MAYBE I WILL, I WILL SET UP A NEW PLAN
TO FIND MY WAY IN THIS LIFE'S QUICKSAND
GOTTA MAKE A CHANGE, I GOTTA TAKE A STAND
AND LEAVE BEHIND THIS OLD, WORN-OUT BRAND
I WILL START A-NEW
DO WHAT I GOTTA DO
GET A ROOM WITH A VIEW
I WILL START ANEW
MAYBE I WILL, I WILL MAKE UP A NEW PLAN
YEAH SOMETHING BOLD, YEAH SOMETHING GRAND
AND LEAVE BEHIND MY DOUBTS AND MY FEAR
AND LET MY SWEETEST DREAMS BECOME CLEAR
I WILL START A-NEW…
TOO LONG I HAD TO DO WITHOUT
TOO LONG I'VE BEEN DOWN AND OUT
NO LONGER ANY DOUBT
BUT THIS TIME I WILL MAKE IT OUT
SOLO
I WILL START A-NEW…
MAYBE I WILL SET UP A NEW PLAN
TO MAKE SURE I BECOME A BETTER MAN
I WILL START A-NEW
DO WHAT I GOTTA DO
GET A ROOM WITH A VIEW
I WILL START ANEW

I NEVER KNEW THAT I COULD FEEL THIS WAY
I NEVER KNEW THAT I’LL GET BLOWN AWAY
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I’LL BE TALKING TO YOU
I KNOW YOU NEVER THOUGHT OF ME THIS WAY
I KNOW YOU NEVER THROW YOU LOVE MY WAY
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD FEEL IT TOO
SO PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME DON’T LEAVE ME
STAY A LITTLE LONGER
PLEASE BELIEVE ME BELIEVE ME
TOGETHER WE’LL BE STRONGER
CAN THIS BE THE ONE, THE ONE, THE ONE
CAN THIS BE THE ONE, THE ONE, THE ONE
YOU SAY YOU ALWAYS HID YOUR LOVE AWAY
YOU SAY LOVE ALWAYS HOLDING YOU AT BAY
YOU NEVER THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD FEEL IT TOO
I ALWAYS KNEW THAT THERE WILL COME A DAY
I ALWAYS KNEW THAT LOVE WILL COME MY WAY
BUT I NEVER THOUGHT THAT NOTHING LESS WILL DO
SO PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME DON’T LEAVE ME…
CAN THIS BE THE ONE, THE ONE, THE ONE…
YOU’RE LIKE A TOKEN THAT KEEPS GETTING BROKEN
AND I’M THE ONE WHO’S ALWAYS BEEN THERE
SOLO
SO PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME DON’T LEAVE ME…
CAN THIS BE THE ONE, THE ONE, THE ONE…
CAN THIS BE THE ONE, THE ONE, THE ONE…

AS THE PULSE IS FADING AND PASSION SLEEPLESS LIES
WHEN YOU’RE DONE WITH EMOSSIONS YOU WILL SEE IT CLEARLY NOW
LUST AND EXPECTATIONS NEVER SEEM TO MEET AT THE
SAME TIME (TIME), YOU KEEP TRYING THOU
SAME TIME (TIME), ‘CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW
YOU STAND IN THE CORNER UNDER FLASHING COLORED LIGHTS
DRINK ANOTHER DRINK HOPING THAT WILL BREAK THE ICE
FINALLY YOU ASK HER AND TAKE A LEAP INTO THE
UNKNOWN (KNOWN), DOES SHE HAVE THE MARK
UNKNOWN (KNOWN), A LIGHT IN THE DARK
UNKNOWN (KNOWN), WILL SHE MAKE YOU SPARK
OO OO OO
SHE’S GONNA DO YOU IN
SHE’S AIMING AT YOU
SHE’S GONNA DO YOU IN
NOTHING YOU CAN DO
‘CAUSE YOU NEVER BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS
SHE’S GONNA DO YOU IN
AND SHE WON’T KNOW
SHE’S GONNA DO YOU IN
IT’S LIKE A SUICIDE SHOW
‘CAUSE YOU NEVER BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS

Teenage itch
01:53
|
|||
|
I can't seem to get you out of my head
I'm constantly thinking about the things we said
I know I shouldn't feel this way
But I can't let love slip away
I can't shake this feeling, and make it go away
I've got this teenage itch, and it won't let go
It is a mean old witch, that I don't want to know
Oooooo - Teenage itch
I try to focus on my friends
But you just keep popping up in my head
I know I should let you go
But something won't let me do so
I can’t escape, it’s driving me insane
Oooooo - Teenage itch

I ran into the night
You went out of sight
I don’t know after all
The world is big, I’m small
‘Cause ever since I met you
I can’t understand the rules
So I say
Girl, you’re so out of this world
And you make me feel like I’m caught up in a whirl
Yeah Girl, we’re from different worlds
You’re from Venus and I’m down here on this earth
You need to decide
If you to stay by my side
You keep me hanging on
How do you know our love is wrong?
So I say Girl…
‘Cause ever since I met you
So I say Girl…

SHE LIVES IN MY HOUSE, BUT SHE’S NEVER HOME
SHE SLEEPS IN MY BED SOMETIMES, BUT I SLEEP ALONE
I CAN’T TALK TO THAT GIRL NO MORE…
THE LOOK ON HER FACE, THE LOOK IN HER EYES
I CAN’T SEE DISGRACE, I CAN’T SEE THE LIES, AND I…
I CAN’T TALK TO THAT GIRL NO MORE…
AND SHE’S LIKE A PIECE OF WOOD
AAA LET’S GET IT UNDERSTOOD
SHE AIN’T DO ME NO GOOD
SHE’S NO GOOD
I CAN’T TALK TO THAT GIRL NO MORE…
AND SHE’S LIKE A PIECE OF WOOD…
SHE LIVES IN MY HOUSE, BUT SHE’S NEVER HOME
SHE SLEEPS IN MY BED SOMETIMES, BUT I SLEEP ALONE
I CAN’T TALK TO THAT GIRL NO MORE… ONE MORE TIME
I CAN’T TALK TO THAT GIRL NO MORE… NO NO NO, NO MORE

I TOOK A BOW, NO USE TO STAY
BOTH ME AND YOU KNOW
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO SAY
I LEFT, WITH NO GOODBYE
I WONDER WHERE OUR LIFE
DECIDED TO PASS US BY
WE USED TO LAUGH, WE USED TO GLOW
BUT SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE
WE STOPPED TO LET IT SHOW
WE WENT FOR DAYS, WITHOUT A WORD
DIGGING BITTER TRENCHES
FIGHTING TO BE HEARD
BUT THERE WERE NIGHTS, OH THOSE NIGHTS
THEY WERE INTENSE LIKE IT WAS
THE LAST DAYS ON EARTH
WE USED TO LAUGH…
NOW EVERYDAY I FAKE A SMILE
EVEN IF IT’S NOT REAL
ITS THERE FOR A WHILE
SO I TOOK A BOW, NO USE TO STAY
I TAKE MY VINYL RECORDS
AND I’LL BE ON MY WAY
WE USED TO LAUGH…

TIMES UP IT’S ALMOST THREE
I SEE A GIRL LOOKING AT ME
I MAKE THE MOVE WALKING BY
OH THAT GIRL SHE GIVE ME THE EYE
I SAY HEY DO YOU WANNA DANCE
SHE SAYS I GIVE IT CHANCE
THEN THE GUY BEHIND THE BAR
SHUT THE LIGHT AND PULL THE BARS, BUT
I DON’T WANNA GO…
I DIDN’T WANT TO SAY GOODBYE
OH NO LET A GOOD THING DIE
WE TOOK A CAB BACK TO YOUR PLACE
AND THEN CUT TO THE CHASE
AS THE HEAT WAS RISING HIGH
YOU SAY YOUR BOYFRIEND’S FBI
NEXT I KNEW HE WAS STANDING THERE
I GOTTA GET OUTA HERE, BUT
I DON’T WANNA GO…

Save another girl
03:03
|
|||
|
I'm a man in love with love and can’t just let it be
I'm a man who is blind and I can’t seem to break free
I'm a man who's searching for something I can't see
I’m a man so bad things will lead you to me
Save another girl, someone save another girl from me
You are a girl chasing love like it all was ment to be
You are a girl hoping to find a lifetime guarantee
You are a girl blue eyed and full of fantasy
You are a girl and bad things will lead you to me
Save another girl, someone save another girl from me
And I know that you’re tired
Tired of being alone
The way you get me all-fired
The Devil looks after his own
Save another girl, someone save another girl from me
Save another girl, someone save another girl from me

Summer days

Gonna hit the beach, gonna have some fun
Gonna turn my sad frown upside down
Gonna find a love that's sweet and true
Someone to spend my nights with (too)
And maybe it's you
Gonna take a chance, gonna take my time
Gonna find a love that's gonna be, be all mine
Gonna hold on tight, gonna make it last
Gonna find a love that's gonna be
Better than past
My heart is ready for more,
Ready for your sweet love to show
Walking the beach looking for you
Looking for something precious too
Gonna hit the beach, gonna have some fun
Gonna turn my sad frown upside down
Gonna find a love that's sweet and true
Someone to spend my nights with (too)
And maybe it's you
I’m watching girls go by
Life’s short and then you die
The sun is setting, the sky’s ablaze
Oooo I love in these summer days
Summer days are long, and nights are warm
We dance under the stars till the break of dawn
Our hearts will beat to the smashing waves
As we create a love that truly saves
Gonna hit the beach, gonna have some fun
Gonna turn my sad frown upside down
Gonna find a love that's sweet and true
Someone to spend my nights with (too)
And maybe it's you
Oooooo

DON’T LOOK BACK, NO REGRETS
LEAVE THE PAST, TAKE THE STEP
BE THE BEST, YOU CAN BE
ONLY LOVE CAN SET YOU FREE
PLEASE DON’T THROW YOUR HEART AWAY
I’LL BE WAITING HERE
OPEN THE DOOR, TO THE UNKNOWN
PACK YOUR BAGS, BE YOUR OWN
GO, IF YOU WANT TO YOUR NEW ADVENTURE WILL START
GO, IF YOU NEED TO EVEN THOUGH IT BREAKS MY HEART
(IF YOU STAND UP)
TELL ME WHAT TO SAY TO YOU
TELL ME ‘CAUSE I DON’T HAVE A CLUE
DREAMS AND GOALS, FULL OF HOLES
NEED TO SHINE, WINE AND DINE
I’LL BE HERE, IN LOW GEAR
WHISPERING IN YOUR EAR
PLEASE DON’T THROW YOUT HEART AWAY
I’LL BE WAITING HERE
OPEN THE DOOR, TO THE UNKNOWN
PACK YOUR BAGS, BE YOUR OWN
GO, IF YOU WANT TO YOUR NEW ADVENTURE WILL START
GO, IF YOU NEED TO EVEN THOUGH IT BREAKS MY HEART

I'M FROM THE WRONG SIDE, WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS
I'VE SPENT A LIFETIME NEVER TO LOOK BACK
I'M ON THE OUTSIDE, THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
I'M A DROP IN THE BUCKET
JUST A PEBBLE ON THE BEACH
JUST A-NOTHER WAVE IN THE OCEAN
I KNOW YOU’D NEVER LOVE SOMEONE LIKE ME
IT'S JUST TOO SIMPLE WANTING TO BE ME
I WISH I’D MET YOU A LONG LONG TIME AGO
I'M A DROP IN THE BUCKET
JUST A PEBBLE ON THE BEACH
JUST A-NOTHER WAVE IN THE OCEAN
I'M FROM THE WRONG SIDE, WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS
I'VE SPENT A LIFETIME NEVER TO LOOK BACK
I'M ON THE OUTSIDE, THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
I'M A DROP IN THE BUCKET
JUST A PEBBLE ON THE BEACH
JUST A-NOTHER WAVE IN THE OCEAN

AND YOU KNOW THERE WILL BE SOMEONE
SOMEONE WHO LOVES SHARE THE TEST OF TIME

YOU ARE MY EVER LASTING SHINING LIGHT
YOU ARE COMPLETE...
YOU ARE PERFECT TO ME
YOU ARE PERFECT AND I HOPE THAT ONE DAY
