"Not Tonight"

"Not Tonight"



You've been there from day one
You've been there since my life's just begun
I don't know just how to explain
How I feel about you, I feel about you

Girl, don't get on that train
And don't get on that plane
Baby, not tonight
Baby, not tonight

'Cause I'm in love with you
And I swear, you know it's true
Baby, not tonight

And I'd never go and leave you
That's one thing about me
I'll never go and deceive you
No, no, no

I'd never go and bring you
And then turn and go away from you
Away from you

Don't get on the train
Don't get on the train
Baby, not tonight
Baby, not tonight

Listen, I'm in love with you
And I swear, you know it's true
Baby, not tonight

Take my advice
Don't you never, never
Never, never, never
Think about it twice
All my life, all my life
One more time

Take my advice
Don't think about it twice tonight

Don't get on that train
Don't you dare get on that train
Baby, not tonight
Baby, not tonight

I'm in love with you
And I swear this love is true
Baby, not tonight

Don't get on that train
Don't get on that plane
Baby, not tonight
Baby, not tonight

I'm in love with you
I swear, you know it's true
Baby, not tonight

Don't get on that train
Don't get on that plane
Baby, not tonight
Baby, not tonight

"Nothing Takes The Place Of You"

"Nothing Takes The Place Of You"



I moved your picture
From my walls
And I replaced them
Both large and small
And each new day
Finds me so blue
Nothing
Takes the place of you

I read your letters one by one
And I still love you
When it's all said and done
And oh, my darling, I'm so blue
Because nothing
Oh nothing
Takes the place of you

I, I write this letter
It's raining on my window pane
I, I feel the need of you
Because without you
Nothing seems the same

So I'll wait
Until you're home
Again I love you
But I'm all alone
And oh my darling
I'm so blue
Because nothing
Oh, but nothing takes the place of you.

"O Holy Night"

"O Holy Night"



Oh, Holy Night
The stars
Are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear
Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin
And error pining
'Til He appeared
And the soul felt
It's worth a thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new
And glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices

Oh, night divine
Oh, night
When Christ was born
Oh, night divine
Oh night
Oh, Holy night
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
When Christ was born
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
Oh, Holy night

"Oh Me, Oh My (Dreams In My Arms)"

"Oh Me, Oh My (Dreams In My Arms)"



I had a dream
Thinking that you were gone
Leaving me on my own

And you, you was there
In some other's arms
Giving away all my charms

And when I awake
I want to hear you
Filling my life with cheer

And when I come back
You won't be alone
Cause I'll be at home

Oh, me, oh, my
Dreams in my arms
With you at home with me

I'm so?
It was only a dream

Oh, me, oh, my
Dreams in my arms
Is all I have to hold
Since you've been gone

I can be so good to you
Help me, help me sing

Oh, me, oh, my
Dreams in my arms
Ever since you been gone
I'm glad it's only a dream

Let me say one thing
Oh, me, oh, my
Dreams in my arms
Is all I have to hold
Since you've been gone

Come on back home
Sometimes I dream
About you, baby

Oh, me, oh, my
Dreams in my arms
Ever since you been gone....

"Oh, Pretty Woman"
(originally by Roy Orbison)



Pretty woman, walking down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman, I don't believe you
You're not the truth, no one could look as good as you

Pretty woman, won't you pardon me?
Pretty woman, I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman, that you look lovely as can be
Now are you lonely just like me?

Pretty woman, stop awhile
Pretty woman, talk awhile
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
Please, baby
Pretty woman

Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
'Cause I need you
And I'll treat you right
Come to me, baby
Be mine tonight

Pretty woman, stop awhile
(I'm gonna stop awhile)
Pretty woman, talk awhile
(Please, baby)
Pretty woman, give your smile to me, please baby, baby
(I'm not asking very much, baby just a)

Pretty woman
Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, just give your smile to me
(Love me, love me, lady)
Pretty woman, stop awhile
Pretty woman, talk awhile
(Love me, love me, lady)

Pretty woman, give your smile to me
(Love me, lady, won't you stay with me?)
(Well, then let me say it again)
Pretty woman, stop awhile
(Although I just met you, baby)
Pretty woman, talk awhile
(You don't know how I'm feeling)
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
(I will take if you smile to me)

"One Nite Stand"

"One Nite Stand"



Well, you've taken everything we've got
Even the guitar and the band
They were makin' the right moves
Playin' in the blues like a light is at hand

Oh, get ready, ready for a one nite stand

Let me know who, big people in power

"One Woman"

"One Woman"



I find my way through the five o'clock rush hour
As daylight slowly leaves the sky
I open the door to that little room
That we call home

(And ooh yeah, now)
Her loving arms are there to greet me
Her tender lips are there to meet me
At the end of the day,
You know it's always been that way

(Ooh yeah, now)
And then I find my way through the early morning traffic
But someone else is heavy, heavy on my mind
I open the door to our favorite little coffee shop (ooh, ya'll)
The girl is right on time now (come on)

Her loving arms are there to greet me,
Her tender lips are there, always there to meet me.
And that's how I start my day
It's just too bad it doesn't end that way

(One woman's making my home)
One women's making my home
(But the other woman's making me wrong)
The other girl is making me do wrong
I didn't mean to let it get that strong, no baby
I got to decide where I belong.

(One woman's making my home)
Sometimes I get so mixed up inside
(But the other woman's making me wrong)
I wish I could find a place to hide
I didn't mean, I didn't mean
I didn't mean to let it get that strong, no girl
I got to decide, where I belong

(One woman's making my home)
Baby baby baby...

Another year has come and gone
As my love for you keeps on and on and on
You're perfect to me
No matter what others see,
You're everything that's on my mind

More than my eyes can see, Oh yah...
You know something you're the only thing that's on my mind
As long as I live,

I don't want you to forget that now
I'll always be 'round, I'll always be around close around here, Hey...

You're perfect to me
I don't care what anybody else sees... Oh no
You're the only thing that's on my mind
