I didn't mean to fall in love
I didn't mean to fall in love

And all I mean to say
I can't go on the way things are
How can I lead the way
It feels so wrong to be so far away

Ooh, from you tonight
If I, if I lose you, I can't survive

Didn't know you would've come tonight
Didn't hang on long enough
Didn't want to go and start a fight
Didn't mean to go, go and fall in love

It's like an avalanche
Once you fall you're swept away
I didn't stand a chance
Hangin' on every word you say

Hey, we can find a place for love
Ooh, do you want it bad enough

I didn't mean to fall in love
I didn't mean to fall in love

So could you catch a plane
Come back home for one more try
I'll never be the same
I fell so hard out of the sky today

For you, you see
And you would never believe what you do for me
Can't you see you're all I need
Didn't know you would've come tonight
Didn't hang on long enough
Didn't want to go and start a fight
Didn't mean to go, go and fall in love


(Tom Scholz, Curly Smith, Janet Minto

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

(Scholz, Delp)

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

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

It's Easy

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

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

Livin' without you never could be so wrong
Don't need to say it, I never waited so long
Thinking about you in everthing I do
Love for giving
You know I'm just livin' for you
And I, I never needed to lie
Can't you see I believe in my heart when I'm saying
It's love that you see
You're just the one for me
I'm praying

Maybe I'm dreaming, don't want to wake up now
Baby, I love you, I always knew it somehow
Happened so easy, don't need to think it through
It's not so amazing
Been going so crazy for you

Dreaming and hoping, hoping that dreams come true
You're my religion, girl, I've been living for you
Don't want to fight it, tried everything I know
I won't deny it
You're everywhere I try to go

And I, I never needed to lie
Can't you see I believe in my heart when I'm saying
It's love that you see
You mean the world to me
I'm praying for you

(Solo)

Knew it so easy, don't have to think it through
Love is for giving
I know I'm just livin' for you
Love is for giving
I know I'm just livin' for you

An empty street, an empty house,
a hole inside my heart
I'm all alone
The rooms are getting smaller

I wonder how, I wonder why,
I wonder where they are
the days we had,
the songs we sang together oh yeah~

And oh my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for a love that seems so far

So I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
to see you once again my love
Over seas from coast to coast
To find the place I loved the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again, my love

I try to read, I go to work
I'm laughing with my friends
But I can't stop
to keep myself from thinking, oh no

I wonder how, I wonder why,
I wonder where they are
the days we had,
the songs we sang together

And oh my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for a love that seems so far

So I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
to see you once again my love
Over seas from coast to coast
To find the place I loved the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again


To hold you in my arms
To promise you my love
To tell you from a far what I'm thinking of
Reaching for a love that seems so far

So..So I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
to see you once again my love
Over seas from coast to coast
To find the place I loved the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again, my love

say a little prayer
dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
to see you once again my love
Over seas from coast to coast
To find the place I loved the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again, my love

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

chorus

An empty street, an empty house,

Corporate America

Who can stop de-evolution of the human race?
Look at you, Corporate America, you're in disgrace
Globalize; cigarettes, business jets, you love it
Maximize; but you can take your bottom line and shove it

Gotta get away (gotta get away)
Gotta get away, but I need a little help tonight
What 'ya gonna say (what 'ya gonna say)
What 'ya gonna say when you never even seen the light
See the light

Corporate America, look out, look out
Corporate America, who's gonna save us, who's gonna save us now?

You and I; DVDs, SUVs and cyberspace
Flying blind, virtual reality is in our face
This Earth desecrated by the human race
Now what's it worth? When do we evacuate to outer space?

Corporate America, look out, look out
Corporate America, who's gonna save us, who's gonna save us now?

I see the future in the past
Just took the corner way too fast, the reckless ride of modern man
Flattened everything that stands
Fooled by the sales pitch for progress at a dizzy pace
We idolize the filthy rich for giving us synthetic taste
Computer calls, urban sprawl
Is the world a better place, is the world a better place?

Fare thee well, global extinction's forever
So what the hell, order your Mercedes in leather
Veal crates, ozone holes, and toxic waste
And don't count out religious hate
Who can survive this manmade fate?

Gotta get away
Gotta get away, and I need a little help tonight
What 'ya gonna say
Wha 'ya gonna say when you couldn't even see the light
See the light
Yeah
