REO Speedwagon - You Can Tune A Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish/Hi Infidelity/You Get What You Play For (3 Pak) [compilation] (2001) by REO Speedwagon (보컬) on maniadb.com

As soon as you are able
Woman I am willing
To make the break that we
Are on the brink of
My cup is on the table
Our love is spilling
Waiting here for you to
Take and drink of
So if you're tired of the
Same old story
Turn some pages
I'll be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes

I knew it had to happen
Felt the tables turnin'
Got me through my darkest hour
I heard the thunder clappin'
Felt the desert burnin'
Until you poured on me
Like a sweet sunshower

So if you're tired of the
Same old story
Turn some pages
I'll be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes

Roll with the changes

Ive been around for you
Ive been up and down for you
But I just cant get any relief
Ive swallowed my pride for you
Ive lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief

You got me stealin your love away
cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we cant relive it
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe its time for me to fly

You said wed work it out
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but Im tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that Ive had enough

Ive had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe its time for me to fly

{refrain} time for me to fly
Oh, Ive got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And thats just how its got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But its time for me to fly

Oh, dont you know its...
{refrain}

Its time for me to fly
{repeat to end}

First you say one thing then you say another.
I don't know the difference, were you lyin' to me baby?
But it seems to me you got yourself in a bind.

Always on the road playin' your guitar.
Leaving me at home for cryin' out loud.
Wish you could see babe that you're runnin' blind, yeah!

Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'

Well it's time for you to play all that you can say
Is "Get out of my way. Don't be in the way"
Always hear you screamin'
I know you're just dreamin' of leavin' it all behind.

Hands keep goin' up and down
Eyes are turnin' around and around
Your goin' crazy and nobody minds

Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'

Oooooo! You can't go on runnin' blind!

Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'

Sooner or later you will find a way
To feel like sunshine even on a cloudy day
To feel like morning in the dead of night
Sooner or later it's gonna be all right.

Now don't go thinking your life's a mess
Rather start thinkin' in terms of happiness

And it's gonna happen
Just decide were you're goin'
Get out in the open
And start blazin' your own trail again

It takes time sometimes to figure out
That there's nothing to worry about
And that there's plenty to be thankful for
It takes time sometimes to know the score

See everybody's got a smile inside
So put it upon your face and wear it with pride

And it's gonna happen
Just decide were you're goin'
Get out in the open
And start blazin' your own trail again

Sundown, summer is fading.
Run now, here the winter comes.
Deep down, in some snowdrift.
Frozen fire, thought you found the lift.

It's a showdown, it's a Mexican standoff.
And the river, is the prize.
To float away on her current,
To the sea lover, to the sea.

And I know there's a song in the wind to the sky.
And I know there's a song somewhere for you and I.
What I don't know is if we'll hear it.
I'm losin' spirit, woman sing to me.

Lucky I call you 'cus that's the way you make me feel.
Love in the air and the wind in my hair is makin' me real.
Look out Lucky there's a mountain in front of you.
And with a little luck we'll see it thru.
What's lucky for me is lucky for you.

I used to think that luck was just another four letter word.
But now that I found you it's the finest one I've ever heard.
Do you see the stars now do you Lucky?
They're not all that far, now are they Lucky?
What's lucky for you, is lucky for me,
And what's lucky for me, is lucky for you.

Do you know where your woman is tonight?
Do you know if she's sleepin' alone tonight?
Well, you might be right and you might be wrong
when you say you trust her alone
But this rock 'n roll road has led you far into the night
Do you know where your woman is tonight?
So you think you know where your woman spends her time
And you think you know her every rhythm and rhyme
Well, I thought so too, baby, long a ago
But now I know how a blind man sees
'Cause this rock 'n roll road has led you far into the night
Do you know where your woman is tonight?

Here I come again
I don't really care to turn back
Trying to find you directions
But I seem to be losin' track

I believe we ought to make a run for it
Just to see how far we can go
I ain't just around for the fun of it
But until you try it, baby, you'll never know so

Say you love me or say goodnight
Say we've made up or on with the fight
Cause there's no love lying' in the eyes of the night so,
Say you love me or say goodnight

There's no use hangin' on a memory
No good livin' a lie
I got no use for mediocrity
You know tonight's the night
We either do it or die

So you figure that you've got him all figured out
He's a sweet talkin stud
Who can melt a girl's heart with his pout
He's the kind of lover that the ladies dream about


He's got plenty of cash
He's got plenty of friends
He drives women wild
Then he drives off in a mercedes-benz
He's got a long wick with a flame at both ends
He's hot


But don't let him go
Just give him a chance to grow
Take it easy, take it slow
And don't let him go


He makes you so angry
He makes you so sore
The wait may be worth it
But how can you wait anymore
When you're wonderin what you're waitin' for
Baby I don't know


But don't let him go
He just needs a chance to grow
Take it easy, take it slow
And don't let him go
Don't let him go

You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin

And though i know all about those men
Still i don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
And i meant, every word i said
When i said that i love you i meant
That i love you forever

And i'm gonna keep on lovin you
Cause it's the only thing i wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin you

(solo)

And i meant every word i said
When i said that i love you i meant
That i love you forever

(chorus)

I saw you at midnight, in a dream that I had.
From nowhere, you stood there, and you seemed so sad.
And a vicious decision is drivin' me mad.
Should I follow my head, or follow my heart?
You were different, indifferent, unbelievably cool.
I approached you, to show you, that I'm nobody's fool.
And an error, caused terror, as I sensed your dare.
Should I follow my head, or follow my heart?
Should I follow my head, or follow my heart?
You've got the lead, baby I've got a start.
Should I follow my head?
Should I follow my heart?
Should I follow my head, or my heart?

In your letter ooh in your letter
In your letter ooh in your letter
In your letter ooh in your letter
In your letter ooh in your letter
In your letter you said you
didn't love me
You said you're gonna leave me
But you could've said it better
Oh in your letter
you said you couldn't face me
You said you could replace me
But you could've said it better
You could've left him only
For an evening let him be lonely
But you hid behind
your poison pen and his pride
You could've told him something
And proved to me you
don't love him
But you hid behind your
future full of lies
Instrumental

You could've left him only
For an evening let him be lonely
But you hid behind your
poison pen and his pride
You could've told him something
And proved to me
you don't love him
But you hid behind your future
full of liesIn your
letter you said you
didn't love me
You said you're gonna leave me
But you could've said it better
Oh in your letter
you said you couldn't face me
You said you could replace me
But you could've said it better
in your letter
Oh in your letter
in your letter
Oh in your letter
in your letter
Oh in your letter
in your letter
Oh in your letter
in your letter
Oh in your letter
in your letter
Oh in your letter
in your letter
Oh in your letter
in your letter
Oh in your letter
in your letter
Oh in your letter

Heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around
They say you got a boyfriend, you're out late every weekend
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down

But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I'm telling you, babe, that I don't think it's true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind

You take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it, not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run

You're thinking up your white lies
You're puttin' on your bedroom eyes
You say you're coming home but you won't say when
But I can feel it coming if you leave tonight keep running
And you need never look back again

You take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it, not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run

You take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run

Take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it, not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run

Heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around

She doesn't like the tough guys.
They think that they can do anything they please.
But they're gonna get a surprise,
When she brings them to their knees.

'Cus she doesn't like the rough guys.
They act like they can have any girl they choose.
They've got tricks, but my baby got wise,
So in case you haven't heard the news,

She doesn't like the tough guys.
She doesn't like the rough guys.
So find some one you own size,
'Cus she's not afraid of you.

She doesn't like the tough guys.
She thinks that they've got brains all where they sit.
They think they're full of fire,
She thinks they're full of shit.

She doesn't like the tough guys.
She says she's heard enough lies.
She's gonna call your bluff, guys.
And you better believe it's true.

She don't like you.

I found out just a little too late.
I had my doubt, but I decided to wait.
Even though I could feel somethin' comin'
It came as such a surprise.
I should have known when you first started
runnin' away before my eyes.




I'm so out of season
You left me cold and I'm standin' here freezin'.
I'm so out of season now.
I lost out.
I wasn't playing to win.
And I think about
How I just took it all in.

Just when I thought
I couldn't get any higher
You cut me down to size.
I should have noticed
When you put out the fire.
Instead, I just closed my eyes.

I'm so out of season.
You left me cold and I'm standin' here freezin'.
I'm so out of season now.

I'm so out of season
You let me go and you gave me no reason.
I'm so out of season now.

She looked at me with fire in her eyes
Looks can't kill but she certainly tries
and try as she might
I'm gonna be alright
Shakin'it loose tonight


She said "Honey, forget me quick
Another fool another Hollywood trick
Movin'on a red light
But I'm gonna be alright
Shakin'it loose tonight


I got to go there's someone on the phone
Knock on my door but there's nobody home
I turned out the light
But I'm gonna be alright
Shakin it loose tonight

Shake,shake,shakin'it loose tonight
Shake,shake,shakin'it loose tonight
I'm gonna make it
Shakin it loose tonight

You've got it. I want it.
Surrender. Don't run away.
Some say I'm cold-blooded.
I'd say I'm just not that way.


I need someone tonight.
Someone to hold on to me tight.
I need someone tonight.


If I could convince you,
If you would just say all right.
I'd treat you so tender.
Then leave you and never write.

I need someone tonight.
Someone to hold on to me tight.
I need someone tonight.

I know a place where you can go.
When you're flyin' high or layin' low.
And I've got the time.
I've got plenty to spare.
I've got the time, and I've got the place,
I just wish you were there.

I've the will to have you around.
Whether you're up, whether you're down.
And I know the way
To make you shine.
I've got the will, and I've got the way,
I just wish you were mine.

Well I've seen women who cross their legs
Before they sit down to the table
And I've seen women who look to the sky
Screamin Lord I believe in the Bible
And I've seen hookers dancin through Times Square
With their heads held up so high
But I've never seen a woman
Who makes me feel
Woah, like you do

Well I've seen couples holdin hands
With that glazy look in their eyes
And I've seen lovers rollin round in bed
Screamin as if they're gonna die
And I've seen lovers holdin hands
And then laughin when their back is turned
But I've never seen a woman
Who makes me feel
Woah, like you do

(solo)

Well I've seen women who cross their legs
Before they sit down to the table
And I've seen women who look to the sky
Screamin Lord I Believe in the Bible
And I've seen hookers dancin through Times Square
With their heads held up so high
But I've never seen a woman
Who makes me feel
No I've never seen a woman
Who can make me feel
Like you do

I've played your game
And I've played it well.
I'll be another fool
To hang upon your wall.
I laid my heart out
Like an open book.
It's a simple thing and don't take much
To crack it open and bleed.

Lay me down.
Lay me down when you're through with me.
Lay me down.
Let me bleed when you're through with me.
Don't let me think you're wrong,
Just let me fall down.
I'll pick myself up again.
It's the kindest thing you can do for me,
So, woman, won't you lay me down.

I lied to myself.
Tried to believe in you.
But it's hard to rely on the ghost of someone you hardly even knew
You bring things out
Just to bring me down.
Then you twist them about and shove 'em in my face
Til my eyes can't see any good.
Yeah!

Please don't worry now about the mornin'
When it's time we'll sip our wine and sleep
Woah, but I've been known
To love more than one person
Woah, and I've been shown
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes
Listen to my words now look no further
What you've seen is what I mean no more
Woah, but I've been known
To love more than one person
Woah, and I've been shown
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes

Don't dream of answers cause you know I've none to give
They burn like cancers they just won't let you live

I've been known
To love more than one person
And I've been shown
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes

Don't dream of answers cause you know I've none to give
We move like dancers steppin on each other to live
And pouncin hard
Like animals in the yard
And there's no healin, lookin, feelin
There's no denyin that bein kind can hurt
Someone sometimes
Oh, there's no denyin, woah Lord there's no denyin
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes

I used to be lonely till I learned about livin alone
I found other things to keep my mind on
And I'm gettin to know myself a little bit better
Whoa , I keep pushin on
Keep pushin on, yeah

Goin through all the changes I made so many mistakes, oh yes I did
Tryin to leave behind the heartaches
And sometimes I think I was a little bit crazy, oh yeah
Whoa, I keep pushin on

Keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin on
Keep pushin, keep pushin, you know you have got to be so strong
Keep pushin, keep pushin, well even if you think your strength is gone
Keep pushin on

(solo)

Well it's comin together I finally feel like a man, oh yes I do
I never thought that I'd be where I am, oh
Everyday I wake a little bit higher
Whoa I keep pushin on, oh yeah
(repeat chorus)

Now there's nothing left to do
but to lay my head down for sleeping
I'm weak with exhaustion and the lover's blues
and I still can't forget those weeks I had with you

But I guess it was only a summer love
Nothing too serious and nothing to last
I feel like a fool to be longing for that lyin' summer love

Once we both loved just a bit too hard
for deep down we both knew it was dyin'
And we both talked just a little about forever
but we both knew we were doing some lyin'.

Now the snow falls, freezing my hurt for you
but some nights I feel it's still there.
I've come back now to the life I've known before you
but I doesn't have the same old meaning.

Hometown lady, leavin' for the city
Bags in hand, she's boardin' the train
Her last look through the window, I saw her eyes were as red as mine
I waved goodbye but I can't believe she's leaving.

But a woman can't be high-class
In a lonely farmer's town
And the son of a poor man
Ain't gonna turn your head around
But if you ever get lonely
Just pick up the telephone
And the son of a poor man will bring you home.

Maybe soon I'll see her on some television show
Painted lips and fingers singing for the world
A fashion plate for sure dancin' for your plastic world
Call me up if you can but if not well I'll understand

But a woman can't be high-class
In a lonely farmer's town
And the son of a poor man
Ain't gonna turn your head around
But if you ever get lonely
Just pick up the telephone
And the son of a poor man will bring you home.

You touched me. You took me away.
You left me confused when you said you couldn't stay.
But now I know what you were trying to say.
I can understand that I'm not the only one.
But I believe our time is gonna come.

I dream of you through every night,
But you're not risin' with me, so I don't wanna see the light.
Even if you can't come over, and I hoping that you might
'Cause when you're not here nothing's any fun.
But I believe our time is gonna come.

I believe our time is gonna come
I believe our time is gonna come
I believe our time is gonna
I believe our time is gonna come

We flew into town on Sunday, had to find a place by Monday
Tried Bridgeport and Westport, 'til we found a place that we thought would do
157 Riverside Avenue.
Saugatuck River's flowin', Mother nature's colors were showin'
So cold, so rainy, we couldn't help feelin' blue
Not enough time, too many things to do.

We met a young girl on Main street, wanted to just pass her by
She was homely, so lonely, She said, "Can I make love to you."
We shouted 157 Riverside Avenue.

It's over, Miss Lena, we're leaving. Such a pleasant stay, I must say.
So nice, so easy, we hate to say goodbye to you
At 157 Riverside Avenue.

Ridin' the storm out, waitin' for the thaw out
On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter.
My wine bottle's low, watching for the snow
I've been thinking lately of what I'm missing in the city.
And I'm not missing a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossing the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out.


My lady's beside me, she's there to guide me.
She says that alone we've finally found home.
The wind outside is frightening,
but it's kinder than the lightning life in the city.
It's a hard life to live but it gives back what you give.

Recently I've been thinkin about what I am and where my priorities lie
Gettin it together on some future plan, decidin what I need to get by
I tried workin and schoolin but there just not my plan, oh no
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man
Well I could be pickin bluegrass or singin the blues, it doesn't really matter to me
As long as I'm playin the music I just can't lose, and noones gonna tell me differently
Cause all I really care about is sittin right here in my hands, oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man

Well my momma sits and worries about me for days
Even though she really likes the way the boy plays
My daddy tells her I'm just goin through a phase
But that's just what he always says
I hear what they're sayin but I take it with a grain of sand, oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man
(repeat) yeah

(solo)

But that's just what he always says
I hear what they're sayin but I take it with a grain of sand, oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man

Well I've told you my story now here's what I've found
To be happy you need only be real
So don't let anyone try to turn your head around
Just remember you are what you feel
You see all of my life people been tryin to tell me what I am, oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man, oh yeah
(repeat)

Golden country your face is so red
With all of your money your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
Never really carin' just what comes after
Well your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand

Mortgage people you crawl to your homes
Your security lies in your bed of white foam
You act concerned but then why turn away
When a lady was raped on your doorstep today
Well your blacks are cryin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are dyin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand, oh yeah......
