She met him down at the laundry mat Three a.m. on a washing machine they sat And talked until dawn He bought her breakfast at a small caf??짤 Morning turned to the rest of the day Then the day was gone He thought that she'd surely run away A fairy tale never started this way, but
[Chorus:] It ain't the mind that calls the shots round here A stronger power's pulled to bodies near Nothing on Earth can interfere When love is what the heart wants
They made a wish on the evening star From a rooftop high above the boulevard Up in the twilight sky He held her hand, she held her breath Two lonely hearts beating scared to death Of a chance to fly Giving in to the arms of fate This isn't quite like the plans that they made, but
Baby please don't get too close to me Cause that ring you're wearin' Says that you're not free But if I said I didn't want ya Well you know I'd be a liar You better run while there's still time Cause I can't stop this fire I want you bad I can't help myself But you belong to someone else I'd leave you alone, darling, if I could But I want you bad and that ain't good
Baby please put away those ruby lips And those big blue eyes Are too hard to resist I'm not that kind of man Oh and usually I'm strong But it's gettin' hard to tell between What's right and what is wrong I want you bad I can't help myself, I want you bad girl that ain't good I want you bad bad bad that ain't good
O holy night The stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear Savior's birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining 'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees O hear the angel voices O night divine O night when Christ was born O night divine O night, O night divine
Truly He taught us to love one another His law is love and His gospel is peace Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother And in His name all oppression shall cease Sweet hymns of joy in greatful chorus raise we Let all within us praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord O praise His name forever His power and glory ever more proclaim His power and glory ever more proclaim
Fall on your knees O hear the angel voices His power and glory ever more proclaim O night divine O night when Christ was born His power and glory ever more proclaim
Baby please don't get too close to me Cause that ring you're wearin' Says that you're not free But if I said I didn't want ya Well you know I'd be a liar You better run while there's still time Cause I can't stop this fire I want you bad I can't help myself But you belong to someone else I'd leave you alone, darling, if I could But I want you bad and that ain't good
Baby please put away those ruby lips And those big blue eyes Are too hard to resist I'm not that kind of man Oh and usually I'm strong But it's gettin' hard to tell between What's right and what is wrong I want you bad I can't help myself, I want you bad girl that ain't good I want you bad bad bad that ain't good
I came in as the sun came up. She glared at me over her coffee cup. She said: "Where you been?" so I thought real hard, And said: "I fell asleep in that hammock in the yard." She said: "You don't know it boy but you just blew it." An' I said: "Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."
"That's my story. "Oh, that's my story. "Well, I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it. "But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."
I got that deer in the headlight look. She read my face like the cover of a book. And said: "Don't expect me to believe all that static, "'cause just last week, I threw that hammock in the attic." My skin got so thin you could see right through it. And I stuttered: "Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."
"That's my story." (That's my story.) "Oh, that's my story." (That's my story.) "Yeah, I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it, "But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."
You know the time comes when a wise man knows The best thing that he can do is just look her in the eye And beg for mercy and face the bitter truth.
"Well honey, me and the boys played cards all night, "There wasn't no hanky panky, not a woman in sight. "And I know I shoulda called and, baby, I'm real sorry. "Let's get a cellular phone and then you won't have to worry. "You know how much I love you and darlin' I'm ready to prove it. "And that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
"That's my story." (That's my story.) "Oh, that's my story." (That's my story.) "Yeah, I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it, "But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."
"You know I ain't gonna do a thing, "Darlin', unless you approve it. "Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."
You want to know where we go from here So many roads but none that seem clear Is what we have enough to last a whole life through Who knows baby who knows So you're asking me what do we do
Cause time moves so fast and the chances seem so few Is it too much to think that we could have it all Who knows we may never know
But if I were you I'd promise to live life for all it's worth Take all that you've been given and leave your mark upon this earth Trust your heart to show you everything you'll ever need And if I were you I'd fall in love with me
So hold me close I'll kiss away your fears I won't promise the moon but I promise to be here And what if together it gets better every day Who knows baby who knows But if I were you I'd promise to
But if I were you I'd promise to, If I were you I'd fall in love with me
Today the air cleared up The lights came on bright Years of heavy weight In a moment turned light I'd thought love could only look dark As if through a glass I just turned into an open book Readin' easy at last Tonight my walls came down like A brick through a plate glass window With a wrecking ball sound like old Jericho Laid swift to the ground I'm not sure when But baby you're how the walls came down
I've never trusted much Got my reasons like most Stayed well protected from Every thorn on each rose Taking those wayward trips Only to turn back and run Sailing all my relationships Could not have dreamed up this one Tonight my walls came down
You make sense to me in a world where Just a few things do make sense to me In your heart I'll put my trust Through whatever is in front of us Tonight my walls came down Ooh baby you're how the walls came down Oh baby you're how the walls came down
Winter snow is falling down, children laughing all around. Lights are turnin' on, like a fairy tale come true. Sitting by the fire we made, you're the answer when I prayed I would find some one, and baby I found you.
And all I want is to hold you forever. All I need is you more everyday. You saved my heart from being broken apart, you gave your love away, and I'm thankful everyday for the gift.
Watching as you softly sleep,what I'd give if I could keep just this moment, if only time stood still. But the colors fade away, and the years will make us gray, but baby in my eyes, you'll still be beautiful.
And all I want is to hold you forever. All I need is you more everyday. You saved my heart from being broken apart. You gave your love away, and I'm thankful everyday for the gift.
All I want is to hold you forever. All I need is you more everyday. You saved my heart from being broken apart. You gave your love away, Can't find the words to say And I'm thankful everyday for the gift
