Tell her I'll be waiting In the usual place With the tired and weary There's no escape To need a woman You've got to know How the strong get weak And the rich get poor You're running with me Don't touch the ground We're restless hearted Not the chained and bound The sky is burning A sea of flame Though your world is changing I will be the same The storm is breaking Or so it seems We're too young to reason Too grown up to dream Now spring is turning Your face to mine I can hear your laughter I can see your smile No I can't escape I'm a slave to love
In a little cafe just the other side of the border She was just sitting there givin' me looks that made my mouth water So I started walking her way She belonged to that man, Jose And I knew, yes I knew I should leave When I heard her say, yeah
Come a little bit closer You're my kind of man So big and so strong Come a little bit closer I'm all alone And the night is so long
So we started to dance In my arms, she felt so inviting That I just couldn't resist Just one little kiss so exciting Then I heard the guitar player say "Vamoose, Jose's on his way" Then I knew, yes I knew I should run But then I heard her say, yeah
Come a little bit closer You're my kind of man So big and so strong Come a little bit closer I'm all alone And the night is so long
Then the music stopped When I looked the cafe was empty Then I heard Jose say "Man you know you're in trouble plenty" So I dropped my drink from my hand And through the window I ran And as I rode away I could hear her say to Jose, yeah
Come a little bit closer You're my kind of man So big and so strong Come a little bit closer I'm all alone And the night is so long
La la-la-la la-la La la-la-la la-la Ho ho la-la La la la-la
Try stealing a guitar that's strung with barbed wire Ripping them strings like your fingers' on fire Stand there confessing in a mohair suit Like a steamroller comin' and they call it the blues.

She'll never hurt me, she'll never leave me She won't desert me 'cause I know that she loves me so.
Forever is a long long time And when she tells me she'll be mine forever, forever I know that when tomorrow comes She will be my only one forever, forever.
She's mine, she will always be mine She's mine and she'll always be with me.
My forever came today (my forever) My forever came today (my forever, my forever) My forever came today (my forever, my forever) My forever came today.
I left a note on your pillow With a hand print on your window pane Calling you just to hear your voice I knew then I didn't have a choice Here I am, baby, on the downside of town.
Stuck here such a long long time Hanging on the telephone line Please, answer now so I can say That I will never ever hurt you again Here I am, baby, on the downside of town.
Packed my things and I took my guns Crawled out the window and I started to run Why did I leave ? Did you not want me around ? She hurts me still since I cut her down, since I cut her down.
Here I am, baby, on the downside of town.
Then I heard that voice that I love so Why I left I just don't know Don't hang up on me, give me one more chance I need to tell you that I love you again Here I am, baby, on the downside of town On the downside of town Here I am, baby, on the downside of town On the downside of town.
Right there, right then, I could have cried Right there, right then, I surely could have died Right there, right then, oh how I cried Yes, I cried and I cried and I cried all night through, Lord, over you.
Now look at what you've done, we've come so far and lost Maybe I loved you too much, how come I feel so all alone Did it make you feel that good to hurt me like you did ? Maybe you didn't know I died with every word you said.
Right there, right then, I could have cried Right there, right then, I surely could have died Now right there, right then, oh how I cried Yes, I cried and I cried and I cried all night through over you.

Late at night I dream of you all through my sleep I feel your spirit everywhere, when will you let me be ? All the things I did for you they only gave me pain Just a needle and a spoon only brought me shame.
How long has it been now since I let you go ? Sweet as the very first kiss you took my passion and my soul I should have known you were deadly, that was my first mistake The first time I felt you seems like I've lost count of days.
Chieva, Chieva, Chieva Chieva, Chieva, Chieva Chieva, Chieva, what you do ……….
You took me down, you took me down from my very first taste All that was mine all through this time, your memory I can't erase.
I know you can still be found in a lowdown east side place Some dark night, when you walk in, I'll get up and I'll move away The money burns a hole in my pocket while you burn a hole in me I get down as if to pray, I fall down to my knees crying ..

No there's no such pain As love
You won't see a teardrop fall Or the expression while my heart breaks I'll just turn around in the crowd To see you everyplace No I won't give my heart away Again to anyone Well it's sad but true I've learned from you There's no such pain As love
