No Good, Two Timin', Lies comin' outta your mouth.
Cheatin', mistreatin' games that you play brought you down.
Broke my heart, tore it apart, look who's got the last laugh now.
Don't you come crawlin' begging please on your knees, baby if you're missin' me.

(Chorus)
Well, you can hear me on the radio!
You wanna turn me on, turn on your stereo.
You can sing along, while they're playin' our song. How you done me wrong...
Baby crank it up!
Until you blow the speakers out your Chevy truck.
So listen Romeo, when you're feelin' kinda lonely, let me tell you where to go.
Turn On The Radio!

Try to call, twitter me, text until your fingers bleed.
Oh! The DJ's the only way you*re ever gonna hear from me.
If you're reminiscing, and you're missin me this much, and you really wanna stay in touch.

(Chorus)
Well, you can hear me on the radio!
You wanna turn me on, turn on your stereo.
You can sing along, while they're playin' my song. How you done me wrong...
Baby crank it up!
Until you blow the speakers out your Chevy truck.
So listen Romeo, when you're feelin' kinda lonely, let me tell you where to go. Oh
Turn On The Radio!
Whoaaoooa!
Turn On The Radio!
Turn On The Radio
Oh!Oh!OhOhOh!Oh!Ohh!

(Chorus)
Oh! You can hear me on the radio!
You wanna turn me on, turn on your stereo.
You can sing along, while they're playin' my song. How you done me wrong...
Baby crank it up!
Until you blow the speakers out your Chevy truck.
So listen Romeo, when you're feelin' kinda lonely, let me tell you where to go.
When you're feelin' kinda lonely.

Turn On The Radio!
Turn On The Radio!
Turn On, Turn On The Radio!
Turn On The Radio!
Turn On The Radio, Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ohhh!
Turn On The Radio!

If I were a boy
even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
and throw on what I wanted and go

Drink beer with the guys
and chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
and I'd never get confronted for it
cause they stick up for me

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
so they'd think that I was sleeping alone

I'd put myself first
and make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she'll be faithful,
waiting for me to come home, to come home.

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake,
think i'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
you thought wrong


But you're just a boy
You don't understand
and you don't understand, ohhhh
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you wish you were a better man
You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you're taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

But you're just a boy

. . .


Better hang on to that matchbook with his number on it
But not for the reason you think
There'll come a day girl that you're gonna want it
To light the past up in flames
He's the lesson you learn
He's the dead end you see when you realize you made a wrong turn
He's that one last look back when you finally get over the hurt
He's the bridge you burn
He's the bridge you burn
No you're not the first one to think they can change him
Well that line of fools is so long
But you'll be the only one you have to blame when
You wake up and he's gone
He's the lesson you learn
He's the dead end you see when you realize you made a wrong turn
He's that one last look back when you finally get over the hurt
He's the bridge you burn, burn down
Then you turn around and say
Man that was a close one
He's the lesson you learn
He's the dead end you see when you realize you made a wrong turn
He's the lesson you learn
He's that one last look back when you get over the hurt
He's the bridge you burn
He's the bridge you burn
Yeah he's the bridge you burn
He's the bridge you burn
Burn it down girl

. . .


I might bite my lip
Look down at my shoes
I might clench my fist
Or just leave the room

Chorus:
But I'm not gonna cry
Not one single drop
Cause once i get started, I
I may never stop

I might even laugh
Right in your face
When you come out and ask
Oh if I'll be okay

Chorus:
But I'm not gonna cry
Not one single drop
Cause once I get started, I
I may never stop

Its gonna take and act of God and all I got
To keep the first tear from fallin' down
But if I don't hold the waters back the dam is gonna crack
And I'll be damned if I'm gonna drown

So I'm not gonna cry
If that's what you thought
Cause once i get started, I
I may never stop

No im not gonna cry
Not one single drop
Cause once i get start, I
I may never stop

So I might bite my lip, Look down at my shoes

. . .


It's all around you now, but you don't know it
It's tugging at your heart, but you don't show it
It's just a matter of time
It's gonna hit you right between the eyes
You'll wake up in the middle of the night
I'll be the only thing on your mind
Won't be able to shake it loose
When love gets a hold of you
Before you have your first cup of coffee
You're gonna pick up the phone and call me
Won't believe what you say and do
When love gets a hold of you
Cause it's gonna be written all over your face
All your friends gonna tell you how much you've changed
Feeling things that you can't deny
Going crazy and you don't know why
You'll wake up in the middle of the night
I'll be the only thing on your mind
Won't be able to shake it loose
When love gets a hold of you
Before you have your first cup of coffee
You're gonna pick up the phone and call me
Won't believe what you say and do
When love gets a hold of you
It gets a hold of you
It's just a matter of time
It's gonna hit you right between the eyes
You're driving home at the end of the day
You'll find yourself coming by my place
Yeah, you always have a good excuse
When love gets a hold of you
Once you're standing inside my door
Won't remember what you came here for
Can't control what you say and do
When love gets a hold of you
Yeah gets a hold of you
Gets a hold of you
Gets a hold of you
Oh it gets a hold of you

I met an old man yesterday next to me on a west bound plane
He said, "I was married 60 years. I swear it feels like she's still here."
Then he took out her picture
Starting at that black and white, the tears filled up in his eyes
I said you were a lucky man, he said I feel like I still am
When he told me her name, I heard myself say

Chorus
I wanna be somebody's Chelsea
Someboy's worl
Somebody's day and night, one and only girl
A part of a love story that never has an end
You know that's what every woman wants to be
Somebody's Chelsea

He made me laugh when he talked about their first date and her father's doubts
He said "Even as her hair turned gray, she still took my breath away and that never changed with time."
That's when I closed my eyes

Repeat Chorus

And when we finally said goodbye I hugged him and said
"I'll never forget how you showed me what it means
To be somebody's Chelsea

Somebody's world
Somebody's day and night, one and only girl
A part of a love story that never has an end
You know that's what every woman wants to be
And I want to be
Somebody's Chelsea

Somebody's Chelsea
Somebody's Chelsea
Somebody's Chelsea

Mhmmm, Mhmmm, Owwww, Yeahhhhhh!

Well I can summon up my courage. Take on the whole world. Turn around and break down just like a little girl. And I come out swingin' when my back's against the wall.

And my Mama always told me better walk before you crawl. I need a man who can love all the women I am.

I'm a mother of lost causes. A sister of the road. I give my heart to a song, but I never sell my soul. I'm good at keeping it together when the edges start to fray.

When I'm sewing up the loose ends of everyday. I need a man who can love all the women I am.

Sometimes I'm hard to handle. Burn hotter than a candle, but I melt in the right hands. Boy you love without condition. It ain't always easy livin' with all the women I am.

I'm a daughter of the red dirt, Okie dust still in my bones. But I can light up New York City with my red hair and rhinestones. I'll still be my Mama's baby when my babies fly away. My moods change like the weather, but my faith it stays the same.

I need a man who can stand all the women I am. I need a man who can love all the women I am.

Sometimes I'm hard to handle. Burn hotter than a candle, but I melt in the right hands. Boy you love without condition. It ain't always easy livin' with all the women I am.

Hey I'm a realist. I'm a dreamer. I'm a silver linin' seeker. I'm a devil or an angel who come running when you need her.

Cause I need a man who can love all the women I am. Ohh I want a man who can love all the women I am. Hey you're a man who can love all the women I am. You're the man I needed all along. You can handle me baby. All the women I am. Yeah you're the man. All the women I am.

She got up and put her makeup on
Made a pot of coffee extra strong
At the kitchen table sucking on a cigarette

Read the paper in a cloud of smoke
While the dirty dinner dishes soaked
Woke up the kids and coaxed them out of bed

Then she burnt the toast just like the day before
The day she got divorced
Story continues below

Left the kids with the girl next door
Parked her car at the county court
Round and round 'bout the child support he'll never pay

Judge said we're gonna have to start
Without the party of the second part
Cause the party of the second part was MIA

He was getting drunk just like the day before
The day she got divorced

Didn't feel any different than it ever had
She wasn't that sorry, wasn't that sad
Couldn't love him any less or hate him anymore
The day she got divorced

Wasn't working, had the whole day off
Bought a bottle then she called her boss
Waited for him at the motel lot til he got there

First he told her that her hair looked nice
Promised he was gonna leave his wife
Had two more lines but she didn't care

Cause it was just like every other day before
The day she got divorced

Didn't feel any different than it ever had
She wasn't that sorry, wasn't that sad
Couldn't love him any less or hate him anymore
The day she got divorced

Kids are yakking with their hungry mouths
Dog scratching laying on the couch
Think she really oughta clean this house, but what the hell

Cause it's just as dirty as the day before

Yeah, she's divorced

. . .


There ain't no excuse that's what my mama said
You gotta get up and get outta bed
Roll up your sleeves put your back into it
If your gonna get it done then you better get to it
No matter what it is you want to do
You got to have a little want to
Inside of you
That goes a long, long way
A little nothing I can't do...Attitude
No matter what folks say
Well big dreams do come true
All you gotta go
Is have a little want to
I remember sittin' on the livin' room floor
My brother tried to show me how to make a G chord
My hands were small, my fingers hurt
That's when he said it'll take a lot of work
But if I can do it girl, so can you
You got to have a little want to
Inside of you
That goes a long, long way
A little nothing I can't do...Attitude
No matter what folks say
Well big dreams do come true
All you gotta go
Is have a little want to
Oh now I make my living out here singing on this stage
When people ask me how I got here I just look at them and say
You got to have a little want to
Inside of you
That goes a long, long way
A little nothing I can't do...Attitude
No matter what folks say
You got to have a little want to
A little nothing I can't do...Attitude
No matter what folks say
Cause big dreams do come true
All you gotta do
Is have a little want to
That's all you gotta do
Is have a little want to
Keep that attitude
And have a little want to...want to..want to

When you have a child
You learn it's a serious business to have a little fun
You give grace and get forgiveness
Not seven times seventy but seven times seventy-one

And when you have a child
Those four walls you call a house
Take on a life of its own when you bring 'em home
You will cry and you will laugh
When they hurt it cuts you in half, it's your flesh and bone

*Chorus*
And year after year
Pictures fill page after page
They never really grow up
Still your baby at any age
And the first time you hold 'em, it's like you see God smile
When you have a child

And then boy meets girl
And perfume and gasoline rain on your perfect world
Curfews are often broken, thank yous aren't spoken
He's got the keys to that old Dodge, and she's wearing a corsage and her mama's pearls

*Repeat Chorus*

You pray that phone call never comes
And if God forbid how would you live
How could you go on and on and on and on
And year after year close the chapter and turn the page
Blue ribbons and losing season, flipping tassels on the stage
Oh but you don't need a photograph
You've got at least a million pictures of that smile
Oh when you close your eyes
When you love a child
Oh when you love a child
