Baby Jane

Back
(Stewart, Davis)

Baby Jane don't leave me hanging on the line
I knew you when you had no one to talk to
Now you're moving in high society
don't forget I know secrets about you
I used to think you were on my side
but now I'm no longer sure
I wish I knew what I know now before

When I give my heart again
I know it's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it's gonna last forever

Baby Jane don't it make you feel sad
just when I thought that we were winning
You and I were so close in every way
don't time fly when you're loving and laughing
I've said goodbye so many times
the situation ain't all that new
Optimism's my best defense
I'll get through without you

When I give my heart again
I know it's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it's gonna last forever
I won't be that dumb again
I know it's gotta last forever
When I fall in love again
I know it's gonna last forever

Baby Jane I've said all I want to say
go your own way don't think twice about me
Cause I've got ideas and plans of my own
so long darlin' I'll miss you believe me
The lesson learned was so hard to swallow
but I know that I'll survive
I'm gonna take a good look at myself and cry

When I give my heart again
I know it's gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it's gonna last forever
When I fall in love next time
I know it's gonna last forever
I won't be that dumb again
I know it'll last forever


Some guys Have All The Luck

Back

Some Guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain

Alone in a crowd on a bus after work and I'm dreaming
The guy next to me has a girl in his arms
My arms are empty
How does it feel
When the girl next to you says she loves you
Feels so unfair
When there's love everywhere
And there's none for me (Repeat *)

Someone to take
On a walk by the lake
Lord, let it be me
Someone who's shy
Someone who'd cry at sad movies
I know I would die if I ever found you
You was fooling me
You're just a dream
And as real as it seems
I ain't that lucky (Repeat *)

All of my friends have a ring on their finger
They've someone
Someone to care for them
It ain't fair
I've got no one
The car overheated
I called up and pleaded
There's help on the way
I called you collect
You did not accept
You had nothing to say (Repeat *)

But if you were here with me
I'd feel so happy I could cry
You are so dear to me
I just can't let you say goodbye



You're In My Heart

Back

I didn't know what day it was when you walked into the room
I said 'hello' unnoticed; you said goodbye too soon
Breezin' thr' the clientele, spinnin yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here, that the attraction was purely physical
I took all those habits of yours, which in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense for Beardsley prints, I put down to experience
The redheaded lasy with a dutch accent who tried to change my point of view
Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed, but my heart poured out for you


You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend. You're in my soul

My love for your is immeasurable, my respect for you: immense
You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness, you're beauty and elegance
You're rhapsody, a comedy, you're a symphony and a play
You're every love song ever written, but honey what do you see in me? (Repeat *)

You're an essay in glamour. Please pardon the grammar,
but you're every schoolboy's dream
You're Celtic united, but aby I've decided you're the best team I've ever seen
And there have been many a day, many times I thought to leave
But I bite my lip and turn around,
cause you're the warmest thing I ever found (Repeat * twice)


I Don't Want To Talk About It

Back

I can tell by your eyes that you probably been cryin' forever
And the stars in the sky told me nothing, to you they're a mirror

I don't wanna talk about it, how you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen
To my heart, oh heart?

If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the colours of my heart
blue for the tears, black for the night's fears?
The stars in the sky told me nothing, to you they're a mirror (Repeat * twice)


First Cut Is The Deepest

Back

I would have given you all of my heart
but there's someone who's torn it apart
And she's taken just all that I have
but if want to try to love again
Baby, I try to love again, but I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know, the first cut is the deepest
And it come to being lucky she's curst
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
I still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that I've cry
and I'm sure gonna give you a try
but if you wanna try to love again
Baby, I try to love again, but I know (Repeat *)

The first cut is the deepest
baby I know, the first cut is the deepest
And it comes to being lucky she's curst
when it come to lovin' me she's worst


When I Need You

Back

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heartbeat away

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Miles and miles of empty space in btween us
The telephone can;t take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be travelin' forever
It's cold out, but hold out, and do I like I do (Repeat *)

It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey theat's heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do


Oh, I need you

When I need you
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day (Repeat)

I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hand
And i'm with you darling
Yes, I'm with you darling

All I wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away
Oh I need you darling



Tonight's The Night

Back

Stay away from my window
Stay away from my backdoor, too
Disconnect the telephone line
RElax baby and draw the blind

Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Loosen off that pretty French gown
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby you don't hesitate, cause......

Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

C'mon angel my hearts on fire
Don't deny your man's desire
You'd be a fool to stop this tide
Spread your wings and let me come inside (Repeat *)

Don't say a word my virgin child
Just let your inhibitions run wild
The secret is about to unfold
Upstairs before the night's too old (Repeat *)


All For Love

Back

When it's love you give
I'd be a man love couldn't faith
The a love you live
I may go stand I won't break
I'd be the rock you can build on, yeah
Be there when you rode to have and to hold
When there's love inside
I swear I'll always be strong
Then there's a reason why
I prove to you we belong
I'll be the world that protects you, yeah
From the wind and the rain
From the hurt and the pain, yeah! hey!

Lets' make it all for one, and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want, the one you need
'Cause when it's over one, it's one for all
When there's someone that you know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love

When it's love you make
I'll be a fire in your night
Then it's love you take
I will defend, I will fight
I'll be there when you need me, yeah
When honours it's take
This power will make, yeah!

That it's all for one, and all for love, it's all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
The one you need
'Cause when it's all for one, it's one for all, yeah
When there's someone that you know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love

Don't lay our love to rest
'Cause we will stand up to the test
We got everything, and more, than we had planned
More than the rivers
That run the Land
We've got it all
In our hands, yeah

Now it's all for one, and all for love, it's all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
The one you need
'Cause when it's all for one, it's one for all, it's one for all
When there's someone that you know
Then just let your feelings show
When there's someone that you want
When there's someone that you need
Let's make it all, all for one
And all for love


Have I Told You Lately

Back

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

For the morning sun in all it's glory
Meets the day with hope and comfort too,
You fill my life with laughter, somehow you make it better
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

There's a love less defined
And its yours and its mine
Like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the One, to The One


Downtown Train

Back

Outside another yellow Moon
Has punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
I climb through the window and down the street Im
Shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
Full of all those Broooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

You wave your hand and they scatter like crowns
They have nothing that'll ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
Oh if I was the one
You chose to be your only one
Oh baby can't you hear me now
can't you hear me now

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
Every night
Every night its just the same
On a downtown train

I know your window and I know its late
I know your stairs and our doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light of the four way
You watch them as they fall
They all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival
But they'll never win you back

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
Everynight
Every night its just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
All my dreams
All my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
Every Night
Every night its just the same (Repeat *)
