CHORUS:
What good is love
If we just break it
What good is love
If we just take it
What good is love
If we don't make it
Forever
You turn your back
And you walk away
You never listen
To what I say
When you're down on me
You shut the door
Don't you think a good love
Is worth fighting for
You know we can
Change the tide
By showing all the love
We sometimes hide
If we just
Open up our eyes
REPEAT CHORUS
You hurt me
Desert me
And loneliness is all I have
To keep me company
You hurt me
Desert me
If freedom comes from happiness
It's time to say goodbye
I don't want you anymore
'Cause you never tell me why
I still don't know
I don't want you anymore
Baby, when the well runs dry
There ain't no place to go
I don't want you anymore
Baby, I'm wonderin' what
This whole thing's been for
I don't want you anymore
Mama, it's high time I was
Walkin' out the door
There comes a time
In every life when right and wrong
Is what comes between us
We've seen us fall apart
Down to the seams
Dreams
We both tried
The love died
Old standbys were nice tries
So goodbye
We both lied
To ourselves about each other
We both cried
'Cause we needed something better
Old standbys were nice tries
So goodbye
Our love reminded me
Of wishing on a star
It was hard to feel anything
We put us through the paces
With total disregard
For the love between us
Refused to grow
Refused to spread her wings
Dreams
We both tried
Everything within our power
Then love died
By the minute, by the hour
Old standbys were nice tries
So goodbye
We both lied
To ourselves about each other
We both cried
'Cause we needed something better
Old standbys were nice tries
So goodbye
I'd just as soon
Let it slide
I need to find
A place to hide
'Cause you took me
For a ride
This time
I can't place the blame on you
'Cause you refuse to see it through
I'll never stop my love for you
Even though
Even though
(chorus)
Yo' Mama never taught you the rules
She thought that all she ever had to do
Was dress you and send you to school
Yo' Mama never taught you the rules
You remind me
Of another
She and I
Thought that together
We would weather
Every storm
And still be true
I took my time
To discover
I'll never find
Another lover
Who keeps her feelings
Undercover
Quite like you
And all that I can do
Is anything for you
To help you see it through
Even though
Even though
(Repeat chorus)
(chorus)
Fly with me
On a carpet made of love
High music
We can play
Love can show the way
Everyday we'll be together
And forever
I love you
Of the seven ways of loving
We've discovered eight
While knowing all along
That seein' heaven's rays of light
Upon our fate
Is teachin' us the song
(Repeat chorus)
(chorus)
Sometimes we're up
Sometimes we're down
Love is gone, then it's all around
When we're together everyday
Sometimes we're up
Sometimes we're down
Love is gone, then it's all around
When we're together everyday
Love is forever
When we're together we're free
Love is forever
I'm so glad that this time
It's you and me
Though we don't always agree
On what we think we should be
There's a free that we both understand
Every woman and every man
Must see it sometimes
Sometimes
'Cause any love that you share
Should be handled with care
'Cause we know what is right
Can't be wrong
Someone's always playin' our song
And we sing it sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
Repeat Chorus
Love is love forever
When we're together
Love is love forever
When we're together, we're free
Love is love forever
When we're together, oh
I'm so glad it's you and me
(chorus)
Love's got me turnin' around
Like a ship gone aground
In the midst of a hurricane
I think it's time to be careless
Where I put my love
(chorus)
Many times have I been
In the shape that I'm in
You'd think that I'd know by now
That now's the time to be careless
Where I put my love
I've been much more than willing
To kiss away your fears
When the tears we shed
Were much more than desire
Now our love's much less than thrilling
It takes more than memories
To light the fire
Light up the fire
Repeat chorus
But when you need me
I need you
Like a singer needs a song
Our love belongs
There's nothin' wrong
'Cause we've completed
The last link in the change
Chorus:
It's strange
When we rise above
Everything but love
Everything is perfectly
Arranged
Chorus:
Elayne
Elayne
In this whole wide world
You're the only girl
Who ever meant a goddamned
Thing to me
It took this fool
A long, long time to see
The change in you
Is changin' me
And where we're comin' from
The change in you
Is changin' me
No sooner said than done
Once a teacher
Told me son
That sailors on the sea
Would walk the line
From time to time
When they were needed
Every preacher knows
That one day
Everyone will need
A helping hand
To understand
To be completed
Is the last link in the change
Repeat Chorus
Together can be trying
When you want to run
From feeling like crying
When you're thinking love's done
You can tell yourself it's over
When you're feeling kinda low
When you know
That there's nobody
Who loves you more
Than I do
Chorus:
Love's given us the
Key to the kingdom
Freedom is you and me
Your lovin' has brought me
Something to give them
Freedom is you and me
You and me
I just want to thank you
For what you've done for me
I just want to thank you
'Cause you set me free
You're my one and only lover
You're the one I'm dreamin' of
And you know
That there's nobody
Who loves you more
Than I do
Repeat chorus
