Too many tears

(Coverdale/Vandenberg)

I used to be the man for you,
Did everything you wanted me to,
So, tell me, baby,
What did I do wrong...

I told you what you wanted to know,
Precious secrets never spoken before.
All I'm asking,
Where did I go wrong...

Some things are better left unsaid,
But, all I do is cry instead,
Now, I've cried me a river,
Thinking how it used to be...

There've been too many tears falling,
And there've been too many hearts
Breaking in two.
Remember what we had together,
Believing it would last forever.
So, tell me, baby,
Where did I go wrong...

Everything I had was yours,
More than I have ever given before,
So, won't you tell me
Did I hurt you so bad...

I guess I'm fooling myself,
'Cause I want you and no one else.
And I can't understand
Why you're doing these things to me...

There've been too many tears falling,
And there've been too many hearts
Breaking in two...
Remember what we had together,
Believing it would last forever.
So, tell me, baby,
Where did I go wrong, where did I go wrong...

Now my heart is breaking,
My whole world is shaking,
'Cause I can't understand
Why you're doing these things to me...

There've been too many tears falling,
And there've been too many hearts
Breaking in two...
Remember what we had together,
Believing it would last forever...
So, tell me, baby,

Where did I go wrong...

Trouble

I was raised a gambler's son
And before I could walk,
I had to learn how to run.
And I never, never ever
Played a loaded dice.
But, I rolled a lot of women
With a heart as cold as ice.

On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Always coming my way,
Trouble always coming my way.

Baby I'm lonely, I'm out of control,
I need someone to understand
The badness in my soul.
Though I never, I never
Stole another man's wife
But, I fooled around plenty enough
And I got what I paid for.

On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Trouble always coming my way.

Trouble.

(Solo)

On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Trouble always coming my way.

Trouble always coming my way, trouble always coming...

Victim of love

(Coverdale)

I'm down on love
An' I don't give a damn,
I take my chances
Whenever I can
Like a lamb to the slaughter,
Another sacrifice,
For giving love to woman
With a heart stone cold as ice

I'm down on love
An' I'm clean out of pain,
I ain't no stranger
To the crying game
Too scared to suffer,
An' too blind to see,
But, I played with fire
An' I got what was coming to me

Now, one more heartache
Don't bother me,
Just one more lonely night
To drown in misery

I am a victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love
Victim of love, victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love

I'm down on love
An' I feel like a fool
To beg for mercy
'Cos I broke the rules
So do me no favours
With your cool advice,
I know the losing cost,
An' I'll pay the price

One more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery

I am a victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love

Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love

One more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery

Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love...

Walking in the shadow of the blues

(Coverdale/Marsden)

I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it you can never understand
So many times I thought about it
And now I know just what it means to be a man

Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues

All of my life I've had a strange reputation,
I've been the black sheep of the family all along
I never know if in my heart I'm really guilty
But, I've been accused of never knowing right from wrong

Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues

My father said you're crazy,
He said what you gonna do?
I left with my guitar and said
I'll leave it up to you

I'm gonna live the life I love
And live the life I choose,
And I'm walking in the shadow of the blues

I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it I will tell you once again
All of my life I've been caught up in a crossfire,
'Cos I've been branded with the devil mark of cain

Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues,
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues

Wine, women an' song

(Coverdale/Lord/Marsden/Moody/Murray/Paice)

I ain't an educated man
As all you Fleet Street preachers know,
It's just the simple things in life
Get my motor running, ready to go
If I can make you smile
I will raise my glass,
An' if you don't like it
Then, baby, you can kiss my ass!
You can tell me it's wrong,
But, I love wine, women an' song

Give me a good time woman,
An' a love potion bottle of booze
'Cos I got a juke box heart
Full of honky tonk rhythm an' blues
You better lock up your daughter, your sister too,
If get in my way, I'm gonna rock an' roll over you,
Ain't nothing you can do

You can tell it's wrong,
But I love wine, women an' song
Wine, women an' song, talking 'bout
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song
You get what you can
But, don't take too long
Wine, women an' song,

Give me a rock an' roll band
With a mean an' dirty blues guitar,
Take me to a dance hall palace
With a twenty four hour bar
Then you better lock up your daughter, your sister too,
If you get in my way, I'm gonna rock an' roll over you,
Ain't nothing you can do

You can tell me it's wrong,
But I love wine, women an' song
Wine, women an' song, talking 'bout
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song
You get what you can
But, don't take too long,
Wine, women an' song

Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song
You get what you can
But, don't take too long,
Wine, women an' song

Wine, women an' song

Wings of the storm

(Coverdale/Vandenberg)

On an' on, the road goes on,
An' it'll go on forever,
Time will show if you and I
Will walk that road together
Through fire an' water, ice an' snow,
Heaven above us, an' hell below,
Holding on, trying to walk the line
With sweet temptation running close behind

I'm talking 'bout love
Ooh, love

Like a fire forever burning,
A flaming heart that's yearning, more an' more
A love to keep us warm
On the wings of the storm

Everyday an' every night
I keep hoping it'll be all right,
Trying to leave the past behind,
Still looking for some peace of mind
But, destiny brought us together
An' promised us a time that would last forever
Tho' it's all been said before
It's the kind of love worth fighting for

I'm talking about love
Ooh, love

Like a fire forever burning,
A flaming heart that's yearning, more an' more
A love to keep you warm
On the wings of the storm

On an' on, the road goes on,
An' it'll go on forever,
Time will show if you and I
Will walk that road together

I'm talking about love
Ooh, love

Like a fire forever burning,
A flaming heart that's yearning, more an' more
A love to keep us warm
On the wings of the storm
My love will keep you warm
On the wings of the storm...

Woman trouble blues

(Coverdale/Vandenberg)

The womans name was trouble,
She put the blame on me
I asked her what her game was,
She said "Misery"
I didn't ask no questions,
I did not even pray
When the angel on my shoulder
Said I should walk away

You promised me heaven,
But, you gave me hell,
Cut me down to the bone
With your kiss and tell
Nobody listens to a word I say,
Still I'm gonna curse you, woman,
'Til my dying day

I should have known better
With a girl like you
You shame the devil
With the things you do
I was blind, now I see
A lying woman be the death of me

I got woman trouble blues,
Woman trouble blues

You told me it was meant to be,
But, all you did was put the hurt on me
You made my life a living hell,
And drowned my dreams in the wishing well

I've got woman trouble blues,
Woman trouble blues

There ain't no doubt I'm going down

The womans name was trouble,
She put the blame on me,
I gave her what she wanted
And I got misery
Now I don't take much persuading,
At times I'm easily led,
I'm gonna find myself in a prison cell
Thro' the lying things she said

I'll stand accused on judgement day,
And pray the lord hears what I say
All my life I never learned,
I played with fire and I got burned

Woman trouble blues,
I got woman trouble blues
Woman trouble blues,
Mean ol' woman trouble blues

Would I lie to you

(Coverdale/Marsden/Moody)

Hey girl, if you want me,
Come an' get me
Don't hang around
Or we could spend the night sleeping alone

If you could change your style, for a while,
An' look in my direction,
Tell me do I look the kind of guy
Who takes advantage of a women like you

Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to you
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
Baby, I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to, would I lie to, would I lie to you

Hey girl, if you need
Some love an' affection,
I'll whisper all the sweet, sweet nothings
I know you little girls like to hear
If you would change your mind
We could find a night of satin sheet action,
I promise I won't do anything
Baby, unless you wanted me to

Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to you
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to, would I lie to, should I lie to you

I don't wanna sleep alone tonight,
After all you put me through.
I've spent the whole night searching
For a woman just like you.
Look in my eyes ... tell you lies
Then, baby, it's just because I want you to stay

Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to you.
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
Baby, I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to, would I lie to, would I lie to you...

You 'n' me


(Coverdale/Marsden)

Well it's five in the morning
When will you be home,
I'm tired of waiting here baby
All on my own
All I got for comfort is some cheap red wine
But, the thought of what you're doing gives me no peace of mind

You 'n' me, it's got to be just you 'n' me,
Can't you see, baby
Can't you see what you're doing to me

I know those page three girls
In the playboy books,
Ain't got nothing on you
In the way that you look
But, an eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
When you get home
You better give me some truth

Tell me no lies
When I ask you the questions,
Tell the truth
Your lies ain't gonna make it no more
Tell me no lies,
Baby you're no exception to the rule,
Because I've heard it all before
And babe believe me I never forget

You 'n' me, baby baby
Just you 'n' me,
Can't you see, baby
If you don't stop what you're doing to me
I'm gonna do it to you

Tell me no lies
When I ask you the questions,
Tell the truth
Your lies ain't gonna make it no more
Tell me no lies,
Baby you're no exception to the rule,
Because I've heard it all before
And babe believe me, I never forget

You 'n' me, baby baby
Just you 'n' me,
Can't you see, baby
Can't you see what you're doing to me

You 'n' me, baby baby
Just you 'n' me,
Can't you see, baby
If you don't stop what you're doing to me,
I'm gonna do it to you!

You're gonna break my heart again

(Coverdale/Sykes)

Now I know
I've seen that look
On your face before
When you realised
All the memories
Walked right out the door...

Now it's eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
No more hiding behind the truth
I'm gonna get exactly
What's coming to me

You're gonna break my heart again,
You never let me forget it
You're gonna break my heart again
But, you're gonna live to regret it

Now you say
I took advantage of you
When you never knew the score
But, you should know
We've been this way
One thousand times before

You told me once,
You told me twice
It's down to me, girl
To pay the price
But, this time's the last time
That's for sure...

You're gonna break my heart again,
You never let me forget it
You're gonna break my heart again
But, you're gonna live to regret it
Yes you are

You talk of how our love
Was meant to be
And all the time
You sacrificed for me...

So how could I forget it,
Why should I regret it
'Cos when you told me you loved me
I knew it was lies
So no more crying, no more goodbyes,
'Cos this time's the last time
That's for sure...break my heart...

Now you say
There is no one in the world
Can get the better of you
An' you should know
'Cos you never made it easy
With the pain you put me thru

I told you once
I told you twice
It's down to you, girl
To pay the price
'Cos this time's the last time
That's for sure...

You're gonna break my heart again,
You never let me forget it
You're gonna break my heart again
But, you're gonna live to regret it

I just can't take anymore,
No more, no more, no more...

You're so fine

(Coverdale/Vandenberg)

I want you so bad,
The thought is driving me mad
Like a cat on the prowl,
You come when you want
And not when I call

So sly, so pretty,
I wanna steal all the keys to your city
Tight skirt, skinny leg,
You make a bad dog sit up and beg

You're everything I want,
Everything I need
Come in out of the cold, pretty woman,
Spend the night with me

Oh, you're so fine
Oh, I wanna make your mine all mine,
'Til the end of time,
Baby, you're so fine

You're so hot with body heat,
You cause a fire walking down the street
You got class, you got style,
The girls don't like it,
But, the boys go wild

You're everything I want,
Everything I need
Come in out of the cold, pretty woman,
Spend the night with me

Oh, you're so fine
Oh, I wanna make your mine

Dance little sister,
Spinning on a dime,
Shake a shimmy little twister

I'm gonna make you,
I'm gonna make you mine,
Mine all mine,
You're so fine

I want you so bad,
Just the thought is driving me mad,
I wanna know what you'll do,
Baby, baby, I can't wait
To get my hands on you

You're everything I want,
Everything I need
Come in out of the cold, pretty woman,
Spend the night with me

Oh, you're so fine
Oh, I wanna make your mine
Oh, you're so fine
Oh, I wanna make your mine all mine
You're so fine, you're so fine
You're so fine, you're so fine
You're so fine...

Young Blood

(Coverdale/Marsden)

If you feel the rolling thunder
An' your eyes see lightning strike,
Don't be afraid, just call on me
I'll bring you shelter from the night

When the wind is howling
I'll hold you near,
An' soothe your troubled mind
With a little bit of this,
An' a little bit of that
I'll make you leave all your worries behind

Don't try to hold on to what you got,
'Cos I got what you need
Don't try to hold on, for anyone,
Come on, give it to me

Youngblood, you're hot property, youngblood
Youngblood, you're hot property, youngblood
Youngblood...

When you're burning hot with fever
An' you shake down to your bones,
Don't get yourself into a cold sweat
'Cos it's just your bad blood throwing stones
The devil has got your number
An' he wants you hanging on a line,
But, before the night is over, baby
I'm gonna make you mine

Don't try to hold on to what you got,
'Cos I got what you need
Don't try to hold on, for anyone,
Come on, give it to me

Youngblood, you're hot property, youngblood
Youngblood, you're hot property, youngblood
I'm coming to get you

Don't try to hold on to what you got,
'Cos I got what you need
Don't try to hold on, for anyone,
Come on, give it to me

Youngblood, you're hot property, youngblood...

I'm gonna make you mine...

Your precious love

(Coverdale/Vandenberg)

I'm far from home,
And tired of this place,
I miss your good, good love
And your sweet embrace
Can't sleep at night
With you on my mind,
I just wanna run to you, baby,
Leave it all behind

'Cause it seems so long
Since I heard your song,
I'm coming home to you, baby,
Back where I belong

Your precious love,
That's all I need,
Angel spread your wings
And bring it on home to me

Sometimes in my life
I don't know what to do,
Tho' I'm weak for myself
I try to be strong for you.
You're there when I need you,
After all these years,
So I send you this letter, baby,
Written in tears

'Cause it seems so long
Since I heard your song,
I'm coming home to you, baby, baby,
Back where I belong

Your precious love,
That's all I need,
Angel spread your wings
And bring it on home to me

'Cause it seems so long
Since I heard your song,
I'm coming home to you, baby,
Back where I belong

Your precious love,
That's all I need,
Angel spread your wings
And bring it, bring it, bring on home

Your precious love, your precious love,
That's all that I need.
Angel spread your wings and
Bring it, bring it, bring on home
Bring it baby, baby, that's all I want.

Your precious love
Your precious love, that's all I need
Your precious love, your precious love
Your precious love, that's all I need
C'mon bring on home, baby
Won't you bring on home
I need your love...

Fool For Your Loving


I was born under a bad sign,
Left out in the cold
I'm a lonely man who knows
Just what it means to lose control

But, I took all the heartache
And turned it to shame,
Now I'm moving, moving on,
And I ain't taking the blame

Don't come running to me,
I know I've done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
Just makes a hard loving man

So I can say it to you, babe
I'll be a fool for your loving no more,
A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying,
Fool for your loving no more
I'll be a fool for your loving no more

I'm tired of hiding my feelings,
You left me lonely too long
I gave my heart, and you tore it apart,
Oh, baby, you done me wrong

Don't come running to me,
I know I've done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
Just makes a hard loving man

So I can say it to you, babe
I'll be a fool for your loving no more,
A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying,
Fool for your loving no more
I'll be a fool for your loving no more

I'll be a fool for your loving no more, no more, no more

So I can say it to you, babe
I'll be a fool for your loving no more,
A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying,
Fool for your loving no more
A fool for your loving no more

Fool for your loving no more...
