"Love is What She Likes"

1. Baby, Say Yes  click 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
2. 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
3. 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
4. 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
5. 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…
6. 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
7. 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
   
   
8. 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
9. 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
10. 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
11. 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
12. 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

"It's About Time"

1. 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
2. Feather Pillow  click 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
   
   
3. Tellin' You  click 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
4. It's About Time  click 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
5. That First Second Glance  click 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
6. I Can't Concentrate  click 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
7. Even Higher  click 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.

"For You"

1. Take it Like a Man  click 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
2. Anymore  click 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
3. You’re It  click You’re It
   Words and music by Chris Wommack
   
   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

   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
