"When You're Not Trying To"

"When You're Not Trying To"



Let me try to explain
It's not the roses or champagne
That really touch my heart
How can I make you see
That you're the best at loving me
When you don't know you are

Baby it's the way that you reach out while you're sleepin'
And gently hold my hand the whole night through
It's how you listen when I'm pouring out my feelings
Baby when I feel the most from you
Is when you're not tryin' to

You don't need to rehearse
Some sweet romantic words
To whisper in my ear
So just forget the poetry
What comes naturally
Is what I long to hear

Baby it's the way that you reach out while you're sleepin'
And gently hold my hand the whole night through
It's how you listen when I'm pouring out my feelings
Baby when I feel the most from you
Is when you're not tryin' to

It's in your eyes
And in your smile
In the passion of your kiss
It's takin' me in your arms so easily
So easily

It's how you listen when I'm pourin' out my feelings
Baby when I feel the most from you
Is when you're not tryin' to

"Where You End And I Begin"

"Where You End And I Begin"



I guess I'm just one of those
Who believes there has to be a reason
For living and breathing
Every time you pull me close
Something tells me there'll be no more reaching
You're everything I'm needing
Oh, I don't know how it happened, I never thought I would
Find someone to complete me
Oh, I just can't explain it, this feeling that I get
Oh, ain't no way to name it, but I'm thinking baby

Maybe it's the way you look at me
Like there'll never be another
I get swept away, baby when
We get so caught up in each other
I don't know where you end and I begin
Where you end and I begin

All it takes is just one kiss
I just wanna get lost in this emotion
Like the river and the ocean
Oh, when you wrap your arms around me, it happens every time
Time don't seem to matter
We'll always be together, I don't know what it is
That tells me it's forever
But I'm thinking baby

Maybe it's the way you look at me
Like there'll never be another
I get swept away, baby when
We get so caught up in each other
I don't know where you end and I begin
Where you end and I begin

"Who?"

"Who?"



Who...who's gonna love ya like I do
Who...who ya gonna find that can do the things that I do
Before you say goodbye
You better think about it one more time
And tell me who...who ever held you any tighter
Who...who ya gonna find that can take you any higher
Before you put me down
You better stop and look around
And tell me who...who-who

Well you might just find a match that can kindle your desires
But what good is just one candle
When what you need is fires

And tell me who...who-who-who
Who...who-who/who...who-who

Before I let you go
One thing I've got to know
So tell me who
Who's gonna love ya like I do
Who...who-Who
Who you gonna find that can do the things that I do
Who...who-Who
Who ever held you any tighter
Who...who-Who
Who ya gonna find that can do the things that I do

"Whoever's In New England"

"Whoever's In New England"



You spend an awful lot of time in Massachutes
Seems Like every other week you've got a meeting waiting there
Business must be booming or could something else
Be moving in the air up there

You say that its important for our future
An executive on his way up has got to play the part
Each time duty calls you got to give it all
You've got with all your heart

When whoever's in New England is through with you
And Boston finds better things to do
You know its not too late 'cause you'll always have a place to go
When whoever's in New Englands through with you

I hear the winter time up north can last forever
Ive been told its beautiful to see this time of year
They say the snow can blind you till the world you left behind
Just disappears I hear

I packed your bags and left them in the hallway
But before you leave again theres just one thing you outta know
When the icy winds blow through you remember that its me
Who feels the cold most of all

When whoever's in New England is through with you
And Boston finds better things to do
You know its not too late 'cause you'll always have a place to go
When whoever's in New Englands through with you

"Whoever's Watchin'"

"Whoever's Watchin'"



I'm not wasting my time on earthly longing
Let that glory leave me be
I'm just tasting my life story
Just a page in history

Whoever's watching
Must be watching over me
Whoever's watching
Must be watching over me

Well I'm not hurting like I used to
I got lucky can't you see
Love came searching
It could choose you
Love's the greatest victory

Whoever's watching
Must be watching over me
Whoever's watching
Must be watching over me

I always look to the sky
And held my head high
Had to be what I had to be
Till the day that I die
Yes I wonder why
Somebody's watching
Watching over me

Whoever's watching
Must be watching over me

Well if you know me
You know I've squandered
Everything that's dear to me
Still I stand here in total wonder
How it's all come back to me

Whoever's watching
Must be watching over me
Whoever's watching
Must be watching over me

Whoever's watching
Must be watching over me

"Whose Heartache Is This Anyway"

"Whose Heartache Is This Anyway"



Don't tell me that time will ease the pain
Don't tell me the sunshines after the rain
Don't sit there and tell me
I'll love again someday
Whose heartache is this anyway

Don't say that all things happen
For the best
And don't talk of silver linings
Don't tell me I'll forget
Don't say don't you worry
Cause everything will be OK
Whose heartache is this anyway

Cause I'm not in the mood for sympathy
At least not from the one who's leaving me
So don't try to make it easy
Don't search for words to say
Whose heartache is this anyway

Well you say that'll always care for me
That I'll always be special
Well that's not what I need
So why don't you just go now
You've done enough today
And whose heartache is this anyway

Cause I'm not in the mood for sympathy
At least not from the one who's leaving me
So don't try to make it easy
Don't search for words to say
Whose heartache is this anyway

Why don't you just go now
You've done enough today
And whose heartache is this anyway

"Why Can't He Be You"

"Why Can't He Be You"



He takes me to the places you and I use to go
He tells me over and over that he loves me so
He gives me love that I never got from you
He loves me too

His love is true
But why can't he be you
He never fails to call and tell me I'm on his mind
And I'm lucky to have such a guy I hear it all the time
And he does all the things that you would never do

He loves me too
His love is true
But why can't he be you
Oh he's not the one who dominates my mind and my soul

And I should love him so cuz he loves me I know
But his kisses leave me cold
He sends me flowers
Calls on the hour
Just to prove his love
And my friends say that when he's around
I'm all he speaks of
And he does all the things that you would never do

He loves me too
His love is true
But why can't he be you

"Why Do We Want (What We Know We Can't Have)"

"Why Do We Want (What We Know We Can't Have)"



Some come for the music
Some for romance
You gotta be with the boy that brought you to the dance
Then across the room comes a casual glance
And you be making some dime even half the chance

Now some like to look
And some like to touch
All the things that they can't have
Way too much
Some like to get real close to the flame
once you feel the heat
You know they're never the same

Why do we want
What we know we can't have
Why don't we want
What's in the palm of our hands
Why we always looking
At what's just out of our grasp
Why do we want
What we know we can't have

Well Susie was out driving her new corvette
She hadn't made that second payment yet
She rear ended a Semi
But not by choice
She was a rubbernecking a new Rolls Royce

Why do we want
What we know we can't have
Why don't we want
What's in the palm of our hands
Why we always looking
At what's just out of our grasp
Why do we want
What we know we can't have

Why do we want
What we know we can't have
Why don't we want
What's in the palm of our hands
Why we always looking
At what's just out of our grasp
Why do we want
What we know we can't have

"Why Haven't I Heard From You"

"Why Haven't I Heard From You"



Back in 1876 an ol' boy named Bell
Invented a contraption that we know so well
By the 1950's they were in everybody's home
As a crazy little thing they call the telephone
Now there's one on every corner, in the back of every bar
You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane or in your car

So tell me why, haven't I heard from you
Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
I say now: Darlin', honey, what is your excuse
Why haven't I heard from you

Well there's no problem gettin' to me
Baby you can dial direct
I got call forwarding and call waiting
You can even call collect
The service man he told me that my phone is working fine
And I've come to the conclusion trouble isn't with my line
I'm sure the operator will be glad to put you thru
So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you

So tell me why, haven't I heard from you
Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
I say now: Darlin', honey, what is your excuse
Why haven't I heard from you

There better been a flood, a landslide of mud
A fire that burns up the wires
And a thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud
A natural disaster I know nothin' about

So tell me why, haven't I heard from you
Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
I say now: Darlin', honey, what is your excuse
Why haven't I heard from you

So tell me why, haven't I heard from you
Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
I say now: Darlin', honey, what is your excuse
Why haven't I heard from you

"Why Not Tonight"

"Why Not Tonight"



Well pardon me but you have my attention
Ever since you strolled into the room
Believe me that it's not my intention
If I appear to come on too smooth

It's not like me to make such advances
But this time baby I could not resist
So if you're up for taking a chance on love
I can't see a better time than this

So baby why not tonight
This could be the start of something right
Hey you can take it easy
We can take it so slow
We can take it anywhere that you'd like to go
So baby why not tonight
The stars are out and I'm sure they'll agree
Oh it's a perfect night for falling in love
So why not fall in love with me

Oh maybe we could go out for some dinner
And later on how we could do the town
Ya know I consider myself a winner
Just to have a boy like you around

Then if you're up for doing some dancing
Yeah I know a place they dance until the dawn
Anything you like will be alright
So why not take a chance and come along

So baby why not tonight
This could be the start of something right
Hey you can take it easy
We can take it so slow
We can take it anywhere that you'd like to go
So baby why not tonight
The stars are out and I'm sure they'll agree
Oh it's a perfect night for falling in love
So why not fall in love with me
Why not fall in love, why not fall in love, baby why not fall in love with me
