I've never been into board games I never played Checkers or Chess, Clue or the rest, I thought The Game of Life was the best I've never been one for beating the odds It's 50/50, you either win or you lose it all But still, it leads a girl to wonder If I was a board game, would you roll my dice? (Cause) You played me like Snakes and Ladders I was the mouse and you were the black adder You were the X's and I was the O's And I lost every round of Roshambo, but Only got one question and it's this: baby, am I worth the Risk? I've never been good at card games I never win Crazy Eights, my poker face caves, I always get the Old Maid I've never believed in love at first sight But if you looked in my eyes, baby I just might But still, it leads a girl to wonder If I asked you, would you deal me the best hand? (Cause) You played me like Snakes and Ladders I was the mouse and you were the black adder You were the X's and I was the O's And I lost every round of Roshambo If you had a pair, you'd still tell me to Fish In President, I'm always at the bottom of the list, but Only got one question and it's this: baby, am I worth the Risk? (Cause) You're in my Cranium, you're the Mastermind You're the Apples to my Apples, and we always Play to Nine If I could get you to Say Anything, it'd be Sorry for all the Trouble You played me like Snakes and Ladders I was the mouse and you were the black adder You were the X's and I was the O's And I lost every round of Roshambo If you had a pair, you'd still tell me to Fish In President, I'm always at the bottom of the list But if you're ever in town, you should give me a call Cause baby, I think we could have it all You played me like Snakes and Ladders I was the mouse and you were the black adder You were the X's and I was the O's And I lost every round of Roshambo If you had a pair, you'd still tell me to Fish In President, I'm always at the bottom of the list But if you're ever in town, you should give me a call Cause baby, I think we could have it Baby, I think we could win it Baby, I think we should bet it Bet it all

It’s a beautiful day Birds are chirping away But I can’t find a reason to smile Not a cloud in the sky Has a worry but I Got them old town blues Then I put my red soul record My red soul record My red soul record on I put my red soul record My red soul record My red soul record on Tried to run but instead He got stuck in my head And I can’t find a way to escape On the town painted green These old bars ain’t my scene And I’m on my own again So I put my red soul record My red soul record My red soul record on I put my red soul record My red soul record My red soul record on So tell me what to do, what to say, who to be, my dear Cause it’s a deep dark purple haze I fall down into when you’re not near Gotta put my red soul record My red soul record My red soul record on Gotta put my red soul record My red soul record My red soul record on I gotta find that diamond love Leave them behind just because It’s the easier path to take Poured it all on the dirt brown floor Ain’t gonna do this anymore Oh no Cause it’s rags to riches, ashes to ashes to dust I’m putting all my elbow grease into getting rid of all of this rust Go put your red soul record Your red soul record Your red soul record on Go put your red soul record Your red soul record Your red soul record on

There’s a bowl that you keep by your front door Drop your keys in at night while you’re wanting for more Like thank you and maybe and pretty pretty please Oh, a house full of grownups and you’ll never find these Cause there’s a clock that you keep by your bedside It ticks away while you’re waiting to try To fill all the dreams floating round your head That can’t motivate you to get out of bed Oh your house Yes your house is full of things There’s a picture that you hang on your living room wall She painted it for you right before the fall Now it’s just you and the ghost left on the couch He keeps telling tales of the shape of her mouth Oh your house Yes your house is full of her Ooooh’s x2 I’m the girl sitting on your kitchen stool Not saying a word but being labelled a fool For wanting to chip away that block of stone And finally making this house a home Cause oh your house Yes your house is full of things And your house is full of her Well your house ain’t full of us

Someone tell me what to do cause I’m a bit of a mess Legal adult but I’m still in a kid mindset Where are the instructions on growing up? What are taxes or a mortgage, how do I vote? No more discounts on planes or trains or boats No one said it’d be this hard And I’m running, I’m running Running from the future I can be And I’m running, yes I’m running Running to find my way back to three Living on my own is really weird Still get nervous when I’m buying beer Even though my license says I can When I was little all I thought about was this If there’s one thing I would tell that kid It’s just embrace not being scared And I’m running, I’m running Running from the future that I want And I’m running, yes I’m running Running because I’m worried that I’m not Not enough to be myself To see a Grammy on my kitchen shelf Next to my Oscar and my Tony Not enough for radio Or a hundred sold out shows Even though that’s not the point of why I do this Cause I do this to connect With the girl that’s in her bedroom, saying What the hell’s the point of it all? And I sing to tell that girl Write those angsty little love songs About the one that broke your heart Even though you think it’s worthless 
Cause I’m telling you it isn’t If you do one thing just listen And stop running, girl stop running Running from when people say you can And I’ll stop running, gotta stop running Cause I think it’s about time I learned to stand
