Baby, don't turn out the light
I wanna see you look at me
Whisper only truth tonight
Not just promises and empty fantasies
I don't need a bed of roses
'Cause roses wither away
All I really need is honesty
From someone with a strong heart
A gentle hand
Who'll take me as I am
Baby, I need for you to know
Just exactly how I feel
Fiery passions come and go
I'd trade a million pretty words
For one touch that is real
I don't need a bed of roses
'Cause roses wither away
All I really need is honesty
From someone with a strong heart
A gentle hand
Who'll take me as I am
From someone with a strong heart
A gentle hand
Who'll take me as I am

Just About Now
Just about now
I'd be watching you wake up
Feeling my heart beat with yours
Just about now
Is when we would make love
Like all of the mornings before
But I know it don't help to turn the clock back
'Cause I'm not gonna make it
'Til I face this fact
This is not about trying to go back in time
This is not about where I'll be a year down the line
It's just moment to moment
Surviving somehow
This is not about then
This is just about now
Just about now
You'd pull in the driveway
And I'd be there waving hello
Run to my arms
You'd kiss me and hold me
As if you'd never let go
And it's just about now when the tears start to fall
I wonder if I'm gonna make it at all
This is not about trying to go back in time
This is not about where I'll be a year down the line
It's just moment to moment
Surviving somehow
This is not about then
This is just about now
It's just moment to moment
Surviving somehow
This is not about then
This is just about now
I'd be watching you wake up
Feeling my heart beat with yours
Just about now
Is when we would make love
Like all of the mornings before
But I know it don't help to turn the clock back
'Cause I'm not gonna make it
'Til I face this fact
This is not about trying to go back in time
This is not about where I'll be a year down the line
It's just moment to moment
Surviving somehow
This is not about then
This is just about now
Just about now
You'd pull in the driveway
And I'd be there waving hello
Run to my arms
You'd kiss me and hold me
As if you'd never let go
And it's just about now when the tears start to fall
I wonder if I'm gonna make it at all
This is not about trying to go back in time
This is not about where I'll be a year down the line
It's just moment to moment
Surviving somehow
This is not about then
This is just about now
It's just moment to moment
Surviving somehow
This is not about then
This is just about now

Piece Of My Heart
Didn't I make you feel
Like you were the only man
And didn't I give you everything
That a woman possibly can
Each time I tell myself I think I've had enough
Well I'm gonna show you baby that a woman can be tough
So come on, come on, come on and
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
I know you will
Break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
'Cause you know you got it if it makes you feel good, so good
You're out on the street lookin' good
Baby deep down in your heart you know that it ain't right
No you'll never hear me cryin'
You know I cry all the time
Each time I tell myself that I can't stand the pain
You hold me in your arms and I start singin' once again
So come on, come on, come on and
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
I know you will
Break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
'Cause you know you got it if it makes you feel good, so good
Each time I tell myself that I can't stand the pain
You hold me in your arms and I start singin' once again
So come on, come on, come on
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
I know you will
Break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
'Cause you know you got it if it makes you feel good, so good

Ive Got This Friend
I've got this friend who is lonely
She's afraid she'll never find her one and only
A little shy but she can be fun
If the right guy came along
Would you know someone
I've got this friend and it sounds crazy
But he's been feeling that way too a whole lot lately
And interested, oh I'm sure he'd be
I can almost speak for him
He's that close to me
Maybe in each other
They might find the lover
They've been missin' until now
They'd trust the judgment of
Two friends like us who care so much
Can we get them together:somehow
I've got this friend
Yeah, I think I know her
My arms can almost feel the way he'd hold her
It's like he's here when you describe him
And if he's anything like you I'm sure she'd like him
Maybe in each other
They might find the lover
They've been missin' until now
They'd trust the judgment of
Two friends like us who care so much
Can we get them together:somehow
Can we get together:I've got this friend
She's afraid she'll never find her one and only
A little shy but she can be fun
If the right guy came along
Would you know someone
I've got this friend and it sounds crazy
But he's been feeling that way too a whole lot lately
And interested, oh I'm sure he'd be

Lifes Too Short To Love Like That
Baby we had something goin' wrong
I've never seen nothin' so right go wrong
You used to wanna love me day and night
We used to never wanna leave paradise
Now we sleep at night back to back
Life's too short to love like that
You never wanna kiss me anymore
You run around and I walk the floor
You know I used to mean everyting to you
Not I'm last in line and that just won't do
I feel blue, you feel trapped
Life's too short to love like that
You put me down just to stand me up
Time after time, well enough's enough
I give and give without gettin' back
Life's too short to love like that
Life's too short to love like that
It's way too late for a wake-up call
And I ain't gonna wait for those tears to fall
I used to think we could work things out
But if you don't wanna change then there's no doubt
The fire is out and that's so sad
Life's too short to love like that
You put me down just to stand me up
Time after time, well enough's enough
I give and give without gettin' back
Life's too short to love like that
Life's too short to love like that
I've never seen nothin' so right go wrong
You used to wanna love me day and night
We used to never wanna leave paradise
Now we sleep at night back to back
Life's too short to love like that
You never wanna kiss me anymore
You run around and I walk the floor
You know I used to mean everyting to you
Not I'm last in line and that just won't do
I feel blue, you feel trapped
Life's too short to love like that

But I Will
Remember when I said the next time would be the last time
That time came this mornin' when you came in
You always had a line to change my mind
So I guess you thought I'd just let you break my heart again
I don't want to stop lovin' you:but I will
I don't like wakin' up alone:but I will
You're the only one who can make my heart stand still
I don't want to let you go:but I will
I could write a book on the innocent looks you're giving me
You've got one for every story you tell
I've seen it all and I'm not gonna fall
For those make believe tears
So, darlin' I will try to make it clear
I don't want to stop lovin' you:but I will
I don't like wakin' up alone:but I will
You're the only one who can make my heart stand still
I don't want to let you go:but I will
You're the only one who can make my heart stand still
I don't want to let you go:but I will
That time came this mornin' when you came in
You always had a line to change my mind
So I guess you thought I'd just let you break my heart again
I don't want to stop lovin' you:but I will
I don't like wakin' up alone:but I will
You're the only one who can make my heart stand still
I don't want to let you go:but I will
I could write a book on the innocent looks you're giving me
You've got one for every story you tell

Just Around The Eyes
Just around the eyes
That's where you remind me
Of someone I left behind me
I'm sorry if I stare
But you must have stirred a memory and it caught me by surprise
But it was only for a moment
And just around the eyes
Something in your touch
Took me back a long way
And made me say the wrong name
I wish I could explain
But if I had to tell you
Where a small resemblance lies
It's something in your touch and just around the eyes
I'm over him completely
I rarely think about him at all
So when I look at you
Tell me, what should I do
With the little bit of him that I saw
Only when you smiled
You could have bowled me over
A memory out of nowhere
That came and went so fast
Don't tell me I still love him
That has to be a lie
Its just something in your touch
And only when you smile
And only for a moment
Just around the eyes
That's where you remind me
Of someone I left behind me
I'm sorry if I stare
But you must have stirred a memory and it caught me by surprise
But it was only for a moment
And just around the eyes
Something in your touch
Took me back a long way
And made me say the wrong name
I wish I could explain
But if I had to tell you
Where a small resemblance lies
It's something in your touch and just around the eyes
I'm over him completely
I rarely think about him at all
So when I look at you
Tell me, what should I do
With the little bit of him that I saw
Only when you smiled
You could have bowled me over
A memory out of nowhere
That came and went so fast
Don't tell me I still love him
That has to be a lie
Its just something in your touch
And only when you smile
And only for a moment
Just around the eyes

Go The Distance
You got me headed in a new direction
Got no reason to turn around
Ain't got no looking back or second guessing
It's time to find what love is really all about
Go the distance
Let our hearts lead us on
All the way to forever tonight
Can't resist it
The feelin's way too strong
Go the distance this time
The road to love is paved with shiftin' gravel
We may find ourselves on shaky ground
And there ain't no place that these two hearts can't travel
Even when we're miles apart together we are bound to
Go the distance
Let our hearts lead us on
All the way to forever tonight
Can't resist it
The feelin's way too strong
Go the distance this time
There will be rainy days and bridges left to cross
But if we lose our way we can't get lost if we
Go the distance
Let our hearts lead us on
All the way to forever tonight
Can't resist it
The feelin's way too strong
Go the distance this time
Got no reason to turn around
Ain't got no looking back or second guessing
It's time to find what love is really all about
Go the distance
Let our hearts lead us on
All the way to forever tonight
Can't resist it
The feelin's way too strong
Go the distance this time
The road to love is paved with shiftin' gravel
We may find ourselves on shaky ground
And there ain't no place that these two hearts can't travel
Even when we're miles apart together we are bound to
Go the distance
Let our hearts lead us on
All the way to forever tonight
Can't resist it
The feelin's way too strong
Go the distance this time
There will be rainy days and bridges left to cross
But if we lose our way we can't get lost if we
Go the distance
Let our hearts lead us on
All the way to forever tonight
Can't resist it
The feelin's way too strong
Go the distance this time

I Would Be Stronger Than That
There's a friend who will call
When her husband's asleep
Crossing the phone lines for comfort
And she cries that she needs him and
Someday he'll change
And now's not a good time to go
And it isn't my place to say leave him and run
That no love is worth all the damage he's done
But if she'll hold her ground
Then I'll hold my tongue
Ever the diplomat
Oh, I'd like to think
That I would be stronger than that
Where's her head
Where's her nerve
Does part of her think this is all she deserves
Oh, I would be stronger
I would not stay one minute longer
I would be stronger than that
It started out good they usually do
Then one day it's taken for granted
'Til words become weapons and love turns to pain
Oh, why is she still holding on
She says living without him is too hard to face
And I try to imagine myself in her place
But with well chosen words and well placed tears
She forgives him in two seconds flat
Oh, I'd like to think
That I would be stronger than that
Where's her head
Where's her nerve
Does part of her think this is all she deserves
Oh, I would be stronger
I would not stay one minute longer
I would be stronger than that
I know what she's thinking and I know what she'd say
That my life and her life are like night and like day
And her love is the love that will save him
Brave words but I don't believe them
Where's her head
Where's her nerve
Does part of her think this is all she deserves
Oh, I would be stronger
I would not stay one minute longer
I would be stronger than that
Oh, I would be stronger
I would not wait one minute longer
I would be stronger than that
When her husband's asleep
Crossing the phone lines for comfort
And she cries that she needs him and
Someday he'll change
And now's not a good time to go
And it isn't my place to say leave him and run

Does part of her think this is all she deserves
Oh, I would be stronger
