Hootie and the Blowfish - Hootie and the Blowfish Lyrics

Deeper Side 
I found a reason to dig deep down 
There's a part of you that that I ain't found 
It's in your deeper side 
Instead of wondering what I should do 
I tried to learn a couple of things about you 
From your deeper side 

Chorus: Show me your deeper side, show me your deeper side 
Show me your deeper side, show me your deeper side 
Show me your deeper side, It's a mystery 
I would give most anything to see 

There's a lot of things that I would know 
If you would let me climb into your soul....and see 
Your deeper side 
Everybody always seems so pure 
Then they show you what there heart stands for 
In their deeper side 

Chorus 

(Bridge) 

You think the world has got your number now 
You cry about it but you know somehow, it's your deeper side... 
I heard you wishin' you were someone else 
But all that's stopping you from being yourself is your deeper side 

Show me your deeper side, show me your deeper side 
Show me your deeper side, show me your deeper side 
Show me your deeper side, It's a mystery 
I would give most anything, and I would give most anything 
You would give most anything to see 

Little Brother
How you gonna say what you can and can't do 
Sittin' in the crib, parked infront of the tube, 
You're mad at the world, like she owe you 
What you think, opportunity's gonna come lookin' for you 
Not a damn thing changed 
You're just another football waiting to be tossed in the game 
Your flossing again, you talk a good game, 
But you're still trying hard to maintain 

Chorus: Little brother 
A ship can't sail without the water 
The world could be yours if you want her 
But you gotta be willing to go out and get it, 
When you get it, keep winning 

Everyday you're out slinging that thing 
No worries or cares of what your mama may say 
Tryin to get what you want in your life 
The cars, the clothes, the ho's, the ice 
Not a damn thing changed, 
You're still another football waiting to be tossed in the game 
You're flossing again 
You talk a good game 
But your still strugglin' hard to maintain 

Chorus 

Everything you want could be yours if you were just to try 
All the troubles that you feel will fade away 
like shooting stars across the sky 
All the dreams that I hope you feel 
Soon someday shall be fulfilled 
Time is moving rapidly 
Don't let it pass you by 

Chorus 

Back in the days our parents used to take care of us 
Look at 'em now 
They even look scared of us 

Chorus 

Innocence
What else can I do 
When the tears have all been wasted 
The only voice you choose to hear 
Sings the songs of our hearts breaking 

Now my dreams they all changed 
And your smiles they all have faded 
The thoughts that used to seem so pure 
In my heart they now feel jaded 

Cause I want to feel like I did 
And I want to feel innocence 

What else can there be 
Except this pride I'm sick of drinking 
The storm clouds have all gone away 
Can we stop this thing from sinking 

She said, I want to feel like I did 
And I want to feel innocence 

I want you to know and feel in your soul 
That someone has come and gone 

Stuck up here with you 
I never thought we'd get this high 
I used to be afraid of falling 
Now I'll spread my wings and I will fly 

I want to feel like I did 
And I want to feel innocence 
I want to feel like I did 
And I want to feel innocence 

Space
I see it inside your eyes, feel it in your soul 
A part of you is movin' on, the other half is gone 
I don't know what you want from me, you lock it all inside 
I try to give you everything but there's nothing else I can hide 

Chorus: We've been trying so long, you've been pushing to hard 
You should say what's wrong and echo what's right 
You need a little space and I need mine 

When you and I are all alone it feels so damn crowded 
The house we share is not a home when you're inside it 
So now I'll go and grab my things girl, I must be movin' on 
I couldn't stand to face you so I, I guess that's why I wrote this song 

I'll Come Running
It's been such a long time since I haven't seen your face 
There's a tear on your cheek where your smile used to be 
Cause I'm going away 
We've had such a good time though we knew this day might come 
So when you hold me tonight squeeze a little tighter 
Cause in the morning I'll be gone 
And I tell you baby now, I might be long 

Chorus: I'll come running, (I'll come running) 
I'll come running home, (I'll come) 
I'll come running home to you 
I'll come running, (I'll come running) 
I'll come running home, (I'll come) 
I'll come running home to you 

It's already five A.M., we haven't got much sleep just yet 
Sun is rising, I wish I could make time stand still 
I look in your eyes now love, and I don't know what to say 
The words, the words aren't coming to me 
I guess I find it just so hard to say goodbye 
And if you say you'll wait for me now 
I know you'll try 

Chorus 

Tears Fall Down
Now I see the time we had before 
Was just a passing moment that we can't share anymore 
And I've learned that written words are not the same 
As when you take the time to say it and let the clouds release the rain 

And I wish my dreams alone could bring back my old friend 
But yesterday is just something I can't mend 
And I've broke down for my lost brother, and I've died for mamma too 
Now my tears fall down for you, for you 

And I say one thing each day, before I lay me down 
I thank god for your sweet smile although you're not around 
And I can't overcome your memory in my mind 
It's a bridge I'll never cross until the end of time 

And I wish my dreams alone could bring back my old friend 
But yesterday is just something I can't mend 
Cause I've broke down for my lost father, and I've cried for sister too 
Now my tears fall down for you, for you 

The Rain Song (written by Susan Cowsill and Vicki Peterson)
I don't think about us much anymore 
And frankly the topic has become a bore 
And you don't come up much in my conversations 
And I don't think about you on vacation 

But when it rains 
That's when I remember 
I remember you 

I don't think about you when I'm sleeping 
It doesn't even cross my dreamlike mind 
And I don't think I see your face through the curtain 
Hell, I don't even miss you half the time 

Rain, rain, go away 
I'm doin' fine as long as you stay 
Locked up inside your cloud of grey 
Rain 

Show Me Your Heart
You always ask for flowers and candy 
Never knowing I was your chocolate rose 
You always tell me that you like what I'm wearing 
But you think I look better without any clothes 

Chorus: Get out of my head 
Show my your heart 
Get of my head 
Show me your heart 

You play a game of attack and surrender 
Always leaving me half the way there 
I've got something that you should remember 
Until you draw blood nobody cares 

Chorus 

Sometimes I'd swear you were from Venus 
If I didn't already know your type 
You'd rather tell my you're an angel, 
Then show me by floating gracefully by 


Chorus/Repeat 

When She's Gone
She has a light and a faith that won't die 
She has a heart of a lion and the will to survive 
She has a pretty young daughter back home 
Who'll soon start to cry when she's gone 
When's she gone, when she's gone 
When she's gone 

Now she, spends her days with a mission to live 
She loves to laugh, and will offer a hand to forgive 
And she has a man with two arms open wide 
Who will take her in when she's gone 
When's she gone, when she's gone 
When she's gone 

She fights through the pain and she smiles when she sleeps 
And dreams of the day when we'll all finally meet 
She often says that she lives in a world we'll never know 
She hopes we'll never know 

We sit together and talk about our faith 
We play a game were we'll sing all our troubles away 
Though she's glad to be with me 
She knows damn well that her next life awaits 
When she's gone, When she's gone 
When she's gone, When she's gone 
When she's gone, When she's gone 

Little Darlin'
Hello little darlin, can't see why you're cryin' 
Don't even know why you came by so soon 
And I know that you love me, remember that you left me 
Why were you so afraid of the truth 
Now no, no, - now no, no 

Hello, how you doing, hope I did not ruin 
Any plans you had to pull me through 
So sit down at my table, we'll talk about and label 
All the things you claim to be untrue 
Now no, no, - now no, no 

I see you driving out of town, I just hope some how you'll be alright again 
I see you driving out of town, I just hope some how we'll be alright again 

I told you right from the start 
That I don't want to play the part 
Of being the blame for a broken hearted fool 

And now that I don't see you much 
I wish that we had stayed in touch 
I don't know what I'd say or what you think I would do. 
Now no, no, - now no, no 
Now no, no, - now no, no 

I see you driving out of town, I just hope some how you'll be alright again 
I see you driving out of town, I just hope some how we'll be alright again 

Woody
Can you see me there when I'm standing alone 
How did you know I needed you here 
Can you feel the screams from the depth of my soul 
Is that what makes you appear 

See I often wonder in the presence of this all 
What we did to become this way 
And I'll never forget when you whispered to me 
Said, Don't worry it'll be okay 

Chorus: Sometimes the sun calls our names 
And sometimes we listen... 
Sometimes the devil's there 
But we just can't go with him. 

Can you hear me now, when I'm standing this close 
Can I tell you one of my fears 
See, I hope you live to sing when I die 
Cause if you're gone, I don't think I want to be here no more 

Chorus 

Go and Tell Him (Soup Song)
I don't care about your man's reputation 
I don't care what you say about him 
All I know is you're some kinda woman 
And it won't be tonight, but you're gonna give in. 

Go and give him his walking papers 
Tell him things that he never knew 
Don't you hear what your new man's saying 
Now you know what you've gotta do now 

Chorus: Go and tell him you can't see him again 
Go and tell him you can't see him again 
You can't say that you don't think about me 
Late at night lying in your bed 
Stirring the soup and you start to dreamin' 'bout 
The times we had and the times that I said now 

Chorus 

I don't care about your man's reputation 
I don't care what your man's gonna do 
You can tell that you're gonna come runnin' 
Baby, I can tell that your gonna come soon 

Chorus 

Go and tell him that you're gone 
Go and tell him that you're gone 
Go and tell him that you're gone 
Go and tell him that you're gone 
You can tell him, 
Let him know that you're coming home with me tonight 

All Right (Words and Music by Pete Masitti)
She's always remindin' me that things are gonna be all right 
Yeah she's always beside me 
She keeps remindin' me that everything will be all right 

I'm so confused, she's not amused, 'cause I do way too much thinkin' 
It's not supposed to be this hard 
So she calls me out, and there's no doubt, that I do way too much drinkin' 
I guess it's gotten me through this far 

And when my life gets crazy 
She can still amaze me 
Some times I think hell what's the use of goin' on 

But she's always remindin' me that things are gonna be all right 
Yeah she's always beside me 
She keeps remindin' me that everything will be all right 

When I heard the news, I just refused to believe that we were sinkin' 
I still can't believe they went that far 
So I start to shout, but I'm all cried out, still doin' way too much 
thinkin' 
I can't seem to scrape away those scars 

And when my life gets crazy 
She can still amaze me 
Some times I think hell what's the use of goin' on 

But she's always remindin' me that things are gonna be all right 
Yeah she's always beside me 
She keeps remindin' me that everything will be all right 

I think I finally see what she's been tellin me 
It's all inside of me, I guess I knew it all along 

And she's always remindin' me that things are gonna be all right 
Yeah she's always beside me 
She keeps remindin' me that it's all in me 

But she's always remindin' me that things are gonna be all right 
Yeah she's always beside me 
She keeps remindin' me that everything will be all right 
Yeah she keeps remindin' me that everything will be all right 
She keeps remindin' me that everything will be all right 
Yeah she keeps remindin' me that everything will be all right
