No Surprise

For the first time

I see exactly who you are

Like a blind man the king of all you see

There's a big smile for the ladies as you walk by

And a big kiss for the babies

Could you just die

it's no surprise what you're telling me

So full of lies, a wanna be

Big fish you're going nowhere fast

Liars never last

You commit no sin

Religion by your rules

Empty promises you takes us all for fools

There's a big smile for the ladies as you walk by

And a big kiss for the babies

Could you just die

it's no surprise what you're telling me

So full of lies, a wanna be

Big fish you're going nowhere fast

Liars never last

You cause all this pain

Driving me insane

Now there's no one else to blame

There's a big smile for the ladies as you walk by

And a big kiss for the babies

Could you just die

One Man Alone

Was it morning when I woke up

Or is it afternoon

If I have to face another day

Lord, it's much too soon

Don't wanna open my eyes

Please just one, just try

It's all I can do

Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow

Had it all in my hand

And I let it slip away, let it slip away

Had it all in my heart and I just walked away

I'm a man, I'm a man inside the darkness

I'm a man without a home

I'm a man without a future

I'm a man without a soul

I'm falling ever faster

Feel the emptiness

I'm headed for nowhere

There's not place to hide

There's no pace to hide

Had it all in my hands

And I let it slip away, let it slip way

I was young and I didn't understand

didn't understand, didn't understand

I'm a man, I'm a man without a future

I'm a man without a home

I let it slip way

I'm a man without a soul

I'm a man without a future

I'm a man without a home

I'm a man inside the darkness

Like a dog without a bone

Save your prayers for a man that's really there

Every moment is another day of sorrow

Nowhere left to hide

One More Chance

I know you've seen it in my eyes
All of those lame excuses
Suprised you haven't hit the road before
Something better than a lonely night
Seem to be so elusive

When all I do is walk right out the door

All I'm asking for is one more chance
Have pity on a dying man
If I lose you that's what I am
Just give me one more chance

Ooo we've taken quite a ride
Something like a roller coaster
Nothing matters if you don't stay on till the end
I know you'll wonder why
Have to think it over
You won't be sorry if you crash my party again

All I'm asking for is one more chance
Have pity on a dying man
If I lose you that's what I am
Just give me one more chance

All I'm asking for is one more chance
Have pity on a dying man
If I lose you that's what I am
Just give me one more chance

Perfect World

In a perfect world
It would never end like this
There'd be something we could do

In a perfect world
Lovers wake up with a kiss
And their wishes all come true

But here we are
I thought you belonged to me
It seemed like the perfect arrangement
Ain' t it funny when you find how wrong you can be

Cause, oh, this ain' t no perfect world
I've got my problems
No, this ain' t no perfect world
You've got your problems too

Now what do we do

In a perfect world
I'd have been the boy you need
I'd have been somebody else

In a perfect world
You'd have been the girl for me, yeah
You could have been yourself

You see, we're dying' for love
But we're afraid to drop our guard
Lost in a world, gone crazy
Where the men won't grow up
And the woman gets so hard

Oh, this ain' t no perfect world
Cause I've got my problems
No, this ain' t no perfect world
Cause you've got your problems, too

Now what do we do

I don't know if we'll wind up friends
I don't know if we'll wind up strangers
Cause I never had to walk away from anybody

I wanted as much as I wanted you

The Power

You think you've got it, got it under control

The clock is ticking almost time to roll

Anticipating every step of the way

A few more hours it's the end of the day

I can almost taste it now, what I want and how

On the runway gonna fly, and there's nothing

That can stop me now

To the power, to the power of ten

There ain't no limit to the show that never ends

To the power, to the power again

We'll rock, we'll shoot, for the stars

We'll get that feeling, it'll come tonight

The biggest party ya we'll do right

We're gonna shake it baby all night long

We're gonna do it our our favorite song

I can almost taste it now, what I want and how

On the runway gonna fly

And there's nothing that can stop me now

To the power, to the power of ten

There ain't no limit to the show that never ends

To the power, to the power again

We'll rock, we'll shoot, for the stars

You know I wanna be a rambler

I wanna be what I can be

I'll go along that open highway

I will, I will

Say What I Wanna Say

With that innocent smile, you said trust me

Together we'll go far, you just trust me

Making promises in vain, that's easy for you

You gather all the pain, that's all you can do

All on my own, I was blind to see

You hypnotized me, I was lost

Now I've awakened

The stone was just sand, now I'm a man

Hey, I'll say what I wanna say

Hey, I'll be what I wanna be

Like a lion in a cage, inside I feel the rage

Hey, I'll say what I wanna say

Can't stop me

You taught me a lesson I'll never forget

To never go no further than my soul allows

All on my own, I was blind to see

You hypnotized me, I was lost

Now I've awakened

The stone was just sand, now I'm a man

Hey, I'll say what I wanna say

Hey, I'll be what I wanna be

Like a lion in a cage, inside I feel the rage

Hey, I'll say what I wanna say

Can't play your game, now who'd to blame

You think you're tough, I've had enough

Now I'm free from under the gun

Away from your spell I'll run, up and away

Hey, I'll say what I wanna say

Hey, I'll be what I wanna be

Like a lion in a cage, inside I feel the rage

Hey, I'll say what I wanna say

Hey, I'll say what I wanna say

Can't stop me

The Sky is Falling

I stumble out of bed this morning

Searching for a cigarette to start my day

But the pack is empty

Then reaching for my coffee cup

It crashes to the floor in a million pieces

And there's no coffee

And Starbucks is too far to walk

A new one's coming at the end of my block

I trip down the hallway, flip on the tube

To see what's happening on the AM news

And the sky is falling

Yeah there's fire in the clouds

Didn't see it coming, devastation all around

Yeah the sky is falling leaving holes against the blue

I see walls a crumbling

And they never had a clue

I throw on some old clothes that I find

Rolled up in a ball next to the TV

I think they're dirty

The air outside is stale and old

Filled up with the anguish of human souls

The questioning faces of the people I see

Prove without a doubt they're as confused as me

And the sky is falling

And I cannot find the sun

But there's voices calling, crying out to everyone

Yeah, the sky is falling there's no making sense of it

But I can't help thinking that the whole worlds gone to shit

Time has changed we've lost our innocence

And the price we paid has no equal recompense

But we will never be that innocent again, yeah.

And the sky is falling

Yeah there's fire in the clouds

Didn't see it coming, devastation all around

Yeah the sky is falling leaving holes against the blue

The sky is falling

Waiting For Love

I look ok but I'm not myself,

Standing by the phone
Darling I'm wondering how I'm gonna let you go
You made me build you a perfect world,

To keep you satisfied
But now you're just a broken dream,

And when I get back my pride

You'll still be waiting for love
You'll still be waiting for the sun to rise,
In the middle of the night
You'll still be waiting for love
I know you'll be waiting when that train passes by
You'll still be waiting for love

Like a dream there's a lucky feeling, coming from my soul
Girl I guess I learned the truth
That you already know, oh oh oh
Took me a while to realize,

It's a dark and lonely town
And you'll know where you'll find yourself,
When the walls comes tumbling down

You'll still be waiting for love
You'll still be waiting for the sun to rise
In the middle of the night
You'll still be waiting for love
I know you'll be waiting when that train passes by

You'll still be waiting for love

You'll still be waiting for the sun to shine,
In the middle of the night
You'll still be waiting for love

I know you'll be waiting when that train passes by

You'll still be waiting for love

I lost my heart, I lost my mind
But it really doesn't matter
I'm gonna leave my tears behind
And you'll still be waiting

You made me build you a perfect world

And when I get back my pride

You'll still be waiting for love

You'll still be waiting for the sun to rise
In the middle of the night

You'll still be waiting for love

I know you'll be waiting when that train passes by

You'll still be waiting for love

You'll still be waiting for the sun to shine,

Ooo

Waiting for love

I know you'll be waiting when that train passes by

You'll still be waiting for love

Waiting for love

What To Do

I spend my money

Then I try in vain

Can't seem to understand you girl

All at once, here it comes again

This time I've got to pay the price

There we are, and the people come and go

No matter where we stand

Turn around, I've got the right to know

What have we done

What to do, what to do

Do about love

What to do, what to do

Do about nothing

I paid the piper

Nothing in return

Be careful when you roll the dice

Never judge it, before you read the book

Believe me when I sing this song

There we are, and the people come and go

No matter where we stand

Turn around, I've got the right to know

What have we done

What to do, what to do

Do about love

What to do, what to do

Do about nothing

What should I say I'll please you and I must

Make up your mind

Say you will, say you won't, say you will

When I'm With You

I never needed love
Like I need you
And I never lived for nobody
But I live for you
Ooo babe
Lost in love is what I feel
When I'm with you

Maybe it's the way you touch me
With the warmth of the sun
Maybe it's the way you smile
I come all undone
Ooh babe
Lost in love is what I feel
When I'm with you

Baby oh I get chills when I'm with you, wo-o wo-o
Oh baby my world stands still when I'm with you
When I'm with you

I never cared for nobody
Like I care for you
And I never wanted to share the things
I want to share to with you
Ooo babe
Lost in love is what I feel
When I'm with you

Baby oh I get chills when I'm with you, wo-o wo-o
Oh baby, my world stands still when I'm with you, wo-o wo-o
Baby oh I get chills when I'm with you, wo-o wo-o
Oh baby, my world stands still when I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you

When I'm with you

Who Do You Think You Are

You wake up in the dark of the night

You keep dreaming of someone else

You wake up in the dead of the night

It's like you don't know me at all

What should I say do you think I'm blind

Without me you got nowhere to go

Tell me tell me I'm wrong

Who do you think you are

What do you think you're fooling

Where do you go, what's the reason

It's only you who's losing

I saw you in the dark of the night

Making big time for someone else

I felt you in the heat of the night

Making love to someone else

What should I say do you think I'm blind

Without me you've got nothing at all

Tell me tell me I'm wrong

Who do you think you are

Who do you think you're fooling

Where do you go, what's the reason

It's only you who's losing

You think you're some lover

But baby I've found another

Who do you think you are

Who do you stink you're fooling

Where do you go, what's the reason

It's only you who's losing
