(Show me)
You tell me that your heart could never lie
And every other beat is just a weight off your shoulders
Tell me girl, how can you be so cruel?
I promise you this boy won’t ever fall in love again
That’s just my foolish pride, yeah!
And now I feel so much hurt inside
When I hear you say
(You’ll never be one of the beautiful boys)
I could love you better than him
(One of the beautiful boys)
Won’t you let me show you I can?
(Show me)
Everybody needs someone to care
Every other fling is just a heartbreak in motion
Open up - why can’t you let me in?
Maybe when the thrill is gone you’ll wanna find another man
Love’s just a game we play, hey yeah!
And when I’m sure this is all I can take
I still hear you say
(You’ll never be one of the beautiful boys)
I could love you better than him
(One of the beautiful boys)
Won’t you let me show you I can?
(You’ll never be one of the beautiful boys)
I could love you better than him
(One of the beautiful boys)
Won’t you let me show you I can?
(One of the beautiful boys)
I could love you better than him
(One of the beautiful boys)
Won’t you let me show you I can? (Yeah yeah!)
Won’t you let me show you I can? (Show me!)
I could love you better than him (Oh yeah!)

Arms of a Stranger
04:30

(Falling into the arms of a stranger)
Now we march together as one
Sometimes my heart just wants to hide away
Some days I never see the sun
No one can hurt me here if I throw away the key
But then you walk right into the room
I feel the spark, and I know you’re no good for me
I can’t fight (I can’t fight) - I can’t help myself
Here comes the heartache
(Falling into the arms of a stranger)
Now we march together as one
(Electricity runs through my veins)
And the world comes undone
Give me the hopeless and broken hearted
Give me your tired and your poor
I’m just a magnet and I can’t close this golden door, oh no!
Maybe I’m better off living alone
If love is heaven, why the hell does it feel so bad?
I can’t fight (I can’t fight) – I can’t help myself
I’m losing again
(Falling into the arms of a stranger)
Now we march together as one
(Electricity runs through my veins)
And the world comes undone
Oh no, I’m in love! Honey please!
It ain’t no mystery, I’ve been this way for years
Yeah I just keep crawling back for more
Here comes the heartache...
(Falling into the arms of a stranger)
Now we march together as one
(Electricity runs through my veins)
And the world comes undone
(Falling into the arms of a stranger)
Now we march together as one
(Electricity runs through my veins)
And the world comes undone

Could Have Been a Star
03:42

This is a cage - don’t clip my wings
Fly me too close to the sun
Well there must be more than 9 to 5
How about number 1?
I’d give anything to let myself get compromised,
Open up that door and let me close my eyes
You’ll remember my name
Oh I need the world to know
I could have been a star - oh oo oo!
(Oh how I wish I might)
Where did I go wrong?
Burnin’ like a star - oh oh oh oo oo!
(The best you’ll see tonight)
Where did I go wrong?
Give me the stage, turn up the lights
I got so much left to say
Well the melodies may run and hide
But the pain still remains
Only everything could satisfy an appetite like this
Another year, another chance I miss
Just remember my name
Oh I need the world to know
I could have been a star - oh oo oo!
(Oh how I wish I might)
Where did I go wrong?
Burnin’ like a star - oh oh oh oo oo!
(The best you’ll see tonight)
Where did I go wrong?
Star of wonder, star of light, star with royal beauty bright
I wish you may, I wish you might, make my dreams come true tonight
Oh you’d never understand my insecurity
I’d chase a dream until my feet start bleeding
Just remember my name
Oh I need the world to know
I could have been a star - oh oo oo!
(Oh how I wish I might)
Where did I go wrong?
Burnin’ like a star - oh oh oh oo oo!
(The best you’ll see tonight)
Where did I go wrong?
I know I could have been a star - oh oo oo!
(Oh how I wish I might)
Where did I go wrong?
Burnin’ like a star - oh oh oh oo oo!
(The best you’ll see tonight)
Where did I go wrong?

All I Can Do
04:43

It’s 4 in the morning, I feel
Like I’m too tired - much too tired to sleep
Turn on the radio for a little while
Oh it was playing that song
You know the one from the better days
I’m thinking about you
It says - this is good enough
What kinda fool do you think that I’ve become?
This is all I can do (all I can do for you)
Gotta bite my tongue and hide my emotions
(All I can do for you)
Yeah it’s all I can do (all I can do for you)
Gotta make my way in the world
(All I can do for you now)
Unspoken expectations
They won’t let go - I’m living in the past
Wish I could sing a different tune
I know you don’t get to choose
And you won’t get another
So I’m thinking about you
She’d say - she can’t remember
But I - I can’t forget
I just cried away the tears
And this is all that I can do (all I can do for you)
Gotta bite my tongue and hide my emotions
(All I can do for you)
Yeah it’s all I can do (all I can do for you)
Gotta make my way in the world
(All I can do for you now)
Oh it was playing that song
You know the one from the better days
Well I’m thinking about you
It says - this is good enough
What kinda fool do you think that I’ve become?
This is all I can do (all I can do for you)
Gotta bite my tongue and hide my emotions
(All I can do for you)
Yeah it’s all I can do (all I can do for you)
Gotta make my way in the world
(All I can do for you now)
This is all I can do (all I can do for you)
Gotta bite my tongue and hide my emotions
(All I can do for you)
Yeah it’s all I can do (all I can do for you)
Gotta make my way in the world
(All I can do for you now)
Yeah, yeah!

Shotgun! Oh ho!
I took a shotgun to my record collection last night
Now there’s no more rock and roll gettin’ played on my stereo
Oh by the light of a neon sign, sell your soul one lick at a time
No you don’t stand a chance, the world - it just wants to dance
Rock and roll is dead!
(This is the new sound, I got the new beat)
(Let’s get you up - get you up on your feet)
Rock and roll is dead!
(This is the new sound, I got the new beat)
(Let’s get you off - get you up off your seat)
Where are your heroes? Now a generation is gone
What a cruel, cruel bitch, you better clutch those memories
Oh by the light of a neon sign, sell your soul one lick at a time
No you don’t stand a chance, the world - it just wants to dance
Rock and roll is dead!
(Honey this the new sound, I got the new beat)
(Let’s get you up - get you up on your feet)
Rock and roll is dead!
(This is the new sound, I got the new beat)
(Let’s get you off - get you up off your seat)
Ooh, bodies in motion! Bodies in love!
I took a shotgun! Shotgun! Oh ho!
(This is the new sound, I got the new beat)
(Let’s get you off - get you up off your seat)
(This is the new sound, I got the new beat)
(Let’s get you off - get you up off your seat)
Rock and roll is dead!
(This is the new sound, I got the new beat)
(Let’s get you up - get you up on your feet)
Rock and roll is dead!
(This is the new sound, I got the new beat)
(Let’s get you off - get you up off your seat)
Rock and roll is dead!
Rock and roll is dead! Yeah yeah!

Somewhere you’re waiting in the window, eyes to the sky
Straight on til sunrise, time to fly
Well cry out and show that you’re a fighter, cry out with me!
You need the courage to fight till we’re free! Oh, we’re singing!
You’ll never hold me back, you’ll never take control
(You got to save yourself) I got a warrior’s soul!
(We climb a million steps) I’ll climb a million more
(No time to catch your breath) I am invincible!
Don’t even talk about forgiveness, you’ve done nothing wrong
Look for the answers in a song
Stand up and think about tomorrow, stand up today!
You got the will, let me show you the way! I believe!
You’ll never hold me back, you’ll never take control
(You got to save yourself) Well I got a warrior’s soul!
(We climb a million steps) And I’ll climb a million more
(No time to catch your breath) I am invincible!
So dream that impossible dream
Laugh, let the whole world hear you
Never give up, never give in
When it feels like you’re falling apart, and I can’t go on
I will be strong!
(You’ll never hold us back) You’ll never take control
(You got to save yourself) I got a warrior’s soul!
(We climb a million steps) I’ll climb a million more
(No time to catch your breath) I am invincible!
I am invincible! I will be strong!
We are all invincible!

Just like your mama always told you
Some boys are gonna leave you with a broken heart
I gotta say I’m the one for ya baby
Let’s give it a shot, yeah, I’m just acting like a fool
Just like a child, I gotta have my way
Oh I finally found the words to say
And she don’t wanna listen no more
Here I am! But she doesn’t wanna be my girl
Oh I can’t move on and I just can’t get over
She’ll never be, doesn’t wanna be my girl
She’d never love me anyway
Just like your mama always told you
Don’t ever talk to strangers that act like friends
You know I’ve always been there by your side
But I want more
I get jealous of your boyfriends
I can’t help the way I feel inside
If I offer you my shoulder
Would it make you feel secure?
Ooh! Here I am! But she doesn’t wanna be my girl
I just stamp my feet and cry like a baby
She’ll never be - doesn’t wanna be my girl
Maybe I’m wrong?
Cause I don’t really know you, and this is just a fantasy
So I wrote this song
It’s a fairy tale starring only you and me
Let’s just imagine a world
Where everything I want is real, oh yeah
Let’s not project, cause the girl of my dreams
Just ain’t reality
I’m just acting like a fool
Just like a child, I’ve got to have my way
Oh I finally found the words to say
And she don’t wanna listen no more
Oh! Here I am! But she doesn’t wanna be my girl
Oh I can’t move on and I just can’t get over
She’ll never be - doesn’t wanna be my girl
(Here I am) But she doesn’t wanna be my girl
Oh I can’t move on and I just can’t get over
She’ll never be - doesn’t wanna be my girl
But she doesn’t wanna be my girl
Oh I can’t move on and I just can’t get over

The Rest of Me

(I wanna show)
Daddy, don’t you understand?
There’s more than one way to be a man
And I, I’ve done the best I can
Mother would you still be proud?
If I lived my life out loud?
Would you bury your head in the sand?
Is it time to play pretend?
(I don’t know the words I should say)
Come on, you gotta say it, say it!
(I just need the will and the way)
I’d love to show you the rest of me
I don’t think it’s funny and I know you’ll disagree
That it just may be the best of me
I don’t need permission to live the way I please
Let those seasons change and tensions grow
I’m sure you just can’t bear to know
That I’m not your baby, and I have pieces, that I can’t show
I’ve got love enough to match this pride
And hell if I’ll apologize
If I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t change one thing
I don’t know the words I should say
(Just gotta say it, baby!)
I just need the will and the way
I’d love to show you the rest of me
I don’t think it’s funny and I know you’ll disagree
That it just may be the best of me
I don’t need permission to live the way I please
(I wanna show!)
I’d love to show you the rest of me
I don’t think it’s funny and I know you’ll disagree
That it just may be the best of me
I don’t need permission to live the way I please
I’d love to show you the rest of me
I don’t think it’s funny and I know you’ll disagree
That it just may be the best of me
I don’t need permission to live the way I please

Waiting for a bus - Standing in line - Going grocery shopping and pretty much everywhere and anywhere. You can listen to this track over and over again and I feel like it doesn't get old.
