Christine Mcvie

I’m falling down inside myself
Like I have a thousand times or more
And I like it when you comfort me
Like you do when I’m insecure

I’m lost inside my warring worlds
Casting stone
Throwing bones
And I’m wanting you to come to me
Like you have every time before

I’m a lonely child
And my heart’s aflame
I’ve been taken down
And I rose right back again
And I want to say just
How much I love you
For the child you are
You’re my Northern Star

I’m lost inside my warring worlds
Casting stone
Throwing bones
And I’m wanting you to come to me
Like you have every time before

I’m a lonely child
And my heart’s aflame
I’ve been taken down
And I rose right back again
And I want to say just
How much I love you
For the child you are
You’re my Northern Star

I’m a lonely child
And my heart’s aflame
I’ve been taken down
And I rose right back again
And I want to say just
How much I love you
For the child you are
You’re my Northern Star

Everything was looking good
Just like it should
Trusted you with all my heart
Never dreamt you'd tear me apart
So I went on a ride
Looking on the inside and not the outside
Rambled round and round
In and out of town

It was a bad journey
It was a bad bad journey

Signs were good
When I started out
No traffic anywhere
Just as well 'cos I didn't care
I felt for so long
Cracks appearing on your loving face
I saw them then I can see them now

It was a bad journey
It was a bad bad journey

Saw my dreams of love
As distant as the mountain tops
And just as far away beyond the point
Where I am today
So I picked myself up, 'cos I put myself down
And I in my car and drive around
No matter what was said
What it was that you did
All that behind me now
'Cos I'm moiving on

New York City to Mexico
I went to New Orleans to Boise, Idaho
On the shores of Gitchee Gumee
In The Hidden Hills
I went to Key Biscayne, nothing there
So I came back again

It was a bad journey
It was a bad bad journey

So I picked myself up, 'cos I put myself down
And I get in my car and drive around
No matter what was said, what that you did
All that's behind me now
'Cos I'm moving on

It was a bad journey
It was a bad bad journey

It was a bad journey
It was a bad bad journey

It was a bad journey
It was a bad bad journey

It was a bad journey
It was a bad bad journey

Talk to me
And let me know
If this feeling
Could ever grow

You could take me out
You could lay me down
But don't get serious
Let's just play around

It's improbable
But if you talk nice to me baby
Anything is possible
Anything is possible

Well don't you know
Deep down inside
This feeling grows
There's nowhere to hide

You could take me out
You could lay me down
But don't get serious
Let's just play around

It's improbable
But if you talk nice to me baby
Anything is possible
Anything is possible

It's improbable
But if you talk nice to me baby
Anything is possible
It's improbable
But if you talk nice to me baby
Well anything is possible
Yes, Everything is possible

My love sits like a curse
Voodoo from the past
I know that' I'm not a fool
Tied here to the mast
And every single day
Tight around my heart
No hope of cutting loose

Then he sings to me
So soft and sweet

Calumny calumny
Oh sweet calumny

I'm teased so by my love
Won't you let me rest in peace
His wheels go spinning round
A hundred miles at least
Torn, the petals drop
He picks them one by one
Testing out our love
By proving that it's gone

Then he sings to me
So soft and sweet

Calumny calumny
Oh sweet calumny

Calumny calumny
Oh sweet calumny

Then he sings to me
So soft and sweet

Calumny calumny
Oh sweet calumny
Calumny calumny
Oh sweet calumny
Calumny calumny
Oh sweet calumny

Sunday evening
Heart was beating
Beating like a drum
'Cos I know you're leaving
And I'm grieving
Because tomorrow will surely come

Monday morning
Without a warning
Tell me where have you gone
Oh, didn't you like my love song, darling
I was so sincere

You are the man
Funny little white car with the broken light

Yes, you are the man
I guess it couldn't work out
No, you never could be right
For me

So, so, so, so
So sincere

You are the man
Funny little white car with the broken light

Yes, you are the man
I guess it couldn't work out
No, you never could be right
For me

Sunday evening
Heart was beating
Beating like a drum
'Cos I know you're leaving
And, I'm grieving
Because tomorrow will surely come

Monday morning
Without a warning
Tell me where have you gone
Oh, didn't you like my love song, darling
I was so sincere

There's a cold wind
Blowing round your heart
There's a cool, cool breeze
Well you chilled me from the start

I used to pretend the fire inside
Would begin to burn
But oh no, it wasn't to be darling
I had a lot to learn

I believe the only thing to do
Is turn it around
And listen to the voice inside
That's never gonna let me down

Easy come and easy go
Well that's the way that it is
Easy come and easy go
I won't make no promises

There's a dull kind of ache
Where caring used to be
And I think my heart may break
Oh darling can't you see

It's time to put it all aside
And make a fresh start
The first cut is the deepest darling
That is the hardest part

I believe the only thing to do
Is turn it around
And listen to the voice inside
That's never let me down

Easy come and easy go
That's the way that it is
Easy come and easy go
I won't make no promises

Easy come and easy go
That's the way that it is
Easy come and easy go
I won't make no promises

Well you cruised into my life
With promised on your sweet lips
With lies on your honeyed tongue
And magic in your fingertips

Liar, you're the Jack of Hearts
Liar, you're the Jack of Hearts

Lost in the world of your illusions
In which you played the shining knight
I'm turning from your heart of darkness
Into the light

You're the Jack of Hearts
Liar, you're the Jack of Hearts

Just another old dirty game
You're shuffling the cards
You think you've got the winner darlin'
But I'm the one who truly stars

Never thought I was a gambler
Never thought I could be your clown
But with one roll of the dice baby
My walls came tumbling down

Lost in the world of your illusions
In which you played the shining knight
I'm turning from your heart of darkness
Into the light

Never thought I was a gambler
Never thought I could be your clown
But with one roll of the dice baby
My walls came tumbling down

Liar, you're the Jack of Hearts
Liar, you're the Jack of Hearts
Liar, you're the Jack of Hearts
Liar, you're the Jack of Hearts
Liar

I was walking
In the wrong direction
Looking for a man like you
To tune into my affection
I was thinking
You could be my number one
Then I woke up, darling
To an entirely different song

The party's over
When the music ends
If we can't be lovers
Then we really can't be friends
I got some pretty wicked ways
To get my sweet revenge

I was thinking
Of a dedication
Oh silly me
Not to make the observation

The party's over
When the music ends
If we can't be lovers
Then we really can't be friends
I got some pretty wicked ways
To get my sweet revenge

(Watch out baby)
The party's over
When the music ends
If we can't be lovers
Then we really can't be friends
I got some pretty wicked ways
To get my sweet revenge

Repeat

Like a gun in your back
Stab in the dark
This sure isn't cupid's dart

Repeat

Most of the time my head is spinning
Other things on my mind
But once in a while
I'm thrown back into that dark place
Where you reside

(Trapped)In the middle
Of a lousy love affair
(Hurt)Just a little
Johnny says come around if you dare

I tried to reach out so many times
But you were simply never there
I blame myself for my own pain
My misery and despair

(Trapped)In the middle
Of a lousy love affair
(Hurt)Just a little
Johnny says come around if you dare

I forgive you
And the spell that you cast
And all that loneliness
Well that's a thing of the past
Yes I forgive you
And the ties that bind
All that emptiness
Yes I've left it all behind

(Trapped)In the middle
(Hurt)Just a little

I forgive you
And the spell that you cast
And all that loneliness
Well that's a thing of the past
Yes I forgive you
And the ties that bind
All that emptiness
Yes I've left it all behind

For the spell that you cast
And the ties that bind

You made me calm
After the storm
And you gave me strength darlin'
Made me feel safe and warm

So much love
So many lessons learned
For all that you gave me darlin'
You wanted nothing in return

That's why I'm givin' it back
Givin' it back, givin' it back to you
I am givin' it back
Givin' it back, givin' it back to you

When there was doubt
You gave me faith
When there was emptiness all around me
Well you know you filled that space

That's why I'm givin' it back
Givin' it back, givin' it back to you
I am givin' it back
Givin' it back, givin' it back to you

When you feel it
Why don't you pass it along
And then you'll never, no never, never go wrong

So I tripped and I fell
I got lost for a little while
But you caught me in your loving arms
Rescued me with your smile

That's why I'm givin' it back
Givin' it back, givin' it back to you
I am givin' it back
Givin' it back, to you

Tell me the whole thing isn't a dream
I have opened my eyes and truly seen
The colour of the eyes
The feel of your lips on mine
It took me a thousand years
To discover love is fine

You are
Everything to me
The touch of your hand is like a blind man
That now can see
The colour of your eyes
The feel of your lips on mine
It took me a thousand years
To discover love is fine

When you slow down
Won't you give me some time
I wait endlessly
There's no reason or rhyme
For the joy and pain your bring me
I guess it's not a crime
Well if it is then you're guilty
But somehow we will be fine

You are
Everything to me
The touch of your hand is like a blind man
That now can see
The colour of your eyes
The feel of your lips on mine
It took me a thousand years
To discover love is fine

Everything you are
Everything you feel
Belongs in a little way to me
Like a spinning wheel

You know
You know
You know
You know

I’m falling down inside myself
Like I have a thousand times or more
And I like it when you comfort me
Like you do when I’m insecure

I’m lost inside my warring worlds
Casting stone
Throwing bones
And I’m wanting you to come to me
Like you have every time before

I’m a lonely child
And my heart’s aflame
I’ve been taken down
And I rose right back again
And I want to say just
How much I love you
For the child you are
You’re my Northern Star

I’m lost inside my warring worlds
Casting stone
Throwing bones
And I’m wanting you to come to me
Like you have every time before

I’m a lonely child
And my heart’s aflame
I’ve been taken down
And I rose right back again
And I want to say just
How much I love you
For the child you are
You’re my Northern Star

I’m a lonely child
And my heart’s aflame
I’ve been taken down
And I rose right back again
And I want to say just
How much I love you
For the child you are
You’re my Northern Star

Written by christine mcvie and todd sharp.

When you're alone at night
Does it feel all right
And does your heart feel content
Lord knows I hope it might

Chorus:
On every corner you turn
There's a heartache
Well, love's a challenge
A chance that you've gotta take



I've been alone before
And it's a tough one for sure
Isn't there someone you need
I hope it might be me

Chorus

Now every corner I turn seems so unkind
And you're the challenge on my mind

Chorus

Written by Christine McVie, Todd Sharp, and Billy Burnette


Well, I'm so excited
My baby is on his way
I just can't wait
I can't wait another day

Well, I know any minute
He'll be knockin' on my front door
I just can't wait
I can't wait a minute more

Chorus 1:
Ooh he told me
That he'd show me
Said he'd do it right
Then he showed me
Just like he told me
I can't deny it
I'm so excited

I can't eat
I can't sleep
Since the first time that I saw you
Somebody tell me
What's a poor girl supposed to do

Chorus 2:
Ooh he told me
That he'd show me
Said he'd do it right
Oh, he shows me
And he really knows me
I can't deny it
I'm so excited

Well, I know my baby
He makes me want to scream and shout
Whoa he shows me
Shows me what it's all about

Chorus 1

Written by Christine McVie and Todd Sharp.


If I were you, I'd hold on tight
Even do wrong, just to make it right
You treat him badly and you better not
You oughta make the best of what you got

That kind of loving
Ain't easily found
If he tells you he loves you
Don't turn him down

If I was standing in your shoes
I'd give up all I had to give
You got the advantage and a lot to lose
You got everything that I wish I had

Chorus:
That kind of loving
Ain't easily found
If he tells you he loves you
Don't turn him down
If he tells you he needs you
Don't turn around
He's one in a million
Don't turn him down

You better love him while you can
Or somebody's gonna steal that man
But you can't let go
And you won't let him in
Don't you know, how I want
I want, I want him

Chorus

(McVie, Steve Winwood)

He's a devil and an angel
Ooh, the combination's driving me wild
Drive me wild
He's a saint and he's a sinner
Ooh somehow he acts just like a beginner
I guess he's still a child

Chorus:
Ask anybody, ask anybody
They'll say I'm going wrong
They say that I should walk out


But that's not what I want
Ask anybody and they'll all say the same
But that's all right
'cause I know somehow
We can make it all right
And I'm putting up a fight
Somehow, somewhere
He'll change
And we'll try it all over again
Without all the pain.

You're lifting me up
Never let me down
And I smile
Whenever you're around

Ooh and I've got a feeling
It'll work out right
Can't stop thinking about you
Every day and night

Ooh, I got a love (I got somebody)
This love (got a hold on me)
Yeah, I got a love (I got somebody)
This love (got a hold on me)

Well, I've been in love
And I've lost
I can count the tears
But I can't count the cost

Oh, I've been down
I've been used
Now I know, I know, I know
That I just can't lose

Ooh, I got a love (I got somebody)
This love (got a hold on me)
Ooh, I got a love (I got somebody)
This love (got a hold on me)
Yeah, I got a love (I got somebody)
This love (got a hold on me)
Ooh, I got a love (I got somebody)
This love (got a hold on me)

Yeah, I got a love (I got somebody)
This love (got a hold on me)
Ooh, I got a love (I got somebody)
This love (got a hold on me)
I got a love (I got somebody)
This love's got a hold on me
I got a love (I got somebody)
This love (got a hold on me)

Ooh, I got a love (I got somebody)
This love (got a hold on me)
I got a love (I got somebody)
This love's got a hold on me

If you thought that I didn't care no more
What am I dreaming for?
Maybe you ain't got the time
To let go by

Who's dreaming this dream?
Who's dreaming this dream with me?
Thought you were by my side
Now I'm looking to find
Somebody dreaming this dream

Some version of the truth that we hoped to find
Has yet to show
It may seem too much to ask
But still
I've got to know

Who's dreaming this dream?
Who's dreaming this dream with me?
I'm gonna take my time
'Cause I know that I'll find
Somebody dreaming this dream

Who's dreaming this dream?
(I'm taking my time)
Who's dreaming this dream with me?
(I know I'm gonna find)
Thought you were by my side
Now I'm looking to find
Somebody dreaming with me

So if you thought that I didn't care no more
What am I dreaming for?
Maybe you ain't got the time
To let go by

Who's dreaming this dream?
Who's dreaming this dream with me?
I'm gonna take my time
'Cause I know that I'll find
Somebody dreaming this dream

Who's dreaming this dream?
(I'm taking my time)
Who's dreaming this dream with me?
(I know I'm gonna find)
Thought you were by my side
Now I'm looking to find
Somebody dreaming with me

Two a.m. and it's you on the telephone
Cryin' in your sleep
You figure since I got a shoulder and I live alone
You can come to me

Well, every time you find romantic infidelity
You make a point to let me know
I don't mind it if you make a martyr out of me
But there's one thing you got to know

I'm the one, I'm the one, yeah
To get you out of this
I'm the one, I am the one
I'm the one you miss
Baby, I'm the one

When you're feelin' like you need a little confidence
I'm the one you come to
Every time you get in some kinda sticky mess
I'm the one you run to

But you don't understand the heartache behind my kiss
You're just thankful for a friend
I'm not your doctor baby, I'm not your psychiatrist
But you keep come back again

'Cause I'm the one, I'm the one, yeah
To get you out of this
Well, I'm the one
I know where you're comin' from
I'm the one you miss
Baby, I'm the one

I'm the one, I'm the one, yeah
To get you out of this
Baby I'm the one, I am the one
I'm the one you miss
I'm the one

Oh I'm the one
I am the one
I am the one

Written by Todd Sharp and Alan Pasqua.


You walk into my life
With heartache on your mind
It's got me wondering about you
The playful innuendo
I'm tired of playing games
What I see through my window
Looks the same

Chorus:
Why are we keeping secrets
Why don't we both come clean and begin
I don't have the heart to hurt again
Why are we keeping secrets
Why don't we both come closer again
We're keeping secrets
We're keeping secrets

I don't like playing detective
Still I keep finding clues
We got to stop pretending
And pay the dues
Now I can see it coming
The writing's on the wall
We've got to stop this running
Before we fall
No, I don't wanna fall

Chorus
