well save ourselves a bottle i like the way we are i love what weve become how come the best ones are always taken
of california red when im in your arms i know ive found the one what i see when i see ya is love in the makin
well drink it on a tuesday i love your kiss me mouth and your static touch something about timin, something about fate
let it go straight to our heads its just the way you are that makes me feel so much gotta go with the feeling not a moment too waste

and well eat from good china no one could ever know what were like alone bring it on bring it on ya i was born ready
and make love on linen sheets rollin round like rain were a midnight storm im a son of a strong man im rock steady
just like theres no tomorrow like a river rising i feel it thru your skin everything you throw i can see it coming
no surrender, no retreat when were together i never want it to end aint gonna be no TKO just a lot of lovin

i can feel it in my bones i thought id seen everything til i saw you cuz opposites attract this way
and i know it in my heart i thought id been everywhere til id been with you if day is night and night is day
tomorrow may be rainin but tonight we have the stars i thought that everyone knew what i knew if loving you is wrong then babe wrong is right
we may always be together i thought id seen everything til i saw you and i aint losin the ght
or miles and miles apart
tomorrow may be rainin but tonight we have the stars i like the way we are like a raging re take it on, take it on, take it on no second guessing
burning up the night, burning with desire dressin up a situation we should be undressing
we were young and we were foolish youre such a sweet temptation you know i cant resist hear the bell ringing seconds out round two
we were easy to deceive electricity, every time we kiss i got my eyes on the prize, and the prize is you
said wed be in love forever
and it was easy to believe

we found our strength we found our way at last you always say the things i can believe in its funny what goes through your mind
we found tomorrow by building on our past always say the things i wanna hear when you think of times you spent together
we paid our dues we stick together come whatever i believe them all the stories short and tall funny but when i think back why we broke up
i believe you, ya i believe you the reasons seem so small
were still standin didnt fall to pieces one day shes with me everythings ne
never lost our reason never stopped believin you give me love sayin somethin sounded like i love you
when love is all i need to live the next week i see her walkin down the street
we found our wings and now we y above the wind you gave your word, when words were just superlative with someone else
you and me - we found what were looking for when i was blind, you came and opened up my eyes probably sayin the same thing
now i feel i can believe in anything its doin my brain in...
we gave it all gave our very best you taught me how to y on broken wings
with every fall we withstood the test i got nothin goin nowhere
we broke the rules you always do the things i can depend on tired of under achieving
had to do it to get thru it youre always there every night and day i keep searchin nothins workin
everytime ive fallen down youve always been around its not enough just to be breathin
we found our wings together we found everything to lift me up again i need somethin to believe in
you and me we found what were looking for to set me straight again
you made me shine picked me up when i fell behind its funny what goes on in your head
with you i never need to search no more sometimes i nd myself on my own when you think about the way things come together
and cant nd the road that leads me back home but now i think back why things had to change
were still standin didnt fall to pieces but you made believe i can do anything the reasons seem so small
never lost our reason never stopped believin even y on broken wings cruel twist of fate keepin me awake
ah never stopped believin when i need to sleep to take away the hurtin
but now i got time on my hands tryin to understand
we found our wings and together we found everything but there aint no explainin

just when i thought i had it gured out shes got a way of getting inside your soul
just when i thought i had the answers shed breach the walls of jericho
you came along so full of promises make you fall like virgin snow
full of grace and second chances shes got a smile, makes you forget the things
you were only just thinking about
for awhile i tried to shut it out it kind of turns me inside out
for awhile i tried to ght it and if i try to conceal, shes got a way to reveal
but now i see that there just aint no use
there aint no reason to deny it i feel so naked i feel so totally exposed
oh ya just never know, no you dont its such a mystery, how she seems to know, every part of me
i feel so shaken and its like everybody knows
the world is full of mysteries whenever she touches me, no one else can feel, as much as me
full of magic and of wonder ya shes got a way
theres so much more than what we see
cant explain the spell im under shes got a way of taming the wild in me
everytime i look upon your face with patience and serenity
im constantly amazed im drowning in her revery
and love moves through my days and i cant run away shes got a way to make me stay
in mysterious ways
she comes to me like rain falls down my window
they say the heart is shaped just like a st sure as night will follow day ill surrender
holding in its feelings ya shes got a way
i say the heart is like an open hand
holding out and healing
oh wherever you go dont ya know

she was the girl in the very front row
always waitin after the show i heard that youre leaVin this sleepy little town
she was the queen of the hollywood hills the bright lights must have caught your eye cuz
knew the stars, the bars, the pimps and pills you aint hangin round
somebodys climbin on a greyhound tonight ya know people been talkin
too much lipstick and her dress real tight they say youre makin a mistake
looks like a woman but she aint quite gotta get on that greyhound and forget
no, not quite about what they say

shes somebodys baby just walk on by walk on by


shes somebodys mothers child dont look over your shoulder keep your head up high
she may look like a lady just walk on by
but shes just a ower grown wild
ive heard bad things about the city
they never knew you by your childhood name and im told that theyre true
but they were drawn to you like moths to a ame better watch out for those guys out there theyre gonna hit on you
nobody saw the tears in your silk n lace so dont talk to no strangers no it aint your style
or the scarred little kid behind your face dont give up when the chips are down
just remember when you hold her tight just turn around and smile
what youre holding in your arms tonight
shes no angel, but thats alright just walk on by walk on by
ya thats alright dont look over your shoulder keep your head up high
just walk on by ya walk on
shes somebodys baby
shes somebodys mothers child youre old enough to know why
she may look like a lady youre old enough to know why
but shes a ower grown wild
now youre standing at the station
just another little pretty thing got a ticket in your hand
another angel with a broken wing guess you got youre mind made up walk on by walk on by
who fell to earth neath the hollywood hills gotta get out while you can youre a little bit lonely youre a little bit shy
amid the stars and the bars, the pimps and pills dont say i never told ya just walk on by
just like the girl on the movie screen now the rest is up to you
she played it up until the very last scene those streets can be like a battleeld walk on by walk on by
the picture faded and the day was done when its hard to make it thru... dont look over your shoulder keep your head up high
went home to nothin but a loaded gun just walk on by walk on by just walk on by
dont look over your shoulder
somebodys climbing on a greyhound tonight keep your head up high walk on by walk on by
a little angel yin out of sight just walk on by youre a little bit lonely youre a little bit shy
looks like a woman but she aint quite just walk on by
no, not quite
