Lyrics:
If I knew then, what I know now, I would never turn my back on you.

My heart has been broke a thousand times, I'll never fall in love again.

With a little love from the heart, I can be rescued.

She came to me from heaven above, taking my sins away.

She spread her wings all around me, falling in love again.

With a little love from the heart, I can be rescued.

Is it just a dream what you do to me or could it be the final destiny?

RITA  - lyrics

LOVELY RITA
I GOT YOUR MESSAGE
I WAS STANDING ALL ALONE, THINKING BOUT YOU MYSELF

LOVELY RITA, GLAD YOU NOTICE
I WAS THINKING BOUT YOU FOR SUCH A LONGTIME

LOVELY RITA, YOU'RE SO SPECIAL
WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE, THE WORLD LIGHTS UP WITH YOU

LOVELY RITA, I READ YOUR MESSAGE
IT TOUCHED ME SO DEEPLY, I KNOW I REALLY FEEL FOR YOU

LOVELY RITA, WON'T YOU COME QUICKLY
IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER, MAKES ME FEEL BETTER TOO

LOVELY RITA, YOU MAKE IT NICE AND EASY
WE STEP OUT OF THE WAY AND LET THE DANGER PASS THRU

I HOPE THE DREAMS AND PROMISES WE MADE HOLD TRUE
I HOPE YOU FIND THE LOVE IN ME, THAT I FIND IN YOU

LOVELY RITA, I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU
FOR THE GIFT OF LOVE, IS THE GIFT WE ALL NEED

LOVELY RITA, NOTHING SWEETER THEN
HAVING YOU WHISPER IN MY EAR YOUR CONFESSIONS OF LOVE

Lyrics: So In Love
Wake up in the morning, I'm so tired of looking at you
I used to love you baby, but I hate to say we're through
Stone cold sober I don't get along with you
Give me a bottle and I'm so in love with you

Looking over my shoulder when I turn my back on you
I tried and tried but there's nothing I can do
Hard to make it work, when I have no faith in you
I get a real bad feeling, times run out on you

Stone cold sober I don't get along with you
Give me a bottle and I'm so in love with you

You accomplished one thing, you broke my heart in two
Picking up the pieces is what I'll have to do
You can drink yourself silly with somebody new
Cause all is lost, I have to say goodbye to you

lyrics:
SHALLOW - BNI

You gotta sculptor, I got a pedestal
Let's build a monolith and tear it all down
You got the bones, I got the blood baby
Let's start a fire and burn the town down.

Done everything that I could do
You're so shallow, I'm on to you
It's not that easy to get out,
don't burn out ya shallow

You give me micro,I give you macro
What was a germ is now a disease
They'll make you walk on fire
They'll make you jump off a roof
They'll do what they do to get to you

Done everything that I could do
You're so shallow, I'm on to you
It's not that easy to get out,
don't burn out ya shallow

SHALLOW SHALLOW baby SHALLOW
SHALLOW SHALLOW baby SHALLOW

lyrics:

Money, Money, Money
I've got a winning ticket
Let's go out and play
I've got fun, you've got none
What'cha gonna do today?

Money buys you diamonds
or a Swiss Chalet
Spin green paper into gold
Save it for a rainy day

Money will make you happy
Oh oh so they say
Diamonds and gold , silver I'm told
Save it for a rainy day

I've got a winning ticket
Let's go out and play
I've got fun, you've got none
What'cha gonna do today?

I wasn't looking for trouble
hope it ain't looking for me
But cash is king better than bling
Save it for a rainy day

Money the root of evil
people stack it away
one for you, two for me
never gonna give it away.

Fall For you

BNI recorded this at HAIRBOMB Studio in Chicago and Sting Studio in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Mixed and produced by Craig Williams and BNI in Dr. CAW studio, Northbrook Illinois.   - summer 2020

BNI Bob wrote this song in 1987. It was always on live setlists throughout the BNI show and tour schedule. For some reason, we never thought to record it until now. BNI John, Bob, and Kev layered harmonies, great arrangement, and Craigs signature studio touches make this song a blast. We hope you like it too.
