I Don't Know

Wake Up







--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cried

*found on I Will Come To You single*

Oh yeah
You promised not to say a word
You promised you would keep it quiet
But you and I both knew it
It was written all over your face

So I cried - Oh yeah
The day you said goodbye, Oh yeah
So I cried
The day that our love died
The day you said goodbye
Died

We had a love I thought could last
I guess I was thinking 4 leaf clovers.
But you wished we were over
Now I've lost three and I've only got one
So I cried - Oh yeah
The day you said goodbye...Oh yeah
So I cried (You cried)
I cried
The day you said goodbye

(bridge:)
Let's not even bother with talking about it
It doesn't really matter to you
So get on home baby
Get on home

A secret's something that you keep
And a heart is something to hold on to
But you play by your own rules
And one day it will blow up in your face
(oh no no no no)

And you'll cry - Oh yeah
The day he says goodbye
The day that your love dies
You'll cry...Oh
The day he says goodbye
Good bye

(repeat chorus)






--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smile

Well this feeling that you're feeling *bonus tracks on some versions of TTA*
Is something I know you've felt before
When I see you I want to hold you
Till the end of time and a little bit more

And I'm not gonna let it go
You've got to let your feelings show

So smile, give me all your heart and we'll never be apart.
I'll never leave you lonely
If you'll just smile, tell me that you care
And I'll always be there.
I'll never leave you hurting if you just smile.

Well this feeling I've been feeling
Well I can feel it right now from my head to the floor
When I see you I want to love you
Till the end of time and a little bit more

And I'm not gonna let it go
You've got to let your feelings show
So smile, give me all your heart and we'll never be apart.
I'll never leave you alone
If you'll just smile, tell me that you care
And I'll always be there.
I'll never leave you hurt, if you just smile.

I got my joy all broken in two
But if anyone can heal me baby it's you
Won't you come and hold my hand
This world has taken me as far as it can without your

Smile, give me all your heart and we'll never be apart.
I'll never leave you lonely
If you'll just smile, tell me that you care
And I'll always be there.
I'll never leave you hurting if you just smile.
If you'll just smile, if you'll just smile







--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lonely Again

*bonus tracks on some versions of TTA*
You're supposed to give more than you take
You had my heart on your plate
You stopped loving me so fast
There are stories left untold
But you act like they're all old
But then you and I we belong together again and I said

Whoaooh sha nah nah
Whoaooh sha nah nah
Whoaooh
I think I'm feeling lonely again
Whoaooh sha nah nah
Whoaooh sha nah nah
Whoaooh
I think I'm feeling lonely

You're supposed to look into my eyes
Forever and all time
You stopped loving me that way
And I never thought that I
I would ever have to cry out
That you and I we belong together again and I said

Whoaooh sha nah nah
Whoaooh sha nah nah
Whoaooh
I think I'm feeling lonely again
Whoaooh sha nah nah
Whoaooh sha nah nah
Whoaooh
I think I'm feeling lonely

I feel you tossing and turning
I know there are walls we have to climb
I sit here waiting and yearning
Cause I know we can get by

You're supposed to look into my eyes
Forever and all time
You start loving me again
And now I know that I,
I will never have to cry out,
That you and I,
We belong together again

Whoaooh sha nah nah
Whoaooh sha nah nah
Whoaooh
I won't be feeling lonely again

Whoaooh sha nah nah
Whoaooh sha nah nah
Whoaooh
I won't be feelin lonely

Whoaooh sha nah nah
Whoaooh sha nah nah
Whoaooh
I think I'm feeling lonely again

Whoaooh sha nah nah
Whoaooh sha nah nah
Whoaooh
I won't be feelin lonely

Bridges Of Stone

Whoa, whoa, ohhhhh, whoa, oh
You can only push someone so far
You can only break so many hearts
Used to love one another, now its lust for your lover
Baby, I was trying to burn bridges of stone
Yeahhh

Chorus:
You can only wait; you can only wait so long
You can only wait; you can only wait so long
In this game we play, cant tell right from wrong
You can only wait so long


Here come the memories of yesterday
Heres the poetry, of all those things I couldnt even say
You can only wait so long, before the flower petals are all gone
Baby, I was trying to burn bridges of stone
Aint nobody crying for what used to be whole
Yeahhh


Chorus


Ohhh
Why couldnt you hold on to me?
I was right here, layin in our bed
Said, ohh
Walked in on the pain I didnt see
All those things I never should of said


You can only push someone so far
You can only break so many hearts
You can only wait so long, before the flower petals are all gone
Baby, I was trying to burn bridges of stone


Chorus

Whoa, Whoa
Why couldnt you call out for me?
Its not like I was ever far away
Said, ohhh
Tie me to the edge and start to leap
Theres nothing left but a million words to say


We all have memories; and heres to our enemies
(?) in the (?) leave you with no rain
We will find a way somehow
In this running just to know goodbye
Baby, I was trying to burn bridges of stone
You wont find me crying for what used to be whole


Chorus 2X


In this game we play, dont tell right from wrong
Cause you can only wait so long
In this game we play, dont tell right from wrong
Cause you can only wait so long






--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I Don't Know

Well, I cant take this any longer
I can't take this anymore
Im not getting any stronger
I don't know how to feel this anymore

You can tell me what you want
After all that you've done for me
We can make it all undone
Can't you see
That I don't know what you're feeling
You can tell that I'm dreaming
I wish that I would just let this go
Well I'm thinkin'
But I don't know what you're feeling
We just need space for breathing
I wish that I would just let this go
But I'm thinking that I don't know

I've had these thoughts a thousand times before
I'm up against a wall I can't ignore
I wish you didnt feel so good to hold
Cause then it wouldnt be so hard to go


You can tell me what you want
After all that you've done for me
We can make it all undone
Can't you see
That I don't know what you're feeling
You can tell that I'm dreaming
I wish that I would just let this go
Well I'm thinkin'
But I don't know what you're feeling
We just need space for breathing
I wish that I would just let this go
But I'm thinking that I don't know


I wish I could tell you, that everything was gonna be alright
I just wanna love you, so maybe I could let this go


You can tell me what you want
After all that you mean to me
We can make it all undone
Can't you see
That I don't know what you're feeling
You can tell if I'm dreaming
I wish that I would just let this go
Well I'm thinkin'
But I don't know what I'm feeling
We just need space for breathing
I wish that I would just let this go
But I'm thinking that I don't know







--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Never Let Go

Just lay down
And let your worries sleep
Don't think now
The waters dark and deep
'Cause you know
That I'll love you
And never let go
And you know
That I'll love you, forever
I'll love you
And never let go
Yes I'll love you
And never let go

Just cry out
Yeah I've cried those tears before
Well I can feel it now
As your tear drops hit the floor

'Cause you know
That I'll love you
And never let go
And you know
That I'll love you, forever
I'll love you
And never let go
Yes I'll love you
And never let go

Whoa, you don't have to ask me
Do I love you?
As I hold you
It shows how much I do
I'm yours until forever is through

Every time I stand for you
I know I lay my life down for you
I'll never let go







--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We All Know

Wake Up

*not 100% sure of all these lines... please send in your suggestions!*

It doesn't matter,
You've got all that you need,
It doesn't matter,
You've got everything, you see,
It doesn't matter,
You've got anything you please,
But you don't have me.
It doesnt matter,
You've got all that you need,
It doesn't matter,
You've got everything, you see,
It doesn't matter,
You've got anything you please,
But you don't have me.

Why,
Do you close your eyes so tight,
When you're kissing him goodnight,
Maybe you're afraid,
Or just trying to fill the space.

Wake up,
Tell me it's alright,
Wake up,
I just wanna hold you tight,
Wake up,
Tell me its alright,
Don't you ever wonder what you're looking for.
Wake up,
Tell me it's alright,

Don't you ever wonder what you're looking for,
Don't you ever wonder who you're looking for,
'Cause you dont have me..
'Cause you dont have me.

It doesnt matter,
You've got all that you need,
It doesn't matter,
You've got everything, you see,
It doesnt matter,
You've got anything you please,
But you don't have me.

Will it matter when you're all grown,
Will it matter when you're all alone,
Will it matter when you stop and smell the rain,
And you don't have me.

Why,
Do you close your eyes so tight,
When you're kissing him goodnight,
Maybe you're afraid,
Or just trying to fill the space.

Wake up,
Tell me it's alright,
Wake up,
I just wanna hold you tight,
Wake up,
Tell me it's alright,
Don't you ever wonder what you're looking for,
Wake up,
Tell me it's alright,
Wake up,
Cause I just wanna hold you tight,
Wake up,
Wake up,
Dont you ever wonder what you're looking for,
Dont you ever wonder who you're looking for,
'Cause you don't have me,
'Cause you don't have me,
No you don't have me.

Summertime Blues

(Eddie Cochran cover song)

*performed live in the Albertane Tour*

I'm a gonna raise a fuss
I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About a-workin' all summer
just a-trying to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby,
try to get a date
The boss says
"No dice son you gotta work a-late"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the Summertime Blues

Well my Mom and Pappa told me "Son you gotta earn some money
If you wanna use the car to go a riding next Sunday"

Well I didn't got to work told the boss I was sick
"Now you can't use the car cause you didn't work a lick"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the Summertime Blues

It's gonna take two weeks for to have my vacation,
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations.

Well I told my congress man and he said, quote:
"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do,
But there ain't no cure for the Summertime Blues.

Can't Always Get What You Want

(Rolling Stones cover song)

*performed live on the This Time Around Tour*

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime you find
You get what you need


We went down to the demonstration
To get your fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"


You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need


I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him


You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need


You get what you need--yeah, oh baby


I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands


You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need


You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need






--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crosstown Traffic

(Jimi Hendrix cover song)

*performed live on the This Time Around Tour*

You jump in front of my car
When you know all the time
90 miles an hour girl is the speed I drive
You tell me it's all right
You don't mind a little pain
You say you just want me to take you for a drive
You're just like
Crosstown traffic
It's so hard to get through to you
Crosstown traffic
I don't need to run over you
Crosstown traffic
All you do is slow me down
I'm trying to get to the other side of town

I'm not the only soul who's accused of hit and run
Tire tracks all across your back
I can I can see you had your fun
But a
Darlin' can't you see my signals turn from green to red
And with you I can see a traffic jam
Straight up ahead
You're just like
Crosstown traffic
It's so hard to get through to you
Crosstown traffic
I don't need to run over you
Crosstown traffic
All you do is slow me down
And I got better things on the other side of town


Yeah yeah
Crosstown traffic
Look out
Look out baby
Coming through
Crosstown traffic
Yeah look out
Crosstown traffic
Yeah look out
Look out look out crosstown traffic
Yeah look out
What's that in the street?
Crosstown traffic
Yeah look out
Crosstown traffic
Yeah look out

Don't Stop

(Fleetwood Mac cover song)

*performed live on the This Time Around Tour*

If you wake up and don't want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You'll see things in a different way

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone


Why not think about times to come
And not about the things that you've done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do


Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone


All I want is to see you smile
If it takes just a little while
I know you don't believe that it's true
I never meant any harm to you


Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone


Don't you look back
Don't you look back






--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I Want You To Want Me

(Cheap Trick cover song)

*performed live on the This Time Around Tour*

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'll shine up my old brown shoes
Put on a brand new shirt
Get home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'
Feeling all alone without a friend you know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
I'll shine up my old brown shoes
Put on a brand new shirt
Get home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'
Feeling all alone without a friend you know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'


I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
I want you to want me
I want you to want me
I want you to want me
I want you to want me

Johnny B. Goode

(Chuck Berry cover song)

*performed live on the This Time Around Tour*

Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
He never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar like a-ringing a bell

Go go, go Johnny go
Go go, go Johnny go
Go go, go Johnny go
Go go, Johnny B. Goode


He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track
Old engineers would see him sitting in the shade
Strummin' with to the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by would stop and say
Oh my that little country boy could play


Go go, go Johnny go
Go go, go Johnny go
Go go, go Johnny go
Go go, Johnny B. Goode


His mother told him "Someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name'll be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight"


Go go, go Johnny go
Go go, go Johnny go
Go go, go Johnny go
Go go, Johnny B. Goode







--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kate

(Ben Folds Five cover song)

*performed live on the This Time Around Tour*

She plays wipeout on the drums
The squirrels and the birds come
Gather around to sing the guitar
Oh I
Have you got nothing to say?

When all words fail she speaks
Her mix tape's a masterpiece
Walks through the garden
so the roses can see
Oh I
Have you got nothing to say?


And you can see the daisies
in her footsteps
Dandelions, butterflies
I wanna be Kate


Everyday she wars the same thing
I think she smokes pot
She's everything I need
She's everything I'm not
Oh I
Have you got nothing to say?


She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow
And she speaks and she breathes
I wanna be Kate


Down by the Rosemary and Cameron
She hands out the Bhagaved Gita
I see her around every couple days
I wanna meet her so that
I can say..
Hey Kate


Ooh la la la
Ooh la la la
Ooh la la la la
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo


She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow
You can see
I wanna wanna wanna wanna be Kate, Kate
No no, Kate, Kate, Kate
No no no no no no

Magic Carpet Ride

(Steppenwolf cover song)

*performed live on the Albertane & This Time Around Tour*

I like to dream
Yes yes right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sight I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

You don't know what we could find
Why don't you come with me little girl on a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we could see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me, fantasy will set you free


Close your eyes girl, look inside girl, let the sound take you away
Last night I held Aladdin's lamp, so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me well someone took, took the lamp away
I looked around a lousy can was all I found


You don't know what we could find
Why don't you come with me little girl on a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we could see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me, fantasy will set you free

Close your eyes girl, look inside girl, let the sound take you away

You don't know what we could find
Why don't you come with me little girl on a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we could see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me, fantasy will set you free
You don't know what we could find
Why don't you come with me little girl on a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we could see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me, fantasy will set you free
You don't know what, you don't know what, you don't know what

Piece Of My Heart

(Janis Joplin cover song)

*performed live on the This Time Around Tour*

Hey, come on, come on, come on, come on!
Didn't I make you feel, oh honey, like you were the only man I ever wanted, that I ever needed?
Oh ho, honey, didn't I give you nearly everything that I ever had to give?
Oh, you know I did
But each time I tell myself that I, I think I've had enough
Well, I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough


I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah
Have a, have another little piece of my heart now, daddy daddy daddy
You know you got it if it makes you feel good
Yes indeed, whoaa


You're out on the streets, you're looking good
Honey, deep down inside I know you know it ain't never been right
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never hear me cry at night, oh!
Each time I tell myself that I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again


Say come on, come on, yeah, come on, come on and take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break another little piece of my heart, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Have another little piece of my heart, baby, baby, baby
You know you got it, if it makes you feel good
I want you to feel good now, yeah


Say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break another little piece of my heart, darling, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Have a, have another little piece of my heart, baby, baby, baby
You know you got it.. alright


Say! Whoaa, have another little piece of my heart now, daddy
Break it, break it, break it, I want you to want it, take out the inside of me,
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, baby, baby.
You know you got it, if it makes you
I want you to feel good, Lord, alright

Sunshine Of Your Love

(Creme cover song)

*performed live on the This Time Around Tour*

It's gettin' near dawn
When lights close their tired eyes
I'll soon be with you my love
To give you my dawn surprise
I'll be with you darling soon
I'll be with you when the stars start falling

I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love


I'm with you my love
The light's shinin' through on you
Yes, I'm with you my love
It's the morning and just we two
I'll stay with you darling now
I'll stay with you till my seeds are all dried up


I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love


I'm with you my love
The light's shinin' through on you
Yes, I'm with you my love
It's the morning and just we two
I'll stay with you darling now
I'll stay with you till my seeds are all dried up


I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love

The Weight (Take A Load Off Fanny)

(The Band cover song)

*performed live on the This Time Around Tour*

I pulled into Nazareth
I was feelin' about half past dead
I just need some place
Where I can lay my head
"Hey mister, can you tell me
where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand
And "no" was all he said

Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And put the load on me


I picked up my bag
I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil
Walkin' side by side
I said, "Hey Carmen,
Come on, let's go downtown"
She said "I gotta go,
But my friend can stick around"


Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And put the load right on me


Go down, Moses
There ain't nothin you can't say
It's just Ol' Luke
And Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day
"Well Luke, my friend,
What about Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor
And keep Anna Lee company"


Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And put the load right on me


Crazy Chester followed me
And he caught me having a ball
He said, "I will fix your ride
If you'll take Jack, my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute Chester,
You know I'm a feeble man"
Said, "That's okay boy
Won't you feed him when you can?"


Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And put the load right on me


Fetch a cannon ball
Now take me on down the line
My bag is sinkin' low
And I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny
You know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her
Regards for everyone


Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And put the load right on me

Money (That's What I Want)

(cover song)

*performed live on the The Albertane Tour*

The best things in life are free
So give them to the birds and the bees
I need money (that's what I want)
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want

Your lovin gives me such a thrill
But your lovin can't pay my bills


I need money (that's what I want)
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want


bridge:
Oh money (that's what I want)
Oh lots of money (that's what I want)
Oh money (that's what I want)
That's what I want
That's what I want
A whole lot of money


Money can't buy everything, it's true
But what it can't buy I can't use


I need money (that's what I want)
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want


(repeat first verse)


That's what I want
A whole lot of money
