Mind, Body and Soul

Right to Be Wrong

I've got a right to be wrong
My mistakes will make me strong
I'm stepping out into the great unknown
I'm feeling wings though I've never flown
Got a mind of my own
I'm flesh and blood to the bone
I'm not made of stone
Got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone

Got a right to be wrong
I've been held down too long
I've got to break free
So I can finally breathe
Got a right to be wrong
Got to sing my own song
I might be singing out of key
But it sure feels good to me
Got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone

You're entitled to your opinion
But it's really my decision
I can't turn back I'm on a mission
If you care don't you dare blur my vision
Let me be all that I can be
Don't smother me with negativity
Whatever's out there waiting for me
I'm going to face it willingly ooh

Got a right to be wrong
My mistakes will make me strong
I'm stepping out into the great unknown
I'm feeling wings though I've never flown
I've got a mind of my own
I'm flesh and blood to the bone
See, I'm not made of stone
Got a right to be wrong ooh
So just leave me alone

Got a right to be wrong
I've been held down too long
I've got to break free
So I can finally breathe
Got a right to be wrong
Got to sing my own song
I might be singing out of key
But it sure feels good to me
I've got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone

Got a right, got a right
Got a right, got a right

Snakes and Ladders

In the game of love
It takes all you got
Just to keep it moving up
Don't you wanna reach the top
But heaven seems such a crazy dream
If your heart has room for doubt
You're neither in you're neither out

Ninety nine and a half, it just won't do
You gotta give me all of you
Not asking too much of a heart that's true
So tell me

What's the name of the game that we are playing
Boy whenever I think that we are winning
Then you roll the dice take a slide
Right back to the one from ninety nine
Is it gonna go on like this forever
Are we gonna to take that last step together
Going round and round and up and down
Feels just like snakes and ladders

Baby don't it feel like a carousel
Where all the world is rushing by
But when it stops you realize
That you're right back where you started at
I need a little more than that
It time for us to face the facts

Whether to be or not to be
That is the question so it seems
We're going nowhere in between
So tell me

What's the name of the game that we are playing
Boy whenever I think that we are winning
Then you roll the dice take a slide
Right back to the one from ninety nine
Is it gonna go on like this forever
Are we gonna to take that last step together
Going round and round and up and down
Feels just like snakes and ladders

Don't wanna play this game no more
I gotta know right now for sure
What am I giving my heart for
Baby I need a little more
Don't leave me hanging on a string
Now that I gave you everything
Not when I play to win
Snakes and ladders

What's the name of the game that we are playing
Boy whenever I think that we are winning
Then you roll the dice take a slide
Right back to the one from ninety nine
Is it gonna go on like this forever
Are we gonna to take that last step together
Going round and round and up and down
Feels just like snakes and ladders

What's the name of the game that we are playing
Boy whenever I think that we are winning
Then you roll the dice take a slide
Right back to the one from ninety nine
Is it gonna go on like this forever
Are we gonna to take that last step together
Going round and round and up and down
Feels just like snakes and ladders

Jet Lag

Little angels
Whisper softly
While my heart melts
For you and I'll see
Only sunshine
Only moonlight
For the first time its real

And the higher you take me
The more that you make me
Feel so hazy
Tell me what this means

I got jet lag and I never even left the ground
See it's like that every time you come around
Oh, I'm so hung over and I never even touched a drop
See I can't get enough
This must be love
(Jet lag, jet lag)

How the time flies
When you're near me
Get those butterflies
Inside and I'll be
Where the stars shine
Where the birds fly
Till the next time you're mine

And the higher you take me
The more that you make me
Feel so hazy
Tell me what this means

I got jet lag and I never even left the ground
See it's like that every time you come around
Oh, I'm so hung over and I never even touched a drop
See I can't get enough
This must be love
(Jet lag, jet lag)

Whenever you're with me
It feels like gravity
Ain't got no hold on me
Tell me what does this mean
This must be love
Love

I got jet lag and I never even left the ground
(Jet lag, jet lag)
And it's like that every time you come around
(Every time you come around)
I'm so hung over and see I never even touched one drop
See I got jet lag

Baby don't cha know

Yeah yeah
Baby don't cha know

Jet lag and I never even left the ground
See it's like that every time you come around
Oh, I'm so hung over and I never even touched a drop
I never even left the ground

Jet lag, jet leg

Jet lag and I never even left the ground
See it's like that every time you come around

Understand

I hope you'll understand
That I can't always come when you call
Understand everybody has their faults
Please understand not to worry who I'm with or what I do
Cause I understand that I'm in love with you
Do you understand that I'm in love with you

I keep our song on repeat
On my ipod, even when I sleep
And in my dream I'm holding you
Alone on an island, just us two

I hope you'll understand
That I can't always come when you call
Understand everybody has their faults
Please understand not to worry who I'm with or what I do
Cause I understand that I'm in love with you

The last guy had me so wrong
He kept complaining I was away too long
Don't do me that way cause in your head
You've got to trust me I won't be led

I hope you'll understand
That I can't always come when you call
Understand everybody has their faults
Please understand not to worry who I'm with or what I do
Cause I understand that I'm in love with you
Do you understand I'm in love with you

I hope your mind ain't working overtime
I hope your memories are full of good times with me
Don't trip if right now I can't answer the phone
Cause you know that soon I'll be coming home

I hope you'll understand
That I can't always come when you call
Understand everybody has their faults
Please understand not to worry who I'm with or what I do
Cause I understand that I'm in love with you
Do you understand I'm in love with you

Do you understand that I'm in love with you boy

You Had Me

You had me
You lost me
You're wasted
You cost me
I don't want you here messing with my mind

Spitting in my eyes and I still see
Tried to keep me down
I'm breaking free
I don't want no part in your next fix
Someone needs to tell you this is it

Hey listen you'll be missin'
Out on my love and my kissing
Make your mistakes on your own time
When you come down you're just no good to have around
Instead of making money you took mine

You had me
You lost me
You're wasted
You cost me
I don't want you here messing with my mind
I've realized in time
That my eyes are not blind
I've seen it before
I'm taking back my life

You tried to trade on my naivete
But the things you do and say embarrass me
See once upon a time I was your fool
But the one I leave behind is you

Hey listen you'll be missin'
Out on all my love and my kissing
Make your mistakes on your own time
When you come down you're just no good to have around
Instead of making money you took mine

You had me
You lost me
You're wasted
You cost me
I don't want you here messing with my mind
I've realized in time
That my eyes are not blind
I've seen it before
I'm taking back my life

Vodka and a packet of cigarettes
That's all it used to be but now
You're sniffing on snow when you're feeling low
Suffocating dreams that could have been
Maybe for a minute I was down with that
But it didn't take long for me to see the light
You swore you had control of it
When I stepped back you slipped on your supply

You had me
You lost me
You're wasted
You cost me
I don't want you here messing with my mind
I've realized in time
That my eyes are not blind
I've seen it before
I'm taking back my life

Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Ain't nobody got no business stressing all the time
Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life

You had me
You lost me
You're wasted
You cost me
I don't want you here messing with my mind
I've realized in time
That my eyes are not blind
I've seen it before
I'm taking back my life

Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life
Ain't nobody got no business stressing all the time
Taking it back I'm taking it back
Taking back my life

Don't Know How

You caught my eye
And out of nowhere you appeared
By surprise and it's not like me but certainly, I
I heard myself calling for you

Could it be fate
I'm feeling butterflies
And I can't escape
And it's like a rush that's coming over me
The sight of you just takes me away

Boy you're so fine
And I wanna tell ya so
I'm much too shy
Wanna make you mine
But I don't know how

Got so much time
Your attitude, everything
You make me smile
Think I'm falling in deep for no reason why
I can't help myself yeah yeah

Friends think I'm wrong
For being head over heels
I should be strong
Should I stay and deal with it
Or should I just let go
Oh no

Boy you're so fine
And I wanna tell ya so
I'm much too shy
Wanna make you mine
But I don't know how

Feeling crazy my heart beats racing now
I can't fight it
Got to make you mine
But I don't know how

Ya got to show me some how, how you feel
Cause I can't take it no more

But I don't know how hey hey

Feeling crazy my heart beats racing now
I can't fight it
Got to make you mine
But I don't know how

Spoiled

I kinda thought that I'd be better off by myself
I've never been so wrong before
You made it impossible for me to ever
Love somebody else
And now I don't know what I left you for
See I thought that I could replace you
He can't love me the way you do
Till now I never knew
Baby

I'm spoiled
By your love boy
No matter how I try to change my mind
What's the point it's just a waste of time
I'm spoiled by your touch boy
The love you give is just too hard to fight
Don't want to live without you in my life
I'm spoiled

I tried to tell myself that I'd be over you in a week or two
But baby that was 'bout a year ago
I've never seen the word love so personified as I do with you
And that is why I, I just can't let go, oh no

I'm spoiled
By your love boy
No matter how I try to change my mind
What's the point it's just a waste of time
I'm spoiled by your touch boy
The love you give is just too hard to fight
Don't want to live without you in my life
I'm spoiled
Spoil me
Ooh yeah yeah

And I would only be fooling myself if I tried to
Believe there's room for someone else in my heart
There ain't no way I'm getting over you
I don't know what I've been trying to prove
I'm hopeless, helpless when it comes to you you you

I'm spoiled
By your love boy
No matter how I try to change my mind
What's the point it's just a waste of time
I'm spoiled by your touch boy
The love you give is just too hard to fight
Don't want to live without you in my life
I'm spoiled
I've been spoiled yeah yeah

Torn and Tattered

Might as well get used to you
End it all like you said you'll do
Cause talk is cheap boy out on the street
Cause people know when there's heat

I'm torn and I'm tattered
Sick and tired living my life singing the same old song
Oh I, I feel a little battered
Looks like I'm living my life running a one-man show
Oh, I, I don't know where the feeling's gone
I'll survive, I'll stay alive, I'm gonna carry on

Tell me tell me, won't you tell me
Where's my mister man
Who will try to deny me now
Everything I plan to be

I'm torn and I'm tattered
Sick and tired living my life singing the same old song
Oh I, I feel a little battered
Looks like I'm living my life running a one-man show
Oh, I, I don't know where the feeling's gone
I'll survive, I'll stay alive, I'm gonna carry on

Riding the rodeo
Up and down we go, yeah
Riding the rodeo
Up and down we go, yeah
Where we'll end up
I just don't know
Like a rodeo
Down we go

I'm torn and I'm tattered
Sick and tired living my life singing the same old song
Oh I, I feel a little battered
Looks like I'm living my life running a one-man show
Oh, I, I don't know where the feeling's gone
I'll survive, I'll stay alive, I'm gonna carry on

I got to walk away
I got to end this pain
I'm gonna make it through
See, I'm getting over you
I got to walk away
I got to end this pain
I'm gonna make it through
See, I'm getting over you

I'll stay, stay alive

Riding a rodeo, so high, so fly)

(I don't know)
I'm torn and I'm tattered

Don't Cha Wanna Ride

I know you got the hummer for the summer baby
But I got your number baby
I got your number baby

I was trying to protect you from yourself
Cause I respect you
And I feel like you just might
Be some one who I could get into
But I never seem to catch your eye
And it's been buggin' me why I even try
Still you're someone I'd like to get to know
Is there room for me in your one-man show

A car this fine don't pass your way everyday
Don't cha wanna ride baby
Don't cha wanna ride baby
A car this fine don't pass your way everyday
Don't cha wanna ride baby
Time is slipping by, bye, bye
Slipping by

I was trying to connect with you
But you acted scared when I'm checkin you
And all my girls say you're hard to please
But I think that I got just what you need
Get your face out of the mirror
Then maybe you could consider
This girl who's knockin' right at your door
Make room for me in your one-man show

A car this fine don't pass your way everyday
Don't cha wanna ride baby
Don't cha wanna ride baby
A car this fine don't pass your way everyday
Don't cha wanna ride baby
Time is slipping by, bye, bye
Oh

But do you, do you know that they can't give you what I give
No no

A car this fine don't pass your way everyday
Don't cha wanna ride baby
Said don't cha wanna ride baby
Time has gone to waste
A car this fine don't pass your way everyday
You better tell me to my face
Don't cha wanna ride baby
A car this fine don't pass your way everyday
Don't cha wanna ride baby
Don't cha wanna ride baby
A car this fine don't pass your way everyday
Don't cha wanna ride baby baby

Killing Time

Maybe life is better off this way
But what about the others who aren't here today
We struggle with the tide
Falling with our heart
But then in my mind
No point in killing time

You better stop what you're doing
Before you do it all wrong again
You better stop what you're doing
Before you do it all wrong again

I have tried to put it from my mind
To bury all the trouble that I've left behind
But still I can't explain
The words I just can't find
And I can't understand it
Ain't nothing gonna change my mind

You better stop what you're doing
Before you do it all wrong again
(Get it right this time)
See you better stop what you're doing
Before you do it all wrong again
(You're gonna have to get it right this time)

I know I may be young
And know nothing of this world
Oh Lord, it's been long
In its coming
I don't care if my words sound absurd
This play won't play this time

You better stop what you're doing
Before you do it all wrong again
You do it all wrong again
Stop what you're doing
You better stop what you're doing
Before you do it all wrong again
You'll do it all wrong again
You'll do it all wrong again

Can't get it out of my mind
Can't you see that I'm not blind
I can see what you're doing
Stop what you're doing
What will it take for you to recognize your mistake boy
I was counting on you but now I know your just a first class fool

Stop what you're doing
You're just a first class fool
Stop what you're doing boy
Before you do it all wrong again
You better stop what you're doing
Before you do it all wrong again
First class fool, first class fool yeah

Stop what you're doing
Before you do it all wrong again
You have to get it right this time
Before it gets all out of hand

Less is More

Don't go sending me those three dozen roses
Don't you know that just one rose will do
Don't go trying to put diamonds on my fingers
Don't you know that I'm making money too

Don't go throwing those stones outside my window
You don't gotta be calling three times a day
Cause if you do then when we get together
I'll be biting my lip 'cause there's nothing else left to say

Haven't you heard absence makes the heart grow fonder
Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight
I'm telling you straight baby, just in case you wonder
It's turning me off, crowding me out its not right

Less is more
Back it up slow it down let it breathe
Cause you too much of a good thing can be
Bad
See we don't wanna go out like that
Less is more
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out
If you want me to still be around
Remember

If you wanna be showing your affection
Don't you know a simple kiss will do
So many beautiful ways for love's expression
But I'm sorry to say your way ain't getting through

Haven't you heard a little space makes the heart grow fonder
Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight no
I'm telling you straight baby, just in case you wonder
It's turning me off, crowding me out its not right

Less is more
Back it up slow it down let it breathe
Cause you too much of a good thing can be
Bad
See we don't wanna go out like that
Less is more
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out
If you want me to still be around
Remember

It would be something if I had a chance to be missing you
Too much for taking it's driving me crazy
That's all you do
It needs rearranging
It's so suffocating
That I can't move
You gotta take two steps back
Believe what they say
It's true

Less is more
Back it up slow it down let it breathe
Cause you too much of a good thing can be
Bad, be so bad
Less is more
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out
If you want me to still be around
Remember

Gimme a chance to miss you
Boy I don't mean to dis you, but
I tell you I need some space and still you call me up three times a day
You know, baby you crowding me out
Haven't you heard less is more
Less is more
You listening boy?
Less is more

Sleep Like a Child

Tonight when the darkness comes
Why don't we treat it like a friend
Then we'll both be glad to see the night
And we'll be hoping
It's never gonna end
So don't be afraid of what the night-time may bring
You must understand that you can dream of anything

So fall into sleep
Peaceful and deep
And may this journey help you fly
When you can't hold out much longer
Don't you cry
When the darkness is getting stronger
Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down
I pray your soul to keep
Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down
I pray your soul to keep

You won't be alone
For I will not be denied
Under the darkest of skies
I'm gonna be by your side

So fall into sleep
Peaceful and deep
And may this journey help you fly
When you can't hold out much longer
Don't you cry
When the darkness is getting stronger
Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down
I pray your soul to keep
Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down
I pray your soul to keep

Well I know
I can see it in your eyes
You're tired of fighting everyday
Trying to struggle through the night
Yes I know that it's hard to carry on
So just lay down your head
And in your dreams you will be strong

Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down
I pray your soul to keep
Oh like a child
Peaceful and deep ooh ooh

Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down
I pray your soul to keep oh

Sleep like a child ooh
Sleep like a child

Security

A loss that would have thrown
A hole through anybody's soul
And you were only human after all
So don't hold back the tears my dear
Release them so your eyes can clear
I know that you will rise again
But you gotta let them fall
I wish that I could snap my fingers
Erase the past but no
You cannot rewind reality
Once the tape's unrolled

If your spirit's broken and you can't bear the pain
I will help you put the pieces back
A little more each day
And if your heart is locked and you can't find the key
Lay your head upon my shoulder
I'll set you free
I'll be your security

A moment of despair
That forces you to say that life's unfair
It makes you scared of what tomorrow may bring oh
But don't go giving into fear
Stop hiding all alone in there
The show keeps going on and on
But you'll miss the whole damn thing
I wish I had a crystal ball to see what the future holds
But we don't know how the story ends till it's all been told

If your spirit's broken and you can't bear the pain
I will help you put the pieces back
A little more each day
And if your heart is locked and you can't find the key
Lay your head upon my shoulder
I'll set you free
I'll be your security

On any clock upon the wall
The time is always now
So baby kiss the past goodbye
Don't let the future blow your mind
Just sit back and chill
Take things as they come
You can't be afraid
To live for today
I will be with you each step of the way

If your spirit's broken and you can't bear the pain
I will help you put the pieces back
Bit by bit each and every day
And if your heart is locked and you can't find the key
Lay your head upon my shoulder
I'll set you free
I'll be your security

If your spirit's broken and you can't bear the pain
If you're hurting this time
I will help you put the pieces back
Ooh to the tears you cry
And if your heart is locked and you can't find the key
Lay your head upon my shoulder
I'll set you free
I'll be your security
I'll be there for you to lean on
When you need a friend
When you need a friend oh
Lay your head upon my shoulder
Lean on me
I'll be your security

Daniel (Bonus Track)

He shares my blood
He haunts my soul
Will he ever know, ever know
He's cutting his own skin
He's my brother
Comes straight from my mother
He's stronger than he thinks he is
Let him know, let him know

I pray to God
Will he help him
Does he deserve this?
I don't know
At times he comes across selfish
But he ain't a bad person
This I know

His lies, his cheats, his stealings
Makes me cry
Till I stop breathing
He simply lost his mind
Lord, I'm asking lord
Will you help him find it?

Oh always said
Find a will, and you'll find a way
I remember that each and every day
Daniel would you listen to the words I say
Writing this was harder than you'd ever think
You've got a heart
You've got a mind
You've got a soul
And your eyes are kind, your eyes are kind
And your eyes are kind

Daniel would you listen to the words I sing
Writing this was harder than you'd ever think

Young at Heart

You're wasting your time
Trying to tear us two apart
You can't stop our plans
We were destined from the start
He loves me
I love him
And even though we're young at heart
See you're the one in denial

Tired of creeping around when I'm craving for
His kiss
Whenever I'm lonely he is the only one
I miss
You say it ain't right but I think that you got it wrong
It's bliss
And I love him yeah yeah
I love him

He makes me go ooh
When he looks at me
Ooh
And it's plain to see
Nothing you can do ooh
To discourage me
And I love him
I really love him

You're wasting your time
Trying to tear us two apart
You can't stop our plans
We were destined from the start
He loves me
I love him
And even though we're young at heart
See you're the one in denial

My parents say I'm too good and that he doesn't deserve me
My friends think he's not cool enough so they'd rather desert me
My sister says her boyfriend has a brother and she'll introduce me
But I don't want him, no
I've got my man

There's nothing you can do ooh
To discourage me
I'm cool with my man's family
If you were in my shoes
You'd feel differently
But you're in denial
You're in denial oh

You're wasting your time
Trying to tear us two apart
You can't stop our plans
We were destined from the start
He loves me
I love him
And even though we're young at heart
See you're the one in denial
You're the one in denial
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one in denial

Said I would cry for him
Lie for him
Hell I'd even die for him
Cry for him
Lie for him
Hell I'd even die for him
Cry for him
Lie for him
Hell I'd even die for him

You're wasting your time
Trying to tear us two apart
You can't stop our plans
We were destined from the start
He loves me
I love him
And even though we're young at heart
See you're the one in denial

You're wasting your time
Trying to tear us two apart
You can't stop our plans
We were destined from the start
He loves me
I love him
And even though we're young at heart
See you're the one, you're the one
You're the one in denial
