"Before I Knew Better"
No one thought that I'd jump off that rocky ledge.
So I did, and I broke
my leg.
And I let Jim Beam tell me I could take some guy
Twice my size, but old Jim lied.
I can't pretend that I ain't been my life's
own wrecking crew,
And I'm surprised that I've survived all I put myself through.
Before I knew better; before I woke up
I did a whole lotta crazy foolish
things I'm not proud of.
It was just like me to risk it all
Even when the pain outweighed the pleasure.
Before I
knew better.
You were the first to ever make me wanna change
My reckless ways and I almost
did.
But, somehow, I lost track and wound up giving in
To the late-night life and the good time friends.
You swore
to me one day youd leave and all I had to say
Was "There's the door, what you waiting for?"
And "Who needs you anyway?"
Before I knew better; before I woke up
I
did a whole lotta crazy foolish things I'm not proud of.
It was just like me to risk it all
Even when the pain outweighed
the pleasure.
Before I knew better.
Girl, I pray somehow, someway, we can turn this thing around;
I thought
your love was something I could live without.
Before I knew,
Before I knew better; before I woke up
I did a whole
lotta crazy foolish things I'm not proud of.
It was just like me to risk it all
Even when the pain outweighed the pleasure.
Before
I knew better.
Before I knew better.
Before I knew better.
Before I knew better.
"Completely"
Every time that we touch,
I feel like I've been touched
So completely.
When you give me your love,
I know that I've been loved
So completely.
Long away, every day;
Baby, I'm here to stay,
Gonna take this all the way.
I've heard a
lot of love songs but never listened.
Now I'm feeling what I've been missing.
Never had someone that I could say this
to:
I love you completely. Completely.
Always loved on the run;
Never
gave my heart to anyone
So completely.
You made half a man whole;
You've rounded out my soul
So completely.
Into you, through and through,
Baby, I never knew
I'd love someone like I do you.
I've heard a lot of love songs but never listened.
Now I'm feeling what I've
been missing.
Never had someone that I could say this to:
I love you completely. Completely.
Girl,
I ain't holding back any part of me;
You can see right down to the heart of me.
I've heard a lot of love songs but never listened.
Now I'm feeling what
I've been missing.
Never had someone that I could say this to:
I love youcompletely...completely...completely.
"Rub Me the Right Way"
Give me this; give me that.
Put it there; move it back.
Dig me a hole;
go fill it in.
That don't look right; do it again.
The boss man he's been rubbing me wrong all day.
But when I get
home, my baby's gonna rub me the right way.
Go get that ladder up on the hill.
Hustle up; hold it still.
What are
you doing, standing around?
Go build me something; go tear it down.
The
boss man he's been rubbing me wrong all day.
But when I get home, my baby's gonna rub me the right way.
There ain't ever been a woman any
better at her loving
Than the one I'm gonna go home to.
Darling, move a little closer, just a little lower;
That's
where it's at; aw, don't hold back.
You've got it honey just like that!
Boss man he's been rubbing me wrong all
day.
But when I get home my baby's gonna rub me the right way.
Go break for lunch; get back to work.
The same old grind, the same old jerk.
Go
change that tire; out on that truck.
One of these days, I'll jack him up!
The boss man he's been rubbing me wrong all
day.
But when I get home, my baby's gonna rub me the right way.
There ain't ever been a woman any better at her loving
Than the one I'm gonna go home
to.
Darling, move a little closer, just a little lower;
That's where it's at; aw, don't hold back.
You've got it
honey just like that!
Boss man he's been rubbing me wrong all day.
But when I get home my baby's gonna rub me the right
way.
Yeah, the boss man he's been rubbing me wrong all day
But
when I get home my baby's gonna rub me the right way
"On the Wings of a Honky Tonk Angel"
The music is low, I'm here all alone
Since what you made of me.
That
mirror on the wall
Sure says it all: just a fool on a stool's all I see.
How many times have I stared at that door,
Knowing heaven on earth don't
want me no more?
So, tonight I just might fly away
On the wings of a honky tonk angel.
Just one look around, I see what's been found:
Someone's found somebody new.
And
here I sit, still trying to forget
Hoping I'll find someone like you.
How many times
have I stared at that door,
Knowing heaven on earth don't want me no more?
So, tonight I just might fly away
On the
wings of a honky tonk angel.
And, tonight
I just might as well fly away
On the wings of a honky tonk angel.
"Run to Me"
You feel you're turning in circles;
There's no end to that dead end road.
Running
around all your feelings, wondering which way to go
When that voice that's inside you
Gets so loud, you just wanna scream,
And,
you find your blues in the way of a dream.
Run to me, darling let me be the one
Who's waiting there when you need someone
to turn to.
When the night gets too dark and it's so hard to see,
Run to me.
When you're backed in the corner,
Feels
like you're facing the world all alone.
Don't ever feel like you've gone to far to come back home.
Run to me, darling
let me be the one
Who's waiting there when you need someone to turn to.
When the night gets too dark and it's so hard
to see,
Run to me.
No matter where
you are, I'm here with open arms;
The day is gonna come, you're gonna need someone.
Run to me, darling let me be the
one
Who's waiting there when you need someone to turn to.
When the night gets too dark and it's so hard to see,
Run
to me, darling let me be the one
Who's waiting there when you need someone to turn to.
When the night gets too dark
and it's so hard to see,
Run to me.
You can run to me.
Baby run to me.
Baby run to me.
