Against All Odds
How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me, when all I can do is watch you leave
'Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain, and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, well that's all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now, 'cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho
Just take a look at me now

Who Said I Would
I know she knows she wants me, I hear it every day
And I know she knows she needs me, there ain't no other way
But she's got a heart, must be made of stone
'Cos when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone, she says
Who said I would (who said I would)
Now she knows it ain't easy, for a simple boy like me
She filled me full of lovin', oh, baby set me free
But she's got a heart, must be made of stone
'Cos when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone, she says
Who said I would (who said I would), who said I would
Tell me who said I would (who said I would), who said I would
When I'm not the only one, then I'll do fine
And I'll suit her purpose and I'm just her kind
I don't own her and I never could, don't think I do, don't think I should
Who said I would (who said I would), who said I would

She knows she makes me hot, she knows it's her body, not her mind

Don't Lose My Number
There came a night leaving fear behind, shadows are on the ground
And nobody knew where to find him, no evidence was found
I'm never coming back, I heard him cry, and I believe him
He never meant to do anything wrong, it's gonna get worse if he waits too long
chorus:
Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you
Oh now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number
'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh
Searchin' through the day and into the night
They wouldn't stop until they found him
They didn't know him and they didn't understand, nobody asked him why
"Get out of my way", I heard a shout, then a blinding light
All I could see was him running down the street
Out of the shadows and into the night
chorus
Don't give up, keep running, keep hiding
Now don't give up, oh Billy, if you know you're right
Don't give up, 'cos you know that I am on your side
Don't give up, oh Billy
You better, you better, you better run for your life
(Solo)

There came a night leaving fear behind, shadows are on the ground

Do You Remember?
We never talked about it, but I hear the blame was mine
I called you up to say I'm sorry, but I wouldn't wanna waste your time
'Cos I love you, but I can't take anymore
There's a look I can't describe in your eyes
We could try like we've tried before, would you keep on telling me those lies
Do you remember (do you remember), tell me do you remember (do you remember)
There seemed no way to make up, because it seems your mind was set
The way you looked, it told me, that's a look I know I'll never forget
You could've come over to my side, you could've let me know
You could've tried to see the distance between us
But it seemed too far for you to go
Tell me do you remember (do you remember)
Tell me do you remember (do you remember)
Through all of my life, inspite of all the pain
You know people are funny sometimes, 'cos we just can't wait to get hurt again
Tell me do you remember, oh (do you remember)
The feelings we won't recall, are feelings we'll never find
It's taken so long to see, 'cos we never seemed to have the time
There was always something more important to do, more important to say
And "I love you" wasn't one of those things, but now it's too late
Tell me do you remember (now it's over, do you remember, ooh it's over)
Tell me do you remember
(do you remember now it's over, do you remember, ooh it's over) (repeats)
Just tell me now, tell me now, just tell me now, tell me now
Tell me do you remember
Do you, do you, do you, do you, do you remember
Do you remember
Do you remember now it's over, do you remember, ooh it's over
Do you remember now it's over, do you remember, ooh it's over
Do you remember now it's over, do you remember, ooh it's over
Do you remember now it's over, do you remember, ooh it's over

Another Day In Paradise
She calls out to the man on the street, sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep, is there somewhere you can tell me
He walks on, doesn't look back, he pretends he can't hear her
He starts to whistle as he crosses the street, seems embarassed to be there
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you, you and me in paradise
Just think about it
She calls out to the man on the street, he can see she's been crying

Oh, just think twice, it's just another day for you and me in paradise
Oh yes, think twice, it's just another day for you, you and me in paradise
Just think about it, aha, just think about it
Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh Lord, there must be something you can say
You can tell by the lines on her face, you can see that she's been there
Probably they moved on from everyplace, 'cos she didn't fit in there
Oh yes, think twice, it's just another day for you and me in paradise
Oh yes, think twice, it's just another day for you, you and me in paradise
Just think about it, aha, just think about it

Separate Lives (duet with Bridgette Bryant)
You called me from the room in your hotel
All thru romancing with someone that you'd met
And telling me how sorry you were, leavin' so soon
And that you miss me sometimes, when you're alone in your room
Do I feel lonely too?
You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
We can't go on, holding on to time
So for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Well I have all to let you go
And if you lost your love for me, you never let it show, oh no
There was no way to compromise
So now we're living - now we're living - separate lives
Ooh, it's so difficult, love leads to isolation
So you build that wall - you build that wall
Yes you build that wall - oh yes, you build that wall
And you make it stronger - no
You have no right to ask me how I feel - oh no
You have no right to speak to me so kind
Some day I might - I just might - find myself looking in your eyes
But for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Yes for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Oooh, seperate lives

In The Air Tonight
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am
And I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember, don't worry, how could I ever forget
It's the first time and the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me
Because the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
Some stranger to you and me
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air, I can feel it coming in the air
I've been waiting for this moment all my life, my life

You Can't Hurry Love
I need love, love, love, ooh to easy my mind
And I need to find, find someone to call mine, my mama said
chorus:
You can't hurry love, oh you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love, oh you'll just have to wait
Just trust in the good times, no matter how long it takes
But how many heartaches must I stand
Before I find a love to let me live again
'Cos right now the only thing that keeps me hangin' on
Is when I feel my strength, you know it's almost gone, I remember mama said
You can't hurry love, oh you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take
How long must I wait, how much more must I take
Before loneliness will cause my h-heart to break
Now I can't bear to live my life alone
I've grown impatient for a lover to call my own
And when I feel that I, I can't go on
You know I feel my strength, you know it's almost gone, I remember mama said
chorus
Then I'm free
Well now love, love, love don't come easy
I know I'll keep on waiting, anticipating
For that soft voice to talk to me at night
For some tender arms to hold me tight
I keep waiting, ooh, till that day
But it ain't easy, you know it ain't easy, and my mama said

Take Me Home
Take that look of worry, I'm an ordinary man
They don't tell me nothing, so I'm finding out all I can
There's a fire that's been burning right outside my door
I can't see, but I feel it, and it helps to keep me warm

Seems so long I've been waiting, and I still don't know what for
There ain't no point in escaping, no I don't worry anymore
I can't come out to find you, I don't like to go outside
