I Will Survive First I was afraid I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live Without you by my side But I spent so many nights Thinking how you did me wrong I grew strong I learned how to carry on And so you're back From outer space I just walked in to find you here With that sad look upon your face I should have changed my stupid lock I should have made you leave your key If I had known for just one second You’d be back to bother me Go on now go walk out the door just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye you think I'd crumble you think I'd lay down and die Oh no, not I I will survive as long as i know how to love I know I will stay alive I've got all my life to live I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I will survive It took all the strength I had not to fall apart kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart and I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself I used to cry Now I hold my head up high and you see me somebody new I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you and so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me 10. Crazy Crazy, I'm crazy for feelin' so lonely, I'm crazy, crazy for feelin' so blue...... I knew, you'd love me as long as you wanted, And then someday, you'd leave me for somebody new.

Son Of A Preacher Man Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son, And when his daddy would visit he'd come along, When they gathered round and started talking, That's when Billy would take me walking, Through the back yard we'd go walking, Then he'd look into my eyes, Lord knows to my suprise: The only one who could ever reach me, Was the son of a preacher man, The only boy who could ever teach me, Was the son of a preacher man, Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was. Being good isn't always easy, No matter how hard I tried, When he started sweet talking to me, he'd come tell me everything is alright, he'd kiss and tell me everything is alright, Can I get away again tonight?. The only one who could ever reach me, Was the son of a preacher man, The only boy who could ever teach me, Was the son of a preacher man, Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was. How well I remember, The look that was in his eyes, Stealing kisses from me on the sly, Taking time to make time, Telling me that he's all mine, Learning from each others knowing, Looking to see how much we'd grown. The only one who could ever reach me, Was the son of a preacher man, The only boy who could ever teach me, Was the son of a preacher man, Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was. 12.

Can’t Hurry Love I need love, love To ease my mind I need to find, find someone to call mine But mama said You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait She said love don't come easy It's a game of give and take You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait You got to trust, give it time No matter how long it takes But how many heartaches Must I stand before I find a love To let me live again Right now the only thing That keeps me hangin' on When I feel my strength, yeah It's almost gone I remember mama said: You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait She said love don't come easy It's a game of give and take How long must I wait How much more can I take Before loneliness will cause my heart Heart to break?
