1. For Your Precious Love (with the Impressions) (2:39) - The narrator of this slow song is so lonely that he'd do anything for the girl's love. Despite other people's skepticism, he has faith that their relationship will last forever and be "deeper than any sea." This is a nice song for a loving couple to dance to.
2. He Will Break Your Heart (2:43) - This song, slightly faster than moderate, is my favorite of Jerry's songs. In fact, when I first heard it, I thought the title was "He Don't Love You." The narrator is about to lose his girlfriend to a handsome but deceptive man. He warns her of the other guy's dark motives and promises to be around for her when her new guy leaves her. I like how the other guy's behavior is likened to a drama.
3. Moon River (2:37) - This song, slightly slower than moderate, features a harmonica. The river, "wider than a mile," is probably the Mississippi River, especially at the mouth by New Orleans. I've also heard a version of this song in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's, starring Audrey Hepburn.
4. Make It Easy On Yourself (2:35) - Here's another goodie. The tempo is moderately slow. The girl has met a new man, and the narrator knows it. She's afraid of hurting his feelings, but he will cry no matter what. So he asks her to tell him goodbye and run to her new man before she cries also. This song was later a hit for the Walker Brothers.
5. Let It Be Me (with Betty Everett) (2:48) - This version is slow, but slightly faster than the Everly Brothers' version. Jerry and Betty sing all the verses together. In the bridge, she sings the lines "Each time...I find..." and he sings the lines "Without your...what would..." Those two sound so good together; I like this version even better than the Everlys'.
6. Hey Western Union Man (2:45) - The fast tempo matches the narrator's desperation to get a telegram to the girl whom he loves and who has deserted him. He begs the messenger to send a telegram that says how much the narrator misses the girl; perhaps flowers and/or candy could accompany it to make it more persuasive.
7. Only The Strong Survive (2:36) - The tempo is slow during the verses, with the drums, chimes and other instruments playing kind of softly; the chorus tempo is somewhat faster than moderate. The narrator passes on advice given to him by his mother at a time when he was depressed over a love gone wrong. She told him that troubles were bound to happen to him every now and then, but if he would be strong he could overcome them. "You gotta be a man, you gotta take a stand," she admonished him.
8. What's The Use Of Breaking Up (2:36) - This moderately fast song features chimes and horns, and female backup singers who sing "hey baby" a few times during the verses. One day the narrator's girlfriend tells him she's had enough of their relationship, but the next day she phones him and wants to reconcile. Another time, he's the one who walks out but later comes back. He believes they should stop breaking up since then they "just turn around and make up."
9. I Wanna Do It To You (3:42) - This song has a moderate tempo. Instruments include horns and orchestral strings, but they play kind of softly. Jerry sings in a soft tone most of the time also; the character he plays is grateful to have met his girlfriend. When they met, she lifted him out of depression and changed his life. She makes him feel good, and he wants to make her feel good also.
10. Chalk It Up (6:10) - This song has a moderate disco tempo. It has a similar theme to "Only The Strong" since the narrator tells the girl that whenever a romantic relationship fails, she shouldn't sit and cry, but instead "chalk it up to experience," i.e., realize that a new and better man awaits her. Starting at 4:41, Jerry speaks for a minute in a low, charming voice, telling us there's someone for everyone and that we're "too fine and healthy" to waste our time crying over love gone wrong.
11. The Devil In Mrs. Jones (3:11) - The fast tempo and loud horns accompany the story of a guy whose willpower is weakened by Mrs. Jones' beauty and advances. He so strongly desires her that he's "ready for the worst" and willing to risk a lifetime of sorrow for an hour of passion.
