He said he loves her . . . what can you say to that
He's made up his mind and there ain't nothin' you can do
And so you swallow hard . . . maybe you drive all night
Tryin' to figure out where the whole thing started going wrong
And in the silence something begins to unravel
You never knew him like you'll be knowing him now
Chorus:
Fallin' out of Love and back into your life
Pullin' your heart out from under the knife
Closin' the door on all those dreams you used to know
Fallin' out of love and back on your feet
Turnin' away from that dead end street
Finding out that nothing feels as good as letting go
That's when he calls you up out of the blue one day
And you know he thinks he's talking to the girl you used to be
So when you tell him he's just a memory
Ain't it funny how his voice cracks when you're saying goodbye
And in the silence something begins to unravel
He never knew you like he'll be knowing you now
Repeat chorus
Tag:
Oh and nothing feels as good as letting go
He said he loved her

. . .


So here you are again
Standing at my door
You know I'll understand
Well that's what friends are for

What's he done this time
What did he say
To make you so darn mad
That you're running away
Now you say you want to be like me
Independent and free

Chorus:
But if you only knew
What a single girl goes through
The long working days and the lonely nights
The empty I love you's
Oh if you only knew what it's like to be alone
You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home

My life looks good to you
I'm always in control
No one to answer to
But no one there to hold
You see in my eyes you are the lucky one
With loving arms that you can lean upon
I'd give anything I could to save
What you're throwing away

Cause (Repeat Chorus)

I know it's hard to face that love ain't perfect everyday
But I know a hundred girls who would gladly take your place

So (Repeat Chorus)

You'd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home
If you only knew

. . .


Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head

The stars in the sky
Look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
Till morning is nigh


. . .


Like a rare piece of crystal
Like a fine china cup
I kept your memory all safely locked up
Afraid I could never love somebody new
I was trying to save what I had left of you

Then he broke your memory last night
I felt it shatter inside
I guess he held me a little too right
He broke your memory last night

The moment he touched me with his gentle hands
Your memory crumbled like a house built on sand
He swept all the pieces of your love away
And then gave me his love to put in it's place

Cause he broke your memory last night
I felt it shatter inside
I guess he held me a little too right
He broke your memory last night
He broke your memory last night

. . .


Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin'
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me!

They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away
You're in the same boat with a lotta your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
'n' the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way

Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you
There's a better life, and you dream about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it
And you spend your life puttin' money in his wallet

9 to 5, whoa what a way to make a livin'
'stead-a gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

She came in looking good and looking around
She's checking out every man in the room right now
Now don't go telling her about right or wrong
She's been alone way too long

And the heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lasting comfort
In the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon lights
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of a love in sight

She hears him say- "Hey can I buy you a drink"
Then sees the pale white circle where he wears his ring
She knows that he is dealing her a dangerous hand
The consequences of a one night stand

But the heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lasting comfort
In the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon lights
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of a love in sight

From somewhere deep inside she tells him "no"
Before she starts to cry she turns to go-

Cuz the heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lasting comfort
In the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon lights
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of a love in sight

. . .


I feel the blues coming on
Cause I feel you being gone
It's something I wish I could lose
Baby's gone blues

There ain't no sunshine in sight
Cause you're gonna leave me tonight
My heart is sure feeling bruised
Baby's gone blues

Chorus:
Oh - love has gone wrong
It's so hard on my heart going from good into gone
There ain't no easy way back into nights before you
Baby's gone blues
Baby's gone blues

It's like a razor on me
Knowing you want to be free
I'm standing here feeling used
Baby's gone blues

There ain't no dreams coming true
I won't recover from you
There ain't no heartache like you
Baby's gone blues

Repeat Chorus:

. . .


Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
Folks dressed up like eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Helps to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa Claus is on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
Although it's been said many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you

Oh, and so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
And although it's been said many times many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you

(Whispers) Merry Christmas


. . .


Oh I know it's hard for you to say it's over
Well it's twice as hard for me to let you go
Out there I hope you find a softer shoulder
But before you leave there's something you should know

I was glad to give my everything to you
Yeah we almost made our every dream come true
And though we didn't have the chance to see it through
I was glad to give my everything to you

Oh you say you need a little room for breathing
Somehow I guess you knew I'd understand
And though you're hurting me
I still can't help in believing
I'd be glad if I could do it all again

I was glad to give my everything to you
Yeah we almost made our every dream come true
And though we didn't have the chance to see it through
I was glad to give my everything to you

Oh I was glad to give my everything to you

. . .


If I had to say what love feels like
I'd say you
If I had to say what love tastes like
I'd say you
If I had to show what love looks like
That's an easy thing to do
I'd pick your favorite colors
And honey I'd paint you

If someone asked what heaven is
I'd say you
If I describe what pleasure is
I'd say you
If I had to show what a dream looks like
That's an easy thing to do
I'd pick your favorite colors
And honey I'd paint you

In Webster's book
I'd even add a word or two
Under perfect lover
I'd put see you

If I had to show my biggest thrill
That's an easy thing to do
I'd pick your favorite colors
And honey I'd paint you

I'd say you
I'd say you

If I had to show what love looks like
That's an easy thing to do
I'd pick your favorite colors
And honey I'd paint you
