"Wasted" by Brenda Carsey
Why didn’t I see, you didn’t wanna be with me
You went away a long, long time ago
You wanted me but you couldn’t protect my soul
You went away a long, long time ago
And I feel your wasted
You know you fucked me again
And I feel your fake and
You know you’re stuck in the middle
Why didn’t I see, you didn’t wanna be with me
You went away a long, long time ago
You wanted me but you couldn’t protect my soul
You went away a long, long time ago
And I feel your wasted
You know you fucked me again
And I feel your fake and
You know you’re stuck in the middle

"Yellow Bellied Man" by Brenda Carsey
Baby, where has your love gone
It’s been gone for so long,
It’s been gone for so long
Tell me what’s wrong
Tell me, where has your love gone
It’s been gone for so long,
It’s been gone for so long
Tell me what’s wrong
And you walked out before you said goodbye
And you drove off to meet horizon’s line
You didn’t look back, only eyed me in your mirror
Tail between your legs as you raced on in fear
Oh, you went away before you shoulda gone
You were around so long
And I know that you love me
Our energy flows from soul to soul
So why’d you have to go?
Do you recall how you’d look in my eye?
Your hand so soft, slowly creeping up my thigh
The jokes, the laughs, we always got each other
Kind man, big heart, best friend, puzzle piece lover
Oh, you went away before you shoulda gone
You were around so long
And I know that you love me
Our energy flows from soul to soul
So why’d you have to go?

"Grow" by Brenda Carsey
I’m sorry to you for the things I do
I know that I’m in your face and I can be rude
Oh this attitude I’ve had my whole life
But as years pass by I become more aware and I try
Take in the world around me and know
Not to stagnate myself but instead grow
Oh intolerance is ignorance
Open your mind, don’t end up frozen in time
Pop that bubble encompassing your head
Become more aware and try
Take in the world around you and know
Not to stagnate yourself but instead grow
Take in the world around you and know
Not to stagnate yourself but instead grow
This is just a first hand narrative
Don’t take it from me, you’ll find, you’ll find out as you live
Take advice, especially from you friends
Become more aware and try
Take in the world around you and know
Not to stagnate yourself but instead grow
Take in the world around you and know
Not to stagnate yourself but instead grow

"Stuck On You" by Brenda Carsey
Oh my, what do I do?
I’m so tired of the color blue
Been so long since I’ve smiled in the mirror
Bored of everything around me to
Every time I feel good you keep coming around
Every time I look up you make me look back downYou know you’re no good and you poison my soul
But when I turn to leave, I can’t let go
Oo, I’m stuck on you
Oh no, I’m stuck on you
Oh dear, what’s gotten into me?
I should be thankful someone loves me
I have someone to hold me through the night
Oh but no, no no, he hasn’t done that lately
Every time I feel good you keep coming around
Every time I look up you make me look back down
You know you’re no good and you poison my soul
But when I turn to leave, I can’t let go
Oo, I’m stuck on you
Oh no, I’m stuck on you
Oh brain stirs with emotion
Should I turn and walk away or give devotion?
Oh, it’s what you do to me
I’m in a haze, I can’t see
Gotta stop fooling around
I wish I could share this with my own man
Yah he’s got a good heart but he don’t understand
What it means to accept and nurture a soul
Oh I wish I could leave, but I can;’t let go
Oo, I’m stuck on you
Oh no, I’m stuck on you
Oh I’m stuck on you
Oh I’m stuck on you
Stuck on you
Stuck on you
Oh I’m stuck on you

Her

"Her" by Brenda Carsey
Lazy gray, what’d you do today?Did you sit awake inside all day?
Closed mouth, closed eyes
One thing only on your mind
One speck of flesh and one flash of pearl
From her, your world, your girl
Hear her tone, you love her clothes
Her toes, her glow, her soul
If you could only see the light shining before your eyes
And realize that light is me
If you could only see the light shining before your eyes
And realize that light is me
Lazy eyes, don’t be surprised
Can’t keep on telling yourself lies
Forehead folds, wrinkled nose
Stuck in thought waiting to grow
Then one glimpse of lace and one salty taste
Of her, you world unfurls
Feel your prize, you love her size
Her thighs, her eyes, her cries
If you could only see the light shining before your eyes
And realize that light is me
If you could only see the light shining before your eyes
And realize that light is me
If you could only see the light shining before your eyes
And realize that light is me
If you could only see the light shining before your eyes
And realize that light is me
Oh I’d give you my love if you give me your heart
Wrapped up with a bow in a box
I’d give you my love if you give me your heart
Be patient and true from the start

"You Still Are" by Brenda Carsey
This is it, this is all we know
Surrounded by fools, how can one expect to grow?
Keep making your judgements, keep putting on a show
Keep separating yourself, how can you expect to grow?
So much ignorance, no reason or rhyme
Oh so many wasted days, we drank away our prime
Dreams and ambitions crushed by the hands of time, yah
Oh like said, dreams and ambitions crushed by the hands of time
But look into my eyes
You see that you still
You still are my child
Oh you still
You still are
Another rainy day in that head of yours
You’re drowning in your thoughts, you can’t wake any more
Oh, stop singling yourself out, it’s time you figure out
We’re all one, so baby come on!
Oh you still
You still are my child
Oh you still
You still are
You still are
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, ohh
Yeah, oh my daddy, yeah, oh my sugar
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, oh my brother, yeah, oh my sister
Yeah, Ooo
This is it, this is all we know
Surrounded by fools, how can one expect to grow?
Oh, oh oh

"S.O.B." by Brenda Carsey
Hey there boy you're kind of cute
Come over here, I've got good news
I'm gonna let you walk and hold my hand
Then maybe we'll be more than friends
Or not
You can take me out for food
And then play your games and act real smooth
Or not
Then after that we'll get in your car
And drive to the hills and put it in park
And maybe you'll be a lucky guy
When you go in for a touching try
Or not
Oh baby, can't you see, that I am a lovely gal but I'm an S.O.B.
But if you give me a try, maybe you'll be around long enough to see me cry
Oh lovely, it's plane to see, I'm a little bit, little bit crazy
First date done and all is fine
I kinda like you gonna make you mine
And if you treat me like a gem divine
You might get to taste this apple pie
Or not
I like you and you like me
And maybe we can start a family
Or not
Patience, slow, I'll let you know
What's the rush and where you got to go?
Make me blush and make me moan
OK sweet daddy, come on home
Oh yah
Oh baby, can't you see, that I am a lovely gal but I'm an S.O.B.
But if you give me a try, maybe you'll be around long enough to see me cry.
Oh lovely, it's plane to see, I'm a little bit, little bit crazy
Hey cutie pie I see your grin
She must have gone and let you in
You must have got yourself a win
Participating in some sin, well
Poor your girl a glass of gin
Let's raise our glass and toast our kin
Rewind and do it all again
Young man, sweet lover, excepting friend
Oh baby, can't you see, that I am a lovely gal but I'm an S.O.B.
But if you give me a try, maybe you'll be around long enough to see me cry.
Oh lovely, it's plane to see, I'm a little bit, little bit crazy
And I like it like that
