Hard Rain Album

Well, you walked me out in the pouring rain
I want to tell you when you're wet like that I'm going to go insane
Don't want to make a fuss, I'm going to testify
I've got to get a little love, get a little love, ain't no lie

When you fired me up, I never will forget
Come on and take me to your room, you know I'm going to try and make you sweat
So keep the lights turned up, don't want to run and hide
You know I never want to stop, going to take you to the other side

Every night, I'm going to think about you
Every night

Eat it up, I want to slip inside
Eat it up, I want to take a ride
Now you're coming like a midnight flyer
Shaking like a desperate liar
Eat it up

You got a dirty mind, don't have to justify
You needn't tell me your past and I don't even want the reason why
Well, you can make it up, don't have to pacify
You got to give me all you got, give me all you got, I'm on fire

Well, there's nothing in this world you can't break, I know it's obvious
And it's possible to fake, who you going to trust?
So don't believe it when they tell you I lie, thought you were sensible
Intoxicated mind can be vulnerable

There ain't nothing I would hide from you now, don't be ridiculous
Sometimes you're just too proud and impetuous
If you really think it's better, go slowm it ain't just sexual
I want everyone to know were inseparable

Sometimes good, sometimes it's bad
Can't live without you're love
Misunderstood, don't get so mad
Right now I need you're love

You've got panic in your eyes and it shows, you're looking back too much
And that fear inside you grows and that's dangerous
Well, there's loving to remind us both how it got so serious
No past, no guilt, no vow could hurt the two of us

Want it forever, ain't going to kiss and tell
And stay together under you're magic spell
Don't want a letter, don't want a photograph
Want something better, don't want to give it back

I'll give you all I've got to give
And mean it more than I ever did
I've lost my heart, I've lost control
And now I want to get closer to you
I want to get closer to you

So come inside and just talk to me
About the times, how they ought to be
We got the love, we got the soul
And now I want to get closer to you
I want to get closer

Rock me, rock me, rock me in the cradle of love
Rock me, rock me, rock me in the cradle of love
Rock me in ya cradle, ever loving and faithful
Rock me in ya cradle of love

Well, I believe it's better this time
And we could look but we'd never find
Another love that we can hold
I want to get closer to you
I said I want to get closer

Step by step, making my way to you
Step by step, I'm coming through

You hide your love like secrets
Oh, so deep inside, don't let them go
'Cause when the rain kissed your lips
Not just once but time and time again
So now you pray but no one listens
Don't you hesitate, oh no, don't you be a runaway
So you just pray for something different
The love we take and all the vows we break

No one can show you the way
When love is hard to find
And no one can hear what you say
It's all in your own mind
Now everything's too much
There's nothing you can trust
Ain't no one can show you the way
The time, the place, the day

It's cold, the midnight wind blows
So you light a fire and burn the dead
While you play your music real low
You get lost in dreams, you fear to tread
And now you pray there ain't no witness
Maybe it's your fate, who knows, maybe you won't get away
So you just pray this dirty business
Of love and hate won't be so hard to face

Where's the luck
'Cause we don't get half enough
We never get anywhere
But I don't really care

Leave the rest
Just give me loving and tenderness
Then everything feels all right
No trouble round here tonight

When the good times come, going to live the life
When the good times come, we're going to shine

Standing up
For what we got plenty of
'Cause we don't need anyone
I know where I belong

You've got to have faith in us
It's going to be really tough
Don't break the trust, keep it in mind
That my love is stronger than any love you find

A small town just ain't nowhere
They all laughed and said she won't dare
Everyone said that girl's no good
She couldn't wait to get away from the neighbourhood

She couldn't buy no fancy clothes
But she's got something and heaven knows
Ain't against the law, she knew what to do
When they all talked and disagreed with her point of view

Now she's ready to do it again, that's what she's waited for
Turns on the light, turns on a whole lot more

She talks like a lady
She's got the power to drive them crazy
Talks like a lady
Makes them cry like a little baby
Just like a lady
Just like a lady
Just like a lady

Short skirt and sun-tanned legs
The iq of a teacher's pet
That's a fact, she ain't passing through
Now she's going to get them back like she wanted to

Dressed up in her sunday's best
She's got class and I must confess
Every man's got eyes they can't put back
Started panic in their wives like a heart attack

Well, she's ready to blow up a storm, just like she did before
Men going to fight, women are going to get sore

It's just an ordinary day
But life won't last forever
If you've got anything to say
Just try to make it clever
'Cause you ain't going to change the world
You could make it better
It's just an ordinary day
Some say it's okay

You're in a desperate state of mind
You found out love's a killer
It shouldn't treat you so unkind
You're talking no beginner
But after all is said and done
You never will forgive her
You're in a desperate state of mind

Hold on, not so fast
I'm the woman you walked past

Didn't I tell ya about it, we should be together
Coming on to ya, I'm coming on to ya, baby
How did you feel about it when you read the letter?
Wondered who's this from, someone who'll love ya better

It's just an ordinary day
Life can last forever
If you've got anything to say
Just laugh and make it clever
'Cause you ain't going to change the world
But you could make it better
It's not an ordinary day
I'll say I'll pray

Walking in the rain, she made you cry again
Walking in the rain, going to love ya better
Walking in the rain, going to love ya better

You've been watching the tv for hours
About time you turned the sucker on
Ain't no sun, no moon, ain't no showers
Looks like you think you're having fun
Show time running around in your head
No time, didn't get to bed
You're going to use that number
You're going to make the call

Your man shows, he's knocking at the stage door
All smiles, gold teeth and talking cash
You're so high, it's going to be a long fall
They're all just waiting for the crash
Show time, looking like a sure bet
You find this is all you get
You're going to lose connection
Ain't going to be nowhere

There goes another crazy day
Keep your alibis and forever
Dream your life away
Jump back into your chevrolet
Never mind the change in the weather
It's a happy hour all day

You keep walking in and out the bathroom
White faces looking back (looking back at you)
Your eyes down, nose sucking like a vacuum
Games up, another bad review
Show time, wouldn't read what they said
This time, talking about the dead
You're on a fast burn under
You're going to lose it all

You've come down now all the tears and all the lies
Maybe they're coming back to you
They're coming back across a thousand miles
You've come around like all those times you never tried
No one's in love with you
Ain't in love, you pay to take the ride

I've been standing 'cross the street 'most every night
Trying to keep my eye on you
I've been waiting but it seems you never come
I never get to you

I need a chance 'cause there's a lot that I could say
And there's things that I'd like to do
Most of all I want to take you away
I've gotta get to you some way

Can't you see the lightning strike
Run like wild horses
May never be another night like this
Well, you can't stand up and fight
Against those strange forces
It's just a thing you can't afford to miss

There's people telling me I'm crazy, they don't know
Shouldn't trust a word you say
Your excuse is they're just lies, you're having fun
Why don't I stay away?

Maybe they're right but I don't feel it in my heart
You took it out of my control
I've fallen in but I don't know where I should start
I'm in a minefield, cold and dark

There goes another crazy day
Keep your alibis and forever
Dream your life away
Jump back into your chevrolet
Never mind the change in the weather
It's a happy hour all day

When it cuts you like a knife
So deep it's hurting
But gets you going like a deadly kiss
Could be anything you want
While the world's turning
You never know it till the bullet hits

You're the wings of an angel, you're the ghost in my room
You're the food on my table, a warm afternoon
Well, I don't need no one's lessons about the things I might lose
I don't need no protectionm it ain't me that's confused

So break it up
You can never say never
Enough's enough
Well I should've known better

No one can take the blame
Well, I don't have the right to be with you
You don't have to live in shame
'Cause I've got the power to see it through
So I'm down the line and I'm holding on
Ain't giving up, going to carry on
No one can take the blame
Well, I don't have the right to be with you

You're the past, you're the future, a spirit released
You're the echo of footsteps on a cold, lonely street
And I know I can feel you, you're with me tonight
Could be walking beside me, though you're far out of sight

These are the days we think we're so clever
And sing our own praise, don't get it together
These are the days of secrets and lies (no compromise)
Got nothing to say, angels in heaven better save me

Now we gotta step back, something's wrong, don't wanna preach
Kickbacks, half the world don't get to eat
Ain't no tracks, but there's trouble, I believe
Can't break free, nothing's perfect, I concede

These are the days we race down the highway
Computer ablaze, technical skyway
These are the days we don't hear the cries (only goodbyes)
Well, I'm lost in the maze, angels in heaven better save me

Now we'd better step back, information incomplete
Contact, are we getting in too deep?
And backchat, propaganda, we don't need
They don't see, and they're going to make you bleed
