Ain't no reality show gonna waste my time Tell me why I should care about their scripted lives Magazines, limousines, celebrities and Paula Dean My head ain't got the room All I wanna do is wrap my mind around you I space out when I think about what we did last night You looked at me like I was a beautiful sight Can't wait, concentrate, anticipate, what a date Tonight can't come too soon All I wanna do is wrap my mind around you All I wanna do is get lost in this dream All I wanna do is go over that same love scene Of you and me All I wanna do is wrap my mind around you I Can't wait, concentrate, anticipate, what a date Tonight can't come too soon All I wanna do is wrap my mind around you All I wanna do is wrap my mind around you It’s true All I wanna do is wrap my mind around you

When your life is a mess you know that you're blessed When there's someone there who understands When you're falling apart, they pick up your heart It ain't so bad cause they give a damn When you run off track and someone's got your back Those times don't have to feel so rough When you are loved, loved, loved When you are loved, loved, loved The world can be cold a chill to the soul It's hard to find a warm night and a sunny day It can be so unfair till somebody cares That's when you’ll find your lucky break Through the highs and lows and you're not alone Those times don't have to feel so rough When you are loved, loved, loved When you are loved, loved, loved Before I met you baby I was going a little crazy You were the one who saved me, now I know how it feels When you are loved, loved, loved When you are loved, loved, loved When you are loved, loved, loved When you are loved, loved, loved

Whenever I get chills Running up and down my spine I know what it is to be Me, caught up in myself Never hearing anybody else Everybody lives inside their own skin There’s a part of me that I’ve forgiven Living within In my own skin In my own skin We live and die alone Trapped inside the four walls of our souls Somewhere in between dreams and reality Looking for whatever that might be Everybody lives inside their own skin There’s a part of me that I’ve forgiven Living within In my own skin In my own skin All I have learned From all these talks with myself Is it ends with me And starts with everyone else Everybody lives inside their own skin There’s a part of me that I’ve forgiven Living within In my own skin In my own skin

Sex toys Naughty joys Up all night Makin’ noise Date sites Hershey bites Info commercials Drinkin’ Bud Lights Guilty, guilty pleasures Guilty, guilty pleasures Weird porn Sappy songs Going where I don’t belong Smoking dope Watchin’ soaps Gossip that I shouldn’t know Guilty, guilty pleasures Guilty, guilty pleasures I try to live my life like I think I should But sometimes I just don’t want to be that good I need my guilty pleasures Temptation is a bad thing, yeah I know But man sometimes I just gotta let myself go I love my guilty pleasures Social media flirts Tell the guy he’s a jerk Sittin’ round watchin’ Home shopping network Lifetime movies Not wearing panties Take an extra sample Hope nobody else sees Guilty, guilty pleasures Guilty, guilty pleasures Guilty, guilty pleasures Guilty, I love my guilty pleasures

Undone 03:47
Is it me or the world That seems to be unraveling Is it time that naturally is traveling Is it in my head or outside That’s falling apart at the seams Is it real or is it just in all my crazy dreams I come undone I come undone Seems like everything is so complicated Is it the way it is or something I created Nowhere to run I come undone I see a man in the street Holdin’ up a sign “Need work something to eat” Driving by I think someday that could be me In my mind, I can’t draw the line Between giving and self-preservation Between what it really means to lose or to win I come undone Come undone Seems like everything’s so complicated Is it the way it is or something I created I think about it some I come undone Walkin’ a tight rope Over a deep slope Livin’ on the edge On a fast track No way back And I can’t just hit reset And I can’t undo what’s done I come undone Come undone Seems like everything’s so complicated Is it the way it is or something I created Just tryin’ to be someone I come undone I come undone

Here we go, here we go again Up and down on and off again We may be lovers but we ain’t friends There we go, there we go again Must be something we don’t get Intertwined but we don't connect Can't take back the things we said Wish we had what lies in bed Sex is easy love is hard Don't wanna just go through the motions Leave the light on don't need the dark We can open up our hearts Sex is easy love is hard Love is hard Is this just a twisted game With the pleasure and the pain Can’t be making love then makin’ war We keep goin’ back and forth Love the words your body says Day to day we’re bumping heads I wish I knew what to do I wanna work it out with you Sex is easy love is hard Don't wanna just go through the motions Leave the light on don't need the dark We can open up our hearts Sex is easy love is hard Love is hard Sex is easy Love is hard I don’t know what to do Sex is easy love is hard I wanna work it out with you Sex is easy love is hard All the pleasure and the pain Sex is easy love is hard There we go there we go there we go again Sex is easy love is hard Don't wanna just go through the motions Leave the light on don't need the dark We can open up our hearts Sex is easy love is hard Love is hard

If I’m gonna love you The way I wanna love you You have to open up and let me in If it’s gonna be the real thing Not just another fun fling Ya know love and sex, it ain’t no sin I wanna love you deep I wanna touch your soul and hold it Give you what you need You want it too I know it Watch what I can do I’ll set you free I wanna love you deep You can dance around it Ain’t no doubt about it When I’m in love I’m the kind that gives it all Take you to the right spot We can get real hot If you wanna get right to it, let down your wall I wanna love you deep I wanna touch your soul and hold it Give you what you need You want it too I know it Watch what I can do I’ll set you free Passion and desire No need to give it time Give me the chance And I’ll make you come alive I got my arms open Just waitin’ and hopin’ That you let yourself fall in love I wanna love you deep I wanna touch your soul and hold it Give you what you need You want it too I know it Watch what I can do I’ll set you free I wanna love you deep I wanna touch your soul and hold it Give you what you need You want it too I know it Watch what I can do I’ll set you free

Mixed Up 02:52
Didn’t think it was gonna be a thing but the things they Say in magazines When you fall in love it’s supposed to be amazing Then I turn my TV on, all hope is gone I’m doing it wrong Oh Oh I called him baby They got a formula for how it ought to be I thought it was about chemistry I’m all mixed up Don’t wanna be somebody’s fool Somebody went and changed the rules It really shouldn’t be this tough All mixed up I ain’t got no crystal ball Don’t know which way to fall In love I’m all mixed up Didn’t think it was gonna be a date But he’s late is this his escape Should I call him up or just sit here waiting Should I buy a drink, what would he think Something pink with one of those cute little umbrella I’ll try to be myself when he walks through the door Trouble is I don’t know who myself is anymore I’m all mixed up Don’t wanna be somebody’s fool Somebody went and changed the rules It really shouldn’t be this tough All mixed up I ain’t got no crystal ball Don’t know which way to fall In love I’m all mixed up Oh blame it on the changing times Oh someone went and blurred the lines With all this other stuff Yeah now I’m all mixed up Yeah, I’m all mixed up Don’t wanna be somebody’s fool Somebody went and changed the rules It really shouldn’t be this tough All mixed up I ain’t got no crystal ball Don’t know which way to fall In love I’m all mixed up Yeah, I’m all mixed up Yeah, I’m all mixed up

Wreckage 03:06
You left those records on the floor Songs you don’t love anymore One still spinnin’ needle’s clickin’ says it’s over And that crystal souvenir You bought for me last year Like us it’s just shattered The wreckage Scattered love in pieces We had so much Where did it go Where did it go And I’m just left here in The wreckage There we are you and I A photo stuck in time In that frame, we stay the same When you were lovin’ me That picture hung up on the wall Like everything, it took the fall What was us hides under dust Just a memory And it don’t matter The wreckage Scattered love in pieces We had so much Where did it go Where did it go And I’m just left here in The wreckage Gonna find my way out somehow oh Sifting through this mess on the ground oh Where did it go Where did it go And I’m just left here in The wreckage In the wreckage In the wreckage

People talk don’t care what they say I don’t let their words get in my way I’ve seen dreamers losing heart Letting go of who they are The tough get going when the going’s tough I never ever thought of giving up In this life we have a choice Shut down or find a voice I’m not standing still There’s no wasting time With all my strength and will I’m staying on this ride Livin’ out my passion Tryin’ to make it happen I’m already there with the songs I sing I’m not waiting in the wings Melodies, words and my guitar Sing out the way I see things for what they are From the stage I see their faces They feel my soul been to those places I’m not standing still There’s no wasting time With all my strength and will I’m staying on this ride Livin’ out my passion Tryin’ to make it happen I’m already there with the songs I sing I’m not waiting in the wings I’m not waiting I’m not waiting Waiting in the wings I’m livin’ out my passion Waiting in the wings Yeah I’m already there Waiting in the wings I’m not waiting Waiting in the wings I’m already there with the songs I sing

Dignity 03:51
Some women livin’ in a man’s world Sometimes get shut out A young man livin’ in the hood, Just tryin’ to find his way out The Wall Street insiders Always seem to stay on top While the rest of us just want to live We don’t ask a lot They could keep their greed That’s not happiness We could keep our hearts That’s real success And they could never take away our Dignity When the goin’ gets rough Sometimes this livin’ is tough I try to keep my Dignity Even though life is hard I’m showing my battle scars So I keep my Dignity When the goin’ gets rough Sometimes this livin’ is tough I try to keep my Dignity Even though life is hard I’m showing my battle scars So I keep my 85 years old in a home alone So neglected People spend their lives in cubicles so disconnected An innocent young man hangin’ out In the wrong place to be Next thing you know he’s getting shot down right there In the street Grieving moms and dads Losin’ a son How can we let that happen to anyone But no one can take away their Dignity When the goin’ gets rough Sometimes this livin’ is tough I try to keep my Dignity Even though life is hard I’m showing my battle scars So I keep my Dignity When the goin’ gets rough Sometimes this livin’ is tough I try to keep my Dignity Even though life is hard I’m showing my battle scars So I keep my “There’s power in pride” “There’s hope in life” Tryin’ to work a 9 to 5 to make a livin’ Bills just keep on coming they keep takin’ with no givin’ Barely see ya fam cuz ya workin’ mad hours When you make it home it’s only time for food and showers Take a look around and check the state you are all in Holdin’ on by a string we about to break or bend Swallow my pride so when my daughter look me deep in my eyes I can stand tall with my head high Like This world’s a crazy place We gotta hold our heads up high And have faith We all gotta hold on to our Dignity When the goin’ gets rough Sometimes this livin’ is tough I try to keep my Dignity Even though life is hard I’m showing my battle scars So I keep my Dignity When the goin’ gets rough Sometimes this livin’ is tough I try to keep my Dignity Even though life is hard I’m showing my battle scars So I keep my Dignity When the goin’ gets rough Sometimes this livin’ is tough I try to keep my Dignity Even though life is hard I’m showing my battle scars So I keep my Dignity When the goin’ gets rough Sometimes this livin’ is tough I try to keep my Dignity Even though life is hard I’m showing my battle scars So I keep my Dignity When the goin’ gets rough Sometimes this livin’ is tough I try to keep my

Under the clock Down by Main street Me and the boys sing We got a good sound Under the clock That’s where they all know me Snappin’ my fingers Struttin’ my feet Bangin’ on the mailbox Keeping the beat We ain’t looking for all the answers Any special way we should be Nobody promised us pocket full of chances And life ain’t like it is on TV But in Queens I wear the crown And the boys never let me down Someday we’re gonna tear up this town Tell all your friends They should stop Under the clock Down by Main street Me and the boys sing We got a good sound Under the clock That’s where they all know me Snappin’ my fingers Struttin’ my feet Bangin’ on the mailbox Keeping the beat Mom and dad worked hard to make life better That’s the way they think I should be I’m sittin’ on the top while they climbin’ up the ladder Cause I stay here and got what I need Turn up the radio Give me a hot slice to go Hail hail rock’n’roll Tell all your friends They should stop Under the clock Down by Main street Me and the boys sing We got a good sound Under the clock That’s where they all know me Snappin’ my fingers Struttin’ my feet Bangin’ on the mailbox Keeping the beat Some people think we’re clowns They don’t like us hangin’ around But they know they can’t keep us down Tell all your friends They should stop Under the clock Down by Main street Me and the boys sing We got a good sound Under the clock That’s where they all know me Snappin’ my fingers Struttin’ my feet Bangin’ on the mailbox Keeping the beat Under the clock Tell all your friends They should stop Under the clock We gotta good sound Under the clock Oh that’s where all my friends are
