Used to feel so fucking optimistic till she said goodbye Never thought a love like ours could die Told myself, I'd never love another all I want is friends But when we met, I felt it all again
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies I say hello to love I'm seeing through different eyes And if I had a chance to make one wish And know it would come true I'd start all over with you
Every evening, I would watch the sunset end another day Let the night time wash my blues away Buried my romantic inclination deep inside of me Till I fell for you immoderately
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies I say hello to love I'm seeing through different eyes And if I had a chance to make one wish And know it would come true I'd start all over with you
I remember all the good times And the bad times spent together Why remember all the old times When the new times look much better, much better?
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies I say hello to love I'm seeing through different eyes And if I had a chance to make one wish And know it would come true I'd start all over with you
And if I had a chance to make one wish And know it would come true I'd start all over with you, with you
Get up in the morning, check out the weather If it looks like sun, I get my things together Throw some cutoffs on Got my tank-top and tennises now and head for the beach
Well, I'm drivin' down the highway Losin' all my patience, pushin' all the buttons Tryin' to find a station with a screamin' jock Turnin' out my daily ration of
(Cruisin' music, sure good music) To put the fun back in summertime I need some cruisin' music to make everything alright
Well, I'm flyin' down the freeway Floatin' like a feather I've got my windows rolled down In the hot summer weather
With my radio up loud Nothing makes me feel better Than some good rock 'n' roll (Good good, good rock and roll)
Those suntanned girls are lookin' outta sight A beach-drenched chick would never get uptight 'Cause when the sun goes down We'll be dancin' through the night and singin'
(Cruisin' music, sure good music) To put the pop back in summertime I need some cruisin' music to make everythin' alright
It's time you heard some happy music God knows this world could really use a little sunshine So won't you make mine (Yeah) You know I need some more of that
(Cruisin' music, sure good music) To put the fun back in summertime I need some cruisin' music to make everything alright
(Cruisin' music, sure good music) To put the fun back in summertime I need some cruisin' music to make everything alright
Well I know it sounds funny But I'm not in it for the money, no I don't need reputation And I'm not in it for the show
I just want a hit record Want to hear it on the radio Want a big hit record One that everybody's got to know
Well the program director don't pull it Then it's bound to get back the bullet So bring the group down to the station You're gonna be an overnight sensation
I've been tryin' to write the lyric Not offensive but satiric, too If you can get it in the "A" slot It's just gotta make a mint for you
And I want a hit record Want to hear it on the radio Want a big hit record One that everybody's got to own
Overnight sensation I fit the words To a good melody Amazing how success Has been ignoring me so long
I've used my bread Making demos all day And writing in the night While in my head I hear The record play Hear it play
Hit record, yeah Want a hit record, yeah Want a hit record, yeah (Number one) Want a hit record, yeah (Number one)
Back beat boogie got a hold on me Make me wanna jump and shout Twisting like a top, I never want to stop tonight
You surely look like a magazine And you can move like I've never seen Reelin' and a rockin', babe Come on and dance with me
[Chorus:] I'm a rocker, I'm a roller I been a boogieing since I ditched the stroller So come on hold me tight And we can rock the night away
[Chorus]
Tight-booted teenie with the smiling face Make me want to smile and shake Come on out today and shimmy like a rattlesnake
You surely look like a movie queen And you can move like I've never seen Reelin' and a rockin, babe Come on and dance with me
[Chorus x2]
I get this feeling when I hear that beat I gotta jump and get up on the table 'Cause when that rhythm and blues electrifies my shoes I get the message like it came by cable Hey
I get this feeling when I hear that beat I gotta jump and get up on the table 'Cause when that rhythm and blues electrifies my shoes I get the message like it came by cable
Back beat boogie got a hold on me, Make me wanna jump and shout Twisting like a top, I never want to stop tonight
You surely look like a magazine And you can move like I've never seen Reelin' and a rockin, babe Come on and dance with me
[Chorus x2]
Hold me tight and we can rock the night away So come on, hold me tight and we can rock the night away
I never knew how complete love could be 'Til she kissed me and said
Baby, please, go all the way It feels so right (feels so right) Being with you here tonight Please, go all the way Just hold me close (hold me close) Don't ever let me go
I couldn't say what I wanted to say 'Til she whispered, I love you
So please, go all the way It feels so right (feels so right) Being with you here tonight Please, go all the way Just hold me close (hold me close) Don't ever let me go
Before her love I was cruel and mean I had a hole in the place Where my heart should have been
But now I've changed And it feels so strange I come alive when she does All those things to me
And she says (come on) Come on (come on) Come on (come on) Come on (come on) I need ya (come on) I love ya (come on) I need ya (come on) Oh, oh, baby
Please, go all the way It feels so right (feels so right) Being with you here tonight Please, go all the way Just hold me close (hold me close) Don't ever let me go no
One, two, three, four When you smiled at me And I saw your eyes All I ever wanted to be Was in your arms tonight You looked too young to know about romance Oh, yes you did But when you smiled, I had to take a chance I had to take a chance and be with you
Tonight I'll be with you tonight Tonight You'll love me too tonight Whoa baby, tonight
I'm making love to you Whoa, tonight Bop-om-doo-doh-woh-mop-shoo Whoa, tonight You're gonna love me too tonight Woh, tonight
I don't know myself If it's wrong or right All I know is what I can feel So be my love tonight You looked too young to know about romance Oh, you know what I mean But when you smiled, I had to take a chance I had to take a chance and be with you
Whoa, tonight Won't you let me sleep with you, baby Whoa, tonight I just wanna make you feel good inside, baby Whoa, tonight Let me feel the love that's in you Whoa, tonight Come on, come on, come on, come on and let me Come on, baby Whoa, tonight
Well it's all been said, it's over now, I guess that I should leave 'Cause there's nothin' left for me to do except to set you free So let me leave now before I cry, I'll just go back to my room and hide And never let no one else inside to do this again
But if you change your mind, won't you take some time And let me know that you still want me too 'Cause I'll wait night and day until you say That you have changed your mind, won't you change your mind If you should change your mind, oh yeah
Well I tried so hard to be the one that you were dreaming of But I guess it wasn't quite enough to make you fall in love So walk away, leave me by myself and let me crawl back into my shell And be the me that I do so well before I met you
But if you change your mind won't you take some time And let me know that you still want me too 'Cause I'll wait night and day until you say That you have changed your mind, won't you change your mind If you should change your mind, oh yeah
I'll be waitin' at home, just call me up on the phone And I'll be by your side, there's no reason to hide If you need me just call, don't you worry at all But if this is the end and I can't see you again I just can't carry on, it's so hard when you're gone It's so hard when you're gone, oh oh, oh oh, oh no, oh Baby don't leave, oh baby, baby don't go, oh baby don't go
But if you change your mind, won't you take some time And let me know that you still want me too 'Cause I'll wait night and day until you say That you have changed your mind, won't you change your mind If you should change your mind, oh yeah
But if you change your mind, won't you take some time And let me know that you still want me too 'Cause I'll wait night and day until you say That you have changed your mind, won't you change your mind If you should change your mind, oh yeah
But if you change your mind, won't you take some time And let me know that you still want me too 'Cause I'll wait night and day until you say That you have changed your mind, won't you change your mind If you should change your mind oh yeah
When I see the way she looks at him Hurts so bad, you know it's such a sin To see her love him while I just walk on by (Nobody knows) what it does to me (Nobody knows) no one could ever see Nobody knows what it does to me Now those tender looks upon her face Are meant for someone else who's in my place And he's her lover the way I used to be I can see her dancing with someone else Holding him so close while I'm by myself I just want to hit him but that won't do All I know is I've got to find some way I can get to you When I see the way she holds his hand It burns inside me, I can't understand How could she love him the way she once loved me Nobody knows
I can't begin to count the times I have been by myself I lie awake my lonely room Tells me there's no one else, no one else
I reach for the light it shines above my head Reveals the bed that you're not in I reach for the light it shines across the room And brings to mind what might have been
I tell myself I'm better off No one can have me now I see your crumpled photograph It makes me laugh out loud, laugh out loud
I reach for the light it shines above my head Reveals the bed that you're not in I reach for the light it shines across the room And brings to mind what might have been
And I wish I could forget How good you look, tonight When you smiled at me And walked away with him, oh, oh no
I reach for the light it shines above my head Reveals the bed that you're not in I reach for the light it shines across the room And brings to mind what might have been
I reach for the light, now (I reach for the light) I tell myself I'm better off No one can hurt me now (I reach for the light)
I see your crumpled photograph It makes me laugh out loud (I reach for the light) I lay wake my lonely room Tells me there's no one there (I reach for the light) I just can't stay [Incomprehensible] (I reach for the light)
I can't sleep nights Wishing you were here beside me Can't help feeling That's way it ought to be You know we could run (run, run) away And i couldn't bear to hear The things they'd say Oh no
[Chorus] Baby let's pretend That tonight could live forever If we close our eyes And believe it might come true
Baby let's pretend We could always be together But for now just let me Spend the night with you
Somehow, someday Things are gonna be so different Don't cry Some way I promise it will be all right So now that we're all alone I couldn't bear To ever take you home Oh no
[Chorus]
Baby let's pretend We could always live together But for now just let me Spend the night with you
So take me now My love can't wait We're almost there now darlin' Darlin' hold me, hold me Hold me
[Chorus]
Baby let's pretend We could always live together But for now just let me Spend the night with you
Don't want to drive your love away from me Don't want to waste your time You're here and there and far away from me I'm so alone, it's just a crime If you could lie here by my side at night If you could chase away my blues You'd understand just how it feels at night To have to stand inside my shoes Don't want to say goodbye Don't want to let you see me cry Still, I don't want you to live a lie I'm gonna try a little harder I'm gonna try a little harder I'm gonna try a little harder And maybe you'll love me Don't want to drive your love away from me Don't want to waste your time You're here and there and far away from me I'm so alone, it's just a crime
