1.	Rough Draught 02:52	lyrics
She said, "I'll tickle your fancy" She said, "I'll make you feel fine "We'll keep it our little secret "Just do it this one time." She said, "No need to romance me "I'll be right here at your whim. "I will help you sleep easy; "I am your new best friend." Chorus "You can hide me in your pocket, "You can forget my name "Do it on your own time, "There's no need to feel shame. "No strings attached, "This isn't love, it's a game." You kept me guessing your schedule Said you were just working late I'm breaking down in the kitchen Are your eyes blue or grey? Chorus Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah Wah wah wah wah wah wah Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah Wah wah wah wah wah wah Wah wah wah wah, Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah waaah Chorus
2.	Huckleberry 03:32	lyrics
Fresh sheets but the pillow's stained Windowsill dewy and streaked with rain I always thought my mood controlled the weather Nose pressed against the window pane, She hit a parked car, didn't say a thing Tried to get me to sing along to Apple Bottom Jeans Chorus: Stay with me my love, my baby Who will keep me dry? Stay with me my Huckleberry; Leave me and I'll die, I'll die Putting blankets on his car Making arrows out of stars, Oh, the arrow's there, But it's got nothing to point to Waterfalls and spider bites, How he carried me two miles Telling jokes his dad told him, They're stupid, yeah, but they made me grin, oh Chorus While I beg and plead for you To love me like you used to do The heart that beats for you receives the truth That this is how it must conclude Chorus
3.	Royal Flush 04:24	lyrics
Try to keep your head on straight Keep your heart off of your sleeve If it's love, it's worth the wait So why not let it be Stay your mind on things above There's nothing you can do right now If it's God, and if it's love, You couldn't stop it anyhow But, oh, wouldn't it be nice to love somebody Oh, wouldn't it be nice to love So, I will let the dice fall down And land where they may Keep my cards close to my chest Until I'm certain I can play But, oh, wouldn't it be nice to love somebody Oh, wouldn't it be nice to love Oooooooh, ooh ooooooh's.
4.	Let Somebody In 03:04	lyrics
Hold tight, brighter days are just ahead Don't fight, you know this is for the best A new day is about to begin, To love you've got to let somebody in Chin up, it's the darkest 'fore the dawn Loose grip, there's no need to be so strong There's still hope for you yet, you're just a kid But to love you've gotta let somebody in Love is hard, it isn't easy Maybe in part that's why it's appealing Love is hard, it isn't easy Maybe in part, that's why it's so freeing Break free, nothing's stopping you now You'll see, wipe those worries from your brow Stop playing games you know you'll never win 'Cause to love, you've gotta let somebody in
5.	Hug You Like A Bear 03:52
