1. "Heart Turns To Stone"
(M. Jones / L. Gramm)
The days and nights, you sit around wondering
Where can she be
You hoping that she might appear out of nowhere
But you fail to see
All the hurt inside, the wounded pride
Ooh, what she went through for you
You cheated and lied as her love slowly died
And her heart just broke in two
When she was with you, all along
Behind you, right or wrong
She tried to hold on, hold on
But you went too far, and she's gone
And now it's over, and her heart turns to stone
No time for pity, when her heart turns to stone
She cries a little, as her heart turns to stone
She's that kind of woman, she'll do fine on her own
What you thought was a game, a game you were winning
Wouldn't go your way
Now you've lost what you had, and you're back to beginning
It's the price you have to pay
When she was with you, all along
Behind you, right or wrong
She tried to hold on, hold on
But you went too far, and she's gone
Now it's over, and her heart turns to stone
No time for pity, when her heart turns to stone
She cries a little, as her heart turns to stone
She's that kind of woman, she'll get by on her own
She hides the pain, but her heart turns to stone
No time for pity, when her heart turns to stone
She cries sometimes, as her heart turns to stone
She's that kind of woman, she'll get by on her own
Yeah it's over, and her heart turns to stone
Don't look for pity now, when her heart turns to stone
Listen to her cry, listen to her cry, she's a woman now
Ooh, it's a sad thing to see, to see a heart turned to stone
The heart of a woman, a heart turned to stone

2. "Can't Wait"
(M. Jones / L. Gramm)
I've been on this road a long time
I've been travelling for days
But it seems I'm getting nowhere
I just can't find my way
I've been following directions
But they must be out of date
And I can't, and I can't, and I can't, no I can't
Decide which road to take
See I've got to find my baby
'Cause we need to work things out
I've got to see that woman now
I cannot do without her
You know I can't wait, can't wait another moment
I can't wait, I can't wait another heartbeat
No, I can't wait, I can't wait another moment
I couldn't wait another heartbeat
I can't wait until the midnight
And the nights go on forever
These days I get no sleep...
And I miss her more than ever
Inside where love runs deep...
Oh, I know I'm going to find her
'Cause I'm following this star
And I can't, and I can't, no I can't turn back
Oh lord, I've come so far
And I'll know she'll whisper in my ear
'Bout all the things I've missed
She's got that way about her now
I never could resist
And now I can't wait, can't wait another moment
No, I can't wait, I can't wait another heartbeat
I can't wait, I can't wait another moment
I couldn't wait another heartbeat
I can't wait until the midnight
No, I can't wait, I can't wait another moment
I couldn't wait another heartbeat
I can't wait until the midnight
And now I can't wait
No, no, no, can't wait
No, no, no, I can't wait
No, no, no, (no, no, no) can't wait, no, no
No, no, no, (whooh) I can't wait, can't wait
(I can't wait, no, no) can't wait, can't wait, can't wait
(Whooh) I can't wait, (I can't wait) can't wait
(I can't wait, no, no) can't wait, can't wait, can't wait

3. "Say You Will"
(M. Jones / L. Gramm)
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind tonight
Say you do, say you don't
Wanna be mine
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind this time
Say you will, say you will
Be mine tonight
I can't sleep, I keep dreaming of losing you
I feel so alone in the night, scared to open my eyes
I'm in too deep, I'm in over my head this time
Can't get you out of my mind, no matter how hard I try
So won't you?
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind tonight
Say you will, say you won't
Be my guidelight
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind this time
Say you do, say you do
You wanna be mine
I get the feeling, I've never been here before
'Cause no one I've known's ever moved me the way that you do
And I know this is the real thing, it's all I've been searching for
I put it all on the line, now I'm hoping you feel that way too
And if you do, why don't you?
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind tonight
Say you do, say you don't
Wanna be mine
Now will you?
Say you will, you say you won't
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind this time
Say you will, say you will
You'll be mine tonight
Will you tell me how much I mean to you?
Will you say you always will be true?
I need more than a "come on" sign
So won't you say you will be mine?
Now won't you?
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind tonight
Say you will, say you will
Be my guidelight
Say you will, say you will
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind this time
Say you do, say you do
You wanna be mine
Come on, come on, say you will
Make up your (aaaah-aaaah) mind tonight
Say you will, say you will
Be mine tonight
Be mine tonight
Say you will
Be mine tonight yeah
Say you will
Be mine tonight
Say you will, say you will, say you will
Be mine tonight

6. "Inside Information"
(M. Jones)
...Inside...
...Inside...
...Inside...
...Inside information...
...Inside information...
...Infor, información...
One man to the left
One man to the right
One man in the middle
One man dressed in white
Now, one man in the east
One man from the west
One man in the middle
One man under house arrest, step back
Get hooked on the power
Gotta stay in the game
Be the man of the hour
Gotta make a name for yourself
And the lady waits, so patiently
She waits for the call
She knows, just, what you need
You need inside, information
Information at a very high price
She gives you inside, information
That can change your whole life overnight, in a minute
One man to the left
One man to the right
One man in the middle
Caught in the broad daylight
Just a man on the street
Another face in the crowd
One man on the beat
Wants everything that he's not allowed
And the lady waits, so patiently
She waits for the call
She knows, just, what you need
You need inside, information
She can get it at a very high price
A little inside, information
It can change your whole life overnight
With a little inside, information
You get money, you get power, you get it all
Yeah, but that inside, information
Can leave you waiting for that hammer to fall, let it fall
She gets that inside, information
Information at a very high price
With that inside, information
It's danger with each roll of the dice
You want that inside, information
Take the money, take the power, take it all
Take that inside, information
But get ready 'cause the hammer will fall, it's gonna fall
(Inside information) inside information
(Inside information) inside information
You'd get lies
Is she telling you straight?
Is she telling you straight?
Is she telling you straight?
Whooooh
Check it out, check it out, inside information
Check it out, check it out
Check it out, check it out

7. "The Beat Of My Heart"
(M. Jones / L. Gramm)
Always here, I'll be close to you
But you won't see me
On the street or underground
I'll be there somewhere
You can look around, you can listen out
But you won't find me
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
Oh, I'll be there for you
You've been living in another world
Ever since I met you
Don't wanna treat you like a little girl
I know you better
And the beat of my heart
If you listen closely now
To the beat of my heart
You'll find your way home
The beat of my heart
No, you won't be lonely
Girl I'm here, and I'll always be
There when you need me
Close at hand, never far away
I'll be there for you
You're such a crazy little pretty girl
How could I ever forget you
You tried to take me to another world
But I wouldn't let you
And the beat of my heart
If you listen closely now
The beat of my heart
No, you won't be lonely
The beat of my heart
Better listen to me now
The beat of my heart
Calling you home
Ooh, the beat of my heart
No, you won't be lonely
You've been living in another world
Ever since I met you
Don't wanna treat you like a little girl
I know you better
And the beat of my heart
If you listen closely now
The beat of my heart
No, you won't be lonely
The beat of my heart
Better listen closely now
The beat of my heart
And it's calling you home
Ooh, the beat of my heart
If you listen closely now
To the beat of my heart
You'll find your way, home
Ooooh, the beat of my heart
Ooooh, the beat of my heart
It's calling you home

8. "Face To Face"
(M. Jones / L. Gramm)
We never talk to one another
We just, disagree
I'm the one who runs for cover
And you turn your, back on me
They say nothing's gonna last forever
But some things are worth fighting for
Yeah, well love could bring us back together
But love don't come 'round here no more
The words, unspoken in the night
Locked away in my heart
And I'm feeling out of place
But if love is the key
Let it open the door
So we'll be standing
Face to face, face to face
You never want to see me face to face, think it over
Face to face, face to face
If only it could be just face to face, baby you and me
Face to face
I may be better off without it
I can't go on this way
Time has come to talk about it
This is our judgement day
You know we swore it would last forever
Always felt so sure that it would
But it's looking like it's now or never baby
Time to turn a bad thing into good
The words, that echo in the night
They're fading away
And they're gone without a trace
Now it's up to you and me
Let's open the door
And meet each other
Face to face, face to face
It's time we saw each other face to face, to talk it over
Face to face, face to face
You know it's gotta be just face to face, baby you and me
Face to face
We gotta see each other face to face, and talk about it
Face to face, face to face
I hope it ain't too late to meet face to face, just you and me
Face to face
It's time we saw each other face to face, to talk it over
Face to face, face to face
You know it's gotta be just face to face, baby you and me
Face to face
We gotta see each other face to face, and talk about it
Face to face, face to face
I hope it ain't too late to meet face to face, don't turn your back on me
Face to face
It's time we saw each other face to face, to talk it over
Face to face, face to face
You know it's gotta be just face to face, baby you and me

9. "Out Of The Blue"
(M. Jones / L. Gramm / R. Wills / D. Elliott)
Not a lot of time to think today
It's almost over now
Didn't need it anyway
Guess I knew somehow
I feel love around me
And the feeling grows
As your love surrounds me
How was I to know
Oooh, that straight out of nowhere
You'd come to me
Out of the blue, into my heart
You'd come to me
Out of the blue, into my heart
Never know what life can bring your way
You never learn
Over night, from day to day
Where our love's concerned
And it was so hard to hold on
But I never let go
For so long, so hard to take
How was I to know
Oooh, that right out of nowhere
You'd come to me
Out of the blue, and into my heart
You came to me
Out of the blue, straight to my heart
Oooh girl, it was you
You came out of the blue, into my heart
You came to me
Out of the blue, straight to my heart
Ooooooooh
You came to me
Out of the blue, into my heart, oh yeah
You came to me
Out of the blue, straight to my heart
Oooh girl, it was meant to me
You came out of the blue, into my heart
Oooh oh, oh yeah, yeah
Out of the blue, straight to my heart
You came to me
Out of the blue, and into my heart
You came to me
Out of the blue, straight to my heart

10. "A Night To Remember"
(M. Jones / L. Gramm)
I can't sleep tonight
I won't sleep tomorrow
I'm going deep and tight
I don't need no excuse
I feel mean tonight
One-eyed jacks and aces
Read 'em and weep tonight
I'm gonna let all hell break loose
I want drums like thunder
Gimme guitars that scream
One woman who could shake me
Yeah, be my love machine
I need a love machine
To keep my motor running
Upon the big wide screen
I wanna see it all
Yeah, we'll be lean and mean
We'll be synchronized together
Me and my, love machine
We're gonna do it all
Let me tell you now
I want drums like thunder
Gimme guitars that scream
One woman who can rock me
Yeah, my little love machine
We're gonna make tonight, a night to remember
We're going hard and strong, again and again
Yeah, we're gonna make tonight, a night to remember
Yeah, we're gonna take tonight, right to the end
I need drums like thunder
Gimme guitars that scream
One woman who can rock me
I need a love machine
We gotta make tonight, a night to remember
We're going hard and strong, again and again
Yeah, we're gonna make tonight, a night to remember
Yeah, we're going for a night, a night without end
Ooh, we gotta make tonight, a night to remember
We're going hard and strong, again and again
We're gonna make tonight, a night to remember
Yeah, we're gonna take tonight, right to the end
