ROMEO AND JULIET (SUN GO DOWN) (P. Clark) Maybe some time when your heart’s in the right place we can try to work this out • I’m not a fool who demands your attention • Take your time, you’ll make your way around • And I’m never gonna give up • On the two of us • There’s never been something so rare and true • I could spend a lifetime waiting on and on and on • And never find one like me and you CHORUS And I’m thinkin’ Romeo and Juliet never knew love this way I bet • Heaven you got me spinnin’ round • Just to drink your love on down • Romeo and Juliet never knew love like this I bet • Kisses weigh in by the pound • Love until the sun go down • Yeah, until the sun go down • Yeah, until the sun go down • Yeah, until the sun go down VERSE Feel like I’m stuck between a stone and a tight place every time you come around • Losin’ my grip as I’m keeping my distance • Beat of my heart begins to pound • And I’m all mixed up In a blur and a whiz • Hoping you’ll give yourself over to me • There’s no need to fear, my love will soon be here • Just take my hand and I’ll set you free BRIDGE I’ve found somebody to raise my head again • Now that I’m your one and only loverman • You can believe it • Come morning, noon, and night • I’ll be there for you baby, treat you right • You’ll never ever have to fall in love again SOLO

THE ONLY WOMAN ON THE WORLD (P. Clark, N. Sebastian) Hey Baby • I’m sure that I can give you the answers to the questions you seek • My darlin’ • If that won’t be too easy, fire ‘em away at me. • I’ve waited so long I’ve got to tell you about the love that makes my body beat • My only • You are my destination, after all these years can’t we finally be free • BRIDGE But maybe I’ll hurt you, or say something so cruel to turn your love away • Those men will desert you • I’ve seen it a thousand times • ‘Cause baby I cling to a sweet vision in my mind where you will always stay • And baby I plead you • That if you’ll just come a’runnin’ to my love • As long as you’re around me I • I’ll treat you like the only woman on the world • And bathe in your glory • Remind you why the lord above made you a girl • You mean that much to me • You mean that much to me • There are men that you can read just like an open book • But I’m tellin’ you the story • And in your eyes I see the only woman on the world • When you make love to me • When you make love to me • SAX • VERSE Hey listen, I’ve tried to keep my distance but that’s not what I’m willin’ to do • My angel, you’ve been so far away, now you’ve come into view • Don’t worry • No one is gonna love you quite like I can. I won’t turn away • I’m comin’ to fix your hesitation, darlin’ you have found a good man today • Not one who will beat you • It’s easier for you to turn my love away • But I’ll never mistreat you • I’ve been there a thousand times • ‘Cause baby I cling to a sweet vision in my mind where we will always play • And baby I plead you that if you’ll just come a’runnin’ to my love • As long as you’re around me I • CHORUS

Free My Mind 04:26
FREE MY MIND (P. Clark) Clean off these dusty keys and give my life a whirl • I’m livin’ in a better day for all the boys and the girls • Put all my mind into it • Now all I gotta do is do it • To try to free this thing my past has put in chains • Walk proud like a real man, get on my feet again • That all there really is to it • Gotta put a smile on my face and do it • BRIDGE Gray skies on a sunny day • Why’d I hurt myself for so long • Tellin’ them to go away • ‘Cause I know my will is so strong, still strong • Gonna keep on goin’ ‘til the end of time • I’m just gonna free my • CHORUS I’m gonna free my mind • From the shackles and the chains that bind • I’m gonna free my mind • From the shackles and the chains that bind • And if my heart is cold • God be willing that my soul is tight • I’m gonna free my mind • From the shackles and the chains that bind • VERSE No honest soul can disagree that all of us deserve to be free, my baby • Or the love that I feel for you, my lady • Put all my soul into it • And figured out a way to take the pain and undo it • To try to free this thing my past has cast in chains • Keep an eye on my backside, and learn how to love again • That’s all there really is to it • If I’ve got the courage to get through it • BRIDGE Searching for the reasons why • Why’d I turn my back for so long • Keep your head up to the sky • Until you know your will is so strong, still strong • Never ever gonna let the child inside me die • CHORUS

THINKIN’ BOUT YOU (P. Clark) So I’m thinkin’ bout you • Dreamin’ bout you • You know that I can’t call it over • And I’m thinkin’ bout you • Dreamin’ bout you • You know that I can’t call it over • VERSE There will never be another answer for it • Feel I’m resigned to the fact that I can’t get my vision back • No matter which way that the fates take me • I vowed and ventured to be on my own • Honey don’t you know it • Born with a restless heart, and a bad reputation • Will I ever make my station, baby • Stuck in a tricky part, alone naturally • Will ever break free, whoa • And then you came in out of nowhere • I wasn’t even looking though you seemed so familiar • So together again for the first time • I simply thought that I would be your friendI’m nothing if not a gentleman • PRE-CHORUS Thinkin’ about the one who matters to me • Thinkin’ bout you, thinkin’ bout me baby (baby) • ‘Cause you are the one I want • No need to stay here on my own • To go home every night alone so I’m thinkin • CHORUS • BRIDGE I’m thinkin’ about you every night and every day • While my thoughts are givin’ way • To the plans that I am schemin’, am I hopin’ or am I dreamin’ • Am I beggin’ or am I lyin’ • If you hear me, hear me cryin’ • VERSE See I’m alone every night and I’m thinkin’ bout you • And I toss and I turn and I dream about you • And I just can’t get over the fact • That I’m gettin’ older as the days attack • My mind is drowning in the thought of ya • Gotta tell you how I feel inside • I just gotta show it • PRE-CHORUS Thinkin’ about the one who matters to me • Thinkin’ bout you, thinkin’ bout me baby (baby) • ‘Cause you are the one I want • Can’t stay here waistin’ all my time • I’ve got to tell you what’s on my mind • CHORUS

Granted 04:14
GRANTED (P. Clark) I never really wanted to be the one to break it to you • But you ain’t acting like you used to baby anymore • And every time that we come to even talk about it • You won’t play along • But I try to be strong • Seems you’ve been looking to push the limits of my trust • I try to love you baby even though you break my heart • I even started to think you loved me all along • But I guess I was wrong • CHORUS • You took a good thing for granted • And now it’s gone • Now it’s gone • You took a good thing for granted • And now it’s gone • Now it’s gonee • VERSE You said you were the woman of my life • Now your words go through me like a knife • I gave myself completely, what’d you think I did this for • Say that your being up-front, although I really doubt it • I’ve known you too long • I’m talkin’ about saying what you feel • Are we broken up, go on and tell me the deal • ’Cause you oughta know • You had me starting to think loved me all along • Go on and prove me wrong ‘cause you let a good thing go • CHORUS • SOLO

IT’S ONLY LOVE (P. Clark) All I ever wanted was the comfort of a good friend • Not to be responsible for who it was or how it ended • You made a fool of me • I made a fool of you • Now it’s a done deal • Now I hear you bitchin’ how you couldn’t stand me last week • I could retaliate, but I will turn the other cheek • I suppose you hate me now • Well, excuse me for lovin’ • Or do I mean livin’? • CHORUS It’s only love • It’s not the two of us • It’s only love • There is no reason to get so upset • It’s only love • It’s not the two of us • And I don’t wanna fight no more • It’s only love • VERSE One year ago, baby, it just seemed like the thing to do • Didn’t want to hurt no one, especially no a girl like you • We made the perfect home • Then we tore it in two • Now tell me what’s real • You always made the rules, well guess who’s got their own rules no • My self-respect and I will never lose it anyhow • Still don’t wanna be a friend • Well excuse me for livin’ • Or do I mean lovin’ • CHORUS
7.
Twenty Days 04:46
TWENTY DAYS (P. Clark) Every time you walk on, you walk offI feel my heart sink deeper into my chest • And I turn cold from the fear of rejection you put on me • Never turn your eyes to see me • I’ve got a rule about the girls on the subway • I try to keep it under control • But I need to talk to you before I blow • ‘Cause it’s been twenty days that I’ve said nothin’ in a row • Twenty Days • CHORUS Twenty days that I’ve been dreamin’ bout you mornin’, noon and night • When I’m shivering in the evening and nothing’s going right • And I’m losin’ all my rhythm, doing the best I can • I would walk around the world just to be your man • Twenty days • Twenty days • Twenty days • VERSE And every time I see those doors close behind you • I feel like a rat in a maze and I’m watchin’ all of my steps • Wondering if I’ll ever have the courage to talk to you • Do you wanna talk to me to? • I fell in love with a girl that I met on a train • And ever since that day I know • That I need to talk to you before I blow • ‘Cause it’s been twenty days that I’ve said nothin’ in a row • Twenty days • CHORUS • BRIDGE I never had a love so bad I had to grab it • But still I’m scared to talk to you • They say in twenty-one days it becomes a habit • One more and I may as well be through • SOLO • BRIDGE • CHORUS

Loverman 04:02
LOVERMAN (P. Clark) It was a dark day, last Friday • Rain was hammering down • I bought a bottle of wine, we drank a glass or two • But nothing’s made sense, since Sunday • Said I can’t come around • Now I’ve been trying to work out what came over you • I have been devoted to your cause for quite a while • And I would like to think we made a happy pair • But there is something going round inside the back of my mind • And if you’ll hear my thoughts, I have a few to share • PRE-CHORUS You see never before have I seen such a lady • Make me go out of my head if I weren’t already crazy • Do you realize this feeling hangs over the two of us • And do I try to make you understand • CHORUS I wanna be your Loverman • Just to hold you and to guide you • There’s no way I will not try to be your Loverman • Just to please you and protect you for no other will affect you • Be your Loverman • I wanna be you Loverman • Gotta be your Loverman • Just to show you I can • VERSE Now it’s a hard day, next Friday • Not a cloud in the air • I take a walk in the park and chill an hour or two • Still trying to make sense of Sunday • Rain in my eyes, you don’t care • I can’t believe I would just be written off by you • PRE-CHORUS Because never before have I seen such a lady • But I am not gonna hang out and let your reasons play me • Do you realize this feeling hangs over the two of us • And do I try to make you understand • CHORUS • IRIE

PLACE WHERE WE BELONG (P. Clark) Darlin angel, in your lips you paint your freedom • You cover them in scarlet for the world to recognize • All for the chance to find me following • The illusions of the times that you dropped me to my knees • How love was so blind • I call you Rachel in the middle of the evening • Say you’ve got better things to do than to waste your time alive • All for a boy who comes from the wrong side of town • Am I sure to tell you lies? Well I guess we’ll never see • How it was so right • CHORUS Now we could search the whole world over and we’re still not traveled enough • But I’m losing my ability to stay strong • So tell me is it black, or is it white? • Am I wrong, or could I once be right? • It’s the best of my intentions steering me wrong • Cause we all search for a place where we belong • VERSE And now you’re ancient, at least that’s what your mirror’s tellin’ you • You wasted all your life away persuing Mr. Right • Now your a faded rose, ain’t it fast how life goes, • And the sands of Father Time have you dropped down to your knees • But will I ever cross your mind? • CHORUS • SOLO
