Michael Bolton Album

And as I go my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your warmth, I need your tender touch
I need the love you know that I mess so much

My world is empty without you babe
My world is empty without you babe

From this whole world I try to hide my face
But from this loneliness there is no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house I dwell
Here in the darkness, that I know so well

My world is empty without you babe
My world is empty without you babe

I need your love now more than before
I can hardly carry on anymore

My mind and soul have felt like this
Since love between us no more exists
I need your warmth, I need your tender touch
I need the love ya know I miss so much

My world is empty without you babe
My world is empty without you babe

Good times they come and they go
Seems it's always been that way to me
And sometimes the feelings show
But it's not the way you want it to be
Love is more than holding on
And it's never too long
Before I've gotta be free

Well I know it, I do know it now
I learned a long time ago

CHORUS
Love is hard to find
Love is hard to find, yeah
Love is hard to find
Love is hard to find

Now love can last forever
And baby that's a long long time
When it comes, tomorrow can wait
You don't live in the past
Ya just leave it behind

Well I know it, I do know by now
I learned a long time ago

CHORUS

Oh yeah
Now I know it, I do know by now
I learned a long time ago

CHORUS

As I search this heart of mine
For words to tell you
If you give me time I swear
I'll find a way
How I've come to feel about you
I couldn't think of life without you
These words could never say

Like a fool I let my pride mislead me
In this world I call myself a man
But without your love to guide me
Who could ease the pain inside me
Somethin' only you could understand

CHORUS
Stay, please stay
Oh stay, please stay
'Cause I need you by my side
On this long and lonely ride
And there's so much I would give you
If you'd stay

So I search this heart of mine
For words to tell you
If you give me time I swear
I'll find a way
How I've come to feel about you
I couldn't think of life without you
What I'm feeling now
These words could never say

CHORUS
Stay, please stay
Oh stay, please stay
Oh, I need you by my side
On this long and lonely ride
And there's so much I would give you
If you'd stay
There is so much I would give you
If you'd stay
I've got so much love to give you
If you'd stay

Please stay

Are you ready? Say you'll let me
Take you for a ride
The night is young, it's just begun
Why don't you step inside
Get ready, get ready
We'll leave this place behind
You'll feel the airwaves answer
Every question in your mind

With every moment passing by
Who's got the time to wonder why
It's taken eternity

CHORUS
Airwaves(come and ride the airwaves)
Airwaves(tell me how you feel)
Airwaves(come and ride the airwaves)
It's alright, it's alright
You'll remember

Oh,yeah
There is a place where time and space
Will open every door
Revealing things beyond the dreams
We've ever known before

With every moment passing by
Who's got the time to wonder why
It's taking eternity

CHORUS

Oh it's alright
Airwaves
Airwaves
Airwaves

When it comes to giving you the best of me
I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't even have to try
When it comes to holding true
These words I say
I look at you, one look at you
How can I turn my head away

With the sound of your voice
Like the whispering wind
Don't you know I'll be there
When you call, anytime you call

CHORUS
Maybe it's the power of love
Maybe ya can feel it when you get enough
Maybe it's the power of love
I don't know

When it comes to needing you
I call your name
And you'll be there, you'll be right there
Shining through the pouring rain
When it comes to seeing through
The fool in me, the thing I found
One thing I've found
Lover, you never let me down

When the sound of your voice
Like the whispering wind
Lets me know you'll be there
When I call, anytime I call


CHORUS

Now it's ready or not
Boy, you better come on strong
Give it all you've got
'Cause they'll really turn the pressure on
And you find it strange
But it's so insane

When you know ya don't believe that
You're part of their game
The bell rings and you come out
Fightin' just the same, yeah

CHORUS
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah
It's alright, welcome to the world
It's alright, welcome to the world
It's alright, welcome to the world
Yeah

In the marketplace
Nobody's foolin' around
And ya keep the pace
Or they tell ya, buddy, please step down

There may be a smile
Or a shake of the hand
But it's policy to take you
Anyway they can
And it's everybody lookin' out
For number one, understand

CHORUS

It's alright, welcome to the world

There's something missing here and you know it
So why deny what you've been going through
You felt it coming though you tried not to show it
Facing a price you can no longer pay
It's time for a change in the plans you had made

CHORUS
Breakaway, oh, breakaway
From all your lying
Breakaway, oh, breakaway
From all your crying
Before it's too late, breakaway

Now you've got everything his money could buy you
And his affection still won't satisfy you
You need much more than his world would deny you
Caught in a dream that could never be real
Accepting the things you can no longer feel

CHORUS

Caught in a dream that can never be real
Accepting the things you can no longer feel

CHORUS

The people come from all around
And lay their precious money down
Satisfaction, guaranteed
No distractions, all you need
Spend a weekend in paradise
Try this on, it's very nice
You're having fun
Stick around and we'll sell you the sun

And soon ya learn to play the game
Ya lose ya win it's all the same
Catch your dream before it fades
And join the endless masquerade
Where pain relievers speak to you
A make believers dream come true
You learn so well
No one not even you can tell

CHORUS
But I really wanna know
But I really wanna know
But I really wanna know
And I've got no choice
Can ya tell me, what's goin' on

Now every game begins and ends
And though the player still pretends
In mausoleums, on painted walls
The tale of those who'd have it all
The slave of glory's lost demands
To always leave with empty hands
The conqueror
Tell me what have you come here for

CHORUS

This life it is your only friend
It's whispered in your ear
In a voice it seems like ages
You've been waiting so long just to hear
And suddenly the mystery, and
Meaning become so clear
Hold on yesterday's gone

CHORUS
Oh, I really wanna know
I really wanna know
I really wanna know
I really wanna know
And I've got no choice
Can you tell me, what's goin' on

[No lyrics]

Well you thought it was over
But that's not what she told me today
She said you and your pride
Man, you let it get in the way
And if things weren't bad enough
Well, she told me you were taking
Her love for granted, oh yeah

CHORUS
She wants you back, she wants you back
She wants you back, she wants you back
She wants you back, she wants you back
Again

Well you're in need of a friend
And believe me now I happen to be one
We can sit and pretend
But I know a good thing when I see one
Go to her and admit you were wrong
She'll be there 'cause she knows you belong together
Oh yeah

CHORUS

Go to her and admit you were wrong
She'll be there 'cause she knows you belong together
Oh yeah

CHORUS

Oh, she wants you back, she wants you back
She wants you back, she wants you back
She said she wants you back again

CHORUS
