Melissa Etheridge - This Is Me Lyrics






I Wont Be Alone Tonight

Gonna put my boots on, pull back my hair
There's a heartbreak in the night but I don't care
Got to find me an angel one that's just a little mean
In cheap sunglasses and low-rise jeans

I've had enough of a stuffed up wall
I'm breaking out tonight that's all
Don't owe nobody money as far as I can recall

I, I won't be alone tonight, the darkness will end and I won't be alone, won't be alone tonight
There's a billion stars out in an endless sky and I won't be alone, won't be alone
Won't be alone tonight

Talking to the mirror working up my nerve
I say you have much more than this than you deserve
Lift up my head, I gotta take a little chance
I'm gonna meet my feet, my feet can dance

I've had enough of a one way screen
I was and I was a cheap caffeine
Get me a clean shirt find me the in between

Oh, I won't be alone tonight, the darkness will end and I won't be alone, won't be alone tonight
There's a billion stars out in an endless sky and I won't be alone, won't be alone
Won't be alone tonight

I make my bed and that's my choice
I just wanna hear another human voice
Screaming pillows and secret tears
Every single night for a hundred million years

But not tonight

I, I won't be alone tonight, the darkness will end and I won't be alone, won't be alone tonight
There's a billion stars out in an endless sky and I won't be alone, won't be alone
Won't be alone tonight

Take My Number

Do you mind if I sit down next to you?
Yeah, I remember you from school
You seem to have a good heart
Way back then, you were gonna make it big
But it's divorce, now with a couple kids
That brings you back to these parts

Everybody stumbles
Everybody hits the ground
No use running scared
When those changes come around
Cause you don't know what might
Be waiting for you tonight

You really shouldn't drive
You've had too much to drink
You shouldn't be alone
Where all you're gonna do is think
So take my number
Or I can take you home
We can find a cup of coffee
We can sit all night and talk
There's a diner always open
Just around the block
So take my number
Or I can take you home

All those dreams
That were gonna set us free
What did we ever know at 23
About what we really wanted?
Everybody's got a fire
That's always gonna burn
No way to put it out
All we ever do is learn
And you don't know what might
Be waiting for you tonight

Oh, you really shouldn't drive
You've had too much to drink
You shouldn't be alone
Where all you're gonna do is think
So take my number
Or I can take you home, yeah

We can find a cup of coffee
We can sit all night and talk
There's a diner always open
Just around the block
So take my number
Or I can take you home

Take you home
Take you home
Take you home
I can take you home

Do you mind if I sit down next to you?
Well, I remember you from school
You seem to have a real good heart

Oh, you really shouldn't drive
You've had too much to drink
You shouldn't be alone
Where all you're gonna do is think
So take my number
Or I can take you home

We can find a cup of coffee
We can sit all night and talk
There's a diner always open
Just around the block
So take my number
Or I can take you home
Take my number
Or I can take you home

A Little Hard Hearted

We were playing house,
Just playing make believe
That you and I in love
is all we really need.
How could I have known
That every feeling swallowed inside
Would just keep glowing,
never knowing that it would someday blow in.
Then it was over just like it started.
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted.
The looking glass shattered
Everyone departed
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted.
Oooooo

Broken dreams and shattered glass
Late night screams and busted handles
We tried to hide the past
Settled for the lies
And the dirty scandals
How could I have known
The promises would fade now
Turned to stone and fall away
Just fall away.

Then it was over
Just like it started
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted
yeah

The looking glass shattered
Everyone departed
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted

Oooohh
I don't want to be hard hearted
Nooooo
I dont want to be hard hearted

And it was over
Just like it started
A little more lonely
And a little hard hearted
The looking glass shattered
everyone departed
A little more lonely
A little hard hearted

Do It Again

Walked your fire I got a little bit burnt
Hold on tight cause I, I never did learn
You were the one they tried to warn me about
I jumped into your ocean knowing I could never get out

Oh baby it hurts, hurts to be in love
Oh baby it hurts but I do it just because
I walk straight through your mountain
Crawl right under your sea
And if you don't know, know it by now
You're the only one who does this to me
But I'd do it again
Yes I'd do it again

Even when I'm tired and my feelings are hurt
Never lost desire only made things worse
I hope I'm holding out for something good
Cause we're that combination yeah we're the kind that could

Oh baby it hurts, hurts to be in love
Oh baby it hurts but I do it just because
I walk straight through your mountain
Crawl right under your sea
And if you don't know, know it by now
You're the only one who does this to me
But I'd do it again
Yes I'd do it again

LOVE
That's my drug
It goes so deep when I'm in love
LOVE
That's my drug
I walk straight through your mountain, straight through your mountain
Crawl right under your sea, under your sea
And if you don't know, know it by now, you don't know this by now
You're the only one who does this to me, nobody does this to me
But I'd do it again
Yes I'd do it again
And again...again

Monster

They've been calling me the monster
Ever since the day I was born
Never saying huh, don't hurt no-one
Each and every Sunday morn
I rise so strong is that so wrong
I don't mean to devastate
They say

Here come the monster everybody run
Shouting out loud and beating that drum
I'm gigantic, titanic I might cause a panic
Ready or not baby here I come

I am a monster
Full of desire full of love
I am a monster
The one that everyone is so afraid of

They been screaming at the monster
Since they got the fire inside
Every little mistake such a little twist makes
Nobody is satisfied
I rise so strong is that so wrong
I don't mean to devastate
They say

Here come the monster everybody run
Shouting out loud and beating that drum
I'm gigantic, titanic I might cause a panic
Ready or not baby here I come

I am a monster
Full of desire full of love
I am a monster
The one that everyone is so afraid of

Here come the monster everybody run
Shouting out loud and beating that drum
I'm gigantic, titanic I might cause a panic
Ready or not baby here I come

I am a monster
Full of desire full of love
I am a monster
The one that everyone is so afraid of
The one that everyone is so afraid of

Aint That Bad

Ummm I got a sugar pie honey comb,
I got a sunny day honey stick
It's like Saturday honey's home
I like the feeling that it's gonna give

Ride around town with a girl, hair all messed up
Guess what, I've been known not to care
I woke up after two shots of whiskey
Guess what, I don't even see you there
I got a new best friend, has got a ex best friend
That don't want me around
Ride around town with the hope u miss me
But guess what? I'll be with a millionaire

So it ain't that bad, no it ain't that bad without you
Just in case you didn't know
No it ain't that bad, no it ain't that bad without you

Ummm I got a sugar pie honey comb, I got a sunny day honey stick
It's like Saturday honey's home
I like the feeling that it's gonna give
No it ain't that bad, no it ain't that bad without you
Riding upstate with some OA plates A brand new car have I gone too far
Oh not really I just got started Have some pity I'm broken hearted

I got a new best friend, has got a ex best friend
That don't want me around
Ride around town with the hope u miss me
But guess what? I could be a billionaire

So it ain't that bad, no it ain't that bad without you
Just in case you didn't know
No it ain't that bad, no it ain't that bad without you
Just in case you didn't know [x3]

Ummm I got a sugar pie honey comb, I got a sunny day honey stick
It's like Saturday honey's home
I like the feeling that it's gonna give
No it ain't that bad, no it ain't that bad without you
Just in case you didn't know
Just in case you didn't know
Just in case you didn't know
No it ain't that bad, no it ain't that bad without you

All The Way Home

Oh Oh oh oh oh oh ohh oh oh oh oh oh ohh oh Oh Oh oh oh oh oh ohh
These headlights these spotlights
Shooting down the road
What's shaking you're baking honey I'm coming home
Don't start it that party, honey please wait for me
I'm swerving taking these curves doing bout 70
Honey please wait for me, sugar can you wait for me

I got lightening in my eyes and a fire down below
And a shaking in my thighs that I can't control
And if I push it any harder I'm gonna run right off the road
Honey please take me all the way home

And then we'll sing
Oh Oh oh oh oh oh ohh oh oh oh oh oh ohh oh Oh Oh oh oh oh oh ohh
Take me all the way home

My pedal down to the metal can't afford to get tight
I got the scuffs on get a little rough on
Honey till it feel right
I'm gonna take off honey take the brake off
When I break down the door
Your hips slide like a rip tide honey I'm a surfboard
I said honey I'm a surfboard

I got lightening in my eyes and a fire down below
And a shaking in my thighs that I can't control
And if I push it any harder I'm gonna run right off the road
Honey please take me all the way home

And then we'll sing
Oh Oh oh oh oh oh ohh oh oh oh oh oh ohh oh Oh Oh oh oh oh oh ohh
Take me all the way home
Oh Oh oh oh oh oh ohh oh oh oh oh oh ohh oh Oh Oh oh oh oh oh ohh
Take me all the way home yeah
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
1 2 3 4
Lightening in my eyes and a fire down below
So honey please
Take me, take me all the way home
Honey take it home now
Oh Oh oh oh oh oh ohh oh oh oh oh ohh oh Oh Oh oh oh oh oh ohh
Take me all the way home
Oh Oh oh oh oh oh ohh oh oh oh oh oh

Well take it home now that's right

Like A Preacher

Are you lying there on the cold dark ground
Your skin and bones are bare you stare without a sound
What is it in your mind that lights the fuse this time
What do you want so bad that you have never had

Could it be dangerous to light the flame and just
Feel the warmth again make it rise again
Remember your last time you tried to let it in
It scorched the walls, torched the halls
And then it melted your skin

Like a preacher save you from the fire
I won't let you burn
Like a preacher gonna lift you higher
I won't let you burn

Oh I won't let you burn

The feelings you repress the thoughts you don't confess
They grow inside the dark make ashes of your heart
You recklessly adore the idols keeping score
But no-one ever wins they just start the game again
You chose the cross you bare and pick the chains you wear
Your heavens in your mind your hells a valentine
Come closer now express this longing so divine
On your knees be blessed let it possess you one more time

I am a sermoniser, an on the street evangeliser
Virtuous and sanctified
You innocence is glorified there's a part that's incomplete
Your hungering is so discrete
Take this now for it's my body a little death can be so godly

Like a preacher save you from the fire
I won't let you burn I'll save you
Come come
Come follow me to the deep inside
Where heaven is love is alive
Come follow me to the deep inside
Where heaven is love is alive

Stranger Road

Take the road to Tonganoxie, just before sun catcher lake
Go past the cemetery oh child please don't make me wait
Cause there's something wrong with what I've done
I haven't got much time
I can't stay in Kansas I've gotta cross the line

So take me down to the Missouri on the way to Arkansas
The devil's in a hurry to see what my mamma saw
Now I'm on the run I've got no other place to go
Except down the stranger road

I walked straight out the back door I covered up my tracks
My poppa thinks it's criminal so I ain't coming back
Cause there's something wrong with what I've done
I haven't got much time
And what I want and what I need
Is all I have in mind

So take me down to the Missouri on the way to Arkansas
The devil's in a hurry to see what my mamma saw
Now I'm on the run I've got no other place to go
Except down the stranger road

Come on come on come on come on
The blood runs hot but the eyes are cold
Driving down the stranger road
Ohhhh The blood runs hot oh but the eyes are cold
Driving down to hell stranger road

So take me down to the Missouri on the way to Arkansas
The devil's in a hurry to see what my mamma saw
Now I'm on the run I've got no other place to go
Except down the stranger road

Except down to stranger road
Come on come on come on come on
Come on come on come on come on
Come on come on come on come on

A Little Bit Of Me

If you believed, if you tried
It could be enough to know you were alive
If you knew the truth it couldn't be denied
It would change the world enough that you might find

That the world goes round and around and around
And everybody walks on common ground
We gotta pull together if we're gonna pull through
There's a little bit of me in a little bit of you
The world goes round and around and round
Everybody feels a little upside down
No need to be afraid of anybody you see
There's a little bit of you in a little bit of me
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah in a little bit of me
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah..... Nah nah

Is it on the skin is it in the love
The things about each other that we're so scared of
You can shake your head you can change your mind
Either way you wake up inside yourself to find

That the world goes round and around and around
And everybody walks on common ground
We gotta pull together if we're gonna pull through
There's a little bit of me in a little bit of you
The world goes round and around and round
Everybody feels a little upside down
No need to be afraid of anybody you see
There's a little bit of you in a little bit of me
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah in a little bit of me
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah..... Nah nah

Oh.... lean to your left or lean to your right
The corner of the room and every soul here tonight
Have a little bit of faith everyone will see
That all the good books in the world agree
There's a little bit of you in a little bit of me

And the world goes round and around and around
And everybody walks on common ground
No need to be afraid of anybody you see
There's a little bit of you oh in a little bit of me
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
In a little bit of me
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
In just a little bit of me
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Oh there's a little bit of you in a little bit of me, in a little bit of me
Come on we're gonna walk on common ground
Just a little bit of me

Who Are You Waiting For

I did not fall when you found me I was face down
My confidence small pushed off the merry go round
Wishes and horses and all the kings' men
Could not put my heart back together again
I'm through with love isn't it clear my friend

You said
Who are you waiting for
You said
Who are you waiting for

Broken again shards of the years that I lost stuck in my skin
And the scares the least of the cost
It's obvious now that I'm damaged goods
Can't seem to find love don't know if I could

You said
You are not wrong just misunderstood

You said
Who are you waiting for
Hmmmm
Who are you waiting for

Now touch me my dear feel the surprise
Give me your hand open your eyes
Waiting for, who are you waiting for

I stand in the aisle I think that I've always known
There in your smile I don't have to go this alone
Here I am come to me now
Lets tell all the world I've found you
And how I've been waiting for...... yes
Who are you waiting for, who are you waiting for
Who are you waiting for

Wherever you go I will go to
Wherever you stay I'll stay with you
To honour and cherish from this day on
My partner in life, my lover my one I've been waiting for
I've been, I've been waiting for you
