    I LOOKED TWICE!

    I walked in, and there he was on the stage
    The right looks, the right size, the right age
    I'm so burned out on good-looking guys
    I won't even let em catch my eyes
    I went to the bar, I got me a beer
    The band started playing, I didn't care
    I changed my mind
    When he started singing his song

    It wasn't love at first sight
    But, thank God, I Looked Twice!
    I looked below the surface
    And I liked what I saw
    I've had my share of tight fitting jeans
    I've had my share of late night scenes
    It wasn't love at first sight
    But I Looked Twice!

    The band took a break, he walked up to me
    He had charm, he had umph, he got me
    He knew just what to say and how to say it
    He said I'm his favorite song and he's gonna play it
    I found out what we've got in common
    A deep-seated need to share good loving
    Now I'm his lady
    And he's my Mister Right

    It wasn't love at first sight
    But, thank God, I Looked Twice!
    I looked below the surface

    I PROMISE (WEDDING SONG)

    I Promise
    To give you all my love
    When things get tough
    I'll never turn my back on you
    I'll be there through the years
    Through thick and thin
    I'll be there until the end

    I Promise
    To live my life for you
    Each and everyday
    I'll always be by your side
    I'll dry away those tears
    Faithful and true
    I'll be there for only you

    They say there are no guarantees
    But you've got one from me

    I Promise
    To give you all my love
    When times get hard
    I'll give you that much more
    I'll be there through the years

    I'll be there until the end

    I'll dry away those tears
    Faithful and true
    I'll be there for only you
    I'll be there for only you

    Default I Need Love

    I NEED LOVE

    If you're looking for a girl to replace your ex
    Cheap thrills, short-term sex
    If you're looking for a way to impress your friends
    Honey, this is where our relationship ends
    I don't need a Mister Universe
    As long as he'll have me for better or for worse
    I don't need a new Romeo, Leonardo DiCaprio
    I Need Love, I Need Love

    If you're looking for a kitten to take under your wing
    A naive, sweet young thing
    If you're looking for a pet to make your protege
    Eliza Doolittle, there's no way
    I don't need a Sermon on the Mount
    I've already heard more than I can count
    I don't need a Ph.D, nutty professor to tutor me
    I Need Love, I Need Love

    I need a loving man, a partner for life
    Shoulder to shoulder, husband and wife
    I need someone when nights are cold
    Someone who'll stay when I grow old

    solo

    If you're looking for a fling, a one-night stand
    Well, keep on looking, you're not my man
    If you're looking for fashion, the latest trend
    Honey, this is where our relationship ends
    I don't need a Mister Universe
    As long as he'll have me for better or for worse
    I don't need a new Romeo, Leonardo DiCaprio
    I Need Love, I Need Love
    I Need Love, I Need Love

    Default I Feel So Country

    I FEEL SO COUNTRY

    I eat supper every night at the Cracker Barrel
    When I step out, I dress in western apparel
    An American girl, just like the 4th of July
    I Feel So Country I could die

    I know every song Shania ever sang
    I can't resist that good old country twang
    I wave my flag every 4th of July
    I Feel So Country I could die

    Well, I'm looking for a man who's looking for a girl
    Who knows just how she feels
    Looking for a man who's looking for a girl
    Who's looking for something real

    I grew up on a farm, I learned how to *** and plow
    Come on, city boy, I'll show you how
    When I love a man, I never say goodbye
    I Feel So Country I could die
    Oh yeah

    Default Hard Earned Love

    HARD EARNED LOVE

    I've come across the desert in the burning sun
    I've been the lonely one
    My heart's beating rhythm
    My soul's on fire tonight
    I got 'em standing in line
    I can have my choice
    But you're the one I'm thinking of
    I'm really, really ready
    I'm ready for some Hard Earned Love

    Been working all week just to earn my pay
    Living for Saturday
    Another Friday night
    Stepping out with a man like you
    I'll wear my shortest skirt
    My high heel shoes
    Pick me up at 8
    I'm really, really ready
    I'm ready for some Hard Earned Love

    Drinking, dancing, making the rounds
    Every honky tonk in town
    I can't wait til you take me home
    And we're all alone

    solo

    I've been too long on that assembly line
    I just wanna let go
    My heart's beating rhythm
    My soul's on fire tonight
    I got 'em standing in line
    I can have my choice
    But you're the one I'm thinking of
    I'm really really ready
    I'm ready for some Hard Earned Love
    I'm really really ready

    Default I Saw A Woman (girl song)

    Teddy bears, Barbie dolls
    Daddy's girl, mamma's pride
    It seemed like forever
    A cheerleader skipping school
    Summer fun, boy friends
    Growing up together

    I was so happy then
    The future seemed years away
    I was so unprepared
    For what I saw today
    I looked in the mirror this morning
    And I Saw A Woman

    Looking for a job
    Looking for a man
    Where will I find him
    Marriage vows, a mortgaged home
    Babies of my own
    How will we make it

    I've got to struggle now
    Just to survive
    But I know I'll find a way
    I'll stay alive
    I looked in the mirror this morning
    And I Saw A Woman

    My mother was a liberated lady
    So what does that make me
    I wanna do my part
    But I also wanna be free

    solo

    I've got to struggle now
    Just to survive
    But I know I'll find a way
    I'll stay alive
    I looked in the mirror this morning
    And I Saw A Woman

    Default When I Was A Boy

    When I was A Boy
    I played out in the yard
    Baseball with my friends
    At night, we'd watch the stars
    These were the innocent years
    Filled with a simple joy
    Life was a carnival
    When I Was A Boy

    When I Was A Boy
    I did my time in school
    Dreaming of the girls
    A bored, romantic fool
    Running as fast as I could
    Making a path through the woods
    Saturday morning
    I was feeling good

    It seems so long ago
    Where it went I don't know
    But one thing I know
    Is when it's gone, it's gone
    It's slipping into the past
    They say that nothing can last
    And memories even fade
    With passing time

    When I Was A Boy
    My father drove a truck
    My sister had a dog
    My mother packed our lunch
    These were the innocent years
    Filled with a simple joy
    Life was a carnival
    When I Was A Boy
    Music and laughter
    When I Was A Boy

    Default Stockholm Lady

    I was a private in the army
    On a two week leave in Sweden
    I met a Swedish lady
    On a bus outside of town

    I listened to her tell her story
    Then I guess I told her mine
    I spent the next two weeks
    With this Stockholm Lady so fine

    I've never known such peace
    As she lay there in my arms
    Her blue eyes seemed to speak
    Those Scandinavian charms

    I got my discharge in my hand
    My plane is about to land
    I'm going back
    To my Stockholm Lady again

    Default A Man Needs A Woman

    I got my job
    I make enough to get by
    My bills are paid
    I own my own place
    But every night when I come home
    I look around and I'm alone
    A Man Needs A Woman

    I got some friends
    We hang out together
    It's baseball games
    Karaoke bars
    But when they turn out the lights
    And you've got to face the night
    A Man Needs A Woman

    This loneliness surrounds me
    As I rise from my bed
    The Waffle House
    Has become my second home
    They turn around to look
    As I walk through the door
    They're desperate
    I see it in their eyes

    The sun comes up
    I tell myself I must go on
    Who could she be?
    This woman that I need
    This emptiness inside me
    Is more than I can stand
    A Man Needs A Woman
