"SINNER'S BRIDE" by David Guilbault
Now, I know you’ve been signifying,
Been out there denying your love for me.
And ev’ry time you’ve been out there crying,
You’re lying ‘bout your feelings for me.
‘Cause you love me.
Everyone can see.
Baby, there’s no reason to hide.
‘Cause you know, that I know, you are mine.
I don’t know why you would want to deny
That your heart’s been stolen away.
Darling, it’s no sin to fall for a sinner.
Come fall in my arms, here to stay.
‘Cause you love me.
Everyone can see.
Baby, there’s no reason to hide.
Come here. Stay here. The sinner’s bride.
Now I may have done, some things in my life
That some people say ain’t so good.
But ev’ry thing that I’ve done in the past
Has brought me to this good place with you.
‘Cause you love me. Everyone can see.
Baby, we’ve got no reason to hide.
You love me. I love you. The sinner’s bride.
You love me. And I love you. The sinner’s bride.

"DON'T RING TRUE" by David Guilbault
On the day we took our wedding vows,
We promised we’d be true somehow,
That the rings we gave would see us through.
They don’t ring true. Don’t ring true.
Don’t ring true. Don’t ring true.
You told me you would never lie,
That you’d never need an alibi.
Then the time came when we both know,
You don’t ring true.
You lied. Why don’t you admit it?
You tried to color the truth.
I died when I heard you say it.
I cried ‘cause I knew we were through.
I believed every word you said,
All those false thoughts you put in my head.
Now I no longer believe in you.
You don’t ring true. Don’t ring true.
You don’t ring true. Don’t ring true.
You lied. Why don’t you admit it?
You tried to color the truth.
I died when I heard you say it.
I cried ‘cause I knew we were through.
Your stories came so easily.
All those tall tales meant to deceive.
The vows we took now all are through.
They don’t ring true. Don’t ring true.
They don’t ring true. Don’t ring true. Don’t ring true.

"WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU" by David & Brent Guilbault
My knees get weak and my mind can’t speak when I think about you. My tongue gets tied and I lose my stride when I think about you.
I get all mixed up when it come to love, don’t know what I should do, When I think about you. When I think about you.
I think about you even when my mind is somewhere else
Your face comes to me then, I just can’t stop myself.
I lose my wits, I go into fits, when I think about you.
I go ‘round and ‘round, lost and found, when I think about you.
I get all mixed up when it come to love, don’t know what I should do, When I think about you. When I think about you.
You’ve got me tossed and turned and twisted upside down.
I don’t know what to do whenever you’re around.
I get the shakes, don’t know what to say, when I think about you.
Think it’s time you knew what I gotta go through when I think about you.
I get all mixed up when it come to love, don’t know what I should do, When I think about you. When I think about you.
What happens to you love when you think of me?
Am I the only one to feel love’s misery?
My knees get weak and my mind can’t speak when I think about you. My tongue gets tied and I lose my stride when I think about you.
I get all mixed up when it come to love, don’t know what I should do. When I think about you. When I think about you.

You've Gone Wrong

"YOU'VE GONE WRONG" by David Guilbault
You said you’d say if you ever knew
If and when we were ever through.
And through it all I’d have to say
I never knew you’d go away.
You always said I’d be the first to know
If you ever felt the need to go.
But I didn’t know ‘til you were gone.
Now I’m not all right ‘cause you’ve gone wrong.
I never thought it would be this way.
Who’da thought it anyway?
I’d be here and you’d be gone.
Who’da thought you’d go so wrong?
Without a word you up and left.
You left me wond’rin’ why, I guess.
You broke your word to tell me why,
Why you’d ever say goodbye.

"NOTHIN' GOOD' by David Guilbault
She’s got street-smart savvy, sexy and smooth,
Blues like a sinister sister.
Sendin’ out the signals that she’s got to move.
Seekin’ some to make the boy miss her.
Ain’t nothin’ good about breakin’ up.
Nothin’ good when love dies.
Broken hearts and everyone’s lives in pieces.
She’s lookin’ for a reason to take to the night,
Hopin’ for a diff’rent direction.
Figurin’ on re-thinkin’ what’s wrong and what’s right,
Triggerin’ the girl’s satisfaction.
He’s got tear-stained letters, he reads them each day,
Memorizin’ all of his sorrows.
Thinkin’ and a-waitin’ and a-hopin’ some day
Somebody can still make his love grow.

He Shoulda Run

"HE SHOULDA RUN" by David Guilbault
He took the stairway. He shoulda took the door.
He chose the wrong way, and wound up on the floor.
Which way he’d wind up, he couldn’t know for sure.
Which way the ground was, was nowhere near the door.
He shoulda run. What has he done? He shoulda run.
I saw him stumble. I saw him take the fall.
‘Help me’, he mumbled.
No one would heed his call.
It was his destiny. It was his fate to know.
It wasn’t up to me, to show him where to go.
He shoulda run. What has he done? He shoulda run.
Run, run, like a rabbit, run,
Faster than you can.
You know what’s done is done,
So take it on the lam
He shoulda run. What has he done?
He shoulda run.
f you see the stairway, look out for the door.
If you see a clear way, it might not be for sure.
Just get a movin’, right toward that exit sign.
Don’t stop to look around, or else you’ll surely die.
You better run. What have you done. You better run.
Last night I dreamt of you, and Joe DiMaggio.
You were a princess thief. He was an average Joe.
He wore a crown of thorns. You wore a string of pearls
I watched you from afar, as you stole my world.
I shoulda run. What have I done? I shoulda run.
