John Waite Album

(J. Waite, I. Kral, M. Sidgwick)

I spend my time
Thinkin' 'bout you constantly
It's true that I want you
You're the meaning of success to me
Cause anything you want
You can get from me
Don't try to work it out
Just let it be
Emotion has no price
And love is free
I've been going round in circles
You're always on my mind
I need you so bad
It's driving me out of my mind
Reflected in your eyes
Can't you see
You and I against the world
Young lions roam free
You're always taking me somewhere
That I've never seen
No matter where you go
I'm with you
Every step of the way
No matter what you need
I've got more every single day
My heart is full for you
And I'm longing to find you
Every step of the way
I'm with you
Every step of the way
I'm right beside you
Cause anything you want
You can get from me
Don't try to work it out
Just let it be
Emotion has no price
And love is free
It's free and no matter where you go
I'm with you
Every step of the way
No matter what you need
I've got more every single day
My heart is full for you
In your shadow you'll find me
Every step of the way
I'm with you
Every step of the way
I'm right beside you
No matter what you do
No matter what you say
I'm right beside you
Every single day
No matter what you do
Or who you do it to
No matter where you've been
No matter what you say
Or who you say it to
No matter what you do
I will stay close to you
Every step of the way
Every single day

(J. Waite)

Oh yeah
It ain't the way that you look at me
No nor the way you talk
Could be a dark side coming out of me
But I just like that way that you walk
And I know what you've got is a thing for me
And I want that thing awful bad
Don't mess around
This is too intense
I'm getting hot on the spot
Tell me just to laydown
And stay down
For my love
Laydown
And stay down
For my love
Yeah
Laydown
Could be the way that you're smiling
But I don't think so
Could be the jukebox
But I don't think so
Could be the way the stars are out tonight
We're living in some afterglow
Come on come on
Come on alright
What you've got is what I need tonight
Feelin' good
I feel alright
Come on girl
Don't take all night
Gonna laydown
And stay down
For my love
Laydown and stay down
For my love
This could be the rainbow bridge
Crossing over to Shangri-La
The midnight sky above our heads
You can be who you are
Tell me to laydown
Stay down
For my love
Laydown
And stay down
For my love
Laydown
Come on why don't you
Laydown
Come on come on come on
Laydown
Come on why don't you just
Laydown tonight
Laydown
Come on
Laydown
Yeah

(J. Waite)

Sour milk in the saucer
And the cat won't come home
And sometimes New York City
Feels like burnin' Rome
I'm lost and I'm crazy
Too much time on my own
I'd give anything to find a heart
That can't be sold
Welcome to paradise
Here is my brave new world
And in my paradise
I'm waiting for a certain girl
Dead flowers in the darkness
Red rose wrapped in lace
Ice-cold vodka tears
Stainin' my face
My heart's growin' colder
And the things I have seen
Won't someone come and get me
Wake me from this dream
Welcome to paradise
Here is my brave new world
And in my paradise
I'm waiting for a special girl
Here in my paradise
I'm waitin' for something new
And here in my brave new world
I'm waitin' for something new
I can hear church bells ringing
White rice hits blue skies
And the blind still lead the blind
As they look for paradise
Oh yeah
Paradise
Welcome to paradise
Here is my brave new world
And here in my paradise
I'm waiting for a special girl
I'm still looking for paradise
In your eyes you seem so far away
And to find paradise
There's no price that I won't pay
(We all find paradise)
I'm still looking for paradise tonight
(We all find paradise)
And I won't find paradise
I'll make it all right
(We all find paradise)
With you and I
Comes into sight
(We all find paradise)
For you and I
For you and I
Paradise could be right
(We all find paradise)
I'm still looking for paradise tonight
(We all find paradise)
And I won't find paradise
I'll make it all right

(J. Waite, McCurry)

From your mothers' breast to the Vatican steps
It ain't such a long way down no
Absolution comes with the confession
But the priest still hangs around
And I don't want to lose myself
In some uniform
No I'm not gonna be reformed
Me oh my oh
Fire and ice
Jet black colours
I've got a lust for life
Over the mountains and across the sea
I'm still roaming free
From the centre stage
To an early grave
I'm both hell and heaven bound
And I'm looking at the sky
To see who's looking down
Are my words only empty sounds
Me oh my oh
Fire and ice
Jet black colours
I've got a lust for life
Just like diamond strife
The lust
And I don't want to lose myself
In some uniform
No I'm not gonna be reformed
No
Me oh my oh
Fire and ice
Jet black colours
I've got a lust for life
Like fire and ice
Like diamond strife
I'm gonna roll the dice
I've got a lust for life
Like fire and ice
I've got a lust for life
Like fire and ice
I'm gonna roll the dice
I've got a lust for life

(Robinson, Moore, Tarplin, Rogers)

Honey you do me wrong
But I'm still crazy about you
Stay away too long
When you know I can't do without you
Every chance you get you seem to
Hurt me more and more and more
But each hurt makes my love
Stronger than before
I know flowers grow from rain
But how can love
Grow from this pain
I want to know
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar baby
Ain't it just like you and me
Aw You tell me lies
And you should be honest to me
Me I'm so much in love with you baby
That I don't want to see
That the things you do and say
Are designed to make me blue
It's a crying shame
My love for you
Makes all your lies seem true
If the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger
I want to know right now
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar baby
Ain't it just like you and me
Yeah
Uh Huh
Ah ah yeah
All right
Yeah
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar baby
Ain't it just like you and me
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiarity right now
Yeah
I want to know right now
Why it means that much to you and me
My poor heart's going to break
I'm making a big mistake
Making my poor heart break
Making me give her a double take
Making my poor heart break
Making me give her a double take
I could change your world
I could
You could and I could
I will
Change your world
(You can I can change our world)
(You can I can change our world)
(You can I can change our world)
(You can I can change our world)
(You can I can change our world)

(J. Waite, Mandel)

You keep catching my eye
And we keep looking at each other
Is this what it feels like
To be someone's lover
There was never a time
And the clock didn't matter 'til now
And we could say that it's going well
It feels like Hell
Cause we walk and we talk
And we're just like the others
We touch and we move
Buried treasure discovered
And we've got no excuses at all
Cause we're just like lovers
This feels like I'm drowning
In some desert of misery
My heart lights up when I look at you
You're the only thing I can see
And we could say that it's going well
And when I'm away it feels like Hell
Cause we walk and we talk
And we're just like the others
We kiss hug and move
All our secrets get uncovered
And we've got no excuses at all
Cause we're just like
Some of the people never get to know
What we're going through
And if we're just good friends
I want to know
Why it feels like it's so much more
Are we just like lovers
I wanta know
I wanta know
Oh
We're just like lovers
We're just like lovers
We're just like lovers
We're just like lovers
Windows break
My life shatters
Nothing seems to matter
We are just like lovers
We got more than we've ever
Dreamt we could discover
Cause we're just like one another
We are just like lovers
We are
(Some other place some other time)
(Some other place some other time)
(Some other place some other time)
Cause we're just like one another
(Some other place some other time)
(Some other place some other time)
(Some other place some other time)

(J. Waite)

I will be there for you
For you are mine
And I'll take care of you
Every single time
I'll be watching over you
When the world seems bitter cold
When you're closer to the edge
And you're feeling so alone
But do you still recognize
When you hear love's voice
I will come through for you
Every single time
And I will be there in your winter
To turn your water into wine
And I'll be there in your darkness
In the daylight like your sun
You see you make my heart beat fast
My love
You are my special one
But do you still recognize
When you hear love's voice
But are you so surprised
That you and I
We've both got a choice
Do you hear my name
On a crowded street
Ain't it such a shame
All our hearts are incomplete
Oh oh oh
Together together
Ah ah ah
I'll be there in your darkness
In the daylight like your sun
See you make my heart beat fast my love
You are my special one
Do you still recognize
When you hear love's voice
Are you surprised
You and I we've both got a choice
Can you feel my heart beat
Like I feel your heart beat
Lovers of the world
Never complete
Can you hear
Can you hear my voice
In this dark and lonely place
You and I will always have a choice
Can't you hear my voice
Can't you see this look on my face
You and I we've still got a choice
Can't you hear my voice
Can't you see this look in my eyes
We've both got a choice
Can you hear my voice
Don't you see if you believe in me

(J. Waite, Kentis)

You could be anywhere
But if you think of me
Know that you're on my mind
Got my soul in you hands
No matter what you do
I know it must be right
I'm a man of the world
And I've seen everything
And this time I see one I like
You're the one
That's keeping me wide awake at night
You are
You're the one
And you could be my lucky break
You just might
If you need me at all
Pick up your telephone
I'll be there overnight
Like a puzzle complete
We become as one
How could this not be right
I'm a man of the world
And I've seen everything
And this time I see one I like
Yeah
You're the one
That's keeping me wide awake at night
You are
You're the one
And you could be my lucky break
You just might
And I want the whole world to know
You're the one
You are
You're the one
You are
I'm a man of the world
And I've seen everything
And this time I see one I like
You're the one
That's keeping me wide awake at night
You are
You're the one
And you could be my lucky break
You just might
You're the one
That's keeping me wide awake at night
You are
You're the one
And you could be my lucky break
You just might
Yeah
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one

(J. Waite)

I can't take you to the movies
And I can't tell the real thing
From a fake
But I'm curled up tight
In your Chevrolet
And baby you got wow
You've got what it takes
You've got no brakes
I can't take you anywhere these days
Baby you're going wild
Your lips and nylons
Baby you've got what I think
I think it takes
You've got no taste
You've got what it takes
A gal with no brakes at all
Whispering in my ear
When you're breathing baby
Hold me near
Closer closer still
Aaah wooo
Yeah
Baby you look so good tonight
Take that dress right off
Stand there right in front of me
Baby you're going to make
My poor rocking heart break
Got no brakes
You've got what it takes tonight
For a gal with no brakes
Going to make something straight tonight
Gonna gonna make it all right
The morning sun
Coming up
We ain't got no brakes
We ain't got no brakes
Ow ow
We ain't got no brakes
We ain't got none
We ain't got no brakes
