Lyrics I

I Don't Care	If This Is What Love Is	I Hate Valentine's Day
I'm Sensitive	Innocence Maintained	I've Got The Blues More Than You Do Blues
I Guess What I Wanted Was	I'm Fading (Fade Away)	In A Woman's Life
It's Too Darn Hot	I Thought I Saw You	I Don't Want To Be Loved By Anybody But You
I Won't Walk Away	I Shall Be Released

If This Is What Love Is

Somewhere between right and wrong is a love song
Its tongue hits the target but its phone number is always wrong
It speaks through calluses of gentler things
It speaks of kindness
But I don't think you know what that word means
Your love is a bitter seed that only the blind can see
If this is what love is
Then I guess there's no love song left in me

Somewhere between right and wrong is reality
Justice and shame speak foolishly of impractical things
Your kisses are as kind as candles
your hands are as giving as stone
Your mind is kind as Hitler's until night leaves you feeling alone
Your love is something I must do but never be
If this is what love is
Then I guess there's no love song left in me

I didn't mean to fall into darkness
It's just that I trip in the lights
Cause aw man it's hard to see that clearly and not put up a fight
But I knew Ithen would break and not bend
Just look at this trouble I'm in
I need to realize
This is how the unhappy half dies

Somewhere between good and bad is every lie I have ever been told
They all come down but good deeds don't count it's what cards you hold
But I'm tired of your grey laughter
I am tired of your hungry eyes
This love is so rotten
It's startin' to attract flies
Your love is something that must do but never be
Its blade is made of jealousy and insecurity
Your love is a bitter seed that only the blind can see
If this is what love is
If this is what love is
Then I guess there's no love song left in me.

Innocence Maintained

Ophelia drowned in the water
Crushed by her own weight
Hitler loved little blue eyed boys
and it drove him to hate
Birds always grow silent before the night descends
Cause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend

A heroes torso built of steel and novocaine
His heart a bitter beat inside a bloodless frame
There was hole inside his soul a manicure could not fill
So he found himself a whore to love
While daisies choked in the window sill

We've made houses for hatred
It's time we make a place where
People's souls may be seen and made safe
We must be careful with each other these fragile flames
Innocence can't be lost it just needs to be maintained

A small town in Ohio, two boys are filled with violence
And night spreads its legs for hate and ignorance
We are given to a God to put our faith there in
But to be forgiven we must first believe in sin

We've made houses for hatred
It's time we make a place where
People's souls may be seen and made safe
We must be careful with each other these fragile flames
Innocence can't be lost it just needs to be maintained

Some like the Yankees, some like the Mets Me I like red sox but only
on pets I want to live bravely, and love without fear
I want always to feel the wings of grace near
We all will be Christed when we hear ourselves say
we are that to which we pray.

We've made houses for hatred
It's time we make a place where
People's souls may be seen and made safe
We must be careful with each other these fragile flames
Innocence can't be lost it just needs to be maintained

I Hate Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day
Wish I had a sweetheart
It's Valentine's Day
Didn't even get a stinkin' card
It's Valentine's Day
I just have to say
I hate Valentine's Day

It's Valentine's Day
And I didn't get no chocolate
It's Valentine's Day
If I had a heart I'd hock it
It's Valentine's Day
All I have to say
I hate Valentine's Day

It's Valentine's Day
And I hope it finds you healthy
It's Valentine's Day
I'm glad your stinkin' girlfriend's wealthy
It's Valentine's Day
I just love to say
I hate fuckin' Valentine's Day

I've Got The Blues More Than You Do Blues

Grew up in the Mississippi delta
In a shotgun shack
Washboard for my pillow
'Til the tax man took that back
Moved out on my own
I was just eight years old ... top that

You think you got the blues
Look at my life
I've got the blues more than you do ... blues

When I was an itty-bitty baby
I was my mama's only surviving son
She used my head as a washrag
I thought it was fun
Walked to school upway both ways
With no legs ... top that

You think you got the blues
Look at my life
I've got the blues more than you do ... blues

Got so drunk the other night I couldn't find my way home
Had to have a blind man show me
When I finally did get there,
My own dog had disowned me
A womam in a bar just looks at me and coughed and said
'quot;I don't even know you, but I wish you'd die off'quot; ... top that

You think you got the blues
Look at my life
I've got the blues more than you do ... blues

I Guess What I Wanted Was

I guess what I
Wanted was
To hear
You'd stay with me always
I guess what I
Wanted was
To see
Those hands vowing
Never to leave my own
I guess what I
Wanted was
To know
I am not loving in vain

I'm Fading (Fading Away)

It's K-Mart, the bathroom
I'm staring in the mirror
The green lights are bright
It makes the lines clearer
Heard the Angel go
Cigarette smoke's all that's left
I've traded in my wings for a string of pearls
And now the string is all I've left
The light bulbs burn
Some ones in the stall
Big white
Brick wall
Makes me feel small
And I take my shirt off
Looking for a glimpse of flesh
I peel back the concrete
Hope there's still some soil left
Cuz I am fading
I am fading
I am fading away
I am fading
Just like fairy tales
Hero loses faith
I am fading
The air smells like urin
Getting all
I could walk out that door
But no one really ever leaves
I take all my clothing off
Trying not to forget
Stupid things like
The color of urin
And the smell of stone when it's wet
And I am naked in the mirror
With a feather in my hand
The lady comes out of the bathroom
Screaming, 'quot;Oh, Jesus!'quot;
Like I was a man
And I ask her
'quot;Hey, what happens to us
When we get old and in the way?'quot;
I guess she didn't answer
Took me away
And I am fading
I am fading
I am fading away
I am fading
Just like fairy tales
Hero's loses faith
And I do not know
Why or when
I guess that Spring is just leaving me And I am fading I'm fading

In a Woman's Life

Somewhere between right and wrong is a love song
Its tongue hits the target but its phone number is always wrong
It speaks through calluses of gentler things
It speaks of kindness
But I don't think you know what that word means
Your love is a bitter seed that only the blind can see
If this is what love is
Then I guess there's no love song left in me
Somewhere between right and wrong is reality
Justice and shame speak foolishly of impractical things
Your kisses are as kind as candles
your hands are as giving as stone
Your mind is kind as Hitler's until night leaves you feeling alone
Your love is something I must do but never be
If this is what love is
Then I guess there's no love song left in me
I didn't mean to fall into darkness
It's just that I trip in the lights
Cause aw man it's hard to see that clearly and not put up a fight
But I knew I wpould break and not bend
Just look at this trouble I'm in
I need to realize
This is how the unhappy half dies
Somewhere between good and bad is every lie I have ever been told
They all come down but good deeds don't count it's what cards you hold
But I'm tired of your grey laughter
I am tired of your hungry eyes
This love is so rotten
It's startin' to attract flies
Your love is something that must do but never be
Its blade is made of jealousy and insecurity
Your love is a bitter seed that only the blind can see
If this is what love is
If this is what love is
Then I guess there's no love song left in me.

It's Too Darn Hot

Written by Cole Porter

It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
I'd like to sup with my baby tonight
Refill the cup with my baby tonight
I'd like to sup with my baby tonight
Refill the cup with my baby tonight
But, brother, you'll find my baby tonight
Cause it's too darn hot
I call into the Kinsey report every average man you know
He much prefers his lovey-dovey to court
When the temperature is low
Cause when the thermometer goes up
And the weather is sizzlin' hot
Mister pants for romance
A G.I. for his cutie-pie
A marine for his queen is not
Cause it's too too too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot

I Thought I Saw You

I'm not easily scared by things that go bump in the night
Theres not many things that give me a fright
I can walk down a lonely block
And not alot can make my old knees knock

But theres one thing that scares me the most
Its when I think I see a ghost
And I thought I saw you last night

Ive been lately thinking about oujia board
And maybe contacting souls seated by the lord
Cause all the shadows on my street
Bring the sounds of shuffeling feet

But theres one thing that scares me the most
Its when I think I see a ghost
And I thought I saw you last night

Threw salt over my shoulder
I knocked on wood
Dont step on cracks
But it does no good
I drink bourbon to calm my nerves
Read an old book and chant some verse
Hold hot coals in the middle of my fists
Take advice from my exorcist
Hallelujah hail mary
Holy moly this is scary

For instance last night I went to a scary movie
And I tried real hard not to let it get to me
But I just kept looking over my shoulder
The wind got hands and I got colder

But theres one thing that scares me the most
Its when I think I see a ghost
And I thought I saw you last night
I'm not easily scared by things that go bump in the night

I Don't Want To Be Loved By Anybody But You

I Shall Be Released

It Really Was No Miracle

Impala

by The Rugburns
As Sung with Jewel

I love girl girl love me
It not all it cracked up to be
Soda pop radio on
Dedicate my girl a song

Gone are days of simple things
Got to buy baby diamond rings
Keep it simple just dont brag
Got to be high speed low drag

In the impala of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love

Coffee pot is so bilingual
Self help books on being single
Everything today is so hi tech
Why cant we just park by the lake and neck

In the impala of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love

Love in the 20th century is
Such confusion such mystery
Where's my modem
Where's my mother
Fax incoming
Oh brother

Stars are out you look fine
Empty clothes empty bottle of wine
You got nice jambes thats french for legs
Lets cook in the back like a couple poached eggs

In the impala of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love (doo wop doo wop)
Baby of my love

I Won't Walk Away

A lonely street lamp
I'm out on the street walking home
A small pale blur
Leaving trails like a snail
I move so slow
Time can bruise
Violent indigo
Rush home to your arms
You soothe my weary soul

Wrong or right
Be mine tonight
Harsh world be damned
We'll make a stand
Love can bind
But mine is blind
Others stray but I won't
Walk away
Walk away

The clubs are full
Of couples resisting being one
They wear their youth
Like badges that tarnish all too soon
We'll be a team
Our two will be one
Love will be our fortress
When all else comes undone

Wrong or right
Be mine tonight
Harsh world be damned
We'll make a stand
Love can bind
But mine is blind
Others stray but I won't
Walk away
Walk away

Sometimes the world don't make sense
Small children filled with violence
Let our light shine through the night

Wrong or right
Be mine tonight
Harsh world be damned
We'll make a stand
Love can bind
But mine is blind
Others stray but I won't
Walk away
Walk away

I Don't Care

Good-bye baby, I don't think I'll be seeing you again
Good-bye baby, we'll say that we're still friends
Even though I know I love nobody else
And even though I know, I say to myself
That this time I'm leaving and I now that we're through and I don't
love you
And that I just don't care

I'm just so tired of being another statistic on TV
The classic case of I love him, but he just don't love me

So this time I'm going to be the one to say it's the end
This time I'm gonna be my own best friend
And I'm going to save some love, some love for myself
I'll kiss you all serious, it might help
And that I just don't care

I don't care
So many times, I tried to tell myself
That this love would work, if I just gave up some more love for myself
I believed if I just quite my crying, you'd start your trying, leave
your lying
But I believe if I just walked away, I could say
I don't care
don't care

You were always the cool one, you stood by the backdoor
You said 'quot;you know, leaving sorta makes you look good'quot;
But this time I swear it's the best you'll ever see of me

So this time I'm going to be the one to say it's the end
This time I'm gonna be my own best friend
And I'm going to save some love, some love for myself
I'll (kiss you all serious in hell)???
And that I just don't care

I don't care
So many times, I tried to tell myself
That this love would work, if I just gave up some more love for myself
I believed if I just quite my crying, you'd start your trying, leave
your lying
But I believe if I just walked away, I could say
I don't care
don't care

*skat over two-line verse and refrain

So good-bye baby, I don't think I'll be seeing you again

I'm Sensitive

I was thinking that I might fly today
Just to disprove all the things that you say
It doesn't take a talent to be mean
You words can crush things that are unseen

So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way

You always tell me that it's impossible
To be respected, and be a girl
Why's it gotta be so complicated
Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated

So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way

I was thinking, that it might do some good
If we robbed the cynics and took all their food
That way what they believe will have taken place
And we can give it people who have some faith

So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way

I have this theory, that if we're told we're bad
Then that's the only idea we'll ever have
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Someday we will become what we see
'Cause anyone can start a conflict
it's harder yet to disregard it
I'd rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way
