Nothin' But Trouble
When I woke up this morning,
I was so full of misery.
Yes, when I woke up this morning,
I was so full of misery.
I knew I had to face up to
Just what you're doing to me.
(chorus)
You're bad news, Baby.
You're the cause of my misery.
You're bad news, Baby.
You're the cause of my misery.
You're nothing but trouble.
That's all you could ever be to me.
I did my best for you, Darling.
But what good did it do?
I did my best for you, Darling,
But what good did it do?
Now, I find you're the kind of man
Who will always be untrue.
You can't love somebody,
If you don't know what love means.
You can't love anybody,
If you don't know what love means.
I know I've got to let go
And quit this crazy scene.
repeat chorus
Faith Elizabeth Brigham

Nothing
according to my recollection
i remember nothing
about you
mostly because you
were born before me
soon diappearing
as though the earth
swallowed you whole
i had six sisters
growing up
without a brother
never knowing you
were adopted off
being lied to
about your existence
i don't know much
about you at all
never saw your picture
never knew your name
for all i know
you could be
living next door
or be any one
i might pass by
in the street

Now That The Loving's Over
you say
you want to
be my friend
now that the
loving's over
but please-
don't bother
as you never
treated your
friends any
better than
you ever
treated me

Oh, My Soul
oh, my soul-
some say it is
an old one
others say it is
quite deep
but no one knows
my heart-felt joy
nor the tears
i sometimes weep
oh, my soul
has work to do
in its search
for beauty and truth
i see God in everyhing
as i have done
since i was
in my youth
oh, my soul
if i should pass
i'll know my
work here is done
but while i am
still on this earth
i'll speak my piece
out of a need
to be heard through
the written word
