I can't help myself Whenever you're around me, girl I want no one else Lady, you just rock my world I tried to fight it but it don't make sense You seem to break my defense Your vibe and your confidence Drives me crazy, takes over me Whenever you come around My walls they come tumbling down You know that you wear the crown You drive me crazy, take over me What else can you Expect a man to do When he's around you, girl What else can I say When you come my way Whether night or day, girl I can't help myself Whenever you're around me, girl I want no one else Lady, you just rock my world I can't help myself Whenever you're around me, girl I want no one else Lady, you just rock my world You make all my senses weak Sometimes it is hard to speak And when you bring out the freak It drives me crazy, takes over me Girl, no matter where you are Even if you're near or far You know you shine like a star It drives me crazy, takes over me What else can you Expect a man to do When he's around you, girl What else can I say When you come my way Whether night or day, girl I can't help myself Whenever you're around me, girl I want no one else Lady, you just rock my world I can't help myself Whenever you're around me, girl I want no one else Lady, you just rock my world I can't help myself Whenever you're around me, girl I want no one else Lady, you just rock my world

I'm just falling for you I hope you're falling for me too I'm just falling for you I fell so easy But can you blame me? Have you looked into a mirror lately? I felt so helpless Like the rainfall Now I'm wondering if you'll be there to catch me It's the way you are I would never change a thing You're an angel from above So your love can't be replaced (love can't be replaced) You got me feeling things I've never felt I met you and I swear it's been over since The way you feel, you feeling heaven-sent Your eyes they tell me everything You don't gotta smile, or put blush on your cheeks (no, no) You don't gotta dress up for me (for me) You don't gotta try to do anything I'm falling for you helplessly (you got me wondering) It's the way you are I would never change a thing (never change a thing) You're an angel from above So your love can't be replaced (love can't be replaced) You got me feeling things I've never felt I met you and I swear it's been over since The way you feel, you feeling heaven-sent Your eyes they tell me everything You got me feeling things I've never felt I met you and I swear it's been over since The way you feel, you feeling heaven-sent Your eyes they tell me everything Your eyes they tell me everything Mm-mm Your eyes they tell me everything Mm-mm

Now, you be the mother, and I'll be your fool I'll hide myself deep inside Your crimson pool The muddy water runs Beneath your folds You won't let me breathe You won't let me go Now, you be the stranger, and I'll be the white-skinned son You'll blacken my innocence With sugar and opium The children were suffocating Down in your damp cave And you were the mother, and I was the sleeping slave Protect me from violence Hold me in your cool lips You drug me with kindness So I can pretend I exist Now, you be the only child I'll suck on your breast You'll feed me with gasoline I'll burn my name in your head Ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah, ah Ah-ah-ah

I tippy-toe across your dream each night So as not to wake you Asleep in your summer A garland of flowers Yellow and white around your waist While I walk these paths of ice Ice my breast And strings of ice my hair My hands two hooks of steel Ice nose, snow eyes Frozen open mouth Flakes of snow your bridal veils I come down the soft white path Bouquets of poppies Spilling from my heart

My belly is a-cravin', I got a shakin' in my head, I feel like I'm dying, and I wish I was dead. If I live 'til tomorrow, that'll be a long time, But I'll real and I'll fall and I'll rise on cod'ine, And it's reel, and it's real, one more time. Well, when I was a young girl, I learned not to care Off whiskey, and frlick I often did swear. My mother and father said, Whiskey's a curse. But the fate of their baby was many times worse, And it's reel, and it's reel, one more time. Stay away from the cities; stay away from the town, Stay away from the man pushin' codeine around, Stay away from the stores where the remedy is fine, For better your pain than be caught on cod'ine, And it's reel, and it's reel, one more time. You'll forget you're a woman, you'll forget about men, Try it just once, and you'll try it again. You'll forget about life, you'll forget about time, And you'll live off your days as a slave to cod'ine, And it's reel, and it's reel, one more time. But, if I die tomorrow, still one thing I've done, I've heeded the warning that I got when I was young. My one satisfaction, it comes when I think That I'm livin' my life without bendin' to drink, And it's real, and it's real, one more time. And my belly is a-cravin'; I got a shakin' in my head, I feel like I'm dying, and I wish I was dead. If I live 'til tomorrow, that'll be a long time, But I'll reel and I'll fall and I'll die on cod'ine, And it's real, and it's real, one more time.

I tell you a story, it's a true one And I'll tell it like you'll understand And ain't gonna talk like some history man I look out and I see a land Young and lovely, hard and strong For fifty thousand years We've danced her praises Prayed our thanks and we've just begun This is, this is my country Young and growin' free and flowin' sea to sea Yes this is my country Ripe and bearing miracles in ev'ry pond and tree Her spirit walks the high country Givin' free wild samples And settin' an example how to give Yes, this is my country Retchin' and turnin', she's like a baby learnin' how to live I can stand upon a hill at dawn Look all around me, feel her surround me Soldier blue, can't you see her life has just begun? It's beating inside us Telling us she's here to guide us Ooh, soldier blue, soldier blue Can't you see that there's another way to love her? Ooh Yes, this is my country And I sprang from her and I'm learnin' how to count upon her Tall trees and the corn is high country Yes, I love her and I'm learnin' how to take care of her Whenever the news stories get me down I take a drink of freedom to think of North America from toe to crown It's never long before I know just why I belong here Ooh, soldier blue, soldier blue Can't you see that there's another way to love her? Soldier blue, soldier blue Can't you see that there's another way to love her? Soldier blue, soldier blue Can't you see that there's another way to love her?

Mi tabla, el mar, y yo Mi piel se moja com el sol Si en una ola yo voy Un mundo neuve encontrare Soy mas libre que un ave Me siento parte del mar Toda mi vida Un parti (?) estare Yo soy el mar Junta arena estoy yo Mi guitarra canta para el Las olas quieren jugar Y you las quiero besar You, your surfboard, and the sea The three of you all drenched in sun My guitar plays as you paddle out You're freeer than a bird, my love And all my life I'll stay beside you

I am recognizing that the voice inside my head Is urging me to be myself and never follow someone else Because cree? Is all like voices, we all have a different kind So just clean out all your ears, these are my views and you will find Man, It's been a minute since it's been this nice out Blue skies out, no clouds, something to write down I'll have to go home soon and try to pay the bills If I had a nickel every time they called I'd make a mill But such is life, and as much as I'd like it To be different, hard work is how you make your luck in life, right? For now I sit here, sip beer, and contemplate Maybe fiending for a smoke, I'm hoping he can concentrate Out in the sun I think of everything I've done wrong Find I can't fit it all in one song, so For every half truth and every broken promise Please, accept these words I wrote in open honesty I apologize for every choice I might have made To hurt your feelings or your health, to ever bother someone else Your style of living is your choice, and we all want a different kind So, please, love all your faults I do the same with ones we find cause - I've been up, I've been down I've been lucky enough to find my higher ground In all my days, I've hoped and prayed That one of these days, I'd wake up, get up and go away Well I've got my rent on my mind, worry most of the time While wasting never spent hell-bent on the grind Down the wishing well fell the odd center a dime But only, seven percent of it supposed to be mine I'm getting, kinda fed up with trying to get ahead That's why - 9 out of 10 times I'm liable to be lying in bed Instead of living life like I'm dead No longer sit in the prison inside my head I'm starting to come to my senses and No longer be so defensive and Though sometimes seems so senseless I get back up and go I've been up, I've been down I've been lucky enough to find my higher ground In all my days, I've hoped and prayed That one of these days I'd just wake up, get up and go away This song is like a counseling session (whoosah) I need to channel my aggression (whoosah) I need to handle my profession I'm the planet's biggest panic stricken manic-depressant Questioning myself as I'm sitting right and looking back Drinking Jack, Heinekens, in both hands, crooked hat Mr. small complex smoking a cigarette Like you don't know me, what the fuck you think you're looking at Why is the fire in my eyes like I'm evil It's just I'm always suspicious of new people Self-centered lieutenant, I'm a well balanced soldier A lie with a strategist's chip on both shoulders Push the bullshit out of my life, keep biting Spiritual enlightenment, price this excitement Build strength within, I'm trying to find space Freedom of choice, but trying for blind faith I've been up, I've been down I've been lucky enough to find my higher ground In all my days, I've hoped and prayed That one of these days I'd just wake up, get up and go away Cause I've been up, I've been down I've been lucky enough to find my higher ground In all my days, I've hoped and prayed That one of these days I'd just wake up, get up and go away
