You touched me. You took me away.
You left me confused when you said you couldn't stay.
But now I know what you were trying to say.
I can understand that I'm not the only one.
But I believe ou ...
We flew into town on sunday, had to find a place by monday
Tried bridgeport and westport, 'til we found a place that we thought would do
157 riverside avenue.
There's a side of you, could bring on homicide
But livin' in a cell changes my view
Maybe your automobile could lose it's right front wheel
It happens every day, it could be you
Standing by the roadside
Old newspaper in my hand.
Reading yesterday's headlines,
Nothing new, I said it's all the same.
Everywhere!
I'm the fool of the year and I've been waiting
Twenty five ...
Well if you're ever in a tight spot,
And all the things around you are gettin' hot,
Come to me and I can cool you off.
And if you ever get yourself in a jam,
And if you ever feel you need to fin ...
A grey ghost night
On an eastern flight
Sixteen thousand miles away
I lay awake
When the morning breaks
But what can I do to get you
Back in my heart again
Please don't hate me mama for what I'm about to do
But the good times we've had together are just about now through
Please don't misunderstand me, I hate to see you cry
But I think that it might ...
Found myself heading down toward springfield
The last sign said it was twelve miles west
It's gettin' hard to see through the salt on my windshield
But it looks like I'm gonna make it before the ...
Please don't worry now about the mornin'
When it's time we'll sip our wine and sleep
Woah, but I've been known
To love more than one person
Woah, and I've been shown
That bein' kind can hurt so ...
Sooner or later you will find a way
To feel like sunshine even on a cloudy day
To feel like morning in the dead of night
Sooner or later it's gonna be all right.
You got that far away look in your eyes.
But are you looking at me or at some other guy
Who's got you hypnotized,
Got you mesmerized,
Keep you tranquilized with ever kind of lie.
Still he makes ...
Another day in the city
Another dancer to the music
But lately, all the music sounds so strange
Well some songs have no meaning
And some songs try to hard
Tryin to say it all
And end up saying ...
Father to son, husband to wife
Brother to brother, black man to white
Living together, falling apart
Looking for the common ground in every human heart
It all comes down to the two of us
Yeah t ...
I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
Chorus:
Can't get you out of my heart, can't get you out of my soul
When I get next to you, all I get is out of control
Can't get you out of my head, I've memorized every word you ever said
You' ...
I think to much about you baby
You've on my mind more than you should
I would do without you now
I would walk away now if I could
I never needed anybody baby

Do you know where your woman is tonight?
Do you know if she's sleepin' alone tonight?
Well, you might be right and you might be wrong
When you say you trust her alone.

Don't you know you better watch this man,
Better look him in the eye
See if he returns your look or if he
Tries to stay a little shy
Maybe soon you'll get involved again
Better best beware
You ...
So you figure that you've got him all figured out
He's a sweet talkin stud
Who can melt a girl's heart with his pout
He's the kind of lover that the ladies dream about

Climbed aboard the dream weaver train

I've been trying to run my life
Using every trick I knew.
I say anything anytime to anybody.
I do what I always wanted to.
But that's no way to keep me happy.
It's an old disguise.
South of the border and busted,
Caught by a woman I trusted,
Now don't you call me a fool,
It could have happened to you,
It's just my luck,
It had to happen to me.
Backwoods killer from a river town
A mixed up kid that let his hair hang down
High school rebel, he's always been bad
And his poor old man's still wond'ring 'bout the lad
But he's gone, gone awa ...
Five men were killed today,
Leaving five wives as widows.
Six men they tried to kill.
Maybe one will live to raise his son.

To tell you what went wrong.

Diamond studded man
Ruby coated plan
Makes my heart ache to think that money could take you from me
Midnight dream
Almost made me scream
Nightmares came now that money took you from me
I saw you at midnight, in a dream that I had.
From nowhere, you stood there, and you seemed so sad.
And a vicious decision is drivin' me mad.
Should I follow my head, or follow my heart?
Night and day, day and night
I do my best to do things right
Never meant to ever hurt nobody
And if I should in some small way
Ever rain on your parade
I will make it up to you I promise
Give me a ride on your roller coaster
Give me a thrill, I can't help feelin' bored
Give me a dime to call my baby closer
'cause I'm alone, I'm feelin' bored
I can't help thinking I'm ignored
My life is runnin like a stock car race
High speed and lots of curves
Keep the pedal to the metal, win or lose
But don't lose your nerve
Some people live in fear
If you can call that living
I' ...

I've never seen the sea seem so calm.
I've never felt the breeze slippin' thru the trees.
But now I've got you and it's takin so long.
I wanna see more.
I gotta feel more.
How did we end up ending up this way
I always thought that we could work it out
At times I wondered if we'd last out the day
But my love was always stronger
Stronger than my doubt
Then here we ...
I'm gettin' heavy on your love
Every night
Gettin' ready for your love
With all of my might
I was crazy for your love
Never stayed around you love
Aw but you make me deadly
Maybe it's too late but this feelin is runnin through my soul
I think I learned what love is but I'm afraid I let it go
Maybe it's too late, maybe you've already changed your mind

Your heart is just about to overflow
Must be something more I can do
Some new plateau
I'm listening to you
Dying to know
Everything that your feeling

How can I show you?
I take back what I told you.
'Cause something happens when I hold you,
And that makes everything all right.
And oh... oh... I need you tonight.
I just need you tonight.

I was with you, you were alone
Now I'm standing here
Wisdom came only after you'd gone
Now I'm starting all over, with a tear in my eye
I just never thought you'd disappear
I know a place where you can go.
When you're flyin' high or layin' low.
And I've got the time.
I've got plenty to spare.
I've got the time, and I've got the place,
I just wish you were there.

I dedicate everything I do
My fear is gone
And I feel so strong
Love has never been so true
I've never seen what I see in you
I watch you sleep
Your beauty runs so deep

Live every moment - love every day
'cus before you know it your precious time slips away.
Live every moment - love every day
'cause if you don't you might just throw your love away.
I cannot bathe you in a river gone black
I cannot hold you in a poison rain
If I can't see you through the air that we breathe
What will love in the future be?
My love is a rock, an immovable force
Anywhere that you are, my love is right here
With any tick of the clock
Life can change it's course
But my love will not
My love is a rock
Love is a positive vibration
With love you find the good in a bad situation
Everybody's gonna need a helping hand
It don't really matter where you stand
You're gonna need someone to lean on
Lucky I call you 'cus that's the way you make me feel.
Love in the air and the wind in my hair is makin' me real.
Look out lucky there's a mountain in front of you.
And with a little luck we'll s ...
I remember it well, that day last spring,
When the snow lay deep on the mountain trails.
It was winter's last showin' and our last fling
Before returning to our lives in the valley.
I was sittin' with the sun, meltin' into the horizon
High in the hills, up above topanga canyon
And I've never been to any other place that made me feel more like movin'
Made me feel like movin'. ...

My whole life rides on the mood of my lady
Her ups and downs are turning my life around
She's happy today, it's like a breath of new life
But tomorrow her sorrow will tear me down.
You and your baby had some words today
Til not another word was left to say
I see that grin boy
Maybe you think you'll win boy
Until the sun goes down and once again boy

I was just a boy when the river ran dry
And I can still remember my mama cry
She said son leave as fast as you can
But don't waste your life in this rock 'n' roll band

To make the break that we
Are on the brink of

Our love is spilling

Looks can't kill but she certainly tries,
And she tried as she might.

Just because you're caught in your social maze.

Now there's nothing left to do
But to lay my head down for sleeping
I'm weak with exhaustion and the lover's blues
And I still can't forget those weeks I had with you
When I awaken, feelin' no pain
Visibly shaken, waitin' to touch you again
My temperature's risin, but I'm fallin' a bit behind
And that ain't so surprising, were gonna take our own sweet time

I thought I had all I could ask for
Only a fool would think there was more
I would never have believed
That anything could feel brand new
Then I met you

But I'm drawing the line there woman

I've been around for you
I've been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief
It's all on my shoulders
And it was gettin harder to bear
Each day I was gettin older
And I was startin to show the wear
Tonight I'm gonna get it all
Gonna lay my work on the shelf?
She doesn't like the tough guys.
They think that they can do anything they please.
But they're gonna get a surprise,
When she brings them to their knees.
If ever you think you miss the thrill of the chase
Or just get tired of the same old face
I can be different honey, I can be new
Want someone else, I can be that too

And these postcards just remind me how far away you are
There's two thousand miles of highway lyin' between us
But the way I feel tonight it d ...

Have you ever ridden horses through a rainstorm
Or led a lion through a busy street bazaar
There are many things I'd love to turn you on to
But somehow I feel they're safer where they are.
