1.
All or Nothing
|
I'd bet my soul on a roll of a dice
I hit the ground runnin'
And I never think twice
I'd brave the heat of a
Wild cat fire to satisfy
My animal desire
Can't stop me now
I've set my sights on you
Right to your heart
My aim is true, that's why
All or nothing at all
Is how I feel about it
Won't stand my back to the wall
I'll find my way around it
All or nothing at all
There's nothing I won't do
And the one thing I want
All of is you
Don't want to labor at love
Rather do without
Won't carry the tourch
I want to burn down the house
I wanna give you all my lovin'
Baby listen to this
I would never settle for
Anything less
Can't stop me now
Once you've got me goin'
Can't slow me down
I'm driven by your motion |
2.
Halfway to Heaven
|
Another day has come
Can't face it on my own
I almost let you walk away
I guess I should have known
I'll give it to you straight
'Cause some things just can't wait
I've got to make it up to you
And I'll pray it's not too late
'Cause when you look at me
With those sad blue eyes
It stops me cold and I realize
You're all I need tonight
We're halfway to heaven
Lyin' beside you on a night
So still
We're halfway to heaven
I ask you if you'll stay and baby
Say you will
So what's a man to do
To get it through to you
Another lost and lonely night
Would break this heart in two
So let's take a chance
And it'll be alright
Just put your trust in me tonight
Girl we're almost there
We're halfway to heaven
There's something magic
'Bout the way you kiss
We're halfway to heaven
Runnin' with you baby
On a night like this
We're halfway to heaven
I never dreamed that
I could get this high
We're halfway to heaven
Girl I couldn't leave you
Even if I tried
You got me captured
In a crazy spin
You got me so I just
Can't tell the shape I'm in |
3.
I'll Cry for You
|
I never dreamed that
I could fall
But something's come
Over me
Now I'm sittin' starin'
At the wall
Afraid for my sanity
The sound of your voice
The touch of your skin
It's hauntin' me
I'm still tryin' to come
To my senses
But I can't look back
So I'm takin' my chances
I wanna give you my heart
Give you my soul
I wanna lay in your arms
Never let go
Don't wanna live my
Life without you
But I know when you're gone
Like a fire needs a spark
Like a fool in the dark
I'll cry for you
Wonderin' why I'm
Runnin' scared
From what I belive in
I know that love
Is just another word
To say what I'm feelin'
For once in my life
The future is mine
It's callin' me
I've been searchin' so long
For an answer
But it's too late now
So I'm takin' my chances |
4.
A Little Bit of Lovin'
|
Give a little bit of lovin'
And I'll treat you right
Give a little bit of lovin'
And I'll stay the night
Just like a gypsy
I come to town
I've been longin' for that girl
I left behind
I might be a fool yeah
But come what may
I've been lovin' every minute
Everyday
Give a little bit of lovin'
And I'll treat you right
Give a little bit of lovin'
And I'll stay the night
I don't need nobody
I stand alone
But there's a woman that I
Like to call my own
I ain't got the money
To make her shine
But I've got plenty other ways
To make her mine
Give a little bit of lovin'
And I'll treat you right
Give a little bit of lovin'
And I'll stay the night
You got to give me some lovin'
I'm gonna make you feel so good
She's got deadly eyes
A twisted mind
She's one in a million
One of a kind
Cold chills runnin'
Down to the bone
She gives me lovin'
Like I've never known
We tumble and roll over
'Til the break of day
She's so wild
Blows my world away
With her there's nothin'
I wouldn't do
Baby we've got something
To hold on to
Lay it down and it's plain to see
The woman's got the best of me |
5.
Talk to Me
|
It's not like before baby
Tou can't come running back no more
And talk to me
When it cuts like a knife
You just talk to me baby
When the feelin' ain't right
Who do you think you're foolin'
Not me
Septermber rain i sfallin'
I see you on the street
Just passin' by
And though your lips are smilin'
I can see the coldness in your eyes
So hell is what you've been through
I never thought I'd see you
'Round here no more
Now you need someone to talk to
Just like before
You only talk to me
When it cuts like a knife
You just talk to me baby
When you hurt deep inside
Who do you think you're foolin'
Not me
You had to have it your way
From you that was a promise
And a threat
Now you look for consulation
Just remember what you give
Is what you get
The hardest part was changin'
I was holdin' on to dreams
From yesterday
I used to be here waitin'
Here's what I say
You only talk to me
When it cuts like a knife
You just talk to me baby
When the feelin' ain't right
Who do you think you're foolin'
Not me |

Seventh Sign
|
I've been sailin' 'cross the ocean
With the devil by my side
I've been flyin 'cross the great
Blue sky
But there's nowhere to hide
I've been standin' by the crossroads
I've been lookin' for a clue
I've been prayin' for the
Human race
There's not a lot I can do
I've been waitin' for the warnin'
As we look to the sky
Now we all seem lost
If you ask me why
It's the seventh sign
See the blood-red sky tonight
It's the sevents sign
See the blood-red sky
There's a voice out on the wasteland
It says we're runnin' out of time
I used to think the world
Could change
Lord I must have been blind
I've been cryin'out for mankind
I've been hangin' on to faith
But the comin' of a messenger
Says it's much too late
We could all come together
And gather all around
What good is war when we
All go down |

Prisoners in Paradise
|
"I want to learn how to fly"
"I want to be respected"
"I want to get lucky"
"I want to get out of this dump"
"I just want to watch TV"
"I want to be loved"
"I want to be different"
"I want a brother and sister"
"I'd just rather be forgotten"
"I want to save the world"
"I want to be understood"
"I want to be rich"
"Man, I just want to be somebody"
Julie's got the word today
She lost her job just one last pay
Life don't come easy anymore
Still strugglin'on by herself
Got a picture of Jimmy
There on the shelf
And she looks at him and says
Why did we let it go
I know that sometimes baby
We didn't see things eye-to-eye
But I got just one question
Did we have to say goodbye
Just like prisoners in paradise
Still far from heaven's door
We had it all but still we
Wanted more
Now I realize that I can't
Turn back the future's here
To stay but hey
We're just children of tomorrow
Hangin' on to yesterday
Jimmy still recalls the night
When he took his guitar
And headed on out
To find the big time
That was his dream
He gave up his past
And made it alright
But there's something missin'
In his heart tonight
Sometimes what you want
Ain't what you need
He misses drivin' down
To the lake at night
Holdin' his baby
In his arms so tight
Ain't it hard to find illusions
When you're livin' in a memory
Just like prisoners in paradise
So close but yet so far
There will come a time
No matter who you are
When you ask yourself
Was it right or wrong
For me to turn away but hey
We're just children of tomorrow
Hangin' on to yesterday |

Bad Blood
|
Always lookin' for a good time
She came on just like a hurricane
Man she was far too hot to handle
Like fightin' fire with gasoline
All I needed was compassion
I'd been out there on my own too long
But she hungered for my lovin'
That first bite chilled me
To the bone
Bad blood
Runnin' through my veins
Bad, bad blood
Is drivin' me insane
Hey I've become a wild one
I'm not quite the man I used to be
Just like livin' on a knife edge
That woman put a spell on me
Bad blood
Runnin' through my veins
Bad, bad blood
Is drivin' me insane
Always lookin' for a good time
I come on just like a hurricane
Now I'm far too hot to handle
Like fightin' fire with gasoline |

Homeland
|
Remember that summer
Down by the shoreline
I still can hear those old
Forgotten songs
And we made promises
To last forever
I just can't belive those
Days are gone
There used to be a place
That we could call our own
We used to think tomorrow
Was a long, long time
But sadness filled my heart
When I knew the moment had come
When I had to leave those days
Behind
I felt so free
Where I wanted to be
The days went so fast
How I wish they could last
So far from my homeland
I'm lost in time
My soul's still searchin'
For that peace of mind
Those sacred landscapes
Come miles around
And my heart's still beatin'
For those country grounds
Remember when our hearts
Were filled with laughter
It echoes in my trail
Of fallen tears
But no matter where I am today
Or what the future might bring
I will remember those
Long gone years
I can't let go
I wanna know
Does it have to end
For the best of friends
So far from my homeland
I'm lost in time
And my soul's still searchin'
For that peace of mind
Those sacred landscapes
Come miles around
And my heart's still beatin'
For those country grounds
Lord I know
That those days are gone
Long, long, gone
I felt so free
Where I wanted to be
The days went so fast
How I wish they could last |

Got Your Mind in the Gutter
|
What's a man to do
When he's bein' accused
I hear you talkin'
It's real bad news
Nothin' happened with
That girl last night
So baby won't you
Tell me why
You got your mind in the gutter
You got your mind in the gutter
You're jumpin' to conclusions
And it's plain to see
You got your mind in the gutter
Don't blame me
So you say I'm foolin' 'round
Playin' the field
Baby let me tell you
It's no big deal
No I ain't gettin'
A little on the side
But I feel like a prisoner
With both hands tied
You say you found a number
On a matchbook in my coat
And lipstick smeared
On my shirt
I hate to disappoint you
And it scares me to death
That if your shovel ain't full
You just keep diggin' up
Some dirt
You've pushed me into a corner
You've got my back to thte wall
I stand accused of bein'
Some kind of liar
Hey I wouldn't hose you down
If you were on fire
You've got your mind in the gutter
You've got your mind in the gutter
Baby I keep those women
Far away from my skin
But since your mind's
In the gutter
Man I just can't win
I took her aside
To give her my point of view
What you tryin' to pull babe
It just ain't true
There should be a warnin'
Up above your cage
Sayin' don't feed the lion
She's in a state of rage
How can I prove
That I've done nothin' wrong
You know in your heart
That you're all that I want
Youre all fired up
Just a little bit too tight
Now babe what can I tell you
You just ain't right
Ain't got a bad reputation
So why you tearin' it down
Don't know what happened
But your mind's gone south
No I can't believe what comes
Out of your mouth
You've got your mind in the gutter
You've got your mind in the gutter
I know what you're sayin'
But it just ain't true
You've got your mind in the gutter
Baby shame on you
So you say I'm foolin' 'round
Playin' the field
You know better
'Cause it's no big deal
I ain't gettin' a little
On the side
Baby what can I tell you
You just ain't right |
11.
'Til My Heart Beats Down Your Door
|
Hey you should know by now
I'm gonna take you down
Can't keep me out forever
'Cause now I'm back around
Put your best defense
I've made up my mind
I ain't like the others
I'm gonna make you mine
I'm gonna keep on knockin'
Knockin' like before
'Til my heart beats down your door
I'm gonna keep on comin'
Comin' back for more
'Til my heart
'Til my heart beats down your door
Baby you know you love me
So why do you pretend
When I could make you happy
If you just let me in
Well I remember better days
With you by my side
I'll keep you warm forever
And if it takes all night |

Girl from Lebanon
|
It's time to break out from the cage
It's time to change your ways
It's time to find those
Shattered dreams
That vanished in the haze
It's time to lose those
Concrete shoes
They held you down too long 'cause
Trouble days have come and gone
And the night has just begun
Another dawn is yet to come
Carry on my little one
Girl from lebanon
It's time to meet the changes
They come from all around
It's time for you to realize
Freedom has been found
It's time to meet the future
And forget about the past
It's time to make a good thing last
And the night has just begun
Another dawn is yet to come
Carry on my little one
Girl from Lebanon
It's time to cut the barbwire
And walk out on the street
It's time that we stayed
Up all night
And lose all kinds of sleep
It's time to wear those bright
Blue jeans
And let your hair hang down
The word of peace is goin' 'round |
