Miami
Written by John Mellencamp
Well I hear in Miami they have a lot of girls
Who toast their flesh in the sun
Living on allowances they receive from the old man at home
To keep up appearances to have fun
CHORUS:
Hey baby
Living in Miami
I know you're hip to those hotel alibis
I know you're nowhere near twenty
But I ain't the kind to kiss and tell or tell lies
Well they are easy to look at, they are hard to hold
They have high opinions of themselves
But at night you can find them drinking in the bar
Wishing that they could find somebody else
CHORUS
Well they pull and tug on their high fashion clothes
As they strip off their armor in their apartment bedrooms
They wish that somewhere they can find a spark
Well their sights and visions and dreams are set high
They think the world can be won with a smile
I hear 'em giggle out loud, lost in the crowd
Give me a cuddle when we get outside
CHORUS
Hey baby
Living in Miami
I know you're hip to those hotel alibis
I know you're nowhere near twenty
But I ain't the kind to kiss and tell or tell lies

Miami
Words and music by bob seger
They saw the lights on the horizon
Out of the seas it came shinin
The buildings so high
They seemed to touch the sky
Miami, oh, miami
They felt the warm breezes blowing
From off the strange new ocean
They reached the end safe
It was a new day
Miami, oh, miami
Oh, it mustve seemed
Something from a dream
Shinin through the night
All those city lights
Staring at the shore
Hungry, tired and worn
Could it really be
Were they really free
And so they came
A hundred thousand
To find a way of life
They could believe in
Far away from home
With nothing of their own
To miami, oh miami
They saw the lights

Same Old Blues
(by eric clapton)
Im sorry baby, but I cant afford to stay.
Your good, kind treatment will worry me someday.
I love you baby, but Im gonna have to say goodbye.
Woman, I got to move, I really got to fly.
Same thing every morning,
Tell me whats it all about.
I get those same old blues every night.
I miss you already, baby, more than words can say.
Seems like Ive been gone twenty-four hours, more like a million days.
I love you baby, you know I woudnt tell you no lies.
If you dont believe I love you, look at the tears standing in my eyes.
Chorus
Here I am back home, baby, Im back home to stay.
I love you babe, never more will I go away.
I wont hurt you no more, baby, aint gonna tell you no more lies.
No more running round, no more phony alibis.

This One's For The Girls
This is for all you girls about thirteen
High school can be so rough, can be so mean
Hold onto, onto your innocense
Stand your ground when everybody's giving in
This one's for the girls
This is for all you girls about twenty-five
In little apartments just trying to get by
Living on, on dreams and Spaghetti-Os
Wondering where your life is gonna go
[Chorus:]
This one's for the girls
Who've ever had a broken heart
Who've wished upon a shooting star
You're beautiful the way you are
This one's for the girls
Who love without holding back
Who dream with everything they have
All around the world
This one's for the girls
This is for all you girls about forty-two
Tossing pennies into the fountain of youth
Every laugh, laugh line on your face
Made you who you are today
[Chorus]
Yeah we're all the same inside
From one to ninety-nine

Kiss To Kiss
Do nothing till you hear from me
Leave a number where youre gonna be
These times are dangerous for you and me
Would I get a message through?
Shell be watching every move you make
Shell be waiting for that one mistake
Somebodys heart is gonna have to break
Before we are through
Chorus:
Because we cant live
From kiss to kiss
Making up for all weve missed
Hiding in the daylight shadows
Until its time to say goodbye
Wishing it would be all right
Living with a loneliness
From kiss to kiss
Dont ask me now what is right or wrong
cos Ive been wondering since you came along
We were weak and love was strong
Now theres nothing we can do
So Ill meet you at the same ole place
I know its worth it when I see your face
Someday well just disappear without a trace
Baby, thats the truth
I keep hoping well find a way
(kiss to kiss)
I keep wondering whos gonna pay
(kiss to kiss)
I keep waiting for judgement day
Some peoples lives
Just get in the way
And thats the truth

Little Town
Written by Amy Grant
Your smile lights up a room
Like a candle in the dark
It warms me through and through
And I guess that I had dreamed
We would never be apart
But that dream did not come true
And
Chorus:
Missing you is just a part of living
And missing you feels like a way of life
I'm living out the life that I've been given
But baby I still wish you were mine
And I cannot hear the telephone
Jangle on the wall
And not feel a hopeful thrill
And I cannot help but smile
At any new of you at all
And I guess I always will
'Cause
(Repeat Chorus)
Hey, yeah

I'm living out the life that I've been given
But baby I still wish that you were mine

In The Sticks
I said hey now baby
Ain't you the girl next door
Reet petite you must not eat
Bet you know the score
Friday night don't sit at home
Lets trek up the bend
Maybe if I'm lucky I'll even steal a kiss
Maybe even hold your hand, yeah
Something about you sweetheart
Well I just can't explain
You're not like all those city girls
I don't think so anyway
And I can't seel a wink at night
Hoping my dreams come true
You're gonna be a brand new kind of girl
When I get through with you
(In the sticks is where I lay)
Hey girl, I got love
(In the sticks is what I play)
Love enough for you
CHORUS
In the sticks
Well it's you and me baby
And I ain't no coutnry hick
But me and the city we just don't mix
Dancin' on a moonbeam
When I finally caught your name
Said you had to be going soon
And I said that that's a shame
Took you down to the willow pond
Where the cat tails grow real high
And in a few brief moments
We waived our child hood goodbye
CHORUS
Just don't mix
Go!

Living On A Dream
Living on a dream
Sometimes
Make my day with a single touch
Make me stay, don't give up
I've no control when it comes to you
Make my day baby won't you
A single touch is all I need
Don't give up baby don't retreat
I've no defense when it comes to you
make my day baby won't you

I'm living on a dream
Or so it seems
Sometimes
Living on a dream
No milk, just cream
Sometimes bells chime
T-t-t-toe to toe
Cheek to cheek
You get close
And I get weak
Don't shoot me down with your baby blues
Make my day darling won't you
Your baby blues call my name
You won't hear my heart complain
Hang with me and we'll do the do
Make my day baby won't you

Climb That Mountain High
(don schlitz/reba mcentire)
Red sun a-rising, over the hill
Ive had enough of this desert to last from now until
Im tired of living day-to-day and hand-to-mouth
This could be the day I finally find my way out
Chorus:
Im gonna climb that mountain high
Im gonna see whats on the other side
Im gonna kiss this town good-bye
Im gonna climb that mountain
How I arrived here, heaven only knows
Seems more like the kind of place the devil wouldve chose
To spend my life here, is more than I can do
I know somewhere down the road my dream will come true
Repeat chorus
If I stay here forever
What will I have to show
But if I make it over
Then everyone will know
Im gonna climb that mountain high

No Alibis
By jerry lynn williams
I beg your pardon, hello darlin
This is me youre talkin to
Sit down and tell me about it
You dont have to shout it at me
Tell me what you really want to do
Dont give me no alibis
No untrue stories youre trying to justify
Dont want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie
Mountain gets steeper
The hole you dig gets deeper
You better stop and climb out
cause Im trying to give it all to you
Baby I can see right through you
Sometimes you lose what its all about
Dont give me no alibis
Cant go through life trying to justify
Dont want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie
Chorus
Mountain gets steeper
The hole you dig is getting deeper
Better reach out and pull yourself out
Nobody ever gonna love you the way that I love you
And I never want to see you doin without

Bright Lights
She got out of town on the railway, new york bound
Took all except my name
Another alien on broadway
Well, some things in this world you just cant change
Some things you cant see until it gets too late
[chorus]
Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
Who will save me from all Im up against out in this world
And maybe, maybe, maybe
Youll find something thats enough to keep you
But if the bright lights dont receive you
You should turn yourself around and come on home
I got a hole in me now
I got a scar I can talk about
She keeps a picture of me in her apartment in the city
But some things in this world
Man, they dont make sense
Some things you dont leave until they leave you
And then the things that you miss, you say
[chorus]
Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
Who will save me from all Im up against out in this world
And maybe, maybe, maybe
Youll find something thats enough to keep you
But if the bright lights dont receive you
You should turn yourself around and come on home
Let that city take you in (come on home)
Let that city spit you out (come on home)
Let that city take you down, yeah
For God sakes turn around

Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
Who will save me from all Im up against out in this world

Coconut Telegraph
By: jimmy buffett
1980
For the gang at the fish house
Tuesday on the island
Not much goin on
The parties are all over
They ended just past dawn
The jungle drums are beating
With the tales from late last night
cause stories bear repeating
For everyones delight
Chorus:
You can hear em on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)
Cant keep nothin under their hat
You can hear em on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)
Sayin who did dis and dat
Dis and dat, dis and dat
Now Im not one to deal in gossip
But was he that big a fool
To do a belly-buster high dive
And miss the entire pool
And what became of sweet melissa
And the boy nobody knew
Did ricardo ever find her
I swear its just between me and you
Chorus:
But you can hear it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)
By now everybody knows
You can hear it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)
Just who comes and goes
Comes and goes, comes and goes
La, la la la, la la la
La, la la la, la la la
La, la la la, (la la la la la la la)
La, la la la, (la la la la la la oooooh)
Ah!
Its hump day on the island
The lines have all gone dead
All the juicy news is history
I guess everythings been said
But when the eagle flies on friday
And the boys break out the rum
And the joint begins to jumpin
And youll hear those hot lines hum
Chorus:
Ah, put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)
All the celebration and the stress
Baby put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)
In twenty-five words or less
I want to hear it on the coconut telgraph (telegraph)
All the celebration and the stress
Baby put it on the coconut telegraph (telegraph)
In twenty-five words or less
Dis and dat, comes and goes
Dis and dat, comes and goes

Life #9
(kostas/tony perez
Dont tell me no stories I dont
Want to hear no lies
No reason, or excuses,none of
Your alibis
The phone rings I pick it up nobodys
On the line
I know shes waiting for you shes
Just biding her time
Youd have me believe its just a
Night out with your friends
But I know youre going back to see her again
Chorus:
Youre stealing love
Living on life #9
Breaking my heart
Living on borrowed time
Youre catting around
Playing with fire
Youre stealing love
Living on life #9
Youre running on empty troubles
On every side
Youve used up your last chance
Youve got no place to hide
Im tired of these heartaches tired
Of living a lie
Go to her shes waiting
But someday youre gonna find
The grass aint always greener on the other side
Now what you thought was love was what you left behind

The Real Thing
Never mind the stars in the sky
Never mind the when and the why
Got a feeling higher than high
This is the real thing
No more living in shame
And Im not gonna run or gonna hide away
No more telling all those lies
Its been too long
No more living in chains
No, I dont give a damn whet the people say
Theres no use holding back desire
Weve burnt our fingers now lets jump into the flames
Chorus:
Never mind the stars in the sky
Never mind the when and the why
Got a feeling higher than high
This is the real thing
Never mind the rain and the storm
Well keep each other warm
We got something stronger than strong
This is the real thing
Gonna walk out hand in hand
So let them criticise cos they dont understand
Weve got nothing to hide
Its just love
Ive had enough of shy
So lets go out and show them what we have inside
Theres no use holding back desire
Weve burnt our fingers now lets jump into tho fire

Never mind the stars in the sky baby
Never mind the when and the why baby

When You're Not Trying To
Let me try to explain
It's not the roses or champagne
That really touch my heart
How can I make you see
You're the best at lovin' me
When you don't know you are
(Chorus)
Baby it's not the way that you reach out while you're sleepin'
And gently hold my hand the whole night though
It's how you listen when I'm pouring out my feelings
Baby when I feel the most for you
Is when you're not tryin' to
You don't need to rehearse
Some sweet romantic words
To whisper in my ear
So just forget the poetry
What comes naturally
Is what I long to hear
(Chorus)
It's in your eyes
And in your smile
In the passion of your kiss'
It's takin' me in your arms so easily
So easily
It's how you listen when I'm pourin' out my feeling
Baby when I feel the most from you
Is when you're not tryin' to
"Where You End And I Begin"
I guess I'm just one of those
WHo believes there has to be a reason
For living and breathing
Everytime you pull me close
Something tells me there'll be no

New Kind Of Medicine
Chorus
I need a new kind of medicine
I need a new kind of medicine
I need a new kind of medicine
One dont hurt so much
Aint so damn tough
And makes me feel good all over
Something baby about your love
Dont work for me
And I been thinking
How bad your loving makes me feel
Turning me around and around
Back and forth
And up and down
Always thought youd be good for me
But lately its killing me
Pre chorus
And I need someone
To fill me with sweet ecstasy
And I need someone who can take
Me high
And set me free
Leaving me alone at night
Never want to sacrifice
Now I know youre no good for me
Now Ive got to find a remedy
Tell me baby
How could things change so soon
I gave you everything
Nothing was too good for you
Love should feel like
A warm healing deep inside
But I feel Im slowly dying
From sitting home alone and crying

Prove It All Night
Ive been working real hard, trying to get my hands clean,
Tonight well drive that dusty road from monroe to angeline,
To buy you a gold ring and pretty dress of blue,
Baby just one kiss will get these things for you,
A kiss to seal our fate tonight,
A kiss to prove it all night.
(chorus)
Prove it all night,
Girl theres nothing else that we can do,
Sp prove it all night, prove it all night,
And girl Ill prove it all night for you.
Everybodys got a hunger, a hunger they cant resist,
Theres so much that you want, you deserve much more than this,
But if dreams came true, oh, wouldnt that be nice,
But this aint no dream were living through tonight,
Girl, you want it, you take it, you pay the price.
(chorus)
Prove it all night, prove it all night girl and call the bluff,
Prove it all night, prove it all night and girl,
I prove it all night for your love.
Baby, tie your hair back in a long white bow,
Meet me in the fields out behind the dynamo,
You hear the voices telling you not to go,
They made their choices and theyll never know,
What it means to steal, to cheat, to lie,
What its like to live and die.

To prove it all night...

High On You
Written by ricki & kim wilde
Been a long time down
Looking at the ground and feeling bad
Heaven knows Ive tried
But the pain inside just made me sad
When youre looking back at yesterday
And find you cant let go
You need someone who can lift you up
To get ready for tomorrow
Baby Im high
High on the love we make
Thats what you do for me
Baby, Im high
I am in ecstasy
Boy, what you doing to me
Cos baby Im high
High on the love we make
Baby Im high on you
Took me by surprise
When I saw the passion in your eyes
Now Ive got you here
Life is is good and feel satisfied
Now Im flying with the birds above
Im floating to the moon
Got the clouds to walk on every day
And the stars shine when you walk in the room
Now Im high
High on the love we make
Thats what you do for me
Baby, Im high
Iam in ecstasy
Boy, what youre doing to me
Cos baby Im high
High on the love we make
Thats what you do for me
Baby, Im high your kiss
Now Im addicted to you
I dont want to get over this
Baby, Im high enough
On what you do
You make me feel so high on you
Im high... so high...
