Bryan Adams

There was this girl I used to see - down on 42nd street
She'd walk by on her way to work - n' make the air smell so sweet
I used to sit in a coffee shop - sometimes I'd have a cup
And when she'd go by - she'd light up the sky
Like the sun coming up
She be standin' by the bus stop - driver opened up the door
I'd just sit n' watch her - getting on the 104
I wanna give her my number - I wanna tell her my name
Wanna climb on board that cross-town bus
Take a chance she feels the same
It's just another east side story
Everybody's got a tale to tell
And like a hundred guys before me
I fell under her spell
Some things you hold on to - some you just let go
Seems like the ones that you can't have
Are the ones that you want most
I think about her sometimes - I wonder if she was real
And if I ever find her I'm gonna tell her how I feel
It's just another east side story
Everybody's got a tale to tell and like a hundred guys before me
I fell under her spell
It's still the same old story - it's still the same old game
Up there on the eastside - life goes on the same
She never knew my number - never even knew my name
She climbed on board that cross-town bus I never saw her again

ridin' in the back seat
nine years old
Starin' out the window
countin' the highway poles
And then I get to thinkin'
that it don't seem real
I'm flyin' through the universe in a
69 oldsmobile
And I wanna know what
they're not tellin'
And I don't wanna hear no lies
I just want something to believe in
Ah it's a lonely
lonely road I'm on
This side of paradise

ridin' in the back seat
black limousine
Starin' out the window
at a funeral scene
And then I get to thinkin'
and it don't seem right
I'm sittin' here safe and sound
and someone I love is gone tonight
I wanna know what they're not tellin'
I don't wanna hear no lies
I just want something to believe in
Ah it's a lonely
lonely road we're on
This side of paradise
There ain't no crystal ball
there ain't no santa claus
There ain't no fairy tales
There ain't no streets of gold
There ain't no chosen few
ya it's just me and you
that's all we got ya
that's all we got to hold on to
Ya this side of paradise

I remember bein' a little boy
in the backseat
nine years old
Always askin' questions
never did what I was told
then I get to thinkin'
like I always do
We wander 'round in the darkness
but every now and then
A little light shines through
I want to know what
they're not telling
I don't wanna hear no lies
I just want something to believe in
Ah it's a lonely
lonely road we're on
This side of paradise

This side of paradise

This is story about a boy and girl
Trying find a life in the big world
Somehow they're together
There ain't much to the mystery
Misery loves company
She just waves her hand
and says whatever
Well this ain't love this ain't love
this ain't love at all
And he says
We're not Romeo we're not Juliet
How long does it take
to fill this emptyness
We're just two lost souls
and baby we got no regrets
don't wanna say bye bye
Babe it's just you and I
We're not Romeo we're not Juliet
He ain't pretty with
his hard old heart
Second generation immigrant scars
And he knows that this ain't
heaven no
She's all skinny like a cigarette
And he's the only thing
the only thing that she respects
And he's trying to make it better
This ain't love this ain't love
this ain't love at all
And she says
We're not Romeo we're not Juliet
You'd thought you'd seen it all
but you ain't seen nothin' yet
We're just two lost souls
and baby we got no regrets
Now it's just you and I
We're nothin' unless we try
We're not Romeo not Juliet
It has feel right but it never does
It has to be perfect but it never is
You wanna be sure but you never do
We're not Romeo or Juliet
it's just me and you

We're just two lost souls
and baby we got no regrets
don't wanna say bye bye
Babe it's just you and I
We're not Romeo not Juliet
We're not Romeo we're not Juliet
How long does it take
to fill this emptyness
We're just two lost souls
and baby we got no regrets
Ya it's just you and I
We're nothin' unless we try oh no
We're not Romeo not Juliet
No we're not that's a fact

If you ever feel like you're gonna fall - oh I'll be there
And if you ever feel down or feel small - oh don't despair
And if you ever feel lost or feel alone - babe c'mon home

Let's just make love - all night
Let's just hold on - so tight
Let's make it last - for life
I won't let you go

Yeah we're flying - feels just like flying
We're such a long way up - from the ground
Just you and me flying - so high 'n I'm never gonna come down

Every time you turn around and wanna run - oh come to me
When every little dream comes undone - oh don't worry

Let's just make love - all night
Let's just hold on - so tight
Let's make it last - for life
I won't let you go

Yeah we're flying - feels just like flying
We're such a long way up - from the ground
Just you and me flying - so high 'n I'm never gonna come down

Ooooh, Let's just make love - all night
Let's just hold on - so tight
Let's make it last - for life
I won't let you go

Yeah we're flying - feels just like flying
We're such a long way up - from the ground
Ya we're flying (ya we're flying)- feels just like flying (feels just like flying)
We're such a long way up - from the ground
Yeah we're flying so high and,
We're never gonna come down:you and me

She got the brains, she got the looks
She knows all the right people, reads all the right books
She's got my name, she's got my number
But what she see's in me I sometimes wonder
She's a little too good for me
She's gonna change me if I let her
She's a little too good for me
But I'm getting better
I'm just a guy, I'm just me
I'm happy with my feet up on the table, in front of my TV
We're world's apart, we're night and day
She's dinner by candle light, I'm just a take-a-way
She's a little too good for me
She's gonna change me if I let her
She's a little too good for me
But I'm getting better
She's says I do something to her
All her friends say I'm a loser

I'm sitting at the wheel
I got a green light
not afraid of nothin'
cuz heart and soul..I'm built for life
So let the engine roar
Push the pedal down
//
난 운전석에 앉아 있어요.
내 앞엔 초록색 신호등이 켜 있죠.
아무것도 두렵지 않아요.
마음과 영혼... 난 삶을 위해 존재하죠.
자, 엔진을 켜고
전속력으로 달려요.

I want the white lines on the highway
To lead me out of town
I'm rolling on and on and on
Who knows where I'm goin'?
//
난 하연 고속도로 위를 달리고 싶어요.
도시 밖으로 이끄는 고속도로 위를...
난 계속 달리고 또 달리죠.
내가 얼디로 가는지 그 누가 알리요?

Life is an open road
It's the best story never told
It's an endless sky
It's the deepest sea
Life is an open road to me
Life is an open road to me
//
인생은 열린 도로예요.
한번도 알려지지 않은 멋진 이야기죠.
그건 끝없는 하늘이에요.
가자 깊은 바다이고요.
내게 인생은 열린 도로예요.
내게 인생은 열린 도로예요.

I got headlights
To guide me thru the night
I got the window down and the radio playing
It makes me feel alive
//
내게 불빛이 있어요.
어두운 밤 동안 날 안내해 줄
창문을 내리고 라디로을 켜요.
그게 내가 살아있다는 걸 느끼게 해 주죠

When a hotel room's the closest thing you got to home
You could be in Philadelphia you could even be in Rome
You gotta dial nine to get an outside line
I even need a concierge just to take a drive - it's a crazy life
I hope to see you smile - but I'm always wrong
It's a different melody but the same old song...
Ya I've been on the road nearly all my life
Been around the world 'bout a thousand times
Still a knock on the door makes me nervous
I think I'll see you standing there - but no
It's only room service - ya room service
I've been living out my suitcase as long as I remember
Life's the same - it doesn't change - it's a gibson or a fender
I still think about you babe - I swear sometimes I see your face
These are crazy days
Ya I think I hear your voice - but it's just a dream
It's a brand new movie but the same old scene
Ya I've been on the road nearly all my life
Been around the world 'bout a thousand times
Still a knock on the door makes me nervous
I think I'll see you standing there - but no
It's only room service - ya room service
Ya know I wouldn't change a thing - no
I'm just waiting for the bell in my room to ring
I hope to see you smile - but I'm always wrong
It's a different melody but the same old song...

She left her shoes out on the beach
She left my dreams just out of reach
She left her footprints in the sand
She was a bird right in the hand
I met a girl that made me laugh
She left a faded photograph
I thought I heard a siren song
I sang along but I was...

I was only dreamin'
I was only dreamin'
Visions in my head
Talkin in my sleep
Turning in my bed
But I was only dreamin'

I met a girl that talked in rhyme
I met a girl who took her time
I saw the ocean in her eyes
I saw myself unrecognized
And all the stars up in the sky
Fell down like rain and made me cry
I held the world right in my hands
I held her close but I was...

I was only dreamin' (I was only dreamin')
I was only dreamin'
Visions in my head
Talkin in my sleep
Turning in my bed
Life was so complete
But I was only dreamin'

I was only dreamin'
oh yea

I was only dreamin'
I was only dreamin'
Visions in my head
Talkin in my sleep
Turning in my bed
Life was so complete
her shoes were on the beach
But I was only dreamin'

You don't know what you got - until you lose it
And I can testify that that's the truth
I had it all and didn't know how to use it
I was so stupid - it was right before my eyes
I've been looking all my life
Waiting for the perfect time
Never knew that I would find it
Right back where I started from
Why'd I have to go so far
When everything was where you are
How'd I know that you be waiting
Right back where I started from
Who can tell ya where the rivers flowin'
Just ride the wave - let it take ya down
All the twists and turns I navigated
It's so frustratin' you were there all the time
I've been looking all my life
Waiting for the perfect time
Never knew that I would find it
Right back where I started from
Why'd I have to go so far
When everything was where you are
How'd I know that you be waiting
Right back where I started from...oh where I started from
I know where I'm headed to - it's right back where I've been

We hardly have the time to say
What matters most of all

Ya you've always been the only one
The only one to make me run
Anytime you call

Let's not talk about the future
Let's not talk about the days gone past
All this time - we've been runnin' round in circles

I can feel a change a comin'
And I know we're gonna make it last
From now on - we'll be goin' somewhere slowly
Instead of going nowhere fast

When everything has come and gone
We'll look back on this road we're on
And see how far we've come (ya we've come a long way)

Let's not talk about the future
Let's not talk about the days gone past
All this time - we've been runnin' round in circles

But I can feel a change a comin'
And I know we're gonna make it last
From now on - we'll be goin' somewhere slowly
Instead of going nowhere fast

Faster than the days go by
I know we're gonna make them last
Instead of goin' nowhere fast

Was it some man that didn't treat you right
Left you reaching out for him in the middle of the night
Is there some heartache that you can't out run
That makes you so afraid to get close to anyone
You're so - easy to look at
You're so easy to hold
It's so easy to touch you - but so hard to let go
It's so easy to want you - that I can't get enough
Tell me why do ya have to be
Why do ya have to be so hard to love
Is it some hurt from long ago
That makes it so hard to let your feelings show
Is it the ghost of who you used to be
That makes you so afraid to bear your soul to me

To really love a woman
To understand her - you gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought - see every dream
N' give her wings - when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
Ya know ya really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really - really really ever loved a woman?

To really love a woman
Let her hold you - til ya know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her - really taste her
Til you can feel her in your blood
N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
Ya know ya really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her that you'll always be together
So tell me have you ever really - really really ever loved a woman?

You got to give her some faith - hold her tight
A little tenderness - gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin' good care of you
Ya really gotta love your woman...

Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
Ya know ya really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really - really really ever loved a woman?

So tell me have you ever really - really really ever loved a woman?

So tell me have you ever really - really really ever loved a woman?

I wanna be your t-shirt when it's wet

I gotta be the tattoo on your skin
Ya lemme be your bed, baby, when you climb in

*Repeat

It ain't a party - if you can't come 'round
You can drive the car - I'll play my ol' guitar
Come back to me - come back to me
Ya we can get some beer - ya let's get outta here
Come back to me - come back to me
We'll find a place to go - no one will ever know
Somewhere that's outta town
Put a blanket on the ground - baby
N' we can really go crazy
Babe it ain't a party - if you can't come 'round
Can't even get started - if you don't come down
Even Saturday - ain't a holiday - if you stay away
No - no it ain't a party - if you can't come 'round

Slip into somethin' tight - we'll slip into the night
Come back to me - come back to me
We'll see the sun go down - 'n maybe fool around
Come back to me - come back to me
Ya we can start a fire - maybe get a little higher
Don't worry what to bring - cuz we got everything - baby
And we can really go crazy

Babe it ain't a party - if you can't come 'round
Can't even get started - if you don't come down
Even Saturday - ain't a holiday - if you stay away
No - no it ain't a party - if you can't come 'round

She got a nasty reputation and a talent for sin
She's the kinda trouble i'd like to be in
I wanna be a lover - I wanna be a slave
But she's the kinda women makes me wanna misbehave
So give it what you want boy - let's make it understood
That if ya wanna be bad ya gotta be good

She says there'll be no lying - no foolin' around
No seven day weekends -
no nights on the town
Well that's the way I wast it -
that's the way it's gotta be
If you're looking for trouble better get it from me
So get on your knees boy and do what you should
If ya wanna be bad ya gotta be good

I don't look good in no Armani Suits
No Gucci shoes - or designer boots
I've tried the latest lines from A to Z
But there's just one thing that looks good on me

The only thing I want
The only thing I need
The only thing I choose
The only thing that looks good on me...is you

I'm not satisfied with Versace style
Put those patent leather pants - in the circular file
Sometimes I think - I might be lookin' good
But there's only one thing that fits me like it should

The only thing I want
The only thing I need
The only thing I choose
The only thing that looks good on me...is you

Ya it's you - it could only be you
Nobody else will ever do
Ya baby it's you - that I stick to
Ya we stick like glue

The only thing I want
The only thing I need
The only thing I choose
The only thing that looks good on me...is you

I was caught in the crossfire of a silent scream
Where one man's nightmare is another man's dream
Pull the cover up high - and pray for the mornin' light
Cause you're livin' alone - in the heat of the night

Met a man with a message from the other side
Couldn't take the pressure - had to leave it behind
He said it's up to you
You can run or you can fight (Ya that's right)
Better leave it alone - in the heat of the night

In the heat of the night they'll be comin' around
There'll be lookin' for answers they'll be chasin' you down
In the heat of the night
(Where ya gonna hide when it all comes down)
(Don't look back don't ever turn around)

Had to pay the piper to call the tune
Said he'd be back someday - said he'd be back real soon
Pull the shades down low - you'll know when the time is right
When you're lyin' alone in the heat of the night

Life-thin as a thread

Sometimes you're lucky

Sometimes you're better off dead

Your first breath is taken and in to the world you are cast

You long for tomorrow while living each day as your last

Well I know what your heart desires

But you can't take it with you

Into the fire

Now you've done all you can

Your life's at the crossroads

You watch as it slips through your hands

So stand on the mountain and shout in vain at the sky

But nobody hears you-the words only echo inside

Oh shelter the flame-it may expire

Risin' up from the ashes

Into the fire

Just hold on to your life down to the wire

Oh out from the dragon's jaws

Into the fire

There's a moment in every man's life

When he must decide what is wrong and what's right

You could wait for your dreams to come true

But time has no mercy

Time won't stand still for you

Well I know what your heart desires

Crawlin' out from the wreckage

Into the fire

Here I go...into the fire

I know...what your heart desires
