"I Wanna Be Free"

"I Wanna Be Free"

I wanna be free
Like the bluebirds flying by me
Like the waves out on the blue sea
If your love has to tie me, don't try me
Say good-bye

I wanna be free
Don't say you love me say you like me
But when I need you beside me
Stay close enough to guide me, confide in me
Oh-oh-oh

I wanna hold your hand
Walk along the sand
Laughing in the sun
Always having fun
Doing all those things
Without any strings
To tie me down

I wanna be free,
Like the warm September wind, babe
Say you'll always be my friend, babe
We can make it to the end, babe
Again, babe, I gotta say:
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free

"I Won't Be The Same Without Her"

"I Won't Be The Same Without Her"

Life is hard for me to touch now.
I just don't enjoy it as much now.
When she left, something inside of me died.
And I won't be the same without her,
No I won't be the same without her
By my side.

There's no end end to my sorrow.
I'm afraid to face tomorrow.
When she left, she took much more than my pride.
And I won't be the same without her,
No I won't be the same without her
By my side.

It isn't easy to forget her,
And the way it used to be.
She changed my life the day I met her.
And I won't be the same without her,
No I won't be the same without her
Close to me.

[Repeat first verse.]

"I'll Be Back Upon My Feet"

"I'll Be Back Upon My Feet"

Girl, I know the grass is greener, just around the bend.
Got to say, "Goodbye!" but don't you fear.
Though the road is dark and I might fail to find the end
I won't disappear.

I'll be back upon my feet.
I'll be back upon my feet.
Chase the moon and sun to find my one and only you.
I'll be back upon my feet.
I'll be back upon my feet.
Looking high, I'm looking low.
When I find my boots I know I got to go.

Maybe I will be a star, or maybe just a clown.
Girl, I'll never know until I try.
Maybe I will meet a girl who'll try to keep me down.
But you don't have to cry.

"I'll Be True To You (Yes, I Will)"

"I'll Be True To You (Yes, I Will)"

I'll be true to you, yes I will.
I'll be true to you, yes I will.
I won't look twice when the other girls go by.
I'll be true to you, yes I will.

Somehow this time it's all so clear to me.
The way to go is easy to see.
My heart is sure you're the girl I've waited for.
And I'll be true to you, yes I will.

I used to be the kind,
Who said that ev'ry girl's the say
And love was just a game for having fun,
But when I looked at you,
I knew that I was wrong
And that I really could belong to only one.

I'll be true to you, yes I will.
Ev'ry dream that you have, I'll fulfill.
I never promised this to anyone before
But I'll be true to you, yes I will.
Yes, I'll be true to you, yes I will.

"I'll Spend My Life With You"

"I'll Spend My Life With You"

People come and people go
Movin' fast and movin' slow
I'm in a crowd yet I'm all alone
The road is long the road is rough
I do believe I've had enough
I'm gonna turn around and head for home.

And I hope you're there
And you still care
And if you do,
I'll spend my life with you.

I've had all the time I need
To rearrange my mind and lead
The life I thought I wanted yesterday
I played a game that couldn't last
And now some mem'ries from the past
Have turned my thoughts around a different way.

And girl, I find
You're still on my mind.
And if you want me to
I'll spend my life with you.

[Instrumental]

And girl, I find
You're still on my mind.
And if you want me to
I'll spend ny life with you.

"I'm A Believer"

"I'm A Believer"

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain.

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

"If I Ever Get To Saginaw Again"

"If I Ever Get To Saginaw Again"

If I ever get to Saginaw again,
A locale that's somewhat off the beaten track.
Get to see the girl I never saw again
Who must know why I have never ventured back.
We we young,
And so alive
And now I wonder if she'd cling to me,
Become my very own as she did then,
If I ever get to Saginaw again.

If I ever get to Saginaw again,
It won't be in Spring with meadows turning green.
It won't be to tangle with the law again.
And it won't be with someone one only seventeen,
Who gave her love,
And made me hers.
And when you find the one you're dreaming of
Who thinks to ask, "How old is love?",
Not "when"
You may never get to Saginaw again.

If I ever get to Saginaw again
I will get to see son who bears my name.
And perhaps I'll quietly withdraw again
When I see the little man that he became.
And how I yearn
To watch him grow.
A father's love is maybe all it takes
To not repeat those sad mistakes of men
If I ever get to Saginaw again.

"If I Knew"

"If I Knew"

If I knew what was bothering you
I would run to your side
I don't know why
I would just die if you left me

Can't you see
What you're doing to me
Are you playing a game
Is it always the same
Am I to blame?
Or is anyone?

I don't want to settle down
With any other girl, but you
So I'm just gonna wait around
'Til you decide what you're gonna do

Can't you see
What you're doing to me?
Are you playing a game?
It's always the same?
Am I to blame?
Or is anyone?

I don't wanna settle down
With any other girl, but you
So I'm just gonna wait around
'Til you decide what you're gonna do

"If You Have The Time"

"If You Have The Time"

If you have the time would you keep me in mind
Mind you, I only want to treat you kind
If you're all alone, would you pick up the phone
And dial the number that you know
Will bring back the glow
That's been gone for such a long, long time
I feel like I'm just acting like a fool,
Talking to my pillow, once a happy fellow was I
I know that I'll get over you if I have to, but do I have to?
I don't want to spend another day being so far away
From the girl that I love

It's been gone for such a long, long time
I feel like I'm just acting like a fool,
Talking to my pillow, once a happy fellow was I
I know that I'll get over you if I have to, but do I have to?
I don't want to spend another day being so far away
From the girl that I love

If you have the time would you keep me in mind
Mind you, I only want to treat you kind
If you're all alone, would you pick up the phone
And dial the number that you know
Will bring back the glow
That's been gone for such a long, long time

"It's Got To Be Love"

"It's Got To Be Love"

I held you tight, and we fell, life took a breath
Made me weep, blanket kissed your lips
And I know that it tasted just like it felt
I'd never see all this happen to me
But it feels like love, makes me weep like love
And it tastes just like it's got to be love
Oh it's in the air, I feel it everywhere
I'm so happy 'cause I know it's got to be love
No two ways about it, it's got to be love

I look at you, and it looks like it when you talk
Oh it sounds like it deep inside
All my thoughts and my heart say it's so
Still I've got to be sure 'cause I've been fooled before
But it looks like love and it sounds like love
And my heart tells me it's got to be love
Oh it's in the air, I feel it everywhere
I'm so happy 'cause I know it's got to be love
No two ways about it, it's got to be love
