1.Saturday Night
(Annie Roboff/Tim Nichols)
Every week it comes 'round
With a feel like New Year's Eve
Get dressed, de-stressed, tonight I couldn't care less
Take a look at me
So I put myself together
Paint my lips and lashes on
'Cause I know there's someone out there
Wantin' me to come along
It's the night of the week when my dreams hit the street
With boots and blue jeans on
Take a shot at romance, do I stand a chance
Will destiny be good to me
It's the thrill of the kiss that on
Monday I'll miss
When I look back and say
Well, oh my Lord you should have seen me Saturday
Saturday, Oh Saturday Night
Mary's got a Mustang
We all pile in
Downtown, top down, rockin' while we ride around
Let the night begin
I'm just searchin' for a dreamer
Who'll steal my heart away
Strong and shy with I dare you eyes
And a smile who lights the way
It's the night of the week when my dreams hit the street
With boots and blue jeans on
Take a shot at romance, do I stand a chance
Will destiny be good to me
It's the thrill of the kiss that on
Monday I'll miss
When I look back and say
Well, oh my Lord you should have seen me Saturday
Saturday, Oh Saturday Night
Five days out of seven slavin'
I need one that's just for me
It's the thrill of the kiss that on
Monday I'll miss
When I look back and say
Well oh my Lord you should have seen my Saturday
Oh Saturday, Saturday, Saturday,
Oh Saturday night
2.If Not You
(Tom Shapiro/George Teren)
I'll admit, I can be hard to please
Now and then I disagree just to disagree
There are times I want what I want 'cause I want it
There are things I don't know I have when I've got 'em
But when I look at you I ask myself
How could there be somebody else
If not you - who
Is ever gonna make me happy
If not love - what
Is it I feel for you
If I search the world
Over, under, still I wonder
Who would I be looking for -
yeah, who
If not you
When I'm stuck and feel locked up, you turn the key
You minimize all of my insecurities
You always seem to know what
I need when I need it
And when I say I need only you... believe it
Of all the may mysteries yet to come
I've solved the most important one
If not you - who
Is ever gonna make me happy
If not love - what
Is it I feel for you
If I search the world
Over, under, still I wonder
Who would I be looking for -
yeah, who
If not you
There are times I want what I want 'cause I want it
There are things I don't know
There are things I don't know
I have when I've got 'em
But when I look at you I ask myself
How could there be somebody else
If not you - who
Is ever gonna make me happy
If not love - what
Is it I feel for you
If I search the world
Over, under, still I wonder
Who would I be looking for -
yeah, who
If not you
If not you, if not you - who
3.That's The Way It Is
Everybody wants an easy ride on the merry-go-round that we call
life
Take a drive on cruise control, then you wake to find it's a
winding road
I had my dreams in view when the money ran out and the engine
blew
Hung my tears out to dry, then my dreams fell outta the clear
blue sky
And I, I was walking in the clouds feeling so safe and sound
'Til something else knocks me down
Chorus:
Oh and that's the way it is
You gotta roll with the punches
Oh and that's the way it goes
You gotta bend when the wind blows
You live, you learn
You crash, you burn
And that's the way it is
One fine day you wake up, completely, hopelessly fallen in love
He's just what you're looking for, the only problem is that the
man's not sure
Another guy will give you everything, the only problem is you
don't feel a thing
Well I know from experience, nothing's ever gonna make perfect
sense
Oh, one day you get what you want, but it's not what you think,
then you get what you need
Chorus:
Oh and that's the way it is
You gotta roll with the punches
Oh and that's the way it goes
You gotta bend when the wind blows
You live, you learn
You crash, you burn
And that's the way it is
Yea
They say your soul is growing
But sometimes I feel like throwing something
And that's they way it is
You gotta roll with the punches
And that's they way it goes
You gotta bend when the wind blows
Repeat chorus
4.Angeline
(Holly Lamar/Stephanie Bentley)
Angelene, she's such a pretty thing
All dolled up in her hip-huggin' jeans
Mama's heels and her ruby red rouge
Sneakin' out while her daddy's passed out
Hangin' out with the wrong crowd
She's got all the right moves
And she's givin' away little pieces of her innocence
She don't know what she;s lookin' for
She just knows something's missin'
Oh, Angelene, can't you see
What you need ain't what you're gettin'
Oh, Angelene, you're bein' used
Save some of that love for you,
Angelene
Angelene is sure that he's the cure
He's got a kind of reckless allure
Like a fast ride on the wild side
So she turns her cheek when he's havin' a mean streak
And if you ask her real sweet
She won't look you in the eye
And she's callin' it love, ah, but there is no resemblence
It's a drive down a dead end street on the path of most
resistance
Oh, Angelene, can't you see
What you need ain't what you're gettin'
Oh, Angelene, you're bein' used
Save some of that love for you,
Angelene
Yeah, she's givin' away little pieces of her innocence
She don't know what she's lookin' for
She just knows something's missin
Oh, Angelene, can't you see
What you need ain't what you're gettin'
Oh, Angelene, you're bein' used
Save some of that love for you,
Angelene
5.Nothing I Can Do
(Roy Hurd/Templeton Thompson)
Here I am beggin' you to hold me
When everything is tellin' me to run
I could turn around, leave this town
Without a sound and never say word one
And just call it done
But I'm torn right down the middle
I'm on both sides of the line
I know I should be leavin'
But the choice ain't mine
There's nothin' I can do
I can't fight it
I got a heart like a rocket
I just gotta ride it
Oh the cold, hard truth
When it comes to lovin' you
There's nothin' I can do
These footprints on my heart could
Tell a story - many times it's been a steppin' stone
It's been pushed around, broken down, until I found
I was better off alone, out on my own
I remember every heartache, just like it was yesterday
But baby when you hold me, you take all that pain away
There's nothin' I can do
I can't fight it
I got a heart like a rocket
I just gotta ride it
Oh the cold, hard truth
When it comes to lovin' you
There's nothin' I can do
I couldn't help myself from fallin'
Even if I really wanted to
There's nothin' I can do
I can't fight it
I got a heart like a rocket
I just gotta ride it
Oh the cold, hard truth
When it comes to lovin' you
There's nothin' I can do
6.These Are The Days
(Holly Lamar/Stephanie Bentley)
I wake up to the sunshine out my
window and the passin' sound of a homeless man
Singin' an ol' Cole Porter song
The faucet leaks, the TV's on the blink again
But my restless dreams are still intact
Even though it's takin' way too long
Got a hundred dollars in a coke tin on my shelf
And I'm thinkin' to myself, whoa
These are the days you will remember for the rest of your life
These are the memories you'll pack in a box and pull 'em out
sometimes
So pick your flowers, count the seconds, roll the dice
But baby, don't wait 'till its too late
Put a smile on your face
These are the days
Outside the people rush to get ahead for checks, promotions and
fancy cars
Happiness is just around the bend
Old Mrs. Jones sits out and suns her face, and as I walk by I
hear her say
This is as good as it gets
There goes the business suit who owns this whole damn block
His roller coaster never stops
I wanna say to him
These are the days you will remember for the rest of your life
These are the memories you'll pack in a box and pull 'em out
sometimes
So pick your flowers, count the seconds, roll the dice
But baby, don't wait 'till its too late
Put a smile on your face
These are the days
7.Downtime
(Phillip Coleman/Carolyn Dawn Johnson)
I haven't been myself these days according to friends
I tend to lose part of me when my heart's on the mend
I'll be alright it's safe to say
'Cause just like your love this is only a phase
Oh, I've been on this road a time or two, it's nothing new
I'll get on my feet and over you
I tell myself that everything will be just fine
I'm just going through a little down-time
Some might think I've gotten caught up in heartache's aftermath
But your memory's taken second to a good book and nice long bath
I must admit it threw me at first
But I'm convinced I'm over the worst
Oh, I've been on this road a time or two, it's nothing new
I'll get on my feet and over you
I tell myself that everything will be just fine
I'm just going through a little down-time
Time is meant to play the part
In taking care of broken hearts
Oh, I've been on this road a time or two, it's nothing new
I'll get on my feet and over you
I tell myself that everything will be just fine
I'm just going through a little down-time
I'm just going through a little down-time
8.Closer
(Aimee Mayo/Chris Lindsey/Marv Green)
I love the way you look at me
Can't you see
You're the only one that I could ever need?
Can't you feel how much
How much I wanna get
Maybe just a little, just a little bit
Closer
Closer than anything
Don't you wanna be?
Closer
Til there's nothing in between
You and me
I gotta make a secret confession
All I really want is all your affection
Get a little crasy every time we touch
Close as we are, we could get so much
Closer
Closer than anything
Don't you wanna be?
Closer
Til there's nothing in between
You and me
Baby don't you wanna get
Maybe just a little bit
Look into my eyes
Just get hypnotized
One little magic kiss
We could always feel like this
Come on over here and get
Closer
Closer
Closer than anything
Don't you wanna be?
Closer
Til there's nothing in between
You and me
Baby don't you wanna get
Maybe just a little
One little magic kiss
Look into my eyes
Just get hypnotized
Come on over here
9.Dare To Dream
(Adrienne Follese'/Jane Bach)
You and me baby, can meet for the weekend
To solidify our plans
We'll follow a jet stream to some place exotic
All in the name of romance...
'Cause
We're still young and in love
And we just believe
We can be strong and do anything
If we dare to dream
We'll find a place on a cliff by the ocean
And pay a couple months' rent
I'll sell my paintings down by the boardwalk
So we'll have enough money to spend...
Dare to dream, take it to the extreme
Let your heart and soul lead the way
Live, love, seize the day and
Dare to dream, dare to dream, dare to dream
Don't try to stop us, don't tell us we're crazy
You're only wasting your breath
We're bound and determined to make it all happen
It's just a matter of when
'Cause
Dare to dream, take it to the extreme
Let your heart and soul lead the way
Live, love, seize the day and
Dare to dream, dare to dream, dare to dream
10.Bring On The Rain
(Duet with Tim McGraw)
(Billy Montana/Helen Darling)
Another day has almost come and gone
Can't imagine what else could wrong
Sometimes I'd like to hide away somewhere and lock the door
A single battle lost but not the war ('cause)
Tomorrow's another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain
It's almost like the hard times circle 'round
A couple drops and they all start coming down
Yeah, I might feel defeated,
I might hang my head
I might be barely breathing - but I'm not dead
Tomorrow's another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain
I'm not gonna let it get me down
I'm not gonna cry
And I'm not gonna lose any sleep tonight
11.Burn
Do you want to be a poet and write...
Do you want to be an actor up in lights
Do you wanna be a solider -- and fight for love
Do you want to travel the world
Do you wanna be a diver for pearls
Or climb a mountain and touch the clouds above
Be anyone you want to be
Bring to life your fantasies
Chorus:
I want something in return
I want you to burn
Burn for me baby, like a candle in my night
12.That's The Way
(annie roboff/holly lamar)
Everybody wants an easy ride
On the merry-go-round that we call life
Take your drive on cruise control
Then you wait to find out it's a winding road
I had my dreams in view
When the money ran out and the engine blew
Hung my tears out to dry
Then my dreams fell out of that clear blue sky
And i, i was walkin' the clouds
Feelin' so safe and sound
Then somethin' else knocks me down
Well, oh, that's the way it is
You gotta roll with the punches
That's the way it goes
You gotta bend when the wind blows
You live you learn
You crash and burn
It's hit or miss
And that's the way it is
One fine day you wake up
Completely, hoplessly fallen in love
He's just what you're lookin' for
The only problem is, that the man's not sure
Another guy'll give you everything
The only problem is you don't feel a thing
Well i know from expirence
Nothin's ever gonna make perfect sense
Oh, one day you get what you want
But it's not what you think
Then you get what you need
Well, oh, that's the way it is
You gotta roll with the punches
That's the way it goes
You gotta bend when the wind blows
You live you learn
You crash and burn
It's hit or miss
And that's the way it is
Yeah they say your soul is growin'
But sometimes i feel like throwin' somethin'
Well, oh, that's the way it is
You gotta roll with the punches
That's the way it goes
You gotta bend when the wind blows
Well, that's the way it is
You gotta roll with the punches
That's the way it goes
You gotta bend when the wind blows
You live you learn
You crash and burn
It's hit or miss
And that's the way it is
