ALICE IN CHAINS: NUTSHELL . . .


We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home

Oooh...Oooh...
Oooh...Oooh...

My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead

Oooh...Oooh...
Oooh...Oooh...

JANIS JOPLIN: GET IT WHILE YOU CAN . . .


In this world, if you read the papers, darling, 
You know everybody's fighting with each other. 
You got no one you can count on, dear, 
Not even your own brother. 
So if someone comes along, 
He gonna give you love and affection, 

I'd say get it while you can, yeah, 
Honey, get it while you can, yeah, 
Honey, grab it while you can, 
Don't you turn your back on love, no, no, no. 

When you're loving somebody, baby, 
You're taking a gamble against some sorrow. 
But who knows, baby, 
'Cause we may not be here tomorrow. 
And if anybody comes along, 
He gonna give you love and affection, 

I'd say get it while you can, yeah! 
Honey, grab it when you're gonna need it! 
Yeah hey, hold it while you can, 
Don't you turn your sweet back on love, 
No no no, no no no no no! 

Ah! Once I had me a man, 
But I didn't know enough at the time 
To count my blessings, no no, 
But I wish he could see me crying today, 
'Cause his love don't feel to listen. 

And if anybody comes along, 
He gonna give me love and affection, 
Yeah, hey!, Hey! Yeah! Hey! 

Get it while you can, yeah! 
Honey, get it while you can, yeah! 
Honey, get it while you can, 
Don't you turn your back on love, 
No no no, no no no no. 

Get it while you can, yeah! 
Honey, grab it while you can, yeah! 
I said, hold on to that man, love, 
Hold on to that man whole, 
Yeah, get it, want it, need it, 
Get it, get it, hold it, need it, want it, 
Get it, need it, want it, hold it, 
Get it, squeeze it, love it, touch it, 
Use it, need it, want it, get it, 

Need it, want it, hold it, 

Yeah hey, get it while you can, baby, 
Yeah hey, get it while you can, 
Honey, don't you go and turn your sweet back on love,

TAMMY WYNETTE: STAND BY YOUR MAN . . .


Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doin things that you don't understand
But if you love him 
You'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him
Oh, be proud of him 
Cause after all he's just a man

Stand by your man 
Give him two arms to cling to 
And something warm to come to 
when nights are cold and lonely

Stand by your man
And show the world you love him 
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
