"If you love me, won't you call me?
I've been waiting; waiting too long.
In my soul is constant yearning,
Always singing; singing this song.
Only love is strong enough to take it on the chin;
When did I begin to fall?
chorus:
Anyway, anyway, you can make that call.
You feel free to make yourself at home.
Aaaaaah; Ooooh.
If we could be closer longer, that would help me;
Help me so much.
We can cure each others' sorrow.
Won't you please, please, please get in touch?
If a love is strong enough it may never end.
Why would I pretend to fall?
Wooooh.
chorus
Any way, any way, any way at all
Any way that you can, make that call!"
(15 second pause; then instrumental music that slowly goes crazy)

You know that I'm crazy 'bout you babe

Anyway, they don't know you like I do
They'll never know you
Anyway, they don't know you like I do
I have been through many disappointments and regrets
Never known yet
The joy of lasting love
Now I'm reaching for your hand
On the shore of happiness
Oh, acquiesce
To you my dear, my love
You take my breath away
You're everything I desire
I can't stay away
I used to say never
But I'll never say never again
Every night and day
I realize what can't be denied
I never thought I'd fall
But I fell anyway
And I know that I know that I know that
I never thought I'd fall but I fell
Anyway
You're the perfect lover
And you are the perfect friend
Now all that's ever been
We simply rose above
And as long as we don't build
A castle on quicksand
We'll experience and understand
The pleasure of lasting love
My heart's on fire
Burning with a flame that will never die
There's a voice inside
Saying don't be afraid don't compromise
You take my breath away
You're everything I desire
I can't stay away
I used to say never
But I'll never say never again
Every night and day
I realize what can't be denied
I never thought I'd fall
But I fell anyway
And I know that, I know that, I know that
I never thought I'd all but I fell
Anyway
There are many, many words that I could say
Melodies I could could play
Prayers that I can pray
Nothing could take your love away
You take my breath away
You're everything I desire
I can't stay away
I used to say never
But I'll never say never again
Every night and day
I realize what can't be denied
I never thought I'd fall
But I fell anyway
And I know that, I know that, I know that
I never thought I'd fall but I fell anyway
I know
I never thought I'd fall but I fell
All the pumping's nearly over for my sweetheart
This is the one for me, time to meet the chef
O boy! Running man is out of death
Feel cold and old, it's getting hard to catch my breath
Is back to ash, 'now, you've had your flash boy'
The rocks in time compress your blood to oil
Your flesh to coal, enrich the soil, not everybody's goal
Anyway, they say she comes on a pale horse
But I'm sure I hear a train
O boy! I don't even feel no pain
I guess I must be driving myself insane
Damn it all, does earth plug a hole in heaven
Or heaven plug a hole in earth
'How wonderful to be so profound
When everything you are is dying underground'
I feel the pull on the rope, let me off at the rainbow
I could have been exploding in space
Different orbits for my bones
Not me, just quietly buried in stones
Keep the deadline open with my maker
See me stretch for God's elastic acre, the doorbell rings and its
"Good morning Rael, so sorry you had to wait
You can spend your whole life building
Something from nothin'
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway
You can chase a dream that seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway
God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway
This world's gone crazy and it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway
You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
In a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway
God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
Yeah, I do it anyway
You can pour your soul out singing a song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah, sing it anyway
I sing, I dream
I love
A place in time
Can make the grind
Fall out when you want to
Anyplace, anytime
All the world loves another
You know you can't find no other
Still I'm gonna love you, yeah
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Dark at one
Are you havin' fun
Come on out with your play toys
You've got the blues on the run
All the world loves another
You know you can't find no other
Still I'm gonna love you, yeah
Yes, I'm gonna love you anyway yeah yeah yeah
No no no no no no no no no
Feelin' low
How I loved you so
Cut out all your teasing
You may never know
All the world loves another
You know you can't find no other
Still I'm gonna love you, yeah
Yeah, yes I know
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Welcome
Or should I say good bye?
It's a question how close we are apart
Are you goin' back home
after this show
Or leaving for the wild
And when you're passing the wardrobe
What will you take?
Your worn out hat of hopes
Or someone else's attractive furs to make
it through
The playgrounds of your life?
All is shown
All shut down
All the world is gone
All the pieces came together
Finally but not too late
All is shown
All shut down
All the world is gone
Just pretend that I'm not there
Make your choice
I'll love you anyway
I'll love you anyway
Just make your choice
Pretend that I'm not there
All the world is gone
All the world is gone
Just take it
Just take it
And you'll make it
Alright, yeah
Ride on
Ride on
All is shown
All shut down
All the world is gone
All the pieces came together
Finally but not too late
All is shown
All shut down
All the world is gone
Just pretend that I'm not there
Make your choice
I'll love you anyway
Trumpet........................ Michael Junker
Hey girl how's by you
Sing your rock and roll
Sing your blues
I'm all right I pay my dues
I got 'em comin' to me
You got 'em comin' to you
I'm gonna try again >
Don't matter if I win or lose > chorus
Gonna try again anyway >
But I know you
You gonna be so cool
Ain't gonna try no sweetp???in'
I ain't no fool
Cause I know you love me girl
Just like I love you
Got my feet on the ground
And I know what I got to do
chorus --
Do you know where you're goin'
Honey where have you been
Do you see the games they're playin'
Do you really believe do can win
When you say why you are going away
You defy me to be there
All your big deals and all of your days
You said you wouldn't but you still care
Everything you need is a delicate disaster
A brief catastrophe just to see if
I could find a way to stay and make this place
Somewhere that I could try and hold on
And give up on this chase that you say
I can't let it go
I'm at the end of my rope
I needed someone to show me everything
And I thought you could wait
Through my missteps and mistakes
I needed someone to say
That you'd be here anyway
When did you start to finally see
My melancholy habit
An affection for tragedy
Should've loved it when you had it
Everyday I'm gone
Breaking pieces off my memory
But you remember wrong
With the hope that
I can't let it go
I'm at the end of my rope
I needed someone to show me everything
And I thought you could wait
Through my missteps and mistakes
There was a time, I would've trusted you
There was a time, that I would give it all away
There was a time, i'd give it just to you
There was a time, it didn't matter
What you'd say
What you'd say
I loved you so but that was long ago
When it only takes a day
It doesn't matter anyway
It doesn't matter anyway
Lying on my own again
Standing for whatever comes along
You'll never be alone again
You're only lonely when you let yourself get strong
get too strong
(chorus)
Look at your catastrophe
Look at me how it has to be
Say goodbye it's all the past to me
Just don't try
not the last to be
free and stupid in the sunrise
Summer blowin' by and shining in the trees
I get the feeling that you feel no suprise
unexpected morning had me on my knees
on my knees
(chorus)
Hey girl how's by you
Sing your rock and roll
Sing your blues
I'm all right I pay my dues
I got 'em comin' to me
You got 'em comin' to you
I'm gonna try again >
Don't matter if I win or lose > chorus
Gonna try again anyway >
But I know you
You gonna be so cool
Ain't gonna try no sweetp???in'
I ain't no fool
Cause I know you love me girl
Just like I love you
Got my feet on the ground
And I know what I got to do
chorus --
Do you know where you're goin'
Honey where have you been
Do you see the games they're playin'
Do you really believe do can win
chorus --
Never say that nothing ever came from a mouse, anyway.
Might crawl to your house, take that cat away.
Don't let the world tell your mouth that it must say.
Nothing ever came from a mouse, anyway, anyway.
Never say that nothing ever came from a gnat, anyway.
Might fly in your ear, and then he done flown away.
Oh that aggravation can't you ever say.
Nothing ever came from a gnat, anyway, anyway.
Anyway.
Something always comes from the music, anyway.
Came into my life, ripped my blues away.
Oh that stereo is my best friend everyday.
Something always comes from the music anyway, anyway.
Anyway.
Don't you feel the music going to your bones.
And don't you feel that music is life.
Well, I do.
It's like blood ever flowing.
But I pray to God that the music fills the cup.
It gets me off when I'm feeling down.
And I cannot sleep when that music is around.
Well, I live just to move.
So get on up and get that groove back in your move.
A wise man once said.
A wise man once told me he said,
"When music is the one thing that surrounds you.
You feel no pain."

i awake... and i look...
down at my sleeping face
from the cold...
persuading melodies
want me to join this...
unreal dance
an unholy humming
that echoes and dies
can i resist...
be torn into laughter
and can i persist
being torn into light
they want me to join this...
unreal dance
that forces my mind
just to follow thy will
anyway...
any way must lead out into me
anyway i can't go on crawling
anyway, i must get rid of it all...
endless halls... dancing shades
spinning round
twisting their skinny limbs
stench of doom i smell...
they want me to join this...
unreal dance
and don't want to offer me...
any further chance
careworn... down torn...
into the swirl of their senselessness...
cosy emptiness...
it wants me to join this...
unreal dance
left alone... anywhere you go...
Bless the day, this restoration is complete
Dirty dusty something must be underneath
So I scrape and I scuff, though it's never quite enough
I'm starting to see me finally
A gallery of paintings new and paintings old
I guess it's no surprise that I'm no Michael Angelo
Every layer of mine hides a lovely design
It might take a little patience, it might take a little time
But you called me beautiful
When you saw my shame
And you placed me on the wall
Anyway
You who have begun this work will someday see
A portrait of the holiness you meant for me
So I polish and shine, 'til it's easier to find
Even an outline of mine
But you called me beautiful
When you saw my shame
And you placed me on the wall
Anyway
Anyway
And you placed me on the wall
"Anyway"

I don't wanna get too close
I don't wanna get too close
you see this isn't where my head is
if you knew me i'm not like this
but i just found someone special
that's really somethin special
if you knew me
nice to meet you.. anyway
I believe your very fine
still i haven't got the time
cuz i just found someone special
that's really somethin special
if you knew me
nice to meet you.. anyway
and the sky opens up
with the soil of the sun
dreaming of my true looovee
I don't mean to be so strange
but my life just took a change
oh your amazing, I'm attracted, and im terribly distracted
and I'm tryin to be verbal, I'm back into the circle
because i just found someone special
that's really somethin special
if you knew me
nice to meet you
nice to meet you
nice to meet you.. anyway (4 times)
[Verse 1:]
Is it me, or is this music shit wack?
Could it be, this rap shit it's a wrap?
How did we, get so far off track?
To the wack then you automatically get a contract
The south?
You can't hate on that
But a lot of rappers comin' out of there is real wack
Snap music, I get it
The bitches love it, admit it
But "Aye Bay Bay", I'm not fuckin' with it
And ain't got to
My music likewise
Different strokes for different folks, they showin' the same signs
Punxsutawney Phil I keep seein' the same guys
Ground Hog's Day I keep hearin' the same rhymes
If anyone's offended, shit I ain't gonna apologize
I feel like Bill Murray, want to break my radio
Neighbors wonder why record sales ain't poppin'
Don't just blame digital downloads, it's the bullshit your droppin'
[Chorus: Mike Ant]
You might not like what I'm bout to say
But I'm gonna say it anyway
You might not like what I'm gonna say
But I'm gonna say it anyway
[Verse 2:]
Honestly, honesty don't offend me
Honestly, that's all my pen be
Rappers got a problem, we ain't gotta be friendly
But stop makin' songs for kids and leave that to Disney
I don't listen to kids, kids listen to me
So when they grow up who you think they wanna be?
Hopefully not me
I'm no role model
But I roll with a model, smash it like avacado
Raise yo' kids stop raisin' hell
Stop blamin' 50 Cent when young Johnny go to jail
Be A Parent Or Die Tryin', you ain't done too well
I don't know yo kids, it's not my fault if you failed
But Oprah said it's rap's fault, disrespectful to the female
But what does she know? She's finger bangin' Gail
I could be right or I could be wrong
Let he without sin cast the first stone
[Chorus: Mike Ant]
You might not like what I'm bout to say
But I'm gonna say it anyway
You might not like what I'm gonna say
But I'm gonna say it anyway
[Verse 3:]
New York, New York big city of dreams
Niggas swear they gang bangers, it ain't all that it seems
Is Jim Jones a real Blood?
Ask Big Wide
Oh Wee and Young Dre will get the truth, no lie
I ain't really like "Ballin'" but I like his style
And Juelz is dope but cut that Blood shit out
See Mims did his thing, it ain't like he can't rap
But a fake south track ain't gonna bring New York back
And the west coast?
Our shit is trash
New west full of pests, hate to see you get some cash
Old niggas too, the torch they refuse to pass
Rather see it go out until they croak and pass
L.A. full of haters that's why we don't last
I see why Dre don't fuck with niggas, do his thing and mash
"California Love", that's a thing of the past
You wanna make it in Hollywood, you better drive right past
[Chorus: Mike Ant]
You might not like what I'm bout to say
But I'm gonna say it anyway
You might not like what I'm gonna say
Pornography!
I pretend i cant hang up the phone
Cos if i do then he gets you
And ill be in this room alone
Staring at the carpet
Wondering how they made it
And you would i should not be afraid
Im better off alone and free
Cos no-one can put up with me
And your mom don't like me either
Now I don't have to meet her
You and me
We end up in catastrophe
But i have got one more thing to add
OK so im a jerk
And im a weirdo
And even if im lucky ill amount to zero
But i thought that you'd love me anyway
I'm so not even worth it
But baby no-ones perfect
Yeah, I thought that you'd love me anyway,
Anyway
You're not the type of girl who takes advice
Still all that shit your parents said
Still bouncing round inside your head
"You two will never make it
If you build it he will break it"
You and me
They sum us up so poignantly
But i have got one more thing to add
OK so im a jerk
And im a weirdo
And even if im lucky ill amount to zero
But i thought that you'd love me anyway
I'm so not even worth it
But baby no-ones perfect
Yeah, I thought that you'd love me anyway,
Anyway
Maybe youll never play the guitar
Maybe youll never sing in harmony with me
Maybe you cant rock the ac/dc
Well hell still aint a bad place to be when your with me
Anyway
OK so im a jerk
And im a weirdo
And even if im luckly ill amount to zero
But i thought that you'd love me anyway
I'm so not even worth it
But baby no-ones perfect
Yeah, I thought that you'd love me anyway...
Anyway
Anyway
Still I Remember....
I'd like to say I'm sorry
I'd like to make amens
I'd close my eyes and tell the truith
Where would I begin
The story's far from simple
I'm so afaid to show
I never want to run again
I want to let you know
Anyway
What was I saying
Anyway
I seem to have lost my place again
Anyway
So now I need just to forget
But I can't do it
Whoa I try
Anyway
We believed in music
Brothers till the end
Nothin stood between us
The fire burned within
Whoa how I remember
Beneathe the lights
Lost in my insanity
Striving to survive
Anyway
What was I saying
Anyway
I seem to have lost my place again
Anyway
Whoa how I need just to forget
But I can't do
Whoa I try
Still I can't do it
Whoa I try
Oh I try
Anyway
(On and on and on and on)
Still I remember
Still I remember
Haunting me
Calling me
No No -No No -No No
(On and on and on and on)
(On and on and on and on)
Still I remember
Still I remember
Haunting me
Calling me
What was I saying
Anyway
I wouldn't mind if I were to die this morning
I wouldn't care if the sky fell down on me
The tide has turned, what did I learn?
I burned out but somehow did survive
Felt weak, yet I stayed alive
Now I find it so damn hard to keep on breathing
And I find it so damn hard to make it through to the
other side
Still everytime I've tried to change
The world has brought me down
And she said: "Anyway", she said "Anway"
I couldn't find what I have been searching
I couldn't bear such a burden in my hand
Made a U-turn, there's no return
Deserve another chance to try
Or is it all just a waste of time?
Now I find it so damn hard to keep on breathing
And I find it so damn hard to make it through to the
other side
Still everytime I've tried to change
The world has brought me down
And she said: "Anyway", she said "Anyway"
Don't say you made your choice for me
You can spend your whole life buildin',
Somethin' from nothin'
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway.
You can chase a dream,
That seems so out of reach,
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway.
God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway,
I do it anyway.
This world's gone crazy,
It's hard to believe,
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway.
You can love someone with all your heart,
For all the right reasons,
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway.
God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
When I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway,
I do it anyway.
You can pour your soul out singing,
A song you believe in,
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway,
Yeah, sing it anyway
I sing, I dream, I love,
you gotta be kidding me
i'm through with you girl anyway
i'll wait for you i always do
it's dumb but i want to anyway
** so here we are stuck in hell
same old game we know it well
i don't mind...anyway
spark it up and numb me on and off again
oh what the hell
i don't mind...anyway
been sittin' here have another beer
i'm drunk but i want some anyway
i just don't care enough about you
so fuck you anyway
** so here we are stuck in hell
same old game we know it well
i don't mind...anyway
spark it up and numb me on and off again
oh what the hell
i don't mind...anyway
you gotta be kidding me
i'm through with you girl anyway
too numb to know that i'm happy
without you i'm better off anyway
i just don't care enough about this to make the effort to show you
that i care enough to try to get you back in bed with me
** so here we are stuck in hell
same old game we know it well
i don't mind...anyway
spark it up and numb me on and off again
oh what the hell
You see it all started out
With the very best of my sincere intentions
So I thought anyway
But that day that we got lost
I could tell she had
Penetrated my defences
But I carried on anyway
And then the moment that we came I could tell we would
Never be the same again
More so anyway
Now feel the burden of my shame
As I try to make some sense out of this brittle life
Oh anyway
I thought I was strong enough to be everything
You could ever want or need or need of me
Anyway
So then they questioned all my friends
And tooth by tooth they extracted their confessions
So called anyway
Then they read all the books I'd read
And tried to link the authors to my known profession
They failed anyway
But then they put her on the rack
And they broke her perfect back
Into tiny pieces
She never talked anyway
Then they squeezed me till I cracked
And one by one I gave away all her secrets
Forgive me anyway
I thought I was strong enough to be everything
You could ever want or need or need of me
Anyway
And the words that I hear are the lies that you say
You know that I'm crazy 'bout you babe
Why do you play with me anyway, anyway
Is that anyway for you to treat somebody who loves you
Who thinks the world of you, you know, you can't treat me anyway
Is that anyway for you to treat somebody who needs you
An' goin' out their way to please you, I must be crazy but anyway
You know the buttons to push, you know the words to say
You got the smile to use to get your own way
I'm getting paid, you got it made in the sade
And every day is like a holiday
You know my weakness, you know I can't say no
You know my no means yes and my stop means go
You're taking me for a ride and this is how it looks
From my side, peep the game
Is that anyway for you to treat somebody who loves you
Who thinks the world of you, you know, you can't treat me anyway
Is that anyway for you to treat somebody who needs you
An' goin' out their way to please you, I must be crazy but anyway
Check it out
I catch you out flirtin' with the boys in the hood
You turn it round make me feel I misunderstood
Every time I'm the last to know
Here's your academy award for puttin' on the greatest show
Momma told me 'bout girls like you
And all the trouble they can put you through
I give you love but you make me pay
When you turn around and give it all away
Is that anyway for you to treat somebody who loves you
Who thinks the world of you, you know, you can't treat me anyway
Is that anyway for you to treat somebody who needs you
An' goin' out their way to please you, I must be crazy but anyway
Girl, you make me say, baby, baby, baby, baby
Can't believe the games you play just to get your own way
Baby, baby, baby, baby
All along you set me up waitin' for your perfect payday
Baby, baby, baby, baby
It's comin' back to you an' you will be mortified tore up inside
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Me and my new shorty will be rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
Girl, you make me say, "Hey", when you do me this way
You blew my mind and made me blind, I couldn't read the signs
Girl, you make me say, "Hey", when you do me this way
Just so you, it's time to go
Is that anyway for you to treat somebody who loves you
Who thinks the world of you, you know, you can't treat me anyway
Is that anyway for you to treat somebody who needs you
An' goin' out their way to please you, I must be crazy but anyway
Is that anyway for you to treat somebody who loves you
Who thinks the world of you, you know, you can't treat me anyway
Is that anyway for you to treat somebody who needs you
I'm scared, I'm scared you'll run away and never know me
I'm scared, I'm scared you'll run away and never show me
You run away, your love away
You're giving, you're giving your heart away
You live away, just kiss away
You're giving, you're giving your heart away
I never said before I'm your main adorer
But still we must perform
I love you anyway ohhh ahhh
I'm hurt, I'm hurt by everything you never told me
I'm hurt, I'm hurt by everything you never showed me
You never said before you're my main adorer
But still we must perform
I love you anyway oohhh ahhh
I said I love you, tell everybody, tell everybody to love everybody
Saturday’s the last I saw of what I got on Friday
And tomorrow I will crawl on back and stand in line
If I can I’ll borrow some to make it through a while
Hand me down and run me ‘round until I’m back again
All the livelong day -- anyway
So you say a few of us will not be coming back
Who among you will not mind and who is looking slack
Did I hear an angry word from one of you sometime
Did you know the gravy train can stop upon a dime
All the livelong day -- anyway
Yauxdel
When I find my hat I’m gone away . . . anyway
Trick down until the rain had finally reached my shoes
Would that I could play guitar and this could be my dues
Thought about that little engine -- tried to say I can
Blind-different dimension
Grind-same old direction
Sharp-crystal execration
Opaque is translucent for the nation
Anyway, just take your time
You wanna be making moves on the streets,
have no attachments,
allow nothing to be in your life
that you cannot walk out on in thirty seconds flat
if you spot the heat around the corner.
Anyway you ask me for a night
Anyone is searching for the rights
Anyway you are blessed by all the angels above
Anytime you want to change the world
Anyhow it isn`t just a pearl
Anyone could be the one, you believe in, just please him
Anyway we can receive the high
Anything you love no need to fight
Everyone is looking for love
Feel I`m coming home
Feel I`m not alone
Feel I`m coming home
Feel I`m not alone
Anyway the war still going on
Anyway it turns your heart to stone
Everthing smells dead in times of weapons and lies
Anyway we waiting for the sun
Anyhow we don`t believe in guns
Anyway we all know love is on the run
Feel I`m coming home
Feel I`m not alone
Feel I`m coming home
Feel I`m not alone
When I was just a little one
My mama used to tell me
“Don’t loose your head
You’ll get there
Life is hard
But not unfair”
It wasn’t long ago
I learned I have been played for a fool
But I let it go- I let it go
We must keep our spirits High!
Come to me mother
And whisper in my ear
Tomorrow is another day
And soon another year
It’s hard to run fast as time slips away
And I didn’t begin to love you like I should
Anyway
So pick up those oars
And row madly up the stream
Put more juice in the engine
Let me see a little steam!
Years and years of rowing
Up and down
It seems
To port town to port town
They're trying to find the sea
Come to me mother
I want to know you are near
We're closer than we’ve ever been
It’s never been so clear
“Life is too short”
Well that’s what they say
and I didn’t begin to love you like I should
Anyway
Come to me mother
And whisper in my ear
Tomorrow is another day
And soon another year
It’s hard to run fast as time slips away
And I didn’t begin to love you
Yes I didn't begin to love you yeah
Until I was so far away
I picked those oars
And I rowed madly
Stream to river
River to sea
Till you mother
Whisper to me
Pick up up those oars
and row madly up the stream
Put more juice in the engine
Let me see a little steam
Years and years of rowing
Up and down it seems
To port town to port town
They're trying to find the sea!
Come to me mother
And whisper in my ear
Tomorrow is another day
And soon another year
it’s hard to run fast
As time slips away
And I didn’t begin to love you like I should
Girl, I've been watching you
Watching you all night long
You are somebody
That I like to call my own
I've got to make you
See my point of view
'Cause all I wanna do
Is share some love with you
BRIDGE:
Now baby you know, it's our destiny
To be wrapped up in each other's fantasy?
CHORUS:
(Anyway you want it)
Anyway you want it tonight, baby
Girl, I'm gonna teach you right
I'll love you everyday and night
(Anyway you want it)
Anyway you want it tonight, baby baby
(Anyway you want it)
I'll never ever do you wrong
My love goes on..
And on and on
Girl, I'm the kinda man
That you've been looking for
My love is gonna keep you coming back for more
You are the kinda girl
Baby, that I can't ignore
I think I'm falling
And you are fallen for
