HOLIDAY Living North of the forty-nine, you get Winter for half a year Living North of the forty-nine, you get tired of the wind and rain My cloths are soaked, my coat is wrecked, my shoes are damp with rain Wondering where the sun is. Will it never shine again? I need a holiday, holiday hey So I can wish all my cares away On a holiday, holiday hey So I can wish all my cares away Money’s spent, ain’t got the rent, I’ll need a place to stay Uninspired, I feel so tired, I’ve got to get away, some way I need a holiday, holiday hey So I can wish all my cares away On a holiday, holiday hey So I can wish all my cares away Overstressed, under duress, I curse the live-long day Unimpressed, my life’s a mess, I need a holiday, Oh yea! I need a holiday, holiday hey So I can wish all my cares away On a holiday, holiday hey So I can wish all my cares away I need a holiday, holiday hey So I can wish all my cares away On a holiday, holiday hey So I can wish all my cares away So I can wish all my cares away So I can wish all my cares away

Don't Say You Love Me 03:45

DON'T SAY YOU LOVE ME It’s not enough to say you love me Oh, I know that much is true It’s more the way you think about me When the working day is through It’s not enough to say you care That it’s me that takes you there To know you feel that way I do Don’t say you love me, say you want me! Say you want me, say you do Say you need me with your body Say you want me now, say it’s true All the stars up in the heavens Cannot thrill me like your eyes The yellow moon in all it’s splendor Shining brightly in the sky Take us back where we began To when my breath upon your skin Could turn each whisper to a sigh Don’t say you love me, say you want me! Say you want me, say you do Say you need me with your body Say you want me now, say it’s true Don’t say you love me, say you want me! Say you want me, say you do Say you need me with your body Say you want me now, say it’s true Don’t say you love me, say you want me! Say you want me, say you do Say you need me with your body Say you want me now, say it’s true

SEPARATE WAYS Separate ways, separate ways To leave and not to see you anymore Slip away, slip away Will you throw away the key Knowing all you meant to me how can you leave me this way? So far from you with so much left to say But you won’t talk to me, or let me know what’s on your mind But I’d give anything to make you stay I’d give anything if you would never go away Separate ways, separate ways To leave and not to see you anymore Slip away, slip away Will you throw away the key and lock the door For all our dreaming, you go and throw it all away You know, dreams alone won’t get you very far This guy you’re leaving with, will he make them all come true Or is he just a place to go after the bar? Is that what’s you’ve been after, Girl, whatcha really leaving for? Separate ways, separate ways To leave and not to see you anymore Slip away, slip away Will you throw away the key Separate ways, separate ways To leave and not to see you anymore Slip away, slip away Will you throw away the key I it him or is it me? Will you throw away the key and lock the door

LOVE IS (LOVE IS NOT) My pal Joey, I have known you for some tome You are a good man with good dreams Perhaps a bit naïve at times You have been blessed with all the best the world can give you And you accept it with the wonder of a child But Joey, please remember, the bigger is the garden The greater is the task at hand, pulling out the weeds Lesser is the time you’ll have for other such endeavors So be careful when you’re planting to hold back on the seeds Love is, love is not a sensible emotion Love is the passion in your soul Love is, love is not a sensible emotion Love is the passion in your soul Love is not measured by the ring around your finger Love is not physical, it is nothing you can hold You cannot buy or sell or trade it like possessions Love is measured by the passion in your soul Now Joey, I sure hope that you won’t misconstrue this message I’m happy for your happiness, and I envy you your place My one concern with living up to expectations Living right next to the Jones’s You get caught up in the race Love is not measured by the ring around your finger Love is not physical, it is nothing you can hold You cannot buy or sell or trade it like possessions Love is measured by the passion in your soul Love is not measured by the ring around your finger Love is not physical, it is nothing you can hold You cannot buy or sell or trade it like possessions Love is measured by the passion in your soul Love is, love is not a sensible emotion Love is the passion in your soul Love is, love is not a sensible emotion Love is the passion in your soul

GIRL'S GONNA KILL YOU You could turn the other way But it’s right before your eyes You try to make her happy While she fills your head with lies She runs your heart in circles until you don’t know what to do And if you don’t get smart, the girl’s gonna kill you Oh, there’s no use in pretending things could ever be the same She’s heartless like a hurricane, but twice as hard to tame If you don’t run for shelter, she’s gonna tear your world in two And if you don’t see that, the girl’s gonna kill you Oh, yes, the girl’s gonna, she’s gonna Hmm, oh no! The girl’s gonna kill you Oh, yes, the girl’s gonna, she’s gonna Hmm, oh no! The girl’s gonna kill you You've tried to take exception for the way that she behaves You offer your forgiveness, while she’s digging you your grave Any fool could see it, that is, any fool but you And if you don’t wise up, the girl’s gonna kill you Oh, yes, the girl’s gonna, she’s gonna Hmm, oh no! The girl’s gonna kill you Well, I did my best to warn you When I saw the whole thing start But who would have believed that it would ever go that far? No one can convince you, there’s nothing you can do And if you don’t give up, the girl’s gonna kill you Oh, yes, the girl’s gonna, she’s gonna Hmm, oh no! The girl’s gonna kill you Oh, yes, the girl’s gonna, she’s gonna Hmm, oh no! The girl’s gonna kill you Oh, yes, the girl’s gonna, she’s gonna Hmm, oh no!

DO RIGHT BY ME Oh, no Mama, I just don’t know anymore Rumours have it that you’ve done me wrong I don’t if it’s so, I can’t say if it’s true But need so much to believe in you Do right by me I keep thinking where do you go to at night And what could keep you there, ‘till the morning light After years I don’t know where I stand anymore Though I try so hard to believe Don’t do me wrong, do me wrong Do right by me When you were lonely, I was there for you To share your problems and to care for you Now you keep to yourself, leave me here on the shelf With those things you’re keeping from me Don’t do me wrong, do me wrong Do right by me Don’t do me wrong, do me wrong Do right by me Don’t you know what you’re doing? What you doin’ this for? Is it true, all they say? What you taking me for? After years I don’t know where I stand anymore Though I try so hard to believe Don’t do me wrong, do me wrong Do right by me Don’t do me wrong, do me wrong Do right by me Don’t do me wrong, do me wrong Do right by me

SUNSHINE & RAIN I saw you walking on the high road today I saw you walking with another I had to talk to you but I was afraid One thing might lead to another I want to tell you something no one else could hear I want to sit you down and whisper in your ear I can only love you one way (One way you say?) Every way, sunshine & rain I will not be happy ‘till you love me that way Every day, sunshine & rain I saw you talking with your girlfriends to day I heard them saying things about me And then you treated me like I wasn’t there I wonder if you care about me I can’t go on with all the whispering and stares Is that a way to treat someone who cares? I can only love you one way (One way you say?) Every way, sunshine & rain I will not be happy ‘till you love me that way Every day, sunshine & rain If you won’t listen, then you certainly won’t hear Do I have to hold you down and scream it in your ears? I can only love you one way (One way you say?) Every day, sunshine & rain I will not be happy ‘till you love me that way Every day, sunshine & rain I can only love you one way (One way you say?) Every day, sunshine & rain I will not be happy ‘till you love me that way Every day, sunshine & rain
