To all my Hookist friends: moving forward I want to wish the growing numbers of songwriters good luck! Thanks to Marty and Clay and Songtown for joining with Hookist! You all should be proud at the numbers of pro and beginning songwriters you continue to attract. I just don’t know how you will find the time to go thru the hundreds of lines submitted?? For me, being “chosen” on Marty’s really made me feel great and opened my eyes! Carry on my fellow songwriters! Hopefully these tunes will reach somebody with a little luck!!!
take back [girl]....... you were the one, the only one in our world,/ I can say that's a natural fact girl,/you showed me love and I thank you for that/ and there ain't one kiss I'd wanna take back
(Girl) yeah we had that kind of love girl, fit together hand in glove girl
(girl) sometimes I'd like to go back to our world
(girl) yeah we had was a special kind of love girl, went together like a hand in the glove girl
girl now our worlds have changed/ I'd be lying if, I didn't say....There ain't
You live you love and then you learn/ you’re better from the hurt
Girl sometimes you love and lose/but I'm a better man for lovin you
Sometimes you love and lose/I'm a better man for lovin' you
sometimes you live, love and lose/but I'm a better man for lovin' you
and girl, this much is true/ I'm a better man for lovin' you
we must have walked for hours/ when we ran out of gas
And the one down in keys/at the crab and oyster shack
And the one down in Miami/at the clam and oyster shack
those suds somehow went up your nose/when you were in the bubble bath
I captured you, in that moment/ a treasure from the past
That feeling rushed right through me/ after all the years that passed
and that face, had me asking' / why good things never last
and that face, had me asking' / why good things never last
A frozen piece of yesterday/that would never last
Underneath the cottonwood/and you laying in the grass
Those feelings I felt for you/just came rushing back
Didn't know where we were going/two hearts without a map
I Should've Thought Twice
Now I learned how to cook, learned how to love/
there’s always a dish that I’m dreamin' of/
I don’t mind cooking, for someone so sweet/
and we head up the stairs right after we eat
don’t let the door/ Hit you when you leave/ Say goodbye to my dog/and turn in your key/It was good while it lasted/but if you really must know/you couldn't boil water/and burnt all the toast.....(now I learned how to cook, learned how to love)
don’t let the door
hit you when you leave
say goodby to my dog
and turn in your key
it was great while it lasted
but if you really must know
you couldn’t boil water
and couldn’t make toast ( one credit, why not?????) lol
According to you, the reason we''re through is that you can't change the stripes on a zebra/well that maybe so and as I watched you go/I realized I really don't need ya!
you went left and I went right/ when we walked away that night/ we stepped off the carousel/ no one to blame except ourselves
when you get the chance to turn the page/you'll learn from the mistakes you made/when you pick yourself up from the fall/ you'll see you didn't lose it all
The choices that me make in life/Some work out, some ain't right/we loved awhile, then moved on/can't say I'm happy that you're gone.....but I knew, I couldn't take it any longer/ and they say, what hurts you makes you stronger
If there’s a heaven / it’s you lying there / not even knowing / no one can compare
* Be kind enough to read thru the lines that other writers thought enough about to post before you use the idea. Thank you!
cause I've , been waiting all my life, for (someone so rare)
and you with forever in your eyes
at dawn see forever in your eyes
at dawn see tomorrow in your eyes
Then, when the light starts creepin in, I real-ize again, you're the only one
Here we are, lying in the dark, wrapped in each others arms, waiting for the sun
You /forever in my arms/forever in the dark/while our love keeps growing (second line is If I/ could only stop the sun/ we’d be the only ones……..(lost in this moment)???
If I/ could only stop the sun/ we'd be the only ones........(lost in this moment)???
If there’s a heaven / it’s you lying there / not even knowing / no one can compare
Even so/you need to know (you're someone so rare)
all wrapped up/ and deep in love with (someone so rare)
I know it's true/ Here I am with you
I got something more/than I was looking for
Beyond a doubt/i've figured out (you're someone so rare)
So wonderful/So beautiful
Deep in your eyes/is where I'll find (someone so rare)
you're mine alone/ and I've never known (someone so rare)
And I know now/that God! I found (someone so rare)
You stole my heart/girl you are (someone so rare)
I want you more/I know that you're ( someone so rare)
Forget the sun and just lay where we are/and stay entangled in each others arms
forget that clock , and we can stay where we are/feeling the fire in each other's arms
forget that clock so we can stay where we are/and love the night away in, each other's arms
when the moon is gone and we loved the night away/I'm right where I belong and it's where I'm gonna stay
The dawn is breaking, I wipe the sleep from my eyes/I not dreaming, I'm still in para-dise
Lets take its slowly, I don't want this to end/until the moment when I hold you again
Just hold me tighter, cause I'm fallin' fast/for a love of a lifetime, lets make it last
You stole my heart, baby that's for sure/ so hold me tighter cause I'm falling for, (someone so rare)
I feel your fire burning under these sheets/girl my desire makes it too hot to sleep
I feel the heat burning under these sheets/Girl I'm on fire and it's too hot to sleep
I feel your fire, the taste of your lips/a perfect memory, from a moment like this
I feel your fire and the taste of your kiss/ wanna stay forever in the moment like this
I feel the passion and the taste of your kiss/ wanna stay forever in the moment like this
You drive my passion, with your tender kiss/Let's stay forever in the moment, like this
If there’s a heaven / it’s you lying there / not even knowing / no one can compare
If there's a heaven/it's you lying there/not even knowing/you're someone so rare
Just when I thought/ I’d looked everywhere/ be-fore my eyes/lying right there, is someone so rare
Just when I thought/ I’d looked everywhere/ be-fore my eyes/standing right there, was someone so rare
and when I thought/ I'd searched everywhere/ be-fore my eyes/and standing right there, was someone so rare
Someone so rare/that one of a kind/a one in a million/that's so hard to find
and I know it's true/cause I found in you
