All we wanted was each other; nothin' more. You were looking for an answer; you were out the door. I didn't know what you were after. i knew you had to take a chance, girl. Did you forget about the laughter? say oh, oh no.
Chorus: Oo, what you're missing could have been yours from the start. You won't listen when it's coming from the heart. Now you're missing me. You'll find that out when we're apart.
Had some crazy conversations. you know they seemed so right. Remember how it used to keep us up all night? I didn't know what you were after. maybe there never was an answer. Did you forget about the laughter? say oh, oh no.
Used to think that you'd do anything for me. I thought your heart was pounding at my door. Now it seems that things aren't right. You've been crying ev'ry night. You're rainy season just ain't slowing down. I still love you even though there's things you can't explain. I don't want to know if you've been lying all along. You've been running away. Now you've run out of places to hide. I can no longer stand here waiting for you to decide if there's a heart still left inside. There's someone watching tonight.
You've been trying for some time to get away from me. It's just the same old game you've tried before. We've talked it out a thousand time. It's still the same old useless lines. You've made your point now why can't I make mine? I still love you even though there's things you can't explain. I don't want to know if you've been lying all this time. You've been running away. Now you've run out of places to hide. I can no longer stand here waiting for you to decide if there's a heart still left inside. You can't get away. There's someone watching tonight.
She said, "Tell me what it's all about." I said "Why, why, why It's just something you could do without. You better try, try try She said, "I can't reach you on the telephone I can't call you when you're not at home You keep saying that you're all alone That's a lie, lie, lie
Bad advice had me down and undone Got to try again to believe in myself Look at me, I'm alone in the end Can you see me falling, falling down I said, "Mama can you get it straight She said "Why, why, why I wanna tell you that it just can't wait, so let's try, try, try She said, "I don't care where you might have gone. I don't care 'cause you've done me wrong. You been doin' it far too long So goodbye, bye, bye
She said "Tell me what it's all about." I said, "Why, why, why It's just something you can do without. You better try, try, try I can't reach you on the telephone. I can't call you when you're not at home You keep saying that you're all alone. That's a lie, lie, lie
I don't want any trouble. I don't want to make any waves. I don't want any conscience. And I don't wanna be brave. I've kept my distance. My feelings have never been shown. I know that I've been walking fences, Denied what I have known.
I carry chains. (I carry chains.) Heavy, heavy chains. (Chains that are made.) I carry chains (I carry chains) 'round my feet. I feel the weight (I feel the weight.) Chains are the different things that should not be hanging on me.
I put my conscience under a stone, the stone under the ground. Walked from where I had left it. I hoped it couldn't be found. My conscience persisted. It's a haunted seed I have sown. Calls me out from the distance And it just won't leave me alone.
I carry chains. (I carry chains.) Chains that are made. (Chains that are made.) I carry heavy chains. (I carry chains.) Talk about the weight. (I feel the weight.) Chains are the temporary things that should not be hanging on me.
Everybody needs a little time away I heard her say From each other Even lovers need a holiday Far away From each other Hold me now It's hard for me to say I'm sorry I just want you to stay After all that we've been through I will make it up to you I promise to And after all that's been said and done You're just the part of me I can't let go
Couldn't stand to be kept away Just for the day From your body Wouldn't wanna be swept away Far away From the one that I love Hold me now It's hard for me to say I'm sorry I just want you to know Hold me now I really want to tell you I'm sorry I could never let you go After all that we've been through I will make it up to you I promise to And after all that's been said and done You're just the part of me I can't let go After all that we've been through I will make it up to you I promise to
You're gonna be the lucky one
When we get there gonna jump in the air No one'll see us cause there's nobody there After all you know we really don't care Hold on I'm gonna take you there
One shoe on; one shoe off. Nothin' in life is decideable; wouldn't you know. Nothing's supposed to be easy. Take one day at a time. Ain't no need to hurry. Realize where you are, and where you're going to.
Follow me, ain't no need to go on all by yourself. Follow me; don't need nobody else. Follow me; and together we'll build a better life. Follow me.
One more time; toe the line; Nothing in life is impossible. Both of us know Life is as good as we make it. Dark reflections of the past Drown in our tomorrows. Time to laugh; time to love; Time to live again.
You had it so good for so long You thought you were so very strong You had too much glory Just a little too much too soon
You thought you could never be wrong She would always buy your song What a sad, sad story It's an age old story
Every man will get his chance To play the fool Every time he takes a chance And thinks he's cool
Sonny think twice Before you close the door Take my advice Your love can't take much more Something about your life is wrong When the lady who loves you more is gone And you don't know what to do When it all comes down to you
If you're so afraid to be loved Because you see too much What a sad, sad story But you brought it upon yourself
You gave it all up for fun Now you got nowhere to run With your sad, sad story It's an age old story
Every man will get his chance To play the fool Every time he takes his chances And thinks he's cool
Sonny think twice Before you close the door Take my advice Your love can't take much more Something about your life is wrong When the lady who loves you more is gone Sonny think twice
Now you don't know what to do When it all comes down to you
Don't think that she don't care 'Bout your Saturday night affair And you better watch out Somebody is gonna be there
Sonny think twice Before you close the door Take my advice Your love can't take much more Something about your life is wrong When the lady who loves you more is gone
Sonny think twice Before you close the door Take my advice Your love can't take much more Something about your life is wrong When the lady who loves you more is gone
Lonely nights; empty days, use me up so many ways. You came along and stole my heart away. I just wanna hold you darlin', tonight, knowin' that the love between us is right. I can't believe that you'd ever let me go; oh, no.
What can I say? What can I do? I'm so in love with you. Got to be strong; but, for how long must I have this feeling? Won't go away. Take me back to yesterday, I just wanna fade away Closer to you that what we used to be. Are we really gonna let it die? Close the book and give it one more try. I can't believe that you'd ever let me go; oh, no.
After he hurt you, you said you were leaving; you got up to walk out the door. The story he's telling you, you weren't believin'; you've certainly heard it before. And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad. I can't take it, it's makin' me mad. Say the word and I will rescue you. (Say the word, say the word) Say the word and I will come to rescue you.
I could be wrong, but unless I'm mistaken, it's only a matter of time. And I know you're giving him more than you've taken; you've come to the end of the line. And I can't stand it, you're feeling so sad. I can't take it, it's makin' me mad. Say the word and I will rescue you. (Say the word, say the word) Say the word and I will come to rescue you. (Say the word, say the word) Something missing in your life; tell you what I say; blues are on the run and help is on the way. Something missing in your life; tell you what I'll do. Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you. I'm gonna rescue you.
I just can't take it when your feeling so sad. I can't take it, it's making me mad. Something missing in your life; tell you what I say; blues are on the run and help is on the way. Something missing in your life; tell you what I'll do. Just like in a fairy tale, I'll rescue you. I'm gonna rescue you. Say the word, say the word Say the word and I will rescue you. Say the word and I will come to rescue you. You know that help is on the way
She said, "It's lonely here tonight She's always sad when she's alone. She said, "I need you here tonight." She couldn't wait 'til I get home. She loves me, and that's all I need to know. She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go. Then she said, "Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today. Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you much more than yesterday
You know it's always cold at night; it's always lonely 'til the dawn. And though it's not what we both want, knowing she's there, I'll carry on. Because she loves me, and that's all I need to know. She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go. Then she said, "Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me Love me tomorrow like today. Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you more than any words can say She loves me, and that's all I need to know. She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go. Then she said, "Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me Love me tomorrow like today. Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you much more than yesterday?" Love me tomorrow; love me tomorrow like today. Love me tomorrow; I need you much more than yesterday.
Old days Good times I remember Fun days Filled with simple pleasures Drive-in movies Comic books and blue jeans Howdy Doody Baseball cards and birthdays Take me back To a world gone away Memories Seem like yesterday
Old days Good times I remember Gold days Days I'll always treasure Funny faces Full of love and laughter Funny places Summer nights and streetcars Take me back To a world gone away Boyhood memories Seem like yesterday
Old days - in my mind and in my heart to stay Old days - darkened dreams of good times gone away Old days - days of love and feeling fancy free Old days - days of magic still so close to me Old days - in my mind and in my heart to stay Old days - darkened dreams of good times gone away Old days - days of love and feeling fancy free Old days - days of magic still so close to me
Right before my very eyes, I thought that you were only faking it. And right before my heart was taken in. Baby what a big surprise. Right before my very eyes.
Yesterday it seemed to me my life was nothing more than wasting time. But here today you slowly changed my mind Baby what a big surprise. Right before my very eyes.
Just to be alone was a little more than I could take Then you came to stay. You love me in the morns, you love me in the afternoons Help me find my way.
Now and then just like before I think about the love I've thrown away. But now it doesn't matter anyway. Baby what a big surprise. Right before my very eyes.
Girl, well it's been one of those days again And it seems like the harder I try Over and over, I'm right back where I began But you understand
Oh girl, when nothing else in this world goes right Oh I just want to run to you You'll pull me through Oh baby, who wouldn't want to have you in their life?
Tell me, what kind of man would I be Living a life without any meaning? And I know you could surely survive without me But if I had to live without you Tell me what kind of man would I be?
Times when it was pointless for me to try I was more than a desperate man What seemed like forever was gone with one touch of your hand
Oh, girl, if I could count all the sleepless nights When you were there for me A fool could see, oh baby Once that I found you there was no letting go
Tell me, what kind of man would I be Living a life without any meaning? And I know you could surely survive without me But if I had to live without you Tell me what kind of man would I be?
Thought it wouldn't matter If we didn't stay together And if it was over Maybe it was for the better
I was thinking I'd be alright Till I thought it all through Now I know that I ain't really living If I have to live without you
I don't wanna live without your love I don't wanna face the night alone I could never make it through my life If I had to make it on my own I don't wanna love nobody else I don't wanna find somebody new I don't wanna live without your love I just wanna live my life with you
Guess I had to go away So much I had to go through Guess I had to lose you To realize how much I love you Can we make the fire burn again, Burn a little stronger? 'Cause I've been alone and baby I can't be alone now any longer
I don't wanna live without your love I don't wanna face the night alone I could never make it through my life If I had to make it on my own I don't wanna love nobody else I don't wanna find somebody new I don't wanna live without your love I just wanna live my life with you
Oh, if I had to make it on my own my life would never be the same my love would never be the same I don't wanna live without your love
I don't wanna live without your love I don't wanna face the night alone I could never make it through my life If I had to make it on my own I don't wanna love nobody else I don't wanna find somebody new I don't wanna live without your love I just wanna live my life with you
Waiting for the break of day Searching for something to say Dancing lights againnst the sky Giving up I close my eyes Sitting cross-legged on the floor 25 or 6 to 4
Staring blindly into space Getting up to splash my face Wanting just to stay awake Wondering how much I can take Should have tried to do some more 25 or 6 to 4
[Guitar break]
Feeling like I ought to sleep Spinning room is sinking deep Searching for something to say Waiting for the break of day 25 or 6 to 4 25 or 6 to 4
I understand there's no future for us here Guess I fooled myself into thinking there was Now you've made it clear It'll never be right Guess we knew it all along Now we've got to say good-bye and I've got to be strong So tell me one more time how it's better for the both of us Tell me one more time how we'll hurt each other if we stay Tell me one more time then darling there's just one more thing Before you walk away (Chorus) Explain it to my heart It's better that we're over now Tell me one more time this is the way that it's supposed to be Tell me that I'm better off without you How it's better to forget about you Darling I understand Now won't you please explain it to my heart
Now if I try I can see the reasons why Why we can't stay together and I might convince my mind But it's breaking my heart to know I've got to let you go To find that I must leave behind the only love I've known Well I can tell myself that I never really needed you I can tell myself that it's better just to say good-bye I can tell myself a thousand lies But tell me now Tell me how do I (Chorus) Say that I'll be better If we don't stay together Say that I'll be better off free But don't say it to me Explain it to my heart...
There's a time when the heart can no longer give in You try to stand up and fight You've known pain for so long and you know what's gone wrong But you can't make it right Another broken heart is all you're feeling How can you go on But the memories of the times there was love in your eyes Keep leading me on (Chorus) If it were you Would you hold on and hope that it might Bring back the dreams we once knew Or just give up forever that part of your life Tell me what would you do If it were you
You can never take back all you've given in love No matter how hard you try Once it's over and done you just have to let go Though a part of you died Another waste of time is all that's left now But life must go on All the nights that we spent, never thought they would end Why can't they go on (Chorus) If it were you Would you hold on and hope that it might Bring back the love we once knew Or just give up forever that part of your life Tell me what would you do If it were you If it were you Tell me what would you do If it were you Over and over I go back through time Didn't we promise our love till we die Asking you deep down inside Did we really try Another broken heart is all that's left But life must go on All the nights that we spent, never thought they would end Why can't they go on (Chorus)
I picture you on the beach Lying in the sand Out of reach of my trembling hands I picture you in a car Blonde hair in the wind I picture you in my arms And the touch of your skin The smile on your face The way that you taste (Chorus) You come to my senses Every time I close my eyes I have no defenses You come to my senses I can't stop this ache inside I have no defenses You come to my senses
Driving home in the cold January rain I've got to find my way out of this pain I reached for you in the night I dreamed of your kiss I woke before it got light With your name on my lips Alone in my bed Your voice in my head (Chorus) I picture you in my arms And the touch of your skin The smile on your face The way that you taste You come to my senses Every time I close my eyes I have no defenses You come to my senses I can't stop this ache inside Oh, I have no defenses You come to my senses Ah...
The sun is coming up But I don't see the light I keep goin' on and on Thinking 'bout where we went wrong I've always heard that love Could stand the test of time But somethin' that we had is gone Maybe we just stayed too long I wish that I could lie And tell myself it's alright It was nothing at all (Chorus) Somebody, somewhere Is falling in love tonight Is it nothing at all Somebody, somewhere Is saying their last goodbyes I gotta know Is it the same when it comes And when love goes
Where do I go from here Don't know where to turn Will you find another face Or disappear in yesterday Should I hold on Should I let all the memories go Was it nothing at all (Chorus) She comes and goes... (Chorus)
