Hello little Martha
There you stand with the stems of the roses still in your hand
The seasons of time
The weather, your face, you little Martha, there's no disgrace
So now little Martha, here you live
You're just 12 years old, have no time to play
The sun don't arise when you're not in my eyes
Not a day goes by without you
Even though you're looking down on me
Tell me angel, will you remember me?
Oh little Martha, as I stand at your feet
I see now that the circle is ought to complete
Now while I stand here feeling so sad
Because we both know the good times we had
So now little Martha, here you live
Your life is all gone, no time to play, oh
The sun don't arise when you're not in my eyes
Not a day goes by without you
Even though you're looking down on me
Tell me angel
The sun don't arise when you're not in my eyes
Not a day goes by without you
Even though you're looking down on me
Tell me angel, will you remember me?
Oh little Martha

GIMME GIMME
(Written by Mick Ralphs)
I rode into town last night, it must've been a quarter to three
I was looking for a place to clash, have some company
I saw you baby, sitting at the end of the bar
Hey honey, won't you come home with me? Won't you jump into my car?
You're gonna gimme all of your lovin'
Need it night and day
You're gonna gimme all your sweet lovin'
Stop me slippin' away, yeah
Leaving in the morning, headed for Chicago town
Hey baby, you know I ain't gonna call ya, so don't follow me around
I guess we had a good time, could I paint the town
But for now I'll be on my way, oh next time around I'm gonna give ya
All your sweet lovin'
I need it night and day
You're gonna gimme all of your lovin'
Stop me slippin' away, oh whoa
Oh yeah
You're gonna gimme all your sweet lovin'
I need it night and day
You're gonna gimme all your sweet lovin'
Stop me slippin' away
You're gonna gimme gimme all your sweet lovin'
I need it night and day
You're gonna gimme all your sweet lovin'
All your sweet lovin', yeah
Need it night and day
Hear what I say
All your sweet lovin'

WHERE I BELONG
(Written by Dave Colwell and ????? Lister)
I'm making sure another late night drags on
Just one more drink, but you know I'm wrong
Sooner or later, when everyone's gone
You just shake your head and take my hand
You seem to know what it takes me time to tell
But then you know me, surprises me how well
You make me an offer that I can't refuse
Take my arm and walk away
Help me find my way home
Along this rocky road, 'cause I can't carry on
Will you head me to my bed
Ease my aching head, take me where I belong
Sometimes you smile at the clothes that I wear
You listen to reason when I just don't care
It's bringing me down, then I start to fall
You catch my heart and don't let it go
Help me find my way home
Along this rocky road, 'cause I can't carry on
Will you head me to my bed
Ease my aching head, take me where I belong
As I see you lay your head
I'm glad it's next to mine, mine, whoa
Won't you come on home?
Help me find my way home
Along this rocky road, 'cause I can't carry on
Will you head me to my bed
And ease my aching head, take me where I belong
Help me find my way home
Along this rocky road, 'cause I can't carry on
Will you head me to my bed
And ease my aching head, take me where I belong
Take me home
Take me home

| You're the Only Reason | |
|
(Written by Mick Ralphs)
I was down and out, and living on my luck
Even that was wearing thin
Turned around one day and you were standing there, babe
You made my life begin
You're the only reason I'm living
I'm loving every minute with you, yeah
You're the reason I'm living
And I owe it all to you
I was lonely, I was down, and I was broke
'Bout as low as a man could be
You picked me up and you saved me, baby
'Cause you believed in me, yes you did
You're the only reason I'm living
I'm loving every minute with you, yeah
You're the reason I'm living
And I owe it all to you, yeah
I'm looking back all things going down
You made me strong
Baby, showed me how to get along
You know you did
Now I stand up straight and hold my head up high
I'm as proud as any man could be
See I've got everything that a man could want to have
Because of you and me, whoa oh
You're the only reason I'm living
I'm loving every minute with you, yes I am
You're the reason I'm living
And I owe it all to you, yeah
You're the only reason I'm living
Loving every minute with you
You're the reason I'm living
And I owe it all to you, yeah
Yes, I owe it
You know I owe it
Baby, baby, baby, baby

| Loving You Out Loud | |
|
(Written by Simon Kirke)
If I kissed you when you least expect it
And take you in my arms, just accept it
If I tell you you're what my life's about
I'm only loving you out loud
When I call you up on the telephone
And tell you that I'm feeling oh so alone
I wanna love you dear inside out(?)
I'm only loving you out loud
The times that we spent together
Are the best that I've ever known
No matter what the future may bring, baby
It's loving you from now on, oh baby
If I kissed you when you least expect it
And take you in my arms, just accept it
If I tell you you're what my life's about, yeah
I'm only loving you out loud
You know I'm only loving you out loud
