What Would It Take
(billy lawson/sam hogin/wally wilson)
I held the world in my arms
I threw away the moon for the stars
Couldnt see the forest for the trees
Couldnt see the love in front of me
What would it take to take me back?
Rebuild that bridge, retrace my tracks
I would give all I own, for one little stepping stone
What would it take to take me back?
I miss waking up with you there
Morning sun bouncing off your hair
And you all tangled up in silk and lace
A masterpiece no one can paint
What would it take to take me back?
Rebuild that bridge, retrace my tracks
I would give all I own, for one little stepping stone
What would it take to take me back?
Oh, what would it take to take me back?

Stepping Stones
Baby youve been up, broken down
Every man knows your name in this whole damn town
In every bar they know your drink, what should I think
I turned around to look and you gave some dude a wink
I thought Id be happy with a woman like you,
But you walked on my pride and my manhood too
I dont know too much but one thing I know
A man stuck on you is like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
What you forgot to mention, what was your real intention
Did you want a man to love, or someone to prop and carry you up
To a higher status, but the matter of fact is, your detachment
Will bring you further down and now youre all used up
Dont bother coming round
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Well, I remember back to waht you put me thru
I keep thinking to myself
Whats wrong with you
Aint it enough to have a man for a lover and a friend
Tear him up and leave him when the moneys spent
Well, youre just like delilah sittin in her den
You take the strongest man and break em down again
But I have gained some knowledge
Go on pack your things and move back to college
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone

(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
You're trying to make your mark in society
Using all the tricks that you used on me.
You're reading all those high fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin' girl are causing public scenes.
I said
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone,
Not your stepping stone.
When I first met you girl you didn't have no shoes
Now you're walking 'round like you're front page news.
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose
But you won't find my name in your book of Who's Who.

Not your stepping stone,

If You Live Like That
You say you want to live for today
Before today is lost
But when the returns come in
Do they balance the cost
I can see your four wheels spin
I can smell smoke from the blaze
But we arent moving anyway
If youre seeing past rose colored shades
If you live like that
Dont look back
cause its cold
And its mighty
It may turn your back
Blood on the tracks baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks baby
I said dont look back
I see it all around
People want it good and want it fast
As long as it moves you for the moment
It doesnt matter if it lasts
But our love is sweet
It can drive me to my knees
But we still got troubles you and i
Seeing the forest for the trees
If you live like that
Dont look back
cause its cold
And its mighty
It may turn your back
Blood on the tracks baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks baby
I said dont look back
Ive had enough of these two lives
You say youll give to me
Ive had enough of your freedom
You know I want to feel free
Ive had enough gospel
I could spin my head around
I said if youre so caught up in heaven
You dont even see the ground
If you live like that
Dont look back
cause its cold
And its mighty
It may turn your back
Blood on the tracks, baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks, baby
I said dont look back
All we need is to take time
(slow down, new way)
See tomorrow in plain sight
(new dawn, new day)
New horizon in plain view
And were oiling up the engine
To put you straight on through
If you live like that
Dont look back
Oh no cause its cold
And its mighty
It may turn your back
Blood on the tracks baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks baby
I said dont look back
Blood on the tracks baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks baby
I said dont look back
Oh theres blood on the tracks baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks baby
Dont look back
Dont look back
If you live like that

Heart Away
(robin wilson)
Heres a little something that I brought here for you
It aint much but it might just do
Fairly serious could hardly say
That I couldnt give my heart away
I couldnt give my heart away
Its never enough to feel and say
Throw my promises away
Several things that I could do
But I couldnt give my heart to you
I couldnt give my heart to you
Smokes on the table the matches are lost
Theres room in the back of the bar
Fairly serious could hardly say
That I couldnt give my heart away
I couldnt give my heart away
Aw, its not really serious but I should prove
That I dont mean what I might not do
Not that you wanted it anyway
But I couldnt give my heart away
I couldnt give my heart away...

Come Back To My Love
(bob gaudio/jerry corbetta/john bettis)
I hear you crying
Through a long distance line
Now youre finally saying
It was good to be mine
But you couldnt throw it
cause you didnt know it
And now
You want to come back
Come back to my love
You want to come back
Come back to my love
Bring the guitar in
When you know its all youve got
You finally need me
Always did from the start
But you couldnt show it
cause you didnt know it
And now
You want to come back
Come back to my love
You want to come back
Come back to my love
So I say to you
I cant live without it
But I know its true
And I cant have love in my life
Without you
So girl
Why dont you come back
Come back to my love
Why dont you come back
Come back to my love
Oh girl
Why dont you come back
Come back to my love
You got to come back
Come back to my love
You got to come back
Come back to my love

Find My Way Back
I remember the last time we talked
How I listened but still did not hear
A fool thinks he's wise to it all
Even as love disappears
Now I'm down on my knees like a wounded man
I've made mistakes that I just can't ignore.
I'll follow my heart down this highway
And hope it leads back to your door.
(Chorus)
If you could read between the lines on my face
You'd see just what I'm goin' through.
And if you believe in me, each step I will try to replace
Till I Find My Way Back to you .
It's hard to admit when your lost
When pride seems to stand in your way
And the blues is your only companion, walking these streets in the rain.
Still I know in my soul I can get you back
Your memory won't leave me alone
Is your heart free? Or still here with me?
Feels like I'm so far from home.
(Chorus)
If you could read between the lines on my face
You'd see the regret showin' through
And if you believe in me
Each step I will try to retrace (...to find my way back..)
If you could feel the tears I cry in the night
Only silence when I call your name
And if it takes all my life
I'll Find My Way Back to you.........
(Bridge)
I'll Find My Way Back to you
I'll Find My Way Back...
I'll Find my Way back to you.
(Refrain)
And If you believe in me
Each step I will try to retrace...(to find my way back)...
If you could feel the tears I cry in the night
Only silence when I call your name
And if it takes all my life
Each step I will try to retrace
Till I Find My Way Back to you.

You Made Me Just Another Stepping Stone
You claim to be all alone.
You made me just another stepping stone.
What are you trying to conquer?
Do you see the pearly gates laying beneath all that money?
Why cant you do what you love?
Is it really asking to much?
You claim to be all alone.
You made me just another stepping stone.
Is this something I'm suppose to condone.
No I won't.
No please don't.
Your starting to cry.
I can see the tears in your eyes.
This is the hardest goodbye I will ever know.
And all you can say is so, so, so what get f*cked.
You claim to be all alone.
You made me just another stepping stone.
I'm sorry but that's all gone.
The manipulation has become extremely aggravating.
No more deviations from the here and now.
I don't need the why.
For greed is the credence for it all.
Yet you still explain away.
Like I will again be the sucker of the day.
You seem vexed.
Its not that complex.
I just don't give a sh*t.
Not no more.
Not like before.
I cant believe in illusions so fake that if I touch them they might just break.
You claim to be all alone.
You made me just another stepping stone.
The seeds have been sewn.
The bait has been set. In this trap I wonder who you will get.
Will you ever love and regret.
In your eyes we met.
It was a flirtatious bet.
Words were said.
Somehow we ended up in together.
You said forever as you were trying to use me till I had nothing left.
But I knew, and I told you it just doesn't work that way.
Listen to the words I say.
You claim to be all alone.
You made me just another stepping stone.
Just another stepping stone.
So be alone and ask nothing more of me.
Please don't lie and say you loved me.
Antagonistic and unrealistic.
You claim to be all alone, all alone.
You made me just another stepping stone.

Back In The Groove
(maurice starr/tiffany)
Back in the groove now
Im so glad were back together
Back in the groove now
Want your love forever
Couldnt sleep at night
Id hold my pillow so tight
I was wondering why
When all I wanted was my guy
Just when I thought that Id lose my baby
He came to save me
Every tear that I cry
Everyday that went by
Will be no more
Back in the groove now
Im so glad were back together
Back in the groove now
And I want your love forever
I couldnt eat
Without your love, I was so weak
But now that youre here, my darlin
I have no fear
Just when I thought that Id lose my baby
He came to save me, yeah
Everyday that went by
Every tear that I cry
Will be no more
Back in the groove now
So glad were back together
Back in the groove now
And I want your love forever
Back in the groove now
So glad were back together
Back in the groove now
And I want your love forever
All the guys in the world
Couldnt take me away
From being his girl
Im so crazy bout you baby
A broken heart will be no more
I just wanted to say
That Im so glad that were back together again
And the only other thing I have to say
That I want your love forever
I want your love forever
Back in the groove now
So glad were back together
Back in the groove now
And I want your love forever
Back in the groove now
So glad were back together
Back in the groove now
And I want your love forever

Please Come Back To Me
Sittin in the car
One spring break afternoon
Knowin u couldn't be far
And that I'd see you soon
Away from you
Is where I hate to be
But get a clue
And please come back to me
Please come back to me
I miss your crazy mind
I want you to be
Here so you'll find
You'll eventually see
So please come back to me
My life isn't the same
Without you here
I'd rather have you over all the fame
To the ground just dropped my tear
Away from you
Is where I hate to be
If you love me too
Then please come back to me
Please come back to me
I miss your crazy mind
I want you to be
Here so you'll find
You'll eventually see
So please come back to me
By now it's almost dark
As far as I can see
Now walkin alone in a park
So please come back to me
Please come back
Please come back
Please come back
I want you here with me
Please come back
Please come back
Please come back
Oh how lonely it can be
Please come back
Please come back
Please come back
Back here with me
Please come back
Please come back
Please come back
Come back and you'll see
So please come back to
Please come back to
Please come back to
Please come back to me
Please come back to
Please come back to
Please come back to
Please come back to me

Pushed One Time To Many
Lying here once again on the ground
After taking yet another long, hard fall
I reach out my hand for any of you to help me
But nobody's there
I try
I struggle
I'm on my hands and knees
I try to push myself back onto my feet
But it's useless
Because you people keep stepping over
Or worse
You keep stepping on me
Why?
Because, none of you care
It's hard getting back on my feet
After a number a low blows and a good hard push
Has left me bleeding here on the concrete
All I hear is
'Don't give up'
'You can do it, just get back up'
But maybe I don't want to get back up
Maybe I'm finally ready to admit defeat
Maybe you've pushed me one times to many
And this time I've finally had enough

One Reason
We had each other
And we never knew how much we had
Hurt one another
till we took the good and turned it bad
But now were so much wiser
And we both know the score
Can we try just once more
Oh baby give me one reason
Why we shouldnt fall in love again
Oh baby give me one reason
Why we couldnt give our all again
If you miss me like I miss you
Oh baby give me one reason
Why we shouldnt fall in love again
Lets make it better
Now that we can see where we went wrong
Get back together
In each others arms we belong
Lets put the past behind us
Weve both had time to heal
So if you feel like I feel
Oh baby give me one reason
Why we shouldnt fall in love again
Oh baby give me one reason
Why we couldnt give our all again
If you miss me like I miss you
Oh baby give me one reason
Why we shouldnt fall in love again
If you need me like I need you
Oh baby thats the one reason
Why we ought to fall in love again
Oh baby give me one reason
Why we shouldnt fall in love again
Oh baby give me one reason
Why we couldnt give our all again
If you miss me like I miss you
Oh baby give me one reason
Why we shouldnt fall in love again

Guilty Partner
Listen to me
I know what Im saying
But lord it dont come easy
To admit that I was wrong
It took me far too long
I counted on you
To give me a reason
Why the sun dont shine in the season
Grey sky surrounded me
Im not some kind of foolish lover
I couldnt take this from no other
Youre not being cool with me
cause I always know youll come back to me
Yes, youll come back to me
cause I always know
What it takes to make you my lover
You once said to me
That I was a cruel man
And you know
That I almost believed you
I was blind, and I couldnt see
You took my sight from me
And all of these words
And all this emotion
Cant explain my hopeless devotion
Or change what had to be
Im not some kind of foolish lover
I couldnt take this from no other
Youre not being cool with me
cause I always know that youll come back to me
Yes, youll come back to me
Yes, youll come back to me
Im not some kind of foolish lover
I couldnt take this from no other
Youre not being cool with me
cause I always know that youll come back to me
Yes, youll come back to me
Im not some kind of foolish lover
I couldnt take this from another
Its no good being cool with me
cause I always know
What it takes to make you my lover

Give me back my good friends;
Give me back my good old days,
When I was just a boy!

Give me back my peace;
Give me back my will-pow’r;

Its christmas time
And Im lonely
Here yknow the living
Aint easy
If you forget
The power to love
I said
Dont give up
Dont give up
If only I could
See you once again
If only to put
My lips against you again
Dont hold back
The power to love
Dont hold back
From the pluck of the lyre
In the arms of desire
It was dry
And a fine day
When we first came ashore
I wasnt really
Sure what I was looking for
Tracks of my mind
Made the tracks of my arms
Seemed a lot more of a curse
To make matters worse
I was lonely for you
So lonely for you
Baby yeah
So lonely
Oh if I should
See you once again
If only to press
My lips to yours
Aaaaah
Dont give up
The power to love
And dont hold back
The power to love
Dont hold back ah yeah
From the pluck of the lyre
In the arms of desire
And the tracks of my mind
Seemed more like a curse baby
Right there and then
I saw or swore I could see
With my own two eyes
Yo lying eyes
Yo lying eyes
Yes right there and then
It made the tracks of my mind
A lot more of a curs
Oh lonely for you
Baby yeah
So lonely for you
Baby yeah
So lonely for you
Baby yeah
And the tracks of my mind
Seemed more like a curse
The tracks of my mind
Seemed more like a curse baby
I was lonely for you
Baby yeah
So lonely for you
Baby yeah
So lonely for you
Baby yeah

Can I go Home Now
I just want to go home,
I want to go there
Where I was loved and cherished
To an extent I couldnt bare.
I want to go back home
To heath town and long ley
Theres nothing left for me here
Just pain cos thats all I see
I want to go back home
Cos I miss it there so much
I need to go back home
I need to get back in touch
Can I go back please
I miss it there a lot
Can I go back now please
The hurting become to much
I need to go back now
Just to stay sane
Thanks for everything
And thanks for all the pain

In Between Days
Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on go on
Just walk away
Your choice is made
Go on go on
And disappear
Go on go on
Away from here
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldnt be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you
Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back come back
Dont walk away
Come back come back
Come back today
Come back come back
Why cant you see
Come back come back
Come back to me
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldnt be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you
