1.Even When I'm Sleeping
(dean manning)
Don't be confused by my apparent lack of ceremony
My mind is clear
I may be low or miles high off in the distance
I want you near
I love you, even when i'm sleeping
When i close my eyes
You're everywhere
And if they take me flying on the magic carpet
See me wave
If our communication fails i'll reconnect it
I want to rave
I love you, even when i'm sleeping
When i close my eyes
You're everywhere
No matter where the road is leading us remember
Don't be afraid
We have a continent that sometimes comes between us
That's okay
I love you, even when i'm sleeping
When i close my eyes
You're everywhere
2.Impossible
(marie wilson, mark hudson, jim vallance)
Another lonely night and i'm still feeling like
There's something deep inside i can't explain
We always look for love and keep on dreaming of
A feeling that's forever and a day, after day
Everybody's looking for a way, anyway
And i don't wanna hear
It's impossible
Don't say it doesn't matter
Impossible
It's hard sometimes to know just what to do
But it's true
Things are never what they seem
Cause nothing is impossible to me
And if your heart should break
It's more than i could take
I promise i won't throw it all away
And when the road gets rough and you feel you've had enough
We'll cherish every moment everyday, after day
Everbody's looking for a way, anyway
And i don't wanna hear
It's impossible
Don't say it doesn't matter
Impossible
It's hard sometimes to know just what to do
But it's true
Things are never what they seem
Cause nothing is impossible to me
Some people gonna try to own ya
They'll push and hope that you fall
And everybody thinks they know you
But they don't know you at all
We always look for love, and keep on dreaming of
A feeling that's forever, and forever, and forever
It's impossible
Don't say it doesn't matter
Impossible
It's hard sometimes to know just what to do
But it's true
Things are never what they seem
Cause nothing is impossible to me
3.Making It Up As I Go Along
(marie wilson, gregg sutton, jane wiedlin)
I am the invisible girl
A vanishing act in the big bad old world
I disappeared in the crowd
But now something inside has just gotta come out
Gonna set it free
Be the real me
Gonna let it go
Don't wanna be scared
Don't wanna be weak
Don't wanna be the last to speak
I'm gonna be brave
I'm gonna be strong
I'm ready to take it all on
Making it up as i go along
Making it up as i go along
I was nowhere to be found
Locked up so tight never making a sound
The answer stuck in my head
A thousand words always thought never said
Gonna make it clear
This is me here
Gonna let it go
Don't wanna be scared
Don't wanna be weak
Don't wanna be the last to speak
I'm gonna be brave
I'm gonna be strong
I'm ready to take it all on
Making it up as i go along
Making it up as i go along
Don't wanna be scared
Don't wanna be weak
Don't wanna be the lastto speak
I'm gonna be brave
I'm gonna be strong
I'm ready to take it all on
Making it up as i go along
Making it up as i go along
4.Next Time
(marie wilson/mark hudson/jim vallance)
I heard you knocking on my front door
I know what you wanted to say.
I found the letter you left lying there
I threw it away.
What do you take me for
Some kind of stupid fool
I never asked for much
I only wanted you.
Now i just wanna say, baby
If this is goodbye
Well, it's your turn to cry
Next time
Things will be different, baby
Next time
Everything is gonna change
Next time
Won't be so easy
I swear to god there will never be a next time
I'm not the person i was yesterday
When i wanted you near
There's a part of me that's gone away
Now i see it so clear
What do you want from me
Do you take me for a fool?
Don't wanna live a lie
I only want the truth
Now it's my turn to say baby
If that's the way you treat a friend
This is the end
Next time
Things will be different, baby
Next time
Everything is gonna change
Next time
Won't be so easy
I swear to god there will never be a next time
I finally figured it out
What you're all about
And i think it's a crime
I was wasting my time
Yeah, yeah, yeah
What do you take me for?
Some kind of stupid fool
There ain't no in between
It's only win or lose
Now i just gotta say baby
I'm gonna find somebody new
And it ain't you
Chorus to fade
5.On My Own
(marie wilson)
Looking back it was so long ago
Seems like only yesterday
You packed your bags and said you had to go
Somehow you'd lost your way
I let you go not knowing what to do
Or knowing what went wrong
And i prayed you'd not be long
You left me standing there
Knowing i'd be there waiting
But now i've changed my mind
I'm just doing fine baby
On my own
You never thought i'd make it
On my own
Oh you never thought i'd take it
On my own
Well i'm still surviving, living
On my own
You called me on the phone to talk to me
Just to see that i'm ok
But i can't help to think of love that we
Shared only yesterday
You just keep going on
You keep me hanging on and waiting
But now i've changed my mind
Cause i'm just doing fine baby
On my own
You never thought i'd make it
On my own
Oh you never thought i'd take it
On my own
Well i'm still surviving, living
On my own
Yeah-eah
Listen to me baby
Oh no you drive me crazy
Come closer now
And let me show you how
I'm living life for me
Without your misery
And i won't change my mind
Cause i'm still doin' fine
On my own
You never thought i'd make it
On my own
Oh you never thought i'd take it
On my own
Well i'm still surviving, living
On my own
You never thought i'd make it
Oh no you never thought i'd take it oh i'm still surviving.....
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
6.Ordinary Girl
(marie wilson)
Everyone wants to be like her
Everyone thinks she's got everything
The whole world stares
But no one cares about her
She's just like you
She's just like the girl next door
She's just like an ordinary girl
The paper's talk about her lovers
And just as soon as word comes
That she's found another
They claim an outrage
Right across the front page
She's just like you
She's just like the girl next door
She's just like an ordinary girl
Well i know
She knows
It's just a matter of time
And i feel
She feels
She's running out of time
Bet she longs to be
Just like you and me
Ooohhhhh
She's just an ordinary girl
She's just an ordinary girl
Oh she's just like you
She's just like the girl next door
She's just like an ordinary girl
Oohhh she's no different
She's no different, although it seems
She's just like an ordinary girl
7.Real Life
(marie wilson, marsha malamet, liz vidal)
This ain't no warning
This ain't no countdown
This is the real thing
This is the right now
It's thought provoking
It might sound crazy
But i'm not joking
Hear what i'm saying
Ain't no excuses
Ain't no rehearsals
Don't be so stupid
Don't be so hurtful
Cause what you give out
You're sure to get back
It's gonna come round
Nothing will change that
This is your real life going by
Every day and every night
This is your real life
Don't be a loser
Don't be mistaken
There is a truth here
That you're not facing
Ain't no pretending
This is your one shot
And in the ending
It's all you got
This is your real life going by
Every day and every night
This is your real life
Look in the mirror, what do you see?
Is this how you pictured, yourself to be?
Isn't it time to open your eyes, open your eyes
This is your real life going by
Every day and every night
This is your real life
8.Rescue Me
(marie wilson, anthony vandeburgh)
As morning touches another day
I lay here thinking are you lonely
Well i asked you would you stay
Come on stay
I don't mean to be so desperate
I don't wanna bother you
But if you find it in your heart to change your mind
Come around, come around
Rescue me
Can't you see i'm falling
You turned away
Before i could say that i'm always
Falling over you
I can't seem to find the time
To figure out just what you're feeling
Would it change things if i cried
Or would you run and hide
I will never tire of waiting
I won't give up on you
And if you feel like you want a change of heart
Come around, come around
Rescue me
Can't you see i'm falling
You turned away
Before i could say that i'm always
Falling over you
Falling over you
Falling, falling
Rescue me
Can't you see i'm falling
You turned away
Before i could say that i'm always
Falling over you
9.Runaway
I spend my time these days just thinking of the past
I spend my time just wondering why it never lasted
I count the days til i can see you once again
If nothing else you were always my best friend
But i miss you now my friend
I long to kiss your smile again
Will you run, runaway with me
And leave your world behind
Will you come, come and stay with me
Just you and me until the end of time
Unlucky in love, well at least that's what they say
But it's been so bad, sometimes i need to, need to runaway
I wanna ask you, will you run, runaway with me
I'll look after you, oh baby, baby can't you see
Will you run, runaway with me
And leave your world behind
Will you come, come and stay with me
Just you and me until the end of time
But i miss you now my friend
I long to kiss your smile again
Will you run, runaway with me
And leave your world behind
Will you come, come and stay with me
Just you and me until the end of time
10.Take Me As I Am
(marie wilson, robert parde)
Don't lie to my face
Like everyone i know it's so hard to take
Don't dare think of me
Of just another that'll be your worst mistake
Don't try to interest me
With preconceived ideas of what i should be
So i call on you to lay down your fears and
Take me as i am,
Or don't take me at all
I could never change for you
Here i make my stand,
Watch my innocence fall
You take me as i am
Or don't take me at all
Thanks for the honesty
But in the end you're not a friend
Not a friend to me
No i won't go quietly
Cause nothings wrong with being strong
I'm alive and free
If you only took the time to notice
Maybe i could change your point of view
Take me as i am,
Or don't take me at all
I could never change for you
Here i make my stand,
Watch my innocence fall
You take me as i am
Or don't take me at all
If you only took the time to notice
Maybe i could change your point of view
Take me as i am,
Or don't take me at all
I could never change for you
Here i make my stand,
Watch my innocence fall
You take me as i am
Or don't take me at all
11.Without My Lover
(marie wilson, emily turner)
Haunted by your vision
Haunted by your calls
Lately iv'e been wishing
I'd never meet you at all
Fire raging in my head,
Without my lover
I take back all the things i said,
About my lover
Taken by the innocence in your eyes
Wounded by deceit,
But now i'm shocked by your lies
Another sleepless night ahead,
Without my lover
Lying in my lonely bed,
Without my lover
Thinking 'bout my life without you by my side
I know i'll be alright,
I can survive
Without my lover
Without my lover
Without my lover
Haunted by you vision
You know i'm hauntd by your calls
Lately i've been wishing
I'd never met you at all
Morning brings reality,
You're not my lover
I'll leave behind your memory,
I'll find another
Bittersweet reminders of a love gone wrong
Exist to give me courage and the strength to carry on
Without my lover
Without my lover
Without my lover
12.Won't Keep A Good Girl Down
(marie wilson, mark hudson, jim vallance)
Sometimes it's so confusing
You win and then start losing
Just when you thought you'd seen it all
You picked your lucky number
So is it any wonder
You've got your back against the wall
You'll get delirious
If you take life too serious
You'd think by now that you would know
You can't stop the world from changing
But you could turn it around
'cause you won't keep a good girl,
Won't keep a good girl down
I look at life it's scary
So dull and ordinary
Sometimes it makes me wanna scream
They say that less is more
But you've been there before
And it ain't always what it seems
You can't stop the world from changing
But you could turn it around
'cause you won't keep a good girl,
Won't keep a good girl down
Everybody wants happiness
But sometimes it slips away
It's yours if you want it
You can take it back
But it's up to you to find another way
Why can't you let it go
You've got nothing left to show
For all the hell that you've been through
And now you've finally found the answer
You've got your feet back on the ground
You won't keep a good girl,
Won't keep a good girl down
Oh yeah, you won't keep a good girl,
Won't keep a good girl down
