I Don't Want To Want You Anymore Composer(s): Henry Small; Richie Zito Performer(s): Prism
If there's somewhere else you'd rather be I wish you'd go there now If there's someone else. don't stay with me Cause I don't wanna doubt the love that you give Make it for real or make it goodbye
I don't want to want you anymore 'Cause I've been hurt Too many times before I don't want to want you anymore If you don't want me
Is there any reason why you changed It gets me so confused I don't know why you should find it strange That I want you to choose between him and me How can I lose what I've already lost
I don't want to want you anymore 'Cause I've been hurt Too many times before I don't want to want you anymore If you don't want me
Well then let me know Don't keep me in the dark We've been lovers We've been friends But if it's gone too far
I don't want to want you I don't want to want you, baby Oh, I don't want to want you I don't want to want you, girl I don't want to want you I don't want to want you, baby ahh I don't want to want you I don't want to want you, girl
I don't want to want you anymore 'Cause I've been hurt Too many times before I don't want to want you anymore If you don't want me
(I don't want to want you) (I don't want to want you, baby) (I don't want to want you) (I don't want to want you, girl) I know you don't want me (I don't want to want you) (I don't want to want you, girl) Baby, don't you know I want you, I want you (I don't want to want you) (I don't want to want you, girl) (I don't want to want you) (I don't want to want you, baby)

Today Is Mine Composer(s): Jerry Reed Hubbard Performer(s): Glen Campbell
When the sun came up this morning I took the time to watch it rise And as its beauty struck the darkness From the sky
I thought how small and unimportant All my troubles seem to be And how lucky another day Belongs to me
And as the sleepy world around me Woke up to greet the day All its silent beauty Seemed to say
So what, my friend, if all your dreams You haven't realized Just look around you You've got a new day to try
Today is mine, today is mine To do with what I will Today is mine My own special cup to fill To die a little that I might learn to live To take from life that I might learn to give Today is mine
Like most men I curse the present Void of peace of mind And race my thoughts beyond tomorrow Envision there a sweeter time
But as I view this day around me I can see the fool I've been For today's the only garden That we can tend
Today is mine, today is mine To do with what I will Today is mine My own special cup to fill To die a little that I might learn to live To take from life that I might learn to give Today is mine

Though tonight she's made me sad I still love her If I find her I'll be glad I still love her

Jesus He Knows Me Composer(s): Tony Banks; Phil Collins; Mike Rutherford Performer(s): Genesis; Brotherhood Of St. Gregory; Spectrum
You see the face on the TV screen Coming at you every Sunday See that face on the billboard That man is me
On the cover of the magazine There's no question why I'm smiling You buy a piece of paradise You buy a piece of me
I'll get you everything you wanted I'll get you everything you need Don't need to believe in hereafter Just believe in me
'Cos Jesus he knows me And he knows I'm right I've been talking to Jesus all my life Oh yes he knows me And he knows I'm right And he's been telling me Everything is alright
I believe in the family With my ever loving wife beside me But she don't know about my girlfriend Or the man I met last night
Do you believe in God 'Cos that's what I'm selling And if you wanna get to heaven I'll see you right
You won't even have to leave your house Or get outta your chair You don't even have to touch that dial 'Cos I'm everywhere
And Jesus he knows me And he knows I'm right I've been talking to Jesus all my life Oh yes he knows me And he knows I'm right Well he's been telling me Everything's gonna be alright
Won't find me practising what I'm preaching Won't find me making no sacrifice But I can get you a pocketful of miracles If you promise to be good, try to be nice God will take good care of you Just do as I say, don't do as I do
I'm counting my blessings, I've found true happiness 'Cos I'm getting richer, day by day You can find me in the phone book, Just call my toll free number You can do it anyway you want Just do it right away
There'll be no doubt in your mind You'll believe everything I'm saying If you wanna get closer to him Get on your knees and start praying
'Cos Jesus he knows me And he knows I'm right I've been talking to Jesus all my life Oh yes he knows me And he knows I'm right Well he's been telling me Everything's gonna be alright, alright
Today I killed a man I didn't know I held my rifle high and shot him low I'd like to think he really was to blame Well I never knew or never will his name
I guess that someone, somewhere knew him well And they'll cry when they're told that he has fell But it's hard for me to think of him as good 'Cause he'd done me just the same if he could
Oh mother, oh mama, I'm so cold And I feel like I am quickly growing old So I hope you are thinking of your son 'Cause tomorrow morning I'll be twenty-one
Oh Johnny Ray, Johnny Ray, oh, he don't worry now He don't wonder how
Today my sergeant told me I've done well That I'd sent another Southern boy to hell But I can't help wondering about the lost of life And if that rebel soldier had a wife
Oh mama, oh mam, I'm so cold And the good book doesn't help me like you told 'Cause it don't tell me if I'm right or wrong Or when this war will end, just how long
Oh mama, oh mama, I'm so cold And I feel I am quickly growing old So I hope that you are thinking of your son 'Cause tomorrow morning I'll be twenty-one

I don't ever care to rise to power I would rather be with you an hour For the things that one can buy Are not worth a lover's sigh
I don't want to set the world on fire I just want to start a flame in your heart In my heart I have but one desire And that one is you, no other will do
I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim I just want to be the one you love And with your admission that you feel the same I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of, believe me
I don't want to set the world on fire I just want to start a flame in your heart
