I'M GONNA SOOTHE YOU

I?ve got a thing for you, baby, always have
Never knew how far my heart would take me
She?s my friend but she treats you bad
Can?t let that happen to such a decent man

If you let me in, let me stay a while
I?ll do more than make you smile
Come to me child

I?m gonna soothe you
I?m gonna soothe you
Hey baby, hey baby
I know just what to do
I?m gonna soothe you
My baby, my baby

Don?t worry, I won?t do you any harm
My touch is gentle, my body is warm
Lift your head, feel my cool hand on your face
Let me kiss your tears away

If you let me in, honey, let me stay
Lay your head on my breast
I?ll do the rest

I?m gonna soothe you
I?m gonna soothe you
Hey baby, hey baby
I know just what to do
I?m gonna soothe you
My baby, my baby

Can you feel it comin? down like a trance?
Forget your head, remember how to dance
Can you feel it comin' down like healin??
So deep, it just couldn?t be a sin, now baby

Walk on in
Make yourself at home in my arms

I?m gonna soothe you
Hey baby
I know just what to do
I?m gonna soothe you
My baby, my baby

I?m gonna soothe you
I?m gonna soothe you
Hey baby, hey baby
I know just what to do
I?m gonna soothe you
My baby

I?m gonna soothe you

I'VE FORGOTTEN WHAT IT WAS IN YOU (THAT PUT THE NEED IN ME)

You wanna talk about devotion
You wanna talk about true love
After the moment of emotion
It?s kinda hard to keep the mood up

Well look into my eyes
And tell me what you see, darling
I?ve forgotten what it was in you
That put the need in me

Your arms were like a little paradise
But your arms have changed
And the flicker of a good love?s fire
Has seen brighter days

When we?ve said every line
And played out every scene
I?ve forgotten what it was in you
That put the need in me

Well honey you and I
We had the sweetest thing
And we can try and try and try
But somethin? ain?t the same

Don?t look me in the eye
?Cause I?m the one to blame
I?ve forgotten what it was in you
That put the need in me

Who?d ever thought that I
Would have the guts to change
We could try to live a lie
You?d hate me just the same

Oh, honey please don?t cry
I?m sorry and ashamed
But I?ve forgotten what it was in you
That put the need in me

IF LOVE IS A RED DRESS (HANG ME IN RAGS)

My heart is empty.
Your eyes are dark.
Once we were hungry,
Now we are full.
These chains that bind us,
Can't beat these chains.
If love is shelter,
I'm gonna walk in the rain.
You were my angel.
Now, you are real.
So like a stranger,
Colder than steel.
The morning after,
You know what you bring.
If love is a red dress,
Well, hang me in rags.
Away.
There goes the fairy tale.
Lord, ain't it a shame?
In all this comfort,
I can't take the strain.
If we played even,
I'd be your queen.
But someone was cheatin'.
And it wasn't me.
I've laid it on the table,
You had something back.
If love is Aces,
Give me the Jack.

LOVE DOESN'T LOVE

Love doesn't love me
Love doesn't love me
It hovers just above me
Smiling cruel and lovely
Love doesn't doesn't love me

Style without substance
Flesh limits functions
Lust without emotion
Body without passion
Love doesn't doesn't love me

And the sand slipping through my hand
And the water washes by
And the sand slipping through my hand
And the water washes by

And the sand slipping through my hand
And the water washes by
And the sand slipping through my hand
And the water washes by

MY GIRLHOOD AMONG THE OUTLAWS

My girlhood among the outlaws
Was salty, bittersweet
The things I did, I could just kick myself now
Through nights of lousy dreams

As visions gather in my head
I find it hard to live with the things I did and said
But for you, my friend
I?d live it all again and love you in the end

Anything for you, baby, anything for you
If it took those years to get me here
I?d do it again for you

I took a leap of faith and I stumbled
I tried to live outside grace and I was humbled
But I?d like to bet if I live to fear regret
Then we never would?ve met

Hey, anything for you, baby, anything for you
If it took those years to get me here
I?d do it again for you

So here we are and I don?t know what to call it
?Cause love, love is such a funny promise
Commitment is impossible, forever is a lie
But that still leaves you and I

Hey baby, anything for you
If it took those years to get me here
I?d do it again for you

Oh baby, baby, baby, anything for you
If it took those years to get me here
I?d do it again, do it again

Do it again, do it again
I?d do it again, do it again
Do it again

MY ONE TRUE LOVE

A river flows with liquid snow, but it's not for me
Birds fly high in the southern sky, but it's not for me
Cattle roam in fertile fields, but it's not for me
Flowers bloom on a lonely highway, but it's not for me

My one true love I'll never know
I keep to me
My one true love I'll never know
I came to meet the bitter way
For my one true love

Mountain's green in the summertime, but it's not for me
Lovers walk in the falling moonlight, but it's not for
me
Mothers love their sons to death, but it's not for me
Salesmen feed on Christmas time, but it's not for me

My one true love I'll never know
I keep to me
My one true love I'll never know
I came to meet the bitter way
For my one true love

Fathers cry for fallen sons, but it's not for me
Good guys in the N16, but it's not for me
Zero stare at the tv screen, but it's not for me
Drifters sleep on quiet ?? , but it's not for me

My one true love I'll never know
I keep to me
My one true love I'll never have
I came to meet the bitter way
For my one true love

NEVER BE YOU

Take a look in my eyes
It's been a long, long time
I used to feel so strong
When I knew you were mine

Since you let me down
I'm hard to be around
I don't know what I'm gonna do

He could never be you
He could never be you
He could never be you

I guess it all comes around
Baby, please don't cry
Love is gonna be a little reckless
Oh, love is all I have to stand trial

But since you let me go
There's nothing going on
I don't know what I'm gonna do

He could never be you
He could never be you
He could never be you

He knows the moves
He plays the part
But he only has me
He don't have my heart

He could never be you
He could never be you

So take a look in my eyes
No you can't hide the truth
No, you don't get by on pride
'Cause it'll run over you

But since you let me down
I'm hard to be around
I don't know what I'm gonna do

He could never be you
He could never be you
He could never be you

He could never be you
He could never be you
He could never be, never be you
Never, never, never be you

NOBODY'S CHILD

Turning around I see someone
That I thought I used to know
You wide eyed in the crowd
How does it feel to see the world
And not turn cold

I wanna hold you
And protect you from the change
Though I know it?s gonna happen anyway

Take this veil, I?ll dry your eyes
In a world like ours you?re nobody?s child

I?m dependin? on you to teach me
All the things I forgot I ever knew
Baby, you can lean on me
I may lean a little too
Whatever gets us through

And I feel a mountain movin? deep within
At the end of the revival we begin

Take this veil, it'll dry your eyes
In a world like ours, our nobody?s child

And I feel a mountain movin? deep within
At the end of the revival we begin

Take this veil, dry these eyes
You see me prayin?, but I?m nobody?s child

ONLY ONCE

I've never been obliged to stay in one place for too long
There's a bad seed bred inside me and it keeps me movin' on
Have I ever been persuaded to give it up and stay home?
Was I tempted by an angel? Only once, only once

Now I wanna be the kind of girl who'll only make you proud
But the noise and fuss and wanderlust will always drag me down
And if anyone should ask me, have I ever been in love
I will think of you and tell them, "Only once"

Only once did a pair of lips on mine make me cry
Only once for a pair of arms around me would I die
I will love you till I'm saved, I will love you from my grave
And love like this can happen only once, only once

All the men who try to save me weave their wicked web around me
All the ones I try to save, drink their fill and leave me lonely
Have I ever felt salvation wash me cleaner than a dove?
Was I ever nearly happy? Only once

Only once was a stupid girl allowed to tempt her fate
Only once did I think twice and twice was once too late
I'm going down like Jezebel and my body aches like hell
I share my bed just to forget, I said, "No, only once"

I will love you till I'm saved, I will love you from my grave
And love like this can happen only once, only once

SHOW ME HEAVEN

There you go
Flashing fever from your eyes
Hey baby, come over here
And shut them tight
I'm not denyin'
We're flying above it all
Hold my hand don't let me fall
You've such amazing grace
I've never felt this way.

Oh, show me heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless,
Oh show me heaven babe

Here I go
I'm shakin'just like the breeze.
Hey baby, I need your hand to steady me
I'm not denyin'
I'm frightened as much as you.
Though I'm barely touching you,
I've shivers down my spine,
And it feels devine

Oh, show me heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless,
Oh show me heaven babe

If you know what it's like
To dream a dream
Baby hold me tight
And let this be

Oh, show me heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless,
Oh show me heaven babe

Leave me breathless
Leave me breathless
