(Verse 1)
I gave you everything but everything was never much
You didn't notice but I never thought of giving up
Nice clothes nice car anything you need
It wasn't empty I was making you a part of me 

What's mine was yours and yours was mine we were inseparable 
I can't believe that all your love was only fictional 
I gave you took like the IRS 
But all I got from you was words of hate and disrespect 

I kind of wondered in the back of my mind
If you were thinking about creepin one more time 
But I dismissed it cause I couldnt believe you could be so unkind 

(chorus) 
Well Im so glad I stood my ground
And protected all the best of what I am
And I will never let go no never let go 
feels like a weights been lifted 
Im feeling room to breathe and spread my wings again
and I'm never going back.
Cause I'm alive for the first time and I got back my youthful mind this time

(Verse 2)
i left behind the world I knew to share the one you had
I was committed to it all no matter good or bad 
Sacrificed my life my home my time. 
I had no reason not to think that we were doing fine. 

But then as time went on your started acting differently 
Whatever things you put inside you started hitting me 
We used to be everybody's favorite pair 
Till you started acting like you didn't even want me there 

I never wondered never questioned never had a doubt 
Until you shattered everything I ever cared about 
Until you ripped the rug from underneath my feet and went around behind my back and changed my whole reality. 

(chorus) 

(Bridge) 
Fool me once shame on you
fool me twice you and I are through
If it wasn't bad enough you put the blame on me
But it's not like Ididnt know
thats the way it was gonna go all along
I only asked you to give what I gave
how could that be so wrong?

(chorus)

I just emerged from a deep dark place yet another time
but I persevered 
and yes I'm still here

Took some time for me to realize that I'm doin just fine
and I'll make it through
its what I always do

When things hit bottom that's when I tend to really respond
sometimes I dont even know how I do

but I can feel it
my time is finally here
I can feel it
I know that there are better days to come
cause I'll make em that way myself.

(vamp for 4 measures)

For some reason I look for help in family and friends
and theyre always great
they help carry the weight.

but in the end there's only one person on whom I can depend
and that person is me
think by now I would see

all your friends and your family will tell you what you want to hear
cause they love you and thats what they want you to feel

but only you can make you feel it
my day is finally here
I can feel it
all the clouds have dissappeared
I can feel it
I have crawled out from my hell
I can feel it
I know that there are better days ahead
cause I'll make em that way myself.

[Bridge]
I just need to have a little faith
Just look how far I've come
I've done it on my own


Well I can feel it
My Time has finally come
And I can feel it
I can see how far I've come
I can feel it
I know what I can do
I can feel it
I know that there are brighter days ahead
because I'll make em that way myself.

mmm mm mm
Just look at how well I've done so far....so far
Look at how far I've come so far....so far
mmmmm

Suddenly the wind move south to north
Can I get a little bit of that back and forth
I got nothing to do I need to pass the time
And I remember when you told me what you told me last night

Come and throw a fastball at my head 
So I can charge the mound no matter what you said
Cause I can take it wrong or I can take it right
Doesn’t matter cause I’m looking for a wicked fight

Suddenly the curve goes another way
And my feet go up cause I’m swept away
Got a bunch of ammunition that ready to spray
So go on and tell me everything you wanted to say

Come on take you best shot hit me on the chin
And we’ll exchange a few blows cause I’m in it to win it
Cause every time you and I go toe to toe 
We go blow to blow
Until the war is over

Hey, got some bottled up emotion
Gonna release some tension tonight
Hey, once we set this thing in motion
I’ll be throwing words at you when we fight
Just like a wrecking ball

I can see the lines forming on your face
And I can tell you’re pissed so let’s cut to the chase
Cause I know, you gotta lotta shit you wanted to say
And I know you wouldn’t wanna say it any other way

Its a sure bet 
When I say what I say you’re gonna lose it
We don’t to worry bout the regret
We can cross that bridge and when the time comes
We’ll be picking up pieces.

Hey I been building this emotion
And I’m feeling so much tension tonight
I feel my blow come to a boil and I think I might spoil the night
Just like a Wrecking Ball

Hey got some bottled up emotion
Gonna release some tension tonight
Hey once we set this thing in motion
’ll be throwing words at you when we fight
Just like a wrecking ball
I feel my blow come to a boil and I think I might spoil the night
Just like a Wrecking Ball

Walkin down the street with the beat in your feet
Give a quick fist bump to everyone you meet
then you blow it up like an atom bomb
then you shoot dem suckers with your fingers and your thumb

and yer-  lookin good in your leisure suit
with your mirrored shades and your platform shoes
you got a - gold chain hanging round your neck
and a box ot tic tacs to keep your breath in check

when the -wind blows you could catch some air
cause your funky bell bottoms got a wicked flair
and you be tripping everybody with your facial hair
but your mini french poodle doesnt seem to care

and when the - funk hits you will shake your rump
and you'll be ownin everybody like yuou're donald trump
and you'll down a box of chocolates like you're forrest gump

and you'll be lightin up fools and smokin chumps

if anybody steps to you on the disco floor

you'll be lighting up fools and smokin chumps

you take your pocket comb out and run it through your fro
call every single homey in the world youir "bro"
and when you're called into question gotta act like you know
cause you're so dam cool it's like you're 20 below

when someone tries to roll you a basketball
now you're doctor J jumpin over them all
you throw a tomohawk jam down in their face
you're drainin three point shots all over the place

i say everybody everywhere
knows the super fly mo-fo doesnt care
you got a 10 gallon hat that you never wear

and you throw around money like a millionaire

you got enough funky energy to light times square

and you throw around money like a millionaire

[chorus]
people on the planet take their cue from you
cause they all know the cat who is hip to the groove

you gotta give me some skin you gotta hit me with the positive vibe come on now
you gotta hit me down low you gotta hit me with the high five 

people on the planet know whose jive to the bone
the second that they get a single whiff of your cologne

you gotta give me some skin you gotta hit me with the positive vibe come on now
you gotta tell me what you know gotta make me hip to the jive.



you got a brown chevy nova with a big v8
and you're rolling down the freeway rockin 8 track tapes
bumpin - big sly and the family stone
hittin everyon around you with the deep bass tone

you got a soul patch and a rolex watch
and you can solve any problem with a glass of scotch
you got a wink and a smile for everybody on the block
and you can keep the party going till its 5 o'clock.

and you can jump around like your house of pain
or like cypress hill you be insane in the brain
you got a pocket full of money and you're makin it rain
and when you finish gettin down you will do it again

if - being cool was a drop of rain 
you'd be cooler than a hundred thousand hurricaines
if - gettin down was a single brick
you'd be the the great wall of china 'cept a lot more thick

if - bein fly was a poke in the eye
you would be the three stooges on a sugar high
you gotta give me some skin you gotta hit me with the positive vibe.

Ready to Fall Again

(verse 1)
Its two oclock on a wednesday
And we're still awake
we both ran out of things to say
just for argument's sake

well the silence is deafening
and it fills every corner of the room

you want me to crack....I want you to crack...

I admit it was not ideal
but some things got said
I suppose that we both had it rattling around in our heads

But then it comes out like this
and we're picking up the pieces of ourselves.
and when all the smoke clears

(Chorus)
I'm ready to fall again
Hearing you call again
I'd do it all again
I just hope its not too late
If you still believe in me
just give me one opportunity
to show you how much you mean to me
in the spaces between all the words we say

(verse 2)
I see a shadow thats creeping up
as the sun comes through
its casting a dim light across your face
and now I see you

isnt it funny how when we scream and shout
we dont look into eachother's eyes?
and, When the hurt is done...

(Chorus)
I'm ready to fall again
Hearing you call again
I'd do it all again
I just hope its not too late
If you still believe in me
just give me one opportunity
to show you how much you mean to me
in the spaces between all the words we say

(Bridge)
All of the stress and strain
swirling around in our brain
driving us both insane
tear us up like a hurricaine
its not indicative
theres so much more that we have to give

(Chorus)
see I'm ready to fall again
Hearing you call again
I'd do it all again
I just hope its not too late
If you still believe in us
then lets work to rebuild the trust
thats been missing between us
in the spaces between ...

[v]
You know you're my special girl
my heart my soul my world
I'm sorry for the words I say
for huting you in any way

dont misinterpret me
it was never my intent to be
anything less than the man who stole your heart

[ch]
'cause baby I die just a little inside
every time that you tell me goodbye
you possess my time and my mind
and theyre yours forever
I'm begging you sift through the riverbed sand
catch all the gold before it leaves your hands
I know sometimes its hard to see
that youre the treasure I hold close
youre the thing that I love the most

[v]
I must have told you a million times
I cant see whats behind those eyes
but Ive been taking inventory
of all the joy and the pain in our story
and when I hold you tight
yeah thats when I realize
its the joy that means the most to me

[ch]
'cause baby I die just a little inside
every time that you tell me goodbye
you possess my time and my mind
and theyre yours forever
I'm begging you sift through the riverbed sand
catch all the gold before it leaves your hands
I know sometimes its hard to see
that youre the treasure I hold close
youre the thing that I love the most

[br]
I know sometimes we cant see eye to eye
then theres times when we cant look away from each others stare
this song's a love transfusion
I've only one conclusion
I'm down with me and you
tell me girl what you want to do...

[ch]
'cause baby I die just a little inside
every time that you tell me goodbye
you possess my time and my mind
and theyre yours forever
I'm begging you sift through the riverbed sand
catch all the gold before it leaves your hands
I know sometimes its hard to see
that youre the treasure I hold close
youre the thing that I love the most

I got JLo moves When no one’s lookin’ All by myself My hips shake like Shakira
I lose my cool Whenever you come near

I know, I know

Feel like a clown
Baby don't give up baby don't give up
I’m turned upside down
Baby don't give up baby don't give up
If I trip and fall
Baby at the center of it all is you

When I try to talk love
Sometimes my tongue trips on my teeth
Wanna write a poem
Except then everyone can see I’m 
no Mya Angelou
But at least this song says what is true

Can’t find the phrase
Baby don't give up baby don't give up
To sing out your praise
Baby don't give up baby don't give up
I just wanna say
That you're the place that all my roads lead to
Just you

Hear me, feel me, believe me when I say that I love you and I
Wouldn't have it any other way than the way it is today

I might play the fool
Baby don't give up baby don't give up
But my heart is true
Baby don't give up baby don't give up
I know it's not a lot
But music is the best way that I've got
to tell the truth to you

Hear me, feel me, believe me when I say that I love you and 
Wouldn't have it any other way than the way it is today
