I don't want you to misunderstand me
I want you to know one thing's for certain
Chorus:
Have some friendly conversation
Chorus
Just to have you near me
Chorus
What has happened to our town
Hadn't we better reach for more than just a dime
Chorus:
Families livin' in their cars and kids run numbers out of bars
Chorus
I guess I thought you'd be here forever
I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Chorus:
You found someone else you had every reason
After all of these years
Chorus
2nd Chorus:
Hold me forever
Lookin' back down the road of love
Chorus:
Sad empty faces
So in love, unaware of time
Chorus
Lookin' back down the road of love
Chorus
Shadows were hiding what I couldn't see
She was a vision I couldn't believe
Chorus:
Taking me places I've never been
I was a man all alone in the night
She was alive I was caught by the fire
Chorus
She was alive I was caught by the fire
There is a time when a man needs somebody to talk to
All alone, nothin' seemed to matter
There was a time when you needed someone to hold onto
All alone, suddenly you see her
Chorus:
There was a time when you needed someone to count on
Now she's here, nothin' seems to matter
Chorus
You know our love was meant to be
You should know, everywhere I go
Chorus:
And I know, yes I know that it's plain to see
You should know, everywhere I go
Chorus
When you love somebody
Do you love me
I've heard the same old story
Why do you take me
The lady's constant cruisin'
(CD version)
(Cassette/LP version)
Do you love me
Soft lights and quiet music
Please hold on, stay with me
You've got the look, they'll never forget
When the time is right, a star on your door
Go to sleep tonight and dream about it till the morning
You're a movie queen, familiar face
You're gonna be famous, you wanna go far
How will it feel being number one
Chorus
When I saw your face
Not too long ago
Chorus:
You were there for me
Chorus
I just wanna say what's on my mind
No need to hit me with an attitude
Because I haven't got the time
I surely love your company
And I won't take no if that's your answer
At least that's my philosophy
Stay the night
There's room enough here for two
Stay the night
I'd like to spend it with you
Stay the night
Why don't we call it a day
No one can stop us, nothing is in the way
And if you still don't have a clue
Unless there's something else you've got in mind
We've got better things to do
Here by my side
Just to have you near me
And when I get next to your body
Just to have you near me
I wanna tell you something, make it perfectly clear
We're gonna have a very good time
There's people sleeping on the ground
Cold and lost, they fear the night
Left alone, they'll lose the fight
Shouldn't we try to talk that boy out of his crime
Haven't you had it knowing nothing's getting solved
Maybe we'd better, better get involved
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop the hurtin'
Knowing pride won't pay the bills, men work jobs beneath their skills
Hadn't we better hand out more than just a line
Shouldn't we try to find solutions with our minds
Haven't you had it knowing nothing's getting solved
Maybe we'd better, better get involved
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what ya got until it's gone
And I found out just a little too late
Doin' you a favor, I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone and it was all wrong
Had no idea how much I cared
Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to
Living without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to ya babe
You're a hard habit to break
You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but living alone
I was spreading my love too thin
I'm still tryin' to shake it
Doin' much better, they say that it just takes time
But deep in the night it's an endless flight
I can't get ya out of my mind
Being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
I don't want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break
Whisper the words I've waited so long to hear
Love's sweet surrender
Steals an embrace and kisses away the tears
We can still feel the heartache
Pain and joy of an unrelenting love
Hold us together
Only you
You've got control
Only you
You've got the key to my heart
Only you
You've got control
Need your love, take me forever
Faded away when I fell in love with you
True love erases
Fear and the doubt, not knowing we'd see things through
In a world of illusion
We fell in love until the end of time
True love, forever
We can still feel the heartache
Pain and joy of an unrelenting love
Hold us together
Out in the dark, she was calling to me
Calling to me with a voice I'd never forget
I held her close so that she wouldn't leave
Suddenly helpless, hopelessly falling in love
I remember the feeling
I remember the way
She came and wrapped her arms around me
Told me that she cared
Said she'd always be there
She had the beauty that comes from within
Was I just dreaming, was it too good to be true
She came along and she showed me the light
I was confused then she told me the way
I was alone and I begged her to stay
She brought emotions that filled my desire
I should have noticed that something was wrong
When I awoke she was gone
She brought emotions that filled my desire
I should have noticed that something was wrong
When I awoke, I could see that she was gone
Someone to talk to, somebody who'll always be there
So alone, doesn't get much better
Can't explain somethin' that you're feelin'
For the very first time
Someone to hold you, somebody who's always sincere
So alone, you know you're gonna need her
Can't explain, somethin' that you're feelin'
For the very first time
Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the way that you're feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it's right
You needed someone to count on, somebody to care
She's so near, everything is better
Can't explain, somethin' that you're feelin'
For the very first time
The kind of love that lasts forever
And I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
Always on my mind, in my heart
In my soul
You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin'
No one needs you more than I need you
We're so in love when we're together
And I know that I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
Always on my mind, in my heart
In my soul
Till the end of time
When you love somebody
Always on my mind
No one needs you more than I
Do you need me
Tell me the truth tonight
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine?
So many times
For every lie you've told me
I'd be a rich man if I had a dime
Why do you rake me
Over your red hot coals
Why do you scold me
After you hold me
Why do you turn so cold
Explains the tears
The lonely path she's choosin'
If I didn't love her would I still be here
Hold on, stay with me
Fantasies best left behind
Hold on to love and just believe
In love that won't bind you
Don't leave me behind
Stay with me baby
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, don't you leave me behind
Do you need me
Tell me the truth this time
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine<
Forget your name
Some people try to use it
But loneliness chooses the rules to the game
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, don't you leave me behind
Please hold on, stay with me
Loneliness will leave you blind
Please hold on, stay with me
Fall in love with me this time
You wanna be noticed, but they haven't noticed yet
Taking you places that you've never been before
Where did you go?
Make a scene tonight, read about it in the morning
Appearing for the very first time, on the screen tonight
And when you wanna, they treat you like a Prima Donna
Prettiest woman in the whole of the human race
Name up in lights, everybody knows who you are
On with the show
Hard to imagine but I can't blame you for tryin'
How will it feel havin' so much fun
Hard to imagine but it's so electrifying
I could feel my heartbeat begin to race
In the still of the night
It was love at first sight
I was on my own
Never would have known
You'd come into my life
Now you're the love of my life
Once in a lifetime
Maybe the last time
Just the right time to fall in love
Once in a lifetime
For such a long time
I've been waiting for you
It was there for you
We were meant to be
Now we're fallin' in love
Finally fallin' in love
