And This Is Life (Japanese bonus track)
. . .



Who were you thinkin' bout
Who were you thinkin' about
Who were you thinkin' bout

Were you thinkin' bout me, baby
The first time she touched your hand?
Were you thinkin' bout me, baby
Did you forget you were my man
Were you thinking of me when you removed your ring?
Or did you just think I would not think anything?


Who were you thinkin' about? Who were you thinkin' about?
Who were you thinkin' bout? Who were you thinkin' about?
Who were you thinkin' bout? Who were you thinkin' about?


Were you thinkin' bout me, baby?
Each time you kissed her lips?
Were you thinkin' bout me, baby?
When your hand were on her hips?
Were you thinkin' bout me did she do it like I do?
Did you ever think of anyone but you?


Who were you thinkin' about? Who were you thinkin' about?
Who were you thinkin' bout? Who were you thinkin' about?
Who were you thinkin' bout? Who were you thinkin' about?


Were you thinking I would understand?
And that I was a fool, and that I would never suspect
you were doing wrong?
And tell me did you feel bad? Did it feel good?
Did it feel like you thought it would?
And I would never know?
What were you thinking?


Sure weren't thinkin' bout me


You were thinkin' bout her, baby
You were thinkin' bout you, baby
You weren't thinkin' bout me


Who were you thinkin' bout? Who were you thinkin' about?
Who were you thinkin' bout? Who were you thinkin' about?
Who were you thinkin' bout? Who were you thinkin' about?


Written by Keith Thomas & Phil Galdston

I don't believe what I'm hearin'
You can't impress me by what you show me
Don't think I am goin' through changes
Or you might see me change for the last time

Having a bad day
Better deal with it
If you're playin' games
No time for it
If you're bringin' pain
Gonna run from it
Don't mess up my day


I'm the only one who's responsible
For me havin' fun
And you can't change that


CHORUS:
Happiness is what my life's about
Happiness no I can't do without
Happiness nothing can stop me now
Through ups and downs I'm still happy


Life is as good as I make it
I can't sit while you make it for me
I like those jewels you gave me
But I wanna buy some jewels for myself
To lose the ball and chain
Gotta reach for it
Nothin' comes for free
Gotta reach for it
No I'm not gonna have to depend on you


I'm the only one
Who's responsible
For me having fun
And you can't take my


CHORUS


Written by James Harris III/Terry Lewis/John Smith


. . .



You make my heart go.....
Inside out you send me baby
Round and round your world
Upside down you make me crazy
For your love; it's out of control

Like an evening star
Shining brightly through me
When you look into my eyes
I know we have something
I'm following my heart
Trusting where love will lead
Surrendering my guard
I found security; oh in you
Darling you're the one for me
Tell me that you know


CHORUS:
You make my heart go....
Inside out you send me baby
Round and round your world
Upside down you make me crazy
For your love; it's out of control
Like a fairy tale
You kissed life into me
You cast away my fears
Finally I'm free
Anyone can see I'm crazy for you
You're everything I need
You're all I want to do
It's true loving you is magical
Tell me that you know


CHORUS


And my heart goes
Inside and out
And my heart feels
I'm losin control
Cause my heart knows
The only one for me, baby can't you see
And my heart goes
You turn me round and round
Cause my heart knows
Baby don't you know


CHORUS


(Ad-lib)(Oh baby; so in love)
(You make my heart go; you know it's for your love)


Written by J. Dean/Joyce Dean


. . .



A little more giving
A little less take
A little more time
To bend so we don't break
A little less anger
A little less pain
A little more love
Could surely stop the rain

If you asked me if I thought
That you loved me I'd say I know it
But sometimes I need you to show it
So baby


CHORUS
Kiss me when you get out of bed
Say the words that never get said
Loving me should always be
The first thing on your mind
Tell me what I already know
Hold me like you'll never let go
Loving me should always be
The first thing on your mind


A little more laughter
A little less tears
A little more compromise
To see us through the years
A dream in the making
A place of our own
A little more give and take
Will make a happy home


If you asked me if I thought
That you loved me I'd say I know it
But sometimes I need you to show it
So baby


CHORUS


Written by Antonina Armato/Kenny LaMar McGowan/K. Miller


. . .



Someone asked me, about you
Asked me if this was love, are we serious
I kindly replied that I loved you
Don't know if I should be falling again

There's a part of me, still in misery
Though I know I got to move on
I'm scared of commitment
I'm scared of what could go wrong


CHORUS
'Cause if I love again, I could lose again
That's the chance that I'm gonna take
I can't be wrong again
Baby, 'cause I'm crazy 'bout you


It's gonna take me just a moment
To take this all the way it feels kind of strange
So what could you do to assure me
That you won't go astray and hurt me some day


So no promises, don't want roses
I've already heard every lie
And I ain't in no hurry
and I hope you're not wasting my time
'Cause if I love again, I could lose again
That's a chance that my heart could break
Hate to be wrong again
Baby, 'cause I'm crazy 'bout you


If I hurt again and I cry again
That's a chance that I'm gonna take
I can't be wrong again
Baby, 'cause I'm crazy 'bout you


Starting over
Takes me under
I need your shoulder
When I can't bear this pain
I need your love
To help me make it alright
Don't need no one
Runnin' in and out of my life


CHORUS
If I love again, and I cry again
That's the chance that I'm gonna take
I can't be wrong again
Baby, 'cause I'm crazy 'bout you


Written by Daryl Simmons


. . .



Never thought that it would be this way without you
It's taking all I have just to live day to day
My heart aches for you I can't believe we're through,
Oh baby, I miss you

CHORUS:
I'm lost, lost without you baby
The days aren't the same the nights are cold and gray
I need you in my life
If not now, then someday


As I think about the times we've shared together
The way I feel for you I know I'll never feel again
Memories of loving you still linger in my head
Oh baby, I miss you


CHORUS


There's a feeling deep inside of me
That just won't let you go
And the more I try to fight it
The more it seems to show...can't let you go


CHORUS 2X


Written by Adrian Johnson Ross


. . .



I've been searching a long time
For someone exactly like you
I've been travelin' all around the world
Waiting for you to come through

Someone like you makes it all worthwhile
Someone like you keeps me satisfied
Someone exactly like you


I've been travelin' a hard road baby
Lookin' for someone exactly like you now
I've been carryin' a heavy load
Waiting for the light to come shinin' through


Someone like you makes it all worthwhile
Someone like you keeps me satisfied
Someone exactly like you, Someone exactly like you


I've been doin' some soul searchin'
To find out where you're at
I've been up and down the highway
In all kinds of foreign lands
I've been all around the world
Marchin' to the beat of a different drum
But just lately I've realized
Baby the best is yet to come


Someone like you makes it all worthwhile
Someone like you keeps me satisfied
Someone exactly like you makes it all worthwhile
Someone like you keeps me satisfied
Someone exactly like you


Written by Van Morrison


. . .



Suddenly there's meaning
To all my hoping and dreaming
And joy I have never felt before
Suddenly there's a reason
Something I can believe in
And finally I know what my heart is for

This is the easiest thing to do
Yes the easiest thing to do
It's as simple and natural as
Breathing out and breathing in
Yes the easiest thing is loving you


Suddenly I'm weightless
Feel I could fly or walk on
With my feet never touching the ground
And I know I'm not crazy
And now I know I'm not sleeping
No the searching is over
And baby I've found


This is the easiest thing to do
It's the easiest thing to do
It's as simple and as natural as
Breathing out and breathing in
Yes the easiest thing is loving you


Suddenly the sadness is gone
And I don't have to tell myself
To struggle through
To carry on


This is the easiest thing to do
It's the easiest thing to do
It's as simple and as natural as
Breathing out and breathing in
Yes the easiest thing is loving you
Yes the easiest thing is loving you
Yes the easiest thing is loving you


Written by Stephanie Lewis & Rob Mathes


. . .



I've never felt this way before
There's nothing else I could want more
Than something real, only passion can reveal

With body and soul, I'm used to controlling
every, everything
Now, I can let go, let down my guard
And we'll see how far this love can go


CHORUS:
I surrender my heart, I'm giving up
And I don't wanna fight, I just wanna love
I surrender it all, I'm giving in
To the power of love - surrender


This feels too god, can't bring me down
Feels like I could never touch the ground
And how I've waited, truer love anticipated

With body and mind, I know that there's time
for every, everything
Now I can let go, let down my guard
And how I've waited, truer love anticipated


CHORUS


With body and soul, I'm used to controlling
every, everything
Now, I can let go, let down my guard
And we'll see how far this love can go


CHORUS


Written by Barry J. Eastmond and Seidah Garrett


. . .



It's wintertime in the middle of the spring
I can't believe it, loneliness is calling me
And I can hear it
See I never thought I'd feel this way
So soon, no...
There is something that I know I have to do

Start again
And this time I'll make it better than before
I start again
For the second time around
I'll do much more, yeah...
Cause I refuse to let life end
I'll pick the pieces up
And start again, yeah


Other roads, yeah
Oh this time I must be careful
When I choose them
See love was for the taking
But I refused it
I never thought
It cut so deep inside me
Oh no...
There is something
That I know I have to do


I start again
And this time I'll make it better than before, yeah
I start again
For the second time around
I'll do much more, yeah
Cause I refuse to let life end
I'll pick the pieces up
And start again


I can't seem to think
Of nothing better I can do


But start again


This time I'll make it better than before
Start again
For the second time around
I'll do much more, yeah...
Cause I refuse to let life end
I'll pick the pieces up
And start again


Written by R. Kelly

And if I ever fall in love again
I'll try to let my heart be free
Cause I know how it feels to be alone
Still trapped in old memories
And if I ever fall in love again
I'll search to find a love that's true
I need a lover who will share my life
And help make my love renewed

I'm not lost I've been here before
But everything has changed
No need to cry just dry my eyes
And let my heart show me the way


CHORUS:
Send me someone to love and I'll be on my way
'Cause I need someone to love
Forever and always


And if I ever love again
I know you'll be my lover and friend
And if I ever hold you in my arms
No nothing could tear us apart
And if I ever wanna hear you say
Darlin' I love you to me everyday
The only way to know our love is right
It must pass the test of time


CHORUS


I'm not lost I've been here before
But everything has changed
No need to cry just dry my eyes
And let my heart show me the way


CHORUS

And if I ever fall in love


Written by James Harris III and Terry Lewis


. . .



In our time of trouble
We only had ourselves
Nobody else
No one was there to save us
We had to save ourselves

And when the storms came through
They found me and you
Back together
And when the sun would shine
It was yours and mine
Yours and mine forever


CHORUS:
Oh how the years go by
Oh how the love brings tears to my eyes
All through the changes, the soul never dies
We fight, we laugh, we cry
As the years go by


There were times we stumbled
They thought they had us down
We came around
How we rolled and rambled
We got lost and we got found
Now we're back on solid ground


We took everything
All our times would bring
In this world of danger
'Cause when your heart is strong
You know you're not alone
In this world of strangers


CHORUS

If we lose our way
Any night or day
Well, we'll always be
I'm there for you
And I know you're there for me


As the years go by
You know you're not alone
In this world of strangers


CHORUS 2X


Written by Simon Climie & Will Jennings


. . .



I have felt winter snow
Melting as it touches my skin
I have cried heartaches tears
As summer came shuffling in
I've run barefoot across moonlit sand
Found friendship where I thought they'd
never understand
Held a newborn baby in these hands

CHORUS:
And this is life these precious moments
And this is life these sad goodbyes
And this is life this roller coaster
These days of grace this surprise
And this is life


I have hoped, I have prayed
Wished upon a falling star
I have found secret strength
Hidden inside my heart
Oh I guess that this will always be
A winding journey to an end I cannot see
But here I am caught up in this mystery


CHORUS

And love has made me bluer than
The wildest morning sky
And love has lifted me until
I thought that I could fly


CHORUS 2X

And this is life
This is life
And this is life
