1. CALL ME

Call me

When your lonely

Call me

I will be free



If you need love

Or just a friend

Call me for company



Last time

You were lonely

You came straight to me



I made you laugh

I gave you my love

I gave you sympathy



Tried to tell myself

I was more than just stuck on you

When I finally pulled you through

I'd have what you were looking for



Now I tried to think

Of what I said

And what I have or haven`t done

I know when you needed me

I was there

I was there



So oh call me

Oh Oh Oh call me

Now you know if you need me

I'll be there

I'll be there

So call me



If you need love

Or just a friend

Call me for company

Call me

Oh Oh Oh call me

Now you know if you need me

I'll be there

I'll be there



So sometimes when your lonely

Call on me

Call me I will be free

Call on me

Sometimes when your lonely

Call on me

Call me I will be free

Call on me



Sometimes when your lonely

Call on me .....

2. JUST WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST

You packed in the morning and 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

But 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)

[Instrumental Interlude]

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 love you more than I
Loved you before and now
Where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most
Oh, yeah
You left me
Just when I needed you most

You left me
Just when I needed you most

3. SUZY


SUZI

[VERSE 1]
Well she never sees it comin'
She never sees it goin'
She lacks a certain point of view
But something always pulls her through
What she tries

[VERSE 2]

It's a weapon deep inside
No mortal could have contrived
Suzi's found a weapon
And I don't even think she tried

Well you dress her up with passion
She wears you like a fashion
That changes with the style of clothes
But passion sticks inside your throat
Like a knife

You thought you'd found the perfect rose
You cut the stem but it still grows
Suzi's found a weapon
And I don't even think she knows

[CHORUS]
So if she catches your eye
God help you
You'll have to run and die
Not to love her

Suzi found a weapon
And I don't even think she knows

[BRIDGE]

[Repeat VERSE 1]

[Repeat VERSE 2]

[Repeat CHORUS]

Yeah Suzi found a weapon
And I don't even think she tried
Yeah Suzi found a weapon
And I don't even think she tried
Hmmm, Suzi found a weapon
And I don't even think she tried

DAN HILL: YOU MAKE ME WANT TO BE [15]





Hill was born in Toronto, the son of social scientist and public servant Daniel G. Hill, and brother of the author Lawrence Hill. He studied guitar in his teens, leaving high school at 17 to work as songwriter for RCA. At one point he was working for the Ontario provincial government, delivering office supplies, while performing at the Riverboat at night. In 1975, he released his first album, Dan Hill, which produced a Canadian hit single, "You Make Me Want to Be".

In 1977 Hill recorded the ballad "Sometimes When We Touch". He also wrote the lyrics and was assisted in the music by Barry Mann for the album from the same year, Longer Fuse, and it was released as a single. It was Hill's biggest hit, peaking at #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and leading to Hill's appearances on The Merv Griffin Show and The Mike Douglas Show. Tina Turner covered the song in 1978 on her album Rough.

Another one of his hit songs was "It's a Long Road", which he recorded for the 1982 action movie First Blood. In 1985, he was one of the many Canadian performers to appear on the benefit single "Tears Are Not Enough" by Northern Lights. Although he had many hits in his native Canada, further singles did not fare as well in the United States, where, after "Let the Song Last Forever" in late 1978, he went almost a decade without cracking any of Billboard's singles charts.

In 1987, Hill returned to the Billboard Hot 100 with the Top 40 hit "Can't We Try", a duet with the then-unknown Vonda Shepard (her last name was incorrectly spelled "Sheppard" on the label). It peaked at #6 on the Hot 100. He also had a near Top 40 hit with "Never Thought (That I Could Love)". Both records reached #2 on the Adult Contemporary chart and set the stage for Hill to have three more top 10 U.S. AC hits through 1991's "I Fall All Over Again," though he did not make the Hot 100 again after "Never Thought (That I Could Love)."

A road trip to a Hill concert was the subject of the 1994 Canadian comedy film, South of Wawa.

In 2007 he toured with the CBC Radio program The Vinyl Cafe.

He had two major hits with his songs, "Sometimes When We Touch" and "Can't We Try," a duet with Vonda Shepa

1. SOMETIMES WHEN WE TOUCH


[Songwriters: Barry Mann; Dan ]



You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do
I'm only just beginnin' to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all its strategy leaves me battlin' with my pride
But through the insecurity some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer, still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter, still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much

And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

At times I'd like to break you and drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through and hold you endlessly

At times I understand you and I know how hard you've tried
And I've watch while love commands you and I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters, still searchin' for a friend
A brother or a sister but then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

2. HOLD ME


If I could make sweet love to you all through the night
All the problems of my world would slowly fade away
How can I be sure that everything you say
Isn’t just another line designed to steal my heart away

Just let me hold you now, I wanna feel you in my arms
Let me unfold you now, endlessly
Just let me hold you now, friend to friend, lover to lover
Hold me now

I feel your touch and it stirs me deep inside
Still I need to know there’s more than passion in your eyes
Oh girl, you are much more than something physical, can’t you see
You don’t have to stay the night, baby, tell me what you want from me

Oh, just let me hold you now, I wanna feel you in my arms
Let me unfold you now, endlessly
Just let me hold you now, friend to friend, lover to lover
Hold me now

If we make love, I wanna lose myself to you
Oh, rise to high above, I don’t wanna be alone tonight
No, I just want you to

Hold me now, I wanna feel you in my arms
Let me unfold you now, baby hold me forever
Just hold me now, never let me go
Let me unfold you now, endlessly
Just let me hold you now, friend to friend, lover to lover
Hold me, don’t ever let me go
Hold me now

3. I MISS YOU STILL



Do you remember when
The world seemed oh so young
We were so self-assured
No-one could ever come between us

Remember stepping out
Behind the high school, cutting class
Making love beneath the stars
You were my Venus

Where does all the time go, look at us now
Caught up in our different worlds
Though we’ve gone our separate ways I’ve found

I miss you still
It’s the middle of the night and I call on you
Cos I can’t hold back what I feel inside
I miss you still
You’re a piece of my heart that I can’t let go
Though it tears me apart, you should know
That I miss you still

Do you remember when
You said I’d always be your man
How you’d reach out for my hand
Your fingers trembling

How your Daddy hated me
How we drove him to distraction
That was part of the attraction
Way back when, girl

Where did the years go, it seems like yesterday

Oh God, this world seems different now
Baby some things, some things never change

I miss you still
It’s the middle of the night and I call on you
Cos I can’t hold back what I feel inside
I miss you still
Cos you’re a piece of my heart that I can’t let go
Though it tears me apart, you should know
That I miss you still

Baby, I’m a sentimental fool
Who’s out of control
I just close my eyes
Never reaching you, get into my soul

I miss you still
It’s the middle of the night and I call on you
Cos I can’t hold back what I feel inside
I miss you still
You’re a piece of my heart that I can’t let go
Though it tears me apart, you should know
That I miss you still
After all these years
I’m singing through these tears
If memories could kill
You know I miss you, I miss you still

video



4. YOU ARE WHERE I BELONG


Didn’t mean to make you cry
I can say such stupid things sometimes
Right or wrong, you are where I belong

When last night you said goodbye
I felt something deep inside me die, oh
Right or wrong, you are where I belong

This world can be so lonely
When you’re not near
You are the only reason
Girl, that I’m still here, oh

Love can hurt so bad, they say
Wouldn’t have it any other way, oh

Right or wrong, you are where I belong

Right or wrong, you are where I belong

This world can be so lonely
Girl, when you’re not near, oh
You are the only reason
The only reason I’m still here, oh

Didn’t mean to make you cry
Let me see those sad eyes shining
Right or wrong, you are where I belong
Oh that’s forever
Right or wrong, you are where I belong

5. MEMORIES


Memories of when I was a little boy, four years old,
Waiting for my daddy to come home,
And now I look into the eyes of my own son,
Wondering what he's thinking of,
Waiting at the window when I come home.

Watch his eyes fill up with joy and wonder.
He reaches out his tiny hand;
I feel the bond 'tween boy and man.
Memories of my mom cryin',
my daddy gone for weeks at a time,
Not knowing how to comfort her,
Facin' my pillow, pretendin' not to hear.

Now I write this letter to my little boy.
I'm far away, not knowing really what to say
Except, "I'm sorry, oh so sorry."
I don't want to make these same
Mistakes my daddy made with me.

Still his voice rolls off my tongue
When I say, "Boy, protect your mom."
Memories of my wife cryin' on the phone
Wonderin' when I'm coming home.

My voice sounds detached and cold,
Reminds me of someone that I knew;
He had a funny attitude
When I needed him to be
All the things only a daddy could be to me.
And I don't want to make the same
Mistakes my daddy made with me.
Still his voice rolls off my tongue
When I say, "Not now, I'm busy son."
Memories of lying in bed with my wife and son,
Overwhelmed by so much love,
Tryin' to explain how a man can cry
Yet still be happy,
Thinking of all the dumb mistakes I've made.
Now I understand my father's pain;
He did the best with what he knew.
I love you daddy.
I watched my son fall asleep
And wonder what he'll think of me
When years from now he sees his son
Reachin' out his tiny hands for love.

6. I WANNA MAKE LOVE TO YOU

I see you when you think no one sees.
I feel you (so close) every time you breathe.
I need you more than I needed anyone, it's true.
I wanna make love to you.
Walking down some crowded street,
Your laughter (so pure) sounds like a symphony.
Desire sweeps through me tryin' to stay cool, it's true.
I wanna make love to you. Wanna make love to you.
And it feels like we've waited so long
Just to see what we really feel.
Girl, with you by my side,
My world comes alive.
You whisper (so soft) something I can't repeat.
Your skin brushes close, touches mine so innocently.
The sun burns hot, need some relief, it's true.
I wanna make love to you (you're so close).
Wanna make love to you (wanna be a part of you).
And it feels like I've waited a lifetime

Just to tell you what's on my mind.
It's so hard to reveal
All the passion I feel.
I wanna make love to you.
(I just wanna make love, oh.)
Wanna make love to you.
(I just wanna make love to you.)
Wanna make love to you.
( I just wanna make love.)
(Let me hold you till you're a part of me.)
I wanna make love to you.
(I just wanna make love.)
(till you're in ecstasy)
Wanna make love to you.
(I just wanna make love to you.)
(You're eyes are so soft and sweet.)
Wanna make love to you.
( I just wanna make love.)
(Let me hold you till you're a part of me.)
I wanna make love to you.
(I just wanna make love.)
Wanna make love to you.
(I just wanna make love to you.)
Wanna make love to you.
( I just wanna make love.)

7. HEALING POWER OF LOVE

Do you believe in the healing power of love, or is it just a fantasy
Do you believe in the power from above, I feel it between you and me
And I don’t have to look in your eyes to know
There’s something going on here that’s out of our control
This is happening too fast for us to fight

There’s a healing power deep in all of us
In the darkest hour we can still rise up
There’s a new horizon between you and me
When you slip your hand in mine I feel the rush
Of the healing power of love

And we got nothing but love to pull us through, love and compassion
But in this desperation world nothing else will do, we can make it happen
And you don’t have to say a word, I understand
When you lay down your love lasts forever
You will always be my woman and I will be your man

There’s a healing power deep in all of us

In the darkest hour we can still rise up
There’s a new horizon between you and me
When you slip your hand in mine I feel the rush
Of the healing power of love

Deep in the night, when we’re so alone,
I swear I feel the power that’s greater than our own
And how a love unfolds
As we tumble through the darkness to the great unknown

There’s a healing power deep in all of us
In the darkest hour we can still rise up
There’s a new horizon between you and me
When you slip your hand in mine, I feel the rush
Of the healing power of love

There’s a healing power it’s so deep in us
In the darkest hour there’s a healing power of love
There’s a healing power, I can feel it now
In the darkest hour we can still rise up
There’s a healing power deep in all of us

8. I FALL ALL OVER AGAIN

I can’t believe we met like this, is it just coincidence
I had a feeling I’d be seeing you again
You’re every bit as beautiful as the last time we met
When you told me you were leaving and going back to him
How I wish that I could tell you it’s all in the past
But I was never good at lying and baby, since you asked

I don’t wanna hear that song again from the night we first met
I don’t wanna hear you whispering things I’d rather forget
I don’t wanna look into your eyes, cos you know what happens next
We’ll be making love and then I fall all over again

I can’t begin to tell you just how sorry I am
That the man you built your dreams around just broke your heart again
I think I know the feeling cos I once loved you so much
That I swore I’d rather die than live a day without your touch
If I held you in my arms you know I’d never let you go
But this ain’t the time or place to get emotional

I don’t wanna hear that song again from the night we first met
I don’t wanna hear you whispering things I’d rather forget
I don’t wanna look into your eyes cos you know what happens next
We’ll be making love and then I’d fall all over again

You were crying when you kissed me
Then you walked out that door
Oh, you were always such a mystery
I still dream we’re making love
Than I stop myself because

I don’t wanna hear that song again, from the night we first met
I don’t wanna hear you whispering, things I’d rather forget
I don’t wanna look into your eyes cos you know what happens next
We’ll be making love and then I fall all over again
I fall all over again

9. WHY DO WE ALWAYS HURT THE ONE WE LOVE



Here we go again, hurting each other for no reason
Wondering why we keep repeating the same mistakes
Seems the more we give, the more we’re disillusioned
Baby, what is it we’re doing, are we so scared of give and take, oh

Why do we always hurt the ones we love, why
Just when it seems we finally made the breakthrough
Why can’t we fly between the eagle and the dove
Why do we always hurt the ones we love

Sometimes it seems like the silences between us
Cut deeper than the meanest words, feel colder than the night
Every time I feel as though I’m finally gonna leave
It seems as though I just can’t breathe, girl, without you in my life, oh

Why do we always hurt the ones we love, why

Just when it seems we finally made the breakthrough
Why can’t we fly between the eagle and the dove
Why do we always hurt the ones we love

When you cry I feel as though the tears are falling
From my eyes, why do we do this to each other
There’s so much we should be proud of
So many dreams that we have shared
I’d hate to think that we’re right there without you standing here

Tell me why do we always hurt the ones we love, why
When we finally made the breakthrough
Why can’t we fly between the eagle and the dove
Why do we always hurt the ones we love, oh
Why can’t we fly between the eagle and the dove
Why do we always hurt the ones we love, why

video



10. IN YOUR EYES


And I think I finally know you
I can see beyond your smile
I think that I can show you
That what we have is still worthwhile
Don’t you know that love’s just like a thread
That keeps unraveling but then
It ties us back together in the end

In your eyes
I can see my dreams reflections in your eyes
I found the answers to my questions in your eyes
I can see the reason why our love’s alive in your eyes
We’re drifting safely back to shore
And I think I’ve finally learned to love you more

And you warned me that life changes
And that no-one really knows
Whether time will make us strangers

Or whether time will make us grow
Oh, even though the winds of time will change
In a world where nothing stays the same
Oh, through it all our love will still remain

Oh, in your eyes
I can see my dreams reflections in your eyes
I found the answers to my questions in your eyes
I can see the reason why our love’s alive in your eyes
We’re drifting safely back to shore
And I think I’ve finally learned to love you more

Oh, in your eyes
I can see the reason why our love’s alive, you and I
We’re drifting safely back to shore
And I think I’ve finally learned to love you more

video


11. NEVER THOUGHT

Can I touch you?
I can't believe that you are real
How did I ever find you?
You are the dream that saved my life
You are the reason I survived
Baby...
I never thought that I could love
someone as much as I love you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
someone as much as I need you
I Love You...
Can I hold you?

Girl your smile lights up the sky
You are too beautiful for the human eye
You are the dream that never dies
you are the fire that burns inside

Baby...
I never thought that I could love
someone as much as I love you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
someone as much as I need you
I Love You...
You are the sunshine in the sky
You are the sparkle in my eyes
I never thought that I could love
someone as much as I need you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
someone as much as I need you
I LOVE YOU.

video



12. I DREAM I SAW YOUR FACE LAST NIGHT

As I gaze into the sky
There’s a shooting star that’s falling
As it dwindles into floating dust
My name I hear it calling
Oh God I’d love to be free
But there’s something wrong, you see
I can’t make it
Just with me
I’m lonely...

Well I dreamt I saw your face last night
Just an image in the long
While falling through space I felt
Just you and me
And god
I just don’t know if I can believe in you
The dreamer deep inside me
Surely wants me to
If only dreams come true

At times I get this feeling
That there’s more to my life then greets my eyes
Just a crazy kind of feeling
Then I take a look around
This world’s falling down
Only a clown could believe ...believe

Well everyone’s had hopes I guess
On how the world should be
Everyone’s had dreams that just elude reality

Oh and God your name’s been used
For politics for power
God your name’s been used
For all the love that towers
But has yet to fall - upon us all
Well I dreamt I saw your face last night...

ALT. video




13. YOU MAKE ME WANT TO BE


You make me want to be a father
Trade my wandering path of freedom
For your soul
Oh and all I once defied
And locked so deep inside
Is on a roller coaster riding out of control

You make me want to be a teacher
Teach that love is all there is
And still there’s more
Oh and everywhere I turn
And everything I learn
Shows me there’s something new
I’ve never seen before

Words can only take a thought so far
And I’ve almost gone as far as I can go
To see each other as we really are
Exploring all around us
As we grow
And we grow
And we grow

You make me want to be a writer
Write this world a crazy love song
For today
Let me glide upon your smile
It beams for miles and miles
Catch it now before it sails away
Oh and words can only take a thought so far
And I guess I’ve gone as far as I can go
To see each other as we really are
Exploring all around us
As we grow
And we grow
And we grow


video



15. EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE




Ev’ry time we say goodbye I die a little
Ev’ry time we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me they allow you to go

When you’re near there’s such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere waiting to sing about it
There’s no love song finer
But how strange the change from major to minor
Ev’ry time we say goodbye


ALT. video





16. IT'S A LONG ROAD


It's A Long Road lyrics

It's a long road
When you're on your own
And it hurts when
They tear your dreams apart
And every new town
Just seems to bring you down
Trying to find peace of mind
Can break your heart
It's a real war
Right outside your front door I tell ya
Out where they'll kill ya
You could use a friend
Where the road is
That's the place for me
Where I'm me in my own space
Where I'm free that's the place
I wanna be
'Cause the road is long yeah
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks just heartaches
Oh man is anybody winning
It's a long road
And it's hard as hell
Tell me what do you do
To survive
When they draw first blood
That's just the start of it
Day and night you gotta fight
To keep alive
It's a long road ...

JOAN JETT : LET'S DO IT. [15]




Joan Jett (born Joan Marie Larkin; September 22, 1958) is an American rock guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer and actress.

She is best known for her work with Joan Jett & the Blackhearts including their hit cover "I Love Rock 'n' Roll", which was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 from March 20 to May 1, 1982,[1] as well as for their other popular recordings including "Crimson and Clover", "I Hate Myself for Loving You", "Do You Want to Touch Me", "Light of Day", "Love Is All Around", "Bad Reputation", and "Little Liar".

Her musical and songwriting approach is heavily influenced by the hard-edged, hard beat-driven rhythms common to many rock bands of her native Philadelphia, often featuring lyrics surrounding themes of lost love, criticisms of insincerity, the quest for authenticity, as well as the struggles and resolutions of the American middle class. She has three albums that have been certified Platinum or Gold, and she has been referred to as the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll" many times during her career.[2] In Venus Zine's 2010 "Queen of Rock" feature, Jett won the Readers' Pick in an online poll ahead of Stevie Nicks and Ann Wilson

1. BE MY LOVER

(Michael Bruce)

You strut into the room
Well I don't know ya
With a magnifying glance
I just sort of looked her over, hmm
We have a drink or two
Well, maybe three
And then suddenly you started telling me
Your life story
You said
Baby, if you wanna be my lover
You better take me home
'Cause it's a long long way to paradise
And I'm still on my own
Told ya that I came
From New York City
And I played guitar
In a real live rock and roll band
You asked me why
The singer's name was Alice
I said listen, baby
You really wouldn't understand
And I said
Baby, if you wanna
Be my lover
You better take me home
'Cause it's a long long way to paradise
And I'm still on my own
Baby, if you wanna
Be my lover
You better take me home
'Cause it's a long long way to paradise
And I'm still on my own

2. I HATE MYSELF FOR LOVING YOU


Midnight, gettin' uptight, where are you?
You said you'd meet me, now it's quarter to two
I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you

Hey, Jack, it's a fact they're talkin' in town
I turn my back and you're messin' around
I'm not really jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown

I think of you every night and day
You took my heart and you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you

Daylight, spent the night without you
But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do
I won't be as angry 'bout the hell you put me through

Hey, man, bet you can treat me right
You just don't know what you was missin' last night
I wanna see your face and say forget it just for spite


I think of you every night and day
You took my heart and you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you

I think of you every night and day
You took my heart and you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you

3. I STILL DREAMS ABOUT YOU

Sitting on the edge of the bed
I recall how you can send me to heaven
You never deny me in the middle of the night
My desires from morn to eleven
Whenever I ask there's never a task
For someone as wild as you
It's tough to believe I can hardly conceive
Of the things you can get me to do

(I hold your picture and your eyes they talk to me)
(Saying I want you tonight)
I still dream about you
I still dream about you
I still dream about you

Are you lonely baby, are you lonely for me too

Every night I get this feeling inside
Anticipating what's gonna come
It's all I can do to keep my hands off my pie
When I think about the things we done
I'm in a position to break some tradition
Never mind the song and dance
If you rock on the corner and start rocking this joint
It's time that we are making an advance yes it is

(I hold your picture and your eyes they talk to me)
(Saying I want you tonight)
I still dream about you
I still dream about you
I still dream about you

4. LOVE ME TWO TIMES


Love me two times, baby
Love me twice today
Love me two times, baby
Well, I'm goin' away

Love me two times, baby
One for tomorrow, one just for today
Love me two times
I'm goin' away

Love me one time
Could not speak

Last me all through the week
Love me two times

Love me two times
I'm goin' away, oh, yes

Love me two times, baby
Well, I'm goin' away

5. DESIRE

You're gone from mean street
Each time our eyes meet
I want to touch you
Sudden attraction
Such strange reaction
Hold me to you
Then you push me away

I want to make you, make you
Make you want to stay
So let me take you, take you
Take you baby all the way
'Cause I feel that desire
You're the flame that feeds my fire
Will you take me higher
Give me that love that I desire

Learned all that you want baby
Then why don't you show babe
Don't play with me baby
'Cause I'll find somebody
Who knows how to love me
So if you want it
You better take it right now

I want to make you, make you
Make you want to stay
So let me take you, take you
Take you baby all the way
'Cause I feel that desire
You're the flame that feeds my fire
Will you take me higher
Give me that love that I desire

Come on and take me through the night
You know I won't put up a fight
Just wrap your arms around me tight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Wondered why you make me
It might make you want to stay
If you don't take me
Life might never take me back this way
I feel that desire
You're the flame that feeds my fire
Will you take me higher
Give me that love that I desire

I feel that desire
You're the flame that feeds my fire
Will you take me higher
Give me that love that I desire
Desire, desire, desire

6. HOLD ME


No tears for us tonight, we've really got to try
Everybody's got their problems
And secrets that they try to hide
No fight or fuss tonight, be gentle as you can
Everyone thinks I'm stronger,
Much stronger than I am

I get scared and lonely
And I need someone to hold me
I get scared and lonely
And I need someone to hold me
Just like you do

There's no place left to go
When you're runnin' from yourself
It's easy when you draw conclusions
While you're lookin' at someone else
I tell the truth to you we've really got a lot
There is no time for sympathy
I think we ought to take a shot

Honey, I get scared and lonely
And I need someone to hold me
I get scared and lonely
And I need someone to hold me
Just like you do

Just take my hand, we'll find our way through
We won't be afraid 'cause
We've got each other to hold on to

Honey, I get scared and lonely
And I need someone to hold me
I get scared and lonely
And I need someone to hold me someone like you

I get scared and lonely
And I need someone to hold me, just like you do

7. I LOVE,YOU LOVE, ME LOVE



(Glitter/Leander)


We're still together after all that we've been through
They tried to tell you I was not the one for you
They didn't like my hair, the clothes I love to wear
They didn't' realize that I was strong enough for two
I love you, love you love me too, love I love you
Love me love I love you, love my only true love I
Love you love me love
The things they said about the two of us were lies
I knew they couldn't see the sparkle in your eyes
They said I wouldn't dare to show how much I care


They didn't know that we were just two angels in disguises
I love you, love you love me too, love I love you
Love me love I love you, love my only true love I
Love you love me love
So here we are alone, we made it on our own
And though they tried, they can't deny
The way I really showed'em
I love you, love you love me too, love I love you
Love me love I love you, love my only true love I
Love you love me love

8. HEARTBEAT..


Are you my lover
Or just fancy covers
That I hold at night
I wish upon a star
With my eyes shut tight
That my hopes and dreams
Will be recognized
'Cause it's fun with you
Yeah, it's fun with you

{Chorus} [2x]
And I know what you want
And I know what you need
I feel your heartbeat
Heartbeat

Sometimes I wonder
Where is that thunder
You had the other day
Watching your eyes burn
For the love you won't return
It's right next to you
Don't you let it slip through

'Cause it's fun with you
Yeah, it's fun with you

{Chorus}

I know what you want
And I know what you need
I feel your heartbeat
I feel your heartbeat

I feel your heartbeat
I feel your heartbeat

Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat
Heartbeat

I feel your heartbeat
I feel your heartbeat (heartbeat)
I feel your heartbeat (heartbeat)
I feel your heartbeat
I do
Oh yeah

9. I GOT NO ANSWERS



Little boy asked me why people get mad
I just told him they were probably sad
Is that true
I just don't know
I got no answers

So the little boy asked me why the people are sad
They're just survivin' they don't know what they have
Is that true
We come and go
I got no answers

When I'm down feeling lonely and confused
I just hide it all that's the only thing to do

A little girl asked me why the sky is so grey
It wants to rain on this cloudy day
Is that true
And what will it wash way

I got no answers
I got no answers
I got no answers

12. LET'S DO IT


When the little bluebird
Who has never said a word
Starts to sing spring
When the little bluebell
At the bottom of the dell
Starts to ring ding dong ding dong

When the little blue clerk
In the middle of his work
Starts a tune to the moon up above
It is nature that is all
Simply telling us to fall in love

And that's why birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

Cold Cape Cod clams, 'gainst their wish, do it
Even lazy jellyfish do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

I've heard that lizards and frogs do it
Layin' on a rock
They say that roosters do it
With a doodle and cock

Some Argentines, without means do it
I hear even Boston beans do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

When the little bluebird
Who has never said a word
Starts to sing spring, spring, spring
When the little bluebell
At the bottom of the dell
Starts to ring Ding ding ding

When the little blue clerk
In the middle of his work
Starts a tune

The most refined lady bugs do it
When a gentleman calls
Moths in your rugs they do it
What's the use of moth balls

The chimpanzees in the zoos do it,
Some courageous kangaroos do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

I'm sure sometimes on the sly you do it
Maybe even you and I might do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

video



13. YOU'RE TOO POSSESSIVE


Let me out of your iron grip
I don't want your lovers tips
I don't need your interrogations
Don't ask me 'bout my other relations

You're too possessive for me, so leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me, so get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife

I come in late and you throw a fit
You sit me down and give me some lip
Well I don't have to waste my time
A wimp like you ain't worth a dime
You're too possessive for me, so leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me, so get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife, no way baby

Go away and don't come back
I don't want my mirror cracked
Go and find somebody new
Got no time to mess with you

You're too possessive for me, so leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me, so get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife

You're too possessive for me, so leave me alone
Get off my back, go on home
You're too possessive for me, so get out of my life
Get off my back, I ain't your wife, no way baby


video


14. PLAY WITH ME

Life is never what you think
Give a sentimental wink
There ya go you don't know what's in store
But you felt it before

Hey I'm warmin' up to your insides
I don't worry cause I got no ties
Not a guy not a girl not a thing
Not a thing in this world

Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Hey baby did ya ever feel like being crazy
The borderlines are getting hazy
Rules are what we forgot you're a blaze
Leave them reeling for days

Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me

We'll have lots of fun let out emotions run
Nothing to nite is gonna get us down
We'll have lots of thunder let our emotions run
They go round and round and round round

Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me
Come on out come on out
Come on out and play with me

video



15. SOME DAY




Someday my love you'll learn to treat me right
A wake up my love I'm gonna make you see the light
You're never satisfied until you're bringin' me down
You never give me respect but still I'm stickin' around
Someday my love I'll get to you before you can start
Someday my love I'll take your heart and I'll tear it apart
One night I know you're gonna sleep alone
An' I'll be long gone an' you'll be the one to moan
You never knew what you had when I gave you my all
You're so full of yourself but you're goin' to fall
Some day my love I'll get to you before you can start
Some day my love I'll take your heart and I'll tear it apart
Listen to me you son of a bitch
You think you're so damned smart
But I got news for you I'm gonna kick you outta my life
And when you come crawling back to me on your hands and knees on glass
I'm gonna spit in your face an' laugh at your ass
Some day my love
The things you've done will catch up to you
Some day my love
I'll take your heart and I'll tear it apart
Some day my love
I'll get to you before you can start
Some day my love
I'll take your heart and I'll rip it apart

GLENN ALAN MEDEIROS: ALL I AM MISSING IS YOU [15]




Glenn Alan Medeiros (born June 24, 1970, Lihue - Kaua'i, Hawaii) is an American singer-songwriter of Portuguese descent.

Medeiros began his musical career at the age of 10 when he helped his father entertain guests on his tour bus on the island of Kauai. In 1987, at the age of 17, Medeiros won a local radio talent contest in Hawaii when he performed a cover version of George Benson's "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You" which was subsequently produced into an album by a small local independent label. A visiting radio executive from KZZP in Phoenix, Arizona heard the song and took the record back to Phoenix, where, through word of mouth, it became a national hit. Later, a worldwide hit, it reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent four weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart in July 1988.

In 1988, he recorded the single "Un Roman d'amitié (Friend You Give Me a Reason)", a successful duet in France with Elsa Lunghini. He also achieved a 1990 United States #1 hit duet with Bobby Brown entitled "She Ain't Worth It". The same track peaked at #12 in the UK chart. He had another hit duet with Ray Parker, Jr. titled "All I'm Missing Is You" which peaked at US #32. In 1989 Glenn recorded "Under any Moon" with The Jets.

In 1992 Medeiros recorded a duet with Thomas Anders (of Modern Talking fame) titled "Standing Alone" and shot a video.

Medeiros wrote "Break These Walls" for the New Zealand singer, Sam Verlinden.

Today, Medeiros is the host and performs at the Hale Koa Hotel's luau in Waikiki, and is a school teacher. He has taught music at St. Joseph's School in Waipahu, and 5th grade at Island Pacific Academy in Kapolei.

1. NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE MY LOVE FOR YOU


[Songwriters: Goffin, Gerry; Masser, Michael;]

If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long, with you I see forever
Oh, so clearly, I might have been in love before

But it never felt this strong
Our dreams are young and we both know
They'll take us where we want to go

Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to live without you

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by know how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through but
Nothing's gonna change my love for you


If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me

You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too

Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to live without you

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought to know by know how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through but
Nothing's gonna change my love for you

2. LONG AND LASTING LOVE [ ONCE IN A LIFE TIME]

A long and lasting love
Not many people find it
But those who do their whole life through
Put their heart and soul behind it
A long and lasting love
A long and lasting love
Is what I've always dreamed of
And when I look into your eyes
I knew I'd really seen love
A long and lasting love
Chorus:
We got a once in a lifetime
All the dreams we've waited for
Are just beginning to come true
It happens once in a life time

When you find that special girl
Who knows the meaning of love like you
A long and lasting love
We share for many reasons
A special bond
That goes beyond the changing of the seasons
A long and lasting love
A long and lasting love
Is what I've always dreamed of
I knew I'd really seen love
A long and lasting love
Is what I've always dreamed of
My long and lasting love

3. SOME DAY LOVE

Someday, right away
Hey you out there
I'd know you anywhere
Your smile can't hide the pain
Your eyes give you away
Seems love has gone again
It happens now and then
Suddenly the one you need
No longer wants you
But if you can find the heart to let it go
CHORUS
Someday love (will come back to you)
Someday love (will come shining through)
Someday love will be the reason
You've got to keep believin', someday love
Maybe it's much too soon
To try to comfort you

The words won't set you free
When love's a memory
Oh but don't forget
Your life's not over yet
Even the darkest night
Can't last forever
And just keep in mind the sun will shine again
Someday love (will come back to you)
Someday love (will come shining through)
Someday love will be the freedom
That will always keep you dreamin'
CHORUS
Someday love, someday's love
Someday love will be the freedom
That will always keep you dreamin'
(repeat til fade)

4. FALLING

I was alone and I've been thinkin'
How love has taken its toll on me
I opened my heart and was cheated again
Then you walked in
Last thing I needed was to fall for another
But I got this feelin' you can make me forget
One night can leave you broken hearted
Too late now I've already started
CHORUS
Fallin'
And deeper I go the more I'm believing
But my heart needs to know
I'm fallin'
And maybe this time I can hold on to love

'Cause I want it enough can't you see that
I'm fallin'
Forever and always that's the promise she made
Only words that will soon fade away
And I believed her but never again
That's what I said
Last thing I needed was to fall for another
But I got this feelin' you can make me forget
One night can leave you broken hearted
Too late now I've already started

5. LONELY WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE

(David Foster, Jermaine Jackson, Tom Keane & K. Wakefield)
Why do I seem to be caught up inside a dream
All my life, it's always been my shadow and me
Over my shoulder there's always a voice somewhere
Saying I never should try to set my heart free
I wish that love would come and take me in her arms
Show me what I've never known.
Where I could hold someone words like right and wrong
Just fade away like yesterday
Lonely won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone
Why, tell me why, won't even let me fall in love
Oooooh everywhere I go always by my side
Won't even let me fall in love
I try and say I love you but the words won't come through

In my eyes, see all the tears and sad memories
Why can't I start out new and leave that old feeling too far behind
I guess that lonely needs company
Around each bend of road
I'm thinking that in time there will be that rainbow's end
But when I follow those self illusions
I find that it's only lonely and me again
Lonely won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone
Why, tell me why, won't even let me fall in love
Oooooh everywhere I go always by my side
Won't even let me fall in love
Lonely won't leave me alone
I wish that love would come
Lonely won't leave me alone
And take me home
Lonely...

VIDEO


6. ME - YOU = BLUE

With all my heart, I pledge my love forever
You've got my word, you and I will always be together
There maybe times, we have a disagreement
This love's too strong, to ever let it come between us

I would, I would keep this love alive Oh baby
I would, I would be cause otherwise

Me minus u equals blue
Can't imagine what I ever do
If it'd ever came to
Me minus u equals blue
I can't stand the thought I've lost so far
Like so many hearts being in the dark
It'll never be me minus u

Each day I learn, a little more about you
Then I know for sure, that I'd never wanna be without you
With all the stage of truth of this relation
Me without your love is such a sad equation baby
I would, I would keep this love alive Oh baby
I would, I would be cause otherwise

Me minus u equals blue
Can't imagine what I ever do
If it'd ever came to
Me minus u equals blue

What we got can't get much better
I would never change a thing
Baby we're so good together
Then I'll never, never ever want it to be me

Me minus u equals blue
Me minus u equals blue

7. ALL I AM MISSING IS YOU

[Feat Ray Parker, Jr.]

Oh!...

I got these friends
They walk around so considered
Bragging to the end, like a car and clothes is all that's needed
What about the simple part
Give out of the heart?
Without love, it's never gonna be enough
I got the toys, I got the car, I got the friends, but
Hanging with the boys
Is not the kind of time I want to spend, but
I know there's something more
Something I've been waiting for
I knew it was true
The moment I saw you

In my heart, in my head, in my life, in my bed
All I'm missing is you
Every day, every night of my life would be right
All I'm missing is you oh...
Oh girl all I'm missing is you yeah

Doing all I can
But every since I met you baby
I'm a travelin man
If only else real love can save me
I'm reaching out to you
Baby what else can I do
But it's gonna be right
To get you into my life
In this crazy world
I've been searching for the answer
The I saw you girl,
I found out what my hearts been after
Could have been another day
But if I looked the other way
Then I couldn't have known
What I've been missing all along

In my heart, in my head, in my life, in my bed
All I'm missing is you
Every day, every night of my life would be right
All I'm missing is you oh...
Oh girl all I'm missing is you yeah

With all that I know
Still this-- Fill me with you
Girl, you know, I got it going on
But all I'm missing is you
You baby, oh yeah, all I'm missing is a-you!

In my heart, in my head, in my life, in my bed
All I'm missing is you
Every day, every night of my life would be right
All I'm missing is you oh...
Oh girl all I'm missing is you yeah

I need your lovin -- give me that love
Gimme that lovin

In my heart, in my head, in my life, in my bed
All I'm missing is you

All I'm missing is you oh...
Oh girl all I'm missing is you yeah

8. LOST FOR WORDS

know it's been a while since i looked in your eyes
and I told you how much you mean to me
and I know it's been a while since i saw you
smiling so sweetly the way it used to be

and if there were times you felt that I didn't care
I want you to know I always needed you there

'Cause I'm just a man in love with you
who can't find the way to tell you it's true
If only my heart could speak
You'd surely have heard
But somehow when it comes down to you
I'm lost for words

You were always there giving your love and affection
through the sorrow and the pain
Every moment I'm with you gives me reason
to make it through another day

I never meant to hold these feelings inside
I only knew I need you here in my life

'Cause I'm just a man in love with you
who can't find the way to tell you it's true
If only my heart could speak
You'd surely have heard
But somehow when it comes down to you
I'm lost for words

What can I do baby
There's a wall of silence
I've got to break it through
'Cause I couldn't stand it if you walk away
Isn't that love I could not see

'Cause I'm just a man in love with you
who can't find the way to tell you it's true
If only my heart could speak
You'd surely have heard
But somehow when it comes down to you
But somehow when it comes down to you
I'm lost for words...

Oh, no....
I've got to break it through...

9. SHE AIN'T WORTH IT

Better make tracks fast on the double
The girl’s jazzy, but she’s nothin' but trouble - Oh!

You take her where she wants to go
and every day you let her know
she’s the one who’s always on your mind
But she just cops an attitude
Leads you on, then leaves you blue
Can’t you see she’s really just a waste of time?

One day she’ll treat you nice
Then she turn as cold as ice
But you think your love will win her
in the end, think again

She ain’t worth it
The girl ain’t worth it
All this grief that she’s been puttin' you through (ooh)
She ain’t worth it
The girl ain’t worth it
Believe me (I know) I know better than
(better than) better than (bet-bet) better than you

She gets you hot, then leaves you cold
Keeps you waiting on the phone
‘cause she knows you’ll always give her one more try
You’re not the only boy in town
and she loves playin' to the crowd
But tell me, do you really like standin' in line?

You give her everything you have
and all she does is make you sad
What she really wants to do
is tell her friends she did it again

She ain’t worth it
The girl ain’t worth it
All this grief that she’s been puttin' you through (ooh)
She ain’t worth it
The girl ain’t worth it
Believe me (I know) I know better than
(better than) better than (bet-bet) better than you

I’d like to say she used to be my girl
but that would be a lie (that would be a lie)
‘Cause there’s no one in this whole wide world
that could keep her satisfied
I know, ‘cause I tried

Jump in
One thing I hate is when a girl plays fake
and tries to make me late for another date
‘Cause I’ve tried to make you mine for the last time
so take this here as a dis and a goodbye
She ain’t worth it, even though she’s on the high tip
She better get a grip, and get a grip quick
Fast in a hurry, ‘cause I won’t buckle
The girl’s jazzy, but she’s nothin' but trouble

Give her everything you have
and all she does is make you sad
What she really wants to do
is tell her friends she did it again

She ain’t worth it
The girl ain’t worth it
All this grief that she’s been puttin' you through (ooh)
She ain’t worth it
The girl ain’t worth it
Believe me (I know) I know better than
(better than) better than (bet-bet) better than you

10. WATCHING OVER YOU

Now that you´re far away
I can see everything so clear
Now that you´re really gone
I can feel you like you´re standing here

And if I had another chance to say goodbye
I would just say thank you for the times we spent
And not to cry, ´cause I´m

Still watching over you
Though we´re far apart
You´ll never really be
So far from my heart
I´m watching over you
I´ve looked inside my dreams
And everything I see
You watching over me
How can we lose our way
If we just let ourselves be led
And maybe it hurts today
But tomorrow we´ll come out ahead
I don´t want to lose you so I´ll let you go
And if it ends up we are meant to met again
We´ll let each other know
¥Cause I´m...

Still watching over you
Though we´re far apart
You´ll never really be
So far from my heart
I´m watching over you
I´ve looked inside my dreams
And everything I see
You watching over me

Instrumental break

I don´t want to lose you so I´ll let you go
And if it ends up we are meant to meet again
We´ll let each other know

I´m watching over you
Though we´re far apart
You´ll never be
So far from my heart
I´m watching over you
I´ve looked inside my dreams
And everything I see
You watching over me

11. LOVE ALWAYS FINDS A REASON

Sometimes I think of me and you
And every now and then I think we'll never make it through
We go through some crazy times
And there are times I wonder if I'll keep loving you
But I always do

Seems that love always finds a reason
To keep me here believin'
When I feel our love is slipping away
Seems that love always finds a reason
To make me stay
And even through the darkest night
The feeling survives
Seems that I can just look at you
And I find the reason in your eyes

(Elsa)

I know sometimes you wish that you were free
I know sometimes you wonder what you're doing here with me
But something keeps you by my side
Through everything, through all the times we disagree
You keep loving me

Seems that love always a reason
To keep me here believin'
When we feel our love is slipping away
And it seems that love always a reason

To make me stay
And even through the darkest night
The feeling survives
And you know when you look at me
You'll find the reason in my eyes

whoa-oo-ooh-ooo,oh

(Together)

Love always finds a reason
To keep us here believin'
When we feel our love is slipping away
Aren't you glad that
Love always finds a reason
To make us stay
And even through the darkest night
The feeling survives -- oh ...

Love always finds a reason
To keep me here believin'
When I feel our love is slipping away
And it seems that love always finds a reason
To make us stay
And even through the darkest night
The feeling survives
And you know when you look at me
You'll find the reason in my eyes

I find the reason
I find the reason, hoh ...
I found the reason in your eyes


VIDEO


12. IF I KNEW

Said it was over
And im slowly dealin'
But deep inside there's this awful pain I'm feeling
I wonder when it will end
When can love start again

Told myself that you probably need some time and
Maybe then you would come to change your mind but
Now i know i was wrong
Guess i gotta be strong.. i gotta move on

Though in time things will heal in my heart
But right now im just falling apart yeah

CHORUS
If i knew that you still love me
I could.. undo the pain i caused and i would
Take it all away so you'd stay
But its too late for that
Coz your not coming back ...no more ohhhhhh

So much i'll never have the chance to say
Though im still hopin that you come back one day but
Dont know why i pretend
When i know in my heart i wont see you again

Though in time i will have to let go
Right now i just need you to know yeah yeah

If i knew that you still love me
I could.. undo the pain i caused and i would
Take it all away
So you'd stay but its too late for that
Coz ur not coming back (no more)

Don't wanna have to close the door
And i dont want another view no more
Is there nothing that i can do to change the way you
Feel
Coz if i knew (if i knew)
Yeah yeah
Yeah.. coz baby if i knew...

If i knew that you still love me
Then i could.. undo the pain i caused
And i would take it all away so you'd stay
But its too late for that
Coz you're not coming back (not coming back)
(no more)

REPEAT CHORUS

13. THE WINGS OF MY HEART


I remember the day
You went out of your way
Just to see me, I do
I still feel butterflies
When I look in your eyes
That old magic in you still there
Still the same
Like the sun and the rain
Nothing's changed
Our love remains

You're my anchor and my sail in the wind
I need you here forever
So hold on to the wings of my heart
We can fly together
Love will take us beyond the clouds
If you hold on
To the wings of my heart

When I wake up you're there
Gentle words in my ear
You whisper softly to me
After all these years
Smiles and some tears
You're still holding on so strong
So deep is your mind
One of a kind
With a touch of divine
Soaring to time

You're my anchor and my sail in the wind
I need you here forever
So hold on to the wings of my heart
We can fly together
Love will take us beyond the clouds
Just hold on
To the wings of my heart

VIDEO



14. HEART DON'T CHANGE MY MIND


We said we'd try again
But tryin's not enough
Acting like strangers ain't no way of making love
It's never gonna work
It's time to stop pretending
Time to turn the page
All stories need an ending
It makes no sense to stay
Livin' my life in yesterday
I'm leavin' I'm leavin' and I'm beggin' you

(chorus)
Heart don't change my mind
Oh heart be strong this time
And try to help me tell her goodbye
It'll only bring pain for us to stay
Oh heart it's hard for you I know
Let me let her go

Don't let me think about
How good it was before
I know you'll try anything
to keep me from that door
It's hard to leave her when
You've loved her for so long
Now how can I walk away
If you're still holdin' on now

I finnally found the strenght
Look at me I can finnally say it's over, it's over
So I'm beggin' you

(chorus)

It makes no sense to stay
Sad that it has to end this way
It's over, it's over

(chorus)

VIDEO


15. IT DOESN'T MATTER ANY MORE


Why do I feel so cold inside?
Why does the truth seem like a lie?
Just when I started to believe in you

You must have been just a little confused
You must have thought you have nothing you can lose
Because, baby, you once said
When I walked away from you

(bridge)
You cannot change my mind
Well at least you could have tried
But it doesn't matter anymore

(chorus)
Who was right, who was wrong?
It doesn't matter anymore
Cause we're not together
Now there is one more thing
That I want to say to you
It doesn't matter anymore anyway

What would you do now with all your time?
How will you fill this space I've left behind?
Is there another heart that you can find?

It seemed I've learned my lesson
I should have never tried to test your love
As well as I realized it was never strong enough

You said we were never meant to be
But we could afford the meaning
But it doesn't matter anymore

(chorus)
(bridge)
(chorus)

Just a thing that I would have given my life to you
But ir doesn't matter anymore
Now there are still so many things
That I want to say to you
But it doesn't matter anymore
It doesn't matter anymore, anymore

1. I NEED YOU NOW

Here I am at 6 o’clock in the morning
Still thinking about you
It's still hard at 6 o’clock in the morning
To sleep without you
And I know that it might seem too late for love
All I know

I need you now, more than words can say
I need you now, I've gotta find a way
I need you now, before I lose my mind
I need you now

Here I am, I’m looking out my window
I’m dreaming about you
Can’t let go at 6 o’clock in the morning
I feel you beside me
And I know that it might seem too late for love
For love, oh, oh

I need you now, more than words can say
I need you now, I've gotta find a way
I need you now, before I lose my mind
I need you now, more than words can say
I need you now, I’ve gotta hear you say
I need you now, before I lose my mind
I need you now
I need you now

2. DREAMS

I bet I've seen that face
A hundred times or more
Then you shed a tear
What do you want from me
Is it something I can give
Just let me know
Then you walk in my arms and say
I need you more today

Dream, baby dream
Kiss me goodnight and I'll rock you to sleep
Dream, baby dream
You’re slipping away

Sometimes I'm so afraid
There’s nothing I can do
You're always on my mind
You know my hands were tied
Don’t you know how hard I tried
To never let you go
Then you walked in my arms and said goodbye

Dream, baby dream
Kiss me goodnight and I'll rock you to sleep
Dream, baby dream
You’re slipping away

Down on my knees I pray for you every day
I've been alone since you’ve been away

Dream, baby dream
Kiss me goodnight and I'll rock you to sleep
Dream, baby dream
You’re slipping away
You’re slipping away

I wasn’t looking for a miracle
Oh, and it came into my life

6. ARROW THROUGH MY HEART

There used to be a time when I would call and you'd be there
Now your leaving's killing me and the time we spent together
Why can't we tape the picture that is scattered on the floor
I guess there's just no love here any more

I can't hide from my emotions
Stop old dreams and crush my fears and turn away forever
I’ll get by without you now, so leave me alone
You won't be here tomorrow
Your love is like an arrow through my heart

I tried everything I could to hold onto that life
But now I see and I realise it wasn't always right
I’ll take the good and leave the bad and walk out of the door
I guess there's just no love here any more

I can't hide from my emotions
Stop old dreams and crush my fears and turn away forever
I’ll get by without you now, so leave me alone
You won't be here tomorrow
Your love is like an arrow through my heart

With all the tears I cried I should have drowned out all the pain
I’ll never go back, never cry, I’ve got too much to gain

I can't hide from my emotions
Stop old dreams and crush my fears and turn away forever
I’ll get by without you now, so leave me alone
You won't be here tomorrow
Your love is like an arrow through my heart
You won't be here tomorrow
Your love is like an arrow through my heart

And if you ever get lost on life's highway, don't know where to go
There's just one thing that I want you to know

I am here for you, oh always here for you

Tired of looking for someone to care

9. DON'T TREAT ME BAD

I never thought you'd hurt me
I guess you live and learn
that when you're playin' with fire
you're bound to get burned
I've been mistreated
I've been used before
I get kicked in the face
still I come back for more

But I won't cry no more
'cause the tears are all in vain
We can pick up the pieces
and start it all again
Let's just get back
to the way it was before
Oh girl I can't take anymore

(chorus)
Baby, don't treat me bad
Well this could be the best thing
that you'll ever have
Baby, don't treat me bad
Well you can do anything
but baby, don't treat me bad
Oh, don't treat me bad

I gave it everything
but you threw it all away
I can't take anymore
of these games that you play
I've been through heartache
and I've been through pain
And it's hard to believe
you still treat me this way

But I won't cry no more
'cause the tears are all in vain
We can pick up the pieces
and start it all again
Let's just get back
to the way it was before
Oh girl I can't take anymore

(chorus)

(instrumental)

10. ALL SHE WROTE

I got home late on a Saturday night
And I knew right away something wasn't right
I knew she was gone

She took all I had but, left a hole in my heart
Should 've known it would go bad, right from the start
What did I do wrong?

I can't understand why she would leave me this way
With nothing to say
Then I found the note on the door
It said good-bye and she don't want me no more

Chorus:
Bye bye baby, bye bye..., She said in her letter
And that was all she wrote
Guess this is goodbye, guess this is forever
And that was all she wrote

I called on the phone, but she wasn't there
Should 've known all along that she just didn't care
Why did she have to go

Now I look at her picture and I wonder why
She left me this way, Why did she say goodbye?
I guess I'll never know

I can't understand why she would leave me this way
With nothing to say
I remember the note on the door
It said goodbye and she don't want me no more

Repeat Chorus
Oh girl, I can't take anymore
Oh yeah

(instrumental)

Now listen to me
Baby, don't treat me bad
Well this could be the best thing
that you'll ever have
Baby, don't treat me bad
Well you can do anything
but baby, don't treat me bad

No, don't treat me bad
Don't treat me bad
Don't treat me bad
Oh oh, oh oh oh

11. YOU ARE MY RELIGION

[Songwriters: Snare, C J; Leverty, Bill;]

I've lost my faith in everything
I couldn't believe in anything
Until I put my faith in you

Is it a sin is it a crime
To worship somebody all of the time
Anytime, I would do anything for you

I found my heaven right here with you
Believe in me forever, I believe in you

Not just on Sunday, I love you every day and
I fall to my knees every night I pray since
You've come and saved me for all eternity
In the name of the Father and the Son
You are my religion

I wasn't looking for a miracle
Didn't think that love was possible
But your love has made me whole

And I pray that this will never end
You are my lover, my best friend
You took me in and saved my soul

I found my heaven right here with you
Believe in me forever, I believe in you

Not just on Sunday, I love you every day and
I fall to my knees every night I pray since
You've come and saved me for all eternity
In the name of the Father and the Son
You are my religion

Forgive me for the things that I have done
In the name of the Father and the Son
You are my religion

12. LOVE OF A LIFETIME

[Songwriters: Carl Snare;William Leverty]



I guess the time was right for us to say
We'd take our time and live our lives together day by day
We'll make a wish and send it on a prayer
We know our dreams can all come true with love that we can share

With you I never wonder - will you be there for me
With you I never wonder - you're the right one for me

I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime

With every kiss our love is like brand-new
And every star up in the sky was made for me and you
Still we both know that the road is long
(But) we know that we will be together because our love is strong

I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime

VIDEO


13. CAN'T STOP THE PAIN

It's been a long time since I saw you
Been so long since I touched your face
You know there's nothing I can do
That will help to get me through
'Cause I know you wont be there for me again
If I could dream about tomorrow
If I could dream the night away
You know there's nothing I could do
To get me over you
You used to be there every morning
You had that smile upon your face
But now that smile is turned around And my world is upside down
'Cause I know you won't be there for me again
If I could dream about tomorrow
If I could dream the night away
You know there's nothing I could do
To get me over you
I know I'll miss you
But you will never hurt again
I know you're happy
But now I feel such emptiness inside
If I could dream about tomorrow
If I could dream the night away
You know there's nothing I could do
To get me over you
Can't stop the pain

VIDEO


14. LOVE DON'T CARE

Little girl, face all black and blue
But she knows better
That's not the way a man should treat you
But that's ok, she'll change her life tonight
She's leaving him
For a woman who will treat her right

And everybody needs somebody
She could be with anybody
Doesn't matter if it's not another man

Chorus:
Because love don't care who you love
I said love don't care who you love
If you ain't hurting anybody
And if you feel it deep inside
Then love don't care who you love
Don't care who you love

Little girl, she's no sister, she is white
But she loves a brother
Takin' him home to meet her folks tonight
Mom and dad don't understand
We're all the same inside
They just don't realize
That love is always colorblind

And everybody needs somebody
You can be with anybody
It's not the color that makes the man

Because love don't care who you love
I said love don't care who you love
Don't let anybody tell you
That it's wrong if it feels right
'Cuz love don't care who you love
Love don't care

And everybody needs somebody
You can be with anybody
So love someone who makes you happy

15. WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES

I see forever when I look in your eyes
You're all I ever wanted, I always want you to be mine
Let's make a promise 'till the end of time
We'll always be together, and our love will never die

So here we are face to face and heart to heart
I want you to know we will never be apart
Now I believe that wishes can come true
'Cause I see my whole world
I see only you

Chorus:
When I look into you eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize
When I look into your eyes
I see all my dreams come true
When I look into your eyes

I've looked for you all of my life
Now that I've found you, we will never say goodbye
I can't stop this feeling and there's nothing I can do
'Cause I see everything, when I look at you

Chorus

When I look into your eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize
When I look into your eyes
We will always be together, and our love will never die
When I look into your eyes
I see all my dreams come true
When I look into your eyes
When I look into your eyes
