- Jo Dee Messina - "I Wish"
(Ed Hill and Tommy Lee James)
It's not easy saying this to you.
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
But boy before you go,
I want you to know:
I wish you strength,
When times are hard.
Oh, I wish with all my heart you find what you're looking for.
I wish you joy,
I wish you peace,
And that every star you see's within your reach.
And I wish you still loved me.
I wish that things were different; you know that.
But still I'm happy for the times we had.
You mean the world to me,
Oh, baby, please believe.
I wish you strength,
When times are hard.
Oh, I wish with all my heart you find just what you're looking for.
I wish you joy,
I wish you peace,
And that every star you see's within your reach.
And I wish you still loved me.
Oh, losing you is tearing me apart.
But a part of me will be with you,
No matter where you are.
Oh, I wish you strength,
When times are hard.
Oh, I wish with all my heart you find just what you're looking for.
I wish you joy,
I wish you peace,
And that every star you see's within your reach.
And I wish you still loved me.
Oh, I wish you still loved me.
Mmmmmm. Mmmmmm, mmm
- Jo Dee Messina - "Was That My Life"
(Marv Green and Bill Luther)
Ooooh.
I don't want to be the one who's old before their time,
And lose the wonder that I felt as a child.
I can't run this race believing I might lose;
There's still so much to see, and so much left to do.
Yes, I'll fall before I fly,
But no one can say I never tried.
Oh, we just get one ride around the sun,
In this dream of time.
It goes so fast that one day we look back,
And we ask: was that my life?
I close my eyes and think how lucky I have been,
To hold the ones I love and share my dreams with them.
All those sunny days and all those starry skies:
Good morning kisses and sweet goodnights.
Oh, I can't tell them enough,
Just how much that they are loved.
Oh, you just get one ride around the sun,
In this dream of time.
It goes so fast that one day we look back,
And we ask: was that my life?
We just get one ride around the sun,
In this dream of time.
It goes so fast that one day we look back,
And we ask: oh, was that my life?
Ooh, was that my life rollin' on by?
Oooh, rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' on by.
Was that my life?
Ooooh, was that my life?
- JoDee Messina - "My Give A Damn's Busted"
(Joe Diffie, Tony Martin and Tom Shapiro)
Well, you filled up my head with so many lies.
You twisted my heart till somethin' snapped inside.
I'd like to give it one more try,
But my give-a-damn's busted.
You can crawl back home, say you were wrong;
Stand out in the yard and cry all night long.
Well, go ahead and water the lawn:
My give-a-damn's busted.
I really wanna care.
I wanna feel somethin'.
Let me dig a little deeper:.
No, sorry: nothin'.
You can say you've got issues, you can say you're a victim.
It's all your parents fault, after all you didn't pick 'em.
Maybe somebody else has got time to listen:
My give-a-damn's busted.
Well, your therapist says it was all a mistake:
A product of the Prozac an' your co-dependent ways.
So who's your enabler these days?
My give-a-damn's busted.
I really wanna care.
I wanna feel somethin'.
Let me dig a little deeper:.
No, still nothin'.
It's a desperate situation, no tellin' what you'll do.
If I don't forgive you, you say your life is through.
C'mon, gimme somethin' I can use:
My give-a-damn's busted.
Well, I really wanna care.
I wanna feel somethin'.
Let me dig a little deeper:
No, man, sorry.
Just nothin', no
You've really done it this time, ha, ha.
My give-a-damn's busted.
