I'd bet my soul on a roll of a dice
I hit the ground runnin'
And I never think twice
I'd brave the heat of a
Wild cat fire to satisfy
My animal desire

Can't stop me now
I've set my sights on you
Right to the heart
My aim is true, that's why

All or nothing at all
Is how I feel about it
Won't stand my back to the wall
I'll find my way around it
All or nothing at all
There's nothing I won't do
And the one thing I want
All of is you

Don't want to labor at love
Rather do without
Won't carry the torch
I wanna burn down the house
I wanna give you all my lovin'
Baby listen to this
I would never settle for
Anything less

Can't stop me now
Once you've got me goin'
Can't slow me down
I'm driven by your motion

All or nothing at all
Is how I feel about it
Won't stand my back to the wall
I'll find my way around it
All or nothing at all
There's nothing I won't do
And the one thing I want
All of is you

. . .


Another day has come can't face it on my own
I almost let you walk away and I guess I should have known
I'll give it to you straight 'cause some things just can't wait
I' ve got to make it up to you and I'll pray it's not too late
'cause when you look at me with those sad blue eyes
It stops me cold and I realize you're all I need tonight

We're halfway to heaven lyin' beside you on a night so still
We're halway to heaven I ask you if you'll stay and baby say you will

So what's a man to do to get it through to you
Another lost and lonely night would break this heart in two
So let's take a chance and it'll be allright
Just put your trust in me toniht girl we're almost there

We're halfway to heaven there's something magic 'bout the way you kiss
We're halfway to heaven runnin' with you baby on a a night like this
We're halfway to heaven I never dreamed that I could get this high
We're halfway to heaven girl I couldn't leave you even if I tried

You got me captured in a crazy spin
You got me so I just can't tell the shape I'm in

We're halfway to heaven there's something magic 'bout the way you kiss
We're halfway to heaven runnin' with you baby on a a night like this
We're halfway to heaven I never dreamed that I could get this high
We're halfway to heaven girl I couldn't leave you even if I tried

. . .


I never dreamed that I could fall
But something's come over me
Now I'm sittin' starin' at the wall
Afraid for my sanity

The sound of your voice
The touch of your skin
It's hauntin' me
I'm still tryin' to come to my senses
but I can't look back
So I'm takin' my chances

I wanna give you my heart
Give you my soul
I wanna lay in your arms
Never let go
Don't wanna live my life without you
But I know when you're gone
Like a fire needs a spark
Like a fool in the dark
Honey, I'll cry for you

Wonderin' why I'm runnin' scared
From what I believe in
I know that love is just another word
To say what I'm feelin'

For once in my life the future is mine
It's callin' me
I've been searchin' so long
for an answer
But it's too late now
So I'm takin' my chances

. . .


Give a little bit of lovin' and I'll treat you right
give a little bit of lovin' And I'll stay the night
Just like a gypsy I come to town
I've been longin' for that girl I left behind
I might be a fool yeah But come what may
I've been lovin' every minute everyday
Give a little bit of lovin' and I'll treat you right
give a little bit of lovin' And I'll stay the night
I don't need nobody I stand alone
but there's a woman that I like to call my own
I ain't got the money To make her shine
But I've got plenty other ways to make her mine
Give a little bit of lovin' and I'll treat you right
give a little bit of lovin' And I'll stay the night
You got to give me some lovin'
I'm gonna make you feel so good
She's got a deadly eyes a twisted mind
she's one in a million One of a kind
Cold chills runnin' down to the bone
she gives me lovin' Like I've never known
We tumble and roll 'Til the break of day
She's so wild Blows my world away
With her there's nothin' I wouldn't do
Baby we've got something to hold on to
Lay it down and it's plain to see
The woman's got the best of me
Give a little bit of lovin' and I'll treat you right
give a little bit of lovin' And I'll stay the night

. . .


It's not like before, baby You can't come running back no more...
And talk to me When it cuts like a knife
You just talk to me baby When the feelin' ain't right
Who do you think you're foolin' not me
September rain is fallin'
I see you on the street just passin' by
And though your lips are smilin'
I can see the coldness in your eyes
So hell is what you've been through
I never thought I'd see you 'round here no more
Now you need someone to talk to
Just like before
You only talk to me When it cuts like a knife
You just talk to me baby When you hurt deep inside
who do you think you're foolin' not me
You had to have it your way
From you that was a promise and a threat
Now you look for consolation
Just remember what you give is what you get
the hardest part was changin'
I was holdin' on the dreams from yesterday
I used to be here waitin'
Here's what I say
You only talk to me
When it cuts like a knife
You just talk to me baby
When the feelin' ain't right
Who do you think you're foolin' not me

. . .


I've been sailin' 'cross the ocean
With the devil by my side
I've been flyin' cross the great blue sky
But there's nowhere to hide
I've been standin' by the crossroads
I've been lookin' for a clue
I've been prayin' for the human race
There' s not a lot I can do
I've been waitin' for the warnin'
As we look to the sky now
we all seem lost if you ask me why
It's the seventh sign
See the blood-red sky tonight
It's the seventh sign
See the blood red sky
There's a voice out on the wasteland
it says we're runnin' out of time
I used to think the world could change
Lord I must have been blind
I've been cryin' out for mankind
I've been hangin' on to faith
But the comin' of a messenger
Says it's much too late
We could all come together
And gather all around
What good is war when we all go down
It's the seventh sign
See the blood-red sky tonight
It's the seventh sign See the blood red sky

. . .


I want to learn how to fly
I want to be respected
I want to get lucky
I want to get out of this dump
I just want to watch TV
I want to be loved
I want to be different
I want a brother and sister
I´d just rather be forgotten
I want to save the world
I want to be understood
I want to be rich
Man, I just want to be somebody

Julie´s got the word today
She lost her job just one last pay
Life don´t come easy anymore
Still strugglin´on by herself
Got a picture of Jimmy
There on the shelf
And she looks at him and says
Why did we let it go

I know that sometimes baby
We didn´t see things eye-to-eye
But I got just one question
Did we have to say goodbye

Just like prisoners in paradise
Still far from heaven´s door
We had it all but still we
Wanted more
Now I realize that I can´t
Turn back the future´s here
To stay but hey
We´re just children of tomorrow
Hangin´ on to yesterday

Jimmy still recalls the night
When he took his guitar
And headed on out
To find the big time
That was his dream
He gave up his past
And made it alright
But there´s something missin´
In his heart tonight
Sometimes what you want
Ain´t what you need

He misses drivin´ down
To the lake at night
Holdin´ his baby
In his arms so tight
Ain´t it hard to find illusions
When you´re livin´ in a memory

Just like prisoners in paradise
So close but yet so far
There will come a time
No matter who you are
When you ask yourself
Was it right or wrong
For me to turn away but hey
We´re just children of tomorrow
Hangin´ on to yesterday>

Always lookin' for a good time
She came on just like a hurricane
man she was far too hot to handle
Like fightin' fire with gasoline
All I needed was compassion
I'd been out there on my own too long
But she hungered for my lovin'
That first bite chilled me to the bone
Bad blood Runnin' through my veins
Bad, bad blood Is drivin' me insane
Hey I've become a wild one
I'm not quite the man I used to be
just like livin' on a knife edge
that woman put a spell on me
Bad blood Runnin' through my veins
Bad, bad blood Is drivin' me insane
Always lookin' for a good time
She came on just like a hurricane
man she was far too hot to handle
Like fightin' fire with gasoline

. . .


Remember that summer
Down by the shoreline
I still can hear those old
Forgotten songs
And we made promises
To last forever
I just can't believe those
Days are gone

There used to be a place
We used to call our own
We used to think tomorrow
Was a long, long time
But sadness filled my heart
When I knew the moment had come
When I had to leave those days
Behind

I felt so free
Where I wanted to be
The days went so fast
How I wish they could last

So far from my homeland
I'm lost in time
My soul's still searchin'
For that peace of mind
Those sacred landscapes
Come miles around
And my heart's still beatin'
For those country grounds

Remember when our hearts
Were filled with laughter
It echoes in my trail
Of fallen tears
But no matter where I am today
Or what the future might bring
I will remember those
Long gone years

I can't let go
I wanna know
Does it have to end
For the best of friends

So far from my homeland
I'm lost in time
And my soul's still searchin'
For that peace of mind
Those sacred landscapes
Come miles around
And my heart's still beatin'
For those country grounds

Lord I know
That those days are gone
Long, long gone
I felt so free
Where I wanted to be
Days went so fast
How I wish they could last

. . .


What's a man to do when he's bein' acused
I hear you talkin' it's real bad news
nothin' happened with that girl last night
so baby won't you tell me why
You got your mind in the gutter
You got your mind in the gutter
You're jumpin' to conclusions and it's plain to see
You got your mind in the gutter Don't blame me
You say I'm foolin' 'round playin' the field
baby let me tell you it's not big deal
no I ain't gettin' a little on the side
but I feel like a prisoner with both hands tied
You say you found a number On a matchbook in my coat
and lipstick smeared on my shirt
I hate to disappoint you and it scares me to death
that if your shovel ain't full you just keep diggin' up some dirt
You've pushed me into a corner You've got my back to the wall
I stand accused of bein' lome kind of liar
Hey I wouldn't those you down if you were on fire
You got your mind in the gutter
You got your mind in the gutter
Baby I keep those women Far away from my skin
but since your mind's in the gutter man I just can't win
I too her aside to give her my point of view
what you tryin' to pull babe it just ain't true
There should be a warnin' up above your cage
sayin' don't feed the lion she's in a state of rage
How can I prove That I've done nothin' wrong
you know in your heart that you're all that I want
you're all fired up just a little too tight
now babe what can I tell you you just ain't right
Ain't got a bad reputation So why you tearin' it down
don't know what happened but your mind's gone south
no I can't believe what comes out of your mouth
You got your mind in the gutter
You got your mind in the gutter
I know what you're sayin' but it just ain't true
you've got your mind in the gutter baby shame on you
You say I'm foolin' 'round playin' the field
baby let me tell you it's not big deal
no I ain't gettin' a little on the side
Baby what can I tell you you just ain't right

. . .


Hey you should know by now
I'm gonna take you down
Can't keep me out forever
'Cause now I'm back around
Put your best defense
I've made up my mind
I ain't like the others
I'm gonna make you mine

I'm gonna keep on knockin'
Knockin' like before
'Til my heart beats down your door
I'm gonna keep on comin'
Comin' back for more
'Til my heart
'Til my heart beats down your door

Baby you know you love me
So why do you pretend
When I could make you happy
If you just let me in
Well I remember better days
With you by my side
I'll keep you warm forever
And if it takes all night

. . .


It's time to break out from the cage
It's time to change your ways
It's time to find those
Shattered dreams
That vanished in the haze
It's time to lose those
Concrete shoes
They held you down too long 'cause
Trouble days have come and gone
And the night has just begun
Another dawn is yet to come
Carry on my little one
Girl from Lebanon

It's time to meet the changes
They come from all around
It's time for you to realize
Freedom has been found
It's time to meet the future
And forget about the past
It's time to make a good thing last

And the night has just begun
Another dawn is yet to come
Carry on my little one
Girl from Lebanon

It's time to cut the barbwire
And walk out on the street
It's time that we stayed
Up all night
And lose all kinds of sleep
It's time to wear those bright
Blue jeans
And let your hair hang down
The word of peace is goin' 'round
