NOWHERE TO RUN

NOWHERE TO RUN


Nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide

It's not love
I'm running from
It's the heartaches
That I know will come

'Cause I know
You're no good for me
But you've become
A part of me

Everywhere I go
Your face I see
Every step I take
You take with me, yeah

Nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide

I know you're
No good for me
But free of you
I'll never be, no

Each night as I sleep
Into my heart you creep
I wake up feeling sorry I met you
Hoping soon that I'll forget you

When I look in the mirror
And comb my hair
I see your face
Just a-smiling there

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide

I know you're
No good for me
But you've become
A part of me

How can I fight a lover
That's sugar sweet
When it's so deep, so deep
Deep inside of me

My love reaches so high
I can't get over it
It's so wide
I can't get around it, no

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
From you, baby
Just can't get away
No matter how I try

I know you're no good for me
But free of you I'll never be

Nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run
Got nowhere to run

ON MY WAY

ON MY WAY


Tell everybody I'm on my way
New friends and new places to see
With blue skies ahead, yes I'm on my way
And there's no where else that I'd rather be

Tell everybody I'm on my way
And I'm loving every step I take
With the sun beatin' down, yes I'm on my way
And I can't keep this smile off my face

'Cause there's nothing like seein' each other again
No matter what the distance between
And the stories that we tell will make you smile
Oh it really lifts my heart

So tell 'em all I'm on my way
New friends and new places to see
And to sleep under the stars and could ask for more
With the moon keeping watch over me

Not the snow not the rain can change my mind
The sun will come out wait and see
And the feeling of the wind in your face can lift your heart
Oh, there's no where I would rather be

'Cause I'm on my way now
Well and truly
I'm on my way now

I'm on my way now(x3)

Tell everybody I'm on my way
And I just can't wait to be there
With blue skies ahead yes I'm on my way
And nothing but good times to share

So, tell everybody I'm on my way
And I just can't wait to be home
With the sun beating down yes I'm on my way
And nothing but good times to show

I'm on my way
Yes, I'm on my way

ONE MORE NIGHT

ONE MORE NIGHT


I've been trying, oh so long to let you know
Let you know how I feel
And if I stumble, if I fall, just help me back
So I can make you see

Please give me one more night
Give me one more night
One more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

Give me just one more night
Ooh, just one more night
Oh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

I've been sitting here so long, wasting time
Just staring at the phone
And I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought, maybe you're not alone

Please give me one more night
Give me just one more night
Oh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

Please give me just one more night
Ooh, just one more night
Oh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

Give me one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

Like a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you sail away
I will follow you

Give me one more night
Give me just one more night
Oh, one more night
I can't wait forever

I know there'll never be a time
You'll ever feel the same
And I know it's only words

But if you change your mind
You know that I'll be here
And maybe we both can learn

Give me just one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

Give me just one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
'Cause I can't wait forever

ONLY YOU KNOW AND I KNOW

ONLY YOU KNOW AND I KNOW


We know you really only wanna hear
the things we like to say
But if I say to you
"please don't do it"
you do it anyway

Sometimes I know we gotta be cruel
be cruel to be kind
When I ask you what you see in me
you say our love is blind

(chorus)
Cause only you know and I know
the things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
the things we mean to say

Whenever I think I know you better
better than I know myself
I open up and give you everything
then you just say "OK, what else?"

And when I run away you always cry
you always over react
But I don't know if you
know how you really feel
But you better know before I get back

(chorus)

Just try to remember
now I'm the one you love
You told me, ooh try to remember
I'm the one you're always thinking of
You told me, please try to remember
Before I walk away
Remember it's not good enough
telling me the way it was yesterday

(instrumental)

(chorus 2x)

Only you know and I know...

(repeat to fade)

OUGHTA KNOW BY NOW

OUGHTA KNOW BY NOW


You oughta know by now
that a man can't hold on forever,
so why do you keep waiting here
when you know it makes me want you more?

You oughta know by now
how it fells to be loved,
so why d'you keep me hanging here,
with this stone around my heart, dragging me down, down, down

when all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you, let me in, let me in.

You oughta know by now
or maybe someone should show you
that a man needs to be loved
and even in this man's world
with you it don't come easy

You oughta know by now
that no man can sleep at night
with a burning in his heart
that would tear this man apart
take me out of my misery,

'cos all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you, let me in, let me in.
You oughta know by now
just how good it feels to be wanted,
and no man could love you more,
so why can't you show me something,
just a little bit of something?

You oughta know by now
all the things a man has to do in his life,
and all these things I do
you know that I do it all for you, I do it all for you.

'Cos all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you,
yes all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you.

Let me in, let me in,
Let me in your heart.

PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE

PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE


It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember, yes I will
Cause that was the day, that my daddy died
I never got a chance to see him
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth
Momma just hung her head and said, son

[Chorus:]
Papa was a rolling stone, (my son)
Where ever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone

[Chorus]

Hey Momma!
Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day, in his life
And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that Papa had three outside children
And another wife, and that ain't right
Heard them talking Papa doing some store front preachin'
Talked about saving souls and all the time reaching
Dealing in debt, and stealing in the name of the law
Momma just hung her head and said...

[Chorus 2x]

Hey Momma,
I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal
To pay his bills

Hey Momma,
Folks say Papa never was much on thinking
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking
Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth
Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son...

[Chorus 4x]

PLEASE COME OUT TONIGHT

PLEASE COME OUT TONIGHT


Please come out tonight I need you here
its been a long, long time and I can't wait
let's find out,, let's see what it's like out there
if it rains we'll find somewhere, somewhere dry and warm

You'll say "my, it's been a long, long time"
I'll say "how are you? I've been fine"
Please come out tonight, let's go out and see the world
we can try to find, find somewhere
it seems so long ago, I can hardly remember the time
it's all I want, it's all I want, so let's see what we find

You'll say "there's so much you need to know"
I'll say "are you really sure you have to go?"

We don't need a reason, no explanations
just stay with me here, tonight
I won't say a word
I just need you here

Please come out tonight, let's go out and find ourselves
you can lean your head on my shoulder, remember?

You'll say "My, is that the time?"
I'll say "why not stay with me tonight?"

We don't need a reason
it's so warm inside
there's no one between us
if someone comes we can hide
just lay here beside me
just see what it's like

Please come out tonight

RIVER SO WIDE

RIVER SO WIDE


If we can cross at the place that divides us,
Cross the river, the river so wide,
If we can smother the pain that's inside us,
Deny the demons that wait by our side,
We can find, find the light.

Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon.
We share the comfort of the same stars.
Our days are bright with the light of the same sun.
That don't matter. Can't you see what we are,
What we are, what we become?

Keep our sights on the way ahead.
Don't look back. It won't help us now.
The storm we left so far behind
Seems a dark memory that starts to fade,
But, until we see the light, we will not be safe.

We all sink or swim in the same ocean.
Break our skin and we will bleed.
Our minutes pass with the same motion.
We face the same danger. We share the same need.
Oh, we're all the same, you and me.

Keep our sights on the way ahead.
Don't look back. That won't help us now.
'Cause upstream, the river, it gets too wide,
So we must build that bridge right here,
'Cause if we wait, we will not reach the other side.

You see under that clear blue sky
The winds of change are blowing hard and long.
And they'll not stop to rest
'Cause the change is gonna come.

Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon.
We share the comfort of the same stars.
Our days are bright with the light of the same sun.
That don't matter. Can't you see what we are,
Oh, what we are, what we become?

Keep our sights on the way ahead.
Don't look back. That won't help us now.
'Cause upstream, the river, it gets too wide,
And if we don't build that bridge
Right here, right now,
You know we'll never ever reach the other side.

SEPARATE LIVES

SEPARATE LIVES


You called me from the room in your hotel
All full of romance for someone that you met
And telling me how sorry you were, leaving so soon
And that you miss me sometimes when you're alone in your room
Do I feel lonely too?

You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
We can't go on, holding on to time
So far now we're go on living separate lives

Well I held on to let you go
And if you lost your love for me, you never let it show
There was no way to compromise
So now we're living
(Now we're living)
Separate lives

Ooh, it's so typical, love leads to isolation
So you build that wall
(Build that wall)
Yes, you build that wall
(You build that wall)
And you make it stronger

No, you have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
Some day I might find myself looking in your eyes
(I just might)
But for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Yes for now, we'll go on living separate lives

Separate lives

SOME OF YOUR LOVIN'

SOME OF YOUR LOVIN'


You gotta give me some
Give me some of your lovin'
You gotta give me some of your lovin'

Now I'm not a greedy girl
I don't need the world
(Just give me some)
Some of your lovin' now, oh, oh, oh, oh

Now I don't expect you to guarantee
Your faith and devotion to only me
I'm aware you got a lot of wild oats to sow
But baby when I need you
Don't you tell me no

You gotta give me some
(Give me some of your lovin')
Oh yes you do now
You gotta give me some of your lovin'

Now I'm not a jealous child
My demands are mild
(Just give me some)
Some of your lovin' now, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I know a man likes to feel that he's been around
Before he decides to settle down
I've no doubt
Some day you're gonna feel that way too
But baby, just remember
(Until you do)

You gotta give me some
(Give me some of your lovin')
Oh yes you do now
I mean to tell you
(You gotta give me some)
Of your lovin'

Now I'm not a greedy girl
I don't need the world
(Just give me some)
Some of your lovin' now, oh oh, oh, oh

You gotta give me some, some of your lovin'
I mean to tell you
(You gotta give me some of your lovin')
Oh, don't forget about me now
I mean to tell you, oh
Ah, you gotta give me some of your lovin'
Some of your lovin'
