1. _ Come Upstairs
(carly simon/mike mainieri)
Sitting in a car here
After a party where we've seen
Everyone we've known for years
Well i've known you for years
Oh but now it's all changed
And all of my feelings
Have been rearanged
(chorus)
Come upstairs
We'll be all alone
Come upstairs
No one will know
Come upstairs
We can take of the phone
Come upstairs
You can take of my clothes
Say that it feels good
Maybe too good to say that it feels like a dream
You want to knock on some wood
Well i'll give you some wood
And i'll give you some fire
I'll give you myself
And i will show you my desire
Come upstairs
We'll have a few laughs
Come upstairs
We'll take a bath
Come upstairs
It's only one flight
Come upstairs
You can stay overnight
I'll give you some wood
Yeah, i'll give you some fire
I'll give you myself
And i will show you my desire
Chorus

2. _ Jesse
(carly simon/mike mainieri)
Oh mother, say a prayer for me
Jesse's back in town, it won't be easy
Don't let him near me
Don't let him touch me
Don't let him please me
(chorus)
Jesse, i won't cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, i won't make the wine cold for you
Jesse, i won't change the sheets for you
I won't put on cologne
I won't sit by the phone for you
Annie, keep reminding me
That he cut out my heart like a paper doll
Sally, tell me once again
How he set me up just to see me fall
Chorus
Jesse, quick come here
I won't tell a soul
Not even myself
Jesse, that you've come back to me
My friends will all say "she's gone again'
But how can anyone know what you are to me
That i'm in heave again because you've come back to me - oh jessie!
Jesse, i'll always cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, i'll always make the wine cold for you
Jesse, i can easily change my mind about you
And put on cologne
And sit by the phone for you
Jesse, let's open the wine
And drink to the heart
Which has a will of it's own
My friends, let's comfort them
They're feeling bad
They think i've sunk so low
Jesse, i'll always cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, i'll always make the wine cold for you
Jesse, i will change the sheets for you
Put on cologne
And i will wait by the phone for you - oh jesse!

3. _ James
(carly simon/mike mainieri)
James,
Your voice is like the water
When i lift this shell to my ear
I can hear you pourin' out your heart to me
James,
The beauty of your voice
Lifts us from sadness
James,
Let us become like water together
Sing to me
Sit on the edge of my bed as when we
First spent nights together
Your body wrapped around your guitar
Let the music speak for your heart
Let them combine like water and sand
Let them meet the air like drops of rain
And bring us together, once again

4. _ Them
(carly simon/mike mainieri)
What shall we do about them
When they move into your neighbourhood
They take over but good
They want you all body and soul
Then it's just your body
Then they go
What shall we do about them
(chorus)
What do they want
What shall we do about them
What do they want
What shall we do about them
What do they want
One of them asked me to dine
Then he ate me all up
Got full then he blew me up
I got big and round and lovable
He saw i was immovable
He got bored, went to war
I got one baby, he's giving me more
Once i swore i'd never give myself up
Chorus:
I know that them we are not
I have loved them alot
And i have loved alot of them
You could say that i am experienced
Enough to know that they are aliens
Do you keep them away, beg them to stay
Say it's o.k., do it their way
I used to say i'd never give myself up

5. _ In Pain
(carly simon/don grolnick/mike mainieri)
This gray sky
Is good for cryin'
These november gray woods
Open to the fields
I came out here
In the cold
For my poor heart
Has turned to frost
I don't understand
What you just told me
What is all this about
About just being friends
It's a lousy lie
And a far cry
>from what goes on
Between you and me
Pain, in pain
I'm in pain
You held me close to you
I didn't tell you what to do
We were burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
You made love to me
We were cryin', we were flyin'
We were dyin' in these fields
We'd come out here in the soft nights
I was sunburned under you
Pain, in pain
I'm in pain
So you want me to say
Do you want me to say, you want me to say
Say that i don't love you
Do you want me to smile, try, lie
And look away
How far away all the stars seem
And that gypsy moon
Cries, "you're a fool"

6. _ Stardust
(carly simon/mike mainieri)
Golden rock'n'roll man
Breaking all of the records and rules
Sold out in an hour
The stage is your own bedroom
I have your poster close to my bed
Earphones glued to my head
But i'd rather have you in my arms instead
And i'd be better than i was before
If only i had you
If only i had
If only i had
If only i had your
Stardust
Your glamour is golden
Stardust
I'd feel so important
Stardust
If only i knew you
Stardust
I want to be near you
Stardust
There i got to meet you
And your gold glitter fell all over me
Then i shook your hand
Took some of your lustre
I told my friends that you were just a man
Real nice, not tough
None of that phony star stuff
And i'm better than i was before
Because i have you
Because i have
Because i have
Because i have your
Stardust
Your glamour is golden
Stardust
I feel so important
Stardust
Now that i'm holding you
Stardust
Now that i know you
Stardust

7. _ The Desert
(carly simon/mike mainieri)
I was in the desert
Amazed by all that sand
I as in a sea of white
Swimming through the land
Nobody shocked me
Nobody locked me up
Nobody took my time
Nobody shook me up
All that happened was the white night
The endless sand in the moonlight
I was in the desert
In the opalescent moon
Watching the horizon
And waiting for the moon
Nobody talked to me
Nobody looked me up
Nobody walked up to me
Nobody shook me up
All that happened was the white night
The endless sand in the moonlight
I was in the desert
Free to live or die
Looking in the mirror
And seeing just the sky
Nobody got to me
Nobody said what to me
Nobody shoved me
Nobody loved me
All that happened was the white night
The endless sand and the moonlight

8. _ Take Me As I Am
(carly simon/mike mainieri/sid mcginnis)
You imagine when you see her
That she's nothing less that perfect
That she has no aspirations
Beyond driving in her car
The car she looks so good in
Will she ever look that good again
You'll never have to know
Because she's gone
She passes in the left lane
And you're turned on by the chase
Her hair flies in the wind
As your mind begins to race
The grass is always greener
But i wish you could have seen her
Drunk and lying with the gutter in her face
Take me as i am
Take me as i am
For the woman that i am
Take me as i am
You think she knows the bible
And can swin the english channel
Writes novels in her spare time
In a cabin in her woods
You wish i'd gone to college
And you wish i'd let my hair grow
You wish i didn't have so many moods
Take me as i am
Take me as i am
For the woman that i am
Take me as i am
Take me as i am
Once you said you were in love with me
And maybe you still are
But the passion you once showed me
Now is lost among the stars
And you fancy some new fancy girl
Will come and change your life around
But she just turned the corner in her car
While for some other dreamin' driver
I am that romantic stranger
Lookin' better than i am
More mysterious by far
Speeding through his dreams
While i'm drivin' in my car
Take me as i am
Take me as i am
For the woman that i am
Take me as i am
Take me as i am

9. _ Three Of Us In The Dark
(carly simon)
The three of us in the dark
Where do i resist
One has to go
One is just a guest
One is all a fire
One is all a spark
But here i am with the two of you
The three of us in the dark
I didn't hear you walk in the door
You'd called to me years ago
I had heard
Your voice before
One is all a fire
One is all a spark
But here i am with the two of you
The three of us in the dark
The eerie sound of one lone fiddle
The wind is finding the tune
And you lying here in the middle
As innocent as the moon
Entangled in embraces that god will never see
Do you know me
Who am i talking about
It all gets so confused
And what would i do
If i had to choose
One is all a fire
One is all a spark
And here i am with the two of you
The three of us in the dark
