Rodeo 03:53
Beautiful creature Passionate and untamed Staring fervently at me Your eyes dare me Step to the challenge Screaming Come and have a ride on me Excitement, danger it's all there I want it and I won't give in to the fear I do not care what's in store Climb into the saddle let you take control And I'm living my life just like a rodeo With the wind in my face and my hair blowing free You've made my life this rodeo The only challenge yet to rival me And I never wanted to tame your streak I know no tether could keep you I just want to match your stride Throw my head back and enjoy the ride So give it to me rough, make it interesting Give me all you've got just try to lose I'm holding on for life I don't want to be thrown This saddle feels right and I'm never going home And I'm living my life just like a rodeo With the wind in my face and my hair blowing free You've made my life this rodeo The only challenge yet to rival me And here come the clowns They see I've fallen down And now they're trying to keep me From my unfaithful steed But now my life is this rodeo I will climb back on, I can take the heat You've made my life this rodeo Go on writhe and flail you won't phase me Yes my life is this rodeo With you between my thighs and the dust in my eyes You've made my life this rodeo Every movement you make a surprise

Little Flame 04:32
I am slipping, sliding, spinning round, falling down I am scrunching, stretching, shaking, waiting I am lowering myself to the ground twisting, turning, writhing, craving You love me while I am the one you're with you love me while somebody waits at home You love me thoroughly and without shame Then easily leave me all alone Cause I'm not the inspiration, I'm just a passing desire I'm not the congregation, I'm just a member of the choir I'm not the final prize, I'm just a part of the game and I am not the blazing fire I'm just a little flame I was spellbound by your fancy words I got caught with my libido rising dived right into the cold wet ocean instead of making sure the water was inviting Tell me what she does that I can't do I'd like to know what makes her so amazing What do I lack that makes me only good enough to... And what do I have that brings you here in the first place Tell me why I'm not the inspiration, I'm just a passing desire I’m not the congregation, I'm just a member of the choir I'm not the final prize, I'm just a part of the game and I am not the blazing fire I'm just a little flame Wait, come on now, stop I know it's not going to be me in the end Oh no, Cause I'm just a passing desire A lowly member of the choir I'm not the final prize, I'm just a part of the game and I am not the blazing fire I’m just a little flame I’m just a little flame I’m just a little flame

Return to Me 03:50
Oh my love, it's been a long time And I know it's been a hard time But don't give up now it's not the right time Just keep in mind, you must Return to Me My love, I will forgive you And I know you've done the same for me And I'd give all I own to convince you So keep in your mind this one thing - you must Return to me My love, I'm always with you Even when you can't see And soon I will be near you So please keep it in your memory to Return to me You must return to me

Had to Go 03:32
She never knew, she never knew Or they would have been together If she knew he loved her There would have been more time And before his parents ripped him from her arms There could have been a few more moments behind the school And this first love could have been true love But he had to go He looked for years, he looked for years With never any whisper And she wondered all that time If he was ever real So when he found her One in a million through a song He hesitated But he couldn't wait for long And this first love could have been true love But he had to go And she was taken by surprise He came from nowhere With stories of how he had missed her and thought of her All this time And she believed, yes she believed That they should be together It wouldn't be right to ignore the signs And finding her had saved his life But he had to confess he had a family and a wife And this first love could have been true love Yes maybe it would have been true love But he had to go

Ooh Ah 04:26
As he strikes out at me with one in a million of his harsh words You can see me stumble but obey Cuz I don’t know what to say And I don’t why she bothers to flash me that fake smile Cuz I can see the grimace as she turns away And this of kindness is killing me a little more each day And I just don’t know what to say So I say ooh ah ooh ah ooh Oh yes I love you too Ooh ah ooh ah ooh I know you didn’t say it but I do And I don’t understand why you don’t still feel me I’m still living here still breathing this same air And someone once told me to expect violence and jealousy and self seeking everyday Oh yes, what a lovely way So I say ooh ah ooh ah ooh Oh yes I love you too Ooh ah ooh ah ooh I know you didn’t say it but I do And lately I’m feeling so dark I wanna go home with the first stranger that I see Never know his face or his name And I wanna find a man in the farthest corner of the darkest bar Let him stick the needle in my arm and then he can make me fly And then I will know that I’m alive Yes I will know that I’m alive So I say ooh ah ooh ah ooh Oh yes I love you too Ooh ah ooh ah ooh I know I know you’ll never say it And yes I know it’s tragic but I do And this lack of anything is killing me It’s killing me a little more each day I don’t understand why you never did feel me I’ve been living here Right next to you for years

I should be going now I've been insulted for today I'm really tired And it was time to go anyway But don't worry I'll be back for more Don't worry I'm not keeping score Don't worry if you were About my feelings because you're One drop of rain in the ocean of me One little droplet in my raging sea One tiny speck on my window pane All you are is one drop of rain You're feeling bad now I see And thanks for wanting to extend that to me Thanks for making me feel like I'm less than I am I had some ego to kill But don't worry if you offend Don't worry I'll still give in Don't worry about saying too much It doesn't matter 'Cause you're just One drop of rain in the ocean of me One little droplet in my raging sea One tiny speck on my window pane All you are is one drop of rain And I'm sorry But we've reached the end I can't sacrifice myself again For one drop of rain in the ocean of me One little droplet in my raging sea One tiny speck on my window pane One insignificant drop of rain One drop of rain in the ocean of me One little droplet in my raging sea One tiny speck on my window pane All you are is one drop of rain

I'm not a believer And I'm not an angel I guess I am a sinner And you treat me like a stranger Saying you can't know me without god in my heart I thought god was about love and not tearing people apart You may think I'm unholy But I'm really pretty pure I've always been the good girl but now I'm not so sure Because you say you love me just not my pagan ways Maybe I could keep you around if I'd just let myself be saved Because you run from me To protect what you believe Your mother says it's the only way Find a girl with whom you can pray It doesn't matter what we feel If we don't have the same ideals Your god forbids you to stoop to my level 'Cause you're so blessed and I'm the devil You pick and choose what you call sin Your carnal knowledge of me was okay When you thought that I'd let Jesus in But isn't that what they call hypocrisy When you can stand there looking chaste After you've had your way with me Because you run from me To protect what you believe Your mother says it's the only way Find a girl with whom you can pray It doesn't matter how we feel If we don't have the same ideals Your god forbids you to stoop to my level 'Cause you're so blessed and I'm the devil But what if you die And you were wrong And god didn't care about the dogma And all those praise and worship songs Yeah what if you're wrong And all he wanted was for you to be nice Do you think he'd like the way you treated me If he didn't give a damn for sacrifice But go on run from me Protect what you believe Your mother says it's the only way Find a girl with whom you can pray It doesn't matter how we feel We don't have the same ideals Oh your god forbids you to stoop to my level 'Cause I'm the devil I'm the devil

Don't give me that Stop trying to make me feel bad You've made your bed And I don't want to lay there anymore No I don't want to stay here anymore And I'm tired of having to hide I'm tired of having lie I'm tired of having to run Maybe it could have been great Maybe it could have been love Maybe it could have been fun But this is not the way it works At least not in my world Don't want to live in the shadows I'm a creature of the sun I wasn't meant to be the other one I can feel your guilt It's trying to burn a hole right through me And you know how I feel Yet here you are still trying to use me to eliminate your fear Well that's not why I'm here And I'm tired of having to hide I'm tired of having lie I'm tired of having to run Maybe it could have been great Maybe it could have been love Maybe it could have been fun But this is not the way it works At least not in my world Don't want to live in the shadows I'm a creature of the sun I wasn't meant to be the other one And even though you know how I feel You're still trying to convince me to stay But I'm sorry the damage is done And I can't believe in this thing anymore There've been too many lies that I've told and been told And I'm tired of having to hide I'm tired of having lie I'm tired of having to run Maybe it could have been great Maybe it could have been love Maybe it could have been fun But this is not the way it works At least not in my world Don't want to live in the shadows I'm a creature of the sun I wasn't meant to be the other one So just go home And leave me alone

Fooled Me 04:54
Pinned to the floor Wanting more But struggling to get away Half afraid and half finally alive Either way I'm not sure I'll survive this foray It's my fantasy playing out I'm ashamed and tempted With every move you create different doubt and it gets more demented You're way too close to discovering the key With your beautiful lies that so easy and free Your body's so near and I want you to stay with me But I'm asking you to leave Because you've almost fooled me Please don't make me sin Even though you know I want to give in Because I know that you're going to have to go So it's no use to pretend Yes I know that I'm not pure and that we've been here before And I know my struggles just feed you more You're way too close to discovering the key With your beautiful lies that sound so easy and free Your body's so near and I want you to stay with me But I'm asking you to leave Because you've almost fooled me So I'm doomed to be miserable tonight Whether or not I win or lose this fight You're way too close to discovering the key With your beautiful lies you make sound so easy and free Your body's so near and I want you to stay with me But I'm asking you to leave And this is not what I want to be So I'm asking you to leave
