Holy moly, when did you walk in?
I haven't seen you in a long while
You're looking good, a little too good
You always had that million dollar smile
Yeah I've been fine, been working real hard
Slow and steady everything's been coming round
Got a new guy, got me a new car
I made some changes after you left town

Here you are baby kicking up dust
Kicking up some feelings I don't trust
Thought I was over you, thought I was free
But now I see that I didn't get away clean
You got me thinking 'bout us
Cause you're kicking up baby kicking up yeah
Kicking up dust

What are you doing, standing so close?
Smelling as good as you did back then
That was one long hot summer
Sky blue sheets under the ceiling fan
Swampy blues always playing
Everything outside just seemed to melt away
And we moved in slow motion
What's that you're asking - dinner Saturday?

Repeat Chorus

Steamy spicy sticky stuff
We had that kind of dirty love
But you took off and it was rough
Oh, what a mess I mopped it up
Made it through but it was tough, and I thought I had, had enough

Repeat Chorus

Zanna Songs

Tonight I'll spend every waking moment
Crying over you, that's what lovers do
For a little while...
Tomorrow I'll be ready to face a brand new day
And I'll find some one, I'll know him when he smiles
I'll wipe away and trace of you
I've got left in my heart
I'll have a brand new love to hold me
No I won't fall apart

I won't be lonely long tomorrow I'll find
Somebody new that will just blow my mind
In no time at all I'll be over you
Yeah I'm moving on
No I won't be lonely long

There's no way I can avoid running into you
It's a little town, I know I'll see you around
I promise I won't lose it when I do bump into you
It won't get me down
When you see me out somewhere I won't be alone
Today you're throwing me away and I won't be lonely long

Repeat Chorus

This conversation is going no where fast
Like a train on a dead end track
There’s no where left to go
Now I don’t really want to drag this out
If your gonna say it, Say it now
No need to take it slow
We both know it’s over I don’t need a shoulder
Oooohhh baby

Lets just say goodbye Leave it at that
Instead of saying things we can’t take back
The more we talk the harder it is to really let go
You couldn’t fix it even if you tried
So go on and let me cry
You said you’re leaving
Leave it at that

Don’t even try to let me down easy
It’s pretty clear you don’t need me
Like you did before
What’s so hard about the word goodbye
When I already see it in your eyes
So what you waiting for
Only time can mend this why don’t we just end it
Ooooh baby

Repeat Chorus

- Musical Instrumental -

Lets just say goodbye Leave it at that
Instead of saying things we can’t take back
The more we talk the harder it is to really let go
You couldn’t fix it even if you tried
So go on and let me cry you said you’re leaving
You said you’re leaving...... leave it at that.

We'd like to get a little more serious
I hear a capital U when you say the word us
But boy you might be rushing things
there's another side of me or 2 or 3 you ain't seen yet
I know you think you've got your mind made up
But you've ain't seen me in curlers, no make up
Stand'in on the porch annoyed, cuss'in at the paperboy
For throw'in it in the bushes again

Yeah, tell me how you're gonna feel about me
When I come home cry'in and I've ain't had time to shave my legs in 2 weeks
And I ain't say'in I don't want you to love me
I'm just talk'in about the good, the bad and the ugly.

Well you think you're already to meet my folks
We my Daddy's gonna tell at least a million bad jokes,
While mama searches thru her purse looking for a bible verse
Go'in to hell or worse if we don't wait
And Cousin Sue bless her heart she ain't all there
Aunt Marie hates democrats and long hair
Then we get to Uncle Joe, made it on the morning show
Taught his favorite billy-goat to sing Amazing Grace.

Yeah, tell me how you're gonna feel about me, when mama decides that you're all right
And starts pick'in out names for babies
Yeah, ya gotta learn to love the ones who love me
Each and every one, the good, the bad and the ugly

Now before you decide there's one more side of me you've ain't seen yet
And I ain't sure but it's yours and mine and Victoria's little secret.....
Well? Do you like?.........I thought you would

Yeah..if that's all right then love me, love me, love me
just as long as you can handle the good, the good, the bad and the ugly.
Yeah, Yeah, the good, the bad and the ugly
Repeat line.

I'm ly'in here all alone
Content to know he's finally gone
He's out of my hair, out of my head
Out of my life, out of my bed
And I know longer listen for the key in the door
I'm far better off than I was before

Truth is I'm ly'in
Trying to convince myself I'm better off alone
I like it that he's gone, but I'm still lying
Cause honestly my heart can't stand the thought of mov'in on
Til I can face the truth, I'll keep on ly'in

I couldn't care less about who he's with
Or where he goes, or where he lives
No more walking on egg shells or walking the line
No more walking the floors, that suits me fine
And his clothes are gone from my bedroom chair
It's almost like he was never there

Repeat Chorus

I put a smile on my face tell all my friends I'm fine
Anyone that knows me well they can tell that I'm ly'in

Truth is I'm ly'in
Trying to convince myself I'm better off alone
I like it that he's gone, but I'm still lying
Cause honestly my heart can't stand the thought of mov'in on
Til I can face the truth, I'll keep on ly'in

We do breakfast every morning
We cuddle every night
We do laundry on the weekends and sometimes we fight
About life, about a love, about real grown-up things
Seems all that's really missing is a diamond ring.

Shack'in up ain't enough, it might be fun but when it's done
We'll wake up and we're just play'in house, mess'in round
I just can't ignore the fact I might want more than that
Shack'in Up.

I hate to bring it up, but ain't it obvious?
You're still you, I'm still me, we're not officially "Us"
We're just a notch or 2 or 10 above your basic fling
We upped and fell in love and messed up everything

Repeat Chorus

I don't want to scare you baby, but it's my way of say'in I Love You
I was thinking we could, maybe baby, just let love do what it wants to.

- Musical Bridge -

Shack'in up ain't enough, it might be fun but when it's done
We'll wake up and we're just play'in house, mess'in round
I just can't ignore the fact I might want more than that Shack'in Up
I just can't ignore the fact, yes girls want more than that Shack'in Up
Shack'in Up

I grew up in church on the very last row
I know how to pray but I can still dosy-doe
I might be from the country, but I ain't no southern bell
Sometimes I'm heaven's little angel but
I'm not afraid to raise a little hell

I like livin it up on Saturday nights and dancing in my high-heel shoes
I love being bear foot wearing my baby's jersey watching football on Sunday afternoons
I can sip fine wine in my little black dress or a beer in my favorite jeans
I'm not your redneck woman or a perfect Barbie doll queen
I'm smack-dab in the middle ~ somewhere in between

I can find a good bargain at the Dollar Tree
But I'll splurge now and then on some fancy new earrings
I can change an old bald tire in 4 minutes flat
And still paint my nails after a 2-hour bath.

Repeat Chorus

What was I thinking when it all began
Falling in love with a married man
You said that you would leave her
And it would take some time
Now I'm finding out, I'm the one left behind

I've been a fool to keep on hanging on
You've kept me dangling now for way too long
Well, maybe we were wrong but that doesn't make it right
Cause you're still going home to her every night.

I should have known better than to fall for a man already taken
I was mistaken, and it cost me my heart
I should have known better, than to ever
Think things were gonna work out somehow
Well I know better now

I'll take the blame for all the damage done
I took a chance, now I'm the lonely one
I'm letting go of all the dreams I had for us
Now if I could just forget how good it really was

Repeat Chorus

Well, I swear I've learned my lesson
One I'll remember all my life
It's not as if I didn't know
You already had a wife.

I should have known better than to fall for a man already taken
I was mistaken, and it cost me my heart
I should have known better, than to ever
Think things were gonna work out somehow
Well I know better now
I know better now

No more making any snap decisions
From now on I'm thinking everything thru
No more falling for your sweet persuasions
No more telling me what I'm gonna do
Up till now every thing been your way
Now it's up to me if I'm gonna have a say
And I'm not sure you're the kind of man
I'm wanting for the rest of my life

I don't need to have your opinion
I've got a mind of my own
It's my life it's not open to discussion
I'll decide all alone
If I'm wrong it's my mistake I'm making
Either way I'll be fine
I'm taking my time
Making up my mind.

You'll have to wait until I give you're an answer
Save your breath don't even try to persuade
Don't try and tell me you'll be happy ever after
When it's a power struggle each and every day
If this is as good as it gets
This is not what I call happiness
There's no need for you to try and control me
I won't live under your thumb

Repeat Chorus

He’ll come home late again
I’ll pretend to be sleeping
The way I’ve done so many times before
Over morning coffee, he’ll start lying to me
But I don’t want to hear his stories anymore
He’s gonna wake up and find
That somewhere in the night

I went sleep, sleep walkin’,
I’ll be long gone by the time he awakes
Pack my things in the trunk of my car
Got some money, got a credit card
I know with every step I take
I’ll be sleep, sleep walkin’ away

Wait til the time is right
When he’s out like a light
That’s when my feet will hit the floor
I feel my way around; I will not make a sound
Freedoms on the other side of that door
He never thought I would leave
Not in his wildest dreams

Repeat Chorus

Sleep…..Sleep……Sleep walkin’ away
Sleep, sleep, sleep walkin,

Sleep, sleep walkin,
I’ll be long gone by the time he awakes
Pack my things in the trunk of my car
Got some money, got a credit card
I know with every step I take
I’ll be sleep, sleep walkin’ away

~Musical Bridge~

Oh I, Pack my things in the trunk of my car
Got some money, got a credit card
I know with every step I take
I’ll be sleep, sleep walkin’
sleep, sleep walkin’
I’ll be long gone by the time he awakes
Pack my things in the trunk of my car
Got some money, got a credit card
I know with every step I take
I’ll be sleep, sleep walkin’ away
