It's alright if you love me, It's alright if you don't I'm not afraid of you runnin' away honey, Iv'e got this feeling you won't
Say there ain't no use in pretending, Your eyes give you away Something inside you is feeling like I do, We said all there is to say
Breakdown, go ahead and give it to me Breakdown, take me through the night Breakdown, go ahead give it to me, Breakdown, it's alright, It's alright, it's alright
Baby can't wait, baby gotta go Gotta do a number on a late night show Do a little song, do a little dance Gonna make the best of her big chance
It don't really matter if she don't or if she do Just tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues
I gotta friend, gotta little girl Says she's the best in the whole wide world Said it's so good, said it's unreal Might not last, but it's no big deal
It don't really matter if she don't or if she do Just tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues
Baby, save me, save me Save me with your sweet smile Honey I really need you To help me kill a little bit of time
All of the girls run with a crowd They go wild when the lights go down They gotta little money, live in a dream Wanna be the queen of their little scene
It don't really matter if she don't or if she do Just tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues
Well the moon sank as the wind blew And the street lights slowly died Yeah they call you the wild one Said stay away from her Said she couldn't love no one if she tried
But then somethin' I saw in your eyes Told me right away That you were gonna have to be mine The strangest feeling came over me down inside No matter what it takes I'll never get over how good it felt When you finally held me I will never regret baby Those few hours linger on in my head forever
White light cut a scar in the sky Thin line of silver The night was all clouded with dreams Wind made me shiver Black and yellow pools of light Outside my window Luna come to me tonight I am a prisoner Luna glide down from the moon
The clouds are all silver and black Floating around me Luna come into my eyes Luna surround me With black and yellow pools of light Fall by my window Luna come to me tonight I am a prisoner Luna glide down from the moon
The clouds are all silver and black Floating around me Luna come into my eyes Luna surround me With black and yellow pools of light Fall by my window Luna come to me tonight I am a prisoner Luna glide down from the moon
Well, she was an American girl, Raised on promises She couldn't help thinking that there was a little more to life Somewhere else After all it was a great big world With lots of places to run to And if she had to die Tryin', she Had one little promise she was gonna keep
Chorus: Oh yeah, alright, Take it easy, baby Make it last all night She was an American girl.
Well, it was kind of cold that night, She stood alone on the balcony Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by, Out on four forty one like Waves crashing on the beach, And for one des'rate moment there He crept back in her memory God, it's so painful when something that's so close Is still so far out of reach
This might sound strange, it might seem dumb Depends on the side that you take it in from Depends on the time, depends on the day Depends on a lot of things, who can say
I just want to let you know that I will stand by you Through whatever might come, wherever you run Will you stand by me when the time comes
Baby do you understand, am I making this clear Are you tuning me out 'cause I'm coming off weird Well I don't care, that's all right It's okay, I don't mind
I just want to let you know that I will stand by you Through whatever might come, wherever you run Will you stand by me when the time comes
This ain't the right time to say what's on my mind I know, but I look in your eyes
And there's no real life at all Baby hold on
And someday soon you'll come around You know where I can be found When your heart feels right, seek me out We can talk more then babe, but right now
I just want to let you know that I will stand by you Through whatever might come, wherever you run Will you stand by me when the time comes
I walked to the window turned out the light Looked at the city went back through the night Yeah I stood in the darkness stood all alone Thank God for California thank God I'm going home
That's right you hurt me baby hurt me good Hurt me like no one else ever could Cut down the middle face down in the dirt And we both know it's too late to save it Betcha feel proud about it baby You taught me how to hurt
DC10, 10:45 Halfway to L.A. red in the eyes Might be the devil, might just be his friend It don't make no difference, you ain't gettin' me again
That's right you hurt me baby hurt me good Hurt me like no one else ever could Cut down the middle face down in the dirt And we both know it's too late to save it Betcha feel proud about it baby You taught me how to hurt
Well the talk on the street Says you might go solo A good friend of mine Saw you leavin' by your back door
I need to know, I need to know If you think you're gonna leave Then you better say so I need to know, I need to know 'Cause I don't know how long I can hold on If you're makin' me wait, if you're leadin' me on I need to know
Who would've thought that You'd fall for his line All of a sudden It's me on the outside I need to know I need to know Baby, I need to know
