Dear Friends,

Welcome to my on-line radio web page…

Some of these songs were recorded with full-blown production, while others are still in raw demo form. Call me crazy, but I LOVE hearing artist demos! I think they have a charm that can only be captured post writing “fever” when you simply need to get the song down in an audio format. The energy is always fresh, and untouched by the necessary smoothing of the rough edges required for broadcast quality recordings.

For me, each of these songs bring up a kaleidoscope of memories… Some wonderful, some bittersweet, and some of hard life lessons learned. The beauty of being alive is that we are all in a state of becoming. Life is a creative process, and is never static. All of our experiences are intrinsically valuable, and necessary for our evolution.

Songs capture pieces of our lives at different stages… Young, in love, in healing… I find so much joy in sharing my experiences, thoughts and growing pains through songwriting. I hope these songs move you the way they have moved me.

Love,
Rehya

    Happily Ever After

    Written By: Rehya Stevens & Bryan E. Miller

    Big dreams and fairytales
    Jasmine flowers, a snow-white veil
    Photographs of memories

    A storybook couple in a vintage frame
    Someday we’ll tell our kids about our wedding day
    And how you swept me off my feet forever

    But the world keeps crashin’ round
    We keep stumblin’ stumblin’
    It feels like we’re spinnin’ out
    We keep tumblin’ tumblin’
    It’s not how we thought it would be….

    Chorus:
    We’re gonna make it!
    To happily ever after
    I’m yours, you’re mine
    We’re here to stay
    Even on the bad days
    We wouldn’t want it any other way
    So we’re gonna make it!
    Through the tears and the laughter
    To happily after…
    After All…
    We’re gonna make it!

    Distant fantasies of Rome, flowing champagne
    A cozy chateau in the summer rain
    A getaway to break these sober

    Long days with just a kiss goodnight
    Trivial things, and stupid fights
    Then you spend our Sundays with your newspaper

    So the love I feel for you
    I’ll keep showin’ it, showin’ it
    I know you feel the way I do
    So keep growin’ it, growin’ it
    That flame will take us through anything

    Chorus:
    We’re gonna make it!
    To happily ever after
    I’m yours, you’re mine
    We’re here to stay
    Even on the bad days
    We wouldn’t want it any other way
    So we’re gonna make it!
    Through the tears and the laughter
    To happily after…

    Bridge:
    Imperfections, disconnections
    You try so hard to not make me cry
    Accusations, miscalculations
    When there’s nothin’ to hide

    Chorus:
    We’re gonna make it!
    To happily ever after
    I’m yours, you’re mine
    We’re here to stay
    Even on the bad days
    We wouldn’t want it any other way
    So we’re gonna make it!
    Through the tears and the laughter

    To happily after…
    After, after, after all…
    We’re gonna make it…
    So baby, take my hand
    We’re gonna make it!
    After, after, after all…
    To happily ever after

    NYC

    Music & Lyrics Written By: Rehya Stevens

    Chorus:
    New York puts me on a high
    New York puts me on a high
    There’s not a cloud up in the sky
    When New York takes me on a sensory high

    Verse:
    It’s just like the movies hangin’ in the park
    (Oh, Central Park)
    I love the Queens and the Brooklyn natives
    And the way they talk
    (straight talk)
    See the Wall Street Romeo’s
    The fashionista’s in couture
    And all the kids in young love
    (young love)
    Out on display
    Ohhh…

    Chorus:
    New York puts me on a high (NYC)
    New York puts me on a high
    There’s not a cloud up in the sky (up in the sky)
    When New York takes me on a sensory high
    (New York City, New York City)

    Verse:
    Oh, I’d like to read the memoirs
    Of rooftop Rendezvous
    Invitations to celebrations, intimations
    That I long to be invited to
    Makes me want to play (makes me wanna play)
    The “Sweetest Taboo”
    So smooth and so perfect (smooth)
    I’m in an NYC groove

    Chorus:
    New York puts me on a high (NYC)
    New York puts me on a high
    There’s not a cloud up in the sky
    (that’s where I wanna be)
    When New York takes me on a sensory high
    (New York City New York City)

    Bridge:
    It’s a kaleidoscope
    Of culture
    That I want to learn
    And not just observe
    As a tourist place
    See the people tryin’ to make it on the scene
    See the lovers in a hurry
    Subways in a blurry
    Rush of energy

    Breakdown:
    Soul
    Expression
    Drive, heat, tension
    Soul
    Expression
    Alive, dreams, Invention

    Chorus:
    New York puts me on a high
    New York puts me on a high
    There’s not a cloud up in the sky
    When New York takes me on a sensory high

    New York puts me on a high
    New York puts me on a high
    There’s not a cloud up in the sky
    When New York takes me on a sensory high

    I love it here
    I love it here

    Don’t Interrupt

    Written by Rehya Stevens and Duane Neillson

    The sun’s goin’ down
    And it’s getting late
    The moment is now
    But it’s starting to fade
    The temptation’s strong
    My senses obey
    The notion to melt in your arms
    Plays in sweet refrain

    Chorus:
    Don’t interrupt when you hear love callin’
    Baby don’t say goodnight
    Don’t interrupt when you feel you’re fallin’
    Baby don’t say goodbye

    That look in your eyes
    Can barely conceal our fate (pretty baby)
    It only seems wise
    To not hesitate
    Don’t Interrupt, Interrupt

    Chorus:
    Don’t interrupt when you hear love callin’
    Baby, don’t say goodnight
    Don’t interrupt when you feel you’re fallin’
    Baby, don’t say goodbye

    Bridge:
    Baby, I’m so inspired by you
    Stay awhile, Stay awhile
    Discover what my desire can do

    Chorus:
    Don’t interrupt when you hear love callin’
    Baby don’t say goodnight (Baby, don’t say it now)
    Don’t interrupt when you feel you’re fallin’
    Baby, don’t say goodbye (the sun’s goin’ down and the moment is now)
    Don’t interrupt when you hear love callin’
    Baby don’t say goodnight
    Don’t interrupt when you feel you’re fallin’
    Baby don’t say goodbye (baby, don’t let me down)

    Don’t interrupt, Interrupt yeah
    Don’t Interrupt, Interrupt yeah (Baby, I’m so inspired)
    Don’t Interrupt, Interrupt yeah
    Don’t interrupt, interrupt yeah (Baby, I’m so inspired by you)

    Baby, Goodbye

    Written by Rehya Stevens and Carmen Grillo

    You say it’s all in my mind
    But I know you too well
    I would have to be blind
    Not to see the way you fell
    That look in your eyes
    The way you lose your cool
    Oh it feels just like déjà vu

    Chorus:
    I know where you’ve been, where you’re goin’
    The way she warms you like a sunny mornin’
    The way that she warmed you tonight
    Well I’d hate to lose you to another woman
    I may sing the blues, but it don’t mean nothin’
    You’ve hurt me again for the last time
    So baby, goodbye

    You know you’ve done this before
    You were bound to do it again
    And every day since you swore
    You’d be true as long as you lived
    I should not be surprised
    Lord I must look like a fool
    I thought you loved me baby
    The way I love you

    Chorus:
    I know where you’ve been, where you’re goin’
    The way she warmed you like a sunny mornin’
    The way that she warmed you tonight
    If you need the hands of another woman
    I don’t understand and I’ll always wonder
    But there’s just no good reason why
    So baby, goodbye

    Bridge:
    I’ve run out of forgiveness
    I’d have to be out of my mind
    But God as my witness
    I’d have loved you for the rest of my life
    Ohhhh….

    But you started comin’ home so full of lies
    And I know you hate the truth, but I’ll tell you somethin’
    I just can’t get use to your way of lovin’
    And I think it’s your turn to cry
    So baby, goodbye

    Can’t Get You Out Of My Mind

    Written By Rehya Stevens & Eric Colvin

    Every time I see your face
    Oh…it makes my whole heart race
    And I just pray that no one knows
    Or my cover’s gonna get blown
    And if you dare find out
    I’ll be the fool everyone’s talkin’ about

    Chorus:
    I try so hard (I can’t help it!)
    I just can’t stop (Whatever I do)
    It’s you I want
    I keep dreamin’ of you, yeah
    And when I see your face (I can’t fight it)
    I fall from grace (I wanna tell it to you)
    That I’m a hopeless case
    Cuz I can’t get you out of my mind
    No, no, no, no

    Baby, it’s so hard to resist
    Oh…fantisizin’ about your kiss
    And oh baby, what it’d be like
    To make love to you every night
    And if you touched me now
    I’d be so high, I’d never come down

    Chorus:
    I try so hard (I can’t help it!)
    I just can’t stop (Whatever I do)
    It’s you I want
    I keep dreamin’ of you, yeah
    And when I see your face (I can’t fight it)
    I fall from grace (I wanna tell it to you)
    That I’m a hopeless case
    Cuz I can’t get you out of my mind
    No, no, no, no

    Bridge:
    Well this heart of mine
    Is goin’ crazy for you
    My soul is on fire
    And it burns from this muse
    My body trembles inside
    So hopelessly confused
    Won’t you make it alright?
    Cuz I can’t get you out of my mind
    Oh no, yeah…woo whoo…

    Chorus:
    I try so hard (I can’t help it)
    I just can’t stop (whatever I do)
    It’s you I want
    I keep dreamin’ of you, yeah
    And when I see your face
    I can’t fight it
    I fall from grace (I wanna tell it to you)
    That I’m a hopeless case

    All Because Of You

    Written By Rehya Stevens & Sandro Albert

    There was a time
    There was a phase
    I wasn’t right
    I was out of place

    I’d broken down
    I’d suffered fools
    I’d resigned to drown
    ‘Til you came to my rescue

    Chorus:
    Now my world is brighter
    My life is better
    My heart is stronger
    All because of you

    I’d lost my faith
    I was cold to the touch
    But the picture in the frame it changed
    When you showed me love

    Chorus:
    Now my world is brighter
    My life is better
    My heart is stronger
    All because of you
    My heart is lighter
    My soul has mended
    My dreams are alive again
    All because of you

    It’s frightening
    Just thinking
    What could have become of me…
    What could have become of me?
    You came for me!

    Chorus:
    Now my world is brighter (you brought me life again)
    My life is better (I’m coming to life again)
    My heart is stronger
    All because of you
    Now my world is brighter
    My soul has mended
    My heart is stronger
    All because of you

    Now my world is coming to life again
    You brought me to life again
    I’m coming to life again
    All because of you

    Afterthought

    Written By Rehya Stevens

    Tossing and turning…
    When you try to fall asleep at night
    Do you toss and turn?
    When you try your best to do things right
    Do you feel unsure?
    Is your attention deficient?
    Are you aware that something’s missin’
    Like me?
    Like me?

    Chorus:
    Acted before we thought
    Now nothin’ feels right
    We should have thought
    Should have thought to try
    Acted before we thought
    Instead we said goodbye
    Should have thought
    About you and I
    Acted before we thought
    Now I think day and night
    Now I think day and night
    I wish we hadn’t made love
    An afterthought
    An afterthought

    When you’re talkin’ on the telephone
    Does your voice sound strange?
    Drivin’ in the car on your way home
    Do you drift off on a daze?
    Is your performance insufficient?
    Is your attitude indifferent?
    Like mine?
    Like mine?

    Chorus:
    Acted before we thought
    Now nothing’s goin’ right
    Should have thought
    Now I’ve got a one-track mind
    Acted before we thought
    Instead we said goodbye
    Should have thought
    About you and I
    Acted before we thought
    Now I think all the time
    Now I think all the time
    I wish we hadn’t made love
    An Afterthought
    An Afterthought

    Oh…

    Bridge:
    It was such a big mistake!
    No, I don’t even remember
    The point I was tryin’ to make
    I wasn’t thinkin’ straight, ohhh

    Chorus:
    Acted before we thought
    Now nothing’s goin’ right
    Should have thought (We should still be together)
    Now I’ve got a one-track mind
    Acted before we thought
    Instead we said goodbye
    Should have thought (No I don’t even remember)
    About you and I
    Acted before we thought
    Now nothing’s goin’ right
    Should have thought
    Now I’ve got a one-track mind
    I wish we hadn’t made love
    An afterthought
    An afterthought

    I wish we hadn’t made love
    I wish we hadn’t made love
    I wish we hadn’t made love
    An afterthought

    Count The Ways

    Written By by Rehya Stevens

    I’ve got somethin’ that I’ve got to say baby
    I can’t control these thoughts
    from tuggin’ at my mind
    It seems to me we’re spinnin’ worlds apart lately
    And it just ain’t right

    So baby just in case
    You may have been curious
    I don’t like this phase
    It’s been takin’ its toll on us
    And I’ve been goin’ crazy
    Longin’ to feel your touch
    It may be a little hazy
    So let me count all the ways why I love you so much
    I love you cuz…

    Chorus:
    (Count the ways)
    You happen to be the most incredible thing
    Thoughtful and sweet
    Like gentlemen ought to be
    You sweep me off of my feet
    The way you hunger for me
    And show me respect so sensitively
    (Count, count, count, count the ways)
    You’re never jealous or mean
    You never wanna be free
    You don’t ever deceive or threaten to leave
    So when I’m holdin’ you close
    I know it’s for real
    I’m free to reveal what every woman should feel, yeah

    Hey Lover…

    Won’t you let me take you in my arms sweetheart?
    You give me butterflies whenever you come near
    I can’t pretend it’s happening
    when we’re far apart baby
    I got to make my love clear
    So come here

    Baby just in case
    You may have been curious
    I don’t like this phase
    It’s been taking its toll on us
    And I’ve been in a daze
    Dreamin’ about your touch
    Yeah you can call me crazy
    Because I gotta count all the ways why I love you so much

    I love you cuz…

    Chorus:
    (Count the ways)
    You happen to be the most incredible thing
    Thoughtful and sweet
    Like gentlemen ought to be

    And show me respect so sensitively
    (Count, count, count, count the ways)
    You’re so romantic and wild
    You’re the genuine kind
    And when you give me your smile,
    I’m so happy you’re mine
    When I’m here in your arms
    Your love is tender and warm
    I can never resist your sweet innocent charms
    (Count the ways)
    It’s everything that you are…oh…
    (Count, count, count, count the ways)

    Count all the ways why I love you so much
    Count all the ways why I love you so much
    Count all the ways why I love you so much

    You’re the man that I want (Count the ways)

    Careless

    Written by: Rehya Stevens

    I’m sorry
    I didn’t mean to hurt you
    I’m sorry
    If you want to stand your ground
    I didn’t mean to be careless with your heart

    I’m tryin’
    To do what it takes to love you
    I’m giving
    Everything I have
    But my love has been with you from the start
    I never thought you would take this thing to heart

    Chorus:
    Hear me out
    Here and now
    Hear me say…
    “You’re my heart, you’re my life, you’re my fate”
    I just can’t let you go
    But I want you to know either way
    I was careless and human
    But damned if I’ve ruined
    The one thing that matters to me
    That matters to me

    I’m sorry
    I didn’t mean to hurt you
    I’m sorry
    I know that I’ve let you down
    And knowing how much I did is the hardest part
    I only hope that you’ll take these words to heart

    Chorus:
    Hear me out
    Here and now
    Hear me say…
    “You’re my heart, you’re my life, you’re my fate”
    I just can’t let you go
    But I want you to know either way
    I was careless and human
    But damned if I’ve ruined
    The one thing that matters to me
    That matters to me

    Bridge:
    I know now
    What I couldn’t see back then
    Tell me how
    I want to make amends

    Chorus:
    Hear me out…
    Here and now
    Hear me say…
    “You’re my heart, you’re my life, you’re my fate”
    I just can’t let you go
    But I want you to know, baby
    I was careless and human
    But damned if I’ve ruined
    The one thing that matters to me
    That matters to me

    And you matter to me
    You matter to me
    You matter to me

    I Could Get Used To You

    Written By Rehya Stevens, Jeff Cohen and Michael Ochs

    You showed up
    And you showed me devotion
    Didn’t rush me
    Or play my emotions
    Heard me speak
    When I needed you to listen

    What did I do to deserve you baby?
    You see me
    You know me
    Seducing me slowly

    Chorus:
    I could get used to you doin’ me right
    I could hold onto you the rest of my life
    Day after day, night after night
    I could get used to, get used to you
    Doin’ me right
    Right….

    When we met
    I denied the attraction
    But you broke down my defense
    Then it happened
    One last question
    I can’t help but asking’

    What did I do to deserve you baby?
    You see me

    The Story Of Us

    Written By Rehya Stevens & Larry Antonino

    It’s been a long time
    Since I’ve felt such chemistry
    You put your hand in mine
    And I feel like I could float away
    Underneath the stars
    Talkin’ and kissing
    Boy, this is the start
    Of sweet reminiscing

    Pre Chorus:
    About the old diner
    Where we use to meet
    Closin’ it down in the summer heat
    Or that high when
    We kissed for the first time
    Or that night on
    The old porch swing
    Over the sounds of the crickets singing
    Confiding until the morning light

    Chorus:
    This is the story of us
    Of how I became yours and you became mine
    This is the story of us
    Along the way we’re gonna love to rewind
    This is the story of us
    Of how I became yours and you became mine
    This is the story of us
    With only a happy ending in sight

    It’s been hard to find
    Somebody who understands
    Confessions flow like wine
    Intimately at our command
    Whispering in the park
    So no one can listen
    Authentic as we are
    Boy, we make a picture

    Pre Chorus:
    At the old diner
    Where we use to meet
    Closin’ it down in the summer heat
    Or that high when
    We kissed for the first time
    Or that night on
    The old porch swing
    Over the sounds of the crickets singing
    Confiding until the morning light

    Chorus:
    This is the story of us
    Of how I became yours and you became mine
    This is the story of us
    Along the way we’re gonna love to rewind
    This is the story of us
    Of how I became yours and you became mine
    This is the story of us
    With only a happy ending in sight

    Bridge:
    Full of butterflies
    All the passerby’s say
    “Awe, look at how they play”
    If clouds hover in the sky
    Oblivious are you and I
    We’re Safe
    We’re Safe
    Together
    Together
    We’re Poetry

    Pre Chorus & Chorus Simultaneously:
    At the old diner
    Where we use to meet
    Closin’ it down in the summer heat
    Or that high when
    We kissed for the first time
    Or that night on
    The old porch swing
    Over the sounds of the crickets singing
    Confiding until the morning light

    Chorus:
    This is the story of us
    Of how I became yours and you became mine
    This is the story of us
    Along the way we’re gonna love to rewind

    A Little Bit Of Rain

    Written By Rehya Stevens and Larry Antonino

    I love the touch of your hand
    More than you know
    I want to be in your plans

    There’s so much that I don’t tell you
    But not because I don’t care
    If you only knew the lengths that I’ll go
    To fight the magic that’s in the air

    Chorus:
    When the wind blows, I shut the windows
    Before a little bit of rain will fall
    I want paradise, but even there half the time
    There’s a good share of rainfall
    There’s not much to gain, by keepin’ it sane
    But I’m still tender as a baby doll
    So you scare me like hell when you love me so well
    Cuz I don’t want to need love at all

    No, no. no

    I love the words from your mouth
    Oh…
    Making’ me vulnerable now

    See, I’ve had this fear since the first time I held you
    Of the sting from a cut so fine
    So, all my extremes and emotional undoing
    It’s not happening in your mind

    Chorus:
    When the wind blows, I shut the windows
    Before a little bit of rain will fall
    I want paradise, but even there half the time
    There’s a good share of rainfall
    There’s not much to gain, by keepin’ it sane
    But I’m still tender as a baby doll
    So you scare me like hell when you love me so well
    Cuz I don’t want to need your love at all

    Bridge:
    Well, if I had it my way I would feel no pain
    No triggers going off like crazy
    The sun would stay up
    I could fall in love
    Not question everything that you’re saying
    I hear what you’re saying…

    Chorus:
    When the wind blows, I shut the windows
    Before a little bit of rain will fall
    I want paradise, but even there half the time
    There’s a good share of rainfall
    There’s not much to gain, by keepin’ it sane
    But I’m still tender as a baby doll
    So you scare me like hell when you love me so well
    Cuz I don’t want to need your love at all
    No, no no

    I don’t want to need you…
    Because you scare me like hell when you love me so well

    Make love a business in a lonely world
    Lonely Boys
    Get backfire from their lowly ploys

    Verse:
    Oh, I hate
    To break it to you on the first date
    But I’m afraid
    Somebody’s got to set you straight
    I’ll step up
    And set you straight!

    That’s quite the chip on your shoulder you got
    When you talk about women
    You’re really trippin’ there soldier
    You ought to check that tunnel vision

    Lonely Girls
    Make love a business in a lonely world
    Lonely Boys

    I don’t buy it
    That you were taken by the bait & switch
    Don’t forget
    What you put out is what you get
    By the image that you project

    You can’t reduce every female
    To fit that box you want to give ‘em, no…
    C’mon baby, hit me with the details
    I sense some information missin’

    Once Upon A Time

    Written By Rehya Stevens & Larry Antonino

    A rainy night
    Is nostalgic weather
    I caught the five
    I missed the seven

    Now and then you’re here again
    My favorite memories are of you and I back then

    Chorus:
    Makin’ love in the rain to your old 45’s
    Missing the train all November
    That night on the roof on the 4th of July
    That really big fight in September
    That ended so nice
    Once Upon A Time
    Once Upon A Time
    When you were mine

    Yellowed with years
    Old love letters
    And photographs
    Of the two of us together

    Never have I had love like yours and mine
    No, never have I been moved quite like that time

    Chorus: We made love in the rain to your old 45’s
    Missing’ the train all November
    That night on the roof on the 4th of July
    Leaving the world far behind
    Among the fireflies
    Once Upon A Time

    Bridge:
    Time flies
    It can blur the years gone by
    But in my heart
    That spirit survives
    And burns in me always
    I remember you…

    Chorus:
    Of making love in the rain to your old 45’s
    Missing’ the train all November
    That night on the roof on the 4th of July
    That really big fight in September
    Making love in the rain to your old 45’s
    Missing’ the train all November
    That night on the roof on the 4th of July
    Leavin’ the world far behind
    Among the fireflies

    The Mean Time

    Written By Rehya Stevens and Larry Antonino

    Monday Morning Situation
    Does it have to be
    Suspended here in isolation
    Suspended in the in-between?

    Six degrees of separation
    Will we ever meet?
    Spending all my education
    Waiting in send and receive

    Chorus:
    These days it feels like
    we’re living’ in the mean time
    Isn’t anybody present?
    Who is anybody?
    Impersonal communication
    that we hide behind
    It’s got it’s benefits, I guess
    You can’t take it personally
    Can’t cut and paste a soul in a square
    So you sign off with a cliché “Take Care”
    You’re not over here, you’re not over there
    No, you’re in the mean time

    Tuesday morning aggravation
    Confusion in the lead
    Looking for some affirmation
    His decision to take it or leave

    Chorus:
    These days it feels like
    I’m living’ in the mean time
    Isn’t anybody present?
    Who is anybody?
    Impersonal communication
    that we hide behind
    It’s got it’s benefits, I guess
    I can’t take it personally
    If I could cut and paste my heart in a square
    He’d sign it with a cliché “Take Care”
    Well A face to face might make him play fair
    So, he stays there in the mean time

    Bridge:
    We’re all living together
    In a state of guarded protection
    Is this progress made for the better
    Or is it regression?
    A generation made up go-getters
    In pursuit of the professions
    All I know is it seems like we’re
    In need of human connection

    Where has the human touch gone?

    We’re in the mean time
    We’re in the mean time

    This Time It’s Over

    Written By Rehya Stevens and Steve Rawlins

    Another night finds you home
    And well meaning friends
    Have all but gone
    He’s gone away
    Left love behind
    And all you can do
    Is wonder why

    Chorus:
    And where do you go
    When you’re left to the silence?
    And how can you know
    When the answers will come?
    And why should you wait
    For someone to return?
    When do you finally realize
    Wake up and open up your eyes
    This Time it’s Over

    The empty space so sad and absurd
    Full of sweet memories
    And angry words
    And there’s nothing quite
    Quite like regret
    It’s so hard to forgive
    So hard to forget

    Chorus:
    And where do you go
    When you’re left to the silence?
    And how can you know
    When the answers will come?
    And why should you wait
    For someone to return?
    When does your heart admit the truth
    It’s not just a phase he’s goin’ through
    This Time it’s Over

    Bridge:
    And nothing would change even if he could see me now
    And all that remains, is all that remains
    Just space and time, saying goodbye
    To all that I held so dear
    It’s so suddenly quiet here

    Chorus:
    And where do you go
    When you’re left to the silence?
    And how can you know
    When the answers will come?
    And why should you wait
    For someone to return?
    When do you finally realize
    That there’s just no room for compromise?
    And that’s not love you’re seein’ in his eyes
    This Time it’s Over

    Mmmhmmm
    This Time It’s Over

    I got a good job
    I got a nice place
    I got everything I want

    My folks are back home
    I’m out on my own

    But these days I’m alone before they start
    And when the night falls down on me and myself in the dark
    Well, it breaks my heart

    Fast Enough For Ya?

    Written By Rehya Stevens & Carmen Grillo

    I know your kind
    You’re that guy
    At the center of a cyclone
    A “Rebel Jack”
    Well I don’t mind
    That suits me fine
    I’m headed for your red zone
    With led on the gas
    There’s trouble ahead
    But I don’t care
    Baby, let’s give it a whirl

    Chorus:
    Rev up my engine
    Shift my chassis into fifth gear
    We’ll entertain the truckers
    While you’re whispering in my ear
    Objects are movin’ closer than they appear
    Am I fast enough for ya?
    I’m a classy little Mustang
    Of sweet Country pedigree
    You’re a City Slicker
    In a beat up little Grand Prix
    Who’s turnin’ my red light green
    Am I fast enough for ya?

    I hear you’re new in town
    Tryin’ to rebound
    You’ve got a restless streak
    Don’t make your Mama proud
    They wanna tame your hyde
    Your wild side
    I’ll bet you push ‘em to the edge
    In your overdrive
    Well you’re no good
    For the neighborhood
    But you know how to shake up the scenery

    Rev up my engine
    Shift my chassis into fifth gear
    We’ll entertain the truckers

    Head Over Heels

    Written By Rehya Stevens & Glenn Halldorson

    I could find an actor
    To pay me lines that would melt my heart
    Or maybe I could find a master
    A Don Juan like a work of art
    But I ain’t no fool
    I’m totally cool
    Just feelin’ alright with you
    Babe, you’re just my type
    My Mister Right
    Ain’t nobody else could do

    Chorus:
    Some ride the pressure
    Heed every lecture
    I won’t take the heat
    You make me feel so sweet
    From my head down to my feet
    Some need perfection
    I don’t pay any attention
    Cuz I know what I feel
    Ain’t spinnin’ my wheels
    I think I’ve gone head over heels

    Haaa….
    Haaa….

    I’ve seen kings in action
    Strut across my TV screen
    (But they fall apart I know they aren’t for real)
    And I’ve seen queens enraptured
    In the smoke and mirror scene
    (But their broken hearts, they take a lot to heal)

    But, I like your part
    Think I’d be smart
    To keep my heart with you
    (And baby so far I’m lovin’ it all wouldn’t dream about someone new)
    I don’t get the trip
    I don’t need no script
    Just wanna be me and you
    (Because it feels so good, like the way that it should
    Wouldn’t change it even if I could)

    Chorus:
    Some ride the pressure
    Heed every lecture
    I won’t take the heat
    You make me feel so sweet
    From my head down to my feet

    I don’t pay any attention

    Bad Boy Curse

    Written By Rehya Stevens and Carmen Grillo

    He walks in swayin’
    Just a’ takin’ his time
    Don’t be persuaded
    He’s the casual kind
    He’s so fine, he’s just your style
    He’s so hard to resist

    He loves the ladies
    Any one he can find
    He’s always playin’
    Two or three at a time
    He’ll make you feel like number one
    He’s only lookin’ for fun make believin’ he cares

    Chorus:
    He’s a bad boy
    That’s all he can be
    He’s a bad boy
    In disguise as the man of your dreams
    And the good girls have a curse
    Cuz they always fall for bad boys first

    He keeps me waitin’
    And wondering why
    He leaves me on the edge of my seat, oh yeah
    Without even tryin’
    I don’t know how he can be so cold
    But he sets me on fire

    Chorus:
    He’s a bad boy
    That’s all he can be
    He’s a bad boy
    In disguise as the man of my dreams
    I guess I’ve got the worst case
    Of the bad boy curse

    Bridge:
    He’s makin’ me crazy but he doesn’t care
    The minute the phone rings
    I don’t wanna miss it I hope that he’s there

    He’s cold to the bone, ‘til he turns up the heat
    Then a bad boy…
    Has never been so good to me

    Outro:
    He’s no good!
    He’s no good
    I should just let him go
    I should just let him go

    But he feels so good!
    Feels so good….
    He knows just what to do to make me feel so good
    Oh, no, no, to make me feel…to make me feel so good!

    Yeah….

    Ammunition

    Written By Rehya Stevens & Eric Fraley

    You use to think I didn’t have what it takes
    Disrespecting me was your first mistake
    I’m underneath the radar, makin’ my way
    Now that you know what’s goin’ down
    It’s to late

    Chorus:
    I’m loaded up now
    Gonna stick to my guns
    There’s nowhere to hide
    Nowhere to run
    We’re gonna throw down
    Tear it up til it’s done
    It’s too late to back out
    Fire up the ammunition!

    It’s obvious the way you do a double take
    You regret that it was me you underestimated
    You can see it in my eyes
    You’ll be going down in a blaze

    Chorus:
    I’m loaded up now
    Gonna stick to my guns
    There’s nowhere to hide
    Nowhere to run
    We’re gonna throw down
    Tear it up til it’s done
    It’s too late to back out
    Fire up the ammunition!

    Who…
    Who…
    Who… It’s judgment day
    Who… It’s judgment day

    Chorus:
    I’m loaded up now
    Gonna stick to my guns
    There’s nowhere to hide
    Nowhere to run
    We’re gonna throw down
    Tear it up til it’s done
    It’s too late to back out
    Fire up the ammunition…
    Fire up the ammunition…
    Fire up the ammunition!

    My Fairytale

    Written By: Rehya Stevens

    I could be Cinderella
    Behind her bedroom door
    Staring out the window lost in dreams
    Those sweet fortune-tellers painting the scene
    As I count down the days
    ‘Til I’m free to breakaway

    Chorus:
    I take my six string
    From the second hand
    Across country
    In a caravan
    Underneath the lights
    I play my latest cut
    In a new venue every night
    I pack it up
    And deliver my goods to the world like the U.S. mail
    That’s my fairytale

    I want to drink my coffee
    In some city café
    And chat it up with someone whose face I’ve never seen
    Have an authentic exchange of send and receive
    Because I’m finally free to be the girl
    I really am

    Chorus:
    With my six string
    From the second hand
    Goin’ across country
    In a caravan
    Underneath the lights
    Playin’ my latest cut
    In a new venue every night
    I’ll pack it up
    It’s time to leave the small town behind
    That’s been my wishing well
    And live out my fairytale

    Bridge:
    Every night I say a prayer
    On my knees, beside my bed
    That he’ll provide a net below
    Even heaven knows
    I’m scared half to death
    But I’m ready to go

    Chorus:
    Take my six string
    From the second hand
    Across country
    In a caravan
    Underneath the lights
    I’ll play my latest cut
    A new venue every night
    I know I’ll pack it up
    Time to leave this small town behind
    I’m ready to bail
    And realize my fairytale

    Wish me well…
    I’m gonna write my fairytale…
    Wish me well…
    I’m gonna find my fairytale

    Fools Who Say Goodbye

    Music and Lyrics by Rehya Stevens

    Summer turns to Autumn
    Autumn turns to Winter
    Winter turns to Spring

    And changes everything
    Well, I never stopped to wonder
    Even in rollin’ thunder
    In blue skies or gray
    If we’d make it through the terrain
    I was chasin’ rainbows
    That led right down the drain

    Chorus:
    Sure as rain pours and drowns the catcher in the rye
    Sure as fire grows and burns to dust
    Sure as thunder rolls and lightning cracks the sky
    The elements got a hold on you and I
    And turned lovers into fools who say goodbye

    I’m just a simple dreamer
    I didn’t need to be no famous singer
    I just wanted to share his name
    Watch him racin’ cars and stand on the sidelines and wave
    But my somewhere over the rainbow
    Led to singin’ of heartache up on the stage

    Chorus:
    Sure as rain pours and drowns the catcher in the rye
    Sure as fire grows and burns to dust
    Sure as thunder rolls and lightning cracks the sky
    The elements came home to you and I
    Sure as rain pours and drowns the catcher in the rye
    Sure as fire grows and burns to dust
    Sure as thunder rolls and lightnin’ cracks the sky
    The elements got a hold on you and I
    And turned lovers into fools who say goodbye

    Reap What You Sow

    Written By Rehya Stevens & Glenn Halldorson

    I woke up to the sound
    Of the radio blastin’
    Stumbled out of bed
    In my usual fashion
    Cursin’ at the hour
    Cuz I’m still half dead

    Drivin’ in my car
    I got the finger on the freeway
    Showed up at my job
    With coffee on my new dress
    I should’ve called and faked it
    And stayed home instead

    Chorus:
    They say “You Reap What You Sow”
    Well, I’m thinkin’ I should’ve been
    A million-heiress a long time ago
    I’m tired of payin’ the fine at the toll
    It’s drainin’ my soul
    Hey, yeah

    Jenny was renowned
    For her feminist passions
    Rooted to the ground
    In political actions
    For being’ such a brave girl
    She was shot down dead

    And Johnny say’s,
    “Marie, if you want to be a star,
    Come on over here,
    Show me what you got…
    You’ve surely got the touch
    That’s gonna take you far”

    Chorus:
    They say “You Reap What You Sow”
    Awe, but from where I stand,
    I’m thinkin’ “Man, what a long way to go”
    I’m tired of payin’ the rich while I’m poor
    And I can’t do it no more
    No

    Bridge:
    A change in the weather
    Just might change my tone
    And colour the leaves on this road
    I can’t depend on the world
    So I won’t
    I just need some hope yeah

    Chorus:
    They say “You Reap What You Sow”
    Well, I’m thinkin’ I should’ve been
    A million-heiress a long time ago
    I’m tired of payin’ the fine at the toll
    It’s drainin’ my soul
    Oh, whoa

    Gift Of Life

    Written By Rehya Stevens

    She wasn’t cryin’
    Just beautiful, wide eyed and tender
    She’d always remember

    Just like summertime 1975
    Sweet romance in the ’66 Chevy he’d drive
    Her crazy

    The child grew up
    The talk of the town
    Heard the whispers goin’ around
    But she’d smile and try not listen

    And she held her own with kids from school
    Little queen on her throne
    Everything was cool
    Cuz she believed in some crazy reason

    Cuz life, it ain’t always cut and dry
    Not everybody walks the same straight line

    Chorus:
    In her worn out shoes and her ragged dress
    She’s gonna find her way, rise above the rest
    Cuz she was given the gift of life
    The gift of love
    For every unkind word, disapproving glance
    There comes a lesson learned, no-one’s left to chance
    Cuz we’re all given the gift of life
    The gift of love

    Mmmm, and all the white folks say
    That side of town is just nature’s way
    And we protect our currency no matter what it takes

    Well, go on ignore the red flag held up high (and it takes awhile)
    And go about your business while the un-rest lies (in single file)
    And you’ll find the ones on their knees will have you down on yours
    (And the change is mild, til the rage runs wild)

    Cuz life, doesn’t mean to just survive
    And time has a way of changing minds

    Chorus:
    In every dirty street there’s a war at hand
    Cuz every heart that beats surely understands
    That we were all given the gift of life
    The gift of love
    For every unkind word, disapproving glance
    There comes a lesson learned, no-one’s left to chance
    Cuz we’re all given the gift of life
    And we must love

    Alright!
    We’ve got to make it right…
    Love one another
    And be good to each other

    I Love You

    Written By Rehya Stevens

    I’ll lay my cards on the table
    You make it hard to hold them close to my chest
    I really don’t care about winning free cable
    I only want you I confess

    I’ve waited so long on the dice now
    Never quite sure about my next move
    But I’m wise and I make good decisions
    And that good decision is you, yeah

    (I only want you)

    Chorus:
    Oh, ah, oooh

    And darlin’ I don’t ever have to pretend
    You’ve taught me love without pride

    Low Grade Depression

    Written By Rehya Stevens

    It dawned on Jimmy this morning
    That Lisa has been sleepin’ in too late
    And she can’t concentrate
    On the smallest task that you ask her to do
    Lisa’s overwhelmed though she tries to come through
    Just for Jimmy
    Cause loves Jimmy

    Chorus:
    She’s got a daily low-grade depression
    Unconditional love without affection
    A dream come true is just hard work to do
    With a stranger at night
    Sleepin’ beside of you

    And Jaci Lynn from the valley
    A little pageant princess and fame is right up her alley
    Jaci’s mother says, “wait and see…”
    And the crowds at the fair smile and they stare at the child
    With the phony extensions in her hair
    Jaci’s mother say, “You’re beauty is mild”
    So Jaci’s got

    Chorus: A daily low-grade depression
    Unconditional love without affection
    A dream come true is just hard work to do
    With a stranger who shines
    Walkin’ beside of you

    Bridge:
    And some days are better than others
    Like when the bed gets made while you’re under the covers
    It looks more real
    It’s the way that you feel inside

    Chorus:
    With your daily low grade depression
    Unconditional love without affection
    A dream come true is just hard work to do
    With a stranger at night
    Sleepin’ beside you

    Outro:
    Your daily “low”
    You just don’t know
    Why a dream come true
    Is all that’s left of you
    Your daily “low”
    You just don’t know
    Why a dream come true
    Is all that’s left of you

    Good Love

    Written By Rehya Stevens

    Well, maybe I’m bittersweet about love
    Heartache ain’t never been too much fun
    Forgive me if I’m cynical when you’re gone
    I just can’t flaunt what I want

    Well, maybe I’m a little unprepared
    It seems to you a little bit unfair
    Coming off as if I just care
    But I’m aware

    Chorus:
    That every time
    You lift me up
    You won’t let me fall
    You won’t let me jump
    When I try to fight
    You don’t push or shove
    And if I’m wrong
    Or I’m right
    You give me love
    Oh, I know you give good love

    Passion’s like a savior in the dark
    Burnin’ up a fire in your heart
    But chiseled from a flame into a spark
    Another scar, and there you are

    But lovin’ and compassion are hands down
    The sweetest combination ever found
    It don’t matter when you’re up or when you’re down
    It’s around

    Chorus:
    And every time
    It lifts you up
    It won’t let you fall
    It won’t let you jump
    It’s too strong to fight
    You just can’t get enough
    And when you wake
    To the light
    You know you’re loved
    Oh, so you give good love

    Bridge:
    Love has thrown me down on my knees
    For lovers who’ve lied shamelessly
    I stand my ground, but baby you’re still around
    Giving your heart to me

    Well, honesty is such a painful find
    It seems somebody’s always messin’ with your mind
    Naïveté to trust can lead you blind
    To the self serving kind

    But everything about you rings so true
    You show me in the little things that you do
    So darlin’, if I put my faith in you
    I can’t lose

    Chorus:
    Cuz, every time
    You lift me up
    You won’t let me fall
    You won’t let me jump
    When I try to fight
    You don’t push or shove
    And if I’m wrong
    Or I’m right
    You give me love

    Outro:
    You never put me under pressure
    But I’ve got a serious confession now, for you
    I don’t need my protection
    I’m layin’ all of my defenses down, for you

    Dance My Way Back

    Written By: Rehya Stevens

    Friday through Sunday
    My machine picks up the phone
    Says, “There’s nobody home”
    I’ve got the volume at 20
    With my favorite record on
    Singin’ “Now that you’re gone”

    9 a.m. til 5 p.m.
    They’re all so impressed
    I look so undepressed
    And I’m showin’ off my vacation plans
    Like it don’t have down
    That you’re not around

    Chorus:
    I’m alright
    And I’m doin’ fine
    Danielle Steele is keeping it all in line
    I’ll dance my feet
    To “I Will Survive”
    And I’ll dance my way
    Back into life

    My best friend Anna Lee, She’s a riot
    Makes me laugh so hard
    Til she’s got me cryin’
    But Anna Lee
    Is so in love with her man
    And lately she doesn’t understand
    So I say,

    Chorus:
    “I’m alright
    And I’m doin’ fine
    Danielle Steele is keeping it all in line
    I’ll dance my feet
    To “I Will Survive”
    And I’ll dance my way
    Back into life”…

    Bridge:
    I count myself lucky
    Cuz I’m back in control, yeah
    But no one’s gonna rush me
    I’m gonna heal up nice and slow, yeah

    And I’m alright
    Yeah, I’m doin’ fine
    Danielle Steele is keeping it all in line
    I’ll dance my feet

    And I’ll dance my way
    Back into life
    I’m alright

    I’m alright
    I’ll dance my way back into life…
    Into life…
    I’ll dance my way…

    I Learned A lot (From Loving You)

    Written By Rehya Stevens

    I’ve seen the perfect lie
    In the light
    Yet I’ll settle down tonight by your side

    I’ve spun a million lies
    Into gold
    The truth caught me by surprise
    It’s hard to see when it unfolds

    Some would say
    There’s a beauty
    That every woman earns
    Well it’s in my heart
    Now it’s in my eyes
    And even though it burns

    Chorus:
    I learned a lot from loving you baby
    I studied hard and strong
    I’ve got the information I need
    Now I’ve waited much too long

    You played the perfect part
    You played right into my heart
    It’s the same old story
    But the story teaches every fool

    And I was your fool
    Well, heartache and lies
    Tend to victimize
    Guess I’m a casualty of yours
    But you grew me up
    And you grew me wise
    Now I’m stronger than before

    Chorus:
    I learned a lot from loving you baby
    I studied hard and strong
    I’ve got the information I need
    Now I’ve waited much too long
    Yeah, I learned a lot from loving you baby
    I studied hard and strong
    I’ve got the information I need
    Now I’ve waited much too long

    Bridge:
    Ain’t got my heart on my sleeve
    But I do still believe
    Love is beautiful
    I’ll put the pain in the past
    Find a love
    That will last
    One that’s beautiful
    One that’s beautiful

    Kitty, Honey

    Written By Rehya Stevens

    Kitty, honey why you gotta try so hard?
    You’re beatin’ up your headphones baby
    And your batteries are almost gone
    Mama says those lyrics gone straight to your head
    And in the mean time you look like the walking dead

    Kitty, honey why you gotta go so far?
    You’re jumpin’ into red zones lately
    And you’re acting pretty nonchalant
    I overheard you saying Billy’s gonna make you a woman
    But trust me Kitty, honey Billy ain’t ready for one

    Chorus:
    Hey, You’re a little bit wild
    Labeled “difficult child”
    Hey, “nobodies favorite”
    Is all they can make of it
    Hey, yeah… “Kitty’s going’ down hill,
    Gonna do what she will
    Hey, yeah, the kid is so troubled”

    Kitty honey, what you gonna do with your life?
    They’re screamin’ in your eardrums lately
    And it’s hard enough to fear it inside
    You’re the center of attention Kitty, every night
    But you’re cryin’ in your pillow when you turn out the light

    Chorus:
    Hey, You’re a little bit wild
    Labeled “difficult child”
    Hey, “nobodies favorite”
    Is all they can make of it
    Hey, yeah… “Kitty’s going’ down hill,
    Gonna do what she will
    Hey, yeah, the kid is so troubled”

    Chorus:
    Hey, You’re a little bit wild
    Labeled “difficult child”
    Hey, “nobodies favorite”
    Is all they can make of it
    Hey, yeah… “Kitty’s going’ down hill,
    Watch her do what she will’
    They say, now they say “that kitty’s so troubled”

    Circles

    Written By Rehya Stevens

    I’ve been runnin’ circles around you
    You’ve been runnin’ circles around me too
    Well maybe I lack the tendency
    To make love with such co-dependency
    Yet, I’ve been runnin’ circles around you

    Cheap cocktails and the women that you knew
    Did they ride your coat tails like the way you think I do?
    Well baby, you’re such a big success
    But I’m tired of this stupid skin-tight dress
    And I’m tired of runnin’ circles around you

    Bridge:
    Well, baby I’m so tired of all these needs
    I’m tired of using you, using me
    Honestly
    Let’s be honest here

    I’ve been runnin’ circles around you
    And you’ve been runnin’ circles around me too
    Well baby you know you’re such high class
    In Armani suits, and glam-girl trash
    Cause they’re always runnin’ circles around you

    Bridge:
    Well, baby I’m so tired and so hungry
    Yet the life that I desire feels out of reach
    With this routine
    Of circling

    It’s becoming clear to me
    My own integrity is gonna save me
    It’s gonna save me
    And I’m so tired
    From these same fires
    I’m gonna save me
    From this sad life

    I Wish You Well

    Written By Rehya Stevens

    I’ve been afraid of this moment all my life
    I always prayed it would never come ‘round
    But we’re standing face to face
    And we both know we won’t embrace
    And oh, only God knows why

    Chorus:
    But I wish you well
    Down whatever road you try
    I wish you well
    Though I won’t be in your life

    You were my knight in shining armor
    You chased my fears into the light
    And I’d be your princess too
    But some things life just puts us through
    And makes us change our minds
    Why?

    Chorus:
    But I wish you well
    Down whatever road you try
    I wish you well
    Though I don’t want to say goodbye
    I wish you well
    Down whatever road you try
    I wish you well
    Though I won’t be in your life

    No….

    In another time
    In another place
    You’ll know what’s inside
    When you see my face

    But I wish you well
    Down whatever road you try
    I wish you well
    Though I don’t want to say goodbye
    I wish you well
    Down whatever road you try
    I wish you well
    Though I won’t be in your life

    You Still Have Me

    Written By Rehya Stevens

    My best friend say’s “It’s over”
    Says she’s tired of bein’ brave
    She packed all her things
    Chalks it up to some lame cliché
    When she tells me
    “People change…”

    Chorus:
    Well hey,
    I’ll throw you a line
    And I’ll reel you in
    Tell you everything’s fine
    Cause nobody did
    And if the tide gets rough
    And you feel lost at sea
    When you don’t have enough
    You still have me

    I realized a little too late
    You pay for the choices you make in life
    So spare me your lines
    And your lectures
    Cause I’ll grow wise if I don’t
    Fall apart

    Chorus:
    But hey,
    Could you throw me a line?
    Cause I’m too weak to swim
    Tell me everything’s fine
    Cause nobody did
    Well, I’ve been down before
    But I’ve reached this rock
    And all I know
    Is you’re all I’ve got

    Chorus:
    Well hey,
    I’ll throw you a line
    And I’ll reel you in
    Tell you everything’s fine
    Cause nobody did
    And if the tide gets rough
    And you feel lost at sea
    When you don’t have enough
    You still have me…

    Oh, you still have me,
    Yeah, yeah, yeah…
    You still have me
