1. Unchain My Heart
Unchain my heart, baby let me be
cause you don't care, help me, set me free
Unchain my heart, baby let me go
unchain my heart, cause you don't love me no more
everytime I call you on the phone
some fellow tells me that you're not at home
unchain my heart, set me free
Unchain my heart, baby let me be
unchain my heart, cause you don't care about me
you got me sewed up like a narrow case
but you let my love go to waste
unchain my heart, set me free
I'm under your spell, like a man in a trance, oh yeah
oh but you know damn well, that I don't stand a chance
Unchain my heart, let me go my way
unchain my heart, you were mean that day
why lead me through a life of misery
when you don't care a bag of beans for me
unchain my heart, oh please, let me be
I'm under your spell, just like a man in a trance, baby
but you know damn well, that I don't stand a chance
Please take my heart, let me go my way
unchain my heart, you were mean that day
why lead me through a life of misery
when you don't care a bag of beans for me
unchain my heart, oh please, set me free
2. You Can Leave Your Hat On
Baby take off your coat
real slow
and take off your shoes
I'll take your shoes
Baby take off your dress
yes yes yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
Go on over there
turn on the light
no all the lights
Come back here
stand on this chair
that's right
Raise your arms up to the air
no shake 'em
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
Sweet darling
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
feeling
you can leave your hat on
you can leave your hat on
you can leave your hat on
you can leave your hat on
Suspicious minds a talkin'
try'n' to tear us apart
they don't believe
in this love of mine
they don't know I love you
they don't know what love is
they don't know what love is
they don't know what love is
I know what love is
Sweet darling
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
Feeling
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
3. When The Night Comes
Hold on
I'll be back for you
It won't be long
But for now there's something else
That's calling me
So take me down a lonesome road
Point me east and let me go
That suitcase weighs me down
With memories
I just wanna be the one you run to
I just wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there for someone
When the night comes
Let's put all the cares behind us
And go where they'll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you
When the night comes
When the night comes
Two spirits in the night
That can leave before the morning light
When there's nothing left to lose
And nothing left to fear
So meet me on the edge of town
Won't keep you waiting I'll be 'round
Then you and I
We'll just roll right out of here
I just wanna be the one you run to
I just wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there for someone
When the night comes
Let's put all the cares behind us
And go where they'll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you
When the night comes
When the night comes
I know there'll be a time for you and I
Just take my hand and run away
Think of all the pieces of the shattered dream
We're gonna make it out some day
We'll be coming back
Coming back to stay
When the night comes
I wanna be the one you run to
When the night comes
To be the one you'd come to
I wanna be the one you run to
Ooh
I just wanna be the one you run to
Wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there for someone
When the night comes
Let's put all the cares behind us
And go where they'll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you
When the night comes
When the night comes
Ah ah when the night comes
When the night rolls down
Ah ah when the night comes
I wanna be with you
Ah ah when the night comes
Oh ah when the night comes in
Ah ah oh
Ah ah when the night comes
When the night comes
Ah ah when the night comes
I wanna be right by your side
Ah ah when the night comes
Yes baby
Ah ah oh
Don't do that to me woman
Ah ah oh
Ever stayed when the night time gets in here
Ah ah when the night comes
I wanna rise and up in the
When the night comes
Ah ah when the night comes
Ah ah oh
Love me
4. Up Where We Belong
Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world, few hearts survive
All I know is the way i feel
When it's real, I keep it alive
The road is long, there are mountains in your way
But we climb a step every day
Love lift us up where we belong, where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong, far from the world
We know, up where the clear wind blow
Some hang on to used to be
Live their lives, loking behind
All we have is here and now
All our life, out there to find
The road is long, there are mountains in our way,
But we climb them a step ev'ry day
Love lift us up where we belong, where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong, far from the world
We know, up where the clear winds blow
Time goes by, no time to cry, life's you and I
A live today
Love lift us up where we belong, where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong, far from the wolrd
We know, where the clear winds blow
5. Now That The Magic Has Gone
In my life
I've seen sorrow
Heartache and pain
I've been burned by the sunshine
And drowned in pouring rain
Had too many lovers
And enough love
I've been trialed and convicted
For things I'm not guilty of
I was locked in a prison
Till you came and set me free
So how can you say
You're no good for me
Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say, anyway
Now that the magic has gone
There's no sense in holding on
Baby now, now that the magic is gone
You know love can be tender
Love can be cruel
It can smile like an angel
While it treats you just like a fool
it captures and haunts you
Until you give in
And it stats the dice against you
in a game you never can win
Just when I was thinking
Maybe luck was here with me
You're telling me it's over
Say it's time for breaking free
Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say
Anyway baby
Now that magic has gone
There's no sense in holding on
Baby now
Now that the magic has gone
I won't try to hold you down
My mind tells me let go
But my heart keeps asking how
There's no prices for the loser
Only the winner takes the purse
Some say that love is a blessing
But to me it's just a curse
Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say
Ain't it babe
Now that the magic has gone
There's no sense in holding on
Baby, now that the magic has gone
Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say
6. Don't You Love Me Anymore
Oh oh
I thought I'd see you smile
When I walked in the door
Thought those arms of yours would be open wide
The way they were before
Why do you look at me
Like I'm some stranger now?
Why do you pull away
When you used to hold me so tight?
Don't you love me anymore?
Have your learned to live your life without me?
Don't you love me, anymore?
When did the fire go out?
Where did the feeling go?
Did it slip away when I wasn't there?
Baby now I've come home
I thought you'd want me babe
I was so sure you'd ask me to to stay
I thought you'd need this too
Guess it didn't work out that way
Don't you love me anymore?
Have you learned to live your life without me?
Don't you love me anymore?
Darling
When did the fire go out?
Where did the feeling go?
Why do you pull away
When you used to hold me so close baby?
Don't you love me anymore?
Have your learned to live your life without me?
Don't you love me anymore?
Don't you love me anymore?
Have your learned to live your life without me ?
7. I Can Hear The River
It's so cold on this balancing beam
I lose my breath each time I scream
All the time that it takes on this cliff
I simply wish that you were here
I must be in love with you
Be in love with you
Be in love with you
I must be in love with you
I think you're the reason
I can see the water
I don't feel so lonely
That I hear the river
On a night like tonight in the park
I sit alone out in the dark
On the days I'm waiting for you
It seems that
Water must break through
I must be in love with you
Yes be in love with you
I can hear the river
I can see the water
I must be in love with you
When I'm near the river
I see the bridges
I can feel the morning
I can almost touch you
When I'm near the river
Be in love with you
I can hear the river
Can see the water
I don't feel so lonely
When I'm near the river
I hear the river tide
Now that I feel the morning
I don't feel so lonely
When I'm near the river
Hear the tide
8. Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word
What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there
What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word
9. Shelter Me
This ain't no place for losers
Or the innocent of mind
It's a full time job
For anyone, to stay alive
The streets have shallow boundaries
For the war that's everyone
What a wasteland for
Broken dreams and hired guns
Shelter me, baby shelter me
When I'm sitting like I'm losing ground
Shelter me
I've gone to sleep
But when I open
The other goes my tears
In the darkness
I can I can hide my heart
But non of my fears
In the morning
Like a soldier
I look closed up battleground
Another day
Another part of me
And the world goes round
Shelter me
Won't you shelter me
When I'm sitting like I'm losing ground
Shelter me
Won't you shelter me
Oh, shelter me
When I lose control
Of my own home
Shelter me
Everytime time I tumble down
I want to pack it up and leave this town
But when I finally get the nerve
Get cleared out of the shoes
I'm thanking you
I'm thanking you
Baby shelter me
Please shelter me
When I'm sitting down, and losing ground
Shelter me
Won't you shelter me
When I lose control
Am I alone
Shelter me
Won't you shelter me
Oh, shelter me
Baby please
Oh, shelter me
Stay back and shelter me
Come on and shelter me
When I lose control
Am I alone
Shelter me
10. Feels Like Forever
I saw you
That was all I had to see
Wanted you
Had to have you next to me
>From that moment
I knew that you'd be all I'd ever need
And there's a place inside my heart
Nobody's touched before
And when I found you
I found all that I'd been searching for
You turned my world around
All I know
Is that it feels like forever
All I know
Yes I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never wanna see it slip away
I'll never let you go
Is all I know
Hold me
Love is here for us to make
Stay with me
Let's put our hearts in the hands of fate
Time will tell us
If what we've got was worth the wait
And there's a fire that's been burning deep inside of me
And I don't need nobody else
'Cause now you're here with me
You've turned my world around
All I know
That it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go
Is all I know
I might have never met you
At another time or place
Never I never could forget you
I could never walk away
That's all I know
'Cause there's a place inside my heart
Nobody's touched before
And when I found you
I found all that I'd been searching for
You've turned my world around
All I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go
All I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
And I never want to see it slip away
I'll never let you go
It's all I know
Is it feels like forever
All I know
Is I love the way it feels
All I see
Is how good we are together
11. Night Calls
The night gang started working
With a mile of southern road
As I watched
I got to thinking
You ain't never coming home
I looked out of nowhere
There was nobody at all
To get me help
To get through to you
I'm here making night calls
Night calls
Making night calls
Night calls
Making night calls
I gave
I tried too hard to reach you
But you must be moving fast
All my hopes about the future
Will just live on
Into the past
You know that it ain't easy
And the twilight starts to fade
Shouldn't you
The chill of the morning
Thinking of the plans we made
12. Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
I can't find the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal
13. Now That You're Gone
Are you still that little girl
Who used to talk to me
Just look how far we've come in this world
Where did you think we'd be
You think the world wakes up in the morning
You left it all behind
You hear the music
You lost the tune
All melodies are hard to find
Why did you go away
Leave me alone
There's nothing left to say
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
In the eyes of the woman I see
You are just a child
Not the one who's walking the streets
Not the one who's running wild
Say your life hasn't changed that much
You don't want to know
All the love we shared in this world
Not so long ago
Why did you go away
Leave me alone
There's nothing left to say
Now that you're gone
Why did you go away
Leaving me alone
There's nothing left to say
Oh now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
14. Civilized Man
You made me need you
Need you so bad
Would you believe
And never so mad, oh yeah
Double cross me once, and never cross me again
Now you're running 'round looking for some sympathy
Well you know as well as I that we're history
You're lucky, I'm a civlized man
You're lucky, I'm a civilized man
Oh yeah, a civilized man
A poison arrow, right from the start
Right down to zero, you went for my heart
Oh yeah
You've been hoo doo, voodoo
Start the fire again
Now you ask me to forget all you've brought me to
When you know as well as I you've got it coming to you
You're lucky, I'm a civlized man
You're lucky, I'm a civilized man
Oh yeah, a civilized man
You've been hoo doo, voodoo
Start the fire again
Now you're running 'round looking for some sympathy
Well you know as well as I that we're history
You're lucky, I'm a civlized man
You're lucky, I'm a civilized man
Oh you're so lucky baby
For I'm a civilized boy
Oh yeah
That's what I am, oh
15.When A Woman Cries
When a woman cries
When a woman cries
She can wash your world away
When stars fill her eyes
When stars fill her eyes
You'll never know just what to say
Don't say a word
Don't say anything
She don't need your truth or lies
Just hold her close and love her
When the woman cries
When a woman cries
When a woman cries
There is no sadder song
So you apologize
You apologize
Even if you don't know that you've done wrong
But if you really want to make her happy
To stop her sobbing and her sound
Just hold her close and love
When the woman cries
Just don't waste your time thinking
Of the right thing to say
Just put your arms around her
Till the clouds are all away
When a woman cries
When a woman cries
She can tear your world apart
When stars fill her eyes
When stars fill her eyes
It can break a poor man's soul
And if you find that you are crying too
Don't let it come as no surprise
Just hold her close and love her
When your woman cries
When the woman cries
When the woman cries
She can tear your world apart
When stars fill her eyes
When stars fill her eyes
It can break a poor man's heart
When that woman
When that woman cries
That girl can wash your world away
16. With A Little Help From My Friends
What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me ?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone ?)
How do I feel by the end of the day,
(Are you sad because you're on your own ?)
No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.
Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine,
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
with a little help from my friends.
