Gamble Either Way
Being born was the worse and the first mistake I ever made
The doctor didnt spank me, he just slapped me in the face
And the cup of love was always quenching someone elses thirst
Leaving me to swallow the bitter taste of hurt
cause I was raised an orphan
Never wanted as a kid until the year I turned 13
Then everybody did, strangers pass me back and forth
Men just took me as they pleased
And others had a cinderella slave to cook and clean and weep
Chorus:
Though the deck is stacked against you
Win or lose, you have to play
The hand a life has dealt you
And its a gamble either way
On a dust road at 15 in a yellow cotton dress
With the desert sun like an angry dragon breathing down my neck
And the dry cracked plains would make me think of a prehistoric time
Or should I fear what lay before me less than what Id left behind
A 15 year old girl dont have no trouble hitching rides
But sometimes when youre riding free
Youll pay the highest price
On back roads and in back seats
And in a cheap highway motel
But whats a few more strangers in a life of nothing else
Repeat chorus
16 caught me crying, underneath the scarlet light
On the door steps of a stranger on a cold and rainy night
When I walked into the parlour here
Other pieces seemed to fit
I was good at pleasing strangers
So I made the most of it
Either way its all a gamble
So view the stakes and know the odds
And lay your cards upon the table
Do all the dealing from the top
Repeat chorus

Danger
Dont talk to strangers
Keep away from the danger
Dont talk to strangers who smile
Keep away from the danger all the time
You just keep away
Red lights are flashin
Theres been a misunderstandin
Im bruised, broke an bandaged
Through drinkin all that brandy
I was under the table
But I came back for more
Gotta hit the bottle
But my head hit the floor
Chorus:
Danger - danger, dont talk to strangers
Stranger - danger, dont you talk
Danger - danger, dont talk to strangers
Danger - danger, dont talk keep away
Red lights still flashin
People all still dancin in my head
Ive done with thinkin about what to do
Another night of drinkin, just one before Im through
I was just raisin hell
I wasnt doin no harm
The cops could not appreciate
My natural charm

Oh, How The Years Go By
In our times of trouble
We only had ourselves
Nobody else
No one there to save us
We had to save ourselves
And when the storms came through
They found me and you
Back to back together
And when the sun would shine
It was yours and mine
Yours and mine forever
Chorus:
And oh how the years go by
And oh how the love brings tears to my eyes
All through the changes the soul never dies
We fight, we laugh, we cry
As the years go by
There were times we stumbled
They thought they had us down
But we came around
How we rolled and rambled
We got lost and we got found
Now were back on solid ground
We took everything
All our times would bring
In this world of dangers
cause when your heart is strong
You know youre not alone
In this world of strangers
(repeat chorus)
And if we lose our way
Any night or day
Well well always be
Where we should be
Im there for you
And I know youre there for me
(repeat chorus twice)
As the years go by

Dont Say Goodbye
(stock/aitken/waterman)
Dont say goodbye, girl (goodbye, girl)
Dont make me cry, girl (cry, girl)
cos I love you (love you)
Used to have such fun
Used to have good times
But now those days are gone
Used to have it all
Used to get on fine
But things just went wrong
Used to be in love
Thought we had it made
But everything has changed
We just grew apart
No one is to blame
** woh, time has made us strangers
Maybe we cant go on
But if love can take the changes
* dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
Dont throw it all away
cos I love you
Yes I do (yes I do)
Dont make me cry, girl
Youre my girl
Dont say goodbye to me
cos I love you
Yes I do (yes I do)
We could go along
Saying things were fine
But were just fooling ourselves
Maybe we should
Talk it out right now
And put things on the line
Everyone in love
Goes through times like these
Its just part of the game
I remember
I used to call your name
Woh, things dont have to be this way
Love is the answer now
Maybe we could start again today
(* repeat)
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl

Goodbye, girl
Dont throw it all away

I couldnt live without you, no
cos I love you
Yes I do (yes I do)
Dont say goodbye, girl
Goodbye, girl
I want to spend my life with you

Dont make me cry, girl
Youre my girl
Dont say goodbye to me

One More Chance
(john lang, richard page, steve george)
Whenever my mind sees you girl
I think of the times we owned the world
Crazy in love I missed the signs
I just couldnt see
I never believed you were leavin my life
(chorus # 1)
Baby give us one more chance
So we can love again
Theres a time for love, a time to heal
Now its time for us to mend
(chorus # 2)
Baby give us one more chance
Let me come back home
I dont wanna run the endless road
Or fight this world alone
You were the diamond in my life
You were the only star in sight
Playin against the odds I lost
All that I had
Oh what was the cost of you leavin my life
(repeat chorus # 1)

Give us one more chance
Its all that we need
To let the heartache mend girl
And make a love once broken
Strong again

I Heard Her Cryin
(karen staley)
The whole night in the kitchen
Saying words well both regret
And you scream you were leaving
And you cursed the day we met
The sound goes above the slamming door
And broken dishes thrown around the floor
So loud it made us stop
It was the sound of a teardrop
Chorus:
When I heard her crying
Thought she was tucked away in bed
I heard her crying
Wish we could take back what we said
I didnt think she was old enough to know
Oh lord we must have hurt her so
When she begged you not to go
I heard her crying
Well Id have given anything
For time to erase
When I turned around and saw
Those little tears roll down her face
Oh my heart nearly broke in two
When she said
Mommy what did I do
To make you and daddy mad
Oh Im sorry I was bad
I looked at you and you looked at me
And we felt each others shame
Kneeling down to hold our child
Said she was not to blame
Now sometimes when were angry
And say things that arent true
We still love each other
And baby we love you

Dont Talk To Strangers
When you were just a young girl and still in school
How come you never learned the golden rule
Dont talk to strange men, dont be a fool
Im hearing stories, I dont think thats cool
Why dont you tell me, someone is loving you
Cause youre my girl, some say its no longer true
Youre seeing some slick continental dude
Im begging you, please
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk, dont talk, dont talk,
Dont talk, dont talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody, ever told you, dont talk
Now tell me, hows life in the big city
I hear the competitions tough, baby thats a pity
And every mans an actor, every girl is pretty
I dont like whats getting back to me
Now whos this, don juan Ive been hearing of
Love hurts when only ones in love
Did you fall at first sight or did you need a shove
Im begging you, please
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk, dont talk, dont talk,
Dont talk, dont talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, dont talk
*fais lamour avec moi (*make love to me)
Whats he saying baby
*viens dormir, mon amour (*come to sleep my love)
I asked you not to talk to him
*je taime donne moi ton coeur ce soir (*i like you to give me your heart this night)
Im begging you
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk, dont talk, dont talk,
Dont talk, dont talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, dont talk
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you,

Get My Way
I cant take no more
Im so tired of running in somebody elses shoes
Whats it all been for
Whats the use of paying for somebody elses dues
Ive been on the road for someone elses dreams
Now Im trying to find my way back again
Its time to break some rules
And stop before the fire in me cools
Chorus:
I got my way
Of getting through to you
And Im going back where no ones been before
Some day
Ill show you something new
Ive got my way
To try and wipe the tears from my eyes
Im half scared to death
Think Im right but what if Im wrong
Ive got one shot left
The door is open now but not long
The rooms full of faces that Ive never seen
Like a million pair of eyes looking down
The smoke is blinding me
But I can still see my destiny
Chorus:
I got my way

And Im going back where no ones been before

Ill show you something new

Vision Of You
(r. nowels/e. shipley)
Time moves a summer way
I can see your face again
Was it such a tragedy
Being you, being me
Smoke clears, the picture fades
But I stay back in yesterday
All the strangers come and go
All of them will never know
Chorus:
Nobodys touch feels like your touch
Nobody gets to me that much
Nobodys kiss moves me inside
And I have no place left to hide
Tell me what can I do?
I have a vision of you
Tell me what can I do?
With this vision of you
Did I walk? did you run?
Whats the way to love someone
Oh, my darling, did we know
What it meant when we let go?
(repeat chorus)
With this vision of you?
Bridge:
How can a candle ever burn so bright?
Casting a shadow on my life
I am blinded by your light
Even without you

Tell me what can I do?
I have a vision of you
Tell me what can I do?

Baby Come Back
[Verse 1]
I was a fool to let you go
Let you walk right out my door
It was a bad mistake I made
And i regret it to this day
If I had a second chance
Girl i promise I'd make it last
So tonight I erase my pride
If you let me back inside
[Chorus]
Baby come back
Baby come back to me
I don't want to be free
Baby come back to me
Baby come back
[Repeat 2x]
[Verse2]
Over and over I try to forget you
But it seems too hard
My feelings for you I can't disregard
You're not my baby anymore baby
All I want is to bring your love back baby
It's not about sex baby
You're the best lady
Please have baby
Forever my lady

I Do But I Dont
You always come back when Im at my weakest
When Im fool enough to let you in
Sayin how this time around is different
Asking if I want to try again
Chorus:
I do
But I dont
I want to
But I wont
I am
But I aint
I could
But I just cant
It feels right
But its wrong
And Ive hurt way too long
So when you ask me if I know what I want
I do
But I dont
What resistance I have left within me
I lose each time youre holding me this close
With every bitter sweet kiss, girl, you tempt me
Asking if I want to let you go
(repeat chorus)
So dont ask me if I know what I want
cause I do
But I dont

Swingin Doors

Right up to my heart
You come in for a while but you dont stay
And Ive come to realize
That your promises are lies
To buy you time when you want to get away
Chorus:
You must think my heart has swingin doors
The way that you keep comin back and forth
I can feel its getting close to closing time
And I wont be leavin my heart open any more
Well, Ive heard youre back in town
I suppose youll come around
When nights are cold and friends are hard to find
You always seem to wait
til all the pieces are in place
Then you walk back in and rearrange my life

Im hangin out a sign sayin this well has run dry

I Cant Get Excited

Every single feeling now
Would take my life into a year ago
You say youll love me again
I cant say what I cannot do
Its been too long without someone
How could you let me sink this far away from you
Now youre here, wondering why you cant get near

I cant get excited
Cant get excited
Theres a thousand things to do
I cant do anything with you
I cant get excited
Cant get excited
You can see me look right through
I dont feel like I used to do
Im turning back the pages now
Ive pleaded with you oh so many times
Trying just to make you see
Hoping I might be the one
So calm down love, it will be all right
The time to bring back love is not tonight
I never thought Id have to say
That you should leave and go away

Not in love
Still not in love with you

Wide Open Spaces
Who doesnt know what Im talking about
Whos never left home, whos never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone
Many precede and many will follow
A young girls dream no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out west
But what it holds for her, she hasnt yet guessed
Chorus:
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She travelled this road as a child
Wide eyed and grinning, she never tired
But now she wont be coming back with the rest
If these are lifes lessons, shell take this test
Repeat chorus
She knows the high stakes
As her folks drive away, her dad yells, check the oil!
Mom stares out the window and says, Im leaving my girl
She says, it didnt seem like that long ago
When she stood there and let her own folks know

Independent and free

What a single girl goes through
The long working days and the lonley nights
The empty I love yous

My life looks good to you
Im always in control
No one to answer to
But no one there to hold
You see in my eyes you are the lucky one
With loving arms that you can lean upon
Id give anything I could to say
What youre throwing away

The Blue Train
Watching the long faces
Riding this run down track
And the lost places
From a dream that never brings them back
And the sad truth is
Nothing but a cold hard fact
Chorus:
Im riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
Im taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train
Counting the burned bridges
Trailing this rusted wreck
As our back pages
Scatter in the dust we left
Like a pearl necklace
Falling from around my neck

A ticket to an empty room
A rendezvous unknown

You know you made me just so

Strangers Eyes
All alone, a rainy night
No one around but I fell someone watching me
I look around, the street is bare nobody there
I wonder what it could be
As I turned to walk away
Suddenly I saw his face
Never minding that we were alone
Didnt care about the time, at the moment I was felling fine
I was looking into strangers eyes
(he caught me by surprise)
They looked right through me
(he looking into my eyes)
Never knew
Never, ever thought that love could be
(thats when he came)
He came and captured me
Like a scene out of a dream, I cant believe it
Kind of strange and familiar
But in his eyes I get a sign, I get a feeling
I get the feeling he knows me
Maybe I could stay a while, maybe I could make you smile
I dont have much to do
Maybe we could walk awhile
Maybe, maybe we could talk awhile
Cant help looking into strangers eyes
I was looking into strangers eyes
(he caught me by surprise)
They looked right through me
(he looked into my eyes)
Never knew
Never, ever thought that love could be
(thats when he came)
He came and captured me
How was I to know this would happen
Thought I didnt know I would meet this stranger
Its the kind of thing that dreams are made of
And I keep thinking about strangers eyes
I was looking into strangers eyes
(he caught me by surprise)
They looked right through me
(he looked into my eyes)
Never knew
Never, ever thought that love could be
(thats when he came to me)
He came and captured me
