do the math (rewrite three)


put you and me together
and add up the score
in clear and cloudy weather
it's something we've been searching for
I'm gonna rise to the occasion
I'm the answer to your equation
no matter what the situation
I'll always stand by you

          do the math
          we belong together
          like half-and-half
          ain't nothing better         
          I'm saying this for our own good
          for our own behalf
          do the math
          do the math
          do the math

put one and one together
and the sum you get is us
baby, I'm the inventor
of a love that you can truly trust
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
ain't nothing to be afraid of
no matter what you say, love
I'll always stand by you

          do the math
          we're the right decision
          baby, there's no path
          in long division
          one day we'll look back on this
          and we'll just have to laugh
          do the math
          do the math
          do the math

in spite of you (rewrite three)


every hour of honest work
every healing inside the hurt
every morning when I wake
every rough and ragged 
breath I take
everything I can
I'm going to
everything I am
everything I do
I'm making it though
in spite of you

every year of growing old
every journey of my soul
every time I've had to fight
to see between wrong and right
every ray of hope
coming out of the blues
everything I am
everything I do
and I'll do what I have to do
in spite of you

          you've wanted to harm me
          since I can remember
          but now you don't alarm me
          I don't have to surrender

every second
every minute
of a life with joy within it
I will fight to the end of my will
to make sure that your voice is stilled
everything I am
everything I do
every well-earned answer
from a forgotten clue
I know what is true
that's why I'm getting through
in spite of you

in spite of you (rewrite two)


every hour of honest work
every healing inside the hurt
every morning when I wake
every rough and ragged 
breath I take
everything I can
I'm going to
everything I am
everything I do
I'm making it though
in spite of you

every year of growing old
every journey of my soul
every time I've had to fight
to see between wrong and right
every ray of hope
coming out of the blues
everything I am
everything I do
and I'll do what I have to do
in spite of you

          you've wanted to harm me
          since I can remember
          but now you don't alarm me
          I don't have to surrender

every second
every minute
of a life with joy within it
I will fight to my last breath
till one of us meets its death
everything I am
everything I do
every well-earned answer
from a disappearing clue
I'm making it through
in spite of you

baby needs liquor


get in the car
put in the key
turn the engine on
it's out the door for me
I got me a job
that's easy to do
and it's fine with me
'cause it's fun for you

          I'll drive as fast
          as these roads will allow
          'cause baby needs liquor
          and she needs it right now

in spite of you (rewrite)


every hour of honest work
every healing inside the hurt
every morning when I wake
every single breath I take
everything I am
everything I do
everything I can
I'm going to
in spite of you

every year of growing old
all those searches of my soul
all the times I've had to fight
between wrong and right
everything I am
everything I do
every ray of hope
coming out of the blues
is in spite of you

          you have tried to harm me
          since I can remember
          but somehow I've learned
          I don't have to surrender

every second
every minute
of a life with joy within it
I will fight to my last breath
till one of us meets its death
everything I am
everything I do
every way
I make it though
is in spite of you
