My intentions are good, my hearts in the right place now
You see I wanna be good to you, baby but sometimes I just don't know how
And the hand of fate, reaches out once more
And pulls me though that gate, like one hundred times before

Ooh, there are the nights, when things just work out right
No one could be as close as you and me
Then it all breaks down and we can't find that common ground
That's not the way, the way it oughta be, baby, oh, oh

Why do we laugh, why do we cry? Why do we feel this pain inside?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
In this game of hit and miss, how long can we go on like this?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows

But if we threw it all away, it's something we'd regret someday
Oh, heaven knows
Why do we do these foolish things?
Only heaven knows

My intentions are good, my actions are hard to explain
I get misunderstood sometimes, there's nobody but me to blame
I've gotta speak my mind and deal with the situation
Open the lines, the lines of communication

Ooh there are the nights, we really get it right
Makin' love, endlessly
And then there are the days, we go our separate ways
As though there's nothin' left of you and me, baby, oh no
Nothin' left of you and me

Why do we laugh, why do we cry? Why do we feel this pain inside?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
In this game of hit and miss, how long can we go on like this?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows

But if we threw it all away, it's something we'd regret someday
Oh, heaven knows

Why do we laugh, why do we cry?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
Why do we feel this pain inside?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows

But if we threw it all away, it's something we'd regret someday, oh
Why do we do these foolish things?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows

You see, I wanna be good to you, baby
Heaven knows
Why do we feel this pain inside?
You see I wanna be good to you, baby
Heaven knows, oh yeah
Heaven knows, heaven knows

Yeah, yeah, yeah

This is the thirteenth day of waiting, the second long weekend
These liberties you've taken, have got to end, oh yeah
This distance you've been keeping, grows wider everyday
Time is running out, there's nothing left to say, oh, oh

Innocent child, that's what I once believed
But now I know better and I ain't gonna let you play
That game with me, I'm telling you mama

I'm gonna get lowdown and dirty, run wild in the night
Lowdown and dirty, this time I'll do it right
Loving every minute, making up for lost time
I'll get lowdown, lowdown and dirty

A little time to do some thinking, some searching of the soul
I never knew your heart could be so cold, oh yeah
You're driven by ambition, you want the best that you can get
Ambition leads you blindly if you let it babe, and I guess you let it now

That innocent smile, it fooled me all the way
It drew me in, but now there's gonna be some hell to pay
Oh gonna be hell to pay

I'm gonna get lowdown and dirty and break every rule, yeah
Lowdown and dirty, nobody gonna treat me like a fool
Running free and easy, now I'm out on the lose
I'll get lowdown and dirty, oh lowdown and dirty tonight

Oh, oh such an innocent child, you fooled me all the way
You drew me in, but now there is going to be some hell to pay, oh

I'm gonna get lowdown and dirty, run wild in the night
Lowdown and dirty, do it good, do it right
You see I've been reaching up for something, that's been missing in my life
Got to get lowdown and dirty, lowdown and dirty tonight

Got to get, got to get, got to get lowdown and dirty
Lowdown and dirty
If you could see me now darlin' you'd see me flyin' high
Goin' crazy, lowdown and dirty, get lowdown and dirty

I'm turning to you
When love is on my mind
You're all I want, woman
And love's so hard to find.

I know that I hurt you
And I know that I was wrong
But I want you back
Back where you belong
Oh, yeah.

And I won't give you up
Oh, won't walk away
I hope and I pray
Oh, I hope and I pray
You'll forgive me some day.

I'll fight for you

And together, we'll find a way
And I'll fight for you, darlin', oh oh

'Cause I've waited too long
For love.

And every time I look at you

Our love runs so deeply

That no one can tear apart

I'll fight for you, babe, oh yeah
I'll give you all I got to give
No, I wan't go away
I'll fight for you, babe, fight for your mama.

I'll fight for you...

Don't expect me to treat you like a lady
I may not always show respect
It's too soon, yet I hardly even know you
That's just my way, don't get upset, [Incomprehensible]

Uptill now I've been living like a loner
Gettin' by, ooh, just gettin' by
And this heart of mine has only had one owner
But you could change that if you tried, baby

Now I don't want a love forever
And I don't need a master plan
I just want to come together
And I want you to understand

It's the moment of truth and it's finally come this time
Now we must draw the line
The moment of truth, this time it's everything
Open up, let me in, let me right into your heart, oh yeah

I intend to treat you like a woman
'Cause I can see you're not a child
'Cause you've got that look, that certain way of knowin'
It's got my senses runnin' wild, oh yeah

Now I don't want a love forever
And I don't need a master plan
I just want to come together
And I want you to understand

It's the moment of truth and it's finally come this time
Now we must draw the line
The moment of truth, this time it's everything
Open up, let me in

The moment of truth and it's finally come this time
Now we must draw the line, the moment of truth this time

Now I don't want a love forever
And I don't need a master plan
I just want to come together
And I want you to understand

It's the moment of truth and it's finally come this time
Now we must draw the line
The moment of truth, this time it's everything
Open up, let me in

The moment of truth, oh
It's the moment of truth and the time is come
Moment of truth, moment of truth
Moment of truth, it's time

Moment of truth, oh, we gotta draw the line
Moment of truth, open your heart to me, baby, let me in
Moment of truth, open your heart, let me in
Moment of truth

Open up your window
Open up your door
I need a taste of your sweet, sweet love
That's all I'm livin' for

I've been down on my luck
Down on my knees
Just waitin' for a chance to show you, baby
I only aim to please

Hey, hey, honey
I'm out on the edge, I'm on the borderline
Hey, little honey
You won't believe what's goin' through my mind

I'll build a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
Every time I think of you
You'll feel a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)

See it risin' up, and all you've gotta do
Is get high on my mountain of love

There ain't no use in pretendin'
'Cause I've got my eyes on you, baby
The first time that I saw you girl, I knew
Nobody else would do

Hey, hey, honey
Take a little trip, take a ride with me
Hey, little honey
'Cause I've got something you've just gotta see

It's a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
High enough to touch the sky
You'll feel a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)

See it risin' up, and all you've gotta do
Is get high on my mountain of love

Hey, hey, honey
I'm out on the edge, I'm on the borderline
Say, little honey
Come with me and we'll climb, climb, climb

Up on a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
High enough to touch the sky
A mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
Can't you feel it burnin' up inside

I'm gonna build a mountain of love
Every time I think of you
You'll feel a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
Risin' up, and all you've gotta do
Is get high on my mountain of love, yeah

Get on up
Build me that, babe
Climb on top now
Get up
Oh, I'm gonna get high on my mountain of love
Yeah, yeah

Early in the mornin' before the daylight
I hear the sound of thunder, comin' through in the night
I lie awake and I wonder, where my life is goin'

Am I on a road leadin' nowhere?
There's no way of knowin', oh knowin'
'Cause I've seen the lightnin'

And I'm ready for the rain to fall

Now I'm standin' on a mountain, lookin' into the sky
I see the clouds come rollin' in, water fills my eyes
I don't know what's in the future, no one can say

Don't wanna think about the past, I've gotta live for today
'Cause I've seen the lightnin' now
I need to find my own way, while I've still got time

And I'm ready for the rain to fall
'Cause I've heard the thunder

And I'm ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, ready for the rain

Oh I've got to rise above it all
Get ready for the rain to fall, oh got ready

Did you ever know someone, who had lost their way?
Built their own little kingdom, and just blew it all away
I'm not ashamed to admit it, that someone was me
I'm gonna look to the future now, 'cause I've set myself free

And I've seen the lightnin' yeah
I'm gonna set myself free
While I've still got time

Get ready for the rain to fall
'Cause I've heard the thunder now

And I'm ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, ready for the rain

Oh, I've got to rise above it all
Get ready for the rain to fall
While I've still got time

Yeah, I'm ready for the rain to fall
'Cause I've seen the lightnin'
I'm ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, ready for the rain

Oh, I've got to rise above it all
Get ready for the rain to fall
While I've still got time

Yeah, ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, ready for the rain
Ready for the rain to fall
Fall down on me

Ohh, I've got to rise above it all
Fall, fall down on me
Down on me, down on me

Jimmy got lost in a schoolboy phase
You see the lines got crossed at a young and tender age
He dropped out of school and with the new crowd he'd meet
He left his broken home for a new life out on the street

See the young boys laugh
They're gettin' high on a midnight run
They've got it all figured out
They don't need no help from anyone, no, no

Jimmy never knew real love in his heart
No feelings remain
Somehow he knew he'd never be a part
So alone with his pain

When the night comes down
Out there on the streets, so many sad, sad stories
When the night comes down
They're runnin' out of hope in this land of glory
They're runnin' in the night
When the night comes down

See the young boy cry, he's cryin' out, all alone
And the hurt inside, he's gotta face it all on his own
And the church bells ring and the Lord is praised
But they ain't got time for Jimmy on their holy, holy days

Jimmy never felt real love in his heart
No feelings remain
Somehow he knew he'd never be a part
So alone with his pain

When the night comes down
Out there on the streets, so many sad, sad stories
When the night comes down
They're runnin' out of hope in this land of glory
Just runnin' in the night
When the night comes down

Oh, it's a cold hearted town
Nothin' but a battleground, yeah yeah

And they're runnin' out of hope in this land of glory
When the night comes down
When the night comes down
On this battleground, yeah
So many, so many sad, sad stories
Oh, you can see it every night
When the night comes down

See the young boy cry

In this world, life can be hard on a sensitive girl
Who do you turn to, when you really need someone
Don't give in, hold on, and in time
The day will come, and you will know
That your life has only just begun
And you will feel love, you'll feel the earth meet the heavens above
Leave the past behind, now is the time
Put your trust in me, and believe, when I tell you
I want you, close to me
And from now until the end of time

You'll be safe, safe in my heart, so safe, you know you are
In this space, in this heart
There will always be a place for you
Safe in my heart

From now on, girl I'll be there, I'll be strong for you
When you need me, I'll be right here by your side
Put your trust in me and believe when I tell you
I need you, close to me
From now, 'till the end of time, I want you to know

You are safe, in my heart, so safe, you know you are
In this space, in this heart
There's no room, for anyone but you
I would cry for you, even die for you
So just listen and remember, there will always be a place
For you
Safe in my heart

Every time I run away from you
You searched me out and found me
I build a wall, surround myself
But you've found a way around it

Everywhere I go in this big old world
You're just one step behind me
I turn around and there you are
Ready to remind me

Woah, baby, let me, let me go
Honey, don't you know?

There is no hiding place
Nowhere to run, no escape
There is no hiding place, oh no
There is nowhere safe to disappear without a trace
There is no hiding place

I walked the streets the whole night long
Tryin' to forget you
I rode the subway end to end
I wish I'd never met you

'Coz you got some kinda hold on me
It's so hard to fight it
I can't get away from you
No matter how I try

Whoa, say you'll let me, let me go
You've got to let me go

'Coz there is no hiding place
Nowhere to run, no escape
There is no hiding place, oh no
There is nowhere safe to disappear without a trace
There is no hiding place, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I said, whoa, never let me, let me go
'Coz baby, no, no

There is no hiding place
Nowhere to run, no escape
There is no hiding place, ohh
There is nowhere safe to disappear without a trace
There is no hiding place

No hiding place, alright
No hiding place
There is nowhere safe, gotta disappear without a trace
There is no hiding place

Hiding place, baby, don't you know?
You gotta let this [Incomprehensible]

It's four o' clock in the mornin'
And the daylight's creepin' in
And I'm lyin' awake in bed

And outside my window
The rain's just pourin' down
And there's a pain inside my head, oh yeah

I looked hard into the mirror
Took some water in my hands
And threw it on my face

But your memory won't fade away
I see you everywhere
Around this empty space

This night's too long, fadin' fast
I tell myself, this pain won't last

It's just a flesh wound
Missin' my heart but it still cuts deep
Nothin' but a flesh wound, yeah
It tore me apart and I still can't sleep

You know you really did it well
Now I'm lyin' on a bed of nails
But it's nothin' but a flesh wound

Better pull myself together
Gotta hold my head up high
That's what I've got to do

No damage done
But deep inside my heart
Who am I tryin' to fool

It's over now, it's all in the past
I tell myself, this pain won't last

It's just a flesh wound
Missin, my heart but it still cuts deep
Nothin' but a flesh wound, oh
It tore me apart and I still can't sleep, no, no

I've got no choice, I must be strong
Can't lie here thinkin' about it all night long
It's nothin' but a flesh wound

It's just a flesh wound
Missin' my heart but it still cuts deep
Nothin' but a flesh wound, oh
And it tore me apart but I still can't sleep

You know you really did it well
Now I'm lyin' on a bed of nails

It's just a flesh wound, oh
I got to be strong
It's just a flesh wound, babe
It tore me apart oh, at last
It's a flesh wound
Nothing but a flesh wound, oh
It cuts me deep, yeah

My mind tells me, what will be, shall be
Not a thing I can do about it
'Cause in my heart, I can't do without it

It's so cold out here like minus ten degrees
And I'm trying to get through to you, baby
I've got my heart on ice and it's about to freeze, yeah
Only you can pull me through

'Cause I want some of your unusual heat, yeah
And I need more and more, unusual heat

My body tells me, hold on, I gotta hold on
But I'm so cold and hungry
All stretched out like a month of Sundays

I've been out of my head from that very first day
Searchin' for somebody like you
I've been stumblin' around, every step of the way, alright
And only you can pull me through

'Cause I want some of your unusual heat, yeah
And I need more and more, unusual heat, yeah, yeah

I need it every way, every minute of the day
Baby, I'm yours, I'll do anything you say
If you just give me some of your warm unusual heat, yeah

It's so cold out here, I'm about to freeze
But I'm still trying to get through to you
I've got my heart on ice, oh baby please, please, please
Only you can pull me through

'Cause I want some of your unusual heat, yeah
And I need more and more, unusual heat, oh

I need it every way, every minute of the day
Baby, I'm yours, I'll do anything you say
If you just give me some of your warm

Baby, won't you keep me warm with your unusual heat, yeah
Unusual, unusual heat, yeah, yeah
