lyrics

“What Gives”
Written by Kristie Stremel
Recorded and Performed by Kristie Stremel, Exit 159, The One59ers

Say I'm all right, everything is cool and okay
So turn out the light, Watch my world slowly slip away
With everything I try so hard, and this is what I get

So what gives? - Yeah What Gives
Oh I've been damned

Say I'm okay, but nothing ever seemed to go my way
So hold on tight, this is gonna be one hell of a ride
When everything’s in everyone and if it starts to come undone
I would never find my way to you
When everything is said and done, I could never be that strong
I would never be that cool to you
With everything I try so hard, and this is what I get

So what gives? - Yeah What Gives?
Oh what gives? - Yeah what gives?
Oh I've been damned

(solo)

So what gives? So what gives? So what gives? So what gives?
When everything’s in everyone and if it starts to come undone
I would never find my way to you
When everything is said and done, will I ever be that strong
I would never be that cool to you
With everything I try so hard, and this is what I get
With everything I try so hard, and this is what I get
So what gives? - Yeah What Gives?
Oh what gives? - Yeah what gives?
Oh I've been damned. Oh I've been damned
Oh I've been damned. Oh I’ve been...
