Little Breakdowns lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

I shouldn't be missin' you;

It makes no sense.

Should be wearin' "I'm-over-you" boots,

An' goin' dancin'.

I'm havin' one of those, 

One of those days;

God knows I've had a few,

But I know it's temporary.

I got a good life now,

But every once in a while,

A little breakdown.

It ain't no good thing,

I'll be drivin' along,

An' hear stories to sing an' get lost,

Yeah, I have to stop,

'Cause I'll get all caught up in the sad.

I have a little breakdown.

I think it's over an' done;

Then I lose control.

But when you're givin' your heart to someone,

It's inevitable.

The first thing you never learn about love,

Is that you never really let it go.

I'm a walkin' contradiction.

Yeah. 

I got a good life now,

But every once in a while,

A little breakdown.

It ain't no big thing,

I'll be drivin' along,

An' hear stories to sing an' get lost,

Yeah, I have to stop,

'Cause I'll get all caught up in the sad.

I have a little breakdown, yeah.

Breakdown.

I have a little breakdown, yeah.

I lose sleep, but hey, 

I can always catch up the next day.

A few tears:

Well everyone needs a good cry now an' then,

Anyway.

Yeah, I got a good life now,

But every once in a while,

A little breakdown.

It ain't no big thing,

I'll be drivin' along,

An' hear stories to sing an' get lost,

Yeah, I have to stop,

'Cause I'll get all caught up in the sad.

I have a little breakdown.

Yeah, a little breakdown.

Oh, I shouldn't be missin' you;

It makes no sense.

Should be wearin' "I'm-over-you" boots,

An' goin' dancin'.

Oh yeah.

All You Need To Know lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

I'd like to sleep in on Saturdays

But I hate to miss the good yard sales

In my dreams I pay a buck for matching lawn chairs

I don't like people who are rude to waitresses

I like to leave a big tip 'cause God knows I've been there

I ain't no angel baby, far from it!

But I never broke a heart, just for the fun of it

That's all you need to know

A little mystery is not so bad

What you don't know won't hurt you, I can promise that

That's all you need to know right now

I used to cruise down on main street

I wished I had my own boyfriend

I like to watch your hands while you're driving

I like the way you smile when no one's watching

I have to catch myself here I go flying

There's so much more... and it's all worth waiting for!

Into You lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

If he doesn't call when he says he'll call;

Or if he doesn't even call at all,

Well, he just might not be that into you. 

If he's too busy to see you on the weekends;

An' he doesn't introduce you to his friends,

Well, he just might not be that into you. 

'Cause if he was he'd be hangin' on your every word.

He'd put away his little black book an' put you first.

He'd bein' doin' double back flips to make it work out. 

If he's a month late for your birthday,

Or if he calls you by another girl's name,

Well, he just might not be that into you. 

'Cause if he was he'd be hangin' on your every word.

He'd put away his little black book an' put you first.

He'd bein' doin' double back flips to make it work out. 

Well, if he says he's not the marryin' type,

An' he only calls you in the middle of the night,

Well, he just might not be that into you. 

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

I got you now,

Whoa hey, yeah.

You gotta listen girl:

If you're not the centre of his world,

He's not that into you,

Hey yeah.

Yeah, 'cause if he was he'd be hangin' on your every word.

He'd put away his little black book an' put you first.

He'd do whatever it takes to make it work out, yeah. 

Well, if he says she's just a friend, like a sister,

Then one day, you see him up an' kiss her.

Well, he just might not be that into you. 

Yeah, you just might wanna find somebody new. 

Oh, that's what I would do, girl if I were you. 

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Find somebody new.

Yeah, he's not that into you. 

Yeah, yeah.

(Find somebody new.)

Yeah, yeah.

(He's not that into you.) 

Girl, find somebody new. 

(Find somebody new.)

You know you gotta find someone who loves everything about you.

(He's not that into you.) 

Somebody: listen now, it's worth it, yeah.

Nothing Good About Lonely lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

I'm starin' out the window,

At a bright an' sunny day.

And even though it's beautiful,

To me, it still looks grey.

The condition of my heart,

Is in a desolate state. 

There's nothin' good about lonely:

It hurts like hell.

And although I've never been down there,

I've felt enough pain to know just as well.

I feel so empty,

Without you here to hold me.

I'm tryin' so hard to be happy.

There's nothin' good about lonely.

I thought a change of scenery,

Would change my point of view.

But even the magical ocean,

Is just another shade of blue.

Now getting out of bed,

Is getting harder to do.

There's nothin' good about lonely:

It hurts like hell.

And although I've never been down there,

I've felt enough pain to know (it) just as well.

I feel so empty,

Without you here to hold me.

An' I'm tryin' so hard to be happy,

But there's nothin' good about lonely.

I'm tryin' so hard to be happy,

But there's nothin' good about lonely.

Got There First lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

I shouldn't be missin' you;

It makes no sense.

Should be wearin' "I'm-over-you" boots,

An' goin' dancin'.

I'm havin' one of those, 

One of those days;

God knows I've had a few,

But I know it's temporary.

I got a good life now,

But every once in a while,

A little breakdown.

Dress Rehearsal lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

Days pass me by just like moments

they're here and then they're gone for good

for good

I work so hard at where I'm going

I wonder what I've missed

I can't remember the last time

I picked up the phone just to talk for hours on end

I've sent a birthday card unbelated

Maybe I should slow it down

Life doesn't wait for us

to get it right day after night

It just goes on when it goes wrong

it goes and then it's gone

So I'm gonna do my best to make the most of it

avoid regrets

take a breath

realize

Time is irreversable

this ain't no dress rehearsal

I've always got a big to do list

oh but there's so much more to do, to see

I want to know that I didn't leave "I love yous" trapped within my heart

There won't always be another day to

say all the things you wanna say

so don't, don't wait for the perfect situation

It will never come around

Life doesn't wait for us

to get it right day after night

It just goes on when it goes wrong

it goes and then it's gone

So I'm gonna do my best to make the most of it

avoid regrets

take a breath

realize

Time is irreversable

this ain't no dress rehearsal

When the show is over

and they lay me down

I wanna be remembered

for the love I spread around

Life doesn't wait for us

to get it right day after night

It just goes on when it goes wrong

it goes and then it's gone

So I'm gonna do my best to make the most of it

avoid regrets

take a breath

realize

Time is irreversable

this ain't no dress rehearsal

This ain't no dress rehearsal

He's Mine lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

Every woman wants, Every woman needs

What everybody thinks is impossible,

Unachievable

A man who is strong, Admits he's wrong

Laughs along

And is up for anything and everything

A lot of heart, Not afraid to try a little

Tenderness

All my friends used to say where you ever

Gonna find a man like this

Well I got him

[Chorus:]

He's Mine

He makes me feel like a real live woman

Inside

Funny how a little love can get you so

High

Can't wait to get my hands on him

Tonight, Tonight

He's mine

The way he looks at me, Across a crowded

Room, Doesn't say a word

Man that moves me, That man loves me

He takes me in his arms, I open up my heart,

It's like the waters part

And it's just him and me, nothing in between

Just when I think it's never gonna get any

Better than this

He touches me tenderly and we melt together

In a long slow kiss

[Repeat Chorus]

Simple Life lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

Da Da Da Da, Da Da Da 

I have wondered this world

Far and wide

I've been all around to the other side

But theres nothing like coming home,

Nothing like coming home

I wanna sit on my front porch

And drink my lemonade

Cut my grass after church every sunday

And Go out saturday night, 

And live the simple life

Wake up in the morning to these fields of gold

Take a long walk down a gravel road

[Chorus]

Spend my days in the sweet sunshine

Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow

Know that I'll always have someone to hold

Oh I wanna live the simple life, yeah

I wanna take a blanket down to the creek

And let the water sing me to sleep

And let go in time

Live the simple life..

Well lately I've seen too many city lights

I wanna go somewhere where i can see the stars at night

[Chorus]

Spend my days in the sweet sunshine

Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow

Know that I'll always have someone to hold, 

Oh I wanna live the simple life, yeah yeah.

[Chorus]

Spend my days in the sweet sunshine

Rock in my swing, and watch my babies grow

Know that I'll always have some, someone to hold,

Oh, Spend my days in the sweet sunshine

Rock in my swing and watch my garden grow,

Know that I'll always have someone to hold

Oh I wanna live the simple life,

Oh I wanna live the simple life.

Da Da Da Da, Da Da Da Da..

Mm That's Right.

Die Of A Broken Heart lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

I keep having these disturbing dreams,

My final days, the end of me,

For some odd reason I get one last wish,

And every time I wish for this...

[Chorus:]

Take me fast or take me slow,

I don't really care how I go.

In the daylight, or in the dark,

Just don't let me die of a broken heart.

The kinda pain that you just can't take,

That sends a strong man to his grave.

There's not a pill that can give you rest,

Or fill that hole deep in your chest.

[Chorus]

Nooooo. 

Yeah, yeah. 

Yeah.

I've been crushed by that hurt before,

There's no way I could take anymore.

If I fell in love and I found it out it would happen again,

I'd say take me now.

[Chorus (x2)]

No, don't let me die of a broken heart.

No.

We Talked lyrics - Carloyn Dawn Johnson

Walls

We never mean to build them so 

Tall

We lay awake and wish that they'd

Fall

But they never go away

They just tower there between us 

'Til there's nothing left to say

Tears

All there is silence and

Tears

Could this really be what we'd 

Feared 

Our perfect love is gone

Just when we thought there was nothing

That could right all our wrong

[Chorus:]

We talked

All night long

And we emptied out our hearts 'til all the hurt was gone

And we laughed

Even though we were mad

And we found out all the problems we had just weren't so bad

We talked

We said our peace

We cleared the air

Tell your mom

Thanks for the prayers

We're not all the way back but

Hey we're getting there

All our friends just can't believe

All this change in you and me

They ask us what we did 

We just smiled and said

[Chorus:]

We talked

All night long

And we emptied out our hearts 'til all the hurt was gone

And we laughed

Even though we were mad

And we found out all the problems we had just weren't so bad

We talked

We talked, we talked

And it felt so good to just talk

God Doesn't Make Mistakes lyrics - Carolyn dawn johnson

A couple inches taller

Another size smaller

A little curl in my hair

Used to wish I was older

Now I wish I was younger

Back when I didn't have a care

Most of the time I am happy with what God gave me

Once in a while I wish that some miracle would change me

[Chorus:]

I'm ok with the way God made me

I have my days but doesn't everybody

It's not always easy for me to believe in myself

But I gotta remember

I'm always gonna be a better me than anyone else

And God doesn't make mistakes

Mama says I'm special

Calls me her little angel

Yeah, I could almost do no wrong

But I trip and stumble

Guess that's what keeps you humble

But I pick myself up and I carry on

I'll never be a flawless model of perfection

Nobody's perfect and I admit I'm no exception

[Chorus:]

I'm ok with the way God made me

I have my days but doesn't everybody

It's not always easy for me to believe in myself

But I gotta remember

I'm always gonna be a better me than anyone else

And God doesn't make mistakes

I'm thankful for the rainy days

They only make the sunshine sweeter

[Chorus:]

I'm ok with the way God made me

I have my days but doesn't everybody

It's not always easy for me to believe in myself

But I gotta remember

I'm always gonna be a better me than anyone else

And God doesn't make mistakes

Squeezin' The Love Outta You lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

I'm not gonna beg you for a little kiss

Love ain't gonna last very long like this

You expect me to make the first move

And even then you never get in the groove

You don't worry about it, but honey I do

You think a little goes a long way

I've had a little more than I can take

[Chorus:]

Well I'm through squeezin' the love outta you

It's like tryin' to get water from a desert dune

Baby, if this is the best you can do

I'm through, squeezin' the love outta you

You must think that I got all the time in the world

I can tell you right now, boy you got the wrong girl

I've waited long enough

For you to act like you are in love

I guess it's finally come down to giving up

I spent too much time holdin' on tight

With both of my hands and all of my might

[Chorus:]

Well I'm through squeezin' the love outta you

It's like tryin' to get water from a desert dune

Baby, if this is the best you can do

I'm through, squeezin' the love outta you

[Chorus:]

Well I'm through squeezin' the love outta you

It's like tryin' to get water from a desert dune

Baby, if this is the best you can do

I'm through, squeezin' the love outta you

It's like tryin' to get toothpaste

Out of an empty tube

Tryin' to find a blizzard down in Baton Rouge

Your love's slower

Than honey drippin' from a spoon

I'm through squeezin' the love outta you

Head Over High Heels lyrics - Carolyn dawn johnson

I've fallen, yeah I've fallen before

I thought I knew exactly what was in store

When I met him, got more than I bargained for

I'm not overstating, over exaggerating

Horsing around or playing

When I'm saying I've...

[Chorus:]

Gone off the deepest end 

Not jumping, diving in

He's a perfect 10 times 10 times 10

And I'm head over heels

No, I'm head over high heels

I'm dreaming, in colors I've never seen

My heart is bursting wide at the seams

I've taken my smiling to the extremes

All my friends are wondering 

They think I'm up to something

I say "Oh it's nothing"

I'm just in love and I've...

[Chorus:]

Gone off the deepest end 

Not jumping, diving in

He's a perfect 10 times 10 times 10

And I'm head over heels

No, I'm head over high heels

I'm not happy,

I'm ecstatic

I'm not a lunatic

Just a fanatic

You might think I'm overdramatic 

Not me

[Chorus (repeat twice):]

Gone off the deepest end 

Not jumping, diving in

He's a perfect 10 times 10 times 10

And I'm head over heels

No, I'm head over high heels

My Little Secret lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

I've been told that I'm not a good liar

And I wear all my thoughts on my face

When he's near its like 

I'm on fire

Yeah, I'd like to stay

But I'm afraid I might give it away

[Chorus:]

My little secret

I got it bad, yeah

I'm in deep

He doesn't know it yet

My heart is dying, trying to speak

It's getting so much harder to keep 

My little secret

Do my best to be brief, keep my distance

While I wait for a light to turn green

If he said what are doing later, for instance

Then I'd let him see

But 'till then it's gonna have to be

[Chorus:]

My little secret

I got it bad, yeah

I'm in deep

He doesn't know it yet

My heart is dying, trying to speak

It's getting so much harder to keep 

My little secret

Shh, don't tell

You don't know how bad i want this

Shh, don't tell

If I had enough guts I'd just go for it

Yeah, I'd like to stay 

But I'm afraid I might give it away

[Chorus:]

My little secret

I got it bad, yeah

I'm in deep

He doesn't know it yet

My heart is dying, trying to speak

It's getting so much harder to keep 

My little secret

I got it bad, yeah

I'm in deep

He doesn't know it yet

My heart is dying, trying to speak

It's getting so much harder to keep 

My little secret

Just Another Plane lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

To some it's just another plane

Rollin' up to the gate

It landed in the pourin' rain

Twenty minutes late

Stoppin' right on the mark

Yeah, they do it every day 

It's just another boring Monday morning

And just another plane

[Chorus:]

I hear the sound of those big jet engines

Shut down and fade away

The time it takes to open that door is just insane

There's someone on board I'm waiting for 

It's so much more to me

Than just another plane

This can be such a lonely place

I remember I was standing here

Tears streaming down my face

Watched him disappear

Nobody looked me in the eye

They all walked away

Everybody cries in airports

It's just another plane

[Chorus:]

I hear the sound of those big jet engines

Shut down and fade away

The time it takes to open that door is just insane

There's someone on board I'm waiting for 

It's so much more to me

Than just another plane

They say if you love someone

You gotta set 'em free and let 'em fly away

And if he was really yours then he'll come back someday

There's someone on board I'm waiting for 

And he's come home to me

That's not just another plane

To some it's just another plane

Rollin' up to the gate

Life As We Know It lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

I wake up with the sun on my face

On the edge of the bed, babe you're taking up all the space

I roll you over then I give you a kiss

Meet you in the middle

That's where all the fun is

[Chorus:]

Life as we know it

It's going good 

That's an understatement

It's going better than I ever thought it could

Never been so happy, so content

Oh, I wish I could freeze this moment

Life as we know it... now

You're doing dishes if I'm cooking the meal

We got an understanding, and it's a pretty good deal

We read our books at each end of the couch

No conversation needed

To stay in touch in this house

[Chorus:]

Life as we know it

It's going good 

That's an understatement

It's going better than I ever thought it could

Never been so happy, so content

Oh, I wish I could freeze this moment

Life as we know it... now

I whisper... I love you

You tell me... you love me too

It's so easy, so simple

I wonder why we didn't think of this before

[Chorus:]

Life as we know it

It's going good 

That's an understatement

It's going better than I ever thought it could

Never been so happy, so content

Oh, I wish I could freeze this moment

Life as we know it... now

Oh, I wish I could freeze this moment

Right... now

I'll Let You Go lyrics - Carolyn Dawn Johnson

We drove all night, and half the next day

Up through the mountains to the open space

Got through registration, searched for my dorm,

I was so thankful he'd been there before.

He carried my boxes, he helped me unpack

Told old college stories until I laughed

But the tears started falling as we ran out of time,

And I did all I could to avoid his goodbye.

He said I wish I could stay here,

It's hard on me too. 

But I know that there's so much that you've got to do,

So...

I'll let you go,

You can stop crying.

Oh it's not the end of the world,

Girl you know, you're gonna be fine.

Give me a hug and let me see you smile,

You know that I'll see you in a little while,

So I'll let you go.

I made it through school, I made some big plans,

Yeah, I chased my dreams in some far away land,

But everything changed when I got the call,

And chasing those dreams meant nothing at all.

I told him I'm gonna stay here,

And take care of you.

He said that's the last thing that I'd let you do,

But...

I'll let you go,

You can stop crying.

Oh it's not the end of the world,

Girl you know, I'm gonna be fine.

Give me a hug and let me see you smile,

You know that I'll see you in a little while,

So I'll let you go.

With the wings that he gave me,

I learned how to fly,

One day they brought me back to be by his side,

I knew he was holding on for me,

But I couldn't say the words,

The ones that would set him free,

The last thing I heard,

he said...

I'll let you go.
