1. _ A Simple Thing Like Cry
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
If it didn't hurt so bad
If it didn't hurt so bad
Maybe i could cry
If i thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If i could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If i could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then i could do
A simple thing like cry
If it didn't hurt so bad
If it didn't hurt so bad
Maybe i could cry
Don't you know i plan to spend
Every moment of my life with you
Now you're trying to tell me
That my dreams just won't come true
Thanks for giving me a million reasons why
But it hurts too bad to do
A simple thing like cry
If i thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If i could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If i could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then i could do
A simple thing like cry
If it didn't hurt so bad
If it didn't hurt me so bad
Maybe i could
If it didn't hurt so bad
Maybe i could cry
I could cry, cry
If it didn't hurt me
If i didn't love you
Hurt me

2. _ Did You Read The Morning Papers?
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson/r. monica)
Did you read the morning paper
Did you see the front headline
Did you read the morning paper
Baby let me lend you mine
There on the front page was a picture
Of a crowd as they watched a parade passing by
And through the haze of last nights sleep
Something familiar caught my eye
There was a couple looking so much in love, yes
They had a front line view
And as i pulled the paper closer
I realized standing next to her it was you
Did you read the morning paper
Did you see the front headline
Did you read the morning paper
Baby let me lend you mine
Now i know why you've been working late each night
And no longer have desire to ever hold me tight
And your busy, busy schedule was all a lie
Oh, even the dream with a bonus, oh just another alibi
Did you read the morning paper
Did you see the front headline
Did you read the morning paper
Baby let me lend you mine
Did you get the news today
Did you read the morning paper
Isn't the picture very clear
Where do we go from here
Did you read the morning paper
Did you see the front headlines
Did you read the morning paper
Baby let me lend you mine
Oh, what now
Did you read the morning paper
Did you get the news today

3. _ And If You See Him
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
And if you see him
Tell him i miss him
Tell him i feel so bad
For messing up what we had
And if you see him
Tell him i'm sorry
And i regret the day
I let him walk away
And i want to be by his side
And i need his love and pride
And i need him
And if you see him
Tell him i'm begging
I'll do a song and dance
Just for a second chance
And if you see him
Tell him just how i look
The circles underneath my eyes
The make up don't seem to hide
And i stay awake every night
And i pray that he just might walk in
And love me
Walk in and love me
I miss him more than he'll ever know
Tell him he was
My everything
He was more than just a flame
And i need him
I miss him
And if you see him
Tell him my fire
No, it's just won't burn
Till the day that he returns
And i want to be by his side
And i need his love and pride
And if you see him
Tell him i'm begging

4. _ All The Befores
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Thought i could make it
Without you
Thought i could walk away
And never look back
Thought i had the secret
To stop these eyes from crying
Told myself he were no good
So what's the need in trying
But as you see, here i am
Loving you stronger than ever
Promising to be better
Getting into my head
I don't know how
To be nothing but yours
I guess i should have learned
From all the befores
I wrote a nice long letter
Explaining my reasons for leaving
Hoping it would tear you apart
And leave you grieving
I bet you didn't even read it
You're so familiar with the lines
You just glanced up at the clock
'cause you knew the exact time i'd knock
Without pride
Here i stand
Waiting for your forgiveness
This is where i belong
Come what may
This time i'll stay
You might as well lock all the doors
I guess i should have learned
From all the befores
Promising to be better
And getting into my head
I don't know how to be nothing but yours
I guess i should have learned
From all the befores

5. _ Surrender
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
I want the love that you deny me
That i need so desperately
The tenderness that you posses
You've deprived me
You must pray for the lonely night
That i walked the floor for you
And don't know you must erase
All the tearstairs on my face
Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love
Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love
Don't you know that i'm taking my case
To the highest court of love
And these are some of the charges
You'll be found guilty of
You've used me and abused me
'till i felt like i wanted to die
You created a need in me
That only you can satisfy
Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love
Come along peacefully
Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love
Give it to me, ah right now
Give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me all, give it to me
Ah, right now, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me
Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love
Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love
Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love
Surrender your love baby
Surrender your love

6. _ I'm A Winner
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
I roll the dice
Seven eleven
You'll either take me down
Or you'll take me to heaven
And i'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby
I said i'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby
My friends all say
He don't play by the rules
So listen
Don't you be no fool
Don't you know, you're just a beginner
So look at me now
I'm a winner
I'm a winner
Yes, i am
She's a winner
Yeah, yes i am
She's a winner
Like a roulette wheel
Spinning around in my head
I put my chips on nine
Gamblin' you'd be mine
And i'm so glad
I took a chance on you baby
Say i'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby
My friends all say
We just don't understand it
You play this game
You'll come out empty handed
'cause here we arrange her
And then shortchange her
But i fooled them, y'all
I'm a winner
I'm a winner
Yes i am
She's a winner
Yes i am
Put that money down
And put 'dem chips on nine
I'm a gambling girl
And i give all i got
So i am at your love
And i hit the jackpot
And i'm so glad
I took a chance on you baby
I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby
I'm a winner
Yes i am
I'm a winner
Yes i am

7. _ I'll Settle For You
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Every star has a twinkle
Every palm has a wrinkle
Every leaf comes from a tree
I would agree
So if everything is made up of two
And the sky really needs the blue
For my other half
I'll settle for you
Every future has a past
Every first has a last
Every night has a day
Come what may
So if everything is made up of two
Whether it be old or new
For my other half
I'll settle for you
Who wants to be like a sea without a shore
The love just drifting forever more
Every smile has a frown
All you gotta do is turn it upside down
Every house has a door
Of that i'm sure
So if everything is made up of two
I think it would be best if you know
For my other half
I'll settle for you
Don't you know, i'll settle for you
I'll settle for you
If i had to settle, baby
I'll settle for you
Don't you know, i'll settle for you

8. _ Remember Me
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Bye baby, see you around
Didn't i tell you i wouldn't hold you down
Take good care of yourself, y'hear
Don't let me hear about you shedding a tear
You're gonna make it
You're gonna take it
Remember me as a sunny day
That you once had, along the way
Didn't i inspire you a little higher
Remember me as a funny clown
That made you laugh when you were down
Didn't i boy, didn't i boy
Remember me as a big balloon
At a carnaval that ended too soon
Remember me as a breath of spring
Remember me as a good thing
Bye baby, see you around
I already know about the new love you've found
What can i do but wish you well
What we had was really swell
I won't forget it, i have no regrets
Remember me as a sound of laughter
And my face the morning after
Didn't the sky beckon us to fly?
Yes, you'l remember the times we fought
But don't forget me in your tender thoughts
Please darlin' oh yeah
Remember me when you drink the wine
Of sweet succes and i gave you my best
Remember me every song you sing
Remember me as a good thing
Remember me as a sunny day
Please darling, remember me as a good thing
Remember me when you drink the wine
Remember me as a good thing
Remember me as a big balloon
Don't forget me darling

9. _ Reach Out, I'll Be There
(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland,jr.)
If you feel that you can't go on
'cause all your hope is gone
And your life is filled with confusion
And hapiness is just an illusion
And your world around is tumblin' down
Darling, reach out
Reach out, reach out
I'll give you all the love you need
I'll be there
You can always depend on me
I can tell by the way you hang your head
Your with out of love, now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found
I know what you're thinking
You're alone now, no love of your own
Darling, reach out
Reach out for me boy
I'll give you all the love you need
I'll be there
Hey baby, i'm gonna be right there
You can always depend on me

You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
When you're lost and about to give up
'cause your best ain't good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you're driftin' on your own
When you need a hand to hold
When you need a little love
Reach out, i'll be there
Reach out, i'll be there
Reach out, i'll be there
To give you all the love you need
I'll try ro give you all the love you need
I'll be there to love and shelter you

I'll be there to always see you through
To give you all the love you need
I'm gonna give you all the love you need

10. _ I Can't Give Back The Love I Feel For You
(brian holland/nickolas ashford/valeriesimpson)
Here's a tear, for a souvenir
And a dream, that's torn at the seams
Here's a promise you made to me
Of the tomorrow i'll never see
And then you're free to go
But i can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what i do
Take these arms that held you close
I thought i was the one you needed the most
Take these hands, they're no good to me
That used to touch you so tenderly
But i can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You have to take all of me
Here's a ring
That didn't mean a thing
And the letters you wrote
That gave my young heart hope
Take the pillow where my dreams were made
And the mind, where the thought of you stayed
But baby, you should know
That i can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what i do
Take these eyes that once could see
Now reflections of a misery
The hapiness i thought would last
Now a becoming just a thing of the past
But i can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You have to take all of me
No, i can't give back
No, i feel for you
Oh, i'm gonna be stuck
No matter what i do
'cause it'll grow 'till the world
Don't go 'round no more
But i can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what i do
But i can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what i do
But i can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what i do

11. _ Didn't You Know (you'd Have To Cry Sometime)
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Remember when you left?
You had your own rules about playing the game
And any day, you could walk away feeling no pain
Now look at yourself
You're all hung up on somebody else
And in your eyes i see all the signs of the misery
That you laid on me
Baby, baby
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know that you'd lose your pride?
Didn't anybody tell you love had another side?
You used to be so proud
Now, your head's a little lower
And you walk slower
And you don't talk so loud
You've gotten wise
You know how love can build you up one moment
And the next, cut you down to size
Then you discover
All she told you was a bunch of lies
Baby, baby
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know that you'd lose your pride?
Didn't anybody tell you love had another side?
Baby, baby
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
