I was wiser at 30 than I am now. My judgment was better at 12. If you look out the windshield of a Hyundai or a Bentley, you see the same road.
An' this house just ain't no home, Anytime she goes away.
I feel that it is healthier to look out at the world through a window than through a mirror. Otherwise, all you see is yourself and whatever is behind you.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, It's not warm when she's away, Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, And she's always gone too long, Anytime she goes away.
We're going through growing pains. It used to be Bubba lived next door with his pit bull. Now, it's Dr. So-and-So. They're going to want more of the service that is provided now.
Even if we don't raise the taxes, so much more money is going to come in. That's the only thing the town needs to come out of the 18th century.
Please swallow your pride If I have things you need to borrow For no one can fill those of your needs That you won't let show.
Lean on me when your not strong, and I'll be your friend. I'll help you carry on. For it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on.
When I look at you And the world's all right with me Just one look at you And I know it's gonna be A lovely day.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness every day.
The same love that made me laugh makes my cry.
If there is a load you have to bear that you can't carry, I'm right up the road. I'll share your load if you just call me.
If nobody throws all their rules at you, you might make a song with no introduction.
Just keep on using me, until you use me up.
