All
I know is that I've been sold
You can read my life, like a fortune told
I've seen the dream, there ain't no land of Oz
But I've got my brain and I got a heart
And courage built I won't let go
What we need right now is ......soul
I can't do this, you can't do that
They feed us lines but I won't act
And all good things come to pass
But the truth is all you have to have
And would you lie for it?
(Do you) cry for it?
(Would you) die for it?
Would you?
I believe, I believe
With every breath that I breathe
You and me can turn a whisper to a scream
I believe, I believe
You give it all, then you gave more
You know what you came here for
You'll pay the cost, like it's your cross to bear
Are we the ones that put it there
Would you scheme for it?
Scream for it?
Bleed for it?
Would you?
I
believe, I believe
Believe we're still worth
The fight you'll see
There's hope for this world tonight
I believe, I believe
Don't look up to your movie screens
In record stores or magazines
Close your eyes and you will see
That you are all you really need
I believe, I believe
With every breath that you breathe
You and me can turn a whisper to a scream
I believe, I believe
If you could see inside my heart
Then you would understand
I'd never mean to hurt you
Baby, I'm not that kind of man
I might not say I'm sorry
Yeah I might talk tough sometimes
And I might forget the little things
Or keep you hanging on the line
In a world that don't know Romeo & Juliet
Boy meets girls girl and promises we can't forget
We're cast from Eden's gate with no regrets
Into the fire we cry
I'd die for you
I'd cry for you
I'd do anything
I'd lie for you
You know it's true
Baby I'd die for you
I'd die for you
I'd cry for you
If it came right down to me and you
You know it's true
Baby I'd die for you
I might not be a saviour
And I'll never be a king
I might not send you roses
Or buy you diamond rings
But if I could see inside you
Maybe I'd know just who we are
'Cause our love is like a hunger
Without it we would starve
In a world that don't know Romeo & Juliet
Boy meets girls girl and promises we can't forget
We cast from Eden's gate with no regrets
Into the fire we cry
I'd die for you
I'd cry for you
I'd do anything
I'd lie for you
You know it's true
Baby I'd die for you
I'd die for you
I'd cry for you
If it came right down to me and you
You know it's true
Baby I'd die for you
If God was a woman
With long blond hair
Would you kneel at her altar
And offer her prayer
Could she be your addiction
Could she make you sin
If God was a woman
And you were her man
If God was a woman
Would you be impressed
If she showed up in high heels
And a pretty red dress
Would you make a donation
Or would you draw the line
Would you yield to temptation
Or savor her wine
If God was a woman
She'd come like an angel
Or a devil in disguise
When she left in the morning
Would you lose your religion
Or kiss your faith goodbye, goodbye
If God was a woman
If God was a woman
Tell me who could we blame
Would she make Jesus righteous
Or completely insane
If God was a woman
Would she kiss and tell
Would we wind up in heaven
Or would we all burn in hell
If
God was a woman
She'd come like an angel
Or a devil in disguise
When she left in the morning
Would you lose your religion
Or kiss your faith goodbye, goodbye
If God was a woman
And you were her man, yeah
If God was a woman
She'd come like an angel
Or a devil in disguise
When she left in the morning
Would you lose your religion
Or kiss your faith goodbye, goodbye
If God was a woman
If God was a woman
If God was a woman
If God was a woman
We's all burn in hell
If God was a woman, woman, woman, woman
If God was a woman
Tell me who would we blame
If God was a woman
If God was a woman
She'd drive us insane, yeah

If
I was your mother
Would you let me hold your hand
Would you say you were my baby
Would you always be my friend
If I was your mother
Could I teach what's right
Could I tell you stories
Maybe tuck you in
And kiss you sweet goodnight
Tell me what I got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was your mother
Would you always believe me
'Cause I'd wake up in the middle
Of the night
Just to see if you need me
Tell me there's no other
To who you're sharing your secrets
And would you tell me
'Bout all the boys you been
Bringing home to meet me
Tell me what I got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was yours
Tell me who I got to be
To make you a part of me
There's no one else you'd ever need
If I was your
Mother, mother
If I was your
Mother, mother
When love is blood
Your never on trial
Love don't get deeper
Than a mother and child
Oh baby, I got to get that close to you
Tell me what I got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was yours
Tell me who I got to be
To make you a part of me
There's no one else you'd ever need
If I was your
Mother, mother
If I was your
Mother, mother
If I was your
Mother, mother
I
played the part of a broken heart upon a shell
lf I played that part so lonely and so well
Thought that love belong to someone else
Not me and you
Yeah, I know that you've been shattered
You've been bruised
We both know what it feels like when you lose
But I'd bet my life on a roll of the dice for you
If that's what it takes
That's what I'll do
Tonight's the night
I'm gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down
Baby just to break to through
If that's what it takes
That's what I'll do
If that's what it takes...
I bet you counted all the tears I bet you've cried
I bet you swore you'd never let love back inside
'Cause it hurt you way
To bad to say good-bye
Now, there'll be times when
I might put us to the test
And it's hard for broken to just forget
But I'm driving blind, I'll lay it all on the line for you
If that's what it takes
That's what I'll do
Tonight's the night
I'm gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down
Baby just to break to through
If that's what it takes
That's what I'll do
If that's what it takes...
So, when you feel like jumping
Just when your heart starts pumping
When standing out on that ledge
Staring over the edge
I'll be there to talk you down
I'll be there before you hit the ground
If that's what it takes
That's what I'll do
Tonight's the night
I'm gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down
Baby just to break to through
If that's what it takes
T hat's what I'll do
If that's what it takes...
If that's what it takes
T hat's what I'd do
If we take the time to get it right
I know we'll pull through
If it took all my life
I'd prove it you
If that's what it takes
T hat's what I'll do
If that's what it takes
I'll do it, anything baby
I'll do anything you want me to do
Baby if it's for me and you
It's alright
It's alright
It feels like I'm walkin' on air
When we walk down our street
When the neighbors stop to watch us walk by
You can hear 'em talking (let them talk)
Sometimes I think that you're the only reason
The sun still shines (when it shines)
And when this wicked world starts bringing me down
I know that I'm one lucky guy
I got the girl (with all the cards)
I got the girl (she's a work of art)
I got the girl (who's gonna break my heart)
She says that someday she's gonna marry me
When that day comes that we walk down the aisle
She'll make me feel like a prince, a lord or a king
She likes to wear her stripe with her plaids
And she won't brush her hair (I swear)
She don't like wearing shoes in December
But I don't care (I don't care)
I got the girl (with all the cards)
I got the girl (she's a work of art)
I got the girl (who's gonna break my heart)
If I was a holy man I'd get down on my knees
So the angels that watch over her would give a break to me
Holy Mother of saint bubble gum and sister band-aid knees
Won't you please pray for the ones like me
But the truth is someday
Somebody is gonna take her (you see)
But the queen of hearts will always be
A five-year-old princess to me (to me)
I got the girl (with all the cards)
I got the girl (she's a work of art)
I got the girl (who's gonna break my heart)
I got the girl (she's gonna leave her mark)
I got the girl (she's a work of art)
I got the girl (she's gonna break your heart)
I got the girl
I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love in suicide
You say you're cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we're had some good times
How they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drink, I'll be the wine
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
And I wasn't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
Seven
days of Saturday
Is all that I need
I got no use Sunday
'Cause I don't rest in peace
And I don't need no Mondays
Or the rest of the week
I spent a lot of time in bed
But baby I don't like to sleep no
I won't lie to you
I'm never gonna cry to you
I'll probably drive you wild 8 days a week
Until I'm 6 feet under
Baby I don't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
So you're looking for some action
I got everything you need
Better keep your motor running,
'Cause I was built for speed
This ain't no slumber party
Got no time for catchin' Z's
If they say that it ain't healthy
Well then living's a disease
We're never gonna die baby
Come on let me drive you crazy
We'll make every night another New Year's Eve
Till I'm 6 feet under
I won't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Sleep when I'm dead, sleep when I'm dead
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Seven days of Saturday
Is all that I need
Got no use for Sunday
'Cause I don't rest in peace
I was born to live
You know I wasn't born to die
But if they party down in heaven
I'll be sure to be on time
Until I'm 6 feet under
I don't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
I feel like I'm exploding
Going out of my head
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till I'm six foot under
And they lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Young
and wired
Set to explode in the heat
You won't tire
Cause baby was born with the beat
Take you higher than you've ever known
Then drive you down to your knees
I pick you up when you've had enough
You been burned baby lessons learned
In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin'
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enough
She's gonna get ya
Running wild
When me and my boys hit the streets
Right on time
She's here to make my night complete
Then I'm long gone I got another show
One more town, one mile to go
One endless night of fantasy
Is all she left of her with me
In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin'
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love
When we're together
In and out of love
It's too much forever
In and out of love
Hear what I'm saying
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enough
She's gonna get you
In and out of love...
Life
is a road
Forever winding
Where it leads us I don't know
In it together for better or worse
Searching for our pal of gold
Time leaves a trail of broken hearts
So many arrows
Just keep missing their mark
Baby that ain't us
Nothing else matters
When you're in it for love
Together we can only go higher
You can reach any rainbow
You're dreaming of
Nothing else matters at all
When you're in it for love, baby
Yeah
We'll share in the laughter
Share in the tears
And the promises we keep
Life can be crazy
Love can be cruel
But it's always been a two way street
You try and give it all
You have to give so many people
Don't know how to forgive
Baby that ain't us
Nothing else matters
When you're in it for love
Together we can only go higher
You can reach any rainbow
You're dreaming of
Nothing else matters at all
When you're in it for love, baby
You try and give it all
You have to give so many people
Don't know how to forgive
Baby that ain't us
Nothing else matters
When you're in it for love
Together we can only go higher
You can reach any rainbow
You're dreaming of
Nothing else matters at all
When you're in it for love, baby
You
want commitment,
Take a look into these eyes
They burn with fire
Until the end of time
I would to do anything
I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die,
To have you in these arms tonight
Baby I want you
Like the roses want the rain
You know I need you
Like a poet needs the pain
And I would give anything,
My blood, my love, my life
If you were in these arms tonight
I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you 'till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight
We stared at the sun
And we made a promise
A promise this world
Would never blind us
These are my words
Our words are our songs
Our songs are our prayers
These prayers keep me strong
And I still believe
If you were in these arms...
I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you 'till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight
Your clothes are still scattered
All over our room
This whole place still smells like
Your cheap perfume
Everything here reminds me of you
There's nothing I wouldn't do..
And
these were our words
They
keep me strong
Baby...
I'd hold you
I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you 'till the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight
If you were in these arms tonight
If you were in these arms tonight
If you were in these arms tonight
Baby...
Like the roses need the rain
Like the seasons need to change
Like the poets need the pain
I need you in these arms tonight
It ain't no fun lying down to sleep
And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep
I wish the stars up in the sky
Would all just call in sick
And the clouds would the moon out
On some one-way trip
I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend
But somehow they drove me back here once again
To the place I lost in love
And the place I lost my soul
I wish I'd just burned down
This place that we call home
It would all have been so easy
If you'd only made me cry
And told me how you're leaving me
To some organ grinder's lullaby
It's hard, so hard
I t's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go
Now the sky, it shines a difference kind of blue
And the neighbours dog don't bark like he used to
Well, me, these days I just miss you
It's the nights that I go insane
Unless you're less you coming back for me
That's one thing I know won't change
It's hard, so hard
It's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go
Now some tarot card shark said I'll draw you a heart
We'll find you somebody else new
But I've made my last trip to those carnival lips
When I bet all that I had on you
It's hard, so hard
It's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go
It's hard, so hard
It's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go
You
know your favorite old pair of shoes
The ones with the hole in the toe you won't lose
Your favorite record that's all scratched and used
But still you love to play when your feeling blue
That faded rose that's all dried out
Those Bukowski poems we couldn't live without
Your high school pic when you had wild hair
That stormy day on the beach that got us here
Oh, you better believe there's just one thing you need
Can't you see...
It's just me baby
It's just me baby
If there's just one thing that you should keep
In your book of dreams
It's just me baby
Just like a shadow 10 feet tall
Standing right behind you should you fall
I'll be the one to hold you up to walk
When this wicked world makes us want to crawl
And if your waves should ever break at sea
I'll be there waiting, I'm that sandy beach
I'm that same old dog, scratching those same fleas
I'll be by your side, you can count on me
It's just me baby
It's just me baby
If there's just one thing that you should keep
In your book of dreams
It's just me baby
It's just me baby
What's it gonna take to make you see
What's
it gonna take 'til you believe in me
Oh, how my smile fades and my heart just breaks
Every time you go away
It's just me baby
It's just me baby
If there's just one thing that you should keep
In your book of dreams
It's just me baby
It's just me baby
What's it gonna take to make you see
What's it gonna take 'til you believe in me
And if someday some new memory comes along
Looking shiny new, feeling really strong
You can tell him that I'll tell him
He can just move on
I'm a fighter - I've been fighting for you all night long
It's just me baby
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life
Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!
The
last time that I saw her
Was the night she said goodbye
She said that love's a stranger
And it's sure to pass you by
As she packed up her belongings
She wouldn't look me in the eye
But I could see a tear roll
Off her face
As we both tried so hard
Not to cry
I never wanted the stars
I never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you
I tried so hard to remember
Where when how why love went away
I tried to drown myself in pity
But your memory kept calling myname
I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings
Baby all the things that money brings
And the servants to paint the sky blue
And I worked so hard seven days a week
And built a fortress for your heart top keep
If I could I wrap these words up for you
I never wanted the stars
I never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you
But never thought you were alone
I filled the party up with company
But never made our house a home
All I got is my guitar these chords and the truth
All I got is my guitar ... but baby all I want ...
I
never wanted the stars
I never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you
