
We slip beneath the bar we’ve raised so high
Count from one to ten
But if that fails, my friend
It’s okay every now and then to cry

If you just let it go
Let those teardrops flow
Taking with them all your miseries
A new day will dawn tomorrow

Every now and then
Who knows why or when
We slip beneath the bar we’ve raised so high
Count from one to ten
But if that fails, my friend
It’s okay every now and then to cry

Count from one to ten
But if that fails, my friend
It’s okay every now and then to cry

Every Now and Then

PREVENTING A CATASTROPHE
© Cooper/Jones 2023

Well…the boulder was a-thunderin’ right down the hill
Below, the folks in their beds layin’ sleepy and still
Not for the first time, the onus was on me
To act fast, preventing a catastrophe

And the train was a-hurtlin’ all over the track
Out of control, no way to stop or turned back
How come it’s always my responsibility
To act fast, preventing a catastrophe

Seems like I’m always on high alert
To dig dodgy situations out of the dirt
Hardly get any downtime to spend on me
Always acting fast, preventing a catastrophe

Hell…the two great world leaders were havin’ a spat
Each tryin’ to second guess the other’s line of attack
Once more, I had to step in and do what needs be
To act fast, preventing a catastrophe

Sarah-Mae and Willy, clearly made for each other
But Sarah-Mae tipped a subtle wink to Willie’s big brother
I had to, given Willie’s temper, save all three
To act fast, preventing a catastrophe

It’s twenty-four/seven, with no let up or release
I’ll only get some peaceful rest, the day I rest in peace
Gotta go now, there’s a ship that’s lost at sea
Always acting fast, preventing a catastrophe

Preventing a Catastrophe

Her Quarry Never Gets Caught
2023 Georgie Cooper

VERSE
She wants to be in his arms at night
And in his thoughts by day
She has loved him in secret for a long while
But he doesn’t see her that way

VERSE 
He is wed to another though she treats him wrong
She thinks she’s the better for him
So the days come and go and the years tumble on
Her love light never grows dim


CHORUS
He is always on her mind
She longs to be his wife
It’s a long shot and she gives all she’s got
But her quarry never gets caught 


VERSE
She admires how he works from dusk to day’s end
When he’s tired he never complains 
She’s the one he comes to when he needs a friend 
Not the beauty but she has the brains

CHORUS
He is always on her mind
She longs to be his wife
It’s a long shot and she gives all she’s got
But her quarry never gets caught 

It’s a long shot and she gives all she’s got
But her quarry never gets caught

Mama always said
We all make our own beds
And tonight I'm sleeping,   in mine all alone
I trusted that man
As much as a woman can
Then he took off with everything I own

Chorus:
You know who
Has turned my life to you know what
Yeah, he took damn near everything I've got
He emptied out my bank account
And didn't leave me squat
You know who
Has turned my life to you know what

My friends oughta know
How I should let him go
'cause I've been filling them in on the truth
He had two faces
That took him to new places
He used me up and then he cut me loose

Chorus:
You know who
Has turned my life to you know what
Yeah, he took damn near everything I've got
He emptied out my bank account
And didn't leave me squat
You know who
Has turned my life to you know what

Bridge:
Someday I pray he'll find someone who's like him
And they'll leave him hanging on some lonely limb
Guess they ain't no way but up when you're this far down
And right now...without a doubt...I've completely unwound

Chorus:
You know who
Has turned my life to you know what
Yeah, he took damn near everything I've got
He emptied out my bank account
And didn't leave me squat
You know who
Has turned my life to you know what

You Know Who

THERE ARE SEVEN DAYS OF THE WEEK AND SOMEDAY AIN’T ONE OF ‘EM
© Cooper/Jones 2023
 
Someday, you say, you’ll quit your rowdy ways
I’ve been waiting fifteen years for you to get through that phase
Someday, you say, you’ll turn this ship around
But I don’t see that happenin’  it’s nearly run aground
Just to remind you, in case you have forgotten

There are seven days of the week and someday ain’t one of ‘em
Someday, you say, we’ll take a trip away
But there’s always a reason for no holiday

Someday, you say, you’ll make it up to me
But your promises fade into eternity
Just to set things straight, we’ve got ourselves a problem
There are seven days of the week and someday ain’t one of ‘em
 
Time was, I trusted you and felt reassured
That you were reliable, a man of your word
Now, as the months go by, we’re stuck in a rut
Alarm bells are ringin’ so, maybe time’s up
 
Someday, you say, you’ll get your act together
And the burdens we carry, will be light as a feather
Someday, you say, we’ll reach Shangri-la
But no way, I say, with you like you are
 
I’m layin’ it on the line, It’s gettin’ tired and wearisome
There are seven days of the week and someday ain’t one of ‘em
There are seven days of the week and someday ain’t one of ‘em

There Are Seven Days Of The Week And Someday Ain't One Of 'Em

Love Just Happens
Graham/Daniel/Cooper/Burozski

You won't expect it
But there it'll be
You'll try to reject it
But take it from me
You can't hide
From the flames of passion
'cause usually Love..just happens

Your turn is coming 
Sooner than you imagine
'cause usually love..just happens

Love just happens
There's nothin' you can do
And if it hasn't
It’s coming to you

Don't rush into reason
When love’s on the line
Although it's seemin'
You've plenty of time
It will overcome you
In it's own fashion
'cause usually love..just happens

Love just happens
There's nothin' you can do...
Love just happens
There's nothin' you can do
And if it hasn't
It’s coming to you

Yeah once old cupid's arrows fly
You can just kiss your heart goodbye...mwah

Love just happens
There's nothin' you can do
And if it hasn't
It’s coming to you

Love just happens
There's nothin' you can do
And if it hasn't
It’s coming to you

Love Just Happens

FLIRTATIONSHIP
2023 Cooper/Jones
