Martina McBride - Everlasting Album Lyrics

---

Do Right Woman, Do Right Man

Take me to heart and I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted, leaving love unsure
Makes willpower weak and temptation strong

A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood just like her man

If you want a do right, all day's woman
You've gotta be a do right, all night's man

Yeah, they say that it's a man's world
But you can't prove that by me
And as long as we're together, baby
Show some respect for me

If you want a do right, all day's woman
You've gotta be a do right, all night's man

A woman's only human
This you should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood just like her man

If you want a do right, all day's woman
You've gotta be a do right, all night's man
You've gotta be a do right, all night's man

Suspicious Minds

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?

Here we go again
Asking where I've been
Can't you see these tears are real
I'm crying

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
I've never lied to you

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

If You Don't Know Me By Now

If you don't know me by now
You will never, never never know me

All the things that we've been through
You should understand me like I understand you
Now boy I know the difference, between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing to upset our happy home
Don't get so excited if I come home a little late at night
And we only act like children when we argue, fuss, and fight

If you don't know me by now
You will never, never, never know me

We've all got our own funny moods, I've got mine
And boy, you've got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
It should be so easy to do
Please get yourself together or we might as well say goodbye
Cause what good is a love affair when you can't see eye to eye

If you don't know me by now
You will never, never never know me
If you don't know me by now
You will never, never never know me

Little Bit Of Rain

If I should leave you
Try to remember the good times
One day is filled with sunshine
And just a little bit of rain

And if you look back
Try to forget all the bad times
Lonely blue and sad times
With just a little bit of rain

And if I look back
I'll remember the good times
One day is filled with sunshine
And just a little bit of rain

Bring It On Home To Me

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Oh oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

I know I laughed when you left
But now I know I only hurt myself
Oh-oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

I'll give you jewellery and money, too
That ain't all, that ain't all I'll do for you
Oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

You know I'll always be your slave
Til I'm buried, buried in my grave
Oh honey, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

I tried to treat you right
But you stayed out, stayed out every night
Oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
Oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
Yeah

Come See About Me

I have been crying cause I'm lonely (for you)
Smiles have all turned to tears
But tears won't wash away the fears
That you're never ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns

It keeps me crying baby for you
I keep on sighing, baby for you
I won't you hurry
Come on boy, see about me (come see about me)
See about you baby (come see about me)

I've given up my friends just for you
My friends are gone and you have too
No peace shall I find until you come back boy
And be mine, no matter what you do or say
I'm gonna love you anyway

It keep on crying baby for you
I keep on sighing, baby for you
So won't you hurry?
Come on boy, see about me (come see about me)
See about you baby (come see about me)

Sometime's I'm up, sometime's I'm down
My life's so uncertain with you not around
From my arms you maybe out of reach
But my heart says you're here to keep

It keeps me crying baby for you
I keep on crying baby for you
So won't you hurry
Come on boy, see about me (come see about me)
See about you baby (come see about me)
see about me (come see about me)
See about you baby (come see about me)
Hurry, hurry baby

What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted

As I walk this land of broken dreams,
I have visions of many things.
Happiness is just an illusion,
Filled with sadness and confusion.

What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.

The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumbling down.
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger,
I can't stand this pain much longer!

I walk in shadows, searching for light.
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight.

Hoping and praying for someone to care,
Always moving and going nowhere.
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?

I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Help me

I'm searching though I don't succeed
For someone's love, there's a growing need
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning,
All that's left is an unhappy ending.
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed?

I know I've got to find,
Some kind of peace of mind,
I'll be searching everywhere,
Just to find someone to care.
I'll be looking everyday,
I know I'm gonna find a way.
Nothing's gonna stop me now,
I'll find a way somehow.

I've Been Loving You Too Long

I've been loving you too long to stop now

You are tired and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger as you become a habit to me
Oh, I've been loving you too long
I don't wanna stop now

With you my life has been so wonderful I can't stop now,
You are tired and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger as our affair, affair grows old
I've been loving you, much too long to stop now

I've been loving you a much little too long
I don't wanna stop now, oh,
Please don't make me stop now, oh
I can't stop now
I'm in love in you too long

Wild Night

As you brush your shoes
And stand before the mirror
And you comb your hair
Grab your coat and hat
And you walk, wet streets
Trying to remember
All the wild night breezes
In your memory ever

And everything looks so complete
When you're walking out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
Sends you flying, crying

The wild night is calling

And all the girls walk by
Dressed up for each other
And the boys do the boogie-woogie
On the corner of the street

And the people, passing by
Stare in wild wonder
And the inside juke-box
Roars out just like thunder

And everything looks so complete
When you walk out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
And sends you flying, crying

The wild night is calling
The wild night is calling

The wild night is calling
The wild night is calling

Come on out and dance
Come on out and make romance
Come on out and dance
Come on out, make romance

The wild night is calling
The wild night is calling

In The Basement

Oh, now tell me where can you party, child, all night long?
In the basement, down in the basement.
Oh where can you go when your money gets low?
In the basement, down in the basement
And if a storm is taking place, you can jam and still be safe
In the basement, down in the basement

Where can you dance to any music you choose?
In the basement, down in the basement
Oh, you got the comforts of home, a nightclub too.
In the basement, down in the basement.
There's no cover charge or fee and the food and drinks are free,
In the basement, down in the basement

Where they don't check you age at the door
In the basement, down in the basement
Barracuda and jerk til your feet get sore
In the basement, down in the basement
Do any dance you want to do, there's no one under you
In the basement, down in the basement

My Babe

My baby don't stand no cheatin', my babe
My baby don't stand no cheatin', my babe
My baby don't stand no cheatin',
Don't stand none of that midnight creepin'
My babe, true little baby, my babe
My baby knows how to love me, my babe
My baby knows how to love me, my babe
My baby knows how to love me
Knows how to kiss me and oh how to hug me
My babe, true little baby, my babe

My baby don't stand no cheatin', my babe
My baby don't stand no cheatin', my babe
My baby don't stand no cheatin',
Ev'rything he does he does so pleasin'
My babe, true little baby, my babe
My baby don't stand no foolin', my babe
My baby don't stand no foolin', my babe
My baby don't stand no foolin',
When he gets hot there ain't no coolin'
My babe, true little baby, my babe
My babe, true little baby, my babe

To Know Him Is To Love Him

To know, know, know him is to love, love, love him
Just to see that smile, makes my life worthwhile
To know, know, know him is to love, love, love him
And I do

I'll be good to him, I'll bring joy to him
Everyone says there'll come a day when I'll walk alongside of him
To know, know, know him is to love, love, love him
And I do, I do, I do

Why can't he see, how blind can he be
Someday he'll see that he was meant for me

To know, know, know him is to love, love, love him
Just to see that smile, makes my life worthwhile
To know, know, know him is to love, love, love him
And I do, I do, I do

That's How Strong My Love Is

(Bonus Track)

If I was the Sun way up there
I'd go with love most everywhere
I'll be the moon when the sun goes down
Just to let you know that I'm still around.

That's how strong my love is,
that's how strong my love is, yeah.
That's how strong my love is,
that's how strong my love is.

I'll be the weeping willow drowning in my tears
And you can go swimming when you are here
I'll be the rainbow after the storm is gone
Wrap you in my colors and keep you warm.

That's how strong my love is,
That's how strong my love is, yeah.
That's how strong my love is,
That's how strong my love is.

I'll be the ocean so deep and wide
And catch all the tears whenever you cry
I'll be the breeze after the storm is gone
To dry your eyes and keep you warm.

That's how strong my love is,
that's how strong my love is,
that's how strong my love is,
that's how strong my love is.

Oh, my love, oh, my love is so strong
That's how strong my love is
that's how strong my love is.

By Your Side

(iTunes Bonus Track)

You think I'd leave your side baby
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you want
Ha ah ah ah
And if only you could see into me

Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there
To hold you tight to me

When you're on the outside baby and you can't get in
I will show you you're so much better than you know
When you're lost and you're alone and you can't get back again
I will find you darling and I will bring you home

And if you want to cry
I'll be there to dry your eyes
And in no time
You'll be fine

And if you want to cry
I'll be there to dry your eyes
And in no time
You'll be fine

You think I'd leave your side baby
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees
I wouldn't do that

Perfect

(iTunes Bonus Track)

Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good'
It didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing
Underestimated, look I'm still around

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
You're nothing, you're perfect to me

You're so mean (so mean) when you talk (when you talk)
About yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices (change the voices) in your head (in your head)
Make them like you instead

So complicated
Look how we all make it
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I could think of
Chased down all my demons
I've seen you do the same
(Oh oh)

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
You're nothing, you're perfect to me

(Yeah!)
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
You're nothing, you're perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're perfect to me
(Pretty, pretty please, pretty, pretty please)
You're perfect, perfect
(Pretty, pretty please, pretty, pretty please)
You're perfect, you're perfect
(Pretty, pretty please, pretty, pretty please)
You're perfect
(Pretty, pretty please, pretty, pretty please)
You're perfect, perfect
(Pretty, pretty please, pretty, pretty please)
(You're perfect, perfect)
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're f*cking perfect to me.
