Men Don't Change
Time for a long lyric posting..Men Don't Change -Amy Dalley
He was a bad boy and I was a good girl.
He needed me to smooth out the edges.
Well, he'd get his drink on and flirt with the ladies,
After two years of his crap, I quit beggin'.
I'm a magnet for the "fixer-upper man."
If I know it's fire, why do I let it burn my hand?
Cupid works for the devil: be suspicious if he cries:
You know sexy's usually good.
Yeah, but it ain't always right.
Chocolate is a band-aid, no matter what they say,
Shoes don't stretch,
An' men don't change.
My friend Lisa, she loves a liar.
She found out about his other girlfriends.
He makes excuses, so she forgives him.
An' she swears she's gonna leave if he screws up again.
But he's good looking, that's why she don't see,
He's got her exactly where he wants her to be.

Break Down Here -Julie Roberts
Mile marker 203, the gas guage leanin' on the edge of "E"
An' I'll be dang'd if the rain ain't pourin' down
There's somethin' smokin' underneath the hood
It's a-bangin' and a-clangin' an' it can't be good
An' it's another fifty miles to the nearest town
Everythin' I own's in the back in a hefty bag
I'm outta cigarettes an' I'm down to my last drag
I'd sure hate to break down here
Nothin' up ahead or in the rear view mirror
Out in the middle of no-where, knowin'
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin'
So, God help me, keep me movin' somehow
Don't let me start wishin' I was with him now
I made it this far without cryin' a single tear
I'd sure hate to break down here
Under fifty thousand miles ago
Before the bad blood an' busted radio
He said I was all he had ever needed
But love is blind an' little did I know
You were just another dead end road
Made with pretty lies an' broken dreams
Baby, leavin' you is easier than bein' gone
I don't know what I'll do if one more thing goes wrong
I'd sure hate to break down here
Nothin' up ahead or in the rear view mirror
Out in the middle of no-where, knowin'
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin'
So, God help me, keep me movin' somehow
Don't let me start wishin' I was with him now
I made it this far without cryin' a single tear
An' I'd sure hate to break down here
Oh, no
I'd sure hate to break down here
With nothin' up ahead or in the rear view mirror
Out in the middle of no-where, knowin'
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin'
So, God help me, keep me movin' somehow
Don't let me start wishin' I was with him now
I made it this far without cryin' a single tear
An' I'd sure hate to break down
It's too late to turn around
I'd sure hate to break down here

If Heartaches Had Wings -Rhonda Vincient
It’s three in the morning on a Saturday night
The laundry and dishes just ain’t worth the fight
Headlights are dancin' across the living room wall
And that long distant highway just echos the hall
Now the babies are sleeping on back in their room
And he’s been passed out on the sofa since noon
Nobody told her about none of these things
And God knows, she’d leave there if heartaches had wings
If heartaches had wings she would fly
Away like some bird through the night
It’s a long, long way from a young girl’s dream
But she’d surely leave there if heartaches had wings
She grew up believin' that wishes come true:
A knight on a white horse, like some young girls do
So she married her the captain of the school football team
Just like she was supposed to as Homecoming Queen
If heartaches had wings she would fly
Away like some bird through the night
It’s a long, long way from a young girl’s dream
But she’d surely leave there if heartaches had wings
She turns out the lights and she lays down in bed
The sound of that highway still runs through her head
She closes her eyes and she whispers those prayers
And falls asleep wondering: "Does anyone care?"
If heartaches had wings she would fly
Away like some bird through the night
It’s a long, long way from a young girl’s dream
God knows, she’d leave there if heartaches had wings
If heartaches had wings
Back Of The Bottom Drawer -Chely Wright
In the back of the bottom drawer
Of the dresser by our bed
Is a box of odds and ends that I have always kept
But the man who sleeps beside me
Doesn’t know it’s even there
Little pieces of my past
That I shouldn’t have to share
A napkin that is stained with time
Has a poem on it that didn’t quite rhyme, but it made me cry
In a "Dear Jane" letter from a different guy
He broke up with me and he told me I’m not always right
And a stolen key from an old hotel room door
In the back of the bottom drawer
I don’t keep these things 'cause I’m longing to go back
I keep them because I want to stay right where I’m at
I’m reminded of my rights and wrongs
I don’t want to mess this up
But I wouldn’t know where I belong
Without this box of stuff
A birthday card from my first boyfriend
He signed it "I love you" so I gave in
Yeah, we went too far in his daddy’s car
And those Mardi Gras beads from '98
We danced all night, stayed out so late
We thought we were stars, closing down the bars
That champagne was cheap but still I’ve got that cork
In the back of the bottom drawer
I’m not trying to hide these things from the man I love today
But I’m a better woman for him, thanks to my yesterdays
So now I try to give more than I take
And I bite my tongue, fight the urge to say it’s my way
Or no way at all
And now I cherish love a whole lot more
'Cause of what’s
In the back of the bottom drawer
Somebody -Reba
At a diner down on Broadway they make small talk
When she brings his eggs and fills his coffee cup
He jokes about his love life
And tells her he's 'bout ready to give up
That's when she says,"I've been there before
But keep on lookin' 'cause maybe who you're lookin' for is..."
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody
Across town in a crowded elevator
He can't forget the things that waitress said
He usually reads the paper
But today he reads a strangers face instead
It's that blue-eyed girl from two floors up
Maybe she's the one maybe he could fall in love with
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody
Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
A moment they'd both missed until that day
When he saw his future in her eyes
Instead of just another friendly face
And he wonders why he searched so long
When she was always there at that diner waiting on
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right on by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody
Somewhere out there is somebody
Every Other Memory -Trick Pony
I thought I had it beat, I thought I was cured
I didn't feel the need for you anymore
I had an iron will so I dropped my guard
Then I found I still had you in my heart
I gave up, I tried my best
It's time to admit I'm powerless, but...
Hey, I'm gonna be fine
Takin' it one step at a time
Prayin' you right off of my mind
If only for today
I may never be free
It's a lifelong recovery
But when I think of you and me
At least I cut it down to every other memory
Once a habit's formed, man, it's hard to quit
I'm countin' on the Lord to help me forget
His tender kiss and the way we touched
I tried to resist but I'm not strong enough
Little by little I'm facing the facts
It's two steps forward and one step back
Hey, I'm gonna be fine
Takin' it one step at a time
Prayin' you right off of my mind
If only for today
I may never be free
It's a lifelong recovery
But when I think of you and me
At least I cut it down to every other memory
Hey, I'm gonna be fine
Takin' it one step at a time
Prayin' you right off of my mind
If only for today
I may never be free
It's a lifelong recovery
But when I think of you and me
At least I cut it down to every other memory
At least I cut it down to every other memory
Every other memory
It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing -Shania Twain
Hope life's been good to you
Since you've been gone
I'm doin' fine now--I've finally moved on
It's not so bad--I'm not that sad
I'm not surprised just how well I survived
I'm over the worst, and I feel so alive
I can't complain--I'm free again
And it only hurts when I'm breathing
My heart only breaks when it's beating
My dreams only die when I'm dreaming
So, I hold my breath--to forget
Don't think I'm lyin' 'round cryin' at night
There's no need to worry, I'm really all right
I've never looked back--as a matter of fact
And it only hurts when I'm breathing
My heart only breaks when it's beating
My dreams only die when I'm dreaming
So, I hold my breath--to forget
It only hurts when I breathe
Mmm, no, I've never looked back--as a matter fact
And it only hurts when I'm breathing
My heart only breaks when it's beating
My dreams only die when I'm dreaming
So, I hold my breath--to forget
Hurts when I'm breathing
Breaks when it's beating
Die when I'm dreaming
It only hurts when I breathe
The Hard Way -Faith Hill
I hear every word they say
They tell me to stay away
They say I'm better off without you baby
You've caused me nothin but pain
Heartaches your middle name
But seems I never see it coming
I'll just admit it baby
You really drive me crazy
Let go of my heart
Cause every time you're near me
I can't think clearly
Defenses fall apart
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin'
The hard way
You're the hardest lesson, baby of my life
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin'
The hard way
Someday baby, I will get it right
I never will understand why I let you
Think you can
Treat me any way you please baby
I guess I hope someday
You'll settle down and say
Give me all the love I need baby
Time and time I've found
You always let me down
Always ends the same way
You'd think that I could see
The way you're treatin me
Won't ever change
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin'
The hard way
You're the hardest lesson, baby of my life
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin'
The hard way
Someday baby, I will get it right
If I could just hold on
If I could just be strong
My heart would see it's wrong
lovin you, lovin you
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin'
The hard way
You're the hardest lesson, baby of my life
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin'
The hard way
Someday baby, I will get it right
Livin' and lovin' and learnin'
The hard way
You're the hardest lesson, baby of my life
I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin'
The hard way
Someday baby, I will get it right
There ya'll go.. :D
