TOUCH ONE HEART

 

Tonight, tonight

When you’re lying in bed

Holding your baby tight tonight

Does it feel right?
Does it feel right?

 

When you open your eyes

Tell me what do you see

Ask yourself

Are you giving something, really?

Before I’m through

All I wanna do

 

I wanna touch one heart

I wanna touch one heart

I wanna touch one heart

I wanna touch one heart

Before I’m through, all I wanna do

I wanna touch one heart

 

I’ve been so close I can almost touch it

I’ve been so close I can almost taste it

Hey hey

Before I’m through, all I wanna do

 

I wanna touch one heart

I wanna touch one heart

I wanna touch one heart

I wanna touch one heart

Before I’m through, all I wanna do

I wanna touch one heart

 

When you touch me it better mean something

It better mean something like love

Nothing else will do

 

When I touch you, it’s gonna mean something

Nothing less than everything means anything to me

And it shouldn’t to you

 

I wanna touch one heart

I wanna touch one heart

I wanna touch one heart

I wanna touch one heart

Before I’m through, all I wanna do

I wanna touch one heart

I wanna touch one heart

I wanna touch one heart

I wanna touch one heart

I wanna touch one heart

Before I’m through, all I wanna do

I wanna touch one heart

YOU AND I

 

Let’s take a walk down on the beach

Feel the sand beneath our feet

You and i

 

Down to where the tide kisses the shoreline

Just to felt the mighty ocean

You and I

 

You and I

You and I

You and I, baby

You and I

 

I stood tall, baby, on my own

But nowhere ever felt like home

Until you

You and I

 

I used to feel so lost in this great big world

Like nothing was right without “the girl”

And now I got you, babe

 

You and I

You and I

You and I, baby

You and I

 

As the waves come pounding

My heart responds in kind

I’m drowning in your eyes, baby

Come lose yourself in mine

Love comes like the tempest

Upon a raging sea

Now, in the eyes of God, baby

Come walk this world with me

 

Money can’t buy happiness

I wish that weren’t true

Everything’s so damn fleeting

Everything but you

You and I

 

I grew up wishing I could change this world

I try my best every single day, but nothing changes

Nothing really changes

Until you

 

You and I

You and I, baby

You and I

You and I, baby

You and I

I NEED LOVE

 

People notice when we fight like children

Or when we act like we never met

But no one’s fooled and nothing’s hidden

Maybe one day we can just forget

 

Running through the shadows

Secret calls in the night

A half hour rendezvous

But, in my bed tonight

When I turn out the light

I know I’m gonna dream about you

 

I need love

I need love

I need love

I need your love, baby

 

Your number’s in my head

Singing and dancing

The only one that I know by heart

But if I called you now, you’d probably answer

“Sorry, wrong number”, then I’d come apart

 

Cause you’re down with him

Baby, that’s a fact

A fact that ain’t gonna change

But, last night you hated your life

When did my life get so strange

 

I need love

I need love

I need love

I need your love, baby

 

You got me running wild

I’m like a starving child

I walk the murder mile

Night and day for you

I’m your loaded gun

Catching love on the run

If you call, I’ll come

Run, run, running to you

 

I’ll come running, baby

Anytime you want me

 

The Eastern sky is already brightening

Somewhere in Queens, the sky is already shining

The grip of no-sleep madness is tightening

Around me

Tighter

 

I need love

I need love

I need love

I need your love, baby

LOVE ON FIRE

 

Well, I want a lover like a house on fire

80 mph on two flat tires

Out of control

Body and soul

 

I want a lover gonna take me to paradise

Night after night after night after night

After night after night

 

I want a lover that’s so fine

I want a lover that’s all mine

One that stay with me a long while

Walk with me on the last mile

 

I kissed Wendy and I kissed Sue

And, I kissed Mary and Betty Lou

And, they’re all right

Just for one night

 

I’m talkin’ more along the lines of a permanent basis

One whose face is always gonna make me wanna run home

Just so we can be alone

 

I want a lover that’s so fine

I want a lover that’s all mine

One that stay with me a long while

Walk with me on the last mile

 

I’ve wasted all the time I’m gonna waste waiting

The Lord helps those who do their own taking

And, brother that’s me

I’m ready ready ready as I can be

 

I want a lover that’s so fine

I want a lover that’s all mine

One that stay with me a long while

Walk with me on the last mile

I want a lover that’s so fine

I want a lover that’s all mine

One that stay with me a long while

Walk with me on the last mile

 

I want a love on fire

Love on fire

Love on fire

Love on fire

ABOUT YOU

 

There was a song back in 1960-X

What the words were was anybody’s guess

But what the song meant

Everybody knew

 

And, baby, that’s the way I feel about you

About you

That’s how I feel about you

 

The midnight hour has come and gone

I’m singing with the radio

I’m driving home

Sometimes at night, when I’m alone in my car

That song comes on, I turn it up loud

I mash on the gas real hard

 

Real hard, that’s how I feel about you

Whatever that song said really hit on the head

How I feel about you

Hey hey hey hey

 

I put that scratchy old record on late last night

It got a little crazy, had to turn out the light

I don’t know how it do to me, baby, what it do to me

It always sounds so new to me

 

I don’t care how long you live

Or how far you travel

There are some mysteries

That cannot be unraveled

You take that song from back in 60-X

It is what it is, oh baby, yes yes yes yes

 

Yes, that’s how I feel about you

Whatever that song said really hit it on the head

How I feel about you

 

Hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey

STAND IN YOUR LIGHT

 

I dig it, baby, when you talk this way

I fall more in love with every brilliant thing you say

You see things like no one else

You see me the way I wish I saw myself

There are things you and I need to share

I’m asking for trouble but I don’t care

 

Shine on, shine on brightly

Baby, just let me stand in your light

Shine on, shine on brightly

Baby, I just wanna stand in your light

 

Night time speaks to my secret heart

It’s your name I call out In the dark

I’ve worn the past like a ball and chain

It’s time to let it go, it’s time to start again

 

I am drowning, lost at sea

Come on, baby, and rescue me

 

Shine on, shine on brightly

Baby, just let me stand in your light

Shine on, shine on brightly

Baby, I just wanna stand in your light

 

Another time, another place

I might never have seen your face

I’m not one to believe in such things

But maybe baby, this is just meant to be

 

Here come the Winter

A helluva storm

But baby baby, I know how I’ll keep warm

I’m gonna give you all I can

Anything you want, baby, anytime, I’m your man

 

Show me, baby

Show me your fire

Turn it up, baby

Higher and higher

 

Shine on, shine on brightly

Baby, just let me stand in your light

Shine on, shine on brightly

Baby, I just wanna stand in your light

Shine on

Shine on

Shine on

KISS AWAY

 

Baby, dry you eyes

There’ll be no more waiting

No more walking that thin line

Between love and hating

And all that pain

You’ve been holding inside you

I know it won’t just disappear

But baby, I’m prepared to

 

Kiss away

All your pain

Until you can love me again

I will

 

I’ve gotta live

With a lot of hard choices

At night when I’m alone

Baby, I hear voices

But, there’s no right or wrong

With a love so strong

With a love so real

So obviously real

 

Kiss away

Yesterday

Till the memory all but fades

Kiss away

Those tears of rage

However long it may take

I will

 

Last night I heard you crying

But it was just a dream

I spent the whole night lying awake

Thinking about how it used to be

And how much I miss

Your kiss

Our little home’ our nights alone

 

Kiss away

Those bitter days

Those tears of rage

Kiss away

All that pain

Love’s gonna live here again

Kiss away

Kiss kiss away

I will, I will, I will, I will, I will

Kiss away the tears

From your angel face

I’ll kiss away the years

Our bed is such a lonely place

Kiss away

HELLBENT

 

I dream about you, baby

Ain’t no lie

I dream about you, baby

I said, it ain’t no lie

I think about you, baby

All the time

You’re on my mind, baby

Day and night

And it hurts so bad, I just cry cry cry

The cry of love

Why me, oh Lord?

 

I got some deep dark secrets

In this heart of mine

I’ll tell them all to you

One at a time

Like a little adventure

Just to see what we can find

Love is a pick and a shovel

In a diamond mine

Baby, can’t you hear me, can’t you hear me cry

The cry of love

Why me, oh Lord, oh why why why

 

I’m hellbent hellbent hellbent

Hellbent, baby

I’m hellbent hellbent hellbent

Baby on you

I’m hellbent hellbent hellbent

For your love

I got some wild ideas

And now I’m gonna see them through

 

I love the feeling

Of late afternoon

I can feel that the nighttime is coming soon

Under the cloak of darkness

Under cover of night

I wanna make a little difference

In your life

I wanna help you, little angel

Wanna help you fly

Come fly with me

Just you and me

And this endless night

 

I’m hellbent hellbent hellbent

Hellbent, baby

I’m hellbent hellbent hellbent

Baby on you

I’m hellbent hellbent hellbent

For your love

I got some wild ideas

And now I’m gonna see them through

 

I got some wild ideas

And now I’m gonna see them through

I got some wild ideas

And now I’m gonna see them through

ROCKABYE

 

Deep in the night

Deep in the night I can hear you calling

I open my eyes

But night after night

It’s the same lonely story

You and I are chasing different rainbows

I call you every night until our dreams come true

My love across the miles

Our hearts will be together

Before you close your eyes

I wanna say to you

 

Rockabye, baby

Rockabye, baby

Rockabye, baby

Rockabye, baby

 

I know it’s late

I guess I’m calling to say I miss you

But I just couldn’t wait

To tell you how long I’ve been longing to kiss you

Every lonely night when I am dreaming

You’re the only woman that I’m dreaming of

My love across the miles

Our hearts will be together

Before you close your eyes

I wanna say to you

 

Rockabye, baby

Rockabye, baby

Rockabye, baby

Rockabye, baby

 

So go to sleep, my darling

My love will keep you warm in the night

Close your eyes and we can be together

If we’re lucky we might last forever

 

Rockabye, baby

Rockabye, baby

Rockabye, baby

Rockabye, baby

THE WILD BOYS

 

I think I could have slept the whole day away

But, when the phone rang at noon,

I’d been woken up way too soon

A friend of mine was calling with some bad news

Another person we had known

Had waved his last goodbye and flown

Into the night

 

We are the wild boys

We are the action

Wild games and wild toys

No satisfaction

 

Sometimes I feel like death is closing in

I try to make some sense of it

But the pieces, they just never fit

I was there but I wish I could forget

When Little Jeanie breathed her last breath

Another drug related death

 

We are the wild boys

We are the action

Wild games and wild toys

No satisfaction

 

Tomorrow I think I’ll stay in bed all day

And shut the sunlight from my room

Maybe then it won’t be true

Just a bad bad dream

 

We are the wild boys

We are the action

Wild games and wild toys

No satisfaction

A LIFETIME OF TROUBLE

Bad luck is my middle name

The wheel of fortune spins

But it’s just a fixed game

I need love,

I’m like anyone else

There must be a Heaven

Cause I know there’s a Hell

 

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

 

Always a day late

And a dollar short

Now, my landlord

He wants to take me to court

You need help

A mess of help to get by

Lovers betray, and friends they lie

 

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

 

I gotta find a love like I never had

One that start good and don’t end up bad

I need a shoulder I can rest my weary head on

I wanna forget, I never wanna let on

 

Come here, honey

Sit right down

I’ve had a rough time, yeah

But, I’m still around

About love

I picked the right way to learn

Now, I know I gotta get something in return

 

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

I’ve had a lifetime of trouble, oh yeah

LIFE’S GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME

 

I wake up each day

With a smile on my face

Cause life’s getting better all the time

 

The clouds of last year

Have all but disappeared

Cause life’s getting better all the time

 

Cause life’s getting better all the time, baby

Cause life’s getting better all the time, honey

Cause life’s getting better all the time

Day by day

 

Got my gang, got my girl

Now I’m ready for the whole damn world

Cause life’s getting better all the time

 

We’re young, strong and free

Livin’ in America

And we’re proud to be

Where life’s getting better all the time

 

Cause life’s getting better all the time, baby

Cause life’s getting better all the time, honey

Cause life’s getting better all the time

Day by day

 

Life has its little ups and downs

And everything that goes around comes around

I’ve been working on a dream come true

Every waking moment for me and you

Working on a dream for me and you

Working on a life for me and you

 

Cause life’s getting better all the time, baby

Cause life’s getting better all the time, honey

Cause life’s getting better all the time

Day by day

 

Cause life’s getting better all the time, baby

Cause life’s getting better all the time, honey

Cause life’s getting better all the time

Day by day
