Manay Po tells the story of Luz, a small time jeweler who dreams of making it big so as to provide a better life for her family. Her life revolves around her brood of three, namely, Oscar, Orson and Orwell and her live-in boyfriend Gerry. With the help of her good friend and maid Maritess, Luz was able to raise her children normally despite the absence of a husband. Or so she thought.. Oscar is a rising architect from a major firm and is betrothed to be married to his girlfriend of five years Pauleen. Unknown to Luz and everyone else, Oscar is a closet homosexual and is keeping his relationship with engineer best friend Adrian Pengson a secret. Orson, on the other hand, is openly gay, much to Oscar's discomfort. He is fun-loving, sweet and engaged in numerous extracurricular activities in school. His one true love is his best friend Marky, whom he always tries to impress by lavishing him with affection. Then there's Orwell - a young teener who is at crossroads with regard to his sexuality. Due to his confusion, Orwell pretty much keeps to himself. As such, Luz and his two brothers are clueless about his real identity. In spite of her children's questionable sexualities, their family paints a picture of a happy family - a home filled with laughter and unconditional love. Then one day, a family crisis involving stolen jewelry jolts Luz out of her seemingly perfect existence. She decides to keep it a secret from her children, wanting to shield them from any form of worry. With Gerry's help, Luz tries her best to keep the semblance of normalcy within the household and at the same time keeping the family together. In the end, revelations come tumbling one after the other and Luz finds herself faced with a decision that will shape the future of her family.

Do I ever cross your mind darling
Do you ever see
Some situation somewhere somehow
Triggers your memory
And do you ever wonder
What became of all the time
And darling, do I ever cross your mind
Do you ever want to know
If all dreams go on endlessly
Or do they just run down somehow
Gradually become the custody
Or that melancholy jaded by the time
And darling, do I ever, ever cross your mind
CHORUS:
Do I ever cross your mind
When you're lonely
Or does that only happen to me
Darling don'tcha ever wonder
What became of all the time
And darling, do I ever, ever cross your mind
Chorus
I can't wait 'till I see you baby
I can't wait 'till the night comes falling down
I gotta see you again
And even if it couldn't be forever
I'd trade a lifetime for this night together
Hold on hold on
CHORUS:
My heart is burning with the heat of this
Emotional fire
Every time I see you
I'm on fire, every time we touch
Can't you feel me burning with desire
Baby feel the warm, give me some
Emotional fire
Emotional fire¡
There's a feeling when I'm here beside you
Couldn't leave you and I wouldn't try to
Baby, I only need you again
There ain't nothing that can break this fever
The love gets stronger, and the passion deeper
Hold on hold on
I can't let go, 'cause there's no stopping this
Emotional fire
Every time I see you
I'm on fire, every time we touch
Can't you feel me burning with desire
Baby feel the warm, give me some
Emotional fire
Emotional fire¡
I can't wait until I see you baby
I can't wait 'till the night comes falling
Hold on hold on
Chorus
I know we can make it baby
If only we try
Let's hang on to love
And don't let it die
Even though
CHORUS:
It's been touch and go
Off and on
Weak and strong
But then we didn't know
That with hope, we could cope
With all the ups and downs
So please stay around
I need you so
I'd give you a bed of roses
Right here in my arms
But you got to take
The sweet with the thorns
And I know
Chorus x 3 fade
I found the boy for me
He's my dream baby
He doesn't know that I
That I almost die when
When he walks by says hello
He's unlike the guys in books, he's
Not really great on looks, but
But I don't care, I love him so
CHORUS:
And I feel so good whenever he's around
Feel so good when he's around
Wo oh oh oh, I dream of him each night, I
Dream that he holds me tight
Somehow make that dream come true
I'm gonna pray for the
Pray for the day he says
Hey, pretty baby, I love you
(1st 2 lines of chorus)
(instrumental)
(repeat chorus minus the starting And I )
I'm gonna pray for the
Pray for the day he says
Baby, I love you
(repeat fade):
Wo oh oh, wo oh oh, I love you
I'll send away all my false pride
And I'll forsake all of my life
Yes I'll be as true as true can be
If you'll come and stay with me
All lovers of the past, I'll leave behind
They'll never be another on my mind
I'll do all I can so you'll feel free
If you'll come and stay with me
The promise I made most faithfully
I'll keep still if you decide to leave
I'll try and see that you have all you need
If you'll come and stay with me
Yes I'll be as true as true can be
If you'll come and stay with me
Live a life no others have ever known
But I know you think that I'm hardly grown
Oh thank God at last and finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me
I can see you're gonna stay with me
What'll I do, when you are far away
And I'm so blue what'll I do
What'll I do when I am wondering
Who is kissing you
What'll I do
What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to
When I am alone
With all the dreams of you
That won't come true
What will I do
What'll I do when you are far away
And I am blue what'll I do
Won'tcha let me rock and roll you baby
I haven't seen you in a long, long time
I haven't fooled around with any candles lately
Just thought you might have some music in mind
CHORUS:
Ah I just want to serenade you
Maybe we could even live a verse or two
And I could finish this ole love song
So I could start singing it to you
I could start singing it to you
If I could finish this ole love song
And I could start singing it to you
Won't you come and boogie-woogie with me baby
It's been a while since I held you close to me
I haven't met many boys like you baby
Knew I would find you eventually
Chorus
It's not unusual to be love by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
When I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry
I wanna die
It's not unusual to go out at anytime
When I see you out and about it's such a crime
If you should ever want to be love by anyone
It's not unusual it happens every day
No matter what you say
You'll find it's happens all the time
Love will never do whatcha you want it to
Why can't this crazy love be mine
It's not unusual to be mad at anyone
It's not unusual to be sad with anyone
But if I ever find that you have changed at anytime
It's not unusual to find out I'm in love with you
When you find out where you're goin'
Let me know
Cause I love you just enough
To let you go
While you're running free and clear
Please don't disappear
When you find out where you're goin'
Let me know
When you find out where you're goin'
Count me in
And I'll never put you down
For where you been
And I'll join you when you find
That peace within your mind
When you find out where you're goin'
Let me know
I'm letting go for one night
And I know we'll be all right
Though he may never come back
When he leaves my bed tonight
When you find out where you're goin'
Let me know
And I promise I won't say I told you so
And when the time comes that you say
You finally found your way
Then no matter where you are
Be sure I know
Then no matter where you are
Be sure I know
The road is long, with many a winding turns
That leads us to who knows where,
Who know where
But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go, his welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bare, we'll get there
For I know he would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart isn't filled with gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road from which there is no return
While we're on our way to there, why not share
And the load, it doesn't weigh me down at all
He's my brother, he's my brother
I won't waste your time
By pretending I am something else
You got eyes to see
I live a modesty of someone else
I'm reading your mind
I know what you like
I peeped into your fanstasies
CHORUS:
It works every time
I'm confident
I can take you
I can take you anytime
I paralyze
Body and soul are immobilize
Honey if it's green
Like a dollar bill
Don't get caught up
In a power of a win
Earth is gonna shake
Watch me elevate your expectations
Oh why is this happening
You'll be furthering your education
I think it all out
I know what to say
To get you on my side
Chorus
Got a way of
Got a way of
Getting what I want
Got a way of
Got a way of
Getting what I want
Got a way of
Got a way of
Getting what I want
Got a way of
Got a way of
Getting what I want
Chorus
Better watch your step
I paralyze
Body and soul are immobilize
I can see you are a man
Who'll never quit
I'm so glad
Cause I think
I'm gonna like it
When the love is gone
There is nothing you can do
But feel the pain
If only I could only feel
The freedom that I gain
I could be happy then
And start again
When the love is gone
Instead of feeling sorry, feeling strong
If I could put it all behind were it belongs
And find that long lost friend and myself again
CHORUS:
When the love is gone
And the memories tag along
When you know that you gotta go on
Yes you gotta be strong
When the love is gone
There's no shoulder to cry upon
You gotta hold your head on high
When it says goodbye
When the love is gone
There's no one in the wings
To take you home
But there's a strength one gets
When going it alone
To make you wiser when it comes again
Chorus
And the moon remains me of your love
And the rain remains me of you love
Sit and watch the sun go down
It's you I'm thinking of
But I won't run back for all the stars above
No
Chorus
In the book of love come of age
When you lose your love, you turn the page
Hey-ho the book of love,
Life is written in your own blood
Say forever and it all sounds fine
When you're holding hands,
With the hands of time
Hey-ho the book of love
Laugh at the dead but tomorrow you cry
CHORUS:
My broken hearts from A to Z
Do's and don'ts on bended knees
Change of lovers endlessly
And this book of love is writing me
Chapter 2 you walk away
But in chapter 3 a man made me stay
Hey-ho the book of love
Why don'tcha look up
All the games you played
Chorus
They'll be sweet love in a darkness
But the book of love
Is a story of your loneliness
Finger tipped it on a holy night
And a page is ripped for a name of life
Check the back cause the date'll be due
When they'll throw the book of love at you
They are broken hearts from A to Z
Do's and don'ts on bended knees
Disappointed right to be
Celebrate a celebrity
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Ah stupid cupid set me free
Took a look and what'll I see
This book of love is writing me
This book of love is writing me
This book of love is writing me
This book of love is writing me
Baby ain't been coming around no
As much as he used to
If there's something going down
That I better know
Cause I don't wanna lose him
Must have something to tell me
I'm not sure I wanna know
Sooner or later
That it's one thing I'll have to know
CHORUS:
Say what's on your mind
Tell me whatcha you got
Baby do you want me or not
Don't be so unkind
By putting me on the spot
Baby do you want me or not
Now I'm coming on over
Just to talk to you face to face
I may not be sober
But who in this case
Don't you think I got the right to know
If your loving is true
I don't mean to spook or excite you
What should I do
Chorus
What's come over you
What in the world
Are you trying to do to me baby
Feel something, say something baby
We're taking about
Chorus x 2
Rudy toot, it's been a long time
Since we said goodbye
Last night Tina made me think of you
Don't you ask me why
When I heard that you were coming
My head was spinning
My heart was pumping
You're not mine
No you're not mine
CHORUS:
Rudy toot, do you remember
All the nights we shared together
Rudy you're still always on my mind
Rudy if you find you're lonely
I will be your one and only
Rudy you're still always on my mind
Rudy you know you heard me crying
But you paid me no attention
All alone I was calling your name
But you left me in suspension
You know the love that you had taken
My world was shakin'
My heart was breaking
You're not mine
No you're not mine
Chorus x 3 (fade)
I remember every word you said
We can't go on this way
Should I go or stay
But I've given you everything
That one woman could give a man
So when you gonna recognize and realize
What we had
(Now tell me)
Who you gonna believe, her or me?
What's it gonna be, Who you gonna believe?
Before your heart shatters, love is all that matters
You put me through that lover's game over and over
Someday someone's gonna put you through the same
Lover to lover, I hope you don't find out too late
I hope you never have to feel the pain
'Cause if you lose the love you took for granted
That you could never appreciate
Who you gonna believe, her or me?
Who's it gonna be, who you gonna believe?
Before you make up your mind
You better take some time
What about me, don't you think I need a man here
Standing by my side
And what about you, you need a woman to hold you
Through those cold and lonely nights
Oh, what about us, we belong together for ever and ever.
Oh, I'll be there if you should ever need me
Oh, I know everything will work out fine, just believe
Oh, I know cause we've been through this a million times
Keep on believing well I hope you don't find out too late
Hope you never have to feel the pain
Cause if you lose the love you took for granted
That you could never appreciate, after all this time
Who you gonna believe, her or me?
Who's it gonna be, who you gonna believe?
Who are you fooling
Well you're not fooling me no
Who you gonna believe, you can risk it all
With someone else's world
Wondering if it's love
Baby oh baby, you should know by now
You can believe in me
You can cover your eyes
And hide behind walls
You've built around you
You can run for your life
Anytime there's a chance of
Someone breaking through
But sooner or later it comes to us all
And even the strongest must fall
CHORUS:
When love calls your name
There's no saying no
You follow your heart wherever it goes
To the ends of the earth
For the rest of your days
Whatever it takes yeah you'll find a way
Through fire and rain
When love calls your name
Now I see a light
And it keeps getting brighter
And shows me the way
And it's there in your eyes
Pulling me closer everyday
After all of this time
The tables have turned
Yes, I'm finally ready to learn
Chorus
You do what you must
You take it on faith
You take it on trust
You're out of control
And all that you know
Your world's not the same
When love calls your name
Chorus
When love calls your name
So many people
Need to go so many miles
How do we move them
To where the answer lies
Reach out to the ocean
Beyond the stars that shine
We've got to take one small step in time
If we are the dreamers
Then the world must be the dream
Driven to question
All the things we've never seen
We search the horizon
Looking for a sign
We've got to take one small step in time
One step beyond
All our hopes and our passion
There is the light of the universe flashin'
All that it takes is one leap of faith
One small step, (one small step)
One small step in time
Deep in the darkness
(Deep in the blackness)
There's a wind that never dies
(There's a wind that never dies)
Out in the vastness
(Out in the vastness)
There's a road across the sky
(A road across the sky)
Out there is the reason
That we were meant to find
We've got to take one small step in time
We've got to take one small step in time
(One small step, one small step)
One small step in time
(One small step, one small step)
One small step in time
(One small step, one small step)
One day I'll stop breathing
My heart will stop beating
I won't see your face again
This flesh and blood is weak
And life isn't ours to keep
Sometime it has to end
In time even memories fade away
With time you might live
To forgive and forget
The mistakes that I made
CHORUS:
I broke some promises
Sometimes I lied to you
But one thing will always be true
I'll never stop loving you
Fall from your grace
You'll never be replaced
God knows how hard I've tried
But it just ain't no use
I thought I could shake you loose
I'm still torn up inside
In time even memories fade away
With time you might live
To forgive and forget
The mistakes that I made
Chorus x 2
I can't figure you out
But a heart must be the one thing
You were born without
I've been wastin' my time
I don't know where I'll sleep tonight
You say that you can do without me
Go ahead now try and live without me
Baby save up all your tears
You might need them someday
When the tears start to fall
I won't wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby save up your tears
'Cause you'll be cryin' over me
You got used to my touch
I got used to not, not feelin' much
Winter set in your eyes
Time will melt your castle of ice
You think that you won't feel the pain now
But your eyes will be cryin' like the rain now
Baby save up all your tears
You might need them someday
When the tears start to fall
I won't wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby save up your tears
'Cause you'll be cryin' over me
You'll be cryin' over me
You don't know it now, you don't know it now
You don't know it now, you don't know it now
You don't know it now
But some wounds get deeper with time
You don't feel it now
Till the need burns, a knife turns
Your heart bleeds like mine
Baby save up all your tears
You might need them someday
When the tears start to fall
I won't wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby save up your tears
'Cause you'll be cryin' over me
Baby save up all your tears
You might need them someday
When the tears start to fall
I won't wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby save up your tears
'Cause you'll be cryin' over me
You'll be cryin' over me
'Cause you'll be cryin' over me
You'll be cryin' over me
(You'll be cryin' over me)
(You don't know it now)
(You don't know it now)
(You don't know it now)
You'll be cryin' over me
(You don't know it now)
(You'll be cryin' over me)
(You don't feel it now)
(You don't feel it now)
You don't feel it now
You'll be cryin' over me
(You don't know it now)
(You don't know it now)
A world without heroes
Is like a world without sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes
And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
It's like a time, without a place
A pontless thing
Devoid of grace
CHORUS:
Where you don't know
What you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why
You don't know
In a world without heroes
In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
A world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing
Chorus x 5
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Everywhere I look I see rain. . .
Why am I here if you're there
So far away it's not fair
To be without you - like this
I miss you more than you know
The nights are long, The days slow
Without the warmth of your kiss
Wish you were back here with me
Cause out my window, All I see is
Rain, Rain in the sky
Everywhere I look my eyes see
Rain, rain fallin' down
Crying as it hits the ground
Rain, rain in my heart
Every day that we're apart
Rain, Rain
Falling rain, rain
Only rain, rain
The sun is strong when you're near
But when you're gone it disappears
Behind an ocean of blue
The telephone's not good enough
It can't reach out, it can't touch me
The way that you do
Wish you would knock at my door
Cause only you - can stop the pouring
Maybe I'll go outside
And walk beneath the clouds
Pretend it's you that's watching over me
This isn't the only thing that come's between us now
Every morning I would wake up
And I'd tie the sun around a cup
And I felt your love higher than the sky
No one in this world but you and I
Had tasted love so sweet
You held me softer than the rain
Mi amore my love never dies
Mi amore look into my eyes
We had a love so high
I could never walk away
A love so high
I could reach out and touch the sky
Tell me why
I said a little prayer for you and I
A love so high
Now I wake up in the middle of the night
Your face in front of me
Like a candle burning brighter than the flame
And I see everything inside your eyes
Your smiles your touch your alibis
And I wish that I could be with me all night
Mi amore I wish that I could fly
Mi amore look into my eyes
Tell me why
I can't see you anymore
Time's ticking away
Love is a lonely place without you
I know I'm not alone
I should not be afraid
Cause I hear your voice
And I know you're there beside me
And so I give my heart
I live to love again
But I can't let go
Of the way I feel about you
Love is a lonely place without you
I miss you
And you're almost here
And I'm almost touching you
Love is a place I have to hide away
I'll never love this way again (again)
If love was ever true
I know it was with you
Cause you touch my soul and
You stay with me forever
No tears, no said goodbyes
There are no reasons why
But I'm holding on
I believe in love eternal
Love is a lonely place without you
I miss you
And you're almost here
And I'm almost touching you
Love is a place I have to hide away
I'll never love this way again (again)
Though I'm moving on
I'm still holding on - holding on - holding on
Love is a lonely place without you
I miss you
And you're almost here
And I'm almost touching you
Love is a place I have to hide away
I'll never love this way again (again)
The road is long, with many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy - he's my brother
So on we go, his welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bare, we'll get there
For I know he would not encumber me
He ain't heavy - he's my brother
If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart isn't filled with gladness of love for one another
It's a long long road from which there is no return
While we're on our way to there, why not share
And the load, it doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy - he's my brother
When you're standin' on the edge of nowhere
There's only one way up
So your heart's gotta go there
Through the darkest night
See the light shine bright
When heroes fall in love or war
They live forever
This is a song for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I'll be by your side
And this is a song for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true
Can you hear this prayer?
Someone's there for you
Love don't need a reason
She can pick you up
Or leave you bleedin'
I've seen a strong man cry
I know the reason why
We all forgive, we all forget
We just keep believin'
'Coz this is a song for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I'll be by your side
And this is a song for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true
Can you hear this prayer?
'Coz someone's there for you
(Don't give up)
So let it find you
(Just for her)
Wherever you may go
(You'll be there)
I'm right beside you
You don't have to look no more
You don't have to look no more
Oh no
'Coz this is a song for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
(Can you hear me tonight?)
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I'll be by your side
And this is a song for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true
(When your dreams won't come true)
Can you hear this prayer?
'Coz there's someone there for you
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
This is a song
(For the lonely)
A song for the lonely
(Can you hear me tonight?)
And that's not you only
(This is a song for the lonely)
Through the darkest night
(Can you hear me tonight?)
You're gonna see the light
('Coz this is a song for the lonely)
Love like a reason
(Dreams won't come true)
Just to leave you bleedin'
(Can you hear this prayer?)
'Coz there's someone there
Can you hear this prayer?
'Coz someone's there
'Coz this is a song for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
(Can you hear me tonight?)
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I'll be by your side
And this is a song for the lonely
Visions haunt my memory
They hold on, hold on desperately
You and I were over long ago
Don't know why
My heart was last to know
Each time I find somebody new
Still in love with you
I know I been lying to myself
Baby, it's you
You know I'll deny it
But know it's true
Still in love with you
Wake up, crying in the night
These feelings I'm feeling
Prove you right
You told me
No one could take your place
No matter how I try
I can't replace
One thing you said
I know it's true
CHORUS:
Still in love with you
I know I've been lying to myself
Baby, it's true
I don't want to believe it
But what can I do
Still in love with you
You and I were over long ago
Don't know why
My heart was last to know
Chorus
I know I been lying
lying all along
Baby, it's you
And I know I'll deny it
But know it's true
Still in love with you
I know I been lying to myself
Baby, it's you
Chorus
Magic, logic
The system works, but not for me
Look beyond the nearest moment
And you'll see
The shape of things to come
Somewhere deep in the city
I can feel you I know you're here
Baby, I'm just a pussy-cat
But not a one that you should fear
One, two, always love you
One, two, move up above you
Two, two, right in the face
Yes sir, no sir, three bags full so
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
Let me get you outta here
Tragic, logic
The system hurts, but not for me
I look beyond the fairest moment
And I say
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
Somewhere deep in the system
I can see you but you're not clear
A simple case of error correction
Come on baby, get your ass in gear
One, two, always love you
One, two, move up above you
Two, two, right in the face
Of sir, no sir, three bags full so
The shape of things to come
Let me get your outta here
The shape of things to come
Look into my eyes and I'll make your day
The shape of things to come
Good things, great things, all just same things
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
You say you want to live some
Move out into the fast lane
You say you need excitement
To make you come alive
Some place a million miles from
The shadows that surround you
I look for your attention
You're lost out in the future
Where lovers ask no questions
And shadows never fall
Some pilgrim bound for paradise
No compromise
Paradise is here
CHORUS:
It's time to stop your crying
The future is this moment
And not some place out there
Tonight I need your love
Don't talk about tomorrow
Right now I need your loving
Right now give it to me
Right now I want your loving
Right now- now, now, now
You talk about your new plans
To move up on the stairway
Your dream about the high life
That's waiting for you there
A world of fame and fortune
That's just around the corner
But I don't need no high life
To make me feel a real man
And I don't need to reach for
No castles in the sky
Just put your arms around me
Devour me
'Cos paradise is here
Chorus
Tonight I need Your loving
Paradise is here
Sometimes I wonder where it is loves goes
I don't know if even Heaven knows
But I know we had dreams
That didn't quite come true
And now I'm not the one,
Little boy, who's keeping you
CHORUS:
I was either standing in your shadow
Or blocking your light
Though I kept on trying
I could not make it right
For this girl
There's not enough love in the world
I know people hurt you so bad
They don't know the damage
They can do, and it makes me so sad
How we knock each other down
Just like children on a playground
Even after that o' sun went down
Chorus
Oh darling this is still a shady little town
And sometimes it's so hard to smile
For the world, for the camera
And still you have something left
You don't have to prove nothing to nobody
Just take good care of yourself
I'm not easy to live with
I know that it's true
You're no picnic either, baby
And that's one of the things
I loved about you
But a time will come around
When we need to settle down
Got to get off this merry-go-round
Chorus
I've been romanced and I've been danced
Crazy nights and hard times
Life has lost it mystery
And love is blind, and can not find me
Cause I'm blowin' away
And shadows take my love and leave
I'm blowin' away
And shadows keep taking
My love and leaving me
I have past aside my foolish pride
Going down for the very last time
Cause I have searched this earth
And sailed the seas
But love is blind can not find me
Chorus x 2
When I was up
You'd always come around
When I need a friend
You could never be found
I got a hole
Where my heart used to be
I wouldn't treat a dog, no
The way you treated me
When time was good, love
All of your lovin' was the same
Oh, when the goin' got rough
Boy, you hardly knew my name
You locked me out
And you threw away the key, baby
I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me
Got me cryin for the love
That I'm needin'
Beggin' like a dog for a bone
Boy, I've spent most of my time grievin'
You turn you back
And you leave me, one of these old days
Lord knows that it's true
Just when you need me the most
I'll be walking out on you
When you say
As you're beggin' down on your knees, baby
I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me
The way you treated me
I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me
No, no I wouldn't do it
No, baby, I couldn't do it
I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me
No baby, the way you treated me
I bring a paper
To the cafe on the corner
I catch a movie in the afternoon
I spend an hour
Doing nothing that important
But nothing's what I'm in the mood to do
This peaceful image
Of a seen almost forgotten
Just touched the surface
Of my conscious mind
Of things I used to do
Before I knew you
Chorus:
So don't come around here tonite
But that doesn't mean forever
I trust you to spare us a fight
And humour my endeavour
There was something about you to me
How easier love used to be
Well I just need to know
That I'm all right
If you don't come around tonite
And so I wander
Through the workings of the city
Where every stranger has discovered me
With my desire, my isolation
Somehow I have to make the two agree
And then you vanish
All my thoughts and independance
When you put your hands on me
And I feel these things you do
That I've grown used to
(chorus)
You say I'm the one
You've been searching for
But for myself I would rather be more
Then someone who only aspires
To forfeit your every desire
And nights I've been mad, you are few
Now, all I am asking of you, is
(chorus) (repeat)
We use to talk
Delivered on a dime
Now we live together
Never find the time
We use to walk
As lovers on the sand
Now we're working full time
On our lifetime plan
We never stop to see
The moon at night
We're just too busy
Leading complicated lives
CHORUS:
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I remember love on a rooftop
We couldn't make our love stop
We were giving all that we got
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I remember holding you so tight
Ooh, when kissing lasted all night
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Love on a rooftop
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Look at us now all grown up
We got it all together
Got it all sown up
But is this all, it was leading to
Do we just run out of dreams
When all our dreams come true
What ever happened
To those endless nights
When we were happy
Living young and foolish lives
Chorus
We never stop to see
The moon at night
We're just too busy
Leading complicated lives
Chorus
Do nothing till you hear from me
Leave a number where you're gonna be
These times are dangerous for you and me
Would I get a message through?
She'll be watching every move you make
She'll be waiting for that one mistake
Somebody's heart is gonna have to break
Before we are through
CHORUS:
Because we can't live
From kiss to kiss
Making up for all we've missed
Hiding in the daylight shadows
Until it's time to say goodbye
Wishing it would be all right
Living with a loneliness
From kiss to kiss
Don't ask me now what is right or wrong
'Cos I've been wondering since you came along
We were weak and love was strong
Now there's nothing we can do
So I'll meet you at the same ole place
I know it's worth it when I see your face
Someday we'll just disappear without a trace
Baby, that's the truth
I keep hoping we'll find a way
(Kiss to kiss)
I keep wondering who's gonna pay
(Kiss to kiss)
I keep waiting for Judgement Day
Some people's lives
Just get in the way
And that's the truth
Chorus
Here it is again Monday morning
And I really got the blues
But it don't much matter
I got no need to smile
And I don't think I will for quit awhile
CHORUS:
So it might as well stay Monday from now on
Cause it seems that the only one I ever love is gone
And it just might as well stay Monday from now on
Go away mister sun I can't use you
Brighten someone else's life
Let the darkest hide me and carry off my pain
For there's nothing you can do, nothing you can do,
Nothing you can do to make things change
Chorus
Let the darkest hide me and carry off my pain
For there's nothing you can do, nothing you can do,
Nothing you can do to make things change
And it might as well stay Monday from now on
Might as well stay Monday from now on
I walked down the street
People passing me by
They just look me up and down
But they don't look me in the eye
I'm just another stranger
In my own home town
Looking for an angel
But heaven can't be found
I say hey, are you lonely tonight?
Hey, hey, hey I'm gonna make it through
But that don't make it right
CHORUS:
Does anybody really fall in love anymore?
Does anybody really give their heart to somebody?
Does anybody really ever open that door?
I know, I know you've got to love somebody
I know, I know I've got to find somebody to love
There's a sad face in the mirror
And I'm sad to say it's mine
Like a ghost up in the attic
Only love can set him free
I've been running around in circles
On this roller coaster ride
There's a lonely world around me
I get sucked in by the tide
I say hey, love ain't no crime
So why is everybody so afraid to cross that line?
Chorus
Hey, hey, hey I'll be all right
'Cause I know that someone somewhere's
Gonna say these words tonight
Chorus
Cher and Peter Cetera
Peter Cetera:
Well here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight
Cher:
I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always brings me back to you
CHORUS Cher and Peter Cetera:
After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After All that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess It's meant to be
Forever you and me, after all
Cher:
When love is truly right
(This time it's truly right)
It lives from year to year
It changes as it goes
Oh and on the way it grows
But it never disappears
CHORUS Cher and Peter Cetera:
After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After All that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess It's meant to be
Forever you and me, after all
BRIDGE Cher and Peter Cetera:
Always just beyond my touch
You know I need you so much
After all what else is living for
CHORUS(2x)
When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you
And now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you're gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you
And beg you to come home
CHORUS:
You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me believe me
I can't help but love you
But believe I will never tie you down
Left alone with your memory
Live seems dead and so do we
All that left is loneliness
There's nothing left to feel
Chorus x 2
Better sit down kids
I'll tell you why, kids
You might not understand, kids
But give it a try, kids
Now how should I put this
I've got something to say
You mother is staying
But I'm going away
No, we're not mad, kids
It's hard to say why
Your mother and I
Don't see eye to eye
Say your prayers before you go to bed
Make sure you get yourself to school on
time
I know you'll do the things your mother
asks
She's gonna need you most to stay in
line
Keep in mind your mother's gonna need
Your help a whole lot more than she
ever did before
No more fights over little things
because
I won't be here to stop them anymore
I know you don't want this, neither do
we
But sometimes things happen
That we can't foresee
Now try to be calm, kids
And don't look so sad
Just cause I am leaving
I'll still be your dad
Just remember I love you
And though I'm not here
Just call if you need me
And I'll always be near
(Repeat Chorus)
Well, I have to go now
So kiss me goodbye
My eyes are just red, kids
I'm too big to cry
Where do you go
When it starts to rain
Where will you sleep
When the night time comes
What do you do
When your heart's in pain
Where will you run
When the right time comes
These are the things
That I want to know
Where will you hide
When the lights are low
Where do you go
When it starts to rain
Where will you sleep
When the night time comes
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and then it eased my pain
Now the dark days are gone and bright days are here
My Sunny once shined so sincere, Sunny once so true
I love you I love you
Sunny thank you for the sunshine you gave to me
Sunny thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
And now I feel that I'm 10 feet tall
Sunny once so true, I love you
Sunny thank you for the truth that you let me see
Sunny thank you for the facts from A to Z
Somehow I was torn like a wind blown sail
Then our love was borned when you held my hand
Sunny once so true, I love you
Sunny thank you for the sunshine you gave to me
Sunny thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
And now I feel that I'm 10 feet tall
Sunny once so true, I love you
Saw him today
I saw his face, it was the face I love
And I knew I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That they go away but still they begin
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears I gotta hide
Hey I thought I was smart
I'd won his heart
I didn't think I'd lose
But I see she worst to him than me
Let him go ahead take her love instead
And one day he will see
Just how to say please
Wow and get down on his knees
That's how it begins
Hurtin' him hurtin' him
Why can't I stop and tell myself
It's wrong so wrong
Why can't I stand up
Tell myself to be strong
Because I saw him today
I saw his face it was the face I love
I can't let go, although I know
He'll make me cry until the day I die
But people I got to live now
Wow Lord knows I should forgive now
That's how they begin
You'll feel those needles and pins
Somebody stop'em now
Stop those needles and pins
Somebody take'em away now
Stop those needles and pins
(Repeat and fade)
CHORUS:
Mama when my dollies have babies
And I am a big lady
Mama will a prince come and take me away
When I said these things I believed in kings
Then I didn't know love could hurt me so
Slowly she replied, tears had filled her eyes
Baby not so fast let your young life last
Chorus
I sang to her in fun, my teens had just began
My age was not the same still we played the game
Her eyes were filled with pride and slowly she replied
Soon enough you'll be a very pretty bride
Chorus
Mama, will the hurt go away deep inside
When I sang this song
My poor world had gone along
All my early dreams has turned to crystal streams
My love it was last and more tears have past
And left me just one thing a tender voice I sing
Chorus
Hey Joe where are you going
With that gun in your hand
I said now
Hey Joe where are you going
With that gun in your hand
Going down to shoot my old lady
Cause you know
I caught her messing a round town
I'm going down to shoot my old lady
Cause I caught her messing around
With another man
Hey Joe I heard you shot your woman down
Shot her down
Hey I said hey Joe
I heard you shot your woman down
Shot her down to the ground
Yes I did, I shot her
Cause I caught her messing around town
Hey Joe I heard you shot your woman down
Shot her down
But I said hey Joe
I heard you shot your woman down
Shot her down shot her down
Yes, yes I did, I shot her
Cause I caught her messing around town
Hey Joe where you gonna run to now
I said, I said hey Joe where you gonna run to now
Where you gonna go
Well Jig I'm going down south way down to Mexico way
I said I'm going down south way down to Mexico way
Tall and tan and young and lonely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes haaa
When she walks it's like a samba
That sways so sweet and swings so gently
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes haaa
Ooh but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes he would give his hide gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks ahead not at he
Tall and tan and young and lonely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
She smiles but she doesn't see
Ooh but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes he would give his hide gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks ahead not at he
Tall and tan and young and lonely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
She smiles but she doesn't see
Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big so big and strong
The man, the man that I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He's gonna look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He's gonna grab, he's gonna grab my hand
And though I know it seems obscure
I know it won't say
We won't say a word
CHORUS:
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday maybe not
Still I'm gonna meet him one day
Cause maybe Tuesday will be
My good news day
He'll build a little home meant just for 2
From which I'll never, never run with you
And so all else above
I'm waiting for the man I love
He's gonna look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He's gonna grab, he's gonna grab my hand
And though I know it seems obscure
I know it won't say
We won't say a word
Chorus
Now the greenest green I've ever seen
Was the grass on which you laid
And the bluest blue was in my eyes
When you said you couldn't stay
And the biggest lost I ever took
Was losing what we've begun
And the greatest song I ever heard
Was the one we never sung
Now the reddest red I've always said
Is the sunset coming down
Soon the blackest night that kills the light
Is the only thing around
And the downest down I ever been
Is when I knew my race was run
And the greatest song I ever heard
Was the one we never sung
Time will kill the pain they say
And we'll live to love another day
If you wanna win you got to play the game
Now the greatest break came on the day
We were standing in the rain
And the hardest hurt I've ever know
Was when you tried to ease my pain
And the longest day in history
Waiting till my crying's done
And the saddest song I ever heard
Was the one we finally sung
Climb upon my knee Sonny boy
You are only 3 Sonny boy
You have no way of knowing
I have no way of showing
What you mean to me Sonny boy
When they are gray skies honey
I don't mind those gray skies
I'll still have you Sonny boy
Don't you know that
My friends may forsake me
Let them go on and forsake me
You're gonna pull me straight through
Sonny boy
You're sent from heaven
And I know your worst
You've made a heaven for me
Right here on earth
I'm coming yes I'm coming
I'm sorry that I made you wait
Yes I'm coming, good God I'm coming
I hope and pray it's not too late
Can't you hear my mammy
My little mam, my little mammy
I walk a million miles for one of your smiles
My mam, my my mam my little mammy
Weep no more, weep no more my lady
Sing that song again for me
Sing a song that low just as though
You had me you had me right there on your knee
A million baby kisses I'm gonna deliver
As many that you sing that's what I deliver
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby
With a Dixie melody
Friends may forsake me
Let them forsake me
I'll still have you Sonny boy
My baby treats me sweet and gentle
The way that he should
I got it bad and that ain't good
My poor heart it's sentimental
You know it ain't made out of wood
I got it bad and that ain't good
When the weekend is over
And Monday rolls round
I am the way that I started out
You know I'm crying, crying my heart out
He don't love me like I love him
Ah nobody could
I got it bad, bad,
I got it bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
I got it bad, ah bad
And I got it bad and it ain't good
I could cry some chin-chin tears
Where have I been all these years
A little while come on tell me now
How long has this been going on
What a kick and how I buzz
My son you click like nobody does
Listen sweet I repeat
How long has this been going on
CHORUS:
I feel like I could melt right into heaven
I've heard
And now I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
Kiss me once and then again once more
God what a dunce I was before
What a break for heaven sake
How long has this been going on
Chorus
They go off and leave me behind
They have so many words to find
I run to catch a glimpse of them
Just walking in the sun
Knowing they'll be mine again
When the evening has begun
And when I see them hand in hand
The boy who walks beside the man
I pray that I will always have the world
That I have found
The husband and the son
That I built my life around
CHORUS:
He'll never know of that night long ago
He'll never know it's locked in my mind
No he'll never know
From the feelings I show
He'll never know
His son is only mine
Sometimes I lie awake at night
Watching darkest turn to light
Thinking back on all the things
I said to him today
Wondering if I might had a careless word to say
When the morning's almost here
He reaches out to draw me near
Silently I search his face for the love
I hope to see and once again
I'm sure that all his love belongs to me
Chorus
I gotta go on my way by myself
Because this is the end of romance
I gotta go my way all by myself
Love it's only it's only a dance
I'm gonna try to apply myself
And teach my poor heart how to sing
I gotta go I want to go my way all by myself
Just like just like a bird on a wing
I'm gonna face the unknown
I'm gonna feel I'm gonna feel the way on my own
Cause nobody knows better than I myself
You see I'm by myself all alone
I gotta go I gotta go on my way by myself
This is the end, the end, the end end of romance
I gotta go I gotta go my way all by myself
Love is only a dance
Cause I gotta go I gotta see, I gotta
Try my own thing by myself
And teach my poor heart how to sing
I gotta go I gotta try my own thing all by myself
Just like a bird I'm out on a wing
I'm gonna face the unknown
I'm wanna feel I gotta feel I wanna feel
A world of my own
Nobody nobody knows better than I myself
You see I'm by myself all alone
You're my main man
When you call my heart goes sailin'
My feet refuse to touch the ground
When you come around
You're my main man
That's what the neighborhood's been sayin'
Even Mother knows your name
I'll take your love and never be the same
CHORUS:
Oh, you're my main man
I am your only woman
Oh you're my main man
Forever
You're my main man
Paid the gypsy to keep prayin'
I'll keep a candle lit for love
And watch the street
For you from up above
Chorus
You're my main man
When you call my heart goes sailin'
I'll keep a candle lit for love
And watch the street
For you from up above
Chorus
I was by myself drinkin'
Chilled lonely wine
Then he walked in with some woman
Who's place was once mine
And she wore his ring on her finger
And the band began a song
I'd heard before
CHORUS:
I saw a man and he danced with his wife
How I wished he was dancing with me
'Cause I remember before
When we danced on this floor
His eyes were only on me
Where did I go wrong
They were playin' our song
While I was cryin' all night long
I kept watchin' as they dance so divine
I kept hopin' kept on lookin'
But I couldn't catch his eye
Oh, then he got up and he saw me
But he just walked right on by
And danced with her
Chorus
Where did I go wrong
They were playin' our song
While I was cryin' all night long
Two weeks later
I heard a knock on my door
He's back
Just like all those good time before
Ah, then he kissed me
And he told me
I left her 'cause I love you,
So much more than I knew
Chorus
I saw a man and he danced with his wife
When you meet a boy
That you like a lot
And you fall in love
But he loves you not
If a flame should start
As you hold him near
Better keep your heart
Out of danger, dear
For the way of love
Is a way of woe
And the day may come
When you'll see him go
Then what will you do
When he sets you free?
Just the way that you
Said goodbye to me
When you meet a boy
That you like a lot
And you fall in love
But he loves you not
If a flame should start
As you hold him near
Better keep your heart
Out of danger, dear
For the way of love
Is a way of woe
And the day may come
When you'll see him go
Then what will you do
When he sets you free?
Just the way that you
Said goodbye to me
That's the way of love
Does he love me? I want to know
How can I tell, if he loves me so?
Is it in his eyes?
Oh no, you'll be deceived
Is it in his signs?
Oh no, he'll make believe
If you want to know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Is it in his face?
Oh no, that's just his charms
In his warm embrace?
Oh no, that's just his arms
If you want to know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss
How about the way he acts?
Oh no, that's not the way
And you're not listenin' to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is It's there in his kiss
How about the way he acts?
Oh no, that's not the way
And you're not listenin' to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
CHORUS:
The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da
Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh
The mini skirts the current thing, uh huh
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh
Chorus
The grocery store's the super mart, uh huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
Electrically they keep a baseball score
Chorus
Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
The cars keep going faster all the time
Bums still cry hey buddy, have you got a dime
Chorus
Cher, Chrissie Hynde & Neneh Cherry
I'd gladly walk across the desert with no shoes upon my feet
To share with you the last bite of bread I had to eat
I would swim out to save you in your sea of broken dreams
When all your hopes are sinking, let me show you what love means
Love can build a bridge
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don’t you think it’s time
Don’t you think it’s time
I would whisper love so loudly every heart could understand
That love and only love can join the tribes of man
I would give my heart's desire so that you might see
The first step is to realize that it all begins with you and me
Love can build a bridge
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don’t you think it’s time
Don’t you think it’s time
When we stand together it's our finest hour
We can do anything, anything, anything, anything
Keep believing in the power
Love can build a bridge
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don’t you think it’s time
Don’t you think it’s time
Love can build a bridge
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don’t you think it’s time
Don’t you think it’s time
Here, here in this world
Where do we go
Where do we turn
When we need some love
It seems that love
Just can't be found
Where, where do we stand
When love's supply
Don't meet love's demand
We got enough stars
To light the sky at night
Enough sun to make
The whole world bright
We got more than enough
But there's one thing
There's just not enough of¡
CHORUS:
Not enough love and understanding
We could use some love
To ease these troubled times
Not enough love and understanding
Why, oh why
Spend all of our time
Building buildings up to the sky
Reaching everywhere but where
We need to reach the most
Hearts never can win
Oh, in this race
This race that we're in
We've got enough cars
To drive around the world
Enough planes to take us anywhere
We got more than enough
But there's one thing
There's just not enough of¡
Chorus x 2
We need some understandin'
We need a little more love
Some love and understandin'
Enough stars to light the sky at night
Enough sun to make the whole world bright
Enough hearts to find some love inside
We got more than enough
But there's one thing
There's just not enough of¡
Chorus
I was born in the wagon of a travellin' show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of
Doctor Good
Gypsys, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us Gypsys, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
Picked up a boy just south of
Mobile Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal I was sixteen, he was twenty-one
Rode with us to Memphis
And papa woulda shot him if he knew what he'd done
I never had schoolin' but he taught me well
With his smooth southern style
Three months later I'm a gal in trouble
And I haven't seen him for a while, uh-huh I haven't seen him for a while, uh-huh
She was born in the wagon of a travellin' show
Her mama had to dance for the money they'd throw
Grandpa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of
Doctor Good
Now I ain't lookin' to compete with you
Beat on, cheat on, mistreat you
Simplify you, classify you
Deny, defy, mystify you
All I really want to do
Is baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you
Now I ain't lookin' to fight with you
Frighten you or uptighten you
Drag you down or drain you down
Chain you down or bring you down
All I really want to do
Is baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you
I ain't lookin' to block you up
Dock or rock or lock you up
Analyze you, categorize you
Finalize or advertise you
All I really want to do, yeah
Is baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you
I don't want to straight-face you
Race or chase or track or trace you
Or disgrace you or displace you
Or define you or confine you
All I really want to do, yeah
Is baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you
Now I don't want to meet your kin
Make you spin or do you in
Or select you or dissect you
Or inspect you or reject you
All I really want to do
Is baby, be friends with you
For the first time, in such a long time
I've been feelin' there's some reason
To hold on through the night
And for the first time since
You broke this heart of mine
I find myself believin'
It's really gonna be alright
Now you're askin' me to let
You walk back into my life
Something I can't bring myself to do
CHORUS:
'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you
You kept me holdin' on till the end
Oh it's been hard enough getting' over you
I don't think that I could say goodbye again
I could trust you, but it's out of my hands
I once believed your promises
Believed in every word you said
I still love you but my heart won't take the chance
That all the pain I've left behind me
Might be waiting for me up ahead
Just remember it was you
Who walked right out of my life
No you don't know what I've been through
Chorus
I made a promise to myself
And this one I'm not gonna break
I've made it without you
And I'm not about to
Turn around and make the same mistake
Chorus
'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you
You kept me holdin' on till the end
Oh, it's been hard enough gettin' over you
I don't think that I could say goodbye
I don't think I could say goodbye
I know that I can't say goodbye again
So you wanna throw our love away
So you think we ought-a say goodbye
And you tell me we've run out-a time
Can't make a heart, stop on a dime
You could always walk away
Like you never saw my face
If you wanted to
You could tell yourself a lie
Say this love ain't worth a try
But you know isn't true
You heart is tellin' you
CHORUS:
Whoa...we gotta take a stand
Give our love a fightin' chance
We can talk it over baby
Woman to man
Give our love a fightin' chance
A fightin' chance
So you think you'll wish it all away
Click your heels and leave it all behind
But you don't know that in the real world
You gotta fight to keep love alive
There's a battle to be won
And if bother our hearts are strong
We can make it through
So don't turn your back and run
'Cause your heart's under the gun
It's a case of do or die
Break down the walls of pride
Chorus
I don't know if it's in my mind
Watching all the shadows behind me
Cause I could get hurt
Or maybe this time
The cloud has got a silver lining
And if I'm scared, I got a right to be
I know, you could wound me critically
CHORUS:
These are dangerous times
And if I take some chances
Put my heart on the line
What would you do to me
If I give myself up
To these circumstances
In these dangerous times
Would you keep me safely
Over the hill, there's an army of fools
Waiting for their hearts to be broken
How do I know
If I'm gonna explode
When I come out in the open
'Cause even lovers can turn into enemies
I don't wanna be a casualty
These are dangerous times
And if I take some chances
Put my heart on the line
What would you do to me
If I give myself up
To these circumstances
In these dangerous times
Would you keep me
Would you keep me
Baby would you keep me safely tonight
Can I trust you with all of my affections?
Can I trust you to be on my side?
In these dangerous times
Chorus x 2
The funny-face kid from down the street
Always very close at hand
He was just a cowboy, I was Lady Gran
But I don't think I would have shot him down
If I knew then what I know now
High school days and puppy love
Learning what it's all about
He was kinda akward, I was filling out
But I don't think that I would have played around
If I knew then what I know now
Too many years, too many chairs
Too many other things, too many men
Time and again I had to test my wings
No time for love, strings or wedding rings
A pretty young girl from Baltimore
Got herself a real good man
Once he was a cowboy who wanted Lady Gran
And I know that I would have made that now
If I knew then what I know now
Once he was a cowboy who wanted Lady Gran
And I know that I would have made that vow
If I knew then what I know now
Come from the suburbs into the city
They say you can make it
If you're young and pretty
Dreams must be tall
Ain't it a pity
But they say you can make it
If you're young and pretty
So I sit inside my dressing room
Waiting for the band to play
And I wonder what is left to loose
Where is anyone, any way
Outside a neon, face from exhaustion
Screaming with promise of what's inside
But nobody's watching
I go for the money, my wallet's a liar
Nothing inside cause the world is on fire
So I give them that old routine
No one listens, any way
When I fight for what it means
God I wish I had someone here today
So I give them that old routine
No one listens, any way
When I fight for what it means
God I wish I had someone here today
Come from the suburbs into the city
They say you can make it
If you're young and pretty
Come from the sidelines into the city
They say you can make it
If you're young and pretty
They say you can make it
If you're young and pretty
Well they tell me there's a pie in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day your born
And when you die
Oh Lord, they never seem to hear
Even your cry
And as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
And then
CHORUS:
The bigger they come
The harder they fall
One and all
Oh yeah they bigger they come
The harder they fall
Well the oppressors are trying to get me down
Trying to drive me under the ground
And they think that they have got their battle won
I say, ¡°forgive them Lord
they no not what they've done¡±
And as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
And then
Chorus
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead man your gone
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Oh, than living like a puppet or a slave
And as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
And then
Chorus x 3
I've got to try just one more time
To help you believe in me
Oh, look into my eyes
Check my face for lies and you might see
My life's never been everything
I want it to be
But with you I could change this bad luck
Just this one time
I need someone to believe in me
Breathe it with me
Get beneath it with me, now sweet darlin'
Just this one time
I've got to say the perfect thing
Oh, I can't make mistakes now
Oh, I've got to read your signs
I've gotta sing those magic lines
You gotta hear
I know I've given you
Every reason in this
Whole round world to fear me now
But my love's a raging river
And you've wrapped it in your hand
Oh darlin'
Just this one time
I need someone to believe in me
Believe in me
Just this one time
I need someone to leave it with me
Breathe it with me
Oh, get beneath it with me now sweet daddy
Just this one time
(Just this one time) I really need somebody
(Just this one time) I really need someone
(Just this one time) I really need somebody
(Just this one time) I really need somebody, oh
(Just this one time) I really, I really need someone
(just this one time) I really need somebody, somebody
She lives life with hungry ears
Well that's like Julie borned in the air
Riding away on the horses that run through my life
You think I'm fun just watching the game
But Julie you're messing with a naked flame
I'm a dangerous rain that wash all your lies away
Well I never, Julie you're the shape of sin
But I can strut boy, when the line dance begins
So cool it Julie or I'm gonna do you in
CHORUS:
Julie, Julie why do you taunt me
Julie, Julie you're lying
Julie, Julie Why do you haunt me
Julie, oh Julie you lying b****
Well you think I'm just flying
With strings of a kite
But Julie I hope you're not for oblige
I'm flying higher
And I am the one holding the knife
He's all that I got and he's all that I want
Well Julie for the last time enough is enough
Take it from me you'll meet no meaner woman, no
Chorus x 2
When I go away
I know my heart can stay with my love
It's understood
Everywhere with my love
My love does it good, whoa
My love, oh only my love
My love does it good
And when the cupboard's bare
I'll still find something there with my love
It's understood
Everywhere with my love
My love does it so good, whoa
My love, oh only my love
My love does it good
Only my love, oh only my love
Only my love, hold the other things to me
Oh, only my love, oh only my love
Only my love does it good to me
Everywhere with my love
Don't you see my love
It does it so good
Oh, only my love, only my love
My love does it good
Don't ever ask me why
I never say "good-bye" to my love
It's understood
'Cause everywhere with my love
My love does it good, whoa
Only my love, oh only my love
My love does it good
Oh only my love
Only my love does it good to me,whoa
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshinin' day
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshinin' day
Oh yes, I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshinin' day (ooh...)
Look all around,
There's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead,
There's nothing but blue skies
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Here's the rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshinin' day
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshinin' day
Real, real, real, real bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshinin' day
Yeah, hey, it's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshinin' day
I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see
Another kind of mind there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you,
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
You didn't run, you didn't lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone
You knew in time we'd meet again
For I had told you
Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you hear me
Say we'll be together every day
Got to get you into my life
What can I do, what can I be,
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you,
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life
I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see
Another kind of mind there
Then suddenly I see you
Did I tell you I need you
Put Geronimo in jail down south
Where he couldn't look
A gift horse in the mouth
Took old Geronimo by storm
Ripped off the feathers from his uniform
CHORUS:
Oh boys take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac
Oh boys take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac
Sergeant, Sergeant oh
Don't you feel
There's something wrong
With your automobile
Warden, warden oh
Listen to me
Be brave and set Geronimo free
Governor, governor oh
Isn't it strange
You never see a car
On the Indian range
Chorus
People, people oh
Don't you know
The Indian's got no place to go
Jesus told me, and I believe it's true
The red man's in the sunset too
Took our land
Now they won't give it back
They sent Geronimo a cadillac
Chorus x 2
You know you love your man
Two hundred miles an hour
Drinking up the fumes
And you're never more alive
When you feel his power
You gotta have it today
Cause a woman gets hot
You're racing for the man in the cloak
Ah you're living your life on fire
You see, but it's out of bounds company
CHORUS:
(Fast company)
I with the lights, heart beats
Dancing to the music
Lord I just burst into fire
No wonder I can't sleep
I got a feeling today
I wanna get all hot
All my dreams explodes with a shot
Lord I'd be living
My life on the Caribbean Sea
But it's out of bounds company
(Fast company)
You see you're on the way to come
You say you're one your way to go
Baby the heart's speaking paradise
But you - Help me
Get your big life
Fast company
Chorus
(Fast company)
You see you're on the way to come
You say you're one your way to go
Baby the heart's speaking paradise with me
Fast Company
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, baby
If'n you don't know by now
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, baby
If'n you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window, and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm a-travelin on
But don't think twice, it's all right
Ain't no use in turning on your light babe
The light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turning on your light babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was something you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
But we never did too much talkin' anyway
Don't think twice, it's all right
So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like ya never done before
And it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear ya anymore
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wonderin' walkin down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I am told
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
So long honey baby
Where bound I can't tell
And goodbye is too good a word baby
So I'll just say fare-thee-well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You coulda ever better, but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
Don't think twice, it's all right
Throw out our love
Like it was old news
Be sure to wear your best pair
Of walking out shoes
Go take the world
Into your hot hands
You want the music baby,
Go have the dance
Ooh when you miss my love
And you're thinking about
How good it use to be
Ooh when you long for my touch
CHORUS:
Baby please don't come crying to me
Remember you were the one
Who wanted to be free
That's how you wanted to be
So don't come crying,
Don't come crying to me
Don't you come crying
Walk out the door and go on and go free
Step on my heart like
It's the ground under your feet
Find another lover if you want to
You got to do whatever you got to do
Ooh but when the nights get cold
And you're thinking about
How hot we used to be
Ooh and when there's no one to hold
Chorus x 3
When I was a little girl in Dixie
I used to chase the fireflies
Then I grew up and started chasing the guys
Teenage romance what just the thing
Till I got in a family way
Now mama only working in a cheap café
CHORUS:
Waiting on tables and passing myself around
Dixie girl, you're the small talk
In a small talking town
I fall in love every day with someone
Who ends up just driving away
While I dreaming I with him
Going down that west bound highway
One night a man walks in and smiles
And orders coffee black
Took me for a ride in his brand new cadillac
Told me he loved me with all his heart
I told him I loved him too
He said goodbye Dixie, I'll be back for you
Chorus
Now all I do is read those Hollywood photograph magazines
Work my shifts for tips and live alone in my dreams
I'm a Dixie girl who prays some day she'll be a Delta queen
Fine a good man, who'll raise me and my baby
Chorus x 2
Bell bottom blues you made me cry
And I don't want to lose this feeling
And if I could choose a place to die
Oh, it would be in your arms
CHORUS:
Do you want to see me crawl
Across the floor to you (do ya wanna)
And do you want to hear me
Beg you to take me back?
I'm beggin' baby
Cause I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day,
Please I don't want to fade away
I don't want to fade away
In your arms I wanna stay
It's all wrong but it's all right
The way that you do me, baby
Once I was strong, but I lost the fight
Whoa, and you won't find a better loser
Chorus
Bell bottom blues don't you say goodbye
Sure we're gonna meet again
And if we, when you do
Don't you be surprised
If you find me with another lover
Chorus
Won't you
Won't you give me one more day, please
What's your name is it Jane
Would you mind sitting next to a silly old fool?
It's just I tired of wasting my hours
Talking to trees and watching flowers grow
Watching birds chasing bees
Little boys scraping knees
Even my tears have all dried
Can I sit by your side?
CHORUS:
Don't misunderstand me
I'm just an old man with no place to go
And if you oblige me and sit here beside me
I'll tell you a story a beautiful story
That you might not know Please don't go
Pardon me mister tree
I hope I didn't offend you before
You are my friend but I wanted much more
But now I'm back once again
Like always before
Watching birds chasing bees
Little boys scraping knees
Even my tears have all dried
Can I sit by your side?
Chorus
Stuck in L.A., ain't got no friends
And so Hollywood nuts, too many dead ends
Life on the streets is no where to live
Do I pack my bags or dare switch
Just sold my car, I sold it for junk
I can't pay my rent so I take the bus
It's the first time
I been in such a cold place
Where the temperature is 88
CHORUS:
88 degrees
Lord it's so hot, so damn hot
Trying to make a deal
But somehow I'm stopped
Cause the pace is so heavy
Maybe it cause the weather
Yeah, yeah
I'm set in the mood for you
You remember the time
You remember the time
Yes, I'm the deal for a whole lot of dough
I'm hoping success turns ten years to gold
Finally I'm happening and I set in the press
You ask me what it's like to be famous
Chorus
Remember the time
Cause when in your face
You could start to get angry
Is it me or just this place
One thing is for sure
You got to work so hard
Sure feels this ain't no place for broken hearts
Just ask me tomorrow if you love you
Chorus
Stuck in L.A., ain't go no friends
And so Hollywood nuts, too many dead ends
Life on the streets is no where to live
You ask me what it's like to be famous
Chorus
I'm all through with lovin' you
Wasting my precious time on you
Gonna walk away, walk out
Kiss this love goodbye
Ain't no words you're gonna say
Gonna change my mind
I don't deserve all the hurt
Won't put up with the pain
Been too many lies baby
Too many games
So I'm taking back my heart
Talkin' back my heart, yeah
Repossessin' my affection
Takin' back my heart
Because baby, baby, baby
Don't belong to you no more
What did I ever see in you
How could I be so blind a fool
Gonna walk away, walk out
Take my love and leave
Gonna save it up for somebody
Who really loves me
You don't deserve me around
And now I'm gonna go
Kiss me goodbye baby
I'm out the door
Takin' back my heart
Takin' back my heart yeah
Repossessin' repossessin' my affection
Oh...yeah takin' back my heart
Because baby, baby, baby
Don't belong to you no more
Givin'up all the pain
Packin' up all my pride
I've got one word to say
And that word is goodbye
If you'd just realized
Good love don't come for free
Then I wouldn't be
In the east and in the west
Every bird will seek its' nest
Everyone will seek its' home
Home is where the heart goes
And the moon will rise and fall
And the light will touch the tide
Are we holding hands and never feeling
All around the world we sing
Like a penny in a spin
Always looking for the way
To get out, to get in
CHORUS:
Love is the groove in which we move
Love is the groove in which we move
Love is the groove in which we move
In the alleys o Monsay
In the streets of Katmandu
On the high roads of Peru
People meet and touch and go
But the wind of change will blow
And another dance will start
And I'll finally get the point
Like an arrow to my heart
Chorus
Look back where's the sea
Who brought this mystery
Deep in another world
Someone is listening
And they as with night
And we keep asking why
Look back there's the key
Deep in another life
On this ship in which we sail
Everything is possible
Keep on turning like a star
Till you get to where you are
If I promise not to laugh
Will you promise not to cry
Will you promise not to let this life
Slip by
Chorus
Read your note this mornin'.
'Bye-Bye girl', that's all it said.
Glad I found it first,
before the kids got out of bed.
Baked a tray of muffins.
Hung some wet-wash out to dry.
By the time the kids got up,
I could look them in the eye.
You've gone away, you've gone away.
How will I get though the day?
This God-forsaken day.
Drank some bitter coffee.
Read your note ten times or more.
When I'd washed the dishes twice,
I got down and scrubbed the floor.
Empty chair at supper.
Everybodys actin' strange.
Food just gettin' cold.
Kids real quiet for a change.
You've gone away, you've gone away.
How will I get through the day?
This God-forsaken day.
Rain was fallin' hard
as I walked slowly up the stairs.
Pushed my tears back down
as I stood listenin'
to their prayers.
There's your empty pillow.
Your side's flat right to the wall.
Now's the time for private cryin'.
Now it hurts me
most of all.
You've gone away.
I turn off the light.
How will I get through the night?
This God-forsaken night.
This long and lonesome, God-forsaken night.
The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
Like the roads before
And it always leads me here
Leads me to your door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Have left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Ah let me know the way
Cause many times I have been alone
And many time I've cried
And any way you never know
What many times I tried
Still they lead me back
CHORUS:
To that long winding road
You left me standing here dear
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me standing here
Take me to your door
Chorus
Oh I heard a rooster crow
I think I better go
Never been out this late before
Please don't think I'm a bore
But will I see you anymore
Say have you got a comb that I can use
I'm sure I look like real bad news
Like I really been abused
Don't get me wrong when I ask before
If I'll see you anymore
I don't know if I should laugh or cry
Do you want to kiss me goodbye?
Or was I just another try
You're a funny kinda guy
Don't know what I'll say
When they ask me why
Oh I heard a rooster crow
I think I better go
Never been out this late before
I know when I walk outside your door
I won't see you anymore
I've been so many places in my life and time
Sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I got out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now I'm singing this song
Singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darling can you please see through me
Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth
We're only nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
And if my words can come together
Listen to the melody
Cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
Singing this song, singing this song for you
I can think of younger days
When living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do?
I could never see tomorrow
But I was never told about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again
I can still feel the breeze
That rustles through the trees
And misty memories do days gone by
We could never see tomorrow
No one said a word about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again
I was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good
CHORUS:
Gypsies, tramps and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
Picked up a boy just south of Mobile
Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal
I was sixteen, he was twenty-one
Rode with us to Memphis
And papa woulda shot him if he knew what he'd done
Chorus
I never had schoolin' but he taught me well
With his smooth southern style
Three months later, I'm a gal in trouble
And I haven't seen him for a while
I haven't seen him for a while
She was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
Her mama had to dance for the money they'd throw
Grandpa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good
Chorus
You never give yourself completely
It's just that you've been hurt before
You're so afraid to let me love you
You never leave an open door
Don't judge me by some other lover
Who broke your heart and walked away
Come let's be fair with one another
My world is yours I swear it
Say the word and we can share it
CHORUS:
Don't hide your love
(Don't hide your love)
Not if you care for me
(Not if you care for me)
It isn't fair for me
To worry and wonder and wait
Don't hide your love
(Don't hide your love)
Just love me here and now
(Just love me here and now)
We'll work it out somehow
Don't you keep us apart
Baby unlock your heart
Don't hide your love
Well I now the past has bought you sorrow
The clouds still hang around today
But don't let the rain, fall on tomorrow
Baby we can make it together
'Cause I'm gonna love you forever
Chorus
Look at us the picture of happiness
Not so long ago, Ah, not so very long ago
The price of all our friends
The perfect couple were we
Is this how it will end?
Just a sad sad story.
Living in a house divided
With a love that's so onesided
There's no chance at all
The walls have got to fall
Tumbling down
Look at us the King and Queen of emptiness
Living inside our castle of loneliness
Unable to make amends
Such perfect strangers are we
Is this how it will end?
When the money's gone
Will you be my friend
Float a small row boat till our ship comes in
When the winter nights chill us to the soul
Will you feed the fire
Spin the straw to gold
When the money's gone
When the money's gone
Will you get cold feet
Will you still be there if the ends don't meet
If we're in the red, just forget the green
Take a bus with me
No more limousines
When the money's gone
Will you still want me
Oh what a fine life I give to you
All you ever want
Will you still be there
Will you pull me through when the cash don't come
And if you're mine
Will you still love me wherever we fall
When the money's gone
+Oh, will you want me baby
Oh, will you need me baby
Oh, will you love me baby
When the money's gone
Money, money, money's gone
When the money's gone
No more caviar
Will you eat fast food in a beat up car
Live life modestly, lost in lotto dreams
Will you find your way through it all with me
Through it all with me
And a mile off the shore
Flies a bird who'll land no more
As the tide pulls the sea
So you always will pull me
Yeah, I got a reputation
Never had a single thought of settling down
As the train would leave the station
Never shed a single tear just, said my goodbyes
But you touched me deep inside
Now I can't believe
I'm the one who's looking back
As you said goodbye to me
Whenever you're near, I'm in ecstasy
Whenever you're gone, I'm in misery
Don'tcha know that you bring out the best in me
Whenever you're near
Yeah, 'cause my share of sorrow
I walked off on promises and love's passed me by
But now you've turned the tables
See you make me feel as though it's my turn to die
There's a little girl inside
Who's lost on her way
Only you can bring me back
I know you know the words to say
Whenever you're near, I'm in ecstasy
Whenever you're gone, I'm in misery
Don'tcha know that you bring out the best in me
Whenever you're near
I feel your chemistry, boy watcha do to me
I lose all control
And when the morning comes, yeah, you loved and gone
Don'tcha know I need it over and over and over and over again
Yeah, you touched me deep inside
Now I can't say no
Dragged my heart around
I'm never gonna let you go
Whenever you're near, I'm in ecstasy
Whenever you're gone, I'm in misery
Boy, you don't understand whatcha do to me
Whenever you're near, I'm in ecstasy
Whenever you're gone, I'm in misery
Don'tcha know that you bring out the best in me
Telling me you don't want to be here, had enough of life
I see your shoulders falling down the mountain
You once loved to climb
Don't you want to talk about it?
Well, saying, there's no life left inside you
What about your loves, what about your dreams?
What about the change tomorrow brings?
What about the moonlight?
What about the way you sigh when it touches you?
On your knees in the teeth of failure
It's got you gagged and bound
You say it's killing you, but listen now I'm tellin' you
Your better days are to come?
Set your sights on simple beauty
Like the way that my eyes shine when I'm around you
What about your loves, what about your dreams?
What about the change tomorrow brings?
What about the moonlight?
What about the way you sigh when it touches you?
Nobody said it would be easy
To take the fall and stand
Just wrap your arms tight around me
And we'll stumble together, until we learn to dance
What about your loves, what about your dreams?
What about the change tomorrow brings?
What about the moonlight?
What about the way you sigh when it touches you?
What about your loves, what about your dreams?
What about the change tomorrow brings?
What about the moonlight?
What about the way you sigh when it touches you?
What about your loves, what about your dreams?
What about the change tomorrow brings?
What about the moonlight?
Somebody, somewhere turns off the lights
Somebody all alone faces the night
You got to be strong when you're out on your own
'Cause sooner or later we all sleep alone
Nobody, nowhere holds the key to your heart
When love's a possession, it'll tear you apart
You may have lovers wherever you roam
But sooner or later, oh, we all sleep alone
Oh, he young and the young at heart waits
But the wait never ends in the soul
When you feel like it's all blown away
Independence has come and into the night I go
Don't make no promises that I can't keep
I won't be no prisoner of somebody's needs
You may have lovers wherever you roam
But sooner or later, ooh, we all sleep alone
Ooh, we all sleep alone
Yeah, yeah, we all sleep alone, yeah
And I know, and I know how you feel
What you're thinkin', what you're saying to me
Crash the car, this road is going nowhere fast
Burn the bed, where we once laid
And close the door, there's nothing left to say
Walk the streets I know the way, I know the way
Did you wonder how we got to this place
And as I watched my world go walking out the door
I see, I won the peace but I have lost the war
That love is give and sometimes take
Next time I won't make the same mistake
Break the chains, they couldn't hold you anyway
Pray to God, this too will pass
Raise your glass to old acquaintances and friends
Talk to me 'cause I can bend, I can bend
Did you ever think that we'd turn out this way
And as I watch my world go walking out the door
I see, I've won the peace but I have lost the war
And I know, I know that love is give and love is take
Next time, baby, I won't make the same mistake, same mistake
Did you wonder how we got to this place
And as I watched my world go walking out the door
I see, I won the peace but I have lost the war
And I know, I know I know that love is give and sometimes take
Oh, next time I won't make the same mistake
Love is sometimes give and sometimes take
Does he love me? I want to know
How can I tell if he loves me so?
(Is it in his eyes?)
Oh no, you'll be deceived
(Is it in his eyes?)
Oh no, he'll make believe
If you want to know
(Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop)
If he loves you so
(Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop)
It's in his kiss
(That's where it is)
(Or is it in his face?)
Oh no, it's just his charms
(In his warm embrace?)
Oh no, that's just his arms
If you want to know
(Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop)
If he loves you so
(Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop)
It's in his kiss
(That's where it is)
Oh, it's in his kiss, that's where it is
Woah, hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is, it's there in his kiss
(How about the way he acts?)
Oh no, that's not the way
And you're not listenin' to all I say
If you want to know
(Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop)
If he loves you so
(Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop)
It's in his kiss
(That's where it is)
Oh, it's in his kiss, that's where it is
Woah, hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is, it's there in his kiss
(How about the way he acts?)
Oh no, that's not the way
And you're not listenin' to all I say
If you want to know
(Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop)
If he loves you so
(Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop)
It's in his kiss
(That's where it is)
Oh, it's in his kiss
(That's where it is)
Oh yeah, it's in his kiss, that's where it is
It's in his kiss, that's where it is
It's in his kiss, that's where it is
It's in his kiss, that's where it is
It's in his kiss, that's where it is
It's in his kiss, that's where it is
It's in his kiss, that's where it is
Everyone was watching
You were the freakiest thing on show
dazzle in the crystal ball
They all love to watch it glow
You were the center of attention
The eye of the storm
A whirlwind from outer space
Like a twister on the scene
The music's no good without you baby
The music's no good at all
The music's no good without you baby
Come back to me
Mesmerize them when we danced
Cause you sparkle next to me
We sit along the razor's edge
But you were crazy to be free
I - agonize till you'll come back
And we'll dance that close again
I miss you boy, I really do
Come back to me
Come back to me
Cause my world stopped spinning
Nothing I can do
So I pray that a DJ lifts my heart
But I know you don't need me anymore
And it's no good me dwelling on the past
I have to live each day
You came on to me a house of fire
One look was all it took for my desire
I'm still burnin'
It's the middle of the night
I need somethin'
That can make me feel alright as I go
Skin deep, to the bone
Every time I see your face
Skin deep, to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble
S.O.S.
I'm in distress, tonight
Knock knock in the dark, what will I find?
Your eyes, hypnotize but can they read my mind
Watch your step now
We're gettin' closer to the edge
This is dangerous
And all the lights are flashin' red as I go
Skin deep, to the bone
Every time I see your face I go
Skin deep, to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble
Skin deep, to the bone
Every time I hear your voice I go
Skin deep, to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble
Too far gone
I can't hold on, tonight, not tonight
Skin deep, skin deep
I'm still burnin'
It's the middle of the night
I need someone
Who can make me feel alright as I go
Skin deep, to the bone
Every time I see your face I go
Skin deep, to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble
Skin deep, to the bone
Every time I see your face I go
Skin deep, to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble
Skin deep, to the bone
Every time I hear your voice I go
Skin deep, to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble
Spent a lifetime
Finally found someone
Gave him all that I had
In love, 'til the dream was gone
An' I was losing myself
Out in the darkness, alone
But the night made me strong
And I learned to let go
Time mends the heart
You turn the page, somehow
Oh, there's no lookin' back
The hurtin's behind you now
Startin' over again
On a second time around, coming back to win
(Ooo)
Startin' over again
Take the first step an' let it begin
Startin' over, startin' over
Memories haunt you
Feelings you won't forget
Learn to live a lesson in love
Walk away without regrets
Oh, never deny
The fear that your heart defends
Oh, find your way out
Just when you've reached the end
Startin' over again
No one's gonna count you out, when the heat is on
(Ooo)
Startin' over again
Gotta come back and turn it around
Startin' over
Take another look inside
Where you always had the fight
Never dreamed of givin' up
Never, no lookin' back
Startin' over again
Come a second time around, coming back to win
(Ooo)
Startin' over again
Take the first step an' let it begin
Startin' over again
Come a second time around, coming back to win
(Ooo)
Startin' over again
Take the first step an' let it begin
All these streets are never ending
Tie them in a knot
Drive me through a red light waiting
For everyone to stop
Sing to me like Pavarotti
Sing to me of Spain
Take me to your operetta
And make it rain
Taxi, taxi give me a ride
I'm going to take you
To the other side
Taxi, taxi turn off you light
I'm going to ride with you all night
Take me to your meditation
Take me to your door
Show me love's sweet revelation
Lying on your floor
Hold me in your arms forever
Take me to the end
Drive me to the edge of nowhere
And sing again
Taxi, taxi give me a ride
I'm going to take you
To the other side
Taxi, taxi turn off you light
I'm going to ride with you all night
You're as cool as Colorado
And Orpheus on fire
Crash the car into a rainbow
Here with me tonight
All the satellites are shining
In the starry sky
I can feel your arms surround me
Higher and higher
Taxi, taxi give me a ride
I'm going to take you
To the other side
Taxi, taxi turn off you light
I'm going to ride with you all night
Taxi, Taxi
Taxi, Taxi
Sing to me like Pavarotti
Sing to me
Taxi, taxi give me a ride
I'm going to take you
To the other side
Taxi, taxi turn off you light
I'm going to ride with you all night
Taxi, Taxi give me a ride...
...I'm gonna ride with you all night
Taxi, Taxi (I'm gonna ride with you all night)
I'm gonna ride with you all night.
I'm gonna ride with you all night.
I'm gonna ride with you all night.
Taxi, Taxi (I'm gonna ride with you all night)
Taxi, Taxi
I'm gonna ride with you all night (Taxi, Taxi)
I'm gonna ride with you all night!
I'm gonna ride with you all night...
I'm all through with lovin' you
Wasting my precious time on you
Gonna walk away, walk out,
Kiss this love goodbye
Ain't no words you're gonna say
Gonna change my mind
I don't deserve all the hurt,
Won't put up with the pain
Been too many lies baby,
Too many games
So I'm taking back my heart
Takin' back my heart, yeah
Repossessin' my affection
Takin' back my heart
Because baby, baby, baby
Don't belong to you no more
What did I ever see in you
How could I be so blind a fool
Gonna walk away, walk out,
Take my love and leave
Gonna save it up for somebody
Who really loves me
You don't deserve me around,
And now I'm gonna go
Kiss me goodbye baby,
I'm out the door
Takin' back my heart
Takin' back my heart, yeah
Repossessin' repossessin' my affection
Oh . . . yeah takin' back my heart
Because baby, baby, baby'
Don't belong to you no more
Given up all the pain
Packin' up till my pride
I've got one word to say
And that word is goodbye
If you'd just realized
Good love don't come for free
Hush little Baby, gotta be strong
'Cause in this world we are born to fight
Be the best, prove them wrong
A winner's work is never done, reach the top, number one
Oh, perfection
You drive me crazy with perfection
I've worn my pride as my protection
Perfection, ohh
I was taught to be tough
That the best that you can be ain't enough
Crack the whip, sacrifice
But I found out paradise had a price
I didn't know it then, but oh I know it now
You gotta work as hard as love to make the love work out
You know this heart of mine has made some big mistakes
I guess that when it comes to love, I just don't know what I takes
All my life I've been driven by perfection
Pushed it to the limit every day and night
Ohh, I've been driven by perfection
But nothing's perfect when love ain't right
Nothing's perfect when the love ain't right
Gave it all, played my part
I gave everything I had but my heart
Worked so hard, made a name
But the loneliness inside stays the same
When love is here today, and then it's gone today
You got a list of lovers lookin' like a resume
You gotta take some time to make it something real
I guess that when it comes to love, I just don't know how to feel
All my life I've been driven by perfection
Pushed it to the limit every day and night
Ohh, I've been driven by perfection
But nothing's perfect when love ain't right
Nothing's perfect when the love ain't right
Oh, perfection
You drive me crazy with perfection
I've worn my pride as my protection
I'm goin' crazy with perfection
Ohh, I didn't know it then, but oh I know it now
You gotta work as hard as love to make the love work out
You know this heart of mine has made some big mistakes
I guess that when it comes to love, I just don't know what I takes
I've been driven by perfection
Pushed it to the limit every day and night
Ohh, I've been driven by perfection
But nothing's perfect when love ain't right
All my life I've been driven by perfection
Pushed it to the limit every day and night
Ohh, I've been driven by perfection
But nothing's perfect when love ain't right
All my life I've been driven by perfection
Pushed it to the limit every day and night
Ohh, I've been driven by perfection
But nothing's perfect when love ain't right
My love's imagination is running wild over you
And I feel the desperation of not knowing what to do
Don't know enough about you the words are hard to find
Can't think of life without you it's messing up my mind
Say the word
And I'll be there right by your side
To keep our love alive together we will survive
If you just say the word
No matter where I'll find the time
Of people who don't wanna see the love of you and me
My love's infatuation keeps carrying me away
Do I sense anticipation with every thing that you say
But I wonder should I doubt you
When you make things so unclear
Why can't you say I love you
It's all I wanna hear
Say the word
And I'll be there right by your side
To keep our love alive together we will survive
If you just say the word
And I'll declare time won't divide
Two people who just wanna be in love eternally
I just know it when I hold you in my arms
You show me that you love me when you smile
You love me why do you back away
If it's real let me know it when you hold me in your arms
And I show you that I loved you all the while
Say you love me and I'll never back away
Say the word
And I'll be there right by your side
To keep our love alive together we will survive
If you just say the word
And I'll declare time won't divide
Two people who just wanna be in love eternally
Say the word
And I'll be there right by your side
To keep our love alive together we will survive
If you just say the word
And I'll declare time won't divide
Here, here in this world
Where do we go? Where can we turn?
When we need some love
It seems that love just can't be found
Where, where do we stand?
When love's supply don't meet love's demand
We got enough stars to light the sky at night
Enough sun to make to make the whole world bright
We got more than enough
But there's one thing there's just not enough of
Not enough love and understanding
We could use some love to ease these troubled times
Not enough love and understanding
Why, oh why?
Spend all of our time
Building buildings up to the sky
Reaching everywhere
But where we need to reach the most
Hearts never can win
Oh, in this race, this race that we're in
We've got enough cars to drive around the world
Enough planes to take us anywhere
We got more than enough
But there's one thing there's just not enough of
Not enough love and understanding
We could use some love to ease these troubled times
Not enough love and understanding
Why, oh why?
Not enough love and understanding
We could use some love to ease these troubled times
Not enough love and understanding
Why, oh why?
We need some understandin'
We need a little more love
Some love and understandin'
Enough stars to light the sky at night
Enough sun to make the whole world bright
Enough hearts to find some love inside
We got more than enough
But there's one thing there's just not enough of
Not enough love and understanding
We could use some love to ease these troubled times
Not enough love and understanding
Why, oh why?
Mama, when my dollies have babies
And I am a big lady
Mama, will a prince come and take me away?
When I said these things, I believed in kings
Then I didn't know love could hurt me so
Slowly she replied, tears had filled her eyes
Baby, not so fast, let your young life last
Mama, when my dollies have babies
And I am a big lady
Mama, will a prince come and take me away?
I sang to her in fun, my teens had just began
My age was not the same, still we played this game
Her eyes were filled with pride, slowly she replied
Soon enough you'll be a very pretty bride
Mama, when my dollies have babies
And I am a big lady
Mama, will the hurt go away deep inside
When I sang this song, my poor world had gone along
All my early dreams has turned to crystal streams
My love, it last and more tears have past
And left me just one thing, a tender voice that sing
Mama, when my dollies have babies
And I am a big lady
Well, I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
The don't abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it, oh, oh, oh
Well, I never been to England
But I kinda like the Beatles
Well, I headed for Las Vegas
Only made it out to Needles
Can you feel it?
Must be real
It feels so good
It feels so good
Well, I never been to Heaven
But I been to Oklahoma
Well, they tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember
In Oklahoma, not Arizona
What does it matter
Oh, what does it matter
Well, I never been to England
But I kinda like the Beatles
Well, I headed for Las Vegas
Only made it out to Needles
Oh, can you feel it?
Must be real it
It feels like music
It feels so good
Well, I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
Oh, they don't abuse it
Well, they never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it, oh oh
Well, I never been to Heaven
But I been to Oklahoma
Well, they tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember
Oh, in Oklahoma, not Arizona
What, what does it matter
I feel something in the air
Something that was never there
I feel something starting to live in me
Something only God could give to me
Could give to me
I feel magic every where
Even though, I'm supposed to care
About all the things that my neighbors will think of me
And how I should act when they said
What a nice girl I used to be, I used to be
My mom will say, "My God, what've you done
I told you that boy was only a fun"
My daddy will raise like a storm on the sea
Say now look what you've done to me
Even though I care, I feel magic in the air
What's a matter with you baby
Did you fall too hard when you fall in love?
You fall in love
What's a matter with you baby
Did you fall too hard?
I feel magic every where
Even though, I'm supposed to care
About all the things that my neighbors will think of me
And how I should act when they said
Everybody needs a little tenderness
Everybody needs a release
From the cell they lock themselves in
Love's the only peace
Everybody needs
Everybody Cries
Everybody Bleeds
Everybody Dies
Everybody Dreams
Everybody Wakes
Everybody makes mistakes
Love one another
Sisters and brothers
Love one another
Love one another
Father and mother
Love one another
It's easier to walk away when you've
Got a wounded pride
When two people stand together
That's how they heal inside
Try to understand
Open up your heart
A fist is just a hand
It can come apart
Let go of the past, let go of the fight
Forgiving fills the world with light
Love one another
Sisters and brothers
Love one another
Love one another
Father and mother
Love one another
We were given a world so beautiful
A deep ocean, a blue-blue sky
I know we can make it a better place
If only you and I
Love one another
Sisters and brothers
Love one another
Love one another
Father and mother
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
And you'd stay
I don't know why I did the things I did
I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife, it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't wanna see you go
I know I made you cry
But baby
If I could turn back time, if I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
You'd stay if I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you, then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do, if I could turn back time
My world was shattered, I was torn apart
Like somebody took a knife
And drove it deep in my heart
When you walked out that door
I swore that I didn't care
But I lost everything darling then and there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind and darling
If I could turn back time, if I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
And you'd stay if I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do, if I could turn back time
If I could turn back time, if I could turn back time
If I could turn back time, oh baby
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't wanna see you go, I know I made you cry
If I could turn back time, if I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
And if I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do, if I could turn back time
(Turn back time)
If I could find a way
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
You'd stay
Does he love me, I wanna know
How can I tell if he loves me so
(Is it in his eyes) oh no, you'll be deceived
(Is it in his eyes) oh no, he'll make believe
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss (that’s where it is, oh yeah)
(Or is it in his face) oh no, it's just his charm
(In his warm embrace) oh no, that's just his arms
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss (that’s where it is)
Oh it’s in his kiss (that’s where it is)
Oh, hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you wanna know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss
(How ‘bout the way he acts) oh no, that's not the way
And you're not listening to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss (that’s where it is)
Oh it’s in his kiss (that’s where it is)
Oh, hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you wanna know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss
(How ‘bout the way he acts) oh no, that's not the way
And you're not listening to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss (that’s where it is)
Oh it’s in his kiss (that’s where it is)
Oh yeah, it’s in his kiss (that’s where it is)
It’s in his kiss (that’s where it is)
It’s in his kiss (that’s where it is)
It’s in his kiss (that’s where it is)
It’s in his kiss (that’s where it is)
Don?t make no difference
If you lay down and cry
You know that you lied to me
And if you come to me
With tears in your eyes
Don?t say goodbye just leave
'Cause I?m in the middle of something
I don?t understand
How can my reasons for living
Slip right through my hands?
I?m in the middle of something
I don?t understand
And it looks like I lose again
Don?t make no difference
What you think of me
You know that I?m restless and afraid
And if you love me, I know that you will see
You can?t keep me
To the promises that I made
'Cause I?m in the middle of something
I don?t understand
How can my reasons for living
Slip right through my hands?
I?m in the middle of something
I don?t understand
And it looks like I lose again
Don?t make no difference
What you think about me
After all you took me for a ride
Now every night with you
I still seem to find
I just can?t keep you satisfied
Oh, I?m in the middle of something
I don?t understand
How can my reasons for living
Slip right through my hands?
I?m in the middle of something
I don?t understand
And it looks like I lose again
I?m in the middle of something
I don?t understand
How can my reasons for living
Last night I was in heaven
Today I'm still on a cloud
In his arms I was in heaven
I didn't know what it was all about
When he walked out the hurt walked in
I guess that I just wasn't ready for love
Last night I thought it was a game
Today I feel so ashamed
If he only knew how I need him again
I know that he would come and ease my pain
When he walked out the hurt walked in
I guess that I wasn't ready for love
He said that he loved me
He told me he'd protect me
He told me he needed me
But I was too blind to see
I was to blind to see
Last night I was in heaven
Today I'm still on a cloud
In his arms I was in heaven
But it was hell when he walked out
When he walked out the hurt walked in
I guess that I wasn't ready for love
I wasn't ready
You have a date for half passed eight tonight
Some distant bell starts chiming nine
You wanna see her oh you wanna see her, oh, yeah
But you wait, you wait and wait
Girl don't come
The time rolls on, those minutes fly by
You wanna go, but just you try guy
You wanna see her oh you wanna see her, oh, yeah
But you wait, you wait and wait
Girl don't come
You've been stood up, tears fill your eyes, whoa
You hurt inside, you wanna die
You had a date for half passed eight tonight
Some distant bell starts chiming nine
You wanna see her, you wanna see her, oh, yeah
So you wait, you wait and wait
Girl don't come
You've been stood up, tears fill your eyes, whoa
You hurt inside, you wanna die
You wanna see her oh you wanna see her, oh, yeah
But you wait, you wait and wait
Girl don't come
Girl don't come, girl don't come
Girl don't come, girl don't come
I know you're a gamester
I'm the queen of spades
A ruler of hearts, I shoot the moon
I take my trips right from the start
I'm a sucker for love
Joker running wild
My heart it can break
Ooh, it can break
Frail as a child
Whatever it is, it is
Whatever will be, it's gonna be
Whoever you are, you are
But those games that you play
Don't cha play 'em with me
You're a visionary dreamer
A fool, leaving things to chance
Love is a hazard, ooh, such a hazard
When you flirt with romance
It's like shootin' the dice
Flip a coin in the air
You running on luck
Odds are against you
You're not playing fair
Whatever it is, it is
Whatever will be, it's gonna be
Whoever you are, you are
But those games that you play
Don't cha play 'em with me
Stacking a deck, dealing the cards
Watch what you take
Standing on love
Whatever it is, it is
Whatever will be, it's gonna be
Whoever you are, you are
But those games that you play
Don't cha play 'em with me
Those games that you play
I'm leaving in the quiet early morning
When night has left the sky before the dew is dry
But it's not like it used to be I'm leaving you this warning
You're gonna live to see the day you long for me
Come to your window
It ain't too late to come into your side again
Don't make me believe you before you let me have a chance to try again
Or I'll be gone before you ever know you're losing me
I know, I've made mistakes that bought you sorrow
But baby, keep in mind, you're not right all the time
Don't let me go away to face a new tomorrow
Back where you bought me from when I was glad to come
Come to your window
Look down and see the teardrops in my desperate eyes
Look how I need you, I got to find a way to make you realize
That you are casting out the deepest love you'll ever know
Please don't close your ears to what I'm saying
Before I ride away into the early day
I spent the lonesome evening hours praying
That you will change your mind and try me one more time
Come to your window
Before our love comes crashing into pieces on the ground
Don't let it happen, I promise you this time, I'll never let you down
Give me a cause to come to your lonesome arms again
Come to your window
Look down and see the teardrops in my desperate eyes
Look how I need you, I've got to find a way to make you realize
They say that every thing you do
Turns out all wrong
That you're bound to lose
And you love me too much
Take me along
Ah baby don't ever try to close a rose
After it blooms to the tuned
Of a spring time day
It won't work any way
'Cos once it knows the sun it grows
And keeps on growing
Knowing it must say goodbye
To the field and the sky
So don't you worry about me
You could never make me unhappy
Cause we both have been touched
By the spring time sun
We already won
As long as you want me
I'll be right there
But with a life time of hard times
We gotta love
Babe we can share
Ah baby don't ever try to close a rose
After it blooms to the tuned
Of a spring time day
It won't work any way
'Cos once it knows the sun it grows
And keeps on growing
Knowing it must say goodbye
To the field and the sky
Ah baby don't ever try to close a rose
After it blooms to the tuned
Of a spring time day
It won't work any way
'Cos once it knows the sun it grows
And keeps on growing
Knowing it must say goodbye
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can’t break through
There’s no talking to you
So sad that you’re leaving
Takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You’re gonna be the lonely one, oh
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
What am I supposed to do
Sit around and wait for you
Well I can’t do that
And there’s no turning back
I need time to move on
I need love that feels strong
Cos I’ve got time to think it through
And maybe I’m too good for you, oh
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Well I know that I’ll get through this
Cos I know that I am strong
And I don’t need you any more
No I don’t need you any more
I don’t need you any more
No I don’t need you any more
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
After love
After love
After love
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you
It's so sad that you're leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one, oh
Do you believe in life after love?
Do you believe in life after love?
Do you believe in life after love?
Do you believe in life after love?
What am I supposed to do
Sit around and wait for you
Well, I can't do that
And there's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need love to feel strong
'Cause I've got time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you, oh
Do you believe in life after love?
Do you believe in life after love?
Do you believe in life after love?
Do you believe in life after love?
After love
After love
After love
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
And I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
No, I don't need you anymore
And I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
No, I don't need you anymore
And I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
Boys, go and shine up your shoes
Girls, run and powder your nose
'Cause tonight you'll be shaking
From your head down to your toes
Well feeling your cool is as good as looking it
Thinking you're cool is as good as knowing it
Playing it cool is as good as blowing it
You know you can't spend a dollar, if you
Ain't got a dime
You can't hook a fish if you ain't got a line
You won't catch the bus if you're not there in time
So go read up your books and sharpen your hooks
Then all you need is money
And a mouth full of honey
And if you play your cards right
After dancing all night
You won't have to walk home alone
You won't have to walk home alone
Boys, you can hang loose and slip up real cool
But if your lady has a love noose she might never let you go
And if you think maybe you're too young
And you just can't cope, just grab a razor sharp
Pair of cutting shears and cut a hole right in the rope
Snip a hole right in the rope
Boys, go and shine up your shoes
Girls, run and powder your nose
'Cause tonight you'll be shaking
From your head down to your toes
Well if you wake up tomorrow morning
Can't remember what you did
Just ring up some of your friends
And they'll tell you just how low you slid
Oh don't be ashamed of anything you hear
After all you can't be blamed when you're drinking
So much beer
Hey, don't worry that what you did just wasn't right
Just remember, brothers and sisters
After every day's another night
After every day's another night
Boys, go and shine up your shoes
Girls, run and powder your nose
'Cause tonight you'll be shaking
From your head down to your toes
Boys, go and shine up your shoes
Girls, run and powder your nose
'Cause tonight you'll be shaking
Behind the door of every house
In every street, in every town
A story is unfolding
A story is unfolding of love and hate
The most of us wait of hopes and fears
Of smiles and tears of dreams that lie a moldering
Behind the door of every house
In every street, in every town
The stage is set for playing
The stage is set for playing
And I call crime or punch you're mime
Sweet romance, a rich will dance the characters are playing
Behind the door of every house
In every street, in every town
The people are a waiting
The people are a waiting
To bare and die, the years go by
The wedding spree, the cruelty and still they go on mating
And to the one the only one
Remember when the need of man is great again
The prayers take off ascending
All filled with love to the one above
Asking for, asking for, asking for, asking for
Bang bang you shot me down
Bang bang I hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang my baby shot me down
I was five and you were six
We rode on horses made of sticks I wore black you wore white
You would always win the fight
Bang bang you shot me down
Bang bang I hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang my baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the time I grew up I called you mine
You would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play
Bang bang you shot me down
Bang bang I hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang my baby shot me down
Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
After echoes from a gun
We both vowed that we'd be one
Now you're gone I don't know why
Sometimes I cry
You didn't say goodbye
You didn't take the time to lie
Bang bang you shot me down
Bang bang I hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
What if the world was crazy and I was sane
Would it be so strange
I can't believe that I am alone in saying
The things I'm saying
I am - part of you
These are - universal truths
We're all - part of the light that flows through everything
This is a different kind of love song
Dedicated to everyone
Different kind of love song, - oh, oh
This is a different kind of love song
A higher plane we can go on
Different kind of love song - oh, oh
What if the world calmed down and we could all breathe
Together easily
Connecting the sky and the ground with you and me
And everything in between
I am - part of you
We have - living proof
There is - some kind of light that flows through everything
This is a different kind of love song
Ooh, Ooh
This is a different kind of love song
A higher plain we can flow on
Different kind of love song
This is a different kind of love song
Ooh, A love song
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
This is a different kind of love song
Dedicated to everyone
Different kind of love song
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
This is a different kind of love song
A higher plane we can go on
Different kind of love song
Ooh, oh oh - Ooh, oh, oh
This is a different kind of love song
This is a different kind, a different kind
of love song
What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie
Then I guess it's wise to be cruel
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie
what will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a Heaven above, Alfie
I know there's something much more
Something even non-believers can believe in
I believe in love, Alfie
Without true love we just exist, Alfie
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie
When you walk let your heart lead the way
Oh say can you see
By the dawn’s early lights
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight’s last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming
And the rocket’s red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
Oh say does that star
Spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free
Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody gives you guarantees
'Cos a heart can always be broken
And there can be no loving without tears
Runaway to a place where nobody knows
Runaway gotta let this feeling go
Runaway if I can't find love,
I'm gonna runaway
Nobody's looking for perfection
How could they give it in return
But I told my heart to believe you
And you just gave your love to anyone
Runaway to a place where nobody knows
Runaway gotta let this feeling go
Runaway and I don't want to hurt anymore
Though my heart is always aching
If I can't find love,
Every place that we ever knew
Just a time we held on to
Every space that we ever made
Just a piece of ourselves we saved
Every light that we ever held
Just the fire from a dark, dark spell
Every love that we ever crave
Just a thing to be kept and caged
(And sometimes)
Ooh, you take it all
Like the sea takes the land from under my feet
(And sometimes)
Ooh, you take it all
Like the sea takes the land from under my feet
Every dream that we ever ride
Just a place for our souls to hide
Every fear that we ever chase
Just the fear of the truth we face
(And sometimes)
Ooh, you take it all
Like the sea takes the land from under my feet
(And sometimes)
Ooh, you take it all
Feeling broken
Barely holding on
But there's just something so strong
Somewhere inside me
And I am down but I'll get up again
Don't count me out just yet
I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me
You haven't seen the last of me
They can say that
I won't stay around
But I'm gonna stand my ground
You're not gonna stop me
You don't know me
You don't know who I am
Don't count me out so fast
I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me
There will be no fade out
This is not the end
I'm down now
But I'll be standing tall again
Times are hard but
I was built tough
I'm gonna show you all what I'm made of
I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed right past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
I am far from over
You haven't seen the last of me
No no
I'm not going nowhere
I'm staying right here
Oh no
You won't see me fade out
I'm not taking my bow
Can't stop me
It's not the end
You haven't seen the last of me
Oh no
You haven't seen the last of me
I don't need your sympathy
There's nothing you can say or do for me
And I don't want a miracle
You'll never change for no-one
And I hear your reasons why
Where did you sleep last night?
And was she worth it, was she worth it?
Cause I'm strong enough to live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying
Long enough, now I'm strong enough
To know you gotta go
There's no more to say
So save your breath and walk away
No matter what I hear you say
I'm strong enough to know you gotta go
So you feel misunderstood
Baby have I got news for you
On being used, I could write a book
But you don't wanna hear about it
Cause I've been losing sleep
And you've been going cheap
And she ain't worth half of me, it's true
Now I'm telling you
That I'm strong enough to live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying
Long enough, now I'm strong enough
To know you gotta go
Come hell or waters high
You'll never see me cry
This is our last goodbye, it's true
I'm telling you
Now I'm strong enough to live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying
Long enough, now I'm strong enough
To know you gotta go
There's no more to say
So save your breath and walk away
No matter what I hear you say
I'm strong enough to know you gotta go
Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy, won't you look down over me?
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a girl can be
Then I'm walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Saw the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
I watched him walk right through
Now security, they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
There's a pretty little thing waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room
When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
(Walk)
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel?
They got catfish on the table
They got gospel in the air
Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
Boy, you've got a prayer in Memphis
Now Gabriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see him
They asked me if I would
Do a little number?
And I sang with all my might
He said, "Tell me, are you a Christian, child?"
And I said, "Man, I am tonight"
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
(Walk)
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
(Walk)
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Put on my blue suede shoes
When you're talkin' in your sleep
And the name that you whisper ain't mine
And I've finally faced the fact
That you're cheatin' on me one more time
When my anger starts to rumble
And my steam starts to rise
And the wheels keep turning faster
As I think of all your lies
Oh, that train of thought's runnin' right on time
But it's off the track and I'm losing my mind
'Cause the way you used me is gonna drive me insane, honey
Say you'll never leave me
For God's sake stop the train
Oh, the camel's back is broken
By the one extra straw added on
And the woman can't see reason
When her last ray of sunshine is gone
There's a finger on the trigger
And that locomotive sound
And I think how much I love you
And I turn the gun around
Oh, that train of thought's runnin' right on time
But it's off the track and I'm losing my mind
And you hold me the last time as I try to explain, honey
Don't feel bad about me
I just had to stop this train
Gotta get off, gotta get off
Gotta get off, gotta get off
Gotta get off, gotta get off, this train of thought
Gotta get off, gotta get off
Gotta get off, gotta get off the train of thought
Gotta get off, gotta get off, gotta get off the train
Gotta get off, gotta get off this train
Gotta get off, gotta get off the train of thought
A king is crying from his throne
He had a queen but now she's gone
What is this magic that we seek
The mighty strong to mighty weak
Every good girl hears it
Every bad boy fears it
No matter what I see
I believe, I believe
The power touches me
The power sets us free
The power holds my hand
The power drives me crazy
A flowers grows, an old man dies
And through it all we still survive
A poor man dreams but no one hears
Ain't nothing changed much through the years
Every bad day needs it
Every good day breeds it
No matter how it feels
When it's real you know it's real
It's stronger than anybody
Any man has ever made
The power touches me
The power helps us see
The power holds my hand, yeah
The power drives me crazy
It won't take long to understand
Just how lucky I am
Open up your eyes and see
It won't take long to understand
Just how lucky I am
Every good boy needs it
Every bad girl breeds it
No matter how I feel
Oh, when it's real you know its real
It's stronger than anybody
Any man has ever made
The power holds my hand, yeah
Drives me crazy
The power sets us free, yeah
The power holds my hand, yeah
The power drives me crazy
And I believe and you believe
And we believe that everybody's gonna be alright
Alright in just my mind
Power
Power
Power
When I enter a room
I will only sit facing the door
It's love I'm looking for as I search every face
I start to wonder is this the place?
For love is a gunman and no mercy has he
He'll hunt you down until the day death sets you free
Love is a gunman and he's coming to town
You'll meet his glaze both barrels blaze staring you down
Love is the gunman and no mercy has he
This time his sights are set on me
You can run, you can hide
You can even saddle up and ride
But love won't be deny you can wear a disguise
But it isn't fooled by alibis
For love is a gunman and no mercy has he
He'll hunt you down until the day death sets you free
Love is a gunman and he's coming to town
You'll met his glaze both barrels blaze staring you down
Love is the gunman and no mercy has he
This time his sights are set on me
For love is a gunman, love is a gunman
Love is a gunman and no mercy has he

Ever since my mother took me to a big department store
My heartbeat escalated all the way to the second floor
I couldn't hide my passion for the latest fashion craze
My mama told me that's just another phase I'm going through
Whatcha got that's new?
Shoppin', gonna buy my blues away
Shoppin', I got bad news today
Instead of eating 'cause my man's cheating
Shoppin', I'm gonna take my troubles to town
Shoppin', while everyone else is smokin', token', coken'
Well, I'll be shoppin', hit it, boys
Excuse me Miss, see that, the dress over there?
How many colors does it come in?
Yes, all right, no, I'd like every one
No, I'm not going to try it, I know it'll fit
Ooh, you know what?
Let's go up, oh, they're having a sale
My God, I love sales
No, I don't have a last name
It's just Cher, just plain Cher
Ooh, I like the shoes
Do you think you could this thing
It's all pink and wrinkly it's
What a darling little bag
Shoppin', I'm gonna buy it
Shoppin', I never try it on for size
Shoppin, will I like it
Shoppin', does the color match my eyes?
Folks say I'm daring for what I'm wearing
I'm always scaring the people's staring
So I'm declaring, I'm tired of swearing
I'm just shoppin'
Shoppin', I'm gonna but my blues away
Shoppin', I got bad news today
Shoppin', I'm gonna take my troubles to town
Shoppin', don't need money down
Shoppin', gonna buy my blues away
Shoppin', walking up to the counter and say

Shoppin', charge it, wrap it, send it
Shoppin', instead of eating 'cause my man's cheating

While other people may be smokin', token', coken'

Do you comprehend when I say my love is true, do you
Always - with me - forever, oh baby

And when the lights come up

To put on a show with class
And if I clash it's cause I want to
What a show and I want everyone to know
They're gonna fly up, get an eyeful
Everything that's craved from me
I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be outrageous
Outrageous
(They say) I'm outrageous
It's the rage it's the rage
With my long black hair hanging way down to my
Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies
Don't tell me what to do don't tell me what to be
See I don't trust anybody else's traits about make-up and me
Well in my show I let everything go
Is what you want is whatcha wanna see from me
But when the curtain comes down
And you're on your way back home
I change into my jeans that are split at the seam
I grab my funky black jacket and make quite a racket
You drive like you're an outlaw
Cause everything that's craved from me
I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be outrageous
So outrageous
I'm outrageous honey yes a rage
It's the rage
Outrageous, outrageous
I'm outrageous
It's the rage it's a rage
Outrageous, outrageous
"Oh no", she said, "Dear daddy, daddy"
"Oh no", she said, "Dear daddy, daddy"
"Oh no", she said, "Dear daddy, daddy"
"Oh no", she said, "Dear daddy, dear daddy"
When you pray with every breath
You know, that is free as the love you have
Where does it end?
It's too much for me to take
There's no peace, you close your eyes
I'm all out of truth, I'm out of alibis
Where does it end?
It's too much for me to take
We're gonna love one another till morning comes
Seek the sweet salvation for what we've done
Give up resisting one by one
One by one
He gives a new kind of meaning to what I am
I know that I could never love any other man
One of these days you'll understand
Understand
"Oh no", she said, "Dear daddy, daddy"
"Oh no", she said, "Dear daddy, daddy"
"Oh no", she said, "Dear daddy, daddy"
"Oh no", she said, "Dear daddy, dear daddy"
And his face his heaven sent
He makes me believe there must be something else
Where does it end?
It's too much for me to take
I can feel the need in you
There isn't a thing I won't let you do
Where does it end?
It's too much for me to take
We're gonna love one another till morning comes
Seek the sweet salvation for what we've done
Give up resisting one by one
One by one
He gives a new kind of meaning to what I am
I know that I could never love any other man
One of these days you'll understand
Understand, understand
We're gonna love one another till morning comes
Seek the sweet salvation for what we've done
Give up resisting one by one
One by one
He gives a new kind of meaning to what I am
I know that I could never love any other man
One of these days you'll understand
Understand
We're gonna love one another till morning comes
Sweet salvation for what we've done
Give up resisting one by one
One by one
We're gonna love one another
We're gonna love one another
Raise the window
Its getting hot in here
All these breathers
And all of these suckers
Shake my hand now
Pleased to meet you but
Skin is pretty
But underneath you're a monster
Are we friends now
Am I your brother
Can we bleed together
Are we lovers
Let's sew our pants together
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Let's climb right in forever
6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Then won't we all be so clever
If we sew our pants together
Wake the next morning
One below the waist
But you want poached eggs
And I want to go to the bathroom
What do we do now
What do we make of this
Can my blood flow
Apart from your stitch
Let's sew our pants together
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Let's climb right in forever
6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Then won't we all be so clever
If we sew our pants together
Lets set our hair on fire
Lets throw our hearts in the mire
Lets sell our eggs to any buyer
We've made a liar of desire
Lets sew our pants together
Lets sew our pants together
We've made a liar of desire
We've made a liar of desire
We've made a liar of desire
Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, it holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh love hurts
You’re young, I know, babe even so
I know a thing or two, ooh honey, I’ve learned from you
I’ve really learned a lot, I’ve really learned a lot
Cos love is like a stove, it burns you when it’s hot
Love hurts, ooh love hurts
Some fools rave of happiness, of blissfulness, togetherness
Oh, some fools they fool themselves, I guess
They’re not fooling me
And I know it isn’t true, god I know it isn’t true
Cos love is just a lie and it’s made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh love hurts, ooh love hurts
And I know it isn’t true, oh I know it isn’t true
Love is just a lie and it’s made to make you blue
Cos love hurts, early in the morning it hurts
You're struttin' into town like you're slingin' a gun
Just a small town dude with a big city attitude
Honey are ya lookin' for some trouble tonight
Well all right
You think you're so bad, drive the women folk wild
Shoot 'em all down with the flash of your pearly smile
Honey but you met your match tonight
Oh, that's right
You think you'll knock me off my feet 'til I'm flat on the floor
'Til my heart is cryin' Indian and I'm beggin for more
So come on baby
Come on baby show me what that loaded gun is for
If you can give it I can take it
'Cause if this heart is gonna break it's gonna take a lot to break it I know tonight
Somebody's gonna win the fight
So if you're so tough
Come on and prove it
You heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James
You're an outlaw lover and I'm after your hide
Well you ain't so strong, won't be long 'til your hands are tied
Tonight I'm gonna take you in dead or alive
That's right
You break the laws of love in the name of desire
Take ten steps back cause I'm ready baby
Aim and fire
Baby there's nowhere you gonna run tonight
Ooh that's right
Well you've had your way with love but it's the end of the day
Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag your heart away
So come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby you know there ain't nothing left to say
You think you'll knock me off my feet 'til I'm flat on the floor
'Til my heart is cryin' Indian and I'm beggin for more
So come on baby
Come on baby, come on
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James
They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you
Babe
I got you babe I got you babe
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
Babe
I got you babe I got you babe
I got flowers in the spring I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
So let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
Babe
I got you babe I got you babe
I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
Igot you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you, I won't let go
I got you to love me so
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
Don't you know so many things they come and go
Like your words that once rang true
Just like the love I thought I found in you
And I remember the thunder
Talking 'bout the fire in your eyes
But you walked away when I needed you most
Now maybe baby, maybe baby
I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I’ve been feeling since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Dry your eyes, I never could bear to see you cry
Some day your love will shine through
Show you the feelings that you never really knew
But baby don't you lose that thunder
Talking 'bout the fire in your eyes
You're looking at me, but you still don't believe
But maybe baby, maybe baby
I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I’ve been feeling since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Too long on the border line
Wondering if your love was really mine
But you left me with open eyes
And when I realised
Baby, I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I’ve been feeling since you've been gone
Baby, I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I’ve been feeling since you've been gone
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susan the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn you head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again, now
Where do we draw the line on what's going on
When do we take a stand and demand to know the truth
(Talk is cheap) Won't get the problem solve
(We're in too deep) Not to get it solve
We got the sun for free so explain to me
Why gas is up a dollar I gotta holler holy smoke
Ah they say atomic power could never hurt a flower
Holy smoke
Every quick solution leads to more pollution
Holy smoke
They say they found the answer breathing causes cancer
Holy smoke
All I can say is holy smoke
Why do we turn away from what's going on
We'll ever believe again in those who hide the truth
(Talk is cheap) Won't get the problem solve
(We're in too deep) Not to get it solve
Don't throw it all away, it's easier enough to say
When gas is up a dollar everybody holler holy smoke
They say atomic power could never hurt a flower
Holy smoke
Fifty-five faster could drive us to disaster
Holy smoke
If I would just say go on and shove it
The media would love it
Holy smoke
All I can say is holy smoke
Where do we draw the line
When do we take a stand
Why do we turn away
We'll ever believe again
(Talk is cheap) Won't get the problem solve
(We're in too deep) Not to get it solve
Don't throw it all a way, it's easier enough to say
Why gas is up a dollar I gotta holler holy smoke
Ah they say atomic power could never hurt a flower
Holy smoke
Every quick solution leads to more pollution
Holy smoke
They say they found the answer breathing causes cancer
Holy smoke
Beneath the white fire of the moon
Love's wings are broken all too soon
We never learn hurt together, hurt alone
Don't you sometimes wish your heart was a heart of stone?
We turn the wheel and break the chain
Put steel to steel and laugh at pain
We're dreamers in castles made of sand
The road to Eden's overgrown
Don't you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone?
Look at the headlines, big crowd at the crazy house
Long queue for the joker's shoes
Ten rounds in the ring with love
Do you lose and win or you win and lose?
Sweet rain like mercy in the night
(Lay me down, wash away the sorrow)
Caress my soul and set it right
(Lay me down, show me your tomorrow)
Summer tears, winter and the moment's flown
Don't you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone?
Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone
Get the picture? No room for the innocent
Peak season in lonely town
Knocked out of the ring by love
Are you down and up or up and down?
I ask the river for a sign
(In a dream, we go on together)
How long is love supposed to shine?
(In a dream, diamonds are forever)
But you and I we're hurt together, hurt alone
Don't you sometimes wish your heart was a heart of stone?
Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone
(With a heart of stone you'll be well protected)
Don't you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone?
(With a heart of stone love's not resurrected)
Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone
(With a heart of stone you'll be well protected)
Don't you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone?
(With a heart of stone love's not resurrected)
Mercy, mercy, wish your heart was a heart of stone
My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The indians said I was white by law
The White Man always called me "Indian Squaw"
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
We never settled, went from town to town
When you're not welcome you don't hang around
The other children always laughed at me "Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee"
We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
It's not over till it's over
I heard someone say
Must be a whisper in the wind
'Cause you're too far away
But in my restless sleep
I could swear, I saw you next to me
Sayin' oh, I'm comin' home
You'll never spend another night alone
Remember when love was innocent
There was never a better time
But you know those fires of Eden
Still burn in this heart of mine
The morning's uncertain
It's a nervous day
And I look for a reason
Why I should feel this way
I hear a voice run before
Driftin' through my open door
Sayin' it's alright
We're gonna light those flames tonight
Remember when love was innocent
There was never a better time
But you know those fires of Eden
Still burn in this heart of mine
Remember when love was freedom
We knew we were two of a kind
But you know those fires of Eden
Still burn in this heart of mine
And don't you wonder
How we drifted so far
When we belong to each other
Ooh we were miles apart
And there's a place
That was meant for the two of us
And when you touch the embers
You feel my love as strong as it ever was
Remember when love was innocent
There was still be better times
But you know those fires of Eden
Still burn in this heart of mine
Remember when love was freedom
We knew we were two of a kind
But you know those fires of Eden
Still burn in this heart of mine
Remember when love was innocent
There was still be better times
But you know those fires of Eden
Well I heard enough
And I've seen enough
And I know anough to know
I know a good thing when I see it
And it's a bad thing to let go
Weel I've been around
I've been up and down
Until I bailed out of control
With your world all in motion
Gonna put a ball
And chain on your soul
All those angels running
Picking up the pieces
Putting hearts togheter
Broke long ago
I know a good thing when I see it
And it's a bad thing to let go
We'll always be lovers
With borders of there own
And you may charge across
In a golden chariot
But you will never be at home
'Cause I had dreams
Like distant thunder
I had hope like a prayer unheard
This nothing less than perfect
In a less than perfect world
All those angles running
Picking up the pieces
Putting back togheter
Hearts broke long ago
I know a good thing when I see it
And it's a bad thing to let go
It's a bad thing to let go
You might wake up some morning
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch the fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright, elusive butterfly of love
You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance, through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran searching after something to believe in
You might have seen me runnin'
Through the long abandoned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you, followed close by heavy breathing
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright, elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright, elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
Dov'e L'Amore
Dov'e L'Amore
I cannot tell you of my life
Here is my story
I'll sing a love song
Sing it for you alone
Though you're a thousand miles away
Love's feeling so strong
Come to me baby
Don't keep me waiting
Another night without you here
And I'll go crazy

No other love can take your place
or match the beauty of your face

Don't keep me waiting
Another night without you here
And I'll go crazy
There is no other there is no other
No other love can take your place

Non c'e nessuno

Non c'e nessuno
Non c'e nessuno
Bello come te e ti amo
(as beautiful as you and I love you)
Come to me baby
Come to me baby
Another night without you here
And I'll go crazy
There is no other there is no other
No other love can take your place
or match the beauty of your face
I'll keep on singing til the day
I carry you away
With my love song with my love song
The fortune queen of New Orleans
Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
On the back seat were scratches
From the marks of men, her fortune she had won
Couldn't see through the tinted glass
She said, "Home James" and he hit the gas
I followed her to some darkened room
She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon"
Dark lady laughed and danced
And lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music
Till her brew was done
Dark lady played black magic
Till the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me
Than I knew myself
She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
And mumbled some words that were so strange to me
And then she turned up a two-eyed jack
My eyes saw red but the card still stayed black
She said the man you love is secretly true
To someone else who is very close to you
My advice is that you leave this place
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face
Dark lady laughed and danced
And lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music
Till her brew was done
Dark lady played black magic
Till the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me
Than I knew myself
So I ran home and crawled in my bed
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
Then I remembered her strange perfume
And how I smelled it once in my own room
So I sneaked back and caught her with my man
Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand
The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor
Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore
Dark lady laughed and danced
And lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music
Till her brew was done
Dark lady played black magic
I had a taste of bitter life
At sweet sixteen
I was growing up too fast
If you know what I mean
Met an older man
Who taught me his own way to live
And all I had to do to keep him
Was to give and give
The carousel man
Kept me going around and round
Carousel man always know
That I'd stay around
The carousel man
Wouldn't let me off his merry-go-round
I followed him around in traveling shows
Along the main county lines
Watching him drinking his mind away
Not ever knowing my name at time
Each night when the show closed down
He used to tell me of his dreams
He was wearing new French suits
While I mended my torn jeans
The carousel man
Kept me going around and round
Carousel man always know
That I'd stay around
The carousel man
Wouldn't let me off his merry-go-round
Then one night in Santa Fe
The horses stop going around
There he was my poor rich man
Lying on the Mexico ground
All the sad music of his life
Is still spinning in my mind
The carousel starts up again
And I found my place in life
The carousel man
Kept me going around and round
Carousel man always know
That I'd stay around
The carousel man
Wouldn't let me off his merry-go-round
The carousel man
Kept me going around and round
Carousel man always know
That I'd stay around
The carousel man
Body to body, body to body
Heart to heart
Body to body, body to body
Heart to heart
Looking in your eyes tonight
I can see everything I need
Holding your heart close to mine
Feeling you, breathing you
We melt together, two become as one
Night is burning hotter than the sun
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
I could drown in your eyes
Die in your arms
Live for these moments here in the dark
I don't know where I end
Not sure where you start
When we're body to body, heart to heart
Body to body, heart to heart
Body to body, body to body
Heart to heart
Breathing every breath with you
Next to you is where I need to be
Part of every part of you
Feeling you feeling me
We melt together in a tender kiss
No night has ever been a night like this
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
I could drown in your eyes
Die in your amrs
Live for these moments here in the dark
I don't know where I end
Not sure where you start
When we're body to body, heart to heart
Body to body, heart to heart
Body to body, body to body
I've been standing out in the rain
I've been calling your name
I've got that lonely feeling again
Calling out your name
Do you hear me?
Do you want me?
Baby it's all or nothing now
Don't wanna run and I can't walk out
You're breaking my heart if you leave me now
Don't wanna wait for ever
Who do you think you're fooling?
Who do you think you're fooling?
Baby it's all or nothing
Baby it's all or nothing now
And I've been trying to get to your heart
But I'm chasing shadows
We keep falling further apart
So near and you're so far
Do you care now?
Do you know how?
Baby it's all or nothing now
Don't wanna run and I can't walk out
You're breaking my heart if you leave me now
Don't wanna wait for ever
Who do you think you're fooling?
Who do you think you're fooling?
Baby it's all or nothing
Baby it's all or nothing now
Sometimes when you touch me
I just can't help myself
(Can't help myself)
Desire makes me weak
Desire makes me weak
Do you care now?
Do you know how?
Baby it's all or nothing
I don't wanna run and I can't walk out
You're breaking my heart if you leave me
Don't wanna wait for ever
Baby it's all or nothing now
Don't wanna run and I can't walk out
You're breaking my heart if you leave me now
I don't wanna wait for ever
Who do you think you're fooling?
Who do you think you're fooling?
Baby it's all or nothing
Sometimes a heart has a mind of its own
Sometimes I can tell myself
That I’m better off being alone, sometimes
But this time I can't hide from the thought of it
It's around every corner I turn
Right there in lights, in black and white, staring at me
It's all because of you that I feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because, all because of you
Tonight I can't feel any magic inside
Tonight, cos I can't reach out for the stars
Looking up at the moon on my own
No signs of life, no nothing's right since you've been gone
It's all because of you that I feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because, all because of you
I can't sleep at night
Oh no, I can't sleep at night
And there ain't no rest from this emptiness
Without your love
You don't know what it's like to feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because
It's all because of you that I feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
All because of you, all because of you
It's all because of you that I feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
All because of you, all because of you
All alone
I must stand
Even when I'm running
And it feels, like a dream
I need to awaken from
I believe
When it hurts
We must keep on trying
But I want, And I need
Like a river needs the rain
There's a bridge I need to burn before I leave
I just wanna breathe again
Like a summer's day I need to feel the heat again
I only wanna keep the stone from rolling
I only wanna learn to feel the rain
Then maybe I could stop the leaves from falling
I only wanna learn to freeze the flame
I know I'll be alive again
I wanna be alive again
Here's the night, where's the stars
'Coz I need some guiding
and it cuts, like a knife
as I watch you walk away
There's a bridge I need to burn before I leave
I just wanna live again
Like the stormy rain I need to hear it beat again
'Coz I did my best
Baby who'd have guessed
That I've failed the test
'Coz when love ain't blessed
And it's laid to rest
P: Well here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight
C: I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
P+C:Every journey always brings me back to you
After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
C:It all comes down to me and you
P+C:I guess it's meant to be
P:Forever you and me after all
C:When love is truly right(this time it's truly right)
It lives from year to year
P+C:It changes as it goes
C:And on the way it grows
P+C:But it never disappears
After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
C:It all comes down to me and you
P+C:I guess it's meant to be
P:Forever you and me
P+C:After all
P:Alway just beyong my touch
You know I needed you so much
C:After all, what else is living for?
P+C:Oh, after all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
C:It all comes down to me and you
P+C:I guess it's meant to be
P:Forever you and me
P+C:After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
C:It all comes down to me and you
P+C:I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me

Feeling such a hot street I could find,
Need to have some bad, bad love to make it right.
I used to be a good girl, but no more,
I'm ready, now it's I learn to score,
Guess I know that bad love is my appetite.
I'm gonna find some hot love on the street,
I'll make the fire, then feel the heat,
Ooh, I'm gonna burn my candle at the dance.
I'm wanna meet a bad boy in the night,
Am I blue, ah am I blue
Ain't these tears in these eyes telling you
Am I blue
You'll be too
I said if this plans with your man
Done fell through
Oh there was a time
When I was, when I was he's only one
But look at me and see now
I'm oh I'm the sad, I'm the sad and lonely one
I'm a fool and I'm the only one
Was I gay, was I gay until today
Oh God he's gone, he's gone and we're through
Am I blue
There was a time there was a time
I said there was a time
That I was he's only one
But right now, right now
I'm, I'm the sad of the sad and lonely one
I'm the left behind only one
Am I blue, ah am I blue
Now he's gone and we're through
Am I, am I blue
I was so lonely until I met you
Told myself I'd get by without love
Drowning my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
And I felt like I just had enough
You light up my face
You're jokes and you're smiles
And the way that you came every night
I don't know whatcha got
But I sure glad I found you
Don't get me wrong it sure feels right
Chorus:
Here I am, I'm back on the street again
Here I am, I'm back on my feet again
Surprise at myself for the way that I feel
So happy that you're here with me
Some men that I've known
Have left me with nothing
But I guess that was just meant to be
Chorus
I went down for the count
I was down, I was beat and I was crying
I was caught up in hate
Hiding my face and not trying
I was so lonely until I met you
Told myself I'd get by without love
Drowning my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
And I felt like I just had enough
BUT I CAN'T LOVE YOU MORE
WRITER SONNY BONO
[Chorus:]
More-I don't know how to
More-I die without you
More-and I would stop the world turning
I stop the sun burning
But I can't love you more
More-is there more than a lifetime
More-count the stars in the nighttime
More-I'm already your slave love
That's what I gave love
And I can't love you more
Every breath that I take
My first thought when I wake
Every song I hear
How I feel when you're near
How I feel by your side
How I'm glad I'm alive
Whether winter or spring
Doesn't mean anything
How my home's anywhere
Knowing that I know you care
And how nothing I see
Beyond you and me
Sometimes when I'm down and all alone
Oh, just like a child without a home
The love you give me keeps me hanging on
Oh honey, all I ever need is you
Your my first love your my last
Your my future your my past
And loving you is all I ask
Oh honey, all I ever need is you
Winters come and they go
And we watch the melting snow
Sure as summer follows spring
All the things you do
Give me a reason
To build my world around you
Some men follow rainbows I am told
Some men search for silver, some for gold
I have found my treasure in your soul honey
All I ever need is you
Without love I'd never find a way
Through ups and downs of every single day
I won't sleep at night
Until you say, my honey
All I ever need is you
Oh, honey, honey
My, honey, honey
I won't sleep at night
Until you say, my honey
When the money's gone
Will you be my friend
Float a small row boat till our ship comes in
When the winter nights chill us to the soul
Will you feed the fire
Spin the straw to gold
When the money's gone
When the money's gone
Will you get cold feet
Will you still be there if the ends don't meet
If we're in the red, just forget the green
Take a bus with me
No more limousines
When the money's gone
Will you still want me
Oh what a fine life I give to you
All you ever want
Will you still be there
Will you pull me through when the cash don't come
And if you're mine
Will you still love me wherever we fall
When the money's gone
+Oh, will you want me baby
Oh, will you need me baby
Oh, will you love me baby
When the money's gone
Money, money, money's gone
When the money's gone
No more caviar
Will you eat fast food in a beat up car
Live life modestly, lost in lotto dreams
Will you find your way through it all with me
Through it all with me
And a mile off the shore
Flies a bird who'll land no more
As the tide pulls the sea
So you always will pull me
I LOVE MAKING LOVE TO YOU
DUET BY CHER AND GREG ALLMAN
Aw, feels so fine every time
Ooh, I love making love to you
Anywhere I don't care
Oh, I love making love to you
Oh, the fire in your eyes
Makes my loving temperature rise
And honey sweet ecstasy
Ooh, I love what you're doing to me
Please don't stop
Oh, I think I'm gonna lose control
Honey don't stop
I want you to fill me with your soul
[Chorus:]
Cause there's no lightning and thunder
Any seven wonder mightier
Than what you've got
Keep it up forever
No one does it better, baby
Come and get it while it's hot
Oh, give me more like before
I love making love to you
Makes me feel life is real
Ooh, I love making love to you
Oh, your heart touching mine
Starts the beat of unnatural rhyme
Such a sweet melody
Oh I love what you've given to me
[Chorus]
Give me more like before
Ooh, I love making love to you
Makes me feel life is real
Ooh, I love making love to you
[Chorus x3]
When I look up from my pillow
I dream you are there with me
Though you are far away
I know you always be near to me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I look around me and feel
You are ever so close to me
Those tears that fall from my eyes
Bring back memories of you and me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I was wrong, I was right
I will love you till the day I die
You alone, you alone and no one else
You were meant for me
When morning comes once more
I have the loneliness you left me
Each day drags by until finally
Night time descends on me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
You're looking at him from across the room
Wondering just how it all slipped away so soon
You're looking to find some look in his eyes
That will take you back to yesterday
Don't remember the when or the where or why
All you know is that something has changed inside
And you can't bring it back, no matter how you try
You know it's over, you've got to say goodbye
Such a shame when lovers become strangers
Such a shame when you don't know each other any more
And all the memories that you shared are all that's still there
It's such a shame when lovers become strangers
You can't seem to find the right words to say
And it's too late for talking now, anyway
There's no one to blame, it's just not the same
And it's never gonna be the same again, no
So you're trying to figure out what went wrong
Where does the feeling go when the feeling's gone?
And you pray for the strength just to carry on
You've got to let go of someone you've loved so long
It's such a shame when lovers become strangers
Such a shame when you don't know each other any more
And all the memories that you shared are all that's still there
It's such a shame when lovers become strangers
So kiss him goodbye, try to walk away
With your head held high
Think about the good times, don't cry, don't cry
Though it's tearing you apart inside
It's such a shame, such a shame
And you can't bring it back, no matter how you try
You got to let go, you've gotta say goodbye
Such a shame when lovers become strangers
Such a shame when you don't know each other any more
And all the memories that you shared are all that's still there
It's such a shame when lovers become strangers
Such a shame when you don't have each other any more
And all the memories that you shared are all that's still there
It's such a shame when lovers become strangers
SHADOW DREAM SONG
WITH GREG ALLMAN
I meant to call her name
I meant to take her hand
I meant to be the same and understand
Just what was happening
In the evening
Between the princess and the prince
Oh yeah
I can't be bothered now
Cannot eat or drink
I can't remember how I used to think
What was that song she sang
In the morning
About the princess and the prince
Yeah, yeah
It's a crystal ringing way
She has about her in the day
She s a laughing dapple shadow
Yes, she's a laughing dapple shadow
In my mind
Mmm hmmmmm yeah
If I could hear her voice
If I could see her face
If I could wish and be most any place
Be where I saw her last
On that evening past
With the princess and the prince
Yeah
LET THIS BE A LESSON TO YOU
WRITER TOM SNOW
I know this chick she lives down on Melrose
She ain't satisfied without some pain
Friday night is goin' up inside her... again
Well crack the whip
'Cause that bitch is just insane
I'm serious
She's pretty tied up
Hangin' upside down
She's pretty tied up
An you can ride her
She's pretty tied up
Hangin' upside down
I can't tell you she's the right one
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Once there was this rock n' roll band rollin' on the streets
Time went by and it became a joke
We just needed more and more fulfilling- Uh-huh
Time went by and it all went up in smoke
But check it out
She's pretty tied up
Hangin' upside down
She's pretty tied up
An you can ride her
She's pretty tied up
Hangin' upside down
Ohh I can't tell you she's the
right one
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Once you made that money it costs more now
It might cost a lot more than you'd think
I just found a million dollars
That someone forgot
It's days like this that push me o'er the brinks
Cool and stressing
(pronounced: Kool ranch dres'ing)
She's pretty tied up
Hangin' upside down
She's pretty tied up
An you can ride her
She's pretty tied up
Hangin' upside down
And I can't tell you she's the
right one
Oh she's the right one...[etc.]
(But I can tell you a thing or two
'Bout somethin' else
If you really wanna know-Know what
Lyrics to Long Distance Love Affair :
Momma raised me to love one man
And that's just what I'm trying to do
But since you've been playing
In that rock and roll band
I never see enough of you
Saw your picture in a magazine
Read the letters that you sent back home
But of the night I'm alone by the t.v. screen
Listening for the telephone
[Chorus:]
Long distant love affair
We got a station to station romance
And while I'm here you're always there
This kind of love don't get no where
It's just a long distant love affair
I got a fever running through my blood
Night and day you know it never fails
And there's only one thing
That's gonna satsify me
And you can't send it through the mail
I'D RATHER BELIVE IN YOU
WRITERS THOM McHUGH, BRUCE MILLER
I should go out tonight
And get on with my life
Break these chains of solitude
A little luck and a little help
I might even find myself
In the arms of someone new
But, once you've loved somebody
It ain't that easy to do
Once you've somebody
Like I've loved you
Look what you've gone and done
You've ruined it for anyone
Who tries to steal this heart away
I can't get you off my mind
I've told myself a million times
A little time is all it takes
But, once you've loved somebody
It ain't that easy to do
Once you've somebody
Like I've loved you
I gave you everything that I had to give
I don't know if I can go that far again
But, once you've loved somebody
It ain't that easy to do
Once you've somebody
Like I've loved you
Oh, once you've loved somebody
Well I'm hell on wheels, I'm a roller mama
I can slide down places that you never knew
Try me on for size at the roll-a-rama
If you tie my laces then I'll follow you
Follow you, Follow you
Chorus:
See something I like, gonna go for it
See something I want, I'm gonna go after it
See something I like, gonna go for it
See something I want... let's roll
Hell on wheels, let's roll
Come on roll with me
I roll at a quarter till three yeah
And let's rock, hell on wheels, let's rock
Come on rock with me
I'll make you feel so free yeah, look out
Well I'm hell on wheels, say I'm roller crazy
I won't go too fast, no I won't go too far
We'll be high on wheel if the room gets hazy
Just look out for me, I'm your guiding star
Guiding star, guiding star
See something you like, better go for it
See something you want, better get down on it
See something you like, better go fot it
See something you want
Let's roll, hell on wheels, let's roll
Come on roll with me
I roll at a quarter till three yeah
And let's rock, hell on wheels, let's rock
Come on rock with me
I'll make you feel so free yeah, look out
If you see something you like, you better go for it
If you see something you want, you better get down on it
If I see something I like, I'm gonna go for it
If I see something I want, you know I'm gonna get down on it
Well I'm hell on wheels, I'm a roller mama
I can slide down places that you never knew
Try me on for size at the roll-a-rama
If you tie my laces, then I'll follow you
Follow you, follow you
I can?t find a four leaf cover anymore
I could find it if I wanted to
I believe if you put your mind to something
Well, there ain?t anything in this world you could not do
But I can?t find one honest man
Why can?t I find me one honest man
Don?t understand
The only thing I ever wanted
Was a little bouquet of truth from him
But it gave me all the things you can?t build love on
And I am on the wrong side of a broken heart again
Why can?t I find one honest man
Why can?t I find me one honest man
Don?t understand
If a little bitty candle can light off the darkness
Why can?t it shine its way through?
I?ve been waiting a very, very, very long time
Ain?t no man ever gonna be true
Don?t understand
Ain?t there a man for me
Why can?t I find one honest man
Why can?t I find me one honest man
Don?t understand
Why can?t I find one honest man
Why can?t I find me one honest man
Don?t understand
Why can?t I find one honest man
Why can?t I find me one honest man
If you're gonna let me down
Let me down easy
So I won't be too hurt
After you've gone
(After you've gone)
And if you're gonna let me down
Oh, set me down easy
From that special cloud you put me on
(You put me one)
Let me down easy
Let me down slow
And if you're gonna leave me
Oh, honey please me
A memory to soften up the fall
(To soften the fall)
And if you're gonna let me down
Oh, let me down easy
Oh, baby please don't let me down at all
Let me down easy
Let me down slow
And if you're gonna let me down
Oh, set me down easy
Oh, baby please don't let me down at all
(Don't let me down)
Don't let me down
(Don't let me down)
Oh, Don't let me down
(Don't let me down)
Don't let me down
(Don't let me down)
It's hard to hit a moving target
At least that's what I've been told
It they can't catch you
They can't hurt you
You never let them get a hold
So I keep runnin' -
I keep right on runnin'
I've always pushed it to the limit
In fact I've pushed it way past that
If you've got guts then jump on in it
If not then don't forget your hat
And I keep runnin' -
Keep on runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Even though I'm cryin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Keep myself from dyin'
Kick back, relax, don't try to fight it
I'm like a time bomb set to blow
Ooh babe you make me so excited
I just can't take it anymore
I might stop cryin' -
Feels like I'm flyin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Though it feels like flyin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
You make me feel like dyin'
Sail - sail - sail
Sail - sail - sail
Babe I can't run away from you
But I'm scared to let you know
I never stayed one place long enough
To lose my will to go
Of future's is way up ahead
The past fades somewhere far behind
If we could just unveil our needs
No one could stop us or we'd be flyin'
We could stop runnin'
Stop all this runnin'
Runnin', runnin',
Runnin' no more need for cryin'
Runnin', runnin'
Runnin' love feels just like flyin'
So leave if you're leaving
Go if you must go
You won't see me down on my knees
Begging you to come back home
'Cause I refuse to give you the right
To cause these eyes to cry at night
I'm well prepared to live my life
Without you
When you walk away
You won't walk away with my heart
There will be no tears in the dark
No crying, no dying
No waiting for you to come back
When you're out the door
That don't mean I won't breathe no more
And I will not beg you to stay
When you walk, when you walk
When you walk away, when you walk away
This heart won't stop beating
'Cause you said goodbye
And you won't see me fall all in pieces
Or break all apart inside
And I will lose not one night of sleep
Crying for what couldn't be
I'm well prepared to never think
About you
When you walk away
You won't walk away with my heart
There will be no tears in the dark
No crying, no dying
No praying for you to come back
When you're out the door
That don't mean I won't mean I won't breathe no more
And I will not beg you to stay
When you walk, when you walk
When you walk away
'Cause I refuse to give you the right
To cause these eyes to cry at night
I'm well prepared to live my life without you
Without you
When you walk away
You wont walk away with my heart
There will be no tears in the dark
No crying, no dying, no begging
When you're out the door
That don't mean I won't breathe no more
And I will not beg you to stay
When you walk, when you walk
When you walk away
You won't walk away with my heart
There will be no tears in the dark
No crying, no dying
No begging for you to come back
When you walk away
When you walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away
Please walk away
Just walk away
No crying, no dying
Why was I born tell me why I am living
What do I give or what am I'm giving
What do I want anything I can not hope for
What can I hope for I wish I knew
Why do I try to draw you near me
Honey tell me why do I cry
Cause you're never gonna hear me
I'm a poor fool
But what can I do, I do
Why was I born to love you
Why do I try to draw you near me
Honey tell me why do I cry
Cause you're never gonna hear me
I'm a poor fool
But what can I do, I do
SOMEBODY
Writer Sonny Bono
In our world of wonderland
One thing is plain to see
And it don't take no mystic mind at all
Lots of people they're looking now
And searching just like me
Trying to find the answer to it all
Someone told me long ago
Cher you just can't see
You miss the forest looking for the tree
When I think about it now
It's very true you see
Cause everything I want is next to me
Somebody, somebody
You got-ta, you got-ta have somebody
It ain't power, it ain't freedom
You got-ta, you got-ta have somebody
It ain't long hair, it ain't short hair
You got-ta, you got-ta have somebody
He might be black, he might be white
But you got-ta, you got-ta have somebody
Can you dig it, can you dig it
You got-ta, you got-ta have somebody
Somebody when you're happy
Somebody when you're happy
You got-ta, you got-ta have somebody
Somebody when you're lonesome
Somebody when you're lonesome
You got-ta, you got-ta have somebody
Somebody in a lifetime
Somebody in a lifetime
REAL PEOPLE
WRITER PAUL ANKA
Real people of the world
Hear me
Real people of the world
Come near me
The time has come for us
To do what must be done now
The time has come for us
Together, old and young now
United we must stand
United hand in hand
Real people of the world
It's late now
Real people of the world
Don't wait now
Those of you who care
Take the time to show it
People everywhere
Let each other know it
Together we must try
Together you and I
The time has come for us
To do what must be done now
The time has come for us
Together, old and young now
United we must stand
She's a working girl
Come Monday morning
You see her waitin'
On the street for her ride
In an hour she'll be working
In a tower made of steel in the sky
She's just a pawn in the struggle
In a never-ending fight to survive
Mama had to play someone else's game
You learn to keep it inside
Working girl, livin' in a man's world
Working girl, you gotta take a stand girl
The boss checks out her body
She's on the phone tellin' his lies
Run and get the coffee
And a smile hides the rage in her eyes
Tonight she's searching for a reason
As she's walking home alone in the rain
Mama had to play someone else's game
Someday she's breakin' the chain
Working girl, livin' in a man's world
Working girl, you gotta take a stand girl
Nobody knows the dreams
She dares to dream
The plans she had made
Or the times she has prayed inside
Or what tears at her pride
Working girl, livin' in a man's world
Working girl, you gotta take a stand girl
YOU DON'T LOVE ME
Writer T. Raye
Uh uh uh
You don't love me
Yes I know
Uh-uh-uh
You don't love me
Yes I know
Well you left me pretty baby
And I had no place to go
Yes I love you
I'll do anything you say
Yes I love you
I'll do anything you say
If you say you love me baby
I'll get on my knees and pray
Uh uh uh
You don't love me
Chorus:
I'm your prisoner
You got me chained up to your love
I'm your prisoner hey, hey
Someone better free me
From these thoughts that I'm thinking of
Love to be in your arms
I'm a captive of your charms
The walls are much too high
Now I just wanna touch the sky
I never thought your love would
Threaten to hold me this way
Chorus
All beated and abused
Now I feel tied up and misused
I was pleased up from the start
No one sees my broken heart
I never thought your love would
Threaten to hold me this way
I'm your prisoner, I'm your prisoner for your love
I'm your prisoner
Wrapped up in your arms
I'm a captive of your charms
The walls are much too high
Now I just wanna touch the sky
Ooh baby I've been beaten and abused
Ah I've been tied up and misused
I was pleased up from the start
No one sees my broken heart
I can't escape your powers
I'm gettin' weaker by the hour
I was such a wicked lover
But just do it like no other
I never thought your love would
Threaten to hold me this way
Chorus x2
I never thought your love would
More than you know
More than you know
Man of my heart, I love you so
Lately I find you on my mind
More than you know
Whether you're right
Whether you're wrong
Man of my heart, I'm gonna string along
I need you so
More than you'll ever know
Lovin' you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Lovin' maybe all you can give
But honey, I can't live without it
Oh, how I cry, oh, how I die
If you got tired and said goodbye
More than I chose
More than you'll ever know
Lovin' you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Lovin' maybe all you can give
But honey, I can't live without it
Oh, how I die, oh, how I cry
If you got tired and said goodbye
More than I chose
More than you'll ev
More than you'll ev
More than you'll ever know
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Standing all alone inside a crowd
Someone comes along and pulls you out
You smile at the chance
But deep inside, you hide your heart again
Walk with me, take my hand and walk with me
You can count on me through your troubled times
I'll be for you what you've been for me
Oh, walk with me, understand, oh, walk with me
Standing all alone, so down and out
It's easy to forget what life's about
But you know I'm your cure
So wear that smile we need to see us through
Walk with me, take my hand and walk with me
You can count on me through your troubled times
I'll be for you what you've been for me
Oh, walk with me, understand, oh, walk with me
Baby, baby, I am here
When you can't see me, see me through your tears
Feel me, feel me make it real for you
And you'll make it, baby
Walk with me, take my hand and walk with me
You can count on me through your troubled times
I'll be for you what you've been for me
Oh, walk with me, understand
Walk with me, take my hand and walk with me
Walk with me, understand, oh, walk with me
You can walk with me, take my hand and walk with me
Well it's saturday night
You're all dressed up and blue
I've been watchin' you go out
Maybe you been watchin' me too
So somebody ran out
Left somebody's heart in a mess
Well if you're lookin' for love
Honey I'm tougher than the rest
Some girls they want a handsome Dan
Or some good-lookin' Joe
On their arms some girls want
A sweet talkin' Romeo
We'll 'round here baby
I've learned you get what you can get
So if you're rough enough for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest
Yeah, the road is dark
And it's a thin, thin line
But I want you to know
I'll walk it for you anytime
Maybe your other girlfriends
Couldn't pass the test
Well if you're rough and ready for love
Honey I'm tougher than the rest
Well it ain't no secret
I've been around a time or two
Well, I don't know, baby
Maybe you've been around too
But there's another dance, baby
All you got to do is say yes
And if you're rough and ready for love
LOVING ON BORROWED TIME
I turn my back on him
Now it's you that makes me smile
But in your arms, I'm restless
Like I'm leaving in awhile
I let the match and burned my bridges
You were mine
Now I got this feeling
You'll be the next in line
[Chorus:]
Living on the love of another man's woman
That's loving on borrowed time
Like to make a song last forever
But the next dance won't be mine
Living on the love of another man's woman
That's loving on borrowed time
My old love's broken pieces
And I ain't met the new
You're here in the middle
Hanging on until I do
Cause I'm a train that stops
At every station down the line
You're a fool so desperate
That you'll ride on borrowed time
(Sonny & Cher)
Ride, I used to jump my horse and ride
I had a six gun at my side
I was so handsome, women cried
And I got shot but never died
I could play, if I do every thing he'd say
Girls seem to just get in his way
Those days we weren't considered fun
A cowboy's work is never done
He'd fight crime all the time
He'd always win,
Till his mom would break it up
And call him in
He was tough he was hard
But he was kind
and he was love, cause guys like him
Were hard to find
Ride, I like to ride again some day
I think I still know how to play
I'd play games now but it's not fun
I could pass the evening here
Staring down into your eyes
Just forget there's a world somewhere outside
I kept my porch-light burning
So you could find my door
Felt so good to hear your footsteps
Walk across my bedroom floor
Chorus:
I knew that you were coming
By the thunderstorm last night
I swear I heard the north wind call your name
But a clear sky of blue stars
And the darling man you are
Makes it feel so good lying here next to you
This dusty town has needed rain
Like I've been needing you
So hold me tight as only you can do
By the light of just one candle
I feel your warm hands touching me
While our shadows move together
In the sweetest harmony
Every night I grab some money
And I go down to the bar
I got my buddies and a beer
I got a dream, I need a car
You got me begging on my knees
C'mon and throw the dog a bone
A man, he doesn't live by
Rock 'n' Roll and brew alone
Baby, baby
Rock 'n' Roll and brew
Rock 'n' Roll and brew
They don't mean a thing
When I compare 'em next to you
Rock 'n' Roll and brew
Rock 'n' Roll and brew
I know that you and I
We got better things to do
But don't know who you are? What you do?
Where you go? When you're not around
I don't know anything about you, baby
But you're everything I'm dreaming of
I don't know who you are
But you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love
Ever since I can remember
You've been hanging around this joint
You've been trying to look away
But now you finally got the point
I don't have to know your name
And I won't tell you what to do
But a girl, she doesn't live by only
Rock 'n' Roll and brew
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Rock 'n' Roll and brew
Rock 'n' Roll and brew
They don't mean a thing
When I compare 'em next to you
Rock 'n' Roll and brew
Rock 'n' Roll and brew
I know that you and I
We got better things to do
I don't know who you are? What you do?
Where you go? When you're not around
I don't know anything about you, baby
But you're everything I'm dreaming of
I don't know who you are
But you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love
Ooh, you got the kind of legs
That do more than walk
I don't have to listen
To your whimpering talk
Listen, you got the kind of eyes
That do more than see
You gotta lot of nerve
Come on to me
You got the kind of lips
That do more than drink
You got the kind of mind
That does less than think
But since I'm feeling kinda lonely
And my defenses are low
Why don't we give it shot?
And get ready to go
I'm looking for anonymous
And fleeting satisfaction
I want to tell my daddy
I'll be missing in action
Ever since I can remember
I've been hanging around this joint
My daddy never noticed it
Now he finally got the point
You got me beggin' on my knees
C'mon and throw the dog a bone
A man he doesn't live by
Rock 'n' Roll and brew alone
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Rock 'n' Roll and brew
Rock 'n' Roll and brew
I know that you and I
We got better things to do
Rock 'n' roll and brew
Rock 'n' roll and brew
They don't mean a thing
When I compare 'em next to you
I don't know who you are? Or what you do?
Or where you go? When you're not around
I don't know anything about you, baby
But you're everything I'm dreaming of
I don't know who you are
But you're a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love
Dead ringer for love
Dead ringer for love
Dead ringer for love
You were the only thing I had
How could a good love go so bad
Somehow I guess I should have known
That you would leave me here alone
They say you found somebody new
But that won't change my love for you
How could you leave me on my own
You know I hate to sleep alone
Remember how it used to be
When you were here with me
You were the only one I've known
And how I hate to sleep alone
Someday, some way, somebody new
Will make you feel the way that I do
But I just wish that you'd come home
You know that I hate to sleep alone
But I just wish that you'd come home
Loneliness is a cloak you wear
A deep shade of blue is always there
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love
Baby, emptiness is a place you're in
Nothing to lose not no more to win
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love
Lonely without you, baby
Boy, I need you, I can't go on
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love
Loneliness is a coat you wear
The dark shade of blue is always there
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
Here comes old Rosie she's looking mighty fine
Here comes hot Nancy she's steppin' right on time
There go the street lights bringin on the night
Well they'll be slipping into darkness slipping out of sight
All through the shadows they come and they go
Only one thing in common
They got the fire down below
Here comes the rich man in his long black limousine
Here comes the poor man all you got to have is green
Here comes the lawyer, banker and the cop
One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop
When it all gets too heavy
That's when they come and go
Only one thing in common
They got the fire down below
It happens out in Vegas happens in Moline
On the blue blood streets of Boston
Up in Berkeley and out in Queens
And it went on yesterday and it's going on tonight
Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right
And he's looking out for Rosie and she's looking mighty fine
And he's walking the streets for Nancy
And he'll find her everytime
When the street light flicker bringing on the night
Well they'll be slipping into darkness slipping out of sight
All through the midnight
Watch 'em come and watch 'em go
Only one thing in common
I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I believe in the kingdom come
When all the colors bleed into one
Bleed into one
And yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds and you
Loosened the chains
Carried the cross
Of all my shame
All my shame
You know I believe it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
The way you look at her
Is the way you use to look at me
When things were different
Too many changes have gone down
Strange vibrations all around
Makes me think perhaps
Our love ain? t right
So ask your heart and soul
They will surely know
If you still love me
No break down is too big
For you not to dig
The kind of love I? m putting down
It all adds up now
Two and two are really four
It all adds up now
My heart knows the score
Put me in your loving bag
Please don? t say I am a drag
I gave you more than life itself
So if you can walk away
Love will come another day
In a new disguise
Maybe you? re the kind of guy
All you want to do is make me cry
Sometimes I wonder why today
It all adds up now
Two and two are really four
It all adds up now
Well it must have been good
'Cos you said it was love
I guess the day you left me
It wasn't good enough
Now you're calling my number
Say, you wanna come back
Oh baby, baby it's too late for that
'Cos when you see me
There'll be somebody new by my side
Somebody who is sure he is mine
When you see the smile on his face
Just remember baby
Could've been you, could've been you
When he's standing there in your place
I hate to say it baby
Could've been you
Guess I should have been cool
Maybe I was too kind
When loving me was easy
You were hard to find
And when I cried over you babe
How the teardrops burned
Oh baby, baby now the tables turned
So, if those tears start falling
When you see us walking by
I hope you won't forget who said goodbye
When you see the smile on his face
Just remember baby
Could've been you, could've been you
When he's standing there in your place
I hate to say it baby
Could've been you, could've been you
Should've been you
But you threw it all away
Oh could've been you
Standing here today
Could've been you baby
So if those tears start falling
When you see us walking by
I hope you won't forget who said goodbye
You said, goodbye
When you see the smile on his face
Just remember baby
Could've been you, could've been you
When he's standing there in your place
I hate to say it baby
Could've been you, could've been you, could've been you
When you see the smile on his face
Just remember baby
Could've been you, could've been you
When he's standing there in your place
I hate to say it baby
MANY RIVERS TO CROSS (Live from The Mirage)
Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of dover.
Yes I've got many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
'Cause I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride.
And this lonliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
'cause my man left me and he didn't say why
So I guess I'll have to cry.
I've got many rivers to cross
But just where to begin', I'm playing for time
'cause there've been times I find myself
Thinking of committing, a dreadful crime.
And this lonliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My man left me and he didn't say why
So I guess I'll have to cry.
I've got many rivers to cross
But just where to begin', I'm playing for time
But I've been licked, and washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my prideâ¦
The night is bitter.
The stars have lost their glitter.
The wind grows colder and suddenly you're older.
And all because of the man that got away.
No more his eager call.
Oh the writing's on the wall.
Dreams have all gone astray.
The man that won you
Has gone off and undone you.
That great beginning
Has seen its final inning.
Don't know what happened.
It's all a crazy game.
No more, no more that old time thrill.
Oh honey, you've been through the mill.
And never a new love will be the same.
Good riddance, oh good bye.
Every trick of his you're on to.
But fools will be fools and where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher.
It's lonelier and it's tougher
With hope you burn up
Tomorrow, tomorrow he may turn up.
There's just no let up
The live long night at day.
Ever since this world began
There ain't nothing sadder than
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
Two more days and we'll be home
Two more days and we won't be alone
We'll see things that we recognize
We'll get to look in our baby's eyes
And I know that you're lonesome baby
It's hard hanging on
I know that you're tired baby
But I'll help you be strong
CHORUS:
Cause I'm gonna hold you tighter (tighter)
Tighter (tighter), tighter (tighter)
(Baby)
I'm gonna hold you tighter (tighter)
Tighter (tighter), tighter (tighter)
(Baby yeah, yeah)
We've been out on a thirty-day gig
Paid our dues cause that's how we live
Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry
Sometimes we're weary and sometimes we're high
Hey I know that you're lonesome baby
It's hard hanging on
I know that you're tired baby
But I'll help you be strong
Chorus
How'd you tell a baby that's just eight months old
Her daddy and momma gotta work on the road
Every night she won't get kissed
Cause we're out here trying
To get her all the things that we missed
And I know that you're lonesome baby
It's hard hanging on
I know that you're tired baby
But I'll help you be strong
Chorus
It's seems kinda funny that it ain't just you and me
The number was two and now we changed to three
We added one more color and the color made us brighter
But to keep our rainbow blowing now we gotta be a fighter
And I know that you're lonesome baby
It's hard hanging on
I know that you're tired baby
But I'll help you be strong
When I was up
You'd always come around
When I need a friend
You could never be found
I got a hole
Where my heart used to be
I wouldn't treat a dog, no
The way you treated me
When time was good, love
All of your lovin' was the same
Oh, when the goin' got rough
Boy, you hardly knew my name
You locked me out
And you threw away the key, baby
I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me
Got me cryin for the love
That I'm needin'
Beggin' like a dog for a bone
Boy, I've spent most of my time grievin'
You turn you back
And you leave me, one of these old days
Lord knows that it's true
Just when you need me the most
I'll be walking out on you
When you say
As you're beggin' down on your knees, baby
I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me
The way you treated me
I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me
No, no I wouldn't do it
No, baby, I couldn't do it
I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me
