GIVE YOU SOME Lyric and Melody by Tina Tufts-May I know I ain't been the kind of man You've always known I could be Seein' all the goodness way deep down I never ever saw in me I've taken roads that I regret And I've hurt so many on my way I lost count I guess Sure did my best To sabotage you and me But you just smiled kissed me on my cheek and said (Chorus) If you're thirsty and want water I will bring you some If you're cold and lonely boy I'll give you my love But if forgiveness is what you're lookin' for first- You gotta give you some I asked her girl what you mean by that She said take a look in the mirror You can't love no one till' you love yourself How can I make that any clearer Then she hugged me and grabbed my hand Brought me to a little church and said You can hide from the world But not from me Not from God and not from yourself (Repeat Chorus) If you're thirsty and want water I will bring you some If you're cold lonely boy I'll give you my love But if forgiveness is what you're lookin' for first You gotta give you some (Bridge) For the first time I got on my knees - and started stumblin through a prayer Said, I'm so tired of hatin' who I am - Hey God....are you really there...that's when I heard... (Chorus) When you're thirsty and want water I will bring you some When you're cold and lonely boy You have my love And my forgiveness has always been yours my son So give you some That's when I gave me some...

LOVE THAT LASTS Tina Tufts-May 100% of Lyric and 100% of melody written by: Tina Tufts-May Lead Vocal: Tina Tufts-May Johnny had an office in the sky On the fourty-second floor he was riding high On a six figure dream - and a yacht called "The Glory Queen" Well Bobby he stayed in his home town Built his home from the roof to the ground And swore he'd never leave - it was where he'd build his dreams And I was the girl they both wanted to have One could buy me the world - one just held out his hand and said, " I'll - I'll show you what it means to - make your memories" (Chorus) 'Cause you can't buy a ray of sunshine On a warm summer day There's no price for walking hand in hand Or feel the wind blow on your face But sometimes you get blinded by All the glitter and the glam So how do you decide what kind of man provides The kind of love that lasts Yeah yeah! Johnny swore I'd have the happiest wife I'd never want for anything - there's nothing money can't buy "Well my oh my" - I said, "Ain't that a tempting life?" But a brave - gentle - tender lovin' man The proof of what he stands for - all calloused in his hands Told me you can't buy someone's love - NO! It's not what forever's made of ( Repeat Chorus) Whoa! The kind of man that provides that kind of love- Is the kind of man I'm gonna have... (Repeat Chorus) The kind of man that provides that kind of love - is the kind of man I'm gonna have The kind of love that lasts- yeah - that's the kind of love The kind of love that lasts - whoa yeah! - whoa yeah!

JUST LISTEN Lyric and Melody -Tina-Tufts May There's a message from your mind- floatin' in the air tonight So cold it cuts me to my soul... We can't go on like this - Your touch is something that miss You're here but still I feel alone Now I'm a desperate man - doin' everything I can To save a promise that- is slipping through our fingers (CHORUS) The flame we had is nearly out Communications broken down I don't believe - it's too late for us When what we do is not enough And every moment comes undone Let me tell you what's been missin' Baby please just listen... Fingertips run down your spine - to proclaim that you're all mine That's me sayin' that I love you Close your eyes and hear my hands - They're tryin' to make you understand- Let them find a way to get through We need to finally see - what our busy lives have done We give it all to everyone - but not each other... (CHORUS) (BRIDGE) Tell me you still believe- I'm the kind of man you need You're the woman I adore - it's time to show each other more.... (CHORUS X2) (TAG) Oh just Listen ...Baby please just listen...

DON’T LEAVE OUR BED Tina Tufts-May The fights’ gone on – for what feels like a week or more No one’s bendin’ – no one’s cavin’ – no one’s talkin’ anymore And we tip toe ‘round each other- like a mine field in a war Where hurt becomes the armor - with every slammin’ door And then the night falls on our home like some unwelcome guest You look at me – I look at you - you clutch a pillow to your chest (Chorus) Don’t leave our bed Don’t drive that wedge Leave the day to fight our devils And use the night to sleep with angels Don’t leave me here alone To let our love grow cold….don’t leave our bed Layin' back to back- Can you hear my ragged breath? While I'm cryin' -are you lyin there - With a heart filled with regret All the stubborn pride I'm holdin’ – I can feel it melt away And I want so bad to touch you – but I don’t know what to say.. My fingers brush across your shoulder – I pray the storm is blowing over You look at me – I look at you – you say I’m sorry – as I say it too… (Chorus) (Bridge) I know it's hard to find forgiveness when the sun goes down - But baby try - don't let the place - the place we make our love- become our battle ground.... don’t leave our bed…. Don’t’ drive that wedge Use the day to fight our devils Leave the night to sleep with angels….. (Chorus) (Tag) Whoa.....

BRAVE NEW GIRL Tina (Tufts) May © 2010 Well she married a man who was just like her father And the circle went round with every hit and every holler He took her self esteem and crushed it underneath his feet Like a monster… Well a tiny little voice buried deep in her soul Fought it’s way to the surface – and took control She yelled her resignation with her fist raised high “You won’t touch me again ‘ - I’m sayin good-bye” (Chorus) She’s a brave new girl In her brand-new world Full of hope and salvation She’s gonna touch the sky There’s no time to cry She wasn’t made to be broken She wants her piece of Heaven (whoa!) And she’s ready to climb She takes one step - then two more As she gives life a whirl She’s a brave new girl In a race with the wind never once lookin’ back She left her demons and her devils sniffin’ at her tracks Even when the pain of him and all those memories Tried to hold her back Well she found herself in Memphis - got herself a job Startin’ right down at the bottom – she built herself back up Now the mirror finally tells her – you’re the bravest one of all ‘Cause the smile that you wear - says you didn’t fall! (Chorus) (Bridge) Then Ooooooooo…….One day she met a man Who’s gentle eyes and tender hands Taught her how to trust again….. (Chorus) Now she’s a brave new girl In her brand new world Full of hope and salvation She's gonna touch the sky She feels so alive YEAH! She wants her piece of Heaven (whoa) And she’s ready to climb She takes one step- then two more As she gives love a whirl She’s a brave new girl… In her brand new world… A brave new girl!

HOUSE WITHOUT A WINDOW Tina Tufts May To see a person's soul look in their eyes The windows straight to everything inside That's what they say - but it don't pertain to you You said it seems you're the exception to the rule...(you said) (Chorus) Your heart lives in a house - where you took out all the glass And boarded up the holes - to hide a painful past You said your soul is dark and cold I said there's love where there is hope You say it's safer just for you to live alone In a house without a window I know you gave her everything you had And she threw it in your face to have a laugh I can imagine how that - must have made you feel 'Cause I could see the wounds that you refused to - let heal (Repeat Chorus) (Bridge) But the sun finds a way inside - where there's a crack You walked to the light and felt the wamth .. And it bring you back....You said I brought you back... You said your soul was dark and cold But my love it brought you hope Then said, I can't believe I ever lived alone I said with me I swear you'll never call your home A house without a window....

YOU LOVE ME Tina Tufts-May Lyric,melody and vocal - Tina Tufts-May I’ve followed some roads – I’ve done some things – and I have sinned I’ve hung my head – so no one could see – my shame within And on my knees - Lord I have prayed – for your forgiveness more than once I’ve felt Your Grace – I’ve felt the touch – of your perfect boundless love So nothing holds me back… From being who I am ‘Cause In your hands I’m free To be who I was meant to be When all my fears and pain Come pouring down like the rain I turn to you Take shelter and believe That Jesus you love me Your mercy is great – Your heart is pure – And Your light shines To light the way – when I am weak – in troubled times ‘Cause when I’m down – evil will try – to lead me to despair But I’m not alone – I call your name - And know you’re always there (REPEAT CHORUS) (BRIDGE) Even when I’m not at my best When I turn right instead of left You love me still – so faithfully (REPEAT CHORUS X2 ) (TAG) I know that You – That Jesus You love me

Oklahoma Weather Bruce May/Tina Tufts-May She could care less if I come home late but she doesn't She could cry less when I hurt her if she tried She thought I was the perfect man but I wasn't Still she loves me just a shade more than she doesn't I could care less if she runs off with another man I could hurt a lot less when she says goodbye I could give up on her fickle heart but I won't 'Cause I love her just a shade more than I don't And our love as I remember is as tough as it is tender But we never could surrender to our fate And the days we spent together Were like that Oklahoma weather Sometimes too rough and cold But sometimes great So she'll keep running back to me 'til she doesn't And I'll keep loving her until I change my mind We thought we had the perfect love but it wasn't They say love is as love does And ours does just a shade more than it doesn't And our love as I remember is as tough as it is tender But we never could surrender to our fate And the days we spent together Were like that Oklahoma weather Sometimes too rough and cold But sometimes great
