Daddy please help me understand 'Cause I think it's startin' to get out of hand, lately I thought these hormones were under control Now they all want to be with me body and soul I thought that love was a four letter word Till you came into my room last night...

The blood of a country’s on the street tonight There’s madness all around Their children are hungry while their mothers weep I can’t forget the sound We are lost and alone Doesn’t anybody care Keep us safe Free from harm They say this silent prayer All we ne...

Oh I'm man enough, to rescue any agent, face reality I'm alive for now, a prisoner of devotion, so throw away the key I wear those chains like precious jewels 'Cause I'm man enough to offer no resistance, be detained by you No one should be alone in the dark...

Don't know how love survives When all I can do is to barely stay alive Wish I could go back in time To a bedsit paradise She sat down next to me Dunked her biscuit in my tea You don't need sugar You're sweet enough for me Told me she was movin' in We'd be sh...

She turns you on, from across the floor You're tracin' every move she makes, on her way out the door You'd sell your soul just to know her name The feelin' that she gives you, is somethin' you just can't explain You're tellin' me you fantasize, about her lacy...

I've had a dream Since I was just a boy Eighteen today And I need a new toy I can taste it I can feel it I can see that Silverado in my mind My baby's ridin' with me By my side Feelin' like the coolest guy alive With that big bad Silverado In my drive Well...

Blame it on the moonlight, blame it on the radio I just wanna hold her tight, and never let her go Maybe it's her blue eyes, or maybe it's her sweet hello I just know it feels so right, I gotta let her know Yeah! Who's that girl walking down the street, who'...

My heart is beating like a drum This lifetime moment has come It’s in me It’s in you The sacred thread Red, white and blue We are bound by the thread of the flag Sing it loud Sing it proud Let the heavenly choir sound We are bound by the thread of the flag...

Introducing, from Brockton, Massachusetts Heavy weight, captain of the wild, Rocky Marciano I was on the road to nowhere, just these six strings to my name On the run from one more one-night stand, seekin' pleasure in the pain Shinin' like a diamond in the s...

Headin' down this iron road These six strings on my back Must be twenty years or more Since this train roared down the track Sometimes I hear the whistle blowin' Conductor shoutin' all aboard But I'm rustin' in the stockyard Said that's all I was good for I...

Hi girls, I'm back, yeah Love, so good, so good, and I want you to know Love, so good, so good, there ain't no lettin' go Breakin' down your sugar walls, taste so sweet, resistance falls Ooh, so good, so fine, so right Breakin' down ya door, beggin' you for...

You can play any game you wanna play, don't play with my affection You can say anything you wanna say, so talk in my direction Don't tell me "I want to", don't lead me on 'Cause when we dance, see our bodies synchronise, moving close together Pretty words, pou...

Under your protective wing I walked into the night And a thousand angry demons up and took flight I went running through the fields with the fever in my veins And the rain came crashing down and tried to clear my name Above my head, all in red, I could see you...

I suppose the record shows that I'm a loser now All I need is one more chance, oh baby I've been waiting a lifetime for someone like you I promise you this time, that I can really see it through Don't worry 'bout me, that's all ancient history Ooh baby you ma...

Once there was a man Who believed in something He could see the truth through lies Signed the dotted line In blood for country Tired of hearin' children cry And you know it's true I know he's out there He'll see it through To the end Didn't sign for twenty D...

You'll soon get over it, you'll find somebody new You're better off out of it, that girls no good for you Cry if you wanna cry, shout if you wanna shout Why don't you let it out, but they don't realise I heard it all a million times, tried to explain, but he...

You walk in the room and the walls cave in Dazed and confused, then the pain kicks in All you give is all you get, No good looking for some sympathy No delusions, no regrets You can pick your friends, Can't choose your enemies We all need some good relations...

Pretty girl on your daddy's knee Candy kisses taste so sweet Can't believe how my little girl has grown Standin' here in your prom-queen dress A few more years and she'll fly the nest I still believe my baby's eight years old When she saw those towers fall...

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Do you ever feel, feel so paper-thin Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in? Do you ever feel already buried deep? Six feet under scream, no one hears a thing Do yo...

When they look lost and all alone, maybe staring at the phone Let me tell you that's the time, I make my play A cup of coffee usually buys me in, pretty soon the game begins And while I'm staring in their eyes, they don't realize There ain't no way they c...

It ain't the size of the boat It's the motion in the ocean Don't need the tallest ship To cross the widest sea It ain't the size of the boat It's the lovin' and devotion Somebody listen, somebody please Hey honey please don't tease 'Cause what you see, is wha...

Caught that look in your eye, he's back again Told me time after time, he's just a friend I need to know, I can't go on, I won't survive without you You said you'd laid that ghost to rest, why don't you confess It's startin' all over again, if this is the sta...

I don't want to be the reckless one, The man with the gun I don't want to be the reckless one I had it, I lost control, The chance I'd hungered for, out the door Heard it on the peacetime radio, The ratings were low I heard it on the peacetime radio Now it...
