BIG MISTAKE (PETER CETERA)
Keeps them all waiting, they're standing in line.
He never has to worry about being alone,
he's taking his own sweet time.
The man's mighty hot, believe it or not,
every woman's after what the big boy's got.
They know it's all a lie, but they're taking their shot.
He is such a smooth-talking man, they never want to let him go.
He'll be gone when the morning comes,
then they'll be the first to know.
It's just a big mistake, such...Well, it won't be the first,
it definitely won't be the last one you make...
...Sooner or later, they're gonna find out,
he never cares about the hearts he's breaking tonight.
He's letting it all hang out, the man's mighty tough,
better leave before it starts to get too rough...
...Well, it won't be the first...
...You might think you oughta call him "Mr. Right".
Baby, you might get a big surprise tonight...
...In the morning, when you find him gone...
...You know you've been lied to...when you know you're wrong...
...There's no one to cry to...when you find him gone...
...when you're so alone...you'll be so alone...

THEY DON´T MAKE ´EM LIKE THEY USED TO (PETER CETERA)
It´s every young boy´s fancy,
it´s there hidden deep in the heart of a man.
It´s just a feeling, they won´t ever understand,
they know they gotta have one:
a brand new model, and it´s here today,
and don´t you know that she´s made right here in the U.S.A.?
Don´t ever stop trying, don´t let her get away,
they don´t make ´em like they used to,
I think they´re better than before,
it´s more than physical attraction, keeps you coming back for more.
She´s a home grown beauty,
she´s born and raised with a mind of her own,
and once you find her, you´ll never want to leave her alone.
She´s making you crazy, you can´t live without her,
she´s here to stay...that she lives right here in the U.S.A...?
...They´re so much better than before.
I´m so tired of hearing
-I´m so tired
Some people say
-what people say
Everything is moving much too fast.
Things were better in the good old days
Let them have their opinions
-let them have
Never gonna change their mind
-they´ll never change
They lived a long time ago, when times were tough,
and a real good woman was hard to find...

GLORY OF LOVE (PETER CETERA)
Tonight, it´s very clear, as we´re both lying here,
there´s so many things I want to say:
"I will always love you", "I would never leave you alone".
Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret,
it breaks my heart to see you crying.
"I don´t wanna lose you", "I could never make it alone",
I am a man who will fight for your honor,
I´ll be the hero you´re dreaming of, we´ll live forever,
knowing together that we did it all for the glory of love.
You´ll keep me standing tall, you´ll help me through it all,
I´m always strong when you´re beside me,
I have always needed you...
...Just like a knight in shining armor, from a long time ago,
just in time, I will save the day, take you to my castle far away...
...We´re gonna live forever...We did it all for love...

QUEEN OF THE MASQUERADE BALL (PETER CETERA)
She lays her cards out on the table,
she always gets what she´s going for and a whole lot more,
got the movers and the shakers quaking inside their mohair shoes.
After all, there´s nothing to lose.
Cracking that whip, making her own decisions, taking no lip,
living with no conditions.
There´s only one thing that she´s missing,
she never tells anybody, she´s missing it more and more each night,
and though she cries when she´s alone,
by the morning, she´s ready to go, she´s got the light...
...Everything´s fine, just as long as they do it her way,
living with style, she´s got it all,
hail to the queen of the masquerade ball...!

DADDY´S GIRL (PETER CETERA)
When the sun goes down and it´s getting late,
you say it´s time for bed, she just takes her time,
acting like she never heard a word you said,
little baby, wanna hold you tight,
she don´t ever wanna say: "good night".
She´s a lover, she wanna be Daddy´s Girl.
When the morning comes, and it´s time to go start another day,
she won´t let you leave,
and she does her best to try to make you stay.
Pretty baby, gonna start to cry...
...She don´t ever wanna be without you,
never have to worry, she won´t doubt you.
Then she puts her head upon your shoulder,
says she marry you when she get older.
When the time has come, and she´s old enough, to be on her own.
She won´t understand why you´re feelin´ sad,
´Cause she´s leaving you all alone.
Little woman, gonna make you cry. You...
...She´s a lady, she´ll always be Daddy´s Girl...
...gonna break your heart, gonna miss her when you´re both apart.
She´s a lady, but...

WAKE UP TO LOVE (PETER CETERA)
Hey, baby, you´ve got nothing to lose, now´s the time to slip away.
Oh, woman, can´t you see I really want you here with me?
Hey Mama, I can make you forget what you ever saw in him.
Don´t understand why you wanna be with that man!
The time is right, so take it from me,
you´ll find out when we´re alone good lovin´ follows good company,
there´s no tellin´ what I´ll do, when I get next to you.
Hey baby, if you look in my eyes, I won´t let you get away.
Oh, woman, don´t you see I´d rather have you...?
...don´t you tell me good night! Where´s your curiosity...?
...I can´t explain, hope you feel the same, wanna wake up to love.
I know it´s true, can´t get over you...
...The night is still young, we´ve got nothing but time.
All alone, in our own paradise...I just want to feel it, too...

SOLITUDE/SOLITAIRE (PETER CETERA)
Lying here, thinking of a place to hide, I´ve got to get away.
There are times like this, when I´m better off by myself.
Stuck in a corner, nothing more to lose, I´m a goner.
I´m just chained by thoughts, surrounded by walls,
and they´re closing in around me...
...waiting for the chance to run, I need to isolate...
...when I´d rather be left alone.
Caught in a panic, trying not to look like a manic.
Got to move, got to go, got to get out of here,
leave this all behind me.
Solitude, Solitaire, no one will ever find me there...
...Won´t you give me some bread, give me some water...?
...Got to find peace of mind, clear the air.
Mass confusion, leaving me with no solution.
If you find I´m asleep, better leave me alone,
I´ll wake up when it´s over...

ONLY LOVE KNOWS WHY (PETER CETERA)
One more sad tomorrow and I´m not very good at hiding my sorrow.
It´s not the same without you, so alone and so afraid.
I thought we had it made, what about us? what about the way?
We were so in love, when we were together,
I thought you´d never leave.
Now, I know this time you´re gone forever,
only love can break your heart, fill you with desire
and tear you all apart...
...can make you cry...knows why, one more night without you,
I´m just trying to pretend that you´re coming back again.
You know I never meant to doubt you, oh, no!
We were young and we were free.
Now, I can´t believe this has happened to me...
...Gonna be a long hard road without you,
and there´s one thing you should know:
Tell me, who will I turn to when I get in trouble?
I really don´t want you to go, no!
Tell me, who can I turn to...?
Baby, please, don´t leave me, can´t you see? you must believe me...!
...And tear you down, the minute that you fall apart...
