Pain To Kill

So she can't go out tonight again
Her sister's sick, she's got a baby sick
Yeah that sounds like a pretty good excuse
Now you didn't here any of this from me
But things aren't always want they seem
Brace yourself, this may come as a shock to you
Girls lie too
We don't care how much money you make
What you drive,
Or what you weigh
Size don't matter anyway
Girl's lie too
Don't think you're the only ones
Who bend it, break it, stretch it some
We learn from you
Girls lie too
I can't wait to hear about your round of golf
I'd love to see deer heads hangin' on the wall
And we like hooters for their hotwings too
Other guys never cross our minds
We don't wonder what it might be like
How could it be any better than it is with you
Girls lie too
We don't care how much money you make
What you drive,
Or what you weigh
Size don't matter anyway
Girl's lie too
Don't think you're the only ones
Who bend it, break it, stretch it some
We learn from you
Girls lie too
Yeah girls lie too
We always forgive and forget
The cards and flowers you never sent
Will never be brought up again
Girls lie too
All gray sweat pants turn us on
We like your friends
And we love your mom
And that's the truth
Girls lie too
Yeah that's the truth
Girls lie too
No we don't care how much hair you have
Yeah that looks good
Comb it over like that
Prrrrrr

Caught between a rock and a heartache
in the middle of here and torn in-two
not sure which road that I'll take
on my way to over you

Maybe I'll get lost in the past
maybe I'll get past the loss
either way, with or without you
I'm takin off

CHORUS:
Now that my wheels are turnin
I know I can get there on my own
Now that my fears are burnin
I'm almost gone
closer to where I'm headed
findin my way wont take me long
I may not be there yet
but I'm almost gone

What if I get stuck in a memory...
get there and I can't turn back around
no such thing as the wrong direction
no tellin just where I'm bound

REPEAT CHORUS

Gonna go as far as I can see
even if it's right in front of me
and I'll know that's where I need to be
(where I need to be)

REPEAT CHORUS

Almost gone

Almost gone

Martha in the mornin
Oprah in the afternoon
weddings in the garded
have a makeover too
watchin TV on a sick day
tell me "What's it mean to you?"

CHORUS:
They think I'm out of touch
but they don't know much
about my world
Got a wing and a prayer
and a job on the line
and there ain't no time
for a workin girl

Well, they say they represent me
in the fashion magazines
Well, honey all I see
is these girls don't look like me

Tell me "What's it like to be rich. . .
and barely seventeen?"

REPEAT CHORUS

Starry nights on the beach
for worlds within my reach
but they don't take american express

REPEAT CHORUS

A workin girl

Got a wing and a prayer
and a boss and a job on the line
a workin girl

I'm a workin girl

I've had love and love's had me
I've been held and been set free
And I have lived enough to know
That you might stay or you might go
So here I am one more time
Call me brave call me blind

I'm gonna count to 3
I'm gonna hold my breath
Try not to be afraid
Tho it scares me half to death
I'm out here on a limb
Altho I know that it might break
My heart is gonna want you anyway
And if this love has any chance at all
Someone's gotta be the first to fall

The best is just a touch away
We'll make forever day by day
It'd be a shame to let this go
How sad to think we'd never know
How the morning light would fall on us
After we make all night in love

I'm gonna count to 3
I'm gonna hold my breath
Try not to be afraid
Tho it scares me half to death
I'm out here on a limb
Altho I know that it might break
My heart is gonna want you anyway
And if this love has any chance at all
Someone's gotta be the first to fall

So here I am one more time
Call me brave call me blind

I'm gonna count to 3
I'm gonna hold my breath
Try not to be afraid
Tho it scares me half to death
I'm out here on a limb
Altho I know that it might break
My heart is gonna want you anyway
And if this love has any chance at all
Someone's gotta be the first to fall

At a table for two with a romantic view,
He said: "There's somethin' that you need to know.
"I don't usually date, so if I hesitate,
"It's that I'm takin' it slow."
He said: "Darlin', I don't want to hurt you,"
As he gently reached out for her hand.
She laughed as she picked up her menu,
And said: "Mister, you don't understand.

"I've been loved, I've been left.
"I've been wronged by the best.
"I've had hopes that were shattered in two.
"I've heard promises spoken,
"I've had dreams left so broken,
"There was no chance they'd ever come true.
"It ain't easy to see by looking at me,
"But there's no hell I haven't walked through.
"If you're worried, that's fine,
"But this heart of mine's,
"Been broken by better than you."

When dinner was done, she said: "I had fun."
As they walked to her door, he smiled.
"He said: "It's only ten, could I come in?
"Maybe we could just talk for a while."
She said: "Honey, I know what you're after,
"And as much as I'd like you to stay.
"Nothing good ever lasted,
"When it gets started that way."

"I've been loved, I've been left.
"I've been wronged by the best.
"I've had hopes that were shattered in two.
"I've heard promises spoken,
"I've had dreams left so broken,
"There was no chance they'd ever come true.
"It ain't easy to see but take it from me,
"There's no hell I haven't walked through.
"An' I won't cross that line,
"'Cause this heart of mine's,
"Been broken by better than you."

"No I won't cross that line,
"'Cause this heart of mine's,
"Been broken by better than you."

I'm sitting in traffic
For the 5th year in a row
Wasting my time
Just to get
Where I don't even wanna go
I started jaunting things down
On a krispy kreme sack
Everything I'd do
If I could leave this place
And never look back

I wanna do it all
Visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankee's play ball
I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads
Down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition
Lay down the law
I wanna do it all

I want to drink tequila
Down in Tijuana
Say why not
When somebody says
Hey do you wanna
I wanna get my heart broke
Once or twice
Settle down with the love of my life
Rock little babies to sleep at night

I wanna do it all
Visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankee's play ball
I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads
Down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition
Lay down the law
I wanna do it all

I wanna stand today
Every now and then
Just doing what I want to do
When I wanna do it
Anytime I wanna do it

I wanna do it all
Visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankee's play ball
I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads
Down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition
Lay down the law

I wanna do it all
See Niagara falls
Fight city hall
Feel good in my skin
Beating the odds
With my back to the wall
Trying to rob Peter
Without paying Paul
I wanna do it all
I wanna do it all
I wanna do it all

He sais it's none of my damn business
how much he drinks
and he doesn't have a problem
no matter what the whole town thinks

At his baby's birthday party
there was whiskey on his breath
everybody wants to save him
but he's not ready yet

CHORUS:
You wanna scream
you wanna cry
you want someone to tell you why
all the hope that's in your heart is not enough
You hit your knees
you shake your fists
oh, it's the deepest wound there is
when you can't help the one you love

Her sister reads the bible
her father sits and snores
there with her every minute
cause they may not have many more

She was dancin in New Orleans
only seven weeks ago
life may go on without her
but not the life we know

REPEAT CHORUS

When someone's slippin away
right before your eyes
How useless we are
is a painful surprise

REPEAT CHORUS

When you can't help the one you love
