Bryan Adams lyrics

things you said to me sentimentally
are always on my mind
seems you harboured me but you set me free
long before you gave me time to escape
the next time i'll be on my way
cuz this time it's true
i'm turning my back on you

don't ya say it - don't say you need me
if you don't mean it - don't even try
don't ya say it - don't say you want me
if you don't mean it - don't say goodbye

I can fool myself for a night
Goin' on
Like I don't need you any more.

That's like walking in the dark.
Tel me now
That you'll give me all your love.

Oh, give me your love give me your love
Or nothing at all nothing at all.
Oh, give me your love.

I've been everywhere and here I go again
Looking out for me and
Leaving you behind.

But let me hold you just one time.

I'm riding in the middle
Halfway into you
And halfway into something else,
I don't know what to do.
You said you'd make it easy,
You said you'd take the time,
But you call it off
Before I change my mind.

'Cause you're not decidin'
You're only hidin' from love.
You can't deny it,
You're only hidin' from love.

Well, I've been makin' changes,
But you've been changin' too.

Pardon me,
Have you got the time
To let me say hello.
Couldn't help but see
That you look like a lady I used to know
A long time ago.

Remember the time we spent together.
Remember the days I dreamt forever.
Remember the nights we stayed together.
Whatever I do I still remember.

It's hard to believe
That I held her up
And then she let me down.
Someone's sayin' to me

I know that you're curious,
So don't be serious,
You know there's no cause for alarm.

When you're down - out
Left here in doubt,
All the things that are right will go wrong.

Love is a state of mind,
It's keepin' us both alive,
Sometimes it's hard to find.
Love's in a state of mind.

Wait just a minute,
You know that it's finished,
So don't you go carry it on.

Cause I'm down - out

Ooh ... Try to see it my way.
Ooh ... Try to see it my way.

Well, I know you cover up
From all the things you did
That tied you up.
Just wanna let you know
That I wanna keep you warm
Until the sun warms up the dark.

So move in a little closer,
Then you can think it over,
Just try to see it my way.
Think it over,
Just try to see it my way.

Well, you said you needed time

There you go looking cool,
Writing rules
For your theories of romance.

I know that you doubt me,
But without me
You'd be tearing off your one chance.

Wait and see,
This could be the last time for me.
Baby, just wait and see.

All the times
I came running back
Down the path of the least resistance.

I felt my body
Was just a hobby
For your heart's indifference.

Wait and see,

Could have been a winner,
Should have taken me.
It was so damn cold I shoulda held ya
'Cause you were shakin' me.

Well, I almost had a question,
When she led me home,
I spent too much time for one night
Bein' alone.

She said you're wastin' time,
You're takin' a chance on me.
You're wastin' time,
You're takin' a chance on me.

Should have got the rambler,
Back seat movie for two.

Now you know
That I stood outside your window
Just a little too long.

What you're gonna do
When the hours pass away
And you know that I'm gone.
Well, it may be a week,
It may be a day,
I'm six blocks over
And I don't know what to say to you.

Jokin' 'bout your mama
Went a little too far.
But you caught me
Out with the others
Till the early dawn.

There may be a time

Well I made up my mind
Not gonna let you get away
To think that I'm the lucky guy
I've almost got it made

Cause it's been so long
Since I've felt so strong
About anyone at all
I get so excited
I ain't gonna fight it
I think I might be fallin' in love

So come on - let's get it right
Cause you're the only one
So come on - we ain't got all night
Cause you're the only one

Last night

I shoulda seen it coming
I shoulda seen the signs
Didn't really think that she needs me
Must've 'bin blind

She didn't give me a warning
Said I shouldn't treat you wrong
But when I woke up this mornin'
She was gone gone gone

She said...
Take me back won't ya
Take me back won't ya
I'll change my ways
Take me back won't ya
Take me back won't ya
I'm not the same

I think about her all the time
She's my fantasy
An image burnin' in my mind
Callin' out to me

While my imagination's runnin' wild
Yeah - things are getting clearer

This time everything is alright
No way she's gonna get away
This time everything is easy
Any day - I'm gonna make her mine

I've thought of every word I'd say
Give or take a few
But she turns and slowly walks away

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 say it's easy but who's to say
That we'd be able to keep it this way
But it's easier
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

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

I'd like to see you, thought I'd let you know
I wanna be with you everyday
Cause I've got a feeling that beginning to grow
And there's only one thing I wanna say

I'm ready - to love you
I'm ready - to hold you
I'm ready - I'm ready
Ready as I'm gonna be

She left me a long note when she left me here
Told me that love was hard to find
But baby it's easy and I'll make it clear

If it was up to me
I'd say it's his decision
And maybe you should wait and see
You haven't got a choice
You gotta second guess him
So go ahead

What's it gonna be
Well you need an answer
What's it gonna be
All you get is no reply

If it was up to you
You'd say you need protection
When all you really need is me
Now that's the bottom line
It's your sincere intention
So go ahead

I won't stand bein' broken hearted
I won't be pushed around

The rules were set when we got started
But lately I have found

We've spent too little time and too much heartache
I feel we're losin' ground

And lately I've been hearin'
You won't be needin' me around

Don't leave me lonely
Just wanna be right by your side
Your one and only - tonite

So don't leave me lonely

Another day goes by and still you
wonder what happened
You'd give the world for one more try
But you're too shy to ask him
You don't wanna ask him now
I know your heart will pull you through
If he means that much to you -
you gotta let him know

Let him know that you love him
You gotta let him know

What can I say it's up to you
You gotta make up your own mind

Just a small town girl in the city lights
The best was yet to come
Then lonely days turned to endless nights
The best was yet to come

How were you to know
That you would be the lucky one
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best is yet to come

You can cry yourself to sleep at night
You can't change the things you've done
You had it there then it slipped away
