"Can't Fight Fate"

With Every Beat Of My Heart
(Tommy Faragher, Lotti Golden, Arthur Baker)

I keep getting closer
To the love I know
I'm ready and willing
Getting out of control
You win and you lose some
But if you stay in the game
Before you know it
You'll feel the fire
But don't get burned by the flame
You'll find the answer any day
With every beat of my heart
I keep getting closer to you
With every beat of my heart now
I know we're getting closer
To love with every beat
I just wanna know you
More every day
And now it won't be long
Till I hear you say (say it, say it)
Say that you do boy
It's just a matter of time
Before you know it
You'll feel the fire
And it's burning deep inside
You'll find the answer
In his eyes
With every beat of my heart
I keep getting closer to you
With every beat of my heart now
I know we're getting closer to love
With every beat of my heart
I feel you moving closer to me, oh
With every beat of my heart
Baby I know it's becoming reality
With every beat

 

 

Love Will Lead You Back

(Diane Warren)

Saying goodbye is never an easy thing
But you never said, that you'd stay forever
So if you must go
Well, darlin', I'll set you free
But I know in time
That we'll be together
Oh, I won't try
To stop you now from leaving
Cause in my heart I know

(chorus)
Love will lead you back
Someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms
Where you belong
I'm sure, sure as stars are shining
One day you will find me again
It won't be long
One of these days
Our love will lead you back

One of these nights
Well I'll hear your voice again
You're gonna say, oh, how much you miss me
You walked out this door
But someday you'll walk back in
Oh, darling I know
Oh, I know this will be
Sometimes it takes, sometime out on your own now
To find your way back home

(repeat chorus)

But I won't try to stop you now from leaving
Cause in my heart I know...oh yeah

(repeat chorus)

Love will lead you back
Someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms
It won't be long
One of these days
Our love will lead you back

Heart of stone

(Elliot Wolff, Gregg Tripp)

We need to lay in each other's arms
There's no where else to go
It's all so easy and I want you to know
There'll never be another one who could get this close to me
Everything you give to me is everything I've ever dreamed of

Even when you turn your back now
I can feel you reaching for me
Even when you walk away
I'll still know where you're hiding

I can't believe you've got a heart of stone
I've seen your tears fall when you thought you were alone
I can't believe you've got a heart of stone
I can't believe it

You try to make like I'm not there
To show me how you feel
You don't have to hurt me with the hurt that you won't reveal
There'll never be another one who could get this close to you
I can give you everything that you've ever dreamed of

Even when you turn your back now
I can feel you reaching for me
Even when you walk away
I still know where you're hiding

I can't believe you've got a heart of stone
I've seen your tears fall when you thought you were alone
I can't believe you've got a heart of stone
I can't believe it
I can't believe you've got a heart of stone
The more you try to hide your love, the more it shows
I can't believe you've got a heart of stone
I can't believe it

I can't believe you've got a heart of stone
The more you try to hide you love, the more it shows
I can't believe you've got a heart of stone
I can't believe it
I can't believe you've got a heart of stone
Your eyes say yes even when you tell me no
I can't believe you've got a heart of stone
I can't believe it

I'll Be You Shelter

(Diane Warren)

When there's clouds hangin' in your sky
And they're just not lettin' any light in
And you feel like you'd like to give in
Don't you give up so soon
What you need is a friend to count on
What you got, baby you got someone
Who will stay when the rain is fallin'
And won't let it fall on you
I'll see you through
I'll cover you with a love so deep and warm and true
I will be there, oh
(CHORUS)
Honey I'll be your shelter
I'll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I'll make everything alright
Make everything alright, yeah
Na na nana na na ...
I got arms strong enough to hold you
Get you through anything you go through
Anything that you need you know it's only a touch away
When your heart needs a heart beside it
Should be mine thats it's keeping time with
'Cos I got so much live inside it
(It) beats for you every day
I'll be the one
To give you love
When it seems like there's just not enough
Mine will be there, oh
(chorus)
I'll be your shelter baby
I'll see you through
I'll cover you with a love so deep and warm and true
I will be there, oh
(repeat chorus to fade)

You Can't Fight Fate
(Diane Warren)

You can tell the truth
You can tell a lie
You can try to run from
What you feel inside
And tell yourself, tell yourself you don't need me

You can walk away
From what you know is right
Think you won't be thinkin about me at night
And tell yourself, tell yourself it'll be easy
And you might believe it
But don't be misleaded
You might think it will be that way, yay...

But you know
You can't fight fate
You can run
But you can't run away
No matter what you do
No matter what you say
When it's meant to be
It's gonna be that way
You can't fight fate

You can drive your car
Drive it night and day
But you won't ever drive, drive me away
I'll be in your heart, in your heart forever
I was meant to be with you
You were meant to be with me
Now what's it gonna take to make you see
We were meant to be, meant to be, be together
You might not understand it
Oh but that's what the plan is
And it's something that you can't change

Chorus
And you might believe it
Oh but don't be misleaded
There's just some things that you can't change

Chorus

Ain't No Good
(Taylor Dayne, Tommy Byrnes, Ric Wake)

Sometimes I stare and feel the heat of your eyes
And they burn me from deep down inside
Well that's okay, it just suits me fine
But I'm not that sure we're travelling on the same line

Cause when you hold me and you're holding me right
That's when you leave me, you leave me so light
Well it's just not fair, don't want to believe
But that's just the way it all seems to be
So now you're playing out of sight out of mind
You're gonna fall this time

Ain't no good for me baby
The way you treat me with your lies
Ain't no good for baby
After all the tears we cried
Ain't no good for me baby
The way you treat me with your lies

I feel so cold, I must be frozen inside
You've had my love locked up in your mind
Now it can't go on this heartache and pain
Our one-sided love leaves nothing to gain

But then you hold me and you hold me so right
That's when you leave me, you leave me so light
Well it's just not fair, don't want to believe
But that's the way it all seems to be

Chorus
So now you're playing out of sight out of mind
You're gonna fall this time

Chorus


UP ALL NIGHT
(Shelly Peiken, Steve Kimland, Kennan Keating)

Up all night
With thoughts I can't escape from
All the things you said
It's a one-way street this dead-end situation
Keeps running through my head

Now the thrill's gone
You're moving on
You say you really love me
But you must be going
It's too bad
It's to (damn) sad
But not enough to make me want to cry
Somewhere there's a man who needs me
Not someone who runs and leaves me
Up all night
All those nasty games you're playin
Make me sick and tired of stayin
Up all night
Now I can't calm down
You got my senses reelin
How could you say good-bye
It's 4 a.m.
I'm starin at the ceiling
Can't seem to close my eyes
But I'll be fine
In time
I'll find another lover, boy
And you'll be sorry
I'll be alright
I'll sleep tight
Till the break of dawn
Chorus

I can think of better things to do
Countin stars
Instead of counting on you
There'll be someone in my life
To hold me close
When we're up all night
But I'll be fine
In time
I'll find another lover, boy
And you'll be sorry
I'll be alright
I'll sleep tight
Till the break of dawn

Chorus

I Know The Feeling

( Marvin Hamlisch, Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman)

Thought I was happy thought that my life was made

Guess I believed the colors of love just fade

But now that you're here I can see

What I thought was all over is still here inside of me

And I know the feeling

And I love the feeling

You're fannin the coals and the flame in my soul's all I know

Yes I know the feeling

And I need the feeling

Oh this time I swear I won't let it go

It's like I was sleepin waitin to feel your kiss

I'd almost forgotten lovin could be like this

Just open your arms let me fall

I settled for half, oh but now I can have it all

Cause I know the feeling

And I love the feeling

This glow that I'm getting don't care if I'm letting it show

Yes I know the feeling

And I need the feeling

Oh this time I swear I won't let you go...

Repeat....Fade.

You Meant The World To Me

(Taylor Dayne, Ric Wake)

 

Didn't really want to say good-bye

I was torn between love and pride

You kissed the child in me

Went and brought about a lady

Lovin times always seen to change

I guess I'm a part to blame

We lost our eye to eye

Day and night I only cry

Well your pushing got the best of me

A time I'd thought I'd never leave

Lift the hands that had a hold on me

Now tis time to breathe

Cause you meant the world to me

But I had other needs

To be the girl of someone's eye

And not a type that you could love and hide

Cause you had to take control

So I just had to go

I'm sorry how it had to be

But you meant the world to me

The love you gave blinded me

So disguised I couldn't see

You eyes seemed so sincere

I didn't notice any trouble there

But you went and turned your love on me

Only wanted me lock and key

Didn't understand my thoughts and ways

Pretty soon you said I'd changed

Chorus

You meant the world to me

You meant the world

People tell you stand by your man

If it's love through thick and thin

But you wouldn't go and let it be

So now it's time for me, yeah

Chorus

 

 

Wait For Me
(Antonina Armato, Rick Neigher)

No one could ever
Keep you better satisfied
And if I had a crystal ball
I'd show you all the future hides
But for now
Take a little time to know me
I swear I'm not stringing you along
I might be driving you crazy
But I wouldn't steer you wrong
I wouldn't steer you wrong
Wait for me boy
If we take it slow
We'll discover something greater
Wait for me boy
You know I'll give in sooner or later
Wait for me boy
Wait for me boy
You say your clock
Is running on the overtime
But you know
It takes a lot to
Get into this heart of mine
Don't you know
Every minute the feeling gets stronger
Quick love is not my style
Hold on just a little bit longer
I'll make it worth your while
I'll make it worth your while
Chorus
Take me in your arms so near
Just hold me and I'll lose my fears
It's just a matter of time
For me and you
If you want my love
All you got to do
Chorus
