The Wilkinsons Lyrics Corner #3!
I Wanna be that girl
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 are
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
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

Nobody Ever Died Of A Broken Heart
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
back to top
Feel
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
[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
[2nd 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-na
Not rational, it’s magiacal
How do you know if love is real
You’ve got to feel

I Go Crazy
Hello boy, it’s been a while
Guess you’ll be glad to know
That I’ve learned
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 never see you again
[Chorus]
I go crazy, you know
When I look in your eyes
I still go crazy
No my heart just can’t hide
That old feeling inside
Way deep down inside
Oh baby
You know
When I look in your eyes
I go crazy
You say she satisfies 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
back to top
I Had A Dream
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 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
back to top
Never Hold A Candle
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)
Till 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

Outside Providence
She’s driving outside Providence
She’s on the outside lookin’ 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 clear before this
[Chorus]
‘Cause there 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 circles 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
back to top
Shine Something Down
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
[Chorus]
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

Real Bad Mood
Don’t play me no
Love songs
I ain’t in love today
Don’t play me no
Train songs
I ain’t going away
Don’t play no
Gospel songs
The good Lord
Knows the truth
I’m in a real bad mood
Don’t play me no
Rock ‘n’ roll
I don’t want to 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
[Chorus]
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
Don’t want no
Beans and taters
I ain’t got no appetite
And them cold
Store bought tomatoes
Lord it just makes me
Want to fight
Yeah, I want to chew
On something
And I ain’t just a little up tight
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
back to top
Tough Luck
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
back to top
A Little More Love
They were just
Two lonely people
On this big blue ball
Somehow fate
Brought them together
In the middle of it all
And tonight
There out there dancin'
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 (tonight)
The sun will still
Come up tomorrow
Nothing much will change
But for these two
Lonely people
Life will never
Be the same
It may not make
A lot of difference
In the grand design
