Oh how I hate when it's over
To say good-bye
No one could say we didn't give it a good try
Went straight for the heart with all we could feel
You gave me the best part
And I gave you my heart
Will you remember me
Will I be just another lover
In you memory
Long after tonight
And for as far as I can see
I'll remember you
Will you remember me
Don't turn out the light
Cause there's more to be said
There's a bottle of wine
We haven't finished yet
Guess it's all in the way
We live for today
You gave me the best part
And I gave you my heart
Will you remember me
Will I be just another lover
In you memory
Long after tonight
And for as far as I can see
I'll remember you
(Kim Carnes/Duane Hitchings)
Is anybody in there
Is anybody home
Is anybody in there
Is anybody home
Can anybody hear me
Does anybody know
Know the way to break out of the undertow
When you need to hear your heartbeat
Just to know that you're alive
When someone's crying help me
You can see it in their eyes
Circumstance is deadly
Too afraid to know
The moment that we wake up
Caught in the undertow
Has anybody seen her
We've searched the city high and low
We've even heard her calling
From a place that no one knows
Listen you can hear her calling
I will never let you go
You're caught in the undertow
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me
Works real hard in an all night cafe
Says she loves her job
Wouldn't have it any other way
Then he walks in wearin' cheap cologne
She said I'll take off early
If you'll take me home
Come on honey say you will
Jump on into my Coupe De Ville
There's a Mexico sunset standing still
Let's fall in love to the thrill of the grill
His hair was slick but he was slicker
His touch was radioactive
And it made her shiver
When he emptied his pockets
They were filled with champagne
He held out his hand
As he called out her name
Come on honey say you will
Jump on into my Coupe De Ville
There's a Mexico sunset standing still
Let's fall in love to the thrill of the grill
Sideways--oh my God I'm sideways
Half-crazed--dizzy dazed and waylayed
The boss said Phillis have you gone mad
You're the best short order
That I ever had
Don't throw it all away
On a one night fling
Don't be a fool for a foolish thing
So she tore off her apron
Threw down the pan
She said buzz it boss
You just don't understand
I've waited all my life
To feel the thrill
To be carried away
By the thrill of the grill
So come on honey yes I will
I'll jump on into your Coupe De Ville
There's a Mexico sunset standing still
Tear's edge,
Walking around with a hole straight through my heart
Walking on a window without a ledge
I'm on tear's tear's edge
Out of my head waiting for you to call
I don't ever get lonely
I guess in this case I'm just feeling miserable
It's not the same since you told me
Never have felt like this before
Consider the chance I take
I never kept my eyes on the door
I'm risking everything
I'm walking on tear's edge,
Walking around with a hole straight through my heart
Walking on a window without a ledge
I'm on tear's tear's edge
I'm walking
I'm walking
I'm walking
I'm walking tear's edge
Obviously your number is on her wall
And she don't ever get lonely
Your definitely the one that she wants to call
She's got eyes for you only
You carry the moment in your heart
Consider the price you'll pay
This doesn't have to be the start
Or ending of anything
I'm walking on tear's edge,
Walking around with a hole straight through my heart
Walking on a window without a ledge
I'm on tear's tear's edge
I'm walking
I'm walking
I'm walking
I'm walking tear's edge
Now she wants you back again
Now she wants you back
Never have felt like this before
Consider the chance I take
I never kept my eyes on the door
I'm risking everything
I'm walking on tear's edge,
Walking around with a hole straight through my heart
Walking on a window without a ledge
I'm on tear's tear's edge
I'm walking
I'm walking
I'm walking
I'm walking tear's edge
I'm walking
I'm walking
I'm walking
Try walking tear's edge
I'm walking on tear's edge,
Walking around with a hole straight through my heart
Walking on a window without a ledge
I'm on tear's tear's edge
I'm walking
I'm walking
I'm walking
Walking around with a hole straight through my heart
Walking on a window without a ledge

Irresistible you I bet you knew
About everything in this world
A winning show lettin' everyone know
They were lucky just to be your girl
I should have know better than
To get mixed up with you
You swept me off my feet
Turned me around
Took my heart and then you took me down
You swept me off my feet
And like a fool I fell
I fell straight to you
Now I can tell ya how it feels
To play the part of the fool
How it feels
To have the heart of the fool
So debonair with a gentleman's flair
You asked me out one evenin'
And though I tried to conceal how you make me feel
You knew just what I was thinkin'
And before I knew it
I was mixed up with you
You swept me off my feet
Turned me around
Took my heart and then you took me down
You swept me off my feet
And like a fool I fell
I fell straight to you
Now I can tell ya how it feels
To play the part of the fool
How it feels
To have the heart of the fool
I guess you pulled it off
You're a winner again
And I've got to hand it to ya
Cause I'm still entranced still romanced
And honey I stil love ya
But I should have known better than
To get mixed up with you
You swept me off my feet
Turned me around
Took my heart and then you took me down
You swept me off my feet
And like a fool I fell
I fell straight to you
Now I can tell ya how it feels
To play the part of the fool
How it feels
(Kim Carnes)
Stay away leave me alone
Say away from my door
Cuz' you'll hurt me again
Like you hurt me before
Don't want no excuses
I don't want no more lies
I don't like crying
So I keep it inside
Do me a favor for God's sake please
Say away
Stay away out of my dreams
Stay away from my nights
You're there in the darkness
So I leave on the nights
Well I don't want no wiskey
Cuz is heightens the pain
Make me call you at midnight
And beg you come back again
Do me a favor for God's sake please
Stay away
Cuz time is to short
To waste it on regrets
They say it heals a broken heart
That's waiting to forget
Stay away leave me alone
Say away from my door
Cuz' you'll hurt me again
Like you hurt me before
But if you should need me
Well it might be alright
I suppose you could call me up some lonely night
But do me a favor for God's sake please
You come home late
And you come home early
You come on big
When you're feeling small
And you come home curly
Sometimes you don't come home at all
So what in the world's come over you
What in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out their runnin'
Just to be on the run
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and jealous mind
Well how can a love
That will last forever
Get left so far behind
So what in the world's come over you
What in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out their runnin'
Just to be on the run
It's a mighty mean and dreadful sorrow
That crossed the evil line today
How can you ask about tomorrow
When we ain't go one word to say
So what in the world's come over you
What in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out their runnin'
Just to be on the run
You're out their runnin'
Just to be on the run
You're out their runnin'
I found love enough to hold you
Tonight I'll stir the fire you feel inside
Until the flames of love enfold you
Laying beside you lost in the feeling
So glad you opened my door
Come with me
Somewhere in the night
We will know
Everything lovers should know
You're my song
Music too magic to end
I'll play you over and over again
Loving so warm, moving so right
Closing our eyes and feeling alive
We'll just go on burning bright
Somewhere in the night
You'll sleep when the morning comes
And I'll lie and watch you sleeping
And you'll smile
When you dream about the night
Like it's a secret you've been keeping
Laying beside you lost in the feeling
So glad you opened my door
Come with me
Somewhere in the night
We will know
Everything lovers can know
You're my song
Music too magic to end
I'll play you over and over again
Loving so warm, moving so right
Closing our eyes and feeling alive
We'll just go on burning bright
Somewhere in the night
Loving so warm
Moving so right
Closing our eyes and feeling alive
We'll just go on burning bright
Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night
We learn to hold it in
Hide our hearts
Don't let it show
So scared
We forget to sayh
All the words when
We need them most
Rough edges take time
Understading
Never losing our
Rough edges take time
Holding onto
And I still want you
Sometimes people change
And sometimes I don't
Know you
It runs by
We stumble through
Round and round
Cause we know our
Rough edges take time
Understading
Never losing our
Rough edges take time
Holding onto
And I still want you
Rough edges take time
Understading
Never losing our
Rough edges take time
Holding onto
And I still want you
And I still want you
We learn to hold it in
Hide our hearts
Ah everybody trying to use a piece of the heart
But we strain the thread and it tears apart
So many people trying and they just can't stop
Living for tomorrow, trying to beat the clock
And the trying to change the cycle going round and round
But the ink's run dry and the book ain't bound
You say, give me some direction 'cause I lost my way
But they don't make maps for the world we made
Maybe we would find love along the ledge
Where emotion still so far pretense
Remember how it was when it so easily came
Help me find the feeling again
Living on memories
Give it one more try
'Cause you never know
Until you show
What's there behind those eyes
Living on memories
Living like enemies
Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by
Now I'm running circles just to catch a view
But it seemed like love that's the way with you
So many people trying, they just can't see
That a captured heart doesn't want to be free
Maybe we can find love along the ledge
Where emotion still so far pretense
Remember how it was when it so easily came
Help me find the feeling again
Living on memories
Give it one more try
'Cause you never know
Until you show
What's there behind those eyes
Living on memories
Living like enemies
Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by
Maybe we would find love along the ledge
Where emotion still so far pretense
Remember how it was when it so easily came
Help me find the feeling again
Living on memories
Give it one more try
'Cause you never know
Until you show
What's there behind those eyes
Living on memories
Living like enemies
Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by
Living on memories
Give it one more try
'Cause you never know
Until you show
What's there behind those eyes
Living on memories
Living like enemies
Disguise it all behind the wall of broken hearts gone by
Living on memories
You run from surrender and your persona's clean
You stay away from mirrors
Cause the eyes just look too mean
You are young and you are ravaging your fate
Save me from desire you've got to much to hide
I remember when you could not swallow your own pride
Now you're married to your own uncertainty
And you're back again to off that to me
It's only lonely love
Only lonely
Only lonely love
Only lonely
You better give it up honey
Only lonely
All you gypsy cargo
They better run they'd better flee
They don't know how far you'll go
To cover your own need
You don't think that anyone can set you straight
You have landed on you feet and on the take
But it's only lonely love
Only lonely
Only lonely love
Only lonely
You better give it up honey
Only lonely
I got too much to lose and I'm not into being
Lost and abused it's too plebian
I'm giving it up
And you're only lonely
Only lonely
Only lonely love huh
Only lonely
You better give it up honey
Don't lean on me
It's only lonely love
Only lonely
You never get enough do you
Well not from me
Only lonely love oooh oooh
Churning and burning its a love attack
Don't run for cover it will turn you around in your tracks
Pull you right back
And once it starts its like a thunder ride
Cover to cover it's the kind of a book I could write
Best seller twice
Don't want to show the look in your eyes
Getting too close for comfort
There ain't nothing better than love
Put out the fire and it still ain't enough
Fever to fever till it fits like a glove
Cause there ain't nothing better than love
Head over heels it's not the heart that you lack
The force is over and you know you had to react
Don't have to look back
Don't want to show the look in your eyes
Getting too close for comfort
There ain't nothing better than love
Put out the fire and it still ain't enough
Fever to fever till it fits like a glove
Cause there ain't nothing better than love
Never will be and there never was
Nothing oh nothing
Nothing better for me no nothing
Never never will be no nothing
Don't want to show the look in your eyes
Getting too close for comfort
There ain't nothing better than love
Put out the fire and it still ain't enough
Fever to fever till it fits like a glove
Cause there ain't nothing better than love
There ain't nothing better than love
Put out the fire and it still ain't enough
Fever to fever till it fits like a glove
Cause there ain't nothing
There ain't nothing better than love
Fever to fever till it fits like a glove
Cause there ain't nothing
Did she tell you it's over
Did she throw you out in the night
And here you come to your other lover
Thinkin' that a restless heart
Will get you high again
But I've change the number
Of my telephone
You won't find me when you come callin'
And I'll say
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
Did you think I'd be waiting for you
Did you think I'd be holding my breath
To hear the songs of your footsteps
Sayin' its all over with her
And now you need me
Now you need me
But I've change the number
Of my telephone
You won't find me when you come callin'
And I'll say
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
So don't try to call me anymore with your lies
Don't be a fool and make the
Mistake of thinking I still love you
Oh anyone can tell I'm find
And I don't need you
But I've change the number
Of my telephone
You won't find me when you come callin'
And I'll say
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
Must be a case of mistaken identity

Larry got a job as a soda jerk
Worked five days bought a 55 merc
He raised it in the front
He lowered in the back
Now all the girls just call him Mercury Jack
He's the Merc man how do you do
Merc man that's who
Merc man he likes to cruise around
Merc man he's got his coolness down
Saturday night Larry's in the valley dancin'
He looks across the room
And spots some black stretch
Pants and she got
Legs tha go clear up to the rafters
A pair of nocturnal fantasy hips
He knew right away what
He was after
When she looked his way and moistened her lips
He said I'm the Merc man how do you do
Merc man that's who
Merc man he likes to cruise around
Merc man he's got his coolness down
Larry's pulse quickened
As she crossed the floor
He backed up slowly
And showed her to the door
She yes with her xray eyes
She walked up to him
And he just sighed
I'm the Merc man how do you do
Merc man that's who
Merc man he likes to cruise around
Love comes from the most unexpected places
In someone's eyes you've never met
Who wants to get to know you
In someone's smile you can't forget
And if the music plays on in your mind
Take all the love that you can find
And if love takes you in
Take all the love that you can find
And hope it comes again
Love comes from the most unexpected places
A love song on the radio
You never hear enough of
In bars that thrive on loneliness
Where people sell their sorrow for your time
They take the love that they can find
And if love takes them in
They take the love that they can find
And hope it comes again
Love comes in many ways
In lover's arms
In sweet bouquets
But if nothin's said
Then nothin's ever heard
Here I stand outside your door
And I'm trying to tell you just once more
That I love you
I still love you
Love comes from the most unexpected places
In someone's eyes you've never met
Who wants to get to know you
In someone's smile you can't forget
And if the music plays on in your mind
Take all the love that you can find
And if love takes you in
Take all the love that you can find
(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)
Please don't keep us waiting
Hurry light up the night
Big plans in the making
And we've got to do it up right
He'll pick me up at seven
I've been ready for an hour or more
We both smile cuz we both know
What's in store
Lookin' for a big night
Out on the town
Looking for a big night
As long as Friday rolls around
Lookin' for a big night
Out on the town
Lookin' for a big night
When every Friday rolls around
Every Monday morning
I start out feelin' real low
'Cause I've got for long nights
And five long days to go
Then I begin anticipating
Till there's no one else around
I think about you until my resistance
Don't wanna be found
Lookin' for a big night
Out on the town
Looking for a big night
As long as Friday rolls around
Lookin' for a big night
Out on the town
Lookin' for a big night
When every Friday rolls around
Comtemplating the madness
Keeps me in this state of mind
It's not the good it's the badness
That puts me over the line
Everybody should feel it
Everybody should know what it's like
To lose control
And lose your soul
To Friday night
Lookin' for a big night
Out on the town
Looking for a big night
As long as Friday rolls around
Lookin' for a big night
Out on the town
Lookin' for a big night

Jamaica Sunday morning
April 1803
Children at the harbor waitin' to see
There beyond the breakers
Heading into view
Sunlight in you sails
It was you
But paradise is closed today
Til' the moon is full and it pulls the tide
After all these years love is still alive
She still waits on the other side
The captain tried to warn the men
As he tried to mend the sails
But a whim of the wind
Was too much for him
And he failed
And at the same time on the shoreline
She was waiting for her captain
And she never believed it
When they told her what had happened
Paradise is closed today
Til' the moon is full and it pulls the tide
After all these years love is still alive
She still waits on the other side
Jamaica Sunday morning
April 1803
Children at the harbor waitin' to see
There beyond the breakers
Heading into view
Sunlight in you sails

If I ever feel the light again shinin' down on me
I don't have to tell you what a welcome it will be
I felt the light before but I let it slip away
But I still keep on believin' that it'll come back some day
It's not the spotlight
And it's not the camera light
And it's not the streetlight of some old street of dreams
It ain't the moonlight
Not even the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes
And you know what I mean
Sometimes I try to tell myself the light was never real
Just a fantasy that used to be the way I used to feel
But you and I know better now
Even though it's been so long
If your memory really server you well
You'll never tell me that I'm wrong
It's not the spotlight
And it's not the camera light
And it's not the streetlight of some old street of dreams
It ain't the moonlight
Not even the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes
And you know what I mean
If I ever feel the light again things will have to change
Names and faces homes and places will have to be rearranged
And you can help it come about
If your're ever so inclined
Ain't no rhyme or reason
Why a woman can't change her mind
It's not the spotlight
And it's not the camera light
And it's not the streetlight of some old street of dreams
It ain't the moonlight
Not even the sunlight
But I've seen it shining in your eyes
I have your photograph
I have it hanging on my wall
You neither cry or laugh
Finding it hard to forget it all
Oh I'm reachin' out my invisible hands
To touch you
Oh I'm reachin' out my invisible hands
To feel you
You make the evening news
You never had an alibi
Your evidence my be the truth
But they believed my lies
Oh I'm reachin' out my invisible hands
To touch you
Oh I'm reachin' out my invisible hands
To feel you
Is it a lie
When you're asking me why
Hold out my had
When you don't understand
Is it a lie
When you're asking me why
Who fires the gun..gun..gun..gun
Oh I'm reachin' out my invisible hands
To touch you
Oh I'm reachin' out my invisible hands
To feel you
Is it a lie
When you're asking me why
Hold out my had
When you don't understand
Is it a lie
When you're asking me why
Who fires the gun..gun..gun..gun
Oh I'm reachin' out my invisible hands
To touch you
Oh I'm reachin' out my invisible hands
I watched you walk into the room
I wanna say this just right
If you ain't waiting for somebody special
Would you be with me tonight
I'm a doctor I'm a lawyer
I'm a movie star I'm an astronaut
And I own this bar
And I would lie to you for your love
Yes I'd lie to you for your love
I'd lie to you for your love
And that's the truth
I could tell you what you wanna hear
And some secrets about myself
I could tell you you're the only one
And there could never be nobody else
I'm a doctor I'm a lawyer
I'm a movie star I'm an astronaut
And I own this bar
And I would lie to you for your love
Yes I'd lie to you for your love
I'd lie to you for your love
And that's the truth
I'm a doctor I'm a lawyer
I'm a movie star I'm an astronaut
And I own this bar
And I would lie to you for your love
Yes I'd lie to you for your love
I'd lie to you for your love
And that's the truth
And I would lie to you for your love
Yes I'd lie to you for your love
I'd lie to you for your love
Time hasn't healed the wound
I wish I was in her shoes
She's got the man I could never have
My kisses were never missed
How it hurts to be second best
Oh let me tell you what I have to do
To get through the night
I pretend that you're loving me after dark
Pretend that you're holding me next to your heart
Pretend that you wanted me right from the start
Oh I'm lost in my fantasy
I pretend that your valentine is for me
Pretend that I'm the only one that you need
Pretend that we're making love in our dreams
Oh I'm lost in my fantasy
Memories that should have died
Come alive when you walk on by
I wish my eyes could turn away
For this heart there is no escape
When the truth is too hard to take
Oh let me tell you what I have to do
To get through the night
I pretend that you're loving me after dark
Pretend that you're holding me next to your heart
Pretend that you wanted me right from the start
Oh I'm lost in my fantasy
I pretend that your valentine is for me
Pretend that I'm the only one that you need
Pretend that we're making love in our dreams
Oh I'm lost in my fantasy
I pretend that you're loving me after dark
Pretend that you're holding me next to your heart
Pretend that you wanted me right from the start
Oh I'm lost in my fantasy
I pretend that your valentine is for me
Pretend that I'm the only one that you need
Pretend that we're making love in our dreams
Outta her head
And outta her dreams
There he was just the way she's seen him
Lookin' at her a thousand times before
Said I can't believe
It's been five long years
Cause tonight they just seen to disappear
You still look the same
You haven't changed at all
She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again
Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
Cause we're hot as a gyspy honeymoon
Comin' around again
He said I still remember
Her sweet perfume
When it filled his head
And it rocked the room
The walked the wire of passion
So alive
It's hard to hold on
In these times
Did one of us change
Was it yours or mine
You just can't imagine
How lonely I've been
She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again
Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
Cause we're hot as a gyspy honeymoon
Comin' around again
We chase our hearts like open fires
Give ourselves to old desires
Surrender sweet
And here we go again
She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again
Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
Cause we're hot as a gyspy honeymoon
I couldn't believe it things get better while we're sleeping
Stop! you got to care that would like ours is a world worth keeping
Too late to put your head in the sand
It's really not so hard to understand
And I won't go away
There's no tomorrow if we don't act today
Get busy right away
It won't wait another day
Get busy right away
It won't wait another day
Provocation is a danger
Procrastination is a killer
Stop! Drop the gun you're the hunter
Then you'll be the hunted one
Too late to say that you're away
Too late to look away love is everywhere
Can't hide it won't go away
There's no tomorrow if we don't act today
Get busy right away
It can't wait another day
Get busy right away
It won't wait another day
Take a listen at your voice coming through the wall
Send a message across the sea
Start with you start with me
Too late to put your head in the sand
It's really not so hard to understand
And I won't go away
There's no tomorrow if we don't act today
Get busy right away
It can't wait another day
Get busy right away
It won't wait another day
Get busy right away
It can't wait another day
Get busy right away
It won't wait another day
I've heard talk goin's round about you
They say you've taken up with somebody new
And they say you're still crazy
But I'm still crazy about you
And do you remember
The heart abused of the heart unused
When it's all said and done
I know what I'd choose
So why did you run to her
Is she just an excuse
To help you remember
Make you forget
Does it just bring a tear to your eye
With the pain and the pleasure
Do you ever regret
When you see how love passed you by
Does it make you remember
Does it make you remember
I saw your car from my window last night
You were drivin' real slow
And I hid from your lights
Was it bringing you back
I was hopin' it might
Make you remember
Make you forget
Does it just bring a tear to your eye
With the pain and the pleasure
Do you ever regret
When you see how love passed you by
I've heard talk goin's round about you
They say you've taken up with somebody new
And they say you're still crazy
But I'm still crazy about you
Does it make you remember
Make you forget
Does it just bring a tear to your eye
With the pain and the pleasure
Do you ever regret
When you see how love passed you by
Does it make you remember
Does it make you remember
Someone is waiting
Waiting for you
Sometimes I really think
I'm going crazy in the night
When I hide down in the covers
And I won't turn out the light
I think nothing's gonna get me
But then again it might
What can I do to keep from going
Crazy in the night
I need a drink of water
But I swallow hard instead
Cause it's hard to move a muscle
When you're frozen in your bed
If I could make it to the phone
Before I die of fright
What can I do to keep from going
Crazy in the night
Sometimes she really thinks
She's going crazy in the night
When she hides down in the covers
And she won't turn on the light
She says nothing's gonna get to her
But then again it might
What can she do to keep from going
Crazy in the night
There's a monster on my ceiling
There's a monster on the wall
There are thousands in the closet
Now they're coming down the hall
I'm so hidden they can't find me
But then again they might
What can I do to keep from going
Crazy in the night
Sometimes she really thinks
She's going crazy in the night
When she hides down in the covers
And she won't turn out the light
She says nothing's gonna get to her
But then again it might
What can she do to keep from going
Crazy in the night
And if I disappeared
Do you think they'd ever look
Would I be headlines in the paper
Or the cover of the book
Got to pull myself together
I don't want to die of fright
What can I do to keep from going
Crazy in the night
Sometimes she really thinks
She's going crazy in the night
When she hides down in the covers
And she won't turn on the light
She says nothing's gonna get to her
But then again it might
What can she do to keep from going
Oh no, I read what you wrote, feels like chains to me
You keep me tied up, with your talk about love
That never sets us free, when I read what you say
I hear desperation in every cliche, you tell me to break
Chain
I read your letter and it feels like chains
(Chain letter)
I read your letter and it's chaining me to you
I read your letter
(Chain)
And it feels like chains
(Chain letter)
I read your letter and it's chaining me to you
Goodbye you said "Goodbye"
You hurt me so bad
(You hurt me hurt me so much more than you could)
Then you come back
And I hear your steps in the hall and a letter under the door
When I read what you say
(You say "We've made a terrible mistake")
We've made a terrible mistake, and it's more than I can take
(Chain)
I read your letter, and it feels like chains
(Chain letter)
I read your letter, and it's chaining me to you
I read your letter
(Chain, chain)
And it feels like chains
(Chain letter)
I read your letter, and it's chaining me
By now all the sweet things, you're begging to say
Are just marks on a page
I hear calculation, I hear desperation
And I hear you tell me to break
I read your letter
(Chain)
And it feels like chains
(Chain letter)
I read your letter, and it's chaining me to you
I read your letter
(It's a Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain letter)
And it feels like chains
I read your letter and it's chaining me to you
I read your letter
(Chain)
And it feels like chains
(Chain letter)
I read your letter and it's chaining me to you
I read your letter and it feels like chains
(Chain letter)
I read your letter and it's chaining me to you
I read your letter
And it feels like chains
(Chain letter)
I read your letter
And it's chaining me to you
(I hear desperation)
I read your letter
And it feels like chains
Now hold on honey where did you come from
I never been so made about anyone
Smile lights up like a radio dial
You got no fashion but you sure got style
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight

Let's stay out late
I won't tell let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late
I won't tell 1et's break the rules tonight
I wanna hover you honey in a one way trap
Get you cornered in a cul-de-sac
My resistance just left the room
It's cold outside and there's a big ol' moon
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late
I won't tell let's break the rules tonight
I won't tell 1et's break the rules tonight

When ya need somebody and you feel so bad
'Cause he's so good and he's so damn bad
Let's stay out late I won't tell

Let's stay out late
I won't tell let's break the rules tonight
Let's stay out late
Take heart the pages turning fast
I'll be waiting here in the hourglass
There's a fire in the heartland
There is a dream on every door
When the past is a brass band
Then you know what you're shooting for
Brass & batons they fade away
They're only moments in the haze
Brass & batons like magic wands
You wave them once and they're gone
And the river keeps changin'
Johnny works harder every day
Got an eye on the good life
Fortune's just a day away
Sundial with a great hand
Sweeping dust across the floor
Puts the strain on a sane man
Til he knows what he's looking for
Brass & batons they fade away
They're only moments in the haze
Brass & batons like magic wands
You wave them once and they're gone
New moon in the evening
Playing tricks on my mind
I swear I felt you heavy breathing
On my neck a thousand times
So let's play it like we used to
Play it sweet and then
I'll meet you in the spotlight
When it comes 'round again
Brass & batons they fade away
They're only moments in the haze
Brass & batons like magic wands
You wave them once and they're gone
Lightning strikes more than twice
Thru the clouds to break the ice
And show us something better
We all chose to compromise
We kill out skills we robotize
Acid waste draws kids and flies
And diamonds turn to granite
Number one
Money buys anything anytime
Number one
The absurd the sublime
Look at all the things we take for granted
Blood from the bandit
Look at all the things we take for granted
Blood from the bandit
Number one
You had your life
And I had mine
And together we could
Do it all
We were the greatest black and white
We were every curtain call
You'd walk through that door
With that grin of yours
You were always running late
We'd orde a beer and we'd cheer
What seemed to be our fate
Always and forever
Did we just burn too bright
And I guess things just look better
In black and white
Somebody said
The sweetest thing
Is when love is blind
I couldn't ever see a thing
Without you there all the time
Will you drive me home
Cause it's getting late
And pretend that we still care
And show me the passion
Just one more night
To make me want you when you're not here
Always and forever
Did we just burn too bright
And I guess things just
Look better in black and white
Always and forever
Did we just burn too bright
And I guess things just
Her hair is Harlow gold, her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold, she's got Better Davis eyes
She'll turn the music on you, you won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow, she got Bette Davis eyes
And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll let you take her home, it works her appetite
She'll lay you on the throne, she got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you, roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue, she's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you, when she snows you
Hope you're pleased with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes
And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)
When does a lover ever learn to say goodbye
When does a lover finally stop giving it one more try
If holding you for a night or two
Is all I'm ever gonna see of you
You'd better love me up and on the way back down
Give me somthing I need
Something I ain't found
Just like a bad seed in the wind
You keep blowing back again
When everybody's turned you out I'll take you in
You're a bad seed in the wind
And you've just got to have a friend
Come on and take my love and you can break my heart again
Darlin' come on and take my love and you can break my heart again
I see the memories in your eyes do they keep you company
And I hear your temporary sighs callin' out to me
Givin' in is all I do
I give you more and you take it too
If that's the way that it's got to be
Come and take what you need
And take it good from me
Just like a bad seed in the wind
You keep blowing back again
When everybody's turned you out I'll take you in
You're a bad seed in the wind
And you've just got to have a friend
Come on and take my love and you can break my heart again
Darlin' come on and take my love and you can break my heart again
Damn that ol' dream that you keep chasin'
So many things that I could have done
But I keep waiting waiting
Just like a bad seed in the wind
You keep blowing back again
When everybody's turned you out I'll take you in
You're a bad seed in the wind
And you've just got to have a friend
Come on and take my love and you can break my heart again
Let your love come easy
Let it fall with the summer rain
Let your love come easy
And watch it come down again and again
I'll keep the porch light burning brightly
Help you find your way
'Cause you've been know to get sidetracked baby
Take a one-way street that leads straight to me
Let your love come easy
Let it fall with the summer rain
Let your love come easy
And love will come down again and again
I knew a man in Egypt
Had exactly two hundred wives
And early every night
He'd turn out the lights
And everyone was satisfied
He let his love come easy
Let it fall with the summer rain
Let your love come easy
(Kim Carnes)
I'd like to live out all my dreams
And if I could, yes if I could
The nicest one would be with you
And you'd be here with me
Don't you ever get lonely?
Lord I'm no good when your away
But what do you expect
From a girl who loves you like I love you
Won't you ever just get tired and come on home to me
Don't you ever get lonely?
You're a part of me
That I can't do without
You're a part of me
That dreams are all about
But you can't hold onto something that you never had before
Love waits for the wind to bring you back again
And take me away
Friend say its great now you're a star
But what do they expect from a girl
Who loved you just the way you were
And late at night I wish things had never changed
And you were here with me
Don't you ever get lonely?
You're a part of me
That I can't do without
You're a part of me
That dreams are all about
But you can't hold onto something that you never had before
Love waits for the wind to bring you back again
And take me away
(KIm Carnes/Val Garay/Craig Hull)
There's an edge in the air
And I feel the chill
It's so hard to fake it
When you don't feel the thrill
Tell me I'm crazy
Tell me I'm wrong
You say you love me
But I know you don't
You say you love me
But I know you don't
There's an uncertain change
When you walk in the door
It's hard to explain
But it's hard to ignore
Tell me I'm crazy
Tell me I'm wrong
You say you love me
But I know you don't
You say you love me
But I know you don't
But I know you don't
Pain in the pleasure
Cuts to the bone
Next time you call
I won't be home
Tell me I'm crazy
Tell me I'm wrong
You say you love me
But I know you don't
You say you love me
But I know you don't
(Gary O'Commer)
Jenny loves John
But he doesn't care
Now that he loves another
I know that he's been getting his share
Sometimes want to tell her
But I wouldn't dare
And tonight when she calls
She won't know that I'm there
Remember the nights
The thing that we said
And when we climbed in the back
Love was driving me out of my head
And I want to tell you
May lightning strike me dead
If he wasn't the best love I ever had
It was young love running wild
It was young love, only young love
Like a child, it was young love
Young love, only young love
Running wild and running free
Waiting for the night
It falls in the street
She's just a young girl learning
Moving in, shaking at the knees
Now don't say forever, just say what you need
Love was never a stranger
When he called on me
It was young love running wild
It was young love, only young love
Like a child, it was young love
Young love, only young love
Running wild and running free
Jenny loves John
But he doesn't care
Now that he loves another I know he's been getting his share
Sometimes want to tell her
But I wouldn't dare
And tonight when she calls
She won't know that I'm there
It was young love running wild
It was young love, only young love
Like a child, it was young love
Young love, only young love
(Kim Carnes)
Today I saw somebody who looked just like you
He walked like you do I thought he was you
And as he turned the corner I called out your name
I felt so ashamed cause it wasn't you wasn't you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
How can I forget when each face that I see
Brings backs memories of being with you
I just can't go on living life as I do
Comparing each one with you
Because they just won't do
They're not you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
You are everything and everything is you
(Johnny Otis)
I know a cat named way out Willie
He's got a cool little chick named Rockin' Millie
He can walk and stroll and Suzy Q
And do that crazy hand jive too
Papa told Willie you'll ruin my home
You and that hand jive has got to go
Willie said Papa don't put me down
They're doing that hand jive all over town
Hand jive
Hand jive
Hand jive
Doin' that crazy hand jive
Mama Mama look at Uncle Joe
He's doing that hand jive with sister Flo
Grandma gave baby sister a dime
Said do that hand jive one more time
Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief
Now they all dig that crazy beat
When he did that hand jive with his feet
Hand jive
Hand jive
Hand jive
Doin' that crazy hand jive
Now Willie and Millie got married last fall
They had a little Willie Jr and that ain't all
Well the baby got famous and it's clear to see
They're doing that hand jive on TV
Hand jive
Hand jive
Hand jive
Doin' that crazy hand jive
Hand jive
Hand jive
Hand jive
Doin' that crazy hand jive
When you run into yourself around a corner of time
Having done and said this all before
And you start remembering somebody you once loved
The words you never said have passed you by
My memories run deep as deep as your eyes
And they burn with love that still won't die
Yet I misused you darling
But how was I to know
Were the things I never said not worth the try
And when will I ever see you again
So I keep running, running
Am I running scared or am I running after you
And ain't it funny how you go and hurt somebody
When it's the last thing you ever wanted to do
Sometimes when I'm sleepin'
I feel you close to me
And I wake up and know you're passin' through
Thinkin' that I'm crazy
Or that it's just the moon making shadows
Lord they look so much like you
And I wonder if I'll ever see you again
So I keep running running
Am I running scared or am I running after you
And ain't it funny how you go and hurt somebody
(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)
What good is love when there is no music
What good is love when there ain't no songs to sing
What good is love if it's one sided and you just can't buy it
If you don't have a good place to hang your hat
What good is that? What good is love?
What good is love is there's no illusion
Just like a trick in a magic show
What good is love if it's confusin' and you're always losin'
Everybody needs a good place to hang his hat
What good is that? What good is love?
Just yesterday I was out on a tropical island
The moon was full and the mood was right
But it don't get warmer it just kept on getting later and later
Waitin' for you wastin' my time
Sittin' on the equator...baby who whoo
What good is love if there's no reflection
Even the moon needs some help from the sun to shine
What good is love if it's deceivin' and there's no beleivin'
Everybody needs a good place to hang his hat
What good is that? What good is love?
I'm waiting for the pain to go away
I though maybe that this would be the day
At noon I tried a little smile
Then I sat down and cried a while
Just waiting for the pain to go away
If I could only get you off my mind
But these old memories treat me so unkind
The way you laughed your gentle smile
Still makes me love you oh so much
I know that I can't get you off of my mind
I see happy lovers everywhere I go
Sharing dreams in a world for two
He holds her hand and she holds his
They never know how good love is
We lost the only chance for me and you
So I'm waiting for the pain to go away
But I'm afraid the blues are here to stay
Not many loves like ours around
So easily lost so rarely found
Just waiting for the pain to go away
(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)
What am I gonna do till you come home
What am I gonna do now that you're gone
What am I gonna do without you
What am I gonna do without a man
What am I gonna do
You do the best you can
What am I gonna do without you
What am I gonna do with all my time
I'll just drown my dreams in sweet wine
What am I gonna do without you
Now what are you gonna do without me
Who's gonna give you all the things you need
What are you gonna do without me
What are you gonna do it you come home
And the woman you thought was waitin' for you is gone
What are you gonna do it you come home
Now what am I gonna do till you come home
What am I gonna do now that you're gone
What am I gonna do without you
(Bill Cuomo/Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)
The neon sign lights up the room
She lifts the shade to feel the night
The universal song is playing again
And out across the boulevard
The cafe racers find their mark
Closes the door
She going looking for romance
You find it on the radio
You feel it in the air
The universal song is everywhere
You feel it in a heartbeat
And everyone's the same
The universal song is playing again
She sees his face across the street
He turns his head and looks her way
The universal song is playng again
He lifts her up and whirls her round
It's in the touch
It's in the sound
The universal song is starting to play
You find it on the radio
You feel it in the air
The universal song is everywhere
You feel it in a heartbeat
And everyone's the same
The universal song is playing again
The neon sign lights up the room
She lifts the shade to feel the night
The universal song is playing again
And out across the boulevard
The cafe racers find their mark
Closes the door
She going looking for romance
Sometimes it hurts so much that I wonder
What kind of spell I am under
That makes me feel this way
I know the ways of love aren't easy
You try your best to please me
But I still have to say
You drain my emotion
But I will not let it show
Cause you just want to wind me up
But you cannot stand to watch me go
Why do your reactions always seem so slow
For tonight tonight it could be touch and go
It seems that mothers words still linger
Beware the moving finger
And keep yourself quite pure
In time a man will come and he'll bring
A promise and a ring
But till that day be sure
And hide your emotion
And never let it show
Cause you just want to wind me up
But you cannot stand to watch me go
Why do your reactions always seem so slow
For tonight tonight it could be touch and go
There’s a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you
There’s a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain’t got you, ain’t got ?
You don’t know what it’s like, baby
You don’t know what it’s like
To love somebody
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain’t got to be so blind
And I’m blind, so very blind
I’m a man, can’t you see
What I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
When you want me
When you hold me
You make me weak and I can't fight it
I should face it I have skated
Way too far out on thin ice
You break me...
You shatter my resistance you don't even see
What you do to me ah
That's where the trouble lies
That's where the trouble lies
That's where the trouble lies
That's where the trouble lies
The best of plans slip through my hands
You toss them off so easily
Old desires never fail to make
Us all act so carelessly
So take me..
Treat me like the one thing you'd never leave
Oh please..
The user never knows how much the drug shows
That's where the trouble lies
That's where the trouble lies
That's where the trouble lies
That's where the trouble lies
Hot then cold then maybe
Don't that drive you baby
Over the speed limit with me
Straight out a' Texas
Down around San Antoine
Comin' straight out of heaven
Sweeter than you've ever known
Don't let me hear that sweet kid's name
Get your hands on me and I'll drive you insane
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Now you've been seen in the back of a limousine
I may not ouwn it but it's bigger than you've ever seen
Now don't talk to me about the girls that you knew
Cause they can't do what this girl can do
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Your legs start shakin' every time you call my name
You're no heart breaker but you know you'll never be the same
Now don't talk to me about the girls that you knew
Cause they can't do what this girl can do
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
I can't say goodbye to the sights of San Antoine
Headin' to Hollywood High
And there I'm gonna make my home
And now I don't give a damn about the things that they've seen
They ain't seen nothin' like a Texas queen
Tear me apart if you wanna win my heart
Be my soul mate
Help me when I stumble
When I fall I need a helping hand
I'm not ashamed to tell the world I love you
Cause you're the beacon of the storm in which I am
So take me home to where my heart is
Lift me up and lay me down and be my friend
Let's ride the wind across the mighty ocean
All the way around the world and back again
When I'm gone
Don't cry because you're lonesome
Shine you light upon the faces that you see
And remember there's a soul that loves you
And that soul my darling boy is me
So take me home to where my heart is
Lift me up and lay me down and be my friend
Let's ride the wind across the mighty ocean
All the way around the world and back again
Let's ride the wind across the mighty ocean
Always running for some jet
Rumours keep you hard to get
How far will they let you go
Once they know who's in control
Don't like closing the factory
Don't like to break up the family
You can't say you're easy to please
You can take on plenty of heat
It all gets down to living the life
Going for a piece of the sky
Going for a piece of the sky
Making headlines you don't choose
Cruising through the morning news
It's all right there in white and black
But heroes die behind you back
Can't stay put not you can't be tamed
How could the fence up the open plains
You can't say you're easy to please
You can take on plenty of heat
It all gets down to living the life
Going for a piece of the sky
Going for a piece of the sky
Hold me don't let me go
Stroll me baby coast to coast
Shelter by the desert night
(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson/Wendy Waldman)
If I told you tonight that I loved you
Would you walk my way would you say
Lies that I wanted to hear
If I told you tonight that I need you
Would you break my heart would you start
Wearing me down again
I feel so lonely when I'm with I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you
I can't live without you
I still hold on
If I told you tonight I was leaving
Would you call my name take the blame
Turn it all around again
'Cause you know I love you
And worth the heartbreak we make
But I still hold on I still hold on
I feel so lonely when I'm with I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you
I can't live without you
Sailin'
Ridin' on the crest of a dream
All we need is a breeze
Some help fromt the wind
Sailin'
Out of my dreams
And into the night
We may never come back again
When we go sailin'
I've been all over the ocean
I've traveled through a million years
Every face I see
Brings it home to me
That I all ever loved is here
Now won't you take me sailin'
Ridin' on the crest of a dream
All we need is a breeze
Some help fromt the wind
You've got to take me sailin'
Right out of my dreams
And into the night
We may never come back again
When we go sailin'
If they drew a line
Through space and time
That defied my breaking through
It could not control me
No nothin' could hold me
As long as there was you
Now won't you take me sailin'
Ridin' on the crest of a dream
All we need is a breeze
Some help fromt the wind
You've got to take me sailin'
Right out of my dreams
And into the night
We may never come back again
When we go sailin'
We may never come back again
We always said we'd hire a plane
That only flies at night
And we'd stay up forever
Just watching the lights
From deck chairs on a steamer
That only sails in summer
We'd chase the sun around the moon
No captain at the rudder
We'd go to Paris
The perfect time of year
We'd go all around the world
We'd go everywhere
But first we'd go to Paris
Cuz I've always wanted to
And I just can't imagine
Walking Paris without you
A train that's on a one-way track
Winding through the Alps
Christmas in a parlor car
With no one else
Hire a car that only knows
A country road in England
Time will fly
We'll drive on by
Broken dreams a broken heart
And plans that never made it
All turn into fantasies
Each night I go to Paris
And hope that you'll be there
I go all around the world
I go everywhere
But first I go to Paris
Cuz I always wanted to
And I just can't imagine
So much I had to tell you
I've saved it for a while
But this thing's going nowhere
I can see it in your eyes
Even now the worst fool
Says that I'm a fool
Don't think just because
I came here tonight
I still need you need you
Can you hear my voice
Coming to you on the radio
Do you here me
Do you know it's all for you
Are you listening now
Am I coming through
Do you think about me
I just want to know
It doesn't really mean anything
It's part of letting go
Fighting with the feeling
Stirring up the fire
Don't think just because
I came here tonight
I still need you need you
Can you hear my voice
Coming to you on the radio
Do you here me
Do you know it's all for you
Are you listening now
Sit right here beside me
And sing me through the night
And if you sing right through to the morning I won't mind
As long as the song you sing is coming from your heart
Nothing makes me feel as good as a love song
As a love song as a love song as good as a love song
You can bring me gifts
And swear they're from the moon
Thinking you can win me with the things that shine the most
Oh Lord you make me close my eyes
And listen with my heart
Nothing makes me feel as good as a love song
As a love song as a love song as good as a love song
We all grab for moments
That feel good along the way
Spending time to find a rhyme
That makes a memory
If an old lover never dies
And if words don't age with time
And if it comes easy write me a love song
And I'll keep it forever cuz it's coming from your heart
Nothing makes me feel as good as a love song
(Paul Wilson/BP Hurding)
Met you at the wrong time of my life
I thought you were somebody I used to know
You took me by surprise, don't you see it show
But I guess it's not true, he left a long time ago
And thinking it over, you don't look the same
I met you at the wrong time of my life
Met you at the wrong time of my life
I've never felt the cold like this before
Our love is growing old but it leaves me wanting more
And more
If you don't believe me just look in my eyes
You'll see a lonely girl for sure
But thinking it over I don't look the same, same
I met you at the wrong time of my life
Met you at the wrong time of my life
But don't tell me it's over when it's only just begun
The days go by we get older so don't keep me waiting
Don't keep me hanging on
I met you at the wrong time of my life
A familiar story
A sad affair of the heart
We spend all this time
Trying to find
The glow in the dark
Gentle changes
The eyes still look the same
A familiar heartbeat
I go weak
When you walk in
I'm hangin' on by a thread
Too many voices in my ear
Too many memories locked in here
I'm hangin' on by a thread
Too many voices in my ear
We hurt each other
And wonder why
We lie broken in two
I was dreamin'
You were here with me
And through a open window
We could look through
Straight to the sea
I'm hangin' on by a thread
Too many voices in my ear
Too many memories locked in here
I'm hangin' on by a thread
Too many voices in my ear
We hurt each other
And wonder why
We lie broken in two
And if I lose you now
I've seen you dancing with her
And there wasn't any music playing
I couldn't here the words you were saying
Oh no do you love her
I've seen you buying her things
I stood silently afraid you might see me
Thinking how that girl used to be me
Oh no do you love her
Does she remind you of the things I am
Or of the things I'm not
Do I still have a change to try and change
You're all I've got
Sometimes the light that burns the brightest
Burns itself right out with time
While yours is dimming mine pain is beginning
Don't leave me standing alone
While I watch you walk away with your new love
How can my life go on without you love
More love (more love)
More power (more power)
More of you in my life
More love (more love)
More power (more power)
More of you in my life
And I will worship you with all of my heart
I will worship you with all of my mind
I will worship you with all of my strength
Look at me now
I'm the lucky one
Runnin' everywhere
Envy of someone
Thought I'd call you tonight
Just for the fun
Only takes a dime
Lord knows I've got the time
I miss you tonight
Oh babe
I miss you tonight
Oh babe
Someone said
You got a new romance
And when you hold her
Do you think ever of me
Do you hold her close
Like you held me
When we danced
Do you think of me
Do your ever think of me
I miss you tonightTonight
Oh babe
I miss you tonight
What good is love
If it only breaks you heart
And all of the things
I wanted to say
Get lost now that you're gone
I just called to hear your voice
To see if you've changed you mind
I just have to say
That I miss you babe
I miss you tonight
Oh babe
I'm breaking in pieces and my soul is caving in
There's a whole in the sky and we can't fill it in
There's a place in our hearts full of love for all men
Just have to find it again
Look through children's eyes try to tell them why
There's oil across the water and holes across the sky
Look through children's eyes, hear the ocean cry
Hear the forest fall in ashes from the sky
Honey you've not known enough to think it all
But here in your lifetime this is off the wall
We can save tomorrow for the children left behind
Let us all save the earth together
Look through children's eyes try to tell them why
There's oil across the water and holes across the sky
Look through children's eyes, hear the ocean cry
Hear the forest fall in ashes from the sky
Look through children's eyes
We glorify greed without counting the cost
One's man's happy ending is everyman's loss
How long since we noticed how long has it been
And the innocent child is crying again
Look through children's eyes try to tell them why
There's oil across the water and holes across the sky
Look through children's eyes, hear the ocean cry
Hear the forest fall in ashes from the sky
If we look through chilren's eyes
Look through children's eyes
We can save the earth together
A pretty face reflected in a mirror
So perfect in every way
With every move
The picture's getting clearer
She's got it all
She's got it made
But when she smiles
Is she really smilin'
She's the only one who really knows
Emerald eyes so cool
And so inviting--hide the side
She never shows
She's a looker
That's what they say
She's got it all
She's got it made
She's a looker
With a beautiful face
Always on display
The magazines always show her smilin'
So perfect in every way
But in the night
I hear a young girl cryin'
She's got it all
She's got it made
She's a looker
That's what they say
She's got it all
She's got it made
She's a looker
With a beautiful face
Always on display
See the face reflected in a mirror
With every move the picture's getting clearer
She walks into a room
People stop and stare
But she just looks away
As if she didn't care
She's a looker
That's what they say
She's got it all
She's got it made
She's a looker
With a beautiful face
What good is love if you're not wearing it baby
When you're dying of thirst and drowing in maybe's
When nobody else can touch that part of you
Me I stood out here in the open
And offered the one thing that nobody else had broken
As if I didn't know what you might do
I might lose
I have broken every rule the hard way for you
And I would do it all again
Just to spend the night with you
You took my love like a one armed bandit
Got reason to cry
Got more than I can stand and
I'm going down for the third time over you
It hurts the most when the knife keeps coming
I was standin' still when I should have been running
As if you didn't know what I might do
I might choose
I have broken every rule the hard way for you
And I would do it all again
Just to spend the night with you
I would follow every road with nothing else in view
Just like the frozen willow bends I have
Just to spend the night with you
Do you love to watch me break
Do you just love to watch me ache
On the chances that I take
Do you love to watch me break in two
(Kim Carnes)
When it hurts so bad
You got to let go
Can't let him know that he's really gotten to ya
And it hurts so bad
When you're all alone
Those ol' memories
Keep goin' through ya
And you wanna act nonchalant
But you can't
Cause he keeps on haunting you
And when it hurts so bad
You gotta try and pretend
He's just a casual friend
Who never meant a thing to ya
Well you can fool your friends
And you can laugh a lot
It's all a coverup
Of what he really means to ya
And you try and act nonchalant
But you can't
Cause he keeps on haunting you
And it hurts so bad
How can it hurt this bad
When it was never planned
But you stole my heart
And here I am
I'm possessed by you
I'm obsessed with you
Guess what I tryin' to say
Is I love you
Now how can I act nonchalant
(Kim Carnes/Dave Krampf/Duane Hitchings)
It's the song that just keeps playing on the radio
And you know I haven't seen you for a while
I lie awake at night
And I wonder how you are
And I wish that I could be you again
Is it luck or is it fate
That brings us back
Or is it just a common point of view
Time has put a spell on you
You never seem to change
And I wish that I could see you again
But I'll be here where the heart
When the dreams that we've been after
All come true
You will find me here where the heart is
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
It's the light that keeps shining day after day
When other loves have come and gone
I'll be here with open arms to take you in
And I wish that I could see you again
And in between
And when I need to see you again
All I have to do
Is close my eyes
Oh the picture's coming in my friend
I'll hold you again
But who knows when
But I'll be here where the heart
When the dreams that we've been after
All come true
You will find me here where the heart is
I'll wait for you
Hit and run
Who is the love killer
Who ruined the music we thought was so special
Like fire between us spent over and over
Who emptied my bed and left me with nothing
Hit and Run
It came so sudden
From the mouth of the kiss that whispered "forever"
From the body of the soul that made my eyes listen
I'm hearing goodbye
But I don't want to listen
Love will tear and do you on
Turn you inside out and when
All you got is less than dim
You know you're grabbin' at straws
And you'd do it again
Hit and run
Who is the love killer
Who ruined the music we thought was so special
Like fire between us spent over and over
She thinks about him constantly
Picks up a paper and pen writes him every day
And every day puts the letter away
'Cause he'll come home
When he's tired of running around
He'll come home
She can feel it in her bones
He'll come home
When one too many lovers leaves him all alone
He'll come home
She lives her life through a photograph
And paints her face to hide the way she feels
She keeps the time away
'Cause she's afraid to count the years the he's been gone
Gone
But don't feel bad 'cause she'll be all right
She sips her wine and gets tipsy in the moonlight
The she leaves the door wide open
Just one more night
Till he comes home
And he's tired of running around
He'll come home
I can feel it in my bones
He'll come home
When one too many lovers
Leaves him all alone
He'll come home
He goes to the mountain top everyday
She goes there to hear him play
He plays good he makes sweet
He just makes me crazy
Oh he makes the sun rise
Oh he makes the sun rise
Oh he makes the sun rise
He make he make the sun rise
Only he can make her dance
When he holds her in his hands
He make love he makes so sweet
He just makes her crazy
Oh he makes the sun rise
Oh he makes the sun rise
Oh he makes the sun rise
He make he make the sun rise
He make he make the sun rise
Life is just illusioning
Dance the part and catch the ring
She knew him in a time before
A thousand years from here and now
Golden boy with your guitar
I have loved you from afar
You play good you play so sweet
You just make me crazy
Oh he makes the sun rise
Oh he makes the sun rise
Oh he makes the sun rise
He make he make the sun rise
Good old days are ridin' on my mind
Flowing freely like a good time
Good old days and it's nice to have a friend
So we'll just sit and rock awhile
Me and my baby love to smile
We got it good we got it made
And we love these good old days
Good old days wring 'em out and let 'em dry
Paste 'em in a picture book when we got the time
Big Ben roll ahead and leave us here behind
And we'll just sit and rock awhile
Me and my baby love to smile
We got it good we got it made
And we love these good old days
Like summer leaves the grapes on the vine
Each day leaves the last behind
And when we find that now is then
We'll play the record once again
Good old days thank you for the ride
Cuz the laughin's free and we're slidin' all the way
I said Big Ben roll ahead and leave us here behind
And we'll just sit and rock awhile
Me and my baby love to smile
We got it good we got it made
And we love these good old days
Like summer leaves the grapes on the vine
Each day leaves the last behind
And when we find that now is then
Honey let's take a photograph
One of just me an you
Cause no one ever makes me smile
The way that you do
We could make it into an 8x10
And hang it up on my wall
And it you wanted to sign it with all my love
Honey I won't mind at all
Straight into the fire
The fantastic fire of love
I can feel the flame getting higher
Oh sweet fantastic fire of love
Now honey let's buy and rocket
And ride it to the moon
Wouldn't take much
We'd just live on love
Life in a silver spoon
We could buy a yacht that don't cost a lot
Sail it to the end of the sea
Wouldn't need a crew
Cause I'd have you
Holding on tight to me
Straight into the fire
The fantastic fire of love
I can feel the flame getting higher
Oh sweet fantastic fire of love
You just really crept up on me
I never saw you coming
Well I tried to yell I tried to scream
But just stop short of running
We can call it lust you can call it luck
Call it anything you like
Its fiery hot and honey I've been caught
And I just want you tonight
Straight into the fire
The fantastic fire of love
I can feel the flame getting higher
Oh sweet fantastic fire of love
Straight into the fire
The fantastic fire of love
I can feel the flame getting higher
(Kim Carnes/Bill Cuomo)
I have got this friend
She's looking all over town
And she just can't imagine why
She can't find anyone
And when she finds a good boy
She pulls the rope too tight
And then she sends them all out
Screaming in the night
854-7256
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't let 'em know
That you're home alone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't let 'em know
That you're all alone
I have got this friend
She travels 'round the sun
She's just looking for the magic
She's just trying to sind someone
And when she finds a good boy
She pulls the rope too tight
And then she sends them all out
Screaming in the night
854-7256
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't let 'em know
That you're home alone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't let 'em know
That you're all alone
I have got this friend
She's looking all over town
And she just can't imagine why
She can't find anyone
854-7256
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't let 'em know
That you're home alone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't pick up the phone
Pick up the phone
Don't let 'em know
That you're all alone
Don't pick it up just because you're all alone
Nobody believes that I really care for you
They don't think your heart is true
I don't think you agree
You know I'm a lifetime guarantee
So if they ask you what you mean to me
Don't call it love heaven above
Now we got a better thing
Don't call it love
That ain't enough
Tell 'em you're my everything
Nobody beleives
We got something they ain't got
They never seen a fire this hot
They never got that far
We're burning as bright as any star
So if they ask you what your feelin's are
Don't call it love heaven above
Now we got a better thing
Don't call it love
That ain't enough
Tell 'em you're my everything
Feels so good feels so good and tight
Holding close
Through the night
They can call it what the like
They ain't got it right
Don't call it love heaven above
Now we got a better thing
Don't call it love
That ain't enough
Sleight of hand
hands of fate
Chance you take - life's a snake.
And it's all in the draw of the cards.
Lightning strikes breath of life
black or white
watch em fall.
And it's all in the draw of the cards
And it's all in the draw of the cards.
Drop the cards - watch the eyes down n' dirty -
Let 'em ride. - Boulevard - small cafe - Cavaliers pass the day.
The Joker laughs from the street
he weaves his web bittersweet
Ace is high
deuce is low
take the first - the rest should go.
And it's all in the draw of the cards
There's a place where we can go
It's just a little hard to find
Let it haunt you when you sleep
And shine shine shine
Find that door and step inside
The light will lead you in
Watch your step and watch you heart
Cause you'll be back again
And they're dancin' at the lighthouse
Cause the ships are sailing in
They'll be dancin' at the lighthouse
Until they sail back again
Sing you song soft and low
Raise it to the sky
You are in the twilight zone
So fly fly fly
And they're dancin' at the lighthouse
Cause the ships are sailing in
They'll be dancin' at the lighthouse
Until they sail back again
The wave of live
Is flowing constantly
THe union of the soul
To set the spirit free
And they're dancin' at the lighthouse
Cause the ships are sailing in
They'll be dancin' at the lighthouse
Crimes of the heart
We're all guilty
Crimes of the heart
We're all willing
To take part
In another crime of the heart
Crimes of the heart
We're all careless
Right from the start
We stand fearless
The one day here we are
In another crime of the heart
How deep is you wish
How high is your dream
Do you ever know who you are
It's all in the memory
It's all in the moment
Oh caught in the crime from the start
Crimes of the heart
We're all children
Crimes of the heart
We're only human
Knowing inside we are
Blinded by crimes of the heart
How deep is you wish
How high is your dream
Do you ever know who you are
It's all in the memory
It's all in the moment
Oh caught in the crime from the start
Crimes of the heart
We're all willing
(D Penn/S Oldham)
When I think about the good love you gave me
I cry like a baby
Livin' without you is drivin' me crazy
I cry like a baby
Well I know now that you're not a plaything
Not a toy or a puppet on a string
As I look back on a love so sweet
I cry like a baby
Every road is a loney street
I cry like a baby
Today we passed on the street
And you just walked on by
My heart just fell to my feet
And like a fool
I began to cry
When I think about the good love you gave me
I cry like a baby
Livin' without you is drivin' me crazy
Nearly every nite I stay awake
And I don't understand it myself
Livin' on the edge--it's almost real
You can't depend on me
I'm breakin' away from sanity
Showin' the ghost inside of me
I'm running away
From you and me
Breakin' away from sanity
Breakin' away from sanity
I talk to myself when you're not there
Oh if you could read my mind
I'm chained to nothin'
But it's all chained to me
You can't depend on me
I'm breakin' away from sanity
Showin' the ghost inside of me
I'm running away
From you and me
Breakin' away from sanity
Breakin' away from sanity
Nearly every night I stay away
Imagining the rainbow
Trying to fit it in the sense of things
That might have been
Looking for the green flash
Hitting milliseconds just before the sun goes in
Bon Voyage
When you find the one
Don't let her go
Like you're letting me go
Bon Voyage
After all this time you'd think
We'd know
Why are you letting me go
A magic in the moonlight
In a bar beside the ocean
Where we used to meet
Caught up in our cicumstance
We spin out wheels just
Waiting for the string to break
I see your face in windows on the Seine
I'm still sitting in a cafe where
You said you'd wait
Like some romantic moment on the screen
You'd come running through that door
And then you're gone again
Bon Voyage
When you find the one
Don't let her go
Like you're letting me go
Bon Voyage
After all this time you'd think
We'd know
The kiss is all, words mean nothing
Why don't we throw them away
Take my keys, love is waiting
Idling in the driveway
Today everybody is thinking about happiness
As easy to read as a cloud
But down here on earth I need just that one kiss
As easy to shape as I sound
When you love me - it's a kick in the heart
When you touch me you take me apart & apart & apart
When you kiss me - it's a kick in the heart
Close your eyes, here comes tomorrow
Do you still feel the same
Tell me just one thing I can be sure of
Tell me the rules of this game
Today everybody is thinking about happiness
Easy to reach as a cloud
But down here on earth I need just that one kiss
Easy to shape as a sound
When you love me - it's a kick in the heart
When you touch me you take me apart & apart & apart
When you kiss me - it's a kick in the heart
Take my keys love is waiting
Revved up in the driveway
The kiss is all, words mean nothing
I was drivin' my car tonight
And I was feelin' down
The i thought about you
Like I always do
And I turned myself around
Ooh it was magic
Some kind of a dream
Somebody turned the radio on
It was our favorite spot
In the parking lot
I knew it was crazy
I knew I was gone
On the edge of the night
We had some kind of time
The two of us just holding on
When nothing else mattered
But the fire in our eyes
And singing our favorite song
Along with the radio
Along with the radio
Don't wake me up
Just to break my heart
Cause I could stay here all night
Where memories are so sweet to me
You were the best thing in my life
And in the changin' times
You can lose your mind
But you've still got my heart
And if you're ever alone
I'm as close as your telephone
On the edge of the night
We had some kind of time
The two of us just holding on
When nothing else mattered
But the fire in our eyes
And singing our favorite song
Along with the radio
The king of hearts has won the final inning
He's made his move and played his hand so well
Everyone thinks he's got it made
'Cause no one can tie him down
Everybody says he was a damn fool
For givin' me the run-around
All he did was tell me lies to try to woo me
After all the talk I guess he won the prize
He never meant to stay
How could be do it to me
Everybody says I was a damn fool
To listen to his run-around
Now I was tryin' to act just like a lady
I turned him down
Then he took me by surprise
Now who would have thought that a girl like me
Could be swayed so easily
Everybody says I was a damn fool
'Cause I gave what he took for free
All he did was tell me lies to try to woo me
After all the talk I guess he won the prize
He never meant to stay
How could be do it to me
Everybody says I was a damn fool
To listen to his run-around
The king of hearts can't play his game forever
And the jester's not the fool when the king is old
Later on will he think of me
When his castle walls get cold
Will he care to call
Will he caere at all
All he did was tell me lies to try to woo me
(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson/Duane Hitchings)
Abadabadango can you hear
It's the rhythm of the heart
That beats for a million years
We all have to use some kind of magic
Some of the time
Between the laughter and the tears
A place to draw the line
When they say that you can't
Say that you won't
So don't even give it a try
I know hard as it seems
To take all your dreams
And give 'em just one more time
Abadabadango can you hear
It's the rhythm of the heart
That beats for a million years
Abadabadango getting loud and clear
If you listen close to voice inside
That you wait to hear
It's the time we spend awake at night
A dream that you've had before
Visions pounding in your head
That you just can't ignore
And are we sometimes blinded by
Stars get in our eyes
Break someone's heart
Falling apart
Then start again one more time
Abadabadango can you hear
It's the rhythm of the heart
That beats for a million years
Abadabadango getting loud and clear
If you listen close to voice inside
That you wait to hear
Abadabadango can you hear
It's the rhythm of the heart
That beats for a million years
Abadabadango getting loud and clear
If you listen close to voice inside
(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)
Navy blue sky outside my green room
Apple of my eye
Left way too soon
Got the window open
And I can see the sky
Goodnight room
Goodnight moon
Goodnight moon
You're a good night moon
Goodnight moon
Keep shinin' on me
And everyone you see
Night bloomin' jasmine
Is so sweet to me
I'm as sleepy as I ever have been
But I just can't sleep
Everything's so quiet
Guess I'll just close my eyes
For awhile for awhile
Goodnight moon
You're a good night moon
Goodnight moon
Keep shinin' on me
And everyone you see
Hey goodnight to you out there
Goodnight children everywhere
You're a good night moon
See ya real soon
Goodnight room
When voices through the thin walls speak of aberrant behavior
And the video's her only savior.
She turns it on when they're all gone
And then she turns and slips her high heels on.
Shadows fill the room and she starts movin'.
Voyeur
voyeur
are ya hot tonight?
Dance
dance
dance till it makes you feel good.
Voyeur
voyeur
who you've got tonight?
Well
love is still alive. It's just locked up inside.
Lingerie and loveliness
still lookin' for a strange and sweet caress.
Her love life's hot
but her life's a mess.
She's got no minor vices
and she makes no excuses.
And she concedes that she's the one she pleases.
Voyeur
voyeur
are ya hot tonight? . . .
Voyeur
voyeur
are ya hot tonight?
Voyeur
voyeur

Ain't funny how time
Steals the feelings from a love affair
And there's no place to lay the blame
Cause it ain't a case of no one cares
Helplessly we just watch it fade away
Neither of us will admit it
But we're both aching to say
Weeooh I miss the days when we were
Crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
And I had my little jealousies
Weeooh bring back the days when we were
Crazy in love
I want to feel that way again
Remember when
We were crazy in love
It used to be so easy
One touch and I was high
I could get intoxicated
Just by looking in your eyes
Baby ain't there anything we can do
Cause I know you're missing me
As much as I've been missing you
Weeooh I miss the days when we were
Crazy in love
When you weren't so sure of me
And I had my little jealousies
Weeooh bring back the days when we were
Crazy in love
I want to feel that way again
Remember when
We were crazy in love
We were more than best of friends
(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)
I'm skeptical of banana trees
Cause they sway too much in the tropic breeze
I'm skeptical that the world is round
What keeps it up and what keeps me down
I'm skeptical that the sky is blue
But I'm not skeptical about you
Ohh-ooh babe
True blue you
You babe
True blue you
I'm skeptical of the aeroplane
If it can fly so high why can't a train
I'm skeptical of the lion's roar
Is he looking for lunch or is he just bored
I'm septical that the sky is blue
But I'm not skeptical about you
Ohh-ooh babe
True blue you
You babe
True blue you
I'm skeptical of all that's gold
I'm skeptical of growin' old
I'm skeptical of the moon above
But I'm not skeptical about love
I'm skeptical of one thing more
Than I was skeptical of the day before
Ohh-ooh babe
True blue you
You babe
(Kim Carnes)
Take a smile
And hold it longer
Take a tear
And let it roll down
Take a heart this ol' heart
And make it stronger
Cause we all have to lose in love sometime
Take tonight
And make it brighter
Take my hand
And don't let go
Cause I know you've changed changed your mind
So you better go to her
Cause we all have a right to change our mind sometimes
And we all have to lose in love sometime
And so tonight's another broken heart
In a chain that never ends
Take this broken heart
And help me mend it again
Take a smile
And hold it longer
Take a tear
And let it roll down
Take a heart this ol' heart
And make it stronger
(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)
Blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels to be blinded by love
We're fallin' apart
And we never saw it coming
I guess we ignored every sign
Blinded by love
We both closed our eyes
And as we were drowning
We were both smiling
We're blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
Blinded by how good it feels
To be blinded by love
What becomes of two people
Who don't see things the same way
But don't wanna hurt an old friend
Careful with words that might show our hand
Guess we're blinded by love till the end
Blinded by love
We're slaves to the heart
Blinded by love by the flame in the dark
(Kim Carnes/Eddie Reeves)
Memories are the only things that time can't take away
You read a book, you write a song, the time's been spent
But in your mind the story still remains
The song plays on
Memories can get the best of you
They can turn you inside out just when you least expect'em to
And times when I'm alone, I think of things we've done
And then I laugh right out loud to myself
Sometimes I fool myself
How could you possibly know
How could you possibly see
Yes and how could you possibly know
That the best of you has got the best of me
Good and bad take it all in stride
But I'd be lying if I said I didn't you here beside me
When it took so long to find you
Now I just can't let you go, can't let you go
How could you possibly know
How could you possibly see
Yes and how could you possibly know
(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)
Just look at us aren't we a sing of the times
We can't seem to work it out
I'm over here and you're over there
And what's needed is a turn-a-bout
Now every time
I try and look you straight in the eye
And say hey
Where is your heart
Where does it lie
Tell me where
Where is your heart
And why can't I break through
When all I wanna do is hold on to you
Ooh what's a girl to do
And where is your heart
Who's gonna get the prize this time
Who's gonna win the game
Seems like eveybody's dyin' of a broken heart
And nobody is to blame
Every time
I try and look you straight in the eye
And say hey
Where is your heart
Where does it lie
Tell me where
Where is your heart
And why can't I break through
When all I wanna do is hold on to you
Ooh what's a girl to do
And where is your heart
Independence so you say that you want to be
On our own again
Well take your shot
But if it's not right
To be out there all alone again
Come back to me
So I can look you straight in the eye
And say hey
Where is your heart
Where does it lie
Tell me where
Where is your heart
And why can't I break through
When all I wanna do is hold on to you
Ooh what's a girl to do
(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)
Oh every soul
Needs to have someone
Needs to have someone to hold his hand
And every hand needs to hold on to
The hand of another
The hand of a friend
But it's alright babe
Cause I know how you feel
Deep in the night babe
When you feel the chill
The chill of the night babe
When you turn out the light babe
I'll hold you tight babe
If you will in the night babe
In the chill of the night babe
Are you looking for someone
Someone you can talk to
You know I don't expect you to always be strong
I'll be around long after midnight
We'll sit by the firelight
Talkin' you down
But it's alright babe
Cause I know how you feel
Deep in the night babe
When you feel the chill
The chill of the night babe
When you turn out the light babe
I'll hold you tight babe
If you will in the night babe
In the chill of the night babe
Put a light in the window
And just keep it burning
Cause whenever you need me I come to you
Cause every heart that keeps on beating
Needs to have someone
He can always turn to
In the chill of the night
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
I know who I'll give it too
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love anymore
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
I know I know who will
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love anymore
If that's the way
That the world goes around
Then that's the way
That it all comes down
When you want me
Then I would be around
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
I know who I'll give it too
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
You're the poets finest song
And like a painter you can move me with your sunrise
Touch me with the look I see in your eyes
And I fall again
In the silence after love
With the words that go unsaid I'll understand you
Things may not work out the way we've planned them to
But I'll fall again
Loves been called a game
Winner takes it all
And everyone who plays
Plays knowing he could fall
And if love's a game
I'd rather lose to you
Than win with someone else
And still be loving you
When the love songs have all been sung
And time has taken down its last December
You will be the one love I'll remember and I'll fall again
For like the fool I am
I'll be the pawn again
Move me as you will
I've always given in
And if love's a game
I'd rather lose to you
Than win with someone else
A combination makes the spark
We fuel the fire then watch it grow
A stimulation to the heart
I lose my head
Out of control
Pulling me over, running me through
I'd be right there in a beat (beat) boy
I'd do anything to be with you
I lose my breath
Out of control
You make my heart beat faster
And that's all that matters
You make my heart beat faster
And that's all that matters
You make my heart beat faster
And that's all that matters
You make my heart beat faster
And that's all that matters
Imagination turn the key
Snap the shot
It's in my head
Anticipation grabbing me
I lose my breath
Out of control
A combination makes the spark
We fuel the fire then watch it grow
A stimulation to the heart
I lose my head
When I'm away from you I can't stay still
My thoughts won't move from the way I feel
It happens time and time again
And the circle never ends
When I'm away from you it hurts to say
My sense is gone so far away
I'm up all through the night
And I can't tell wrong from right
When I'm away from you I see grey big clouds
In the fog and rain all the lonely crowds
It seems to be so blue
Every night I'm missing you
When I'm away from you the sun don't shine
The moon don't come the words don't rhyme
When I'm away from you I can't let go
And you know oh you know
It's all the things you do that make life worth while
Like the way you talk and the way you smile
It's all the things you do that keep me hangin' on
And you know oh you know
When I'm away from the wime won't flow
The tides don't turn and the wind don't blow
I'm up all through the night
And I can't tell wrong from right
When I'm away from you the sun don't shine
The moon don't come the words don't rhyme
When I'm away from you I can't let go
And you know oh you know
When I'm away from you it hurts to say
My sense is gone so far away
It happens time and time again
And the circle never ends
When I'm away from you my boy
Look at the ivy on clingin' wals
Look at the flowers and the green grass so tall
It's not a matter of when push comes to shove
It's just the hour on the wings of a dove
That's just warm love
It's just warm love
I dig it when you're fancy dressed up in lace
I dig it when you have a smile on your face
This inspiration's got to be on the flow
These invitations got to see you to know
It's just warm love
It's just warm love
And it's everpresent everywhere
And it's everpresent everywhere
Warm love
And it's everpresent everywhere
And it's everpresent everywhere
That warm love
To the country I'm goin'
Lay and a laugh in the sun
You can bring your guitar along
We'll sing some songs and have some fun
The sky is cryin' and it's time to go home
And we shall hurry to the car from the foam
Sit by the fire and dry out our we clothes
Outside it's rainin' from the skies up above
Inside it's warm love
Inside it's warm love
And it's everpresent everywhere
And it's everpresent everywhere
I could retire on a Caterpillar tire
Somewhere on a river in the great US
The world slidin' by
Every day is July
Just tubin' down the river with my mind at rest
Now man wasn't made to stay locked up in a cage
And workin' all day ain't that much fun to do
It's gonna come to pass
I'll leave the steel and the glass
Floating down the river down the tube with you
Reuben Reuben let's go tubin'
Won't you take me far away
We could live on love forever
And you know that life should be that way
Now maybe tomorrow find some time I can borrow
A dream just needs a window you can climb on through
Don't wanna wake up some day to find that I passed away
Before I floated on a river down the tube with you
Floatin' down the river got my mind at rest
Down a lazy river now I'm living' my best
He drives her all day long
To fancy bars and restaurants
She acts like nothing's wrong
She satisfies his needs and wants
He will drive her
She will drive him crazy with demands
Until he takes all that he can stand
She believes in gold
And he believes he's lost his soul
She knows she's getting old
She's lost her vision and her goals
She hires gentlemen
For pleasure and for company
He wants her to himself
His love is blind and she can't see
But he will drive her
She will drive him crazy with demands
Until he takes all that he can stand
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement
He wants a single lover
She wants a couple more
He'd like to change her life but
She does not know what for
He feels it's time to leave her
She knows she broke his heart
She kind of fell in love and
He kind of fell apart
But he will drive her
She will drive him crazy with demands
Until he takes all that he can stand
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement
That's the arrangement
You're lookin' right you're walkin' tight
You think everybody wants you
Cause you can do it all night
Don't think you heard me the first time
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
Is is a shock to ya
That I'm not standin' in line
So take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
If you're tough enough
Oh you magnetized me
You really paralyzed me
Got me so crazy that I couldn't see
What kinda guy you were
But when I caught you in my car
You were huggin' and kissin' her
I sad boy you've gone too far
You've really gone too far
So take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
If you're tough enough
If you're rough enough
I can be a fool all by myself
I can get along without your help
I can whisper dirty words with someone else
Better than you do
Better than you do
I can use the phone without your dime
I can be alone and dance all night
Don't worry 'bout me
Cause I'll be alright
So take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
Take it on the chin baby
When I pass you on the street
And I wanna yell come back
Don't tell 'em that you know me
And when I'm standin' next to ya'
In a crowded room
And I wanna yell come back
Don't tell 'em that you know me
Don't let on
Don't let on
Don't let on
When they try and drive you out of your head
Just turn instead and say you don't know me
When I call your name out loud in a dream
Don't tell 'em that you know me
And when I look you in the eye
Cause eyes never lie
Don't tell 'em that you know me
Don't let on
Don't let on
Don't let on
When they try and drive you out of your head
Just turn instead and say you don't know me
When I talk too much about you
And they look for my reaction
Don't tell 'em that you know me
And when I try too hard to hide it
I look quick for some distraction
Cause I can't let it show on me
Don't let on
Don't let on
Don't let on
When they try and drive you out of your head
Just turn instead and say you don't know me
I sit here looking at the stars in the sky
Making their patterns
As breezes blow by
I recognize something
As it comes into view
A face in the stars
And it's you
One kiss to last a lifetime
One kiss I remember it all
One kiss
Always the shiver
You were always the chill
On the edge of emotion
Watch what you wish for
Cause it just might come true
I wished for the moon
And got you
One kiss to last a lifetime
One kiss I remember it all
One kiss there in the moonlight
One kiss it was you
One kiss one kiss
One kiss it was one kiss
I sit here looking at the stars in the sky
Making their patterns
As breezes blow by
I recognize something
As it comes into view
A face in the stars
And it's you
One kiss to last a lifetime
One kiss I remember it all
One kiss there in the moonlight
One kiss it was you
One kiss one kiss
One kiss it was one kiss
One kiss oh one kiss one kiss
One kiss it was one kiss
One kiss one kiss
One kiss one kiss it was you
One kiss I remember you
One kiss one kiss
One kiss one kiss
John and Lucky saw me off
The whistle called the times
Just six days out to the coast
Just six days behind
But I've seen every state since then
And where my boys have gone
Is known to God and four strong winds
And I'm here all alone
Now ten long years have somehow passed
Since I've seen my hometown
And times I've spent upon those streets
And faint familiar sounds
Still whisper gently in my ear
And play upon my eyes
And I'll hold on to my memories
Till one by one they die
I can hear your passing trains
And I wonder what they see
And somewhere's out my window
Are the places I might be
Now I'm chasing down those pretty little boys
They wander through my mind
Maybe they'll remember me
When I work off my time
But I still belong to everyone
And if my sleep allows
Well then all those boys
Will dance tonight
With me and my old pals
But I'm running every single night
And every single days
Lord I've tried everything I know
To somehow find my way
Back to that one place in time
That fond memory endows
It's been a long time since I've seen you
And I don't know what to expect
Cause all the promises you made
You never kept
When you called to say you'd meet me here
What was going through your mind
Are you running to me
Or just running blind
Cause if you're gonna set me up this time
I'll be ready for you
I'm playing it cool
I'm taking a long look back
Cause I know I'll never forget
That I loved you a lot
And you tore my heart into pieces
How do I stop all the
Feeling I've got
From doing me in again
I went out of my way
But it just didn't pay
If you want to see me again
Just open the door
And love me like you never did before
You thought you were clever
When you disappeared
And kept me hanging on by a thread
You left me drowning in tears so deep
Way over my head
You had to place yourself beyond my reach
And play so hard to get
You know you did some things to me baby
I'll never forget
I know I'm taking a chance
Letting you back in again
If you don't need me
You won't see me cryin' anymore
And don't think because I mention your name
I still love you
But it could have been so so much better
How could we know at the time
That is could have been so so much better
It's so easy to look back and say
That things could be so much better
If I had you today
Now what if we'd believed each other's lies
And just suppose you'd tried holding me closer
Once or twice
Then it could have been so so much better
How could we know at the time
That is could have been so so much better
It's so easy to look back and say
That things could be so much better
If I had you today
The all night movies are my only company
And love's so clear in black and white
Somebody's wrong and somebody's always right
Another happy ending and I'm still all alone
Used to call me baby, it always felt so right
Little girls can grow up faster than the speed of light
I'm another lady under this disguise
Sophisticated woman standing right before your eyes
More than anything in the whole world
Just hear me out
I want to be an independent girl
Without a doubt
I hope you understand me breaking all the rules
And I just know much more to life than little girls can chose
I don't have every answer to the problems of the world
And I can't help to solve them if I'm just a little girl
More than anything in the whole world
Without a doubt
I want to be an independent girl
I'm stepping out
Want to move through the days like a gentle breeze
While I'm feeling so free
I'm going to get what I want independently
Come and go as I please
More than anything in the whole world
I want to be an independent girl
Want to move through the days like a gentle breeze
While I'm feeling so free
I'm going to get what I want independently
Come and go as I please
You know I can't wait any longer
I'm stepping out
Yeah and I'm feeling much stronger
Without a doubt
More than anything in the whole world
Just hear me out
I want to be an independent girl
I'm stepping out
More than anything in the whole world
Without a doubt
Warning there's a storm approaching
I see it is moving our way
I can't reach you
The wind hurts my eyes
And we've got to hide
We have got to run
Away from the hurricane
We have go to run
From the island
We have got to run
Away from the hurricane
Hold out your hand
I cannot see you
Warning there's a storm approaching
You, like a bolt of lightning
We were strangers on a train
Thinking that we'd never meet again
We have got to run
Away from the hurricane
We have go to run
From the island
We have got to run
Away from the hurricane
Hold out your hand
I cannot see you
Screaming, is a silent whisper
Find me, I won't let you go now
I can't reach you
The wind hurts my eyes
And we've got to hide
We have got to run
Away from the hurricane
We have go to run
From the island
We have got to run
Away from the hurricane
Hold out your hand
Hometown sweetheart
Hung around in the dark
Only make a move or two
I was just a young fool
Never been to night school
Didn't know enough to be cool
So he found another lover
They went undercover
The way he stole my love was a crime
In order to keep the peace
Callin' out the police
Find him 'for I lose my mind
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio
A complete investigation
What's his destination
Did he leave a trace at all
Book him on suspicion
Just look at my condition
He left me here to take the fall
That boy can surely play it rough
He oughta be in handcuffs
Make him wear a ball and chain
Oh he's just a heart stealer
Sweetest kind o' love dealer
He knows how to fix a game
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio
Lonely heart in distress
Sending out an S.O.S.
All across the U.S. of A.
Come on back and serve your time
Right her in these arms of mine
Gotta have you home today
FBI CID help me help me help me please
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
He's got a big bad record on the heartbreak radio
The boy I love done gone and left me alone
Line up your hood ornament with the highway honey
Turn on your radio they'll be playing our song
Congratulations are over we're heading for clover
Chasin' the big time being young
(And you gotta)
Hang on to your airplane honey
Let it lift you up don't let it hang you in the sky
Life is like a fast train comin'
Catch you standin' still
It'll pass you by
Some folks just sit around the house and do nothing
Some people can't lose some people can't win
There's a man on the street
He got something to sell you
Listen to his story
Don't let him take you in
(And you gotta)
Hang on to your airplane honey
Let it lift you up don't let it hang you in the sky
Life is like a fast train comin'
Catch you standin' still
It'll pass you by
No matter were you stand there's another side
And I wanna find it with you
Rockin' the boat still keep it afloat
Honeymoon me and I'll honeymoon you
When we're much older and the world's on our shoulders
I wanna be glad for all that we've done
I'll sit beside you sweet lullaby you
Livin' in our dreams still being young
(And you gotta)
Hang on to your airplane honey
Let it lift you up don't let it hang you in the sky
Life is like a fast train comin'
Catch you standin' still
MY EYES WERE OPEN-
I WAS READING EVERY LINE-
YET SOMEHOW, I LOST MY PLACE,
IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.
WAS I LOOKIN' AFTER JESUS?
WAS HE LOOKIN' AFTER ME?
BEFORE I FOUND THE ANSWER LORD
WE PARTED COMPANY.
NOBODY KNOWS (no no no no no no),
NOBODY SEES,
TILL THE LIGHT OF LIFE COMES BURNIN'
TILL ANOTHER SOUL GOES FREE.
NOBODY KNOWS
NOBODY SEES,
TILL THE LIGHT OF LIFE STOPS BURNIN'
TILL ANOTHER SOUL GOES FREE.
WHO IS THE GIVER?
AND WHO SHALL RECEIVE?
WHO KNOWS THE ANSWERS?
WHO SHALL BE FREE?
WHAT IS THE QUESTION?
NOW, NOW WHERE IS THE RIGHT?
WHO'S GONNA TESTIFY
FOR ME WHEN I DIE?
YEAH
NOBODY KNOWS.
NOBODY SEES.
TILL THE LIGHT OF LIFE STOPS BURNIN',
You're looking through your window
Into the neon light
You trying to forget him
But the feeling keeps you up all night
Flashback flashback flashback
Only come from an abstract mind
I look back
I see you in your frame
I only wish I could climb through
But the wall around it stops me once again
Flashback flashback flashback
Only come from an abstract mind
Divided hearts
Why do they break
We watch them fall to pieces on the ground
Divided hearts
Why do they break
And we are left with our divided hearts
Standing conversation
Down at the Pink Cafe
You tellin' me you got reason
But I can't hear a single word you say
Flashback flashback flashback
Oh the code of the abstract mind
Divided hearts
Why do they break
We watch them fall to pieces on the ground
Divided hearts
Why do they break
The wind blows cold and the river swells
And the new moon's going wild
And the walls grow thin
It's the state I'm in
You'll just have to excuse me tonight
Cause I'm just checkin' out the ghosts
Checkin' out the ghosts
We wake the beast when we stir the fire
We just can't let it be
After all these years sometimes I still want you near
And it runs bone deep
Cause I'm just checkin' out the ghosts
Seeing if they're still here
Hiding in the closet
Cause its helly in here
Checkin' out the ghosts
I'm just checkin' out the ghosts
I'm just checkin' out the ghosts
Seeing if they're still here
Hiding in the closet
Weighing down the air
Just checkin' out the ghosts
Sleeping in my bed
Running down my back
Messing up my head
I'm just checkin' the ghosts
Just checkin' out the ghost
Just before you go could we talk a while
Maybe my ol' face could make you smile
I know you haven't said all that's on your mind
We always used to keep an open line
People keep on changin'
So everyone's got to bend
I'll keep waiting
Love will come around again
You've already broken me down
And feelin's the way I do
I'm gonna miss you I'm gonna miss you
Try to hold the sun when it's sinking low
Try to keep away the lonely night
Try to make you stay when you wanna go
And nothin' that I say can make things right
People keep on changin'
So everyone's got to bend
I'll keep waiting
Love will come around again
You've already broken me down
And feelin's the way I do
I'm gonna miss you I'm gonna miss you
Just before you go could we talk a while
Maybe my ol' face could make you smile
Guess every dream is just like sand in the hand
Hold it too hard and it's gone
People keep on changin'
So everyone's got to bend
I'll keep waiting
Love will come around again
You've already broken me down
And feelin's the way I do
You can ride in the front
Ride in the back
Or someplace in between
You can say what you mean
But not mean what you say
And wonder if it's all the same
Funny how when your life turns green
And he's right there with you
Then it all turns around
When it all comes down
Is somebody lying to you
She won't be begging for favors
Even with a broken heart
Begging for favors
Even if she's falling apart
Begging for favors
Begging for favors
Is she out of her head
Out of emotion
Cause he's not out of her mind
Headphones blaring solitary radio
She's high on the wire
Down with desire
But she's not out of design
She's just learning how things work
Learning how things work
Learning how things work
She won't be begging for favors
Even with a broken heart
Begging for favors
Even if she's falling apart
She won't be begging for favors
She won't be hanging around
Begging for favors
She won't be begging for favors
You can ride in the front
Ride in the back
Or someplace in between
You can say what you mean
But not mean what you say
And wonder if it's all the same
She won't be begging for favors
Even with a broken heart
Begging for favors
Even if she's falling apart
She won't be begging for favors
Even if she's hanging around
