ALL I WANNA DO IS YOU
Working hard eight days a week
Most days we got no time to speak
I feel like I'm chasing after my own life
Girl can't you see you're my only vice
Take the phone off the hook
Turn the lights down low
We'll play some old Sam Cooke
Baby, let yourself go
Chorus:
All I wanna do is you
All I wanna do is you
I'll do anything you want me to
All I wanna do is you
I don't care what kinda clothes you wear
It doesn't matter how you do your hear
I don't need no champagne on ice
Girl, can't you see that you're my only vice
Turn the whole world off
Keep your high heels on
Take it nice and slow
And make it last 'til dawn
Chorus:
All I wanna do is you
All I wanna do is you
I'll do anything you want me to
All I wanna do is you
I don't wanna eat
I don't wanna sleep
Don't wanna sit around and watch TV
When you're next to me it's where I wanna be
All I wanna, all I wanna, all I wanna do…
All I wanna do is you
All I wanna do is you
I'll do anything you want me to
All I wanna do is you
Repeat

ALWAYS (DEMO)
This Romeo is bleeding but you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings that this old dog just kicked up
Since you've left me it's been raining now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter but without you I give up
Now I can't sing a love song like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore but baby, that's just me
Chorus:
And I will love you, baby, always
And I'll be there forever and a day, always
I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine,
'til the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die you'll be on my mind and I'll love you
Always
Now your picture's all that you left behind
With some memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made you cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give you to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man
When he holds you close and he pulls you near
And he says the words that you needed to hear
I wish I was him 'cause those words are mine
To say to you 'til the end of time
Chorus:
And I will love you, baby, always
And I'll be there forever and a day, always
I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine
'til the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die you'll be on my mind and I'll love you
Always
If you told me to cry for you, baby I could
If you told me to die for you, I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
Just to say these words to you
What I got ain't luck and these loaded dice
So baby if you give me one more try
We can pack up that old bag up with our old life
We can find a place where the sun still shines
Chorus:
And I will love you, baby, always
And I'll be there forever and a day, always
I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine
'til the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die you'll be on my mind and I'll love you
Always
Always

BILLY
Since you're been gone now honey life ain't nothing but sad luck days
I begged on my knees now, sugar
You acted like you never knew my name
My friends saw you at the station
I guess you must have missed your train
Tell me is it 'cause you love me, Billy
Or is it just because you love the pain?
Chorus:
Billy, Billy
Ain't love hard to explain?
For a debutante you're a real hard woman
But I love you just the same
How come you're sad when I get happy?
Why do you laugh when I want to cry?
Tell me why when I say I need you
You turn around and you say goodbye
Why do you think that a heart's so fragile?
Can you tell me why love's so blind?
Just like a magnet you pull me under
I can't resist you, we're two of a kind
Chorus:
Billy, Billy
Ain't love hard to explain?
For a debutante you're a real hard wmoan
But I love you just the same
Billy , Billy
We're better lovers than friends
Life is like a movie but this ain't pretend
There really doesn't have to be a happy end
Chorus:
Billy, Billy
Ain't love hard to explain?
For a debutante you're a real hard woman
But I love you just the same
I never said you had to walk on water
Or that I could ever stop the rain
Some times we break up just to make up, baby
And we don't care who's to blame
Billy, Billy
Ain't love hard to explain?
For a debutante you're a real hard woman
But I love you just the same
Billy, Billy
Can we be lovers and friends
Life if like a movie but this ain't pretend
There really doesn't have to be a happy end

BREATHE
What's the world coming to?
Where are we all running to?
Not all our dreams are coming true
We can't let it break us
In two hearts that beat as one
Can't let the clouds cover the sun
If I'm ramblin' I'm guilty of wearing my heart on my sleeve
Chorus:
When it hurts, breathe
When it burns, breathe
The feeling inside you is feeling like I do
Take a breath, breathe
Let it out, breathe
Just close your eyes, don't hold it inside you
Breathe
She said, baby you look down tonight
There's something wrong and that ain't right
I hear you talking in your sleep
I want to dive into your dreams and wrap my loving arms around you
Protect you when the waves crash down on you
When you're lost and you're scared, I'll be the air
Chorus:
When it hurts, breathe
When it burns, breathe
The feeling inside you is feeling like I do
Take a breath, breathe
Let it out, breathe, Just close your eyes
Don't close it inside you
Breathe
When you give and you take and it feels like something breaks
It's alright. Breathe.
Chorus:
When it hurts, breathe
When in doubt, breathe
When it burns, breathe
Let it out, breathe
When you give, breathe
When you love, breathe
When you live, breathe
When you touch, breathe
If all that we've got is each other
Than all that we got is a lot
When it hurts, breathe
When it burns, breathe
The feeling inside you is feeling like I do
Take a breath, breathe
Let it out, breathe
Just close your eyes, don't hold it inside you
Breathe.

CRAZY LOVE
The city sounds like a symphony
A cabbie screams obscenities
The horns are honking jazz in the night
Her street is lit like a Christmas tree
This place is my amphetamine
She junks me but it's alright
In her summer dress she parts the sea
Her hair wrapped up in rosary beads
Everyone else is gone but her and me
Chorus:
Here she comes, it's crazy love
Here it comes again
That crazy thing called love
Here she comes, it's crazy love
Here it comes again
Sitting on my stoop
I lit one up and put the ashes in my coffee cup
And watched the world passing me by
Throw a coat of paint on this rusty heart
Ain't it funny how life imitates art
Saint Valentine he's got bloody knees tonight
But when she's walking down the street
The sidewalk's there to kiss her feet
Chorus:
Here she comes, it's crazy love
Here it comes again
That crazy thing called love
Here she comes, it's crazy love
Here it comes again
She needs me, pleads me
Wraps me in her loving charms
She'll tease me, squeeze me
But I'm the man when I'm in her arms
Now the angels sing a melody
That they wrote for her explicitly
That no one hears but her and me
Now wait a minute… wait I can't believe my eyes
Who's that coming around the corner?
Ay, she's lookin' fine ain't she? … get out the way!
No, no, no get out the way… look at those high heel sneakers…
Chorus:
Here she comes, it's crazy love
Here it comes again
That crazy thing called love
Here she comes, it's crazy love
That crazy thing called love

EDGE OF A BROKEN HEART
And there I stood just like a soldier
I was tough until I saw her
I said hello but she just turned away
Hey Romeo, whatchya doin' with my girl?
Who are you using now? I turn and walk away
I'm gonna please her
Now you can believe it
I'll be there to catch her when she falls
Chorus:
Here I am (on the edge of a broken heart)
I'm a man (on the edge of a broken heart)
Here we stand (on the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can 'cause you know
I'm a man on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the outside, looking inside
You're with him, whose on the wrong side now?
Do you still think of me?
I've tried to call but no one answers
Two silhouettes, a private dancer
The lights go dim as the music starts to fade away
I'm the one who needs you
Now you can believe it
I'll be there to catch you when you fall
Chorus:
You better believe I'm a man (on the edge of a broken heart)
Here I am (on the edge of a broken heart)
And we stand (on the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can 'cause you know
I'm a man on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
And when I hold out my hands
I'll be reaching for you
I give it all that I've got
That's all I can do
When you're waiting for love
I'll be waiting for you
Chorus:
On the edge of a broken heart (on the edge of a broken heart)
Only for you (on the edge of a broken heart)
Baby for you (on the edge of a broken heart)

EVERY BEAT OF MY HEART
As a hard rain beats down in the night it sounds like applause
Still I can't hear a sound with the beat of my heart
I can't pick up that phone anymore and I need to confess
If I don't say 'I love you' everything else is a waste of my breathe
Chorus:
Every beat of my heart I would give
Every beat of my heart just to live
To live for your love, if all that I want
Is to die in your arms
I'd give you every beat of my heart
As I whisper your name I wish you were here by my side
And the only way that I find you is when I close my eyes
With my ring on your finger I hope and I pray
That you know deep in your soul with every step that you take
Chorus:
Every beat of my heart I would give
Every beat of my heart just to live
I live for your love, if all that I want
Is to die in your arms
I'd give you every beat of my heart
It's the little things that you do that make me want you more
It's the way your hands are trembling but what they trembling for?
It's the way the smile fits on your lips
The way you hold me tight
God knows I'd give everything to be in your arms tonight
Chorus:
I live for your love, it's all that I want
Is to die in your arms
I'd give you every beat of my heart
Just to live
Every beat of my heart, just to live
I live for your love, it's all that I want
To die in your arms
I'd give you every beat of my heart
Give you every beat of my heart
Give you every beat of my heart
Give you every beat of my heart
Give you every beat of my heart
Give you every beat of my heart

FIRE INSIDE
Silver bullet in the wild blue
Crack in the walls I'm coming through
Think you can stop me, well take a look in these eyes
You can't cage what you can't tame
There ain't no rules, this ain't a game
There's no way to stop the fire inside
You can escape a pouring rain
You can run for shelter in a hurricane
Change your face, lose your name
Lie about things you can't explain
But there's one thing that you cannot deny
Chorus:
The fire inside
The fire inside
You can run from what's in your blood and you can't hide
From the fire inside
The fire inside
Tonight I'll run I need no sleep
When it feels this good you're in too deep
In blood I'm gonna write my name, cover my tracks I feel no shame
Just let 'em try and stop the fire inside
Chorus:
The fire inside, the fire inside
You can run from what's in your blood and you can't hide
The fire inside, the fire inside
It's the only way you know you're still alive
The fire inside, the fire inside
There's no place for me in heaven
Tonight I just might die
They'll be no one to hold my hand
For me no one will cry
There'll be no forgiveness but I'll never deny
Chorus:
The fire inside, the fire inside
You can't run from what's in your blood and you can't hide
The fire inside, the fire inside
It's the only way to know you're still alive
The fire inside, the fire inside
The fire inside, the fire inside
It's the fire inside, the fire inside
It's the fire inside, the fire inside

FLESH & BONE
They judge you by your money
Or the color of your skin
They read you by the cover
Don't take time to read within
They judge you without jury
And you struggle to believe
No one could hear your story
Even justice had to leave
Chorus:
All I know (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
They build the walls around you
And they tell you you don't fit
And still you think you know me
You don't know the half of it
I'm a beggar, you're a savior
I'm your devil, you're a thief
I'll be here until you realize
I'm you and you are me
Chorus:
All that I know (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
All that I know (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
Do the cuts bleed any different
On a pauper or a king?
When it comes down to dying
The crown don't mean a thing
No, no, no…
Chorus:
(All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (All we are is on all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
(All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (All we are is on all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)

FOUR-LETTER WORD (ORIGINAL DEMO VERSION)
She was waiting alone at the station praying for her train to arrive
Thinking 'bout her destination, her tattered bag had all she had in life
She turned her back on her family, she said goodbye to her friends
She turned her back on a married man when she took off the wedding band
But through her crying she said I don't need this
Through the tears she said it's all a waste
It ain't nothing like it is in the movies
Here a hit is just a slap in the face
Chorus:
And it's no big secret so forget all you heard
'cause love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
For some it's for better, for us it's for worse
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Nothing…
This time he said was the last time, last time he said just the same
In your heart you know that they'll be a next time
Your battered bones would have to explain
Now your bruises can ride on religion
Since you swore it was for better or worse
But how many times must you lay down and say
It's something that I deserved
Chorus:
It ain't no big secret so forget all you heard
'cause love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
For some it's a blessing, for some it's a curse
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Forget about your rosary beads to take you through your time of need
You'll pray I cross that line
And take it one day at a time
Still you try and make some sense of all the things that he had said
Was there something so wrong to turn eyes so blue
To fiery eyes of red again?
Chorus:
There ain't no big secret so forget all you heard
'cause love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
For some it's for better, for some it's for worse
But love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
There's no big secret so forget all you heard
Cause love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
For some it's a blessing, for some it's a curse
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word

GARAGELAND
I read the paper just the other day
About a buddy of mine who headed to an early grave
They say he went in his sleep
With a smile on his face
Bet he was dreaming 'bout those better days
When the crash of the drums
Hit like the waves on a beach
That cheap bass and guitar and our wildest dreams
We were searching for a savior like anybody else
Trying to save ourselves from ourselves
Chorus:
Just a garage band
We weren't alive
We were livin' in Garageland
Our parents all held jobs but we had other plans
We acted like our heroes
They just didn't understand
We were never afraid to fall
It was us and those four walls
Chorus:
Just a Garage band
We weren't alive
We were livin' in Garageland
Nothing else felt so right
Just us, those guitars
And a Saturday night
Chorus:
Just a Garage band
We weren't alive
We were livin' in Garageland
Nothing else felt so right
Just us, those guitars
And a Saturday night

GOOD GUYS DON'T ALWAYS WEAR WHITE
You say you don't like my kind
A bitter picture in your mind
No, it don't matter what I say
I hear you bitchin' when I walk away
I'll never be what you want me to be
You tell me I'm wrong but I disagree
I ain't go no apology
Just because I don't look like you, talk like you, think like you
Judge and jury, a hangman's noose
I see them in your eyes
Chorus:
Good guys don't always wear white
Good guys don't always wear white
You judge a man who don't stand in line
Just because he ain't on your side
You know the man who wears those shoes
If you cut me don't I bleed like you? (You know I do)
I don't know what you've been told
Can't buy guts with a pot o' gold
A rich man's poor if he got no soul
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, king
All that shit don't mean a thing
Do you know which one's behind those eyes?
It's all a disguise
Chorus:
Good guys don't always wear white
Good guys don't always wear white
Hey baby, whose side you on?
You think you got it all figured out where we belong
Forget all about your dark from light
Day from night
Wrong from right
Chorus:
Good guys don't always wear white
Good guys don't always wear white
Good guys don't always wear white
Good guys don't always wear white
Tell your Mama, baby
Good guys don't always wear white
Don't always wear, don't always wear
Don't always wear, don't always wear
Don't always wear, don't always wear
White

GOTTA HAVE A REASON
Here we stand, caught between the cradle and the grave
In a world that gives you nothing but your name
With every step you take you must be brave
Nothing lost is nothing gained
And I know lives are lost for crowns and kings
We all know love is lost for lesser things
And the angels here have broken wings
Though I know somewhere a choir sings
Chorus:
You gotta have a reason
A reason to believe
A reason just to dream
Sometimes it takes blind eyes to see
A reason to believe
A hot-headed hero, here you see I'm just a man
Comes a time, a time to make a stand
So here I am with heart in hand
Don't be afraid to understand
Chorus:
You gotta have a reason
One reason to believe
A reason just to dream
Sometimes it takes blind eyes to see
A reason to believe in trust,
I believe in faith
I believe in us
'Til my dying day
You gotta have a reason
You gotta have a reason
If all we've got is you and me
Then what we've got is all we need
Chorus:
You gotta have as reason
One reason to believe
A reason just to dream
But sometimes it takes blind eyes to see
One reason
You gotta have a reason
One reason to believe
A reason just to dream
But sometimes it takes blind eyes to see
One reason
Gotta have a reason
Gotta have a reason
One reason to believe
A reason just to dream

I GET A RUSH
Every day of my life has been leading me here tonight
Feels like I'm coming home back to you, back to you
Every chance that I take
Every wrong turn and every mistake
Is a step on the road back to you
And I'm alive
Chorus:
I like it, I like it, I can't get enough
I like it, I like it, yeah, I get a rush
I like what I like and I like it too much
You know what I like, yeah, I get a rush
And my goal, I see you, you're as close as the hole in my shoe
And when I'm feeling used, I'm renewed, I get high
I can fly, I've got wings
I've got riches that money can't bring
I've got more than a king, I've got you
And baby, that's alright
Chorus:
I like it, I like it, I can't get enough
I like it, I like it, yeah, I get a rush
I like what I like and I like it too much
You know what I like, yeah, I get a rush
From you, everything you do
I call it love
Yeah, I get a rush, I get a rush
Every day of my life has been leading me here tonight
And wherever I roam I'm heading back home to you
Back to you
Chorus:
I like it, I like it, I can't get enough
I like it, I like it, yeah, I get a rush
I like what I like and I like it too much
You know what I like, yeah, I get a rush
I like it, I like it, I can't get enough
I like it, I like it, yeah, I get a rush
I like what I like and I like it too much
You know what I like, yeah, I get a rush
From you, everything you do
I call it love
Yeah, I get a rush, I get a rush from you

I JUST WANNA BE YOUR MAN
Hello, baby, it's only me
I know you're tired, it's been a long hard week
I was thinking maybe if you ain't got no plans
I just wanna be your man
Tonight I wanna be your man
Know what you're thinking, that you've got your doubts
I'm the only one that knows what your dreams are about
If you say no then I will understand
I just wanna be your man
Tonight I wanna be your man
And all I want is to dream out loud
We used to think we had it all worked out
I know that you don't want to be alone
The streets outside are so damn cold
You still ever think of you and me as 'us'?
Or another thing we let die and turn to dust?
I wasn't there to clean the cuts
I want the one who got caught in the ruts
I was just thinking maybe if you got no plans
I…
I just wanna…
Tonight I wanna be your man

IF I CAN'T HAVE YOUR LOVE
It's hard to remember a time
When I didn't have you, when I didn't have nothing but a cold bed to come to at night
That was all I knew, until there was you
And then you took my world and turned it all around
I couldn't leave without you now
Chorus:
Baby, if I can't have your love
If I can't feel your touch I got nothing
Baby, if I can't taste your kiss then I don't exist
I got nothing
No I can't imagine living life without you
I can't imagine living life without your love
I wake up with you by my side
Can't let go, I can't even bear the thought of you in another man's eyes
I would lose control, I would die
'Cause now you're in my heart and I can't let you out
I gotta keep you here somehow
Chorus:
Baby, if I can't have your love
If I can't feel your touch I got nothing
Baby, if I can't taste your kiss then I don't exist
I got nothing
If I can't be your man, I wouldn't know who I am
I got nothing
I got nothing
No, I can't imagine living life without you
I can't imagine living life without your love
'Cause I can't imagine living life without you
Can't imagine living life without your love
Believe me baby I don't mean to doubt you
But if you ever leave, that would be the end of me, baby
Chorus:
Baby, if I can't feel your touch I got nothing
Baby, if I can't taste your kiss then I don't exist
I got nothing
I got nothing
If I can't be your man, I wouldn't know who I am
I'd be nothing
Baby, if I can't have your love
If I can't feel your touch
I got nothing
No, I can't imagine living life without you
I can't imagine living life without your love

KIDNAP AN ANGEL
I get up every morning, drink coffee alone
My house it too quiet; I'm the only one home
I let the newspapers pile up at the door
I can't be bothered; I don't read 'em no more
The flowers are blooming, the ones you planted last spring
I can't make much sense out of anything
Chorus:
If I could kidnap an angel
I'd clip off his wings
And bring them to you
That would fix everything
I get in the car like I do every day
Wondering how in the world did it turn out this way?
It's just 'round the corner, turn left and I'm there
I'd do anything to be anywhere but here
Chorus:
If I could kidnap an angel
I'd clip off his wings
And bring them to you
That would fix everything
If I could kidnap an angel
He could teach us to fly
We'd live forever, forever
We'd never die
If I could kidnap an angel
Now the parking attendant knows my first name
These long green hallways all look the same
There's four elevators, one goes to that floor
I brace myself when I get to the door
I close my eyes and take a deep breath
Then sit down beside your hospital bed
Chorus:
If I could kidnap an angel
I'd clip off his wings
I'd bring them to you
That would fix everything
If I could kidnap an angel
He could teach us to fly
We'd live forever, forever
We'd never die
If I could kidnap an angel
If I could kidnap an angel
He'd say the word
He'd tear down these walls
People laughing like children through these hospital halls
There'd be no more tears
There'd be no more blood
There'd be nothing but smiles
Nothing but love
If I could kidnap an angel…
If I could kidnap an angel…

LAST CHANCE TRAIN
October leaves are falling, so am I
A harvest moon is calling me and I know why
The traffic's like a symphony in blue
In the autumn air I smell your sweet perfume
I miss you sitting cross-legged in this empty room
Yesterdays are eating me alive
I'm your angel, baby - I've got broken wings
I can't walk, I can't run, I can't drop until you're next to me, so the only thing…
Chorus:
You gotta meet me tonight
I'm on a last chance train
Leave a flower the station, I know my destination
Love bring me home again
You try to reach me but I've sailed away
You tried to read me but my words got in the way
The music's over but the dance has just begun
I wish that I could just get back to Baltimore
You know I'd scratch, I'd claw, I'd scream 'til I'm raw, just to fall down at your door
Chorus:
You gotta meet me tonight
I'm on a last chance train
Leave a flower at the station, I know my destination
Love bring me home again
Let the scarecrows laugh coming down the tracks
At the broken hearts that don't come back
'Cause the train has left the station with my pain
Let them forget my name, oh…
I'm on a last chance train
Sitting here I smoke my nineteenth cigarette
Now all that's left are ashes, butts and my regrets
It's your taste that I just can't forget
You gotta meet me tonight
I'm on a last chance train
Let the scarecrows laugh coming down the tracks
At the broken hearts that don't come back
We'll be laughing at them, crying in the rain
It's you and I again, oh..
Chorus:
You gotta meet me tonight
I'm on a last chance train
Leave a flower at the station, I know my destination
Love bring me home again
I'm on a last chance train
It's gonna bring me home to you
Oh, the last chance train
This time I'm coming through, coming through

LAST MAN STANDING
Come see a living, breathing spectacle only seen right here
It's your last chance in this lifetime, the line forms to the rear
You won't believe your eyes
Your eyes will not believe your ears
Get your money out, get ready
Step right up, yeah you, come here
You ain't seen nothing like him, the last one of his breed
You better hold on to your money, honey
Honeys, don't forget to breathe
Enter at your own risk, mister
It might change the way you think
There's no dancers, there's no diamonds
No, this boy don't lip synch
Chorus:
Here's the last man standing
Step right up, here's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
Come and see, hear, feel… the real thing
See those real live calloused fingers wrapped around those guitar strings
Kiss the kips where hurt has lingered
It breaks your heart to hear him sing
The songs were more than music, they were pictures from his soul
So keep your pseudo-punk, hip-hop, pop-rock junk
And your digital downloads
Chorus:
Here's the last man standing
Step right up, here's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
Come and see, hear, feel… the real thing
Take your seats, now folks - it's showtime
Hey, Patrick, hit the lights
There's something in the air, there's magic in the night
Now here's the band, the really play
I'll count the first one in
I don't know where it's going
We all know where it's been
Chorus:
The last man standing
Step right up, here's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
To come and see, hear, feel…
The last man standing
Step right up, here's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
Come and see, hear, feel… the real thing, the real thing, the real

LETTER TO A FRIEND
I'll be there to hold you by the hand
When you need someone to walk you home
You know that I'll be there to understand
When you call me on the phone
I'll be there to watch you when you sleep
When you close your eyes at night
And I'll be there to keep your secrets kept,
Cross my heart, hope to die
I swear each word is true
There's only one thing I wouldn't do
I'll be there when you need a real friend
I'll be there to listen to your secrets
I'll be there and give you all I've got
I'll be there when you paint your masterpiece
And I'll be right beside your every move
I'll give you my eyes so you can see
And I'll help you to find the things you've lost
When you're busting at the seams
I swear each word is true
There's only one thing I wouldn't do
I ain't gonna love you
I ain't gonna love you
Chorus:
Nobody wants you like I want you
Nobody needs you like I need you
You know I would beg and plead, get down on my knees
I'd do most anything, it's true
But I ain't gonna love you
I ain't gonna love you
'Cause I love you
I'll be there to love the things you love
I'll be the one who knows your middle name
Be the only one that you can trust
I'll give you the blood that's in my veins
I swear these words are true
There's only one thing I wouldn't do
I ain't gonna love you
Chorus:
'Cause nobody wants you like I want you
Nobody needs you like I need you
You know I would beg and please, get down on my knees
Do most anything for you
But I ain't gonna love you
I ain't gonna love
'Cause I love you
Because I love you

LONELY AT THE TOP
Tell Frannie I'm sorry she didn't get to know her dad
I'll bet he's sorry he didn't get to know you too
Tell her there'll be people saying things that make her sad
How her daddy felt alone, how he was hurtin' bad
I guess that won't be too far from the truth
Chorus:
Yeah, it's lonely at the top
Happy is one thing it's not
I was jaded, suffocated; it got too hard to breathe
But never got as high as I needed to be
You know life becomes worthless when they steal your dreams
I just couldn't live with what was left for me
And I couldn't run far enough from the truth - what's the use?
Chorus:
Yeah, it's lonely at the top
Happy is one thing it's not
Before you know you find yourself alone and looking down
No one there can help you stop before you hit the ground
It's lonely at the top
Tell Frannie I'm sorry - I better kiss her when she cries
I'm sorry I left her, never said goodbye
Didn't mean to leave you all alone but then the music died
Though the song remains the same, I couldn't live that lie
You know that ain't too far from the truth
And you know that ain't too far from the truth
Chorus:
Yeah, it's lonely at the top
Happy's one thing it's not
Before you know you find yourself alone and looking down
No one there to help you stop before you hit the ground
Yeah, it's lonely at the top
Yeah, it's lonely at the top
It's lonely

FOUR-LETTER WORD
She was waiting alone at the station praying for her train to arrive
Thinking 'bout her destination, the tattered bag had all she had in life
She turned her back on her family, she turned her back on her friends
She turned her back on a married man when she took off that wedding band
She said, I'm giving up, silver clouds have turned to grey
Had enough, there's got to be a better way
Giving up, you know you've gotta walk
There's some things in life still worth fighting for
Chorus:
Ain't no big secret so forget all you heard
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
For some it's for better, for some it's for worse
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Love aint' nothing…
This time he said was the last time, last time he said just the same
In your heart you know that they'll be a next time
That your battered bones would have to explain
Givein' up, nothing's changing but the score
Had enough, every night love turns to war
Give it up, gave it all and wanted more
It ain't nothing worth dying for
Chorus:
It's no big secret so forget all you heard
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
For some it's a blessing, for some it's a curse
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Love ain't nothing…
Forget your mama's rosary beads to get you through this time of need
You know you gotta cross that line
You take it one day at a time
Had enough, the silver clouds all turning grey
I'm heading for a better day
Chorus:
No big secret so forget all you heard
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
For some it's for better, for some it's for worse
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Love aint' nothing (it ain't nothing now, baby)
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Love ain't nothing (nothing now, baby)
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Love ain't nothing (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Love ain't nothing
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word…

MAYBE SOMEDAY
And I would give up tomorrow
And die for one yesterday
I'd lie, beg, steal and borrow
To hear you whisper my name
Tonight there ain't no miracles
Washing up on this beach
The angels left here long ago
But I still believe that
Chorus:
Maybe someday
I will hold your hand
Maybe someday
We'll trace our footsteps in the sand
And just walk away… maybe someday
Now I don't know how a heart beats
But I sure know how one breaks
Remember how I used to hold you
To share every breath that you'd take
How can I forget
You're every tear that I cry
I know you're coming back
You never kissed me goodbye
Chorus:
Maybe someday
I will hold your hand
Maybe someday
We'll trace our footsteps in the sand
And just walk away… maybe someday
They say that nothing lasts forever
But we know our two hearts beat together
And though you're far away
Every night I pray
Maybe someday… Maybe someday…
Chorus:
Maybe someday
I will hold your hand
Maybe someday
We'll trace our footsteps in the sand
And just walk away… maybe someday
Maybe someday
I will hold your hand
Maybe someday
We'll trace our footsteps in the sand
And just walk away… maybe someday

MEMPHIS LIVES IN ME
There's a town that I call home
Where all the streets are paved with soul
Down on Beale there's a honky-tonk bar
So hear the wail of a blues guitar
Have a beer and drop a dime in the blind man's jar
The blues sing softly in the air like a Sunday morning prayer
Just one more drink and you'll see God everywhere
Like a sad old melody that cheers you up, it sets you free
That's how Memphis lives in me
There comes a time when muddy waters run rough
There comes a point when a man has had enough
Like a friend that always stands by me
Memphis knows me
Never showed me
How did life just had to be
I couldn't even try to run away, say goodbye
Here I was born and here is where I'll die
I'm just a man from Tennessee
I can't be what I can't be
All I know is Memphis lives in me
I said I'm just a man from Tennessee
Can't be what I can't be
All I know is Memphis lives
All I know is Memphis gives
All I know is Memphis lives in me

MISS FOURTH OF JULY
I used to live but now I survive
I used to believe but now it's just one day at a time
The circus is gone, it's all packed away
The clown's hat, the makeup's been packed in his case
Chorus:
So we wave goodbye to Miss Fourth of July
The queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thorns
Don't say we never tried, Miss Fourth of July
The stars that we reached for left us with nothing but dawn
I used to laugh but I've learned to cry
For I ain't too proud to let you see tears fall from these eyes
For all of my hopes, my heartaches and fears
For a night I just watched and you walked out of here
Chorus:
I just waved goodbye to Miss Fourth of July
The queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thorns
Don't say we never tried, Miss Fourth of July
The crown that we reached for left us with nothing
But your thorns left me wounded not unlike the truth
When innocence sang his last song
He'd tell me that it's all gone
Just look me in the eyes and say man, nothing at all
- solo -
I used to live, now I've learned to die
And I used to dream… I used to dream…
Chorus:
So now we wave goodbye to Miss Fourth of July
The queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thorns
Don't say we've never tried, Miss Fourth of July
The stars that we reached for, they've left us with nothing but dawn
Oh, yeah…
Nothing but a heavy hit of heartbreak
A handful of blues..
Oh, yeah…

NOBODY'S HERO
You're afraid and it feels like you're too tired to fight
Even your heart don't know if you're still alive
Man, you never felt so all alone in this world tonight
And I, don't you know that I felt the same?
I've seen this storm, I've been through the rain
You've gotta know that I feel your pain
Don't be afraid
When you're on the edge, I will rescue you
When you need a friend, I'll be there for you
Chorus:
I'm nobody's hero
For you I'd lay down my life
Nobody's hero
But I'd tear down the stars from the sky
If you would lean on me, baby, dream on me
You can bleed on me, just believe in me
Nobody's hero
Well out on these streets
They're waiting for blind eyes to see
They're waiting for our cuts to bleed
Out here they're waiting for you and me
Well alright, alright
'Cause this time you know I ain't afraid to fight
For you I ain't afraid to die
As long as you are by my side it will be alright
When all faith is gone, I will pray for you
Just keep holding on, I'll be there for you
Chrous:
I'm nobody's hero
For you I'd lay down my life
Nobody's hero
But I'd tear down the stars from the sky
If you lean on me, you can bleed on me
Baby, dream on me just believe in me
Nobody's hero
I'm nobody's hero
But for you I'd lay down my life
Nobody's here
But I'd tear down the stars from the sky
If you lean on me, you can bleed on me
Baby, dream on me, just believe in me
I'm nobody's hero
Nobody's hero
Baby, lean on me, you can dream on me
Just bleed on me, just believe in me

ONLY IN MY DREAMS
Barkeep pour me one last shot 'cause I must be on my way
Gotta make that same old stop that this soul makes everyday
Tell me why am I holding on? Harry, why is love like a flame?
It burns you when it's hot but Cupid's fire trucks never came
I can't bend the hands of time so I think myself to sleep
The way you never said goodbye if only in my dreams
Chorus:
Tell me where you want to go
Will you be what you want to be?
Are you longing for my touch?
It's only in my dreams
We sing the love songs you once sung
And the stars are so in reach
And I'll see the job gets done
If only in my dreams
Lord, I'd sacrifice my eyes; there's nothing else I'd rather see
And you can have my heart - it's of little use to me
And if you want my soul I'd throw it in for free
It's all I'm worth that's left since my angel got her wings
Now I'm down and on my knees; it's of little use to pray
Unless you give her back but there's no deals cut these days
They're only in my dreams
Chorus:
Tell me where you want to go
Tell me what you long to be
Are you longing for my touch?
If only in my dreams
We'll sing the love songs you once sung
Touch the stars they're all in reach
And I'll see the job gets done
If only in my dreams
Now I curse the daytime
When I'm alone at nighttime
'Cause I swore the sun shined just for you
And I know you anywhere
There ain't no pain, there ain't no tears
And if I have my way from the moment I get there…
Chorus:
Take me where you wanna go
We'll be who you wanna be
All I needed was your touch
All I want is you and me
We'll sing the love songs you once sung
And you'll be in my dream
Until that war is one
It's only in my dreams

OPEN ALL NIGHT
So you packed your bags you said you're leaving tonight
You gotta catch the last train to the pixie lights
It's your life, better get on board
Got all dolled up in your Sunday shoes
You got that lipstick on, nothing to lose
Except me, baby, singing the blues
So go on now just walk away, baby
Don't look back, you just drive me crazy, baby, baby, baby, baby
Chorus:
Don't worry about me, I'll get along
I'm like a neon sign that's always on
It's alright, I'm open all night
I'll be here waiting no matter how long
I'll keep the jukebox playing our favorite song
Hey, if you're lonely, I'm open all night
Open all night
I'll never turn out the lights
Open all night
You wave goodbye said baby, good luck
You better chase your dreams before they rust
Get what you can and hope it's enough
Go on now, you're on your way, baby
Break some hearts, hearts can break easy - baby, baby, baby, baby
Chorus:
Don't worry about me, I'll get along
I'm like a neon sign that's always on
It's alright, I'm open all night
I'll be here waiting no matter how long
I'll keep the jukebox playing our favorite song
Hey, if you're lonely, I'm open all night
Open all night
I'll never turn out the lights
Open all night
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If anybody had a heart, oh, if anybody had a heart…
They'd know how much, just how much I want you…

Chorus:
Open all night, I'll never turn out the lights
Don't worry about me, I'll get along
I'm like a neon sigh that's always on
It's alright, I'm open all night
I'll be here waiting no matter how long
I'll keep the jukebox playing our favorite song
If you're lonely, I'm open all night
Open all night
I'll never turn out the lights
Open all night
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…

ORDINARY PEOPLE
Little Jimmy just bought high-top sneakers
He wants to fly high like his heroes can
He's got a smile like Michael Jordan
In the school yard, Jimmy, he's the man
I'm sitting here watching his heart beating
He's ten feet tall, all five foot four of him
Come six o'clock working out his foul shots
The ball ain't falling, Momma's calling
She smiles and says
Chorus:
You and me, we're ordinary people
Living in our ordinary lives
We can be ordinary people
But these are extraordinar
