It's Alright
I want you in my arms tonight You know you whet my appetite It might be wrong for us to care And maybe something's in the air But if the world is unaware It's alright Please say it's alright You'll be mine tonight It's going to be alright I won't care if we fall in love I'll be happy with the memory of The thought of just one night of bliss We can't give up a chance like this So just go on and whisper it's It's alright Please say it's alright You'll be mine tonight It's going to be alright I want you in my arms tonight You know you set my heart alight It can't be like this everyday And soon you'll be so far away So now I want to hear you say It's alright Please say it's alright You'll be mine tonight It's going to be alright Don't want to make a main feature with you Ah but you know there's a time and a place You can't resist it when you're feeling it too I can tell by the smile on your face We both know that it will be OK So don't you let this moment slip away Don't have a problem when it's all in the mind Yes but we can make it very real this time
Not The Moment
I can't believe what you're saying about me I can't believe it's true You know you never should doubt me And take this attitude You say there's something between us That something just ain't right But every time I ask you to tell me why You say it's not the moment You say it's not the moment You say you're tired of walking on eggshells And falling in between That I'm two-timing you but you know quite well That's just not my scene And now my friends are starting to call me They say there's something wrong Ah, but you just continue to stall me You say it's not the moment You say it's not the moment Yeah we need to talk this through I do depend on you So let it out and try to clear the air I've got nothing I should hide I'm burning up inside But you just act like you don't even care Well I know sometimes it ain't easy I know you're feeling bad But you know it's the wrong time to tease me It just gets me mad I'm going to find out sooner or later Just what you're trying to say So when I ask you now for just one more time Don't say it's not the moment Don't say it's not the moment Yeah we need to talk this through I do depend on you So let it out and try to clear the air I've got nothing I should hide I'm burning up inside But you just act like you don't even care Told you I would be your friend Be there to the very end And then you had to let me down And go spreading dirty words around
It Doesn't Matter
Hey, how's your conscience lately You tried so hard to please me And now you seem so uneasy You say that you've had enough and you're out of love It hit me like a hurricane It hit me like a speeding train I try to climb a mountain range And fall down on the ground again I thought that it would be OK But you had other cards to play Just like a shot from a gun I got hurt, I got stunned That's how it hit me I just want to know why Do you do this to me? And where, is your sense of reason? So how, could you fool me so long? And now, watch my tenderness turn to emptiness It hit me like a hurricane It hit me like a speeding train I try to climb a mountain range And fall down on the ground again I thought that it would be OK But you had other cards to play Just like a shot from a gun I got hurt, I got stunned It doesn't matter what I do It doesn't matter much to you It doesn't matter what I do It's over now, we're through You got me feeling excited You had me set and ignited But now I'm feeling so down low Like some down-trodden hobo It doesn't matter what I do It doesn't matter much to you It doesn't matter what I do It's over now, we're through You had me chasing illusions You got me lost in confusion And I'm so tired of losin' I've got to stop now and not get involved with you again It doesn't matter what I do It doesn't matter much to you It doesn't matter what I do It doesn't matter much to you ...
Where I Stand
Well I'm a wreck and I'm a tangle And though I try to find an angle Can't find my way around you No matter what I do And nothing's right since you left me My life was full but now it's empty Can't find my way around you You say, that you can't see a way That I can be a part of you It doesn't matter what I do Tried every trick that I could think of But you don't seem to think it's true love You take no notice of me Oh my, chance has passed me by See a way to change your mind Just let me know and I'll keep trying All my confidence is gone I was pretty sure that you would come along Thought that I would be your man But now I never know just where I stand With you I used to be the kind of guy Who could be in your arms before you'd realize Now the tables have been turned If youplay with fire you know you sure get burned Now all my confidence is gone I was pretty sure that you would come along Thought that I would be your man But now I never know just where I stand With you Where I stand with you Just where I stand, where I stand Where I stand with you I never know, you had to go Where I stand with you You broke my heart It came apart Where do I stand with you? Where I stand Where I stand Where I stand with you ...
Free As A Bird
When a spirit is broken Why go on When there's nothing to say And a love just a token It was strong Now it's fading away Ah but I'm free as a bird As I walk right out that door You have my word I won't bother you no more Yes I'm doing alright As I face the lonely night And our love it was over Long ago But we just didn't say And the years they have fallen One by one How they drifted away But now I'm free as a bird As I walk out that door You have my word I won't bother you no more Yes I'm feeling OK As I face the brand new day As I face the brand new day You know I'm free as a bird As I walk right out that door You have my word I won't bother you no more Yes I'm doing alright As I face the lonely night As I face the lonely night No more sorrows will I find I've got tomorrow on my side No more teardrops will I cry Left my teardrops way behind No more sorrows will I find I've got tomorrow on my side No more teardrops will I cry Left my teardrops way behind No more heartaches bother me Don't wear my heartaches on my sleeve It's gonna be a brand new story What's the use of former glory It's better not to do if you can't do right It's time to get to celebrating After all the years of waiting I'm gonna have a ball if it takes all night
I'm Beggin' You
I'm beggin' you, let's start anew All my fears were wrong I was too headstrong Now I'm missing you It's been too long, and still you're gone If you ever cared About the life we shared Please let me know I think about you lately More than you will ever know And if you could just forgive me Well you know I'd love you so We had a love, to be proud of But what was once a thrill Then became a chill And so very cold I'm beggin' you, let's start anew Give it one more chance It's the final dance Before you go away I've got something more to say I think about you lately More than I could ever say And if you could just forgive me Well you know we'll find away You know we'll find away How do you care for me now baby You know I never meant no harm Can't you see it's just a false alarm You know I'm with you all the way It's why I'm beggin' you to stay How can I make you change your mind I wanna make it right this time You know I'll love you all the way That's why I'm beggin' you to stay You've got to listen to my plea I'm down here on my bended knees Baby won't you please come home Can't stand to be so all alone
You Never Can Tell With Friends
Yes I've been waiting, but you just don't come around You've been dropping in on, everyone all over town Say what you like, but you just don't know your place And everywhere we go, people seem to know your face You've been checkin' out the scene, every single night Never knowing where you've been, you say it's alright I placed all my faith in you, and you let me down Everything I say is true, but you don't hear a sound Yeh you ought to be ashamed, but you don't accept the blame They said it was too late, for your love They said it was too late, you're gonna go They said I was too late, for your love They said I was too late, you're gonna go You never can tell with friends You never can tell with You never can tell with You never can tell with friends You never can tell with You never can tell with Yes every now and then, my mind turns things around And I believe it's true, that our love can still be found Just one thing I care about, from sea to shinging sea And you know that's the love you give, the love you give to me You've been checkin' out the scene, every single night Never knowing where you've been, you say it's alright I placed all my faith in you, then you let me down Everything I say is true, but you don't hear a sound Yeh you ought to be ashamed, but you don't accept the blame They said it was too late, for your love They said it was too late, you're gonna go They said I was too late, for your love They said It was too late, you're gonna go You never can tell with friends You never can tell with You never can tell with You never can tell with friends You never can tell with You never can tell with You never can tell with friends You never can tell with You never can tell with You never can tell with friends You never can tell with You never can tell with ...
Thing For You
Oh Lordy I got to feelin' so cold You know the mornin' it ain't too good for my soul I've been workin' in some faraway place I got to thinkin' about your sweet smilin' face I got a thing for you If you want me to I'm gonna change all my ways I'm gonna get off the road I'm gonna lighten my load I got a thing for you Can you feel it too Think I better slow down All my wandering's done I found my place in the sun Ah woman, why d'you treat me this way You don't believe a single word that I say But it's the truth now, you know I'll be home for good So what's with you now, I thought that you understood I got a thing for you If you want me to Gonna change all my ways Gonna get off the road I'm gonna lighten my load There ain't a woman alive could ever come close to you I won't know how to survive, so don't you fade from my view You say I'm putting you on and soon I'll be on my way Well woman you're wrong and that is all I can say All I can say I got a thing for you If you want me to I'm gonna change all my ways I'm gonna get off the road I'm gonna lighten my load I got a thing for you Can you feel it too I Think I better slow down All my wandering's done I found my place in the sun I got a thing for you If you want me to ...
An Awful Thing To Waste
You say that you could do with a break Had about all you can take You need to find somewhere you can run to Somewhere a long way from here Somewhere where the skies are all clear Somewhere you can think all your thoughts through It took a long time to make me understand You gotta meet life and shake it by the hand You gotta use your emotion You talk a nice line to put your mind at ease You want to sit back and count your memories But that's no solution I don't want to harp about it But what you gonna do about it? Look at how you're set in your ways You used to be so willing to face Any kind of problem before you Life is not as long as you think Open up your mind and you'll see Don't destroy yourself I implore you You've got a fine wife, a perfect family You had it all planned to live so carefully But where does it get you They say the mind is an awful thing to waste And that's a fact that you must come to face What more can I tell you? I don't want to harp about it But what you gonna do about it? You have everything you that need You only have to try to succeed And realize it's all waiting for you Living life this way is a bust If you have to suffer you must Don't you know we want to applaud you
