My ghosts and monsters
They wake me every night Sharp teeth and bad breath Whispering your name I'm not quite lonely Feels more like scared to death Your memory haunts me When I put myself to bed I've been sleeping with the lights on Talking in my sleep And waking to an empty home I've been sleeping with the lights on Since you've been gone Bela Lugosi And Boris Karloff too Make such strange bedfellows But how to they know you They'll stay for hours They'll haunt me all night long Talk about you new love 'Til the crack of dawn I know you're not to blame For the shape I'm in It's the nature of the beast But how do I explain When it's time to love again The monsters are real |

Love is a hunger
That burns in my soul But you never notice the pain Love is an anchor That won't let me go I reach out to hold you But you push me away You always convince to stay And I wonder why We hold on with tears in your eyes And I wonder why We have to break down to just make things right And I wonder why I can't seem to tell you goodbye Yeah, I wonder why I'm no angel With my selfish pride But I love you more everyday Love is an anger That builds up inside As the tears of frustation Roll down my face Why does love always have to turn out this way I don't want to fight again tonight About the little things please baby I just want to find my way Back to love And I'll need you there, baby |

Written by Curtis Stigers and Barry Mann
Seen a light divine Seen water turn to wine Seen healing hands and walking on the water I've knelt in churches But that was all just fruitless searches For something to believe in And I thought I'd seen it all Chorus: But I never saw a miracle 'Til baby I found you I prayed I'd find my heaven Then all my prayers came true No, I never saw a miracle I was blind but now I see The miracle is the love you give to me Seen a flower bloom And a man walk on the moon But I never seemed to find sweet inspiration Seen the stars fall from the sky And heard a newborn baby cry And felt the warmth of human kindness 'Til the tears came to my eyes Chorus I've never been a winner And God knows I'm a sinner But I found my salvation in you Oh, I was lost until you found me Put your loving all around me Gave me back my faith And my strength to carry on And now, baby, I believe. Chrous These songs are from the self-titled Curtis Stigers CD. |

How can you blame me for
The way I never felt before and All the mistakes that I made It's just that I was so in love I couldn't keep you close enough I held too tight to the reins Can't keep a moment from passing by Love's not a thing that you own Oh I I guess it wasn't mine I didn't mean to lose the love It took so long to find I guess it wasn't mine I wore your heart upon my sleeve A prize for all the world to see A child's dream of soul possession The thought of ever letting go Was more than I could bear, you know I just thought of my protection Love is a gift that you give away It's not a thing that you own I could drive myself crazy Tear myself down But things will be different Next time |

I'm choking back the anger
As I'm hanging up the phone You just called to let me know You're doing fine Another civil conversation I never raised my voice I just bit my tongue And swallowed my pride But as angry as I am I'll never let you see 'Cause there's always the chance You'll come back to me Nobody loves you like I do It's a lonely life you're living Though you never would admit It's not easy loving More than just one man You've got lovers at the office And boyfriends on the coast And a friend Who's just a casual thing The grass is always greener 'Til you reach the other side You'll search and you'll search But in time you'll find That nobody loves you like I do Nobody, baby Nobody loves you like I do I wish you'd tell me where I went wrong How could you walk out on me? Now, all I have are these telephone calls Where I never say exactly how I feel Nobody loves you like I do Well, there's never been a moment Since the day you walked out That I haven't felt The pain of losing you But every time you call me I just say that I'm alright I never let the loneliness Shine through But if you ever get the feeling That you want to settle down Just call out my name and I'll be around Oh, nobody loves you like I do Nobody, baby, nobody loves you like I do Nobody, nobody loves you like I do No, no, no, no, no, nobody Nobody can do the the dirt like I do Nobody, nobody, baby No, no, no, right, no, no, nobody Nobody loves you like I do, oh baby Nobody, nobody Nobody, baby Nobody loves you, nobody loves you like I do Nobody loves you like I do No, no |

There's bills to pay and planes to catch
And my socks just never seem to match But I'm alright And every night I lie awake And think I've taken all that I can take But I'm alright Just when I think that I'll break From all the bending I take The thought of you pulls me through And then I count my blessings Count up all my dreams come true I'm gonna count my blessings And when I count my blessings They all add up to you 2, 3, 4 1, 2, 3, 4 Every night the news is bad While the rich get richer and the poor get had But I'm alright And the threat of war is in the air While the wise men try to lead us there But I'm alright And just when all hope is lost Too many rivers to cross I come running to you I've got to count my blessings Count up all my dreams come true I'm gonna count my blessings And when I count my blessings They all add up to you 2, 3, 4 1, 2, 3, 4 1, 2, 3, 4 1, 2, 3, 4 Just when I think that I'll break From all the bending I take The thought of you pulls me through Count my blessings Count my blessings And just when all hope is lost Too many rivers to cross I come running to you I've got to count my blessings Count up all my dreams come true I'm gonna count my blessings And when I count my blessings They all add up to you Count my blessings And count up all my dreams come true I'm gonna count my blessings And when I count my blessings They all add up to you Count my blessings And count up all my dreams come true I'm gonna count my blessings And when I count my blessings They all add up to you |

The first time I said goodbye, I thought I'd lost my heaven
And so I came running back to you And I made a vow to myself, I'd never lose you again The first time I said goodbye The first time you broke my heart, I never saw it coming I was as blind as a fool in love can be, yeah And I made a vow to myself, you'd never hurt me again The first time you broke my heart Hey, wait a minute, baby, I'm always walking out that door, yeah I stand the pain for a little while and then come running back for more So this is it, baby, yet another sad farewell I can't stand to live without you, baby, but living with you is a living hell The last time I said goodbye, you told me go and good riddance Knowing that I'd come back to you But I made a vow to myself, I'd never go back again The last time I said goodbye The last time, the last time, the last time The last time I said goodbye, goodbye |
