Love Me Like That - Michelle Branch

Well you stole my heart
And I'll get it back.
But look me in the eye, babe.
Tell me why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.

Well I've walked this world
Five times or more.
And after all this walking, babe
Still got me crawlin' on the floor.
Crawlin' on the floor.

And I know
This world keeps on turning.
Keeps me yearning.

(Chorus)
How can you turn and walk away?
Pretending everything's okay.
How can you turn your back?
Tell me why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.

Well I thought you listened,
But I'm shattered like broken glass.
Well I thought that we'd be different, babe.
Yeah I thought that we would last.
I thought that we would last.

And I know
This world keeps on spinnin'.
Every minute that you're in it.

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Love me or leave me, baby
But don't lead me on.
With lovin' like yours,
Believe me baby,
I'm better off
I'm better off alone.

Well I was your gypsy
Throwin' diamonds at your feet.
Driftin' round you like a satellite
I gave you everything you need.
Everything you need.

And I know
This world keeps on turning.
Keeps me yearning and yearning.

(Chorus)

How could you just break away?
Why can't you find the words to say?
Love is something you work at.
Tell me why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.
Why you love me like that.

How can you throw us away
Look at what you lost and
Now everything is shades of grey
And now you're pushin' me away
Say all the things you need to say
I thought we were goin' all the way
Play all the games you wanna play
Slowly that we just fade away.

Wedding Day - Rosie Thomas

so much for love,
guess i've been wrong
but it's all right,
'cuz i'm moving on
i've got my car all packed with cassette tapes
and sweaters and loose change and cheap cigarettes
and i'm gonna drive thru the hills with my hand out
the window and sing till i run out of words.
i'm gonna stop at every truck stop,
make small talk with waiters and truck driving men.
i'm gonna fall asleep in the back seat
w/ noone around but me and my friends

it's gonna be so great
it's gonna be just like my wedding day,
yeah yeah,

i've had enough of love,
it feels good to give up
so good to be good to myself
and i'm gonna get on the highway with no destination
and plenty of visions i mind
and i'm gonna drive to the ocean,
go skinny dipping
blow kisses to venus and mars
i'm gonna stop at every bar and flirt the cowboys in front their girlfriends

it's gonna be so great
it's gonna be just like my wedding day,
yeah

so much for love,
i guess i've been wrong
but it's all right cuz i'm moving on
i'm gonna drive over hills, over mountains, and canyons
and boys that keep bringin me down
i'm gonna drive under skyline and sunshine,
drink good wine in vineyards
and get asked to dance
i'm gonna be carefree and let nothing pass me by, never ever ever again
it's gonna be so great
it's gonna be so great
it's gonna be just like my wedding day
