"Some Broken Hearts Never Mend"

"Some Broken Hearts Never Mend"



Coffee black, cigarettes,
start this day, like all the rest,
First thing every morning that I do,
Is start missing you

Some broken hearts never mend,
Some memories never end,
Some tears will never dry,
My love for you will never die

Rendezvous in the night,
A willing woman to hold me tight,
But in the middle of love's embrace,
I see your face

Some broken hearts never mend,
Some memories never end,
Some tears will never dry,
My love for you will never die

"Someone Like You"

"Someone Like You"



Others have touched me soft in the night
And others have kissed me and held me tight
Good times and lovers, I've had a few
But I was just waiting for someone like you.

Others have loved me before your time
Some who were gentle, some who were kind
Don't it seem funny I never knew
I was just waiting for someone like you.

No, I never wasted a minute of my time
'Cause every road I ever took led me to your side
I've been lonely and I have been loved
I got used to losin' what I'm fondest of.

But it's all so clear now my whole life through
I was just waiting for someone like you...

"Something 'Bout You"

"Something 'Bout You"


I don't want nobody
I'm better off alone
I'm sworn to independence
My heart is made of stone
But you're breakin' on through
Oh, there's somethin' 'bout you.

I've been tapping my toes
To the way you talk
And I've been singin' along
To the way you walk
I've got to do
Somethin' 'bout you.

[Chorus]
Well, I've got this place of mine
It's nice and quiet and I like it fine
I work real hard got no time for you
But I've whiskied up my coffee cup
Sittin' here tryin' not to call you up
It's gettin' to where I don't know what to do
Oh. there's somethin' 'bout you.

[Instrumental]

Somethin' about you like distant thunder
And I can't say I ain't been warned
But there's no shelter to crawl under
Ever gonna save me from this storm.

Oh, there's somethin' 'bout you
That I can't shake
There's somethin' 'bout you
That's been keeping me awake
The whole night through
Oh, there's somethin' 'bout you.

[Chorus]
Well, I've got this place of mine
It's nice and quiet and I like it fine
I work real hard got no time for you
But I've whiskied up my coffee cup
Sittin' here tryin' not to call you up
It's gettin' to where I don't know what to do
Oh. there's somethin' 'bout you, babe, somethin' 'bout you...

"Standin' In A Sea Of Teardrops"

"Standin' In A Sea Of Teardrops"



Standing in a sea of teardrops
It's getting deeper all the time
Standing in a sea of teardrops
And everyday I feel it rise.

For every bit of pain you've caused me
Another little tear falls down
Baby, if you hurt me one more time
Oh, I think I'm gonna drown.

Right from the start, I saw you
I couldn't resist you
I guess my heart somehow knew
The first time I kissed you.

But it wasn't long till you did me wrong
And I felt the first tears begin
Oh, but that seems so long ago
I've cried an ocean since then.

Now, I'm standing in a sea of teardrops
It's getting deeper all the time
Standing in a sea of teardrops
And everyday I feel it rise

For every bit of pain you've caused me
Another little tear falls down
Baby, if you hurt me one more time
Oh, I think I'm gonna drown.

So many times, oh, you know
I've tried to leave you
You say you've changed, foolish me
I always believed you.

Baby but then you hurt me again
And there's not a thing I can do
I'm sinking I know but I need you so
I guess I'll go down loving you.

'Cause I'm standing in a sea of teardrops
It's getting deeper all the time
Standing in a sea of teardrops
And everyday I feel it rise.

For every bit of pain you've caused me
Another little tear falls down
Baby, if you hurt me one more time
Oh, I think I'm gonna drown.

Baby, if you hurt me one more time
Oh, I think I'm gonna drown...

"Standing Knee Deep In A River (Dying Of Thirst)"

"Standing Knee Deep In A River (Dying Of Thirst)"



Friends I could count on
I could count on one hand
With a left over finger or two.
I took them for granted,
Let them all slip away,
Now where they are I wish I knew.

They roll by just like water
And I guess we never learn,
Go through life parched and empty
Standing knee deep in a river,
And dying of thirst.

Sometimes I remember
The good people I've known,
Some I've forgotten I suppose.
One or two still linger,
Oh, I wonder now
Why I ever let them go.

They roll by just like water
And I guess we never learn,
Go through life parched and empty
Standing knee deep in a river,
And dying of thirst.

So the side walk is crowded
The city goes by,
I just rushed through another day
And a world full of strangers
Turn their eyes to me,
But I just look the other way.

They roll by just like water
And I guess we never learn,
Go through life parched and empty
Standing knee deep in a river,
And dying of thirst.

Go through life parched and empty,
Standing knee deep in a river
Dying of thirst...

"Stay Young"

"Stay Young"


Oh, don't you lose that light in your eyes
You're never too old to love, never too late to try
When somebody needs you
Give 'em all you can give
When you're livin' to love and a lovin' to live.

[Chorus:]
Stay young keep your wheels in motion
You've got everything that you need
Stay young with your rock n' rollin'
All the best things in life for free.

[Instrumental]

Oh, don't you feel like playin' the fool
Just step out a line and break all the rules
Don't you let them tell you, It's not for you
Don't go growin' old, before you're due.

[Chorus:]
Stay young keep your wheels in motion
You've got everything that you need
Stay young with your rock n' rollin'
All the best things in life for free.

[Instrumental]

[Chorus:]
Stay young keep your wheels in motion
You've got everything that you need
Stay young with your rock n' rollin'
All the best things in life for free...

"Steal My Heart Away"

"Steal My Heart Away"


Oh, take a little bit of my love tonight
And it will be alright.
Steal my heart away
It'll be okay.
Won't be hard for you to do,
'Cause I want you to,
Steal my heart away.

We're almost strangers,
We don't know each other well.
I got a feeling
Before the break of dawn we will.
You're slipping up on my heart,
Can't you see I'm glad you are.

Oh, take a little bit of my love tonight
And it will be alright.
Steal my heart away
It'll be okay
Won't be hard for you to do,
'Cause I want you to,
Steal my heart away.

[Instrumental]

Something tells me
That when this night is through.
You're gonna have me
Right where I want you to.
You're gonna sneak off with my heart.
So what are you waiting for.

Oh, take a little bit of my love tonight
And it will be alright.
Steal my heart away
It'll be okay.
Won't be hard for you to do,
'Cause I want you to,
Steal my heart away.

Oh, take a little bit of my love tonight
It will be alright.
Steal my heart away
It'll be okay
Won't be hard for you to do,
'Cause I want you to,
Steal my heart away...

"Stronger Back"

"Stronger Back"



I had everything, lost it all.
I built towers of gold, watched em fall.
I tried my best
But I guess my best just wasn't good enough.

I made promises. Broke em.
I've laid loved ones lives wide open.
And I've got a broken heart but I've come this far
And I ain't givin up.

I pray for a stronger back.
I pray for a bigger heart.
I pray for the will to keep on walkin when the way is dark.
I follow that windin road just tryin to stay on track.
I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back.

I've seen losers get a second chance
I've seen miracles from happenstance.
I've seen long shots come from way behind
To win the race.

And I've dreams blow up in a cloud of smoke.
It's a world of pain, it's a world of hope.
And it's dark right now but I know somehow
Some day the sun will find some way to shine down on my face.

I pray for a stronger back.
I pray for a bigger heart.
I pray for the will to keep on walkin when the way is dark.
I follow that windin road just tryin to stay on track.
I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back.

I follow that windin road just tryin to stay on track.
I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back.

"Such A Lovely Lady"

"Such A Lovely Lady"


Last night I came home and found you there
You with your pretty eyes and shinin' hair
Look at you, you're the kind of woman men stop and stare
Such a lovely lady to be mine.

Such a lovely lady should be somewhere else
It seems to me, the likes of me, isn't hard to find.

Sometimes going home, though it's not fair
I stop and have a drink or two, to see who's there
But when I do you're the kind of woman
I just leave them there
You're such a lovely lady to be mine.

[Instrumental]

Such a lovely lady should be somewhere else
It seems to me, the likes of me, isn't hard to find.

Last night I came home and found you there
You with your pretty eyes and shinin' hair
Look at you, you're the kind of woman men stop and stare
You're such a lovely lady to be mine.

Such a lovely lady to be mine...

"Sweet Fever"

"Sweet Fever"


I've been feelin' funny
Shakin' like a leaf
I don't know what's wrong
But something's strong
Sure got a hold on me.

Sun lights up my morning
Moon lights up my night
And I light up when
Your name comes up
I feel all funny inside.

I got a sweet fever
Comin' all over me
I got a sweet fever
I wonder what can it be?

I don't know what happens
But you come walking by
I can't speak
My knees get weak
I feel half paralysed.

My temperature keeps rising
My head is feeling light
I sing love songs
All day long
I toss and turn all night.

I got a sweet fever
Comin' all over me
I got a sweet fever
I wonder what can it be?

[Instrumental]

I got a sweet fever
Comin' all over me
I got a sweet fever
I wonder what can it be?

I got a sweet fever
Comin' all over me
I got a sweet fever
I wonder what can it be?..
