If That's

By michael mcdonald & randy goodrum

Look back loneliness, you won't see me behind you
Hey now emptiness, no more leading the way
Go on desperateness, i don't need you beside me no more

Come on happiness, i can feel you gaining ground
Hey now foolishness, i might keep you around
Go on emptiness, i won't look behind me no more

I don't rule you out, i know you're there
But i'm on to you now

Chorus:
That's why, i won't be down very long
That's why, i'll be all right from now on
That's why, i get stronger everytime
That's why, i know this heart will survive
After you're gone

You know i believe all we really have is time
No use worrying, no use wondering why
'cause through it all, we're only here to laugh and cry
It's meant to be that failure only brings another way
Every heartache always has another day
Come on loneliness, i don't need to hide you no more

I don't rule you out, i know you're there
But i'm on to you now

Chorus:

By michael mcdonald & kenny loggins

Maybe it's true what they say about it
Maybe we can't make the ends meet
Maybe we'll all have to do without it
Maybe this world's just incomplete

Still we all look for the truth in our lives
Searching from different sides
So hard living in a desperate world
But we all do the best that we can

Chorus 1:
Some people see a change
Some will remain the same
But all of them live their lives under the gun
Some see the road as clear
Some say the end is here
They say it's a hopeless fight, well i say i gotta try

Maybe there's too much to think about it
Maybe there ain't nothin' left to say
But if our time's really runnin' out
Then this is no time to run away

'cause we're destined to look for the truth in this life
Blinded by tearful eyes
If it's no use tryin' in a desperate world
Then tell me why was i born

Chorus 2:
Some people see a change
Some will remain the same
But all of them live their lives under the gun
Some see the road as clear
Some say the end is here
They say it's a hopeless fight, but i say i gotta try

Lonely-living too lonely
Is it too late
To turn it all around

Chorus 2:

Someone's tryin'
Someone's cryin' out
While we live under the gun
Someone's livin'
Someone's givin' up

By michael mcdonald

It was so right, it was so wrong
Almost at the same time
The pain and ache a heart can take
No one really knows

When the memories cling and keep you there
Till you no longer care
And you can let go now

It's wrong for me to cling to you
Somehow i just needed time
From what was to be-it's not like me
To hold somebody down

Chorus:
But i was tossed high by love
I almost never came down
Only to land here
Where love's no longer found
Where i'm no longer bound
And i can let go now

By michael mcdonald & jackie de shannon

How do i please you
How do i please you
How do i please you
How do i please you
Girl, in your one way heart
In your one track mind
How do i please you
How do i please you

Oh, when i say that you're the only one
I'm not tryin' to fool you, baby
Well, i'm only here to get the job done
'cause you're so used to getting what you want
Well, look no further, baby

Chorus 1:
If that's what it takes
I don't need to know anymore
Ain't no doubt about it
That's what i came here for

So how do i please you
How do i please you
Girl, in your one way heart
In your one track mind
How do i please you
How do i please you

Well, i don't know much about the life you lead
But it ain't enough just to offer my heart
Girl, i know i could get you what you need
'cause you're so use to getting what you want
Well, look no further, baby

Chorus 1:

Chorus 2:
If that's what it takes
I ain't gonna lose any time
Whatever you want from me, baby
Whatever it takes to make you mine

By michael mcdonald & ed sanford

Who are you
Are you someone that i knew
Or did you come and go inside a dream

Well, you look the same
Even though you say you've changed
You can't hide the shame of a guilty heart

Chorus:
Well, i know there's a reason love don't always rhyme
So you think by leavin' you're not wasting precious time
Love's not always happiness
Sad, but it's true, girl
Every fool's got to learn he's got nothing to lose
Playin' by the rules

What's your plan
Will you try just one more man
And trade a thrill that's gone for a brand new start

Will you love him only
Until you leave him lonely
When he tries to change and tame your restless heart

Chorus:

When are you gonna learn
That a love is earned
Sometimes you got to fight
But, oh, baby-that's all right
