I'm Not So Tough
Mindy McCready
listen  "Ten Thousand Angels" by Mindy McCready (Steven Dale Jones/Billy Henderson)

1st Verse

Speakin' of the devil
Look who just walked in
He knows just where to find me
Here we go again

Pre Chorus

I can tell he's gonna ask me to dance
That's not as far as he wants to go
I need ten thousand angels
To help me tell him no

Chorus

Lead me not into temptation
Heaven help me to be strong
I can fight all that I'm feelin'
But I can't do it alone
Help me break this spell that I'm under
Guide my feet and hold me tight
I need ten thousand angels
Watchin' over me tonight

2nd Verse

It's time to face my weakness
Look him in the eye
Lord knows you won't be easy
But I've just gotta try

Pre Chorus

I can't let myself get lost in his arms
That's how I got my heart broke before
I need ten thousand angels
To walk me out the door

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

I need ten thousand angels
Watchin' over me tonight
Ten thousand angels
Watchin' over me tonight
Ten thousand angels
Watchin' over me tonight
Watchin' over me tonight



listen  "A Girl's Gotta Do (What A Girl's Gotta Do)" by Mindy McCready (Rick Bowles/Robert Byrne)

1st Verse

Well, first thing I did when you said good-bye
Was sit myself down and have a real good cry
The next thing I did was put my red dress on
And go downtown dancin' 'til the break of dawn

Chorus

A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
And now I gotta get to gettin' over you
Too bad I gotta do it with someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do

2nd Verse

Fancy meetin' you at our stompin' ground
Sorry if you caught me paintin' the town
Guess I should'a stayed home with your memory
Baby, don't take it personally

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Give me a call some time real soon
And remind me to remember to forget about you
Oh, yeah

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

A girl's gotta do it
Yeah, a girl's gotta do it
Too bad I gotta do it (with someone new)
Too bad I gotta do it with someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do



listen  "Without Love" by Mindy McCready (Skip Ewing/Tim Johnson)

1st Verse

Bobby got down on his knees
Said, 'Vicky, would you marry me?'
He slipped that ring upon her hand
She ran home to show her mom
Said, 'Lookie here what I've got on'
And that diamond sparkled on the band

Pre Chorus

She looked her daughter in the eye
Said, 'Girl you are so young
I just pray that in your heart
You know that he's the one'

Chorus

('Cause) without love
It don't mean a thing
It's just a rock
On a golden ring
You could take it down to an old pawn shop
Or toss it in the sea
'Cause without love
It don't mean a thing

2nd Verse

Five years down a rocky road
Bobby had some doubts, you know
He said, 'I'm not sure I feel the same'
She packed up her old suitcase
Note said, 'Bobby, here's your space
I can't stay if your heart's really changed'

Pre Chorus

He found a ring beside the pen
And tears filled up his eyes
It read, 'P.S., don't you realize that'

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Found her at her mama's house
Said, 'Girl, you gotta change your mind
You were talkin' about your ring
But I'm talkin' about my life'

Tag Chorus

'Cause without love
It don't mean a thing
You're my rock (you're my rock)
Here's your golden ring
I'm beggin' you to take it back
Baby, now I see
That without love
It don't mean a thing, oh
No, without love
It don't mean a thing
(Without love)



"I'm Not So Tough" by Mindy McCready (Hillary Lindsey/Bruce Bouton/Robert Ellis Orrall)

1st Verse

I can almost read your mind
It's runnin' fast, out of control
You're afraid of what you'll find
If you get too close
You imagine I don't care
You see walls that just aren't there
You think I'm too strong to let you win
That's just not fair

Chorus

I'm not so tough
I call your bluff
And let you see
(A side of) me
Who wants you here
And cries real tears
I need someone to love
(I'm not so tough)
(So tough)

2nd Verse

I know that you've been hurt before
Well so have I, what can you do
That doesn't mean you close the door
So stop blamin' me, I don't blame you
I'm not some ghost from your past
The one who tore your heart in half
I'm not her, it's not my fault
You're holdin' on to that

(Chorus Out)



listen  "For A Good Time Call" by Mindy McCready (Tim Johnson/Gayle McCready/David Malloy)

1st Verse

When I gave you my number
Thought you would use it
It's just a little slip of paper
Darlin' did you lose it?
I been here all alone waitin' by this phone
But it ain't rang at all
Oh baby, for a good time call

Chorus

Oh, reach out and touch me
Don't you really wanna love me
Just seven numbers away from this heart 'a mine
Do I have to write it on the wall
(I'm pacin' up and down this hall)
Oh baby, for a good time call

2nd Verse

Maybe we could see a movie
Or take a walk and hold hands
I know a place that's got good music
Where we can slow dance
Darlin' if we do, I'll show you
What it really means to fall
Oh baby, for a good time call

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Tag

For a good time call
Oh oh
