#1. Heartbeat

I confess, I never loved nobody
Like I love you, like I love you
If you should ever take your love away from me, baby
What would I do? What would I do?

‘Cause my heart only
Beats for you, baby

And the drummer goes to the beat of my heart
And the drummer goes to the beat of my heart
And the drummer goes to the beat of my heart
And the drummer goes to the beat of my heart

Can you hear my heart beating for ya?
Can you hear my heart beating for ya?
Can you hear my heart beating for ya?
Can you hear it, baby?

I confess that I’m not always perfect
But I’m perfect for you, perfect for you
Even though we fight and cry, girl, you know it’s not worth it
I still love you, still love you, yeah

‘Cause my heart only
Beats for you, baby
And the drummer goes

And the drummer goes to the beat of my heart
And the drummer goes to the beat of my heart
And the drummer goes to the beat of my heart
And the drummer goes to the beat of my heart

Can you hear my heart beating for ya? (Ooh, can you hear it?)
Can you hear my heart beating for ya? (Can’t you hear my heartbeat?)
Can you hear my heart beating for ya?

Baby, I’m nothing
Without you here by my side
You’re my whole world
Baby, I’m nothing
Without you here by my side (by my side)
You’re my whole world

And the drummer goes to the beat of my heart (to the beat of my heart)
And the drummer goes to the beat of my heart
And the drummer goes to the beat of my heart (oh the drummer goes)
And the drummer goes to the beat of my heart (and the drummer goes)
And the drummer goes to the beat of my heart
And the drummer goes to the beat of my heart (can you hear it, baby?)
And the drummer goes to the beat of my heart
And the drummer goes to the beat of my heart

Can you hear my heart beating for ya? (Can you hear it?)
Can you hear my heart beating for ya? (Baby, can you hear it?)
Can you hear my heart beating for ya? (Can you hear it?)
Can you hear it, baby?

#2. Thankful

(I am thankful, thankful, thankful)
(I am thankful, thankful, thankful)

I think of you in October when the rain starts to fall
I couldn’t fight through the storm so I built up a wall
I was looking for something in all the wrong places
I was searching for love in all the wrong faces

I saw a flicker of light in the darkness
Saw a reflection of me where your heart is

Baby, cause you
You’re holding me up, you’re holding me up
And I am thankful you
You’re more than enough, you’re more than enough
And I am thankful
Everything I ever wanted
Never knew until I got it
Because of you
I am thankful (I am thankful)

(I am thankful)

Sometimes the pressure of the city’s got me slipping back, ah
But just the thought of you in it helps me stay on track
And when they’re all going out, just know I’ll be coming home baby
And when there’s no one around, I know I’m not alone baby

I saw a flicker of light in the darkness
Saw a reflection of me where your heart is
Oh-ooo-oh

Baby, cause you
You’re holding me up (yes she did), you’re holding me up
And I am thankful you (and I am thankful)
You’re more than enough, you’re more than enough
And I am thankful
Everything I ever wanted
Never knew until I got it
Because of you
I am thankful (I am thankful)
Oh, oh, ohohoh

No I don’t tell you enough but I’m thankful
You’re picture perfect from every angle
Just know wherever I go, Imma take you
I’m so thankful, I’m so thankful…

Baby, cause you (oh yeah)
You’re holding me up (uh huh), you’re holding me up
And I am thankful (yes she did) you
You’re more than enough (oh-ooo-oh hoo-oh), you’re more than enough
And I am thankful
Everything I ever wanted
Never knew until I got it (Never knew it baby)
Because of you
I am thankful (I am thankful)

(I am thankful, thankful, thankful)

I’m so thankful…

(I am thankful, thankful, thankful)
(Thankful, thankful)

#3. One More Night [ +more]

She gets me high
Lying on my bed with that look in her eye
Reading the signs
I’m riding every curve with her into the light, oh oh

I can’t control myself
Can’t think of no one else
It’s like we lose ourselves, every touch
Staring into your eyes
Some kind of paradise
Don’t have to say goodbye

Give me one more night to love you (ooh)
One more night to love you
Give me one more night to love you (ooh)
One more night to love you

Yeah, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Give me one more night to love you

I close my eyes
Silhouette of you still dancing in my mind, oh yeah
Damn, you’re so my type
And making love to you is like watching stars align, oh

I can’t control myself
Can’t think of no one else
It’s like we lose ourselves, every touch
Staring into your eyes
Some kind of paradise
Don’t have to say goodbye, oh

Give me one more night to love you (ooh)
One more night to love you
Give me one more night to love you babe
Give me one more night to love you (ooh)
One more night to love you

Yeah, ooh
Ooh (yeah ooh) ooh (oh, oh)
Give me one more night to love you
Yeah, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Give me one more night to love you

Tell me your fantasies, all of your darkest desires
I’ll be the one who can give you whatever you like
Come put your hands on my body, let’s do this thing one more time

Give me one more night to love you (ooh)
One more night to love you
Give me one more night to love you (ooh)
One more night to love you

Yeah, ooh
Ooh, ooh (one more night)
Give me one more night to love you
Yeah, ooh (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ooh, ooh (give me one more night to love you)
Give me one more night to love you

#4. Hard (Not Luvin U)

I’ve been playin’ cool with you too long
And that’s not me
Tryna front like you don’t turn me on (turn me on)
Is that what you believe?

Oh baby I, apologize, but I won’t be satisfied
Till you’re beggin’ me for more and more (Don’t beg me, girl)
Your body’s like a paradise and I’m tryna take a flight
You’re a masterpiece, I’m just tryna let you know

Baby you’re more than a problem
Give me one taste so I can make it stop
If you really don’t want me to wantcha
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
It’s so hard not luvin U

Watchin’ every motion I can’t speak
You got me weak
Tryna be polite but underneath
I’m feelin’ like a freak, freak (yeah)

Oh baby I, apologize, but I won’t be satisfied
Till you’re beggin’ me for more and more (oh yeah baby)
Your body’s like a paradise and I’m tryna take a flight
You’re a masterpiece, I’m just tryna let you know (C’mon)

Baby you’re more than a problem
Give me one taste so I can make it stop
If you really don’t want me to wantcha (hoo)
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
It’s so hard not luvin u

That’s what she said…
That’s what he said, too

Cause you know I want to more than anything (You know I want you)
How can I have you (I got to have you)
Heaven is waiting (I’ll take ya to heaven), they won’t let me in
Until I finally have you

Baby you’re more than a problem
Give me one taste so I can make it stop
If you really don’t want me to wantcha (Oh)
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
It’s so hard… (It’s so hard) not luvin u

Woah… oh hoo whoa ho

It’s so hard not luvin u (yea yeah yes yeah)
It’s so hard not luvin u
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
It’s so hard…

#5. Still Sounds Good

Still sounds good to me
Like we were seventeen
So play that song for me, come on Eileen
Still sounds good to me

1989 a number, what a summer
Sound of a brother from another mother
Music hit ya hard cause you knew it had soul
Why am I surprised you remember, us together
And all summer long till forever
Music hit ya hard and you couldn’t let go

And you say
Oh, oh, oh
I wanna hear it, I wanna feel it
Oh, oh, oh
It still sounds good to me

Still sounds good to me
Like we were seventeen
So play that song for me, come on Eileen
Still sounds good to me

1989 a number, what a summer
Told you there would never be another
Knew it in your heart, knew it in your soul
I looked in your eyes and remember us together
Told you I’ll be loving you forever
Music hit ya hard and you couldn’t let go

And you say
Oh, oh, oh
I wanna hear it, I wanna feel it
Oh, oh, oh
It still sounds good to me

Still sounds good to me
Like we were seventeen
So play that song for me, you know the one I mean
Still sounds good to me

Going back like Jones Beach in ’89
To the Summer-Summer-Summertime
To the Careless Whispers, in the purple rain
To makin’ Modern Love in The Jefferson Airplane
To The Greatest of All Times, to the Magic and Bird era-
It’s like we pressed rewind, to Hangin’ Tougher Than Leather
We’d Frey it up like Glenn, cause The Heat Is On
We got Wilder like Gene, To the P.M. Dawn
Stayed on point like Phife, Thicke, like The Facts of Life
You know The Reasons – Maurice White
Princess – we miss you, may the force be with you!
Life ch-ch-changes – Bowie, Rearranges – Joey
Jordan, Danny and Jon, sing the Hook – I’m gone
Got a date, can’t be late, I-I-I can’t wait

Still sounds good to me
Like we were seventeen
So play that song for me, come on Eileen
Still sounds good to me

#7. Unwrap You (Bonus Track)

It’s getting cold out and the snow is coming down
I should be there to keep you warm but you’re alone now
One more plane ride and I’ll be right there by your side
With every second that goes by I’m getting closer

Another year has come and gone
And I know I’ve been gone too long
But if you just hold on I’m coming home

Baby it’s Christmas, how could I miss this?
The work and the worry and the wait is through
Tonight I’m gonna unwrap you
Baby it’s Christmas tonight
I’m feeling the feeling inside
Alone, Santa told me what you want me to do
Tonight I’m gonna unwrap you

Traffic’s crazy but now I’m coming down the block
And I can see the candles glowing in the window
Hey there baby, ooh! Damn you look so hot
I don’t ever think I’ve seen you look more beautiful

Another year has come and gone
And Santa know just what I want
So come and kiss ‘neath the mistletoe

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

And now that we are here there’s magic in the air
My favorite time of year, it’s Christmas time, it’s Christmas time
And now that we are here the single song of cheer
It’s Christmas time, oh

Baby it’s Christmas, how could I miss this?
The work and the worry and the wait is through
Tonight I’m gonna unwrap you
Baby it’s Christmas, how could I miss this?
The work and the worry and the wait is through
Tonight I’m gonna unwrap you
Baby it’s Christmas tonight
I’m feeling the feeling inside
Alone, Santa told me what you want me to do
Tonight I’m gonna unwrap you

This Christmas, ooh, whoo-hoo
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)

I’ve been such a good boy this year
I’ve got my present, bad year
Been such a good boy
I’ve got my present, bad year

#8. One Night Of Peace (Bonus Track)

When we are born
We are born in innocence
When we step into this world
We know only love
So when we hate
It doesn’t come naturally
We gotta unlearn it
Before it’s too late
(There’s no time to waste)
No time to waste, we got…

One life, one love, one birth, one dream
For just one night
If we only believe

Every race and color
All religions, every creed
We can come together
Stop the world for just one night of peace
Let’s erase all borders
From the mountains to the sea
We can come together
Stop the world for just one night of peace

Change
It doesn’t come easily
But we have the power to spark the fire
To feed the flame
(We can feed the flame, gonna feed the flame)
Keep it burning, we got…

One life, one love, one birth, one dream
For just one night
If we only believe

Put down your sword, tear down these walls
Tonight we leave behind
The darkest of days, let a light lead the way
To a better place, we got

One life, one love, one birth, one dream
For just one night (Come on now)
One life, one love, one birth, one dream
For just one night
If we only believe

#9. December Love (Bonus Track)

Oh-oh, mm-mh
Yeah, yeah

Hey love, come on over here
Look up in the sky, see how bright it’s shining for us
That one right there
That’s the star we wished on on that winter when we
Fell in love in December
This is the time we get to remember

So hold me like it’s our last goodbye
Touch me just like it’s the first time
Kiss me and if you stop to cry
It’s okay, I get emotional too

We got a love that lasts forever
Through the stormy weather
We got that December love
Look at how far we’ve come together
We made it through November
We got that December love

Let it snow
Don’t mind the cold
‘Cause even when it’s snowing I’ll be there
To keep you warm till it stops
But we’re inside now, so…
Put on a record with Stylistics
Or New Kids On The Block
This December
We’re gonna make it one to remember

So hold me like it’s our last goodbye
Touch me just like it’s the first time
Kiss me and if you stop to cry
It’s okay, I get emotional too

‘Cause we got a love that lasts forever
Through the stormy weather
We got that December love
Look at how far we’ve come together
We made it through November
We got that December love

Holidays are here
And with every passing year
I love you more and more
(I love you) More and more

We got a love that lasts forever
Through the stormy weather
We got that December love
Look at how far we’ve come together
We made it through November
We got that December love

So hold me like it’s our last goodbye
Touch me just like it’s the first time
Kiss me and if you stop to cry
It’s okay, I get emotional too

We got a love that lasts forever
Through the stormy weather
We got that December love
Look at how far we’ve come together
We made it through November
We got that December love
