"Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer"
(feat. Kenny Rogers)



[Kenny:]
Just look at you sitting there
You never looked better than tonight
And it'd be so easy to tell ya I'd stay
Like I've done so many times

[Kim:]
I was so sure this would be the night
You'd close the door and want to stay with me
And it'd be so easy to tell ya I'll stay
Like I've done so many times

[Both:]
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll break you every time

[Kim:]
Oh, put out the light

[Kenny:]
Just hold on

[Both:]
Before we say goodbye

[Kim:]
Now it's mornin' and the phone rings
And you say you've gotta get your things together
You just gotta leave before ya change your mind

[Kenny:]
And if ya knew what I was thinkin', girl
I'd turn around if you'd just ask me one more time

[Both:]
Don't fall in love with a dreamer

[Kim:]
'Cause he'll always take you in

[Both:]
Just when you think you've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer

[Kenny:]
'Cause he'll break you every time

[Kim:]
Ooooooh, put out the light

[Kenny:]
Just hold ooon

[Both:]
Before we say goodbye
Before we say goodbye
Goodbye

"Don't Pick The Phone (Pick Up The Phone)"


I have got this friend
She's looking all over town
And she just can't imagine why
She can't find anyone
And when she finds a good boy
She pulls the rope too tight
And then she sends them all out
Screaming in the night

854-7256
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't let 'em know
That you're home alone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't let 'em know
That you're all alone

I have got this friend
She travels 'round the sun
She's just looking for the magic
She's just trying to find someone
And when she finds a good boy
She pulls the rope too tight
And then she sends them all out
Screaming in the night

854-7256
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't let 'em know
That you're home alone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't let 'em know
That you're all alone

I have got this friend
She's looking all over town
And she just can't imagine why
She can't find anyone

854-7256
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't let 'em know
That you're home alone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't let 'em know
That you're all alone
Don't pick it up just because you're all alone

"Draw Of The Cards"

"Draw Of The Cards"


Sleight of hand
Hands of Fate
Chance you take
Life's a snake

And it's all in the draw of the cards

Lightnin' strike
Breath of life
Red black or white
Watch 'em fall

And it's all in the draw of the cards
And it's all in the draw of the cards

Drop the cards
Watch the eyes
Down and dirty
Let 'em ride

Boulevard
Small cafe
Cavaliers
Pass the day

The joker laughs
From the street
Weaves his web
Bittersweet

Ace is high
Deuce is low
Take the first
The rest should go

And it's all in the draw of the cards
And it's all in the draw of the cards

"Fantastic Fire Of Love"

"Fantastic Fire Of Love"


Honey let's take a photograph
One of just me an you
Cause no one ever makes me smile
The way that you do

We could make it into an 8x10
And hang it up on my wall
And it you wanted to sign it with all my love
Honey I won't mind at all

Straight into the fire
The fantastic fire of love
I can feel the flame getting higher
Oh sweet fantastic fire of love

Now honey let's buy and rocket
And ride it to the moon
Wouldn't take much
We'd just live on love
Life in a silver spoon

We could buy a yacht that don't cost a lot
Sail it to the end of the sea
Wouldn't need a crew
Cause I'd have you
Holding on tight to me

Straight into the fire
The fantastic fire of love
I can feel the flame getting higher
Oh sweet fantastic fire of love

You just really crept up on me
I never saw you coming
Well I tried to yell I tried to scream
But just stop short of running
We can call it lust you can call it luck
Call it anything you like
Its fiery hot and honey I've been caught
And I just want you tonight

Straight into the fire
The fantastic fire of love
I can feel the flame getting higher
Oh sweet fantastic fire of love

Straight into the fire
The fantastic fire of love
I can feel the flame getting higher
Oh sweet fantastic fire of love

"Get Busy"

"Get Busy"


I couldn't believe it things get better while we're sleeping
Stop! you got to care that would like ours is a world worth keeping
Too late to put your head in the sand
It's really not so hard to understand
And I won't go away
There's no tomorrow if we don't act today

Get busy right away
It won't wait another day
Get busy right away
It won't wait another day

Provocation is a danger
Procrastination is a killer
Stop! Drop the gun you're the hunter
Then you'll be the hunted one

Too late to say that you're away
Too late to look away love is everywhere
Can't hide it won't go away
There's no tomorrow if we don't act today

Get busy right away
It can't wait another day
Get busy right away
It won't wait another day

Take a listen at your voice coming through the wall
Send a message across the sea
Start with you start with me

Too late to put your head in the sand
It's really not so hard to understand
And I won't go away
There's no tomorrow if we don't act today

Get busy right away
It can't wait another day
Get busy right away
It won't wait another day

Get busy right away
It can't wait another day
Get busy right away
It won't wait another day

Get busy right away

"Good Old Days"

"Good Old Days"


Good old days are ridin' on my mind
Flowing freely like a good time
Good old days and it's nice to have a friend
So we'll just sit and rock awhile
Me and my baby love to smile
We got it good we got it made
And we love these good old days

Good old days wring 'em out and let 'em dry
Paste 'em in a picture book when we got the time
Big Ben roll ahead and leave us here behind
And we'll just sit and rock awhile
Me and my baby love to smile
We got it good we got it made
And we love these good old days

Like summer leaves the grapes on the vine
Each day leaves the last behind
And when we find that now is then
We'll play the record once again

Good old days thank you for the ride
'cause the laughin's free and we're slidin' all the way
I said Big Ben roll ahead and leave us here behind
And we'll just sit and rock awhile
Me and my baby love to smile
We got it good we got it made
And we love these good old days

Like summer leaves the grapes on the vine
Each day leaves the last behind
And when we find that now is then
We'll play the record once again

"Goodnight Moon"

"Goodnight Moon"


Navy blue sky outside my green room
Apple of my eye
Left way too soon
Got the window open
And I can see the sky
Goodnight room
Goodnight moon

Goodnight moon
You're a good night moon
Goodnight moon
Keep shinin' on me
And everyone you see

Night bloomin' jasmine
Is so sweet to me
I'm as sleepy as I ever have been
But I just can't sleep
Everything's so quiet
Guess I'll just close my eyes
For awhile for awhile

Goodnight moon
You're a good night moon
Goodnight moon
Keep shinin' on me
And everyone you see

Hey goodnight to you out there
Goodnight children everywhere
You're a good night moon
See ya real soon
Goodnight room
Goodnight moon

"Gypsy Honeymoon"

"Gypsy Honeymoon"


Outta her head
And outta her dreams
There he was just the way she's seen him
Lookin' at her a thousand times before

Said I can't believe
It's been five long years
Cause tonight they just seen to disappear
You still look the same
You haven't changed at all

She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again
Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
Cause we're hot as a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

He said I still remember
Her sweet perfume
When it filled his head
And it rocked the room
They walked the wire of passion
So alive

It's hard to hold on
In these times
Did one of us change
Was it yours or mine
You just can't imagine
How lonely I've been

Huh, take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again
Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
Cause we're hot as a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

We chase our hearts like open fires
Give ourselves to old desires
Surrender sweet
And here we go again

She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again
Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
Cause we're hot as a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

"Hang On To Your Airplane (Honeymoon)"

"Hang On To Your Airplane (Honeymoon)"


Line up your hood ornament with the highway honey
Turn on your radio they'll be playing our song
Congratulations are over we're heading for clover
Chasin' the big time being young

(And you gotta)
Hang on to your airplane honey
Let it lift you up don't let it hang you in the sky
Life is like a fast train comin'
Catch you standin' still
It'll pass you by

Some folks just sit around the house and do nothing
Some people can't lose some people can't win
There's a man on the street
He got something to sell you
Listen to his story
Don't let him take you in

(And you gotta)
Hang on to your airplane honey
Let it lift you up don't let it hang you in the sky
Life is like a fast train comin'
Catch you standin' still
It'll pass you by

No matter were you stand there's another side
And I wanna find it with you
Rockin' the boat still keep it afloat
Honeymoon me and I'll honeymoon you

When we're much older and the world's on our shoulders
I wanna be glad for all that we've done
I'll sit beside you sweet lullaby you
Livin' in our dreams still being young

(And you gotta)
Hang on to your airplane honey
Let it lift you up don't let it hang you in the sky
Life is like a fast train comin'
Catch you standin' still
It'll pass you by

"Hangin' On By A Thread (A Sad Affair Of The Heart)"

"Hangin' On By A Thread (A Sad Affair Of The Heart)"


A familiar story
A sad affair of the heart
We spend all this time
Trying to find
The glow in the dark

Gentle changes
The eyes still look the same
A familiar heartbeat
I go weak
When you walk in

I'm hangin' on by a thread
Too many voices in my ear
Too many memories locked in here
I'm hangin' on by a thread
Too many voices in my ear
We hurt each other
And wonder why
We lie broken in two

I was dreamin'
You were here with me
And through a open window
We could look through
Straight to the sea

I'm hangin' on by a thread
Too many voices in my ear
Too many memories locked in here
I'm hangin' on by a thread
Too many voices in my ear
We hurt each other
And wonder why
We lie broken in two

And if I lose you now
Lose you now
