1.99 Reasons

99 REASONS by Jo Beth Taylor
99, 99 (99)
Oooo.. 99 (99)

Send me roses with a kiss
You could've given me a diamond ring
Or the money and the cars
Believe me honey, they don't mean a thing
No doubt about it
I gotta know
The only thing I really need
Is a word
I haven't heard
When you say that to me

Chorus:
I could give you 99 reasons why I'll never let you go
And 99 reasons to believe in why I need you so
99 reasons, oh - 99 reasons
Give me one, only one, 'cause I need to know

Come on baby, when we're closer than a kiss
I see forever in your eyes
I can read your mind, but not your lips
I want to hear it
Say it out loud
Fun and talk is not enough
If you want me
Show me now
'Cause baby I'm, not asking much

CHORUS

Say it like you mean it
Eye to eye
Can't you see both of us need it
Why be so....

99 (99) 99
Oh oh oh...
Never let you go

CHORUS x 2


2.A Prayer For Jane

A PRAYER FOR JANE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Written:Steve Kipner, John L Parker

VERSE 1:
With her headphones on she disappears
Into a world of no restrictions
Alone in her room in her parent's house
Waiting for love to recognise her
Her mother is downstairs miles away
Pouring a drink to tolerate
She thinks to herself my baby's just like me
Please don't let her make the same mistakes

CHORUS:
If you love me say a prayer for Jane
She's a spirit of a young girl's heart
Light a candle in the pouring rain
When you feel the pain
Say a prayer for Jane

VERSE 2:
2 am as pre-arranged
She sneaks down the hall and out the door
Running away in her boyfriend's car
The moment they've been waiting for
Free as the wind blowing in her hair
Driving as fast as the love could go
Out of control on a dead man's curve
The phone rings and her mother answers
NO NO NO NO NOT MY BABY NO

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
She left a message on the bathroom mirror
Lipstick on the mirror said
'Mummy I love you but ...
You've just got to let me go
Can we talk about it tomorrow'

CHORUS: (not last line) x 2
Remember Jane


3.Chances

CHANCES
~~~~~~~

Written:Jo Beth Taylor, Jamie Jardine

VERSE 1:
Staring out my window
Watching children in the street
Innocence in their own world
They don't stop to take a look at me
Still I wonder as they grow old
Will they question what we do
There will be no problems
They're gonna have to find solutions too

CHORUS:
Life's like a river flowing
I don't believe in chances just in me

VERSE 2:
The road that leads us
Gives us our experience
And we'll all find our own way
Success depends on where attention is
Looking back on my own life
At all the possibilities
But I won't ever regret
What was never really meant to me

CHORUS:

GUITAR SOLO:

BRIDGE:
Maybe I'm just a dreamer searching
I'm out in the open, it's too hard to see
And

CHORUS: (repeat & fade)


4.Everyones Not Me

EVERYONE'S NOT ME performed by JoBeth Taylor, written by Deborah
Gibson

(Keeth):Ha ha ha ha... It's a lie
(Debbie):Go!

Verse 1:
If you think you can do it better, then
Do it yourself
What's the use of giving advice to
Someone else?
If you're so smart then
What is loneliness what you teach
Take your ___ heart and go and
Practice what you preach

Chorus:
Everyone says I'm crazy
And their lies are plain as day
But I don't believe it and
My heart does what I say
People think I'm stupid
Plus I just can't see
Everyone can shut up
Cause everyone's not me

Verse 2:
I'm tired of people kicking their shoes and saying
(Keeth) 'We're not ___ tired, you know what I mean'
Should've kept it for themselves now
Ain't it seem
I have a heart and I have a
Mind of my own
We ___
What we've shown to others

CHORUS

(Keeth):
Alright, now listen
And I really want you to read my lips
I'm gonna leave you alone
Cause I can just ___
You're the only one I want, Jo Beth

(Keeth): Go on with the girl

CHORUS

CHORUS

(Debbie): So there
(Keeth): As long as you promise to sing me another tune (sneeze)
Make my day


5.Have Things Changed

HAVE THINGS CHANGED performed by JoBeth Taylor, written by
Deborah Gibson

Verse 1:
I'm supposed to be in love
I'm supposed to be, indeed, yeah
But I'm up another night
Hopin' everything's alright
And I just can't go to sleep

Verse 2:
I just had some words with you
They were nice, they were few again
Times like these when I'm in doubt
Do I know what love's about
Or am I just another fool?

Chorus:
I want to run back to your arms
And pick up where we left off
I'm keeping all my promises
Cause if I ever lost you
I seem so secure
But I'm so unsure
Have things changed?

Verse 3:
I believe that you still love me
I believe that you still care, yeah
But to others half the chance
Are you in need of romance
Without me there?

Verse 4:
Have your feet hit the ground
Do you realize how precious is the love we found?
Do you know I cry all night
Wishing I could hold you tight
When you're not around?

CHORUS

I think they have...

Bridge:
Cause I feel jealous of the people
Who spend time with you
And I'm wondering
If they really care like I do
Well, I hope I'm not
Just your security blanket
Because I really care wooah oh oh oh


Well, I may seem so secure
But I'm so unsure
Have things changed?

Seem so secure
But I'm so unsure
Have things changed?


6.Slow Jam

SLOW JAM by Jo Beth Taylor
Verse 1:
Sometimes love is good
When it only lasts a minute
Other times, love's just fine
When you're not really in it

Break 1:
This feeling came to me without warning
It never felt so right
I want to make love until the morning
I'm in the mood for a slow jam tonight

Chorus:
Slow jam - that's what I need
I want you over and over again
Slow jam - oh baby
I want to take you in my arms and never let it end

Verse 2:
I don't want secrets when it comes down to loving you
Anything that you got on your mind
Tell me baby
'Cause you know what I do for you

Break 2:
Your love's so good and so understanding
A better man - I'd never find
So good to me when I get demanding
and let you know what's on my mind

CHORUS x 2

oh baby

BREAK 1

CHORUS x 2

Slow jam - that's what I need
I want you over - boy I want you over
Slow jam - oh baby, oh baby - slow jam


7.Snatched Down

SNATCHED DOWN performed by JoBeth Taylor, written by Deborah
Gibson

Chant:
Snatched down is the term you need to know to be cool
If you're gonna play the game, you gotta play with my rules
Snatched down means fierce from head to toe
No one can tell you when you got it-
You just know

You gotta be snatched, boy

Verse 1:
I'll be ready, so pick me up at ten
So long, honey, I'll see you then
Got some last-minute shopping
I'm gonna knock you out
I'll show you what shock is all about

Bridge 1:
Got a cute strapless number and some high-heeled shoes
And I'm looking like somebody's - bad news!

Chorus:
Snatched down, baby
All the way around
Looks don't count so long as you're not looking like a clown
Won't be nobody's business
Won't be nobody's fool
I won't be seen with nobody
Who isn't looking...

Cool!

Verse 2:
___ anything ___ true
There is a thing looking (looking) at you
It's your reflection on the personality
Need an example? well, take a look at me

Bridge 2:
What to be, what's been
What's out, what's in
Don't you come on in looking like homemade sin

CHORUS x2

Fashion statement, yeah
Let's get down and dirty, boy - owww!

CHORUS x5

Cool...


8.Worth My Time

WORTH MY TIME performed by JoBeth Taylor, written by Deborah
Gibson

Verse 1:
You gotta walk on pass your crushes, they tell me
Why waste precious time?
Baby, let's not ignore the feelings we have
Although they're not life-long strong inside
I feel my insides quiver
Why deny the physical signs?
Emotional confidence security
___ when you hold me

Chorus:
Take it for what it's worth
And that's a good (good) thing
Take it for what it's worth
And that's the joy you're bringing to my heart
Bringing the joy, I say joy
And piece of mind
I tell you what you're worth -
You're worth my time

Verse 2:
I adore you so much
But there's just something missing
It's not that you're doing something wrong
In fact, you're doing everything so right
Something's not real ___
But why dance around the chemistry
I don't wanna hear about the way
Things are supposed to be so

CHORUS

Bridge:
You're my baby, boy
Emotionally but I love taking care of you
I will make you strong and soon you will see
how it feels
When the real thing clicks
But for now...

It's a good thing (it's a good thing)
You know (you know) it's a good (good) thing

You gotta take it
You gotta take it, why don't you take it away from me
You gotta take it
That's the joy you're bringing to my heart
Bringing the joy, I say joy
And piece of mind
You know you're worth my time.

You gotta take it
Good, good thing
Take it, just take it
... joy, you know what I'm saying
I'm your girl and you know how I feel
You know the deal.


9.You Got A Good Thing

YOU GOT A GOOD THING by JoBeth Taylor
Uh-huh-huh

Nobody told me - had to find out for myself
I caught you messin' 'round with somebody else
That's when I knew it wasn't in my head

Break:
I treat you better than I ever treated me
I can't imagine why you want to set me free
It ain't going to be easy lettin' my love go

Chorus:
When you know you got a good thing (don't you know?)
Don't you know you got a good thing (why don't you know?)
If you know you got a good thing (don't you know?)
Why don't I feel so good?
Why don't I feel like I should?

You knew you hurt me - it's written on my face
I can't believe you let her take my place
Second's no big thing - a temporary fix
There's no way she could steal your heart with just one kiss

With my devotion, I was always on your side
Never a moment when I dare to say goodbye
So my heart'll be broken letting my love show

CHORUS

Why don't I feel like I should?
Such a, such a, such a good thing
You got, you got, you got a good thing
Such a, such a, such a good thing - woah...

BREAK

CHORUS x 3
