Back

If You Were There

You're the one that makes my day a dream come true
Yet and still you wonder if I think of you
You ought to see how the other girls behave when you're not around
And only then you would know that it's on your finger I'm wound

If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
That I care

There's no need for for you not to have faith in me
'Cos it's by your side that I long to be
Yes there are times with my friends when I don't have much to say
What you don't know is with you I could never act that way

If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
That I care

I care for you baby, I swear that I care

There's no need for for you not to have faith in me
'Cos it's by your side that I long to be
Yes there are times with my friends when I don't have much to say
What you don't know is with you I could never act that way

If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
If you were there you'd know
That I care

I care for you baby, I swear that I care



I'm Your Man
Call me good
Call me bad
Call me anything you want to baby
But I know that your sad
Aand I know that I'll make you happy
With the one thing that you never had

Baby, I'm your man (Don't you know that?)
Baby, I'm your man
You Bet!
If your gonna do it, do it right-right?
Do it with me
If your gonna do it, do it right-right?
Do it with me
If your gonna do it, do it right-right?
Do it with me
If your gonna do it, do it right-right?
Do it with me

So good...
Your divine...
Wanna take you, Wanna make you,
But they tell me that it's a crime!
Everybody knows where the good people go
But where we're going baby
Ain't no such word as no!

Baby, I'm your man (Don't you know that?)
Baby, I'm your man
You Bet!
If your gonna do it, do it right-right?
Do it with me
If your gonna do it, do it right-right?
Do it with me
If your gonna do it, do it right-right?
Do it with me
If your gonna do it, do it right-right?
Do it with me


First class information
I'll be your sexual inspiration
And with some stimulation
We can do it right...
So why waste my time with others guys?
When you can have mine
I ain't asking for no sacrifice
Baby your friends do not need to know!
I've got a real nice place to go 
Listen
I don't need you to care
I don't need you to understand 
All I want is for you to understand
And when I'm turned on 
If you want me
I'm your man

Baby, I'm your man (Don't you know that?)
Baby, I'm your man
You Bet!
If your gonna do it, do it right-right?
Do it with me
If your gonna do it, do it right-right?
Do it with me
If your gonna do it, do it right-right?
Do it with me
If your gonna do it, do it right-right?
Do it with me

If you're gonna do it-You know what I say?
If you're gonna do it don't throw it away
Don't throw it baby
Because
I'll be your boy, I'll be your man
I'll be the one who understands
I'll be your first, I'll be your last
I'll be the only one you ask
I'll be your friend, I'Lll be your boy
I'll be the one who brings you joy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your pearl
I'll take you have way round the world!
I'll make you rich- I'll make you poor
Just don't use the door
Do it with me...

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go

Jitterbug
Jitterbug
Jitterbug
Jitterbug
You put the boom boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high when your loving starts
Jitterbug into my brain
Goes a bang bang bang till my feet do the same
If something's bugging you
If something ain't right
My best friend told me what you did last night
Left me sleeping in my bed
I was dreaming but I should have been with you instead

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not planning on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high

You put the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
You turn a bright spark into flame
My beats per minute never been the same
'Cause you're my lady, I'm your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on baby lets not fight
We'll go dancing everything will be alright 

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not planning on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high

Cuddle up baby move in tight
We'll go dancing tomorrow night
It's cold out there but it's warm in bed
They can dance, we'll stay at home instead

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not planning on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high


Like A Baby

Foreign skies that blinded me to empty charms
I crossed the ocean and fell into your arms
So sure, so wrong
You sang me a simple tune
I took it for a song
Say goodbye don't tell me why you have to go
Loving you was as good as gold, as good as gold
I'd love to love you, really love you
But you see there's something you should know
I didn't really think you'd go
Because today
I could have sworn I heard you say
I love you
I want you
I need to be with you today
I saw something in your face
Stay here beside me
I need your love to hide me
You lied
And now you've gone away
And left me crying like a baby, like a baby


Freedom

Everyday I hear a different story
People saying that you're no good for me
Saw your lover with another and she's making a fool of you
If you loved me baby you'd deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it
Tell me I'm a baby and I don't understand
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice forever
'Cos baby, you could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do

I don't want your freedom
I don't want to play around
I don't want nobody baby
Part time love just brings me down
I don't need your freedom
Girl all I want right now is you
Like a prisioner who has his own key
But I can't escape until you love me

I just go from day to day knowing all about the other boys
You take my hand and tell me I'm a fool to give you all I do
I bet someday baby someone does the same to you
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once, twice forever
'Cos baby, you could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do



The Edge Of Heaven

I could lock you up but I could not bear
To hear you screaming to be set free
I would chain you up if I thought you'd swear
The only one that mattered was me, me, me
I would strap you up but don't worry baby
You know I wouldn't hurt you 'less you wanted me to
It's too late to stop won't the heavens save me
My daddy said the devil looks a lot like you

Take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your babies eyes and we can
Take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
When the passion dies
It's just a matter of time 
Before my heart is looking for a home

I'm like a maniac at the end of the day
I'm like a doggy barking at the door
So come and take me back to the place you stay
And maybe we can do iy once more
I'm dangerous but don't worry baby
I get excited at the things that you do
And there's a place in a dirty movie
'Cos nobody does it better than me and you

Take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your babies eyes and we can
Take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
Please don't tell me lies
It's just a matter of time 
Before my heart is looking for a home

I ain't got no more worries
I'm gonna spend some time with you
Loving you takes some courage
And don't you think I know it,
I know it, I know it, I know it

Take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your babies eyes and we can
Take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
Don't tell me lies
Because believe me baby 
On eday you'll wake up on your own

I ain't got no more worries 
I ain't got no more time for you
Loving you takes such courage
And don't you think I know it,
I know it, I know it, I know it

Young Guns

Hey sucker (What the hell's got into you?)
Hey sucker (Now there's nothing you can do!)
Well I hadn't seen your face around town a while
So I greeted you with a knowing smile
When I saw that girl upon your arm
I knew she'd won your heart with her fatal charm
I said "Soul boy, let's hit the town!"
I said "Soul boy, what's with the frown?"
But in return, all you could say, was
"Hi George, meet my fiancee"

Young Guns having some fun
Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run
Wise guys realise, there's danger in emotional ties
See me, single and free
No fears, no tears, what I want to be
One, two, take a look at you
Death by matrimony!

Hey sucker (what the hell's got into you?)
Hey sucker (now there's nothing you can do!)
A married man? You're out of you're head
Sleepless mights on a H.P. bed
A daddy by the time you're twenty-one
If you're happy with a nappy then you're in for fun
But you're here- You're there
Well there's guys like you just everywhre
Looking back on the good old days?
Well this Young Gun says caution pays!

I remember when we had such fun and everything was fine
I remember when we used to have agood time, partners in crime.
Tell me that's all in the past and I will gladly walk away
Tell me that you're happy now
Turning my back- nothing to say
"Hey tell this jerk to take a hike
There's somethin' 'bout that boy I don't like!"
"Well sugar he don't mean the things he said"
"Just get him out of my way, I'm seeing red
We got plans to make, things to buy
And you're wasting time on some creepy guy"
"Hey shut up chick, that's a friend of mine
Just watch you're mouth babe, you're out of line!"

Ooooooh! 
Get back 
Hands off
Go for it!
Get back 
Hands off
Go for it!

Last Christmas

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognise me?
Well it's been a year it doesn't surprise me
(Happy Christmas!)
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Now I found a real love you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special  



Where did your heart go?
 
I spend my nights down on the wharf
In unlit alleyways
By the church downtown
Where Sally Prays
Come down sometime
We'll share a rusty can of corn
And listen to the radio
I love you, I love you, it says

Where did your heart go?
Did you put it on a train
Did you leave it in the rain
Or down in Mexico?

You cry, but I don't know
I've heard it all before
There it goes again 
The slamming of the door

Sometimes the river calls me
And at night it calls my name
Says "Put your troubles down beside me"
Things have always been the same
And Rock 'N' Roll won't teach me
What the river said that night
I jumped into his beauty and drifted out of sight
