Solitaire
There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference
A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
Within his silence
(*) and solitaires the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
And by himself its easy to pretend
Hell never love again
(**) and keeping to himself
He plays the game
Without her love
It always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
Hes playing solitaire
A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes
Goes without saying
There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command
The hand hes playing
Repeat (*)
Repeat (**)
Repeat (*)

There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love, thru his indifference
A heart that cared that went unshared
Until it died within his silence
And solitaire is the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
Hes playing solitaire
And keeping to himself, begins to deal
And still the king of hearts is well concealed
Another losing games comes to an end
And deals them out again
A little hope goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
There was a man, a lonely man
Who would command the hand hes playing
And solitaire is the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere

Solitaire
Carl nutter, renee borek, king guion
Since youve gone I spend each lonely night,
Dealing out the cards from left to right,
And the king of hearts is there to remind me
That Im all alone playing solitaire.
Love was just another game for two,
I see now thats all it meant to you,
And my heart got lost somewhere in the shuffle,
So Im all alone playing solitaire
In each romance theres an element of chance,
A gamble to win or to lose,
You play to win, then you find youre playing in a game with no rules,
Just made for fools.
Now, the joker has a laugh on me,
cause I played my hand so carelessly,
And until you wanna share that old feeling,
Ill be dealing time away with solitaire.
And until you want to share that old feeling,
Ill be dealing time away, dealing time away with solitaire.

You Dont Understand
1 - is it a game that were playing
It seems like the cloudy days
Keep coming in my life, whoa
Is it a game that were playing
You dont understand
Your love is taking over me
I know you wonder why I sometimes cry
When I should be happy (I should be happy)
To have you in my life (whoa)
But you dont understand the changes Ive been going through
Just to be happy
I need you by my side
(baby just spend some time)
Repeat 1
Sometimes we said wed try to make it right
But so many other things are getting in the way
(in the way) all we got to do is lean on each other to make it happen
Theres nothing more left to say
(nothing that we can say)
2 - and Im going crazy
(ahh..)
Trying to do it by myself
But I really need your help
(badapadapada)
Baby please (oh baby please) listen to me
Im down on my knees (yeah)
Baby please (yeah) dont walk away (oh)
Repeat 1
Repeat 2

If you love me baby just let your feelings show

The Flame Of Love
Nobody told me
Every moment without you would seem so long
I get so lonely
And the nights have been so cold since youve been gone
Did I go and make believe the way you touched me
Was it real or just a game my mind was playing, tell me
Was it the flame of love
Or was it just my imagination
Was it the flame of love
Or an act of desperation
Its amazing
How a love could feel so good then fade away
And replacing you with someone else is a game my heart wont play
Cause I know Ill never feel the heat thats in your soul
But I cant remember how I lost complete control
Tell me
Repeat chorus
How could I know youd ever go
Taking my dreams away with you
You lead me along
You did me wrong
I cant go on now, baby

Solitair, a teacher
Solitaire is a card game
Developed for playing
By self with no opponent
The fact is you are
Playing your own self
This is what
Solitaire teaches you
You shuffle cards
You distribute them
Upside down
Over eight or ten rows
Not knowing which card
Lays where and in what order
Keeping only the top layer open
You start arranging
Cards in descending order
As you move an open card
The card immediately under
Opens up
The card opening up may or may ot be
Matching your requirements
While opening up card
Depends on your luck
Card moving is totally
Left to you and
A lot depends on your skill
But you keep playing
Till the time either you win
By accumulating suits in order
Or when you get stuck
With no more moving of cards possible
And you lose the game
Life is like that only
And as in solitaire you play it alone
Though you seemingly have partners
And you must know that
You are all alone playing your game
You act on visible opportunities
And as you act upon this
New venues opening up
One by one
Either to your surprise or shock
Still you keep playing the game of life
Expecting each time when you act
There will be favourable changes
And with further scopes for gaining
The only difference is that
You quit the game in solitaire
But in life the game leaves you
At its discretion
Leaving you to wonder
Whether you are a winner or loser

Anyone Can Do The Heartbreak
Take another step
tell another lie
hide another tear
in the corner of your eye
I don't understand
what kind of game is this we're playing
dancin' in the dark
shadow's in the night
slowly going wrong
trying to make it right
the silence is so loud
I can't hear the words we're saying
CHORUS:
Anyone can do the heartbreak
everybody knows the dance
oh it's so easy to do
you tear a dream in two
to kill a true romance
anyone can do the heartbreak
anyone can make love end
it's gonna take a little pain
some fire and some rain
to bring it back again
I know you're afraid
baby so am I
you think you're going to fall
all you want to do is fly
we're up against the wall
and love is the chance we're taking
so baby look into my heart
tell me can't you see
I belong with you
you belong with me
when I hold you in my arms
we can hear the music playing
REPEAT CHORUS
And it's one step forward
and two steps back
well we keep on moving
but we're only losing ground
we've got to turn this love around
REPEAT CHORUS 2X
(fade out)

It's All In The Game
Its All in the Game
(Nat King Cole Album: Love is the Thing)
Many a tear has to fall
But its all in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know as love
You have words with him
And your futures looking dim
But these things your heart can rise above
Once in a while he wont call
But its all in the game
Soon hell be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet
And hell kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your heart will fly away
(Repeat)

You Cant Hurry Love
You cant hurry love
I need love, love to ease my
Mind
I need to find, find someone to
Call mine
But mama said you cant hurry
Love
No, youll just have to
Wait
She said love dont come easy
Its a game of give and take
I cant hurry love, no, youll
Just have to wait
Just trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
How many heartaches must i
Stand
Before I find the love to let
Me live again
Right now the only thing that keeps
Me hanging on
When I feel my strength, yeah its
Almost gone
I remember mama said
You cant hurry love
No youll just have to wait
She said love dont come easy
Its a game of give and take
How long must I wait, how much more
Must I take
Before lonliness, will cause my
Heart, heart to break?
No, I cant bear to lve my
Life alone
I grow impatient for a love to
Call my own
But when I feel that i, i
Cant go on
These precious words keep me
Hangin on
I remember mama sayin you cant
Hurry love
No, youll just have to
Wait
She said love dont come easy
Its a game of give and take
I cant hurry love
No, youll just have to
Wait
She said trust, give it
Time
No matter how long it takes,
Gotta wait!
No love, love dont come
Easy
But I keep on waiting
Anticipating for that soft
Voice
To talk to me at night
For some tender arms to hold me
Tight
I keep waiting, I keep on
Waiting
But it aint easy (it aint
Easy)
No, you know it aint easy
When mama said
You cant hurry love
No, youll just have to
Wait
She said, trust give it time, no
Matter how long it takes
She said love dont come easy its a
Game of give and take

End Of The Road (Instrumental)
spoken)
Girl you know we belong together
I have no time for you to be playing with my heart like this
You'll be mine forever baby, you just see
We belong together
And you that I'm right
Why do you play with my heart,
Why do you play with my mind?
Said we'd be forever
Said it'd never die
How could you love me and leave me and never say good-bye?
When I can't sleep at night without holding you tight
Girl, each time I try I just break down and cry
Pain in my head oh I'd rather be dead
Spinnin' around and around
CHORUS:
Although we've come to the End Of The Road
Still I can't let you go
It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Come to the End of the Road
Still I can't let you go
It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Girl, I know you really love me,
You just don't realize
You've never been there before
It's only your first time
Maybe I'll forgive you, hmm
Maybe you'll try
We should be happy together forever, you and I
Can you love me again like you loved me before
This time I want you to love me much more
This time instead just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me, don't let me down
REPEAT CHORUS.
(spoken)
Girl I'm here for you
All those times of night when you just hurt me
And just run out with that other fella
Baby I knew about it, I just didn't care
You just don't understand how much I love you do you?
I'm here for you
I'm not out to go out and cheat on you all night
Just like you did baby but that's all right
Hey, I love you anyway
And I'm still gonna be here for you 'till my dying day baby
Right now, I'm just in so much pain baby
Coz you just won't come back to me
Will you? Just come back to me
(Lonely)
Yes baby my heart is lonely
(Lonely)
My heart hurts baby
(Lonely)
I feel pain too
Baby please
This time instead just come to my bed
And baby just don't let me down

You Got The Deal
I lived my life one way too long.
Deal me straight, I can't go wrong.
A gambler's fate's in the cards he takes,
And now I know it's just a mistake.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
You got the . . .
Left our dreams on a lonely road.
Come back here with a heavy load.
Fight our best when the chips are down.
You go your way, and I'll win this round.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
LEAD BREAK
You live your life for the dollar sign.
And all that you've made,
You're just buying time.
But time takes it toll,
It don't care who you are
You know you're marked for life
With your empty heart.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
I don't know the game,
But you got the deal.
Don't know the game,
But you got the deal.

My Love Is With You
I was just walking down the street
Looking forward to seeing the friends I was to meet
Yet what happened so tragically
Really makes for no sense at all
Suddenly two guys confronted me
Saying I was on the wrong turf, angrily
They said their colors were black but I was wearing gray
I started to turn to go back
They up and blew me away
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are (repeat)
Though my life theyve taken
They cant take what weve shared
Spread the love Ive given
And Ill be there
I was out playing with my friends
You know, doing those silly things kids do at ten
But the crossfire I was caught in
Should not have been in the first place
A dropped monte carlo came to a screech
Someone yelled nobody gets away with dissen me
Across the street a man pulled his nine
Everybody started to run
A shower of bullets rang out
Mistakenly my life was done, oh
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are (repeat)
Though my life theyve taken
They cant take what weve shared
Spread the love Ive given
Ill be there
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are (repeat)
When youre joyful
When youre lonely
When youre happy
When tears are streamin right down your face
In the morning
In the noon time
In the evening
In the wee wee hours of the nighttime hour
In the summer
In the springtime
In the autumn
In the cold long winter, winter nights
My love is with you
My love is with you my best friend
My love is with you my brother
My love is with you my sister
My love is with you my mother
My love is with you my father
Im with you - (repeat)

Daytime Friends
(dieter bohlen)
Producers for bonnie: dieter bohlen & luis rodriguez
Some friends you lose
Some friends you win
Time will heal the pain
I would give up everything
To hold you once again
Sorry doesnt make it right
And tears are not enough
I cant take these lonely nights
And shadows from this love
*we are daytime friends
And night-time fools
Oh nobody takes the place of you
Oh a woman is a mans best friend
Oh in this world, baby
** we are daytime friends
And night-time fools
Oh baby, breakin up is hard to do
I have golden days
And restless lonely nights
With you, darlin (baby)
Oh heaven knows where heaven is
How does this love survive
Try a little tenderness
To keep this love alive
Nights begin to drive me down
Its waiting in my heart
Oh love it makes the world go round
But were so far apart
(*repeat)
(* *repeat)
Im missin your sweet tender kiss
Im missin you tonight, babe
All I wants your sweet caress
Theres nothing left to hide, baby

Whatever It Takes
Just like a breath of spring,
You came to me
And Id tried to win you back
Since Ive set you free
**(will you break the rules? )
If I gotta
(will you play the fool? )
Every time**
*and Ill do whatever it takes
And whatever the stakes
I will play, no, gonna get you someday*
Seems you dont realize,
What youve got till its gone
And if you just close your eyes,
It wont be too long
Till the one you love,
Starts to leave you
Till she finds her way,
Out the door
(*repeat)
Down on the boulevard
Searchin so hard just to find you
The movie stars in the sidewalk squares
Seem to stare and remind you
(**repeat)

And Ill do whatever I can
Just to see you again
Night and day,
If thats what it takes
To see you again
If thats what it takes.
To see you again (repeat and fade)

Best Man
I was getting fed up
With all your dipping out with every girl around town
You know what I'm talking 'bout
Cause you've been caught
And I forgave you many times
But now I slipped up
And while your friend was around
I gave him a taste of my love
I know that I broke your trust for a night of lust
But don't let that break us up
1 - Charge it to the game baby
I know what's going on when you say your alone
And you won't pick up the phone
Charge it to the game baby
You can't even hate
Don't get up in my face
Cause your boy got a taste
2 - He is your best man, your best friend
I guess you didn't know that I had him
I know that you hate that
It's like that
You were the best but yet he ain't so bad
Repeat 2
I needed a shoulder to cry on
But I got more than a shoulder that night
I know that you're mad and you're angry
Who gives a damn?
You didn't treat me right
You know that I love you
More than anything, you are the center of my life
It was just tit for tat, a little pay back
Let it go and leave it like that
Repeat 1
Repeat 2 (2x)
So many times you broke my heart
I never thought that it would heal
So I decided to return the pain
You always make me feel
Now I won't try to justify
What I did but I'll tell you why
If you think someone else is in my life
Then maybe you'll treat me right, yeah

With Your Love
Won this day... to be standing here with you
There's no doubt... i know this love is true
See my tears... only you can understand
A state of grace... i feel blessed to hold your hand
There's a room in my heart and you've unlocked a door
That no one's ever opened before
Chorus:
With your love i'm not alone...
In your world... i'm never far away from home
A life i thought i'd never find...
In your eyes i see all that i am with your love
On my own... i searched for something more
In your arms... the kiss i've waited for
I was lost for words... to say what's in my heart
Just to be close ... to the beauty that you are
If someone could see to the end of our lives
I know they'd find me there by your side
Repeat chorus
I've walked among the lonely...
Watching lovers come and go
Fate finds us here as one... you are salvation to my soul
Repeat chours
With your love
With your love

Let It Rain
Two lovers in a desperate game
She holds him close but their loves in vain
And the married man that you laid
Goes back home to his own charade
She puts her faith in every word he said
Tender moments in a motel bed
When you press the point he says well see
But then walks to his mystery
* so darling you tell me its a wild world
You gotta take a little pain and
How long will love last that you can
Never, never explain
** do you just
Let it rain, let it rain
Dont stop those tears falling again just
Let it rain, let it rain
Now you see that loves just a game
In his arms time goes so fast
But stolen love will never last
You try to keep him though you know its wrong
This kind of love can only last so long

All now is all that matters anyhow

Leave your sadness behind
Make believe it's your first time
And i'll make believe it's mine

This moment's ours
Tonigh's the night
And if we fall in love
Well, that's alright

And hold me close
And let our hearts pretend

And it might never end
