- For Once in My Life2:16
Letra
For once in my life I have someone who needs me Someone I've needed so long For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me And somehow I know I'll be strong For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of Long before I knew Someone warm like you Would make my dreams come true For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me Not like it's hurt me before For once, I have something I know won't desert me I'm not alone anymore For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it As long as I know I have love, I can make it For once in my life, I have someone who needs me Oh baby For once in my life For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me Not like it's hurt me before For once, I have something I know won't desert me I'm not alone anymore For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it As long as I know I have love, I can make it For once in my life, I have someone who need me For once in my life Somebody that needs me Ooh, baby For once in my life - Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day2:44

Letra
Hey you were good at playing the fox girl When I was good you threw me a bone But I ain't playing hot for nobody Girl just you wait 'til I get you home I'll show you the way to love somebody Like you've never ever been shown before Cause my love light's burning My whole life's yearning for you Hey Baby you were playing the part with Jimmy and Freddie You tried to make me look like a fool But I took care of Cindy and Susie Just to show you I can be twice as cool Baby If you want to learn how to love me I'll teach you in my own private school Cause my love love lights burning My whole life's yearning for you You met you your match When you play with my affection You met you your match When you tried to make me walk the line When you decided you would hurt me That's when your grape feel off the vine Your mama told me that I better be mellow She said you're just a baby maybe too green I told her Jimmy, Freddie, Teddy and Victor They know better Mama shake off that dream I told her that you were really cooking My love is burning for a turn at the steam Hey, cause My love light's burning My whole life's yearning for you You met your match When you told me you loved me You met your match When you told me that you wouldn't let go You met your match [X7] Baby You met your match [X7] Baby You met your match in me.. - I Wanna Make Her Love Me2:53

- Sunny3:10
Letra
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain. Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain. Oh, the dark days are done and the bright days are here, My sunny one shines so sincere. Oh, Sunny one so true, I love you. Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet. Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way. You gave to me your all and all, Now I feel ten feet tall. Oh, Sunny one so true, I love you. Sunny, thank you for the truth you've let me see. Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to Z. My life was torn like a windblown sand, Then a rock was formed when we held hands. Sunny one so true, I love you. Sunny, thank you for that smile upon your face. Sunny, thank you for that gleam that flows with grace. You're my spark of nature's fire, You're my sweet complete desire. Sunny one so true, I love you. - I'd Be a Fool Right Now2:53
