Love has shaken me, sometimes mistaken me
This time it's making me hide Love has told on me then got a hold on me Followed my heart to my pride But something's been making me blue And somehow I can't talk it over with you Something's been making me sad Something I'm missing that I never had And I know what's making me blue Is losing you Love was a game you played, a mistake I made Never found it on time I thought love was alive again, then it died again Leavin' me wondering why But something's ben making me blue And somehow I can't talk it over with you Something's been making me sad Something I'm missing that I never had And I know what's making me blue Is losing you What is this feeling that keeps you revealing your pride Why don't you listen you can't reminisce on the times that she loved you and lied I know, but love was so real to me how does it feel to be Tellin' yourself it's a lie But now love's got me wondering got me fumbling, Got me stumbling by But something's ben making me blue And somehow I can't talk it over with you Something's been making me sad Something I'm missing that I never had And I know what's making me blue Is losing you |

Don't talk to me of shattered dreams,
Of course you don't know what it means, To live for someone else, you can't just take, And when you're bitten by the truth, You blame it on your mis-spent youth, You never seem to learn by your mistakes. So don't talk to me of wild wild angels, Wild wild angels on the skyways, Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life, 'Cos it's people like you who never knew, What wild wild angels have to face. And I ain't hangin' round to see, You turn on someone else like me, I'm still alive and you know the way I live, But baby that's one way you'll never be, Such simple things you fail to see, You take back everything you ever give. So don't talk to me of wild wild angels, Wild wild angels on the skyways, Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life, 'Cos it's people like you who never knew, What wild wild angels have to face. So don't talk to me of wild wild angels, Wild wild angels on the skyways, Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life, 'Cos it's people like you who never knew, What wild wild angels have to face. So don't talk to me of wild wild angels, Wild wild angels on the skyways, Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life, 'Cos it's people like you who never knew, What wild wild angels have to face |

I met a girl in L.A. and she seemed alright to me,
She said she'd give me loving and she said it would be free, She told me she would call me or leave a message at the door, And left me wondering what I was in for. By the next time that I saw her I had clean forgot her name And without her fancy make-up she just didn't look the same, So I totally ignored her and she sadly turned away, And through sympathy I told her she could stay. Oh poor lady, midnight baby, No one wants your love at all, Oh poor lady, midnight baby, Now you're heading for a fall, And you really think your're something, you know all the things to do But poor lady, just a baby, There's a hundred more like you. Now for two weeks more she was at my door, She would stay with me for days, As a lover she was frightening in so many different ways, But when it came to conversation she was totally absurd, Oh she'd sit for hours and never say a word. Oh poor lady, midnight baby, No one wants your love at all, Oh poor lady, midnight baby, Now you're heading for a fall, And you really think your're something, you know all the things to do But poor lady, just a baby, There's a hundred more like you. She spends her days in different ways, still trying to be hip, And at night she'll find she'll lose her mind, at a club along the strip, When her money goes she always knows she got something she can sell, It's the one thing that she really can do well. Oh poor lady, midnight baby, No one wants your love at all, Oh poor lady, midnight baby, Now you're heading for a fall, And you really think your're something, you know all the things to do But poor lady, just a baby, There's a hundred more like you. |

When the night has fallen
And the moon is high And you get that far away look in your eyes Oh can`t you see you`re acting like a stranger When you loving feelings are sohard to find And you can deceive me with your made-up lines Lord knows you sound just like a stranger So just in case you`ve changed your mind You`ve got love if you want it and it can`t be wrong And just in case you find the time You`ve got love if you need it and it can`t be wrong But stranger you`re in danger of losing me Oh stranger you`re in danger of losing me When the wind is howling and the rain comes down And you lie awake without a sound Feel like I`m living with a stranger When I try to hold you and you turn away There seems so little left for me to say Oh lord knows you look just like a stranger So just in case you`ve changed your mind You`ve got love if you want it and it can`t go wrong And just in case you find the time You`ve got love if you need it and it can`t go wrong But stranger you`re in danger of losing me Oh stranger you`re in danger of losing me Oh stranger you`re in danger of losing me |

Like a cloud in the wind Way up in the sky Every move that I make Seems to be the wrong way Like a cold black night After a summer day What can I do What can I do Nothing to say but it used to be Nothing to say but it used to be What can I do You still play my guitar With a smile on my face Now everything's changed My whole life's rearranged From the day I was born Sidle Jinks was my name Though I tried and I tried That name still remains What can I do What can I do Nothing to say but it used to be Nothing to say but it used to be What can I do What can I do What can I do What can I do What can I do I hear voices all singing But no one is there It's a ghost of my life Bringing past tense to mind Lokin' key inside me From the freedom and sin Oh come let me in I'll start all over again What can I do What can I do Nothing to say but it used to be No no no no no no no no no What can I do What can I do What |

A summer evening on Les Champs Elyses
A secret rendezvous they planned for days. I see faces in the crowded cafe A sound of laughter as the music play Jean Claude was a student at the university Louise Marie is just a world away He recall the night they met was warm with laughter The words and music as she turned away * I'll meet you at midnight Under the moonlight I'll meet you at midnight But Jean Claude Louise Marie will never be Each cigarette will light a thousand faces The sade is passing like a thousand years Midnight was turning into empty spaces The sound of laughter's disappeared **I'll meet you at midnight Under the moonlight I'll meet you at midnight But Jean Claude Lousie Marie will never be A summer morning on Les Champs Elyses The entertainment in the street cafe The sunlight melting through an open doorway Jean Claude has left some other day. |

He recall the night they met was warm with laughter The words and music as she turned away. I'll meet you at midnight, Under the moonlight, I'll meet you at midnight... But Jeanne-Claude,Louise-Marie will never be... Each cigarette will light a thousand faces, The shade is passing like a thousand years. Midnight was turning into empty spaces The sound of laughter'd disappeared. I'll meet you at midnight, Under the moonlight, I'll meet you at midnight... Oh, but Jeanne-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be... A summer morning on Les Champs Elyses, The entertainment in the street cafe. The sunlight melting through an open doorway, Jeanne-Claude has left some other day. |

A breathless drive on a downtown street,
A motor-bike ride in the midday heat, The dust that hung from the desert skies, Run though we'd run it still burned our eyes, Oh yes we may walk on the wild wild side of life, And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side, And in the shadows of a promise you can take my hand, And show me a way to understand. So if you think you know how to love me, And you think you know what I need, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way, Yes if you think you know how to love me, And you think you can stand by me, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way. A reckless nite in a nameless town, Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound, A beach that wept with deserted waves, That's where we slept knowing we'd be safe, Now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me, But there's a lot I can learn and a lot that I've yet to see, You know you've got my life lying in your hands, It's up to you to make me understand. So if you think you know how to love me, And you think you know what I need, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way, Yes if you think you know how to love me, And you think you can stand by me, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way. |

In the heat of the night when you know it ain't right
But you do what you want to do. You do what you feel but no one can feel like you. In the summertime city ain't it a pity There's so much to tie you down You're leaving tonight for somewhere you can't be found While down at the end of town At a pool hall where they all hang around You can hear them talking 'bout girls they know Talking 'bout what they're gonna do Then you ask yourself: is this where you belong |

Sally called when she got the word
And she said "I suppose you've heard, 'bout Alice" Well I rushed to the window, and I looked outside But I could hardly believe my eyes As a big limousine rode up onto Alice's drive Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cos for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice 24 years just waitin' for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice We grew up together, two kids in the park Carved out initials deep in the bark, me an' Alice Now she walks through the door, with her head held high Just for a moment I caught her eye As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt And she said, "I know how to help, to get over Alice" She said, "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here You know, I've been waiting 24 years..." And the big limousine disappeared I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cos for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice 24 years just waitin' for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice |

Well I was out cruisin',
getting late and I was losin', When I saw you walking my way, So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want, But so do I and I ain't losing today. Well your hips were swinging and your jeans were clinging, You were driving me out of my mind, On a hot afternoon when there's nothing to do, Your not the sort of thing a fellow should find, So I pulled on over, you tossed your hair off your shoulder, As you turned and you looked my way, Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive, If I'd have said what I wanted to say, So being polite said what you doin' tonight, You said: "Just so happens I'm free", You got all the right curves and all the right words, And that's alright by me. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss, She said: "Hold on a minute or two". Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me, I said: "Baby what's troublin' you", She said: "I'm not sixteen, if you know what I mean", So we sat and we talked for a while, And when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist, And I must say she did it with style. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. All right... Well I was out cruisin', getting late and I was losin', When I saw you walking my way, So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want, But so do I and I ain't losing today. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more.

When you can't sleep nights and you wonder why,
Without a friend and you wanna die. Situation desperation, all you want is sympathy, And sympathy is all you'll get, Enough - you ain't found nothing yet, Till you found the power of love. Your beauty ain't so hard to see, Your looks can make a fool of me, You say the things I want to hear, And tell me it won't disappear, But I won't know until I find if there is any truth behind, What you call the power of love. It takes you, it makes you and sometimes it breaks you, It fills you and thrills you and sometimes it kills you, But I've been looking so hard to find it, I ain't giving it any more time, There's nothing you can do about this, You will never live without it, This is the power of love. |

Mexican Girl
Juanita came to me last night, And she cried over and over Ooh daddy, I love you, you know And I think it's the moonlight. She looked so fine well she looked alright, And she moaned, oh daddy move over Oh baby, you know what I like And I think it's the moonlight. Made in Mexico, schooled in France Ooh la lovin' she needed no teachin' Oh man, I can say International ways, I believe in. Mexican girl, don't leave me alone, I got a heart as big as a stone And I need you belive me To be here and love me tonight. Mexican girl, I want you to stay You know my heart is longing to say That as long as I live I will always remember the one That I called, my Mexican girl. Her skin was soft as the velvet sky And her hair it shone in the moonlight And as the music did play Well the night turned to day And I held her tight. Then she looked at me With her dark brown eyes And she whispered, "Hasta la Vista" Well I don't know what that means But it sounded it's so good so I kissed her. Mexican girl, don't leave me alone, I got a heart as big as a stone And I need you belive me To be here and love me tonight. Mexican girl, I want you to stay You know my heart is longing to say That as long as I live I will always remember the one that I called Now Mexican girl, don't leave me alone, I got a heart as big as a stone And I need you belive me To be here and love me tonight. Mexican girl, I want you to stay You know my heart is longing to say That as long as I live I will always remember the one That I called, my Mexican girl. |

You took me by surprise,
The things you said, you know I never realised. That I was just another fool within your eyes, But now I know just what to do. So I'll be on my way, The games you play are not the games I care to play. So keep your distance, I'll soon find another day, There's nothing I would rather do. Chorus: Oh woman! when you hurt my pride it cut me deep inside, Oh woman! you led me to believe it was only me, Oh woman! you really took me in with all your sweet talkin' Oh woman! oh I wonder if you knew all the pain you put me through, But how could I see what was in your eyes, With your lies and your alibis, Oh woman. You took me for a ride, Looking back, you know I laugh, but then I cried, And now you see that slowly time has changed the tide, so now the tables turned on you. Chorus: Oh woman! when you hurt my pride it cut me deep inside, Oh woman! you led me to believe it was only me, Oh woman! you really took me in with all your sweet talkin' Oh woman! oh I wonder if you knew all the pain you put me through, But how could I see what was in your eyes, with your lies and alibis. Chorus: Oh woman! when you hurt my pride it cut me deep inside, Oh woman! you led me to believe it was only me, Oh woman! you really took me in with all your sweet talkin' Oh woman! oh I wonder if you knew all the pain you put me through, And I'm still in love with you. |

Well I was out cruisin',
getting late and I was losin', When I saw you walking my way, So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want, But so do I and I ain't losing today. Well your hips were swinging and your jeans were clinging, You were driving me out of my mind, On a hot afternoon when there's nothing to do, Your not the sort of thing a fellow should find, So I pulled on over, you tossed your hair off your shoulder, As you turned and you looked my way, Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive, If I'd have said what I wanted to say, So being polite said what you doin' tonight, You said: "Just so happens I'm free", You got all the right curves and all the right words, And that's alright by me. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss, She said: "Hold on a minute or two". Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me, I said: "Baby what's troublin' you", She said: "I'm not sixteen, if you know what I mean", So we sat and we talked for a while, And when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist, And I must say she did it with style. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. All right... Well I was out cruisin', getting late and I was losin', When I saw you walking my way, So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want, But so do I and I ain't losing today. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more. |

Once knew a man who thought he was another guy,
he was livin' a lie. He took a chance by roaming the streets in the night, Till he learned how to fight. He met trouble one night, another man with his wife. So he brought out his knife, didn't mean to take his life. Now he's got to get away, hear him say. Chorus: (First) I'm going down to the Liverpool Docks, Try to hitch a ride, ain't gonna break no rocks. And I never had a friend, I never needed one. I'm going down to the silvery sea, I'm gonna go some place where they won't find me. And maybe I can go where I won't ever have to come back again. He took his time, lived his life alone, An' his thoughts were his own. He lived in a place he'd never heard of before, In Block number four. Then one night at his door, he stood facing the law. On the paper he saw, what they wanted him for, They're gonna take him back, and he said. Chorus: (Second) I'm goin' back to the Liverpool Docks, Gonna take a ride, gotta break some rocks. And I never had a friend, but I never needed one. Take a ride on the silvery sea, I'm gonna go some place where they won't find me. An' I don't wanna go 'cos I know that I'll never come back again. Chorus: (First) repeat |

Sadness has gone from the light in my eyes,
Will she be waiting. Should I feel proud of the tears that I cried, No hesitating. Happiness sounds like the one I have lost, Only to follow. Where in the world is the one that I've crossed, Gone is tomorrow. Chorus: Light in my eyes, Light up my face, Light up my life, light up my life, Light up my life, light up my life. Feelings of fear all around someone's here, Look all around me. Could it be she rediscovering me, Or did she see. Chorus, solo, chorus |

Monday morning was a V.I.P.
Tuesday night they didn't wanna know me, Wednesday night drank sour grapes, Must'a smoked near on fifty straights a-huh-huh. Friday wondered where Thursday went, Saturday failed to pay my rent, Sunday found me in the church to say, If you got a little heaven won't you send it my way. Chorus: Remember me, I'm Petesey, Feeling like sixty, more like thirty-five, Remember me, I'm Petesey, Feeling like sixty, more like thirty-five, Remember me. Took a trip way across the sea, Right through Holland and Germany, Played the tourist at Frankfurt Zoo, The monkeys said "Who the hell are you?" (Who the hell are you). Chorus I was sailing along yes I was singing my song, Yes I was singing my song to you, He was sailing along yes he was singing his song, Yes he was singing his song to you, Remember me. Well I wouldn't say that I was overproud, But it seems to me I've gotta shout out loud, No-one ever seems to recognise me, I think I'll become one of the other three, (Oh no you won't). Chorus |

Baby It's You
I was lost and at an end It seemed so long I really needed a friend Why should I pretend? I couldn't think I had to see That Southern Comfort comforts me I could be free But where would I be? Then you came along And you sang your song And you made my day In your special way Then I knew That baby it's you Baby it's you You know that it's you I'm thinking of Baby it's you Try my best to get along Make some friends, but something always went wrong I come on too strong Things were really getting rough Getting tired of acting like I was tough I just had enough Then you came along And you sang your song And you made my day In your special way Then I knew That baby it's you Baby it's you You know that it's you I'm thinking of Baby it's you (Chorus x 2) |

Got on aboard a west bound seven forty seven
Didn't think before deciding what to do All that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies Rang true, sure rang true Seems it never rain in Southern California Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before It never rains in California But girl, don't they warn ya it pours, man, it pours Out of work, I'm out of my head Out of self respect, I'm out of bread I'm under loved, I'm under fed I wanna go home, it never rains in California But girl don't they warn ya, it pours, man, it pours Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it? Had offers but don't know which one to take Please don't tell them how you found me Don't tell them how you found me Give me a break, give me a break Seems it never rains in Southern California Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before It never rains in California But girl, don't they warn ya it pours man it pours |

I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place I can hear the guitars playin' lovely tunes Every time that you walk in the room I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant I feel a summer's night with a magic moon Every time that you walk in the room Baby it's a dream come true Standin' right along side of you Wish I could show you how much I care But I only have the nerve to stare I can feel a something pounding in my brain Just any time that someone speaks your name Trumpets sound I hear thunder boom Every time that you walk in the room |

You packed in the morning
I stared out the window and I struggled for something to say You left in the rain without closing the door, I didn't stand in your way Now I miss you more than I missed you before, and now Where I'll find comfort, God knows. Cause you left me just when I needed you most Left me just when I needed you most * Now most every morning I stare out the window and I think about where you might be I've written you letters that I'd like to send If you would just send one to me Cause I need you more than I needed before, and now Where I'll find comfort, God knows Cause you left me just when I needed you most Left me just when I needed you most Cause you left me just when I needed you most Cause you left me just when I needed you most 아침에 당신은 짐을 꾸리고 나는 창밖을 바라보며 뭔가 말하려고 애를 썼어요. 문도 닫지 않은 채로 빗속으로 당신은 떠났죠. 난 떠나가는 당신을 막지 않았어요. 예전에 당신을 그리워했던 것보다 지금 휠씬 더 많이 그리워요. 난 어디서 위로를 받아야 할까요? 가장 필요로 할 때 당신이 떠나버렸으니.. 가장 필요할 때 당신은 날 떠났어요. 요즘은 거의 매일 아침 창밖을 바라보며 당신이 어디에 있을까 생각해요. 당신이 나에게 편지를 보낸다면 나도 보내려고 지금까지 계속 편지를 써 왔어요. |

And the first time you touched me, I felt love And after all this time, you're still the one I love Looks like we made it Look how far we've come my baby We mighta took the long way We knew we'd get there someday They said, "I bet they'll never make it" But just look at us holding on We're still together still going strong (You're still the one) You're still the one I run to The one that I belong to You're still the one I want for life (You're still the one) You're still the one that I love The only one I dream of You're still the one I kiss good night Ain't nothin' better We beat the odds together I'm glad we didn't listen Look at what we would be missin' They said, "I bet they'll never make it" But just look at us holding on We're still together still going strong (You're still the one) You're still the one I run to The one that I belong to You're still the one I want for life (You're still the one) You're still the one that I love The only one I dream of You're still the one I kiss good night You're still the one (You're still the one) You're still the one I run to The one that I belong to You're still the one I want for life (You're still the one) You're still the one that I love The only one I dream of You're still the one I kiss good night I'm so glad we made it Look how far we've come my baby |

I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow What started out as friendship, has grown stronger I only wish I had the strength to let it show I tell myself that I can't hold out forever I said there is no reason for my fear 'Cause I feel so secure when we're together You give my life direction, you make everything so clear And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight You're a candle in the window On a cold dark winter's night And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might And I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I've started fighting for It's time to bring this ship into the shore And throw away the oars forever 'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I've started fighting for And if I have to crawl upon the floor Come crashing through your door, Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you I've been running round in circles in my mind And it always seems that I'm following you, girl 'Cause you take me to the places, that alone I'd never find And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight You're a candle in the window On a cold, dark winter's night And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might And I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I've started fighting for It's time to bring this ship into the shore And throw away the oars forever 'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I've started fighting for And if I have to crawl upon the floor Come crashing through your door Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore |

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch burning I was a key that could use a little turning So tired that I couldn't even sleep So many secrets I couldn't keep Promised myself I wouldn't weep One more promise I couldn't keep It seems no one can help me now I'm in too deep there's no way out This time I have really led myself astray Runaway train, never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Can you help me remember how to smile? Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded? Life's mystery seems so faded I can go where no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am just a-drownin' in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train And everything seems cut and dried Day and night, earth and sky Somehow I just don't believe it Runaway train, never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughing at the rain A little out of touch, a little insane It's just easier than dealing with the pain Runaway train, never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Runaway train, never coming back Runaway train, tearing up the track Runaway train, burning in my veins I run away but it always seems the same |

The rain been comin' down Clouds of mystery pourin' Confusion on the ground Good men through the ages Tryin' to find the sun And I wonder, still I wonder Who'll stop the rain I went down Virginia Seekin' shelter from the storm Caught up in the fable I watched the tower grow Five year plans and new deals Wrapped in golden chains And I wonder, still I wonder Who'll stop the rain Heard the singers playin' How we cheered for more The crowd had rushed together Tryin' to keep warm Still the rain kept pourin' Fallin' on my ears And I wonder, still I wonder Who'll stop the rain |

I have visions of many things But happiness is just an illusion Filled with sadness and confusion What becomes of the brokenhearted Who had love that's now departed I know i've got to find Some kind of peace of mind, baby The roots of love grow all around But for me they come tumbling down Every day heartaches grow a little stronger I can't stand things pain much longer I walk in shadows searching for light Cold and alone, no comfort in sight Hopin' and praying for someone who'll care Always moving and going nowhere What becomes of the brokenhearted Who had love that's now departed I know i've got to find Some kind of peace of mind, help me, please I'm searching though i don't succeed But someone look, there's a growing need All is lost, there's no place for beginning All that's left is an unhappy ending Now what becomes of the brokenhearted Who had love that's now departed I know i've got to find Some kind of peace of mind I'll be searching everywhere Just to find someone to care I'll be looking every day I know i'm gonna find a way Nothing gonna stop me now I'll find a way somehow And i'll be searching everywhere I know i'll find it somewhere |

No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do No matter what they teach us What we believe is true No matter how they call us No matter how they attack No matter where they take us We'll find our own way back I can't deny what i believe I can't be what i'm not I'll know our love forever I know no matter what If only tears were laughter If only night was day If only prayers were answered Then we would hear god say No matter what they tell you No matter what they do No matter what they teach you What you believe is true And i will keep you safe and strong And sheltered from the storm No matter where it's barren A dream is being born No matter who they follow No matter where they lead No matter how they judge us I'll be everyone you need No matter if the sun don't shine (the sun don't shine) Or if the skies are blue (skies are blue) No matter what the ending My life began with you I can't deny what i believe (what i believe) I can't be what i'm not (i know i know) I know this love's forever That's all that matters now, no matter what No no matter what.. No no matter what.. (no no matter that's all that matters to me) |

I've had many times
I can tell you Times when innocence i'd trade for company And children saw me crying I thought i'd had my share of that But these miss you nights Are the longest Midnight diamonds Stud my heaven Southward burning Lie the jewels that eye my place And the warm winds That embrace me Jst as surely kissed your face Yeah these miss you nights Are the longest How i miss you I'm not likely to tell I'm a man and cold day light Buys the pride i'd rather sell All my secrets Are wasted affair You know them well Thinking of my going How to cut the thread And leave it all behind Looking windward for my compass I take each day as it arrives But these miss you nights Are the longest Lay down all thought of your surrender It's only me who's killing time Lay down all dreams and themes once remembered It's just the same This miss you game Yeah these miss you nights Are the longest |

You've been looking round for so long
That you don't know if it's right or it's wrong And I've been thinking that it always seems I'm living in the same old dreams Tonight you're going nowhere And you can't make up your mind But tomorrow you may realize You need a love like mine, so baby... You can love me for the wrong reasons If that's what's gonna make you stay the night And I can pretend that it's not gonna end And in the morning we'll be alright You can love me for the wrong reasons If that's what's gonna get you through the day But you won't find another heart like mine 'cause I'm gonna love you I'm gonna love you in the right ways You can tell yourself it's just the way I smile at you or the things I say But I can make myself believe it's true But it's not real, you're just passing on through And even when you're falling And you tell me that you're not That won't stop me giving you Everything I got, so baby... You can love me for the wrong reasons If that's what's gonna make you stay the night And I can pretend that it's not gonna end And in the morning we'll be alright You can love me for the wrong reasons If that's what's gonna get you through the day But you won't find another heart like mine I'm gonna love you I'm gonna love you in the right ways Oh, and even when you're falling And you can't make up your mind But tomorrow you may realize You need a love like mine, so baby... You can love me for the wrong reasons If that's what's gonna get you through the day But you won't find another heart like mine I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you I'm gonna love you in the right ways |

I still remember
Oh the night that we first met the moment you looked in my eyes I never will forget And I remember oh the first time that we kissed Remember thinkin to myself could it really be like this And we danced beneath a midnight moon and I took one look, one look at you And I fell in love before I knew And the night stood still and we moved so sweet, sweet and slow To the Rythym of the radio and then your arms reached out and held me close and the night stood still I still remember the song that they were playing then and if I close my eyes I swear that we're back there again Do you remember, Oh the way it used to be we were two hearts on the run so young and wild and free And we danced beneath a midnight moon.. And I remember oh the first time that we kissed remember thinking to myself could it really be like this And we danced beneath a midnight moon and I took one look, one look at you and I fell in love beofre i knew and the night stood stell And we moved so sweet, sweet and slow To the rythm of the radio and then your arms reached out and held me close And the night stood still And we danced beneath a midnight moon... |

it's just her and the band and the
clean-up man she's countin up her tips, she did alright, she says goodnight she drives home to a 3 room flat She's almost asleep before she turns out the light In her dreams she rides wild horeses And they carry her away on the wind and they never make a sound as they fly above the ground tonight she rides wild horses again She's fallin' in love a time or two somehow it alleays fell through but she's strong she carries on Her life ain't allways gonna be this way She knows she's gonna shne someday But for now she'll escape until the dawn In her dreams she rides wild horses... |

A breathless drive on a downtown street,
A motor-bike ride in the midday heat, The dust that hung from the desert skies, Run though we'd run it still burned our eyes, Oh yes we may walk on the wild wild side of life, And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side, And in the shadows of a promise you can take my hand, And show me a way to understand. So if you think you know how to love me, And you think you know what I need, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way, Yes if you think you know how to love me, And you think you can stand by me, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way. A reckless nite in a nameless town, Then we moved out of sight with a silent sound, A beach that wept with deserted waves, That's where we slept knowing we'd be safe, Now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me, But there's a lot I can learn and a lot that I've yet to see, You know you've got my life lying in your hands, It's up to you to make me understand. So if you think you know how to love me, And you think you know what I need, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way, Yes if you think you know how to love me, And you think you can stand by me, And if you really really want me to stay, You've got to lead the way. |

Of theft or purgery When through neglect you lose the one that you love It's not easy to see so, You should have shown some respect Should have made her feel like she was something special You should have shown some respect What you deserve is what you ger What you deserve is what you get No use in saying sorry Not much that you can do now No use in saying you'll be good to her She don't think you know how You should have shown some respect... |

this life has taken me so far and so many roads
I've had to choose Some win, some lose this life has been a gamble, I held my cards close to my chest I've played the part Somehow the mists of time have washed all over me the comfort of your arms is where I need to be (Cause) when you're lyin' in the arms of the one you love And you got your faith in God above And you feel like you're riding on the wind When you're lyin in the arms of the one you love and you know it's good fromm the stars above Ooh, that's love I get so tired of dreamin where is the fire that burned inside With all it's pride the flame became a candle so fragile with the autumn wind the need to win Somehow the sands of time weigh heavy over me Wrapped in your lovin arms is where I'd rather be (Cause) when you're lyin' in the arms.. |

Good love is hard to find Ad then you came my way You set my heart on fire I hold inside a burning flame It burns for you I've seen it all before, this time I know it's true Don't stop this love we started We'd end up broken hearted I never felt this way girl Can't find the words to say girl Don't stop this way we're feeling Good love that we believe in You send my whole reelin I won't stop my lovin for you Not fear of losing you No empty hearts in sight We'll never fool around Or hurt each other's pride For you my arms are open wide Come inside Two hearts that beat as one True love to count upon Don't stop this love we started... |

I called you on the phone tonight
Said you were doing fine I held my breath, said I'm alright but we red between the lines I asked you are you all alone you paused before you answered I swallowed hard, apologised You said it doesn't matter and then the rain came down the rain came down Like tears against my window pane They cry instead of me My heart is numb and cries no more for fading memories but still the rain comes down the rain comes down Just like tears from up above Falling down upon my world well I just can't comprehend How it all went wrong back then should have held on, should have been strong should have never let it end your photgraph's still standing here Feels like you're watching me But photograph's can't fill this space Or give the love I need Still the rain comes down The rain comes down |

Walking in the rain, I can't believe the way I'm feeling. Lonely once again, could it be that I'm still dreaming.I thought I heard you talking.But deep inside I know, this heart of mine has left me walking
Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, You left me broken hearted, before we got things started. Rain keeps falling and so it seems Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, Don't leave me broken hearted, I don't wanna be on that Boulevard of broken dreams. Burning in my heart, tells me now that it's all over. It's tearing me apart, feeling that I'm sinking over. I thought I heard you talking. But deep inside I know, this heart of mine has left me walking. Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, Don't leave me broken hearted, I don't wanna be on that Boulevard of broken dreams. Walking in the rain, can't believe what I am seeing. Is it you again, oh tell me baby I'm not dreaming.'Cause I can hear you talking, no more will I be walking Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, Down the Boulevard of broken dreams, You left me broken hearted, before we got things started. Rain keeps falling and so it seems Down the Boulevard of broken dreams Don't leave me broken hearted, I don't wanna be on that Boulevard of broken dreams. |

Sally called when she got the word
She said, 'I suppose you've heard about Alice.' Well, I rushed to the window and I looked outside Well, I could hardly believe my eyes As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice We grew up together Two kids in the park Carved our initials deep in the bark Me and Alice ... Now she walks through the door With her head held high Just for a moment I caught her eyes As a big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice Then Sally called back and asked how I felt She said, 'I know how to help get over Alice.' She said, 'Now Alice is gone but I'm still here. You know I've been waiting twenty-four years.' And the big limousine disappeared I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know 'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice |

Well I was out cruisin',
getting late and I was losin', When I saw you walking my way, So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want, But so do I and I ain't losing today. Well your hips were swinging and your jeans were clinging, You were driving me out of my mind, On a hot afternoon when there's nothing to do, Your not the sort of thing a fellow should find, So I pulled on over, you tossed your hair off your shoulder, As you turned and you looked my way, Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive, If I'd have said what I wanted to say, So being polite said what you doin' tonight, You said: "Just so happens I'm free", You got all the right curves and all the right words, And that's alright by me. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss, She said: "Hold on a minute or two". Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me, I said: "Baby what's troublin' you", She said: "I'm not sixteen, if you know what I mean", So we sat and we talked for a while, And when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist, And I must say she did it with style. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. All right... Well I was out cruisin', getting late and I was losin', When I saw you walking my way, So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want, But so do I and I ain't losing today. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away, You got me countin' my nights and days, Oh I am floatin' on the Milky Way, Oh Carol, nobody's done it before, Oh baby, you've opened the door, Oh Carol, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more. Oh Carol, baby, you can do it some more. |
