"Love Or Something Like It"

"Love Or Something Like It"



Show me a bar with a good looking woman
Then just get out of my way
Turn on the jukebox, I'll show you a song you should play
Sooner or later a few shots of Bourbon
And I'll think of somethin' to say
Whoa, I can take her or leave her
I'd like to take her away

Liquor and music, a good combination
If you've got love on the brain
I never knew two women who acted the same
Some want a drink first, and some want to just sit and talk
Whoa, oh, it's two in the mornin'
I'm running' and she wants to walk

Something's got a hold on me
It's cheap but it ain't free
Love or somethin' like it's got a hold on me

That's when I asked her, my place or your place
I hope I'm not out of line
I asked the wrong thing, but just the right woman this time
She knew a hotel, she even had a name we could sign
Whoa, oh, the cheaper the grapes are, the sweeter the taste of the wine

Something's got a hold on me
It's cheap but it ain't free
Love or somethin' like it's got a hold on me

Something's got a hold on me
It's cheap but it ain't free
Love or somethin' like it's got a hold on me
Love or somethin' damn near like it's got a hold on me

"Love The Way You Do"

"Love The Way You Do"



I've loved you all my life in all my dreams
So why am I surprised here with me
That's how it should be
But you look in my eyes, turn away
You can see inside, I'm afraid
Afraid of feeling.

I don't know what to say
I don't understand
It's not the way I planned.

I can't stay, I can't leave
I'm torn between two people I need
One of them is you, the other is me
We come from different world, different stars
But when you're lying here in my arms
All I wanna do is love the way you do
All I wanna do is love the way you do.

How can I go on but nothing's changed
You and I both know the choice was made
When I first touched you
Now if I stay or leave it's all the same
Awake or in my dreams I see your face
I will love you

I'm always in control now here I stand
A heart is in my hand

I can't stay, I can't leave
I'm torn between two people I need
One of them is you, the other is me
We come from different world, different stars
But when you're lying here in my arms
All I wanna do is love the way you do
All I wanna do is love the way you do.

"Love The World Away"

"Love The World Away"



Every now and then
When the world steps in
Stealing all our time away
It soon takes so much
We forget to touch
That's when I know
It's time for me to say
Take my hand
Let's walk through love's door
And be free from the world once more
Care's my heart
We can hide today
And love the world away

Once again we'll be
Where our hearts are free
And the time is ours to share
Love will always stay
Just a touch away
Come with me
All the magic's waiting there
Take my hand
Let's walk through love's door
And be free from the world once more
Care's my heart
We can hide today
And love the world away
We can love the world away

"Love Will Turn You Around"

"Love Will Turn You Around"



You can run
You can hide
Never let it inside
Keep livin' your life in the dark
But sooner or later that gentle persuader
Is gonna catch up with your heart
Make you a dreamer, believer
Believin' in love

Right when a man's doin' all that he planned
And he thinks he's got just what he needs
Life will deliver a shock that will shiver
And drive him down to his knees
Make him start givin', livin'
Livin' again

Well it's your mind
That tricks you in believin' every time
Love will turn you around
Turn you around
Well, its your heart
That talks you into to stayin'
Where you are
Love will turn you around
Turn you around

Out of the blue she reaches for you
And you tell her you don't have the time
So you move away fast
But you know it won't last
'Cause you can't get her off of your mind
Thoughts are burnin', turnin'
They're turnin' around

How do you know when to stay or to go
And how do you know when it's real
You don't need a sign to make up your mind
You got your heart at the wheel
You wanna start sharin', carin'
Carin' again

Well it's your mind
That tricks you in believin' every time
Love will turn you around
Turn you around
Well, its your heart
That talks you into to stayin'
Where you are
Love will turn you around
Turn you around

Love will turn you around
Turn you around
Love will turn you around
Turn you around
Turn you around

"Loving Arms"

"Loving Arms"



If you could see me now
The one who said
That he'd rather roam
The one who said
He'd rather be alone
If you could only see me now.

If I could hold you now
Just for a moment
If I could really make you mine
Just for awhile
Turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now.

I been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Takin' any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for
The freedom of my chains
And lying in you loving arms again.

If you could hear me now
Singing somewhere in the lonely night
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight
If I could only hold you now.

Ooh I been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Takin' any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for
The freedom of my chains
And lying in your loving arms again
I can almost feel your loving arms again...

"Lucille"

"Lucille"



In a bar in Toledo
Across from the depot
On a bar stool she took off her ring
I thought I'd get closer
So I walked on over
I sat down and asked her name
When the drinks finally hit her
She said I'm no quitter
But I finally quit livin' on dreams
I'm hungry for laughter
And here ever after
I'm after whatever the other life brings

In the mirror I saw him
And I closely watched him
I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman
Who sat there beside me
He had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused
He looked like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was dead
But he started shakin'
His big heart was breakin'
He turned to the woman and said

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children
And a crop in the field
I've had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
But this time your hurtin' won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

After he left us
I ordered more whisky
I thought how she'd made him look small
From the lights of the bar room
To a rented hotel room
We walked without talkin' at all
She was a beauty
But when she came to me
She must have thought I'd lost my mind
I could'nt hold her
'Cos the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children
And a crop in the field
I've had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
But this time your hurtin' won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

"Lying Again"

"Lying Again"



The morning sun woke me
I felt the warm soft skin beneath my hands
The last night the devil got to me
In the day I'm just a common man.

So I'll get up and say goodbye
And on the way home I'll make up my life
That holds our lives together
One more time.

I'll be lying again, I'll be trying again
Hoping I don't hurt you like the last time
But you'll be crying again
You know I'm lying again
Telling you this is the last time.

Don't call her up, anymore
'Cause I don't wanna hear-ear your voi-oice
I don't wanna see your fa-a-ace
Answer her door-oor-oor
Make no mista-ake, she's mine
She-ee-ee's mi-ine

She only knows how I feel
I only know what she's li-ike
When she nee-eeds me-ee
Oh how she needs me
Deep in the ni-ight
Make no mista-a-ake, she's mi-ine
She-ee's mi-ine, no, she's mi-ine

Don't get too close when you da-ance
'Cause I don't wanna hear from my frie-iends
You were out on the tow-own
With her in your arms
(Her in your ar-arms)
With her in your arms
(Her in your ar-ar-arms)

Don't include her in your dreams
'Cause I don't wanna clo-ose my eye-eye-eyes
No-o, I don't wanna know where she go-o-o-o-oes
Each night when she lea-ea-eaves
Make no mista-a-ake, make no mista-a-a-a-ake
She-ee-ee's mi-ine, no she's mine, she-ee's mi-ine

Don't call her up, anymore
Don't call her up
(Don't call her up) anymore

"Make No Mistakes She's Mine"

"Make No Mistakes She's Mine"



Don't call her up, anymore
'Cause I don't wanna hear your voice
I don't wanna see your face answer her door.
Make no mistake, she's mine, she's mine.

She only knows how I feel
I only know what she's like when she needs me
Oh, how she needs me deep in the night
Make no mistake, she's mine, no, she's mine.

Don't get too close when you dance
'Cause I don't wanna hear from my friends
You were out on the town
With her in your arms.

Don't include her in your dreams
'Cause I don't wanna close my eyes
No, I don't wanna know where she goes
Each night when she leaves
Make no mistake, she's mine, no, she's mine.

Don't call her up, anymore...
