Kenny Rogers Album

You can run you can hide never let it inside
Keep livin your life in the dark
But sooner or later that gentle persuader
Is gonna catch up with your heart
Make you a dreamer, believer
Believin in love

Right when a man doin all that he planned
And he thinks he got just what he needs
Life will deliver a shock that will shiver
And drivin him down to his knees
Make him start givin, livin, Livin again

Well it's your mind, that tricks you in believin every time
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Well it's your heart, that talks you into to stayin where you are
Love will turn you around, turn you around

Out of the blue she reaches for you
And you tell her you dont have the time
So you move away fast but you know it wont last
cause you cant get her off of your mind
Thoughts are burning, turnin, Their turning around

How do you know when to stay or to go
And how do you know when it's real
You dont need a sign to make up your mind
You got your heart at the wheel
You wanna start sharing, carinng, Caring again

Well it's your mind, that tricks you in believing every time
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Well it's your heart, that talks you into to stayin where you are
Love will turn you around, turn you around

Love will turn you around, turn you around
Love will turn you around, turn you around

Why do people cry when
They hear the word goodbye
In a love song

Tears are sure to fall
When you know they gave it all
In a love song

Somehow two lovers get a
Chance at a beautiful romance
And you wish it could be you

'Cause everybody's needing
What the singers all are
Singing in a love song

It can tear you apart
'Cause a word can break
A heart in a love song

They say all the things you feel
And they make it sound
So real in a love song

It seems that everything they say
Is said in such a way
That we believe it's true

'Cause everybody's needing
What the singers all are
Singing in a love song

Each of us know there's no
Guarantee we'll ever find love
And in the songs that we share
The heartache is there to remind us

New love brings a thrill
And we know it always will
In a love song

Happiness can leave
But it helps if we believe
In a love song

There's a part of you and me
In every memory
That tells us who we are

'Cause everybody's needing
What the singers all are
Singing in a love song

'Cause everybody's needing
What the singers all are
Singing in a love song

You came here on purpose, in front of me, Diana
To be seen with some other man
You're wanting me to watch him, enjoy the freedom
You're letting him take with his hands.

Did you tell or must I tell him, Diana
Does it matter to that kind of man?
Any place he touches or kisses, Diana
Is some place I've already been.

You know you're fighting fire with fire
Over something that broke us apart
At least I was hiding and trying, Diana
To keep it from breaking your heart.

You must've been crazy, for taking advantage
Of the fact that you weren't around
But she was so soft and pretty
And she made a promise, never to utter a sound.

Can you tell or must I tell you, Diana
It's a heart burning hell that I'm in
And any place he touches or kisses, Diana
I'd gladly crawl back there again.

You know you're fighting fire with fire
Over something that broke us apart
At least I was hiding and trying, Diana
To keep it from breaking your heart...

Seems to me that we've been friends forever
We spend our time together as all good friends will do
But the silence only lies
If you could read my eyes
They hold another feeling
I could show you
Maybe you should know
Just how much I love you
In my heart there's no one else above you
Maybe I should hope
You find out for yourself somehow
Or maybe I should tell you now
Maybe I should wait and take the chances
A good dancer never dances


Until he hears the cue
But the orchestra is gone
They've left us all alone
There's no one here to tell me how to tell you
Maybe you should know
Just how much I love you
In my heart there's no one else above you
Maybe I should hope
You find out for yourself somehow
Or maybe I should tell you
Maybe I should tell you
Maybe I should tell you now

Somewhere between lovers and friends.

Somewhere between lovers and friends
Well, baby, tonight if we take it any closer
We might sleep right off the edge
We gotta stay here
Somewhere between lovers and friends.

We gotta hold back ( our love will be stronger )
Hold back ( stay a little longer )
Somewhere between lovers and friends.

Moonlight dancing in our eyes tonight
About to lose our self control
I think we'll both know when the time is right
So right now let's both admit it
We got trouble if we forget it, we're ….
Somewhere between lovers and friends.

We gotta hold back ( we're heading for the fast lane )
Hold back ( we got trouble if we don't stay )
Somewhere between lovers and friends.
I think we'll both ….

We gotta hold back ( it's gonna make our love stronger )
Hold back ( we gotta stay a little longer )
Somewhere between lovers and friends .

We gotta hold back ( we're kind a-heading for the fast lane )
Hold back ( we got trouble if we don't stay )
Somewhere between lovers and friends.

Take this heart of mine put it in a saved place
Take this tears I've cried put 'em on another face
They don't have the meanin' that they did before
I don't think I need them anymore.

Take this empty arms they have no one to hold
All those dreams I hold inside they are in the cold
They don't have the meanin' that they did before
I don't think I need them anymore.

It's not the way it always used to be
'Cause you don't see a future love for you and me
I go on hopin' somewhere in your heart
You might find a place for me someday...

If you can lie a little bit.

If you can lie a little bit
You can lie a little bit more
Once you get away with it
It comes a little easier than it did before.

No hard feelings, no harm done
It's just time that I move on
Though we've only just begun
To see the signs of things to come
It's just a little lie to get in your way.

If you can lie …

Wish you didn't look so good
Guess you never understood
Love is built on faith and trust
There's no future here for us
I have made a few mistakes in my time.
If you can lie …

I wanna believe you
When you say you'll change for me
Shame on me!
Ooh, if you can lie …

I'll take care of you

Times are hard and rents are high
What can the working girl do?
But struggle through another day
Then I'll take care of you.

Nights are long and dreams are cold
If they're all you wake up to
But sure you rise with crying eyes
I'll take care of you.

So let ‘em talk about us
Let ‘em call us funny things
People sometimes do
I don't care as long
As you know I love you
You know I do.

I'll be there but you might not see me
It's not easy to get through
But when the laughter dies, I'll wake
I'll take care of you
Darling, I'll take care of you.

Well, I wonder, wonder, wonder just why it is
That I sit around here and I cry
Is it just because I'm too weak to take the loss?
I walk away knowing that I really care down deep inside.

Or is it just the fool in me (is it just the fool in me)
Keeps me hanging on
When I should have been gone?
Is it just the fool in me (is it just the fool in me)
That won't let me live without you?
Oh honey, I think it's just the fool in me, darling
I think it's just the fool in me,
Keeps me hanging on
I can't seem to help myself. (at all).

And I have promised, I have promised
I made promises to myself
I would stay no longer
But every time I say 'I've had enough'
I start to step but my shoes get stuck
And all I seem to do is stand and say
'I want you, girl',
Maybe it's the fool in me (maybe it's the fool in me)
Keeps me hanging on
I can't seem to help myself. (at all)...

And I love, I love you, I love you, I love you
Ah, look how close I came!,
Ah, tell myself just don't do it again
Ah, just when I feel I'm on my way
All I ever seem to do is stay.

I want a son.

I want a son
Someone I can blame for turning grey
To share my name, to share my days
To share the things I've earned
The lessons that I've learned along the way
He'd have a friend and we'd have fun
I love to laugh and I would love to have a son.

I want a girl
Twirling round the room in pink and blue
To count on me, to see her through
Who'd worry when I'm late
And tell me that I'm great when it's not true
She'd have a friend and we'd have fun
I'd love a daughter just as I would love a son.

I wanna care
I wanna wonder where they are
I wanna see that they go farther than me
And carry on, the things I love, when I'm gone.

Forgetting me
I'd be good for them, I really would
They'd have someone who understood
Who'd always be around
And never let them down, I never could.

He'd have a friend and we'd have fun
She'd have a friend, we'd all be one
I'd love to have a girl
Or I would love to have a son.
