Whatever It Takes Call me at midnight Tell me you're ready to fly to the moon We'll dance in the moonlight I'll make sure the stars are shining Baby just for you That's what I’ll do Chorus To make you happy baby I'll do whatever it takes To see you smiling baby I'll do whatever it takes To hear your laughter darling I'll do whatever it takes Whatever it takes I'll look for a streetlight Set up a stage maybe hire a crew I'll conquer my stage fright And put on a play baby Starring well you know who That's what I’ll do Chorus I'll learn how to tango And play the piano I'll do it so you know That I love you Chorus Chorus (Repeat)

Cross Roads and Ferris Wheels Haunted by the memories Frozen on a summer breeze And dancing on the Devil’s wings Are the things we just can’t have The things we want so bad Chorus Cross roads and Ferris wheels Journeys only time reveals Shadows dancing so surreal In skies of mystery blue And eyes that see right through Illusions of a grand affair Capricious spirits everywhere Running fingers through your hair And whispers so deep and dark Halos around your heart Chorus Time slips away Memories fade to grey And life, well life’s so strange But love, love’s the flame Chorus Chorus (repeat)

What Do Ya (Do Ya Do Ya) Want I caught you staring down my girlfriend's blouse Now I don't know you but you're in my house You better keep your eyes a to yourself Don't want your hands a dusting my shelf Chorus What do ya do ya do ya do ya want What do ya do ya do ya do ya need Don't wanna beg you man I don't wanna plead What do ya do y do ya do ya need You tried to tell me you're a friend of a friend Just wanna borrow what I don't wanna lend But once you start I know you ain't gonna stop You better leave or else I'm calling the cops Chorus Tell me what you want Tell me what you need Tell me what you want Tell me what you need You tried to tell me you're a friend of a friend Just wanna borrow what I don't wanna lend But once you start I know you ain't gonna stop You better leave or else I'm calling the cops Chorus Chorus (repeat)

Easy 02:59
Easy It's a one-way street No return and no retreat Keep an eye on the signs Keep an eye on your feet Ride the merry-go-round Ride it up and ride it down Don’t know how to get off Don’t know why I got on Chorus I'm taking it easy now I'm taking my time I'm taking it easy now I'm living my life It’s a double-edged sword No surrender no reward Keep your eyes on the prize Keep your feet on the floor Ride the merry-go-round Ride it up and ride it down Don’t know how to get off Don’t know why I got on Chorus Chorus Chorus (repeat)
5.
Find a Reason Take your chances win or lose Roll the dice and pay your dues Learn from everything you do Most of all just follow through Chorus Find a reason everyday Let the sun shine through the rain Spread your wings and you'll learn to fly Live your dreams and you'll never die Don't get lost along the way Believe in love and keep your faith If you get taken for a ride Well just take care of what's inside Chorus Chorus Chorus (repeat)
6.
How Many Hearts (Will She Break) Chorus How many hearts will she break How many tears have to fall How many hearts will she break Just one more Maybe just one more Hard to please but still you try To make her laugh until you cry And when the tears come falling down She’s not around She’s leaving town Chorus You call ahead now just because She’s not alone she never was He’s just a friend she'll always say And by the way He’s gonna stay Chorus How many hearts How many hearts Chorus

Home Again 03:20
Home Again So many times I've travelled so far from home Too many miles And miles of lonely road ahead Before I reach your bed When I'm away I carry a photograph Faded and gray It always brings me back again No matter where I am Chorus Your eyes bring me home again Your smile is my only friend Your eyes bring me home again to you Your eyes bring me home again Your smile is my only friend Your eyes bring me home again We had a dream Of living a better life Darling that means Making a sacrifice for love And faith in God above Chorus It's lonely on the road But darling this I know Chorus Chorus (repeat)
8.
I Guess I Should have Told You I guess I should have told you Just how much I love your eyes And I guess I should have kissed you And held you for a while Now I pray there's a chance That someday I can dance With you I've learned to live with sadness And I've learned to live with pain I've tried to understand the madness For the way things might have been Now I pray there's a chance That someday I can dance With you With you You can graduate with honors You can celebrate your life But the only thing that matters Are the ones you leave behind Now I pray there's a chance That someday I can dance With you With you With you I guess I should have told you That I love you

Free 03:04
Free Soon as I could walk I learned to crawl Soon as I could talk I'd heard it all Chorus Now I know the world keeps turning The fires of industry keep burning But deep inside I've got this yearning To be free I went to work for years and years I paid my dues with blood and tears Chorus They say that wisdom comes with age But let me tell you I'm no sage Just a man no longer caged Just a man who's finally learning To be free Chorus Chorus (repeat) I may be old but now I’m learning To be free Free
10.
Sing Me the Blues Sing me the blues But don't make it sad Tell me some news But don't make it bad Chorus Sing me the blues Sing me the blues Sing me the blues Sing me the blues Sing me the blues But don't make me cry Ask me to choose But don't tell me why Chorus Cause nothing makes sense And nobody's true Just sit on that fence What else can you do Chorus
