"I Hear The Laughter"

"I Hear The Laughter"


Listening to the falling rain
Always seems to bring her back again
I can remember like it was yesterday
The sound of her voice, the look upon her face
Like children playing children's games
We joked and laughed at every passing day
I'm so much older, things have changed
I've realized that now it's just too late
I hear the laughter echoing through my brain
I hear the laughter then I'm alone again
I tried to forget her heaven knows
Seems there's no direction left to go
I can remember like it was yesterday
I hear the laughter then I'm alone again
I'm alone again, alone again, alone again
[Solo]
I wish I that I could hold you now
I wish that I could turn this all around
It's just my foolish fantasy
But that won't bring your sweet love back to me
I hear the laughter, somebody called my name
I hear the laughter and I can feel the pain
I hear the laughter echoing through my brain
I hear the laughter then I'm alone again
I hear the laughter
I hear the laughter

"I Never Knew"

"I Never Knew"


I never knew nobody
Who loved me better than the way you do
I never knew no-one like you
I never knew this feeling
I never trusted no-one in my life
But I know with you it's right
'Cos baby you're there
When I need you
Baby you're there
If I'm blue
And I know that I'm blessed
I can only confess
That there's so much that I never knew
I never knew how happy
I could be with you here by my side
As I look at you tonight
All day I'm just dreaming
That's all that I do
Can't wait for the hours
That I spend with you
I never knew nobody
Who loved me better than the way you do
But there's so much I never knew
No there's so much I never knew
There's so much I never – knew…

"I Think We Fell In Love Too Fast"

"I Think We Fell In Love Too Fast"


We were just two kids in high school
Who's never been in love before
Just happened to be together
We never really wanted more
We had one long crazy summer
Our life was like a honeymoon
But we couldn't hold back our feelings
I guess you came along too soon
Ooh, darlin'
I think we fell in love too fast
Ooh, darlin'
I think we fell in love too fast
I was workin' my way through college
When you wrote and told me the news
Said you were gonna have a baby
Yeah, I knew my college days were through
Had to work late to make the money
You saw more of the kid than me
I guess I knew I failed you
When you said that you would rather be free
You wanted to be free
Ooh, darlin'
I think we fell in love too fast
Ooh, darlin'
I think we fell in love too fast
Well I heard you got away to Florida
Got a husband, took the kid
I bet they think the whole world of you
Just like I always did
You were only one I ever wanted
But I know you can't be replaced
If only we'd met a little later, babe
We wouldn't have made the same mistakes
Oh, no, no, no, ooh
Darlin' yeah
I think we fell in love too fast
I know it now
Ooh, darlin', darlin'
I know we fell in love too fast, too fast
Ooh, darlin' yeah
I think we fell in love too fast
I know it now
Ooh, darlin', darlin'
I know we fell in love too fast, too fast

"I Want You Back"

"I Want You Back"


You know I thought I could live without you
I thought I could get along
But I never realized that I could be so wrong
Was I a fool to leave you
Or was I a fool to let you go
Doesn't seem to matter much now baby
I should have never let you go
I want you back
I want you back
And I will never stop until I got you back
I wander the road where we used to walk
And lots of people pass by
They all look like they're in love
Everybody but me
I see your face in the crowd
I hear your voice everywhere I go
And when I turn around thinking you've come back
Ah, you're never, never, never there
I want you back
I want you back
And I'll keep on searchin' until you're really here
I want you back
I want you back
And I'll never stop until I get you back
Back in my arms to stay
I want you back
I want you back
And I will never stop until I know I've got
You back in my heart to stay

"I Will Not Stop Fighting"

"I Will Not Stop Fighting"


Oh and I can see the sadness in your eyes
Well you shouldn't ever have to cry
Oh I will put you back on your feet again
If you you'll let me try
Oh I will not stop fighting for you
Until the day I day
Oh they know how to shatter your dreams
But this time they've really gone to extremes
They just don't give a damn
About you and me baby
But we will not stop dreaming
Until they set us free
Oh well a change of heart
Leads to a change of time
We shouldn't be here wishing
For a change of mind
I remember when we were just starting out
Your world was lonely, needed mine
So I will not stop fighting for you
Until I run out of time
[Solo]
Oh and I want to stay this close to you
And I don't want it to stop, no
Until you feel happy too
No one else will understand
What we're going through
But I will not stop fighting
Until you stop fighting too
Oh well a change of heart
Leads to a change of mind
Shouldn't be here wishing
For a change of time
Oh I remember when we were just starting out
Your world was lonely, needed mine
So, I will not stop fighting for you
Until I run out of time

"In My Life"

"In My Life"


Seen a lot of good times in my life
Times when everything went so right
Seen a lot of things go wrong and I just don't know why
I've seen a lot of good times in my life
Had a bit of sadness in my life
Friend of mine went down the other night
Tried to sort it out but now I just don't know why
I've had a bit of sadness in my life
You see I am a lonely, lonely, man
And what I got, I got together with my own two hands
And I wonder what am I gonna do to put things right
I've seen a lot of good times in my life
I've taken lots of chances in my life
Now one of them has changed me overnight
I've seen a glimpse of the other side
The lights are much too bright
I've taken lots of chances in my life
You see I am a lonely, lonely, man
And what I got, I got together with my own two hands
And I wonder what am I gonna do to put these things right
I've seen a lot of good times in my life
I gotta do something with my life
Gotta make a change and put up a fight
Stand on my own two feet and do it right
I gotta do something with my life
You see I am a lonely, lonely, man
And what I got, I got together with my own two hands
And I wonder what am I gonna do to put things right
I've seen a lot of good times in my life

"Innocent Bystander"

"Innocent Bystander"


Standing by the railway station
Waiting for your train
But the train never comes
No, the train never comes
And I think I'm going out of my head
Yes I think I'm going out of my head
Running down the track
Trying to reach the end
But the end never comes
No, the end never comes
And I think I'm going out of my head
Yes I think I'm going out of my head
I've been waiting for the sun
But it always hides behind the sky
And time rolls by before my eyes
That's the story of my life
And I think I'm going out of my head
Yes, I think I'm going out of my head
Aaah - aaah
Aaah
Aaah
I've been waiting for the sun
But it always hides behind the sky
And time goes by before my eyes
That's the story of my life
And I think I'm going out of my head
Yes, I think I'm going out of my head
Well I Think I'm going out of my
I think I'm going out of my
I think I'm going out of my
I think I'm going out of my
I think I'm going out of my head

"It's Over"

"It's Over"


Last night I realized
There's no point in compromise
I guess it's time we said it's over
'Cos I been watchin' you
Searchin' for something' new
Go find it now 'cos it's all over
What's the sense in bitterness
It only leads to emptiness
I thought that we'd find happiness
But we've run out of track and we won't get it back
'Cos it's over, it's all over
It's all over, it's over
I'm gonna have to live with this
The one thing that I will miss
Is coming to you when my day is over
I'll come home to loneliness
My life all in a mess
Just wishing we were never over
You read about it every day
Another love has gone astray
But who would think we'd end this way
We've run out of track and we won't get it back
And it's over, it's all over
It's over, it's all over
I remember when you said to me
Take care when you share your love
Before you give it all so easily
Be sure that you can give enough
Look what happened to us
It's all over, it's over
Over, it's all over
It's all over, it's all over
We've run out of track and we won't get back
'Cos it's over
No more me, no more you
It's over
It's all over

"La Booga Rooga"

"La Booga Rooga"


Don't look back, that'll get you nowhere
A wall to wall suit and space circus hair
One step forward, one step back
That's what happens and that's a fact
To tell the truth, you raise up your hand
Don't write me no invitations in the sand
And when you talk, say what you mean
Just keep it dry lord, and keep it clean
Watch out for a la booga rooga
Some you win and some you loosa
Watch out for la booga rooga
Some you win and some you loosa
I don't know why and I can't explain
Why I'm lost on a street with no name
That's alright, that's okay
I just feel like I'm slipping away
Satellite mama, if you are near
Hey, the party's over, now just get me outa here
Silent night, watch over me
See that nobody writes me into the dream
Watch out for la booga rooga
Some you win and some you loosa
Watch out for la booga rooga
Some you win and some you loosa
[Solo]
I'm on fire inside my head
Someone put out the light
And they sent the world to bed
It's not too late, but I, I just can't stop
I think this time I'm going over the top
Hey, Mr. Dogface, please let me in
Say, don't you think that I'm worth remembering
Watch your step, watch what you do
'Cos you need me much more than I need you
Watch out for la booga rooga
Some you win and some you loosa
Watch out for la booga rooga
Some you win and some you loosa
Watch out for la booga rooga
Some you win and some you loosa
Watch out for la booga rooga
Some you win and some you loosa

"Leave Well Enough Alone"

"Leave Well Enough Alone"


Little girl you have your fun
Take it easy
Just don't jump the gun
You don't have to try so hard
You will always be my number one
You got me in your bed of roses
Please don't change the boy
'Cos havin' you around heaven knows
Is somethin' I enjoy
Leave well enough alone baby
Don't get too serious, no
Leave well enough alone child
Don't go and change on us
Life won't be the same for us
Better leave it alone
I know you've got ideas
Monograms and sets of hers and his
I hate to have to break the spell
But let me tell you how it really is
You know I feel at home with you just the way we are
But go ahead and dream those dreams
Just don't carry them too far
Leave well enough alone baby
Don't get too serious
Leave well enough alone child
Don't go and change on us
Life won't be the same for us
Better leave it alone
You know it feels so good with you just the way we are
But if you wanna dram those dreams baby
Don't carry them too far
Leave well enough alone child
I love you just the way you are
Leave well enough alone baby
Let's not change a thing baby
Let's not change a thing babe
Leave it alone
Please, please, please,
Please leave
Leave it alone baby
