Work

It starts when we are young
crwling
standing
walking
talking
carrying on to school
homework
classwork
graduation
college
moving fast and furious in your lif
apartment
job
marriage
house
family
just vwhen you bthink its about to end
it slaps you in the face once again
if you haven't figured it out
let me go right ahead and give it a shout
     
           "WORK"

My Kinda Love

LOVE...
  LOVE IS BEING WITH FAMILY
  LAUGHING AT JOKES EVERYONE SAYS 
  BENG A SILLY FAMILY WE ARE 
 
  LOVE IS SITTING BY TH FIRE ON COLD WINTER NIGHTS 
  DANCING AROUND WHILE LISTENEING TO THE RADIO 
  SNUGGLING TOGETHER FOR WARMTH 
 
  LOVE IS FALLING ASLEEP ON MOMMY AND DADDYS LAP 
  DADDY CARRING YOU TO YOUR ROOM 
  MOMMY KISSING YOUR FORHEAD

  LOVE IS FAMILY 
  BEING BY YOR SIDE NO MATTER WHEN 
  HOLDING YOU TIGHT
  LOVING YOU EVERY MOMENT

Ha Ha

THERE ONCE WAS A DOG
WHO SAT ON A LOG
HE LOVED TO PLAY IN THE GASS
SWIM IN THE OCEAN AND CATCH BIG BASS
WENT BACK TO THE LOG WITH THAT BIG BASS
STRETCHED OUT AND STARTED EATING THE BSS
AS HE LAID STRETCHED( AND FULL ) OUT ON THE GRASS
THERE WAS NOTHING BUT LEFT OVERS OF THAT BASS
SPREAD OUT ALL OVER THAT GRASS

Why

WHY OH WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO 
I HOPE SOMEDAY MY SOUL WILL KNOW
THE DAY YOU LEFT MY HEART TOOK QUITE BLOW
OH WHY OH WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO 

IT STARTED SO GREAT THIS THING CALLED LOVE
BUT THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED (COLD HUGS) 
THE BUTTERFLIES SEEMED TO DISAPPEAR
LIES JUST POURED OUT OF OUR TEARS

WHY OH WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO 
I HOPE SOMEDAY MY SOUL WILL KNOW 
WHY OH WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO 
I PRAY OUR LOVE WILL AGAIN GROW

Teenager

As I watch you grow, I can't help but think,
How these teenage years are realy gonna stink
Where are the times you needed me from morning til night
Now i'm lucky to hear you say GOODNITE
I remeber the days you woke with a huge smile, now you 
wake up like life is a puddle of bile
I'm just glad the one thing hasn't changed,
The LOVE in your eyes when glances are exchanged
So even though these years will not be a bundle of fun
years from now we can sit and laugh about what was done

Sealed With a Kiss

A hole has begun to form in my heart
My world has begun to be torn apart
Blackness fills me like the depths of the sea
Why is it I feel I can't break free
Emptiness flows like a raging river
Didn't think the hole could get bigger
There you are with blinding eyes
Watching my life just slip right on bye
Just when I thought it couldn"t get worse
You made my heart completly burst
Nomore hole,emptiness, or blackness
Just my death sealed with a kiss

I Don'T Understand

WHY DO PEOPLE DRINK AND DRIVE
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY DO PEOPLE SMOKE FUNNY THINGS
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY DO PEOPLE DIE SO YOUNG 
I DON'T UNDERSTAND

WHY ARE PEOPLE GRUMPY IN THE MORNING
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY DO FAMILIES ARGUE OVER SILLY THINGS
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY DON'T PEOPLE UNRSTAND COPS ARE HERE TO HELP
I DON'T UNDERSTAND

WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE MOST 
WHY IS THE SKY SO BLUE
WHY IS THE BEACH SAND SO HOT
WHY DO HOUSES GET BIGGER 
WHY DO THEY MAKE NEW CARS
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND

Why Did You Have To Go

I was happy now im sad 
     I watched you walk, walk away
     Iwatched you disappeir
     Why did you have to go


     I sit down thinking.....
     why does it have to be this way
     then i look at the picturure 
     why did you have to go


     i feel a tear run down my face 
     quickly i wipe it way
     then more come sliding down
     why did you have to go

Childhood

OMG THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE FUN, 
BUT I SO CAN'T WAIT UNTIL IT'S DONE
GIRLFRIENDS,BOYFRIENDS I WISH I HAD NONE
THIS IS SUCH A PAIN
WOW I HAVE WEIGHT GAIN
I'M TO YOUNG FOR ALL THIS
I THINK MY PARENTS ARE FULL OF O.M.G
CHILDHOOD STINKS 
I HOPE BEING A GROWN-UP IS BETTER THEN THIS
I THINK IF IT WEREN'T FOR SCHOOL
LIFE WOULD DEFFIENTLY RULE
BUT REALY O.M.G ITS SUCH A FIGHT 
YOU NEVER FEEL LIKE YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT
SO WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
I CLOSE MY EYES
WHISPER TO MYSELF 
GOD PLEASE LET THIS DAY FLY

Family

what would life be like if you werent here, no mor arguing over what i wear, dont have to 
hear about my hair, wont be annoyed when you think you know whats best. I could finally 
nest, but to answer that difficult question, i have to say it would be full of depression i 
wouldnt change a little thing, with out family life aint worth living.
