1. A WOMAN CROSSED IN LOVE
Can't stand this silence any more I'm dying
The words no sooner leave my lips
I'm out of your life in the beat of a heart
It was selfish it was cruel undeniably uncool
Have your way with me
Slap me twice across the face once for a stolen embrace
Once more for honesty
They say the truth will set you free
It's true for some but not for me
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love
Call me shameless I don't care I love you
Desperate measures for desperate times
So much for the sway of a kiss
Darling here I am your ever-loving man
In his darkest hour
Had I known it meant goodbye I would have sooner lived a lie.
Than live without you girl
They say the truth will set you free
It's true for some but not for me
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love
So it's over like that pack you bags your coat and hat
End of story
Before I fade away hear me when I say
Baby I'm sorry.
They say the truth will set you free
It's true for some but not for me
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love

2. LOVE OF MY LIFE
Love of my life
Take my heart take my soul
Take what you need
Love of my life
Don't you know I'm just a fool for a good woman's greed
You broke the wings of a weary vagabond
And I'm stranded on the island of your love
You are the fruit of my amazon
Love of my life I'm no good on my own
Love of my nights
Take my pride take my flesh
Take all my blues
Love of my life
Don't you know my life's a bore
When there's nothing to lose
I am the prisoner of your paradise
Sunken in the bayof of your love
I make this sensual sacrifice
Love of my life
For the good of my own
Love of my life
I'm no good on my own
Love of my life
Take my heart take my soul
Take what you feel
Love of my life
Don't you know I'm just a man
For a woman who's real
Love of my life ...
Love of my life ...
Love of my life ...

3. FALLEN IN LOVE
Pardon me
What a rare mood I'm in
Check the glorious grin
And the bright eyes above
Well, excuse me world for being alive
At last I've arrived
I've fallen in love
Ate with augustine monks, babbled in tongues
Climbed the highest hill in Peru
Took a walk on the Ganges, peeled the wraps of Rameses
Slayed me a dragon or two
Turned saviors and saints, and little green men
Moonshine and miracle drugs
But I never quite saw the light
'till I fell in love
Pondered Zen and Zoroaster, and the life ever after
Blavatsky, Marx, Moliere
Found Jesus and Siddhartha in a bar in djakarta
Chatting where the air is quite rare
Let Solomon keep his philosopher's stone
Let Jove keep his heavens above
To my mind it ain't near as divine as falling in love
I'm in love!
Pardon me
What a rare mood I'm in
Check the glorious grin
And the bright eyes above
Well, excuse me world for being alive
At last I've arrived
To my mind it ain't near as divine
Not nearly as sweet and sublime
As falling in love
I'm in love!
Pardon me
What a rare mood I'm in
Check the glorious grin
And the bright eyes above
Well, excuse me world for being alive
At last I've arrived
I've fallen in love
I'm in love
Fallen in love

4. OMENS OF LOVE
To love
I have lost
All that is self
My memories have made the storm
Now subsides casting my fate
Inside your soul
And these eyes
Are mine no more
To seek
I pour myself in your virgin veins
Now all that I see
Is through a passion's pain
Cause I'm all hung up over you
I'm losing myself
Loving you
Your wine is the blood
That drunkens my heart
With omens of love and now
That I am you
Woman I fear that you're not i
Oh true love is so so bume and so blue
The storm has passed
Deep inside of me
Crushed by the calm of my insecurity
Cause I'm all hung up over you
I'm losing myself
Over you....

5. LOVE ME NOW
Yes I know how much you love me
Can't you realize, I'd cause you just pain
'Cause men like me, capricious and free
Live life alone and confused
Yet loving whoever they choose
Yes I know how much you need me
But I just patronize with this affair
'Cause all my life, I've needed to be
A man with a mind full of craves
Living to learn from each phase
Love me now while I'm here
Love you this man
Take me as I am
The storm in your life
And hear me out
I've something to say
Love is a moment in time
And now that it's yours and it's mine
Love me now while I'm here
Love you this man
Take me as I am
The storm in your life...

6. LOVE IS A NIGHT
Hangin' out in New Orleans
Diggin' on the bourbon scenes
Just feelin' the vibes of the oncoming days
There ain't no texan chaparral
To hide away all those southern belles
Just thinking about that Georgian gal conjures a craze
Love is a night
Who really cares if it's wrong or it's right
And all that I care
You've been some life and love I could share
Got a thing in Tennessee
She ain't about to marry me
There's never been a time she says yes and means no
I had a case in carolin'
From makin' love on rose wine
It's strange how they come and they go
Love is a night
Who really cares if it's wrong or it's right
And all that I know
You've been some life and love on the road
Love is a night
I only know the moment is right
As for the ladies I've known
They mean so much when you're all alone

7. LOVE AND EMOTION
There's nowhere to run from the heat of the sun
There's nowhere to hide from your face
Black is the night, won't you show me the light
The road only leads to one place
For your love and emotion
I promise you love till I die
Faith as deep as the ocean
Keeps me believin' you're alive
There's nowhere to run from the things that we've done
There's nowhere to hide from the truth
Something is wrong when my woman is gone
My world ain't no good without you
For your love and affection
I give you my soul for all time
Faith as high as a mountain
Keeps me believin' you're mine
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
For your love and emotion
I promise you love till I die
Faith as deep as the ocean
Keeps me believin' you're alive
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh (for your love and emotion), oh
Oh (for your love and emotion), oh

8. IF I SHOULD LOSE THIS LOVE
I seen highways in the rain
Waved goodbye to midnight trains
I seen sweet dreams disappear
All my life
I felt cold wind cut my skin
Waiting on ships that never came in
But I never cried real tears until tonight
If I should lose this love
If you should turn away
I couldnt bear to face
One more day
If I should lose this love
I couldnt stand the pain
I can do without better things in life and still get by
But if I should lose this love oh baby
I might just lay down & die
I staggered on the edge of hell
Stealing coins from wishing wells
And if the world went up in flames
What did I care
But when I look into your eyes
You know I suddenly realize
For the first time in my life baby Im scared
If I should lose this love
If you should turn away
I couldnt bear to face
One more day
If I should lose this love
I couldnt stand the pain
I can do without better things in life and still get by
But if I should lose this love oh baby
I might just lay down & die
I don't want to lose this love

9. HURTS TO BE IN LOVE
More and more
Your kiss is like a half opened door
I can't get in
You stop me just before I begin
And it hurts to be in love
When you never ever get enough
Oh it hurts to be in love
This endless urge
Keeps my body right on the verge
We touch and then
I wanna do it all over again
And it hurts to be in love
When you only want me half as much
I tell you it hurts to be in love
I'm always worried you think I'm pushing too hard
Oh baby it hurts me when you tell me I'm going to far
We touch and then
I wanna do it all over again
And it hurts to be in love
When you only want me half as much
I tell you it hurts to be in love
It hurts
Baby it hurts
It hurts

10. MOMENT TO MOMENT
Too many nights of isolation
Too many echoes in my head
Too many fires left burning
In this bed
Too many thoughts of desperation
So much pain deep down below
So much a slave to my senses
I can't let go
From moment to moment
I live and I die
This can't go on anymore
Another day, another lie
From moment to moment
I stand and I fall
This can't go on anymore
Unless we both give it all
I ask you how can a man keep his distance
How can he reason with his heart
How can you hold me so near
Yet keep me so far
From moment to moment
I live and I die
This can't go on anymore
Another day, another lie
From moment to moment
I stand and I fall
This can't go on anymore
Unless we both give it all
Sometimes I'd like to break you down
To see if there's a trace of woman
In you that could be found
But I just keep prayin' you'll come around
And live from moment to moment
I live from moment to moment
I live from moment to moment
So much a slave to my senses
I can't let go
From moment to moment
I live and I die
This can't go on anymore
Another day, another lie
From moment to moment
I stand and I fall
This can't go on anymore
Unless we both give it all
You know I want to give it all
I live from moment to moment
Everyday of my life
I live from moment to moment

11. CRY OF LOVE
Stand in the window
Close to the edge
As the neon signs surrender to the light of day
I sip a bitter cup of coffee
And I fade away oh I fade away
There's a cross above my pillow
Curse words on the wall
What I'd give to write the pages of my life again
No I can't believe this is the way
The story ends oh is this the end is this the end
I wanna run to the highest mountain
I wanna stand in the light of the sun
I wanna ask all this world to forgive the man that I've become
and now I call on the angels above
Won't somebody hear won't somebody hear
My cry of love
Got a shoe box full of letters
Got a ring that I should pawn
There's a picture on the table of the way we were
I wish to God I could forget
But I still think of her I think of her
Oh I think of her
I wanna run to the highest mountain
I wanna stand in the light of the sun
I wanna ask all this world to forgive the man that I've become
and now I call on the angels above
Won't somebody hear won't somebody hear
My cry of love
Won't anybody listen to me
Can anybody hear my prayer
Won't anybody listen to my cry of love
Won't anybody listen to my cry of love
Won't anybody listen to my cry of love
I wanna ask all this world to forgive
The man that I've become
And so I call on the angels above
Won't somebody hear won't somebody hear
My cry of love
Won't anybody listen to me
Can anybody hear my prayer
Won't anybody listen to me
Does anybody really care
My cry of love

12. DOWN WITH LOVE
Must-a been high, must-a had plenty
If she had one
(Don't know)
Might-a had twenty
Flat on my back
With the wind out of my sail
My friends all say
I look a little skinny and pale
Caught a nasty little bug
One thing sure
There ain't no cure
When you're down with love
Enough to make a grown man cry
Or make a mule comply
(Comin' down with love)
Enough to make a soul man straight
Or make a wildcat domesticate
My head's too hot
My nose a little runny
My family doctor
Stuck me twice and stole my money
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Let me tell you what I see
Some kind of strung out fool
Looking back at me
I need a miracle drug
'Cause one thing sure
There ain't no cure
When you're down with love
Enough to make a grown man cry
Or make a mule comply
(Comin' down with love)
Enough to make a soul man straight
Or make a wildcat domesticate
Flat on my back
With the wind out of my sail
My friends all say
I need a miracle drug
'Cause one thing sure
There ain't no cure
When you're down with love
Enough to make a grown man cry
Or make a mule comply
(Comin' down with love)
Enough to make a mad dog tame
And give a man a good name
One thing's sure
There ain't no cure
When you're down with love

13. SLOW LOVE
I want some slow love
The kind that lasts forever
The kind of love that will be there in the morning
I want some slow love
The kind that leaves me never
The kind of love that lasts a long long time
Now don't mistake my coolness for a cold heart
I want you more than you should know
It's just these days I'm not inclined to move so fast
Why don't you stay a while say a hundred years or so
And make some slow love
The kind that lasts forever
The kind of love that will be there in the morning
I want some slow love
The kind that leaves me never
The kind of love that lasts a long long time
I'm not inclined to live a lifetime in one night
Although I long to touch I yearn for much, much more
A slow love
The kind that lasts forever
The kind of love that will be there in the morning
I want some slow love
The kind that leaves me never
The kind of love I thought I'd never find
The kind of love that lasts a long time

14, RHYTHM OF ROMANCE
Coke machines on the Ho Chi Minh trail
Russian spies shopping at Bloomingdales
Killer bees swarming up the Rio Grande
Hey baby where'd you get that tan
Rome burns as we dance cheek to cheek
Titanic's sinking but oooh do we look chic
New york city's got the Hong Kong flu
And I can't take my eyes off you
Mx G.I.JOE
Rsvp UFO
Abcia
I still want to know who shot JFK
Let's dance
To the rhythm of romance
Let's swing
'neath the stars above
C'mon let's dance
To the rhythm of romance
Let's kiss
Let's fall in love
Johnny woke up from his American dream
Rich man poor man and a desert in between
Crystal chandeliers hangin' by a thread
We're in the pink baby just two trillon in the red
And I hear Gabriel blowing his saxophone
Through a great big hole in the ozone
Who cares it the sun don't rise
When I look in to your ultraviolet eyes
That's life, this is war
I took it on faith, can't take it anymore
Old, young, yin and yang
We'll all go together in the next big bang
Boom shug a lug a lug a boom
Let's dance
To the rhythm of romance
Let's swing
'neath the stars above
C'mon let's dance
To the rhythm of romance
Let's kiss
Let's fall in love

15. THE JOKER IS WILD
Sound the trumpets for the princess and her fool
A joke, a jester just to make her smile
Silver bells on his hat and on his pointed shoes
Tears rolling down his cheeks
As he dances in the aisles
Watch the little funny man stand on his head
Watch the silly minstral with his empty arms spread
His life hanging by a thread
The joker's wild
Can't you see by his eyes
The joker's wild
Can't you see through his disguise
The joker's wild about you
Watch him juggle on one foot
Maybe a riddle for a damsel in distress
He's just a clown in a court of thieves
Who conspire for a kiss
It's off with his head dare he show his loneliness
Watch the little funny man walk on his hands
See the little princess laugh as hard as she can
Her every wish is his command
The joker's wild
Can't you see by his eyes
The joker's wild
Can't you see through his disguise
The joker's wild about you
Watch the little funny man stand on his head
Watch the silly minstral with his empty arms spread
His life hanging by a thread
The joker's wild
Can't you see by his eyes
The joker's wild
Can't you see through his disguise
The joker's wild about you

16. YOUNG LOVER
One life to live
no time to pretend
no wins no loss
no heroes in the end
no dreams no plans no promises
Young lover

One kiss
one softly whispered yes
no talk oh no, no tears
no hearts to repossess
no names no chains no hostages
Young lover
just turn out the lights
slip under the cover
of the night
young lover young lover young lover
everythings all right
young lover
just turn out the lights

17. LIVING INSIDE MYSELF
In my life
I've felt so self assured
But suddenly it's all changed
She's a cloud
That hangs above my world
And I find myself wondering in the rain
And now I can't go on
Cause I am lost
Living inside myself
Living inside this shell
Living outside your love
I am lost
Somewhere inside my own dreams
Afraid of what life really means
Living without your love
I need a guiding light
To shine on my darkest days
I was young
And time was on my side
But like a fool I let it slip away
And now those days are gone
And I am lost
Living inside myself
Living inside this shell
Living outside your love
I am lost
Somewhere inside my own dreams
Afraid of what life really means
Living without your love
In my life
I've felt so self-assured
But oh how all the seasons change
And now I'm not that strong
Cause I am lost
Living inside myself
Living inside this hell
Living outside your love
I am lost
Somewhere inside my own dreams
Afraid of what life really means
Living without your love
I am lost
Living inside myself
Living inside this shell
Living outside your love
I am lost
Somewhere inside my own dreams
Afraid of what life really means
Living without your love
I am lost
