Lyrics

1. CRAZY ON YOU

If we still have time, we might still get by
Every time I think about it, I wanna cry
With bombs and the devil, and the kids keep comin'
No way to breathe easy, no time to be young

[Chorus]:

But I tell myself that I was doin' all right
There's nothin' left to do at night
But to go crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh

My love is the evenin' breeze touchin' your skin
The gentle, sweet singin' of leaves in the wind
The whisper that calls after you in the night
And kisses your ear in the early moonlight
And you don't need to wonder, you're doing fine
My love, the pleasure's mine

[Chorus]:

Let me go crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, ohhh

Wild man's world is cryin' in pain
What you gonna do when everybody's insane
So afraid of one who's so afraid of you
What you gonna do...ohhh...

(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

[Chorus]:

Ooooo...Crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you

I was a willow last night in my dream
I bent down over a clear running stream
Sang you the song that I heard up above
And you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love

[Chorus]:

Crazy
Yeah, crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh
Crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, yeah

[solo]

(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, ohhh...


2. ALL I WANNA DO IS MAKE LOVE TO YOU

It was a rainy night when he came into sight
Standing by the road, no umbrella, no coat
So I pulled up along side and I offered him a ride
He accepted with a smile so we drove for a while

I didn't ask him his name, this lonely boy in the rain
Fate tell me it's right, is this love at first sight
Please don't make it wrong, just stay for the night

[Chorus]:

All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will you want me too
All I wanna do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to

So we found this hotel, it was a place I knew well
We made magic that night. Oh, he did everything right
He brought the woman out of me, so many times, easily
And in the morning when he woke all I left him was a note
I told him I am the flower you are the seed
We walked in the garden we planted a tree
Don't try to find me, please don't you dare
Just live in my memory, you'll always be there

[Chorus]:

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to

Oh, oooh, we made love
Love like strangers
All night long
We made love

Then it happened one day, we came round the same way
You can imagine his surprise when he saw his own eyes
I said please, please understand
I'm in love with another man
And what he couldn't give me
was the one little thing that you can

[Chorus]:

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I want to do is make love to you
Come on, say you will, you want me too

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I want to do is make love to you
Say you will, you want me too

All night long ...


3. IF LOOKS COULD KILL

Caught you in the act can't put up with that
Messin' where you shouldn't be
I wanna hear you say you're sorry
Cause' nobody takes advantage of me
You're missin' the mark shootin' in the dark
I'm pullin' the wool from my eyes
Baby, don't push me further
It's gonna hurt you if it happens twice

[Chorus]:

If looks could kill
You'd be lyin' on the floor
You'd be beggin' me please please baby don't hurt me no more
If looks could kill
You'd be reelin' from the pain
And you'd never lie again
If looks could kill

Living on the edge hanging by a thread
I'm watching every move you make
You don't want to see my anger
So don't you make another mistake
Love is on the line I ain't about to be kind
That's a promise and a threat
If I was you, I'd really cool it
Or risk a night you'll never forget

[Chorus]:

If looks could kill
You'd be lyin' on the floor
You'd be beggin' me please please darling don't hurt me no more
If looks could kill
You'd be reelin' from the pain
And you'd never lie again- if looks could kill

[solo]

I was a fool to believe in you
A sucker for every line
I'm a little less blind than I was before
I can see right through your design

[Chorus]:

If looks could kill
You'd be lyin' on the floor
You'd be beggin' me please please baby don't hurt me no more

If looks could kill
You'd be reelin' from the pain
And you'd never lie again
If looks could kill
You'd be lyin' on the floor
You'd be beggin' me please please baby don't hurt me no more

If looks could kill
You'd be reelin' from the pain
And you'd never lie again
If looks could kill
If looks could kill

[solo]


4. NEVER

Hey baby I'm talking to you
Stop yourself and listen
Some things you can never choose
Even if you try yeah
You're bangin' your head again
Cause somebody won't let you in
One chance...one love
Your chance to let me know

[Chorus]:

We can't go on
Just running away
If we stay any longer
We will surely never get away
Anything you want - we can make it happen
Stand up and turn around
Never let them shoot us down
Never - Never
Never - Never run away

Hey baby you know it's true
Why you bother lying when you know
That you want it too
Don't you dare deny me
Walk those legs right over here
Give me what I'm dying for
One chance...one love
Hold me down never let me go

[Chorus]:

We can't go on
Just running away
If we wait any longer
We will surely never get away
Anything you want - we can make it happen
Stand up and turn around
Never let them shoot us down
Never - Never
Never - Never run away
Never - Never
Never - Never run away

Hey baby I'm talking to you
Stop yourself and listen
Some things you can never choose
Even if you try yeah
You're bangin' your head again
Cause somebody won't let you in
One chance...one love
Your chance to let me know

[Chorus]:

We can't go on
Just running away
If we stay any longer
We will surely never get away

OO OO Never
OO OO Never

We can't go on Never
We can't go on Never

OO OO Never
OO OO Never

We can't go on Never
We can't go on Never

OO OO Never
OO OO Never


5. ALONE

I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

[Chorus]:

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

You don't know how long I have wanted
to touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don't know how long I have waited
and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
and my love for you is still unknown
Alone

[Chorus]:

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

[solo]

How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

Alone, alone


6. WHO WILL YOU RUN TO

You're not sure what you want to do with your life
but you sure don't want me in it
Yeah you're sure the life you're living with me
can't go on one single minute
And there's a new one waiting outside this door
and now's the time to begin it
You found a new world and you want to taste it
But that world can turn cold and you better face it

[Chorus]:

Who will you run to when it all falls down
Who's gonna pick your world up off the ground
Who's gonna take away the tears you cry
Who's gonna love you baby as good as I

You won't know what it's like to live on your own
You've always had me there beside you
You think it's easy finding someone out there
who's gonna care as much as I do
What's gonna happen baby when you find out
that there's no one there to cry to
You can tell the whole world how you're gonna make it
You can follow your heart but what ya do when someone breaks it

[Chorus]:

Who will you run to when it all falls down
Who's gonna pick your world up off the ground
Who's gonna take away the tears you cry
Who's gonna love you baby as good as I

You found a new world and you want to taste it
But that world can turn cold and you better face it

[Chorus]:

Who will you run to when it all falls down
Who's gonna pick your world up off the ground
Who's gonna take away the tears you cry
Who's gonna love you baby as good as I

Who will you run to when it all falls down
Who's gonna pick your world up off the ground
Who's gonna take away the tears you cry
Who's gonna love you baby as good as I


7. STRAIGHT ON (Acoustic)

Quite some time...I been sittin' it out
Didn't take no chances...I was a prisoner of doubt
I knocked down the wailin' wall....it ain't no sin
I...got...the feel of fortune...deal me in....

[Chorus]:

I'm comin' straight on for you
You made my mind
Now I'm stronger...now I'm comin' through...
Straight on...straight on for you...
Straight on for you

Now, I know...I got to play my hand
What the winner don't know...the gambler understands …
My heart keeps playin' it through with you, my friend
I'll take my chances on you...
Again and again...again …

[Chorus]:

I'm comin' straight on for you
You made my mind
Now I'm stronger...now I'm comin' through...
Straight on...straight on for you...
Straight on for you

[solo]

[Chorus]:

I'm comin' straight on for you
You made my mind
Now I'm stronger...now I'm comin' through...
Straight on...straight on for you...
Straight on, straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you


I'm comin' straight on for you
You made my mind
Now I'm stronger...now I'm comin' through...
Straight on...straight on for you...
Straight on, straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you


8. MAGIC MAN

Cold, late night so long ago
when I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
I never seen eyes so blue
You know, I could not run away it seemed
we'd seen each other in a dream
Seemed like he knew me....he looked right through me....yeah

[Chorus]:

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"you don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile
But try to understand...try to understand
Try, try, try to understand.....I'm a magic man"

Winter nights we sang in tune
Played inside the months of moon
"Never think of never… let this spell last forever"
Well, summer lover passed to fall
tried to realize it all
Mama says she's worried… growing up in a hurry

[Chorus]:

"Come on home, girl" Mama cried on the phone
"Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home"
But try to understand....try to understand
Try, try, try to understand… he's a magic man, Mama...ah...he's a magic man
[solo]

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child"
But try to understand...try to understand..
Oh...oh....try, try, try to understand....
He's a magic man....oh....he's got the magic hands

[solo]

[Chorus]:

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile"
But try to understand....try to understand
Try, try, try to understand...he's a magic man.....yeah...oh......


9. WHAT ABOUT LOVE

I've been lonely
I've been waiting for you
I'm pretending and that's all I can do
The love I'm sending
Ain't making it through to your heart

You've been hiding - never letting it show
Always trying to keep it under control
You got it down and you're well
On your way to the top
But there's something that you forgot

[Chorus]:

What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you
You might need it some day

I can't tell you what you're feeling inside
And I can't sell you what you don't want to buy
Something's missing and you got to
Look back on your life
You know something here just ain't right

[Chorus]:

What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you

What about love
Don't you want someone to care about you
What about love
Don't let it slip away
What about love
I only want to share it with you


10. DREAMBOAT ANNIE

Heading out this morning into the sun
Riding on the diamond waves, little darlin' one

Warm wind caress her
Her lover it seems
Oh, annie
Dreamboat annie my little ship of dreams
Oh, annie
Dreamboat annie my little ship of dreams

Going down the city sidewalk alone in the crowd
No one knows the lonely one whose head's in the clouds

Sad faces painted over with those magazine smiles
Heading out to somewhere won't be back for a while
Won't be back for a while
Won't be back for a while


11. DOG AND BUTTERFLY (Live)

There I was with the old man
Stranded again so off I'd ran
A young world crashing around me
No possibilities of getting what I need
He looked at me and smiled
Said no, no, no, no, no child.

[Chorus]:

See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly
Below she had to try
She roll back down
To the warm soft ground laughing
She don't know why, she don't know why
Dog and butterfly

Well I stumbled upon your secret place
Safe in the trees you had tears on your face
Wrestling with your desires frozen strangers
Stealing your fires. the message hit my mind
Only words that I could find

[Chorus]:

See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground
Laughing to the sky, up to the sky
Dog and butterfly

We're getting older the world's getting colder
For the life of me I don't know the reason why
Maybe it's livin' making us give in
Hearts rolling in taken back on the tide
We're balanced together ocean upon the sky

Another night in this strange town
Moonlight holding me light as down
Voice of confusion inside of me
No begging to go back where I'm free
Feels like I'm through
Then the old man's words are true

[Chorus]:

See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly, below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft
Ground with a little tear in her eye
She had to try, she had to try
Dog and butterfly

See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly, below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft
Ground with a little tear in her eye
She had to try, she had to try
Dog and butterfly


12. NOTHIN' AT ALL

I would walk home every evening
Through the pyramids of light
I would feed myself on silence
Wash it down with empty nights

Then your innocent distraction
Hit me so hard
My emotional reaction
Caught me off guard

[Chorus]:

It was nothing at all
Like anything I had felt before
And it was nothing at all
Like I thought no, it's so much more
No one else has ever
Made me feel this way
When I asked you how you did it
You just say
It was nothing at all

Now I walk home every evening
And my feet are quick to move
Cause I know my destination
Is a warm and waiting you

From our first communication
If was clear
Any thought of moderation
Would soon disappear

[Chorus]:

It was nothing at all
Like anything I had felt before
And it was nothing at all
Like I thought - no, it's so much more
No one else has ever made me feel this way
When I ask you how you did it
You just say
Oh, it was nothing at all....


13. HEARTLESS

The doctor said "Come back again next week, I think that you need me."
All she did was cry
She wanted to die "Doctor when can you see me?"
There's a guy out there!
Seems like he's everywhere!
It just ain't fair!

[Chorus]:

Heartless Heartless! Never never out of control
Heartless Heartless! Sin in the name of rock and roll
Heartless Heartless! He thinks it's so cool to be cold
He never realize the way love dies when you crucify his soul

Late night in the penthouse room, the fire is burning
Shadows are warm, laying in his arms she answers his yearning
Her eyes are filled with sand

[Chorus]:

Heartless Heartless! Never never out of control
Heartless Heartless! Sin in the name of rock and roll
Heartless Heartless! He thinks it's so cool to be cold
He never realize the way love dies when you crucify his soul

[solo]

[Chorus]:

Heartless Heartless! Never never out of control
Heartless Heartless! Sin in the name of rock and roll
Heartless Heartless! He thinks it's so cool to be cold
He never realize the way love dies when you crucify his soul


14. STRANDED

Standing here helpless
Where do I go
If you leave me alone
Where do I turn now
If it don't work out
As far as I can see
This isn't the way
You said it would be

[Chorus]:

Don't leave me like this
Don't leave me stranded
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me like this
Don't leave me stranded
Don't leave me now

Wasn't it you who brought me here
To the place that lovers go
Just look at these arms
Reaching out to you
Said that you always care
I just turned around
And there's nobody there

[Chorus]:

Don't leave me like this
Don't leave me stranded
If you walk away now

Don't leave me like this
Don't leave me stranded
Don't leave me now

[solo]

Said that you'd always care
I just turned around
And there's nobody there

Don't leave me like this
Don't leave me stranded
If you walk away now

Don't leave me like this
Don't leave me stranded
Don't leave me like this
Don't leave me stranded

Don't leave me like this

Stranded
Don't leave me like this


15. WILL YOU BE THERE (IN THE MORNING)

I'm lying beside you just thinking about us
Too tired to go to sleep - and too much in love
I know I'm crazy but I can't close my eyes
I'm scared you won't be there in the morning when I rise

Will you be there ?
Who do you dream about ?
Are you alone in your sleep ?
To who will you reach out ?
Oh, let it be me
Oh baby you're my obsession, my addiction, my drug
Don't want to be without you when I wake up

[Chorus]:

Will you be there in the morning ?
Will you be there when I want you ?
Will you be there when I wake up ?
Oh I need you to be there in the morning

Will you be there ?
Well you're so close to me, but I feel so alone
The more that I touch you the more I want
Don't know what to do about me loving you
But I pray to God that you feel it too
You're my obsession, my addiction, my drug
So let the candle grow into a great fire of love

[Chorus]:

Will you be there in the morning ?
Will you be there when I want to ?
Will you be there when I wake up ?
I need you to be there in the morning

I wanna love you forever
Don't want a love that's now or never
Can't you see you got me down on the floor
I want more...more...

[Chorus]:

Will you be there in the morning ?
Will you be there when I want to ?
Will you be there when I wake up ?
Will you be there in the morning ?
Will you be there ?
Will you be there when I want to ?
Will you be there when I wake up ?
Will you be there in the morning
Will you be there when I want to ?
Will you be there when I wake up ?
Will you be there in the morning


16. THESE DREAMS

Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist

[Chorus]:

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

Is it cloak n dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips

[Chorus]:

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

There's something out there
I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there
I can't resist

The sweetest song is silence
That I've ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist

[Chorus]:

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away


17. BARRACUDA (Live)

So this ain't the end - I saw you again today
Had to turn my heart away
You smiled like the Sun - kisses for everyone
and tales - it never fails!

[Chorus]:

You lying so low in the weeds
Bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down on my knees
Wouldn't you, Barracuda?

Back over Time when we were all trying for free
Met up with porpoise and me
No right no wrong you're selling a Song - a name
whisper game

[Chorus]:

If the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn it out to the wick
aren't you, Barracuda?

"Sell me sell you" the porpoise said
Dive down deep to save my head
You... I think you got the blues too.

All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools -silly fools!

[solo]

[Chorus]:

If the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn it out to the wick
Aren't you, Barracuda?

[solo]
