One night love affair
Tryin' to make like we don't care
We were both reachin' out for somethin'
One night love affair
Pretendin' it ain't there
Oh - and now we're left with nothin'
When the mornin' breaks
We go our separate ways
If the night was made for love it ain't for keeps
But I lose control
As I watch you go
All my senses say I'm in this much too deep
Now you're outa reach
One night love affair
Tryin' to make like we don't care
We were both reachin' out for somethin'
One night love affair
Pretendin' we don't care
Oh - and now we're left with nothin'
One night love affair
Trying' to make like we don't care
We were both reachin' out for somethin'
One night love affair
Sometimes life ain't fair
Oh - and not we're left with nothin', nothin', yeah yeah
She admits it ain't no kinda life
She's only happy when she's dancin'
When Friday evenin' finally rolls around
Well it's a bitch tryin' to make ends meet
She's only happy when she's dancin'
She ain't got much but she got independence
She's only happy when she's dancin'
I'm gonna run to you
She's got a heart of gold she'd never let me down
I know her love is true
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you
Baby you're all that I want
Oh - once in your life you find someone
Baby you're all that I want
I've bin waitin' for so long
Baby you're all that I want
Now who can you turn to
I need somebody
When you're out on the front line
I thought I saw the Madonna
I need somebody
Another night another lesson learned
I need somebody
Me and some guys from school
Oh when I look back now
Ain't no use in complainin'
Standin' on your mama's porch
Back in the summer of '69
Man we were killin' time
And now the times are changin'
Standin' on your mama's porch
Back in the summer of '69
This computerized crap ain't gettin' me off
London to L.A.
Around the world or around the block
Get me my D.J.
Kick down the barricades
I've seen it all from the bottom to the top
Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
When your world has been shattered
And if your life ain't worth livin'
You can live without the aggravation
When your world is shattered
If your life ain't worth livin'
Ya it ain't easy baby
Now she's gone
She's long, long, long, long gone
Operator get me Manhatten - get my baby on the line
Now she's gone
She's long, long, long, long gone
She took the Frigidaire
It's like a legal crime
I ain't gonna cry over you
You said you'd wait forever
I ain't gonna cry over you
I ain't gonna cry over you
I ain't your kinda guy
I ain't gonna cry over you
She's Only Happy When She's Dancin'
Monday mornin' - it's time to get up
Two cups of coffee and she runs for the bus
Looks in the window and fixes her hair
Nobody notices and nobody cares
Workin' 9 to 5 you know...
There ain't no place she'd rather be
When she's dancin'
Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies
She grabs a taxi and she heads uptown
Goes to a place they call "The Ball And Chain"
Nothin' matters until Monday so she goes insane
But that's the way the story goes
There ain't nothin' makes her feel so free
When she's dancin'
The girl's outrageous and it's plain to see
Yeah - she's doin' alright
His eyes are on her as the evenin's endin'
But she ain't goin' for no mystery
Because nobody rides for free
Dancin' - there ain't no place she'd rather be
When she's dancin'
Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies - dancin'
Run To You
She says her love for me could never die
But that'd change if she ever found out about you and I
Oh - but her love is cold
It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know, 'cause...
When it gets too much
I need to feel your touch
I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night
I'm gonna run to you
But you're the one that always turns me on
You keep me comin' 'round
But it's so damn easy makin' love to you
I got my mind made up
I need to feel your touch
Yeah - I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna stay all night
Yeah - I'm gonna run to you
Oh when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night
I'm gonna run to you
Heaven
Oh - thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Yeah - nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
For somethin' to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Yeah - I'll be standin' there by you
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Somebody
I bin lookin' for someone
Between the fire and the flame
We're all lookin' for somethin'
To ease the pain
When it's all black and white
And the winners are losers
You see it every night
Somebody like you!
Everybody needs somebody
I need somebody
Hey what about you?
Everybody needs somebody
And you're watchin' them fall
It doesn't take long to realize
It ain't worth fightin' for
When you walked in the room
Well your eyes were like diamonds
And they cut right through - oh they cut right through
Somebody like you!
Everybody needs somebody
I need somebody
Hey what about you?
We all need somebody
It's the distance keeps us sane
But when the silence leads to sorrow
We do it all again - all again
Somebody like you!
Everybody needs somebody
Oh yeah...
I need somebody
Hey what about you?
We all need somebody
Summer of '69
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Kids Wanna Rock
Turned on the radio
Sounded like a disco
Musta turned the dial for a couple of miles
But I couldn't find no rock 'n roll
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
Talkin' 'bout the New Wave
For a couple of bucks you get a weird haircut
And waste your life away
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
I got somethin' he's gotta play
Wanna hear it I can't wait
So turn it up, turn it up...
Listen what the kids say
From time to time people change their minds
But the music is here to stay
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
It's only Love
Bryan Adams and Tina Turner
When the feelin' is ended
There ain't no use pretendin'
Don't ya worry
It's only love
Ain't nothin' else matters
It ain't over
It's only love
And that's all - ya
It ain't easy
But it's only love
And you're ready to give in
Just remember
That it's only love
Ya gotta wanna win - ya gotta wanna win
You keep lookin' back in desperation
Over and over and over again
Ain't nothin' else matters
It ain't over,
It's only love
And you're ready to give in
Just remember
That it's only love
Ya - that's all
But it's only love
And that's all
Long Gone
The telephone's bin ringin' - ringin' off the wall
It's your Las Vegas lawyer - another long distance call
He says you get the house and the car
And I get the clothes I got on
Long, long, long, long gone
Now I'm a happy boy
Sooner or later she's gotta realize
That all my feelin's were for real
But maybe she was leadin' me on
Long, long, long, long gone
Now I'm a happy boy
She got my favorite chair
You could say she got the best of me
But in a matter of time
She'll be back for the rest of me
Ain't Gonna Cry
Well I hardly knew ya baby
And you were comin' on
Mama told me there'd be days like these
I shoulda known better maybe
Woulda seen right through ya
I needed you like a disease
You're a mystery
I ain't gonna cry over you
You're history - history
But I know your type
The lights are on but no-one's home
I changed my number maybe
You better change your mind
Cause I'd rather spend the night alone
You're a mystery
I ain't gonna cry over you
You're history - history
You're a misery
I ain't gonna cry over you
You're history
So forget about me
Cause I ain't too shy to say what I'm thinkin' - hit it
I got reckless baby
Put you in your place
Next time maybe re-arrange your face
You're a mystery
I ain't gonna cry over you
You're history - history
