1. Critic's Choice
What do you want
What do you want
I'm givin everything I have
I'm even trying to see if there's more
Locked deep inside
I'll try
I'll try
Can't you see, this is me
What do you need
What do you need
Is someone just to hurt
So that you can appear to be smart
And use a steady job
Play God
Play God
What to you really know
You parasite
You're dynamite
An oversight
Misunderstanding what you hear
You're quick to cheer
And volunteer
Obsurdities, musicals, blasphemies
Oh Lord
Save us all
What do you want
What do you want
I'm givin every thing I have
I'm even trying to see if there's more
Locked deep inside
I'll try
I'll try
Can't you see, this is me

You are my love in my life

Life is so easy
When you're beside me
Oh girl

Never release me
Oh baby don't release me
Open your arms, let my love in
Let me in, let me in, let me in
Love me tonight, love me forever
And ever
You know I can't forget you
Just you 'n me to carry on
Simple and free my lovely
To flow as one as love's reward
Lovin' you girl is so damn easy
Yeah, yeah
You are my love in my life
You are my inspiration
Just you 'n me
Simple and free
Baby you're everything I've ever dreamed of
3. Darlin' Dear
Since the time
Half the night
Feelin' good
Feelin' right
Words were spoke
Brought us close
When we touched it was overdose
On the road
You're back there
You're my friend Darlin' Dear
Open up
Let me in
I'm your pal again
When your smile
Shines on me
I am the sea to sea
We will fly everywhere
You're my friend Darlin' Dear
Caught a glance
Picked up the phone
Did you read Rolling Stone
Knowing you'll knock me out
I am your roustabout
Pretty good atmosphere
You're my friend Darlin' Dear
Oh baby
Oh baby
4. Jenny
Jenny
Jenny
You know I'm goin' away
And you know my woman's here
Please don't you stray
Watch over her
You can run amok and play
Your whole life through
And you can chase the cats around
'Cause she loves that too
Then if someone comes to cause her harm
You will protect her true
Oh Jenny
Jenny
Jenny
You got her while I'm gone
Time moves so slow
For someone who's alone
So comfort her
If she's feelin' low
You gotta be a card
And If she's fast asleep
Don't you sleep too hard
If someone comes to cause her harm
You gotta gun 'em down
Oh Jenny
Now maybe
It's gonna be alright
Won't have to fight
Won't have to fight
But then again
So sad but true
There's always someone waiting
Just to shit on you
And if she's feeling low
You gotta be a card
If she's fast asleep
Don't you sleep too hard
'Cause if someone comes to cause her harm
You gotta gun 'em down
Oh Jenny
Now maybe
It's gonna be alright
You won't have to fight
Never have to fight
But then again
You know it's sad but true
There's always someone waiting
Just to shit on you
5. What's This World Comin' To
Why can't folks get along with one another
'Cause Jesus said you got to love your brother
Lord I seem to notice all the evil in the air
No one seems to really give a damn if it is there
Oh, what's this world comin' to
Hope for love, come on through, come on through
People finally get them together
Makin' life - Ooh - a whole lot better
Yeah, yeah
Some folks got a lot, and some are hungry
Well I said some folks have to live from day to day
Rich folks spendin' time just countin' money
Poor folks really ain't got much to say
What's this world comin' to
Hope for love, come on through, come on through
I said now people finally get them together
Makin' life - Ooh - a whole lot better
Yeah, yeah
What's this world
Comin' to
What's this world
Comin' to
What's this world
Comin' to
What's this world
Comin' to
What's this world
Comin' to
What's this world
Comin' to
Oh people got to get their thing together
Be no time to lose just time to die
All of us can make this world a better place to be
All of us can see how good it feels to be free
Woah, what's this world comin' to
Hope for love, come on through, me and you
People got to get it together
Makin life - Ooh - A whole lot better
6. Something In This City Changes People
Later days will see me
Knowing what I spend
They are friend
So sad so sad
Smiling face greet me
Everyone's my friend
They Pretend
So sad so sad
They see I am happy
With my lady
They're not satisfied
All their feelings died
Something in this city
Changes people
Makes them devil-eyed
My love she waits for me
When I'm far away
Counting days
So sad so sad
They all know our story
Still they try to play
Anyway
So sad so sad
Flashing cars and morning
Funny faces
Egos magnified
Quite Unjustified
Something in this City
Changes People
Makes them devil-eyed
7. Hollywood
People running everywhere
Not one place to go
Got no time to look around to find out where they are
Where they are
Where they are
People having such a race
Don't know where it ends
Got beat the other man at getting anywhere
Anywhere
Anywhere
Hollywood
Crazy neighborhood
Never understood why I stay
Hollywood
Lovely lady who'd
Make you feel good
Every day
Feeling the night's past fire
Under the glowing eyes
Of the sweet butterflies
Watch
What you say
When you say it
Someone you know
Will betray it
Will betray it
Hollywood
Oh, crazy neighborhood
Never understood why I stay
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Hollywood, Hollywood
Things are weak, things are weak
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
8. In Terms Of Two
You played the part of this hard to get
And somehow you knew that I couldn't forget
And though I don't think in terms of two
I got it bad for you
And when you passed me along the way
I couldn't speak, so you didn't stay
And though I don't think in terms of two
You're breaking my heart
Shaking me up the part
Breaking my heart
Shaking me up the part again
When it appeared to me I was found
And nothing I did could bring me around
And though I don't think in terms of two
I saw it there in you
So now if you'd only understand
That without you here
I'd be half of a man
And though I don't think in terms of two
You're breaking my heart
Shakin me off the part
Breaking my heart
Shakin me off the part again
Because of you
Because of me
The times are right
I disagree
Before you leave
I want you to see
Woah, what you've done to me
9. Rediscovery
Oh what a beautiful night
The stars are shining bright
I've not been feeling right
Not been feeling right
I've not been feeling right
Soon it's gonna change
Time to rearrange
Stop this acting strange
Found us a beautiful place
Perfect and tiny space
And now we can retrace
Now we can retrace
Now we can retrace
All we have begun
New oblivion
Havin' lots of fun
Guitar
Got to get back inside
Dreams and thoughts collide
Say you found this crazy
Say you found this crazy
Say you found this crazy
Life
Please be good to me
Last chance to be free
This mountain majesty is rediscovery
10. Feelin' Stronger Every Day
I do believe in you
And I know you believe in me
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And now we realize
Love's not all that it's supposed to be
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And knowing that you would have wanted it this way
I do believe I'm feelin' stronger every day
I know we really tried
Together we had love inside
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
So now the time has come
For both of us to live on the run
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And knowing that you would have wanted it this way
I do believe I'm feelin' stronger every day
Yeah, yeah, yeah
After what you've meant to me
Ooh baby now
I can make it easily
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know that we both agree
Best thing to happen to you
The best thing that happened to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Feelin' stronger every day
Feelin' stronger every day
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin' stronger every day
