Come On Over Here

Where do you go when
You need good lovin'
And how will you know if
Love is very hard to find
How do you say
That you need it everyday
Well if you look my way
You won't be wastin' time

Just come on over here
And I will take care
Of your every need
Cause I've got love to give to you
Just come on over here
And don't you worry dear
Cause I've got more
I've got more than you know what to do with

What do you do when you're
Not satisfied
And when you've done all that you can
You know you tried, oh yeah
And how do you say that
You need to get away
Don't make it so hard
When I'm there for you

Just come on over here
And I will take care
Of your every need
'Cause I've got love to give to you
Just come on over here
And don't you worry dear
'Cause I've got more
I've got more than you know what to do with

Boy I know
That you've been through so much
Don't you think it's time
To give it up
You deserve love
The way I do
And how I see it
It's you for me and me for you

Just come on over here
And I will take care
Of your every need
'Cause I've got love to give to you
Just come on over here
And don't you worry dear
'Cause I've got more
I've got more than you know what to do with

You're Makin Me High

I'll always think of you
Inside of my private thoughts
I can imagine you
Touching my private parts
With just the thought of you
I can't help but touch myself
That's why I want you so bad
Just one night of
Moonlight, with you there beside me
All night, doin' it again and again
You know I want you so bad
Baby, baby, baby, baby

Oooh I get so high
When I'm around you baby
I can touch the sky
You make my temperature rise
You're makin me high
Baby, baby, baby, baby

Can't get my mind off you
I think I might be obsessed
The very thought of you
Makes me want to get undressed
I wanna be with you
In spite of what my heart says
I guess I want you too bad
All I want is
Moonlights, with you there inside me
All night, doin it again and again
You know I want you so bad
Baby, baby, baby, baby

Oooh I get so high
When I'm around you baby
I can touch the sky
You make my temperature rise, ooh boy
You're makin me high
Baby, baby, baby, baby

I want to feel your heart and soul inside of me
Let's make a deal you roll, I lick
And we can go flying into ecstasy
Oh Darlin' you and me
Light my fire
Blow my flame
Take me, take me, take me away

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's No Me Without You

There's no me without you
There's no meaning to life without you
Tell me why should I care 'bout doing my hair
When I can't stop the thinking about you
There's no moon without you
There's no Saturday nights without you
There's no walk through the park
No beat in my heart
No I love you, No I can't live without you

You told me everything would be cool
Said I wouldn't always feel blue
How come I feel like a wreck
How come the skies are all gray
How come my eyes are all red
Why am I alone in bed

You told me everything would be fine
Why am I losing my mind
How come I feel like a fool
Why do I keep losing you
Why do I love in despair
When you're not there

There's no me without you
There's no meaning to life without you
Tell me why should I care 'bout doing my hair
When I can't stop the thinking about you
There's no moon without you
There's no Saturday nights without you
There's no walk through the park
No beat in my heart
No I love you, No I can't live without you

So blue for you
So deep in love with you
So hard to say bye-bye
When you know how hard I've tried
I, I, I tried baby
No No No No

You told me everything would be fine
Why am I losing my mind
How come I feel like a fool
Why do I keep losing you
Why do I love in despair
When you're not there

There's no me without you
There's no meaning to life without you
Tell me why should I care 'bout doing my hair
When I can't stop the thinking about you
There's no moon without you
There's no Saturday nights without you
There's no walk through the park
No beat in my heart
No I love you, No I can't live without you

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Un-break My Heart

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart

Take back that sad word good-bye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Bring back the nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many, many nights
Un-break my

Un-break my heart
Come back and say you love me
Un-break my heart
Sweet darlin'
Without you I just can't go on
Can't go on

Talking In His Sleep

So you know everything about your lover
Wanna bet

My oh my
How can this be there he goes
Talking in his sleep
By and by
He will connive does he know
He's talking in his sleep

The affair okay
He's corrupt
What do I do, what do I say
I feel ashamed, embarrassed, fatigued
Such a petty crime of sexual indiscretion

At night when he lays down
How I wish I could not hear the sound
But I could
Oh the things that he said

My oh my
How can this be
There he goes talking in his sleep
By and by
He will connive does he know
He's talking in his sleep

Adultery that's what the call it
When you're married
Tell me something
Why is it that the men are forgiven and the women
aren't
I don't know maybe, maybe I should forgive him
Maybe I'm over-reacting what do you think...not!

The promises he made
Said we'll be together for always
He's such a liar
Then he calls out her name

My oh my
How can this be
There he goes talking in his sleep
By and by
He will connive does he know
He's talking in his sleep

Guilty secrets
They are haunting my life
And he doesn't even know that I know
Can you hear him

The promises he makes
Said we'll be together for always
He's such a liar
Then he goes out to burn me

My oh my
How can this be
There he goes talking in his sleep
By and by
He will connive does he know
He's talking in his sleep
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

How Could An Angel Break My Heart

I heard he sang a lullaby
I heard he sang it from his heart
When I found out thought I would die
Because that lullaby was mine
I heard he sealed it with a kiss
He gently kissed her cherry lips
I found that so hard to believe
Because his kiss belonged to me

How could an angel break my heart
Why didn't he catch my falling star
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart

I heard here face was white as rain
Soft as a rose that blooms in May
He keeps her picture in a frame
And when he sleeps he calls her name
I wonder if she makes him smile
The way he used to smile at me
I hope she doesn't make him laugh
Because his laugh belongs to me

How could an angel break my heart
Why didn't he catch my falling star
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wish our love apart
How could an angel break my heart

Oh my soul is dying, it's crying
I'm trying to understand

Please help me

How could an angel break my heart
Why didn't he catch my falling star
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let It Flow

First thing Monday morning
I'm gonna pack my tears away
Got no cause to look back
I'm lookin' for me a better day
You see the thing 'bout love
Is that it's not enough
If the only thing it brings you is pain
There comes a time when we could all make a
change

Just let go
And let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Everything's gonna work out right, Y'know
Let go, and let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Just let it go

Don't nobody want no broke heart
And don't nobody want no two time losers
Ain't nobody gonna love you like you are
If you take whatever he brings your way
You see the thing of it
Is we deserve respect
But we can't demand respect without change
There comes a time when we must go our own way

Just let go
And let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Everything's gonna work out right, Y'know
Let go, and let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Just let it go

Sometimes love it can work out right
Sometimes you'll never know
But if it brings only pain in your life
Don't be afraid to let it go
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why Should I Care?

Back in the day
When I was younger
I wasn't afraid
Of giving my heart to you
Now and again
I get sentimental
But I know it's just a phase I'm going through
And every time I start to slip
I just remind myself
I need only think of it
I went through so much hell
You say ya wanna get things back
The way they used to be
Can you give me one good reason
Why should I darlin'

Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care

Back in the day
I shoulda been wiser
But what can I say
I shoulda been onto you
But I was afraid
That you'd break my heart in two
Fate would have it that you broke it anyway baby
And every time I close my eyes
I just remind myself
You told about a million lies
You put my heart through hell
And now you wanna get with me
Just for old times sake
Well I am not about to make that same mistake

Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care

You see a girl that you gave all your love
I see a girl you took advantage of
You see a girl that you cannot forget
I see a man that I cannot forgive
Tell me why

Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care for you
Why should I care
Why should I care

Back in the day when I was young
I wasn't afraid to love
Back in the day
You were the one what was I thinking of
Back in the day
Shoulda been wiser
Shoulda been onto you
But I was afraid I make a mistake
No one knows
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I Don't Want To

I really don't feel like talking on the phone
And I really don't feel like company at home
Lately I don't want to do the things I used to do
Baby since I lost you

And I don't want to sing another love song babe
I don't want to hum another melody
I don't want to live my life without you babe yeah
It's driving me crazy (crazy)

I really don't feel like smiling anymore
And I haven't had the peace to sleep at all
Ever since you went away, baby my whole life has changed
I don't want to love and I don't want to live

And I don't want to sing another love song babe
I don't want to hum another melody
I dolt' want to live my life without you babe yeah
It's driving me crazy (crazy)

I don't wanna laugh, I don't wanna play
I don't wanna talk, I don't have nothing to say
I don't want to tour, forget the show how can I go on
Now that you're gone

And I don't want to sing another love song babe
I don't want to hum another melody
I dolt' want to live my life without you babe yeah
It's driving me crazy (crazy)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I Love Me Some Him

I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do

I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do

All those days and lonely nights
Have all gone away
I never thought the day would come
When we'd be more than friends
You made me smile when I was down
You turn my world around
The way you give me love feels so right

You took the ease off my mind
And put it behind
You were there for all my needs
So baby--stay

I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do

I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do

Just like a dream come true
I wished for you
I have never been so happy 'bout a love so new
You opened my heart to a brand new start
My love's there wherever you are
I won't let no one take you away

You took the ease off my mind
And put it behind
You were there yes indeed for all my needs--yes

I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do

'Cause you came along
And changed my life
Told me things would be all right
And they were thanks to you
And now I have the strength to carry on
In my heart you have a home
And I never want to be alone
I love me...

I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do

I love me some him
I'll never love this way again
I love me some you
Another man will never do
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In The Late Of Night

Always thought your promise was for life
I did not think that I
Would hear you say good-bye
And I always heard you led another life
I doubted every time
I guess every time
Cause in my eyes
Love was always something magical
But the feeling is so tragic for
And all I know is in love
The thing that I want most
I can't possess
There's only emptiness

In the late of night
Just before I closed my eyes
You lied
As you kissed me goodnight
In the late of night
Just before I closed my eyes
I cried
As you kissed my lips good-bye

In my eyes
You will always be the lucky one
Cause you know you'll always have my love
For all time until I die
Through the end I gave to you my best
You gave, you gave me loneliness

In the late of night
Just before I closed my eyes
You lied
As you kissed me goodnight
In the late of night
Just before I closed my eyes
I cried
As you kissed my lips good-bye
