1. Ready Or Not
Chorus:
Here I come ready or not
Here I come ready to go
Here I come ready or not
Here I come ready to go
VERSE:
Something that you said
Goes 'round my head
You know I'm gonna ride tonight
You look at me
But all I want to see
Is you tonight
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Just a question of time
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Now that I've made up my mind
Chorus:
Here I come ready or not ...
Verse:
Girl you got the look
As if you wrote the book
But I don't understand
How one girl can be so sure
You've got me in the palm of your hand
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Just a question of time
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Now that I've made up my mind
Chorus:
Here I come ready or not. ..
2. Heartache
Heartache's done nothing but cover me
Heartache don't know when to let me be
Heartache won't learn no lesson in love
I get no reply or tell-tale lie
It's all the same in love
You give me a hard time
But I can't deny
It's you I'm thinking of
Oh lonely nights have taken their toll
I don't care anymore
I just want you to know
There's a place in my heart
You're a part of my soul
And I Can't let go
Heartache's done nothing but cover me
Heartache don't know when to let me be
Heartache won't learn no lesson in love
I know there's a way, I'm sure there's a way
though it seems we're worlds apart
If love is the crime
then it's yours and it's mine
We're prisoners of our hearts
Oh lonely nights, they have taken their toll
I don't care anymore
I just want you to know
there was nothing to gain
losing passion for pain
but I won't let go
Heartache's done nothing but cover me
Heartache don't know when to let me be
Heartache won't learn no lesson in love
Oh lonely nights have taken their toll
I don't care anymore
I just want you to know
there was nothing to gain
losing passion for pain
but I won't let go
Heartache's done nothing but cover me
Heartache don't know when to let me be
Heartache won't learn no lesson in love
3. Midnight Blue
Ain't got no regrets and I ain't losin' track
Of which way I'm going
I ain't gonna double back
no.
Don't want no misplay
put on no display
An angel? No! But I know my way
oh yeah
oh.
I used to follow
yeah
that's true
but my following days are over
Now I iust got to follow through.
I remember what my father said.
He said: Son
life is simple
it's either cherry red or -
Midnight blue
oh
midnight blue
oh!
You were the restless one and you did not care
That I was the trouble boy
lookin' for a double dare.
I won't apologize for the things I've done and said
But when I win your heart I'm gonna paint it cherry red.
I don't want to talk about it
what you do to me
I can't live without it
and you might think that it's
Much too soon for us to go this far into the -
Midnight blue
oh
it's midnight blue
oh!
Things could be difFerent
but that's be a shame
'Cause I'm the one who could feel the sun
right in the pouring rain.
I won't say where and I don't know when
But soon there's gonna come a day
baby
I'll be back again.
Yeah
I'll be back for you
you see
I'm saving up my love.
Midnight blue
oh
into the midnight blue
oh!
Another midnight blue
oh
give me this midnight blue
oh!
Into the midnight blue
oh
midnight blue
oh
midnight blue
oh!
4. Time
There was a girl, she led a life of a runaway
She didn't dream, she couldn't feel, she had to get away
from everything she knows
Where do you go?
Who do you turn to, when you're all alone?
The world is cold do what you have to, to make it on your own
It takes Time to live
Time to love
Time to do anything you're thinking of
Take Time... , cause
Time rolls on
There was a boy, he had a dream, he had to get away
A need to see, the other side of life so far away
from the world he knows
The world is hard, but there's a small chance
I know how he feels
To chase a dream, you got to run, boy
You've got to make it real
It takes Time to live
Time to love
Time to do anything you're thinking of
Take Time... , cause
Time rolls on
It takes Time to live
Time to love
Time to do anything you're thinking of
Take Time... , cause
Time rolls on
You have been my dream
Do you believe in me?
Then let our hearts be strong
and let it go go go go
It takes Time to live
Time to love
Time to do anything you're thinking of
Take Time... , cause
Time rolls on
(4x)
5. If I Don't Have You
Another lonely day
Watching the blues turn to gray
I never felt so much sorrow
Don't know if I can face tomorrow
Don't know where this love lies
Need to know but that's all right
Feel lost and alone and last
I need to be needed
Not if I don't have you
There's nothing for me tomorrow
Not if I don't have you
Loneliness turns to sorrow
Another lonely day
Watching the blues turn to gray
I never felt so much sorrow
Don't know if I can face tomorrow
Don't let this love die
Like the sun at last daylight
You can't leave love alone
How long would it last
Not if I don't have you
There's nothing for me tomorrow
Not if I don't have you
Loneliness turns to sorrow
Another lonely day
6. She's Got To Know
She's got to know
She's got to know why
you love her so
tell her why
show her how you love her hard
she got to know
give her reason
show her why
I can't believe
you don't want to see,
she's slipping away from you
can't you remember
the way you won her heart
you see it's tearing her apart
you don't say the things you used to
She's got to know
She's got to know why
you love her so
tell her why
show her how you love her hard
I know this love is like a raging sea
but she's drifting away, away from you
you'd better think about it
can you do without it?
She's got to know what you want to do
You better tell her
oh yeah
I said tell her
Oh yeah
Tell her
Oh yeah
She's got to know
I can't believe
you don't want to see
she won't be hanging around
she's your woman
she makes you proud
you feel ten foot tall
strutting 'round this town
She needs to be seen
seen by your side
Walking hand in hand
with her loving man
She dresses up for you
does her hair for you
She wears your ring
it means everything
Now take a look around
who's looking at your woman
They wished they had
the sweet thing that you have
Take my advice
don't want to say it twice
Don't let her go
oh no no no
You've got to
hold her
squeeze her
you know how to please her
Show her the soul of a man
Now if everything feels right
you tell her tonight
she's gonna love you like
no one else can
You'd better tell her
oh yeah
Come on tell her...
oh yeah
I said tell her
oh yeah
She's got to know
7. Arrow Thru Your Heart
I can't take her light
She's walking dynamite
We go sin for sin
Sometimes I wish I'd been more careful
She's got her lights on low
You better come on slow
The way she keeps her late night promises
It's all to let you know
She'll put an arrow thru your heart
Arrow thru your heart
She'll put an arrow thru your heart
Put an arrow thru your heart
Monday-I need her
Tuesday-I need her more
Wednesday-still no answer when
Thursday-I know she's home
She calls late, late Friday night
Whatever's wrong she will make it right
Saturday-I get my way
but Sunday-I need her again
She'll put an arrow thru your heart
An arrow thru your heart
Arrow thru your heart
An arrow thru your heart
Another arrow thru your heart
Yeah an arrow thru your heart
need to hit me hard
Arrow through your heart
An arrow thru your heart
LEAD GUITAR SOLO
She'll put an arrow thru your heart
Arrow thru your heart
She'll put an arrow thru your heart again
An arrow thru your heart again
Arrow thru your heart
(Arrow thru your heart)
Arrow thru your heart
Arrow thru your heart
Arrow thru your heart
Arrow thru your heart
Arrow thru your heart, yeah
Put an arrow thru your heart
Put an arrow thru your heart
Arrow thru your heart
Arrow thru your heart
8. Until I Make You Mine
I see your face and I remember when
So much has changed between now and then
There was a time you had to make up your mind
The feeling grows, it was born on tears
and kept alive for all these years
But I won't rest until I make you mine, all mine
I used to fantasize that you were mine
You tried to hide your feelings but I'm not blind
I saw it when I looked into your eyes
I've had a thing about you for a long, long time
Why do I wait? When I know nothing's changed
This love should fade, but feels the same
I can't believe, that you still think of me
How many times have I been dreaming of?
Whispering the words, my words of love
I can't believe that you still dream about me
I used to fantasize that you were mine
You tried to hide your feelings, but I'm not blind
I saw it when I looked into your eyes
I've had a thing about you for a long, long time
Now I dream
Over and over again
The same dream
I'd better stop
I see your face and I remember when
So much has changed between now and then
There was a time you had to make up your mind
I used to fantasize that you were mine
You tried to hide your feelings, but I'm not blind
I saw it when I looked into your eyes
I've had a thing about you for a long, long time
For a long, long time
For a long, long time
I love you for a long, long time
9. Chain Of Love
I can't find, I can't find the words to rescue me
but this time, this time I've got to make you see
You, you were the one the only one who understands
Do you hear me?
Do you know what I need?
You've got to take me as I am
Saying it once, I'll say it again
No chain of love on me
Saying it once, I'll say it again
No chain of love on me
I can't lie, I can't lie, my heart will tell me true
You know me, you know me better than I think I want you to
Now, I go it alone
A solitary man
This is something I must do for myself
You got to take me as I am
Saying it once, I'll say it again
No chain of love on me
Saying it once, I'll say it again
No chain of love on me
Take a walk down Lonely Street once more
Take a walk down Lonely Street once more
Take a walk down Lonely Street once more
Saying it once, I'll say it again
No chain of love on me
Saying it once, I'll say it again
No chain of love on me
Saying it once, I'll say it again
No chain of love on me
Saying it once, I'll say it again
No chain of love on me
Let's take a walk
Take a walk down Lonely Street once more
Take a walk down Lonely Street once more
Take a walk down Lonely Street once more
Take a walk down Lonely Street once more
Take a walk down Lonely Street once more
Take a walk down Lonely Street once more
10. Lover Come Back
And you said we were thru but I already knew
It was over
Now it's all I can do, just to keep my promise to you
So lover come back
Back to the arms of the one who let you down
needs to hold you
I know I'm not an easy man but I'll do anything I can
just to hold you
Lover Come Back
Lover Come Back
Come on home
First you say that we'll try
Then you say it's goodbye
If I thought that you might
I would wait here all night
I feel a shadow cross my heart
I hear an echo of your voice in my mind
Now it's tearing me apart
'cause I've loved you for such a long time
Lover Come Back
Come Back
Come on home
Lover Come Back
Lover Come Back
Come on home
Lover Come Back
Lover Come Back
Lover Come Back
Ohhh, Lover Come Back
