Im Not Foolin
(bonnie tyler/ paul hopkins/ peter oxendale)
Producer for bonnie: peter oxendale
Recorded in 1988 as a b-side for the single hide your heart. lyrics taken from careful listening.
Now Ive known for a while
Theres been something going on
And Ive been getting the impression
That Im not the only one
And if thats the way you want it
Than youll have to make a-new
So listen til I tell you
Just what Im gonna do
I dont want you to lie to me
cause I wont take it anymore
And if I find that youve cheat on me
Im just gonna walk right out the door
(chorus)
Im not foolin
Im not foolin anymore
Ive got my eyes wide open
Gonna even up the score
Im not foolin
No, Im not foolin
Im not foolin
Oh no anymore
I cant stop thinking how
You hurt me once before
And Im acting kinda crazy
cause I feel so insecure
cause I gave you all the loving
That a man could ever need
Im a one-man-woman
Thats the way Ill always be
You gotta try to understand
Why its just gotta be this way
And if you know whats good for you
Youd better take notice of what I say
(repeat chorus 6 times...and ad libs)

Foolin
Lady luck never smiles
So lend your love to me awhile
Do with me what you will
Break the spell take your fill
On and on we rode the storm
The flame has died and the fire has gone
Oh, this empty bed is a night alone
I realized that long ago
Is anybody out there, anybody there
Does anybody wonder, anybody care
Oh, I just gotta know
If youre really there and you really care
Cause baby Im not
F-f-f-foolin, ah f-f-foolin
F-f-f-foolin, ah f-f-foolin
Wont you stay with me awhile
Close your eyes dont run and hide
Easy love is no easy ride
Just wakin up from what we had
Could stop good love from going bad
Is anybody out there, anybody there
Does anybody wonder, anybody care
Oh, I just gotta know
If youre really there and you really care

Recorded in 1986 as a b-side for the singles rebel without a clue and lovers again. lyrics taken from careful listening.
Now I want to say something
Something thats been on my mind
Its really very simple
But the words arent easy to find
You know you can depend on me
Ill be anything you want me to be
Anything you choose
You know I couldnt refuse
I never felt so much loving
Didnt know that I could feel this way
Im not a yes kind of woman
But I d do anything you say
We dont have to scream and shout it
We dont have to tell the world about it
Its easy when you feel the way I do
Oh, I do it for you, and only you
You know I do it for you, and only you
I do it for you, oh yeah
I do it for you, only you
If you lose your direction
And you cant seem to find your way
You wont have to worry
cause Ill be right with you, anyway
To guide you through the darkest nights
I was there, holding you tight
Im the lover who can always pull you through
Ooh, I do it for you, and only you
I do it for you, and only you
You know I do it for you, just for you
You know I do it for you, only you
Oh baby
Oh Im gonna be so good for you
Id fight the world single-handed
If you wanted me to
No-ones gonna stop me
No-one better try
And if its just a case of do or die
You know I do it for you, and only you
You know I do it for you, only you
I do it for you, Id do anything for you

Who Do You Think Youre Foolin

Youre one of the sights
You hang out with those big names
A rising star out on the gain
Thats the price of your fame

Producer for bonnie: peter oxendale
Recorded in 1988 as a b-side for the single notes from america. lyrics taken from careful listening.
When I wake up, in the morning
And I turn around and youre not there
Oh it hurts to know youre still so far away
Though I know deep inside you still care
And I want you, ooh, really want you
Oh, anyway and anyhow
Ive waited such a long time for your sweet love
And I need you back home with me now
cause its not enough to say that you love me
And its not enough to say that you care
And its not enough when you say that you need me
If I wake up and still youre not there
And its not enough to say that you love me
Its not enough to say that you care
And its not enough when you say that you need me
If I wake up and still youre not there
Oh do you care?
Oh, please believe me, its not easy
When youre so many miles from home
Oh I need you here to hold and comfort me
Im so tired of being alone
cause its not enough to say that you love me
And its not enough to say that you care
And its not enough when you say that you need me
If I wake up and still youre not there
You gotta try to understand
That a woman like me just needs a man to love
(oh, yes she does)
I know you love me loud and clear but if youre not here
Its not enough, you know...
Its not enough to say that you love me
And its not enough to say that you care
And its not enough to say that you need me
If I wake up and still youre not there
Its not enough to say that you love me
Its not enough to say that you care
And its not enough when you say that you need me
If I wake up and still youre not there
If I wake up and still youre not there, oh

What I need

But you sure got a lot to gain
Come on, come on, come on
Im ready to go
It takes a whole lot of loving
To put out the fire below
Ooh, the fire below
The fire below
It takes a whole of loving
To put out the fire below

Now, you know I aint fooling
And I wont take no messing around
Come on, come on, come on
Im ready to go
It takes a whole lot of loving
To put out the fire below

Foolin Myself

Seems so crazy, but I guess its true
Girl, youve really got a hold on me
Well Ive been hurt before
So now I must be sure
Are you feelin it too
Maybe this time its true
Or am I foolin myself
Once again
Ive got to know for sure
That Im not foolin myself
Once again
cause I couldnt stand the pain
Findin out it really wasnt true
I was foolin myself
Into lovin you
If youre still in love with someone else
Girl, you know its gonna break my heart
But I just cant let go
So now Ive got to know
Is it love that you feel
Maybe this time its real
Or am I foolin myself
Once again
Ive got to know for sure
That Im not foolin myself
Once again
cause I couldnt stand the pain
Findin out it really wasnt true
I was foolin myself
Into lovin you
Am I foolin myself
Once again
Ive got to know for sure

Findin out it really wasnt true

Only Foolin

When were round at a friends house
You act so precious and cool
Tell her Im nothin special at all
Just somebody whos passin through
Just sombody whos passin through
And here I am tryin to tell you again
But you just dont understand
That we could be somethin special I know
If youd only let go -- take a chance
Just try it once -- take a chance
But were only -- were only foolin
You know that we are -- were only foolin
Tell me what are you gonna do
About a fool whos in love with you
What are you gonna do
When we go out on a saturday night
Feel like Im stringin along
I ask you where are we going from here
You know but youre not lettin on babe
Well you know but youre not lettin on
So here we are at the crossroads
Between better or worse
You tellin me Im too serious babe
And one of use is gonna get hurt
Why do I always get hurt
But were only -- were only foolin
You know that we are -- were only foolin
Tell me what are you gonna do
About a fool whos in love with you
What are you gonna do

You Ain't Foolin' Nobody
(Vince Gill / Reed Nielson)
Why don't you come clean, baby
I know what you're goin' through
You must think I'm some kind of crazy
Well, honey I'm just worried 'bout you.
You look so much like your mama
And I'm sorry for you that she's gone
And if she was here she sould tell ya
Don't lose sight of what's right or what's wrong.
Chorus:
'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause baby, teh talk gets around
You ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause you're lovin' in this one horse town.
Well, I hope your conscience is listening
When you're out runnin' at night
All it takes is one bad decision
To haunt you the rest of your life.
Chorus:
'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause baby, teh talk gets around
You ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause you're lovin' in this one horse town.

Foolin Myself
Peter tinturin / jack lawrence
I try to keep you out of my heart
But somehow I find
Trying to keep you out of my heart
Im out of my mind
I tell myself Im through with you
And Ill having nothing more to do with you
I stay away, but every day
Im just foolin myself
Tell my friends that I dont care
I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair
But all know it ist so
Im just foolin myself
And evry time I pass
And see my face in a looking glass
I tip my hat and say
How do you do, you fool
Youre trowing your life away
Im acting gay
Im acting proud
And every time I see you in a crowd
I may pretend
But in the end
Im just foolin myself

You let me follow you around
It helped your status in the town
Well I didnt know your name
Theres no truth in what you claim
So I think you better stop this foolin round
I think its called a lesson learned
When one so close suddenly turns
Leaves you standing on your own
Got no place to call your home
So I think you better stop this foolin round
Now its my time to make amends
Hope my message dont offend
And I hope this doesnt drive you round the bend
Leaves you standing on your own
Got no place to call your home
So I think you better stop this foolin round

Yes, I think you better stop this foolin round

Cant Get Over You
Ive heard it said before,
That you dont care no more,
You just pick up tracks,
And dont look back,
And walk right out that door.
I tell my friends its easy,
Shes never on my mind.....
My life is so much better
Since that day I said good-bye
And i tell myself Im free
But Im only foolin me
Cause no matter what I do...
I cant get over you
Well I tried to hide my pain,
With a taste of fast lane,
But aint no use... to shake you loose...
I still feel the same
I thought I could forget you
But that was just a lie,
Im just not the same without you...
I dont even want to try....
And i tell myself Im free
But Im only foolin me
Cause no matter what I do...
I cant get over you
I cant get over you
Solo:
Bridge:
I dont know how it started
I dont know where I stand
I just want to be back in your arms once again
And i tell myself Im free
But Im only foolin me
Cause no matter what I do...

I cant get over you
I cant get over you

A-a-a-a-ah, she said I seem to be o.k.
A-a-a-a-ah, she said
Paul, you better look around
How long you think that you can
Run that body down?
How many nights you think that you can
Do what you been do-o-in
Who, now who you foolin?
I came back home and I went to bed
Ah, I was resting my head
My wife came in and she said
Whats wrong, sweet boy, whats wrong?
Ah, I told her whats wrong
I said peg, you better look around
How long you think that you can
Run that body down?
How many nights you think that you can
Do what you been do-o-in
Who-o, now, who you foolin?

How long you think that you can

Verse 1
Why'd you tell me this

And I can tell - I can tell darling...
Tell her... tell her that I love you

Starlight, I hear you callin out to me.
Sweet love rollin across my mind again.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.
You gotta stop foolin around,
Keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
And starlight will shine all around, little girl.
Starlight, your eyes are lookin out so far away.
Constellation in the sky is smiling down on me, I wonder, wonder why.
I can feel youre so real, I can see youre so near
And the you run.
You gotta stop foolin around,
Keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
And starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.
Moonglow, come light the way up to my window.
As you roll across the night dont tell noby that I told you so.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.
You gotta stop foolin around,
Keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
And starlight will shine all around, little girl.
You had me all the summer long, little girl.

Im sat here all alone
Here in my one room home
No one comes round no more
No one knocks on my door
Was high, then came the fall
The tax man took it all
I didnt play the rules
I was a careless fool
But its gonna get better
Feel it in my bones
Just got to hold you cause Im all alone
I need your touch
I need you here to stay
This time Ill never let you get away
They laughed at all my jokes
Look around, where are those crazy folks?
I think of real good times
Those wasted partying nights
Just bring your loving home
Dont waste love on the phone
I love you yes its true
Hells what Ive been going through
Therell be more ups and downs
Please make that turn around
Not that weve played away
Youre coming home to stay
And its gonna get better
Feel it in my bones
Just got to hold you cause Im all alone

Never ever gonna let you get away
