unknown

I was lying there

Lying on the beach

I dreamed you where there

Feel the heat

The sun and the waves

When you touch my hand

We were on a desert island

I had a dream

I was swept away

You and i are on an island

Where i thought the storm would never end

I saw your light on the horizon

And i knew that i was blown away again

No it doesn't matter

Yeah, it doesn't matter

'cause nothing lasts forever

'cause nothing last forever

No it doesn't matter

No it doesn't matter

'cause nothing lasts forever

Nothing last forever

I was swept away

I was swept away

I was swept away with you

I was swept away

I was swept away

I was swept away with you

The rise and fall is endless

The risk you run of being lost in blue

You caught my drift while i was restless

When the current flows

I'm gonna go with you

No it doesn't matter

Yeah, it doesn't matter

'cause nothing last forever

Nothing last forever

No it doesn't matter

No it doesn't matter

'cause nothing last forever

Nothing last forever

I was swept away

I was swept away

I was swept away with you

I was swept away

I was swept away

I was swept away with you

For a day

Or maybe for a lifetime

Break away

Is he throwing me a lifeline

As i say

That this will be the last time

Swept away

Will it end with you?

I was swept away

Swept away

Swept away

No it won't, no it won't

No it doesn't matter

Nothing last forever

When something is wrong with my baby

Something is wrong with me

And if i know she's worried

Then i would feel that same misery

We've been through so much together

We stand as one and that's what makes it better

When something is wrong with my baby

Something is wrong with me



Just what she means to me, now

Oh you just wouldn't, you just wouldn't understand

People can't say she's no good

But oh she's my woman and i know i'm her man

And if she's got a problem

Oh oh i know, i know i've got to help her solve 'em

When something is wrong with my baby

Something is wrong with me

Sing it again

When something is wrong with my baby

Something is wrong with me...

I like to read and i like to write

But you could persuade me to put the book down tonight

Just please don't ask to be a song heroine

It's not that easy just to stick you in, stick you in

Oh babe, i know you're right

But there's no time and it's not the night

I'd have to face you again and again

Although you know i'd like to stick you in, stick you in

They're all sacred songs

They're not easily won

You know the words just seem to live on

The thoughts are sacred

Though the sound is profane

But this and that you know they're

One and the same

One and the same

One and the one and the same

You never know how you're gonna end

I start out hard and i end up thin

You waste your time but you occasionally score

But you can't tell from what went down before, down before

Oh babe, do you see my point?

There's just no time and it's not the night

I'd have to face you again and again

Although you know i'd like to stick it in, stick it in

They're all sacred songs

They're not easily won

You know the words just seem to live on

The thoughts are sacred

Though the sound is profane

But this and that you know they're

One and the same

One and the same

One and the one and the same

Babs and babs lay dreaming in a four poster bed

Arm in arm, head to head, babs and babs

Babs said, "whatcha thinking?"

She said, "nothing

But i never do 'cause i leave it up to you"

Babs looked out the window

Saw the moon and the sky

She saw the clouds drifting by

Voices crying and sighing and dying but she said nothing

"look out on the lawn, there's a moon out tonight

There's a moon out tonight, can'tcha see?"

"silver dreams don't move me or your talk of the stars

And this isn't the time or place to make a fool of me.

No one wants to hear you when you're slipping away

And the light of your day always shows up the strength of your vision."

But she said nothing.

So babs said "don't you worry, i'll take good care of you

You're lack of feeling's a rotten thing

But i'll show you what to do.

Girl, you've got to get away

Girl, you've got to feel, oh, yeah."

Babs said "don't you patronize me, i'm fine the way i am

At least i know what's happening

And i know just where i stand.

You live alone you die alone

When your dreams all fade away, oh, yeah."

Never compromising, never see eye to eye

So they turn, with a sigh, babs and babs

Have to be together like the night and the day

So they might as well stay the best of friends.

Locked in love we leave them with the moon in the sky

With the clouds drifting by

Voices crying and sighing and dying and we say nothing

She said nothing

It's afternoon in the homeroom and they're about to let you go.
And the locker slam on the plan you had tonight.
You've been messing around with a boyfriend maybe better left alone.
There's a wise guy that you know could put you right.

In the lot the boy that's idling by doesn't rev your heart.
Cause it's only lonely spots he shares with you.
And the long halls and the gray walls are gonna split apart.
Believe it or not there's life after high school.

The student body's got a bad reputation.
What they need is adult education.
Back to school it's a bad situation.
But what you want is an adult education.

The teacher don't know about how to deal with the student body.
And the underclassmen are flashing hot and cool.
All your girlfriends care about the watch you wear and they're talkin' about it.
Believe it or not there's life after high school.

They're calling it a preparation.
You're waiting for a separation.
You're nothing but another odd number,
Memories that you won't remember.
So you got a little education.
And a lot of dedication.
But you want a little night school.
Maybe some of it will rub off on you.
The boys are busy in the mirrors.
Trying to imitate their heroes.
You make it with a false surrender.
More memories you won't remember.
The senior with the junior miss's
I wonder what the junior wishes.
That she could graduate to adult.
That she could graduate to adult kisses.

You burn me up i'm a cigarette
You hold my hand i begin to sweat
You make me nervous
Ooh i'm nervous
It must be real bad karma
For this to be my dharma
With you

You burn me up i'm a cigarette
Life with you is a loser's bet
You make me crazy
Ooh i'm going crazy
Your therapeutic antics
Well they really make me frantic
With you

Strategic interaction irreducible fraction
Terminal inaction and a bitter hostile faction
I'm getting anxious
I'm franxious
Transactional diseases are the only thing that pleases
We

You burn me up i'm a cigarette
Demanding my attention which you're not gonna get
What did the sage mean?
What had the sage seen?
Musical elation is my only consolation
Oh yeah

You burn me up i'm about to ignite
When you tell me you love me i give up this fight
I'm feeling put down my feelings shut down
I want rejuvenation from male emancipation

Strategic interaction terminal inaction
A bitter hostile faction irreducible fraction
Transactional diseases are the only thing that pleases
We

How many hearts can

Have everything

Never ever found the one and all

The fire it brings

I wanna try more now than i

Dared before

I've got to know what passion is

Girl i've got to find the love

Day to day nothing there

I had to let go

Heard a call that i resisted 'cos it

Had no soul

When you get and never give it

It's so cold

You're something else, oh i know

I've got this wildfire that only grows

Every day it's in my soul

This wildfire, it's burnin' deep

It's burnin' deep - burnin' burnin'

Wildfire

It didn't take long

All my life is not too long

This wildfire is burning bright

Burnin' bright, burnin', burnin'

All around me

There's a fire that's catching on

Make a burning field of dreams

Little spark of light touched

And grew

Fed by all the love

That i'm feeling here with you

No one can believe it, but

They can see

That since we've been together

You've made a change in me

Being alone is so wrong, it's so cold

When something's right, ooh i know

I've got this wildfire that only grows

Every day it's in my soul

This wildfire, it's burnin' deep

It's burnin' deep - burnin' burnin'

Wildfire

It didn't take long

All my life is not too long

This wildfire is burning bright

Burnin' bright, burnin', burnin'

We gotta live to give - live and

Let love

Be here in the moment with the

One i want

'cos being alone is so wrong

It's so cold

When something's right, i know

Baby's gone

Said she's movin' on

Telling me

I ain't comin' along

I thought you said you were satisfied

You've given up on everything we tried for, why?

How can you justify sacrificing our love

Justify

Sacrificing our love

Smoking gun

Hoid it in your hand

You can't deny

I'm the victim of your plan

Innocence with a guilty side

I don't understand

Tell me why oh why

How can you justify sacrificing our love

Justify

Sacrificing our love

Lonely hearts finally find a home

Then they part

Like everybody does

Guess the love meant more to me

Go your way

But i can't see... why

How can you justify sacrificing our love

Justify

Sacrificing our love

F-ing short the loving lasts
I can't mix the future with the past
Can i stay close to you
I wanna stay close to you


You've got yours and i've got mine
And what we have in so hard to define
Just take a look at your life line
You've got a lot to shine
Let's say baby,
I wanna know you for a long long time
Ooh baby
I wanna know you for a long long time


Oh darling, lady friend
We'll see each other when it's time to show
Just for a minute or for a year
But then again, don't you and i know


A time between our time together
It doesn't exist, it grows old forever
Just take a look at your life line
Ob baby, you've got a lot to shine
I know it baby,
I wanna know you for a long long time
Ob and baby,

I wanna know you for a long long time
I wanna know baby, i wanna know baby
Oh you've got a lot to live girl
So i wanna know you for a long long time
I wanna know, i wanna know,
I wanna know baby
So much to live for girl,
So much to live for girl
So i wanna know you baby
Wanna know you for a long long time.
I wanna know, wanna know ...


(etc. and fade)

1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4 -


It's uncanny, the way you always call
Every time i think about you
It's uncanny baby, the way you always know
Just what i'm going through
Sometimes you take me by surprise
And i don't know what to say
When i'm not alone
You always find me where i lay
When you call my name and take my breath away
It's uncanny baby, it's uncanny baby
Please don't you know


When i was lonely, you were my friend
When i needed you, you took me in girl
When i was crazy, you bring me back home
When i see you, i'm in love
I'm in love, i'm in love again
It's hard to talk about all the trouble that i feel
And i can't always see what's fantasy,
What's real
But when you call my name,
The wave disappears
It's uncanny baby, uncanny baby
You keep on doin' it girl

You do it to me, you do it to me
When i think about you don't you know
I hear that doorbell ringing in my ear
You do it to me, you do it to me
Your love's so good and interesting
Shows no sign of ending
Just keeps on taking me higher
Uncanny baby, uncanny baby, please girl
Uncanny baby, you know it's uncanny
You know it's uncanny now
Every time, every time i think about you
You know it's uncanny
Oh you always come through girl
You know it's uncanny, you know it's uncanny baby
Keep on doin' it girl,
You know it's uncanny .....

I forgot just how to feel

City scene ain't no big deal

Soul deep so ya say

None of that takes my breath away

Oh i always seem to see

Both sides when they disagree

And neither one seems right

Too much city life

Is messin' with my inner lite

And everybody's too cool to believe

I wasn't born yesterday

You should know by now

So let's set the record straight

And we can carry on

I wasn't born yesterday

I'll find out

I ain't innocent

Lots of room for me to doubt

I never learned to cry

So far so extreme

If i'm jaded, you're naive

But behind that cynic's steady gaze

There's a wide-eyed lover drink for days

Oh i don't want to be

One of those guys who only sees

The joke behind the lie

Too much city life

May i don't know wrong from right

But baby i ain't too cool to believe

I wasn't born yesterday

I don't die for love

Just let the record speak

Then i carry on

I wasn't born yesterday

I don't die for love

It's never too late to come of age

Never too late

Oh i wanna learn to cry

Imagine a world where the truth always changes

The more that you listen, the more you can hear

A world full of questions and no single answers

Memories a minefield of dangerous tears

Lcons are symbols,

They haunt us through time

Anger's a weapon,

That seems to divide



Chorus



Along the road,

That leads to desire,

Inside our secret heart

Pleasure we take

Is our desire

We found our secret heart

(our secret heart)



Boundaries of pleasure remain undecided

Instinct's a power that never stands stiii

Looking for answers in unknown places

In the depths of our darkness, we will find our will

Speakin' in a language, not found within

It's a curious stranger who fools with sin



Chorus x2



Illusions are something we reason inside us

Secrets are something we keep close to home

Oh i know that you think it's a vague supposition

(ya well) yet here we are in the wild zone

(wild zone)

Speakin' in a language

Not found within

It's a curious stranger who fools with sin



Chorus x3

Say it isn't so painful to tell me that you're dissatisfied.

Oh don't you say

Oh you know i want to make you...

There comes a time when we need a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying, oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We're all a part of god's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start givin'

There's a choice we're makin'
We're savin' our own lives
It's true, we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Well, send them you your heart so they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As god has shown us by turning stone to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start givin'

Whoa, there's a choice we're makin'
We're savin' our own lives
It's true, we'll make a better day
Just you and me

When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall

Well, well, well, let us realize
Oh, that one change can only come
When we stand together as one
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start givin'

There's a choice we're makin'
We're savin' our own lives
It's true, we'll make a better day
Just you and me

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start givin'

Sisters and brothers, come on

(repeat and fade with ad lib)

People don't read so easy

Never wanna say what's on their mind

Go from dreams to dollars

Then they wonder why the truth seems so unkind

They just hold on tighter and tighter

Running down the road that they know so well

Never wanna change the order

Too quick to say that time will tell

Let it out - unlock the box

Let it out - unravel the knots

Let it out - if you've got something to say

Let it out - get it out of the way

Why be an artful dodger

Come cool kind of fool who can slide on by

There's a whole lot of art in sadness

So make it worth your while if you're gonna cry

Let it out - unlock the box

Let it out - unravel the knots

Let it out - if you've got something to say

Let it out - get it out of the way

You've got to push pull

Loosen up baby

Let out all the rage

Get a little crazy

Rearrange your furniture

Don't be afraid

You gotta push it

Pull it

Push it

Pull it

Any way you gotta do it

Just as long as you let it out

Oh, let's make it groove

Taking it nice and smooth

Turn out the light - i can see

Your face

It's you and i - in the time and place

The radio playing teddy's groove

The city nights - nothing love

Couldn't do

Oh, baby, it's been too long

I need to feel the same thing

That made that time our own

Oh, let's make it groove

Taking it nice and smooth

I'm in a philly mood

Oh, baby come down

I wanna hold you now

I'm in a philly mood

Lay down your love - i can feel

Your soul

When night is gone let our hearts

Carry on

As sure as you are of the love

We made

I know sometimes we've been so

Out of place

Oh, lately, girl it seems that we've

Come home

To the place that made that time

Our own

Oh, let's make it groove

Taking it nice and smooth

I'm in a philly mood

Oh, baby come down

I wanna hold you now

I'm in a philly mood

Oh, let's make it groove

Taking it twice as smooth

I'm in a philly mood

Oh, baby come on

I wanna hold you now

I'm in a philly mood

(gloryland, in gloryland

(you're here in gloryland)



It started with a feeling

And a dream was born in you

You hope and pray that come the day

You'll see that dream come true.



With every passing moment

You begin to understand

That you're bound for gloryland.



With a hunger in your heart

And with fire in your soul,

With passion rising high,

You know that you can reach your goal.



Believe in what you do

And you've the strength to see it through

On the road to gloryland.



(and i say...)

Gloryland, in gloryland

It's in your heart, it's in your hand.

In gloryland, in gloryland,

You're here in gloryland.

This is gloryland.



As the day gets ever closer

You are reaching for the sky.

The flames that burn inside

Are the flames that never die.

When you start to believe

It's in your heart,

It's in your hand.

You know, this is gloryland.



(and i say...)

Gloryland in gloryland,

It's in your heart,

It's in your hand

In gloryland, hey gloryland.

You're here in gloryland.

(repeat)

We've been through love time & time again

Tried for true love with enemies and friends

Looked at romance every way

Now my heart can't take that anymore anyway



Chorus:

Let me be the one

One with you

Let me be the one

To make your dreams come true

All i wanna do

Is be with you one day

Let me be the one

One heart one way

You've been let down

You've been left alone

And remember when i look you home

We looked at our lives every way

Now our soul can't take anymore

Oh no way



Chorus:

Let me be the one

One with you

Let me be the one

To make your dreams come true

All i wanna do

Is be with you one day

Let me be the one

One heart

I wanna know how you feel

Let your whole heart get in the way

If you don't know, think of something tender to say

As long as it's me, then it's alright

A young hog in the hood playin' chase

Smile on his face

Havin' fun 'cuz it ain't nothin' like this place

And you don't wanna race

Fool i got the new ones on

And we can run from the corner to the newman's home

And after that we goin' go raid the plum tree

And stick ball down where those bos be

Mom's got the door open bumpin' marvin gaye

Let's get it on all day everyday

At night i pray

Lord just let me make it

And if i die before i wake then my soul you take it

Never fake it

My older brother taught me game

And sometimes even let the young soldier hang

As a loc

My only duty was to soak

And pass it on to my comrads and closest folks

All friends i knew about it as a child

I stood proud have you ever seen a ghetto smile?



I'm at the junior high actin' bad at the dance

The slow jam got me with a woody in my pants

And my baby with me

Her momma used to babysit me

And back then she was just plain old pretty

But nowadays it seems that she done grown

Jeans fitting and her perm gotta hella long

Would i be wrong if i whisper and take her down

And maybe play housesitter with her like the pound

It's goin' down about now in the northern bay

The og's put it down and make they pay

Flip a 6-8 'stang with the blew out braids

The only homey in the hood ridin' on thangs

And as i peep it thangs have got a little deeper

And everybody and their momma done bought a beeper

And then they post on the lake gettin' loose and wild

You know the scene it's the ghetto smile



At 18 i graduated and now i'm grown

About time for the dog to get his own bone

I left home got a condo out on quailridge

And like a king is how this young playa live

Swimmin' parties in the pool with my dope to roll

Wasn't trippin' off nathin' we was all folks

Hillside in the house and we gettin' perved

Freestylin' gettin' on my neighbor's nerves

I love the hood so everyday i'm back to visit

And swoop the young so that they can come through and kick it

And peep the game just as i did as a kid

And watch the savage get his cabbage and place his bid

And even though we fight we still remain game tight

Handle business and always open for fogiveness

It ain't nothin' like a homey you ain't seen in awhile

So when you meet him greet him with that ghetto smile

Lt seems it's getting harder
Yeah, it's so hard to find o lover
Okay the boys are getting better
But they still fall down under
Close examination, baby
Lt used to be essential
But that was purely elemental
Investigations always led to
One way conversations
Lt took me a little while to get
Myself acquainted
L'm just about ready for the
Right inspiration...c'mon now
Heart don't fail me now
Could he be the one i've waited for...
Oh yeah
Could he be the one being that
I miss around here
He could be the one...
He could be the one...
I wake up every morning
Inside my private little jewel box
Lt's not so bad to be alone
Don't want no substitution...
L'd rather be alone than with someone and lonely
Lt'd take a lot more
Than strong arms to hold me...c'mon now...
Chorus
Heart don't fail me now
Don't mess my mind up
Ooo don't you fail me now
Lt's no wonder l'm so tough
Heart don't fail me now

I've got sunshine

On a cloudy day.

When it's cold outside,

I've got the month of may.

Well, i guess you'll say

What can make me feel this way?

My girl. (my girl, my girl)

Talkin' 'bout my girl. (my girl)

I've got so much honey

The bees envy me.

I've got a sweeter song

Than the birds in the trees.

Well, i guess you'll say

What can make me feel this way?

My girl. (my girl, my girl)

Talkin' 'bout my girl. (my girl)

Ooooh, hoooo.

Hey, hey, hey. hey, hey, hey.

I don't need no money,

Fortune or fame.

I've got all the riches, baby,

One man can claim.

Well, i guess you'll say

What can make me feel this way?

My girl. (my girl, my girl)

Talkin' 'bout my girl. (my girl)

Talkin' bout my girl.

I've got sushine on cloudy day

With my girl.

I've even got the month of may

With my girl.

Talkin' bout, talkin' bout my girl . . .

Ever growing

The dreams that we accumulated

Never knowing

The demons that we created

Villans stole the spotlight

While love was waiting in the wings

Left us with a long night

And a hunger for material things

But when it's gone, gone baby

And we're livin' with ourselves again

Will it dawn on us darling

That the love we had is worth more

Than we spend

Money changes everything

I'll turn your world around so fast

Money changes everything

Money

Money changes everything

No one questions how long

It will last

Money changes everything

Money

Sorry baby

I was a stranger to myself

Sometimes

No excuses

The best intentions come

Tumblin' down

When it's gone, baby

Will it be the way it was before?

When it's gone, gone darlin'

Will we realize what the money

Was for?

Money changes everything

I'll turn your world around so fast

Money changes everything

Money

Money changes everything

No one questions how long

It will last

Money changes everything

Money

Love

Does it feel like it did?

Money changes everything

I can see the anger

And i surely feel

All the passion, baby gone astray

Why are we divided

So dissatisfied

Does it matter what we do or say

I can't see the wisdom

Never gonna give in

When the love is not so far away

I was hoping for more

I'm still hoping for sure

Isn't anybody dreamin'

Isn't anybody thinking

Or am i all by myself

Isn't anybody teachin'

Why is everybody preachin'

Am i all by myself

Don't you feel it lately

That you're the only one

Who can see through bitter lies right here

Like everybody knows it

But no one seems to care

As if there's something in the truth we fear

Aren't you hoping for more

I'm still hoping for sure

Isn't anybody dreamin'

Isn't anybody thinking

And all by myself

Isn't anybody lovin'

Isn't anybody huggin'

Am i all by myself, tell me, tell me

Am i all by myself

All by myself

Come on everybody teach it with me

Am i all by myself

Don't wanna be all by myself

Come on everybody preach it with me

Only you could ever know

How hard it was for me to let you go

Hard to face all those nights

And suffer thru all the fools advice

Seems tome it's not so bad

To try for the kind of love that we had

Oh i need that romance

One that grows strong

When it's got no chance

Now you're gone away

And i'm left to carry on

Ain't nobody else gonna bear up to comparison

And if i can't have the real thing

Then i've got to find someone

Just like you

What you got it's what you need

There's pain in that but it's plain enough to see

I know i was satisfied

But nobody else came out of my side

I hope someone will come today

Somebody like you

Someone to take me all the way

Somebody like you

Someone to take your place

Somebody like you

Someone to fill this empty space

I've been trying so hard to close my eyes

Dawn is rising under those cloudy skies

Days in darkness

Seemed like they'd never end

But now the rules are changing, girl

We can begin again

And we'll be right as rain

Who's been fooling you

They've been cruel to me

The kind of love we share

Is hard for those people to see

Stormy weather

Still the chill remains

What they thought was lost forever

Has been found again

And we'll be right as rain

All those violent people

Wind up tearing our peace apart

Do their best to destroy our future

Before it has a chance to start

Never had a chance to start

The kind of love we share

It's so hard for some to see

I know it was hard for me

It ain't lost forever

It's been found again

In the rain

And it feels so good to me

When we kiss that way

I search for words that

Might explain

How can a love go so deep

Girl, it's in my blood

It'll always be a part of me

If we stay together

Or if we go our separate ways

I know... love will last forever

The sun may someday lose its light

The moon may not shine one night

Your heart will always have a home

It is written in stone - written

In stone

Seasons go by and minds

Have changed

But i will never doubt why i

Feel this way

It goes on so strong

Like a solid rock

Even when the moment's gone

Nothing lasts forever

But one thing's sure to stay

The same

Our love... the love is getting better

The sun may someday lose its light

The moon may not shine one night

I know just how the story goes

It is written in stone - written

In stone

True love is timeless and

Unconditional

You don't need to read the writing

On the wall

I can see the future - happiness

Won't fade away

The sun is in the sky just like it

Was yesterday

Love will last forever

The sun may someday lose its light

The moon may not shine one night

Your heart will never be alone

It is written in stone - written

In stone

True love is timeless

It will grow through smiles

And sadness

Won't you walk with me

Our love, it will be forever

I know sometimes you might not

Believe it

But baby i'll do my best to show

You, let you see it

Time might not be so bad

I know we'll come out ahead

Love is timeless

Timeless and unconditional

You don't need to read the writing

On the wall

It's written in stone

Happiness won't fade away

Me and mrs. jones, we got a thing going on,

We both know that it's wrong

But it's much too strong to let it cool down now.

We meet ev'ry day at the same cafe,

Six-thirty i know she'll be there,

Holding hands, making all kinds of plans

While the jukebox plays our favorite song.

Me and mrs., mrs. jones, mrs. jones, mrs. jones,

Mrs. jones got a thing going on,

We both know that it's wrong,

But it's much too strong to let it cool down now.

We gotta be extra careful that we don't build our hopes too high

Cause she's got her own obligations and so do i,

Me, me and mrs., mrs. jones, mrs. jones, mrs. jones,

Mrs. jones got a thing going on,

We both know that it's wrong,

But it's much too strong to let it cool down now.

Well, it's time for us to be leaving,

Iit hurts so much, it hurts so much inside,

Now she'll go her way and i'll go mine,

But tomorrow we'll meet the same place, the same time.

Me and mrs. jones, mrs. jones, mrs. jones.

It was always you and me and him
A whiskey sour, beer and gin
We were having fun
When the night was over
You'd go off together leaving me alone,
All alone
I stayed up every night, i had to find a way
I had to get to you
So i told you he was stepping outside
I said when you broke down and cried
Why don't you come to me


* she said i love you like a brother
And that's how it's got to stay
Because i don't need no reminder
Of the love that went away
And the more i desire,
The less it does inspire
Because she says i remind her
Of the love she left behind


I found myself in the same old place
In the bar, another lonely night to spend
But the first thing i saw when i walked in
Was my almost lover, and my ex best friend
She was drinking all alone
And he was on the telephone
They wouldn't look at me
I went outside, i wanted to cry
It's a lonely life, ain't what it used to be


(* repeat 2 times and fade)

Just why do i want you baby

Anyone but a fool would let it be

Go on anywhere you take me

I don't want to know what's pulling me

If i fall so deep

With my eyes so wide

Then i hope that feeling isn't only mine

Fools rush in

Where the wise don't go

Fools rush in

And i'm a fool for love

Fools rush in

But the wise don't know

Fools rush in

Safe advice

I can't let it stop me

Love don't wanna know the reason why

If we fall so deep

With our eyes so wide

Then i know the feeling isn't

Only mine

Fools rush in

Where the wise don't go

Fools rush in

And i'm a fool for love

Fools rush in

But the wise don't know

Fools rush in

Ain't too proud to beg

I know ya wanna leave me, but i refuse to let you go

If i have to beg and plead for your sympathy,

I don't mind coz' you mean that much to me

Ain't too proud to beg, you know it (sweet darlin')

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Now i heard a cryin' man, is half a man

With no sense of pride

But if i have to cry to keep ya, i don't mind weepin'

If it'll keep you by my side

Ain't too proud to beg, you know it sweet darlin'

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

If i have to sleep on your doorstep all night and day just to keep you from walkin' away let your friends laugh, even this i can stand cause i want to keep you any way i can

Ain't too proud to beg, you know it sweet darlin'

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Now i've gotta love so deep in the pit of my heart

And each day it grows more and more i'm not ashamed to come and plead to you baby

If pleadin' keeps you from walkin' out that door

Ain't too proud to beg, you know it sweet darlin'

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby

Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Baby - baby - baby

I used to think love was a dying art

Compassion couldn't live within a crowded heart

I saw my freedom in a poor man's eyes

Hope like a light, will to survive

A sense of dignity to hold up high

These are the simple things

That keep us all alive

And though the rich buy power for a time

One thing that money can't buy



Chorus



Love and compassion

(only) love and compassion

Give it to you

Give it to me

Love and compassion

(only) love and compassion

That's what it takes

(give love...you're gonna feel love...

Ooo... feel love... you're gonna give love)



One night when i was feelin' all alone

I saw a shadow walking in the danger zone

I knew that i would have to make a choice

Hunger in my heart, hunger in my spirit

We won't be free until we equalize

The price of power to the price of every life

And though i know it's gonna take some time

Someday we're all gonna find



Love and compassion

(onlv) love and compassion

Give it to you

Give it to me

Love and compassion

(only) love and compassion

That's what it takes to relate



Love and compassion

(only) love and compassion

Give it to you

Give it to me

(oniy) love und compassion

That's what it takes

(give love... ooo feel love... you're gonna

Feel love... if you give love)



Love und compassion

Love und compassion

Love und compassion

Love und compassion

Love und compassion

(only) love und compassion

Give it to you

Give it to me

Love and compassion

Someday we're gonna find it



Oh when i was alone

And i reached out for more

I just opened my eyes

Love und compassion

I know it will take some time

But you know we're gonna make it come true

Love and compassion

All my love and compassion

Love und compassion

Love und compassion



All my love, all my love und compassion

Someday, someday we're gonna find it, realize it

Take some time to give

Love und compassion

Hope iike a light, and a will to survive...

Just look at you and me

Yea we've had some fun,

Don't you agree?

Now that we have come this far

Time to stop the game and

Make a start

I want you to take this seriously

But all you do is show inhumanity

You hurt me oh, but i can't

Hurt you back

Baby don't you know i've got more

Heart than that

I can't hide the way i feel

Help me please, baby please help me

We've reached the borderline

Nowhere to go but down

If we can't turn our world around

We've reached the borderline

Maybe it's not too late

Only we can choose our fate

I tried but i can't loose the crazy pain

I wish that it would go so i can live again

You may or may not know that i'm

Beside myself

Oh you know there's only you and

No one else

I can't hide, it's sad you see

Something that could feel so good

May never be

We've reached the borderline

Nowhere to go but down

If we can't turn our world around

We've reached the borderline

Got everything to gain

If only we can stop the pain

The sky is falling

Falling again

Keep on reaching

Keep believing

I wanna know what you dream, oh baby

Am i one with your fantasy

I wanna show you my deepest feelings

Ain't that how love's supposed to be



Give me love hold on to me

Give me love hold on to me

Give me dreams hold on

...oh baby, give it up

Give me heart hold on to me

Give me soul hold on to me

Give me your smile hold on

...oh baby, give it all



I had enough of bad luck, oh baby,

All those nights that i can't replace

But none of the love in my past can claim me

Others go but you don't fade away



Give me love hold on to me

Give me love hold on to me

Give me dreams hold on

...oh baby, give it up

Give me heart hold on to me

Give me soul hold on to me

Give me your life hold on

...oh baby, give it all



I know in my heart it's real

Know this is love i feel

If something ain't right just say so baby

Don't let go...don't stay away...stay with me



Give me love hold on to me

Give me hope hold on to me

Give me dreams hold on

...oh baby, give it up

Give me heart hold on to me

Give me soul hold on to me

Give me your smile hold on

...oh baby, give it all
