Eric Carmen

Everybody says we're through now I have heard them say, the love we've shared is through Even if I have to hear these words from you now, baby I'm gonna keep on lovin', lovin' you There ain't nothing gonna stop me There ain't nothing gonna stop me Ain't noth...

When I was young I never needed anyone And making love was just for fun Those days are gone Livin' alone I think of all the friends I've known When I dial the telephone Nobody's home All by myself Don't wanna be All by myself Anymore Hard to be sure Sometime...

Love was in her heart But I had dreams to find before I could see I asked her if she’d wait for me But I was gone too long Tears were in her eyes She said I took our love and threw it away And nothin’ I could do or say Could bring it back again I was tryin’ t...

Hey now, sugar Let me buy you a drink Don’t you tell me your last name I won’t recognize you after tonight ’cause you just won’t look the same Well I could look for an hour or two Trying to find someone just like you Why don t you sit right down? Have a doubl...

I thought that dreams belonged to other men ’cause each time I got close They’d fall apart again I feared my heart would beat in secrecy I faced the nights alone Oh, how could I have known That all my life I only needed you? Whoa Almost paradise We’re knocki...

On this night On any hot, summer night Every girl Every red-blooded boy Is cryin' out With one great voice They wanna jump They wanna turn up the noise And that's the sound That's the thunderin' sound Of clappin' hands And of stompin' their feet Coast to coas...

Baby I need your lovin’ Baby I need your lovin’ Although you’re never near Your voice I often hear Another day, another night I long to hold you tight ’cause I’m so lonely Baby, I need your lovin’ I got to have all your lovin’ Baby, I need your lovin’ Got to...

I know it's over You know it's over We're just goin' through the motions But we're sailin' separate oceans world's apart And you know it's breakin' my heart I was a dreamer You were a dreamer But perfection is consuming And it seems we're only human after all...

Where did your long hair go ? Where is the girl I used to know? How could you lose that happy glow ? Oh, Caroline, no… Who took that look away? I remember how you used to say You’d never change, but that’s not true Oh, Caroline, you... Break my heart I want...

I like the colors I like the way they move They’re all so brilliantly realized They just could not be improved I love the way the sex is so overt I love the way the violence doesn’t hurt It’s a cartoon world It’s exactly as it seems And it’s bigger than life...

I can still recall When we said that our love was forever All those plans we made For tomorrow that looked so bright And I understand All the reasons you gave me for leavin’ But that doesn’t help When I’m sleepin’ alone each night So if you ever have a change...

If you want me to wait forever I will And though you say you may love me never You will A love as strong as mine You shouldn’t be denied, my love You’ll end up by my side Just wait and see me If you want me to wait forever I will And though you say you may l...

I hear you crying Through a long distance line Now you’re finally saying It was good to be mine But you couldn’t throw it ’cause you didn’t know it And now You want to come back Come back to my love You want to come back Come back to my love Bring the guitar...

Get up in the morning Check out the weather If it looks like sun I get my things together Throw some cutoffs on Got my tank-top and tennies now And head for the beach Well I’m drivin’ down the highway Losin’ all my patience Pushin’ all the buttons Tryin’ to f...

Cry if you feel lonely And you know you can't make the grade Now that you realize you should've stayed And if you feel the way I do I want you to cry your eyes out I'm cryin' too Never thought I'd never see the day I'd be happy to set you free But you made a...

I’ve been up too high I’ve been down too low I’ve been searchin’ for somethin’ With nowhere to go Thought I’d make it alone But I’m so far from home In a town full of desperate fools Oh, the sun beats down On the l.a. scene But you can’t feel the cold When th...

Long hot days We’ll be catchin’ the rays (oh baby) long hot days We’ll be catchin’ the rays You know my tape deck is blastin’ My car’s fast When school lets out And the summer’s here We’ll have some time for the sun Throw my notebooks out And put my car in ge...

When I think of all your lovin’, it makes me shiver ’cause when I get home just wait till I get you alone Ecstasy, when you touch me I’m in ecstasy No one else could do the thing you do Let me please you, too, tonight Ecstasy, when you kiss me I’m in ecstasy...

Things are so wrong I know how hard it must seem But honey, I need you beside me now People get angry They say things they don't mean We're gonna make it work somehow Whoa, and darlin' It's not the end of the world As long as you love me As long as you love m...

I said, come on, yeah! Come on, ooh! I’ve been lookin’ for someone Just like you I said, come on, yeah! Come on, ooh! Together we could find out What to do It’s not easy when you fall in love But I’m willin’ to try, yes I am ’cause I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout l...

You just strap on that guitar And you can make yourself a star And look at everything With a jaded nonchalance You've got money, you've got fame You've got coast-to-coast acclaim You've got everything That a man could ever want verything 

When this world gets a little crazy There’s a place here just for you Come around and I’ll be waiting Baby, I’ll chase away your blues ’cause no one else compares with you baby No one makes me feel like you do I wanna hear you whisper my name Everytime I mak...

Seems so crazy, but I guess it’s true Girl, you’ve really got a hold on me Well I’ve been hurt before So now I must be sure Are you feelin’ it too Maybe this time it’s true Or am I foolin’ myself Once again I’ve got to know for sure That I’m not foolin’ mysel...

Baby, don't you know that I couldn't share you So, if you're coming back we'll get things straight It's been so long since the day you left me I never thought that I'd have to wait Get it moving back my way Oh, I couldn't live another day without your love Ge...

We've been goin' together so long Can't you feel that there's somethin' wrong? You only take me half way there, Come on (Come on) Come on (Come on) We can't go on this way While three's nothin' more to say Get the message (Come on now, come on now) Get the me...

I never knew how complete love could be Till she kissed me and said, Baby, please go all the way, It feels so right Being with you here tonight, Please, go all the way, Just hold me close Don’t ever let me go I couldn’t say what I wanted to say Till she whisp...

Your love Is softer than the rain Smile and ease the pain And heal my mind again I've got to turn away to keep myself from cryin' But everywhere I turn, I only see you I need your lovin' baby Got to have your lovin' baby I need your lovin' baby I've got to...
