1.I Want To Be Somebody's Baby
Lyrics：Enoch Anderson
Music：Barry Manilow
I want to be somebody's baby
I don't want a child of my own
I was the one who was always strong
and I was always the one left alone
I was the one uderstanding
and letting the other go free
now I want to be somebody's baby
let somebody worry 'bout me
no,no,no more a shoulder to cry on
my shoulders are wet to the bone
no,no,no a more a friend to rely on
I'm lookin' for friends of my own
no more a kindly advisor
and no more a worshipping fan
I'm younger and weaker and wiser
with a brand new strategy planned
I wanna be somebody's baby
I don't want a child of my own
I was the one who was always strong
and I was always the one left alone
I was the one understanding
and lettin the other go free
right now I want to be somebodys baby
let somebody worry 'bout me
I want to be mothered
and fathered
and sistered
and brothered
its gonna be gruesome and grand
I swear I'll keep you worried
and sweatin'
and busy
and bothered
you'll run around wringing your hand
I'll call you at three in the mornin'
wailin' my woes to the sky
I'll slip out of sight without warnin
and return with a gleam in my eye
I wanna be somebody's baby
I don't want a child of my own
I was the one who was always strong
and I was aways the one left alone
I was the one understanding
and lettin' the other go free
right now
I wanna be somebody's baby
let somebody worry 'bout me
I wanna be somebody's baby
I wanna,I wanna,I wanna,I wanna yeaaaaaaaa
keep my bed warm
make me a home
I wanna be somebody's baby
give me some strolin
keep my life smoken
I wanna ,I wanna ,I wanna
I wanna be somebody's baby
(fade out)
2.Early Morning Strangers
Lyrics：Hal David
Music：Barry Manilow
Every mornin' many late night lovers
Wake up to become early mornin' strangers
Things always look different in the light of day
Every mornin' many late night lovers
Just silently stare, seein' all the changes
It's hard to make small talk
When there's nothin' to say
Early mornin' strangers
Lookin' at each other
That is all we are to one another
Early mornin' strangers
Who wake up to discover
It's just no good without love
To live without love is no life at all
Somewhere baby
There's got to be more
Somewhere baby there's a life worth livin'
Where nobody takes more than they are givin'
Where love is forever
Not just for a day
Early mornin' strangers
Lookin' at each other
That is all we are to one another
Early mornin' strangers
Who wake up to discover
It's just no good without love
To live without love is no life at all
Bye bye baby
I hope you find your love
And I hope I find mine
I hope you find your love
And I hope I find mine
3.Mandy
Written：Richard Kerr／Scott English
I remember all my life
raining down as cold as ice.
Shadows of a man,
a face through a window cryin' in the night,
the night goes into
Morning just another day;
happy people pass my way.
Looking in their eyes,
I see a memory I never realized how happy you made me.
Oh Mandy well,
you came and you gave without taking,
but I sent you away.
Oh, Mandy well,
kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
and I need you today.
Oh, Mandy!
I'm standing on the edge of time;
I've walked away when love was mine.
Caught up in a world of uphill climging,
the tears are in my mind and nothin' in rhyming.
Oh Mandy well,
you came and you gave without taking,
but I sent you away.
Oh, Mandy well,
kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
and I need you today.
Oh, Mandy!
Yesterday's a dream
I face the morning
Crying on a breeze
The pain is calling
Oh Mandy
Well, you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away oh, Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today Oh, Mandy
you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away oh, Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you
4.The Two Of Us
Lyrics：Marty Panzer
Music：Barry Manilow
Now, we're happy to sit, day after day
The two of us
Wasting away, making believe
There's a reason to stay together
Now, we're happy to sit, night after night
The two of us
Conviced that it's right, hiding the yawns
Somehow getting along together
Afraid we'd always be alone
We made a home that we could always share
Just to know that someone would be there
Even if we never learned to care
And now, it's almost enough, year after year
The two of us
Nothing to fear, nothing at all
But the rest of our lives together
5.Something's Coming Up
Lyrics：Barry Manilow
Music：Barry Manilow
Something's Coming Up
Did you ever feel somethin' in the air
And you block it out, but you know it's there
Did you ever find, things about to change
I can see the signs all along my way
And I can feel that
Something's comin' up
And I don't know what it is
Something's comin' up
And I don't know where it's gonna take me
But there's something dyin'
Something bein' born
I think I'm gonna leave, I gotta get away
Maybe try Mill Valley, maybe try L.A.
The people I thought I loved
Well, we don't think the same
There's fury in my blood
And I can't stand it one more day
And I can feel that
Something's comin' up
And I don't know what it is
Something's comin' up
And I don't know where it's gonna take me
But there's something dyin'
And something bein' born
Something's comin' up (comin' up)
Something's comin' up (comin' up)
Something's comin' up (really don't know what it is)
Something's comin' up (really don't know what it is)
Something's comin' up
And I don't know what it is
Something's comin' up
And I don't know where it's gonna take me

8.My Baby Loves Me
Written：Sylvia Moy／William Stevenson／Ivy Hunter
My Baby Loves Me
My baby loves me, oh yeah
And my baby needs me, oh yeah
No other girl can whisper sweet things in my ear
My sweetie pie has the only sweet voice I hear so clear
Sayin' that she needs me
(You know she really, really needs me)
Oh yeah, yeah (Oh yeah)
My baby loves me
(You know she really, really loves me)
Oh yeah, yeah (Oh yeah)
I can't seem to see no other beautiful face, oh no
There's just no cute substitute can take my baby's place
'Cause I know she needs me
(You know she really, really needs me)
Woh, woh, yeah, yeah (Oh yeah)
Now I will never, ever give my baby no trouble
Whenever she calls me I come runnin' on the turbo
'Cause I know she needs me
(You know she really, really needs me)
Oh yeah, yeah (Oh yeah)
My baby needs me
(You know she really, really needs me)
Oh yeah, yeah (Oh yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now nobody can't tell me the place that I'm going wrong, oh no
Nobody could ever embrace the love so strong, so strong
'Cause I know she needs me
(You know she really, really needs me)
She told me that she needs me (oh yeah)
My baby loves me
(You know she really, really loves me)
Oh yeah, yeah (Oh yeah, yeah)
My baby loves me
9.Sandra
Lyrics：Enoch Anderson
Music：Barry Manilow
She's a great little housewife
Though sometimes she talks like a fool
But she helps at the store in the holiday rush
And she picks up the kids after school
And she puts down the phone when her husband comes home
And she changes from mother to wife
'Til she feels the words hanging between them
And she hangs by her words to her life
She says I swear I love my husband, I love my kids
I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh there might have been time to be me
For myself, for myself
There's so many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missin'
And that's how she knows that she missed
She's a sweetheart, except when she's moody
It's hard to get through to her then
Depressed for a while when the youngest was born
Oh but that happens now and again
She might take a drink with the housework
Or when Michael's kept late at the shop
A Martini or two before dinner
But she always knows when to stop
She says I swear I love my husband and I love my kids
You know I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh there might have been time to be me
For myself, for myself
There's so many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missin'
And that's how she knows that she missed
Oh they used to hold hands at the movies
Now it's seldom if ever they go
Once you've paid for the sitter and parkin' the car
There's no money left for the show
She was doing the dishes
When a glass fell and broke on the tile
And she cut her wrist (quite by mistake)
It was real touch and go for a while
She says Oh God I love my husband and I love my kids
You know I wanted to be like my, my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh there might have been time to be me
For myself, for myself
There's so many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missin'
And that's how she knows that she missed
10.Home Again
Lyrics：Marty Panzer
Music：Barry Manilow
always and always now
where there was just one
there'll be two
and you won't be alone again
I'm home again
over and over now
we'll make up for nights that we miss
and kiss like we once kissed again
I'm home again
close your eyes
I'll close mine
remember how much we once had
and babe I'm so glad
to be home again
love you- I love you now,now
there's no one but you in my life
and I won't let you go again
see I'm home again
close your eye's
I'll close mine
remember how much we once had
and babe, I'm so glad
to be home again
love you- I love you
oh more then anythink else in my life
and I won't let you go again
I'm home again
I'm home again
I'm home again
yes I'm home
11.MANDY
Artist：Barry Manilow
I REMEMBER ALL MY LIFE RAINING DOWN AS COLD AS ICE
SHADOWS OF A MAN, A FACE THROUGH A WINDOW
CRYING IN THE NIGHT, THE NIGHT GOES INTO MORNING
JUST ANOTHER DAY, HAPPY PEOPLE PASS MY WAY
LOOKING IN THEIR EYES, I SEE A MEMORY
I NEVER REALIZE HOW HAPPY YOU MADE ME
OH MANDY
WELL YOU CAME AND YOU GAVE WITHOUT TAKING
BUT I SENT YOU AWAY
OH MANDY
WELL YOU KISSED ME AND STOPPED ME FROM SHAKING
AND I NEED YOU TODAY
OH MANDY
I'M STANDING ON THE EDGE OF TIME
I'VE WALKED AWAY WHEN LOVE WAS MINE
CAUGHT UP IN A WORLD OF UPHILL CLIMBING
THE TEARS ARE IN MY MIND AND NOTHING IS RHYMING
OH MANDY
WELL YOU CAME AND YOU GAVE WITHOUT TAKING
BUT I SENT YOU AWAY
OH MANDY
WELL YOU KISSED ME AND STOPPED ME FROM SHAKING
AND I NEED YOU TODAY
OH MANDY
YESTERDAY'S A DREAM, I FACE THE MORNING
CRYING ON A BREEZE, THE PAIN IS CALLING
OH MANDY
WELL YOU CAME AND YOU GAVE WITHOUT TAKING
BUT I SENT YOU AWAY
OH MANDY
WELL YOU KISSED ME AND STOPPED ME FROM SHAKING
AND I NEED YOU TODAY
OH MANDY
YOU CAME AND YOU GAVE WITHOUT TAKING
BUT I SENT YOU AWAY
OH MANDY
YOU KISSED ME AND STOPPED ME FROM SHAKING
AND I NEED YOU
12.Halfway Over The Hill
I been working all my life
working hard for all my life
trying to find the reason fore living
tryin not to take to much with out giving
never saw no rainbows in my sky
but don't you see I'm halfway over the hill
I'm passing over the hardest part
I'm halfway over the hill
its got to get easier from now on
I've been running all my life
lord I've run for all my life
seeing joy and seeing people griveing
seeing towns that don't remember leaving
never saw no bluebirds in my sky
don't you see I'm halfway over the hill
I'm passing over the hardest part
I'm halfway over the hill
Its got to get easier from on now
I'm halfway over the hill
I'm passing over the hardest part
I'm halfway over the hill
It's got to get easier from on now
