I Don't Need Anything

Thought I had enough to get me by
A roof over my head and four wheels to drive
A little cash in the bank for a rainy day
Before you came along, I thought I had it made
Now all that stuff's been adding up
To a whole lotta nothing-
Since I found my missing something
Cus money don't make the world go round
And without ya girl, home is just a house
A picture's only worth half the words if you ain't in it
You're right there at the top of my list
Long as you got a kiss for my lips
I'll be just fine- ain't nowhere I gotta be
If I got you, I don't need anything
These days I ain't praying for greener grass
Or a little more of what I already have
Na, I thank God for teaching me
The difference between what I want and what I need
Cus money don't make the world go round
And without ya girl, home is just a house
A picture's only worth half the words if you ain't in it
You're right there at the top of my list
Long as you got a kiss for my lips
I'll be just fine- ain't nowhere I gotta be
If I got you, I don't need anything
Na, I don't need anything, oh baby
Yeah, all that stuff, it keeps adding up
To a whole lotta nothing
Since I found my missing something
Cus money don't make the world go round
And without ya girl, home is just a house
A picture's only worth half the words, baby
You're right there at the top of my list
Long as you got a kiss for my lips
I'll be just fine- ain't nowhere I gotta be
Na, I don't need anything
I don't need anything

Photograph

I found it in the bottom of a beat-up, cardboard shoe box
One of them things you don’t wanna look at everyday
But can’t bring yourself to throw away
A scratched-up, faded Polaroid saying a thousand words
That I never had the nerve to say 'cus I was young and dumb
And I knew everything
You were thinking of our future
And I was thinking of myself
You wore your heart on your sleeve
And I hung mine on a shelf
Like a photograph
Smile on three
Making it seem like we were gonna last
But you loved me
And I couldn’t love you back
Let you keep on falling
Should've let you move on
But I kept stalling
Wish I could step inside and say, "you deserve better than that"
Yeah, but there ain't no taking back a photograph
If I knew then what I know now, there’d be no heartbreak to remember
Before we ever took that picture we can’t erase-
I would've let you go, but it’s too late
Instead it’s hiding all the hurting-
Painted happy on your face
Perfect on the surface
But the true story ain’t
In this photograph
Smile on three
Making it seem like we were gonna last
But you loved me
And I couldn’t love you back
Let you keep on falling
I should've let you move on
But I kept stalling
Wish I could step inside and say, "you deserve better than that"
Yeah, but there ain't no taking back a photograph
Mmm, a photograph
I hope you're making some memories
The kind you wanna save
Hope you find that happy ending
The kind you wanna hang
Instead of this photograph
Smile on three
Making it seem like we were gonna last
But you loved me
And I couldn’t love you back
Let you keep on falling
I should've let you move on
But I kept stalling
Wish I could step inside and say, "you deserve better than that"
Yeah, but there ain't no taking back a photograph
Mmm, a photograph
A photograph

Space

Rolling like a stone on this desert highway
No place I gotta be
Just a dotted line and the the hood of a '68
Stretched out in front of me
Yeah, since you been gone
I’ve been moving on
Like a gypsy king, wild and free
Ain’t gonna be caught
Like a desperado burning a trail out to "Hole-in-the-Wall"
Like a freight-jumper riding the wind on the L&C
Like a cowboy strapped
On a green-broke runaway
Baby, you can have your space
There’s a bar in Tesuque and a girl named Ruby I used to know
There’s a house out under the edge of the sun that ain’t got no phone
Out where nothing rings
If you wanna find me, I’ll be...
Like a gypsy king, wild and free
Ain’t gonna be caught
Like a desperado burning a trail out to "Hole-in-the-Wall"
Like a freight-jumper riding the wind on the L&C
Like a cowboy strapped
On a green-broke runaway
Baby, you can have your space
500 miles, a tank full of gas
Baby, just like that
Like a gypsy king, wild and free
Ain’t gonna be caught
Like a desperado burning a trail out to "Hole-in-the-Wall"
Like a freight-jumper riding the wind on the L&C
Like a cowboy strapped
On a green-broke runaway
Like a cowboy strapped
On a green-broke runaway
Baby, you can have your space
Baby, you can have your space

I remember saying, what's a girl like you doing in a dive like this?
You laughed when I told you I was jealous of that margarita kissing your lips
Then you dropped a couple quarters in the jukebox, and on came Purple Rain
We were the only two out on that floor that night and I remember thinking
Round and round and round and round we go
Where we'll end up, only heaven knows
By the time that song was over, I knew I didn't stand a chance
I was falling fast in a slow dance
We sat there and talked all night till they kicked us out
We took a cab back to your place, yeah we laugh about it now
You threw on some Marvin Gaye on the stereo, a little Sexual Healing
Feeling like the only two people in the world, and I remember thinking
Round and round and round and round we go
Where we'll end up, only heaven knows
By the time that song was over, I knew I didn't stand a chance
I was falling fast in a slow dance
Tonight, as we sway around this room
It takes me back to that first time I first laid eyes on you
It was margaritas and Purple Rain
A one-room apartment and Marvin Gaye
Hearts on fire
Wild desire
Skin on skin
I’ll never forget
Round and round and round and round we go
Where we'll end up, only heaven knows
By the time that song was over, I knew I didn't stand a chance
I was falling fast in a slow dance

If This Didn't Kill Me
03:21

There's the bed where you laid yourself
For the last time baby, next to me
There's the shirt you left on the floor
Yeah just like me, you don’t want it no more
There's the ring that you saw in the window
Held me like you'd never let go
Never figured on the hard times did ya?
Don’t ya know I was right there with ya dying too
But I woke up breathing, and I can't believe it
I’m still, still alive without you
My broken heart, it just keeps on beating
Guess I don’t need you like I used to
You up and turned this man into a man of steel
If this didn't kill me
Baby, nothing will
They say down the line, time’ll heal what you done to me
Hey baby don’t you worry, I don’t feel a damn thing
Now there's no one to be here for
Hope you find what you're looking for
I laid down soon as you left
And I tried to sleep myself to death
But I woke up breathing, and I can't believe it
I’m still, still alive without you
My broken heart, it just keeps on beating
Guess I don’t need you like I used to
You up and turned this man into a man of steel
If this didn't kill me
Baby, nothing will
But I woke up breathing, and I can't believe it
I’m still, still alive without you
My broken heart, it just keeps on beating
Guess I don’t need you like I used to, no
You up and turned this man into a man of steel
If this didn't kill me
If this didn't kill me
Baby, nothing will
Baby, nothing will

Old Times' Sake
03:27

It's been a while since I been back in town
Been a minute since we been hanging out
Back before we could even buy a drink
Back when the good times didn't cost us a thing
Yeah, we learned a lot about life since then
What ya say tonight we just try to forget
Why we couldn't make all those dreams come true
Honey, time don't mean nothing 'tween me and you
Cus it's our kinda night to go for a ride
Sip a little something underneath a full moon sky
Past the woods to our old spot
Picking right back up where we left off
Count the stars till the sky goes blue
Kiss like only we know how to do
Let’s rewind some time and let it play
Come on baby, for old times' sake
Left our clothes on the dock before we got in
Now there’s nothing 'tween us but water and skin
Cold as hell and hearts on fire
4 AM and we ain't even tired
Laying in the back seat soaking wet
All tangled up and outta breath
Why we couldn't get it right, God only knows
You’re the only thing that feels like home
Cus it's our kinda night to go for a ride
Sip a little something underneath a full moon sky
Past the woods to our old spot
Picking right back up where we left off
Count the stars till the sky goes blue
Kiss like only we know how to do
Let’s rewind some time and let it play
Come on baby, for old times' sake
We'll wake up tomorrow - hug and kiss goodbye
Like nothing happened - like we'll be just fine
Till the next night the stars align
When we can kick it back to old times...
Cus it's our kinda night to go for a ride
Sip a little something underneath a full moon sky
Past the woods to our old spot
Picking right back up where we left off
Count the stars till the sky goes blue
Kiss like only we know how to do
Let’s rewind some time and let it play
Come on baby, for old times' sake

Only Happens Once
03:30

They say you’re more likely to be struck by lightning
But It ain’t for a lack of trying
Easy come,
But that wind keeps blowing
Guess it brought you right here to me
Feels like I’m right where I need to be
The lucky ones-
So let’s take this in slow motion
I'm gonna breathe every kiss like it's all I got
Falling deep into you, ready or not
Cus if it only happens once
I'm gonna love you second to none
You got my soul, I ain’t messing around this time
We might have 60 more years to go
Baby, even when we’re 80 years old
I’ll look at you and thank God for one hell of a ride
Well, it don’t always come around but when it does
It only happens once
I’ve done the breaking and I’ve been the broken
At the time I didn’t even know it
I was on my way
Just another heart in training
Teaching me how to put you first
To mean every word, for better or worse
Cus if it only happens once
I'm gonna love you second to none
You got my soul, I ain’t messing around this time
We might have 60 more years to go
Baby, even when we’re 80 years old
I’ll look at you and thank God for one hell of a ride
Well, it don’t always come around but when it does
It only happens once
When all those pieces fall together
Become somebody else’s treasure
And all you can think about is getting on with forever
And even then, forever won't be enough when you realize
That it only happens once
If it only happens once
I'm gonna love you second to none
You got my soul, I ain’t messing around this time
I might have 60 more years to go
Baby, even when we’re 80 years old
I’ll look at you and thank God for one hell of a ride
Well, it don’t always come around but when it does
No, it don't always come around but when it does
It only happens once
It only happens once
