"Don't Hold Back Your Love"

"Don't Hold Back Your Love"


I know what it's like to be forgotten
Left alone with your simple dreams
But even dreams are fading fast
No one to turn to when you can't sleep at night
Waking up to another day that will soon be over
And if you think that time has forgotten you
Well just look into my eyes
And know the times we'll change

[Chorus:]
Don't hold back your love
I know it's here
I wanna see it come to life before my eyes
Don't hold back your love
Show me your heart
Cause I will always be here by your side

Don't be mistaken there's still some work to do
Gotta get up every single day
Face the judge and jury
No one will notice they've got their own lives
We've got something they all want
It'll be their surprise
And if you think there is no place to run
Just hold onto my hand
And face whatever comes

[Chorus]

One more chance to find the higher ground
One more chance before the curtain's down
One more night to turn your life around again

[Chorus]

"Don't Turn Your Back On Me"

"Don't Turn Your Back On Me"



Oh baby, you're beautiful
Oh baby, you move so nasty
And it's the madness and all the sadness
That makes it more beautiful

Oh darling, you're everything
I ever wanted in any lover
I know your questions don't have the answers
Now I'm afraid that it is really over

Don't give up on us darling
Don't Turn Your Back On Me
I won't give up on you baby
So Don't Turn Your Back On Me

I know it's true I'll never find
Someone that fits me like we fit together
There's just no way my heart will play
'Cause I don't want to be with any other

Oh babe, you're beautiful
Feels so good to have you near me
You've got my heart, if you take it all away
That's the only thing I really fear

Don't give up on us darling
Don't Turn Your Back On Me
Don't turn off on me
Don't Turn Your Back On Me
I won't give up on you baby
So Don't Turn Your Back On Me

Don' walk away from me baby
Don't turn your back on me

Am I running through your head?
Remembering what I said
Lay awake in your dreamless bed
While my music goes around and around

"Downtown Life"

"Downtown Life"



Do it downtown in from the outside
Yeah, find the scene & work it brother
Moving thru sound
City's like wild life
Overgrown & living undercover
Wound up so tight

We love the Downtown Life
Driftin' thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown Life. it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on

Velvet Lou was a neighbor of mine
Now he walks the dog in Jersey, Brother
Yuppies in black doin' white collar crime
Scared away the. local color
But they can't steal the nite

We love the Downtown Life
Driftin' thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown Life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on

Downtown Life
Drifting thru the nite
Waiting for the lite to come
Downtown Life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on

My baby knows she's got to go for this kind of life
`Cause city love can't stand. to see the sunlite
Dawn patrol better leave me alone
`Cause I can only take it for so long
Going down isn't hard to do
The King of Clubs and.Queen of Hearts fall too
She says, "If you believe this is only a lonely time,
Stay at home boys the blues are lost on you"
Ain't it true

We love the Downtown Life
Drifting thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown Life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on

Downtown Life
Drifting thru the nite
Waiting for the night to come
Downtown Life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin' on

"Ennui On The Mountain"

"Ennui On The Mountain"



We don't need a whole lot of money
We don't need a Cadillac car
What we need is a mountain in Montana
A thousand acre world for the roadies and the girls
But you need a whole lot of money
Lots of loot, to tell you the troot'
Oh, we know what's good but we love what's bad
And it'd be ennui on the mountain anyway
Oh I don't know if it's high or low
But it's round and round and round and round we go
I don't know what I need

Everyday we try to get higher
Any way to the dream at the end
AM airplay and a golden concept album
So they pay for what you say
And they hang on every word
You and me are just Ponce de Leon-y
Looking for something we ain't never gonna find
Oh, we know what's good but we love what's bad
And it'd be ennui on the mountain anyway
Oh I don't know if it's high or low
But it's round and round and round and round we go

"Everyday Will Be Like A Holiday"

"Everyday Will Be Like A Holiday"


[Chorus]
Every day will be like a holiday
With my baby
When my baby comes home

She's been alone such a long time
Christmas is coming
I've got her on my mind
I bought a present today
Some sweet perfume
I'll wait for my baby
You know she'll be home soon

[Repeat Chorus]

I'm never worried
I never sit by the phone
Cause come Christmas time
I'll never be alone
See everybody
On this holiday
I know this feeling somewhere
Never gonna go away

[Repeat Chorus]

"Everything Your Heart Desires"

"Everything Your Heart Desires"



You say you can't stand to be
Tied so close to a lover
Ooh you feel like a prisoner
And you wanna find someone who will let you out
Can't you see the heartbeat that you know so well
Is better than some strange one you're looking for
Say you never know that strange one just might be me

Can't you see -
You Have Everything Your Heart Desires
So why d'you want more
If you had everything your heart desired
Would you still want more
You Have Everything Your Heart Desires
Why d'you wont more
If you Have Everything Your Heart Desires
Oh baby will you still want more

You tell me your best friend's world seems beautiful
but don't be fooled
It's nice work if you can get it
What goes on behind closed doors you don't know
Maybe she cries herself to sleep every nite
Sorry that the heartbeat that she knows so well
Ain't what she's looking for
Say you never know that strange heart just might be me

Can't you see -
You Have Everything Your Heart Desires
So why d'you want more
If you had everything your heart desired
Would you still wand more
You Have Everything Your Heart Desires
Why d'you want more
If you have Everything Your Heart Desires
Will you still want more

Maybe you'll confess
Girl you'll see
If you want.the world
Think of me
No words can help
Don't be sad
'Cause baby what you want is what you have

"Everytime I Look At You"

"Everytime I Look At You"



Everytime I look at you, I can't believe what you did to me
You had me thinkin' we was all right, then you pulled your trick
And walked right out on me
You had me thinkin' we were in the sky
Today I'd like to lay down and die

If you've gotta be leavin', well that's swell
I think it's fine girl, you found what you want
So it's goodbye girl, yes, no?

Everytime I see your face, I can't believe how you lied to me
So get your laundry out of my place
Go and live with someone else for free
You had me thinkin' we was in the sky
Today I'd like to lay down and die

Baby it's goodbye
It's goodbye

 

[fox69]

"Everytime You Go Away"

"Everytime You Go Away"



Baby, if we can't solve any problems
Why do we lose so many tears?
Oh, so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same theme
But can't you see we've got everything going on and

Everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you

Go on and go free
Maybe you're too close to me
I can feel your body move
But does it mean that much to me
I can't go on singing the same theme
"Cause you can't see we've got everything
Baby, even though you know that

Everytime you go away
You take a piece of me with you
You just don't care

 

[fox69]

"Everywhere I Look"

"Everywhere I Look"



We always try to be so honest but we're so serious
We have an understanding but that can't carry soul far enough
Green flag is rising and baby green means go
New world on the horizon
And who deserves the love more than you
More than me
Both of us
Can't you see

Everywhere I look I see people waking up
So why are we still sleeping
Everywhere I look I see people shaking off all the old ways
So why can't we follow through

What we believe has got to be more than the words of our friends
Honey I love the life but I'd fight for our world not to end
Green flag is rising and baby green means go
There's something on the horizon
And who deserves to know more than you
More than me
All of us
Can't you see

Everywhere I look I see people waking up
So why are we still sleeping
Everywhere I look I see people shaking off all the old ways
So why can't we follow through

"Fading Away"
(originally by The Temptations)

"Fading Away"
(originally by The Temptations)



The feeling we used to get
Whenever our lives met
Like smoke from a cigarette
It's fading away (Fading away)
Fading away

It hurts me to think about
Those times when there was no doubt
Like a cloud when the sun comes out
It's fading away
(Fading away)
It's fading away

You've changed and it's showing, Baby
(You're changing in your heart)
You've changed and it's showing
I wanna know
(It's changing in my soul)
Where did our love go

If I could have just one wish
If things hadn't come to this
Like the memory of our first kiss
It's fading away, mm
(Fading away)
Oh, fading away

Like the smoke from your cigarette
A dream that you soon forget
It's not like the day we met
It's fading away, Ooh, it's (Fading away)
Oh, it's fading away
And -

I wanna know if you're all right
I just want you to be all right
All right

'Cause it's fading away forever
(You're changing in your heart)
It's fading away, yeah
(It's changing in my soul)
Ooh, it's fading away
(Where did our love go)

Ooh, it's fading away
(You're changing in your heart)
You've changed, all right. Baby, oh

(It's changing in my soul)
I understand
(Where did our love go)
Everybody changes
Mm, but it's fading
Gotta understand that it's fading away
Are you all right
Fading away......
