Hey Hey 03:54
cold showers every day it's hot as hell, and you're away I wish that I could say I wanna make you mine be with you all the time I wish I could hear you say hey hey, I'm in love with you hey hey, I hope you feel it too you know that I really do hey hey just don't be afraid of all the magic that we made another long goodbye come here and wipe the tears from my eyes I wish that you could stay here with me all the time singing songs and making up silly rhymes Oh, why can't you just be mine? hey hey, I'm in love with you hey hey, I hope you feel it too you know that I really do hey hey just don't be afraid of all the magic that we made just don't be afraid I know that you've been hurt before but baby please don't ignore the good thing that we've got And though you live so far away I've really got to say I think that we should take a chance on us hey hey, I'm in love with you hey hey, I hope you feel it too you know that I really do hey hey just don't be afraid of all the magic that we made The magic that we made

Sometimes 04:23
Sometimes it's all about someone wanting you Sometimes it's just about having something to do But with you, it's something more Since the day that I met you my feet haven't touched the floor Why can't I tell you all of these things I feel? I'm scared that you will run far away from me Or would you say you feel them, too? Just let me kiss you while I decide what to do Oh, what'll I ever do? I'm so in love with you With you Sometimes you want the thing that you just can't have Sometimes the one you want doesn't want you back But then love comes along Maybe my love will find me when I finish this song
3.
Sometimes I think I'm gonna cry Sometimes I have to wonder why You went away from me I know it had to be this way Hey But I won't cry out in the rain No I've got no need to complain You are the one for me I know someday you'll see it's true Ooh Cause I loved sitting with you On that Wednesday afternoon, Hearing you croon Under our spring moon It was my dream come true But I know someday you'll return And my poor heart won't have to burn We'll live our happy life Maybe I'll be your wife someday Hey And I'll love sitting with you Every single afternoon Hearing you croon Under every moon It'd be my dream come true And I'll love sitting with you Every single afternoon Hearing you croon Under every moon It'd be my dream come true

Wrong Place 02:35
We're in the wrong place I wanna see your face again My friend I sit here drinking on my own The spring is good for writing songs I'll send you one Ooh, why aren't we one? Why is it so hard to be loved? I'll soon be leaving for a while Good friends and beaches will make me smile But I'll think of you I'll think of you
5.
will you turn to me when we get there? and will you tell me that you love me and run your fingers through my hair? oh, my darling, why can't I be with you? I spent the last three months in anticipation of a love I might acquire on my wintry vacation now here we are and I'm shaking in my boots I'm too afraid to talk I'm too nervous to eat I'm biting on my fingers and I'm tossing in my sleep I told you that I loved you, but you didn't seem to care so many times I've needed you but you really weren't there But I still always cared so will you sing to me when we get there? songs of memories and laughter from the time we didn't care? I love you so much, I just wish you were aware I'm too afraid to talk I'm too nervous to eat I'm biting on my fingers and I'm tossing in my sleep I told you that I loved you, but you didn't seem to care. so many times I've needed you but you really weren't there But I still always cared

What Is This 02:44
What is this? We're all grown up now Don't come into my life and take my heart Not when you You won't be around now You are going off to see the world I know this What is this? There's bruises on my lips now Won't you come back here and take them away Eight more days I'm waiting patiently, so Won't you bring me my prize And keep me awake What is this? I'm missing you so much now Is it better to love and lose, or not at all? I don't know
7.
Are you leaving me? Oh, how can it be? We just started this thing And I'm not ready Can't you stay a while And make smile Let me hold you all through the night And make everything alright Don't leave me, don't leave me this way I'm begging you sweetly to stay When you let me know That you had to go I was sadder than I'd been Since before I let you in I was so excited for What could have been But then you ran away While there were still things left to say Don't leave me, don't leave me this way I'm begging you sweetly to stay I'm searching for something to say To keep me from feeling this way Don't leave me, don't leave me this way I'm begging you sweetly to stay
8.
Love You 03:15
I didn't want to love you I didn't want to fall but somehow you made me love you and now I wish I could forget it all you used to bring me flowers you used to sing me songs now all you bring me is heartache and pain don't know how I'll get along I was so sad on the day when you told me that you were going back into her arms you came and tried to console me but you had lost all your wondrous charms
