I know that every morning you go thumbing
Through the personal want ads
You grab the latest copy, a cup of coffee
And settle in for a good laugh
I've been trying to catch your eye but I'm so shy
I'm hoping and praying that
Today's edition is gonna catch your attention
'Cause there's a
Chorus:
Single white female
Looking for that special lover
To put it in a nutshell
A one women man who doesn't want no other
Oh, you never can tell
She just might be your dream come true
A single white female
Is looking for a man like you
Yeah, I'm a little nervous I'm not sure if I shoulda put it in writing
It might have been a little reckless, a little desperate
But I think I did the right thing
I couldn't go on living keep it hidden
So I'm telling you everything
It's my confession I hope you get the message
There's a
Repeat chorus
It's my confession I hope you get the message
Repeat chorus
Looking for a man like you

He was glued to the T.V.
When she asked him for the keys
Said, "I'm going to the market
Is there anything you need?"
The first quarter was underway
He never missed a play
She pulled out of the driveway
Took a left at the light
Didn't stop at the market
She just drove right on by
Across the railroad tracks
She never once looked back
Chorus:
She went out for cigarettes
And just kept driving on
He didn't even know it yet
Bur she's gone
As far away as she can get
Passed the point of no regret
She went out for cigarettes
And just kept driving on
Half time is over
The sun is sinking low
It's almost time for supper
But there is nothing on the stove
He looks up from his easy chair
He just noticed she's not there
She made a stop at the bank
Took out some cash
Now she's racing down the highway
On a full tank of gas
As fast as she can go
To where she does not know
Repeat Chorus
She went out for cigarettes

I guess we guess are way through life
How many times do we really know for sure?
I was just hoping for the best
Then I woke up in these lovin' arms of yours
What I felt was unmistakable
When I fell for you
Chorus:
It was real...It was magic
It was calm...It was savage
It was cool as a breeze
It was warm to the touch
It was never enough
It was always too much
It did all the things love does
That's how I knew
It was
Who thought that I could laugh so loud
Then turn around and cry so many tears
I used to have so many doubts
But one by one you made them disappear
What I found was unbelievable
But I believe it's true
Repeat Chorus
You asked what I felt when you walked through the door
Was it fear?
Was it clear?
It was all that and more
Repeat chorus
That's how I knew

Fire and Rain is my favorite song
I say a prayer at 11:11
I could watch old movies all night long
I'm not sure about hell but I know there's a heaven
Sometimes at feel so alone it scares me
I talk in my sleep but there's no one to hear me
Chorus:
Unknown
I don't want to be unknown
The little things that make me who I am
I need to share
I need to know that someone cares
That I drink coffee black
That I sing when I drive
That I sleep with the TV on
More then anything
I don't want to be unknown
I love September when leaves turn gold
I get nervous in crowed places
Someday I want to see San Francisco
I/m bad with names, but remember faces
I need more then a kiss, more then a lover
I'm a world that's waiting to be discovered
Repeat Chorus:
That I write down my dreams
That I love when it rains
I burn candles when I'm alone
More then anything
I don't want to be unknown
More then anything

Going through old dresser drawers
Fumbling through there closets
It's got to be here somewhere
I know it's round here somewhere
Searching from room to room
We couldn't have just lost it
I know it's round here somewhere
It's got to be here somewhere
Maybe we packed it up
With college books and winter clothes
Things we thought were in the way
Out of style or just outgrown
Chorus:
We didn't give it away
We just left it alone
We tried to find it one day
That's when we noticed it gone
I turned the house upside down
Praying I'd stumble across
Some sign thats it's still around
Got to find the love that we lost
Captured in old picture frames
Shinning in those faces
It used to be here somewhere
I know it's still here somewhere
Reflected in our children's eyes
How could we misplace it
I know it was here yesterday
How could it just slip away
it was more then just a box of junk
We stored away to gather dust
This was a dream we thought
We always could reach out and touch
(Repeat Chorus twice)

He's dating a lawyer with a gentle nature
Says she ain't nothing like me
And there's fire and there's water and all I can offer
Is a temperament that he don't need
Well he's making his rounds with the well bred in town
Safe and out of harm
Well he can say what he likes water is nice
But it's fire that keeps you warm
Chorus:
Maybe I'm rough around the edges
And stubborn to a fault
Maybe I'm just a little too hard headed
Stiff backbone and all
Maybe I'm passionate about being passionate
Say what you like boy water is nice
But it's the fire that keeps you warm
Well if you know me you know it's true
And you can quote me if you want to

Little boys and little girls dream of big, big things
They're taught at a tender age just what life should bring
Get a job say I do and settle yourself down
But what about those of us whose lives are still spinnin' around
Chorus:
Tell me what's so great about picket fences
Paintin' them is such a mess
And a big back yard where kids can play
I'd probably never get a moments rest
And setting the table for five at five
Only means more dishes to load
What's so great about picket fences
I guess I'll never know
Here I am in my prime at least they tell me so
And if I go to sleep at night I always go alone
I guess that I could have it all and someone by my side
But I can't take the give and take the price is just too high
Repeat Chorus
Tell me what's so great about picket fences

I wouldn't bet the farm on it yet
But I find myself on this dangerous ledge
Don't know if I'm fallin'
Don't know what to call it
But it's just like a red, red wine
Goin' to my head
It's
Chorus:
Some kind of somethin'
I've never seen nothin'
That made me feel like this
It's too soon to say forever
But we're only sayin' never
Love's a definite maybe when we kiss
And I've been passin' up every what if
For some kind of something like this
You're like the place between sleep and awake
When dreams still feel real and you just wanna stay
There with your eyes closed
There where the heart knows
Anything can happen
It doesn't need a name
It''s just
Repeat chorus
Ooo you're underneath my skin
Ooo that's how love begins
With some kind of somethin' like this
Repeat chorus
Some kind of somethin' like this

Last night, I went out with some old friends
I couldn't help but to think of you again
Someone was wearing your cologne
What a cruel way to remind me that your gone
A couple danced over by the jukebox
Hand in hand, I thought they'd never stop
They played out song again and again
How could anyone be so insensitive
Chorus:
They're laughing at me
I just know it
As if they knew all along I'd blow it
Everywhere I turn, something reminds me of the way things were
I love you, I lost you, I know what a fool I've been
And it seems like the whole world keeps rubbin' it in
Every time I turn on the TV
I comer across one of our favorite movies
A love story that ends in a kiss
How'd the cable company get in on this
I swear I pass your car when I'm on the highway
Since when did everyone drive red Chevrolets
it never really is your car
I think some people are taking this a little too far
Repeat chorus twice

There's an old tear stained, worn King James
Bible on my lap
I can hear mama now say it won't let you down
And it never has
So I turn to the Psalms straight to the one
That I can quote by heart
But the words that used to comfort me are tearing me apart
Chorus:
He leaded me through death's dark valley
And by still waters too
Surely goodness and his mercy
Are gonna pull me through
But tonight I've wrestled wit the devil
Wrestled with the truth
If the lord is my shepherd
And I shall not want
Why do I still want you
All my friends say this will end
You're not the one for me
Cause I'm the kind that loves for life
And your the kind that leaves
So I've been praying and I've been waiting
For some kind of peace
But you haven't phoned and I'm leaning on Old Psalms twenty-three
Repeat chorus
Yeah tonight I've wrestled with the devil
Wrestled with the truth
If the lord is my shepherd
And I shall not want
