Everybody's chasing something
Always searching, not arriving
There's no reason to feel guilty
Look around, it's clear to see
Everybody wants the same thing
People tell me, take it slowly
But patience hasn't got me nowhere
All the time, thought I was wrong but
Now I know, it's clear to see
Everybody wants the same thing
Every day's the same
It seems to go on forever
And it's so hard to find
Something to hold on to
You and I've no time for wasting
There'll be no more hesitating
Soon we'll be where we belong now
Nothing's ever out of reach
Everybody wants the same thing

Feeling Good
02:16
|

|
I had been waiting for something for a while
Nothing bringing be happiness
Now you've arrived and the future's looking fine
Things are changing since we've been friends
I get lonely sometimes in the evening
You call me up and you ask how I'm feeling
That's all it takes, then I'm feeling right
You can be sure that this thing is gonna last
And that's a thing you don't often find
When we're together, there's no need to worry 'bout the past
Or the people we've left behind
I'm thinking a whole lot about you
And you should know there is no me without you
We're feeling good - it's about time
It feels good to know someone that really understands
And it makes me so glad to know
You'll be around if I need you anytime
If I need anything at all
I'm only happy when I'm beside you
Here making my day so much brighter
We're feeling good - it's about time

I Have to Make You See
02:37
|
|||
|
I still remember when love was so strong
I never thought I could do you wrong
But I can see now, I've treated you cold
And made you feel so alone
I fail you time and time again
Though I never mean to
And I do what I can
To make it up to you
I'll be good to you baby
I have to make you see
I know you're aching from things that I said
The shame just kills me - it fills my head
But I've been learning and changing my scene
Trying to be the man I should be
I've done you wrong now
And it makes me feel so empty
If you'd let me
We'll make it how it used to be
I'll be good to you baby
I have to make you see
I've tried so hard
I won't believe it's all for nothing
If you'd let me
We'll make it how it used to be
I'll be good to you baby
I have to make you see

I Feel No Pain
03:00
|

You think that you're bringing me down
With the things that you say
But girl, you should know it by now
I can see through your games
Now you've hurt me so many times before
But it don't matter anymore
You don't hurt me now
I feel no pain
You've got a way of pretending
That you really care
But I've heard all about what you say of me
When I'm not there
You slander me everywhere you go
But it don't matter anymore
You don't hurt me now
I feel no pain
And I've wasted so much time
You were never really mine
And I can't count the times you've lied
You were never really mine
I know I'd be happy alone
I can make my own way
And you only keep me around
That you might cause me pain
Won't you spare me your manipulative ways
And hear what I have to say
You don't hurt me now
I feel no pain

Lotta People Talking
02:33
|
|||
|
It's been a little while now
Since we got to talking
And I know, honey
We're really onto something
The first time I saw you
Right away I knew it
So what does it matter
If they don't approve it?
There'll be no-one else
But you and me
Well there's a lotta people talking
'Bout us darling
Can't understand why they want
To keep us from smiling
And this kind of loving
Isn't such a crime now
My folks start a-huffing
I tell them every time now
There'll be no-one else
But you and me
It gets kinda boring
Just the same old story
We've heard too many times before
They think they know better
They don't want us together at all
I spend my days just working
Trying to save some money
Then by the time I get home
All my strength has left me
But now that I've found you
Things are looking better
And soon, pretty darling
We can get together
There'll be no-one else
But you and me

In the Rain
02:43
|
|||
|
Clouds are gathering
Turn my eyes overhead
People scatter
Then there's nobody left
It's a feeling I've known
But how indifferent I'd grown
Now you're here
And it feels like something new
Hear the laughter
Such a wonderful sound
In our raincoats
As it covers the town
Every day that we spend
I begin to understand
When you're near
I can feel, I come alive
I feel the rain upon my face
The alleyways like a maze
Such an unfamiliar place
I feel so happy holding you tight
Nobody else in sight
We could stay a little while
I feel the chill but I really don't mind
Such a thrill to be by your side
Can't remember feeling so fine

Only For You
01:53
|
|||
|
I hear the sound of people hurrying by
Beside my window, I lie
Sunset in my eyes
When we're apart and I'm not holding you near
You know, you've nothing to fear
The love I have is true
It's only for you
You're far away, but still I'm yearning inside
Though you're not with me tonight
What I say is true
It's only for you

We'll Be Together
02:02
|
|||
|
You know I need you, and girl
I've been ready so long
We'll live together, I know
In a place of our own
But waiting round's such a drag
When we're so far apart
It breaks my heart
Maybe we'll be together soon
I try, but sometimes it seems
That it just don't work out
It tears me up when I know
You're beginning to doubt
If it falls through I'll cry
Knowing what could have been
I don't know when
Maybe we'll be together soon

Just a Matter of Time
02:32
|
|||
|
When we sat by the shore together
And you touched my hand
Could it be that you really cared for me?
Was it all in my head?
I had to take my chances
Hoping that you'd understand it
Just a matter of time 'til you're my girl
No, no, it won't be long now
Just a matter of time 'til you're my girl
I was feeling so shy about it
That I could not see
You were feeling the same way I did
What a fool I have been
I can't stop thinking 'bout it
Don't wanna be without it
Just a matter of time 'til you're my girl...
I was waiting for such a long time
To know that it's real
And maybe I'd get the chance to show to you
The way that I feel
I'm through with fantasising
There's no more need for hiding
Just a matter of time 'til you're my girl...

Now That She's Gone
02:21
|
|||
|
Morning wakes me slowly
But I'd rather stay in bed
Memories rushing back now
And they bring me such regret
And only now I see
That she'll always be
The only one for me
Sure, we had our problems
But I loved her just the same
She took away my sweet love
And she left me only pain
And only now I see
That she'll always be
The only one for me
Tell myself I'll be alright
I'll make it on my own
But when she's not here
My hope is gone
But I know she's returning
Baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me
No, no, no, no, no
What am I to do now
That she's left me high and dry
Sitting here just waiting, wondering
Will she change her mind?
And only now I see
That she'll always be
The only one for me

Thinking of You
02:19

The tree by the oceanside
It's growing there for you and I
In the warmth of a summer day
Together we'll go on this way
Another day sitting by my window
Thinking of the places we've seen
You know I'm thinking of you day and night
I wanna be beside you my whole life
Flowers swaying in the breeze
The sun is shining on the glistening sea
Brings a peaceful feeling to my mind
To know you'll be a part of my life
I gotta show you what I feel for you now
The sky above seems to say it somehow
Starshine sending light from afar
I wanna be everywhere that you are
When you're lying here with me
It's the only place I wanna be
Seasons change and memories fade
But our love will never go away
As the sun disappears out of sight
The love we have, let it warm you at night
Starshine sending light from afar
I wanna be everywhere that you are
Flowers swaying in the breeze
The sun is shining on the glistening sea
Brings a peaceful feeling to my mind
To know you'll be a part of my life
In the warmth of a summer day
Together we'll go on this way...

Dreaming
02:23
|
|||
|
When I'm alone and the daylight is fading
Bid farewell to the sun once again
It's dark outside
And there will be peace in my mind
Maybe just for a while
Here in the warmth of the fire that's burning
Curtains drawn and the evening is still
There's nothing on my mind
For tonight I can see
What it is to be free
Here in this place
My thoughts run away
Then I'm dreaming
Surrender my mind
To the promise of night time
And the solitude it brings
Closing my eyes, and the world goes on turning
Pretty soon I'll be drifting away
Half-awake, there's nothing can harm me
I know what it is to be free

Guess I'm Changing
02:13
|
|||
|
I know I should be happy
See what the world brings to me
Still can't say what it is
I'm so afraid of
Seeing all kinds of changes
Friends start to look like strangers
Seems like everything
Is somehow fading
Guess I'm just changing
I could take you far away
There I'd be safe from pain
And love would flow so freely
But I can get so filled with fear
And deep inside I still
Don't know where I should be
I'm trying hard to get with
The people who share my perspective
Someplace I wouldn't need
Go on pretending
Guess I'm just changing
