Bryan Adams

Everything i do

Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into your heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all - I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way

Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you

Ya know it's true

Everything I do all , I do it for you

Have you ever really loved a woman

To really love a woman
To understand her - you gotta know it deep inside
Hear every thought - see every dream
N' give her wings - when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her
that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
she needs somebody to tell her
that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?

To really love a woman
Let her hold you -
til ya know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her - really taste her
Til you can feel her in your blood
N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
she needs somebody to tell her
that you'll always be together
So tell me have you ever really -
really really ever loved a woman?

You got to give her some faith - hold her tight
A little tenderness - gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin' good care of you
Ya really gotta love your woman...

Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman
When you love a woman you tell her
that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
she needs somebody to tell her
that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?

Just tell me have you ever really,
really, really, ever loved a woman? You got to tell me
Just tell me have you ever really,

really, really, ever loved a woman?

Please forgive me

Still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss
It's getting better baby
No one can better this
Still holding on, you're still the one
First time our eyes met
Same feeling I get
Only feels much stronger
Wanna love you longer
You still turn the fire on

So if you're feelin' lonely don't
You're the only one I ever want
I only wanna make it good
So if I love you a little more than I should

Please forgive me I know not what I do
Please forgive me I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me I need you like I do
Please believe me every word I say is true
Please forgive me I can't stop loving you

Still feels like our best times are together
Feels like the first touch
Still getting closer baby
Can't get close enough
Still holding on you're still number one
I remember the smell of your skin
I remember everything
I remember all your moves
I remember you, yeah
I remember the nights, you know i still do

So if you're feeling lonely don't
You're the only one I ever want
I only want to make it good
So if I love you a little more than I should

The one thing I'm sure of, is the way we made love
The one thing I depend on, is for us to stay strong
With every word and every breath I'm prayin', it's why I'm saying
Please forgive me I know not what I do
Please forgive me I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me if I need you like I do
Babe, believe me every word I say is true
Please forgive me if I can't stop lovin' you

Can't stop loving you

Rocksteady

You need a man thatll treat you like the woman you are
Those little boys are just fooling around with your heart
Whatcha gonna do now that youre all alone?
You need a rock not a rollin stone
Yeah so when a boy
Just aint enough
You need a man made of stronger stuff
Get ready
Rock steady all night long

Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you

You need somebody who will help you with your heavy load
Well Ive been there baby
Lord give me a rock and roll
Well I can bend but I wont break
Cause you aint got what I can take
So when youre tired of those little girls
You want a woman thatll rock your world
Get ready

Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you

Amateurs and dilettantes
They cant give you what you really want
When all the other have been untrue
Ill give you something you can hold on to
Rock steady all night long
Rock steady till the light of dawn
Slow and easy tried and true
Rock steady
Just me and you

Tantalize

From the east-side street, kick a tin can beat
Run through the jungle, a lion, a mongrel like you.
Such an easy mark for a hungry shark
Lost in the haze of the big city maze and it's through

Tantalize you, mesmerize you
Trick you with a smile
Capture with the style
A touch of magic sure to make you sigh

Can you still be a sail with this ball and chain
Run through the jungle, a lecher, a scoundrel, it's you
Keep yourself wide-eyed or they'll bleed you dry
Runnin' thru shadows of streets broad and narrow with you

Tantalize you, mesmerize you
Start to lose control
The city takes its toll
Beaten once, twice, shy, beware the law

Do you see (do you see)
At nights (at nights)
Do you see (do you see)
At nights (at nights)

If Wishes Were Horses

Come with me you can wish upon a star
You can do all the things that you've longed to
And you won't have to wonder who you are
You can be anybody you want to
In a land full of promises and kings
All your best laid dreams are for catchin'
You can have the world to tie up on a string
Just close your eyes and imagine

If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
All dreams and desires would ride along side
Worries and troubles would fall off behind
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride

To a land far or near come along
There's an all new-round everyday glow
Like the young girl sang in the song
"Somewhere over the rainbow"

Pushin' & Shovin

I could love her if she were a Rolls Royce
But she handles like a model - T
So get her in high gear, she can't stay here with me

At show time she'll be in the front row
And she'll try to put the make on me
Her friends will all laugh
While their instamatics flash
Will you see me all meanwhile
And she'll push and she'll shove and I'll smile

If you cast a glance in her direction
She's sure to wrap herself around your knees
She's always pushin' and shovin' at me

She can't control herself, it seems she's fallen off a shelf
And I can only say, Why me
And she'll push and she'll shove desperately

I could love her if she were a Rolls Royce
But she handles like a model - T
So get her in high gear, she can't stay here with me

If you cast a glance in her direction
She's sure to wrap herself around your knees
She's always pushin' and shovin' at me

Pushin' and shovin'
Pushin' and shovin'
Pushin' and shovin' me

Until I Find You

I'm feelin' tired, my thoughts are lost without you
But I won't quit, I'll go down with my ship
Until I find you

Good thoughts are like wine, I think I'll bottle and share them
Please take the time, to open your eyes and shine
Until I find you

They can say what they will
But I really believe
Yes I really believe
I'll catch you if I can
I'll catch you if I can
I'll catch you if I can

They can say what they will
But I really believe
Yes I really believe

No. 5243605 Smith

Stone cold cell
Raised from hell
Holdin' me
For first degree
One more morn
For calm, for dawn
You shall see
They'll come for me

I confessed
I've been blessed
All I need is one last request

I'll only get up in the morning
Tearin' down the songs
Hearing the radio
Blarin', darin', dancin' vigorly down the hall
We'll get in the do, I did it
Shoo-bee-doo's and all
Give us the grass around to tumble down
That gobbles our way, rock'n'roll
I wanna get up in the morning
Tearin' down the walls
I've got to face my music
Fore I face my lord

To think this is over
A crazy kind of show
Can't any of you tell me
Is there a better way to go?
Oh no!

5:15
Now's the time
I'll be fine
Here's my music one more time

I'll be here in the early morning
Tearin' down the song
Knockin' the radio
Blarin', darin', dancin' vigorly down the hall
I'll get in the do, did it
Shoo-bee-doo's and all
Watchin' the grass around
A rollin' round to good old passion rock'n'roll
I'll be here in the early morning
Tearin' down these walls

The music played and I must say I really had a ball
And now I guess I gotta go and meet those odd people down the hall

I don't wanna go this way
Though I know I've gotta pay
Would it change things anyway
If I said I'd like to stay?
What da ya say?

Shut Up

May it never be said she's knockin' them dead
But is there a fame, it's such a cryin' shame what they're sayin'
It's more than a game that they're playin'
At the start as we all should know
That she's some kind of sleaze, that's a social disease
Shut up, shut up

Don't tell me that my best friend's a menace
She might wind up in a book written by Guinness
It's all right with me, if she wants to be
As loony as the day she was born
Shut up, shut up

Call her name in the air and she'll soon be there
If you want her to be
Round me a bend and I'm needin' a friend she comes to me

The story book lies, there's stars in her eyes
She's one of a kind and I sure am glad that I met her
I couldn't have found one much better
But there's something we all should know
She's a kind of a gnu that belongs in a zoo
Shut up, shut up

Don't tell me that my best friends like Alice
Who might wind up in a looking-glass palace
It's all right with me, if she wants to be
As naughty as the day she was born
Shut up, shut up

Call her name in the air and she'll soon be there
If you want her to be
Round me a bend and I'm needin' a friend she comes to me

Don't tell me that my best friend's a menace
She might wind up in a book written by Guinness
It's all right with me, if she longs to be
As nutty as the day she was born
Shut up, shut up

Call her name in the air and she'll soon be there
If you want her to be
Round me a bend and I'm needin' a friend she comes to me

Shut up, shut up

Song For A Star

This is a song for a star
If you really are a star
Here is a song for you all
Take a lesson before you fall

We're caught in the middle of everything
It's like trying to figure out which bell to ring
You think you'd made the start of it
But this is just the start of it now

Steppin' in time with your pace
Tho' we've never yet met face to face
This is a song for yourself
In the hopes that we don't do it wrong

We're caught in the middle of everything
Lookin' and turnin' out songs to sing
It could've been the start of it
But this is just the start of it now

You can be a star if you can climb
Just make sure you are in the nick of time

This is a song for a star (song for a star)
This is a song for a star (song for a star)
This is a song for a star
If you really are a star
This to whoever you are
If you really are a star

Say Hello Say Goodbye

The costumes, the scenery that make up the props
The audience that lifts you when you're down
The headaches, the heartaches, the packing, the flops
The sheriff who escorts you out of town

There's no business like show business
There's no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything the traffic will allow
Knowing that you get that happy feeling
When you're taking that extra bow

There's no business like show business
There's no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything the traffic will allow
Knowing that you get that happy feeling
When you're taking that extra bow

Say hello say goodbye
Good to see you're glad to rock and roll you
Say hello say goodbye

You're the ones that really stole the show yeah
Split your spats as you're gone thru the band
It's good to move, to groove to you tonight
Tip your hat, to the boys in the band
Sorry but it's time to end this show yeah

Wastin' Time

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.
I spent too much time for one night
Bein' alone with you.

Should have seen her daddy
'Case he said she had to go.
I spent too much time for one night
Bein' all 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.

Roxy Roller

Moxy from the Roxy might turn some heads tonight
Flashlight dream, peaches and cream delight
Roxy Roller

Fab up job she's got bubble gum on her knees
Down between the seats sometimes she'll toss you her key
Roxy Roller

Daddy the commissioner took far more than his share
So Roxy join the syndicate knowing it wasn't fair

Win Some, Lose Some

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
If we played it right
I'm six blocks over
And you wanna spend a night with me.

Now the hours and the minutes
Just fly away.
You win some and you lose some,
You gotta get it right
Or I'll be saying
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye.

Thinkin' back to
The way you're holdin' me down,
I'd be better off dead.

Now you know
That the time is running out
Of the things we said.

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.

Now the hours and the minutes
Just fly away.
You win some and you lose some,
You gotta get it right
Or I'll be saying
Bye bye bye bye ...

Give Me Your Love

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.
So will you give me your love,
I'll know that you'll be mine.

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

Wait And See

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,
This could be the last time for me.
Now baby, can't you wait and see?
Just you wait and see.
Just you wait and see.
Wait and see.

I've been trapped by your innocence,
Haven't seen you since
You caught me, baby.

Shot down by the one I love,
Now I'm taking off
With the things you taught me.

Wait and see,
This could be the last time for me.
Now baby, can't you wait and see?
Just you wait and see.
Just you wait and see.
Wait and see.

Hidin' From Love

I'm riding in the middle
Halfway into you
And halfway into something else,
I dont'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.
You were hopin' love was somethin' else,
I was hopin' it was you.
You said you'd make it easy, babe,
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.

I know you're tryin',
But you're only hidin' from love.
You say you're shy,
But you're only hidin' from love

Don't Ya Say It

Things you said to me
Sentimentally
Are always on my mind.
Seems you haunted me
But you set me free
Long before you gave me time to escape.

The next time
I'll be on my way
'Cause it's time, it's true
I'm turning my back on you.

Don't ya say it,
Don't say you need me
You don't need me,
Don't even try.

Don't ya say it,
Don't say you want me,
You don't mean it,
Don't say good-bye.

You threw love at me
Indispensab'ly,
But you never could give it away.
And it seems to me
That you'd never be,
That's why I'll never stay with you.

You can't hold me down
'Cause it's my life too,
So this time it's true,
I'm turning my back on you
.
Don't ya say it,
Don't say you want me,
You don't mean it,
Don't even try.

Don't ya say it,
Don't say you need me,
You don't mean it,
Don't say good-bye.

Don't ya say it,
Don't say you need me,
You don't need me,
Don't even try.

Don't ya say it,
Don't say you want me,
You don't mean it,
Don't say good-bye.

State Of Mind

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
Left here in doubt,
Well, we try but we can't get along.

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.

Remember

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
That she broke my heart and left me
Spinnin' round and round and round.

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

Try To See It My Way

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
for all the things
That run around your mind
How can I 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,
Try to see it my way.
Think it over,
Try to see it my way.

Think it over.
Think it over.
Try to see it my way, my way.
Think it over.
Just Try to see it my way.

One Good Reason

I've got one hand on the door,
One hand in my pocket,
The world is on my shoulders,
And I'm tryin' to get to you.
I'm gettin' pretty worried,
Now that Ronnie's in the office,
I shouldn't let it get to me,
There's nothin' I can do.

Think that you should know by now,
You've done the damage now it can't be changed,
So give me one good reason,
One good reason to stay.

Well I knew that you were sleepin'
And I didn't want to wake you,
Cause this troubled look I got,
Might make you change your mind.

There's no need for compensation,
There's no reason to foresake me,
I was looking for the answers,
But there's nothin' here to find.

Lonely Nights

Will you risk your reputation?
I don't know.
You just don't know what you're sayin'
Anymore.

You know beggers can't be chosers,
And that's fair.
When we win we may be losers,
I don't care, no no no.
Baby, I just can't stand another lonely night,
So come over and save me,
Save me from another lonely night.
I hear every word you're sayin'
They're all lies.
But with every breath you're takin'
You're thinkin' of ways to say good night.

You`r still beautiful to me

Turn out the lights and close the door
Put your head on the pillow let me keep ya warm
I wanna run my hands across your face
Ya lyin' beside ya' still the perfect place
We're still goin' strong
So glad that you came along

Ya babe in every way
You're still beautiful to me

Ya babe in every way -

You'll always be so beautiful to me
Ya babe in every way - you're still beautiful to me

THE ONLY THING THAT LOOKS GOOD ON ME IS YOU


I don't look good in no Armani Suits
No Gucci shoes - or designer boots
I've tried the latest lines from A to Z
But there's just one thing that looks good on me

The only thing I want
The only thing I need
The only thing I choose
The only thing that looks good on me...is you

I'm not satisfied with Versace style
Put those patent leather pants - in the circular file
Sometimes I think - I might be lookin' good
But there's only one thing that fits me like it should

The only thing I want
The only thing I need
The only thing I choose
The only thing that looks good on me...is you

Ya it's you - it could only be you
Nobody else will ever do
Ya baby it's you - that I stick to
Ya we stick like glue

The only thing I want
The only thing I need
The only thing I choose
The only thing that looks good on me...is you

I WILL ALWAYS RETURN


I hear the wind call your name
It calls me back home again
It sparks up the fire - a flame that still burns
Oh it's to you I'll always return
I still feel your breath on my skin
I hear your voice deep within
The sound of my lover - a feeling so strong
It's to you - I'll always belong

Now I know it's true
My every road leads to you
And in the hour of darkness darlin'
Your light gets me through

Wanna swim in your river - be warmed by your sun
Bathe in your waters - cos you are the one
I can't stand the distance - I can't dream alone
I can't wait to see you - Ya I'm on my way home

Oh I hear the wind call your name
The sound that leads me home again
It sparks up the fire - a flame that still burns
Oh, it's to you - I will always return

DO I HAVE TO SAY THE WORDS

Rescue me from the mire
Whisper words of desire
Rescue me - darling rescue me
With your arms open wide
Want you here by my side
Come to me - darling rescue me
When this world's closing in
There's no need to pretend
Set me free - darling rescue me

I don't wanna let you go
So I'm standing in your way
I never needed anyone like I'm needing you today

Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to tell the truth?
Do I have to shout it out?
Do I have to say a prayer?
Must I prove to you how good we are together?
Do I have to say the words

Rescue me from despair
Tell me you will be there
Help me please- darlin rescue me

Every dream that we share
Every cross that we bear
Can't you see- darling rescue me

THE BEST OF ME


Sometimes words are hard to find
I'm looking for that perfect line
To let you know you're always on my mind
Ya this is love - n' i've learned enough to know
I'm never lettin' go
No, no, no - won't let go

When you want it - when you need it
You'll always have the best of me
I can't help it - believe it
You'll always get the best of me

I may not always know what's right
But i know i want you here tonight
Gonna make this moment last for all your life
Oh ya this is love - n' it really means so much
I can tell from every touch
No, no, no - can't get enough

When you want it - when you need it
You'll always have the best of me
I can't help it - believe it
You'll always get the best of me

Ya this is love - n' i've learned enough to know
I'm never lettin' go
No, no, no - won't let go
You'll always have the best of me
You'll always get the best of me
You'll always have the best of me
You'll always get the best of me... Oh!

When you want it - when you need it
You'll always have the best of me
I can't help it - believe it
You'll always get the best of me
When you want it - when you need it
You'll always have the best of me
I can't help it - believe it
You'll always get the best of me
