If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right If being right means being without you I'd rather live a wrong than right My mama and daddy say it's a shame It's a downright disgrace But as long as I got you by my side I don't care what my people say My friend...

Babe, somewhere I know I'm gonna find it, babe. It'll have my love behind it. And it will be a symphony of all you mean to me. A Very Special Love Song And babe, if there's a way you know I'm gonna say it babe, If there's a melody I'll play it. I'll play it t...

Ain't it good to have someone to talk to someone you can trust and be proud of Ain't it good to know he needs you and always does his best to please you Ain't it good just be in love Nights are never cold since I've got strong arms to hold me Warm lips to kiss...

Hello baby, I'm sorry I said The things I did, it was a silly fight I was wrong you were right What I really mean to say is You can eat crackers in my bed anytime, baby You can kick off all the covers in the middle of the night You can sleep with the window o...

Take me to heart and I'll always love you And nobody can make me do wrong Take me for granted, leaving love unsure Makes will power weak and temptation strong A woman's only human You should understand She's not just a plaything She's flesh and blood just lik...

Your hand is like a torch each time you touch me That look in your eye pulls me apart Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in Don't touch me if you don't love me, sweetheart Your kiss is like a drink when I'm thirsty And I'm thirsty for you with all...

I changed my number, I gave you back my picture I said you're someone I don't wanna see I told my friends at work it wasn't worth the hurt But it's a different story when I go to sleep Chorus Dreams don't lie - dreams don't lie I say I don't love you but the...

There's an eight lane highway out in L.A. Headed nowhere Every day is a rat race, they're fighting for first place It's like a nightmare It's a life of mass confusion, it's a heavy load I'm ready to trade the fast lane for a country road There's a New York s...

It's not over when you stop crying and it's the end when you say goodbye And it's not finally done when you just walk away from someone Cause love takes a long time it takes such a long time to die There'll be times when you're alone you'll softly speak her na...
