I Aint Goin Down
Im gonna hold on--
cause what I believe in is so strong
No matter how long, no one
Can tell me Im wrong--i aint goin down
I had a baby at fifteen--
Daddy never did forgive me
I never heard from the guy again
I had to drop outta high school--
Everybody treated me so cruel
But I didnt give in and giver her away
[repeat chorus]
Her smile got me through the day--
And every night Id pray
I could give her enough
At night Id lie awake and cry--
Hopin wed get by
cause you cant live on love
I worked night and day to keep us goin
Through the sweat and tears
Without her knowin
It was worth it just to watch her grow
Oh, oh, at least I was able to hold her
Whenever she needed my shoulder
Im so glad I never let her go
[repeat chorus]
Her smile got me through the years--
Dried away the tears
And filled me with hope
At night Id lie awake and cry--
Prayed we would get by
And for the courage to cope
Oh, oh, oh
[instrumental solo]
Her smile got me through the day--
And every night Id pray
I could give her enough
[repeat chorus (2x)]
No on can tell me Im wrong
I aint goin down

Im Goin Down
Time on my hands
Since youve been away boy
I aint got no plans (no, no, no, no)
And the sound of the rain against my window pane
Is slowly, is slowly driving me insane, boy
Im goin down

Cause you aint around baby
My whole worlds upside down
Sleep dont come easy
Boy please believe me
Since youve been gone
Everythings going wrong
Whyd you have to say goodbye
Look what youve done to me

I dont know what to do
If I ever loose you

What did I do wrong?
Please forgive my baby
And come home

Goin' Out Of My Head
Well, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Over you
Over you
I want you to want me
I need you so badly
I can't think of anything but you
And I think I'm goin' out of my head
'Cause I can't explain the tears that I shed
Over you
Over you
I see you each morning
But you just walk past me
You don't even know that I exist
Chorus:
Goin' out of my head over you
Out of my head over you
Out of my head day and night
Night and day and night

I must think of a way
Into your heart
There's no reason why
My being shy
Should keep us apart
Well, I think I'm goin' out of my head

Count the times that he laid awake at night thinkin
Am I goin down now

Nowhere
If ever you wondered
If ever you were nervous about it
You gotta know,
I aint never,
Lemme say that again,
I aint never, goin nowhere
Listen to me
Last night I allmost cried when you told me
That you think you love me more than I love you
Sometimes it hurts to carry that burden alone
Lets be clear and get a few things straight
No ones ever gunna take your place in my heart
Nothing can measure the love that i've got for you
Im telling you
When im out in the club at night
You dont have to worry about a thing
Cuz I aint goin nowhere, I aint goin nowhere,
So my heart is telling me that you are the one
that im gon be with for the rest of my life
And I aint goin nowhere
I know you've heard it all before
You dont have to worry no more
Cuz I aint goin nowhere
Baby just trust me
As long as you love me
I aint never goin nowhere
I was lost and abandoned
Searching for the truth
Looking for that missing one
That missing one was you
The road was so tough
But you gave it up
Untill I found you and you made it
Worth the wait and worth the years
Worth the strength and worth the tears
And you dont know the half of it
But baby heres the rest of it
Did you know that your a gift far brighter than the sun?
Did you know that your a blessing, and im the lucky one
Did you know that I could never ask for a better love
Did you know that I would die, before I broke your heart
Did you know that if you left me, my world would fall apart
And never come back together, baby thats for real
So the next time that you tell me, you'll remember this
When im out in the club at night
You dont have to worry about a thing
Cuz I aint goin nowhere, I aint goin nowhere,
So my heart is telling me that you are the one
that im gon be with for the rest of my life
And I aint goin nowhere
I know you've heard it all before
You dont have to worry no more
Cuz I aint goin nowhere
Baby just trust me
As long as you love me
I aint never goin nowhere
When im out in the club at night
You dont have to worry about a thing
Cuz I aint goin nowhere, I aint goin nowhere,
So my heart is telling me that you are the one
that im gon be with for the rest of my life
And I aint goin nowhere
I know you've heard it all before
You dont have to worry no more
Cuz I aint goin nowhere
Baby just trust me
As long as you love me
I aint never goin nowhere

You disappear in my arms

Better Life
Friday night and the moon is high
I'm wide-awake just watchin' you sleep
And I promise you you're gonna have
More than just the things that you need
We ain't got much now, We're just startin' out
But I know somehow paradise is comin'
Chorus:
Someday baby, You and I are gonna be the ones
Good luck's gonna shine
Someday baby you and I are gonna be the ones
So hold on
We're headed for a better life
Oh now there's a place for you and me
Where we can dream as big as the sky
I know it's hard to see it now
But baby someday we're gonna fly
This road we're on, you know it might be long
But my faith is strong
It's all that really matters
(REPEAT CHORUS)
So hold on, hold on
C'mon baby, hold on
Yeah, we're gonna have it all
And ooh
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
Oh, a better life
Hey we're gonna leave this all behind us baby, wait and see
We're headed for a better life, you and me
We're gonna break the chains that bind and, finally we'll be free
We're gonna be the ones that have it all, you and me
Just hold on tight now baby

He said hes been singin with you
Whoevers tellin lies its time to say bye-bye
You know my mama didnt raise no fool
(chorus)
Youre gonna walk out that door youll never see me anymore
Tell you what Im gonna do
Im gonna love ya just one more time
Id love to see what youve got
I dont care if it takes all night
Gonna make you remember for the rest of your life oh baby
We had a good thing a good thing goin
But aint been seein eye to eye
You had a good thing but its all over
Might as well wave and say goodbye
Its easy to see the guilt in your eyes
Girl I want you to tell me the truth
Was he worth the risk and all the trouble hes caused
Now it comes down to me and you
You thought I was blind when you were gone all the time
Playin me for a fool

Since You 've Been Gone
Whooaaa
Verse 1:
I get the same old dream, same time every night
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes, and in my head
- Thoughts fly back to the break-up
These four walls are closing in
Look at the fix you've put me in!!
Chorus:
Since You've Been Gone, Since You've Been Gone
I'm outta my head, Can't take it
Could I be wrong, but Since You've Been Gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Oooohhh - Whhooooaaa - Ooooohhh
Since You've Been Gone
Verse 2:
So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, the night-time comes around too soon
- You can't know what you mean to me
Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn

If you will come back
Baby you know
You'll never do wrong

Tryin' to figure out how I could make my own records
Workin' in restaurants, bustin' on dishes

Cigerette lighters, Ardig wallets, I was sellin' them
'Till I met the B.H and bust down A capella to him
He said you got talent and you're goin' places

Ever since that day I drew my head high it was on
And now I'm mixing new music with the old school songs

When You Awake
Ollie told me Im a fool. so i
Walked on down the road a mile, went to the house that brings a smile
Sat upon my grandpas knee, and what do you think he said to me?
(chorus:)
When you awake you will remember evrything, you will be
Hangin on a string from your... when you believe, you will relieve the only
Soul
That you were born with to grow old and never know
Ollie showed me the fork in the road.
You can take to the left or go straight to the right,
Use your days and save your nights,
Be careful where you step, and watch wha-cha eat,
Sleep with the light on and you got it beat.
(repeat chorus)
Ollie warned me its a mean old world,
The street dont greet ya, yes, its true;
But what am I supposed to do:
Read the writing on the wall,
I heard itwhen I was very small.
(repeat chorus)
Wash my hand in lye water, I got a date with the
Captains daughter. you can go and tell your brother. we sure gonna
Love one another, oh! you
May be right and ya might be wrong, I aint gonna worry all day long.
Snows gonna come and the frost gonna bite, my old car froze
Up last night. aint no reason to hang your head I could wake up in the
Mornin dead. oh! and
If I thought it would do any good, Id stand on the rock where moses stood.

Baby Your Baby
All you know it all lovers better heed some advice,
If youre bad to your baby, youd better think twice.
Love dont come easy, love aint blind.
Youve got to show her you love her, morning and night,
Be there for her just to make things right.
Make her believe till there aint a doubt in her mind.
Chorus:
Better baby your baby with a love thats strong,
Hold her and tell her youll never do wrong.
Better baby your baby, cause if you dont
One day your babyll be gone.
Dont let her get lonely, dont make her cry,
Dont take her for granted, dont tell her a lie.
Bring her red roses when shes blue.
Give her the best of what youve got to give,
Youll be together as long as you live,
Better baby your baby, shell baby you.

After so many years have gone

Never again will you be alone.

The Great Compromise
I knew a girl who was almost a lady
She had a way with all the men in her life
Every inch of her blossomed in beauty
And she was born on the fourth of july
Well she lived in an aluminum house trailer
And she worked in a juke box saloon
And she spent all the money I give her
Just to see the old man in the moon
Chorus:
I used to sleep at the foot of old glory
And awake in the dawns early light
But much to my surprise
When I opened my eyes
I was a victim of the great compromise
Well wed go out on saturday evenings
To the drive-in on route 41
And it was there that I first suspected
That she was doin what shed already done
She said johnny wont you get me some popcorn
And she knew I had to walk pretty far
And as soon as I passed through the moonlight
She hopped into a foreign sports car
(repeat chorus)
Well you know I could have beat up that fellow
But it was her that had hopped into his car
Many times Id fought to protect her
But this time she was goin too far
Now some folks they call me a coward
cause I left her at the drive-in that night
But Id druther have names thrown at me
Than to fight for a thing that aint right
(repeat chorus)
Now she writes all the fellows love letters
Saying greetings, come and see me real soon
And they go and line up in the barroom
And spend the night in that sick womans room
But sometimes I get awful lonesome
And I wish she was my girl instead
But she wont let me live with her
And she makes me live in my head

Hold On
Written by kim wilde & tony swain
In the day I can smile though I wanna die
I hold on, hold on
I can keep it together for a little while
And be strong, so strong
But when the sun goes down and Im all alone
I havent the strength to fight
Thats when my tears give into the night
Tell me how, how much loneliness can one heart take
Without the chance that it will break in two
And why Im holding on to a love that has gone
Tell me how to carry on
I believed that meeting you would be my destiny
Your love would come to set me free
So why am I left standing here alone
Wont you please come and take me home
Tears give into the night
In the day I can smile though I wanna die
Tears give into the night
I can keep it together for a litttle while
In the day I can smile though I wanna die

You helped me see how love can still be right

And you mentioned its an early flight
You start to pack
And while I comb my hair

Why Should I Cry
There's a time I felt I was blessed to be loved by you
Those blessings turned to regrets from all the things you put me thru
I remember at night you used to hold me til the sun rose the next day
Now you sleep and just turn away while my heart is on display
CHORUS:
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say
There's a reason why I cry everyday
There's a reason why things don't go your way
There's a reason why I kneel down and pray
There's a reason why Im still around today
Can't you see that I'm hurting internally
I need affection and good love therapy
I need you now it's an urgent delivery
To get rid of this pain from inside of me
CHORUS:
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say
Why should I put up with lies?
Am I afraid to say goodbye?
I loved you so
Baby I cant deny
But now it's time to dry my eyes
Time to think of what was gained
When I feel like it was all of pain
Can't be right and feel this wrong
This heart of mine should just move on
CHORUS:
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say

Tomorrow
There are times in our lives
When we all feel inside
Something's wrong, there's gotta be
Something better for me
So we try on our own
To change our paths,
But we don't realize that joy comes after rain
And Life begins again
Chorus:
Tomorrow
Is a better day
Tomorrow
You will see the way
When God is by your side to stay
Just keep on movin', don't you dare give up
There are times, times we
Can be swayed so easily
Doubt can come in my mind
And I'm ready to give up this time
But I've got to keep on goin', got to keep on movin'
Got to keep on pressing it through
'Cause I know my God is able, oh He's more than able
It's no thing to take care of you, I say....

Has enough love to take good care of you

Why Aint I Running
More info about this song in the song database
I can hear that highway calling
As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder
This is usually goodbye
And yet those words I just cant find here as I hold her
Shes like no other woman
That I have known before
And it aint me to see the morning sun
From this side of the door
Chorus:
Why aint I running, why aint I gone
How does she hold me without holding on
In love or a fight shes stronger than strong
Somethings not right if there aint nothing wrong
Its got me wondering, why aint I running
Why aint I gone
All those words I left behind me
Praying they would never find me and my freedom
But if they stood right here beside me
They would never recognize me for all that shes done
Once happiness was only
Whenever I was on my own
So now why do I feel lonely
Any time that Im alone
Repeat chorus
No, theyve never built a wall that high
Or made a chain that strong
And God aint never made a place
I felt like I belong
