1. "Only Heaven Knows"
(M. Jones / J. Edwards / T. Thomas)
My intentions are good
My heart's in the right place now
You see I wanna be good to you baby
But sometimes I just don't know how
And the hand of fate
Reaches out once more
And pulls me through that gate, ah
Like one hundred times before
Ooh, there are the nights
When things just work out right
No one could be as close as you and me
Then it all breaks down
And we can't find that common ground
That's not the way, the way it oughta be babe
Oh no
Why do we laugh, why do we cry?
Why do we feel this pain inside?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
In this game of hit and miss
How long can we go on like this?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
But if we threw it all away
It's somethin' we'd regret someday
Oh-ooh, heaven knows
Why do we do these foolish things?
Only heaven knows
My intentions are good
My actions are hard to explain
I get misunderstood, sometimes
There's nobody but me to blame
I've gotta speak my mind
And deal with the situation
Open the lines, yeah
The lines of communication
Ooh, there are the nights
We really get it right
Makin' love, endlessly
And then there are the days
We go our separate ways
It's like there's nothin' left of you and me babe
Woah-ooh no, nothin' left of you and me
Why do we laugh, why do we cry?
Why do we feel this pain inside?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
In this game of hit and miss
How long can we go on like this?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
But if we threw it all away
It's somethin' we'd regret someday
Oh-ooh, heaven knows
Why do we laugh, why do we cry?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
Why do we feel this pain inside?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
But if we threw it all away
It's somethin' we'd regret someday
No woah-ooh woah-ooh oh-ooh
Why do we do these foolish things?
Only heaven knows
Only heaven knows
You see I wanna be good to you baby
Heaven knows
Why do we feel this pain inside?
You see I wanna be good to you baby
Heaven knows, oh yeah
How long, how long, can we go on like this?

Hey
Don't expect me to treat you like a lady

6. "Ready For The Rain"
(J. Edwards / J. Northrup / M. Jones / T. Thomas)
Early in the mornin'
Before the daylight
I hear the sound of thunder
Comin' thru the night
Lie awake and I wonder
Where my life is goin'
Am I on a road leadin' nowhere?
There's no way of knowin', oh no
'Cause I've seen the lightnin'
And I'm ready for the rain to fall
Now I'm standin' on a mountain
Lookin' into the sky
I see the clouds come rollin' in
Water fills my eyes
I don't know what's in the future
No one can say
Don't wanna think about the past
I've gotta live for today
'Cause I've seen the lightnin' now
I need to find my own way
While I've still got time
And I'm ready for the rain to fall
'Cause I've heard the thunder
And I'm ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, ready for the rain
Woah, I've got to rise above it all
And get ready for the rain to fall, woah-oh
I'm ready
Did you ever know someone
Who had lost their way?
Built their own little kingdom
And just blew it all away?
I'm not ashamed to admit it
Oooh, that someone was me
I'm gonna look to the future now
'Cause I've set myself free
And I've seen the lightnin', yeah
I'm gonna set myself free
While I've still got time
Get ready for the rain to fall
'Cause I've heard the thunder now
I'm ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, ready for the rain
Oh, I've got to rise above it all
Get ready for the rain to fall
While I've still got time
Yeah-eah-eah-eh
I'm ready for the rain to fall
'Cause I've seen the lightnin'
I'm ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, ready for the rain
Oh, I've got to rise above it all
And get ready for the rain to fall
While I've still got time
Get ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, (ready for the rain)
Ready for the rain, to fall
Fall down on me, whoaaaaah
I've got to rise above it all
(Ready for the rain to fall) fall
(Fall down on me) ready for the rain to fall
Down on me, down on me
(Oh) ready for the rain to fall

7. "When The Night Comes Down"
(M. Jones / J. Edwards / T. Thomas)
Jimmy got lost
In a schoolboy phase
You see the lines got crossed
At a young and tender age
He dropped out of school, yeah
And with the new crowd he'd meet
He left his broken home
For a new life, out on the streets
See the young boys' laugh
Gettin' high on a midnight run
They've got it all figured out
They don't need no help from anyone, no no
Jimmy never knew real love in his heart, no feelings remain
Somehow he knew he'd never be a part, so alone with his pain
When the night comes down, out there on the streets, so many sad, sad stories
(When the night comes down) and when the night comes down
They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory
They're runnin' in the night, when the night comes down
See the young boy cry
He's cryin' out, all alone
And the hurt inside
He's gotta face it all on his own
And the church bells ring
Woah-oh-oh, and the lord is praised
But they ain't got time for poor Jimmy
On their holy, holy days
Jimmy never felt real love in his heart, no feelings remain
Somehow he knew he'd never be a part, so alone with his pain
When the night comes down, out there on the streets, so many sad, sad stories
(When the night comes down) and when the night comes down
They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory
Just running in the night, when the night comes down
Woah-ooh, it's a cold hearted town
When the night comes down, nothin' but a battleground, yeah-eah
They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory
(Ooh) (when the night comes down) when the night comes down
(Ooh, when the night comes down) when the night comes down
On this battleground, yeah, so many, so many sad, sad stories
Woah-oh, you can see it every night, when the night comes down
See the young boy cry

(M. Jones)
In this world, life can be hard on a sensitive girl
Who do you turn to, when you really need someone?
Don't give in, hold on, and in time
The day will come, and you will know
That your life, has only just begun
And you will feel love, you'll feel the earth meet the heavens above

Put your trust, in me, and believe, when I tell you
I want you, close to me
And from now until the end of time

9. "No Hiding Place"
(M. Jones / J. Edwards / T. Thomas)
Every time I've run away from you
You searched me out and found me
I build a wall, surround myself
But you've found a way around it
Everywhere I go in this wild world
You're just one step behind me
I turn around and there you are
Ready to remind me
Woah, baby let me, let me go
Honey don't you know?
There is no hiding place, nowhere to run, no escape
There is no hiding place, oh no
There is nowhere safe, to disappear without a trace
There is no hiding place
I walked the streets, the whole night long
Tryin' to forget you
I rode the subway end to end
I wish I'd never met you
'Cause you got some kind of hold on me
It's so hard to fire it
I can't get away from you
No matter how I try
Woah, say you let me, let me go
You've got to let me go
'Cause there's no hiding place, nowhere to run, no escape
There is no hiding place, oh no
There is nowhere safe, to disappear without a trace
There is no hiding place, no no no no, no no no
I said, woah, baby let me, let me go
'Cause baby don't you know?
There is no hiding place, nowhere to run, no escape
There is no hiding place, oh-ooh oh-ooh
There is nowhere safe, to disappear without a trace
There is no hiding place
No hiding place, all right
No hiding place
There's nowhere safe
Gotta disappear without a trace
(There is no hiding place) there is no hiding place
Hiding place, baby don't you know?
(You've got to let this poor boy go)
(No hiding place) baby
Nowhere safe, there is no hiding place

It's four o'clock in the mornin'
The daylight's creepin' in
'N' I'm lyin' awake in bed
'N' outside my window
The rain's just pourin' down
'N' there's a pain inside my head, oh yeah

Took some water in my hands
Threw it on my face
But your memory won't fade away
I see you everywhere
Around this empty space, oh no

Missin' my heart but still cuts deep
Nothin' but a flesh wound, woah
And it tore me apart, but I still can't sleep
You know you really did it well
Now I'm lyin' on a bed of nails
It's just a flesh wound, woah
