I know you might be worried and you might be worried sick But trust me if you met me your impression didn't stick so None of these songs are about you None of these songs are about you Call me Carly Simon or call me Taylor Swift I wish you'd call me Jimi but then that would be a gift so None of these songs are about you None of these songs are about you None of these songs are about you None of these songs are about you None of these songs are about you None of these songs are about you

Nothin' 04:13
Ain't nothin' to do Ain't nothin' to do in this town Ain't nothin' to see Ain't nothin' to see in this city Spending all my money, wasting all my time Dreaming 'bout the day I used to call you mine Ain't nothin' to do in this world without you Ain't nothin' to see Ain't nothin' to here darlin' Ain't tears in my eyes It's been years since I've cried I guess I oughta, I oughta let you go Baby I'm just wasting away It's been so long and I wished you'd stayed Haven't left my bedroom for days You left me in a smoky haze Ain't nothin' to do in this world without you I remember everything Last December you made me sing You made me sing (ooo's) You made me sing (ooo's) You made me sing (ooo's) Ain't nothin' to do Ain't nothin' to see Ain't no one like you Baby I'm just wasting away It's been so long and I wished you'd stayed Haven't left my bedroom for days You left me in a smoky haze Baby I'm just wasting away It's been so long and I wished you'd stayed Haven't left my bedroom for days There ain't nothin' to do Ain't nothin' to do in this world without you

The wall stretches for miles I walk in circles I walk with friends No one knows where we're going No one even knows when Praise flowing as water and nature sings his song Patience is a virtue we'll all know before long If your feet should pain you If your legs do tire He will be behind you Hope to help you transpire Simple words for simple folks, salvation's coming If your feet should pain you He will carry you home I grow weary and I grow tired i beg for it to end The only way to cleanse my soul is to release all of my sins Hope to end the battle and love to heal our wounds Faith can be hard to come by but prayer will sustain If your feet should pain you If your legs do tire He will be behind you Hope to help you transpire Simple words for simple folks, salvation's coming If your feet should pain you He will carry you home Well I've been to Bethlehem and I've seen the place where he was born Bullet holes line the roof tile A place to praise now a place to mourn Anger can overwhelm us and grief can cloud our sight Peace comes at a strange price Let us end the fight If your feet should pain you If your legs do tire He will be behind you Hope to help you transpire He is always in our lives, sing alleluia Alleluia, alleluia Alleluia, alleluia He is always in our lives, sing alleluia Alleluia, alleluia Alleluia, alleluia If your feet should pain you He will carry you home

Let me be the girl of your dreams Day and night I wanna be on your mind Alright You might not have met me but I'm gonna change your life I'll be the poison that seeps in your veins I'll be the curse that drives you insane Your private catastrophe, you'll always remember me as the good girl that felt so bad Let me be the girl of your dreams Day and night I wanna be on your mind Alright You might not have met me but I'm gonna change your life I'll be the serum that soothes your soul I'll get you high when your feeling low The sweetest symphony, you'll always remember me As the bad girl that felt so good (Trombone soli) Hey-o hello Aren't you gonna ask me my name? You might not have met me but I'm gonna change your life I'm gonna change your life I'm gonna change your life I'm gonna change your life

For Now 05:22
You know the words to say to make me smile Twist your fingers in my hair I won't tell anyone what you're doing Just let me stay here while you're sleeping You'll tell me anything to make me think you're the one (who makes me lonely) You'll tell me anything to make me think you're the one (who makes me lonely) Doesn't matter I know our fate You were at the right time and place Use me and I'll use you Don't worry, I want you to Doesn't matter I know our fate You were at the right time and place Use me and I'll use you Don't worry, I want you to I want you For now You already know what to do You already know what to Say it anyway Honestly is not a crime I just wanna pretend you're mine I won't tell anyone what you're doing Just let me stay here while you're sleeping You'll tell me anything to make me think you're the one (who makes me lonely) You'll tell me anything to make me think you're the one (who makes me lonely) Doesn't matter I know our fate You were at the right time and place Use me and I'll use you Don't worry, I want you to Doesn't matter I know our fate You were at the right time and place Use me and I'll use you Don't worry, I want you to I want you I want you I want you I want you For now

No sir I'm not in the wrong location I'll fight my way til I belong I was born without the qualifications that don't mean that I'm not strong Nothing you can say will make me move along I'm not looking for an explanation I can reason, sir, just fine I won't cater to your expectations You never acquiesce to mine If you tell me hurry then I'll take my time So keep your thoughts to yourself So keep your thoughts to yourself So keep your thoughts to yourself So keep your thoughts to yourself You tell me not to worry that don't ease my mind Say what you will bout my reputation That won't make me hold my tongue You can withhold all your recommendations the way you think can't be undone You lecture to your daughters but then not your sons You say the fight is over but it's just begun Keep your words to yourself (keep your words to yourself) Keep your words to yourself (keep your words to yourself) Keep your words to yourself (keep your words to yourself) Keep your words to yourself (keep your words to yourself) You tell me not to worry that don't ease my mind If you're not in a hurry then you'll be left behind I'm not trying to make a fuss but know my heart breaks when you look at us What you see is not reality A dressed up version when you look at me And keep your hands to yourself Keep your hands to yourself Keep your hands to yourself Keep your hands to yourself Keep your hands to yourself Keep your hands to yourself Keep your hands to yourself I'm not trying to make a fuss but know my heart breaks when you look at us What you see is not reality A dressed up version when you look at me And keep your hands to yourself (Keep your hands to yourself) Keep your hands to yourself (Keep your hands to yourself) Keep your hands to yourself (Keep your hands to yourself) Keep your hands to yourself (Keep your hands to yourself) No sir I'm not in the wrong location I'll fight my way til I belong

Baby you might have noticed my bags at the door And maybe you might even know what I'm leaving for I've spent too many years crying out your name Are you gonna listen? I've spent too many nights wastin' all my tears On you Baby I ain't seen this sad look on your face before And maybe you've realized that you're all that I've been living for But being on my own sure beats being alone with you And now that I'm grown I'll be gone, gone, gone, gone (violin solo) You've used me, confused me, abused me Now baby I've turned to stone You can beg me, beseech me, plead to me Baby just leave me alone I've spent too many years crying out your name Are you gonna listen? I've spent too many night wastin' all my tears It took you awhile to notice It'll take you longer to forget

I've got nothing that you haven't seen before There ain't nothing that I haven't felt before I know you don't even care anymore ahh Have you really never seen my tears before? But please, don't stare I can't write a book or write a song I can't figure out where this went wrong I need something stronger, hold my hand This won't last much longer As I wait for you As I wait for you A perfect moment just slips into the dark As I waste my time just trying to play my part And what good is there in playing by the rules? When even the idiots make us look like fools Well, call me a fool 'Cause I can't write a book or write a song I can't figure out where this went wrong I need something stronger, hold my hand This won't last much longer As I wait for you As I wait for you Oooo, oooo Oooo, oooo I can't write a book or write a song I can't figure out where this went wrong I need something stronger, hold my hand This won't last much longer As I wait for you As I wait for you As I wait for you As I wait for you As I wait for you (I leave myself behind) As I wait for you (I push the thoughts back in my mind) As I wait for you

Anytime 01:13
Anytime you're feeling lonely Anytime you're feeling blue Anytime you feel downhearted That will prove your love for me is true Anytime you're thinking bout me That's the time I'll think of you Anytime you say you want me back again That's the time I'll come on home to you Anytime will be the next time Anytime at all will do Anytime you're sure you want me back again That's the time I'll come on home to you
