Rising with the morning sun
I turn to greet the dawn,
Knowing I must face another day.
Sleepless night behind me,
Just a memory of pain,
My heart has always
been a cross to bear.
Lord I know the sun shine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away.
I'll try, hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today.
All around me, shadows fall,
Tho' day has just begun,
I realise I'm on my own again.
Memories of broken dreams,
As distant as the sun,
Are drifting like an echo
in the wind.
Lord, I know the sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my
sins away.
I'll try, hard to remember
So I won't be fooled
again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no
more today.
Babe, I thought about it,
But, it just ain't done
good,
You hold my heart and
soul within your hand.
All the time, you're in my
mind,
I never thought you
could be so blind,
Maybe someday I will
understand.
Lord, I know the sun
shine,
But I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my
sins away.
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled
again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no
more today, no more.
Hey, mama you drive me
crazy,
Knowing you're my
hearts desire,
Why'd you go and hang
me up this way.
You've given me love,
given me love,
Now tell me what you
were thinking of,
Why'd you go and steal
my soul away.
Lord I know the
sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of
rain
Falling down to wash my
sins away.
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled
again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no
more today.
I ain't gonna cry no
more.

Lord I know the

Ain't gonna cry no

Hey, I ain't gonna cry no

Some people tell me
The blues ain't bad,
But, I've never know anything
Make me feel so sad...
Running on empty, hurting to the core,
When everything don't mean nothing any more...

From a distance
Every little thing looks fine,
But, the closer you get
You see the make up,
Cracked and lined...
Somewhere there's a rainbow
With a pot of gold,
But, by the time you get there
It's been taken and sold...

So I keep saying, baby...

All in the name of love,
It's all in the name of love, my friend,
All in the name of love
We all suffer in the end...

In my room
There are no shadows in the wall,
'Cause I closed up the window
So no light gets in at all.
It's a bad situation,
With no end in sight,
A heartache deep as the ocean
And darker than the night...

So I keep saying to you, baby,

All in the name of love,
It's all in the name of love, my friend,
All in the name of love
We all suffer in the end...

With no one to lean on
You pray to the Lord above,
But, we keep hurting each other
In the name of love...

All in the name of love...

With no one to lean on
You pray to the Lord above,
But, we keep hurting each other
In the name of love...

All in the name of love,
It's all in the name of love, my friend,
All in the name of love
We all suffer in the end...

All in the name of love,
It's all in the name of love, my friend,
All in the name of love
We all suffer in the end...

All in the name of love...

Here I sit
A broken hearted man
Lady Luck
Dealt me a losing hand

So what's a man like me to do
I'm still a fool in love with you

I gave you
All the love I had to give
And you took away my reason
Left to live

I feel I'm running out of time
And I just wanna make you mine

Take me home tonight
Make me feel alright

All out of luck
Clean out of time
All out of luck
Drive me out of my mind

I gambled with my heart
And paid the price
I threw it all away
On a roll of the dice

I tried to play the King of Hearts
Now, I'm the Joker
Torn apart

Take me home tonight
Make me feel alright

All out of luck
Clean out of time
All out of luck

Drive me out of my mind

So here I sit
A broken hearted man
Lady Luck
Dealt me a losing hand

So what's a man like me to do
I'm still a fool in love with you

Take me home tonight
Make me feel alright

All out of luck
Clean out of time
All out of luck
Drive me out of my mind

All out of luck
All out of luck
Clean out of time
All out of luck
Drive me out of my mind

You never call me, babe,
Until your man is gone,
I know it's you
When I pick up the
telephone.
You ask me how I am
And if I'm doing well,
When all you want from

Is just to ring your bell.
Take your time, we can

'Cos it's alright.
We can feel fine drinking
midnight wine,
'Cos it's alright.
Black and blue, black

I said come over here,

And love me till I'm

You got the key to love
Dressed in your innocent

You know you touched

I was dreaming of the past,
Why do good times never last....
Help me Jesus, show the way
I can't hold on another day....
I was hungry, felling low,
I just couldn't make out which way to go
Chasing rainbows that have no end,
The road is long without friend...
Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call....
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul....
Just a young man looking homeward,
Watching the sun go down again....
Across the water the sun is shining,
But, will it ever be the same....
Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call....
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul....
I need somebody, I need someone,
I need somebody to call my own....
Like a blindman I can feel the heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know where it's coming from....
Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call....
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul....
I need somebody, I need someone,
I need somebody to call my own....
Like a blindman I can feel the heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know where is coming from....

Now when I first met you
I was rolling along,
Just a bar room crooner
Singing heartbreak songs,
An' I supposed I could never get next to you.
But, you seemed quite
happy with my company
You kept my body heat steady at 103,
With your mouth full of gimme
An' your body full of much obliged.
It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
Bloody luxury
What you do to me.
It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
'Cos no matter what you do to me
It's bloody luxury.
Bloody luxury.


You're a five star woman,
An' you know what to give
To fill a part time loser
Full of reasons to live,
But, there's no doubt about it
I'm taking a chance on you.
Becos' you get my heart beating heavy,
Make my knees go weak.
You get me so damn nervous
I can hardly speak,
But, nothing's gonna stop me
Hanging on my good luck charm.
It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
Bloody luxury
What you do to me.
It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
'Cos no matter what you do to me
It's bloody luxury.
Bloody luxury.


It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
Bloody luxury
Honey what you do to me.
It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
'Cos no matter what you do to me
It's bloody luxury.
Bloody luxury.
What you mean to me,
Bloody luxury
Honey what you do to me.
It's bloody luxury
What you mean to me,
'Cos no matter what you do to me,
No matter what you do to me,
It's bloody luxury.

The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is "Burn!"

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.

The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

The sky is red, I don't understand,

People are sayin' the woman is damned,

The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is "Burn!"

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"

I've been feeling sentimental
In a melancholy way,
Blues sitting on my shoulder,
Getting heavier everyday...
Staring into space
One thing on my mind,
I've been trying to drown
The thought of you
By drinking too much wine...

Then my imagination
Starts running wild,
I snap my fingers
And you're there by my side...

Can't go on without your love,
There's no song without your love...
Ain't no reason, ain't no rhyme,
Without your love I'll go out of my mind...

Been getting too lazy,
Letting myself go,
Feeling like a refugee
No one cares for anymore..
Endless lonely days,
I just try to get through
And there's no escape,
Even when I sleep.
'Cause all I dream is you...

Then my imagination
Gets the better of me,
'Cause you're everywhere I go,
In everything I see...

I can't go on without your love,
There ain't no song without your love...
There ain't so reason, there ain't no rhyme,
Without your love
I'll go out of my mind...

You make me dance,
You make me sing,
When I'm with you
I can do anything...
When I'm cold.
You keep me warm...
And give me shelter
From the howling storm

There ain't no reason, there ain't no rhyme,
Without your love
I'll go out of my mind...

Can't go on without your love,
There's no song without your love...
There ain't no reason, there ain't no rhyme,
Without your love
I'll go out of my mind...

I take what I want,
And I got my eye on you.
It's late in the evening
What are you gonna do.

I got the place,
If you got the time,
I got the motion, baby,
If you got the mind.

So wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache.

So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road.
Carry your load, down the long, winding road.

All I'm asking, all I wanna do is just
Put a little love in your heart,
Put a little love in your heart.

I know what I want,
And it's close to the bone.
Sooner or later, baby,
I'll be taking you home.

You got the cool,
But, you give me the heat.
You got the music, baby,
But, you give me the beat.

So wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache.

So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road.
Carry your love,
Down the long, winding road.

All I'm asking, all I wanna do is just
Put a little love in your heart.

(Solo)

Wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache.

So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road.
Carry your love
Down the long, winding road.
You got to carry your load
Down the long, winding road...

I was running for the folks I know who never had it good
But don't know if they're feeling fine when naturally they should
Recently I seem to have become a new born man
I want to share with everyone what happened in my past

Open up the door
Going to be down the road
Celebration, celebration
Celebration, celebration

Feeling come and go again never have to please
After she let you down bring you to your knees
When you're feeling good, nothing you can do
Going to take you to the Mardi Gras piss it out on you

Going to make you feel all right
Going to make it through the night
Celebration, celebration
celebration, celebration

If you want to know what happend in the past never had it good
Come on in and see the crime I really believe they should
Recently I've seen to have become an new born man
I want to share with everyone what happened in my past

I've never been one to tease
Only want to please

Celebration, celebration
celebration, celebration

Celebration, I just want to celebrate
Celebration, give me two, give me one

I get so confused,
But, my heart knows you're one of a kind.
Leather an' lace, an angels face,
Riding on a one track mind.
You're fully loaded with cruise control,
My four wheels rock with your back seat roll.

You're cheap an' nasty,
All you wanna do is give it up, give it up.
Cheap an' nasty,
Come on an' do the dirty with me.

I get so excited, babe, when I'm invited
To ride in your limousine,
You drive it every day, burn it every night,
I wonder how you keep it so clean.
Smooth accelerator, you get me so loose,
You keep your motor running till I run out of juice.

You're cheap an' nasty,
All you wanna do is give it up, give it up.
Cheap an' nasty,
Come on an' do the dirty with me.

(Solo)

Cheap an' nasty...

I never knew it could be this way
An' I never thought I'd ever complain,
But, gimme a second just to catch my breath
Babe, before you do it again.

All the boys call your name
Down the wishing well,
Baby, when you go
You're like a cat out of hell.

You're cheap an' nasty,
All you wanna do is give it up, give it up.
Cheap an' nasty,
All you wanna do is give it up, give it up.
Cheap an' nasty,
All you wanna do is give it up, give it up.
Cheap an' nasty,
Come on an' do the dirty with me.

Come on an' do the dirty,
Come on an' do the dirty,
Come on an' do the dirty with me.
Come on an' do the dirty with me.

When I heard the sound of thunder
On the day that I was born,
I was blinded by the lighting
An' baptised in the storm.
My father started crying
When he saw what he had done,
But, my mother started praying
Have mercy on my son,
He is a child of Babylon.
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son.
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run.
I am a child,
A child of Babylon.


When I've fooled around so many times
When I've known it ain't been right,
But, I paint it all in colours
When it really should be black and white.
I sail my ship through muddy waters,
Try to open every door,
When I saw the seven wonders
It left me wanting more.
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son.
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run.
I am a child,
A child of Babylon.


On my day of judgement
I know how it will be,
I'm prepared to meet my maker
With no hope for charity.
I'll stand alone and pay the price
For everything I've done,
'Cos there ain't guardian angel
For a child of Babylon.


I am a child,
A child of Babylon.
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son.
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run.
I am a child,
A child of Babylon.

My mama showed me how to rock in the cradle
But I learned how to roll along
My papa said "son, gotta git some fun,
Cos when your old it ain't too good on your own"
Been so long since you heard my song
Gonna pick up my guitar and play
Felt so bad when I had to leave you
But I knew that I'd be back some day

So I'm comin' home
To give you more than you bargained for
Comin' home
No mistake I'm gonna shiver 'n' shake
Comin' home
Gonna rock 'n' roll an' give you my soul
Comin' home
I got over the pain I'm comin' home again

Groovin to American Bandstand
B.B. onstage with 'Lucille'
The thrill is gone but it won't be for long
Cos you know I like to play how you feel
Now that we're back together
Gonna shiver 'n' shake all night
I just gotta say the music I play
Will sure enough make you feel alright

Though I learned how to rock in the cradle
An' rollin' came so easy to me
All the years I travelled the world
Made it so clear to see
It's been so long since you heard my song
Gonna pick up my guitar 'n' play
Felt so bad when I had to leave you
But I knew that I'd be back some day

Comin' home
To give you more than you baragained for
Comin' home
No mistake I'm gonna shiver and shake
Comin' home
Gonna rock 'n' roll and give you my soul
Comin' home
I got over the pain I'm comin' home again
Comin' home
Shiver 'n' shakin' anticpatin'
Comin' home
The thrill is gone but it won't be for long

Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
Oooh it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power big fat tyres
And everything

I love it and I need it
I bleed it yeah it's a wild hurricane
Alright hold tight
I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my girl
I'm gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna have my girl
She stays close on every bend
Oooh she's a killing machine
She's got everything
Like a moving mouth body control
And everything

I love her I need her
I seed her
Yeah she turns me on
Alright hold on tight
I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my head
I got speed inside my brain
Nobody gonna steal my head
Now that I'm on the road again
Oooh I'm in heaven again I've got everything
Like a moving ground an open road
And everything

I love it and I need it
I seed it
Eight cylinders all mine
Alright hold on tight
I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
Oooh it's a killing machine
It's got everything

Fat tyres and everything

I love it and I need it
I bleed it
Yeah it's a wild hurricane
Alright hold on tight
I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star

I lost my heart in a moment of madness
Took a chance on romance with you
But you roll your dice as cold as ice
Llady luck's got nothing on you
It's too bad I'm all out of luck again

You deal your cards under the table
Never giving nothing away
You're the black queen of hearts tearing me apart
Cheating on me night and day
It's too bad I'm all out of luck again

Somebody throw me a life preserver
'Cause I'm going down
With a cry for love
A cry for love

I'm out of luck and you're no lady
This game of love ain't treating me right
So pour another shot double what you got
Get me drunk as a skunk tonight
It's too bad I'm all out of luck again

I can't run I can't hide
Always on the losing side
Can't you see me?
Can't you hear a cry for love
A cry for love
A cry for love

Somebody throw me a life preserver
Get me off shaky ground
Call off the dogs that hound me
'Cause I'm going down
With a cry for love
A cry for love

Cry cry cry cry for love

I smell trouble
And where there's smoke
There must be fire...
You sow your seeds of jealousy
And the flames
Just keep on growing higher...

This can't be love anymore,
I know, 'cause I've done
Everything I can...
And all that you can do
I pour gasoline
On a burning man...

Tears of rage, tears of pain,
Burning my eyes,
I realise, I'm crying...
Crying... I'm crying
Bitter tears falling like rain...

Lies...
I can never understand,
You play your cards under the table,
Dealing me a losing hand...

Tears of rage, tears of pain,
Burning my eyes,
I realise, I'm crying
Crying... I'm crying
Bitter tears falling like rain...
Crying, always crying, crying
Bitter tears falling like rain...

I want to be there
When your demons come to call...

I'm gonna finish what you started, baby,
Watch you burn little house down,
Burn it down, down, down...

Then I'll see you crying,
Crying... Crying...
Bitter tears falling like rain...

A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever,
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night,
A woman goes crazy
With the though of retribution
But, a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life.

I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind.
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But, a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry.

The sun is shining
Oh, but, it's raining in my heart.

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain.

I can never deny
All the sweet things I have tasted,
Tho' I've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more, more, more.
I know where I'm going
There's no hope of absolution,
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad.

The sun is shining
Oh baby, it's still raining in my heart, in my heart.

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain, no, no, no.

(Solo)

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart.

No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
No one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain...

Crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain.

A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever,
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night,
A woman goes crazy
With the though of retribution
But, a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life.

I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind.
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But, a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry.

Oh, but, it's raining in my heart.

I don't need a doctor, I don't need a priest,
I don't need no superstitious cures for my release.
I'm flesh an' blood, skin an' bone.
A little petticoat company can't get me stoned.

So just gimme the night,
Skin it back to the bone,
Turn on the spotlight.

C'mon, bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls.
You can dance, dance,
Dance for me,
Dance for your daddy all night.

I got a one track notion on a feminine squeeze,
A sackfull of love an' a mindful of fantasies.
A midnight rider on a stallion steam,
I got an old man's weakness hanging on a young man's dream.

So just gimme the night,
Skin it back to the bone,
Turn on the spotlight.

C'mon, bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls,
Bring on the dancing girls.
You can dance, dance,
Dance for me,
Dance for your daddy all night.

(Solo)

So just gimme the night,
Skin it back to the bone,
Turn on the spotlight.

C'mon, bring on the dancing girls,

Bring on the dancing girls...

If you fool around
With the dealer
Remember soon
You'll have to pay
He'll creep behind you
Like a hunter
Just to steal your soul away
I don't want no one
Messing with my woman
But just the same
I don't see nobody
Fooling with you
If you're snowblind
Madonna can hold you
But if you don't understand
There is nothing she can do for you

Running from the dealer
Trying to save your soul

I can feel the fire
Coming from inside you
I know what it's like
Cos I've been burned before
Ain't no mercy
In the hunger but
You're a fool to yourself
Cos your dealer keeps you begging for more

Running from the dealer
Trying to save your soul

In the beginning all you wanted
Was the calm before the storm
If the bluebird plays the eagle
He finds his song will turn to stone
Dealer

I'm gonna take it to the limit of my love,
Before I turn and walk away.
I've had enough of holding on
The promises of yesterday.
Every day of my life, it seems,
Trouble's knocking at my door,
It's hard to try and satisfy
When you don't know what you're fighting for
Time and again I sing your song,
But, I've been runnin' on empty far too long.
I've had enough holdin' on to the past,
Make no mistake, it could be your last.
Don't break my heart again,
like you did before.
Don't break my heart again,
I couldn't take anymore.
I never hide the feeling inside,
And though I'm standing my back to the wall,
A little bit of rain must fall.
I know that even in a summer love
But, every road I take I know
Where it's gonna lead me to,
Because I've travelled every highway
And they all keep coming back to you.
Time and again I sing your song,
But, I've been runnin' on empty far too long.
I've had enough holdin' on to the past,
Make no mistake, it could be your last.
Don't break my heart again,
like you did before.
Don't break my heart again,
I couldn't take anymore.
Don't break my heart.


Don't break my heart again,
like you did before.
Don't break my heart again,
I couldn't take anymore...
Don't break my heart again,
like you did before.
Don't break my heart again,
I couldn't take anymore...
Don't break my heart again,
like you did before.
Don't break my heart again,

As I stand at the crossroad,
I see the sun sinking low...
With my cross of indecision,
I can't tell which way to go...
Now I have seen the seven wonders
And I have sailed the seven seas,
I've walked and talked with angels,
And danced all night with gipsy queens...

All in all its been a rocky road,
Twists and turns along the way...
But I still pray for tomorrow,
All my hopes, my dreams
Don't fade away....Don't fade away

I have painted many portraits,
Memories of love and pain,
Though cut down by life's deceptios
I found the strength to start again

All in all its been a rocky road,
Twists and turns along the way...
But I still pray for tomorrow,
All my hopes, my dreams
Don't fade away....Don't fade away

Heaven help a man
Trying to make up his mind,
With my darkness closing in,,
I fell I'm running out of time...
Shine a light for me,
Help me find the way to go,
And take me where I've never been before

And so I stand at the crossroad,
Watching the sun sinking low...
With my cross of indecision,
Trying to find the way to go...

All in all its been a rocky road,
Twists and turns along the way...
But I still pray for tomorrow,
All my hopes, my dreams
Don't fade away

I've been lied to all my life
It cuts me to the bone but I've survived
Lies and deceptions so hard to see
When I needed you you turned you back on me

Where were you when I needed you?
Everything you asked of me I tried to do

Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Do anything you want but don't lie to me

I was drowning in misery
Behind your painted smile you laughed at me
But I've got your number it's clear to see
I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me

Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
One thing I can't stand is when you lie to me

And all because I trusted you
But lied to me you lied

I've been lied to all my life
It cuts me to the bone but I survived
Nothing ever changes it's still the same
But one day you'll get yours in the lying game

(Coverdale/Sykes)

You say your dreams are burned to ashes
And your smiles have turned to tears,
It seems to me you welcome sanest
As you surrender to your fears

So what's a man like me supposed to do
When all I want is just to make love to you

Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night,
Before the night is gone

You say your heart is lost forever
And you're always gonna give your love in vain
So you paint yourself a lonely portrait
And hide your love away again

You turn away from what you feel inside,
You can't forget all your foolish pride

Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night is gone

So now I'm asking you this question
Am I gonna give you all my love in vain
Do you want to drown in your own sorrow
Or are you gonna try to love again

Don't turn away from what you feel inside,
You should try to forget about all your foolish pride

Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night,
Before the night,
Before the night is gone

Don't turn away from me baby,
No, no, no, no.
Don't put me away,
Don't walk away from me darling
I need your love,
Oh baby,
I need your love to rescue me,
An' I'm coming for you, baby...

You say your dreams are burned to ashes
And your smiles have turned to tears,
It seems to me you welcome sanest
As you surrender to your fears

So what's a man like me supposed to do
When all I want is just to make love to you

Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night,
Before the night is gone

You say your heart is lost forever
And you're always gonna give your love in vain
So you paint yourself a lonely portrait
And hide your love away again

You turn away from what you feel inside,
You can't forget all your foolish pride

Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night is gone

So now I'm asking you this question
Am I gonna give you all my love in vain
Do you wanna drown in your own sorrow
Or are you gonna try to love again

Don't turn away from what you feel inside,
You should try to forget about all your foolish pride

Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night,
Before the night,
Before the night is gone

Don't turn away from me baby,
No, no, no, no.
Don't put me away,
Don't walk away from me darling
I need your love,
Oh baby,
I need your love to rescue me,
An' I'm coming for you, baby

If you're tired of holding on
And you feel you can't go on
when it's all too much to bear
Call my name

If the sun refused to shine
And you're all used up from trying
When you can't hold back the tears
I'll be there
I'll be there

So don't you cry
Don't you cry
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Forget about goodbyes
Baby don't you cry

If you feel your love grow cold
When it chills your heart and soul
If you need a hand to hold
Think of me

You're the reason I love
You're my heaven above
You're the reason I try
So dry the tears in your eyes
You're the reason I'm here
The reason I'm living for

So if you're tired of holding on
And you feel you can't go on
When it's all too much to bear
I'll be there

I was born a rambling man
An' I never got the chance
To settle down an' get a hold on love
Takin' air an' movin' around
Is all I can see that I'm doin'
An' it is bringin' me down
Drivin' on a highway going nowhere
Desolation destination
Guess I'll find it somewhere
I know if there's trouble
I ain't takin' the blame
That's why I keep movin'
So nobody knows my name

Born a loser
I'm beyond the law
Women behind me
Never can find me
They can never get together
What I've been here for
Cos I'm a drifter

Rollin' on
Ain't wastin' my time no more

You've got my love
To keep you warm
Give you shelter
From the storm
Anytime you need
Thro' the long
And lonely night
You've got me
To hold you tight
My love is guaranteed

You're everything I've waited for
Now, I don't have to look no more

Take me as I am
I'll do the best I can
For your love
It's easier said than done
Take me by the hand
Try to understand
When I say
It's easier said than done

Sometimes I swim
Against the tide
But, when I know
You're by my side
There ain't nothing I can't do
Baby, my heart's an open book
Anytime you want to look
Cos' it's written just for you

You're everything I've waited for
Now I don't have to look no more
Take me as I am
I'll do the best I can
For your love
But, it's easier said than done
Take me by the hand

Try to understand
When I say
It's easier said than done

You're everything I've waited for
Now, I don't have to look no more
You're everything I want you to be
Baby, Baby won't you stay with me

Take me as I am
I'll do the best I can
For your love
But, it's easier said than done
Take me by the hand
Try to understand
When I say
It's easier said than done

Easier said than done

There's a cold wind blowing
Across my heart
Feels like forever
Since we've been apart
It's so hard, Baby
I don't know where to begin

I've been so lucky
In this life of mine
The best of both worlds
Most of the time
But, now I know
It's time for me to go

Fare thee well
I'll soon be gone
Fare thee well
Back where I belong

We had our moments
Our days in the sun
But, now it's time
I should be moving on
But, you'll be in my heart
Wherever I go

Fare thee well
I'll soon be gone
Fare thee well
Back where I belong

I'm on my way
I'm going home
My bags are packed
And I'm ready to roll
I'm going home
Don't you cry
Let's have a drink
Before we say goodbye

I'm going home
Going home

All the love we've shared for years
Enough to make a heart break
All the joy and all the tears
Take me back where I belong

Fare thee well
I'll soon be gone
Fare thee well
Back where I belong

I'm going home
Going home

I'm on my way
I'm going home
My bags are packed
And I'm ready to roll
I'm going home
Don't you cry
Let's have a drink
Before we say goodbye

I'm on my way
I'm going home
My bags are packed
And I'm ready to roll
I'm going home
Don't you cry
Let's have a drink
Before we say goodbye

I'm going home
Going home

Hey, gypsy woman, roll your dice for me,

Pocketful of backstage passes.

I was born under a bad sign,
left out in the cold
I'm a lonely man who knows just
what it means to lose control
But I took all the heartache
and turned it to shame
Now I'm movin', movin' on
and I ain't taking the blame
Don't come running to me,
I know I've done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
just makes a hard loving man
So I can say it to you, babe:
I'll be a fool for your loving no more
A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying
A fool for your loving no more,
I'll be a fool for your loving no more


I'm tired of hiding my feelings,
you left me lonely too long
I gave my heart and you tore it apart
Oh, baby you done me wrong
Don't come running to me,
I know I've done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
just makes a hard loving man
So I can say it to you, babe:

A fool for your loving no more,
I'll be a fool for your loving no more

I've been a gypsy
For a thousand years
A victim of circumstance
I go wherever my destiny calls
I'm caught in a game of chance

I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside

No fame or fortune,
No luck of the draw
When I dance with Queen of Hearts
A jack of all trades
But, a loser in love
It's tearing my soul apart

Still I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in
I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in

The jack of diamonds
An' the ace of spades
Try to use me, and to abuse me
It seems the dealer
Wont give me a chance
I'm victim of circumstance

So I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in
So I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in...

I've been a gypsy
For a thousand years.
A victim of circumstance.
I go wherever my destiny calls.
I'm caught in a game of chance.
I stand on the outside
Looking at love.
I wanna get inside.
I stand on the outside
Looking at love.
Just trying to get inside.

A jack of all trades.
But, a loser in love.
It's tearing my soul apart.
Still I stand on the outside
Looking at love.
I wanna get inside.
I stand on the outside
Looking at love.
I wanna get inside.
