Boys On The Side lyrics

Every time I look
Into your lovely eyes
I see a love that money
Just can't buy

One look from you
I drift away
I pray that you
Are here to stay

CHORUS:
Anything you want
You got it
Anything you need
you got it
Anything at all
you got it
Baby

Every time I hold you
I begin to understand
Everything about you
Tells me [I'm your best friend]

I live my life
To be with You
No one can do

I may not be your best
But you know good ones
Don't come by the score
If you've got something missing
I'll help you look
You can be sure

And if you want to be alone
Or someone to share a laugh
Whatever you want to do
All you got to do is ask

Thunder
Don't go under the sheets
Lightning
Under a tree
In the rain and snow
I'll be your fireside
Come running to me
When things get out of hand

How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey, this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth

Trudging slowly over wet sand
back to the bench
where your clothes were stolen
this is the coastal town
that forgot to close down
Armageddon - come Armageddon !
Everyday is Like Sunday
everyday is silent and grey
Hide on the promenade
scratch out a postcard
"how I dearly wish I was not here"
In the seaside town
...they forgot to bomb !
Come! Come! Come - nuclear bomb !

Fate is mighty cruel
Where true love is concerned
It seems you give out more
Than you ever have returned
Lately I have tried

To make it on my own
Another nite has passed
Looks like I'm bound to be alone
Bound to be alone

Now solitude is fine
When you really need it
When your soul is dry
Sometimes loneliness can feed it
When you need a lover
You know there's nothin' else will do

My time went so quickly

I went lickety-splickly

out to my old '55

Pulled away slowly

feeling so holy

God knows, I was feeling alive.

And now the sun's coming up

I'm riding with Lady Luck

freeway cars and trucks

Stars beginning to fade

and I lead the parade

Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer

Oh, Lord, that the feeling's getting stronger.

Now six in the morning

Now the parking lot is empty

Everyone's gone someplace

I pick you up and in the trunk I've packed

A cooler and a two-day suitcase

Cause there's a place we like to drive

Way out in the country

Five miles out of the city limit we're singing

And your hand's upon my knee

So we're okay, we're fine

Baby I'm here to stop your crying

Chase all the ghosts from your head

I stood at the door

And watched while you drove away

Driving my car in the rain, in the dark

Well, every dog seems to have her day.

I've been in this, alone so long

And I'm begining to wonder why

I stand in one place a different name -- a different face

No one's gonna see me cry

I need someone to stand by me

Stand by me, just one time.

I hope somebody stands by me

Oh, my life is changing everyday,

In every possible way.

And oh, my dreams, it's never quiet as it seems,

Never quiet as it seems.

I know I've felt like this before, but now I'm feeling it even more,

Because it came from you.

And then I open up and see the person falling here is me,

A different way to be.

Ah, la da ah...

La...

I want more imposible to ignore,

Past the devil's own temptation

Beyond where angels sleep

To the holy invocation

Of a neon city street

I feel your hand

I hold you

Through your eyes I see

My love, wherever I go

I take you with me

Down the road of my desires

To the oceans of my peace

Through the fueling of my fires

Until my yearnings cease

I hear your voice

I know you

In your arms I sleep

My love, wherever I go

I was laughing

Playing in the streets, I was unknowing

I didn't know my fate

Playing

The game of love, but never really showing

I thought that love could wait

I was a young girl and sure to go astray

You walked right into my life and told me love would find a way

To keep on growing, keep on growing

Keep on growing

I was standing

Looking in the face of one who loved me
