Baby, Say Yes
Words and music by Holly Tucker
I see you starin’ at me across the room
I tell my girls, “Wow, he’s cute!”
I shimmy over to you and ask you out Baby, say yes
You smile and I melt and somethin’ in my heart
Awakens and shines with the light of the morning star
And somehow, I know without a doubt Baby, say yes
Baby, say yes without inhibitions
Let’s start up our dreams with the key in the ignition
No one to tell us where or when
Out on the open road and we won’t turn back again
Sparks flyin’ every which way or where
We don’t know why, but we just don’t care
As long as we’re together, side by side
Sit back and relax and enjoy the ride Baby, say yes
Tonight, let’s dance in the pourin’ rain
With your arms wrapped around me we can fly away
And if we fall in love, it ain’t no sin Baby, say yes
I look at the ground then I look up at you
Before I know it, you’re kissin’ me under the moon
And then I smile and I say, “Honey, kiss me again!” Baby, say yes
I love you, and you love me
Those three little words explain it perfectly
From that day we met, we knew we’d always be together
So now let’s place all our bets on forever
Baby, say yes
- One click
One
Words and music by Chris Wommack
Chorus
All it took was one look, one kiss to know love never felt like this
I’m running out of breath and barely holding on
All it took was one smile, one touch to know it never meant this much
I’m giving you my heart and all I got is one
Verse
I think they call it paradise, that feeling when the feeling’s right
I know you feel it too, I see it in your eyes
It wasn’t what you planned, but what a great surprise
Chorus
Verse
Now ain’t it sad when love goes wrong
And what you thought you had is gone
It messes with your mind, and makes you wanna cry
You give it all you got, and still you wonder why
Chorus
All it took was one slip, one fall to realize you’ve lost it all
I’m running out of breath and barely holding on
All it took was one look, one word
To make you see how much love hurts
You went and broke my heart and all I got is one
Tag
You went and broke my heart and all I got is one
- Twice as Strong click
Twice as Strong
Words and music by Holly Tucker
Verse
It started when I was just eight years old
And I was sittin’ on the hood of my daddy’s old Ford
Talkin’ to him about third grade and the cooties the boys had
I said “Daddy, don’t you know what they did to me?
They were pickin’ out players for dodgeball teams
And I wanted to play, but because I’m a girl, they left me out!”
Well I was crushed, so I just walked away
And when they lost I said, that’s a cryin’ shame
Chorus
Life ain’t always made up of rainbows and sunshine
You take the bad and ugly along with the good times
You may be so far down, can’t get up off the ground
But you won’t be there for long
And you’ll get up twice as strong
Verse
Well seven years later I turned fifteen
Hard-headed, knew everything, so naïve
Couldn’t wait for Prince Charming to rescue me from this little town
I thought that I found him, man, was I wrong
I fell so in love that I gave him my heart
And then he threw it away like it meant nothing at all
I was crushed, it was all just a game
He came crawling back, I said, honey, that’s a cryin’ shame
Chorus
Chorus
- The Staying Kind click
The Staying Kind
Words and music by Steve Maynard
Verse
Lately, I’m feeling you’re thinking something I’m thinking, too
No way of knowing where this is going, but I’ll follow you
Can’t help but wonder how serious you are in love
But there’s something that you should know
Chorus
I’m looking for the staying kind, don’t want another lonely night Too many lovers give their hearts and then take it back
If you’re gonna love me, baby, don’t love me like that
Verse
If you’re believing love can be lasting, and you’re searching for
Someone with a promise to share all your dreams with and never let go I can’t give in to a heart that don’t know what it wants
Be sure you want it this way
Chorus
Tag
Too many lovers give their hearts and then take it back
If you’re gonna love me, baby, don’t love me like that
- Love Is What She Likes click
Love Is What She Likes
Words and music by Chris Wommack
La la la…
Verse
You could give her diamond rings, fill her head with crazy dreams
But love, love is what she likes
Buy her lots of fancy clothes, but they won’t warm her
When she’s cold like love, love is what she likes
Chorus
Love that holds two hearts together
The kind of love that lasts forever
Love, oh love is what she likes
Love that sees the storm clouds coming
And yet keeps holding on like nothing
Love, yeah love is what she likes
La la la…
Verse
Make her promises, but please, none you don’t intend to keep
‘Cause love, love is what she likes
Take her dancing just for fun, hold her close
And when the dancing’s done, love is what she likes
Chorus
Bridge
Tell her, let it show; little things to let her know
Chorus
Your love will hold two hearts together
It’s the kinda love that lasts forever
Love, yeah love is what she likes
Love that sees the storm clouds coming
And yet keeps holding on like nothing
Love, yeah love is what she likes
La la la…
- That’s Why I Love You click
That’s Why I Love You
Words and music by Steve Maynard
Verse
A pretty smile when I wake up with understanding eyes
A constant light that guides me, day and night
A healing touch when I need a friend and a warm embrace
A gift of love, a product of God’s sweet grace
Someone who knows exactly what I need before I even say
Chorus
That’s why I love you, that’s why I need you
That’s why every day I thank my God for you
When hope is a distant shore, and I’m reaching for the sand
You’re by my side, baby, that’s why I love you
Verse
Strong in love and weak in hate, always compromise
Someone who overlooks all my foolish pride
Tender words that comfort me when there’s none left to say
A ray of hope when I have lost my way
An answer to a prayer I said before you even came along
Chorus
Tag
When hope is a distant shore, and I’m reaching for the sand
You’re by my side, baby, that’s why I love you
- Unbreakable click
Unbreakable
Words and music by Holly Tucker
Verse
I first noticed you when I saw you picking that old guitar
At the time you had no clue,
But you were strumming your way right into my heart
I didn’t even stand a chance
From the moment that you shot me that first glance
Chorus
You’ve got me right where you want me
And it’s too late to turn back now
I’m in too far, I’ve sunk too deep
Ain’t no chance of getting out
The one shot I get is irreplaceable
The risk involved is unmistakable
But I’m giving you my heart like it’s unbreakable
Verse
Since I met you, life has been so beautiful
The sun shines endlessly, and I’ve never seen a sky so blue
You’re a charmer, that’s for sure
All I want, all I need, and so much more
Chorus
Bridge
I’m scared of what I’m feeling, it’s the start of something new
I usually run, but this time, I don’t want to
Chorus
- You Could’ve Had Me click
You Could’ve Had Me
Words and music by Holly Tucker
In the whole wide world, my paradise
Is here in your arms, and it feels so right
The way you laugh, the way you look at me
Your face is burned into my memory
The music of your heart beating with mine
This is the way it’s supposed to be
I want you to know
How deep, how far my love would go
And I want you to see
How much you mean to me
I’ve prayed, I’ve cried, I just don’t know why
You chose her when you could’ve had me
You tell me you didn’t know it was possible
That in your old baseball cap, I’m still beautiful
And I bet you think that I don’t notice
Your little sideways glance and the smile on your lips
When you’re with her, you act like nothing’s wrong
But we both know you’re thinking of me
Don’t you know every time you kiss her
I’m wishing I could take her place
And don’t you know every time she hurts you
I feel it like it’s my own pain
Maybe someday you just might know
How deep, how far my love could go
And maybe one day you just might see
How much you mean to me
I’ve prayed, I’ve cried, baby, please tell me why
You chose her when you could’ve had me
- Don’t Talk To Me click
Don’t Talk To Me
Words and music by Chris Wommack
Verse
I was doing just fine before we met, living my life with no regret
Hoping that love would come my way
If I had to wait, well, that’s okay
Then you came along and brought romance
I was sure that this was my best chance
But I got too close to the fire and I got burned
Chorus
Don’t talk to me, don’t speak my name
Don’t tell me that you care when you’re the one who caused the pain
Don’t say a word, just walk on by
Don’t look at me at all if you can’t look me in the eye
Don’t talk to me
Verse
Why should I believe a single word you say?
You don’t need to know if I’m okay
I don’t want to know if you’ve moved on
I just know I’m better now you’re gone
I’ve heard people say that love is blind
Sure hope I remember that next time
Whatever I saw in you, I don’t see anymore
Chorus
Bridge
There’s nothing left to say, nothing I wanna hear anyway
- Something About You click
Something About You
Words and music by Steve Maynard
Verse
I’ve always been good at saying how I feel,
I never have to think about it twice
I’ve never been at a loss for words
I say exactly what’s on my mind
but you sure threw me when you asked me what it is
That makes me love you like I do
Chorus
There’s just something about you that makes me feel the way I do
It’s hard to describe it, but I see it in your eyes
And every time you look at me, I know I’m where I’m supposed to be You’re not like anyone I’ve ever met
There’s just something about you that makes you something else
Verse
Maybe it’s the way you always think of others
Even when you don’t have what you need
Or maybe it’s because you don’t think you’re so special
But you’ll always be wonderful to me
You think that you’re just an ordinary person
But when I look at you, I disagree
Chorus
Bridge
It’s so easy loving you, it’s like breathing, all I have to do
Is hold you close and look into your eyes
Chorus
- The Closest I’ve Ever Been click
The Closest I’ve Ever Been
Words and music by Chris Wommack
Verse
I get the shakes when he walks into the room
That’s all it takes, and my head begins to swoon
My hands get sweaty, my throat goes dry
I think I’m ready to give it a try
Chorus
I’m in love, or at least that’s what I think I’m in
And if it’s not, it’s the closest I’ve ever been
I’m all shook up, take a look at what a mess I’m in
Boy, if this ain’t love, it’s the closest I’ve ever been
Verse
He winks his eye, and I can hardly speak
I wonder why my knees are getting weak
My heart is reeling, but I can’t quit
I’ve got a feeling that this is it
Chorus
Bridge
I call him honey, he calls me baby
He thinks it’s funny, but I’m thinking maybe
Chorus
Boy, if this ain’t love, it’s the closest I’ve ever been
Closest I’ve ever been
Closest I’ve ever been
- God Don’t Make Mistakes click
God Don’t Make Mistakes
Words and music by Hillary Lindsey and Angelo Thomas Petraglia
Verse
It was one of those days when she couldn't find
A single ray of sunshine
And there wasn't even a cloud up in the sky
After thirteen years at the factory
They said sorry ma'am but we're downsizing
That’s the way life is; good luck with the rest of it
She looked me in the eye
And said this ain't the first time I've taken the fall
But let me tell you girl what's gotten me through
Is keepin' faith through it all; ‘Cause there’ll be
Chorus
Dead ends and road blocks, tough times and hard knocks
Seems like you're always wonderin' why
You're at the right place at the wrong time
Wheels movin' but you feel stuck
Like you're life's spinnin' in a big mud
When you're out there running around on a wild goose chase
There's a reason to keep believin', God don't make mistakes
Verse
Everybody said you gotta give it up
You can't keep that child it’s just too tough at seventeen
You're just a baby
Well she cried and she prayed and made up her mind
Said this beautiful life that's growing inside
Needs a chance to have a hand in Gods plan
And everyone told her they'd never get by, he just turned sixteen
He made it straight to the top of his class
The captain of the football team, yeah, there’ll be
Chorus 2x’s

She's Touched In The Heart click
She’s Touched in the Heart
Words and music by Chris Wommack
You oughtta see her every night at the Crazy Jane
Waitin’ around for some stud, she don’t know his name
And she’s all a twitter, and everyone with her knows the score
She checks her watch wonderin’ when will he hit the door
It’s been this way since she saw him the week before
And she’s going crazy, ‘cause everyone says he’s hers for sure
She’s touched in the heart and she’s actin’ funny
Head over heels and I’ll betcha money
She’ll be fallin’ in love too fast if she’s not too smart
She’s touched in the heart, make no doubt about it
Lookin’ for love and she won’t leave without it
So she’s doin’ the best she can just to play her part
She’s touched in the heart
Look at the way he tips his hat as he passes by
She’s sure that she’s the only woman to catch his eye
Her heart’s beatin’ faster; is he gonna ask her for a dance
She smiles a smile that could stop the moon up in the sky
This is the moment she’s been waitin’ for all night
The music is playin’ and she’s softly prayin’ for romance

Feather Pillow
Words and music by Chris Wommack
I wanna be your feather pillow
A place for you to lay your head
A sweet companion for you dreams and goodnight kisses
Laying softly on your bed
I wanna be, I wanna be your feather pillow
I wanna be the earth you walk on
A firm foundation for your feet
A path that leads you to true love and understanding
Where our souls alone can meet
I wanna be, I wanna be
The earth you walk on
To live beside you every day
And be there if you lose your way
To listen to you when you say what’s on your mind
And in your heart
I wanna be the sky you live in
When soaring high above the storm
A vast expanse for all your hopes and your ambitions
A blazing sun to keep you warm
I wanna be, I wanna be the sky you live in
I wanna be your feather pillow
A place for you to lay your head
A sweet companion for your dreams and goodnight kisses
Laying softly on your bed
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be, I wanna be your feather pillow

Tellin’ You
Words and music by Chris Wommack
I told my mama when I was five
I told my dad when he let me drive
I told my Sunday School teacher, too
And now I’m tellin’ you
I love you, I love you
Can’t say it any better and somethin’ tells me that forever
I’ll still be tellin’ you
I told the neighbor boy when I was twelve
Sometimes I even have to tell myself
But that’s just somethin’ that I oughtta do
Right now, I’m tellin’ you
I told Jesus when I got saved
I told my teacher in the second grade
So I ain’t sayin’ that it’s somethin’ new
But now, I’m tellin’ you

It’s About Time
Words and music by Chris Wommack
How long’s it gonna take from the day my heart was broken
To the time when I start livin’ again
Days or months or years ‘til I wake up in the mornin’
And I don’t think about what might have been
In my heart, I know that someday I’ll be fine
But if my heart could only read what’s on my mind
It’s about thinkin’ and hopin’ and wishin’ and dreamin’
That everything will be alright
It’s about waitin’ and wonderin’ and cryin’ and schemin’
Just to make it through the night
It’s not about you anymore
It’s about time
How long’s it gonna take ‘til the smell of mornin’ coffee
Doesn’t make me think of you and that smile
Once upon a time, I could shake these feelings off me
And go on with what was left of my life
In my heart, I know that someday I’ll be fine
But if my heart could only read what’s on my mind

That First Second Glance
Words and music by Chris Wommack
Let me take us back to that night at Joe’s
You were comin’ in and I was about to go
I saw you standin’ there
Then I looked again and I declare
I heard music, I felt goofy, there was magic goin’ through me
If I ever wondered how we got this far
It was anything but chance
It was that first second glance
I guess time stood still for an hour or two
I know I sure did just takin’ a gaze at you
I thank my lucky stars
You were standin’ there the way you are
You and me together wrapped up in a perfect love
Ain’t been nothin’ better since God made Eve
And that boy she couldn’t keep her eyes off of

I Can’t Concentrate
Words and music by Chris Wommack
My friends keep tellin’ me to get my act together
But I’m not actin’, I could think of you forever
I can’t remember what it’s like to spend a minute
Of a single hour of a single day without you in it
Your walk, your talk, your style, that smile, your way of thinkin’
It took one look to call it all to my attention
Everything I do, I think of you
I’m in an awful state
I can’t concentrate
I can’t concentrate
I need to focus, put these thoughts of you behind me
But everywhere I look, there’s somethin’ to remind me
The simplest thing takes me forever to get to it
I keep tryin’ hard to think of somethin’ else, but I can’t do it
Your walk, your talk, your style, that smile, your way of thinkin’
It took one look to call it all to my attention
Everything I do, I think of you
Some things will have to wait
I can’t concentrate
I can’t concentrate
Okay, let’s see, where was I, what was I about to do?
I can’t remember, so I’ll just sit here and think about you
Your walk, your talk, your style, that smile, your way of thinkin’
It took one look to call it all to my attention
Everything I do, I think of you
I’m in an awful state
I can’t concentrate
I can’t concentrate
Your walk, your talk
Your style, that smile
Everything I do, I think of you
I’m in an awful state
I can’t concentrate
I can’t concentrate
Your walk, your talk
Your style, that smile
Get my act together
I could think of you forever
I can’t concentrate

Even Higher
Words and music by Chris Wommack
My daddy told me I could do anything
Ride a rocket to the moon, sing a country western tune
I still believe in every possibility
‘Cause he told me I could be anything I want to be.
Babe, it’s a great big world
Get out and go for it, girl
You can reach even higher than your dreams
Live everyday to the extreme
Find your place, go out and chase your heart’s desire
There ain’t no river you can’t cross
Step out and show the world who’s boss
Reach for the stars; chances are you could shine even brighter
Pick any mountain you can find, and climb even higher.
With any luck I could be president
Or the person of the year, ride a bull or rope a steer
Be on the cover of a fashion magazine,
Steal some handsome fella’s heart; hitch my wagon to a star
Dad, it’s a great big world, I’m gonna give it a whirl.
And reach even higher than my dreams
Live everyday to the extreme
Find my place, go out and chase my heart’s desire
There ain’t no river I can’t cross
Step out and show the world who’s boss
Reach for the stars; chances are I could shine even brighter
Pick any mountain I can find, and climb even higher.
Whatever happens I’m gonna be my best.
Do what I can and let God do the rest.

Take it Like a Man
Words and music by Chris Wommack
It’s time for you to quit callin’, cryin’
Beggin’ me to come back home
It’s time for me to be truckin’, movin’
Headin’ on down the road
So get on with yourself and get over me
Take a lesson from our past and baby, let it be
Take it like a man, get up on your feet,
Can’t you understand, it’s over between you and me
I’ve done every little thing I can
Come on boy, take it like a man
I think I’ll head out to Dallas, Vegas, maybe even hit L.A.
See if maybe some distance convinces you that I’ve gone away
‘Cause I’ve made up my mind, this is overdue
And ain’t it about time you believed it too?
You can keep the cards and the candy too
There’s nothing left to say and nothing you can do

Anymore
Words and music by Chris Wommack
Sometimes love ain’t got no rhyme or reason
Sometimes it’s the curse or it’s the cure
Sometimes you can’t help yourself for feeling like you do
And you can’t shake it, no you can’t shake it
I’ll always love you, I’ll always need you
I’ll always want you, just like before
‘Cause you can’t make me love you any less
Even if you won’t let me love you anymore
Go ahead and tell me you don’t love me
Try your best to break my heart in two
I’ve already cried myself to pieces over you
And you can’t change me, no you can’t change me

You’re it, you’re hot, you’re what I’ve got to get
To make the pieces fit, baby, you’re it
You are, I’ve gone too far to quit
I need you, I admit, baby, you’re it
You’ve got the bluest pair of eyes I’ve ever seen
And that’s the cutest little nose there in between
That smile is so divine, it’s drivin’ me insane
I can’t begin to tell you, boy, what’s goin’ through my brain
I wanna take you in my arms and hold you tight
I wanna make your dreams come true, if that’s alright
I know without a doubt that this was meant to be
‘Cause I was made for you, and baby, you were made for me
You’re it, you’re hot, you’re what I’ve got to get
To make the pieces fit, baby, you’re it
You’re fine, you’re what I had in mind
I’ve fallen, I admit, baby, you’re it

All Those Happy Endings
Words and music by Chris Wommack
She was just a child of three and life was full of mystery
And bedtime stories filled her dreams
With castles and Prince Charmings
She lived every fairy tale, on winds of wonder she set sail
And all of life was make-believe; for now, who was it harming?
And she loves all those happy endings
Where the slipper always fits
And there’s always time to rescue Sleeping Beauty with a kiss
And she dreams of ever after, and spends her days pretending
She’s the fairest of them all, she finally makes it to the ball
And she finds all her happy endings
One year after turning twelve, so insecure about herself
She took up with an older crowd in need of some attention
‘Cause Daddy left when she was eight
And Mama don’t get home ‘til late
So make-believe is just escape from all her apprehensions
Just a girl at seventeen, a drop-out from the party scene
The boy she had the baby with took off and joined the army
She looks older than she is; the nursery rhymes are for her kid
And every night she tells him he’s her very own Prince Charming
