(Watch out!) Love is going to get you,
(Watch out!) You can’t escape I’ll bet you,
(Watch out!) ‘Cause this is how love got to me!
There I was just minding my own business, Wasn’t bothering anyone,
Then Cupid came along that day and shot me down.
Now I’m just another happy guy who, Walks around all day in bliss,
Always with a smiling face instead of a frown.
(Watch Out!) ‘Cause love is going to get you.
(Watch out!) You can’t escape I’ll bet you,
(Watch out!) ‘Cause this is how love got to me
(Repeat Chorus)
Even if you try to get away now,
Let this be a lesson for you, friend.
Save yourself and take the easy way out!
It’s no good to fight it in the end. (So here’s what I am saying)
Just relax and let this feeling grab you,
It’s no good to turn and run.
Why not try enjoying this thing that’s begun?
‘Cause everything looks so much brighter these days,
Here’s something that I must confess.
Count me as another guy who thinks it’s best.
To (Watch Out!) Love is going to get you.
(Watch out!) You can’t escape I’ll bet you,
(Watch out!) ‘Cause this is how love got to me!
(Watch Out!) Love is going to get you
(Watch out!) You can’t escape I’ll bet you,
(Watch out!) ‘Cause this is how love got to me!
(Watch out!) Cause love will win eventually.

Try A Little Bit Harder
03:19
|

|
Well, come over here, look me in the eye.
‘Cause I’ve had enough, of your telling lies.
Well, I’ve done my part, now it’s time for you,
To make your start, otherwise we’re through.
You’ve got to try - a little bit harder,
You’ve got to try - a little bit harder,
Maybe you should try - a little bit harder,
Cause if you do.
I’m telling you, Now...
That love’s hard enough, I’m sick of saying it’s so,
And we’ve come this far, that you ought to know,
You’ve got to try - a little bit harder,
You’ve got to try - a little bit harder,
Maybe you should try - a little bit harder,
And if you do, I’m telling you, Now…
Don’t make me say it if it isn’t true,
Why do I have to say it twice?
You seem to think the trouble isn’t you,
But lately you can be as cold as ice.
Well we’re at that place, should we stay or go?
Did we mean so much, or were we just for show?
If we can’t try - a little bit harder,
If we don’t try just a little bit harder,
Maybe we won’t try – a little bit harder,
Then it’s sad to say, this is the day, (x3) Now…

I don’t why you keep letting her hurt you,
It doesn’t seem all that smart,
It’s really not fair if she wants to desert you,
So don’t ever give her your heart.
Everyone laughs when you tell them the story,
Your tale of why you are apart,
They say it’s because you were never together,
So you shouldn’t have given your heart.
Guess you were fooling yourself I see now,
It really is not that hard.
How stupid were you to believe your own lies?
So don’t ever give her your heart.
You tried to act like she always has loved you,
Truth is you tried from the start.
And now it is clear she won’t even think of you,
So don’t ever give her your heart.
Guess you were fooling yourself I see now,
It really was not that hard
How foolish were you to believe your own lies?
So don’t ever give her your heart.
I guess it is over, you gave it your best shot,
And now it is time to depart,
I hope she finds love with that guy she’s been seeing,
So don’t ever give her your heart.

24 Hours A Day
02:54
|
|||
|
She starts dancing when she gets up every single morning
Her favorite record's on the player and she's always ready to play
She's got a smile that makes me melt and I swear she's really glowing
And that's why, that's why I love her 24 Hours a day (hours a day?)
When she walks down the street she's got a smile for e-ver-y body
When she stops in the shops, the kids always want her to stay
She's got a spring in her step and a pep that keeps me going
And that's why, that's why I love her 24 Hours a day (hours a day)
Well when she smiles she makes me happy
And she's happy all of the time
Every day when I wake, I always feel great
'Cause she's always on my mi---ind - Yeah!
I lean in for a kiss, I miss her mouth and she starts to giggle
I tell her that I'll love her till we're both old and gray
I wrap my arm a-round her waist and I see her toes start to wiggle
And that's why, that's why I love her 24 Hours a day (hours a day)
Well when she smiles she makes me happy
And she's happy all of the time
Every day when I wake, I always feel great
'Cause she's always on my mi---ind - Yeah!
She's always smiling when she's sleepin' and I know just what she's dreamin'
When she wakes up in the morning I know just what she's gonna say
She says she loves me and ya know, I know she really means it
And that's why, That's why I love her 24 Hours a day (hours a day)

It Makes Me Cry
03:39
|
|||
|
All over the world I can see the frustration; who’s running things?
Don’t seem to be doing better than most of us by ourselves,
Oh, and it makes me cry,
Oh, and it makes cry… for the world.
I see the story about the young girl who has made a wish,
See that it finally is happening for her, I tried to smile.
But oh, it made me cry,
Oh, and it makes me cry… for the girl.
Why don’t we just try to be our best?
With others better than the best,
And things would be much better now.
Little boy chooses the runt of the litter he understands.
Cause he has a physical weakness he knows that they both will share.
Oh, and it makes me cry,
Oh, and it makes me cry… for the boy.
Why don’t we just try to understand?
Each other let us make a stand,
And things would be much better now.
How do we know about bravery if there is no war to fight?
The hero has sacrificed everything he holds dear for our freedom.
Oh, and it makes me cry,
Oh, and it makes cry… for the world.

If You Feel It
02:43
|
|||
|
If you feel it, then believe it, that it’s out there, you can take it.
If you want it, you can see it, and don’t stop until you make it.
Some days a door may close for you, but a window opens too.
Take the good things with the bad and know it’s up to you.
If you feel it, then believe it, that it’s out there, you can take it.
If you want it, you can see it, and don’t stop until you make it.
In our lives some rain must flow, but that’s exactly how we grow.
Count the good things you receive and choose your way to go.
Feel it, make it
Want it, take it
See it, feel it
There’s no end in sight!
If you feel it, then believe it, that it’s out there, you can take it.
If you want it, you can see it, and don’t stop until you make it.
Take which ever dreams you choose, there is nothing you can lose.
There is time to change your fate and find what is in you.
Feel it, make it
Want it, take it
See it, feel it
There’s no end in sight!
If you feel it, then believe it, that it’s out there, you can take it.
If you want it, you can see it, and don’t stop until you make it.
If you feel it, then believe it, that it’s out there, you can take it.
If you want it, you can see it, and don’t stop until you make it.

Take My Blues Away
02:06
|
|||
|
I guess you’re wondering why,
I’m acting like there’s something wrong,
Well, it’s only because I’m here,
Singing a blues song.
Well, my life has been so empty,
Since you left that sad, sad day.
I hope you’ll come back and
Take my blues away.
Oh baby, I miss you
Missing you every day.
Oh baby, just to kiss you,
Would take my blues away.
Now, my life has been in shambles,
Since you left that cold, cold day,
I only hope you’ll come back,
And take my blues away.
Solo:
Oh Baby, I miss you,
Missing you every day.
Oh Baby, I need you,
Please take my blues away.
I guess you’re wondering why,
I’m acting like there’s something wrong,
Well, it’s only because I’m here,
Singing a blues song.
Yeah a Blues Song…..Yeah just a Blues Song.

The Dancer
03:16
|
|||
|
She moves like a wisp of smoke in the breeze as she glides across the floor.
I watch mesmerized as if I’m in a trance.
It wasn’t her first choice for work but she says she needed more.
She has a little one so she must dance.
Up down, turn around spinning like a merry-go-round.
Up down, turn around spinning like a merry-go-round.
How can I ask her to give this up when it’s something she now loves?
Especially if I offer nothing more.
After all I have no prospects, and I’m leaving town today.
I watch her as I head out of the door.
Up down, turn around spinning like a merry-go-round.
Up down, turn around spinning like a merry-go-round.
She’s a dancer, and it’s nothing she can hide.
She’s a dancer who lets no one inside.
There’s no answer, and there’s nothing I could do.
But let my tears fall on the dance floor too.
I’ve given it a lot of thought but there’s not a good way out.
Even though we both have said our last goodbyes.
We know it could be a big mistake to let each other go.
As I left I saw it in her eyes.
Up down, turn around spinning like a merry-go-round.
Up down, turn around spinning like a merry-go-round.
Up down, turn around spinning like a merry-go-round.
Up down, turn around spinning like a merry-go-round.

I know when you’re smiling, it means you’re not crying.
I feel what you’re feeling; our hearts beat as one.
And because you’re sleeping, I know what you’re dreaming.
So that when you’re waking, our hearts beat as one.
Oh, it’s true; yes, it’s you.
I know when you’re smiling, it can make my heart sing.
I feel what you’re feeling; our hearts beat as one, you know it’s true.
Oh, it’s true, I’m part of you.
When we talk this way, I know what you’re going to say.
I know what you’re thinking, before you start speaking,
I sense where you’re going, our hearts beat as one.
I love when you touch me. No one else could reach me.
I can’t live without you, our hearts beat as one.
Oh, it’s true; yes, it’s you.
I know when you’re smiling, it can make my heart sing.
I feel what you’re feeling; our hearts beat as one, you know it’s true.
Oh, it’s true, I’m part of you.
When we talk this way, I know what you’re going to say.
You feel what I am feeling. It’s a love worth stealing.
What we have is special, our hearts beat as one.
I know you complete me, no one else could reach me.
I’m so glad I found you, our hearts beat as one, you know
it’s true.

Thank You
02:28
|
|||
|
Well, thank you! You kicked me in the face,
Well, thank you! You made me a disgrace.
Well I knew, your were putting me down,
But you’re through, dragging me around.
Well, thank you! You put me in my place,
Well, thank you! You’ve taken every trace,
Of my pride, you took me for a fool,
And now I, am going to change the rules.
Cause I’ve heard it all before, And I don’t want to hear it again,
Especially from you, though it may all be true.
It took me by surprise when I realized,
That I’m not going to take it anymore!
Well, thank you! You pushed me into gear.
Well, thank you! You took away my fear.
And I’m through, with slinking all around,
I blame you, you made me act the clown.
Well, thank you! You kicked me in the face,
Well, thank you! You put me in my place,
Well I knew, it’s painful coming down,
But you’re through, dragging me around.
Your words cut like a knife, and you suck out all the life,
From everything fun; my change has just begun.
It took me by surprise when I realized,
That I’m not going to take it, anymore!
Well, thank you! You pushed me into gear.
Well, thank you! You took away my fear.
And I’m not going to take it anymore!

Using Me Up
03:17
|
|||
|
When we first met, I sold my soul, I lost my sanity,
And knowing that you would have thought I’d had enough.
But here I am again, I’m standing right outside your door.
You’re using me up.
Using me up.
Can’t stay away from you, it doesn’t matter what I try,
I don’t know what we call this thing, but it’s not love,
Just when I think I’m getting over you, right back I come,
You’re using me up.
Using me up.
Walking in a trance, I see your face, and it is not enough for me,
To take a chance, and leave you there.
So I’m here again, I can’t believe I’m giving up my life for you,
I am lost but I don‘t care.
The devil’s in my heart and really has a hold on me,
I wake up in a sweat and must pick up the phone,
A call to you and I am right back down here on my knees,
You’re using me up.
Using me up.
Walking in a trance, I see your face, and it is not enough for me,
To take a chance, and leave you there.
So I’m here again, I can’t believe I’m giving up my life for you,
I am lost and I don‘t care.
I’ve had some dark days but this has to be one of the worst,
Because I’m knocking and there isn’t someone home.
If I could quit you then there wouldn’t be a problem but,
You’re using me up.
Using me up.

Because You're Different
03:04

I guess you know you’re special.
Glad you’re not like everyone else.
You may feel you’re different,
I know ‘cause that’s just how I felt,
Yes, it’s true, I’m like you, I’m different too!
It’s because you’re different,
You have something special to share.
I see greatness in you.
Something that you take everywhere.
Yes, it’s true, we’re like you, we’re different too!
It’s because you’re different I see lots of possibilities,
You can make the world a better place.
Wouldn’t it be sad if we were all the same, that would be bad.
There would be no winners to embrace.
It’s because you’re different,
Glad you’re not like everyone else.
You may feel you’re different,
I know ‘cause that’s just how I felt,
Yes, it’s true, I’m like you, I’m different too!
It’s because you’re different I see lots of possibilities,
You can make the world a better place.
Wouldn’t it be sad if we were all the same, that would be bad.
There would be no winners to embrace.
I'm different too.
You're different too.
We're different too.
