The Real World
Lead vocal - john miles
One more compromise I wont be making
One more easy way out I wont be taking
So many chances dont come twice
So many eyes are made of ice
One more cheating hand I wont be shaking
One more substitute I wont be trying
One more piece of the rock that Im not buying
So many times we stand and fight
So many reasons cant be right
One more simple truth Im not denying
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many lonely nights in the real world
Too many fools who dont think twice
Too many ways to pay the price
Dont wanna live my life in the real world
One more sacrifice I wont be making
One more golden rule I wont be breaking
No one to let me state my case
No one to tell me to my face
One more sweet suprise I wont be faking
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many lonely nights in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you cant turn
Dont wanna live my life in the real world
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many lonely nights in the real world
Too many games that I cant play
Too many windmills in my way
Dont wanna live in the real world

Fair Warning
You know, wishing wont make it so
Hoping wont do it, praying wont do it
Religion wont do it, philosophy wont do it
The supreme court wont do it,
The president and the congress wont do it
The un wont do it, the h-bomb wont do it,
The sun and the moon wont do it
And God wont do it,
And I certainly wont do it
That leaves you, youll have to do it
I know that youve been wondering
If Im the same man inside
Never tried to fool you
cause Ive got nothing to hide
I gave you fair warning I could never be tied down
til Ive seen paradise with my very own eyes
Love owns us all, time owns us all, life owns us all
But the world doesnt own me
Dontcha follow me now
I aint afraid to say I may have been wrong
I have to go now
Id rather live by a dream than live by a lie
And thats why
There aint no cure for what Ive got baby
We just have to suffer
I feel no pain, I cant complain,
Things could always be rougher
But I picked up this banner
And I just cant put it down (no)
I cant let the world die just cause no one would try
Dontcha follow me now
Everybodys got to find his own place in the sun,
Everyone
So shine on me now
Id rather live by a dream then live by a lie
You can say what you will about me
Talk is cheap and I dont mind
When you lay your life down in them grooves
You know youre bound to get scratched up sometime
Its only just a song, pay me no mind
I have to go now
Youve got to walk that road alone
If you walk it at all
Dont follow me now
I gave you all fair warning
Now its goodbye
And every once in a while why dont you think of me
cause its a long, long time and a long way to go
Cant you see the light shining in my eyes
cause its just one victory
cause your dream goes on forever
Dont you know that Ive been trying
To get my trip together
Be a real man
I got to be a real man
1, 2, 3, do it one more time
Be a real man
Everybody be a real man
Go then, dont believe, and I dont know
cause I got to be a real man
You can be a man, a real man
Ill swim that river, climb that mountain
You and me, we all gotta be, real men

If Your Hearts Not In It
Im missing you
Girl even though youre right here by my side
Cause lately it seems
The distance between us is growing too wide
Im so afraid that youre saying its over
The last thing that I wanna hear
But if your hearts not in it for real
Please dont try to fake what you dont feel
If loves already gone
Its not fair to lead me on
Cause I would give the whole world for you
Anything you ask of me Id do
But I wont ask you to stay
Id rather walk away
If your hearts not in it
You say that you love me
But baby sometimes
Youre just saying the words
If youve got somethin to tell me
Dont keep it inside
Let it be heard
Im so afraid that youre saying its over
Girl Ill make it easy for you
But if your hearts not in it for real
Please dont try to fake what you dont feel
If loves already gone
Its not fair to lead me on
Cause I would give the whole world for you
Anything you ask of me Id do
But I wont ask you to stay
Id rather walk away
If your hearts not in it
How I wish I could take us back in time
But its gone too far now we cant rewind (and theres nothing that I can do
To stop me losin you)
I cant make you change your mind (if your hearts not in it)
But if your hearts not in it for real
Please dont try to fake what you dont feel
If loves already gone
Its not fair to lead me on
Cause I would give the whole world for you
Anything you ask of me Id do
But I wont ask you to stay
Id rather walk away
If your hearts not in it

Over & Over
Lonely one, lonely one, lonely one, lonely one...oh baby.
Hey, were falling like the rain
From the sky (dont know why) I thought that things would change.
But, in the real world, you make it so hard
Ive lost my faith in the stars
And my heart keeps on breaking
Chorus:
Over, and over, and over again
My heart is breaking
Over, and over, and over again
Hey, were moving like the sea (can you take me)
Where I wanna be (where I wanna be)
Its clearer than water
My love cant be stronger
And no ones better for me
But in the real world
You make it so hard
Ive lost my faith in the stars
cause my heart keeps on breaking
(chorus)
Every time you leave me
I just cant believe it
Tell me why its so hard to give you up
Over and over
Every time I tried, it hurt more inside
I should have known from the start, tell me why its so hard
Lonely one, lonely one, lonely one, lonely one...
Please dont leave me, my heart would be such a lonely one
I think its time this time...(over and over)
Dont ever leave me
Please dont leave me, my heart would be such a lonely one
I think its time this time...(over and over) ooh baby
Ive got to give you up, but I dont want to let you go
I think its time this time...
Please dont leave me, my heart would be such a lonely one
I think its time this time...(over and over)
I dont, dont wanna believe that its over
I think its time this time...(over and over)
Dont ever leave me, oh my heart
The fire keeps on dying in the end.
Hearts keep breaking...

Real World
Days, times we will remember
When innocence was lost
We let our hearts move on
So many dreams we thought would last forever
Today it doesnt matter
All those dreams are gone, they are gone, oooh
Tell me how it feels again
Oh, show me that its real and then
Ill walk away, from my own reflection
The stranger that I knew
The stranger that was you
And now I face a cold return to sender
A truce but no surrender
A voice that wont ring true, where are you? oooh
I reach over the edge
And throw a penny in the wishing well
Its so deep that I can tell
That in the real world
Theres fewer stars in the sky
And in the real world
You can get hear children cry at night
This is the real world
There is no time, for a life of solitude
Only hunger and survival
In the world we were born into, were alone, oooh
And it brings me to my knees
Our father lay me down to sleep
Father please
Pray the lord my soul to keep
Keep us in the real world
Keep us in the real world
Dont have to tell you
In the real world
Theyll damn you if you try
In the real world
Let it begin with you and i
This is the real world
Theres fewer stars in the sky
This is the real world
You can get hear children cry at night
Now in the real world
Theyll damn you if you try
And in the real world
Let it begin with you and i
Living in the real world
Yeah, living in the real world

Vermilion Pt. 2
She seemed dressed in all of me,stretched across my shame
All the torment and the pain
leaked through and coverd me
Id do anything to have her to myself
Just to have her for myself
Now I dont know what to do, dont know what to do when she makes me sad
She is everything to me
The unrequited dream
The song that no one sings
The unattainable, shes a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason
I dont know what to do, I dont know what to do when she makes me sane
But I wont let this build up inside of me
I wont let this build up inside of me
I wont let this build up inside of me
I wont let this build up inside of me
But I wont let this build up inside of me
A catch in my throat
Choke, torn into pieces, I wont
No, I dont want to be this
I wont let this build up inside of me
(Wont let this build up inside of me)
I wont let this build up inside of me
(Wont let this build up inside of me)
I wont let this build up inside of me
(Wont let this build up inside of me)
I wont let this build up inside of me

Real World
I remember me sittin on my daddys
Knee
Dreamin about what life had in store for me
When I look back now it really makes me mad
The years I took for granted were the best I had
School was alright
Gave me time to fantasize
But one day I woke up
And I realized
Im livin in the real world
Everythings written in black and white
Livin in the real world
Where you dont get nothin unless you fight
I wanna relax but I dont know how
The pressures on me are much stronger now
I remember the days I didnt have a care
Aside from being afraid somebodyd cut my hair
I wanna make it
Before my chances are gone
They say be patient
But it takes too long
Im livin in the real world
Everythings written in black and white
Livin in the real world
Where you dont get nothin unless you fight
Real world
Where there aint no holiday in sight
Livin in the real world
Where you dont get nothin unless you fight
Someday soon Ill settle down for
Good
There was a time I thought I never would
Im gonna live with a lady on a quiet beach
Im gonna have three kids, maybe one of each
Ive got to make it
Before my chances are gone
They say be patient
But it takes too long
Im livin in the real world
Everythings written in black and white
Livin in the real world
Where you dont get nothin unless you fight
Real world
Where there aint no holiday in sight
Livin in the real world
Where you dont get nothin unless you fight

You Say
Its a cold world, its a cruel world
When you havent got no one to love
And all that poison builds up in your heart
Like a cancer killing a dove
You gotta stop that life [turning/turn it] upside down
You gotta find someone to take care of
I say, youre special
No ones ever felt this way
Life is so lonely
When you wont decide to stay
Here comes the [cruel/thrill] man [that/but dont] turn around
Like a spoke turning on the wheel
And it comes and it goes and nobody knows
If its fake or if its for real
When you find someone with a light in their eyes
And your heart you know they will steal
You say, Im special
No ones ever felt this way
Life is so lonely
When you wont decide to stay
And when it comes to the end of day
And you lie sleeping here next to me
I look to you, and [some would say/softly say]:
Am I dreaming or are you really there?
I cant eat, I cant sleep
The face [around a fall/a rounded foe]
You say, Im special
No ones ever felt this way
Life is so lonely
When you wont decide to stay
You say, youre special
No ones ever felt this way
Life is so lonely
When you wont decide to stay

Here In The Real World
Here in the real world
Cowboys dont cry, and heroes dont die
Good always wins, again and again
Love is a sweet dream that always comes true
Oh, if life were like the movies, Id never be blue
Chorus
But here in the real world
Its not that easy at all
cause when hearts get broken
Its real tears that fall
And darlin its sad but true
But the one thing Ive learned from you
Is how the boy dont always get the girl
Here in the real world
I gave you my love, but that wasnt enough
To hold your heart when times got rough
And tonight on that silver screen
Itll end like it should
Two lovers will make it through
Like I hoped we would
Repeat
Repeat chorus
No, the boy dont always get the girl
Here in the real world

Real Cool World
So far this love is delightful
The face of seduction was you
But I listened for each and every footstep
In this real cool world
Questioning saintlike and fantastic heroes
Feeling like lost little children in fabled lands
So I listen for each and every friendship
In this real cool world
Now there is you
In my real cool world
Starry-eyed life but somehow believing in nothing
You whisper sweet nothing but reading between your lines
I listen color me doubtful
In this real cool world
Now there is you
In my real cool world
You came from nowhere
You came from nowhere
You held me you shook me
Hey
Its a cool world
Its a cool world
Its a real cool world
Its a real cool world
Its a real cool world
Its a real cool world
Now there is you
In my real cool world
Now there is you
In my real cool world

Just Dont Tell Me That
Oh oh, no no, all right
You got to be seen at every party
At the playboy mansion
But, sad
I know I gotta draw the line
You wanna be in
The flashes of light
Holding me tight
With your phoney laugh
I guess
You gotta be photographed
You can say its real
But I know where its at
Just dont tell me that
You are gonna love me
I dont wanna hear it baby
Tell me that
Its gonna be your last lie
No baby I wont go for that
Even if you did say
You were gonna be there
I dont want you back
cause its not about love
Just dont tell me that
You like to drive in my car
Spend every dollar of my credit
Baby, guess what
Saw me with your golden eye
Guess you wanna be
Part of the ride
Live for the night
But Ive seen it through
Had enough of being close to you
You can say its real
But I know where its at
Just dont tell me that
You are gonna love me
I dont wanna hear it baby
Tell me that
Its gonna be your last lie
No baby I wont go for that
Even if you did say
You were gonna be there
I dont want you back
cause its not about love
Just dont tell me that
No no, its not about love
No no
You wanna be in
The flashes of light
Holding me tight
Girl its all up to you
But whatever you do
I dont wanna hear it
Youre not gonna love me
I wont go for that
It just wont last
Even if you did say
You were gonna be there
I dont want you back
cause its not about love
Just dont tell me that
You are gonna love me
I dont wanna hear it baby
Tell me that
Its gonna be your last lie
No baby I wont go for that

Respect
Thats ok
If thats the way you wanna play it
I dont mind
I can play it anyway
You wont stop
Until I pul you to pieces
Which I will in time
But Im still curious
Youre so young
Not one backbone between you
But you think youll make a hero
Quite peculiar
Youre just boys
You dont know what youve angered
Did you know youre talking to the heart
Of the machine?
Welcome boys
Welcome to the real world
I could almost be sorry
But I could be wrong
I know you
I know what youve been doing
I know where you live
And I know where you are
You know me
Im the smiling assassin
You know I wont forgive
And you know I wont forget

Real Me
I know a girl who welcomes the world
I think though the world is spoiled
And she holds on to me
She holds my head up so that I can breathe
And Ive found that when Im on the ground
Shes the only one still sticking around
Only she knows the real me
And I know that she wont let me down
And I get mine
No way I could ever leave today
Cause she listens to the dumb things that I say
And I seem to get high
With just one smile as she walks on by
And I found that when Im on the ground
She is the only one sticking around
Only she knows the real me
And I know that she wont let me down
Theres only one girl in this world who understands the real me
Theres nothing superficial artificial
You get just what you see
I know a girl who takes up my world
Takes all of me and every breath that I hold
We meet and she makes me feel free
With one look she knows just what I need
And Ive found that shes got me bound
Cause shes the only one that my mind surrounds
Only she knows the real me
And I know that she wont let me down
I know a girl who wakes up my world
Brings in the warmth when Im feeling cold
And shes got places to be
But she says that she would rather stay here with me
And Ive found that when Im on the ground
Shes the only one sticking around
Only she knows the real me
And I know tht she wont let me down

Wont you just go away
Go away
Dont you come back one day
Take your stuff
Take all of your precious things
Leave right now
Who knows what tomorrow brings
Stay away
Wont you please stay away
Live your life
But live it real far away
Save yourself
Theres no way to get it all
Look around
The writing is on the wall
And when you go
I wont miss you at all
And when you go
Ill be having a ball
You will see
Thoughts of you
Wont ever cross my mind
Its the truth
Dont mean to be unkind
cause people have the right
To party
And you wont let them
Have their fun
See ya, wouldnt wanna be ya
Auf wiedersehen, au revoir, shalom
Go away
Would you please go away
Go away
Youre outta here come what may
Hit the road
Dont bother to say goodbye
Dont care how
Dont even matter why
Yes, people have the right to party
And were not waiting till youre gone

Fare thee well,adios, so long

All I Need To Know
So I walk another mile down this crooked road
Clouds rolling in lord its getting cold
Feeling fine, feel lost, feeling blue tonight
But my only friend is mr. moonlight
Then I see you girl lost in your book of poems
Youre in another world,
I should leave you alone
My heart races on I try and hold it back
But like a runaway train Im about to jump the tracks
Now you say you need a friend
I swear to you if thats what you need
Thats what Ill be
But I hope this never ends
I feel theres something more the way
You look at me
And thats all I need to know
I wont question why dont need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes
Thats all I need to know
Now were talking bout angels that have lost their wings
This melancholy world and the nature of things
But them theres only silence when your eyes meet mine
Sends a shiver to my soul runs deeper than time
Reciting from your black book you were like some wounded bird
I tried to catch your heart as it fell between your words
You tore out one page and let it blow away
Then you disappeared into your world
Its a place I just cant stay
You say you need a friend
I swear to you if thats what you need
Thats what Ill be
But I hope this never ends
I feel theres something more the way
You look at me
And thats all I need to know
I wont question why dont need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes
Thats all I need to know
All I need to know
I wont question why dont need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
But its right here in my heart
Thats all I need to know
Thats all I need to know
I wont question why dont need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes
Thats all I need to know
All I need to know
I wont question why dont need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
But its right here in my heart
Thats all I need to know

My Love Is For Real
(rhett lawrence / paula abdul)
I made mistakes when I played with your mind
Gave you excuses with each story line
If you ask me how I feel
My love is for real
Watching you wondering what I feel inside
Deep in my soul Ive got nothing to hide
If you ask me how I feel
My love is for real
If you ask me how I feel
My love is for real
So baby please dont worry
I wanna make it better
I wanna be your only love
This time Ill understand you
Ill never leave your side
This time its got to be for you
Lets put an end to these long lonely nights
Things that were once wrong now turned out all right
If you ask me how I feel
My love is for real
If you ask me how I feel
My love is for real
You told me, you loved me
You said that
I need you, you want me
I told you
So baby I wont tease you
Im gonna make it better
Im wanna be your only love
This time Ill understand you
Ill never leave your side
This time its got to be for you
If you ask me how I feel

Let Me Go
One more kiss could be the best thing
One more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And youre not something I deserve
In my head theres only you now
This world falls on me
In this world, theres real and make-believe
This seems real to me
You love me but you dont know who I am
Im torn between this life I lead and where I stand
You love me but you dont know who I am
So let me go
Let me go
I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing?
And I know what Im going through
In my head theres only you now
This world falls on me
In this world, theres real and make-believe
This seems real to me
You love me but you dont know who I am
Im torn between this life I lead and where I stand
You love me but you dont know who I am
So let me go
Just let me go
Let me go
And no matter how hard I try
I cant escape these things inside
I know, I know
When all the pieces fall apart
You will be the only one who knows
Who knows
You love me but you dont know who I am
Im tore in between this life I lead and where I stand
You love me but you dont know who I am
So let me go
Just let me go
You love me but you dont
You love me but you dont
You love me but you dont know who I am
You love me but you dont
You love me but you dont

Please Dont Let It Go
Were drifting apart,
But I wont give up, no
Wherever you are I belong
Love sings us a song
But we fail to sing along
Wherever you go I will follow
So please dont let it
Please dont let it go
And if you wont let it I wont let it go
Please dont let it
Please dont let it go
And if you wont let it I wont let it go
You try to be strong
Youve tried it oh so long
Whatever I do I do it wrong
And love sings our song
So eager to sing along
Whatever you do I know it
So please dont let it
Please dont let it go
Cause if you wont let it I wont let it go
Please dont let it
Please dont let it go
Cause if you wont let it I wont let it go
Dont let go of life
Let go of love
Let go of all we have
So dont let go of trust
Let go of lust
Let go of all we share
So please dont let it
Please dont let it go
And if you wont let it I wont let it go
Please dont let it
Please dont let it go
And if you wont let it I wont let it go
