Billy Squier - Tale Of The Tape / Don't Say No (2004) by Billy Squier (보컬) on maniadb.com

1. I thought I knew the Story. I thought I'd seen it all
Those days of love and glory. But now I hear you call
Chourus:
Calley Oh
See there's nowhere to hide
Calley Oh
I can feel you inside
Don't you know
That I can't hold back
I keep on coming after you

2. You never compromise me. You never find it hard
You never recognize me. You throw me off my guard

Ch: Calley Oh
With the roads that you pave
Calley Oh
You can have it your way
Don't you know
That I can't hold back
I keep on coming after you

Bridge:
I go chasing moonshine racing you may wonder why
If I find my true love ever
I will never
I will never say good bye


3. I'm past the point of caring. It's just your point of view
I'm Past the point of sharing. I gave it all to you

Ch: Calley Oh
You can see thru my eyes
Calley Oh
You could never disguise
What you know … That I can't hold back
I keep on coming after you
Calley Oh
You're my nights and my days
Calley Oh
Finding my way
Don't You know that I can't hold back
I keep on coming after you.

The rich kids got the money
The rich kids play the stars
Walk around in fancy clothes
And drive them flashy cars

The rich girls get the jewelery
The rich boys get the girls
Playin' "Mr. Romeo"
They think they own the world

Breakdown you can lose control
They don't think nothin' of you
Not unless you're a rich kid too

Rich kid - I wanna be a rich kid too
Rich kid - I wanna be a rich like you

I ain't got no money - and I ain't got a home
I hang around the parking lot when all the cars are gone
I don't read the papers - the news is all the same
Tell you it's a rich man's world -
And you play the rich man's game

Come 'round to the judgement day there won't be nothin' for you
Not unless you're a rich kid too
You're a rich kid too

Rich kid - I wanna be a rich kid too
Rich kid - I wanna be a rich like you

Don't care what price I pay
I ain't got nothin' to lose
I wanna be rich like you
I won't be shot down when I get my way
I won't be comin' to you
Cause I'll be a rich kid too

Rich kid - I wanna be a rich kid too
Rich kid - I wanna be a rich like you...

I been thinkin' a lot about you lately
Sitting here wasting my time
You know that my dreams don't come easy
I lost them before it's no lie

It isn't so hard when you know me
To see where my thoughts go astray
My feelings for you they control me
I'm lost in your world night and day

And I want you to feel that way too
Love me like I'm lovin' you
Pick me up when I'm blue
Know in your heart that it's true

I been seein' a lot of you lately
Not as much as I want to sometimes
We both have our lives to be leading
And I can't always be by your side

If you see insecurity showing
Don't turn me out in the rain
I have nowhere else to be going
And it's here that I want to remain

And I want you to feel that way too
Love me like I'm lovin' you
Pick me up when I'm blue
Know in your heart that it's true

Have I told you, how I want you
Now I told you, and I want you today

And I want you to feel that way too
Love me like I'm lovin' you
Pick me up when I'm bluer than blue
Love me like I'm lovin' you

It's a wrong side of town kinda love
We let ourselves get into
People try to change this world
Around me and you

We gotta try, try a bit harder
If what they say is true
And who knows what a love can do

Who knows what a love can do
Who knows what a love can do

Now we're left standing here all alone
Outside lookin' in
And I can tell from the things I see it's no way to begin
But I don't care what the people say as long as I got you
'Cause who knows what a love can do

Who knows what a love can do
Who knows what a love can do

Don't care if they knock on me
Ain't no way I can give
The kinda things they want from me
Ain't the way I want to live

We gotta try, try a bit harder
You know we might make it through
And who knows what a love can do

Who knows what a love can do
Who knows what a love can do

Some say love is borrowed time
A lonely loan only lovers find
It's got you down, you're on the line
I can read you like a book
Say I can read your mind

You been holdin' back the hands of time
Heaven sakes, you know you should be flyin'

You should be high love, you should be my love
You should be high love, you should be my love

You've been left to your own devices
Hand out, tongue out, compromises
You're the first to go but the last in line
And if you lose your love, you can lose your mind

You been runnin' outta borrowed time
Heaven sakes, you know you should be flyin'

You should be high love, you should be my love
You should be high love, you should be my love
If shadows should find you, put 'em behind you
You should be high love, you should be my love
You should be high love, you should be my love

It's all behind you, let the spirit find you
And the love light blind you

You should be high love, you should be my love
You should be high love, you should be my love
If shadows should find you, put 'em behind you
You should be high love, you should be my love
You should be high love, you should be my love

Another day with nothin' to do
Spend my time lookin' for you
Who's your boyfriend
Who's your boyfriend now
I asked around but nobody knows
Where you've gone in all your fine clothes
Who's your boyfriend
Who's your boyfriend now

Not since the day you first caught my eye
Has anything moved me, my heart's on the fly, uh huh
And I got a feelin'

Spend my time out on the street
I'm so tired I can't feel my feet
Who's your boyfriend
Who's your boyfriend now

People say I'm tryin' too hard
But if I knew the way, I'd be in your backyard
Who's your boyfriend
Who's your boyfriend now

Don't say I'm crazy, I already know
I picked up the pieces, I got nothin' to show
And I got a feelin'

I never could see
Why women could do these things to me

Another day I'm out on my own
I don't know if I'm comin' or goin'
Who's your boyfriend
Who's your boyfriend now
You got style, I just can't ignore
But if I had a key I'd be in your front door
Who's your boyfriend
Who's your boyfriend now

How does it happen, you're so hard to find
I can't seem to reach you, I'm losin' my mind
And I got a feelin'
Who's your boyfriend now
Who's your boyfriend

Now I know - that life can be unkind
I know - that love is hard to find
When I'm breakin' down inside I know
Oh I know, I know that if I don't despair
I know - that there's a world out there
Somethin' tells me down inside - I know - oh I know

That the music's all right
Say the music's all right
The music's all right wherever I go

Now I know that friends can let you down
I know - we all been passed around
When I need a place to hide - I know
Yes I know

That the music's all right
Say the music's all right
The music's all right wherever I go
Say the music's all right
Say the music's all right
The music's all right wherever I go

Now I know that when my hope is gone
I know - that I can carry on
I go searchin' down inside - I know
Oh I know, I know, I know

That the music's all right
Say the music's all right
The music's all right wherever I go - oh I know, I know, I know
Say the music's all right
Say the music's all right
The music's all right wherever I go

I could love you where you lie whatcha want me to do
You don't even have to try always somebody new
Never sure what your talkin' about
Never wantin' to be left out

Cause you're a live wire but you've lots to learn
Live wire your fuse will burn

Young girls you talk so loud
Move fast now you act so proud
Young girls ya talk so bold
You wont find much when you get old

Livin' in the past is so easy to do
Ah but nothin' seems to last you can never be true
Now you talk of all those places you've been
All along you been makin' the scene

Cause you're a live wire but you don't understand
I ain't your ticket to to the promised land

Young girls you talk so loud
Move fast now you act so proud
Young girls you talk so bold
You won't find much when you get old

Every woman in her time's known a young girl like you
Though she may be hard to find there's a woman in you
Come and see me when you've grown a few years
Come the time you'll be changin' your gears

Cause your a live wire but you don't understand
I ain't your ticket to a one night stand

Now everybody - have you heard
If you're in the game, then the stroke's the word
Don't take no rhythm - don't take no style
Got a thirst for killing - grab your vile...

You put your right hand out...give a firm hand-shake
Talk to me about the one big break..
Spread the ear pollution both far and wide...
Keep your contributions by your side and stroke me, stroke me...

Could be a winner boy, you move quite well...
You got your number down...
Say you're a winner boy - man you're just a sinner now

You put your left foot out - keep it all in place
Work your way right into my case
First you try to bed me - you make my backbone slide...
But when you find you bled me - skip on by...
Keep on - stroke me, stroke me -

Give me the business all night long...
You're so together boy...
Say you're a winner but man you're just a sinner now

Better listen now...(said) it ain't no joke
Let your conscience fail ya...just do the stroke
Don'tcha take no chances...keep your eye on top
Do your fancy dances...you can't stop, you just stroke

My Kinda Lover


You got me runnin' baby
You give me somethin' way beyond revenue
You put the magic in me
I feel the magic when we do what we do
And oh...
I can't do without you for too long...you're my situation
You're my kinda lover... my kinda lover...

You keep me all together
You take me out whenever I'm lettin' down
You got the motions baby
I got a notion maybe I'll stick around
And oh...
I can never doubt you for too long...I can't see no reason
You're my kinda lover...

When you come 'round I never get down---
I fly across the floor
I can see you comin' on me...and I can't ask for more
Rock me, sock me, baby you got me ridin' to the end
Rake me, shake me, baby you make me--turn me on again

You got my motor racin'
I find my thoughts embracin' your every move
I wanna set you reelin'
I wanna make you feel the way that I do
And oh...
I been thinkin' 'bout you for so long
I don't wanna lose ya--you're my kinda lover...
My kinda lover.......

Somewhere in the distance---somewhere down the line
A trace of an illusion is etched upon my mind
A fool's infatuation poundin' in my brain
I fell into your face before I ever knew your name
You're no stranger--you know what I like...


You got me in a cross fire, drivin' in my car
You come on like a daydream, you move just like a star
Your lips are my persuasion, your love will be my cure
The path of least resistance is all I can endure
You're no stranger--you know what I like...


Miles of conversation...it's all between the lines
You're in the "A" rotation, you're with me all the time
Our love will go the distance--however near and far
In all of my confusion, I know just who you are
You're no stranger--you know what I like...

Too Daze Gone


Walkin' through the streets just the other day
Caught up in the traffic--I can never get away
Runnin' here, runnin' there
No satisfaction anywhere
I do my work--ain't enough anymore
It takes the mornin' after to forget the night before


Too daze gone...too daze gone
I'm broke down, insufferable--my mind is on the blink
It's later than you think and I'm too daze gone


Went to see a friend just the other day
Had a drink or two and we blew the night away
Takin' in another show...how we live I'll never know
I can't remember the things that we said
Now all I got is this achin' in my head


Too daze gone...too daze gone
I'm broke down, insufferable--my mind is on the blink
It's later than you think and I'm too daze gone


Gone through the games that you want me to play
Gone past the rules that you put in my way
Racin' past your limit--ain't no right and wrong
Past the point of carin'--too daze gone


Couldn't raise my head just to save the day
I do my penance--try to keep the world at bay
Outa sight, outa mind...ills you don't expect to find
I learned my lesson a thousand times too
Don't make no impression--one thing I can do


Too daze gone...

Lonely Is The Night


Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone
Your demons come to light and your mind is not your own
Lonely is the night when there's no one left to call
You feel the time is right--(say) the writin's on the wall

It's a high time to fight when the walls are closin' in
Call it what you like--It's time you got to win
Lonely, lonely, lonely--your spirit's sinkin' down
You find you're not the only stranger in this town

Red lights, green lights, stop 'n go jive
Headlines, deadlines jammin' your mind
You been stealin' shots from the side
Let your feelin's go for a ride

There's danger out tonight..the man is on the prowl
Get the dynamite...the boys are set to howl
Lonely is the night when you hear the voices call
Are you ready for a fight--do you wanna take it all

Slowdown, showdown--waitin' on line
Showtime, no time for changin' your mind
Streets are ringin', march to the sound
Let your secrets follow you down

Somebody's watchin' you baby--so much you can do
Nobody's stoppin' you baby, from makin' it too
One glimpse'll show you now baby, what the music can do
One kiss'll show you now baby--it can happen to you

No more sleepin', wastin' our time
Midnight creepin's first on our minds
No more lazin' 'round the tv
You'll go crazy--come out with me

Whadda You Want From Me


Down in the dungeon I'm having a hard time
I get my love on condition and my Dewar's without lime
Up in the tower you're countin' the fault lines
(I say) I am who I am---whadda you want from me

Long distance warfare from over the phone lines
Terminal airfare--I'm crossin' the red line
Can't tell the diff'rence 'tween a "wait" and a "walk" sign
But you know who I am---whadda you want from me
(nah yeah)
..

You preach forgiveness but once in a dog's day
Naw but nobody listens to everything you say
You want the business, ya have it your own way
But you know who I am---whadda you want from me

Now I can't see no maybe, I can't see it at all
I seen through you baby,
You wanna have it all...you take me tothe wall
(ow!)

Whadda you want from me...

(I said)you know who I am---whadda you want
I done what I can---take what you want
I am who I am---whadda you want from me.................

Nobody Knows


I may get around...I may laugh alot...
Now you'd think that I'd be happy with the life I got
Nobody knows...nobody sees
Ain't nobody really knows the inner side o'me...

I may seem secure...I could have it made...
You might think you see a lucky man who made the grade
Nobody knows what dreams I see
Ain't nobody really sure just who they wanna be...

But everybody has a place and time...
A chance to live...a need to find
We all got somethin' that we care about
I propose you find it out...

It's not in a book...or a magazine...
Or the stars who guide our fortunes on the silver screen
Nobody knows...it's up to me
Ain't nobody who can say it like it outght to be...
..

I see my future at the rainbow's end
Happy hours...timeless friends
And if I ever chance to find my way
Rest assured...I will stay...

You may see your life as a compromise
You may live to find the promise dancin' in your eyes
Nobody knows...it's meant to be...
Let the magic of the moment say it all to me..


(Dedicated to the life of John Lennon)

I Need You


I rise at the break of day--your smile sets me on my way
I need you
See the light shinin' in your eyes--see the hopes that Irealize
For you
I am alone...my odds are long...s'all I can do...
I need you...need you...

Take the road where the eagle flies--man follows where hisfortune lies
I leave you
Shadows fall and the day is done--the curtain calls but more than anyone
I need you
When I feel low...my amps they blow...when I feel blue
I need you...need you...

And I forget all my sorrow, I forget all my pain
I relinquish my doubts at the sound of your name
I can feel your desire when I walk through that door
I believe in the power that can even the score

Never knew it could take so long--never knew it could feel sowrong without you
They say a woman knows the reasons why--no man ain't supposed tocry
I need you
When after all...my tears they fall...when I pull through...
I need you...need you...
I need you...need you... ...

We live in confusion times---my world is a vice
Nobody gets out alive...but you can break through the ice
Don't say no

My wounds are the open kind---I bleed every day
I pray for a change of mind...you could take me away
Don't say no

Take on the system, playin' on the wrong side
Spend all my money tryin' to have a good time
Come 'round to see you from time to time
Week in the knees and I'm busted

Some people they treat me kind...some drive me away
Some people they blow your mind...it's not easy today
Don't say no

I live on the borderline...you come from the void
I beg you to cross the line...you take good care of your boy
Don't say no

Got me a ticket sittin' on a gold mine
Send me the int'rest, take me where the sun shines
Come 'round to see me from time to time
Bring it to me when I'm busted

One minute I'm outa time...I don't fit in your game
You kill me in overtime...I don't remember my name
One minute you're on my mind...next minute you're gone
You tell me to read the signs...they tell me we're on
Don't say no...
