Don't say you love me babe,
I know you'd be lying
I can see it in your smile
It's like a drug now
You're addicted to them blues
Always getting high
Oh ! But the rain it falls
From the way I feel, the way I feel

Empty souls and empty hearts
We don't choose, I'm still a
Fool the blues

Oh those bitter words
How they hurt me baby
Do someone hurt you bad?
All this pain
We have inside all of us
From the love we never had
Oh ! And the rain still falls
But I know baby through it all
Oh ! They say time will heal
But I know from the way I feel, the way I feel

Empty souls and empty hearts we don't choose
I'm still a fool the blues
Empty souls and empty hearts we don't choose
I'm still a fool the blues

How can I explain this feeling that's true
Honey I can't hardly stand it
I wanna make love to you

When the stars fall from the heavens
And the rivers have stopped their flow
If you'd just stop and talk to me
Honey that's when I'd know

I aint gonna try to tell you
How it's made me so blue
Sitting alone and wondering
I wanna make love to you

Please stop and tell me
Tell me you want me too
Oh ! Come on baby
I wanna make love to you

I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you

Oh ! I wanna make love to you

I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you

Well the water runs the river
And the river runs to the sea
And I'll come running to you baby
If you come running to me

But it gets kind of hard sometimes, so hard sometimes
Honey if you're not there, if you're not there
I want a sweet love, sweet love to share
So why don't we have a love affair?
Why don't we have a love affair?

Softly you were speaking
Whispering your words
Your head laid on my shoulder
And everything you said I heard

But it gets kind of hard sometimes, so hard sometimes
If you're not there, if you're not there
Cause there's a sweet love, sweet love us to share
Why don't we have a love affair?
Why don't we have a love affair?

Why don't we have a love affair?
So the whole world can see
Why don't we have a love affair?
Honey just you and me

Cause it gets kind hard sometimes
So hard sometimes
Baby when you're not there
When you're not there
So if we can't be together
Just say a little prayer
Why don't we have a love affair?
Why don't we have a love affair?

Baby just you and me

They should have named a hurricane after you
With the trouble you cause and damage you do
You never look back on the runs that remains
Like a hurricane

I never should have opened up my window
The night I saw the lightning in you eyes
I never should have let you touch me with your finger
Cause you cut a path of destruction blowin' through my life...
I ain't lyin'

I left the warm and tener arms that loved me
I left the safety of my home and family
I don't see the bitter tears on the horizon
I was all caught up in the power of your love rainin' down on me
Oh ! Listen baby

Oh ! And you blow in and out of my life, yes you do
I try to lock you out baby
But you keep on setting my little red house on fire

Somebody tell me why I never learn from my mistakes
Cause here I am standin' alone in the cold
Looking and the mess of my heart you've made

Hot words on a summer night
You n' me having a fight
One drink and it all come out
Before I knew what we were fightin' about
Hurt come from a midnight place
Dressed in a web of lace
Brainstorm blowin' up inside
I can't stop wanting you
I can't stop wanting you

Now I know it's a modern world
And baby you're a modern girl
And I try to be tops at school
Pickin' up on these modern rules
Teacher come and teacher go
Teacher know when a boy is slow
This boy got a lot to learn
I can't stop wanting you
I can't stop wanting you

It's a new kind of world
For a boy and a girl
And my mind is in a whirl
I can't stop wanting you
I can't stop wanting you

Hot words on a summer night
You n' me having a fight
One drink and it all come out
Before I knew what were fightin' about
I tried but the truth is hot
I can't stop wanting you
I can't stop wanting you

We're under a spotlight, I guess the time has gone
We've come to that point babe, to stay or move on
Can we try to reconsider or are the chances gone ?

I see black clouds in the sky tonight
I see a red moon telling me we've hit troubled time
Can we try to reconsider or are the chances gone ?
Are the chances gone ?

Well I hope you're listening to these words I say
Put these doubts aside and baby come my way
Can we try to reconsider or are the chances gone ?

Tell me can we try to reconsider or are the chances gone ?
Tell me can we try to reconsider or are the chances gone ?

Hot night in the city streets
Old papers blowin' 'round my feet
Some dude's got his eyes on you
Better walk quickly down the avenue
Somewhere somebody's baby cries
A new heart beats as another one dies

It ain't easy but you live and learn
If you don't get what you want
You might get what you deserve

It's a rough town
You give it all just to live in fear
No refuge no place to run
Talkin' 'bout a rough town
Gotta find a way to get outta here
Ain't no way around it
It's a rough town

Cold dawn comes with the break of day
Morning sky turns gun metal grey
From an upstairs window there's a woman scream
A nightmare vision from some junkies dream
An angry fist beatin' on an old steel door
Tell me why you here
Who are you lookin' for?

It ain't easy but it ain't for long
This place is crazy
Tell me, hey, where did things go wrong?

It's a rough town
Middle of the night and the street's alive
It's a gamble it's a chance you take
Talkin' 'bout a rough town
Gonna turn your world inside out
Call it what you want but
It's a rough town

2 a.m. I can't get to sleep
I bin lyin' here on these sweat-stained sheets
Beneath my window the city crawls
It's a rat race outside these walls, Oh Yeah!

It's a rough town
You give it all just to live in fear
No refuge no place to run
Gotta find a way to get outta here
Ain't no way around it
It's a rough town

It's a rough town
Middle of the night and the street's alive
It's a gamble it's a chance you take
Talkin' 'bout a rough town
Gonna turn your world inside out
Call it what you want but
It's a rough town

When the lightnin' strikes and the sky turns red
Better bolt your door, put your child to bed
Better pour a drink, better drink it fast
Smoke a cigarette, 'till the storm has passed
Better make no sound, babe don't be around
When the lightnin' strikes

In the drivin' rain, when the darkness falls
On the howlin' wind, can you hear the call
Better draw the blinds, better say a prayer
Hear your back door slam, but there's no one there
Better make no sound, babe don't be around
When the lightnin strikes

Don't be around, don't you make no sound
When the lightnin' strikes
Better curl it up, keep it outta sight
Oh Lord, when the lightnin' strikes
Baby don't be around, baby don't make a sound
On the darkest night, when the lightnin' strikes
In the drivin' rain, you can hear the call
In the drivin' rain, when the lightnin' strikes
Oh Lord

Slow heat creepin'
It's creppin' deep inside of me
Slow heat creepin'
It's a burnin' misery
And the sun just keeps on beating
It's left me here beleiving
It's gonna be a... dry spell dry spell
I wish it would rain down on me

Sorry don't do it
Sorry won't fill my wishin' well
Sorry just don't do it
Tears won't fill my wishin' well
You wasted all the water
And left me in this livin' hell
It's gonna be a... dry spell dry spell
I wish it would rain down on me

Well I ain't cryin', it's just some dust got in my eyes
Baby, I'm not cryin'
It's just some dust got in my eyes
And there's a barren sky, hangin' hangin' over you and I
It's gonna be a... dry spell dry spell
I wish it would rain down on me

It's a dry spell

She ain't getting any younger
And all the preasure she was under
She don't need a lover
Who will only bring her down
Now the lover she is beeing
He decided he is leaving
Said see you next time arround

Oh these times they're not treating you fair
The last thing you need right now is a lover
You gotta share

Baby you're mine, I won't let you down
Your soul lies open, it's been dragged
Through this town
Baby you're min, gonna turn your world
Around, there will be no mistaking this time
Baby you're mine

She knew what she was doing
All the lovers that she was choosing
But when it didn't work oui to plan
She'd come running, oh I saw it coming
Like so many times before

I can't go on like this, no I can't pretend
I fell it's gone too far
These tears and pain should end

Baby you're mine, I won't let you down
Your soul lies open, it's been dragged
Through this town
Baby you're min, gonna turn your world
Around, there will be no mistaking this time
Baby you're mine

Now I know it's hard to see me as a lover
So long I've been your friend
Take a chance, you don't know what you will discover
You gotta beleive me baby
Your broken heart will mend

No one's gonna hurt you babe
No one's gonna touch you babe now that you're mine
No one's gonna love you like me
No one's gonna hold you me now that you're mine
Baby you're mine

Well you change your mind, like you change your dress and
I'm feeling fine but I must confess
I'm like a feather on the wind
And I'm not the same since you blew in
I've been trying hard to catch you
Trid, I tried, I tried
It's like flagging down a hurricane
And asking for a ride
you better hurry up make love to me
Before you change your mind

Well I can't go back even if I could
With every kiss I gotta knock on wook
Tied to your wagon it's a bumpy ride
Baby I love you but I don't know why
I've been trying hard to catch you
Trid, I tried, I tried
Like a cat on wheels hanging on with all my might
you better hurry up make love to me
Before you change your mind

I've been staying up late waiting for your call
Well I'd run to you in no time at all
Can't nail you down, is these something wrong?
Well I rush right in but you're already gone
I've been trying hard to cath you
Trid, I tried, I tried
Won't you treat me like you used to do
Before you say goodnight
Hurry up make love to me
Before you change your mind

The night is closing down
On every street in town
And I look for your face
As I leave every place
Wish you were still around

I sing them one last song
Somehow it sounds all wrong
'Cause you're not there with me
In the harmony
Where you used to be

Oh, it's a long way home
It's a long way home
In the night alone
When your songs are all gone
And your life runs no
It's a long way home
It's a long way home

I'll ask you how you've been
When we meet again
And all the wilderness
Between that time and this
Will vanish as we kiss

Oh, it's a long way home
It's a long way home
In the night alone
When your songs are all gone
And your life runs no
It's a long way home
It's a long way home

You are the only one
Who can feel all the miles
I've gone on my way back home

Oh, it's a long way home
It's a long way home
In the night alone
When your songs are all gone
And your life runs no
It's a long way home
