"East Side Story"

 

There was this girl I used to see - down on 42nd street

She'd walk by on her way to work - n' make the air smell so sweet

I used to sit in a coffee shop - sometimes I'd have a cup

And when she'd go by - she'd light up the sky

Like the sun coming up

She be standin' by the bus stop - driver opened up the door

I'd just sit n' watch her - getting on the 104

I wanna give her my number - I wanna tell her my name

Wanna climb on board that cross-town bus

Take a chance she feels the same

It's just another east side story

Everybody's got a tale to tell

And like a hundred guys before me

I fell under her spell

Some things you hold on to - some you just let go

Seems like the ones that you can't have

Are the ones that you want most

I think about her sometimes - I wonder if she was real

And if I ever find her I'm gonna tell her how I feel

It's just another east side story

Everybody's got a tale to tell and like a hundred guys before me

I fell under her spell

It's still the same old story - it's still the same old game

Up there on the eastside - life goes on the same

She never knew my number - never even knew my name

She climbed on board that cross-town bus I never saw her again

 

 

 

"This Side Of Paradise"

 

 

I'm ridin' in the back seat - nine years old

Starin' out the window countin' the highway poles

And then I get to thinkin' - that it don't seem real

I'm flyin' through the universe in a '69 oldsmobile

And I wanna know what they're not tellin'

And I don't wanna hear no lies

I just want something to believe in

Ah - it's a lonely lonely road I'm on

This side of paradise

I'm ridin' in the back seat - black limousine

Starin' out the window at a funeral scene

And then I get to thinkin' - and it don't seem right

I'm sittin' here safe and sound and someone I love is gone tonight

I wanna know what they're not tellin'

And I don't wanna hear no lies

I just want something to believe in

Ah - it's a lonely, lonely road we're on

This side of paradise

There ain't no crystal ball - there ain't no santa claus

There ain't no fairy tales

There ain't no streets of gold

There ain't no chosen few - ya it's just me and you

And that's all we got ya...that's all we got to hold on to

Ya this side of paradise

I remember bein' a little boy in the backseat - nine years old

Always askin' questions - never did what I was told

And then I get to thinkin' like I always do

We wander 'round in the darkness but every now and then

A little light shines through

I want to know what they're not telling

I don't wanna hear no lies

I just want something to believe in

Ah - it's a lonely lonely road we're on

This side of paradise

 

 

 

"Not Romeo Not Juliet"

 

 

This is story about a boy and girl

Trying find a life in the big world

Somehow they're together

There ain't much to the mystery

Misery loves company

She just waves her hand and says whatever

Well this ain't love this ain't love this ain't love at all

And he says...

We're not Romeo we're not Juliet

Hw long does it take to fill this emptyness

We're just two lost souls and baby we got no regrets

We don't wanna say bye-bye

Babe it's just you and I

We're not Romeo we're not Juliet

He ain't pretty with his hard old heart

Second generation immigrant scars

And he knows that this ain't heaven - no

She's all skinny like a cigarette

And he's the only thing - the only thing that she respects

And he's trying to make it better

This ain't love this ain't love this ain't love at all

And she says...

We're not Romeo - not Juliet

You'd thought you'd seen it all - but you ain't seen nothin' yet

We're just two lost souls and baby we got no regrets

Now it's just you and I

We're nothin' unless we try

We're not Romeo - not Juliet

It has feel right but it never does

It has to be perfect but it never is

You wanna be sure but you never do

We're not Romeo or Juliet - it's just me and you

Ya it's just you and I

We're nothin' unless we try - oh no

We're not Romeo - not Juliet

No we're not - that's a fact

 

 

 

"Flying"

 

If you ever feel like you're gonna fall - oh I'll be there

And if you ever feel down or feel small - oh don't despair

And if you ever feel lost or feel alone - babe c'mon home

Let's just make love - all night

Let's just hold on - so tight

Let's make it last - for life

I won't let you go

Ya we're flying - feels just like flying

We're such a long way up - from the ground

Just u and me flying - so high 'n I'm never gonna come down

Every time you turn around and wanna run - oh come to me

When every little dream comes undone - oh don't worry

Let's just make love - all night

Let's just hold on - so tight

Let's make it last - for life

I won't let you go

Ya we're flying so high and:

We're never gonna come down:you and me

 

 

 

"She's A Little Too Good For Me"

 

 

She got the brains - she got the looks

She knows all the right people - reads all the right books

She's got my name - she's got my number

But what she see's in me I sometimes wonder

She's a little too good for me

She's gonna change me if I let her

She's a little too good for me

But I'm getting better

I'm just a guy - I'm just me

I'm happy with my feet up on the table - in front of my TV

We're world's apart - we're night and day

She's dinner by candle light - I'm just a take-a-way

She's a little too good for me

She's gonna change me if I let her

She's a little too good for me

But I'm getting better

She's says I do something to her

All her friends say I'm a loser

 

 

 

"Open Road"

 

 

I'm sitting at the wheel

I got a green light

Not afraid of nothin' cuz heart and soul

I'm built for life

So let the engine roar

Push the pedal down

I want the white lines on the highway

To lead me out of town

I'm rolling on and on and on

Who knows where I'm goin'?

Life is an open road - it's the best story never told

It's an endless sky - it's the deepest sea

Life is an open road to me

Life is an open road to me

I got headlights to guide me thru the night

I got the window down and the radio playing

It makes me feel alive

 

 

 

"Room Service"

 

 

When a hotel room's the closest thing you got to home

You could be in Philadelphia you could even be in Rome

You gotta dial nine to get an outside line

I even need a concierge just to take a drive - it's a crazy life

I hope to see you smile - but I'm always wrong

It's a different melody but the same old song...

Ya I've been on the road nearly all my life

Been around the world 'bout a thousand times

Still a knock on the door makes me nervous

I think I'll see you standing there - but no

It's only room service - ya room service

I've been living out my suitcase as long as I remember

Life's the same - it doesn't change - it's a gibson or a fender

I still think about you babe - I swear sometimes I see your face

These are crazy days

Ya I think I hear your voice - but it's just a dream

It's a brand new movie but the same old scene

Ya I've been on the road nearly all my life

Been around the world 'bout a thousand times

Still a knock on the door makes me nervous

I think I'll see you standing there - but no

It's only room service - ya room service

Ya know I wouldn't change a thing - no

I'm just waiting for the bell in room to ring

I hope to see you smile - but I'm always wrong

It's a different melody but the same old song...

 

 

 

"I Was Only Dreamin'"

 

 

She left her shoes out on the beach

She left my dreams just out of reach

She left her footprints in the sand

She was a bird right in the hand

I met a girl that made me laugh

She left a faded photograph

I thought I heard a siren song

I sang along but I was...

I was only dreamin'

I was only dreamin'

Visions in my head

Talkin in my sleep

Turning in my bed

Life was so complete

Her shoes were on the beach

But I was only dreamin'

I met a girl that talked in rhyme

I met a girl who took her time

I saw the ocean in her eyes

I saw myself unrecognized

And all the stars up in the sky

Fell down like rain and made me cry

I held the world right in my hands

I held her close but I was...

 

 

 

 

"Right Back Where I Started From"

 

 

You don't know what you got - until you lose it

And I can testify that that's the truth

I had it all and didn't know how to use it

I was so stupid - it was right before my eyes

I've been looking all my life

Waiting for the perfect time

Never knew that I would find it

Right back where I started from

Why'd I have to go so far

When everything was where you are

How'd I know that you be waiting

Right back where I started from

Who can tell ya where the rivers flowin'

Just ride the wave - let it take ya down

All the twists and turns I navigated

It's so frustratin' you were there all the time

I've been looking all my life

Waiting for the perfect time

Never knew that I would find it

Right back where I started from

Why'd I have to go so far

When everything was where you are

How'd I know that you be waiting

Right back where I started from...oh where I started from

I know where I'm headed to - it's right back where I've been

 

 

 

"Nowhere Fast"

 

 

We're always on the run these days

We hardly have the time to say

What matters most of all

Ya you've always been the only one

The only one to make me run

Anytime you call

Let's not talk about the future

Let's not talk about the days gone past

All this time - we've been runnin' round in circles

I can feel a change a comin'

And I know we're gonna make it last

From now on - we'll be goin' somewhere slowly

Instead of going nowhere fast

When everything has come and gone

We'll look back on this road we're on

And see how far we've come (ya we've come a long way)

Faster than the days go by

I know we're gonna make them last

Instead of goin' nowhere fast

 

 

 

"Why Do You Have To Be So Hard To Love"

 

 

 

Was it some man that didn't treat you right

Left you reaching out for him in the middle of the night

Is there some heartache that you can't out run

That makes you so afraid to get close to anyone

You're so - easy to look at

You're so easy to hold

It's so easy to touch you - but so hard to let go

It's so easy to want you - that I can't get enough

Tell me why do ya have to be

Why do ya have to be so hard to love

Is it some hurt from long ago

That makes it so hard to let your feelings show

Is it the ghost of who you used to be

That makes you so afraid to bear your soul to me

 

 

"Blessing In Disguise"

 

 

Are you lonely - are you crying

are those teardrops in your eyes

is it more blues - is it bad news

is it a curse, or a blessing in disguise

did you leave him - do you love him

have you said your - said your last goodbyes

is it over - are you sorry

could it be a blessing in disguise

it's the scars that make you stronger

it's the hard times that make you wise

it's the sweet things only time brings

that arrive like a blessing in disguise

clouds toll by and bring the rain

tears will dry, and ease the pain

are you lonely - are you crying

are those teardrops in your eyes

is it more blues - is it bad news

is it a curse, or a blessing in disguise

"I Will Always Return"

 

 

I hear the wind call your name

It calls me back home again

It sparks up the fire - a flame that still burns

Oh it's to you I'll always return

I still feel your breath on my skin

I hear your voice deep within

The sound of my lover - a feeling so strong

It's to you - I'll always belong

 

Now I know it's true

My every road leads to you

And in the hour of darkness darlin'

Your light gets me through

 

Wanna swim in your river - be warmed by your sun

Bathe in your waters - cos you are the one

I can't stand the distance - I can't dream alone

I can't wait to see you - Ya I'm on my way home

 

Oh I hear the wind call your name

The sound that leads me home again

It sparks up the fire - a flame that still burns

Oh, it's to you - I will always return

 

 

 

 

"You Can't Take Me"

 

 

Got to fight another fight - I gotta run another night

Get it out - check it out

I'm on my way and I don't feel right

I gotta get me back - I can't be beat and that's a fact

It's OK - I'll find a way

You ain't gonna take me down no way

Don't judge a thing until you know what's inside it

Dont' push me - I'll fight it

Never gonna give in - never gonna give it up no

If you can't catch a wave then your'e never gonna ride

You can't come uninvited

Never gonna give in - never gonna give up no

You can't take me I'm free

 

Why did it all go wrong? - I wanna know what's going on

And what's this holding me?

I'm not where I supposed to be

I gotta fight another fight

I gotta fight will all my might

I'm getting out , so check it out

Ya, you're in my way

So you better watch out

 

 

 

 

"Get Off My Back"

 

 

Well you think that you can take me on

You must be crazy

There ain't a single thing you've done

That's gonna phase me

Oh, but if you want to have a go

I just want to let you know

Get off my back and into my game

Get out of my way and out of my brain

Get outta my face or give it you best shot

I think it's time you better face the fact

Get off my back

 

You know it's all just a game that I'm playing

Don't think that you can't find a way in

That's what I'm saying

Oh if you want to have a go

I just want to let you know...

 

 

 

"Don't Let Go"

(feat. Sarah McLachlan)

 

I can't believe this moment's come

It's so incredible that we're alone

There's so much to be said and done

It's impossible not to be overcome

Will you forgive me if I feel this way

Cuz we've just met - tell me that's OK

So take this feeling'n make it grow

Never let it - never let it go

(Dont let go of the things you believe in)

You give me something that I can believe in

(Dont' let go of this moment in time)

Go of this moment in time

(Don't let go of things that you're feeling)

I can't explain the things that I'm feeling

(Dont' let go)

No, I won't let go

 

Now would you mind if I bared my soul

If I came right out and said your'e beautiful

Cuz there's something here I can't explain

I feel I'm diving into driving rain

You get my senses running wild

I can't resist your sweet, sweet smile

So take this feeling'n make it grow

Never let it - never let it go

 

[Chorus:]

I've been waiting all my life

To make this moment feel so right

The feel of you just fills the night

So c'mon - just hold on tight

 

 

 

 

"This Is Where I Belong"

 

 

I hear the wind across the plain

A sound so strong - that calls my name

It's wild like the river - it's warm like the sun

Ya it's here - this is where I belong

 

Under the starry skies - where eagles have flown

This place is paradise - it's the place I call home

The moon on the mountains

The whisper through the trees

The waves on the water

Let nothing come between this and me

 

Cuz everything I want - is everything that's here

And when when we're all together - there's nothing to fear

And wherever I wander - the one thing I've learned

It's to here - I will always....always return

 

 

Here I Am (End Title)*

 

Here I am - this is me

There's no where else on earth I'd rather be

Here I am - it's just me and you

And tonight we make our dreams come true

 

It's a new world - it's a new start

It's alive with the beating of young hearts

It's a new day - it's a new plan

I've been waiting for you

Here I am

 

Here we are - we've just begun

And after all this time - our time has come

Ya here we are - still goin' strong

Right here in the place where we belong

 

[Chorus]

Here I am - next to you

And suddenly the world is all brand new

Here I am - where I'm gonna stay

Now there's nothin standin in our way

Here I am - this is me

 

 

 

"Sound The Bugle"

 

 

Sound the bugle now - play it just for me

As the seasons change - remember how I used to be

Now I can't go on - I can't even start

I've got nothing left - just an empty heart

 

I'm a soldier - wounded so I must give up the fight

There's nothing more for me - lead me away...

Or leave me lying here

 

Sound the bugle now - tell them I don't care

There's not a road I know - that leads to anywhere

Without a light feat that I will - stumble in the dark

Lay right down - decide not to go on

 

Then from on hight - somewhere in the distance

There's a voice that calls - remember who your are

If you lose yourself - your courage soon will follow

 

So be strong tonight - remember who you are

Ya you're a soldier now - fighting in abattle

To be free once more -Ya that's worth fighting for

 

 

 

 

 

"Nothing I've Ever Known"

 

 

 

Right now I feel - just like a leaf on a breeze

Who knows where it's blowin'

Who knows where it's goin'

I find myself somewhere I - I never thought I'd be

Going round in circles

Thinking about you and me

How do I expalin it when I don't know what to say

What do I do now - so much has changed

 

Nothing I have ever known - has made me feel this way

Nothing I have ever seen - has made me want to stay

but here I am - ready for you

I'm turnin', I'm fallin' - I hear my home callin'

Hey - I've never felt somethin's so strong - oh no

I'ts like nothing I've ever known

 

Now you're the one I'm looking for

You're the one I need

You're the one that gives me - a reason to believe

Following a star - has lead to where you are

It feels so stong now - this can't be wrong now

 

 

 

 

"I Will Always Return (Finale)"

 

 

I hear the wind call your name

The sound that leads me home

It sparks up the fire - a flame that still burns

To you I'll always return

I know the road is long but where you are is home

Wherever you stay - I'll find a way

I'll run like a river - I'll follow the sun

I'll fly like an eagle - to where I belong

 

I can't stand the distance - I can't dream alone

I can't wait to see you - Yes I'm on my way home

 

Now I know it's true

My every road leads to you

And in the hour of darkness darlin'

Your light gets me through

 

You run like a river - you shine like the sun

You fly like an eagle

You are the one I've seen every sunset

And with all that I've learned

Oh it's to you - I will always return

nursing a broken heart

I got my motor runnin' - fingers drummin'

I never planned to stay

getaway - ya know it's now or never

getaway - nobody lives forever

we're only waitin' just to make you getaway

When You're Gone*

 

 

 

I've been wandering around the house all night

wondering what the hell to do

Yeah, I'm trying to concentrate but all I can think of is you

well the phone don't ring 'cause my friends ain't home

I'm tired of being all alone

Got the tv on 'cause the radio's playing

songs that remind me of you

 

Baby when you're gone, I realize I'm in love

days go on and on, and the nights just seem so long

Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should

things just feel so wrong, baby when you're gone

 

I keep driving up and down these streets

trying to find somewhere to go

Yeah i'm looking for a familiar face, but there's no one I know

oh, this is torture, this is pain, it feels like I'm gonna go insane

I hope you're coming back real soon, 'cause i don't know what to do

 

Baby when you're gone, I realize I'm in love

days go on and on, and the nights just seem so long

Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should

things just feel so wrong, baby when you're gone

 

Baby when you're gone, I realize I'm in love

days go on and on and the nights just seem so long

Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should

things just feel so wrong, baby when you're gone

 

 

 

Cloud Number Nine*

 

 

clue number one was when you knocked on my door

clue number two was the look that you wore

n' that's when i knew it was a pretty good sign

that something was wrong up on cloud number nine

 

well it's a long way up and we won't come down tonight

well it may be wrong but baby it sure feels right

 

and the moon is out and the stars are bright

and whatever comes s'gonna be alright

cause tonight you will be mine - up on cloud number nine

and there ain't no place that i'd rather be

and we can't go back but you're here with me

yeah, the weather is really fine - up on cloud number nine

 

now he hurt you and you hurt me

and that wasn't the way it was supposed to be

so baby tonight let's leave the world behind

and spend some time up on cloud number nine

 

well it's a long way up and we won't come down tonight

well it may be wrong but baby it sure feels right

 

well we won't come down tonight

ya we won't come down tonight

no we won't come down tonight

 

we can watch the world go by - up on cloud number nine

 

 

 

 

"Inside Out"

 

 

the biggest lie you ever told - your deepest fear 'bout growin' old

the longest night you ever spent - the angriest letter you never sent

the boy you swore you'd never leave - the one you kissed on new years's eve

the sweetest dream you had last night -- your darkest hour, your hardest fight

 

I wanna know you - like I know myself

I'm waitin' for you - there ain't no one else

talk to me baby - scream and shout

I want to know you - inside out

I wanna dig down deep - I wanna lose some sleep

I wanna scream and shout - I wanna know you inside out

I wanna take my time - I wanna know your mind

ya know there ain't no doubt - I wanna know you inside out

 

the saddest song you ever heard - the most you said with just one word

the loneliest prayer you ever prayed - the truest vow you ever made

what makes you laugh, what makes you cry what makes you mad, what gets you by

you highest hight, your lowest low - these things I want to know

 

I wanna know you - like I know myself

I'm waitin' for you - there ain't no one else

talk to me baby - scream and shout

I want to know you - inside out

I wanna dig down deep - I wanna lose some sleep

I wanna scream and shout - I wanna know you inside out

I wanna take my time - I wanna know your mind

ya know there ain't no doubt - I wanna know you inside out

I wanna know your soul - I wanna lose control

c'mon n' let it out - I wanna know you inside out

ya gotta dig down deep - I wanna lose some sleep

I wanna scream and shout - I wanna know you inside out

tell me everything...

 

 

 

 

"If I Had You"

 

 

if i was blind - you could make me see

if i was down - you could comfort me

well i ain't got a lot - but what i got is true

there's nothihg that i can't do - if i had you

 

i could walk on water - i could dance on air

go any place - go anywhere

could climb the empire stat - and the rockies too

there's nothihg that i can't do -if i had you

 

if i had you - for what else could pray?

if i had you - i could make my way

the sun is up - the sky is blue

there's nothing that i can't do - if i had you

 

if i had you, - for what else could i plead?

if i had you - i'd have all i need

the sun is up - the sky is blue

there's nothing that i can't do - if i had you

there's nothing that i can't do - if i had you

 

 

 

 

 

"I Don't Wanna Live Forever"

 

 

all i want is a real fast car

i wanna go too fast - i wanna go too far

i wanna take a bite of this sweet sweet life

while the gettin' is good and the time right

i wanna fill my cup - i wanna drink it up.

 

i don't wanna live forever

i just wanna go for broke

gonna ride thru any kind of weather

go out in a cloud of smoke

i don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

 

all i need is a good excuse

you can cut my reins and turn me loose

i'm gonna pull my weight i'm gonna push my luck

i'm gonna go down fightin' when my time is up

you know i don't care - i'm gonna get my share.

 

i don't wanna live forever

i just wanna go for broke

gonna ride thru any kind of weather

go out in a cloud of smoke

i don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

 

i wanna fill my cup - i wanna drink it up

ya - i don't care i wanna get my share

 

i don't wanna live forever...

 

 

 

 

 

"Where Angels Fear To Tread"

 

 

well i'm wrapped around your finger

i'm never letting go

you know i'm happy just to linger

and let the feeling flow

 

this must be an illusion

i know this can't be real

but right here and right now

this is paradise i feel

 

i never thought i'd find someone to move me

someone who could see right thru me

you found your way into my head

where even angels fear to tread

 

don't wanna go out walkin

don't wanna take a drive

don't wanna move from this sweet spot baby

while this feelin's still alive

 

the way we fit together

it's like we're meant to be

and right here and right now

this is paradise to me

 

 

 

 

 

"Lie To Me"

 

 

I walkde in - you walked out

i knew right then - something was up

ya said 'don't ask me no questions - won't tell ya no lies'

it comes as such a surprise

think i'll close my eyes- to the pain

cuz tonight in don't wanna know where you've bin

 

so won't you lie to me

then i can't be mistaken

swear that you will lie to me

i don't wanna hear my heart breakin'

 

tell me things that i wanna hear

i don't give a ###### if you and't sincere

baby just swear (baby just swear)

swear that you'll lie (swear that you'll lie) to me

 

you walked in - i walked out

baby t6his ain't waht - we've bin about

if i touched your hand - would ya pull it away

was it something i didnd't say

i forgive ya all - the same

but tonight i dont' wanna know where you've bin

 

[chorus]

 

you can't say the things you want

i won't let ya tell the truth

cuz i don't (cut i dont) give a ###### (give a ######)

and I don't (and i don't) wanna know where you've bin.

The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You*

 

I dont look good in no armani suits

No gucci shoes - or designer boots

Ive tried the latest lines from a to z

But theres just one thing that looks good on me

 

The only thing I want

The only thing I need

The only thing I choose

The only thing that looks good on me...is you

 

Im not satisfied with versace style

Put those patent leather pants - in the circular file

Sometimes I think - I might be lookin good

But theres only one thing that fits me like it should

 

The only thing I want

The only thing I need

The only thing I choose

The only thing that looks good on me...is you

 

Ya its you - it could only be you

Nobody else will ever do

Ya baby its you - that I stick to

Ya we stick like glue

 

The only thing I want

The only thing I need

The only thing I choose

The only thing that looks good on me...is you

 

 

Do To You*

 

 

 

Look into my eyes - you will see

What you mean to me

Search your heart - search your soul

And when you find me there you'll search no more

 

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for

You know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you

 

Look into your heart - you will find

There's nothin' there to hide

Take me as I am - take my life

I would give it all - I would sacrifice

 

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for

I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more

Ya know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you

 

There's no love - like your love

And no other - could give more love

There's nowhere - unless you're there

All the time - all the way

 

Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more

I would fight for you - I'd lie for you

Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you

 

Ya know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you

 

 

Let's Make A Night To Remember*

 

 

I love the way ya look tonight

With your hair hangin' down on your shoulders

N' I love the way ya dance your slow sweet tango

The way ya wanna do everything but talk

And how ya stare at me with those undress me eyes

Your breath on my body makes me warm inside

 

Let's make out - let's do something amazing

Let's do something that's all the way

Cuz I've never touched somebody like the way I touch

your body

Now I never want to let your body go...

 

Let's make a night - to remember

From January - to December

Let's make love - to excite us

A memory - to ignite us

Let's make honey baby - soft and tender

Let's make sugar darlin' - sweet surrender

Let's make a night - to remember - all life long

 

I love the way ya move tonight

Beads of sweat drippin' down your skin

Me lying here - n' you lyin' there

Our shadows on the wall and our hands everywhere

 

Let's make out - let's do something amazing

Let's do something that's all the way

Cuz I've never touched somebody like the way I touch

your body

Now I never want to let your body go...

 

Let's make a night - to remember

From January - to December

Let's make love - to excite us

A memory - to ignite us

Let's make honey baby - soft and tender

Let's make sugar darlin' - sweet surrender

Let's make a night - to remember - all life long

 

I think about ya all the time

Can't you see you drive me outta my mind

Well I'm never holdin' back again

Ya I never want this night to end

Cuz I've never touched somebody like the way I touch

your body

Now I never want to let your body go...

 

 

 

18 Til I Die*

 

 

 

Wanna be young - the rest of my life

Never say no - try anything twice

Til the angels come - and ask me to fly

Gonna be 18 til I die - 18 til I die

Can't live forever - that's wishful thinkin'

Who ever said that - must of bin' drinkin'

Don't wanna grow up - I don't see why

I couldn't care less if time flies by

 

18 til I die - gonna be 18 til I die

Ya it sure feels good to be alive

Someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55! - 18 til I die

 

Anyway - I just wanna say

Why bother with what happened yesterday

It's not my style - I live for the minute

If ya wanna stay young - get both

feet in it - 18 til I die

A 'lil bit of this - a 'lil bit of that

'Lil bit of everything - gotta get on track

It's not how ya look, it's what ya feel inside

I don't care when - I don't need ta know why

18 til I die - gonna be 18 til I die

Ya it sure feels good to be alive

Someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55! - 18 til I die

Ya there's one thing for sure - I'm sure gonna try

 

Don't worry 'bout the future

Forget about the past

Gonna have a ball - ya we're gonna have a blast

Gonna make it last

 

Star*

 

 

What cha wanna be - when you grow up

What cha gonna do - when your time is up

What cha gonna say - when things go wrong

What cha wanna do - when you're on your own

 

There's a road - long and winding

The lights are blindin' - but it gets there

Don't give up - don't look back

There's a silver linin' - it's out there somewhere

Everybody wants an answer - everybody needs a friend

We all need a shinin' star on which we can depend

N' so tonight we're gonna wish upon a star

We never wished upon before - (to find what you're

looking for)

There'll be times - in your life

Ya when you' be dancin' n' ###### - but you ain't gettin it

But don't get disillusioned - no, don't expect too much

Cuz if what you have is all you can get - just keep on

tryin' - it just ain't happened yet

Everybody wants ta be winner - everybody has a dream

We all need a shinin' star when things ain't what they seem

So tonight we're gonna wish upon a star

We never wished upon before - (gotta get where you're

headed for)

 

Everybody wants some kindness - everybody needs a break

We all need a shinin' star when things get hard to take

So tonight we're gonna wish upon a star

We never wished upon before

 

 

(I Wanna Be) Your Underwear*

 

 

I wanna be your t-shirt when it's wet - I wanna be the shower when you sweat

I gotta be the tattoo on your skin - yeah lemme be your bed baby - when you climb in

I wanna be the sheets when you sleep - let me be the secrets that you keep

I gotta be the spoon - ta stir your cream

I wanna be the one that really makes you scream

 

I wanna be - your lipstick when ya lick it

I wanna be - your high heels when ya kick it

I wanna be - your sweet love babe - ya when you make it

from your feet up to your hair - more than anything I swear

I wanna be - your underwear

 

I wanna be the itch that you scratch - wanna be the chair when you relax

I gotta be your razor when you shave

I wanna be the habit that really makes you crave

 

I wanna be - your hot tub - when you're dippin'

I wanna be - your bathrobe - when you're drippin'

I wanna be - your cocktail baby - when you're sippin'

I just wanna be right there - more than anything I swear

I wanna be your sleeping bag - baby slip inside

Let me be your motorcycle n' take you for a ride - alright

 

I wanna be - your hot sauce - ya when you're cookin'

I wanna be - wanna be the one - you're stick your hook in

I just wanna be right there - more than anything I swear

Oh ya I wanna be - your underwear

 

 

We're Gonna Win*

 

 

We're gonna win

Don't wanna be a loser - gonna win

Cuz winnin' really is the only thing

Get out of the way we're comin' in

If ya wanna fight just step inside the ring

Does anybody wanna take a swing?

It's gotta be all or nothing

Oh we're gonna be the champions

Ya we're goin' all the way - we're gonna win win

 

We're gonna win

Forget about a draw - we're gonna score

And then we're gonna get a few more

Maybe another one just to be sure

We'll make ya look just like an amateur

Until the final whistle it's a war

And then we're gonna pick ya off the floor

We wanna hear the crowd really roar

Ya - we're comin' in we're gonna win win

 

We're gonna win - we wanna win

Cuz number one is everything

We're gonna win - we wanna win

We're gonna be the champions

We're gonna win

 

 

 

I Think About You*

I oughta be sleepin - steada stayin up late

When I oughta be doing all the things I should do

It Ain't A Party - If You Can't Come 'Round*

 

 

 

 

It ain't a party - if you can't come 'round

You can drive the car - I'll play my ol' guitar

Come back to me - come back to me

Ya we can get some beer - ya let's get outta here

Come back to me - come back to me

We'll find a place to go - no one will ever know

Somewhere that's outta town

Put a blanket on the ground - baby

N' we can really go crazy

Babe it ain't a party - if you can't come 'round

Can't even get started - if you don't come down

Even Saturday - ain't a holiday - if you stay away

No - no it ain't a party - if you can't come 'round

 

Slip into somethin' tight - we'll slip into the night

Come back to me - come back to me

We'll see the sun go down - 'n maybe fool around

Come back to me - come back to me

Ya we can start a fire - maybe get a little higher

Don't worry what to bring - cuz we got everything - baby

And we can really go crazy

 

Babe it ain't a party - if you can't come 'round

Can't even get started - if you don't come down

Even Saturday - ain't a holiday - if you stay away

No - no it ain't a party - if you can't come 'round

 

 

Black Pearl*

 

 

Deep down in mississippi

I found my sweet delta blues

She weaved a little southern spell on me

Made a little voodoo

 

She was born the bright side of midnight

When her mama was seventeen

She was a hot blooded - God fearin - gospel girl

The finest that I ever seen

 

Shes black coffee - little bit o cream

Sweet brown sugar - my midnight dream

Black pearl - my kinda girl

Just the kind of thing to rock my world

Black pearl - shes my kinda girl

 

Met her in a dixie diner

Put on the southern hospitality

I can still smell her sweet molasses

Running all over me

 

We started rollin like the river

Like a twister tearin through the town

Tongue tied - satisfied - n southern fried

As she drove this ol dixie down

 

Shes black coffee - little bit o cream

Sweet brown sugar - my midnight dream

Black pearl - my kinda girl

Just the kind of thing to rock my world

Black pearl - shes my kinda girl

 

Yeah shes alright - yeah shes ok

Makin love night - she really made my day

 

 

 

You're Still Beautiful To Me*

 

 

Turn out the lights and close the door

Put your head on the pillow let me keep ya warm

I wanna run my hands across your face

Ya lyin' beside ya' still the perfect place

We're still goin' strong

So glad that you came along

 

Ya babe in every way

You're still beautiful to me

I just - have ta say -

You're still beautiful to me 'n

(it's bin a long time baby)

 

Lay back baby - close your eyes

Let me do everything your heart desires

When I think of the years makin' love to you

There still ain't nothin' I'd rather do

There's somethin' I can't deny

You sure know how ta move this guy

 

Ya babe in every way -

You're still beautiful to me

I just - have ta say -

You're still beautiful to me - can't ya see

 

Still feels good - still runs deep

When you get close babe - I still get weak

Cuz in these arms - is where you belong

We're still goin' strong - so glad that you came along

Hey babe you're still number one

 

Oh can't ya see - you're still beautiful to me

You'll always be so beautiful to me

Ya babe in every way - you're still beautiful to me

 

 

 

Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman*

 

 

To really love a woman

To understand her - you gotta know her deep inside

Hear every thought - see every dream

N' give her wings - when she wants to fly

Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms

Ya know ya really love a woman

 

When you love a woman you tell her

that she's really wanted

When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one

Cuz she needs somebody to tell her

that it's gonna last forever

So tell me have you ever really

- really really ever loved a woman?

 

To really love a woman

Let her hold you -

til ya know how she needs to be touched

You've gotta breathe her - really taste her

Til you can feel her in your blood

N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes

Ya know ya really love a woman

 

When you love a woman

you tell her that she's really wanted

When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one

Cuz she needs somebody to tell her

that you'll always be together

So tell me have you ever really -

really really ever loved a woman?

 

You got to give her some faith - hold her tight

A little tenderness - gotta treat her right

She will be there for you, takin' good care of you

Ya really gotta love your woman...

 

And when you find yourself liying helpless in her arms

you know you really love a woman

 

When you love a woman you tell her

that she's really wanted

When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one

Cuz she needs somebody to tell her

that it's gonna last forever

So tell me have you ever really

- really really ever loved a woman?

"Is Your Mama Gonna Miss Ya?"

 

 

I might as well bin blind

Thought I owned this world and all its time

Made up my mind not to love again

Live my life a single man

Lady luck she came my way

Turned my night into day

 

She went huff and blew my little house down

She went puff ya she spun me around

She played rough ya she took me to town

All I did was fool around

And my whole world came tumblin' down

 

Is your mama gonna miss ya now you're gone?

Is your mama gonna miss her little rollin' stone?

Is mama gonna cry now she's alone?

Cause mama's little girl ain't goin' home!

Ya-she's goin' with me

I couldn't be found - couldn't be heard

You couldn't trap this free bird

I loved to fly shoulda heard me sing

You came along and flapped your wings

Had my eyes on the road foot on the floor

Tell me "hey who's that knockin' at my door?"

 

She went huff and blew my little house down

She went puff ya she spun me around

She played rough ya she took me to town

 

All I did was fool around

And my whole world came crumblin' down

 

Is your mama gonna miss ya now you're gone?

Is your mama gonna miss her little rollin' stone?

Is mama gonna cry now she's alone?

Cause mama's little girl ain't goin' home!

 

I said stop and she said go

Looks so good I can't say no

Now we've gone and lost control.

 

 

 

 

 

"Hey Honey - I'm Packin' You In!"

 

 

Had enough of your crazy ways

Had enough of your leavin' for days

Don't wanna hear you waggin' your chin

Sick 'n' tired of your noisy din

Don't want another kick on the shin

Hey honey - I'm packin' you in!

 

Had enough of your faddy diet!

I can't wait for a real good fry up

I'm gettin' bored of microwave cookin'

And you tellin' me how awful I'm lookin'

Don't wanna hear how you gotta be thin

Hey honey - I'm packin' you in!

 

I don't wanna be the joke of the party

I just wanna be back where I started

I'm gettin' out before the goin' gets grim

So hey honey - I'm packin' you in!

Had enough of you hangin' round bars

And crashin' up my favorite car

Sick 'n' tired of this and that and ya askin' for favours

And usin' up my brand new razors

Don't want another cut on my chin

Hey honey - I'm packin' you in!

 

I don't wanna be the joke of the party

I just wanna be back where I started

I'm gettin' out before the goin' gets grim

So hey honey - I'm packin' you in!

 

No point in hangin' round with a restless heart

Don't wanna let you down but I'm blowin' this town

For a brand new start

I want out - you want in

Forget about that weddin' ring!

 

Had enough of your hand in the til

Sick 'n' tired of your credit card bills

Get on back to your next of kin

Hey honey..

 

 

 

Can't Stop This Thing We Started*

 

 

 

You might stop a hurricane

Might even stop the drivin rain

You might have a dozen other guys

But if you wanna stop me baby - dont even try

Im goin one way - your way

Its such a strong way - lets make it our way

 

Cant stop this thing we started

You gotta know its right

Cant stop this course weve plotted

This thing called love we got it

No place for the brokenhearted

Cant stop this thing we started - no way

Im goin your way!

You might stop the world spinnin round

Might even walk on holy ground

I aint superman and I cant fly

But if you wanna stop me baby - dont even try

Im goin one way - your way

Its such a strong way - lets make it our way

 

Cant stop this thing we started

You gotta know its right

Cant stop this course weve plotted

This thing called love we got it

No place for the brokenhearted

Cant stop this thing we started - no way

Im goin your way!

 

Oh - why take it slow

I gotta know

Nothing can stop this thing that we got

 

 

Thought i'd Died and Gone to Heaven

 

 

Love is forever - as I lie awake

Beside you

I believed - there's no heaven

No hideaway - for the lonely

 

But I was wrong - crazy

It's gotta be strong

It's gotta be right

 

Only wanted to stay a while

Only wanted to play a while

Then you taught me to fly like a bird

 

Baby - thought I'd died and gone to heaven

Such a night I never had before

Thought I'd died and gone to heaven

Cause what I got there ain't no cure for

 

Ooo it's so easy

What you do to me all night angel

I never loved - I swear to God

Never needed no one, 'til you came along

 

Here I come baby

It's gotta be strong - it's gotta be right

Only wanted to stay awhile

Only wanted to play awhile

Then you taught me to fly like a bird

 

Baby - thought I'd died and gone to heaven

Such a night I never had before

Thought I'd died and gone to heaven

Cause what I got there ain't no cure for

 

I feel fast asleep - I feel drunk

I dream the sweetest dreams

Never wanna wake up

 

Never thought it could be this way

No doubt about it - can't live without it

Never thought it could be this good

You made love to me - the way it oughta be

 

 

 

"Not Guilty"

 

 

Who are you to say that I'm wrong?

Who are you to say I'm crazy?

Ain't a crime of passion comin' on strong

I'm only trying to treat ya like a lady

And I can't help myself

 

Do I have to prove my innocence?

Don't need a lawyer with a fat degree

Cause if lovin' you is against the law

Then you better lock me up and throw away the key

 

Oh gonna take it to the jury

Oh gonna nail it to the wall

Oh gonna fight I'm gonna prove it

Oh so let the hammer fall

 

I'm not guilty - baby I'm not

I can't stop this feelin' I got

I'm not guilty - cross my heart

Not my fault if I'm fallin' apart

But I'm alright Jack justa watchin' my back

I'm not guilty - I'm not guilty

 

Won't serve no sentence won't do no time

Won't cha listen to my plea

Ya the verdict is I'm doin' fine

Cause the love police are lookin' out for me

 

Oh I'm gonna get a witness

Oh I'm gonna write it on the wall

Oh it's a dirty old business

Oh ya let the hammer fall

 

I'm not guilty - baby I'm not

I can't stop this feelin' I got

I'm not guilty - cross my heart

Not my fault if I'm fallin' apart

But I'm alright Jack justa watchin' my back

I'm not guilty - I'm not guilty

 

She'll break your heart she'll take your mind

She'll steal your soul

She's everything she's a schoolboy's dream

She's rock 'n' roll

She's a knockout combination

It's a sticky situation

 

 

 

 

 

"Vanishing"

 

 

People all over build on solid ground

They build it up and then they tear it down

Take it or leave it who cares how much it costs

They'll never know how much is gone until it's lost

'til it's vanishing

 

Think I hear thunder ain't no sign of rain

Danger signs flashin' in my brain

Ridin' on empty - lights are turnin' red

There ain't no lovin' left in this empty bed

Ya it's vanishing

 

We're sittin' on treasure call it sacred ground

Why look for more babe when it's right here to be found

 

Never gonna lose ya - ya know I'm gonna fight

This thing's worth saving girl - ya know we'll make it right

 

If it takes all night - gonna swim your sea

Gonna sail your ocean - gonna shake your tree

Gonna climb your mountain - gonna shine your light

Wanna row your river darlin' - if it takes all night

 

People all over build mansions in the sky

They choke on smoke and watch their dreams go by

When the phone stops ringin' love has surely died

But the grass is greener babe on the other side

 

Never wanna lose ya - ya know I'm gonna fight

Never said it'd be easy girl - ya know we'll make it right

 

If it takes all night - gonna swim your sea

Gonna sail your ocean - gonna shake your tree

Gonna climb your mountain - gonna shine your light

Wanna row your river darlin' - if it takes all night

 

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Whatcha gonna do without a shoulder to lean on

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Never wanna lose ya - ya know we gotta fight

Never said it'd be easy girl - ya know we'll get it right..

If it takes all night

 

 

 

 

"House Arrest"

 

 

Well there's gonna be a party gonna make some noise

Yeah we're invitin' all the girls - invitin' all the boys

There'll be dancin' on the tables dancin' on the chairs

Ya there'll be dancin' in the parkin' lots

And up and down the stairs - alright

Close the windows - lock the doors

Turn it up now - pack the floors

Cops are on the outside - landlord's on the phone

Quick turn out all the lights

Pretend there ain't nobody home!

 

It's a house arrest - everybody run

I gotta plead guilty havin' - too much fun

This is a house arrest - up against the wall

We can't stop rockin' justa havin' a ball - One and all

 

Won't you come around to my place

Don't cha know it's overdue

You gotta bring your little lady wear your dancin' shoes

Get a Yellow Taxi - take a limousine

You gotta get there - it's gonna be a scene

it's too late can't wait - get out while you can

It was fun while it lasted let's do it all again

 

It's a house arrest - everybody run

I gotta plead guilty havin' - too much fun

This is a house arrest - up against the wall

We can't stop rockin' justa havin' a ball

One and all

 

We bin wakin' up the neighbours

Bouncin' off the walls

Hangin' off the ceilings

We'll be dancin' in and out of the halls!

 

This is a house arrest everybody move

Gotta plead guilty gonna raise the roof

This is a house arrest...!

 

 

 

 

"Depend On Me"

 

 

When you're losin' direction

Baby you can depend on me

For a little love and affection

You can depend on me

If ya feel brokenhearted and you just can't get started

You can depend on me

Ya know it's never easy and when you're feelin' blue

There'll be times you feel so empty

Ya sometimes I feel it too

 

Like sister to brother - father to mother

We live for each other - we're lover to lover

As deep as an ocean - filled with emotion

I'm forever open - can't you see

Baby you can depend on me

Depend on me - depend on me

 

For someone to rely on and a shoulder to cry on

You can depend on me

If you're in need of some kindness

And you can't seem to find it

You can depend on me

Well there ain't no need to worry you know we'll get along

Those dark clouds may surround you

But together we'll be strong

 

Like sister to brother - father to mother

We live for each other - we're lover to lover

As deep as an ocean - filled with emotion

I'm forever open - can't you see

Baby you can depend on me

Depend on me - depend on me

 

Your love is a guiding light

I've been watchin' it shine - shine on baby

When hard times are all around

And there's miles and miles of dirty road - depend on me

There's no need to carry that heavy load - depend on me

When hope is gone and all is lost

Just reach out - take my hand

I'll be there - I'll be your man

Depend on me

 

 

 

 

 

"All I Want Is You"

 

 

Don't want diamonds don't want gold

Don't want fashion don't wanna be cool

Don't wanna hustle just to get thru

When it all comes down babe

All I want is you

 

Don't wanna argue don't wanna fight

Don't want no politics babe all thru the night

I told ya before-gonna tell ya once more

For the last time baby open up your door

All I want is you all I want is you

Not any old girl will do

All I want is you

If ya don't need love ya gotta be nuts

The heaviest metal always rusts

Just you and me babe hangin' tough

It's gotta be it's gonna be it's gotta be love or bust!

 

Don't need a doctor don't need a nurse

Don't need a prescription babe

Only make me feel worse

 

Don't need a license don't need insurance

Don't need a ticket where we're goin' babe

You got my assurance ya

I told ya before-gonna tell ya once more

For the last time baby open up your door

 

All I want is you all I want is you

Not any old girl will do

All I want is you

If ya don't need love ya gotta be nuts

The heaviest metal always rusts

Just you and me babe hangin' tough

It's gotta be it's gonna be it's gotta be love or bust!

 

 

 

There Will Never Be Another Tonight

 

 

Put on your best dress darling

Can't you see the time is right

There will never be another tonight

 

If you got your motor runnin'

Then I got my engines on

Say the word and darlin' we'll be gone

Outside the world is waitin'

But we won't lose control

So come on now - let the good times roll

 

You gotta ride your broom right into my room

Kick off your shoes make yourself at home

Wave your little wand - weave a little spell

Make a little magic - raise some hell

 

There will never be another tonight

C'mon baby - hold on tight

There will never be another tonight

I don't care if it's wrong or right

We got nothin' to lose just me and you

In your wildest dreams...

There'll never be another tonight

 

Who cares about tomorrow

Let the wind fill your sails

A runaway train ridin' on the rails

We got the bases loaded

Home run - power play

Tonight's the night we're goin' all the way

 

You gotta ride your broom right into my room

Kick off your shoes make yourself at home

Wave your little wand - weave a little spell

Make a little magic - raise some hell

 

There will never be another tonight

C'mon baby - hold on tight

There will never be another tonight

Flash your diamonds shine your lights

There'll never be another tonight

I don't care if it's wrong or right

Cause we got nothin' to lose just me and you

In your wildest dreams...

There'll never be another tonight

 

Some people they're looking for paradise

Others they're looking for inner light

Me I'm just having the time of my life

I'm headin' out, to check it out

Check it out!!

 

 

Do I Have to say the Words

 

Rescue me from the mire

Whisper words of desire

Rescue me - darling rescue me

With your arms open wide

Want you here by my side

Come to me - darling rescue me

When this world's closing in

There's no need to pretend

Set me free - darling rescue me

 

I don't wanna let you go

So I'm standing in your way

I never needed anyone like

I'm needin' you today

 

Do I have to say the words?

Do I have to tell the truth?

Do I have to shout it out?

Do I have to say a prayer?

Must I prove to you how

good we are together?

Do I have to say the words

 

Rescue me from despair

Tell me you will be there

Rescue me - darlin' rescue me

 

Every dream that we share

Every cross that we bear

Come to me - darlin' rescue me

 

 

 

"If You Wanna Leave Me"

 

 

You can't stand still for a moment

You can't stand still for a night

Your feet just starta move when it's boring

But you gotta stick around to get it right

So get it right

You can't find love in the kitchen

You walk the dark side of the street

You can't find any hope in religion

Ya gotta feel the road under your feet

 

I'm gonna shed a little light

I'm gonna love ya every night

We'll get it right - get it right!

 

If you wanna leave me can I come too

If you wanna leave me gonna go with you

If you say no - I'm still gonna go

If you wanna leave me - can I come too?

 

You try 'n keep dry in the water

You try 'n keep cool in the fire

The politics of love are getting harder

So grab a hold, take my hand, we'll take it higher!

 

 

 

 

 

"Don't Drop That Bomb On Me"

 

 

We sailed our ships upon the shores

That once were out of reach

Turned the silence into war and bloodied up the beach

Trashed the forests and the trees

Til there's nothin' left to cut

We raped the rivers and the seas and turned the land to dust

It goes on and on

On and on...

 

Does anybody know what's goin' on

Can anybody tell me where we went wrong

Can anyone say why wrong is right

If we wanna little peace well we got to fight

 

Can anyone say things are lookin' good

Just take a look around your neighbourhood

The world's gone crazy

 

Crash-we can fight it

Crash-we gotta try

Crash-we can't hide it

We gotta stop that fire

 

Don't drop that bomb on me

Save that little tree

Don't drop that bomb on me

Save our seven seas

Don't drop it, don't drop it

Don't drop that bomb on me

 

Should every thing thing have a life to give

Will every little child have a place to live

Does anybody feel just a little bit scared

Isn't it about time everybody cared

The world's gone crazy

 

Crash-we can fight it

Crash-we gotta try

Crash-we can't hide it

We gotta stop that fire

 

Don't drop that bomb on me

Save that little tree

Don't drop that bomb on me

Save our seven seas

Don't drop it, don't drop it

Don't drop that bomb on me

 

If ya gonna talk that talk

Ya gotta walk that walk

If ya gonna fly that flag

Ya gotta shake a leg

Ya everybody should try

Cause we're much too young to die

 

 

 

 

 

"Touch The Hand"

 

 

Stand up - if ya wanna fight

I'm tellin' all the women - stand up for your rights

If ya wanna wear the trousers - you wanna act like a man

I'd love to trade ya places - love to be your thang

I'd do all the shopping - collect you favorite suit

Press all the laundry - polish all your boots

And if you brought me flowers - I'd meet you at the door

Have your dinner ready - your slippers on the floor

And when day turns to night and you feel alright

And I turn out the lights

 

Touch the hand of the man who'll make ya woman

Touch the hand of the man who'll make it right

Touch the hand of the man who'll make ya woman

Cause when day turns to night and you feel alright

And I turn out the lights

 

Stand up - it's alright

Love to play the woman - love to play your wife

Light you favorite cigarette - pour your favorite drink

Wear your best apron - wash the dishes in the sink

Get your shaving lotion - turn the shower on

Warm up your bathrobe - keep my baby warm

Read ya bedtime stories - while you take a nap

Turn on the TV - put out the cat

But when day turns to night and you feel alright

And I turn out the lights..

 

 

 

 

(Everything I Do) I Do It For You*

 

 

Look into my eyes - you will see

What you mean to me

Search your heart - search your soul

And when you find me there you'll search no more

 

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for

You know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you

 

Look into your heart - you will find

There's nothin' there to hide

Take me as I am - take my life

I would give it all - I would sacrifice

 

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for

I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more

Ya know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you

 

There's no love - like your love

And no other - could give more love

There's nowhere - unless you're there

All the time - all the way

 

Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for

I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more

I would fight for you - I'd lie for you

Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you

 

Ya know it's true

Everything I do - I do it for you

One Night Love Affair

 

 

You're the silent type

And you caught my eye

But I never thought that I'd be touching you

How was I to know

I'd let my feelings go

And that I'd be yours before the night was through

 

One night love affair

Trying to make like we don't care

We were both reaching out for something

 

One night love affair

Pretending it ain't there

Oh - and now we're left with nothing

 

When the morning breaks

We go our separate ways

If the night was made for love it ain't for keeps

 

But I lose control

As I watch you go

All my senses say I'm in this much too deep

Now you're out reach

 

One night love affair

Trying to make like we don't care

We were both reaching out for something

 

One night love affair

Pretending we don't care

Oh - and now we're left with nothing

 

Solo

 

One night love affair

Trying to make like we don't care

We were both reaching out for something

 

One night love affair

Sometimes life ain't fair

Oh - and not we're left with nothing

 

 

 

 

"She's Only Happy When She's Dancin'"

 

 

Monday mornin' - it's time to get up

Two cups of coffee and she runs for the bus

Looks in the window and fixes her hair

Nobody notices and nobody cares

 

She admits it ain't no kinda life

Workin' 9 to 5 you know...

 

She's only happy when she's dancin'

There ain't no place she'd rather be

When she's dancin'

Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies

 

When Friday evenin' finally rolls around

She grabs a taxi and she heads uptown

Goes to a place they call "The Ball And Chain"

Nothin' matters until Monday so she goes insane

 

Well it's a ###### tryin' to make ends meet

But that's the way the story goes

She's only happy when she's dancin'

There ain't nothin' makes her feel so free

When she's dancin'

The girl's outrageous and it's plain to see

 

[solo]

 

She ain't got much but she got independence

Ya - she's doin' alright

His eyes are on her as the evenin's endin'

But she ain't goin' for no mystery

Because nobody rides for free

 

She's only happy when she's dancin'

Dancin' - there ain't no place she'd rather be

When she's dancin'

Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies - dancin'

 

 

 

Run To You*

 

 

She says her love for me could never die

But thatd change if she ever found out about you and i

 

Oh - but her love is cold

It wouldnt hurt her if she didnt know, cause...

 

When it gets too much

I need to feel your touch

 

Im gonna run to you

Cause when the feelins right Im gonna run all night

Im gonna run to you

Shes got a heart of gold shed never let me down

But youre the one that always turns me on

You keep me comin round

 

I know her love is true

But its so ###### easy makin love to you

 

I got my mind made up

I need to feel your touch

 

Im gonna run to you

Ya - Im gonna run to you

Cause when the feelins right Im gonna stay all night

 

Im gonna run to you

Ya - Im gonna run to you

Oh when the feelins right Im gonna run all night

Im gonna run to you

 

 

Heaven*

 

 

Oh - thinkin' about all our younger years

There was only you and me

We were young and wild and free

 

Now nothin' can take you away from me

We bin down that road before

But that's over now

You keep me comin' back for more

 

Baby you're all that I want

When you're lyin' here in my arms

I'm findin' it hard to believe

We're in heaven

And love is all that I need

And I found it there in your heart

It isn't too hard to see

We're in heaven

 

Oh - once in your life you find someone

Who will turn your world around

Bring you up when you're feelin' down

 

Ya - nothin' could change what you mean to me

Oh there's lots that I could say

But just hold me now

Cause our love will light the way

 

N' baby you're all that I want

When you're lyin' here in my arms

I'm findin' it hard to believe

We're in heaven

And love is all that I need

And I found it there in your heart

It isn't too hard to see

We're in heaven

 

I've bin waitin' for so long

For something to arrive

For love to come along

 

Now our dreams are comin' true

Through the good times and the bad

Ya - I'll be standin' there by you

 

 

 

Somebody*

 

 

I bin lookin for someone

Between the fire and the flame

Were all lookin for somethin

To ease the pain

Now who can you turn to

When its all black and white

And the winners are losers

You see it every night

 

I need somebody

Somebody like you

Everybody needs somebody

 

I need somebody

Hey what about you

Everybody needs somebody

When youre out on the front line

And youre watchin them fall

It doesnt take long to realize

It aint worth fightin for

 

I thought I saw the madonna

When you walked in the room

Well your eyes were like diamonds

And they cut right through - oh they cut right through

 

I need somebody

Somebody like you

Everybody needs somebody

I need somebody

Hey what about you

We all need somebody

 

Another night another lesson learned

Its the distance keeps us sane

But when the silence leads to sorrow

We do it all again - all again

 

Chorus

 

 

Summer Of '69

 

 

I got my first real six-string

Bought it at the five-and-dime

Played 'til my fingers bled

It was summer of '69

 

Me and some guys from school

Had a Band and we tried real hard

Jimmy quit and Jody got married

I shualda known we'd never get far

 

Oh when I lock back now

That was seemes to last forever

And if I had the choice

Ya - I'd always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

 

(CHORUS)

 

Ain't no use in complainin'

When you got a job to do

Spent my evenin's down at the drive in

And that's when I met you

 

Standin on a mama's porch

You told me that you'd wait forever

Oh and when you held my hand

I knew that it was no or never

Those were the best days of my life

 

(Chorus) Back in Summer of '69

 

Man we were killin' time

We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothin' can last forever, no

 

And now the times are changin'

Look at everything that's come and gone

Somethimes when I play that old six-string

I think about ya wonder what went wrong

 

Standin' on a mama's porch

You told me it would last forever

Oh the way you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

 

(Chorus) Back in summer of '69

 

 

 

kids wanna rock

 

 

Turned on the radio

Sounded like a disco

Musta turned the dial for a couple of miles

But I couldnt find no rock n roll

 

This computerized crap aint gettin me off

Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock

London to l.a.

Talkin bout the new wave

For a couple of bucks you get a weird haircut

And waste your life away

 

Around the world or around the block

Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock

Get me my d.j.

I got somethin hes gotta play

Wanna hear it I cant wait

So turn it up, turn it up...

 

Kick down the barricades

Listen what the kids say

From time to time people change their minds

But the music is here to stay

 

Ive seen it all from the bottom to the top

Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock

 

Around the world or around the block

Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock

 

Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock

 

 

 

It's Only Love

 

 

When the feelin' is ended

There ain't no use pretendin'

Don't ya worry - It's only love

 

When your world has been shattered

Ain't nothin' else matters

It ain't over - It's only love

And that's all - yeah

 

When your heart has been broken

Hard words have been spoken

It ain't easy - but it's only love

 

And your life ain't worth livin'

And you're ready to give in

Just remember - that it's only love

 

You can live without the aggravation

Ya gotta wanna win - ya gotta wanna win

You keep lookin' back in desperation

Over and over and over again

 

When your world has been shattered

Ain't nothin' else matters

It ain't over - It's only love

 

And if your life ain't worth livin'

And you're ready to give in

Just remember - that it's only love

Ya - that's all

 

Ya it ain't easy baby

But it's only love - and that's all

 

 

"Long Gone"

 

 

The telephone's bin ringin' - ringin' off the wall

It's your Las Vegas lawyer - another long distance call

He says you get the house and the car

And I get the clothes I got on

Now she's gone

Long, long, long, long gone

Now I'm a happy boy

 

She's long, long, long, long gone

 

Operator get me Manhatten - get my baby on the line

Sooner or later she's gotta realize

That all my feelin's were for real

But maybe she was leadin' me on

 

[Chorus]

 

She took the frigidaire

She got my favorite chair

You could say she got the best of me

 

It's like a legal crime

But in a matter of time

She'll be back for the rest of me

 

 

 

"Ain't Gonna Cry"

 

 

Well I hardly knew ya baby

And you were comin' on

Mama told me there'd be days like these

I shoulda known better maybe

Woulda seen right through ya

I needed you like a disease

 

I ain't gonna cry over you

You're a mystery

I ain't gonna cry over you

You're history - history

 

You said you'd wait forever

But I know your type

The lights are on but no-one's home

 

I changed my number maybe

You better change your mind

Cause I'd rather spend the night alone

 

I ain't gonna cry over you

You're a mystery

I ain't gonna cry over you

You're history - history

 

I ain't gonna cry over you

You're a misery

I ain't gonna cry over you

You're history

 

I ain't your kinda guy

So forget about me

Cause I ain't too shy to say what I'm thinkin' - hit it

 

I got reckless baby

Put you in your place

Next time maybe re-arrange your face

[Chorus]

[!!!NOUR!!!]

album: "Into The Fire"

 

 

 

Heat Of The Night*

 

 

I was caught in the crossfire of a silent scream

Where one man's nightmare is another man's dream

Pull the covers up high and pray for the morning light

Cause you're living alone in the heat of the night

 

Met a man with a message from the other side

Couldn't take the pressure - had to leave it behind

He said it's up to you

You can run or you can fight - (ya that's right)

Better leave it alone in the heat of the night

 

In the heat of the night they'll be coming around

They'll be looking for answers they'll be chasing you down

In the heat of the night

(Where you gonna hide when it all comes down)

(Don't look back don't ever turn around)

 

Had to pay the piper to call the tune

Said he'd be back someday - said he'd be back real soon

Pull the shades down low - you'll know when the time is right

When you're lying alone in the heat of the night

 

 

"Into The Fire"

 

 

Life - thin as a thread

Sometimes you're lucky

Sometimes you're better off dead

 

Your first breath is taken and in to the world you are cast

You long for tomorrow while living each day as your last

 

Well I know what your heart desires

But you can't take it with you

Into the fire

 

Now you've done all you can

Your life's at the crossroads

You watch as it slips through your hands

 

So stand on the mountain and shout in vain at the sky

But nobody hears you - the words only echo inside

Oh shelter the flame - it may expire

Risin' up from the ashes

Into the fire

 

Just hold on to your life down to the wire

Oh out from the dragon's jaws

Into the fire

 

There's a moment in every man's life

When he must decide what is wrong and what's right

 

You could wait for your dreams to come true

But time has no mercy

Time won't stand still for you

 

Well I know what your heart desires

Crawlin' out from the wreckage

Into the fire

 

Here I go...into the fire

I know...what your heart desires

 

 

 

Victim Of Love*

 

 

Livin’ on your own can be a lonely game

A face in the crowd - no one knows your name

It’s a table for one and a broken heart to go

 

She’s the kind of lover that you always dreamed

Would come to stay and never wanna leave

But that’s all changed - she’s dealt the final blow

Heaven knows what you were thinkin’ of

Don’t blame yourself you’re just a victim of love

 

It doesn’t matter who was right or wrong

When the fire is over - when the magic’s gone

You pick up the pieces and do the best you can

 

It knocks you down but you try it again

You get a little older it’s a cryin’ shame

Sometimes things don’t work out like you plan

 

Who’s gonna help when you’ve had enough

It ain’t no secret you’re a victim of love

Heaven knows what you were thinkin’ of

Don’t blame yourself you’re just a victim of love

 

One goodbye was really all it took

Now you thumb through the pages of your little black book

But somehow all the numbers look the same

You’ve been thinkin’ how to get around it

But there ain’t nothin’ you can do about it

Nothin’ ventured - nothin’ gained

 

Ain’t nothin’ you can’t rise above

Call it what you want but you’re a victim of love

 

Who’s gonna help you when you’ve had enough

Ain’t no secret you’re a victim of love

 

I don’t wanna lose your love...

 

 

 

"Another Day"

 

 

Woke up lyin' on the floor

Can't recall the night before

Oh - another day

 

Outside it's cold and damp

Unemployment cheque is spent

Yeah - another day

 

Some people never know

You can't just let it go

Or try and work it out some other way

Some people never learn

My life ain't their concern

And nothin's gonna change come what may

 

Had a job but it fell through

Landlord says the rent is due

Oh - another day

 

They say the best in life is free

But if you don’t pay then you don’t eat

Oh - another day

 

I guess I'll never know

You can't just let it go

Or try to work it out some other way

 

Some people never learn

Their life ain't my concern

Ain't nothin' gonna change come what may

 

Grass looks greener on the other side

But I can't get there my hands are tied

And if I do don't be surprised

Oh - gotta figure it out another day

 

 

"Native Son"

 

 

I've seen many moons through these wrinkled eyes

The years have made me old but they've made me wise

Now the white man lives where our rivers run

 

For now better days have passed

We walk the streets of broken glass

Our people vanished as snow before the summer sun

Like dogs we were driven from this place

Such injustice, time will not erase

All these changes cannot be undone

 

When you feel the anger inside of you

Hold your head high - let your aim be true

Though your heart beats like a drum

My native son

 

Once there was a time my little one

Before the wagons - before the soldiers' guns

When this land was ours as far as the eagle flies

 

No white flag - no broken truce

With few words one can speak the truth - I don't hear it

Time won't heal it now

 

With each new day that comes to pass

Will the great spirit free us all at last?

He said we were the chosen ones

 

For all we had there's nothin' left

We won’t forgive - we can't forget

You know that your day will come

My native son

 

With each new day that comes to pass

Will the great spirit free us all at last?

What has happened can never be undone

 

When I was young - not yet a man

The sun rose and set upon our land

We were the chosen ones

My native son

 

 

"Only The Strong Survive"

 

 

When the pressure's on and you're all alone

Take a little ride into the danger zone

When the moon is up and the skies are clear

Just show me a sign and we'll be outa here

Take me up on a wing and a prayer

If you need a friend you know I'll be there

 

Hound dogs howlin' all through the night

Eight miles high and I'm doin' alright

Better move over 'cause you're goin' too slow

I feel the need for freedom now it's time to go

 

It's a fine line between pleasure and pain

Let your conscience be your guide 'til we meet again

 

Your time has come - you can stand or you can run

But don't keep it all inside

Cause you gotta understand that there ain't no second chance

No-one gets outa here alive - only the strong survive

 

Tearin' it up goin' down the track

Gonna fly so high, I might never come back

If things get tough you can count me in

Cause if you play the game you gotta play to win

 

Take me up where only angels can fly

If you need a helpin' hand I won't pass you by

 

Your time has come - you can stand or you can run

But don't keep it all inside

Cause you gotta understand that there ain't no second chance

No-one gets outa here alive - only the strong survive

 

[solo]

 

Take me up on a wing and a prayer

If you need someone you know I'll be there

 

Your time has come - you can stand or you can run

But don't keep it all inside

Cause you gotta understand that there ain't no second chance

No-one gets outa here alive

 

Only the strong survive

Only the strong survive

Well I'm doin' what I can - you gotta understand

Only the strong survive

 

 

 

 

"Rebel"

 

 

He made his way back to the old town

And everything looked just the same

The shops and the schools and the factories were there

But somehow the faces had changed

 

So he went for a walk in the high street

Took his coat off and rolled up his sleeves

He thought of his father and his father before him

And how he was the first one to leave

 

Well he didn't come here for forgiveness

There isn't a lot they can say

Cause I remember the reasons he first ran away

 

He's a rebel

Just a rebel

Got his back to the wall

Gonna fight 'til he falls

He's a rebel

 

Don't ever look back - don't surrender

The old men say they've seen it before

Oh they drink their beer and they talk about friends

Who didn't come back from the war

 

Don't say he's too young to remember

Don't tell him what's wrong or what's right

Just give him a chance to get out there and fight

 

He's a rebel

Just a rebel

All the battles are won

But he's still on the run

He's a rebel

 

When it comes time for leavin'

Don't stand in my way

There's nothin' left for me here

Gonna run, run away

 

In the morning he walks past the old house

In the rain under grey northern sky

There's a new coat of paint on the front garden gate

But there's more there than first meets the eye

 

For a moment he stands undecided

Looking back on the days of his youth

As two worlds collide in a moment of truth

 

He's a rebel

 

 

 

"Remembrance Day"

 

 

For our king and our country and the promise of glory

We came from Kingston and Brighton to fight on the front line

 

Just lads from the farms and boys from the cities

Not meant to be soldiers we lay in the trenches

 

We'd face the fighting with a smile - or so we said

If only we had known what danger lay ahead

 

The sky turned to grey as we went into battle

On the fields of Europe young men were fallin'

 

I'll be back for you someday - it won't be long

If I can just hold on 'til this bloody war is over

 

The guns will be silent on Remembrance Day

There'll be no more fighting on Remembrance Day

 

By October of 18 Cambrai had fallen

Soon the war would be over and we'd be returnin'

 

Don't forget me while I'm gone far away

Well it won't be long 'till I'm back there in your arms again

 

One day soon - I don't know when

You know we'll all be free and the bells of peace will ring again

 

The time will come for you and me

We'll be goin' home when this bloody war is ended

 

The guns will be silent on Remembrance Day

We'll all say a prayer on Remembrance Day

 

On Remembrance Day - say a little prayer

On Remembrance Day

 

Well the guns will be silent

There'll be no more fighting

Oh we'll lay down our weapons

On Remembrance Day

 

 

"heart on fire"

 

 

Some other time

Some other place

We might not 've 'bin here

Standin' face to face

 

I just wanna tell ya

Made up my mind

You know I can't help the

way I feel inside

 

Oh this heart's on fire

Right from the start it's

bin burnin' for you

Oh this heart's on fire

One thing honey - this heart's true

 

The streets are empty

The lights are down

Ain’t nothin' movin'

This side of town

 

So come on over

I ain't hard to please

Oh baby - what you get ain't

always what you need

 

Oh this heart's on fire

It's gettin' hotter now can't you see

Oh this heart's on fire

From now on babe it's gonna be you and me

 

Risin' to my feet I can feel the heat

It's tryin' to pull me under

Runnin' through the night

we can make it right

It's comin' on like thunder

 

Some got it good some got it bad

But you're the best I ever had

I never worry you're so fine

From now on babe I'm

gonna be by your side

 

 

"Home Again"

 

 

When I was younger

My life was torn asunder

And I was carried far away

 

Now somewhere in the distance

I feel a strange insistance

I long to be there once again

 

The day is drawing nearer

The time has come to leave here

The feeling just keeps gettin' stronger every day

 

So I pray for the moment when I'll be with you

And all that we hoped for is all comin' true

When the time we've spent waitin' is finally through

I'll be home again

 

I can still remember

Days that never ended

Standin' on a distant shore

 

With every raindrop fallin'

I hear the thunder callin'

Like so many times before

 

Sometimes in the darkness

I hear what my heart says

Maybe one day I'll know what that feelings for

 

So I wait for the moment when I'll be with you

And all that we hoped for is all comin' true

The time we've spent waitin' is finally through

I'll be home again

 

When you're out there on your own

It can chill you to the bone

There's a cold wind blowin'

But it feels good knowin'

The worst is over now - I'm finally goin' home

 

It's gettin' stronger

Can't wait any longer

"The Only One"

 

 

Well I made up my mind

Not gonna let you get away

To think that I'm the lucky guy

I've almost got it made

 

Cause it's been so long

Since I've felt so strong

About anyone at all

I get so excited

I ain't gonna fight it

I think I might be fallin' in love

 

So come on - let's get it right

Cause you're the only one

So come on - we ain't got all night

Cause you're the only one

 

Last night

I thought you mighta stayed

If I'd a' had the guts

I woulda pushed my luck

But then you mighta turned away

 

How do I explain

I know it sounds insane

But then I've been through this before

In just a matter of time

You could change your mind

You could turn and walk right hrough that door

 

So come on - let's get it straight

Cause you're the only one

So come on - I just can't wait

Cause you're the only one

 

 

"Take Me Back"

 

 

I shoulda seen it coming

I shoulda seen the signs

Didn't really think that she needs me

Must've 'bin blind

 

She didn't give me a warning

Said I shouldn't treat you wrong

But when I woke up this mornin'

She was gone gone gone

 

She said...

Take me back won't ya

Take me back won't ya

I'll change my ways

Take me back won't ya

Take me back won't ya

I'm not the same

 

She didn't tell me about it

Am I supposed to read your mind

You make me get up and shout it

It's a crime crime crime

 

I shoulda seen it coming

I shoulda seen the signs

Didn't really think that she needs me

Must've 'bin blind

 

She said...

Take me back won't ya

Take me back won't ya

I'll change my ways

Take me back won't ya

Take me back won't ya

I'm not the same

 

Won't ya take me back

Won't ya take me back

 

 

 

This Time*

 

 

 

I think about her all the time

Shes my fantasy

An image burnin in my mind

Callin out to me

 

While my imaginations runnin wild

Yeah - things are getting clearer

 

This time everything is alright

No way shes gonna get away

This time everything is easy

Any day - Im gonna make her mine

 

Ive thought of every word Id say

Give or take a few

But she turns and slowly walks away

What do I have to do

 

Hey - turn up your radio

Oh - theres somethin I want you to know

 

This time everything is alright

No way shes gonna get away

This time everything is easy

Any day - Im gonna make her mine

 

Well its hard to take cause shes miles away

And Ive waited a long time

But the feelins right and darlin one of these nights

Yeah - Im gonna let you know

 

This time everything is alright

No way shes gonna get away

This time everything is easy

Any day - Im gonna make her mine

 

 

 

Straight From The Heart*

 

 

 

I could start dreamin but it never ends

As long as youre gone we may as well pretend

Ive been dreamin

Straight from the heart

 

You say its easy but whos to say

That wed be able to keep it this way

But its easier

Straight from the heart

 

Give it to me straight from the heart

Tell me we can make another start

You know Ill never go

As long as I know

Its comin straight from the heart

 

Ill see you on the street some other time

And all our words would just fall out of line

I was dreamin

Straight from the heart

 

Give it to me straight from the heart

Tell me we can make another start

You know Ill never go

As long as I know

Its coming straight from the heart

 

Give it to me straight from the heart

Tell me we can make one more start

You know Ill never go

As long as I know

Its coming straight from the heart

 

 

 

Cuts Like A Knife*

 

 

Drivin home this evening

I coulda sworn we had it all worked out

You had this boy believin

Way beyond the shadow of a doubt

 

Then I heard it on the street

I heard you mighta found somebody new

Well who is he baby - who is he

And tell me what he means to you

 

I took it all for granted

But how was I to know

That youd be letting go

 

Now it cuts like a knife

But it feels so right

It cuts like a knife

But it feels so right

 

Theres times Ive bin mistaken

Theres times I thought Id bin misunderstood

So wait a minute darlin

Cant you see we did the best we could

 

This wouldnt be the first time

Things have gone astray

Now youve thrown it all away

 

Now it cuts like a knife

But it feels so right

It cuts like a knife

But it feels so right

 

 

I'm Ready*

 

 

I'd like to see ya - thought I'd let ya know

I wanna be with ya everyday

Cause I got a feelin' that's beginning to grow

And there's only one thing I wanna say

 

I'm Ready - To Love Ya

I'm Ready - To Hold Ya

I'm Ready - To Love Ya

I'm Ready - To Hold Ya

Ready as - I'm gonna be

 

She left me a long note when she left me here

Told me that love was hard to find

But baby it's easy and I'll make it clear

There's only one thing on my mind

I'm Ready

 

 

"What's It Gonna Be"

 

 

If it was up to me

I'd say it's his decision

And maybe you should wait and see

You haven't got a choice

You gotta second guess him

So go ahead

 

What's it gonna be

Well you need an answer

What's it gonna be

All you get is no reply

 

If it was up to you

You'd say you need protection

When all you really need is me

Now that's the bottom line

It's your sincere intention

So go ahead

 

What's it gonna be

Well you need an answer

What's it gonna be

All you get is no reply

 

What's it gonna be

Well you need an answer

What's it gonna be

All you get is no reply

 

You've been waiting for so long

Now you say you can't go on

You can't go on, oh no

 

 

 

"Don't Leave Me Lonely"

 

 

I won't stand bein' broken hearted

I won't be pushed around

 

The rules were set when we got started

But lately I have found

 

We've spent too little time and too much heartache

I feel we're losin' ground

 

And lately I've been hearin'

You won't be needin' me around

 

Don't leave me lonely

Just wanna be right by your side

Your one and only - tonite

 

So don't leave me lonely

I need you here all the time

So don't leave me lonely - oh no

 

You say you need your independence

Well I need mine

 

Separate lives and separate feelings

I guess that's fine

 

But that won't last - it's no solution

I know it can't survive

 

And lately I've been thinkin'

Thinkin' 'bout you all the time

 

 

"Let Him Know"

 

 

Another day goes by and still you

wonder what happened

You'd give the world for one more try

But you're too shy to ask him

You don't wanna ask him now

I know your heart will pull you through

If he means that much to you -

you gotta let him know

 

Let him know that you love him

You gotta let him know

 

What can I say it's up to you

You gotta make up your own mind

Well it's your life it's up to you

Cause you didn't believe me

You still don't believe me

Now you're gonna see it's all comin' true

That's why I'm leavin' it up to you

Yeah you gotta let him know

 

The news is out I guess you heard

I shouldn't breathe a single word

The bottom line is nothing's gonna stop you now

You gotta let him know...

 

 

 

"The Best Was Yet To Come"

 

 

Just a small town girl in the city lights

The best was yet to come

Then lonely days turned to endless nights

The best was yet to come

 

How were you to know

That you would be the lucky one

Ain't it funny how time flies

When the best is yet to come

 

You can cry yourself to sleep at night

You can't change the things you've done

You had it there then it slipped away

Yeah you left the song unsung

 

Even through your tears

I never saw you come undone

What's so good about goodbye

When the best was yet to come

 

I find myself thinkin' about yesterday

When you were and livin' in a dream

In the moment that it takes

You find you made your first mistake

Like the setting sun...

You turn around it's gone

 

Just a small town girl who had it made

Or so the story goes

She had it there then it slipped

Oh - how was she to know

 

Even through her tears

I never saw her come undone

Ain't it funny how time flies

When the best is yet to come

What's so good about goodbye

When the best was yet to come

"Lonely Nights"

 

 

Will you risk your reputation?

I don't know.

You just don't know what you're sayin'

Anymore.

 

You know beggers can't be chosers,

And that's fair.

When we win we may be losers,

I don't care, no no no.

Baby, I just can't stand another lonely night,

So come over and save me,

Save me from another lonely night.

I hear every word you're sayin'

They're all lies.

But with every breath you're takin'

You're thinkin' of ways to say good night.

 

 

"One Good Reason"

 

 

I've got one hand on the door,

One hand in my pocket,

The world is on my shoulders,

And I'm tryin' to get to you.

I'm gettin' pretty worried,

Now that Ronnie's in the office,

I shouldn't let it get to me,

There's nothin' I can do.

 

Think that you should know by now,

You've done the damage now it can't be changed,

So give me one good reason,

One good reason to stay.

 

Well I knew that you were sleepin'

And I didn't want to wake you,

Cause this troubled look I got,

Might make you change your mind.

 

There's no need for compensation,

There's no reason to foresake me,

I was looking for the answers,

But there's nothin' here to find.

 

 

 

"Don't Look Now"

 

 

Now you took your love from me,

When I needed it most,

I wanted you so desperately,

So baby,

Don't look now cause I'm comin' around,

Baby don't look now cause I'm comin' around.

 

You planned it all so carefully,

You just faded to black,

And even in your wildest dreams,

You never thought I'd be back

So you thought you'd seen the last of me,

Now ya better think twice,

You can't fool me that easily,

Now baby,

 

Don't look now cause I'm comin' around,

Baby don't look now cause I'm comin' around.

 

You planned it all so carefully,

You just faded to black,

And even in your wildest dreams,

You never thought I'd be back.

 

So you thought you'd seen the last of me,

Now ya better think twice,

You can't fool me that easily, Now baby,

 

Don't look now cause I'm comin' around,

Baby don't look now cause I'm comin' around.

 

 

"Coming Home"

 

All those nights I've spent alone,

Uninspired, so tired and wasted.

There's lots of times I'd have telephoned,

I couldn't find the words to say,

 

I'm coming home,

Lord I'm coming home

I'll make it short,

I'll make it sweet,

Make it up to you and me.

I'm not the same guy I used to be,

What can I do to make you believe,

 

I'm coming home,

Oh I'm coming home.

I'm coming home,

Yeah I'm coming home.

Only seems like yesterday,

You and I were sayin' goodbye,

Now I'm just a few miles away

Gonna see you tonight.

 

I've been alone and I live the pain,

Reach for you in desperation.

I was wrong, I'll take the blame,

I need you back now I just can't wait,

 

I'm coming home

Yeah I'm coming home.

Coming home,

I'm just coming, coming,

Waiting it out.

I'm just coming home.

 

 

"Fits Ya Good"

 

 

Well in the air for the world today yeah.

Five O'Clock and those walls are slowly closin'.

You get home so down and worn out, thunderstruck.

Yeah fits you good,

Oh fits you good.

Yeah fits you good, Oh.

 

Closin' time you were bringin' me down,

Well I know it's just the way you live your life.

But you don't know like I know better,

I did all that I could. Now it

 

Fits you good,

Yeah fits you good.

Oh fits you good, Oh.

But you don't know what I know,

I did all that I could. Now

 

 

 

"Jealousy"

 

 

I can't complain about the way we tried,

So maybe it's time to say goodbye,

Not gonna look around

I'm just gonna look away.

Don't put the reasons back in my head,

You say you loved me now you've left me for dead,

Oh I just can't stand it this way.

Oh jealousy, coming over me,

It's that jealousy, breaking my heart.

Whoa jealousy, taking control of me,

Now ya just gotta know,

That I can't let it go,

And it's time that ya knew,

I can't stop loving you.

 

You say I'm a sentimental fool,

But all I tried to do is go with you,

Not gonna look around

I'm just gonna look away.

It's been a battle since you broke my heart,

I tell you now that it's been coming down hard,

Oh I just can't stand another day.

 

 

 

"Tonight"

 

 

Who are you gonna run to,

Now your ###### is on the line.

Who do you think you're foolin'

We ain't got the time.

Don't try to tell me,

Who's wrong or right.

Don't say that I

There's no point in tryin' to change it at all.

 

Tonight, tonight,

Let's leave it alone,

Leave it alone tonight,

We can't change it at all.

Forget the things I told you,

Let's just sleep on it for now.

It's your misunderstanding,

I don't wanna hear you out.

 

Two wrongs baby,

They don't make a right.

It's hardly worth the heartache,

Let's leave it alone, leave it alone.

 

 

 

"You Want It, You Got It"

 

 

I think I told you maybe once or twice before,

They'll only hold you down,

leave you wanting more.

But you refuse to listen, babe,

so this is where you'll stay,

If you weren't so bloody juvenile,

you'd be some where today.

If you want it, you got it,

If you want it, you got it,

If you want it, you got it now.

 

You think you want a break but I got news for you,

I think it's time you start believing your reviews.

Stood me up and shot me down so many times before,

But dropping names and playing games won't get you through my door.

 

If you want it, you got it,

If you want it, you got it,

If you want it, you got it now.

 

 

 

"Last Chance"

 

 

Well you take it all for granted,

So it should come as no surprise,

That your big balloon is gonna burst,

Right before your eyes.

 

Well you always call your mama,

Just for sympathy yeah,

But I tried to show you years ago,

So don't come crying to me.

Now it's your last chance the night is over,

Last chance for love,

Well you can blame it on the bosanova,

You can't blame me when I'm gone.

Well you call me up for favours,

You say that it's my turn,

Well I think I'll stand on my hard earned drive,

And watch your bridges burn.

 

Well I saw my Guardian Angel,

He said I can refuse,

Well I'd take the chance but it's hard to dance,

With size 8 concrete shoes.

 

Well you take it all for granted,

So it should come as no surprise,

That your big balloon is gonna burst,

Right before your eyes.

 

 

"No One Makes It Right"

 

 

Everything's been said, A hundred times

Everything's been said, A hunderd times

 

Then I know, if I know you

It takes one more time

No one holds the night,

The way you do

No one holds the night

The way you do

Then I know, If I know you

It takes one more night

 

No one makes it right

Like you do Like you do

No one makes it right

Like you do Like you do

No one makes it right like you

 

I guess you're moving out

So you say

I guess you're moving out

So you say

Oh I know if I know you

I've got no more saying

 

No one makes it right

Like you do Like you do

No one makes it right

Like you do Like you do

No one makes it right like you

 

I said it once

I said it always

"Hidin' From Love"

 

 

I'm riding in the middle

Halfway into you

And halfway into something else,

I dont't know what to do.

You said you'd make it easy,

You said you'd take the time,

But you call it off

Before I change my mind.

 

'Cause you're not decidin'

You're only hidin' from love.

You can't deny it,

You're only hidin' from love.

 

Well, I've been makin' changes,

But you've been changin' too.

You were hopin' love was somethin' else,

I was hopin' it was you.

You said you'd make it easy, babe,

You said you'd take the time,

But you call it off

Before I change my mind.

 

Cause you're not decidin'

You're only hidin' from love.

You can't deny it,

You're only hidin' from love.

 

I know you're tryin',

But you're only hidin' from love.

You say you're shy,

But you're only hidin' from love.

 

 

 

"Win Some, Lose Some"

 

 

Now you know

That I stood outside your window

Just a little too long.

 

What you're gonna do

When the hours pass away

And you know that I'm gone.

Well, it may be a week,

It may be a day,

I'm six blocks over

And I don't know what to say to you.

 

Jokin' 'bout your mama

Went a little too far.

But you caught me

Out with the others

Till the early dawn.

 

There may be a time

If we played it right

I'm six blocks over

And you wanna spend a night with me.

 

Now the hours and the minutes

Just fly away.

You win some and you lose some,

You gotta get it right

Or I'll be saying

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye.

 

Thinkin' back to

The way you're holdin' me down,

I'd be better off dead.

 

Now you know

That the time is running out

Of the things we said.

 

Well, it may be a week,

It may be a day,

I'm six blocks over

And I don't know what to say to you.

 

Now the hours and the minutes

Just fly away.

You win some and you lose some,

You gotta get it right

Or I'll be saying

Bye bye bye bye ...

 

 

 

"Wait And See"

 

 

There you go looking cool,

Writing rules

For your theories of romance.

 

I know that you doubt me,

But without me

You'd be tearing off your one chance.

 

Wait and see,

This could be the last time for me.

Baby, just wait and see.

 

All the times

I came running back

Down the path of the least resistance.

 

I felt my body

Was just a hobby

For your heart's indifference.

 

Wait and see,

This could be the last time for me.

Now baby, can't you wait and see?

Just you wait and see.

Just you wait and see.

Wait and see.

 

I've been trapped by your innocence,

Haven't seen you since

You caught me, baby.

 

Shot down by the one I love,

Now I'm taking off

With the things you taught me.

 

Wait and see,

This could be the last time for me.

Now baby, can't you wait and see?

Just you wait and see.

Just you wait and see.

Wait and see.

 

 

"Give Me Your Love"

 

 

I can fool myself for a night

Goin' on

Like I don't need you any more.

 

That's like walking in the dark.

Tel me now

That you'll give me all your love.

 

Oh, give me your love give me your love

Or nothing at all nothing at all.

Oh, give me your love.

 

I've been everywhere and here I go again

Looking out for me and

Leaving you behind.

 

But let me hold you just one time.

So will you give me your love,

I'll know that you'll be mine.

 

Oh, give me your love give me your love

Or nothing at all nothing at all

Oh, give me your love.

 

 

 

 

"Wastin' Time"

 

 

Could have been a winner,

Should have taken me.

It was so ###### cold I shoulda held ya

'Cause you were shakin' me.

 

Well, I almost had a question,

When she led me home,

I spent too much time for one night

Bein' alone.

 

She said you're wastin' time,

You're takin' a chance on me.

You're wastin' time,

You're takin' a chance on me.

 

Should have got the rambler,

Back seat movie for two.

I spent too much time for one night

Bein' alone with you.

 

Should have seen her daddy

'Case he said she had to go.

I spent too much time for one night

Bein' all alone.

 

She said you're wastin' time,

You're takin' a chance on me.

You're wastin' time,

You're takin' a chance on me.

 

 

"Don't Ya Say It"

 

 

Things you said to me

Sentimentally

Are always on my mind.

Seems you haunted me

But you set me free

Long before you gave me time to escape.

 

The next time

I'll be on my way

'Cause it's time, it's true

I'm turning my back on you.

 

Don't ya say it,

Don't say you need me

You don't need me,

Don't even try.

 

Don't ya say it,

Don't say you want me,

You don't mean it,

Don't say good-bye.

 

You threw love at me

Indispensab'ly,

But you never could give it away.

And it seems to me

That you'd never be,

That's why I'll never stay with you.

 

You can't hold me down

'Cause it's my life too,

So this time it's true,

I'm turning my back on you

.

Don't ya say it,

Don't say you want me,

You don't mean it,

Don't even try.

 

Don't ya say it,

Don't say you need me,

You don't mean it,

Don't say good-bye.

 

Don't ya say it,

Don't say you need me,

You don't need me,

Don't even try.

 

Don't ya say it,

Don't say you want me,

You don't mean it,

Don't say good-bye.

 

 

 

"Remember"

 

 

Pardon me,

Have you got the time

To let me say hello.

Couldn't help but see

That you look like a lady I used to know

A long time ago.

 

Remember the time we spent together.

Remember the days I dreamt forever.

Remember the nights we stayed together.

Whatever I do I still remember.

 

It's hard to believe

That I held her up

And then she let me down.

Someone's sayin' to me

That she broke my heart and left me

Spinnin' round and round and round.

 

Remember the time we spent together.

Remember the days I dreamt forever.

Remember the nights we stayed together.

Whatever I do I still remember.

 

 

"State Of Mind"

 

 

I know that you're curious,

So don't be serious,

You know there's no cause for alarm.

 

When you're down - out

Left here in doubt,

All the things that are right will go wrong.

 

Love is a state of mind,

It's keepin' us both alive,

Sometimes it's hard to find.

Love's in a state of mind.

 

Wait just a minute,

You know that it's finished,

So don't you go carry it on.

 

Cause I'm down - out

Left here in doubt,

Well, we try but we can't get along.

 

Love is a state of mind,

It's keepin' us both alive,

Sometimes it's hard to find.

Love's in a state of mind.

 

 

"Try To See It My Way"

 

 

Ooh ... Try to see it my way.

Ooh ... Try to see it my way.

 

Well, I know you cover up

From all the things you did

That tied you up.

Just wanna let you know

That I wanna keep you warm

Until the sun warms up the dark.

 

So move in a little closer,

Then you can think it over,

Just try to see it my way.

Think it over,

Just try to see it my way.

 

Well, you said you needed time

for all the things

That run around your mind

How can I let you know

That I wanna keep you warm

Until the sun warms up the dark.

 

So move in a little closer,

Then you can think it over,

Try to see it my way.

Think it over,

Try to see it my way.

 

Think it over.

Think it over.

Try to see it my way, my way.

Think it over.

Just Try to see it my way.

"Tantalize"

 

 

From the east-side street, kick a tin can beat

Run through the jungle, a lion, a mongrel like you.

Such an easy mark for a hungry shark

Lost in the haze of the big city maze and it's through

 

Tantalize you, mesmerize you

Trick you with a smile

Capture with the style

A touch of magic sure to make you sigh

 

Can you still be a sail with this ball and chain

Run through the jungle, a lecher, a scoundrel, it's you

Keep yourself wide-eyed or they'll bleed you dry

Runnin' thru shadows of streets broad and narrow with you

 

Tantalize you, mesmerize you

Start to lose control

The city takes its toll

Beaten once, twice, shy, beware the law

 

Do you see (do you see)

At nights (at nights)

Do you see (do you see)

At nights (at nights)

 

 

 

"If Wishes Were Horses"

 

 

Come with me you can wish upon a star

You can do all the things that you've longed to

And you won't have to wonder who you are

You can be anybody you want to

In a land full of promises and kings

All your best laid dreams are for catchin'

You can have the world to tie up on a string

Just close your eyes and imagine

 

If wishes were horses

Beggars would ride

All dreams and desires would ride along side

Worries and troubles would fall off behind

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride

 

To a land far or near come along

There's an all new-round everyday glow

Like the young girl sang in the song

"Somewhere over the rainbow"

 

 

"Until I Find You"

 

 

I'm feelin' tired, my thoughts are lost without you

But I won't quit, I'll go down with my ship

Until I find you

 

Good thoughts are like wine, I think I'll bottle and share them

Please take the time, to open your eyes and shine

Until I find you

 

They can say what they will

But I really believe

Yes I really believe

I'll catch you if I can

I'll catch you if I can

I'll catch you if I can

 

They can say what they will

But I really believe

Yes I really believe

 

 

 

"Pushin' & Shovin'"

 

 

I could love her if she were a Rolls Royce

But she handles like a model - T

So get her in high gear, she can't stay here with me

 

At show time she'll be in the front row

And she'll try to put the make on me

Her friends will all laugh

While their instamatics flash

Will you see me all meanwhile

And she'll push and she'll shove and I'll smile

 

If you cast a glance in her direction

She's sure to wrap herself around your knees

She's always pushin' and shovin' at me

 

She can't control herself, it seems she's fallen off a shelf

And I can only say, Why me

And she'll push and she'll shove desperately

 

I could love her if she were a Rolls Royce

But she handles like a model - T

So get her in high gear, she can't stay here with me

 

If you cast a glance in her direction

She's sure to wrap herself around your knees

She's always pushin' and shovin' at me

 

Pushin' and shovin'

Pushin' and shovin'

Pushin' and shovin' me

 

 

 

"No. 5243605 Smith"

 

 

Stone cold cell

Raised from hell

Holdin' me

For first degree

One more morn

For calm, for dawn

You shall see

They'll come for me

 

I confessed

I've been blessed

All I need is one last request

 

I'll only get up in the morning

Tearin' down the songs

Hearing the radio

Blarin', darin', dancin' vigorly down the hall

We'll get in the do, I did it

Shoo-bee-doo's and all

Give us the grass around to tumble down

That gobbles our way, rock'n'roll

I wanna get up in the morning

Tearin' down the walls

I've got to face my music

Fore I face my lord

 

To think this is over

A crazy kind of show

Can't any of you tell me

Is there a better way to go?

Oh no!

 

5:15

Now's the time

I'll be fine

Here's my music one more time

 

I'll be here in the early morning

Tearin' down the song

Knockin' the radio

Blarin', darin', dancin' vigorly down the hall

I'll get in the do, did it

Shoo-bee-doo's and all

Watchin' the grass around

A rollin' round to good old passion rock'n'roll

I'll be here in the early morning

Tearin' down these walls

 

The music played and I must say I really had a ball

And now I guess I gotta go and meet those odd people down the hall

 

I don't wanna go this way

Though I know I've gotta pay

Would it change things anyway

If I said I'd like to stay?

What da ya say?

 

 

 

"Song For A Star"

 

 

This is a song for a star

If you really are a star

Here is a song for you all

Take a lesson before you fall

 

We're caught in the middle of everything

It's like trying to figure out which bell to ring

You think you'd made the start of it

But this is just the start of it now

 

Steppin' in time with your pace

Tho' we've never yet met face to face

This is a song for yourself

In the hopes that we don't do it wrong

 

We're caught in the middle of everything

Lookin' and turnin' out songs to sing

It could've been the start of it

But this is just the start of it now

 

You can be a star if you can climb

Just make sure you are in the nick of time

 

This is a song for a star (song for a star)

This is a song for a star (song for a star)

This is a song for a star

If you really are a star

This to whoever you are

If you really are a star

 

 

 

 

"Shut Up"

 

 

May it never be said she's knockin' them dead

But is there a fame, it's such a cryin' shame what they're sayin'

It's more than a game that they're playin'

At the start as we all should know

That she's some kind of sleaze, that's a social disease

Shut up, shut up

 

Don't tell me that my best friend's a menace

She might wind up in a book written by Guinness

It's all right with me, if she wants to be

As loony as the day she was born

Shut up, shut up

 

Call her name in the air and she'll soon be there

If you want her to be

Round me a bend and I'm needin' a friend she comes to me

 

The story book lies, there's stars in her eyes

She's one of a kind and I sure am glad that I met her

I couldn't have found one much better

But there's something we all should know

She's a kind of a gnu that belongs in a zoo

Shut up, shut up

 

Don't tell me that my best friends like Alice

Who might wind up in a looking-glass palace

It's all right with me, if she wants to be

As naughty as the day she was born

Shut up, shut up

 

Call her name in the air and she'll soon be there

If you want her to be

Round me a bend and I'm needin' a friend she comes to me

 

Don't tell me that my best friend's a menace

She might wind up in a book written by Guinness

It's all right with me, if she longs to be

As nutty as the day she was born

Shut up, shut up

 

Call her name in the air and she'll soon be there

If you want her to be

Round me a bend and I'm needin' a friend she comes to me

 

Shut up, shut up

"Say Hello Say Goodbye"

 

 

The costumes, the scenery that make up the props

The audience that lifts you when you're down

The headaches, the heartaches, the packing, the flops

The sheriff who escorts you out of town

 

There's no business like show business

There's no business I know

Everything about it is appealing

Everything the traffic will allow

Knowing that you get that happy feeling

When you're taking that extra bow

 

There's no business like show business

There's no business I know

Everything about it is appealing

Everything the traffic will allow

Knowing that you get that happy feeling

When you're taking that extra bow

 

Say hello say goodbye

Good to see you're glad to rock and roll you

Say hello say goodbye

 

You're the ones that really stole the show yeah

Split your spats as you're gone thru the band

It's good to move, to groove to you tonight

Tip your hat, to the boys in the band

Sorry but it's time to end this show yeah

 

 

"Roxy Roller"

 

 

Moxy from the Roxy might turn some heads tonight

Flashlight dream, peaches and cream delight

Roxy Roller

 

Fab up job she's got bubble gum on her knees

Down between the seats sometimes she'll toss you her key

Roxy Roller

 

Daddy the commissioner took far more than his share

So Roxy join the syndicate knowing it wasn't fair

Roxy Roller

"Run Rudolph Run"

 

Out of all the reindeer you know you're the mastermind

Run, run Rudolph, Randalph's not too far behind

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town

Randalph he can hurry, he can take the freeway down

And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round

 

Said Santa to a boy child "What have you been longing for?"

"All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric guitar"

And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a shooting star

 

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town

Can't you make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down

And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round

 

Said Santa to a girl child "What would you like most to get?"

"I want a little baby doll that can cry, scream and wet"

And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a Saber jet

 

Run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph, a running like a son-of-a-gun.

"Don't Give It Up"

 

Don't give it up

Don't give it up

 

Don't worry if the sun don't shine

You've seen it before, you don't need to worry

Every day's an uphill climb, nothing has changed

Believe me when I tell ya

 

Don't give it up

Don't give it up

 

Don't give up--you know it's true

Gotta do what you wanna do

Oh yeah

Don't give it up--you don't have to

Gotta do what you wanna do

Call me in the nighte babe

call me in the day

don't say I'm getting older

changed in every way

Close me like a book babe

when I'm old and grey.

Knockin' on your door I'm feelin' all fustrate

Don't turn me away babe
