1. HEARTBEATS ACCELERATING

Love, love, where can you be?
Are you out there looking for me?
Love, love, where can you be?
Love, I am waiting
Heartbeats accelerating

Will you come when all is still
From the river or the hill
Love, love, where can you be
Love, I am waiting
Heartbeats accelerating

Will you come on a Saturday night
Maybe then the time will be right
Love, love, where can you be
Love, I am waiting
Heartbeats accelerating

When you steal into my room
What earthly body will you assume
Love, love, where can you be
Love, I am waiting
Heartbeats accelerating

Will you come on a Saturday night
Maybe then the time will be right
Love, love, where can you be
Love, I am waiting
Heartbeats accelerating

Love, love, where can you be?
Are you out there looking for me
Love, love, where can you be
Are you out there looking for me
Love, I am waiting
Heartbeats accelerating
Love, I am waiting
Heartbeats accelerating


2. DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO

Man I can understand how it might be kinda hard to love a girl like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know
I love you better than your own kin did from the very start
It's my own fault for what happens to my heart
You see I've always known you'd go

But you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean I'll never kiss your sweet lips again
Pay that no mind
Just find that dappled dream of yours
Come on back and see me when you can

Well I know they make you sad
They make you feel so bad
They say you don't treat me like you should
Folks got ways to make you feel no good
I guess they got no way to know
I've had my eyes wide open from the start
And boy you never lied to me
And the part of you they'll never see
Is the part you've shown to me

So you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean I'll never kiss those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind
Just find that dappled dream of yours
Come on back and see me
Come on back and see me
Come on back see me when you caa.............aaaaan oh oh


3. ANYONE WHO HAD A HEART

Anyone who ever loved could look at me
And know that I love you
Amyone who ever dreamed could look at me
And know I dream of you

Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart and hurt me
Like you hurt me and be so untrue
What am I to do

Every time you go away I always say
This time it's goodbye dear
Loving you the way I do I'd take you back
Without you I'd die dear

Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart and hurt me
Like you hurt me and be so untrue
What am I to do

Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart and hurt me
Like you hurt me and be so untrue
Anyone who had a heart would love me too
Anyone who had a heart would surely take me
In his arms and always love me
Why won't you, yeah
Anyone who had a heart would love me too
Anyone who had a heart would surely take me
In his arms and always love me
Why won't you
Yeah
Anyone who had a heart would love me too


4. DON'T TALK (PUT YOUR HEAD ON MY SHOULDER)

I can hear so much in your sighs
And I can see so much in your eyes
There are words we both could say

Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my hand and let me hear your heart beat

Being here with you feels so right
We could live forever tonight
Let's not think about tomorrow

And don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my hand and listen to my heart beat
Listen
Listen
Listen

Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk, close your eyes and be still


5. OH NO, NOT MY BABY

When my friends told me you had someone new
I didn't believe a single word was true
I showed them all I had faith in you
I just kept on saying

Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies

My mama told me when rumors spread
There's truth somewhere and I should use my head
But I didn't listen to a word she said
I kept right on saying

Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
You're not like those other boys
Who play with hearts like they were toys

Well you might have had a last minute fling
But I am sure it didn't mean a thing
Cause yesterday you gave me your ring
Now I'm glad that I kept on saying

Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies

Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby
Oh no not my baby
Oh no not my sweet baby


6. IT'S TOO SOON TO KNOW

Does he love me
It's too soon to know
Can I believe him
When he tells me so
And is he fooling
Is this all a game
Am I the fire
Or just another flame

A one-sided love would break my heart
He may be just acting and playing a part
If he don't love me
Let him tell me so
And I can't hold him
If he wants to go
And though I'll cry
When he's gone
I won't die
I'll live on
If it's so
It's too soon
Way too soon to know

And though I'll cry
When he's gone
I won't die
I'll live on
If it's so
It's too soon
Way too soon to know


7. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF

I just don't know what to do with myself
Don't know just what to do with myself
I'm so used to doing everything with you
Planning everything for two
And now that we're through

I just don't know what to do with my time
I'm so lonesome for you it's a crime
Going to a movie only makes me sad
Parties make me feel as bad
When I'm not with you
I just don't know what to do
Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to ease all the pain

I don't know just what to do with myself
I don't know just what to do with myself
Baby if your new love ever turns you down
Come back I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do
Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to ease all the pain

I don't know just what to do with myself
I don't know just what to do with myself
Baby if your new love ever turns you down
Come on back I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do
No no no
I don't know what else to do
I'm just so crazy for you
No no no no
I don't know what else to do
I don't know whaaaat else to do


8. A RIVER FOR HIM

I crossed on the river
There'll be no returning
I crossed all the bridges
I watched them all burning
And now I'm a stranger
To a strange land I'm driven
Where all is forgotten
And nothing's forgiven

[Chorus]
But I cried a river
A river for him
That's deeper and wider
Than I'll ever swim
The heart it will harden
The sorrow will dim
But I cried a river
A river for him

I think of him now
On the road I am taking
And wonder how long
His heart will be breaking
But he'll never hear when
The teardrops are falling
Or the sound of my voice
Or the name I am calling

[Chorus]

So weep for the sons
And the dear darling daughters
For the passing of time
And the parting of waters
For all who have passed through
This world long before me
To a far distant shore line
Where no one waits for me

[Chorus]


9. ADONDE VOY

La madrugada me ve corriendo
Bajo el cielo que va dando color
No salgas sol a nombrarme
A la fuerza de la immigracion

Un dolor que siento en el pecho
Es mi alma que sufre de amor
Pienso en ti y en tus brazos que esperan
Tus besos y tu pasion

Adonde voy, adonde voy
La esperanza es mi destinacion
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Por el monte profugo, voy

Dias, semanas, y meses
Paso muy lejos de ti
Muy pronto te llegara dinero
Yo te quiero tener junto a mi

El trabajo me llena las horas
Tu risa no puedo olividar
Vivir sin tu amor no es vida
Vivir de profugo, igual

Adonde voy, adonde voy
La esperanza es mi destinacion
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Por el monte profugo, voy

Adonde voy, adonde voy
La esperanza es mi destination
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Por el monte profugo, voy


10. YOU CAN'T TREAT THE WRONG MAN RIGHT

Can't you see he doesn't care
He likes to play with you that's all
He's waiting on someone else's call
He's playing it cool
Why's it so hard to reach you?

Why are you still out there
Beating your heart against the wall
Waiting for Jericho to fall
You hard-headed fool
Didn't your mama teach you
Anything at all

You can't treat the wrong man right
Or change a devil to an angel overnight
He'll wreck all your best laid plans for spite
You can't treat the wrong man right
You can't treat the right man wrong
When you're out on the town
Acting mean and head-strong
He'll sit home and wait for you all night long
You can't treat the right man wrong

I heard it on the telephone
A woman was whispering in my ear
And though I was trying not to hear
The message came through
She was someone who knew you
I guess she told me everything
I wasn't listening anyway
I know she had a lot to say
But nothing was clear
I only remember her voice
Above the sound of the pinball
Saying to me

You can't treat the wrong man right
Or change a devil to an angel overnight
He'll steal all your love and and fly by night
You can't treat the wrong man right
You can't treat the right man wrong
You can run all the way from here to Hong Kong
And he'll be waiting when you come back in sight
You can't treat the right man wrong
You can't treat the wrong man right


11. WINTER LIGHT

Hearts call
Hearts fall
Swallowed in the rain

Who knows
Life grows
Hollow and so vain

Wandering in the winter light
The wicked and the sane
Bear witness to salvation
And life starts over again

Now the clear sky is all around you
Aah aah
Love's shadow will surround you
All through the night

Star glowing in the twilight
Tell me true
Hope whispers and I will follow
Till you love me too

Ah ah ah

Now the clear sky is all around you
Aah aah
Love's shadow will surround you
All through the night

Star glowing in the twilight
Tell me true
Hope whispers and I will follow
Till you love me too

Ah ah ah
