I just don't know what to do with myself
Don't know just what to do with myself
I'm so used to doing everything with you
Planning everything for two
And now that we're through

I just don't know what to do with my time
I'm so lonesome for you it's a crime
Going to the movie only makes me sad
Parties make me feel as bad
When I'm not with you
I just don't know what to do

Like a summer rose
It needs the sun and rain
Oh, I need your sweet love
To beat all the pain

I just don't know what to do with myself
I just don't know what to do with myself
Baby, if your new love ever turns you down
Come back, I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do

Like a summer rose
It needs the sun and rain
Oh, I need your sweet love
To beat all the pain

I don't know just what to do with myself
I don't know just what to do with myself
Baby, if your new love ever turns you down
Come on back, I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do, no, no, no
I don't know what else to do
I'm still so crazy for you, no, no, no, no
I don't know what else to do, no, no, no
I'm still so crazy for you

I tried so hard
All summer through
Not to think too much of you
But the more i try
The more i find
I just can't leave the past behind

Times that are happy
Are times that are few
And once i was happy
When i had you

But days have come and gone
Since you were here
Nights are twice as long
Without you near
Pictures on my mind
Stand out so clear
No matter where i am
Or what i do
My darling
All i see is you

You're there in every dream
I ever dream
There at every place
I've ever been
Everyday i find
You're in my heart
And on my mind
I close my eyes
But i'm not blind
I see you still
And when i throw my arms out wide
I find that you're not by my side
But one thing is for sure
Until i do
All i see is you

Everyday i find
You're in my heart
And on my mind
I close my eyes
But i'm not blind
I see you still, oh

I won't live again
'til i'm with you
Oh, darling
I won't love again
Unless it's with you

So until the day
When you are back with me to stay
In every way
All i see is you

The night runs away with the day
The grass that was green is now hay
The world goes around without even a sound
And it looks like the summer is over
The rains tumble down in the sky
Young swallows have learned how to fly
The leaves that were green are no longer so green
And it looks like the summer is over
The sun and the moon take turns in the sky
The days drift on by too soon
The meadows are kissed by a cool autumn mist
Far away now is june
The birds fly away to the sun
The leaves touch the ground one by one
The breeze hurries by without even goodbye
And it looks like the summer is over
The sun and the moon take turns in the sky
The days drift on by too soon
The meadows are kissed by a cool autumn mist
Far away now is june
The birds fly away to the sun
The leaves touch the ground one by one
The breeze hurries by without even goodbye
And it looks like the summer is over
And it looks like the summer is over

Layin' about, lying in bed
Maybe it was somethin' i thought i said
With the tempo of the damned, the temptation of tomorrow
I don't know if i can give you anything but sorrow

They stay alive this late on radio five
But the pen that i write with won't tell the truth
But the moments that i care about are moments that i treasure
Better take another measure for pleasure

Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me

I count the pages of the letter i write
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
Tearin' up the sheets of love this hand could not disguise
I'll start to count again and close my eyes

Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me

Now you're here
I'm here too
Can be this easy for me and you

Now you're here
I'm here too
Be this easy for me and you

Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me

Layin' about, lying in bed
Could be something that i thought i said

You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
Don't say i can't go with other boys

And don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
And, please, when i go out with you
Don't put me on display

'cause, you don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down
'cause i'll never stay

I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So, just let me be myself
That's all i ask of you

I'm young and i love to be young
I'm free and i love to be free
To live my life the way that i want
To say and do whatever i please

And, don't tell me what to do, yeah
Don't, don't you tell me what to say
And, please, when i go out with you
Don't put me on display

I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So, just let me be myself
That's all i ask of you
I'm young and i love to be young
I'm free and i love to be free
To live my life the way that i want
To say

I stayed up cryin' all night (all night)
I knew the end was in sight (in sight)
And now you're walkin' out on me (on me)
You're wonderin' where the little tears can be (can be)
Well, baby....

I'm all cried out, i'm all cried out
All my little tears are all dried out, oh yeah
Now, that you say we're through
I'm all cried out over you

Last night i knew we were through (we're through)
It hurt 'cause i still loved you (loved you)
Went home and couldn't fall asleep (asleep)
'cause sleep just won't come into eyes that weep (that weep)
And that's why....

I'm all cried out, i'm all cried out
All my little tears are all dried out, oh yeah
Now that you say we're through
I'm all cried out over you, oh yeah

I'm all cried out
I just cant cry no more, no, no
No, no, no, no, oh
All cried out
And that's why....

I'm all cried out, yes i'm all cried out
All my little tears are all dried out, oh yeah
Now that you say we're through
I'm all cried out over you

Listen to me when i'm a-gonna say
I'm all cried out, yeah, over you
Listen to me when i'm a-tellin' you
I'm all cried out, yeah, over you
Over you

You gotta give me some
Give me some of your lovin'
You gotta give me some of your lovin'

Now I'm not a greedy girl
I don't need the world
(Just give me some)
Some of your lovin' now, oh, oh, oh, oh

Now I don't expect you to guarantee
Your faith and devotion to only me
I'm aware you got a lot of wild oats to sow
But baby when I need you
Don't you tell me no

You gotta give me some
(Give me some of your lovin')
Oh yes you do now
You gotta give me some of your lovin'

Now I'm not a jealous child
My demands are mild
(Just give me some)
Some of your lovin' now, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I know a man likes to feel that he's been around
Before he decides to settle down
I've no doubt
Some day you're gonna feel that way too
But baby, just remember
(Until you do)

You gotta give me some
(Give me some of your lovin')
Oh yes you do now
I mean to tell you
(You gotta give me some)
Of your lovin'

Now I'm not a greedy girl
I don't need the world
(Just give me some)
Some of your lovin' now, oh oh, oh, oh

You gotta give me some, some of your lovin'
I mean to tell you
(You gotta give me some of your lovin')
Oh, don't forget about me now
I mean to tell you, oh
Ah, you gotta give me some of your lovin'
Some of your lovin'

I don't know what it is
무엇이 당신을 그토록
that makes me love you so,
사랑하게 만든건지 모르겠어요.
I only know I never
당신을 결코 보내고 싶지 않다는
want to let you go
사실만 알고 있을 뿐이에요.


'Cause you started something
당신이 무언가를 시작했기
oh, Can't you see
때문이었단걸 모르시겠어요?
That ever since we met
우리가 만난 이래
You've had a hold on me
당신은 날 꼭 붙잡았고,
It happens to be true
그 일이 실현되고 만거죠
I only wanna be with you
오직 당신과 함께 있고 싶어요.


It doesn't matter
당신이 어디를 가든,
where you go or what you do
무엇을 하든 상관없어요.
I want to spend each moment
당신과 함께 하루의
of the day with you
매 순간을 보내길 원할 뿐이에요.


Look what has happened
단 한번의 입맞춤으로
in just one kiss
무슨 일이 일어났는지 보세요.
I never knew that
난 이렇게 사랑에 빠지지라곤
I could be in love like this
생각도 못해보았어요.
It's crazy but it's true
제정신이 아니지만, 사실이에요
I only wanna be with you
오직 당신과 함께 있고 싶어요.


You stopped and
당신이 다가와 미소지으며
smiled at me and asked me
춤을 추고 싶은지
if I'd cared to dance
나에게 물었지요.
I fell into your open arms
당신의 두 팔에 잡혀서
I didn't stand a chance
난 어쩔 수가 없었어요..


Now listen honey,
그대여, 이제 들어보세요.
I just wanna be
당신이 어디를 가든지
beside you everywhere
당신 곁에 있고 싶어요.
As long as we're together,
언제까지나 우리가 함께인 한,
honey I don't care
그대여 난 괜찮아요.


'Cause you started something
당신이 무언가를 시작했기
oh, can't you see
때문이었단걸 모르시겠어요?
That ever since we met
우리가 만난 이래
You've had a hold on me
당신은 날 꼭 붙잡았고,
No matter what you do,
그 일이 실현되고 만거죠.
I only wanna be with you
오직 당신과 함께 있고 싶어요.


I only wanna be with you
오직 당신과 함께 있고 싶어요.
only you
당신하고만 함께 있고 싶어요.
It's crazy but it's true
제정신이 아니지만, 사실이에요.
(I only wanna be with you)
(오직 당신과 함께 있고 싶어요.)

You stopped and
당신이 다가와 미소지으며
smiled at me and asked me
춤을 추고 싶은지
if I'd cared to dance
나에게 물었지요.
I fell into your open arms
당신의 두 팔에 잡혀서

I said,
난 말하죠.
no matter what you do
당신 무엇을 할지라도,
I only wanna be with you
오직 당신과 함께 있고 싶을 뿐이라고..

We acted like children
Now, don't tell me that you're sorry
Darling, I'm as much to blame as anyone
It's over and done
Baby, I'm so glad to have you home
Welcome home, my baby
Welcome home, my baby

And this time we'll make it
We'll give a love as well as take it
We'll let pride be something we have in our love
Not just in ourselves
Baby, it's so good to have you home
Welcome home, my baby
Welcome home, my baby

Into my arms
Into my heart
Into my life
Into my life
Forever

'Cause we acted just like children
Baby, forgive me
I said I'm sorry
I know I acted like a fool
Baby, baby, baby please don't take it out on me
Ooh, ooh
Baby, baby

It isn't the way that you look
And it isn't the way that you talk
It isn't the things that you say or do
Make me want you so

It is nothing to do with the wine
Or the music that's flooding my mind
But never before have i been so sure
You're the someone i dreamed i would find

It's the way you make me feel
The moment i am close to you
It's a feeling so unreal
Somehow i can't believe it's true
The pounding i feel in my heart
The hoping that we'll never part
I can't believe this is really happening to me

I close my eyes and count to ten
And when i open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but you're still here

We were strangers a moment ago
With a few dreams but nothing to show
The world was a place
With a frown on its face
And tomorrow was just, i don't know

But the way you make me feel
The moment i am close to you
Makes today seem so unreal
Somehow i can't believe it's true
Tomorrow will you still be here?
Tomorrow will come but i fear
That what is happening to me
Is only a dream

I close my eyes and count to ten
And when i open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but you're still here
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when i open them you're still here

When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you
But believe me I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and quite unreal
All that's left is loneliness there's nothing left to feel

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me

I think i'm goin' back
To the things
I learned so well
In my youth

I think i'm returning to
Those days
When i was young enough
To know the truth

Now there are no games
To only pass the time
No more colouring books
No christmas bells to chime

But thinking young
And growing older
Is no sin
And i can play
The game of life to win

I can recall the time
When i wasn't ashamed
To reach out to a friend
And now i think i've got
A lot more than
A skipping rope to lend

Now there's more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
And everyday can be
My magic carpet ride
And i can play hide and seek with my fears
And live my days instead of counting my years

Let everyone debate the true reality
I'd rather see the world the way it used to be
A little bit of freedom's
All we lack
So catch me if you can
I'm goin' back

Look of love

The look of love is in your eyes
당신의 눈 속엔 사랑스런 시선이 있죠
A look your smile can't disguise
당신의 웃음이 감출 수 없는...
The look of love is saying so much
더 많은 것을 말하는 당신의 그 눈빛
more than just words could ever say
어떤 말로 표현 할 수 있는 것보다
And what my heart has heard,
그리고 나의 마음이 들은 말들은
well it takes my breath away
나의 숨을 멎게 하네요

I can hardly wait to hold you,
느끼고 싶어 견딜 수가 없어요
feel my arms around you
당신을 안고 껴안은 팔의 감촉을
How long I have waited
내가 당신을 얼마나 오랫동안 기다렸던지
Waited just to love you,
당신을 사랑하기 위해서만 기다려왔죠
now that I have found you
내가 당신을 찾은 지금...
Don't ever go You've got the
떠나지 말아줘요

Look of love, it's on your face
당신의 얼굴에는 사랑의 시선이 있죠
A look that time can't erase
시간이 지워버릴 수 없는...
Be mine tonight,
오늘밤 나의 것이 되줘요
let this be just the start of
오늘밤처럼 보내죠
so many nights like this
그리고 앞으로 수많은 밤들을
Let's take a lover's vow and
사랑의 서약을하고
then seal it with a kiss
키스로 봉인을 해요

I can hardly wait to hold you,
느끼고 싶어 견딜 수가 없어요
feel my arms around you
당신을 안고 껴안은 팔의 감촉을
How long I have waited
내가 당신을 얼나 오랫동안 기다렸던지
Waited just to love you,
당신을 사랑하기 위해서만 기다려왔죠
now that I have found you
내가 당신을 찾은 지금...
Don't ever go
떠나지 말아줘요
Don't ever go

I love you so
당신을 너무나 사랑해요
I love you so
당신을 너무나 사랑해요

♡ (Prelude) ♡ 0010
If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young, and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the nightbird`s song

If you go away,
* if you go away,
** if you go away

But if you stay,
I`ll make you a day
Like no day has been
or will be again

We`ll sail on the sun,
we`ll ride on the rain
We`ll talk to the trees
and worship the wind
Then if you go, I`ll understand

Leave me just enough love to
fill up my hand
If you go away,
* if you go away,
** if you go away
*** If you go away,

(***France***) - start -
as I know you must
There`ll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room, full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go
I`ll be dying slowly `til the next hello?
If you go away,
* if you go away,
** if you go away(***France***) - end -

But if you stay,
I`ll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I`ll sail on your smile, I`ll ride on your touch
I`ll talk to your eyes that I love so much

Then if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
The home in my hand

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

If you go away
As I know you must
There'll be nothing left
In this world to trust
Just an empty room

Full of empty space
My empty look
I see on your face


Oh, I'd have been the shadow of your though

I though might have kept me
by on your side
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
Please don`t go away

(^*^) Maxmp3 (^*^)

How can i be sure?
In a world that's constantly changing
How can i be sure?
Where i stand with you

Whenever i
Whenever i am away from you
I wanna die
'cause you know i wanna stay with you

How do i know?
Maybe you're trying to use me
Flying too high can confuse me
Touch me, but don't take me down

Whenever i
Whenever i am away from you
My alibi is telling people
I don't care for you

Maybe i'm just hanging round
With my head up, upside down
It's a pity for you
I can't seem to find somebody new that's as
Wonderful baby as you

How can i be sure?
I really, really, really, wanna know
Really, really, wanna know , yeah

Also whether
Whether or not we're together
Together will seem that much better
I love you, i love you forever
You know where i can be found

How can i be sure?
In a world that's constantly changing
How can i be sure
I'll be sure with you?

Dear lord above
I swear that i
I will never love again
Unless i'm lovin' him
Oh, no, oh, oh, oh

He came to me
With a twinkle in his eye
And i fell for him
Yes, i fell for him
Took me by surprise
Unaware was i
Well i fell for him
Oh, i fell for him

If i ever needed help
I need it now
Ain't none of my so-called friends
Got the power
To make my tears go 'way
So on my knees i pray
That you bring his love my way

Dear lord above
I swear that i'll
Never, never love again
Oh, no-ho

I stare down at the eyes
And wipe the tears i cried
When i fell for him
Yes, i fell him
Gettin' next to me
Was all he wanted to see
Well goody-good for him
Goody-good for him

When my heart's in trouble
And my mind's in doubt
You're the only one who could ever work it out
And bring the sun back in my day
So on my knees i pray
That you send his love my way

Dear lord above
I swear that i
I will never love again
Unless i'm loving him
No i'll never, never, never, never, never, never, never gonna love again
Oh, yes i'm never, never, never , never, never, never, never gonna love again

Dear lord above
I swear that i'll
Never, never, never, never, love again
Unless i'm lovin' him
Said i'm never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never gonna love again

Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was



Bein' good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was (yes he was)

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was

(The only one who could ever reach me)
He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
(The only boy who could ever teach me)
Was the son of a preacher man

(The only one who could ever reach me)
Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
FADE

In the cool of the evening
When everything is getting kind of groovy
You call me up and ask me
Would i like to go with you and see a movie?
First i say no, i've got some plans for tonight
And then i stop and say all right
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you

You always keep me guessing
I never seem to know what you are thinking
And if a girl looks at you
It's for sure your little eye will be a-winking
I get confused, i never know where i stand
And then you smile and hold my hand
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you
Spooky

If you decide some day to stop this little game that you are a-playing
I'm gonna tell you all the things my heart's been a-dying to be saying
Just like a ghost you've been a-haunting my dreams
But now i know you're not what you seem
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you
Spooky

Ahh, ahh, spooky, mmm, spooky, ahh, ahh, ahh, spooky, ooh, spooky
Ahh, aah, aah, spooky

If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This love we shared
Would always be
There'd be no coming day
No morning light above
To make me realise our love
Is over

And now you walk away from me
And there's no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes
Against the sun that comes to warm the land
I watch you walk away somehow
I have to let you go now
It's over

It's too late to tell you how I feel
Our love was real
And yet, there are so many times
That people have to love and then forget
Though there might have been a way
I have to force myself to say
It's over

And so I walk away and turn my collar to the wind
I walk along in silence trying not to think at all
I put my feet before me
Walk the silent street before me
It's over

If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This love we shared would always be
There'd be no coming day
No morning light above
To make me realise our love
Is over

It's over
It's over
It's over

I walk where once the grass was green
And mourn the lark that sings no more
What bird could sing whose eyes have seen
Broken blossoms on the field of war?

And as they lie there in the sun
How unimportant now it seems
Just who has lost and who has won
When with them have died so many dreams

They dreamed that endless hate would end
Unceasing fear, one day, would cease
They dreamed that foe would turn to friend
And eternal war would turn to peace

But who can say how many more
Will join these young and hopeful men?
In fields they've never seen before
Far from fields they'll never see again

I wonder where you are, lovable lady
I wonder what you're thinking, beautiful woman
It seems like fog is settling in within your eyes
And the weight of something is pulling your shoulders down

Could it be you ask too much, lovable lady?
From a world that's out of touch, beautiful woman
So you're hammering at a door that will not open
And your beautiful soul is weeping

Better learn the way it goes
Oh, better share the pain that shows
You wanna transcend it in order to end it
But your loneliness grows

Ah, ha, do you hate yourself, lovable lady?
Can I be of help, beautiful woman?
Your silence is a wall between the two of us
And my beautiful soul is weeping
Oooooooooooh

The days are okay
I watch the T.V. in the afternoon
If I get lonely
The sound of other voices
Other rooms are near to me
I'm not afraid

The operator
She tells the time
It's good for a laugh
And there's always radio
And for a dime I can talk to God
Dial-a-prayer
Are you there?
Do you care?
Are you there?

And in the Winter extra blankets for the cold
Fix the heater, getting old
I am wiser now you know
And still as big a fool concerning you

I met your friend
She's very nice, what can I say?
It was an accident
I never dreamed we'd meet again this way
You're looking well
I'm not afraid, yeah

You have a lovely home
Just like a picture
No, I live alone
I found it easier
You must remember how I never liked the party life
Up all night
Lovely wife
You have a lovely wife

And in the Winter extra blankets for the cold
Fix the heater, getting old
You are with her now I know
I'll live alone forever, not together, now

And in the Winter extra blankets for the cold
Fix the heater, getting old
You are with her now I know
I'll live alone forever, not together,

Now you know me
You know how proud i am
And what i'm gonna tell you now
Won't be easy to say

Before i left your side
Ooh, i was so happy then
But i've been so lonely
Since i've been away
Oh, baby

I've tried and i know i can't make it alone
It's such a hard way to go
I just can't make it alone
There's something in my soul
That will always
Lead me back to you

What can i say now?
Sorry is just not good enough
I couldn't blame you if you hurt me now
The way i hurt you then

But who else can i turn to?
Oh, baby, i'm begging you
Won't you reach out for my dying soul?
And make me live again
Oh, baby, it's so hard

I've tried and i know i can't make it alone
It's such a hard way to go
I just can't make it alone
There's something in my soul
That will always
Lead me back to you

Baby, help me
I've tried and i know i can't make it alone
It's such a hard way to go
And i can't make it alone
There's something in my soul
That will always
Lead me back to you

Oh, help me
(please help me)
You know i need you
(i need you)
I'm saying that i need you
I just can't make it by myself
(i just can't make it by myself)
I just can't make it all alone
(i just can't make it all alone)
I just can't make it by myself
(i just can't make it by myself)
Come on baby

What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and south and east and west of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me

All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me

I want to see your face
In every kind of light
In fields of dawn
And forests of the night

And when you stand before the candles on the cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make

Those tomorrow's waiting deep in your eyes
And the world of love you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two

Through all of my life
Summer, winter, spring and fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you, ooh, ooh

You brush by me and my whole facade just melts
You seem a bit twisted but that makes me more intrigued
You drag yourself through a maze of alcohol and neon lies
Can't seem to hold on to your love

I'm sick of being submissive when i really want to scream
I know this is just a psychopathic dream
You leave me lying with my head in my hands
You've got blood in your eyes
Can't seem to understand your love

I'm not the vindictive kind, you bring that out in me
I've been inflicted with a lot of pain, you see

I'm so frustrated, want to tear my hair out
Can't seem to get a grip on your love

You deny me and my self-esteem just dies
You like to lash out when i dare to criticise
You drag yourself through a maze of drugs and alibis
Can't seem to understand your love
I want to shout it, want to shout it
Tear my hair out
I wanna swear up and down
Tear my hair out
Can't seem to understand your love

wanted you so
Wanted you to hold me tight
Take my love and treat me right

I needed your love so
But you're just the hurtin' kind
Nearly drove me out of my mind

Your hurtin' kinda love
Your hurtin' kinda love, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It left me crying

I'd never been blue
I never had to cry all day
Tryin' to wash the hurt away
But then I fell for you
Giving you the love I had
Just to have you treat me so bad

Your hurtin' kinda love
Your hurtin' kinda love, oh, oh, oh, oh
It left me crying

So, now you're with another love
It just may be your lover
Could be the one to do what you have
Done to me, yeah

I want you to know
Even though you broke my heart
I can make a brand new start
I'm so glad to see you go
You will bring me no more pain
I will never cry again

Your hurtin' kinda love
Your hurtin' kinda love, oh, oh
It's over, baby, yeah

Your hurtin' kinda love
Your hurtin' kinda love
Come on baby, take this hurt off me, yeah
Come on baby, take this hurt off me, yeah
Come on baby, take this hurt off me

Baby, if a wall of stone were built around your heart
Oh, don't you know, don't you know?
I would tear the wall apart
'cause nothing, nothing, nothing, i said no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you

If a sea of fire, it was surrounding you
Oh, don't you know, don't you know?
I would find a way to get through
Because nothing, nothing, nothing, i said no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you

I've been listening, baby
For one thing, one little thing that i wanna hear
Come on and tell me, come on tell me
Do you really, really, really, really want me here?
Because nothing, nothing, nothing, i said no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you

Yeah, i'm listening, baby
(nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you)

Yeah, i'm listening, baby
For one thing, for one little thing that i wanna hear
Come on and tell me, come on and tell me
Do you really, really, really, really want me here?
Because nothing, nothing, i said nothing, no, no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you
Oh, i said nothing, i said nothing, i said nothing, no, no, no, no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you
Yeah, yeah

It's me, it's me, oh, baby, it's me
Standing in the need of love
It's me, it's me, nobody but me
Standing in the need of love
Oh, standing in the need of love, yeah

You feel heartbeat
Keeping time
Oh, yeah

I feel your heart beat
And it's true to this heart of mine
Oh, yes it is
With your big eyes
You say more than a thousand words
Oh, yes you do
With your sweet kiss
You thrill me with a holy kind of bliss

So closer (closer)
Closer (closer)
Closer (closer)
Closer to this heart of mine
Oh, yeah

And it's true to this heart of mine

I wish i'd never loved you
I wish i'd never wanted you so much
And never thrilled to your touch
And i would not be lonely and crying
And hurting deep inside
Alone with a need that can't be satisfied
I wish i'd never loved you
I wish i'd never given you my heart
And watch you tear it all apart
And i would not be tortured, tormented and cheated
And surely my heart would not be broken in two
I saw you with another
I watched you hold her tenderly
And i could see as you kissed her
You'd never come back to me, oh
I wish i'd never loved you, mmm
I wish you'd never burned me with your kiss
Oh, how can i go on like this?
And i would not be tortured, tormented and cheated
How i wish i'd never loved you
And i could see as you kissed her
You'd never come back to me
Oh, i wish i'd never loved you
I wish you'd never burned me with your kiss
Oh, how can i go on like this?
And i would not be tortured, tormented and cheated
How i wish i'd never loved you
Oh, i wish i'd never loved you
How i wish i'd never, no, no, never
I'd never loved you

Where does our love lie?
In the middle of nowhere
Will it soon pass me by?
In the middle of nowhere

Baby, won't you tell me
What am i to do?
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Getting nowhere with you

Mmm, where did my heart land?
In the middle of nowhere
Where are the dreams i planned?
In the middle of nowhere

Listen to me baby
Listen to my plea
I'm in the middle of nowhere
And it's worrying me

Over and over again
You tell me you need my love
If what you say is true
Why can't we be together?

Over and over you tell me
I'm all that you're thinking of
Baby you know that i love you
But i can't wait forever

Where does our love lie?
In the middle of nowhere
How can you let it die?
In the middle of nowhere

Are you gonna leave me?
Leave my heart astray
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Come and show me the way

Over and over again
You tell me you need my love
Baby you know that i love you
But i can't wait forever

Where does our love lie?
In the middle of nowhere
How can you let it die?
In the middle of nowhere

Are you gonna leave me
And leave my heart astray
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Come and show me the way

Hey, where does out love lie?
Come on now
Where does our love lie?
Right slap in the middle of nowhere
Right slap in the middle of nowhere
Right slap in the middle of nowhere

Little by little by little by little by little
Little by little by little by little by little

You're messing up my life
Tearing me apart
Breaking up my world
And i'm giving up my heart
Little by little by little by little

I'm losing all my pride
It's really getting bad
Hurting deep inside
Is a-making me go mad, ooh
Little by little by little by little

Little by little
Bit by bit
I'm going crazy and you're causing it
Little by little
Bit by bit
I should stop caring
But my love won't quit

Little by little by little by little by little, yeah
Little by little by little by little by little, all right

I don't know where to turn
Don't know what to do
I'm walking on thin ice
And it seems i'm falling through, ooh
Little by little by little by little

Little by little
Bit by bit
I'm going crazy and you're causing it
Little by little
Bit by bit
I should stop caring
But my love won't quit

I'm the queen of fools
Know the deck is stacked
On a losing streak
But i'm a-gonna get you back

Little by little by little by little
(little by little by little by little by little)
Yeah, little by little
(little by little by little by little by little)
Ah, ah, ah, little by little
(little by little by little by little by little)
Little by little, mmm
(little by little by little by little by...)

Baby, if wishes could be kisses
And dreams could make you mine
I wouldn't be a-sitting here
Wasting all this time
No, no, baby, if you call me
I'd race down the street
I'd be there so fast
You'd think i had wings on my feet
Oh, baby, if wishes could be kisses
I'd wish with all my mind
I wouldn't have to make believe
I'm in your arms tonight

No, no, baby
I could thrill you if you'd let me try
We'd take off together
And we'd tell this world goodbye

But i know it just can't be
Unless you feel the same as me, oh, yeah-heah
Baby, if wishes could be kisses
Then i'd be first in line
If i'm not wrong it won't take long
'til you're my valentine

Oh, oh, baby, if you hear me
Make me know you do
If i'm lucky i'll find out
That you've been wishing too
A-come on, baby
A-come on, baby
If wishes could be kisses, oh, yeah
Oh, if wishes could be

Woah, baby, if you hear me
Make me know you do
If i'm lucky i'll find out
That you've been wishing too
A-come on, baby
Woah, come on, baby
If wishes could be kisses, now, yeah
If wishes could be kisses, yeah

I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
When I tell him that I'm through
Yes, I'm through with him
'Cause he's been running round
And I got to, to put him down
I can't wait to see the look
The look in his eyes

I wonder if he'll cry
When I tell him this is goodbye, yes it is
Or will he try to change my mind
And make me stay? yeah

Or will he turn around
And, with a smile on his face
Just walk away?
Just walk away

I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
Gotta find out what I mean
What I mean to him
'Cause just one tear is all he's got to, to shed for me
And I know that l will run, yes I'll run to him
I'll hold him tight
Never, never let him go, no-o-o

And I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
You know, I just can't wait until I see my baby's, baby's face
You know, I just can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
I can't wait until I

If you'll only give me time
All the heartache that he left behind
Will fade from my mind
I'll be free to love again

If you'll only give me time
I'll forget i even knew his name
Forget that he came
I'll be no good till i can
Try to understand
But when i'm sure i need him no more
That's when i'll reach out for your hand

So darling give me time
And you will see that i'm
Ready to love you
Just as you love me
Wait awhile
'til i can find my smile
And i'll be yours for as long as i live
If you'll only give me time, yeah

So darling give me time
And you will see that i'm
Ready to love you
Just as you love me, oh
Wait awhile
'til i can find my smile
And i'll be yours for as long as i live
If you'll only give me time

Just like a ship sailing out, on a mornin' tide
Sailing far away out to sea and the sea is very wide
You walked away where there's lots of room to hide
Out into the world and the world is very wide
But one day, (baby, one day), baby, one day

[Chorus: ]
I will come to you if it takes everyday left in my life
I will come to you for there must be someone in my life
No matter where you are
I'll find you near or far
Or I will never love 'til I can love with you
And I won't really live
For life without you is like dying

Don't know where you are
And I don't know if you think of me
But where you are
Is the only place I want to be
Lost in a world of nothing much to do
That's how I am ever since losing you
But one day, (baby, one day), oh, baby, one day

[Chorus: ]

(I will come to you, ooh, ooh)
There must be someone in my life
(I will come to you, ooh, ooh)
(I will come to you, ooh, ooh)
Oh baby, there must be someone in my life, baby
(I will come to you, ooh, ooh)
Oh, everyday left in my life

Sweet ride
Give up, you won't survive
You'll never get out alive
This world won't let you
I bet you
And if it did
What's it gonna get you?
What counts is a-how you feel inside

Girls, love's the sweet ride, mmm
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet ride

You'd better hang loose
Don't come undone
It's better to walk than run
Each day is just something to glide on
And each night's made to slip and slide on
What counts is a-how you feel inside

Girls, love's the sweet ride
It's such a sweet, sweet ride
Yeah, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet ride
Sweet, it's such a sweet, sweet ride, yeah

Hang loose
Don't come undone
It's better to walk than run
Each day is just something to glide on
And each night's made to slip and a-slide on
What counts is a-how you feel inside

Girls, love's the sweet ride
Love's such a sweet, sweet ride
Mmm, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet , sweet, sweet ride
Sweet, such a sweet, sweet ride
Yeah, it's such a sweet, sweet ride
You'd better hang lose
You'll never survive
'Cause love is such a sweet, sweet ride
Sweet, such a sweet, sweet ride
Sweet

Goodbye, bye, bye, bye
Is all he said to me
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye
Is all he said to me

I should have known
When I looked into his eyes
He wasn't serious
I should have seen through his disguise
He led me to believe
That he would never leave
And I thought that I blew his mind

He said goodbye, bye, bye, bye
Is all he said to me
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Is all he said to me

I sure get discouraged
When I think of what a fool I've been
I don't know where he's at

And I don't know where he's been
So how can he leave me?
Hurt and deceive me
When I make a mistake
This is all he had to kept on saying

Goodbye, bye, bye, bye
Is all he said to me
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye
Is all he said to me, mmm

So how can he leave me?
Hurt and deceive me
When I make a mistake
This is all he had to kept on saying

Goodbye, ye, ye, ye
Is all he said to me
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye
Is all he said to me, yeah, ooh, ooh
Goodbye, bye, goodbye, bye
I said goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye,
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

Well, I told you not to fall in love
I ain't the kind you can tie down
You went and did it anyway
As though I'd done you harm

Each time I went reachin' out
That's when you let go
Now don't try to pretend
That you didn't know

If you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Come on baby, set me free
I got to be free

If you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Butterflies are meant to fly
I got to be free
Sometimes like butterflies
Oh, yeah, ooh, baby, baby, ahh, yeah

Well I told ya right from the beginning
I couldn't stay for too long - that I had to go
Now, it's not because it's in my heart
Baby, I don't love you
Just because I'm meant to be
I'm meant to be free

'Cause if you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Come on baby, set me free
I got to be free

'Cause if you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Butterflies are meant to fly
I got to be free
Sometimes like butterflies

No, it's not because it's in my heart
Oh, I don't love you
It's only that I'm meant to be
I'm meant to be free

'Cause if you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me, baby
Let me fly, fly, fly, fly
I got to be free

Oh, baby
Love me, love me, love me, baby
Let me fly, fly, fly
I got to be free

Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Oh, oh, baby
Love me, love me, love me, baby
Set me free
Oh, baby

If you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Come on baby, set me free
I got to be free, oh

'Cause if you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Butterflies are meant to fly
I got to be free

'Cause if you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Come on baby, set me free
I got to be free

I would be your water when your thirsty mouth was dry
I would be your sunshine when clouds are in the sky
I would stand that close beside you
And be your only friend
And I have promised love forever
There will be no end

Ooh, hoo, I'll be faithful
Ooh, hoo, I'll be true, too
Ooh, hoo, I'll be faithful, yes I will now
Ooh, hoo, oh my, true to you

Now I would be your music if you would like a song
I would sleep beside you when the winter's cold and long
I would be the pole to guide you, never would I bend
And I have promised love forever
There will be no end

Ooh, hoo, I'll be faithful, oh, yeah
Ooh, hoo, I'll be true too, mmm
Ooh, hoo, I'll be faithful, oh, yeah
Ooh, hoo, oh my, true to you, ooh, hoo

I have promised love forever
There will be no end

Ooh, hoo, I'll be faithful, oh, yeah
Ooh, hoo, I'll be true, too
Ooh, hoo, I'll be faithful, yes I will
Ooh, hoo, oh my, true to you

Ooh, hoo, once love was a fire
That came and lit my way
I felt the fire die about a month ago
And now I look at my man
And I know he's goin' away

And now, I want that man
Mmm, I need that man
And I got to get back into his heart
I said love shine down on me
Love shine down on me
Love shine, light my way back into his heart

I, I stood beside him
When nobody else, nobody wanted to
Well I've been down, yes I have
But I've never, never been broken
'Til the day that he told me
The sweet lovin' life was through

I said, I want that man
Ooh, I need that man
And I got to get back into his heart
I said love shine down on me
Love shine down on me
Love shine, light my way back into his
Love shine
Oh, love shine
I said shine, shine, shine
Oh, down on me
I want it, yes, I need it
Oh, ho, oh, ho
I said love shine down on me
Love shine, light my way back into

Oh, ho
He rode into Virginia
Rollin' thunder, ridin' high
I was servin' table
Waitin' for that ride

My arms around his body
Well, we rode a thousand miles
He taught me how to love
He taught me how to fly, oh, ho, my

Hungry together
Racin' the weather
Into the Natchez Trace
Warmin' and feedin' him
All the way to Cumberland, oh, ho, yes

And I had his child in Memphis
And we watched him ride away
And now you know what a girl like me
Is doin' here today
I'm sorry mister, you can't stay

Hungry together
Racin' the weather
Into the Natchez Trace
Warmin' and feedin' him
All the way to Cumberland, oh, ho, yes

And when the piper gets to play
Somebody's got to pay
And now you know what a girl like me
Is doin' here today
Oh, I'm sorry mister, you can't stay
I'm sorry mister, you can't stay

Hungry together
Racin' the weather
Into the Natchez Trace
Warmin' and feedin' him
All the way to Cumberland, oh

When the piper gets to play
Somebody's got to pay
And now you know what a girl like me
Is doin' here today
Oh, I'm sorry mister, you can't stay
I'm sorry mister, you can't stay, oh, ho, ho, ho
Sorry mister, you can't stay
Sorry mister, you can't stay, no
Sorry mister, you can't stay, oh, ho, ho, ho
Sorry mister, you can't stay
Sorry mister, you can't stay, no
Sorry mister, you can't stay, oh
Sorry mister, sorry mister

Ahh, yeah, baby
Just a-listen to me now
You may not bring me your love
But you bring me your
Sweet inspiration
Yeah, you do
Sweet new creation
Flows from my fingertips
Each time I kiss your lips

You may not give me your heart
But you give me such
Sweet thoughts and music
Please don't refuse it
All that I offer you
Is all that's due to
Someone who could make the stormy skies
Forever blue
Who can turn the snow to summer sun
The wake-up frost to morning dew

You may not bring me your love
But you bring me your sweet inspiration
Stay around a little while
Let me see you laugh
Let me see you smile
Turn me onto everything you might be
Oh, baby, to me

Sweet inspiration
Oh, yeah
Sweet inspiration, ooh
Mmmm

You may not realise everything you mean to me
Two children playing in the sun
Learning to be free
Oh, oh

You may not bring me your love
But you bring me your
Sweet thoughts and music
Come on
Please don't refuse it
All that offer you
Is all that's due to
Someone who could make the stormy skies
Forever blue
Who can turn the snow to summer sun
The wake-up frost to morning dew, oh, oh, oh, baby

You may not bring me your love
But you bring me your
Sweet inspiration
Yeah, you do
Sweet new creations
Fall from my fingertips
The time I kiss your lips

Sweet inspiration
Come on baby, can't you see now?
Come on baby, oh yes
Sweet inspiration
Give me your sweet inspiration

And I am your child
Wherever you go
You take me too
Whatever I know
I learned from you
Whatever I do
You taught me to do
I am your child
And I am your chance

Whatever will come
Will come from me
Tomorrow is won
By winning me
Whatever I am
You taught me to be
I am your hope
I am your chance
And I am your child

Whatever I am
You taught me to be
I am your hope
I am your chance
And I am your child

Out of nowhere into sight
Out of darkness into light
You come running pushing time
Out of reason
Out of rhyme
Bits and pieces of your past
Cling like shadows to your heels
And your heart is learning fast
How it feels

With your secrets in your eyes
And your feelings in disguise
You come running in your fright
Seeking shelter from the night
And you search each passing face
For a sign someone could care
But they rush by in their race
To nowhere

And you watch and wonder where you belong
And the crowd, it moves and takes you along
And the colours splash and repaint your sky
And reality is yours to deny
And you look for someone your arms can hold
Who will let you tell what begs to be told
Then you ask yourself what good are your dreams?
In a world where nothing is what it seems

Bits and pieces of your past
Chill your soul like winter rain
But the time will come at last
When a love will ease your pain
If you let me I will try
If you let me I'll be near
If you let me when you cry
I will hear

Oh, oh and you watch and wonder where you belong
And the crowd, it moves and takes you along
And the colours splash and repaint your sky
And reality is yours to deny
And you look for someone your arms can hold
Who will let you tell what begs to be told
And you ask yourself what good are your dreams?
In a world where nothing is what it seems

And you watch and wonder where you belong
And the crowd, it moves and takes you along
And the colours splash and repaint your sky
And reality is yours to deny
And you look for someone that your arms can hold
Who will let you

I'm not as crazy as I used to be
Some of my devils upped and left me free
To find a quiet space
I'm not as out of place

I'm not as lonely as I was before
I don't go in 'less there's an open door to leave by
I'm starting to believe my own existence has a right to be

And I'm comin' home again
It's been too long a time
Gettin' back what's mine
And I can't remember why I went away
But it's lookin' now like maybe I can stay

The poets cried for dreams they never saw
The only certainty is nothin's sure
And most things stay the same
Or go back where they came

And though my answers still are undefined
By takin' chances I can start to find some reasons
Somethin' to believe in
I can make it through
I can make it through

And I'm comin' home again
It's been too long a time
Gettin' back what's mine
And I can't remember why I went away
But it's lookin' now like maybe I can stay

Oh, and I'm comin' home again
It's been too long a time
Gettin' back what's mine
And I can't remember why I went away
But it's lookin' now like maybe I can stay
