You're just too good to be true; Can't take my eyes off of you. You'd be like heaven to touch I wanna hold you so much. At long last love has arrived, I thank God I'm alive. You're just too good to be true; Can't take my eyes off of you.
Pardon the way that I stare: There's nothing else to compare. The sight of you leaves me weak; There are no words left to speak. But if you feel like I feel, Please let me know that it's real, You're just too good to be true; Can't take my eyes off of you.
I love you, baby! And if it's quite alright, I need you, baby, To warm a lonely night. I love you, baby; Trust in me when I say. Oh, pretty baby, Don't bring me down, I pray. Oh, pretty baby, Now that I found you, stay. And let me love you, baby, Let me love you.

I woke up early this morning around 4am With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake Ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms I've been tryin' my best to get along But that's OK There's nothing left to say, but
Take your records, take your freedom Take your memories I don't need 'em Take your space and take your reasons But you'll think of me And take your cat and leave my sweater 'Cause we have nothing left to weather In fact I'll feel a whole lot better But you'll think of me, you'll think of me
I went out driving trying to clear my head I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this And all the baggage that seems to still exist It seems the only blessing I have left to my name Is not knowing what we could have been What we should have been So
Take your records, take your freedom Take your memories I don't need 'em Take your space and take your reasons But you'll think of me And take your cat and leave my sweater 'Cause we have nothing left to weather In fact I'll feel a whole lot better But you'll think of me
Someday I'm gonna run across your mind Don't worry, I'll be fine I'm gonna be alright While you're sleeping with your pride Wishing I could hold you tight I'll be over you And on with my life
So take your records, take your freedom Take your memories I don't need 'em And take your cat and leave my sweater 'Cause we have nothing left to weather In fact I'll feel a whole lot better But you'll think of me
So take your records, take your freedom Take your memories I don't need 'em Take your space and all your reasons But you'll think of me And take your cat and leave my sweater 'Cause we got nothing left to weather In fact I'll feel a whole lot better But you'll think of me, you'll think of me, yeah
And you're gonna think of me Oh someday baby, someday
We dreamers have our ways Of facing rainy days And somehow we survive
We keep the feelings warm Protect them from the storm Until our time arrives
Then one day the sun appears And we come shining through those lonely years
I made it through the rain I kept my world protected I made it through the rain I kept my point of view I made it through the rain And found myself respected By the others who Got rained on too And made it through
When friends are hard to find And life seems so unkind Sometimes you feel afraid
Just aim beyond the clouds And rise above the crowds And start your own parade
'Cause when I chased my fears away That's when I knew that I could finally say
I made it through the rain I kept my world protected I made it through the rain I kept my point of view I made it through the rain And found myself respected By the others who Got rained on too And made it through...
When I said, I needed you You said you would always stay It wasn't me who changed, but you And now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone And I'm left here on my own And that I have to follow you And beg you to come home
You don't have to say you love me Just be close at hand You don't have to stay forever I will understand Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you But believe me, I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory Life seems dead and so unreal All that's left is loneliness There's nothing left to feel
You don't have to say you love me Just be close at hand You don't have to stay forever I will understand Believe me, believe me
Oh, you don't have to say you love me Just be close at hand You don't have to stay forever I will understand Believe me, believe me Believe me
Oceans apart day after day And I slowly go insane I hear your voice on the line But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never How can we say forever
Wherever you go Whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you Whatever it takes Or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times That I thought would last somehow I hear the laughter, I taste the tears But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go Whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you Whatever it takes Or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive This romance But in the end if I'm with you I'll take the chance!
Oh, can't you see it baby You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go Whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you Whatever it takes Or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you Waiting for you Waiting for you
Uptown girl She's been living in her uptown world I bet she never had a backstreet guy I bet her momma never told her why I'm gonna try
For an uptown girl She's been living in her white bread world As long as anyone with hot blood can And now she's looking for a downtown man That's what I am
And when she knows what she wants from her time And when she wakes up and makes up her mind She'll see I'm not so tough Just because I'm in love
With an uptown girl You know I've seen her in her uptown world She's getting tired of her high class toys And all the presents from her uptown boys She's got a choice
Uptown girl You know I can't afford to buy her pearls But maybe someday when my ship comes in She'll understand what kind of guy I've been And then I'll win
And when she's walking, she's looking so fine And when she's talking, she'll say that she's mine She'll say I'm not so tough Just because I'm in love
With an uptown girl She's been living in her white bread world As long as anyone with hot blood can And now she's looking for a downtown man That's what I am
Uptown girl She's my uptown girl Don't you know I'm in love With an uptown girl My uptown girl Don't you know I'm in love With an uptown girl My uptown girl Don't you know I'm in love With an uptown girl My uptown girl Don't you know I'm in love With an uptown girl My uptown girl
Rows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air and feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way. But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone. So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now, from up and down, and still somehow it's cloud illusions I recall. I really don't know clouds at all.
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel as every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way. But now it's just another show. You leave 'em laughing when you go and if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now, from give and take, and still somehow it's love's illusions that I recall. I really don't know love at all.
Tears and fears and feeling proud, to say "I love you" right out loud, dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way. But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say I've changed. Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now, from win and lose, and still somehow it's life's illusions I recall. I really don't know life at all.
Spend all your time waiting For that second chance For a break that would make it okay There's always some reason to feel not good enough And it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction Oh, beautiful release Memories seep from my veins Let me be empty Oh, and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the angel Fly away from here From this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie You're in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort there
So tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn There's vultures and thieves at your back The storm keeps on twisting Keep on building the lies that you make up for all that you lack It don't make no difference Escape one last time It's easier to believe In this sweet madness Or this glorious sadness That brings me to my knees
In the arms of the angel Fly away from here From this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie You're in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort there You're in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort here
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally Perfect situations must go wrong But this has never yet prevented me Wanting far too much for far too long Looking back, I could have played it differently Won a few more moments, who can tell? But it took time to understand the man Now at least I know, I know him well
Wasn't it good (oh so good), Wasn't it fine (oh so fine) Isn't it madness he can't be mine But in the end, he needs a little more than me More security, he needs his fantasy and freedom I know him so well
No one in your life is with you constantly No one is completely on your side And though I move my world to be with him Still the gap between us is too wide Looking back, I could have played it differently (Looking back, I could have played things another way) Learned about the man before I fell (I was just a little careless maybe) But I was ever so much younger then now at least (Now at least I know him well) I know I know him well
Wasn't it good (oh so good), Wasn't he fine (oh so fine) Isn't it madness he can't be mine Didn't I know (didn't I know) how it would go If I knew from the start Why, why am I falling apart He can't be mine
But in the end, he needs a little bit more than before More security, he needs his fantasy and freedom I know him so well It took time to understand him I know him so well
I am what I am I am my own special creation. So come take a look, Give me the hook or the ovation. It's my world that I want to have a little pride in, My world, and it's not a place I have to hide in. Life's not worth a damn, 'Till you can say, "Hey World, I am what I am."
I am what I am, I don't want praise, I dont want pity. I bang my own drum, Some think it's noise I think its pretty. And so what, if I love each sparkle and each bangle, Why not try to see things from a different angle Your life is a sham 'Till you can shout out loud I am what I am
I am what I am And what I am needs no excuses. I deal my own deck Sometimes the aces, sometimes the deuces. There's one life, and there's no return and no deposit; One life, so it's time to open up your closet. Life's not worth a damn 'Till you can say, "Hey world, I am what I am."
From a distance the world looks blue and green And the snow-capped mountains white From a distance the ocean meets the stream And the eagle takes to flight
From a distance there is harmony And it echoes through the land It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace It's the voice of every man
From a distance we all have enough And no one is in need There are no guns, no bombs, no diseases No hungry mouths to feed
From a distance we are instruments Marching in a common band Playing songs of home, playing songs of peace They're the songs of every man God is watching us, God is watching us God is watching us from a distance
From a distance you look like my friend Even though we are at war From a distance I can't comprehend What all this war is for
From a distance there is harmony And it echoes through the land It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves It's the heart of every man
It's the hope of hopes, It's the love of loves It's the song of every man
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally Perfect situations must go wrong But this has never yet prevented me Wanting far too much for far too long Looking back, I could have played it differently Won a few more moments, who can tell? But it took time to understand the man Now at least I know, I know him well
Wasn't it good (oh so good), Wasn't it fine (oh so fine) Isn't it madness he can't be mine But in the end, he needs a little more than me More security, he needs his fantasy and freedom I know him so well
No one in your life is with you constantly No one is completely on your side And though I move my world to be with him Still the gap between us is too wide Looking back, I could have played it differently (Looking back, I could have played things another way) Learned about the man before I fell (I was just a little careless maybe) But I was ever so much younger then now at least (Now at least I know him well) I know I know him well
