1. "White Lie"
(L. Gramm / M. Jones)
One little white lie
One white lie, surrounds us
One white lie, won't stop the love
That I feel around us
Darling, do you think about me?
What I feel for you, don't you ever doubt me?
You see the lock on the door
Of this heart, but you hold the key
I need the trust you can give
Is there something that you need from me?
One little white lie
One white lie surronds us
One white lie won't stop the love
That I feel around us
Secrets, and the way we keep them
Between you and me, promise we'll never need them
I can see something so true
No one else, could ever see
And I'll never chance losing you
I believe my heart, I hear what's telling me
One little white lie
One white lie, surronds us
One white lie, won't stop the love
That I feel around us
One little white lie
One white lie, tears us apart
One white lie, won't stop the love
That's waiting in this heart
That's waiting in this heart
Temptation leave us alone
'Cause I know you're always there
But white lies can weigh like stone
And in this world, I hear them everywhere
One little white lie, oh-oooh yeah
One white lie, surronds us
One white lie, won't stop the love
That I feel around us
One little white lie, one lie
One white lie, tears us apart
One white lie, won't stop the love
That's waiting in this heart
That's waiting in this heart
One lie, (one lie)
(One little white lie) one white lie
(One white lie) one little white lie

2. "Rain"
(M. Jones / L. Gramm / B. Turgon)
Brother, always reaching far too high
But I can see the tragic side
And it ain't easy
Hey brother ah-aaah, you won't let anybody help
Why do you sacrifice yourself?
You can't go on this way
Tell me why, oh-oooh why?
Why don't you open up your heart?
Let the light, from inside
Show us who you are
And when it looks like rain
And when the dark clouds fill your sky
There ain't no good reason why
You've gotta feel the pain
Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the sun's gonna shine
Even when it looks like rain
Hey sister, another story must be told
Just count the blessings you still hold
What's done is done
Hey sister, you can find the one you need
Don't have to live the life you lead
Don't be the lonely one
Tell me why, oh-oooh why?
Why don't you open up your heart?
Let the light, from inside
Show us who you are
And when it looks like rain
And when the dark clouds fill your sky
There ain't no good reason why
You've gotta feel the pain
Even when it looks like rain, (rain)
Just hold your head up high
I know the sun's gonna shine
Oooh-oooh, oooh-oooh
Don't get down and don't get washed away, oooh oooh-oooh oooh
Just remind yourself, every day
That into each life, a little rain must fall
So let it rain, rain, (rain), oooh-oooh-oooh oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh
Even when it looks like rain, (rain)
Just hold your head up high
I know the sun's gonna shine
Even when it looks like rain
(Rain) (rain) rain
When it looks like rain

3. "Until The End Of Time"
(M. Jones / L. Gramm / B. Turgon)
When I was young, and the world belonged to me
I thought that love, meant pain and jealousy
It was a cross on my shoulder
Oh Lord, now I feel so much older
Oooh-oooh oooh-oooh oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh oooh-oooh oooh-oooh-oooh
Now, time had a way, of making me see
My lonely life, has taken it's toll on me
Now I feel the emptiness
And I don't want to live like this
Now I've heard stories, I've heard songs
Telling me believe my heart won't wait too long
But words they don't ring true
Until there was you
Never will I lose this heart's desire
Ever will I feed our love's fire
Only when I know that you'll be mine
Until the end of time
How do I trust what I'm beginning to feel?
How deep my soul? How much can I reveal?
I'm lost in love's mystery
I'm caught between time, and eternity
Now there's a door that opens wide
Slowly I will find my way and reach inside
But I couldn't make it through
Until there was you
Never will I lose this heart's desire
Ever will I feed our love's fire
Only when I know that you'll be mine
And only when I see the light of love shine
Until the end of time
Never will I lose this heart's desire
Ever will I feed our love's fire
Only when I know that you'll be mine
And only when I see the light of love shine
Never will I lose this heart's desire
Ever will I feed our love's fire
And when I see the light of love shine
In your eyes, when they meet mine
Only then I'll know it's you and I
Until the end of time

4. "All I Need To Know"
(L. Gramm / M. Jones)
So I walk another mile down this crooked road
Clouds rolling in, Lord it's getting cold
Feeling fine, feeling lost, feeling blue tonight
But my only friend is Mr. Moonlight
Then I see you girl lost in your book of poems
You're in another world, I should leave you alone
My heart races on, I try and hold it back
But like a runaway train, I'm about to jump the tracks
Now you say you need a friend
I swear to you, if that's what you need
That's what I'll be
But I hope this never ends
I feel there's something more the way
You look at me
And that's all I need to know, oooh-oooh-ooooooh
I won't question why, don't need a reason
We can take our time, we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes
That's all I need to know
Now we're talking 'bout angels that have lost their wings
This melancholy world, and the nature of things
But them there's only silence, when your eyes meet mine
Sends a shiver to my soul, runs deeper than time
Reciting from your black book, you were like some wounded bird
I tried to catch your heart, as it fell between your words
You tore out one page, and let it blow away
Then you disappeared into your world, it's a place I just can't stay
You say you need a friend
I swear to you if that's what you need
That's what I'll be
But I hope this never ends
I feel there's something more the way
You look at me
And that's all I need to know, oooh-oooh-ooooooh
I won't question why, don't need a reason
We can take our time, we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes
That's all I need to know
All I need to know, oooh-oooh-ooooooh
I won't question why, don't need a reason
We can take our time, we can take it real slow
But it's right here in my heart
Where it's all I need to know
That's all I need to know, oooh-oooh-ooooooh
I won't question why, don't need a reason
We can take our time, we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes
That's all I need to know
All I need to know, oooh-oooh-ooooooh
I won't question why, don't need a reason
We can take our time, we can take it real slow
But it's right here in my heart
Where it's all I need to know
That's all I need to know
That's all I need to know
That's all I need to know
All I need to know

5. "Running The Risk"
(M. Jones / L. Gramm / J. Jacobs)
Seeing you
Watching you, watching me
I hold back my emotions
I keep them veiled, in secrecy
I can't let go, of this thing we've started
Wasn't looking for love
No conspiracy of broken hearted
I don't know, how far to go
Until I'm gone, gone, gone
I couldn't see the danger
It was just a little taste of temptation
I could not read the silence
That was written on your face
But here comes that feeling again
And there's nothing more I can do, oooh-oooh
I keep running the risk of losing you
There's nothing more I can say, oooh-oooh
I'm still running the risk of you walking away
I'm lost, drowning in a sea of emotion
I've got one simple need
I need you to feel my devotion
I don't know, how far to go
Until I'm gone, yeah gone
It's a complicated picture
I'm all tangled up, in temptation
I couldn't read the silence
That was written on your face
But here comes that feeling again
And there's nothing more I can do, oooh-oooh
I keep running the risk of losing you
There's nothing more I can say, oooh-oooh
I'm still running the risk of you walking away
I'm running the risk of losing you (oooh-oooh)
I'm walking this tightrope, you're my only hope
There's nothing more I can do (oooh-oooh)
I keep running the risk of losing you, losing you
Now there's nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
There's nothing more I can say
I'm still running the risk of you walking away
I'm running the risk of losing you (oooh-oooh)
I'm walking this tightrope, darling, my only hope
There's nothing more I can do (oooh-oooh)
I keep running the risk of losing you
I'm running the risk of losing you
I'm telling you honey, this heart of mine cannot run the risk, of losing you again
I'll do everything, one man can do
I'm still running the risk of losing you

6. "Real World"
(M. Jones / L. Gramm)
Days, times we will remember
When innocence was lost
We let our hearts move on
So many dreams, we thought would last forever
Today it doesn't matter
All those dreams are gone
They are gone, oooh-oooh-ooooooh
Tell me how it feels again
Oh, show me that it's real and then
I'll walk away, from my own reflection
The stranger that I knew
The stranger that was you
And now I face a cold return to sender
A truce but no surrender
A voice that won't ring true
Where are you? Oooh-oooh-ooooooh
I reach over the edge
And throw a penny in the wishing well
It's so deep
That I can tell
That in the real world
There's fewer stars in the sky
And in the real world
You can hear the children cry at night
This is the real world
There is no time, for a life of solitude
Only hunger and survival
In the world we're born into
We're alone, oooh-oooh-ooooooh
And it brings me to my knees
Our father lay me down to sleep
Father please
Pray the lord my soul to keep
Keep us in the real world
Keep us in the real world
Don't have to tell you, in the real world
They'll damn you if you try
In the real world
Let it begin with you and I
Aaah-aaah-aaaaaah
This is the real world
There's fewer stars in the sky
This is the real world
You can hear the children cry at night
Now in the real world
They'll damn you if you try
And in the real world
Let it begin with you and I
Living in the real world
Yeah, living in the real world
Ooooooh oooh-oooh oooh-oooh ooooooh-oooh-ooooooh
Ooooooh ooooooh-oooh ooooooh-ooooooh
Ooooh-oooh ooooooh-oooh
Ooooh-oooh ooooooh-oooh

7. "Big Dog"
(M. Jones / L. Gramm / J. Jacobs / B. Turgon / M. Schulman / S. Gilman)
Big dog, scratching at the door
With this big dog, you won't want to round, no more
My big dog, guiri, bites, hah-huh-grrrrrr
Big dog, growling, grrrrrr
Bad dog, babe, you better keep away
Guiri, guiri, guiri, hah-huh-grrrrrr

8. "Hole In My Soul"
(L. Gramm / M. Jones)
I can feel these four walls around me
I can feel them closing in on me
But I know there's someone out there ready and waiting
For the chance to set me free
Now, I don't want nothing
Ain't looking for no one
You walk into my life
Well I ain't no hopeless romantic
I've gotta listen to my cautious heart
I've been dealing with my illusions of love
I built it up, and then I tear it apart
And I feel this rising suspicion
That my heart will ever rule my mind
Well I'm guilty of love, by my own admission
Come on girl, let me do my time
Hey, when I call you
I need to fill the hole in my soul
(Hey) hey, when I fall through
I need to fill the hole, in my soul
The hole
Don't need no sisters of mercy
They set me off like a loaded gun
Ain't nothing in this world possessing me
Honey you're, the only one
Can't live in this empty sadness
It's more than we can endure
Well wise men say that love is the madness
Come on girl, I say love is the cure
Hey, when I call you
I need to fill the hole in my soul
(Hey) hey, when I fall through
I need to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, without you
I will fall through the hole in my soul
Hey, when I call you
(I need to fill the hole in my soul) I need to fill the hole in my soul, my soul
(Hey) hey, when I fall through
I need to fill the hole in my soul
(Hey) hey, without you
I will fall through the hole in my soul
(Hey) hey, I need you
I need you to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, I want you to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, hey, hey, I need to fill the hole in my soul
The hole, in my, in my soul
The hole, in my soul
Hey, hey, I want to fill the hole in my soul
The hole, in my soul

9. "I Keep Hoping"
(M. Jones / L. Gramm / J. Jacobs)
As I gather my thoughts, with the pieces of my heart
Tell me, how long is forever?
I'm not afraid, and I won't be torn apart
We've had our time together
Now I make my new beginnings
I'll start again at any cost
I've learned a lot from losing you
But I've got nothing if I'm lost
And I keep hoping and I still believe in love
If I wait long enough, I know I'll be strong enough
Yeah, I keep hoping, I believe in faith and trust
I'm gonna find a way, there are better days still ahead of us
(Oooooooh) I keep hoping
Now this candle burns low, it won't last through the night
But I've found peace, I know it's all right
I try to understand, what's been missing in my life
Between the darkness and the daylight
No I'm not expecting miracles
I've got my doubts like any other one
I've learned a lot from losing you
But I've got nothing if I'm lost
And I keep hoping, I still believe in love
If I wait long enough, I know I'll be strong enough
And I keep hoping, (I believe in faith and trust) I believe in faith and trust
There'll be better days, better days, through all our way now, still ahead of us, aaah-aaah
(I keep hoping) I keep hoping, I keep hoping
I keep hoping and praying baby, oooh-oooh-oooh-ooooooh-oooh-oooh
And I still believe in love
I keep hoping, I keep hoping baby, oooh-ooooooh
I'm gonna find a way
(I keep hoping) I keep hoping baby
There are better days, oh, better days
I keep hoping, hoping and praying
And I still believe in love
(I keep hoping) I keep hoping
I keep hoping
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeaaaaah, yeah-eah-eah
(I keep hoping) I keep hoping
Ooo-ooooooh

10. "Under The Gun"
(M. Jones / L. Gramm)
Good girl on a bad day
She needs love in a bad way
Hmmm, victim in a red dress
She won't give no more
And don't take no less
Walking up the west side
She bought a ticket for the long ride
Well she's ripe for the take
But it's no show, late night
Talkin' 'bout no go, red light
When she put on the show
How far will she go?
She says yes when she means no
Under the gun
You can't walk away, you can't run
Hmmm-hmmm, under the gun, yeah
(Yeah-yeah) under the gun
She's got wicked intentions
She'll use less than conventional ways
She'll do things I can't mention
But there are some games
That she just won't play
Walking on the wild side, wild side
She bought a ticket for the long ride, (the wild side)
Yeah she's mine for the take
But it's no show, late night
Talkin' 'bout no go, red light
When she put on the show
How far will she go?
She says yes when she means no
Under the gun, (oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh)
You can't walk away, you can't run
Under the gun, (oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh)
(Yeah-yeah) under the gun
Under the gun, (oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh)
Now, you can't walk away, you can't run
Under the gun, (oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh)
Under the gun
When she put on the show
How far will she go?
She says yes when she means no
Under the gun, (oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh)
You can't walk away, you can't run
Under the gun, (oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh)
(Yeah-yeah) under the gun
Under the gun, (oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh)
You can't walk away, you can't run
Under the gun, (oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh)
Under the gun
Under the gun, (oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh)
Now, you can't walk away, you can't run
Under the gun, (oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh)
Under the gun
Under the gun, (oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh)
You can't walk away
Under the gun, (oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh)
Walk away
Under the gun

11. "Hand On My Heart"
(M. Jones / L. Gramm / B. Turgon)
Rescue me
I can't dream this dream any more, my dream oh my dream
Set me free
I keep holding on
But I don't know what for
All I know
Is that I've breathed your name
For what feels like a lifetime
I can't let go
You're a part of me
And I die each time
I lose a little more of you
And I look for a sign
To give me hope
We'll find a love we once knew
And all I know
Is when we're face to face
When there's no one between us
With one last embrace
We'll let time heal the pain
Keep your hand on my heart, don't let go
I can't see, you're too close to me
Don't leave me in the dark
keep your hand on my heart
Oh please, only you, lonely me
It's not enough, to simply talk about love
As if it were in our control
Now as I struggle with the past
I can't think about the future
When it's so hard to let go
And all I know
Is I still whisper your name
Girl it won't be the last time
As our lives go separate ways
We'll let time heal the pain
Keep your hand on my heart, don't let go
I can't see, you're too close to me
Don't leave me in dark
Keep your hand on my heart
Oh please, only you, lonely me
Keep your hand on my heart, don't let go
I can't see, you're too close to me
Don't leave me in dark
Keep your hand on my heart
Oh please
Keep your hand on my heart, don't let go
I can't see, you're too close to me
Don't leave me in dark
Keep your hand on my heart
Oh please, only you, lonely me
Only you, lonely me
