  • The Only One
    
    Well I made up my mind 
    Not gonna let you get away 
    To think that I'm the lucky guy 
    I've almost got it made 
    
    Cause it's been so long
    Since I've felt so strong 
    About anyone at all 
    I get so excited 
    I ain't gonna fight it 
    I think I might be fallin' in love 
    
    So come on - let's get it right 
    Cause you're the only one 
    So come on - we ain't got all night 
    Cause you're the only one 
    
    Last night 
    I thought you mighta stayed 
    If I'd a' had the guts 
    I woulda pushed my luck 
    But then you mighta turned away 
    
    How do I explain 
    I know it sounds insane 
    But then I've been through this before
    In just a matter of time 
    You could change your mind
    You could turn and walk right hrough that door
    
    So come on - let's get it straight 
    Cause you're the only one 
    So come on - I just can't wait 
    Cause you're the only one

    Take Me Back
    
    I shoulda seen it coming 
    I shoulda seen the signs 
    Didn't really think that she needs me
    Must've 'bin blind 
    
    She didn't give me a warning 
    Said I shouldn't treat you wrong 
    But when I woke up this mornin' 
    She was gone gone gone 
    
    She said... 
    Take me back won't ya
    Take me back won't ya 
    I'll change my ways 
    Take me back won't ya 
    Take me back won't ya 
    I'm not the same 
    
    She didn't tell me about it 
    Am I supposed to read your mind 
    You make me get up and shout it 
    It's a crime crime crime 
    
    I shoulda seen it coming 
    I shoulda seen the signs 
    Didn't really think that she needs me 
    Must've 'bin blind 
    
    She said...
    Take me back won't ya 
    Take me back won't ya 
    I'll change my ways 
    Take me back won't ya 
    Take me back won't ya 
    I'm not the same 
    
    Won't ya take me back 
    Won't ya take me back

    This Time
    
    I think about her all the time
    She's my fantasy 
    An image burnin' in my mind 
    Callin' out to me 
    
    While my imagination's runnin' wild 
    Yeah - things are getting clearer 
    
    This time everything is alright 
    No way she's gonna get away 
    This time everything is easy 
    Any day - I'm gonna make her mine 
    
    I've thought of every word I'd say
    Give or take a few 
    But she turns and slowly walks away 
    What do I have to do 
    
    Hey - turn up your radio 
    Oh - there's somethin' I want you to know 
    
    This time everything is alright 
    No way she's gonna get away 
    This time everything is easy 
    Any day - I'm gonna make her mine 
    
    Well it's hard to take cause she's miles away 
    And I've waited a long time
    But the feelin's right and darlin' one of these nights 
    Yeah - I'm gonna let you know 
    
    This time everything is alright 
    No way she's gonna get away 
    This time everything is easy 
    Any day - I'm gonna make her mine

    Cuts Like a Knife
    
    Drivin' home this evening 
    I coulda sworn we had it all worked out 
    You had this boy believin' 
    Way beyond the shadow of a doubt 
    
    Then I heard it on the street 
    I heard you mighta found somebody new 
    Well who is he baby - who is he 
    And tell me what he means to you 
    
    I took it all for granted 
    But how was I to know 
    That you'd be letting go 
    
    Now it cuts like a knife 
    But it feels so right 
    It cuts like a knife 
    But it feels so right 
    
    There's times I've 'bin mistaken 
    There's times I thought I'd 'bin misunderstood 
    So wait a minute darlin' 
    Can't you see we did the best we could 
    
    This wouldn't be the first time 
    Things have gone astray 
    Now you've thrown it all away 
    
    Now it cuts like a knife 
    But It feels so right 
    It cuts like a knife 
    But it feels so right

    I'm Ready
    
    I'd like to see you, thought I'd let you know 
    I wanna be with you everyday 
    Cause I've got a feeling that beginning to grow 
    And there's only one thing I wanna say 
    
    I'm ready - to love you 
    I'm ready - to hold you 
    I'm ready - I'm ready 
    Ready as I'm gonna be 
    
    She left me a long note when she left me here 
    Told me that love was hard to find 
    But baby it's easy and I'll make it clear 
    That there's only one thing on my mind 
    
    I'm ready - to love you 
    I'm reday - to hold you 
    I'm ready - I'm ready 
    Ready as I'm gonna be

    What's It Gonna Be
    
    If it was up to me 
    I'd say it's his decision
    And maybe you should wait and see 
    You haven't got a choice 
    You gotta second guess him 
    So go ahead 
    
    What's it gonna be 
    Well you need an answer 
    What's it gonna be 
    All you get is no reply 
    
    If it was up to you 
    You'd say you need protection 
    When all you really need is me 
    Now that's the bottom line 
    It's your sincere intention 
    So go ahead 
    
    What's it gonna be 
    Well you need an answer 
    What's it gonna be 
    All you get is no reply 
    
    What's it gonna be 
    Well you need an answer 
    What's it gonna be 
    All you get is no reply 
    
    You've been waiting for so long 
    Now you say you can't go on 
    You can't go on, oh no

    Don't Leave Me Lonely
    
    I won't stand bein' broken hearted 
    I won't be pushed around 
    
    The rules were set when we got started 
    But lately I have found 
    
    We've spent too little time and too much heartache 
    I feel we're losin' ground 
    
    And lately I've been hearin' 
    You won't be needin' me around 
    
    Don't leave me lonely 
    Just wanna be right by your side
    Your one and only - tonite 
    
    So don't leave me lonely 
    I need you here all the time 
    So don't leave me lonely - oh no
    
    You say you need your independence 
    Well I need mine 
    
    Separate lives and separate feelings
    I guess that's fine 
    
    But that won't last - it's no solution
    I know it can't survive 
    
    And lately I've been thinkin'
    Thinkin' 'bout you all the time

    Let Him Know
    
    Another day goes by and still you 
    wonder what happened 
    You'd give the world for one more try
    But you're too shy to ask him 
    You don't wanna ask him now 
    I know your heart will pull you through 
    If he means that much to you - 
    you gotta let him know 
    
    Let him know that you love him 
    You gotta let him know 
    
    What can I say it's up to you 
    You gotta make up your own mind
    Well it's your life it's up to you 
    Cause you didn't believe me 
    You still don't believe me 
    Now you're gonna see it's all comin' true
    That's why I'm leavin' it up to you 
    Yeah you gotta let him know 
    
    The news is out I guess you heard 
    I shouldn't breathe a single word 
    The bottom line is nothing's gonna stop you now 
    You gotta let him know...

    The Best Was Yet to Come
    
    Just a small town girl in the city lights 
    The best was yet to come 
    Then lonely days turned to endless nights
    The best was yet to come 
    
    How were you to know 
    That you would be the lucky one 
    Ain't it funny how time flies 
    When the best is yet to come 
    
    You can cry yourself to sleep at night 
    You can't change the things you've done 
    You had it there then it slipped away 
    Yeah you left the song unsung 
    
    Even through your tears 
    I never saw you come undone 
    What's so good about goodbye 
    When the best was yet to come 
    
    I find myself thinkin' about yesterday
    When you were and livin' in a dream 
    In the moment that it takes 
    You find you made your first mistake 
    Like the setting sun... 
    You turn around it's gone 
    
    Just a small town girl who had it made 
    Or so the story goes 
    She had it there then it slipped 
    Oh - how was she to know 
    
    Even through her tears 
    I never saw her come undone
    Ain't it funny how time flies 
    When the best is yet to come 
    What's so good about goodbye 
    When the best was yet to come
