Well, she takes her hair down slowly
And starts her ride
A silver Maranello baby
Up to the hills faster than light
She knows I shouldn't be here, baby
It turns her on
There's silk in her touch, gold in her kiss
My conscience is all but gone
She don't believe in long term love
She just wanna hit and run this stuff
She's the devil with an angel's face
The kind of girl a man likes to taste
She's ...
In bed sittin' and readin'
By the T. V. light
Stay away from the window
Thunder and lightenin'
And the rain, the rain keeps fallin' down
That's somethin' that hasn't changed
Yeah, there's somethin' inside me
It's quiet when it rains
At the end of the rainbow
There ain't no pot of gold
And the light in the mornin', hardly ever shows
Ain't no easy livin' everybody knows
And it's all around us
70...
Now Jimmy was livin' in misery
The poor boy was livin' in sin
When Jesus gave His life on Calvary
It weren't to save Jimmy's skin
He didn't play by any rules
But one thing he knew for sure
There were a lot of changes coming
He'd best be payin' them some mind
There were a lot of changes coming
He knew he'd better take his time
Jehovah sent a bright light shinin' down
Knocked Jimmy to the floor
...
They sat in an abandoned luncheonette
Sipping imaginary cola and drawing faces in the tabletop dust
His voice was rusty from years as a sergeant on "this man's army"
They were old and crusty
She was twenty when the diner was a baby
He was the dishwasher, busy in the back, his hands covered with
Gravy
Hair black and wavy
Brilliantine slick, a pot - cleaning dandy
He was young and randy

Adult, adult, adult education
Afternoon in the homeroom, they're about to let you go
And the locker slams on the plans you had tonight
You've been messing around with your boyfriend, maybe better left alone
There's a wise guy that you know who could put you right
In the lot, the boy that's idling by doesn't rev your heart
'Cause it's only lonely spots he shares with you
And the long halls and ...
Uhh

My baby went to Africa
With the dirty lens photographer
My baby land in jungle land
With a US body and a real light tan
US body and a real light tan
My baby went to Africa
My baby went to Africa
Sing

Uhh
My baby went to Africa
With a make-up man and a love-sick lover

Dance with me, come on, dance with me, baby
Dance with me, come on, dance with me, baby
Dance with me, come on, dance with me, baby
Dance with me, come on, dance with me, baby
I want you and you want me
So why can't we get together after the dance?
All right, ooh
Looking girl, saw you smile
When I first saw you
Looking good on Soul Train
You were looking so, so good
Oh, I was looking too
Oh, I...
Ain't too proud to beg
I know ya wanna leave me, but I refuse to let you go
If I have to beg and plead for your sympathy,
I don't mind coz' you mean that much to me
Ain't too proud to beg, you know it sweet darlin'
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
Now I heard a cryin' man, is half a man
With no sense of pride
...
Skin tight soul delight
Changing her life for another
She dreams magazines
Sees herself on the cover
Anything anytime anywhere
It's fitting in that matters
Faithfully she believes in the look he wants to know better
She knows what she wants
She's an all American girl
She knows what she needs
She's a sold American girl
She knows what she knows
She's an all American girl
She does what she does

I can see the anger
and I surely feel
All the passion, baby gone astray
Why are we divided
so dissatisfied
Does it matter what we do or say
I can't see the wisdom
Never gonna give in
When the love is not so far away
I was hoping for more
I'm still hoping for sure
Isn't anybody dreamin'
Isn't anybody thinking
Or am I all by myself
Isn't anybody teachin'
Why is everybody preachin'
Am I all by my...
Why don't you pack I'll take you back
To the countryside
Now's the time
I've got a little place in mind.
We don't need no neighbors making noise at night,
Dogs that fight
You'll sleep like a child,
The city steaming miles away.
Never thought you'd see the good life
Let me tell you how it feels
We can let our hearts be open, wide,
So all our love will come through.
Up and gone, we'll be moving ...
What's the point of standing
Ten feet tall if you never learn to fall
If you want to win
You've got to play the game
But if you lose, you must accept the pain
So don't reach for the sky
If all you want is heaven
All you want is heaven
All you want is heaven
All you want is heaven
You know the reason
Makes us human
But our love makes us believe
We can conquer all
I give you fire and you give me...
Put on your feline finery
Da' Katz are meeting down below
If you feel like rocking
With a Tabby, Tom, and Calico
It'll dirty up your pedigree
But we guarantee a good time
We got some catnip that'll set you free
Come on, come on, paws on the line
Alley Katz, Alley Katz come out and play
Yowlin' and howlin' a social ballet
Out in the alley it's strictly low brow
Alley Katz, Alley Katz make me me...
Just a little boy lost looking for a lamb in the all night city
Living in his lonely limousine
And though he never has to worry
He's the only one and only one, he's ever gonna need
Absolutely he's in definite need
Of a woman, child and some better kind of love
When the hot town's hurt him
And he knows how happy he could be
But he don't know if he can make it
Between the money and another lonel...
Never let nobody know me
Never let nobody dare
Never let somebody hold me
Long enough for me to care
Till I found you, till I found you
Never let my guard down easy
Never let myself let go
I never knew the reason why
I never let my feelings show
Till I felt the pain of loving you
And that's what hurts when we say, goodbye
And that's what hurts on those sleepless nights
There's nothing I can do...
Angelina, though your eyes have been closed all your life
Angelina, let my love be their light
Though I'm a painter you can't see my pictures
But you know the colors I use
They flash in your mind still you don't know their meaning
But I'll teach the meaning to you
Angelina, though your eyes have been closed all your life
Angelina, let my love be their light
You never looked at the face that I ...
Try to ignore the twisted side
We kiss and we hiss at the same time
Don't you know some things just don't blow away
You've been this way before
But the cut's just seem to hurt me more
Could be a reason for the difference
You've been practicing
The art of heartbreak
Practicing
The art of heartbreak
Anticipating what she's aching for
I'm being an edgy, leave her wanting more
Anyone might think, ...
I'd like to join the army
Don't want to join the war
I'd take my place in line hell
Never go AWOL
We keep on marching forward
And never will retreat
Don't let the enemy inside you
That's the beginning of defeat
All good soldiers stand to arms
All good soldiers try so hard
To follow orders never asking why
I'm standing at tension, at tension
I'm standing at tension
I'm standing at tension, at t...
I saw the sun, though it didn't shine
Gave up no shadows, gave out no way to know the time
No wind to blow the silver leaves
The drone of clever talk just stopped
The air hangs out, hesitates to carry a thought
Away from me
And the sky colored heavy gray
August Day
Stir the dust and carve a rhyme
Barefoot blues watch and wait till supper time
Will a smile break through
Distant thunder and the ...
Babs and babs lay dreaming in a four poster bed
Arm in arm, head to head, babs and babs
Babs said, quot;whatcha thinking? quot;
She said, quot;nothing
But I never do 'cause I leave it up to youquot;
Babs looked out the window
Saw the moon and the sky
She saw the clouds drifting by
Voices crying and sighing and dying but she said nothing
quot;look out on the lawn, there's a moon out tonight
The...
Spending all my nights, all my money, goin' out on the town
Doin' anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes, I'm right back where I started again
And tryin' to forget you is just a waste of time
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong and I just can't live without you
...
He's back together again
Yeah, everyone is glad that he's together again
Just like the old days, old days, old days
Yeah, he could sing, he could sing, he could sing
He's back together again
You know he's still got the moves
You know the groove?s still there
Just like the old days old days, old days
Yeah, he could sing, he could sing
Listen to him sing
Back together again, back together again

Come to me like I'm the doctor
Say you need someone to talk ta'
You want advice go ask your mother
One bad turn deserves another
'cause I've been cursed with your infection
Makin' my head hurt makin' my eyes burn
You've taken me in the wrong direction
And left me there with no protection
Bad habits can be cured by cutting
Them out
Infections can be cured by cutting
Them out
Maybe you'll find a...
One lonely eye faces the queen
How far she goes remains to be seen
She can be hard and she knows it
She plays her heart and doesn't show it
Cold night cold like me
No love lost betting on the king
And it's a hard unknown
Before the hand is showing
The con is out when the eagle flies
If you know the hand is quicker than the eye
Can I bank on your love
Hands down left high and dry

Oh, living the life of a madman's wife, has got to be unreal
'cause she's got to hold on to ground control
While jack does what he feels
Well he stays away, and then he comes home
And he never knows where he's been

And then he's a kid again

Always giving in to mequot;

I got a good education now and I'm ready for the world, yeah
We've been going together, gonna last forever
And it ain't never gonna change
I'm a real hard charger, yeah, everybody's gonna listen to me
We're a winning combination that nobody's gonna rearrange
Big kids breakin' up 'cause they're lookin' for fun
Everybody's leavin', boy, girl on the run
My situation's static, there's no reason to...
There's a million like us so we're not alone
A million like us though I can't think of one
There must be a million people who are pulling apart
And they don't know how to stop it, can't stop it when it starts
We can begin with a little bit of honesty
You can tell the truth girl, when you're talking to me
And what comes to my mind when I think of you
Is what am I here for? There must be somethi...
Just look at you and me
Yea we've had some fun,
Don't you agree?
Now that we have come this far
Time to stop the game and
Make a start
I want you to take this seriously
But all you do is show inhumanity
You hurt me oh, but I can't
Hurt you back
Baby don't you know I've got more
Heart than that
I can't hide the way I feel
Help me please, baby please help me
We've reached the borderline
Nowhere ...
Standing in the rain
Cab comes into view
Ask me where am I goin' to
Running for so long
Been gone too many nights
And my heart has paid the price
This ain't heaven
This ain't the life bargained for
My reason for living
Isn't here inside this car
Girl I gotta get back to you
Chorus:
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away
Too much time alone
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time ...

Opening night, nothing new atlanta
Into the spotlight, one more time
Just in time to play
To one man and an empty table
He was drinking down the pain
All he could say was this lady's name...
Oh camellia won't you take me away
After the show, when the room was empty
No, he wouldn't go
So I asked him why he called her name
It seems she was some magic one night
With something for his p...
Darling I can't get enough of your love babe
Girl I don't know, don't know why
I can't get enough of your love babe
Oh some things I can't get used to
No matter how I try, I try yeah
It's like the more you give, the more I want, say baby
And baby that's no lie, [Incomprehensible]
So tell me, what can I say? What am I gonna do?
How should I feel when everything is you?
What kind of love is this...
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be

He's the star on the stage, but he screams all night
'Cause he can't get to sleep at all
And his favorite book, by the T.V. Light
Can't stop this matinee, he's played it over and over
And he can't stop the music
Or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
All those hard earned words, that he's fought from his pen
Have been forgotten in some empty hall
And those wide eyed look...
Oh, I need a change of season
Oh, I want a little springtime in the fall
Oh, I could use a change of season
Can't stop thinkin' about it, baby
And I'm sick about it, yeah
Oh, I've been trying to fight this feeling
I know just one little brick can break the wall
Oh, I might find a change of season
Will bring a freeze in the summer, baby
Seasons change, people change
But you can't hold back the ...
The sun beats down so slow
I feel my body heating up inside
I watch the danger zone
For signs of life but not a soul alive
Try every trick I know
To keep my temperature from blowing sky high
Check on the time to go
Lay my spirit down to fantasize
Disembark disconnect possibilities unknown
On the edge of a heading for heavy weather
I suspect I can tell I can feel it in my bones
All not well but...
Pardon the crazy way I behave
And the things I say
Maybe I?m too young to know the score
But there?s something inside not right
Wish I could vocalize
If I screamed would you realize?
Feeling like a child without his toys
I just want to tell you
Everything?s all right
I'm just looking at you through crazy eyes tonight
'Cause if I'm acting kind of strange
I'm looking through crazy eyes
Cloudy da...
I know you know all the pros and cons
They help you get to everything you want
Greasing policemen bending all the rules
Make them an offer that they can't refuse
One crime, baby, I can't forgive
The kind that hurts where I live
I'm a nice guy, I try to wait and see
If you'll get caught or go free a
You stole my heart and left me blue
It look like crime pays for you
You do it and you get away

Let it rain, let it pour, let it rain a whole lot more
'Cause I've got them deep river blues
Let the rain drive right on, let the waves sweep slong
'Cause I've got them deep river blues
My old gal, she's a good old pal, she looks like a water fowl
When I got them deep river blues
Ain't no one gonna cry for me and the fish all go out on a spree
When I get them deep river blues
So let it rain, l...
You strike a low blow
You fight a dirty fight
Right to the heart
You're putting me away
Time was movin' slow
But I was in control
There were so many things
I should've said
But couldn't think of one word
Delayed reaction, oh yeah
First I was ashamed
Then I was inflamed
I wanted to hurt you
Saidthat delayed reaction, oh no
First I was alright
And then I had to fight
I wanted to hurt you
I wante...
When you find yourself alone
And when going out is coming home
You can count on 'The Kid'
'Cause there's nobody waiting around
Oh, oh, if you're not an easy mark
It's a shot in the dark that hits the heart
And I know, I know when it's coming
I thought so anyway
Somethings stay the same
And some are due for a change
I thought I had them all nailed down
But you turned it around, boy
You did it, ...
Look at me, I'm running
Ooh, what have I done
Oh, I must have hurt someone
It's dark in Subway Station
Gimme place to hide
Oh, I hear the voices deep inside
And oh, the voice is singing
Diddy doo wop, oh oh oh oh oh
Diddy doo wop, oh oh oh
Well, it's the voice that I hear at the subway stop
Keep singing, diddy doo wop
Diddy doo wop, oh oh oh oh oh
Diddy doo wop, oh oh oh
Well, it starts in my ...
I would fly ten thousand miles
Through the pouring rain
Just to see your face
I'd bare my soul to a total stranger
Just to say your name
And I'm not ashamed
Just to love you into every morning
I would change my name
And run away
I won't do it for money
I won't do it for pride
I won't do it to please somebody else
If it don't feel right
But I'll do it for you
And at least I'll try
I don't need ...
Do What You Want, Be What You Are
Do what you want girl, but be what you are
There ain't no right er wrong way
Just a play from the heart
Lt ain't a sign of weakness to give yourself away
Because the strong give up and move on
While the weak, weak give up and stay
So do what you want to do
But be what you are
Do you believe in hot cars
Leather bars, or movie stars
Is that what's real
Payin' du...
Mighty high or low down
Turn around the words that they say
Low is not the last one
'Cause you know, if you know
You'd be learning from a hit lip
Success is sitting fat and limp
But don't blame it on the system
It's only natural, it's only natural
You could blame it on yourself
Blame it on me but don't blame it on love
You could blame it on yourself
Blame it on me but don't blame it on love

I turned around and you were standing there
More than a little high
More than a little crazy
So beautiful I had to stare
And I knew you had the power to change me
Scarlet woman, you've come for me
Your timing's great, 'cause I've been
Waiting so long
The only thing I want to say
Now that you've got me, please-
Don't change my life
You know I love you but I hate your friends
They got dollars bu...
I know what it's like to be forgotten
Left alone with your simple dreams
But even dreams are fading fast
No one to turn to when you can't sleep at night
Waking up to another day that will soon be over
And if you think that time has forgotten you
Well just look into my eyes
And know the times we'll change
Don't hold back your love
I know it's here
I wanna see it come to life before my eyes

Levels
It's just a case of choosing my priorities
Stages
It's just the art of changing our perception
But when I see that girl it messes my security
So please don't leave me alone with her
She always calls me when I'm still at home
Hope I can call you while you're still at home
She always calls before I get away
Hope I can catch you before you get away
Levels
Always a case of choosing my prior...

Lyrics by D. Hall, J. Oates, S. Allen
Ah yeah,
Oh, oh, yeah
No doubt
Do it downtown in from the outside
Yeah, find the scene work it brother
Moving thru sound
City's like wild life
All overgrown living undercover
And wound up so tight
We love the Downtown Life
Downtime life baby
Driftin' thru the day waiting for the nite, oh oh
Oh
Downtown Life
it feels ...
I saw you standing and I felt your rage
Like a dark cloud on a crowded stage
You were talking through the smoke in your fantasy
I know you, girl, I know what to believe
Maybe things ain't been so good at home
And the people that you love, never cared at all
You wanna run away, don't care where you go
You wanna run away, that's all you know
Believe it's alright to fantasize
And say the words yo...

We don't need a whole lot of money
We don't need a cadillac car
What we need is a mountain in montana
A thousand acre world for the roadies and the girls
But you need a whole lot of money
Lots of loot, to tell you the troot'
Oh, we know what's good but we love what's bad
And it'd be ennui on the mountain anyway
Oh I don't know if it's high or low
But it's round and round ...
You say you can't stand to be
Tied so close to a lover
Ooh you feel like a prisoner
And you wanna find someone who will let you out
Can't you see the heartbeat that you know so well
Is better than some strange one you're looking for
Say you never know that strange one just might be me
Can't you see -
You have everything your heart desires
So why d'you want more
If you had everything your heart...
Every time I look at you
I can't believe what you did to me
You had me thinkin' we was all right
Then you pulled your trick and walked right out on me
You had me thinkin' we was in the sky
Today I'd like to lay right down and die, [Incomprehensible]
If you've gotta be leavin' me
Well, that's well, I think it's fine, girl
You found just what you want
And it's goodbye, girl, girl, yeah
Goodbye, ...
Baby, if we can't solve any problems
Why do we lose so many tears?
Oh, so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same theme
But can't you see we've got everything
Going on and on and on
And everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you
And everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you
Go on and go free
Maybe you're too close to me
I can feel your body move
But doe...
We always try to be so honest but we're so serious
We have an understanding but that can't carry soul far enough
The green flag is rising and, baby, green means go
New world on the horizon and who deserves the love
More than you, more than me, both of us, so can't you see?
Baby, everywhere I look, I see people wakin' up
So why are we still sleepin'?
Everywhere I look, I see people shakin' off ...
The feeling we used to get whenever our lives met
Like smoke from a cigarette, it's fading away
Fading away, fading away
It hurts me to think about those times when there was no doubt
Like a cloud when the sun comes out, it's fading away
Fading away, it's fading away
You've changed and it's showing, baby
You've changed and it's showing, I wanna know
Where did our love go?
If I could have just ...
There's a thunder storm 'a brewin'
And the day is turning gray
There ain't much to say about the weather
The shower stall is leakin'
And the ceiling's fallin' in
And I'm getting twenty bills to every letter
I've got to move myself out to the country
I'm lookin' out for any place at all
I'm gonna spend another fall in philadelphia
A roving band of youths beat up on johnny
Everybody's gettin' ri...
Start anyway you can in the
Company of gifted and mad man
Some vote to go on and some fall away
Maybe growing past the pain, maybe going insane
Or maybe it's just that you don't feel
Iike singing again
And you know but you go on
Falling
Im down on the ground
But l'm falling
Allez...
Allons...
Floating through the clouds, going down
Lt seems a strange point of calm
With no past, no future, just...
She had sulky smile
She took her standard pose as she presented herself
She had sultry eyes
She made it perfectly plain that she was his for a price
But he said, "Leave me alone, I'm a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite"
He said, "Leave me alone, I'm a family man
If you push me too far I just might"
She wore hurt surprise
As she rechecked her make-up to protect herself
Dropped h...
When I'm hurt then I come on strong
I wanna break down
But I just keep it in
Being too strong is a weakness, girl
'cause when you fight the world
You know who's gonna win
And you say I won't look you in the eye
It's like talking to a wall
But a wall can crumble down
Yeah there's something that's deep inside
That's gotta be tough
Whenever you're around
I've got this foolish pride
And pride goes...
Just why do I want you baby
Anyone but a fool would let it be
Go on anywhere you take me
I don't want to know what's pulling me
If I fall so deep
With my eyes so wide
Then I hope that feeling isn't only mine
Fools rush in
Where the wise don't go
Fools rush in
And I'm a fool for love
Fools rush in
But the wise don't know
Fools rush in
Safe advice
I can't let it stop me
Love don't wanna know the...
Soothe me baby
Squeeze tite
Hold the moment
Fall thru the nite
Itch for pleasure
I scratch
Love's a treasure
I want to give back
I wanna give you
All that I've got
Attention's essential
Analysis not
It's not what you say girl
It's what you mean
So whisper with me
Share dreams
Stop
If you stop I'll remember so much
No one can steal what's real from my touch
Stop
What more can I say
There ain't ...
Does anyone know what love can cost
To take you so high, then leave you lost?
Is it a mystery that runs too deep
For such a simple heart?
Can anyone stop the hands of time
And put back the loving in your eyes?
Though it's his name I hear, when you are sleeping
I'll pretend it's mine
When they ask me how long I'm gonna love you
If the road to my heart will always stay true
I'll say, "Forever", ...
Dial your number, tape reply
I'm not at home right now but leave your name
And I will call you Friday night
Call you Friday goodbye
Hearing you and waiting make the days drag slowly
On the phone, oh no, the tape again
Don't say not at home, no way
Friday let me, let me down
Down
Tonight
Tonight
Friday let me, let me down
Down

Fonder of dangling his feet in the cool brook water
While the Reverend's daughter sat at his side
And fluttered his face with the fuzz of a dandelion
Long about noon time, floating 'cross the field
Georgie heard the peal of a bell being rung by the parson
Time for his lesson as much as he hated it
The preacher was teachin' him to play the accordion
"Do...
Never met a girl could make me feel the way that you do
You're alright
Whenever I'm asked what makes a my dreams real I tell 'em you do
You're outta' sight
Well twiddley dee, twiddley dum
Look out baby 'cause here I come
I'm bringing you a love that's true
Get ready, get ready

Remembering when we first met
We had that adventure in our eyes
But something got away I guess
In the everyday of our lives
And I don't know what keeps us here
Let's disappear and start all over again
Chorus
We can run away
Baby come as you are
You can look at my heart
As your Getaway Car
We can drive all night
It will be alright
Love can take us so far in my Getaway Car
All we need is the ope...
A young hog in the hood playin' chase
Smile on his face
Havin' fun cause it ain't nothin' like this place
And you don't wanna race
Fool I got the new ones on
And we can run from the corner to the newman's home
And after that we goin' go raid the plum tree
And stick ball down where those bos be
Mom's got the door open bumpin' marvin gaye

You've got sicilian imagination
Second generation
And a long way from the family crime
But you've got your own way
Sign on the line, sign on the line, on the line
You're a patent leather lover
With you're gucci-pucci pointed shoes
And you're swearing on your mother
That quot;all this could be yoursquot;
Sign on the line, sign on the line, on the line
Remember hard work me...
People always called me a fool
Because I never treated you cruel
I treated you good and you still walked away
But my stubborness still makes me say...keep sayin'
Girl I love ya'....girl I need ya' by my side
Girl I want you I've been true to you..but I'm still lonely and blue
do doop do do.......
At first I thought she was, and now that you see...now I know she took advantage of me...without y...
There's no decision
You look my way
I know that expression
And I know what it says
It would be so easy
The light is right
We forget in the moment
Who we are tonight
My body's singing
And the music's strong
No coscience speaking
Ain't nothing wrong
So give it up
That's the way it starts
You got to know
The old habits die hard
Give it up
Remember what I said
That kind of love
Used to happen ever...
gloryland, in gloryland
you're here in gloryland
It started with a feeling
And a dream was born in you
You hope and pray that come the day
You'll see that dream come true.
With every passing moment
You begin to understand
That you're bound for gloryland.
With a hunger in your heart
And with fire in your soul,
With passion rising high,
You know that you can reach your goal.
Believe in what you ...
You need to make it on your own
You wanna shake it, do it alone
Whatever happened, I did alright by you
I can feel the passion girl, it's still as strong
Though the places have turned around
Oh, I can be the one to wait
You take the easy way out
I'm no one to doubt
If that ain't enough for you
Ain't enough for you, go solo
You can take the lead
Play a brand new part, go solo, solo
You say ther...
Automatic action
Follow my reflection
I see myself in watching you
Lock into a vision, rising through the rhythm
Trance until the dance is through
Don't let emotion go the flow is all we know
And baby, we're doing it all the way
A step into the night or move into the light
Lately, we're going through the motions
How can we improve it
Ooh, you match my movement
Cryptic choreography
Jump up come...
Funny how the times can change as fast as we can run
Sad to say we had to part when the fun had just begun
Now he night is over
And I'm waiting for the day we can be together
And we can say goodnight and goodmorning
From the dark to the dawning
I can't believe that I'm in love and you're the one
I can hear a song of love and our song has just begun
When the music's over and we finally walk awa...
I've gotta lotta nerve a
Gotta lotta do do do
You got, you got it
Gotta lotta nerve a
You, you, you
Gotta lotta nerve a
Oh no, stop b****ing indiscretion
You're such an A1 lover
Since when are you perfection?
Never true blue to me
So why are you getting nasty?
Well, it's lucky for you
That I'm gonna keep dancing
Oh, I know
Everyone you know is perfect, perfect
Everything you do is perfect, per...

Tin can sound and a dead-eyed crowd
Can turn a sane man crazy and a crazy man sad
I can fight with the best, but I can only go so many rounds
And that's grounds for separation
Preparation for better things
Gonna grow a new set of wings
And fly away
Robot action, conditioned response
Manufacture feeling like the tool and die
I can turn it on but I'm holding back the guarantee
And tha...
Music: hall/j. allen
Lyrics: hall
When I met you I should've been warned
Ooh I could see you change from day to day
But you kept me guessing
Playing for fun
What'll you do what would you say
Strange moods and jealous anger
A kind of passion that I can't explain
You're high strung, that's attraction
But your act is driving me away
guessing games I don't wanna play those
Guessing game

Were you ever so in love
You couldn't wait to get to sleep and dream
About the one you wish was there beside you
In the past few days I've grown
To love your giggles on the phone
And how we hug so nicely
Chorus:
And from the first time that I saw you
Has I known you better then
I would've said those three old words
And from the first time I saw you
Had I known you better then
Now I'm gonna mov...

Girl we've come together
And then we've felt the sadness
That comes when it's thru
Do we walk our own way in a world turned blue
Oh it's true that I can't see rhyme or reason
And when feeling's out of season
What can I do
Except try to walk away with you
You and I are halfway there
On some road to somewhere
Can I be the one
You and I are halfway there
Can't we go all the way...
Instrumental by daryl hall
Don't want to face it but I know that it's time to go home, no
I cannot say what I want to say when we're alone
I gotta leave but I want to stay
But where you are is so far from the U S of A
When we're more than half a world, half a world away
It's so hard to be in love with you
It's so hard to be in love with you
It's so hard to be in love with you
Hard to be in love with you
Operator, intern...
Have I been, have I been away, been away
There's a chance that I won't know you
Maybe I won't like you
It's a long, it's such a long
Lady it's been a long time
We were lovers in a different story
Can you duplicate it
Can we make, can we make up
Can we make up the time girl
Have I been away, have I been away
Have I been away, have I been away from you for too long
Have I been away, have I been ...
Oceans, emotions, yeah we all feel the same
Afraid of undertow and great tidal wave
I may go under many hundreds of times
I keep on kickin', baby throw me a line
C.C. Sick, Mai de Mer
Try, try, try I'm holding on, holding my
Head above water
It's so hard to keep my head above water
Head above water
It's so hard to keep my head above water
No never envy the big fish in the pond
It's deep and da...
Lt seems it's getting harder
Yeah, it's so hard to find o lover
Okay the boys are getting better
But they still fall down under
Close examination, baby
Lt used to be essential
But that was purely elemental
Investigations always led to
One way conversations
Lt took me a little while to get
Myself acquainted
L'm just about ready for the
Right inspiration...c'mon now
Heart don't fail me now
Could...
The only consolation
In this situation
Is I know you're missing me
The way I'm missing you
I guess that you ain't sleeping
And the company you're keeping
They're all gonna offer you
Words of comfort too
Time will heal
That's what they say
But I can't help but wish
Tomorrow was today
I've been doin' heartbreak time
And there's no two ways about it
When you're in, you just can't doubt it
Doing h...
Heavy rain, lightning too
Heavy rain, when I'm with you
Seems like a thousand years
Since we both felt free
We've seen a million faces
All staring at you and me
But just like humphrey bogart said
Before he passed out on his bed
Here's looking at you kid
And the rocky road ahead
Heavy rain, lightning too
Heavy rain when I'm with you
You know the thunder comes like a lion's roar
But it leaves me...
Hi, open the door
Hi, open the door
It's alright
Another day and I'm spending time alone
I called your place but there is no one home
I've been layin' low but I'm thinkin' of you
Out there by yourself tryin' to find something new
Girl I thought what we had was so good that I'd never hear you say no
And for all that is worth, I can't think about ever lettin' go
But I'm lost for the words that I...
I wanna know what you dream, oh baby
Am I one with your fantasy
I wanna show you my deepest feelings
Ain't that how love's supposed to be
Give me love
hold on to me
Give me love
hold on to me
Give me dreams
hold on
...oh baby, give it up
Give me heart
hold on to me
Give me soul
hold on to me
Give me your smile hold on
...oh baby, give it all
I had enough of bad luck, oh baby,
All those nights ...
You know you've got to throw your body around
You say there ain't no way to scare you, knock you down
High wire routine is working for you
Ain't nothing there for you to hold on to
High wire so far to the end
So many chances to miss your step
If you stand up, oh babe
All on your own
If you fall down, fall down, fall down
Always alone
Hold onto yourself, baby
Hold on
'Cause no one else will
Hol...
Why does that restless part of me always see
Did I know love wouid show
And I'd find the passion I need
Look up ahead
All I see are worlds apart
Broken hearts
Looking for something more
Some magic they might feel
Chorus:
That's why l hold on
Holding out for love
There's only one I'm dreaming of
That's why l hold on
Hoiding out for love
But will that one heart wait for me
You know we take those...
Please return, come back, I've been saving your place
Too much time has elapsed, unreality, memory erases
And the rules and the rights and the wrongs don't apply
Far apart, so together is destiny weeded to fate
Now, I write the script, you direct my dreams
We're along on the beach for the passionate scene
And it's a drag to wake up with you, saying to me
How does it feel to be back?
How does i...
You push my buttons hard and don't even realize
What you're doing is killing my soul
Do you think I'm just some prize
You can win and then discard after the thrill is gone?
Well, listen then
I ain't gonna take it this time
I ain't gonna take that from anyone
I ain't gonna take it this time
Guess I'm gonna break out
You know I try to please, I lay awake at night
Trying to find the words you'll ...
No more trying
To hold someone close to my life
It's time for finding
Some way to get through, my sleepless nights
I can dream about you
If I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
Maybe that will make it all right, all right
Moving sidewalks, uneven under my feet
My true feelings, down deep below
Where the streets see me lonely for you
Just for you
I can dream about you
If I can't hold ...
Easy, ready, willing, overtime
Where does it stop
Where do you dare me
To draw the line
You've got the body
Now you want my soul
Don't even think about it
Say no go
I-- I 'll do anything
That you want me to do
And I'll do almost anything
That you want me too, ooh
But I can't go for that, No can do
No, I can't go for that, No can do
Oh, I can't go for that, No can do
I can't go for that
Can't g...
We've been through this time together
All in my mind, yeah, love was so alive
Oh, I never wanted for another
Then I saw the beginnings of a lie, oh
Good times and the bad times
Through the good times
And the bad times with me
Good times and the bad times
Yeah, I wonder why I never see
Good times and the bad times
Oh, maybe there was always
Something wrong
Good times and the bad times
Did I wai...
You and I have separate lives girl
You and I go different ways on roads that cross
When love and loss is ruled by fate
People have a tragic habit
Of letting love get in the way
They tend to lose their overviews and overplay
Something I wanna say
Something I've got to do
Feels like you're drifting away
And I don't wanna lose you
I'll try to find a way to encourage you
It's easy to convince myse...

Laughing's short but loving lasts
I can't mix the future with the past
Can I stay close to you?
I wanna stay close to you
You've got yours and I've got mine
And what we have is so hard to define
Just take a look at your lifeline
Ooh, you've got a lot to shine
And say baby
I wanna know you for a long, long time
Ooh, and baby
I wanna know you for a long, long time
Oh, darling, lady friend
We'll ...
I forgot just how to feel
City scene ain't no big deal
Soul deep so ya say
None of that takes my breath away
Oh I always seem to see
Both sides when they disagree
And neither one seems right
Too much city life
Is messin' with my inner lite
And everybody's too cool to believe
I wasn't born yesterday
You should know by now
So let's set the record straight
And we can carry on
I wasn't born yester...
This is our fork in the road, love's last episode
There's nowhere to go, oh no you made the choice
And now it's up to me, to bow out gracefully
You know you hold the key
But baby, whenever you call me, I?ll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be around
Oh, I thought I knew just what to say, now I found out today
When all the words have slipped ...
Oh, let's make it groove
Takin' it nice and smooth
Turn out the light, I can see your face
It's you and I, in the time and place
The radio playin' Teddy's groove
The city nights, nothin' love couldn't do
Oh baby, it's been too long
I need to feel the same thing
Oh that made that time our own
Oh, let's make it groove
Takin' it nice and smooth
I'm in a Philly mood
Oh, baby come down
I wanna hold...
Why do I go all to pieces
When you breezin' by
My desire make me shy, oh
The words I wanna say to you
But baby I'm afraid to
'Cause I've been a fool in love
Over and over again, hey, hey
You gotta know I'm in trouble
And I'm all undone
Got my heart in your hand
Understand
I can't cool down the passion
Can't stop the reaction
So be careful with a fool in love
Who is over his head again, hey, he...
Little girl, what's your name?
Now, don't you go lookin' at me like that
You might see I'm ashamed, what's your name?
Just talk with me, won't you talk to me?
Will you survive, learn to drive? I know you can't describe
The dreams you want to be, either stay or get away
I'm not playin' around, can't you tell the way I'm squeezin'
Your hand, I'm just a kid, don't make me feel like a man
Pretty g...
Why don't you write me
Call me on the phone
Send Western Union
You can find me home
I say I'm sorry
I said I'm sorry
You know I bled you
Led you on a lie
You say I fooled you
Who's the fool tonight
I say I'm sorry
I said I'm sorry

Love in motion
Walking on the ocean of your sorrow
Round turned the tables
Lost

Lopsided lovin' got me in the end

Spending my day thinkin' 'bout you girl
Being here with you, being near with you
I can't explain myself
Why I feel like I do
Though it hurts me so to let you know that
I look in your eyes to let me know how you feel
Let me know that love is really real
And it seems to me that I'm wrapped up in your love
Don't you know that I'm
Still in love, in love with you
Sho' 'nuff in love with you, hey

Waking with the flowers to a morning in the meadow
Settling down the evening with the hills
I'm kicking stones and walking all alone like a modern buried treasure
And it's all around and waiting there for free
If that's what makes you happy
Then I'd love to sing my song
And if it strikes your ear
Won't you sing along
Coming on the flow in the field that no one's ever run through
Sipping from a...
I've carried my thoughts for quite a time
It's so hard for me to keep them
And if I put them down into this book
It might be easier to sleep then
There's a lot of tunes that'll never be sung
Because the faith and rules have changes
Now I'm singing one last song
In honor of a lady who could turn my head around
And I'm thinking about her
A woo, woah, I'm thinking about her
I'm thinking about her...

All broken down inside

I've been used to seeing the world with the eyes of two
Now you're gone, no more window shopping with you
Guess I'll spend another day walking around
But don't think that I'm sorry babe, don't you think that I'm down
'cause you know it doesn't matter, you know it doesn't matter anymore
And that's what I'm here to tell you
You know it doesn't matter, yes it doesn't matter...
You must be thinkin' something
But you ain't sayin' nothing
You remember me?
I used to be your boyfriend
There ain't no point in reason
It only gets defensive
Why should we ruin the purity of the moment?
It's a laugh, what a laugh
It's so stupid I gotta laugh
And the funny thing is everyone thought
We were forever
It's a laugh, what a laugh
It's so stupid that I gotta laugh
And the other thing...

And I don't know what to say
When I'm not alone
You always find me where I lay
When you call my name and take my breath away

Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Alligator wrecked the bar last night
he's a trouble maker, he's a trouble man
I guess he had fun, to some people fun is a drag
Gathers lady had to hitch a ride

You'd never believe what they did to a fan
They found a 'c' on her back, ...
Baby's gone
Said she's movin' on
Telling me
I ain't comin' along
I thought you said you were satisfied
You've given up on everything we tried for, why?
How can you justify sacrificing our love
Justify
Sacrificing our love
Smoking gun
Hoid it in your hand
You can't deny
I'm the victim of your plan
Innocence with a guilty side
I don't understand
Tell me why oh why
How can you justify sacrificing...

You've got it bad for yourself
And nobody else can hold a candle to you

Don't take it too far
Won't you give yourself a chance?
You're enough as you are
Yeah, you might be okay
And it might be all wrong

Just don't get carried away
Oh Kerry, it's okay to carry ...
My friends wonder why I call you all of the time
What can I say
I don't feel the need to give such secrets away
You think maybe I need help, no I know I'm right all right
I'm just better off not listening to friends' advice
When they insist on blowing my bliss
I tell them this
When they want to know what the reason is
I only smile when alive, and I tell them why
Because your kiss your kiss is ...
Can you see my past
Can you find my future
Should I take it slower 'til my life is over
Oh Lady Rain is it I'll be going down in pain?
Lady Rain, lay your sobbin' hair down on my shoulder
Lady Rain, do your cloudy eyes see me much older?
All the days I've lost hoping and pretending
That my days would flow smooth and slow toward their ending
Oh Lady Rain is it I'll be going down in pain?

Flying gambling fools

Sometimes she's here and sometimes

You know, I can't imagine you were the magic boy so long ago
Your life and dreams are broken
You hate the world but you can't live alone
Ain't that fine?
I'm your friend that knows you and I'd like to tell you
That I think your laugh's a lie
Laughing boy, that's you layin' in the meadow

Would you work for a reason, lazyman?
Do your thoughts have expression, lazyman?
Does life pass you by while you don't even try?
To grab hold of a minute and use all the time that's in it, lazyman

Is your neck botherin' you, lazyman?
You're content to rely on the talented guy
Then you make a short edit and take all of the credit for the song

Big proud toad on Lemon Road

Fifteen miles and a heavy load

If you've got the time
The animals are kind to you

Batman lives on Lemon Road
Keeper of the family
No one knows the way it goes, yeah
Seems to be a mystery
If you've got the time

People don't read so easy
Never wanna say what's on their mind
Go from dreams to dollars
Then they wonder why the truth seems so unkind
They just hold on tighter and tighter
Running down the road that they know so well
Never wanna change the order
Too quick to say that time will tell
Let it out - unlock the box
Let it out - unravel the knots
Let it out - if you've got something to say
Let it o...
I'm a soul surviving
Love give me all or nothing
I used to wake in the morning and say
Can I get through another day?
Look around, I see everybody's running
Trying too hard to make the money
But we forgot to taste the honey
Oh babe, can we lose the confusion
Let love take control
Sweet soul got a hold on me
Let love take control
Sweet soul got a hold on me
Little thing can get you down

We've been through love time time again
Tried for true love with enemies and friends
Looked at romance every way
Now my heart can't take that anymore anyway
Chorus:
Let me be the one
One with you
Let me be the one
To make your dreams come true
All I wanna do
Is be with you one day
Let me be the one
One heart one way
You've been let down
You've been left alone
And remember when I look you home
...
I let you escape, slip through my fingers
We made our mistakes, but memories linger
Each time I turn a corner I swear I see your face
But I'm standing here alone in the wonder
What I really needed, what made me run away?
Was it just somebody's spell I was under
We all love on borrowed time, tomorrow's flying blind
And life's too short to be living without you
And life's too short, oh life's to...
Lilly, laughing lady
Does your smile disguise the tears inside
Lilly, lonely lady
Only silhouette your happy side
You give yourself to men who take your love
Then smile and watch them walk away
Are you tired of giving Lilly
Are you really happy
Lilly, laughing lady
Are you satisfied to live a lie
Lilly, lonely lady
Is it in the stars for you to try
Do you fulfill yourself with lies and dreams
...
Walking in time to the ringing bell
Water stained where the raindrops fell
On an island of green in a city sea
And traffic sound breakers roll in to me
I never thought I'd be up this morning
But London is calling to me
And I never thought that I'd find somebody
I never be caught, never be caught so easily
London, luck and love
What else could l be dreaming of?
The place the chance, the feeling...
For days and days goin' up and goin' down
Looking for a sign from you
What you want? Where you goin'?
What you thinking about? A lot of good it will do
Why are you fighting me?
Why are you teasing me?
Why are you wearing me?
If you're not at ease with me
I'm lookin' for a good sign
I know that it might be a waste of my time
I'm always looking for a good sign
I've gotta keep on tryin'
Beware of...
I used to think love was a dying art
Compassion couldn't live within a crowded heart
I saw my freedom in a poor man's eyes
Hope like a light, will to survive
A sense of dignity to hold up high
These are the simple things
That keep us all alive
And though the rich buy power for a time
One thing that money can't buy
Chorus
Love and compassion
only love and compassion
Give it to you
Give it to me...
You can say that I lied a lot you can
Throw up your hands
Pardon me, if the man you got
Wasn't part of the plan
I'll confess, if I'm wrong or not so you'll
Know where you stand
Love's a test and you've got to find out
If you're stronger
Then I am
Love hurts
Love heals
And it's the only thing that will keep
Us together
First we fight, then we fall asleep, then
We wake up as friends
With a kiss ...
In the of heart the country
There's a killer without a gun
We're afraid to be
No longer free
Just for loving one
So I I got to say say a prayer for you
In the heart of the darkness
There's a killer without a name
No where to hide
No mountain side
Cause it is all the same
So please oohhh please
Say a prayer a prayer for me ohohoh
CHORUS:
Out of the dark and silence
How in the world will we surv...
It's a long dark day
When we realize and understand
That we've come so far
Destiny lies close to home
L will do what l can
To keep my spirit safe and strong
If I fall on the way
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Chorus
Love is fire
Hate is stone
We desire
What we can't hold oh no
When there's anger
outa outa control
Hate is fire
Love is stone
Time deals it's hand
How can we live in tenderness?
...
I like this room, it's got me
Dancin' down and dirty on my knees
Get lit up, tell those lies
Wicked enough to melt your ice
I can see baby, touch on me
I can see most any possibility
Got to do it, got to use all my love
Too much is never enough
You've got to sing out, you've got to sing out
You've got to sing out, sing out, sing out
Love out loud, tell me what you wanna do
Love out loud
You've...
I've been quiet never spoke before about this
Takes a little time to say what I'm thinking
Let's run down the concept of
Love as we know it
I'm only happy when I'm flying
Then you catch me when I'm falling off
Freedom what I want
Freedom what I miss
I think about you
I realize, love revelation
Freedom what I want
Freedom what I choose
What about you?
I realize love revelation
And hey let's sit...
Ooh yeah, no, no, hey now, hey there
Lookin' back over the years
You know I've shed some tears
Told myself time and again
This time I'm gonna win
But another fight, things ain't right
I'm losin' again
It takes a fool to lose twice
Start all over again
Think I'd better let it go, yeah baby
Looks like another love T.K.O., oh baby
I think I better let it go, ooh, I won't
Looks like another love T...
People all over the world
Join hands
Start a love train, love train
People all over the world
Join hands
Get on the love train, love train
The first stop that we'll make
Will be england
Tell all the folks in russia,
In china, too get on board
Don't you know
It's time to get on board
it's time to get on board
Let this train keep on ridin',
Ridin' on through
Ridin' on through
People all over the...
It was always you and me and him
A whiskey sour, beer and gin
We were having fun
When the night was over
You'd go off together leaving me alone,
All alone
I stayed up every night, I had to find a way
I had to get to you
So I told you he was stepping outside
I said when you broke down and cried
Why don't you come to me
she said I love you like a brother
And that's how it's got to stay
Because I...
I should have heard you talking
Now I'm a dead man walking
I should have paid more mind
To the little things, the little things
Why is love so complicated
Maybe that's the we made it
Just tell me you won't go say it isn't so
Like on the radio
And if I could I'd write that song for you
If a song could make you cry
If a song could make you say goodbye
Could it change you mind
If a song could mak...
I'm a man, gonna make
I can walk all alone through a river of fire
'Cause my heart is true
Put my soul on the line
That's what I'd do, that's what I'd do
There's a power in passion
That I can't control
It's a natural reaction
And I can't let it go
I'm a man on a mission to love you
I'm gonna make you mine, gonna make you mine
I'm a man on a mission, I can't stop tryin' now
I'm gonna make you m...
She'll only come out at night
The lean and hungry type
Nothing is new, I've seen her here before
Watching and waiting
She's sitting with you but her eyes are on the door
So many have paid to see, what you think you're getting for free?
The woman is wild, a she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jaguar
Money's the matter, if you're in it for love you ain't gonna get too far
Oh, here she comes
Watch out...
Now I see a lot of people walking around and around
Terra firma turned them upside down
Too scared to reach out, maybe afraid of what they'll find
But a hand stuck in a pocket, come up empty every time, yeah
Now you better believe the writing on the wall
All for one and one for all
Woman to woman and m-m-man to man
Face to face, heart to heart, hand to hand saying
Mano a Mano, oh
Mano a Mano
M...
If you had a dream did it happen
If you stop and think for a little while
Try to make up faces that once were real
Even though it seemed like a lifetime
Wasn't really more than a short ride
But it left me memories
That time can't steal
Chorus:
Oh my...marigold sky
Gold leaf reflections on the ocean
Yeah I was lost in the light
Like sand in a shell
She holds me
We were tryin' to be so enlighten...
Me and Mrs. Jones, we got a thing going on,
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now.
We meet ev'ry day at the same cafe,
Six-thirty I know she'll be there,
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite song.
Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones,
Mrs. Jones got a thing going on,
We both know that it's wrong,
But it...
One for the money
One song I'm writing for you
And if you can't take me with you girl
Take this Melody for a Memory
Love in the morning
Love in the late afternoon
There'll be no words when I leave you girl
Just a Melody for a Memory
And if you can't take me with you
Take this Melody for a Memory
She cried when he left her
Her eyes went black with the blue
The infrequent letters
The sooner the ...

In the moonlite
Under startlite
Songs old as the night
Are what I've been dreamin' of
Everybody's hard as iron
Locked in a modern world
Dreams are make of a different stuff
I believe love will always be the same
Ways and means are the parts subject to change
M E T H O D O F L O V E
It's a method of modern love

Keep on missing each other
Our world's out of order
All I see is Missed Opportunity
And we
Keep on missing each other
Keep missing each other
Our world's out of order
All I see is Missed Opportunity
Will we ever learn
In trouble where will we turn
And when you're losing the fight
Who's your white knight gonna be
Feel you drift away
Oh baby you don't hear what I'm sayin'
We had a chance to stay...
Money changes everythin'
Money changes everythin'
Money changes everythin'
Money changes everythin'
Ever growin'
The dreams that we accumulated
Never knowin'
The demons that we created
Villains stole the spotlight
While love was waitin' in the wings
Left us with a long night
And a hunger for material things
When it's gone, gone baby
And we're livin' with ourselves again
Will it dawn on us darl...
I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside,
I've got the month of may.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. my girl, my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl. my girl
I've got so much honey
The bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. my girl, my girl
Talkin' 'bout my gi...
It's sad to think, we're not gonna make it
And it's gotten to the point where we just can't fake it
For some ungodly reason, we just won't let it die
I guess neither one of us wants to be the first to say goodbye
And I keep wondering, wondering what I'd do without you, baby
And I guess you must be wondering the same thing too
So we go on, go on together, living a lie, yeah
'Cause neither one o...
Heaven has sent you from above, baby
Love that I needed for so long baby
Never before did I feel this heart break
Thrill to you baby
Tho' I'm far away
Oh tell me why was my life
Never sweet as soul when soul cries
Can you open my eyes and let me know where love lies
Chorus:
Try to be close to me
Never let me go, girl
Tlc finally
Don't ever let me go
Let me hear you say so
I was a witness to di...
I wanna go up where something matters
I wanna blow up where matter scatters
I wanna live into the future
I want to give... more girl
Next step
No side stepping this time
Cross over life on the line
One thing to talk big
Go to follow thru
All set
Got to get past the present too
Don't want to reach out for yesterday
Don't want to block the shock of the new
I wanna see what new love will bring

All the things that used to mean a lot to me
Don't matter anymore
Ain't no surprises, and we're too young
To come to that
Oh, time has a way of lessening love
You know that's true, nothing at all
Nothing at all, nothing at all
We spent last night like every night
Sitting and staring
I wish we could fight at least
That would be something
Oh, time has a way of lessening love
You know it's true, ...
Old girlfriend, she come walkin' down the street
When I saw her it was like seeing a stranger
But even if I try to work it up, no emotions are there
That's when I know what you are to me
And how much I really care
Number one
Number one
You're number one with me
Number one
You're number one with me
Blast from the Past say, "Why don't you call me anymore
It's been too long and some nights I need...
So whadya want?
Is it d?j? vu or have I been here before?
I don't know but
Everything about you is still the same
Everything about you is so alive
Too much time around, you start to kick my ass
Too much time away, I lose my lease

I'm tired of playing on the team
It seems I don't get time out anymore
What a change if we set the pace face to face
No one even trying to score
Oh oh I can feel the magic of your touch
And when you move in close a little bit means so much
Ooh yeah, you've got to understand baby
Time out is what I'm here for
One on one I wanna play that game tonight
One on one I know I wanna play that
One on o...
I can't see you when I look at you
Only see you in my memory
When I find you it's just outside my sight line
Between experience and fantasy
Don't bear up to close inspection
Close inspection of the cold hard facts
Blow in and out of my life like a spirit
My eye can't see you but my mind reacts
Only a vision in the corner of my eye
Only a vision that I see out of the corner of my eye
Only a vis...
Wonder why I'm falling, guess I'm just that kind of man
Looking for an answer to why I'm in this place I'm in
Walking through a door that's closing while another slams in your face
Neighbors say that you're imposing when you walk in an open space
Tell me who, tell me why
Only love can make me happy
Only love can make me cry
Only love can sanctify me
If you can doubt it, can you tell me why?

Ooh, brighter
Ooh child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh child, things will be brighter
Ooh child, things are gonna get easier

Some day
We'll put it together and we'll get it all done
Some day
When your head is much lighter
Some day
Walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Some day
When the world is much brighter

I know how you spent your time
Too many people know, you weren't alone
Your after hours followed you home
"Oh I heard", he said
She was open all night
While I was away
You were open all night
Don't ask me to tell you who told me
She was open all night
While I was away
You were open all night
Don't ask me to tell you who said
I gotta lotta friends that I don't need
They say, "You'd rather hear ...
I need you more than anyone else in the world
But what you need more than me
Is the help I can give to you girl
That's what you need
You can make it happen
I can show you the way and help you to say
How you're feeling inside
Lower your shield is it's real and you feel it
Then what can come out of me
Can come out of you
I know the truth, I know it baby
The love that comes from me
Can come out o...
You said you never loved me, it was all a iie
Don't you know spite is a weakling's emotion
You said you didn't know, but you didn't try
And when you gave up it killed my devotion
Told me you ran around
Needed your fun
That's over, water under the bridge
Long gone
Chorus:
Then you call out of the blue
Like I still care about you
Out of the blue
Like l can't live without you
Out of the blue
Who ...
Shake it up is all that we know
Using the bodies up as we go
I'm waking up to fantasy
The shades all around
Aren't the colors we used to see
Broken ice still melts in the sun
And times that are broken
Can often be one again
We're soul alone
And soul really matters to me
Take a look around
You're out of touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head
When you're not around
You're out of touch
I'm ...
Just imagine, you were off
On an island in the sea
With a love oh so warm
And sweet cup of tea
Will you think of the time
With your friends and mine
Sleeping days, living nights
Leaving those past times behind
Say these words if you can
They may never come again
Lift your eyes, see the night
There's no time to pretend
But will you think of the time
With your friends and mine
Sleeping days, liv...
Perkiomen, somewhat cloudy
Indian water slipping down a mountain stream
You know what I mean
Painted lady touch the water
Forest standing, sentry over mossy wall
She comes when you call
Outside, you've got me slipping like a honey slide
I'll take a ride with a willow weeping
Tears of strength into the stream
And the waterfall is a tense of all
Perkiomen, somewhat cloudy

I used to be a rolling stone
You know if the 'cause was right
I'd leave to find the answer on the road
I used to be a heart beating for someone
But the times have changed
The less I say the more my work gets done
'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom
From the day that I was born I've waved the flag
Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man
Yeah gave me peace of mind my dadd...
Pleasure Beach
You will look but never find
That neglected place in time
Like a dream that's out of reach
Pleasure Beach, not a place you left behind
Or a place you'll ever find
It's a dream just out of reach
It's a place called Pleasure Beach
Ain't no waves in a swimming pool
Ain't no fun 'til you break the rules
We're ever young but never free
I guess that's how that it was meant to be

Radio, radio
Turn up the power all night
Now take your pick of the modulation
Like a kid in a candy store
Now it's a hand carry situation
It's made for lying on the beach
Or dancin' in the streets
You got your pertinent information
Or you can tune in to hear the scores
Now there's a power in a million stations
You can't ignore
Come on and listen to the
Radio
Turn up the power, power
Radio
Rock...
You know there's something you need
Right here and now
To fill the space inside of yourself
Money love or power
When you want to have the number one first run anyone
You're crazy 'til you own them
You ought to know better than that
The more that you buy the less you get back
It's a case of possession obsession
Gimme Gimme
The compulsion to count the percentage of time
Spent between two lovers
...
My friends, don't understand it
They don't know what you've got for me
My life, too complicated
And I need, sure need some simplicity
Hoo, the love is ever growing
And there has to be a reason why it works for me
You know, baby how to move me
What you give to me is elemental, can't you see?
That you take the pain from me
Only you know my fantasies
And you, you make me realize
Girl, you know th...
I see you, you see me
Watch you blowing the lines when you're making a scene
Oh girl, you've got to know what my head overlooks
The senses will show to my heart
When it's watching for lies you can't escape my
Private eyes they're watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes they're watching you
Private eyes they're watching you
Watching you, watching you, watching you
You play with words...
Don't wanna open your heart
You're afraid from the start
That a new love's gonna let you down
There is something you should know
Before you give up and go
I don't believe in the run around
I just want to define myself
And show you how I feel
If a promise ain't enough
Then a touch says everything
Got to hold you in my arms
Till you feel what I mean
Know that my heart just tells me what to say

Lyrics by daryl hall, john oates
One man says, quot;look to heaven for true lovequot;
One child so blind with the stars in her eyes
So why do you think that could be right
She tries but there ain't no way to buy second sight
Oh those eastern ways on western nites
I want to be the heart of your desire
Realove is a passion play
Realove is a passion play

You're a rich girl and you're goin' too far
'Cause you know it don't matter any way
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a b****, girl but it's goin' too far
'Cause you know it don't matter any way
Say money, money won't get you too far
Won't you too far
Don't you know, wo hoh, that it's wrong, yeah
To take what he's givin' you
So far gone, oh, you can g...
I've been trying so hard to close my eyes
Dawn is rising under those cloudy skies
Days in darkness
Seemed like they'd never end
But now the rules are changing, girl
We can begin again
And we'll be right as rain
Who's been fooling you
They've been cruel to me
The kind of love we share
Is hard for those people to see
Stormy weather
Still the chill remains
What they thought was lost forever
Has b...
Don't need no father figure to tell me what to do
Don't need no newspaper to tell me what is new
Don't want no one in power to take away my dreams
Cause they'd sell our souls for the rash of short term victory
Used to be some sincerity
Now there's only greed to fill paper fantasies
I wanna rip it up
I see so many people trying to change their lives
I see my friends falling in love wars all the...

Rock steady baby
That's what I feel now
Let's call this song exactly what it is
Step n' move your hips
With a feelin' from side to side
Sit yourself down in your car
And take a ride
And while you're movin'
Rock steady
Rock steady baby
Let's call this song exactly what it is
What it is -what it is - what it is
It's a funky and low down feelin'
What it is

Standing on the side line, waiting for the right time
That girl knows her part, jammin' with my heart
Didn't wanna be here but now that I see her
I know why I ran and why I'm back again
She makes me lose control
And I do believe the girl can see into my soul
It shakes me now
She says, she wants my love
Ooh that's too much
Ooh that news excites me
The girl got rockability
Think she'll go all th...
I can't live without you, I can't let go, oh no, yeah
Everybody tells me, "Daryl, walk away"
So, they don't know the power we have together
Ain't no one can tell me what to believe
Oh baby, you move my soul like a rocket to God, hey, yeah
Oh honey, I wanna fly to your arms
I dream too much about you, both the good and the bad
Ooh, maybe I'm too jealous but I don't really care
Everytime you hur...
You made me love you, too blind to see yeah
Tomorrow comes, Casanova might bleed
Having so much
How could I be so far wrong oh?
l've always known, pain is part of pleasure
For someone else
Hoping it would never cloud my soul
Taking me so long to fall, oh no
Romeo is bleeding, can't hold out forever
Romeo is bleeding, hurting for himself
Romeo is bleeding, no pulling it together
Romeo is bleedi...
All you want is the shadow behind me
Don't you know that it's nowhere to stand?
What if I didn't call you tomorrow
Maybe, you'd fall apart after that
You keep it so tight, keep it so tight, l can't stand it
There?s no room for love when it's ended
So give me room to breathe
The choice to stay or leave
I don't know what you need
Just give me room to breathe, yeah
If you keep in your mind there'...
If you're looking for love
And you don't find it in my eyes then you're
Tunning from paradise
Look before you leap, darling
Don't you know that you're
Running from paradise
I caught you staring at the ceiling
Captured by the mirror up there
Okay, okay, I see the separation
Makin' love down here
While you're watching in the air
And if you're looking for love
And you don't find it in my eyes the...
I like to read and I like to write
But you could persuade me to put the book down tonight
Just please don't ask to be a song heroine
It's not that easy just to stick you in, stick you in
Oh babe, I know you're right
But there's no time and it's not the night
I'd have to face you again and again
Although you know I'd like to stick you in, stick you in
They're all sacred songs
They're not easily...
Baby hair with a woman's eyes
I can feel you watching in the night
All alone with me and we're waiting for the sunlight
When I feel cold you warm me
When I feel I can't go on you come and hold me
It's you and me forever
Sara smile, won't you smile a while for me
If you feel like leaving you know you can go
But why don't you stay until tomorrow?
And if you want to be free, all you have to do is...
Say it
Say it isn't so
Say it
Say it isn't so
Say it isn't so painful to tell me that you're dissatisfied
Last time I asked you I really got a lame excuse
I know that you lied
Now wicked things can happen you see 'em goin' down in war
But when you play in a quiet way that bites it even more
Say it
Tell me what you want yeah I'll do it baby I promise right now
Say it
Who propped you up when you...
What a crew we made up there was faustus
Burnt out from playing too many bars, on a jersey shore
And sammy, almost bald from ironing her hair too much
Back in '64
And me and phazon out of phase, of least my temporary
Name for the day
Oh, blown away and screaming
All blown away and screaming
All blown away and screaming thru' december
We crossed state lines we were burning
Although the cold cou...
Imagine a world where the truth always changes
The more that you listen, the more you can hear
A world full of questions and no single answers
Memories a minefield of dangerous tears
Lcons are symbols,
They haunt us through time
Anger's a weapon,
That seems to divide
Chorus
Along the road,
That leads to desire,
Inside our secret heart
Pleasure we take
Is our desire
We found our secret heart

Oh yeah
Send me baby, send
Ooh
Pam, pam, param
Ta, ra, ra, ram
Cafe cats are waiting, loves anticipating
Coffee steaming on a rainy day
Couldn't stay at home, all those souls alone
Dropping by and looking for another taste
See you smiling from across the bar
Take a little wine, have a good time, let's see
Are you waiting for the night to start?
Baby, I'll come around if you're here for me

To play to get rich and die baroque is wrong
If you write a song for God, will he sing along?
While rows of robot symphonies read on
Is that the way that you want it played?
Manuscripted memories
I can breathe
Sound with no electricity
I can see concentration lines on the face of serious music
Manuscripted memories
I can breathe
Sound with no electricity
You know I can see concentration lines

Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night
Looking for the fight of her life
In the real time world no one sees her at all
They all say she's crazy
Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart
Changing moment into light
She has danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance
It can cut you like a knife
If the gift becomes the fire
All the while you're stuck between

Our love's grown older seems like its colder
Than the rock so which l carved your name
On down the road we walk in separate shadows
Now there's nowhere else to go
And when we read the book of time
We'II see that we were blind but tried to understand
War of words, no one survives
These words of war cut deep inside
War of words the truth, the lies
These words of war hurt more and more. more and ...
They met on the dance floor in the old high school gym
He fell like a rock, she kinda liked him
And his heart beat like thunder when they moved 'cross the floor
When the music was over, she slipped out the door
Yeah, a man loves a woman but he can't understand
Why she's sad when she stares at the ring on her hand
Then she sits in some club, where the long shadows fall
Drop a coin in a jukebox,...

Some men call half way around the world
If they've got a phone game to play
Then again some men
They call their mom every day
Old boys drink bad beer and throw
The cans out in the street
Playboys sit and sip red wine
Some drink malt whiskey neat
And if you can, you talk about some men
Baby if you can, you can talk about some men

I feel like I could run away
Looking at a darker day
Oh, I'm pulling the shades away from my eyes
It's true, the moody manners come and go
And it's better that you never know
Some things are better left unsaid
Some strings are better left undone
Some hearts are better left unbroken
Some lives are better left untouched
Some lies are better off believed
Some words are better left unspoken

Can't stop driving, I don't know why
So many questions, I need an answer
Two years later, you're still on my mind
Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart?
Who holds the stars up in the sky
Is true love just once in a lifetime?
Did the captain of the Titanic cry?
Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know why I w...
Words can never change
What our hearts have denied
And all the sweet memories
Won't bring the love back to life
And the more that we try
The more it's gonna make you see
No words, hope, anything
Will bring back life to your dream
All night it took me to learn
Oh baby, baby how to say
The love just won't work
Just for once in my life
Do I wanna go with what's right
It's gonewe've got to move on...
Yeah you've been so close, oh baby
In my world always gone with someeone
Seeing you on your own
Lt's like some light, so bright is turning on
See you standing there oh baby
Feel a change in the air
Everywhere
Why didn't I know
That you're the one that I've been waiting for
Yeah, there's something about you
That I never knew
Why didn't I see your smile before
Yeah, there's something about you

Sooner or later it's a matter of money
And then it's just a matter of time
You can say you don't care and you think it's funny
But baby it's your life on the line
You're selling yourself and it's a matter of fact
Your love is your life and your life is your act
So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time
Ya gotta have something that always rhymes
Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time
Ya gotta have so...
He heard a voice call his name
Pulling hard and telling him to make some change
He let a lot pass him by
Sacrificed his sacred fire to buy some time
To let it go sounds easy
What used to be a certainty
Is shifting with the sands of time
Sometimes a mind changes
Then another heart's got to fly away

Then another heart's got to fly away

Typical talk in the daytime
At Nite - only hot desire

Riding out along the river
Stoppin' by the pines
It's nice for someone speaking
To be heard by heart and mind
Lying on the needle floor
The city seems so far
Moving with your eyes and smile
Your words told who you are
Sunday gray
One window brings the morning
And your words like dawn
Have opened up my eyes
I've been on a sleepy ride
Without much time for thinking

Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heart aches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love?

I wanna run but there's no place to go

Starting all over again
Starting all over again is gonna be rough, so rough
But we're gonna make it
Starting all over as friends is gonna be tough, on us
But we gotta face it
We lost what we had that's why it hurt so bad
It set us back a thousand years
We're gonna make it up though it's gonna be rough
To erase all the hurt and tears
Starting all over again is gonna be hard
But I pray that the ...
When did you stop loving me
When did I stop loving you
When did the blue skies start to
Gather clouds
When did understanding start
Closing down
One day it seemed right, then
Tomorrow it was gone
Oh yeah the lovelight burned down
Too far, burned too far
When did you stop loving me
When did I stop loving you
When did you stop missing me
When I was far away from you, oh...
Why do the grey skies s...
Whatever happened to you
The one that was so beautiful
I could count on you to make my life a little brighter
I always thought you were built to last
But I never saw anything fall apart so fast
You were born in freedom
To be a slave to your inhibitions
Inventing excuses and proving the right to back up your condition
But a soul like that ain't tied too tight
And it's liable to scatter all over...
I was lying there
Lying on the beach
I dreamed you where there
Feel the heat
The sun and the waves
When you touch my hand
We were on a desert island
I had a dream
I was swept away
You and I are on an island
Where I thought the storm would never end
I saw your light on the horizon
And I knew that I was blown away again
No it doesn't matter
Yeah, it doesn't matter
'cause nothing lasts forever
'c...
Yeah, baby
Ooh, what's you gonna do baby
All right, yeah
Ain't it funny I'm tied to the magic of your caress
Ain't it lovely how we fit together
Girl you're the best
And it seems like we've been talking forever
Words and wine and we've been lost in time
On no, you're touching emotions I used to hide
Too deep inside
12:45, quarter to one
We're talking all night, talking all night

When I look in your eyes I can see there's more than passion there
Something ugly and lovely is tuning in just behind your stare
Yeah, I've seen it before and I think that I'd know it anywhere
So tell me girl what you want
I know you know
Grin and bare it, no no I like what you're wearing
You gotta leave it on all night
As above so below so they...
Thank you for walking
Thank you for spending one day,
With a stranger
Good morning. hello choose a color, carnation
We'll walk along.
Down round the pond, up the hill bricks and steeples
It's not all gone... I recall
Thank you for walking
Thank you for spending one day,
With a stranger
Thank you for talking
And showing the way to a stranger
Wining and dining what a september
From bags by the r...
I spent last night trying to write to you
But the words wouldn't come,
I couldn't go on
And the telephone won't do
I'm sick and tired of hearing
quot;you're never homequot;
Yet I'm sick in the head and the hotel
Beds don't feel right
Though I hope it doesn't show
I feel a hollow down below
And there's nothing, nothing for me to say
I feel the emptyness inside me
The emptyness inside me
I have ...
The farther away I am,
The farther away I am
Is it just a cloud passing under
I don't want to lose you.......
She's the girl who used to be
In the town that can't remember
Just a face you use to see
In a show one past september
Another child star who didn't get far
As she hoped to
She's got re-runs for memories....
She don't want sympathy
Or pity from me
She wants the chance to do it over
Just to prove that she can
There's no sympathy
Or pity from me
Just the chance to do it over
To prove that she can...
There was something about the way you left tonight
That really tore my heart
I remember the look in your eyes, it really ripped me apart
Oh, the look, one last time, it can't be the last time
I gave so much to make you mine, how can it be?
It's the second time around I've had this vision
And I don't like it, no
When it happened before, I knew I'd never come back
All the way
Oh, the look, one l...
Time will tell, give some new meaning, now
What it really takes to survive
Oh, time will prove
That my fears, all were coming true
Now that you're leaving my life
Clouding up, I think I see rain and now
Oh no, I'm feeling the pain, oh
So far the omens are saying now
That a stormy time is coming again
The sky is falling
No early warning
There's no returning
It's the end of the loving
The sky is...
The way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you do
You got a smile so bright
You know you could have been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could have been a handle
The way you sweep me off my feet
You know you could have been a broom
The way you smell so sweet
You know you could have been some perfume, yeah
Well, you could have been anything that you wanted to
And ...

Woman don't need no run around
Don't need no truth in disguise
She only goes by
That look of love in her eye
There ain't no other side to see
She plays it so easily
And I gotta love her -ah-
When she shows it to me
Oh the woman comes and goes
When the morning comes she goes
Yeah the woman comes,
And goes when she's satisfied
I might not see her for days
Then she bumps in, ...
They started as children and grew to be friends
He with his sculptor's hands she with her needle
They went through some bitter times alone and together
They were lovers and friends, but friends more than
Lovers
Sharing each other with their own private worlds
He knew that she needed him, he couldn't come
He needed her, but she could not answer his needs
He sculpted he form only both of them kn...
Maybe I'm on Rocky Mountain time
But I don't know, what's up with you
Could fake it out, say hey never mind
But someday livin' loose will get to you
And you say baby please, I'm cryin' tears
Will I hear it deep inside of me?
Maybe you'll decide, you're outta here
Anything can happen, anything can be
This time
You can't walk away
Gotta have you say
Make it clear
This time
Gonna face your fears
...
Words can never change
What our hearts have denied
And all the sweet memories
Won't bring the love back to life
And the more that we try
The more it's gonna make you see
No words, hopes, anything
Will bring back life to your dream
All night
It took me to learn
Oh baby baby baby, how to say
This love just won't work
Just for once in my life
Do I wanna go with what?s right
It's gone, we've got t...
Blue skies for today
Don't need no more lonely nights
All the black and blues have made me
Yeah, they made me see the light
Down and out but always dreamin'
Gonna dream the love to grow, oh
I think the sun was in my eyes
But this time, the time won't pass me by
Lucky on the second try, lucky on the second try
This time, the time won't pass me by
Feel so lucky, baby
Just to have another try, oh...
Maybe I speak too soon
Maybe I play too hard
And I listen to major worries
In a minor way
You sent your message to me
You made a move that I'd understand
When you moved from a ticket in line
To a room in L.A.
There was a time split second
I could have said please
The fool around and my guard
Was down by a few degrees
An unguarded minute, watch out
Has an accident in it
An unguarded minute, wat...
Make an amendment to the constitution
To preserve the state of our union
Stop believing what you say to me
There's a tragic gap in credibility
When the light is gone from your eyes
And re-entry may be denied
Do I want to expatriate
Or I, I live in the United State
Inflationary insecurity
'Cause a love ain't worth as much as it used to be
Clean break, running away
Should I work it out some way
...
Good loving
The girl's got plenty good lovin'
Ask me how I know and I'll tell you so
Used to be my girl
I respect her when she was mine
I used to neglect her
She wanted more than I could give
But as long as I live she'll be my girl
She used to be my girl
She used to be my girl
Oh, her personality
The girl was so right for me
She's my girl
And If I had the chance once more
I'd take her back
As ...
Wait for me please
Wait for me, girl
Midnight hour almost over
Time is running out for the magic pair
I know you gave the best that you have
But one more chance couldn't be all that hard to bear
Wait for me please
Wait for me
Alright, I guess that's more than I should ask
But won't you wait for me please
Wait for me
Although I know the light is fading fast
You could go either way, is it easier...
Hey, hey
Baby, you're only a sleeping beauty for a little while
Hoping no prince heats up your day
That you could be lonely all this time is unbelievable
Playing deaf and dumb, just afraid
Gotta be high when you're walking on fire if you want to
Gotta be cool when you're breaking the rules because you want to
Gotta be strong, really got to move on, I know you want to
Gotta be true, you do what...

He's a war baby son of zorro
War baby
Been through momma, the bomb and 'nam
He's a war, he's a war
He's a war
He's a war baby
He's a worn baby, born in '45
He's a torn baby, but he's still alive
Ate puffed wheat, x-rayed his feet
Scared baby, ain't in the atomic age
War baby
Water ice, sleeveless fights, despot, I know, yes, I know
Angel eyes, simoniz, yes, I know

Our love's grown older
Seems like its colder
Than the rock on which
I carved your name
On down the road we walk
In separate shadows
Now there's nowhere else to go
And when we read the book of time
We'll see that we were blind
But tried to understand
War of words, no one survives
These words of war cut deep inside
I thought our love would never end
Like letters in the sane
Our passion's washed ...
I hear you call me, waterwheel
Spin round, round in a circle
Gracing my child dreams on fantasy hill
Spin round, round in a circle
Flash Paddles sending a spray to the air
Lately, my thoughts are still-
With you there as you spin round
Round in a boyhood daydream
Spin round
My thoughts are drifting to a quieter time
Spin round, round in a circle
Green covered slippery water-rocks I used to cli...
There comes a time when we need a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying, oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We're all a part of god's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need
We are the world
We are the children
We are th...
When my would is turning
When it's turning upside down
When alli see is rain
When I think the night won't end
I just think of you
And I can see the sun again
Wherever would I be without you
If I didn't have you
Whatever would I do now, baby
Wherever would I be without you
I'd be nowhere. I'd be nowhere
When the dreams I dreams all seen a million miles away
When I'm sure I'll never win
When it'...
Some people are made of plastic
You know some people are made of wood
Some people have hearts of stone
Some people are up to no good
But baby, I'm for real
I'm as real as real can get
If what you're looking for is real loving
Then what you see is what you get
What you see is what you get
I said what you see is what you get now
I said what you see is what you get now, baby
I'm real, it's the be...

Brother, brother, brother, there's far too many of you dying

War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate

I saw on the tv we're sellin' arms to the enemy
So he can blow us all down
When we charge with the cards in our hands
And men in power places are resigning
'cause even in high seats the woman is still fighting with the man
And tho I thought the time of the tough guy was just about over
Here comes another savior to stir the soldiers in the field
But what do the generals think about while the so...
Tell me what world you're living in
I'm trying so hard to understand
Searching my soul just so find any line
That connects me to whatever you are hiding
Remember how we used to be
We shared the best baby, the best of everything
Now it seems like we're slowly drifting apart
Tell me when did we stop communicating
Heart to heart
Chorus:
What's in you world
What'cha trying to hide from me

When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me and if I know she's worried
Then I would feel that same misery
We've been through so much together
We stand as one and that's what makes it better
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
Just what she means to me, now
Oh, you just wouldn't, you just wouldn't understand
People can't say she's no good
But oh,...
Woman don't need no run around
Don't need no truth in disguise
She only goes by
That look of love in her eye
There ain't no other side to see
She plays it so easily
And I gotta love her -ah-

Oh the woman comes and goes
When the morning comes she goes
Yeah the woman comes
And goes when she's satisfied
I might not see her for days
Then she bumps in, in a haze

If there's enough to go around
If there's enough to go around why can't I get mine
If everybody knows they've been lied to
If everybody knows it, then why are they waiting on a gas line
I think it must be a test to weed the best from the rest
But whatever they're doing is driving us out of our minds
It drives us out of our minds
But we always take it 'cause
Who said the world was fair
Or that ...
Why do lovers
Break each other's hearts?
I'll never know
Why I don't understand
He's always saying
That there's no one else
While he's doin'
What hurts the most
When you tell a lie
You're always found out
And it's wrong
Use up your patience
But she's back again
Crying and laughing
Does she love the pain?
And when you tell a lie
You're always, found out
It's wrong
The light from your star is glowing
Yeah, I see you in the magazine
Your face seems older now, more knowing
But I prefer a woman to a teenage queen
The wine and the confusion
It's your game and you play it so cool
That night seems like an illusion
In your hotel room
German eyes, blonde disguise
Never really knew who I was talking to
But if you're supposed to be such a mystery
Why was it so eas...
How many hearts can have everything
Never ever found the one and all the fire it brings
I wanna try more now, than I dared before
I've got to know what passion is
Girl I've got to find the love
Day to day nothin' there, I had to let go
Heard a call that I resisted, 'cos it had no soul
When you get and never give it
It's so cold
You're something else, oh I know
I've got this wildfire that only ...
Well I'm looking at her from a rock 'n roll tower
With the windows, it's eyes
And it's black stained sides that can't be climbed
'Cause they're slick as wet glass
And the gate lets the force out, but thru'
None shall pass
But when I'm with you, it's just me in my time
Guess, I've taken some form, who knows which time around
But one of the reasons is to unite me with you
I'm sure of that baby, ...
Too much time is wasted on the world
Too much time is wasted on you, girl
Indifferent or cold
A dragged-up scene from an old dream
Does it surprise you where those feelings can go?
Too much power is wasted on the wrong words
Too much power is wasted on the words
And if there's one thing I've learned through the years
It's how to pour my heart out without tears
Without tears
Earth magic
Looking...
When we kiss that way
I search for words that
Might explain
How can a love go so deep
Girl, it's in my blood
It'll always be a part of me
If we stay together
Or if we go our separate ways
I know... love will last forever
The sun may someday lose it's light
The moon may not shine one night
Your heart will always have a home
It is written in stone - written
In stone
Seasons go by and minds

Today I saw somebody
Who looked just like you
She walked like you do
I thought it was you
An' as she turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed
'Cause it wasn't you
Wasn't you
You are everything
And everything is you
You are everything
Everything is you
Oh, you are everything
And everything is you
How can I forget
When each face that I see
Brings back memories
Of being with you...
You burn me up I'm a cigarette
You hold my hand I begin to sweat
You make me nervous
Ooh I'm nervous
It must be real bad karma
For this to be my dharma
With you
You burn me up I'm a cigarette
Life with you is a loser's bet
You make me crazy
Ooh I'm going crazy
Your therapeutic antics
Well they really make me frantic
With you
Strategic interaction irreducible fraction
Terminal inaction and a bi...
What I want you've got
And it might be hard to handle
Like the flame that burns the candle
The candle feeds the flame
What I've got is full stock
Of thoughts and dreams that scatter
You pull them all together
And how I can't explain
Well, well you, you make my dreams come true
Well, well, well you, you make my dreams come true
On a night when bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin wi...
Situation hollow
Loving chained to dollars
I can't live with your totalitarian
Standards
Sitting in the back seat
Beauty on a back street
Cleaning in a k-mart dress, now you're
Designed by dior
Oh my... you must be good for something
You're much to good for me

Boobs on every station
You think it's free 'cause they show it

You who lie

You'll never learn

You'll never learn
No you'll never
You could change

Can?t find the reason to stay with you
By now a reason should appear
Anybody else could understand my fear
That you're much, too much
You're much, too much
Much, too much, too soon
You're much, too much, too soon
Don?t think I'm blown away by what I am
It's just a job that keeps me travelin', man
One thing I've learned is how to take my time
And you?re much, too much
You're much, too much

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it
Baby
But baby, baby I know it
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Oh that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, oh, oh, oh

Now it's gone, gone, gone, oh, oh, oh
There's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you

I remember when I used to be the jealous kind
I got over it, now you're taking over my old line
You're caring too much about what I say
You're wondering too much about what I do

Imagination's got the best of you
I ain't doin' nothing that you could really say was wrong
Just one oversight and no, that didn't last too long
Listen, you're caring too much about what I sa...
