So Far So Good
Compilation - 1 luglio 1993 - Debaser id 31818

I got my first real six string
Bought it at the Five-and-Dime,
Played it 'til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69.

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard,
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
I should've known we'd never get far.

Oh when I look back now,
That summer seemed to last forever,
And if I had the choice,
Yeah - I'd always want to be there,
Those were the best days of my life.

(Hey)
Ain't no use in complainin',
When you got a job to do,
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in,
And that's when I met you, yeah.

Standin' on your mama's porch,
You told me that you'd wait forever,
Oh and when you held my hand,
I knew that it was now or never,
Those were the best days of my life - oh yeah,
Back in the summer of '69 - oh

Man, we were killin' time
We were young and restless,
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no.

And now the times are changin',
Look at everything that's come and gone,
Sometimes when I play that old six string,
I think about you, wonder what went wrong.

Standin' on your mama's porch,
You told me that it'd last forever,
Oh, and when you held my hand,
I knew that it was now or never,
Those were the best days of my life - oh yeah.

I could start dreaming but it never ends,
as long as your gone we may as well pretend.
I've been dreaming,
straight from the heart.

You say its easy but whos to say,
that we'd be able to keep it this way.
But its easier,
commin' straight from the heart.

(CHORUS)
Ohhhh, give it to me straight from the heart,
tell me we can make, another start.
You know i'd never go,
but as long as I know its commin straight from the heart.

I see you on the streets from other time,
and all the words would just fall out of line,while we dreaming.
Straight from the heart.

(CHORUS)
Ohhhh, give it to me straight from the heart,
tell me we can make, one more start.
You know i'd never go,
but as long as I know, its commin straight from the heart.

Ohhhhh,
Go and leave me darling.

Ohhhhh,straight from the heart,
tell me we can make, one more start
You know i never go, as long as i know....GIVE IT TO ME NOW.
Straight from the heart,
tell me we can make one more start.
You know i' never go as long as i know it commin straight from the heart
GIVE IT TO ME...ohhhhh, nooo
Ohhhh, nooo
Straight from the heart,
You know I'd never go as long as I know,
It's commin striaght from the heart.

Rescue me from the mire
Whisper words of desire
Rescue me - darling rescue me
With your arms open wide
Want you here by my side
Come to me - darling rescue me
When this world's closing in
There's no need to pretend
Set me free - darling rescue me

I don't wanna let you go
So I'm standing in your way
I never needed anyone like I'm needing you today

Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to tell the truth?
Do I have to shout it out?
Do I have to say a prayer?
Must I prove to you how good we are together?
Do I have to say the words

Rescue me from despair
Tell me you will be there
Help me please- darlin rescue me

Every dream that we share
Every cross that we bear
Can't you see- darling rescue me

I think about her all the time,
she's my fantasy
Her image 's burnin' in my mind,
callin' out to me
Well my imagination's runnin' wild
Things are getting clear now

This time,
everything is alright
No way,
she's gonna get away
This time,
everything is easy,
Any day,
I'm gonna make her mine

I've tought of every word I'd say,
give or to take a few
But she turns and slowly walks away,
What do I have to do?
Hey turn off your radio,
ohh, there's something I want you to know

This time,
everything is alright
No way,
she's gonna get away
This time,
everything is easy,
Any day,
I'm gonna make her mine

It's hard to take,
cause she's miles away
and I've waited a long time
and the feeling's right
darlin' one of these nights
yeah, I'm gonna let you know

This time,
everything is alright
No way,
she's gonna get away
This time,
everything is easy,
Any day,
I'm gonna make her mine

This time,
everything is alright
No way,
she's gonna get away
This time,
everything is easy,
Any day,
I'm gonna make her mine
yeah I'm gonna make her mine

yeah this time

She says her love for me could never die,
But that'd change if she ever found out about you and I,

Oh - But her love is cold,
Wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know, 'cause...

When it gets too much,
I need to feel your touch.

I'm gonna run to you,
I'm gonna run to you,
'Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night,
I'm gonna run to you.

She's got a heart of gold she'd never let me down,
But you're the one that always turns me on,
You keep me comin' 'round.

I know her love is true,
But it's so damn easy makin' love to you.

I got my mind made up,
I need to feel your touch.

I'm gonna run to you,
Ya - I'm gonna run to you,
'Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna stay all night,
I'm gonna run to you.

Ya - I'm gonna run to you,
Oh when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night,
I'm gonna run to you.

Oh - I'm gonna run to you,
Ya - I'm gonna run to you,
'Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna stay all night,
Oh - I'm gonna run to you,
Ya - when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night,
Oh - when the feelin's right now.

Oh - thinkin' about our younger years,
There was only you and me,
We were young and wild and free.

Now nothin' can take you away from me,
We've been down that road before,
But that's over now,
You keep me comin' back for more.

Baby you're all that I want,
When you're lyin' here in my arms,
I'm findin' it hard to believe,
We're in heaven.

And love is all that I need,
And I found it there in your heart,
It isn't too hard to see,
We're in heaven.

Oh - once in your life you find someone,
Who will turn your world around,
Bring you up when you're feelin' down.

Ya - nothin' could change what you mean to me,
There's lots that I could say,
But just hold me now,
'Cause our love will light the way.

Baby you're all that I want,
When you're lyin' here in my arms,
I'm findin' it hard to believe,
We're in heaven.

Ya - love is all that I need,
And I found it there in your heart,
It isn't too hard to see,
We're in heaven.

I've been waitin' for so long,
For somethin' to arrive,
For love to come along.

Now our dreams are comin' true,
Through the good times and the bad,
Ya - I'll be standin' there by you.

And baby you're all that I want,
When you're lyin' here in my arms,
I'm findin' it hard to believe,
We're in heaven.

And love is all that I need,
And I found it there in your heart,
It isn't too hard to see,
We're in heaven - heaven.

You're all that I want,
You're all that I need.

Drivin' home this evening,
I could've sworn we had it all worked out,
You had this boy believin',
Way beyond the shadow of a doubt.

I heard it on the street,
I heard you might've found somebody new,
Well who is he baby - Who is he,
And tell me what he means to you.

I took it all for granted,
But how was I to know,
That you'd be letting go.

Now it cuts like a knife,
But it feels so right,
It cuts like a knife,
But it feels so right.

There's times I'd been mistaken,
There's times I thought I'd been misunderstood,
So wait a minute darlin',
Can't you see we did the best we could.

This wouldn't be the first time,
Things have gone astray,
Now you've thrown it all away.

And it cuts like a knife,
But it feels so right,
It cuts like a knife,
Yeah but it feels so right.

I took it all for granted,
But how was I to know,
That you'd be letting go.

Now it cuts like a knife,
But it feels so right,
Now it cuts like a knife,
But it feels so right.

Look into my eyes
You will see, what you mean to me
Search your heart , search your soul
And when you find me there, you'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth trying for
You can't tell me it's not worth dying for
You know it's true, everything I do, I do it for you

Look into your heart , you will find
There's nothing there to hide
so, take me as I am, take my life
I would give it all, I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin for
I can't help it, There's nothin I want more
You know it's true, everything I do, I do it for you

Ohhhh

There's no love, like your love
And no other, could give more love
There's nowhere, unless you're there
All the time, all the way

Look into your heart, babe.

Ohh, you can't tell me it's not worth tryin for
I can't help it, there's nothin I want more...
Yea, I'd fight for you, I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you, yeah I'd die for you...

You know it's true
Everything I do
ooooh
I do it for you

I've been lookin' for someone,
Between the fire and the flame,
We're all lookin' for somethin',
To ease the pain.

Now who can you turn to,
When it's all black and white,
And the winners are losers,
You see it every night.

I need somebody,
Somebody like you,
Everybody needs somebody.

I need somebody,
Hey what about you,
Everybody needs somebody.

When you're out on the front line,
And you're watchin' them fall,
It doesn't take long to realize,
It ain't worth fightin' for.

I thought I saw the Madonna,
When you walked in the room,
Well your eyes were like diamonds,
And they cut right through - oh they cut right through.

I need somebody,
Somebody like you,
Everybody needs somebody - oh yeah.

I need somebody,
Hey what about you,
We all need somebody.

Yeah - Another night another lesson learned,
It's the distance keeps us sane,
But when the silence leads to sorrow,
We do it all again - all again.

Hey - I need somebody,
Somebody like you,
Everybody needs somebody - oh yeah.

I need somebody
Oh what about you
Everybody needs somebody

Hey - I need somebody,
Somebody like you,
Everybody needs somebody - I need somebody.

Hey - I need somebody,
Somebody like you,
Everybody needs somebody.

Turned on the radio,
Sounded like a disco,
Must've turned the dial for a couple of miles,
But I couldn't find no rock 'n roll.

This computerized crap ain't gettin' me off,
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.

London to L.A.,
Talkin' 'bout the new wave,
For a couple of bucks you get a weird haircut,
And waste your life away.

Around the world or around the block,
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.

Get me my D.J.,
I got somethin' he's gotta play,
Wanna hear it I can't wait,
So turn it up, turn it up...

Kick down the barricades,
Listen what the kids say,
From time to time people change their minds,
But the music is here to stay.

I've seen it all from the bottom to the top,
Everywhere I go kids wanna rock.

Around the world or around the block,
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.

Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.

I was caught in the crossfire of a silent scream
Where one man's nightmare is another man's dream
Pull the covers up high and pray for the mornin' light
Better leave it alone in the heat of the night
Met a man with a message from the other side
Couldn't take the pressure - had to leave it behind
He said it's up to you
You can run or you can fight - (ya that's right)
Better leave it alone in the heat of the night

In the heat of the night they'll be comin' around
They'll be lookin' for answers they'll be chasin' you down
In the heat of the night
(Where you gonna hide when it all comes down)
(Don't look back don't ever turn around)

Had to pay the piper to call the tune
Said he'd be back someday - said he'd be back real soon
Pull the shades down low - you'll know when the time is right
When you're lyin' alone in the heat of the night

Still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss and it's gettin' better baby
No one can better this
Still holdin' on, you're still the one
First time our eyes met - the same feeling I get
Only feels much stronger - I wanna love you longer
You still turn the fire on
So if you're feelin' lonely don't
You're the only one I ever want
I only wanna make it good
So if I love ya a little more than I should

Please forgive me - I know not what I do
Please forgive me - I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me - this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me - if I need ya like I do
Please believe me - every word I say is true
Please forgive me - I can't stop loving you

Still feels like our best times are together
Feels like the first touch
We're still gettin' closer baby
Can't get close enough
I'm still holdin' on - you're still number one
I remember the smell of your skin
I remember everything
I remember all your moves - I remember you yeah
I remember the night - you know I still do
So if you're feelin' lonely don't
You're the only one I ever want
I only wanna make it good
So if I love you a little more than I should

Please forgive me - I know not what I do
Please forgive me - I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me - this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me - if I need ya like I do
Oh believe me - every word I say is true
Please forgive me - I can't stop loving you

One thing I'm sure of - is the way we make love
The one thing I depend on
Is for us to stay strong
With every word and every breath I'm prayin'
That's why I'm sayin'

Please forgive me - I know not what I do
Please forgive me - I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me - this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me - if I need you like I do
Babe believe me - every word I say is true
Please forgive me - If I can't stop loving you
Never leave me - I don't know what I do
Please forgive me - I Can't stop loving you

Can't stop loving you
