1. Ain't complaining

There's nothing left, there's nothing right
There's nothing left, there's nothing right
There's nothing left, right left right
Up down up down up down up down

All right all right
You wind me up, you bring me down
Your reputation is all over the town
So long as you come home to me
I ain't complaining
You fool around, we scream and fight
The way you're treating me, you know it ain't right
But when you're making out with me
I ain't complaining

It ain't no use, you playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
and I'll come running to you

All right all right
You're out all night, you sleep all day
When I get home you're going out to play
Oh, woman give me some time and everything's fine
I ain't complaining

You just don't care, we're in a mess
And the company you keep ain't the best
But when you're lying there with me
I ain't complaining

It ain't no use, you playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
And I'll come running to you

But when the chips are down
A man can only take so much fooling around
And if you don't come home to me
I'll be complaining

All right
There's nothing left, there's nothing right
Our situation ain't looking too bright
'cause I have taken all I'm gonna take
Without complaining

It ain't no use playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
And I'll come running to you

But when the chips are down
A man can only take so much fooling around
And if I don't come home to you
You'll be complaining

All right all right all right all right
All right all right

2. Everytime I think of you

I wrote a letter
But I threw it away
I can't forget you
That's what I want to say
Anytime or place, just to see your face
Everytime I think of you
You know it makes me sad
That you feel this way
'cos I want you so bad
And it don't seem right
That you won't be here tonight
Everytime I think of you

Everytime I think of you
I wanna shout about it
But waiting's so hard when you live without love
Oh - oh, everytime I think of you

There's nothing left at all
Only a photograph
Hanging on my wall
It was my mistake, but it's my heart that aches
Everytime I think of you

Everytime I think of you
I wanna shout about it
But waiting's so hard when you live without love
Oh - oh, everytime I ...

I wrote a letter
Gotta let you know
That I still want you
And I just can't let go
And it still ain't right
That you won't be here tonight
Everytime I think of you

Everytime I think of you
I wanna shout about it
But waiting's so hard when you live without love
Oh - oh, everytime I think of you

Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you
Everytime I think of you

3. One for the money

I found myself with no-one I could turn to
The situation went from bad to worse
While I was out there taking care of business
Oh I was moving forward in reverse

I started out with every good intention
I wanted just to get back on my feet
The enemy will soon be gunning
It won't be long before I'm running
And I'll be calling for the fleet

I'm gonna move to the light
Gonna stand up and fight
I'm gonna show I was wrong
I'm gonna win back the right
Oh it wasn't for the wont of trying that I turned to the other
side
One for the money

I never made enough for what I needed
I thought that I could find an easy way
But I was wrong and now I'm running
It won't be long, and they'll be gunning for me
And everybody's closing in on me

I'm gonna move to the light
Gonna stand up and fight
I'm gonna show I was wrong
Gonna win back the right
Oh it wasn't for the wont of trying that I turned to the other
side
One for the money

I'm gonna move to the light
Gonna stand up and fight
I'm gonna show I was wrong
Gonna win back the right
Oh it wasn't for the wont of trying that I turned to the other
side
One for the money

One for the money, one for the money.....

4. Another shipwreck

I woke this morning in a different disguise and I was crying,
crying
You said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't
matter at all
I caught the mirror as I opened your letter, I was lying,
lying
I said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't
matter at all

Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again
Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again

Scared to lose you but knowing the magic, it was dying, dying
I said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't
matter at all
I hear you every day, I meet you at night, I see you crying,
crying
You say it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't
matter at all

Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again

Another shipwreck, another earthquake
Another shipwreck, I understand it's time to admit
Despite our endeavours
Cant find whatever we lost....

Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again

Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again
Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home
I may never see home
I may never see home again

I woke this morning in a different disguise
I cracked a mirror as I opened your letter
Scared to lose you but knowing the magic
I hear you every day I meet you at night
Another shipwreck.

5. Don't mind if I do

Don't mind if I do, don't mind if I
Don't care much at all, can't think that much
I'm climbing the walls, losing my touch
You don't give a damn

When you are out there on your own
Saying you can't find your way home
Do you think you know what is real?
And do you know what you want from me?
I'm being the best that I can be
Now I know nothing feels the same

Don't mind if I do, don't mind if I
Don't care much at all, can't think that much
I'm climbing the walls, losing my touch
I'm all in a jam
I don't lie to you, I don't need to
I won't cry for you, I don't feel to
Don't you cry to me, I've seen through you
You don't give a damn

Can I be honest with you now?
I'm feeling a fool again somehow
Maybe I should be moving on.

Don't mind if I do, don't mind if I
Don't care much at all, can't think that much
I'm climbing the walls, losing my touch
I'm all in a jam
I don't lie to you, I don't need to
I won't cry for you, I don't feel to
Don't you cry to me, I've seen through you
You don't give a damn

Take it or leave it seems to be
The only way open left for me
Should I be feeling how I feel?

Don't mind if I do, don't mind if I
Don't care much at all, can't think that much
I'm climbing the walls, losing my touch
I'm all in a jam
I don't lie to you, I don't need to
I won't cry for you, I don't feel to
Don't you cry to me, I've seen through you
You don't give a damn

6. I know you're laving

You say you're tired of this love affair
It brings you down close to despair
Our love has fallen apart at the seems
I was too taken, lived in a dream
All I want is to be around you
So I cry, yes it's all I can do

I know you're leaving but I can't understand
Why what we have must come to an end
Somebody tell me what can I do?
I know you're leaving but I still love you.

You used to hold me, hold me so strong
I never thought we could ever go wrong
Had no intention to fence you in
Give you affection was my only aim
I will learn not to be around you
So I'll cry, yes it's all I can do

I know you're leaving but I can't understand
Why what we have must come to an end
Somebody tell me what can I do?
I know you're leaving but I still love you.

It's an emptiness you leave behind
Broken memories and fate to remind me
What's been done can't be turned around
And hope has become misery

I know you're leaving but I can't understand
Why what we have must come to an end
Somebody tell me what can I do?
I know you're leaving but I ...

I know you're leaving but I can't understand
Why what we have must come to an end
Somebody tell me what can I do?
I know you're leaving but I still love you

I know you're leaving, this time it's goodbye
Baby but I still love you
I know you're leaving, this time it's goodbye
Baby but I still love you
I know you're leaving, this time it's goodbye
Baby but I still love you

7. Cross the bridge

I wasn't born in the lap of lux, I didn't have no silver
spoon
We all dream 'bout mega bucks like wishing for the moon.
They say money just buys you problems, bigger taxes, jealousy
Big decisions on what to do with it all, that's the kind of
problem I need.

I would cross that bridge when I come to it, when I come to it,
I wanna get
to it
Gonna cross that bridge when I come to it, may be just around
the bend.
Then I'm gonna burn that bridge other side of it, other side of
it, greener
side of it
Gonna burn that bridge other side of it, 'cos I never wanna go
back there.

I thought I'd been in love but it's a feeling I can't trust
'Cos nine times out of nine I find I've been head over heels in
lust
Married men say love's nothing but trouble like some kind of
terminal
disease
They say love's strange, love is blind, love hurts, well that's
the kind of
trouble I need.

I would cross that bridge when I come to it, when I come to it,
hope I get
to it
Gonna cross that bridge when I come to it, may be just around
the bend.
I said never, never, never, never, never
Never come back again, no, never come back again.

They say money can't buy you happiness, and that true love never
runs
smooth
They talk of the trouble and the strife they bring
Well I don't care, 'cos here's what I would do

I would cross that bridge when I come to it, when I come to it,
I wanna get
to it
Gonna cross that bridge when I come to it, may be just around
the bend.
Then I'm gonna burn that bridge other side of it, other side of
it, lovely
side of it
Gonna burn that bridge other side of it, 'cos I'd never wanna go
back
there.
I said never, never, never, never, never
Never come back again, no, never come back again.

8. Cream of the crop

I gotta get myself far, far away
I gotta tell myself that anyway
I can't forget the way that you used to be
Now all in all it seems so different to me
I said oh-oh Rosalee
Oh my Rosalee

Oh every time I see you I have to stop
And everybody says you are the cream of the crop
But if you're looking angry in any way
I don't believe I could stand in your way
My one and only carriage, it rolls along
My funny love affair has found a way to go on
I won't change for you, you haven't changed for me
I don't suppose you have an answer for me

I've been around this place for quite a time
I've been around just feeling really fine
I can't believe I feel like nothing today
Well I don't feel too much anyway
I said oh-oh Rosalee
Oh my Rosalee

Oh every time I see you I have to stop
And everybody says you are the cream of the crop
But if you're looking angry in any way
I don't believe I could stand in your way
My one and only carriage, it rolls along
My funny love affair has found a way to go on
I won't change for you, you haven't changed for me
I don't suppose you have an answer for me

Oh every time I see you I have to stop
And everybody says you are the cream of the crop
But if you're looking angry in any way
I don't believe I could stand in your way
My one and only carriage, it rolls along
My funny love affair has found a way to go on
I won't change for you, you haven't changed for me
I don't suppose you have an answer for me
My one and only carriage, it rolls along
My funny love affair has found a way to go on
I won't change for you, you haven't changed for me
I don't suppose you have an answer for me
My one and only carriage, it rolls along
My funny love affair has found a way to go on
I won't change for you, you haven't changed for me
I don't suppose you have an answer for me

9. The loving game

I wanna give you pleasure, don't wanna give you pain
I can feel this pressure running through my veins
And I'm ready, oh I'm ready to play the loving game

Ooh I start to shiver and my knees go weak
When I talk about ya I can hardly speak
And I'm ready, yeah I'm ready to play the loving game

I've been holding back, holding out for you
No-one makes me feel the way you do
I gotta see you tonight, straight down the line
I wanna feel you tonight, your body next to mine
And I won't let go, 'cos I want you to know
We're gonna play that loving game

Give me your body, give me your soul
We're gonna have a party, yeah we're gonna rock and roll
And I'm ready, yeah I'm ready to play the loving game

I've been holding on, holding out for you
No-one makes me feel the way you do
I gotta see you tonight, straight down the line
I wanna feel you tonight, your body next to mine
And I won't let go, 'cos I want you to know
We're gonna play that loving game

I gotta see you tonight, straight down the line
I wanna feel you tonight, your body next to mine
And I won't let go, 'cos I want you to know

I gotta see you tonight, straight down the line
I wanna feel you tonight, your body next to mine
And I won't let go, 'cos I want you to know
We're gonna play that loving game
I gotta see you tonight
I wanna feel you tonight

10. Who gets the love?

I've spent a lifetime running after youBut listen woman,
everything must changeIt's time you found yourself some
other fool you can blameYou had me figured as the
spineless oneWho'd be there waiting when you'd had your
funBut now's the time I feel I should be coolWhat a
shame, what a shameWho gets the love that we no
longer share?Who gets to hold you close when I'm not
there?Whose heart is filling up, I'm asking youWho
gets the love?So many times you said I made you
cryThat's not the truth it's just an alibiAnd I'm
not planning to be number two, won't play your game.I've
often wondered after love has goneWhere do we find the
strength to carry on?And where's that someone that our
love suppliesAnd what's their name? What a shame.Who gets the love that we no longer share?Who gets to
hold you close when I'm not there?Whose heart is filling
up, I'm asking youWho gets the love?Before we
give in are we really sureWe're giving love that we don't
need no more?There ain't a chance that we might get
together again, oh noWho gets the love that we no
longer share?Who gets to hold you close when I'm not
there?Whose heart is filling up, I'm asking youWho
gets the love?Who gets the love that we no longer
share?Who gets to hold you close when I'm not there?Whose heart is filling up, I'm asking youWho gets the
love?

11. Burning bridges

Building dreams has always been my way
Making time and living for the day
Burning bridges never made me cry
I could walk away with no goodbye
Easy take or easy leave them all
'til you scratch the writing on the wall

It's on and off and on again
Going on and then
Taking all I got again
Bleeding me leaving me dry
You're hanging on for what you can
Dragging out the pain
Taking all I give again
Fakin it making me cry

One day someday I may slide away
Turn around and call it all a day
Even though I fooled myself for years
I can't escape this ringing in my ears

It's on and off and on again
Going on and then
Taking all I got again
Bleeding me leaving me dry
You're hanging on for what you can
Dragging out the pain
Taking all I give again
Fakin it making me cry

12. Magic

Never been very good at the things that I should do better
And I've tied very hard just to see if I could forget ya
But never, ever could we get back together
I doubt it somehow, doubt it, yes I do

Did you think that I would be so good that it wouldn't matter
And did you feel at the time that the weight of the time is
greater
It's magic, magic, everything else has had it
It's magic, magic, everything that you do
I've had it, magic, had that magical feeling

Just call me and you know I'll be there
Don't worry me you know I'll be there
No matter if it's day or night, you
Why worry if I say I'll be there

Did it all, looking back at the road, maybe lacked some
measure
Could it be, could it be you and me wanted just the pleasure, my
pleasure

But magic, magic, everything else has had it
It's magic, magic, everything that you do
I've had it, magic, had that magical feeling

Just call me and you know I'll be there
Don't worry me you know I'll be there
Won't matter if it's day or night, you
Why worry if I say I'll be there

Right or wrong, it's still the same
It's a win-or-lose-it game

Never been very good at the things that I should do better
Could it be, could it be you and me wanted just the pleasure, my
pleasure

But magic, magic, everything else has had it
It's magic, magic, everything that you do
I've had it, magic, had that magical feeling
Magic, oh it's magic, everything else has had it
It's magic, magic, everything that you do
I've had it, magic, had that magical feeling
Magic, oh it's magic, everything else has had it....
