Matchbox 20- Get it Back to Good

It's nothing, it's so normal
You just stand there I could say so much
But I don't go there cause I don't want to
I was thinking if you were lonely
Maybe we could leave here
And no one would know
At least not to the point that we would think so

Chorus:
Everyone here,
Knows everyone here is thinking about somebody else
Well, it's best if we all keep it under our heads
I couldn't tell,
If anyone here was feeling the way I do
But I'm lonely now,
And I don't know how
To get it back to good

Verse:
This don't mean that you own me
Well, this ain't no good, in fact it's phoney as hell
Yeah but things worked out just like you wanted to
If you see me out you don't know me
Try to turn your head, try to give me some room
To figure out just what I'm going to do

Chorus:
Cause everyone here,
Hates everyone here for doing just like they do


Matchbox 20-Unwell

All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something

Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be...me


Gretchen Wilson (Patsy Cline)-When I think about cheatin

When I think about cheatin'
I just think about you leavin'
And how my world would fall to pieces
If I tossed your love away
Even when i'm tempted by some stranger
Oh there's never any danger
I just think about you leavin'
When I think about cheatin'
