Room Service

i've been living out my suitcase as long as i remember life's the same - it doesn't change - it's a gibson or a fender i still think about you babe - i swear sometimes i see your face these are crazy days ya i think i hear your voice - but it's just a dream it's a brand new movie but the same old scene ya i've been on the road nearly all my life been around the world 'bout a thousand times still a knock on the door makes me nervous i think i'll see you standing there - but no it's only room service - ya room service ya know i wouldn't change a thing - no i'm just waiting for the bell in room to ring i hope to see you smile - but i'm always wrong it's a different melody but the same old song...

1 Open Road

3 Let's Make A Night To Remember

I love the way ya look tonight With your hair hangin' down on your shoulders I love the way ya dance that slow sweet tango The way ya do everything but talk And how ya stare at me with those undress me eyes And your breath on my body makes me warm inside

Chorus

Let's make out - let's do something amazing Let's do something that's all the way Cuz I've never touched somebody like the way I touch your body Now I never want to let your body go...

Let's make a night - to remember From January - to December Let's make love - to excite us A memory - to ignite us Let's make honey baby - soft and tender Let's make sugar darlin' - sweet surrender Let's make a night - to remember - all life long

Chorus

I think about ya all the time Can't you see you drive me outta my mind Well I'm never holdin' back again Ya I never want this night to end Cuz I've never touched somebody like the way I touch your body Now I never want to let your body go...

4 Can't 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 - don't even try I'm goin' one way - your way It's such a strong way - let's make it our way Chorus

Can't stop this thing we started You gotta know it's right Can't stop this course we've plotted This thing called love we got it No place for the brokenhearted Can't stop this thing we started - no way I'm goin' your way!

You might stop the world spinnin' round Might even walk on holy ground I ain't Superman and I can't fly But if you wanna stop me baby - don't even try I'm goin' one way - your way It's such a strong way - let's make it our way

Chorus

Oh - why take it slow I gotta know Nothing can stop this thing that we got

5 Kids Wanna Rock

Turned on the radio Sounded like a disco Musta turned the dial for a couple of miles But I couldn't find no rock 'n roll

This computerized crap ain't gettin' me off Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock

London to L.A. Talkin' 'bout the new wave For a couple of bucks you 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 D.J. I got somethin' he's gotta play Wanna hear it I can't wait So turn it up, turn it up...

Kick down the barricades Listen to what the kids say From time to time people change their minds But the music is here to stay

I've seen it all from the bottom to the top Everywhere I go kids wanna rock

Around the world or around the block Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock

6 Back To You

i've been down - i've been beat i've been so tired - that i could not speak i've bin so lost that i could not see i wanted things that were out of reach then i found you and you helped me through and ya showed me what to do that's why i'm comin' back to you... like a star that guides a ship across the ocean that's how your love can take me home back to you and if i wish upon that star - that someday i'll be where you are i know that day is comin soon - ya i'm comin back to you you've been alone but ya did not show it you've been in pain when i did not know it you let me do what i needed to - you were there when i needed you mighta let you down - mighta messed you round but ya never changed your point of view that's why i'm comin' back to you...

7 Summer Of '69

I got my first real six-string And now the times are changin' Bought it at the five-and-dime Look at everything that's come and gone Played it til my fingers bled Sometimes when I play that old six-string It was the summer of '69 I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Me and some guys from school Standin' on your Mama's porch Had a band and we tried real hard You told me it would last forever Jimmy quit and Jody got married Oh the way you held my hand I shoulda known we'd never get far I knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life Oh when I look back now Back in the summer of '69 That summer seemed to last forever And if I had the choice Ya - I'd always wanna be there Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin' When you got a job to do Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in And that's when I met you

Standin' on your Mama's porch You told me that you'd 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

8 (Everything I do)Do it for you

(Everything I Do) 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 you'll search no more Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for You know it's true Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into my heart - you will find There's nothin' there to hide Take me as I am - take my life I would give it all I would sacrifice Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for I can't help it there's nothin' I want more Ya know it's true Everything I do - I do it for you

There's no love - like your love And no other - could give more love There's nowhere - unless you're there All the time - all the way

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for I can't help it there's nothin' I want more I would fight for you - I'd lie for you Walk the wire for you - Ya I'd die for you

Ya know it's true Everything I do - I do it for you

Drivin' home this evening I coulda sworn we had it all worked out You had this boy believin' Way beyond the shadow of a doubt

The I heard it on the street I heard you mighta found somebody new Well who is he baby - who is he And tell me what he means to you

I took it all for granted But how was I to know That you'd be letting go

Now it cuts like a knife But it feels so right It cuts like a knife But it feels so right

There's times I've 'bin mistaken There's tines I thought I'd 'bin misunderstood So wait a minute darlin' Can't you see we did the best we could

This would be the first time Things have gone astray Now you've 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

10 when you're gone

i've been wandering around the house all night wondering what the hell to do i'm trying to concentrate but all i can think of is you well the phone don't ring cuz my friends ain't home i'm tired of being all alone got the tv on cuz the radio's playing songs that remind me of you baby when you're gone - i realize i'm in love the days go on and on - and the nights just seem so long even food don't taste that good - drink ain't doing what it should things just feel so wrong - baby when you're gone i've been driving up and down these streets trying to find somewhere to go ya i'm lookin' for a familiar face but there's no one i know this is torture - this is pain - it feels like i'm gonna go insane i hope you're coming back real soon - cuz i don't know what to do baby when you're gone - i realize i'm in love the days go on and on - and the nights just seem so long even food don't taste that good - drink ain't doing what it should things just feel so wrong - baby when you're gone baby when you're gone - i realize i'm in love the days go on and on - and the nights just seem so long even food don't taste that good - drink ain't doing what it should things just feel so wrong - baby when you're gone

11 Nowhere fast

we're always on the run these days we hardly have the time to say what matters most of all ya you've always been the only one the only one to make me run anytime you call let's not talk about the future let's not talk about the days gone past all this time - we've been runnin' round in circles i can feel a change a comin' and i know we're gonna make it last from now on - we'll be goin' somewhere slowly instead of going nowhere fast

when everything has come and gone we'll look back on this road we're on and see how far we've come (ya we've come a long way) faster than the days go by i know we're gonna make them last instead of goin' nowhere fast

12 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've been down that road before But that's over now You keep me comin' back for more

Chorus

Baby you're all that I want When you're lyin' here in my arms I'm findin' it hard to believe We're in heaven And love is all that I need And I found it here in your heart It isn't too hard to see We're in heaven

Oh - once in your life you find someone Who will turn your world around Bring you up when you're feelin' down Ya-nothin' could change what you mean to me Oh there's lots that I could say But just hold me now Cause our love will light the way

Chorus

I've been waitin' for so long For somethin' to arrive For love to come along Now our dreams are comin' true Through the good times and the bad Ya - I'll be standin' there by you

13 Somebody

I bin lookin' for someone Between the fire and the flame We're all lookin' for somethin' To ease the pain Now who can you turn to When it's all black and white And the winners are losers You see it every night

Chorus

I need somebody Somebody like you Everybody needs somebody I need somebody Hey what about you Everybody needs somebody

When you're out on the front line And you're watchin' them fall It doesn't take long to realize It ain't worth fightin' for

I thought I saw the Madonna When you walked in the room Well your eyes were like diamonds And they cut right through - oh they cut right through

Chorus

Another night another lesson learned It's the distance keeps us sane But when the silence leads to sorrow We do it all again - all again

Chorus 14 The only thing that looks good on me is you

I don't look good in no Armani Suits No Gucci shoes - or designer boots I've tried the latest lines from A to Z But there's just one thing that looks good on me

Chorus

The only thing I want The only thing I need The only thing I choose The only thing that looks good on me...is you

I'm not satisfied with Versace style Put those patent leather pants - in the circular file Sometimes I think - I might be lookin' good But there's only one thing that fits me like it should

Chorus

The only thing I want The only thing I need The only thing I choose The only thing that looks good on me...is you

Ya it's you - it could only be you Nobody else will ever do Ya baby it's you - that I stick to Ya we stick like glue

Chorus

The only thing I want The only thing I need The only thing I choose The only thing that looks good on me...is you

16 Run to you

She says her love for me could never die But that'd change if she ever found out about you and I Oh - but her love is cold It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know, 'cause... When it gets too much I need to feel your touch

20 Straight from the heart

I could start dreamin' but it never ends As long as you're gone we may as well pretend I've been dreamin' Straight from the heart

You say it's easy but who's to say That we'd be able to keep it this way But it's easier Straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart Tell me we can make another start You know I'll never go As long as I know It's coming straight from the heart

I'll see you on the street some other time And all our words would just fall out of line Cuz I'm dreamin' - straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart Tell me we can make another start You know I'll never go As long as I know It's coming straight from the heart
