Adam's Rib 03:37
Once upon a time I was just a little bone I was just a little tiny rib And the rib cage was my home Somedays I'd wonder how it would feel To be my own person To eat my own meals I never had to make a plan Just be a little piece of a bigger man And Adam rocked my world I was his biggest fan No such thing as being a girl He had the whole world in his hands Now that was the life No worries, no pain Just stay in my place And grow a little more each day I never had to make a plan Just be a little piece of a bigger man And Adam rocked my world I was his biggest fan No such thing as being a girl He had the whole world in his hands Then I started to wonder What's this spell I might be under It's time to break away It's time to feed this hunger Never had to take a stand Just be a little piece of a bigger man And Adam rocked my world I was his biggest fan No such thing as being a girl He had the whole world in his hands

Maybe it scares you Maybe it makes you cry Maybe it reminds you of all that you deny To see the good You never would Without the ugly There is no beautiful Without the ugly There is no beautiful Walk down the street And I turn my blind eye I don't want to meet The parts of myself I might find To see the good You never would Without the ugly There is no beautiful Without the ugly There is no beautiful So Venus tries To sympathize We make her look so good As kind is to cruel As bitter is to sweet This life has a rule That the two must somehow meet To see the good You never would Without the ugly There is no beautiful Without the ugly There is no beautiful

How did I think it would be Maybe like a tv show Half hour episodes to solve everything and make you absolutely happy Absolutely happy Now I've made you cry Never see it coming Always takes me by surprise that I don't make you absolutely happy, Sure gonna try to make you absolutely happy And why should I I'm as mixed up as the next guy And how could I I'm just a woman who wants to be here by your side Wipe those tears away 'cause they'll be here again before we know it Just have one thing to say that I will never make you absolutely happy, I'm sure gonna try to make you absolutely happy, But I know I'll never make you absolutely happy, Still I'll try to make you absolutely happy

So dear to me Always keep me company Who needs to go outside I will be your silent bride I can't take my eyes off you Nothing ever needs to be said You send your message right into my head You fill me up when I'm alone So soothing is your monotone I can't take my eyes off you I can't take my eyes off you So maybe you're not as real as the others But I choose you over all my past lovers For they have come and they have gone but I can always turn you on I can't take my eyes off you I can't take my eyes off you

I cry up to the man in the moon He's the only one can help me now I bought the line that as long as I tried I could not leave empty handed But I've done all I can do And now I leave it up to you I'm waiting for the tide to turn Waiting for the tide to turn Waiting, waiting for the tide to take me To take me away Goodnight moon I should be talkin' to Neptune He's the one who will teach me patience For whoever rules the sea Is now the ruler over me I'm waiting for the tide to turn Waiting for the tide to turn Waiting, waiting for the tide to take me... So I have proved Some things can't be moved And here I wait But my faith is weak And the water's creeping up to my chin I am waiting for the tide to turn Waiting for the tide to turn Waiting, waiting for the tide To take me away...

Good Gifts 03:04
Good gifts of love Good gifts you hand me down From your first touch To my wedding gown Do you even know What you've given me Do you even see That you are wisdom You are wisdom to me My song, my soul You gave so easily I'll not forget These gifts to me We say goodbye But we are not alone Here with me still My heart, my home Do you even know What you've given me Do you even see That you are wisdom You are wisdom to me My song, my soul You gave so easily I'll not forget These gifts to me I'll not forget These gifts to me
