I don't know why I did the things I did
I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife, it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't wanna see you go
I know I made you cry
But baby

CHORUS
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do
If I could turn back

My world was shattered, I was torn apart
Like somebody took a knife
And drove it deep in my heart
When you walked out that door
I swore that I didn't care
But I lost every thing darling then and there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind, and darling

CHORUS



. . .



You're struttin' into town like your slingin' a gun
Just a small town dude with a big city attitude
Honey are ya lookin' for some trouble tonight
Well alright
You think you're so bad, drive the women folk wild
Shoot 'em all dowm with the flash of your pearly smile
Honey but you met your match tonight
Oh that's right
You think you'll knock me off my feet
Till I'm flat on the floor
Till my heart is crying indian and I'm beggin' for more
So come on baby, come on baby
Come on baby show me what that loaded gun is for

CHORUS
If you can give it, I can take it
Cause if this heart is gonna break
It's gonna take a lot to break it
I know tonight
Somebody's gonna win the fight
So if you're so tough
Come on and prove it
Your heart is down for the count
And you know you're gonna lose it
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James

You're an outlaw lover and I'm after your hide
Well you ain't so strong
Won't be long till your hands are tied
Tonight I'm gonna take you in dead or alive
That's right
You break the laws of love in the name of desire
Take ten steps back, cause I'm ready baby aim and fire
baby there's no way you're gonna run tonight
Ooh that's right
Well you've had your way with love
But it's the end of the day
Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag your heart away
So Come on baby, come on baby
Come on baby you know there ain't nothing left to say

CHORUS

You think you'll knock me off my feet
Till I'm flat on the floor
Till my heart is crying indian and I'm beggin for more
So come on baby, come on baby
Come on baby, Come on

CHORUS


. . .



So now you're back
So you had your fun
And now you're coming around again
Sure baby, I should let you in
So you can let me down again
Well it doesn't really matter
What you say or do
You can tell me that you love me
But I know it ain't true

Cause you wouldn't know love
If it knocked down your door
You wouldn't know it now
You never knew it before
If it landed in your hands
From the heavens above
You wouldn't know love
(You wouldn't know love)
No you wouldn't know love

Said you changed
Said you done me wrong
But you won't do it anymore
No darling, I don't have to tell you
Where I heard that line before
Baby, you would say anything
To get back into my heart
When it comes to loving
You don't even know where to start

Did you think that I would believe
Anything that you said
Let you come back to me
Baby, there's just no way
Baby, I've had enough

. . .



Beneath the white fire of the moon
Love's wings are broken all too soon
We never learn
Hurt together, hurt alone
Don't you sometimes wish Your heart was a heart of stone
We turn the wheel and break the chain Put steel to steel and laugh at pain
We're dreamers in castles made of sand The road to Eden's overgrown
Don't you sometimes wish Your heart was made of stone
Look at the headlines
Big crowd at the crazy house
Long queue for the joker's shoes
Ten rounds in the ring with love
Do you lose and win Or win and lose
Sweet rain like mercy in the night
(Lay me down, wash away the sorrow) Caress my soul and set it right
(Lay me down, show me your tomorrow) Summer tears, winter and the moment's flown
Don't you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone
Mercy, mercy wish your heart Was a heart of stone
Get the picture
No room for the innocent
Peak season in lonely town
Knocked out of the ring by love
Are you down and up Or up and down
I ask the river for a sign
(In a dream we go on together)
How long is love supposed to shine
(In a dream diamonds are forever)
But you and I, hurt together, hurt alone Don't you sometimes wish Your heart was a heart
of stone
Mercy, mercy wish your heart was a heart of stone
(With a heart of stone, you'll be well protected)
Don't you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone
(With a heart of stone, you'll be well connected)
Repeat and fade



. . .



Visions haunt my memory
They hold on, hold on desperately
You and I were over long ago
Don't know why
My heart was last to know
Each time I find somebody new

Still in love with you
I know I been lying to myself
Baby, it's you
You know I'll deny it
But know it's true
Still in love with you

Wake up, crying in the night
These feelings I'm feeling
Prove you right
You told me
No one could take your place
No matter how I try
I can't replace
One thing you said
I know it's true

CHORUS:
Still in love with you
I know I've been lying to myself
Baby, it's true
I don't want to believe it
But what can I do
Still in love with you

You and I were over long ago
Don't know why
My heart was last to know

Chorus

I know I been lying
lying all along
Baby, it's you
And I know I'll deny it
But know it's true
Still in love with you
I know I been lying to myself
Baby, it's you

Chorus




. . .



We use to talk
Delivered on a dime
Now we live together
Never find the time
We use to walk
As lovers on the sand
Now we're working full time
On our lifetime plan
We never stop to see
The moon at night
We're just too busy
Leading complicated lives

CHORUS:
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I remember love on a rooftop
We couldn't make our love stop
We were giving all that we got
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I remember holding you so tight
Ooh, when kissing lasted all night
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Love on a rooftop
Whoa, whoa, whoa,

Look at us now all grown up
We got it all together
Got it all sown up
But is this all, it was leading to
Do we just run out of dreams
When all our dreams come true
What ever happened
To those endless nights
When we were happy
Living young and foolish lives

Chorus

We never stop to see
The moon at night
We're just too busy
Leading complicated lives

Chorus




. . .



I can't wait 'till I see you baby
I can't wait 'till the night comes falling down
I gotta see you again
And even if it couldn't be forever
I'd trade a lifetime for this night together
Hold on hold on

CHORUS:
My heart is burning with the heat of this
Emotional fire
Every time I see you
I'm on fire, every time we touch
Can't you feel me burning with desire
Baby feel the warm, give me some
Emotional fire
Emotional fire¡­

There's a feeling when I'm here beside you
Couldn't leave you and I wouldn't try to
Baby, I only need you again
There ain't nothing that can break this fever
The love gets stronger, and the passion deeper
Hold on hold on

I can't let go, 'cause there's no stopping this
Emotional fire
Every time I see you
I'm on fire, every time we touch
Can't you feel me burning with desire
Baby feel the warm, give me some
Emotional fire
Emotional fire¡­

I can't wait until I see you baby
I can't wait 'till the night comes falling
Hold on hold on

Chorus



. . .



Sometimes
A heart has a mind of it's own
Sometimes
I can tell myself
That I'm better off being alone
Sometimes
But this time
I can't hide from the thought of it
It's around every corner I turn
Right there in lights
In black and white
Staring at me

CHORUS:
It's all because of you
That I feel this way
All because of you
That my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because of you
All because of you

Tonight
I can't feel any magic inside
Tonight
'Cause I can't reach out for the stars
Lookin' up at the moon on my own
No signs of life, no nothing's right
Since you've been gone

Chorus

All because of you
I can't sleep at night
Oh no I can't sleep at night
And there ain't no rest
Living second best
Without your love

You don't know what it's like
To feel this way
All because of you
That my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because of you






. . .



I walked down the street
People passing me by
They just look me up and down
But they don't look me in the eye
I'm just another stranger
In my own home town
Looking for an angel
But heaven can't be found

I say hey, are you lonely tonight?
Hey, hey, hey I'm gonna make it through
But that don't make it right

CHORUS:
Does anybody really fall in love anymore?
Does anybody really give their heart to somebody?
Does anybody really ever open that door?
I know, I know you've got to love somebody
I know, I know I've got to find somebody to love

There's a sad face in the mirror
And I'm sad to say it's mine
Like a ghost up in the attic
Only love can set him free
I've been running around in circles
On this roller coaster ride
There's a lonely world around me
I get sucked in by the tide
I say hey, love ain't no crime
So why is everybody so afraid to cross that line?

Chorus

Hey, hey, hey I'll be all right
'Cause I know that someone somewhere's
Gonna say these words tonight

Chorus




. . .



Spent a lifetime
Finally found someone
Gave him all that I had
In love till the dream was gone
I was losing myself
Out in the darkness alone
But the night made me strong
And I learned to let go

Time mends a heart
You turn the page somehow
Oh, there's no looking back
The hurt is behind you now

CHORUS:
Starting over again
From the second time around
Coming back to win
Starting over again
Take the first step
And let it begin
Starting over, starting over

Memories haunt you
Feelings you won't forget
Learn to live a lesson in love
Walk away without regrets
We'll never deny
Feelings your heart demands
Ah, find your way out
Just when you reach the end

Starting over again
No one's gonna count you out
When the heat is on
Starting over again
Gotta come back and turn it around
Starting over

Take another look inside
Where you always have a fight
Never dream of giving up, never
No looking back

Chorus




. . .



Do nothing till you hear from me
Leave a number where you're gonna be
These times are dangerous for you and me
Would I get a message through?
She'll be watching every move you make
She'll be waiting for that one mistake
Somebody's heart is gonna have to break
Before we are through

CHORUS:
Because we can't live
From kiss to kiss
Making up for all we've missed
Hiding in the daylight shadows
Until it's time to say goodbye
Wishing it would be all right
Living with a loneliness
From kiss to kiss

Don't ask me now what is right or wrong
'Cos I've been wondering since you came along
We were weak and love was strong
Now there's nothing we can do
So I'll meet you at the same ole place
I know it's worth it when I see your face
Someday we'll just disappear without a trace
Baby, that's the truth

I keep hoping we'll find a way
(Kiss to kiss)
I keep wondering who's gonna pay
(Kiss to kiss)
I keep waiting for Judgement Day

Some people's lives
Just get in the way
And that's the truth

Chorus




. . .



Well here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight

I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always
Brings me back to you

CHORUS:
After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me
After all

When love is truly right
This time it's truly right
It lives from year to year
It changes as it grows
And oh the way it grows
But it never disappears

Chorus

Always just beyond my touch
Though I needed you so much
After all what else is living for
Whoa

Chorus x 2
