1.Baby I'm Burning

You look at me that way
I know what your eyes say
Your eyes reflect love and desire
I see that you need me
I need you to please me
You touch me and set me on fire
It's the way that you love me
The way that you touch me
The way that you whisper my name
I cannot resist you
Each time i kiss you
Then everything goes up in flames
Chorus:

Baby i'm burning out of control
Baby i'm burning body and soul
Hot as a pistol of flaming desire
Baby i'm burning
You got me on fire

I'm on fire

This red hot emotion
Puts fireworks in motion
It looks like the fourth of july
There's no use in fighting
The fire you've ignited
Just stand back and watch the sparks fly

Repeat chorus

Baby i'm burning
Baby i'm burning
Baby i'm burning
Baby i'm burning

Repeat chorus

Fade:

Repeat chorus twice


2.But You Know I Love You

When the mornin' sun
Streaks across my room
And i'm wakin' up
From another dream of you
Yes, you know i'm on the road
Once again it seems
All that's left behind
Is a chain of broken dreams
But you know that i love you
You know that i love you
Oh, i love you
And how i wish that love
Was all we'd need to live
What a life we'd have
'cause i've got so much to give
But ya' know i feel so sad
Down inside my heart
That the dollar sign
Should be keepin' us apart
But you know that i love you
You know that i love you
Oh, how i love you
And if only i could find my way back to the time
When the problems of this life
Had not yet crossed my mind
And the answers could be found in children's nursery rhymes
I'd come runnin' back to you
I'd come runnin' back to you
Mmmmm

But you know we can't
Live on dreams alone
Got to pay the rent
So i must leave you all alone
'cause you know i made my choice many years ago
And now this travelin' life
Well, it's the only life i know
But you know that i love you
You know that i love you
Oh, i love you
But you know that i love you
You know that i love you
Oh, how i love you
But you know that i love you
You know that i love you
Oh, how i love you

Fade:

But you know i love you
But you know i love you
Oh, i love you
But you know that i love you
But you know that i love you
Oh, how i love you
But you know that i love you
But you know that i love you
Oh, how i love you


3.God Won't Get You

Sometimes in my sleep i hold you close against my skin
Wakin?up i wish that i could sleep and dream again
ause only in my dreams can i know how it might have been
But cheaters never win, their heartaches never end
But sometimes i get crazy as lovers often do
Trying to please him and wondering if she pleasin?you
Though they have ever right to any part of us they choose
I still live just for you and our secret rendezvous

Chorus:

Torn between two lovers on the jukebox
I thinkin?how i could have wrote that song
Wonderin?if god loves us when we e cheatin?
Oh, but why he lets us feel things if it wrong
And i guess i should be gingin?'rock of ages'
'amazing grace' and some of those good songs
But my cheatin?heart will tell on me tomorrow
If you think that god won get you, well you e wrong

Thou shalt not commit, it written in the ten
The spirit always willin? but the flesh is weak again
And you e as close to heaven as i might ever fly
And angel in disguise
A wrong that feels so right

Chorus:

Torn between two lovers just keeps playing
I don want to be right if lovin?you is wrong
I wonderin?if god loves us when we e cheatin?
Oh, but why we have to feel things if it so wrong
I guess i should be singin?'rock of ages'
'amazing grace' and some of those good songs
But my cheatin?heart will tell on me tomorrow
If you think that god won get you, well you e wrong

My cheatin?heart will tell on me tomorrow
If you think that god won get you, well you e wrong


4.It's All Wrong, But It's All Right

Hello, are you free tonight
I like your looks, i love your smile
Could i use you for a while
It's all wrong, but it's all right
The amber sunset glow has died
My needs are very much alive
Is it ok if i stop by
It's all wrong, but it's all right
1st chorus:

It's all wrong, but it's all right
Just close your eyes and hold me tight
Tell me sexy lovin' lines
It's all wrong, but it's all right

It may be wrong if we make love
But i just need someone so much
And who knows it might last for life
It's all wrong, but it's all right

Repeat 1st chorus

2nd chorus:

It's all wrong, but it's all right
Just close your eyes and fantasize
Tell me sexy lovin' lines
It's all wrong, but it's all right

5.Old Flames Can't Hold A Candle To You

Downtown tonight, i saw an old friend, someone who
I use to take comfort from long before i met you
I caught a spark from his eyes of forgotten desire
With a word, or a touch, i could have rekindled that fire
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love
I've known one or two
But old flames can't hold a candle to you

Sometimes at night, i think of old lovers i've known
I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone
Then i feel you beside me and even their memories are gone
Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn

Old flames can't hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love
I've known one or two
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
Mmmm...


6.Potential New Boyfriend

Got my eye on a boy
He's eyeing me back
It's looking real good
This could be it
And i know that all of you girls
Would love to steal him away
He bought me a drink
I thanked him real sweet
It's always so nice when you first meet
And i know that all of you women would love to steal him away
So i'm warning you

Chorus:

Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
Building up an appetite
You can look but you can't buy
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend

Pretty as a picture
Comin' on so strong
He's twisting my ignition key
Turn my motor on
But anyone can see, all his attention's on me
Give us some privacy

2nd chorus:

Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
Better keep your hands off my
It's a welcome turn to try
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend

Leave us alone tonight
Then if it don't work out right
He's all your's
Until then

3rd chorus:

Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend
They keep crowdin' in on me
He smiles rather unsuspiciously
Better keep your hands off my potential new boyfriend

Fade:

Repeat 1st chorus


7.Single Women

Single bars and single women
With a single thought in mind
Just to make it till the morning
Looking for what they can find
For a man they won't remember
For a night they can't forget
Do you come to this place often?
May i light your cigarette?
Drinkin' beer in amarillo
Passing time and swaping jokes
Hoping for a new beginning
But beginning to lose hope
And you're waiting for that moment
When a glance becomes a stare
Mmm, what's that perfume that you're wearing?
Haven't i met you somewhere?

Find a matchbook in the morning
With a name and number scrawled
When you phone, a woman answers
And you wish you'd never called
Oh, they're friendly when they meet you
But they're strangers when they go
Ahh, do you mind if i come join you?
Would you like to dance one more?

And it's gettin' near to closing
And the seconds pass like years
Lots of friends to share the laughter
Not a one to share the tears

Oh and you wish they'd change that juke box
Cause you know every song it plays
Can i drop you off at my place?
Oh, what's the matter, are you gay?
You gotta twenty in your pocket
Got your toothbrush in your purse
Life could get a whole lot better
But it better not get worse

Single bars and single women
With a single thought in mind
Just to make it till the morning
Looking for what they can find


8.Starting Over Again

Momma moved out
Daddy sold the house
They split up the money
And went on their way
And all the king's horses
And all the king's men
Couldn't put mommy and daddy back together again
Chorus:

Starting over again
Where should they begin
'cause they've never been out on their own
Starting over again
Where do you begin
When your dreams are all shattered
And the kids are all grown
And the whole world cries

Got an apartment
She moved in with her sisters
He's scheming big deals with one of his friends
While she sits at home
Just sorting out pieces
Of left over memories
From thirty odd years

2nd chorus:

Starting over again
Where do you begin
You've never been out on your own
Starting over again
Never any end

What will the neighbors say?
They're talking talk, its small town news
Facing fifty years old
Making up a happy home
And this far down the road
You find yourself alone
Two fools

3rd chorus:

Starting over again
Now where do you begin
When you've never been out on your own
Starting over again
Never any end
When your dreams are all shattered
And the kids are all grown
And all the king's horses
And all the king's men
Could never put mommy and daddy back together
Back together, again


9.The House Of The Rising Sun

There is a house down in new orleans
Down in the vieux carr'e
A house they call the rising sun
Where love and money are made
My father he was a gambler
Mother died when i was young
And i've worked since then
To please the men
At the house of the rising sun

There is a house
Down in new orleans
They call the rising sun
It's been the ruin of many a good girl
And oh god, you know i'm one

So mothers you go telling all your daughters
Not to do what i've done
To live a life of sin, shame and strife
In the house of the rising sun

There is a house in new orleans
They call the rising sun
It's been the ruin of many a good girl
And oh god, you know i'm one
Oh god, you know i'm one


10.Working Girl

Some men find her sexy, some men disagree
But if she's not, it's not because she doesn't want to be
She wears a push-up bra from freddericks, five inch high heel
shoes
Maybelline and rubinstein, and avon's best perfume
She's a working girl
Chorus:

She's a working girl, she is single and free
She's a mother and wife and she's proud to be
A working girl

Some find her to aggressive, she don't know how to stop
Cause she's the kind that don't look down until it's from the
top
She's elegant and stylish, french perfume and a fur
Designer clothes by halston and diane von furstenburg
And she's a working girl

Repeat chorus

She has taken her place among the tallest of trees
But she weeps like a willow when she's brought to her knees
Cause she's a working girl

You'll find her dressed according to standard uniform
Cause she must dress in comfort for the job she must perform
She has so many faces, she wears so many names
She goes so many places and she does so many things
Cause she's a working girl

Repeat chorus

Repeat chorus twice
