martina mcbride - a broken wing

She loved him like he was
The last man on Earth
Gave him everything she ever had
He'd break her spirit down, then come loving up on her
Give a little, then take it back
She'd tell him 'bout her dreams
He'd just shoot 'em down
Lord he loves to make her cry
"You're crazy for believing you'll ever leave the ground,
said only angels know how to fly"

CHORUS:
And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken with
She carries her dreams
Man, you outta see her fly!!!!!!!!

One Sunday morning
she didn't go to church
He wondered why she didn't leave
He went up the bedroom
Found a note by the window
With the curtains blowing, in the breeze

CHORUS

With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you outta see her Fly!!!!!!

martina mcbride - phones are ringin all over town

With lipstick on his collar and a trace of cheap perfume
He undresses in the darkness and eases into bed
With her face turned to the other wall she pretends to be asleep
But it doesn't really matter 'cause there's nothin' to be said

He calls from work to tell her he's sorry about last night
If he uses all the right words she'll forgive him once again
But the phone just keeps on ringin' and he knows that something's wrong
He feels his heart start pounding, and his head begin to spin

Chorus
Phones are ringin' all over town
North and south and east and west on main street up and down
He's got friends of his callin' friends of hers
But she's nowhere to be found
Phones are ringin' all over town

He calls the hospital, her sister's house and the place that does her hair
God, if somthin' ever happened he'd surely lose his mind
And he's thinkin' it's just like she's disappeared into thin air
As american flight #204 departed right on time

(repeat chorus)

Well he knows she'd never leave him
She's just got to be around
Phones are ringin'
Phones are ringin'
Phones are ringin' all over town

martina mcbride - a great disguise

People talking, think I'm all right
Think I'm doing fine
Goin' through the motions of my life
Go to work now every mornin'
Yeah I play the part
And hide away the contents of my solemn heart

CHORUS
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
I can't control the flood of all these tears inside
And if they only knew
They'd be so surprised
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise

Keep 'em guessin', keep 'em laughin'
Build that wall up high
As long as they don't see the other side
You've really done it
Done a number, a number on my soul
But I'll be damned if I'll ever let you know

CHORUS
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
There's no way to hide the truth from me, myself, and I
Yeah, I wear it well
Though it ain't my size
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise

I'm not one to show emotion
Like some fools I see
I won't wear my heart out on my sleeve
I don't miss you
Not for a moment
I'm gonna be okay

Words of wisdom spoken
By the light of day

CHORUS
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
Your memory pulls me under like a strong riptide
I'm still in love with you
It's all smoke and lights
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise

martina mcbride - a woman knows

How can you just stand there
And act like nothing's wrong
You haven't even kissed me
Or held me for so long
There's no lipstick on your collar
There's no perfume on your clothes
There's no number on a matchbook
But a woman always knows

(chorus)
A woman know without asking
A woman knows what's left unsaid
A woman knows when a man's been sleeping
In someone else's bed

I don't have all the answers
And you haven't left a clue
But in my heart there's just no question
You've found somebody new

(repeat chorus)
When you refuse to talk about it
In your silence my suspicion grows
You don't have to paint a picture
Somehow a woman knows
You don't have to paint a picture
Somehow a woman knows

martina mcbride - all the things we ve never done

They drank their anniversary glass
A silent moment passed
Then they kissed
She knows there's something on his mind
He'll tell her in due time
What it is

Chorus
He says "i've never built
Your mansion on a hill
Or warmed you in the spanish sun
I simply blink my eye
And think as years fly by
Of all the things we've never done"

She smiles and takes his hand in hers
And says "it just occured
To me now
The thought that brings you such regret
What hasn't happened yet
It makes me proud..."

Chorus
"you never walked away
When i needed you to stay
Or made me feel i'm not the one
There've been no broken vows
And there reason we're here now
Is all the things we've never done"

"we've never grown apart
You never broke my heart
With secrets that you've kept me from
We've never been untrue
And i'm still here with you
Through all the things we've never done"

martina mcbride - always be this way

I like the way you make my heart beat faster
You got me feeling like a sweet disaster
Ooo, and I like it
You like the way you say "I'm crazy about you"
You love the way you make your heart go boom boom
Ooo, you know you like it
It's just gets better every day
Tell me forever that we'll always be this way
This is how we'll always stay

You still be loving me and I'll be loving you
Please stay, we always be this way
Everybody says we'll never make it
But they don't have a clue in what they say in
Ooo, they 're just stupid, so stupid

martina mcbride - anything and everything

What do you dream about
Look at the stars, honey
All you gotta do is pick one out
And it's there for you
I'll be the one who makes
Your every dream come true

Close your eyes and baby
Make a wish and baby
I'll give you anything and everything
The sky's the limit and my heart is in it
I'll give you anything and everything
Anything and everything

Where do you want to go
Look at the world, baby
All you gotta do is just say so
And I'll take you there
Oh yeah, you know that
Love can take you anywhere

Close your eyes and baby
Make a wish and baby
I'll give you anything and everything
The sky's the limit and my heart is in it
I'll give you anything and everything
Anything and everything

I could spoil you
Make it easy
Make you happy if you let me
Won't you let me

I'll be the one who makes
Your every dream come true

Close your eyes and baby
Make a wish and baby
I'll give you anything and everything
The sky's the limit and my heart is in it
I'll give you anything and everything
(I'll give you) anything and everything
(I'll give you) anything and everything
(I'll give you anything and everything)

martina mcbride - anything s better than feelin the blues

I send myself a dozen roses
Right before the office closes
Just to make my girlfriends green with envy
Ever since I lost you
All the crazy things I do
I didn't even know I had it in me...Oh but

Chorus:
Hey, it's alright
It's just another Saturday night
Got nobody...got no nothin' to lose
I'm gonna get dressed up go downtown
Spread a little misery around
Anything's better than feelin' the blues

Found a restaurant on my way
(I) Told 'em it was my birthday
Just to hear the waiter sing off-key
Sprung a loose wire...that's a fact
Got a strange little monkey on my back
But I kinda like the company...And I guess

Chorus 2
Hey, it's alright
It's just another Saturday night
Got nobody...got no nothin' to lose
I'm gonna get dressed up go downtown
Dance the little monkey around
Anything's better than feelin' the blues

Chorus 3
Hey, it's alright
It's just another Saturday night
Got nobody...got no nothin' to lose
I'm gonna get dressed up go downtown
Live it up and never live it down
Anything's better than feelin' the blues

Anything's better than feelin' the blues

martina mcbride - anyway

You can spend your whole life building something from nothing
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway
You can chase a dream that seems so out of reach and you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

Chorus:
God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway, I do it anyway

This world's gone crazy and it's hard to believe that tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway
You can love someone with all your heart, for all the right reasons, and in a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway

Repeat Chorus

You can pour your soul out singing a song you believe in that tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway, sing it anyway

I sing, I dream, I love, anyway

martina mcbride - ashes

(chorus)
Ashes
He's nothing but ashes
No feelings have lasted
No love remains
Ashes
That's all that our past is
He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame

I saw your face when
He waltzed in here
But those old embers
Haven't burned for years
The light that's shining
In my eyes
Is for the one that
I'm with tonight

(repeat chorus)

No, i don't blame you
For having some doubts
But when he left me
That fire burned out
So don't be thinking
There's still a spark
'cause he could never
Tear us apart

(repeat chorus)

He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame

martina mcbride - ask the boy

Ask the boy
The one who fell in love with me
If he'll come back tonight
'Cause he's the boy
The one who always made me laugh
Yeah, where is he tonight?

And I'll ask the girl
The one who wasn't complicated
If she'll trade me places for a while

[Chorus]
Let's forget the rules and just let go
And drink it all in
Kiss under the stars we used to know
If they're still shinin'
I'm up for anything
Just waitin' on you
To ask the boy

Ask the boy
Who built his world around me
If I still light up his eyes
'Cause I can't forget
He put his arms around me
And we stayed like that all night

Let's stay like that
Let's stay like that

[Chorus]

(I'm waitin')
(Ask the boy)
(I'm waitin')
(Ask the boy)

Let's stay like that
Let's stay like that

[Chorus]

(I'm waitin')
(Ask the boy)
(I'm waitin')
(Ask the boy)

Ask the boy
The one who fell in love with me
If he'll come back tonight

martina mcbride - away in a manger

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down his sweet head
The stars in the sky
Look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying he makes
I love thee Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
Till morning is night

Choir Sings: Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down his sweet head
The stars in the heavens
Look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

Martina Sings: Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down his sweet head
I love thee Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
Till morning is night
Stay by my cradle
Till morning is night

martina mcbride - baby it s cold outside

I really can't stay
Baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away
Baby, it's cold out there
This evening has been
Been hoping
That you'd drop in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands
They're just like ice

My mother
Will start to worry
Beautiful
What you're hurry
And father
Will be
Pacing the floor
Listen
To that fireplace
Roar
So really
I'd better scurry
Beautiful
Please don't hurry
Well, maybe
Just a half
A drink more
Put some records on
While i pour

And the neighbors
Might think
Baby
It's bad out there
Say
What's in this drink?
No cabs
To be had out there
I wish i knew how
Your eyes
Are like starlight now
To break the spell
I'll take your hat
Your hair looks swell

I ought to say
No, no, no sir
Mind if i
Mmove in closer?
At least i'm gonna say
That i tried
What's the sense of
Hurtin' my pride?
I really can't stay
Baby don't hold out
Baby
But it's cold outside

I simply must go
But baby
It's cold outside
The answer is no
I say
It's cold out there
The welcome
Has been how lucky
That you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out that window
Man that's hard

My sister
Will be suspicious
Gosh
Your lips look delicious
My brother
Will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical
Shore
My maiden
Aunt's mind is vicious
Gosh
Your lips are delicious
Well maybe
Just a cigarette more
Oh
Never such a blizzard
Before

I've got to go home
Baby
you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat
It's up
To your knees out there
You've really been grand
I thrill
When you touch my hand
But don't you see
How can you do
This thing to me

There's bound
To be talk tomorrow
Think
Of my lifelong sorrow
At least there
Will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia
And died
I really can't stay
Get over that old lie

Oh
But it's cold outside

martina mcbride - be that way

Every time I turn around
I run into your pride
Sometimes I'm not so sure if I wanna
Know that guy, know that guy
'Cause you got a rock hard head
Stubborn as a mule
Oh, yeah, and by the way, I still love you

CHORUS
Go on and be that way
Slam that door
Make a scene
Yell some more
Come on let's have it out
Have your say
'Cause with a love this strong
Baby it's okay
For you to be that way

Sometimes what you don't say
Can make the deepest cut
And I get my feelings hurt
And I just go nuts, well a little nuts
So try to ignore that girl She's just blowin' off steam
Oh and I don't know about her
But I hope you say to me

REPEAT CHORUS

Baby let's get emotional
What do you say we let it all go
Let it go

REPEAT CHORUS

Be that way, oh yeah

martina mcbride - beautiful again

She was only ten when her daddy got fired
He drank away the family home and left them all alone
And then her mommy was just too tired
So she got sent away

She moved in with her aunt in Arizona
Everything was fine until she told on Uncle Bill
When he said he only wanted to hold her
She had to run away

[Chorus]
But when it rains, the past gets washed away, and then
She smiles 'cause she knows in the end
The world gets beautiful, beautiful again

Her boyfriend said I'm way too young to get married
But she made up her mind that somehow she was gonna
Find a way to keep that baby she carried
And he just walked away

[Repeat Chorus]

And when she's lying all alone
Thinkin' about her life she wonders
If she is wrong to believe in a better world
Then she sees her little girl
And she knows she is right 'cause

[Repeat Chorus]
