1.Can't Even Get The Blues No More

(thomas william damphier, rick carnes)

I walk into the kitchen
The silverware is gone
The furniture is missing
I guess you got it all uhuh
This is where it ought to hurt
Seems like every time you leave me
You try to think of something worse

Chorus:
I can't even get the blues no more
I try to worry like i did before
And nothing happens when i walk the floor
So what am i supposed to do
I toss and turn but then i fall asleep
I'm going under but it's not too deep
You want to hurt me but it's just no use
I can't even get the blues

Well this time ain't no different
The sun's up in the sky
Sitting on the back porch
Clouds are rolling by
Oh this is where it ought to rain
But it doesn't really matter
To me it's all about the same

Repeat chorus
(you try and hurt me)

Repeat chorus


2.I'm Not That Lonely Yet

(bill rice, mary sharon rice)

I don't mind to give you a slow dance or two
I'm sorry i'm not at my best
I know you can see i'm incredibly blue
But i'm not that lonely yet

I look in your eyes while you're dancing with me
And try to fulfill your request
But don't ask for favors when it's time to leave
Cause i'm not that lonely yet

Now don't say you want me
I've heard that before
The words weigh like stones in my head
There may come a time when i'll think of you more
But i'm not that lonely yet

It's nice to be dancing
To waltzes again
And maybe it helps to forget
You've opened the door but i'm not waltzing in
Cause i'm not that lonely yet
No i'm not that lonely yet


3.I Don't Think Love Ought To Be That Way

(layng martine jr., richard mainegra)

Oh, i'm feeling so fine and you're looking so good
And i'd like to get together
Oh lord, i wish we could
But there's someone at home
Who's depending on me
And boy they'd never know it
If i set my passions free

Chorus:
But i don't think love ought to be that way
No i don't think love ought to be that way
I could tell him a lie
And i know i'd get by
But i don't think love ought to be that way

You say a precious moment
Is all that it would be
That i'd forget about you
And you'd forget me
Oh i love what you're saying
It's tempting me so
And though i love to hear it
There's no way that i'll let go

Repeat chorus

No (repeat chorus x3)


4.My Turn

(len chera, jay huguely)

Turn out the light
Turn yourself over to me
Turn off the world
Turn my feelings free

Just enjoy the pleasure
For the pleasure pleases me
You've been turning me on all night long
Now it's my turn

You have reached the woman in me
Through the man in you
Let me be that woman
Before the lovin's through

You just turn yourself over to me
While i turn my feelings free
You've been turning me on all night long
Now it's my turn

All night long
I've been driven to your touch
Haven't had time to give
I've been taking so much

I know you want to hold me
But darling you've done enough
You've been turning me on all night long
Now it's my turn

Repeat verses #3 and #4

Repeat verse #4


5.Only You(And You Alone)

(buck ram, ande rand)

Only you
Can make this world seem bright
Only you
Can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love
For only you

Only you
Can make this change in me
For it's true
You are my destiny
When you hold my hand
I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you

Oh, oh, only you
Can make this change in me
For it's true
You are my destiny
When you hold my hand
I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you


6.There Ain't No Future In This

(bill rice, mary s. rice)

Honey i know you tried
When you loved me tonight
But the memory slipped from your lips
So if she's on your mind
That much of the time
There ain't no future in this

There was somebody who
Took a whole lot of you
And i guess you're not over it yet
If i'm just
Standing in for a memory then
There ain't no future in this

Cause mine are the arms that hold you
Hers are the arms you miss
So if she's still the one
When it's all said and done
There ain't no future in this

So if she's still the one
When it's all said and done
There ain't no future in this


7.Today All Over Again

Chorus:
Is this how it is when it's over
Between a woman and a man
Must tomorrow just keep on being
Today all over again

You made it look so easy
Falling for somebody new
But i must be going about it all wrong
For i just can't stop loving you

Repeat chorus

This morning i reached out to touch you
A habit i've held for so long
But i just started hurting all over again
Like i have ever since you've been gone

Repeat chorus

Today all over again


8.Why Do We Want What We Know We Can't Have

(don king, david woodward)

Some come for the music
Some for romance
You gotta be with the boy that brought you to the dance
Then across the room comes a casual glance
And you be making some dime even half the chance

Now some like to look
And some like to touch
All the things that they can't have
Way too much
Some like to get real close to the flame
Once you feel the heat
You know they're never the same

Why do we want
What we know we can't have
Why don't we want
What's in the palm of our hands
Why we always looking
At what's just out of our grasp
Why do we want
What we know we can't have

Well susie was out driving her new corvette
She hadn't made that second payment yet
She rear ended a semi
But not by choice
She was a rubbernecking a new rolls royce

Repeat chorus x2


9.You're The First Time I've Thought About Leaving

(dickey lee, kerry chater)

I've seen you smile more than i thought you would
And i smiled back a little more than i should
And lately at night while he's sound asleep
I'm thinking things that i shouldn't think

Chorus:
You're the first time i've thought about leaving
And i really don't know what i'll do
You're the first time i've thought about leaving him
I've never done known someone like you

Sometimes i wait when i really should go
Lord only knows what i do that for
When i get home and he holds me close
I try not to think what i'm thinking most

Repeat chorus

I've never known someone like you


10.You Lift Me Up To Heaven

(jim zerface, bob morrison, johnny macrae)

Been to colorado where the mountains touch the sky
And i've done other things in life to lift my spirits high
But nothing that i've ever tried to do
Has taken me as high as loving you

Chorus:
Cause you lift me up, up, up, up to heaven
When you gently lay me down
You lift me up, up, up, up to heaven
Yes you make my world go round

I never try to get away on daydreams anymore
Love's taken me to places that i've never been before
But if it's not heaven when you're holding me
It's the way that heaven oughta be

Repeat chorus

And we never leave the ground
Up, up, up, up to heaven
Yes you make my world go round
