If We Try
(don mclean)
When I see you on the street
I lose my concentration
And just the thought that we might meet
Creates anticipation
Wont you look my way once before you go
And my eyes will say what you ought to know
Well, Ive been thinking about you day and night
And I dont know if it will work out right
But somehow I think that it just might
If we try
Faces come and faces go in circular rotation
But something yearns within to grow
Beyond infatuation
Wont you look my way once before you go
And my eyes will say what you ought to know
Well, you got me standing deaf and blind
Cause I see love as just a state of mind
And who knows what it is that we might find
If we try
Youre walking a different direction
From most people Ive met
Youre giving me signs of affection
I dont usually get
I dont want you to pledge your future
The futures not yours to give
Just stand there a little longer
And let me watch while you live
cause when I see you on the street
I lose my concentration
And just the thought that we might meet
Creates anticipation
Wont you look my way once before you go
And my eyes will say what you ought to know
Well, Ive been thinking about you day and night
And I dont know if it will work out right
But somehow I think that it just might
If we try
Somehow I think that it just might
If we try
Yes,somehow I think that it just might
If we try

Lovelight
Ive always hated my room, its so gloomy and dreary
Always the dark, for the windows just face the back yard
So I cant understand how its happened, how everythings changing
This old dirty ceiling seems a little whiter
When you walked into the room it all got so much brighter
You must have a lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
And I can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when youre not there
The lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
Youre shining like a star in the night
I wont let you out of my sight
I dont want to lose you, I dont want to lose your lovelight
How I remember the first time we went to the movies
We had decided to meet on the corner downtown
And I waited there when you came up from behind and you kissed me
And the traffic seemed to get a little lighter
When you came into my life it all got so much brighter
You must have a lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
And I can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when youre not there
The lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
Youre shining like a star in the night
I wont let you out of my sight
I dont want to lose you, I dont want to lose your lovelight
And I feel so good
And I feel so right
And I know that you must have a lovelight
Youve got lovelight
And I can feel your love everywhere
Maybe even when youre not there
Youve got lovelight
Everything around you is lovelight
Youre shining like a star in the night
I wont let you out of my sight
I dont want to lose you, I dont want to lose your lovelight
Everything about you is right
Let it glow and let it be bright
I dont want to lose your lovelight
Shining like a star in the night

Her
Baby, Ive been watching from a distance
And everything it rings familiarly, mmmm
But I cant imagine what you must be thinkin
Cuz she could never be what I can be
Oh, loneliness has really got you twisted
And theres so much your eyes dont even see, yeah
And then I laid my eyes upon your woman
And to my surprise I saw me lookin at me
But how could you be with her?
Her
You dont really love her, no
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I wont stand by and watch you pretend
So baby how could you?
Her
You dont really love her, no
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I cant stand by and watch you pretend
We parted so that we could make it better
Cuz boy, you said we needed time and space, mmm
We vowed that it was only temporary
But I never thought that I would be replaced
Now youre living all our dreams with another
And youre giving everything you promised me
Youre pretending were together when were nothing
But shes not me, she cant be, no
How could you be with her, oh baby
Her
You dont really love her, no, no
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I cant stand by and watch you pretend
So how could you play me?
Her
Cuz dont really love her, no
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I cant stand by and watch you pretend
I never thought that you would be hurting this way
And I never thought Id be without you, without you
You didnt have to run away to find me again
Cuz Ive always been here I am the real thing
So dont you pretend, oh
Her
You dont really love her
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I cant stand by and watch you pretend
Oh
Her
You dont really love her, no
She
Cuz you really love and and i
I
I cant stand by and let you pretend
We could start again
Her
Ya gotta let her go baby
She
And bring your love to me
I
I want your love, I need your love

We Got The Right
(m&l - kiske)
Dont turn your head
Back to the wall
Dont close your eyes
And wait for your fall
If you belive that you know in this time
Youve got anything to win
If you belive that you know
Then I say youll lose all again
In this time theres nothing to get for you
You cannot really do what you want
Youre a child, a prisoner in your mind
You are a victim of this hopeless time
You better believe all you do has a sense
Its not for nothing
You better believe all the troubles you have
Will pay you someday
Why dont you help yourself and do the best
Put all the bombs back up their builders ass
Why dont you stand up to say who you are
To show the people that paradise is not far
Oh, cant you see we got the right
To look into the future without no need to hide
No we wont accept what you do
We stand up cause were not the people
You can abuse
Oh, cant you see we got the right
To say we are here to see the light
No, we dont wanna lose all again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
As good as you can
We are credulous idiots
And wont understand what they plan
We march with the times
Its what they expect and we do
Why dont you open your eyes
To undercover all of these lies
I think you wont accept this
Go oppose with your fist
Fight for your rights
Oh, can t you see we got the right
To say we are here to see the light
No, we dont wanna lose all again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
As good as you can

Please Dont Let It Go
Were drifting apart,
But I wont give up, no
Wherever you are I belong
Love sings us a song
But we fail to sing along
Wherever you go I will follow
So please dont let it
Please dont let it go
And if you wont let it I wont let it go
Please dont let it
Please dont let it go
And if you wont let it I wont let it go
You try to be strong
Youve tried it oh so long
Whatever I do I do it wrong
And love sings our song
So eager to sing along
Whatever you do I know it
So please dont let it
Please dont let it go
Cause if you wont let it I wont let it go
Please dont let it
Please dont let it go
Cause if you wont let it I wont let it go
Dont let go of life
Let go of love
Let go of all we have
So dont let go of trust
Let go of lust
Let go of all we share
So please dont let it
Please dont let it go
And if you wont let it I wont let it go
Please dont let it
Please dont let it go
And if you wont let it I wont let it go
So please dont let it
Please dont let it go
Cause if you wont let it I wont let it go
Please dont let it
Please dont let it go
Cause if you wont let it I wont let it go

The Least You Can Do
I was lying awake last night, waiting for your call
But if the rumours are true, that wont bother you at all
Im trying hard to understand
What it takes to be your man
Now I dont have to wonder anymore
Least you can do is say youre sorry
Least you can do is give me back my heart
Just give me back my heart
Seems living in hope was wrong those years I was away
Thinking your letters, I never received, had gone astray
You said youd always be there for me
Like a fool I thought youd be
Now I dont know what I was thinking at all
But the least you can do is say youre sorry girl
Least you can do is give me back my heart
I wont come around no more
You wont find me standing outside your door
Least you can do is tell me why, tell me why
The least you can do is say youre sorry girl
Least you can do is give me back my heart
I wont come around no more
You wont find me standing outside your door
But the least you can do is tell me why
I wont be your fool anymore
Theres no need to be cruel anymore no, no
Least you can do is say youre sorry girl
The least you can do is give me back my heart .just give me back my heart

Do What You Like
Dont tell me what you cant do
Never had a hold on you
And dont tell me where youd rather be
Just say the word, Ill set you free
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Dont tell me what you cant do, oh no
Give a little, I need a lot
You never think about what weve got
Maybe our breakup is long overdue
If its over me, its up to you
Dont make it harder than you need to
Youre old enough to hear the truth
Dont tell me what you cant do
Id do anything to make you stay
Id be a fool to let you get away
They say true love never runs smooth
But when its gone, what can you do?
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Do what you like, you know that you can, mmm
Dont let her go!
Maybe I should let her know
Ill try to be strong
But its wrong!
Im gonna have to let her go
If you walk out on me
Id be lonely as a man could be
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Do what you like, you know that you can
But girl, if youre wrong, please understand
Do what you like, you know that you can
But girl, if youre wrong, please understand
Do what you like, you know that you can
Dont tell me what you cant do
But girl, if youre wrong, please understand
Never had a hold on you
Tell me you like, you know that you can
And dont tell me where youd rather be
But girl, if youre wrong, please understand
Just say the word, Ill set you free
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Girl, youre losing me
Youre losing me
Just do what you like
Do what you like, girl
Walk out of me, walk out of me
Girl you walk out of me
Say the word, Ill set you free
You wont believe what you wont see

Father To Son
Somewhere down the road, youre gonna find a place
It seems so far, but it never is
You wont need to stay, but you might lose your strength
On the way
Sometimes you may feel youre the only one
Cos all the things you thought were safe, now theyre gone
But you wont be alone, Ill be here to carry you along
Watching you til all your work is done
When you find your heart, youd better run with it
Cos when she comes along, she could be breaking it
No theres nothing wrong, youre learning to be strong
Dont look back
She may soon be gone, no dont look back
Shes not the only one, remember that
If your heart is beating fast, then you know shes right
If you dont know what to say, well, thats all right
You dont know what to do?
Remember she is just as scared as you
Dont be shy, even when it hurts to say
Remember, youre gonna get hurt someday, anyway
Then you must lift your head, keep it there
Remember what I said
Ill always be with you dont forget
Just look over your shoulder Ill be there.
If you look behind you, I will be there.

Giving Up
If there should be the faintest traces
Of you in my summer sky
My heart would pound and race
And people ask me why
Did I pull those funny faces
When I walk by the waterside
I look for things to say
And still I find you
I wont give up
Dont talk of giving up
And every night I swear Ive finished
And when I rise to face the day
Resolve just fades away
And so it follows
Trying to find strength of purpose
I place temptation out of reach
Then search in every niche
Until I find you
I wont give up
Dont talk of giving up
I wont give it up--love this world
No thoughts of giving up oh no no no no no
Perhaps its only saints who suffer
For those needs to which were slaved
This roaad iwalk is paved with good intentions
The final choice hangs on a wire
And theres no room for feet to stray
The piper waits for pay
And still I find you
I wont give up
Dont talk of giving up
I wont give up--love this world
No thoughts of giving up oh no no no no no
I wont give it up--love this world
Dont talk of giving up
I wont give it up--love this world
No thoughts on giving up

To put an end to this
All I wanted was to lose myself
All I wanted was to have some fun
I wont need a gun

Just treat me like you always do
You know that you have already won
Dont have to find you
I know where you are
I dont see you
But I can feel you
I wont need a gun
To put an end to this
Youre punching a hole from inside
Youre making your way tom my mind
I wont have to hide
I will just stick to you
Just treat me like you always do

Cant Let You Go
Day after day I keep waking up
To find that youre slipping away
Night after night
I cant fight the emptiness inside
Nothing I can say
Now I know youre turning me away
Youre wearing a disguise
You dont have to hide cause
The truth is in your eyes tonight
I dont want to live a lie
But I dont want to say goodbye
And I cant let you go even though its over
I just cant let you go
Though your love is growing colder
One look in my eyes and youd realize
That you got my heart in your hands
Wont you let me know something more
Where did we go wrong?
I dont want to fight
All I want to do is try to understand
Im reaching out for you babe
What can I do
Ive been holding on so long
I dont want to live a lie
But I dont want to say goodbye
I cant let you go
Even though its over
I just cant let you go
I feel your love is growing colder
I dont want to live a lie
But I dont want to say goodbye
I want you by my side
And I cant let you go
Even though its over
I just cant let you go
I feel your love is growing colder
I cant let you go even though its over

School
I can see you in the morning when you go to school
Dont forget your books, you know youve got to learn the golden rule,
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work
And be like johnnie - too-good, well dont you know he never shirks
- hes coming along!
After school is over youre playing in the park
Dont be out too late, dont let it get too dark
They tell you not to hang around and learn what lifes about
And grow up just like them - wont you let it work it out
- and youre full of doubt
Dont do this and dont do that
What are they trying to do?
- make a good boy of you
Do they know where its at?
Dont criticise, theyre old and wise
Do as they tell you to
Dont want the devil to
Come out and put your eyes
Maybe Im mistaken expecting you to fight
Or maybe Im just crazy, I dont know wrong from right
But while I am still living, Ive just got this to say
Its always up to you if you want to be that
Want to see that
Want to see that way
- youre coming along!

I Wont Close My Eyes
(kevin montgomery/larry b. gottlieb)
I dont wanna think
That you could be runnin around
After all the love
That I have shown you
I wont knock on your door
I wont call to see if youre home
But I wont close my eyes
Loves a matter of trust
And I just want to believe in us
But last night in your kiss
I felt a lie on your lips
I wont knock on your door
I wont call to see if youre home
But I wont close my eyes
There are two kinds of love
Those who are true and those untrue
I see black and white
Are you somewhere lost between the two
I wont knock on your door
I wont call to see if youre home
I wont knock on your door
I wont call to see if youre home
But, I wont close my eyes
No, I wont close my eyes

The Shoes Youre Wearing
Weve all seen enough wrong and right
To know everythings not black and white
Theres always something in between
No matter how long or well you live
You dont get anything you dont give
Still no slate is clean
For better or worse, anybody can
Take a look around and find a better man
Upright no matter how hes faring
No matter what kind of shoes hes wearing
The shoes hes wearing
They dont make the man
So many people out running around
Handicapped before they hit the ground
Thinking theres nowhere to go
Shouldnt we all be looking for ways
To keep on seeing our better days
Were not chained to what we know
But if your eyes are open and your mind is free
Theres no tellin what a man can be
Upright no matter how youre faring
No matter what kind of shoes youre wearing
The shoes youre wearing
They dont make the man
But if you cant walk through the best of times and the worst of times
Find your feet still walking the line
Youll never carry the load worth bearing
No matter what kind of shoes youre wearing
The shoes youre wearing
They wont make the man
The shoes youre wearing
They wont make the man

Oh-oo-oh, you think youre something else
Okay, so youre a rocket scientist

Dont Stand Another Chance
Standin at the edge of time bout to lose my mind
cause you try to take him away from me, I wont let it be
You just walk into my life and try to take away my only prize
But you better give credit cause his love is right here for me
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance

Take him in my arms, give him love, not too much of me
Nothin you can do or say to make him look your way
So you better give credit cause its gonna come walking my way
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance (ohh)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand)

Sit and wait at home bout to leave me alone (I know baby)
Youll be with him when hes up, not down, to keep him on the ground
Let me tell you something, its true, hes not in love with you
So you better give credit cause its nothing coming down your way
You dont stand another chance (not a chance, baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand, baby)
You dont stand another chance (baby) you dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
Well, you know somebodys gotta lose

Dont Let Me Lose This Dream
(aretha franklin / ted white)
If I lose this dream
I dont know what Im gonna do
If I lose this dream
Im dreaming about for me and you
If it goes away
I might as well hang it up
cause I dont know
If I have the heart or mind
To make it true
Or help it grow
And I only know, I only know, I only know
If I lose this dream
Its goodbye love and happiness, yes
Youre the one I need
I dont want a love
Thats second best
Thereve been all of my life
I wanted to do
That made me blue
Help me hold onto this dream
For sometimes dreams often come true
And they all come true, they all come true
For me and you
Wait a minute baby
Dont let me lose this dream
Baby, baby hold on
Dont let me lose my dream, no
Baby, baby be strong
You say that a-you believe that what I say is true
And that Im the one and only girl for you
Just tell me
That no matter what the people say
Youre in my corner all the way
And I wont lose this dream
Baby, baby hold on
Dont let me lose my dream, no
