text: Summer of 69
  Straight from the heart
  Its only love
  Cant stop this things we started
  Do I have to say the words?
  This time
  Run to you
  Heaven
  Cuts like a knife
   I do it for you
  Somebody
  Kids wanna rock
  Heat of the night
  Please forgive me
  ---
  SUMMER OF 69
  I got my first real six string
  Bought it at the five and dime
  Played it til my fingers bled
  Was the summer of 69
  Me and some guys from school
  Had a band and we tried real hard
  Jimmy quit and Jody got married
  I shoulda known wed never get far
  But when I look back now
  That summer seemed to last forever
  And if I had the choice
  Ya - Id always wanna be there
  Those were the best days of my life
  Aint no use in complainin
  When you got a job to do
  Spent my evenins down at the drive-in
  And thats when I met you - ya
  Standin on your mamas porch
  You told me that youd wait forever
  Oh and when you held my hand
  I knew that it was now or never
  Those were the best days of my life
  Back in the summer of 69
  Man we were killin time
  We were young and restless
  We needed to unwind
  I guess nothin can last forever - forever, no...
  And now the times are changin
  Look at everything thats come and gone
  Sometimes when I play that old six string
  I think about yan wonder what went wrong
  Standin on your mamas porch
  You told me it would last forever
  Oh the way you held my hand
  I knew that it was now or never
  Those were the best days of my life
  Back in the summer of 69
  STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART
  I could start dreamin but itd never end
  As long as youre gone we may as well pretend
  Ive been dreamin
  Straight from the heart
  You said its easy but whos to say
  That wed be able to keep it this way
  But its easier
  Comin straight from the heart
  Give it to me straight from the heart
  Tell me we can make another start
  You know Ill never go - as long as I know
  Its comin straight from the heart
  Ill see you on the street some other time
  And all our words would just fall outta line
  While were dreamin
  Straight from the heart
  Give it to me straight from the heart
  Tell me we can make one more start
  You know Ill never go - as long as I know
  Its comin straight from the heart
  ITS ONLY LOVE
  When the feelin is ended
  There aint no use pretendin
  Dont ya worry - Its only love
  When your world has been shattered
  Aint nothin else matters
  It aint over - Its only love
  And thats all - yeah
  When your heart has been broken
  Hard words have been spoken
  It aint easy - but its only love
  And your life aint worth livin
  And youre ready to give in
  Just remember - that its only love
  You can live without the aggravation
  Ya gotta wanna win - ya gotta wanna win
  You keep lookin back in desperation
  Over and over and over again
  When your world has been shattered
  Aint nothin else matters
  It aint over - Its only love
  And if your life aint worth livin
  And youre ready to give in
  Just remember - that its only love
  Ya - thats all
  Ya it aint easy baby
  But its only love - and thats all
  CANT STOP THIS THING WE STARTED
  You might stop a hurricane
  Might even stop the drivin rain
  You might have a dozen other guys
  But if you wanna stop me baby - dont even try
  Im goin one way - your way
  Its such a strong way - lets make it our way
  Cant stop this thing we started
  Ya gotta know its right
  Cant stop this course we plotted
  This thing called love we got it
  No place for the broken hearted
  Cant stop this thing we started - no way
  Im goin your way!
  You might stop the world spinnin round
  Might even walk on holy ground
  I aint superman and I cant fly
  But if you wanna stop me baby - dont even try
  Im goin one way - your way
  Its such a strong way - lets make it our way
  Cant stop this thing we started
  Ya gotta know its right
  Cant stop this course we plotted
  This thing called love we got it
  No place for the broken hearted
  Cant stop this thing we started - no way
  Im goin your way!
  Oh - why take it slow

  Theres no need to pretend
  Set me free - darlin rescue me

  I never needed anyone like Im needin you today
  Do I have to say the words?
  Do I have to tell the truth?

  Must I prove to you - how good we are together?

  THIS TIME
  I think about her all the time
  Shes my fantasy
  An image burnin in my mind
  Callin out to me
  While my imaginations runnin wild
  Yeah - things are getting clearer
  This time everything is all right
  No way shes gonna get away
  This time everything is easy
  And day - Im gonna make her mine
  Ive thought of every word Id say
  Give or take a few
  But she turns and slowly walks away
  What am I supposed to do
  Hey - turn up your radio
  Oh - theres somethin I want you to know
  This time everything is all right
  No way shes gonna get away
  This time everything is easy
  And day - Im gonna make her mine
  Well its hard to take cause shes miles away
  And Ive waited a long time
  But the feelins right and darlin one of these nights
  Yeah - Im gonna let you know
  This time everything is all right
  No way shes gonna get away
  This time everything is easy
  And day - Im gonna make her mine
  RUN TO YOU
  She says her love for me could never die
  But thatd change if she ever found out about you and I
  Oh - but her love is cold
  It wouldnt hurt her if she didnt know, cause...
  When it gets too much
  I need to feel your touch
  Im gonna run to you
  Im gonna run to you
  Cause when the feelins right Im gonna run all night
  Im gonna run to you
  Shes got a heart of gold shed never let me down
  But youre the one that always turns me on
  You keep me comin round
  I know her love is true
  But its so damn easy makin love to you
  I got my mind made up
  I need to feel your touch
  Im gonna run to you
  Ya - Im gonna run to you
  Cause when the feelins right Im gonna stay all night
  Im gonna run to you
  Ya - Im gonna run to you
  Oh when the feelins right Im gonna run all night
  Im gonna run to you
  HEAVEN
  Oh - thinkin about all our younger years
  There was only you and me
  We were young and wild and free
  Now nothin can take you away from me
  We bin down that road before
  But thats over now
  You keep me comin back for more
  Baby youre all that I want
  When youre lyin here in my arms
  Im findin it hard to believe
  Were in heaven
  And love is all that I need
  And I found it there in your heart
  It isnt too hard to see
  Were in heaven
  Oh - once in your life you find someone
  Who will turn your world around
  Bring you up when youre feelin down

  Oh theres lots that I could say
  But just hold me now
  Cause our love will light the way
  N baby youre all that I want

  For something to arrive
  For love to come along
  Now our dreams are comin true
  Through the good times and the bad
  Ya - Ill be standin there by you
  CUTS LIKE A KNIFE
  Drivin home this evenin
  Coulda sworn we had it all worked out
  You had this boy believin way beyond a shadow of a doubt
  Then I heard it on the street
  I heard ya might of found somebody new
  Well who is he baby - who is he and tell me what he means to you
  I took it for granted - but how was I to know
  That youd be lettin go
  Now it cuts like a knife - but it feels so right
  It cuts like a knife - but it feels so right
  Theres times Ive bin mistaken
  Theres times Ive thought Ive bin misunderstood
  So wait a minute darlin - cant you see we did the best we could
  This wouldnt be the first time - that things have gone astray
  Now youve thrown it all away
  Now it cuts like a knife - but it feels so right
  It cuts like a knife - but it feels so right
   I DO IT FOR YOU
  Look into my eyes - you will see
  What you mean to me
  Search your heart - search your soul
  And when you find me there youll search no more
  Dont tell me its not worth tryin for
  You cant tell me its not worth dyin for
  You know its true
  Everything I do - I do it for you
  Look into my heart - you will find
  Theres nothin there to hide
  Take me as I am - take my life
  I would give it all - I would sacrifice
  Dont tell me its not worth fightin for
  I cant help it - theres nothin I want more
  Ya know its true
  Everything I do - I do it for you
  Theres no love - like your love
  And no other - could give more love
  Theres nowhere - unless youre there
  All the time - all the way
  Oh - you cant tell me its not worth tryin for
  I cant help it - theres nothin I want more
  I would fight for you - Id lie for you
  Walk the wire for you - ya Id die for you
  Ya know its true
  Everything I do - I do it for you
  SOMEBODY
  I bin lookin for someone
  Between the fire and the flame
  Were all lookin for somethin
  To ease the pain
  Now who can you turn to
  When its all black n white
  And the winners are losers
  You see it every night
  I need somebody
  Somebody like you
  Everybody needs somebody
  I need somebody
  Hey what about you
  Everybody needs somebody
  When youre out on the front line
  And youre watchin them fall
  Doesnt take long to realize
  It aint worth fightin for
  I thought I saw the Madonna
  When you walked in the room
  And your eyes were like diamonds
  And they cut right through - Oh they cut right through
  I need somebody
  Somebody like you
  Everybody needs somebody
  I need somebody
  Hey what about you
  We all need somebody
  Another night another lesson learned
  Its the distance that keeps us sane
  But when the silence leads to sorrow
  We do it all again - all again
  I need somebody
  Somebody like you
  Everybody needs somebody
  I need somebody
  Hey what about you
  Everybody needs somebody
  KIDS WANNA ROCK
  Turned on the radio
  Sounded like a disco
  Musta turned the dial for a couple of miles
  But I couldnt find no rock n roll
  This computerized crap aint gettin me off
  Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock
  London to LA
  Talk about the New Wave
  For a couple of bucks ya get a weird haircut
  And waste your life away
  Around the world or around the block
  Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock
  Get me my DJ
  I got somethin hes gotta play
  Wanna hear it I cant wait
  So turn it up - turn it up...
  Kick down the barricades
  Listen what the kids say
  From time to time people change their minds
  But the music is here to stay
  Ive seen it all from the bottom to the top
  Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock
  Around the world or around the block
  Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock
  Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock
  HEAT OF THE NIGHT
  I was caught in the crossfire of a silent scream
  Where one mans nightmare is another mans dream
  Pull the cover up high - and pray for the mornin light
  Cause youre livin alone - in the heat of the night
  Met a man with a message from the other side
  Couldnt take the pressure - had to leave it behind
  He said its up to you
  You can run or you can fight 
  Better leave it alone - in the heat of the night
  In the heat of the night theyll be comin around
  Therell be lookin for answers theyll be chasin you down
  In the heat of the night
  Had to pay the piper to call the tune
  Said hed be back someday - said hed be back real soon
  Pull the shades down low - youll know when the time is right
  When youre lyin alone in the heat of the night
  PLEASE FORGIVE ME
  Still feels like our first night together
  Feels like the first kiss
  Its gettin better baby
  No one can better this
  Still holdin on, youre still the one
