IT’S A PACKAGE DEAL 
by Fernando Bellini and Sharon Spivey

It was me and my dog, she came with a cat
And I said, “Hon, you gotta get rid of that”
“No way”, she said, “He stays or I end it!”
An’ from that look she gave me, man, I knew she meant it 

CHORUS:
It’s a package deal 
That’s the way it comes
There’s no pickin’ and choosin’
When you love someone
You take the good with the bad
You mix it all together
To get that package deal 
That goes on forever

She said, “You can be messy, you watch too much T.V.
And sometimes it feels like you’re not list’nin’ to me
You’ve got imperfections; Lord knows I do too			
But that’s what makes me me and what makes you you”

CHORUS: REPEAT

BRIDGE:
My dog and her cat have become quite a pair
They curl up together and sleep in a chair

CHORUS: REPEAT

TAG:
That’s the way it comes, when you love someone
You mix it all together
To get that package deal 
That goes on forever

PACKAGE DEAL

APPLES AND ORANGES
by Fernando Bellini & Sharon Spivey

VS 1:
We’re ‘bout as diff’rent as two people could be
How we even met is a mys’try to me
Everybody says we’re just like apples and oranges
She’s from the city - me, I’m country bred
Drawn to the spotlight - got these songs in my head
She belongs in the fastlane, but she chose me instead

CHORUS:
Apples and oranges - we're nothin' alike
In spite of our diff’rences we don’t need to fight
She says, “black”, I say, “white”, we're okay with that
As Yin and Yang, we always attract
We're Lexus and Ford, Mac and PC
But I'm into her and she’s into me
Ain’t nothin’ can top the sweet love that we share
We’re apples and oranges - one helluva pair 

VS 2:
She’s cool and collected - my head’s in the clouds 
She thinks ‘fore you speaks, I jus’ let it all out
Diff’rent sides of a coin, we’re like apples and oranges
I’m absent minded - she helps me keep track
She’s ever in trouble, I’ve got her back
And together we make up for what - the other one lacks

CHORUS: REPEAT

BRIDGE:
When we can, we blend
When we can’t, we bend
So we’ll never break

LAST CHORUS:
We're Lexus and Ford, Mac and PC
But I'm into her and she’s into me
Ain’t nothin’ can top the sweet love that we share
We’re apples and oranges - one helluva pair

STEP INTO MY BLUES
by Fernando Bellini and Sharon Spivey

Mind if I join ya?
You look kinda down
Bet somebody hurtcha
That’s been goin’ ‘round
I feel the same
Like I’m lost at sea
The woman I trusted
Did a number on me

CHORUS:
Step into my blues
Share my heartache
Let it all out about the way they did us wrong
Step into my blues
Join the party
And maybe then we can begin to come around 
Got nothin’ to lose 
Step into my blues

How ‘bout I get us
Whiskey or a beer
We can talk it over
And take it from here
We’ve both been through hell
We both paid our dues 
And mis’ry loves comp’ny
Step into my blues

CHORUS: REPEAT

BRIDGE:
Just dimmed the lights, must be time to go home
Your place or mine, won’t go alone
We’ll make no promises, have no regrets
Give what we can, take what we get

CHORUS: REPEAT

STEP INTO MY BLUES

The U.S. Stands for Us
by Mickey James and Sharon Spivey

The divided States of America
It seems like that’s what we’ve become
The lefts and the rights, the blacks and the whites
Just can’t come together as one
Yeah, and Washington’s all in a dither
With meetings and tweetings galore
Some of ‘em wanna ban weapons
And some of ‘em wanna wage war

So what in the world is this country to do?
Well, maybe it’s all up to me and to you

CHORUS:
‘Cause the U.S. stands for us, we the people of this land	
Yes, the U.S. stands for us, every woman, every man
And it stands for the child of the immigrant
Who just might grow up to be president
And we’ll fight for that right, when we know we must
‘Cause the U.S. stands for us

Where were you on September 11?
We’ll be asking that question for years
Like we’ve done for the day we lost JFK
And we all got in touch with our tears
There were thousands who died in the towers
But their spirit survived the attack
And you know, we will too, we’re the red, white, and blue
So let’s bring America back

But how do we bridge that GREAT divide?
Well, somehow together, we’ve got to decide

CHORUS: Repeat

THE U.S. STANDS FOR “US”

I am a Nashville songwriter now living in Florida. I wrote Lorrie Morgan's 1st number one single, "Out Of Your Shoes" with Patti Ryan and Jill Wood. I am still "hard at play" pursuing my passion writing songs that I hope will  entertain and perhaps even make a difference.
