Yeh, Yeeh!  
Oouw!  
Let's do it!  

Verse 1  
I met her under city skies,  
She moved like fire, set the night ablaze,  
With every look, I lost my way,  
She wrapped her charm around my thoughts.

Behind the mask, behind that smile,  
She was playing games all this while.  

Pre-Chorus 
She whispered love, but it was all a show,  
I see the truth now, the cold undertow, ooh!  

Chorus  
It's a fool's game, thought she was mine,  
But she danced away, living on borrowed time.  
She played me smooth, like a sweet refrain,  
I was blinded, but I’ve learned the pain.  
'Cause girl, you’ll find that karma’s real,  
You can't fake a love you don’t feel, woh!  

Bridge 
A love you don’t feel.  

Verse 2 
Said I was the only name on her lips,  
But the truth shone bright as the last light slips.  
Caught her in another's warm embrace,  
A broken heart, lost in her trace.  
Her kiss was poison, sweet yet cruel,  
She stole my light, sold my soul...  

Pre-Chorus 
She whispered love, but it was all a show,  
I see the truth now, the dark groove below, ooh!  

Chorus 
It's a fool's game, thought she was mine,  
But she danced away, living on borrowed time.  
She played me smooth, like a sweet refrain,  
I was blinded, but I’ve learned the pain.  
'Cause girl, you’ll find that karma’s real,  
You can't fake a love you don’t feel! woh!  

Bridge 
Now the music fades, the lights dim low,  
I see the truth in this lonely glow.  

Final Chorus 
It's a fool's game, thought she was mine,  
But she danced away, living on borrowed time.  
She played me smooth, like a sweet refrain,  
I was blinded, but I’ve learned the pain.  
'Cause girl, you’ll find that karma’s real,  
You can't fake a love you don’t feel,  
A love you don’t feel!  
Wah-yeaaah!  
Wooh-ooh-yeeaah!  

Outro 
You played me, but now I’m free!  
I’ll be dancing till the dawn breaks free.  
Ooh!  
Yeah-Yeah!

Every Bit Of My Heart
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
 ©COPYRIGHT 5–23-25 All Rights Reserved ©


Verse 1:
In a crowded room, it’s just us two,
Every word you say feels like a dream come true.
Your laughter dances lightly in the air,
In this quiet moment, love’s the only thing we share.

Pre-Chorus:
Underneath the moonlight, our dreams take flight,
In the silence of our love, everything feels right.
Holding on tightly, knowing we’ll be fine,
You’re the anchor in the storm, my heart’s design.

Chorus:
Every bit of my heart, it’s yours to hold,
In the warmth of your embrace, I feel the world grow old.
With every heartbeat, I am drawn to you,
Every bit of my heart, forever I’ll be true.

Verse 2:
Through the ups and downs, we’ve come so far,
With you beside me, I can touch the stars.
Your whispers in the dark fuel my greatest prize,
With every glance, you set my spirit to rise.

Bridge:
As the world spins, our love remains steady,
In your arms, I’m strong, always ready.
With every moment that we get to embrace,
Every bit of my heart finds its perfect place.

Pre-Chorus:
Underneath the moonlight, our dreams take flight,
In the silence of our love, everything feels right.
Holding on tightly, knowing we’ll be fine,
You’re the anchor in the storm, my heart’s design.

Chorus:
Every bit of my heart, it’s yours to hold,
In the warmth of your embrace, I feel the world grow old.
With every heartbeat, I am drawn to you,
Every bit of my heart, forever I’ll be true.

Outro:
So here’s my promise, let our story unfold,
With every bit of my heart, it’s a love to behold.
Through the laughter and tears, I’ll always stay true,
Every bit of my heart is forever with you.

If This Bar Could Talk
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
 ©COPYRIGHT 6-4-25 All Rights Reserved ©

(Verse 1)
Neon light spills on the floor, same old buzz I've heard before
This ol' barstool knows my name, seen a thousand Friday night games
Old Man Hank, he built this place, with calloused hands and a smiling face
Back in '68, the sign went up, poured the first cold beer in a chipped tin cup
He'd tell you 'bout the oil boom days, the wildcatters in a whiskey haze
And the night the sheriff's prize pig got loose, right here, sippin' on orange juice.

(Chorus)
If this bar could talk, oh the tales it would tell
'Bout the heartaches healed and the ones that fell
Through the bottom of a glass, or into someone's arms
Of whispered secrets and false alarms
Every crack in the wood, every stain on the ground
Holds a story lost and a memory found
Yeah, if this bar could talk, it'd sing you a country song.

(Verse 2)
See that corner booth, by the dartboard's gleam?
That's where young love lived out a teenage dream
Sarah and Johnny, carved their names so deep
Swore forever was a promise they would keep
Heard their laughter, saw their first sweet kiss
Then the tearful goodbye, with a love they'd miss
He went off to war, she waited day by day
This ol' bar saw her hope slowly fade away.

(Chorus)
If this bar could talk, oh the tales it would tell
'Bout the heartaches healed and the ones that fell
Through the bottom of a glass, or into someone's arms
Of whispered secrets and false alarms
Every crack in the wood, every stain on the ground
Holds a story lost and a memory found
Yeah, if this bar could talk, it'd sing you a country song.

(Verse 3)
Remember Big Joe, with a temper quick and hot?
Fist flew over politics, or a parking spot
Chairs went flyin', glass went crashin' down
Then they'd shake hands 'fore the next damn round
And the poker nights, in the smoky back room haze
Where fortunes were won in a gambling daze
Lifelong buddies, made right here at the rail
Sharing triumphs and every little fail.

(Verse 4)
There was Rosie, danced on tables bold and bright
Lit the whole place up, like a Saturday night
Found her true love here, then lost him to the road
This ol' bar soaked up every tear that flowed
Seen proposals whispered, rings slipped on a hand
And divorce papers signed, a love turned into sand
From christenings celebrated to wakes held in gloom
This bar's held every feeling in this room.

(Chorus)
If this bar could talk, oh the tales it would tell
'Bout the heartaches healed and the ones that fell
Through the bottom of a glass, or into someone's arms
Of whispered secrets and false alarms
Every crack in the wood, every stain on the ground
Holds a story lost and a memory found
Yeah, if this bar could talk, it'd sing you a country song.

(Bridge)
Years keep turnin', faces come and go
But the spirit lingers, puts on a familiar show
The laughter echoes, the sad songs still play
This bar just watches, come what may.

(Outro)
Yeah, these walls have ears, and this floor has eyes
Full of hellos and long goodbyes
If this bar could talk, you'd sit here all night long
Listenin' to its rambling, rowdy, country song.
If this bar could talk... it surely would.
