I Can't Make You Love Me

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me

'Cause I can't make you love me If you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart, and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
And I can't make you love me
If you don't

I'll close my eyes and then I won't see
The love you do not feel, when you're holding me
Morning will come, and I'll do what's right
Just give me til then, to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

And I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
And here in the dark in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no, you won't
And I can't make you love me
If you don't.

Ain't no use in you trying
It's no good for me baby without love
All my tears, all these years, everything I believed in
Baby

Safe

Sweet thing
I know how strong I can appear
But your don't know the days
Since somebody loved me
You came
And led me through that door again
You say you want to stay
But you don't know me (no you don

You make me feel safe

Someday
My darkest fears will find their way
After all
Somebody loves me
All day
My heart tells strangers how I feel
And it's hard not to feel this way
When you thought your future was on prescription

You make me feel safe

Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me

I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

It's much too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded me by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Ladies and Gentlemen Mr. Elton John

I can't find
Oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way feel
Don't discard me baby don't
Just because you think I mean you harm
Just because you think I mean you harm, oh
But these cuts I have, cuts I have
They need love
They need love, they need love to help them heal

Oh, Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
Cause' losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I that see, yeah
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free baby, oh
Cause' losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Tonight

Tonight,
Do we have to fight again, tonight?
I just want to go to sleep, turn out the light.
But you want to carry grudges,
Oh, nine times out of ten,
Oh, I see the storm approaching long before the rain starts falling.

Tonight,
Does it have to be the old thing, tonight?
Oh, it's late, too late
To chase the rainbow that you're after.
I'd like to find a compromise
And place it in your hands.
Oh, my eyes are blind, my ears can't hear,
Oh, and I cannot find the time.

Tonight,
Just let the curtains close in silence, tonight.
Why not approach with less defiance
The man who'd love to see you smile,
who'd love to see you smile.
Tonight.
Tonight, just let the curtains close in silence, tonight.
Why not approach with less defiance
The man who'd love to see you smile,
The man who'd love to see you smile,
The man who'd love to see you smile,
Tonight.

Fantasy

One day you say you love me
The next you tell me you don't
One day you say you will
And the next you tell me you won't
Hey little baby
There ain't much point in hanging around (Yea).
One day you make me feel like your love is in my hands
One day you say you'll stay
The next you're changing your plans
Hey little baby
Ain't much point in hanging around (Yea).
Cause' if you ain't got time for me I'll find another Fantasy.

It is kind of funny that you think that
I am the boy to make you cry
I can make you happy
If only for a while
Little baby I can give you all the loving that your heart desires
If you ain't got time for me I'll find another Fantasy.

It could be the price of love
Could the price of hate
What am I guilty of
Why do you make me wait
So long I don't know your intentions.
Look to the sky's above
I am in the hands of fate
Push till it gets to shove
I have got to know for heavens sake
Is this love or invention
Baby can't you see I'll find another Fantasy.

You hang around with people who are sure to make you cry
I can make you happy if only for a while
Little baby oh, oh little baby
I can give you all the lovin' that your heart desires
If you ain't got time for me I'll find another Fantasy.

You take someone's heart
And you kick it around
Keep on picking it up
So you can watch it come down
I don't know what I am suppose to do
Why I wait for you to make up your mind
Would you please be so kind
When you know what to do I'll be in the the next room
But if you make it to late I may be in the next day
Hmm...

If You Were My Woman

If you were my woman
And I was your man
There would be no other other woman
You'd be weak as a lamb
If you had the strength to walk out that door
My love would overule my sense I would call you back for more

If you were my woman
If you were my woman
And I was your man, Yeah!

He tears you down darlin'
Says your nothing at all
But I'll be there for darlin'
When he lets fall
Your like a diamond
But he treats you like glass
Yet you beg him to love you
With me you don't ask

If you were my woman
If you were my woman
Here's what I'd do, Oh
I'd never, no, no, no stop lovin' you
Whoa! Yeah!

My darlin'
Life is so crazy
And love is so unkind
Because he came first, darlin'
Will he make up your mind
Your a part of me
And you don't even to know it
I'm what you need
But I'm too afraid to show it

If you were my woman
Here's what I'd do, Oh
I'd never, no, no, no
Whoa! Oh!

My darlin'
If you were my woman
Sweet lovin' woman
I said
If you were my woman
If you were my woman

If you were my woman
If you were my woman
Here's what I would do, Oh
I'd never, no, no, no stop lovin' you
Whoa! Yeah!
Never, never, no

I Believe

Shattered dreams, Worthless years
Here am I incased inside a hallow shell
Life began, Then was done
Now I stare into a cold and empty well
Living sounds that greet our ears
The sights our eyes befall
We'll open up our merging hearts
And feel our empty souls

I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever

Without despair, we will share
And the joys of care will not be erased
What has been, must never end
The joys of caring will not be replaced
When the seeds of love are plentiful
They won't be hard to find
And the songs of love I sang to you
Will echo in my mind

Hey!
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever. I said.
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever.
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever.  Yeah!
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever.
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever.
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever.
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever.  Yeah!

I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever.
You know god has answered my prayers
Won't you listen to me now
God's soul answered my prayers
Won't you listen to me now
God will answer all your prayers
Just ask him and God's soul will answer all your prayers
Oh come on and lets start and love

Your the woman I've been waiting for
Come on lets start and love
Your the woman that I adore
Don't you wanna
Fall in love with me baby
Don't you wanna
Fall in love with me this time, this time, this time

It will be forever
It will be forever
Don't you wanna fall in love
Come on, Come on don't you wanna fall in love
With me forever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
With me forever
Don't you wanna
Don't you wanna fall in love with me, baby, Yeah!
Don't you wanna
Don't you wanna fall in love with me this time, this time, this time
Oh, no no no
Don't you wanna fall in
Don't you wanna fall in love
Oh, no no no.  Oh!
Whoo!

Crazyman Dance

Well I'm still here
But I'm so scared
Got myself in trouble, so much trouble
I know I've got to make it
But I just can't take New York
My middle name is fear
I have a vacant stare
And it's been so long since my body's been warm
I know I've got to make it
But I just can't take New York
I came here
All dreams and wide eyes in the big, big city
No family, no money
And I don't even know what's hit me

He hasn't seen a doctor
Since he got here in the spring
Went to the Medicentre
But they wouldn't let him in
Without a green card
Life can be so hard
Take pity on a man without a home of his own
How could he ever have known?

Every street and every corner
Watch them drowning
Watch them do the Crazyman Dance
Men and Women to the slaughter
We just stand and watch them
Do the Crazyman Dance

It's been one whole year
And it's just not fair
For all the pushing and shoving
I've still got nothing
I'm never gonna make it
And I'm stuck here in New York
So people don't come near
Unless you've a dollar to spare
'Cause you know what they say
About madmen on the subways of New York
Believe it
Yesterday's newspapers
I wrap them around my body
Outside these skyscrapers
I wait for the night to hit me
And boy, does it hit me

Every street and every corner
Watch them drowning
Watch them do the Crazyman Dance
For a nickel or a quarter
For your pleasure
Watch them do the Crazyman Dance

I'm coming to London
I'm coming to Paris
I'm coming to make you good clean people embarrassed
Why don't you look at my face
Why don't you look in my eyes
You'd rather look at your feet
You'd rather look at the skies

Oh, you'd look anywhere
But at a man whose pure existence
Says 'I ain't got time'
And I don't care
I don't care
You just don't care
Care

Happy

First you take off your hat
Then you-take off those brand new shoes
Say 'Hey George, what've you got to lose?'
With my hand on your thigh
I just look you in the eye and say
'Not a whole lot baby
But a whole lot more than you'

I can make you happy (yeah, yeah)
Don't you know that?
She said
I can make you happy

Boys and Girls
The ones who kiss and tell
Why should we have to believe them?
No, I don't understand
How any woman, how any man
Can say 'Lay me down, lay me down'
For that big stash-cheap cash-think about the money

I can make you happy (yeah, yeah)
Don't you know that?
He said
I can make you happy

I've seen you in the corner
With your rub-it-on tan
Hitching a ride
Could be a woman or a man
Gonna get what you want before too long
Gonna take your opportunities
Right or wrong
Some poor cow with a seven-year itch?
You don't dig men
But you'll fuck'em if they're rich
You can't be-with me
You're a lowlife, daughterofasonofabitch

Do You Really Want to Know

When I ask those questions, baby
It's just to get them out of my head
Cause they turn around inside it
Then they spill off to our bed
Do I really want to know?
Do I really want to know your life?
Would I have to let you go?
Could I listen to my heart if my head stops to think twice?

When I've been a good boy
When I've been a bad boy
I have too much fun
But baby so did everyone
I've never been an angel
But things are gonna change, change, change
So do you really want to know?
Do you really want to know my life?
Would you have to let me go?
Could you listen to your heart if your head stopped to think twice?

If you knew every woman
And I knew every man
We never would have made it past holding hands
I guess the saying is no longer true
That what you don't know can hurt you
I guess there is just no question, baby
You know what you're doing in bed
If I want your touch
Should I know too much
Some things are better left unsaid
So do I really want to know?
Do I really want to know your life?
Would I have to let you go?
Could I listen to my heart if my head starts to think twice?

(Tell me baby, Cause one thing to guess is one thing to know,
and don't you think that maybe baby I've got secrets of my own?)

If I knew every woman
And you knew every man
We never would have made it past holding hands
I used to say it but it's no longer true
Cause what you don't know can really hurt you (Can kill you baby)

And even as we speak
The world is full of lovers
Night after night, week after week
Trusting to luck and a pocket full of rubbers

Desafinado

If you say my singing is off key, my love
You would hurt my feelings, don't you see, my love ?
I wish I had an ear like yours,
A voice that would behave
All I have is feeling
And the voice God gave

You insist my music goes against the rules
Yes, but rules were never made for lovesick fools
I wrote this song for you
But you don't care
It's a crooked song, ah,
But my heart is there

The thing that you would see if you would play the part
Is even if I'm out of tune I have a gentle heart
I took your picture with my trusty Rolleiflex
And now all I have developed is complex

Possibly in vain, I hope you weaken, oh my love
And forget those rigid rules that undermine my dream of
A life of love and music with someone who'll understand

That even though I may be out of tune when I attempt to say
How much I love you
And all that matters is the message that I bring,
Which is: my dear one, I love you
 

Desafinado ( portugese )

Se voce disser que eu desafino amor
Saiba que isso em mim provoca imensa dor
So previlegiados tem ouvido igual ao seu
Eu possuo apenas o que deus me deu

E se voce insiste em classificar
Com o meu comportamento de anti-musical
Nao lhes vou mentir ate vou comentar
Que isso e bossa-nova
Que isso e muito natural
Que voce nao sabe nem sequer pressente
E que os desafinados tambem tem um coracao
Fotografei voce na minha role-flix
Revelou-se a sua enorme engratidao

So nao podera falar assim do meu amor
Que bem maior que voce pode encontrar
Voce passou a musica e esqueceu o principal
Que no peito dos desafinados
No fundo do peito bate calado
No peito dos desafinados tambem bate um coracao

Waltz Away Dreaming

She's got a song in her head and
she'll sing to me,
She's got a laugh that reminds me
of why she's in love with me,
She'd never let show she was lonely
in case it had frightened me,
She was carpet and stone,
independent, alone,
But her love always shone around
me,
Every time...

Waltz away dreaming till your day begins again,
Free from the seasons and this state I'm in,
And oh, I can't hold it all under one love,
It was so long ago when we kissed in the streets,
Now you fly like an eagle above,
While I waltz away anyway,
I'll be waltzing my days away,
Searching for this woman I love.

She had a history of joy and pain in time,
And she chose to leave,
She had a thousand and one photographs,
That you would not believe,
She'll come to you in disguise,
She's there in your children's eyes,
Still our mother...
She' still your wife,
(So let her...)

Waltz away dreaming till your day begins again
Free from the reasons for this state I'm in,
And oh, (trust me, she ain't going anywhere)
I can't hold it all under one love,
(Trust me, she told me, when you're ready she'll be there)
It was so long ago, (no don't let go of her)
When we kissed in the streets,
Now you fly like an eagle above,
While I waltz away anyway,
I'll be waltzing my days away,
Searching for this woman I love.

And the moment you see me
I will live in your life
We will walk through my garden
I will see through your eyes,
I was in despair 'till she found me there,
Every grown man cries with his mother's eyes,
And when you're ready too,
She'll come back to you,
She's waiting,
Father...
She's waiting.
