Behind The Scene

(mac mcnally, donny lowery)

A little girl's dream world with ribbons and long curls
Reflections of yesterday's past
Now headlines and foot lights
The hours of long nights keep everything
Moving so fast

It's taken a long time
And she's walked a thin line
The fame and fortune arrived

She kept on striving
Way of surviving
Till part of those dreams came alive

Chorus:
And she wishes she looks like
They tell her she looks like all the time
What she'd give just to feel like
She tells them she's feeling
Just fine
All that money she makes every night
Ain't as much as it seems
A dollar a wrinkle and less then a nickel a dream

Her heart may be breaking
But she keeps on taking
What she thought she wanted way back when
It's too late to change her
There's always a stranger
To tell her she's someone again

Repeat chorus

Nickel a dream
Nickel dreams

(bob dipiero, johnny macrae)

You said you were out with a friend
Well your friend left her lipstick in your car again
That mark on your neck didn't get there from shaving
I got a feeling you've been misbehaving

Chorus:
So give me one good reason why i should stay
Just one good reason not to walk away
Must be open season on cheating man-a-tease
And why do you do me this way
Just give me one good reason to stay
And i'll stay

You tell me your love is true
Well is that what you tell all the other girls too
You can't tell the truth babe
You're not even trying
I got a feeling you're just alibing

Repeat chorus x4

(don king, david woodward)

Some come for the music
Some for romance
You gotta be with the boy that brought you to the dance
Then across the room comes a casual glance
And you be making some dime even half the chance

Now some like to look
And some like to touch
All the things that they can't have
Way too much
Some like to get real close to the flame
Once you feel the heat
You know they're never the same

Why do we want
What we know we can't have
Why don't we want
What's in the palm of our hands
Why we always looking
At what's just out of our grasp
Why do we want
What we know we can't have

Well susie was out driving her new corvette
She hadn't made that second payment yet
She rear ended a semi
But not by choice
She was a rubbernecking a new rolls royce

Repeat chorus x2

(bill rice, mary s. rice)

Your letter found me here in denver
I've changed though since i've been here
I've learned there's more to life
Than your promises

There's someone here
In colorado
Who won't forget tomorrow
So you really better love me after this

On a bus somewhere in kansas
Heading home to take my chances
Lord i hope this time you mean
The things you say

I won't say this is the last time
And let you play with my mind
But you really better love me after this

Chorus:
Cause after all the pain we've been through
After all the chances we blew
Doesn't really mean that much to you
But you really better love me

As the bus pulls in the station
I can see you waiting
And i believe we both forget
What we can't forgive

Now we're holding to each other
I can feel my heart recover
And i know you'll gonna love me after this

Cause after all the pain we've been through
After all the chances we blew
I guess we really mean that much to you
Oh you're really gonna love you
Oh you're really gonna love me
Oh you're really gonna love me

(bill rice, mary s. rice)

Honey i know you tried
When you loved me tonight
But the memory slipped from your lips
So if she's on your mind
That much of the time
There ain't no future in this

There was somebody who
Took a whole lot of you
And i guess you're not over it yet
If i'm just
Standing in for a memory then
There ain't no future in this

Cause mine are the arms that hold you
Hers are the arms you miss
So if she's still the one
When it's all said and done
There ain't no future in this

So if she's still the one
When it's all said and done
There ain't no future in this
