Side A: The Trouble with a Kiss
THE TROUBLE WITH A KISS by Greg Rank //A/C#m/Dmaj7/F#7/E7// I've known you for so long But the way you come and go each time Wrecks my mind Now your lips are calling for me Forgive me if I have to say I can't handle this you see THE TROUBLE WITH A KISS IS I want more Then we'll make love and I'll start to cry As you go walking out my door THE TROUBLE WITH A KISS IS I'll open up my heart And fool myself into thinking That this could be the start of love again I remember the day When I'd play this game But things are not the same I'm tired of feeling blue Can't trust the way I feel And though my lips are ready for you THE TROUBLE WITH A KISS IS I want more Then we'll make love and I'll start to cry As you go walking out my door THE TROUBLE WITH A KISS IS I'll open up my heart And fool myself into thinking That this could be the start of love again

Side B: Hey
Hey by Greg Rank They walk through my line each week Buying groceries for their families I think that some of them are crazy I see most of their kids They invite me to little league games And I don't even know their names I say Hey Hey Hey Here comes that man again Married 40 years to one woman He always looks so darn happy He shows me pictures of his wife He always want his food in plastic bags And he can't even read the price tags I say Hey Hey Hey They serve coffee and croissants At this grocery store restaurant My name is tattooed on my apron I stock the shelves each night People flash a smile at me I help those customers buy their groceries I say Hey Hey Hey
