FOLLOW YOUR SUNFLOWER
Follow Your Sunflower
V1:
You have been a dewdrop lately
Threatened by the light
Hold on for the ride and, baby,
Don't walk away from a fight
Chorus:
I never said wait for your ship to come in
I never said wait by the clock for the hour
To be right, to be perfect, to rain down on you
You've got to follow your sunflower
V2:
You have been from the beginning
All that you require
So set that earth and sun to spinning
Arise, baby, and aspire
Chorus
Bridge:
The universe will conspire
And lend its wondrous power

I CAN HEAR YOU CALLING
I Can Hear You Calling © Heidi H.
V1:
Do you hear that whisper?
Can you feel that thought?
When you’re at your quietest
Do they circle you like moths?
When you stop and really listen
Are you comforted, somehow?
Chorus:
I can feel you calling
I can’t hear a thing
I just know that I was
Brought here now to sing
For voices all around us
Truth we cannot see
Breathing life into the stories of eternity
V2:
When you’re indecisive
Do you feel that nudge?
Or the voice of compromise
When you don’t plan to budge
When you pay it some attention
Does harmony find you?
Chorus
Bridge:
And if you ever start to doubt the far beyond
May I suggest you sing a quiet, listening song?
Chorus --- END ---

I LOVE LOVE
I Love Love (Huettner/Timmer/West)
Sidewalkin', lookin' up at polka-dot sky
I keep seein' you in the clouds rollin' by
I love thinkin' that maybe baby you are the one
With my heart beatin' to the rhythm of your drum
And wakin' up wondrin' what you're dreamin' of
When we're together we're the birds and the bees combined
Even when we're apart all the stars are aligned
Was gonna call you at lunch
You beat me to the punch
Got a text from you
Chorus
I'm in ultra high fidelity when you cross my mind
See a lucky penny and I leave it behind
Who needs luck--babe I got you
Chorus --- END ---

REMEMBER WHEN (F VOX W BGV)
Remember When © Briggs/Huettner
Verse 1:
Remember when you lost your shoe
Sneaking through Old Man Wilson’s muddy yard
Remember sinking that canoe
Before we knew what it meant to go too far
Chorus:
We had so much fun back then
It was years ago, but that don’t mean it has to end
So whaddya say we seize the day again
And make right now a remember when
V2:
Remember when we stole the keys
To your daddy’s El Camino after prom
Remember cursin’ fake IDs
On our knees after all those Jager Bombs
Ch
Bridge:
Today will be tomorrow’s yesterday
It’s never too late to make it matter
Chorus
Tags (2X):
We were skippin’ stones and rollerbladin’
Sellin’ cherry lemonade and
Do you remember when
We were dancin’ slow and drivin’ fast
What we do tonight could last until
Do you remember when --- END ---

THE LIST OF WHY I LOVE YOU
The List of Why I Love You (Huettner)
V1:
A picture of the sky
Never captures all the light
Like we remember
Is it a waste of time
To bother to describe
A fire’s ember?
Chorus:
If my heart stopped now
I’d want to write this down
You’re a sunset I can’t take my eyes off
The gold behind the mountains
If I were trapped inside
In a silver mine
I’d never get through the list of why I love you
V2:
Beauty’s on the move
And love loves to refuse
To bide a master
Is it a folly to
Describe the shade of blue
(that) makes a heart beat faster, faster
Chorus
Bridge:
And in the dark of night I reach for light from stars that form your face
And I will trace the curves till I get burned or die
Chorus (first ½ broken-down) --- END ---

Verse 1:
When everyone else is asleep
I quietly move to the tree
I’m careful to not make a peep
This moment belongs just to me
Chorus:
Watching the tree in the dark
The lights are like candles in the night
Deep in my soul there’s a spark that melts to a glow
I listen to sounds of my heart
There’s nobody else I could invite
Only the tree knows the song that I know
Verse 2:
So I stay here as long as I dare
I can’t have my reverie broken
The silence and light that we share
Would vanish if one word was spoken

And now is the time I should leave
I feel so much lighter and clear
I know there’s no reason to grieve
‘Cause we’ll see each other next year

WE WERE HERE
We Were Here
Heidi Huettner heidi@heidihuettner.com
Verse 1:
That fourth dimension means that these big trees
Where we carved our names will never be the same
And that river cuts its lazy curves
But in a hundred years she'll move the turns
We've seen the force of friendship cause light to bend
And love's gravity can make a mockery
Of those who say only the atoms move
Is a tombstone the only way to prove
Chorus:
We were here
We were here
Verse 2:
We left a mark, we changed the status quo
We pulled some weeds and let the good things grow
The world has never seen such togetherness
And when we're gone they'll miss us, and they will wish
Chorus
Verse 3:
And I would like somehow to take this here and now
And print it on a page whose letters never fade
So a million years from now our souls
Can say, "We may be dead, but we're not old--
Chorus
Bridge:
Holding on springtime
A bolt of lightning
Can unwind
The clock that's ticking
An egg timer
About to go off
Can we just find
A way to stop it?
Chorus

He had given up on God: he was embarrassed by his praying past
And irony had found him on that day
He was praying to anything that would keep his soul intact
And the answer was the same—it hadn’t changed
Chorus:
You are loved
How you are loved
When you’re (“I’m”—2nd) climbing, when you’re crawling, when you’re fallin’
You are loved, how you are loved,
Unconditional, complete
You are loved
Verse 2:
She had given up on him: she was dismantled by his solitude
And sadness came and found them both that day
They were praying to anything that could keep their boy intact
And he told her how he felt—it hadn’t changed

And miracles happen
In our midst
A person is made whole
A little skinned knee gets kissed
Weave it together: thick brocade of living threads
And there is gold reflected
He had given up on God, but

NO WAY
No Way © Huettner/T. Jamieson

Do you think I’m dumb or blinded?
Do I look like I’d be led to believe
That I’d love it just as soon as I tried it
Well I’m not experimenting on me

Not gonna let them tell me—no way, no way
Not gonna let them sell me—their ways, no way

Verse 1:
So—you’re feeling sad
You’re feeling different and you’re mad
That everyone else
Is comatose and keeping up with fads
Who cares if they’re too dumb to see?
You’re never invisible to me
Chorus:
So what if you’re not the prom queen?
So what if you like to daydream?
So what if they think you’re not that cool?
(2nd: So what if he thinks you’re not his type?)
So what? So what? So what?
So what if you’re not class president?
So what if you’re just a bit different?
We girls gotta stick together
We’re friends forever
Sometimes we just gotta say
So what!
Verse 2:
So—is it a boy
Who’s gone and taken all your joy?
And does he deserve
A girl who represents all he avoids?
Who cares if he’s too dumb to know
He’s missin’ out on wonderful

So? So what! (So what)
So? So what! Lemme hear you say

You know just what you need, go on and run to it
No need to doubt, no third opinion to be sure
Lift:

YOU JUST FLY
You Just Fly (for Tara and Lula)
You'll hop a plane to anywhere
Work out the details once you're there
Your optimism keeps you from crashing
In those cute rose-colored glasses
You just give it a try
You just fly
You spirit's free to soar in the sky
You just fly
You'll go anywhere, give adventure a try
You just fly
No challenge too great
No doubt of your fate
You never stop to ask why
You just fly
You just fly
You're gearing up
Your bags are packed
Not sure when you're coming back
We couldn't stop you even if we knew
How to turn those glasses blue
Your heart won't be denied

Enjoy the ride
You're a butterfly
You never stop to ask why

I'M FREE
Free © Heidi Huettner

Swingin’ along from vine to vine, a rainforest full of dreams
Floatin’ around up off the ground, weaving all the different scenes
And you’re invincible: you can do any old thing
You are beautiful, and you are free
Chorus:
Free as a kite without a string
Oh me oh my, oh my oh me, I’m free (4X)

Dancin’ along from note to note, I am falling, I am caught
Reveling in my reverie in the place between the thoughts
And I’m invincible: I can do any old thing
I am beautiful, and I am free

I run into you from time to time, you have not been yourself
Fittin’ into some other box is a hazard to your health
You can be invincible: you can do any old thing
You are beautiful, you can be free
Bridge:
Crazy eights and roller skates,
And spinning some swirly dinner plates
A mountaintop that contemplates the why’s
Golden Gates and love to hates,
And curly red-headed recessive traits
The fairy dust that orchestrates the sky

SCARLETT
Scarlett © Huettner/Timmer/West
V1:
She’s not even lookin’ at him
Gazin’ right at her with that Rhett Butler cleft in his chin
She’s got her sights on somebody else
If she don’t want him, I’ll take him—better watch herself
Chorus:
If I were Scarlett, I’d dance real close and whisper in his ear
If I were Scarlett, I’d leave love notes in the steam on the bathroom mirror
I’d make my love clear, ‘cause I know how to treat a man
If I were Scarlett
Rhett would give a damn
V2:
He looks like the kind of guy you want to take home
Be great with Mama, but I bet he’s even better alone
I’d cook steak in just an apron
Serve it with a side of potatoes and a big ole grin
Chorus
Bridge:
And since she’s not lookin’
I think I’ll go sit beside him
And in the end, he and I will be gone with the wind
Chorus 2:
If I were Scarlett, I’d lean in close and whisper in his ear
If I were Scarlett, I’d say, “Come on, Baby, let’s get out of here”
I’d make my intentions clear, ‘cause I know how to treat a man
If I were Scarlett, Rhett would give a damn

I AM SMILING
I Am Smiling © Heidi Huettner
That secret look, I’ve learned to spot it for a mile
That’s all it took for you to hook me with your style
And it’s a magical pedestrian affair
Too bad we don’t always have so much time to spare
Well I am smiling, we’ve got a fire on the deck
There’s some sangria left, from when the neighbors came
Yes I am smiling, and all I want is what I see
You are so dear to me, and you are why I smile
We’ve got a stadium of stars to watch us play
And how they’d hate to see us throw such time away
And it’s a magical pedestrian affair
Too bad we don’t always have so much time to spare

I’d like to eat that cupcake frosting off your face
And make a scrapbook in my mind to keep the taste

GONNA BE GONE
Gonna Be Gone (Huettner/West)
She's got her eyes on the driveway
That pretty car that he's got on blocks
That's where he spends all his time off
Instead of with her
He's got his sights on the highway
Can't wait to driver her around in the sun
He doesn't get that she's gonna be gone
She doesn't like bein' lonely
She wants her man when he gets home
He keeps sayin' if only
Things would be perfect
She can't wait that long
He doesn't get that she's gonna be gone
He's gonna make partner someday
Buy a big place she can make his home
Just more space for her to wait alone
While he's at work
She wants to start a family
He says, "maybe baby, later on"
He doesn't get that she's gonna be gone
Chorus 2X
By the time he gets it
She'll be long, long gone --- END ---

BLUE (RAW)
When I'm Blue (c) Heidi H. 303 618 6900
V1:
I'm not always happy
There's plenty of sad
And some self-destruction
When I get too mad
I can't promise to change my
Condition or truth
Welcome to my sadness
I'm a woman of blue
Chorus:
When I'm blue you can't talk to me
There is sadness in my soul
When I'm blue I can't be found
When I'm blue and I'm drowning
In the darkness of ink all around
When I'm blue won't you love me as I am?
V2:
When I need salvation
When darkness recedes
I want your hands on me
'Cause your lovin' feeds
The part that's not broken
The soul of my soul
Welcome to the true me
What those blues never stole

Hey, hey Rudolph
How does it shine so bright,
Your very bulbous nose?
Do you have to refuel it,
Recharge it every night
Scrape it off each time it snows?
Chorus 1:
If my technicolor questions start to make you
Make you lose your mind
Don't worry--my mom always finds hers again
She says I'm quizzically inclined

Hey, hey Rudolph
How exactly do you fly?
I've been looking for some wings
Or a rocket engine--
No, I'm not a spy
I just like understanding things
Chorus 1
V3:
Hey, hey Rudolph
Some things just can't be solved
With a scientific eye
That's the place where
Faith and hope get involved
I'll just accept you're a standup guy
Chorus 2:
And that the magic is part of something bigger than
Than all of us
I'll try to keep that in mind when I have something
Technical to discuss

How Much Are We Worth? © Huettner/Lombardo
Verse 1:
You packed your bags and you left
Went to your sister’s
I found the note where we slept
Saying you’d miss me
I see you left your winter coat
It’s cold up in Denver
I know it’s not the blanket that you need
Just say the word and I’ll send it
Let’s not bang our heads against the walls
If we don’t stand together we’re bound to fall
Chorus:
Shane/Jane/Hey
How much are we worth?
You took my name
This ain’t how love works
You know I feel too strong about this
We got lucky, baby, we just fit
We need the answer and the question is
How much are we worth?
Verse 2:
I guess you had to spell it out
There’s no more pretending
That this home’s a happy house
But where’s the story ending?
We’ve been butting heads inside these walls
If we don’t stand together we’ll lose it all
Chorus
Bridge:
And I will follow you through rain and snow
And hope the sun breaks through
This wall of ice between me and you

Every Friday is a beautiful sight
With the sh'ma and sunset and two candle lights
But early december it gets even better
It's a lot more than a brand-new sweater
Chorus:
It's Hannukah, It's Hannukah
Gelt and menorahs, dreidels and Torah

Make everything pretty with stars and blue
Well, the lamps lasted eight whole nights
And the Temple was cleansed as a holy site
And it's Hannukah
We're celebrating 'cause it's Hannukah

We publicize those miracle lights
And G-d's saving grace in the Hellenic fight
We sing Ma O'Tzur and drink some wine
Say Al Hanisim and a big La Chaim!

Pop-pop-pop popcorn and cranberry garlands
They’re strung with needle and thread
The squeak of the needle pushing through
The fluffiest white and juicy red
We’ll have an army of girls in the living room
Bags of cranberries for everyone
And bowls and bowls of popcorn waiting
For the gossip-while-we’re-decorating fun
V1:
Well it’s low-tech and it’s retro
Inexpensive, but don’t you forget, though
It’s about as labor-intensive as you could get
So don’t throw away the plastic ones yet

And your fingers best be nimble
I implore you—use a thimble
It’s about as labor-intensive as you could get

Well the pixies and the gypsies won’t ever be a bother to me

When a mother of my mother’s mother back the centuries
Sang this song and survived it, and this is how I know

She said, “One night they came for our water
One night they came for our rain
One night they came for my daughter
I’ll never be the same, and I can’t stop the pain”

And I can’t say if her momma went crazy with despair
But she lived to pass it down and if you listen close today
You can hear the echo of her sorrow in the air

And I don’t know what she became
And I don’t dare to speak her name

Verse 1:
Please don't try to explain

You cheated but you don't know why
Don't catch your butt in the door
I need something more
I'm callin' all of my girlfriends

For a girls' night out
Chickadees on parade and dancing

To keep me from my girls and girls' night out

Karaoke, name that tune
And later by the river
Tippin' cowboys in the moonlight

Oh, another broken-hearting
And now here come the waves that tragedy commands
And I give up

We rode that tilt-a-whirl
My heart was jumping upside-down cake
Waiting for that kiss
You said I was your girl
And then you made our tinseltown break
And now it's come to this

I don't want to let go, never wanted to know
All the ways this flower could be burned
No I don't want to let go, never wanted to know

And I thought I had found the password
To a secret door
And just when I unfurled
My heart, you took yours, running faster
Than something more

MISTER JONES
Mister Jones
Verse 1:
Mister Jones
How are you tonight?
It was candlelight
Last time we met
You’re all bones
And your face is tight
It looks like you may not be over her yet
Chorus 1:
It took two dozen years to get tired of her [could change to “half dozen” for age]
And a dozen to fight that last fight
Now you’re here to unburden your soul if you dare
With some whiskey and a big appetite
Verse 2:
Mister Jones
Well you must have known
Leaving her alone
Could lead to no good
Telephones
And some new cologne
Can tell more than any confessional could
Chorus 2:
And the candles burned down to the tablecloth
And the dinner was cold as her heart
And the lawyers divided that house as it fell
They were certainly better apart
Verse 3:
Mister Jones
How are you tonight?
It was candlelight
Last time we met
You’re all bones
And your face is tight
It looks like you may not be over me yet
Chorus 3:
It took three dozen years to unravel me
And now it’s to late to pretend
That you just can’t love me and I can’t forgive
So we’re back to the start of our lives at the end

NEVER SAY NEVER (HH VOX)
Never Say Never © Huettner/D. Jamieson Sr.
Have you seen it rain when the sun was shining?
Have you ever laughed when you were really crying?
Have you ever found a rainbow but not the pot of gold
Then you see him smile—it’s been a while—he’s a treasure you can hold
Never say never, no matter what you do
It can snow in September, and wishes do come true
No, never say never no matter whatcha been through
You can hit rock bottom, bounce right back and touch the moon, catch the moon
No never say never, no never say never
Have you felt alone when you were in a crowd?
And no one hears you when you’re screamin’ out loud?
Have you pedaled hard, but gotten nowhere
Suddenly it’s all downhill, you feel that thrill, and the wind rush through your hair
Repeat Chorus
Have you lost at love and turned to your best friend
Only to find that you’re in love, in love, sweet love again
Repeat Chorus --- END ---

Little house on a secret lake
Sigh into a chair and take
A nice, long breath, and let the day unfold
Fish start biting after six
The dog is pulling all her tricks
To get down to the shore without a scold
Chorus:
A perfect place with no watches
Perfect place, without time
Perfect margarita
Perfect salt and lime
Rainbow sherbet sunset
Prehistoric pace
Just a little person in a perfect place
V2:
Little boat on the glassy smooth
Wake and oars make a rippled groove
To cut the time across, but there’s no rush
Stop for a second, now, gliding through
The sky has turned a nonsense hue
The moment freezes—all the world’s a hush
Chorus
V3:
Little heart pounds, the time is near
View is perfect, the sky is clear
Eyes look out to see the perfect face
Stars are twinkling, glasses clink
One asks the other what the other thinks
About being the little person in this perfect place
You could be my little person in this perfect place
We could be each other’s person in this perfect place

SHINING ON ME
Shining On Me
Verse 1:
When my heart was stranded and when all my hope was gone
You came along
And when what this life handed me had left me so withdrawn
You came along, you came along
Chorus:
Shining on me—with the light of sweet forgiveness for my soul
Shining on me—giving me back everything the darkness stole
Shining on me—showing me the infinite, making me whole
Shining on me (3X)
Verse 2:
When I had demanded recognition and renown
You came along
You gently reprimanded me and safely set me down
You came along, you came along
Chorus
Bridge:
When the past had branded me with failure and defeat
I looked at myself candidly and I found I was complete
And when an evil man did things to tear my world apart
I gave up understanding and I learned to heal this heart
Chorus
V1 (first 2 lines)

I LOVE YOU ALL
I Love You All
Verse 1:
I look around my world?can?t see through all the pain
I listen carefully for thunder, hyear the rain
And I, I wonder why (I wonder why, I wonder why)
Chorus:
I wonder why she called me
I wonder why I answered
I wonder who she thinks she is
I wonder who I am
Verse 2:
She took a piece of me and I scarred over the hole
She seems to think that she can jam it back in my soul
And I, I wonder why (I wonder why, I wonder why)
Chorus
Verse 3:
We had the chemirstry but couldn?t do the math
Three is a crowd and that old genie can?t be put back
And I, I wonder why (I wonder why, I wonder why)

SAD SONG
Verse 1:
I feel a sad song coming on (there?s a hole in my soul)
Close my eyes, Lord, and start to yawn (start to plan for the toll)
I know I won?t sleep from now ?til dawn
?Cause I feel that sad song comin? on
Chorus:
Honeydew, sweet sad?ll cover you
Honeysuckle, clover and truth
It?s a sweet tea and a bitter brew
When they put another sad song on
Verse 2:
I feel a sad song coming on (I?m holding my breath)
Is she here, Lord, or is she gone? (I?m afraid of death)
I see her eyes strong?her face is drawn
And I feel that sad song coming on
Chorus
Bridge:
This, this song, is my flower
Angels surely recognize the smell
And there is nothing in my power that can keep
The song asleep
Verse 1
Chorus 3X --- END ---

INSTRUMENTAL CHERRY LIMEADE SLUSH
Cherry Limeade Slush (c) Roka Records
Verse 1:
Small town, little girls
We thought we could rule the world
With a suntan and a sunroof open wide
After school, after practice
A Cavalier filled up with laughter
Teenagers off for a ride
Chorus:
And a cherry-limeade slush at Sonic
Living life and free of all the things
We'd learn soon enough
Like a house and kids and carpool rushes
A cherry-limeade slush at Sonic
A photo captioned in the chronicles
Of growing up, we had it good
When life was sweet as a cherry-limeade slush
Verse 2:
Same town--how it's grown
With all the families of our own
And the minivans full to bursting with our kids
After school, after practice
I sometimes get caught up in laughter
And I treat them to what I've been missing
(and that's a)
Chorus
Bridge:
And I have to laugh when my high school friend Jen
Pulls up beside me and asks, "How long has it been?"
(since you had a)
Chorus 2X
Tags:
Slush, slush, what's the rush
Take a breath and a great big sip of
Slush, slush, frozen luscious
Almost good ain't good enough --- END ---

LITTLE LOST SOUL
Little Lost Soul (c)(p) 2004-5 Heidi Huettner
Verse 1:
Little lost soul, I know you by the look in your eyes
You’re intrigued by what mine say to you, but afraid to reply
Every time you show yourself you fear a compromise
Can’t take the chance again: you remember what happened way back when
My wish for you is that you let yourself feel
My prayer for you is that you heal
Chorus:
What I will do is tell the truth; And pour my heartlight upon you
I’ll share your joys, I’ll share your joys; And sadness too
I have no doubt you’re gold throughout; Want you to see your own light
And be a little found soul, a little found soul; And be a little found soul
Verse 2:
Little lost soul, I want to make it easier for you
Life isn’t always such a disaster; it’s OK to have hope
No one here can guarantee you’ll have a perfect time through
But that’s what we’re all here for: lightening our loads so we can soar
Chorus
Bridge:
Little lost soul, I know you now I did then
I love you so much I’ll find you again and again and again
Chorus --- END ---

I'M SPREAD TOO THIN
I’m Spread Too Thin © 2007 Roka Records
Verse 1:
1 6 4
I’ll let you know me through my stories and my details
5 1
But I don’t want the world to know me
6 4
Want to keep me to myself
Verse 2:
1 6 4
I used to know me in the silence of my heartbeat
5 1
But lately I sense the real me
6 4
Has been buried by degrees
Chorus:
1
‘Cause I’m spread too thin
6 4
When I’m everywhere to everyone
2 4
And everyone else sees me
5 6 5
And everywhere I look are eyes
1 4
I’m spread so thin, I feel them looking through me
5 6 5 1
Looking for the answers I’ve been looking for myself
4/9
And for my mental health
4#m(?)
I’d like some time alone
1
And then maybe some with you
Verse 3:
1 6 4
I’m gonna find me—it’s the timing I can’t promise
5 1
And if I’m being honest
6 4
I could stay here for a while
Chorus
Bridge:
2 4 5
The oxygen masks have dropped down
2 4 5
And I’m keeping mine on 'til my feet hit ground
Chorus

And then maybe some with you

HE DONE ME RIGHT
Sure you can buy me a beer for old times sake
I don’t need apologies for your lies and your mistakes
Honey if you’re wondering why I feel so good tonight
You done me wrong, but babe don’t worry, he done me right
He done me right, he helped my heart to heal
He done me right, showed me how good I can feel
Boy you ain’t the reason why I don’t sleep at night
It’s true you done me wrong, but he done me right
Well let me introduce you two, he’s headed right this way
He ain’t heard about you, no need to be afraid
You’re just some ancient history I’ve cleaned out of my life
It’s true you done me wrong, but he done me right
He done me right, his love for me is real
He done me right, showed me how good I can feel
Boy you ain’t the reason why I don’t sleep at night
It’s true you done me wrong, but he done me right
Boy this man’s the reason why
It’s true you done me wrong, but he done me right
He done me right, he helped my heart to heal
He done me right, showed me how good I can feel
Boy you ain’t the reason why I don’t sleep at night
It’s true you done me wrong, but he done me right --- END ---

STUCK IN THE MIDDLE
Stuck in the Middle © Huettner/T. Jamieson
V1:
Alone at the baseball diamond: both my best friends walked away
Wish they could make it for a week or just a day
Without fighting, they don’t understand what their tempers do
I’m stuck with the ball--no one to throw it to
Chorus:
I’m stuck in the middle
Who do I talk to, who do I listen to?
I’m stuck in the middle
What am I gonna do
If you can’t figure it out?
That’s what friends are about
And I am hatin’ bein’ stuck here in the middle
V2:
You guys argue about the argument, and escalate the fight
You say things that you can’t take back, and no one’s ever right
You want me to be your messenger and bring apologies
From someone who’s not sorry, but I can’t keep the peace
Chorus
Bridge:
I can’t be your lever
Can’t keep it all together
You’re gonna have to do this on your own
So I’m not
Chorus 2:
Stuck in the middle
A magnet for your negativity
Stuck in the middle
What are you gonna do if I’m done helpin’ you?
Real friends wouldn’t put me through
This constant drama bein’ stuck here in the middle
Chorus
Tags:
I am hatin’ being stuck here in the middle
Yes I am hatin’ being stuck here in the middle --- END ---
