John Waite Album

(J. Waite)

Give your love away
It's not the way you seem
Cause someone's just come in your life
And broken up your dreams
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see
And if my eyes are empty
Well that's the way I'm meant to be
What I got
Who am I
I got the world in a bottle
Oh oh
Whatever I once was
Is fading fast away
My soul is like a shadow
Growing fainter in the day
I've never loved you more
But you feel so out of reach
My life is like a sun
Sinking slowly in the beach
What I got
Who am I
I got the world in a bottle
Ooh oh
Come here
I want you
What I got
Who am I
I got the world in a bottle
What I got
Who am I
I got the world in a bottle
So give your love away
It's not the way you seem
Cause someone's just come in your life
And broken up your dreams
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see
And if my eyes are empty
Well that's the way I'm meant to be
What I got
Who am I
I got the world in a bottle
What I got
Somebody
Who am I

(J. Waite)

She's just a working girl from Baltimore
She'll choose you
She's been there
She's been there and back again
It's in and out

And you get what you need
When you walk on the streets of paradise
In vogue in the streets

In fashion
She'll take you home
She'll take you where you wanna get back to
You're sweet sixteen
But you'll be a man tonight
It's to the wall
It's to the floor
She's in a hurry
But you get what you pay for
When you live on the streets of paradise
In heat in vogue
Impassioned

(J. Waite, B. Brody)

I've been watching you now
I've been caught in these hours
Days are turning to nights
Out of where there's no
No rules for strangers
When I see you again
Will you still feel the same way
Understand
In your eyes
I can't get nothing right
All day
All night
Make it happen
Make me feel alright
All day
All night
Make it happen
Make me feel alright
Oh yeah
When I see you walk by
Turn my head wanna break down
I've been living alone
I've been living a lie
I get so scared of my fears
There's a space in my life
For just one time
Or baby forever
Understand
It's in your eyes
I can't get nothing right
All day
All night
Make it happen
Make me feel alright
All day
All night
Make it happen
Make me feel alright
I've been watching you now
And I've been living in a daydream
It's that I miss you so
Can't think of words
I break down
I've been lonely
When I see you again
Will you still feel the same way
Understand
In your eyes
I can't do nothing right
All day
All night
Make it happen
Make me feel alright
All day
All night
Make it happen
Make me feel alright
All day
All night
Make it happen
Make me feel alright
All day
Make it happen
Make me feel alright
All day
Make it happen
Alright
Make it happen
Yeah
Make it happen
Yeah

People talking
And they're saying that you're leaving
So unhappy
With the way that you've been living
Oh oh oh
We always wish for money
We always wish for fame
We think we have the answers
Some things ain't ever gonna change (change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will never change
Look in the mirror
And you see how you've been taken
You won't surrender
But now your heart is breakin'
Oh oh oh
We always wish for money
We always wish for fame
We think we have the answers
Some things ain't ever gonna change (change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will never change
Do you remember
When you got your lucky break
You're looking back now
And it seems like a mistake
Oh oh oh
We always wish for money
We always wish for fame
We think we have the answers
Some things ain't ever gonna change (change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will never change
It's only change (change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will never change
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will stay the same
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (what's in your heart)
It's only
It's only
It's only change
Never (it doesn't matter)
You ain't gonna
You ain't gonna change (what's in your heart)
You ain't gonna change
Doesn't matter who you are

(J. Waite, T. Pierce)

I can't play these games with you no more
I get my fingers caught inside the door
Now everything I say is just a joke
Spend my money now you leave me broke
Living someone's life in clear blue skies
Fairy tales and dreams and alibis
All you want from me are things for you
Use me til I don't know what to do
You live in your own world anyway
Twisting every single thing I say
In my hometown I feel out of place
Change my name and find a different face
You tell me
No more cool Mr. Wonderful
No more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal
It's driving me out of my mind
Yeah
I can hear the wolves outside the bar
Sometimes I don't know which one you are
Imitation's all that you accept
Shadows of myself that you once met
Bottles in the alley break and smash
Get into the car for one-car crash
You tell me
No more cool Mr. Wonderful
No more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal
It's driving me down
Driving me down to my knees
No more cool Mr. Wonderful
No more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal
It's driving me down to my knees
Mr. Wonderful
No more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal
It's driving me out of my mind
No more cool Mr. Wonderful
No more nice Mr. Clean
No more cool Mr. Ideal
Oh oh oh oh oh
No way Mr. Wonderful
No way
No way
Ideal
Wonderful
Ideal
Wonderful
Ideal

(J. Souther, D. Kortchmar)

In this world of right and wrong
The hardest part is beginning
By the time you find
where you belong
You're either losing or winning
Well I don't know how
But people seem to know
When you want somebody
bad enough
Well I want you now
and wherever you go
I'm gonna love ya till
you've had enough cause
If everyone had a heart
Yours would never be broken
If anybody had a heart like mine
People treat you like
the clothes you wear
They only see what you show them
Let them talk baby I don't care
They don't know where we're goin'
I love you so much
And I have for so long
How could anybody doubt it
Oh just one little touch
This love is so strong
Baby how can we live without it
If everyone had a heart
Yours would never be broken
If anybody had a heart like mine
When you love somebody
You may stumble you may fall
But if you love somebody hard enough
Maybe you can get it all
If everyone had a heart
Yours would never be broken
If anybody had a heart like mine
Anybody in the world
If everyone had a heart
Yours would never be broken
If anybody had a heart like mine
If anybody had a heart
If everyone had a heart
Yours would never be broken
If anybody had a heart like mine
If anybody had a heart

(John Waite/Mark Leonard/Charles Sanford)

Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
And I'm wondering why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter what I might say
There's a message in the wire
And I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning
Though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
And there's a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload

Chorus

And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I ain't missing you
