2.Evil Ways

Lyrics:Clarence Henry
Music:Clarence Henry

You've got to change your evil ways... baby
Before I stop loving you.
You've go to change... baby
And every word that I say, it's true.
You've got me running and hiding
All over town.
You've got me sneaking and peeping
And running you down
This can't go on...
Lord knows you got to change... baby.

When I come home... baby
My house is dark and my pots are cold
You're hanging 'round... baby
With Jean and Joan and a who knows who
I'm getting tired of waiting and fooling around
I'll find somebody, who won't make me feel like a clown
This can't go on...
Lord knows you got to change

Organ Solo:

(Repeat 2nd verse)

Yeah ... Yeah ... Yeah ...

4.Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen

Lyrics:Peter Green
Music:Peter Green

Got a black magic woman
Got a black magic woman
I've got a black magic woman
Got me so blind I can't see
that she's a black magic woman
She's trying to make a devil out of me

Don't turn your back on me baby
Don't turn your back on me baby
Yes don't turn your back on me baby
Stop messing 'round with your tricks
Don't turn your back on me baby
You just might pick up my magic sticks

Got your spell on me baby
Got your spell on me baby
Yes you got your spell on me baby
Turning my heart into stone
I need you so bad, magic woman
I can't leave you alone

Love, Devotion Surrender

Listen,

14.Mirage

Mirage

I am just a mirage
Oh - I am just a mirage
when you look at me
thru your crystal glass you will see
that I am now your past
but you give your love to me
In your life I wasn't meant to be.
Oh I am just a mirage
Oh I am just a mirage
Just a mirage fading away like water

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am just a mirage
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am just a mirage
I am just a mirage
But until that day has come
When you say I'll be your only one
I will live the way it's meant for me
With ups and downs and mystery.

18.She's Not There

No one told me about her,
the way she lied.
Well, no one told me about her,
how many people cried.

But it's too late to say you're sorry.
How would I know, why should I care?
Please, don't bother tryin' to find her,
she's not there.

Ooh, nobody told me about her.
What could I do?
Well, no one told me about her
though they all knew.

But it's too late to say you're sorry.
How would I know, why should I care?
Please, don't bother tryin' to find her,
she's not there.

Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looks,
the way she acted, the color of her hair.
Her voice was soft and cool,
her eyes were clear and bright but she's not there.

But it's too late to say you're sorry.
How would I know, why should I care?
Please, don't bother tryin' to find her,

the way she acted, the color of her hair.

21.Stormy

You are the sunshine, baby, whenever you smile
But I call you Stormy today
All of a sudden that ol' rain is fallin' down
And my world is cloudy and gray
You've gone away

Old Stormy Stormy
Old Stormy Stormy
Old Stormy Stormy
Old Stormy Stormy

Yesterday's love was alive, the warm summer breeze
But like the weather you changed
Now things are dreary, baby, windy and cold
And I stand alone in the rain
Callin' out your name
Stormy Stormy
Stormy Stormy
Come back to me Stormy
Stormy Stormy

Bring back that sunny day

GUITAR SOLO

Yesterday's love was alive, the warm summer breeze
But like the weather you changed
Now things are dreary, baby, windy and cold
And I stand alone in the rain
Callin' out your name

Whoa! Stormy
Stormy, come back to me Stormy
Stormy, come back to me Stormy
Come on home! Stormy

Bring back that sunny day

22.Well All Right

Well, All Right
Petty, Alison, Holly, Mauldin

Well, all right so I'm being foolish
Well, all right let people know
About the dreams and wishes you wish
In the night when the lights are low

Well, all right, well all right
We'll live and love with all our might
Well, all right, well all right
Our lifetime love will be all right

Well, all right, so I'm going steady
It's all right when people say
That those foolish kids cant be ready
For the love that comes their way

Well, all right, well all right
We'll live and love with all our might
Well, all right, well all right
Our lifetime love will be all right
Repeat last verse


23.Open Invitation

You be you and let me be me
No strings attached emotionally
I wanna get a little crazy
That's puttin' it plain
You got the medicine
And I got the pain

When you just wanna feel good
Like the doctor said
One good dose of loving
It's gonna straighten out your head

(tag):
You got an open invitation
On that you can rely
You got a prepaid reservation
And that's the only way to fly

Let's make love, the feeling is right
Just passing by like ships in the night
Oughta get a little friendly
There's no time like now
You bring the attitude and I'll show you how

Anytime you're ready
Anytime at all
Just come on over
Don't even have to call

(tag)


24.Aquamarine


25.You Know That I Love You

Yesterday I was alone and Blue
My heart was heavy and then came you
Oh I can see that you were meant for me
Now I have found you, I'll never let you go

You know that I love you
I need you
You know that I'm caring, sharing
Everything I've got
Don't you know that I want you
I need you too
And I will be happy with you for the rest of my life

Many lovers they come and go
But your sweet loving lingers on and on
Oh I can feel, that this time it's for real
So hold me closer, and never let me go

You know that I love you
I need you
You know that I'm caring, sharing
Everything I've got
Don't you know that I want you
I need you too
And I will be happy with you for the rest of my life
And I will be happy with you for the rest of my life

Well your sweet love is all I need
Without you I just can't go on

You know that I love you
I need you
You know that I'm caring, sharing
Everything I've got
Don't you know that I want you
I need you too
And I will be happy with you for the rest of my life
I'll be happy with you for the rest of my life
I will be happy with you for the rest of my life


26.All I Ever Wanted

Written:Carlos Santana/Chris Solberg/Alex Ligertwood

Well I told you 'bout your attitude
And it didn't do me any good
'Cause you took your love away
Left me here alone with all this lonely heartache.

There are places I remember
Where the ladies still are tender
Against you they can't compare
Baby we've just got to get it back together.

All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you.

I just got to get it through to you
That my loving heart is ever true
Please come back to where you belong
Girl you got to know I'll never do you wrong.

All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you.
Yeah you.
Oh oh.

All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you.

Well I told you 'bout your attitude
And it didn't do me any good
'Cause you took your love away.

All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you
You!


27.Winning

Lyrics:Leo Ballard
Music:Leo Ballard

One day I was on the ground
When I needed a hand
And it couldn't be found
I was so far down
That I couldn't get up
You know and
One day I was one of life's losers
Even my friends were my ac-cus-ers
And in my head
Lost before I'd begun

I had a dream
But it turned to dust
What I thought was love
That must have been lust
I was living in style
When the walls fell in
When I played my hand
I looked like a joker
Turn around
Fate must have woke her
'Cause lady luck she was
Waiting outside the door

Chorus:

I'm winning
I'm winning
I'm winning
And I don't intend on losing again

Too bad it belonged to me
It was the wrong time
And I meant to be
It took a long time
And I knew for now
I can see the day
That I breath for
Friends agree there's a need
To play the game
And to win again

Chorus:
(repeat first line 5x's)
(repeat last line 4x's)

Repeat Verse II

Chorus:
(repeat first line 5x's)


28.Hold On

Lyrics:Ian Thomas
Music:Ian Thomas

Don't rush me just this once
I want to make this moment last
Slow down the pace, there's no hurry
I can't let another pass me by again
Let me be the one to say when I've had enough

Just let me close my eyes, memorize
The way things are this minute
So when you're gone I can go on
If memory can hold within it what I'm feeling
Should time try fading or stealing something away

CHORUS:
Hold on, nothing's the same
Tell me why I feel this way
Life wouldn't be worth living without you
All along I've been the pretender
But now that's gone forever
Nobody's ever loved me like you do
Nobody's broken through

Got to concentrate, file away
Every last detail
Don't want to lost what's going down
I want to remember everything I'm feeling
Should time try fading or stealing something away

CHORUS


29.Nowhere to Run

Lyrics:Russ Ballard
Music:Russ Ballard

Night ain't a friend
It's black and so still
It waits like a cat
Then moves in for the kill
It casts its shadows high on the wall
It's givin' me no peace at all
Now you're gone
The pain goes on
You're so deep into me
Now I'm begging you to
Set me free

CHORUS:
I've got nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
No way to stop
This hurt deep inside
That you gave to me
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to run

The sound of your voice
It comes in the night
It stays with me there
Until the light
When you say the words
That you said before

When you said you'd stay
You walked out the door
I can take the afternoon
But then comes the night
Instead I walk the floor
Till the light

CHORUS (TWICE)
