Pat Benatar Album

You say you'll always be there
But I know you won't
You say you love me, you swear
But I know you don't

[Chorus]

I got better things I can do ya know
Than waste all of my time on you
Why don't you just go

You say I got it all wrong
That everything's changed
But I know where I belong
It's far, far away

[Chorus]

Pick yourself up, get yourself moving
Don't turn around, just keep on going
There's nothing you can say
To change my mind today
There's only one thing left to do
I guess you'll have to go
You say you're a different man
But you know that's a lie
The truth is gonna set you
Free and so am I

I remember the night
When destiny finally found us
I remember holding on
When the stars were crashin' all around us
We thought that the world was ending
But you know it wasn't true
‘Cause I still love you
I still love you

[Chorus]

I'll be brave for you
And every day I pray for you
We can be strong in each other's arms
And I'll be brave, I'll be brave for you

I know that you're afraid
You know that I'm afraid, too
But you gotta have faith; you gotta listen
To what your heart is telling you
You know love's a funny thing
You just gotta let it be
Like you and me; you and me

[Chorus]

Just look at the sky above us
Let the sun shine down on us
Stand with me here together
In the light of love now

I was there when you cried like a baby
When you thought that maybe
Things weren't goin' your way
I was there when you asked me
Just ‘cause you asked me and I didn't hesitate

Now that I need you, you turn away
Like I was nothing, like it was a big mistake
Come on baby, you know it ain't right
Tell me how do you sleep at night?

[Chorus]

I won't behave, sit quietly by while you take
Everything that I keep inside of me
I won't be still, Oh no, not I
‘Cause there's no way that I'd stay here
I'd rather die than love you
I'd rather die than love you
You know that I would rather die

It isn't fair to take someone's heart
Tear it apart, use it like you don't care
How does it feel to be hurt
It's gonna get worse
It's gonna get ugly, I swear

How many tears can one person cry
How much is enough
When's it time to say goodbye
Come on baby, you know it ain't right

You think that you're the second coming
Sorry to say it doesn't do it for me
Must be a drag when you're so stunning
In all that you are
And all that you hope to be

[Chorus]

You can have it all, take it all
Break it all, forsake it all
Want it all, choose it all
Use it with no stake at all
Keep it all, trash it all
Lead it just like sheep it all
Hate it all, love it all, and still
You'll have nothing
Yeh, yeh

You think that you can walk on water
Better be careful, it gets mighty deep
I'd be afraid of what my thoughts were
You never know who'd be willing
To take that leap

[Chorus]

When you look in the mirror
Do you see any clearer
Or are you blinded
By your own vision
Or have you ever thought
That maybe you were wrong
Or do you just reside
In your illusion

I remember when you loved me
I remember the way it used to be
Then you hurt me and I hurt you
We were fools, as foolish as fools can be
Even if you go I will still remain

[Chorus]

Here you make me bleed again
When I'm already drownin'
And out here where the air is thing
There's just no mercy
Maybe we could try again
Put the past behind us
And we'd be ready to pretend
And say we're sorry

I remember when you loved me
I remember how good it used to feel
Then we let it just slip away
We were dreamers
Pretending it wasn't real
Even if you go I will still remain
I will wait for you until you return
Even if you go I will still remain

[Chorus]

You'll miss me yes, you will
You won't know how much ‘til I'm gone
Like the sweet memory of something you used to love
That can't be found that's not around

Even if you go I will still remain here
You make me bleed again
When I'm already drownin'
And out here where the air is thin
There's just no mercy
Maybe we could start again
Put the past behind us
And we'd be ready to pretend
And say we're sorry…

I sit by my window, watch the clouds go by
Every moment is a one that I'm
Crying my heart out cause I'm not there with you
I feel like a fool I've got so much shame
I know I should just walk away
But what will I do with all this pain I feel for you

Please don't leave me
Not this time
I don't think I can survive it
I'll have nothing
Not even my pride
So please don't leave me
Not this time

So many nights I lay in bed
I stare at the place where you laid your head
I wonder who's lying with you instead of me
I can't make you feel it if it isn't there
No way to convince you if you just don't care
Look in your heart maybe you could spare a place for me

Please don't leave me
Not this time
I don't think I can survive it
I'd have nothing
Not even my pride
So please don't leave me
Not this time

You made your point
It's clear to me
There's somewhere else you'd rather be
But I can't bear the thought of life without you

I sit by my window, watch the clouds go by
But I can't bear the thought of life without you

Please don't leave me
Not this time
I don't think I can survive it
I'd have nothing
Not even my pride
So please don't leave me
Not this.
Please don't leave me
Not this time
I don't think I can survive it
I'd have nothing
Not even my pride
So please don't leave me

Do you like the way it feels when you get hurt?
Maybe you should take a long hard look at your self-worth
There's an emptiness inside
It started many years ago
You always try to fill it up
It's a familiar place you go
One day you'll just have to wake up, girl

[Chorus]

You know you got a lot to learn
You've got to do it for yourself
Find your own direction, don't rely on someone else
You got to know it in your heart
You've got to build it up with love, it isn't hard to rise above
Wake up, you don't wanna make up
You've got to do it for yourself

I know it feels sometimes that loneliness is worse
And with every change there comes a melancholy search
Now you can walk away from this
It doesn't have to bring you down
Have faith in destiny you what goes around, comes around
You don't have to stay and take it, girl

[Chorus]

Got nowhere to run
Got nowhere to hide
These changes will come if you just open your eyes
Got nowhere to run
Got nowhere to hide

You gotta do it for yourself
You gotta know it in your heart

It began as a summer just like the rest
Hopeful and filled with emotion
Lovers enjoying their sweet conquests
Pledging undying devotion
He felt the warm winds encircle his heart;
Softly, gently caressing all of his being
Every part, his love for her was unending

She was all that he dreamed of all of his life
For her there was no other
Happy were they as man and wife
Happy were they that summer
But all that it seemed was not meant to be,
The world was lost in indifference
And what began as a small incident ended up as hell
Then without warning all that they knew
Everything they'd been together was taken away,
Swift and cruel on that terrible night in summer

Out of the ruins he called her name
Echoing over and over
Silently waiting, but no one came
Out of the ruins that summer

But all that it seemed was not meant to be
The world was lost in indifference
And what began as a small incident ended up as hell
Out of the ruins he walked alone
Empty and broken forever
With nothing left but the sweet memory

I have been here in this lonely place
Longer than I care to think or say
Hopin' with a little luck
Maybe I'd find someone like you

I have watched you nearly every morning
Gettin' your coffee, stretchin', yawnin'
Doin' all the little things you do
To start your day

[Chorus 1]
In my dreams I hold your hand
Lay my cheek close to yours
And hold back as long as I can
Feel the sweet sting of your kiss as our lips combine

I know that you've seen me, too
Once you smiled when I looked at you
I wonder if you thought about me
The way I thought of you

Maybe I just make too much of passing glances
Fleeting touches, maybe I'm a dreamer
Maybe so are you

[Chorus 2]

In my dreams I hold you close
Love you the way that I'd hope
Say what you already know
In my dreams I pretend

Why do I have these thoughts go through my head
Do they come out of the air
Suspicion always washes over me like a disease
I cannot share I can't ignore the way you treated me sometimes
So go ahead and convince me otherwise

[Chorus]

Tell me it's okay, that everything's fine
Show me that it's possible not to cry, swear that you'll
Never leave and you'd rather die than hurt me
Just tell me that everything's gonna be fine

Give me a reason why I should stay
One I won't regret in the end
This time say something I can believe
Something you haven't used yet
I can't ignore the way you treated me sometime
So go ahead and convince me otherwise

[Chorus]

So many empty words were spoken here today
So many promises I'd like to dream away
Like verses whispered in some ancient ritual
That accusations fly, but we are no closer to the truth

[Instrumental]

I see them everyday; they're like shadows
Tryin' to run from the pain
But you know the pain, it always follows
So there's nowhere to go, not really

Sometimes I want to touch them
Try and set them free
But I'm afraid I might know them
Or they will recognize me

Where do they go? The brokenhearted
Do they travel alone when they carry that weight
Do they disappear without a trace
Look into the eyes of those who know
Can you tell me, where do they go?

Is there a place that they go to
That's for them alone
Where memories are sacred
And heartache has no home
I see them here in the moonlight
Searching for a sign
That love is out there waiting
Waiting for the right time

Where do they go? The brokenhearted

Do they travel alone when they carry that weight
Do they try to return to where they started
Do they disappear without a trace
Look into the eyes of those who know
Can you tell me where do they go?
The power of love gives them strength to carry on

It's Christmas in America
There's carols in the air
The snow falling on the ground
There's holly everywhere
The people they're all different too
Their troubles put aside
They smile a little brighter
It seems at Christmas time

It's Christmas in America
Let the angels sing
It's Christmas in America
Let freedom ring
Let peace resound throughout the world
Especially on this day
It's Christmas in America
God bless the USA

The kids get so excited
Preparing for the day
Their letters to Santa have all been sent
The cookies have been baked
The creche under the Christmas tree
Awaits the baby child
It seems to mean so much more this year
Than it has in a while

Coz It's Christmas in America
Let the angels sing
It's Christmas in America
Let freedom ring
Let peace resound throughout the world
Especially on this day
It's Christmas in America
God bless the USA

So keep your babies close tonight
Hug your husband, kiss your wife
Be thankful for this way of life,
We're fortunate to share
And not forget the ones we've lost
Their memory lives on in our hearts
They'll be forever in our thoughts
And always in our prayers
Unto this world a child is born
His gift was meant for everyone
The light of peace shines on and on
And never fades away
America, America indivisible we are
One nation under God
And that will never change

Coz It's Christmas in America
Let the angels sing
It's Christmas in America
Let freedom ring
Let peace resound throughout the world
Especially on this day
It's Christmas in America
God bless the USA
It's Christmas in America
