The Best Of Whats Around
Hey my freind
It seems your eyes are troubled
Care to share your time with me
Would you say youre feeling low and so
A good idea would be to get it off your mind
See, you and me
Have a better time than most can dream
Have it better than the best
So can pull on through
Whatever tears at us
Whatever holds us down
And if nothing can be done
Well make the best of whats around
Turns out not where but who youre with
That really matters
And hurts not much when youre around
And if you hold on tight
To what you think is your thing
You may find youre missing all the rest
Well she run up into the light suprised
Her arms are open
Her minds eye is
Seeing things from a
Better side than most can dream
On a clearer road I feel
Oh you could say shes safe
Whatever tears at her
Whatever holds her down
And if nothing can be done
Shell make the best of whats around

Hey my friend, it seems your eyes are troubled.
Care to share your time with me?
Would you say you're feeling low and so
A good idea would be to get it off your mind?
See you and me have a better time than most can dream
Have it better than the best
So can pull on through
Whatever tears at us, whatever holds us down
And if nothing can be done
We'll make the best of what's around.
Turns out not where but who you're with that really matters, that really matters
And hurts not much when you're around, when you're around
And if you hold on tight to what you think is your thing
You may find you're missing all the rest.
She ran up into the light, surprised,
Her arms are open. Her minds eye is
Seeing things from a better side than most can dream
On a clearer road I feel, oh you could say she's safe.
Whatever tears at her, whatever holds her down
And if nothing can be done,
She'll make the best of what's around.
Turns out not where but what you think that really matters, that really matters, that really matters, that really matters. Yeah....
See you and me, have a better time than most can dream,
Have it better than the best, so can pull on through.
Whatever tears at us, whatever holds us down,
And if nothing can be done,
We'll make the best of what's around.
Turns out not where but who you're with that really matters, that really matters.
And hurts not much when you're around, when you're around. Hey, la la...
Hold on... We'll make the best of what's around

Youre Gonna Get Whats Coming
(robert palmer)
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in awhile I get taken like that
And I like it
Ive got a thunderbird parked right outside
Give me a minute to finish this thing
And well light it.
In all this heat its a job keeping cool
Oh yeah
And I could fry an egg on you
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in awhile I get taken like that
And I like it
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
I hope that youre half as intrepid
As you make out
More often than not, Ill bet
You never got what you asked for
Keep on pouring until you hear me shout
And turn up the sound
If you want me to drive any faster
Caution went out when you walked in the room
If it never came back it would be too soon
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in awhile I get taken like that
And I like it
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming

Whats So Bad About Feeling Good?
(feldman / hues / chandler)
Youre awake as dawn breaks, another day
And the grey clouds weep how you feel
But the way she touch you just bring you back to life
Dont let them bury your soul in concrete and steel
Chorus:
So whats so bad about feeling good?
Whats so bad, whats so bad?
Whats so bad about feeling good?
Whats so bad, whats so bad?
Why hold back when you know you should
Break the chains of your life and start
Fee------ling good
As were walking home theres a whispering
From the city lights to the stars
And the way she move her body next to me
In her hair I breathe the air of venus and mars
Whats so bad about feeling good?
Whats so bad, whats so bad?
Why hold back when you know you should
Break the chains of your life and start feeling good
Whats so bad about feeling good?
Break the chains of your life and start feeling good
Dream on, dream on
If youre happy feeling sad
Dream on, dream on
bout the things you could have had
Then tell me what -----
Tell me whats so good about feeling bad?

Under Suspicion
(b. tyler/p. hopkins/p. oxendale)
Producer for bonnie: jim steinman
I put my trust in you cos Im not the suspicious kind
But it seems to me that theres someone on your mind
And maybe Im wrong and maybe theres some mistake
But I wont take any chances, Im watching every move you make
I never felt so scared and helpless before
I wish I could believe in you but I just gotta be sure
Youre under suspicion all of the time
Youre under suspicion all of the time
When we talk I can see you cant look me straight in the eye
Whats all the secrecy, you got me wondering why
Is it someone you met that could make you regret your decision
How could you forget all our plans and all our ambitions
Dont try to pull the wool right over my eyes
You think youre pretty smart but I can see right through your disguise
Youre under suspicion all of the time
Youre under suspicion all of the time
Instrumental
Youre under suspicion all of the time
Youre under suspicion all of the time
Youre under suspicion all of the time
Youre under suspicion
Instrumental
Youre under suspicion all of the time
Youre under suspicion all of the time

And everything you do will turn out alright

Which One Of Them
The girl at the bar she bought me a beer
And shed like to know if Im new around here
And the gal that I danced with says shes all alone
Her friends have all left and she needs a ride home
Oh and there have been others who gave me the eye
But if they only knew they were wasting their time
Cause theres only one lover I can give my heart to
But you didnt want it and you broke it in two
(chorus)
(so tell me) which one of them will be you tonight
Oh which one will hold me in your arms so tight
Ive forgotten whats wrong, given up on whats right
(tell me) which on of them will be you tonight
So Ill just smile and pretend and shell never know
Who shes up against when shes holdin me close
Youre all that I want, girl, youre all that I need
And when I close my eyes, honey youre all I see

All I Need
Some men need riches and lots of money to spend
Some men need power to hold over other men
But not me baby, girl you can believe
Im telling you my darling
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
In this world, girl
Some men need fine clothes, big diamond rings
To feel like somebody some men need expensive things
But I feel like somebody, girl, every time you look at me
I dont need nothing to remind me that
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
In this world, girl
Some men need a fine home on a far hillside
Some men need a big car to show off as they ride
Some men need a pretty woman just to walk by their side
And some men need to see the fear in another mans eyes
But all I need baby, is all I can see
When you wrap your loving arms around me
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
In this world, girl

Make Up Your Mind
Make up your mind.
You couldnt make me anymore crazy
than I could stand to be.
So wont you just sympathize with me.
And all the things I do to make you angry with me.
Whats wrong with me today?
You say, I leave you all alone.
Every time you call me.
As if you needed reason to fall down.
I know this must be hard for you to understand.
And all this waiting takes too long for me.
Make up your mind.
[ Chorus ]
You dont even know, whats good for you.
You better keep your eyes on me.
Maybe youre oblivious inside.
And its scary that you dont know.
Your chances fade away.
Fade away sometimes.
Maybe youre oblivious inside.
No you cant deny me.
And I dont want to see you go away.
You get angry when I ask whats on your mind.
I should have been asking you whats been up your sleeve this whole time.
Cause now I know youre dangerous.
And I know youre dangerous, but somehow youre contagious.
Make up your mind.

No, you cant deny me. No, you cant deny me.
Cause I dont want to see you go away.

Livin In America
Straight outta school but still just a fool
Thought the streets were paved with gold
He moved off the block and
Found he was lost
In a world hed never known
He had to hustle so he could pay the rent
Played all the aces and wound up president
You see its okay
Got to find your own way
Keep on trying all day
And you know your time will come
Youll get your chance to run
Youre livin in america
Youre livin in the home of the dream
Youre livin in america
Just make it what you want it to be
Soap opera child with hope in her eyes
Lookin for a starrin role
She came into town and acted the clown
Had a long, long way to go
Waitin on tables and pumpin gasoline
She served and agent,
Now shes a movie queen
You see its okay
Got to find your own way
Keep on tryin all day
And you know the time will come
For each and everyone
Youre livin in america
Youre livin in the home of the dream
Youre livin in america
Just make it what you want it to be
Youll stand alone on a long hard road
With a crowd that you cant see
Just start by steppin out
Then let your mind run free
Youre livin in america
Youre livin in the home of the dream
Youre livin in america
Just make it what you want it to be
Its okay
Youre livin in the usa
Find your dream
You know that dream can set
You free
Its okay
Were part of the united state
You and me
Can be just what we wanna be
Hes okay
He left the block and reached
The top
Shes all right
The agent put her name in lights
Hes okay
Hes paid his rent hes president
Shes all right
Shes on your tv screen tonight

Whenever Youre Gone
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
I cant go any further now, only if you come with me
Only if you can take my hand and hold me in your arms
If you come and look into my eyes, iii see it all more clearly
All of the tears youve seen my cry
Youll take them all away
If you come and open up my eyes and hold me
Take me away and ease my mind
Just come and hold me tight
Chorus:
Whenever youre gone its lonely
Whenever youre gone I cant face the light of day
Its too many times Ive been on my own
With a burning in my heart
Whenever youre gone
Look at the face you see before you, cant you be open to me
Cant you believe what we have, dont throw it away
Believe in me now dont criticize, its only the beginning
Cant you believe these desperate eyes, believe in what we say
If you came and open up me eyes and hold me
Then I can open up my mind, and I will hold you tight
Chorus
I miss you so, and friends dont understand when I dont want to speak
When youre gone I feel so alone
And I cant sleep for crying, and deep inside I feel like dying

A Really Good Time
(ferry)
Youre heard enough
Of the blues and stuff
Youre pretty swell now
cause youre pretty tough
But I dont have to tell you
How hard it can be to get by
You never bothered
About anyone else
Youre well educated
With no common sense
But love - thats one thing
You really need to get by
All your troubles
Come from yourself
Nobody hurts you
- they dont care
Just as long as you show them
A really good time
All the things
You used to do
A trip to the movies
A drink or two
They dont satisfy you
They dont tell you anything new
You know I dont talk much
Except to myself
cause ive not much to say
And theres nobody else
Whos ready and willing
And able to know me - I guess
Listen to me
Im not finished yet
Theres something to tell you
That I cant forget
Just have a really good time
Theres a girl
I used to know
Her face is her fortune
Shes got a heart of gold
She never goes out much
But boy - when she does
Then you know
Shes got no money
Well, maybe a dime
But she knows what shes worth
And thats reason why
Shes gonna make it
Shes got what it takes
Youll appreciate that
Shes probably late
But I know
And you know
We all know
Shell have a really good time

Love Has A Mind Of Its Own
Think about me and you
Think of all the changes weve
Been through
The laughter an the tears, the
Years together
Little did we both know
When we fell we gave up all control
Though times get hard
Were strong enough to carry on
cause
Love has a mind of its own
It moves in its own circles
And it roams where it will roam
Love has a mind of its own
It holds our lives together
Youre my heart, youre my home
(I) stayed awake last night
Told myself that this time we were
Through
That passion wasnt pair, my heart
Had changed
But then in the morning light
The feeling cut me like a knife
And then I knew
I couldnt walk away from you
cause
Love has a mind of its own
It moves in its own circles
And it roams where it will roam
Love has a mind of its own
It holds our lives together
Youre my heart, youre my home
We can drive ourselves so far apart
The world gets in between
Before you know, the distance grows
Till never we lose sight of the dream
But the wonder of it all
Is how love will survive
It never fails to keep us going
It never fails to keep us alive
cause
Love has a mind of its own
It moves in its own circles
And it roams where it will roam
Love has a mind of its own
It holds our lives together
Youre my heart, youre my home
Love has a mind of its own
It moves in its own circles
And it roams where it will roam
Love has a mind of its own
It holds our lives together
Youre my heart, youre my home

Changin Times
When I was younger I used to understand
That when youre with a girl, you gotta act like a man
Mama told me thats the way it should be
And I know my mama never lied to me.
What do you think about youre changin times
cause when Im with you I just cant make up my mind
Since I met you dont know right from wrong
Somebody tell me just whats goin on
Just cant get myself thinkin straight
Im all shook up and in a terrible state
Sometimes I think I got it all figured out
Then you do something new and it just knocks me right out
Someday baby Im going to have to make a stand
The way that you treat me baby
Dont make me feel too much like a man
And baby, baby, the changes youre goin through
Youre drivin me half crazy
Cant make up my mind what to do about you.
Tellin myself that time is on my side
Youre gettin this feelin that my minds on the slide
Dumped on the floor, I feel Im trapped in a spin
Dont know how to end, cant think of where to begin
She dont care I know she dont even try
But when she turns it on
You know she gets me so high.
Shes a lady thats making my life a sin
You know that Im runnin in a losin race
There aint no way I can win
Baby, baby, the changes youre goin through
Theyre drivin me half crazy
Cant make up my mind what to do about you.

Downside Of Love
R.sambora
Theres a danger of getting so close to you
There comes a time
When the walls fade away
And when love turns to bitter blue
Sometimes it feels like its so hard to stay
Last night we went to bed angry
We didint mean what we said
Seems we never get past forgiveness
We try to hide, we never learn
To swallow our pride.
On the down side of love
Where the love turns to hate
We just cant relate
On the down side of love
When youre misunderstood
cause when it hurts you
It hurts you so good.
Baby life has no guarantee
Never knowing where loves gonna lead
Even through youre a part of me
We have to deal with our pain separately
Sometimes we both feel like victims
With no easy way out not, no, no
Somehow we stand by each other
When were desperate, and drowning in
The shadows of doubt.
On the down side of love
Where the love turns to hate
We just cant relate
On the down side of love
cause when it hurts you
It hurts you so good.
The times we share the tenderness
Are the times that keep us alive
You get in my face, you rough me up
But baby you know
Cant hurt me nough, to give you up
And make me let go
Make me let got oh no, no.
When youre on the down side of love
Where the love turns to hare
We just cant relate
On the down side of love
When youre misunderstood
cause when it hurts you
It hurts you so good.
Downside of love
Loves just a long, long road baby
Yes theres a down side of love
Stand by my side baby
When youre on the downside of love
No, no, no
Downside of love
cause its a long, long road baby
Downside of love.

How my life would be
If you were here with me
What a beautiful fantasy
Early in the morning
I find myself with tears in my eyes
From a dream that youre featured in
And it hurts deep inside
To know that you wont let me in to your life
And I wonder why
Im going crazy
I keep thinking about your foolish smile
Here I go I just cant stop

All the time
Im dreamin of all the joy we could have baby

For your heart
Im dreamin of all the love that we could share
Its my decision
To leave you now
Just because it hurts too much
Knowing youll never give enough
But how I long to
Experience the magic of your touch again
Now youre always on my mind
I just cant stop

Im dreamin of all the time we could have baby

Youre making me want you so bad
Im watching you walk away
But I wish I could make you stay

Is baby baby to dream of you
I wake up in the morning thinking bout you baby
All the time and the time that we could be together yeah
