IF I MISS YOU AGAIN TONIGHT

(Ricci Mareno - Charlie Black - Marianne Mareno) « © '74 Jewel Music, ASCAP »
If I miss you again tonight
And I'm longin' to hold you tight
If the mood that I'm in is just like it's been
Then I'll be awake till the morning light
If I miss you just one more time
And I can't get you off my mind
Girl I'll know that it's true I'm still lovin' you
And how will I face it if I miss you tonight

I tried so hard to forget I thought I'd made it
I cried you out of my heart and I could smile again
Then all at once out of nowhere your mem'ry returned
And my heart couldn't shake it can I forget you again
Tell me what'll I do girl if I can't make it

If I miss you again tonight...
If I miss you again tonight...

CRY LIKE A BABY

(Ricci Mareno - Jerry Gillespie) « © '74 Jewel Music, ASCAP »
Tonight I've made my mind up to tell her just like a hundred times before
I gotta tell her that it's over I just can't take it anymore
There's no easy way to tell her that I'm leaving
I know her heart is gonna break before I'm through
And she'll cry like a baby she'll want me to stay
Yes she'll cry like a baby and then she'll say
I love you don't go

There's not enough love for her inside me
And though I wish it weren't true
We've reached the end and there's no pretending
There's nothing left for me to do
But to tell her I've lost that loving feeling
Say goodbye then go and leave her all alone
And she'll cry like a baby I know that she will
Yes she'll cry like a baby lovin' me still
[ guitar ] I'd give anything to keep her tears from fallin'
But when I tell her that my love for her has died
Oh she'll cry like a baby I've loved her so long
Yes she'll cry like a baby after I'm gone
After I'm gone
She'll cry like a baby after I'm gone
She'll cry like a baby

I SEE THE WANT TO IN YOUR EYES

(Wayne Carson Thompson) « © '73 Budde Songs, BMI »
I see the sparkling little diamond on your hand
It's plain to see that you've already got a man
I can tell you're not about to fall for any of my lies
I see the want to in your eyes

Deep in your smile there's a soft warm desire
Like the embers of a once raging fire
You know I could light that fire again you know it isn't wise
I see the want to in your eyes

How strong's a band of gold is it strong enough to hold
When a love has grown cold and a woman wants her love sweet and warm

How many women just like you have silent schemes
How many men like me have they slept with in their dreams
You can stay or you can go and although I sympathize
I still see the want to in your eyes
I see the want to in your eyes

UNFAITHFUL FOOLS

(Bobby Fisher) « © '74 Jewel Music, ASCAP »
I guess we feel the same about each other
We agree that all the feeling's gone
For too long we've put up with one another
When we got no reason to keep hanging on

Everybody sees us out together
They all think that we're the perfect pair
They say we've got a lot of things in common
But they don't know the common things we share

Like cheatin' lyin' hurtin' and cryin'
We've done it all broke every rule
Our love is gone gone gone unfaithful fools

Girl we never really got together
I guess we just pretend to be close
Long ago we strayed from one another
Why we stayed together I don't know

People nod at us with their approval
They don't know our love is just pretend
Yes the feeling's mutual between us
And that's the reason for the shape we're in

Cheatin' lyin' hurtin' and cryin'...
Cheatin' lyin' hurtin' and cryin'...

ONE HELL OF A WOMAN

(Mac Davis - Mark James) « © '74 Screen Gems Music, BMI / Songpainter Music, BMI »
She's a woman she's a baby she's a witch and she's a lady
She's a free and gentle spirit she can be what she wants to be
And if she wants to be with me tonight
Well that's all right
She's one hell of a woman young and strong and tan
But soft when she loves me like a gentle kitten in my hand
She makes me feel like a hell of a man

She's wise warm and tender she'll resist and she'll surrender
She's a free and gentle spirit...
She's one hell of a woman...

I'M A BELIEVER

(Ricci Mareno - Tommy Rocco) « © '74 Jewel Music, ASCAP »
I'm a believer I'm a believer I'm a believer
I could never let you go so I'm a believer

Once again it's two a.m. you told me
You'd be shoppin' with a friend
But I know that the lipstick you pot on
When you went out will be gone when you come in
Say the stores were open late tonight
And in the crowd your lips got smeared
I'll believe you girl
What else can I do you're my whole world

I'm a believer...

I'll believe your every lie to keep you
And pretend the price is small
Cause I know having you most anyway
Is better than not having you at all
Tell me four and four is twenty-two
And that right is really wrong
Say the sun is blue
Baby If you say it then it's true

I'm a believer I'm a believer I'm a believer
If it keeps you close to me I'm a believer
I'm a believer I'm a believer I'm a believer
If it keeps you close to me I'm a believer

WHAT WILL YOU DO NOW MRS. JONES

(Ricci Mareno - Tommy Rocco) « © '74 Jewel Music, ASCAP »
I hear you're crying Mrs Jones there in the bedroom all alone
I guess somehow I always knew one day you'd learn I've been untrue
I've thought I loved her I was wrong it's here with you that I belong
You're the only happiness I've ever known what will you do now Mrs Jones

Will you just go away or will you stay will you forgive me
If I ask if you still love me what will you say
Will you still want me or want to be free
Mrs Jones how will it be
[ steel ] Will you just go away or will you stay will you forgive me
If I ask if you still love me what will you say
Will you still want me or want to be free

I've hurt you more the words can say will you still love me anyway
Heaven knows that I still want you for my own what will you do now Mrs Jones
You're the only happiness I've ever known what will you do now Mrs Jones

PLEASE DON'T TELL ME HOW THE STORY ENDS

(Kris Kristofferson) « © '71 Combine Music, BMI »
This could be our last good night together
We may never pass this way again
Just let me enjoy it till it's over or forever
Please don't tell me how the story ends

See the way our shadows come together
Softer than your fingers on my skin
Someday these may be all that we'll remember of each other
Please don't tell me how the story ends

Never's just the echo of forever
Lonesome as the love that might have been
Just let me go on loving and believing till it's over
Please don't tell me how the story ends
Oh please don't tell me how the story ends
