Fire

Fire
In the air
I can feel the change in the weather
I can see right where the road ends
Though I thought it'd last forever
Now you and I were truly friends
But the bridge you burned
May never make amends
Now I'm on fire
And if you think it doesn't hurt
Then you've got a lot to learn
About fire
There's a line
You drew right in the sand
And you crossed it out of nowhere
Caught up in a bitter wind
Before you go
I have to make my plea
But the hardest part is getting you to see
Yeah, I’m on fire
And if you think it doesn't hurt
Then you've got a lot to learn
About fire, oh
All I want
Is another chance, another chance try
To prove myself to you this time
Oh don't I at least get that?
Don't I at least get that? Ooh
Any day, you'll regret the choice you ran to
You'll miss the warmth around you
Do you even have the first clue? I love you
How can I show
How far I'd go
Before you walk away
And never even know
That I'm on fire
And if you think it doesn't hurt
Fire, fire hurts, oo, mm, mm, mm, mm, ooh, fire

Fly

Fly
One day the time will come
Won’t be my baby anymore
And I can’t help but hold on to the little girl
That loved me to the moon
Now you’ve got the urge to fly
Spread your wings and have a try
While I was grounded in the walk of life
I felt the winds of change hit me by surprise
When you fly, fly
Fly away, while your daddy waves goodbye
Once held you in my arms
To protect you from the dark
But now I’ve become so afraid
That I’m more afraid than you ever were
If you fly, fly
Fly away, while your daddy waves goodbye
You took a gray day in London
And painted every rainbow in my life
Yeah me and you, sang our song together
Howlin’ like coyotes in the night
I’ll miss those times
When you leave the nest and learn to fly
Now you think that you can fly
There’s no stoppin’ you this time
You have the courage to embrace the sky
You have all my love whatever you decide
So fly, go on and fly
Fly away, while your daddy waves goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye

Promises

Promises
Promises, you meant to keep
Pillow talk that lullabied me fast to sleep
Now you can keep all your promises
I was a fool to believe a word you said
Now I don't believe, that I believe your promises
You can't forget
Words you said with all your heart now you regret
And I resent all those promises
When I needed you most
You were gone again
And you left me with, nothing left but promises
And how many times
Can you simply change your mind
While I'm hanging on to every word you say
You broke the rules
Along with my heart too
You just decide to throw it all away
Is that the one commitment that you've made?
I was a fool to believe a word you said
Now I don't believe
That I believe your promises
Promises, no I can't believe a word you said
Promises, no, no, not again
No, I don't believe that I believe a word
Of your...promises, promises, promises

The Best Of Me

The Best Of Me
If you should see her
Don’t mention my name
Don't tell that these tears I've cried
Have just poured like pain
Don't tell her how I looked
And don’t repeat what I said
If she should ask about me
Just say I’m doing my best
Don't let her know she got the best of me
Next thing you know she'll want the rest of me
Well I beg you not to tell her of my agony
She'd love to say she got the best of me
The best of me, the best of me
Don’t tell her I’ve been lonely
I'm sure she'd like to know
She'd probably have some kind of snide remark
Like, “I told you so”
You can forget that you saw me
It's better that way
She'll never know what a fool I was
For leaving her that way
Don't let her know she got the best of me
Next thing you know she'll want the rest of me
Well I beg you not to tell her of my agony
She'd love to say she got the best of me
The best of me, the best of me
Remember, if you should see her
Not to mention my name
She'll never know what a fool I was
For leaving her that way
Don't let her know she got the best of me
Next thing you know she'll want the rest of me
Well I beg you not to tell her of my agony
She'd love to say she got the best of me
The best of me, the best of me
Don't let her know she got the best of me
Next thing you know she'll want the rest of me
Well I beg you not to tell her of my agony
She'd love to say she got the best of me
The best of me, the best of me

I Found Love

I Found Love
I feel good
Like a million bucks
I can't fail
I've got the Midas touch
Ever since I found you, life’s been rich
Going long without a hitch
Before you
Life was hard and rough
Without hope
I'd almost given up
Darkness was upon me
In a powerful way
But that was yesterday
I found love
I found happiness
I found love
In your tenderness
Thanks to you, I finally found love
I found strength
And some peace of mind
In a world that can be cruel sometimes
A little ray of sunshine shone on me
Enough to make me see
I found love
I found happiness
I found love
In your tenderness
Thanks to you, I finally found love
Searchin' everyday
I thought you'd never come
Now I've found "The One"
Baby, I found love
I found love
I found happiness
I found love
Thanks to you, I'm searchin' no more
Now I'm through, never had this before
Now that I found love

Now That You're Gone
Tum the lights out set me free
There’s nothing more I want to see
Pull the phone and shut the blinds
Leave this lonely world far behind
It's gonna take a miracle to keep me hanging on
Now that you’re gone
It'll take a miracle to keep me hanging on
Now that you’re gone
How could I find the strength inside of me to carry on, alone
If could only see your face
It would light the whole damn place
But like a star fell from the sky
Snatched from my arms
Not a chance to say goodbye
Now that you're gone
It'll take a miracle to keep me hanging on
Now that you're gone
How could I find the strength inside of me to carry on
Alone, where nothing really matters
No one else could take the place of you
No one else in this whole world will do
I love you, oo, I love you, yeah
I see your picture in my mind
I can go there anytime but you’ll never come back home
So what’s the use in stayin’ here
I’ll meet you on the road to heaven, dear
Now that you're gone
It'll take a miracle to keep me hanging on
Baby, now that you're gone
How could I find the strength inside of me to carry on, alone
Now you're gone, mm, now you're gone
Oo I miss you baby, now you're gone

Alone Together
05:03
|

Alone Together
We built a house
We called a home
Lookin’ out from a window
I'd swear I'm alone
We know our lines
To the parts we play
Like a couple of strangers in a masquerade
How can something so precious become so routine?
Neither one wants to face it so together we’ll be
Alone
You make me wanna stay
Alone, I didn’t wanna be
Alone together
All alone together oh oh, no
Another day
Just like the last
Who needs tomorrow
When we’re livin’ in the past
The fires died
It’s cold in bed
And you’re not even listening to a word I said
If there's nothing between us
Let’s leave it at that
What's the use in repeating?
It’s so obvious
Alone
You make me wanna stay
Alone, I didn’t wanna be
Alone when we're together
so alone
Together alone
Alone
You make me wanna stay
Alone, that's how it feels, I didn’t wanna be
Alone together
All alone girl
Together alone
I didn't wanna be alone
All alone, whoa

Starlet

Starlet
Hollywood was a-callin'
You packed your things and came a-runnin'
There's a place for you up there on the silver screen
Is that your agent on the line
Or someone playin’ with your mind
Another wannabe lover from the gutter of broken dreams
Starlet, you tried your hardest
I was your sacrifice
You were blinded by the neon lights
Starlet, you played your part the best
I was your biggest fan
But I just can't be your leading man no more
Well I’ve seen your ups and downs
Dried your tears and hung around
But the casting couch draws cold, cruel company
They found a part with you in mind
A scene where everybody cries
Another big debut ending up on the cutting room floor
Starlet, you tried your hardest
I was your sacrifice
You were blinded by the neon lights
Starlet, you played your part the best
I was your biggest fan
But I just can't be your leading man no more
There's a star on the boulevard
Where the tourist stand and stare
One day you’ll be bigger than all the rest
Living out your fantasy without me there
Starlet, you tried your hardest
I was your sacrifice
You were blinded by the neon lights
Starlet, you played your part the best
I was your biggest fan
But I just can't be your leading man no more
No, I just can't be your leading man no more

On The Highway
Ride
Henry started out drivin' on always lookin' for something
The desert was vast reminding him, he was nothin'
He picked up a hiker and with visions of Mother
He gutted the stranger and left him for buzzards
On the highway, On the highway, On the highway
On the highway, On the highway, On the highway
He pulled into the station for a piss and a six-pack
The poor kid at the counter looked scared like a caged rat
He went for the phone Henry blew the boys head off
Ran out with the cash box and a big bag of cheese puffs
For the highway, On the highway, On the highway
On the highway, On the highway, On the highway
Where we all ride on and on
Later that evening Henry stopped for a burger
A pretty young waitress was in need of a chauffeur
By a sick twist of fate, Henry offered to drive her
They scoured the desert but they never did find her
On the highway, On the highway, On the highway
On the highway, On the highway, On the highway
Where we all ride on and on
Out on the highway
Yeah, on and on and on and on and on, yeah, yeah
On the highway

Pretender
It’s getting late when have you been?
Don’t give me some excuse about you hangin’ with your friends
You choose your words so carefully
You better look me in the eye if you want me to believe
You pretender, pretender baby
Pretending that you love me while your minds on someone else
Pretender, pretender baby
You think you found a sucker but you’re fooling yourself
I trusted you that was my mistake
I thought our love was real but now I see it’s fake, baby
I must admit you had me fooled those days are gone
I’m through with you
You pretender, pretender baby
Pretending that you love me while your minds on someone else
Pretender, pretender baby
You think you found a sucker but you’re fooling yourself
You pretender, pretender baby
Pretending that you love me while your minds on someone else
Pretender, pretender baby
You think you found a sucker but you’re fooling yourself
Why do you wanna lie to me?
Why don’t you open your eyes and see?
That I’m getting wise to you baby and it’s time for me to set you free
Pretender baby
I can see right through you girl
Pretender baby
You’re doing nothin’ but, b, b but
You know what?
You flat cold busted
I trusted you that was my mistake
I thought our love was real but now I see it’s fake
You foolin’ me baby, over and over again
But now it’s time for this foolishness to end
You pretender, pretender baby
Pretending that you love me while your minds on someone else
Pretender, pretender baby
You think you found a sucker but you’re fooling yourself
Baby, baby
Pretender baby, oo, oo, oo, hey, hey, hey
You’re lyin’ to me and I’m tellin' the truth
Baby, baby, baby

I Lied

I Lied
Baby I’ve got something I hate to admit
when I said I was working late I was stretching the truth a bit
I was with another woman you somehow could tell
I tried every damn excuse but it seems you knew me too well
I lied and all I can say is sorry
I lied is all I can say
I lied try to forgive me, honey
I lied is all I can say
Don't say it's over, don’t call it off
With a little understanding, we could have us a heart to heart
We could pick up where we started what's done is done
Girl I’m not the only villain this could happen to anyone
I lied and all I can say is sorry
I lied is all I can say
I lied try to forgive me, honey
I lied is all I can say
No one is perfect we all make mistakes
I tried to hide mine but my eyes gave me away
I lied and all I can say is sorry
I lied is all I can say
I lied try to forgive me, honey
I lied is all I can say
No one is perfect we all make mistakes
I tried to hide mine but my eyes gave me away
I lied and all I can say is sorry
I lied is all I can say
I lied try to forgive me, honey
I lied is all I can say
I lied and all I can say is sorry
I lied is all I can say
I lied try to forgive me, honey
I lied is all I can say

This Love
Once, once in a lifetime
You find someone
You want to love for all your life
Take a look
Look at what lies ahead
We’ll share each day, with you my love
Until the end
Now, now that we have the chance
We can take the time we have tonight to make love last
This love is the best love
A love that is forever true is all I have to give to you
This love is the one love
It's the only love all ever need
The only gift you could give to me
This love
We, we made all our promises, yes we did
To love each other for all time our whole life’s through
True, we'll cherish the words we spoke
As we plant the seed of hope, my love, and watch it grow
Life has so many roads to choose
I want to take each step right beside you
Share this love with only you too
This love is the best love
A love that is forever true is all I have to give to you
This love is the one love
It's the only love all ever need
The only gift you could give to me
This love
You said I love you, yes I do
We will feel it forever
Together, me and you

A love that is forever true is all I have to give to you
This love is the one love
It's the only love all ever need
The only gift you could give to me

Love Won't Wait

Love Won’t Wait
I can tell by the words you wrote
My time is up since you gave up hope
It's not far it's not right and I know
That I’ve been leaving you hanging
I, I never gave you the time
The time that it takes to be mine and you know
How loves so impatient
Love won’t wait
I know you tried your best
Love won’t wait
I’m in an awful mess
Love won’t wait
I’d beg for another chance but love won't wait
I should have said when I had the chance
that loving' you has been the best thing yet
but instead, I’d just wait
I believed that you would hold on forever
I never made up my mind until I was right, out of time
Now I know that you can't keep love waiting, because
Love won’t wait
I know you tried your best
Love won’t wait
I’m in an awful mess
Love won’t wait
I’d beg for another chance but love won't wait
And I don't know the meaning of love
But I know when it's over
I know that time waits for no one
And we're all getting older
I, I never made up my mind
Until I was right, out of time
Now I know
That you can't keep love waiting, because
Love won’t wait
I know you tried your best
Love won’t wait
I’m in an awful mess
Love won’t wait
I’d beg for another chance but love won't wait

A picture of nobility

You stepped right out of a storybook
There’s something that I must confess
I never a felt a love like this in my life
It’s never felt so right
My pretty Princess, princess of love
Show me love tonight
Princess, princess of love
