The Business

THE BUSINESS - Written by Carroll Bryant


Been missing you since Christmas
When you failed to come around
You keep giving me the business
And the word’s all over town

It’s been driving me so crazy
I thought I was your only clown
You keep giving me the business
And it’s been getting me down

I can’t keep chasing your shadow
Or reaching for your hand
Everywhere that you go
Is exactly where I am

My heart just keeps on breaking
Your heart’s on the lamb
You keep giving me the business
I’ve been trying to take a stand

 Been missing you since New Years
When I had to dull the pain
You set fire to my tears
I couldn’t even feel the flame

There’s no time like the present
To keep living in the game
You keep giving me the business
I’ve been trying to spell your name

I can’t keep chasing your shadow
Or reaching for your hand
Everywhere that you go
Is exactly where I am

My heart just keeps on breaking
Your heart’s on the lamb
You keep giving me the business
I’ve been trying to take a stand

Been missing you since Christmas
When you failed to come around
You keep giving me the business
And the word’s all over town

It’s been driving me so crazy
I thought I was your only clown
You keep giving me the business
And it’s been getting me down

You keep giving me the business
And now my heart wants to shut-down

Things Like Love

THINGS LIKE LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant


Yesterday feels just like a dream
Voices in the night become my screams
Holding your hand as I grew up
Never to believe in things like love

Dancing in the rain and we're all wet
Memories that I just can't forget
Touching you and not much less
The shaking of my soul from my distress 

Playing the part I knew so well
Pain in the heart that put me through hell 
Discovered a truth, the lies, the sun
Never to believe in things like love

Given to me, the king, the crown
Looking away as you look down
Meaning of words I can't relay 
They haunt me still, even to this day

You said to leave and so I left
Packed up my life and some regrets 
A strangers words are worth so much
Never to believe in things like love

And to the time that passes me by
Tears I never meant to cry
Is all a part of growing up
Never to believe in things like love

Little boys are supposed to be tough
Never to believe in things like love

Goodbye angel

Driving The Young Boys Insane - By Carroll Bryant

At long last .... my new song titled, "Driving The Young Boys Insane". It took a while, but it's finally done. It would have been done on September 2nd had it not been for my heart attack. Better late than never though, right? ... I hope you like it.

My Pen

MY PEN - Written by Carroll Bryant


Take away my pen
And I'm just an ordinary man
Take away my dream
And there's nothing left inside of me

You can take my soul 
It's got nowhere else to go
And you can take my life
Because I have another one on the side

You can take what is left of me
Or leave my person behind
Just don't laugh when I take it back
Because you know that I'm so blind

You can try and change the course
Of my ship that sails the ocean
But don't let it get to the point
To where you'll want to change my emotion

So take away my pen
Time and time again
Who knows, you might lose
Then again - you just might win

The Girl Isn't Innocent

THE GIRL ISN'T INNOCENT - Written by Carroll Bryant


Who is gonna getcha? Who is gonna getcha?
Scratch of death
Black cougar


I can believe that what you see
In her white dress
She looks so sweet
But take my word for it
The girl isn't innocent

I know it's hard for you to heed
Words to you
That a stranger speaks
But take my experience 
The girl isn't innocent

I cannot tell you why
The girl will tell you a million lies
She will see other guys
She'll cut your throat and leave you to die

I can believe that what you see
In her bikini
She is a dream
But take it from me
The girl isn't innocent

I know it's hard to believe
Inside an angel
She is an evil seed
But listen to my plea
The girl isn't innocent

I cannot tell you why
The girl will tell you a million lies
She will see other guys
She'll cut your throat and leave you to die

I know it's hard for you to see
How could a demon be so sweet?
She will break your heart
The girl isn't innocent

I know it's hard to believe
You think she'll stay and never leave
She will tear you all apart
The girl isn't innocent

Take my experience ... the girl isn't innocent

Halo

HALO - Written by Carroll Bryant


Poor boy living in the streets
Watching the white swan sing its song
In everyone he meets

Talking 'bout poor boy living in the streets
Watching the white angel dance along
With everyone he sees

Halo, where's my halo?
Halo, why in the world to die?
Halo, where's my halo?
Halo, why water in my eyes?

Poor girl working in the streets
Watching the white swan sing its song
In everyone she meets

Talking 'bout poor girl working in the streets
Watching the white angel dance along
With everyone she sees

Halo, where's my halo?
Halo, why in the world to die?
Halo, where's my halo?
Halo, why water in my eyes?

Everybody be fighting for nothing to lose
When you aint got nothing in life
You aint got a choice to choose

Everybody be living with nothing to lose
When you aint got money or pride
You aint got a lot to choose

Poor boy living in the streets
Watching the white swan sing its song
In everyone he meets

Talking 'bout poor girl working in the streets
Watching the white angel dance along
With everyone she sees

Halo, where's my halo?
Halo, why in the world to die?
Halo, where's my halo?
Halo, why water in my eyes?

For Loves Sake

FOR LOVES SAKE - Written by Carroll Bryant


We could carry the precious of souls
We can lift it higher, girl don't you know?

Feeling there's a reason so listen to me
It will never be easy because love isn't free

Why do we have to fight so hard?
There is no need to keep breaking each others hearts 

For loves sake let's find a way baby
For loves sake let's keep it together
No more heartaches, no more tears in the night
For loves sake let's try one more time to get it right

Walking through the city tonight as it sleeps
I can feel the pressure as I hear you weep

Knowing there's an answer but it's nowhere in sight
It will never be easy for as long as we fight

Why do we have to try so hard? 
Arguments only keep breaking us apart

For loves sake let's find a way baby
For loves sake let's keep it together
No more heartaches, no more tears in the night
For loves sake let's try one more time to get it right

Why do we keep fighting so hard? 
There is no need to keep breaking each others hearts
Tearing each other apart
Baby, we got to stop fighting .........

For loves sake let's find a way baby
For loves sake let's keep it together
No more heartaches, no more tears in the night
For loves sake let's try one more time to get it right
We can get it right

Baby, if you take my hand
Baby, say you understand
Baby, I'll be a better man
You just be my lady

Baby, you know we can get it right
Let's make love baby, not war
There's no need for us to fight
We're on the same side of love

For loves sake
For loves sake

You Don't Want To Fall In Love

YOU DON'T WANT TO FALL IN LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant


Maybe she'll kiss you
Maybe she won't
Don't laugh - she is hard to catch

You know what you want
She don't
She don't know a thang

Sometimes her love is free
So why does she sell it to me?
Is this how it should be?
Then why does she sell it?

You don't want to fall in love
I've been there - all the way
So take my word for it
You don't want to fall in love
Just don't care - in anyway
So don't you bet on it

Maybe she'll touch you
Maybe she won't
Don't cry - she is hard to hurt

You know what you want
She don't
She don't know a thang

Sometimes her love is need
So why does she make me bleed?
All I want is pleased
Then why does she fake it?

You don't want to fall in love
I've been there - all the way
So take my word for it
You don't want to fall in love
Just don't care - in anyway
So don't you bet on it

Elevator ride goes up and down
Kind of like the love I thought I found
Thought that it was nice
Thought that it was sweet
Thought that she would be everything I need
But I jumped the gun and came in last
Like all good things will come to pass
My heart was true, but where were you?

My heart was true

Sometimes her love is free
So why does she sell it to me?
Is this how it should be?
Then why does she sell it?

You don't want to fall in love
I've been there - all the way
So take my word for it
You don't want to fall in love
Just don't care - in anyway
So don't you bet on it

Pure Love (Keep Taking Chances)

PURE LOVE (KEEP TAKING CHANCES) - Written by Carroll Bryant


Well, I know Jackie
She is a friend and she talks to me
She tells me of her lonely heart then bows her head
And cries through an endless night
As I hold her

I say, there is a million other fish in the sea
But she doesn't know that the heart that loves her
Belongs to me

I tell her, I say
When you know what it is you're looking for
Once you find it you're never gonna let it go
Because when you find what it is you're looking for
You're gonna hold on tight with all of your might for the rest of your life

Keep on taking those chances

I lift her head and dry her eyes
As it tears me apart because I am just a friend
She starts into details about other guys
And I don't know why I keep it all in

I'm just strong sometimes

I say, so maybe this time, true love didn't find you
But if you turn your head and look around
Love is right behind you

I tell her, I say
When you know what it is you're looking for
Once you find it you're never gonna let it go
Because when you find what it is you're looking for
You're gonna hold on tight with all of your might for the rest of your life

Keep on taking those chances

I don't have the nerve to break the news
That the one who loves Jackie, wears my shoes
I can only hold her like a friend should do
As she cries about a man whose love wasn't true

It's hard to figure out what Jackie's looking for
If it's love, pure love, no need to look anymore
But love is never easy
It's a real hard game
So it'll be my secret
It'll be my pain
But one of these days, and I know up-front
That when she looks into my eyes she will fall in love
Pure love - Jackie
You are love, Jackie

When you know what it is you're looking for
Once you find it you're never gonna let it go
Because when you find what it is you're looking for
You're gonna hold on tight with all of your might for the rest of your life

Keep on taking those chances

On The Edge Of Hell (God Almighty)

ON THE EDGE OF HELL (GOD ALMIGHTY) - Written by Carroll Bryant


God almighty strike the fear
Lightening strikes into my head
Satan's wrath is drawing near
Much too soon we'll all be dead

Counting our sins on the edge of hell
Writing our stories
To which someday someone will tell

Sins salvation
Dig a hole in the ground 
Shake hands with Satan
Sins salvation
If you don't have a mind then you won't understand

God almighty dry the blood
It drips from the hands of man
Satan's wrath is without love
All too soon we will be dead

Dancing with sins on the edge of hell
Creating stories
To which someday someone will tell

Sins salvation
Dig a hole in the ground 
Shake hands with Satan
Sins salvation
If you don't have a mind then you won't understand

"Deep within the pits of fire, Lucifer laughs and becomes your father. Jesus, the enemy, will do nothing. But God almighty have mercy. Because on the edge of hell, you have but one choice. Better make that choice now. Because the manifestations of the devil on his day - none shall be excused - we are all his prey."

Knocking down the doors on the edge of hell
Arranging stories
To which someday someone will tell

Sins salvation
Dig a hole in the ground 
Shake hands with Satan
Sins salvation
If you don't have a mind then you won't understand

Just Say No

JUST SAY NO - Written by Carroll Bryant


You are all I think about
Can't ever imagine someone else by my side
You're in my heart
Can't get you out
Oh baby, you live in my life

If people try and tell you that love is touch and go
Don't listen to their warning
Girl, just say no

Just say no to all those silly lines from those other guys
When you know that I love you
Just say no and love me with some pride
And it will be all right
Because you know that I love you

You are all I dream about
Can't ever imagine being without you
You're in my heart
Can't get you out
Oh baby, my feelings are so true

If people try and tell you that love is touch and go
Don't listen to their warning
Girl, just say no

Just say no to all those silly lines from those other guys
When you know that I love you
Just say no and love me with some pride
And it will be all right
Because you know that I love you

Check this out girl, and take a chill pill
You know I love you
I always will
It doesn't really matter what other people say
It only comes down to you and me

We're sweating it out but this love is good
To have it work out
I think we could make it
Don't break us apart
Because it'll only leave us both with a broken heart

Now I said it once and I'll say it again
It would be a shame if we packed it all in
And take this for what it's worth
I love you so bad that it hurts like crazy
You're my only baby
I can't look into the eyes of any other lady
Because I love you

If people try and tell you that love is touch and go
Don't listen to their warning
Girl, just say no

Just say no to all those silly lines from those other guys
When you know that I love you
Just say no and love me with some pride
And it will be all right
Because you know that I love you

Poem

POEM - Written by Carroll Bryant


Words that flow in rhythm 
I like to make them rhyme
I could write about loving you
And you know, I could love you everyday
And for always - all the time

Maybe I am a poet
And maybe you think that's sweet
But all I really want from you
Is for you to make sweet love to me

I dedicate this poem to your heart
And the art of loving you
Because I do
I do truly love you

Letters that go side by side
They look good when read by loving eyes

You got that light
You got that light that shines
Are you surprised that I feel this way?

Now that it's no secret
To know I can't shake this thing
I prove to you my worthy love
I give to you a diamond ring

I dedicate this poem to your soul
And the art of loving you
Because I do
I do truly love you

I dedicate this poem to your heart
And the art of loving you
Because I do
I do truly love you

So maybe I am a poet out to write about my love
But girl, I just can't help it
You're all I'm thinking of

I dedicate this poem to your heart
And the art of loving you
Because I do
I do truly love you

I dedicate this poem to your soul
And the art of loving you
Because I do
I do truly love you

The Living Goes On (Part 2)

THE LIVING GOES ON (PART 2) - Written by Carroll Bryant


And the living goes on
Days roll into another 
And just like a song
We keep on going forward
Always repeating ourselves until the lyrics become old

As it is
They speak of sins
And we're living in them until we're dead
And when we are dead we are really dead
At least we are to the living because the living goes on

Live in sins
We're born into them
We live with them
We die in them
We take them to our end
While the living goes on

The living goes on

Pray with me my sister, brother 
Stay with me my mother, father
Give to me my son, daughter
I hear laughter
The dead is dead
Trail of life
We can't run
We can't hide
The only thing left is to die

The living goes on

Live in sins 
Inside of them
On and on
No one can stop them
We take them as we give them
Souls filled with them - for him

And then we see that message in the sky
A bolt of lightening to come flashing by
A miracle - but still - we falter 
Then we wonder why we are not worthy

Listen to what I'm saying

The living goes on ..... living in sins

Slip Of The Tongue

SLIP OF THE TONGUE - Written by Carroll Bryant


Oh, no, it's just a slip of the tongue
I surely didn't mean to love someone 

Ohhhhhhhhhhh, nooooooooooo

Strip tease and please the audience 
They're watching with delight 
Steady for the camera
Barbara's daring tonight

That skin, that body
Shimmers with desire
That beautiful hair, beautiful face

She's wired for the action
Handing out love with satisfaction
She's wired for the action
Bending over me on the stage and in my face
She's naked!

Oh, no, it's a slip of the tongue
Just having fun
Oh, no, it's a slip of the tongue
I surely didn't mean to love someone
Like I love you

I love the way you feel on my tongue

Strip tease and please
You're the answer to my dreams
What I wouldn't give for you to bed with me

You are the kind of lady that could break my heart
Never let it end once it starts, I say

She's wired for the action
Handing out love with satisfaction
She's wired for the action
Bending over me on the stage and in my face
She's naked!

Oh, no, it's a slip of the tongue
Just having fun
Oh, no, it's a slip of the tongue
I surely didn't mean to love someone
Like I love you

I love the way you feel on my tongue

Strip tease and please
Steady for the camera
You are such delight
Barbara's daring tonight

That skin, that body
Shimmers with desire
That beautiful hair, beautiful face

She's wired for the action
Handing out love with satisfaction
She's wired for the action
Bending over me on the stage and in my face
She's naked!

Oh, no, it's a slip of the tongue
Just having fun
Oh, no, it's a slip of the tongue
I surely didn't mean to love someone
Like I love you

I love the way you feel on my tongue

Slip of the tongue
Slip of the tongue
It's a slip of the tongue

Slip of the tongue
Slip of the tongue
It's a slip of the tongue

Just having fun

I'm nasty - yeah!
