That Ole Devil Called Love

Allan roberts / doris fisher
Its that ole devil called love game
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shock again
Put a ring in my eyes
Tears in my dreams
And rocks in my heart
Its that sly ole-sun-of-a-gun again
He keeps telling me that Im the lucky one again
But I still have that ring
Still have those tears
And those rocks in my heart
Suppose I didnt stay and ran away
Wouldnt play
That devil-what a potion he would brew
Hed follow me around
Build me up, tear me down
Till Id be so bewildered
I wouldnt know what to do
Might as well give up the fight again
I know darn well hell convince me
That hes right again
When he sings that siren song
I just gotta tag along
With that ole devil called love
Hed follow around
Build me up, tear me down
Till Id be so bewildered
I wouldnt know what to do

I Wouldnt Go That Far

(dana mcvicker, bruce burch, vip vipperman)
Ill never forget that night long ago
When he drove me down that old dusty road
He took me as far as Id ever been
He wanted me and I wanted him
But Id always been told I shouldnt give in
Chorus:
I wouldnt go that far
I didnt follow my heart
He said he loved me
But I wasnt ready
And I wouldnt go that far
He was so patient, he didnt give up
With a ring in his hand and a heart full of love
He asked me for forever, I asked him to wait
To please understand these dreams I must chase
Though it was a promise I wanted to make
Repeat chorus
After all these years. I saw him again
He had his wife and his family with him
He said he was proud of all my success
He guessed both of us had found happiness
Repeat chorus
Yes, I knew he loved me
But I wasnt ready
And I wouldnt go that far

The Tin Man

(kenny chesney/stacey slate/david lowe)
Saw a man in the movies that didnt have a heart
How I wish I could give him mine
Then I wouldnt have to feel it breaking all apart
And this emptiness inside would suit me fine
Its times like these
I wish I were a tin man
You could hurt me all you wanted
And Id never even know
Id give anything just to be the tin man
And I wouldnt have a heart and I wouldnt need a soul
I couldnt see your leavin comin
You took me by surprise
Even now it still seems like a dream
But I know I cant be dreamin
cause as I lay down each night
The pain so great that it wont let me sleep
Its times like these
I wish I were a tin man
You could hurt me all you wanted
And Id never even know
Id give anything just to be the tin man
And I wouldnt have a heart and I wouldnt need a soul
Well Id give anything just to be the tin man
And I wouldnt have a heart and I wouldnt miss you so

Kid About It

He saw no tears in her eyes
Say you wouldnt kid about it
Shes telling all of those lies
She swore shed never told before
But I doubt it
So he bit his tongue
And tried hard to capture his breath
When she said I waited all my life
For just a little death
Say you wouldnt kid about it
Say you wouldnt kid about it
Say you wouldnt kid about it
Sometimes he takes himself so seriously
She makes her movements mysteriously
Slow fast or furiously
Its a big responsibility
With a face full of mixed ability
Big dreams of elegance
Singing the leaving of liverpool
And turning into americans
Say you wouldnt kid about it
So what if this is a mans world
I want to be a kid again about it
Give me back my sadness
I couldnt hide it even if I tried girl
We fight so frail
Making love tooth and nail
You gave me the kiss of my life
I might even live to tell the tale

I Wouldnt Wanna Be You

(randy sharp, jeff silbar)
You dont have a clue
Youre so far gone
Hes got you dancin to
A sirens song
I wouldnt wanna be you right now
I wouldnt wanna be
I wouldnt wanna be you right now
I wouldnt wanna be, I wouldnt wanna be
Youre not the first hes drawn
To his flame
He means to do you wrong
He has no shame
I wouldnt wanna be you right now
I wouldnt wanna be
I wouldnt wanna be you right now
I wouldnt wanna be, I wouldnt wanna be you
Its easy to understand
How you could fall so hard
Youre not the only one
Hes taken in and torn apart
Wont say I told you so
But Im afraid its true
Youre about to go
What I went through
I wouldnt wanna be you right now
I wouldnt wanna be
I wouldnt wanna be you right now
I wouldnt wanna be, I wouldnt wanna be you

Man With An Open Heart

She wouldnt need to be a bird without a wing
Or be a servant to a telephone ring
She could be sleeping in the comfort of another bed
It wouldnt matter to a man with an open heart
Here comes right now...
She could be moody, dramatic as a play
Or be evasive as a shadow in the shade
Could be irregular and singing in her underwear...
It wouldnt matter to a man with an open heart
Here comes right now...
Her wild and wise womanly
Introspectiveness
Her faults and files of foolishness...
Wouldnt matter to a man with an open heart...
Here comes right now...

Rebel, Rebel, Rebel

We’re in the station line up for something
It’s crowded like hell and nobody cares
About patience, about tolerance
Oh, they all vapor in hot air
They say I should keep move but they don’t give me a room
They keep pushing me back and front
And there’s little devil pop up in my head
Rebel, rebel, rebel
It’s enough!
I will say it clear, I will tell till you can hear
Why I should do what you want but you don’t
I can’t please everyone, I will stay if I want
No matter how hard I should stand my right
By the end you will learn not to ignore

We’re living in mechanical world
Everything out of system will be called junk
Even for a dream, even for change
They won’t believe if there isn’t a proof
They say I should have all but they surround me by wall
And there’s little devil pop up in my head
Rebel, rebel, rebel
Is that enough?
I will say it clear, I will tell till you can hear
Why I should corrupt my heart just to meet your standard
I can’t please everyone, I will do what I want
No matter how long I should fight
By the end you will accept my point

We’re too much having senseless war
They claim they who on the way
To give justice, to make promise
Damn, it’s just a lie as usual
They say they’re who right but they’re wasting my time
They keep covering up and up
And there’s little devil pop up in my head
Rebel, rebel, rebel
It’s really enough!
I will say it clear, I will tell till you can hear
Why I should follow this game when you order with power
I’ll stop you now, I’ll prove you wrong
No matter how hard reality is I will stand for peace
By the end you’ll not get anything worth over

We’re running out the world
Everything exploited till the limit
Only for money, only for greed
And anybody should pay for it
They say there’ll be better life but it’s only lullaby
They keep robbing my land and culture
And there’s little devil pop up in my head
Rebel, rebel, rebel
It’s better enough!
I will say it clear, I will tell till you can hear
Why I should suffer with your own doom
I’ll stop you now, there’s no other direction
No matter how long we must protect we should love more this earth
By the end our children could also feel that their home is a beautiful place

I Wouldnt Change The Man He Is

(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Ive got a funny kind of guy
Nobody knows him
Any better than i
Says without me
He can get along
But I know thats just a mans way
Of saying hes strong
But I wouldnt change him no
Oh I wouldnt change his funny ways
cause hes the cause of my sunny days
And though sometimes he brings me little tears
Still love the man he is
If I do something to please him
He never gives me credit
If I think hell bring me candy and roses
Huh, I might as well forget it
Hes the kind of a man
Who likes his privacy
And when a mood hits him
I know when to let him be
But I wouldnt change him no
I wouldnt change his funny, funny ways
cause hes the cause of my sunny days
And though sometimes he brings me little tears
Still love the man he is
Sometimes when he hurts me so bad
I think Ive got migraine in the head
All he has to do is touch me
Tears disappear
Ill forgive him in a minute
I have to pretend
There aint much I know
Hes the kind of a man
Who likes to run the show
But I wouldnt change him, no
I wouldnt change his funny ways
cause hes the cause of my sunny days
Though sometimes he brings me little tears
Still love the man he is
Oh I love that man
I wouldnt change his funny ways
And I wouldnt change the man he is..

Love Or Money

Verse1:
You might be a small town boy
But your livin large in my world
When you wrap your love around me,
You know Im your number one girl
Traveled across the sea
But it didnt mean that much to me
Youre the star that makes me shine
No matter where my heart may be
Do you need to know
Anything more than this?
Chorus:
I wouldnt leave you for love
Wouldnt leave you for money
Wouldnt leave you for anything in this world honey
Wouldnt do it for diamonds
Wouldnt do it for gold
Baby next to your lovin, they just leave me cold
Verse2:
A millionaire from london
Tried to sweep me off my feet
A lear jet, a fancy car,
But still you got them beat
If valentino courted me
To marry him in rome
It might be tempting,
But you know Id rather stay home with you
cause youre still the one
Who makes me feel like a queen
Chorus
Breakdown:
Would you do it for love? ( wouldnt do it for love! )
Would you do it for money? ( wouldnt do it for money! )
Would you do it for love? ( wouldnt do it for love! )
Or what? ( nothin in the world honey! )
Verse3:
Ill never let you go!
Do I need to know any more than this!? !

Build You Up

Baby don't believe it
Oh, it's in your eyes
I can see the weakness
You don't have to hide
I can take you under
Under my wing
cause your voice gives me a song
That I love to sing
Baby, they build you up
Only to tear you down
Don't give up
Baby don't believe it, baby don't believe it
Baby they build you up
Only to tear you down
Baby don't believe it, baby don't believe it
Oh, it's good for nothing
You were just a child
Ready to explore
And everything you saw
Looked like an open door
A place you can remember
You'd love to go back
But you can't even comprehend
That it's all in the past
Baby they build you up
Only to tear you down
Baby don't believe it, baby don't believe it
Oh, it's good for nothing
Baby they build you up
Only to tear you down
Baby don't believe it, baby don't believe it
Oh, it's good for nothing
Put your heart in my hands and I won't hurt you
Put your heart in my hands
I promise not to
I'll lift you up, you'll fly away, I'll lift you up, lift you up
I'll never build you up, only to tear you down
Baby just believe it, baby just believe it, it's good for something
I'll never build you up, only to tear you down, oh it's good for nothing
And I love you the way you are

Careless Heart

(albert hammond, diane warren, roy orbison)
Producer for bonnie: roy bittan
I had somebody, somebody who loved me
Someone so good to me
You were my angel, you were my heaven
But I was too blind to see
I let you slip away, I guess I never knew
I had the world with you
Id be there, still be there in your arms
Chorus:
If not for my careless heart
Youd still be loving me
If not for my careless heart
Youd still be mine
I wouldnt have this hurt inside
L wouldnt have these tears to cry
If not for my careless heart
If not for my careless heart
I had my chances
I took advantage
I took it all too far
So now youre gone and Im all alone
Alone with my lonely heart
I let it fall apart, I didnt care enough
I lost your precious love
Youd be here, still be here in my arms
Chorus:
Bridge:
Id be loving you, Id be holding you
Id be loving you, if not for my
Careless heart
Instrumental:
I wouldnt have this hurt inside
I wouldnt have these tears to cry

Devil Doll

(orbison)
Devil doll..........devil doll
We went steady in the fall,
We broke up in the spring
Your young lovin blinds,
And you gave me back my ring
Well I see now what my friends saw then,
That youre just not the one
To love someone true
The way I love you,
Oh devil doll
Now Im not the first one
And I wont be the last,
Youll make my heart
Just another heart youve broken in the past
Dont play a game with another guy,
Dont make me feel so blue,
Im a guy thats true and I love you
Oh devil doll
Now Im not the first one
Dont let me be the last,
Dont make my heart
Just another heart youve broken in the past,
Dont play a game with another guy,
Dont make me feel so blue,
Im a guy thats true and I love you
Oh devil doll (devil doll)

Think Im In Love

(l. taylor)
Think Im in love, think Im in love
Think Im in love again
Think Im in love, think Im in love
Think Im in love again
He calls me up
He says
Id like to see you
I hear his voice
And its hard to say no
Its always so good
Each time that Im with him
My head says watch out
But my heart always gives in
And Im caught in the game again
cause after he leaves
Im never the same again
I just got me to blame again
Its easy to see he wants to be free
I can never win
Oh, but wouldnt you know it
I think Im in love again
Think Im in love, think Im in love
Think Im in love again
Think Im in love, think Im in love
Think Im in love again
Think Im in love, think Im in love
Think Im in love again
Think Im in love, think Im in love
Think Im in love again
He says as he leaves
We both gotta be free now
I turn with a smile and I say
Dont worry bout me now
But deep down inside
I wish he could care for
A heart that would love him
But thats not what hes there for
And Im caught in the game again
cause after he leaves
Im never the same again
I just got me to blame again
Its easy to see he wants to be free
I can never win
Oh, but wouldnt you know it
I think Im in love again
Think Im in love, think Im in love
Think Im in love again
Think Im in love, think Im in love
Think Im in love again
Think Im in love, think Im in love
Think Im in love again
Think Im in love, think Im in love
Think Im in love again
Im never the same again
I can never win
Oh, wouldnt you know it

A Room For Everything

Oooooh...
You were looking away from me
Western skies calling you
Colors spilling, running, dazzling you
I was looking the other way
Voices call from the east
I saw my roots of the trees there, planted at my feet
It could be Im searching
For a place so small
With room for everything
Where worlds on worlds revolve
But how can we wait?
I wouldnt hold you
No, I wouldnt hold you
I wouldnt hold you back
Suppose I was the clever one
And words came easy to me
I could say I was writing a song
About you, you and me
Maybe that verse is yet to be found
But waits inside of me
A secret room, a tangled web
To unweave
It could be Im searching
For a place so small
With room for everything
Where worlds on worlds revolve
But how can we wait
Knowing our way
How can we hold on
Still, you know its not too late
I wouldnt hold you
No, I wouldnt hold you
I wouldnt hold you back
I wouldnt hold you
No, I wouldnt hold you
I wouldnt hold you back
I wouldnt hold you
No, I wouldnt hold you
I wouldnt hold you back
I wouldnt hold you
No, I wouldnt hold you
I wouldnt hold you back

If I Didnt Have You

Verse 1
Well I lost my heart on the day we met
But I gained a lot that I dont regret
Then I hung around till you said I do
I knew I wouldnt have nothin
If I didnt have you
Verse 2
Well it changed my thinking
When you changed your name
And neither one of us will ever be the same
And I swear Im never gonna be untrue
cause I wouldnt have nothin
If I didnt have you
Chorus
If I didnt have you Id long ago
Been left in the dark out in the cold
Blowing around from town to town
Like a feather in the wind
If I didnt have you I know Id be
Floundering around like a ship at sea
Lost in the rain of a hurricane
Thats where Id have been
Verse 3
But I didnt get lost cause I saw your light
Shining like a beacon on a cold dark night
And the sun came up and the skies turned blue
No I wouldnt have nothing
If I didnt have you
Verse 4
Well I count my blessings every night I pray
That the lord lets me keep you just one more day
And every day he does cause God knows too
That I wouldnt have nothing
If I didnt have you
(chorus & third verse)
Well Ive already said it but I swear its true
I know I wouldnt have nothing
If I didnt have you

Wouldnt Change A Thing About You

Philip bailey & frankie blue
If I were king and I ruled the world
I would make it safe for the boys and girls
Theres so much I would do
But I wouldnt change a thing about you
If the summer could last till spring
Or a fallen sparrow could sprout
New wings
Then Id change that too
But I wouldnt change a thing about you.
All the love that youve been giving
All the joy that weve been living
Through
I wouldnt change a thing about you
Bridge:
Too little love and too much hate
When times get tough
Looking for something cause
I just cant get enough
But when Im feeling down
Youre there to see me through
I wanna hold ya, touch ya
Give you love all the time
cause when Im with you, girl
I feel like the world is mine
Tell you baby, theres nothing
I wouldnt do for you
The sun comes out when I hear your name
I get butterfiles, do you feel the same?
Thats what love can do
No, I wouldnt change a thing about you
In this imperfect world were living
Perfect love like ours is rare, its true
No, I wouldnt change a thing about you
Bridge
If I were king and I ruled the world
I would make it safe for the boys and girls
Theres so much I would do
But I wouldnt change a thing about you
All the love that youve been giving
All the joy that weve been
Living through
I wouldnt change a thing about you
La la la la
La la la la
I wouldnt change a thing about you

Stand Inside Your Love

You and me
Meant to be
Immutable
Impossible
Its destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Insufferable
But for the last time
Youre everything that I want and ask for
Youre all that Id dreamed
Who wouldnt be the one you love
Who wouldnt stand inside your love
Protected and the lover of
A pure soul and beautiful you
Dont understand
Dont feel me now
I will breathe
For the both of us
Travel the world
Traverse the skies
Your home is here
Within my heart
And for the first time
I feel as though I am reborn
In my mind
Recast as child and mystic sage
Who wouldnt be the one you love
Who wouldnt stand inside your love
And for the first time
Im telling you how much I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound
In my time
Ill wrap my wire around your heart and your mind
Youre mine forever now
Who wouldnt be the one you love and live for
Who wouldnt stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldnt be the one you love

I've Seen The Devil (And He Looks Like You)

I've watched people in this world,
do evil things to each other,
I've seen them do evil things to the ones,
that they love and cherish,
but I never understood why they did,
the things that they do,

war to me is so useless,
couldn't we just find other ways,
to settle our differences,
except for trying to talk it out,
we put guns in the arms of our young ones,

Chorus: I've Seen The Devil,
and He looks like you,
I've Seen The Devil,
and he looks like you,
I've Seen The Devil,
and He Looks like you,

but do we really know what its all about,
do we really know why we do the things we do,
like going to war with one another,
trying to beat the devil that lives inside all of us,

I see the devil every single day,
I see him on the late night news,
and I see him on the covers of our magazines,
he tells us it’s going to be alright,
and that the wars going to be over,
only if we follow him,
and his un-holy union,

Chorus: I've Seen The Devil,
and He looks like you,
I've Seen The Devil,
and he looks like you,
I've Seen The Devil,
and He Looks like you,

but I don't see why we should,
follow you and your ways,
follow your path of destruction,
follow you and your destruction of the world,
why should we follow you,

you whisper stuff in our ears,
you say it’s going to be alright,
the next war that we fight will be the war of wars,
and we'll all die a Nuclear Holocaust,
and than we'll start a new,

The world would be new,
like back then when Jesus ruled,
when the world was new,
and not filled with your evilness,
and not filled with you,

Chorus: I've Seen The Devil,
and He looks like you,
I've Seen The Devil,
and he looks like you,
I've Seen The Devil,
and He Looks like you,

ever since time began we've been fighting,
fighting a war that we could never win,
a war within ourselves,
but the people in the world,
they fill us up with religious beliefs,
which is wrong,
and which is right,

we could never win the war within ourselves,
were so fed up with this world,
that we'd kill each other,
and ourselves to find a way out,

because we'd always knew that,
the children of today and the children of now,
would soon become,
children of the grave,
children of the darkness,
they'd become Satan's little soldiers,

Chorus: I've Seen The Devil,
and He looks like you,
I've Seen The Devil,
and he looks like you,
I've Seen The Devil,
and He Looks like you,

El Diablo

(lebon, rhodes, taylor)
Enter newborn players and gather, weigh their innocence
Only the brightest shine but not forever.
Many lights die, many tears rain,
When those tears run dry, on a mountain madness day.
You were just in time for a foolish deal, for love I sold -
I cant stand another howling day inside this empty skin.
While the becons burn Ill say
Await return from so far away..
One life, with the devil do I play
For so long, el diablo is to blame
Oh..oh..oh..
Oh el diablo, el diablo wont you sell me back my soul
Oh el diablo, el diablo wont you sell me back my soul
Wedding is on the wind does she blow my way?
She can dance and she can sing, she will tear your heart away.
While the promise burns Ill stay
And will you return from so far away?
One life within the devil do I play
Its been so long, el diablo is to blame
One life with the devil do I play
For so long, el diablo is to blame
One life, but the devil is in my ways
Oh..oh..oh

I Wish You Wouldnt Say That

I wish you wouldnt say that
I thought Id have to come right over
I thought I made it clear enough
I guess Ill have to make it clearer
Say something to change your mind
Bring me back the way I used to be
If it takes forever thats all right
Say the words that Ive been trying to hear
I wish you didnt tell her
I thought od have to come right over
I thought Id have to make it clearer
Now jimmys coming over
There are places that I wont forget
And I guess Im never going back
Guess its information that I lack
Ive told lies without a hint or regret
I wish you wouldnt say that
I wish you wouldnt say that
