Take Me In Your Arms (Rock Me A Little While) (2:55) - This fast song, my favorite of Kim's solo songs, features a tambourine. The narrator's lover is about to leave her, so she asks him to embrace her one last time.
Helpless (2:35) - The tempo is moderately fast. A tambourine plays here too, and a saxophone plays lead in the middle instrumental. The narrator is helpless, crying, confused, etc., because her boyfriend has left her. The only remedy for her situation is for him to come back to her.
Do Like I Do (2:22) - The tempo is moderate. I like the part where Kim sings, "He said that she said that they say that we said..." Conflict is bound to happen at least occasionally in every romantic relationship, and here the narrator tells her boyfriend what to do whenever a disagreement arises between them--remember that the next day they'll make up. Whenever they're apart and he's tempted to fling with other girls, she tells him not to touch them but instead to close his eyes and pretend she's nearby. She handles such situations in the same way.
I'm Still Loving You (2:48) - This moderately fast song features horns and orchestral string instruments. The narrator still loves the man even though he has left her. She writes a letter to him and then tears it up, for she knows that mailing it won't do any good. Try as she might, she can't get her mind off him.
A Little More Love (2:59) - This slow song features string instruments, a piano and a tambourine; the drums play in 12/8 time. The narrator begs the man to squeeze her hand, kiss her cheek, dry any tears she cries, etc., to show her that he's hers.
It Should Have Been Me (2:16) - Kim's yells reflect her character's anger that her boyfriend has dumped her and is now marrying someone new. When the preacher gives the guests their opportunity to voice any objections they have, the narrator shouts that she should have been the bride. I don't know why any bride or groom would invite anyone who is likely to object to a wedding, but I hope the narrator in this case didn't come uninvited.
Love Me All The Way (2:52) - This slow, 12/8 song features a piano and chimes. Kim sounds kind of mad here, too; her character warns the man that she's been deceived by false lovers before, so if he's gonna touch her or telephone her, he'd better have a permanent relationship in mind.
Looking For The Right Guy (2:27) - That's what every girl who lives to womanhood does (as long as she believes there IS a "right guy" for her). Some gals define "right" as wealthy, others define it as handsome, but the narrator defines the "right guy" as one who won't run around and will give her true love. The tempo is moderately fast. Hands clap on almost every second and fourth beat.
A Love Like Yours (Don't Come Knocking Every Day) (2:47) - This version, featuring chimes and a tambourine, has the same tempo as the original by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas.
Another Train Coming (2:01) - The tempo is slightly faster than moderate. The opening horn-and-drum measures hardly sound like a train, but those are appropriate instruments for giving such a sound effect. The narrator anticipated that someday her boyfriend would dump her, and now her prediction has come true. Instead of shedding a single tear, she tells him that he can never come back to her. The "other train" probably represents the opportunity she will soon have to love a new man.
Feel All Right Tonight (2:34) - This moderate-tempoed song features horns and a piano. The narrator feels good because she has just received a letter from her boyfriend, in which he says he is on his way home.
I'll Never See My Love Again (2:54) - The same instruments play here as in the previous song, but the tempo is slightly faster. And the mood is the opposite--the narrator is sad. She regrets having stayed away from him too long; she now begs someone to tell him she still loves him. Musically, this song resembles "Do Like I Do"; in fact, the same instrumental track was used for both songs.
A Thrill A Moment (2:59) - That's the highest rate of pleasure a loving couple can get, and that's just the kind of pleasure the narrator and her man get from the things they do and the plans they make together. This moderate-tempoed song opens with a drum solo resembling the clanking of pans.
Just Loving You (3:17) - The tempo is slow and in 12/8 time. Horns of all tones play, and the piano rolls rapidly and merrily. Simply loving the man makes the narrator's life worth living. Whenever she falls on hard times, he helps her cope. Thus, loving him is all she wants to spend the rest of her life doing.
Don't Compare Me With Her (2:41) - From the first several measures, it's hard to tell what the tempo will be for the rest of the song, but once the dominant tempo does start, it's moderately slow and in 12/8 time. Instruments include a piano and classical string instruments. The narrator tells her boyfriend that he shouldn't try to mold her into what his previous girlfriend used to be. She can heal the wounds his previous girlfriend had inflicted on his heart, but only if he'll accept the narrator the way she is and start focusing on the narrator.
Go Ahead And Laugh (2:55) - Here's another slow, 12/8 song with horns and a piano. The narrator tells her boyfriend that he can laugh at her crying if he wants to, but he must remember that she sincerely loves him and would give him true love if he would just treat her better.
