"Fools Game"

"Fools Game"


When I met you, oh
You know at first you had me so confused
I used to lay awake at night
Just copin' with the feelings I so long refused

Well I surrendered my love
I saw you turn your heart stone cold to ice, darlin'
I put my heart on the line for you
Oh I did, I put my heart on the line, yeah
First you take me to the highest ground
Then you keep me hanging like some foolish clown

[Chorus:]
It's such a fools' game, yeah
It's such a fools' game
I keep playing such a fools' game, yeah(forever)
I keep on playin', keep on playin' this fools' game
Yeah, this fools' game

I can't take another sleepless night
It's time to light the fire down inside of you
I don't mind, I have the sun on my back

To get a feeling that you never knew
You never knew
Got the secret in the palm of your hands
Will you keep it woman, will you break this man

[Chorus]

Girl I know, you're playin' full time
But it may be too late, when you make up your mind

You keep me in this fools' game
Forever in your fools' game
You got me caught up in this fools' game
Such a fools' game, oh no, a fools' game
How long will you keep me in this fools' game

"For Once In My Life"

"For Once In My Life"



For once in my life I've got someone who needs me, someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me, and somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew someone warm like you
Could make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me, not like it's hurt me before
For once I've got someone I know won't desert me, and I'm not alone anymore
For once I can say: "This is mine you can't take it"
As long as I've got love I know I can make it
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me

"Forever Eyes"

"Forever Eyes"


I was standing in the moonlight
With my heart in my hands
Life had taken me full circle
And I was meant to love again
Playing all or nothing
I'd given up on love, yeah
Just when I thought
I'd never fall in love again
The bough of my heart opened
And you walked in
With those......

[Chorus:]
Forever eyes, looking right at me
Now I find myself believing
Love will always be
In your forever eyes
Never say good-bye
'Cause I only want to lose myself
In your forever eyes

There were times you'd see right through me
I'm a child in your hands
But the moment that you touch me
You set fire to this man
Burning inspiration
That's what I feel right now
Waves of emotion carry me along
Your love is like a river
Going on and on
In your....

[Chorus]

Forever eyes

[Chorus]

"Forever Isn't Long Enough"

"Forever Isn't Long Enough"


The tickin' of the clock, the beating of my heart
Pounding like a drum in the dark for you
If I could conquer time, I'd love you day and night
And make this moment last, baby all my life

Ask me how long I'll need you
Ask me how long I'll be there

[Chorus:]
Forever isn't long enough, to give you my love,
to give you my love
Till the end of time isn't time enough
For everything I wanna do
Forever isn't long enough, to give all my love, to you

I watch you as you sleep, I'm jealous of the night
I'd steal you from your dreams, just to buy more time
So much in my heart, so much in my soul
A lifetime ain't enough to ever let you know

Tell me this will be for always
Tell me you'll always be there

[Chorus]

'Cause the time is passin' by, and the more it slips away
When I look into your eyes, I know...baby
It isn't long enough, to give you my love
Forever ain't enough to give it all to you
There isn't time enough to see it all through
Forever ain't enough to give my love to you

"Forever's Just A Matter Of Time"

"Forever's Just A Matter Of Time"


How in the h*ll did this begin
Like some cruel game we can't seem to win
It just goes on over and over again

It took the best outta you and me
I thought we swore we'd let this love rest in peace
Am I wrong
Didn't we part as friends

How many lifetimes must we live through
Till we're lookin' through the eyes of the truth

[Chorus:]
We are joined at the soul
With a heart that don't know how to let go
What does it mean when it don't mean a thing
When we say good-bye
But if life is unkind
And forever ain't a place we can find
We'll know how we've tried
And that forever's just a matter of time

So much love, so much pain
No one to judge, no one to blame
It holds on
How desperate this need that remains

We know the passion that leads us blind
'Cause the two of us are one of a kind

[Chorus]

Time after time we stumble and fall
Past the point of no return
God knows we've given so much more than our all
To this lesson we may never learn

[Chorus]

"From Now On"
(feat. Suzie Benson)

"From Now On"
(feat. Suzie Benson)



[Michael:]
You always said I'd never know how much I loved you
Until it was too late to make you stay
I know it looked as though I took our love for granted
That doesn't mean I wasn't feeling all the things
I meant to say

[Suzie:]
And who was I always asking so much of you
To make you prove your love time after time
Until I found myself living my life without you
How could I have been so foolish, how could
I be so blind

[Chorus]
[Michael & Suzie:]
From now on I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
I don't want to wait until our time has come and gone
I'm gonna hold you now more than ever
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you, from now on

We both know it's true, when we're open to each other
There's a love we'll never find with someone else
And if we give it half a chance we'll be starting over
So let me make your heart believe what I've been
promising myself

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Baby, there'll be no distance between us
Oh, this time I know we're gonna make it
together where we belong

[Chorus]

"Georgia On My Mind"

"Georgia On My Mind"



Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Talking 'bout Georgia
I'm in Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight
Through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Georgia, sweet Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back
It always leads back to you

I'm in Georgia, Georgia, sweet Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old sweet song
Keeps Georgia forever on my mind
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia forever on my mind

"Gina"

"Gina"



Nowhere to run I know
She's got the best of me
The deed is done, Heaven knows
She wants the rest of me

It's much too late
I'm caught up in the fantasy
There's no escape
My runnin' days are history

Gina, Gina, girl I surrender
Gina, Gina, I'm over my head
Never been in love this way
Never been in love this way

Been on the loose so long
Love couldn't hold me down
The flame in you was so strong
Girl you turned my heart around

Now I'm losin' sleep
Can't get you out of my head
Think I'm in too deep
I'm a slave to every word that you said

Gina, Gina, girl I surrender
Gina, Gina, I'm over my head
Gina, Gina, it's forever
Never been in love this way
Never been in love this way

"Girl From Ipanema"

"Girl From Ipanema"



Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah
When she walks, she's like a samba that swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh

(Ooh) But I watch her so sadly, how can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly,
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall, (and) tan, (and) young, (and) lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile - but she doesn't see (doesn't see)
(She just doesn't see, she never sees me,...)

"Give Me A Reason"

"Give Me A Reason"



Just give me a reason for loving you
Just one reason for the things that you do
I wanna know, can you tell me it's true
I should love you the way I do

(I don't know why I love you like I do)
I don't know
(I don't know why I love you like I do)

Well you know I've been hurt
And you made me feel like a fool
And you told me things
That you know you didn't mean
I'll let you in on it, I love you so madly
I don't know why I love you the way I do

(I don't know why I love you like I do)
Oh, I don't know why I love you like I do
(I don't know why I love you like I do)

Oh, I know sometimes you treat me so cold
Baby, oh it hurts me down inside
But one of these days I'm gonna
Let you down so hard
You're gonna sit and wonder

Give me a reason why I love you
Just one reason for the things that you do
I wanna know
Can you tell me it's true
'Cause I love you the way I do

I don't know why I love you like I do
(I don't know why I love you like I do)
I don't know why
(I don't know why I love you like I do)
I don't know
(I don't know why I love you like I do)
Gimme a reason
(I don't know why I love you like I do)
Oh, just give me a reason
(I don't know why I love you like I do)
