If I said what's on my mind You'd turn and walk away Disappearing way back in your dreams
It's so hard to be unkind So easy just to say That everything is just the way it seems
You look up at me And somewhere in your mind you see A man I'll never be
If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am And it gets harder every day for me To hide behind this dream you see A man I'll never be
I can't get any stronger I can't climb any higher You'll never know just how hard I've tried
Cry a little longer And hold a little tighter Emotions can't be satisfied
You look up at me And somewhere in your mind you see A man I'll never be
If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am And it gets harder every day for me To hide behind this dream you see A man I'll never be
Can't get any stronger And I can't climb any higher You'll never know just how hard I've tried
Cry a little longer And hold a little tighter Emotions can't be satisfied
You look up at me And somewhere in your mind you still see A man I'll never be
If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am And it gets harder every day for me I can't keep hidin' this feeling
Well come on, all you people, the time has come to get together You gotta have a little rock 'n' roll music To get you through the stormy weather And do whatever you feel When you let go, nothin's gonna help you more than rock 'n' roll
Chorus: So come on, put your hands together You know it's now or never, take a chance on rock 'n' roll
Ooo are you feelin' satisfied, come on let us give your mind a ride Ooo are you ready tonight, come on let us give your mind a ride It's up to you, you can do what you like Come on let us give your mind a ride
Oh that funky feelin' is what you need to get you through You oughta know I'll tell you somethin' Don't let your troubles get to you 'Cause win or lose it's alright Well take control and nothin's gonna help your more than rock 'n' roll
chorus
Ooo are you feelin' satisfied, come on let us give your mind a ride Ooo are you ready tonight, come on let us give your mind a ride It's up to you, you can do what you like Come on let us give your mind a ride
Well you know I don't get off on workin' day after day I wanna have some fun while I'm here I play the game when it's goin' my way And there's nothin' like a party when it's kickin' into gear
I'm gettin' ready for a party tonight Yes I'm gettin' ready to cruise And if you've got somethin' for me I've got somethin' for you
Baby It's a party and nobody cares What we're doin' there Baby, it's a party as long as you're there It's a party, party, party!
I can't believe it when some people say That it's a sin that way we live to die You know, there's never been a more natural thing Yea there's a brand new story, but it's the same old lie
So come on Get ready for the time of your life 'Cause I'm gettin' right in the groove And if you've got somethin' for me I've got somethin' for you
Baby It's a party and nobody cares What we're doin' there Baby, it's a party as long as you're there It's a party, party, party!
Yea yea yea yea get down and party if you need a cue You're sure to find one in the crowd Just meet some friends and have a toke or two In a place where they can never play the music too loud
Get ready for a party tonight 'Cause I'm gettin' right in the groove And if you've got somethin' for me I've got somethin' for you
Baby It's a party and nobody cares What we're doin' there Baby, it's a party as long as you're there It's a party, party, party!
You know a man doesn't live on bread alone He's got to have some lovin' each and every night And a woman's got to have it if the truth be known Let's get together honey, it's alright
Just let me hear it from your lips It's the last thing that I'll ask you to say Don't wanna hear it from strangers If it's over let me have it straight
I've been used, but I'm takin' it like a man I'm confused, but I'm doin' the best that I can
Chorus: I've been tossed around plenty before I've had this heart of mine broken and more I can't find me a reason for sure But I've gotten used to bad news (can't find me a reason for sure)
Don't tell me why, yes it's over I can see the end But please don't lie if you're leavin' me like a friend
I've been tossed around plenty of times And I've read between all the lines You're just another in the grand design And I've gotten used to bad news
I know what you're sayin' is bad It's not what I wanted but I'm ready for that I'm ready for that, yea
I've been used, but I'm takin' it like a man I'm confused, but I'm doin' the best that I can
Now if you're thinkin' 'bout a love that left you Thinkin' you should hide away Girl I think it's wrong You just try to be strong now babe Listen to what I've got to say I know the feelin' that you feel today
But don't be afraid of love
Tell you how I feel about you Tell you what you want to hear Tell you that it's true But it's all up to you now babe Don't let your love disappear Can't believe that I'll be stayin' here
But don't be afraid of love
Baby don't you know good love is hard to find Don't you think I know what's goin' through your mind One man left you cryin' so you shut the door Just let me inside that's what my love is for
Tell you how I feel about you Tell you what you want to hear Tell you that it's true But it's all up to you now babe Don't let your love disappear Can't believe that I'll be stayin' here
Don't look back ? a new day is breakin' It's been too long since I felt this way I don't mind where I get taken The road is callin' ? today is the day
I can see it took so long just to realize I'm much too strong not to compromise Now I see what I am is holding me down I'll turn it around
I finally see the dawn arrivin' I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
It's a bright horizon and I'm awakin' now Oh I see myself in a brand new way The sun is shinin'? the clouds are breakin' 'Cause I can't lose now ? there's no game to play
I can tell there's no more time left to criticize I've seen what I could not recognize Everything in my life was leading me on But I can be strong
I finally see the dawn arrivin' I see beyond the road I'm drivin' Far away and left behind
Don't look back ? a new day is breakin' It's been too long since I felt this way I don't mind where I get taken The road is callin' ? today is the day

Hey I've got no place to be And no one I'd rather see I won't mind if you can find The time to stay with me I've got no time for wasting I've got to live my life while I can I won't hide if you decide To let me be your man
Cause when I get close to you, not much to say I get that same old feeling I had in my younger days
And I can show you the way It's just a game we play It's easy, taking it day by day
Hey You know I would concede And I think we both agree You and I can testify That love is what we need Just take a look around you, living for the future is blind I believe what we can achieve will soon be left behind
The things that I try to say are so hard to find When you doubt what your life is about let me ease you mind
And I can show you the way It's just a game we play It's easy, taking it day by day
It's Easy
Hey I've got no place to be And no one I'd rather see I won't mind if you should find That you're in love with me We've got no time to worry We've got to live our lives while we can I won't hide if you decide To let me be your man
Cause when I get close to you, not much to say I get that same old feeling I had in my younger days
And I can show you the way It's just a game we play It's easy, taking it day by day Ooooh, It's easy, taking it day by day

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone Turned on some music to start my day I lost myself in a familiar song I closed my eyes and I slipped away
It's more than a feeling when I hear that old song they used to play I begin dreaming 'till I see Marianne walk away I see my Marianne walkin' away
So many people have come and gone Their faces fade as the years go by Yet I still recall as I wander on as clear as the sun in the summer sky
It's more than a feeling when I hear that old song they used to play I begin dreaming 'till I see Marianne walk away I see my Marianne walkin' away
When I'm tired and thinking cold I hide in my music forget the day and dream of a girl I used to know I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away
It's more than a feeling when I hear that old song they used to play I begin dreaming 'till I see Marianne walk away
Now if you're thinkin' 'bout a love that left you Thinkin' you should hide away Girl I think it's wrong you just try to be strong now babe Listen to what I've got to say I know the feelin' that you feel today
