1. LOVE SNEAKIN' UP ON YOU

Rainy night, I'm all alone
Sittin' here, waiting for your voice on the phone
Fever turns to cold, cold sweat
Thinkin' about things we ain't done yet
Tell me now
I gotta know, do you feel the same
Do you just light up at the mention of my name.

Don't worry baby, it ain't nothin' new
That's just love sneakin' up on you
And if your whole world is shakin', feel like I do
That's just love sneakin' up on you.

Hey, hey yeah.

Nowhere on Earth for your heart to hide
Once love comes sneakin' up on your blind side
You might as well try to stop the rain
Stand in the track of a runaway train
Just can't fight it when a thing is meant to be, yeah
Come on, let's finish what you started with me
Yeah.

Don't worry baby, it ain't nothin' new
That's just love sneakin' up on you
And if your whole world is shakin', feel like I do
That's just love sneakin' up on you.

Hey yeah

Don't worry baby, it ain't nothin' new
That's just love sneakin' up on you
And if your whole world is shakin', feel like I do
That's just love sneakin' up on you.

Don't worry baby, it ain't nothin' new
That's just love sneakin' up on you
And if your whole world is shakin', feel like I do
That's just love sneakin' up on you.


2. NICK OF TIME

A friend of mine, she cries at night
And she calls me on the phone
Sees babies everywhere she goes
And she wants one of her own.

She's waited long enough she says
And still he can't decide
Pretty soon she'll have to choose
And it tears her up inside.

She is scared,
Scared to run out of time.

I see my folks are getting on
And I watch their bodies change
I know they see the same in me
And it makes us both feel strange.

No matter how you tell yourself
It's what we all go through
Those lines are pretty hard to take
When they're staring back at you.

Oh Oh Oh, scared you'll run out of time.

When did the choices get so hard
With so much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious
When there's less of it to waste.

Mmm-m-m-m-m-m

Mmmmmmm, scared you'll run out of time.

Just when I thought I'd had enough
And all my tears were shed
No promise left unbroken
There were no painful words unsaid.

Yo-o-o-u came along and showed me
I could leave it all behind
You opened up my heart again
And then much to my surprise.

I found love, baby, love in the nick of time
(Love in the nick of time)
I found love darlin', love in the nick of time
(Love in the nick of time)
I found love baby, love in the nick of time.

Ooooooo-ooo-ooo-whoo-ooo
Yeah baby.

Uhhhhh-huh-uh

Found love
In the nick of time

Thought I'd given up
Given up baby.

Oh ooo wo ooo wo.


3. BABY MINE (WITH WAS NOT WAS)

Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine
Little one when you play
Don't you mind what you say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine
If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The right to hold you
From your head to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine.


4. HELL TO PAY

Hey mister, we want you to know
We think you've taken this about as far as it can go
It's about to blow
You got nowhere to run
Why don't you sit back and watch the show.

Used to drop your little darlin' off at Sunday School
Family values while you're gettin' some Behind the pool
She's nobody's fool
So don't be actin' surprised when your daughter
Wants it bad as you.

You jack up the rent, you call in a loan
Clear your intent is to screw 'em out of all they own
Throw the dog a bone
Well you'll be cryin' for mercy when your karma
Calls you On the Phone.

Times are hard...Ain't it a bitch
Japanese are makin' you twitch
All your investments are turnin' sour
Kinda spoils your happy hour.

Look around, we're comin' your way
It's a wonder to us how you ever thought you'd
Get away
What you say
Well, the way it looks from here
You won't have to wait
The way it looks from here.

No need to hesitate
Have a party celebrate
The way it looks from here
You won't have to wait for hell to pay.
