You say you wanna be in love
But you're just not sure enough
To let your heart get in too deep
You wanna play it smart with me
Not fall too recklessly
Kinda look before you leap
Well I I think I'll pass this time
Cause I
Got something else in mind

Chorus:
When you're ready for the deep end
When you wanna walk the high wire baby
When you're ready to take a chance on finding something real
When you're looking for a gambler
A little bit of adventure in your world
Well I wanna be that girl

I know it's hard to bet
On something you ain't seen yet
When it could be pleasure
It could be pain
But I'm looking for the kind of heart
To risk it all from the very start
Cause nothing ventured, nothing gained
And I've had it with half-hearted tries
This time I'm not gonna compromise

Chorus:
No, nobody
Nobody ever died of a broken heart
No, Nobody
Nobody ever died of a broken heart

Must’ve hit you like a hurricane
Now you’re swimming with a ball and chain
Sweet love gone down the drain
Down, down, down
Girl you’re looking like the walking dead
Need to drag a brush across that head
The crack of noon and you’re still in bed
Straighten up, wake up, put on your make up

Cut his head out of every picture
Burn the letters where he said he missed ya
All those memories, you can kiss ‘em
Bye, bye
When enough is for sure enough
Time to shake it out and shake it up
Get in the middle of a great big love
Wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am
Baby here you go again

Love’s not supposed to make you numb
It’s okay to have a little fun
The more you contemplate
The more you mess with fate
Just give in and let go
One kiss and you’ll know

First Chorus:
Whoa
It’s like stickin’ out your tongue
To catch the raindrops
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoa
It’s when you keep on dancin’
Way after the song stops
Na-na-na-na-na
It’s not rational, it’s magical
How do you know if love is real
You’ve got to feel
Feel, feel, feel

Forget everything you know
Let your emotions take control
Love is in the air
Can’t see it but it’s there
Just reach out and have faith
One touch is all it takes

Second Chorus:
Whoa
It’s like stickin’ out your tongue
To catch the raindrops
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoa
It’s when you keep on dancin’
Way after the song stops
Whoa it's like stayin' up all night
To watch the sunrise
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoa
It's when you laugh so hard
That it brings tears to your eyes
Na-na-na-na
Not rational, it's magical
How do you know if love is real
You've got to feel

Hello boy, it's been awhile
Guess you'll be glad to know
That I've learned how to laugh and smile
Getting over you was slow
They say old lovers can be good friends
But I never thought I'd really see you again
I'd really see you again

Chrous:
I go crazy
You know when I look in your eyes I still go crazy
No my heart just can't hide that old feelin' inside
Way deep down inside
Oh baby, you know when I look in your eyes I go crazy

You say she satifies your mind
Tells you all of her dreams
I know how much that means to you
I realize that I was blind
Just when I thought I was over you
I see your face and it just ain't true
You know it just ain't true

You look at me like it’s judgment day
You’re full of words but there’s nothing you can say
I should have known but I could not tell
It’s all over, it’s just as well

Chorus:

I had a dream you loved me
But I woke up
You wanted everything
But still it wasn’t enough
That alarm clock hit me like a semi-truck
It was a dream you loved me
But I woke up

You're tell me I’m a stick in the mud
You tell yourself you’re the Tennessee stud
It doesn’t really matter who’s to blame
My heart ain’t broke
It’s just a little ashamed

Bridge:

(You say)
Everybody wants to be free
(I say)
No way you want it more than me
(Anyway)
Better off knowing how it’s gonna be
I had dream

Just a dream you loved me
But I woke up

When I was a young thing
I swore a Mustang
Would be my ticket to the great unknown
Yeah I could see me
Hanging out with royalty
La dolce vida cruisin’ Monaco

(But sittin’ here)
Parked in your driveway
(You’re cuddled up)
Right close beside me
(I gotta say)
That this old world just ain’t thrillin’ enough
It could never hold a candle to love

Way back in grade school
I thought Jenny was so cool
We passed each other notes in study hall
She was my first kiss
My heart said this must be it
At 13 you think you know it all

(It’s nothin’ but)
Infatuation
(It didn’t last)
Til graduation
(I gotta say)
Jenny Parker and a school boy crush
Could never hold a candle to love
Bridge:

Love true love knew along
It would find us
It’s such a sweet ride
Just close your eyes and hold on tight

(But sittin’ here)
With you tonight
(Just holdin’ hands)
Under the moonlight
(One kiss and I)
I can’t recall
What I was just thinkin’ of
But it could never hold a candle to love
No, it could never hold a candle to love
It could never hold a candle to love

She's driving outside providence
She's on the outside looking in
She's finally figured out
Just where she's going

Her momma says that she's insane
Her daddy swears a boy's to blame
She's never seen the truth so clearly before this

Chrous:
'Cause there's a world
Outside Providence
Somewhere to spread her wings and fly
She's taking chances, life begins again
Somewhere
Outside Providence

A hula man sits on her dash
Beside a Rand McNally map
She's circled places that she's always heard of
She plans to see the Hoover Dam
And the world's biggest frying pan
Open to anyplace outside Rhode Island

Bridge:
Some things in life don't last
With pieces of the past
Someday she might be back
But not tomorrow

Maybe this is where I should be
But all alone in the middle of life
Doesn’t feel right to me
I need something to excite me
Love and ignite me here in dark
Some answer to the silence
And a little bit of guidance
If it’s only a spark

Chrous:
Shine something down
It doesn’t have to be the sun
Just a little bit of light
To light the way
(And) Turn me around
Lead me to the right someone
Show me what I haven’t done
I’m ready to be found
Shine something down

Maybe this is what I deserve
Maybe all these feelings I’m voicing
Just go unheard
But I don’t believe that
I believe that somewhere out there
There’s another heart beating
And another soul needing
The answer to a prayer

Bridge:
Just one small ray of hope
Straight into my heart
And my soul
Shine something down

Don't play me no love songs
I ain't in love today
Don't play me no train songs
I ain't goin' away
Don't play me no gospel songs
The good lord knows the truth
I'm in a real bad mood

Don't play me no rock and roll
I don't wanna dance
Don't play me no hillbilly
I'm too blue for grass
That cheesy easy listenin' stuff
Is for elevator fools
I'm in a real bad mood

Chours:
I'm in a funk, sunk
In a pool of pitiful
I got the mange
I'm a chain (son)
You don't wanna pull
You don’t wanna cross this old yard dog
If you know what’s good for you
I’m in a real bad mood

I don't want no beans and taters
I ain't got no appetite
And them cold store bought tomatoes
Lord it just makes me wanna fight
Yeah, I wanna chew on something
And I ain't just a little uptight
I'm in a real bad mood

Tag:
Yeah I want to chew on something
Honey anybody’s ass will do
I’m in a real bad mood
Oh, yes I am
Don’t mess with me
Don’t make me open up a can

She never planned on the life she got
Married young and then she just got caught
Years fly by when you’re raising kids
She’s just a carbon copy of what her momma did

She was a perfect picture of a perfect wife
Out of focus in her perfect life
So safe, so warm, no hint of danger
Wasting years with the perfect stranger

Chorus:
But tough luck’s
The only luck she’s known
And tough luck
To build your life on hope
(Oh) But she bought the deal
She made the vow
She’d walk away
But she’s just too proud
To ever throw in the towel
Tough luck

Convinced herself that life made perfect sense
Two-car garage and a white picket fence
Sometimes she feels like such a hypocrite
She’s just a face in the portrait
And that’s about it

They were just two lonely people
On this big blue ball
Somehow fate brought them together
In the middle of it all
And tonight they're out there dancing
Spinning 'round and 'round

Chorus:
(And/But) there's a
Little more love in the world tonight
A little more light in the stars
A little more grace in this vast universe
Starting with this boy and girl
There's a little more love
In the world tonight
