SUMMER OF `69
I got my first real six string Bought it at the five and dime Played it til my fingers bled Was the summer of `69
Me and some guys from school Had a band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit and Jody got married I shoulda known we`d never get far
But when I look back now That summer seemed to last forever And if I had the choice Ya - I`d always wanna be there Those were the best days of my life
Ain`t no use in complainin` When you got a job to do Spent my evenin`s down at the drive-in And that`s when I met you - ya
Standin` on your mama`s porch You told me that you`d wait forever Oh and when you held my hand I knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of `69
Man we were killin` time We were young and restless We needed to unwind I guess nothin` can last forever - forever, no...
And now the times are changin` Look at everything that`s come and gone Sometimes when I play that old six string I think about ya`n wonder what went wrong
Standin` on your mama`s porch You told me it would last forever Oh the way you held my hand I knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of `69
STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART
I could start dreamin` but it`d never end As long as you`re gone we may as well pretend I`ve been dreamin` Straight from the heart
You said it`s easy but who`s to say That we`d be able to keep it this way But it`s easier Comin` straight from the heart
Give it to me straight from the heart Tell me we can make another start You know I`ll never go - as long as I know It`s comin` straight from the heart
I`ll see you on the street some other time And all our words would just fall outta line While we`re dreamin` Straight from the heart
Give it to me straight from the heart Tell me we can make one more start You know I`ll never go - as long as I know It`s comin` straight from the heart
IT`S ONLY LOVE
When the feelin` is ended There ain`t no use pretendin` Don`t ya worry - It`s only love
When your world has been shattered Ain`t nothin` else matters It ain`t over - It`s only love And that`s all - yeah
When your heart has been broken Hard words have been spoken It ain`t easy - but it`s only love
And your life ain`t worth livin` And you`re ready to give in Just remember - that it`s only love
You can live without the aggravation Ya gotta wanna win - ya gotta wanna win You keep lookin` back in desperation Over and over and over again
When your world has been shattered Ain`t nothin` else matters It ain`t over - It`s only love
And if your life ain`t worth livin` And you`re ready to give in Just remember - that it`s only love Ya - that`s all
Ya it ain`t easy baby But it`s only love - and that`s all
CAN`T STOP THIS THING WE STARTED
You might stop a hurricane Might even stop the drivin` rain You might have a dozen other guys But if you wanna stop me baby - don`t even try I`m goin` one way - your way It`s such a strong way - let`s make it our way
Can`t stop this thing we started Ya gotta know it`s right Can`t stop this course we plotted This thing called love we got it No place for the broken hearted Can`t stop this thing we started - no way I`m goin` your way!
You might stop the world spinnin` `round Might even walk on holy ground I ain`t superman and I can`t fly But if you wanna stop me baby - don`t even try I`m goin` one way - your way It`s such a strong way - let`s make it our way
Can`t stop this thing we started Ya gotta know it`s right Can`t stop this course we plotted This thing called love we got it No place for the broken hearted Can`t stop this thing we started - no way I`m goin` your way!
Oh - why take it slow I gotta know Nothin` can stop - this thing that we got
DO I HAVE TO SAY THE WORDS?
Rescue me from the mire Whisper words of desire Rescue me - darlin` rescue me
With your arms open wide Want you here by my side Come to me - darlin` rescue me When this world`s closin` in There`s no need to pretend Set me free - darlin` rescue me
I don`t wanna let you go So I`m standin` in your way I never needed anyone like I`m needin` you today
Do I have to say the words? Do I have to tell the truth? Do I have to shout it out? Do I have to say a prayer? Must I prove to you - how good we are together? Do I have to say the words?
Rescue me from despair Tell me you will be there Help me please - darlin` rescue me
Every dream that we share Every cross that we bear Can`t you see - darlin` rescue me
I don`t wanna let you go So I`m standin` in your way I never needed anyone like I`m needin` you today
Do I have to say the words? Do I have to tell the truth? Do I have to shout it out? Do I have to say a prayer? Must I prove to you - how good we are together? Do I have to say the words?
THIS TIME
I think about her all the time She`s my fantasy An image burnin` in my mind Callin` out to me
While my imagination`s runnin` wild Yeah - things are getting clearer
This time everything is all right No way she`s gonna get away This time everything is easy And day - I`m gonna make her mine
I`ve thought of every word I`d say Give or take a few But she turns and slowly walks away What am I supposed to do
Hey - turn up your radio Oh - there`s somethin` I want you to know
This time everything is all right No way she`s gonna get away This time everything is easy And day - I`m gonna make her mine
Well it`s hard to take cause she`s miles away And I`ve waited a long time But the feelin`s right and darlin` one of these nights Yeah - I`m gonna let you know
This time everything is all right No way she`s gonna get away This time everything is easy And day - I`m gonna make her mine
RUN TO YOU
She says her love for me could never die But that`d change if she ever found out about you and I
Oh - but her love is cold It wouldn`t hurt her if she didn`t know, cause...
When it gets too much I need to feel your touch
I`m gonna run to you I`m gonna run to you Cause when the feelin`s right I`m gonna run all night I`m gonna run to you
She`s got a heart of gold she`d never let me down But you`re the one that always turns me on You keep me comin` `round
I know her love is true But it`s so damn easy makin` love to you
I got my mind made up I need to feel your touch
I`m gonna run to you Ya - I`m gonna run to you Cause when the feelin`s right I`m gonna stay all night
I`m gonna run to you Ya - I`m gonna run to you Oh when the feelin`s right I`m gonna run all night I`m gonna run to you
HEAVEN
Oh - thinkin` about all our younger years There was only you and me We were young and wild and free
Now nothin` can take you away from me We bin down that road before But that`s over now You keep me comin` back for more
Baby you`re all that I want When you`re lyin` here in my arms I`m findin` it hard to believe We`re in heaven And love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart It isn`t too hard to see We`re in heaven
Oh - once in your life you find someone Who will turn your world around Bring you up when you`re feelin` down
Ya - nothin` could change what you mean to me Oh there`s lots that I could say But just hold me now Cause our love will light the way
N` baby you`re all that I want When you`re lyin` here in my arms I`m findin` it hard to believe We`re in heaven And love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart It isn`t too hard to see We`re in heaven
I`ve bin waitin` for so long For something to arrive For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin` true Through the good times and the bad Ya - I`ll be standin` there by you
CUTS LIKE A KNIFE
Drivin` home this evenin` Coulda sworn we had it all worked out You had this boy believin` way beyond a shadow of a doubt
Then I heard it on the street I heard ya might of found somebody new Well who is he baby - who is he and tell me what he means to you
I took it for granted - but how was I to know That you`d be lettin` go Now it cuts like a knife - but it feels so right It cuts like a knife - but it feels so right
There`s times I`ve bin mistaken There`s times I`ve thought I`ve bin misunderstood So wait a minute darlin` - can`t you see we did the best we could
This wouldn`t be the first time - that things have gone astray Now you`ve thrown it all away
Now it cuts like a knife - but it feels so right It cuts like a knife - but it feels so right
(EVERYTHING I DO) I DO IT FOR YOU
Look into my eyes - you will see What you mean to me Search your heart - search your soul And when you find me there you`ll search no more
Don`t tell me it`s not worth tryin` for You can`t tell me it`s not worth dyin` for You know it`s true Everything I do - I do it for you
Look into my heart - you will find There`s nothin` there to hide Take me as I am - take my life I would give it all - I would sacrifice
Don`t tell me it`s not worth fightin` for I can`t help it - there`s nothin` I want more Ya know it`s true Everything I do - I do it for you
There`s no love - like your love And no other - could give more love There`s nowhere - unless you`re there All the time - all the way
Oh - you can`t tell me it`s not worth tryin` for I can`t help it - there`s nothin` I want more I would fight for you - I`d lie for you Walk the wire for you - ya I`d die for you
Ya know it`s true Everything I do - I do it for you
SOMEBODY
I bin lookin` for someone Between the fire and the flame We`re all lookin` for somethin` To ease the pain
Now who can you turn to When it`s all black `n` white And the winners are losers You see it every night
I need somebody Somebody like you Everybody needs somebody
I need somebody Hey what about you Everybody needs somebody
When you`re out on the front line And you`re watchin` them fall Doesn`t take long to realize It ain`t worth fightin` for
I thought I saw the Madonna When you walked in the room And your eyes were like diamonds And they cut right through - Oh they cut right through
I need somebody Somebody like you Everybody needs somebody
I need somebody Hey what about you We all need somebody
Another night another lesson learned It`s the distance that keeps us sane But when the silence leads to sorrow We do it all again - all again
I need somebody Somebody like you Everybody needs somebody
I need somebody Hey what about you Everybody needs somebody
KIDS WANNA ROCK
Turned on the radio Sounded like a disco Musta turned the dial for a couple of miles But I couldn`t find no rock n` roll
This computerized crap ain`t gettin` me off Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock
London to LA Talk about the New Wave For a couple of bucks ya get a weird haircut And waste your life away
Around the world or around the block Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock
Get me my DJ I got somethin` he`s gotta play Wanna hear it I can`t wait So turn it up - turn it up...
Kick down the barricades Listen what the kids say From time to time people change their minds But the music is here to stay
I`ve seen it all from the bottom to the top Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock
Around the world or around the block Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock
HEAT OF THE NIGHT
I was caught in the crossfire of a silent scream Where one man`s nightmare is another man`s dream Pull the cover up high - and pray for the mornin` light Cause you`re livin` alone - in the heat of the night
Met a man with a message from the other side Couldn`t take the pressure - had to leave it behind He said it`s up to you You can run or you can fight (Ya that`s right) Better leave it alone - in the heat of the night
In the heat of the night they`ll be comin` around There`ll be lookin` for answers they`ll be chasin` you down In the heat of the night (Where ya gonna hide when it all comes down) (Don`t look back don`t ever turn around)
Had to pay the piper to call the tune Said he`d be back someday - said he`d be back real soon Pull the shades down low - you`ll know when the time is right When you`re lyin` alone in the heat of the night
PLEASE FORGIVE ME
Still feels like our first night together Feels like the first kiss It`s gettin` better baby No one can better this Still holdin` on, you`re still the one First time our eyes met - same feelin` I get Only feels much stronger - wanna love ya longer You still turn the fire on... So if you`re feelin` lonely don`t - you`re the only one I ever want I only wanna make it good - so if I love ya a little more than I should
Please forgive me - I know not what I do Please forgive me - I can`t stop lovin` you Don`t deny me - this pain I`m going through Please forgive me - if I need ya like I do Please believe me - every word I say is true Please forgive me - I can`t stop lovin` you
Still feels like our best times are together Feels like the first touch - still gettin` closer baby Can`t get close enough Still holdin` on - still number one I remember the smell of your skin - I remember everything I remember all your moves - I remember you yeah I remember the nights - ya know I still do So if you`re feelin` lonely don`t - you`re the only one I ever want I only wanna make it good - so if I love ya a little more than I should

One thing I`m sure of - is the way we make love And one thing I depend on - is for us to stay strong With every word and every breath I`m prayin` That`s why I`m sayin`
Please forgive me - I know not what I do Please forgive me - I can`t stop lovin` you Don`t deny me this pain I`m going through Please forgive me - if I need ya like I do Babe believe me - every word I say is true Please forgive me - if I can`t stop lovin` you Never leave me - I don`t know what I`d do Please forgive me - I can`t stop lovin` you Can`t stop lovin` you
