Michael Bolton Album

Spent the last year the Rocky Mountain way
Couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture, I think it's safe to say
It's time to open fire
'Cause we don't need the ladies
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad, oh no
And the Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had

Tellin' us this and tellin' us that
Changin' it day by day
He says it doesn't matter
Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat
Changin' it play by play
It's time to change the batter
'Cause we don't need the ladies
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad, oh no
And the Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had

Spent the last year, the Rocky Mountain way
Couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture, I think it's safe to say
It's time to open fire
'Cause we don't need the ladies
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad, oh no
And the Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had

Rocky Mountain way

Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, oh yes it is
'Cause I got the real love
The kind that you need
So you'll come runnin' back
That you'll come runnin back
You'll come runnin' back to me

Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, oh yes it is, baby
'Cause you always said
That you want to be free
But you'll come runnin' back
You'll come runnin' back
You'll come runnin' back to me, to me

Go ahead, go ahead and lie to me, baby
And do anything that you wanna do
And I told ya, ya know I told ya so many times before
You're gonna come back, baby
You're gonna come back
Knockin' at my door

Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, oh yes it is
'Cause I got the real love
The kind that you need
So you'll come runnin' back
That you'll come runnin' back
You'll come runnin' back to me, to me, to me

Oh, time is on my side
You know it is

Oh will someone tell me
What it is I feel
Whatever it is
I know it can't be real
'Cause your love
Is turning me around
I know I'm lost
But I don't wanna be found

Oh, no, I don't believe in love
Honey, I don't believe in love

If I was wise, I'd be on my way
I wanna leave, but I know
I'm gonna stay
'Cause your love is making me lazy
come on inside, Darlin'
Drive me crazy

Oh, no, I don't believe it
I don't believe in love
Honey, I don't believe in love

Is it right, baby, is it wrong
All i know is what I've been hearing so long
I got this feeling and it's much too strong
Baby, it's much too strong
Much too strong

You're everything I ever would need
But what are you doing mama, let me be
'Cause your love is burning like fire
You are my one and only desire

Oh, I don't believe it, I don't believe it
I said, I don't believe in love
Oh, 'cause your love is much too strong
'Cause your love is much too strong

I don't believe it, I don't believe in love
I don't believe it, just don't believe in love

Feelin' better, now that we're through
Feelin' better, 'cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
But now I see how you really are

CHORUS
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good, baby you're no good
I'm gonna tell you again
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good, baby you're no good

I broke her heart, gentle and true
I broke her heart, over someone like you
I'll beg forgiveness, on bended knee
But I won't blame her, if she says to me

CHORUS
I'm tellin' you now baby
That I'm going my way
Forget about you baby
I'm on my way

CHORUS
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good, baby you're no good

Baby, oh baby, you're no good
You're no good, you're no good

It's not the tape this song is recorded on
It's not the way it ought to be done
It's not the words that the singer is singin'
It's not the way the music is played
I know it's nothin' new
'Cause it's all been done before

It's just a feelin' baby
A feelin', oh yeah, a feelin' baby
It's just a feelin'
That's all it's been
That's all it's ever been

It's not the things you say to me
When we're alone and the lights are low
It's not the smile on your face in the morning
Baby, that keeps me comin' home to you at night
Don't understand what it does
But your love comes shinin' through

It's just a feelin', baby
It's a feelin', oh
Oh, a feelin' baby
It's a feelin' that keeps me coming back
I want to tell you right now

Nothing is going to change, baby
When your love, your love comes through
It's just a feelin', baby
A feelin', oh, feelin' baby
Just a feelin' baby, ooh
It's just a feelin', it's just a feelin' baby

Woman, you don't understand
Oh, I'm just a man
Baby, that's all I am
That's all I have ever been
And you, you don't understand
Oh, I've gotta live

You make it so hard to do
you know you hurt me, baby
Take me, take me as I am
Take me as I am, Baby
Ooh, ooh, take me as I am

All I believe is that you've taken me
For some kind of dream
I don't want to wait too long
For my love is in the way to see it
I don't wanna lose you, baby
But your love is in the way

Ya gotta listen
It's time to listen to me
You, you don't realize
Oh, I've gotta live
You make it so hard to bear
It may be hard for me to go on

And I know, I know, I know
You'll understand
I'm just a man, baby
That's all I am
Don't make it hard on me

Just take me, take me as I am, baby
Take me as I am, baby
Take me as I am, oh
Take me as I am, Baby
Oh, take me as I am now

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere

These eyes, cry every night for you
These arms, they long to hold you again
The hurtin's on me
And I will never be free, no
Gave a promise to me
Then you broke it, and you broke it

These eyes, watched you bring my world to an end
This heart, just could not accept and pretend
The hurtin's on me
I will never be free, no
You took a vow with me
And you spoke it, when you spoke it

CHORUS
These eyes, are cryin'
These eyes have seen alot of love
But they're never gonna see another
One like I had with you
(Repeat X2)

These eyes, watched you bring my world to an end
This heart, just could not accept and pretend

CHORUS X2
These eyes, cry every night for you
These eyes

If I had my way
Fly into the air
You know I would
And if I had my way
Fly without a care
You know I would
And if I had your love
If I only had your love
There'd be no if I had's at all

If there was a road
Travel down that road
To get to you
If there was a mountain
You know I'd climb that mountain, too
'Cause if I had your love
If I only had your love
There's be no if I had's at all

If I had your love
If I only had your love
There'd be no if I had's at all
There'd be no if I had's at all
If I had your love
If I only had your love
If I had your love
If I only had your love

Lost in the city
I'm movin' around
To the sound of the song
I've been...living

High altitudes mixed
With wrong attitudes
Make me wonder
Just what I've been...giving
Why has it taken so long
Tell me where I belong

Ooh ooh
Love can open the door
Through these eyes I see
And love has opened this heart
For me

See you, I see you fly high
All above all of this
Makes me miss home
And the freedom

I've known for so long
Why has it taken so long
Tell me where I went wrong
Ooh ooh
