Only Heaven Knows
My intentions are good, my hearts in the right place now
You see I wanna be good to you baby
But sometimes I just don't know how
And the hand of fate, reaches out once more
And pulls me though that gate
Like one hundred times before
Ooh, there are the nights, when things just work out right
No one could be as close as you and me
Then it all breaks down, and we can't find that common ground
That's not the way, the way it oughta be baby
Why do we laugh, why do we cry
Why do we feel this pain inside
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
In this game of hit and miss
How long can we go on like this
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
But if we threw it all away
It's something we'd regret someday
Heaven knows
Why do we do these foolish things
Only heaven knows
My intentions are good, my actions are hard to explain
I get misunderstood sometimes
There's nobody but me to blame
I've gotta speak my mind, and deal with the situation
Open the lines
The lines of communication
Ooh there are the nights, we really get it right
Makin' love, endlessly
And then there are the days, we go our separate ways
As though there's nothin left of you and me
Why do we laugh, why do we cry
Why do we feel this pain inside
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
In this game of hit and miss
How long can we go on like this
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
But if we threw it all away
It's something we'd regret someday
Heaven knows
Why do we laugh, why do we cry
Why do we feel this pain inside
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
In this game of hit and miss
How long can we go on like this
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
But if we threw it all away
It's something we'd regret someday
Why do we do these foolish things
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
I wanna be good to you baby
Heaven knows, etc...
Lowdown And Dirty
This is the thirteenth day of waiting, the second long weekend
These liberties you've taken, have got to end
This distance you've been keeping, grows wider everyday
Time is running out, there's nothing left to say
Innocent child, that's what I once believed
But now I know better, and I ain't gonna let you play that game with me
I'm telling you mama
I'm gonna get lowdown and dirty, run wild in the night
Lowdown and dirty, this time I'll do it right
Loving every minute, making up for lost time
I'll get lowdown, lowdown and dirty
A little time to do something, some searching of the soul
I never knew your heart could be so cold
You're driven by ambition and you want the best that you can get
Ambition leads you blindly if you let it
And I guess you let it
That innocent smile, it fooled me all the way
It drew me in, but now there's gonna be some hell to pay
Gonna be hell to pay
I'm gonna get lowdown and dirty, and break every rule
Lowdown and dirty, nobody gonna treat me like a fool
Running free and easy, now I'm out on the loose
I'll get lowdown and dirty, lowdown and dirty tonight
Such an innocent child, you fooled me all the way
You drew me in, but now there is going to be some hell to pay
I'm gonna get lowdown and dirty, run wild in the night
Lowdown and dirty, do it good, do it right
You see I've reaching for something that's been
Missing in my life
I've got to get lowdown and dirty, lowdown and dirty tonight
Got to get, got to get, got to get lowdown and dirty
If you could see me right now darlin' you'd see me flyin' high,
goin' crazy
I'll Fight For You
I'm turning to you, when love is on my mind
You're all I want, woman, and love's so hard to find
I know that I hurt you, and I know that I was wrong
But I want you back, back where you belong
And I won't give you up, no I won't walk away
I hope and I pray, I hope and I pray
You'll forgive me someday
I'll fight for you, I'll give you all I got to give
I'll fight for you, as long as we both should live
I'll search for heaven each day
And together, we'll find a way
And I'll fight for you darlin'
I'll fight for you baby, cause I've waited too long for love
You're all of my life, and every time I look at you
I keep tellin' myself, you're the one thing I just can't lose
Our love runs so deeply, can't you feel it in your heart
'Cause girl we've got something, that no one can tear apart
I'm tellin' you now, this love, it just can't be wrong
Oh, it can't be wrong
And I won't give you up 'cause I've waited too long
Oh, I've waited too long for love
I'll fight for you, I'll give you all I got to give
I'll fight for you, as long as we should live
I'll search for heaven each day
And together, we'll find a way
And I'll fight for you darlin'
I'll fight for you...
Moment Of Truth
Don't expect me to treat you like a lady
I may not always show respect
It's too soon yet, I hardly even know you
That's just my way, don't get upset
You see, up 'till now I've been living like a loner
Gettin' by, just gettin' by
And this heart of mine has only had one owner
But you could change that if you tried
Now I don't want a love forever
And I don't need a master plan
I just want to come together
And I want you to understand
It's the moment of truth, and it's finally come this time
Now we must draw the line
The moment of truth, this time it's everything
Open up, let me in, let me right into your heart
I intend to treat you like a woman
'Cause I can see you're not a child
You've got that look, that certain way of knowin'
It's got my senses runnin' wild
Now I don't want a love forever
And I don't need a master plan
I just want to come together
And I want you to understand
It's the moment of truth, and it's finally come this time
Now we must draw the line
The moment of truth, this time it's everything, open up
let me in
The moment of truth, and it's finally come this time
Now we must draw the line, the moment of truth this time
[repeat bridge and chorus....]
Mountain Of Love
Open up your window
Open up your door
I need a taste of your sweet, sweet love
That's all I'm livin' for
I've been down on my luck
Down on my knees
Just waitin' for a chance to show you baby
I only aim to please
Hey-hey-honey
I'm out on the edge I'm on the borderline
Hey little honey
You won't believe what's goin' through my mind
I'll build a mountain of love
Everytime I think of you
A mountain of love
See it risin' up, and all you've gotta do
Is get high on my mountain of love
There ain't no use in pretendin'
"Cause I've got my eyes on you
The first time that I saw you girl, I knew
Nobody else would do
Hey-hey-honey
Take a little trip, take a ride with me
Hey little honey
'Cause I've got something you've just gotta see
It's a mountain of love
High enough to touch the sky
A mountain of love
Can't you feel it burnin' up inside
I'm gonna build a big mountain of love
Everytime I think of you
You'll feel a mountain of love
See it risin' up, and all you've gotta do
Is get high on my mountain of love
Hey-hey-honey
I'm out on the edge, I'm on the borderline
Say little honey
Come with me and we'll climb, climb, climb.....
Ready For The Rain
Early in the morning, before the daylight
I hear the sound of thunder, comin' through in the night
I lie awake and I wonder , where my life is goin'
Am I on a road leadin' nowhere, there's no way of knowin'
'Cause I've seen the lightning
And I'm ready for the rain to fall
Now I'm standin' on a mountain, lookin' into the sky
I see the clouds come rollin' in, water fills my eyes
I don't know what's in the future, no one can say
Don't wanna think about the past, I've gotta live for today
'Cause I've seen the lightnin' now
I need to find my own way, while I've still got time
And I'm ready for the rain to fall
'Cause I've heard the thunder
And I'm ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, ready for the rain
I've got to rise above it all
And get ready for the rain to fall
Did you ever know someone, who had lost their way
Built their own little kingdom, and just blew it all away
I'm not ashamed to admit it, that someone was me
I'm gonna look to the future now, 'cause I've set myself free
And I've seen the lightnin'
I'm gonna set myself free, while I've still got time
Get ready for the rain to fall
'Cause I've heard the thunder
And I'm ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, ready for the rain
I've got to rise above it all
And get ready for the rain to fall, while I've still got time....
[Repeat chorus]
When The Night Comes Down
Jimmy got lost, in a schoolboy phase
You see the lines got crossed, at a young and tender age
He dropped out of school, and the new crowd he'd meet
He left his broken home, for a new life, out on the street
See the young boys laugh, gettin' high on a midnight run
They've got it all figure out, they don't need no help
from anyone
Jimmy never knew real love in his heart
No feelings remain
Somehow he knew he'd never be a part
So alone with his pain
When the night comes down
Out there on the streets, so many sad, sad stories
When the night comes down
They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory
They're runnin' in the night
See the young boy cry, he's cryin' out, all alone
And the hurt inside, he's gotta face it all on his own
And the church bells ring, and the lord is praised
But they ain't got time for Jimmy, on their holy, holy days
Jimmy never felt real love in his heart
No feelings remain
Somehow he knew he'd never be a part
So alone with his pain
When the night comes down
Out there on the streets, so many sad, sad stories
When the night comes down
They're runnin' out of hope, in this land of glory
When the night comes down
Its a cold hearted town, nothin' but a battleground
And they're runnin' out of hope, ooh, when the night
comes down
On this battleground
So many, so many sad, sad stories
You can see it every night
When the night comes down
See the young boy cry
Safe In My Heart
In this world, life can be hard on a sensitive girl
Who do you turn to, when you really need someone
Don't give in, hold on, and in time
The day will come, and you will know
That your life has only just begun
And you will feel love, you'll feel the earth meet the heavens above
Leave the past behind, now is the time
Put your trust in me, and believe, when I tell you
I want you, close to me
And from now until the end of time
You'll be safe, safe in my heart, so safe, you know you are
In this space, in this heart
There will always be a place for you
Safe in my heart
From now on, girl I'll be there, I'll be strong for you
When you need me, I'll be right here by your side
Put your trust in me and believe when I tell you
I need you, close to me
From now, 'till the end of time, I want you to know
You are safe, in my heart, so safe, you know you are
In this space, in this heart
There's no room, for anyone but you
I would cry for you, even die for you
So just listen and remember, there will always be a place
for you
Safe in my heart
No Hiding Place
Every time I've run away from you
You searched me out and found me
I build a wall, surround myself
You've found a way around it
Everywhere I go into this big old world
You're just one step behind me
I turn around and there you are, ready to remind me
Woah, baby, let me, let me go
Honey don't you know
There is no hiding place, nowhere to go, nowhere safe
There is no hiding place
There is no where sale, to disappear without a trace
There is no hiding place
I walked the streets, I drank in bars
Tryin' to forget you
I rode the subway end to end
I wish I'd never met you
It's in your smile, the way you dress
A little on the wild side
I can't get away from you babe, no matter how I try
Woah, baby, let me, let me go
Honey don't you know
There is no hiding place, nowhere to go, nowhere safe
There is no hiding place
There is no where sale, to disappear without a trace
There is no hiding place
Woah never let me, let me go
Honey, don't you know
Flesh Wound
It's four o' clock in the mornin' and the daylight's creepin' in
I'm lyin' awake in bed
Outside my window the rain's just pourin' down
And there's a pain inside my head
I looked hard into the mirror, took some water in my hands
And threw it on my face
But your memory won't fade away, I can see you everywhere
Around this empty space
This night's too long, I'm fadin' fast
I tell myself, this pain won't last
It's just a flesh wound
Missin' my heart but it still cuts deep
Nothin' but a flesh wound
It tore me apart and I still can't sleep
You know you really did it well
Now I'm lyin' on a bed of nails
But it's nothin' but a flesh wound
Better pull myself together, gotta hold my head up high
that's what I;ve got to do
No damage done, but deep inside my heart
Who am I tryin' to fool
It's over now, all in the past
I tell myself, this pain won't last
It's just a flesh wound
Missin, my heart, but it still cuts deep
Nothin' but a flesh wound
It tore me apart and I still can't sleep
I've got no choice, I must be strong
Can't lie here thinkin' about it all night long
It's nothin' but a flesh wound
[repeat chorus....]
Unusual Heat
My mind tells me, what will be, shall be
Not a thing I can do about it
'Cause in my heart I can't do without it
It's so cold out here, like minus ten degrees
And I'm trying to get through to you
I've got my heart on ice, and its about to freeze
Only you, can pull me through
'Cause I want some of your UNUSUAL HEAT
I need more and more, UNUSUAL HEAT
My body tells me, hold on, I gotta hold on
But I'm so cold and hungry
All stretched out like a month of Sundays
I've been out of my head, from that very first day
Searching for somebody like you
I've been stumblin' around, every step of the way
And only you can pull me through
'Cause I want some of your UNUSUAL HEAT
And I need more and more, UNUSUAL HEAT
I need it every way, every minute of the day
Baby I'm yours,I'll do anything you say
If you just give me some of your warm UNUSUAL HEAT
It's so cold out here, I'm about to freeze
And I'm still trying to get through to you
I've got my heart on ice, oh baby please, please, please
Only you, can pull me through
Cause I want some of your UNUSUAL HEAT
And I need more and more, UNUSUAL HEAT
I need it every way, every minute of the day
Baby I'm yours,I'll do anything you say
If you just give me some of your warm
Baby won't you keep me warm, with your UNUSUAL HEAT...
