"Whatever It Takes"
~ April Wine
Album: Frigate

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD7epLzoTSw

With all my heart, I'm in love with you
If you know me, you know it's true
I won't play around, the way that others do
And I can only say, I'll dedicate my life to you

Whatever it takes, I'll take my time with you
Whatever it means, I mean to see it through

To feel this way, and to know it's right
A sense of peace, when you hold me tight
We understand, all that love could be
To know you care, to know how much you mean to me

Whatever it takes, I'll take my time with you
Whatever it means, I mean to see it through

To fall to pieces, would go against the rules
And for all we know, this feeling will show
I believe our love will grow

Whatever it takes, I'll take my time with you
Whatever your dreams, I'll share those dreams with you
Wherever this leads, I'll walk that road with you
Whatever it takes, I'll take my time with you
Whatever it means, I mean to see it through
Whatever it takes, I'll take my time with you

"Be My Lady"
~ Jefferson Starship
Album: Winds of Change

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7QJ6J0A1iA

I just look at you and I'm hypnotized
Like I'm drowning now, drowning in your eyes
You are beautiful, past imagining
And I want you more, more than anything

And I cannot speak, and I've lost my sight
All my senses gone, lost in you tonight
And I want your love
Be my lady, be my lady, be my lady

Do I ask too much, do I want too much
Want to know you now, want to feel your touch
You just look at me, feel the fire start
Want to make you burn, want to touch your heart

And I cannot speak, and I've lost my sight
All my senses gone, lost in you tonight
And I want your love
Be my lady, be my lady, be my lady, lady
C'mon girl

Got a racing heart and my mind's a roar
Never felt like this, never loved before
And it's dangerous, I would willingly
Burn to ashes now, if you'll stay with me

And I cannot speak, and I've lost my sight
All my senses gone, lost in you tonight
And I want your love
Be my lady, you know I love you now
Be my lady
Won't you be my lady

"I'd Love You To Want Me"
~ Lobo
Album: Of A Simple Man

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUCX9EddXj8

When I saw you standing there
I bout fell out my chair
And when you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet.

Now it took time for me to know
what you tried so not to show
Now something in my soul just cries
I see the want in your blue eyes.

Baby, I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be.

You told yourself years ago
You'd never let your feeling show
The obligation that you made
For the title that they gave.

"Stay Close Tonight"
~ Icehouse
Album: Sidewalk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYaVwJkLiVY

Ooh, ooh...ooh, ooh...uh, uh, uh...Mmm, mmm, mmm...

Now as the day is closing, hold every moment
It may slip through your hands
Evening falls so slowly, so something warm as only summer nights can

Every sound that you're hearing, every smile that you catch
Is somehow lost in the crowd
And I know it's not easy, oh girl you know me
There's no need to go now

All those tears you've wasted (All those tears you have wasted)
When all the while (After all the while)
Everything was alright (Everything is)
So don't you be so sad now (So don't you be so sad now)
You know that we can make it work out (We can make it work out

When the moon & sun finds you (When the moon and sun finds you)
Well U can turn to brand new day (You can turn to a brand new day)
All the love that I give you (All the love that I give you)
Take all I have, no one can steal it away (No one can steal away)

Tonite, tonite, stay close tonight...Hold on, hold on, stay close tonight

You and I belong here, two of a kind together day after day
Outside the night is warm, just close you eyes now
So come on, don't you cry

Oh tonight somehow special
I don't know how to tell you the way that I feel
We could stay here forever, never come down
Won't you say that you will

Tonite, tonite (chance, chance) stay close tonight (stay close tonight)
Hold on, hold on, stay close tonight (stay close tonight)
Tonite, tonite (chance, chance) stay close tonight (stay close tonight)
Hold on, hold on, stay close tonight (stay close tonight)

"Something About You"
~ Bad Company
Album: Dangerous Age

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzoG27EgYcg

I've only known what it is to be lonely
When into my life, you came walking through
Can this be real, I don't know what I'm feeling
Ooh, there's something 'bout you
And I can't believe the way that you know me
You sense every mood, ooh you know when I'm blue
But here in my heart, ooh there's mixed up emotions
Ooh, there's something 'bout you
I never wanted anybody, and I won't start now
I never planned it, I don't understand it, so tell me what can I do
Don't turn away, ooh I think I'm still learning
Yeah, there's something 'bout you

Ooh, here in my heart, ooh there's mixed up emotions
But there's something 'bout you
You know there's something 'bout you
There's something 'bout you, you came shining through, babe
Now there's something 'bout you, I don't know, I don't know what I'm feeling
There's something 'bout you, I don't know, I don't know
Yeah there's something 'bout you

"You're The Violin"
~ Nazareth
Album: Close Enough For Rock N Roll

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_Ef5MATWLs


Some beat me like a drum
Some stroke me like a guitar
Some shake me like a tambourine
Some beat me into the wall
In the song of my life
Baby, you're the violin
Some blow me like a horn
Some slide me like a trombone
Some smoke me like a tuba dude
Some cut me like a saxophone
In the song of my life
Baby, you're the violin
When you touch me like you touch me
Don't it feel like a summer breeze
When you lay down in my lonely soul, ya
It brings me to my knees
Think I'm makin' love to you
Sweet Baby, Ya
When you touch me like you touch me
Well, don't it feel like a summer breeze
When you lay down in my lonely soul, ya
It brings me to my knees
Think I'm makin' love to you
Sweet Baby, Ya
Some beat me like a drum
Some stroke me like a guitar
Sh-sh-sh-shake me like a tambourine
Some beat me into the wall
In the song of my life
Baby, you're the violin
In the song of my life
Baby, you're the violin

"The Last Worthless Evening"
~ Don Henley
Album: The End Of The Innocence

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzHuobOnn1I

I know you broke up with him
And your heart's still on the shelf
It's been over two years for me
And I'm still not quite myself
You can't be with someone new
And you can't go back to him
You're beginning to realize
That it's sink or swim

I see you around sometimes
And my heart just melts
You're lookin' like if you had your wish
You'd be somewhere else
And it just breaks my heart
To see you here this way
Someday I'll get the nerve
To walk up to you and say

This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend
Just gimme a chance
To show you how to love again
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend
'Cause I'll be there
When your broken heart is on the mend

Every night it's the same old crowd
In smokey rooms
You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes
But it never blooms
I've been around this block a time or two
And I've made some big mistakes
But girl I promise you, I promise you

This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend
Just gimme a chance
To show you how to love again
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend
'Cause it won't be long
'Till your little heart is on the mend

People inside their houses
With the shades pulled down

God knows, we could use some romance
In this sleepy bedroom town
I know you're still afraid to rush into anything
But there're just so many summers
And just so many springs

And this is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend, baby
Just gimme a chance, gimme a chance
To show you love again
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend 'cause it won't be long
'Til your little heart is on the mend

That you'll have to spend
Just gimme a chance to show you how
To love again
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend 'cause it won't be long
'Til your little heart is on the mend

"Only Because Of You"
~ Roger Hodgson
Album: The Eye of the Storm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dXDMVfRDYM

And so we sail towards the dawn
Joining those who gently mourn for you
It's only because of you
Friends may come and friends may go
The only friend I need to know is you
It's only because of you
Mighty castles, lonely kings
Hear the ragged children sing it's you
It's only because of you
He who smiles at lofty schemes
Stems the tide of broken dreams is you

It's only because of you
It's only because of you

And when the storms have died away
Only Truth will like to say it's you
It's only because of you
And when the darkness flies away
Only love will shine to say it's true
It's only because of you
It's only because of you

"Here's To You"
~ Sniff 'n' the Tears
Album: Downstream

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tnumZb4P8Y

Don't worry about me cause I've been wrong before
I try to take things in my stride
the moon and the stars are all I've hungered for
maybe to hang on to my pride

Pull down heaven mend these tired eyes
we need to see what we've been through
here's to you

There's a spoke in my soul that feeds on dark desires
invades the purity of you
you see in me you light these pretty little fires
and there's just nothing I can do

Slowdown heaven mend these tired eyes
let's hold on to what is true
here's to you

People I know have seen the change in me
since you walked out of our lives together they could see
I was eaten up with shame when everything I loved
had walked right out on me

Hold down heaven mend these tired eyes
you must do what you must do
here's to you

"Always Somewhere"
~ Scorpions
Album: Lovedrive

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssqHxLcsVOY

Arrive at seven the place feels good
No time to call you today
Encores till eleven then Chinese food
Back to the hotel again

I call your number the line ain't free
I like to tell you come to me
A night without you seems like a lost dream
Love I can't tell you how I feel

Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again

Another morning another place
The only day off is far away
But every city has seen me in the end
And brings me to you again

Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again


"When The Smoke Is Going Down"
~ Scorpions
Album: Blackout

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwTp0FUOCsQ

Just when you make your way back home
I find some time to be alone
I go to see the place once more
Just like a thousand nights before
I climb the stage again this night
'Cause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down

This is the place where I belong
I really love to turn you on
I've got your sound still in my ear
While your traces disappear
I climb the stage again this night
'Cause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down

I climb the stage again this night
'Cause the place seems still alive
When the smoke is going down
When the smoke is going down
When the smoke is going down

"Feelings"
~ Angel
Album: Helluva Band

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2goiSeUnZ8Q

Everyday I try to change my ways,
Still I find I'm calling your name.
Try to stop myself right from the very start,
But to be in love has torn me apart.

I've made it clear I want you near,
That constant fear that you might leave me standing here.
Can't help myself for this torturing inside,
Possessed by love, is the pain I cannot hide.

Feelings, reach out and hold me
Hold me close by your side.

So you see you've become a part of me
A part that helps me to live and breathe.
Now you've gone I need you more and more each day
A selfish need that won't go away

You took my life and the love I've stored,
You took it all and left me nothing but wanting more.
Can't help myself from this torturing inside,
Possessed by love is the pain I cannot hide.

Feelings, reach out and hold me
Hold me close by your side
Feelings, reach out and hold me
Hold me close by your side

Feelings, feelings, feelings, feelings, feelings
Feelings, feelings, feelings, feelings
Feelings, reach out and hold me
Hold me close by your side

And now I realize,
The meaning of good-byes.

"You Make Lovin Fun"
~ Fleetwood Mac
Album: Rumors

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNPQx_Bb2Fo

Sweet wonderful you,
You make me happy with the things you do,
Oh, can it be so,
This feeling follows me wherever I go.

I never did believe in miracles,
But I've a feeling it's time to try.
I never did believe in the ways of magic,
But I'm beginning to wonder why.

I never did believe in miracles,
But I've a feeling it's time to try.
I never did believe in the ways of magic,
But I'm beginning to wonder why.

Don't, don't break the spell,
It would be different and you know it will,
You, you make loving fun,
And I don't have to tell you but you're the only one.

You, you make loving fun
(It's all I want to do)

You, you make loving fun
(It's all I want to do)

You, you make loving fun
(It's all I want to do)

You, you make loving fun
(It's all I want to do)

"Dirty Women"
~ Black Sabbath
Album: Technical Ecstacy



The neon lights are shining on me again
I walk the lonely streets in search of a friend
I need a lady to help me to get through the night, through the night
If I could find one then everything would be alright

The sleepy city is dreaming the night time away
Out on the street I watch tomorrow becoming today
I see a man, he's got take away women for sale, yes for sale
Guess that's the answer, 'cause take away women don't fail

Oh dirty women, they don't mess around
Oh dirty women, they don't mess around
You've got me coming, You've got me going around
Oh dirty women, they don't mess around

Walking the streets I wonder will it ever happen
Gotta be good 'cause then everything will be OK
If I could score tonight then I will end up happy

A woman for sale is gonna help me save my day...

"I've Been Waiting For You"
~ Abba
Album: ABBA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ7C127Q-GY

I, I've been in love before
I thought I would no more
Manage to hit the ceiling
Still, strange as it seems to me
You brought it back to me
That old feeling

I, I don't know what you do
You make me think that you
Possibly could release me
I think you'll be able to
Make all my dreams come true
And you ease me

You thrill me, you delight me
You please me, you excite me
You're something I'd been pleading for
I love you, I adore you
I lay my life before you
I'll have you want me more and more
And finally it seems my lonely days are through
I've been waiting for you

I, I'm gonna make you mine
You're gonna feel so fine
You'll never want to leave me
I feel you belong to me
Someday you will agree
Please, believe me

You thrill me, you delight me
You please me, you excite me
You're something I'd been pleading for
I love you, I adore you
I lay my life before you
I'll have you want me more and more
And finally it seems my lonely days are through
I've been waiting for you
Oh, I've been waiting for you

Na na na, na na na, na-na na
Na na na, na na na, na-na na
Na na na, na na na, na-na na-naa

"Out Of Love"
~ Toto
Album: Past to Present 1977-1990

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQVmxEYv5Yc

Paint me a picture of two lovers,
show me the lovers torn apart

You made me fall in love with you,
the dance of lovers takes two
Somehow the music stopped,
and so did our love

I tried to put the pieces together,
and I got a grip on my life
They say there's one born every minute
who holds on for a lifetime
What good is a lifetime if I can't be with you

I just wanna hold you,
just wanna touch you,
just let me love you
When I see your face,
my heart cries out for you
I guess that fools never learn how to fall out of love

I do admit I really miss you,
there are some things time cannot change
And I would be a liar babe,
if I told you I didn't care
'Cause it makes a difference, babe, when you're not there

I just wanna hold you,
just wanna touch you,
just let me love you
When I see your face,
my heart, my heart goes crazy baby
It's starts calling your name

I just wanna hold you,
just wanna touch you,
I just wanna hold you
When I see your face,
my heart cries out for you
I guess that fools never learn how to fall out of love

"Coming Back To Life"
~ Pink Floyd
Album: Division Bell

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjoPWxmOCtc

Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
And where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
'Cause the things you say and the things you do surround me

While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun

Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight ...into the shining sun

"Valentine"
~ Nils Lofgren
Album: Face The Music



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he8yijmQU3E

Today I'm thinkin' about the world we live in
All the love and hate that's floatin' around
All the times I felt so lost and helpless
You stood by me, you never let me down
Still I keep throwin' up these walls
Most of them I've built with stones
You tear 'em down and bridge the distance
Knowin' we ain't here to be alone
So let your blue heart open wide
Let's never leave our dreams behind
It would comfort and restore my pride
If you let me be your valentine
Our differences are part of life
Still love will pass the test of time
I want you everyday and night
Girl, won't you be my valentine
be my valentine
Be my valentine
Be my valentine
