If I Can't Have You

Don't know why I'm surviving every lonely day
When there's got to be no chance for me
My life would end, and it doesn't matter how I cry
My tears of love are a waste of time if I turn away

Am I strong enought to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby

Can't let go, and it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it all so easily to you my love

Two dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby

Tell Me Why

Heading out to nowhere (late at night)
Melodies inside my head (spinning round and round)
City lies behind me (fast asleep)
The sweetest dreams escape me (they were so hard to keep)

Get me feeling so alive
I just can't keep it all inside
I'm winding up to something good
But I can't stop even though I know I should

Tell me why, tell me why

I won't change my style (no, not for anyone)
Just sit down and leave it for a while (until the damage is done)

Got me feeling so alive
I just can't keep it all inside
I'm winding up to something good
But I can't stop even though I know I should

Tell me why, tell me why

I could be anything that I wanted to be
I believe if I see what I wanted to see
And I know, yes, I know you told me that night

I was shown to the path that would lead to your heart
and to veer from that road it would tear us apart
And I know, yes I know, you told me so that night

Tell me why, tell me why

Let's Go The Reins

Chinese whispers hide under stones
Scratched my shoeshine when I go out alone
Who with who did we see yesterday
Name that name

Column inches that's all they want
Breakin headlines, the drown you in the font

Do you wanna play, I'll meet you there later
While the cat's away, that's how it goes
They don't know

Love let's go the reins
Know my love will stay the same
Love let's go the reins
Only love remains the same

Tough up pictures, my private zone
Tempermental, I'll get them on my own
Do you wanna play, I'll be a spectator
While the cat's away, at a secret rendevous
If they only knew

Love let's go the reins
Know my love will stay the same
Love let's go the reins
Only love remains the same

I should have kept my self disguise on
You never know

I Will

Inside your heart, there lives a stone
It crept in one night, when no one was home
Since that one day your life's a living hell
Searching the house where love will dwell

Through each door you find
Something you'd rather not see
And I can hear you cry, who will come and rescue me
And I said

I will, come and rescue you

Your days of blues are history, a-ha
Gone is that stone, now your heart is free

In each rhyme I write, something that pleases you
Because in every line I will come and rescue you

I wanted you to exist so I wrote you into my world
But now there is a funny twist, I just can't seem to
Rescue you from my words

Flying Back South

The other day we were two cold lonely people all broken down
Barricades in the house where love lay dying, dreams all around
A moment changes everything
Long dark winters turn to spring in our hearts

Out of the cold with the fire of our love
Burning inside to the end
Out of the cold to the clear blue skies
Flying back south again

Suddenly, there's a reason to run hand in hand all through the rain
Come to me, let me hold you, let me kiss away all of your pain
A moment changes everything
Long dark winters turn to spring in our hearts

Out of the cold with the fire of our love
Burning inside to the end
Out of the cold to the clear blue skies
Flying back south again

Night after night, feeling you holding me tight
We'll cry no tears for yesterday

Out of the cold with the fire of our love
Burning inside to the end
Out of the cold to the clear blue skies
Flying back south again

Shake Baby Shake

You take me higher, ah baby
No one in the world touches you
You call me liar, ah baby
And I don't know what's going on

Let me know the one who told you
Let me know what they say
I can be the one to hold you
I can show you the way

I know what's right for me so shake baby shake
You are the one I need to shake baby shake

It's all behind us, ah baby
There's nothing wrong with me anymore
I'll give all I've got to give
'Til nothing's left in me anymore

I can be the one to show you
I can make your day
Let me be the one to hold you
Here to my heart and my soul

Here in this land I call my own
There is just one thing I must know
If there's a reason for us not to be
Please please tell me

Feeling Good About It

After all it's you and I
Gonna build a ship gonna make it fly together, a-ha
Feeling good like I knew it would
I'm over the moonlight lady, for you

No time for blow-up heroes
No time for blow-up heroes today
No time to put an edge on the axe
As we go on our way

Feelin' good about it, I'm feeling good about it
Breathin' each morning with you
Feelin' good about it, I'm feeling good about it
Can't stop, we're just passing through

Life goes by for you and I
Gonna sacrifice, gonna do or die forever, a-ha
The only vow we ever made
Was never to lose our licence to love

No time for paranoia
No time for don't you wish you had one
No time to gather ashes and dust
Take a ride, hit and run

Feelin' good about it, I'm feeling good about it
Breathin' each morning with you
Feelin' good about it, I'm feeling good about it
Can't stop, we're just passing through

And I'm feelin' my way there
Flyin' closer to heaven

Inside My Love

What am I feeling down inside my love
I never thoguth this would be for me
And when I caught you playing games with my heart
I told you I'm in love with you

Now I'm all wrapped up inside your love
I can't escape from being trapped by love
And when I caught you sitting all alone
I told you that I'm all yours

I know I promised that to never change
You said you liked me just that way I am
But then you wanted much more from me
And I can't give you that, no
I just can't give you that, no
I can't give you that, no

Now I'm all wrapped up inside your love
I can't escape from being trapped by love
And when I caught you sitting all alone
I told you that I'm all yours

Sweet Rhapsody

Diamond heart, no wrong and no right
Inside the silver room
Photogrpahs of panama hats, champagne
And burmese moons
Highways, ghosts in the glass
Some New Orlean Blues
Climb the stairs, pull down the shades
And face the silent news

Sunlight was brighter and love so free
Like a beautiful fire, sweet rhapsody

Broken souls look down on the street
Through windows sad with rain
A Beatle song on an old saxophone
No love no joy no pain
Sunlight was brighter and love so free
Like a beautiful fire, sweet rhapsody

Move On Up To Heaven

Get hot, hold tight
Get hot, hold tight - I'm movin' up to heaven
Get hot, hold tight - I'm movin' up, I'm movin' up
Get hot, hold tight - I'm movin' up to heaven

In a world of love and fantasy
When the bee starts doing wine
All those gospel songs that bring ecstacy
Through the freeways of my mind

It's a carousel, goin' round and round I can't get off
Get off

Get hot, hold tight - I'm movin' up, I'm movin' up
Get hot, hold tight - I'm movin' up to heaven
Get hot, hold tight - I'm movin' up, I'm movin' up
Get hot, hold tight - I'm movin' up to heaven

The days go by but the nights stand still
I hear the groove and I'm ready to go
I'm holding out for a mystery
Like a .... gigolo

Up and down it's a roundabout I can't get off
Get off

Get hot, hold tight - I'm movin' up, I'm movin' up
Get hot, hold tight - I'm movin' up to heaven
Get hot, hold tight - I'm movin' up, I'm movin' up
Get hot, hold tight - I'm movin' up to heaven

It's a carousel, goin' round and round I can't get off
Get off

Get hot, hold tight - I'm movin' up, I'm movin' up
Get hot, hold tight - I'm movin' up to heaven
Get hot, hold tight - I'm movin' up, I'm movin' up
Get hot, hold tight - I'm movin' up to heaven
