Unchain my heart
Baby let me be
'Cause you don't care
Let me
Set me free

Unchain my heart
Baby let me go
Unchain my heart
'Cause you don't love me no more
Every time I call you on the phone
Some fella tells me that you're not at home
Unchain my heart
Set me free

Unchain my heart
Baby let me be
Unchain my heart
'Cause you don't care a bag of beans
about me
You've got me sowed up like a mellow case
But you let my love go to waste
Unchain my heart
Set me free

I'm under your spell
Like a man in a trance baby
Oh but you know darn well
That I don't stand a chance
Unchain my heart
Let me go let me go my way
Unchain my heart


You worry me night and day
Why lead me through a life of misery
When you don't care about the beans for me
Unchain my heart oh please
Set me free
Girl Alright
I'm under your spell
Just like a man in a trance oh baby
But you know darn well
That I don't stand a chance
Please unchain my heart
Let me go my way
Unchain my heart
You are in my night and day
Why leave me to a life of misery
When you don't care bag of beans for me
Unchain my heart
Please set me free
Oh set me free
now woman why don't you do that for me
oh You don't care
Won't you let me go
cause you don't love me no more
Like a man in a trance
let me go
I'm under your spell
Like a man in a trance
And you know darn well
That I don't stand a chance no
Oh
You don't care
Please set me free

. . .


Baby, take off your coat...real slow
Baby, take off your shoes...here, I'll take your shoes
Baby, take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

Go on over there and turn on the light...no, all the lights
Now come back here and stand on this chair...that's right
Raise your arms up in to the air...shake 'em
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live

Suspicious minds are talking
Trying to tear us apart
They say that my love is wrong
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
I know what love is

. . .


Hold on
I'll be back for you
It won't be long
But for now there's something else
That's calling me
So take me down a lonesome road
Point me east and let me go
That suitcase weighs me down
With memories

I just wanna be the one you run to
I just wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there for someone
When the night comes
Let's put all the cares behind us
And go where they'll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you
When the night comes
When the night comes

Two spirits in the night
That can leave before the morning light
When there's nothing left to lose
And nothing left to fear
So meet me on the edge of town
Won't keep you waiting I'll be 'round
Then you and I
We'll just roll right out of here

I just wanna be the one you run to
I just wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there for someone
When the night comes
Let's put all the cares behind us
And go where they'll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you
When the night comes
When the night comes

I know there'll be a time for you and I
Just take my hand and run away
Think of all the pieces of the shattered dream
We're gonna make it out some day
We'll be coming back
Coming back to stay
When the night comes

I wanna be the one you run to
When the night comes
To be the one you'd come to
I wanna be the one you run to
Ooh
I just wanna be the one you run to
Wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there for someone
When the night comes
Let's put all the cares behind us
And go where they'll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you
When the night comes
When the night comes
Ah ah when the night comes
When the night rolls down
Ah ah when the night comes
I wanna be with you
Ah ah when the night comes
Oh ah when the night comes in
Ah ah oh
Ah ah when the night comes
When the night comes
Ah ah when the night comes
I wanna be right by your side
Ah ah when the night comes
Yes baby
Ah ah oh
Don't do that to me woman
Ah ah oh
Ever stayed when the night time gets in here
Ah ah when the night comes
I wanna rise and up in the
When the night comes
Ah ah when the night comes
Ah ah oh
Love me

. . .


Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world, few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive

The road is long, there are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, up where the clear winds blow

Some hang on to "used to be"
Live their lives, looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our life, out there to find

The road is long, there are mountains in our way,
But we climb them a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, up where the clear winds blow

Time goes by
No time to cry
Life's you and I
Alive, today

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, up where the clear winds blow

. . .


In my life
I've seen sorrow
Heartache and pain
I've been burned by the sunshine
And drowned in pouring rain
Had too many lovers
And enough love
I've been trialed and convicted
For things I'm not guilty of
I was locked in a prison
Till you came and set me free
So how can you say
You're no good for me

Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say, anyway
Now that the magic has gone
There's no sense in holding on
Baby now, now that the magic is gone

You know love can be tender
Love can be cruel
It can smile like an angel
While it treats you just like a fool
it captures and haunts you
Until you give in
And it stats the dice against you
in a game you never can win
Just when I was thinking
Maybe luck was here with me
You're telling me it's over
Say it's time for breaking free

Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say
Anyway baby
Now that magic has gone
There's no sense in holding on
Baby now
Now that the magic has gone

I won't try to hold you down
My mind tells me let go
But my heart keeps asking how
There's no prices for the loser
Only the winner takes the purse
Some say that love is a blessing
But to me it's just a curse

Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say
Ain't it babe
Now that the magic has gone
There's no sense in holding on
Baby, now that the magic has gone
Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say

. . .


Oh oh
I thought I'd see you smile
When I walked in the door
Thought those arms of yours would be open wide
The way they were before
Why do you look at me
Like I'm some stranger now
Why do you pull away
When you used to hold me so tight

Don't you love me anymore
Have your learned to live your life without me
Don't you love me, anymore
When did the fire go out
Where did the feeling go
Did it slip away when I wasn't there
Baby now I've come home
I thought you'd want me babe
I was so sure you'd ask me to to stay
I thought you'd need this too
Guess it didn't work out that way

Don't you love me anymore
Have you learned to live your life without me
Don't you love me anymore
Darling
When did the fire go out
Where did the feeling go
Why do you pull away
When you used to hold me so close baby
Don't you love me anymore
Have your learned to live your life without me
Don't you love me anymore
Don't you love me anymore
Have your learned to live your life without me

. . .


It's so cold on this balancing beam
I lose my breath each time I scream
All the time that it takes on this cliff
I simply wish that you were here
I must be in love with you
Be in love with you
Be in love with you
I must be in love with you
I think you're the reason
I can see the water
I don't feel so lonely
That I hear the river
On a night like tonight in the park
I sit alone out in the dark
On the days I'm waiting for you
It seems that
Water must break through
I must be in love with you
Yes be in love with you
I can hear the river
I can see the water
I must be in love with you
When I'm near the river
I see the bridges
I can feel the morning
I can almost touch you
When I'm near the river
Be in love with you
I can hear the river
Can see the water
I don't feel so lonely
When I'm near the river
I hear the river tide
Now that I feel the morning
I don't feel so lonely
When I'm near the river
Hear the tide

. . .


What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there
What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

. . .


This ain't no place for losers
Or the innocent of mind
It's a full time job
For anyone, to stay alive
The streets have shallow boundaries
For the war that's everyone
What a wasteland for
Broken dreams and hired guns
Shelter me, baby shelter me
When I'm sitting like I'm losing ground
Shelter me
I've gone to sleep
But when I open
The other goes my tears
In the darkness
I can I can hide my heart
But non of my fears
In the morning
Like a soldier
I look closed up battleground
Another day
Another part of me
And the world goes round
Shelter me
Won't you shelter me
When I'm sitting like I'm losing ground
Shelter me
Won't you shelter me
Oh, shelter me
When I lose control
Of my own home
Shelter me
Everytime time I tumble down
I want to pack it up and leave this town
But when I finally get the nerve
Get cleared out of the shoes
I'm thanking you
I'm thanking you
Baby shelter me
Please shelter me
When I'm sitting down, and losing ground
Shelter me
Won't you shelter me
When I lose control
Am I alone
Shelter me
Won't you shelter me
Oh, shelter me
Baby please
Oh, shelter me
Stay back and shelter me
Come on and shelter me
When I lose control
Am I alone
Shelter me

. . .


I saw you
That was all I had to see
Why don't you
Had to have you next to me
From that moment
I knew that you'd be all I'd ever need
And there's a place inside my heart
Nobody's touched before
And when I found you
I found all that I'd been searching for
You turned my world around

All I know
Is that it feels like forever
All I know
Yes I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never wanna see it slip away
I'll never let you go
Is all I know

Hold me
Love is you trust in me
Is telling me
Let's put our hearts and hands and faith
Time will tell us
If what we've got was worth the wait
And there's a fire that's been burning deep inside of me
And I don't need nobody else
'Cause now you're here with me
You've turned my world around

All I know
That it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go
Is all I know

I might have never met you
At another time or place
Never I never could forget you
I could never walk away
That's all I know
'Cause there's a place inside my heart
Nobody's touched before
And when I found you
I found all that I'd been searching for
You've turned my world around

All I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go

All I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go
It's all I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together

The night gang started working
With a mile of southern road
As I watched
I got to thinking
You ain't never coming home
I looked out of nowhere
There was nobody at all
To get me help
To get through to you

I'm here making night calls
Night calls
Making night calls
Night calls
Making night calls
I gave

I tried too hard to reach you
But you must be moving fast
All my hopes about the future
Will just live on
Into the past
You know that it ain't easy
And the twilight starts to fade
Shouldn't you
The chill of the morning
Thinking of the plans we made

Oh, night calls
Making night calls
Let it ring
The night calls
Making night calls
Oh, night calls
Give up those night calls

. . .


I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't find the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal

. . .


Are you still that little girl who used to talk to me?
Just look how far we've come in this world

where did you think we'd be?
You think the world wakes up at noon

and you left it all behind

You hear the music but you've lost the tune

the melodies are hard to find.

Why did you go away
leaving me alonez
There's nothing left to say
now that you're gone -
Now that you're gone - now that you're gone.

In the eyes of the woman I see
you were lust a child

Not the one who's walking the streets

not the one who's running wild.
Say life has changed that much
you don't want to know
All the love we shared in this world
not so long ago.

Why did you go away
leaving me alone? . . .
Why did you go away
leaving me all alone? . . .
Now that you're gone
now that you're gone.

. . .


You made me need you
Need you so bad
Would you believe
And never so mad, oh yeah
Double cross me once, and never cross me again
Now you're running 'round looking for some sympathy
Well you know as well as I that we're history

You're lucky, I'm a civlized man
You're lucky, I'm a civilized man
Oh yeah, a civilized man

A poison arrow, right from the start
Right down to zero, you went for my heart
Oh yeah
You've been hoo doo, voodoo
Start the fire again
Now you ask me to forget all you've brought me to
When you know as well as I you've got it coming to you

You're lucky, I'm a civlized man
You're lucky, I'm a civilized man
Oh yeah, a civilized man

You've been hoo doo, voodoo
Start the fire again
Now you're running 'round looking for some sympathy
Well you know as well as I that we're history

You're lucky, I'm a civlized man
You're lucky, I'm a civilized man
Oh you're so lucky baby
For I'm a civilized boy
Oh yeah
That's what I am, oh

. . .


When a woman cries
When a woman cries
She can wash your world away
When stars fill her eyes
When stars fill her eyes
You'll never know just what to say
Don't say a word
Don't say anything
She don't need your truth or lies
Just hold her close and love her
When the woman cries
When a woman cries
When a woman cries
There is no sadder song
So you apologize
You apologize
Even if you don't know that you've done wrong
But if you really want to make her happy
To stop her sobbing and her sound
Just hold her close and love
When the woman cries
Just don't waste your time thinking
Of the right thing to say
Just put your arms around her
Till the clouds are all away
When a woman cries
When a woman cries
She can tear your world apart
When stars fill her eyes
When stars fill her eyes
It can break a poor man's soul
And if you find that you are crying too
Don't let it come as no surprise
Just hold her close and love her
When your woman cries
When the woman cries
When the woman cries
She can tear your world apart
When stars fill her eyes
When stars fil her eyes
It can break a poor man's heart
When that woman
When that woman cries
That girl can wash your world away

. . .
