What Am I Gonna Do About You

(karen staley)

The whole night in the kitchen
Saying words we'll both regret
And you scream you we're leaving
And you cursed the day we met

The sound goes above the slamming door
And broken dishes thrown around the floor
So loud it made us stop
It was the sound of a teardrop

Chorus:
When i heard her crying
Thought she was tucked away in bed
I heard her crying
Wish we could take back what we said
I didn't think she was old enough to know
Oh lord we must have hurt her so
When she begged you not to go
I heard her crying

Well i'd have given anything
For time to erase
When i turned around and saw
Those little tears roll down her face

Oh my heart nearly broke in two
When she said
Mommy what did i do
To make you and daddy mad
Oh i'm sorry i was bad

I looked at you and you looked at me
And we felt each other's shame
Kneeling down to hold our child
Said she was not to blame
Now sometimes when we're angry
And say things that aren't true
We still love each other
And baby we love you

Repeat chorus

(jon vezner, david stringfellow, nancy montgomery), this song was used on the movie, tremors

Well pardon me but you have my attention
Ever since you strolled into the room
Believe me that it's not my intention
If i appear to come on too smooth

It's not like me to make such advances
But this time baby i could not resist
So if you're up for taking a chance on love
I can't see a better time than this

Chorus:
So baby why not tonight
This could be the start of something right
Hey you can take it easy
We can take it so slow
We can take it anywhere that you'd like to go
So baby why not tonight
The stars are out and i'm sure they'll agree
Oh it's a perfect night for falling in love
So why not fall in love with me

Oh maybe we could go out for some dinner
And later on how we could do the town
Ya know i consider myself a winner
Just to have a boy like you around

Then if you're up for doing some dancing
Yeah i know a place they dance until the dawn
Anything you like will be alright
So why not take a chance and come along

Repeat chorus (why not fall in love, why not fall in love, baby why not
Fall
In love with me)

(dave loggins, don schlitz)

We had a fight
A lover's quarrel
Angry words spoken in haste
Deep in the night
It went out of control
And with tears streaming down my face
I slammed the door and i walked out
Swearing that we were through
Now i'm sitting in a bar
Thinking i've gone too far
Wondering what i'm gonna do
Thinking about calling you

Chorus:
To my left blue collar
To my right a high dollar man
Across the bar a smooth bartender
Who thinks i'm in the palm of his hand
Well they buy me drinks
Light my cigarette
They're all wondering which one i'm gonna choose
Oh my hand's on my glass
My second margarita
And my mind is on you
My mind is on you

Well i ran away
In a moment of weakness
I couldn't hold my own
I should stay
Because being together
Means more than who was right or wrong
And sitting in a room full of lonely faces
You're the only one i see
If you only knew
I was thinking of you
Would you come and rescue me
Maybe i should call and see

Repeat chorus
(my third margarita)

I should of known i could never get along
Outside of your love
It's last call
And i'm out of cigarettes
They are all wondering what i'm gonna do
Oh my hand's on the glass
It's my last margarita
And my mind is on you
My mind is on you
My mind is on you

(donny lowery, dave loggins)

All my life i've looked at love as a fairy tale
A woman a man never never land and a storybook ending
Leading roles and my heros upon the silver screen
I played em all but always came up empty
But one of these days i'll be in a movie with 'em

Cause i believe that fantasy
Is one step from reality
For those of us who dream of love
And i believe cause i want to
There's some one man for someone who believes in love
To not give up
Even though you've heard so many say
That's the way the story goes

Chorus:
I'm lookin for a new love story
I'm lookin for a yellow brick road
That'll carry me to his door
I'm lookin for a new love story
Oh one that's never been told before

And i have searched the oceans of many a man's eyes
But i have yet to feel like more than some deserted island
I know a relationship will come for me in time
And i can't wait to see his face on my horizon
Cause one of these days he'll sail into my life

Repeat verse 2

Repeat chorus

(dave loggins, lisa silver, don schlitz)

I would have waited forever
If i'd known that you'd be here
We could have shared our lives together
And held each other close all through the years
But i've met someone before you
And my heart just couldn't wait
So no matter how much i adore you
I've got to stand behind the promise that i made

Chorus:
Where were you
When i could have loved you
Where were you
When i gave my heart away
All my life i've been dreaming of you
You came along one promise too late
You came along one promise too late

I won't say that i'm sorry that i met you
I can't have you but i never will forget you

Repeat chorus x2
