THAT DRIVING BEAT
W.Mitchel
(2:24)

Take off your high healed sneakers and put on your flats
We're going to a party, gonna show you where it's at
We're gonna do the pony, jerk, twist and shout
So get out on the floor girl and work it all out

Drive on
Drive on, now

Just listen to the music and when you hear the beat
You can't fight the feeling, you've just got to move your feet
Baby, let your down and don't go so slow
'Cos when you hear that driving beat you know you got to go

Drive on
Drive on, now
Drive on
Drive on, now

Look over there at the girl dressed in white
She ain't wearing diamonds, she's gonna work all night
Stop looking at your watch, the lights will never blink
Don't worry 'bout the time 'cos it's later than you think

Drive on
Drive on, now
Drive on
Drive on, now

Drive on
You're looking good now
Drive on
Just like I knew you would now

TRYING TO LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU
E.William
(3:25)

I used to smoke five packs of cigarettes a day
It was the hardest thing to put them away
I drank four or five bottles of wine
I had a glass in my hand all the time

Oh, breaking those habits was hard to do
But it's nothing compared with the changes you put me through

I'm trying to live my life without you, babe
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do
Trying to forget the love we once shared
It's the hardest burden I'll ever bear

I had the worst reputation around
For chasing all the women in town
I thought changing my way of living was hard to do
But the worst habit to break baby is loving you

I've done everything I've tried to do
But it's going to take a miracle to get over losing you

I'm trying to live my life without you, babe
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do
Trying to forget the love we once shared
It's the hardest burden I'll ever bear

I've done everything I've tried to do
But it's going to take a miracle to get over losing you

I'm trying to live my life without you, babe
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do
Trying to forget the love we once shared
It's the hardest burden I'll ever bear

(Repeat x 3)

YOU DON'T KNOW LIKE I KNOW
I.Hayes / D.Porter
(2:46)

You don't know like I know
What that woman has done for me
In the morning she's my water
In the evening she's my cup of tea

Just as long as I live, yeah
Whenever she comes around
I go to her and like a miracle
Everything just is all right

You don't know like I know
What that woman has done for me
She brings her loving home now
Just the way it's supposed to be

What she wants, she can get
Tender loving
'Til she's ready, 'til she's ready, 'til she's ready to quit

Just as long as I live, yeah
Whenever she comes around
I go to her and like a miracle
Everything just is all right

You don't know like I know
What that woman has done for me
In the morning she's my water
In the evening she's my cup of tea

Nobody knows, nobody knows
Nobody knows like I know

EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALL RIGHT
W.Mitchell
(3:12)

Put up your shotgun Papa, everything is gonna be all right, all right, all right, all right
Put up your shotgun Papa, everything is gonna be all right, all right, all right, all right
Here come the preacher, there's gonna be a wedding tonight, all right, all right

I'm not gonna try to run, I know it ain't no use
So you can tell your brothers to turn me loose

Put up your shotgun Papa, everything is gonna be all right, all right, all right, all right
Here comes the preacher, there's gonna be a wedding tonight, all right, all right

I didn't want to marry, but now I've tied the knot
'Cos something made me realise what I really got
Drop your shotgun Daddy
You don't have to worry 'bout a thing
No, no, not a thing, no, no
Here comes the preacher, your little girl will get her wedding ring
Alright, alright, alright

Put up your shotgun Papa, everything is gonna be all right
Put up your shotgun Papa, everything is gonna be all right

Everything is gonna be all right

MAN OF THE HOUR

S.Hosein / D.Deviller / S.Kipner
(4:09)

The ice is melting in my glass, there's a storm out on the ocean
A picture in a golden frame, lying cracked and broken
If you lined up all the losers and stood them in my shoes
They'd put me on a pedestal and crown me prince of fools

'Cos even though you did me wrong
My heart denies the fact
If you give me half a chance
You know I'd take you back

If there's a fool born every minute
Then I'm the man of the hour
Seems I been living a lie for so long now
There's a spotlight and I'm in it
'Cos I haven't got the power
To know when love is over
I'm the man of the hour

There's a time for giving up on love and a time to stay and fight
I would give anything to be with you tonight
God, I must be twisted 'cos I know you're just no good
If you asked me to blind my eyes then girl you know I would

If there's a fool born every minute
Then I'm the man of the hour
Seems I been living a lie for so long now
There's a spotlight and I'm in it
'Cos I haven't got the power
To know when love is over
I'm the man of the hour

Pull this dagger from my heart, let it beat again
In my world of self delusion, only you can stop the pain

Even though you did me wrong
My heart denies the fact
If you give me one more chance
You know I'd take you back

If there's a fool born every minute
Then I'm the man of the hour
Seems I been living a lie for so long now
There's a spotlight and I'm in it
'Cos I haven't got the power
To know when love is over
I'm the man of the hour

There's a fool born every minute
There's a spotlight and I'm in it

(Repeat x 2)

I'VE BEEN LONELY FOR SO LONG
J.Weaver / P.Knight
(4:41)

I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along

These ain't wrinkles over my head
Everybody's throwing rocks in my bed
Just can't seem to get ahead in life
Ooh, nothing I do ever turns out right
(Won't somebody help me, please?)

'Cause I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along

I lay awake every night
Trying to figure out how to make things right
There's got to be a better way, I know
To shake this monkey off 'cos he's making me sore
(Won't somebody help me, please?)

'Cause I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along

I lay awake every night
Trying to figure out how to make things right
There's got to be a better way, I know
To shake this monkey off 'cos he's making me sore
(Won't somebody help me, please?)

'Cause I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
I've been so lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along

'Cause I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along

I've been lonely
So lonely
I've been lonely
So lonely

(Repeat x 1)

THAT'S WHAT LOVE WILL MAKE YOU DO


M.Campbell
(4:08)

When I hear your name, I start to shake inside
When I see you stroll, I lose my self-control

That's what love will do
That's what love will make you do
(That's what love will do, that's what love will do)
No matter how hard I fight it
I'm still in love with you

If you're ever in need, there's no limit to what I'll do
I'll work eight days a week and I will give it all to you

That's what love will do
That's what love will make you do
(That's what love will do, that's what love will do)
No matter how hard I fight it
Girl, I'm still in love with you

When they speak of beauty, you can stand the test
When it comes to making love, baby you're the best
I don't want to brag about you too much and give others ideas
When I'm trying to express myself
Well baby, that's the way I feel

That's what love will do for you
That's what love will make you do
(That's what love will do, that's what love will do)
Well, no matter how hard I fight it
Girl, I'm still in love with you

No matter how hard I fight it
I'm still in love with you
I said, no matter how hard I fight it
Girl, I'm still in love with you

That's what love will do
(That's what love will do, that's what love will do)
That's what love will do for you
(That's what love will do, that's what love will do)
(That's what love will do for you)
(That's what love will do, that's what love will do)
That's what love will do
(That's what love will do, that's what love will do)
No matter how hard I fight it
I'm still in love with you

(Repeat x 1)

I CAN'T GET NEXT TO YOU
B.Strong / N.Whitfield
(5:00)

I can turn a grey sky blue
You see, I can make it rain anytime I want it to
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can even make a ship sail when it's on dry land

Well, I'm happy with all the powers that I possess
Girl, you're the key to my happiness and I

(Can't get next to you, babe)
I've been trying such a long time
(Can't get next to you)
I can't get next to you
(Can't get next to you, babe)
I can't get next to you, babe
(Can't get next to you)

I can fly like the birds in the sky
I can buy anything that your money can't buy
I can turn a river into a raging fire
I can live forever if I so desire

I'm very happy with all the powers that I possess
You're the key 'cos I

(Can't get next to you, babe)
I can't get next to you, babe
(Can't get next to you)
I can't get next to you
(Can't get next to you, babe)
I can't get next to you, babe
(Can't get next to you)

I can turn back the hands of time
I can make the seasons change
I can even turn water into wine
I can change anything from old to new, girl
Of all the things I want to do the most, you see I'm unable to do

Honey, you're part of all the power that I possess
Girl, you're the key 'cos I

(Can't get next to you, babe)
I can't get next to you, babe
(Can't get next to you)
I can't get next to you
(Can't get next to you, babe)
I've been trying such a long time
(Can't get next to you)
That's what I'm tryin' to do

(Can't get next to you, babe)
I can't get next to you, babe
(Can't get next to you)
I can't get next to you
(Can't get next to you, babe)
I can't get next to you, babe
(Can't get next to you)
I can't get next to you

(Can't get next to you, babe)
I can't get next to you, babe
(Can't get next to you)
(Can't get next to you, babe)
(Can't get next to you)
I can't get next to you, babe

I THANK YOU
I.Hayes / D.Porter
(3:49)

You didn't have to love me like you did, but you did, but you did and I thank you
You didn't have to squeeze me like you did, but you did, but you did and I thank you

If you took your love somewhere else
I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death
You make me feel like I've never felt
It feels so good, I have to holler for help

You didn't have to squeeze me like you did, but you did, but you did and I thank you
You didn't have to hold me like you did, but you did, but you did and I thank you

Every day there's something new
You pull out your bag and you're fine to do
You've got to try some new things too
Just so I can keep up with you

You didn't have to shake me like you did, but you did, yes you did and I thank you
You didn't have to make me like you did, but you did, but you did and I thank you

All my life I've been short-changed
Without your love, baby, it's a crying shame
Now I know what they were talking about
When they say they're being turned out
I want to thank you, baby

You didn't have to love me like you did, but you did, but you did and I thank you
You didn't have to hold me like you did, but you did, yes you did and I thank you

You didn't have to squeeze me like you did, but you did, yes you did and I thank you
You didn't have to hold me like you did, but you did, yes you did and I thank you
Thank you, baby

(Thank you, thank you)

(Repeat x 10)

SOUL REASON
J.Pescetto / S.Diamond
(4:13)

In my wildest dreams never thought I'd see the day someone could change me
You walked into my life, made me feel so alive
Now, I'm just not the same me

You're my soul reason for feeling this way
Come and warm me like the sun
You're my inspiration, you're every breath I take
You're my soul reason
(Soul reason)
I laugh, I cry and I love

When my world turns blue, all I have to do is hold you here inside me
Sometimes I wonder how I made it up 'til now
Without you here beside me

You're my soul reason for feeling this way
Come and warm me like the sun
You're my inspiration, you're every breath I take
You're my soul reason
(You're my soul reason)
I laugh, I cry and I love

Out of nowhere a smile might cross my face
It can happen, baby, at any time or any place
Ain't nobody like you
(Ain't nobody like you)

You're my soul reason for feeling this way
Come and warm me like the sun
You're my inspiration for every breath I take
You're my soul reason
(Soul reason)

You're my soul reason for feeling this way
Come and warm me like the sun
You're my inspiration for every breath I take
You're my soul reason
(You're my soul reason)
I laugh, I cry, I live, I die and I love

You're my soul reason
You're my soul
(Soul reason)
You're my soul reason, darling
You're my soul reason
You're my soul, you're my soul
(Soul reason)
(You're my soul reason)
You're my soul
(Soul reason)
You're my soul reason
(You're my soul reason)
(Soul reason)
You're my soul
(You're my soul reason)
(Soul reason)

THE WAY
G.Wells
(4:42)

I've come to talk with you my friend
Love's a message that I send
If you don't know what's going on
Everything just seems so wrong

If there is trouble in your life
Take the time to realise
That you will never be alone
Mother love will take you home

Hang on to your independence
To get you through the day
We all need a little help along the way

I feel the sadness in your heart
Always tearing you apart
Right now I'm reaching out my hand
I know your heart will understand

Hang on to your independence
To get you through the day
We all need a little help along the way
We all need a little help along the way

Although the night is dark and cold
I send a message to your soul
That I've been with you from the start
And we will never be apart

Hang on to your independence
To get you through the day
We all need a little help along the way
We all need a little help along the way

WALK AWAY
O.Sain
(4:20)

I looked there across to the horizon
The moon was bright and high up in the east
I stretched out to touch what I was seeing
And then I looked up and found it out of reach

Diamonds on the water
I saw starfire on the sea
There were diamonds on the water
You don't need to sleep to have a dream

I believe that certain things can happen
To change the very nature of the beast
And I have been a witness to survival
Nothing really has to rest in peace

Diamonds on the water
I saw starfire on the sea
There were diamonds on the water
You don't need to sleep to have a dream

Here I am, I'm standing on the edge of here and now
Here I am, my time is coming round
Here I am, dust to dust, I carry ancient ground

I am in a perfect situation
But thoughts intrude on me just like a thief
They steal me back to all that I would run from
Back from where I really want to be

Diamonds on the water
I saw starfire on the sea
There were diamonds on the water
You don't need to sleep

(Repeat x 3)

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
M. Bainbridge
(4:17)

I had a dream, it started long ago
That you were mine, but as the story goes
You walked into my life and tore me apart at the seams
Then in a flash you changed your mind again
And with a kiss you took away my pain
I'm playing with fire, it's burning right through to my soul

I've learned my lesson and you'd think I'd know
I'm going down, what a great way to go

Every morning, every evening
There aint no time I aint thinking 'bout the way you smile
You're the one that drives me wild

I was a fool to think that you would stay
And in a breath you took your love away
What else can I do?
(Cry me a river of tears)
Now all my sonny days have turned to grey
Nothin' but stormy clouds have come my way
But deep down inside I'm praying for lightning to strike

Just when I think I'm out of the rain
You want me back and here I go again

Every morning, every evening
There ain't no time I ain't thinking 'bout the way you smile
You're the one that drives me wild

When I'm waking or while I'm sleeping
There aint no time I aint dreaming 'bout you by my side
Every time I look into your eyes
It's plain for me to see
You're the only one for me

Just when I think I'm out of the rain
You call me up and you try to explain
Just say I'm crazy like the fool that I am
You want me back and here I go again

Every morning, every evening
There ain't no time I ain't thinking 'bout the way you smile
You're the one that drives me wild

When I'm waking or while I'm sleeping
There aint no time I aint dreaming 'bout you by my side
You're the one that drives me wild

(Every morning)
(Every evening)

(Repeat x 5)
