Annie is good girl She wear’s it well But Annie is hurtin’ And she’s mad as hell Annie is hurtin’ And she’s mad as hell Put your arms around yourself Put your arms around yourself Put your arms around yourself Can’t tell from the outside You were hurt from the outside Where do you go from there When no one knows or cares Where do you go from there When no one knows or cares Put your arms around yourself Put your arms around yourself Put your arms around yourself Sometimes you wander often alone Sometimes you wonder will I ever be home? Put your arms around yourself Put your arms around yourself Put your arms around yourself When you can’t depend on anyone You can depend on someone One day you’ll trust once more ‘Cause that’s what love is for One day you’ll trust once more ‘Cause that’s what love is for Put your arms around yourself Put your arms around yourself Put your arms around yourself

Sun keeps shining and the moon still sets But there is one less plate I guess I feel like crying I feel like crying Mail still coming and the car still runs But tonight there’ll be no fun I feel like crying Feel like crying And I never thought we could go wrong But now I think about it After you’re long gone And I never thought we could go wrong But now I think about it Now that you’re long gone I can smell you still in this room But your coat’s gone And so are your shoes I feel like crying I feel like crying The bed is empty and the sheets tore up Don’t even feel like getting up I feel like crying feel like crying And I never thought we could go wrong But now I think about it After you’re long gone And I never thought we could go wrong But now I think about it Now that you’re long gone na, nas Running fingers through my hair Doesn’t happen when you’re not here I feel like crying I feel like crying Things’ll get better I’ll be alright Now it’s peaceful there’s no more fight I feel like crying feel like crying And I never thought we could go wrong But now I think about it After you’re long gone And I never thought we could go wrong But now I think about it Now I think about it Now I think about it Now that you’re long gone Now that you’re long gone Now that you’re long gone

Daddy Never Told Me Why 03:29
lyrics
buy track
He was born on a farm Worked every day just to get along He knew there had to be a better way Went to school so he could teach someday Daddy always told me, Daddy never told me why Work real hard 'til the day you die Love like it will never end, let the night be your friend Daddy always told me, Daddy never told me why Daddy always told me, Daddy never told me why Told a story as the day was long Eyes lit up his laugh was strong Always be kind, try to be fair Kindness is a gift so why not share Daddy always told me, Daddy never told me why Work real hard 'til the day you die Love like it will never end, let the night be your friend Daddy always told me, Daddy never told me why Daddy always told me, Daddy never told me why I can see him now I close my eyes I see his face I can feel his strength his wisdom and his love for me. He taught me ‘bout truth, that truth is light Darkness is fear, that’s why we fight Love is the power that makes us strong It takes strength to get along. Daddy always told me, Daddy never told me why Work real hard 'til the day you die Love like it will never end, let the night be your friend Daddy always told me, Daddy never told me why Daddy always told me, Daddy never told me, He never told me why
