The Only One 

Well, I made up my mind, 
Not gonna let you get away, 
To think that I'm the lucky guy, 
Thought I've almost got it made 
'Cause it's been so long 
Since I felt so strong 
About anyone at all, 
I get so excited, 
I ain't gonna fight it, 
I think I might be fallin' in love. 
So come on - let's get it right 
'Cause you're the only one. 
So come on - we ain't got all night 
'Cause you're the only one. 
Last night 
I thought you mighta stayed. 
If I'd a had the guts, 
I woulda pushed my luck, 
But then you mighta turned away. 
How do I explain, 
I know it sounds insane, 
But I've been through this before. 
You could change your mind, 
You could turn and walk 
Right through that door. 
So come on - let's get it straight 
'Cause you're the only one. 
So come on - I just can't wait 
'Cause you're the only one. 



                            Take Me Back 


I shoulda seen it comin', 
I shoulda seen the signs, 
Didn't really think that she needs me, 
I must've been blind. 
She didn't give me a warning, 
Said I shouldn't treat you wrong, 
But when I woke up this morning, 
She was gone, gone gone. 

She said ... 
Take me back, won't ya 
Take me back, won't ya 
I'll change my ways. 
Take me back, won't ya 
Take me back, won't ya 
I'm not the same. 
She didn't tell me about it, 
Am I supposed to read your mind? 
You make me get up and shout it, 
It's a crime, crime, crime. 
I shoulda seen it comin', 
I shoulda seen the signs, 
Didn't really think that she needs me, 
I must've been blind. 

Won't ya take me back. 
Won't ya take me back. 



                                 This Time 


I think about her all the time, 
She's my fantasy, 
An image burnin' in my mind, 
Callin' out to me 
While my imagination's runnin' wild, 
Things are gettin' clearer. 
CHORUS: 
This time, everything is alright, 
No way she's gonna get away. 
This time, everything is easy, 
Any day, I'm gonna make her mine. 
I've thought of every word I'd say, 
Give or take a few, 
But she turns and slowly walks away, 
What do I have to do? 
Hey, turn up your radio, 
There's something I want you to know. 
CHORUS 

It's hard to take 
'Cause she's miles away 
And I've waited a long time, 
But the feelin's right, 
Darlin', one of these nights, 
Yeah, I'm gonna let you know. 



                   Straight From The Heart 


I could start dreamin', but it never ends, 
As long as you're gone, we may as well pretend 
I've been dreamin' 
Straight from the heart. 
You say it's easy, but who's to say 
That we'd be able to keep it this way, 
But it's easier 
Comin' straight from the heart. 

CHORUS: 
Give it to me straight from the heart, 
Tell me we can make another start, 
You know I'll never go 
As long as I know 
It's comin' straight from the heart. 
I'll see you on the street some other time 
And all our words would just fall out of line, 
I was dreamin' 
Straight from the heart. 
CHORUS 

(Don't ever leave me, darlin', oh no) 

CHORUS 

Straight from the heart, 
Tell me we can make one more start, 
You know I'll never go 
As long as I know 
It's comin' straight from the heart. 



                         Cuts Like A Knife 


Drivin' home this evenin', 
I coulda sworn we had it all worked out. 
You had this boy believin' 
Way beyond the shadow of a doubt. 
Then I heard it on the street, 
I heard you mighta found somebody new. 
Well, who is he, baby, 
Who is he, and tell me what he means to you. 
I took it all for granted, but how was I to know 
That you would be lettin' go. Now it cuts like a knife, 
But it feels so right. 
It cuts like a knife, 
But it feels so right. 
There's times I've been mistaken, 
There's times I thought I'd been misunderstood. 
So wait a minute darlin', 
Can't you see we did the best we could? 
This wouldn't be the first time things have gone astray, 
Now you've thrown it all away.                       
                 

                              SUBIR ARRIBA                 

                                     I'm Ready 


I'd like to see you, 
Thought I'd let you know. 
I wanna be with you every day 
'Cause I've got a feelin' 
That's beginnin' to grow 
And there's only one thing I wanna say. 
I'm ready - to love you. 
I'm ready - to hold you 
I'm ready - I'm ready 
I'm ready as I'm gonna be. 
She left me a long note 
When she left me here. 
She Told me that love was hard to find. 
But baby, it's easy 
And I'll make it clear 
That there's only one thing on my mind. 


                           What's It Gonna Be 


If it was up to me, 
I'd say it's his decision, 
And maybe you should wait and se, 
You haven't got a choice, 
You gotta second guess him, 
So go ahead. 
CHORUS: 
What's it gonna be, 
Well, you need an answer, 
What's it gonna be, 
All you get is no reply. 
If it was to you, 
You'd say you need protection, 
When all you really need is me. 
Now, that's the bottom line, 
It's your sincere intention, 
So go ahead. 
CHORUS (2x) 

You've been waiting for so long, 
Now you say you can't go on, 
You can't go on, oh no. 



                          Don't Leave Me Lonely 


I won't stand being broken hearted, 
I won't be pushed around. 
The Rules were set when we got started, 
But lately I have found. 
We've spent too little time and too much heartache, 
I feel we're losin' ground, 
And lately I've been hearin' 
You won't be needin' me around. 

CHORUS: 
Don't leave me lonely, 
I wanna be right by your side 
Your one and only - tonight. 
So don't leave me lonely, 
I need you here all the time. 
So don't leave me lonely, oh no. 
You say you need your independence, 
Well, I need mine, 
Separate lives and separate feelin's, 
I guess that's fine. 
But that won't last - it's no solution, 
I know we can't survive. 
And lately I've been thinkin', 
Thinkin' 'bout you all the time. 

CHORUS 



                                 Let Him Know 


Another day goes by 
And still you wonder what happened. 
You'd give the world for one more try, 
But you're too shy to ask him, 
Don't wanna ask him now. 
I know your heart 
Will pull you thru 
If he means that much to you. 
You gotta let him know. 

CHORUS: 
Let him know, 
Know that you love him. 
Let him know, 
Know that you need him. 
Let him know, 
Know that you want him now. 
You gotta let him know ... 
What can I say, it's up to you, 
You gotta make up your own mind, 
It's your life, it's up to you 
'Cause you didn't believe me, 
Still don't believe me now. 
You're gonna see 
It's all comin' true, 
That's why I'm leavin' it up to you. 
You gotta let him know ... 

CHORUS 

The news is that I guess you heard, 
I shouldn't breathe a single word. 
The bottom line is 
Nothing's stop you now. 
You gotta let him know ... 



                     The Best Was Yet To Come 


Just a small town girl in the city lights, 
The best was yet to come, 
Then lonely days turned in endless nights, 
The best was yet to come. 
How were you to know 
That you would be the lucky one? 
Ain't it funny how time flies 
When the best was yet to come. 

You can cry yourself to sleep at night, 
But you can't change the things you've done, 
You had it there, then it slipped away, 
You left the song unsung. 

Even through your tears 
I never saw you come undone. 
What's so good about good-bye 
When the best was yet to come. 
I find myself thinkin'about yesterday 
When you were here and livin' in a dream, 
In a moment that it takes 
You find you made your first mistake, 
Like the settin' sun ... 
You turn around, it's gone. 
Just a small town girl who had it made 
Or so the story goes. 
She had it there, but it slipped away, 
Oh, how was she to know. 

Even through her tears 
I never saw her come undone. 
Ain't it funny how time flies 
When the best was yet to come. 
What's so good about good-bye 
When the best was yet to come.
