How many times have I gotta try
Keep getting nowhere
Holding it all down inside
Don’t know why I try
Every time I see you
I gotta hold you
I gotta feel you
I gotta tell you how I love you
Oh I do
But I keep forgetting you gotta love me too
I feel like such a fool for loving you
(Chorus)
I’m a fool for lovin’ you
I’m a fool for lovin’ you
I’m a fool for lovin’ you
I keep on waiting I keep on hoping
To see your heart and to hear you say how much you need me
And that you love me too
But the words never come
Don’t know what to do
I feel like such a fool for loving you
Chorus (Yes, a fool)
Solo
Baby
I feel so lost in you
I wonder what to do, I feel a fool
Chorus (Such a fool)
Chorus (I’m a fool)

Fortunate Son
02:40
|

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Oh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no furtunate one, no
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, Lord?
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Yeah-yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Oh, they send you down to war
And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
Oh, they only answer, "More, more, more, more"
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son, son, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, one
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son, no, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me...

You're a Nice Guy But...
03:41
|

Dumped again, my heart ripped apart like a condom wrapper on grad night
I remember it like it was yesterday, Kathy and I were going to last forever
I loved her, she loved me, nothing could have been better
But pretty quick the music stopped and I was left without a chair
You know, I thought she said she’d never leave me, I thought she said she’d always love me
I remember going over to her house crying “Baby I love you, please don’t leave me”
But she didn’t care, she just looked at me and said:
You’re a nice guy but… It’s not you, it’s me
You’re a nice guy but … you can do better than me
You’re a nice guy but… I’m just a little confused
You’re a nice guy but… I want to date other people
You’re a nice guy but… you’re just a friend
I learned two things about breaking up that weekend
The first, Tequila kills the pain, and the second, country songs were written by guys like me
But I moved on, I grew up, I met Melissa
She came, she went, she said:
You’re a nice guy but… It’s not you, it’s me
You’re a nice guy but … you can do better than me
You’re a nice guy but… I’m just a little confused right now
You’re a nice guy but… I want to date other people
You’re a nice guy but… you’re just a friend
Now, a couple of weeks ago I met Shelley at the local meet market
She didn’t have much to sell, but I was a desperate buyer
Couple of weeks after meeting Shelley, I met Danielle
Shelley was nice, but Danielle was everything I’ve always wanted in a girl
Soft, sweet, pretty, with legs that could crush my head like a grape
Now, I didn’t know what to do with Shelley, me and her just wanted different things
She wanted me, I wanted Danielle
I didn’t want to hurt her, so I went with what works:
You’re a nice girl but… It’s not you, it’s me baby
You’re a nice girl but… you can do better than me
You’re a nice girl but…I’m just a little confused
You’re a nice girl but…I want to date other people
You’re a nice girl but … you’re just a friend
You’re a nice girl but…I didn’t want to hurt you, I had to
You’re a nice girl but… I’m thinking of your needs
You’re a nice girl but…we tried to make it work
You’re a nice girl but…you just need to find yourself
You’re a nice girl but … we’re much better friends than lovers
You’re a nice girl but… I just need a break from us
You’re a nice girl but… we’ve grown apart
You’re a nice girl but…it was never really meant to be
You’re a nice girl but … you’re just a friend

Tender Years
03:53
|
|||
I remember that summer night
You held my hand so tight
The breeze was warm and the summer was ours to hold
You looked into my heart
Nothing could tear us apart
Now I dream of that summer I felt so long ago
Those were tender years
Filled with tender tears
Lost in the arms of love that wouldn’t let go
Tender years
Now have tender fears
Torn by the love I feel and the love I know
I always wish it away
That beach on Labour Day
I can still hear the waves breakin’ up on the shore
You said that we were through
How I begged and pleaded with you
But the sun still set now my heart it yearns for more
Those were tender years
Filled with tender tears
Lost in the arms of love that wouldn’t let go
Tender years
Now have tender fears
Torn by the love I feel and the love I know
Hearts are torn on a cool September night
Innocent love is always held too tight
Those were tender years
Filled with tender tears
Lost in the arms of love that wouldn’t let go
Tender years
Now have tender fears
Torn by the love I feel and the love I know
Lost in a dream of love that won’t let go

Summer looks so good on you
The sunshine and your smile it comes through
The days on the beach and the nights I share with you
Makes me want to hold you the whole year through
That’s how much I love you baby and everything you do
Summer looks so good on you
Summer makes me drift away
Endless starry nights and sun-kissed days
Hearts afire with the August sun
You hold my dreams I know you are the one
That’s how much I love you baby and everything you do
Summer looks so good on you
That’s how much I love you baby and everything you do
Summer looks so good on you
Summer - Looks so good on you
Summer - I know you love me too
Summer - Looks so good on you
Summer - I share it all with you
That’s how much I love you baby I know you love me too
Summer looks so good on you

The year I turned 17 was the year that I was told to dream
Where my life would go and what I’d find
But I was dreaming long ago and they told me I had to let it go
It was born to the innocence of a youthful mind
Dreams they help to keep us young and they shouldn’t be stopped by anyone
Who cares what others think you’ve gotta try
Those who look back to find that dreams were only nursery rhymes
Have lost themselves to “once upon a time”
High school can’t last forever
Innocence is just a state of mind
Those who look to days gone by regret the things they did not try
Aged by the bitter hope for a different time
So many years sped on by, my life has changed 1000 times
Everything and nothing is now mine
I’m not as young as I thought I’d be but I keep a certain virginity
Innocence and youth are in the mind
High school can’t last forever
Innocence is just a state of mind
Those who look to days gone by regret the things they did not try
Aged by the bitter hope for a different time
High school can’t last forever
Innocence is just a state of mind
Those who look to yesteryear always seem to shed a tear
Aged by the lost hope for another time

I Wonder

|

I wonder how I got so in love with you
I sit in the dark thinking about things we used to do
I wonder what I’ll have to do
I wonder what I’ll say
I wonder what am I gonna do to ease this lonely pain
I wonder --- what do I have to do
I wonder – what will I say
I wonder—what am I gonna do
I wonder – why am I still in love with you
Why am I still in love with you
I can’t control all those crazy things you do
I wonder what I’ll have to do
I wonder what I’ll say
I wonder what am I gonna do to ease this lonely pain
I wonder --- what am I gonna do
I wonder – what will I say
I wonder—what do I have to do
I wonder – why am I still in love with you
Why am I still in love with you
I wonder what I’ll have to do
I wonder what I’ll say
I wonder what am I gonna do to ease this lonely pain
I wonder --- what do I have to do
I wonder – what will I say
I wonder—what am I gonna do
I wonder – why am I still in love with you
Why am I still in love with you
I wonder --- what do I have to do
I wonder – what will I say
I wonder—what am I gonna do
I wonder – why am I still in love with you
Why am I still in love with you
Why am I still in love with you
Why am I still in love with you

I Saw Her Standing There
02:50
|
|||
Well, she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there?
Well, she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there
Well, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Ooh, since I saw her standing there
Well, my heart went, "Boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Oh, since I saw her standing there
Oh, since I saw her standing there
Yeah, well since I saw her standing there

Sorry Isn't Good Enough
02:44
|
|||
You told me there’s nothing more I can say there’s nothing more I can do
I’ve done enough to push you away you’re fed up you’re tired and through
I never wanted to walk on out on you
But with so much wrong it was the only right thing to do
I know
Lord I know
Sorry isn’t good enough for what I’ve done
I wish I could go back in time and change the things I’ve done
I know I’ve crossed love’s fine lines and things just can’t be undone
I never wanted to hurt our love this way
Words aren’t enough but still I need to say
I know
Lord I know
Sorry isn’t good enough for what I’ve done
I know we’re all but done
It’s just so hard ‘cause I love you so
I have to face myself
And live with how I let it all go
I know
Lord I know
Sorry isn’t good enough for what I’ve done
Sorry isn’t good enough for what I’ve done
Sorry isn’t good enough for what I’ve done

I try to keep it simple
I try to keep it clear
I try my best to hold onto you
To keep your lovin’ near
But you turn away and laugh when I shed my tears
You ripped my heart apart
You tore it up from the start
You ripped my heart apart
You tore it up from the start
You walked out on me and took with you all of my heart
I never thought
I never knew
I never dreamed
You’d leave my heart out to dry
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The day you left you never even said goodbye
You ripped my heart apart
You tore it up from the start
You ripped my heart apart
You tore it up from the start
You walked out on me and took with you all of my heart
I tried to beg
I tried to plead
I’m down on my knees please please don’t tell me goodbye
Yeah yeah yeah
The day you left was the day I started to cry
You ripped my heart apart
You tore it up from the start
You ripped my heart apart
You tore it up from the start
You walked out on me so cold
You left me standing alone
When you walked out on me
You ripped my heart apart

I'm So Tired
02:50
|
|||
I don’t want to move and I can’t get out of bed
The little bit of sleep I get is all that ever clears my head
Feeling sick, feeling scared, feeling like I just don’t care
I got a one-way ticket on a train that goes nowhere
I’m so tired, so tired, so tired
I’m so tired, so tired, so tired
I don’t know what to do, I can’t keep going on this way
The only thing I want to do is sleep away every day
I scream, and I scream, and I scream for some peace of mind
Everything I don’t do tears me all up inside
I’m so tired, so tired, so tired
I’m so tired, so tired, so tired
I’m so tired
I’m so tired
I’m so tired
And I’m wired
I’m so tired
Oh so tired
I’m so tired
I’m so tired
I’m so tired
And I’m wired
I’m so tired, give me some sleep
I’m so tired, I need some peace
I’m so tired, please- please- please
I’m so tired

Dreams Can Come True
03:30
|
|||
In these troubled times we all need a place to go
Somewhere to feel free
To leave behind the pain and sorrow we've come to know
That's where we all want to be
But time keeps moving on and we feel trapped inside
Scared of what we may or may not find
Through the edge of darkness we hear a sound
With lives on the line our dreams are found
With Hope
With Love
Dreams can come true
