Hey, hey, I'm in love again,
Falling down on my knees,
I never thought I'd ever feel this way again.
I was walking out late last night, Hanging out in Central Park,
Saw a man coming up with a light in his eyes, Shinning out in the dark,
He said, hey where you going, you know, I said it ain't no business of yours because, Hey, hey, I'm in love again, Falling down on my knees,
I never thought I'd ever feel this way again.
Look out baby.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, hey, I'm in love again, Falling down on my knees,
I never thought I'd ever feel this way again.
Hey, hey, I'm in love again, I'm falling down on my knees,
I never thought I'd ever feel this way again.
Hey, hey, I'm in love; I'm in love, Falling down on my knees,
I never ever thought I'd feel, this way, This way, again.
Whoa-oh-oh-woah-ahh
There she stood in the street
smilin' from her head to her feet;
I said, "Hey, what is this?
Now baby, maybe,
maybe she's in need of a kiss."
I said, "Hey, what's your name?
Maybe we can see things the same."
"Now don't you wait, or hesitate
Let's move before they raise the parking rate."
All right now, baby, it's a-all right now.
All right now, baby, it's a-all right now.
(Let me tell you now)
I took her home to my place,
Watchin' every move on her face;
She said, "Look, what's your game, baby?
Are you tryna' put me to shame?"
I said "Slow, don't go so fast, don't you think that love can last?"
She said, "Love, Lord above,
now you're tryna' trick me in love."
All right now, baby, it's a-all right now.
All right now, baby, it's a-all right now.
Whoo, oh yeah

All right now, baby, it's a-all right now
Yeah, we're so happy together
It's all right, it's all right it's all right
I need a long walk
With someone who knows what to do
I need a long talk
I need a helping hand to pull me through
I need a tall drink
With somebody who cares, I need someone here for company
It's time to rethink and somehow find a way
To put an end to this mystery
See I don't know, the pain won't go
And the hurt inside is getting so damn hard to hide
So now I pay the price
I wonder how much it's gonna take
I'm gonna roll the dice
And try to take all this heartache
But I still don't know, the pain won't go
And the hurt inside is getting so damn hard to hide
I gotta work it out 'cause my heart is still racing, racing away
Work it out 'cause my heart is still breaking, hey
So now I'll take this long walk
I don't want anybody listenin'
'Cause I really wanna pour it out
And all went out without ever giving in
But I still don't know, the pain won't go
I'm still hurting inside and it's so damn hard to hide
You gotta help me work it out 'cause my heart is still racing, racing away
Work it out 'cause my heart, my heart is breaking away
I've gotta work this out 'cause my heart is still racing away
Yeah, work it out 'cause my heart, it's so much a part of me
Work it out
(Gotta work it out)
My heart is still racing
(And I'm wasting away)
Work it out
I know you're not just a pretty face
You've got style, you've got grace
But I do need to know you a little more
I've seen your picture as a little girl
Before the woman in you uncurled
But I do need to show you a little more
This love, will last us forever
This love, is gonna stay true
I know you've got what it's gonna take
You've got a heart and it won't break
But I do need to show you a little more
And I've got this feelin', it's so much like pain
You've got me reelin', but I still can't explain
I wanna show you, baby, just a little more
This love, will last us forever
This love, is gonna stay true
This love, will keep us together
This love, it's long overdue, yeah
This child, this girl, this woman that I dream about
She knows that I know, this love I couldn't live without
This love, will last us forever
This love, is gonna stay true
This love, will keep us together
This love, it's long overdue
Ooh, you're like a book with a page torn out
You can turn from a whisper to a shout, ooh yeah
You come running just as fast as you can
into the arms of another man, yeah
But you can do what you wanna do now
tell me what you wanna say
You can take what you wanna take, babe,
take it all away
(chorus)
Oh, there's no smoke without a fire
and there's no heat without a flame
Oh, there's no love without desire
but I won't play your games
Ooh, you've got the looks that can turn a head
You've got a turn that can leave a man dead, ooh yeah
You keep tellin' me our love is alright
You disappear, you don't come home all night
Just tell me what you wanna do now
tell me where you wanna go
It's your life, you can do what you want
baby let me know
(chorus)
Please don't ask me why
'cos I can't quite explain, I'm like a moth to your flame
(instrumental)
Yeah, just tell me what you wanna do now
tell me where you wanna go
It's your life, you can do what you want
baby let me know, yeah
(chorus) - let's talk about it
The company I'm keeping, well it may be bad
But it ain't bad enough, compared to me
So baby start believing, I'm the best you've ever had
Just give me time and I will make you see
Gonna prove you wrong, gonna prove me right
You better make your mind up, it's gotta be tonight
Baby baby baby, I can light your fuse
You ain't got nothing, nothing to lose, baby
Chorus:
Put both feet in the water - put 'em in the water, baby
Put your fears in the past - put 'em in the past, yeah
Forget what people have told you - don't listen
If you want our loving to last
I know what you've been hearing, and it makes me mad
To think that you'd believe so many lies
Girl I'm gonna tell you one thing, the rumours may be bad
But you ain't got no right to criticize
Because I heard about you and the things you do
You gotta make your mind up, am I coming through?
So baby baby baby, it's time you made your move
I ain't got nothing, nothing to prove, baby
chorus
(Solo)
Gonna prove you wrong, gonna prove me right
You gotta make your mind up, it's gotta be tonight
I said, baby baby baby baby baby, gonna light your fuse
You ain't got nothing, nothing to lose, baby
chorus repeats 3x
You'd better listen, baby
Should have told you by now,
but I can't find the words, oh no
If I could show you somehow
but I don't have the nerve, oh yeah
You don't see me looking at you
how can love be so blind
Somehow you don't notice me
sooner or later there will come a time, baby
(chorus)
If you needed somebody
like the way that I need you
If you wanted somebody
like the way that I want you, yeah
Oh yeah, the way that I want you
If I could hold you tonight
it would last me forever
But the time's never right
when will we be together, oh no
If I could make you understand
what you're doing to me
Maybe there will come a time
when sooner or later I will make you see, baby
(chorus)
Ooh, if I could tell you now
the way you make me feel
Ooh, if I could show you somehow
don't you know my lovin' is oh so real
(instrumental)
(chorus)
(if you need somebody) I need you
I want you, I gotta tell you
Oh The way that I need you
And if you wanted somebody
(howe/thomas)

Chorus:
I don't care what people say - I want you, yes I do
I don't care what people say - I want you, yes I do

Ooh that girl, I really wanna know that girl
Gonna make my move, play my hand, got a lot to prove, make you understand
Chorus
I don't care what people say - I want you, yes I do

I've been up, I've been down, I've been in every situation
I've been pushed, pushed around, and I've been stuck at every station
Looking back, felt so good, searching for fortune and fame
Suddenly comes to you, you're only playing a game
(don't need no video) no matter what they say
(don't need no radio) you know, love is here to stay
Chorus:
Lay your love on me, each and every night, baby
Lay your love on me, it'll be alright
Straight up, down the line, I've got the blues in my soul
All I need is my guitar, I got this rock, I wanna roll
You gotta fight for what's right, I never did need the fame
Suddenly comes to you, you're only playing a game
(don't need no video) no matter what they say
(don't need no radio) you know, love is here to stay
Chorus:
Lay your love on me, each and every night, baby

Chorus repeats out...
Lay your love on me, each and every night, baby
If you want my love, you got it
A little something from above, tell me if you want it
But don't you leave me waiting, it don't matter where you are

I'd pull the world apart, just to get a glimpse
One lie was all it took, I've missed you ever since, so get ready
Oooh, we're gonna take this town, oooh, we're gonna tear it down
And anywhere I go, baby, I see you
I gotta let you know, ooh darlin', just how much I need ya
This time I'm gonna find you, you gotta know how much I care
So take a look behind you, you'll see me everywhere, right there

And I'm gonna take this place apart, I'll find you in the end, so get ready
Oooh, we're gonna take this town, oooh, we're gonna tear it down, I said

Oooh, we're gonna take this town, gonna tear it down, yeah, oh yeah - watch me
Oooh, we're gonna take this town, oooh, we're gonna tear it down
Could never be what they want him to be, he's stranger than fiction
And he's got no past, he's a mystery, but he's got ambition
And there's always been a mountain to climb, and this one's just higher
But he shows no fear, it's just a matter of time
You know, he's always been a fighter, yeah
There's no need to ask him why, yeah, you can see it in his eyes
Yeah, he's shooting for the sky, yeah
Chorus:
If we're right, no one shall fight it, no
That good boy won't be slain, oh no
And the young will fight all the powers above
Till the world knows his name, till they know his name
No one knows what he's feeling inside, he's burning with passion
There's only one way out, he's gotta get that right
He wants to go straight to the action, yeah
Sometimes it seems so long, yeah, but his passion is so strong
And something makes him carry on, oh yeah
Chorus
He'll do what he has to do, to be part of the game
Yeah, he knows what he'll have to go through, till the world knows his name

Yeah, he's shooting for the sky, yeah
I, I miss you, I just can't resist you
I need you like the sun needs the day, oh please, won't you come back again
Line by line, so many pages I write
I can't find the words to tell you how I feel tonight
Without you my heart would fade away, I need you like the sun needs the day
Chorus:
'cos you are my only one, with all that we've been through
Each step that I take, it leads me back to you
I am the lucky one, right here in this place
The light in your face, is brighter than the sun
Oh baby you are my only one
(solo)
Come now, come closer my sweet child
Lay your, your weary head to rest a while
Your love is like the wind that fills my sail
Your touch gives me a faith that cannot fail
We only get one chance to get even, so don't tell me who's wrong or right
You know there's just one thing that I believe in
I won't give in without a fight, hey
I'm hot, ready or not, you know I'm coming
I can't wait to wipe that straight, there ain't no point in running
Chorus:
Here comes trouble - walking down your street
Here comes trouble - and I'll get ready, soon we're gonna meet boy
Here comes trouble - I'll come knocking down that door
You'll soon see what I've been waiting for
Here comes trouble!
You better watch your step, I mean it, you're just running out of time
You got a nasty streak, and I've seen it, but it ain't nothing next to mine
Too bad, you made me mad, and now you know it
You'll see, you know me, I can't wait to show it
Here comes trouble - walking down your street
Here comes trouble - I'm gonna get ready, soon we're gonna meet boy
Here comes trouble - and I'll come running through that door
You'll soon see what I've been waiting for, trouble
(solo)
You only get one chance, you'd better believe it
When I tell you who's wrong or right
Too bad, that I'm mad, but now you know it
You'll see, you know me, and I've got ways to show it - trouble
Sittin' in the back of a limousine, feelin' just like a king
All the girls come runnin' to you, you're the latest thing
Sittin' up there at the top of the charts, lookin' like Mr. Cool
You take all the money, steal their hearts, they'll come runnin' to you
Your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
All your fame and your fortune, you better take a look around
With your fame and your fortune, careful who you talk to
Or the fame and your fortune, watch it all tumble down, yeah, oh listen now
Now you're lookin' for inspiration, somethin' to say
When you find that it don't come easy, you find them running away
You had it all in the palm of your hand, and let it slip away
You made it big, ooh so big, and then you threw it all away
All your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
Fame and your fortune, hey you better take another look
At your fame and your fortune, it set you up, then it caught you
Fame and your fortune, surely gonna let you down, hey tell me now
(Solo)
All your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
Take your fame and your fortune, wait and take a look around
For your fame and your fortune, who do you talk to
'Bout your fame and your fortune, as it all comes tumbling down
Fame and your fortune, fame and your fortune, yes all come tumbling down
Fame and your fortune, fame and your fortune, all comes tumbling down...
I'm so blind, ooh I just can't see, what kind of love you expect from me
Let me know, you gotta sort this out
Come on babe, I've had enough of this doubt
I thought I knew what you wanted, just goes to show I was wrong
I'm twice the man that ya, you think I am, this time I'm gonna be strong, yeah
Chorus:
Shake it up - ooh yeah, put the world to right
Shake it up - this gotta be, babe, that's alright
Shake it up - yeah baby, you ran out of luck
Shake it up - yeah yeah yeah
Whoo, you don't know, ooh what you've done for me
You built me up, baby, can't you see
Don't seem right that after all this time
I found out you're no friend of mine
You knew that sooner or later, you knew it deep in your heart
All the troubles that ya, you gave to me, babe
Were gonna tear us, tear us apart
(chorus)
You had me searchin' for answers, you had me livin' from day to day
I guess you ran out of chances, whoo babe, there was no other way
(solo)
I thought I knew what you wanted, just goes to show I was wrong
I'm twice the man that ya, you think I am, this time I'm gonna be strong, yeah
She knocked down my money, she knocked down my fame
Just wanna feel I'm a part of the game
On the radio, on tv, it's like a heartbeat deep inside of me
Know what I want, know how to get, it's like the sound of a hot corvette
Start it up, let it roll, come on baby, let's lose control
Ooh yeah, I wanna live it up, ooh yeah, don't wanna give it up, oh no
I wanna rock the rock of america, yeah baby rock the rock of america, ooh yeah
I hear the beat everywhere, smalltown streets, union squares
Every city's got that sound, it's in the open, not underground
Turn it up all the way, you can't escape it, it's here to stay
Sounds like thunder in my soul, come on babe, let's lose control
Ooh yeah, I wanna live it up, ooh yeah, don't wanna give it up now, no no
I wanna rock the rock of america, yeah baby rock the rock of america, ooh yeah
(solo)
Ooh yeah, I wanna live it up, ooh yeah, don't wanna give it up now, no
I wanna rock the rock of america, yeah rock the rock of america
An' I've gotta rock the rock of america, you know what I want
I ain't got no money, but I sure got style
And if you got the time, girl, I'll show you how to smile
Come on make your mind up, ooh baby take a chance
Before this night is over, I'll show you how to dance, yeah
You like the danger, it's in your eyes, I can see it there
Throw your dance with a stranger, kiss him goodbye, yeah, bye bye baby
Chorus:
One night ain't no love affair, but I won't ask no more from you
One night with you anywhere, heaven knows what we can do
So sophisticated, I like the way you dress
The way you move your body, ooh, baby I'm obsessed
I don't want no lifetime, I just want tonight
Come on, take a chance, girl, I know you know it's right, yeah
I've got this feeling, it's feelin' so strong, when I first saw you
You've got me reelin', don't prove me wrong, oh come on, baby
(chorus)
(solo)
Yeah, you like the danger, it's in your eyes, I can see it, baby
You took a chance with a stranger, kiss him goodbye, bye bye baby

I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up for your love
You let me down, turned me 'round, you messed around with my heart
What kind of woman with a smile on her face
Can tear your whole world apart, hey

I'm burnin' up, burnin' up, I'm burnin' up every night

How could you be so indiscrete, and still be so unashamed, hey
I'm on fire, I feel it burnin' up, I'm on fire
Hey you said you'd never leave me, you said we'd never be apart
You turned out to be a liar, and left me with a broken heart
Why did you do it babe, yeah

Ooh I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up for your love

You're a dangerous age, ooh yeah, you're a dangerous age
In the beginning
I believed every
word that you said
Now that your gone
my world is in shreds
Oh you loved me and left me
you took all the things
that I needed so bad
I am standing here wondering
where is the love that I had
(chorus)
Give me silver blue and gold
the color of the sky I'm told
My rainbow is overdue
In the beginning
there was something
of love that was mine
Now that it's gone
oh I am crying
Oh the time that it takes
for a love to grow cold
is a wonder to me
I am walking around
with my head hanging down
Tell me, where is she?
(chorus)
Oh don't forsake me cause I love you
Don't forsake me cause I love you
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(chorus 2x)
(instrumental)
Oh don't forsake me cause I love you
Well I finished fooling around
With you pretty mama
Finished fooling around with you
No more wasting my time
No more standing in line
And I'm shiftin' on back
To where I came from
{Chorus}:
You know I heard it in the news
And it gave me the blues
You know it ain't right
People are fighting every place I look People uptight everywhere
And I'm shiftin' on back
To where I once came from
Ain't no lie, ain't it too bad mama
Too bad you're gonna cry
{Chorus}
Ain't no lie, ain't it too bad mama
My life is like water
And I'm floating in the sea
But I have a root in the water
And it's reaching, stretching endlessly
My love, flying in the sky
And far away from the water she lies
Sometimes big wave
Coming when I'm down
But soon I stand on up again
{2x}
My life is like water
And I'm floating in the sea
My soul is a stream on the water
I'm making sure
Another late night drags on
Just one more drink
But you know I'm wrong
Sooner or later
When everyone's gone
You just shake your head
And take my hand
You seem to know what it takes me
Time to tell
But then you know me
Suprprises me how well
You make me an offer
That I can't refuse
Take my arm and walk away
{Chorus}:
Help me find my way home
Along this rocky road
'Cause I can't carry on
Will you head me to my bed
Ease my aching head
Take me where I belong
Sometimes you smile
At the clothes that I wear
You listen to reason
When I just don't care
It's bringing me down
Then I start to fall
You catch my heart
And I don't let it go
{Chorus}
As I see you lay your head
I'm glad it's next to mine, mine, whoa
Won't you come on home
{Chorus} [2x]
Take me home
(Written by Mick Ralphs)
I was down and out, and living on my luck
Even that was wearing thin
Turned around one day and you were standing there, babe
You made my life begin
You're the only reason I'm living
I'm loving every minute with you, yeah
You're the reason I'm living
And I owe it all to you
I was lonely, I was down, and I was broke
'Bout as low as a man could be
You picked me up and you saved me, baby
'Cause you believed in me, yes you did
You're the only reason I'm living
I'm loving every minute with you, yeah
You're the reason I'm living
And I owe it all to you, yeah
I'm looking back all things going down
You made me strong
Baby, showed me how to get along
You know you did
Now I stand up straight and hold my head up high
I'm as proud as any man could be
See I've got everything that a man could want to have
Because of you and me, whoa oh
You're the only reason I'm living
I'm loving every minute with you, yes I am
You're the reason I'm living
And I owe it all to you, yeah
You're the only reason I'm living
Loving every minute with you
You're the reason I'm living
And I owe it all to you, yeah
Yes, I owe it
You know I owe it
Well, well, well, oh yeah, mmm.
I'm sitting here in Memphis,
Whiskey bottle in my hand, oh. I got to find a woman,
I'm only on a one-night stand,
I've got to kick away these blues,
Got to get on my rock and roll shoes,
I'm leaving in the morning,
I'm heading for the promised land.
Got to call a number,
A certain woman in town, yeah,
But when I got connected she told me
She was going to settle down, Oh baby, yeah.
I've got to kick away these blues,
Got to get on my rock and roll shoes,
I'm leaving in the morning,
I'm heading for the promised land,
Oh baby; look out over there.
Ever since I've been playing guitar in a band,
Ever since I been to St. Davida's school,
Every time I tried to play my winning hand,
I get a little closer but it's still the same old game.
Ma ma mama, I get a little closer to you baby, Seem like
you're all the same, I get a little closer to you,
still the same old game, Come on baby, I want to take you with me.
I've got to leave the city, I'm headed for the California sun,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, They say the girls are pretty
And pretty soon I'm going to get me one, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I've got to kick away these blues, Got to get on my
rock and roll shoes, I'm leaving in the morning,
I'm heading for the promised land, Lord knows I am.
Ever since I been playing guitar in a band, Ever since I've been
St. Davida's place, Every time I tried to play my winning hand,
I get a little closer but it's still the same old game
I had your picture, I had it there on the wall
It's been a long time, I didn't notice it fall
Just goes to show you, things get strange, there's nothin', nothin' I can do
You got your own life, I got mine, I still got feelings for you
And I wonder what you're thinking, does it ever seem right
Don't you know there's something missing, we don't have to fight
If you call me tonight
Chorus:
I'll be with you in a heartbeat, just whisper my name
And I'll be with you in a heartbeat, no questions, no blame
And I'll be with you in a heartbeat, just whisper my, just whisper my name
I got no answers, sometimes I just wanna shout
Which way to turn now, can't seem to figure this out
I haven't seen you in oh so long, nothin', nothin' seems to fade
Tried to forget you, but you won't go, ooh the memories we made
And I tried so hard to fight it, but it keeps comin' through
Ooh you were all I ever wanted, I'm waiting for you, if you wanted me too
chorus
(Solo)
And I wonder what you're thinking, does it ever seem right
Don't you know there's something missing, we don't have to fight
If you call me tonight
Like a pair of open wings you bind me
To a world I helped you build around me
Our gilded cage has turned into a prison cell
Like a dream when it dies becomes an empty shell
Untie the knot, the hold over me you got
Untie the knot, the hold over me you got
Like a slave who's bound in chains, a broken man
Like a pain no one could ever understand
That's the spark that lights the fire deep inside
As long as you ain't no blue in my sky
Untie the knot, the hold over me you got
Untie the knot, the hold over me that you got
Set me free from these chains
The time has come to rearrange our destiny
Untie the knot, the knot, untie the knot
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You drive me crazy, every little thing about you
Can't get you out of my head
And when I'm with you, nothing seems to really matter
And every word that you say
I know our names ain't carved in stone
But right now I can't leave you alone
Infatuation's taken hold on me
I can't let him go, I won't let him go
How long have I been waiting on love
Now that I've found you, I can't get enough
How long have I been waiting on love
I've been waiting for somebody like you
You know I've been waiting
I always wanted someone to believe in me
Someone to show me the way
You came along and shone light into my darkness
You know, it set me free
I know our names ain't carved in stone
But right now I can't leave you alone
Infatuation's taken hold on me
I can't let him go, I won't let him go
How long have I been waiting on love
Now that I've found you, I can't get enough
How long have I been waiting on love
I've been waiting for somebody like you
I've just got to let you know
Someone I wish to hold just to let my feelings show
Never gonna let this slip away
I'm asking you to stay, yeah, yeah
Now that I've found you, oh
How long have I been waiting on love
Now that I've found you, I can't get enough
How long have I been waiting on love
I've been waiting for somebody like you
Yeah, you know I've been waiting
You know I've been waiting for somebody just like you
I've been waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting for somebody just like you
For somebody, for somebody
I've been waiting, I've been waiting
Now that I've found you, I ain't gonna let you go
[Incomprehensible] for somebody, body, body, body
Body, body, body, body, body, body, body
Somebody just like you
I've been waiting for somebody
There's something about you that I can't let go
Your spell is unbroken and it hurts to know
And I can feel you, and I can touch you, your memories surround me
What about you, little darling, what about you
Living without you is a long hard climb
And just when I'm over it, I see a friend of mine
He said he saw you, and how he's sure you, you'd like us still together
What about you, little darling, what about you
What about you, little darling, what about you
They said that we were dreamers, chasing some illusion
Something came between us, and broke it all in two
(solo)
I can feel you, I can touch you, I want us back together
So what about you, little darling, what about you
What about you, little darling, what about you
What about, what about you babe, tell me, what about you
Don't go, I'm tellin' you baby
I'm a downhill ryder
Babe I ain't going down slow
I'm a downhill ryder
I get the urge that it's time to go
Take my cue from my old guitar
That I used to play
Underneath the moon and the stars
'Til the break of day
I'm a free flying glider
Got my head up in the clouds
I'm a free flying glider
I don't ever want to come down
Take my cue from the moon and the stars
That I used to play
Underneath with my old guitar
'Til the break of day, yeah
All across the nation
I can feel a vibration
Let it in your mind
Let it shine
Oh oh hey
Take my cue from the moon and the stars
That I used to play
Underneath with my old guitar
'Til the break of day
All across the nation
I can feel the vibration
Let it in your mind
It's going to shine, yes it's going to shine
Well I'm a downhill ryder
I'm a down, down, down, down, downhill ryder
Got the wind in my sails baby I'm a cool man
Down, down, down, downhill ryder
Mary, don't you weep no more
Mary, don't you weep no more
'Cause I got your letter today
Pack my bag and I'm on my way
So, don't you weep no more
Don't you weep no more
Now, dry your eyes, don't you shed no tear
The sun is rising, put away your fears
Well, I know I once done you wrong
I want to say, I'm sorry and I'm coming back home
So, don't you weep no more
Don't you weep no more
I hear your voice in the wind
And I feel your tears in the rain
Shadows of night are falling
Don't you recall your name
Well, I got your letter today
Pack my bag and I'm on my way
So, don't you weep no more
Don't you weep 'cause I got your letter today
Pack my bag and I'm on my way
So, don't you weep no more
Don't you weep no more
Baby, don't you weep no more
Mama, don't you weep no more
Yeah, I got your letter today
You know I'll pack my bag, I'm on my way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't you weep no more, baby
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to you
Baby, don't you weep, don't you weep no more
No no, don't you weep no more
Because I still love you, babe
That's the way it goes
I've been waiting for the perfect woman, to come and rescue me
Well there she is and I can almost touch her, oh, but I just can't speak
Whoo yeah
Chorus:
Sometimes that's just the way that it goes, some you win, some you lose
Sometimes that's just the way that it goes, there ain't much you can do
I've been dreamin' 'bout a '50 shevy, dry and red of gleaming chrome
Saved up my money and bought some beat up wagon, ooh but now I'm walking home
Don't you know -
(chorus)
They say that life's the luck to the draw, well I ain't had no cards
I only know that nothing's for sure, and the only luck's hard
(solo)
Cars and girls on an endless highway, the all american dream
Girl I'd better try, yeah try and find it, and it ain't what it seems
Don't you know -
(chorus) (repeats 2x)
I've heard the rumors, I hear one every night
They say that you've been cheatin' on me, I know they're not right
They don't really know you, they just don't understand
I know you wouldn't do that, wouldn't be so underhand
And still they say
"That girl, yeah the girl is playin' 'round again"
That girl, yeah they say, "I oughta know"
They say,"I haven't noticed, that you wanna be alone"
And sometimes no one's there when I answer the phone
They say, "You tell me stories about the places you go"
If there's somethin' you're not tellin' me, I've got the right to know
Yeah still they say
"That girl, yeah the girl is playin' 'round again"
That girl, yeah they say, "I oughta know"
I hear it every night
That girl, they say, "If I know what is good for me"
Hey that girl, they say that I should let her go
My friends are tellin' stories, about your goings on
I just wanna talk to you, babe, I've got to know what's goin' on
They don't really know you, they just don't understand
I know you wouldn't do it, you wouldn't be so underhand
Yeah still they say
"That girl, yeah the girl is playin' 'round again"
That girl, yeah they say, "I oughta know"
Hear it every night
That girl, then they say, "It's for the company"
That girl, I hear it everywhere I go
That girl, they say that I'm too blind to see
That girl, ooh it seems she can't say no
My, my, my, my
Well I finished fooling 'round with you, pretty mama
Finished fooling 'round with you
No more wasting my time baby, no more standing in line
And I'm a shiftin' on, back to where I once came from
Yeah, oh it's been a long
You know I heard it on the news and it gave me the blues
You know it ain't right, people are fighting every place I look
People uptight and everywhere
And I'm a shiftin' on, back to where I once came from, yeah
Ain't no lie, ain't it too bad mama?
Too bad I'm gonna cry
Movin' on, oh yeah, now ain't it too bad baby
Too bad I'm gonna cry, wait
Well I heard it on the news and it gave me the blues
You know it ain't right, people are fighting every place I look
People uptight and everywhere
That's why I'm shiftin' on, back to where I once came from
Lord I tell you no lie
Ain't it too bad mama, hey, too bad you're gonna cry
Too bad you're going to cry, too bad you're gonna cry
Too bad you're gonna cry baby, mm, ain't no lie, ha
Ah, ah, yeah
That's why I'm shiftin' on, back to where I belong
Yeah, hey, I've seen the Bad Lands
I've held a whirlwind in my hand
Slept in the center
Whiskey has washed away the sand, yeah
Gamblers who cheated and sheriffs who lied
The last thing they saw from the death that they died
Was my Smokin' 45, my smokin' 45
Ten thousand dollars, that's what I'm worth dead or alive
Six loaded chambers, ten men rode up not one survived
They got my name on the telegraph wire
Dead men's faces and a gun that's for hire
Gamblers who cheated and Sheriffs who lied
The last thing they saw from the death that they died
Was my smokin' 45, my smokin' 45, yeah
I'm riding south to the Mexico line
Posse behind me and they're making good time
Men with vendetta's, who shouldn't have tried
To reach for quick fame with a gun at their side
Against my smokin' 45, my smokin' 45, my smokin' 45
I'm talking about my smokin' 45
My smokin' 45, smokin' 45, smokin' 45
Gonna get you, can depend my friend
Gonna get you, dead or alive
Well, When I

Instead of sleep, how it looks instead
I'm a rhythm machine, you know what I mean
I'm a music man, I play the blues whenever I can
I'm a music man, I play the blues whenever I can
I get a flat back beat, instead of food when I eat
The ticking of a clock gets me out of my seat
I'm a music man, I play the blues whenever I can
I'm her cross cut saw before I was four
Smoked-staked lightning had me crawling across the floor
The beach ball didn't get me but that son-in-law did

I'm rhythm machine, he knows what I mean, oh

Sometimes I get a feeling,
Deep in my soul
Sometimes I get a feeling,
I just can't control
Sometimes I get a feeling,
It's such a feeling that I know we'll never part
Deep in my heart
She brings me love, love, I know it's all that I need.
[chorus]
-------------
Sometimes I get a feeling,
deep in my bones
Sometimes I get a feeling,
won't leave me alone
Sometimes I get a feeling,
It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide
Deep in......side
Seagull, you fly across the horizon
Into the misty mornin' sun
Nobody asks you where you are going
Nobody knows where you're from
Here is a man asking the question
Is this really the end of the world?
Seagull, you must have known for a long time
The shape of things to come
Now you fly, through the sky never asking why
And you fly all around 'til somebody, shoots you down, down
Seagull, you fly, across the horizon
Into the misty mornin' sun
Nobody asks you where you are going
Nobody knows where you're from
Now you fly through the sky, never asking why
And you fly all around 'til somebody, yeah
Shoots you down, yeah
Seagull you fly, seagull you fly away
And you fly away today
And you fly away tomorrow
And you fly away, leave me to my sorrow
Seagull go and fly
[Verse 1]
I once knew a nigga whose real name was William
his primary concern, was making a million
being the illest hustler, that the world ever seen
he used to fuck moviestars and sniff coke in his dreams
a corrupted young mind, at the age of thirteen
nigga never had a father and his mom was a feen
she put the pipe down, but forever yeah she was sober
her sons heart simultaneously grew colder
he started hanging out selling bags in the projects
checking the young chicks, looking for hit and run prospects
he was fascinated by material objects
but he understood money never bought respect
he build a reputation cause he could hustle and steal
but got locked once it didn't hesitate to squeal
so criminals he chilled with didn't think he was real
you see me and niggaz like this have never been equal
I dont project my insurecurity's at other people
he feeded for props like addicts with pipes and needles
so he felt he had to prove to everyone he was evil
a fever minded young man with infinite potetial
the product of a ghetto breed capatalistic mental
coincidentally dropped out of school to sell weed
dancing with the devil, smoked until his eyes would bleed
but he was sick of selling trees and gave in to his greed
[Hook]
Everyone trying to be trife never face the consequences
you propably only did a month for minor offences
ask a nigga doing life if he had another chance
but then again there's always the wicked at new and advanced
dance forever with the devil on a code cell block
but thats what happens when you rape, murder and sell rock
devils used to be gods, angels that fell from the top
there's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot
[Verse 2]
So Billy started robbing niggaz, anything he could do
he'd get his respect back, in the eyes of his crew
starting fights over little shit, up on the block
stepped up to selling mothers and brothers the crack rock
working overtime for making money for the crack spot
hit the jackpot and wanted to move up to cocaine
for filling the scarface fantasy stuck in his brain
tired of the block niggaz treating him the same
he wanted to be major like the cut throats and the thugs
but when he tried to step to 'em, niggaz showed him no love
they told him any motherfucking coward can sell drugs
any bitch nigga with a gun, can bust slugs
any nigga with a red shirt can front like a blood
even Puffy smoked the motherfucker up in a club
but only a real thug can stab someone till they die
standing in front of them, starring straight into their eyes
Billy realized that these men were well guarded
and they wanted to test him, before business started
suggested raping a bitch to prove he was cold hearted
so now he had a choice between going back to his life
or making money with made men, up in the cife
his dreams about cars and ice, made him agree
a hardcore nigga is all he ever wanted to be
and so he met them friday night at a quarter to three
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
They drove around the projects slow while it was raining
smoking blunts, drinking and joking for entertainment
untill they saw a woman on the street walking alone
three in the morning, coming back from work, on her way home
and so they quietly got out the car and followed her
walking through the projects, the darkness swallowed her
they wrapped her shirt around her head and knocked her onto the floor
this is it kid now you got your chance to be raw
so Billy oaked her up and grapped the chick by the hair
and dragged her into a lobby that had nobody there
she struggled hard but they forced her to go up the stairs
they got to the roof and then held her down on the ground
screaming shut the fuck up and stop moving around
the shirt covered her face, but she screamed the clouts
so Billy stomped on the bitch, until he broken her jaw
the dirty bastards knew exactly what they were doing
they kicked her until they cracked her ribs and she stopped moving
blood leaking through the cloth, she cried silently
and then they all proceeded to rape her violently
Billy was meant to go first, but each of them took a turn
ripping her up, and choking her until her throat burned
a broken jaw mumbled for god but they weren't concerned
when they were done and she was lying bloody, broken and broos
one of them niggaz pulled out a brand new twenty-two
they told him that she was a witness of what she'd gone through
and if he killed her he was guaranteed a spot in the crew
he thought about it for a minute, she was practicly dead
and so he leaned over and put the gun right to her head
[Sample from "Survival of the Fittest" by Mobb Deep]
I'm falling and I can't turn back
I'm falling and I can't turn back
[Verse 4]
Right before he pulled the trigger, and ended her life
he thought about the cold pain with the platinum and ice
and he felt strong standing along with his new brothers
cocked the gat to her head, and pulled back the shirt cover
but what he saw made him start the cringine studder
cuz he was starring into the eyes of his own mother
she looked back at him and cried, cause he had forsaken her
she cried more painfully, than when they were raping her
his whole world stopped, he couldn't even contiplate
his corruption had succesfully changed his fate
and he remembered how his mom used to come home late
working hard for nothing, cause now what was he worth
he turned away from the woman that had once given him birth
and crying out to the sky cause he was lonely and scared
but only the devil responded, cause god wasn't there
and right then he knew what it was to be empty and cold
and so he jumped off the roof and died with no soul
they say death take you to a better place but I doubt it
after that they killed his mother, and never spoke about it
and listen cause the story that I'm telling is true
cuz I was there with Billy Jacobs and I raped his mom to
and now the devil follows me everywhere that I go
infact I'm sure he's standing among one of you at my shows
and every street cypher listening to little thugs flowe
he could be standing right next to you, and you wouldn't know
the devil grows inside the hearts of the selvish and wicked
white, brown, yellow and black colored is not restricted
you have a self destructive destiny when your inflicted
and you'll be one of gods children and fell from the top
there's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot
so when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never
A story bout a street girl named Genius
Give herself a name thought it would bring her fame
Sang poetry and mime on the street corner line
Dancin to a maze of passers by
(chorus)
In her blue jeans and her painted face
She took your mind through time and space
If desire could bring you everything you wanted
She woulda had it all a long, long time ago
In her mind she was reflecting the society we live in
Thats enough to make a womans heart go cold
(chorus)
In her blue jeans and her painted face
She took your mind through time and space
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
La,la,la,la,la,la
La,la,la,la,la,la
La,la,la,la,la,la
(chorus)
In her blue jeans and her painted face
She took your mind through time and space
It was a big night and the audience was expected
And a ******* as she took the stage
And as she began to weave her magic
It was spellbound and under up in a ****
(chorus)
In her blue jeans and her painted face
She took your mind through time and space
I took a trip down to Old Mexico
I was lookin for some fun and laughter
I met a woman said gimme your money
And Ill show you everything your after
I was taken to a sleazy room
And she handed me a Mexican cocktail
When I woke up in the mornin light
I was a locked in the county jail
(chorus)
I was broke
I was busted
I was broke
I was busted
Paid the man some to set me free
And I headed for the borderline
Cross the frontier and I drove like the devil
Tryin to get back to the shack that was mine
Pull over son said the man with the gun
I believe your breakin the law
Open the trunk and my heart just sunk
I knew they gotta had it for sure
(chorus)
I was broke
I was busted
I was broke
I was busted
Guitar riff
(chorus)
I was broke
Mama mama I was busted
I was broke
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Mama, mama, mama, mama.mama,mama.mama

I AIN`T NEVER BEEN TO THE GHETTO IN MY LIFE BEFORE
BUT I CAN UNDERSTAND SOME WHITES DON`T HAVE IT TOO COOL EITHER
DON`T QUOTE ME IN SAYING EVERYBODY HAS A CHANCE TO DANCE
HAS A CHANCE TO ROMANCE A CHANCE TO DANCE
AND HAS A CHANCE TO DO ANYTHING THEY WANT TO DO
THERE AIN`T THERE AIN`T NO GOD THAT SAYS YOU CAN`T ENJOY YOUR LIFE
THERE AIN`T NO MASTER OF CEREMONY THAT CAN FILL YOUR LIFE
WITH WORRY AND STRIFE
(Written by Simon Kirke)
If I kissed you when you least expect it
And take you in my arms, just accept it
If I tell you you're what my life's about
When I call you up on the telephone
I'm only loving you out loud
And tell you that I'm feeling oh so alone
I wanna love you dear inside out(?)
I'm only loving you out loud
The times that we spent together
Are the best that I've ever known
No matter what the future may bring, baby
It's loving you from now on, oh baby
If I kissed you when you least expect it
And take you in my arms, just accept it
If I tell you you're what my life's about, yeah
I'm only loving you out loud
(thomas/ralphs)
Last night, you said you didn't know what you wanted
Baby that's all right, I can help you see this one through
I know you won't leave him, you think it's all wrong
Why don't you open your eyes
You're so unhappy but you keep hanging on, so trust me, baby and you'll see
Chorus:
It's never too late to change your mind - get out and take what you need
It's never too late, so take your time - you (just) gotta believe
One day, you'll look back and think you were crazy
There's no way, that's how it gets you sometimes
Right now, you can't let him go, there's something inside you
I won't tell you, you should know, it's so clear, baby, I'm right here
Chorus:
It's never too late to change your mind - get out and take what you need
It's never too late, so take your time - you (just) gotta believe
(solo)
One day, you'll come running to me, it's just a matter of time
I'm right here where you know that I'll be, so trust me and you'll see
Chorus repeats out...
It's never too late to change your mind - get out and take what you need

Lonely for Your Love
Whenever the day since been lonely

Just sixteen years old and I'm coming on strong
When she said, "Yes", my resistance was gone
So come with me hold on tight
Make it together, light up the night
'Cause it's love so strong
And her legs are too long
I don't care if it's wrong
If it's right no, no, right now
You might think that I'm just having my fun
It's so much more than just a hit and run
You've got to find the stick, yeah and my head it'll spin, yeah
If loving is wrong I'm guilty as sin
So come with me hold on tight
Make it together, light up the night
'Cause it's love so strong
And her legs are too long

If it's right no, no, right now, come on

Hello little Martha
There you stand with the stems of the roses still in your hand
The seasons of time
The weather, your face, you little Martha, there's no disgrace
So now little Martha, here you live
You're just 12 years old, have no time to play
The sun don't arise when you're not in my eyes
Not a day goes by without you
Even though you're looking down on me
Tell me angel, will you remember me?
Oh little Martha, as I stand at your feet
I see now that the circle is ought to complete
Now while I stand here feeling so sad
Because we both know the good times we had
So now little Martha, here you live
Your life is all gone, no time to play, oh
The sun don't arise when you're not in my eyes
Not a day goes by without you
Even though you're looking down on me
Tell me angel
The sun don't arise when you're not in my eyes
Not a day goes by without you
Even though you're looking down on me
Tell me angel, will you remember me?
Leaving You Lyrics
You loved me and you made me what I am today
You loved me and you gave in every single way
You loved me and you gave it all so tenderly
You loved me and I'm a telling you now on bended knee
I'm a leavin' you baby
Mmm yeah
I'm a leavin' you baby
I was dirty and you took me home and washed my face
I was nowhere and you gave me a home and a restin' place
I was nothing and you gave me something to live for
I was nowhere
I wanna tell you now like never before
I'm a leavin' you baby
I'm a leavin' you baby
Oh yeah
I was dirty and you took me home and washed my face
I was nowhere and you gave me a home and a restin' place
I was nothing, nothing and you gave me something to live for
I was nowhere
And I'm feelin' it now like never before
Mama I'm a leavin' you baby
I'm a leavin' you baby
I'm a leavin' you baby
Oh yeah
I'm a leavin' you baby, leavin' you baby, leavin' you baby leavin' you baby
Time and time await
Baby
I'm a leavin you before it's too late
I'm a leavin' you baby
Hey Hey
I'm a leavin' you baby
I can't stop the tears that you cry
I can't stop the tears that you cry
But I got to say good bye
Oh baby
I'm a leavin' you ma ma ma ma
Oh oh leavin' you baby
Oh darling be mine tonight
Wont you be my baby and treat me right
Oh darling you know you're my only love
Baby baby like the sun above
She got a heart of gold and something i call soul
She got everything i need ain't no flies on me
Oh baby won't you love me tonight
Oh baby i'm gonna treat you right
Take my hand and hold me tight
Take you in my arms and love you tonight
She got a heart of gold and something i call soul
She got everything i need ain't no flies on me
Baby when you wrote that letter
It went right to my heart
When i opened the envelope
I kew we were going to part
Oh-u-oh-u baby baby don't you treat me like a fool
Because baby baby i once went to school
Oh you know that i love you and i always will
I saw you 'cross the crowded room
You were lookin' my way
I don't believe in Lady Luck
Or what the cards portray
But I could see your shining light
And I'm in disarray
If I'm sleeping, don't wake me up
If I'm sleeping
If I'm sleeping, don't wake me up
If I'm sleeping
I thought I'd better break the ice
And started moving your way
I lost direction, the room got crowded
So I must have gone astray
I still don't know how it happened
There's only me to blame
If I'm sleeping, don't wake me up
If I'm sleeping
If I'm sleeping, don't wake me up
If I'm sleeping
I don't understand it
What is happening, what is happening?
It's not the way we planned it
What is happening? Take it away
I don't understand it
What is happening, what is happening?
It's not the way we planned it
What is happening? So take it away
If I'm sleeping, don't wake me up
If I'm sleeping
If I'm sleeping, don't wake me up
If I'm sleeping
If I'm sleeping, don't wake me up
If I'm sleeping, leave me alone
If I'm sleeping, if I'm sleeping
Everybody wants a little piece of my time
But still I put you at the end of the line
How it breaks my heart to cause you this pain
To see the tears you cry falling like rain
Give me the chance to prove
And I'll make it up to you
I still believe in you
With a love that will always be, yeah
Standing so strong and true
Baby, I still believe in you and me
You know I believe in you, baby
Somewhere along the way, I guess I lost my track
Only thinking of myself, never looking back
For all the times I hurt you, I apologize
I'm sorry it took so long to finally realize
Give me the chance to prove
That nothing's worth losing you
I still believe in you
With a love that will always be, yeah
Standing so strong and true
Baby, I still believe in you and me
You see, I believe in you, baby
I believe in you, I still believe
I still believe in you
With a love that will always be, yeah
Standing so strong and true
Baby, I still believe in, I still believe in you
I still believe in you
With a love that will always be
Standing so strong and true
Baby, I still believe in you and me
I still believe in you
With a love that will always be, yeah
Standing so strong and true
Baby, I still believe in you and me
Baby, I believe in you
Won't you believe in me too?

joe fabulous
and we are the merchants of cool
thats all
bye bye everybody
We had it so good, I thought we had it so right
When I came home early one morning
And another man's arms were holding you tight
Now a young girl cries herself to sleep
'Cause her daddy ran away
And she doesn't know when she'll see him again
She's living from day to day
Is that all there is to love?
She finally turns and walk away
Is that all there is to love?
And face a little more everyday
I can still remember lying in my mother's arms
How it makes me feel so good
Now all it is, is a memory
'Cause it make me feel just like a child should
Now an old man sits by the telephone
Faded photos on the wall
You see his wife died ten long years ago
And his children never seemed to call
Is that all there is to love?
And she finally turn and walk away
Is that all there is to love?
And face a little more everyday
Well, no, no, no, no, no
Is that all there is to love?
That's all there is to love
I guess that's all there is
I recall in '82
There was only me to talk to
I was in my lonely world
And then I found someone to walk to
I remember every second of every day
But there was something not right
And as day leads to night
Over and over again
Well it seems so long ago
That there were two of us together
But it seems that love don't last
And now it's true of us forever
If only life would go the way that you want it to
Oh, but the feeling inside, and I know I can't hide
Is starting all over again, and baby, you know
You got a hold on my heart
You got a hold on my heart
You know it gets stronger
The longer you keep us apart
Oh, you got a hold on my heart
A serious hold on my heart
I try to deny it
But baby, that's the hardest part
When I look back on those days
It's just a memory forever
If only life would go the way that you want it to
But when I get this feelin' inside, I know I can't hide
It's starting all over again
You got a hold on my heart
Yeah, you got a hold on my heart
You know it gets stronger
The longer you keep us apart
Oh, you got a hold on my heart
A serious hold on my heart
I try to deny it
But baby, that's the hardest part
Yeah, you got a hold on my heart
Well, the first time that I met you, you were only 17
But I had to put you down 'cause I didn't know where you'd been
You had a long black dress, your hair in a mess
You didn't seem to have no class
But the look on your face was no disgrace
I knew I had to move real fast
Honey child, don't you know you drive me wild
Oh, honey child, don't you know you drive me wild
Just about to lose my mind
Well, the second time that I met you, you were just turned 21
And all your talk about love, love, was gone, long gone
Oh, honey child, don't you know you drive me wild
Honey child, don't you know you drive me wild
Just about to lose my mind, yeah
Oh, honey child, don't you know you drive me wild
Honey child, don't you know you drive me wild
Honey child, don't you know you drive me wild
Oh yeah, honey child, don't you know you drive me wild
Honey child, don't you know you drive me wild
Honey child, don't you know you drive me wild, yeah yeah
In my life, there's been changes
But nothing seems to satisfy me
the way you do, no
You make it easy, the way you please me
everytime I'm close to you
All this temptation, I can't see wrong from right
It's a new sensation, you know I'm blinded by the light
(chorus)
(feels like) I'm walking on holy water
Feels like I'm walking on sacred ground, baby
(feels like) I'm walking on holy water
everytime that you come 'round
You were all I ever wanted,
never had a girl in my life
'til I met you, oh, no
I got a certain feeling,
you got my senses reeling
Whenever I get close to you
You're my salvation, I found you just in time
My one temptation, you know I can't believe you're mine
(chorus)
Ooh yeah, it's funny how it seems like yesterday, lovin' of the first degree
One word was all I heard you say, ooh baby
It's funny what you've done to me
just wanna see you run to me
(instrumental)
All this temptation, I can't see wrong from right
It's a new sensation, you know I'm blinded by the light
If I hear you knocking hard up on my door
Ain't no way that I'm gonna answer it
'Cos cheating is one thing and lying is another
And when I say it's over that's it I'm gonna quit, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now I ain't complaining, just tryin' to understand
What makes a woman do the things she does
One day she'll love you, the next day she'll leave you
Why can't we have it just the way it used to be?
Why can't we have it baby?
'Cos I'm a man, I got my pride
I don't need no woman to hurt me inside
I need a love like any other, yeah
So go on and leave me, leave me for another
Good lovin' gone bad
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Good lovin' gone bad, bad, bad
Good lovin' gone bad, yeah
Baby I'm a bad man, oh no
Oh yes, yes indeed, indeed I am
Now I'm a man, I got my pride
Don't need no woman to hurt me inside
I need a love like any other
So go on and leave me, leave me for another
Good lovin' gone bad
It's gonna say
Good lovin' gone bad
Love, love, love
Good lovin' gone bad
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And baby I'm a bad man
Good lovin' gone bad
What I wanna say
Good lovin' gone bad
Good lovin', good lovin' gone bad
Baby I'm a bad man
Good lovin' gone bad
Good lovin' gone bad
Good lovin' gone bad
I'm a sad man, don't stand in my way
Ain't it funny, time goes by, you forget about your pain,
Find yourself, with someone else, fall in love again.
Ain't it good, so good, you and me, against the world
Ain't it good, so good, it's plain to see, it's you and me baby.
Spend your life, wasting time, always chasing something.
I found out what it's all about, I got my love for certain.

Hear what I say
I don't wanna lose myself in love again
But my heartbeat keeps on hammering
I met a little cuttie back in '66
She used to tie you up and beat you with a walking stick
I said, "Mama call a doctor you must be sick"
She told me that's the only way I get my kicks
I don't wanna lose myself in love again
But my heartbeat keeps on hammering
I been around the world about a time and again
I met a little chick in an opium den
She put a spell on me that'd freeze a man
I said, "Help me, save me" but she did it again
I don't wanna lose myself in love again
But my heartbeat keeps on hammering
I met a little lady just yesterday
Lord she loves me in a special way
She put coffee in my tea and she love to say
I wanna hold you, I wanna keep you baby now don't be afraid
I don't wanna lose myself in love again
But my heartbeat keeps on hammering, yeah
I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose myself in love again, no no, no no
I don't wanna lose myself in love again
But my heartbeat, yes my beatin' heart
I was a young man,
When the hammer came down,
Thought I could handle it,
Wouldn't do me no harm.
She was a young girl,
Stars in her hair,
Rings on her finger tips,
A diamond so rare.
Hammer came down from above,
Hammer, Hammer of love.
Oho, won't you save me.
She was a young girl,
With dangerous ways,
The tears of a demon,
Kissed by a saint.
Hammer came down from above,
Oh, Hammer, Hammer of love.
Oho, yeah.
Though you pound this bitter heart,
Down to a molten steel,
Cast it in the furnace,
Of your burning spinning wheel,
I will rise up through the flames,
To wrap you in my arms,
Brand you with my loving seal
And steal your tender charms.
Oh, yeah.
The scent of our loving,
Woke my desire,
She stirred my smouldering heart,
Left me on fire.
Oh, Hammer down from above,
Oh, Hammer, Hammer of love.
Hammer, how you saved me
Hammer, how you saved me
Saved my soul.
Hear me calling you,
Through the misty morning,
Mountain and Valley,
Fading colours, changing sounds
Shades of night come tumbling down
Bring tomorrow like yesterday
Fade away
Here I am, a wayward man
Following the light to a distant land
Come tomorrow, without yesterday
Fade away
High adventure I just begun
Fame and fortune got me on the run
Break off the way
Fade away, yeah
Oh yes I am a wayward man
Following the light to a distant land
Come tomorrow, without yesterday
Fade away

All your fame and your fortune, you better take a look around
With your fame and your fortune, careful who you talk to
Or the fame and your fortune, watch it all tumble down, yeah, oh listen now
Now you're lookin' for inspiration, somethin' to say
When you find that it don't come easy, you find them running away
You had it all in the palm of your hand, and let it slip away
You made it big, ooh so big, and then you threw it all away
All your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
Fame and your fortune, hey you better take another look
At your fame and your fortune, it set you up, then it caught you
Fame and your fortune, surely gonna let you down, hey tell me now

All your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
Take your fame and your fortune, wait and take a look around
For your fame and your fortune, who do you talk to
'bout your fame and your fortune, as it all comes tumbling down
Fame and your fortune, fame and your fortune, yes all come tumbling down
Ten thousand miles I've traveled
Ten thousand miles an' more
Now I found myself standing
Outside of my baby's door
I've been gone such a long time
I never thought I would return
Now I found myself standing in the rain
Waiting for your key to turn, yeah, yeah
Evil wind passed me by
Troubled waters, pay me no mind
I have heard the thunder
Rolling across the sky
I have seen the morning sun
Burn on a mountain high
I have crossed the waters
That will keep them miles apart
Now I know the time has come
To make a brand new start
Evil wind passed me by
Troubled waters, pay me no mind, yeah
Fly plane, I'm coming home again
Plane fly, like an eagle through the sky
Evil wind, troubled water
Pay me no mind, pay me no mind, oh
Oh yeah
Evil wind, passed me by
Well, I'm deep down

The wind was howling outside my door

Came out of nowhere, out of the night
So cold and nasty, it was so right
It had to be so easy
Been down that road before, yeah
Down and dirty, baby, she's down and dirty
Listen
My heart was pounding, head in a spin
Spellbound and wicked for in a sin
I had no warning about her kind
It did not matter, babe, she did not mind
How could it be so easy
I did not see her lies
Down and dirty, baby, she's down and dirty
She'll take your money, down and dirty
She'll steal your heart away
She'll show no mercy, down and dirty
Too bad I had to stay
Oh no no, no

She'll steal your heart away, yeah
She'll show no mercy, baby (Down and dirty)
Too bad I had to stay
Yeah
Down and dirty, yeah
Got to be so blind
If I had a love that was so true
Then I wouldn`t have to make do
With the half a love that I have found
That is tearin' me down to the ground
Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, tell me love can be found
If I had a love that was so real
And who would know the way I feel
I want all your love today
Just to keep me from fading away
Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, tell me love can be found

Do right by your woman, she'll do right by you

Changed my mind about wasting my time
Spending money and drinking wine
Do right by your woman, she'll do right by you
Do right by your woman, she'll do right by you
Well you always gave me loving, though I treated you so bad
I was changing my mind, wasting my time
Spending money and drinking wine

I need love, the kind of love I've never know before
You'll need it too the kind that makes you feel so good
I want to give, give you all the love you need
Well, I'm a loner, baby and that's the way I want to be
As the sun climbs across the sky above
So your smile fill me with a stronger love
Just you and I, baby watchin' the morning sky
Somehow I know it's time for me to say goodbye
Here's why
I cant make a deal with the preacher
And I can't make a bargain with heaven
Angel you came to my window
Angel you came to my door
I was a fool when I let you in
I sure ain't no fool any more
As the sun climbs across the sky above
So your smile fill me with a stronger love
Just you and I, baby watchin' the morning sky
Somehow I now it's time for me to say goodbye
Now let me say
I can't make a deal with the preacher, baby, oh yeah
And I can't make a bargain with heaven
Heaven knows me right now
I can't make a deal, oh no
I can't make a deal, make a deal
Make a deal, make a deal, make a deal
Make a deal, make a deal, make a deal
I can't make a deal, make a deal
Make a deal, make a deal, make a deal
Make a deal
Every night as I sit on my own, I still think I can hear you
I can't stand all this being alone, I just gotta be near you
I don't know if you're coming back, sometimes I could scream
But every night I know I'll see you, you still live in my dreams
In the dead of the night, when everybody's sleeping
Oh, that is the time when you come around
You left and my world fell apart, and I was desperate to find you
I want you back but where do I start, I need help to remind you
I don't know if you'll ever remember, when love reigned supreme
The only time that I get to see you now, is here in my dreams
In the dead of the night, when everybody's sleeping
Oh, that is the time when you come around
Oh babe, when you come back, and put an end to this pain
Meantime if I close my eyes, I'll see you again
In the dead of the night, when everybody's sleeping
Life is like a merry go round
Painted horses riding up and down
Music takes you and you're gone again
Crazy circles never seem to end
Oh, I will face the sun
Leavin' shadows for behind
And together we'll go on
Through time, oh yeah
Life is just a game of chance
Some find riches and some romance
Some find happiness and some find sorrow
Some find it today and some maybe tomorrow
Oh, I will face the sun
Leavin' shadows for behind
And together we'll go on
Through time, oh yeah
Life is like a carousel you aim for heaven
And you wind up in hell
To all the world you're livin' like a king
But you're just a puppet on a broken string
Oh, I will face the sun
Leavin' shadows for behind
And together we'll go on
Through time, oh yeah
Life is like, mmm and the life is like mmm
Crazy circles goin' round and round
Crazy circles round and round and round
One day you're up and the next day you're down
From Bad Company album
Well I take whatever I want
And baby I want you

Bobby's going out tonight, looking for trouble
Everybody likes to fight sometimes
Heading south on 41, straight for the action
Meeting the boys at the county line
He kicks it into overdrive, really puts that pedal down
Feels so good to be alive, he's had enough of being pushed around
Bobby and the boys walk in, the heads start turning
They don't like no strangers in this place, no no
Everybody's acting tough, words get spoken
And someone pulls a knife in Bobby's face
He turns away but it's too late, he's gotta face them on his own
Left him there to meet his fate, Bobby's never going home
Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty
Life gets rough, when you're living on a fine line
Mary's waiting home tonight, she's dreaming of church bells
Bobby says the day is getting near
Mary hears the doorbell ring, the blue lights are flashing
At 2 a.m. her dreams all disappear
Mary's world is turning upside down, she's been left here on her own
Her world is spinning 'round and 'round, Bobby's never coming home
Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty
Life gets rough, when you're living on a fine line
He said that soon their lives would be as one
Looks like you're gonna be the lonely one
Maybe in a year or two, she'll find someone of her own
Mary don't you wait around, Bobby's never coming home
Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty
Life gets rough, when you're living on a fine line
Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty
I got a sweet little angel and I love her so
She's there when I need her, she understands when I say go
In the night, when she says "Hold me", it makes me feel so strong
Living with her unfolds me, she gives me strength to carry on
I don't need anyone else
If I did I would be fooling myself
Anna, Anna
And I know if she left me, my world would turn cold
She's the best liitle lady that a man could ever hold
When I'm down, she knows what to say
She clears my blindness away
And in the night, she says "Hold me", it makes me feel so strong
I don't need nobody else
If I did I would be fooling myself
Anna, Anna
I found me a simple woman, yeah yeah
A simple woman
I have found me a simple woman, oooh yeah
A simple woman for a simple man
I found me a simple woman,
(kirke)
Hey little girl, I love you so
I'd walk a hundred miles to let you know
Hey little baby, your eyes sure shine
When your hand reaches out and touches mine
'cos you're my baby, you're my baby, my little girl
Hey little girl, let me kiss your lips
Let me feel you thrill to my fingertips
Hey little baby, let me take your hand
Let me lead you to the promised land
'cos you're my baby, you're my baby, my little girl
Hey little girl, I love you so
I'd walk a hundred miles to let you know
Hey little girl, I love you so
Who is that band there been raving about?
Who is that band selling all the girls out?
Theyve turned the music busness inside out
What is their name? Its on the tip of my tongue
You know the ones you must have heard the song
Its played a rakett all day long
The critics acclaimedem said you boys are the end
Youre gonna take over from our last weeks trends
Youre gonna be huge once your advance to spend
Sonny watch your money cause now baby youre in rockn roll
Well nobodys has heardem till an hour ago
Well now theyre livin out on Malibu Beach
They got luxury homes and toilets with phones
But a knighthood is still out of reach
It cant be bad Ive heard the woman are rife
Hope they aint dump though and get sued by a wife
And end up paying for the rest of their life
Sonny watch your money cause now baby youre in rockn roll
Sonny watch your money cause now baby youre in rockn roll
