"I don't know why you don't go back to college and get your degree," he said
"You could be anything you want to be if you'd only believe that you're
Worthy, beautiful, you don't need their approval,
And I'll be the rock that you can lean on..."
"I've watched you work the room - people hanging on every word,
You build it, then kill it, leaving a mystery everybody needs,
You're broken, beautiful, you fascinate them all,
And they'll be the wind that you will lean on..."
"And why are you everybody's girl?
Why (do) you throw your arms around the world?
When I am all you need to see you through,
I don't believe it, no, I don't believe it, no, I don't know, know about you..."
"I don't know why you don't give up the wild life and come be with me, you know,
'Cause I feel you, and I'm real, you've gotta believe that I never would leave
you, 'cause
I'm strong, dependable, and I could give you the world,
Why can't I be the one you lean on?"
"And why are you everybody's girl?
Why (do) you throw your arms around the world?
When I am all you need to see you through,
I don't believe it, no I don't believe it, no, I don't know, know about you..."
Because I always fell short, because they always wanted more
Because he left and shut the door before you came along
I couldn't feel anybody's love, so everybody's love was not enough
But I know one day, it's going to fill me up
And that's why I am everybody's girl
That's why I throw my arms around the world
'Cause I cannot believe it could be true
I don't believe it, no I don't believe it, no, I don't know, know about
Why I am everybody's girl
That's why I throw my arms around the world
'Cause I cannot believe it could be true

I never noticed all the used black cars out on the road
I never noticed all the love songs that are on the radio
Until you left me
Now it's all too clear
I never noticed all the houses that look just like where you live
I never noticed all the places that remind me where we've been
Until you left me
Now I see too clearly
That there's nobody in this world who makes me feel the way you do
And there's nobody in my life who could come close to being you
And there's nobody else who gets me
Nobody like you
And there's nobody who inspires me to be better than I am
And there's nobody who ignites me with the touch of their hands
And there's nobody else who loves me
Nobody like you
I took for granted all the little things you did to let me know
How much you loved me - I bankrupted your soul
Until you left me
Won't you please forgive me
How can I make it up? How can I convince you?
I would do anything in this world for you
Until you left me
I had no clue that it was you
That there's nobody in this world who makes me feel the way you do
And there's nobody in my life who could come close to being you
And there's nobody else who gets me
Nobody like you
And there's nobody who inspires me to be better than I am
And there's nobody who invites me to give a damn
And there's nobody else who loves me
Nobody like you
And I have had a lot of growing up to do
And I have got a lot of making up to you
For I can do so much better
For someone as special as you
And I like the way sometimes we talk just like we're babies
And I like the way sometimes your no means maybe, well
Maybe, Baby?

I've centered my whole life around your every need
And I got the groceries and I kept the house real clean
And I never once complained
'Cause I love you
And I waited here at home while you went out with all your friends
Yeah, I got into your groove, Babe, although I never quite fit in
I was a little offbeat
And not on cue
Do you even see me standing here before you?
Do you even hear me or do I bore you?
Hey, I really feel kind of stupid just trying to be everything to you
But it does no good, I could never be that cool, yeah
Have I ever told you how I paint you in my mind?
But when I put the brush to canvas I find you hard to recognize
'Cause you're looking straight at me,
Right in my eyes
And suddenly I feel me reaching trying to find the real you
And you smile and pacify me and happily I play the fool
Is there something I can get you?
It's what I do
Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Are you empty?
Is it getting cold in here or is it just me?
Hey, I really feel kind of stupid just trying to be everything to you
But it does no good, I could never be that cool, yeah
And I am only now accepting I am human, I cannot be Superwoman
Oh, it's so easy to love you, but it's hard to be that cool, yeah?
I'm not Superwoman - don't know how to fly
I'm not Superwoman - I gave it my best try
I'm not Superwoman - someday I'm gonna die
What a life?
Hey, I really feel kind of stupid just trying to be everything to you
But it does no good, I could never be that cool, yeah
And I am only now accepting I am human, I cannot be Superwoman

A certain way you dance around
And crack a smile and break me down
After the third act when you come home
You turn it off and turn me on
When you think no one's watching
When you're taken by the moment
When you forget what you're thinking and you say what you really feel
When you're in-between poses
And when your laughter takes over
That's when you're floating with the angels, that's when you're floating with
the angels
For such a softie, you try so hard
You get so angry that you're not a star
But if you could show them what you show me
In your pajamas acting like you're three
When you think no one's watching
When you're taken by the moment
When you forget what you're thinking and you say what you really feel
When you're in-between poses
And when your laughter takes over
That's when you're floating with the angels, that's when you're floating with
the angels
And when you laugh a little too loud
And spill your coffee all over
And when you're singing in the shower
I see your cup runneth over
And chocolate sundaes make you smile
And Monday morning, stay awhile you're beautiful
When you think no one's watching
When you're taken by the moment
When you forget what you're thinking and you say what you really feel
When you're in-between poses
And when your laughter takes over
That's when you're floating with the angels, that's when you're floating with
the angels

Here I come, you better watch out
I'm falling like the rain
On the run from all of the clouds
They're chasing me away
I wish I could stay
But I am just not built that way, yeah
I'm water in your hands now
I'm slipping
I'm caught up in the moment, soon I will be going
You can't keep water in your hands
Don't be sad, Baby, don't cry
This is just the way that life goes
Just like that, hello and goodbye
What we catch we really can't hold
I wish you could see
I'm like the rain, I'm falling free, yeah
I'm water in your hands now
I'm slipping
I'm caught up in the moment, soon I will be going
You can't keep water in your hands
And before I slip away
I'll leave you with a trace of?
Water in your hands
I'm slipping
I'm caught up in the moment, soon I will be going
You can't keep water in your hands
Water in your hands
I'm slipping, slipping
I'm caught up in the moment, soon I will be going

I never stopped and looked, I never paid attention to you
I didn't think that you were worth my time
A passing glance my way caught me on a day like today
And all your brilliant colors light up my eyes
I'm falling in
I'm spinning now
I'm trapped in you
And I don't want out
You drew me into your web of roses
You tangled me up in violets of blue
And you pulled me into your pocket full of poses
I'm captured by you, I am captured by you
You love me, you love me not
I pick a thousand petals and pray that I'll stay in your heart
'Cause you're beautiful as if by design
I am yours, are you mine?
I'm falling in
I'm spinning now
I'm trapped in you
And I don't want out
You drew me into your web of roses
You tangled me up in violets of blue
And you pulled me into your pocket full of poses
I'm captured by you, I am captured by you
And what is it now that you want from me?
You already have everything I tried so hard to keep
And I'm letting go, I'm trusting you, trust in me
I'm falling in
I'm spinning now
I'm trapped in you
And I don't want out
You drew me into your web of roses
You tangled me up in violets of blue
And you pulled me into your pocket full of poses

I have heard it said so many times, "Love is blind"
So why are you staring?
You say that love is all we need, well
Does that apply to me?
'Cause I have found someone
That I think is beautiful
And I have fallen in love
And I'm telling you
She
Means everything to me
She
Makes me feel nothing else matters
Not even what the world thinks of me
They told me when I was a little girl, "Love's a pearl -
You're lucky if you find it,
So share that precious beauty with the world,"
Now suddenly they say I've got to hide it
But I have found true love
And there is nothing you can do
Just try and stop me, just try and stop us
Good luck to you, 'cause
She
Means everything to me
She
Makes me feel nothing else matters
Not even what the world thinks of me
(She...she...she...)
It's simple as can be
I love her, she loves me
This is what everybody dreams of
There's nothing to be afraid of, there's nothing to be afraid of, after all it's
only love
'cause
She
Means everything to me
She
Makes me feel nothing else matters

Pockets full of money that I saved and never spent
A shoebox full of letters that I wrote and never sent
Words of love and promises I thought but never said
Hoping that I wouldn't fall behind

Nights I wasted dreaming things that I forgot when I awoke
Journeys I had plotted out, but I never found the road
Running into strangers, never looking in their eyes
All the magic that we might have shared if not for my disguise
And still, I'm grateful to be alive, and waiting for the moment to arrive
Seize the moment when it comes
Seize the moment - it may be the only one
Seize the moment - don't you let it pass you by
You've gotta seize the moments of your life

I tried to say I love you but I was paralyzed
I wanted to find happiness but I lost it in your eyes
I waited far too many years before I realized
I have wasted all the best years of my life
Just waiting for the moment to arrive
Seize the moment when it comes
Seize the moment - it may be the only one
Seize the moment - don't you let it pass you by
You've gotta seize the moments of your life

Oh, what am I waiting for?
There is really nothing more than this precious moment
And all this love I have inside
Now it's time to let it shine, so let it shine, let it shine
Seize the moment when it comes
Seize the moment - it may be the only one
Seize the moment - don't you let it pass you by
You've gotta seize the moments of your life

I don't wanna hear about your problems
And how the world has gone to hell
When bill collectors come calling
I just pretend I'm someone else
I don't wanna clean my room today
I don't wanna turn on my tv
I just wanna have it all my way
It's not easy being me
They told me if I'm late again
Don't bother even coming in
It looks like the drinks are on me
I just wanna be happy, I don't wanna be sad
I just wanna be happy, is it too much to ask?
Just want the sun to keep shining every day of my life
I just wanna be happy
I don't wanna sit here in this traffic
While everybody flips me off
Hey, I was just honking for Jesus
Now, c'mon, People, just lighten up
'Cause we don't need all of these problems
We might as well enjoy this trip
Turn up the music, put the top down
'Cause life is what we make of it
You can cry or shout it out
I just wanna laugh about it
C'mon everybody, follow me
I just wanna be happy, I don't wanna be sad
I just wanna be happy, is it too much to ask?
Just want the sun to keep shining every day of my life
I just wanna be happy?.
Rain, rain, go away
Never come another day
The sun is shining all around me
'Cause I just wanna be
I just wanna be happy, I don't wanna be sad
I just wanna be happy, is it too much to ask?
Just want the sun to keep shining every day of my life

Broke-down
Stuck here in the same old place that we've been
For so many years, Baby, please don't hold me back
I'm ready to go
Burnt-out
Void of any power, I realize now I gave it up so freely
And left myself in your
Complete control
How can I blame you for wanting us to stay the same?
Why would you change us when everything goes your way?
It's up to me now
Baby, I'm ready to go away, so far away
I have got to find myself again
Don't hold me back
I'm finally ready to go
Hold tight
Baby, don't persuade me to stay, I just might
For fear of how your voice cuts me and how your hands choke me
Please let me go
Free fall
Closer to the ground than I thought
What a rush, amazing what a woman can do
When she is ready to face the unknown
And I dream of happiness that no one can ever take away
From deep within me to the edges of all time and space
Maybe it's out there
Baby, I'm ready to go away, so far away
I have got to find myself again
Don't hold me back
I'm finally ready to go
Baby, I'm ready to go away, so far away
I have got to find myself again
Don't hold me back

Well, I saw you and I caught you
And I reeled you into dry land
And I cared for you and I cradled you
And I nurtured you with my bare hands
You were the one who got away
Well, you spun around and you spiraled down
And I faltered in trying to catch you
And I bruised you, I had to throw you back
To the water to try and forget you
And the tide rushed in and took you away
What could I do? What could I say?
Doesn't even matter now anyway
You were the one who got away
And I know I let you go
But you will always be the one?
Well, I had you and I held you
And I lost my chance, I failed you
And I can't go back, no, I can't jump in
I have no courage left to swim
You were the one
You were the one who got away
You were the one, the one who got away
You were the one, the one who got away
You were the one, the one who got away
got away, got away

Well, here we are
Our final meeting
If you told me it would end like this
I wouldn't have believed
I'd be standing here above you
Crying tears upon your face
Imagining your eyes would open
If only I'd say the right thing
If I could say the right thing
And it looks just like you are sleeping
So peacefully at rest after the longest, hardest day
And you look so sweet, as if you're dreaming
I only wish you could awake before the angels carried you away
So it's time to let you go
Fly away now and be free
And in your never-ending slumber
Will you please save a dream for me
And I will gently place this flower
In your hand before I leave
They say you cannot take it with you
But this could be the one thing
This love could be the one thing
And it looks just like you are sleeping
So peacefully at rest after the longest, hardest day
And you look so sweet, as if you're dreaming
I only wish you could awake before the angels carried you away
Carried you away
And it looks just like you are sleeping
So peacefully at rest after the longest, hardest day
And you look so sweet, as if you're dreaming
