"Heartbreak Time"

"Heartbreak Time"


The only consolation
In this situation
Is I know you're missing me
The way I'm missing you

I guess that you ain't sleeping
And the company you're keeping
They're all gonna offer you
Words of comfort too

Time will heal it
That's what they say
But I can't help but wish
Tomorrow was today

[Chorus:]
I've been doin' Heartbreak Time
And there's no two ways about it
When you're in, ya just can't doubt it
Doing heartbreak time
I've been doing Heartbreak Time
And though I keep believin'
It's my heart that I'm deceiving
Doin' Heartbreak Time

Maybe I'm just pretending
But I see a happy ending
Well I guess that's just like me
A fool in love you see
I can still recall the day
You said that you'd be mine to stay
The words that meant so much
Ooh, I miss your touch

And when you call me
I know what I wanna say
I can't help it
I wish it was yesterday

[Chorus]

Though we may be parted
You still hold the key to my heart
And I'm locked away

I'm in my own world
Walking around and pretending you're still here
There's no two ways about it
I'm doing Heartbreak Time
My love was real
And now I feel like a man so blind
Yeah, I'm doin' time
Heartbreak Time

"Heavy Rain"

"Heavy Rain"


[Chorus:]
Heavy rain, lightning too
Heavy rain, when I'm with you
Seems like a thousand years
Since we both felt free
We've seen a million faces
All staring at you and me
But just like Humphrey Bogart said
Before he passed out on his bed
Here's looking at you kid
And the rocky road ahead

Heavy rain, lightning too
Heavy rain when I'm with you
You know the thunder comes like a lion's roar
But it leaves me now
When you walk out the door
Listen to that northern wind
It's singing a sad old song
A melody so sick and tired
Been blowing much too long
Ain't it time to feel the weather change
You know it's overdue
Love is gone, we can't go on
Pretending old is new

[Chorus]

Rain down

[Chorus]

And the daylight comes
As a sweet surprise
Heavy rain
Filling up my eyes
Heavy rain

"Hold On To Yourself"

"Hold On To Yourself"



You know you've got to throw your body around
You say there ain't no way to scare you
Knock you down
Highwire routine is working for you
Ain't nothing there for you to hold on to
Highwire, so far to the end
So many chances to miss your step
If you stand up (all on your own)
If you fall down (always alone)
Hold onto yourself baby
Cause no one else will
People gonna watch your every move
You know there's always something there for you to prove
Highwire so far to look down
No one to catch you when you hit the ground
If you stand up (all on your own)
If you fall down (always alone)
Hold onto yourself baby
Cause no one else will
If you stand up (all on your own)
If you fall down (always alone)
If you need help (nobody else)
Gotta hold on (all by yourself)
Watch your body, take 'a hold of yourself
You've gotta make it, 'cause there's no one else
Keep your balance 'til the end of the line
Gotta find a way to get it right
Hold onto yourself baby
Cause so one else will
(all on your own)

"Home For Christmas"

"Home For Christmas"


Leaves are fallin'
December is callin'
Feels like that time of the year
Ooh and a chill in my bones
Got me thinking of home
And everyone I hold dear
If ever I miss my connection
Stranded and feeling alone
But no matter how mean
This hard road treated me
I always could find my way home
Don't you know

[Chorus]
That you are in my heart
And I always come home for Christmas
We're living apart
We're so close
We're so far
I'll still come home for Christmas
It might be just for a day
But I'll still come home for Christmas
Oh how I wish I could stay
But the years slip away
I come home for Christmas
And I'll always come home

I see all the lights
Someone told me tonight
Putting the star on the tree
It's a feeling I know
I'll never let go
Like my first holiday memory
Sometimes we all miss our connections
We're stranded and feeling alone
But no matter how mean
This hard road seems to be
We always could find our way home
Cause you know

[Repeat Chorus]

But no matter how mean
This hard road treated me
I always could find my way home
Don't you know

[Repeat Chorus]

"How Does It Feel To Be Back"

"How Does It Feel To Be Back"



Please return, come back, I've been saving your place
Too much time has elapsed-unreality-memory erases
The rules and the rights and the wrongs don't apply
Far apart - So together is destiny weeded to fate
I write the script, you direct my dreams
We're along on the beach for the passionate scene
And it's a drag to wake up with you ... saying to me
How does it feel to be back in my arms again

I'm bored and alone and it's weakening me
One night out and I'm looking for trouble and finding it's easy
You know we all make mistakes and we all need the touch of a hand
In the right kind of place, in a time of need
I could pick up the phone, but the talk ain't cheap
I pick up on the thoughts that you're sending to me
And i wait for the day I hear you saying to me
How does it feel to be back in my arms again

"I Ain't Gonna Take It This Time"

"I Ain't Gonna Take It This Time"


You push my buttons hard
And don't even realize what you're doing is killing my soul
Do you think I'm just some prize
You can win and then discard after the thrill is gone?
Well, listen then

[Chorus:]
I ain't gonna take it this time
I ain't gonna take that from anyone
I ain't gonna take it this time
Guess I'm gonna break out

You know I try to please
I lay awake at night
Trying to find the words you'll understand
But when I'm nothing but sincere
I know you can't be hearing
Cause you say it's more of the same
Well, listen then

[Chorus]

Do you think I'd ever try to fool you
There are enough lies in the world
You don't need mine
If I can't win your heart and move you
You must be blind

"I Can Dream About You"
(originally by Dan Hartman)

"I Can Dream About You"
(originally by Dan Hartman)



No more trying
To hold someone close to my life
It's time for finding
Some way to get through my sleepless nights

I can dream about you
If I can't ho Id you tonight I can dream about you
Maybe that will make it all right
All right

Moving sidewalks
Uneven under my feet
My true feelings
Down deep below
'Cause the streets see me lonely for you
Just for you

I can dream about you
In my dreams we're still happy
And you're still part of me
I can dream about you
And when you're in my mind's eye
You're a sweet memory, memory

Baby, I'm dreaming
(I can dream about you)
Dreaming, oh
I can dream about you
Oh, maybe that will make it all right
All right, all right

I can dream about you

"I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)"

"I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)"


Easy, ready, willing, overtime
Where does it stop
Where do you dare me
To draw the line
You've got the body
Now you want my soul
Don't even think about it
Say, no go
I, I-I, I 'll do anything
That you want me to do
Yeah, I, I-I, I'll do almost anything
That you want me too, ooh
Yeah

But I can't go for that, nooo
(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo
(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo
(No)
No can do
I can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that

I can go for being twice as nice
I can go for just repeating
The same old lines
Use the body
Now you want my soul
Ooh, forget about it
Now say, no go

I, I-I, I 'll do anything
That you want me to do
Yeah, I, I-I, I'll do almost anything
That you want me too, ooh
Yeah

But I can't go for that, nooo
(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo
(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo

Can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that, yeah

[Instrumental Interlude]

Yeah, I, I-I, I 'll do anything
That you want me to do
Yeah, I, I-I, I'll do almost anything
That you want me too, ooh
Yeah

But I can't go for that, nooo

Can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that, yeah..

"I Don't Think So"

"I Don't Think So"


We've been through this time together
All in my mind the love was so alive
Oh I never wanted for another
Then I saw the beginnings of a lie
Good times and the bad times
Through the good times and the bad times with me
Good times and the bad times
Yeah I wonder why I never see
Good times and the bad times
Oh maybe there was always something wrong
Good times and the bad times
Did l wait too long

[Chorus:]
You said you'd love me for all of your life
I don't think so
Through the best of the best and the worst of the times
I don't think so
You said the world was a beautiful place
L don't think so

You swore the love was perfectly
Sale
I don't think so
People can only stay together
If in their hearts they know they can say what's on their minds
Would you say
Good times and the bad times
If it can't really be then I gotta move on
Good times and the bad times
Is it really time

[Chorus]

Said the check's in the mail and the mail's on time
I don't think so
Said out of touch ain't out of mind
I don't think so
Couldn't live without me, and that's a fact
I don't think so
Love is real and it's not an act
I don't think so
Come on
Good times and the bad times
I don't think so
Good times and the bad times
Baby our love was a beautiful thing
I don't think so
Good times and the bad times
You said you'd love me for all of your life
I don't think so
Good times and the bad times
Through the best of the best and the worst of times
I don't think so
L don't think so baby oh baby oh baby come on
I don't think so
The love was right but the loving was wrong

"I Don't Wanna Lose You"

"I Don't Wanna Lose You"



You and I have separate lives girl
You and I go different ways on roads that cross
When love and loss is ruled by fate
People have a tragic habit
Of letting love get in the way
They tend to lose their overviews and overplay
Something I wanna say
Something I've got to do
Feels like you're drifting away
And I don't wanna lose you
I'll try to find a way to encourage you
It's easy to convince myself
Cause I can't believe you'd wanna be with somebody else
People have a tragic habit
Of letting love get in the way
They tend to lose their overviews and overplay
Something I wanna say
Something I've got to do
Feels like you're drifting away
And I don't wanna lose you
