Obsession Blues
By michael mcdonald and bernie chiaravalle
Starin back at a room full of strange faces
I sense another welcome worn thin
A bartender sayin son take it outside
Take it out the door you brought it in
He said, he dont wanna hear about my problem
Or why I think I got it so tough
He said guys like me come a dime a dozen
That my only problem is knowin when Ive had enough
(but) how can I have too much?
How can I have to much of somethin I cant get enough of?
You said it so well in your letter baby
You gave me every reason why
Girl you sure use a lot of paper, just to say good-bye
Well heres to the good times
Heres to the way we were
Heres to how you tried to be my lover
till disaster struck
Now you wanna be a friend and tell me
Im a man who simply needs too much

Any Foolish Thing
By michael mcdonald & chuck sabatino
Im not used to saying things like that
cause all my best intentions fall so flat
But when it comes down to it
My love for you knows no limit, darling
Ill say, Ill do
Chorus:
Any foolish thing to call on your affection
Any foolish thing to show how much I care
Any foolish thing that we say might come about
(any foolish thing that we say might just come true)
Dont take it lightly, girl
cause it could just work out
(Id bet it all on you)
That this love wont be any foolish thing
I know you dont believe in every line you hear
Forgive me if Im sounding too sincere
But I cant take chances you might slip away
While I wait for the right time
And place to say

On Your Every Word
By michael mcdonald & amy holland
So easily said in passing
Always followed by some way out
You got me so dizzy
I'm wondering what it's all about
All this talk about us and the future
How real is this future you see
Maybe love's just a word thrown around
But it's important to me
Darlin' i've heard it all before
But i can't give up
Till i know for sure
Chorus:
Oh, can't you see i hang on your every word
This ain't no game i'm playing
I really love you
Don't promise nothin' that you can't live up to
If you're so worried about my feelings
Help me get to the bottom of this
I've listened to all your excuses

(I Hang) On Your Every Word
BY MICHAEL MCDONALD & AMY HOLLAND
SO EASILY SAID IN PASSING
ALWAYS FOLLOWED BY SOME WAY OUT
YOU GOT ME SO DIZZY
I'M WONDERING WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
ALL THIS TALK ABOUT US AND THE FUTURE
HOW REAL IS THIS FUTURE YOU SEE
MAYBE LOVE'S JUST A WORD THROWN AROUND
BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME
DARLIN' I'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
BUT I CAN'T GIVE UP
TILL I KNOW FOR SURE
CHORUS:
OH, CAN'T YOU SEE I HANG ON YOUR EVERY WORD
THIS AIN'T NO GAME I'M PLAYING
I REALLY LOVE YOU
DON'T PROMISE NOTHIN' THAT YOU CAN'T LIVE UP TO
IF YOU'RE SO WORRIED ABOUT MY FEELINGS
HELP ME GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS
I'VE LISTENED TO ALL YOUR EXCUSES

You Cant Make It Love
By michael mcdonald and john scott sherrill
You if anyone should know what time will tell
Not so long ago you taught me oh so well
Now your time has come
Someone took your place
(theres) no need to tell me that hes gone (cause)
I can read it on your face
Chorus:
You learned that you could dream every night
You can try all you like
You can pray every day that its enough
You can hope all you want
Its something to hang your faith on
But you cant make it love
Theres no way love can grow
If only one is true
I would think that you should know
After all, I learned this from you
No matter how much ones in love
As long as one is lying

One Gift
(McDonaldHarrisIngram)
So many will worry
On this christmas day
But many just goes so far anyway
When the shopping is over
It's all said and done
The story's the same for everyone
'cause one gift
Already given that will stand the test of time
Love and mercy
Sweet forgiveness
A gift from god the father to all mankind
Hallelujah
[Repeat]
Christmas is special
The time that we share
The joy and the music fill the air
But let us remember
The message is clear
He sent us a savior to draw us near

Love Can Break Your Heart
By paul carrack and michael mcdonald
With a future as bright as we see
We got to go in with our eyes open wide
For as good as love can be
I cant help being afraid in the back of my mind
For all the dreams we see come true
Girl theres one thing that cant be denied
Baby, weve got a long road ahead
We havent even started yet
Which makes it easy to forget
Baby, love can break your heart
I know it will baby
Love can break your heart
Thats just the other side of it
Love can break your heart
So give it all you can give
cause nothing short of that will do
So its gotta be worth it to me
Its gotta be worth it to you
I know we can read all the signs

Thats Why
By michael mcdonald & randy goodrum
Look back loneliness, you wont see me behind you
Hey now emptiness, no more leading the way
Go on desperateness, I dont need you beside me no more
Come on happiness, I can feel you gaining ground
Hey now foolishness, I might keep you around
Go on emptiness, I wont look behind me no more
I dont rule you out, I know youre there
But Im on to you now
Chorus:
Thats why, I wont be down very long
Thats why, Ill be all right from now on
Thats why, I get stronger everytime
Thats why, I know this heart will survive
After youre gone
You know I believe all we really have is time
No use worrying, no use wondering why
cause through it all, were only here to laugh and cry
Its meant to be that failure only brings another way
Every heartache always has another day

Distant Lover
You know, when you're in love and your lover leaves you
And you've got nobody, the lonely hours over here
Sittin' home and thinkin', you say:
Distant lover, darlin', ooo hoo hoo
So many miles away, ooo please
Oh please, baby, think about me
Hey, in misery
Oh say, baby, as I reminisce about your life
That we shared together
The promises we made, baby
Of the day you left, child
Then all of a sudden, if it may seem to explode
Now I gaze out my window, sugar, down a lonesome road, ooo
Distant lover, ooo, sugar
How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel
Didn't you know, sugar, that I dream
Of what I spent with you
I treasure it like it was a precious jewel, oh baby
Lord have mercy!
Oh baby, don't go

Children Go Where I Send Thee
(Traditional - Arranged By McDonaldHarris)
Childern, go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee two by two
Two for paul and silas
One for the little bitty baby
Wrapped in swaddling clothing
That was born, born
Born in bethlehem
Childern, go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee two by two
Two for paul and silas
Three for the little bitty baby
Four for the hebrew children
Five for the gospel preachers
That was born, born
Born in bethlehem
Childern, go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
