1Music In Me
Written byLindsey Webster · Keith Slattery · Rob Chiarelli
Always had the music in me
Like it was the only way for my mind to be free
Always quick to write a lyric, never hard for me to hear it
I've got a melody inside of me
And I can get lost up in a song, got it running through my head all day long
I write it down like I'm supposed to, and I don't hear it the way most do
I've got a melody that could go on and onMusic in me
My melody goes high and low and in between
I got the music in meI remember the first time in my life, singing standards in the background every night
Got 100 bucks and a couple of drinks, we're talking humble beginnings
Always dreaming I'll be on a big stage under lights
And that was enough to keep me going
Steady writing down these words, never knowing
At the age of 29, I'd be on the Billboard chart, so high
That was the moment I knew music saved my lifeChorus
Yeah, I got the music
Knowin' it hit me every time, time
Yeah, I've got the music
Gonna free my soul, my spirit and my mindYeah, I got the music
Gonna free my state of mind
Yeah, I got the musicChorus ×3

2Time On You feat. Keyon Harrold
Written byLindsey Webster · Keith Slattery · Rob Chiarelli
Now you got my heart and we're all in it
And from the get-go, baby, from the beginning
I knew it was true, the only man I wanted
He was so fine, I'd have to make him mine
But you know patience really isn't in my nature
I find it so hard, so difficult
But when it comes to love, guess I'll just have to wait
And gotta promise myselfI'm gonna take my time on you
Really take my time on you
Maybe I'll be your dream come true
So I'm gonna take my time on youWell he's so strong, super fit
And can't forget to mention 'bout his big desire to make me smile
And baby all the while
Got a love so good
(Keeps me comin')
It keeps me comin' around
(Keeps me comin')
I think I'm ready for the big league
Ain't too proud, babe, so here I am, down on my knees
And then he said to me, "Baby, I aim to please
Just wait and see"Chorus
(Time on you)
(Time on you)
(Dream come true)
(Time on you)Chorus

Written byLindsey Webster · Keith Slattery · Rob Chiarelli
I like the way you love me, love the way you touch me

Boy, you simply control me, it's like I'm lost under a spellSo tonight, I'll do my makeup and put on a dress
The one you're always telling me that I look best in, baby
And when you wanna go, boy, I'll say let's
Now you've got a night set for success, wouldn't you say?
And I think that, baby, you ought to stayBecause I wanna make love to you
It's never too much, yeah, I know exactly what I wanna do
I wanna make love to you
No, it's never too much, yeah, I know exactly what I wanna do

Now I'm high on cloud nine all the time, and baby, you blow my mind
That a girl like me could be so lucky to find youChorus
I wanna make, I wanna make love
I wanna make, wanna make love
I wanna make love
Oh, it's just that simpleChorus ×3
So could be the floor, maybe the bed
And if you wanted to try the kitchen, I guess
You want a new position? Baby, say less
And baby, I know you're down and you're thinking ahead
A little foreplay in the foyer, now we made it to the floor again
Baby, I'm trying to say is I wanna make loveOh, it's just that simple
4Serenity Prayer
Written byLindsey Webster · Keith Slattery · Rob Chiarelli
Better with or better off without him?
(Yeah)
Whenever we stop, I know we'll just restart it
(Uh oh)
Every turn brings me right back to you
(Said it'll bring me right back to you)
Every time I bet I'll just regret it
(Bet I'll regret)
Turnin' around and sayin' I'll forget him
(Sayin' that I'll forget)
Every chance you play me like your fool
(While you play me like a fool)
Yeah!Tried to find a reason why I should leave him
Weighed the pros and cons and it turns out after all
If you lie to yourself long enough, you'll believe it
See rose-colored and before you know it, you fall
But why do I?Because I love him and I won't leave him
(I love)
Easy to find a reason
(Easy to find)
Better to say, I am willing to stay
While all the while wondering if I'mChorus
How can it be you really can't see
That the person you thought he was is really not him?
Ego may play a big role in the game
I'll bet it's easy to see if you were not me
That the path I've been walking really isn't that clear
Mirror may show you what you wanna know
Oh, and he knows'Cause he knows that where he goes I'll follow
(I'll follow)
Knows that I'll be here tomorrow
I'll be by his side for the rest of my life
All the while wondering if IChorus
So please grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change
And will I have the clarity
To be wise and know we are not one and the sameChorus
While you play me like a fool, yeah
My baby, oh my love, but you play me
Yeah you play me like a fool, yeah
Oh, oh oooooh
Yeah, yeahSo I ask myself, why don't you leave him?
After all of his lies, I believe him
Yes, I still love you after all that you do
'Cause he knows that where he goes I'll follow
Knows that I'll be there tomorrow
Baby you got me, forever your fool5Homewrecker
Written byLindsey Webster · Lorenzo Johnson · Christian Wright
Where do I begin? It was human nature
Purely innocent, he was no more than a friend
Surely did not intend to have my head on his chest
His lips kissing my neck, and I did not expect
All the chemistry, and like a chain reaction
Sooner or later, I knew that I had to mention
'Bout the girl he had, and how the time that we'd spent
Was something he left unsaid in a deleted textI know you know that I would never
Be the kind of girl you see whenever
You must know that I would never
Ever, be a homewreckerI know you know that I would never
Be the kind of girl you see whenever
You must know that I would never
Ever, be a homewreckerFunny thing is honestly
I see a picture perfect of you and me
(See a picture perfect)
But you know that I will never be
(I will never, I will never, no)
The one to make you choose between her or meNow let me take it back, tell it how it started
'Cause he wasn't mine to have even if I wanted
Was a surprise to me when he told me it was he
Being told that he should sleep lonely down by the TV
So the tables turned, and I knew that in the moment
The boy was all mine to have him if I wanted
But you gotta see I wouldn't take him if he
Was taken happily, because I'll never beChorus
But you gotta understand
Though I'd really like to have you for my man
(Like to have you for my)
Is it worth the price that I would pay
(Is it worth it? It isn't worth it, no)
To be the reason you would choose to go or stay?Chorus
6Ode To Mary Jane
Written byLindsey Webster · Keith Slattery · Rob Chiarelli
You make me wanna lay it back, kick up my feet
Take a minute, maybe two, to breathe
(Just breathe)
From the moment when I'm waking up till I go to sleep
Yeah, you lift me up to a higher place
And yeah, you always pick me up, make me feel at peace
When I'm feeling stressed and I need release
(I need release)
No, there ain't a better medicine, takes away the pain
Makes my love for you easy to explain
So right now we're gonna light it up
(Light it up)
Enjoy the taste while we listen to
An ode to Mary Jane
(While we listen to Mary)Mary, Mary Jane
(This is an ode to Mary Jane)
Mary, Mary Jane
(This is an ode to Mary Jane)From the moment I'm waking up till I go to sleep
(This is an ode to Mary Jane)
You're always helping to lift me up to a higher plane
(This is an ode to Mary Jane)
From the moment when I'm waking up, lift my spirits up
(This is an ode to Mary Jane)
Right now we're gonna enjoy the taste
While we listen to Mary Jane
(This is an ode to Mary Jane)
Ode to Mary JaneChorus
Ode to Mary Jane
7The Truth Is Never Told feat. Isaiah Sharkey
Written byLindsey Webster · Keith Slattery · Rob Chiarelli
Baby, was it easy for you to tell me
"You gotta leave?"
That the girl in your dreams really wasn't me
You figured it out, I wasn't the one
Oh, but little did I know
And it's a heartbreak I just can't take
But you seem to be moving onI've been thinking a lot thinking about better days
(Oh the better days)
The memory of all we had back when you were still here
(Oh it lingers)
Forgetting about all of the ways
You really never measured up for me
But the thing about it, I can't take
Is when I lay at night, I see your faceI'm trying, but it ain't that easy for me to just let it go
Put it all in the past, just act like I'm a girl you don't know
Baby, tell me was I just supposed to move along?
And was the house we built just not a home?
I put the blame on you, the blame on me
But that gets so old
And the truth is never toldI realize the truth is sometimes you and I
Cannot always expect to see eye to eye
But, I open up, you push me away
And then you say you don't have the time of day
To even think about or contemplate
And that this is the only waySo I've been drinking a lot, thinking about our wedding day
(We were gonna get married in February)
And the ring you put on my finger and then took away
(You promised)
You promised forever, I was in love
(I was in love)
And then the script was flipped and we were done
But the thing that I just can't escape
Is that there's no one here to take your placeChorus ×3
No, it is never told
No, it is never toldIf I'd had known you'd be such a letdown
Would never have bet all my love on you
Gonna maybe take me a minute to get it all down
Because I feel betrayed by a man that I loved
And I thought I knew
But you know that there's still a part of me
Thinks that you could change
And that we could save the love that remains
Just didn't think you'd be such a letdown
A letdown, a letdownBack in love, baby
Like where we started's where I really wanna be8Eternal Angel
Written byLindsey Webster · Keith Slattery · Rob Chiarelli · Omar Viramontes
It was a beautiful day when we learned you were on the way
A little scared, a little unprepared, but we would not let that get in the way
I couldn't wait to see the parts of him and you and the little parts of me
Oh, little did we know we would never get the chance to meetOur eternal angel
You are my son in the sky
Wherever I go, I will know
You will always be by my sideI may never know your smile
(No, I'll never know your smile)
Though I may never know
I'll wonder all the while
And always think about…Chorus
Oh, didn't wanna let go
No, I did not, I didn't wanna let go
Oh, didn't want to say goodbye
Didn't want to say goodbyeAnd though we may not know where it is we go
When our spirit's free
I will believe that you're always here with meI know everything will be all right
And I know because you will always be my guiding light
For the rest of my lifeChorus ×2
9What Is Meant To Be
Written byLindsey Webster · Keith Slattery · Rob Chiarelli
All the people you'll meet, all the places you'll see
In this whole wide world, you'll be bound to meet those who disagreeWho's to say at the end of the day
Whether all the shit you've weathered was worth it or in vain?
If you listen to the doubts you got, get stuck in your head
You will lose it in the moment if you forget
What is meant to be will beWhen I'm out on the road, every place that I go
Do my best to take in all the different people and the ways that they liveChorus
Solos
What is meant to be will be, oh yeah, but oh yeah
Chorus ×3
Solos
Oh, what is meant to be
Oh, what is meant to be will be, be10Cali feat. Kev Choice
Written byLindsey Webster · Lorenzo Johnson · Kev Choice
I'm going to Cali where the sunshine shines
Yeah, I'm going to Cali where they live life fine
'Cause I heard that in Cali you can make your dreams come true
And so that's what I'm gonna do
Go to Cali where it's all goodI don't wanna wait, I've been thinking and I know it's time
I need an escape from living this small-town vibe
And I'm thinking a change, yeah, change could really do me good
And I'm California dreaming, so I gotta do what I gotta doChorus
Living in LA, that's a lot of people's dream come true
Go out on the freeway, everybody's got a place to get to
And if I get feeling like I could use a little small-town vibe
I just go back to New York
Though I'm going back to Cali every timeChorus
Kev Choice
Yeah, yeah, come to Cali, that's where I'm from
Sun is golden, stay beamin', four seasons
Walking by the ocean, California dreaming
Redwoods to beaches, if you want a change of scenery
This what you need, ride down the coast, hair blowin' in the breeze
Go to Hollywood, how you shine, I know you'd be a star
Come up to the Bay, how you work, you know you'd be a boss
All across the state the mind state, just be who you are
Write songs under palms all night long
There's a difference between where you was born and where you belong
This beautiful weather gonna make everything feel better
Let us free your mind, sip some Napa Valley wine as I drop these rhymes, hot as the desert
I heard it never rains in Southern Cali, but it snows up north
Run away to San Francisco, many left their hearts
Peace and love, what you seek, while
Come chasing sunsets, riding waves
Warmer nights, brighter days
I'm going to Cali11Best In Me feat. Anthony Hamilton
Written byLindsey Webster · Lorenzo Johnson · Christian Wright · Anthony Hamilton
You meet me at the front door, wrap your arms around me
What can I say at the end of the day?
Your love is the only thing that I need
You opened up my car door, get in the seat beside me
You take my hand, best I ever had
Happy you're my manBoy, you're bringing out the best in me
And I believe there couldn't be another love deeper, endlessly
I will be what you need
'Cause boy, you bring such joy to me
And I know I may never find another love true, honestly
This is where I wanna be
'Cause you're bringing out the best in meAnthony Hamilton
What makes you so special?
Like you already know me, not just a physical thing
My mind and heart are controlling every part of me
So whatever I give you, just know, I really mean it
There's something, you complete me, you're all I need
You're bringing out the best of meChorus
I know you're good for me with the love you bring
I said, baby, you're bringing out the best of meChorus ×3
