ONE NIGHT LOVE AFFAIR
You're the silent type And you caught my eye, But I never thought That I'd be touchin' you. How was I to know I'd let my feelings go And that I'd be yours Before the night was through. One night love affair Tryin' to make like we don't care, We were both reachin' out for somethin'. One night love affair Pretendin' it ain't there, Oh, and now we're left with nothin'. When the mornin' breaks We go our separate ways If the night was made for love It ain't for keeps. But I lose control As I watch you go All my senses say I'm in this much too deep, Now you're outa reach. One night love affair Tryin' to make like we don't care, We were both reachin' out for somethin'. One night love affair Pretendin' we don't care, Oh, and now we're left with nothin'. One night love affair Tryin' to make like we don't care, We were both reachin' out for somethin'. One night love affair Sometimes love ain't fair, Oh, and now we're left with nothin'.
SHE'S ONLY HAPPY WHEN SHE'S DANCIN'
Monday mornin', it's time to get up, Two cups of coffe and she runs for the bus, Looks in the window and fixes her hair, Nobody notices and nobody cares. She admits it ain't no kinda life Workin' nine to five, you know CHORUS: She's only happy when she's dancin'. There ain't no place that she'd rather be, when she's dancin', Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies. When friday evenin' finally rolls around, She grabs a taxi and she heads uptown, Goes to a place they call "The Ball & Chain", Nothin' matters until monday, so she goes insane. Well, it's a bitch tryin' to make ends meet, But that's the way the story goes. She's only happy when she's dancin'. There ain't nothin' makes her feel so free, when she's dancin', The girl's outrageous and it's plain to see. She ain't got much, But she got independence. Yeah, she's doin' alright. His eyes were on her as the evening's endin', But she ain't goin' for no mistery, Because nobody rides for free. CHORUS Dancin'
RUN TO YOU
She says her love for me Could never die, But that'd change If she ever found out about you and I. Oh, but her love is cold, It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know 'Cause when it gets too much I need to feel your touch. I'm gonna run to you. I'm gonna run to you. 'Cause when the feeling's right I'm gonna run all night, I'm gonna run to you. She's got a heart of gold, She'd let me down, But you're the one that always turns me on, You keep me comin' round. I know her love is true, But it's so damn easy makin' love to you And I got my mind made up, I need to feel your touch. I'm gonna run to you. I'm gonna run to you. 'Cause when the feeling's right I'm gonna stay all night, I'm gonna run to you. I'm gonna run to you. Yeah, I'm gonna run to you. 'Cause when the feeling's right I'm gonna run all night, I'm gonna run to you.
HEAVEN
Oh, thinkin' about all our younger years, There was only you and me, We were young and wild and fee. Now nothin' can take you away from me, We've been down that road before, but that's over now, You keep me comin' back for more. CHORUS: Baby, you're all that I want, When you're lyin' there in my arms I'm findin' it hard to believe We're in heaven. And love is all that I need, And I found it there in your heart. It isn't too hard to see We're in heaven. Oh, once in your life you find someone Who will turn your world around, Bring you up when you're feelin' down. Yeah, nothin' can change what you mean to me, Oh, there's lots that I could say, But just hold me now, cause our love will light the way. CHORUS I've been waitin' for so long For somethin' to arrive, For love to come along, Now our dreams are comin' true. Through the good times and the bad, Yeah, I'll be standin' there by you. You're all that I want, You're all that I need ...
SOMEBODY
I been lookin' for someone Through the fire and the flame. We're all lookin' for someone To ease the pain. Now who can you turn to When ist's all black and white And the winners are losers, You can see it every night. CHORUS: I need somebody, Somebody like you. Everybody needs somebody. I need somebody, Hey, what about you. We all need somebody. When you're out on the front line And you're watchin' them fall, It doesn't take long to realize It ain't worth fightin' for. I thought I saw the madonna When you walked in the room And your eyes were lide diamonds And they cut right through, Yeah, they cut right through. CHORUS Another night, Another lesson learnt. It's the distance that keeps us sane When the silence leads to sorrow Let's do it all again, All again. CHORUS (2x)
SUMMER OF '69
I got my first real six-string, Bought it at the five-and-dimes, Played it till my fingers bled, It was the summer of '69. Me and some guys from school Had a band and we tried real hard. Jimmy quit and Jodie got married, I shoulda know we'd never get far. Oh, when I look back now, And if I had the choice, Yeah, I'd always wanna be there, Those were the best days of my life. Ain't no use in complainin' When you've got a job to do, Spent my evening's down at the drive-in, And that's where I met you. Standin' at your mama's porch, You told me that you'd wait forever, And when you held my hand I knew that it was now or never, Those were the best days of my life. Back in the summer of '69. Man, we were killin' time, We were young and restless, We needed to unwind. I guess nothin' can last forever, Forever, no. And now the times are a-chanign', Look at everything that's come and gone. Every time I play that old six-string, Think about you, wonder what went wrong. Standin' by your mama's porch, You told me it would last forever. Oh, the way you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never. Those were the best days of my life. Back in the summer of '69.
KIDS WANNA ROCK
Turned on the radio, Sounded like a disco, Musta turned the dial For a couple of miles, But I couldn't find no rock'n'roll. This computerized crap ain't gettin' me off, Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock. London to L. A. Talkin' 'bout the new wave. For a couple of bucks You get a weird haircut and waster your life away, Around the world or around the block Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock. Get me my D. J., I got somethin' he's gotta play, Wanna hear it, I can't wait, So turn it up, turn it up ... Kick down the barricades, Listen what the kids say. From time to time People change their minds, But the music is here to stay. I've seen it all from the bottom to the top, Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock. Around the world or around the block, Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock. Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.
IT'S ONLY LOVE
When the feelin' is ended, There ain't no use pretendin', Don't you worry, it's only love. When your world has been shattered And there ain't nothin' else matters, It ain't over, it's only love. And that's all, yeah. When your heart has been broken And hard words have been spoken, It ain't easy, but it's only love. And if your life ain't worth livin' And you're ready to give in, Just remeber that it's only love. You can live without the aggravation, You gotta wanna win, you gotta wanna win. You keep lookin' back in desperation Over and over and over again. When your world is shattered And nothin' else matters, It ain't over, it's only love. If your life ain't worth livin' And you're ready to give in, Just remember that it's only love. Yeah, that's all. It ain't easy, baby, It's only love, and that's all.
LONG GONE
The telephone is ringin', Ringin' off the wall, It's your Las Vegas lawyer, Another long distance call. He says you get the house and the car and I get the clothes I got on. CHORUS: Now she's gone, Long, long, long, long gon. Now I'm a happy boy. She's long, long, long, long gone. Operator, get me Manhattan, Get my baby on the line. Sooner or later She's gotta realize That all my feelings were for real, But maybe she was leadin' me on. CHORUS She took the frigidaire, She got my favourite chair, You could sy she's got the best of me. It's like a legal crime, But in a matter of time She'll be back for the rest of me. But now she's gone, Long, long, long, long gone. Now give me peace of mind. She's long, long, long, long gone. Now I'm a happy boy...
AIN'T GONNA CRY
Well, I hardly knew you, baby, When you were comin' on, But mama told me ther'd be days like these. I should known better maybe, Shoulda seen right through ya, I needed you like a disease. CHORUS: I ain't gonna cry over you, You're a mistery. I ain't gonna cry over you, you're history, history. You said you'd wait forever, But I know your type, The lights are on but no one's home. I changed my number maybe, You'd better change your mind 'Cause I'd rather spend the night alone. CHORUS I ain't gonna cry over you, You're a misery. I ain't gonna cry over you, you're history. I ain't your kinda guy, So forget about me 'Cause I ain't too shy To say what I'm thinkin', hit it. I got reckless, baby, Put you in your place, Next time better rearrange your face. |
