Should've Known Better
Another sleepless night I can't explain Somebody said they heard me call your name The radio won't let you leave my mind I know it's over but I don't know why Should've known better Than to fall in love with you Now love is just a faded memory Should've known better Now I'm a prisoner to this pain And my heart still aches for you There was no risk that I wouldn't take And not a promise that I didn't make All I asked was that you just hold on And now I'm wondering what I did wrong Chorus I gave you all of my body and soul Never believing we might lose control I took my hands off the wheel I can't remember if the lies were true It's been a million years since I touched you I thought time might help me win this game But being away from you is slowly driving me insane Chorus out
Hold On To The Nights
Just when I believed I couldn't ever want for more This ever changing world pushes me through another door I saw you smile And my mind could not erase the beauty of you face Just for awhile Won't you let me shelter you Chorus Hold on to the nights Hold on to the memories I wish that I could give you something more That I could be yours How do we explain something that took us by surprise Promises in vain, love that is real but in disguise What happens now Do we break another rule Let our lovers play the fool I don't know how To stop feeling this way Repeat chorus Well, I think that I've been true to everybody else but me And the way I feel about you makes my heart long to be free Everytime I look into your eyes, I'm helplessly aware That the someone I've been searching for is right there Hold on to the nights Etc
Don't Mean Nothing
Welcome to the big time. You're bound to be a star And even if you don't go all the way, I know that you'll go far This race is for rats, It can turn you upside down Ain't no one you can count on in this sleazy little town Oh, no Lots of promises in the dark But don't you open your heart Chorus Cause it don't mean nothin' The words that they say Don't mean nothin' These games that people play No, it don't mean nothin' No victim, no crime It don't mean nothin' Till you sign it on that dotted line The director smiles as you walk in the door He says, "I love your work, babe" But you're just not what we're looking for It's never what but who it is you know So easy to get stuck in all that California snow Take a good look around and you'll find People tryin' to mess with your mind Repeat Chorus Hollywood can be so lonely Make you the winner of a losing fight But the party is never over Cause stars are always shining Doesn't matter if it's day or night The producer says, "let me change a line or two" And a little bit of something can look awfully good to you And you want to scream, but you gotta keep it all inside When you're trying to make a living, There ain't no such thing as pride, no Lot of promises in the dark But don't you open your heart Repeat Chorus It don't mean nothing at all...
Endless Summer Nights
Summer came and left without a warning All at once I looked and you were gone And now you're looking back at me Searching for a way that we can be like we were before Now I'm back to what I knew before you Somehow the city doesn't look the same I'd give my life for one more night Of having you here to hold me tight; oh, please Take me there again Oh, oh Chorus And I remember how you loved me Time was all we had until the day we said goodbye I remember every moment of those endless summer nights I still recall the walks along the beaches And the way your hair would glisten in the sun Rising in the afternoon Making love to you under the moon, oh Do you remember all the nights we spent in silence Every single breath you took was mine We can have it all again Say that you'll be with me when the sun brings your heart to mine Oh, oh Repeat Chorus There's only so much I can say So please don't run away from what we have together It's only you and me tonight So let's stay lost in flight Oh, won't you please surrender Chorus out
Have Mercy
Ships are moving closer to the shoreline And we're laughing in the face of loaded guns I saw it on the news, we ain't got no worry But it won't be in the paper when D Day comes Lord, Have Mercy For we know not what we do Have Mercy We've forgotten to be afraid of you Who can solve the problems of a nation We cure the symptoms but we're killed by the disease I feel I've more than made my contribution But I hope there's room in heaven for my ego and me Lord, Have Mercy For we know not what we do Have Mercy We've forgotten to be afraid of you Have Mercy Lend us your hand Lord, Have Mercy Give us just another chance Too many coaches on the sideline Too many keepers in the zoo How will we know we've passed the deadline Give us the strength to stand or fall God in heaven, Have mercy on us all The ships are even closer to the shoreline Now we're playing in a madman's house of fun I read it in the news we ain't got no worry But it won't be in the paper when D Day comes Lord, Have Mercy
Heaven Only Knows
I watch the world go round and round And my life goes by at the speed of sound I walk the night And I wonder just where I belong, oh My heart is young, but my soul is old I've never been one to do what I was told My back to the wall Is the only place I can feel strong, oh Chorus Heaven only knows what lies before me Heaven only knows what all my searching is for All my life I've waited for a miracle But I can't ask for anything more I like to think I'm a faithful man To resist desire, I do all I can I hope to die in the arms of the woman I love, oh Repeat chorus I've always wondered how to know right from wrong Looking for a reason to replace what is gone But somehow the road just seems to lead right back to me Repeat Chorus |
