"(Goin') Wild For You Baby"

"(Goin') Wild For You Baby"


Struck by the moon, rising too soon
I feel a pain deep inside me
Cold nothern wind, a fist in my chin
Makin' me wild for you baby

What can I do to get back to you
I'm feelin' desperate and lonely
The city's a river of cold misery
Makin' me wild for you baby

I'm down on my knees
Hear me cry for you baby
Cold misery
I would die for you baby
I pray you will see
These tears I cry

Struck by the moon, rising too soon
I feel a pain deep inside me
Cold nothern wind, a fist in my chin
Makin' me wild for you baby

What can I do to get back to you
I'm feelin' desperate and lonely
The city's a river of cold misery
Makin' me wild for you baby

I'm down on my knees
Hear me cry for you baby
Cold misery
I would die for you baby
I pray you will see
These tears I cry

"(I Could Have Been Your) Best Old Friend"

"(I Could Have Been Your) Best Old Friend"


Fate is mighty cruel
Where true love is concerned
It seems you give out more
Than you ever have returned
Lately I have tried
To make it on my own
Another nite has passed
Looks like I'm bound to be alone
Bound to be alone

Now solitude is fine
When you really need it
When your soul is dry
Sometimes loneliness can feed it
When you need a lover
You know there's nothin' else will do
When you need love most
You know it turns it's back on you

Oh, I can make it thru without your company
I only wish I knew why you won't comfort me
I thot that I could count on you
To hear me cryin' out
I guess that's one comfort
I will learn to do without

Fallin love too easily
But never quite so fast
So you are not the first and, lord
You sure won't be the last
The thing about the situation
That makes me feel so sad
I could've been the best old friend
That you have ever had
I could've been the best old friend
That you have ever had

"About To Make Me Leave Home"

"About To Make Me Leave Home"


Never thought that a love could be so strong
It could ever make me, think about leaving home
I can't help myself your lovin bout to drive me mad
One more night like last night, I might have to pack my bags
Bout to make me leave home boy

Got my mind so
Gettin together with this love, boy it just ain't right
I ain't got the strength to turn a good lovin loose
But I never met a man in my life who could whoop it to me like you do

Bout to make me leave home boy

Got a taste of forbidden fruit
And I can't turn it loose
What is this good thing you carry around with you
That makes a girl want to act a fool

Got that love technique that really really cracks me up
Seeing you once or twice a week, boy it just ain't enough.

"Ain't Gonna Let You Go"

"Ain't Gonna Let You Go"


Love came and hit me
Straight on the lips
Nobody kisses
The better it gets, and baby that's all right
You got me standing beside myself
You know it ain't like me
It's like I'm somebody else
But baby that's all right

You're not the man I was lookin' for
You're every bit of him plus a whole lot more
Now that I got you, it feels so good
I don't wanna let you go

I pled guilty, baby, of this terrible crime
You been lovin' me all of this time
And I must have been blind
What's gonna happen?
What'll I do?
Whatever it is, I wanna do it with you
I feel just fine

You're not the man I was lookin' for
You're every bit of him plus a whole lot more
Now that I got you baby, it feels so good
I don't wanna let you go

Ain't it peculiar how loves comes about?
When you're not lookin', you'd better look out!

You're not the man I was lookin' for
You're every bit of him plus a whole lot more
Feels so good
Now that I got you to myself
I'm gonna keep you for myself
Now that I got you
I don't wanna let you go

You're not the man I was looking for
You're every bit of him plus a whole lot more
Now that I got you baby, it feels so good
I don't wanna let you go
Now that I got you baby, I don't wanna let you go

"Ain't Nobody Home"

"Ain't Nobody Home"


Once upon a time, a long long time ago,
wherever you would lead me, I would surely follow
Boy, you put me through some pain and misery
And now you are standing at my doorstep,
Telling me how much you need me

Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home

How many times I begged for you to come home,
But you laughed at me and said to let you alone
Through my falling tears I saw you walk away
And now you're beggin' me to forgive you,
But this time, baby, it's your turn to pay

Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home

Boy, I used to love you,
I placed no one else above you
Gave you everything that I owned
But baby you can't come back here
'cause there ain't nobody home

Ain't nobody home

Once upon a time, when you went on your way
How I hoped and prayed, that you'd come back some day
But time has made some changes, and turned me upside down
And now you're beggin' me to forgive you,
But this time, baby, you can turn right around

'Cause there ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home

"All Alone With Something To Say"

"All Alone With Something To Say"


Like a heartbeat, timing is everything
I took a look at love when love looked away
How cruel is it that fate has to find me
All alone with something to say

I've been thinking, tweaking, and rethinking
All the things that I would tell you someday
I can hear it while I'm sitting here
All alone with something to say

I wanna tell you I love you
I wanna tell you I'm sorry
I'm sorry

I should be writing a column to the people
On how not to let your love life slip away
It would be clever, witty, and titled
All alone with something to say

I wanna tell you I love you
I wanna tell you I'm sorry
I'm sorry

All the nuggets of gold on my tongue
Pearls of wisdom coming in waves
How cruel is it that fate has to find me
All alone with something to say
All alone with something to say

"All At Once"

"All At Once"


Had a fight with my daughter,
She flew off in rage.
Third time this week,
Don't tell me it's the age.
Don't know how I've lost her,
Only know that it's a shame.
Ever since her daddy left,
The girl ain't been the same.

[Chorus:]
All at once I hear your voice,
And time just slips away.
Nothing they can say can hold me here.
Take me where I only feel,
The wind across my face.
Let me know there's some place left for me.
Waiting there for me...

Aww, who'm I kidding?
I should've known he'd never leave.
The time we spend together,
Is harder than the time between.
You wouldn't think it could hurt so,
To see them out the other day.
If that's what he calls leaving...
I guess I threw it all away.

[Chorus]

They say women, we're the stronger.
Somehow we always make it through.
Well, that ain't what I feel right now.
I don't even think it's true.
To me there's lots more broken,
Than anyone can really see.
Why the angels turn their backs on some;
It's a mystery to me.

[Chorus]

"All Day, All Night"

"All Day, All Night"


A little rich girl I knew was fallin' apart
(She had it all)
Lost her dreams to find a piece of his heart
(He let her fall)
Now you're on your own and it's not the same
(Oh, things do change)
There is no one there who will take the blame
You just need some time to figure it out

All day, all night
Your way, this is your life
All day, all night
Your way

Take a look inside yourself and you'll find
(You still can win)
'Cause only you little girl can make up your mind
(You're your best friend)
Don't you worry 'bout that thing that you had
(You've got a chance)
You're lookin' good little girl so don't feel so bad
Spend a little time so you can figure it out

All day, all night
Your way, this is your life
All day, all night
Your way, oooooh

(Take a little time, figure it out
Take a little time, figure it out)

A little rich girl I knew was comin' around
(She's got it all)
Keep lookin' up little girl and don't you look down
Spend a little time so you can figure it out

[Repeat 2x:]
All day, all night
Your way, this is your life
All day, all night
Your way

"Angel"

"Angel"


I've had my dreams
And they're all about you
What will I do with my dreaming?
And I've had my schemes
And it seems that they'll get me through
But will I do without you?

Angel, tell me what will I do
Sailing alone without you?
I know you have made your plans
Angel, now what will you see
Sailing alone without me?
Angel, tell me what will you see
Sailing alone without me?

[Guitar break]

Sailing alone without me
Angel, tell what will you see
Sailing alone without me?

[Guitar for the rest of song]
