One little white lie
One white lie surrounds us
One white lie won't stop the love
That I feel around us

Darlin', do you think about me?
What I feel for you, don't you ever doubt me?
You see the lock on the door
Of this heart, but you hold the key
I need the trust you can give
Is there something that you need from me?

One little white lie
One white lie surrounds us
One white lie won't stop the love
That I feel around us

Secrets, and the way we keep them
Between you and me
Promise we'll never need them
I can see something so true
No one else could ever see
And I'll never chance losing you
I believe my heart, I hear what it's telling me

One little white lie
One white lie surrounds us
One white lie won't stop the love
That I feel around us

One little white lie
One white lie tears us apart
One white lie won't stop the love
That's waiting in this heart
That's waiting in this heart

Temptation leave us alone
'Cause I know you're always there
But white lies can weigh like a stone
And in this world I hear them everywhere

One little white lie, oh yeah
One white lie surrounds us
One white lie won't stop the love
That I feel around us

One little white lie, one lie
One white lie tears us apart
One white lie won't stop the love
That's waiting in this heart
That's waiting in this heart

One lie, one lie
One little white lie, one white lie
One white lie, one little white lie

Brother, always reaching far too high
But I can see the tragic side and it ain't easy
And brother, you won't let anybody help
Why do you sacrifice yourself?
You can't go on this way

Tell me why, oh why?
Why don't you open up your heart?
Let the light from inside
Show us who you are

And when it looks like rain
And when the dark clouds fill your sky
There ain't no good reason why
You gotta feel the pain

Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the sun's gonna shine
Even when it looks like rain

Hey sister, another story must be told
Just count the blessings you still hold
What's done is done
Hey sister, you can find the one you need
Don't have to live the life you lead
Don't be the lonely one

Tell me why, oh why?
Why don't you open up your heart?
Let the light from inside
Show us who you are

And when it looks like rain
And when the dark clouds fill your sky
There ain't no good reason why
You gotta feel the pain

Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the sun's gonna shine, oh

Don't get down and don't get washed away, oh
Just remind yourself, every day
That into each life, a little rain must fall
So let it rain, rain, oh

Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the sun's gonna shine
Even when it looks like rain

Rain, rain, rain
When it looks like rain

. . .


When I was young
and the world belonged to me

I thought that love
meant pain and jealousy

It was a cross on my shoulder
Oh lord, now I feel so much older

Time had a way
of making me see
my lonely life
has taken its toll on me

Now I feel the emptyness
and I don't want to live like this

Now I've heard stories, I've heard songs
Telling me believe my heart, don't wait too long
with words that don't ring true
until there was you

Never will I lose this heart's desire
ever will I feed our love' fire
Only when I know that you'll be mine
until the end of time...

How do I trust
what I'm beginning to feel?
and how deep my soul,
how much can I reveal?

I'm lost in life's mystery
I'm caught between time
and eternity

Now there's a door that opens wide
Slowly I will find my way and reach inside
I couldn't make it through
until there was you

Never will I lose this heart's desire
Ever will I feed our love's fire
Only when I know that you'll be mine
And only when I see the light of love shine,
until the end of time...

Never will I lose this heart's desire
Ever will I feed our love's fire
only when I know that you'll be mine
and only when I see the light of love shine

Never will I lose this heart's desire
Ever will I feed our love's fire
and when I see the light of love shine
in your eyes,
when they need mine,

Only when I know that you and I...
until the end of time

. . .


So I walk another mile down this crooked road
Clouds rolling in Lord it's getting cold
Feeling fine, feel lost, feeling blue tonight
But my only friend is Mr. Moonlight

Then I see you girl lost in your book of poems
You're in another world, I should leave you alone
My heart races on I try and hold it back
But like a runaway train I'm about to jump the tracks

Now you say you need a friend
I swear to you if that's what you need
That's what I'll be but I hope this never ends
I feel there's something more the way you look at me

And that's all I need to know
I won't question why, don't need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes, that's all I need to know

Now we're talking 'bout angels that have lost their wings
This melancholy world and the nature of things
But them there's only silence when your eyes meet mine
Sends a shiver to my soul runs deeper than time

Reciting from your black book you were like some wounded bird
I tried to catch your heart as it fell between your words
You tore out one page and let it blow away
Then you disappeared into your world, it's a place I just can't stay

You say you need a friend
I swear to you if that's what you need
That's what I'll be but I hope this never ends
I feel there's something more the way you look at me

And that's all I need to know
I won't question why, don't need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes, that's all I need to know

All I need to know
I won't question why, don't need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
But it's right here in my heart, that's all I need to know

That's all I need to know
I won't question why, don't need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes, that's all I need to know

All I need to know
I won't question why, don't need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
But it's right here in my heart, that's all I need to know

That's all I need to know
That's all I need to know
That's all I need to know
All I need to know

. . .


Seeing you
Watching you, watching me
I hold back my emotions
I keep them veiled in secrecy

Can't let go of this thing we've started
Wasn't looking for love
No conspiracy of the broken hearted
I don't know how far to go
Until I'm gone, gone, gone

I couldn't see the danger
It was just a little taste of temptation
I could not read the silence
That was written on your face
But here comes that feeling again

And there's nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
There's nothing more I can say
I'm still running the risk of you walking away

I'm lost drowning in a sea of emotion
I got one simple need
I need you to feel my devotion
I don't know how far to go
Until I'm gone, yeah gone

It's a complicated picture
I'm all tangled up in temptation
I couldn't read the silence
That was written on your face
But here comes that feeling again

And there's nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
There's nothing more I can say
I'm still running the risk of you walking away

I'm running the risk of losing you
I'm walking this tightrope, you're my only hope
There's nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
Losing you

And now there's nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
There's nothing more I can say
I'm still running the risk of you walking away

I'm running the risk of losing you
I'm walking this tightrope, darling, you're my only hope
There's nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
I'm running the risk of losing you

I'm telling you honey, this heart of mine
Can't run the risk of losing you again
I've done everything, one man can do
I'm still running the risk of losing you

. . .


Days, times we will remember when innocence was lost
We let our hearts move on
So many dreams we thought would last forever today it doesn't matter
All those dreams are gone, they are gone, ooh

Tell me how it feels again, oh, show me that it's real and then
I'll walk away, from my own reflection
The stranger that I knew, the stranger that was you
And now I face a cold return to sender, a truce but no surrender
A voice that won't ring true, where are you? Ooh

I reach over the edge and throw a penny in the wishing well
It's so deep that I can tell

That in the real world
There's fewer stars in the sky
And in the real world
You can get hear children cry at night
This is the real world

There is no time, for a life of solitude only hunger and survival
In the world we were born into, we're alone, ooh
And it brings me to my knees our father lay me down to sleep
Father please, pray the Lord my soul to keep

Keep us in the real world, keep us in the real world
Don't have to tell you in the real world
They'll damn you if you try
In the real world let it begin with you and I

This is the real world
There's fewer stars in the sky
This is the real world
You can get hear children cry at night

Now in the real world
They'll damn you if you try
And in the real world
Let it begin with you and I

Living in the real world
Yeah, living in the real world

Big Dog

[No lyrics]

I can feel these four walls around me
I can feel them closing in on me
But I know there's someone out there
Ready and waiting for the chance to set me free

I don't want nothing, ain't looking for no one
You walk into my life

Well, I ain't no hopeless romantic
I've gotta listen to my cautious heart
I've been dealing with my illusions of love
I built it up and then I tear it apart

And I feel this rising suspicion
That my heart will ever rule my mind
Well, I'm guilty of love by my own admission
Come on, girl, let me do my time

Hey, when I call you
I need to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, when I fall through
I need to fill the hole in my soul

Don't need no sisters of mercy
They set me off like a loaded gun
Ain't nothing in this world possessing me
Honey, you're the only one

Can't live in this empty sadness
It's more than we can endure
Well, wise men say that love is madness
Come on, girl, I say love is the cure

Hey, when I call you
I need to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, when I fall through
I need to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, without you
I will fall through the hole in my soul

Hey, when I call you
I need to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, when I fall through
I need to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, without you
I will fall through the hole in my soul

Hey, I need you
I need you to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, I want you to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, hey, hey, I need you to fill the hole in my soul

. . .


As I gather my thoughts with the pieces of my heart
Tell me, how long is forever
I'm not afraid and I won't be torn apart
We've had our time together

Now I make my new beginnings
I'll start again at any cost
I've learned a lot from losing you
But I've got nothing if I'm lost

And I keep hoping and I still believe in love
If I wait long enough, I know I'll be strong enough
Yeah, I keep hoping, I believe in faith and trust
I'm gonna find a way there are better days still ahead of us
I keep hoping

Now this candle burns low it won't last through the night
But I've found peace and I know it's all right
I try to understand what's been missing in my life
Between the darkness and the daylight

No I'm not expecting miracles
I've got my doubts like any other one
I've learned a lot from losing you
But I've got nothing if I'm lost

And I keep hoping, I still believe in love
If I wait long enough, I know I'll be strong enough
And I keep hoping, I believe in faith and trust
There'll be better days, they're on their way now

I keep hoping, I keep hoping
I keep hoping and praying baby, ooh
And I still believe in love

I keep hoping baby, ooh
I'm gonna find a way
I keep hoping baby
There are better days, ooh, better days

I keep hoping, hoping and praying
And I still believe in love
I keep hoping, I keep hoping, hey hey hey
I keep hoping

. . .


Good girl on a bad day
She needs love in a bad way
Victim in a red dress
She won't give no more and don't take no less

Walking up the west side
She bought a ticket for the long ride
Well, she's ripe for the take
But it's no show, late night
Talkin' 'bout no go, red light

When she put on a show
How far will she go
She says yes when she means no

Under the gun
She can't walk away
She can't run
Under the gun, yeah, under the gun

She's got wicked intentions
She'll use less than conventional ways
She'll do things I can't mention
But there are some games
That she just won't play

Walking on the wild side
She bought a ticket for the long ride
Yeah, she's mine for the take
But it's no show, late night
Talkin' 'bout no go, red light

When she put on a show
How far will she go
She says yes when she means no

Under the gun
She can't walk away
You can't run
Under the gun, yeah, yeah, under the gun

Under the gun
Now, she can't walk away
You can't run
Under the gun, under the gun

When she put on a show
How far will she go
She says yes when she means no

Under the gun
She can't walk away
She can't run
Under the gun, yeah, yeah, under the gun

Under the gun
You can't walk away
You can't run
Under the gun, under the gun

Under the gun
Now, you can't walk away
You can't run
Under the gun, under the gun

Under the gun
You can't walk away
Under the gun

Foreigner - Hand On My Heart

Rescue me
I can't dream this dream any more, my dream oh my dream
Set me free
I keep holdin' on but
I don't know what for

All I know
Is that I've breathed your name for what feels like a lifetime
I can't let go, you're a part of me

And I die each time
I lose a little more of you
And I look for a sign, to give me hope
We'll find a love we once knew

And all I know
Is when we're face to face when there's no one between us
With one last embrace, we'll let time heal the pain

Keep your hand on my heart don't let go
I can't see you're too close to me
Don't leave me in the dark, keep your hand on my heart
Oh please, only you, lonely me

It's not enough, to simply talk about love
As if it were in our control
Now as I struggle with the past, I can't think about the future
It's so hard to let go

And all I know
Is I still whisper your name, girl it won't be the last time
As our lives go separate ways
And let time heal the pain

Keep your hand on my heart don't let go
I can't see you're too close to me
Don't leave me in dark, keep your hand on my heart
Oh please, only you, lonely me

Keep your hand on my heart don't let go
I can't see you're too close to me
Don't leave me in dark, keep your hand on my heart
Oh please

Keep your hand on my heart don't let go
I can't see you're too close to me
Don't leave me in dark, keep your hand on my heart
Oh please, only you, lonely me
Only you, lonely me

. . .


I always thought we were in control
But our lives could never be what they were before
There's a rhythm in our love
Only you and I can feel it
Outsiders in a world where passion is a crime
So we conceal it

Now this hard road leaves a bitter taste at the bottom of my cup
But if I got you, no way, I'll never give up
Tonight, tomorrow, don't know how far we'll get
With the blue moonlight beyond another deep sunset
I'll be ready when there's nowhere to run
Yeah I been waiting for the heartache to come

Crash and burn
Deep inside your heart
Crash and burn
Oh yeah
Crash and burn
Love moves too fast
I lose control
I'll never learn
Crash and burn

Now I believe there's a way for us
There'll come a time, there'll come a day for us
Unleash this heart and let the spirit free
It's the emotional part
It's a deep and dangerous thing
But I'll be ready when there's nowhere to run
See I been waiting for the heartache to come

Crash and burn
Deep inside your heart
Crash and burn
Do you feel it?
Crash and burn
Love moves too fast
I lose control
I'll never learn
Crash and burn

Now I'm ready and there's nowhere to run
I'm waiting, waiting for the heartache to come

Crash and burn
Deep inside your heart
Crash and burn
Oh yeah
Crash and burn
Love moves too fast
I lose control
Crash and burn

Oh yeah
Crash and burn
Can you feel it?
Crash and burn
Love's straight ahead
I won't slow down
And I won't turn
Crash and burn

Crash and burn
Can you feel it?
Crash and burn
Crash and burn
Crash and burn
