CRY
(Frank Musker - Garth Murphy)
« © '81 April Music, ASCAP »

I heard her cry at night I heard him slam the door
There was a screech of tires but he'll be back for sure
Now through my apartment wall
Well I can hear the sweet tears startin' to fall

So cry baby wash out your heart
Hang your life out to dry and make a new start

Then came the telephone ring it was the logical thing
I left it for awhile I let him hang up and redial
And then I picked up the telephone
And I said don't worry honey no no no no no no you're not alone

So cry baby wash out your heart...

I really feel for you nd what you're going through
And this sad situation is all part of sentimental education
[ sax ]
This is a tale of woe you've heard it all before
And nothing I can say can to even ease the pain
But still I picked up the telephone
And I said don't worry honey no no no no no no you're not alone

So cry baby wash out your heart...
So cry baby wash out your heart...
So cry baby wash out your heart...

SHAME ON THE MOON
(Rodney Crowell)
« © '81 Coolwell Music, ASCAP »

Till you've been beside a man you don't know what he wants
You don't know if he cries at night you don't know if he don't
When nothing comes easy old nightmares are real
Till you've been beside a man you don't know how he feels

Once inside a woman's heart a man must keep his head
Heaven opened up the door where angels fear to tread
Some men go crazy some men go real slow
Some men go just where they want some men never go
Oh blame it on midnight ooh shame on the moon

Everywhere it's all around comfort in a crowd
Strangers faces all around laughing right out loud
Hey watch where you're going step light on your toes
Till you've been beside a man you don't know who he knows
Oh blame it on midnight ooh shame on the moon
Oh blame it on midnight ooh shame on the moon

Blame it on midnight shame on the moon
Ooh blame it on midnight shame shame on the moon
Ooh blame it on midnight shame shame on the moon
Oh oh blame it on midnight shame shame on the moon

BABY I'M YOURS
(Van Allen McCoy)
« © '64 Blackwood Music, BMI »

Baby I'm yours and I'll be yours until the stars fall from my sky
Yours until the rivers all run dry
In other words until the day I die baby I'm yours
And I'll be yours until the sun no longer shines
Oh yours until the poets run out of rhymes
In other words until the end of time

I'm gonna stay right here by your side do my best to keep you satisfied
Nothing in this world can ever drive me away everyday you'll hear me say
Baby I'm yours and I'll be yours until two and two make three yeah
Yours until the mountains crumble to the sea
In other words until eternity

I'm gonna stay right here by your side...

Baby I'm yours until the stars fall from my sky
Baby I'm yours until the rivers all run dry
Baby I'm yours until the sun no longer shines
Baby I'm yours

HEARTACHE AND A HALF
(Rafe VanHoy - Deborah Allen - Eddie Struzick)
« © '82 Posey Publishing, BMI / Jaseppy Music, ASCAP »

What's the matter with me now I can't shake this feeling
Knowing that you're gone makes everything seem wrong
And it's not like me to hold on to the past
Looking back I realize I never thought I had to try to
Have you for myself and now I find that someone else
Took you and left me with a heartache and a half
I'm talkin' bout a heartache heartache and a half

I wish I was still the fool who thought I could live without you
Then I'd never know how it hurts to see you go
Keep on believing it was never meant to last
But I close my eyes at night trying not to hear about you
And wake up to the fact that I can never have you back
And try to keep living with a heartache and a half
I'm talkin' bout this heartache heartache and a half

All the mistakes I made before keep on coming back to hurt me more and more
And the love I did not show just won't let me go oh no
Now I'm left here all alone holding on to a heartache and a half
I'm talkin' bout a heartache heartache and a half

All the mistakes I made before...
Heartache and a half heartache and a half
Heartache and a half heartache and a half

CHANGES
(Eddy Raven - Frank Meyers - Tanya Tucker)
« © '82 Tanya Tucker Music, BMI »

Neither one of us will ever change
We're both the same and that's a shame
Cause when we were together it was right
We had it all you and I

You're not changing me and I'm not changing you
The only change is what we're going through
You took the part of me that I was proudest of
Now you're saying that's the part you can't love

Changes I'm gonna have to make some changes
Now that I know what the game is
I know that I would only lose no matter what I do
And the first change that I'll make is you

If lovin' what you had ain't what you want
What do you need you don't need me
You said I was the answer to your prayers
It don't seem fair we both still care

Changes I'm gonna have to make some changes
Now that I know what the game is
I know that I would only lose no matter what I do
And the first change that I make is gonna be you

Changes I'm gonna have to make some changes...

FEEL RIGHT
(Larry Byrom)
« © '82 Screen Gems Music, BMI »

You know I want you baby I can't help but feel this way
Got my eyes on you darling I can't wait another day
I'm gonna wrap my arms around you and squeeze you through the night
Love you till the morning I wanna make you feel right

Well take my hand and show me the things you do so well
We might learn forever only time will tell
I wanna kiss you all over it's gonna feel oh so nice
You know it's hard on you baby come on and make me feel right
[ guitar ]
I wanna kiss you all over...
Well take my hand and show me...
Come on and make me feel right
I feel right I feel right feel right

THING CALLED LOVE
(Jerry Reed Hubbard)
« © '68 Vector Music, BMI / Sixteen Stars Music, BMI »

Six foot six he stood on the ground
Weighed two hundred and thirty five pounds
But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love

He was the kind of man that would gamble on luck
Look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him cryin' like a little whipped pup because of love

Can't see it with your eyes hold it in your hand
But like the wind that covers our land
Strong enough to rule the heart of any man this thing called love
It can lift you up it can let you down
Take your world and turn it all around
Ever since time nothing's ever been found stronger than love

Most people like me they struggle in doubt
Trouble their minds day in and day out
Too busy with livin' to worry about a little thing called love

But when I see a mother's tenderness
As she holds her young close to her brest
And I thank God that this world's been blessed with a thing called love

Can't see it with your eyes hold it in your hand...
