Lyrics
NEXT LIFE
We got married in a heartbeat
We were young and in love
The world at our feet
But the best laid plans
They can slip like sand
Through your fingers
‘fore you know it
All gone
But now we’re ready for our next life
Yeah, the best life.. (we never had)
We had it coming
Keep the motor running
To the next life
The best life
Woohoo!!
​
Seems so hard to remember
Just the two of us together
‘Cos the kids came fast
And the years flew past
In a moment
‘fore you know it
All gone
And now we’re ready for our next life
Yeah, the best life.. (we never had)
We had it coming
Keep the motor running
To the next life
The best life
Woohoo!!
Time goes by
Blink of an eye
But now we’re ready for our next life
Yeah, the best life (we never had)
We had it coming
Keep the motor running
To the next life
The best life
Woohoo!!

RAINING ON MY WEDDING DAY
If I could paint a picture
The clouds would fill the page
With darkness and doubt
I couldn’t feel the sunshine
Like a bird trapped in a cage
And now there’s no way out
​
You said you’d always love me
Rain, hail, or shine
My heart was screamin’ this ain’t right
I should have changed my mind
All the guests are waiting
And the band’s about to play
But it’s raining on my wedding day
​
The pain of hurting someone else
Seemed way too hard to face
But I hurt even more
I felt like nobody listened
My fears were all misplaced
But I just can’t ignore
You said you’d always love me
Rain, hail, or shine
My heart was screamin’ let me out
I’m running out of time
The families are waiting
As the preacher starts to pray
But it’s raining
On my wedding day
I can’t get off this train
I should have left you at the altar
‘Cause I already see
This was never meant to be
​
You said you’d always love me
Rain, hail, or shine
My heart was screamin’ let me out
I’m running out of time
The families are waiting
As the preacher starts to pray
But it’s raining, it’s still raining
On my wedding day

SHE SAID WHAT?
She said what? She said who?
Aint she got nothing better to do?
Than put her nose in someone else’s business all of the time
I said how would she feel
If the shoe was on her end of the deal?
I can guarantee she aint gonna like it being under the wheel
She’s got a mouth like an airplane hanger
With the doors wide open every day and night
She aint happy less she’s bitchin’ yappin’ in the kitchen
Puttin’ every wrong to right
I got stuff, I got dirt
And when it gets on her it’s gonna hurt
She’s gonna wish she never started
I’ll kick her where the sun don’t shine
She said this, she said that, I bet she even called me fat!
If I’m the pot then she’s the kettle
I’ll teach her not to meddle in mine
She’s just a dirty rotten big mouth, livin in a glass house
Girl, it’s just a matter of time
Before I get to throwin, stones like it’s snowin
She’s finally reached the end of my line
She said what?

MUST HAVE BEEN THE WINE
What were we thinking?
You and me drinking
Both of us working on a broken heart
We shoulda known better
Two of us together
How we gonna finish something we don’t want to start
Must have been the wine, can’t have been that kiss
Couldn’t have been the moonlight in our eyes
Got us feeling like this
Cos this aint the right place, and it’s sure not the time
Yeah, it must have been the wine
Feeling kind of awkward
Seeming like we both should pack up all our things
And walk straight outta this room now
Cos this aint gonna end right
Shoulda called it last night instead of trying to forget about it somehow
Must have been the wine, can’t have been that kiss
Couldn’t have been the moonlight in our eyes
Got us feeling like this
Cos this aint the right place, and it’s sure not the time
Yeah it must have been the wine
Gonna take some nights to drink us off our minds
Coulda, shoulda, woulda been but not this time
Must have been the wine, can’t have been that kiss
Couldn’t have been the moonlight in our eyes
Got us feeling like this
Cos this aint the right place, and it’s sure not the time
Yeah it must have been the wine

ROLL OF A DICE
​
You can count on your luck but not too much
Turn to gold everything you touch
You can fly so high without looking down
’Til you forget what it’s like to be on the ground
But if the voices in your head start you spinning
Whatcha gonna do
Drive that car
Cross that road
You just don’t know
What the future holds
It’s right there out of reach
No use losing sleep
Play the cards you’re holdin’
No turning back, no folding
Don’t think twice
‘Cos it could all just change with the roll of a dice
You can walk through life with your eyes half-shut
Or stay at home ‘cos it’s all too much
Too scared of the world to walk out the door
But if it’s not open, what’s it for?
And when the voices in your head get too loud
You know what to do
Drive that car
Cross that road
You just don’t know
What the future holds
It’s right there out of reach
No use losing sleep
Play the cards you’re holdin’
No turning back, no folding
Don’t think twice
'Cos it could all just change with the roll of a dice
Drive that car
Cross that road
You don’t know
What the future holds
It’s right there out of reach
No use losing sleep
Play the cards you’re holdin’
No turning back, no folding
Don’t think twice
‘Cos it could all just change with the roll of a dice

LONG AS YOU'RE LONELY
As long as you’re lonely baby
As long as you’re feeling blue
I don’t care if I’m here and you’re there
As long as you miss me too
Boy you can cry all night
Ache until the morning light
As long as you’re lonely baby
Cause lonely’s what I want from you
As long as you feel like I do
Heart broke in two
Missing our kisses
And just can’t wait to
Love you crazy
Boy you make me smile
But until then
As long as you’re lonely baby….yeah
As long as your heart’s just breaking
Hating on the distance
Waiting on the next hit of love to come through
As long as you feel like I do
Heart broke in two
Missing our kisses
And just can’t wait to
Love you crazy,
Boy you make me smile
But until then
As long as our world keeps turning
This keeps hurting
Right now we’re not together
But the fire’s still burning bright
As long as you’re lonely baby
As long as you feel like I do……
Heart broke in two….
As long as you feel like I do
Heart broke in two
Missing our kisses
And just can’t wait to
Love you crazy
Boy you make me smile
But until then
As long as our world keeps turning
This keeps hurting
Right now we’re not together
But the fire’s still burning bright
As long as you’re lonely baby…

MY TURN NOW
You rang just yesterday, said am I still ok
To drive you to the mall, love you girl, that’s all
Like it might be too much
Like helping you was such
A waste of my time and if I couldn’t, that’s just fine
But I don’t say I’ll help you ‘less I mean it
It’s not like you could mean any more to me
Cos, it’s my turn now, gonna pay you back somehow
Wanna do right for you, like you done right for me
It’s gonna be my turn now, the circle’s come around
Now I’m the girl you taught me to be
So you don’t have to worry, cos’ it’s my turn now
Time and a coffee cup
Sometimes it means so much
It’s the least that I can do, to make it up to you
Cos I still remember when, I needed you back then
Didn’t have to ask twice, no trouble, day or night
So if you need a helping hand I’ll be it
Not like you can mean, any more to me
Cos, it’s my turn now
Gonna pay you back somehow
Wanna do right for you, like you done right for me
It’s my turn now
The circle’s come around
Now I’m the girl you taught me to be
So you don’t have to worry, cos’ it’s my turn now
To pick you up, to keep you strong and
To let you know that, you’re not alone and
I promised then, I mean it now
I’ll be there for you
Cos, it’s my turn now
Gonna pay you back somehow
Wanna do right for you, like you done right for me
It’s gonna be my turn now, the circle’s come around
Now I’m the girl you taught me to be
So you don’t have to worry
I ain’t in no hurry, cos it’s my turn now
My turn now….It’s gonna be my turn now

MY BAD
He's my bad
He's my good
He's my who I really shouldn't be thinkin’ about
He’s my do….and my don’t
He’s my maybe I will…or maybe I won’t
He's my smile in the dark when I oughta be sleeping
Put my toes in the water now I'm way too deep in...
My bad
Yeah, he's my bad
Mmmmm…my bad
He’s my bad
He’s my wrong
He’s my right
He’s the secret I keep hidden under my sheets at night
Got me done
Got me cooked
I try to wriggle free
But I’m too damn hooked
The way he looks so mmm…when he's standing there
He just ain't playing fair
He's my bad
Ooh mama
He’s my bad
Yeah my bad
He’s my truth
And my dare
He’s the one I wanna mess with and I don’t care where
He’s my yes
Can’t say no
My head says stop but my body says go
He’s a heartbreaker, soul-shaker, messin’ me up
I just can’t get enough
Of my bad
Ooh he’s my bad
Yeah, my bad
My bad

LOST LITTLE GIRL
She’s walking by the river
Trying to find her way back home
Trying to remember
Never feeling so alone
Starlight shines so bright
But she can’t find the light
Anywhere…
Sometimes it’s a heart break
Sometimes it’s a rainy day
Sometimes it’s the waking up
That makes her feel this way
And there’s nothing like regret
To make a girl forget
How to play…
Lost little girl
In her lost little world
Don’t you see?
And time it just passes by
Her heart
Never satisfied
Lost little girl
Maybe you can guide her
Maybe you could take her hand
And if you say it loud enough
Maybe she’ll understand
That it’s all for the best
Forgetting what was left
Along the way…
Lost little girl
In her lost little world
Don’t you see?
And time cannot
Pacify a heart
Never satisfied
Lost little girl
Lost little girl
In her lost little world
Don’t you see?
And time it just passes by
Her heart
Never satisfied
Lost little girl
(Clive Young/Della Harris)
TWO GIRL TOWN
I got me a call and it set me free
From the lyin and the cheatin
You’ve been puttin on me
She opened my eyes to your cold dark heart
Said we’d both been fooled from the get-go start
We were sharing a man yeah that’s what she said
Hell it knocked me right upside my head
It’s a cold hard fact if the truth be known
That you’re gonna get to reap all the seeds you’ve sewn
Cos you ain’t worth my time of day
And it sure feels good to set you on your way
I’ve got my pride I won’t be messed around
Won’t be a one man woman in your two girl town
I got my faults they ain’t nothin on you
Just another fool girl who thought your love was true
Thanks for the memories
Most of them were fun
Now it’s gonna be a blast to watch your world come undone
Cos you ain’t worth my waste of time
It hurt for a minute now I feel just fine
You messed me up and now you’re going down
Won’t be a one man woman in your two girl town
Cos you ain’t worth my time of day
And it sure feels good to set you on your way
I’ve got my pride I won’t be messed around
Won’t be a one man woman in your two girl town
No one man woman in your two girl town

SHE'S STILL HERE
Thinking back about her, I never understood
How she could see the best in me
When no one ever could
She said life it is a journey
And love’s an uphill climb
But if you keep your heart wide open
It’ll all be worth the while
Sittin in her chair the way she used to
And she’s still here, memories everywhere
She’s still here
In every room I hear her words so loud so clear
Calling in the voice I hold so dear
She’s still here
Tending to the flowers she planted long ago
I swear I hear her footsteps walking slowly down the hall
Where the wall still holds the painting of her in her favourite chair
And if I close my eyes it’s like she’s almost there
Sittin in her chair the way she used to
And she’s still here, memories everywhere
She’s still here
In every room I hear her voice so loud so clear
Calling in the voice I hold so dear
She’s still here
She’s still here, memories everywhere
She’s still here, in every room I hear her words so loud so clear
Calling in the voice I hold so dear
And she’s still here memories everywhere
She’s still here
In every room I hear her words so loud so clear
Calling in the voice I hold so dear
She’s still here
