Karla Bonoff 2집 - Restless Night (1977) by Karla Bonoff (보컬) on maniadb.com

Well, I wake up in the night now,
And don't you know I think of you?
It's the fire in your eyes,
It keeps on cutting through
There's nowhere I can run to,
Can't seem to lose the thought of you
I never really was a bad girl,
But you got me in trouble again.

Well, I used to walk a straight line,
I knew what I was doing all the time.
There was nothing that could move me,
I always held my ground.
But you got me where you want me,
And now you're always here to haunt me.
I never really was a bad girl
But you got me in trouble again

I still remember how it felt
When you put your arms around me
But if I thought that you would love me
I was blind

But you got me where you want me
And now you're always here to haunt me
I never really was a bad girl
But you got me in trouble again

Well, you think I would have learned by now,
And I'd keep away from you, somehow
Just like a little child,
I keep coming back for more.
But baby, when you called today,
Don't you know that I'll come out and play
I never really was a bad girl,
But you got me in trouble again.

Could it be that I just called you up that time
Cause he made me feel lonely
And we, I guess we knew it was a crime
But I knew you would hold me right
Your love I could never fight

CHORUS
Those restless nights
so warm and wild
His touch was ice
Your love was fire

I know everyone needs to feel they're loved
Maybe I asked for too much
Sometimes I really felt so pushed and shoved
But I never meant to hurt him at all
When I slipped you would break my fall

CHORUS

Maybe I'm a fool
But I just can't seem to settle down
Always thinking there's another star
Maybe that's the key
'Cause love is never really sound
And it's the only thing I can do
'Cause I wasn't very good at being true

And now I look back at all the broken dreams
And wonder if I could have changed them
I see that it was in the scheme of things
'Cause still, when I see your face
I know nothing will replace

CHORUS

Back there in your room, while you were gone
I found the pages that she wrote to you
My heart just froze, but I couldn't stop myself
I see what jealously can do

I see now it's true, well there has been somebody
Who's had a real hold on you
And here in this bed, I guess you must have held her
How strange I never knew

She wrote that you said
You needed her to face the world
I wish that it could all just be erased
I can't believe she could take my place

As you came up the stairs
You asked "Are you all right?"
"I'd better go" was all I said
But there in your room I saw something that
I really wish I never read

I can see a new expression on my face
I can feel a strange sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes
Every time that you walk in the room

I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want
Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant
I see a summer night with a magic moon
Every time that you walk in the room

Maybe it's a dream come true
Standing right along side of you
Wish I could show you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare

I can feel there's something pounding in my brain
Just anytime that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom
Every time that you walk in the room
Every time that you walk in the room
Every time that you walk in the room

Well, baby what ya trying to prove
By beinalone
And no one can get through to you
Is there anyone home?

CHORUS:

So don't say that it's love you lacked
I paid the price now we're paying the tax
I gave it all, and I got nothing back
Only a fool gives a heart like that

Well, I said that you never gave enough
And I know this is true
I see now that you never gave it up
So you'd have nothing to lose

REPEAT CHORUS

I know that I need you
And that made you scared
If I'd known how to reach you
But I'm giving up, it's too late to care

Well, I guess that it's really over now
This is where I belong
And baby you know it's kind of funny how
All the tears made me strong

REPEAT CHORUS

Chorus:
You're takin' all I got and now you're leaving
Uuh, Uuh, Huh, Baby don't go
I thought love was something to believe in
Uuh, Uuh, Huh, Baby don't go

I see it in your face
in your eyes - when you turn away
You think it's all a waste
you're going today

I won't pretend
I won't say it - won't hurt me bad
Won't you try it agaon
what ever happened - to all what we had

Chorus:
You're takin' all I got and now you're leaving
Uuh, Uuh, Huh, Baby don't go
I thought love was something to believe in
Uuh, Uuh, Huh, Baby don't go

Solo

Bridge:
Don't fight, just hold me tight
Everything is gonna work out right
I won't beg, but you heard what I said
I need you ev'ry day and night

Chorus:
You're takin' all I got and now you're leaving
Uuh, Uuh, Huh, Baby don't go
I thought love was something to believe in
Uuh, Uuh, Huh, Baby don't go

And if you close the door
I can't wish you well anymore
You really turned me on
So don't come running back
'cause I know you'll never see

Chorus:
You're takin' all I got and now you're leaving
Uuh, Uuh, Huh, Baby don't go
I thought love was something to believe in
Uuh, Uuh, Huh, Baby don't go

Like a bird she was wounded
A prisoner he found
He kept her beside him on the ground
She wanted him to release her
But he didnæ?° want her to fly
He had come to depend on seeing her cry

CHORUS
He cut her wings
But she could still sing
He didn't see he could never stop her heart

Just like in a cage he kept her
But inside she grew strong
And in some ways it was nice
to have a place to belong
But freedom called in its own way
soft moonlit nights in her thoughts
And the war raged on inside
that she always fought

CHORUS

Ah, the love that plays in the strangest ways
She felt his warm embrace like fire inside her
And when the day would break, it seemed
her heart would shake
But she knew he had her soul at stake

CHORUS

Like a bird she was wounded
A prisoner he found
But time was running out, he couldn't
keep her down
So one day he released her
Thinking that she wouldn't go
But how she was able to fly
was something he'd never know

CHORUS

I've been out on the road and
I've been in this town
Some people that I met were untrue
I've been out in the world and
now that I found

CHORUS
Loving you
Was the right thing to do
And it's loving you that keeps me around

Oh, baby when you hold me I can't tell a lie
I can always see myself in your eyes
But it doesn't really matter when
there's nothing to hide

CHORUS

I'll stay here
It's looking like all of my running days
are through
I'll stay here
There's nobody else like you

And if I'm feeling pain tomorrow and
I haven't a clue
Won't worry if the forecast is blue
'Cause no matter what the trouble,
you'll see it through

CHORUS

The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

Oh, love is gentle and love is kind
The sweetest flower when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew

There is a ship and she sails to sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim

The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
