"They Said You Needed Me"

"They Said You Needed Me"



Goodbye, so long
Were the last words from you
Seems like you’re over
All the goodness we knew
You think that you’re strong
You think that you don’t
You don’t need no one
Well, I was talkin’ to some of your friends
Just to see how everyone was doin’
And they said you needed me
Said it was something you’d never admit
But it was hard to see you going through it
They said you needed me
Guess I’ll suffer ‘til I’m where I belong
I’m under the pressure
But I’ll keep being strong
You say that you’re strong
You say that you don’t need anyone
What in the world are you telling your friends
I get confused every time I see them
They said you needed me
I know the people talk just for the thrill
But the fact of the matter is still
They said you needed me
Take your time, re-invent your mind
You’ll feel better, you’ll feel stronger
Then decide if I’m in your life
For forever or longer
You think that you’re strong
You think that you don’t
You don’t need no one
Well, I was talkin’ to some of your friends
Just to see how everyone was doin’
And they said you needed me
Said it was something you’d never admit
But it was hard to see you going through it
They said you needed me

"Think About You"

"Think About You"



So close to paradise, but closer than I should be
It’s like I’m along for the ride, it happened unexpectedly
Promised myself that I wouldn’t ever love again
But you make me feel something, my mind’s always on you
I was standing in the rain (I thought about you)
I was riding on the train (I thought about you)
Feeling high like I seem to do
Every time I think about you
Saw two lovers start to kiss (I thought about you)
Had to hold back the tears (I thought about you)
Other girls no more exist
All because I think about you
Nothing seems to help, I don’t even know myself
I’m trying not to think of you, but a heart does what it wants to do
Pass you by, see you smile and I must admit I get
So emotional, I think I’m falling for you
Bought a pillow for my room (I thought about you)
Heard Alicia sing a tune (I thought about you)
It sends my rocket to the moon
Every time I think about you
Right from this heart of mine (I thought about you)
I wanted you every time (I thought about you)
What I feel is so divine
And it’s all because I think about you
But I’m constantly reminded
Reminded that you’re only someone who I’d like to know
You don’t know me, you’re my private fantasy
You’re with me, constantly in my mind
Had a lovely day today (I thought about you)
Wasn’t hard to get through (I thought about you)
Seems to happen easily
Every time I think about you
Took a walk with myself (I thought about you)
Wish it could’ve been with you (I thought about you)
But every star in the sky came out for me
And it’s all because I think about you

"This Time I'm Right"

"This Time I'm Right"



Don't know what this could be
Could it be love taking a hold on me?
There's no pain, there's no doubt
For the first time there's nothing to cry about
She wears the stars in her eyes
And she looks and she sees into this heart
I could survive after any lover
Love could go wrong one way or another
But, this time I'm right; this time I know
This time I know that it's love 'til the end
Yesterday's over, I'm starting again
And, this time I'm right; this time I know it's love
Ain't no love like she gives
And she told me that I'm the reason she lives
Comes to me all the time
I'm not just making her up in my mind
I see the stars in her eyes
And I look and I know that she sees only mine
All of my life I've been waiting for this
This is the love that I don't wanna miss
'Cause, this time I'm right; this time I know
I'm a believer in love that's for real
I don't know much, but I know what I feel
And, this time I'm right; this time I know it's love
This is it, can't waste time
'Cause I know, the one is mine
Celebrate, can't slow down
It's of r sure, love's turning me around
I could survive after any lover
Love could go wrong one way or another
But, this time I'm right; this time I know
This time I know that it's love 'til the end
Yesterday's over, I'm starting again
And, this time I'm right; this time I know it's love
All of my life I've been waiting for this
This is the love that I don't wanna miss
'Cause, this time I'm right; this time I know
I'm a believer in love that's for real
I don't know much, but I know what I feel
And, this time I'm right; this time I know it's love

"Too Far Down"

"Too Far Down"


Last time you thought of him, he thought of you
And it proves the magic was for real
Just then the winds of change
Brought down the falling rain, so unexpected
What should you do

Now, you've got plans to change, some things to rearrange
Scared of tomorrow, scared of right now too
See, it's all very sad
Can't deny you feel bad
But I just don't want you to let this thing take you over

Don't let it hurt so bad, don't let it because
Everything can be the way that it was
But keep hurt inside and it's just like those tears of the clown
Everyone says that you'll come back around
But, not if you fall too far down

No one really knows
When their clouds will go away
That's why they say we should always save
For a rainy day

Someone made some promises that didn't keep
It set you up just to let you down
Be careful not to let it push you around
And you'll be okay, if you take one day by one day
See, I just don't want you to
Let this thing take you over

Don't let it hurt so bad, don't let it because
Most of your life can be the way that it was
But, keep hurt inside and it's just like those tears of the clown
Everyone thinks that you'll come back around
But, not if you fall too far down

[Bridge:]
Too far down is where you fall when you don't care no more
But, what about love
Isn't it worth living for
You don't know

Don't let it hurt so bad, don't let it because
Everything can be the way that it was
But keep hurt inside and it's just like those tears of the clown
Everyone says that you'll come back around
But, not if you fall too far down

You're not the only one, who's love and whose lost
So many people, too, know they've all paid the cost
The thing that we learn is how to get a smile from a frown
Go ahead ifyou want, stumble and fall
But, don't fall honey too far down

[Fade]

"Too Proud To Beg"

"Too Proud To Beg"



Love came to me that day
Stayed longer than I planned
But change is good, they say
So I rearranged my world for them
For her and love and, here I go again
I spoke to my heart
Said, "Open up wide"
Then got the message you had changed your mind
And now here I am and I just don't understand
Baby, if you talk to me then I will listen
There can't be no "us" honey, if "you" are missin'
Yes I love you, yes I need you
ain't no world for me without you
I want you, I'm just too proud to beg
So sad the journey made
So high the price we have to pay
All for love...
And it hurts you anyway
I can't lose my soul to hope and wishing
You don't understand me, I know that you think...
I don't love you, I don't need you
But, my intentions are to love you
See, I want you, I'm just too proud...
To beg for your love
So don't put me through it
Take a little time to think about what you're doing
And try to understand why...
Yes I love you, yes I need you
ain't no world for me without you
I want you, I'm just too proud to beg
So sad the journey made
So high the price we have to pay
All for love...
And it hurts you anyway

"Treat You Right"

"Treat You Right"


I think I dream about you
Most of the time.
What can I say? Hey, Hey.
But I don't see you much.
It's only once in a while.
I want to know what you feel.
i used to hang around
Being the toast of the town.
But it's strange how your friends
can sometimes let you fall down.
But you
And everyone in the world can see
That I'm for real, honey.
See, I don't know how to fool your heart.
I just know what I know and what I know is. . .
[Chorus:]
I will treat you right.
Cause little darlin'
You've got to be mine.
I see your love light.
We'll have a beautiful time.
All night.
I think about you; you're so fine.
It just might work out
If I treat you right.
I want to keep you close to the heart.
What can I say? Hey, hey.
So I know, you will never ever, never go far.
Cause I can feel if it's real.
Though your friends say they still doubt me
They don't know of the you I see.
And I don't know how to do you wrong.
I just know what I know and what I know is. . .
[Chorus]
You and everyone in the world can see
That I'm for real, honey.
I don't know how to fool your heart.
I just know what I know and what I know is. . .
[Repeat Chorus and fade out]

 

[fox69]

"Wait For Love"

"Wait For Love"


Knowing love the way I do
I can say for certain that it's true
There's a chance for me and you.
I surely feel like the time is near
The picture in my mind is very clear
I think love has brought us here

I remember not too long ago
I was just a lonely person
With a lonely heart, yeah
And I was hoping there could one day be,
Be a chance

[Chorus:]
For me to get the love
That I'd been missing
Sometimes love takes a long time
Wait for love
And you're gonna to get the chance to love
Wait for love, wait for love oh, my

When you take the chance on love you'll see
It's not a waste of time if you truly believe
The impossible can be
So hold on tight if you think you're right
Cause nothing hurts as bad as when you see
You gave up too easily

Now I remember spending all my time
On a dream that kept me wishing that you could be mine, yeah
And I was hoping there could one day be, be a chance, whoa

[Chorus]

I never stopped believing there could one day be, be a chance

For me to get the love that I'd been missing
Sometimes love takes a long time
Wait for love, and you're going to get your
Chance to love
Wait for love, wait for love
And you'll get the love that you've been missing
Sometimes love takes a long time
But wait for love
And you're going to get your chance to love
[Repeat until fade]

"What The World Needs Now"

"What The World Needs Now"



What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just too little of

What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No not just for some
But for everyone

Lord we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides
Enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers
Enough to cross
Enough to last
Till the end of time

What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No not just for some
But for everyone
Lord we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheatfields
Enough to grow
And there are sunbeams and moonbeams
Enough to shine
So listen, Lord
If you want to know

What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just too little of

What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No not just for some
But for everyone

More love, uhh, more love
Everybody know that
(the world needs love)
Everybody, Everybody knows that
(this world needs love)
This world, the whole world
(the whole world needs love)
The whole world, the whole world
(more love, more lovin')
There's not enough...

"When I Need You"

"When I Need You"



No one knows the side of you that I know
No one gets to see, to feel you
To hear you when they call
I'm the only one you answer
Because I know what to do
I know what to do

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heartbeat away
When I need love
I hold out my hand and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Miles and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
But I won't be traveling forever
It's cold out, but hold out
And do like I do

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heartbeat away

It's not easy when the road is your driver
But honey that's the heavy load that we bear
But I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
When I need you

But I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out, oh honey, hold out
And do like I do

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you baby
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heartbeat away

When I need love
I hold out my hand and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Honey, when I need you

I'm in a cloud and I'm holding my hand out to you
Holding my hand out to you
Holding my hand out for you
