	Cheated
	I've been beating up myself, burning in hell Because I cheated, and I love you And you're in love with someone else as far as I can tell I'm defeated, but I'm not through 'Cause I loved you from the moment that I met you I knew it then, I never would forget you My feet came out from under Kissing you I wondered what I did to be let to Just to get to And now I'm beating up myself, burning in hell Because I cheated, and I love you And you're in love with someone else as far as I can tell I'm defeated, but I'm not through Now, I'm lying here with you and I'm not sure What I should do and what to look for Was it I who sent you running Baby, did you feel neglected Does he make you feel respected Or was it I who suspected you wanted more Chorus... Beating up myself, beating up myself Beating up myself (...in love) Copyright © 2000 Alan Ross Bennett
	Get to You
	The red pumps and the fake eyelashes Leather skirt and cheap sunglasses You really make 'em stare Rubber-necking at the site of your underwear In the blue light of the pool table Slow-dancing, peeling the label back From the shooter's Red Stripe Chain-smoking at the thought of where you'll spend the night But, you won't give head Lip-service and a drunken confession instead I see you at the show, you want to walk a mile in my shoes So, you sing along like you have the blues But, you don't feel pain Money from your daddy's running through your veins I could never get inside of you No, I could never get in sight of you But, I would like to get through So, how do I get to you, how do I get to you I remember when the summer began I was open, Hoping to get something started, on the lifeguard stand, In the sand, eating from each other's hand Now, I'm broken-hearted, guarded and coping Guarded and coping So, I step outside and I'm back on the scene Tonight I'll meet another Dancing Queen in a halter, Bellying-up at the altar Her confession, my obsession Her conversion, my perversion Another version of a girl that used to love me And, when it ended (And, when it ended, pretended she was above me She pretended but she loved me) I could never get back inside of her But, I tried to get back in sight of her Could never get through So, how do I get to you, how do I get to you How do I get through to you Copyright © 2001 Alan Ross Bennett
	Could've Been Love
	Romeo's climbing back behind the wheel Tire-tracks on the football field Could've been love Shoulder to shoulder, trying not to stare Peepshow-Patty on a folding chair Could've been love Could've been loneliness, it could've been lust Could've been only an adrenaline rush Could've been love Bubba got caught and now he's on the tube Straight-faced as a prostitute Could've been love All the king's men want to see him fall 'Cause there ain't no glory in protocol But there could've been love Could've been loneliness, could've been lust Could've been only an adrenaline rush Could've been love Could've been the change in a sensitive song Could've been a lack of anything wrong Could've been love It may be biological, it may be psychological Maybe it's a combination, maybe an hallucination Mr. Resistor is about to cry The tender pretender has no alibi Could've been love Could've been loneliness, could've been lust Could've been only an adrenaline rush Could've been the change in a sensitive song Could've been a lack of anything wrong And it could've been love Copyright © 1999 Alan Ross Bennett
	Send Me Someone
	I thought that I would die when you drove away tonight I saw your eyes in the tail-lights, burning Well, you met someone new and I'm happy for you But, I'm sad and see the tables are turning When you were mine I let you go Always trying to take things slow So, how come I am crying over you tonight Please God, send me someone too You know I don't believe in you But, I can't do this on my own Please God, send me someone soon On your face there's a trace that time won't erase A place that you save for me forever But, in your heart, I know, you've started to let go And, that's good because you should because it's better When we were breaking up I knew There was something waiting for me and you So, how come I am crying over you tonight Please God, send me someone too You know I don't believe in you But, I can't do this on my own Please God, send me someone soon Don't let this heart turn to stone Don't leave me here alone Copyright © 2003 Alan Ross Bennett
	Freight Train Love
	Freight train love is all I ever knew of Rolling in and out of view (repeat) I don't show this world my heart I don't know if I'm dumb or smart I don't show this world my heart One mistake is all it takes Hearts can break so easily Believe me Freight train love is all I ever knew of Before I ever knew of you (repeat) Now, how am I gonna make it through These nights of black and days of blue All the pain of loving you (repeat) One mistake is all it takes Hearts can break so easily Believe me Copyright © 2003 Alan Ross Bennett
	I Love To
	I love to at the break of day See the sun rise on your face I love to, love to I love to, love to adore you I love it when you wear my clothes Kiss me softly and hold me close I love to, love to I love to, love to be close to you Rain is falling on our window pane People are calling but we're not answering I love it when you take my hand And, show me something I don't understand I love to, love to I love to, love to be shown by you Sunday morning we have dinner in bed Monday morning you're still in my head I love to at the break of day See the sun rise on your face I love to, love to I love to, love to adore you I love to, love to be close to you I love to, love to Baby, I do Copyright © 2003 Alan Ross Bennett
	Deserving
	I've tried so hard to make it to the place I'm standing in Down the road of my desire, through every state I've been I've tried so hard to fake it, I'm surprised I've come this far Never had a real direction, just a question in my heart Hey, I ain't no different than I've ever been After all the searching and suffering There's an opening and I'm walking in, in, in And, I'm beginning to feel deserving So long I've been running, working all the time Late at night and on the weekends, barely getting by Ever in transition, ever on the go Just trying to be better than the day before But, hey, I ain't no different than I've ever been After all the searching and suffering There's an opening and I'm walking in, in, in And, I'm beginning to feel deserving I took so much for granted, I thought I had no voice So many times was stranded because I thought I had no choice Now, that's all behind me, that was yesterday Now, that all the certainty is falling away I can feel my heart again, I feel everything Love is the sweetest thing and I'm walking in, in, in And, I'm beginning to feel deserving Copyright © 2001 Alan Ross Bennett
	Cruel
	I have come to bring you what's in my heart Nothing in this world can keep us apart And I have come to bring you all that's gold Nothing you could do would make me be cold And you're so cruel, cruel I can't bear the thought of losing you So long, so wrong, I have waited so long Saw you in a dream when I was young And I have come to show you, I've come far I have come to know who you are You're so cruel, cruel And, I can't bear the thought of losing you So I pretend I'm just a friend And you'll never see what you mean to me Cruel, I can't bear the thought of losing you Copyright © 2000 Alan Ross Bennett
