  • The Best of Me
    
    Sometimes words are hard to find
    I'm looking for that perfect line
    To let you know you're always on my mind
    Ya this is love - n' I've learned enough to know
    I'm never lettin' go
    No, no, no - won't let go
    
    When you want it - when you need it
    You'll always have the best of me
    I can't help it - believe it
    You'll always get the best of me
    
    I may not always know what's right
    But I know I want you here tonight
    Gonna make this moment last for all your life
    oh ya this is love - n' it really means so much
    I can tell from every touch
    No, no, no - can't get enough
    
    When you want it - when you need it
    You'll always have the best of me
    I can't help it - believe it
    You'll always get the best of me
    
    [Solo]
    
    Ya this is love
    And I've learned enough to know
    I'm never letting go
    No, no, no - won't let go
    
    When you want it - when you need it
    You'll always have the best of me
    I can't help it - believe it
    You'll always have the best of me - yeah!
    
    When you want it - when you need it
    You'll always get the best of me
    I can't help it - believe it
    You'll always get the best of me
    
    You've got the best of me

    Can't Stop This Thing We Started
    
    You might stop a hurricane
    Might even stop the drivin' rain
    You might have a dozen other guys
    But if you wanna stop me baby - don't even try
    I'm goin' one way - your way
    It's such a strong way - let's make it our way
    
    Can't stop this thing we started
    You gotta know it's right
    Can't stop this course we've plotted
    This thing called love we got it
    No place for the brokenhearted
    Can't stop this thing we started - no way
    I'm goin' your way!
    You might stop the world spinnin' round
    Might even walk on holy ground
    I ain't Superman and I can't fly
    But if you wanna stop me baby - don't even try
    I'm goin' one way - your way
    It's such a strong way - let's make it our way
    
    Can't stop this thing we started
    You gotta know it's right
    Can't stop this course we've plotted
    This thing called love we got it
    No place for the brokenhearted
    Can't stop this thing we started - no way
    I'm goin' your way!
    
    Oh - why take it slow
    I gotta know 
    Nothing can stop this thing that we got

    I'm Ready
    
    I'd like to see you, thought I'd let you know 
    I wanna be with you everyday 
    Cause I've got a feeling that beginning to grow 
    And there's only one thing I wanna say 
    
    I'm ready - to love you 
    I'm ready - to hold you 
    I'm ready - I'm ready 
    Ready as I'm gonna be 
    
    She left me a long note when she left me here 
    Told me that love was hard to find 
    But baby it's easy and I'll make it clear 
    That there's only one thing on my mind 
    
    I'm ready - to love you 
    I'm reday - to hold you 
    I'm ready - I'm ready 
    Ready as I'm gonna be

    Summer of '69
    
    I got my first real six string
    Bought it at the five and dime
    Played it till my fingers bled
    Was the summer of '69
    
    Me and some guys from school
    Had a band and we tried real hard
    Jimmy quit and Jody got married
    I shoulda known we'd never get far
    
    But when I look back now
    That summer seemed to last forever
    And if I had the choice
    Ya - I'd always wanna be there
    Those were the best days of my life
    
    Ain't no use in complainin'
    When you got a job to do
    Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
    And that's when I met you - ya
    
    Standin' on your mama's porch
    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
    
    Back in the summer of '69
    
    Man we were killin' time
    We were young and restless
    We needed to unwind
    I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no...
    
    And now the times are changin'
    Look at everything that's come and gone
    Sometimes when I play that old six string
    I think about ya'n wonder what went wrong
    
    Standin' on your mama's porch
    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
    Back in the summer of '69

    Let's Make a Night to Remember
    
    I love the way ya look tonight 
    With your hair hangin' down on your shoulders 
    N' I love the way ya dance your slow sweet tango 
    The way ya wanna do everything but talk 
    And how ya stare at me with those undress me eyes
    Your breath on my body makes me warm inside 
    
    Let's make out - let's do something amazing 
    Let's do something that's all the way 
    Cuz I've never touched somebody like the way I touch 
    your body 
    Now I never want to let your body go...
    
    Let's make a night - to remember 
    From January - to December 
    Let's make love - to excite us 
    A memory - to ignite us 
    Let's make honey baby - soft and tender
    Let's make sugar darlin' - sweet surrender 
    Let's make a night - to remember - all life long 
    
    I love the way ya move tonight 
    Beads of sweat drippin' down your skin
    Me lying here - n' you lyin' there 
    Our shadows on the wall and our hands everywhere 
    
    Let's make out - let's do something amazing 
    Let's do something that's all the way 
    Cuz I've never touched somebody like the way I touch
    your body 
    Now I never want to let your body go...
    
    Let's make a night - to remember 
    From January - to December 
    Let's make love - to excite us 
    A memory - to ignite us

    Cuz I've never touched somebody like the way I touch
    your body 
    Now I never want to let your body go...

    All for Love
    
    When it's love you give 
    I'll be a man of good faith. 
    then in love you live. 
    I'll make a stand. I won't break.
    I'll be the rock you can build on, 
    be there when you're old,
    to have and to hold. 
    When there's love inside 
    I swear I'll always be strong.
    then there's a reason why. 
    I'll prove to you we belong. 
    I'll be the wal that protects you 
    from the wind and the rain, 
    from the hurt and pain. 
    
    Let's make it all for one and all for love. 
    Let the one you hold be the one you want, 
    the one you need, 
    'cause when it's all for onee it's one for all.
    When there's someone that should know 
    then just let your feelings show 
    and make it all for one and all for love. 
    
    When it's love you make 
    I'll be the fire in your night. 
    then it's love you take. 
    I will defend, I will fight. 
    I'll be there when you need me.
    When honor's at stake, 
    this vow I will make: 
    
    that it's all for one and all for love. 
    Let the one be the one you want, 
    the one you need, 
    'cause when it's all for one it's one for all.
    When there's someone that should know 
    then just let your feelings show 
    and make it all for one and all for love.
    
    Don't lay our love to rest 
    'cause we could stand up to you test.
    We got everything and more than we had planned, 
    more than the rivers that run the land. 
    We've got it all in our hands. 
    
    Now it's all for one and all for love.
    It's all for love. 
    Let the one you hold be the one you want, 
    the one you need, 
    'cause when it's all for one it's one for all.
    It's one for all. 
    When there's someone that should know 
    then just let your feelings show. 
    When there's someone that you want,
    when there's someone that you need 
    let's make it all, all for one and all for love.

    Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?
    
    To really love a woman,
    To understand her,
    You've got to know her deep inside
    Hear every thought,
    See every dream,
    And give her wings when she wants to fly
    Then when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms,
    You know you really love a woman
    
    CHORUS:
    
    When you love a woman,
    You tell her that she's really wanted
    When you love a woman,
    You tell her that she's the one
    She needs somebody, to tell her that it's gonna last forever
    {2nd}(She needs somebody, to tell her that you'll always be together)
    So tell me have you ever really...really, really ever loved a woman
    
    2nd VERSE
    
    To really love a woman,
    Let her hold you,
    Till you know how she needs to be touched
    You've got to breathe her, really taste her
    Till you can feel her in your blood
    And when you see your unborn children in her eyes
    You know you really love a woman
    
    BRIDGE:
    
    You've got to give her some faith,
    Hold her tight, a little tenderness
    You've got to treat her right
    She will be there for you taking good care of you
    You really gotta love your woman
    
    And when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms,
    You know you really love a woman
    
    CHORUS

    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 
    I'm gonna run to you 
    Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night 
    I'm gonna run to you 
    She's got a heart of gold she'd never let me down 
    But you're the one that always turns me on 
    You keep me comin' 'round 
    
    I know her love is true 
    But it's so damn easy makin' love to you 
    
    I got my mind made up 
    I need to feel your touch 
    
    I'm gonna run to you 
    Ya - I'm gonna run to you 
    Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna stay all night 
    
    I'm gonna run to you 
    Ya - I'm gonna run to you 
    Oh when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night 
    I'm gonna run to you

    (Everything I Do) I Do It for You
    
    Look into my eyes - you will see
    What you mean to me
    Search your heart - search your soul
    And when you finally there you will search no more
    Don�t tell me it�s not worth tryin� for
    You can�t tell me it�s not worth dyin� for
    You know it�s true
    Everything I do - I do it for you
    
    Look into my heart - you will find
    There�s nothin� there to hide
    Take me as I am - take my life
    I would give it all I would sacrifice
    Don�t tell me it�s not worth fightin� for
    I can�t help it there�s nothin� I want more
    Ya know it�s true
    Everything I do - I do it for you
    
    There�s no love - like you love
    And no other - could give more love
    There�s nowhere - unless you�re there
    All the time - all the way
    Don�t tell me it�s not worth tryin� for
    I can�t help it there�s nothin� I want more
    I would fight for you - I�d lie for you
    Walk the wire for you - Ya I�d die for you
    
    Ya know it�s true
    Everything I do - I do it for you

    Back to You
    
    I've been down - I've been beat
    I've been so tired-that I could not speak
    I've been so lost thatt I could not see
    I wanted things that were out of reach
    then I found you and you helped me through
    and ya showed me what to do
    And that's why I'm comin' back to you...
    
    [Chorus:]
    Like a star that guides a ship across the ocean
    that's how your love will take me home back to you
    And if I wish upon that star - someday I'll be where you are 
    I know that day is coming soon - ya, I'm coming back to you.
    You've been alone, but ya did not show it
    You've been in pain, but did not know it
    Let me do what I needed to - you were there when I needed you
    Mighta let you down, mighta messed you round
    but ya never changed your point of view
    and that's why I'm comin' back to you...
    
    [Repeat Chorus]
    
    I'm coming back to you
    I'm coming back to you
    I'm coming back to you
    That day is coming soon

    When You Are Gone
    
    I've been wandering around the house all night
    Wondering what the hell to do
    I'm trying to concentrate but all I can think of is you
    Well the phone don't ring cuz my friends ain't home
    I'm tired of being all alone
    Got the TV on cuz the radio's playing songs
    that remind me of you
    
    Baby when you're gone
    I realize I'm in love
    The days go on and on
    And the nights just seem so long
    Even food don't taste that good 
    Drink ain't doing what it should
    Things just feel so wrong - baby when you're gone
    
    I've been driving up and down these streets
    Trying to find somewhere to go
    Ya I'm lookin' for a familiar face but there's no one I know
    
    This is torture, this is pain
    It feels like I'm gonna go insane
    I hope you're coming back real soon
    Cuz I don't know what to do

    Please Forgive Me
    
    Still feels like our first night together
    Feels like the first kiss, it's gettin' better baby
    No one can better this...
    Still holdin' on, you're still the one
    First time our eyes met, same feelin' I get
    Only feels much stronger, wanna love ya longer
    You still turn the fire on...
    So if you're feelin' lonely don't
    you're the only one I ever want
    I only wanna make it good
    so if I love ya a little more than I should
    Please forgive me, I know not what I do...
    ...I can't stop lovin' you
    Don't deny me this pain I'm going through...
    ...if I need ya like I do
    Please believe me every word I say is true...
    ...our best times are together...
    ...touch, still gettin' closer baby
    Can't get close enough...
    Still holdin' on, still number one
    I remember the smell of your skin...everything
    ...all your moves...you, yeah!
    ...the nights ya know I still do...
    ...One thing I'm sure of is the way we make love
    And one thing I depend on is for us to stay strong
    With every word and every breath I'm prayin'
    That's why I'm sayin'...
    ...Never leave me I don't know what I'd do...

    The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me is You
    
    I don't look good in no Armani Suits 
    No Gucci shoes - or designer boots 
    I've tried the latest lines from A to Z 
    But there's just one thing that looks good on me 
    
    The only thing I want 
    The only thing I need 
    The only thing I choose 
    The only thing that looks good on me...is you 
    
    I'm not satisfied with Versace style 
    Put those patent leather pants - in the circular file 
    Sometimes I think - I might be lookin' good 
    But there's only one thing that fits me like it should 
    
    The only thing I want 
    The only thing I need 
    The only thing I choose 
    The only thing that looks good on me...is you 
    
    Ya it's you - it could only be you 
    Nobody else will ever do 
    Ya baby it's you - that I stick to 
    Ya we stick like glue 
    
    The only thing I want 
    The only thing I need 
    The only thing I choose 
    The only thing that looks good on me...is you

    Inside Out
    
    the biggest lie you ever told - your deepest fear 'bout
    growin' old
    the longest night you ever spent - the angriest letter you
    never sent
    the boy you swore you'd never leave - the one you kissed on
    new years's eve
    the sweetest dream you had last night -- your darkest hour,
    your hardest fight
    
    i wanna know you - like i know myself
    i'm waitin' for you - there ain't no one else
    talk to me baby - scream and shout
    i want to know you - inside out
    i wanna dig down deep - i wanna lose some sleep
    i wanna scream and shout - i wanna know you inside out
    i wanna take my time - i wanna know your mind
    ya know there ain't no doubt - i wanna know you inside out
    
    the saddest song you ever heard - the most you said with
    just one word
    the loneliest prayer you ever prayed - the truest vow you
    ever made
    what makes you laught, what makes you cry
    what makes you mad, what gets you by
    you highest hight, your lowest low - these things I want to
    know
    
    i wanna know you - like i know myself
    i'm waitin' for you - there ain't no one else
    talk to me baby - scream and shout
    i want to know you - inside out
    i wanna dig down deep - i wanna lose some sleep
    i wanna scream and shout - i wanna know you inside out
    i wanna take my time - i wanna know your mind
    ya know there ain't no doubt - i wanna know oyu inside out
    i wanna know your sould - i wanna lose control
    c'mon n' let it out - i wanna know you inside out
    ya gotta dig down deep - i wanna lose some slieep
    i wanna scream and shout - i wanna know oyu inside out
    tell me everything...
