CAN’T GET OVER YOU (MY MUSE)
I was thinkin’ about you last night
About how I screwed you over
And if you were alright
And it’s true you were always mine to lose
And I can’t get over you
I guess I owe you an apology
Everybody
Everybody saw it but me
And it’s true I got nothin’ left to prove
But I can’t get over you
You came in like a lion
You went out like a lamb
I guess you’re just that kind of girl
And I’m just that kind of man
That can’t get over you
I guess maybe I will see you around
This Christmas when I’ll be back in town
And it’s true you have always been my muse
And I can’t get over you

ANNIE
Sunday mornin’ and I’m leavin’
Could you do a little somethin’ before I go
And it’s true I’m a heathen
I know
Annie say a little prayer for me
I’m tired and I’m hungry
Out here in the street
Annie say a little prayer for me
Monday afternoon and I’m almost gone
I don’t know how long a man with no home
Can hold on
I just don’t know
Annie say a little prayer for me
I’m drunk and I’m dirty
And I’m falling at your feet
Annie say a little prayer for me
When so many people want to be right
Annie just wants to get right
It’s Tuesday night now and God only knows
The reasons were all here for
Maybe it’s like Jesus told us
Give your blessings to the poor
Annie say a little prayer for me

Wastin' Mine

WASTIN’ MINE
I know what’s goin’ on here
Though the words you say ain’t comin’ in clear
Your love left a long time ago
But you remain and your contempt grows
You’re bidin’ your time and wastin’ mine
Time flies and you’re wastin’ mine
You ought to give it some thought
Look at what you want and look what you got
Things change but people don’t
Why you say you will when you know you won’t
Words—schmords
I can feel it in my bones
Anyday now you’ll be up and gone
I know what’s goin’ on here
And it won’t be long I’ll find my solace in beer
Love only lasts as long as it does
And we can’t go back to the way that it was
Precious precious time
You’re wastin’ mine
Precious precious time
You’re wastin’ mine
Time flies
Time flies
Time flies
And you’re wastin’ mine

PURE POTENTIAL
There’s a longing in my soul
In my heart
There’s a hole
There’s an emptiness where my life used to be
And then you came and sat beside me
You are pure potential
You are next level
You are everything I need
You are living kindness
A breathing reminder
Of what a woman ought to be
The airport giveth
Giveth to us all
The airport taketh away
However many miles come between us
I know that I have seen us
On our wedding day
There’s a longing in your soul
In your heart
There’s a hole
There’s that guarded place very few can see
Then you came and sat beside me
I am pure potential
I am next level
I am everything you need
Some say why the bother
Because I remind you of your father
And what a man ought to be
We are pure potential
We are so next level
And we will always be
