LIFE GOES ON
(Desmond Child - Andreas Carlsson - LeAnn Rimes)
« © '02 Angel Pie Publishing, BMI / Mike Curb Music, BMI »
You sucked me in and played my mind
Just like a toy you would crank and wind
Baby I would give till you wore it out
You left me lying in a pool of doubt
If you're still thinkin' you're the Daddy Mac
You should've known better but you didn't and I can't go back
Oh life goes on and it's only gonna make me strong
It's a fact once you get on board say goodbye cause you can't go back
Oh it's a fight and I really wanna get it right
Where I'm at is my life before me got this feeling that I can't go back
Wish I knew then what I know now
You held all the cards and sold me out
Baby shame on you if you fool me once
Shame on me if you fool me twice
You've been a pretty hard case to crack
I should've known better but I didn't and I can't go back
Oh life goes on and it's only gonna make me strong...
Na na na na na life goes on na na na na made me strong
Oh yeah got a feeling that I can't go back
Life goes on
(And it's only gonna make me strong)
Life goes on and on and on
Shame on you if you fool me once...
Oh life goes on and it's only gonna make me strong...
Na na na na na life goes...

WOUND UP
(Gary Burr - Gregg Pagani - Leann Rimes)

Little Carrie Ann what a beautiful girl
From the moment she was born she was always perfect
Whole town said why can't you be more like her
Lights go on and she's ready to spin
On stage doing all the things she's told to
Puts on a show in front of the whole damn world
I pray to the heavens to try to save her soul
Cause the sweet little angel is not the girl I know
She gets wound up she gets higher by the minute
Turns the sound up to drown out all the pain
They all think they know her but no one really knows
That she goes a little crazy sometimes
She parks the car at the top of the hill
Only inches from the edge where she's almost falling
Stares at the sky till she's drowning in the rain
Nice dress nice smile what a wonderful child
If they only knew all the lies she's told them
It's to complicated for her to explain
She prays to the heavens to try to save her soul
Cause the sweet little angel is close to letting go
She gets wound up she gets higher...
I pray to the heavens to try to save her soul
Cause that sweet little angel is close to letting go
She gets wound up she gets higher...

SAFEST PLACE
(Desmond Child - Mark Hudson - Victoria Shaw - Eric Bazilian)

Daytime I'm fine everything is back to normal
Last night I thought that I would die
I had nightmares I was so scared thank God that you are by my side
To hold me when I cry
I wanna be strong but I don't want to be alone tonight
I wanna believe that I can save the world and make it right
But I'm only human and you've got a hero's face
Right here in your arms is the safest place the safest place
It feels so real you showed me I can trust you
With emotions I had locked away
It was your touch your words they heal the deepest part of me
That only you can see
I wanna be strong...
As long as I am with you as long as I can feel you
That's all I need to keep me going on and on and on and on
I wanna be strong...

TROUBLE WITH GOODBYE
(Peter Amato - Randy Cantor - Shelly Peiken)
« © '02 Peer Music, BMI / Shelayla Songs, BMI »
It ain't working don't take no genius to see
It's hurting more every day
Goin' thru the motions ain't we and it's to sad for me
Once we were true lovers feeling the heat
Oh but I can't say the word we have to say
Don't ask me why let's just say
(See ya round gotta go sayonara adios arrivederci
Au revoir auf wiedersehen ciao bella never change
Oh mercy mercy don't make me cry)
I got trouble with goodbye
Don't explain it away cause it just ain't my thing
All this articulating just a little heartbreak
Why make it more then it seems
I'd much rather get back to dreamin' my dreams
See cause I've been thinkin' we'll meet again someday
But until we do let's just say
(See ya round gotta go sayonara adios arrivederci...
Wish I could be so free yeah they take it so casually
Oh but baby that's just not me
Oh no I've never been and I will never be
Cause I've got trouble babe oh no I don't wanna go
Don't want to say the words don't wanna say goodbye
(See ya round gotta go sayonara adios arrivederci...

DAMN
(Holly Lamar - Ty Lacy - Dennis Matkosky)

There you go again when you rub up against my skin
I have to catch my breath I begin to sweat
Lips tracin' down my neck and it's scarin' me to death
How'd you learn to draw me to the cliff
Just to push me off just to push me off the edge
Damn I hate the way you know me and damn you kill me when you hold me
Like I'm your world like this won't hurt like a favorite curse hittin' every nerve
Damn I'm fightin' and I'm losin' and damn you you're pullin' and I'm pushin'
I'm wrestlin' with I toss and twist till finally I give in damn
I hate bein' addicted only
You would have predicted that I'd be torn and worn so thin
You can see right through you can see right through my soul
Damn I hate the way you know me...
I get recklessscared confused I feel desperate so for you
And you know it you know it you know it yes you do
Damn I hate the way you know me...

SUDDENLY
(Desmond Child - Andreas Carlsson)
« © '02 Desmundo Music, ASCAP / Deston Songs, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
It's Independence Day I'm free and it's a strange place to be
I'm gonna break these chains unleash the changes in me
I see an endless road I feel the restless wind
I've lost the fear inside cause I've got no choice but to live or die
Suddenly you're in this fight alone
Steppin' out into the great unknown
And the night's the hardest time
When the doubts run through your mind
Cause suddenly you find yourself alone
Suddenly you find yourself
In an empty room with a suitcase on the floor
It'll be daylight soon I'm gonna wage my private war
Who's watchin' over me must be a guardian angel
I just need time to breathe and give my life the best of me
Suddenly you're in this fight alone...
Suddenly you're in this fight steppin' out and then
Suddenly you're in this fight alone...

TIC TOC
(Peter Amato - Gregg Pagani - Christina Rumbley)
« © '02 Chrysalis Songs, BMI / Desmone Music, BMI /
Slice Of Sicialian, BMI / Tom's Kid Music, BMI »
Come inside my walls of ecstasy with me
Close the door and throw away the key
That's the way you can start by moving in nice and slow
Taking your time to move down low
Cause everything you do is everything I need
Lights are low so here we go let's get busy
Tic toc hands on the clock time to make my body rock
Move with me you get me so hot that I can't stop
Tic toc you got the spot here I come ready or not
Move with me you get me so hot that I can't stop
Tic toc tic toc baby tic toc tic toc baby
You opened up my world to paradise so nice
Feels so good to my body liquifies
When you touch me I lose control and start to shake
Your love is so good I ain't gotta fake
Cause everything you do is everything I like
The plot thickens time's tickin' you're my toy tonight
Tic toc the clock keeps on tickin'
Hurry up before it gets too late
Tic toc the clock keeps on tickin'
Hurry up before it gets too late
A little to the left a little to the right
A little bit longer all the way tonight
I close my eyes my body tenses
Boy your touch hits all my senses
Don't stop come on I'm almost there
In the middle of the night reality stops
And I'm suspended in your arms
As I melt from your touch

SIGN OF LIFE
(Gary Burr - Desmond Child - Gregg Pagani)
« © '02 Desmone Music, BMI / Tom's Kid Music, BMI / Desmobile Inc, ASCAP /

What did I just say well I can't remember
The room is spinning and my heart is skipping beats
Cause I finally cut all the ties that were hanging on me
It's a sign of life to be so confused
You jump and it feels like you're falling
You find the hope the strength the heart
And just when you think there's nothing left
Cause when it feels just like you're drowning
That's when you fight for every breath
You find the faith the will the words
To break through the silence and the pain
Cause when it feels just like you're dying
That's a sign of life
Sooner or later you come to the point
Where you have to choose who and what you want to be
And I made a decision not so long ago to be happy
It's a sign of life to be unafraid
You jump and it feels like you're flying
You find the hope the strength the heart...
Break down shattered my reflection is scattered
Like ashes in the wind I'll begin again
You find the hope the strength the heart...

REVIEW MY KISSES
(Desmond Child - Marie Wilson)
« © '02 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI / WB Music, ASCAP »
I'm only happy when I'm with you
I only feel good when I'm talking to you
And I'm a mess when you don't call me
Call me at night where did you go
Where did you go and did you think of me
It's hard to breathe and my heart's sinking
I'm slipping fast as I am reaching for you
It's gonna hurt cause I have been there before can't take much more
Can't take another night without you here beside me
I want to review my kisses on every inch of your body
I want to reveal my secrets that only you should know
I feel all this pain inside me that only your lips can make better
I want to review my kisses so you won't forget that you are mine
Don't wanna care more than you do
Don't want to be the one who's out in the rain
Don't wanna get that call where you sound so cold
So far away so far away like the distant roll of thunder
I want to review my kisses...
It's a cave in the darkness and I'm lost inside you don't go
I want to review my kisses...

NO WAY OUT
(Gary Leach - Austin Deptula - Leann Rimes)
« © '02 Acrynon Publishing, BMI / Angel Publishing, BMI / Mike Curb Music, BMI »
You've got me wrapped up in you somehow you led me in
Into your web of bittersweet of ecstasy and sin
I feel like an angel falling down from grace
I try to run but I keep on falling and every time I turn around
I hear your voice and it keeps on calling I'm bound
There's no way out no way out
You wanted me to want you and I couldn't help myself
You became my addiction and I wanted nothing else
I feel like I'm trapped inside these walls trying to find my way
I try to run but I keep on falling...
(It's like a dream you can't wake up from
It's a hunger that can't be satisfied)
No matter how I try there's no escape
I try to run but I keep on falling...

LOVE IS AN ARMY
(Gyan Evans)
« © '02 Deston Songs, ASCAP »
Fear is an army fighting against me
Fighting a lost cause if I could only change their uniform
They'd be soldiers of love marching on and on
Love is an army waiting for me waiting for this girl
If I could only stretch my arms around you
If I suddenly see there ain't nothin' wrong with me
Hear words fly out the roof of my mouth
They found a flaw in my armor
Heart so still your beating will
Heal the wars I remember remember
Blue is the ocean calling me in calling me near
If I could only learn to breathe down here
I know I would be at home under the sea
Yeah hear words fly out...
Remember remember
I'll bend my sword against the world
I'll push on through in spite of you yeah yaeh yeah
Love is an army waiting for me waiting for this girl

YOU MADE ME FIND MYSELF
(Desmond Child - Ty Lacy - Tina Arena)
« © '02 Desmundo Music, ASCAP / Deston Songs, ASCAP /
April Music, ASCAP / Ty Me A River Music, ASCAP »
Bet you thought my world was over
Bet you thought I'd crash and burn
You thought I'd never pick myself up off the floor
But baby you were wrong just like before
I used to breathe you I used to need you
I used to hang on every word that you say
It used to please you to try to make me someone else
And I thank you from my heart for your help
Cause you made me find myself
I used to think if I surrendered I'd be the perfect one for you
But I swear I can't remember a single day of happiness with you
I used to breathe you...
No I'm not going back in time
And there's a price for being strong
But I can live with who I am
I used to breathe you...
You made me find my dreams you made me find my love
You made me find myself thank you

TWISTED ANGEL
(Gary Leach - LeAnn Rimes)
« © '02 Acrynon Publishing, BMI / Angel Publishing, BMI / Mike Curb Music, BMI »
Ever since I was a little child I was told to do no wrong
The angel in my mama's precious eyes could be a devil with a heart of stone
I couldn't help myself just had to go my way now I've got hell to pay
Yeah I'm a twisted angel flying wild and free
Yeah I'm a twisted angel flying to heaven on a broken wing
Back when I was daddy's little girl
He brought me up on the Rolling Stones
Thrown into the flame thrown into the world
That's when I learned how to rock'n roll
Look's like everything has gone my way
But I've still got hell to raise
Yeah I'm a twisted angel...
My mama taught me right but the devil's up my sleeve
It's made me kind of crazy but it's all right with me
Yeah I'm a twisted angel...
