Love Looks Good On You~~ A song written by Peg Kay and Jack Roper
 
You'd walk around
swimming in a frown
heart torn apart
nowhere to go but down
 
I'd see your face
tears flowing free
you'd hide in your heart
hurt came too easily
 
No one could get in
not even me
I tried my damnedest
but you wouldn't let it be
 
You were the get around
flirting with every girl in town
refused a second time
love only took you down
 
I'd see your heart
not feeling a beat
rushed the crowds
in a passionate heat
 
You didn't want love
you were much to young
but that was before
this song was sung
 
Didn't want love, but I got some
now there's a heart we want to run to
I can see it in your face
love looks good on you
 
You walked in the door
smile on your skin
it can now be forgotten
where your heart had previously been
 
You walked hand in hand
piled up the day
hurt at the thought
she could be taken away
 
We didn't want to love
what did we do before
before love filled our heart
we don't want to roam anymore
 
Smiles on our face, ready to soar
the feelings strong and true
you never looked better
love looks good on you
 
love looks good on you....
 
 
 
I Wont Lose Myself
 
You want to reach me
go on and grab me
I'll let you hold on
just don't try to change me
 
You want to hold me
wrap me in your arm
squeeze me tight
but don't dull my charm
 
You want to kiss
tangle our lip
clinch my skin forever
don't make me lose my grip
 
You want to take me
let our love grow
I'll take the ride with you
don't leave the girl I used to know
 
 
Safety Net
 
Standing in the middle
twenty thousand feet
taking it all in
I feel the skip of my heart beat
 
I feel so small
in this new world
am I going to drown
in the empty space hurled
 
When my screams
lay their echo
will they be dead air
or have a place to go
 
When I cry
will he hear
my soft sobs
my lonely tear
 
Will I be lost
could I be found
will we be so far in the clouds
too far from solid ground
 
I want stable ground
I think it's found for me
if I trip and fall
is there a safety net for me
 
 
Getting Old
 
Will you catch me
if I fall
will you lift me up
when I feel so small
 
Will you hold me
when the new wears away
will you cure my blues
after many traveled day
 
Will you still bring breakfast
when I'm lazy in bed
after five years
many heated words said
 
Will you still kiss
strong and passionately
years have let me go
will you still love me
 
 
In The Night I Don't Belong
 
Not so sure
shaky in the knees
praying silently
don't make me a fool please
 
Surrounded in wealth
starch shirt walking by
my poor status
blaring in their eye
 
Pupils staring in disgust
whispers in the room flare
I try to ignore
I can't say I don't care
 
I soak in the glares
like I've done something wrong
I suffer through the torture
in the night I don't belong
 
 
 
Marble Floor
 
Everywhere I turn
there isn't me
fancy leather coach
I don't sit on money
 
I need a map
to get to the second floor
please tell me how
to open this Victorian door
 
The lamp in the den
is more than a year's salary
a light is a light
or at least it is to me
 
I take a look around
standing on marble floor
everything around me
is everything I don't stand for
 
 
In Love
 
See my heart
in full blare
see my scars
open and bare
 
See my skin
ripped and tattered
see my past face
wide and battered
 
See my soul
open to see
see the fear
love has given me
 
See my love
out for all to see
don't take for granted
trust spared by me
 
 
In Living Fantasy
 
You loved me
locked me away
left me to ponder
the passing of the day
 
Gave me all I wanted
or I thought so
showed me new life
higher places to go
 
You held me tight
sheltered my tear
nothing felt worthwhile
without fighting fear
 
You pulled me close
said I'll never feel pain again
this isn't real life
it's a fantasy I'm living in
 
 
 
Everything I Want No More
 
I wanted more
bigger house to live in
fancy cars to drive
no debt to swim in
 
Big grass filled yard
for the many kid to play
fancy dinner parties
to cap off the relaxing day
 
No worrying about money
time could be wasted away
I wouldn't need to work
I could piss the day away
 
Nannies to live in
take responsibility away
no more fixing dinners
the maid could slave away
 
The house is huge
but hollow and empty
I don't drive the car
the car drives me
 
The yard isn't fun
when I'm not there to see them play
heels have blistered my feet
party dresses just get put away
 
I never see my kids
the only smile to my face
I don't want stuffed crab
to take hamburger helper's place
 
I thought I wanted more
but more made me feel empty
I had the riches the whole time
right in front of me
 
 
 
Insecurity
 
The words come out
I feel the rush of regret
overwhelming expectations
that cannot be met
 
Toss over syllables
making a fool of me
why can't I shut up
just let conversation be
 
I have nothing to offer
nothing of substance
the words fall out
speaking nothing but nonsense
 
I spit gibberish
show my stupidity
watch as they laugh
I cry over my insecurity
 
 
Stay Dark Forever

Look at the stars
wrap around me
tuck my heart in
to warmth and safety

Hold me under the moon
tell me you love me
help push out the pain
of days I spent lonely

Sway with me
until the song is done
make me feel like
I'm the only one

Kiss me all night
never let me go
if the morning comes
we don't want to know


Waterfall

I can feel the water rushing
falling all over our body
our hair dripping wet
your lips splashing against me

Water drops slide down
splash against our face
the rushing water swarms us
tightening our held embrace

I can hear the slashing of the water
in tune with our tongue and lip
water seeping in our tangled bodies
our hands lock into passionate grip

I can hear the crash of water
as you crash your thrust into me
the world is our stranger
there's no apprehension or insecurity

We wrap our bodies around
water falls between our toe
our bodies form a rhythm
in harmony with the water flow

The thrashing of the water
covers up my pleasure filled call
wet skin against wet skin
making love under the waterfall



Waiting For You

It's been two days
since I seen your face
it feels like years
since I was in your embrace

I look out the window
longing for you
I feel empty
knowing I can't run to you

I watch the clock tick
wishing hours flew by
tissues surrounds me
from drying my eye

Time can't pass soon enough
what am I to do
There's only me and time
sitting and waiting for you



You Made Me Forget

You make me forget
pain I carried for years
you are the sand bag
to my flood of tears

You are my sunshine
to my dull and dreary day
you are the wind
that swept my heart away

You are the one liner
that makes me laugh through trauma
The calming voice
through constant drama

You are the smile
my face shines everyday
You are the love
that took my unhappiness away



Time To Move On

I thought about you today
it had been a little while
but instead of my usual tears
I found myself with a soft smile

I visited you for awhile
thought of all our memory
the normal hysteria I had faced
has today skipped over me

The traumatic pictures were there
but slipped away quickly
replaced by your smiling word
and the love you had given me

Your memory is still with me
the horrible pictures will never be gone
but I have found that special someone
who makes me want to move on


Dreams Of You

I wait for you patiently
wrapped in soft skin and lace
I want to feel your passion
running down my teared face

You'll wrap me in your arms
smash together cheek to cheek
kisses will fall on my neck
passion in my veins will make me weak

You'll slowly remove my layer
leaving me bare to your skin
wrapping me in your flesh
until now, a place I had never been

My eyes suddenly jolt awake
you are not standing there
no lace or touch of your skin
I'm only wrapped in silent air


Still Alone

Laying in bed cold
without you here to touch
can't make myself eat
don't sleep too much

My eyes are open
what's the point today
you're not here
to take my pain away

Why get dressed
no one to impress
no make up for me
leave my hair a mess

There's no reason
to follow the day through
it just seems so empty
when I can't share it with you



Enough Is Enough

I'm sorry
I gave up
here's your tools
your Nascar cup

I'm sorry
I gave in
here's your razor
the case it came in

I'm sorry
for my weakness
here's the keys
I wont let you take less

I'm sorry
take all your stuff
we're filled with hurt
it's time to say enough



Stay Or Go

Do I stay
or just let it go
there seems no point
none that I know

Times changed
you did too
I don't really know
the real you

I'm the same
always have been
but with you now
I don't know where I'm standin

I can't change this
why even try
are they right
should I say good-bye



Times They Are A Changing

Would I still be a friend
if I got up and walked away
I would be doing it for the best
we'll never get back our glory day

People change and grow
never really had anything in common
do we really gain from this
or what had ever been

Are we hanging on
to something that wasn't there
we both needed something
to show us we could still care

Now we have what we need
both in very different way
we'll realize we don't need each other
if we walk on, we'll be okay


Dear Friend

It's the same face
different word from your lip
I don't understand this
your morals fell from your grip

Don't get me wrong
I'm not judging you
you seemed to want more
guess it fell through

Times were lonely
needed something to hang onto
but now bad fortune
is pointing its finger at you

It's your life
be what you want to be
but I wont watch self destruction
fall in front of me


Don't You Cry Forever

Don't cry
I'm here baby
it's all okay
we'll soon be free

Don't you cry
we're almost there
see my trust
believe in my stare

Don't cry
it's you and me
this uncertainty
will soon be a memory

Don't you cry
we'll soon be together
hang on to me
soon it will be forever


Peace In Me Is You

Somewhere past the madness
there is peace for me
waiting for my arrival
I would run impatiently

I've seen it in the distance
once or twice before
I never had it in my hand
never felt it in my body core

I never thought I'd find it
so I stopped and didn't try
but then it fell before me
when I looked into your eye

I have my shelter
my safe place to run to
there is peace in my soul
and it is because of you


You Could, If You Wanted

I'm open
vulnerable to you
take advantage
if you want to

I love you
there it's said
abuse it
take my bed

I want you
feel so high
another notch
so you can say good-bye

I need you
I let you in
add me to your list of
where you've been


Trapped

I feel weakened
and clearly exposed
you opened my heart
that was purposely closed

I'm a little scared
not used to this
denial and brick walls
were such sweet bliss

I'm open
you can hurt me now
you crept in slowly
yet I don't know how

I'm in love
you walked right in
now I'm closing the door
you are now trapped in



Simply Love Me

You hold me when I cry
shelter my teary storm
you see my lips shiver
you rush to keep me warm

You tuck me in at night
makes sure I'm sleeping safely
any sudden movement or noise
you turn to cuddle me

You lay your encouraging word
when my heart feels the fear
when my hands start shaking
you pull my body near

You touch my hand softly
chasing away my insecurity
and when I start to waiver
you simply say you love me


Peace

Show me the way
to a land of no hurt
because I'm drowning
in my tear soaked shirt

Lead me to dry land
where soil is pain free
I want to feel peaceful grass
beneath the feet of me

Walk me to water
let me shower in tranquillity
hang out the pain
let peace drip onto me

Guide me to fairy tale
where hurt is never in display
let me live in fantasy
take all this hurt away


I Want Forever

Show me love
when you hold my hand
hand me forever
with our wedding band

Show me love
when you caress my face
promise forever
in your embrace

Show me love
when we kiss
show me forever
in our body bliss

Show me love
when you gaze into my eye
give me forever
never say good-bye


Come To Me Tonight

I can't put into words
how you make me feel
that's how I know
our love is real

No words can describe
the way I love you
how I think of you every minute
can't stand to be away from you

There are no syllables
to express my deep desire
the constant want and need
for your touch of fire

There is no rhyme
to express my deep love for you
come to me tonight
let me show you


There Was No You

No peeking in
no word of hello
no smiling face
before I have to go

Didn't hear your voice
no secret pinky swear
it just wasn't the same
with you not there

No stolen touches
no meeting of our eyes
no secret rendezvous
or I love you's in disguise

Time seem to stand still
nothing to look forward to
the day dragged on forever
because I didn't have you


Baby, Call Me

I need a word
something to hold onto
give me just a piece
to help me get through

Ring my phone
say you're okay
tell me you're fine
you're just busy today

Leave me a message
no matter what you say
I don't care the words
just keep my fear at bay

Reach out to me
we don't have to talk deep
my heart is scared
stop my feared weep


Barely Breathing

My head is full
only visions of you
my heart hurts
six more days to go through

My eyes are dreary
you're nowhere in sight
too many hours to go
I see no shining light

My skin is bare
no touch has been laid upon
and the taste of your kisses
have long since been gone

My heart is heavy
beating sad and lonely
I wont breathe again
until you are here with me




Words Don't Describe

They say love
can't be expressed in word
they say it's true
or so I have heard

Never believed it
I thought it would pour from me
but now that love has struck
I have to say I agree

The love is in me
I know it to be true
my heart has fallen
madly in love with you

They say words
can't truly explain how you feel
if the syllables don't come
than you know love is real


Find Your Way To Me

Hold me close and tightly
whisper sweet nothings in my ear
I try to feel your breath
to make me believe you're here

Place your hand on me
caress my heated skin
whatever it takes to make me believe
the dream I'm standing in

Kiss my shivering lip
let me smother your taste
stay glued for minutes
don't let the fantasy go to waste

Make passionate love to me
crash into my trembling body
make this fantasy become real
find your way back to me


Treasured Night

We sat huddled together
lit by the moonlight
made love under the stars
then talked the whole night

We picked out a star
placed our name on it
swore on the midnight blue
that tonight we'd never forget

We laid upon our chest
listen to each other's heartbeat
started to shiver in morning dew
we covered each other in body heat

We gazed at each other
in the morning light
said our I love you's
holding on to our treasured night


Empty World

I'd wake up
nothing to do
no sweet smiles
there's no you

Walk out the door
no hand to hold
sit alone on the porch
no I love you told

I'd walk lonely
down dark pathway
nothing to see
no point today

I'd go to bed alone
no hot bodies hurled
without you
it's an empty world


No Life

The world is colorless
when I'm without you
there's no spark
no magic to hold onto

The trees are dead
no leaves falling on my skin
without you here
there's no shade to stand in

The flowers are wilted
bent over as I walk by slowly
without your hand in mine
there's no beauty to see

There's no sun in the sky
the light is dim and blue
life is plain and dark
when I'm not standing with you


Hide Out

Weary days
pass me by
pile the hours
as I cry

I sit alone
waiting for you
loneliness fights
its way through

Heart beats faster
my anger grows
I'm in pain
no one knows

Sad and weak
nowhere to go
my heart is aching
I can't even let it show


Keep It On The Low

Be quiet
keep it low
my heart
can't let them know

Hold tears
keep them in
pretend the heat
isn't from his skin

Keep calm
keep up cheer
pretend it don't matter
if he is here

Play cool
keep a smile
play the charade
forget I love him for awhile


Angel In Disguise

I'm an angel
just a few naughty things
mend my devilish heart
fix my broken wings

I'm a princess
be my loving prince bond
help prevent me from
abusing my magic wand

I'm a sweetheart
love me true
keep me from breaking
the heart in you

I'm a saint
I do everything right
help keep the impure thoughts
from coming true tonight




Still Beating

I seen a picture of you today
I didn't get the sinking in my heart
my eyes didn't start to cry
I wasn't sad we were apart

I looked into your blue eyes
a little smile came to my face
my heart felt good, I fell in love
but no one has taken your place

My heart has plenty of room
many hearts have a spot in mine
I briefly visit times I thought I would die
but I fought hard and now I'm fine

I put your picture away
tucked it away safe and neat
I once thought I'd never breathe again
years gone by, I still feel my heart beat


What I Want To Do

There's nothing I'd rather do
than stay home home with you
sit by the fire
kindle our burning desire

There's nothing I'd rather do
than be in the arms of you
wrapped in love lust
hearing your words of trust

There's nothing I'd rather do
than be made love to by you
feeling passion erupt inside
passionate tears being cried

There's nothing I'd rather do
than be loved by you
safely wrapped in your skin
with something to believe in



Our Reason

You held me up
when I wanted to fall
jump started my heart
when it wanted to stall

You lit the candle
when I seen no light
you supplied the embrace
when I was alone at night

You gave me strength
when I wanted to quit
You took me away
when I just wanted to forget

You supplied the love
that helped me pull through
you gave me new reason
and the reason is you



The Flaw

I put myself in a hole
hiding away from reality
too afraid to peek out
and let someone see me

I curled into myself
self preservation the key
no one could hate
if they didn't know me

There was a flaw in my plan
something I didn't prepare for
and little by little my heart
couldn't hide itself anymore

I was forced out of my hole
I finally felt safe enough to
I was able to show the real me
to the beating heart in you
