Shout It Out

Without a doubt, girl, you're ahead of your time
Let's go out on the town
Give it a piece of your mind
You've been going 'round and 'round in your head
So don't think twice
You'll end up worse than you've been

'Cause I know that you've been thinkin' 'bout it
And I know they think you're out of your mind
All of this time
I know that you've been waiting for this

So come on, shout it out so everybody can hear
There's no need to rhyme it: the message is clear
You know I can't ignore
So I don't know what you're waiting for
But you're trying hard not to show it

'Cause I know that you've been thinkin' 'bout it
Well, I know they think you're out of your mind
All of this time
I know that you've been waiting for this
Come on, come on
I know that you've been waiting for this

Can't figure out how we made it this far
If you don't mind me sayin'
There's no sense in waiting so
Shout it out, shout it out
Shout it out, shout it out
You can't deny it, you can't deny it

'Cause I know that you've been thinkin' 'bout it
And I know they think you're out of your mind
All of this time
I know that you've been waiting so
You can't deny
I know that you've been waiting for this
I know that you've been waiting for this

Well, I don't care what you say
I don't have use for your words anyway
You don't need a Cadillac
'Cause I'll be waiting with my bare back
To carry you there

Try and you don't have to be afraid
To just rely
On someone to hold away part of you child
It's all right
You can get too much to handle by yourself
If you can't do it alone, I know you will say
I don't know what's at stake
Or what it takes

Well, I don't care what you say
I don't have use for your words anyway
You don't need a Cadillac
'Cause I'll be waiting with my bare back
To carry you there

Turn around
And you just might see the good
You've left behind
But you're all caught up
In what's still left to find
And it's never enough
So slow down
And the root of what you're feeling might appear
When all the pushin' up the hill has brought you here
And you're used up
To the line
If you tell me you are fine

Well, I don't care what you say
I don't have use for your words anyway
You don't need a Cadillac
'Cause I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting)
To carry you there
Oh yeah

Say, don't be too proud
I'm holding my hand out
You've been my friend on darker days
See, I'll still be there
Despite your despair
And I don't really care what you say
Hey, hey, hey

[Repeat: x11]
I will carry you there

All this time
Ive been bearing it alone
Never had a single doubt in my mind
You passed me by
When I was barely hanging on
But you were there when I was doing just fine

Caroline

Gonna take your own advice
Won't think twice
Because you are not worth my time

'Cause you'll be there waiting when I'm back on top
And you'll be there saying you gave me what I've got

You're just another voice in the chorus
You're just another voice in the chorus
Singing, just another voice in the chorus
Say you knew it all along

You're just another voice in the chorus
You're just another voice in the chorus
Singing, just another voice in the chorus
Bet you knew it all along

Tell me where you have been all this time,
Caroline

Big surprise
You're the last one to arrive
And the first to cut in line
Sacrifice
Something you don't know about
But something I can't get around
In my life

'Cause you'll be there waiting when I'm back on top
And you'll be there saying you gave me what I've got

But you're just another voice in the chorus
You're just another voice in the chorus
Singing, just another voice in the chorus
Say you knew it all along

You're just another voice in the chorus
You're just another voice in the chorus
Singing, just another voice in the chorus
Bet you knew it all along

Tell me where you have been all this time,
Caroline
Ooo

Woah woah
Woah woah
Woah woah
Woah woah

'Cause you've never really known
Until you're all on your own
And the words come out all wrong
Oh you've never really known
Oh you never really know
Til its dark and its cold
There's no one to call you home
Oh you've never really known
Your true colors will be shown
When you're out all alone
And everything comes out all wrong
When you find it you will know

Oh oh

You're just another voice in the chorus
You're just another voice in the chorus
Bet you knew it all along

Woah woah
Woah woah
Woah woah
(Knew it all knew it all knew it all along)

I'll give you what I hear
When she walked in with her painted lips
Did she tease you for your flirty quips
Did she leave you frozen with the wrong words chosen
You gotta show her why she can't resist
Make her blush now, you put your hands on her hips
She's gonna keep on playing until you stop chasing
So wrap your arms around her body, tell her all she needs to know

Give a little heart and soul
Let your body lose control
Give a little oh oh oh
Give a little
Wrap your arms around
Give a little

You gotta show her when she can't decide
You gotta hold her, with that look in your eyes
When you move in close take your time
Leave an empty shoulder, let her move in closer
And wrap your arms around her body, tell her all she needs to know

Give a little heart and soul
Let your body lose control
Give a little oh oh oh
Give a little
Wrap your arms around
Give a little
(Wrap your arms around her body)
(Know you wanna hold her body yeah)
(Wrap your arms around her body)

When she loves to keep you in suspense
Know she loves to keep you in suspense
But she knows she just wants to dance

Give a little heart and soul
Let her body loose control
Give a little oh oh oh
Give a little
Wrap your arms around
Give a little
(Wrap your arms around)
(You know you wanna hold her)
(Wrap your arms around)
Give a little

Somebody let me down
Somebody show me love
I wouldn't care much either way
I'd rather the sticks and stones
Than dragging the ball and chain
Of what if the world won't take me?
Even if the holes should crack
And even if the blood flows red
Nothing could be worse than numb

So, please, use me up
I just want anyone to use me up
'Cause no one ever does
Use me up

I've carried it all too long
The fear of the pain it brings
Feeling the panic building up
I'd rather the broken heart
Than live in the emptiness
Of what if the world won't save me?
Even if the bow should break
Even if the blood runs cold
Nothing could be worse than numb

Please, use me up
I just want anyone to use me up
'Cause no one ever does
Use me up
Use me up

Treat me somewhat cruel
You can throw me away
As long as I feel it
Show me something real
You can deceive me
I am yours to use
Use me up
Use me up
Use me up

It must be the end of the road
It must be the end of you and I
And forever too
Walking the last bridge alone
We've given up on the good times
And the bad we knew

When I'm alone in a cold, dark room, well
There's still someone
That I can tell my troubles to

Me, myself, and I will never be alone
We'll find a way to get along
And we'll be fine
When all that's left is me, myself, and I
Myself and I will never be alone
We will find a way to get along
And we'll be fine
When all that's left is me, myself, and I

When did it start getting old?
When did it stop being worth the time
Just to see it through?
I don't wanna get used to "It's over"
We've already said too much
To make it new

When I'm alone in a cold, dark room, well
There's still someone
That I can tell my troubles to

Me, myself, and I will never be alone
We'll find a way to get along
And we'll be fine
When all that's left is me, myself, and I
Myself and I will never be alone
We will find a way to get along
And we'll be fine
When all that's left is me, myself, and I

Well, it's hard to see you don't belong to me
'Cause I gave you the best part of my life
Well, I tried to be everything that you want me to be
But I don't have to give you reasons why
'Cause all that's left is me, myself, and I

I'm not gonna try to forget
Maybe happiness
Is worth the chance of a bitter end
'Cause here at the end of the road
I don't really care who is right
I'll give you the last word tonight

'Cause me, myself, and I will never be alone
We'll find a way to get along
And we'll be fine
When all that's left is me, myself, and I
Myself and I will never be alone
We will find a way to get along
And we'll be fine
When all that's left is me, myself, and I
