Side one

1. What Would You Do About You (If You Were Me)

What would you do
about you, if you were me
Follow your heart
or your head, which would it be
Should I hold on or let go
Tell me cause I don’t know
What would you do
about you, if you were me

Caution says wait
don’t open that door
You’ll only get hurt
like you did before
Run while you can and
don’t play the fool anymore
But I look at you
and I want to fall
Hold nothing back
and gamble it all
What in the world should I do
Tell me the truth

What would you do
about you, if you were me
Follow your heart
or your head, which would it be
Should I hold on or let go
Tell me cause I don’t know
What you do about you
If you were me

You could be my rainbow’s end
Or a heartache too
big to ever mend
I can’t decide by myself
I need your help

What would you do about you,
if you were me
Follow your heart or your head,
which would it be
Should I hold on or let go
Tell me cause I don’t know
What would you do about you
If you were me

Please tell me
What would you do about you
If you were me

2. Slowly But Surely

Today I went for minutes
without you on my mind
It was only seconds yesterday
I only took your picture out
a half a dozen times
The last time just one
teardrop fell upon your face

Slowly but surely,
step by step I’ll forget
I loved and lost you
Time’s gonna heal me you can bet
Slowly but it surely hasn’t yet

Last night I walked the floor
till a little after three
Tonight I was only up till two
I’m not out of the woods yet
But I can finally see
A little daylight up ahead
Shining through

Slowly but surely, step by step
I’ll forget I loved and lost you
Time’s gonna heal me you can bet
Slowly but it surely hasn’t yet

3. What’s In It For Me

Before my love for
you gets any stronger
Before I find that
I’m in way too deep
I need to know you’re
feeling what I’m feeling
So look inside your heart,
and tell me honestly

What’s in it for me
Is there a love I can believe in
Or just a temporary feeling
That will fade away in time
I can’t give this heart of mine
If you can’t lay yours on the line
So look inside your heart
and tell me, please
What’s in it for me

I hope you’ll say you
want my love forever
I pray you’ll say I’m
all you’ll ever need
But if you can’t,
it’s better now I know it
So, darling, search your heart
and tell me what you see

What’s in it for me
Is there a love I can believe in
Or just a temporary feeling
That will fade away in time
I can’t give this heart of mine
If you can’t lay yours on the line
So look inside your heart
and tell me, please
What’s in it for me

4. Steppin’ Stone

Baby you’ve been treading
on dangerous ground
Better back up better slow it down
I ain’t going to be satisfied
Until we’re walking side by side

The road to love
gets rough at times
And some poor souls
get left behind
Don’t want to wake up
and find you gone
I want to more than
your stepping stone

I’ve been let down,
put off and cast aside
Baby don’t walk all over my pride
You can chase your dreams
Just take me along
I want to be more than
your stepping stone

The road to love
gets rough at times
And some poor souls
get left behind
Don’t want to wake up
and find you gone
I want to more than
your stepping stone

Those girls downtown
won’t leave you alone
Fast talk, slow walk,
coming on strong
Keep in mind that
my love is true
Let me be the rock
that you hold on to

The road to love
gets rough at times
And some poor souls
get left behind
Don’t want to wake up
and find you gone
I want to more than
your stepping stone

Gotta be more than
your stepping stone

5. What’s A Little Love Between Friends

Glad you called, wanted to talk
Isn’t that what friends are for
Hours ago we didn’t
know a conversation
Could lead to so much more
Moonlight snuck right up behind us
How could we know
that love would find us
And blind us

What’s a little love behind friends
Some unexpected feelings
What’s a little love,
a little change of heart
Let’s keep on touching this way
No need to be afraid
To go somewhere we’ve never been
What’s a little love between friends

How many years
of lovers and tears
Have we pulled each other through
Now what a surprise to look in
two familiar eyes
And discover something new
You and me ending up together
That’s what I call making
a good thing better
So much better

What’s a little love behind friends
Some unexpected feelings
What’s a little love,
a little change of heart
Let’s keep on touching this way
No need to be afraid
To go somewhere we’ve never been
What’s a little love between friends

Side Two

1. If You Think About It Call Me

I know you’re busy
I won’t keep you now
There is something I need
to talk to you about
If you think about it call me

I’ve got a question
keeping me up nights
Do you ever wish we’d
never said good-bye
If you think about it call me

I’ve been thinking about
all the love we shared
If you think about it call me
All the ways we gave
and the ways we cared
We really had some magic there
I’ve been thinking back together
is how we ought to be
Do you think about it
If you think about it call me

I keep your memory
deep inside my heart
Where you took me
when you took me in your arms
If you think about it call me

I’m not ashamed
to say it first
I miss you, baby, and
want it back the way we were
If you think about it call me

I’ve been thinking about
all the love we made
If you think about it call me
From the light of night
till the light of day
I want to love again that way
I’ve been thinking back together
is how we ought to be
Do you think about it
If you think about it call me

Love was right for me and you
And if you feel the same way too
I’ll be waiting to hear from you

I’m not ashamed to say it first
I miss you, baby, and
want it back the way we were
If you think about it call me
If you think about it call me
Please, call me

Do you think about it, call me

2. Help Me Get Over You

Desperately, I fell
for you so desperately
I never even stopped to think
There’d be a price to pay
Now you’re gone and
you say I should carry on
I’m finding out that’s
easier said than done
My heart won’t work that way

So help me get over you
Break me from being true
Make me believe we’re through
Don’t leave me hanging on
Tell me you never cared
And I’ll walk away I swear
If it’s the last thing you do
Come back, and help me get over you

Memory, I wish that’s
all you were to me
Just as it used to be
The way I am to you
But every day I hurt
for you the same old way
I guess it’s true that
time heals everything
But the heart of a fool

So help me get over you
Break me from being true
Make me believe we’re through
Don’t leave me hanging on
Tell me you never cared
And I’ll walk away I swear
If it’s the last thing you do
Come back and help me get over you

3. A Too Blue Moon

It’s a too blue moon
We awoke too soon
Wishing you were
still here with me
Kind of moonlight
Shining in the sky
Just a little too bright tonight
I don’t know why
you’d say good-bye
Things happen like that
I know they do
But now for anything
but think of you
The moon is just a little too blue

I’ve got nothing
to complain about
It’s a pretty nice night
and I’m going out
Where the music plays
loud and sweet
Though there’s nothing
really wrong with me

Now it’s just that
there’s a too blue moon
We awoke too soon
Wishing you were still here with me
Kind of moonlight
Shining in the sky
Just a little too bright tonight

I tell my friends that I’m over you
They worry so, so that’s what I do
And maybe some day,
well it may be so
But for now me and
your memory know, oh

There’s always a too blue moon
We awoke too soon
Wishing you were still here with me
Kind of moonlight
Shining in the sky
Just a little too bright tonight
I don’t know why you’d say good-bye
Things happen like that
I know they do
But now for anything but think of you
The moon is just a little too blue

4. Love Speaks Louder Than Words

Love speaks louder than words
Every time our eyes meet
I can hear my heart beat
It’s like no sound that I’ve ever heard
Love speaks louder than words

There’s at least a thousand lines
They’ve been used a million times
But none of them could ever say
What I feel when you look my way

Love speaks louder than words
Every time our eyes meet
I can hear my heart beat
It’s like no sound that I’ve ever heard
Love speaks louder than words

I don’t ever have to try to guess
If you love me cause I know it’s yes
I don’t believe that you could ever say
What I’m seeing written on your face

Love speaks louder than words
Every time our eyes meet
I can hear my heart beat
It’s like no sound that I’ve ever heard
Love speaks louder than words

It’s not that I don’t like to hear
When you whisper in my ear
Your tender voice I can’t refuse
I love the things you do

Love speaks louder than words
Every time our eyes meet
I can hear my heart beat
It’s like no sound that I’ve ever heard
Love speaks louder than words

5. Let Me Be The First

Let me be the first one in your life
To never make you cry
Let this be the first time you believe
That love will never leave
Take a chance on me tonight
It’s not too late to do it right

Let me be the first
The first to make it last
Let me be the first
Don’t give up so fast
Let me be the first
Forget the past
Let me be the first
The first to make it last

You’ve had other lovers
in your arms
Who only did you harm
Now while your heartache is history
You know you’re safe with me
We’re the only ones who matter
What you want is what I’m after

Let me be the first
The first to make it last
Let me be the first
Don’t give up so fast
Let me be the first
Forget the past
Let me be the first
The first to make it last

I’ve waited all my
life to find you
Put your broken
dreams behind you
We’ve got a reason
to be together
This kind of feeling
could last forever

Let me be the first
The first to make it last
Let me be the first
Don’t give up so fast
Let me be the first
Forget the past
Let me be the first
The first to make it last
