@SONG: Who Needs Love Like That
Who needs love like that
There's something going on
Something not quite right
There's something strange
A-happening to me
There's someone at the door
Hear voices in my head
It seems things aren't the way
They ought to be
Who needs love like that
Who needs love like that
It seemed so clear before
I held my point of view
I kept my conversation
Never changed
Now it's all gone wrong
Words are kind of hard
Nothing else around me
Looks the same
-Chorus:
Who needs love like that
Who needs love like that
Love can turn you upside-down
And leave you cold
It's plain to see
You're losing all control
(Losing all control)
I'd like to understand
Like to find out why
I can't remember all
The lines that you said
But then I see your face
And nothing really counts
Don't tell me now
This feeling will stay
Chorus
Chorus to fade
@SONG: Reunion
Oh my love you've been
So much on my mind
I've been waiting
For this day to arrive
It's been so long
I watched the hours go by
It really doesn't matter
Got you here by my side
I was blind now baby
I see the light
Love is kind yeah
'Cause you've made it alright
Stay with me
So close forever in time
See what you're really feeling
Say you'll always be mine
-Chorus:
Reunion
Together this time
Reunion
Forever be mine
Will not believe it
Never see you again
Everyone's saying
You're a fool in the end
Whispering words
They make me feel so ashamed
They tried so hard to stop me
Still I call out your name
I was dreaming
In a world of my own
Tears of sorrow
Let me cry all alone
What could I do
A thousand nights without you
No more empty heartache
Can't believe that it's true
Chorus
Feel so fine yeah
'Cause you're back with me now
It's a true love story
Knew we'd make it somehow
Goodbye blues
We're gonna leave you behind
Now we're here together
You're just wasting your time
Sunshine calling
Must be love in the air
Ain't that something
We've got more than our share
Love returns
When love is true
No more sad or parting
Baby I got you
Chorus to fade
@SONG: Cry So Easy
Draw the line
Don't want to waste my time
On an unresponsive
Kid like you
Who made the effort
You devil in disguise
You just keep on trying
To win affection with your smile
-Chorus I:
Baby cry so easy
Expect me to believe
In the love that
You're looking for
(In the love that you're looking for)
Say you'd never leave me
But babe I can't believe
In the love that
You're looking for
Danger signs
Opened up the eyes
Of an unsuspecting
Fool like me
What about an effort
What about tonight
What's the use in trying
When nothing's going right
-Chorus II:
Baby cry so easy
Expect me to believe
In the love that
You're looking for
Tears they don't come easy
And babe I can't believe
In the love that
You're looking for
(The kind love you never felt before)
Chorus I
Can't you see
That you're turning me
Into a cold cold
Kid like you
Forget the effort
Now you're not mine
No more use in smiling
It's time to say goodbye
Chorus II
Chorus I
Say you'd never leave me
Tears they don't come easy
Baby please don't leave me
Baby (in the love that you're looking for)

@SONG: Senseless
Go ahead, get captivated
Will you ever give your secrets away?
My mind says it's gonna drive me senseless
But it's only tunnel vision
It's only state of mind
-Chorus:
It's alright
It's alright to make the move
It's alright
Get there, stay there
Babe it's alright
It's alright to feel the mood
It's alright
So good, so fine
Babe it's alright
There has to be
Some kind of harmony
To keep the maddenin'
Silence away
So hang on, we'll be movin' on
'Cause it's only your confusion
That's keepin' us behind
Chorus
Chorus
Got there, babe better stop there
Inhibition's slipping away
Stay there, got alot that we can share
I found out the secret
Was only state of mind
Chorus to end
@SONG: Heavenly Action
-Chorus:
Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action, reaction
Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action
Found out I was standing
In your firing line
You made the mark
Your arrow went through me
Cut a real impression
On this heart of mine (on this heart of mine)
Now what you want is happening to me (to me)
Chorus
Be my lover
I don't want another
My angel from heaven
Be my lover
I don't want another
My angel from heaven
Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action
Arrow in my heart
Yeah we were meant to be
I knew it was my name
You were calling
Celebration now your
Standing next to me (stand next to me)
It's only love in motion
I'm falling, falling
Chorus
Be my lover
I don't want another
My angel from heaven
Be my lover
I don't want another
My angel from heaven
Angel, angel
Chorus to fade
@SONG: Say What
Say what, make out
Say what, make out
It's a crazy situation
Keeps my body hot
I want infatuation
Something you ain't got
This fire inside
A love so bright
-Chorus:
Say what
The hell you think you've done
A-drive me higher and higher
Make out (make out)
When nothing's going on
Oh you're such a liar
I got no future
What's the use in keeping tight
Always wrapped up in yourself
Oh you're alright
Why should I fall
No love at all
Chorus
Mama said you're as good as dead
If you don't polish up yourself
(Love don't come either)
Say what
Love, love, love
(Love don't come either)
Make out
Why'd you try to fool me
I see, got no heart
A-threw me tried to rue me
Tore my head apart
See your lover move on
See right from wrong
Chorus
Mama said you're as good as dead
If you don't polish up yourself
Chorus to fade
@SONG: Love Is A Loser
Love me forever
Let me know that you'll
Never leave me out in the cold
Never leave me alone
I'll show you devotion
Can't control my emotion
I've got love on my side
Hey what a surprise
They say love
Is just infatuation
I say love
Is dancing 'cross the nation
Love's so appealing
Leaves you rockin' and reelin'
How did it happen this time
Got love on my mind
Hold me and kiss me
Tell me how much you missed me
How can they keep us apart
Got love in our hearts
They say we're just
Two more crazy lovers
I say all we need
Is one another
Oh Lord how they gonna stop us today
My word see how the passionless play
Love me forever
Let me know that you'll
Never leave me out in the cold
Never leave me alone
I'll show you devotion
Can't control my emotion
I've got love on my side
Hey what a surprise
They say love
Is just infatuation
I say love
Is dancing 'cross the nation
Oh Lord how they gonna stop us today
My word see how the passionless play
Dancin' across the nation
Dancin' across the nation...
@SONG: March On Down The Line
Lover out my way
I'll stand up to anything
Move on out this heartbeat
The sun is over
-Chorus:
A new day, a new way
I'm coming out this time
A new name, let's play the game
And march on down the line
I've got lots to share
About the way I feel inside
Round and round this place
Like a shotgun fire
Chorus
(A-ha let's play the game)
Chorus
Now the fight is won
Stand attent and tall again
God is on our side
Dance on up to heaven
Chorus
(A-ha let's play the game)
Chorus to fade
@SONG: My Heart...So Blue
I've got her picture
It's there on the wall
I can't remember why
I keep it at all
The doors are cold and
All the windows seem gray
I write the book
There's so much more I should say
Wave goodbye
See my heart...so blue
Wave goodbye
See my heart...so blue
And now it's over
I write it all down
No one to notice
One less face in the crowd
Our eyes are open
When it suits us to say
Dear God in heaven
Show no mercy to me
Wave (wave) goodbye
See my heart...so blue
Wave (wave) goodbye
Lost for you
I shed no tears
And there's no reason for shame
A small consolation
Hides a stone with her name
Just a victim
Still the light shines all bright
I've got her picture
Think I'll hold it tonight
Chorus to fade
@SONG: Oh L'Amour
-Chorus:
Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do
Looking for you
You were looking for me
Always reaching for you
You were too blind to see
Oh love of my heart
Why leave me alone
I'm falling apart
No good on my own
Chorus
Why throw it away
Why walk out on me
I just live for the day
For the way it should be
There once was a time
Had you here by my side
You said I wasn't your kind
Only here for the ride
Chorus
No emotional ties
You don't remember my name
I lay down and die
I'm only to blame
Oh love of my heart
It's up to you now
You tore me apart
I heard inside-out
Chorus to fade
