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.
STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART
I could start dreamin', but it never ends, As long as you're gone, we may as well pretend I've been dreamin' Straight from the heart. You say it's easy, but who's to say That we'd be able to keep it this way, But it's easier Comin' straight from the heart. CHORUS: Give it to me straight from the heart, Tell me we can make another start, You know I'll never go As long as I know It's comin' straight from the heart. I'll see you on the street some other time And all our words would just fall out of line, I was dreamin' Straight from the heart. CHORUS (Don't ever leave me, darlin', oh no) CHORUS Straight from the heart, Tell me we can make one more start, You know I'll never go As long as I know It's comin' straight from the heart.
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.
CAN'T STOP THIS THING WE STARTED
You might stop a hurricane, Might even stop the drivin' rain. You might have a dozen other guys, But if you wanna stop me, baby, don't even try. I'm goin' one way, your way. It's such a strong way. Let's make it our way. CHORUS: Can't stop this thing we started, You gotta know it's right. Can't stop this course we've plotted. This thing called love, we got it, No place for the broken hearted. Can't stop this thing we started, No way, I'm goin' your way! You might stop the world spinnin' round, Might even walk on holy ground. I ain't superman and I can't fly, But if you want to stop me, baby, don't even try. I'm goin' one way, your way. It's such a strong way. Let's make it our way. CHORUS Ooh, why take it slow. I gotta know 'Cause nothin' can stop This thing that we got.
DO I HAVE TO SAY THE WORDS?
Rescue me from the mire, Whisper words of desire, Rescue me, darlin', rescue me. With your arms open wide Want you here by my side, Come to me, darlin', rescue me. When this world's closin' in, There's no need to pretend, Set me free, darlin', rescue me. I don't wanna let you go, So I'm standin' in your way. I never needed anyone Like I'm needin' you today. Do I have to say the words? Do I have to tell the truth? Do I have to shout it out? Do I have to say a prayer? Must I prove to you how good we are together? Do I have to say the words? Rescue me from despair, Tell me you will be there, Rescue me, darlin', rescue me. Every dream that we share, Every cross that we bear, Come to me, darlin', rescue me.
THIS TIME
I think about her all the time, She's my fantasy, An image burnin' in my mind, Callin' out to me While my imagination's runnin' wild, Things are gettin' clearer. CHORUS: This time, everything is alright, No way she's gonna get away. This time, everything is easy, Any day, I'm gonna make her mine. I've thought of every word I'd say, Give or take a few, But she turns and slowly walks away, What do I have to do? Hey, turn up your radio, There's something I want you to know. CHORUS It's hard to take 'Cause she's miles away And I've waited a long time, But the feelin's right, Darlin', one of these nights, Yeah, I'm gonna let you know.
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 ...
CUTS LIKE A KNIFE
Drivin' home this evenin', I coulda sworn we had it all worked out. You had this boy believin' Way beyond the shadow of a doubt. Then I heard it on the street, I heard you mighta found somebody new. Well, who is he, baby, Who is he, and tell me what he means to you. I took it all for granted, but how was I to know That you would be lettin' go. Now it cuts like a knife, But it feels so right. It cuts like a knife, But it feels so right. There's times I've been mistaken, There's times I thought I'd been misunderstood. So wait a minute darlin', Can't you see we did the best we could? This wouldn't be the first time things have gone astray, Now you've thrown it all away.
(EVERYTHING I DO ) I DO IT FOR YOU
Look into my eyes, you will see What you mean to me. Search your heart, search your soul And when you find me there, you'll search no more. Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for. You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for. You know it's true Everything I do I do it for you. Look into my heart, you will find There's nothin' there to hide. So take me as I am, take my life. I would give it all, I would sacrifice. Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for. I can't help it, there's nothin' I want more. You know it's true Everything I do I do it for you. There's no love like your love And no other could give more love. There's nowhere unless you're there All the time, all the way. Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for. I can't help it, there's nothin' I want more. I would fight for you, I'd lie for you, Walk the wire for you, yeah, I'd die for you. You know it's true Everything I do I do it for you.
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)
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.
HEAT OF THE NIGHT
I was caught in the crossfire Of a silent dream. One man's nightmare Is another man's dream. Pull the covers up high And pray for the mornin' light 'Cause you're livin' alone In the heat of the night. Met a man with a message From the other side, Couldn't take the pressure, Had to leave it behind. He said it's up to you, You can run or you can fight, (ya, that's right) Better leave it alone In the heat of the night. In the heat of the night They'll be comin' around, They'll be lookin' for answers, They'll be chasin' you down. In the heat of the night. (Where you're gonna hide when it all comes down, Don't look back, don't ever turn around) Had to pay the piper To call the tune, Said he'd be back someday, Said he'd back real soon. Pull the shades down low, You'll know when the time is right. When you're lyin' alone In the heat of the night.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME
Still feels like our first night together, Feels like the first kiss, It's gettin' better. baby, no one can better this. Still holdin' on, you're still the one. First time our eyes met, Same feelin' I get, Only feels much stronger, Wanna love you longer. You still turn the fire on. CHORUS: So if you're feelin' lonely, don't, You're the only one I ever want. I only wanna make it good, So if I love you a little more than I should Please forgive me, I know not what I do, Please forgive me, I can't stop lovin' you. Don't deny me, this pain I'm goin' through, Please forgive me if I need you like I do. Please believe me every word I say is true, Please forgive me, I can't stop lovin' you. Still feels like our best times are together, Feels like the first touch, Still gettin' closer, baby, can't get close enough, Still holdin' on, still number one. I remember the smell of your skin, I remember everything, I remember all your moves, I remember you. I remember the nights, ya know I still do. CHORUS One thing I'm sure of Is the way we make love And one thing I depend on Is for us to stay strong. With every word and every breath I'm prayin', That's why I'm sayin' Please forgive me, I know not what I do, Please forgive me, I can't stop lovin' you. Don't deny me, this pain I'm goin' through, Please forgive me if I need you like I do. Babe, believe me every word I say is true, Please forgive me if I can't stop lovin' you. Never leave me, I don't know what I'd do, Please forgive me, I can't stop lovin' you. Can't stop lovin' you. |
