Forbidden Fruit
1.You want to taste it forbidden fruit
It's always nicer when it ripens on the vine, like it should.
Any time you want something that bad, that ain't good.
2.You can’t resist it, forbidden fruit
Talkin’ ‘bout temptation, everything is made of dreams
Disappears in a puff of smoke, only fools know what it means
3.& then you taste it, forbidden fruit
To my surprise, my slice on the side, tastes it too
Guess it’s time I told you, I been cheating on you

A Friend Like You
1.Everything that I thought I'd do
Got left behind when I found you
I ain’t never had a friend like you

2.Everyday when I go to town
See smiling faces as I walk around
But I never seen no-one like you
I never seen no-one like you
3.All the wrong words I used to say
Learning what they are day by day
They were never meant to upset you
Oh no, never meant to upset you
4.Is any body listening?
Is every body thinking
About a girl like you
About a girl like you
5.Taken me across the world
Showed me the light, told me Jesus word
I don’t deserve a friend like you
No I don’t deserve a friend like you
6.The healing oil that you give to me
The morning water that helps me see
Heal me from your heat it’s what you do
Heal me from your heat it’s what you do
7.All the pain that I feel today
I know tomorrow will have gone away
All I needed was a friend like you
All I needed was a friend like you
