1 Across the north and south to Key Largo, love for sale
2 An invisible man sleeping in your bed
3 And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
4 And incidents arose from circumstance
5 And now she's two years older her mother's with a soldier
6 And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
7 And though she will mess up your life, you want her just the same
8 And when we hear the voices sing, the book of love will open up and let us in
9 Are you happy, are you satisfied, how long can you stand heat
10 Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
11 Didn't know how lost I was until I found you
12 Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
13 Don't take money, don't take fame, don't need no credit card to ride this train
14 Easy ready willing overtime
15 Every time he pulls me near, I just wanna cheer
16 Every time you call my name, I heat up like a burnin' flame
17 Everyone you meet, they're jamming in the streets
18 Father wears his Sunday best Mother's tired she needs a rest
19 Get up, get up, get up, get up, let's make love tonight
20 Got in a little hometown jam, so they put a rifle in my hand
21 He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
22 I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools
23 I know her love is true but it's so damn easy makin' love to you
24 I love you though you hurt me so
25 I was wrong, now I find just one thing makes me forget
26 If you want to find all the cops they're hanging out in the donut shop
27 I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
28 I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
29 I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
30 It must've been some kind of kiss, I shoulda walked away
31 It's gonna take money, a whole lotta spendin' money
32 I've got my back against the record machine
33 Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again
34 Just don't ask me how I am
35 Kick off your Sunday shoes
36 Knew he must've been about seventeen
37 Let me hear your body talk
38 Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
39 Looking out a dirty old window Down below the cars in the City go rushing by
40 Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream, red, gold and green
41 No April rain, no flowers' bloom, no wedding Saturday within the month of June
42 Now we're sharing the same dreams, and our hearts can beat as one
43 Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
44 Once upon a time there was light in my life, but now there's only love in the dark
45 Ooh baby, do you know what that's worth?
46 Paul, I think I told you I'm a lover not a fighter
47 Poor boys and pilgrims with families
48 Rolling like thunder under the covers
49 See yourself, give your freewill a chance, you've got to work to succeed
50 She'll get a hold on you, believe it
51 So when the night falls, my lonely heart calls
52 So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage parlors
53 Some of them want to abuse you, some of them want to be abused
54 Suckin on chili dogs outside the TasteeFreez
55 Take your passion and make it happen
56 The five years we have had have been such good times
57 The road is long, there are mountains in your way
58 The Salvation Army band played and the children drank lemonade
59 There is freedom within, there is freedom without
60 There is good and bad mmmmhmmm in everyone
61 There were incidents and accidents, there were hints and allegations
62 This is it boys, this is war
63 Though I tried before to tell her The feelings I have for her in my heart
64 Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate
65 Watching every motion in this foolish lover's game
66 We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
67 We'll leave the TV and the radio behind
68 Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
69 When your world is full of strange arrangements And gravity won't pull you through
70 Where can I find a woman like that
71 Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
72 Who's gonna tell you things Aren't so great
73 Why do I find it so hard to write the next line, oh I want the truth to be said?
74 Will you meet him on the main line or will you catch him on the rebound?
75 Work all day to earn his pay, so we can play all night
76 Wouldn't wanna be swept away, far away from the one that I love
77 Write it on a pound note, pound note
78 You can listen as well as you hear
79 You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
80 You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
