  1. I Do' Wanna Know 4:13 Lyrics

    You have said as much as you can say
    Your heart is just about to overflow
    Must be something more I can do
    Some new plateau
    I’m listening to you
    Dying to know
    Everything that your feeling
    Every change you undergo
    Just don’t tell me that you love me
    Because I do’ wanna know

    I do’ wanna know how much you love me
    I do’ wanna know how much you care
    I do’ wanna, I do’ wanna, I do’ wanna know
    I do’ wanna do what I’m supposed to
    I do’ wanna wear what I’m supposed to wear
    I do’ wanna, I do’ wanna, I do’ wanna know

    You are gonna do what you must do
    You are gonna go where you want to go
    You are gonna hear what you hear
    Fear what you fear
    Don’t say a word
    Don’t let it show
    You will be what you will be
    You will reap everything you sow
    Just don’t tell me that you love me
    Because I do’ wanna know

  2. One Lonely Night 3:21 Lyrics

    You and your baby had some words today
    Til not another word was left to say
    I see that grin boy
    Maybe you think you’ll win boy
    Until the sun goes down and once again boy

    One lonely night
    One lonely night
    That’s all it takes to completely break you

    They say it’s darkest right before the dawn
    But oh those darkest hours can be so long
    You’re feelin’ strong boy
    Tellin’ yourself she’s wrong boy
    But how much longer can this night go on boy

    (Chorus)

    Ooh she’s such a good find
    Have you gone and lost your mind
    You should know she’s one of a kind

  3. Thru the Window 5:02 Lyrics

    Thru the window, I slip away
    Into the darkness, time has come
    I must use caution, summer nights are here, I’ll race For the shadows, I’ll make a trail
    No one can follow, and all I feel
    Is the breeze rushin by my face

    Runnin free thru the night in the street
    Like it best when I feel the heat
    I know my baby’s waitin just for me

    Creepin’, thru her neighborhood
    I hope nobody, has seen or heard
    My intentions, are driven by this flame inside

    I see her light on, her silhouette’s
    In the window, she’s waiting for
    My arrival, on this summer night

    Runnin free thru the night in the street
    Like it best when I feel the heat
    Runnin free thru the night in the street
    I know my baby’s waiting just for me
    Runnin free thru the night in the street
    I like it best when I fell the heat, oh yeah

    Thru her window, she slips away
    I hear her heartbeat
    High emotion, takes us where we’ve never been before

  4. Rock 'N Roll Star 3:41 Lyrics

    I was just a boy when the river ran dry
    And I can still remember my mama cry
    She said “Son leave as fast as you can
    But don’t waste your life in this rock ‘n’ roll band”

    I saw the light and left as fast as I could
    I knew deep down it was gonna do me good
    So I threw my Fender in an old friend’s car
    I knew I’d come home a rock n’roll star

    So we hit the road but the road hit back
    We thought we’d take the world with a hit and run attack
    Now I’m center stage but it feels bizarre
    Despite new cars and caviar

    An overnight success created by the press
    But they’ll eat you up if you show them any stress
    So I lick my wounds and I hide my scars
    The whole world thinks I’m a rock n’ roll star

    Rock ‘n’ roll star, rock ‘n’ roll star
    That’s what they call you
    That’s not what you are
    Rock ‘n’ roll star, rock ‘n’ roll star
    I still wanna be a rock ‘n’ roll star

    So we got a break in our whirlwind tour
    I called home said I’m comin home for sure
    I’m tired of hurry up, make the plane, jump in the car
    I’m home on loan, I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star

  5. Live Every Moment 4:59 Lyrics

    Live every moment – love every day
    ‘Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.
    Live every moment – love every day
    ‘Cause if you don’t you might just throw your love away.

    I walked for seven miles this mornin’. Footprints in the sand.
    Washed away without a warning when the water hit the land.
    But I will walk on ’til I can no longer stand.
    I’ll take you by the hand and we’ll…

    Live every moment – love every day
    ‘Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.

    There’s water in the wind tonight.
    There’s a chill in the air.
    It’s coolin’ down my skin tonight
    Soakin’ through your hair.
    There’s warmth enough within’ tonight
    for both of us to share.
    We can take it anywhere. And we’ll…

    Live every moment – love every day
    ‘Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.

    Sometimes I wish we could take a trip far away.
    Leave all this trouble and heartache and pain for another day.
    I will search for that place but ’til I find it all I can say is…

    Live every moment – and love every day

  6. Can't Fight This Feeling 4:54 Lyrics

    I can’t fight this feeling any longer
    And yet I’m still afraid to let it flow
    What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
    I only wish I had the strength to let it show

    I tell myself that I can’t hold out forever
    I said there is no reason for my fear
    Cause I feel so secure when we’re together
    You give my life direction
    You make everything so clear

    And even as I wander
    I’m keeping you in sight
    You’re a candle in the window
    On a cold, dark winter’s night
    And I’m getting closer than I ever thought I might

    And I can’t fight this feeling anymore
    I’ve forgotten what I started fighting for
    It’s time to bring this ship into the shore
    And throw away the oars, forever

    Cause I can’t fight this feeling anymore
    I’ve forgotten what I started fighting for
    And if I have to crawl upon the floor
    Come crushing through your door
    Baby, I can’t fight this feeling anymore

    My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
    I’ve been running round in circles in my mind
    And it always seems that I’m following you, girl
    Cause you take me to the places that alone I’d never find

    And even as I wander I’m keeping you in sight
    You’re a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter’s night
    And I’m getting closer than I ever thought I might

    And I can’t fight this feeling anymore
    I’ve forgotten what I started fighting for
    It’s time to bring this ship into the shore
    And throw away the oars, forever

    Cause I can’t fight this feeling anymore
    I’ve forgotten what I started fighting for
    And if I have to crawl upon the floor
    Come crushing through your door
    Baby, I can’t fight this feeling anymore.

  7. Gotta Feel More 4:27 Lyrics

    I’ve never seen the sea seem so calm.
    I’ve never felt the breeze slippin’ thru the trees.
    But now I’ve got you and it’s takin so long.
    I wanna see more.
    I gotta feel more.

    I never felt young ’til I met you.
    Never felt fear ’til I thought about losin’ you.
    Only a fool would think that it’s all true.
    I wanna see more.
    I gotta feel more.

    I gotta feel more – more – more –
    Than I’ve ever felt before.
    There are deeper places to explore.
    I’ve seen the world thru an eagle’s eye.
    I’ve felt the ocean’s roar.
    I still love you to the core,
    I just gotta feel more.

    I never did believe that mountains could move.
    Never did believe that the Yankees could lose.
    I never thought love could come my way.
    I wanna see more.
    I gotta feel more.

    I never felt young ’til I met you.
    Never felt fear ’til I thought about losin’ you.
    Only a fool would think that it’s all true.
    I wanna see more.
    I gotta feel more.

    I gotta feel more – more – more –
    Than I’ve ever felt before.
    There are deeper places to explore.
    I’ve seen the world thru an eagle’s eye.
    I’ve felt the ocean’s roar.
    I still love you to the core,
    I just gotta feel more.

  8. Break His Spell 2:58 Lyrics

    You got that far away look in your eyes.
    But are you looking at me or at some other guy
    Who’s got you hypnotized,
    Got you mesmerized,
    Keep you tranquilized with ever kind of lie.
    Still he makes you cry,
    So baby realize that I…

    I’m gonna break his spell.
    I’ll put him in his place and get you out of this hell.
    I’m gonna break his spell.
    Take this relationship and send it straight to the well.
    I’m gonna break his spell.
    Baby I’m gonna break his spell.
    Yes I will.

    It’s been a while since I’ve known something’s wrong.
    At first you had me thinking everything was gone.
    I got a late start.
    I let him steal your heart.
    I let that fool come in and tear our world apart.
    But he’s not that smart.
    Another love shark and I…

    I’m gonna break his spell.
    I’ll put him in his place and get you out of this hell.
    I’m gonna break his spell.
    Take this relationship and send it straight to the well.
    I’m gonna break his spell.
    Baby I’m gonna break his spell.
    Yes I will.

  9. Wheels Are Turnin' 5:50 Lyrics

    I’ve been sittin’ back quietly,
    Watchin’ as my spirit fades.
    As all of my attempts to do rightly
    Get treated like some kind of terrorist raids.

    Maybe I ask too much from you
    Well I ain’t gettin’ too much in return.
    I’m doin’ my best to love you baby,
    But the wheels are beginning to turn.

    When you’re cut down to the bone.
    You bleed but it heals.
    You hurt still you must carry on.

    ‘Cus the wheels are turnin’ — The feeling’s burnin’
    The thrill’s returnin’
    My soul is yearnin’ — my heart is churnin’
    the wheels are turnin’ again.

    Maybe I’m actin’ irrational
    Hope I don’t hurt your heart
    This whole problem is only geographical
    I just need some kind of new start.

    And if I can’t get inspired ’round here,
    I’m going out to the world and learn.
    There’s action in my soul tonight.
    I feel the wheels are beginning to turn.

    When you’re cut down to the bone.
    You bleed but it heals.
    You hurt still you must carry on.

    ‘Cus the wheels are turnin’ — The feeling’s burnin’
    The thrill’s returnin’
    My soul is yearnin’ — my heart is churnin’
    the wheels are turnin’ again.

    I remember the last time I got on one of these rolls.
    I learned all about the tolls that it takes.
    I get something in my mind — it begins to unfold
    I get out in the cold — I can’t do what I’m told
    I get out of control — I can’t hold on to the brakes

    When you’re cut down to the bone.
    You bleed but it heals.
    You hurt still you must carry on.

    ‘Cus the wheels are turnin’ — The feeling’s burnin’
    The thrill’s returnin’
    My soul is yearnin’ — my heart is churnin’
    the wheels are turnin’ again.
