1. "Ready Or Not"
(L. Gramm / B. Turgon)
Here I come ready or not
Here I come ready to go
Here I come ready or not
Here I come ready to go
Something that you said goes 'round my head
I know I'm gonna ride tonight
You don't look at me but all I want
To see it's you tonight
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Just a question of time
I said nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Now that I've made up my mind
Here I come ready or not
Here I come ready to go
Here I come ready or not
Here I come ready to go
Girl you got the look as if you wrote the book
But I don't understand
How one girl can be so sure
You've got me in the palm of your hand
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Just a question of time
I said nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Now that I've made up my mind
Here I come ready or not
Here I come ready to go
Here I come ready or not
Here I come ready to go, let's go
(I am ready) here I come ready or not
(When you're ready) here I come ready to go

2. "Heartache"
(L. Gramm / B. Turgon)
Heartache've done nothing but cover me
Heartache don't know when to let me be
Heartache won't learn no lesson in love, woah oh oh oh
Heartache've done nothing but cover me
Heartache don't know when to let me be
Heartache won't learn no lesson in love, woah oh oh oh
I get no reply or tell-tale lie
It's all the same in love
You give me a hard time but I can't deny
It's you I'm thinking of
Oh lonely nights, they've taken their toll
I don't care anymore, I just want you to know
There's a place in my heart, you're a part of my soul
And I can't let go
Heartache've done nothing but cover me
Heartache don't know when to let me be
Heartache won't learn no lesson in love, woah oh oh oh
I know there's a way, I'm sure there's a way
Though it seems we're worlds apart
But if love is the crime, it's yours and it's mine
We're prisoners of our hearts
Oh lonely nights, they've taken their toll
I don't care anymore, I just want you to know
There was nothing to gain, losing passion for pain
But I won't let go
Heartache've done nothing but cover me
Heartache don't know when to let me be
Heartache won't learn no lesson in love, woah oh oh oh
Heartache've done nothing but cover me
Heartache don't know when to let me be
Heartache won't learn no lesson in love, woah oh oh oh
Oh lonely nights, they've taken their toll
I don't care anymore, I just want you to know
There was nothing to gain, losing passion for pain
But I won't let go
Heartache, ooh ooh, nothing but a heartache
Heartache've done nothing but cover me
Heartache don't know when to let me be
Heartache won't learn no lesson in love, woah oh oh oh
Heartache, nothing but a heartache
Heartache, oh ooh, heartache
Heartache've done nothing but cover me
Heartache don't know when to let me be
Heartache won't learn no lesson in love
Heartache've done nothing but cover me

3. "Midnight Blue"
(L. Gramm / B. Turgon)
Ain't got no regrets
And I ain't losin' track of
Which way I'm going
I ain't gonna double back, no
Don't want no misplay
Put on no display
And angel no
But I know my way
Oh yeah, oh oh, oh oh
I used to follow
Yeah, that's true
But my following days are over
Now I just got to follow thru in
I remember what my father said
He said "son, life is simple"
It's either cherry red
Or midnight blue, oh, oh oh, oh oh
Midnight blue, (oh) oh oh, ooh oh, oh oh, oh oh
You were the restless one
And you did not care of that
I was the trouble boy
Lookin' for a double dare
I won't apologize for the
Things I've done and said
But when I win your heart
I'm gonna paint it cherry red
I don't want to talk about it
What you do to me, I can't live without it
And you might think that it's
Much too soon for us to go this far
Into the midnight blue, oh, oh oh, oh oh
It's midnight blue, (oh) oh oh, ooh oh, oh oh, oh oh
The things could be different
But that'd be a shame, 'cause
I'm the one who could feel the sun
Right in the pouring rain
I won't say where and I
Don't know when but
Soon there's gonna come a day, babe
I'll be back again
Yeah, I'll be back for you
Ah ah ah ah, you see I'm saving up my love
Midnight blue, (oh) oh oh, oh oh
Into the midnight blue, (oh) oh oh, oh oh
Another midnight blue, (oh) oh oh, oh oh
Tonight is midnight blue, (woah) oh oh, oh oh, it's midnight blue
Into the midnight blue, (oh) oh, oh oh oh
Midnight blue, oh, oh oh, oh oh
Midnight blue, oh, oh oh oh
Tonight is midnight blue, oh, oh oh, oh oh
Into the midnight blue, oh, oh oh oh

4. "Time"
(L. Gramm / B. Turgon)
There was a girl, she led a life, of a runaway
She didn't dream, she couldn't feel, just had to get away
From everything she knows
Where do you go? Who do you turn to, when you're all alone?
The world is cold, do what you have to
To make it on your own
She needs time to live, time to love
Time to do anything you're thinking of
Take time, time rolls on
There was a boy, he had a dream, he had to get away
A need to see, the other side, of life far away, far away
From the world he knows
The world is hard, but there's a small chance, I know how he feels
To chase a dream, you got to run boy, run boy
You've got to make it real
And take time to live, time to love
Time to do anything you're thinking of
You better take time, time rolls on
You take time to live, time to love
Time to do anything you're thinking of
You better take time, time rolls on
You have been my dream
Do you believe in me?
Then let our hearts be strong
And let go, go, go, go
It takes time to live, time to love
Time to do anything you're thinking of
Take time, ooh ooh time rolls on, time
You take time to live, time to love
Time to do anything you're thinking of
You better take time, ooh ooh time rolls on, time
You need time to live, time to love
Time to do anything you're thinking of
Take time, yeah time rolls on, time
Time to live, time to love
Time to do anything you're thinking of
Take time, time rolls on, time rolls on
Time rolls on, (time rolls on) time rolls on

5. "If I Don't Have You"
(L. Gramm / B. Turgon)
Another lonely day
Watching the blues turn to gray
I never felt so much sorrow
Don't know if I can face tomorrow
Don't know where this love lies
Need to know but I know that that's allright
Feel lost and alone and last
I need to be needed, oh
Not if I don't have you
There's nothing for me tomorrow
Not if I don't have you
Loneliness turns to sorrow
Another lonely day
Watching the blues turn to gray
I never felt so much sorrow
Don't know if I can face tomorrow
Don't let this love die
Like the sun at last daylight
You can't leave love alone
How long would it last, aoh
Not if I don't have you
There's nothing for me tomorrow
Not if I don't have you
Loneliness turns to sorrow
If I don't have you
There's nothing for me tomorrow
Not if I don't have you
No oh ooh, not if I don't have you ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh don't let me down
(Ooh) ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Not if I don't have you

6. "She's Got To Know"
(L. Gramm
She's got to know
Got to know, ooh why
You love her so, tell her why
Show her how you love her hand
She's got to know
Give her reason, show her why
I can't believe, you don't want to see
She's slipping away from you, ooh ooh
Can't you remember, the way you won't her heart
You say it's tearing you apart, you don't say the things you used to
She's got to know
Got to know, ooh why
You love her so, tell her why
Show her how you love her hand
I know this love, is like a raging sea
But she's drifting away, away from you, hey
You'd better think about it, can you do without it?
She's got to know, you don't wanna do
You'd better tell her, oh yeah
I said tell her, oh yeah
Come on tell her, oh yeah
She's got to know
I can't believe, you don't want to see
She won't be hanging around
'Cause she's your woman, and she makes you proud
You feel ten foot tall, strutting 'round this town
But she needs to be seen, seen by your side
Walking hand in hand, with her loving man
You see she dresses up for you, she does her hair for you
And she wears your ring, and it means everything
You better take a look around, at who's looking at your woman
You know they wished they had, the sweet thing that you have
Take my advice, I don't want to say it twice
Don't you let it go, oh ooh no no
You've got to hold her, squeeze her
You know how to please her
Show her the soul of a man
Now if, everything feels right
You'd better tell her tonight
She's gonna love you like no one else can
You'd better tell her, oh yeah
Come on tell her, oh yeah
I said tell her, oh yeah
She's got to know

7. "Arrow Thru Your Heart"
(L. Gramm / B. Turgon)
I can't take her light
She's walking dynamite
We go sin for sin
Sometimes I wish I'd been more careful
She's got her lights on low
I better come on slow
The way she keeps her late night promises
It's all to let me know
She'll put an arrow thru your heart
Yeah an arrow thru your heart
She'll put an arrow thru your heart
Put an arrow thru your heart
Monday, I need her
Tuesday, I need her more
Wednesday, still no answer when
Thursday, I know she's home
She calls late, late Friday night
Whatever's wrong she'll make it right
Saturday, I get my way
But Sunday I need her again
Another arrow thru your heart
An arrow thru your heart
Arrow thru your heart
An arrow thru your heart
Another arrow thru your heart
Yeah an arrow thru your heart, really hit me hard
Arrow thru your heart

8. "Until I Make You Mine"
(L. Gramm / B. Turgon)
I see your face, and I remember when
So much has changed, between now and then
There was a time, you had to make up your mind
The feeling grows, it was born on tears
And kept alive, for all these years
But I won't rest, until I make you mine, all mine
I used to fantasize that you were mine
You tried to hide your feelings, but I'm not blind
I knew it when I looked into your eyes
I've had a thing about you, for a long, long time
Why do I wait? When I know nothing's changed
This love should fade, but it feels the same
I can't believe, that you still think about me
How many times, have I been dreaming of?
Whispering the words, my words of love
I can't believe, that you still dream about me
I used to fantasize that you were mine
You tried to hide your feelings, but I'm not blind
I knew it when I looked into your eyes
I've had a thing about you, for a long, long time
Now I dream, over and over again
The same dream, I'd better stop
I see your face, and I remember when
So much has changed, between now and then
There was a time, you had to make up your mind
I used to fantasize that you were mine
You tried to hide your feelings, but I'm not blind
I knew it when I looked into your eyes
I've had a thing about you, for a long, long time
A long, long time
A long, long time
Mmmm I've loved you for a long, long time

9. "Chain Of Love"
(L. Gramm / B. Turgon)
Can't find, can't find
The words to rescue me
This time, this time
I've got to make you see
You, you were the one
The only one who understands
Do you hear me? Do you know what I need?
You've got to take me as I am
I'm saying it once, I'll say it again
No chain of love on me
Saying it once, and I'll say it again
No chain of love on me
I can't lie, can't lie
My heart will tell me true
You know me, you know me
Better than I think I want you to
Now, I got it alone
A solitary man
This is something I must do for myself
You got to take me as I am
So I'm saying it once, I'll say it again
No chain of love on me
Saying it once, and I'll say it again
No chain of love on me
Take a walk down Lonely Street once more
Take a walk down Lonely Street once more
Take a walk down Lonely Street once more
I'm saying it once, I'll say it again
No chain of love on me
I'm saying it once, and I'll say it again
No chain of love on me
I'm saying it once, and I'll say it again
No chain of love on me
I'm saying it once, and I'll say it again
No chain of love on me
Just take a walk

(L. Gramm)
And you said we were thru
But I already knew
It was over
Now it's all I can do
Just to keep my promise to you
So lover come back
Back to the arms
Of the one who let you down
Need to hold you
I know I'm not an easy man
I'll do anything I can
Just to hold you
Oh oh lover come back, lover come back
Come on home
Lover come back, come back
Come on home
First you said that we'll try
Then you said it's goodbye
If I thought that you might
I would wait here all night
I feel a shadow cross my heart
I hear an echo of your voice
In my mind
And now it's tearing me apart
'Cause I've loved you
For such a long time
So lover come back, come back
Come on home
Lover come back, lover come back
