WHAT YOU WANT

WHAT YOU WANT


Your situation's in need of help
You're gettin' so you don't know yourself
You wear his ring like a cheap disguise
But I can see you got wandering eyes

Don't believe it's just the clothes that make the man
No one else can love you like I know I can

I got what you want
Take more than money to turn you on
I got what you need
C'mon baby take a chance on me, yeah

Somethin' 'bout your smile seems counterfeit
It ain't in you to be a hypocrite
So, he's got a mansion, got lots of cash
Live like a queen but feel like trash, yeah

I can save you if you put your heart in mine
Baby, can't you see we're two of the same kind
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Say, I got what you want
Take more than money to turn you on
I got what you need
C'mon baby take a chance on me

Baby, there ain't nothin' keeping chains on you
Don't you let your head make up your mind

I can't get you off my mind, I'm afraid I may go blind
Won't you let me take you for a ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I got what you want
Take more than money to turn you on
I got what you need
C'mon baby take a chance on me

I got what you want
Take more than diamonds to turn you on
I got what you need
C'mon baby take a chance on me

I got what you want, now baby, yeah, yeah

WHAT'S THE STORY

WHAT'S THE STORY


No needles, no rehab
No minors, no murder rap

Where's that leave a guy like me? Windy city square
If all that sells is tragedy, I haven't got a prayer
Should I try to lose it all, kick it off the track
Just to say I took the fall but look who's comin' back

What's the story? Where's the dirt?
Nobody's happy 'til somebody gets hurt
I don't want to keep up with all that
Garbage that you swallow gonna someday make you fat

Normal childhood, beautiful wife
'Xcuse me having a wonderful life

Why should I be hungry for someone else's pain?
Heroes should have something but talent for fame
Double barrel in the mouth, nails it every time
But that's what a legend's all about, ain't no bigger headline

What's the story? Where's the dirt?
Nobody's happy 'til somebody gets hurt
I don't want to keep up with all that
Garbage that you swallow gonna someday make you fat

Maybe I should frequent all the places I'm avoiding
Maybe you should work on building rather than destroying
If this is making friends, I'd rather be lonely

So where's that leave a guy like me? Windy city square
I may never make page three but ask me if I care

What's the story? Where's the dirt?
Nobody's happy 'til somebody gets hurt
I don't want to keep up with all that
Garbage that you swallow gonna someday make you fat

What's the story? Where's the dirt?
Nobody's happy 'til somebody gets hurt
I don't want to keep up with all that

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT


I may be rotten to the core and stop me if you think I am
A kid in a candy store, the same as any dirty old man
I know I'm not the first to see, I guarantee, I'm not the last
So take some good advice from me, just try it once before you ask

I hear an enticing voice
(Live it up, live it up, do it now, boy)
I don't like the other choice
(Live it up, live it up)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's wrong with that?
What's wrong with the fountain of youth?
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with a little self delusion?

Yeah, yeah, now who you think is foolin' who ?
And who will be the last to laugh?
Here's another lame excuse
You're old enough to be her dad

I heard all the reasons why
(Give it up, give it up, take a powder)
I, I turn them my blindest eye
(Give it up, give it up)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's wrong with that?
What's wrong with the fountain of youth?
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with a little self delusion?

What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with a flower in bloom?
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with a little self delusion?

Yeah, days don't hide secrets of the heart, only you and I do
Little white lies rip you right apart in anyway they want to
Life goes by, done before you start
I can't wait around to satisfy you, oh

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's wrong with that?
What's wrong with the fountain of youth?
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with a little self delusion?

What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with a flower in bloom?
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with a little self delusion?
(What's wrong?)

Won't you tell me what's wrong?
What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with that?
(What's wrong?)

Baby, what's wrong with that?
(What's wrong?)
What's wrong with that?

WHEN NOVEMBER FALLS

WHEN NOVEMBER FALLS


How did you arrive in the single moment
That I looked away
Your life waits for you
In every second
And every word you say

For all the memories remaining
I need to let you know

From the hardest times to the hills you climb
I?ll be your warmest summer
When your dreams run dry, I am on your
side
To pull you out from under
When all of your leaves are golden
Everyone?s arms are open, but I?ll be there
When November falls

I am with you when I hear you breathing
And when I?m far away
Surrender to your fears of falling
Cause I won?t let you go

Chorus

When your hopes have been gunned down
And when you get lost, I will find you
I?ll hear you calling out my name, oh

Chorus

WHEN YOU LOVED ME

WHEN YOU LOVED ME


I'm back at the corner
Where we said goodbye
I turn and I see you
but don't trust my eyes
You look at me
And I can't breathe

Had every word perfect
for when this day would come
But standing here now
I can't find even one
All I want to say...
Is written on my face

CHORUS:
I close my eyes every time I wake up
Cause every little thing makes me think of
When you loved me...
When you loved me
And I don't really want to talk about the weather
The truth is that I was better
When you loved me...
When you loved me

I'm sure that there's somewhere that you've got to go
But give me one more minute
One more memory to hold
And wherever you're goin' to...
Take this with you

CHORUS:
I close my eyes every time I wake up
Cause every little thing makes me think of
When you loved me...
When you loved me
And I don't really want to talk about the weather
The truth is that I was better
When you loved me...
When you loved me

I try to wish you away
You're gone today but
you'll be back tomorrow
This lie
that I call goodbye
won't let go
Won't let me go...

CHORUS:
I close my eyes every time I wake up
(Every time I wake up)
Cause every little thing makes me think of
When you loved me...
When you loved me
Oh, baby, when you loved me
And I don't really want to talk about the weather
The truth is
I'll never be better than
When you loved me...
When you loved me

I'm back at the corner
Where we said goodbye

WHEN YOU'RE GONE

WHEN YOU'RE GONE


Well look at me, the guy who's got it all
Tryin' to read my own writing on the wall
Not happy 'til the sadness comes to keep me company
Oh, but what becomes of fools who love like me

Who's gonna dry my tears, when I'm crying?
Who's gonna hold my hand, when I'm dying?
Who's gonna set me right when everything is wrong?
Who's gonna love me, when you're gone?

Sure as winter goes and comes around again
I will be my own undoing in the end
I'll find the answers I've been searching for in your goodbye kiss
'Cause I don't deserve you and you don't deserve this

Who's gonna dry my tears, when I'm crying?
And who's gonna hold my hand, when I'm dying?
Who's gonna set me right when everything is wrong?
Who's gonna love me, when you're gone?

Never happy 'til the darkness comes
And rains down on me
Down on me

And who's gonna dry my tears, when I'm crying?
And who's gonna hold my hand, when I'm dying?
Who's gonna set me right when everything is wrong?
Who's gonna love me, when you're gone?

Who's gonna love me, when you're gone?
Baby, when you're gone
Yeah, who's gonna love me, when you're gone?
Who's gonna love me, when you're gone?
Who's gonna love me?

WHOLE WORLD TO SAVE

WHOLE WORLD TO SAVE


Nowhere to hide, you can't escape the fun
No matter where you run, all that is gone with the times
And time will tell on you if you don't carry through
You've got your soul on the line

Long as you know
Which side the sun rises on everyone
Wherever you go, you'll understand
Holding the light in the center of your hand

There's a whole world to save, there's a whole world to save
You can start any place
There's a whole world to save, whole world
Not any reason to wait

You're alone, you and everything with a face
Why'd they call it human race? All in a world of our own
I think it's gone far enough, I say we call their bluff
Somebodys got to be strong

If you get one wild night in life
Oh, you'd better get it right
If it's the only life you get
What is it worth if it's you and nothing left

There's a whole world to save, there's a whole world to save
You can start any place
There's a whole world to save, whole world
Not any reason to wait

Making a difference, seeing what nobody sees
I wont wait for a deliverance 'cause I know its waiting for me

Long as you know
Which side the sun rises on everyone
Wherever you go, you'll understand
Holding the light in the center of your hand

There's a whole world to save, there's a whole world to save
You can start any place
There's a whole world to save, whole world

WILD HORSES

WILD HORSES


Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldnt drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldnt drag me down

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter and treat you unkind

YOU NEVER TAKE ME DANCING

YOU NEVER TAKE ME DANCING


The world's greatest mystery
Love between the woman and the man
Some guys are Romeos
Others simply do the best they can

I'm just your average
Ordinary Joe
Tryin' to learn things I never knew
I had to know

What's a man supposed to do?
I don't get no kick from nine to five
And I'm not a man who thinks it's true
It's a woman's place to keep a love alive

Watched enough daytime TV
To know my baby's needs
Sometimes I swear that
She's impossible to please

She says, give me all that I want of your money, baby
But you never take me dancing
You give me all that I want of your money, baby
But you never take me dancing

Really think I do a lot to show
How I feel about her in my way
Roses on our anniversary
Candlelight and me on her birthday

Just when I thought that
I had it all worked out
Now she says
I still don't know what it's all about

She says, give me all that I want of your money, baby
But you never take me dancing
You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, baby
But you never take me dancing

I'm just your average
Ordinary Joe
Tryin' to learn things I never knew
I had to know

Give me all that I want of your money, baby
But you never take me dancing
You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, baby
But you never take me dancing

She say, give me all that I want of your money, baby
But you never take me dancing
You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, baby
But you never take me dancing

Take me dancing

YOU'LL NEVER BE ALONE

YOU'LL NEVER BE ALONE


Though you're far away from home
Where the cold and lonely roam
Don't forget the setting sun shines on everyone
And you'll never be alone

You'd give everything you own
Saddle blanket, rope, and coat
To be sitting by your side right at Christmas time
And you'll never be alone

Riding life for months on end
Is sure to set you thinking too much
Been so long I can't remember when
The last time I felt your touch

Though you're aching to the bone
She loves you more than you will know
Tell the trail to go to hell, just sing a Noel
And you'll never be alone, woah

Yeah
Riding life for months on end
Is sure to set you thinking too much
It's been so long I can't remember when
The last time I felt your touch

Though you're far away from home
Where the cold and lonely roam
Don't forget the setting sun shines on everyone
And you'll never be alone

I'll be sitting by your side right at Christmas time
