Foreigner Album

I'm tired of all this cheap talk
When you walk next to me
They say I ain't good enough for you
Why don't they come and tell me
When they see us out in the night
They can't wait to tear us apart
Now I hear them saying lovin' you ain't right
Well they'd better be ready 'cause honey I'll be there

I will fight tooth and nail
Count on me, I will not fail you
I will fight tooth and nail

They say I'm always breaking promises
And I'm just fooling with you
Then they try and come between the two of us
Man, that's a bad thing to do
I can say I had more than enough
But I ain't gonna take it too hard
I said hey, they want to play rough
Well let's see who backs down when the trouble starts

I will fight tooth and nail
Count on me, I will not fail you
I will fight tooth and nail

Come on try me, I won't give in
They take advantage, but they can't win
I'll be your man, baby, wait and see
Ain't nobody, nobody take your love from me

I will fight tooth and nail
I was wrong, I will not fail you
I will fight tooth and nail

I'll be your man, baby, wait and see
Ain't nobody, nowhere take your love away from me

I will fight tooth and nail
Count on me, I will not fail you
I will fight tooth and nail

Right now, tooth and nail
I am waiting for the fight
Tooth and nail
Right now, c'mon, tooth and nail
Right now, tooth and nail
C'mon, tooth and nail
Ah fight
Tooth and nail
Right now, c'mon, tooth and nail
C'mon, right now, tooth and nail

I
thought I knew you well
But all this time
I could never tell
I
Let you get away
Haunts me every night and every day
You
Were the only one
The only friend that I counted on
How
Could I watch you walk away?
I'd give anything to have you here today
But now
I stand alone with my pride
And dream
That you're still by my side

But that was yesterday
I had the world in my hands
But it's not the end of my world
It's just a slight change of plans
That was yesterday
But today life goes on
No more hiding in yesterday
'Cause yesterday's gone
Ooh..................

Love
My love I gave it all
Thought I saw the light
When I heard you call
Life
That we both could share
Has deserted me
Left me in despair
But now
I stand alone with my pride
Fighting back the tears
I never let myself cry
But that was yesterday
Love was took from my hands
But it's not the end of my world
It's just a little hard to understand
That was yesterday
But today life goes on
You won't find me in yesterday's world
Now yesterday's gone
Goodbye yesterday
Now it's over and done
Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart
Yesterday will live on
Ooh..............

I've gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Ohhhh
Oo oh oh oh oh

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like the world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life thereґs been heart-ache and pain
I donґt know if I can face it again
Canґt stop now
Iґve travelled so far
to change this lonely life

Chorus
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

Iґm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
Iґve got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
In my life thereґs been heartache and pain
I donґt know if I can face it again
Canґt stop now
Iґve travelled so far to change this lonely life

Chorus 5X

He's got nothing to say, he's got no excuse
He's just made that way, and he's gonna stay that way
Like a dog on the loose in a firework display, in a world of his own
No, no, no, he won't back down or go running back home
He's come a long way in life
He's got a long way to go
And he don't even know, but he don't care because
He's growing up the hard way
In and out of trouble every day
He's growing up the hard way
No tellin' where you'll end up, boy
He's got nothing to say, like he's lost for words, his mind's in a daze
That's his way, it's just a little game he plays
He's got nowhere to run, while the city sleeps he wanders alone
Cuttin' through the steel and the hearts of stone
He's come a long way in life
He's got a long way to go
He don't even know, but he don't care because
He's growing up the hard way
In and out of trouble every day
Growing up the hard way
You'd better walk the straight and narrow
Growing up the hard way
In and out of trouble every day
Growing up the hard way
Never know what you're in for, boy
He's come a long way in life
He's got a long way to go
He don't wanna know, and he don't care because
He's growing up the hard way
In and out of trouble every day
He's growing up the hard way
Yeah-and he's gonna stay that way
You see, he's growing up the hard way
Wlak the straight and narrow, yeah, maybe someday
But still he's growing up the hard way
It's just the way he's grown up
He's growing up the hard way
There ain't no other way
Growing up the hard way

It's hard getting through to me
I'm truly elusive
I got my own point of view
I am one of a kind
And I tell you l'il girl
I'm fascinated by you
There's something about you
That makes all the difference
Like the night is to day
Well, I can get along without you
But I know that within you
You've got what I'm missing
And I'll find a way
To get reaction to action
Hey, say the word that would thrill me
I need reaction to action
Just one look that would kill me
You got a way of drawing attention to you
You know you stand out in a crowd
But the way that you play
With any man's affections
Should never be allowed
See, I consider myself
The one who will show you
I'd go as far as to say
Girl, I ain't leaving here without you
But you better understand
There's only one rule in this game we're gonna play
And that's reaction to action
Maybe like a word that would thrill me
I need reaction to action
One look that would kill me
Give me reaction to action
It's getting late, I'd better make a definite move
Reaction to action
And after that baby, it's up to you
I need reaction to action
Just a word that would thrill me
I need reaction to action
You know what I'm talking about
Give me some reaction to action
You got a look, you got a way that'll kill me
Reaction to action
Baby, don't think about it, just react
Reaction to action
Reaction to action
Reaction to action

(a capella: she said: boy, your luck is running out...she make me feel like a stranger...in my own house)
I come stumbling in at a quarter to three
To the sound of my own dog growlin' at me
I'm scared to move or turn on a light
You've got me creepin' around in the dark
Like a thief in the night
I've got no excuse, I should have known
I've got no place to live
I never feel at home

I walk into the kitchen to see what's there
I'm tired and I'm hungry but the cupboard's bare
I've been working all day and all night too
I can't believe this is all I have to come back to

I guess I'll take a look upstairs, in the danger zone
I wonder what I'm doing here
When I never feel at home

I'm a stranger in my own house
I've got the keys to the door
But I'm still locked out
I'm a stranger in my own house
I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow this house down
Can't be a stranger in my own house

I see the do not disturb sign on my bedroom door
What is this sheet and pillow laying on the floor
I wore out my welcome
I hear you loud and clear
It's time to get a few things straight around here

I've got no excuse, I should have known
I've got a place to live but I never feel at home
I'm just a stranger in my own house
I've got the keys to the door
But I'm still locked out
Stranger in my own house
I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow this house down
Can't be a stranger in my own house

I've got no excuse, I should have known
With a woman like you I'm better off alone
I'm a stranger in my own house
I've got the keys to the door
But I'm still locked out
I'm just a stranger in my own house
Oh, honey I'm home
I'm just a stranger in my own house
I'm just a stranger in my own house
You got a lion on your hands girl, not a mouse!
I'm just a stranger in my own house
I'm just a stranger in my own house
Well, somebody's got to go...
Stranger
Stranger

Long night, too long and lonely
Laying there asking myself
Hey, what's going on with you and me
How could I be so unaware
So blind I could not see
Knowing you'd be there
And always would be

Is anyone to blame but me
I've been so concerned with myself
Now I need you desperately
If you've fallen for another
Let's be honest with each other
Is there still a chance
And maybe hope to save our romance

We can't be strangers
You mean too much to me
I won't let this be a love in vain
Don't want the loneliness
Of just a memory
I don't want a love in vain

Just one more night, I want to spend with you
We'll let our hearts do the talking
Like we used to do
We'll make our first kiss last forever
Put the pieces back together
'cause there's still a chance
There may be hope to save our romance

We can't be strangers
You mean to much to me
I won't let this be a love in vain, don't want a love in vain
I don't want the loneliness
Of just a memory
Don't want a love in vain

Oh, woman look what you've done to me
I'll show you how this love should be
Don't let it be a love in vain
Please don't, don't you know
You got my heart on a string
Don't let go
Don't let this love be a love in vain

We can't be strangers
It's not our destiny
I won't let this be a love in vain, don't want a love in vain
Don't want the loneliness
Of just a memory
Don't let this be a love in vain

Some people stay all alone and hide
They don't even want to know the reason why
They've given up on finding someone new
But new love comes, it's gonna come for you
When true love comes, it's gonna comfort you

Now you say you've got a broken heart
You oughta know this side of love can leave you torn apart
Dry your eyes 'cause your heart's gonna mend
And maybe tonight you'll fall in love again
Yeah, maybe tonight you'l fall in love again

But I know, I know that you're down on love
But you're wrong, so wrong
To be down on love

Now love seems so far away
Your skies are so cloudy
And the tears come like fallin' rain
Face up to it and don't pretend
And maybe tonight you'll fall in love again
Yeah, maybe tonight you'll fall in love again
Just once in a life you'll realize
When love takes two, only one heart cries

But you're wrong, so wrong to be down on love
You know you're not the only one
See I've been down on love

In matters of the heart
You better know before you start
You can't get down on love

So always be prepared
To be alone and a little scared
But never down on love

You see you can't stay down forever, girl
Down on love
Come on, now
Don't get down on love
This ain't right baby, no
Down on love
Don't you go through life livin' down on love
Down on love
Don't you go through life livin' down on love
Down on love
Don't you go through life down on love
Down on love
Down on love

I know this girl, she's always on my mind
She lives in her world and I live in mine
I should forget about her and I've tried, oh Lord knows I've tried
But I want to know her, and here's the other side

I've got someone waiting for me every night
She's the only one I've ever loved, it's been that way for the longest time
And she's the one that makes my world go right
And it tears me in two because I know where I'll be tonight

I think she knows it
I think she knows

I live in two different worlds, two different worlds
One that belongs to me, one could be wrong for me
Two different worlds, two different worlds
Ohh, it's two different worlds

Is she that different or is it the thrill of someone new?
Strung out on her, I need her love, I need it bad, that I know, I know it's true
I'm the one that lies awake alone
And I know, she's the one that makes me stray from home

And I know it
Yeah, I know it

I live in two different worlds, two different worlds
One that I may regret, one that I can't forget
Two different worlds, two different worlds
Ohh, it's two different worlds

No, I can't explain this emptiness
No, I know that I can't go on like this
Two different worlds, two different worlds

Ohh, it's two different worlds, I live in two different worlds
One that I may regret, and one that I won't forget
Two different worlds, but I can't live in both, I know
One world I must let go

My girl, everybody says she's alright
And I know that she's more than alright
Well she's a hard headed woman
Got a mean attitude
I may have bitten off
More than I can chew
I get a little light-headed
At her altitude
But she goes one step higher

If I'm going to spend
The rest of my life
With a woman like that
I better think twice

{Chorus}:
She's too tough
I said she's too tough
From the moment she wakes up
Her mind is made up
She's too tough

She's too tough

My girl she's got a way about her
I know I can never live without her
She's a hard headed woman
So hard to please
She's got her own way
Of dealing with me
I'm out on a limb
I'm a cat up a tree
But this tree's on fire

I want that woman
For the rest of my life
I don't know if I'm
Up to payin' the price

{Chorus}

You hear, she's too tough
Well I don't believe
I'll ever leave her
She's too tough, she's too tough

Well if I'm gonna spend
The rest of my life
With a woman like her
I'd better think twice

{Chorus}

That's right

She's too tough
If I do what I'm told
She's gooder than gold to me
She's too tough

I said she's too tough
When push comes to shove
This must be love
She's too tough

Yeah, she's too tough
Well I don't believe
I'd ever leave her
Never leave her
She's too tough, she's too tough
