Real Love lyrics

Darlin’, I know
I’m just another head on your pillow
If only just tonight, girl
Let me hear you lie just a little
Tell me I’m the only man
That you ever really loved
Honey take me back
Deep in my memory
A time when it was all very right
So very nice

Here, darlin’, stands another bandit wantin’ you
In and out your life, they come and they go

It Keeps You Runnin' lyrics

Say, where you gonna go
Girl, where you gonna hide
You go on leavin’ out your heart
And all it’s sayin’ down deep inside
From here I can feel your heartbeat
Oh, you got me all wrong
You ain’t got no worry
You just been lonely too long
I know what it means to hide your heart
From a long time ago
Oh, darlin’

I Stand For You lyrics

No greater power
No greater gift to lose
Then the message unspoken
The silence of the truth
Alone we hide in the shadows
But together we bring on the light

[Chorus:]
One voice is not strong enough
One heart just won't do
In this world I don't count for much
Unless I stand for you

Oh, we are the beginning
Of a sound that might be heard
To the many who lie waiting

You Belong To Me lyrics

Why’d you tell me this
While you look for my reaction
What do you need to know
Don’t you know I’ll always be the one
You don’t have to prove to me you’re beautiful to strangers
I’ve got lovin’ eyes of my own

You belong to me
In this life
Anyone could tell
Any fool can see who you need
I know you all too well

On My Own lyrics

So many times
Said it was forever
Said our love would always be true
Something in my heart always knew
I'd be lying here beside you

On my own
On my own
On my own

So many promises
Never should be spoken
Now I know what loving you cost
Now we're up to talking divorce
And we weren't even married

On my own
Once again
One more time
By myself

No one said it was easy

Minute By Minute lyrics

Hey, don’t worry, I’ve been lied to
I’ve been here many times before
Girl, don’t you worry, I know where I stand
I don’t need this love, I don’t need your hand
I know I could turn, blink, and you’d be gone
Then I must be prepared any time to carry on

But minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on

Yah Mo B There lyrics

Heavenly father watching us all
We take from each other and give nothing at all
Well it's a dog-gone shame
But never too late for change
So if your luck runs low
Just reach out and call his name, his name

[Chorus:]
Yah mo be there (up and over)
Yah mo be there (up and over)
Yah mo be there (up and over)
Yah mo be there (up and over)
Whenever you call

Sweet Freedom lyrics

No more runnin' down the wrong road
Dancin' to a diff'rent drum
Can't you see what's goin' on
Deep inside your heart
Always searchin' for the real thing
Livin' like it's far away
Just leave all the madness in yesterday
You're holdin' the key
When you believe it

[Chorus:]
Shine sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic
You're right where I wanna be

Takin' It To The Streets lyrics

You don’t know me but I’m your brother
I was raised here in this living hell
You don’t know my kind in your world
Fairly soon the time will tell
You, telling me the things you’re gonna do for me
I ain’t blind and I don’t like what I think I see

Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it to the streets
Takin’ it to the streets

I Keep Forgettin' (Everytime You're Near) lyrics

(Jerry Leiber/Mike Stoller/Michael McDonald/Ed Sanford)

[Chorus:]
I keep forgettin' we're not in love anymore
I keep forgettin' things will never be the same again
I keep forgettin' how you made that so clear
I keep forgettin'

Everytime you're near
Everytime I see you smile
Hear your "hello"
Saying you can only stay a while

Hey, I know that it's hard for you

What A Fool Believes lyrics

(Michael McDonald & Kenny Loggins)

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life

She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice

Ain't No Mountain High Enough lyrics

Listen, baby
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no vally low
Ain't no river wide enough, baby

If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry

'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

Remember the day

Take It To The Heart lyrics

I know that you're afraid to love
You've been hurt before
Love broke your heart so you closed the door
Now here I am outside your world,
Wishin' you'd let me in
Give me half a chance to prove you wrong
Baby all your tears have come and gone
Talkin' 'bout a brand new start

Take it to heart, baby believe it
This love is so strong that it won't let you go

No Love To Be Found lyrics

Down here on love's killin' floor
I doubt if we could take much more
Here and now, (we) need to ask ourselves why
We've come this far only to find
The price of happiness
We no longer pay
You gotta really love someone
Words alone are cheap
It's more of what you do
And less of what you say

Baby I don't wanna live
In some prison of promises
Baby look around at all this emptiness

I Gotta Try lyrics

Maybe it's true what they say about it
Maybe we can't make the ends meet
Maybe we'll all have to do without it
Maybe this world's just incomplete

Still we all look for the truth in our lives
Searching from different sides
So hard living in a desperate world
But we all do the best that we can

[Chorus 1:]
Some people see a change
Some will remain the same

No Lookin' Back lyrics

I'm fading out of sight
My wheels are the only sound
Runnin' at the speed of sight
I can't slow down

Out on the open road
Racing to beat the night
No matter where I go
Guess I'll get there all right

So why don't I understand
What's trippin' me up
It used to be a simple thing

[Chorus:]
I can't hold on, I can't return
Time to let go, start to live and learn

Blink Of An Eye lyrics

Child, as I look in your eyes
You know my life seems like a minute
There I find living proof
Of all the wonder life hold in it
In the past I thought I had to learn
Any good that comes from this life we're living
Here and now, let us realize
That this life's gift and it's already been given

[Chorus:]
Someday when you stand in the middle
Like it or not you're gonna look both ways

Open The Door lyrics

We're lost, baby that's ok
We may not always understand
We may not always know the way
We can cry and we can hurt sometimes
But we both know what's important
At the end of the line
It's not always the case that we know just what to do
But when it comes to me and you

[Chorus:]
We've both been here before
So let love open up the door
What love will surely show us

Lost In The Parade lyrics

The sight of her ain't like before
For a lonely heart, you should feel much more
You left behind a time when dreams came true
And in this real and lonely world
We only do what we can do

All night long that telephone rings
You remember how you loved that girl
Now you think it don't mean a thing
It keeps coming back
So you turn away

Well, that's all behind you now
