"Think About You"

"Think About You"



When I'm walking down the streets and I feel it start to rain
I don't run for cover, I look up again and it's blue-
I just have to think about you!!
When the road is getting rocky, all the seas getting rock
No matter what the trouble, it isn't very tough to get through
Through-
I just have to think about you!!

Like the rain or sunshine breaking through the stormy weather
Every time my heart beats I remember that you're mine
Then I'm fine
When the world feels fast and my life feels slow
When I'm feeling way down, suddenly I know what to do-
I just have to think about you!!
I'm taking!
Like the rain or sunshine breaking through the stormy weather
Breaking through

Every time my heart beats I remember that you're mine
Then I'm fine, so fine
I believe in magic and I do believe in love
So without going to cast a spell
There's a little trick that I do-
I just have to think about you!!
Yeah it's true
Shoo-
I just have to think about you!!
Think about you!
So I do
Do-
I'm always going to think about
You!
I think about you!
Always going to think about, think about
Always going to think about
Always going to think about you!
Always going to think about, think about
Always going to think about, think about you!

"Think It Over"

"Think It Over"


Think it over what you just said.
Think it over in your pretty little head.
Are you sure that I'm not the one?
Is your love real or only fun?
Think it over, just think it over.
My lonely heart grows cold and old.

Think it over and let me know.
Think it over and don't be slow.
Just remember all birds and bees
Go by two's through life's mysteries.
Think it over, yes just think it over.
My lonely heart grows cold and old.

[Chorus:]
Think it over (over and over).
Think it over (over and over).
Think it over (over and over).
Think it over (over and over).
Think it over, just think it over.
My lonely heart grows cold and old.

All right, all right.

Think it over and think of me.
Think it over and you will see
The happy day when you and I
Think as one and kiss the bkues goodbye.
Think it over, just think it over.
My lonely heart grows cold and old.

[Chorus 2x]

"This Be Called A Song"

"This Be Called A Song"



(Na-na-na, na-na-na
na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na)

Stand over me,
Look out for me,
Help me write this song for you.
If you split me,
Don't you take too long,
Just get thee gone.

This be called a song,
This be called a song,
This be called a song,
Song -.

Let your umbrella
Be your friend,
Pitch a tent in your mind for me.
It's all for you,
It's just the road that i need,
Behind it's just a sign.

This be called a song,
This be called a song,
This be called a song.

Na-na-na, na-na-na,
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na.

(na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-)

It's getting closer every day,
And we got to see it through this time,
Is the time to find out if it's true,
What i've said to you.

This be called a song,
This be called a song,
This be called a song,
This be called a song.

This be called a song, (ooh, ooh, ooh)
This be called a song, (ooh, ooh, ooh)
This be called a song, (oh, oh, oh)
This be called a song. (oh, oh, oh)

This be called a song, (ooh, ooh, ooh)
This be called a song.

"Time"

"Time"



Time waits for nobody
And nobody waits for time
Life is for the living
All we have to do is shine.

Forget about yesterday
This is the best day of your life
You better not fade away
Today is the best day of our life, alright.

I've seen a lot of joy
I've seen a lot of pain
Things I've had to go through
To get back on track again.

Now I can forget about yesterday
This is the best day of our life
I'm glad you didn't fade away
Today is the best day of our life, alright.

People have their problems
I know it's true
I have mine, you have yours
But I'll be there, yes, I'll be there for you.
Starkey-Stewart

Time waits for nobody
And nobody waits for time
Life is for the living
All we have to do is shine.

Forget about yesterday
This is the best day of your life
You better not fade away
Today is the best day of our life, alright.

I've seen a lot of joy
I've seen a lot of pain
Things I've had to go through
To get back on track again.

Now I can forget about yesterday
This is the best day of our life
I'm glad you didn't fade away
Today is the best day of our life, alright.

People have their problems
I know it's true
I have mine, you have yours
But I'll be there, yes, I'll be there for you.

"Tonight"

"Tonight"



I can feel your breath on my face,
But i still wanna turn on the light.
Is it really you here with me tonight?
Is it really you here with me tonight?

I can't believe it,
It feels so right.
I keep on pinching myself
But i keep on holding you tight.
Is it really you here with me tonight?

When i wake up in the morning,
It sure gonna seem like a dream.
There's only one chance
I know this is going on,
That's when i can see you lying next to me.

Is it really you here with me tonight?

I can't believe it,
It feels so right.
I can feel your breath on my face,
But i still want to turn on the light.
Is it really you here,
Is it really you here,
Is it really you here with me tonight?
Is it really you here with me tonight?

Now, listen, sugar.

Is it really you here with me tonight?
Is it really you here with me tonight?
Is it really you here with me tonight?
(is it really you here with me tonight?)

"Trippin' On My Own Tears"
(feat. Shawn Colvin)

"Trippin' On My Own Tears"
(feat. Shawn Colvin)



We were once upon a time
Then your love disappeared
You can't help crying
When you love something so dear
There's a mile of heartache that I had to cross
Face down, longing for the love I lost
I can't help wonderin'
How I ended up here.

So I cried so hard
I was trippin' on my own tears.

What was so confusing
Is now becoming so clear
She tried to tell me
What I never wanted to hear
It don't matter if the sun does shine
It's always clouded know that you're not mine
For one foolish moment
Won't you forgive me dear.

So I cried so hard
I was trippin' on my own tears.

Why you can't that I'm dying?
I'm not a saint, but god I'm trying, trying.

It don't matter
If you're wrong or wright
When you're walking the floor
And you're up all the night
I'll wait for you
If it takes a millions years.

Well I cried so hard
I was trippin' on my own tears

"Tuff Love"

"Tuff Love"



A little bit of love a little bit of love
Is not enough but it's not to tuff
To give a little bit of love a little bit of happiness
To give a little smile if only for a while

Sitting by the river watching my life go by
I can be bigger but it's up for me to try
Now its time to make up my mind

A little bit of peace, a little bit of peace
Is not enough but it's not to tuff
To give a little bit of hope settle for nothing less
In your heart that's where you gotta start

It's really just a moment everything you're going through
If you ever need me I'll be there for you
Now its time to make up your mind

(Tuff love)

The love in your heart wasn't put there to stay
Now love is enough 'til you give it away
So why don't we start giving today

A little more light that's what love will bring
A little more joy a little less suffering
A little more hope will get you through
A little more truth inside of you
A little more love a little bit of peace
Is not enough but it's not too tuff
To give a little love a little bit of happiness
A little bit of hope settle for nothing less
And now its time to make up your mind
And now its time to make up your mind
And now its time to make up your mind
And now its time to make up your mind

"Turnaround"

"Turnaround"


How thick can you be?
Lost in the dreamery
Pick your own reality

How many versions do you need?
How low can you go?
Hear the devil say hello

If you light the fuse, don't you know
Like moby dick...there she blows

[Chorus:]
Somewhere out there you can find it anywhere
Uptown downtown you've got to find the turnaround

Don't tell me what to say
I'm gonna say it anyway
Black and blue or shades of gray
Find the middle s'il vous plait

How do you get to sleep?
With the promises you never keep
The hill you're on is mighty steep
But it's all right

[Chorus]

You draw your own conclusion
Reality or illusion
Stop the chaos and confusion
Get yourself a life transfusion

[Chorus]

"Vertical Man"

"Vertical Man"



When the world is coming down on you
And your back's against the wall,
Change the glass that you've been looking through,
It's really half full after all.

If you feel like giving up, (giving up)
If you feel you've had enough,
Let it go,
Don't you know
You can come and kick the bottom out, (bottom out)
Stomp your feet, scream and shout, let it go, let it go.

It's bever quite as bad as you think it is,
'Cause ev'ry bad day turns around. (round, round, round)
Forgive yourself for all the things you did,
The vertical man don't lay down. (down, down, down, down, down)

If you feel like giving up, (giving up)
If you feel like you've had enough,
Let it go,
Don't you know
Come on - kick the bottom out, (bottom out)
Stomp your feet, scream and shout, let it go, let it go.

And when the sun comes shining through for you,
You'll discover even rainbows have the blues.
Yes, i know, it's not news to you,
Am i getting through to you?

If you feel like giving up,
Don't you know, life is tough
Let it go, don't you know?
Come on, kick the bottom out,
Scream and shout, let it go, let it go.

When you feel like giving up, (giving up)
When you feel like you've had enough,
Let it go, let it go.

Oo-oo, let it go,
Oo-oo, let it go,
Kick the bottom out, scream and shout.
Oo-oo, let it go,
Kick the bottom out, stomp your feet, scream and shout. (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Kick the bottom out, stomp your feet, scream and shout. (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Kick the bottom out, stomp your feet, scream and shout. (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Kick the bottom out, stomp your feet, scream and shout. (it's up to you)
Kick the bottom out,
Kick the bottom out,
Kick the bottom out.

Ah -

Scream and shout! Oh!
(it's the vertical man - the vertical man- out!)
(it's the vertical man - the vertical man- out!)
(it's the vertical man - the vertical man- out!)
(it's the vertical man - the vertical man- out!)
(it's the vertical man - the vertical man- out!)
(it's the vertical man)
(out!)
