HOW DO YA FEEL TONIGHT?

 

Is there anybody out there

Anyone that's loved in vain

Anyone that feels the same

Is there anybody waiting

Waiting for a chance to win

To give it up and start again

We all need something new

Something that is true

And someone else to feel it too

Cause I feel so high - no one else would know it

I don't know why I feel the way I do

And I can't let go - and I'm not scared to show it

Cause being here feels right

Tell me - how do ya feel tonight?

Is there anybody out there

Anyone who can't explain

Anyone that feels no pain

Is there anybody dreaming

Dreaming of a better day

When everything goes your way

We all need something new

Something that is true

And someone else to feel it too

And I feel so high - no one else would know it

I don't know why I feel the way I do

And I can't let go - and I'm not scared to show it

Cause being here feels right

Tell me - how do ya feel tonight?

Tell me - how do ya feel tonight?

Oh yeah - tell me - how do ya feel tonight?

We all need something new

Something that is true

And someone else to feel it too

Yeah - someone just like you

And I feel so high - no one else would know it

Cause I feel so high - no one else would know it

Tell me - how do you feel tonight?

Tell me - how do you feel tonight?

Cause I feel so high - no one else would know it

Yeah I feel so high - no one else would know it

Tell me - how do you feel tonight...

 

 

 

C'MON C'MON C'MON

 

C'mon c'mon c'mon - we're gonna make it home tonight

C'mon c'mon c'mon - everything's gonna be alright

The night is alive - the world is asleep

Dreaming of promises they can't keep

We gotta be tough we gotta be strong

It's only love we've been waiting on

C'mon c'mon c'mon - we're gonna make it home tonight

C'mon c'mon c'mon - everything's gonna be alright

It's only a dream - it's all in your head

It's only some words somebody said

We can believe what we wanna believe

And you can believe in me

C'mon c'mon c'mon

C'mon c'mon c'mon - yeah

C'mon c'mon c'mon - yeah

C'mon c'mon c'mon - we're gonna make it home tonight

C'mon c'mon c'mon - everything's gonna be alright

C'mon c'mon

C'mon c'mon

C'mon c'mon

C'mon c'mon

Oh yeah

C'mon c'mon c'mon - we're gonna make it home tonight

 

 

 

GETAWAY

 

Drove All Night From New York City

In your best friend's car

Knocked on my door about five thirty

Nursing a broken heart

Still got your keys in your back pocket

Still got your jacket on

Back door's open baby - I don't lock it

We can leave anytime we want

CHORUS:

I got my motor runnin' - fingers drummin'

I never planned to stay

Getaway - ya know it's now or never

Getaway - nobody lives forever

We're only waitin' just to make our getaway

Hey baby we were good together

Seemed like you'd always be my girl

But looking back now we were just too clever

Thinking love could change the world

Ya know there's no point in waitin' - hesitating

We gotta leave today...

Getaway - ya know it's now or never

Getaway - nobody lives forever

We're only waitin' just to make our getaway

(Ah - get away now)

CHORUS

Getaway - nobody lives forever

Getaway - ya know it's now or never

We're only waitin' just to make our getaway

Oh yeah - we're only waitin' just to make our getaway

Oh yeah - we're only waitin' just to make our getaway

(Keep on rolling)

We gotta get away now

 

 

 

ON A DAY LIKE TODAY

 

Free is all you gotta be

Dream dreams no one else can see

Sometimes ya wanna run away

But ya never know what might be comin' round your way

Ya ya ya

On a day like today

The whole world could change

The sun's gonna shine

Shine thru the rain

On a day like today

Ya never wanna see the sun go down

Ya never wanna see the sun go down

Somewhere - there's a place for you

I know that you believe it too

Sometimes if you wanna get away

All ya gotta know is what we got is here to stay

All the way

CHORUS:

On a day like today

The whole world could change

The sun's gonna shine

Shine thru the rain

On a day like today

No one complains

Free to be pure

Free to be sane

On a day like today

Ya never wanna see the sun go down

Ya never wanna see the sun go down

Free is all we gotta be

Dream dreams no one else can see

But ya never know what might be comin' for you and me

Ya it's gonna be

CHORUS

 

 

 

FEARLESS

 

It's 3am - and I'm lying here next to you

What cha gonna do?

Will you tell a story

When he asks you where the hell you've been

Or will you tell the truth?

CHORUS:

I ain't holdin' back

I know where I stand

I just wanna be with you

Ya gotta face the fact

Baby I'm your man

I've gotta get it through to you

I'm fearless

You don't have to hide

You don't have to share half your life

With some other guy

Baby we're so strong

And it's been going on so long

It's time to make it right

Want you to spend the night

CHORUS

I'm fearless

I just wanna - yeah - I just wanna be with you

CHORUS: repeat

I just wanna be with you

I've gotta get it through to you

I'm fearless

 

 

 

I'M A LIAR

 

Maybe I told you right from the start

You can have me but you can't have my heart

It's easy enough to say but I couldn't care less

Ya I mighta told you you were on my mind

Guess I talked a pretty good line

But hey I can talk all day but I just can't confess

CHORUS:

That I'm a liar - I'm a victim of desire

I'm a moth into the fire

I'm over my head - forget what I said

Tell ya I'm a liar - I'm just walking on the wire

I couldn't get much higher

Ya I'm over my head - forget what I said

Baby I'm a liar

When I told you I was hard to pin down

Ya know I was just messin' around

Guess you know by now that that's just my way

And if you want stories - well I got a few

But hey - this is the truth I swear to you

How many more times do you want me to say

CHORUS

I'm a liar...

If I told ya to go away

Baby you can't believe a thing I say

Listen...

I'm a liar - I'm a victim of desire

I'm a moth into the fire

Ya I'm over my head - forget what I said

Tell ya I'm a liar - I'm just walking on the wire

No I couldn't get much higher

But I'm over my head - forget what I said

Baby I'm a liar

I'm a liar

But I'm over my head - forget what I said

I'm a liar

Liar... I can't help myself...

I'm a liar... You can't believe a single thing I say...

 

 

 

CLOUD NUMBER NINE

 

Clue number one was when you knocked on my door

Clue number two was the look that you wore

N' that's when I knw, it was a pretty good sign

That something was wrong up on cloud number nine

Well it's a long way up and we won't come down tonight

Well it may be wrong but baby it sure feels right

CHORUS:

And the moon is out and the stars are bright

And whatever comes 's gonna be alright

Cause tonight you will be mine

Up on cloud number nine

And there ain't no place that I'd rather be

And we can't go back but you're here with me

Ya the weather is really fine

Up on cloud number nine

Now he hurt you and you hurt me

And that wasn't the way it was supposed to be

So baby tonight let's leave the world behind

And spend some time up on cloud number nine

Well it's a long way up and we won't come down tonight

Well it may be wrong but baby it sure feels right

CHORUS

Well we won't come down tonight

Ya we won't come down tonight

No we won't come down tonight

CHORUS

We can watch the world go by

Up on cloud number nine

 

 

 

WHEN YOU'RE GONE

 

I've been wandering around the house all night

Wondering what the hell to do

Ya I'm trying to concentrate but all I can think of is you

Well the phone don't ring cause my friends ain't home

I'm tired of being all alone

Got the TV on cause the radio's playing

Songs that remind me of you

Baby when you're gone I realize I'm in love

The days go on and on

And the nights just seem so long

Even food don't taste that good

Drink ain't doing what it should

Things just seem so wrong

Baby when you're gone

I've been driving up and down these streets

Trying to find somewhere to go

Ya I'm lookin' for a familiar face but there's no one I know

Ah this is torture - this is pain

It feels I'm gonna go insane

I hope you're coming back real soon

Cause I don't know what to do

Baby when you're gone I realize I'm in love

The days go on and on

And the nights just seem so long

Even food don't taste that good

Drink ain't doing what it should

Things just seem so wrong

Baby when you're gone

Baby when you're gone I realize I'm in love

The days go on and on

And the nights just seem so long

Even food don't taste that good

Drink ain't doing what it should

Things just seem so wrong

Baby when you're gone

Baby when you're gone

Ya baby when you're gone

 

 

 

INSIDE OUT

 

The biggest lie you ever told

Your deepest fear 'bout growin' old

The longest night you ever spend

The angriest letter you never sent

The boy you swore you'd never leave

The one you kissed on new year's eve

The sweetest dream you had last night

Your darkest hour, your hardest fight

CHORUS:

I wanna know you like I know myself

I'm waitin' for you

There ain't no one else

Talk to me baby

Scream and shout

I want to know you inside out

I wanna dig down deep

I wanna lose some sleep

I wanna scream and shout

I wanna know you inside out

I wanna take my time

I wanna know your mind

Ya know there ain't no doubt

I wanna know you inside out

The saddest song you ever heard

The most you said with just one word

The loneliest prayer you ever prayed

The truest vow you ever made

What makes you laugh, what makes you cry

What makes you mad, what gets you by

Your highest high, your lowest low

These are the things I wanna know

CHORUS

I wanna know your soul

I wanna lose control

C'mon 'n' let it out

I wanna know you inside out

Ya gotta dig down deep

I wanna lose some sleep

I wanna scream and shout

I wanna know you inside out

Ya - I wanna know you inside out

I wanna know you inside out

Tell me everything baby...

I wanna know you inside out...

 

 

 

IF I HAD YOU

 

If I was blind you could make me see

If I was down you could comfort me

Well I ain't got a lot but what I got is true

There's nothin' that I can't do if I had you

I could walk on water - I could dance on air

Go any place - go anywhere

Could climb the Empire State and the Rockies too

There's nothin' that I can't do if I had you

If I had you - for what else could I pray?

If I had you - I could make my way

The sun is up - the sky is blue

There's nothin' that I can't do if I had you

If I had you - for what else could I plead?

If I had you I'd have all I need

The sun is up - The sky is blue

There's nothin' that I can't do if I had you

There's nothin' that I can't do if I had you

 

 

 

BEFORE THE NIGHT IS OVER

 

Hey baby - I got someone 'n' you got someone too

Hey baby - I don't know what we're gonna do

How can something wrong feel so right

Come on baby - hold on tight

CHORUS:

Before the night is over

We gonna get what we desire

Remember what I told ya

This could set our hearts on fire

Hey baby - we're old enough to know that it's a sin

Hey baby - the door is open slide on in

This feels too good to be true

I'll tell ya what I wanna do

CHORUS: repeat

CHORUS

Before the night is over

We gonna get what we desire

Before the night - before the night

Before the night is over

Gonna get what we desire

This could set our hearts on fire

Before the night - before the night

Before the night is over

I don't wanna tell a lie

This is somethin' we can't hide

Before the night is over

 

 

 

I DON'T WANNA LIVE FOREVER

 

All I want is a real fast car

Wanna go too fast - wanna go too far

I wanna take a bite of this sweet sweet life

While the gettin's good and the time is right

I wanna fill my cup - I wanna drink it up

CHORUS:

I don't wanna live forever

I just wanna go for broke

Gonna ride thru any kind of weather

Go out in a cloud of smoke

I don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

Don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

All I need is a good excuse

You can cut my reins and turn me loose

I'm gonna pull my weight I'm gonna push my luck

I'm gonna go down fightin' when my time is up

You know I don't care - I'm gonna get my share

CHORUS

I wanna fill my cup - I wanna drink it up

You know I don't care - I'm gonna get my share

CHORUS

Don't wanna live forever...

 

 

 

WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD

 

Well I'm wrapped around your finger

I'm never letting go

You know I'm happy just to linger

And let the feeling flow

This must be an illusion

I know this can't be real

But right here and right now

This is paradise I feel

CHORUS:

I never thought I'd find someone to move me

Someone who could see right thru me

You found your way into my head

Where even angels fear to tread

Don't wanna go out walkin'

Don't wanna take a drive

Don't wanna move from this sweet spot baby

While this feelin's still alive

The way we fit together

It's like we're meant to be

And right here and right now

This is paradise to me

CHORUS

Ya - you found your way into my head

Where even angels fear to tread

 

 

 

LIE TO ME

 

I walked in - you walked out

I knew right then - something was up

Ya said "Don't ask me no questions - won't tell ya no lies"

It comes as such a surprise

Think I'll close my eyes to the pain

Cause tonight I don't wanna know where you bin

CHORUS:

So won't you lie to me

Then I can't be mistaken

Swear that you will lie to me

I don't wanna hear my heart breakin'

Tell me the things that I wanna hear

I don't give a damn if you ain't sincere

Baby just swear (baby just swear)

Swear that you'll lie to me

You walked in - I walked out

Baby this ain't what we've been about

If I touched your hand - would ya pull it away

Was it something I didn't say

I forgive ya all the same

But tonight I don't wanna know where you bin

CHORUS

You can't say the things you want

I won't let ya tell the truth

Cause I don't (cause I don't) give a damn (give a damn)

and I don't (and I don't) wanna know where you bin

So baby won't you lie to me

Then I can't be mistaken

Swear that you will lie to me

I don't wanna hear my heart breakin'

Tell me the things that I wanna hear

I don't give a damn if you ain't sincere

Baby just swear (baby just swear)

Swear that you'll lie

Baby just swear (baby just swear)

Swear that you'll lie

Baby just swear (baby just swear)

Swear that you'll lie to me

Lie to me...

Lie to me...

 

 

HEY BABY

 

Hey baby you oughta be free

You gotta get out and chase all your dreams

There ain't no point in you waitinf for me

Hey baby you oughta be free

Hey baby it's gonna be fine

You goin' your way and me goin' mine

We'll be together somewhere down the line

Hey baby it's gonna be fine

CHORUS:

Hey baby you got to give it a try

You can only deny yourself for so long

Hey baby you gotta be strong
