Doin’ It All for My Baby

Early in the morning I’m still in bed
She comes to me with sweet affection
Wakes me with kisses, hello sleepyhead
And she gets me moving in the right direction

I do my best to give her love that lasts forever
It seems that everything I do I’m doing better

Doin’ it all for my baby
Cause’ she’s as fine as she can be
I’m doin’ it all for my baby
For everything she does for me

Then in the evening, its been a busy day
She lays her head upon my weary shoulder
Listen to her laughing, snuggle up and say
Now I’m with you baby, loneliness is over

I do my best to give her love that lasts forever
It seems that everything I do I’m doing better

Givin’ it all for my baby
Cause’ she’s as fine as she can be
I’m doin’ it all for my baby
For everything she does for me

Musical interlude

Doin’ it all for my baby
Cause’ she’s as fine as she can be
I’m doin’ it all for my baby
For everything she does for me

Doin’ it x8
Doin’ it x6
Yeah

Doin’ it all for my baby (repeat to fade)


Drive

Who’s gonna tell you when,
It’s too late,
Who’s gonna tell you things,
Aren’t so great.

You can’t go on,
Thinking nothings wrong,
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?

Who’s gonna pick you up,
When you fall?
Who’s gonna hang it up,
When you call?

Who’s gonna pay attention,
To your dreams?
Who’s gonna plug their ears,
When you scream?

You cant go on,
Thinking nothings wrong,
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?

Who’s gonna hold you down,
When you shake?
Who’s gonna come around,
When you break?

You cant go on,
Thinking nothings wrong,
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?

You cant go on,
Thinking nothings wrong,
Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?


Some Guys Have All The Luck

Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain

Alone in a crowd on a bus after work
And I’m dreaming
The guy next to me has a girl in his arms
My arms are empty

How does it feel when the girl next to you
Says she loves you
It seems so unfair when there’s love everywhere
But there’s none for me

Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain

Someone to take on a walk by the lake
Lord, let it be me
Someone who’s shy, someone who’ll cry
At sad movies

I know I would die if I ever found out
She was fooling me
You’re just a dream and as real as it seems
I ain’t that lucky

Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain

All of my friends have a ring on their finger
They’ve someone
Someone to care for them, it ain’t fair
I got no one

The car overheated, I called out and pleaded
There’s help on the way
I called you collect, you didn’t accept
Had nothing to say

Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys do nothing but complain

But if you were here with me
I’d feel so happy I could cry
You are so dear to me
I just can’t let you say goodbye


Melody

Put on the TV, I’ve got the wine
Lay yourself next to me, lets both unwind
Take your time, we’ve got all night
I’ll play this song, everythings alright

It’s a melody
A melody for two
Simple melody
A melody for me and you

Don’t know my majors from my minors
Try to make you laugh with one-liners
Move in close, let the night time drift away
Lets lay here and wait for this brand new day

It’s a melody
A melody for two
Simple melody
A melody for me and you

When I saw your you face
I just knew it had to be
You for me
This is strange for me
It’s a fantasy

It’s a melody
A melody for two
Simple melody
A melody for me and you

Turn the lights down low
Let me touch your face
Let our minds come together
Drift to another place

Forget tonight we’ve got eternity
Let the music play girl
On this simple melody

It’s a melody
A melody for two
Our melody
A melody for me and you

Our melody
No-one elses


Do You Believe In Love

I was walkin’ down a one way street
Just a lookin’ for someone to meet
One woman who is looking for a man
Now I’m hopin’ that the feeling is right
And I’m wonderin’ if you’ll stay for the night
So I’m coming
(I don’t wanna be lonely baby please tell me)
I wanna love you all over

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe it’s true?
Do you believe in love?
Cos you’re making me believe it too

Now the feeling is beginning to grow
And the meaning is something you only know
If you believe it take my hand and I’ll take your heart
Come on
Now I wonder where does true love begin
I’m going under so I’m letting you in
My woman
(I don’t wanna be lonely baby please tell me)
I wanna love you all over

Do you believe in love?
I believe in love?
Do you believe it’s true?
I believe it’s true?
Do you believe in love?
Cos you’re making me believe it too

(I used to have you in a photograph)
I’m so glad it’s changed
(But now I’ve got you and it’s gonna last)
Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in love?
Yes I believe in love?
Do you believe it’s true?
Yes I believe it’s true?
Do you believe in love?
Cos you’re making me believe it too

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe it’s true?
Do you believe in love?
Yes I believe it’s true?
Do you believe in love?
Yes I believe it’s true?


Stand By Me

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No I won’t be afraid, no I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin’, darlin’, stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, no no no I won’t cry, I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, you stand by me

So darlin’, darlin’, stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

So darlin’, darlin’, stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you’re in trouble won’t you stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

So darlin’, darlin’, stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me


Higher and Higher

You know your love is lifting me higher
Than I ever been lifted before.
Oh keep it up,
Quench my desire,
I’ll be at your side forever more.

You know your love keeps on lifting
Lifting me higher and higher.
I said your love keeps on lifting
Lifting me higher and higher.

Now once I was down-hearted,
Disappointment it was my closest friend.
But then you came,
And he soon departed.
And he never
Showed his face again!

You know your love keeps on lifting
Lifting me higher and higher.
I said your love keeps on lifting
Lifting me higher and higher.

So glad I finally found you,
You’re that one in a million girl,
And with these lovin’ arms around you,
I can stand and face the world.

You know your love keeps on lifting
Lifting me higher and higher.
I said your love keeps on lifting
Lifting me higher and higher.

You know your love keeps on lifting
Lifting me higher and higher.
I said your love keeps on lifting
Lifting me higher and higher.


To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before

To all the girls I’ve loved before
Who travelled in and out my door
I’m glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the girls I’ve loved before

To all the girls I’ve once caressed
And may I say I’ve held the best
For helping me to grow
I owe a lot I know
To all the girls I’ve loved before

The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I tried to stay
The winds of change continued blowing
And they just carried me away

To all the girls who shared my life
Who now are someone else’s wife
I’m glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the girls I’ve loved before

To all the girls who cared for me
Who filled my nights with ecstasy
They live within my heart
I’ll always be a part
Of all the girls I’ve loved before

The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I tried to stay
The winds of change continued blowing
And they just carried me away

To all the girls we’ve loved before
Who travelled in and out our doors
We’re glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the girls we’ve loved before

To all the girls we’ve loved before
Who travelled in and out our doors
We’re glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the girls we’ve loved before

To all the girls we’ve loved before
Who travelled in and out our doors
We’re glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the girls we’ve loved before.


Lost In The Fifties Tonight

Close your eyes baby, follow my heart
Call on the memories here in the dark
We’ll let the magic take us away
Back to the feeling we shared when they’d play

In the still of the night, hold me darling
Hold me tight,
Oh, shoo-doop, shoo-be doshoo-doop,
Shoo-doop, doo; so real, so right
Lost in the fifties tonight

These precious hours, we know we can’t survive
But love’s all that matters while the past is alive
Now and for always, till time disappears
We’ll hold each other whenever we hear

In the still of the night, hold me darling
Hold me tight,
Oh, shoo-doop, shoo-be doshoo-doop,
Shoo-doop, doo; so real, so right
Lost in the fifties tonight

Shoo-doop, shoo-be doshoo-doop,
Shoo-doop, doo; so real, so right
Shoo-doop, shoo-be doshoo-doop,
Shoo-doop, doo; so real, so right


Sometimes When We Touch

You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply
I’d rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do
I’m only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty’s too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all its strategy leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity some tenderness survives
I’m just another writer, still trapped within my truths
A hesitant prizefighter still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty’s too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

At times I’d like to break you and drive you to your knees
At times I’d like to break through and hold you endlessly
At times I understand you and I know how hard you’ve tried
I’ve watched while love commands you
and I’ve watched love pass you by
At times I think we’re drifters, still searching for a friend,
A brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty’s too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides


Wind Beneath My Wings

It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine
You always walked a step behind

I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strain
Only a face without a name
I never once heard you complain

Did you ever know that you’re my hero
You’re everything I would want to be
But I can fly higher than an eagle
Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

It may have appeared to go unnoticed
But I got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth
I would be nothing without you

Did you ever know that you’re my hero
You’re everything I would want to be
But I can fly higher than an eagle
Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

Did you ever know that you’re my hero
You’re everything I would want to be
But I can fly higher than an eagle
Cos you are the wind beneath my wings

You are the wind beneath my wings


Stranger In My House

There’s a silence here between us
I’ve never heard before
And I can’t find the love
In her eyes anymore
There’s some changes going on
I’m beginning to understand
When I’m holding her
I swear I feel the presence of another man

There’s a stranger in my house
Somebody here that I can’t see
Stranger in my house
Somebody here trying to take her away from me

She sits staring out the window
A million miles away
And when I ask if she’s all right
She never has too much to say
Is it somebody we both know
Or somebody she just met
Is she loving him in her mind
While she’s lying here in my bed

There’s a stranger in my house
Somebody here that I can’t see
Stranger in my house
Somebody here trying to take her away from me

Suspicions lead to questions
And questions to alibis
Is it just my imagination
Or has her love turned into lies

There’s a stranger in my house
Somebody here that I can’t see
Stranger in my house
Somebody here trying to take her away
Stranger in my house
Somebody here that I can’t see
Stranger in my house


The Greatest Love

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be

Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyones shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believed
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity

Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyones shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believed
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity

Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

And if by chance, that special place
That you’ve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Just find your strength in love
