Sometimes I feel like I am a boxer Seems like I'm always standing in the ring And then I find someone's been in my locker And left me a note that says I can't sing I'll do anything but break dance for ya, darlin' I just stepped out of the donniker I don't know what happened and I can't remember But I was soon to discover That my radio had been broken I'll do anything but break dance for ya, darlin' Don't you know that I love you? Love you Don't you know that I love you? Love you All the folks on dope in search of hope Everybody and the lonely orphans And everyone around the world Every boy and every girl For all the good times Always remember and never forget In my secret heart I'll do anything but break dance for ya, darlin' Don't you know that I love you? Love you Don't you know that I love you? Love you

I'd rather not be kissed but held slowly in your arms. I'd rather not be kissed but held slowly in your arms. Can't take it all at once. Let the feeling last forever. Can't take it all at once then gone. Need to feel so safe and secure. Been needing someone to make my world smaller. I want knowing everything surrounding me. I'd rather not be kissed but held in your arms forever.

You give your hand to me And then you say, "Hello" And I can hardly speak My heart is beating so And anyone can tell You think you know me well Well, you don't know me no No you don't know the one Who dreams of you each night And longs to kiss your lips And longs to hold you tight To you I'm just a friend That's all I've ever been No you don't know me I never knew the art of making love Though my heart aches with love for you, yeah Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by A chance that you might love me too You give your hand to me And then you say, "Goodbye" And I watched you walk away Beside the lucky guy No you'll never ever know The one who loved you so No you don't know me

You're the one that makes my day a dream come true, Yet and still you wander if I think of you, You ought to see how the other girls behave when you're not around, And only then you would know that it's on your finger I'm wound Chorus: If you were there you'd know If you were there you'd know If you were there you'd know If you were there you'd know That i care There's no need for you not to have faith in me, 'cause it's by your side girl that I long to be, Yes there are times with my friends when I don't have much to say, What you don't know is with you I could never act that way Chorus: If you were there you'd know If you were there you'd know If you were there you'd know If you were there you'd know That i care I care for you baby I swear I care for you I care for you baby There's no need for you not to have faith in me, 'cause it's by your side girl that I long to be, Yes there are times with my friends when I don't have much to say, What you don't know is with you I could never act that way Chorus: If you were there you'd know If you were there you'd know If you were there you'd know If you were there you'd know That i care I care for you baby I swear I care for you I care for you baby You know I care for you.....

Caroline, No 02:47
Where did your long hair go Where is the girl I used to know How could you lose that happy glow Oh, caroline no Who took that look away I remember how you used to say Youd never change, but that's not true Oh, caroline you Break my heart I want to go and cry Its so sad to watch a sweet thing die Oh, caroline why Could I ever find in you again Things that made me love you so much then Could we ever bring em back once they have gone Oh, caroline no

I should care, I should go around weeping I should care, I should go without sleeping Strangely enough, I sleep well 'cept for a dream or two But then I count my sheep well Funny how sheep can lull you to sleep So I should care, I should let it upset me I should care but it just doesn't get me Maybe I won't find someone as lovely as you But I should care and I do

China Gate 02:37
China Gate, China Gate Many moons and many hearts you separate Like two arms open wide Some you welcome in and some must stay outside Bowl of rice, bitter tea Is this all the good earth has to offer me? Will I find peace of mind? Does my true love wait behind the China Gate?

I'm Easy 03:50
It's not my way to love you just when no one's looking It's not my way to take your hand if I'm not sure It's not my way to let you see what's going on inside of me When it's a love you won't be needing, you're not free Please stop pulling at my sleeve if you're just playing If you won't take the things you make me want to give I never cared too much for games and this one's driving me insane You're not half as free to wander as you claim But I'm easy I'm easy Give the word and I'll play your game So that's how it ought to be Because I'm easy Don't lead me on if there's nowhere for you to take me If loving you would have to be a sometime thing I can't put bars on my insides My love is something I can't hide It still hurts when I recall the times I've cried I'm easy I'm easy Take my hand and pull me down I won't put up any fight Because I'm easy Don't do me favors, let me watch you from a distance 'Cause when you're near, I find it hard to keep my head And when your eyes throw light at mine It's enough to change my mind Make me leave my cautious words and ways behind That's why I'm easy Ya, I'm easy Say you want me, I'll come running Without taking time to think Because I'm easy Ya, I'm easy Take my hand and pull me down I won't put up any fight Because I'm easy Ya, I'm easy Give the word, I'll play your game So that's how it ought to be Because I'm easy

Make the world go away And get it off my shoulders Say the things you used to say And make the world go away Do you remember when you loved me Before the world took me astray? If you do, then forgive me And make the world go away Make the world go away And get it off my shoulders Say the things you used to say And make the world go away I'm sorry if I hurt you I'll make it up day by day Just say you love me like you used to And make the world go away Make the world go away And get it off my shoulders Say the things you used to say And make the world go away Say the things you used to say And make the world go away

Oh my baby is like a little black star He's just like his daddy way yonder far He's just like his daddy way yonder far Gwan tell my Jesus about my little black star Gwan tell my Jesus just where he are Gwan tell my Jesus all about my star Down in that swamp those mean ol' alligators fight They fight all day, they fight all night Gwan tell my Jesus how those 'gators fight Now don't you worry, my little honey black star No 'gator gwan get you here where you are No 'gator gwan get my little black star When I gets to heaven tell Jesus all about my star 'Cause he's like his daddy way yonder far He's just like his daddy way yonder far Oh my baby is like a little black star He's just like his daddy way yonder far He's just like his daddy way yonder far

It's not unusual to be loved by anyone It's not unusual to have fun with anyone But when I see you hanging about with anyone It's not unusual to see me cry, I wanna die It's not unusual to go out at any time But when I see you out and about it's such a crime If you should ever want to be loved by anyone It's not unusual it happens every day no matter what you say You'll find it happens all the time Love will never do what you want it to Why can't this crazy love be mine? It's not unusual to be mad with anyone It's not unusual to be sad with anyone But if I ever find that you've changed at anytime It's not unusual to find out I'm in love with you
