1. IT'S ALRIGHT

I want you in my arms tonight
You know you whet my appetite
It might be wrong for us to care
And maybe something's in the air
But if the world is unaware

(Chorus)
It's alright, please say it's alright
You'll be mine tonight, it's going to be alright

I won't care if we fall in love
I'll be happy with the memory of
The thought of just one night of bliss
We can't give up a chance like this
So just go on and whisper it's

(Chorus)

I want you in my arms tonight
You know you set my heart alight
It can't be like this everyday
And soon you'll be so far away
So now I want to hear you say

(Chorus)

Don't want to make a main feature with you
Ah but you know there's a time and a place
You can't resist it when you're feeling it too
I can tell by the smile on your face
We both know that it will be OK
So don't you let this moment slip away
Don't have a problem when it's all in the mind
Yes but we can make it very very real this time


2. NOT THE MOMENT

I can't believe what you're saying about me
I can't believe it's true
You know you never should doubt me
And take this attitude

You say there's something between us
Something just ain't right
But every time I ask you to tell me why
You say it's not the moment
You say it's not the moment

You say you're tired of walking on eggshells
And falling in between
That I'm two-timing you but you know quite well
That's just not my scene

And now my friends are starting to call me
They say there's something wrong
Ah, but you just continue to stall me
You say it's not the moment
You say...

Yes we need to talk this through
'Cause I do depend on you
So let it out and try to clear the air

I've got nothing I should hide
I'm burning up inside
But you just act like you don't even care

Oh well I know sometimes it ain't easy
I know you're feeling bad
But you know it's the wrong time to tease me
It just gets me mad

I'm going to find out sooner or later
Just what you're trying to say
So when I ask you now for just one more time
Don't say it's not the moment
Don't say...

Yes we need to talk this through
'Cause I do depend on you
So let it out and try to clear the air

Told you I would be your friend
Be there to the very end
But you had to let me down
And go spreading dirty words around


3. IT DOESN'T MATTER

Hey, how's your conscience lately
You tried so hard to please me
And now you seem so uneasy
You say that you've enough and you're out of love

It hit me like a hurricane
It hit me like a speeding train
I try to climb a mountain range
And fall down on the ground again
I thought that it would be OK
But you had other cards to play
Just like a shot from a gun
I got hurt, I got stunned
That's how it hit me

I just want to know why
Do you do this to me?
And where, is your sense of reason?
So how, could you fool me so long?
And now, watch my tenderness turn to emptiness

It hit me like a hurricane...

It doesn't matter what I do
It doesn't matter much to you
It doesn't matter what I do
It's over now, we're through
You got me feeling excited
You gad me set and ignited
But now I'm feeling so down low
Like some down-trodden hobo

It doesn't matter...

You gad me chasing illusions
You got me lost in confusion
And I'm so tired of losin'
I've got to stop, now, and not get involved with you
again

It doesn't matter...


4. WHERE I STAND

Well I'm a wreck and I'm a tangle
And tho I try to find an angle
Can't find my way around you
No matter what I do

And nothing's right since you left me
My life was full but now it's empty
Can't find my way around you

You say, that you can't see a way
That I can be a part of you
It doesn't matter what I do

Tried every trick that I could think of
But you don't seem to think it's true love
You take no notice of me

Oh my, chance has passed me by
See a way to change your mind
Just let me know and I'll keep trying

All my confidence is gone
I was pretty sure that you would come along
Thought that I would be your man
But now I never know just where I stand
With you

I used to be the kind of guy
Who could be in your arms before you'd realize
Now the tables have been turned
If you play with fire you know you sure get burned

All my confidence...

Just where I stand, where I stand
where I stand with you
I never know, you had to go
where I stand with you
You broke my heart
It came apart
Where do I stand with you?


5. FREE AS A BIRD

When a spirit is broken
Why go on
When there's nothing to say
And a love just a token
It was strong
Now it's fading away

Ah but I'm free as a bird
As I walk right out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm doing alright
As I face the lonely night

And our love it was over
Long ago
But we just didn't say
And the years they have fallen
One by one
How they drifted away

But now I'm free as a bird
As I walk out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm feeling OK
As I face the brand new day
As I face the brand new day

You know I'm free as a bird
As I walk right out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm doing alright
As I face the lonely night
As I face the lonely night

No more sorrows will I find
I've got tomorrow on my side
No more teardrops will I cry
Left my teardrops way behind
No more sorrows will I find
I've got tomorrow on my side
No more teardrops will I cry
Left my teardrops way behind
No more heartaches bother me
Don't wear my heartaches on my sleeve

It's gonna be a brand new story
What's the use of former glory
It's better not to do if you can't do right
It's time to get to celebrating
After all the years of waiting
I'm gonna have a ball if it takes all night


6. I'M BEGGIN' YOU

I'm beggin' you, let's start anew
All my fears were wrong
I was too headstrong
Now I'm missing you

It's been too long, and still you're gone
If you ever cared
About the life we shared
Please let me know

I think about you lately
More than you will ever know
And if you could just forgive me
You know I'd love you so

We had a love, to be proud of
What was once a thrill
Then became a chill
And so very cold

So I'm beggin you, let's start anew
Give it one more chance
It's the final dance
Before you go away
I've got something more to say

I think about you lately
More than you will ever know
And if you could just forgive me
You know I'd love you so

You know I never meant no harm
can't you see it's just a false alarm
How can I make you change your mind
'Cause I wanna make it right this time
You know I'll love you all the way
That's why I'm beggin' you to stay
You've got to listen to my plea
I'm down here on my bended knees
baby won't you please come home
Can't stand to be so all alone


7. YOU NEVER CAN TELL WITH FRIENDS

Yes I've been waiting, but you just don't come around
You've been dropping in on, everyone all over town
Say what you like, but you just don't know your place
And everywhere we go, people seem to know your face

You've been checkin' out the scene, every single night
Never knowing where you've been, you say it's alright
I placed all my faith in you, and you let me down
Everything I say is true, but you don't hear a sound
Yeh you ought to be ashamed, but you don't accept the blame

They said it was too late, for your love
They said it was too late, you're gonna go
They said I was too late, for your love
They said I was too late, you're gonna go

You never can tell with friends
You never can tell with
You never can tell with
You never can tell with friends
You never can tell with
You never can tell with

Yes every now and then, my mind turns things around
And I believe it's true, that our love can still be found
Just one thing I care about, from sea to shinging sea
And you know that's the love you give, the love you give to me

You've been checkin' out the scene, every single night
Never knowing where you've been, you say it's alright
I placed all my faith in you, then you let me down
Everything I say is true, but you don't hear a sound
Yeh you ought to be ashamed, but you don't accept the blame

They said it was too late, for your love
They said it was too late, you're gonna go
They said I was too late, for your love
They said It was too late, you're gonna go

You never can tell with friends
You never can tell with
You never can tell with...


8. THING FOR YOU

Oh Lordy I got to feelin' so cold
You know the mornin' it ain't too good for my soul
I've been workin' in some faraway place
I got to thinkin'about your sweet smilin' face

I got a thing for you I'm gonna change all my ways
I'm gonna get off the road
I'm gonna lighten my load I got a thing for you
Can you feel it too Think I better slow down
All my wandering's done I found my place in the sun

Ah woman, why d'you treat me this way
You don't believe a single word that I say
But it's the truth now, you know I'll be home for good
So what's with you now, I thought that you understood

I got a thing for you...

There ain't a woman alive could ever come close to you
I won't know how to survive, so don't you fade from my
View You say I'm putting you on and soon
I'll be on my way Well woman you're wrong and that is all
I can say
All I can say

I got a thing for you...


9. AN AWFUL THING TO WASTE

So maybe you could do with a break
You've had about all you can take
You need to find somewhere you can run to

Somewhere a long way from here
Somewhere where the skies are all clear
Somewhere you can think all your thoughts through

It took a long time to make me understand
You gotta meet life and shake it by the hand
You gotta use your emotion

You talk a nice line to put your mind at ease
You want to sit back and count your memories
But that's no solution

I don't want to harp about it
But what you gonna do about it?

Look at how you're set in your ways
You used to be so willing to face
Any find of problem before you

Life is not as long as you think
Open up your mind and you'll see
Don't destroy yourself I implore you

You've got a fine wife, a perfect family
You had it all planned to live so carefully
But where does it get you

They say the mind is an awful thing to waste
And that's a fact that you must come to face
What more can I tell you?
