Angela Hacker Lyrics
Angela Hacker “You Don’t Even Know Who I Am”
She left the car in the driveway
She left the key in the door
She left the kids at her mamas
And the laundry piled up on the floor
She left her ring on the pillow
Right where it wouldnt be missed
She left a note in the kitchen
Next to the grocery list
It said, you dont even know who I am
You left me a long time ago
You dont even know who I am
So what do you care if I go
He left the ring on the pillow
He left the clothes on the floor
And he called her to say he was sorry
But he couldnt remember what for
So he said Ive been doing some thinking
Ive been thinking that maybe youre right
I go to work every morning
And I come home to you every night
And you dont even know who I am
You left me a long time ago
You dont even know who I am
So what do I care if you go
You dont even know who I am
So what do I care if you go

Angela Hacker and Zac Hacker “Hard to Handle”
(they really changed up the song!)
Zac:
Baby here I am,
I’m the man on the scene.
Yea, I can give you what you want,
But you gotta come home to me.
Angela:
I have got some good old lovin’,
And I got some more in store.
So, when I get through throwin it on you,
You gotta come back for more.
Zac:
Boys and things that come by the dozen,
That aint nothin but drugstore lovin’.
Both:
Hey little thing let me light your candle
cause mama Im sure hard to handle, now, yes I am.
Zac:
Action speaks louder than words
And I’m a man of great experience
I know youve got another man
But I can love you better than him
Angela:
Oh, Take my hand dont be afraid
Im gonna prove every word I say
Im advertising love for free
So come and place your ad with me
Zac:
Boys and things that come by the dozen
That aint nothin but drugstore lovin’,
Both:
Hey little thing let me light your candle
‘Cause mama Im sure hard to handle,
Yes I am, I’m hard to handle now.
Zac:
Baby here I am
I’m the man on your scene.
I can give you what you want,
But you gotta come home to me.
Angela:
I have got some good old lovin
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin it on you
You gotta come back for more
Zac:
Boys and things that come by the dozen
That aint nothin but drugstore lovin’,
Both:
Hey little thing let me light your candle
‘Cause mama Im sure hard to handle,
Yes I am,
Angela:
I’m hard, I’m hard to handle now.

Angela Hacker Lyrics
Angela Hacker “When Will I Be Loved?”
I’ve been cheated,
Been mistreated.
When will I be loved?
I’ve been pushed down,
I’ve been pushed ’round.
When will I be loved?
When I find a new man,
That I want for mine.
He always breaks my heart in two,
And it happens every time.
I’ve been made blue,
I’ve been lied to.
When will I be loved?
When I find a new man,
That I want for mine.
He always breaks my heart in two,
And it happens every time
Oh, I’ve been cheated,
Been mistreated.
When will I be loved?
When will I be loved?
Tell me, when will I be loved?

Angela Hacker Lyrics
Angela Hacker “I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool”
I remember wearin’ straight leg Levis
Flannel shirts Even when they weren’t in style.
I remember singin’ with Roy Rogers
at the movies when the West was really wild.
And I was listenin’ to the Opry
When all of my friends
were diggin’ Rock ‘n Roll and Rhythm & Blues
I was Country, when Country wasn’t cool.
I remember circlin’ the drive-in,
Pullin’ up and turnin’ down George Jones.
I remember when no one was lookin’
I was puttin’ peanuts in my Coke.
I took a lot of kiddin’
‘Cause I never did fit in
Now look at everybody,
tryin’ to be what I was then.
I was Country, when Country wasn’t cool
I was Country, when Country wasn’t cool.
I was Country, from my hat down to my boots.
I still act, and look the same,
What you see ain’t nothin’ new.
I was Country, when Country wasn’t cool.
They call us country bumpkins,
For stickin’ to our roots.
I’m just glad I’m in a country,
Where we’re all free to choose.
I was Country, when Country wasn’t cool.
I was Country when Country wasn’t cool .

Angela Hacker Lyrics
Angela Hacker “Total Loss”
I can come and go as I want to,
If I’m late, I don’t have to call you.
It sure feels good, to be my own boss.
I got back control of the TV,
And my life, now I can just be me
Losing you, ain’t a total loss.
Last night, I sifted through the ashes.
When the smoke cleared, I was stronger than I thought.
And I’ll love another day, just slightly damaged.
Losing you, ain’t a total loss.
More hot water, running out of my faucet.
A lot more room, in my closet.
It hurt for awhile, but I’m better off.
Oh yeah.
I don’t feel trapped, I don’t feel smothered.
I don’t have to deal with your meddling mother.
Losing you, ain’t a total loss.
Last night, I sifted through the ashes.
When the smoke cleared, I was stronger than I thought.
And I’ll love another day, just slightly damaged.
Losing you, ain’t a total loss.
Last night, I sifted through the ashes.
When the smoke cleared, I was stronger than I thought.
And I’ll love another day, just slightly damaged.
Oh, losing you, ain’t a total loss.
Oh, losing you, ain’t a total loss.

Angela Hacker Lyrics
Angela Hacker “Emotionless”
I never expected to be running into you.
It’s only been a few days, for me that’s just to soon.
‘Cause you looked right through me, like a stranger on the street,
Cold as ice, you walked on by, never skipped a beat.
Emotionless.
Tell me how you do it!
So effortless.
With no fuss, no mess, no tenderness.
No tears and no regrets.
Emotionless.
Maybe you could teach me, how to walk away.
And make it look so easy, to forget the love we made.
Show me how to turn it on, and how to turn it off.
Cut all the ties when you say goodbye, and simply move on.
Emotionless.
Tell me how you do it!
So effortless.
With no fuss, no mess, no tenderness.
No tears and no regrets.
Emotionless.
You sure got a way with dealing, with the pain.
Emotionless.
Tell me how you do it!
So effortless.
With no fuss, no mess, no tenderness.
No tears and no regrets.
Emotionless.
Emotionless.
Emotionless.
You’re so emotionless.

I finally heard a definitive answer on the job I have been waiting for. It is not the dream job, that one will take me eight weeks to find out about. It was this one.
I am just very happy because it sounds as if our benefits and compensation package are exactly what I was wanting at the start, and it will take very little extra time per week to accomplish.
I guess that is the glory of having a freelance writing job. The ability to write whenever, wherever you want. Now that I have the laptop, I go almost anywhere with it. In fact, we even plug it in the car and listen to music occasionally. LOL
Anyway, I’m really happy about the job and am looking forward to getting started. Apparently they have pushed the launch date back a few weeks, as originally it was May 1, 2007.
I cannot reveal too much about it yet, but once it goes live, you can bet I’ll let others know.
Oh, and my odd topic to write about? Couponing. Good thing, this frugal gal, knows a few things about it!
Of course, I should probably not admit, that at this point, I have two freelance clients I work for on a semi-regular basis. One that I only work for occasionally or when he needs copy for something. And then I have families.com, an International trade magazine that is only four times per year, and now this one. Could my plate be any fuller? Oh yeah, it can be – I still want this job! LOL
When will I ever get the last few chapters of my book written? I know it is there, I just have to find the time. Maybe after I finish this one last article…..

Angela Hacker Lyrics
Angela Hacker “I Can’t Make You Love Me”
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed.
Turn down these voices inside my head.
Lay down with me, tell me no lies.
Just hold me close, don’t patronize.
Don’t patronize me.
‘Cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
You can’t make your heart feel something it won’t
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power
But you won’t, no you won’t
‘Cause I can’t make you love me, if you don’t
I’ll close my eyes, then I won’t see
The love you don’t feel when you’re holding me.
Morning will come and I’ll do what’s right,
Just give me ’till then to give up this fight.
And I will give up this fight.
‘Cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t.
You can’t make your heart feel something it won’t.
Here in the dark, in these final hours,
I will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power.
But you won’t, no you won’t.
‘Cause I can’t make you love me, if you don’t

Angela Hacker Lyrics
Angela Hacker “Do Right Woman, Do Right Man”
Take me to heart, and I’ll always love you.
And nobody, can make me do wrong.
Take me for granted, leave me love un-shown.
Makes will power weak, and temptation strong.
A woman’s only human, you should understand,
She’s not just a plaything, she’s flesh and blood, just like a man.
If you wanna do right, all days woman,
Gotta be a do right, all nights, man.
Yeah, They say it’s a man’s world,
But you can’t prove that by me.
And as long as we’re together baby,
show some respect for me.
If you wanna do right, all days woman,
Gotta be a do right, all nights, man.
A woman’s only human, this you should understand,
She’s not just a plaything, she’s flesh and blood, just like a man.
If you wanna do right, all days woman,
Gotta be a do right, all nights, man.
Gotta be a do right, all night man.

Angela Hacker Lyrics
Angela Hacker – “You Got Me”
Oh I hate to see you in this shape
Nothing can knock you down, quite like a heartbreak
And if you let me I will take
All of your pain away
Let her go, what you don’t know
Is killing me, ’cause I wanna be
There for you, I’ve been there too
And I know it hurts, but for what it’s worth
You got me.
Come and let me whisper in your ear,
I will wash away all your tears.
And I wanna hold you for a thousand years,
I’m right here.
Let her go, what you don’t know
Is killing me, ’cause I wanna be
There for you, I’ve been there too
And I know it hurts, but for what it’s worth
You got me.
I’ll erase, and I’ll replace, every painful memory
In your arms, and in your heart, is where I wanna be.
Let her go, what you don’t know
Is killing me, ’cause I wanna be
There for you, I’ve been there too
And I know it hurts, but for what it’s worth
You got me.
