Didn't I hear you cry this mornin
didn't I feel you weep
Teardrops falling down on me
Like rivers in my sleep

In my dream of laughter
You came creeping with your tears
Telling me your sorrow
In the trace ends of your tears

That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don't cry to me
No don't cry to me

Didn't I hear your voice this morning
Didn't you call my name
I heard you whisper softly
But the words were never plain
And in your dream of darkness
I came shinin like a sun
Waiting for the laughter
But the last I never caught
(Repeat Chorus)

Didn't you feel alone this mornin
didn't you need a friend
And in your darkest hour
You came runnin back again

In my dream of laughter
You came creeping with your tears
Telling me your sorrow
In the trace end of your tears

That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody

you are the woman that I've always dreamed of

I knew it from the start

I saw your face and that's the

last I've seen of my heart


G D A
it's not so much the things you say to me

it's not the things you do
G D Em
it's how I feel each time you're close to me

that keeps me close to you, woh oh

it's not so much your pretty face I see

it's not the clothes you wear

it's more that special way you look at me

that always keeps me there, woh oh woh

it's hard tootell you all the love I'm feelin'
D A G
that's just not my style

you got a way of send my senses rellin'
D A Em A
every time you smile, woh

== 1 ==

I saw your face and that's the
last I've seen of my heart

of my heart
oh oh of my heart

When it all goes crazy and the thrill is gone
When the days get rainy and the nights get long
When you get that feelin you were born to lose
Starin' at your ceiling feelin' the blues

When there's so much trouble that you want to cry
When your love has crumbled and you don't know why
When your hopes are fading and they can't be found
Dreams have left you waiting friends let you down

Well just remember I love you
And it'll be all right
Just remember I love you
More than I can say just remember I love you
Maybe all your blues will fade away

When you need a lover and you're down so low
And you start to wonder but you never know
When it seems like sorrow is your only friend
Knowing that tomorrow you'll feel this way again

When the blues come cryin' at the break of dawn
When the rain keeps fallin' but the rainbow's gone
When you feel like cryin' but the tears won't come
Then your dreams are dyin' when you're on the run

Just remember I love you
And it'll be all right
Just remember I love you
More than I can say just remember I love you
Maybe all your blues will wash away

All the empty words I've spoken
All the promises I've broken
All the lovers and the loves I've pushed away
Now they all come back to haunt me
And the silence seems to taunt me
Cause they turn the tables round the other way

Livin' is easy with someone who cares
Someone to call you their own
Livin' is lovely with somebody there
Livin' ain't livin' alone
Ain't livin' alone

Did I turn my back so coldly
On the ones who tried to hold me
Saying only that I needed to be free
Now I know some dreams were shattered
Because I never thought it mattered
No I never thought of anything but me

Livin' is easy with someone to care
Someone to call you their own
Livin' is lovely with somebody there
Livin' ain't livin' alone
Ain't livin' alone

Have I taken all my chances
Will there be no more romances
Did I make my choice and never even know
But I'm much too young for endings
And so I have to keep pretending
That tomorrow is the day my love will show

Livin' is easy with someone to care
Someone to call you their own
Livin' is lovely with somebody there
Livin' ain't livin' alone
Ain't livin' alone

Livin' ain't livin'
No it ain't livin' alone
(Repeat to fade out)

Nevermind the reason, you may never know
Blame it on the seasons, they come and go
Blame it on the weather, something in the wind
Blame it on whatever, it might have been

You can say you know what happened
You can say that I was wrong
You can say most anything you want to
You can say... I just say so long, so long, so long

Say it doesn't matter, say it's all for fun
Nevermind the laughter, that doesn't come
Tell yourself you hate me, tell us all your side
Tell your friends I'm crazy, it'll save your pride

You can say you know what happened
You can say that I was wrong
You can say most anything you want to
You can say... I just say so long, so long, so long

So long, so long, so long... I just say so long

Call it fact or fiction, blame it all on me
Speak of your conviction in destiny
Say it's not important, you can swear it's all a game
Call it fame or fortune, but it's all the same

You can say you know what happened
You can say that I was wrong
You can say most anything you want to
You can say... I just say so long, so long
I just say so long

(You can say you know what happened)
You can say that I was wrong
You can say most anything you want to

You can say, you can say, you can say...
I just say so long
(You can say you know what happened)
I just say so long
(You can say you know what happened)
I been wrong before
(You can say you know what happened)
Does it really matter, oh
You can say you know what happened

Didn' I hear you cry this morning?
Didn' I feel you weep?
Teardrops flowing down on me
Like rivers in my sleep.
And in my dream of laughter
You came creeping with your fears
Tellin me your sorrow
In the tracings of your tears
That's a strange way to tell me you love me...
When your sorrow is all I can see.
If you just wanna cry to somebody,
Don't cry to me, no;
Don't cry to me - no.
Didn't I hear your voice this morning?
Didn you call my name?
I heard you whisper softly,
But the words were never plain.
And in your dream of darkness

But the laughter never comes.
That's a strange way to tell me you love me...
When your sorrow is all I can see.
If you just wanna cry to somebody,
Don't cry to me, no;
Don't cry to me - no.

Didn' you feel alone this morning?
Didn' you need a friend?
And in you darkest hour,
I came running back again.
That's a strange way to tell me you love me...
When your sorrow is all I can see.
If you just wanna cry to somebody,
Don't cry to me, no.
Don't cry to me.
Don't cry to me.
Don't cry to me!
Don't cry to me - yeah!

Oh, oh. Of my heart.

Last December I met a girl
She took a likin' to me
Said she loved me
But she didn't know the meaning of the word
She imagined love to be grand
Me holdin' her hand and
Whisperin' sweet things and
Cooin' softly like a song bird
Then one mornin' she came to me
With a tear in her eye and a
Sigh on her breath Lord she said
"Hon I'm heavy with child"
I said "god damn girl can't you see
That I'm breakin'my back
Just tryin' to keep my head above water
And it's turnin' me wild"
Cinderella can't you see
Don't want your company
You better leave this mornin' leave today
Take your love and your child away
no no no no~~
Rockin' chair on the front porch
I'm thinkin' about all the things that I did
As a young man
Now that I'm old
I remember her and the boy
Did he have all the toys and the joys
That a young man should have
Before he gets too old
Cinderella couldn't you see
Didn't want your company
Shoulda left that mornin' left that day
Took your love and your child away

Burnett

Make a decision, you can’t turn around
It’s complete, it’s finally killing you
You’re lackin’ precision, it bothers you so
You can’t make it without someone tellin’ you.

Do what you want, there is always a way
In this life you’ve been given
Don’t throw any of it away
Make her your lady and keep her alive
With your love and good feelin’
She’ll know if you’re tryin’.


There’s no execution, you’ve fallen behind
In a world where it’s all up ahead of you
You’ve seen the solution, you say you know why
There’s a tear in the eye you’ve been seeing through.

Do what you want, there is always a way
In this life you’ve been given
Don’t throw any of it away
Make her your lady and keep her alive
With your love and good feelin’
She’ll know if you’re tryin’.

It doesn't matter what I need
It doesn't matter if I cry
Don't matter if I bleed
You've been on a road
Don't know where it goes or where it leads

It doesn't matter what I want
It doesn't matter what I need
If you've made up your mind to go
I won't beg you to stay
You've been in a cage
Throw you to the wind you fly away

It doesn't matter what I want
It doesn't matter what I need
It doesn't matter if I cry
Doesn't matter if I bleed
Feel the sting of tears
Falling on this face you've loved for years

All the empty words I've spoken
All the promises I've broken
All the lovers and the loves I've pushed away
Now they all come back to haunt me
And the silence seems to taunt me
Cause they turn the tables round the other way

Livin' is easy with someone who cares
Someone to call you their own
Livin' is lovely with somebody there
Livin' ain't livin' alone

Last night it snowed for the first time
Everythings covered in white
How many months till the springtime
Its a long winters night
I have to go, I feel Im sinkin'
I just dont know
But I cant stop thinkin'
Mexico
Somewhere thats close to the ocean
Somewhere thats warm and alive
Somewhere to sleep in the open
With the sun in my eyes
I have to go, I feel Im sinkin'
I just dont know
But I cant stop thinkin'
Mexico
Winter wind blowin'
And Lord but they sting
Summer wind sing to me
Promise me everything
Blue skies and sunshine wherever I go
Sweet senoritas are waiting to love me I know
Mexico
Mexico
Mexico

Burnett

Everywhere, something there in my way
Knock it down, make no sound, except what I say
To someone, anyone close enough to hear
You better watch out, son, don’t get too near.

Never gonna change
Always remain the same, yeah
‘Cause there’s no way out
For the trouble in me, yeah.

You and I never try hard enough
To take a fling at this thing we’ve come to call love
Never works startin’ out, me and you
Always ends up me and no one to talk to.

Never gonna change
Always remain the same, yeah
‘Cause there’s no way out
For the trouble in me, yeah.

All strung up
I can’t do enough
For myself
For nothin’.

Andes-Roberts

You got me losing my mind
Walkin' the line between Heaven and Hell
You got me caught in between
A doubt and a dream but I know you so well

I hear that all is fair in love and war
Well, you and I have seen 'em both before
Something's happening that I can't ignore
I just can't seem to see no difference anymore

You got me spinning around
Draggin' me down then you love me again
I'm higher than high
Ready to fly then you say it's the end

I hear that all is fair in love and war
You and I have seen 'em both before
Something's happening that I can't ignore
I just can't seem to see no difference anymore

Spending most of my time
Trying to make up my mind what you're thinkin' about me
The moment I do
You're somebody new, it's a new mystery

I hear that all is fair in love and war
Well, you and I have seen 'em both before
Something's happening that I can't ignore
Oh, I can't seem to see no kind of difference anymore

Anymore .....

Burnett

Baby, I've been a lonely, lonely, lonely man
Left back fallen behind pushed aside
I realize that here's nothing
Farther away than you, ooh, ooh

Been awhile since you held me, held me, held me
Oh my, it's hard to forget but I'm taking bets
That you've been lonely too
The good it doesn't do, ooh, whoa

Ooh baby, I've been a lonely, lonely, lonely man
Left back fallen behind pushed aside
I realize that here's nothing
Farther away than you, ooh, whoa, ah

Roberts

Try to forget
Try to get it off your mind
You ain't seen nothin' yet you ain't had time
I know it's hard when love lets you down
But the pieces of your heart will pull you 'round

You don't have to talk about it
You don't have to cry
Baby, you can live without it
Think about tomorrow let your bygones go on by

And you'll be alright
When your laughter reappears
And you learn to count your blessings
Not your tears

Was it so bad that you feel you can't go on
Is money all you had to get along
But you did alright
Saw the world in your own time
Now you gotta taste the water with the wine

I don't wanna hear about it
I don't want to know
Buddy, you can live without it
Think about the future and the past will let you go

And you'll be alright
When your laughter reappears
And you learn to count your blessings
Not your tears

But I don't want to talk about it
And you don't want to know
Maybe I can live without it
I'm just getting strong enough
To let the memories go

Oh, but I'll be alright (alright)
When my laughter reappears
And I learn to count my blessings
Not my tears

I'll be alright

Burnett

Took a while to see the light
You had me so confused
Attitude has set me right
And I'm tired of being used

I never meant to dissatisfy, babe
You know I hate to lose

Don't know why I went along
Thought it would never end
Never could treat you wrong
Never really could pretend

Always out to disqualify, babe
Just trying to be your friend

Now you want to take me back and
Swear you're gonna cut some slack
And I'm trying to get you to take it back
Ooh, I'm gonna get you back

Took a while to see the light
You had me so confused
Attitude has set me right
And I'm tired of being used

I never meant to dissatisfy, babe
You know I hate to lose

Don't know why I went along
Thought it would never end
Never could treat you wrong
Never really could pretend

Always out to disqualify, babe
Just trying to be your friend

Now you want to take me back and
Swear you're gonna cut some slack
And I'm trying to get you to take it back
Oh I'm gonna get you back

Get you back baby, ooh
Get you back, yeah
Get you back baby, yeah
Get you back baby

Maybe you think I'm letting you go
Maybe it's not that way
Maybe I love you more than you know
Maybe you'll know someday
Maybe you think it's easy for me
Easy to say Goodbye
Maybe it hurts me more than you see
All I can do is cry

But love is not enought to make you mine
You need someone who's gonna be there all the time
Someone to treat you better
Someone to see you through
Someone who'd never say
Goodbye, I love you

(Chorus)
Goodbye, I love you
Goodbye, I love you
Goodbye, I love you

You need a man who's always around
Whenever you feel alone
You need a man who won't let you down
You need your man at home
You need the time to ltet yourself live
You haven't lived enough
You need the one thing I cannot give
You need the time to love

But love is not enough to make you mine
You need someone who's gonna be there all the time
Someone to treat you better
Someone to see you through
Someone who'd never say
Goodbye, I love you

(chorus)

Runnin' from the feelin'
Can't disguise
Findin' all your reasons
Were alibis
You can say your breezin'
It's not that way at all...
Youre headed for a fall

Lookin' for excuses
To hide your shame
But all your little loose ends
Don't change a thing
You're the one who loses
By runnin' from it all
Backs against the wall
Youre headed for a fall
For a fall

Starin' out your window
At the pourin' rain
Tryin' to hide your sorrow
In your sweet champagne
You can't lose your troubles
In the bubbles of your wine
Only makes them easier to find
Easier to find

All your wasted chances
How do they feel
All your sweet romances
Were never real
Cause you're the one who dances
Got to pay the piper's call
Backs against the wall
You're headed for a fall
You're headed for a fall
You're headed for a fall

For a fall
You're headed for a fall
You're headed for a fall
You're fallin', I see you fallin'
For a fall
You're fallin', I see you fallin'
You're headed for a fall...

Didn' I hear you cry this morning?
Didn' I feel you weep?
Teardrops flowing down on me
Like rivers in my sleep.
And in my dream of laughter
You came creeping with your fears
Tellin me your sorrow
In the tracings of your tears
That's a strange way to tell me you love me...
When your sorrow is all I can see.
If you just wanna cry to somebody,
Don't cry to me, no;
Don't cry to me - no.
Didn't I hear your voice this morning?
Didn you call my name?
I heard you whisper softly,
But the words were never plain.
And in your dream of darkness
I came shining like the sun.
Waiting for the laughter,
But the laughter never comes.
That's a strange way to tell me you love me...
When your sorrow is all I can see.
If you just wanna cry to somebody,
Don't cry to me, no;
Don't cry to me - no.

Didn' you feel alone this morning?
Didn' you need a friend?
And in you darkest hour,
I came running back again.
That's a strange way to tell me you love me...
When your sorrow is all I can see.
If you just wanna cry to somebody,
Don't cry to me, no.
Don't cry to me.
Don't cry to me.
Don't cry to me!
Don't cry to me - yeah!

(Chorus)
Sweet and sour
Sweet and sour
Sweet and sour
Sweet and sour

Sweet one I don't understand
When was it that we got this way
And it happened quickly
We had nothing left to say
Our romance gone sour
Long before the final hour

Don't ask why (you never did before)
How am I supposed to know (just face it)
Let's just say goodbye (I'd only hurt you more)
Let's just let it go

Sweet one now so far away
Already with some other man
And it happened quickly
As if to show me that you can
Life on the road won't change
But life at home is not the same

Don't ask why (you don't believe in me)
How am I supposed to know (I... don't believe in you)
Hard to say goodbye (it wasn't meant to be)
Hard to let it go (oh yeah)

(Chorus)

Honey we had something special
I wonder how we let it get away
All the sweet love I remember
Seem to taste so bitter-sweet today
And it took a long time
For the damage to accumulate
And it's such a thin line
Lyin' in between our love and hate

Chorus (repeated until fade)

Roberts

Sweet Ann, sweet Ann Jeanette
I just can't explain what I can't forget
Ever since the day that I met you
Something is different somehow

Oh, sweet Ann where are you now
I need you now

Something about you haunts me
Like an endless song
Whispering to me softly
In the lonely light of dawn
My head is in confusion
My heart is on my sleeve

Whoa sweet Ann, too sweet to leave
Too sweet to leave

Sweet Ann, sweet Ann Jeanette
Something about your laughter
Seemed to fill the air
Echoing like an answer
To my lonely, lonely, lonely prayer
There's no one else I could think of
Nobody else I'd choose

Whoa, sweet Ann, too sweet to lose
Too sweet to lose

Are you alone tonight
Sittin' at home tonight
In some far city

You could be here with me
We'd be making history
You're so pretty
Oh, what a pity

Whoa, Ann, sweet Ann Jeanette
I just can't explain what it is that I can't forget
But ever since the day that I met you
Something is different somehow

Whoa, sweet Ann come to me now
I need you now

Ooh, Ann, sweet Ann Jeanette
Ooh, sweet Ann, sweet Ann Jeanette
Sweet Ann Jeanette
Sweet Ann Jeanette

Roberts

There's a north wind blowing
And a ring around the moon
And I don't know where I'm goin'
But I know I'm gonna find out soon

The storm is growin'
And the sky is lookin' strange
Cold, cold wind keep blowin'
Whoa, that's a wind of change


Can't you hear the thunder
And the howling of the wind
Baby, don't it make you wonder
When the changes don't begin

I don't know why
But there's a tide turnin' the sea is dark
And there's a sky burnin'
I only know there's no returnin' to you

The storm is growin'
The sky is lookin' strange
Cold, cold wind keep blowin'
Whoa, that's the wind of change

Winds of change
Winds of change
Winds of change

Bobby Little lives on the other side of town,
He's got a picture of a girl in a gown,
He tells his daddy," someday you'll see, she will be with me."
His daddy tells him, " Son its just not right.
She's from money boy, she's not your kind.
Dont even call, shell just turn you down.
You'refrom the wrong side of town."

But every Sunday after sunday school
Dressed in his finest hopin' she never knew.
He'd walk her home then he'd say good-bye with tears in his eyes,
She lives uptown in a big white house.
He knows someday but he don't know how.
Lord its not what he prefers, he'll have to break the news to her.
He's from the wrong side of town.

He doesn't have money, no he doesn't have have fortune or fame.
And he doesn't understand why he has to live his life in shame.
But he knows that he loves her, can he make her see somehow,
It shouldn't matter if he's from the wrong side of town.

Next Sunday its the same routin, oh but this tiem hes wearin' his jeans
He thinks its teh last time he'll walk her home, then he'll be alone.
He takes her by the hand the truth he'll face
He knows in his heart she's gonna walk away, but she takes him by surprise.
She looks into his eyes and says " Your from the wrong side of town."

Well I don't need money, no I don't need fortune or fame,
And I dont know why you have to live your life feeling ashamed.
Dont you know that I love you, well I hope you do by now,
It doesn't matter if your from the wrong side of town
No it doesn't matter if your from the wrong side of town

Oh Bobby Little lives on the other side of town,
She stands beside him in her wedding gown

Stevie, don't you let her go
Don't you have the sense to know
The love your leavin'
If you let her walk away
Loneliness is gonna take away your meanin'

Don't be scared of speakin' your mind
Everyone gets lonely sometime
Even Steven, even Steven, even Steven, even Steven, even Steven

Stevie, what is wrong with you
Treatin' her the way you do
With no good reason

Stevie, won't you ever learn
What you get is what you earn
An' now she's leavin'

Loved you more than words could explain
Don't be scared to love her the same
Even Steven, even Steven, even Steven, even Steven, even Steven

I get the feelin' maybe Stevie might be
Dreamin' it all away
Stevie says he doesn't care
If she's gone or if she's there

I don't believe him
If he doesn't know he's wrong
He'll find out before too long
That empty feelin'
No one sees the things that you hide
Lookin' good but losin' inside
Even Steven, even Steven, even Steven, even Steven, even Steven

Tell me you love me, say that you do
Take my heart and steal away
Place you above me, compensate you every way
Treat me in the same old way

Go on and leave me, get up and go
Hurt me like you never could
The way you deceived me always left you lookin' good
Little Miss Misunderstood

You been stealin', lyin'
Dealin' malice every day
You been feelin', tryin'
Hard to make your getaway

Tell me you love me make me believe
Everything you'll ever say
Take my tomorrow, give me back my yesterday
Treat me in the same old way

You been stealin', lyin'
Dealin' malice every day
You been feelin', tryin'
Hard to make your getaway

You been stealin', lyin'
Dealin' malice every day
You been feelin', tryin', baby
Hard to make your getaway

You been stealin'
Stealin', stealin', stealin'

When you're tired of runnin' to nowhere
And you're weary of people who don't care
Head on home

Home awaits you
To return to, yeah

When the tears keep coming too often
And there's no more smile to get off on
Head on home

Home awaits you
To return to, yeah

Tellin' your lies to young sisters and brothers
And you know there's no love that can match
Your own mother's at home

Home awaits you
To return to, yeah

When it all goes crazy and the thrill is gone
When the days get rainy and the nights get long
When you get that feelin you were born to lose
Starin' at your ceiling feelin' the blues

When there's so much trouble that you want to cry
When your love has crumbled and you don't know why
When your hopes are fading and they can't be found
Dreams have left you waiting friends let you down

Well just remember I love you
And it'll be all right
Just remember I love you
More than I can say just remember I love you
Maybe all your blues will fade away

When you need a lover and you're down so low
And you start to wonder but you never know
When it seems like sorrow is your only friend
Knowing that tomorrow you'll feel this way again

When the blues come cryin' at the break of dawn
When the rain keeps fallin' but the rainbow's gone
When you feel like cryin' but the tears won't come
Then your dreams are dyin' when you're on the run

Just remember I love you
And it'll be all right
Just remember I love you
More than I can say just remember I love you
Maybe all your blues will wash away

What if everything was different
Never the same way twice
What would make a man go stiff rent
And disregard the price - yeah
Just think...
What if nothin' changed for the better
But never got no worse
Conversation beats a letter
A blessing beats a curse - yeah

What about the situation
In which it gets revealed
The secrets to negotiation
Of an emotional deal
Just think...

In a moment of madness
I let you say goodbye
You never miss your water
Till the well runs dry

Now this feeling of sadness
Has made me change my mind
If I could do it over
I'd try to do you right this time

[Chorus]
Even a fool like me should know
Only a fool would let you go
I was waiting for someone
To take the place of you
And bring me back the feeling

Used to come so easy with you
In the middle of waiting
The truth cam rushing in
That I could wait forever
And never get the feeling again

[Chorus]

If I'd only known better
The things I could not see
Didn't know I loved you
Didn't think it mattered to me

So I sit and remember
The love I threw away
My pride was more important
Than the words that I needed to say

[Chorus]

Don't go
Please don't go

Well, I'm no man of letters
Feel like no man at all
Well I had one to offer
You just took him that's all

That you could do for another man
Who had somethin' to give
Take what the boy's got
Leave him dyin' to live

With his piece of paper
Peace of mind
I can piece together
What you left behind
Remember the place
That you left me that time
Well I'm callin' from there

Didn't cry, didn't die
I don't know why I believed your lie
That I heard before in the rules of the game
You can lose just the same

Well I'm still feelin' better
And I hope that it don't take too long
I heard stories about men
Who just leave and stay gone

But there's too much to live with
And there's very little wrong
Bein' satisfied, singin' on
With one more song

With my piece of paper
Peace of mind
If I can piece together
What you left behind
Remember the place
That you left me that time
Well I'm callin' from there
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah

Nevermind the reason, you may never know
Blame it on the seasons, they come and go
Blame it on the weather, something in the wind
Blame it on whatever, it might have been

You can say you know what happened
You can say that I was wrong
You can say most anything you want to
You can say... I just say so long, so long, so long

Say it doesn't matter, say it's all for fun
Nevermind the laughter, that doesn't come
Tell yourself you hate me, tell us all your side
Tell your friends I'm crazy, it'll save your pride

You can say you know what happened
You can say that I was wrong
You can say most anything you want to
You can say... I just say so long, so long, so long

So long, so long, so long... I just say so long

Call it fact or fiction, blame it all on me
Speak of your conviction in destiny
Say it's not important, you can swear it's all a game
Call it fame or fortune, but it's all the same

You can say you know what happened
You can say that I was wrong
You can say most anything you want to
You can say... I just say so long, so long
I just say so long

(You can say you know what happened)
You can say that I was wrong
You can say most anything you want to

You can say, you can say, you can say...
I just say so long
(You can say you know what happened)
I just say so long
(You can say you know what happened)
I been wrong before
(You can say you know what happened)
Does it really matter, oh
You can say you know what happened

Well it's the things I do
It's the way I see
Ain't nothin' done for you
Ain't nothin' wrong with me
Keepin' it all alive

You're always there to hold on to
Baby, I'm sold on you

I've written worried songs
I've been hurried along
Takin' all the wrong ways home
There's always an encouraged tone
Keepin' it clear of jive

You're always there to hold on to
Baby, I'm sold on you

What does it mean to me, it's like a dream to me
What does it seem to be, it could be anything
Try to forget the pain
What is it gonna bring
Could it be anything wrong

I been sold on you
An' nothin' been told on you
You're always there to hold on to
Baby, I'm sold on you

I been sold on you
Baby, I'm sold on you

Someday soon-we're gonna quit this crazy runaround
Pack our bags and steal away
Someday soon-we're gonna find a place and settle down
I'll be coming home someday
I'll be there to kiss you in the morning
I'll be by your side each afternoon
Late at night, our love, like rivers pouring
-Loving you-someday soon
Someday soon-we're gonna leave this foolish fantasy
Find the strength to let it go
Someday soon, you're gonna see how much you mean to me
Even more than you could know
Now I can see you can't hang on forever
Even tho' you love me like you do
-Love is all that's keeping us together
I love you-Someday soon

How've you been, say it's me again
It's been a long, long time
There's so much to say where do I begin?
I'll sit down and sing you a line
I'm hoping everything is fine

You've got me thinking of you, always
Every day, every night
And when I'm thinkin' of you, always
I want you more than life

Time is seasoned with endless love
Memories never fade
All the distance makes it hard to live
But I dream about us everyday
Oh, listen here, I've just gotta say

You've got me thinking of you, always
Every day, every night
And when I'm thinkin' of you, always
I want you more than life

I see your face every night when I'm dreamin'
I touch your smile far away
Girl, without you my life has ended
But I'm hangin' on, sendin' all my love
(Sendin' all my love)

You've got me thinking of you, always
Every day, every night
And when I'm thinkin' of you, always
I want you more than life

You've got me thinking of you, always
Every day, every night
And when I'm thinkin' of you, always
I want you more than life

You've got me thinking of you, always
Every day, every night
And when I'm thinkin' of you, always
I want you more than life

You've got me thinking of you, always
Every day, every night
And when I'm thinkin' of you, always
I want you more than life

You've got me thinking of you, always

Slip out at night
Melt into the alleyway
Your mind's not right
Not until the next day

Take care
Watch what you're doin'
Be careful that you see
Take care
Stay out of trouble
There's evil out there that you can't see

The break of dawn

What it really wants
Is an unaccompanied girl
He loves his victim hunts
It fills his secret world

Take care
Watch what you're doin'
Be careful that you see
Take care
Stay out of trouble
There's danger out there that you won't see (you won't see)

The break of dawn
The break of dawn
You won't see

He goes home tired
Nobody came his way
But still gets wired
With thoughts of yesterday, yeah

Take care
Watch what you're doin'
Be careful that you see
Take care
Stay out of trouble
There's evil out there that you can't see

You won't see the break of dawn
You won't see the break of dawn
You won't see the break of dawn

I've been chasing you for a long time
Layin' out my best lines
But you just run away

There you are, starin' at me from a distance
So why all the resistance
What is the game you play

Why, tell me why
Should there be this escapade
Why make me cry
When you just slip away

Runaway love
What ya feelin' inside
Runaway love
And why do you deny that it could be love
Ooh, my runaway love

Runaway love
You won't let me near
Runaway love
And what is it you fear about fallin' in love
Ooh, my runaway love

Why is it so hard to get close to you
What ya tryin' to put me through
I'm dyin' for your touch

Seems to me you've been holdin' out too long
Your whole outlook has grown
'Cause you're alone too much

Runaway love
What ya feelin' inside
Runaway love
And why do you deny that it could be love
Ooh, my runaway love

Runaway love
You won't let me near
Runaway love
And what is it you fear about fallin' in love
Ooh, my runaway love

Runaway love
Runaway love

Why tell me why
Should there be this escapade
Why make me cry
When you just slip away

Runaway love
What ya feelin' inside
Runaway love
And why do you deny that it could be love
Ooh, my runaway love

Runaway love
She won't let me near
Runaway love
And what is it you fear about fallin' in love
Ooh, my runaway love

Runaway love
Runaway love
Runaway love
