1. AT THIS MOMENT
What did you think
I would do at this moment
When you're standing before me
With tears in your eyes?
Trying to tell me that you
Have found you another
And you just don't love me no more
What did you think
I would say at this moment
When I'm faced with the knowledge
That you just don't love me
Did you think I would curse you?
Or say things to hurt you?
Cause you just don't love me no more
Did you think I could hate you?
Or raise my hands to you?
Now come on, you know me too well
How could I hurt you
When darling, I love you
And you know... I'd never hurt you
What do you think, I would give at this moment?
If you'd stay I'd subtract twenty-years from my life
I'd fall down on my knees
Kiss the ground that you walk on
If I could just hold you again
I'd fall down on my knees
Kiss the ground that you walk on, baby
If I could just hold you...again

2. HOPELESS ROMANTIC
Sometimes on sundays
I sit by the TV
Watching sad movies alone
When it gets to the part
Where the little dog dies
I cry
Somtimes I think
I was born just a little
Behind or ahead of my time
I live in a dream world
Of caring and sharing
And good guys and nobosy lies
I'm a believer
And much more than anything
I belieeve in you
You're not a deceiver
And if you told me the ocean went dry
I'd believe it was true
So call me a hopeless romantic
Because I can still believe
I can still believe in true love
ANd hopeless romantics
Still can find a way
To make true love last these days

3. I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF
Your wardrobe's purchased
At the latest boutique
Your place is furnished
Like the President's suite
Your freezer's filled up
With the finest of meat
Somehow you manage
On a hundred a week
They say you like to feel
White gold on your neck
They say when you make love
You like to direct
And that new sports car
You proceeded to wreck
They say I ought to ask
Who picked up the check
[CHORUS]
I can take care of myself
My friends all say
I ought to think twice
I can take care of myself
I don't need nobody's advice
You're so nice
Attempts to charm you
Met with little success
I never met someone
So hard to impress
Until one day by chance
You saw my address
The next day you had on
Your lowest cut dress
[Repeat CHORUS]
Aw, play the song, boys
Play the song
They could be correct
In their judgment of you
Maybe you'll take me
And make me a fool
But I'm a big boy
And I know what to do
It might be worth it
To wake up next to you
[Repeat CHORUS]
I can take care of myself
I don't need nobody's advice
Oh, I can take care of myself
I don't need nobody's advice
Yeah, I can take care of myself
I don't need nobody's advice

4. COUNTRY GIRL, CITY MAN
I was born in New York City
I was born in Georgia
Girl you're lookin kinda pretty
Don't you think we oughta
Get to know each other better
Take the time to find out while we can
Gotta be some soul between a country girl and a city man
We could find, we could find it's groovy just to cross the line
City boy had your eggs and bacon
You were raised on cornbread
The rooster crowed while I was wakin
Bout the time I was going to bed
Bet we got a lot in common
Take the time to find out while we can
Gotta be some soul between a country girl and a city man
We could find, we could find it's groovy just to cross the line
We could find, we could find it's groovy just to cross the line
He was born in New York City
She was born in Georgia
Girl you're lookin fine
Don't you think we oughta
Get to know each other better
Take the time to find out while we can
Gotta be some soul between a country girl and a city man
We could find, we could find it's groovy just to cross the line
That man's from New York City
She's a girl from Georgia town
We could find, we could find it's groovy just to cross the line
