Am I Ready For Love

Sometimes I wonder
How it's gonna feel
Will my first love be true and real?
Will I be ready when my heart starts to fall?
What will I do when my love comes to call?
And my daddy tells me that I light up his worl'
Every day he says, darling, your my best girl
He tried to teach me from the very start
The meaning of love
So nobody breaks my heart

Chorus:
Will my love come in a bowl of fire?
Will it be filled with hope and desire?
Will my love come in a pouring rain?
Am I ready for the joy?
Am I ready for the pain?
Am I ready for the boy?
Am I ready for love?

Oh love

I know I'm not a little girl anymore
Cause I'm feeling things I never felt before
Sweet sensations, and anticipations
Calling comotion to my emotions
And I hear the words my daddy said to me
He said be true to yourself
And keep your spirit free
And love will find you,
One way or another
Be good to yourself
And be good to each other

Chorus

It's a run around the world
And it's moving so fast
Though I want to find a love that's gonna last
A love so strong
That it can withstand
The weight of this world
In the palm of its hand

Will my love come in a bowl of fire?
Will it be filled with hope and desire?
Will my love come in a pouring rain?
Am I ready for the joy?
Am I ready for the pain?
Am I ready for the boy?
Am I ready for this game?
Am I ready for the kiss?
Am I ready for the stars?
Am I ready for the bliss?
Am I ready for love?

American Boy

American boy, living life as it goes
Sittin' on the fence posts
Living in the lie
American boy, living in the real world
Trying just to get the girl
Trying to survive

Chorus:

The simple things in life are always new
growing up on Sam Hill avenue
Mama makes her cookies and daddy's just
the greatest living hero that ever was
Nothing in the world can ever once destroy
the hope of an american boy

Living off of bar tips, trying for relationships
looking for the love
Suddenly rise, an american beauty
suddenly he cheats, sent from above

Chorus:

The simple things in life are always new
growing up on Sam Hill avenue
Mama makes her cookies and daddy's just
the greatest living hero that ever was
Nothing in the world can ever once destroy
the dream of an american boy

American boy, raising little babies
hearing daddy maybe, I'll be like you
Suddenly life, seems just like a new dawn
that's grown up, american boy

Chorus:

The simple things in life are always new
growing up on Grandview avenue
Mama makes her cookies and daddy's just
the greatest living hero that ever was
Nothing in the world will ever once destroy
No, nothing in the world will ever once destroy
the hope of an american boy

American Girl

She was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinking that there was a little more
to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on the balcony
She could hear the cars roll by
Out on four forty one like waves crashing on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
She crept back in her memory
God, it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach

Angelina

Angelina?s got a pretty face
And really long brown hair
Lives somewhere in some wide open space
I?ve never been there
I guess some people come and purpose she
But I don?t cause

I have always been a bit reckless
And I am not your typical princess
I?m fine just a bit of a mess
And I?m not perfect you could say
I wasn?t brought up that way

Just watched Stephen run across the field
Watched him catch the ball
He?s got everything you?d wanna be
He?s funny, dark and tall
Watch him run across to Angelina
But I won?t cause

I have always been a bit reckless
And I am not your typical princess
I?m fine just a bit of a mess
And I?m not perfect you could say
I wasn?t brought up that way

Stardom pushed across the line
Tripped over my two feet hey oh yeah
But ain?t it funny how
It all comes out
Isn?t life sweet?

I have always been a bit reckless
And I am not your typical princess
I?m fine just a bit of a mess
And I?m not perfect you could say
Oh
I have always been a bit reckless
And I am not your typical princess
I?m fine just a bit of a mess
And I?m not, I?m not oh
And I?m not perfect you could say
I wasn?t brought up that way

Baby Don't Break My Heart Slow

I like the way you wanted me
Every night for so long baby
I like the way you needed me
Every time things got rocky

I was believing in you
Was I mistaken do you mean
Do you mean what you say
When you say our love could last forever

(Chorus)
But I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

I like the way you'd hold me
Every night for so long baby
I like the way you'd sing to me
Every time things got rocky


I was believing in you
Was I mistaken do you say
Do you say what you mean
When you say our love could last forever

(Chorus)
Cause I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

(Bridge)
You would run around and lead me on forever
While I stay at home still thinking we're together
I wanted our love to last forever

(Chorus)
But I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow
Baby don't you break my heart slow

Back To December

Oh oh ohhh
Summer nights, summer days, nothing ever feels the sme
Remember we were so Inlove
You said I always came above
Remember when you said to me
That we would always be...
Babe I never knew that always meant tomorrow,

Chorus:
Do you remember?
Back in December?
Cold cold weather,
When we were together
You made me smile, I asked you to stay for a while
And you said yes, yes, yes.

Do you remember?
Talking late at night,
You told me your problems,
I told you every single thing would be alright
Cause I knew, from the first day
I saw you... I fell in love.

V2: Boy I was missing you and all the good times we had,
All the memories and pictures are thrown out in the trash, oh.
I believed you when you told me you were over me,
But you were lying to yourself you're just a big phony
So tell me, what you're waiting fr, get your butt up off that couch and get out the door!

Chorus.

Bridge: Woah oh, yeah, I just wish we could go back ( back) to december, I just wish(wish) that we could go back to December(December). we were so in love back then, I wanna bring it back again.

Bad blood

[Chorus:]
Cause baby now we've got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
Cause baby now we've got bad blood, hey!
Now we've got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby now we've got bad blood, hey!

Did you have to do this?
I was thinking that you could be trusted
Did you have to ruin
What was shiny, now it's all rusted
Did you have to hit me
Where I'm weak, baby I couldn't breath
And rub it in so deep
Salt in the wound like you're laughing right at me
Oh it so sad to think about the good times
You and I

[Chorus:]
Cause baby now we've got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
Cause baby now we've got bad blood, hey!
Now we've got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby now we've got bad blood, hey!

Did you think we'd we be fine
Still got scars in my back from your knives
So don't think it's all in the past
These kind of wounds they last and they last
Now did you think it all through?
All these things will catch up to you
In time can heal but this won't
So if you come in my way
Just don't
Oh it's so sad to think about the good times
You and I

[Chorus:]
Cause baby now we've got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
Cause baby now we've got bad blood, hey!
Now we've got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby now we've got bad blood, hey!

Band aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
If you live like that, you live with ghosts
If you live like that you live with bad blood

Band aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
If you live like that, you live with ghosts
If you live like that you live with bad blood

[Chorus:]
Cause baby now we've got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
Cause baby now we've got bad blood, hey!
Now we've got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby now we've got bad blood, hey!

[Chorus:]
Cause baby now we've got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
Cause baby now we've got bad blood, hey!
Now we've got problems
And I don't think we can solve 'em
You made a really deep cut
And baby now we've got bad blood, hey!

Beautiful Eyes

Your beautiful eyes stare right into my .. eyes

and sometimes i think of you late at night
I don't know why
I wanna be somewhere where you are
I wanna be where. . .

You're here. Your eyes are looking into mine
So baby make me fly
My heart has never felt this way before
I'm looking through your
I'm looking through your eyes

I wake up, I'm alive
in only a little while, I cry
'Cause you're my lullaby
So baby come hold me tight
'cause I, I
I wanna be everything you need
I wanna be where

You're here. Your eyes are looking into mine
So baby make me fly
My heart has never felt this way before
I'm looking through your
I'm looking through your eyes

Just as long as your mine I'll be your everything tonight.
Let me love you, kiss you, baby let me miss you
Let me see your
Dream about
Dream about
Dream about your eyes
Eyes, eyes, eyes
Beautiful eyes

Begin Again

Took a deep breath in the mirror
He didn't like it when I wore high heels, but I do
Turned the lock and put my headphones on
He always said he didn't get this song but I do, I do

Walked in expecting you'd be late
But you got here early
And you stand and wait
And I walk to you
You pulled my chair out and helped me
And you don't know how nice that is
But I do

And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny ‘cause he never did
I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

You said you never met one girl
Who has as many James Taylor records as you
But I do
We tell stories and you don't know why I'm coming off a little shy
But I do

But you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny ‘cause he never did
I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

And we walk down the block to my car
And I almost brought him up
But you start to talk about the movies
That your family watches every single Christmas
And I won't talk about that
For the first time, what's past is past

‘Cause you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny ‘cause he never did
I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
Then on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again
Then on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

Being With My Baby

All is quiet in the world tonight
Counting stars and fireflies
This summer sings a lullaby
Of just me and my baby

On the hood of his daddy's car
Pass around his old guitar
Bet mama's wondering where we are
Just me and my baby

The world is spinning 'round
'Cause of just what I found

Ooh, life's so sweet right here
Ooh, keeping it young and crazy
Ooh, just want to stay right here
'Cause nothing's quite like being with my baby

Driving home by the riverside
Wishing I could slow down time
Faking pictures in my mind
Of me and my baby

The car pulls up and I'm home too late
We didn't take that interstate
The back road was a better way
For me and my baby

The closer that we get
Ooh, I can't leave yet

Ooh, life's so sweet right here
Ooh, keeping it young and crazy
Ooh, just want to stay right here
'Cause nothing's quite like being with my baby

Both know what we found
So we turned that car around

Ooh, life's so sweet right here
Ooh, keeping it young and crazy
Ooh, just want to stay right here
Ooh, and be with my baby
Ooh, yeah and be with my baby
