.38 Special Album

(Don Barnes/Jim Vallance/Jeff Carlisi, Donnie Van Zant/ Larry Steele)

Shoulda kept my distance
Shoulda known what I be riskin
But nothin short of holding you would ever do

Darlin

If we could be together
I would wait for you forever
But how'm I gonna win
If you never lose
I could feel the pressure
I could see you were something special
I couldn't walk away from you if Id tried

Darlin

I wanna be near you
If only you'd feel like I do
I must 've had it wrong, I should a known
Somebody like you could break my heart
Somebody like you could tear my world apart
Oh yeah
Somebody like you could keep me in the dark
Somebody like you could break my heart
Yea yeah

I knew that I was fallin
I could hear your heart beat callin
I was hopin you'd be mine before the night was thru

Darlin

I could keep on loving you
If there's a chance to somehow break thru
I must 've had it wrong
I should a known

Somebody like you could break my heart
Somebody like you baby
Somebody like you I'm tellin ya
Somebody like you could break my heart
Yea yea yea

Guess I new right from the start
That you were a pretender
But it was you who held my heart
I got love I wanna send you
Yeah, are you ready to surrender
Oh yeah

Somebody like you could break my heart
Somebody like you could tear my world apart
Oh yeah
Somebody like you could keep my in the dark
Somebody like you baby
Somebody like you I'm tellin ya

(Don Barnes/John Bettis/Jim Vallance/Jeff Carlisi)

I was feelin like a prisoner inside myself
I saw you
Lookin like you might be
In a mood to try anything that was new
Don't be starved for the love and laughter
Break through total stranger
You only get one life

This night could be like no other night
You and me
Find the fire in our hearts
And dance in the light
Yeah
We'll take our chances
How can we lose
We're making our own rules
This night can be like no other night

There's a child I can see in the back of your eyes
Dyin to be set free
Let the hunger inside you bring it alive
Baby
This night won't last forever
Break loose
Girl remember, you only get one life

This night can be like no other night, you and me
Can find the fire in our hearts
And dance in the light
Yeah
We'll take our chances
How can we lose, we're makin our own rules
This night will be like no other night

Yeah yeah
Time you don't use
You lose it
You grab every moment you can, before it's gone
When you can feel, you really
Know that you're alive
Show that you're alive
For one night and

This night can be like no other night, you and me
Findin the fire in our hearts
And dance in the light
Oh yeah
We'll take our chances
How can we lose, we're makin our own rules

(D. Barnes, J. Carlisi, J. Vallance)

I've been waitin' for you all night.
I got somethin' to say so listen good.
Even fools can see the light.
You should have known I would.

'Cause I, I've been a desperate man.
Wonder why, I just don't understand,
All the pain, that I feel,
With every piece of my heart
That you steal.

'Cause it's the last time.
You'll never get another chance again.
It's been a fine line.
The feeling's over and I can't pretend.
It's the last time.

I heard talkin', I guess it's true.
You were wrong, I can see it in your eyes.
Now it's down to me and you,
So where you gonna hide?

'Cause I, I've been a desperate man.
Wonderin' why,
Why you don't understand,
All the pain, that I feel,
With every piece of my heart
That you steal.

'Cause it's the last time.
You'll never get another chance again.
It's been a fine line.
The feeling's over and I can't pretend, No.

You think I'd believe all your lies?
I handed my heart to you.
I should have known it was wrong
Right from the start.
Now it's time to say goodbye, Whoa, oh.

Baby it's the last time.
You'll never get another chance again.
It's been a fine line.
The feeling's over and I can't pretend.
Baby it's the last time.
You'll never get another chance again.
It's been a fine line.
The feeling's over and I can't pretend.

(D. Barnes, J. Vallance)

Lovers, they come and go
Just like the seasons.
And lately, it's learnin' to know
When it's the real one.
It may be close at hand.
Don't try to understand it all

'Cause once in a lifetime,
First love, they tell you to wait
For the right one.
And then it's too late.
Next time, just leave it to fate,
You only get a chance,
Once in a lifetime. Mmm

Your heart aches,
For every day, anticipatin'
Just hold on, your time will come
'Cause you've been waitin'
Don't let it bring you down,
Your second chance will come around

'Cause once in a lifetime,
First love, they tell you to wait
For the right one.
And then it's too late.
Next time, just leave it to fate,
You only get a chance,
Once in a lifetime. Yeah, eh

Don't worry cause
It's bound to happen.
It ain't easy when
Your life is passin' you by.
It doesn't matter how you try.
You know it's just a state of mind. Yeah, yeah.

First love, they tell you to wait
For the right one.
And then it's too late.
Next time, just leave it to fate,
You only get a chance,
Once in a lifetime.

Once in a lifetime.

(G. O'Connor, D. Barnes, J. Carlisi, J. Bettis)

When I think that you got everything that you need,
you only ask for more.
You got dresses from Paris and a Jaguar car,
Nasty habits that no sheik could afford.
Easy money and what it buys.
is the loneliest kind of high.
If you ever just give it a try,

Just a little love (just a little love)
Goes a long way.
A little love goes a long, long way.
Just a little love (just a little love)
Just a little love
A little love goes a long, long, long, long way.

You bought a high-dollar house in the Hollywood hills,
the zip code of the stars.
Into nouvelle cuisine, candy keeps you lean.
The doctor takes your credit card.
In the emptiness of the night, when you never feel satisfied.
And you're missin' what could make it right.

Just a little love (just a little love)
Goes a long way.
A little love goes a long, long way.
Just a little love (just a little love)
Just a little love
A little love goes a long, long, long, long way.
Oh yeah.

Aren't you carryin' cash just a little too far?
What happens when it's gone?
Every pleasure gets old, like a river runs dry.
The things that last come down to one.

Just a little love, goes a long way.
A little love goes a long, long way.
Just a little love, just a little love,
A little love goes a long, long, long, long way.

Just a little love, goes a long way.
A little love goes a long, long way.
Just a little love, a little love,

(D. Barnes, J. Carlisi, J. Bettis, J. Vallance, L. Steele)

I used to love to say your name,
It'll never sound the same.
Foolish pride got in my way.
Now you'll never feel what I meant to say,
I wasted every chance you gave.

Why do I feel, I'm goin' in circles.
All I can do, is wonder why.
I should have known, I'd be the hurt one,
I've always been bad at goodbyes.
Has there ever been a good goodbye?

Foolish lovers just like me,
Even lose their memory.
For they learn to make believe.
Missin' you is pain without a cure.
I'd give my life for a minute in yours.

Why do I feel, I'm goin' in circles.
All I can do, is wonder why.
I should have known, I'd be the hurt one,
I've always been bad at goodbyes.
Has there ever been a good goodbye?

Night after night,
I remember days with you.
Why tell me why,
I still keep cryin' over you.
Oh there ain't no way around it, What we once had is through.

Why do I feel, I'm goin' in circles.
All I can do, is wonder why.
I should have known, I'd be the hurt one,
'Cause there's never been a good goodbye. . .
There's never been a good goodbye. Oh Whoa

Ain't no good goodbye,
Oh Oh, Whoa Whoa.

(D. Barnes, J. Vallance, J. Carlisi)

I want to tell you girl
Just how much I care
Got so many memories of
The good times that we've shared
Been in and out of love
A thousand times or more
I must be dreaming
Never felt like this before

Baby you, you're one in a million
And I can't believe your mine
Gonna love you forever
And every day that you're here with me
I'll give you the world
Cause you're one in a million girl

Once I was lonely
All the nights seemed so long
With no one to hold me
Until you came along
Thought love was meant for someone else
Was always hard to find
But, oh it ain't no mystery
It was right before my eyes

Baby you,you're one in a million
And I can't believe your mine
Wanna hold you forever
And every day that your here with me
I'll give you the world
Cause you're one in a million girl

I was a drifter
Just a man without a meaning
Now I've been captured
By this unfamiliar feeling
You're more than a lover
You're more than a friend
And I do know that I need ya
Now please don't let it end

I've been in and out of love
A thousand times or more
I must be dreaming
Never felt like this before
Cause you, you're one in a million
And I can't believe you're mine
Gonna love you forever
And every day that you're here with me
I'll give you the world
Cause you're one in a million girl

Ooh, one in a million
One in a million girl
One in a million
Give you my world

(D. VanZant, D. Barnes, J. Carlisi, J. Bettis)

Whoa, Yeah
When your heart's on fire,
Runnin' on the edge.
Do you know what I mean?
When your heart's on fire, yeah.
That's the only time your soul runs free.

Gotta get away, get a little freedom.
Somethin' of my own.
People wanna say, what I should be.
Why can't they leave me alone?
Don't know if the way I feel,
Hunger is the word.
I can't keep it inside.
I can feel the heat,
And the pressure's on.
Gotta break away, just to stay alive.

And my heart's on fire.
And I'm runnin' on the edge,
Do you know what I mean, Ooh.
When your heart's on fire, yeah.
That's the only time your soul runs free.
Tearin' up the road,
Listen to the engine scream.
Give it all that she has.
Push it to the line,
But never lookin' back,
As I live each day like the last.

You can try, for what you want,
And get what you deserve.
Don't let go of your dream.
When you bet your life,
You can have it all.
When it's do or die,
There's no inbetween.

If your heart's on fire.
Livin' on the edge.
Ooh, and you're burnin' up, Whoa.
Oh yeah.

You can live the way you want,
There's nothing to regret.
Every move you make,
And every chance you get.

When your heart's on fire.
And runnin' on the edge.
Do you know what I mean, Ooh.

When your heart's on fire, yeah.
That's the only time your soul runs free.
When your heart's on fire, runnin' on the edge.
Do you know what I mean?
Whoa, Oh.

(D. Barnes, D. VanZant, J. Bettis, S. Bryant, G. Reding)

A light on your shoulder,
Cool as ice and bright as lightnin'
Thunder in your eyes,
Talk to me and tell me
I'm in deeper every move.
'Till I'm almost lost in you.
Can you feel the way
That I can't hold back,
There's no limit to
What love can do.

Girl, it's only
You and me against the night.
In the shadows,
Finding love could save your life.
In a world of strangers,
The lovers will survive.
It's all that we have,
You and me against the night.

We should be movin',
Like a thief time steals your chances.
Now we got the fire,
But you wonder how long can we
Keep the spark alive.
If it takes us through the night.
Then it's all that I need
And I won't take less,
For the moment I know you're mine.

Girl, it's only
You and me against the night.
In the shadows,
Finding love can save your life.
In a world of strangers,
The lovers will survive.
It's all that we have,
You and me against the night.

Lead Break

Can we keep the spark alive?
'Cause it takes us
Through the night.
Then it's all that I need, And I won't take less,
For the moment I know you're mine,
You're mine, yeah.
Girl, it's only
You and me against the night.
In the shadows,
Finding love can save your life.
In a world of strangers,
The lovers will survive.
It's all that we have,
You and me against the night.
You and me against the night.

(S. Brayant, D. Vanzant, R. Freeland)

In extreme town, it can break down
Anyone who gives it half a chance.
It's a no man's land.
Where the heart beats,
Cold as concrete.
Come to sell their souls
Anyway they can.
Try to understand.

For everyone who makes it,
There's a million
Who get left behind.
The only way to make it out alive. . .
Is to never give an inch,
When you're livin' your life under fire,
Hold on.
Never give an inch,
Never lose sight of your one desire,
You're gone.
Never give an inch,
Take it straight to the end,
Even if it hurts, even if you bleed,
Even if you're down on your knees.
Never give an inch.

Fast walkers, slick talkers,
These are people, people talk about.
The spotlight goes out.
Between the users, and the losers,
There's never any room for any doubt.
You're in or you're out.

For every one that makes it,
There's a million who get left behind.
The only way to make it out alive
Is to never give an inch,
When you're livin' your life under fire,
Hold on.
Never give an inch,
Never lose sight of your one desire,
You're gone.
Never give an inch,
Take it straight to the end,
Even if it hurts, even if you bleed,
Even if you're down on your knees.
Never give an inch.

Some go for desperate measures,
They're under the gun.
I go for grace under pressure,
Standin' my ground, whenever it comes.

Lead Break

For everyone who makes it,
There's a million who get left behind.
The only way to make it out alive
Is to never give an inch,
When you're livin' your life under fire,
Hold on.
Never give an inch
Never lose sight of your one desire,
You're gone.
Never give an inch,
Take it straight to the end,
Even if it hurts, even if you bleed,
Even if you're down on your knees.
Never give an inch.
