Rose Conley - G.B. Grayson & Henry Whitter

I got a hundred dollars smokin' in my billfold I know I ought to save it but it's burnin' a hole Right through my pocket and into my skin Come Monday morning I'll be broke again CHORUS It's finally Friday I'm free again I got my motor runnin' for a wild weekend It's finally Friday I'm out of control Forget the western blues and let the good times roll I've got a little sugar baby down the road Sittin' on ready and rockin' on dough We'll dance up a storm and later on tonight Be workin' on doin' all the wrong things right CHORUS Monday I'll be hurtin' with my head in a vice Tuesday I'll be wonderin' if I'll ever survive Wednesday and Thursday I'll be slowly tunin' in Friday I'll be revvin' up my motor again... Finally Friday I'm free again I got my motor runnin' for a wild weekend It's finally Friday I'm out of control Forget the western blues and let the good times roll It's finally Friday I got my motor runnin' for a wild weekend It's finally Friday Forget the western blues and let the good times roll...

I like to see the world With the innocence of a girl But I'm older now I've figured it out 'Cause I'm older now I like to see my father The way other people do Not through the lens of a daughter But with a different view But I'm stuck with these same old eyes I'm stuck with the same old eyes I'm sittin' here in the dark Waitin' for the lights to come back on But I didn't pay the bill I guess I forgot again I'm doin' my best you know To let you in and let things go I guess it just takes some time Figurin' out what's really mine But I'm stuck with these same old eyes Seeing things wrong and telling me the same old lies Doctor says I've got 20/20 but I think he's the one who's blind 'Cause I'm stuck with these same old eyes Ooh oh oh oh oh Ooh oh oh oh oh I'm stuck with these same old eyes Seeing things wrong and telling me the same old lies Doctor says I've got twenty-twenty but I think he's the one who's blind 'Cause I'm stuck with these same old eyes I'm stuck with these same old eyes

Nobody wants to know your weakness Ooh, does it always end up like this? We can never be ourselves Show me what I'm workin' with, now baby I wanna see you shed your skin Once it's underway, may the best man win And I hope that you surprise me Ooh, does it always end up like this? Where nobody wants to know your weakness Ooh, does it always end up like this? We can never be ourselves Ooh, does it always end up like this? Nobody wants to know your weakness Ooh, does it always end up like this? We can never be ourselves Ooh, does it always end up like this? I'm scarred, so we always speak the same language Ooh, does it always end up like this? We can never be ourselves We can never be ourselves

On the corner of the street In the city that never sleeps Elevator to a top most suite And a hundred gazes But I swear your staring right through me I'll die before I wait to live this curse There's nothing good about the way it hurts You're acting like you got this act rehearsed What could be worse A glance in your direction Staring at your perfection But you're not paying attention Cause I'm invisible The way you leave me hanging feels so miserable Treat me like something more than fictional I'm on my knees praying for a miracle Oh, cause I'm invisible Cause I'm invisible Could we have a future Probably But on your radar No, it's not me Call the doctor Give me what I need Prescribe me something Oh, to cure this (?) disease I'll die before I wait to live this curse There's nothing good about the way it hurts You're acting like you got this act rehearsed It can't get worse, no A glance in your direction Staring at your perfection But you're not paying attention Cause I'm invisible The way you leave me hanging feels so miserable Treat me like something more than fictional I'm on my knees praying for a miracle Oh, cause I'm invisible Cause I'm invisible Now you see me No you don't I'm feeling like a ghost Now you see me No you don't I feel it I'm feeling invisible The way you leave me hanging feels so miserable Treat me like something more than fictional I'm on my knees praying for a miracle Oh, cause I'm invisible The way you leave me hanging feels so miserable Treat me like something more than fictional I'm on my knees praying for a miracle Oh, cause I'm invisible Now you see me?

Nights like tonight, you like to hide out in the rain Nights like tonight, her heart never feels the same Because these minutes drag along The second that you're gone It feels right but it's so wrong Night's like tonight, you dim the lights to set the tone Nights like tonight, I wish you never had to go As soon as you are MIA, I start to crave your warm embrace It feels right but it's so wrong I can't escape your scent embedded in my pillowcase Picture your twisting as I kiss you in the place that you love It's hard to fight this feeling when I'm just not thinking straight You know I hate when you're I just can't take when you're gone Gone I just can't take when you're gone Gone I just can't take when you're gone Nights like tonight, you're standing by to misbehave Nights like tonight, I'll take my time to love in vain Cause the highlights hold me down But I can't change to save myself And, in the end, in the end, I'm still low I know it I can't escape your scent embedded in my pillowcase Picture your twisting as I kiss you in the place that you love It's hard to fight this feeling when I'm just not thinking straight You know I hate when you're I just can't take when you're gone Gone I just can't take when you're gone Gone After these words you'll move along But you know where you belong I want more than nothing on Nights like tonight, you like to hide out in the rain Nights like tonight, her heart never feels the same Nights like tonight, you like to hide out in the rain Nights like tonight, her heart never feels the same I can't take when you're gone Gone I just can't take when you're gone Gone I just can't take when you're gone Gone

So what's your secret One touch from you, I feel royal Stirring in my, burning in my blood Come on, let your guard down Show me your kingdom Every curve of the hills and valleys Getting lost in such a garden, love I could have a castle filled with riches I could see for miles but have no vision Diamonds on my hair but something's missing without you I could rule the world but still be lonely Rather let the crowd come overthrow me 'Cause I, I know I'm missing something Without you I, I'm the king of nothing I'd be the king of nothing I'd be the king of nothing I'd be the king of nothing Instead be humble Without your footsteps down the hall And I'm the off one coming undone now If I didn't have you None of the rhythm would flow quite the same You're the only thing that can't be replaced And if I tried, I'd never know quite how I could have a castle filled with riches I could see for miles but have no vision Diamonds on my hair but something's missing without you I could rule the world but still be lonely Rather let the crowd come overthrow me 'Cause I, I know I'm missing something Without you I, I'm the king of nothing I'd be the king of nothing I'd be the king of nothing I'm nothing if I stand here on my own So lay me down, lay me down upon your throne It's nothing if I do this all alone 'Cause without you I'm missing something Without you I I'm the king of nothing I'd be the king of nothing I'd be the king of nothing I'd be the king of nothing I'd be the king of nothing I'd be the king of nothing

Harsh words are spoken Promises are broken Old wounds are opened And love walks out that door Too proud to make up You're ready to break up Too late you wake up And love walks out that door Baby oh sweet baby I didn't mean a word that I said (Well now) you know that I love you Can't we talk it over in bed I never meant to hurt you Must have been out of my head Tell me that you still want me Can't we talk it over in bed (Talk talk talk it over) Harsh words are spoken Promises are broken Old wounds are opened And love walks out that door Too proud to make up You're ready to break up Too late you wake up And love walks out that door Come on a little closer Can't we just forgive and forget Everything seems to work out I never meant to hurt you I must have been out of my head Tell me that you still want me Can't we talk it over in bed Don't let it no don't let it slip away Oh no baby ooh
