The Doobie Brothers Album

Michael McDonald / Jeffrey Baxter / Keith Knudsen

Who are you
Where you been
How'd you come into my life
I just know once you get started

Girl, I been throwin' my heart in
You're just like walkin' in a danger zone
A chance I just had to take
You're like a drink I needed so bad and found

If no one pulled my head back in time, I would drown
Oh, I get lost in your eyes
I crossed the line for you so long ago
Now I find truth in your lies

You got me cornered with my back to the wall
Takes all I've got just to hold on
Through all the disappointment
Love still remains

Darling, you're made that way
Girl, you're made that way
"You were just a lonely man
Living through your empty plans"

I know you're made that way
I know you're made that way

Say it please
Say you will
Come back and be in my life
Girl, if you just put your heart in it

No one could stop us once we get started
Well, I get tired of living for your applause
And putting my happiness in your hands
Well, I don't know what you're expecting of me
What you want for me to be, I will be

I know you're made that way
I know you're made that way

I hear your voice everywhere
It's echoes of love
Making me look back over my shoulder
Echoes of love are started all over

Echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
I'm out of control
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love are out of control
Bringing back love I used to hold

Darlin', since you went away
Think about you every day
So many memories
About to get the best of me

Recalling the times
I used to hold you
I just wouldn't do
What I was supposed to
I've done things
I'd like to undo
Now darlin' it's you
I'd like to run to

Echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
I'm out of control
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love are out of control
Bringing back love I used to hold

Echoes of love
Echoes of love
Love, echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
Echoes of love, echoes of love
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love

It's so hard lovin' you
But I just can't let you go

Little darlin', I love you
Little darlin', I need you
Little darlin', I want you
Little darlin', got to have you

And if it means givin' up my pride
Oh, I'm gonna give it up, give it up
There's always one who loves more than the other
I don't mind, I don't mind
I'm willin' to pay the price
Have your love at any sacrifice

Little darlin', I need you
Little darlin', I love you
Little darlin', I want you
Little darlin', got to have you

Only my pillow knows
How many tears I've cried
Only my heart knows
The awful hurt I feel inside
My life is so lonely
Waitin' for you to love me only
I'm willin', darlin'

I'm willin' to pay the price
Have your love at any sacrifice

Little darlin', I need you
Little darlin', I want you
Little darlin', I love you
Little darlin', I need you
Little darlin', I want you
Little darlin', got to have you

Yeah, there was a time
Way back in your life
When I was the only one, only one
You'd better let this fool back in
Or you will be the lonely one
Darlin', I love you
Little darlin' I need you

Why'd you tell me this
While you look for my reaction
What do you need to know
Don't you know I'll always be the one
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes of my own

You belong to me
In this life
Anyone could tell
Any fool can see who you need
I know you all too well
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes and I can tell

You belong to me
Tell him you were foolin'
You belong to me
You belong to me
Tell him he's a stranger
You belong to me

Patrick Simmons

Underneath us all
There's a world that we always forget 'til it moves us
Where the moon on the bay dances all alone
Ramone, he draw the razor swift, it slice the air
No more lovely dreams of those summer nights
Down in Santo Domingo
They laugh and play in the sleepy harbor town
So unaware of the danger that's around

Livin' on the fault line
Livin' on the fault line
Livin' on the fault line
Livin' on the fault line

No one can run when it finally comes down
Nobody knows what is stirrin' underground
Caruso stumbled
While the city tumbled down
The palace was in splinters
Theodore was leaving town

Michael McDonald

So you tell him to say no more
You don't want to know why or where
Where he's been all these lonely nights
You know what's wrong and don't care what's right
As long as he comes back to you
Someone to love him all his life

It ain't nothin' but a heartache
Darling, you'll get over it
It ain't nothing but a heartache
Darling, you'll get over it

There's always there comes a day
When love just goes away
When there's no caring, no words to say
There's no forgiving, no games to play
When all you know will get you through
Seems like you've known it all your life

It ain't nothin' but a heartache
Darling, you'll get over it
It ain't nothin' but a heartache
Darling, you'll get over it

Patrick Simmons

You can see from the top of the hill
Tangled streets and the mystery there
Painted lanterns hang from balconies
People running everywhere

Chinatown, with all your dark mystery
Chinatown, Chinatown
Your spell is capturing me

Lovely ladies with almond eyes
Dressed in silk and laces
Twilight falls and the shadows move
Silently in secret places

Chinatown, with all your dark mystery
Chinatown, Chinatown
Your spell is capturing me

You've got me under your spell
You've got me under your spell
You've got me under your spell
You've got me under your spell
Ah, ah
Ah, ah

Michael McDonald

There's a light that shines on all people
Sees them through
It waits and watches them move
Through their lives like people do

There's only so much we can be sure of
We can see
The rest belongs to time
And things that are meant to be
When the clouds surround you
And you know you've found your rainy day
Oh, the blues are bound to make you feel
Just like they're here to stay

All through your life
Anything that's meant to be will be
When tomorrow comes
Once again, you'll see

That there's a light that shines on all people
Sees them through
It waits and watches them move
Through their lives like people do

When the clouds surround you
And you know you've found your rainy day
Oh, the blues are bound to make you feel
Jut like they're here to stay

Oh, you should know
There ain't much a broken heart can see
When tomorrow hides
The dream beyond this dream

Oh, there's a light that shines on all people
Sees them through
It waits and watches them move
Through their lives like people do

Tiran Porter

Well, I've had some thought in a loving direction
I want to be the part of someone' affection
Been alone too long, my head hangin' low
There's no one to see and no place to go

Need a lady
Drive me crazy
Come with me and surely we'll be free

I walk the streets in the dead of night
Wishing for some lovin' arms to hold me tight
But it's always down to my old guitar
That's all that keeps me from the bars

I need a, need a lady
Need a lady
Like the lady from Tennessee

Spin it.
