DO YOU FEEL IT
Written by Billy Alessi & Bobby Alessi

Sometimes it hurts to know the truth
The further on in time
The more we leave behind

I would like to share the road I go
Before it slips away…
Away…
Away...

Of all the ladies I’ve known
There’s never been really one
whose captured my soul
That was before I met you
Baby, do you feel it?
Oh, baby
Oh, baby

Even though I’m living
In swinging LA
With plenty of women and plenty of play
They don’t compare to you
Baby, do you feel it?
Baby.
Baby, did you mean it
When you said

San Francisco, Candelight Harbor
It all comes back to me (those times)
Love took us, you closed your eyes
You said those words to me
I …love… you

Oh, baby
Oh, did you feel it?
Oh, baby,
Did you mean it?
Oh, baby

Even though I’m living
In swinging LA
With plenty of women and plenty of play
Those other ladies I know
Never captured my soul

YOU CAN HAVE IT BACK
Written by Billy Alessi & Bobby Alessi

I’m leaving in the morning
and
I’d really like to say -- hey
That I wish that you were coming
Or that I was staying
We can’t always get what we want

Ooo but, anyway, what I’d like to say
Think of years and all the tears
That brought us to today
Hey I wonder was it worth it
The pain and the sorrow
Baby our love’s going to the dogs

But anyway, what I’d like to say
Is you can have it back
(You can have I back, your love)
You can have it back

Shouldn’t be hard for you
To get over our love
You shouldn’t cry a tear
It’s no point
Baby, it’s over
It’s over

So anyway, what I’d like to say
Is you can have it back
(You can have it back, your love)
You can have it back

Leaving in the morning
I’ve got nothing else to say
(You can have it back, your love)
You can have it back
(You can have it back, your love,
you can have it back, your love)
You can have it back
I’m leaving, (giving it up, giving it up)
leaving in the morning
I’ve got nothing else to say
Giving it up, giving it up
You can have it back

Giving it up, giving it up
You can have it back
(repeat)

I WAS SO SURE
Written by Billy Alessi & Bobby Alessi

You made it clear
You couldn’t be around too much
But my curiosity wouldn’t give you up
I was so sure that I could never fall in love again
My heart went through such a strain

Through the years I learned to hide the hurt that stayed inside
And, oh, then there was you
And baby when you smiled
To me, it’s got the magic touch
You gave me your loving but you said
Don’t take too much
You made me promise
I wouldn’t fall in love
But how could we just br friends
When I’m already too involved in you

How could it be?
Another one to break my heart
It’s a curse on me
To fall in love and fall apart

I was so sure that I could never fall in love again
Wish I had a dime for every time I had to hold my feelings back
And oh, now it’s you

You made me promise
I wouldn’t fall in love
But how could we just be friends
When I’m already too involved in you

I was so sure and there you are smiling
Walking away again
OU relationship seems to be dying
Out of my head
I was so sure that I could never fall in love again
Wish I had a dime for every time I’ve had to hold my feelings back
I guess another lost love is better than no love at all

BIG DEAL (LIVE WITHOUT YOU)
Written by Billy Alessi & Bobby Alessi

Big deal, I’m not over you
So what can I do
I’m wasting my time
Singing lines about you

Slipped on my face
My life’s a disgrace
Drunk all the time
Lost my mind over you

Oh, baby
You said I could learn to live without you
Well, maybe, that’s true
But I still feel you

I can fake it
I’m gonna fake it
You’ll come back for me

What can I say?
Be any day
I’ll find someone new
Then it’s you
What will you do?
Baby, it’s true
It’s on you
Love you blue
With love so true
But both of us lose

Baby,
You said I could learn to live without you
Well, maybe, that’s true
But I still feel you

Baby,
You said I could learn to live without you
Well, maybe, that’s true
But I still feel you

DON’T HOLD BACK
Written by Billy Alessi & Bobby Alessi

I want to tell you I really care for you
It’s kind of hard to say but
It’s been on my mind, for days, for days
I love you, you love me
Together we have a real fine time
But we don’t know what it’s like
To be together
But it’s all in mind

Darling, you can’t hold back
If you really mean it
Don’t hold back
Just show me the love you feel

And when it’s cold out
You curl up close to me
And for the moment
You close your eyes and sigh
You touch me, I touch you
But baby, there’s so much more
Than the whole world to discover

Darling, you can’t hold back
(no, no, no)
If you really mean it
Don’t hold back
Just show me the love you feel

Can’t you see, ooo, can’t you see
I dedicate my love to you
I dedicate my life just for you

I know there are some
That flaunt there love so freely
Ooo, yeah
Out of desperation or despair
Or when they care to
This is not the same
This is not the same

Darling, you can’t hold back
(no, no, no)
If you really mean it
Don’t hold back
Just show me the love you feel

Show me you mean it

Darling, you can’t hold back
(no, no, no)
D-D-D-Darling, you can’t hold back
(no, no, no)
D-D-D-Darling, you can’t hold back
(no, no, no)
D-D-D-Darling, you can’t, no you can’t hold back
D-D-Darling, you can’t hold back

TOO LONG TO FORGET
Written by Billy Alessi & Bobby Alessi

You take the car
And I’ll take the couch
The things that I gave you
I want you to keep

Oo, this really isn’t gonna be easy
I’ll call you on Sunday to see how you’re doing
And how you like living alone

The moment you’re ready
I wish you’d forget it
Maybe we’ll still work it out
I know you don’t want to

Remember when you said you would never leave me
But I look at your face and it’s all been clearly erased
You forget
We both agreed and we really believe that
When you’re this hung up
It takes a long time to forget
Too long to forget
Too long to forget
Too long to forget

You take the bird
And I’ll take the cat
Please keep in touch
Because I worry about you
You know that I think you’re tired
Well, I think you don’t really want to

Remember when you said you would never leave me
But I look at your face and it’s all been clearly erased
You forget
We both agreed and we really believe that
When you’re this hung up
You know, it takes a long time
Takes a long time, it takes a long time
It takes a long time

You said you would never leave me
But I look at your face and it’s all been clearly erased
You forget
We both agreed and we really believe that
When you’re this hung up
It takes a long time
Takes a long time
It takes a long time

Week by week
Heaven knows we tried
Good bye, we tried
Heaven knows we tried
We both agreed and we really believe that
When you’re this hung up

SAD SONGS
written by Billy Alessi and Bobby Alessi

It's early in the morning
Today I'm moving away
Sitting here for the last time
Makes me feel so strange

My life here has ended
Like a pulled up weed
Don't play no sad songs
They'll make me cry

This situation reminds me
Of when I went away to school
My friends they all called me
And said I've been made a fool

My girlfriend she left me
For my best friend
Oh don't play no sad songs
They'll make me cry

Coz sad songs are tearing up my heart again
Loneliness is standing in my path again
Oh, I can feel it coming
I can hear it calling out my name

I don't wanna remember
What I'm leaving behind
The radio plays a sad song
And it brings it on

Loneliness surrounds me
Like clouds bring rain
Oh, don't play no sad songs
They'll make me cry

Coz sad songs are tearin' up my heart again
Loneliness is standing in my path again
I can feel it coming
I can hear it calling out my name

I can feel it coming
I can hear it calling out my name

Sad songs are tearing up my heart again
Loneliness is standing in my path again
(repeat)

OH LORI
Written by Billy Alessi & Bobby Alessi

I’d like to stay in love with you
All summer and after fall
I’ll keep you warm through the winter
Because I’ve noticed one thing
This ain’t no summer fling

I’d like to ride my bicycle with you
On the handlebars
You’d laugh and run away
And I’d chase you through the meadow
Without you I’d die
Let’s never say good-bye

Oh, Lori
You bring the spring, the summer, fall
Ooo and winter
By the season
Oh, Lori (oh, Lori)
You make me feel as though I’ve been born again
Born again

You danced for me in your bare feet
That mellow afternoon
When we made love to each other
And I’m loving you
That’s all I want to do

Oh, Lori
You bring the spring, the summer, fall
Ooo and winter
By the season
Oh, Lori (oh, Lori)
You make me feel as though I’ve been born again
Born again
(repeat)

JOANNA
Written by Billy Alessi & Bobby Alessi

On the first day at school
Everybody knew
Joanna was hot
Still she was a lady
(Oh, Joanna)
She had a way in everything she’d say
So they’d all be hypnotized
But I realized
She was a girl that always had attention
That is why I could not let on my intention

Joanna, we’re gonna
Touch the sky some night

One by one
Everybody tried
For Joanna’s heart
Me, I just waited
(for Joanna)
And just for fun
She kept them on the run
Oh, Joanna was smart
Still she was a lady

I used to watch
Those fools, those fools, those fools
How they waited after school
Me, I kept my cool

Joanna, we’re gonna
Touch the sky some night

Took some time
Until they all struck out
She couldn’t see why
I didn’t try
(oh, Joanna)
Eventually she came on to me
Oh, Joanna was hot
And I got my shot
She’s a girl who always had attention
That is why I couldn’t let on my intention

Joanna, we’re gonna
Touch the sky tonight
(repeat)

SEABIRD
Written by Billy Alessi & Bobby Alessi

There’s a road I know I must go
Even though I tell myself
That road is closed
Listen lonely seabird
You’ve been away from land too long
Aw, too long

I don’t listen to the news no more
Like an unwound clock,
You just don’t seem to care
This world isn’t big enough
To keep me away from you
Aw, from you

Seabird, seabird
Fly home
Seabird, seabird
Fly home
Like a lonely seabird
You’ve been away from land too long
Aw, too long

Suddenly you’re with me
I turn and you’re not there
Like a ghost, you haunt me
You find warmth in a 1-night bed

Sunsets, full moons
Don’t turn you on
Like an untied dog
You just had to run
Like a lonely seabird
You’ve been away from land too long
Oh, no, too long

Seabird, seabird
Fly home
Seabird, seabird
Fly home
(repeat)
