WHEN YOUR HEART SAYS GO (Eric Baragar, Tim Campbell, Dan Thompson) You’ve been waiting all your life For this moment to arrive. Here it comes You’ve been talking’ in your sleep, Walkin’ in a daze and feeling numb
You’ve been pulling out your hair Bitin’ off you nails, one by one Say goodbye to a girl Say hello to a woman When your heart say go Do you really want to know? When your heart say go Do you really want to know? Did your momma sit your down Did she wanna have a talk heart to heart? Did she say it’s up to you Cause you know it’s hard to stop once you start What will your daddy say When your perfect alibi falls apart Say goodbye to a girl Say hello to a woman When your heart say go Do you really want to know? When your heart say go Do you really want to know?

TURNIN’ ALL THE HEADS (Eric Baragar) You’re turning all the heads You turn my world around You’re turning all the heads You turn me upside down You’re turning all the heads You turn my world around When you’re walkin’ down the street All the heads are turnin’ Everybody wants to meet you Their eyes are burnin’ But I know what you got And I know what you want And I know what you’re tryin’ to do All the boys in the back room say That you’re a teaser But I just smile cause I know That you’re a pleaser ‘Cause I know what it takes And I don’t make mistakes And I know what you’re tryin’ to do You’re turning all the heads You turn my world around You’re turning all the heads You turn me upside down You’re turning all the heads You turn my world around I just I look at you I start to quiver I can hardly wait Till you deliver ‘Cause I know what you got And I know what you want And I know what you’re gonna do You’re turning all the heads You turn my world around You’re turning all the heads You turn me upside down You turn my world around You turn my world around

LOVE IS ALL AROUND (Eric Baragar) I’ve been in and out of love so many times I don’t know if I’m coming or I’m going I try to hide these feelings down deep inside Until you can along I was’t showing Now your love is all around and I’m in love again Your love is all around and I’m in love Yes your love is all around and I’m in love again I’m in love Each new day brings a world so cold and cruel With another uphill battle I can’t win Then you come around and just to see you standin’ there I know - I’m gonna be in live again Now your love is all around and I’m in love again Your love is all around and I’m in love Yes your love is all around and I’m in love again I’m in love
4.
WALK WITH YOU (Tim Campbell) I’d like to stay for a little while Cause I think maybe I could help you smile, baby I’d like to travel down the road with you a ways And see what we can share You just might be amazed at what we find there You know I could settle down If I really tried But somehow it just don’t seem my style Cause you see to the ground I just can’t be tied But if you walk a mile with me I’ll walk with you a mile Now I’m not about to promise anything But if you want to come with me The song that I sing could make you happy So listen to the tune that I’m singing now And if you want to sing along We’ll teach each other how it won’t take long You know I could settle down If I really tried But somehow it just don’t seem my style Cause you see to the ground I just can’t be tied But if you walk a mile with me I’ll walk with you a mile If you walk a mile with me I’ll walk with you a mile
5.
I’M NOT TAKEN (Eric Baragar) I don’t know if I’m in love with you You made it all so clear and now I’m so confused People say that in time I’ll know How the feeling stays but the reason goes Seems to me me that something here is wrong When a love’s cut short, why does it last so long? I don’t know if I can make it right I’ll laugh one day but I’m cryin’ tonight Sorry girl, so sorry girl Sorry girl, so sorry girl But I’m not taken (no no no) I’m not taken (no no no) Don’t be mistaken (no no no) I’m not taken (no no no) I had love but she faded fast Seems first impressions they never last She came back about a week ago My hopes were high, the chips were low Tell all your friends just to let me be And let’s forget about my memory I don’t know if I’m in love with you Cause love is chaos by the golden rule Sorry girl, so sorry girl Sorry girl, so sorry girl But I’m not taken (no no no) I’m not taken (no no no) Don’t be mistaken (no no no) I’m not taken (no no no) You see my heart is breakin’ (no no no) But I’m not taken (no no no) Don’t be mistaken (no no no) But I’m not taken (no no no) I’m not taken (no no no) I’m not taken (no no no) Don’t be mistaken (no no no) I’m not taken (no no no) Can’t you see (no no no) My hands are shakin’ (no no no) But I’m not taken (no no no) You know my heart is breakin’ (no no no) But I’m not taken, no no (no no no) I’m not taken (no no no) I’m not taken (no no no) Don’t be mistaken (no no no) I’m not taken, no! (no no no)

TELL IT LIKE IT IS (Eric Baragar) And it’s you - liar You’re twistin’ all the truth And wrap it ‘round your fingers Till your finger’s in a noose And it’s you - liar You’re caught up in your web You point your finger at me But it points at you instead Why don’t you Tell it like it is Or don’t you tell it at all Tell it like it is Or don’t you tell it at all Tell it at all It was you - liar How can you keep a straight face I finally came to tell you I saw you in that place It was you - liar How can you still deny? That you were miles away When I saw with my own eyes Why don’t you Tell it like it is Or don’t you tell it at all Tell it like it is Or don’t you tell it at all Tell it at all
7.
GET IT ON THE RUN (Eric Baragar) Last time I saw you Made up your mind Had a job waiting in Windsor You took it in time Dressed as a starlet Off a ’32 silver screen The champagne was older Than we’d ever been Ain’t it just like a woman Your work is never done I’m livin’ in Disneyland While you get it on the run Letters I sent you Returned without a change You’re moving like a butterfly Over a flame Screen test advancer Breaks my heart in two With grey haired producers Producing you Ain’t it just like a woman Your work is never done Start out with a walk on Now you get it on the run Run, run, get it on the run Hope the new director Needs a video man I would jump at the chance To see you again If the lens is hazy Special effects Even one act scene too Hard to forget Ain’t it just like a woman Your work is never done Start out with a walk on Now you get it on the run Run, run, get it on the run
8.
FORGIVE AND FORGET (Eric Baragar) Sometimes you make a mistake, it’s forgiven Sometimes you make a mistake that no one can forgive It’s in the way you live That makes makes you feel so bad Sometimes you have a love it's forgotten Sometimes you have a love that you can never forget It’s in your head instead Of in you heart Ah! Baby forgive and forget Ah! Baby it ain’t over yet I only want to make you see What’s happening to me Sometimes you feel you live on a dreamship And then there’s times you feel you’re overboard Lost without a word In a sea of tears Sometimes someone is there to save you All you need is friend to send you down a line Someone to stand beside When you’re going down Ah! Baby forgive and forget Ah! Baby it ain’t over yet I only want to make you see What’s happening to me

ELOISE 03:38
ELOISE (Eric Baragar) Eloise - I’m begging’ you please Eloise - I’m down on my knees I got nowhere to run to And nowhere to hide I’m talking’ to you What good did it do? You told me the lies And say that they’re true You turn it around, round, round Till it was wrong It’s so so sad Now that you’re gone Eloise - I’m begging’ you please Eloise - I’m down on my knees I got nowhere to run to And nowhere to hide You’ve been gone For so long I waited for you Now I’m feelin’ blue I called on the phone, phone, phone But you’re not home I knocked on your door, door, door Till my knuckles were sore Eloise - I’m begging’ you please Eloise - I’m down on my knees I got nowhere to run to And nowhere to hide Eloise - you look so fine Eloise - come on please be mine Eloise - come on hold me tight Eloise - I’ll make you feel alright
10.
MUSICAL CHAIRS (Tim Campbell) Around and around the blind lead the blind Around and around If you don’t get what you want, take what you get On a fast rebound You gotta be quick, the competition is thick You got a place to defend And you can’t put the trust in the smile on the face Of a fair-weather friend When the music stops, you better move fast Or you’ll play at solitaire Cause nice guys finish last at musical chairs Again and again the music is played till it All sound the same Till at last you must ask is your part in the game Really worth the pain? With an ear in the air and an eye on the chair It’s hard to pretend That you don’t know the cost And you don’t feel the loss It’ll leave you in the end When the music stops, you better move fast Or you’ll play at solitaire Cause nice guys finish last at musical chairs Around and around the blind lead the blind Around and around If you don’t get what you want, take what you get On a fast rebound You gotta be tough the competition is rough You got a place to defend And you can’t put the trust in the smile on the face Of a fair-weather friend When the music stops, you better move fast Or you’ll play at solitaire Cause nice guys finish last at musical chairs
