Bonnie Raitt [보컬]

Your sweet and shiny eyes
Are like the stars above Laredo
Like meat and potatoes
To me

In my sweet dreams we are
In a bar
And it's my birthday
Drinking salty marguaritas with Fernando

Young and wild
We drove 900 miles of Texas highway
To the Mexican border
As the day was comin' on

We crossed the Rio Grande River
And we swore we'd have things our way
When we happened to walk in to Nuevo Leon

Your sweet and shiny eyes
Are like the stars above Laredo
Like meat and potatoes
To me

In my sweet dreams we are
In a bar
And it's my birthday
And we're having our picture taken
With Fernando

I don't have to beg you to hold me,
somebody else will.
You don't have to love me when I want it,
no, 'cause somebody else will.
Some kind friends say you don't need it -
but all the time they're trying to get it.
Look out
your good thing is about to come to an end,
your real good thing is about to come to an end.

All those nights I watched the four walls
I did not have to watch them all alone
when other men said thay wanted me, baby,
I didn't have to tell them I was your very own
You have all the love that I've got
even ice melts to water and gets hot - look out -
your good thing is about to come to an end,
your real good thing its about to end

Getting myself back together
is gonna be a big problem I know,
but when the right man says he wants me, Boy,
you can bet I won't tell him no
'Cause your real good thing is about to come to an end
Your real good thing
your good thing Baby
good thing
Your good thing
Your good thing Baby
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Girls, you've been in love too long
I said girls, you've been in love too long
When just his smile takes all your pain away
And you find yourself believin' whatever he may say
Now when he gets you cryin'
But your heart tells you Girl keep right on tryin'
You know Girls, you've been in love too long

(You're a fool for your baby)
Girls, you've been in love too long
(You're a fool for your baby)

When you accepted wrongs, just to share his kiss
Even your lonely nights, you know they're filled with happiness
You know Girl you're in trouble
You know your...heart is seein' double

Cuz when you're head tells you to run
But your heart tells you "Girl he's the only one..."
You know you have…been in love too long

Cuz when a week of loneliness can be erased with just one sweet caress
Girl...you've been in love too long
When his wrong looks right…though he always treats you bad
You find little excuses for all the sadness and abuses

You came up on me like a landslide
Once in a while I get taken like that and I like it
I've got a Thunderbird parked right outside
Give me a minute to finish this thing and we'll light it

In all this heat it's a job keepin' cool
And I could fry an egg on you

You came up on me like a landslide
Once in a while I get taken like that and I like it

You're gonna get what's comin'
You been asking for it two days running
You're gonna get what's comin'
You're gonna get what's comin'to you

I hope that you're half as intrepid as you make out
Often or not, but you never got what you asked for
Keep on pouring until you hear me shout
And turn up the sound if you want me to drive any faster

Caution went out when you walked in the room
If it never came back it would be too soon.

You're gonna get what's comin
You been askin' for it two days runnin'
You're gonna get what's comin'
You're gonna get what's comin' to you

You came upon me like a landslide,
Once in a while I get taken like that and I like it

You're gonna get what's comin',
You been askin' for it two days runnin'
You're gonna get what's comin'
You're gonna get what's comin' to you

'told me baby,
You were just too tired to try,
There was nothing left for you to give
And no more tears to cry.

I know she hurt you,
But you know I've been hurt too.
You just come to me, we'll see
What a love can do.

'told me baby,
I was still too young to know,
All the ways that love was going to drag you down,
And just how low I'd go.

In love and time between us,
Makes no difference at all.
You know, You're as desperate to get back up,
As I am not to fall.

Oh, baby, I've been looking for a man like you...
Oh, darling,
After all we've been through
There's no one left to fool;
Nothing left for us to do,
except me and you.

'told me baby,
To find somebody new.
Do you really think that I'd come this far,
Just to lose a man like you?

You know you've got to take a chance,
If only you will stay.
And if you've got the time baby, I've got the love,
We might just find a way
We might just find a way
We might just find a way
We might just find a way

'told me baby,
You were just too tired to try,
There was nothing left for you to give
And no more tears to cry.

I know she hurt you,
But you know I've been hurt too.
You just come to me, we'll see
What a love can do.

You can make me do what you wanna do
But you got to know how,
You can make me cry, you can make me sigh,
But you got to know how,
You can make me do like this, you can make me do like that,
Woh, baby, but you got to know how.

Once a pal of mine stole a guy of mine,
But I got him back, now,
It's the same old song, she couldn't keep him long,
'Cause she didn't know how.
Well, I love my man, I make him holler,
Woh, my,
Yessir, I really know how.

Technique ain't tough, if you care enough,
You can learn to know how,
I might drop a hint how to strike my flint
If you yearn to know how,
Well, don't tell me about the life you led,
Don't try to drink me into bed,
No, baby, no, that ain't the way how.

You got to take your time, you know it ain't no crime
If it lasts all night.
I think you'll be ideal when you begin to feel
That you're doin' right.

When you love me right, you hear me holler,
Woh, my,
Yessir, when you really know how.

And if you stay with me, who knows how it will be
When we finally know how,
We'll get a house in town, no need to move around
When we really know how,
Well, there's tricks that I don't even know,
Ones we'll make up as we go.
Woh, mister, when we really know how.
Yes, mister, when we really know how.

You can make me do what you wanna do
But you got to know how,
You can make me cry, you can make me sigh,
But you got to know how,
You can make me do like this, you can make me do like that,
Woh, baby, but you got to know how.

Nobody else could make me happy
No one could hurt me like you do
You were the only one That mattered

Then you were gone...Love had moved on
Left me alone thinking of...

You...There was never any other
You...and I were created to be true

Isn't it Love that keeps us breathing
Isn't it love we're sent here for
Wasn't that love that we were feeling
(That was something baby)

Deep in our soul...Deeper than we know
Keeping me holding out for

You...There was never any question
You'll be forever on my mind

You and I, we were meant to be together
True hearts in a world where love is dyin'

And I might as well have been dyin' when
We were apart
When you came back I felt the beating of my heart

You...There was never any question
You'll be forever on my mind
You and I, we were meant to be together
You...and only you

It was you...only you
You...Always you

Nobody else could make me happy
No one could hurt me like you do
You were the only one That mattered

Then you were gone...Love had moved on
Left me alone thinking of...

You...There was never any other
You...and I were created to be true

Isn't it Love that keeps us breathing
Isn't it love we're sent here for
Wasn't that love that we were feeling
(That was something baby)

Deep in our soul...Deeper than we know
Keeping me holding out for

You...There was never any question
You'll be forever on my mind

You and I, we were meant to be together
True hearts in a world where love is dyin'

And I might as well have been dyin' when
We were apart
When you came back I felt the beating of my heart

You...There was never any question
You'll be forever on my mind
You and I, we were meant to be together
You...and only you

It was you...only you
You...Always you

When you get home baby
Write me a few of your lines
When you get home little baby
Write me a few of your lines
That'll be consolation
Lord Honey oh my worried mind

Left my baby
Standin' in the backdoor cryin'
Well I left my little baby
Standing in the backdoor cryin'
I never felt so sorry
Lord Honey till he said goodbye

Kokomo me baby
Kokomo me right
Kokomo your mama,
She'll be back tomorrow night
I'd like to cry in your arms tonight
Baby don't you wanna go?
Right on to Lemon Light City
Sweet home Kokomo

Go on down to the river baby
Goin' to sit down on the ground
Well I'm goin' down to the river baby
Goin' to sit down on the ground
And let the way of the water
Lord Honey wash my troubles down

Kokomo me baby
Kokomo me right
Kokomo your mama,
She'll be back tomorrow night
I gotta cry with you baby
Baby don't you wanna go?
Right on to Lemon Light City
Sweet home Kokomo

Wounded heart I cannot save you from yourself
Though I wanted to be brave, it never helped.
‘Cause your trouble's like a flood raging through your veins
No amount of love's enough to end the pain

Tenderness and time can heal a right gone wrong,
but the anger that you feel goes on and on.
And it's not enough to know that I love you still
So I'll take my heart and go for I've had my fill

If you listen you can hear the angel's wings
Up above our heads so near they are hovering
Waiting to reach out for love when it falls apart
When it cannot rise above a wounded heart.

When it cannot rise above a wounded heart.

Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man
Don't sit around gossiping, explaining what your good man really can do
Some women nowadays, Lord they ain't no good
They will laugh in your face, Then try to steal your man from you
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man

Your best girlfriend, she might be a highbrow, she changes clothes 3 times a day
What do you think she's doing now, while you're so far away
She's loving your man in your own damn bed
You better call for the doctor, mama, try to investigate your head
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man

Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man
Don't sit around, girl, telling all your secrets,
telling all those good things he really can do
If you talk about your baby, you tell me he's so fine
Lord honey, I just might sneek up and try to make him mine
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man

Don't be no fool, don't advertise your man (baby don't do it)

As simple as breathing, I picture your face
All tangled in daydreams, and she'll live with grace
I feel you beside me, again

Wherever you may be
Lift up your head for me
There's somewhere in my heart, only for you

If I must do without, I'll let these sparks fly out
Across the wilderness, from me to you
Certain as sunrise, your image unwinds
Your clearer than crystal, you fill up my mind
Now I have you by my side

Wherever you may be
Lift up your head for me
There's somewhere in my heart, only for you

Though continents divide, and lonely thoughts collide
All heaven will allow, no distance now
I can always close my eyes, take your abstance by surprise
Hold my breath and make peace
)
As simple as breathing, I picture your face
All tangled in daydreams, she'll live in grace
There's somewhere in my heart only for you
If I must do without, I'll let these sparks fly out
Across this wilderness, from me to you

Wherever you may be (Wherever you may be)
Lift up your head for me (Lift up your head)
There's somewhere in my heart(somewhere in my heart)only for you
If I must do without (If I must do without)
I'll let these sparks fly out (oooh)
Across this wilderness from me to you (Across this wilderness from me to you)

Wherever you may be...

How does one decide
That the methods he's using,
They just don't jive
To truly believe and keep trying
Over and over again
Living in hopes,
That someday you'll be in with the winners

When will one change his mind
And jump the fence
For the dial a sign
Its a sad thing, its a bad thing
But so necessary
Living in hopes,
That someday you'll be in with the winners

Now what, what, (I don't know, can you tell me what)
What is success?
Is it do your own thing?
Or to join the rest
And if you truly believe it,
And try over and over again
Living in hopes
That someday you'll be in with the winners

Oooh, tell me what it is
Sweet success

Oooh, tell me what it is
Sweet success

So you think the man is crazy
He eats up your lies
Like they're good for him
Apple pie, he don't even cry

He's not a fool
He's just tryin' to do
what his heart says to
To love you

As you take to the wind
To the wind again my friend
As he breaks down within
Within, within, within
He waits for you patiently
Hopin' that one day you'll see
That all he really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone eternally

What do you want the boy to do?
Don't you see you're breaking the child in two?
What do you want the boy to do?
All he really wants is you

He knows what you are
Still he'll be up game
Saved the world today
But you know better
You don't go around him

Now and then you promise
All the way out things that you're gonna get
You will see, you will be,
so damn glad that you finally found him

As he watches you come and go
Or you show
As he watched you promise a zero
He waits for you patiently
Hopin' that one day you'll see
That all he really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone eternally

What do you want the boy to do?
Don't you see you're breaking the child in two?
What do you want the boy to do?
Don't you see that you're breaking the child in two?

So you think the man is crazy
He eats up your lies
Like they're good for him
Apple pie, he don't even cry

He's not a fool
He's just tryin' to do

To love you

As you take to the wind
To the wind again my friend
As he breaks down within
Within, within, within

Don't you see that you're breaking the child in two?

The man who stole the water will swim forevermore
But he'll never reach the land on that golden shore
That faint white light will haunt his heart
Till he's only a memory lost in the dark

Dig a hole in the ground straight down to hell
Till there ain't no more water in the well well well
When you're down on your knees with nothing left to sell
Won't you try to dig in a little deeper in the well well well?
Said, well well well, well well well

Now take care of your body like you care for your soul
Don't you dig yourself into a hole?
Until you've paid the price you can't know what it's worth
The air and water, the fire and earth

Now dig a hole in the ground straight down to hell
Till there ain't no more water in the well well well
When you're down on your knees with nothing left to sell
Try to dig in a little deeper in the well well well
I said, well well well, well well well

I can't, I can't make love to your memory
I can't put my arms, around what used to be
Everything I had, was a part of me
Well you went and it walked out that front door with you

My friends tell me, it'll be alright
But my friends never, no, never held you close at night
Every dream I had, that could see the light
Well you went and it walked out the front door with you
Well you went and it walked out the front door with you

I never knew, I never thought that you'd take my love and tear it apart
I gave you my best, when I gave you my heart

Oh, are you listening? Or is this all in vain?
I still can't believe, you're never comin' back again
Everything I had, oh, except my pain
Well you went and it walked out the front door with you
Well you went and it walked out that front door with you
Well you went and it walked...
Well you went and it walked right out the front door with you
Well you went and it walked right out
Never comin' back no more
Right out

I can't, I can't make love to your memory
I can't put my arms, around what used to be
Everything I had, was a part of me
Well you went and it walked out that front door with you

Well you went and it walked right out
Never comin' back no more
Right out

Ah... don't let me grow bitter I pray
Give me strength to carry on my way

I'm leanin on you like a wooden cane
Well, I'm walkin through; I'm walkin through the valley of the pain

I'm believin there's a reason for this trial'
This too shall pass in a little while
Woh, Lord have mercy if I complain
I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
Yes, I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain

Paint me in a river of my tears
Whisper hope and truth - courage in my ears

Well, when I'm hurtin I have a dangerous tongue
I lose it and use it like a gun
Oh wont you stop me if you see me takin aim
I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
If I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
Yes, I'm walkin through; I'm walkin through the valley of the pain

Paint me in a river of my tears
Whisper hope and truth - courage in my ears
Remind me when I reach the other side
I'll b thankful for every tear that I cries

Don't let the darkness drive me insane
I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
If I'm walkin through, I'm walkin through the valley of the pain
Yes, I'm walkin through; I'm walkin through the valley of the pain

You're just into looking after #1
Only thing you worry 'bout is having your fun
First sign of trouble and it's understood
You'll get going while the going's still good
You're so very unnecessarily mercenary

You're a secret agent got a hidden agenda
Got me in your sights, think I'm a real big spender
Stick around baby pretty soon you'll see
I ain't got no money but my love's for free
You're so very unnecessarily mercenary

You're a gun for hire when a war breaks out
Loving on the front line 'til the money runs out
Finger on the trigger, baby pull it and see
If your mercenary tactic's gonna work on me

Warm and lovely mystery, fire smiling through
Before this moment fades away I want to know you
I've got lightening in my pocket, thunder in my shoe
Have no fear I've got something here I want to show you

Low, under the falling sky
Easily we will lie
While I bring it to you

It's a low road, a high wire going from me to you
And in your eyes the distance left is closing
I've got a feeling in my oceans
Blood underneath my skin
That into your bright fields this prison is opening

Our shadows wake each day though they don't know why
They hope and try -- live and die
So leave them in their frozen world
Come and be my lover
If only for one stolen moment
We will live forever

Warm and lovely mystery, can you hear the choir?
Voices can no longer hold my desire
Just abandon your sad history and meet me in the fire
Angels wait to take me higher and higher
Higher and higher

Warm and lovely mystery, fire smiling through
Before this moment fades away I want to know you
I've got lightening in my pocket, thunder in my shoe
Have no fear I've got something here I want to show you

Low, under the falling sky
Easily we will lie
While I bring it to you

It's a low road, a high wire going from me to you
And in your eyes the distance left is closing
I've got a feeling in my oceans
Blood underneath my skin
That into your bright fields this prison is opening

Our shadows wake each day though they don't know why
They hope and try -- live and die
So leave them in their frozen world
Come and be my lover
If only for one stolen moment
We will live forever

Warm and lovely mystery, can you hear the choir?
Voices can no longer hold my desire
Just abandon your sad history and meet me in the fire
Angels wait to take me higher and higher
Higher and higher

Maybe I'm a dreamer
Maybe just a fool
Lately I can hardly see the sun
If you had a secret I could take a guess
Nothin in your eyes seems to hold me
Truth or consequences
Which one will it be

Someone said that time would ease the pain
Of two lives love has torn apart
But, I believe whoever wrote that song,
Never had a broken heart

One of us is hiding
One of us can tell
Cause no one likes to be the first to know
Someone has to answer
Cause someone has to ask
Keeping on like this is torture
And going undecided is twice as bad for sure

Someone said that time would ease the pain
Of two lives love has torn apart
But, I believe whoever wrote that song
Never had a broken heart

No river can hold you darlin'
No covers can hide you tying your shoes
My cupboards are overflowing
The wine is sublime I'm flyin' too

So slide on over and forget it's wrong
We're two lights in the nighttime baby
Come on over and pick up your song it's new
And darlin' so are you
Don't know nothin' 'bout no here and gone
We're two lights in the nighttime baby
Ain't nothin' that a fightin' heart won't do
No no no

My government owns the bible
My government owns the title too
The car that I got this mornin'
The car that I got for me and you

So what's comin' on down that road
It's two lights in the nighttime baby
You know that I'm gonna wanna
Share my load with you
And boy you know it's true
We'll stay together 'til the end of time
We're two lights in the nighttime baby
Ain't nothin' that a fightin' heart won't do
No no no

So slide on over and forget it's wrong
We're two lights in the nighttime baby
Come on over and pick up your song it's new
And darlin' so are you

Honey you know it's true

You said that your love was just for me
That's why I've got to be yours
You told me the day will never come
When you would walk out and leave
'Cause you know that

True love is hard to find
'Cause you know that

Everybody knows
True love is hard to find
Hard to find
Very hard to find

You would take care of my business for me

Is to leave those business alone and save it just for me
Yes

When I was a kid
I had a little record
I played it over and over
Each and every day.
Sung by a man
Named Louie Armstrong.
Saint's marched right in from my Close and Play.

When I was a kid
I had a little picture
And I looked at that picture
All the time.
Painted by a man
Mama said his name was Vinnie.
A farmer sowing seeds on a really nice day.

Mom and daddies get a good idea what your babies like
To help 'em be happy
Like that guy named Mike.
Yeah that groovy old man that fixes my bike
Down there on 'Dumaine Street, New Orleans Louisiana.

When I was a kid
I had a little wiener dog
I loved that little wiener dog
And she loved me.
Spent warm spring days feeding that little wiener dog
Ripe sweet cherries from our cherry tree.

(An') if I ever get older, if I ever die.
If I get to a gate at the end of the sky.
And a beautiful creature says
Now Bonnie what do you want?
Might say a record and a picture and a wiener dog swear to God.

Mom and daddies get a good idea what your babies want
To help 'em be happy
Like that ol' gal named Betty.
Yeah that groovy old chick teaches Tai-Chi on the levee.
Rain or shine she's out there she's dedicated.
She wrinkled but she
Lovely.
She flexible and don't you wish we all were flexible enough to
Dance now?

Dance little children now
The whole round world is your neighborhood.
Dance little children now
Nekkid as a Jaybird.
Dance little children now
The whole round world is your neighborhood.
Dance little children now
Nekkid as a Jaybird.

They're just trinkets.
Little stepping stones
To let you know you was here.

So now there's somebody new
These dreams I've been dreaming
Have all fallen through
You say I'll be fine
It only takes time
Someday,
That may be true
But it's too soon to tell
Ah, it's too soon to say
Maybe some day I'll be able,
To wish you well
But right now it's just,
Too soon to tell

It's all for the best
So you say
You never intended,
To hurt me this way
You want to hear
I won't drown in my tears
Well, baby the best that I can say
Is it's too soon to tell
Ah, it's too soon to say
Maybe some day I'll be able
To wish you well
But right now,
It's just too soon to tell
Well right now
It's just too soon to tell

Ooh...
Too soon to tell...

So now there's somebody new

Jesus cried, wept and died
I guess He went up to heaven
I've been downtown such a long, long time
I'll never make it home by seven
Won't you come & take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And Lord, I just can't stand it anymore

Well I went down to Jason's
Walked 'til my feet got sore
But I never knew what laughin' was
'Til you walked out the door
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And Lord, I just can't stand it anymore

You can give my soul to Abraham
Give my soul to Saul
Give my bones to Canada
My teeth they don't hurt at all

I don't know who made the highway
I guess that's just my pride
But I have heard the Prince of Darkness
On his charger ride

The silver blade is gleamin'
The scales are in his hands
I swear that night is fallin',
Don't you lose another man
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And Lord, I just can't stand it anymore

Jesus cried, wept and died

Who'll take the only hearts they got
And throw them into the fire?
Who'll risk their own self respect
In the name of desire?
Who'll regret everything they've done
And who will get the bill?
Lovers will
Who'll hurt each other all the time
And never give it a thought?
Who'll lie about where they've been
And hope they never get caught?
Who'll say each other's kisses
No longer thrill?
Lovers will
Lovers will do almost anything
For the thrill that only love can bring
If love is a healer, who'll be the first ones ill?
Lovers will
Who'll never know what they've got
Until it's just about gone?
And whose arms will gather up what's left
To carry on?
And who'll stalk that little bit of love
That hasn't been killed?
Lovers will

How many teardrops are gonna fall tonight?
How many hartaches must a woman have in her life
I lost a lover, lost my friend, I'm through with love
I just can't win
I'm a three time loser, I'm a three time loser

How many hours of your love I'm gonna wait
How many heartaches do you really think I'm gonna set and take

Don't have to humble yourself to me, I ain't your judge or your king
Baby, you know I ain't no Queen of Sheba
We may not even have our dignity, this could be just a powerful thing
Baby we can choose you know we ain't no amoeba
CHORUS:

Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you, it comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine, take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for the thing called love
I ain't some icon carved out of soap
Sent here to clean up your reputation
Baby, you know you ain't no Prince Charming
We can live in fear or act out of hope
For some kind of peaceful situation
Baby, how come the cry of love is so alarming ...CHORUS

I told you once the day we met
I wouldn't be your queen.
Your little darlin', sweet coquette
Just what my routine
You've been around enough to know
There's really no one else
When I hear that siren call, baby
I just can't help myself

I gotta go
I hope you'll understand
I love you so
Want you to be my man

I hear it callin'
Sound so sweet and plain
I gotta go, baby,
'Cause the road's my middle name

Well, it's hard enough to love someone
When they're right close to home
Don't you think I know it's hard, honey
To squeeze the sugar from the phone

Guess the road is in my blood
'Cause I'm my daddy's kid
Just have to learn how to let me go
Just like my momma did

I gotta go,
I hope you'll understand
Oh, I love you so
Want you to be my man

I hear it callin', baby
Sound so sweet and plain
I gotta go
'Cause the road's my middle name

Here it come
And it sounds so sweet and plain
I gotta go
'Cause the road's my middle name
I gotta go
'Cause the road's my middle name
Oooh, I gotta go, darlin'
'Cause the road's my middle name

I told you once the day we met

When you get home baby
Write me a few of your lines
When you get home little baby
Write me a few of your lines
That'll be consolation
Lord Honey oh my worried mind

Left my baby
Standin' in the backdoor cryin'
Well I left my little baby
Standing in the backdoor cryin'
I never felt so sorry
Lord Honey till he said goodbye

Goin' to sit down on the ground
Well I'm goin' down to the river baby
Goin' to sit down on the ground
And let the way of the water
Lord Honey wash my troubles down

Kokomo me baby

I'd like to cry in your arms tonight
Baby don't you wanna go?
Right on to Lemon Light City
Sweet home Kokomo

Go on down to the river baby
Goin' to sit down on the ground
Well I'm goin' down to the river baby
Goin' to sit down on the ground
And let the way of the water
Lord Honey wash my troubles down

Kokomo me baby
Kokomo me right
Kokomo your mama,
She'll be back tomorrow night
I gotta cry with you baby
Baby don't you wanna go?
Right on to Lemon Light City
Sweet home Kokomo

Let's run naked through these city streets
We're all captives of captivity
Let's wear madness like a crucifix
Let's tattoo Bible quotes across both our hips

Let's get back to the fundamental things
Let's get back to the elements of style
Let's get back to simple skin on skin
Let's get back to the fundamental things

Let's dance barefoot over broken glass
Slither like a snake does through the wet, cold grass
Howl and tremble in a sleepless grind
Let's do the braindrain, leave it all behind

Let's get back to the fundamental things
Let's get back to the elements of style
Let's get back to simple skin on skin
Let's get back to the fundamental things

You can sit in your room and worry
You can contemplate the end
Or let your house burn down behind you
Run bare-ass through the streets again

You can hide out on your rooftop
Wishing you had never been
Or go down to Hal's bar and grill
Find your innocence again

Let's get back to the fundamental things
Let's get back to the elements of style
Let's get back to simple skin on skin
Let's get back to the fundamental things

If he walks by and the women get engrosed
If he winks an eye and the bread slice turns to toast
He's got a lot of what they call the most

You know the boy can't help it
He was born to please
And if he's got himself a figure that's just made to squeeze
Won't you kindly be aware that the boy can't help it

If he mezmerizes each and every one
And, Lord when he smiles the beefsteak becomes well done
He even makes my grandma feel like she's twentyone

You know the boy can't help it
He was born to please
And if i got to go down to him on bended knees
It's because I'm hoping, obviously
That some day his answer will be
The boy can't help it
He's in love with me.

All the ways I cared for you
Are working like you want them to
As I break down and you stay strong
I write my own forgiveness song

I try to lie down and sleep it off like a drug
But it's not your concern
Another night and it's only right
I toss and I turn in the bed I made

The wine dark room the flashing eyes
That hung me from my string of lies
You said you were numb from wondering
I guess I wasn't listening

I try to lie down and sleep it off like a drug
But you're not concerned
Another night and it's only right
That I toss and I turn in the bed I made

With my own hands
I fashioned this frame
And into the wood
I carved out my name

I try to lie down and sleep it off like a drug
But you're not concerned
Another night and it's only right
That I toss and I turn in the bed I made

And it's only right
That I toss and I turn
In the bed I made

The bed I made
The bed I made

i met you on a midaway at a fair last year
And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear
You were playing on the horses
You were playing on the guitar strings
You were playing like the devil wearing wings
Wearing wings, you looked so grand, wearing wings
Do you tie them to your shoulders just to sing
Can you fly? i hear you can! can you fly?
Just like an eagle doin' his hunting from the sky

I followed through a sideshow to another town
And i found you in a trailer on the camping grounds
You were betting on some lover, shootin' out the dice
And i thought i saw you cheating once or twice
Once or twice, i heard ya did, once or twice
Were you wondering was the gamble worth the price
Now you've packed it in, i heard you did, packed it in
Was it hard to fold a hand you knew you could win?

Lately you've been hiding, it was somewhere in the news
And i'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues
The man calls out the numbers...he sometimes mentions mine
But i feel like i've been working overtime
Overtime, i've lost my fire, overtime
And i envy you the valley that you've found

'cause i'm midway down the midway
Slowin' down

You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did
Yes you did
And I thank you

You didn't have to hold me like you did
But you did
Yes you did
And I thank you

If you took your love somewhere else
I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death
You make me feel, Like I've never felt
Kisses so good I've got to holler for help
You didn't have to shake it like you did
But you did
Yes you did
And I thank you

You didn't have to make it like you did
But you did
Yes you did
And I thank you

All my life I've been short changed
Without your love baby, it's a crying shame
Now I know what the girls were talking about
When they say that ya.....oooooooooooooh
I wanna thank you baby
Thank you honey
I've got to thank you Oooooh hoooooo
Baby yeaahhhh

Gonna get into it
Down where it's tangled and dark
Way on into it, Baby
Down where your fears are parked.
Gonna tell the truth about it,
Honey that's the hardest part.
When we get through it, Baby
You're gonna give up your heart.

Gonna get into it, Baby
Gonna give them demons a call
Way on into it Baby
Gonna find out once and for all
Gonna get a little risky, Baby
Honey that's my favorite part
When we get through it, Baby
We're gonna give up our hearts.

Well, there's no turnin back,
No turnin back, this time
Well there's no turnin back,
No turnin back

No use in runnin
It's always the same
You can count on the panic
It's the faces that change
To get this love off the block
So take a deep breath
Let's look under the rock

repeat first verse

The time has come, boy, yesterday is here
I said, the time has come, now baby
For you and me to get a few things clear
I might be right or I might be wrong
What does it matter if I'm weak or strong?
I might be rich, I might be poor
Please don't you ever close that door

[Incomprehensible] talk to me
Tell me what is on your mind
You better tell me, baby
Tell me while there's still enough time

Well, I gave you everything that I had
Now you're sayin' you're a little bit mad at me
I taught you everything I knew

There ain't too much more I can do for you
You feel there's somethin' wrong
Then you'll have to tell me it's wrong

You know it too
There's somethin' wrong with you
Don't hold it in
Come on, baby, I'm still your friend

Why don't you talk to me?
Tell me what is on your mind
Now you better tell me, baby
Tell me while there's still enough time

[Incomprehensible] talk to me
Tell me what is on your mind
You better tell me, baby
Better tell me while there's still enough time

I'm takin' my time
So please don't rush me.
Tryin' to sort out some things I didn't know existed.
I've been here before,
I know where the traps lie.
You only take what's there 'cause the rest doesn't matter.

Well I'm tired of talk,
So please don't push me.
You know I want the same kinda things that you do.
You're wasting your time,
The way you come to me.
Slow down your rhymes and try to reason

Can't make things move any faster,
By second wishing them to death.
You seem to be living on the level.
It's decent enough,
You got what you wanted.
So why do you tell me, that I'm on the wrong track?
I'm doin' the best I can do.

I try to out guess
The situation
That I know your not even fully aware of.
And I want you to know,
If it keeps on this way,
Can't keep on letting you bring me down.
Can't keep on letting you bring me down.

When will I learn to take you on my journey
When will I see that you belong to me
When will I learn to take you on my journey
When will I see that you belong to me

Sweet Forgiveness
How could go my way (?)
I never really knew how I needed you, but you were right there
(I dont't know the rest)

Sweet forgiveness, that's what you give to me.
When you hold me close,
And you say: "That's all over."
You don't go looking back,
You don't hold the cards to stack.
'Cause you mean what you say.

Sweet forgiveness, you help me see.
I'm not near as bad,
As I sometimes appear to be.
When you hold me close,
And you say: "That's all over,
"And I still love you."

There's no way that I could make up,
For those angry words I said.
Sometimes it gets to hurting,
And the pain goes to my head.

Sweet forgiveness, dear God above.
I say we all deserve,
A taste of this kind of love.
Someone who'll hold our hand,
And whisper: "I understand,
"And I still love you."

Sittin here worryin'
While your lookin to find yourself
Somebody else
Me lovin' you and wantin' you baby
And you not knowin' what you want yourself
Why do you treat me so mean
It hurts so bad
All you wanna do is just sit around and jive
You dont' even know this woman's alive
Sittin' here worryin'
Knowin' your liikin' to find yourself

Ain't gonna be no sugar mama no more
You can't have love when your keepin' score
All you pretty boys used to catch my eye
I just want a man I can satisfy
Ain't gonna be no sugar mama no more

Sittin here worryin'
While your lookin to find yourself
Somebody else
Me lovin' you and wantin' you baby
And you not knowin' what you want yourself
Why do you treat me so mean
It hurts so bad
All you wanna do is just sit around and jive
You dont' even know this woman's alive
Sittin' here worryin'
Knowin' your liikin' to find yourself

Ain't gonna be no sugar mama no more
You can't have love when your keepin' score
All you pretty boys used to catch my eye
I just want a man I can satisfy
Ain't gonna be no sugar mama no more

Storm warning, feels like a heavy rain
Winds on the coast tonight
We may get tossed tonight
Storm warning, he's made it pretty plain
He's fallin' for another, found a new lover
And he won't be back again
Can't stop a river, when it's burst its banks
I've seen the look in his eyes
He's in love and hypnotized
Time of mourning
There's already been a flood of my tears
Such a sense of loss tonight
Nought to do but ride it out

Can't stop a river when it's burst its banks
I wonder how long it's gonna take
To get over this heartbreak
Storm warning, feels like a heavy rain
Winds on the coast tonight
We may get tossed tonight

I know you got a different picture in mind
Some dream a world of a different kind
I know this rhythm we've been moving to is way to slow
Each time our bodies are supposed to meet
I'm here still missing a beat
And when I look at you in your eyes
We're still dancing to a different tune

Take me to your dreaming place (chorus)
And open up my eyes
Let me see what it takes to be
Your lover in disguise
Show me how I do those things
That make you want to stay
'Cause I'll go crazy if I don't find
The words I gotta say
To steal your heart away

I'll buy you diamonds, golden rings baby
All kinds of beautiful things
But that don't matter to a lover with a restless heart, no no baby
Cause you still want to wake up to a different scene
Some screen gem like the one in your dream
And leave me standing like a fool in the wings
Still waiting for a part to play

(Chorus)

I know you think she's right for you
That she's in tune with what you do
That she can touch you deep inside
Where all your deepest feelings lie
But I got something you should know
Before she starts to hurt you so
You can bet your life she's gonna hurt you

And maybe you think that it's alright
To leave me waiting every night
To put me down in company
In front of everyone we see
To take my loving when it's free
And then to throw it back at me

Well baby, I just can't stand it
Cause I can be the one for you
And I can make your dreams come true
And I can love you like she can
Cause fancy clothes don't make no woman
Believe me baby
I got what it takes to make you feel

And maybe you think a girl should be
As perfect as a girl can be
To love you when your feeling down
And miss you when you're not around
Well I can't be that one for you
I can only be the one that loves you

Hey, what's this on your mind
Hey, what's this change og mind
Hey what's this on your mind

I told you before
You know it may take a little while
I'd like to go there with you but
Runnin' just ain't my style
You want me to stay, well
You got to take it nice and slow
I'll show you the way
Just tell me if you wanna know

I remember the time
When we thought we'd never get enough
Tryin' to make a new love
And makin' it all at once

We wonder how we keep it up
After all these years
You worry 'bout your end, baby
I'll bring up the rear

I love you, baby
Don't you push me up against the wall
I ain't gonna jump every time
You need an overhaul

Maybe it'll take all night
But we'll do it 'til we get it right
And we'll be standin' by the same old love
That made us fall

There's a lot more to love
Than seein' how much love we can make
There's the kindness that makes it
So sweet 'til your little heart could break

And I want you to know
That I'm not just along for the ride
And I won't settle for less than
Everything I've got inside

I love you, baby
Don't you push me up against the wall
I ain't gonna jump every time
You need an overhaul

Maybe it'll take all night
But we'll do it 'til we get it right
And we'll be standin' by the same
Standin' by the same

Well, we'll be standin' by the same old
Oughta be standin' by the same old love
Ooh, standin', standin'

Why aren't ya standin'? Oughta be standin'
Why aren't you just standin'?
Why aren't you just standin'?

There's a time when the light inside of us feels the night
And we're runnin', there's no place to hide
There's a time when we have to stand alone
With our eyes on a world that we never have known

Where can you run to
But somewhere inside your heart
What can you hold to
But all that you were from the start

Stand up to the night
Though it's comin' down on you
You're the only one you have
That you can hold onto
Stand up to the night
Though you're crying no one hears
If you feel your soul would light the darkness disappears
Stand up to the night

There's a time and a place in your life when you realize
That the stranger will always be there
There's a cold in the heart of the world you know
No one cares if the night comes and takes you below

Where can you run to
But somewhere inside your heart
What can you hold to
But all that you were from the start

Stand up to the night
Though it's comin' down on you
You're the only one you have
That you can hold onto
Stand up to the night
Though you're crying no one hears
If you feel your soul would light the darkness disappears
Stand up to the night

Stand up to the night
Though it's comin' down on you
You're the only one you have
That you can hold onto
Stand up to the night
Though you're crying no one hears
If you feel your soul would light the darkness disappears
Stand up to the night

There's a howlin at my window, baby
I hear him closin in
That green-eyed jackal's got the scent
Knows I'll let him in
He slinks in by me at the fire
More bitter than the cold
And it's a rage as old as Hades
That'll sputter on these coals
I'm callin on the Furies, to let the toast begin
I'm roasting on the spit of love again
I never have believed you
But I stick around for more
Somethin bout that hollow in your eyes
There's a darkness at the core
Well, it's got me slowly turnin
I'm basting on the bone
I'm skewered like some drunken fool
In juices all my own
Callin the Furies' carrion choir
Singin me back upon the pyre
I'm roasting on that spit of love again
You can call it what you want
But it's lyin just the same
There's no mercy in these ashes, baby
When your love's a cryin shame
And they're howlin in moonlight, baby
They're here to call my bluff
they're wonderin if there'll ever come a day
When I'll have finally had enough
I'm callin on the Furies, to let the toast begin
I'm roasting on that spit of love again

Ooh, ooh, ooh

People are talking, talking 'bout people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept under cover
I just ignore it but they keep saying we
Laugh just a little too loud (a little too loud)
Stand just a little too close (too close)
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seein' something we don't, darling

Let's give 'em something to talk about

I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You act so nervous, could you be falling for me?
It took the rumor to make me wonder
But now I'm convinced that I'm going under
Thinking 'bout you every day (every day)
Dreaming 'bout you every night (every night)
I'm hoping that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, let's really show it, darling

So far
There was not a second thought
No heart
Ever got close enough
You are
Watching as I am caught
In a moment off-gaurd

So close
I can nearly taste it
Suppose
This is that one promised love
God knows
All that I've wasted now
Never letting it start

Now all my resistance
I feel it slip away
Now all of the distance
Ever less with every day by day

So far
There was no connection
No spark
Out of which a fire grows
I start
In your direction I'm
Ever so close

Now all my resistance
I feel it slip away
Now all of the distance
Ever less with every day by day

So far, I have never been
So close

Feels like nothin happens fast enough
Well maybe I just want too much
But when something's wrong between us, Baby
Nothin feels right.

I think it's time we cleared the air
Take a long drive far away somewhere
Tell me everything you feel inside
We got nothin but time.

Slide over, Baby
Here by my side
I wanna take you on a Slow Ride
On a Slow Ride.

Your history shows on your face
Yeah, you've been hurt you've been betrayed
Now we can't change the past, but we can
Leave it behind.

We'll forget about tomorrow, Baby
We'll just steal away into the night
And we'll just be two shadows, Darlin
In the dashboard light.

Slide over, Baby
Here by my side
I wanna take you on a Slow Ride
On a Slow Ride

Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder
Where my life will lead me
Waiting to pass under
Sleep's dark and silent gate
I found my love today
Runnin' round day after day
Lookin' for the time to play
While my old friends, they slipped away

Never should've had to try so hard
To make a love work out, I guess
I don't know what love has got to do with happiness

But the times when we were happy
Were the times we'd never tried

Sittin' down by the highway
I don't know where I've been
I don't know where I'm going

Oh God, this is some kind of shape I'm in
When the only thing that makes me cry
Is the kindness in my baby's eyes

Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder
Where the years have gone
They have all passed under
Sleep's dark and silent gate

I found my love today
I found my love today
I found my love today

Don't know where I'm goin'
Don't know where I've been

when you just give love, and never get love,
You'd better let love depart.

I know it's so, and still i know,
I can't get you out of my heart.

You made me leave my happy home.
You took my love, and now you've gone,
Since i fell for you ...

My life has been such misery and pain.
I guess i'll never be the same,
Since i fell for you ...

Well it's too bad, and it's too sad,
That i'm in love with you ...

When you love me, and then you snub me.
But what can i do, i'm still in love with you.

I guess i'll never see the light.
I get these blues most every night,
Since i fell for you ...

Well it's too bad, and it's too sad,
That i'm in love with you...

When you love me, and then you snub me.
But what can i do, i'm still in love with you.

I guess i'll never see the light.
I get those blues most every night,
Since i fell for you ...

Since you loved me, then you snubbed me
I prayed you put no one above me
Now im black and blue since i fell for you

Since i fell for youfor youyeah

Take this silver lining
Keep it in your own
Sweet head
And shine it when the night is
Burning red
Shine it in the twilight
Shine it on the cold, cold ground
Shine it till these walls
Come tumbling down

We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope now
Can you tell me why
Time after time they drag you down
Down in the darkest deep
Fools and their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep

Step into the silence
Take it in your own
Two hands
And sprinkle it like diamonds
All across these lands
Blaze it in the morning
Wear it like an iron skin
Only things worth living for are
Innocence and magic, amen

We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope now
Can you tell me why
Time after time they drag you down
Down in the darkest deep
Fools and their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep

Woah, wooah

We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope now
Can you tell me why
Time after time they drag you down
Down in the talk so cheap
Fools and their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
Know that the light don't sleep

Time after time
They drag you down
Down in the darkness deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
Know that the light don't sleep

In the shadow of your father
Sweet brown eyes of the one I love
I can't wait another minute baby
To do the things that we never done
Everybody gets hungry sometimes
Your love is like a kettle on
In the shadow of your father
Guess I get a little sad sometimes

Shake a little for me baby
Take me to the water when my well runs dry
Shake a little for me baby
Just a little now
Just a little now

Everybody gets lonely sometimes
Guess a stranger is a friend in need
In the shadow of this New York skyline
All these stories looking down on me
Everybody feels the water rising
Could go on to her enjoy the ride
Ah when you're dancing for me now baby
I don't feel so small against the tide

Shake a little for me baby
Take me to the water when my well runs dry
Shake a little for me baby
Shake a little for me baby
Take me to the water when my cup runs dry
Shake a little for me baby
Just a little now
Just a little now
Just a little now

In the shadow of your father
Sweet brown eyes of the one I love
I can't wait another minute baby
To do the things that we never done
Everybody gets hungry sometimes
Your love is like a kettle on
In the shadow of your father
Guess I get a little sad sometimes

Shake a little for me baby
Take me to the water when my well runs dry
Shake a little for me baby
Just a little now
Just a little now

Everybody gets lonely sometimes
Guess a stranger is a friend in need
In the shadow of this New York skyline
All these stories looking down on me
Everybody feels the water rising
Could go on to her enjoy the ride
Ah when you're dancing for me now baby
I don't feel so small against the tide

Shake a little for me baby
Take me to the water when my well runs dry
Shake a little for me baby
Shake a little for me baby
Take me to the water when my cup runs dry
Shake a little for me baby
Just a little now
Just a little now
Just a little now

Just another homesick child
Tired of running wild
Ready to stand trial and move on
Though I'm guilty in your sight
Have some mercy tonight
I can't make it through the fight alone

Oh but Lord, no don't make it easy
Keep me working till I work it on out
Just please shine enought light on me
Til I'm free from this shadow of doubt
Keep me out of the Shadow of Doubt
As I try to make some sense
Of this world I'm up against
Well I know my best defense is your love
When the struggle gets insane
And the lesson's full of pain
Keep me calling out your name with love

Oh but Lord, no don't make it easy
Keep me workin' till I work it on out
Just please won't you shine
Enough light on me
Til I'm free from this shadow of doubt

Well I whisper in the dark
From the bottom of my heart
And I'm searchin for one star to shine
I will shout from mountain high
And I'll reach into the sky
Til you open up my eyes so blind

Oh but Lord no, don't make it easy
Keep me workin' til I work it on out
Just please, please shine enough light on me
'Til I'm free from this shadow of doubt
Keep me out of the shadow...

Walkin' in a nightmare
I've been burning in a cold sweat
There you stand lookin' for my heart
But you took it when you left
I can't hear, I don't wanna hear what you say

We had the world at our feet
Yeah, you really had a way with words
You kept me tied to a dream
And I never got what I deserved
I can't hear, I don't wanna hear what you say

'Cause I knew you'd come
Running back to me
When the nights got long
You'd say you miss the way it used to be
When my love was strong

I knew you'd come running back to me
When your luck was down
I knew you'd come running back and see
I was the best around

Round and round the tables turned
Now it's you who yearns to hold me
Last dance was the last chance for you

Lookin' Out my window
I remember when you drove away
I never heard you say goodbye
I gave up thinkin' you'd be here to today
I can't hear, I don't wanna hear what you say

Running back to me
Come runnin' back to me
I knew you'd come running back to me
You say you miss the way it used to be
I knew you'd come runnin' back to me

As I walk along I wonder what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as still walk on I think of the things we've done
Together while our hearts were young

I'm a walking in the rain, tears are falling and I feel a pain
Wishing you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder, I wo wo wo wo wonder
Why, why why why why why she (you) ran away
And I wonder where she (you) will stay
My little runaway, a run run run run runaway

Well it was alright at midnight and you fell out at three
So I made you warm and stoked the dying fire
When it all came down this morning you were lying next to me
How sweet the wine of desire
Well we cheated on a friend and cheaters never win
Oh the truth I know would be a small relief
I could never be the one to say
Her best friend took you down
Gonna run in the night hide when ever it's light
Gonna run in the night like a thief
Just ain't no use think it over I was blind but now I see
Well she's coming back and I know just what I'll do
If it comes right down to you leaving her or staying here with me
How sweet the memory of you
Well we cheated on a friend and it looks like I lose again
I could never be the one to say
Her best friend took you down
I'd rather run in the night hide when ever it's light
Gonna run in the night like a thief
Like a thief in the night hide when ever it's light
Gonna run in the night like a thief

Well it was alright at midnight and you fell out at three
So I made you warm and stoked the dying fire
When it all came down this morning you were lying next to me
How sweet the wine of desire
Well we cheated on a friend and cheaters never win
Oh the truth I know would be a small relief
I could never be the one to say
Her best friend took you down
Gonna run in the night hide when ever it's light
Gonna run in the night like a thief
Just ain't no use think it over I was blind but now I see
Well she's coming back and I know just what I'll do
If it comes right down to you leaving her or staying here with me
How sweet the memory of you
Well we cheated on a friend and it looks like I lose again
I could never be the one to say
Her best friend took you down
I'd rather run in the night hide when ever it's light
Gonna run in the night like a thief
Like a thief in the night hide when ever it's light
Gonna run in the night like a thief

There's a brand new dance
That just hit this town
Makes you feel so good
This dance they call the round and round
Round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down
You know the kids got a bloodhound
Out on the playing ground
And when they want to have some fun
They start to goin round and round
Round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down
I got an elevator man
In the heart of town
And when he's feeling right
He will carry you round and round
Round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down
Baby don't be jealous
When I come to town
I'm just a country girl
Everybody's tryin to push poor me around
Round and round, up and down
Round and round, up and down

You need a man that'll treat you like the woman you are
Those little boys are just fooling around with your heart
Whatcha gonna do now that you're all alone?
You need a rock not a rollin' sone
Yeah so when I'm bored
it just ain't enough
You need a man made of stronger stuff
Get ready

Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you

You need somebody who will help you with your heavy load
Well I've been there baby
Lord give me a rock and roll
Well I can bend but I won't break
cause you ain't got what I can take
So when you're tired of those little girls
you want a woman that'll rock your world
Get ready

Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you
Amateurs are clearly tought
They can't give you what you really want
When all the other have been untrue
I'll give you something you can hold on to

Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you

I guess you got me in a sentimental mood
Never thot I'd feel this way again
Lyin' here with my dreams
I get so lonely thinking of you

River of Tears
Oceans of heartbreak
I want to feel
What your love can be
I close my eyes

Chances that I take
Got me so blind
Til I can't see
I never let you know just what's been on my mind
Never thot I'd hurt so bad for you lovin' this long
Lyin' here at nite alone
I keep on wonderin' just what went wrong

River of Tears
Oceans of heartbreak
I want to feel
What your love can be
I close my eyes

River of Tears
River of Tears

[Chorus]

I guess you got me in a sentimental mood
Never thot I'd feel this way again
Lyin' here with my dreams
I get so lonely thinking of you

River of Tears
Oceans of heartbreak
I want to feel
What your love can be
I close my eyes

Chances that I take
Got me so blind
Til I can't see
I never let you know just what's been on my mind
Never thot I'd hurt so bad for you lovin' this long
Lyin' here at nite alone
I keep on wonderin' just what went wrong

River of Tears
Oceans of heartbreak
I want to feel
What your love can be
I close my eyes

River of Tears
River of Tears

[Chorus]
