STANDIN' AT THE STATION


Standin' at the station
Teardrops in my eyes
Standin' at the station
Wonderin' why
You love him more than you love me
You wanna marry him
Make a family
That's why I'm standin' at the station
Teardrops in my eyes
Well I'm standin' at the station
Sad as a man can be
And you're gazing through the window
Waving good-bye to me
Well I know you got to do what you got to do
But you're leaving me
And I'm loving you
That's why I'm standin' at the station
Teardrops in my eyes
Yes I'm standin' at the station
Teardrops in my eyes
Come back home baby, I need ya
Stop that train, back it on up

STILL THERE FOR ME


O darling my dear
please let me hold you near
you waited long time
while i made up my mind
i can't believe
that you're still there for me

i stumble
i fell
and now i'm here to tell you
i need you right now
i'll stay and we'll work it out

i can't believe that you're still there for me
kept on forgiving me
you gave me everything
i know now
i'm sure
my heart has found a cure
i'm ready
i'm strong
but you knew that all along
i can't believe
that you're still there for me

o darling my dear
please let me hold you near
this is where i'm at
i'm gonna learn how to love like that

i can't believe that you're still there for me
i can't believe that you're still there for me

SUITCASE


I got a suitcase, I take it everywhere I go
I got a suitcase baby, I take it everywhere I go
It's just a big old bag of trouble, trouble all I know

I met a girl, fell in love
And our love was true
I met a girl, fell in love
Ooh, our love was true

Well and I found out, Lord she had a big old suitcase
too
Lord, so we put our bags together, made a home for two
People we put our bags together, you know made a home
for two
Then along came the children, gave them all a suitcase
too

Well the house got too small, the bags got too big
We was holdin'on to everythin', whatever said or did
Well I complained about the salt, in the black eyed
peas
Then she put her hand on her hip and she told me to
leave
And take my suitcase, and get on out that door
You gonna hear from my lawyer, I can't take it no more

I had to get down on my knees, beg her to let me stay
I had to get down on my knees and beg her to let me
stay
I said baby, we got a whole lot of baggage
Let's call somebody and have it hauled all away

I got a suitcase, I take it everywhere I go
People I got a suitcase, I take it everywhere I go
It's a big old bag of trouble, I don't need no more

TELL EVERYBODY I KNOW


It's no secret, I don't care
Gonna shout it out everywhere
I love my baby
Hot, cold, fast or slow
I love my baby,
Gonna tell everybody I know

In the evening, in my bed
I hear voices in my head
They say never, never ever
Let her go
Well I love my baby,
Gonna tell everybody I know
Yes I love my baby,
Gonna tell everybody I know

Other women
Don't mean a thing to me
You can pick 'em all up
Drop 'em all in the sea

If I got no money, she don't care
She'll open up her pocketbook and pay my fare
I know she loves me
Up, down, high or low
Well I love my baby,
Gonna tell everybody I know
Yes I love my baby,
Gonna tell everybody I know

Hey y'all

Other women
Don't mean a thing to me
You can pick 'em all up
Drop 'em all in the sea

'Cause if I got no money, you know she don't care
She'll open up her pocketbook and pay my fare
I know she loves me
Up, down, high or low
Well I love my baby,
Gonna tell everybody I know
Yes I love my baby,
Gonna tell everybody I know

She's a sweet thing
She's a fine thing
She's a loving thing
Gonna tell everybody I know

Tell everybody I know
...

THAT'S NOT LOVE


It ain't you
No it ain't me
That's just not the way
That love's supposed to be
And it's just no good
No it ain't right
For you to be sittin' all alone
Just cryin' every night

You're down on your knees
Scared he's gonna leave
But if you really wanna know
You're gonna have to let him go

'Cause that's not love
It don't feel that bad
'Cause that's not love
It don't feel that sad
No that's not love
'Cause you don't feel good inside
I don't know what it is
But that's not love

Inside your heart
It's always rainin'
And you're oh so tired
Tired of your own complaining
This is for real
It ain't no game
You can't measure your love
By the depths of your pain

And You're down on your knees
Scared he's gonna leave
But if you really wanna know
You're gonna have to let him go

'Cause that's not love
It don't feel that bad
No that's not love
It don't feel that sad
No that's not love
'Cause you don't feel good inside
I don't know what it is
But that's not love

And You're down on your knees
Scared he's gonna leave
But if you really wanna know
You're gonna have to let him go

'Cause that's not love
It don't feel that bad
No that's not love
It don't feel that sad
That's not love
'Cause you don't feel good inside
I don't know what it is
But that's not love

(repeat)

THE ACTION


Remember when we first met
I was so excited just to get to know you
Oh baby just to know you
I was just a little bit shy
God willing I was ready
To try to show you
Oh just to show you
I felt a little funny
But it was really no joke
I wanted to prove my love
In every word that I spoke
(Chorus:)
But the action
Speaks louder
You know the action
Speaks louder than
The word
The action,
Louder than the word
I loved you just the way you were
Somehow I had to find the nerve to tell you
Oh baby just to tell you
So I did what a man must do
I walked right over to you
And I was asking
Baby, lets go dancing
I felt a little guilty
But I had committed no crime
I wanted to love you
Love you and love you
For a long time
(Chorus)
(Bridge:)
I can't wait until I'm holding you
And there's no doubt in your mind
You're the one and only one for me
Only one for me
I'm gonna prove my love no matter how long that it
takes
The feelings I have for you they're no mistake
(Chorus)

THE BEGINNING


When I die
I won't be gone
I'll be living in the everlasting
While I'm here
I hope that I can find
The answers to the questions
Life keeps asking
Cause in the end, it's a new beginning
When I dream
I'm dreaming of a place
And a knowing that's impossible to learn
It it's here
Right before your eyes
Everywhere you go, everywhere you turn
Early in the morning
Late at night
Cause in the end
It's a new beginning
In my life
There's beauty everywhere
On the mountain high
And the valley so low
But when I leave
And my soul flys away
Somewhere to a place
That nobody really knows
When I get there
I probably won't write no letter
You just got to come on
And see for yourself
Cause in the end
Its a new beginning
Just gotta come on in
And see for yourself
Cause in the end
Its just a new beginning

THE DOOR


I was down for so long
Everything I did was wrong
And I found fault
In everyone but me

I was hurt and alone
I could not find my way home
Broke-down and hungry
And too tired to moan

[Chorus]
Then I heard somebody calling my name
Saying ain't no need to be shamed
I found out that the door was always open

I was trapped in my mind
A prisoner of my own design
Lost in a world
A world of confusion

I was there by myself
Couldn't find no help no where else
Thought I'd call up the hotline
But there was nobody there

[Chorus]

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'


Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

THE WHOLE ENCHILADA


You've been wishing all of your life
For a woman that'll love you
Tell the truth and treat you right
And you've been alone crying yourself to sleep
Now you got a girl who can rock your world
Put a smile on your face and a love you're gonna keep
This is the beginning are you ready to learn
To love somebody for a lifetime
Wake up it's your turn.

Chorus:
So tell me now that you got a whole enchilada
Now that you gotta,
What you're gonna do, what you gonna do
Are you gonna be any better
Than the man you had you be to get her
Oh now that you gotta
What you gonna do, what you gonna do, what you gonna do.

Oh yeah

Are you ready to get involved
Where your anticipation is needed to get things resolved
We all get used to living by ourselves
But now you're dealing with a situation
That involves someone else
Well it's about to get different
You're gonna need a new device
Cause she's gonna open up your mind
And open up your life.

Chorus:
So tell me now that you got a whole enchilada
Now that you gotta,
What you're gonna do, what you gonna do
Are you gonna be any better
Than the man you had you be to get her
Oh now that you gotta
What you gonna do, what you gonna do, what you gonna do.

And this is the beginning are you ready to learn
To love somebody for a lifetime
Wake up it's your turn.

[Chorus:]

2 x
Are you gonna be any better
Than the man you had you be to get her
Oh now that you gotta
What you gonna do, what you gonna do, what you gonna do.
