Kenny Rogers - Through The Years (Box Set) (1999) by Kenny Rogers (보컬) on maniadb.com

If you never rode West of the Arizona border
You can turn the other way boy but you never get far
You be living a lie if you wanna see the wonders of the age
You must follow the evening star.

Evening star
Shine a little Heaven
On a stranger with no dream
Where you are.

You can see the loneliness I mean and if I gotta fight
I can never play somebody else's game
I can follow the evening star
Starlight, you never need somebody else's name
If you follow the evening star.

Have you ever known a sunset when the sky's on fire
How you end another day boy you've been searching too far
Like the desert I rode on any memory is lost in the restless wind
I just lie beneath the evening star.

Evening star
Shine a little Heaven
On a stranger with no dream
Where you are.

Have you ever held a woman in the California moonlight
Put your money on a good night if you never been there
It's a sight for sore eyes if you wanna see the wonders of the age
Making love beneath the evening star.

Evening star
Shine a little Heaven
on a stranger with no dream
Where you are.

You can see the loneliness I mean and if I gotta fight
I will never play somebody else's game
I can follow the evening star
Starlight, you never need somebody else's name
If you follow the evening star...

And he'll tell her he's working late again
But she knows too well there's something going on
She's been neglected, and she needs a friend
So her trembling fingers dial the telephone

Lord, it hurts her doing this again
He's the best friend that her husband ever knew
When she's lonely, he's more than just a friend
He's the one she longs to give her body to

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
Hoping no one else discovers
Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
They don't want to hurt the others
So they love in the nighttime
And shake hands in the light of day

When it's over, there's no peace of mind
Just a longing for the way things should have been
And she wonders why some men never find
That a woman needs a lover and a friend

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
Hoping no one else discovers
Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
They don't want to hurt the others
So they love in the nighttime
And shake hands in the light of day

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
Hoping no one else discovers
Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
They don't want to hurt the others
So they love in the nighttime
And shake hands in the light of day

Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
Hoping no one else discovers
Where they go, what they do, in their secret hideaway
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers
They don't want to hurt the others
So they love in the nighttime
And shake hands in the light of day

That crazy feeling

It's not just the way you say hello whenever we should meet
That keeps my heart pounding like the ocean of the deep
But it's got my heart a reeling, oh yes, I've got that crazy feeling.

It's not just the way you kiss me with that twinkle in your eye
That makes me want to love you and never say goodbye
But to me it's appealing, oh yes, I've got that crazy feeling.

Who can explain that the way you look on my life
That makes me think about you all the time
Oh, who can explain that just what makes me know
Darling, I want you to have love and to hold.

Though it's not just the way you comfort me when I feel blue and low
That makes me want to love you and never let you go
But it's got my heart a reeling, oh yes, I've got that crazy feeling,
Oh yes, I've got that crazy feeling ...

Show me a bar with a good lookin woman
then just get out of my way
show me the jukebox, i'll tell you a song you should play
sooner a later a few shots of bourbon
and i'll think of somethin to say
whoa, I can take her or leave her
but I like to take her away

Liquor and music, a good combination
if you've got love on the brain
I never knew two women who acted the same
some want a drink first
and some want to just sit and talk
whoa, oh, it's two in the morning
I'm running and she wants to walk

Something's got a hold on me
it's cheap but it ain' free
love or somethin like it's got a hold on me

That's when I asked her
my place or your place
I hope I'm not out of line
I asked the wrong thing
but just the right woman this time
cause she knew a hotel
she even had a name we could sign
whoa, oh, the cheaper the grapes are
the sweeter the taste of the wine

Something's got a hold on me
it's cheap but it ain' free
love or somethin like it's got a hold on me

Something's got a hold on me
it's cheap but it ain't free
love or somethin like it's got a hold on me
love or somethin damn near like it's got a hold on me

Take a gun out of the closet, put it on next while aboard it
Come stand in front of me and let me see
Take a one smile that you wear
And place it on these lips that's burning
To share this fire you've built inside of me.

Turn the light down in the bedroom,
Put the sheet down from the pillow
When we're like this love's easy understood
Let's walk through this house we live in
To the room we always love it
And let's love each other while the feeling's good.

With all my will I promise, with all of me I love you
This feeling that I got just grows and grows
I can't stop disapponting you, I ccan't stop my need in you
No more than I can stop the wind that blows.

About to hold your sweet loving
As long as we both have this feeling
I love you every way
I know that's good.

Let's walk through this house we live in
To the room we always love it
And let's love each other while the feeling's good...

I wouldn't listen, and I couldn't see,
And all I have left now,
Are words you said to me

Sing me a song sweet music man,
'Cause I won't be there to hold your hand
Like I used to,
I'm through with you
You're a helluva singer
And a powerful man but you surround yourself
With people who demand so little of you
You touched my soul with your beautiful song
You even had me singing along right with you
You said "I need you"
Then you changed the words and that harmony
And you sang that song you'd written for me
To someone new

But nobody sings a love song quite like you do,
And nobody else can make me sing along,
And nobody else can make me feel
That things are right when you know they're wrong,
Nobody sings a love song quite like you.

Sing me a song sweet music man,
Your making a living doing one night stands
that do for you what you need them to
Your still a hell of a singer but a broken man
And you surround yourself with people who demand
So little of you

But nobody sings a love song quite like you do,
You travel the world with a six piece band
That does for you what you ask 'em to
And you try to stay up with the songs you sung
To so many people that all begun to come
back on you

Sing me a song sad music man
You're making your living doing one night
stands that's do with you they
don't need you, you're still a helluva singer
but a broken man but you keep on looking for
one last band to sing with you

But nobody sings a love song quite like you do,
And nobody else can make me sing along,
And nobody else can make me feel
That things are right when you're wrong with a song,
Nobody sings a love song quite like you.

So sing me a song sweet music man,
I believe in you

Love is what we make it

Girl, we've come a long, long way
Too far for us to end this way
Sometimes the cost of love is hard
And we must pay this little give-and-take

So don't you think if you and I
Were just about and let our hearts decide
Maybe it would all work out in time
So won't you stay, please don't go away.

Love, love is what we make it
We can make it so much better if we try
Love, love is what we make it
So let's make it real good this time.

Is it too late to change your mind?
Or has it gone to fall this time
Won't you hold me just one more time
Let's just say: “there's a chance for you and me??.

Love, love is what we make it …

When you made love to me tonight
I felt as if I'd died and gone to heaven
And if that's how it feels to die
Then lay me in your arms, I'm through with livin'

I'll get down on my knees
And thank the good Lord up above
That I'm the lucky girl you chose to love

And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight
So if you think I'm braggin' well, you're right
Your love has sent me flyin' and I'm higher than a kite
And I feel sorry for anyone that isn't me tonight

You got the kind of body
That was made to give a man a lot of pleasure
But what you're giving me tonight
Is more than anything on earth can measure

Every inch of you that's woman
Makes me that much more a man
I've just about enjoyed all I can stand

I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight
So if you think I'm braggin' well, you're right
Your love has sent me flyin' and I'm higher than a kite
And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight

And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight
So if you think I'm braggin' well, you're right
Your love has sent me flyin' and I'm higher than a kite
And I feel sorry for anyone who isn't me tonight

It's been a long time since I walked
Through this old town
But oh how the memories start to flow
And there's the old movie house
They finally closed it down
You could find me there every Friday night
Twenty years ago.

I worked the counter at the drugstore down the street
But nobody's left there I would know
On Saturday mornings that's where
All my friends would meet
You'd be surprised to know what a dime would buy
Twenty years ago.

All my memories from those days come gather round me
What I'd give if they could take me back in time
It almost seems like yesterday
Where do the good times go?
Life was so much easier twenty years ago.

I guess I should stop by Mr. Johnson's hardware store
His only son was my friend Joe
But he joined the army back in 1964
How could we know he would never come back
Twenty years ago...

For you alone

For you alone, I'd conquer world
I'd do most anything for you alone
For you alone, I'd give everything
I'd say the sweetest thing for you alone.

The things I can do I've been thinking of
That I should have done alone
Yet all these things I've been thinking of
Are no good to do alone.

For you alone, Ooh I'd write a song
Using these words alone for you alone.
The things ....

You want things your way
And I want them mine
And now we don't know
Just where to draw the line
How long can love survive
If we keep choosing sides
And who picks up the pieces
Every time two fools collide

You lay the blame on me
And I, the blame on you
But why do we keep finding faults
In everything we do
And how long can we keep right and wrongs
So cut and dry
And who picks up the pieces
Every time two fools collide

We can save our love
We still have the time
Oh, I know there must be a way
But we still haven't tried
To keep our hearts from breaking
Every time two fools collide

Kenny Rogers & Dottie West

I'll need time to get you off my mind
I may sometimes bother you, try to be in touch with you
Even ask too much of you, from time to time
Now and then, Lord, you know I'll need a friend
And 'till I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you,
'Til I can make it on my own.

I'll get by, but no matter how I try
There'll be times that you'll know I'll call
Chances are my tears will fall
And I'll have no pride at all, from time to time
But they say, oh, there'll be a brighter day
But 'til then I lean on you, that's all I mean to do,
'Til I can make it on my own.

Surely someday I'll look up and see the morning sun
Without another lonely night behind me
Then I'll know I'm over you and all my cryin's done
No more hurtin' memories can find me.

But 'til then, Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend
'Til I get used to losing you, let me keep on using you
'Til I can make it on my own...

They don't make 'em like they used to, those guys
And I can't get used to the way that it is today
No one to look up to, hard times, and though I try
I just can't find the reason these days
And it seems like the seasons are passing me
They're going by, nothing to hold on to, rough times.

And it goes on, so count on me, and I'll count on you
You can lean on me, two of us stronger
We won't be alone any longer
Now and for always we will be good friends
Count on me, into any storm, we're gonna survive it
Into any fire, we'll carry on.

Know that one day you and me will both be old friends
And we'll sit on the sofa and talk about how
They don't make 'em like they used to, you'll see
As time goes on, so count on me, and I'll count on you
In a world like this, when nothing's sure
And people are afraid, I'll be here for '
Now and for always we will be good friends
Count on me, they don't make it now like they used to
They're not gonna last like you and me, I'll be there.

Oh, always we will be, year by year
Depend on me, into any storm, we're gonna survive it
Into any fire, just count on me, I'll be there
Oh, tough guys, you and me, year by year
They will see, they don't make it now like they used to
They're not gonna last like you and me...

While she lays sleeping, I stay out late at night and play my songs
And sometimes all the nights can be so long
And it's good when I finally make it home, all alone
While she lays dreaming, I try to get undressed without the light
And quietly she says how was your night?
And I come to her and say, it was all right, and I hold her tight

And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me
I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world
With my little songs, I was wrong
But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully
And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right
I will find a way, find a way...

While she lays waiting, I stumble to the kitchen for a bite
Then I see my old guitar in the night
Just waiting for me like a secret friend, and there's no end
While she lays crying, I fumble with a melody or two
And I'm torn between the things that I should do
And she says to wake her up when I am through,
God her love is true...

And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me
I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world
With my little songs, I was wrong
But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully
And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right
I will find a way, while she waits... while she waits for me for me!

Just look at you sitting there
You never looked better than tonight
And it would be so easy to tell you I'd stay
Like I've done so many times

I was so sure that this would be the night
You'd close the door and wanna stay with me
And it'd be so easy to tell you I'd wait
Like I've done so many times

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't you fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll break you every time
Put out the light and just hold on
Before we say goodbye

Now it's morning, the phone rings
And you say you've gotta get your things together
You just gotta leave before you change your mind
And if you knew what I was thinking girl
I'd turn around if you'd just ask me one more time

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll break you every time
Put out the light and just hold on
Before we say goodbye

Before we said goodbye

Goodbye

All my life was a paper once plain, pure and white
Till you moved with your pen changing moods now and then
Till the balance was right
Then you added some music, every note was in place
And anybody could see all the changes in me by the look on my face

And you decorated my life, created a world where dreams are a part
And you decorated my life by painting your love all over my heart
You decorated my life

Like a rhyme with no reason in an unfinished song
There was no harmony life meant nothin' to me, until you came along
And you brought out the colors, what a gentle surprise
Now I'm able to see all the things life can be shining soft in your eyes

And you decorated my life, created a world where dreams are a part
And you decorated my life by painting your love all over my heart
You decorated my life

Every now and then when the world steps in
Stealin' all our time away
It soon takes so much, we forget to touch
That's when I know it's time for me to say

Take my hand let's walk through loves door
And be free from the world once more
Here's my arms, we can hide today
And love the world away

Once again we'll be where our hearts are free
And the time is ours to share
Love will always stay just a touch away
Come with me all the magic's waiting there

Take my hand let's walk through loves door
And be free from the world once more
Here's my arms, we can hide today
And love the world away

We can love the world away

Goodbye Marie

I woke up this mornin'
All cotton- mouthed from drinkin'
Wonderin' how I'd make it through the day
Wild eyed and crazy
All burned out from thinkin'
Wonderin' how the hell I's gonna say.

Goodbye Marie, oh goodbye Marie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' me
It was fun Marie, but I got to run Marie
If I can not keep your love
At least I'll have your memory
Goodbye Marie.

Wakin' up beside you
On a Tijuana mornin'
With that ocean breeze to keep us cool
Three weeks of lovin'
Twenty-one nights of heaven
I stayed just long enough to be your fool.

Oh goodbye Marie, …
Por favor, pour me
One more tequila
I need all the courage I can find
This time tomorrow
I'll be back in Houston
Thinkin' about the girl I left behind.

So goodbye Marie, ….

Evryone considered him the coward of the county.
Hed never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.
His mama named him tommy, the folks just called him yellow,
But something always told me they were reading tommy wrong.

He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison.
I looked after tommy cause he was my brothers son.
I still recall the final words my brother said to tommy:
Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun.

Promise me, son, not to do the things Ive done.
Walk away from trouble if you can.
It wont mean youre weak if you turn the other cheek.
I hope youre old enough to understand:
Son, you dont have to fight to be a man.

Theres someone for evryone and tommys love was becky.
In her arms he didnt have to prove he was a man.
One day while he was workin the gatlin boys came callin.
They took turns at becky.... there was three of them!

Tommy opened up the door and saw his becky cryin.
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand.
He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddys picture.
As his tears fell on his daddys face, he heard these words again:

Promise me, son, not to do the things Ive done.
Walk away from trouble if you can.
It wont mean youre weak if you turn the other cheek.
I hope youre old enough to understand:
Son, you dont have to fight to be a man.

The gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom.
One of them got up and met him halfway cross the floor.
When tommy turned around they said, hey look! ol yellows leavin.
But you coulda heard a pin drop when tommy stopped and blocked the door.

Twenty years of crawlin was bottled up inside him.
He wasnt holdin nothin back; he let em have it all.
When tommy left the barroom not a gatlin boy was standin.
He said, this ones for becky, as he watched the last one fall.
And I heard him say,

I promised you, dad, not to do the things you done.
I walk away from trouble when I can.
Now please dont think Im weak, I didnt turn the other cheek,
And papa, I sure hope you understand:
Sometimes you gotta fight when youre a man.

Evryone considered him the coward of the county.

It's an ill wind that blows no good
And it's a sad heart that won't love like it should
Oh, how lonesome you must be, and it's a shame
If you don't share your love with me.

It's a heartache when love is gone
And it can get even worse if it keeps on
Blinder than he who won't see, and it's a shame
If you don't share your love with me.

I can't help it if she is gone
You must try to forget, you must live on
It's a good thing to love someone
But it's bad and even sad when it's not returned.

Oh, how lonesome you must be and it's a shame
If you don't share your love with me
And I said it's a shame
If you don't share your love with me...

I Prefer the Moonlight


When temptin' eyes 'cross the room
Said to me I'd love to be with you
I'm not tempted for a moment
I just think about my woman
My baby calls me on the phone
Telling me I need to hurry home
Well the hurryin' is easy
'Cause she's waiting up
With all the love I'm needin'

I prefer the moonlight, and a blanket
And the one right little lady by my side
That's what I like
I prefer a late drive down the turnpike
With the moonlight shinin' so bright
Got her by my side
That's what I'd like
When its magic moment time,
I prefer the moonlight

The river plays a quiet song
She and I lay down and play along
She's her mother's lovely daughter
Moonlight dances on the water
The moon is full and so am I
I look at her and feel like I could cry
But my tears contain no sorrow
'Cause I know she'll wake up by my side tomorrow

I prefer...

Mornin' noon and night,
When the feelin' comes around
Somewhere in some sky
That ol' moon is surely shinin' bright

I prefer...

Sometimes when I'm down and alone
I feel just like a child with out a home
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on, honey
All I ever need is you.

Your my first love, your my last
Your my future, your my past
Ohhh loving you is all I ask, honey
All I ever need is you.

Winters come and then they go
And we watch the melting snow
Sure summer follows spring, all the things you do
Give me a reason to build my world around you.

(World around you)

Some men follow rainbows I am told
Some men search for silver, some for gold
But I found my treasures in my soul
And all I ever need is you.

Without love I'd never find the way
Through ups and downs of every single day
And I won't sleep at night until you say
Honey, all I ever need is you.

La, La, La, La, La, La
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on
Honey, all I'll ever need is you.

La, La, La, La, La, La
But I found my treasures in my soul
Honey, and all I ever need is you.

La, La, La, La, La, La...

Let's go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heros in a story
Let's go out like we came in
In a blaze of glory

Here we are broken-hearted
We thought our love would never end
We fell hard when we got started
Fallin' out like we fell in

Let's go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heros in a story
Let's go out like we came in
In a blaze of glory

Let's gonna hurt each other


That would be a worse mistake
Once again let's act like lovers
One more time for old-time's sake

Let's go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heros in a story
let's go out like we came in
in a blaze of glory

let's go out (let's go out)
in a blaze of glory (in a blaze of glory)
all good things must end
like two heros (ah?) in a story (in a story?.)
let's go out (let's go out) like we came in (like we came in)
in a blaze of glory?

Lady...
I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you.
You have made me what I am and I am yours.
My love...
There's so many ways I want to say, "I love you."
Let me hold you in my arms forever more.

You have gone and made me such a fool.
I'm so lost in your love.
And oh, we belong together.
Won't you believe in my song?
Lady...
For so many years, I thought I'd never find you.
You have come into my life and made me whole.
Forever, let me wake to see you each and every morning.
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear.
In my eyes, I see no one else but you.
There's no other love like our love
And yes, oh yes I'll always want you near me.
I've waited for you for so long.
Lady...
Your love's the only love I need.
and Beside me is where I want you to be.
Cause my love there's something I want you to know.
You're the love of my life. You're my lady...

I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you
I swear we've been through everything there is
Can't imagine anything we've missed
Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do

Through the years, you've never let me down
You turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found
I've found with you ... through the years
I've never been afraid, I've loved the life we've made
And I'm so glad I've stayed, right here with you
Through the years

I can't remember what I used to do
Who I trusted, whom I listened to before
I swear you've taught me everything I know
Can't imagine needing someone so
But through the years it seems to me
I need you more and more

Through the years, through all the good and bad
I knew how much we had, I've always been so glad
To be with you ... through the years
It's better every day, you've kissed my tears away
As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you
Through the years

Through the years, when everything went wrong
Together we were strong, I know that I belonged
Right here with you ... through the years
I never had a doubt, we'd always work things out
I've learned what love's about, by loving you
Through the years

Through the years, you've never let me down
You've turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found
I've found with you ... through the years
It's better everyday, you've kissed my tears away
As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you
Through the years!

We knew it was one in a million
It was such a long shot
Somehow we've got here together
And who knows what will happen
Anything can happen
If we keep getting better
And we keep on believing.

When you put your heart in it
It can take you anywhere
Who's to say that we can't make it
It's the same dream that we share
When you put your heart in it
It can take you anywhere.

This road was so long and winding
It was such a hard road
But we can't stop once we had started
We were always getting closer
Suddenly it happens
A chance in a lifetime
Now we're gonna take it
We can make it.

When you put your heart in it
It can take you anywhere
Who's to say that we can't make it
It's the same dream that we share
When you put your heart in it
It can take you anywhere...

We're like summer and winter
We're not one bit alike
We're like satin and cinders
I'm definitely not your type

Well, then what are we doin' in love?
What are we doin' in a mess like this?
What are we doin' in love?
Why were you someone I couldn't resist?
What are we doin' in love?

We're like paper and matches
We'll probably have our share of fights
We're like roses and switches
It's gonna be hard but we've got to try

So what are we doin' in love?
What are we doin' in a mess like this?
What are we doin' in love?
And what are we gonna tell all our friends?

You don't have to like someone
To love someone
That rule was made to be broken
But if we have to say goodbye
To a life we've gotten used to
What are we doin' in love then?

We're like sunup and sundown
People say we're never going to last
Like uptown and downtown
You like it slow but I like it fast

What are we doin' in love?
What are we doin' in a mess like this?
What are we doin' in love?
What are we gonna tell all our friends?

What are we doin' in love?
What are we doin' in a mess like this?
What are we doin' in love?
You were just someone I couldn't resist

So that's what we're doin' in love

Why do people cry when
They hear the word goodbye
In a love song

Tears are sure to fall
When you know they gave it all
In a love song

Somehow two lovers get a
Chance at a beautiful romance
And you wish it could be you

'Cause everybody's needing
What the singers all are
Singing in a love song

It can tear you apart
'Cause a word can break
A heart in a love song

They say all the things you feel
And they make it sound
So real in a love song

It seems that everything they say
Is said in such a way
That we believe it's true

'Cause everybody's needing
What the singers all are
Singing in a love song

Each of us know there's no
Guarantee we'll ever find love
And in the songs that we share
The heartache is there to remind us

New love brings a thrill
And we know it always will
In a love song

Happiness can leave
But it helps if we believe
In a love song

There's a part of you and me
In every memory
That tells us who we are

'Cause everybody's needing
What the singers all are
Singing in a love song

'Cause everybody's needing
What the singers all are
Singing in a love song

(John Andrew Parks)

They rode like they was Rangers
When they came out of the skies
They had high-tech horses
With beacons in their eyes

My gun was cocked and ready
When I looked into their face
I seen they weren't just common buckaroos
Born of the human race
No, sir, these cowboys came from space

Their shootin' irons shot laser light
And their spurs was anodized
Bandannas caked with stardust
And their jeans was pressurized

Well, he handed me a halter
And said, "Tighten up the girth"
But before I hit the saddle
We were miles above the Earth
And I mean miles above the Earth

Yippie-aye-ay-e

I seen London, Paris
Budapest, Kashmir and Tokyo
And there ain't no sight
Like a desert night looking down on Mexico

Through the moons of Mars and Jupiter
'Round Saturn's rings we rode
Past the frozen plains of Pluto
Where even the sunshine's cold
Man, I do mean cold

Then our interstellar stallions
Sailed through the starless void
There was nothing to miss in that emptiness
Not even a stray asteroid

'Til we picked up the trail of a comet's tail
Man, you can't even dream that far
And the gallopin' beat
Like the rhythm of an old catgut guitar
Just a-strummin' from the distant star

Yippie-aye-ay-e

Well, it could've lasted minutes
Or a hundred thousand years
But they got me down
I was safe and sound
And it hadn't even popped my ears

And they rared back on their broncos
And they shot a bolt of light
I knew they were the good guys
Yes sir, you got it right
'Cause their cowboy hats was white

So ask 'em as they pulled their reins
Towards the settin' sun
"Before you go, I'd like to know
Just where you boys come from?"

Well, they opened up a star chart and said
"Right here where this 'X' is
It's the biggest place in outer space
A planet known as Texas."

Yippie-aye-ay-e
Yippie-aye-ay-e
Yippie-aye-ay-e
Yippie-aye-ay-e

I don't need you
I don't need friendship
I don't need flowers in the spring
I don't need you
And you surely don't need me

I don't need love and affection
I don't peace and harmony
I don't need you
And you surely don't need me

But we both want it bad enough
Yes, we both want it, don't we?
I don't need you baby
And I know you don't need me

I don't need your loving arms around me
All I need is to be free
That's what I keep telling myself
And I tell you, you don't need me

I don't need children in my old age
No more cluttered leaves around the tree
And I don't need you baby
And I know you don't need me

But we both want it bad enough
Yes, we both want it, don't we?
I don't need you baby
And I know you don't need me

And we don't need each other, baby
We don't need each other, baby
Or do we?

Are you sure I haven't loved you somewhere before
In another time, another place, on some distant shore?

You know me so well, better than I know myself.
And you'll love me tonight
Like you've loved me all my life, all my life
And with the touch of your hand
You took me farther than I've never been
You'll love me like, you've loved me all my life.

Love like we made could have taken a lifetime to find
But you found the way to my heart in a moment of time
You know how to care just like you've always been there.
And you'll love me tonight
Like you've loved me all my life, all my life...

You, I know you're everything
That I've been looking for
And I, I look into your eyes
And could not ask for more
So it's only fair to lay it on the line
Hold on, I'm gonna need a little time.

But if I ever fall in love again
Sometimes when this broken heart can mend
I know it's gonna be with you
You're the one to pull me through
Though I don't know when
If I ever fall in love again.

Scared, I guess I'm scared to fly
It's such a long way down
And yet, if you'd just trust in me
I'm sure, I'd come around
And I know when you're hurt
It's hard to let someone inside
In your arms I feel I'm ready now to try.

So if I ever fall in love again
Sometimes when this broken heart can mend
I know it's gonna be with you
You're the one to pull me through
Though I don't know when
If I ever fall in love again.

I'd be a fool to ever let you go
You're the best thing in my life

(Rap)
And feels like there's never end
How to say that this was a memory
Under your love, under your world
Blow your lips, every kiss
You and I, here we go around

I know it's gonna be with you
You're the one to pull me through
Though I don't know when
If I ever fall in love again
If I ever fall in love again...

You can run, you can hide, never let it inside
keep livin your life in the dark
Sooner or later, that gentle persuader
is gonna catch up with your heart

Make you a dreamer, beliver, believin in love

Right when a man's, doin all that he planned
and he thinks he's got just what he needs
Life will deliver, a shot that will shiver him
drivin him down to his knees

Make him start giving, living, livin again

Well it's your mind, that tricks you in believin everytime
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Well it's your heart, that talks you into stayin where you are
Love will turn you around, turn you around

Out of the blue, she reaches for you,
and you tell her you don't have the time
So you move away fast, but you know it won't last
cause you can't get her off of your mind

Toughts are burnin, turnin, they're turnin around

How do you know, when to stay or to go
and how do you know when it's real
You don't need a sign, to make up your mind
you got your heart at the wheel

You wanna start sharin, carin, carin again

Well it's your mind, that tricks you in believin everytime
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Well it's your heart, that talks you into stayin where you are
Love will turn you around, turn you around

Love will turn you around, turn you around
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Turn you around

I stood outside the Lucky Star
Staring at the flashing sign
It read: come on in and watch young
Scarlet's body come alive
Let her dance for you and cast her spell
You'll swear you can believe her
Be careful not to catch the scarlet fever.

So I paid my fare and walked down front
And found an empty chair
As I settled in young scarlet took the ribbons from her hair
The moves her body made while the music played
Were the likes I've never seen
And she became the envy of my dreams.

One by one her teasing movements
Brought the crowd out of their seats
And all at once young scarlet
Danced straight up in front of me
From the moment that her eyes found mine
I've never been the same
Scarlet locked another heart upon her chain.

Now I get scarlet fever every time I see her
But she's a night club teaser
Not paid to notice me
Yes, I get scarlet fever
If she knew how much I need her
She'd place her hand in my hand
And dance away with me.

She looked 25 but I was told
That she was just 16
She had a way of making a man believe
She danced for only him
As she tantalized I fantasized
And felt the sound of my heart beat
And every night I'd dream
She'd fall in love with me.

Then one night while driving in
My eyes begun to tear
'Cause the sign outside the Lucky Star
Said: scarlet isn't here
She'd left that day to find a life
Of bigger and better things
And she left behind my chain of broken dreams.

But still get scarlet fever
In my mind I still see her
Out there dancing somewhere
To another fool like me.
Yes, I get scarlet fever every time I see her
But she's a night club teaser
Not paid to notice me
Yes, I get scarlet fever
If she knew how much I need her
She'd place her hand in my hand
And dance away with me...

He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
A three car garage, her own credit cards
He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss good night
If he could only read her mind, she'd say:

Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life.

Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone
And she can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong
'Cause lately she'd try anything to turn his head
Would it make a difference if she said:

Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life.

And the more that he lives the less that he tries
To show her the love that he hold inside
And the more that she gives the more that he sees
This is a story of you and me.

So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
Opened the door to a heart that I hurt
And I hope you notice this look in my eyes
'Cause I'm gonna make things right.

I'm gonna hold you tonight
Do all those little things
For the rest of your life...

If I closed my eyes it didn't hurt quite so bad
'Cause tonight I've just lost the best friend I've ever had
You were a maverick running all away from New Orleans
We'd tell stories 'round the campfire late at night
When it was down to just you and me.

Good friend, why did you have to go?
Just when I was getting to know you
I'll sing this song to show
You were a good friend
They don't make 'em quite like you
And in my memory
You'll always be a good good friend to me.

You said I got a home, boy
Haven't seen it for so long
Said I'm going home, boy
My work is done
I can feel it in my bones.

Good friend, why did you have to go?
Just when I was getting to know you
I'll sing this song to show
You were a good friend
They don't make 'em quite like you
And in my memory
You'll always be a good good friend to me...

MAYBE

Maybe, is a word that hangs between us
It's the thing to say when all else has failed
Maybe we failed, maybe
Maybe, but I can't bare say it's over
Til the love we found is hopelessly lost
Maybe I could, maybe not.

Our lives might have come unwound
But have we've come so far
That we can't turn the hurt around
Our hearts still remain the same
Oh, first to wonder why
Oh, ask to make a change.

But maybe
Maybe, if we hold on to tomorrow
Just hold on, just hold on
Then we just might find a feeling again
Not let it end.

Maybe, it's a word that hangs between us
Maybe, time would help the wondering to stop
Maybe we will know, maybe not
Maybe, maybe.

You've painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating
Going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall
Tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town

It wasn't me
That started that crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go
And do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that
I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, Ruby I still need some company


It's hard to love a man
Whose legs are bent and paralyzed
That my wants and needs of a woman of your age
Ruby, I realized
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town

She's leaving now cause
I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it
Some 100 times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun
And put her in the ground
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town
Oh Ruby for God's sake turn around

[Kenny Rogers]
Baby when I met you, there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine toothed comb
I was soft inside, there was something going on

[Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
You do something to me, that I can't explain
Hold me closer, and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart, we got something goin' on

[Kenny Rogers]
Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication

[Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
Honest love, we feel, needs no conversation
And we ride it together, uh huh
Making love with each other, uh huh

Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between, how can we be wrong
Sail away with me, to another world
And we rely on each other, uh huh
From one lover to another, uh huh

[Dolly Parton]
I can't live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothin' if you got no one
And you just walk in the the night
Slowly losing sight of the real thing

[Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
But that won't happen to us, and we got no doubt
Too deep in love, and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing

[Dolly Parton]
No more will you cry
Baby I will hurt you never

[Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
We start and end as one
In love forever
We can ride it together, uh huh
Makin' love with each other, uh huh

Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between, how can we be wrong
Sail away with me, to another world
And we rely on each other, uh huh
From one lover to another, uh huh

[Kenny Rogers]
(Sail away)

[Dolly Parton]
(Ohhh, sail away with me)

[Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between, how can we be wrong
Sail away with me, to another world
And we rely on each other, uh huh
From one lover to another, uh huh

Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between, how can we be wrong
Sail away with me, to another world
And we rely on each other, uh huh
From one lover to another, uh huh

Now if the aim in your life is to settle me down
I couldn't change my point of view
I got a lady in red at the back of my head
But the woman in white is you.

Do you wanna be the only one,
Fade away in the mornin' sun
I could love you all of my life, you are my wife,
Haven't I let you know.

We don't need no buried treasure,
No buried treasure, we don't need it
We don't stand on ceremony
But life is phony in spite of it.

You can never be all you wanna be
When you're searchin' for gold
We don't need no buried treasure,
I've still got you (still got you, still got you)
I've still got you in my soul.

Well, it's a long way down and you gotta get up,
You gotta figure on a master plan
You couldn't do it, if you don't get ready,
You'll be beaten by the other man.

Do you wanna be the last one in,
Play the game that you just don't win
I can see me makin' you cry, sayin' goodbye,
But I could never let you go.

We don't need no buried treasure,
No buried treasure, we don't need it
We don't stand on ceremony
But life is phony in spite of it.

You can never be all you wanna be
When you're searchin' for gold
We don't need no buried treasure,
I've still got you (still got you, still got you)
I've still got you in my soul.

Well, you're takin' my life in the palm of your hand,
Make you mine for another day
Ain't nobody doesn't need anybody
When the good times turn away.

I don't wanna be the lonely one,
Fade away in the evenin' sun
I could love you all of my life,
You are my wife, haven't I told you so.

We don't need no buried treasure,
No buried treasure, we don't need it
(Baby we don't need it)
We don't stand on ceremony
But life is phony in spite of it. (In spite of it.)

You can never be all you wanna be
When you're searchin' for gold
We don't need no buried treasure,
I've still got you (still got you, still got you)
I've still got you in my soul.

We don't need it, we don't need it

(We don't need no buried treasure)
We don't need no buried treasure, we don't need it
(Baby we don't need it)
We don't stand on ceremony
But life is phony in spite of it.

(We don't stand on ceremony in spite of it)
You can never be all you wanna be
When you're searchin' for gold
(We don't need no buried treasure)
We don't need no buried treasure
I've still got you (still got you)
I've still got you in my soul.

We don't need it, we don't need it
(We don't need no buried treasure)
We don't need no buried treasure, we don't need it
(Baby we don't need it)
We don't stand on ceremony but life...

Love is strange
Lots of people take it for a game
Once you get it you never want to quit
After you've had it
You say love, love is strange
Is better than a kiss
When you leave me
Sweet kisses are a miss.

Hey, you sexy thing
How do call your love girl?
I say love girl
And if she doesn't answer
I say you'd better come here love girl
And if she still doesn't answer
Well then it is
Baby love is strange, baby, baby
You are the one.

Tell me something
How do you call your love boy?
I say come here love boy
Oh, but if he doesn't answer
I say, Ah come here love boy
But what if he still doesn't answer
I simply say, Baby, oh my baby
Come here like that
You're the one.

What do you call your love girl, my sweet baby
How do you call your lover boy
You know all sorts of ways
Baby, my sweet baby
Oh my baby, you are the one...

Reuben James, in my song you live again
And the phrases that I rhyme are just a footstep out of time
From the time when I knew you, Reuben James

Reuben James, all the folks around Hadison County
Cussed your name
You're just a no-count, sharecropping colored man
You'd steal anything you can
And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James

Reuben James, for you still walk over fields of my mind
Faded shirt, weathered brow, caloused hands upon the plow
Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James

For a grave, the gossiper of Hadison County died with chid
Although your skin was black
You were the one that didn't turn your back
On the hungry white child with no name, Reuben James

Reuben James, with your mind on the soul
And a bottle in your right hand
You said turn the other cheek
For there's a better world awaiting for the meek
In my mind, these words remain from Reuben James

Reuben James, for you still walk over fields of my mind
Faded shirt, weathered brow, caloused hands upon the plow
Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James

Reuben James, one dark cloudy day
They brought you from the field
And to your lonely pine box
Came just a preacher, me and the rain
Just to sing one last refrain to Reuben James

Reuben James, for you still walk over fields of my mind
Faded shirt, weathered brow, caloused hands upon the plow
Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James

Reuben James, for you still walk over fields of my mind
Faded shirt, weathered brow, caloused hands upon the plow
Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James

He was sitting on a bar stool
A picture from a cheating song
She'd been standing by the jukebox
Dropping quarters all night long.

He said, tell me: are you lonely?
Is there some place we can go?
She said: cowboy, you know I'm lonely
But there's something you should know.

If you wanna find gold go looking in the mountains
If you wanna find silver go digging in stones
If you wanna find heaven go reading in the Bible
If you wanna find love go looking at home.

She touched the gold ring on his finger
And held it to the jukebox light
And she said. Stranger, think what you're losing
If you leave here with me tonight.

So he hold her body closer
She felt feelings she'd never known
And he said: thank you, for the lesson
And if you need me I'll be at home.

If you wanna find gold go looking in the mountains
If you wanna find silver go digging in stones
If you wanna find heaven go reading in the Bible
If you wanna find love go looking at home...

You lie in gentle sleep beside me
I hear your warm and rhythmic breathing
I take your hand and hold it tightly
Listen, can you not hear our young hearts beating
I kiss the sleep from your eyes
Your smile is sweeter than the morning
And here it comes.

Chorus:
Can you feel it baby
Can you feel it, here it comes
Feel it, Feel it
Fire, Fire
Something's burning
Something's burning
Something's burning
And I think it's love.

And now the sun is burning brightly
We lie in love so close together
I get the feeling deep inside me
My love for you will burn forever.
I cup my hands to touch your face
And once again I feel your fire
And here it comes

Chorus:
Can you feel it baby
Can you feel it, here it comes
Feel it, Feel it
Fire, Fire
Something's burning
Something's burning
Something's burning
And I think it's love.

And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love.
And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love.
And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love...

They say that it's a matter of trusting
Before love has a chance to begin
And it's never simple, faithless hearts can cripple
And only a strong love survives
I know they say that it's a fine line
Between giving up and giving in
But once your heart's been in it you just can't forget it
It's like nothing that you've felt in your life.

We got real love, not infatuation
Real love, our hearts' celebration
I love you
Real love, not an imitation
Real love, you're my destination
Baby, you and me, we got everything we need.

You are such a part of my life
That I can't remember me without you
And we've had our nights, we've had our share of fights
But we've never thought of giving it up
Oh, you and I, we must be dreamers
'Cause we're making our dreams come true
I could spend my life just holding you so tight
And never, ever get enough.

We got real love, not infatuation
Real love, our hearts' celebration
I love you
Real love, not an imitation
Real love, you're my destination
Baby, you and me, we got everything we need.

We got real love.

We got real love, not infatuation
Real love, our hearts' celebration
I love you
Real love, not an imitation
Real love, you're my destination
Baby, you and me, we got everything we need...

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.

For the morning sun and all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter, somehow make it better
Ease my troubles that's what you do.

There's a love divine
And it's yours and it's mine
Like the sun, and at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray.

To the one, oh, to the one...

Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell it all brothers and sisters
Tell it all.

How much you're holding back on me
When you say you're giving all?
And in the dungeons of your mind
Who you got chained to the wall?

Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell it all brothers and sisters
Tell it all.

Did you plant your feet on higher ground
To avoid life's mud and stone?
Did you ever kick a good man
When he was down, just to make yourself feel strong?

Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell it all brothers and sisters
Tell it all.

Tomorrow just might be too late
Now is the time
To get your jumbled mind straight
And seek a new design.

Did you ever walk for a crippled man
Pretending you were lame?
And what made you think one feeble hand to God
Was gonna make him call your name?

Tell it all brother and sisters
Tell, Tell it all
Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell it all brothers and sisters, tell
Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell it all...

Here it's seven in the am,
It's gonna take more then wakin' to rise me
I wake up with this need again
But feel the love of the woman beside me
It's just one of those days

When I wanna lay here with her
And love her before I leave
And listen to the rain fall up on the roof
And the thunder sounds like horses hooves

Oh, I listen to her breathe
And it makes me wanna wake her up
And tell her that I'm on fire
With morning desire.

It looks like I'm gonna be late again
And I need to get up and get movin'
And I'm tryin'
But the longer I keep stallin'
The more I think about callin' in and lyin'
It's just one of those days

When I wanna stay here with her
And watch her while she sleeps
And listen to the rain fall up on the roof
And the thunder sounds like horses hooves

Oh, I listen to her breathe
And it makes me wanna wake her up
And tell her that I'm on fire
With morning desire

Well, I love to hear the rain fallin' on the roof
And the thunder sounds like horses hooves

Oh, I listen to her breathe
And it makes me wanna wake her up
And tell her that I'm on fire
With morning desire

With morning desire

I see you here with me
I've waited all my life
For someone like you
Someone to give
My heart and soul to

I look into your eyes
Your love for me
Was such a welcome surprise
I think at last
I've found forever

But what about me
(I'll always love you)
Oh, what about me
(I'll always need you)

You were my love before
But I need so much more of you

Time after time
I feel I'm losing my mind
Or maybe this is what
Lovers must go through

It never entered my mind
We could be wasting our time
What am I gonna do

What about me
Oh, what about me

No reason to pretend
True love affairs don't
Have to come to an end
The moment we don't
Have all the answers

I nearly go insane
(Oh, I go insane)
Each and every time
I hear you whisper my name
I feel the same
When I'm around you

(But what about me)
I'll always love you
(Oh, what about me)
I'll always need you

This is so hard for me
I wanted so much to be
With you, whoa

Time after time
I feel I'm losing my mind
Or maybe this is what
Lovers must go through

It never entered my mind
We could be wasting our time
What am I gonna do

Time after time
I'm losing my mind

It never entered my mind
We could be wasting our time

But what about me

One time I drove to see a girl across the country
One night as I was driving through New Mexico
I had the windows wide open
It was cold and I was crying
And I laid her letter on the radio
Then I stopped outside of Tahoe
thru this tiny mining town
At a diner to refill for the ride
And in the wind I heard this crying
Like a heart broke right in two
I turned my collar up and went inside.

Well, I saw this smiling waitress
Joshing friendly with these truckers
They'd give her pats and she'd give them shoves
I said: “Miss what's that awful crying???
Everybody laughed and said:
“It's the tomb of the unknown love??
And then they pointed out the window to this stone
All by itself, beneath the tree, beside the hill
And on that winter night
I read these words alone
These words that are haunting me still, it said:

He lies a young man struck down in his prime
By the awesome burning power of love
He couldn't stand this true love cheating
So he shot the girl down
They hung him from that tree up ( right ) above
I know that local folks say it's the wind
But I know it's crying
from the tomb of the unknown love.

So I drove on to my destination
I did the job my heart commanded of me
And when the sheriff sirens came
I didn't even try to fight
They counted ten, I came out at three
So now I guess tomorrow morning
Warden reads some kind of paper
How I'm gonna pay the state for what I've done
Hey, then they'll put the shackles on me
And we'll take a little walk
They won't have to drag me ‘cos it's said and done
And maybe someday they can put me up a stone
All by itself, beneath the tree, beside the hill
And lovers everywhere can come and read along
These words that will give them a chill
and it'll say:

He lies a young man ….

You're not meant to be alone
I'll share your dream
I'll show you love you've never known
Two flames together in the deep of the night
I'm up in your love.

Close by you when you call
I'll take my stand
One chance to make or lost it all
This time my journey to wherever you are
I sail on your river so far my love we'll never be found
If you believe.

We got eyes that see in the dark
And the power of love lives for making you mine
And in the light of close investigation
Is it only my imagination
I got you.

Moonlight shining on your face
My bridges burned
With all my tears that you replaced
Two hearts together is a beautiful sight
I'll take you to heaven so far my love will follow you there
If we believe.

We got eyes that see in the dark
And the power of love lives for making you mine
Am I the light of someone you need more of
Let me be that love you can be sure of
Is it only my imagination
I got you.

Like the eagle that flies in the sun
I'll be lost in your fire before we are done
And the view from my window is brighter
Born to be all you need.

We got eyes that see in the dark
And the power of love lives for making you mine
Am I the light of someone you need more of
Let me be that love you can be sure of
Is it only my imagination
I got you...

In a bar in Toledo across from the depot
On a bar stool she took off her ring
I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over
I sat down and asked her name
When the drinks finally hit her she said I'm no quitter
But I finally quit livin' on dreams
I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after
I'm after what-ever the other life brings

In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him
I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
Had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was dead
But he started shaking his big heart was breaking
He turned to the woman and said

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

After he left us I ordered more whisky
I thought how she'd made him look small
From the lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room
We walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me
She must have thought I'd lost my mind
I couldn't hold her 'cos the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille ....

Every now and then when the world steps in
Stealin' all our time away
It soon takes so much, we forget to touch
That's when I know it's time for me to say.

Take my hand let's walk through love's door
And be free from the world once more
Here's my arms, we can hide today
And love the world away.

Once again we'll be where our hearts are free
And the time is ours to share
Love will always stay just a touch away
Come with me all the magic's waiting there.

Take my hand let's walk through love's door
And be free from the world once more
Here's my heart, we can hide today
And love the world away.

We can love the world away...

Well, she walks like you
In so many ways
It's a different look
Different time of day

One look in her eyes
How can I make you understand
She's the one good thing
That's happened in so many years
There's been so many tears
Since we lost the dream
And the winter came

And you said goodbye
And I don't want another reason to cry

You be all you wanna be
You got the longest night
Baby, you'd be alone
I share my dream with someone else
I don't wanna talk about her

This woman
She's tearing my world apart
This woman
Don't know what she's doing
This woman
Touches me and I lose control
She's living inside my soul

This woman
I don't even know her name
This woman
Don't know what she's doing
This woman
Goes through me like a hurricane
Falling in love again

To make those long legs mine
Is all I care about
She's got so much to give
Got to be the one

Got to have someone to hold
I got to make it with that woman
When the nights get hot

She goes walking by
And the city light
And the city lights
They make you blind
I go insane

But am I crazy if she feels the same
You believe what you believe
You got the darkest night
Baby, you'd be alone

I take my love to someone else
She was made to measure for me

This woman
She's tearing my world apart
This woman
Don't know what she's doing
This woman
Touches me and I lose control
Falling in love again

This woman
She's tearing my world apart
This woman
Don't know what she's doing
This woman
Touches me and I lose control
Living inside my soul

This woman
I don't even know her name
This woman
Don't know what she's doing
This woman
Goes through me like a hurricane
Falling in love again
