1. _ Burning Down The House
|
2. _ I Can't Make You Love Me
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me
Chorus: cause i can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and i'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'cause i can't make you love me, if you don't
I'll close my eyes, then i won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and i'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And i will give up this fight
Chorus: cause i can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and i'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'cause i can't make you love me, if you don't

3. _ Shake A Little
In the shadow of your father
Sweet brown eyes of the one i love
I can't wait another minute baby
To do the things that we never done
Everybody gets hungry sometimes
Your love is like a kettle on
In the shadow of your father
Guess i get a little sad sometimes
Shake a little for me baby
Take me to the water when my well runs dry
Shake a little for me baby
Just a little now
Just a little now
Everybody gets lonely sometimes
Guess a stranger is a friend in need
In the shadow of this new york skyline
All these stories looking down on me
Everybody feels the water rising
Could go on to her enjoy the ride
Ah when you're dancing for me now baby
I don't feel so small against the tide
Shake a little for me baby
Take me to the water when my well runs dry
Shake a little for me baby
Shake a little for me baby
Take me to the water when my cup runs dry
Shake a little for me baby
Just a little now
Just a little now
Just a little now

4. _ Dimming Of The Day
This old house is falling down around my ears
I'm drowning in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
I need you at the dimming of the day
You pulled me like the moon
Pulls on the tide
You know just where i keep my better side
What days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
Now all the bonny birds have wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the day
Come the night you're only what i want
Come the night you could be my confidant
I see you the street and in company
Why don't you come and rest your mind with me
I'm living for the night we steal away
I need you at the dimming of the day
I need you at the dimming of the day...

5. _ Rock Steady
You need a man that'll treat you like the woman you are
Those little boys are just fooling around with your heart
Whatcha gonna do now that you're all alone?
You need a rock not a rollin' sone
Yeah so when i'm bored
It just ain't enough
You need a man made of stronger stuff
Get ready
Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you
You need somebody who will help you with your heavy load
Well i've been there baby
Lord give me a rock and roll
Well i can bend but i won't break
Cause you ain't got what i can take
So when you're tired of those little girls
You want a woman that'll rock your world
Get ready
Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you
Amateurs are clearly tought
They can't give you what you really want
When all the other have been untrue
I'll give you something you can hold on to
Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you

6. _ I Believe I'm In Love With You
|
7. _ Thing Called Love
Don't have to humble yourself to me,
I ain't your judge or your king
Baby, you know i ain't no queen of sheba
We may not even have our dignity,
This could be just a powerful thing
Baby we can choose you know we ain't no amoeba
Chorus:
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you,
It comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine,
Take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for the thing called love
I ain't some icon carved out of soap
Sent here to clean up your reputation
Baby, you know you ain't no prince charming
We can live in fear or act out of hope
For some kind of peaceful situation
Baby, how come the cry of love is so alarming ...chorus
Bridge:
Ugly ducklings don't turn into swans
And glide off down the lake
Whether your sunglasses are off or on
You only see the world you make
Chorus outro:
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you,
It comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine,
Take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for it
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you,
It comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine,
Take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for it
Are you ready for love, baby
Oooh yeah babe
Are you ready for love

8. _ The Kokomo Medley
When you get home baby
Write me a few of your lines
When you get home little baby
Write me a few of your lines
That'll be consolation
Lord honey oh my worried mind
Left my baby
Standin' in the backdoor cryin'
Well i left my little baby
Standing in the backdoor cryin'
I never felt so sorry
Lord honey till he said goodbye
Kokomo me baby
Kokomo me right
Kokomo your mama,
She'll be back tomorrow night
I'd like to cry in your arms tonight
Baby don't you wanna go?
Right on to lemon light city
Sweet home kokomo
Go on down to the river baby
Goin' to sit down on the ground
Well i'm goin' down to the river baby
Goin' to sit down on the ground
And let the way of the water
Lord honey wash my troubles down
Kokomo me baby
Kokomo me right
Kokomo your mama,
She'll be back tomorrow night
I gotta cry with you baby
Baby don't you wanna go?
Right on to lemon light city
Sweet home kokomo

9. _ Love Me Like A Man
The men that i've been seeing
Well they got their soul up on a shelf
You know they could never love me
Cuz they can't even love themselves
But i want someone to love me
Baby i want one to understand
Won't put himself above me
Who can love me like a man
I never seen such losers
Even though i tried
Find a mind to take me home instead of
Taking me for a ride
Baby, i use someone to care
Believe it when i tell you darlin'
You can love me like a man
Oh they want me to rock them
Like my back ain't got no bone
I want a man whose gonna rock me
Like my backbone was his own
Baby, i want to wait until you can
Believe it when i tell you darlin'
You can love me like a man
Come home sad and lonely
Feel like i wanna cry
Come over here and hold me baby
And don't ever ask the reason why
I said i, i want a lover
Won't have to work to understand
Don't put yourself above me baby
Love me like a man

10. _ Love Sneaking Up On You
Rainy night, i'm all alone
Sittin' here waitin' for your
Voice on the phone
Fever turns to cold, cold sweat
Thinkin' about the things we ain't done yet
Tell me now, i've got to know,
Do you feel the same
Do you just light up at the mention of my name?
Don't worry baby, it ain't nothin' new
That's just love sneakin' up on you
If your whole world's shakin' and you feel like i do
That's just love sneakin' up on you
Nowhere on earth for your heart to hide
Once love comes sneakin' upon your blindside
And you might as well try to stop the rain
Or stand in the tracks of a runaway train
You just can't fight it when a thing's meant to be
So come on let's finish what you started with me
Don't worry baby, it ain't nothin' new
That's just love sneakin' up on you
If your whole world's shakin' and you feel like i do
That's just love sneakin' up on you

11. _ My Opening Farewell
A lady stands before an open window
Looking so far away
She can almost feel the southern winds blow
Gently touching his restless day
He turns from his window to me
Sad smile his apology
Sad eyes reaching to the door
Daylight loses to another evening
Still he spares me words goodbye
Sits alone beside me fighting his feelings
Struggles to speak but in the end can only cry
Suddenly it's so hard to find
The sound of the words to speak his troubled mind
So i'm offering ease to him as if to be kind
There's a train every day
Leading either way
There's a world you know
There's a way to go
I soon believe it's just as well
This is my opening farewell
A child's drawings left there on the table
And a woman's silk is lying on the floor
I would keep them here if i were able
To lock you safe behind it's open door
Suddenly it's so clear to me
That i'd ask you to see what you may never see
Now my kind words find their way back to me
There's a train every day
Leading either way
There's world you know
Got a way to go
I soon believe it's just as well
This is my opening farewell
This is my opening farewell.

12. _ Something To Talk About
Verse 1
People are talkin, talking 'bout people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept under covers
I just ignore it, but they keep saying
We laugh just a little too loud
We stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seeing, something we don't, darlin'
Chorus
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love?
Verse 2
I feel so foolish, i never noticed
You'd act so nervous, could you be falling for me?
It took a rumor to make me wonder
Now i'm convinced i'm going under
Thinking 'bout you every day
Dreaming 'bout you every night
Hoping that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, let's really show it, darlin'
Chorus
Bridge
Let's give them something to talk about
A little mystery to figure out
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?
Chorus
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?
Chorus

13. _ Angel From Montgomery
I am an old woman
Named after my mother
An old man is another
Child who's grown old
If dreams were thunder
Lightning was desire
This old house it would've burned down
A long time ago
Make me an angel
That flies from montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That i can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go
When i was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
It wasn't much to look at
It was a free ramblin' man
There was a long time
No matter how i tried
The years they just rolled by
Like a broken down dance
Make me an angel
That flies from montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That i can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go
There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear them there buzzin'
And i ain't done nothing since i woke up today
But how the hell can a person
Go on to work in the morning
To come home in the evening
And have nothing to say
Make me an angel
That flies from montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That i can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

14. _ Longing In Their Hearts
Let me tell you 'bout a friend of mine
He's a short order cook
Long on speed, short on spice
He reads his customers like a book
He's seen this, and he's done that
Now he's makin' fried eggs an art
But there's one thing he can't fix no how
There's a longing in his heart
He's tried for years to work it out
At the grill and at his home
Well he talks to his friends, talks to himself
He talks the chicken right off the bone
Talks to his woman and she understands
You know they're always eye to eye
She runs the join, they live out back
Small house under a big sky
Well even the stars at night agree
The sky is falling apart
She knows cause she can feel it too
There's a longing in her heart
A longing in her heart
Longing in her heart
Well now you and me, we're just like them
We never wanted to be alone,
So we made a pact, sealed with desire
For a happier house and home
Only to find it doens't untie
The know where feelings die
There's a longing deep inside our hearts
And no one to tell us why
Our friends aren't looking for anything new
They wouldn't know where to look
Well her, she like running the joint
And he likes being a cook
Together they're doing very well
They're might glad they could
But there's a fire burning towards them now
Coming from a distant wood
And eve the stars at night agree
That the sky is falling apart
We know 'cause we can feel it too
There's a longing in our hearts

15. _ Never Make Your Move Too Soon
|
16. _ Matters Of The Heart
Broken heart, bloodshot stare
Signs of a fool who cared too much
Now she's gone and he can't remember how
To live without her touch
Hopin' to die but surely livin' to tell
When it comes to matters of the heart
There is nothing a fool won't get used to
So he found someone afraid his heart would follow the heat
He could hardly do more than pretend
Though she knew in her heart that his love was alive
When it comes to matters of the heart
There is nothing a fool won't get used to
Now of all the things love teaches
All the ways that it opens our eyes
None more profound than the lesson he learned
The day she walked out of his life
Well when the road gets too narrow
It's then he remembers her smile
And he sees these words forming on her lips
Across a river of tears he once cried
When it comes to matters of the heart
There is nothing a fool won't get used to
