You better listen my brother  
'Cause if you do you can hear  
There are voices still callin' from across the years  
And they're cryin' across the ocean  
And they're cryin' across the land  
And they will until we all come to understand  
 
(chorus)  
That none of us are free  
None of us are free  
None of us are free if one of us is chained  
None of us are free  
 
Well there are people in the darkness  
And they just can't see the light  
And if we don't say it's wrong then that says it's right  
We got to feel for each other  
Let our brothers know we're here  
Got to get the message and send it out loud and clear  
 
That none of us are free  
None of us are free  
None of us are free if one of us is chained  
None of us are free  
Well it's the single truth  
We all need to see  
That none of are free if one of us is chained  
None of us are free  
 
Well I swear to you salvation isn't very hard to find  
None of us can find it on our own  
We got to join togetherSpirit, heart and mind  
All the are suffering, knows they're not alone  
 
None of us are free  
None of us are free  
 
If you just look around you  
You're see what I say  
'Cause the world's gettin' smaller each passin' day  
Now it's time to make some changes  
Now it's time all realized  
That the truth is shinin' right before our eyes  
 
'Cause none of us are free  
None of us are free  
None of us are free if one of us is chained  
None of us are free  
 
Well it's the very heart of humanity  
'Cause none of us are free if one of us is chained  
None of us are free  
 
None of us, none of us  
None of us, none of us  
None of us, none of us are free  
 
None of us, none of us  
None of us, none of us  
None of us, none of us are free  
 
None of us are free  
None of us are free  
None of us are free if one of us is chained  
None of us are free  
'Cause it's the very truth  
We all need to see  
That none of us are free if one of us is chained  
None of us are free 25 years and my life is still  
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope  
For a destination  
I realised quickly when I knew I should  
That the world was made for this  
Brotherhood of man  
For whatever that means  
 
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed  
Just to get it all out what's in my head  
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar  
And so I wake in the morning and I step  
Outside and I take deep breath  
And I get real high  
And I scream from the top of my lungs  
What's goin' on  
 
And I sing hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey-yeah-yeah...  
I said hey! what's goin' on  
And I sing hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey-yeah-yeah...  
I said hey! what's goin' on  
 
OOOH, OO! OOH-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO  
OO-OOH-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOOOO  
OOOH! OOO-AAH-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO  
OO-OOH-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOOOO  
 
And I try, oh my god do I try  
I try all the time  
In this institution  
And I pray, oh my god do I pray  
I pray every single day  
For a revolution  
 
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed  
Just to get it all out what's in my head  
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar  
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside  
And I take deep breath  
And I get real high  
And I scream from the top of my lungs  
What's goin' on  
 
And I sing hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey-yeah-yeah...  
I said hey! what's goin' on  
And I sing hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey-yeah-yeah...  
I said hey! what's goin' on  
 
And I sing hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey-yeah-yeah...  
I said hey! what's goin' on  
And I sing hey-yeah-yea-eah, hey-yeah-a-yea-yea-yea...  
I said hey! what's goin' on  
 
OOOH, OO! OOH-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO  
OO-OOH-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOOOO-AHH-HAA

25 years of my life is still  
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope  
For a destination I heard she sang a good song, I heard she had a style.  
And so I came to see her and listen for a while.  
And there she was this young girl, a stranger to my eyes.  
 
Strumming my pain with her fingers,  
singing my life with her words,  
killing me softly with her song,  
killing me softly with her song,  
telling my whole life with her words,  
killing me softly with her song  
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,  
I felt she found my letters and read each one out loud.  
I prayed that she would finish but she just kept right on.  
 
Strumming my pain with her fingers,  
singing my life with her words,  
killing me softly with her song,  
killing me softly with her song,  
telling my whole life with her words,  
killing me softly with her song  
 
She sang as if she knew me in all my dark despair  
and then she looked right through me as if I wasn't there.  
But she just came to singing, singing clear and strong.  
 
Strumming my pain with her fingers,  
singing my life with her words,  
killing me softly with her song,  
killing me softly with her song,  
telling my whole life with her words,  
killing me softly with her song You can do what you want just seize the day  
What you're doing tomorrow's gonna come your way  
Don't you ever consider givin' up, you will find, oooh  
 
It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo  
It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo  
It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo  
I just wanna be here beside you  
And stay until the break of dawn  
 
Take a walk in the park when you feel down  
There's so many things there  
that's gonna lift you up  
See the nature in bloom a laughing child  
Such a dream, oooh  
 
It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo  
It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo  
It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo  
I just wanna be here beside you  
I just wanna be here beside you  
and stay until the break of dawn  
 
You're looking for somewhere to belong  
You're standing all alone  
for someone to guide you on your way  
Now and Forever  
 
It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo  
It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo  
It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo  
I just wanna be anybody  
 
Living in different ways  
It's a beautiful life  
I'm gonna take you to a place I've never been  
before oh yeah  
It's a beautiful life  
I'm gonna take you in my arms and fly away  
with you tonight  
 
It's a beautiful life, oooh  
It's a beautiful life, oooh  
 
It's a beautiful life, oooh  
It's a beautiful life, oooh  
It's a beautiful life, oooh  
It's a beautiful life I kept the right ones out  
And let the wrong ones in  
Had an angel of mercy  
To see me through all my sins  
There were times in my life  
When I was goin' insane  
Tryin' to walk through  
The pain  
 
When I lost my grip  
And I hit the floor  
Yeah, I thought I could leave  
But couldn't get out the door  
I was so sick and tired  
Of a-livin' a lie  
I was wishin' that I  
Would die  
 
Chorus:  
It's amazing  
With the blink of an eye  
You finally see the light  
It's amazing  
When the moment arrives  
That you know you'll be alright  
Yeah, it's amazing  
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight  
 
That one last shot's a permanent vacation  
And how high can you fly with broken wings?  
Life's a journey, not a destination  
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings  
 
You have to learn to crawl  
Before you learn to walk  
But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk  
I was out on the street  
Just a-tryin' to survive  
Scratchin' to stay  
Alive  
 
Chorus  
 
Desperate hearts  
Desperate hearts  
Did you wanna see without and give it out now  
Oh oh  
Yeah yeah  
Oh yeah yeah ya-ka-kow, ya-ka-ka-ka-kow  
 
Oh, it's amazing Come Here baby  
You know you drive me up a wall the way you make good on all the nasty tricks you pull  
Seems like we're makin' up more than we're makin' love  
And it always seems you got somn' on your mind other than me  
Girl, you got to change your crazy ways  
You hear me  
 
Say you're leavin' on a seven thirty train and that you're headin' out to Hollywood  
Girl you been givin' me that line so many times it kinda gets like feelin' bad looks good  
 
That kinda lovin'  
Turns a man to a slave  
That kinda lovin'  
Sends a man right to his grave.  
 
Chorus:  
I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy  
You turn it on  
Then you're gone  
Yeah you drive me  
Crazy, crazy, crazy, for you baby  
What can I do, honey  
I feel like the color blue.  
 
You're packin' up your stuff and talkin' like it's tough and tryin' to tell me that it's time to go  
But I know you ain't wearin' nothin' underneath that overcoat  
And it's all a show  
 
That kind of lovin'  
Makes me wanna pull  
Down the shade, yeah  
That kind of lovin'  
Yeah now I'm never, never, never, never gonna be the same  
Chorus  
 
I'm losin' my mind, girl  
Cause I'm goin' crazy  
 
I need your love, honey  
I need your love  
 
Crazy, crazy, crazy, I go crazy  
You turn it on  
Then you're gone  
Yeah you drive me  
Crazy, crazy, crazy, for you baby  
I'm losin' my mind, girl  
ÔCause I'm goin' crazy  
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby

(don't Stop, Don't Stop, Doin' It, Doin' It)  
Yeah Yeah Heya  
Ooh, Don't Stop Doin' It Baby We skipped the light Fandango  
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor  
I was feeling kind of seasick  
But the crowd called out for more  
The room was humming harder  
As the ceiling flew away  
When we called out for another drink  
The waiter brought a tray  
 
And so it was later  
As the Miller told his tale  
And then a face at first just ghostly  
Turned a whiter shade of pale  
 
She said there is no reason  
And the truth is plain to see  
But I wandered through my playing cards  
And would not let her be  
One of sixteen vestal virgins  
Who were leaving for the coast  
And although my eyes were open  
They might just as well've been closed  
 
And so it was later  
As the Miller told his tale  
And then a face at first just ghostly  
Turned a whiter shade of pale  
 
And so it was later  
As the Miller told his tale  
And then a face at first just ghostly  
Turned a whiter shade of pale  
We skipped the light Fandango  
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor  
I was feeling kind of seasick  
But the crowd called out for more  
The room was humming harder  
As the ceiling flew away  
When we called out for another drink  
The waiter brought a tray  
 
And so it was later

And then a face at first just ghostly  
Turned a whiter shade of pale  
 
She said there is no reason  
And the truth is plain to see  
But I wandered through my playing cards  
And would not let her be  
One of sixteen vestal virgins  
Who were leaving for the coast  
And although my eyes were open  
They might just as well've been closed  
 
And so it was later  
As the Miller told his tale  
And then a face at first just ghostly  
Turned a whiter shade of pale  
 
And so it was later  
As the Miller told his tale  
And then a face at first just ghostly  
Turned a whiter shade of pale You're just too good to be true  
Can't take my eyes off of you  
You'd be like heaven to touch  
I wanna hold you so much  
At long last love has arrived  
And I thank God I'm alive  
You're just too good to be true  
Can't take my eyes off of you  
 
Pardon the way that I stare  
There's nothing else to compare  
The sight of you leaves me weak  
There are no words left to speak  
But if you feel like I feel  
Please let me know that it's real  
You're just too good to be true  
Can't take my eyes off of you  
 
I need you baby, if it's quite all right  
I love you baby, you warm a lonely night  
I love you baby, trust in me when I say, it's OK  
Oh pretty baby, don't let me down I pray  
Oh pretty baby, now that I found you, stay  
And let me love you, oh baby let me love you.  
 
You're just too good to be true  
Can't take my eyes off of you  
You'd be like heaven to touch  
I wanna hold you so much  
At long last love has arrived  
And I thank God I'm alive  
You're just too good to be true  
Can't take my eyes off of you  
 
I need you baby, and if it's quite all right  
I love you baby, you warm a lonely night  
I love you baby, trust in me when I say, it's OK  
Oh pretty baby, don't let me down I pray  
Oh pretty baby, now that I found you, stay  
And let me love you, oh baby let me love you. When the night has come  
And the land is dark  
And the moon is the only light we'll see  
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid  
Just as long as you stand, stand by me  
 
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me  
Stand by me, stand by me  
 
If the sky that we look upon  
Should tumble and fall  
And the mountains should crumble to the sea  
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear  
Just as long as you stand, stand by me  
 
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me  
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me, yeah  
 
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me  
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me  
 
Darlin', darlin', stand by me, stand by me  
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me She sits in her corner  
Singing herself to sleep  
Wrapped in all of the promises  
That no one seems to keep  
She no longer cries to herself  
No tears left to wash away  
Just diaries of empty pages  
Feelings gone astray  
But she will sing...  
 
(CHORUS: Ben & Anastacia)  
 
Til everything burns  
While everyone screams  
Burning their lies  
Burning my dreams  
All of this hate  
And all of this pain  
I'll burn it all down  
As my anger reigns  
Til everything burns  
Ooh, oh  
 
(VERSE 2: Ben Moody)  
 
Walking through life unnoticed  
Knowing that no one cares  
Too consumed in their masquerade  
No one sees her there  
And still she sings...  
 
(CHORUS: Ben & Anastacia)  
 
Til everything burns  
While everyone screams  
Burning their lies  
Burning my dreams  
All of this hate  
And all of this pain  
I'll burn it all down  
As my anger reigns  
 
Til everything burns  
Everything burns  
(Everything burns)  
Everything burns  
Watching it all fade away  
(All fade away)  
Everyone screams  
Everyone screams  
(Watching it all fade away)  
Oooh, ooh  
(While everyone screams)  
Burning down lies  
Burning my dreams  
(All of this hate)  
And all of this pain  
I'll burn it all down  
As my anger reigns  
Til everything burns  
(Everything burns)  
Watching it all fade away  
(Oooh, ooh)  
(Everything burns)  
Watching it all fade away VERSE 1:  
Listen  
To the song here in my heart  
A melody I start but can't complete  
Listen  
To the sound from deep within  
It's only beginning to find release  
Oh, the time has come  
For my dreams to be heard  
They will not be pushed aside and turned  
Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen  
 
CHORUS:  
Listen  
I am alone at a crossroad  
I'm not at home in my own home  
And I've tried and tried  
To say what's on my mind  
You should have known  
 
Oh, now I'm done believing you  
You don't know what I'm feeling  
I'm more than what you made of me  
I've followed the voice you gave to me  
But now I've got to find my own  
 
VERSE 2:  
You should have listened  
There is someone here inside  
Someone I thought had died so long ago  
Oh, I'm screamin out  
And my dreams will be heard  
They will not be pushed aside or worse  
Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen  
 
CHORUS:  
Listen  
I am alone at a crossroad  
I'm not at home in my own home  
And I've tried and tried  
To say what's on my mind  
You should have known  
 
Oh, now I'm done believing you  
You don't know what I'm feeling  
I'm more than what you made of me  
I've followed the voice you gave to me  
But now I've got to find my own  
 
BRIDGE:  
I don't know where I belong  
But I'll be moving on  
If you don't, if you won't  
Listen  
To the song here in my heart  
A melody I start but I will complete  
 
2nd part of CHORUS:  
Oh, now I'm done believing you  
You don't know what I'm feeling  
I'm more than what you made of me  
I've followed the voice you think you gave to me  
But now I've got to find my own, my own  
 
Listen  
To the song here in my heart  
A melody I start but can't complete  
Listen  
To the sound from deep within  
It's only beginning to find release  
Oh, the time has come  
For my dreams to be heard  
They will not be pushed aside and turned  
Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen  
 
CHORUS:  
Listen  
I am alone at a crossroad  
I'm not at home in my own home  
And I've tried and tried  
To say what's on my mind

I've followed the voice you think you gave to me  
But now I've got to find my own, my own I met him in a crowded room  
Where people go to drink away their gloom  
He sat me down and so began  
The story of a charmless man  
 
Educated the expensive way  
He knows his claret from his beaujolais  
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray  
But then nature didn't make him that way  
He went..  
 
He thinks his educated airs  
Those family shares  
Will protect him  
That we'll respect him  
He moves in circles of friends  
Who just pretend  
That they like him  
He does the same to them  
And when you put it all together  
There's the model of a charmless man  
 
He knows the swingers at the cabaret  
Says he can get in anywhere for free  
I began to go a little cross-eyed  
And from this charmless man I just had to hide  
 
He talks at speed  
He gets nose bleeds  
He doesn't see  
His days are tumbling  
Down upon him  
And yet he tries so hard to please  
He's just so keen  
For you to listen  
But no-one's listening  
And when you put it all together  
There's the model of a charmless man  
 
He thinks his educated airs  
Those family shares  
Will protect him  
That you'll respect him  
And yet he tries so hard to please  
He's just so keen  
For you to listen  
But no-one's listening  
And when you put it all together  
There's the model of a charmless man So the story begins  
City dweller  
Successful fella  
Thought to himself:  
"Oops, I've got a lot of money  
Caught in a rat race  
Terminally  
I'm a professional cynic  
But my heart's not in it  
I'm paying the price of living life at the limit  
Caught up in the century's anxiety"  
Yes, it preys on him  
He's getting thin  
(Try the simple life)  
 
He lives in a house  
A very big house  
In the country  
Watching afternoon repeats  
And the food he eats  
In the country  
He takes all manner of pills  
And piles up analyst bills  
In the country  
Oh, it's like an animal farm  
That's the rural charm  
In the country  
 
He's got morning glory and life's a different story  
Everything's going Jackanory  
Touched with his own mortality  
He's reading Balzac, knocking back Prozac  
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland  
Oh, it's a century's remedy  
For the faint at heart  
A new start  
(Try the simple life)  
 
He lives in a house  
A very big house  
In the country  
He's got a fog in his chest  
So he needs a lot of rest  
In the country  
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh  
Takes herbal baths  
In the country  
You should come to no harm  
On the animal farm  
In the country  
 
In the country (Ah ah ah)  
In the country (Ah ah ah)  
In the country!  
 
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why)

Na na na na! Mama, take this badge off of me  
I can't use it anymore.  
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see  
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.  
 
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door  
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door  
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door  
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door  
 
Mama, put my guns in the ground  
I can't shoot them anymore.  
That long black cloud is comin' down  
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.  
 
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door  
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door  
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door  
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door  
 
Mama take this badge off of me  
I can't use it any-more  
It's getting dark, too dark for me to see  
I feel I'm knockin on heaven's door  
 
CHORUS:  
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door  
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door  
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door  
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door  
 
Mama put my guns in the ground  
I can't shoot them any-more  
That long black cloud is comin' down  
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door This Romeo is bleeding but you can't see his blood  
It's nothing but some feelings  
That this old dog kicked up.  
It's been raining since you left me  
Now I'm drowning in the flood  
You see, I've always been a fighter  
But without you I give up.  
Now I can't sing a love song  
Like the way it's meant to be  
Well I guess I'm not that good anymore  
But baby, that's just me.  
 
And I will love you, Baby, .. Always  
And I'll be there forever and a day, .. Always  
I'll be there till the stars don't shine  
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme  
I know when I die you'll be on my mind  
And I'll love you, .. Always.  
 
Now your pictures that you left behind  
Are just memories of a different life  
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry  
One that made you have to say goodbye.  
 
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair  
touch your lips to hold you near  
When you say your prayers try to understand  
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man.  
 
When he holds you close, when he pulls you near  
When he says the words you've been needing to hear  
I'll wish I was him and those words were mine  
To say to you till the end of time.  
 
And I will love you, Baby, .. Always  
And I'll be there forever and a day, .. Always  
If you told me to cry for you, I could  
If you told me to die for you, I would  
Take a look at my face there's no price I won't pay  
To say these words to you.  
 
Well there ain't no luck  
In these loaded dice  
But baby if you give me just one more try  
We can pack up our old dreams and our old lives  
We'll find a place where the sun still shines.  
 
And I will love you, Baby, .. Always  
And I'll be there forever and a day, .. Always  
I'll be there till the stars don't shine  
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme  
I know when I die you'll be on my mind  
And I'll love you, .. Always.  
 
Oh Baby don't you throw it away  
Baby don't you throw it away  
Baby don't you throw it away  
Yeah woah yeah.  
C'mon. Shot through the heart and you're to blame  
Darling you give love a bad name  
 
An angel's smile is what you sell  
You promise me Heaven, then put me through Hell  
Chains of love got a hold on me  
When passion's a prison, you can't break free  
 
You're a loaded gun  
There's nowhere to run  
No one can save me  
The damage is done  
 
Shot through the heart and you're to blame  
You give love a bad name  
I play my part and you play your game  
You give love a bad name  
You give love a bad name  
 
You paint your smile on your lips  
Blood red nails on your fingertips  
A school boy's dream, you act so shy  
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye  
 
You're a loaded gun  
There's nowhere to run  
No one can save me  
The damage is done  
 
Shot through the heart and you're to blame  
You give love a bad name  
I play my part and you play your game  
You give love a bad name  
You give love...  
 
SOLO  
 
Shot through the heart and you're to blame  
You give love a bad name  
I play my part and you play your game  
You give love a bad name  
Shot through the heart and you're to blame  
You give love a bad name  
I play my part and you play your game  
You give love a bad name  
You give love...  
You give love...  
Bad name  
You give love...  
You give love...  
Bad name  
You give love...  
You give love...  
Bad name  
You give love...

You know that I have from the start  
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart When I was young  
I never needed anyone  
And making love was just for fun  
Those days are gone  
Livin' alone  
I think of all the friends I've known  
When I dial the telephone  
Nobody's home  
 
All by myself  
Don't wanna be  
All by myself  
Anymore  
 
Hard to be sure  
Sometimes I feel so insecure  
And loves so distant and obscure  
Remains the cure  
 
All by myself  
Don't wanna be  
All by myself  
Anymore  
All by myself  
Don't wanna live  
All by myself  
Anymore  
 
When I was young  
I never needed anyone  
Making love was just for fun  
Those days are gone  
 
All by myself  
Don't wanna be  
All by myself  
Anymore  
All by myself  
Don't wanna live  
Oh  
Don't wanna live  
By myself, by myself  
Anymore  
By myself  
Anymore  
Oh  
All by myself  
Don't wanna live  
I never, never, never  
Needed anyone Does he love me? I want to know  
How can I tell if he loves me so?  
 
Is it in his eyes?  
Oh, no you'll be decieved  
Is it in his eyes?  
Oh, no he'll make believe  
If you want to know  
Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop  
If he loves you so  
Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop  
It's in his kiss  
That's where it is, oh yeah  
 
Or is it in his face?  
Oh no, it's just his charms  
In his warm embrace?  
Oh no, that's just his arms  
If you wanna know  
Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop  
If he loves you so  
Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop  
It's in his kiss

Find out what you want to know  
If it's love, if it really is  
It's there, in his kiss  
 
How about the way he acts?  
Oh no, that's not the way  
And you're not listening to all I say  
And if you wanna know  
Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop

Ooh, oh it's in his kiss  
Oh, oh, it's in his kiss  
That's where it is If I could turn back time, if I could find a way  
I'd take back those words that have hurt you  
And you'd stay  
 
I don't know why I did the things I did  
I don't know why I said the things I said  
Pride's like a knife, it can cut deep inside  
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes  
 
I didn't really mean to hurt you  
I didn't wanna see you go  
I know I made you cry, but baby...  
 
If I could turn back time, if I could find a way  
I'd take back those words that have hurt you and you'd stay  
If I could reach the stars, I'd give them all to you  
Then you'd love me, love me like you used to do  
If I could turn back time  
 
My world was shattered, I was torn apart  
Like somebody took a knife and drove it deep in my heart  
When you walked out that door I swore that I didn't care  
But I lost every thing darling then and there  
 
Too strong to tell you I was sorry  
Too proud to tell you I was wrong  
I know that I was blind, and darling  
 
If I could turn back time, if I could find a way  
I'd take back those words that have hurt you and you'd stay  
If I could reach the stars, I'd give them all to you  
Then you'd love me, love me like you used to do  
If I could turn back time  
 
If I could turn back time, If I could turn back time  
If I could turn back time, Baby  
I didn't really mean to hurt you, I didn't wanna see you go  
I know I made you cry  
 
If I could turn back time, if I could find a way  
I'd take back those words that have hurt you and you'd stay  
If I could reach the stars, I'd give them all to you  
Then you'd love me, love me like you used to do  
If I could turn back time You're struttin' into town like you're slingin' a gun  
Just a small town dude with a big city attitude  
Honey are ya lookin' for some trouble tonight  
Well all right  
 
You think you're so bad, drive the women folk wild  
Shoot 'em all down with the flash of your pearly smile  
Honey but you met your match tonight  
Oh, that's right  
 
You think you'll knock me off my feet 'til I'm flat on the floor  
'Til my heart is cryin' Indian and I'm beggin for more  
So come on baby  
Come on baby show me what that loaded gun is for  
 
If you can give it I can take it  
'Cause if this heart is gonna break it's gonna take a lot to break it I know tonight  
Somebody's gonna win the fight  
So if you're so tough  
Come on and prove it  
You heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it  
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames  
Just like Jesse James  
 
You're an outlaw lover and I'm after your hide  
Well you ain't so strong, won't be long 'til your hands are tied  
Tonight I'm gonna take you in dead or alive  
That's right  
 
You break the laws of love in the name of desire  
Take ten steps back cause I'm ready baby  
Aim and fire  
Baby there's nowhere you gonna run tonight  
Ooh that's right  
 
Well you've had your way with love but it's the end of the day  
Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag your heart away  
So come on baby  
Come on baby  
Come on baby you know there ain't nothing left to say  
 
You think you'll knock me off my feet 'til I'm flat on the floor  
'Til my heart is cryin' Indian and I'm beggin for more  
So come on baby  
Come on baby, come on  
 
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames  
Just like Jesse James  
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames  
Just like Jesse James  
 
I'm gonna shoot you down Jesse James I don't need your sympathy  
Theres nothing you can say or do for me  
And I don't want a miracle  
You'll never change for no one  
 
I hear your reasons why Where did you sleep last night?  
And was she worth it, was she worth it?  
 
cause I'm strong enough To live without you  
Strong enough and I quit crying Long enough now I'm strong enough  
To know you gotta go  
 
Theres no more to say So save your breath  
And then walk away No matter what I hear you say  
I'm strong enough to know you gotta go  
 
So you feel misunderstood Baby, have I got news for you  
On being used, I could write a book You don't wanna hear about it  
 
I've been losing sleep You've been going cheap  
She ain't worth half of me its true I'm telling you  
 
Now I'm strong enough to live without you  
Strong enough and I quit crying  
Long enough now I'm strong enough To know you gotta go  
 
Come hell or waters high You'll never see me cry  
This is our last goodbye, its true  
 
I'm telling you That I'm strong enough to live without you  
Stron enough and I quit crying Long enough now I'm strong enough  
To know you gotta go  
 
Theres no more to say So save your breath  
And you walk away No matter what I hear you say  
I'm strong enough to know you gotta go Put on my blue suede shoes  
And I, boarded the plane  
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues  
In the middle of the pouring rain  
W. C. Handy - won 't you look down over me  
Yeah, I got a first class ticket  
But I'm as blue as a girl can be  
 
Then I'm walking in Memphis  
 
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale  
Walking in Memphis  
But do I really feel the way I feel  
 
Saw the ghost of Elvis  
On Union Avenue  
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland  
Then I watched him walk right through  
Now security they did not see him  
They just hovered 'round his tomb  
But there's a pretty little thing  
Waiting for the King  
Down in the Jungle Room  
 
When I was walking in Memphis  
 
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale  
Walking in Memphis  
But do I really feel the way I feel  
 
Walking in Memphis  
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale  
Walking in Memphis  
But do I really feel the way I feel  
 
They got catfish on the table  
They got gospel in the air  
Reverend Green be glad to see you  
When you haven't got a prayer  
But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis  
 
Now Gabriel plays piano  
Every Friday at the Hollywood  
And they brought me down to see him  
They asked me if I would  
Do a little number  
And I sang with all my might  
he said: "Tell me are you a Christian, child?"  
And I said: "Man I am tonight"  
 
Walking in Memphis  
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale  
Walking in Memphis  
But do I really feel the way I feel  
 
Put on my blue suede shoes Don't give in  
 
Everyday is so wonderful, then suddenly it's hard to breathe  
Now & then, I get insecure from all the pain, I'm so ashamed  
 
I am beautiful no matter what they say, words can't bring me down  
I am beautiful in every single way, yes words can't bring me down  
So don't you bring me down today  
 
To all your friends, you're delirious, so consumed in all your doom  
Trying hard to fill the emptiness, the pieces gone, left the puzzle undone, is that the way it is  
 
You are beautiful no matter what they say, words can't bring you down  
You are beautiful in every single way, yes words can't bring you down  
So don't you bring me down today  
 
No matter what we do, no matter what we say  
We're the song inside the tune, full of beautiful mistakes  
& everywhere we go, the sun will always shine & tomorrow we might awake on the other side  
 
We are beautiful no matter what they say, yes words won't bring us down  
We are beautiful in every single way, yes words can't bring us down  
So don't you bring me down today  
 
Don't you bring me down today, don't you bring me down today
