1.Here I Go Again

Lyrics:Shuman/Weslake
Music:Shuman/Weslake

Here I go again
Watch me now 'cause
Here I go again.

I've been hurt so much before
I told myself, yes I did
No more, no more won't get hurt any more

There I was all by myself
Doing all right
Until I saw you last night

And then I knew that

Here I go again
I can't help it
Here I go again

Making the same mistakes
Heading for more heartaches
What can I do when there's nothing I can do
I looked in your eyes and I knew that I was through

What 's the use
I'll just give in
Try as I may, and I do
I'll never win, never win, baby I'll never win.

Now, you're here, so close to me
I can't resist you
And I knew when I kissed you

I'm gonna say now
Here I go again
Watch me now 'cause

Here I go again

Falling in love, in love
Falling in love, in love
Falling in love, in love
Falling in love

3.What Kind of Boy

Lyrics:Irwin
Music:Irwin

I'd be a fool not to realize
just how much I needed your love
I'd be a fool not to realize
I'm the guy you're thinking of whoa

I don't want nobody new
In the future baby I'm gonna be true to you
What kind of boy do you think I am

I'd give you love and ecstasy
I ain't ever gonna break your heart
And you know and you know when I hold you close to me
You know it starts to tear me apart whoa

What kind of boy do you think I'd be
if I let other girls kiss on me
Oh can't you see
What kind of boy do you think I am

Here in your arms
I wanna be little girl
You give your love
so tenderly

verse 3

chorus

What kind of boy do you think I am
What kind of boy do you think I am
What kind of boy do you think I am


4.Look Through Any Window

Lyrics:Gouldman/Silverman
Music:Gouldman/Silverman

Look through any window yeah
What do you see
Smiling faces all around
rushing through the busy town

Where do they go
Moving on their way
walking down highways and the by-ways
Where do they go
Moving on their way
people with their shy ways and their sly ways

Oh you can see the little children all around
Oh you can see the little ladies in their gowns when you

Look through any window yeah
any time of day
See the drivers on the roads
pulling down their heavy loads

Where do they go
Moving on their way
driving down highways and the byways
Where do they go
Moving on their way
drivers with their shy ways and their sly ways

Oh you can see the little children all around
Oh you can see the little ladies in their gowns when you

Look through any window yeah
what do you see
Smiling faces all around
rushing through the busy town

Where do they go
Moving on their way
Moving on their way
Moving on their way

6.When I'm Not There

Lyrics:Hicks
Music:Hicks

When I'm not there
When I'm not there

Do you ever think of me
Do you ever talk of me
Do you ever ask for me
When I'm not there

Have you ever thought of me
Have you ever talked of me
Have you ever longed for me
When I'm not there

Wonderin' if you're true to me
And if our love will always be
I tried to get you by my side
But you said 'No
No no no no no'

Don't you ever make me blue
Won't you let me call on you
And may all my dreams come true
When I'm not there

chorus

No no no no no

9.Memphis

Lyrics:Berry
Music:Berry

Long distance information give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find a party tried to get in touch with me
She did not leave her number but I know who placed the call
My uncle took the message and he wrote on the wall

Help me information get in touch with my Marie
She's the only who'd call me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

Help me information more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the times we had
But we were torn apart because her ma did not agree
She tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Break

Help me information more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the times we had
But we were torn apart because her ma did not agree
She tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Last time I saw Marie she was waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old, oh information please
Try and put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

Lyrics:C.Ballard Jr
Music:C.Ballard Jr

Did you ever see a man with no heart
Baby, that was me
Just a lonely, lonely man with no heart
Til you set me free

Now I can breathe
I can see
I can touch
I can feel

I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the things I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

I used to think I was living
Baby, I was wrong
No I never knew a thing about living
Til you came along

Now I can breathe
I can see
I can touch
I can feel

I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the things I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

Now I can breathe
I can see
I can touch
I can feel

I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the love I've ever missed

Lyrics:Ransford
Music:Ransford

Been so long since I last saw you
Come on back Come on back
I'm just feeling lost without you
Come on back Come on back
Because you never you never you never held me tight
You didn't you didn't treat me right

Why don't you admit you love me
and come on back come on back
Say you're always thinking of me
Come on back Come on back
Because you never you never you never held me tight
You didn't you didn't treat me right

It's not so very hard (It's not so very hard)
to make me feel this way (to make me feel this way)
It's not so very hard (I just can't)
Can't find the words the words to say
Can't find the words the words to say

13.We're Through

Lyrics:L.Ransford
Music:L.Ransford

I should be better off without you
You take a pride in making me blue
I'm telling you my friend
It's got to be the end
We're through

I told you time and time again
You told me he was just a friend
But I found out some way
I've seen him every day
With you

'Cause you never treat me tenderly
You got no reason for leaving me
'Cause I can't leave you alone
'Cause I knew from the start
You'd be tearing me apart
Sooner or later

'Cause you never treat me tenderly
You got no reason for leaving me
'Cause I can't leave you alone
'Cause I knew from the start
You'd be tearing me apart
Sooner or later

And now my crying days are through
No longer shed a tear for you
I'm telling you my friend
It's got to be the end

We're through
We're through
We're through


14.I've Got A Way Of My Own

Lyrics:Ransford
Music:Ransford

Everything 'round them is spinning and turning
but they can't understand
People around me just never stop learning
about the things that I've planned

I've got a way, way of my own

Just look around them They better start thinking
people will lend a hand
They better watch it or else they'll start sinking
with their heads in the sand

I've got a way, way of my own

Come back, when you've time for the world
You must think they'd don't need anyone, no no
Come back, when you've time for the world
They might find what they're looking for
They might find what they're looking for

I can't believe that the reason they're giving
Will entice me to go
Why they deny me the right to start living
I'll just never know

I've got a way, way of my own

chorus


15.So Lonely

Lyrics:Ransford
Music:Ransford

Every time I see you walking down
The street with my girl
I get a funny feeling
When I see you out with my girl

I get so lonely
I get so lonely without you
I get so lonely for you

See you everyday
And now I realize you're not mine
I know I just can't think
Of anything to do with my time

'Cos I'm so lonely
I get so lonely without you

Waiting (Oh I'm waiting oh I'm waiting)
Oh I'm waiting (Oh I'm waiting yes I'm waiting)
Waiting (Oh I'm waiting yes I'm waiting)
For your loving
To keep me satisfied forever
To keep me satisfied forever

If you get tired of her
Just her right on back to my arms
And then we'll start anew
And know that we never will part

I get so lonely
I get so lonely without you
I get so lonely for you


16.To You My Love

Lyrics:Ransford
Music:Ransford

Since you took my heart
I can give you everything
So I'll give my everything
to you my love

As we're far apart
I will send my all to you
and I'll send my whole life too
to you my love

Long to be near you and hold you and kiss you my sweet
When I am with you I know that my life is complete

Now I'm coming home
coming back to give my love
to the one I'm dreaming of
to you my love

chorus

Hard workin' at the mail
Never fail with the mails
Still they get my posted bail

Tryin' to get me hooked
Want me to marry get a home
Settle down write a book oh

Lyrics:Taylor/Gorgoni

Oh I try and I try but I can't say goodbye

Feel so bad, baby Oh, it hurts me
When I think of how you love and desert me
I'm the broken-hearted toy you play with, baby

You got me going I need you, baby

Though I'm just one of your lovers
And I know there are so many others
You do something strange to me, baby, baby

Know that it's wrong and I should be so strong
But the thought of you gone makes me want to hold on
