Second Thoughts Nicole Edwards I’m having a hard time With what you are implying I’m wondering what all I have been denying I’m having second, third, fourth thoughts I’m having fifth, sixth, seventh thoughts About what we oughta do About where we’re going to I’m talking in my sleep I’m choking back my words Sometimes I feel angry Sometimes I feel just absurd I’m having second, third, fourth thoughts I’m having fifth, sixth, seventh thoughts About what we oughta do About where we’re going to Is love enough to keep us both intact How can we talk it out without both feeling attacked? I try to understand I try to let things go I try to understand I try to let things go I try to work it out In every way I know still I’m having second, third, fourth thoughts I’m having fifth, sixth, seventh thoughts About what we oughta do About where we’re going to I love you I love you My love, What are we going to do?

Spit......... Nicole Edwards You see a dirty little girl with my mouth full of mud Left here just to chew my cud I’m gonna spit at you I’ve got sand in my teeth and gravel in my voice It was fed to me, it wasn’t my choice I’m gonna spit at you Just one look my stomach drops The fire rages it doesn’t stop Just one word is all it takes And something inside me breaks It’s not supposed to be this way How am I supposed to get on with my day “nothing is ever good enough” you say I’ll just try to stay out of your way I’m a snotty-nosed girl with my mouth full of noise I’ll be out throwing rocks at the boys I’m gonna spit at you My dress is clean but it hides the sticks and stones stuck in my side I’m gonna spit at you Just one look my stomach drops The fire rages it doesn’t stop Just one word is all it takes And something inside me breaks It’s not supposed to be this way How am I supposed to get on with my day “nothing is ever good enough” you say I’ll just try to stay out of your way I’m a bitter little girl with my mouth full of pride I fake it ‘til I make it, God knows I’ve tried I’m gonna spit at you I’m an angry little girl with my mouth full of smoke I’m gonna let it all out before I choke I’m gonna spit at you Dirty little proud little bitter little angry girl I’m gonna spit at you

Neighbour 03:35

Neighbour...... Nicole Edwards Thanks for letting me drip on your floor Thanks for the chair when my feet were sore A smile, some food, a telephone call What you offer is much more Neighbour I’ve got a modest confession I’m relatively self-sufficient but I still have some lessons to learn I sleep better at night knowing your door is always open There’s something about unconditional There are no ifs or buts when I’m at your door To listen without judgement My time with you is well spent When we’re together we can be ourselves There is no need to put emotions on the shelf Sometimes laughter sometimes tears I’ll keep these moments with me for years Neighbour I’ve got a modest confession I’m relatively self-sufficient but I still have some lessons to learn I sleep better at night knowing your door is always open Knowing that you’re near Knowing that you’re not far Helps me to feel safe When things are hard Neighbour I’ve got a modest confession I’m relatively self-sufficient but I still have some lessons to learn I sleep better at night knowing your door is always open

C't'aujourd'hui l'jour de l'an Gaie lon la mon joe ma lurette C't'aujourd'hui l'jour de l'an Y faut changer d'maitresse Y faut changer d'maitresse mon Joe Y faut changer d'maitresse Echangera qui voudra Mais moi je garde la mienne Elle a de jolis yeux doux Une bouche vermeille Comme il serait doux D'avoir un baiser d'elle Mais encore bien plus doux De dormir avec elle Dans un grand lit blanc Tout pres d'une chandelle

History 02:23

History...... Nicole Edwards I’d been doing my own thing Hadn’t seen you in a while And I saw you with her And couldn’t look away I used to know that look in your eye I used to know that curve of your smile Then I saw you touch her in that familiar way It had to hit me in the face For me to truly see That you and me are History Something happens to a life When that chemistry collides And you let yourself be carried away How could I have known That our love would not grow And I’d be watching you touch her in that familiar way It had to hit me in the face For me to truly see That you and me are History Letting go is not as easy as it seems Move on I know, But I was not prepared for this No I was not prepared It had to hit me in the face For me to truly see That you and me are History I could see you loved the attention I could see you liked to be admired And it was time for me to just walk away, ‘cause You and me are History

Elle va me suivre....... Nicole Edwards Une nuit d’hiver Un ciel si clair Et une pleine lune Elle va me suivre j’en suis sure Une tempete dans ma tete Et une plein lune Elle va me suivre j’en suis sure Toute la tristesse bien cachee dans la foret Peut sortir quand la neige est pure et brillante Mon coeur est fragile et mon corps est fatigue Mais je souffle de l’air frais et je peux continuer Une nuit d’hiver Un ciel si clair Et une pleine lune Elle va me suivre j’en suis sure Je suis mon nez J’suis pas sure ou j’irai J’entends les loups sur l’ile Et j’ai le gout d’y aller Je veux etre juste et j’essaie d’etre sage Je marche et je marche pour tourner la page Une nuit d’hiver Un ciel si clair Et une pleine lune Elle va me suivre j’en suis sure Une pleine lune - Elle va me suivre

Lemon Meringue Pie....... Nicole Edwards I thought I knew you the day that we met There was something in the air that said: take a chance I keep taking chances, don’t know what will happen next J’etais une belle grosse fille la chu ben trop mince Sweet tart, sweet tart Like lemon meringue pie Sweet tart, sweet tart Sticks to my teeth and tears my taste buds a part I sure like tasting. What have I learned: Lick up that hot sauce and you’re gonna get burned A little garlic & olive oil will go a long way Don’t know about tomorrow but that’s what I’ll have today Sweet tart, sweet tart Like lemon meringue pie Sweet tart, sweet tart Sticks to my teeth and tears my taste buds a part Las hojas del ajo covren los ojos de las hijas y los hijos Las hojas del ajo covren los ojos de las hijas y los hijos Sometimes I read the label, Sometimes I don’t care There are many different versions of fair Some things I can’t swallow, don’t know what I’m being fed Sometimes I get indigestion now I’m gonna feed myself Sweet tart, sweet tart Some salsa with my lemon merengue pie Sweet tart, sweet tart Sticks to my teeth and tears my taste buds a part

Berry Pickin’........ Nicole Edwards We go berry pickin’ every year, my Ma & me She says that I’m a good picker, that we’ll wait & see Some are for the “bread basket” some are for the bowl And if it starts raining we’ll have to sing that song Des fraises et des framboises Du bon vin j’en ai bu Des frasies et des framboises Jamais je me suis tant plu Come time for cleaning my hands & mouth are stained red and I won’t have had my fill until it’s time for bed These ones are for freezer and these ones are for jam These ones are for shortcake, crumble, pie or flan Des fraises et des framboises Du bon vin j’en ai bu Des frasies et des framboises Jamais je me suis tant plu Ick c’est bon, c’est delicieux Goin’ down, goin’ down the red lane Des fraises et des framboises Du bon vin j’en ai bu Des frasies et des framboises Jamais je me suis tant plu Des frasies et des framboises Jamais je me suis tant plu

Adventurers...... Nicole Edwards We are still little girls In our own ways We’re still Adventurers In our day to day Ojala, how I’ve looked up to you ‘She’s so strong splitting wood with her dad’ Now I see that strength in different ways I just listen, and look at your face I just listen and look at your face We are still little girls In our own ways We’re still Adventurers In our day to day Myra, how I’ve learned from you She said: “I don’t care what Leona says, I will play with whoever I want. I will play with whoever I want.” We are still little girls In our own ways We’re still Adventurers In our day to day It’s funny Looking at things through adult eyes now Surely I’ve not grown up yet There’ll still be more tears to wipe dry There will still be more tears to wipe dry We are still little girls In our own ways We’re still Adventurers In our day to day

Home to Me........ Nicole Edwards You used to tell me You knew I could never be true Although it was false I spent my days Trying to make it on up to you I was afraid of something Didn’t know what to believe Now I’m picking up the pieces I’m coming on home to me I’m coming on home, coming on home I’m coming on home to me Some might ask me Why did you just not stand your ground I was looking all over But my will was no where to be found Some might ask me Why did you just not stand tall I was standing as tall as I could With my back up against the wall I was afraid of something Didn’t know what to believe Now I’m picking up the pieces I’m coming on home to me, yes I am I’m coming on home, coming on home I’m coming on home to me You used to tell me You knew I could never be true Although it was false I spent my days Trying to make it on up to you I was afraid of something Didn’t know what to believe Now I’m picking up the pieces I’m coming on home to me I’m coming on home, coming on home I’m coming on home to me

Precious Rain....... Nicole Edwards I’m hot & bothered I wipe the sweat from my brow I’ve given ‘bout all I can give I could stand to get some now, some Water, I’m thirsty I’m drinking up your kind words Your love is precious rain I’ve been living in the desert Not much growth around But I’m moving onto fertile land I’m gonna plant a garden with my hands, I need Water, I’m thirsty I’m drinking up your kind words Your love is precious rain Oh the beauty, the richness, the diversity Of nurturing those flowers Of feeling my own power No more walking in the hot sand with no protection I’ve been burned way too much Now it’s time to fill my cup with water Oh the beauty, the richness, the diversity Of walking through lush forest With grace and with boldness I like living a life that’s full of celebration I’ll wash in a pure mountain waterfall and soak in a peaceful pool of Water, I’m thirsty I’m drinking up your kind words Your love is precious rain Gimme some of that Water, I’m thirsty I’m drinking up your kind words Your love is precious rain Water, water, water, precious rain Your love is precious rain
