Look in my eyes and you'll find
That I'm really gonna try this time
I know that love has hurt before
But I swear I'm gonna give a little more
Babe, I'm gonna Try
Try, (try)
Try to make it true
Yes, I'm gonna try, (try)
Try to make it true
Just look at our friends fall apart
It's easy these days to lose heart
So hold me close like you do
And believe me when I say to you
Babe, I'm gonna try, (try)
Try, (try)
Try to make it true
Yes, I'm, gonna try, (try)
Try to make it true
It's so easy to slide
When your love is away
Everybody begs you to choose
The ways to keep you safe
(instrumental)
So much of this world seems unreal
I can touch it but it has no feel
It's up to me, it's up to you
Seems to me it's the least we can do
Babe, we've gotta try, (try)
Try, (try)
Try to make it true
Yes, we've gotta try, (try)
Try to make it true
Try to make it true
Try to make it true
Try to make it true
Try to make it true
Try to make it, try to make it true
Try to make it, try to make it true
Try to make it true
Try to make it true
Try to make it true
Try to make it true
Try to make it
Try to make it
Try to make it
Saw my father living in a picture
Squinting in the Michigan sun
Caught forever in his blouse and knickers
Wasn't he the lucky one?
While the fear is growing stronger
The sun is almost gone
So hold me in your naked eye
And shoot me on the run
Oh, won't you please, please
Take another picture
Please, please freeze my features
Oh, won't you please, please
Take another
I don't wanna fade away
I saw a picture hidden in the bedroom
Underneath father's ties
A beautiful woman caught naked forever
Black strip over her eyes
I still remember that picture
The image sits sharp and clear
And I'll never erase that eyeless face
Still smiling all these years
Oh, won't you please, please
Take another picture
Please, please freeze my features
Oh, won't you please, please
Take another
Baby, your love, it surrounds me,
but never gives me half a chance,
I need a little heart and affection,
Cause love needs a little romance.
And we’ll never ever make it,
If you're pushin' me,
You’ve got to back off baby,
or I might leave you.
Gotta show me, hold me,
let love breathe tonight.
Give me the right kind of love, oh baby,
Give me the right kind of love,
Give me the right kind of love,
And I’ll be yours, tonight.
I’ll be yours.
Baby, you want some kind of promise,
Oh, ah, nothing is forever these days.
Lovers come and go,
Friends bought and sold,
Everything blows away.
You know, everything's changing baby,
Over night,
You gotta hold on to love,
But not too tight,
You’ve got see it, see it, it’s not for long,
But all right.
Give me the right kind of love, oh baby,
Give me the right kind of love,
Give me the right kind of love,
And I’ll be yours, tonight.
I'll be yours
Just tell me that love is right,
And look me in the eye.
I’ve got to know your heart tonight,
Before I give away a piece of my life.
Oh, give me the right kind of love, oh baby,
Give me the right kind of love.
Give me the right kind of love, oh baby,
Give me the right kind of love.
Oh, give me the right kind of love, oh baby,
You won't forget my eyes
Ooh, deep inside you realize
You're gonna see me
Wherever you go
You're gonna hear me
On your radio
There you are
In your car
And suddenly
You hear me
Do you want me
Do you want me
Take me to heart
I promise you a miracle
Take me to heart
You're gonna be mine
Take me to heart
You know it's just a matter of time
Whooo-oh-ooooooh-oh
I'm always on your mind
I'm the chill
That never left your spine
In the building
Where you live and breathe
I'm the sound
That never lets you sleep
Down the hall
Through the walls
You hear a voice that's calling
Do you want me
Do you want me
Take me to heart
Don't deny the miracle
Take me to heart
What more can I say
Take me to heart
Surrender's just a motion away
Whooo-oh-ooooooh-oooh
[Instrumental Interlude]
Do you want me
Do you want me
Do you want me
Do you want me
Take me to heart
Don't deny the miracle
Take me to heart
What more can I say
Take me to heart
Oh, won't you take me to heart
Won't you take me to heart
Surrender's just a motion away
It's just a motion away
Your gonna take me to heart
Your gonna take me to heart
Cryin' on the corner
Waitin' in the rain
I swear I'll never
Ever wait again
You gave me your word
But words for you are lies
Darlin' in my wildest dreams
I never thought I'd go, ooh-ooh
But it's time to let you know
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here
All of my life
I've been waitin' in the rain
I've been waiting for a feeling
That never, ever came
It feels so close
But always disappears
Darlin', in your wildest dreams
You never had a clue, ooh-ooh
But it's time you got the news
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here
[Instrumental Interlude]
Darlin' in my wildest dreams
I never thought I'd go
But it's time to let you know
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
Harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
No, oh, oh, oh
Harden my heart
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
Frankie, out on the street.
Working late again.
You know you see much better at night.
They call you "Cat's Eye".
Down on the corner, they call you "Mr. Flash".
They got some ladies who never see the light.
(Chorus)
And I'll work you when the day is through
on the Night Shift.
And I'll comfort you, and I'll love you too
on the Night Shift.
You won't ever want to see the sun when I'm done with
you -
You won't ever want to see the sun when I'm done with
done with you
(Sax Solo)
Hot shot, out on the street.
Playing one on one.
You know you shoot much better at night.
You gotta Joker down on the corner
and he cannot be shamed.
He's got some new tricks -
he never show them the light.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Sax and guitar solo)
(Repeat Chorus)
I walk on ice
I play with fire
For loving you, baby
I dance on wire
Oh I can't sleep at night
Loving you I pay that price
Loving you is like walking on ice
Who broke you down
Who's there to blame
Who tore you up inside
And left the pain
Oh, someone burned your life
And everyday I pay that price
Everyday I'm walking on ice
Time after time I wake up and find
I want you, I'm calling
Like always I'm falling on ice
Walking on ice
I can't blink an eye
Loving you I pay that price
There's a miracle waiting, there's a ticket worth
taking
There's a reason to believe your eyes
An ounce of conviction is the only admission
Yeah, it's risky, but it's worth the ride
And all the dreams that you've held inside
Yes, they're waiting to break out, you just have to try
Make it shine, let your heart beat right in time
Make it shine, lay your whole world on the line
Find a clue and unfold it, shake the dust off and hold
If it tells you something let me know
So much is forgotten, so much worth unlocking
Won't you tell me how to break the code
And never worry 'bout the things you read
It's so easy to tear down, so hard to believe
Too may dreamers are fading, shine on, shine on, shine
Live -there's a life to live
Give -there's a gift to give
Yes -there's a reason to make it
Shine on and make it true,
Work -make it work for you
Yes -there's a reason to make it shine
Find a secret and learn it, find a key there and turn
Do whatever you do through the night
A skill in your fingers like a memory lingers
You gotta do it till it comes out right
You never know till you take a chance
There's someone out there tonight
Who's lost and lonely, too
There's a heart beating just with mine
There's a voice in the air
But it just can't get through
I'm hoping that someday I'll find someone
I don't want to wait here anymore, lonely
I can't face another closing door...
Talk to me, open up your heart
Oh love's so lonely when you're in the dark
Talk to me, take it from the start
Oh, love comes easy when you show your heart
There's a song in the air,
But I can't hear the words
There's a promise that's never made
There's a voice in the streets
That no one's ever heard
I'm hoping I'll hear it someday calling...
I don't want to wait here anymore, lonely
I can't face another closing door...
Talk to me, open up your heart
Oh love's so lonely when you're in the dark
Talk to me, take it from the start
Oh, love comes easy when you show your heart
Somewhere there's a voice that's calling
Someone who's alone and falling
I don't want to wait here anymore, lonely
I can't face another closing door...
Talk to me, open up your heart
Oh love's so lonely when you're in the dark
Talk to me, take it from the start
They'll shine a light in your eyes
They'll set you up with their lies, sweet lies
Shane, if you leave me, they'll hurt you believe me
And something inside you will die-
I know the reason you bleed
I understand what you need, and you need me
Babe, I can help you, think of nights that I held you
And only I can make you sleep
Shane, Shane, no one will hide you
Like the one that cries your name-
Shane nobody wants you
Like the one that haunts your dreams
I know the voices you hear
I know the secrets you fear
Dreams that will wake you, faces that shake you
Remember that I've always been near
Forget the love that I gave you
Forget the child that I saved
Only I know your heartbeat, only I know your backstreets
The kids are hungry
And they line up and down the street
Just to catch a glimpse
Of the miracle of the week
But I knew there was something wrong
When the king had nothing on
Oh, no!
You say that it feels right
You say that it fits tight
You say that it moves light
But it don't move me
You say that it's in time
You say that it feels fine
You say that it moves
But it don't move me
Excuse me baby,
But I just can't catch the thrill
Of watching some joker
On the big screen make the kill
I'm sorry if it breaks your heart
But it don't tear me apart
Oh, no
You say that it feels right
You say that it fits tight
You say that it moves light
But it don't move me
You say that it's in time
You say that it feels fine
You say that it moves
But it don't move me
Don't move me
Everybody needs a new thrill a day
And you know somebody's gonna sell it
But when the screams die down
And the dreams leave town
I should have learned this lesson long ago
That friends and lovers always come and go
And now you claim
that everything's "O.K.", but I've got just one thing
to say...
Why don't you...
Find another (find another)
Find another fool to love you
Find another (find another)
Find another fool to love you
Find another...find another...find another fool...to
love you
To love you...find another.....
I don't believe that I deserve this ride
You took me for my very heart and pride
You let me down...and now your hand is out
Well, here's some...spare change...you can count
Why don't you...
Find another (find another)
Find another fool to love you
Find another (find another)
Find another fool to love you
Find another...find another...find another fool...to
love you
To love you...find another.....
You pulled this once...you pulled it twice
It's time you listened to my advice....oh, baby
I'd never take advantage of our love
I can't imagine what you're thinkin' of
You're over due...you think this storm is through..
Well, baby, I've got news for you
Why don't you...
Find another (find another)
Find another fool to love you
Find another (find another)
Find another fool to love you
Find another...find another...find another fool...to
love you
Standing in your doorway
Nothing much to see
Remember conversations
Between you and me
Forgot about the feeling
Forgot about the pain
Forgot about the hopeful nights
Calling again
Just a victim of the moment-
Nobody's fault, nobody fooled
Ah, it's funny how things seem to slip away
From me and you...so I keep going
From eye to eye
Face to face
Moving oh so fast
Never getting any place
I keep going
Eye to eye
And face to face
Will I ever find you, will I ever find you?
Looking in a window
Nothing much to do
Almost feeling humble
Needing you
Most of my embraces
Don't hold on so tight
But after all, if I don't try
What will feel right?
Yes, it has to make me wonder-
I'm so alone and yet so free
Ah, it's funny how things seem to slip away
From you and me - still I keep going
From eye to eye
Face to face
Moving oh so fast
Never getting any place
I keep going
Eye to eye
And face to face
I saw you late last night
You make me so right
Your things are so shallow in the street light
But under all that chic
I thought I caught a peek
Of something that resembled a heart
Don't be lonely, Oh don't be lonely
Give me your heart and I'll, I'll give you mine
Don't be lonely, Oh don't be lonely
There's so much love and so, So little time
I've seen you look my way
There's things you wanna say
There's things you wanna tell me, so tell me
I see no reason to hide
We're all afraid inside
We're all afraid to trust somebody
Don't be lonely, Oh don't be lonely
Give me your heart and I'll, I'll give you mine
Don't be lonely, Oh don't be lonely
There's so much love and so, So little time
And though you never really lose yourself
Never dare to dance
But you know you've only half a life
Unless you're taking a chance
Ooooh, baby baby baby once in a while
We'll get to you, darling, then I make you smile
And for a second I know all he can be
So open up darling and don't be lonely
Don't be lonely, Oh don't be lonely
Give me your heart and I'll, I'll give you mine
Don't be lonely, Oh don't be lonely
There's so much love and so, So little time
Don't be lonely, don't, don't, Oh don't be lonely
Give me your heart and I'll, I'll give you mine
Don't be lonely, Oh don't be lonely
There's so much love and so, So little time
Don't be lonely, don't, don't, Oh don't be lonely
I didn't have a chance in art school
You offered to help this poor fool
And I was more than pleased
That you had taken me under your wing
And during those first encounters
I sensed a curious power
But I was ill equipped
To understand your subtle hints
Oh Valerie!
Oh! I never thought it would go this far
Oh Valerie-hee!
I never thought it would go-o-o-o this far
I never suspected your intentions
When you showed unusual affection
But when you kissed my cheek
My world collapsed my knees went weak
That moment just made no sense
I lost my nerve and innocence
I turned and ran away
I'll never understand that day
Oh Valerie!
Oh! I never thought it would go this far
Oh Valerie-hee!
I never thought it would go-o-o-o this far
It's so easy to see now
You dropped a thousand clues
But no matter which way I turn I've something to lose
Something to lose!
Oh Valerie!
Oh! I never thought it would go this far
Oh Valerie-hee!
I never thought it would go-o-o-o this far
The last I saw of Valerie
She was followed in the school's art gallery
By some aspiring soul
I hope she understands her role
Still stumped in my confusion
With one last innocent illusion
I've got just this to say
I wish there had been an easier way
Oh-ho! Valerie
I never thought it would go this far
Oh Valerie-hee!
I never thought it would go- whoah-o-o-o!
Oh Valerie!
Oh! I never thought it would go this far
Oh Valerie-hee!
Quarterflash
Back Into Blue
Love Without A Net (You Keep Falling)
Climb the stairs, take his hand
Take his word, there's a place to land
So you weigh the risk of another fall
But you heed the moon when you hear her call
And up on the roof and out on the ledge
You let go to love, and you step off the edge...
Oh... you keep falling you give your love away
Oh... you keep falling in love without a net
You use your heart to break your fall
Like a dream lights go down
Crowds below never make a sound
And you want to run but you need to fly
And you fall again, but you close your eyes
And up on the wire, alone on the stand
You let go to love, but there's nowhere to land
Oh... you keep falling you give your love away
Oh... you keep falling in love without a net
You use your heart to break your fall
Love's no gift, love will end
You learn to fall and you learn to bend
And your diamond wings break like glass
You jump again just to see what happens...
Oh... you keep falling you give your love away
Oh... you keep falling in love without a net
Two dollar tips and the lipstick cigarettes
Get yourself a job with your fingertips
Too many tickets for the backseat matinee
Two hours later and you're looking for another face
Don't ask for love
Don't ask for pity
Don't ask for me
Welcome to the city
Four hundred dollars bus a room in the city
With a whole lot of people and a hole in the ceiling
Freeze in the winter, die in the summer
Seventeen kids next door without a mother
Hey, if you see me coming up the stairs
Please don't confuse me with someone who cares
Welcome to the city... I'm glad you made it, baby
I'm really...
You got some letter, it's a recommendation
Your best friend's ex sent a copy to the station
And he knows some agent through a distant realtion
An inside connection with a map and directions
Ah, too bad you came
Too bad you waited
Too bad for you
You're over-educated
Welcome to the city... I'm glad you made it, baby
I'm really glad
Don't ask for love
Don't ask for pity
Don't ask for me
Written by Marv Ross
It's just too easy to hide in these trees
Rust in this water up to your knees
Not many dreamers ever get out alive
Some kind of sickness sleeps in this town
I barely got out, but so many drown
The more you struggle,
The faster you're gonna sink
You're shakin', you're shakin' the jinx
You're beating the odds by the skin of your teeth
Baby, baby, it's a long way down
They want to be there when you hit the ground
You gotta shake it right in their face and smile
And when you've got 'em right in the palm of your hand
You don't need 'em 'cause you understand
So you turn slowly and you give the boys one last wink
And then...
You're shakin', you're shakin' the jinx
You're beating the odds by the skin of your teeth
You gotta face the fools who put sand in the gears
You gotta shake a fist at a thousand different fears
You gotta break it, fake it
But never let 'em know what you think
While...
You're shakin', you're shakin' the jinx
All the trouble I make through the things I do
They keep catching up with me
They tend to leave us to
I don't always know when I'm right
But I sure know when I'm wrong
I'm feeling self pity and yet
Still writing sad stupid songs
She says you
Say what you want
Do what you say
These are critical times
Love is fading away
We can go through the tops
And we can live through these games
It never changes how it feels
When your love is fading away
You lose all track of yourself
When you're feeling that way
You could always hide yourself in corners
Worrying about all the miserable things but
Everyone seems to swim in it
It makes the world go round
I'm somewhere floundering
Feeling like I've been drowned
So I say what I want
And I do what I say
These are critical times
Love is fading away
I can go through the tops
And I can live through these games
It never changes how it feels
When your love is fading
I don't believe in much
And I never gave it time
To tell anybody how I'm willing to give to them
All my life yeah
I don't believe it
She has a look there in her eyes
She's trying to get through to me
She's gonna stick this out one more time
So you're cruisin' down the road of life
Should be feeling strong
You never had the feeling yet
And it always leads you all wrong
You're best when you grab hold of yourself
Since you know you're gonna fall
You can check out on me any time that you like
Love is bittersweet, that's all
So we say what we want
And we do what we say
These are critical times
Love is fading away
We can go through the tops
And we can live through these games
It never changes how it feels
When your love is fading
Oh no you say what you want (say what you want)
And you do what you say (you do what you do by now that)
These are critical times
Love is fading away
We can go through the tops (through the tops)
And we can live through these games
So many years I've been waiting alone
So many days in blue
Thinking that life maybe passed me by
Then suddenly I found you
And now all of my life seems to change overnight
And I don't know what to do
You say you want to be mine
That it's love this time
I want to believe it's true
I want to believe it's you
It's never easy for me in love
I never can find what I need
I need a lover that's lost but hasn't lost touch
Someone who's lost like me
And then I come on too strong and I play it all wrong
I don't know why I do
But something tells me tonite
That this might be right
I want to believe it's true
I want to believe it's you
Oh... I want to believe it's true
Oh... I want to believe it's you
I keep having this dream that I go through
A man holds me close but I never see who
Babe, can't you see that
I want to believe it's you
It's easy to hide your heart away
It's easy to never choose
I've loved and I've lost and I've lost my way
And now I'm afraid to lose
But when you say that it's right
That it's here tonight
I'm ready to see it, too
Like a prisoner's release
Like a promise of peace
I want to believe it's true
Written by Marv Ross (words) / Marv & Rindy Ross (music)
You're young and hungry and you're not satisfied
You take your chances and walk that tentative line
You push a little harder and leave old friends behind
But, baby, sooner or later you could wake up and find
That you have run out of time, and you know you've got
Nowhere left to hide
Nothing to protect your heart this time
You've got nowhere left to hide
You know the feeling of walking out in that ring
You weigh your hunger against the fear that it brings
And in that moment at night when you finally decide
You better be sure you've got shelter
When the whole thing unwinds
And something's breaking inside
'Cause you know you've got
Nowhere left to hide
Nothing to protect your heart this time
You've got nowhere left to hide
I've seen them run, I've seen them broken
I've seen them fold without a word even spoken
Oh, all it takes is a little fire
Well, they watch your eyes, they learn your weakness
They turn it up, and you know
The lean is on, the lean is on
Oh, sooner or later, you're gonna catch heat
There's no use running away
Everything hurries to eat or be eaten, they say
Oh, Papa was right, nothing rates higher
The coolest of cool is grace under fire
Back in the shadows there's the law of the city
Work on the one who shows the first sign of pity
I know, I know
Well, they knock on your door, and they call out your number
And your legs won't move, and you heart starts running
You'll know, you'll know
Oh, Papa was right, nothing rates higher
The coolest of cool is grace under fire
You've got to be the diamond, you've got to be the steel
The lucky have ice in their veins,
They laugh at the devil
And burn like a torch in the rain
Oh, The Jesus was cool, no one bet higher
Here I go into blue
You think I'd learn
To stay away from you,
But, baby, here I go
Here I go, back into blue
I can't believe what I do
Did I really think
That you'd come through
Oh, baby, here I go
Here I go, back into blue
Into blue
Here I go again
I'm falling off the end for you
No matter what I do
I'm always back into blue
Some people learn, some will lose
Some people never see a single clue
But baby, here I go
Here I go, back into blue
Only love makes a fool
Out of me over you
Oh, baby, here I go
Here I go, back into blue
Into blue
Here I go again
I'm falling off the end for you
No matter what I do
I'm always back into blue
Some people learn to protect their hearts
They say "no" when the feeling starts
But some fools live their lives in the dark
For you, for you, for you
Yes it's true, I'm a fool
To ever take a chance on you
Oh, baby, here I go
Here I go, back into blue
Oh, baby, here I go
In the eye of the storm you found me
I was caught in the rain like you
And it pulled us down together
And it tangled us in blue
Oh, all of my life
I wanted that night
Together and still it remains
I still hear the rain
I can't get it out of my heart
And I will wait for you forever
No matter what you do or say
I'll wait for you forever
'Cause I'm still caught in the rain
They say the eye of the storm is quiet
And that's where I'll wait for you
They say dreams can show us answers
Oh, baby, I hope that's true
'Cause night after night
I dream of a light
That shows me, back through the rain
I find you again
I can't get it out of my heart
And I will wait for you forever
No matter what you do or say
I'll wait for you forever
'Cause I'm still caught in the rain
Oh, all of my life
I wanted that night
Together and still it remains
I still hear the rain
I can't get it out of my heart
And I will wait for you forever
No matter what you do or say
I'll wait for you forever

Pop up clean about in a Phantom
The people go screamin like an opera anthem
I did it before
I? d do it again
I got it to blow, got it to spin
Lies before, cool as the wind
Got hits go back like juice 'n' jin, yeah
Shine the best and diamond necklace
My extravagant taste, the style perplexes
They know im the shit, they wanna get next
That? s why she had a fit cuz she wanted to get next to his
I'm here, when will you make your move
I see you, I am me, I want cha, why don't cha
come to me, I can be, what you need oh baby
Im standin', been waitin', I? m yearnin? im burnin?
Come to know me
Wanna come, come get to know me
Come to show me (Repeat)
Some do it for love and some for less
Some do it for touch and tenderness
They do it for power and for control
They do it for money and for rock 'n' roll
Some people don't know why they do
But I, I know, I do it just for, just for
Just for you and nobody else
Just for you, baby, can't you tell
Just for you, you know what I mean
Just for you even in my dreams
Where I say "Talk to me, couchez-vouz"
It's easy with you
I know what you need
I know what to do
Just for you
Some to heal and some to hurt
Some for thrills and some for dirt
Some to remember, some to forget
Some do it for anything they can get
Oh, some people don't know why they do
But I, I know, I do it just for, just for
Just for you in the night
Just for you, baby, dressed in white
Just for you, you know what I mean
Just for you even in my dreams
Where I say "Talk to me, couchez-vouz"
It's easy with you
I know what you need
I know what to do

Say goodbye to the life you've been living
So long to the friends you hold dear
You're life's been jarred and moved out of focus
From far away will it all become clear?
Where is the time given to love
Where are the nights that we're missing
Where is the joy that we knew
Am I lost again, lost again, lost and confused?
Standing close to the work you've been painting
Shades and lines diffuse when so near
Standing back does it all fall together
From far away will it all become clear
Written by Jack Charles
I've never had what I wanted
I had to fight for what I've got
I'd gamble with anything to keep from feeling
Like a dime in a dollar slot
But that's alright
I've got one more pitch to throw
I'd better hang on to myself tonight
I've got one more round to go
I've always had too much ambition
And it's making me a wreck
I'm bad with small talk,
Feel like I've got the hand, but not a full deck
But that's alright
I've got one more ace to show
I'd better hang on to myself tonight
I've got one more round to go
Oh, all that I want is to be left alone
But they keep calling, thinking I'm stalling
Oh, all that they want -give it heart
Give it soul, don't forget rock and roll
And by morning, need it by morning
They say, "Let's go"
My baby's been giving me a hard time
And I don't know what to do
I'm up sleepwalking, keep on talking
Hell, I don't know who to
But that's alright
I've got one more chance to blow
I'd better hang on to myself tonight
I've got one more round to go-
I'd better hang on to my ass tonight
Cryin' on the corner, waitin' in the rain
I swear I'll never, ever wait again
You gave me a word, but words for you are lies
Darlin', in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go
But it's time to let you know
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here
All of my life, I've been waitin' in the rain
I've been waitin' for a feeling that never, ever came
It feels so close but always disappears
Darlin', in your wildest dreams, you never had a clue
But it's time you got the news
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here
Darlin', in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go
But it's time to let you know
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here
I'm a-gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm a-gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
Harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
No, oh, oh, oh
Harden my heart
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
