Lonely Stranger
By eric clapton
I must be invisible;
No one knows me.
I have crawled down dead-end streets
On my hands and knees.
I was born with a ragin thirst,
A hunger to be free,
But Ive learned through the years.
Dont encourage me.
cause Im a lonely stranger here,
Well beyond my day.
And I dont know whats goin on,
So Ill be on my way.
When I walk, stay behind;
Dont get close to me,
cause its sure to end in tears,
So just let me be.
Some will say that Im no good;
Maybe I agree.
Take a look then walk away.
Thats all right with me.
Chorus

Dont Walk Away
Why do I say, dont walk away
Youll be the way you were before, when you dont want me anymore
Dont turn around, dont ever leave, a lonely room where empty days
Are gathering to meet me when youre gone, gone
How in the world will I go on
(dont walk away) all you gotta do is stay
(dont walk away) all you gotta do is stay (dont walk away)
Chorus:
Dont walk away (dont walk away), dont say goodbye (dont say goodbye)
Dont turn around (dont turn around), dont let it die (dont let it die)
When shadows fall (when shadows fall), when day is done (when day is done)
All through the night (all through the night), all of my life (all of my life)
Dont walk away
Is it a dream, when will it end
When everything weve ever known has ended and Im all alone
Where will I go, where will I be, the feelings that Ive never shown
Maybe Ill find the answer when youre gone, gone
How in the world will I go on
(dont walk away) all you gotta do is stay
(dont walk away) all you gotta do is stay (dont walk away)

Dont Walk Away
Dont walk away
See I just cant find the right thing to say
I tried but all my pain gets in the way
Tell me what I have to do so youll stay
Should I get down on my knees and pray
Chorus 1:
And how can I stop losing you
How can I begin to say
When theres nothing left to do but walk away
I close my eyes
Just to try and see you smile one more time
But its been so long now all I do is cry
Cant we find some love to take this away
cause the pain gets stronger every day
Chorus 2:
How can I begin again
How am I to understand
When theres nothing left to do but walk away
See now why
All my dreams been broken
I dont know where were going
Everything we said and all we done now
Dont let go, I dont wanna walk away
Now why
All my dreams are broken
Dont know where were going
Everything begins to set us free
Cant you see, I dont wanna walk away
If you go, I wont forget you girl
Cant you see that you will always be
Even though I had to let you go
Theres nothing left to do
Dont walk away

Got To Get Better In A Little While
By eric clapton
Dont you know whats wrong with me?
Im seeing things I dont want to see.
Sniffing things that aint no good for me.
Im going down fast, wont you say a prayer for me?
Its got to get better in a little while.
Its got to get better in a little while.
Its got to get better in a little while.
Its got to get better in a little while.
The suns got to shine on my guitar someday.
Revolution all across the land.
Just like sly, you got to take a stand.
Please dont hurt nobody, dont knock them down;
Give them a helping hand to get off the ground.
Chorus
The suns got to shine on my guitar someday.
Still one thing that you can do;
Fall down on your knees and pray.
I know the lords gonna answer you.
Dont do it tomorrow, do it today.

Walk on
If you should meet
Walk on
On down the street
Walk on
Dont even look
Walk on
Close up the book
We dont want the world to see us
Like we are
We should never have even gone this far
Quickly brush away that teardrop
Walk away darling
Dont stop
Dont look back for me baby
Walk on
Walk on
Dont turn around
Walk on
To higher ground
Take the love we shared together
Keep it in your heart forever
Dont forget me
Oh baby walk on
If you ever loved me baby
Walk on

If I Were You
The tenth of may
It seems so far away
When you and I were strangers moving close together
Sometimes it seems
Its almost like a dream
Driving across the country and the road is endless
If I were you
Dont wait until tomorrow
Id lead and wouldnt follow
Walk away - today
If I were you - please listen
Walk away - Id say
If I were you go away
The first of june
The summer came too soon
But from the day we met I knew youd never go away
Sometimes I feel
The passions not so real
Finding it strange to be together, not alone
If I were you
Id smile and close the door
Id never ask for more
Walk away - dont stay
If I were you - believe me
Walk away - Id say
If I were you go away
Fourth of july
With an independent sigh
I think the times arrived to take whats going to happen
Wise men may say
Its easier to stay
But if you are there Im only wasting time
If I were you
I know Id want to hurt me
It wouldnt disconcert me
Walk away - Id pray
If I were you - Id leave me
Walk away - today
If I were you - please listen
Walk away - dont stay
If I were you - believe me
Walk away - Id pray
If I were you - Id leave me
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Id leave if I were you

Dont Wanna
Dont want to talk, dont want to walk
Dont want to do anything
Dont want to kick, dont want to scream
Dont want to sleep, dont want to dream
Just want to sit, just want to stare
Do what you want I dont care
Wait for the phone, wait for the ring
Dont want to do anything
Chorus
Dont want to work, dont want to play
Just sit around everyday
Dont want to dance, dont want to sing
Dont want to do anything
Dont want to laugh, dont want to cry
Just want to sit and wonder why
Its just too much without your touch
Dont want to do anything

Dont Walk Away
I know what youre doing
You dont want to put the hurt on someone
Youve been trying to convince yourself
Youre better off if you just turn and run
But Im gonna hold on tight
Ive got a feeling
Youll only happen once to me
And no one, not even you
Is ever gonna make you wrong for me
Dont walk away
Or are you looking for a price to pay
Is that your master plan
Dont walk away
Ill do everything to make you stay
Ive got to make a stand
Dont walk away
Im not afraid
Dont walk away
I dont know where youre going
But I know what youve got on your mind
And I think your fear is showing
You dont leave things like fear behind
And I hate to be the one
To break it to you that
Were only human after all
I can mend a broken wing
Ill give you everything I have
Dont walk away
Or are you looking for a price to pay
Is that your master plan
Dont walk away
Ill do everything to make you stay
Ive got to make a stand
Dont walk away
Im not afraid
Dont walk away
You used to be the one
Who used to be so strong
What happened to your rationale
Your heart is on the line
It happens all the time
Dont walk away
Dont walk away
Dont walk away
Or are you looking for a price to pay
Is that your master plan
Dont walk away
Ill do everything to make you stay
Ive got to make a stand
Dont walk away
Im not afraid
Dont walk away

Cornwall Blank
Ive been down to the water
Ive been on top of the world
Somebody should come and see me
Somebody should give me the word
cause I dont know how many more
I dont know how many more
I dont know how many more to see
Sometimes the free thoughts clash
Sometimes I see through the grass
Sometime the light begins to dim
Somebody should come and be me
Somebody should come and free me
cause I dont know how many more (many more)
I dont know how many more (many more)
I dont know how many more to see
Oh darlin, darlin, I always wanna see you
Oh darlin, darlin, I always wanna see you
I cannot learn much more life
I cannot see much more
Somebody should stop the new sight
Somebody should close the door
cause I dont know how many more (many more)
I dont know how many more (many more)
I dont know how many more to see
Wrapped in a blanket, lyin in the snow
Feelin like the men felt a long time ago
Goin to find me a home, goin to build it with my hands
Cant you see theres food to be grown
Got to dig up, dig up the land

Walk Away
By marcy levy and richard feldman
You leave a trail of tears wherever you go.
One of us will hold you, the other one wont.
But I could never share your love or leave it behind.
Break his heart, not mine.
Do you remember tender moments we shared?
How could this true affection vanish into thin air?
Hes not worth the trouble, baby; hes just a waste of your time.
Oh, break his heart, not mine.
Dont you walk away,
You know youre gonna miss me.
Dont you walk away, walk away.
Youre gonna miss me,
Youre gonna miss my love.
So dont you walk away,
Dont you walk away, walk away.
Dont you walk away, walk away.
So Ill be waiting in the backroom, baby, when you kiss him goodbye.
Oh, break his heart not mine, but...
Chorus
Dont you walk away, walk away.
Oh dont you walk away.
I know youre gonna miss my love.
Dont you walk away, walk away.
Dont you walk away.
Youre gonna miss my love.
Dont you walk away, walk away.

I Walk These Streets Alone
I walk these streets alone why U ask, because that's all i know and the reason i'm so ignorant is because him always on the go
I walk these streets alone meeting customer after customer getting in and out of random cars
I walk these streets alone as if the streets are empty as i go on my devilish duty.
I walk these streets alone clueless to the danger surrounding me, as if him invisible to any danger.
I walk the streets alone as if every person i meet sees me as a stranger.
I walk these streets alone, as sad as it may seem i prefer my own company but at times i still get lonely.
I walk these streets alone but don't feel sorry for me, for i know what i'm getting myself into. and i know the consequences if i get caught
I walk these streets alone regardless of what I've been taught...

Dont Lie
(frank rogers/chet biggers)
That old photograph of us sure looks out of place
Laying on your bag out in the hall.
Youre takin it to remind you of our better days...
The ones you say youll miss when youre gone.
Dont lie...dont try to fool me...
Cause girl I know whats goin on.
Dont lie...you owe it to me...
Believe me leave well enough alone.
So just go ahead and say goodbye...
But dont lie.
Well Ive seen all his letters in the closet
Ive caught a trace of his cologne on you at night.
So dont stand there and act so broken hearted...
Tell me how its killin you inside.
Dont lie...dont try to fool me...
Cause girl I know whats goin on.
Dont lie...you owe it to me...
Believe me leave well enough alone.
So just go ahead and say goodbye...
But dont lie.
Just come out and say it...
Dont worry I can take it...
Dont you think that I deserve the truth?
Dont lie...dont try to fool me...
Cause girl I know whats goin on.
Dont lie...you owe it to me...
Believe me leave well enough alone.
So just go ahead and say goodbye...

Take A Chance
By eric clapton, greg phillinganes and nathan east
If I dont take a chance,
If I dont make a move,
If I dont go looking for new romance,
How will I ever find my groove?
If I dont play around,
How am I gonna have my fun?
If I tried to settle down,
Would I be fooling anyone?
Im out on a limb above a sea of bliss;
I dont know why I feel this way.
I only know I love it.
And I feel so free today.
You know I feel so free today.
Thats right, I feel so free, no matter where I go,
But I feel so free today.
If I dont make mistakes,
If I dont play the fool,
If I have to worry bout the heart I break,
How am I ever gonna learn the rules?
Im looking for danger inside the sweetest smile;
I dont know why I feel this way.
I only know I love it.

Walk On By
You always said my eyes
Were the windows of my soul
You could always fill my love
And pain without been told
I never knew how, but I dont
Even dare to look at you now.
So, if you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we leave
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe
That you dont see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private cause each time I see you
I break down and cry, ooh baby,
Walk on by, ooh darling
Please, walk on by,
I dont wanna you to see me cry
Walk on by, please, please
Baby, baby dont stop...
So, if you ever love
Look the other way
There is anything left to say
Anyway...
I just cant get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goobye, ooh baby
Walk on by, ooh sugar
Walk on by...(baby, baby dont stop)
Baby, baby dont stop
Walk on by...ub..eh
Walk on by...
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by..uuh baby
Walk on by...uuh sugar
Walk on by... walk on by
I dont want to see me cry
Walk on by, walk on by...
All the tears that I have cry...
I dont have nothing left to say...
Please take your head... look the other way...
Wow...wow...wow...walk on by...
Walk on by....

Power Of You & Me
Written and arranged by richard marx
Everybodys talking, the world is goin round
Rumors are flying all over the town
How could a stranger know whats still a
Mystery to me
I dont know what to call it
I dont know what it is
I only know for certain Ive never felt like this
And, baby, its the one thing I can believe
Theres nothing I fear in this life
Long as Ive got you by my side
Chorus
Were mighty as a hurricane, tougher than stone
Stronger than anything Ive ever known
One look at us together anybody could see
There aint nothin that can stand up to
The power of you and me
Were only good together, no good on our own
Everything about you feels just like home
Before you I dont remember how I got along
You are the spark to my flame
The only one that burns in your name
Chorus
So many souls searching for
What were holding right in our hands
Youre the woman that makes me a better man

Lay Down Sally
By eric clapton, marcy levy and george terry
There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me.
I know youve got somewhere to go,
But wont you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And dont you ever leave.
Lay down, sally, and rest you in my arms.
Dont you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, sally, no need to leave so soon.
Ive been trying all night long just to talk to you.
The sun aint nearly on the rise
And we still got the moon and stars above.
Underneath the velvet skies,
Love is all that matters. wont you stay with me?
And dont you ever leave.
Chorus
I long to see the morning light
Coloring your face so dreamily.
So dont you go and say goodbye,
You can lay your worries down and stay with me.
And dont you ever leave.

Bell Bottom Blues

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry.
I dont want to lose this feeling.
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms.
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
Id gladly do it because
I dont want to fade away.
Give me one more day, please.
I dont want to fade away.
In your heart I want to stay.
Its all wrong, but its all right.
The way that you treat me baby.
Once I was strong but I lost the fight.
You wont find a better loser.

Bell bottom blues, dont say goodbye.
Im sure were gonna meet again,
And if we do, dont you be surprised
If you find me with another lover.

In your heart I long to stay.

Theyre So Tough
Theyre so tough
They like to make us feel little
They like to meke us feel small
They like to put us down
till we feel no good at all
Then they tell us that were stupid
That we got no sense at all
Theyll take away the spark
Keep us in the dark
Make us feel we have no vision at all
Chorus:
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
No, I dont believe it has to be this way
Then they tell us to be patient
That our time will come
But ive stood outside their doors
And walk their floors
And I aint gonna do it again
Theyd like to make me their nigger
I say to hell with them
Im not getting down on my knees
And begging please
Can you throw me a crumb now and then
Chorus:
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
I cant really speak to you
And I dont know about them
They must be out of their minds
Cant read between the lines
They can stick it where the sun dont shine

Heroin
I dont know just where Im going
But Im goin to try for the kingdom if I can
cause it makes me feel like Im a man
When I put a spike into my vein
Then I tell you things arent quite the same
When Im rushing on my run
And I feel just like jesus son
And I guess I just dont know
And I guess that I just dont know
I have made very big decision
Im goin to try to nullify my life
cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the droppers neck
When Im closing in on death
You cant help me not you guys
All you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess I just dont know
And I guess I just dont know
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that Id sailed the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
I put on a sailors suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man cannot be free
Of all the evils in this town
And of himself and those around
Oh, and I guess I just dont know
Oh, and I guess I just dont know
Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, its my wife and its my life
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then Im better off than dead
When the smack begins to flow
Then I really dont care anymore
About all the jim-jims in this town
And everybody putting everybody else down
And all of the politicians makin crazy sounds
All the dead bodies piled up in mounds, yeah
Wow, that heroin is in my blood
And the blood is in my head
Yeah, the gods good as dead
Ooohhh, God that Im not aware
I just dont care
And I guess I just dont know
And I guess I just dont know

Dont Ya Say It
Things you said to me
Sentimentally
Are always on my mind.
Seems you haunted me
But you set me free
Long before you gave me time to escape.
The next time
Ill be on my way
cause its time, its true
Im turning my back on you.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you need me
You dont need me,
Dont even try.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you want me,
You dont mean it,
Dont say good-bye.
You threw love at me
Indispensably,
But you never could give it away.
And it seems to me
That youd never be,
Thats why Ill never stay with you.
You cant hold me down
cause its my life too,
So this time its true,
Im turning my back on you
.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you want me,
You dont mean it,
Dont even try.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you need me,
You dont mean it,
Dont say good-bye.

Dont say you need me,
You dont need me,
Dont even try.
Dont ya say it,
Dont say you want me,

Dont say good-bye.
