"Really like this and how it gives me that bit of humor...still not right in how it sings.
below I've put in parenthesis the extra syllables and in the second line you need one more. there's a way to do this!! But I want you to figure it out.
Make it conversational...just like you'd say it. Lots to think about!
well I could show (you) a map
Draw you (-) a picture
Read the facts
Line by line
(but in) stead of that
How about (we have) a real good time
"
Lyric by Merilee:
"So I unfold my map"
Beth Nielsen Chapman commented on Merilee's lyric:
"Ok that's weird. sometimes I write a whole thing and when I hit submit it disappears! here I go again:
Here's a way you can rework this verse with humor and also have it fit!
I could unfold this map
Draw a little picture
State my facts
Thousands of times (taking my stand)
But I'll look back
(Knowing when the truth unwinds)
I'm never gonna change your mind
this is NOT finished but shows you all the whacky things I try...
the stuff in parenthesis are other options or lines on the way to the final lines maybe...
keep playing with it!"
Lyric by Merilee:
"So I unfold my map"
Lyric by Merilee:
"Lookin' for a ray of hope, just a simple glance will do. It's not seein' eye to eye I know, but certainly the start of something new."
Lyric by Merilee:
"Verse 3 re-Work using same phrases: I could state my case, try to win you over, scream and pace, tangled in pride, what a waste, to argue till the end of time."
Beth Nielsen Chapman commented on Merilee's lyric:
"like the 'tryin' rhyme...but for the third line so you can have ABAB. and 10 or 11 syllables sings best for the second line"

We'll shake it till the moonlight fades, and dawn reveals a brand new day.
Listen to the DJ spinnin' that sound, gonna lift you up, so you can get down.
Don't worry that it's been awhile, you're never gonna lose your style, jump to your feet, hop on the beat, and let me see that smile.
Drop that beat and it all comes back, just like ridin' a bike, wheels in motion, playground's open, (and) I'm playin' hard tonight.
Got to get up if you wanna get down, move to the music, spinnin' that sound
Gotta get up if you wanna get down, just a little move can turn it around.
Forget about your troubles, turn yourself around, feel the beat, get on your feet, it's time for gettin' down.
Forget about your troubles, just spin yourself around, it's good to move, you got the groove, nothing's gonna stop you now.
Shimmy to the music, rock away the night, any way you choose it, I know you’ll get it right.
Adreniline takes over as I shimmy to the sound, I feel the beat, turn up the heat, nothing’s gonna stop me now.
Adreniline takes over as I shimmy to the sound, I feel the beat, turn up the heat, nothing’s gonna slow me down.
Shimmy to the music, rock away the night, any way you choose it, I know you'll get it right.
There you are, burnin' up the dance floor, I know what I'm in for, gettin' down with you.
Pump up the volume, wind up the sound, babe put on your dancin' shoes, it's time to get down.
Adreniline takes over as I move in on the sound, I feel the beat, and body heat, nothing's gonna slow me down.
I feel a flame igniting when I see your famous smile, I watch you move, you got the groove, that sets my feet on fire.
Your smile lights up the venue, that's the only light I need, I can see just what I want to, all of you, and some of me.
A shining Prima Donna, you know how to make me move, no denying, sparks start flying, when you get in the groove.
Your hips will be a-swayin', in that golden sequined dress, (and/but) your smile will steal the spotlight, as you outshine all the rest.
Now I'm racin' for the dance floor, cause I know that's where you'll be / looking pretty as a picture in a high-end gallery
A rush of hope runs through me, it feels good to be alive, (yeah) your timing's always perfect, you know what I need tonight
The moment I lay eyes on you, adrenaline kicks in, you're like a magic potion that my body can't resist.
A rush of hope runs through me, and I start to feel alive, (yeah) your timing's always perfect, you know what I need tonight.
Like a beacon in the darkness, you will guide me through this storm, I suddenly feel life in me, as hope begins to grow.
Now I'm ra-cin' to the finish, I'll put my whole self in it, to be where you are.
I feel it, feel it in my bones, the music's calling me and I can't say no.
I hear it! I hear the sound, it's reachin' me where I am, gotta get down.
My spirit's really willing but my body feels worn, I'll just keep on movin' 'til the beat takes control.
My spirit is willing but my body feels weak, so I just keep on movin' 'til I feel the heat.
I just keep on pushing til my body responds, adrenaline take over cause I want to get down.
Been workin' out - to DVDs and livestream, zoomin' in - to open mics and meetings.
Walls, walls, walls, walls walls, I'm breaking through these walls.
All wrapped up in emotion, gotta cut this energy loose.
(I'm) all wrapped up in emotion, gotta set this energy free.
Won't waste a single moment of the time I have with you
Used to be just you and me, but now we're us and we
I thank the Lord above that I'm with you.
My better half, came to life, when I met you.
My universe begins and ends with you
My world feels complete with you
Guess the past can't compete with me and you
Guess it can't compete with the love I share with you.
My heart used to roam, now it's found a home
Wamderin' on my own, now my heart is home
I used to hope and pray that I'd see this day
The past seems far away, from where we are today
The time I spent alone
I used to dream someday, someone would come my way
The past seems far away
Synergistic energy!
Doin' what we do best
My heart was made for you
Playin' our favorite tune
Got a picture of the future and it looks like you and I
It's no trouble that I'm seeing double when it's you and I.
There's no end in sight, for you and I.
The sum of one plus one equals you and I.
Holding hands and kissing in the moonlight, for all time.
Together has never felt better than you and I.
Move over, future, make room for you and I.
Together's always better when it includes you and I.
I could see forever in your eyes
You're the missing piece that makes my life
I was guided by blind ambition, now I’m lookin’ at the world through double vision.
I was guided by blind ambition, now I'm login' at the world through double vision.
I was guided by blind ambition, now I see the world through double vision.
I was living life with blind ambition, now everything appears in double-vision.
I was heading in a single direction, then you became my object of affection.
Thought I had it all figured out, was doin' pretty good by myself
I don't want to miss any us time, life is so much brighter now that you're mine.
That life could even be more beautiful, double what I thought I knew it could.
That life could be a lot more beautiful, with you.
That all I'd hoped for, every dream, was standing right in front of me.
Every time I walk through the door, I'm reminded that I'm not alone.
Breathe-in silence, exhale kindness, this is how compassion finds us
Breathe-in silence, exhale kindness, let's give love a chance to find us
Breathe in silence, exhale kindness
There are days when I feel empty, just lookin' to survive, and days when hope arises and makes me feel alive
I'll take a stand against brutality, we're not free till all of us can breathe
You're not meant to sail this storm alone.
Fan the flame of hope that's shining through your eyes,
Despair is on your doorstep, but it cannot block the light,
Isolation leaves me anxious, what I really need is closeness.
(We) close our/your eyes and listen to the stillness, rise with all the courage that's within us.
When reality is changing, right before your eyes, and you're not sure how to live a normal life.
When churchbells cease to ring joyful news.
Just reach out, see how far we can go.
Close your eyes and listen for that still, small voice, then stand with all the courage you possess.
Remember that storm the year before last, knew it was comin' but we never guessed, it would hit so hard.
I'll always remember last Christmas, we made plans to meet in the spring.
I don't want a remedy, don't prescribe a fix, you can keep the antidote, in your bag of tricks.
Kindness is contagious.
(You know) I don't need a Doctor, to tell me what I got, I recognize the symptoms, I feel it in my heart (or gut).
Our love is outrageous, contagious and strong.
When things settle down
Positive connection
10 day forecast
Positive perception
Abnormal
Like we used to do
Your eyes are smilin'
Our love is outrageous, courageous, and strong
We're standing on common ground
(I've) been (doin' a lot of) thinkin'
I see your reflection
Looking at the sunrise
What matters most
Essentially yours
We're one day closer
We're one day closer
Pretty sure it's Sunday
Playing on empty streets
One world! One chance! One song! One dance! One sky! One place! One Life, Our way!
One hush, heard throughout the earth, in awe, of every human's worth.
One touch, (and) I feel so alive, One love, I see it in your eyes. One world! One chance! One song! One dance! One sky! One place! One Life, Our way!
One love, to fill the universe, One shout, to make our voices heard.
One hush that fills the earth with tears, One prayer that we’ll live beyond our fears.
One spec, within the universe, One shout, to make our voices heard.
One hush, that stills the Universe, One kiss, to wipe away the hurts
One hush that fills the universe with tears, One prayer we'll choose to live beyond our fears.
One world, one big family, one love, for all humanity.
One prayer, that we will find our way, One hope, that we'll see brighter days.
One hope, that gives us strength to share, Our joy, with people everywhere.
One prayer, that we will all be safe, One love that takes our breath away
One earth, for all of us to share, one chance, to show how much we care.
One prayer, that we will find our way, One hope, that we'll see brighter days.
One flag to represent us all, One hope, One life, One call.
One flag to represent us all, One hope, One life, One world.
One strength, that comes from endless hope, One gift, that gives without reward.
One prayer, that we will find our way, One hope, that we'll see brighter days.
One joy, as our thoughts unite, One voice, calling in the night.
One voice, calling in the night, One joy, as our voices all unite.
One voice, proclaiming peace on earth, One hope, to heal the hurt.
One voice, proclaiming loud and clear, Our hope, is peace on earth.
One earth, for all of us to share, one chance, to show how much we care.
One earth, for us to care about, One life, we can make it count.
One earth, for us to care about, One life, let's make it count.
One world, aglow from sea to sea, One hope, for all humanity.
One world, one big family, one love, for all humanity.
And the love and light, within our hearts / shines even brighter in the dark
And now you see me, and I see you, in a whole new light, from a different view.
I can see the worry in your eyes, wondering if your loved ones will survive, my heart feels your pain, let's join the world in praying for all mankind.
I can see the worry in your eyes, wondering if the ones you love will thrive, my heart feels your pain, I'm hoping and I'm praying for all mankind.
(Better than) Pure gold/ living in harmony/Can't miss/ this opportunity/ to live as One World
And maybe we'll love a little longer, stand a little taller, be stronger for each other, while we learn to make things better
When we say peace on earth, for every boy and girl, we're saying we're in this together, part of one amazing world.
By design, we're here for one another, lift your eyes, discover all the wonder
Lift your eyes, the world is filled with wonder, by design, we're here to help each other
Tomorrow's not promised, but today is upon us
Plans we made last time you were here, are cancelled 'cause the future's so unclear.
That beautiful blue sky, sunlight on my face, a few clouds passing by, seem to wave as if to say....
One prayer, that we will find our way, One hope, there will be brighter days.
when it calls
So when you feel those war drums beating in your head, and you’re about to fall apart, listen to your heart.
So when you feel those war drums beating in your head, and you're about to fall apart, lean in and listen to the rhythm of my heart, peace will find you, peace will find you.
If I am far away when you feel those war drums beating, tune in to the rhythm of your heart, find who you are.
And if I'm far away when you hear those war drums beating, look for the strength that lies within you, I am with you.
If you feel you're alone when darkness closes in, stand firm at the front line of your heart, I'm not very far.
And if I’m gone one day when the battle starts to rage, look to the frontlines of your heart, I'm not too far.
And if I'm gone one day when the battle starts to rage, look to the frontlines of your heart, you'll find me there.
Wish I could turn back time and take away the pain, but life only moves in one direction.
Some things cannot be bought, some things can’t be sold. You are a priceless gift, more precious than pure gold. And you know…I’ll carry you (maybe end with a shortened verse instead of going to another chorus).
Some things cannot be bought, some things can't be sold. You are a priceless gift, more precious than pure gold. And you know...I'll carry you (maybe end with a shortened verse instead of going to another chorus).
Till the night turns to day/ till the fear starts to fade/ in the valley down below
I'll carry you, through the forest to the peaks, where we'll take in every view, and dream our biggest dreams.
(I’ll carry you), keep your hopes and dreams alive, when there's nothing more to do, I’ll still be by your side.
(I'll carry you), keep your hopes and dreams alive, when we've done all we can do, I'll still be by your side.
I'll carry you (Darden's line) when your dreams feel far away, I will circle 'round the moon, if I can find a way.
We graced the skies, let our hopes and dreams take flight, faced our fears with all our might, on this journey we call life.
I always knew, that your love for me was strong, and you’d do anything for me, so I could carry on.
We shared our lives, all our hopes and all our fears, we gave all we had to give, as we stumbled through the years
You'll be safe in my embrace, I'll wash all your tears away, and when the night is through, I'll carry you.
You can rest in my embrace, you'll be warm and you'll feel safe, it's the least that I can do. I'll carry you.
I will be your guiding light, lead you through the darkest night, 'til the morning sun breaks through. (Then) I'll carry you.
I will answer when you call, when your back's against the wall, and you've done all you can do. I'll carry you.
I will cradle your sweet dreams, and I'll rock them while you sleep, by the bright light of the moon. I will carry you.
I will cradle your sweet dreams, and protect them while you sleep, by the bright light of the moon. I will carry you.
I will cradle your sweet dreams, and protect them while you sleep, you know I will carry you. I will carry you.
(Just) Call on me, when the day is dark as midnight, (and) every breath is hard to come by, when you're lost, and you don't know what to do.
Call my name, when the day is dark as midnight, (and) every breath is hard to come by, I'll be there for you.
Here's my hand, I'm right here by your side, one day at a time, we'll make this journey together.
I saw the future through your eyes, with confidence you graced the skies.
When I lose my faith, your love lights the way
Angel in disguise, gave me wings to fly
Every loving deed, sowed a living seed
You poured out your life, selfless sacrifice
(In) darkness and in light, you sowed seeds of life
Brave and caring friend, faithful to the end
Blessings from above, found me through your love.
You and I we saw highs and we saw lows you taught me what I need to know in this life and beyond
Your sacrifice, taught me lessons about love, learned the things that really matter, are blessings from above.
Your steadfast love, gave me hope when I was lost, And I learned when we're together, I'm right where I Belong
Your sacrifice, taught me lessons about love, the things that money cannot buy, you freely gave them up.
I never doubted, that your love for me was strong, and you'd do anything for me, so I could carry on.
Flight 419 (four nineteen) to Nashville is boarding at Gate C. Time to take to the sky on the flight of my life, headin' home to my family.
What’s going on? You know you can tell me. Baby I know your heart, and it tears be apart, that you’ve buried it so far from home.
What's going on? You know you can tell me. Baby I know your heart, and it tears be apart, that you've buried it far from me.
Yeah it's been seven months now, and I'm still trying to figure out, why I feel so alone, even though you've come back home, You're still gone.
Never thought my heart would leave me, on a distant shore. But it traveled half a world away, to a place, it's never been before.
We started out with giant dreams in living color, there was nothing we wouldn't do, for each other.
I slowly run my fingers down the worn out photograph. Place it safely in my pocket, and cover it with my hand.
We all have dreams, of where we should be, just how we get there, depends on a number of things.
It could have been you, it could have been me, one thing forsure, we don't always know, where the path we travel, will lead.
Let's wave goodbye to the dark midnight sky, and embrace all the grace of the day.
That second of bliss, found in one, simple kiss, transports us, to worlds far away.
With one, simple kiss, we're transported to a bliss, time stops, night drops, away.
When darkness invades, our small, earthly space, we unmask it, and cast it away.
(So) When darkness invades, our sacred, earthly space, unmask it, and cast it away.
The dark, took a chance, but it was no match, for our chilling, and thrilling, escape.
(So) let's wave goodbye, to the cold, midnight sky, and live in, the prism, we made.
Let’s reach for the stars, no matter how far, in that moment, we’re stolen away.
Let's reach for the stars, no matter how far, that's the moment, we're stolen away.
The dark, took a chance, but could not withstand, the power, of stealing away.
So let's wave good bye, to this cold, midnight sky, and go for, the path forged, by faith.
Amidst the eclipse the smile on your lips, shines lighter and brighter than day.
When darkness invades, our small, earthly space, determined, we find an escape.
Stepping back into time, we're no longer blind, our mind is, aligned with, the stars.
Wide awake, and entranced, we break out in dance, as our mind are, aligned with the stars.
Wide awake, and entranced, we break out in dance, as our mind are, aligned
Waking up, next to you, in a rose colored room, I feel weightless, and ageless, and new.
Waking with you, in a rose colored room, I feel weightless, and ageless, and new.
So we wave good bye, to the dark midnight sky, and embrace, the grace of day.
Released from the trance, we laugh and we dance, mindful of all that we have.
When we reach, for the stars, with all that we are, (we're) ignited and guided by love.
Stars are shining bright, a boundless sea of diamonds, dancing in an endless sky, with brilliant new horizons.
Stars begin to fade, the midnight sky is blushing, once again nature proves that, heaven and earth are touching.
Breaking of the dawn, a clear path lies before us,
Courage rises up, our voices become stronger, we join the world in chorus, as shadows run for cover.
Such a brilliant sight, endless illumination, the world is shining brighter, than all my expectations.
Fix my gaze on you, the hero in my story, no one else reveals the truth, like you in all your glory.
Images of you, some secrets can't be spoken, close my eyes and fade into, the memories we've woven.
Leaving time, finding space, Imagination has it’s place, dreams are meant, to survive, and stolen moments keep the dreams alive.

Rising up to face our fears, overcome resistance, we know what we're doing here, embracing our existence.
We may not know our fate, but we keep on tryin', stolen moments give us wings, it's time to take off flyin'.
Clouds begin to move, the sky is open, nothing left to prove, in this stolen moment.
Walking in the light, illuminates the senses, stepping out of time, we lay down our defenses.
Take a deeper breath, let the mem'ries gather, release regrets, they don't really matter.
Silhouettes appear, figures smiling, playing, memories so clear, a past worth saving.
A voice from inside, screams hope has not died, it's shrouded, and clouded, from time.
Deeds left undone, songs left unsung, taunt us, and haunt us, tonight.
Will despair, and regret, pave the road ahead, or will grace, guide the way through the night?
(When) dread, and regret, cause us to forget, the sun will not dawn without the night.
Lying sleepless in my bed, demons race in to defend their space inside my over-thinking head.
News of war, and unrest, weigh heavy on my chest, trying to catch my breath isn't easy.
In the silence of the night, I hear the chaos in my mind, resolve to get some sleep, if I can find, a way to leave the day behind.
Stepping back, leaving time, shake the chaos from my mind, release the stain (or pain), live again, stolen moments keep me sane.
Leaving time, finding space, stolen moments keep me sane.
Leaving time, stepping out, the sun on my face, I'm in another place, as I embrace this stolen moment.
I steal a moment to re-connect, think and feel, re-direct, nagging thoughts that cause me pain, stolen moments keep me sane.
I steal a moment, to reconnect, to think and feel, to re-direct, my wayward thoughts, cause me pain, stolen moments keep me sane.
Rest is calling out to me, can I afford the luxury, of wasting time, letting go, stealing silence, will I lose control?
Lying sleepless in my bed, demons racing to defend their space inside my over-thinking head, it's time to put them down to rest
There's no space between us/ Right now we are timeless.
So I want to tell you/just how much I love you!
Let's make more mem'ries/ while the clock's still moving.
Before time passess/let's dance all the dances.
Let's enjoy this moment/ 'Cause we can't relive it.
Let's write our story/And share it proudly
Every time you hold me/ we're making hist'ry
So I'll feel each moment/not afraid to own it!
How can I regret any moment that led to you standing beside me today
Every heartbeat reminds me/ Today's not behind me
Every heartbeat reminds me/ we're all on this journey/we lead or we follow/to get to tomorrow/to be with each other again.
Every heartbeat reminds me/ the path that's behind me/ has been walked out by others/who struggled and suffered/ when their world came tumble-ing down.
Every heartbeat reminds me/ the path that's behind me/ carried teardrops and laughter/ And sometimes an answer/ to the questions I couldn't let go.
Every heartbeat reminds me/ the path that I'm climbing
Every heartbeat reminds me/ the path that's behind me. Carried mem'ries of sorrow, and hope for tomorrow/But nothing was written in stone
Every heartbeat reminds me/ that the mountain I'm climbing/ Is just part of the journey/ I don't need to worry/
Every heartbeat reminds me/ There's someone beside me
Life's full of beauty
Life's not always easy
It's not always easy
There is HOPE for tomorrow/ I just need to follow....
There is how for tomorrow/ so I'll learn to follow
Life's not just behind me
Life's not quite behind me
Love lives on forever
We're here for each other
We're in this together
We're in this together
Tomorrow's not promised
Catch every grain of sand
This world's always changing
The world's always turning
Learn to follow my heart
Won't let you cry alone
(And or I'll) cry when I need to
And cherish what we have
Don't wait 'til it's too late
Like a fleeting sunset
Leave no room for regrets
Make mem'ries that matter
Make each day a treasure
Embrace what love offers (thank you, Keith)
Try to give even more
Embrace what life offers
Like there's no tomorrow
Make time for what matters
Without hesitation
Embrace what comes my way
Take in every moment
Breathe in each moment
Be present each moment
Take time for family, and make time for friends
Keep every promise I made to myself.
Stop by for a visit, make time for us.
End my good byes with a hug and a kiss
(2nd couplet) The past may be gone/But my will remains strong.
I know I can't go back/And find what I once had/if I could I would run/And before that day's done/You'd be the jewel in my crown.
I know I can't go back/ To change what I could have
I'm alive and I'm breathin '/yeah that's enough reason/to promise myself that somehow
Stuck again in the evening traffic/how much longer can I keep at this?
Tucked away in the bedroom closet/ memories in cardboard boxes/ marked 'My Life'/'My Life'.
You know I'm not the betting kind / And I'm never gonna change your mind!
(Keithcurtis) Well you hide your self/
Never mind the reasons/
Feel the felt/
Bet on the line/
(Merilee) Grab the dice/
Throw ‘em for a hopeless ride/(BNC)
And I’m never gonna change your mind.
(PatriciaA) So I show my cards / Lay ’em on the table/(Merilee) Time to fold/lay it all down /(keithcurtis)You check your hand / (Merilee) hoping that you're right this time.
(So I show my cards / Lay ’em on the table – PatriciaA)/ Will you fold/ Are you all in (brief, suspenseful pause) / You grab the dice/ And throw em for a HOPELESS ride! I’m never gonna change your mind.
(So I show my cards / Lay ’em on the table - PatriciaA)/ Will you fold/ Are you all in (brief, suspenseful pause) / You grab the dice/ And throw em for another ride! I’m never gonna change your mind.
So I show my cards / Lay ’em on the table (PatriciaA)/ Will you fold/ Are you all in /Winner takes all /or maybe we'll share the prize! But I'm never gonna change your mind.
I rest my case / Think I won you over/ (But) for Love's sake/ I'll call it a tie/ let's just stop/(and) Save it for another time. 'Cause I'm never gonna change your mind.
I rest my case/ Hope I won you over / Either way/ Time to move on/ You and I have better ways to spend our time/ And I'm never gonna change your mind!!
So I rest my case/ Think I won you over/ Either way/ let's call it a day/ we can find/ a better way to spend our time/ And I'm never gonna change your mind!
So I rest my case/ Think I won you over/ Either way/ (It's) time to move on/ You and I/ should spend our time being kind. Cause I'm never gonna change your mind!
Now I'll rest my case/ Take a little breather/(A) change of pace/(and) we'll be alright.
So I rest my case/ Take a little breather
In the middle of your heart/Hidden out of sight/There's a little part/Captured by the light/Revealing to the dark/The notion that I might...
In the middle of your heart/ hidden out of sight/ bullseye('s) in the dark/ reason shines a light/ hoping to impart/the notion that I might....
In the middle of your heart/hidden out of sight/ you feel a little spark/ reason shines a light/revealing to the dark/ the notion that I might/ might just/ might be right
So I unfold my map
Lookin' for a ray of hope, just a simple glance will do. It's not seein' eye to eye I know, but certainly the start of something new.
I'm searching for a ray of hope, (And) Watching for the slightest chance, to really let our love light glow, let's forget our disagreements and dance!
You and I are so alike, It took awhile to figure that out. When we share a laugh and smile, we forget what we were fusin' about.
Verse 3 re-Work using same phrases: I could state my case, try to win you over, scream and pace, tangled in pride, what a waste, to argue till the end of time.
You and I are so alike, Surprised we couldn't figure that one out. When you flash that killer smile, I forget what we were talking about.
(Edit) Fire away! Hope I hit the bullseye, what we say, shouldn't tear us apart. I'll follow the high road and swallow my foolish pride, 'cause I'm never gonna change your mind!
Fire away! Going for the bullseye. What we say, shouldn't tear us apart. I'm gonna take the high road and swallow my pride, cause I'm never gonna change your mind.
Well I could show you a map- Draw you a picture- Read the facts, line by line- but what's the point- I'd just be wasting our time, cause I'm never gonna change your mind!
I'm never gonna change your mind, I see the flames burnin'in your eyes.
I was never gonna change your mind, you're the type that holds (onto) a grudge. So I finally gave up, quit tryin', and decided to depend on luck.
You're never gonna change my mind, the last time was the very last time.
I'm never gonna change your mind, but I thought you'd like to know...
I'm never gonna change your mind, but your heart might listen to reason.
I'm never gonna change your mind, why beat my head against the wall?
You're never gonna change my mind, you can't convince me to live a lie.
You're never gonna change my mind, I'd be a fool to believe your lies.
I'm never gonna change your mind, but your heart will convince you, to try one more time.
You're never gonna change my mind, you know I mean it, we're out of time.
I was never gonna change your mind, so I gave up, stopped tryin'
One kiss and my heart started beating
Makes you crazy and your heart starts reeling
Woke me up, gave my life new meaning.
There ain't one kiss I'd wanna take back girl, you rocked my whole world, there's no regret
There ain't one kiss I'd take back, girl, You changed my whole world, I can't forget
There's one kiss I'd take back, girl, when you said the L-word and stole my heart.
You were telling quite the story about a lover from your past
Turns out it was me
Now That I know what You Knew (back then)
Washed out Denim Jeans
Smiling in the Mirror
Painting the Sky Blue
Far back as I remember we were joined at the hip, our relationship, was one for the books.
