1. LONGING IN THEIR HEARTS

Let me tell you 'bout a friend of mine
He's a short order cook
Long on speed, short on spice
He reads his customers like a book
He's seen this, and he's done that
Now he's makin' fried eggs an art
But there's one thing he can't fix no how
There's a longing in his heart.

He's tried for years to work it out
At the grill and at his home
Well he talks to his friends, talks to himself
He talks the chicken right off the bone
Talks to his woman and she understands
You know they're always eye to eye
She runs the join, They live out back
Small House under a Big sky.

Well even the stars at night agree
The sky is falling apart
She knows cause she can feel it too
There's a longing in her heart
A longing in her heart
Longing in her heart.

Well now you and me, we're just like them
We never wanted to be alone,
so we made a pact, sealed with desire
for a happier house and home.

Only to find it doens't untie
The know where feelings die
There's a longing deep inside our hearts
And no one to tell us why.


Our friends aren't looking for anything new
They wouldn't know where to look.

Well her, she like running the joint
And he likes being a cook
Together they're doing very well
They're might glad they could
But there's a fire burning towards them now
Coming from a distant wood.

And eve the stars at night agree
that the sky is falling apart
We know 'cause we can feel it too
There's a longing in our hearts.


2. LOVE SNEAKIN' UP ON YOU

Rainy Night, I'm All Alone
Sittin' Here Waitin' For Your
Voice on the Phone
Fever Turns to Cold, Cold Sweat
Thinkin' About the Things We Ain't Done yet.

Tell me now, I've got to know,
do you feel the same
Do you just light up at the mention of my name?

Don't worry baby, it ain't nothin' new
That's just love sneakin' up on you
If your whole world's shakin' and you feel like I do
That's just love sneakin' up on you.

Nowhere on Earth for your heart to hide
Once love comes sneakin' upon your blindside
And you might as well try to Stop the Rain
Or stand in the tracks of a Runaway Train
You just can't fight it when a thing's meant to be
So come on let's finish what you started with me.

Don't worry baby, it ain't nothin' new
That's just love sneakin' up on you
If your whole world's shakin' and you feel like I do
That's just love sneakin' up on you.


3. BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE

Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool baby, you're strange but not a stranger
I'm an oridinary girl and I'm burnin' down the house.

Hold tight, wait till this party's over
Hold tight, well we're gonna be in for some nasty weather
There has got to be a way and we're burnin' down the house.

Here's your ticket, pack your bags, it's time for goin' overboard
Transportation is here
Close enough but we're not too far, bet you're wonderin' where you are
Fight fire with fire.

All wet, and you might need a raincoat
Shake down, my dreams are walkin' in broad daylight
365 degrees and we're burnin' down the house.

My house, out of the ordinary
That's right, I don't wanna really hurt nobody
Some things sure sweep me off my feet
And we're burnin down the house.

Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool baby, you're strange but not a stranger
I'm an oridinary girl and I'm burnin' down the house.


4. I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me.

CHORUS: Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't.


I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight.

CHORUS: Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't.


5. I BELIEVE I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU

I don't know what's wrong with me
I've been foolish as a fool can be
Baby, I can't sleep at night
And I lost my appetite
Went to the doctor but he don't know
It's getting to where it ain’t funny no more
Tell me baby what am I gonna do
I believe I'm in love with you.

I believe I'm in love with you
Tell me baby that you love me, too
I can't fight it, baby I decided
I'm in love with you.

I guess this time I realize
For you baby I got eyes
Come on baby and give me a chance
All I need is your romance
You know what I've been tryin' to find
Baby baby your just my kind
I’m tellin you baby I’ll be true
I believe I'm in love with you.

I believe I'm in love with you
Tell me baby that you love me, too
I can't fight, baby I decided
I'm in love with you.


6. ROCK STEADY

You need a man that'll treat you like the woman you are
Those little boys are just fooling around with your heart

Whatcha gonna do now that you're all alone?
You need a rock not a rollin' stone.

Yeah so when a boy
it just ain't enough
You need a man made of stronger stuff
Get ready
Hey.

Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you.

Just me and you baby.

You need somebody who will help you with your heavy load
Well I've been there baby, love can be a rocky road.

Well I can bend but I won't break
cause you ain't got what I can't take.

So when you're tired of those little girls
You want a woman that'll rock your world
Get ready, hey yeah
Woh oh oh.

Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you.

Amateurs and diletants
They can't give you what you really want
When all the other have been untrue
I'll give you something you can hold on to.

Oh.

Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Baby me and you.

Oh baby
Rock Steady
Oh rock steady
You know what I'm talkin' about
C'mon and rock it baby
I want you to rock it baby
C'mon and rock it baby
Now baby rock it baby.

Oh.

Rock steady all night long.


8. ANGEL FROM MONTGOMERY

I am an old woman
Named after my mother
An old man is another
Child who's grown old.

If dreams were thunder
Lightning was desire
This old house would've burned down
A long time ago.

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this living
Is just a hard way to go.

When i was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
It wasn't much to look at
It was a free ramblin' man
There was a long time
No matter how I tried
The years they just rolled by
Like a broken down dam.

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this living
Is just a hard way to go.

There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear them there buzzin'
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
But how the hell can a person
Go on to work in the morning
To come home in the evening
And have nothing to say.

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this living
Is just a hard way to go.
