I wrote this song for my mama. She never got to hear it, a big regret in my life. Everytime I sing it, I think of all that she did for me and my four brothers - James, Dezo, Ronnie and Michael. We are who we are because of her. She is my angel now...... The Hand That Rocked My Cradle I heard my grandma tell my mama when I was just a girl The hand that rocks a cradle rules the world She said you gotta do what must be done Don't you sit around and wait for nobody to come Hold your head up high, raise these babies right Let 'em know their loved, tuck 'em in every night No matter what the circumstances do your best The good Lord up above will take care of the rest
Okay so you go into a bar alone and you just get tired of the same ol' same ol, ya' know This song is about that........ Could you do me a favor? Come up with something new. Say something meaningful Say something that sounds true I saw you walking over here 'Cause I'm sitting all by myself But, I'll just get back to it, 'less you're offering something Chorus You got to tell me something Tell me something that I haven't heard before Why don't you talk to me and make me want you Talk to me and make me want you more And I might just go with you tonite I might just let you hold me tight, but you got to tell me something If you want to get to know me, I've got a few demands Start with some intelligence, use your head and not your hands If that's why you came out tonite, try the lady next to me She looks like she's working, you should check and see Chorus Bridge I just need to believe it's me you want to know If anyone will do, then you have got to go You got to tell me something, tell me something We can talk about religion or maybe politics We can talk about the evening news Review the latest flicks But here's a word of warning If you rock that same ol' stuff You can keep it to yourself because I've heard enough Chorus
I got even with you today and it didn’t feel good Went out dancing with somebody else just like I said I would When he looked at me, it wasn’t you And in a second I knew I’d rather be fighting with you than happy with somebody new What does that say about me, I know I oughta’ be through There’s a whole lot of men, why did I have to chose you Whenever I see you, my heart skips a beat, I can’t deny that it’s true I’d rather be fighting with you than happy with somebody new I’ve tried many times to say my final goodbyes Oh but I keep coming back, I just one more look in your eyes Unhappy together, Unhappy apart, oh what am I gonna’ do I’d rather be fighting with you than happy with somebody new I know I should find someone else to take your place Oh but all I remember is the first time I saw your face I gave you my heart a long time ago, and it’s so hard to let go Cause I gave you my heart such a long time ago, and baby you know it’s true I’d rather be fighting with you than happy with somebody new
