1.Crazy Horses

Lyricist:Alan Ralph Osmond, M Wayne Osmond, Merrill Davis Osmond

There's a message, floating
In the air, crazy horses riding everywhere
It's a warning, it's in every tongue
Gotta stop them crazy horses on the run

What a show, there they go
Smoking up the sky, yeah
Crazy horses all got riders
And they're you and I, crazy horses, crazy horses

Never stop and they never die
They just keep on puffin', how they multiply?
Crazy horses, will they never halt?
If they keep on moving then it's all our fault

What a show, there they go
Smoking up the sky, yeah
Crazy horses all got riders
And they're you and I

So take a good look around
See what they've done, what they've done
They've done, they've done, they've done
They've done, they've done, they've done

Crazy horses, crazy horses
Crazy horses, crazy horses


2.Double Lovin'

Lyricist:Mickey Buckins, George Henry Jackson

I'm gonna double your lovin', double your fun
You get two for the price of one

It took me a long time to find a good woman
One that would be true
That's why I'm gonna double
What it takes baby to hold on to you

I'm gonna make my lovin' twice
As good as it was before
I'm gonna love you so good
You'll be begging and crying for more

Double, double lovin', is what I'm gonna give to you
And you're gonna receive double pleasure every time I do

Double, double lovin' makes
You feel so good inside
And when I double up on my lovin'
You're gonna be satisfied

I'm gonna double up on my huggin'
And my kissin' too
And I got a double stroke of lovin'
I've been dying to use on you

Don't be afraid to give me your love
'Cause I won't hurt you
You make the first step baby
And the rest I can easily do

I'm gonna double your lovin', double your fun
You get two for the price of one
I'm gonna double your lovin', double your fun
You get two for the price of one

I'm a track star, gotta run far
And I'm ready to go

But if I'm gonna make it
Gotta fight, fight, fight all day
And night and day all right

I gotta make it, gonna make it all right
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home
If it takes me the rest of my life

That I'm feelin' like a useless man

Everybody's lookin' at me
Tyrin' to help me down

Even though it takes another day
And night, and day, all right

Somehow, someday

Lyricist:Alan Osmond, Merrill Osmond, Wayne Osmond

Loving you could be so easy
Loving you could make me warm
Ever since the day I left you
I try but I just can't get you out of my mind

Thought that I could do without you
Thought I had to look around
But now that I know I need you
I promise I'll never leave you

Won't you please let me in, let me in your arms again
Let me give my love to you once more
Let me love you, let me love you

Take me in, take me in your arms to stay
And I'll never go away again
'Cause I love you, 'cause I love you

I'll never be the same without you
If I have to say goodbye
I have no right to ask you
But if you can, won't you try to love me?
Won't you try to love me? Help me?

7.Love Me for a Reason

Lyricist:Johnny Bristol, Wade Jr Brown, David Jones

Girl, when you hold me
How you control me
You bend and you fold me
Anyway you please

It must be easy for you
The loving things that you do
But just a pastime for you
I could never be

And I never know, girl
If I should stay or go
'Cause the games that you play
Keep driving me away

Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
And let the reason be love

Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love

Kisses and caresses
Are only minor tests, babe
Of love lead to stresses
Between a woman and a man

So if love everlasting
Isn't what you're asking
I'll have to pass, girl
I'm proud to take a stand

I can't continue guessin'
Because it's only messin'
With my pride and my mind
So right now, it's time to tell you

Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love

Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love

Ooh baby, I'm just a little old fashioned
It takes more than a physical attraction
My initial reaction is
Honey, give me love, not a facsimile of

Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love

Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love

Don't love me for fun, ooh baby
Let me be the one
Love me, love me for a reason
Let the reason be love, be love

Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love


8.One Bad Apple

Lyricist:George Henry Jackson

I can tell you've been hurt by that look on your face, girl
Some guy brought sad into your happy world
You need love but you're afraid that if you give in
Someone else will come along and sock it to you again

One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl
Oh, give it one more try before you give up on love
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch girl
Oh, I don't care what they say, I don't care what you heard

I could make you happy, baby, satisfy you, too
But how can I if you won't give me a chance to prove my love to
you?
Won't you just give me one chance?
I'll give you my guarantee that you won't be hurt again

One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl
Oh, give it one more try before you give up on love
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl
Oh, I don't care what they say, I don't care what you heard now

I've been noticing you, baby, for a long, long time
I'm not ashamed to tell the world that you really messed up my
mind
Girl, to me you're like a dream come true
I'd rather hurt myself than to ever hurt you

One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl
Oh, give it one more try before you give up on love, girl
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl
Oh, I don't care what they say, I don't care what you heard now

One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl

Lyricist:Gerry Goffin, Carole King

Hey girl, I want you to know
I'm going to miss you so much if you go
And hey, girl, I tell you no lie
Something deep inside of me's going to die
If you say, 'So long'
If this is goodbye

Hey girl, this can't be true
How am I supposed to exist without you?
Hey girl, now don't put me on
What's going to happen to me when you're gone?
How will I live, how can I go on?
How can I go on?

Hey girl, now sit yourself down
I'm not ashamed to get down on the ground
And beg, beg you to stay
Oh, don't go away, hey girl
Please hey, don't go away, hey girl
Please, please don't go away, hey girl


12.Morning Side of the Mountain

Lyricist:Dick Manning, Larry Lawrence Stock

There was a girl
There was a boy

There was a girl, there was a boy
If they had met they might have found a world of joy
But he lived on the morning side of the mountain
And she lived on the twilight side of the hill

They never met, they never kissed
They will never know what happiness they've missed
'Cause he lived on the morning side of the mountain
And she lived on the twilight side of the hill

For love's a rose that never grows
Without the kiss of the morning dew
And every Jack must have a Jill
To know the thrill of a dream that comes true

And you and I are just like they
For all we know our love is just a kiss away
But you are on the morning side of the mountain
And you are on the twilight side of the hill

And you and I are just like they
For all we know our love is just a kiss away
But you are on the morning side of the mountain
And you are on the twilight side of the hill

There was a girl
There was a boy


13.That's My Girl

Lyricist:Alan Osmond

Take a little love, add a little laughter
Find a pretty smile, that's my girl
Take a little rain, turn it into sunshine
Make you feel better, that's my girl

Just take the time, she'll find the way
To make you feel at home
Like you've always known her
That's my girl

In all the world, there's no one better
I call out her name, she's always there

If you got a hurt, you're never gonna hide it
She knows what you're thinking, that's my girl
Take a look around, counting my blessings
There's my girl

In all the world, there's no one better
I call out her name, she's always there

Where do I go and who do I pray for?
Why am I living? For my girl
Take me as I am and make me look better
That's my girl, that's my girl, that's my girl


14.Go Away Little Girl

Lyricist:Gerry Goffin, Carole King

Go away, little girl
Go away, little girl
I'm not supposed to be alone with you
I know that your lips are sweet
But our lips must never meet
I'm dating somebody else, I must be true

Oh, go away, little girl
(Go away, little girl)
Go away, little girl
(Go away, little girl)

It's hurtin' me more each minute that we delay

You're much too hard to resist
So, go away, little girl
Before I beg you to stay

Oh, go away, little girl
(Go away, little girl)
Go away, little girl

It's hurts me more, the more that we delay
When you are near me like this
You're much too hard to resist
So, go away, little girl
Let's call it a day, little girl
Please, go away, little girl, before I beg you to stay

With everything I'm worth
I still want you

Every night I lie awake
Going back in time
Playing over and over and over again
I must have been out of my mind

I'll do anything that you want me to
Believe me, I'll be good to you

There's a hole in my heart only you can fill
One more chance, baby, say you will

Just who it was that let you go
I can't believe I did it
'Cause I still love you

I'll do anything that you want me to
Believe me, I'll be good to you

Oh, remember me baby, remember my kiss
No one out there is gonna love you like this

I'm going in circles, stuck like a broken record
I'm going 'round and 'round
And playing it over and over and over again
Oh, don't let me down, no

Baby, love me like you used to do
I'll do anything that you want me to
Believe me, I'll be good to you

There's a hole in my heart only you can fill
One more chance, baby, say you will

I'm on the road flying solo

I got questions looking at me
Answers trying to find me
Everybody telling me what they don't know
I got traffic in my mind, yeah
Don't know which road to follow

I see blind men leading blind men
And telling us how to make it

Oh, let me hear again those wonderful sounds
Thinking of way back then, oh, how I can remember when
We had a lot of friends, take me back again

Take me back again to my hometown
I wanna hear again that sweet old sound
The only happiness I ever found is back in my hometown

All those forgotten friends, take me back again

20.My Name Is Alice, A

Lyricist:Joel Hirschhorn, Al Kasha

'A' my name is Alice and my boyfriend's name is Andy
We come from Alabama and we like apples
'A' my name is Alice and I want to play the game of love

When you were only nine, I used to watch you playing
You used to bounce your rubber ball and
I'd look at you for hours, saying

'A' my name is Alice and my boyfriend's name is Andy
We come from Alabama and we like apples
'A' my name is Alice and I want to play the game of love

When you were seventeen, you used to bring me flowers
I couldn't help remembering the ways I'd spend my hours
Saying

'A' my name is Alice and my boyfriend's name is Andy
We come from Alabama and we like apples
'A' my name is Alice and I want to play the game of love

We just can't play to be together, I want to be your bride
Then we'll hear our little girl singing
Every time we look outside

'A' my name is Alice and my boyfriend's name is Andy
We come from Alabama and we like apples
'A' my name is Alice and I want to play the game of love

Girl, you say you wanna leave me
You wanna go your merry way
You no longer want, the love we used to share
Why do you treat me this way

I'm still gonna need you
For ever more
For ever more

How well I'll ever remember
That cold and dreadful night
When you told me that you loved me girl
And walked right outta my life

Oh, where and when did I go wrong
Somebody let me know
I love you more than life itself
Oh, how can I let you go?

I'm still gonna need you
For ever more
For ever more
For ever more

So many times I've thought about
You and yesterday
The things we did the hopes we had
The friends we used to make

But they're gone gone gone gone

I'm still gonna need you
For ever more

For ever more
For ever more
For ever more
...


22.Puppy Love

Lyricist:Paul Anka

And they called it puppy love
Oh, I guess they'll never know
How a young heart really feels
And why I love her so

And they called it puppy love
Just because we're in our teens
Tell them all, please tell them it isn't fair
To take away my only dream

I cry each night my tears for you
My tears are all in vain
I'll hope and I'll pray that maybe someday
You'll be back, in my arms once again

Someone, help me, help me, help me please
Is the answer up above
How can I, oh, how can I tell them?
This is not a puppy love

Someone, help me, help me, help me please
Is the answer up above
How can I, oh, how can I tell them?
This is not a puppy love

Not a puppy love, ooh


23.The Twelfth of Never

Lyricist:Jerry Livingston, Paul Francis Webster

You ask how much I need you
Must I explain?
I need you, oh my darlin', like roses need rain

You ask how long I'll love you
I'll tell you true
Until the twelfth of never, I'll still be loving you

Hold me close, never let me go
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow

I'll love you 'til the blue bells forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you 'til the poets run out of rhyme

Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time

That's a long, long time
That's a long, long time
