Don't Play That Game With Me

Our love affair was like a movie show
So beautiful and true
Each piece of love was wild and full of fire
And the stars were me and you
How could I know you found another guy
The way you acted out your part
And then you stayed away so many nights
You knew then it would tear my heart apart

CHORUS:
Don't play that game with me
Not that game with me
Your love never, never will I share
Don't play that game with me
Not that game with me
With that other, other guy, it's not fair

You tried to tell me he was just a fling
A little stop along the way
But I can tell you it's something more than that
In spite of all the things you say

You've gotta choose between the two of us
You gotta choose that guy or me
I can't go on not knowing where I stand
If you want him, then set me free, set me free

CHORUS...

I'm tired of all your lies
You're playin' with me
So stop your foolin' around
I beg you, please

CHORUS...


You're So Different Tonight

Baby, I've never seen you look the way you do
There's something in your eyes
Maybe I, I should tell you how I feel for you
I want your love to be mine

CHORUS:
Cause you're so different tonight
You shine when you walk in the room
Yoy're so different tonight
Seems all the boys have eyes for you - hypnotise
I fantasise
Ooh, ooh, ooh ...
Tell me you feel it too
No one could ever look the way you do

Lately I, I've been thinking about you and me
And what the future has in store
Lately, I need to tell you what I really need
I want your love for evermore

CHORUS ...

Oh baby, I love you
I want you to feel like I do


Respect

I swear I'll answer no charges
Of theft or purgery
When through neglect you
lose the one that you love
It's not easy to see
So,

CHORUS:
You should have shown some respect
Should have made her feel special
You should have shown some respect
What you deserve is what you get
What you deserve is what you get

No use in saying sorry
Not much that you can do now
No use in saying you'll be good to her
She don't think you know how

CHORUS ...


Lyin In The Arms Of The One You Love

This life has taken me so far there's so
many roads I've had to choose
Some win, some lose
This life has been a gamble, I've held my cards close
to my chest
I've played the part
Somehow the mists of time have washed all over me
The comfort of your arms is where I need to be

CHORUS:
(Cause) when you're lyin in the arms of the one you love
And got your faith in God above
And you feel like you're riding on the wind
When you're lyin in the arms of the one you love
And you know it's good from the stars above
Ooh, that's love

I get so tired of dreaming, where is the fire that burned inside
With all its pride
The flame became a candle so fragile with the autumn wind
The need to win
Somehow the sands of time weigh heavy over me
Wrapped in your lovin' arms is where I'd rather be

CHORUS ...


Don't Stop This Love

I've heard some people say
Good love is hard to find
And then you came my way
You set my heart on fire
I hold inside a burning flame
It burns for you
I've seen it all before, this time I know it's true

CHORUS:
Don't stop this love we started
We'd end up broken hearted
I never felt this way girl
Can't find the words to say girl
Don't stop this way we're feeling
Good love that we believe in
You send my whole world reelin'
I won't stop my lovin' for you

No fear of losing you
No empty hearts in sight
We'll never fool around
Or hurt each other's pride
For you my arms are open wide
Come inside
Two hearts that beat as one
True love to count upon

CHORUS ...

Don't stop this! Don't stop this love!
Don't stop this
Don't stop this good love
Rocking good love girl


The Rain Came Down

I called you on the phone tonight
Said you were doing fine
I held my breath, said I'm alright
But we read between the lines
I asked you are you all alone
You paused before you answered
I swallowed hard, apologised
You said it doesn't matter

And then the rain came down
The rain came down

Like tears against my window pane
They cry instead of me
My heart is numb and cries no more
For fading memories

But still the rain comes down
The rain comes down

Just like tears from up above
Falling down upon my world
See the rain come tombling down
Well I just can't comprehend
How it all went wrong back then
Should have held on, should have been strong
Should have never let it end

Your photograph's still standing here
Feels like you're watching me
But photographs can't fill this space
Or give the love I need

Still the rain comes down
The rain comes down


Chasing Shadows

Tried to carry on by myself
This heart of mine don't want no one else
My tears of emptiness
Cry out for your caress
I just can't hide this feeling inside of me

-So now I'm

CHORUS:
Chasing shadows in the moonlight
Yes, I'm flying high across the sky
-You know I'm
Chasing shadows in the moonlight
Just to be with you tonight

Silent thoughts that run through my mind
keeps the magic burning inside
Still endless days grow cold
Without you're love I'm sold
This secret feeling burning inside of me

CHORUS ...

Chasing shadows
Moonlight shadows


One Night In Vienna

I was walking the streets of Vienna
Just a'shootin my mind
Whan an angel of the night
She stopped, said are you looking for a good time
Well I'd had me a whisky or two
And I had nothing else better to do so
I said come on let's get down
And she blew my - mind

CHORUS:
One night in Vienna
I was your lover, you were my friend
One night in Vienna
One night I never wanted to end
One night in Vienna
Is one night I remember
Oh, oh, oh

Said I'd meet her on the corner
Same time, same place
Lots of street girls passed me by but
no sign of my angel's face
Then another one stopped me
And I couldn't resist
But she left me standing with a keepsake and a kiss

CHORUS ...

I often wonder whatever happened to my angel

One Night in Vienna etc..


All My Life

You, you are my life, you are my only possession
And I will love you all my life
Years, years ago, you were my only obsession
And I have loved you all my life

You flew to me like a bird on the wing
When, when I was down you stayed with me through the bad times
For that I will love you all my life

We can say we are free
We don't need any more, we don't need any more

You, you are my life, you are my only possession
And I will love you all my life

Now there is no more, nothing less than the good times
And I will be with you all my life
Moments of you with some moments of silence
And I'll give you guidance all my life


I'd Die For You

You look so sad in your eyes
We now have to pay our price
Cause you are running around
With another guy
You must decide where you stand
And you know I must ask
you again and again -
(Baby I love you)
Tell me that your love is
still the same

CHORUS:
I'd die for you my baby
I'd lie for you my baby
I cry for you when you are not here by my side

I had a dream last night
You were not here by my side
And we were fighting against each other
I feel the pain in my heart
Don't you know you are playing the part again and again
Tell me that your love is still the same

CHORUS
I'd dis
I'd lie
I'd cry for you, for you


Remember The Days

Remember the days I used to bring you roses
Remember the days I used to hold you close to me
Now they're gone and I've lost my time
Never more will you be mine

Remember the days I used to send you flowers
Remember the calls that used to last for hours
Now they're gone so I take my fall
Get my chance to take it all

I, I really missed you
I, I need to kiss you
Please change your mind and find the time to call
I, I feel do hazy
You, you drive me crazy
Please change your mind and we can have it all
Now it's gone so I take my fall
Get my chance to take it all

CHORUS

It wasn't so long ago you called me darling
I was your blue eyed boy, you were my only toy
Now it's gone and I've lost my time
Never more will you be mine


Scream You Guitar

I worshipped you
Treasured you
Drove my soul inside of you
Dreamed a dream for me and you
That's turned into a nightmare
And like a drug
I can't break loose
I've died a million times for you
Just like a leech you suck from me
The hope, the strenght left in me
My sanity still clings to me
I've bared my soul for all to see
Sold my very history
A song to please the nation
I turn my frown to dancing clown
Sing my songs, turn on the charm
My guitar plays for you

CHORUS:
So scream you guitar
Scream for my pain
Cry for your share of this fortune and fame
Scream you guitar
Scream for the shame
You cannot escape your share of the blame

Yet still I find this need in me
To prove myself to all who see
That I am what I dreamed I'd be
And I will live forever
At centre stage I'll take my place
Emotion drawn upon my face
My guitar slung around my waist
I'm here to play for you

CHORUS ...
