the best laid plans of mice and women
often come right down to a different end
you’re dressed up for success but you might not win at all
you already lost a shoe and another will soon come off
I’ve been gambling that you’re hoping for the best
and you’re putting all my playing skills to the test
you can bluff or you can let those cards fall
chances are I’m gonna get to see it all
you can play your hand any damn way that you want
you can run or fold or you can walk the talk
you can bet it all from the bottom to the top
be careful what you risk cause it might just have to come off
I’ve been gambling that you’re hoping for the best
and you’re putting all my playing skills to the test
you can bluff or you can let those cards fall
chances are I’m gonna get to see it all
place your wager, you know this game ain’t failed you yet
you think you’re good at this, but you might have some regrets
baby, i can read your tell, you got a winning set
but my ace up the sleeve is gonna break the bet
I’ve been gambling that you’re hoping for the best
and you’re putting all my playing skills to the test
you can bluff or you can let those cards fall
chances are I’m gonna get to see it all

you’re gonna lose that girl
you’re pushing her away
you think you made a point
treating her this way
but man I’ve never seen
a girl like her before
and if i get a chance
she won’t want you anymore
I’m gonna treat her right
I’m gonna make her smile
I never wanna fight
cause I love that chile
she don’t wanna cry
no one wants the blues
that how I’m gonna win her
and she’ll be quitting you
she’s gonna be my girl, there’s nothing you can do
I’m gonna make her love me, she’ll forget about you
so don’t come around, you’re not wanted anymore
you can just show yourself the door
gonna take her out
gonna write a song
listen to her a lot
gonna come along
anywhere she goes
I’ll be by her side
I’m not gonna leave
and I’ll never try
she’s gonna be my girl, there’s nothing you can do
I’m gonna make her love me, she’ll forget about you
so don’t come around, you’re not wanted anymore
you can just show yourself the door
you know she only needs
someone who can see
there’s not another one,
there could never be
anyone like her
anywhere you go
man you missed your chance
now it’s time to go
she’s gonna be my girl, there’s nothing you can do
I’m gonna make her love me, she’ll forget about you
so don’t come around, you’re not wanted anymore
you can just show yourself the door

thorns

where are you going
where is your mind
a head full of doubts
and a mouth full of lies
and you’re breaking my heart with you deep brown eyes
I got a feeling
things won’t work out right
your words are not healing
and burn in the light
and you’re breaking my heart with your deep brown eyes
and where will you hide from those demons inside
the past is all gone, you gotta learn to let go
you’re gonna cut yourself, you know that roses have thorns
some things we can’t change
if you try, they change you
so get busy living
or change will have you
and you’re breaking my heart with your deep brown eyes
and where will you hide from those demons inside
the past is all gone, you gotta learn to let go
you’re gonna cut yourself, you know that roses have thorns

cruel game
03:50
|

|
you never gave your heart to
me, when you came around.
but I started to believe
in the love I found
baby it was always a cruel game,
build me up and you put me down.
your cold calculation and all your little
schemes, did you feel proud?
your friends were all in on your lies.
and they were laughing at me
just another fool you found,
a puppet on invisible strings
you shouldn’t have done this cruel thing to me
but I’d rather be hurt than be the person I see.
your words go ‘round and ‘round in my head,
the shame I feel sometimes.
a fool, a mark, a gullible toy,
that you can toss aside
you shouldn’t have done this cruel thing to me
but I’d rather hurt than be the person I see.
your words go ‘round and ‘round in my head,
the shame I feel sometimes.
your words go ‘round and ‘round in my head,
the shame I feel sometimes.
you shouldn’t have done this cruel thing to me
but I’d rather hurt than be the person I see
you shouldn’t have done this cruel thing to me
but I’d rather hurt than be the person I see

just 10 minutes

just 10 minutes, that’s all that we need
early in the morning when they get out the keys
just 10 minutes, that’s all it’ll take
figured it out, they’ll be hardly awake
i been casing the joint
baby, I need you to come with me
no one suspects a pregnant lady
it’s a helluva drive to another state
we could change our lives with the money we’ll take
i been casing the joint
when we get to the point
we’ll have everything we need
tell them our business has to be done
before the bank opens we won’t show the gun
until we’re inside, then everyone
gets on the floor if they don’t want none
I been casing the joint
only 5 people, and they ain’t so bad
they don’t know the good luck they had
the cops won’t expect it and we’ll get away
my car will be speeding outa state
I been casing the joint
when we get to the point
we’ll have everything we need
I been casing the joint
when we get to the point
we’ll have everything we need
some things you have to learn the hard way
it’s a federal offense when you cross a state
and people are jealous and some people hate
to see us living in a better way
I been casing the joint
you get off easy and I go to jail
40 years locked in a cell
just 10 minutes and I’m still here
nothing to hide, nothing to tell
I been casing the joint
when we get to the point
we’ll have everything we need

salt shaker

you’re a salt shaker, when I don’t want nothin’ sweet
you’re a heartbreaker, when I’m ready for a repeat
you’re a lovemaker, you know you are my treat
but you’re a dream taker, cause you put it back in the street
only everything, that’s all I want
you belong to me, tear out my heart
babe I wanna be, your only one
give it all to me, ‘til I can’t take no more
I wanna get that satisfaction
that only comes through action
don’t wanna shelter me, don’t wanna be a part
you wanna stay free, throwing those darts
you’re shaking me, and you’re my sweet tart
tastes good to me, maybe that ain’t so smart
I wanna get that satisfaction
that only comes through action

life is confusing and then you’re at the end
and we don’t know what that means, my friend
some people think they do and some people lie,
it’s our nature to want to know why
a bridge to sell you and a card up the sleeve
a life worth living, then they tell you to leave
with peace and joy harmony
how do you know what you cannot perceive
if you drop it you should always watch where it lands
mistake or not it was still from your hand
you wanna tell me that you’re nobody’s fool
you turn and let them make a sucker of you
they want to own you but they won’t have me
in this life nothing is free
if you drop it you should always watch where it lands
mistake or not it was still from your hand
you’re never gonna make a monkey of me
you’re never gonna set yourself free
you’re never gonna climb up the hill
you think it’s just a matter of will
if you drop it you should always watch where it lands
mistake or not it was still from your hand

it's a gamble
04:46

I guess that time takes away all kinds of bad feelings
but I still remember all of your evil dealings
you know I think that I could forgive just about anything
but baby I just I need to hear you say
I’m sorry for the way that I did you wrong
it wasn’t right to treat you like you didn’t belong
I was lying to you baby
I know that I betrayed you
please forgive me, I’m sorry now
please forgive me, maybe you can see how
lies are bad for both of us
I know it’s wrong,
but baby I just need to hear you say it now
I’m sorry for the way that I did you wrong
it wasn’t right to treat you like you didn’t belong
I was lying to you baby
I know that I betrayed you
the worst pain can only come from someone close to you
I know it’s a gamble baby, but I bet it all on you
it just hurts to know, just hurts to know, baby that you let me lose
now, what am I supposed to do
I know there are always two sides to everything
and when you hurt someone you always want to feel justified
I don’t wanna be blind to what I must have done to you
maybe you need to hear it, to hear me say
I’m sorry for the way that I did you wrong
it wasn’t right to treat you like you didn’t belong
I was lying to you baby
I know that I betrayed you

you're not wrong
03:26

you say you’ve had enough
the devil you know has called your bluff
you turned me out my friend
a breaking heart is another end
sometimes we have to lie to
ourselves the truth is too much hell
I just have one thing left to
tell, that I wish you well
the road is long and life is short
what we had we will have no more
all that’s left is a memory
that time has been set free
put the past where it belongs
it will work on you unless it’s gone
be kind to your younger self
don’t believe the lies you tell
sometimes we have to lie to
ourselves the truth is too much hell
I just have one thing left to
tell, that I wish you well
the road is long and life is short
what we had we will have no more
all that’s left is a memory
that time has been set free

don't let go
04:55
|

in this world there are all kinds of thieves
some break in and some never leave
some so gifted you might not ever know
what was taken though it’s there no more
they feed you lies and they build you up
take a drink from this loving cup
making others into lesser men
you believe that you’re already in
but it’s taken from you right before your eyes
where has it gone
the place you used to call home
and who are you now
are you really not in doubt
close your eyes so you don’t see it
close your mind on another trip
now you think you know the truth
twisting tighter with a broken tool
but it’s taken from you right before your eyes
where has it gone
the place you used to call home
and who are you now
are you really not in doubt
you can always depend on me
to tell you the truth
but you have to stop listening to fools
you can always depend on me
I haven’t given up on you
but you have to stop listening
but you have to stop listening
but you have to stop listening
you know I’m here for you
but I can’t take your point of view
they’re in your head and your heart is shut
and you can’t see the rest of us
and it’s taken from you right before your eyes
where has it gone
the place you used to call home
and who are you now
are you really not in doubt
