In and Out of Love Again
words and Music by Rick Paul
I've been glaring at the TV screen, baby
Staring at the walls
Pacing, waiting for the phone to ring, baby
Waiting for your call
If it rings then I can tell you
That we're finally through
Or that I'm still in love with you
In and out of love again
That's the way it's always been with me
Up and down, to and fro
That's the way it always goes
Just wait and see
In and out of love again
That's the way it's always been with me
I've been feeling kind of low since you left me
Reeling from the pain
Grieving, needing to know why you left me
Needing you again
But we've gone as far as we go
That's one thing I know
So why can't I just let you go
In and out of love again
That's the way it's always been with me
Up and down, to and fro
That's the way it always goes
Just wait and see
In and out of love again
That's the way it's always been with me
You'll come back
You always do
You know it's true
But just once I want you to wonder
If I'll be waiting for you
In and out of love again
That's the way it's always been with me
Up and down, to and fro
That's the way it always goes
Just wait and see
In and out of love again
That's the way it's always been with me

Just a Little Kiss
words and music by Rick Paul
I know this is goodnight, girl
And it's time for me to go
But it's so hard to leave when I look in your eyes
There's somethin' that I need to help me say goodbye
Just a little kiss, sweet baby
Is all I need from you, all I want
Just a little squeeze, sugar, sugar
Is all I need from you, all I want
Well, they say an eager man don't stand a chance
And I'll scare you away
I should cast a spell by walkin', not stand here talkin'
But I won't play those games
Just a little kiss, sweet baby
Is all I need from you, all I want
Just a little squeeze, sugar, sugar
Is all I need from you, all I want
If I have to stand on your steps in the cold night air
While some nosy neighbors stare
I'll stay up all night, I won't think twice
'Cause I know it's worth the price for…
Just a little kiss, sweet baby
Is all I need from you, all I want
Just a little squeeze, sugar, sugar
Is all I need from you, all I want
Girl, there's a fire that's burnin' in my heart
And I might just lose control
So don't fight the feelin's that you feel
Lay one on my lips, it's good for your soul
Just a little kiss, sweet baby
Is all I need from you, all I want
Just a little squeeze, sugar, sugar
Is all I need from you, all I want

Here I Go Again
words and music by Rick Paul
Here I go, here I go again
Thinkin' with my heart and not my head
Should have known when she walked in
I'd soon be fallin'
And here I go, here I go again
Hey, who's that across the bar
I can see her sittin' in my car
Ridin' shotgun, her hand on my knee
With those angel eyes and long blonde hair
I just wanna be her teddy bear
I must be starin' 'cause she's all I can see
And...
Here I go, here I go again
Thinkin' with my heart and not my head
Should have known when she walked in
I'd soon be fallin'
And here I go, here I go again
Seems like I've been here before
Told myself, "no more!"
I should be lookin' the other way
But, damn, how can I resist
When I so wanna kiss her lips
Go ahead, bring on the heartache
'Cause...
Here I go, here I go again
Thinkin' with my heart and not my head
Should have known when she walked in
I'd soon be fallin'
And here I go, here I go again
When we're talkin'
I'm fallin'
But she's got no eyes for me
She's amazing
And I'm crazy
Plannin' futures that can never be
Here I go, here I go again
Thinkin' with my heart and not my head
Should have known when she walked in
I'd soon be fallin'
And here I go, here I go again
Here I go, here I go again
Here I go, here I go again

Don't Blame Me
words and music by AGATA and Rick Paul
It's not the same anymore
When I say I love you
They're only words I say
That I no longer feel
It's not the same
The love just isn't real
But don't blame me
I didn't mean to cause you pain
I never dreamed I'd drift away
It was so easy to believe
Loving you was all I needed
And I wanted it to be
Don't blame me
It's not the same anymore
I don't tremble when you kiss me
And I can see my tears
Reflecting in your eyes
Words can't explain
Why the fire dies
Don't blame me
I didn't mean to cause you pain
I never dreamed I'd drift away
It was so easy to believe
Loving you was all I needed
And I wanted it to be
Don't blame me
Why can't we just move on now
We don't need to know who's wrong and right
Let's not fight
Don't...
Don't blame me
I didn't mean to cause you pain
I never dreamed I'd drift away
It was so easy to believe
Loving you was all I needed
And I wanted it to be
Don't blame me
Don't blame me

One Good Reason
words and music by Rick Paul
Your head keeps turning
Every time I look in your eyes
Like I can't help but do
Could it be you're feeling
That the word I know I've got to say
Will break my heart in two
But I can't go on without some sign
Of what I mean to you
If I just had one good reason to stay here
A hundred reasons to go couldn't keep me away
I'd gladly give you a thousand lifetimes
If you'd give me one good reason
One good reason to stay
Perhaps I'm foolish
Leaving when I want to hold you
Every day and night
Maybe you're just nervous
'Cause I know that you've been hurt before
Baby, I'd treat you right
But I need some spark coming from you
Just a glimmer of light
If I just had one good reason to stay here
A hundred reasons to go couldn't keep me away
I'd gladly give you a thousand lifetimes
If you'd give me one good reason
One good reason to stay
Wish I could read your mind
Or hear what your heart is saying
Perhaps I'd find a reason for staying
If I just had one good reason to stay here
A hundred reasons to go couldn't keep me away
I'd gladly give you a thousand lifetimes
If you'd give me one good reason
One good reason to stay

Can't Make Love With Your Memory
words and music by Ray Ducharme, Vic Michener, and Rick Paul
Last night I heard your laughter
On the sultry summer air
I almost turned around to look
But I just didn't dare
'Cause the way the shadows cheat my eyes
I knew I'd see you there
And I can't make love with your memory
I can't hold your shadow tight
The ghost of your love can't comfort me
And my dreams won't see me through this lonely night, oh no
No, I can't make love with your memory
So when I hear you calling
In the whisper of the trees
When I feel the wind caress my skin
Or your kiss on the breeze
I close my eyes like a child in the night
Hiding from fantasies
'Cause I can't make love with your memory
I can't hold your shadow tight
The ghost of your love can't comfort me
And my dreams won't see me through this lonely night, oh no
No, I can't make love with your memory
Your love made a prisoner of my heart
Your kisses left me scarred
It's so hard to miss you, and harder to start over
But I will, oh I will, yes I will
'Cause I can't make love with your memory
I can't hold your shadow tight
The ghost of your love can't comfort me
And my dreams won't see me through this lonely night, oh no
No, I can't make love with your memory
No, I can't make love with your memory

That Kiss
words and music by Laban Johnson and Rick Paul
You've kissed me so many times
I know your moves by heart
But when I'm holding you close
Feels like we're worlds apart
Now there's nothing left to try
I can't read your mind
I'm out of tears to cry
So it's time to say goodbye
That kiss
Will be our last kiss
I don't feel it anymore
There's no passion
In your reaction
Where fire burned before
That kiss
Will be our last kiss
I don't know where we went wrong
I've searched around for clues
But I can't torture myself
I gave my soul to you
So it's time for you to go
I'll be all right alone
But first, please let me know
Are your tears real or for show?
That kiss
Will be our last kiss
I don't feel it anymore
There's no passion
In your reaction
Where fire burned before
That kiss
Will be our last kiss
Now there's nothing left to try
I can't read your mind
I'm out of tears to cry
So it's time to say goodbye
That kiss
Will be our last kiss
I don't feel it anymore
There's no passion
In your reaction
Where fire burned before
That kiss
Will be our last kiss

What Do You Want to Know
words and music by Mary Lou Sudkamp and Rick Paul
What do you want to know
I see questions in your eyes
Ask whatever you want
There's nothin' for me to hide
Nothin' for me to hide
What do you want to know
Do you wonder if my sun shines when you smile
Does my heart beat wildly when you call my name
Will our photos show us old and gray together
Will our love endure if all the world should change
Baby, no need to guess
The answer's simply, "yes"
What do you want to know
I see questions in your eyes
Ask whatever you want
There's nothin' for me to hide
Nothin' for me to hide
What do you want to know
Are my prayers answered every time you hold me
Can I feel your presence in each breath I breathe
Do I tremble when your touch sets me on fire
Will you always be the manna my soul needs
Baby, if this is a test
The answers all are, "yes"
What do you want to know
I see questions in your eyes
Ask whatever you want
There's nothin' for me to hide
Nothin' for me to hide
What do you want to know
I'll tell you everything
My heart's an open book
Whenever you're unsure
Just take another look
What do you want to know
I see questions in your eyes
Ask whatever you want
There's nothin' for me to hide
Nothin' for me to hide
What do you want to know
Baby, I love you so
Is that what you want to know

My One and Only
words and music by Rick Paul
There's gotta be some sweet chemistry
'Cause, girl, it's a total mystery
Why I react to you so helplessly
We tried for a while to just be friends
But it was destiny we'd end up more than friends
And look at us today
You are my one and only
I do believe I'll be forever
Head over heels for you and only you
My one and only
You are my one and only
I do believe I'll be forever
Head over heels for you and only you
My one and only
I wanna see you dressed in white
Wanna be standing by your side
While all your girls look on and your mama cries
And when the preacher says, “do you?”
I'm gonna tell him, “I sure do, oh, yes, I do”
'Cause what else could I say
You are my one and only
I do believe I'll be forever
Head over heels for you and only you
My one and only
You are my one and only
I do believe I'll be forever
Head over heels for you and only you
My one and only
We tried for a while to just be friends
But it was destiny we'd end up more than friends
And look at us today
You are my one and only
I do believe I'll be forever
Head over heels for you and only you
My one and only
You are my one and only
I do believe I'll be forever
Head over heels for you and only you
My one and only
My one and only

Love Holds On (Pop Mix)

Love Holds On
words and music by Rebecca Hanneman and Rick Paul
Love's tender when it's young and when we're lucky
Lingers like a sweet kiss of desire
Blazing as our passions consume us
Rising from the ashes, love is fire
Fear like a phantom tries to chase us
And catch us when we're frail and all alone
We start to lose our grasp on what's important
Forget the thing that we have always known
Love holds on
Fear lets go
Love is steady, love is strong
Love holds on
We sleep under the blanket of commitment
We dream above the clouds of sweet romance
Moving past the sting of old rejections
We give our jaded hearts another chance
Love holds on
Fear lets go
Love is steady, love is strong
Love holds on
Love holds on
Fear lets go
Love is steady, love is strong
Love holds on
Love holds on

Waiting for You
words and music by Rick Paul
(Waiting for you, I've been waiting for you….)
Don't know how to tell you
What I've held here inside
For a lifetime
I wished you both well
Said friendship would survive
But, girl, I lied
Waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
For all of my life
Waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you
Until you finally see
You've been waiting for me
There was always something
That I couldn't say
At the right time
Then some guy would come
Your hero of the day
And you were swept away
Waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
For all of my life
Waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you
Until you finally see
You've been waiting for me
I've tried to lie to myself
And say you're not right for me
I've tried loving somebody else
But there's no other
Baby, can't you see
(Waiting for you, I've been waiting for you…)
Waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
For all of my life
Waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you
Until you finally see
You've been waiting for me…
For all of your life
Waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you
Until you finally see
You've been waiting for me
