Penny For Your Thoughts

PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS - Written by Carroll Bryant 

A penny for your thoughts 

A heart for your love

A chance to be with you is all I want 

A hand to always hold 

That will never grow cold 

Darling I'll give you anything you want 

And so I've laid everything on the line 

In hopes that maybe someday you will be mine

I know there's a chance I'm wasting all of my time

But another girl like you is really hard to find 

So, I'll give you A penny for your thoughts 

And I'll give you A heart for all your love

A chance to be with you is all I want

Darling I'll give you anything you want 

And so I see you don't have a word to say

And so I guess I'll just be on my lonely way 

Living inside the hurt every day 

I guess this is the price I have to pay 

I would give you A penny for your thoughts 

And I would give you A heart for all your love

A chance to be with you is all I want

Darling I'll give you anything you want 

A penny for your thoughts 

A heart for your love

A chance to be with you is all I want 

A hand to always hold 

That will never grow cold 

Darling I'll give you anything you want 

Paper Tiger

PAPER TIGER - Written by Carroll Bryant

Just like a paper tiger 

I stand watch

Hear my growl

A paper tiger

I'm on the prowl so

Don't look now, no

You're always hiding in shadows 

You're always wondering which way you should go 

You think you're somebodies hero 

You're putting up a front 

You're so bad but not tough enough 

Just like a paper tiger

Igniting passion with a burning desire 

Just like a paper tiger

On the run to extinguish a fire

That's you

You're always talking in fashion 

You're always handsome but with hearts you be trashing

You think you're good for a snacking 

You're so eager to be fed

You're so alive like the dead 

Just like a paper tiger

Igniting passion with a burning desire 

Just like a paper tiger

On the run to extinguish a fire

That's you

Just like a paper tiger

I stand watch 

Hear my growl

A paper tiger 

I'm on the prowl so

Don't look now, no 

You're always dancing on tombstones

You're always crying whenever you're left alone

You think your heart is your only home

You're so confused to the place that

You can't hide your face 

Just like a paper tiger

Igniting passion with a burning desire 

Just like a paper tiger

On the run to extinguish a fire

That's you

I'm on the prowl so

Don't look now, no

That's you

It Would Be Lonely

IT WOULD BE LONELY - Written by Carroll Bryant 

So many things in this world is so confusing 

So many times I just want to run away

And then when my mind says to leave when I'm losing

You talk some sense into me and then I see right away

That I would be lonely in a room with a million

A city with a billion

And a world with a trillion 

If you were not there or if you didn't care

I wouldn't be the person you see

You're the kind of special sister that every brother needs 

You're so unselfish and giving everyday 

And it's about time that I finally say

That life without you would be oh, so overbearing 

It's just that your heart is so full of graceful caring 

It would lonely

Maybe I need to be more understanding 

I try so hard with the love I have for you 

And you're realistic and so undemanding 

You're more than a relation and friend 

And life without you would be so hard to face 

No one could ever take your place 

You accept me despite all of my mistakes 

You're so forgiving 

And it sure would be lonely without you

You're a special kind of sister 

Taste Of Blood (Taste Of Love)

TASTE OF BLOOD (TASTE OF LOVE) - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Every heart that beats softly must carry a load of pain 

Every soul that's left lonely is in a prison locked away

So take your ticket to fly

Give it up

Don't even give it a second try

Just throw away a tender touch

If you think you've had enough 

Just leave them in the ruins with a taste of blood

The taste of love 

Every word that needs spoken is drying up and evaporating 

Every tear that's left broken are like promises in the dark left anticipating 

So take your ticket to fly

Don't ask questions when it's your turn to lie

Just throw away the things you care about so much 

If you're sure that you've had enough 

Just leave it all in ruins with the taste of blood

The taste of love 

And when the darkness sweeps upon you

Try to find all of the reasons why 

You are here and you're left with nothing 

The danger of this heart of mine is that it will cry at anytime 

You leave it all behind tonight 

Every heart that beats softly must carry a load of pain 

Every soul that's left lonely is in a prison locked away

So take your ticket to fly

Give it up

Don't even give it a second try

Just throw away a tender touch

If you think you've had enough 

Just leave them in the ruins with a taste of blood

The taste of love

My Wife Or My Lover?

MY WIFE OR MY LOVER? - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Another silent Sunday 

The weekend went by so fast 

Looking at the clock I'm thinking 

Hoping that time will quickly pass 

In just another hour 

I'll be on my way tonight 

To cheat on my wife and kids 

But mostly to cheat on my whole life 

There will come a time 

When I will have to say goodbye 

I will have to say goodbye

To one or the other

My wife or my lover

But I have come to discover 

I need what both of them can give to me 

Another silent Sunday and this feeling won't let me be 

I kiss her on the cheek and say I'll be back in a little while 

"Going over to Charlies again?" 

I nod my head yes and give her a smile 

She thinks I'll be playing cards 

And that's okay I suppose

But it would really break her heart 

If only she knew the truth 

I will have to say goodbye

To one or the other

My wife or my lover

But I have come to discover 

I need what both of them can give to me 

Another silent Sunday and this feeling won't let me be

All my life I've been the good guy 

I've watched so many dreams dance away from me 

I love my wife and my children 

But this feeling for the other girl just won't let me be 

Sometimes I need to break free 

In just another hour 

I'll be on my way tonight 

To cheat on my wife and kids 

But mostly to cheat on my whole life 

There will come a time 

When I will have to say goodbye

I will have to say goodbye

To one or the other

My wife or my lover

But I have come to discover 

I need what both of them can give to me

I will have to say goodbye

To one or the other

My wife or my lover

But I have come to discover 

I need what both of them can give to me

Another silent Sunday and this feeling won't let me be 

Sleep

SLEEP - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Sleep

You frightened little girl 

Close your eyes 

And let your hero take you far away 

Ride the clouds that drift so slowly

Across the sky and into your secret land 

Where flowers grow ten feet tall and 

Water flows down a waterfall and 

Castles stand empty inside and 

The peaceful sun shines in your eyes and 

Everything is beautiful and love 

Sleep

You frightened little girl 

Close your eyes 

And let the wizards place you in a spell 

The angels dance with music playing

And poets read from their hearts 

They're saying 

You're so special in every way 

So be a princess everyday and 

Take a hand of my true love and 

Everything will be beautiful again 

Sleep

You frightened little girl

Close your eyes

And let your hero take you far away 

Unsatisfied World

UNSATISFIED WORLD - Written by Carroll Bryant 

So many things seem to be for nothing 

Like the love of a heart that goes up in flames

So insecure and then we're reaching out for something 

All the while, black horses are cursing your name 

We got everything that we could ever want 

But most of us just simply can't afford it

We'll watch anything that really gets us off

Knowing the truth that most of us adore it 

It's just a part of the never ending story 

One for man to give to the pretty girl 

There's only one who is worthy of the glory 

But we know that we're living in it, yeah

An unsatisfied world 

So many goons try their luck at philandering 

Talk, talk, talk, and then they do nothing about it 

So many others take up the art of demanding 

All the while, everybody else will continually doubt it 

We invent everything that we think we will ever need 

Knowing good and well that most of us can't afford it 

We watch the dollar play the part of the whore for us

Much too often, the rest of us adore it 

It's just a part of the never ending story 

One for man to give to the pretty girl 

There's only one who is worthy of the glory 

But we know that we're living in it, yeah

An unsatisfied world

We keep on building everything that we think we want

Knowing all too well that most of us can't afford it

We video everything we think that will get us off

And worst of all is most of us still adore it

The money only makes us whores 

It's just a part of the never ending story 

One for man to give to the pretty girl 

There's only one who is worthy of the glory 

But we know that we're living in it, yeah

An unsatisfied world

An unsatisfied world

An unsatisfied world

The money keeps making us its whore

Divine Madness

DIVINE MADNESS - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Immortality is knocking on my door

I wish to let it in, but not before

Not before the time that is mine 

To die

And come back to tell the facts about the day

After I died 

When faces looked upon me as I laid there in my rest 

Their tears will fall in sorrow as my smile will be its best 

I watch them as they gather at my final resting place 

Their blindness of the world beyond is written on their face 

All I want is for them to be happy 

For my death is my only true peace 

There is no need to weep for I am no longer suffering 

I will finally be free 

(I shall return) 

They will have their questions and struggle with confusion 

Need it be their trouble for the end of my illusion?

For it's my Divine madness to pull the perfect trick 

To reappear and make it clear I'm absolutely sick

(I shall return) 

I hope you'll understand that I'm not really dead

I'm watching you and all you do unless I'm out of my head

(I won't spend forever in my bed) 

For it's my Divine madness to act out my final show 

Now you see it, now you don't 

I will come back after I go 

All I want is for them to be happy 

For my death is my only true peace 

There is no need to weep for I am no longer suffering 

I will finally be free

(I shall return) 

Eighmey

EIGHMEY - Written by Carroll Bryant 

You took me by surprise

You were so hot 

I was lost in your eyes

Like a criminal I was caught

I didn't see the gun in your hand

Until you pulled the trigger 

I was feeling so much like a man who was damned 

Oh, Eighmey

I loved you the best way I could 

Eighmey, I loved you the way I thought was good

Then you broke this heart of mine  

Deaf, dumb, and blind 

You left me to die 

Oh, Eighmey 

You gave me your reasons and while I just can't agree

I was always believing you were the best girl for me

I didn't see the knife at my back

Until the moment you cut me

I was feeling like a lumberjack who was bad ass

Oh, Eighmey

I loved you the best way I could 

Eighmey, I loved you the way I thought was good

Then you broke this heart of mine  

Deaf, dumb, and blind 

You left me to die 

Oh, Eighmey

I loved you so much that I couldn't breathe 

You hurt me so much when you decided to leave

I loved you so much that I was willing to die 

You hurt me so much I just can't stop asking why 

Oh, Eighmey

I didn't see the gun in your hand

Until you pulled the trigger 

I was feeling so much like a man who was damned

Oh, Eighmey

I loved you the best way I could 

Eighmey, I loved you the way I thought was good

Then you broke this heart of mine  

Deaf, dumb, and blind 

You left me to die, girl 

It Isn't Easy Being Me

IT ISN'T EASY BEING ME - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Sure, what you see on the outside might be good

But don't take for granted that it could

Because looks can be deceiving 

Sure, you may think that I have it made 

I look so happy everyday 

But can you ever believe 

It isn't easy being me 

You may think I'm happy and so carefree 

Behind this wall, these feelings you can't see

It isn't easy being me 

So, my ambitions seem to be running wild 

And my face hides the frown with a smile

But appearances can always lie

So, my intelligence seems to impress you 

You're always wondering what it is that I do 

Do you think that I don't cry?

It isn't easy being me 

You may think I'm happy and so carefree 

Behind this wall, these feelings you can't see

It isn't easy being me 

Maybe I have money

Maybe I have brains 

Maybe I have visions

Maybe I just go insane 

Maybe I have lovers

Maybe there's no shame

Maybe I have a special gift 

Maybe that gift brings me a lot of pain 

Sure, what you see on the outside might be good

But don't take for granted that it could

Because looks can be deceiving 

It isn't easy being me 

You may think I'm happy and so carefree 

Behind this wall, these feelings you can't see

It isn't easy being me 

Dead Art Museum

DEAD ART MUSEUM - Written by Carroll Bryant

There is something in the air tonight 

Memories are filling my mind 

First I feel ill and then I'm feeling all right 

After I wipe the tears from my eyes 

The wind blows gently but it feels so cold 

I play with the thoughts I hold so tight 

I see the girl with a heart of stone

She hurts me for the last time 

Love was alive when we were together 

To have it end, I thought never 

Since that time I always think about her 

She touched my soul and love was alive 

There was no sin when we were skin to skin 

But now my heart is in the dead art museum 

Tossed aside by a love that was evil to me 

People and places remind me of you 

Shadows form before my eyes 

I'm tickled pink to the point of feeling blue 

I take a breath and heavily sigh 

The wind blows gently but still gives me the chills 

To pretend you just eats at my heart 

You took a shot at me that was meant to kill 

You hated me right from the start 

There was no sin when we were skin to skin 

But now my heart is in the dead art museum 

Tossed aside by a love that was evil to me

I thought that you were a lover and a friend

Now my heart is in the dead art museum 

Tossed aside by a love that grew angry at me 

Let the fires burn this shit down

Until all that's left is ash

I hope the insurance is all paid up 

Damn this shit is kicking my fucking ass 

You're worse than a genital rash 

There was no sin when we were skin to skin 

But now my heart is in the dead art museum 

Tossed aside by a love that was evil to me

I thought that you were a lover and a friend

Now my heart is in the dead art museum 

Tossed aside by a love that grew angry at me

Sexy

SEXY - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I live life the way that I have to

The way that I like to

Just because I want to

You should live life the same way that I do

Give it more than just a chance and maybe you would find it that 

Life is sexy 

Life is much too sexy

Breathe in the air around you

Listen to the birds that sing it 

Life is sexy

Life is much too sexy

Than to kiss it all away

Don't let it pass you by

I'll keep coming back to say

That you must live it everyday because

Life is sexy 

I need love just the way that you do

Just the way we all do

Just because we need to

There is nothing better than emotions 

Give it more than just a chance

And maybe you would find it that

Love is sexy

Love is much too sexy

Touch the one that's near you 

What you're making is like magic 

Love is sexy

Love is much too sexy

Than to kiss it all away

Don't let it pass you by

I'll keep coming back to say

That you should love someone everyday

Love is sexy 

I know God is the absolute truth

The tree that bears the fruit  

The fountain of my youth

You should know God the way that I do 

Give God more than just a chance 

And maybe you would find it that

God is sexy

God is much too sexy

Feel the light that's in you

Listen to the angels singing

God is sexy

God is much too sexy

Than to kiss your faith away
Don't let it pass you by

I'll keep coming back to say

That you should worship everyday

God is sexy 

Kisses

KISSES - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Kisses of nine be fine 

Nine kisses

Kisses of nine be fine, baby

Kisses 

Nobody's ever told me how to pray 

I don't see the need to bleed but what about the pain?

I never felt such power so bizarre 

Here I go again - touch the skin - baby, tell me who you are 

What kind of religion?

Kisses of nine 

My kind of religion!

And kisses be fine 

The preacher man looks at me just like a fool 

Taking all the money from the people now tell me is that cool? 

There's nothing that I can really do 

Only spread the word and hope you heard because I only speak the truth 

What kind of religion?

Kisses of nine 

My kind of religion!

And kisses be fine 

What kind of religion do you call this?

What kind of religion when a kiss is just a kiss

What kind of religion? 

Kisses of nine

My kind of religion and kisses be fine

Kisses of nine be fine

Nine kisses 

Kisses of nine be fine, baby

Kisses

Web Of The Spider

WEB OF THE SPIDER - Written by Carroll Bryant 

She sits by herself 

All alone

Keeping her eyes peeled for a chance 

To destroy a soul

Break a heart 

Like a beast with desire

She burns in the fire

Taking you down

She's out of control 

In the web of the spider she stalks like a killer

Waiting for you to fly on in 

In the web of the spider you are in danger

You are the victim as she plays to win

Whatever it takes she will do it 

Just to inject her poison in you

Into the dark
You will fall

She builds her trap her crafty home

Keeping her sights on what she wants 

Just a night

Take some love 

Like a sound from a demon 

Her voice is screaming 

She hides in a corner

She's out of her mind 

In the web of the spider she stalks like a killer

Waiting for you to fly on in 

In the web of the spider you are in danger

You are the victim as she plays to win

Whatever it takes she will do it 

Just to inject her poison in you

Into the dark
You will fall

She's a beast of desire burning inside the fire 

Taking you down

She's out of control

Just like a demon her voice is screaming

She hides in a corner

She's out of her mind 

In the web of the spider she stalks like a killer

Waiting for you to fly on in 

In the web of the spider you are in danger

You are the victim as she plays to win

Whatever it takes she will do it 

Just to inject her poison in you

Into the dark
You will fall

Into the dark of it all 

Trapped like the lonely soul that you are 

Caught!

In the web of the spider

And break your heart

The Universe Of The 21st Century

THE UNIVERSE OF THE 21ST CENTURY - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Grab your gun

Johnny run

Fight for life

Fight for freedom

Bow your head

Thank the dead

Pray for life

Pray for freedom 

Time will come for everyone when someone opens their eyes

Time is fun when you're young and dumb 

Much too young to realize you've lost your freedoms

In a time when we machonize our images 

Do we ever look into the eyes of truth? 

I can see all the people staring back at nothing 

I am here while you are there being stupid 

Lost in your demise 

We need peace to replace war and make friends with our own salvation

It's getting so ridiculous anymore that even the unemployed need a vacation 

Buy your house

Buy your car

Buy your life

Buy your freedom 

Take a look

Write your book

A page for life

A page for freedom 

In a world where we get lost in the music 

Do we ever try to get the lyrics right? 

I can see the people video dancing 

Nothing appears in the darkness of night

That it does and or we missed it

Grab your gun

Johnny run

Fight for life

Fight for Freedom

Bow your head

Thank the dead

Pray for life

Pray for freedom

Where is the freedom?

Young Blood

YOUNG BLOOD - Written by Carroll Bryant 

A calculated risk can sometimes be obtuse 

There's just too much to understand

You have to just break loose

You live within a system that you're programmed to obey

No one cares to listen or to help

You're tied up

Can't walk away

And preachers find a way to go to college 

And the money may buy them all kinds of knowledge 

Do they confuse decisions with callings?

The only one who can decide is ......

Young blood

There's a better reason 

Young blood

There's a better plan

Young blood

Watch out for the treason 

Young blood

Growing into a man 

You cannot give an inch because they will take a mile

You work so hard like a superstar 

Amuse them with your smile 

You live within the modern rules and always remain cool

They're still watching you and all you do

A systematic fool

And teachers discover that nothing's funny

And the principle still ain't worth the money

And politics shakes up the economy 

The only thing that matters now is ....

Young blood

There's a better reason 

Young blood

There's a better plan

Young blood

Watch out for the treason 

Young blood

Growing into a man

There's something stirring in your soul

In a matter of time, you will come to know

You can't help the active cautious mind

You can't help to ignore common time 

Be patient 

Such self concern 

It's the bad in life that will help you to learn 

Just who you are 

And where you want to be

Superstar

Just set your spirit free

And preachers find a way to go to college 

And the money may buy them all kinds of knowledge 

Do they confuse decisions with callings?

The only one who can decide is ......

Young blood

There's a better reason 

Young blood

There's a better plan

Young blood

Watch out for the treason 

Young blood

Growing into a man

Young blood

Watching for the seasons 

Young blood

Trying to make a stand 

Young blood

Watch out for the treason

Young blood

Growing into a man 

So, This Is Love?

SO, THIS IS LOVE? - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I never saw what it was but it shot right through my heart

And it almost felt like love

So, this is love? 

Well baby, I thought it was a dream 

I was always wondering what it was you saw in me 

It's crazy but, none the less, it's true

Everything I feel inside is all because of you

You changed my mind about life 

You make the wrong seem right 

I never saw what it was but it shot right through my heart

Flying high on wings of a dove 

I never saw what it was but it shot right through my heart 

And it almost felt like love 

So, this is love? 

Well baby, I need you needing me 

I cannot face the thought of you leaving me 

It's crazy but, more to fact, it's true

I would so much fall apart if ever you do 

You changed my mind about life

Taking everything that was wrong and making it right 

I never saw what it was but it shot right through my heart

Flying high on wings of a dove 

I never saw what it was but it shot right through my heart 

And it almost felt like love

So, this is love? 

You changed my mind about life

Taking everything that was wrong and making it right 

I never saw what it was but it shot right through my heart

Flying high on wings of a dove 

I never saw what it was but it shot right through my heart 

And it almost felt like love

So, this is love? 

What Kind Of Religion (Reprise)

WHAT KIND OF RELIGION (REPRISE) - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Somebody's saying a prayer to save their soul 

Can't they understand that in their hands the power they control? 

I never saw such fascism so bizarre 

Kisses of nine be fine, baby, tell me who you are

And 

What kind of religion do you call yours? 

What kind of religion when a kiss do I adore 

Somebody's saying that I am just not right 

Who the hell are you? What's the truth? And what the hell's the Light? 

I never heard such words so all screwed up

Kisses of nine doesn't rhyme and makes me throw up 

And

What kind of religion do you call yours? 

What kind of religion when a kiss do I adore

What kind of religion do you call yours? 

What kind of religion when a kiss will do for sure

Salem

SALEM - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Riding on the sea of love 

The mighty waves crash against my hope

But my ship is much too strong 

I shall prevail 

The waters run miles so deep

But a captain taught me a lesson I will keep

It doesn't matter if you're right or wrong 

Never let down your sail 

Salem is my name and I ride the mighty waves

On an ocean that is so wild I hide no shame 

Love is my conquest and I do my very best 

To live with happiness and forget about all my pain 

I dock my vessel from port to port 

I never give in to a bad resort 

My will is much too strong

I shall prevail 

I search for love from day to day 

But a captain taught me a lesson and I will say

It doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong 

I'll never let down my sail 

Salem is my name and I ride the mighty waves

On an ocean that is so wild I hide no shame 

Love is my conquest and I do my very best 

To live with happiness and forget about all my pain

Fishing in the dark can get so motley and cushy 

Curvaceous is so dangerous if the desire is too pushy 

I need to write a humoresque about about a love that I can feel 

And take away the cautiousness for a love that's strong and real 

I can feel 

Salem is my name and I ride the mighty waves

On an ocean that is so wild I hide no shame 

Love is my conquest and I do my very best 

To live with happiness and forget about all my pain

Heartbeat

HEARTBEAT - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Love's so scary, love's so strange 

Love's so hairy, love's so changed

I finally feel it when we're holding hands

And when we're making love together

I finally feel like a man

(I can feel it, I can feel it)

And when we're making love together

I finally feel like a man

(I can feel it, I can feel it)

Oh, skip a beat 

Can't you feel my heartbeat? 

Oh, skip a beat, skip a beat

Can't you feel my heartbeat?

And when we're making love together

I finally feel like a man 

(I can feel it, I can feel it) 

Oh, skip a beat 

Can't you feel my heartbeat? 

Oh, skip a beat, skip a beat

Can't you feel my heartbeat?

Oh, skip a beat 

Can't you feel my heartbeat? 

Oh, skip a beat, skip a beat

Can't you feel my heartbeat?

Scripture

SCRIPTURE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Thou shall ascend ;

From thy flesh to thy heart

From thy heart to thy soul 

From thy soul to thy spirit 

From thy spirit to thy love 

Whence forth comes the beast: 

Thous Divine kingdom is that of which; I occupy 

One that is filled 

Filled but never full

One that is dark

Dark but not am I afraid 

A kingdom to become who;

Who - but not thy own self 

Mortal: A God 

A God of power; and move a mountain with that power;

And thous love 

Thous love is a kingdom 

Behold the beast; yet to appear

Appear; thou is vanished 

Vanished; and thou shall descend 

Thou shall ascend ..........

 

Black Cougar

BLACK COUGAR - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Deadly poison 

You injected into me 

Loving motion

You haven't set me free

Deadly poison 

Taste it in my mouth

There's got to be a way ....

There's got to be a way ....

You said you wouldn't hurt me but that was just a lie 

You rose above unselfish love and then you said goodbye 

You took the chance given and you used it well

Now I break for heaven's sake but baby, this is hell 

Deadly poison 

You injected into me 

Loving motion

You haven't set me free

Deadly poison 

Taste it in my mouth

There's got to be a way ....

There's got to be a way ....

Who is gonna getcha? Who is gonna getcha?

Scratch of death 

Black cougar

Who is gonna getcha? Who is gonna getcha?

Scratch of death 

Black cougar

You said things were changing but now it's plain to see

You had plans in your hands but they excluded me 

Funny thing about it I was a fool to believe 

You're like a snake - bend don't break - such opportunity 

You took what was of worth - love - and you made it hurt

Deadly poison 

You injected into me 

Loving motion

You haven't set me free

Deadly poison 

Taste it in my mouth

There's got to be a way ....

There's got to be a way ....

Who is gonna getcha? Who is gonna getcha?

Scratch of death 

Black cougar

Who is gonna getcha? Who is gonna getcha?

Scratch of death 

Black cougar

There's got to be a way ....

There's got to be a way .... OUT!

Probation

PROBATION - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I was raised on the streets 

And I know what fighting for survival means 

Love in the city ain't cheap 

It can cost you a heart and tear you apart

I'm on probation for killing a love

There just came a time when I had enough 

I'm on probation for emotional junk 

Love doesn't last forever and it's time the girl grew up

I'm not as cold as it may seem 

But life is for real and she lives in a dream

People never say what they mean 

But if you don't have a soul then why let them know? 

I'm on probation for killing a love

There just came a time when I had enough 

I'm on probation for emotional junk 

Love doesn't last forever and it's time the girl grew up

It would seem I committed a passionate crime

I used sex as a weapon and my words were just lies
The same thing was done to me

Now I do it to you

You'll never understand the sting 

If you can't ever forgive the truth

Oh, girl

How blind can a young person be?

Oh, girl

How many times do you think you will scream?

Pay it forward 

I was raised on the streets 

And I know what fighting for survival means 

Love in the city ain't cheap 

It can cost you a heart and tear you apart

I'm on probation for killing a love

There just came a time when I had enough 

I'm on probation for emotional junk 

Love doesn't last forever and it's time the girl grew up
