    1. How Do Ya Feel Tonight

      Is there anybody out there?
      Anyone that's loved in vain
      anyone that feels the same

      Is there anybody waiting?
      Waiting for a chance to win
      To give it up and start again

      We all need something new
      Something that is true
      And someone else to feel it too

      I feel so high - no one else would know it
      I don't know why i feel the way i do
      I can't let go - and I'm not scared to show it

      Cuz being here feels right
      Tell me - how do ya feel tonight?

      Is there anybody out there?
      Anyone that can't explain
      Anyone that feels no pain

      Is there anybody dreaming
      Dreaming of a better day
      When everything goes your way

      We all need something new
      Something that is true
      And someone else to feel it too
      Someone just like you

    2. C'mon C'mon C'mon

      C'mon c'mon c'mon - we're gonna make it home tonight
      C'mon c'mon c'mon - everything's gonna be alright

      The nite is alive - the world is asleep
      Dreaming of promises they can't keep
      We gotta be tough we gotta be strong
      It's only love we've been waiting on

      So c'mon c'mon c'mon - we're gonna make it home tonight
      C'mon c'mon c'mon - everything's gonna be alright

      It's only a dream - it's all in your head
      It's only some words somebody said
      We can believe what we wanna believe
      And you can believe in me


    3. Getaway

      Drove all night form new york city
      In your best friend's car
      Knocked on my door about five thirty
      Nursing a broken heart
      Still got your keys in your back pocket - still got your jacket on
      Back door's oben baby - I don't lock it
      We can leave anytime we want

      I got my motor runnin' - fingers drummin'
      I never planned to stay
      Getaway - ya know it's now or never
      Getaway - nobody lives forever
      We're only waitin' just to make you getaway

      Hey baby we were good together
      Seemed like you'd always be my girl
      But looking back now we were just too clever
      Thinking love could change the world
      Ya know there's no point in waitin' hesitating
      We gotta leave today


    4. On A Day Like Today

      Free is all you gotta be
      Dream dreams no one else can see
      Sometimes ya wanna run away
      But ya never know what might be comin' round your way
      Ya ya ya

      On a day like today
      The whole world could change
      The sun's gonna shine
      Shine thru the rain
      On a day like today
      Ya never wanna see the sun go down
      Ya never wanna see the sun go down

      Somewhere - there's a place for you
      I know that you believe it too
      Sometimes if you wanna get away
      All ya gotta know is what we got is here to stay
      All the way

      On a day like today - the whole world could change
      The sun's gonna shine - shine thru the rain
      On a day like today - no one complains
      Free to be pure - free to be sane

      On a day like today Ya never wanna see the sun go down
      Ya never wanna see the sun go down

      Free is all we gotta be
      Dream dreams no one else can see
      But ya never know what might be comin' for you and me
      Ya it's gonna be

      On a day like today - the whole world could change
      The sun's gonna shine - shine thru the rain
      On a day like today - no one complains
      Free to be pure - free to be saved
      On a day like today
      Ya never wanna see the sun go down
      Ya never wanna see the sun go down

    5. Fearless

      It's 3àm - and i'm lying here next to you
      What cha gonna do?
      Will you tell a story - when he asks you where the hell you've been
      Or will you tell the truth?

      I ain't holdin' back - i know where i stand
      I just want to be with you
      Ya gotta face the fact - baby i'm your man
      I've gotta get it through to you
      I'm fearless

      You don't have to hide - you don't have to share half your life
      With some other guy
      Baby we're so strong - and it's been going on so long
      It's time to make it right - 'want you to spend the night

      I ain't holdin' back - i know where i stand
      I just want to be with you
      Ya gotta face the fact - baby i'm your man
      I've gotta get it through to you
      I'm fearless

    6. I'm A Liar

      Maybe i told you right from the start
      You can have me
      But you can't have my heart
      It's easy enough to say but i couldn't care less
      Ya i mighta told you you were on my mind
      Guess i talked a pretty good line
      But hey i can talk all day
      But i just can't confess

      That i'm a liar
      I'm a victim of desire
      I'm a moth into the fire
      I'm over my head - forget what i said
      Tell ya i'm a liar
      I'm just walking on the wire
      I couldn't get much higher
      I'm over my head - forget what i said
      Baby i'm a liar

      When i told you i was hard to pin down
      Ya know i was just messin around
      Guess you know by now that's just my way
      And if you want stories - well i got a few
      But hey - this is the truth i swear to you
      how many more times do you want me to say...

      If i told ya to go away
      Baby you can't believe a thing i say
      Listen...

    7. Cloud Number Nine

      Clue number one was when you knocked on my door
      Clue number two was the look that you wore
      N' that's when i knew, it was a pretty good sign
      That something was wrong up on cloud number nine

      Well it's a long way up and we won't come down tonight
      Well it may be wrong but baby it sure feels right

      And the moon is out and the stars are bright
      And whatever comes s'gonna be alright
      Cause tonight you will be mine - up on cloud number nine
      And there ain't no place that i'd rather be
      And we can't go back but you're here with me
      Yeah, the weather is really fine - up on cloud number nine

      Now he hurt you and you hurt me
      And that wasn't the way it was supposed to be
      So baby tonight let's leave the world behind
      And spend some time up on cloud number nine

      Well it's a long way up and we won't come down tonight
      Well it may be wrong but baby it sure feels right

      Well we won't come down tonight
      Ya we won't come down tonight
      No we won't come down tonight

      We can watch the world go by - up on cloud number nine...

    8. When You're Gone

      I've been wandering around the house all night
      Wondering what the hell to do
      I'm trying to concentrate but all i can think of is you
      Well the phone don't ring cuz my friends ain't home
      I'm tired of being all alone
      Got the tv on cuz the radio's playing songs that remind me of you

      Baby when you're gone - i realize i'm in love
      The days go on and on - and the nights just seem so long
      Even food don't taste that good - dnnk ain't doing what it should
      Things just feel so wrong - baby when you're gone

      I've been driving up and down these streets
      Trying to find somewhere to go
      Ya i'm lookin' for a familiar face but there's no one i know
      This is torture - this is pain - it feels like i'm gonna go insane
      I hope you're coming back real soon - cuz i don't know what to do

    9. Inside Out

      The biggest lie you ever told - your deepest fear 'bout growin' old
      The longest night you ever spent - the angriest letter you never sent
      The boy you swore you'd never leave - the one you kissed on new year's eve
      The sweetest dream you had last night - your darkest hour, your hardest fight

      I wanna know you - like i know myself
      I'm waitin' for you - there ain't no one else
      Talk to me baby - scream and shout
      I want to know you - inside out
      I wanna dig down deep - i wanna lose some sleep
      I wanna scream & shout - i wanna know you inside out
      I wanna take my time - i wanna know your mind
      Ya know there ain't no doubt - i wanna know you inside out

      The saddest song you ever heard - the most you said with just one word
      The loneliest prayer you ever prayed - the truest vow you ever made
      What makes you laugh, what makes you cry
      What makes you mad, what gets you by Your highest high, your lowest low - these are the things i want to know I wanna know you - like i know myself I'm waitin' for you - there ain't no one else Talk to me baby - scream and shout I want to know you - inside out I wanna dig down deep - i wanna lose some sleep I wanna scream & shout - i wanna know you inside out I wanna take my time - i wanna know your mind Ya know there ain't no doubt - i wanna know you inside out I wanna know your soul - i wanna lose control
      C'mon n' let it out - i wanna know you inside out
      Ya gotta dig down deep - i wanna lose some sleep
      I wanna scream & shout - i wanna know you inside out
      Tell me everything...

    10. If I Had You

      If i was blind - you could make me see
      If i was down - you could comfort me
      Well i ain't got a lot - but what i got is true
      There's nothing that i can't do - if i had you

      I could walk on water - i could dance on air
      Go any place - go anywhere
      Could climb the empire state - and the rockies too
      There's nothing that i can't do - if i had you

      If i had you - for what else could i pray?
      If i had you - i could make my way
      The sun is up - the sky is blue
      There's nothing that i can't do - if i had you

      If i had you - for what else could i plead?
      If i had you - i'd have all i need
      The sun is up - the sky is blue
      There's nothing that i can't do - if i had you
      There's nothing that i can't do - if i had you

    11. Before The Night Is Over

      Hey baby - i got someone n' you got someone too
      Hey baby - i don't kow what we're gonna do
      How can something wrong feels o right
      C'mon baby - hold on tight
      Before the night is over
      We gonna get what we desire
      Remember what i told ya
      This could set our hearts on fire

      Hey baby - we're old enough to know that it's a sin
      Hey baby the door is open slide on in
      This feels too good to be true
      I'll tell ya what i want to do

      Before the night is over
      We gonna get what we desire
      Remember what i told ya
      This could set our hearts on fire

      I don't wanna tell a lie
      This is something we can't hide

    12. I Don't Wanna Live Forever

      All I want is a real fast car
      Wanna go too fast - i wanna go too far
      I wanna take a bite of this sweet sweet life
      While the gettin's good and the time right
      I wanna fill my cup - i wanna drink it up

      I don't wanna live forever
      I just wanna go for broke
      Gonna ride thru any kind of weather
      Go out in a cloud of smoke
      I don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever
      Don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

      All i need is a good excuse
      You can cut my reins and turn me loose
      I'm gonna pull my weight i'm gonna push my luck
      I'm gonna go down fightin' when my time is up
      You know i don't care - i'm gonna get my share

      I don't wanna live forever
      I just wanna go for broke
      Gonna ride thru any kind of weather
      Go out in cloud of smoke
      I don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever
      Don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

      I wanna fill my cup - i wanna drink it up
      Ya - i don't care i wanna get my share

      I don't wanna live forever...

    13. Where Angels Fear To Tread

      Well i'm wrapped around your finger
      I'm never letting go
      You know i'm happy just to linger
      And let the feel ing flow

      This must be an illusion
      I know this can't be real
      But right here and right now
      This is paradise i feel

      I never thought i'd find someone to move me
      Someone who could see right thru me
      You found your way into my head
      Where even angels fear to tread

      Don't wanna go out walkin'
      Don't wanna take a drive
      Don't wanna move from this sweet spot baby
      While this feelin's still alive

      The way we fit together
      It's like we're meant to be
      And right here and right now
      This is paradise to me

    14. Lie To Me

      I walked in - you walked out
      I knew right then - something was up
      Ya said 'don't ask me no questions - won't tell ya no lies'
      It comes as such a surprise
      Think i'll close my eyes - to the pain
      Cuz tonight i don't wanna know where you've bin

      So won't you lie to me
      Then i can't be mistaken
      Swear that you will lie to me
      I don't wanna hear my heart breakin'

      Tell me the things that i wanna hear
      I don't give a damn if you ain't sincere
      Baby just swear, (baby just swear)
      Swear that you'll lie (swear that you'll lie) to me

      You walked in - i walked out
      Baby this ain't what - we've bin about
      If i touched your hand - would ya pull it away
      Was it something i didn't say
      I forgive ya all - the same
      But tonight i don't wanna know where you've bin

      (chorus)

      You can't say the things you want
      I won't let ya tell the truth
      Cuz i don't (cuz i don't) give a damn (give a damn)
      And i don't (and i don't) wanna know where you bin
