1. Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby,
ain't nothing like the real thing.
Mmmm, ain't nothing like the real thing, baby,
ain't nothing like the real thing.

Oh baby,
Ooo, I've got your picture
hanging on the wall, but it can't see
or come to me when I call your name.
I realize it's just a picture inside a frame.

I read your letters
when you're not near me,
but they don't move me
and they don't groove me
like when I hear your sweet
voice whispering in my ear.
Their saying...
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby,
ain't nothing like the real thing.

I play the game of fantasy,
I pretend I'm not in reality.
I need the shelter of
your arms to comfort me.
No other sound is quite
the same as your name,
no touch can do as half as much
to make me feel better,
so let's stay together.

I've got some memories
to look back on,
though they help
when you phone
and I'm well aware
nothing can take your place,
of being there.

So baby.
So glad we got the real thing, baby,
so glad we got the real thing.
So glad we got the real thing, baby,
oh, so glad we got the real thing.
So glad we got the real thing, baby,
so glad we got the real thing.

2. Anytime Sunshine

On a winter’s day
In a small café I met her
When she turned and smiled at me
I knew I had to stay

As the time went by
And the winter sky grew darker
It was hard to leave her there
When I heard her say

Time will not change me
Winter, rain or snow
Look at me, aww look at me
I’ll be here so
come on and love me

Anytime sunshine
I’ll be here anytime
that you want me
Anytime sunshine
Anytime you’re near
You bring me sunshine
Every time you call
Anytime sunshine
Anytime at all

Now ever since that day
To the small café I wander
Knowing she’d be waitin’ there
And beggin’ me to stay
Now, let the years go past
In my mind she’ll last forever
Still I feel her close to me
And I’ll hear her say

Time will not change me
Winter, rain or snow
Look at me, aww look at me
I’ll be here so
come on and love me

Anytime sunshine
I’ll be here anytime
that you want me
Anytime sunshine
Anytime you’re near
You bring me sunshine
Every time you call
Anytime sunshine
Anytime at all

Anytime sunshine
I’ll be here anytime
that you want me
Anytime sunshine
I’ll be here anytime
that you want me
Anytime sunshine
I’ll be here anytime
that you want me

3. It's All Been Said Before

In your arms safe and warm
Leading me to the right
Never doing wrong
Prisoner of love am I
Caught in a web of tenderness

Haunting me loving you
more each day endlessly
Even your pain I bear
For a sign you care
But it’s never there

I’m a fool, say no more
‘cause it’s all been said before
In the mirror of my mind
Your reflection’s all I find
I’m a slave at your door
Though it’s all been said before
And the saddest thing I do
I just a keep on lovin’ you

Candlelight in your eyes
You have the power to hypnotize
Hold the back the hands of time
Don’t wait tomorrow at my feet
Haunting me
Only the strong survive easily
I never see the lies
hiding in your eyes
And it’s no surprise

I’m a fool, say no more
‘Cause it’s all been said before
In the mirror of my mind
Your reflection is all I find
I’m a slave at your door
Though it’s all been said before
And the saddest thing I do
I just a keep on loving you

4. Which Way You Goin' Billy

Which way you goin’ Billy
Can I go too
Which way you goin’ Billy
Can I go with you

I really love you Billy
And all the time
I thought you loved me Billy
And you were mine
I’m going to miss you Billy
And though I’m trying
I’m hurtin’ so bad Billy
I can’t help cryin’

You are my own babe
My heart and my soul babe
I’d have nothing to show babe
If you should go away

You are my own babe
My heart and my soul babe
I’d have nothing to show babe
If you should go

Which way you goin’ Billy
Or need I ask
‘Cause you don’t want me Billy
You’re free at last
I won’t forget you Billy
Though all my life
I’ll always love you Billy
I’ll stay your wife

You are my own babe
My heart and my soul babe
I’d have nothing to show babe
If you should go away

You are my own babe
My heart and my soul babe
I’d have nothing to show babe
If you should go

You are my own babe
My heart and my soul babe
I have nothing to show babe
If you should go

Side Two

1. You Broke My Heart

You, you broke my heart
And you made me cry
In that cold evening
I didn’t have time
To know the why
You deserted me

Now I’ll just have to wait
To see your face
For the last evening
You must save my life
Since we’re apart
Girl I lost my mind
Oooh, I lost my mind

You, you broke my heart
And you made me cry
In that cold evening
I didn’t have time
To know the why
You deserted me

Sometimes I hear your voice
Just singing songs
Like in those evenings
Oh, but I cried, cried like a child
Because I know
Girl you’ll never come
Ooh, you’ll never come

Oh, but I cried, cried like a child
Because I know
Girl you’ll never know
Whoa, whoa but I cried
Cried like a child
Because I know
Girl you’ll never come

2. Now We're Together

I’ve never been the same
Since you walked out of my life
Didn’t you know
I didn’t know
I only went away
‘Cause you nearly broke my heart
Didn’t you know
I didn’t know

But now we’re together
And we’ll never remember
All the love that we let slip away
We’ll just love one another
And be good for each other
It was all meant to be this way

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooo, ooo

You know it really hurt
When I saw you with someone else
Didn’t you know
I didn’t know
I wasn’t playing a game
I just thought you didn’t care
Didn’t you know
I didn’t know

There’s nothing we can do
To turn back the hands of time
It doesn’t matter, ‘cause we’re together
We were meant to be this way

‘Cause now we’re together
And we’ll never remember
All the love that we let slip away
We’ll just love one another
And be good for each other
It was all meant to be this way

Oh, now we’re together
And we’ll never remember
All the love that we let slip away

3. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me

Hold me, hold me
Never let me go
Until you’ve told me, told me
What I want to know
And then just hold me, hold me
Make me tell you
I’m in love with you

Oh, thrill me, thrill me
Walk me down the lane
Where shadows will be, will be
Hiding lovers just the same
As we’ll be, we’ll be
Make me tell you
I’m in love with you

They told us to be sensible
With our new love
Don’t be fooled thinking
This is the last we’ll find
Aw but they’ve never been
Alone with you my love
When you take me in your arms
You drive me out of my mind

Kiss me, kiss me
And when you do
I know that you will
Miss me, miss me
If we ever say adieu
So kiss me , kiss me
Make me tell me you
I’m in love with you

5.We Got Love

I will never find
Anyone better than you are
You are my everything
The breath of spring I rely on
I may never find
Eyes that are bluer than yours are
Someone better than you are
Would be so hard to find
I’ll go where you are
Anywhere that you are
Well, look over my shoulder
And I’ll be there

We got love
As long as we’re together
It really doesn’t matter
What happens to the world
We got love
There’s no one can deny us
The world may not stand by us
But the fact remains the same
We got love

Now, I may never speak
Words much truer than these are
Words that are sweeter
than these are
Are locked inside my mind
I will never touch
A flower softer than you are
Ours must be a new start
That no one’s ever seen
I’ll go where you are
Anywhere that you are
Well, look over my shoulder
And I’ll be there

We got love
