I know there is pain Why do you lock yourself up in these chains No one can change your life except for you Don't ever let anyone step all over you Just open your heart and your mind Is it really fair to feel this way inside Ooh some day somebody's gonna make you want to Turn around and say goodbye Until then baby are you gonna let them Hold you down and make you cry Don't you know Don't you know things can change Things'll go your way If you hold on for one more day Can you hold on for one more day Things'll go your way Hold on for one more day
You could sustain or are you comfortable with the pain You've got no one to blame for your unhappiness You got yourself into your own mess Lettin' your worries pass you by Baby don't you think it's worth your time To change your mind Noo noo some day somebody's gonna make you want to Turn around and say goodbye Until then baby are you going to let them Hold you down and make you cry Don't you know Don't you know things can change Things'll go your way If you hold on for one more day Can you hold on for one more day Things'll go your way Hold on for one more day I know that there is pain But you hold on for one more day And you break free from the chains Yeah I know that there is pain But you hold on for one more day And you break free right from the chains Some day somebody's gonna make you want to Turn around and say goodbye Until then baby are you going to let them Hold you down and make you cry Don't you know Don't you know things can change Things'll go your way If you hold on for one more day Can you hold on Don't you know things can change Things'll go your way If you hold on for one more day Can you hold on Can you hold on
There's a world where I can go and tell my secrets to In my room, in my room In this world I lock out all my worries and my fears In my room, in my room Do my dreaming and my scheming Lie awake and pray Do my crying and my sighing Laugh at yesterday Now it's dark and I'm alone But I won't be afraid In my room, in my room In my room, in my room In my room, in my room
After six hours of school I've had enough for the day I hit the radio dial and turn it up all the way

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years And the slow parade of fears without crying Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could To see the evil and the good without hiding You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes Tell me what is wrong Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
'Cause I have wandered through this world And as each moment has unfurled I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams People go just where they will I never noticed them until I got this feeling That it's later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes Tell me what you see I hear their cries Just say if it's too late for me
Is it too late Is it too late for me Tell me doctor Doctor, my eyes Cannot see the sky Is this the price for having learned how not to cry
Love is but a song we sing And fear's the way we die You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Though the bird is on the wing And you may not know why
[Chorus] Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now
Some may come and some may go And we will surely pass When the one that left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moment's sunlight Fading in the grass
[Chorus]
If you hear the song we sing You will understand You hold the key to love and fear In your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both, you know It's there at your command
Monday, Monday So good to me. Monday, Monday It was all I hoped it would be.
Oh Monday morning Monday morning couldn't guarantee That Monday evening You would still be here with me.
Monday, Monday Can't trust that day. Monday, Monday Sometimes it just turns out that way.
On Monday morning You gave me no warning Of what was to be. On Monday, Monday How could you leave And not take me?
Every other day Every other day Every other day Of the week is fine, yeah.
But whenever Monday comes But whenever Monday comes You can find me crying All of the time.
Monday, Monday So good to me. Monday, Monday It was all I hoped it would be. Oh Monday morning, Monday morning couldn't guarantee That Monday evening You would still be here with me.
Every other day Every other day Every other day Of the week is fine, yeah.
But whenever Monday comes But whenever Monday comes You can find me crying All of the time.
Monday, Monday, Can't trust that day. Monday, Monday, Just turns out that way.
Oh, Monday, Monday, Don't go away. Oh, Monday, Monday It's here to stay Monday, Monday Oh, don't go away
To everything Turn, turn, turn There is a season Turn, turn, turn And a time for every purpose under Heaven A time to be born, a time to die A time to plant, a time to reap A time to kill, a time to heal A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything Turn, turn, turn There is a season Turn, turn, turn And a time for every purpose under Heaven
A time of love, a time of hate A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace A time to refrain from embracings
To everything Turn, turn, turn There is a season Turn, turn, turn And a time for every purpose under Heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose A time to rend, a time to sew A time for love, a time for hate A time for peace, I swear it's not too late
To everything Turn, turn, turn There is a season Turn, turn, turn
Loving you Isn't the right thing to do How can I ever change things That I feel
If I could Maybe I'd give you my world How can I When you won't take it from me
You can go your own way Go your own way You can call it Another lonely day You can go your own way You can go your own way
Tell me why Everything turned around Packing up Jacking up's all you wanna do
If I could Baby I'd give you my world Open up Everything's waiting for you
You can go your own way Go your own way You can call it Another lonely day You can go your own way You can go your own way
(Instrumental solo)
You can go your own way Go your own way You can call it another lonely day Another lonely day You can go your own way You can go your own way You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way (go your own way) You can go your own way (go your own way) (fade out)
Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf But let me tell you I got news for you And you'll soon find out it's true And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself 'Cause I'm already gone And I'm feelin' strong I will sing this vict'ry song Woo, hoo, hoo, woo, hoo, hoo
The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why But I guess you felt like you had to set things right But remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky You can see the stars and still not see the light (that's right)
And I'm already gone (I'm already gone) And I'm feelin' strong (now I'm feelin' strong) I will sing this vict'ry song Woo, hoo, hoo, woo, hoo, hoo
Well I know it wasn't you who held me down Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free (oh baby) So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains And we never even know we have the key Oh no
But me, I'm already gone (I'm already gone) And I'm feelin' strong (now I'm feelin' strong) I will sing this vict'ry song 'Cause I'm already gone 'Cause I'm already gone And I'm feelin' strong I will sing this vict'ry song 'Cause I'm already gone 'Cause I'm already gone 'Cause I'm already gone
Sitting in a park in Paris, France Reading the news and it sure looks bad They won't give peace a chance That was just a dream some of us had Still a lot are left to see But I wouldn't want to stay here It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here Oh, but california California I'm coming home I'm going to see the folks I dig I'll even kiss a sunset pig California I'm coming home
I met a redneck on a Grecian isle Who did the goat dance very well He gave me back my smile But he kept my camera to sell Oh the rogue, the red red rogue He cooked good omelettes and stews And I might have stayed on with him there But my heart cried out for you, California California I'm coming home Oh make me feel good rock'n roll band I'm your biggest fan
California, I'm coming home
Oh it gets so lonely When you're walking And the streets are full of strangers All the news of home you read Just gives you the blues Just gives you the blues
So I bought me a ticket I caught a plane to Spain Went to a party down a red dirt road There were lots of pretty people there Reading rolling stone, reading vogue They said, how long can you hang around? I said a week, maybe two, Just until my skin turns brown Then I'm going home to California California I'm coming home Will you take me as I am Strung out on another man California I'm coming home I'm coming home I'm coming home I'm coming home Yeah Take me as I am Will you Will you
I'm gonna ask you for something, and it may sound like a lot. I've never really asked you for anything, no. We've always lived so far apart
Chorus: Would you fly all the way from New York to see me? Could you fly all the way to stand here next to me? I didn't think so But here you are with me.
I was hanging on to nothing as a child. And my brother, he used to slam into walls Everyone called him wild Yes it's been a while since I've had a day, Where I don't wish away all the fear, all the fear That's why it's so hard to ask
(Chorus)
Thank you for coming. You'll never know what it means (ah..ah) 'Cause no one ever cared enough about you How were you supposed to know what I need You'll never know what it means But thank you for coming.
'I love you girl' that's what you used to say And that no one would ever take it away I gave you all I had inside, baby it's alright But then you took the love right from my heart It's funny a thing so strong can fall apart I gave you all I had inside, baby it's alright, ooh One day you'll wear out the lines you always use Why do you say that you'll change when you never do? I've always found a reason to let it slide...baby not this time. Ooh, because I know where you're going from here (Don't take me down with you)
Chorus Don't take me down (take me down with you...) 'Cause I don't need no one and no one's ever gonna bring me down. Don't take me down (Don't take me down with you...) And I don't need no one and no one's ever gonna bring me down. You had someone... you had me to love.
Why do we put up all these fronts? There's something about the way that you loved me once. And why, why is it wrong to want it back again? Oh no... one day you'll wear out the lines you always use Why do you say that you'' change when you never do? I've always found a reason to let it slide...baby not this time. Ooh, because I know where you're going from here (Don't take me down with you)
Chorus
Too many times, I've realized the truth (don't take me down, don't take me down) Too many times... I've seen enough, I've seen it enough to know This time you're not, you're not gonna take me down Down, down, down, down .... yeah
If you never plan to come out of your shell, you're never gonna get well. I understand your reasons not to. What you don't know is what you're afraid of. And I'm afraid of it too But can I even talk to you again?
Oh part of me wants to call you up, and talk to you like a friend. And there's a part of me that wants to shut you out And never see your face again.
Chorus: How can we be like enemies when we're only flesh and blood? What does it take to make your heart bleed, Daddy aren't we enough? You can get through there's nothing stopping you from getting to us No one can take a way the fact that we're only...flesh and blood For years I've been following your case, It's the only time I see your face And we've learned to live without you. Who you don't know is who you're afraid of And we're afraid of you too But will we ever talk to you again?
Oh part of me wants to call you up, just talk to you like a friend There's a part of me that wants to shut you out And never see your face again.
(Chorus)
I want to make you laugh, and I want a chance to know you better. I want to hear you sing beside me now. We're just like you.
(Chorus)
I want to make you laugh, I want a chance to know you better I want to hear you sing beside me now... flesh and blood I want to make you laugh (want to make you laugh), and I want a chance to know you better I want to hear you sing beside me now I'm a part of you, and I miss you.
I'm all grown up But somehow, it feels like I'm pretending Visions of my younger years, they are buried But the scenes that play inside of me, are impending They are never ending...
Chorus: Where, where, where, where, where are you? You don't have to look out that window, anymore. You can just come back to yourself, you can come back to this world. Where are you? Tell me who heard you. And where are you?
He led me into his room, and had me lay down My heart, and my soul, and anything else that you could own, When you're six years old. But now I'm older
(Chorus)
Such a quiet secret, it hurt too much trying hard to keep it. Oh, and I looked up to you... I wanted so much to believe in you. I wanted so much for you to believe it me. Oh I tried, I tried.
Where, where, where, where, where are you? You don't have to look out anymore. I don't have to look out of that window anymore. I can just, come back to myself, I can come back this world
Where are you? Tell me who heard you? And where are you now? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Tell me who hurt you.
Softly, Love is standing here with its demands (Tell me what you want from me, you want from me) Slowly, I think of letting go of all the plans (Tell me where we're goin' to, we're goin' to) Why, why am I afraid to give into this Why am I afraid?
Chorus: This doesn't have to be love But it's all I can feel, it's all that I fear. This doesn't have to be anything at all, so hard to fall (from this high above) But do we have to call it love?
I hold back, from everything I really want to say (Should have let my guards down, my guards down, my guards down) I don't, I don't make commitments that could break (Maybe it's just too late, it's just too late) I, I'm so afraid to give into this I'm so afraid, Oh
Chorus
Bridge: Need a little time to think things over, Baby Do I really want to give myself, give all myself to you, now? I can't believe it's happening so fast 'Cause I don't want to bring back what I left in the past, No.
Chorus
Breakdown So hard to fall...in love This doesn't have to be...love (Love, love is all I feel...your love is what I fear) Love me...love me So hard to fall So very hard to fall
You can't hide it from me Admit it baby 'Cause I'm wise to your disguise I've seen you love me with your eyes
Even if you think I'm a fool and I just can't tell Then you don't know me well Won't you come over here and break the ice It would be so nice
It's what you want when you're around me You're a little bit shy, and I feel the need And I can tell that you're happy you found me Just give it up...
Chorus: Why wait around when you know what you're feeling (give it up) I look through your eyes I can see that you want somebody (give it up) It could feel so good to get into it. Give it up! Give it up! You want it baby. Give it up! Give it up! You know you got me. Come on, come on, come on and give it up.
I can't, I can't lie to you Now we can all tell stories so come over here and love me. Uh-huh Even if you think I'm a fool and I just can't tell Sorry I know you well. And I know you will
Come over here and love me It's what you want when you're around me You're a little bit shy, and I feel the need And I can tell that you're happy you found me Just give it up...
(Chorus)
So dream your way into my life 'Cause baby I'll give you tonight I'll bring all your pictures to life Give it up! Give it up! Give it up! Give it up! Give it up... (ooh God) Give it up... Just give it up...Give it up
Give it up! Give it up (Yeah!) Give it up! Give it up! C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, give it up Give it up! Won't you give it up baby tonight?
I wish i had all you ever wanted I'd give it right to you But i don't have it
How could i ever find it, The strength to let you go 'cause i don't have it When will i have it?
And it goes, and it goes on And it goes on
You won't see me cry You know i decided That i'm gonna pull myself together And find a way to fight it I'm gonna have to hide it You won't see me cry You won't see me cry
I've got no choice but to face it I have to let you know that i don't like it My love is good for someone And it may take some time But i will find him Why should i waste it?
When i go, When i go on I will go on
You won't see me cry You know i decided That i'm gonna pull myself together And find a way to fight it Even if i have to hide it You won't see me cry You won't see me cry You won't see me...(oh ah uh)
I finally decided And i found the way to fight it...
Hey, do you know what's going on Do you? Come on, play it! Wooh!
Are you awake? Have you anything to say? Are you aware of what surrounds you? And all the times you tried to please everyone Can you admit it doesn't matter?
Ooh there's never a dull moment in my life And I don't mind the ride I don't mind the ride, yes So listen
Don't live a lifeless life When you could be living it right Don't be one to be led (ahah) It's a heavy world in my small world Get up get out of bed
Ooh there's never a dull moment in my life And I don't mind the ride
Chorus: Don't you know it's only life It's only life Taking you on a constant flight Don't you know that it's only life There is no wrong there could be no right Whatever you're doing However you're doing it You'll be living your life Yes it's only life So there is no wrong, no right Ooh it's a constant flight A constant flight
Movin' on...
Are you awake? I don't think I have the answer Is there no one on the other line? No Now it's a heavy world in my small world But I'm feeling just fine
Ooh there's never a still moment in my life And I don't mind the ride
(Chorus)
Life Don't you know Crying It's only life, it's only life Don't you know Crying It's only life, it's only life I'm crying
(ah) (whooh)
Don't you know it's only life Taking you on a constant flight Don't you know that it's only life There is no wrong there could be no right Whatever you're
