Michael Bolton Album

Our love, can last forever
True hearts, can beat as one
Lost souls, I've seen their faces
Girl after the fire is gone

Torn hearts, dreams are broken
Love shattered before their eyes
Did they run when runnin' was easy
Or do they know where the secret lies

We've got so much more to say
And far too much to lose
Girl if we try to find a way
Before this night is through

CHORUS:
Save our love, stay a little longer
Save our love, stay a little longer
Save our love

Look deep, and feel the power
Rescue love from a stormy sea
We can reach through the distance between us
Precious time is all we need

And a dream is not enough
When it's not worth fightin' for
For all we've given to our love
Tonight we've gotta give it more

CHORUS:

Save our love, stay a little longer
Save our love, stay a little longer
Save our love, stay and make it stronger
Save our love

CHORUS:(solo)
Save our love, stay a little longer
Save our love, stay a little longer
Save our love, stay and make it stronger

Sweet little girl, she's the high school queen
She lives tonight, in every school boys' dream
Oh, but nobody knows how she's cryin'
She's just a child goin' on seventeen

She gets so confused by her friends and their scenes
They don't mean what they say
They don't say what they mean
She reads the signs, reads between the lines
But it makes no difference
There's no reason or rhyme

Just hold on girl, as long as you can
In time you'll learn what you don't understand
It's the human condition, it's the nature of man

CHORUS:
Everybody's crazy, everybody's crazy
Everybody's crazy, everybody's crazy

This city boy, he don't want no control
He just wanna party and play his rock 'n' roll
But here they come to turn the pressure on
Say'n son, your partyin' days are gone

The time has come now to be a man
Find your place in the world, gotta take what you can
You've got no ambition, take a look at yourself
When ya gonna straighten out, be like everybody else

The boy said listen dad, you're bringin' me down
I am who I am, I've had a good look around
There's one thing in the world I can tell you I've found

CHORUS:

There ain't no wonder things are so outta hand
Sooner or later, ya come to understand
The human condition, it's the nature of man

I can't get you back, but I can't turn away from you
Our love is a fact
Though I've tried to deny it, like you wanted me to
I brake on the streets
The people they stop and stare
Was it only a dream, you said you must leave
So why do you follow me everywhere

I run for my life, can't break away from your spell
Ya know it cuts deep inside, oh it's like heaven and hell

CHORUS:
Can't turn it off, can't turn it off, I said
I can't turn it off, why do you follow me
Can't turn it off, ya turned it on and now I
Can't turn it off

If I'm goin' down, I'm sure to go down in flames
I wait for your sound
I look for you now and I can't hold you to blame

I know you feel guilty, for things we've said and done
To you I'm a moment of fire in your life
But it's different for me, you're the only one

I run for my life, can't break away from your spell
Ya know it cuts deep inside, oh it's like heaven and hell

CHORUS:

The sound of your voice is all I can hear
I still see your face, it's all I can bear
Knowing wherever I run, you'll always be there

You and I sailed away to a place
We once called paradise
We were young and deep in our love
And we never needed lies

So here we stand face to face
Knowing we've drifted apart
As for myself, there'll be nobody else
Who'll ever touch this place in my heart

CHORUS:
You just call my name
And I'll come runnin' for you in the night
Just call my name
And I'll come runnin' right back into your life
If you ever need my love, call my name

Will ya call the love we shared
Just a moment passing in time
It was a moment I can never forget
And a love that was so hard to find

There are no chains to hold you down
I told you a long time ago
If the time has come for movin' on
There's one thing I need you to know

CHORUS:

If you feel you need my love
And it's time we start over again

Don't wanna lose this feelin'
It's more than I need to survive
Just when I stopped believin'
That's when you came into my life

Ya turned it around, within you I found
Everything that's real to me
I'm lost inside your love
And that's just where I wanna be

CHORUS:
Everytime you give your love, it's a fire, it's a miracle
Everytime I feel your love in my life, I know it's a miracle
You've got the power, you know it
To touch my every fantasy
When we make love, you show it
In everything you give me

So take what you want, take what you will
You're the one who holds the key
To open up the door, to reach the deepest part of me

CHORUS:

Everytime you give your love, it's a fire
Everytime I feel your love in my life, I know it's a miracle
Everytime, everytime

Just when I stopped believin', girl, you stepped into my life
Ya give me the fire I needed
It was so hard to find, you're givin' it everytime

One night, one empty room
One man getting over you
One star, one lonely moon
I make a wish I know will never come true

You'll call my name
And you'll beg me to hold you again
But the truth remains
And I'm only a fool who can't help but pretend

CHORUS:
It's all over but I'm holding on
I can't let go till the love is gone
It's all over but I keep holding on
With a desperate heart
My desperate heart

Some nights I try in my mind
To see myself loving someone new
Still I know I'm wasting my time
No one can ever take the place of you

So I close my eyes
I swear I feel you here by my side
Bet it's all, it's only a lie
That I need to believe for my heart to survive

CHORUS:

All this time I've been drowning in hopeless illusion
I've been keeping inside
That someday you'll walk out of the shadows
And back into my life

CHORUS:

Everynight, I would lie awake
Alone in my bed
Think of you, then I'd cry myself
To sleep, that's what you said
You were so sure of yourself
By now I'd be out of my mind
So where is the madness
The pain and the sadness
You swore you'd be leavin' behind

CHORUS:
Start breaking my heart
Start bringin' me down
Start breaking my heart
Like you said you'd do to me
Start breaking my heart
Tearin' me apart, breaking my heart
Start breaking my heart

Lookin' back, you were good at diggin'
Into my soul
All the time, oh I should've understood
You just needed control
Finally you realized, how much you were
Foolin' yourself
Ya thought you'd desert me
Thought you could hurt me
By leavin' me for somebody else

CHORUS:

You're breaking your promise to me
You swore I'd be fallin' apart

CHORUS:

You've been gone girl, I don't even
Know how long
Come on and prove me wrong
You can start by breaking my heart

Here ya come with that song on your face
Telling me with tears in your eyes
How ya made a big mistake
Now ya say ya realize
Was I just suppose to fade away
Into the lonely night

Just waitin' for the day
You would say you've learned your lesson well
Livin' without my love was hell
And I would believe every word that you say
But I know when I just look in your eyes

CHORUS:
You don't want me bad enough
You don't want me bad enough right now
I don't think you've had enough
Baby you don't want me bad enough right now

Maybe you could take some time
Think about the plans we once made
Before ya put your dreams on the line
Think about the price to be paid
Was I suppose to open up the door

And carry on just like it was before
I hope you understand it's not the end
But I'm not goin' through this scene again
And I do believe every word that you say
But I know when I just look in your eyes

CHORUS:

Love you'll learn, is a double-edged blade
Now the tables are turned
And it cuts both ways
If you're ready for love
Then I want you to stay
But this time, yeh
This time, I've gotta be sure, yeh

CHORUS:

You don't want me bad enough

It's in your eyes
Here we go again
Tonight you're gonna come on strong
Such a cryin' shame, the time we spend
Over who's been right
And who's been wrong
There'll be no pretending this time
Your eyes are like fire
You'll swear it's the end of the line
But you and I, we both know you're liar

CHORUS:
Don't tell me that it's over
Don't tell me that we're through
Don't tell me that it's over
Don't try 'n tell me that it's over
It isn't true
Don't tell me that it's over
'Cause you can't say good-bye, any more
Than I, can walk away from you

Ya say it's hard to love a man like me
But baby now and then
Ya do your fair share so easily
You can push me to my limit
And back again

Just when I can't take anymore
And I've made up my mind
I say I'm ready to walk out the door
But somethin' keeps me from leavin' you behind

CHORUS:

There's a reason why
After we've tried
We're not runnin' to the arms of another

When all comes down
We both know by now
We just still mean too much to each other

Don't tell me, don't tell me
