KELLY CLARKSON – THANKFUL – 2002

THE TROUBLE WITH LOVE IS

(Kelly Clarkson / Evan Rogers / Carl Sturken)
Love can be a many splendored thing
Can’t deny the joy it brings
A dozen roses, diamond rings
Dreams for sale and fairy tales
It’ll make you hear a symphony
And you just want the world to see
But like a drug that makes you blind
It’ll fool ya every time

The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie
It’s stronger than your pride
The trouble with love is
It doesn’t care how fast you fall
And you can't refuse the call
See you’ve got no say at all

Now I was once a fool it’s true
I played the game by all the rules
But now my world's a deeper blue
I’m sadder but I'm wiser too
I swore I’d never love again
I swore my heart would never mend
Said love wasn’t worth the pain
But then I hear it call my name

The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie
It's stronger than your pride
The trouble with love is
It doesn’t care how fast you fall
And you can’t refuse the call
See you’ve got no say at all

Every time I turn around
I think I’ve got it all figured out
My heart keep callin’
And I keep on fallin’
Over and over again
The sad story always ends the same
Me standin' in the pourin’ rain
It seems no matter what I do
It tears my heart in two

The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie
It's stronger than your pride
The trouble with love is
(It’s in your heart
It’s in your soul
You won’t get no control)
It doesn’t care how fast you fall
And you can't refuse the call
See you’ve got no say at all

MISS INDEPENDENT
(Christina Aguilera / Kelly Clarkson / Rhett Lawrence)
Miss Independent
Miss self-sufficient
Miss keep your distance
Miss unafraid
Miss out of my way
Miss don’t let a man interfere, no
Miss on her own
Miss almost grown
Miss never let a man help her off her throne
So, by keeping her heart protected
She’d never ever feel rejected
Little miss apprehensive
Said ooh, she fell in love

What is the feelin’ takin’ over?
Thinkin’ no one could open my door
Surprise... It’s time
To feel what's real
What happened to Miss Independent?
No more the need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you
When love is true

Misguided heart
Miss play it smart
Miss if you want to use that line you better not start, no
But she miscalculated
She didn’t want to end up jaded
And this miss decided not to miss out on true love
So, by changing her misconceptions
She went in a new direction
And found inside she felt a connection
She fell in love.

What is the feelin’ takin’ over?
Thinkin’ no one could open my door
Surprise... It's time
To feel what’s real
What happened to Miss Independent?
No more the need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you
When love, when love is true

When Miss Independence walked away
No time for love that came her way
She looked in the mirror and thought today
What happened to miss no longer afraid?
It took some time for her to see
How beautiful love could truly be
No more talk of why can’t that be me
I'm so glad I finally feel...

What is the feelin’ takin’ over?
Thinkin’ no one could open my door
Surprise, it’s time
To feel what’s real
What happened to Miss Independent?
No more the need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you
When love, when love is true...

LOW
(Jimmy Harry)
Everybody’s talking
But they don’t say a thing
They look at me with sad eyes
But I don’t want the sympathy
Its cool you didn’t want me
Sometimes you can’t go back
But why’d you have to go and make a mess like that
Well I just have to say
Before I let go

Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so?
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know?
Were you left out in the cold?
What you did was low

No I don’t need your number
There’s nothing left to say
Except I never thought it'd hurt this much to be saved
My friends are outside waiting
I’ve gotta go

Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so?
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know?
Were you left out in the cold?
What you did was low
What you did was low
What you did was low
What you did was low

I walk out of this darkness
With no sense of regret
And I go with a clear conscience
We both know that you can't say that
Here's to show
For all the time I loved you so...
So...

Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so?
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know?
Were you left out in the cold?
What you did was low
Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so?
When the truth came out
Were you the last to know?
Were you left out in the cold?
What you did was low
Have you ever been low?
Have you ever had a friend that let you down so?
Cause what you did was low

SOME KIND OF MIRACLE
(Diane Warren)
Prayed for an angel
To come in the night
And shine some sweet light on me
Found only strangers
Then you came to me
Just when I’d given up, you gave me love
My world was tumbling down
You turned it around, baby

You, you’re some kind of miracle
Baby you are, you’re a miracle to me

Sweet revelation
That look in your eyes
Your touch in the night
I find the sweetest salvation
In your arms, baby
Warm as the morning sun, your tender love
Came and just lifted me up
Look what you've done, baby

You, you’re some kind of miracle
You, you, you are...
You’re a miracle to me

You brought joy to my heart
I found love in your arms
See what you’ve done to me
You set my soul so free
You came and you gave me the love that I need

You , you’re some kind of miracle
Baby and you are, you’re a miracle.
A miracle to me.
Baby you are, a miracle to me

WHAT’S UP LONELY?
(Evan Rogers / Stephanie Saraco / Carl Sturken)
Blue, I’m getting kinda close to you
Like a shadow I can’t lose
Hey, you’ve been hangin’ with me every day
Now you’re getting’ in my way
I know you understand me
But don’t ya think that maybe it’s time to move on

What’s up lonely?
Seems you’re my only
Friend who wants to share my pain
Tell me heartache
What's it gonna take
For you to leave me alone today
Just when I think that you're gone
You’re in the mirror lookin' back at me
So what’s up lonely?

Sometimes, I wish you weren’t by my side
Can’t you find another shoulder? Cause I
I wanna leave this broken heart behind
We been wastin’ too much time
Find someone else to rain on
I’m really getting tired of singin’ this sad song

Don’t wanna give you a reason
To hang around anymore
You won’t be hurting my feelings
If you find another broken heart you can lean on

What’s up lonely?
Seems you’re my only
Friend who wants to share my pain
Tell me heartache
What’s it gonna take
For you to leave me alone today
Just when I think that you’re gone
You’re in the mirror lookin’ back at me
So what’s up lonely?

What’s up lonely?
Seems you’re my only
Friend who wants to share my pain
Tell me heartache
What’s it gonna take...

JUST MISSED THE RAIN
(Danielle Brisebois/Scott Cutler)
Roll over baby, the time has come
To make a little bit more room
I’ve hung around you, it’s getting tough
I think I’m gonna break down soon

I remember, crying in the park, it was getting dark
Suddenly I looked up
You were my sky
So go on and
Sleep darling
Why don’t you pretend we were just a dream?
It’s cool baby
It doesn’t matter anyway
I’m so sorry
We got to the station a little too late
It’s such a shame
We just missed the train

Be quiet angel, don’t make a sound
Save it for a rainy day
Oh, can’t you see me? I’m such a mess
Trying hard to find my way

Do you remember, wasting all that time, we were feeling fine
Though we couldn’t walk a line
We were alright

So go on and
Sleep darling
Why don’t you pretend we were just a dream?
It’s cool baby
It doesn’t matter anyway
I’m so sorry
We got to the station a little too late
It’s such a shame
We just missed the train

Oh, why’d that train just pass us by?
Didn’t anyone see?
We were stuck at the light
Or we would’ve made it on time

So sleep darling
Why don’t you pretend we were just a dream?
It’s cool baby
It doesn’t matter anyway
I’m so sorry
We got to the station a little too late
It’s such a shame
We just missed the train

BEAUTIFUL DISASTER
(Matthew Wilder / Rebekah Jordan)
He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He’s as damned as he seems
More Heaven than a heart could hold

And if I tried to save him
My whole world could cave in
Just ain’t right
Just ain’t right

Oh and I don’t know
I don’t know what he's after
But he’s so beautiful
He’s such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful
Or just a beautiful disaster

He’s magic and myth
As strong as what I believe
A tragedy with
More damage than a soul should see
But do I try to change him
So hard not to blame him
Hold on me tight
Hold on me tight

Oh cause I don’t know
I don’t know what he's after
But he’s so beautiful
He's such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful
Or just a beautiful disaster

I’m longing for love and the logical
But he’s only happy hysterical
I’m waiting for some kind of miracle
Waiting so long
Waiting so long

He’s soft to the touch
But frayed at the ends he breaks
He’s never enough
And still he's more than I can take

Oh cause I don’t know
I don’t know what he’s after
But he’s so beautiful
He’s such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful
Or just a beautiful disaster

He’s beautiful
Just a beautiful disaster...

YOU THOUGHT WRONG
(Kelly Clarkson / Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds / Tamyra Gray / Harvey Mason, Jr. / Damon Thomas)
I see how you’re trying to weasel
Your way in
Boy I know how you maneuver
With your confusion

You tell me that I'm your only
And how bad that you want me
Well then why are you so shady
If I'm supposed to be your lady

Why should I believe anything you say
And how could you shame me that way?

Tell me where did you get the nerve
To even think that you could
Play me wrong

You thought we didn't know
You thought we were in the dark
But boy your covers blown
Cause we both know now

You thought you had us fooled
At your beck & call
But now who’s the joke
And look who’s laughing now

Now you’re trying to use us against one another
But it won’t work

I see right though your game boy
And I know exactly where to play boy
You tried to deny all your actions
For once in your life be a real man
At least give me the proper respect
Of the truth I already know you did it

Why should I believe anything you say
And how could you shame me that way?

Tell me where did you get the nerve
To even think that you could
Play me wrong

You thought we didn’t know
You thought we were in the dark
But boy your covers blown
Cause we both know now

You thought you had us fooled
At your beck & call
But now who’s the joke
And look who’s laughing now

I see right through you baby
Try not to be like you don’t want me
Why don’t you get it through your thick head
Cause I’ve seen this game before
And I’m not trying to see it no more
Shut your mouth
I’m not trying to hear your lies
No not again
Sorry you couldn’t be a better man

You thought we didn’t know
You thought we were in the dark
But boy your covers blown
Cause we both know now

You thought you had us fooled
At your beck & call
But now who’s the joke
And look who’s laughing now
Guess you thought wrong
Look who’s laughing now
You stupid

Everything you missed before

And I can’t help but want you more than I want to
So baby take all of your fears, and cast them all on me

That I could be the one to give you
All that you’ve been searching for
Just hold on to my love, and baby let me give you more
You know, anytime

A MOMENT LIKE THIS
(Elofsson / Reid)
What if I told you it was all meant to be?
Would you believe me? Would you agree?
It’s almost that feeling that we’ve met before
So tell me that you don’t think I’m crazy
When I tell you love has come here and now

A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Some people search forever for that one special kiss
Oh, I can’t believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this

Everything changes, but beauty remains
Something so tender, I can’t explain
Well I may be dreaming, but still lie awake
Can we make this dream last forever?
And I’ll cherish all the love we share

A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Some people search forever for that one special kiss
Oh, I can’t believe it’s happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this

Could this be the greatest love of all?
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall
So let me tell you this...

Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Some people search forever for that one special kiss
Oh, I can’t believe it’s happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Oh, like this
Oh, I can’t believe it’s happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment
Like this.

BEFORE YOUR LOVE
(Gary Burr / Desmond Child / Cathy Dennis)
I wonder how I ever made it through a day
How did I settle for a world in shades of grey?
When you go in circles, all the scenes look the same
And you don’t know why
When I looked into your eyes
The world stretched out in front of me
And I realized

I never lived before your love
I never flaw before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again, I wasn't really living
I never lived before your love

I wanted more than just an ordinary life
All of my dreams seemed like castles in the sky
I stand before you and my heart is in your hands
And I don’t know how
I survived without your kiss
Cause you’re giving me a reason to exist

I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again I wasn’t really living
I never lived, I never lived before your love

And I don’t know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you breath your love into me just in time

I never lived before your love
I never felt before your touch
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
But then again I wasn’t really living
I never lived, I never lived before your love
