1. SINCE I MET YOU BABY

I used to wake up in the morning with an aching head
I couldn't remember anything I'd said
My friends told me I was getting out of line
If it wasn't for you baby, I'd be doing time.

Since I met you baby
you've made a new man of me
Since I met you baby
I'm happy as a man could be
Yes, I am.

I used to think I was better than the rest
Ain't no doubt about it, I was no second best
Didn't seem to matter what was right or what was wrong
I did some crazy things before you came along.

Since I met you baby
you've made a new man of me
Since I met you baby
I'm happy as a man could be
Yes, I am.

Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
I'm happy as a man could be.
One more time!

Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Since I met you baby
Well, since I met you baby,
I'm happy as a man could be
Yes, I am.

Happy as a man can be.
You tell 'em Gary!
Yeah!


2. DON'T STAR ME TALKING

Well, I'm going down to Rosie's
Stop at Fenna May's
I'm gonna tell Fenna
What I have bought at Frenzie's.

Don't start me talkin'
I'll tell everything I know
Yes, I will
I'm gonna wake up this signifyin'
'cos somebody's got to go.

Dex gave his wife two dollars
Go out'n try'n get some margarine
Gets out on the streets
Mo George stopped here
He knocked her dow
And blackened her eye
She gets back home
And tell her husband a lie.

Don't start me talkin'
I'll tell everything I know
You know I will
I'm gonna wake up this signifyin'
Oh, 'cos somebody's got to go
Yeah.

Well, she borrowed some money
Down at the beauty shop
She honked his horn
She began to stop
Said take me baby
Around the block
I'm going to the beauty shop
Where I can get my hair a shag.

Don't start me talkin'
I'll tell everything I know
Ooh
I'm gonna wake up this signifyin'
'Cos somebody's got to go.


3. ONCE IN A BLUE MOON

(Instrumental)


4. THE HURT INSIDE

You wrestle with your conscience
To free your better self
But did you think for one moment
You could be someone else?

Between a rock and a hard place
Is where you seem to be
You've been caught in a trap
Between the devil and the deep blue sea.

All those nights so lonely
All the tears that you cry
You can't hide
From the hurt inside
The hurt inside.

You're in a situation
Pray this time it will pass
But it feels like you're walkin
Over miles and miles of broken glass.

Painted into a corner
Where the sun never shines
Somebody's turned on the spotlight
You forgot to learn your lines.

In the place you once called your heart
There's a wound that's open wide
You can't hide
From the hurt inside
The hurt inside.

When you're thinking 'bout the hard times
Everyone's been through
But it won't make no difference
Seeing things the way you do.

In this blue condition
You must search for the light
Don't believe them when they tell you
You can't hold back the night.

Between a rock and a hard place
Is where you'll always be
Caught in a trap
Between the devil and the deep blue sea.

So many words unspoken
So many times you never tried
You can't hide
From the hurt inside
The hurt inside.

No, you can't hide
From the hurt inside
The hurt inside
There's one thing you can't hide
It's the hurt inside
The hurt inside
