Lucky Lyrics – Marc Broussard

I think it's a miracle
that you're layin' here, right by my side.
Someone so beautiful.
Long brown hair and your pretty green eyes.
Maybe I've done something along the way.
Sure seems someone's smiling down on me.
And I'll never have to look for love again.

So lucky I found you.
So happy I'm with you.
And honey I know that there's no mistakin' I'm better with you.
And I'm grateful, grateful, grateful I got lucky with you.

Sometimes it takes a while
and other times it comes naturally.
But I took one look at you
I knew that you were meant for me.
You know that I'm not gonna walk away.
Be here tomorrow just like today.
And I'll never have to look for love again.

So lucky I found you.
So happy I'm with you.
Oh baby I know, there's no mistakin' I'm better with you.
And I'm grateful, grateful, grateful I got lucky with you.

It's such a simple thing,
but it's so beautiful
that you're mine, I'm yours.

I am so lucky I found you.
So happy I'm with you.
Oh baby I know that there's no mistakin' I'm better with you
And I'm grateful, grateful, grateful

So lucky I found you.
So happy I'm with you.
Oh honey I know, there's no mistakin' I'm better with you
And I'm grateful, grateful, grateful I got lucky with you.

Only Everything Lyrics – Marc Broussard

I love your body
and the way you move your hips.
Your lips are honey.
You're a candy flavored kiss.
Baby you're sweet like a Sunday afternoon.
I'm goin' crazy cause I'm crazy over you.
Woo, woo, woo
Let's go to Vegas and we'll make love
in a heart shaped hot tub baby.
So tell you're momma that the games up
this is real love.
Let me tell ya now.

[Chorus]
What you are to me is
only everything.
Everything baby.
What you are to me is
only everything.
So listen honey.
Let's sit under the apple tree
and don't say anything.
Kiss until the mornin'
cause what you are to me is
only everything.
Everything baby.

Don't wanna wake up in the morning without you.
Go back to bed
so I can dream about you.
Look at the clock
like I can't wait till you get home.
I love to hear your message playin' on my telephone.

[Chorus]
What you are to me is
only everything.
Everything baby.
What you are to me is
only everything.
So listen honey.
Let's sit under the apple tree
and don't say anything.
Kiss until the mornin'
cause what you are to me is
only everything.
Everything baby.

Oh you are
the only
one who can make me feel the
way that I
feel for you
No one can ever replace
the way you are.

Oh, oh, oh,
Everything. Everything.
Oh, oh, oh,
Everything. Everything.

[Chorus]
What you are to me is
only everything.
Everything baby.
What you are to me is
only everything.
So listen honey.
Let's sit under the apple tree
and don't say anything.
Kiss until the mornin'
cause what you are to me is
only everything.
Everything baby.

Oh, you're everything.
(Oh, oh, oh everything, everything)
Baby you're everything.
(Oh, oh, oh, everything, everything)
You're only everything.
Baby you're everything.
(Oh, oh, oh, everything, everything)
Yes indeed, you're everything
(Oh, oh, oh, everything, everything)
What you are is everything.

Baby you're everything.

Cruel Lyrics – Marc Broussard

You don't seem to mind spendin' my money
We only hang out when you have time
If this is a joke, it's no longer funny
Who do you think I am
I'm trying to understand
so I got ask you

[Chorus]
Why did you wanna keep me believin'
you are feelin'
something we'll never be
I heard you laughin' while I'm leaving
It's bad enough I've been the fool
So why you gotta, why you gotta be cruel
Why you gotta be cruel

Girl I thought by now the games would be over
But it's safe to say I've never been so wrong
You could've saved us time if you'd just said never
They say loves not fair
No, I shouldn't care
But I got to ask you

[Chorus]
Why did you wanna keep me believin'
you are feelin'
something we'll never be
I heard you laughin' while I'm leaving
It's bad enough I've been the fool
So why you gotta, why you gotta be cruel
Why you gotta be cruel

I'm lookin'
for somethin'
someone who can give a little more to nothin'
Let's call this what it really is
Baby, I'm done
Baby, I'm done askin'

[Chorus]
Why did you wanna keep me believin'
you are feelin'
something we'll never be
I heard you laughin' while I'm leaving
It's bad enough I've been the fool
Why you gotta be so cruel

[Repeat Chorus]

Yes Man Lyrics – Marc Broussard

The other day we were in the yard
We had a fight and you put up your guard
You said your peace and the way it should be
I could've pleased but that ain't me
You know that I'm a man that speaks my mind
A little rough here and there is fine
But lately we've been goin' round and round
Feels like you always want the higher ground
I'm getting tired so can you be straight with me

[Chorus]
Is there something that you want me to say
Are you trying to make me see it your way
Cause there's one thing I need to understand
Do you want my love?
Do you want my love?
Or do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?

Its always easier to agree
But would you lay down if you were me
Can you respect it when I speak my mind
Cause true conviction is hard to find
It doesn't matter who's right or wrong
Admitting either way is just as strong
Eating words can be food for the soul
Digging your heels will put you deep in a hole
I'm getting tired so can you be straight with me

[Chorus]
Is there something that you want me to say
Are you trying to make me see it your way
Cause there's one thing I need to understand
Do you want my love?
Do you want my love?
Or do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?
Do you want a yes man?

I gotta mind and it's all my own
I hope they write it on my headstone
Here lies a man that said what he meant
A heart of gold and a head of cement

I'm getting tired so can you be straight with me

[Chorus]
Is there something that you want me to say
Are you trying to make me see it your way
Cause there's one thing I need to understand
Do you want my love?

Is there something that you want me to say
Are you trying to make me see it your way
Cause there's one thing I need to understand
Do you want my love? [Repeat 4x]
Or do you want a yes man
Do you want a yes man
Do you want a yes man
Do you want a yes man

Let It All Out Lyrics – Marc Broussard

You say the words but there's something more
You wanna let go but you're still not sure
Don't keep what hurtin' you away from the light
I don't want anything between us tonight

[Chorus]
So let it all out
Say what you're feelin'
Let it all out
I'm here if you're cryin'
We'll find every answer if we can be free
Oh, so let it all out
Say everything to me
Say everything to me

Take all the honesty that silence can steal
Let's find each other in a love that's real
It breaks my heart to see you fight on your own
Oh, as long as I'm right here baby
You're not alone

[Chorus]
So let it all out
Say what you're feelin'
Let it all out
I'm here if you're cryin'
We'll find every answer if we can be free
Oh, so let it all out
Say everything to me
Say everything to me

Let's pull the curtains down
Cause we're strong enough to see
How the words we don't say
Build a wall between you and me

So let it all out
Say what you're feelin'
Let it all out
I'm here if you're cryin'

[Chorus]
So let it all out
Say what you're feelin'
Let it all out
I'm here if you're cryin'
We'll find every answer if we can be free
Oh, so let it all out
Say everything to me
Say everything to me

Oh when you're feeling tired, feeling tired
I'll be right there, right there

Emily Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Why won't you give me the time of day
Tell me the reasons that you run away
Did I do something
Cause I'm so confused
Feels like you want me but you're afraid
So tell me what you want me to do

[Chorus]
Oh Emily
Don't be mean to me
I'm just trying to find a way to your heart
Oh Emily
Will I ever be
the one you call when you are all alone in your bed
the one that you try but you can't get out of your head
Emily, oh Emily
Don't be mean to me

You're doin' things that are hard to read
Oh why are you fighting the chemistry
Is there's something that's in your past
that someone hurt you so bad
I just wanna set you free
So tell me what you want me to do

[Chorus]
Oh Emily
Don't be mean to me
I'm just trying to find a way to your heart
Oh Emily
Will I ever be
the one you call when you are all alone in your bed
the one that you try but you can't get out of your head
Emily, oh Emily
Don't be mean to me

I think we might have a chance at something
Don't try to tell me that you're not feeling it
So why don't you just let me in

[Chorus]
Oh Emily
Don't be mean to me
I'm just trying to find a way to your heart
Oh Emily
Will I ever be
the one you call when you are all alone in your bed
the one that you try but you can't get out of your head
When you've done it all and you decide you want me instead
Emily, oh Emily
Don't be mean to me
Don't be mean to me

Oh Emily
Don't you be mean to me
Oh Emily
Don't be mean to me

Our Big Mistake Lyrics – Marc Broussard

It's been so long since I kissed your lips
I still think about that day
Looking back
at old photographs
Baby is it wrong for me to say
That I don't feel too strong
I feel weak
I'm still here all alone
And when I fall asleep

[Chorus]
I see you when I close my eyes
And baby you're right next to me
holding me
I feel you when I see the sun rise
I'm wondering where you could be
Cause everything has gone away
And now I'm trying so hard to make it
But I still think that saying goodbye was
Our big mistake

The scent of you
still on your pillow
Makes me think I'm holding you
When the morning comes
I wish you were there
to wake me up the way you do
So will you pick up the phone
so I can hear you speak
I'm still here all alone
and every night I fall asleep

[Chorus]
I see you when I close my eyes
And baby you're right next to me
holding me
I feel you when I see the sun rise
I'm wondering where you could be
Cause everything has gone away
And now I'm trying so hard to make it
But I still think that saying goodbye was
Our big mistake

Oh, we will both played a part
with all the things that we've done wrong
I'm not trying to ignore
but a part of me is gone
And I don't wanna feel this way anymore

[Chorus]
I see you when I close my eyes
And baby you're right next to me
I feel you when I see the sun rise
I'm wondering where you could be
Cause everything has gone away
And now I'm trying so hard to make it
But I still think that saying goodbye was
Our big mistake

Bleeding Heart Lyrics – Marc Broussard

You're my affliction
You say to leave you alone
You're a contradiction
A flower growing in stone
Your pressure seems so high
I'm starting to wonder why it is

Listen, now is it so hard
to let a little bit go
Trying to hide the battle scars
but they're starting to show
Beating me like a drum
making me wanna run from you

[Chorus]
But your bleeding heart
is gonna hurt you
Your bleeding heart
is gonna wear you down
You better say goodbye
or stop the madness
of your bleeding heart
Oh, of your bleeding heart

Can you slow down
Take a second to breathe
You wanna burn it to the ground
but you're burnin' me
Do you like to feel the pain
cause you think I'm always taking aim at you

[Chorus]
But your bleeding heart
is gonna hurt you
Your bleeding heart
is gonna wear you down
You better say goodbye
or stop the madness
of your bleeding heart
Oh, of your bleeding heart

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Now let me be straight with you
You look cute when you're mad
But I'm gettin' black and blue
Haven't been that bad
It don't have to be this way
Do I always have to pay for everything

[Chorus]
But your bleeding heart
is gonna hurt you
Your bleeding heart
is gonna wear you down
You better say goodbye
or stop the madness
of your bleeding heart
Oh, of your bleeding heart

Eye On The Prize Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Thinkin' back on my younger years
When it was fairy tales and childhood schemes
I remember watching my daddy play
He was the hero of all my dreams
I said 'Daddy wanna be in a working band'
'Daddy wanna be the best I can'
And he said

[Chorus]
Keep your eye on the prize
Keep your eye on the prize
One day you'll find there's a light
and it shines for you

Na, all my dreams of yesterday
are coming back through the eyes of my son
Sit back and I watch him play
Realize that his life's just begun
When he said 'Daddy wanna be in a working band'
'Daddy wanna be the best I can'
I said

[Chorus]
Keep your eye on the prize
Keep your eye on the prize
One day you'll find there's a light
and it shines for you

Thinkin' back on my younger years
When it was fairy tales and childhood schemes
I remember watching my daddy play
He was the hero of all my dreams
I said 'Daddy wanna be in a working band'
'Daddy wanna be the best I can'

[Chorus]
Keep your eye on the prize
Keep your eye on the prize
Keep your eye on the prize
Keep your eye on the prize
One day you'll find there's a light
and it's shinin'
One day you'll find there's a light
and it's shinin'
One day you'll find there's a light
and it shines for you
For you

The light shines
It shines for you [Repeat]

Let Me Do It Over Lyrics – Marc Broussard

I see you lookin' out the front door
Can't get your mind to settle down
I know you're wonderin' what I'm here for
You think that I won't stick around
I know it's hard to not remember
All the times that I pushed you to the end of the line

[Chorus]
So let me do it over baby
Let me do it over again
And I say the words I never said
Be the man I should've been
There's no guarantees that we won't be
right back where we are tonight
So let me do it over and I'll get it right

Now it's no secret I'm not perfect
We both know where I've been wrong
Leaving you was never worth it
Cause I never last without you for too long
Baby I know it's hard to not remember
But there's no where else I'd rather be
but right here

[Chorus]
So let me do it over baby
Let me do it over again
And I say the words I never said
Be the man I should've been
There's no guarantees that we won't be
right back where we are tonight
So let me do it over and I'll get it right

I tried my best to live without you
Everytime I walked away I got turned around
You'd think this boy would learn that it ain't no use
to run from the one you love
So let me do it over

Let me do it over again
And I say the words I never said
Be the man I should've been
There's no guarantees that we won't be
right back where we are tonight
So let me do it over
Let me do it over
Baby, let me do it over
and I'll get it right

Could You Believe Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Do you wonder
Do you believe
In a life where we can see
better days than these
What would it look like
How would it feel
Will all the hurting on the Earth get to heal
I know it's hard to hold on
But I won't let you go
There's no easy answers
But

[Chorus]
Could you believe
We got more, more than we ever need
Could you believe
in what we are and everything we can be
I believe love is strong,
strong enough to get us through
Could you believe
Would you believe
in me and you
Believe in me and you

So many reasons
to run away
Take our eyes off of love
and give up on today
Nothing's certain
but one thing is clear
Tomorrow's gonna come now
so are we gonna be right here
Be right here
I know it's hard to hold on
I won't let you go
There's no easy answers
But

[Chorus]
Could you believe
We got more, more than we ever need
Could you believe
in what we are and everything we can be
I believe love is strong,
strong enough to get us through
Could you believe
Would you believe
in me and you
Believe in me and you

Just take my hand
Cause this is beautiful
Walk with me
We'll find everything we're looking for
We both know
Know that it won't be easy
Oh, but you gotta believe

[Chorus]
Could you believe
We got more, more than we ever need
Could you believe
in what we are and everything we can be
I believe love is strong,
strong enough to get us through
Could you believe
Could you believe

Could you believe
Could you believe

Could you believe
Would you believe
in me and you
Believe in me and you

Stay With Me Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Today for the first time
I saw the sun rise
and wondered what I would do
if you were gone
I know you've been thinkin'
thinkin' of leavin'
You've been waitin' on me for way too long
I know that I'd be crazy
to let you walk out that door

[Chorus]
So baby just stay with me
and I'll find a way to get it where we wanna be
Just stay with me
and I promise I can be the man you need me to be
And I confess I can't live without you
I'd be a mess
Baby I need you to
stay with me
We'll make it work this time

Too many people
going in circles
looking for love they've already found
I used to be like that
but I'm not goin' back
I'm sorry that it took so long
for me to come around
I know you're feeling scared
but I swear I won't let you down

[Chorus]
So baby just stay with me
and I'll find a way to get it where we wanna be
Just stay with me
and I promise I can be the man you need me to be
And I confess I can't live without you
I'd be a mess
Baby I need you to
stay with me
We'll make it work this time

We belong together
and I'm not goin let you walk away
Hold on to you forever
Baby, I just want you to stay

Oh baby just stay with me
and I promise I can be the man you need me to be
Stay with me
and I'll find a way to get it where we wanna be
Just stay with me
and I promise I can be the man you need me to be
And I confess I can't live without you
I'd be a mess
Baby I need you
And I confess I can't live without you
I'd be a mess
Baby I need you to
stay with me
We'll make it work this time
Oh baby, just stay

Hard Knocks Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Didn't take nothing, that I didn't need
'Cause they didn't offer classes in what I wanted to be
They didn't offer manhood, responsibility
Had to learn it the hard way
Earned my degree in the streets

Graduated from Hard Knocks
Got my education
Hard Knocks
Out on the street

Can't bust through that ceiling without feelin' the burn
And I ain't got nothing that I did not earn
Chasin' that mighty dollar
'Stead of hittin the books
Studying Donny and Stevie
Learned to sail the hooks

I graduated from hard knocks
Got the bumps and the bruises to prove it
Hard knocks
Summa cum laude
Hard knocks
Hard knocks

Had a real good teacher named Mr. Life
Didn't teach no chemistry but he taught me how to fight
Didn't teach biology but I learned it from the birds and the bees
Said stay close to your friends even closer to your enemies

Hard knocks
Graduated Hard knocks
Bumps and bruises to prove it
Hard Knocks
Hard Knocks
Got to bring it on home

Said these streets keep calling me
Don't know what it is
Is it the thrill that I seek
I don't know
Is it the night
Or the sound of the city
Whatever it is
These streets keep calling me
Day in and night, can't get them off

Real Good Thing Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Is this the place that we're supposed to be?
This the beginning of our history, I don't know
Guess we'll have to wait and see

Last few dollars spent impressing you
Got a haircut and a pair of shoes, worth it all
Just to get a smile from you and a kiss or two

If the feeling's right and you're feeling light
Baby we just might have the makings of a real good thing
Just a touch of you, little bit of me
Might be the recipe for a real good thing

Know you're hoping that your people approve
Either way baby we can't lose
But the truth is that it all comes down to me and you

Know the fellas probably want me to choose
Between hanging out with them, spending all my time with you
That's exactly what I'm gonna do if it's alright with you

If the feeling's right and you're feeling light
Baby we just might have the makings of a real good thing
Just a touch of you, little bit of me
Might be the recipe for a real good thing

Starting to get a little bit curious
Why things are moving so fast
Starting to get a little bit serious
This one feels like it's gonna last, oh

If the feeling's right and you're feeling light
Baby we might just have a real good thing
Just a touch of you, little bit of me
Might be the recipe for a real good thing

If the feeling's right and you're feeling light
Baby we just might have the makings of a real good thing
Just a touch of you, little bit of me
Might be the recipe for a real good thing
A good thing yeah, real good thing yeah, ooh

Why Should She Wait Lyrics – Marc Broussard (feat. Sara Bareilles)

Have you ever had a woman that you didn't deserve?
She's giving all she has but you still don't got the nerve
Settle down, stop running around with her heart, yeah
I should have told her I was trouble right from the start

Why should she wait till tomorrow
When she knows I'm not giving all I've got?
Why do I wait till tomorrow
When I want to be everything she needs today?

I want to be what she needs, oh

I've been wasting my time living fancy free
So many ways to spend my money on things for me
Like big gun and old guitars, nothing too much for me
She waits at home alone where I should be

Why should she wait till tomorrow
When she knows I'm not giving all I've got?
Why do I wait till tomorrow
When I want to be everything she needs today?

I'm gonna find my way, I'm going to tell the truth
Give me the strength to say, I need her always

Will she be here tomorrow
When she knows I'm not giving all I've got?
I'm not gonna wait till tomorrow
I want to be everything she needs

Why should she wait till tomorrow
When she knows I'm not giving all I've got?
Why do I wait till tomorrow
When I want to be everything she needs today?

Give you what you need, yeah

Evil Things Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Mmm...

You don't know me,
But i, don't even know myself
We can't pretend that i'm someone else
Try to surrender, i try to understand
I can't remember who i am

The evil things that i've done.
Wash away, in the warmth of your sun
The broken man that you see,
Is not me, just a shadow where i used to be

Took you for granted and i had to pay the price
I lost you once, but i won't lose you twice
You try to hold me, but i, i cannot sit still
Baby i love you, and i always will

The evil things that i've done.
Wash away, in the warmth of your sun
The broken man that you see,
Is not me, just a shadow where i'll be wonderful

I'll be everything, there's a miracle in the melody of this song i sing
There'll be beautiful endless everything
You're the miracle in the melody and this song's for you

The evil things that i've done
They just wash away, in the warmth of your sun
The broken man that you see, is not me
Just a shadow.

Power's In The People Lyrics – Marc Broussard

[Verse 1]
Hey brotha, Hey there brotha, What's on your mind
Guessin no one's asked you in a quite a long time
Hey my sista, What's goin down
How you livin' while the world is spinnin' round

[Verse 2]
Doctor's hands are tied, Teacher's underpaid
We put all our worth in the money that is made
Times are changin, they're movin so fast
Got to stick together or we ain't gonna last

[Chorus]
We gotta fight, To survive, As a people
We gotta fight, fight, fight for our lives
If there's ever a time, In your life
You better fight, fight, fight to survive

[Verse 3]
Well it's dog eat dog, Family livin' on the street
Daddy's beggin' for money, all he wants is a drink
Television ain't the only place to get the news
Talk to a neighbor, Pay back a favor
There's someone countin' on you

[Verse 4]
Children left alone, Told to mind their own
Momma's workin late and she ain't comin home
All our young folk, growin up so fast
Gotta stick together or we ain't gonna last

[Chorus]
We gotta fight, To survive, As a people
We gotta fight, fight, fight for our lives
If there's ever a time, in your life
You better fight, fight, fight to survive

[Bridge]
What about the future, Find a new solution
Open our mind, still got time, start a revolution
Every woman, child and man lend a helping hand
All for one and one for all, The Power's In The People

[Chorus]
We gotta fight, To survive, as a people
We gotta fight, fight, fight for our lives
If there's ever a time, in your life
You better fight, fight, fight to survive
Fight, To survive, as a people
We gotta fight, fight, fight for our lives
If there's ever a time, in your life
You better fight, fight, fight to survive

When It's Good Lyrics – Marc Broussard (feat. LeAnn Rimes)

Got to apologize
Never meant to hurt you so
If I could go back in time, I'd make things right, baby don't you know
Let's stop wasting time, honey
'Cause there's only one way to go
We both know we can't deny, we only get one ride, down that road

When it's good it's good
And when it's bad it ain't that bad
Even when the hurt is all that you can feel
Then you know the love is real

Just a young man, I can't lie
This is all so new to me
I'm just trying do things right, 'cause I'm in it for life, and honey I'm in deep
Now baby take my hand
I won't you slip away
Just try the best you can, to be a better man, each and every day

When it's good it's good
And when it's bad it ain't that bad
Even when the hurt is all that you can feel
Then you know the love is real

When it's good it's good
When it's bad it ain't that bad
Even when the hurt is all that you can feel
Then you know the love is real

Man For Life Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Well, well, well, well

I can't understand why you don't say you love me, baby
It's the truth, you know, the truth you can't deny
I know it ain't always easy for you, especially lately
But you gotta let it go and I apologize

If you don't wanna let it go, tell me now, not later
I could never live without you by my side
I know we can build on what we got and make it greater
But the way you've been acting makes me think you miss the high

My love remains through the joy and the pain
But it seems that you've changed your mind
I got no regrets, forgive and forget
Baby now is the time to decide
Am I your man for life? Your man for life

Every time you walk into the room I can't escape it
My knees get weak and all I know is the desire
To have next to my body, huggin', touchin', lovin'
Baby you sure do know how to light my fire

My love remains through the joy and the pain
But it seems that you've changed your mind
I got no regrets, forgive and forget
Baby now is the time to decide
Am I your man for life? Man for life

My love remains through the joy and the pain
But it seems that you've changed your mind
I got no regrets, forgive and forget
Baby now is the time to decide
Am I your man?

My love remains through the joy and the pain
But it seems that you've changed your mind
I got no regrets, forgive and forget
Baby now is the time to decide
Am I your man for life? Am I your man for life?

Another Night Alone Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Trying in my life, trying to survive
A world away from home
Doesn't feel like I belong
Just another night alone

Like a ship out on the sea, loneliness can be
The beacon on the shore
Cannot reach me anymore
Just another night alone

Without you, I'm waiting on the dawn
Missing you, your memory lingers on
Takes me home again but baby, until then
I'll just sing this song through another night alone

The rain upon the roof
It's tapping out a tune, yeah
True and sad and clear
This harmony you never hear
Just another night alone

Without you, I'm waiting on the dawn
Missing you, your memory lingers on
Takes me home again but baby, until then
I'll just sing this song through another night alone

Each note I sing, your love it comes to me
So I'll just sing this song through another night alone
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Saying I Love You Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Deep in the heart of a man is a need
For someone to satisfy, someone to please
Finding love's like chasing whispers in the dark
Takes more than words to see

Saying I love you doesn't mean that we're in love
You've got to give love to show that it's true
Saying you need me
Don't have to give all we are and all we do
Honey, I'll give it all to you

Woman like you has heard it all before
Smooth-talking lies, well they're knocking on your door
I'll bring you truth just like the water from the well
I can always can give you more
Baby, I'm yours

Saying I love you doesn't mean that we're in love
You've got to give love to show that it's true
Saying you need me
Don't have to give all we are and all we do
Honey, I'll give it all to you
Ahh, baby, I'll give it all to you

Finding love's like chasing whispers in the dark
Takes more than words to see
Baby, I believe

Saying I love you don't always mean love
You gotta give love to show that it's true
Saying you need me
Don't have to give all we are and all we do
Saying I love you doesn't mean that we're in love
You've got to give love to show that it's true
Saying you need me
Don't have to give we are and all we do
Honey, I'll give it all to you
Ahh, darlin, I'll give it all to you

Going Home Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Wake up, crossed another state line
Fed up, a hundred million miles to drive
Yeah....
I hope you'll be waitin at the door
With open arms, like you did before
So carry me free

You know I was born to roam
I need you to help me along
And I'm driving all night going home

Tell me, Tell me that you'll always be true
Keep me going, tell me what to do
To get back to you

You know I was born to roam
I need you to help me along
And I'm driving all night going home
Going home

Evangeline Rose Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Good evening, Evangeline Rose
My you're looking beautiful, In your ribbons and bows.
Been missing you, out here on the road,
So many things to say to you, Things you should know

But honestly these words I speak
Said on the phone when I'm long gone
Just don't say what I need you to hear
Don't worry if my words aren't clear
When I hang up this phone
I'm comin' home

Good evening, Evangeline Rose
My how the days pass so fast, my how you've grown
And I'm wondering, how long you've known
That you give me all the reason and the rhyme
With a simple hello

But when I'm gone, one day's too long
I miss so much, I can't touch
The moments, the laughter, the pain
There's so much I can't explain
Right here right now on the phone
I'm comin' home

And these tires on the road they hum a melody so sweet
And they whisper words that only you would say
And though they take me from the only place I ever felt complete
My dear, they always take me home

Good evening, Evangeline Rose
My you're looking beautiful, in your ribbons and bows
As you take my arm, I smile and you know
That I can give your hand away today
But I'll never let you go

And honestly, I cannot speak
My little girl, my whole world
Time stood still, for a while
Watch you walking down the aisle
My sweet Evangeline Rose
It's good to be home

EP: "Must Be The Water" (2008)

Must Be The Water Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Seen a lot of people come through New Orleans
Get down in the Easy for a change of scene
Now the word is out all over this old town
The big town party's coming, we gonna throw one down

Must be the water
Mississippi River is alive
Must be New Orleans
More than just an alligator bite

Known around the world for the crawfish meat
Got everybody jammin' to the Creole beat
Coming far and wide just to see the show
Just rockin' on the Bayou, so let everybody know

Gotta be the water
Make you play all day, jam all night
Down in New Orleans
Swamp water make me lose my mind

No matter where you from, you ain't seen nothing yet
'Til you come around, party down in Lafayette
My brother serve you up with that etouffee
Just ask for any Broussard if you come this way

Gotta be the water
Make you play all day, jam all night
Must be New Orleans
Swamp water make you lose your mind

No matter if you fly here, drive here, come in on a train
Guarantee that when you leave you won't be the same
If the ladies don't get you, then the hospitality will
If anybody asks then you can say for real

Something in the water
Make you play all day, jam all night
Come on, jump on in, you know the water's fine

C'mon everybody sing
(it's a party jam session)

Try Me Lyrics – Marc Broussard

I know I might look like just a regular guy
Look a little deeper and you might be surprised
Rough around the edges like the cuff of my jeans
Stay a little longer and you'll see what I mean

How you know I'm not the one
Supposed to keep you warm at night
You came in with Mr. Wrong
You can leave with Mr. Right

Try me
Try me
'Cause I might be
Just the thing you need

Everything you wanted
And you won't be disappointed
If you
Try me
Come on
Try me

Love to meet your momma just to see for myself
She must be a special lady 'cause she raised you well
Love to meet your daddy, maybe shake his hand
Look him in the eye to let him know I'm a man

I can
be your confidante
Be everything you want
Be the one you trust
All you've got to do is just

Try me
Come on
Try me
'Cause I might be
Just the thing you need

Everything you wanted
And you won't be disappointed
If you
Try me
Come on
Try me

Say you searched the seven seas
North, south, west and east
But I bet you've never seen the likes of me
Noooo

Girl your search is over
You're lookin at your four-leaf clover
Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
Baby please

Try me
Come on
Try me
'Cause I might be
Just the thing you need

Everything you wanted
And you won't be disappointed
If you
Try me
Come on
Try me

Try me
Try me
'Cause I might be
Just the thing you need

Everything you wanted
And you won't be disappointed
If you
Try me
Come on
Try me

Come on try me baby
Everything you wanted
Won't be disappointed
Try me

Someone You Know Lyrics – Marc Broussard

The levee's gonna break, the water's so high
And they're tryin' to make me move
It's been rainin' 6 days and 14 nights
I got way too much to lose

I built this house with my daddy's hands
My first boy was born inside
I promised my momma I would be a man
I ain't leavin' here tonight

City's on fire
Under water
Mothers and fathers
Sons and daughters

I am someone you know
Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door
I am someone you know
River pushed me down, but I ain't ready to go

I am someone you know

Hey listen now
Dirty ass water, water everywhere
And not a drop to drink
I went to cast my vote but the poll was closed
And then the city just started to sink

I wonder if they'll find us in a thousand years
And say who let this go down
The river rose up on a trillion tears
And washed the poor folks out of town

City's on fire
Under water
Mothers and fathers
Sons and daughters

I am someone you know
Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door
I am someone you know
River pushed me down, but I ain't ready to go

I am someone

I reached out my hand
But you did not notice
It's ok, I understand
Lord knows these times are hard

Just know that I am here
If you need assurance
I have made my choice
And the Lord will hear my voice

I am someone you know
Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door
I am someone you know
River pushed me down, but I ain't ready to go

I am someone you know
Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door
I am someone you know
Spending all my money on the president's war

Freedom isn't free
Especially when you're broke
Take me by the hand
I can't take it no more

Trying to get a job
There ain't no jobs around
Trying to feed my family
On this change I found

There's the Govorner's house
Looks so good on the hill
You got to stand in line
Got to get your fill

Swear I heard one man, one vote
Sure as hell ain't all she wrote
I got bills and they're all late
I'm still waitin' on the state

Oooooh
I am someone you know

It's Over Now Lyrics – Marc Broussard

This living's killing me
Scaring me to death
Somehow the stage has become
The source of our distress

Right now it's where I belong
And right now I'm gone to stay
There's too much sunshine when I'm away
I don't want to go home
It's gettin' harder every day

'Cause baby it's over now
Baby it's over now
All the lonely times
All the tears you've cried
Those Louisiana nights
Baby it's over now

This screaming is killing me
We both are out of breath
It was hard waving goodbye
With the strength that I had left

Out there is where I belong
On the road so far from home
There ain't no sunshine since you've been gone
I want to feel you in my arms tonight
But all I feel tonight is alone

'Cause baby it's over now
Baby it's over now
All the lonely times
All the tears you've cried
Those Louisiana nights
Baby it's over now

Oooohhhh

Some folks say I'm wrong
Maybe I am
So what if I am

Doesn't change a thing
The fight in us would stay the same
And I'd still want to run away

'Cause baby it's over now
Baby it's over now
All the lonely times
All the tears you've cried
Those Louisiana nights
Baby it's over now

Baby it's over now
All the lonely times
All the tears you've cried
Those Louisiana nights
Baby it's over now

Y'all Ain't Ready Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Have you ever woke up in the morning
With an alligator sitting on your steps
Chop 'em up, throw 'em in a soup
Make some shoes with whatever you got left

Have you ever worked 24/7 in a row
All you wanna do is rest your head
Got my tailor-made suit and my alligator shoes
W'ere going out and paint the town in red

Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
For where I'm from
Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
But you better get ready
'Cause here I come
Hey

There once was a boy
From way down south
Five strings sittin' on a guitar
Everybody tried to tell that boy
Son, you aint gonna get far

Five years later on a Saturday night
Got everybody standin' in that line
Same five stings on the same guitar
Aint no point in changin' 'em now

Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
For where I'm from
Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
But you better get ready
'Cause here I come

Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
For where I'm from
Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
But you better get ready
'Cause here I come

Everybody in the house tonight
The bass and the drums and the groove is tight
And there aint no stoppin' 'til we get it right
Y'all aint ready

Everybody in the house tonight
Bass and the drums and the groove is tight
Aint no stoppin' 'til we get it right
Y'all aint ready

Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
For where I'm from
Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
But you better get ready
'Cause here I come

Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
But you better get ready
'Cause here I come

You Met Your Match Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Hey, you were good at playing the fox, girl
When I was good, you threw me a bone
But I ain't playing hot for nobody
Girl, just you wait 'til I get you home
I'll show you the way to love somebody
Like you've never ever been shown before

'Cause my love light's burning
My whole life's yearning for you
Hey, baby you were playing the part with Jimmy and Freddie
You tried to make me look like a fool
But I took care of Cindy and Susie
Just to show you I can be twice as cool, baby

If you want to learn how to love me
I'll teach you in my own private school
'Cause my love love light's burning
My whole life's yearning for you

You met you your match
When you play with my affection
You met you your match
When you tried to make me walk the line
When you decided you would hurt me
That's when your grape fell off the vine

Your mama told me that I better be mellow
She said you're just a baby, maybe too green
I told her Jimmy, Freddie, Teddy and Victor
They know better
Mama, shake off that dream
I told her that you were really cooking
My love is burning for a turn at the steam

Hey, 'cause my love light's burning
My whole life's yearning for you
You met your match
When you told me you loved me
You met your match
When you told me that you wouldn't let go

You met your match, baby
You met your match in me

If I Could Build My Whole World Around You Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Oh, if I could build my whole world around you, darlin'
First, I'd put Heaven by your side
Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walked, honey
And over your head would be the bluest sky

Then I'd take every drop of rain
And wash all your troubles away
I'd have my whole world wrapped up in you, darlin'
And that would be alright, oh yes, it will

If I could build my whole world around you
I'd make your eyes the morning sun
Oh I'd put so much love where there is sorrow
And I'd put joy where there's never been none

And I'd give my love to you
For you to keep for the rest of your life
Oh, and happiness would surely be ours
And that would be alright, oh, yes, it would

Oh, if I could build my whole world around you
I'd give you the greatest gift that any woman could possess
And I'd step into this world you created
And give you true love and tenderness

And there'd be something new with every tomorrow
To make this world better as days go by
That is if I could just build my world around you
If I could build my whole world around you
And that would be alright, oh, yeah

If I could build my whole world around you
If I could build it, build it all around you
And that would be alright, oh, yeah
If I could just build my world around you
If I could build it build it my whole world around you
And that would be alright

Harry Hippie Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Now everybody claims that
They want the best things out of life
But not everyone, not everyone
Wanna got through the toils and strifes

Like this particular fella walks around
All day long singin'
Sha na na na na na na na na naa

Harry Hippie, lies asleep in the shade
Life don't bug him 'cause he thinks he's got it made
He never worry about nothin' in particular
Oh, he might even sell Free Press on sunset

I'd like to help a man when he's down
But I can't help him much
When he's sleepin' on the ground

He's like a bottle in water
Harry just floats through life
Walks around all day long singin' this song
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

Mary Hippie, she's Harry's lady
Panhandles pennies just to feed Harry's baby
She can lie down a story so incredible
Man, you wanna help her
Take the food home and put it on the table

I'd like to help a man when he's down
But I can't help ya Harry
If you wanna sleep on the ground

Sorry Harry, oh you're too much weight to carry around
But he still walks around all day singin' this song
Sha na na na, sha na na na na na
Na sha na na na na na na naa

Sweet child, street child, tell me where will you be goin'
When Old Man Winter gets his horn and starts blowin'?
Will you hang around L.A or hitch a ride on the freeway?
Meet an old familiar face in a new place

I'd like to help a man when he's down
But how can I help him if he's somewhere outta town?
Sorry Harry, I think I'm gonna put you down

Sha na na na, sha na na na na
Sha na na na na na na naa
Everybody help me sing this song, oh yeah
Sha na na na, sha na na na na
Sha na na na na na na na

I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know Lyrics – Marc Broussard

If I ever leave you baby
You can say I told you so
And if I ever hurt you, baby
You know I hurt myself as well

Is that any way for a man to carry on?
Do you think I want my loved one gone?
Said, "I love you, more than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know"

When I wasn't makin' much money
You know where my paycheck went
I brought it home to you baby, oh oh
And I never spent a red cent, yeah

Is that any way for a man to carry on?
Do you think I want my loved one gone?
Said, "I love you, more than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know"

Now listen to this

I'm not tryin' to be, no no no no
Just any kind of man, no I ain't
I'm tryin' to be somebody
You can love, trust and understand

I know, I know, I know, I know that I can be
The part of you that no one else could see
And I got to hear you say, I got to hear you say
It's all right

I'm only flesh and blood
But I can be anything that you demand
I could be King of everything
Or just a tiny grain of sand

Who will tell me is that any way for a man to carry on?
Do you think I want my loved one gone?
I love you, more than you'll ever know
Said, "I love you, I love you, I love you, hey hey"

I've Been Loving You Too Long Lyrics – Marc Broussard

I've been loving you too long
To stop now

You were tired and you wanted to be free
My love is growing stronger
As you became a habit to me

Yeah, I've been loving you a bit too long
I don't wanna stop now

With you my life has been so wonderful
I can't stop now

You were tired and your love was growing cold
My love was growing stronger
As our affair, affair grows old

And I've been loving you just a little too long
Lord, I can't stop now, no, no

I've been loving you just a little too long
I don't wanna stop now, no no no, no no

I've been loving you, oh, ooh

Respect Yourself Lyrics – Marc Broussard

If you disrespect anybody
That you run in to
Then how in the world do you think
Anybody's s'posed to respect you

If you don't give a heck 'bout the man
With the Bible in his hand
Just get out the way
And let the gentleman do his thing, yeah

You're the kind of gentleman
That always wanted everything his way
Take the sheet off your face, boy
It's a brand new day, come on, come on

You got to respect yourself
Come on respect yourself
No, respect yourself
Oh, respect yourself

If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, no
Respect yourself, hey, hey, respect yourself
Respect yourself, respect yourself

??

If you walk 'round thinkin' that the world
Owes you something 'cause you're here, well
You're goin' out the world backwards
Like you did when you first come here

Keep talkin' 'bout the president
Won't stop evolution, oh no
Put your hand over your mouth
When you cough, that'll help the solution

Yeah, you cuss around women
And you don't even know their names
And you dumb enough to think
That'll make you a big ol' man, hey

Respect yourself, yeah
Respect yourself
You got to respect yourself
Hey respect yourself

If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, no, no
Respect yourself, yeah, oh, respect yourself
You're gonna respect yourself, hey respect yourself

Respect yourself, respect yourself
Hey respect yourself
Respect yourself, respect yourself
You're gonna respect yourself
Nobody's gonna do it for you

You gotta respect yourself
You gotta respect yourself

Yes We Can, Can Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Now's the time for all good men
to get together with one another.
Iron out our problems and iron out our quarrels
and try to live as brothers.

Try to find a piece within
without stepping on one another.

Come In From The Cold Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Come in from the cold, close the door from the hurt
That makes you feel alone
Time for you to share that coat you wrap around your life
Lay here in my arms, let me hold you close, I want so

Come in from the rain, shake away all the tears you try hiding them
Tell me every fear that keeps you from this love of mine
Leave it all behind, lay down my side, I'll show it to you

I've been hurt just like you, I know how hard
It is to give your love away but baby it's safe, I'm warm
All I'm really asking of you is come in from the cold

Yeah, I've been hurt just like you, I know how hard
It is to give your love away but baby it's safe, I'm warm
All I'm really asking of you is come in from the cold

Throw off all the memories that can bring you down
Loving is only the way to heal a heart that love has wronged
So baby give up the fight, you know it's right
Come in from the cold, baby you should know, I'd love for

You're my dying love, yeah yeah yeah
Girl I'll make you fall, jump to you from the storm
I wanna show to you and help you, please don't worry about me
If I need you, and I found you and I want you, oh baby

Bring It On Home To Me Lyrics – Marc Broussard (originally by Sam Cooke)

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Bring it to me, bring your sweet loving,
bring it on home to me, yeah

You know I tried to treat you right
But, you stay out, stay out every night
Bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin
Bring it on home to me.

I know I laughed when you left
But now I know I only hurt myself
Baby, bring it to me,
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it home to me

I'll give you jewelry and money too
That ain't all, all I do for you,
Baby if you bring it to me,
bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, oh honey

You know I'll always be your slave
'til I'm buried, buried in my grave
Bring it to me, bring your sweet loving,
bring it on home to me.

But I forgive you, yeah

"Carencro" (2004)

Home Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Rolling down the road
Going no where
Guitar packed in the trunk
Somewhere round mile marker 112
Papa started hummin the funk
I gotta jones in my bones before we know
We were singing this melody
Stop the car pulled out the guitar
Halfway to New Orleans

Said take me home
Take me home

Could feel the sun about to rise
When I realized we had nothing to fear
It's just me and my daddy and a kid named Cope
Making music that nobody would hear
And then the sun let up and it split the night
Spilling over our jubilee
Ten thousand cars by the side of the road
Grooving far as the eye can see

Said take me home
Take me home
Said take me home
Said take me home

This greyhound is delta bound mama
Baby boy done finally found
Said this greyhound is delta bound mama
Baby boy done finally found his way home
Said take me home

Hot damn you should have felt the groove
Like I was swimming in a sea of soul
The sun was rising and the day was hot
And we was all about to lose control
My daddy turned his face up towards the sky
And I knew that there was nothing to lose
I felt the crowd breathe in and I closed my eyes
And we disappeared into the groove

Said take me home
Said take me home
Take me home
Said take me home

Straight from the water
Straight from the water children
[Repeat x3]
You don't know nothing about this

Take me home
Said take me home
[repeat]

Rocksteady Lyrics – Marc Broussard

I think I feel like sleepin in
I won't woke up 'til Friday night
The moment the weekend begins
I'm packing up my ride and I'm leaving

[Chorus]
When I get there
You better be ready to rocksteady
[Repeat]

I think I feel like sleepin in
Last night was crazy outta sight
After my rest the fun begins
I'm packing up my ride and I'm leaving
Headed straight towards your door

[Chorus]

First the song begins
You start movin' and
I get caught up in the rhythm of your hips
And I just can't wait to take this party home

When we get there
You better be ready to rocksteady

The Beauty Of Who You Are Lyrics – Marc Broussard

There's a soft sweet space on the back of your neck
Smells like rain
There's a way you look at me baby
Heals my pain

I've studied every inch of your body
Baby what's on your mind
The touch of your skin just pulls me in
Every single time

There's a silent conversation
Filled with hidden revelations in your eyes

[Chorus]
Baby I'm so into you
Every whisper from your soul to my heart
Baby I know its true
You're a sweet little mystery sent to me from the stars
And that's the beauty of who you are

There's a faith you're savin' for a rainy day
I could use right now
There's a way you move my soul to sing
Only you know how
You are a sensual salvation
You're the holiest temptation
Baby I'm never, never, never gonna be the same

[Chorus]

I can't explain it or begin to conceive
All I know is that you make me believe

[Chorus]

Save Me Lyrics – Marc Broussard

You know the summer time is gone now
All the leaves are on the ground
Everything is turning
Stuck in a rut

You know another year is over
Ad another candle is on the cake
I ain't getting any younger no, no, no
Stuck in a rut
And only you could get me out of this place

[Chorus]
Save me
Give me what I need
I know you can break these chains
And set me free
Save me
Give me what I need
I know you can break these chains
And set me free
Set me free

You know the wintertime is here now
And my poor heart is freezing up
Keep, keep the fire burning, baby
Stuck in a rut
And only you can melt the pain away

[Chorus]

Wishing you were here
'Cause I can't hold on calm me down when I lie awake
All night long

[Chorus]

You know the summer time is gone now
And my poor heart is freezing up

Where You Are Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Your skin is like the moonlight
Dancing in the midnight
Your touch is sweet as candy
Your kisses they taste so fine, so fine
and I want to love you better
You don't have to be alone
I want to let you know forever's waiting right here at home

[Chorus]
And I want to be where you are
Come on take all I've got
I want you to know just how I feel
I've loved you from the start
I want to be where you are

Girl you know how to move me
Making me believe, believe
You blind a man with beauty
Love will make him see
I can see
And I want to love you better
And nowhere is too far
I want to let you know forever is right here in my heart

[Chorus]

I've stood alone in New York City
I've watched the sunset in L.A.
I ride for miles and miles and end up getting nowhere
But I've never felt this way
Never felt this way
Never felt this way

And I want to be where you are come on take all I've got
I want you to know just how I feel
I've loved you from the start

I've stood alone in New York City
I've watched the sunset in L.A.
I ride for miles and miles and end up getting nowhere
But I've never felt this way

[Chorus]

Come Around Lyrics – Marc Broussard

My life was black and white until you came around
So baby come around, keep on comin' around
I didn't know wrong from right, til' you came around
So baby come around, please keep comin' around

[B Section]
There is nothing like the light of you
You amaze me with the things you do
I'll do anything you want me to
Don't ever leave me alone

[Chorus]
Baby you can use me any way that you enjoy
You know how to groove m
I'm dancing like a little boy
You do something to me
I just want to lay you down
Any time of place so come around

My life was full of doubt til' you came around
So baby come around, keep on comin' around
I'd never been so turned out until you came around
So baby come around, please keep coming around

[B Section]

[Chorus]

Lonely Night In Georgia Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Stoplights turn into skylines
And my mind turns to you
Two hundred miles behind
Off to this roadside dive
Wondering how this cup of coffee's gonna see me through
But this has been our story, some sad song
Ever since the day, the day you came along

[Chorus]
It's a lonely night in Georgia
And everything I do reminds me of being with you
It's a lonely night, but I'll be alright
'Cause I'm comin' on home, comin' on home to you

Skylines turn into stoplights
Another town, another crowd
When all the peoples gone home
I'm left all alone, with nothin' but you to think about

But this has been our story
I know you've heard it all before
'Cause every time I come home
You know I'm right back out that door

[Chorus]

The warmth of your body though these tall olden pines
The sound of your heartbeat brings your skin to mine
Yours peach kisses ripened by your southern sun smile
Now my senses are heightened with the last hundred miles

[Chorus]

Saturday Lyrics – Marc Broussard

I gotta little thing comonna kaya
Cool sheets, real fine, lay me down in the hot july
I wish I may, I wish I might be next to you every night
No phone, no sir, don't wanna be disturbed
Just me, just her, speak without using words
Learning her every curve

[Chorus]
There ain't nothing like sleepin late on a Saturday
Waking my to see my baby's face
You know I wouldn't wanna have it
Have it any other way
Cause it's my favorite, sleeping late on a Saturday
She's the kind of girl that any man would fancy
But she's mine all mine, one of a kind
Her beauty so devine

This chance, romance, baby I cancelled all my plans
Just me, just you, whatever we want to do
I'm so into you

[Chorus]

Since Monday I ain't thought of nothing but
Being right there with you
(Ooh I just want to be with you my baby)
Come Friday I can't wait
You're my special one, make me come undone
It's so much fun

[Chorus]

The Wanderer Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Dance for me sweetheart while I strum my guitar
You sure look pretty tonight
I've just come off the road and I could use the company
Now that would suit me just fine

Now I've seen a lot of special things around this world
You can see them too, you can
What's that you ask
I have no name, I have no name
For I am know only as man
For I am know only as man

[Chorus]
I'm a wanderer I have no lace or time
I'm just drifting on this lonely road of mine
And if you like you can come along with me
But I promise you that I am not the man I use to be
But I promise you that I am not the man I use to be

Now you and I we've seen our share of ups and downs
Somewhere we just lost hope
I can't change the past but who cares
Your love is all I've ever known
Your love is all I've ever known

[Chorus]

I'm a wanderer I have no place or time
I'm just drifting on this lonely road of mine
It you would accept me for me
Then I promise you that there's a better man inside of me
Yea I promise you there's a better man inside of me
Love I promise you there's a better main inside of me

Dance for me sweetheart while I strum my guitar
You sure you look pretty tonight

Hope For Me Yet Lyrics – Marc Broussard

I could bless the water
But it wouldnt turn to wine
Paint a picture of the sunset
Hanging there in your eyes
But it'd just be some compromise

I could write a million verses
Every word youve heard before
Steal some of dylans best
But it'd leave me wanting to say more
Cause theres so much more

Baby if you could love somone like me
Theres no end to the possibility
Hopes and dreams push away the pain and regret
But loving you just lets me know
There might be hope for me yet
Hope for me yet

Sometimes when I look back
I dont even know myself
It blows my mind to think that ive found grace in someone else
Baby your grace is something else

Baby if you could love somone like me
There's no end to the possibility
Hopes and dreams push away the pain and regret
But loving you just lets me know
There might be hope for me yet

For a man whos done nothing
I've been blessed with so much more than i deserve
I'm smart enough to know that ive been handed something
Can't put a price on what its worth

Baby if you could love somone like me
Theres no end to the possibility
Hopes and dreams push away the pain and regret
But loving you just lets me know
There might be hope for me yet
Hope for me yet
Hope for me yet

Let Me Leave Lyrics – Marc Broussard

How many times have I come to you
How many times have you taken me in
How have you never quite realized
That this will be nothing more than what it's been

Why is it that I return to the scene of the crime
Though there's nothing I need
Between the moments that linger before us
Haven't you wondered why I always leave

Let me
Be who I am
Let me
Leave while I can

You know love don't find
This sort of man
So just let me leave
While I can

How many times have I come to you
Beaten and broken and under attack
How can you look in my eyes and my heart
And not see that there's something I lack

Why is it that I'm as bad as I am
But I know that you'll never believe
Why do you still have to love me
When all I have done is to lie and deceive

Let me
Be who I am
Let me
Leave while I can

You know love don't find
This sort of man
So just let me leave
While I

Can't give you what you need
And I'm so tired that I can't breathe
And I don't know if you can see,
But my ship is goin' down

And I tried my best to be a man
So I set you free while I still can
Cause I can't seem to change who I am

So just let me
Be who I am
Oh, oh, let me
Leave while I can

You know love don't find
This sort of man
So just let me
Leave while I can

Gavin's Song Lyrics – Marc Broussard

I wish you freedom
I wish you peace
I wish you nights of stars
That beckon you to sleep
I wish you heartache
That leaves you more of a man?
I wish I could be there
But I can't

I wish you places
That sit so still
Where people never ever change
and Never ever will
I wish I could hold you
And make you understand
I wish I could be there
But I can't

Be good for your mama
Cause she'll need a hand to hold
Boy, she loves you
More than you'll ever know
There are rhymes and there are reasons
And times when nothing stayed the same
But you know my love still remains

I wish you wisdom
I wish you years
I wish you armies
To conquer all your fears
I wish you courage for all that life demands
I wish I could be there
But I can't

Be good for your mama
Cause she'll need a hand to hold
Boy, she loves you
More than you'll ever know
There are rhymes and there are reasons
And times when nothing stayed the same
But you know my love still remains

I wish we were together
I wish I was home
I wish there were nights
Where I was never alone
I know I've said it
But I'll say it once again
I wish I could be there
But I can't

Just Like That Lyrics – Marc Broussard

I try to say the words
But they don't come out right
It'd be much easier
If you would just stay the night
That look in your eye
Has got me thinking something's wrong
And just like that
You're gone
You're gone

How could I be so blind?
How could I be such a fool?
'Cause in this game of love
There ain't no damn rules
That look in your eye
Has got me thinking something's wrong
Then just like that
You're gone
You're gone
Yeah

I treated you so good
I gave you everything that I had
Now give me one good reason
Why I deserve to be treated this bad
Oh that look in your eye
Has got me thinking something's wrong
And just like that
You're gone
Gone
Gone
You're gone
You're gone
Gone

I said if lovin' is the game
Then you can, you can count me out
I'm tired of being a fool
I know what you're
You're all about
There's no surprise that the look in your eye
Is telling me it might be time to move on
And just like that
And just like that
Oh
And just like that
I'm gone

Said I'm gone [x15]

Blue Jeans Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Oh
Never would I have imagined
I'd be here with you tonight
Holding you in my arms as we dance
I gotta tell you it just feels so right

Something about you moves me deep inside my soul
When I look into your eyes
Just in case I haven't already let you know
Here's just a couple of wishes of mine

I want you to stay up talking to me all night long
Call me up out of the blue just to see what's going on
Even if I never see another day with you
I hope you know I appreciate you

Oh
So many things I want to say to you
But the timing's just not right
I don't want to scare you off too soon
So baby be with me tonight
Yeah yeah yeah

Something about you moves me deep inside my soul
When I look into your eyes
Just in case I haven't already let you know
Here's just a couple of wishes of mine

I want you to stay up talking to me all night long
Call me up out of the blue just to see what's going on
Even if I never see another day with you
I hope you know I appreciate you
I said I hope you know I appreciate you

Oh, You
Whoa, whoa

I want you to stay up talking to me all night long
Call me up out of the blue just to see what's going on
Even if I never see another day with you
I hope you know I appreciate you
I said I hope you know I appreciate you
I hope you know I appreciate you
One more time, one more time
I hope you know I appreciate you

French Cafe Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Friendly people
But I can't make out all the words
Melodies so sweet through all the trees
From different birds
All around me
Sights and sounds and songs I've never heard
Swearing I'll be back again
One more week might do me in

And I stop to catch my breath
On the slippery steps of Angouleme
And with my little finger
Across the town I write your name

I can't stop drinking the wine
Can't stop counting the days
A world apart, an ocean away
Just loving you baby
Sittin' here, loving you
From this little French cafe

Oh, yeah
Turn the bed down, baby
Pray that jumbo plane's gonna bring me back
Got roses and bazaracs
Six Bordeauxs all in a sack
We may know some scrapes
But some things we won't ever lack
All the fields of Beaujolais
Couldn't buy you anyway
Couldn't buy you babe

Oh
And I stop to catch my breath
On the mighty steps of Angouleme
And with my little finger
Across the town I write your name

I can't stop drinking the wine
I can't stop counting the days
A world apart, an ocean away
Just loving you baby
Sittin' here, loving you
From this little French

All the oysters in Marennes
Whole French army and Charles de Gaulle
A million Francs wouldn't phase me at all
From loving you baby
Sittin' here loving you
From this little French cafe
Sittin' here loving you
From this little French cafe

Momentary Setback Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Staring out the window
Watching the world go by
Oh
Sometimes it's as if God
Takes too long
Why don't I just take my own life?

But then my better sense kicks in
Sit back and take a breath
Why am I thinking like that?
I'm only thinking of myself

Slow down, boy
Relax
Momentary setback
Don't take it so fast
Slow down boy
Relax
You'll make it back
Quick, fast, in a hurry

Standing at the water's edge
As my dreams float by
Ooh
I can't remember a time
When anything went right
I might just keep stepping on
Into the river's arms open wide

But I'll hang on and ride
Suicide
Pray the night
Every life is a gift
Holy light
Sanctify

Slow down boy, relax
Momentary setback
Don't take it so fast
Slow down boy, relax
You'll make it back
Quick fast in a hurry

Slow down boy [x3]

Slow down boy [x3]

Slow down boy, relax
Momentary setback
Don't take it so fast
Slow down boy
Relax
You'll make it back
Quick, fast, in a hurry

Gotta Be More Lyrics – Marc Broussard

Cast my eyes towards the sky
Looking down on me
So far all I've seen are clouds
But I'm not gonna let 'em get me down

No way
No how
Not ever
Not now

There's gotta be more here
Than what I see
There's gotta be more here
Than what I see

Walking down the road again
One step at a time
So far all I've seen are stop signs
But I'm not gonna let 'em get me this time

My life
Keep my head high
Yeah

There's gotta be more here
Than what I see
There's gotta be more here
Than what I see

Are those the clouds of my mind that hide the stars?
Will I ever find the road that leads me home again?
Does it seem so far
From looking way to hard
Now I know my heart is where my searching all begins

High low is where I stand
Looking for the man in charge
High low is where I stand
Looking for the man in charge
High low is where I stand
Looking for the man in charge
High and low is where I search
But you know that I didn't have to look this far

I believe there's more here to see
Oh yeah
I believe there's more here to see
'Cause the dirt has been wiped away from my eyes and
I know what I'm supposed to be
There's got to be more [x5]

My God Lyrics – Marc Broussard

My God, my God
Why have you forsaken me?
I cannot find the light
And I'm constantly running from thee

My God, my God
Help me find the way
Back to your loving arms

Oh you are the way, the truth and the life
Burn over me
Lord send your might
Oh I can do nothing without you
With your strength
This dark night I'll get through
I'll get through

My God, my God
Heal this sin-stained soul
I give my life to you
Take me and make me whole

My God, my God
I'm lost and so alone
Drowning in a sea of desolation
Help me find
Help me find my way back home

Oh you are the way, the truth and the life
Burn over me
Lord send your might
Oh I can do nothing without you
With your strength
This dark night I'll get through
I'll get through

My God, my God, my God
I know you're not forsaking me
But I cannot find the light
And I'm
And I'm constantly running from thee

My God, my God
I'm lost and so alone
Drowning in a sea of desolation
Help me find
Help me find my way back home
My God

Oh you are the way, the truth and the life
Burn over me
Lord send your might
Oh I can do nothing without you
With your strength
This dark night I'll get through
I'll get through

Jeremiah's Prayer lyrics - marc broussard

Why did it have to end so soon?
Why did you go away?
Although I know it may never come true
I hope to see you someday

And I'll always remember
Those times that we shared
So if you're listening from up above
This is my prayer

You've brought so much joy to this world of mine
Whenever I needed you came
A friend like you is so hard to find
Without you it won't be the same

And though many will try
No one can ever compare
So if you're listening from up above
This is my prayer

May the mountains rise to meet you
May the skies open wide
Know that in my heart, my friend
You will always be alive

There are so many things that I want you to know
So many words to say
And when He finally calls me home
I'll walk with you through those gates

So please remember me
Oh I promise I'll see you up there
I hope you're listening from up above
This is my prayer

May the mountains rise to meet you
May the skies open wide
Know that in my heart my friend
You will always be alive

May the angels fly to greet you
You can see it all from up there
I know you're listening from up above
'Cause this is, and will always be, my prayer
My prayer
My prayer
