To Be Able To Love
(K. Lundin/A. Carlsson)

I won't make no commitments no
I can't let myself just go
As much as I want to
My heart says no

I'm sorry but I can't stay
I hope that you'll forgive me
When I say

Chorus
Darling I
Don't have a heart for you right now
Somebody's playing with my mind
But all I'm dreaming of
Is to be able to love

I can't give you no guarantees
If that's what you want from me
I should have known better
But now you see

I'm sorry but I can't stay
I hope that you'll forgive me
When I say

(Chorus)

All I want is to treat you right
But I know I can't pretend
It will take just a little longer
Finding the key to love again

(Chorus)
 

Missing You Crazy
(M. Martin/J. Skinner)

Where is the love we always said would always stay
How could we come this far and let it slip away
Friends tell me just be strong and take it with a smile
But they never see the pain that hides behind my eyes

Cause I can't deny my passion for you
As hard as I try It always breaks through

Chorus
I'm missing you crazy
It's breaking me down
I'm missing you crazy
I keep losing ground

Too many empty days and nights since you've been gone
So hard this getting used to being on my own
My mind says I should be taking your pictures off the wall
But although my poor heart is breaking I still believe you'll call

Cause I can't deny my passion for you
As hard as I try It always breaks through

(Chorus)

Friends tell me just be strong and take it with a smile
All hearts can heal in time, but mine will take a while
You never gave me reasons, never told me why
You only said you´re leaving, even as I cried
 

Crash Like A Wrecking Ball
(F. Thomander/A. Wikström)

Feel the ground move
The floor start to shake
Get into the groove
And rock like an earthquake
Play you like a fool
And beat you like a drum
Breaking every rule
The fun is just begun

Six will turn to nine
Water into wine
When you see the sign in the sky

Chorus
I'm gonna
Crash like a wrecking ball
On your feet feel the heat
Dance like an animal, tonight
Crash like a wrecking ball
In the seat to the beat
Wild wicked wonderful damn right

There's something going on
A magic in the air
Deeper than the see
Higher then the stratosphere
Temperature rise
All systems go
Got fire in your eyes
Naked to the bone

Writings on the wall
It's a miracle
Waiting for the hammer to fall

(Chorus)

Writings on the wall
It's a miracle
Waiting for the wrecking ball to fall
Six will turn to nine
Water into wine
When you see the sign in the sky

Six will turn to nine
Water into wine
When you see the sign in the sky

(Chorus)
 

Tonight
(K. Lundin/A. Carlsson)

We´re running on empty
And every heartbeat´s out of time
It's hurting within me
We have to slow down here for a while

And just make the time for some loving again
Save a better tomorrow
Let's take it back to where we started
Here and now

Chorus
Cause Tonight it's our time
There's no reason for pretending
Yes Tonight you'll be mine
Let this love be neverending

I sit and remember
The day when our love was young and free
We promised forever
It's time for a change in you and me

And just make the time for some loving again
Save a better tomorrow
Let's take it back to where we started
Here and now

(Chorus)

I know we´ll find a way to get through
This time it's up to me and you
Let´s sail from the darkness into the light
And we'll be allright

I got a feeling that we can't deny
You are right cause tonight is our time
Everything is up to you and I

(Chorus)
 

If I Was Your Girl
(A. Hill/J. McLaughlin)

She don't understand what she's got
She don't realise she's got the lot
I've got my pride but in this circumstance
I´d step in her shoes given half the chance

So when you´re tired of her not appreciating
There's a tender love right here waiting

Chorus
If, I was your girl
All of my world would be in sunshine
If, I was your girl
I'd cherish the day
And I'd make you mine
If, I was your girl

Ooh, it would mean that much to me
If, I could be in your arms constantly
I would not let you down the way that she does
And it seems to me it's obvious
If it's a mutual love that you´re contemplating
Just call my name, and I'll be waiting

(Chorus)

They say love is blind, especially when you´re in it
Step out into the light, If only for a minute
Say the word and let's begin it

(Chorus)
 

I Know Love
(T. Champlin/D. Carr)

I can see by that far away look in your eyes
You've got some secrets to tell
Makes me wonder Do you really know me so well?

First you tell me
You wanna be my everything
You couldn't prove that by me
When I'm alone
What am I supposed to believe?
Well try to understand

Chorus
I know love-If you play with my emotions
Make me cry
That won't fly
Just forget that silly notion
But if you
Really wanna be my only
You know you´re gonna have to show me

Something real
Something good
Baby, I know love

There's no mistaken
You think that love is just a game
Why must I be last in line?
You drive me crazy
Talk to me in riddles and rhymes
You think that I am doin´ just fine
Stop wastin´ all my time, baby

(Chorus)

(Love) is no more than just a memory
I won't be hangin´ on a string
Baby when I look into your eyes baby

(chorus)
 

Been And Gone
(B. Champlin/D. Carr)

I never needed someone to depend on
I was always alone
But when it came to love
There was nobody home

I was livin´ with no- one to lean on
Then you happened along
And when you came my way
The walls came tumbling down
Big change came over me
You brought me something I´d never seen
And you became the someone I'd always need

Chorus
Don't walk away, and leave me this way
I don't want to be alone
Believin´ in love that's been and gone
I'm runnin´ free, with no melody
Just a heart without a song
Believin´ in love that's been and gone

I was livin´ for one situation
Love didn't matter at all
I didn't need a thing
I never heard the call

I was givin´ up no information
So, I got nothin´ at all
I was blind to what I
Needed most of all

One kiss, and it came to me
You made me something I'd always be and you
Became the someone I'd always need (repeat chorus)

(Chorus)

Something went wrong
It's so hard to carry on
When one is still in love
How can I live without you now
I don't wanna turn around
Not after all we´ve  found
I don't wanna´ go there
I Just don't wanna live without you
And I just wanna´ stay in love

(Chorus)
 

Love You like A Fool
(J. Elofsson/D. Carr)

To be or not to be
It doesn't mean that much to me
Kiss me and set me free
You can do that (you can do that)
So what's it gonna be
Real love or poetry
Kiss me and set me free
You can do that (you can do that)

But if you treat me like a dog
I´ll be leaping like a frog
If you ever let me down
You will loose me baby
I am sure of what I want
So tell me what to do

Chorus
Should I love you like a fool
Or should I stop and play it cool
What is good enough for you
To make it happen
Let me stay or let me go
Either way I got to know
What is good enough for you
To make it happen
What about you

Sweet love good or bad
This is the best I ever had
Kiss me and set me free
You can do that (you can do that)
Play me like a symphony
I don't mind the mistery
I am sure of what I want
But what about you
Love you like a fool

(Chorus)

Come on inside
It's drivin´ me crazy
Am I alone to feel this way
Come on inside
Tell me I am wasted
Or show me that I´m the one to
Love you like a fool

(Chorus)

Cuz I love you like a fool
Yes I love you like a fool
Let me stay or let me go
Either way I got to know
What is good enough for you
To make it happen
What about you
 

Punk
(F. Thomander/A. Wikström)

If you´re safe you´re sorry
You won´t see the edge
Roll the dice and watch it
Hit the ground, one of six...
Slick and ordinary
Is so predictable
Rather be a little
Up and down in and out

Chorus
There´s a brand new regime
I might not save the queen
All I need is some sweet anarchy

If you put a little punk in all that you do
Better put a little punk in saying it too
There´s a fire still burning inside of you
If you put a little punk in all that you do

If you like it fancy
That´s not who I am
More like Sid and Nancy
Don´t look back, never plan
I´m a pogo gogo
Wham bam thankyou, man
Take a seat and watch me
Rip it up and tear it down

(Chorus)

It´s always up to you
No matter what you do
Don´t let nobody push you around
A little tooth and nail
And you will never fail
So get your back end off the ground

If you want like you need it
And you never get a break
You can tell´ em all to shove it...

If you put a little punk in all that you do
Better put a little punk in saying it too
There´s a fire still burning inside of you
If you put a little punk in all that you do
 

Miracles
(A. Carlson/B. Champlin/T. Champlin/D. Carr)

Candlelight, throws a shadow on your cloudy eyes
And I get lost in you
Late at night, I'm feelin´ something that I can't disguise
So, I get to close to you

Chorus
Well, I can't believe that you and I
Never came to this
All those nights with you right by my side
Waiting for one kiss
Do you believe in miracles
Can you feel it when I'm close to you
And baby, do you believe
I believe in you

Here we are, drifting slowly on a morning star
And I hope it never ends

(Chorus)

Do you believe that we can change the world
All we need is a love that's true
And baby, do you believe
I believe in you

You hold the key to my world,
In your hands
Between a woman and a man

Do you believe in miracles
Can you feel it when I'm close to you
You know my heart beats in time with the things you do
Do you believe we can change the world
All we need is a love that's true
And baby, do you believe
I believe in you

Baby, do you believe
I believe in you
 

Wish I Were The One
(B. Champlin/T. Champlin/D. Carr)

We started with a fire, straight up from the heart
Burnin´ so bright, lighting up the night with desire
From the very start could something so good be
Something so right?
Who knew you would fall for talkin´
Believe in a stranger´s words
When rumors lead to walkin´
Are all our bridges burned?

Chorus
If you had a chance to forgive me
If we could undo the things we've done
Wish I were the one, wish I were the one
You were leanin´ on
If you need a reason to believe me
Look into your heart the way I´ve done
Wish I were the one, wish I were the one
You were leanin´ on

I never saw it comin´, caught me by surprise
Just when we were rollin´
You left me high and dry all alone
Stumbling through the night
Wonderin´ what went wrong when it used to be so right
I know that you got your reasons
I know you believe those words
I don't wanna see you leavin´
Are all our bridges burned?

(Chorus)

When it all comes down to love
(Still wish I were the one)
After all is said and done

(Chorus)
 

Dis-Moi Pourquoi
(K. Lundin/J. Schulze/H. Crichlow)

J´ai rêvé d´un amour pur
Comme un soleil d´hiver
Un rayon de lumière
J´aurais baissé les armures
Je me donn´rais entière
Dans la douceur chaude d´une nuit claire

L´amour est simple dans mes songes
Et pourtant
Tu m´as bercée de mensonges
Tu es parti sans rien dire
Sans même me prévenir
Est-ce ainsi que tout doit finir?

(Chorus)
Dis-moi pourquoi
Pourquoi mon rêve finit déjà
(J´ai besoin de toi)
Et pourquoi
Pourquoi l´amour coule sous mes doigts
Oh dis-moi pourquoi

Et dans mes rêves j´étais prête
A sacrifier tout pour toi
Tu étais mon étoile
Ces baisers que tu donnais
Ils résonnaient fort en moi
Comme le vent qui gonfle sous la voile

Amour éternel et parfait
Tu jurais
Que si la mort nous prenait
Tu resterais près de moi
Tu lierais ton sort à moi
Pourquoi ma vie n´est pas comme ça?

(Chorus)
Et pourquoi
Pourquoi mon rêve finit déjà
(J´ai besoin de toi)
Et pourquoi
Pourquoi l´amour coule sous mes doigts
Oh dis-moi pourquoi

Et je n´peux rien faire contre ça
Tu vis là, en moin (là en moi)
Je n´peux pas me passer de toi
Je n´y arrive pas

(Chorus)
Baby, won´t you tell me, tell me why
I want you here
Oh, baby, baby, please just tell me why
I feel so lonely

Please just, baby, tell me why
Why can´t you be here by my side?
Someone to hold onto
Tell me why
Why can´t we be together?
You´re all that I believe in
Please, just tell me why...
