Ooh yeah
Listen

I'm watching you watching me
Got this one desire that burns inside of me
The look on this face makes me ????? for you
You spin me 'round, you can make a strong man weak

I can't help myself this time, I just can't say no

Hey hey, bless my soul, I'm under your spell and I can't let go
You got me living in a fantasy, fascination's taken hold of me
Hey hey, I've gotta go, I want you so bad that I can't let go
If I could take just a little bit of time, see you down the line

Well, I'll see you, yeah

It's one on one, me and you
There's nowhere to run, I wanna see it through
Run and hide, a fire burns
There's no turning back, this is no return

I can't help myself this time, I just can't say no

Hey hey, bless my soul, I'm under your spell and I can't let go
You got me living in a fantasy, fascination's taken hold of me

If I could take just a little bit of time, see you down the line

Guess I'll see ya
Girl, I'll see you(?)
Baby, I'm seeing ya!(?)

I can't help myself this time, I just can't say no

Hey hey, bless my soul, I'm under your spell and I can't let go
You got me living in a fantasy, fascination's taken hold of me
Hey hey, I've gotta go, I want you so bad that I can't let go
If I could take just a little bit of time, see you down the line

Hey hey, bless my soul, I'm under your spell and I can't let go
You got me living in a fantasy, fascination's taken hold of me
Hey hey, I've gotta go, I want you so bad that I can't let go
If I could take just a little bit of time, see you down the line, yeah

Guess I'll see you
Yeah, down, down the line...

Same old place, same Old City, What can I do, I'm falling in love,
I'm just an old hound dog, Roaming around, oh lord,
I got all this and heaven above, Oh, Atlanta, hear me calling,

I'm coming back to you one fine day, No need to worry, there ain't no hurry, 'Cause I'm, on my way back to Georgia, On my way
back to Georgia.

I get a feeling when I remember, All the crazy days and
crazy nights, Country music playing, You must have heard
them saying, They're going to whip it up, And light up the lights

Oh, Atlanta, hear me calling, I'm coming back to you one fine day
No need to worry, there ain't no hurry, 'Cause I'm, on my way back to Georgia, On my way back to Georgia.

Same old place, it's the same old city, What can I do,
I'm falling in love, I'm just an old hound dog, Roaming around,
oh lord, I got all this and heaven above

Oh, Atlanta, hear me calling,
I'm coming back to you one
fine day,
No need to worry, there ain't no hurry,
'Cause I'm, well, Atlanta hear me calling,
I'm coming back to you one fine
day,
No need to worry, no need to hurry, 'Cause I'm, on my way back to Georgia,
On my way back to Georgia,
On my way back to Georgia,
On my way back to Georgia,
On my way back to Georgia,
On my way, on my way,
n my way back to Georgia,
Oh yeah, oh yeah,
Georgia on my mind,
On my way back to Georgia
Yes I'm on my way, yeah

I can't sleep tonight
The Manhattan skyline keeps shining through
I just call out your name
And pray to God I make it home to you

If there's such a thing as forever
Then I want to spend the time with you

You're never alone when you love someone
Even when they're so far away
You're never alone when you need someone
Just close your eyes and drift away

When you love someone

I made you promises
Did I let you down with those little white lies?
You let me hold on to my shattered dreams
And you never walked no damn(?) one step behind

If there's such a thing as forever
Then I want to spend the time with you

You're never alone when you love someone
Even when they're so far away
You're never alone when you need someone
Just close your eyes and drift away

Heaven knows I'm a friend to you
I brought my whole love around you
Never want to let you slip away
I wanna be the air that surrounds you
And when I think what you wanna do
I guess there's nothing left to say

The night fades away
Oh, I think of you as I face another day
You see, tomorrow I'm coming home to you
God only knows how I made a fool

You're never alone when you love someone
Even when they're so far away
You're never alone when you need someone
Just close your eyes and drift away

You're never alone when you love someone
Even when they're so far away
You're never alone when you need someone
Just close your eyes and drift away

Baby drift away
(You're never alone when you love someone)
You're never alone, even when they're so far away
When you love someone
(You're never alone when you need someone)
Just close your eyes and drift away
You're never alone, you're never alone...

Everybody wants a little piece of my time
But still I put you at the end of the line
How it breaks my heart to cause you this pain
To see the tears you cry falling like rain

Give me the chance to prove
And I'll make it up to you

I still believe in you
With a love that will always be, yeah
Standing so strong and true
Baby, I still believe in you and me

You know I believe in you, baby

Somewhere along the way, I guess I lost my track
Only thinking of myself, never looking back
For all the times I hurt you, I apologize
I'm sorry it took so long to finally realize

Give me the chance to prove
That nothing's worth losing you

I still believe in you
With a love that will always be, yeah
Standing so strong and true
Baby, I still believe in you and me

You see, I believe in you, baby
I believe in you
I still believe...

I still believe in you
With a love that will always be, yeah
Standing so strong and true
Baby, I still believe in... I still believe in you

(I still believe in you)
(With a love that will always be)
(Standing so strong and true)
(Baby, I still believe in you and me) You make me feel so good

(I still believe in you) I believe in you, I believe in you
(With a love that will always be) You know I do
(Standing so strong and true) You know I do, yeah
(Baby, I still believe in you and me) You know that I do

Baby, I believe in ya
Won't you believe in me too
And I'll make it up to you

Company always on the run.
Destiny is the rising sun, oh.

I was born, six gun in my hand.
Behind a gun I'll make my final stand.

It's why they call me
Bad Company and I can't deny
Bad Company 'til the day I die,
'Til the day I die, 'til the day I die.

Rebel souls, deserters we are
called.
Chose a gun and threw away the sword.
Now these towns, they all know
our name.
Six gun sound is our claim to
fame.

I can hear 'em say
Bad Company and I won't deny
Bad, Bad Company 'til the day I
die,
Die, 'til the day I die. Oh.
Hey, hey, hey.
Bad Company I can't deny,
Bad Company 'til the day I die,
That's what I said, Bad Company,
Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
Bad Company 'til the day I die, oh yeah.

[Ad-Lib to end.]

Oh yeah, oh yeah

You drive me crazy, every little thing about you
Can't get you out of my head
And when I'm with you, nothing seems to really matter
And every word that you say

I know our names ain't carved in stone
But right now I can't leave you alone
Infatuation's taken hold on me
I can't let you go, I won't let you go

How long have I been waiting on love
Now that I've found you, I can't get enough
How long have I been waiting on love
I've been waiting for somebody like you

You know I've been waiting

I always wanted someone to believe in me
Someone to show me the way
You came along and shone light into my darkness
You know it set me free

I know our names ain't carved in stone
But right now I can't leave you alone
Infatuation's taken hold on me
I can't let you go, I won't let you go

How long have I been waiting on love
Now that I've found you, I can't get enough
How long have I been waiting on love
I've been waiting for somebody like you

I've just got to let you know
Someone I wish to hold just to let my feelings show(?)
Never gonna let you slip away
I'm asking you to stay, yeah

Now that I've found you
Oh yeah

How long have I been waiting on love
Now that I've found you, I can't get enough
How long have I been waiting on love
I've been waiting for somebody like you

Yeah, you know I've been waiting
You know I've been waiting for somebody just like you
I've been waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for somebody just like you
For somebody, for somebody
I've been waiting, I've been waiting
Now that I've found you, ain't gonna let you go
For somebody...

We had it so good, I thought we had it so right
When I came home early one morning
And another man's arms were holding you tight

Now a young girl cries herself to sleep
'Cause her daddy ran away
And she doesn't know when she'll see him again
She's living from day to day

Is that all there is to love?
She finally turns and walk away
Is that all there is to love?
And face a little more everyday

I can still remember lying in my mother's arms
How it makes me feel so good
Now all it is, is a memory
'Cause it make me feel just like a child should

Now an old man sits by the telephone
Faded photos on the wall
You see, his wife died ten long years ago
And his children never seemed to call

Is that all there is to love?
And she finally turn and walk away
Is that all there is to love?
And face a little more everyday

Well, no, no, no, no, no
Is that all there is to love?
That's all there is to love
I guess that's all there is
Love, love, la la la la

. . .


It took me some time to believe my eyes,
well thinking back now I must have been blind,

When she said yes my resistance was gone,


make it together light up the night,
cause it loves so strong
and her legs are too long,
i don't care if its wrong
if it's right no no

you might think that I'm just haveing my fun,
its so much more than just a hit and run,
you've got to find the stick yea and my head it'll spin
if loving is wrong I'm guilty as sin


make it together light up the night,
cause it loves so strong
and her legs are too long,
i don't care if its wrong
if it's right no no

your vision never fades away,
I keep on thinking 'bout you night and day,
hold my hand and let me hold you tight,
you know babe gonna love you tonight


make it together light up the night,
cause it loves so strong
and her legs are too long,
i don't care if its wrong
if it's right no no

well it loves so strong
and her legs are too long
i don't care if its wrong
if it's right no no

. . .


In the beginning, I believed every word that you said,
Now that you're gone my world is in shreds.
Oh, you loved me and left me,
You took all the things that I needed so bad,
I'm standing here wondering where is the love that I had?
Oh, give me silver, blue and gold,
The colour of the sky I'm told,
My ray-ay-ain-bow is overdue.

In the beginning, yeah,
There was something of love that was mine,
Now that it's gone, whoa, I'm cryin'.

Oh, the time that it takes for a love
To grow cold is a wonder to me,
I'm walkin' around with my head
Hangin' down, tell me where is she?

Give me silver, blue and gold,
The colour of the sky I'm told,
My ray-ay-ain-bow is overdue.

Don't forsake me 'cause I love you.
Don't forsake me 'cause I love you.
Give me silver, blue and gold,
The colour of the sky I'm told.
My ray-ay-ain-bow is overdue.
Give me silver, blue and gold,
The colour of the sky I'm told.
My ray-ay-ain-bow is overdue.
Now, give me silver, blue and gold,
The colour of the sky I'm told.
My ray-ay-ain-bow is overdue, yeah.

Oh, don't forsake me 'cause I love you.
Don't forsake me 'cause I love you, yeah.

Take me inside, don't leave me here
I'm breaking in two, shaking with fear
Throw me a line, or let me go
Just don't leave me here in the rain

My soul is on fire, I'm a desperate man
I'm battered and torn, I do what I can
Just look at these tears, flow down my face
Take me in out of the rain

Take me inside, lay me down
I'll love you now and always
Give me a sign, or let me go
Just don't leave me here in the rain
I said don't leave me here in the rain

Twisting our fate, send our lives down
Out of control, spinning around


Take me inside, lay me down
I'll love you now and always
Give me a sign, or let me go
Just don't leave me here in the rain
I said don't leave me here in the rain

~Guitar Solo~

Take me inside, lay me down
I'll love you now and always
Give me a sign, or let me go


Take me inside, lay me down
I'll love you now and always
Give me a sign, or let me go
Just don't take me out of the rain
Said don't leave me here in the rain
I said don't leave me here in the rain
I said don't leave me here in the rain

Said don't
Shaking with fear
You know how I feel
Out of control

Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatle song,
'Love me do,' I think it was. From there it didn't take him long.
Got himself a guitar, used to play every night,
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit,

And everything's all right, don't you know?

Johnny told his mama, hey, 'Mama, I'm goin' away. I'm gonna hit the big
time, gonna be a big star someday', Yeah.
Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye.
Johnny said, 'Don't cry, mama, smile and wave good-bye'.

Don't you know, yeah yeah, Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Don't you know, don't you know. Don't you know that you are
a shooting star, And all the world will love you just as long,
As long as you are.

Johnny made a record, Went straight up to number one,
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing the song.
Watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast.
Johnny looked around him and said, 'Well, I made the big time at last'.

Don't you know, don't you know, Don't you know that you are
a shooting star,
Don't you know, oh, yeah, Don't you know that you are
a shooting star, yeah,
And all the world will love you just as long,
As long as you are, a shooting star.

Don't you know that you are a shooting star, Don't you know, yeah,
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, now,
And all the world will love you just as long, As long you are you.

Johnny died one night, died in his bed, Bottle of whiskey,
sleeping tablets by his head. Johnny's life passed him by like a
warm summer day, If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play

Oh oh oh, Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Don't you know, yeah, don't you know', Don't you know that
you are a shooting star,
Don't you know, yeah,
Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Don't you, don't you,
don't you, don't you,
Don't you know, don't you
know, oh, yeah, you are,
Yeah, a shooting star, yeah, oh
oh oh oh oh......
Don't you, don't you know
that you are a shooting star,
Don't you don't you know......
