1.Coming On Strong
(＊Billy Cowsill／Jeffrey Hatcher)
Now if I'm coming on strong＊
It's cuz you're driving me crazy
And if I'm reading you wrong
Just let me know that I am
And if I'm carrying on
It's just because I can't help it
You see I've waited so long
Please don't you put me down
Whoever is making the rules
Is going to wind up the winner
I know the loser's the fool
Who never tries it
Who never give it a chance
We've been acquainted so long
But did you know I was feeling
A hurt so deep and so strong
Well then you I found
Whoever is making the rules
Is going to wind up the winner
I know the loser's the fool
Who never tries it
Who never give it a chance
I might have waited too long
To let you know what I'm feeling
Now baby baby you know
Just why I'm coming on strong
I'm coming on strong
I'm coming on strong
Why I'm coming on strong
2.The Fool Is The Last One To Know
(＊Billy Cowsill／Ralph Boden Johnson)
Now I'm just a working man＊
And I've done all that I can
To keep you in your ribbons and your bows
Talk gets around
In a small country town
Where the fool is the last one to know
It takes a fool to do the things I do
Have to be a fool, a fool like me
To be so in love with you
Have your parcels growing cold
Is there someone that you hold
Lights die out when you're alone
Who's that so and so
Darling who's your Romeo
Oh the fool is the last one to know
It takes a fool to do the things I do
Have to be a fool, a fool like me
To be so in love with you
I overheard you on the phone
You were whispering sweet and low
Something that I'd never heard before
Saying just what lovers say
When two lovers talk that way
Yes the fool is the last one to know
It takes a fool to do the things I do
Have to be a fool, a fool like me
To be so in love with you
Yeah sure talk gets around
In a small country town
Where the fool is the last one to know
I guess the fool is the last one to know
Yes, I'm the fool and I'm the last one to know
3.If I Were You
(＊Billy Cowsill／Jeffrey Hatcher)
If I were you＊
Well I would turn my head
And hear this word I said to you
Not something else instead
And if you hear
What you should have heard
And if you know that every single word
Was ringing true
If I were you
If I were you
Believe me I will try
To see a different point of view
Like looking eye to eye
You see this laying here thinking I'm fine
And wondering why without even trying
Did he seem so cruel
If I were you
If you were me
Then maybe you'd see
What fools we can be
When only one side we'll see
Now tell it to me true
Now don't it tell on you
She see me standing there thinking it's fine
And wonders why without even trying
Could he seem so cruel
If you were me
Would you gaze into the mirror
The truth is looking back at you
Or do you think it's rude to stare
Cuz what you see is what you finally get
It looks to me, I haven't seen it as yet
But one day if you would see as I do
Then you'd feel the fool
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
4.Think On It
(＊Jeffrey Hatcher)
So much work are some stories＊
Sometimes they just hide themselves
So much work to say I'm sorry
When it feels like I'm talking to myself
She said her love for me was dying
Before it's gone I feel
I should be gone too
And I'll think on it
Ahh but not tonight
Pass another won't you
Keep me thinking I'm alright
Search is on for the darkness
Or the night that has no end
I never hoped with this loneliness
To find a true and everlasting friend
Cuz when I feel that something matters
Then I know that I'm not far enough gone
And I'll think on it
Ahh but not tonight
Pass another won't you
Keep me thinking I'm alright
Now when I feel that something matters
Then I know I'm not far enough gone
And I'll think on it
Ahh but not tonight
Pass another won't you
Keep me thinking I'm alright
So I'll think on it
Ahh but not tonight
Pass another won't you
Keep me thinking I'm alright
Whoa and I'll think on it oooawww
5.Deliver Me
(＊Jeffrey Hatcher)
Driving at midnight and the moon is＊
Looking right at me
I can feel it settling down on me
Over me
Come deliver me from this night
When I left you standing so alone
Then I started wondering
But I don't mind saying it now
Oh please come to me
Come deliver me from this night
Ahh that love we had found
Well we drove it underground
Deliver me
This canyon's on fire now
And I'm wondering
How much longer will it be
Till it comes tumbling down
Over me
Come deliver me from this night
Ahh that love we had found
Well we drove it underground
Deliver me
Yeah all that love we had found
Well we drove it underground
Deliver us from our yesterdays
Hold us together if it can't be done
Deliver us from all that might be
If we get what we think we want
Ahh deliver me
Driving at midnight and the moon is still
Looking right at me
I can feel it settling down on me
Over me
Come deliver me from this night
Ahh that love we had found
Well we drove it underground
Deliver me
Oh please deliver me
Come on now deliver me
Come on now deliver me
Deliver me from this night
Deliver me
Deliver me
Come on come on come on now deliver me
From this night
Deliver me
Come on, come on deliver me
From this night
6.A Thousand Times
(＊Billy Cowsill／Mark Irwin)
I told you no a thousand times＊
Don't try to make me change my mind
You see I'm happy where I am
And I don't need your cheating kind
I told my baby I'd be true
Twas on the day we said I do
To hurt her once would be a crime
I told you no a thousand times
I've been a fool before
Now I don't fool around no more
Cuz when it comes to love
I learned my lesson well
Don't get me wrong it's crossed my mind
I've just won't step across that line
She's someone I don't want to lose
True love is hard enough to find
Go give your heart to someone else
Then maybe you'll see for yourself
And understand the reason why
I told you no a thousand times
You see I've been a fool before
Now I don't fool around no more
Cuz when it comes to love
I learned my lesson well
Go give your heart to someone else
Then maybe you'll see for yourself
And understand the reason why
I told you no a thousand times
You'll understand the reason why
I told you no a thousand times
7.If It Ain't Rockin'
(＊Billy Cowsill／Jeffrey Hatcher)
Well when something ain't jumping＊
That what I can't take
And even if a movin then I give it a shake
Well I don't want to rush you but I can't hide
And if it ain't rockin' then it ain't right
Well I don't mind a rollin on the way down to here
Things get away from me, you know how they get
Well I think you better move before I'm out of site
Cuz if it ain't a rockin' then it ain't right
It ain't right, I know, but it seems the only way to go
Could be wrong, even so
It's the only thing I know
I say a bless my soul cuz here I go
Well it ain't right, I know, seems the only way to go
I could be wrong, even so
It's the only way I know
Sometimes I like to hear a little, just to see what it does
Seen my concentration isn't what it once was
Oh I know I shouldn't, but I know I just might
Cuz if it ain't a rockin' then it ain't right
Well if it ain't a rockin', if it ain't a rockin'
If it ain't a rockin', it just ain't right
8.On The Floor Of Heaven
(＊Billy Cowsill／Jeffrey Hatcher)
On the floor of heaven＊
With their heavenly hands
Speaking to no one
Knowing they'll understand
All the love letters written
Not a one ever sent
But the time for regretting
Has come to an end
On the floor of heaven
Will I scattered like dreams
But they'll dreaming no longer
So alone so it seems
And they tell they'll be hurting
Even more now than then
Almost all men, all men
No they won't go on circling
When they've learned how to bend
Almost all men, all men
The time is coming and they look back
All on the living they have done
The things they're taking and all they've shared
The loves they've lost and they've won
On the floor of heaven
Soon they'll be feeling alright
Hear angels crying forever
Some weeping all through the night
And those gray clouds grow heavy
Till the rains have been spent
Washing all of them
Almost all men
Almost all men
9.When Will This Heartache End
(＊Billy Cowsill／Jeffrey Hatcher)
When will this heartache end＊
Why won't it die
How will I love again
Should I even try
She felt so real to me
Guess I was wrong again
Oh someone tell me when will this heartache end
When will my heart be free
To love again
Was I just meant to be
Like another friend
I got this hurting here
For me it just won't mend
Won't someone tell me will this heartache end
Will it be gone with time
Or will I lose my mind
Just how long can it go on this way
I've seen how long it takes
Before a strong heart breaks
And this heart of mine won't take it anymore
When will this heartache end
And set me free
To live and love again
So I can see
That one mistake I made
I'll never make again
I'll have to wait until this heartache ends
I've seen how long it takes
Before a strong heart breaks
And this heart of mine won't take it anymore
When will this heartache end
And let me be
To live and love again
So I can see
That one mistake I made
I'll never make again
I'll have to wait until this heartache ends
Oh me I'll have to wait until this heartache ends
10.The Embers
(＊Billy Cowsill／Jeffrey Hatcher)
The embers keep burning＊
Long after the fire
Old memories returning
Like your voice on the wire
Oh our love's in ashes
You're still my one desire
And the embers keep burning long after the fire
Unkind words were spoken
But we said them in hast
Now two hearts are broken
True love is nothing to waste
But my memories are ashes
There's this haunting desire
Cuz the embers keep burning long after the fire
Oh and burn they will, right up until eternity
Not all the fire has burned
But I have learned this flame will reach no higher
Still the embers keep burning long after the fire
But my memories are ashes
That leave this haunting desire
And the embers keep burning long after the fire
Yes the embers keep burning long after the fire
11.I Believe
(＊Jeffrey Hatcher)
I believed you when I shouldn't＊
I believed when others wouldn't
I believe that I'm a fool for believing, fool for loving you
I can't believe how long it's taken
But I believe my heart is breaking
Cuz I believe I'm a fool for loving you
And I believe I find
Your love would be always mine
To all believers hope they find
They'e love has been oh so blind
If I believed for just one minute
Then as soon I'm right back in it
And I believe I'm a fool for loving you
And I believe I find
Your love would be always mine
To all believers hope they find
Their love has been oh so blind
I believed you when I shouldn't
I believed when others wouldn't
I believe that I'm a fool for believing, fool for loving you
Cuz I believe that I should go now
I believe with all my soul now
Yet I could I would believe you
Yes if I could I would believe in you
I believe in, say I believe in
I believe in well I believe in
Yes I believe in
Well I believe in
Yes I believe in
Cuz I believe in
I believe in
I believe in
12.Is Anybody Here
(＊Billy Cowsill／Jeffrey Hatcher)
Is anybody here, to hear this song＊
That I've been crying here, all night long
This feeling so alone, it feels so wrong
Is anybody here to hear this song
Is this lonely voice
The only voice to sing this song
Is my guitar the only one to strum along
Out my window in the street
The shadow falls on a deserted town
Where the people used to meet
Now but never when the suns gone down
Can anybody see, what's going on
Cuz everybody knows, the right from wrong
Oh we could change it now, or go along
Is anybody here to hear this song
Out my window in the street
A steady rain is still a coming down
Till the sun rises up again
Will this world ever come around
Is anybody here to hear this song
That I've been crying here, all night long
This feeling so alone, just feels so wrong
Is anybody here to hear this song
Now is anybody here to hear this song
This song
13.A Little Bit Lonesome, A Little Bit Blue
(＊Billy Cowsill／Jeffrey Hatcher)
Now I'm a little bit lonesome and just a little bit blue＊
I get a little bit welled up when I'm thinkin' of you
I guess I'm sayin' I miss you
It's sad to say by it's true
Now I'm a little bit lonesome and just a little bit blue
It doesn't happen too often, to find somebody who knows
Just what a real love feels like and how to make a love grow
I never knew where it went wrong
I only know that it's through
Now I'm a little bit lonesome and just a little bit blue
Yeah I'm a little bit lonesome, but I'm sure that it'll pass
Oh the beat of this blue heart is going to last and last
You said our love was forever
So I was countin' on you
Now I know that I'll never, own anybody that's new
Oh baby I ain't complaining but what you said was untrue
So I'm a little bit lonesome and just a little bit blue
Now I'm a little bit lonesome, but I'm sure that it'll pass
Oh the beat of this blue heart is going to last and last
Oh baby I ain't complaining but what you said was untrue
So I'm a little bit lonesome and just a little bit blue
Yeah I'm a little bit lonesome and just a little bit blue
14.Give Give Givin'
(＊Billy Cowsill／Jeffrey Hatcher)
You tug at my hand so easily＊
Then tug the heart right out of me
Then when I gave you my all
Then you touch your ____ about watch me when I fall
This give give givin' don't fell like livin' at all
Well I gave you all the love I could
If I had more to give I likely would
But now I _____

This give give givin' don't fell like livin' at all
You went out from givin givin takin time

15.A Paper 'n A Promise
(＊Billy Cowsill／Ron Salle)
I know an old man on the mountain＊
His eyes are glazed from life
Said he'd seen some happier times
Back before he lost his wife
Well he sat me down and told me
Some things I never heard
I listened to that old man
And I took in every word
He said, 'You get a paper 'n a promise on the day you are born
That's the first thing that you sign.
A paper 'n a promise on the day you wed
When you take the vows that binds.
And there a paper about a promise of a promised land
That's a place we all hope to find
But that paper 'n a promise on the day you died
Is the only paper that you never sign.'
I know a young girl in the _____
Whose heart is full of love
She's got a husband and a baby
All the things you been dreamin' of
They're going to teach their young son
To be a fine and honest man
Gonna teach him about the power in his spoken word
And the strength in the shake of his hand.
You get a paper 'n a promise on the day you are born
That's the first thing that you sign.
A paper 'n a promise on the day you wed
When you take the vows that binds.
And there a paper about a promise of a promised land
And that's a place we all hope to find
But that paper 'n a promise on the day you died
Is the only paper that you never sign.
Now God don't care about the clothes you wear
To get forgiveness all you do is ask
But He keeps track of promises kept
From the first day to the last
You get a paper 'n a promise on the day you are born
That's the first thing that you sign.
A paper 'n a promise on the day you wed
When you take the vows that binds.
And there a paper about a promise of a promised land
That's a place we all hope to find
But that paper 'n a promise on the day you died
Is the only paper that you never sign.
You get a paper 'n a promise on the day you are born
That's the first thing that you sign.
A paper 'n a promise on the day you wed
When you take the vows that binds.
And there a paper about a promise of a promised land
And that's a place we all hope to find
But that paper 'n a promise on the day you died
Is the only paper that you never sign.
You get a paper 'n a promise
Yeah, yeah, a paper 'n a promise
Just a paper 'n a promise
You get a paper 'n a promise
Yeah, you get a paper 'n a promise
16.And The Curtains Close
(＊Jeffrey Hatcher／Kim Clarke)
Well she tries to hide what's been going on＊
Holding back the tears when she's on the phone
All the years of pain that have been disguised can not be denied
Is there no where to go
When the words turn to blows
And the fists start to fly
And the children hide and the curtain's closed
Well her friends have tried
They know that something's wrong
But he says he loves her
So she carries on
There's the kids, the house
So much at stake for her to make a break
Is there no where to go
When the words turn to blows
And the fists start to fly
And the children hide and the curtain's closed
She's scared and it shows
Is there no where to go
Like like a fist flying arose
Now the circle has closed
Will the world that she knows
End this way
So they talk all night
He says he's to blame
And he buys her back
With promises again
Now the tears are dry
It's a sober game till it happens again
Is there no where to go
When the words turn to blows
And the fists start to fly
And the children hide and the curtain's closed
Will the world that she knows
End this way
Ah they talk all night
He says that he's to blame
And he buys her back
With promises again
Now the tears are dry
It's a sober game till it happens again
Is there no where to go
When the words turn to blows
The fists start to fly
And the children hide and the curtain's closed
When the fists start to fly
All the children hide and the curtain's closed
17.Heart Of A Lion, Soul Of A Dove
(＊Billy Cowsill／Stewart MacDougall)
I've often knocked upon a million doors＊
Before I find what I've been lookin for
Lord give me hope, but to my surprise
She was standing right before my eyes
I've been lookin' for it for a long, long time
Always hoping that I just might find
A little girl with a lot of style
She ______for a while
It gives you everything and so much more
I finally found what I've been looking for
We get courage, we get love
Heart Of A Lion, Soul Of A Dove
When I shy away at the slightest touch
I'll bag it all if it hurts too much
I couldn't know that there'd ever be
Someone for her, someone for me
I can tell just the way that I feel
I ain't afraid cuz her love's so real
We got the courage, we got love
Heart Of A Lion, Soul Of A Dove
When I shy away at the slightest touch
And bag it all if it hurts too much
I couldn't know that there'd ever be
Someone for her, someone for me
I can tell just the way that I feel
I ain't afraid cuz her love's so real
We got the courage, we got love
Heart Of A Lion, Soul Of A Dove
Heart Of A Lion, Soul Of A Dove
18.Wonder 'Bout Me
(＊Billy Cowsill／Jeffrey Hatcher)
You know that my eyes never wonder＊
Sure baby there's a lot to see
But your spell has put me right under
You never have to worry, never have to wonder 'bout me.
You see the way that I love you
Ah honey can't you tell I do
There's no doubt a man's a lookin
You never have to worry, never have to wonder 'bout me.
Go to me, wanna get over what might be
That was then now it's not anything likely
I took a good look when I was much younger
A good time when I was running free
Now I'm telling you honey
You never have to worry, never have to wonder 'bout me.
Go to me, wanna get over what might be
That was then now it's not anything likely
You know my eyes never wonder
Sure baby there's a lot to see
But your spell has kept me right under
You never have to worry, never have to wonder 'bout me.
Never have to wonder 'bout me.
Never have to wonder 'bout me.
Never have to wonder 'bout me.
Never have to wonder 'bout me.
Never have to wonder 'bout me.
Never have to wonder 'bout me.
Never have to wonder 'bout me.
