Goodbye	track 9	Songs in A minor

Mmmhmm, bye, bye How do you love someone That hurts you oh so bad With intentions good Was all he ever had But how do I let go when I've Loved him for so long and I've Given him all that I could Maybe love is a hopeless crime Giving up what seems your lifetime What went wrong with something once so good How do you find the words to say To say goodbye If your heart don't have the heart to say To say goodbye I know now I was naïve Never knew where this would lead And I'm not trying to take away From the good man that he is But how do I let go when I've Loved him for so long and I've Given him all that I could Was it something wrong that we did Because others infiltrated What went wrong with something once so good How do you find the words to say To say goodbye If your heart don't have the heart to say To say goodbye Is this the end are you sure How should you know when you've never been here before It's so hard to just let go When this is the one and only love I've ever known So how do you find the words to say To say goodbye If your heart don't have the heart to say To say goodbye



The Life	track 10	Songs in A minor

Everyday I realize that this might be the last day of my life Walking down the street I find that I'm coming closer and closer to losing my mind 'Cause when it rains, it pours Isn't life worth more? I don't even know what I'm hustlin' for You've gotta do what you gotta do just to make it through All the hard times that's going to face you This is the life, trying to survive This is the life, trying to survive Living will always be a struggle looking for someone to love you Looking back at single horrors, this madness makes me want to hide Slowly, internally, I'm dying Pillow case is wet from all my crying There is nothing more for me to live for Take me away, I can't live that life no more This is the life, trying to survive This is the life, trying to survive I'm just trying to get over



Mr. Man	track 11	Songs in A minor

Somethin' about the way you smiled at me just drove me wild Wish I could know if you're alone, don't wanna cramp your style But I cannot deny the feeling that I feel when I look straight through your eyes Feel my heart beating fast for her challenge, may you try I wanna know if you feel the way I do (I do) I wanna know if there's a chance for me and you (and you) If there's no way, meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't) 'Cause I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man, unfair Like the way you've given me attention through the night Maybe I've had too much for me, my man's right by my side Every time I catch you watchin' me I feel somethin' down my spine I play the game, it's just for fun and only for tonight I wanna know what makes you feel the way you do (you do) I think you hopin' there's a chance for me and you (and you) Should I meet you at the bar and say we can't? (we can't) If there's no way, meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't) Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man, unfair I know all you wanna know is answers 'Cause you could gimme what I need We both know that we're attracted Should we let our desires lead? I wanna know if you feel the way I do (I do) I wanna know if there's a chance for me and you (and you) If there's no way, meet at the bar and you say can't (you can't) 'Cause I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be Unfair to Mr. Man, unfair to Mr.Man Unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr.Man, unfair to Mr. Man I wanna know what makes you feel the way you do (you do) I think you hopin' there's a chance for me and you (and you) Should I meet you at the bar and say we can't?

Why Do I Feel So Sad	track 14	Songs in A minor

Friends we've been for so long Now true colors are showing Makes me wanna cry, oh yes it does 'Cause I had to say goodbye By now I should know That in time things would change So it shouldn't be so bad So why do I feel so sad How can I adjust To the way that things are going It's killing me slowly Oh, I just want it to be how it used to be 'Cause I wish that I could stay But in time things must change So it shouldn't be so bad So why do I feel so sad You cannot hide the way you feel inside, I realize Your actions speak much louder than words So tell me why, oh By now I should know that That in time things would change So it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be so bad So why do I feel so sad By now I should know That in time things must change So it shouldn't be so bad So why do I feel so sad By now, by now I should know That in time things must grow And I had to leave you behind So why do I feel so sad If it couldn't be that bad Tell me why By now I should know That in time things would change So it shouldn't be so bad So why do I feel so sad



Caged Bird	track 15	Songs in A minor

Right now I feel like a bird Caged without a key Everyone comes to stare at me With so much joy and rivalry They don't know how I feel inside Through my smile I cry They don't know what they're doin' to me Keeping me from flyin' That's why I say that I know why the caged bird sings Only joy comes from song She's so rare and beautiful to them Why not just set her free So she can Fly, fly, fly Spreadin' her wings and her song Let her Fly, fly fly For the whole world to see She's like a caged bird Fly, fly Oh, just let her fly Just let her fly Just let her fly Spread the wings Spread the beauty
