Car broke down on Highway 49 today Had my shades on You were drivin' by Pulled over to the side to help me, baby Next thing I know You had fixed everything Before I hit the road Let me buy a coffee for you at the Corner Café
Sun shinin', I was drivin' You were ridin', ridin' by Just drivin', you were ridin' I was stranded on a warm and sunny day And you came my way
Where did time go Enjoyed your company my friend By the way, thank you again For all of your time Was very much appreciated Got to get close Step outside to say goodbye Hop in my ride Sunroof down, crank up the stereo
Sun shinin', I was drivin' You were ridin', ridin' by Just drivin', you were ridin', ridin' I was stranded on a warm and sunny day And you came my way
Perfect timing Yeah, you were ridin' by and Ain't no denying Yes, the sun was really shining Time was flying The time was flying away
Back on the road Took off like an eagle flyin' I feel the wind blow Smile on my face Ain't no replacing this feeling, baby In the distance Clearly I can see the horizon Feel that bass blow Pumpin' like a drum, oh, I can feel the race of the rhythm
Sun shinin', I was drivin' You were ridin', ridin' by Just drivin', you were ridin' On a warm and sunshiny day Sun shinin', I was drivin' You were ridin', ridin' by Just drivin', you were ridin', ridin' I was stranded on a warm and sunny day And you came my way
With every heartache we've traveled so far Every dark night has a day For every tear's sake we follow a star To the shelter of our love
Loneliness fades and happiness invades me With you in my life, you're the way to my serenity So undaunted, you and I have mended our seams and plights No situation's gonna steer us away from our eternity
With every heartache we've traveled so far Every dark night has a day For every tear's sake we follow a star To the shelter of our love
In a black room, you kissed my aging wound Then I saw without sight the true meaning of what real love can do And when you're with me, I'm never feeling empty I'm filled with your light, I'm satisfied I never cease to be surprised with joy for you
With every heartache we've traveled so far Every dark night has a day For every tear's sake we follow a star To the shelter of our love
Finding peace in the shelter of our love Every sweet in the shelter of our love An oasis in the desert is the shade over the sand Give me peace, give me shelter Oh, yeah, oh, yeah Shelter
With every heartache we've traveled so far Every dark night has a day For every tear's sake we follow a star To the shelter of our love
Strofe 1: Ze hebben meer dan ooit verloren De huizen waar ze zijn geboren Ze hebben alles zien verdwijnen in de zee Alleen de angst die is gebleven Waarmee ze verder moeten leven Want ze zullen nooit vergeten wat verdween
Zij zijn de vaders en de moeders Die naar hun kinderen blijven zoeken Die geloven tegen beterweten in Zij zijn degenen langs de stranden Met een foto in hun handen Die door de tranen in hun ogen zijn verblind
Refrein: Geef een teken Laat ze weten Dat ze niet alleen zijn daar Waar de wereld is vergaan Geef een teken Laat ze weten Dat ze niet alleen daar staan Waar de wereld is vergaan
Strofe 2: Er is nog zoveel om te delen Wij zijn zo vaak ontevreden Wij hebben meer dan ooit we hebben nooit genoeg In welke god wij ook geloven En welke dromen wij ook dromen We zijn allemaal gemaakt van vlees en bloed
Refrein
Strofe 3: Er is nog zoveel om te geven En ons hart is niet van steen Oeh laat ze zien wie wij zijn Laat ze niet alleen
Keep me coming back, keep me coming back Keep me coming back for more Keep me coming back, keep me coming back Keep me coming, keep me coming back for more
I was shook up, I was dazed I was hooked in a minute, I was so unashamed I was guilty, I was sin Baby, look at the mess that you got me in
You light the flame, unlock the chain, I'm past the pain You're making me lose it You've got a way to make me stay, I can't explain How you're making me do it
I already know where I'm going The moment my feet hit the floor 'Cause you really know how to get me, baby You keep me coming back for more You keep me coming back for more
No way over, no way 'round Baby, now that I'm in it, I don't wanna get out There's no night, there's no day All the will in the world wouldn't pull me away
You light the flame, unlock the chain, I'm past the pain You're making me lose it You've got a way to make me stay, I can't explain How you're making me do it
I already know where I'm going The moment my feet hit the floor 'Cause you really know how to get me, baby You keep me coming back for more Just when I thought I was leaving Before I can reach for the door You know how to push and pull me, baby You keep me coming back for more You keep me coming back for more
Keep me coming back, keep me coming back Keep me coming back for more Keep me coming back, keep me coming back Keep me coming, keep me coming back for more
You light the flame, unlock the chain, I'm past the pain You're making me lose it You've got a way to make me stay, I can't explain How you're making me do it
I already know where I'm going The moment my feet hit the floor 'Cause you really know how to get me, baby You keep me coming back for more Just when I thought I was leaving Before I can reach for the door You know how to push and pull me, baby You keep me coming back for more You keep me coming back for more
So many nights I agonized So low in self esteem And everything seemed darker than Before the light was seen I lost the hurt inside I found a better way I'm fragile, but not broken To start my life again
So hear me, I'm calling out to you now You are the answer to my prayers So take me, before this night is over Fragile not broken, I'll be there
And life is oh so dangerous So many times we fall But this love was meant for us Gave meaning to it all I'll hold my head up high Be strong, be dignified I'm brave enough to try again I've nothing left to hide
So hear me, I'm calling out to you now You are the answer to my prayers So take me, before this night is over Fragile not broken, I'll be there
Who'll be in your arms tonight?
Hear me, I'm calling out to you now You are the answer to my prayers So take me, before this night is over Fragile not broken, I'll be there Fragile not broken, I'll be there
All my life I dreamed in colors Every rainbow had a meaning, I discovered Everyone said I wouldn't last They all said I was a thing from the past... They tried to bring me down I had to swallow my pride Nobody knew what I knew I would survive!!!
For every tear I cried, every wish goes by Every dream I kept inside For every mile I walked, every race I lost Every day that I ran out of time Like every song I sang, everyone I've known Every night I spent alone Like every horizon, I'll keep on tryin' Like the sun I'll be risin'
oohhh
For every word that has been spoken There's been another rule that has been broken The door that was open Don't let them get in your head Negative words they spread The truth of it is I still believe!!!
For every tear I cried, every wish goes by Every dream I kept inside For every mile I walked, every race I lost Every day that I ran out of time Like every song I sang, everyone I've known Every night I spent alone Like every horizon, I'll keep on tryin' Like the sun I'll be risin'
Oh risin' ohh I'm gonna keep on I'm gonna keep on risin' Ohh risin' oh oh oh YEAH!
For every tear I cried, every wish goes by Every dream I kept inside For every mile I walked, every race I lost Every day that I ran out of time Like every song I sang, everyone I've known Every night I spent alone Like every horizon, I'll keep on tryin' Like the sun I'll be risin'
For every tear I cried, every wish goes by Every dream I kept inside For every mile I walked, every race I lost Every day that I ran out of time Like every song I sang, everyone I've known Every night I spent alone Like every horizon, I'll keep on tryin' Like the sun I'll be risin'
Every night 's a million years Since we're not together Time is crawlin', crawlin' Told myself I wouldn't call Should've known better 'Cause I'm fallin', Im fallin'
Catch my heart before it shatters And make me live again
If you think baby after so long That I'm over you baby you're so wrong I want you back Every time I kiss, I still kiss you No matter who it is, I still miss you I want you back, in my life I want you back, in my life
Don't know how it's been for you Are you seeing someone? Just tell me, are you happy? It's good to hear your voice again Better if you tell me you still want me 'Cause you still have me You're the one thing that matters Do I matter too?
If you think baby after so long That I'm over you baby you're so wrong I want you back Every time I kiss, I still kiss you No matter who it is, I still miss you I want you back, in my life I want you back, in my life
Maybe I'm living in dreamland Asking for a slap in the face But I just had to call you Just in case, just in case
Catch my heart before it shatters And make me live again
If you think baby after so long That I'm over you baby you're so wrong I want you back Every time I kiss, I still kiss you No matter who it is, I still miss you I want you back
If you think baby after so long That I'm over you baby you're so wrong I want you back, in my life I want you back, in my life I want you back...

I've had my share of losing just to keep you here You've had you share of winning Let's try to make it clear Now time has come for you to stop and wonder why This little girl has changed direction my oh my
You gonna cry You gonna sigh You gonna ask why is she leaving me Is there someone else Is there really nothing I can do about it
This time I'm gonna take over, over, over and I'll just take my time when I try my luck This time I'm gonna take over, over, over I really enjoy this life when I get my luck This time I'm gonna take over
You wanted me to be your lover sweet and kind But ere's some bad news: Cinderella has just resigned I'll take my silver shoes and walk right out the door I don't believe in your miracles anymore
You gonna cry You gonna sigh You gonna ask why is she sleaving me Is there someone else Is there really nothing I can do about it
This time I'm gonna take over, over, over And I'll just take my time when I try my luck This time I'm gonna take over, over, over Really enjoy this life when I get my luck This time I'm gonne take over
I'll put a diamond snake around my finger And bring it out for everyone to see No more hesitating no more lingering Just be the one that I can be
The devil in your eyes The sweetheart of a lie I'll but myself a Paris dress Oh baby and I couldn't care less This time
You gonna cry You gonna sigh You gonna ask why is she leaving me Is there someone else Is there really nothing I can do about it
This time I'm gonna take over, over, over And I'll just take my time when I try my luck This time I'm gonna take over, over, over Really enjoy this life when I get my luck This time I'm gonna take over
she wants me out of the action she's coming hard but this ain't the end of the battle it's just the start
I will not fold under fire I'm holding my spot when she wakes up back on the bottom I'll be on top
chorus: I've only begun to fight you ain't seen nothing yet I've just begun to fight to prove I'm the love of your life I'm gonna kiss every doubt from your lips, baby I've only begun to fight
It's more than just knowing you want it It's knowing how bad to keep it you got to be on it with all that you have
she thinks that she'll be the victress she should think twice Cause I'm in this game till the finish and I won't play nice
Chorus
You'll find every woman you need, right here I won't let you forget what you got I'm just getting hot
Chorus Don't count me out I've only begun to fight Don't count me out I've only begun to fight
I can`t live If living is without you I can`t live I can`t give anymore I can`t live If living is without you No I can`t forget this evening Or your face as you were leaving But I guess that`s just the way The story goes You always smile but in your eyes Your sorrow shows Yes, it shows
No I can`t forget tomorrow When I think of all my sorrow When I had you there But then I let you go And now it`s only fair That I should let you know What you should know
I can`t give I can`t give anymore
Well I can`t forget this evening Or your face as you were leaving But I guess that`s just the way The story goes You always smile but in your eyes Your sorrow show Yes it shows
I can`t live If living is without you I can`t live I can`t give anymore I can`t live If living is without you I can`t give I can`t give anymore
