Tracks Of My Tears
People say I'm the life of the party
Because I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud
and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look
closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears..
I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another
girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent
one..
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The
tracks of my tears..
I need you, need you
Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
Just a clown oh yeah
Since
you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break up with you..
So take a good look at my face
You'll
see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Cupid
Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Cupid
please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Now I don't mean to bother you
but I'm in a mess
There's danger of me losing all of my happiness
For I love a girl who doesn't know I exist
And
this you can fix
So...
Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for
me
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Cupid with your
arrow make a love storm for me
I promise I will lover her until eternity
I know between the two of us her heart we can
steal
Help me if you will
Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for
me
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Cupid, don't you
hear me
Calling you
I need you
Cupid
Help me
Sexual Healing
Ooh, now let's get down tonight
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much
longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing, oh
baby
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual Healing baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something
that's good for me
Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something
I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and
Honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love
you give to me will free me
If you don't know the things you're dealing
I can tell you, darling, that it's Sexual Healing
Get
up, Get up, Get up, Get up, let's make love tonight
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, 'cos you do it right
Baby I
got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
And
when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps
to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual Healing, baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good
for me
And it's good for me and it's good to me
My baby ohhh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and
mind soon we'll be making it
Honey, oh we're feeling fine
You're my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you're
so great
I can't wait for you to operate
I can't wait for you to operate
When I get this feeling, I need Sexual Healing
[Ad lib]
In Your Eyes
love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off
in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
all my instincts, they return
and the grand
facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light
the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the
resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to
be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
love, I don't like to see so much pain
so
much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time
with you to keep me awake and alive
and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without
a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am
complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless
searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch
the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your
eyes
Your Love
Josie's on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I'd like to say
You
know I like my girls a little bit older
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I
ain't got many friends left to talk to
No-one's around when I'm in trouble
You know I'd do anything for you
Stay
the night - we'll keep it under cover
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
Try
to stop my hands from shakin'
Somethin' in my mind's not makin' sense
It's been awhile since we've been all alone
I
can't hide the way I'm feelin'
As you leave me please would you close the door
and forget what I told you
Just
'cause you're right - that don't mean I'm wrong
Another shoulder to cry upon
I just wanna use your love tonight
I
don't wanna lose your love tonight
Yeah
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
Lose
your love
Lose your love
Lose your love
Drift Away
Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light in the pouring rain
You know that's a game
that I hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I
wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost
in your rock and roll and drift away
Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I
do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you to carry me through
And when my mind is free
You
know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy
that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along
makin' me strong
Easy
(part of Lionel Richie Melody with The Life of Riley on 08 UK Tour)
Know it sounds funny
But I just can't stand the pain
Girl I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me
girl
You know I've done all I can
You see I begged, stole
And I borrowed
Ooh, that's why I'm easy
I'm easy
like sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like sunday morning
Why in the world
Would anyboddy put chains
on me?
I've paid my dues to make it
Everbody wants me to be
What they want me to be
I'm not happy when I try to
fake it!
No!
Ooh,that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like sunday
morning
I wanna be high, so high
I wanna be free to know
The things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just
me, babe!
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like sunday morning
Because
I'm easy
Easy like sunday morning
Because I'm easy
Easy like sunday morning

Sittin in the morning sun,
I`ll be sittin' when the evening come,
Watching the ships roll in,
And
I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah,
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Watching the tide roll away, ouh,
I'm just
sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Wasting time.
I left my home in Georgia,
Headed for the Frisco bay
I have
nothing to live for,
Look like nothings gonna come my way,
So I'm just go sit on the dock of the bay
Watching
the tide roll away,
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay,
Wasting time
Look like nothings gonna change,
Everything
still remain the same,
I can't do what ten people tell me to do,
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes,
Sittin'
here resting my bones,
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes,
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this
dock my home
Now I'm just go sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock
of the bay
Wasting time
I put into Nashville, Tennessee
But you wouldn't even come around to see me
You seemed to headin'
up to Carolina
You know I gonna be right there behind you
'Cos I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always
have to steal my kisses from you
Now I love to feel that warm southern rain
Just to hear it fall is the sweetest
sounds of things
And to see it fall on your simple country dress
It's like heaven to me I must confess
'Cos
I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you
Now I've been hangin' around
you for days
But when I lean in you just turn your head away
Wo, I know you didn't mean that
She said I love the
way you think
But I hate the way you act
'Cos I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal
my kisses from you
Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some
people call me Maurice
'Cause I speak of the pompitous of love
People talk about me, baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong,
doin' you wrong
Well, don't you worry, baby, don't worry
'Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at
home
'Cause I'm a picker, I'm a grinner
I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker,
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I sure don't want to hurt no one
I'm a picker, I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
and I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker, I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I get my lovin' on
the run
Whooo Whooooo!
[break]
You're the cutest thing that I ever did see
I really love your peaches,
wanna shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Ooo-eee baby, I'll sure show you a good time
'Cause
I'm a picker, I'm a grinner
I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker, I'm a smoker
I'm
a midnight toker
I get my lovin' on the run
I'm a picker, I'm a grinner
I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
I play
my music in the sun
I'm a joker, I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I sure don't want to hurt no one
[break]
People
keep talking about me, baby
They say I'm doin' you wrong
Well don't you worry, don't worry, no don't worry, mama
'Cause
I'm right here at home
You're the cutest thing I ever did see
Really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree
Lovey-dovey,
lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Sittin' on my own
Chewin' on a bone
A thousand million
Miles from home
When Something hit
me
Somewhere right between the eyes
Sleepin' on a plane
You know you can't complain
You took your last
chance
Once again
I landed, stranded
Hardly even knew your name
I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin'
light
'Bout how you saved my life
You and me see how we are
You and me see how we are
All your dreams
are made
Of Strawberry lemonade
And you make sure
I eat today
You take me walking
To where you played
When you were young
I'll never say that I
Won't ever make you cry
And this I'll say
I don't know why
I know I'm leavin'
But I'll be back another day
I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout
how you saved my life
(You saved my life)
I wanna talk tonight
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved
my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
I wanna talk tonight
(Repeat in background)
I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs
of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again
Tho'
I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to
carry on,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin'
down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting
no more time
I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For
the rest of my days,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again
on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up
my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go...
An'
I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've
ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street
of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born
to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time...
But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here
I go again,
Here I go,
Here I go again...
Stuck on you
Stuck on you
I've got this feeling down
Deep in my soul
That I just can't lose
Guess, I'm on
my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess
I'll be with you till the end
Guess I'm on my way
Mighty
glad you stayed
I'm stuck on you
Been a fool too long I guess
It's time for me to come on home
Guess I'm on
my way
So hard to see
That a woman like you could wait
Around for a man like me
Guess I'm on my way
Mighty
glad you stayed
Oh, I'm leaving on that midnight train
And I know just where I'm going
I've packed up my troubles
And
I've thrown them all away
Because this time little darlin'
I'm coming home to stay
I'm stuck on you
I've got
this feeling down
Deep in my soul
That I just can't lose
Guess, I'm on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I
feel now I guess
I'll be with you till the end
Guess I'm on my way
I'm mighty glad you stayed
Hallelujah
Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really
care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The
baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well Your faith was
strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied
you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well baby I've been here before
I’ve seen this room and I've
walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory
march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well
there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
And
remember when I moved in you?
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot
somebody who'd OUT DREW YA
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's
a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
