Well pardon me but you have my attention
Ever since you strolled into the room
Believe me that it's not my intention
If I appear to come on too smooth

It's not like me to make such advances
But this time baby I could not resist
So if you're up for taking a chance on love
I can't see a better time than this

Chorus:
So baby why not tonight
This could be the start of something right
Hey you can take it easy
We can take it so slow
We can take it anywhere that you'd like to go
So baby why not tonight
The stars are out and I'm sure they'll agree
Oh it's a perfect night for falling in love
So why not fall in love with me

Oh maybe we could go out for some dinner
And later on how we could do the town
Ya know I consider myself a winner
Just to have a boy like you around

Then if you're up for doing some dancing
Yeah I know a place they dance until the dawn
Anything you like will be alright
So why not take a chance and come along

Repeat Chorus (Why not fall in love, why not fall in love, baby why not
fall
in love with me)

The kid down the street mowes the grass every week
The neighbor next door fixed the roof where it leaked
Job's going fine and the bills are all paid
And everyone thinks that I'm doing OK

There's a guy down at work
He's asked me out once or twice
I haven't said yes
But I'm thinking I might
And on my way home I thought I saw you walk by
If only I could get you out of my mind

What in the world am I gonna do about you
Oh your memory keeps coming back
From out of the blue
Oh well I try
And I try
But I still can't believe that we're through
So tell me what in the world am I gonna do about you
What am I gonna do about you

I went to the store
But it wasn't much fun
It doesn't take long when you're shopping for one
Standing in line I thought I saw you walk in
And that's when it started all over again

What in the world am I gonna do about you
Oh your memory keeps coming back
From out of the blue
Oh well I try
And I try
But I still can't believe that we're through
So tell me what in the world am I gonna do about you
What am I gonna do about you
Darling what am I gonna do about you

Well I'm married to the good life
I said I'd be a good wife
When I put on this ring
I drive a new Mercedes
I play tennis with the ladies
I buy all the finer things
But all that don't mean nothing
When you can't get a good night's loving

Oh little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock

Well I wonder if he'll miss me
He doesn't even kiss me
When he comes home at night
He never calls me honey
But he sure loves his money
And I'm the one who pays the price
But when he finds this ring he'll see
He keeps everything but me

Oh little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock

Oh little rock
Think I'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what I've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock

I want a Sunday kind of love
A love to last past Saturday night
And I'd like to know
It's more than love at first sight
I want a Sunday kind of love

And I want a - a love that's on the square
Can't seem to find somebody
Someone to care
And I'm on a lonely road that leads to nowhere
I need a Sunday kind of love

I do all my Sunday dreaming
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
And hopin' to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way

And my arms needs someone to enfold
To keep me warm when Mondays and Tuesdays grow cold
And I need a love for all my life to have and to hold
I want a Sunday kind of love - oh yeah
Yeah, I don't want a Monday or a Tuesday
A Wednesday or a Thursday
Friday or Saturday
I don't want nothin' baby
But I want a Sunday kind of love

. . .


Open up your arms to me
Come and hold me tenderly
Let me know your love for me is real
And love me like there's no tomorrow
Share my joys and share my sorrow
Make me feel like a woman wants to feel

Chorus:
I know you love me cause you told me so
But that ain't enough cause I want to be shown
Make me feel like a woman wants to feel
And let me know you miss me when I'm not around
Go ahead and kiss me when I'm feeling down
Make me feel like a woman wants to feel

Repeat Chorus

Love me like I want to be loved
Let me know I'm the one you dream of
Make me feel like a woman wants to feel
Make me feel like a woman wants to feel

When our check bounces at the store
When the whole world seems at war
You bring me peace of mind once more
With just a little love

When the boss says I'm ten minutes late
And a stack of bills just won't wait
Mmm, you take the worries away
With just a little love

(chorus)
Just a little love
And affection
You bring a touch of perfection
To a world that's sometimes crazy and so mixed up
Just a little love
You have changed me
You make me see why the good Lord made me
And you can do miracles
With just a little love

When our old car won't run
And all my dreams come undone
You'll make it right, won'tcha hun?
With just a little love

When it seems like the truth's all gone
When I'm tryin so hard to hold on
You make it easy to be strong
With just a little love

(chorus)

. . .


Oh, I'm feeling so fine and you're looking so good
And I'd like to get together
Oh Lord, I wish we could
But there's someone at home
Who's depending on me
And boy they'd never know it
If I set my passions free

Chorus:
But I don't think love ought to be that way
No I don't think love ought to be that way
I could tell him a lie
And I know I'd get by
But I don't think love ought to be that way

You say a precious moment
Is all that it would be
That I'd forget about you
And you'd forget me
Oh I love what you're saying
It's tempting me so
And though I love to hear it
There's no way that I'll let go

Repeat Chorus

(Repeat Chorus x3)


. . .


When you walked out that door
I was so sure my world had ended
So sure I'd never get over you

On that first night alone
I cried so many tears it scared me
So many dreams that I had to let go
But now I know

That the world still turns and the sun still burns
And that's what I've learned without you
And the days roll on and my heart gets stronger too
Don't think I didn't love you
Just because I made it through
But I learned to love myself
Without you

I take myself to dinner
And I go to the movies solo
That's something I never did before

You may not understand this
But I don't' wait on invitations
I'm not afraid of the great unknown
Of being alone cause the

The world still turns and the sun still burns
And that's what I've learned without you
And the days roll on and my heart gets stronger too
Don't think I didn't love you
Just because I made it through
But I learned to love myself
Without you

I can even see myself
Falling in love with somebody else
Ready to take that chance again
Cause I know now
What I didn't know then

That the world still turns and the sun still burns
And that's what I've learned without you
And the days roll on and my heart gets stronger too
Don't think I didn't love you
Just because I made it through
But I learned to love myself
Without you

. . .


Three wise men, a shining star
A mother and a father who had come so far
How could they know about their son
And the miracle he'd become
That he held the soul of man
In his tiny little hands

Chorus:
One child one day
And the universe will never be the same
From Bethlehem
Cause the angels' voices rejoicing in his name
Oh, and I believe with all my heart
That he will show the way
And you and I will meet
One child one day

A small white church, a mountainside
Cathedrals filled with music, and golden light
Oh, we gather everywhere
For the peace that's always there
For the story that is told
Of a birth so long ago

Repeat Chorus

. . .


That old picture with my arm around you
Tore it to pieces this morning at two
Score one for me
I took your portrait off the living room wall
Then I started on the ones in the hall
Had a bonfire
I decided it was time to forget
So I got rid of every picture you left

Chorus:
But what do I do with this picture of you in my mind
I close my eyes and I still see you saying goodbye
I know I'd be okay if I could just throw away
This picture

I walk alone down a crowded street
And see your face in everybody I meet
When's it gonna end
Every single night I crawl into bed
Hoping sleep will keep you out of my head
I should know better
Everytime I turn around there you are
I never thought your memory would go this far

Repeat Chorus twice & tag
