Cuts Like a Knife
Drivin' home this evening
I coulda sworn we had it all worked out
You had this boy believin'
Way beyond the shadow of a doubt
Then I heard it on the street
I heard you mighta found somebody new
Well who is he baby- Who is he
And tell me what he means to you
I took it all for granted
But how was I to know
That you'd be letting go
Now it cuts like a knife
But it feels so right
It cuts like a knife
But it feels so right 
There's times I've 'bin mistaken
There's times I thought I'd 'bin misunderstood
So wait a minute darlin'
Can't you see we did the best we could
This wouldn't be the first time
Things have gone astray
Now you've thrown it all away
Now it cuts like a knife
But it feels so right
It cuts like a knife
But it feels so right 

Heaven
Oh-  thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Oh- once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Ya- nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way
Chorus
I've bin waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Ya- I'll be standin' there by you

It's Only Love (w/Tina Turner)
When the feelin' is ended
There ain't no use pretendin'
Don't ya worry- it's only love
When your world has been shattered
Ain't nothin' else matters
It ain't over- it's only love
And that's all- ya
When your heart has been broken
Hard words have been spoken
It ain't easy- but it's only love
And if your life ain't worth livin'
And you're ready to give in
Just remember- that it's only love
You can live without the aggravation
Ya gotta wanna win- ya gotta wanna win
You keep lookin' back in desperation
Over and over and over again
When your world is shattered
Ain't nothin' else matters
It ain't over- it's only love
If your life ain't worth livin'
And you're ready to give in
Just remember- that it's only love
Ya- that's all
Ya it ain't easy baby
But it's only love- and that's all

Kids Wanna Rock
Turned on the radio
Sounded like a disco
Musta turned the dial for a couple of miles
But I couldn't find no rock'n roll
This computerized crap ain't gettin' me off
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock 
London to L.A.
Talkin' 'bout the New Wave
For a couple of bucks you get a weird haircut
And waste your life away
Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
Get me my D.J.
I got somethin' he's gotta play
Wanna hear it I can't wait
So turn it up turn it up...
Kick down the barricades
Listen what the kids say
From time to time people change their minds
But the music is here to stay
I've seen it all from the bottom to the top
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock

One Night Love Affair
You're the silent type
And you caught my eye
But I never thought that I'd be touchin' you
How was I to know
I'd let my feelin's go
And that I'd be yours before the night was through
One night love affair
Tryin' to make like we don't care
We were both reachin' out for somethin'
One night love affair
Pretendin' it ain't there
Oh- and now we're left with nothin'
When the mornin' breaks
We go our separate ways
If the night was made for love it ain't for keeps
But I lose control
As I watch you go
All my senses say I'm in this much too deep
Now you're outa reach. 
One night love affair
Tryin' to make like we don't care
We were both reachin' out for somethin'
One night love affair
Pretendin' it ain't there
Oh- and now we're left with nothin'
Solo
One night love affair
Tryin' to make like we don't care,
We were both reachin' out for somethin'
One night love affair
Sometimes life ain't fair
Oh- and now we're left with nothin'

Run to You
She says her love for me could never die
But that'd change if she ever found out about you and I
Oh- but her love is cold
It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know, 'cause...
When it gets too much
I need to feel your touch
I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night
I'm gonna run to you
She's got a heart of gold she'd never let me down
But you're the one that always turns me on
You keep me comin' 'round
I know her love is true
But it's so damn easy makin' love to you
I got my mind made up
I need to feel your touch
I'm gonna run to you
Ya- I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna stay all night
I'm gonna run to you
Ya- I'm gonna run to you
Cause when the feeling's right I'm gonna run all night
I'm gonna run to you

Somebody
I bin lookin' for someone
Between the fire and the flame
We're all lookin' for somethin'
To ease the pain. 
Now who can you turn to
When it's all black and white
And the winners are losers
You see it every night
I need somebody
Somebody like you.
Everybody needs somebody
I need somebody
Hey what about you
Everybody needs somebody
When you're out on the front line
And you're watchin' them fall
It doesn't take long to realize
It ain't worth fightin' for
I thought I saw the Madonna
When you walked in the room
And your eyes were like diamonds
And they cut right through- oh they cut right through
I need somebody
Somebody like you.
Everybody needs somebody
I need somebody
Hey what about you
We all need somebody
Another night another lesson learned
It's the distance keeps us sane
But when the silence leads to sorrow
We'd do it all again- all again
Chorus

Straight from the Heart
I could start dreamin' but it never ends
As long as you're gone we may as well pretend
I've been dreamin'
Straight from the heart
You said it's easy but who's to say
That we'd be able to keep it this way
But it's easier
Comin' straight from the heart
Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's comin' straight from the heart
I'll see you on the street some other time
And all our words would just fall out of line
I was dreamin'
Straight from the heart
Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's comin' straight from the heart
Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make one more start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's comin' straight from the heart

Summer of '69
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far
Oh when I look back now
The summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya- I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complaining
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
Standing on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' could last forever- forever, no
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
Think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standing on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my lfe
Back in the summer of '69
