Michael Bolton Album

Talk about love, talk about trust
Talkin' 'bout forever baby
When I'm talkin' 'bout us
I give you my word, stick to my guns
Believe when I tell ya baby
That we've just begun

You don't understand, no
The full intent of my plan

CHORUS:
I wanna be your soul provider
I wanna stay that way
For the longest time
I wanna be, your soul provider
Just say you'll let me
And darlin' I will

I know you've been hurt, I know you're love shy
You don't have to say it baby
It's gonna take some time
Ya got my heart, in the palm of your hand
Swear it's gonna stay there baby
Give me half a chance

You don't understand
The full intent of my plan

I've been waitin' for a long time for somebody like you
To give my love, all my love day and night
Just say you'll be mine for the rest of your life
Baby I'll show you why

Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Talking 'bout Georgia
I'm in Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight
Through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Georgia, sweet Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back
It always leads back to you

I'm in Georgia, Georgia, sweet Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old sweet song
Keeps Georgia forever on my mind
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia forever on my mind

I've been down, I've been weak
And I've lost enough sleep over you
It's gonna take me some time
But I've made up my mind
I'll get through

I'm gonna learn to carry on now
'Cause I'm determined to be strong now
Don't worry, don't worry
It's gonna be alright
Don't worry, don't worry
It's not the end of my life

CHORUS
It's only my heart, breakin' inside me
It's only love, that's all it is
I won't beg, I won't plead
Won't get down on my knees for you
It's only my heart, it's only my heart

I'm not missing your touch
I don't hurt half as much as before
If I call you I swear
It don't mean that I care anymore
Just keep your love 'cause I don't need it
Wish I could make myself believe it
Don't worry, don't worry
Don't you be concerned
Don't worry, don't worry
It's not the end of my world

CHORUS

I could hardly believe it
When I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leavin'
Someone's swept your heart away
From the look upon your face, I see it's true
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the
plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go

CHORUS:
Tell me how am I suppose to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I suppose to live without you
How am I suppose to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone

I didn't come here for cryin'
Didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
And how can I blame you
When I build my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much
more than friends
And I don't wanna know the price I'm
gonna pay for dreaming
When even now it's more than I can take

CHORUS:

(bridge)
And I don't wanna face the price I'm
gonna pay for dreaming

CHORUS:
How can we be lovers if we can't be friends
How can we start over when the fighting never ends
Baby, how can we make love if we can't make amends
Tell me how we can be lovers if we can't be,
can't be friends

Look at us now, look at us baby
Still tryin' to work it out
Never get it right
We must be fools, we must be crazy
Whoa, whoa, when there's no
communication
Whao, Whoa, it's a no win situation

CHORUS:

We lie awake, this wall between us
We're just not talking, we got so much to say
Let's break these chains, our love can free us
Whoa, Whoa, ain't it time we started tryin'
Whoa, whoa, gotta stop this love from dying

CHORUS:

Baby, love is tough but we can take it
Baby, times are rough but we can make it
We can work it out

So now you're back
So you've had your fun
And now you're comin' 'round 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

CHORUS
Cuz you wouldn't know love
If it knocked down your door
You wouldn't know it now
You never knew it before
If it fell in your hands from the
heavens above
You wouldn't know love
No, you wouldn't know love

You say you've changed
Say you've done me wrong
But you won't do it anymore
No darlin' I don't have to tell you
Where I heard that line before
Baby you'd say anything to get back
into my heart
But when it comes to lovin', you don't
even know where to start

CHORUS

Did you think I'd believe anything
that you'd say
Let you come back to me
Baby there's just no way
Baby I've had enough
You wouldn't know love

CHORUS

Gonna break these chains around me
Gonna learn to fly again
May be hard, may be hard
But I'll do it
When I'm back on my feet again

Soon these tears will all be dryin'
Soon these eyes will see the sun
Might take time, might take time
But I'll see it
When I'm back on my feet again

CHORUS:
When I'm back on my feet again
I'll walk proud down this street again
And they'll all look at me again
And they'll see that I'm strong

Gonna hear the children laughing
Gonna hear the voices sing
Won't be long, won't be long
Till I hear them
When I'm back on my feet again

Gonna feel the sweet light of heaven
Shining down its light on me
One sweet day, one sweet day
I will feel it
When I'm back on my feet again

CHORUS:

And I'm not gonna crawl again
I will learn to stand tall again
No I'm not gonna fall again
Cos I'll learn to be strong

Soon these tears will all be dryin'
Soon these eyes will see the sun
Won't be long, won't be long
Till I see it
When I'm back on my feet again
When I'm back on my feet again

(duet with Suzie Benson)

( Michael )
You always said I'd never know how much I loved you
Until it was too late to make you stay
I know it looked as though I took our love for granted
That doesn't mean I wasn't feeling all the things
I meant to say

( Suzie )
And who was I always asking so much of you
To make you prove your love time after time
Until I found myself living my life without you
How could I have been so foolish, how could
I be so blind

CHORUS
( Michael&Suzie )
From now on I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
I don't want to wait until our time has come and gone
I'm gonna hold you now more than ever
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you, from now on

We both know it's true, when we're open to each other
There's a love we'll never find with someone else
And if we give it half a chance we'll be starting over
So let me make your heart believe what I've been
promising myself

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Baby, there'll be no distance between us
Oh, this time I know we're gonna make it
together where we belong

CHORUS

You're knockin' on my door
Say ya want me back again
Say ya wanna try once more
But a broken heart don't mend

Wasn't all that long ago
You swore that we were through
Don't know what you want from me
Don't know what I need from you

First you feel the pain
Then you start to cry
When someone breaks your heart
Just makes you wanna die

Ya feel you can't go on
Can't face another day
Until the hurt is gone
Love cuts you deep that way

I remember I gave my heart completely
I remember the lesson that you taught me

CHORUS
Love cuts deep, baby, love cuts deep
And it leaves a scar
Right across your heart

First you feel the pain
Then you start to cry
When someone breaks your heart
Love cuts you deep inside

I used to call your name
But you were never there
And now you came to me
Expecting me to care

I remember the words you once said to me
Like a knife, those words just cut right through me

CHORUS

You give your heart to somebody
You give your soul to someone
You love somebody, you love somebody
And they're gone, gone, gone

You gave your heart to somebody
You gave your soul to someone
You loved somebody, you loved somebody
And they're gone, gone
Somebody finally taught you

CHORUS

Baby, we've been in and out of love so many times
We keep reaching the end of the line
And giving up on each other
And darling, I don't think we can survive one
more good-bye
Can't cry one more tear or lie one more lie
We got one last chance to make it
But that's all we need if we just take it

CHORUS
Baby, we gotta stand up for love
Gotta hold on
'Cause I know what we got is worth
fighting for
And I know for sure, right or wrong
This is where we belong
Baby, this time we gotta stand up for love
Stand together
Can't settle for less than forever
I know there's nothing we can't rise above
If we just stand up for love

Baby, after everything we put each other
through
And no matter what damage we do
We still need one another
And sometimes when I hold you in my arms
somehow I see
As bad as we've been that's how good we can be
But we can't just say we want it
Gotta lay all our tomorrows on it

CHORUS

For all the dues we've paid
The magic we two have made
For all we've meant to one another
Once and for all we've gotta stand up
for each other

Baby, we gotta stand up for love
Gotta hold on
'Cause we know what we got is worth
fighting for
And we know for sure, right or wrong
Baby, this time we gotta stand up for love
Now or never
Can't settle for less than forever
I know there's nothing we can't rise above
If we just stand up for love
