An Original Song By: Amy Alls
Let me get a look at you, hey baby
Let me get a better view
Let me get a load of what you got cookin’
Let me take a gander or two
I see it’s not only me
That finds you so delightful
Don’t go
Please stay for a while
So I can get an eyeful
Let me get a look at you, hey baby
Let me get a better view
Let me get a load of what you got cookin’
Let me take a gander or two
I’m lost for words every time
You wander ‘round my way
Don’t go
Please stay for a while
‘Til I know what to say
Let me have another chance, hey mister
Give me just one other try
Oh please let me show you I’m just the sister
To hold you through the night
Just saddle up to me
If you dig this vibe I give
Don’t go
Please stay for a while
I’ll show you how to live
Let me get a look at you, hey baby
Let me
Get a better view!

Happily Ever After Yesterday
An Original Song By: Amy Alls
I wish I didn’t believe in happily ever after
I wish I didn’t feel the need to start again
I hope for the strength to move on and face the past with laughter
I will try until my dying day to live with this pain
Though, sometimes I wish
I could just walk away
And leave yesterday to goodbye
With my hands up
I could give up
I wouldn’t have to live up
To the promise I’d always keep trying
I wish I didn’t believe that love was forever
I wish I didn’t feel the need to always hold on
I hope for the memories to fade so I won’t remember
I will try to fight this refrain ‘til the day I am gone
If I could choose
I would break down and cry
And drown myself in my own tears
With my hands up
I could give up
I wouldn’t have to live up
To the strain on my heart all these years
But I’ll always believe in happily ever after
I will always succumb to the need to start again
I hope for the strength to move on and face the past with laughter
I will try until my dying day to live with this pain
I wish I didn’t believe in happily ever after
I wish I didn’t feel the need to start again
I hope for the strength to move on and face the past with laughter
I will try until my dying day to live with this pain
Though, sometimes I wish
I could just walk away
And leave yesterday to goodbye
With my hands up
I could give up
I wouldn’t have to live up
To the promise I’d always keep trying
I wish I didn’t believe that love was forever
I wish I didn’t feel the need to always hold on
I hope for the memories to fade so I won’t remember
I will try to fight this refrain ‘til the day I am gone
If I could choose
I would break down and cry
And drown myself in my own tears
With my hands up
I could give up
I wouldn’t have to live up
To the strain on my heart all these years
But I’ll always believe in happily ever after
I will always succumb to the need to start again
I hope for the strength to move on and face the past with laughter
I will try until my dying day to live with this pain
Whenever You Touch Me
An Original Song By: Amy Alls
Whenever you touch me
I quiver with delight
Whenever you hold me
I shiver just a little despite
The fact
You make me feel so warm inside
So full of love and so alive
I’m glad to have you in my life
Whenever
You touch
Me
Whenever you whisper
“Sweet nothings” in my ear
You force me to listen
You chase away my fear
Whenever you’re near me
I’ll never be blue
Because I am so certain
I’m never getting over you
Because
You make me feel so warm inside
So full of love and so alive
I’m glad to have you in my life
Whenever
You touch
Me
Yes
Whenever
You touch
Me
Whenever you touch me
I quiver with delight
Whenever you hold me
I shiver just a little despite
The fact
You make me feel so warm inside
So full of love and so alive
I’m glad to have you in my life
Whenever
You touch
Me
Whenever you whisper
“Sweet nothings” in my ear
You force me to listen
You chase away my fear
Whenever you’re near me
I’ll never be blue
Because I am so certain
I’m never getting over you
Because
You make me feel so warm inside
So full of love and so alive
I’m glad to have you in my life
Whenever
You touch
Me
Yes
Whenever
You touch
Me

A Dancer's Body
An Original Song By: Amy Alls
Well I don’t have a dancer’s body
And I don’t have a model’s smile
And maybe I will never be beautiful in your eyes
But, baby, I’d sure like to try
I have seen how you look at other women
I have witnessed that smile on your face
And maybe I won’t ever make you look at me that way
Because, baby, I know my place
I’ve waited so long to feel something inside more than dying
I’ve held on to hopeless devotion throughout all my crying
Now I am trying
To move on
Just as I am
If you can’t see the beauty within me
If you can’t look past all the flaws
Then maybe you should take a closer look at yourself
Because, baby, it’s all your loss
I’ve wasted my life hoping some day I’d be more than my face
I’ve fought my reflection and dealt with rejection from every place
Now I've set the pace
To move on
Just as I am
Even though I don’t have a dancer’s body
And I don’t have a model’s smile
And maybe I will never be beautiful in your eyes
But, baby, I’ll give you a try
Well I don’t have a dancer’s body
And I don’t have a model’s smile
And maybe I will never be beautiful in your eyes
But, baby, I’d sure like to try
I have seen how you look at other women
I have witnessed that smile on your face
And maybe I won’t ever make you look at me that way
Because, baby, I know my place
I’ve waited so long to feel something inside more than dying
I’ve held on to hopeless devotion throughout all my crying
Now I am trying
To move on
Just as I am
If you can’t see the beauty within me
If you can’t look past all the flaws
Then maybe you should take a closer look at yourself
Because, baby, it’s all your loss
I’ve wasted my life hoping some day I’d be more than my face
I’ve fought my reflection and dealt with rejection from every place
Now I've set the pace
To move on
Just as I am
Even though I don’t have a dancer’s body
And I don’t have a model’s smile
And maybe I will never be beautiful in your eyes
But, baby, I’ll give you a try

Those Guys That Make Me Smile
I dig those dark, mysterious guys
With the darker, deep, so serious eyes
Every moment there’s another surpriseThat I can be party to
I dig those cats who are big and strong
That know how to take care of me all night long
Oh they’re always there for me when the going goes wrong
What’s a girl to do
How can I choose just one
When they’re all so much fun
After it’s all said and done
I just can’t decide
I dig those artsy, sensitive types
Standing outside my window on hot summer nights
Quoting poetic verses in costumes with tights
That really makes me swoon
I dig those cats in the snazzy suits
Always opening doors and paying for food
All that traveling in style really gets me in the mood
Sends me to the moon
It’s impossible to keep score
When there are so many more
Qualities I adore
I just can’t decide
But if I had to take a stance
And define romance
I’d say he’s got half a chance
If he can make smile
Yes, I really dig the guys who can make me smile
With the darker, deep, so serious eyes
Every moment there’s another surpriseThat I can be party to
I dig those cats who are big and strong
That know how to take care of me all night long
Oh they’re always there for me when the going goes wrong
What’s a girl to do
How can I choose just one
When they’re all so much fun
After it’s all said and done
I just can’t decide
I dig those artsy, sensitive types
Standing outside my window on hot summer nights
Quoting poetic verses in costumes with tights
That really makes me swoon
I dig those cats in the snazzy suits
Always opening doors and paying for food
All that traveling in style really gets me in the mood
Sends me to the moon
It’s impossible to keep score
When there are so many more
Qualities I adore
I just can’t decide
But if I had to take a stance
And define romance
I’d say he’s got half a chance
If he can make smile
Yes, I really dig the guys who can make me smile

Redemption
Seeing you again
I should have said goodbye
I should have broken ties right there
Seeing you again
I made the same mistake
I tried to make amends but you didn't care
Now I seem to have lost my sense of pride
My state of mind between the lines
My self-reliance undefined
Oh where is my redemption
Seeing you again
Confrontation of the lies
The lies you told to keep it all inside
Seeing you again
Memories flooding through my veins
All the pain I tried so hard to hide
Now I seem to have lost my sense of pride
My state of mind between the lines
My self-reliance undefined
Oh wehere is my redemption
Seeing you again
I should have said goodbye
I should have broken ties
Broken ties right there
I should have said goodbye
I should have broken ties right there
Seeing you again
I made the same mistake
I tried to make amends but you didn't care
Now I seem to have lost my sense of pride
My state of mind between the lines
My self-reliance undefined
Oh where is my redemption
Seeing you again
Confrontation of the lies
The lies you told to keep it all inside
Seeing you again
Memories flooding through my veins
All the pain I tried so hard to hide
Now I seem to have lost my sense of pride
My state of mind between the lines
My self-reliance undefined
Oh wehere is my redemption
Seeing you again
I should have said goodbye
I should have broken ties
Broken ties right there
It's Been Awhile
It's been awhile
Since anyone said my name the way you said my name just now
It's been awhile
Since anyone looked at me the way you looked at me just now
Right here and now
I wasn't born to be hidden away from this world
But somehow I became the invisible girl
So, forgive my reactions if they seem somewhat dry
I'm not used to confrontation and I'm really very shy, because
It's been awhile
Since anyone said my name the way you said my name just now
It's been so long
Since anyone wanted me the way you wanted me just now
Right here and now
I've just been singing my heart out to take away the pain
Somewhere along the way I ran into you again
I'm glad that you noticed me and you looked at me that way
I only wish that I was bold enough to know exactly what to say, but
It's been awhile
Since anyone said my name the way you said my name just now
It's been too long
Since anyone called to me the way you called to me just now
Right here and now
I hope to keep you entertained the best way that I can
Though I'm sure my memory will fade and our time together end
So forgive my intentions if they seem set in stone
But I'm settled walking down this rocky path alone, because
It's been awhile
Since anyone said my name the way you said my name just now
It's been too long
Since anyone cheered me on the way you cheered me on
Just now
Since anyone said my name the way you said my name just now
It's been awhile
Since anyone looked at me the way you looked at me just now
Right here and now
I wasn't born to be hidden away from this world
But somehow I became the invisible girl
So, forgive my reactions if they seem somewhat dry
I'm not used to confrontation and I'm really very shy, because
It's been awhile
Since anyone said my name the way you said my name just now
It's been so long
Since anyone wanted me the way you wanted me just now
Right here and now
I've just been singing my heart out to take away the pain
Somewhere along the way I ran into you again
I'm glad that you noticed me and you looked at me that way
I only wish that I was bold enough to know exactly what to say, but
It's been awhile
Since anyone said my name the way you said my name just now
It's been too long
Since anyone called to me the way you called to me just now
Right here and now
I hope to keep you entertained the best way that I can
Though I'm sure my memory will fade and our time together end
So forgive my intentions if they seem set in stone
But I'm settled walking down this rocky path alone, because
It's been awhile
Since anyone said my name the way you said my name just now
It's been too long
Since anyone cheered me on the way you cheered me on
Just now

Done and Outta Here
Stick a fork in me
I'm done baby
Turn the oven off
I'm fried
This heat in here's too hot for me
I'm burning up inside
In this lifetime
I've been wishing
To be someone I'll never be
Now I'm finished
With my wishing
I'm ready to be free
Stick a fork in me
I'm done baby
Turn the oven off
I'm fried
This heat in here's unbearable
I've got to get outside
I've got to get my life back again
My hopes, my goals, my dreams
There's just one thing
I have left to do
Before I'm back to my old schemes
Stick a fork in me
I'm done baby
Turn the oven off
I'm fried
This heat in here is killing me
I've got to live my life
I'm outta here, baby
Who's got my drink?
A Little More of Me
Maybe if I had been
A little more of me and
A little less of whom
You wanted me to be
Maybe, then maybe
Oh maybe my love
You'd still be around
I've reached for a star
And I've fallen so far
That I thought I'd never
Get up again
I've made some mistakes
'Til I lost what it takes
To keep it together and
Stay on the mend
On the mend and
Maybe if I had been
A little more of me and
A little less of whome
You wanted me to be
Maybe, then maybe
Oh maybe my love
You'd still be around
There's a hold in my heart and
I'm falling apart 'cause
I know that I have
Lost all my chances
And I'm dying inside 'cause
I've lost all my pride and
Maybe I'll never know
What romance is
What romance is anyway
Maybe if I had been
A little more of me and
A little less of whom
You wanted me to be
Maybe, then maybe
Oh maybe my love
You'd still be around
You'd still be around!
This Crazy Girl
Could you just pretend
That you love me for today
Would you please pretend
That I mean anything to you in any way
Could you make believe
That I am better than what you led me to believe
Can you just tell me please
That I am more than just this crazy girl
Would you lie to me
Tell me that I am beautiful
Would you lead me on
Make me feel good just for awhile
Could you fake it out
Make it feel like it's more than what it's all about
Can you just tell me please
That I am more than just this crazy girl
This crazy girl may not deserve love
But that doesn't mean living without it's ever good enough
How much more time do I have to give up
Before
I am more
Than just this crazy girl
Could you just pretend
For one day that it's all true
Could you please pretend
That you want me the way that I need you
Would you make believe
That it's all some great romantic fantasy
Can you just tell me please
That I am more than just this crazy girl
Can you just tell me please
That I am more than just
This crazy girl
I Don't Care
I don't care
That you left me there
All alone
I don't care
That you lied
To all of your friends
I don't care
If your life is spinning
Out of control
Because your life isn't my life anymore
I don't care
That you said you loved me
Then let me go
I don't care
That you spit
In my face
I don't care
That you were ashamed
Of all we had
Because your life isn't my life anymore
Maybe it's harder to sleep at night
When all I think of is what could have been
Maybe my life would be better
If I had never let you in
Now
I don't care
That your promises
Were all in vain
I don't care
That I cry myself to sleep
Every night
I don't care
That you don't need me
To make you smile
Because your life isn't my life anymore
Somehow I should have known
You would leave me in the end
But I wanted so hard to believe
Everything that you said to me
Now
I don't care
That it's over now
And my love is gone
I don't care
That you never
Said goodbye
I don't care
If I never love
Again
Because your life isn't my life anymore
No, your life isn't my life...
I've Been Walking Down That Road
I've been walking down that road of rejection
Adn I don't know how I keep rolling on
I guess I'm just hopelessly starved for affection
So I'll just keep walking down that road all alone
When I fell in love with you
I guess I didn't understand
That a man doesn't love a woman
Just because a woman loves a man
So it took me by surprise
When you walked out that door
Taking every bit of love away
That I had given you before
Leaving me to walk down that road of rejection
Never knowing how I'll keep rolling on
I guess I'm just hopelessly starved for affection
So I'll just keeping walking down that road all alone
If you think you can just walk away
You'd better think again
'Cause I'm gonna love you even if means
We can only be friends
And I have to walk down that road of rejection
Never knowing how I'll keep rolling on
I guess I'll always be hopelessly starved for affection
So I'll just keep walking down that road all alone
Yes, I'll keep walking
Down that road
All alone
My Apology
What do you want from me
I gave you my dignity
There's nothing left of me
To give to you
How can I make you see
I never meant for this to be
The sade result of jealousy
The end of us
I tried too hard and I failed even harder
Now I'm drowning in the waters of this woe
What can I give to you
To prove my intentions true
To change the new point of view
You have of me
I've cried so long and I've tried to be stronger
But I'm lost with this hunger to talk to you again
My soul is spent and dry
I've no more tears left to cry
I just want you to know that
I offer my apology
All that's left of me
All that's left of me
Is yours
Maybe Some Day
Maybe some day I'll come around
Maybe some day I won't be bound by this love
Choosing to live my life in pain
Always standing outside in the rain
Somehow I'll be dry again
Maybe some day
Maybe some day I'll start to see
Maybe some day there's hope for me possibly
And if that day should ever arrive
It will be the first day of my life
Until then I'll just have to survive
Maybe some day
The time moves slower when you're trying to walk too fast
So when the clock turns over, you find you're coming in last again
Maybe some day I'll come around
Maybe some day I'll never frown anymore
So when the clock turns over for me
I'll be ready to face destiny
No more wallowing in misery
Maybe some day
Yeah, maybe some day...
