But it aint about winning its about THE FIRE IN YOUR BELLY.

Chiquitita Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong You're enchained by your own sorrow In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow How I hate to see you like this There is no way you can deny it I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, tell me the truth I'm a shoulder you can cry on Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on You were always sure of yourself Now I see you've broken a feather I hope we can patch it up together Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita So the walls came tumbling down And your love's a blown out candle All is gone and it seems too hard to handle Chiquitita, tell me the truth There is no way you can deny it I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita <ABBA>

Have you been a fan of Reba ? She sings those killing blues... Only In My Mind (Reba McEntire) Oh on a park bench in the middle of July We sat and watched the children play If it was the heat or the noise He didn't have too much to say Then with a move of his eyes A move that could have made the wind stand still He took my hand in his and said the words That I never will forget He said have you ever cheated on me Has there been someone else Is there someone you love more than me Someone you can't forget If his memory is opened again Let it be chased away by time He said have you ever cheated on me I said only in my mind How can I tell him The time we spent together Was time between friends There's just somethings I can talk about with you That I can't just talk with him How can I tell you That somewhere in the cards it was meant for us to be Why am I blushing in front of you now Is it you or the heat He said have you ever cheated on me Has there been someone else Is there someone you love more than me Someone you can't forget If his memory is opened again Let it be chased away by time He said have you ever cheated on me I said only in my mind Darling have you ever cheated on me And I said only in my mind

Somebody Should Leave (Harlan Howard/Chick Rains) Vocals : Reba McEntire It sure gets quiet When the kids go to bed We sit here in the silence Putting off what must be said I read a book you watch TV As our love dies quietly I'm so sad I don't know what I just read Somebody should leave But which one should it be You need the kids and they need me Somebody should leave But we hate to give in We keep hoping somehow we might need each other again You say goodnight and turn and face the wall We lie here in the darkness and the tears start to fall If it was only you and me goodbye might come more easily But what about those babies down the hall Somebody should leave But which one should it be You need the kids and they need me Somebody should leave But we hate to give in We keep hoping somehow we might need each other again Somebody should leave But which one should it be You need the kids and they need me Somebody should leave But we hate to give in We keep hoping somehow we might need each other again *I remember the time too well..

One Promise Too Late (Dave Loggins/Lisa Silver/Don Schlitz) Reba McEntire I would have waited forever If I'd known that you'd be here We could have shared our lives together And held each other close all through the years But I've met someone before you And my heart just couldn't wait So no matter how much I adore you I've got to stand behind the promise that I made Where were you When I could have loved you Where were you When I gave my heart away All my life I've been dreaming of you You came along one promise too late You came along one promise too late I won't say that I'm sorry that I met you I can't have you but I never will forget you Where were you When I could have loved you Where were you When I gave my heart away All my life I've been dreaming of you You came along one promise too late You came along one promise too late Where were you When I could have loved you Where were you When I gave my heart away All my life I've been dreaming of you You came along one promise too late You came along one promise too late

And this one was about Aids....i remember when it hit the radio back then......its a really moving piece... McEntire goes into controversial territory on one song on the album, "She Thinks His Name Was John," as she reveals a woman dying from AIDS and how only one unfortunate encounter with an unknown man has cost her everything. Singing so profoundly, this passage knocks us to our knees as we feel this woman's pain, "She lays all alone and cries herself to sleep 'cause she let a stranger kill her hopes and her dreams." As the song unfolds, we learn that this is not a promiscuous woman, but there was once a man she met at a party whom she had a one-night stand with and "She thinks his name was John." We learn an important message from song writers Sandy Knox (who also co-wrote another song on the album, "Why Haven't I Heard From You?") and Steve Rosen about the fatal realities behind unsafe sex. "She Thinks His Name Was John" (destined to be a hit) is an important breakthrough for country music. And, Reba McEntire has enough fans and prominence to bring this deadly subject into the light with compassion and dignity. She Thinks His Name Was John (Sandy Knox/Steve Rosen) She can account for all of the men in her past Where they are now, who they married, how many kids they have She knew their backgrounds, family and friends A few she even talks to now and then But there is one she can't put her fingers on There is one who never leaves her thoughts And she thinks his name was John A chance meeting, a party a few years back Broad shoulders and blue eyes, his hair was so black He was a friend of friend you could say She let his smile just sweep her away And in her heart she knew that it was wrong But too much wine and she left his bed at dawn And she thinks his name was John Now each day is one day that's left in her life She won't know love, have a marriage or sing lullabies She lays all alone and cries herself to sleep 'Cause she let a stranger kill her hopes and her dreams And all her friends say what a pity what a loss And in the end when she was barely hangin' on All she could say is she thinks his name was John She thinks his name was John

BTW: Why don't you post here anymore ? Coz i've taken over your thread ? LOL C'mon, churn out those profound impristine-style rhymes and lets have a party...just you 'n me.... Fancy Well I remember it all very well lookin' back It was the summer I turned eighteen We lived in a one room, rundown shack On the outskirts of New Orleans We didn't have money for food or rent To say the least we were hard pressed Then Mama spent every last penny we had To buy me a dancin' dress Mama washed and combed and curled my hair And she painted my eyes and lips then I stepped into a satin' dancin' dress that had a split on the side clean up to my hip It was red velvet trim and it fit me good Standin' back from the lookin' glass There stood a woman where a half grown kid had stood She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Mama dabbled a little bit of perfume on my neck And she kissed my cheek Then I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eyes When she started to speak She looked at a pitiful shack And then she looked at me and took a ragged breath She said your Pa's run off and I'm real sick And the baby's gonna starve to death She handed me a heart shaped locket that said "To thine own self be true" And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl accross The toe of my high heeled shoe It sounded like somebody else that was talkin' Askin' Mama what do I do She said be nice to the gentlemen Fancy And they'll be nice to you She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Lord forgive me for what I do, but if you want out Well it's up to you Now don't let me down You better start movin' uptown Well, that was the last time I saw my Ma The night I left that rickety shack The welfare people came and took the baby Mama died and I ain't been back But the wheels of fate had started to turn And for me there was no way out And it wasn't very long 'til I knew exactly What my Mama'd been talkin' about I knew what I had to do but I made myself this solemn vow That I's gonna be a lady someday Though I didn't know when or how I couldn't see spending the rest of my life With my head hung down in shame You know I might have been born just plain white trash But Fancy was my name Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down It wasn't long after that benevolent man Took me off the street And one week later I was pourin' his tea In a five room hotel suite I charmed a king, congressman And an occasional aristocrat Then I got me a Georgia mansion In an elegant New York townhouse flat And I ain't done bad Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous hippocrates That would call me bad And criticize Mama for turning me out No matter how little we had But though I ain't had to worry 'bout nothin' For nigh on fifteen years I can still hear the desperation in my poor Mama's voice ringin' in my ear She said, here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Lord, forgive me for what I do But if you want out well it's up to you Now don't let me down You Mama's gonna help you uptown And I guess she did
