After Dark

There not anything I would not do to ease your troubled mind

Where you are , there is a different feeling

I wake up , I'm on the ceilin' , opens up your eyes

What a shape ! Someone you can't forget for any time

Oh , let me show you mine , immediately

 

After dark where the lights start fading sweet and low

I wanna be there , I wanna be there

We leave immediately

After dark where the lights start fading sweet and low

I wanna be there , I wanna be there

We leave immediately

After dark

 

There is no limit that I would not go

if I could lie beside

Where you are , there is a different out there

Love in the jungle can be hard to realize

What a shape ! Someone you can't forget for any time

Oh , let me show you mine immediately

 

After dark where the lights are fading sweet and low

I wanna be there , I wanna be there

We leave immediately

After dark where the lights are fading sweet and low

I wanna be there , I wanna be there

We leave immediately

After dark

 

(break)

 

There is not anything I would not do to ease your troubled mind

Where you are , there is a different feeling

I wake up , I'm on the ceilin' ,opens up your eyes

What a shape ! Someone you can't forget for any time

Oh , let me show you mine immediately

 

After dark where the lights start fading sweet and low

I wanna be there , I wanna be there

We leave immediately

After dark where the lights start fading sweet and low

I wanna be there , I wanna be there

We leave immediately

After dark

Desire

Ah..... Ah....

We may be big or small or black or white , eternally

And black and white is you and me in a special light

We may be young or old or in between ,but this much I know

Together we can learn to grow

In a world that's ever turning it's back on you

If you give it all away ,

make it mine ,ine , ine , ine , mine

You are desire , ev'rything you need

I give you right or wrong

And you are the woman that I

base my whole existence on

And when I get to you my

desire is glowing in your light

 

These are the golden years we get to live

we lead the way , tomorrow we can start today

in a special light

Love could be good or bad or in between

but this much I learn

Baby , you and I can learn

In a world that's rearranging it's reality

If you give it all away

make it mine , ine , ine , ine , mine

You are desire , ev'rything you need

I give you right or wrong

And you are the woman that I

base my whole existence on

And when I get to you my

desire is glowing in your light

Ah...

And it's nice to light a fire

when it's cold outside

If you give it all away

make it mine , ine , ine , ine , mine

You are desire , ev'rything you need

I give you right or wrong

And you are the woman that I

base my whole existence on

And when I get to you my

desire is glowing in your light

 

(repeat last 3 lines of last verse and fade out )

 

 

Wherever You Are

There is a beautiful woman , an ordinary guy

You let her into your heart,

It's a part of the show but you never know why

You fall in love in a minute and it's a bottomless well

and she'd be draggin' you down 'til you just wanna die

It's a livin' hell

 

Wherever you go , you live inside of me

I was born to make you see what you never learned

Wherever you are , we'll let the lovin' go down

Lovin' ev'ry minute

The seconds , the hours , that you wait around

What if I like to play but the world gets in the way

Instead of loving you I'm losing you

and losing just don't pay

 

Somebody give me the night

Give me a chance to feel

I see your face in the sky ,

in the moon and the stars

but you know it ain't real

You battle love to the limit

Ah ,but you never can win

You finish up cryin' tears in the

wild woods but you can't give in

 

Wherever you are , we'll let the lovin' go down

Lovin' every minute

The seconds , the hours , that you wait around

What if I like to play but the world gets in the way

Instead of loving you , I'm losing you

and losing just don't pay

 

Wherever you are ,you know the lovin' don't end

And though you make it a crime girl , I love ya

I try to talk to you woman

You got your mind on your own

There may be somebody else in your eyes girl

but you're still alone

 

Wherever you go my love will follow you

My dream will make it through

If I ever learn

 

Wherever you are , we'll let the lovin' go down

Loving every minute

The seconds , the hours , that you wait around

What if I like to play but the world gets in the way

Instead of loving you , I'm losing you

and losing just don't pay

Warm Ride

Come to me baby, I got something to say

I been changin' your direction ev'ry step of the way

Now I bring emotion and I bring desire

And I bring the potion to set you on fire

I know you need me, there can be no doubt

You got me held inside your love and I can't get out

We must surrender to the powers that be

The angel in you and the devil in me

 

Warm ride , warm ride , baby just the way you are

Warm ride , warm ride , we can reach the highest star

 

Now I warn you women, we are two of a kind

And we both know what's coming

We got one thing in mind

I bring the pleasure , satisfaction you learn

And I got the strength to make you burn, baby, burn

 

Warm ride , warm ride , baby just the way you are

Warm ride , warm ride , we can reach the highest star

 

Why are we waiting for this love on the rise

And why am I searching for the magic that's in your eyes

We must surrender to the powers that be

The angel in you and the devil in me

 

Warm ride, warm ride , baby just the way you are

Warm ride, warm ride , we can reach the highest star

 

(break)

 

Warm ride , warm ride , baby just the way you are

Warm ride , warm ride , we can reach the highest star

Rest Your Love On Me

Maybe you don't know me anymore then I know you

And I wouldn't blame you if you walked away

I been watchin' you all evenin' with the teardrops in your eyes

And it touches me much more then I can say

You know I'd hate to think that someone

could have hurt someone like you

And at times like this , I'd be right by your side

 

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

Put your worries in my pocket

Rest your love on me awhile

Lay your troubles on my shoulder

Put your worries in my pocket

Rest your love on me awhile

 

Saw you in the corner on the moment I walked in

Saw your lonely face across the room

No, I won't forget it

And the way it might have been

Why did you have to leave so soon

You know I'd hate to think that someone

could have loved you more than me

And if I was them, I'd be right by your side

 

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

Put your worries in my pocket

Rest your love on me awhile

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

Put your worries in my pocket

Rest your love on me awhile

 

How long must I wait for the last train to leave here

And the last chance to know

Get to think that I was born too soon

How long honey, when the lovin' don't come

I was there when you left me

Just didn't know how to begin

 

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

Put your worries in my pocket

Rest your love on me awhile

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

Put your worries in my pocket

Rest your love on me awhile

 

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

Put your worries in my pocket

Rest your love on me awhile

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

Put your worries in my pocket

Rest your love on me awhile

 

Lay your troubles on my shoulders

Put your worries in my pocket

Rest your love on me awhile

Lay your .. (fade out)

 

 

I Can't Help It

Oh, I , baby what a fool I am

First a boy and then a man , am I

And you , you're the heart of it all

You're the things I say and do

Am I wasting my time , hangin' around

You would be gone

 

But I can't help it

Ev'ry moment that I think about you

Ev'ry day and ev'ry night without you

I can't survive

Love , take away the lonely days gone by

Make it ev'ry day for you and I

Givin' me the chance to go on believin'

Girl , you gotta go on believin'

(Boy), you gotta go on believin'

 

You , baby you're the breathe I take

Coming for a heart in love , am I

And you , you're the heart of it all

You're the things I say and do

Am I wasting my time , hangin' around

You would be gone

 

But I can't help it

Ev'ry moment that I think about you

Ev'ry day and ev'ry night without you

I can't survive

Love , take away the lonely days gone by

Make it ev'ry day for you and I

Givin' me the chance to go on believin'

Girl , you gotta go on believin'

(Boy) , you gotta go on believin'

 

(break)

 

la.....

 

I can't help it

Ev'ry moment that I think about you

Ev'ry day and ev'ry night , I can't survive

Love , take away the lonely days gone by

Make it ev'ry day for you and I

Giving me a chance to , help it , help it

Ev'ry moment that I think about you

Ev'ry day and night I can't survive

Love , take away the lonely days gone by (fade out)

 

 

One Love

This time , I'm coming home

I gotta say I'm sorry

She was my one mistake

The last one I'll ever make

I broke you down

I told you lies

And in my way I made you love me

And through it all , there's gotta be

We go through those changes with

 

One love is better than many

Who cares what magic dream

there might have been

I'm lonely for one love

I live without any

Your love , the dream ,

make it real

 

This time , I'm someone else

I'm not the one who hurt you

You are my destiny

The love light inside of me

And who am I , if not for you

An empty soul with no tomorrow

Smiling eyes or starless skies

We go through those changes with

 

One love is better than many

Who cares what magic dream

there might have been

I'm lonely for one love

I live without any

Your love , the dream ,

make it real

 

Just give me

One love is better than many (fade out)

 

 

Someone I Ain't

It wasn't what you said

It's knowin' what you mean

You wanna spread your wings and fly

where the moment takes you off

Tryin' hard to be , someone you ain't

 

It wasn't how you laughed

that taught me how to cry

Convincin' me your heart is

a million dreams away

Tryin' hard to be , someone you ain't

 

You came along when I was down

and found a place within me

All the love I ever had can not

replace the things you did

I'm still in love with you and

even though you're gone

I gotta try , gotta try ,

gotta try , gotta try

 

Someday I'm gonna win

and get back to your arms

And here am I alone

with a memory of you

Tryin' hard to be , someone I ain't

 

We held it in , we gave it out

There wasn't any quarter

All the pieces fell apart

It still ain't like it ought to be

I'm still in love with you

even though you're gone

I gotta try , gotta try ,

gotta try , gotta try

 

You came along when I was down

and found a place within me

All the love I ever had can not

replace the things you did

I'm still in love with you

even though you're gone

I gotta try , gotta try

gotta try , gotta try

 

We held it in , we gave it out

There wasn't any quarter

All the pieces fell apart

It still ain't like it ought to be

I'm still in love with you

even though you're gone

I gotta try , gotta try ,

gotta try , gotta try (fade out)

Dreamin' On

She takes the heart of mine

She make it beat in time

In fact she's mine forever

And I'll never ever know the reason why

Funny how she writes letters to me

She's only human but she keeps goin' through me

We came to love in the neighborhood

And the love don't cease to grow

And if you need me darlin'

I'll be dreamin' on

Dreamin' on for you baby

Dreamin' on for you woman-child

Dreamin' on for you baby

 

She makes the skies grow dark

She makes the darkness bright

She make the wind grow warm in

the wake of another cold and stormy night

And anywhere she needs me I'll be runnin' to

'cause she fits me like a glove

And tho I'd really like to be with you

She gave me love when there was no love

And I would not let her go

So if you need me darlin'

I'll be dreamin' on

Dreamin' on for you baby

Dreamin' on for you woman-child

Dreamin' on for you baby

 

(break)

 

I'll be dreamin' on

Dreamin' on for you baby

Dreamin' on for you woman-child

Dreamin' on for you baby

 

Ah....

 

For you baby

Ah...(fade)
