When someone says one thing and does another It almost seems there's nothing you can do Except try and try to make it better And wonder why you do the things that you do So I try and I try to make it better By always being there and staying true But a person's heart and soul is one that's tender And you know it's always your mind that'll choose Well I know it's a shame and I tried to play the game When I didn't know what else to do And when push comes to shove I always rise above But this time I'm battered and bruised What a shame, what a shame you can't remember That it's your intentions and not your inventions that define you Who's to blame, who's to blame when one surrenders And figures out why, who becomes who If it's a phone call that you want, I'm your operator And I'll be your chef if food is your necessity If it's a letter that you need, I'll be your sender And you know I'll be the captain of your ship should you sail out to sea Well I know it's a shame and I tried to play the game When I didn't know what else to do And when push comes to shove I always rise above But this time I'm battered and bruised Well I know it's a shame and I tried to play the game When I didn't know what else to do And when push comes to shove I always rise above But this time I'm battered and bruised (Nick Losito)

Waiting outside your door on a cold snowy night It's been two days since we had our last fight Don't know if you're ever coming back But I'll be here to get us back on track Back on track, well, let's talk about me and you, babe Back on track, I'll forget about the things you do, babe Back on track, no, our love is not the best, but I'm too scared to try the rest Too scared to try the rest, too scared to try the rest Then I'm thinking, what if they're all just like you And is it worth after what you put me through You pull up in your old Pontiac Say you wanna get things back on track Back on track, well, let's talk about me and you, babe Back on track, I'll forget about the things you do, babe Back on track, no, our love is not the best, but I'm too scared to try the rest Too scared to try the rest, too scared to try the rest Then you tell me that I'm easily replaced And you go and put your hands around my waist I tell you I ain't nobody fall back Just forget about getting back on track Back on track, yeah, let's talk about me and you, babe Back on track, no I won't forget the things you do, babe Back on track, well I'm leaving you for good Embracing my livelihood, embracing my livelihood, I'll embrace my livelihood (Sarah Cutler, Nick Losito)

Winter Blues 04:07
Finally the days are getting longer Finally the days are getting longer I was starting to think this winter had a hold on me I really wish that all this shit would blow away in the breeze Daytime sky is crying just for some sun Daytime sky is crying just for some sun Longer days, longer days please Heard on that radio the clocks'll chase in a couple of weeks There is no prediction for the situation There is no prediction for the situation Wonder how long 'til my boots will stay dry Wonder how long 'til I see that summer night time sky (Nick Losito)

Don't tell me to smile, yeah I'll be happy in a while When you're 500 miles away from me Well, I'd put you on a plane and fly you far away So you go away and leave me be Well, I was walking home the other day after a long shift at work When this guy starts walking towards me with a smug little smirk He says "hey, you ever think about putting a smile on that pretty face?" And well, as you might imagine, I was not impressed You don't think it could be worse, I got a gun right in my purse I'll shoot you in the ass and then you'll scream You know that still it could be worse, you could be hog tied in a hearse And you know the devil ain't never gonna leave you be And do you wanna know what he said to me?! He told me to take it as a compliment I told him to take his compliment and shove it Then he called me a bitch, so I asked if he had some sort of death wish Then he looked at me with that ugly mug and said "girl, you're crazy" and I said "HA HA, yeah, maybe!" But at least I hold my own while you'll be crying all alone With your low down, good for nothing personality Yeah, maybe I'd suggest - quit showing Rosie on your chest And learn how to be a real man someway Don't tell me to smile, yeah I'll be happy in a while When you're 500 miles away from me Well, I'd put you on a plane and fly you far away So you go away and leave me be (Sarah Cutler, Jon Hanlon)

Your telephone calls They just make me sick And I'm about ready To give up on all of it The least that you could do Is spare me some of your time 'Cause I always end up feeling I'm At the end of the line Being with you is all I can do To get out of this lonesome town All I can say Is maybe someday I'll find out I don't love you, too Love you, too Yeah, you're got something Something over me It's some sort of feeling, lord That I only I can see It pushes and it pulls And it leaves me in the dirt Oh, I start to wonder Is love supposed to hurt Being with you Is all I can do To get out of this lonesome town All I can say Is maybe someday I'll find out I don't love you, too Love you, too Oh, here it comes Just another day Of you yellin' at me I'm always in your way Tellin' me lies And holdin' me so tight Acting like it's not your fault You'd never start a fight Being with you Is all I can do To get out of this lonesome town All I can say Is maybe someday I'll find a love who loves me, too Loves me, too (Sarah Cutler)
