Why Should I 04:27
Loving is not a crime Why should I feel like that? Why should I keep it all built up inside? Opening up to you is hard to do I'm scared and feeling like a fool Especially when I don't know how to say it I don't know how to make it sound good Every time I get a chance I'm falling back on typical song and dance The time it takes to get on up and make it happen Deliberating on my actions Loving is not a crime Why should I feel like that? Why should I keep it all built up inside? Timing is so divine Go too fast you'll wanna stop and live in rewind And think of all the times you could've better played it All the times you could've made it sound good Everybody needs someone and who knows when that chance may ever come The time it takes to get on up and make it happen Deliberating on my actions Loving is not a crime Why should I feel like that? Why should I keep it all built up inside?

Drain-O 04:43
It's got to be easy living this way No responsibility for what you say The nerve that it takes you to justify your wealth Would-be ex-janitor, clean up yourself I consider you dated, should be off the shelf So what's your response to these allegations? You've got to be careful with your reputation The fact is you're a succubus sucking me dry You should have been a leech in your past life These tricks are ridiculous by and by

Jesse 05:23
It's hard to say for sure When the day breaks it seems I'm wanting more And I don't know about you but something tells me you feel it too You could be the one for me I could be the man you want me to be You could be the one, Jesse And I could be the man you want me to be Heart's been tugging at me It seems like a sense of urgency And I don't know where we are but something tells me we're not too far You could be the one for me I could be the man you want me to be You could be the one, Jesse And I could be the man you want me to be

New Bedroom 04:54
Melancholy with the moony smile Sunken eyes and teeth for miles Always laughing that perfect laugh Thought I saw you in a photograph It was in an old issue You didn't know me but I knew you Fantasizing and growing tired Thought I knew you for a while I pictured a life with you decorating our new bedroom It may be selfish of me to expect that indiscretion How could you reject that? It's not ideal, I have to say But there is no other way Look at me, I'm staring down Looking up, I see that frown I ripped the page out not knowing better We could have been so good together I pictured a life with you decorating our new bedroom I believe in astrology You must think a fool of me Pages guide the way my day's gonna go

Look at you standing there twirling your golden hair Waiting for a knight in shining armor What is he waiting for? The girl has so much in store Waiting desperately for him to take her You could play some dominoes Connect Four, Tic-tac-toe Anything to keep your mind at ease Hang tight, it's gonna be a long night It's time to be delivering Hurry now, she's shivering Go and don't be selfish with your love She's longing for the touch of one who means so much Wishing silently to stars above You could travel in a car or on your feet It's not too far She's waiting there, don't let her be alone Hang tight, it's gonna be a long night The stars above are brighter than before....

Working Girl 02:11
She works right across the way And on any given day There won't be a smile to see She's filling the shelves alone Probably wishing it's time to go Begs the question, "Does she notice me?" Closing time has not yet passed I'm hoping that it all goes fast To catch her before she flees Girl is fine without a doubt I'm hoping that it all works out Begs the question, "Does she notice me?" I just want to know I just have to know

That High 06:33
She's lost in a dream where she's having a good time She's looking through me like she sees through my mind Her soul is on fire Getting higher than the sun And when she reaches the top she'll be one All the stars in the sky that she flies by They can't compare to her eyes But when she comes down Her love can't be found And when she touches the ground she'll be done I wanna come but I can't get that high
