"Talking To You"

"Talking To You"



I’m talking to you but you’re not listening
I’m talking to you but you’re not listening
I believed every word you say
But one hand gave while the other one took it away

I trusted you but you deceived me
I trusted you but you deceived me
The hand of fate has left no trace
But you use it now just to smash my face

I feel like talkin’ to you but that don’t do me no good
My words don’t make it through
Don’t know the meaning of truth
Never did, should’ve known that you never would

I remember times when you looked real fine
And my heart was yours but your eyes were blind
And the way you swayed in time just blew my mind

When you smile at me, how was i to know
You were not so young for a girl to show
Her loving feelings kept inside
But sooner or later somebody’s gonna figure it out

I’m talking to you but you’re not listening

I remember times when you looked real fine
And my heart was yours but your eyes were blind
And the way you swayed in time just blew my mind

When you smile at me, how was I to know
You were not so young for a girl to show
Her loving feelings kept inside
But sooner or later somebody’s gonna figure it out

I’m talking to you but you’re not listening
I’m talking to you but you’re not listening

I feel like talkin’ to you but that don’t do me no good
My words don’t make it through
Don’t know the meaning of truth
I feel like talkin’ to you but that don’t do me no good
My words don’t make it through
Don’t know the meaning of truth
I feel like talkin’ to you but that don’t do me no good
My words don’t make it through
Don’t know the meaning of truth

"Tears"

"Tears"



Forever seems a long time
To live without you here
Like walking in the dark I’m blind and need you near
And hope I make this clear

Beneath my pride
The pain is real
And deep inside
I hide my fears
Please forgive me all I have is tears

So many things to tell you
Too much for me to say
And words can’t show the feelings
I have for you each day
But I know my love will find a way

Beneath my pride
The pain is real
And deep inside
I hide my fears
Please forgive me all I have is tears

I look all around my world for answers
But baby I’m lost without your love

Please forgive me all I have is tears

Beneath my pride
The pain is real
And deep inside
I hide my fears
Please forgive me all I have is tears

"Tears We Cry"

"Tears We Cry"




I was alone, then you came along
So unexpected but you made me strong
Never took for granted what I thought was mine

We'd stay together was the plan I had for you and I
Everything seemed right

How could a love that was so special, that it gave you life
Just be taken without warning
I sit here alone and still wonder why

With all the tears we cry
Wash away the pain inside
All the questions are left behind
Floating in the tears we cry

Don't feel the anger and I don't feel the pain
Just an empty space where your loving arms would make my day
There's not a single trace

Now I try to keep believing
It was meant to be
If a God's so demanding
I'd face all he has just to keep you with me

Every time I close my eyes, I see you there
Then I wonder why
I never keep you
Safe and warm

Nothing's gonna change the way you came and went
Just like a summer's day
Just an empty space now that you have gone

Oh, now I keep trying to believe it was meant to be
If there's a God up in heaven
All I know is he ain't looking at me

"Temptation"

"Temptation"



You see her on the tv after ten
She’s the one who’s dressed in the leopard skin
She’ll whisper to you as you turn her on
As she pulls her leathers to her chin
She says I’m holding on, i’m holding on

You put her number by the telephone
And you call her up when you’re all alone
She’ll tell you tales, they’re going to make you sweat
All you have to do is make her moan
She says I’m holding on, I’m holding on

(temptation)
I want to be your inspiration, I want you to be mine
(temptation)
I want to be your inspiration, I want you to be mine

She’ll share the ecstacy on that line
Shut your eyes and fantasize
Does she remind you of somebody else
All you have to do is close your eyes

I want to be your temptation
I want to be your inspiration, I want you to be mine
I want to be your temptation
I want to be your inspiration, I want you to be mine
I want to be your temptation
I want to be your temptation
I want to be your temptation
So tell me what you wanna
I want to be your temptation

"Thankful For The Rain"

"Thankful For The Rain"



From when you came to stay until you went away
From me
By all that’s up above you swore you’d keep your love
For me
And though I really do believe
Nothing’s forever and I know one day I’ll see

I’m thankful for the rain that washed away my pain
It came down just in time to save this heart of mine
I’m thankful for the rain

Now that dark has passed I see the light at last
It’s true
Sometimes I close my eyes, I drift into paradise
Baby with you
Though life is bitter-sweet I hunger just for you

I’m thankful for the rain that washed away my pain
It came down just in time to save this heart of mine
I’m thankful for the tide that swept away my pride
I never would have known a love that never died
I’m thankful for the rain
I’m thankful for the rain
I’m thankful for the rain

From when you came to stay until you went away
By all that’s up above you swore you’d keep your love

I’m thankful for the rain

"The Loved One"

"The Loved One"



Yonder she's walking
She comes my way
Her red dress on
Her long black hair

Walking like
Talking like
Wanting like
She comes to me

Oh baby I love you so
I need you now
I want you back
I can't go on

Helpless baby
Evil child
I've known you well
And if you want to stay
That's alright
That's alright

And now she's gone
She's walking away
Her red dress on
Her long black hair

Well I love her so
And now she'll come running
Anytime I say now
Anytime I say

Oh baby I love you so
I need you now
I want you back
I can't go on

Oh baby I love you so
I need you now
I want you back
I can't go on

Oh baby I love you so
I need you now
I want you back
I can't go on

I love you so baby
I need you so
I want you back
I can't go on

"The Weight"

"The Weight"



I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin’ ‘bout half past dead
Just needed to find a place where I could lay my head
‘hey mister can you tell me
Where a man might find a bed?’
He just grinned and shook my hand
And ‘no’ was all he said
Take a load of Annie
Take a load for free
Take a load of Annie
And put the load right on me

I picked up my bags and went lookin’ for a place to hide
When I saw ol’ Carmel and the devil walkin’ side by side
I said ‘hey Carmel c’mon let’s go downtown’
She said ‘I gotta go, but my friend here can stay around’
Take a load of Annie
Take a load for free
Take a load of Annie
And put the load right on me

Go down miss Moses, there ain’t nothin’ you can say
It’s just ol’ Luke
Luke is waitin’ on a judgement day
Hey Luke my friend what about young Anna-Lee?
He said ‘do me a favour boy
Won’t you stay and keep Anna-Lee company?’
Take a load of Annie
Take a load for free
Take a load of Annie
And put the load right on me

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fall
He said ‘i’ll see you right, if you take on jack my dog’
I said ‘no, wait a minute Chester, no I’m a peaceful man’
He said ‘that’s okay, just feed him when you can’
Take a load of Annie
Take a load for free
Take a load of Annie
And put the load right on me

I’ll catch a cannonball now to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low - I don’t believe it’s time
To get back to miss Annie, you know she’s the only one
Who sent me here will her regards to everyone
Take a load of Annie
Take a load for free
Take a load of Annie
And put the load right on me

"Thickskinned"

"Thickskinned"



You say I've got a lot of problems
And I know it's true
I only own what's on my back
And that ain't too new
Why don't I find a proper job
And get my self some dough
Don't like my car
Or my manners
Or me I know

You push me around a lot
You treat me bad a lot
You know it hurts so much
But I don't mind
'cause I'm thickskinned

Friends say you always put me down
And baby I don't mind
'cause when the night time comes it's me
You wrap your arms around

You push me around a lot
You treat me bad a lot
You know it hurts so much
But I don't mind
'cause I'm thickskinned

You push me around a lot
You treat me bad a lot
You know it hurts so much
But I don't mind
'cause I'm thickskinned

And you treat me bad a lot
And you push me around a lot
You know it hurts so much
But I don't mind
'cause I'm thickskinned.

"Time Will Tell"

"Time Will Tell"



I will not lay down with just a whimper
I will not be strong because it’s simpler

And time will tell, that in life’s empty well
Love can stop the thirst, if you can find some

I will not be told because I’m not waiting
No sacrifice can take away the hating

And time will tell, that in life’s empty well
Love can stop the thirst, if you can find some

Only time will tell

And time will tell, that in life’s empty well
Love can stop the thirst, if you can find some

Time will tell, time will tell, time is going to tell
Time will tell, time will tell, time is going to tell
Time will tell, time will tell, time is going to tell
Time will tell, time will tell, time is going to tell

Am I too late now, I guess only time will tell
Am I too late now, I guess only time will tell

"To Love Somebody"

"To Love Somebody"



There’s a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be spent with you
Spent with you
There’s a way everybody says
To do each and everything
Oh, what goods everything
If I ain’t got you babe, I ain’t got you babe

You don’t know what it’s like baby
You don’t know what it’s like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

In my brain
I know I’ll see your face again
Because in my frame of mind
You ain’t got to be so blind
And I’m crying I’m dying
‘Cause I’m a man look at all I am
I live and breath for you
But what good does that do
If I ain’t got you baby, I ain’t got you baby

You don’t know what it’s like baby
You don’t know what it’s like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

You don’t know what it’s like baby
You don’t know what it’s like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

You don’t know what it’s like baby
You don’t know what it’s like

To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
Love somebody
