I was so lonely until I met you
Told myself I'd get by without love

Drownin' my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
Kind of felt that I just had enough
You light up my face with your jokes and your smiles

And the way that you came here tonight
Don't know what you got
But I'm sure glad I found you
Could be wrong but it sure feels right

And here I am
I'm back on my feet again
Here I am
I'm back on my feet again

Surprised at myself
for the way that I feel
So happy that you're
here with me

Some women I've known
They've left me with nothing
But I guess that was just meant to be

And here I am
I'm back on my feet again
Here I am
I'm back on my feet again

I was down for the count
I was down
I was beat
I was cryin'
I was cornered and hurt
I was hidin' my face
Sittin' there cryin'

I was so lonely until I met you
Told myself I'd get by without love
Drownin' my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
Kind of felt that I just had enough

And here I am
I'm back on my feet again
Here I am
I'm back on my feet again.
Yes here I am
I'm back on my feet again
Here I am
I'm back on my feet again

. . .


I try to call ya
But I only get your service
You're the playmate of the year
So I guess that I deserve it
Well you left me with some habits
That are awful hard to kick
If you see me on your TV screen
You better come on over quick
Cause true love and true confessions
Are the same thing
Don't go and sell our secrets for a gold ring
Our love was ended quickly for the deadlines
Now you talk about me in the headlines
You're always seen in Paris
At the Central Fashion Show
You got a million lovers
And I can't forget your glow
Well each week was like a playing card
And I'm living in a dream
You were nothin' like I thought you were
But I'm nothin' like I seem
Cause true love and true confessions
Are the same thing
Don't go and sell our secrets for a gold ring
Our love was ended quickly for the deadlines
Now you talk about me in the headlines
You're so beautiful and clever
But you always have to scheme
Your reckless life will turn on you
Up along the silver screen
Oh yeah
This is true love
Cause true love and true confessions
Are the same thing
Don't go and sell our secrets for a gold ring
Our love was ended quickly for the deadlines
Now you talk about me in the headlines
Cause true love and true confessions
Are the same thing
Don't go and sell our secrets for a gold ring
Our love was ended quickly for the deadlines
Now you talk about me in the headlines

. . .


Driving faster than you want me to
Can't help myself when I'm alone with you
Alright
Alright

I've passed the limit and there's no way back
Your kind of love gives me a heart attack
Alright
Alright

'Cuz baby can't you see
We need to spend some time alone
We need to see some dreams come true
I wanna feel me touching you
We need a midnight rendezvous

On the freeway with the throttle down
You drive me crazy as we drive around
Alright
All night

The way you look tonight you aim to please
The dress you're wearin' is way past your knees
Alright
Alright

'Cuz baby can't you see
We need to spend some time alone
We need to see some dreams come true
I wanna feel you touching me
We need a midnight rendezvous

Midnight
Midnight rendezvous
Midnight
Midnight rendezvous
Midnight
Midnight rendezvous
Midnight
Midnight rendezvous
Yeah yeah

All I really wanna do
Spend some time alone with you
Yeah
A midnight
(Baby baby can you see)
(Baby baby you and me)
(Baby baby can you see)
(Baby baby you and me)
A midnight rendezvous
Yeah
All I really wanna do
Oh I really wanna fuck you
Oh
Midnight rendezvous

Missin' at school
Bustin' the rules
Hates everything in sight
Needs some new shoes
Dad's on the booze
She's never there
Far away kid
All on his own
Can't tell the wrong from right
Thin as a rake
Tough as a nail tonight
Tonight
Here are your hopes for the future you'll see
If you hang 'round the neck of a loser like me
There's no one else in your life
You don't need anyone
Come with me in the night
I will give you the matches
I will make you complete
Won't you please come with me
I won't ask you again
I can give you the hopes of a younger man
In the night we can hear
I'm your friend and what's more
I will give you what you've been looking for
Yes I can give you what you've been looking for
Should I run
Should I take it
Should I go or should I stay?
Who side am I on in this game that we play
I wanna be somebody someday
Living my life away
And I can't find a job
I can't pay the rent
Police are always breathing down my neck
And there's no way out
There's no way out no more
Under this flag
We're all Union Jacks
And there's no home for the brave
And there's no way back
We are the obeyer
We are the law
In stained boots
And navy blue
Hello hello hello
With fire in my heart and you along beside me
We'll burn down all the schools
That taught us there's‚ nothing better than
To live by all the rules
Made by the ruling classes
So the scales of justice tip
In the favor of the government
Under this flag
We're all Union Jacks
And there's no home for the brave
And there's no way back
We are the obeyer
We are the law
In stained boots
And navy blue
Hello hello hello
With fire in my heart and you along beside me
We'll burn down all the schools
That taught us there's nothing better than
To live by all the rules
Made by the ruling classes
So the scales of justice tip
In the favor of the government
Under this flag
We're all Union Jacks
And there's no home for the brave
And there's no way back
Under this flag
We're all Union Jacks
And there's no home for the brave
And there's no way back
Tonight
Here are your hopes for a future you'll see
You're like me
We're all Union Jacks

. . .


Where can it be
Is it you
It had to be someone
In my life through these days
There's got to be a better way
Seen my love lose her grip
She can't take it
Get high
Get low
Well one day I'm gonna break it
But here in your eyes
I see what I need to know
You're so young you've got alibis
And you stripped away my disguise
Ain't it so
Day or night
You make me feel alright
Ain't it funny how the time flies
Gazing in your eyes
Who in the world even cares
We're all gettin older
I'm alone
I need love
I'm gonna break it
Seen my love lose her grip
She can't take it
Get high
Get low
Well one day I'm gonna break it
But here in your eyes
I see what I need to know
You're so young you've got alibis
And you stripped away my disguise
Ain't it so
Day or night
You make me feel alright
Ain't it funny how the time flies
Gazing in your eyes
Gazing in your eyes
Gazing in your eyes

. . .


Hear a message on my radio

A crack of thunder over my hometown

Give me something I can touch with my hands
Something I can look at and understand
If you're up there no don't look down on me
Do something quick I can't pay the rent
Do you believe in Jesus
Is he there
Is there a God above
And does he really care
Oh yeah
Jesus are you there
And do you really care
I don't believe in nothing no more
Can't find the truth
I just need to score
Don't give me Hare Krishna
Keep it to yourself man
Stand back
Get back
Do you believe in Jesus
Is he there
Is there a God above
And does he really care
Oh yeah
Jesus are you there
And do you really care
Take me on a cruise around the world
Give me a break
Bring me a girl
Getting crazy about World War Three
It's suicide of the sanctuary
Should I believe in Jesus
Is he there
Is there a God above
And does he really care
Oh yeah
Jesus are you there
And do you really care
Oh yeah
No no no no
Jesus are you there
Oh yeah
No no no no no no
Do you really care
Jesus are you there
Anybody in
Jesus Jesus Jesus are you there

Leavin' on the runway
To another world
Still stranded somewhere
In between the earth and sky
It's 3 AM
I'm in Japan
You're still on my mind
Your long-distance love is coming through alright
And I'm not lonely
Lost in the Orient
I'm dreamin' of
Turn around in Tokyo
Gotta send it back to you
Turn around in Tokyo
Well I feel like a stranger
In a modern land
Outside the sky light stands like a Buddha shrine
And on the east horizon there's complete design
It's the quiet hours of darkness before the light
The words don't come easy
Lost in the Orient
I miss you
Turn around in Tokyo
Gotta make it back to you
Turn around in Tokyo
I'm comin' home now
And I'm not lonely
Lost in the Orient
I'm dreamin'
Turn around in Tokyo
Gotta make it back to you
Turn around in Tokyo
I'm comin' home
Oh oh
I'm all turned around yeah
I'm all turned around
I'm all turned around yeah
I'm all turned around
Turn around in Tokyo
I said turn around in Tokyo
Tokyo Tokyo Tokyo Tokyo
Oh baby
I'm all turned around
Gotta make it back to you
I miss ya girl
Miss ya girl

. . .


You turn your back on me
And you slam the door
I burn my bridges
Watch the players
I know the score
The starlings fly for winter skies
Only the cold wind blows
Love is just a mystery
Like colors to the blind
You always need
A secret agent love
You feel you've missed
Once chance for the spirits
Something stronger than a kiss
Around the world
The signal beams
For others and their dreams
Love is just a mystery
Like colors to the blind
Love is just a mystery
Like colors to the blind
Love is just a mystery
Love is just a mystery
Love is just a mystery
Love is just a mystery
