It's a dangerous world we live in
Crime is everywhere
There's always some sad story going down
You can read it in the paper
You can see it on the air
It's an evil epidemic going round
But nobody seems to notice
The saddest crime of all
Oh just how many times a day
Someone takes their love away
And the national statistics
Never put it in the chart
But every second someone breaks a heart
There's a woman out there somewhere
Who feels she lost her life
But her man just shot her world down
And it hurts
There's a guy who just got taken
And it cuts him like a knife
Some girl stole his heart and left him
Without a world
They don't call it a crime of passion
But it kills you just the same
It's murder when a true love dies
Right before your very eyes
And as soon as one is over
Another one will start
Every second someone breaks
Every second someone breaks a heart
If you've got someone who loves you
Be careful all the time
Do you know where your love is tonight
Cause there's always someone trying
To find the perfect crime
And you never know just when
They'll strike
So you better watch your woman
And you better watch your man
Cause no one's safe when love's at stake
Anybody's heart can break
And the next time that it happens
You're not the losing part
Every second someone breaks a heart
Every second someone breaks a heart
Every second someone breaks a heart

Chorus:
Pins and needles
Needles and pins
One by one I feel them at my heart again
I think I'm getting over you and then
Pins and needles
Needles and pins
I don't know why
I get uneasy
Every time I hear your name
I feel a sting from every memory
That we made
Repeat Chorus
That tiny ache
Can always find me
Anytime that you are near
Those little things
Can still remind me
That you don't care
Repeat Chorus
(Pins and needles
Pins and needles
Pins and needles
Needles and pins)

If all our love is through
If you found someone new
Then I want to hear it from you
If there is no mistake
And if my heart must break
I want to hear it from you
Just the thought of losing you
Is more than I can stand
But this hurt would be much worse
If I heard it secondhand
If there's no hope at all
If my world must fall
I want to hear it from you
So tell me now
If things are not the way they used to be
I want to hear it from your lips
You owe that much to me
If all our love is through
If you found someone new
Then I want to hear it from you

Christmas toys all over the place
Little Shelby wears a funny smile on his face
Shelby has a secret
And the secret he must share
He wants to tell somebody
So he tells his teddy bear
Chorus:
I saw Mama kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the misteltoe last night
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peek(it says peep but go with peek)
She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep
Then, I saw Mama tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mama kissing Santa Claus last night
Repeat Chorus

Chorus:
I'm rolling I'm tumbling, I'm falling apart
Cause I'll never, no I'll never find love
In his runaway heart
He's a fast rushing river I can't get across
Like an ocean of sadness, o'er which I am tossed
He never slows down, he's always ready to fly
And when I get next to you it's just hello
Hello and goodbye
Repeat Chorus
No rope can hold down
He's not fit to be tied
Like the wildest of horses
Nobody can ride
Freedom's his distance
And the means to his end
So I'm giving up trying
Cause I'm just chasing, chasing the wind
Repeat Chorus
In his runaway heart

-Verse 1
Well back in 1876 an old boy named Bell
Invented a contraption that we know so well
By the 1950's, they're in everybody's home
It's a crazy little thing they call the telephone
Now there's one on every corner
In the back of every bar
You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane, or in your car
-Chorus
So tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you (why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
I said now darling, honey
What is your excuse?
Why haven't I heard from you?
-Verse 2
Well there's no problem getting to me, baby
You can dial direct
I got call forward and call waiting
You can even call collect
The service man, he told me
That my phone was working fine
And I've come to the conclusion the trouble isn't with my line
I'm sure the operator would be glad to put you through
So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you
-Chorus
So tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you (why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
I said now darling, honey
What is your excuse?
Why haven't I heard from you?
-Bridge
There better been a flood, a landslide of mud
A fire that burns up the wires
And thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud
A natural disaster I know nothin' about
-Chorus
So tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you (why haven't I heard from you?)
Tell me why (why)
Haven't I (haven't I)
Heard from you? (why haven't I heard from you?)
I said now darling, honey
What is your excuse?
Why haven't I heard from you?
(Repeat)

The sign says, "families welcome"
At the Oaks Retirement Home
But mostly, no one comes 'cept on the weekends
Ruby Wilson lives in 303
Where she spends most her time
But it`s almost noon on Sunday
And she's been sitting in the lobby since nine
Chorus:
She's all dressed up in her best hat and gloves
She's all dressed up
Watching and waiting, but nobody comes
Some days sure are lonely days
And time can move so slow
When you're all dressed up
With nowhere to go
As Ruby watches all the others
Leaving with their families
The nurse tells her, it`s time to come to dinner
She says she`s expecting company
They're just running late
But, the nurse knows the truth too well
She just sighs and walks away
Repeat Chorus
. . .

We ordered up one more bottle of wine
You told your story and I thought about mine
You said when you lost her, you lost everything
It all started having a familiar ring
I asked you to take me someplace quiet
We wound up at the river for the rest of the night
Somewhere around the break of day
I could hear it coming from a mile away
Don't say that word, not the one we both heard too much
You may think you do, but you don't
It's just the fear of being alone
Reckless hearts can clear a path wider than a hurricane's aftermath
We've both traveled down that road
Well in the name of love, anything goes
So don't say that word, not the one we both heard too much
You may think you do, but you don't
It's just the fear of being alone
Like a child in the night
With no one to hold you and tell you everything's gonna be alright
I must admit it's been fun, but that's no reason to jump the gun
If this is real, time will tell
So let me bite my tongue and remind myself
Don't say that word, the one we both heard too much
You may think you do, but you don't
It's just the fear of being alone
. . .

I know you're tired of being all I ever wanted
You no longer feel the love I have for you
What happens now, what will I do with all the memories
And the dreams of all the things we'll never do
But I won't mention it again
I won't think about tomorrow
Just let it happen
Live each hour day by day
But let me tell you before you go, how much I love you
Then I won't mention it again
I won't mention it again
I feel my life
Has reached an early sign of autumn
In my heart the leaves are falling, love is cold
And everything that once was warm and new is gone now
Leaving nothing but this hunger in my soul
. . .

Riding up in Oklahoma
People call us blind
'Cause we believe in God and love
And old fashioned things
We still draw the line between wrong and right
And when a woman takes a husband it's for life
We met on a road from Tulsa
Travelers in the night
Well I knew we belong together
It just felt so right
There's something about this gal you ought to know
She's gonna love you
Till it snows in Mexico
Chorus:
I'm gonna love you
Till it snows in Mexico
Or till the Rio Grande freezes over
Cause darling when God made our love
He threw away the mold
And I'm gonna love you
Till it snows in Mexico
If you should ever leave me
Heaven forbid
But you don't have to worry none
About me ?
You know exactly where I'll go
I'll be waiting for the snow in Mexico
Repeat Chorus
Cause darling when He made our love
He threw away the mold
I'm gonna love you
Till it snows in Mexico
