NSIDE (Makoto/Siedah Garrett)How did you know where to look Others scratched the surface Then you read me like a book, NsideIt’s paradise that we’re friends You seem to understand me I sure don’t want this night to end Nside my loveNow my heart and soul won’t rest Until your by my side Help me please, I’m in distress Gotta have you here nside my loveChorus: Nside-feel you talk to me Nside-half the pressure half the speed Nside-you’ll do what I need Nside my loveYou are the touch that I hear Wake me when I’m sleepin’ I see your voice loud and clear Nside You’ve got a love so powerful Strength beyond condition…’cause it’s Stronger than the sea is blue It’s deeper than the tide You’re the light that shines so true You’re the one that reached nside my loveChorus: Wanna show you what love’s about Wanna rock you from the nside out Wanna fill your little heart with joy Wanna make you feel like a brand new boy Wanna love you like never before I’ll make it so you won’t need no more Nside nside Nside, my loveChorusC1985 Mako Music, adm by Quincy Jones d/b/a Rashida Music/ Quincy Jones d/b/a Rashida Music BMI/ Quincy Jones d/b/a Yellow Brick Road Music ASCAP

RICH MAN POOR MAN Philip Woo / Siedah Garrett Well, you finally see What it all means to me So much to leave behind What comes true for you And what comes true for me Happens in a different place and time Rich man or poor Which one has more It’s all the same it seems to me Rich man or poor Who gives us more The future is no guarantee ‘Cause it’s the plain truth You win, you lose, it’s even It’s all a game Rich man or poor Who’s keeping score It’s give and take all of the time Time takes away the pain that’s left inside You make your own heaven and paradise It’s something we all can do Chorus: Feel it, trust the way it feels inside Go on, go with what your heart says is right Feel it, trust the way it feels inside Go on, go on with what your heart says is right Well it’s alright by me The grass could be Much greener over on this side But the choices you make The chances you take You’ve got to live your own life ‘Cause it’s the same truth It doesn’t matter what you do Rich man or poor This heart wants more Than money could ever buy Time changes all there is to change in life You make your own heaven and paradise It’s something we all can do Chorus C1985 Woo Woo Music, adm by Quincy Jones d/b/a Yellow Brick Road Music/Quincy Jones d/b/a Yellow Brick Road Music ASCAP

DAY IN DAY OUT (Makoto/Siedah Garrett) Day in, Day out Day in, day out I never felt defenseless After all that I’ve been through Until I had the cause to fall, for someone like you I used to keep my heart in the pocket Of my favorite pair of jeans But since you been gone Love is far from me Chorus: I need you Day in, day out I’m always thinkin’ of you Each stop that I take is for you Day in, Day out You know I’ll always love you Each move that I make Always thought the memories Would in time fade into blur, but The feelings stay alive inside I miss what we wereWe knew too much to say to little ‘Bout the way love comes around But since you been gone, love is far from meChorusC1985 Mako Music, adm by Quincy Jones d/b/a Rashida Music/ Quincy Jones d/b/a Rashida Music/BMI/ Quincy Jones d/b/a Yellow Brick Road Music ASCAP

Tokio Dream (Makoto/Hiroyuki Shido/Philip Woo) Instrumental

FRAGILE—HANDLE WITH CARE (Siedah Garret/Robbie Nevil)Long ago it seems I gave my love awa Oh oh to someone on my side I didn’t realize that love could fade away Oh no—time tells allOnce a heart’s been torn apart It never really mends If all is fair in love then love Is where I should begin To trust in someone like before And make me whole inside again A gentle love’s What I need now To help me be strongChorus: Cause I’m fragile, handle with care My heart can break so easily — please understand That I’m fragile, handle with care Set me down so easy My love’s in your hands tonight I used to think that I could never love again Oh no — I couldn’t take the strain Then you came along and warmed me with your ways And oh oh — love after allOnce a heart’s been torn apart It still can love again ‘Cause all is fair in love and love Is where I should begin To trust in someone like before And make me whole inside again A gentle love’s what I need now So help me give it allChorusC 1985 Quincy Jones d/b/a Yellow Brick Road Music/NCA Music A Division of MCA, Inc.

MINDREADER (Paul Hlebcar/Peter Fujii)Deep inside I’m feeling so unsure I have made mistakes like this before Still your eyes they seem to tell me more What exactly are you looking forChorus:Gonna need a mindreader Just to clear this doubt Think I need a mindreader Just to help me out Seeing signs and signals everywhere Sexy dress and perfume in your hair Still I can’t be certain if you care That little voice inside me says beware Chorus All this caution, the modern way More than a game, the way we play Maybe it’s better now who’s to say All I can say isGonna need a mindreader Think I need a mindreader Chorus C 1985 Peter Fujii Music Publishing, adm by Quincy Jones d/b/a Rashida Music/BMI
