1. A WOMAN'S LOVE
I have known it
And I have felt it
I have known a woman's love
And I have tasted
And I have wasted
A woman's love
And I know
I know I'll never understand it
All the little things that make it grand and
A woman's love
And I know
I know I'll never come face to face
With anything that takes the place
Of a woman's love
Well I have kissed it
Tried to resist it
I have missed a woman's love
And I have hated
Taken for granted
A woman's love
And I know
I know I'll never understand it
All the little things that make it grand and
(
A woman's love
And I know
I know I'll never come face to face
With anything that takes the place
Of a woman's love
Well I have needed
And I have pleaded
And I have lost a woman's love
And I have worshiped
And I have cursed it
A woman's love
And I know
I know I'll never understand it
All the little things that make it grand
A woman's love
And I know
I know I'll never come to face to face
With anything that takes the place
Of a woman's love
And I know
I know I'll never come face to face...

2. A LOVE LIKE THAT
Well I've been wonderin' what I've been missin'
I guess I should have known
But my heart does and it ain't whisperin'
It tells me just what it wants
Someone who knows what I like in my coffee
And the shape of my ol' hat
A lover who always looks at me not through me
I need a love like that
I need a love like that
I could use a little sun on my back
A truck needs a highway, a train needs a track
I need a love like that
Well I need a new car but I can't afford it
So I keep patchin' that ol' flat
My heart's lonely and I can't ignore it
I need a love like that
Yeah, I need a love like that
I could use a little sun on my back
A truck needs a highway, a train needs a track
And I need a love like that
Two young people dancin' in the daylight
They don't care where they're at
Waitin' on sunset and holdin' on so tight
I need a love like that
Yeah, I need a love like that
I could use a little sun on my back
A truck needs a highway, a train needs a track
I need a love like that
One little baby hidin' in the shadow
Of her daddy's hat
Lovin' and trustin' and blindly she'll follow
I need a love like that
Yeah, I need a love like that
I could use a little sun on my back
A truck needs a highway a train needs a track
And I need a love like that
Yeah, a truck needs a highway, a train needs a track
And I need a love like that.

3. LOVE'S GOT A HOLD ON YOU.
I called my doctor on the telephone
Help me Doc, there's something wrong
I can't shake it it's gone too far
He said, tell me what your symptoms are
I said my hands are sweaty and my knees are weak
I can't eat and I can't sleep
It's turning me every way but loose
He said, it sounds like love's got a hold on you
No doubt love's got a hold on you
I told my buddies I was settling down
No more of this runnin' round
They looked at me like I was a fool
And said, come on tell us what's wrong with you
I said my hands are sweaty and my knees are weak
I can't eat and I can't sleep
It's turning me every way but loose
He said, it sounds like love's got a hold on you
No doubt love's got a hold on you
Well I tossed and turned til the morning light
Holding my pillow hanging on for life
There ain't nothing I can do
They said it sounds like love's got a hold on you
Sounds like love's got a hold on you

4. KISS AN ANGEL GOOD MORNING.
Whenever a chance to meet some old friends on the street
They wonder how does a man get to be this way
I always got a smileing face any time and any place
And everytime they ask me why
I just smile and say
You've got to kiss angel good mornin
And let her know you think about her when your gone
So kiss an angel good mornin
And love her like the devil when you get back home
Now people may guess the secret of happeniness
Some of them never learn
It's a simple thing
The secret I'm speaking of
Is a woman and a man in love
And the anSwer is in this song that I always sing
You got to kiss an angel good morning
And let her know you think about her when your gone
So kiss an angel good morning
And love her like the devil when you get back home
Kiss an angel good morning
And let her know you think about her when your gone
So kiss an angel good morning
And love her like the devil when you get back home.

5. DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES
I know you loved him along time ago
And even now in my arms you still want him I know
But darlin' this time let your mem'ries die
When you hold me tonight don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes let it be me
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
Darling just once let yesterday go
And you'll find more love than you've ever known
Just hold me tight when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Maybe I've been a fool holding on all this time
Lying here in your arms knowing he's in your mind
But I keep hoping someday that you'll see the light
Let it be tonight, don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes let it be me
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
Darling just once let yesterday go
And you'll find more love than you've ever known
Just hold me tight when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes let it be me
And don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
Darlin' just once let yesterday go
And you'll find more love than you've ever known
Just hold me tight when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Just hold me tight when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes

6. WHEN SOMEBODY LOVES YOU
Songwriters: Jackson, Alan Eugene;
When your heart is all alone every second
Seems so long
When it's just you, you can't see through
Those ol' clouds that rain so blue
But when somebody loves you
There's nothing you can't do
When somebody loves you
It's easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you
When it's late, the sun hangs low
By yourself, nowhere to go
Sing a song, dance alone
Play solitaire and stare at the phone
But when somebody loves you
There's nothing you can't do
When somebody loves you
It's easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you
So let's put aside our foolish pride
And let our hearts say, "Hello"
We both agree we're just no good
At bein' on our own
'Cause when somebody loves you
There's nothing you can't do
When somebody loves you
It's easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you
The way I love you
The way I love you

7. WHEN LOVE COMES AROUND
Love for me hasn't been easy
I've let true love fall to the ground
Through the years and the tears
I've learned what love's about
And this time I'll be ready
When love comes around
When love comes around I'll be ready
Love will find me a brand new man
And I'll be standing here
With my heart in my hand
This time I'll be ready
When love comes around
Too many times I've lost a good love
And I can see now I let it down
But if love comes back to me
It won't see the same old me
This time I'll be ready
When love comes around
When love comes around I'll be ready
Love will find me a brand new man
And I'll be standing here
With my heart in my hand
This time I'll be ready
When love comes around
Yeah, I'll be standing here
With my heart in my hand
This time I'll be ready
When love comes around

8. WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL
A stark naked light bulb hangs over my head
There's one lonely pillow on my double bed
Yeah I've got a ceiling, a floor and four walls
Oh who says you can't have it all
My room's decorated with pictures of you
Your letters wallpaper this shrine to the blues
I've got precious memories at my beck and call
Oh who says you can't have it all
I've got everything a broken heart needs
Oh I'm doing fine don't you worry about me
'Cause I'm Lord and Master of a fools Taj Mahal
Oh who says you can't have it all
I've got everything a broken heart needs
Oh I'm doing fine don't you worry about me
'Cause I'm Lord and Master of a fools Taj Mahal
Oh who says you can't have it all
Oh who says you can't have it all

9. LIVING ON LOVE
Two young people without a thing
Say some vows and spread their wings
Settle down with just what they need
Livin' on love
She don't care bout what's in style
She just likes the way he smiles
It takes more than marble and tile
Livin' on love
Livin' on love
Buyin' on time
Without somebody, nothin ain't worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme
Livin' on love
It sounds simple
That's what you're thinking
Love can walk through fire without thinking
It doesn't take much when you get enough
Livin' On love
Two old people, without a thing
Children gone, still they sing
Side by side on that front porch swing
Livin' on love
He can't see anymore
She can barely sweep the floor
Hand in hand they'll walk through that door
Just livin' on love
Livin' on love
Buyin' on time
Without somebody, nothin ain't worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme
Livin' on love
It sounds simple
That's what you're thinking
Love can walk through fire without thinking
It doesn't take much when you get enough
Livin' on love
Livin' on love
Buyin' on time
Without somebody, nothin ain't worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme
Livin' on love
It sounds simple
That's what you're thinking
Love can walk through fire without thinking
It doesn't take much when you get enough
Livin' on love
No it doesn't take much when you get enough
Livin' on love

10. I STILL LOVE YOU
The door still creaks, the roof still leaks
When the rain comes fallin' down
The dog still barks
At every car that comes around
My boss at work, he?s still a jerk
That ain?t nothing new
I?m such a dope, my heart?s still broke
?Cause, I still love you
My favorite picture of you
Is still on my window sill
You wrote to me, don?t ever change
And I?m afraid, I never will
When day is done, the night still comes
And I still toss and turn
I still try to have some pride
While the bridge still burns
My arms still ache, my heart still waits
And I know there?s no use
I?m still a fool and it?s so cruel
?Cause, I still love you
My favorite picture of you
Is still on my window sill
You wrote to me, don?t ever change
And I?m afraid, I never will
The door still creaks, the roof still leaks
But that ain?t nothing new
Thanks for the call, I guess that?s all
Except, I still love you
