I Want You To Be Mine

If I told you, baby 
That I love you so
Would you say the same
Or would you let me go?
Mmhmm
Mmhmm

About this thing we're doing
Is it really real?
Or is it just a fling?
Tell me what's the deal
Mmhmm
Mmhmm

'Cause I like you
And baby, you like me
It feels to me
Like synchronicity
Mmhmm
Synchronicity

CHORUS:
Let's not play all the games
Let's lay it on the line
Tell me that you want me
And want to be mine
This playing games is hard
And it's hardly worth the time
To pretend that I don't want you
I want you to be mine

If I told you, baby
That I love you so
Would you hold me close
Or would you let me go?
Mmhmm
Mmhmm

The way I'm feeling
Should be understood
I think you feel the same
And I think that's good
Mmhmm
Mmhmm

Tell me what you think
Am I off base here?
I've just gotta know
'Cause I love you, dear
Mmhmm
'Cause I love you, dear

CHORUS:
Let's not play all the games
Let's lay it on the line
Tell me that you want me
And want to be mine
This playing games is hard
And it's hardly worth the time
To pretend that I don't want you
I want you to be mine

Let's not play all the games
Let's lay it on the line
Tell me that you want me
And want to be mine
This playing games is hard
And it's hardly worth the time
To pretend that I don't love you
And want you to be mine

If I told you, baby
That I love you so
Would you say the same
Or would you let me go?







She Stopped Loving Me

It hurts to say I love you
And hear silence in return
I hate to have to think it
But I think that bridge is burned

There's never been someone I've loved as much 
Nor will there be
I wish she hadn't stopped
Loving me

I probably have myself to blame
I'm certainly no prize
I wonder how it felt to look 
At me through her green eyes

If only I had known the way 
She wanted me to be
She might have never stopped
Loving me

CHORUS
Yes, she stopped loving me
And now I pay the cost
With a broken heart
And with broken dreams
And a crippling sense of loss
I grieve for her
I miss her so
What she wants was not in me
For reasons that were all her own
She stopped loving me

Forget the past and just move on
Some friends of mine have said
Stop dwelling on what you can't change
It messes with your head

But never did they see her sides
That only I could see
Before she went and stopped
Loving me

CHORUS
Yes, she stopped loving me
And now I pay the cost
With a broken heart
And with broken dreams
And a crippling sense of loss
I grieve for her
I miss her so
What she wants was not in me
For reasons that were all her own
She stopped loving me

For reasons that were all her own
She stopped loving me

Don’t Mention His Name

I see you out about in town
Each now and then
We get to talking 
Almost like we did back when
I almost fool myself to think
It's all the same
'Til my fantasy comes crashing down
You say his name

CHORUS
Don't mention his name 
It's more than I can bear
'Cuz I'm all alone
While he's with you there
Don't mention his name
Oh, it hurts me so
'Cuz you let him in
When you let me go

I'm the guy who loved 
To take you anywhere
If we were together 
Then I didn't care
I go to places where we went 
They're not the same
In our circumstance 
The blame all falls upon one name

CHORUS
Don't mention his name 
It's more than I can bear
'Cuz I'm all alone
While he's with you there
Don't mention his name
Oh, it hurts me so
'Cuz you let him in
When you let me go

Every time I think 
I'm making some headway
To get back in your heart
Right where I want to stay
I hear the word that breaks my heart
And kills my flame
That dreaded word comes from your lips
You say his name

CHORUS
Don't mention his name 
It's more than I can bear
'Cuz I'm all alone
While he's with you there
Don't mention his name
Oh, it hurts me so
'Cuz you let him in
When you let me go

'Cuz you let him in
When you let me go



The Dream Is You

Hey, pretty baby I'm telling you
That it don't mean much that your eyes aren't blue
They're beautiful through and through 
Like you

I see the way you look at me
There's nothing else that makes me so happy
I'm happier than I could ever be
Just me

CHORUS
I kissed you in a dream 
About me and you
I kissed you in a dream 
And my dream came true
I kissed you in a dream 
Now I'm living that dream
And the dream is you

The freckles on your lovely face 
Are like a constellation in outer space
While here on Earth my rough hands brace
Your face

We cling together in the cool night air
I nuzzle close to your fragrant hair
There's no better place than being there
Night air

CHORUS
I kissed you in a dream 
About me and you
I kissed you in a dream 
And my dream came true
I kissed you in a dream 
Now I'm living that dream
And the dream is you

We float together through moonlit night
You dance in and out of the firelight
No one else has ever felt so right
At night

CHORUS
I kissed you in a dream 
About me and you
I kissed you in a dream 
And my dream came true
I kissed you in a dream 
Now I'm living that dream
And the dream is you

I kissed you in a dream
Now I'm living that dream
And the dream is you 










Big Sister

Big Sister sure could bake
A great poundcake
So moist and so delicious
How much butter does that take?
Each and every holiday
We'd count on Sister's sweets
Like cakes and pies and gooey things
And other yummy treats

Big Sister had the worst
Bad taste in men
They'd treat her wrong in every way
She'd take them back again
She'd feed them and she'd clothe them
And she'd give them everything
They never gave her anything
Especially not a ring

Big Sister was a nurse 
Most of her life
She worked ER and transplant
And helped save those in strife
She loved to help her patients
The thousands that there were
All owe a debt of gratitude
In no small part to her

Big Sister ran real late 
Most all the time
The reasons for her tardiness
Lacked reason and lacked rhyme
The one time she was early
Was when God took her home
He wanted my Big Sister
For a Sister of his own

Happy Song

People tell me I should write a happy song
But every time I try it always comes out wrong
I try to think about when I was happy, then
The more I think about it I get sad again
I know that one man's happiness should not depend
On being wed or having him a girlfriend
But the last time I was happy was when she was mine
The best that I can do without her is "Doing fine"

CHORUS
This is my happy song
Come on and sing along
Lalalalalalala ding dong
This is my happy song

Folks today are so concerned for people's moods
They doubt that there's good reason for their attitudes
But everyone's not happy, and not all the time
And last I heard a frown is a victimless crime
"At least you have your health" is just a nonsense phrase
From some unhappy soul who has seen better days
There's more to being hurt than what is physical
If someone tells you different they are slingin' bull----

CHORUS
This is my happy song
Come on and sing along
Lalalalalalala ding dong
This is my happy song

I guess you'll now believe I can't write happy songs
A different category is where this belongs
I start with good intentions, but just end up wrong
You should have believed I couldn't do it all along

CHORUS
This is my happy song
Come on and sing along
Lalalalalalala ding dong
This is my happy song
This is my happy song
This is my happy song
Ding Dong!






Too Little Loved

I met her at a short-lived job
She was much too young for me
But I thought she was beautiful
And her smile made me so happy
So I asked her out
Though full of doubt
My doubt was rightfully earned
She wasn't interested in return
She asked if I was married and I just laughed
And recounted to her of my past

CHORUS
I'm too little loved
I've never been close 
To being a husband, a father, or most
Of all of the things that most men achieve
But I won't wear my heart on my sleeve
Am I good enough?
Cuz I'm too little loved

Too many times I have thought
A woman I've met is the one
Only to find out she's not
After it's over and done
They never last
They all ended so fast
Whatever it is women want
It's something that I don't possess
The more that my interest grows in them
The more that theirs grows less and less

CHORUS
I'm too little loved
I've never been close 
To being a husband, a father, or most
Of all of the things that most men achieve
But I won't wear my heart on my sleeve
Am I good enough?
Cuz I'm too little loved

BRIDGE
There's not someone for everyone
I'm living proof
But that doesn't mean we give up on life
And stop looking for the truth

CHORUS
I'm too little loved
I've never been close 
To being a husband, a father, or most
Of all of the things that most men achieve
But I won't wear my heart on my sleeve
Am I good enough?
Cuz I'm too little loved

Am I good enough?
Cuz I'm too little loved

I’m Not Going Anywhere

Our first time spent together was a short walk late one night
You stopped by on your way home and we walked under moonlight
I gently kissed your forehead and I knew right then and there
I love you, and I'm not going anywhere

We started to see more and more of each other, I'd persist
I tried to be a gentleman, but your body I can't resist
Your gold-green eyes still take my breath; I still love your curly hair
I love you, and I'm not going anywhere

CHORUS
You could break my heart a hundred times, and I'd come back for one more
You could kick me out your house and slam my face in your front door
But if you ever need a thing just call and I'll be there
Cuz I love you, and I'm not going anywhere

We fell in love so quickly; almost too hard to believe
We loved to be together and we'd never want to leave
I've never felt such love before; our souls were both laid bare
I love you, and I'm not going anywhere

We had some times together that were great and that were fun
But you got over loving me and now we two are done
But I'm not over loving you; life's not always fair
I love you, and I'm not going anywhere

CHORUS
You could break my heart a hundred times, and I'd come back for one more
You could kick me out your house and slam my face in your front door
But if you ever need a thing just call and I'll be there
Cuz I love you, and I'm not going anywhere

I love you, and I'm not going anywhere


I Can’t Get You Off My Mind

Everywhere I go I see your face
It makes me smile and long for your warm embrace
But it's never really your face that I see
Just a tear reflecting from your memory

CHORUS
I can't get you off my mind
Though you've left me far behind
Now I sit here and I whine
While you yourself are doing fine
In the middle of my cryin'
I'm still looking for a sign
Anything that I can find
To help me get you off my mind

I'll never love another like I do
Despite my broken heart, there's still no one but you
Though I know that I could never win you back
My memories of you keep my love intact

CHORUS
I can't get you off my mind
Though you've left me far behind
Now I sit here and I whine
While you yourself are doing fine
In the middle of my cryin'
I'm still looking for a sign
Anything that I can find
To help me get you off my mind

I watch a ton of movies and TV
To get you off my mind, but nothing helps, you see
Cuz something always makes me think of you
What's a man like me supposed to do

CHORUS
I can't get you off my mind
Though you've left me far behind
Now I sit here and I whine
While you yourself are doing fine
In the middle of my cryin'
I'm still looking for a sign
Anything that I can find
To help me get you off my mind
No, there's nothing I can find
I can't get you off my mind
