SOMEWHERE SOMETIME (From the motion picture "Flattered")

Words and music by Mike Petrone (BMI, Plan "C" Publishing) Copyright 2005.

Somewhere sometime
your lips and mine
are gonna choose
To be together for a while

It's in the stars
That shine in your eyes
And in mine
A constellation that we'll find
Somewhere sometime

Seems like our hands have decided
they will hoid each other tight
And i think our bodies do agree
It'd be real nice to spend the night

Somethings you know
go way beyond your self control
It's you and me it's destiny
Somewhere sometime



WENDY

Words and music by Mike Petrone (BMI, Plan "C" Publishing) Copyright 2005.

She will sit there waiting till the moments right
Making sure to never catch his eye
But everyone who's there knows that the game is on
And both will sit there talking all night long
Oh, you don't love her
No, you should leave her
Wendy, Wendy stay away from me
Wendy, Wendy stay away from me

Temting and pre-empting what he knows is right
A skinny straw just gliding through her teeth
her swinging leg that's brushing him so easily
turning up the laughter and the heat

Oh, you don't love her
No, you should leave her
Wendy, Wendy stay away from me
Wendy, Wendy stay away from me

(break)

The bed is made the dice are cast, she rings the bell
But when he sees her next it's a surprise
Sitting at the bar with someone else's guy
And using all those lines he knows so well

Oh, you don't love her
No, you should leave her
Wendy, Wendy stay away from me
Wendy, Wendy stay away from me



WHEN I STARTED KISSING YOU

Words and music by Mike Petrone (BMI, Plan "C" Publishing) Copyright 2005.

You and I
Into the darkness
Hand in hand
the stars surround us
I had a dream and it came true
When I startred kissing you
Miles away
From any problems
No one sees
No one bothers
The clouds withdraw
The moon shines through
When I started kissing you

Where did you come from ?
I don't care
Where are we going ? Anywhere
Why did you take so long to find me ?
Nevermind, just keep those arms around me.

Don't forget your promise to me
And I won't leave you
Till they unglue me
I found my favorite thing to do
When I started kissing you



BIG BOY

Words and music by Mike Petrone (BMI, Plan "C" Publishing) Copyright 2005.

He's a big boy now.
With an appetite.
For the pretty girls.
And the barroom fight.
And he don't do nothin.
Of what his Momma says.
And all the people say "wow!"
He's a big boy now.

He's a big boy now.
With his muscle arms.
And his swollen head.
And the firearms.
And you'd better not cross him.
Cause he'll hit you "Pow".
And all the people say "Wow!"
He's a big boy now.

(BREAK)

He's a big boy now
And he's angry too.
Cause his gals been caught.
With her lips on you.
And he's lookin' to whoop you.
Till you're black and blue
You'd better run and how.
He's a big boy now.



COMBINE (From the motion picture "Hard Pill")

Words and music by Mike Petrone (BMI, Plan "C" Publishing) Copyright 2005.

We have it.
I know it.
You're scared and...
So am I.
But I don't worry cause I know we'll be just fine>
Once, your lips and mine.
Combine.

We'll take it s,ow and easy.
We'll walk before we run.
We'll dance and talk this evening.
Then we'll.
Have fun.

Tonight will
Decide it.
We'll pass or we will fail.
But I don't worry cause i know we'll be just fine.
Once, you're lips and mine.
Combine.



COME AWAY WITH ME

Words and music by Mike Petrone (BMI, Plan "C" Publishing) Copyright 2005.

We're going out on the town tonight
Are you ready to take flight
Cause the mood and the time is right
We�re travelling on that road tonight
With the summer breezes whispering
Past the cars and the neon lights

Come away with me, To secret hidden places
That people want to find but miss the signs and faces
we'll take the lesser roads
and find the better spots
Off the beaten path
That everyone forgot

We're travelling on that road right now
We'll find a place somewhere somehow
That's just for you and me
Where no noe else will be
We're on the road to something
Who knows what it will be
Won't you come away with me



MAYBE SHE CAN FLY

Words and music by Mike Petrone (BMI, Plan "C" Publishing) Copyright 2005.

Ann is the kind who likes to dance. Usually by herself.
She doesn't care at all what anyone will think.
Watch her wave her arms.

It's always something to be right.
But maybe better to be wrong.
Too young, too old to care.
Too rich, too poor to mind.
Too tired of everything but,
Maybe she can fly.

See the people stare at her.
See they're all annoyed.
But no one says a word and she would never stop.
Watch her wave her arms.

It's always something to be right.
But maybe better to be wrong.
Too young, too old to care.
Too rich, too poor to mind.
Too tired of everything but
Maybe she can fly.

Making waves where there is no water.
Making wine though there are no grapes.
Holding court over all her subjects.
Taking off though she has no wings.

Too young, too old to care.
Too rich, too poor to mind.
Too tired of everything but.
Maybe she can fly.



ONE SINGLE MOMENT

Words and music by Mike Petrone (BMI, Plan "C" Publishing) Copyright 2005.

It can happen so fast in the blink of an eye
The flash of a light or the roll of the dice
It heaven will open and luck starts to smile
And everything changes if just for a while

In just a moment, one single moment
We'll find a now from a never
In just a moment, one single moment
She'll be in your arms a love forever

There's no way to tell when the tides gonna turn
Where the lightning will strike or the fuse starts to burn
And life's suddenly different and your world's blown away
And your eyes open up to a new kind of day

In just a moment, one single moment
We'll find a now from a never
In just a moment, one single moment
She'll be in your arms a love forever

Who know where the road leads or what the future holds
One tiny second and you've got it all
And the earth will shake and the ground will break
And you'll find the one

In just a moment, one single moment
We'll find a now from a never
In just a moment, one single moment
She'll be in your arms
she'll be in your arms
She'll be in your arms a love forever



SHH...I'LL MEET YOU IN CLEVELAND

Words and music by Mike Petrone (BMI, Plan "C" Publishing) Copyright 2005.

Oh darlin, where could we go for just a few days.
Where nobody knows us, a fine getaway.
Someplace that's right for dreamin' if you get my meanin'. Oh, yeah.
Pack your bags we're leavin' this evenin. Shh... I'll meet you in Cleveland.

New York is too crazy. Boston's uptight.
San Francisco's expensive, and Vegas ain't right.
Miami's too hot and I'm sure I'm not goin' to Greenland. Oh, no.
Pack your bags we're leavin' this evenin'. Shh... I'll meet you in Cleveland.

They say it's cold so I'll keep you warm at night.
They say it snows so the mood will be "oh, just right."
They say it's funny so we'll keep it our little secret honey. Oh, yeah.

The living is easy so we won't rush around.
It's just a little city, like a big small town.
And for just a few dollars we'll live like the crown prince of Sweden. Oh, yeah.
Pack your bags we're leavin' this evenin'. Shh... I'll meet you in Cleveland.

(BREAK)

The people are friendly, the ladies are hot.
The cocktail of choice... a beer and a shot.
And it's never as stuffy as Paris or formal like old London, England, oh no.
Pack your bags we're leavin' this evenin'. Shh... I'll meet you in Cleveland.



STARS

Words and music by Mike Petrone (BMI, Plan "C" Publishing) Copyright 2005.

I sit alone at night and stare out of my window
The cool wind blowing on my face
And there is no one who is next to me this evening
There's just a lot of empty space

But there are stars, stars in the sky
And out there somewhere I think somebody�s there
Lookin' up feelin' down, hopin' I'll come around
But now it's just my wish and all I have is stars in my eyes

My thoughts can wander off when silence starts to get it�s voice
and fills the room with heavy sound
And i imagine someone gazing at the stars tonight
Wondering who's up there who's around

But there are stars, stars in the sky
And out there somewhere I think somebody�s there
Lookin' up feelin' down, hopin' I'll come around
But now it's just my wish and all I have is stars in my eyes

Is it me on my own
No one else ever seems so alone
Is there some great disguise
To hide the stars in my eyes

Lookin' up feelin' down, hopin' I'll come around
But now it's just my wish and all I have is stars in my eyes



SOMEWHERE BEFORE

Words and music by Mike Petrone (BMI, Plan "C" Publishing) Copyright 2005.

It's a very strange thing, but I have this feeling of opening some hidden door
Cause I'm sure I remember, so much about you.
Like an echo from somewhere before.
Like I know you from somewhere before.

There's something about you. Something familiar.
The curve of your smile. The tone of your voice.
And I'm sure that I know it, as well as my name.
Like a tune I heard somewhere before.
Like I know you from somewhere before.

I guess it could be just a trick of the moment.
A memory from the past rearranged.
But maybe we we were friends a lifetime ago, and the feelings have not gone away.

It's a wonderful thing to meet for the first time and feel like you may have found gold.
Like a thing you remember that just makes you smile.
Like a love you knew somewhere before. Like we've done all this somewhere before.
(BREAK)

I guess it could be just a trick of the moment.
A memory from the past somehow changed.
But maybe we were lovers in a different age, and the feelings have not gone away.
It's a very odd thing, but I have this feeling of wanting to know even more.
Cause I'm sure that I know you as well as my name.
Like a love we had somewhere before. Like we've done all this somewhere before.



TAKE MY HAND

THAT MAGIC CHRISTMAS NIGHT (From the motion picture "Christmas at Maxwells")

Words and music by Mike Petrone (BMI, Plan "C" Publishing) Copyright 2005.

The street is a blanket white
And candles all burn bright.
Smiling faces all are home
The fireplace and mistletoe.
My hope is that the whole world knows
This magic Christmas night.

Little people tucked in bed.
Silent wishes all are met.
Dreams are sweet and spirits bright.
And troubles all seem out of sight.
My hope is that the world can find.
This magic Christmas night.

Falling snowflakes.
Santa's sleigh.
Hope and peace on earth that rings throughout the day.

Memories great and small
Of years you might recall.
Friends and family old and new.
Always there reminding you
That love is real and dreams come true this mgic Christmas night.
This Magic Christmas Night.



You don't know me. I didn't know you.
And we really had no reason to meet.
But I'm lucky, though we probably won't meet again.
Cause there's something good about you. Something in you that shines a light.
You're important but what do you say. With only seconds till you go away ?

Take my hand, for a moment. Take my hand, and hold it please.
And feel the warmth of someone who. Sees the world in you. wants the world for you.

Life is crazy. Always uncertain.
Who'd have thought that I'd be standing here now.
But I'm lucky for finding an angel like you.
Cause there's something good about you.
Something in you that shines a light.
You're important but what do say ? With only seconds till you go away.

Take my hand, for a moment.
Take my hand and hold it please.
And feel the warmth of someone who.
Sees the world in you. Wants the world for you.

You live so many days feeling alone and cold to people.
But then, there you are the beacon the star. That inspires me.
Take my hand, for a moment. Take my hand and hold it please.
And feel the warmth of someone who thinks the world of you.
Sees the world in you. Wants the world for you.



THE BALLAD OF JOHNNY'S DOWNTOWN

Words and music by Mike Petrone (BMI, Plan "C" Publishing) Copyright 2005.

Down in the city, Frankfort and Sixth
The valets are cool. They know that you'll tip
The wood is all polished
The price isn't cheap
But there's no better place to drink or to eat

Walkin'in there's a judge singing songs at the bar
And there's a lawyer right next to you wherever you are
In every city there's a joint where the deals go down
Where I live that joint is Johnny's Downtown
The heart of your city is a Johnny's downtown

Painted men, painted ladies
And sometimes a freak
All the movers and shakers. The mob and police.
Joe will cook it himself
And of course charge you double
For his finest champagne
You pay by the bubble
Cleveland Bob, Broadway George and the regular crew
Fenton, Charlie, Big Sam, Terry and Sue
Celebrities, ballplayers, politicians come through
And the staff makes you feel at home
They've all done time too

So if you want to impress cause your boss is in town
And your expense accounts primed up
For throwing around
Never fear cause the stories they don't get around
Cause what happens here stays here
At Johnny"s Downtown
What happens here stays here at Johnny"s Downtown.
