John Waite Album

(J. Waite, D. Child)

Babe I had a dream
Woke up in a sweat
Darkness all around me
I was caught in its net
Tried to reach for you
But you weren't there
It only was a dream
But it put danger in the air
I can feel the nervous rhythm
of your heart with mine
Could we ever stay together
Stand the test of time
Baby make me a believer
Cause this world will lie
(Oh these times are hard for lovers)
It's getting harder for you and me
(Oh)
It's hard on me and you
Baby we can make it
Cause our love will pull us through
These times are hard for lovers
It's down to me in you
Nothing's gonna break us
If we hang on to what's true
These times are hard for lovers
I believe in you
These times are hard for lovers
I believe in you
Everywhere you turn
Trouble going on
Living under pressure
Loving under the gun
It's hard enough to live
Draw another breath
Hang on to me baby
Like it's life or death
I can feel the nervous rhythm of your heart with mine
Could we ever stay together
Stand the test of time
Baby make me a believer
Cause this world will lie
(Oh these times are hard for lovers)
It's getting harder for you and me
(Oh)
It's hard on me and you
Baby we can make it
Cause our love will pull us through
These times are hard for lovers
It's down to me in you
Nothing's gonna break us
If we hang on to what's true
These times are hard for lovers
I believe in you
These times are hard for lovers
I believe in you
Can you feel the nervous rhythm of your heart with mine
Could we ever stay together
Stand the test of time
Baby make me a believer
Cause this world will lie
We've got to go the distance
Touch the sky
Baby we can make it
Cause our love will pull us through
These times are hard for lovers
It's down to me in you
Nothing's gonna break us
If we hang on to what's true
These times are hard for lovers
I believe in you
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
Whoa
(These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
Whoa
(These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
I believe in you
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
When I turn to you
(These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
Yeah
But I don't believe it
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
Yeah
(These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
Whoa
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
Baby I believe in you
(These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
Baby I believe in you
(These times are hard for lovers whoa)
Baby I believe in you

(J. Waite)

Sometimes I wake up
And I watch you sleep
And in the darkness
I wonder if I'm in too deep
Help-what if it's true
I say the wrong things
Cause I'm just a jealous guy
And I hurt you sometimes
I make you cry
Oh I'm so sorry
You and I fit together hand and glove
What we've got is an act of love
That's all
There are good times
And bad times too
You're always there for me
No matter what I do
Don't ever turn away
You're everything I know
You're all I want to see
Feel like a king
When you're standing next to me
And if we disagree don't forget
You and I fit together hand and glove
What we've got is an act of love
Here we go
My love's gigantic as the weather
Our luck can come and go
But as long as we're together
I'm never never gonna wave goodbye
I light a fire
And I lock the doors
I look into your eyes
And I see what I'm looking for
Though sometimes I'm so unsure
You could say I'm out of control
Don't you know what this feels like
What I do-I do everything for you
When I look I look to you
For an act of love
It's all I feel inside
Is just an act of love
The other side of me that hides
Behind an act of love
It's only an act of love
Comin' back on me
Takin' you away
It's only an act of love
Comin' back on me
Comin' back on me
It's only an act of love
Keepin' me wide awake at night
I know it's an act of love

(J. Waite, J. McCurry, J. Reagan)

In these days of wild roses
I held a compass in my hand
I had three wishes for a future
That I won't need to understand
And I've got holly green on blood red
Manhattan Christmas on my arm
My soul ain't worth saving
Feels like I've lost my lucky charm
And I've been living in the gutter
I've been loaded like a gun
I've been sliding down the mountain
And it feels like kingdom come
And I'm always fighting windmills
Have to take it as it comes
See I'm
I'm encircled
I am
If you want me tell me
Cause I can't play this game much longer
Feels a lot like oblivion
This feeling just keeps getting stronger
And I've been living in the gutter
Without American Express
Heroes changing horses midstream
I'm detached
I'm second-guessed
Won't you please come back and get me
My whole world is in a mess
See I'm
I'm encircled
This time I am
I'm encircled
In these days of wild roses
I'm encircled
Yeah
And I've been living in the gutter
I've been loaded like a gun
I've been sliding down the mountain
And it feels like kingdom come
And I'm always fighting windmills
Have to take it as it comes
See I'm encircled
This time I am
I'm encircled
I am

(J. Waite)

Give me one thing I can believe
Give me one thing I can touch
Taste
Want
Take again
And again
And again
Give me something I can't remember
Forget me not
Give me something over and over
Don't forget
Keep me loved
Give me something I can't ignore
No
Keep me preoccupied
Keep me satisfied
With a woman's touch
Yeah
Hold on baby
Hold on tell you when
Dream baby
Dream again
And again
And again
I want you tonight
Hold on
Hold on
Make this thing right
You know you want it
You know I want it too
Give it all
Come on come through
Give me something to believe in
Give me
Give me a woman's touch
Yeah
Yeah
Oh
It's all I want
I want you
And nobody else will do
I need you
Now
Feels like a honeymoon
Want you so
Take my hand
Don't let go
You know you want it
Yeah
Nothing could ever mean as much
No
Keep me preoccupied
Keep me satisfied
With a woman's touch
Yeah
Keep me happy tonight
Keep me wide awake
Give me a woman's touch
Yeah
Yeah
Make me feel alright

(J. Waite)

See you moving through the square
In your motorcycle leather
Diamonds cascade at your feet
In an instant we are forever
See you're a rebel with a cause
No one ever gets close to you
Oh whoa whoa whoa
You're my wild one
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Come on stay my little wild one
Wild one
Yeah
And you've got a crooked smile
That takes that chip right off my shoulder
And though your heart is out of reach
I know that this world will make you colder
So you're escaping down the road
Into an outlaw world that only you know
Oh whoa whoa whoa
You're my wild one
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Come on stay my little wild one
Oh whoa whoa whoa
You can't stay free
You can't stay mine
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Come on stay my little black swan
This town seems small and lonely
And you're the property of no one
Turn again turn around
All roads lead to London town
Wild one
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
You're my wild one
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Come on stay my little wild one
Oh whoa whoa whoa
You can't stay free
You can't stay mine
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Wild one
Wild one
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Yeah
Wild one

(D. Warren)

You tell me to be strong
You tell me to be strong
Goodbye ain't no reason to cry
It ain't no big deal
You say I'll get along
Sure I'll get along
You're so nonchalant
That it's unreal
Well I thought this love would be all I needed
I thought this love was something to believe in
Now you, you say sorry babe
It didn't work out that way
But don't let that ruin your day
Don't lose any sleep now babe
It's just my heart you箁e breaking
Just my world your taking away
Don't lose any sleep now babe
Don't you worry about me
No don't worry babe
I'll be alright
Whoa yeah
Don't act so concerned
No don't be concerned
Don't know how much more
Of your kindness that I can bear
Guess I had to learn
I just had to learn
That after all this
You just don't care
But don't let that worry your mind now
I'll be OK
Baby I'll be fine now
It's just I'm watching my world walking away
Don't lose any sleep now babe
It's just my heart you're breaking
Just my world your taking away
Don't lose any sleep now babe
Don't you worry about me
No don't worry babe
I'll be alright
Whoa whoa
[Don't lose any sleep now babe]
Oh
[Don't lose any sleep now babe]
Whoa no no no no no no
Don't lose any sleep now
It's just my heart you're breaking
Just my world you're taking away
Don't lose any sleep now babe
Don't you worry about me
No don't worry babe
Don't lose any sleep now
Just my heart you're breaking
Just my world you're taking away
Don't lose any sleep now babe
Don't you worry about me
No don't worry baby
It's just my heart you're breaking
[Can't you see it's breaking baby]

(J. Waite & D. Child)

I remember when you whispered low
I will go with you wherever you go
Then I went and found someone new
No one ever made me feel the way that you do
Sometimes you don't know
When to hold on or when to let go
Sometimes you don't know
Sometimes
Then I came home one day
Your best friend told me you'd gone away
Had enough of my wild mispent youth
Now the tears in my eyes are the only truth
Sometimes you don't know
When to hold on or when to let go
Sometimes you don't know
Sometimes you don't know
When to hold on or when to let go
Sometimes you don't know
Hey
Hey Mister D.J.
I don't need no sympathy
I made my choice
And when it all comes down
It all comes down on me
Now if I gotta take this thing
With my back against the wall
Won't you play me some Chuck Jackson
And watch those blue shadows fall
I'm free but I am alone
Sometimes you don't know
When to hold on or when to let go
Sometimes you don't know
Sometimes you don't know
When to hold on or when to let go
Sometimes
Sometimes
You better let go
Oh whoa oh
Yeah
Oh whoa oh
Yeah
Oh whoa oh
Oh whoa oh
Oh whoa oh
Oh whoa oh

(J. Waite, I. Kral)

She's got everything I want
Got my world in a tight black dress
Keeps me on my feet and walking
Keeps my heart alive
I look up at the moon
To see her looking down on me
And it's a magic carpet ride
To a place that fate decides
And everytime we go around the world
We feel like we're millionaires
We get what we want
We know who we are
And these days we just don't care
She's the one
She's the one in my heart
She's the one
And we are never apart
Oh
It's got me on my knees
The sun is burning through our sky
Like quicksilver in my mind
Every time she fills my eyes
My world's a pinball in a groove
And we're shooting for the highest score
My reason is desire
That this key could fit the door
We go around the world
We feel like we're millionaires
We get what we want
We know who we are
And these days we just don't care
She's the one
She's the one in my heart
She's the one
And we are never apart
She's the one
Queen of hearts
For a jack of spades
I'm the one
She could never betray
No
She's all I wanna see
Got my world inside her dress
Cut me to ribbons
Leaves me down
Love's life voids the rest
I'm still looking at the moon
And she's gazing down on me
Take me anywhere you want
It's all the same to me
Everytime we go around the world
We feel like we're millionaires
We know who we are
We get what we want
And these days we just don't care
She's the one
She's the one in my heart
She's the one
And we are never apart
She's the one
Queen of hearts
For a jack of spades
And I'm the one
That she could never betray
She's the one
She's the one
She's the one

(J. Waite, R. Nowels)

These days I feel I'm fightin'
Everything in sight
I'm fighting for my freedom
For my life
Some bigshot with the money
Puts my back against the wall
The red brick's waiting
For another bullet hole
There's a blitzkreig on the border
It's a sexual pleasure/pain
I'm staring down an empty glass
Til the violence starts again
It's the big time for love
It's the big time
It's the right time for love
It's the big time for your love
The queen is in the palace
But my sister's in the rain
Neon girls and gunshots
Tickin' through my brain
They give you some detection
Bread and circus in your bed
A calculated showdown
It's very graphic bloodshed
Better put your house in order
There's a fireball in the sky
Kiss the wife and kids so long
Kiss your ass goodbye
It's the big time for love
It's the big time
It's the right time for love
It's the big time for love
This time it is
It's the big time
It's the right time for love
It's the big time for your love
We feel overdue
Cause we know what it feels like
There's no more
No white flag
And communication too
It's the big time for love
It's the right time
It's the time for love
It's the big time for love
This time it is
It's the big time
It's the right time for love
Call a truce or forget it
