06. Nuthin' I Wouldn't Do (For A Woman Like You)
I got snakes around my ankles, bats all in my hair
I fight tigers with a toothpick, just to prove to you I care
I know you don't expect it yeah
I can make this dream of mine come true
Oh yes I do

In this crazy world we live in
There's nuthin' that I wouldn't do for a woman like you

Now age is not a barrier, it don't get our way
It's love that really matters now, it's love that makes you stay
If I can't explain it yeah
I can make those dreams of mine come true
Oh yes I do

All you need to do is trust me yeah
Nuthin' that I wouldn't do for a woman like you

My life is all a wonder, the truth is all around
I just can't get over baby, all the happenings I've found
I could never love another, though in love like this is nuthin' new
Oh nuthin' new

All you need to do is ask me baby
There's nuthin' that I wouldn't do for a woman like you
Nuthin' I wouldn't do…

07. Colour And Shape
Down here in New Orleans, prayin' for holy water
To rain on down, rain on down on me
I got to tell you how I feel
And I don't care as long as it's a side that's real

Like a dark cloud that casts no shade
Seven days pass I still pray for rain
I want to see things my way;
I will add colour and shape

Now I'm frozen in time, bound by convictions
Obey the trust - things I learned long ago
Please now spare me, spare me your old folklore
All I really want are things they were before

Like a dark cloud that casts no shade
Seven days pass I still pray for rain
I want to see things my way;
I will add colour and shape

Like a dark cloud that casts no shade
Seven days pass I still pray for rain
I want to see things my way;
I will be be who I am and see things my way;
I will add colour and shape

08. Headaches To Heartbreaks
I have my bad days, have my good days too
They all coincide with my new attitude yeah
And pretty baby to the blues I sing - it's my only teacher

Just headaches to a heartbreak
Never meant to (need help here)
I feel like I've been used, never want to see you again

But it's bittersweet, and interesting what the world brings;
I know that now
I'm gonna have my say - this is time when I turn the page;
Headaches to heartbreaks

I'm from the old school, like the old rules
Don't care anymore what you're gonna do
Just shake up the system, (need help here) listen to you

A friend of mine, past his prime
Struggled for a chance to make a dime
Now for no reason he committed treason again

But it's bittersweet, interesting what the world brings;
I know that now
I'm gonna have my say - this is time when I turn the page;
Headaches to heartbreaks

09. Trouble Waiting
Well I just can't win - there's no place to turn
I keep makin' the same mistakes and never seem to learn
There's no place to go - no place to stay
Trouble waitin' for me baby every day

I've got trouble waiting, yeah I've got trouble waiting
With every corner and every which way, There's trouble waiting every day

I'm all tangled up - yes it's a shame
I ain't got nobody but myself to blame

I've got trouble waiting, yeah I've got trouble waiting
With every corner and every which way, There's trouble waiting every day

I want to point the finger - blame somebody else
Then there's three more fingers pointing right back at myself

I've got trouble waiting, yeah there's trouble waiting
‘Round every corner and every which way, Trouble waiting every day
Yeah there's trouble waiting - every day
Yeah there's trouble waiting - every day
From every corner and every which way
There's trouble waiting

10. If Heartaches Were Nickels
I wish you could see me
All broken down this way
But even if you saw me, baby
I know I still couldn't make you stay
Couldn't make you stay

You know about the high cost of loving
But someday, someday
You're gonna have to pay
Gonna have to pay

Oh, a woman like you needs fine things
And I knew it from the start
And I don't have much to offer
Just this old broken heart, hey baby
Just this old broken heart
But if heartaches were nickels
I wouldn't be here crying in the dark

If wine and pills were hundred dollar
Bills, I might keep you satisfied
And if broken dreams were limousines
I might take you for a ride

And all I can do is think of you
And wish you were here by my side
Yes, if heartaches were nickels
I'd be the richest fool alive

11. Current Situation
Don't have no trial held against me baby
Before I have a chance to explain my side
Don't have no trial held against me baby
Before I have a chance to explain my side
Although there's just some rumors just a flyin'
I want you to believe - I can testify

Goin' to live life on my own
Not gonna catch that train
Got this blues in my soul
And I don't feel ashamed
Because it's my current situation
My current situation must change

Cuz all I really need
All I really need are some new ways

Goin' to live life on my own
I'm not gonna catch that train
Got this blues in my soul
And I don't feel ashamed
Because it's my current situation
My current situation must change

All I really need...
All I really need...
All I really need are some new ways, yeah

12. Don't Burn Down That Bridge
You got your mind set on leavin'
Drive down a one-way street
You're gonna lock up all the doors child
Throw away the key

Don't burn down that bridge darlin'
Just might want to come back
'Cuz the grass ain't no greener
On the other side of the track

Well you counted me out
'Fore I could get you back
Today I'm drivin' a Chevrolet darlin'
Tomorrow might be a Cadillac

Don't burn down that bridge darlin'
Just might want to come back
‘Cuz the grass ain't no greener
On the other side of the track

All your so-called friends
Taught you how to cheat and lie
Now you say you're gonna jump honey
From the fryin' pan into the fire

Don't burn down that bridge darlin'
Just might want to come back
‘Cuz the grass ain't no greener
On the other side of the track
