If I Were A Boy by Reba

If I Were a Boy
If I were a boy even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning and throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys and chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted and I'd never get confronted for it,
'Cause they stick up for me
If I were a boy, I think I could under stand
How it feels to love a girl, I swear I'd be a better man
And I'd listen to her, 'cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted, 'cause he's takin' you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy, I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken, so they'd think that I was sleepin' alone
I'd put myself first and make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that she'll be faithful, waitin' for me to come home,
To come home
And if I were a boy, I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl, I swear I'd be a better man
And I'd listen to her, 'cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted, 'cause he's takin' you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
 
It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake, think I'd for give you like that
If you thought I would wait for you, you thought wrong
 
But you're just a boy, you don't understand, you don't understand
Oh, how it (feels to love a girl someday, you wish you were a better man
Oh, you don't listen to her, and you don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted, 'cause you're takin' her for granted
 
And everything you had got destroyed
But you're just a boy

Consider Me Gone by Reba

Consider Me Gone
Reba McEntire
Every time I turn the conversation to something deeper
Than the weather I can feel you all but shuttin' down.
And when I need an explanation for the silence you
Just tell me you don't wanna talk about it now.
What you're not saying is coming in loud
And clear we're at a crossroads here
If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose
If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you
If you don't get drunk on my kiss
If you think you can do better than this then I guess we're done
Let's not drag this on
Consider me gone
With you I've always been wide open like a window or an ocean.
There is nothing I've ever tried to hide.
So when you leave me not knowin' where you're goin'
I start thinkin' that we're lookin' we're lookin' at goodbye.
How about a strong shot of honesty
Don't you owe that to me
If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose
If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you
If you don't get drunk on my kiss
If you think you can do better than this then I guess we're done
Let's not drag this on
 
Consider me gone.
Consider me a memory.
Consider me the past.
Consider me a smile in an old photograph
 
Someone who used to make you laugh.
If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose
If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you
Then I guess we're done let's not drag this on.
Consider me gone.
Consider me gone.
Consider me gone.
 
Just consider me gone.

She Thinks His Name Was John By Reba Mc Intire

[Verse 1]
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 finger on
There is one who never leaves her thoughts

[Chorus]
And she thinks his name was John

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
And she thinks his name was John

[Verse 3]
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
Because 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 hanging on

[Chorus]
All she could say was she thinks his name was John
And she thinks his name was John

Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus

Wrecking Ball
We clawed, we chained, our hearts in vain
We jumped, never asking why
We kissed, I fell under your spell
A love no one could deny
Don’t you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can’t live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was break me
Yeah, you wreck me
I put you high up in the sky
And now, you’re not coming down
It slowly turned, you let me burn
And now, we’re ashes on the ground
Don’t you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can’t live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was break me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crouching in a blaze and fall
All you ever did was break me
 
Yeah, you wreck me
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should’ve let you in
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
 
I guess I should’ve let you in
Don’t you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was break me
 
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crouching in a blaze and fall
All you ever did was break me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
