Woman To Woman

James Banks - Eddie Marton - Henderson Thigpen

© East Memphis Music, BMI

Hello you don't know who this is
But the reason I'm calling you is because
I was going through my man's pockets this morning
And I just happened to find your name and number
So woman to woman I don't think it's wrong to call
Now I don't know how you're gonna take this
You might even hang up the phone
But you see it really doesn't make any difference
And it's only fair that I let you know
That that man you've been seeing he's mine and I love him
So woman to woman I think you'll understand

Woman to woman if you've ever been in love
Then you know how I feel
And woman to woman now if you were in my shoes
Wouldn't you have done the same thing too

Woman to woman I've just got to make you see
Woman to woman that you can't take him from me
Woman to woman I just can't step aside
And let you take what is rightfully mine

Woman to woman right or wrong
I ain't gonna let you break up my happy home
I hope you understand I love that man
And he's mine

Woman to woman if you've ever been in love
Then you know how I feel
Woman to woman now if you were in my shoes
Wouldn't you have done the same thing too
Woman to woman I've just can't step aside
And let you take what's rightfully mine

Love Is Thin Ice

Geoff Morgan

© Pi-Gem Music, BMI

Love is thin ice it's so easy to fall right in
Love is thin ice so you better know how to swim
If you're not ready for falling
Then you better be careful when love starts calling
Take my advice love is thin ice

You better watch your step it's hard to read the signs
And sometimes you have to lose before you can find
They say all in love is fair you've got to give for someone to care
And it can be so nice but love is thin ice

Love is thin ice it's so easy to fall right in...

You better stick to higher ground if you don't want to cry
But if you don't take a chance you'll never learn how to fly
One day you're walking on air next thing you know your heart needs repair
But that's just the price cause live is thin ice

Love is thin ice it's so easy to fall right in...
You better take my advice love is thin ice

Hold Me

Glenn Ray

© Gator Music, SESAC

Hold me
Let me be a little girl again
Don't want a lover now I need a friend
And a warm safe place to be

Hold me
Don't want to talk and I don't want to smile
I only want to hide and rest awhile
And have you holdin' me

I don't want to think about the world outside your arms
And everything it calls on me to do
I'm all out of giving let me take just for a minute
Sometimes I need to be a baby too

And have you hold me
Let me be a little girl again
Don't want a lover now I need a friend
And a warm safe place to be

Hold me
Don't want to talk and I don't want to smile
I only want to hide and rest awhile
And have you holdin' me

Just hold me
Don't want to talk and I don't want to smile
I only want to hide and rest awhile
And have you holdin' me

After The Lovin'

Alan Bernstein - Ritchie Adams - Richard Zigler

© Silver Blue Music, ASCAP

So you sing me to sleep after the lovin'
With a song you just wrote yesterday
And yes I can hear
What the words and the music have to say

It's so hard to explain everything that I'm feelin'
Face to face I just seem to go dry
But I love you so much
That the sound of your voice can get me high

Thanks for takin' me on a one way trip to the sun
And thanks for turnin' me into a someone

So you sing me to sleep after the lovin'
I brush back the hair from your eyes
And the love on your face
Is so real that it makes me wanna cry

And I know that your song isn't saying anything new
Oh but after the lovin' I'm still in love with you

So you sing me to sleep after the lovin'
I brush back the hair from your eyes
And the love on your face
Is so real that it makes me wanna cry

And I know that your song isn't saying anything new
Oh but after the lovin' I'm still in love with you
Yes after the lovin' I'm still in love with you
Hmmm after the lovin' I'm still in love with you

Married But Not To Each Other

Denise LaSalle - Frances Miller

© Ordene Music, BMI

You know sometimes in your life
You may find it hurts to be in love
Specially when you and the one you love
Already belong to somebody else

You're tied to her and I'm tied to him
And we don't wanna hurt either one of them
And that's how it is

When you're married but not to each other
You gotta go home in the middle of the night
Try and pretend every things alright
But it ain't no it ain't

When you're married but not to each other
Make believe that you've been good
Give your love to the one you should
But you can't no you can't

Cause you're tied to her I'm tied to him
We don't wanna hurt either one of them
So what can you do what can you do

When you're married but not to each other
You gotta be careful everywhere you go
Tryin' to avoid everyone you know
Cause people talk you know they talk

When you're married but not to each other
You've gotta make up alibis
Hopin' they don't sound like lies
Cause if you get caught and you might get caught

Hurry up and love him hurry up and please him
And when it gets right you've got to leave him
You better leave him

Cause you're tied to her I'm tied to him
We don't wanna hurt either one of them
That's how it is that's how it is
When you're married but not to each other
Hurry up and love him hurry up and please him
And when it gets right you've got to leave him
You better leave him

Sleeping Single In A Double Bed

Kye Fleming - Dennis Morgan

© Pi-Gem Music, BMI

Sleeping single in a double bed
Thinking over things I wish I'd said
I should have held you but I let you go
Now I'm the one sleeping all alone oh
Sleeping single in a double bed
Tossing turning trying to forget
I could be lying with you instead
I'm sleeping single in a double bed

I'd pour me a drink but I'd only be sorry
'Cause drinking doubles alone don't make it a party
Another sleepless night and it's the same old story
When you're the only one at two in the morning

Sleeping single in a double bed
Thinking over things I wish I'd said
I should have held you but I let you go
Now I'm the one sleeping all alone oh
Sleeping single in a double bed
Tossing turning trying to forget
I could be lying with you instead
I'm sleeping single in a double bed

That's What Friends Are For

Ed Penney - Rob Parsons

© Pi-Gem Music, BMI

She was my friend when I needed a friend
He was the man who said our love would never end
When things went wrong she'd tell us both to try again
That's what friends are for that's what friends are for

And there were times when she was feeling down
One of us would always come around
And try to share some of the happiness we found
That's what friends are for that's what friends are for

I suppose I should have seen what was happening to me
And I guess I should have known there wasn't love enough for three
And now there's only me

So I'm alone like I never thought I'd be
I trusted her just as far as I could see
Then she stole his love away from me
If that's what friends are for
I don't need them anymore

Midnight Angel

Bob Morrison - Bill Anthony

© Music City Music, ASCAP

And a verse in every song
For a woman trapped and lonely
By a man who's done her wrong

I thought that neon nightmares
Were like Sunday sermon scares
Till I turn to face the man I loved
And found a pillow there

Is there room for another midnight angel
Are there words for another hurtin' song
Is there room for another midnight angel
If there is I'm bettin' I'll have my wings before the mornin' comes

It’s a long long way from heaven
To those dreamy neon lights
But I’m needin' more that memories
To fill my empty nights

Now I know it won't be easy
'Cause I'm not the easy kind
But I need someone to hold me
Or I'm gonna lose my mind

Is there room for another midnight angel
Are there words for another hurtin’ song
Is there room for another midnight angel
If there is I'm bettin' I'll have my wings before the mornin' comes

Is there room for another midnight angel
Are there words for another hurtin’ song
Is there room for another midnight angel
If there is I'm bettin' I'll have my wings before the mornin' comes

Standing Room Only

Charles Silver - Susan Manchester

© Sunbury Music, ASCAP

You must think my bed's a bus stop the way you come and go
I ain't seen you with the lights on two nights in a row
So pack your rusty razor don't bother with goodbye
Your cup runneth over but mine is always dry

Standing room only I can't stand no more
Standing room only outside my door

Don't help me set the table cause now there's one less place
I won't lay mama's silver for a man who won't say grace
If home is where the heart is then your home's on the streets
Me I'll read a good book turn out the lights and go to sleep

Standing room only I can't stand no more no more
Standing room only outside my door

Standing room only I can't stand no more no more
Standing room only outside my door

Tonight

Don Cook - Rafe VanHoy

© Tree Pub, BMI

Tonight's my lucky night I know
He talked to me
To tell me he's been thinking of me
And all this time he's changed his mind
Oh he told me so
That's how I know he's gonna love me

Tonight's the night we'll turn out the light
And love again like we did back then
And we'll start all over tonight

Tonight's my lucky night I'm sure he's at my door
I've waited for this chance to hold him
And how I see he's needed me
Oh imagine that he's coming back
Coming back to live forever

Tonight's the night we'll turn out the light...
