He knew how to reach me deep inside And he found a part of me I could not hide And we'd walk and talk and touch tenderly Then he'd lay me down and make love to me We built a love so strong and couldn't break There was not a road we were afraid to take And we'd kiss all the way from Arkansas to Rome 'Cause in each other's arms we were home sweet home But he don't feel the same Since our lives became Years of bills, babies and chains Home ain't where his heart is anymore He may hang his hat behind our bedroom door But he don't lay his head down to love me like before Home ain't where his heart is anymore If foundations made of stone can turn to dust Then the hardest hearts of steel can turn to rust If he could only find that feeling once again If we could only change the way the story ends And he may still come home But I live here alone The love that built these walls is gone Home ain't where his heart is anymore He may hang his hat behind our bedroom door But he don't lay his head down to love me like before He don't lay his head down to love me like before Home ain't where his heart is anymore No, home ain't where his heart is

I'm not always strong And sometimes I'm even wrong But I win when I choose And I can't stand to lose But I can't always be The rock that you see When the nights get too long And I just can't go on The woman in me Needs you to be The man in my arms To hold tenderly Cause I'm a woman in love And it's you I run to Yeah the woman in me Needs the man in you When the world wants too much And it feels cold and out of touch It's a beautiful place When you kiss my face The woman in me Needs you to be The man in my arms To hold tenderly Cause I'm a woman in love And it's you I run to Yeah the woman in me Needs the man in you Yeah the woman in me Needs the man in you I need you baby Yeah yeah Oh baby...

Every road had a rainbow And every wish had a star Every tear had a shoulder to cry on And every night had guitars But every fool's a lonely fool And such a fool am I 'Cause every night I think of you And every night I die Is there life after love? Some things aren't certain But some things I'm sure of Like angels in heaven And God up above But is there life after love? You gave me forgiveness But you could not forget No, I should never have told you What I'll live to regret The truth lies between us And I can't take it back No, it's too late for lyin' now It's too late for that Is there life after love? Some things aren't certain But some things I'm sure of Like angels in heaven And God up above But is there life after love? Here I am, there you are We're so far apart Let's pretend that I've never been In his hands, in his heart Can't we just start All over again? Is there life after love? Some things aren't certain But some things I'm sure of Like angels in heaven And God up above But is there life after love? Is there life after love?

It takes two to tango And two lips to seal a kiss But a flame and a candle Won't burn on a night like this If it don't take two It takes two to go one way And two winds to be strong enough But you can't sail on a still day Like two ships on a sea of love If it don't take two Noah knew what he had to do Ooh oh yeah He sent us out in the world walkin' two by two Oh... If it don't take two If it don't take two If it don't take two And if I'm not with you No it ain't worth goin' through If it don't take two It takes two hearts with one beat And it takes two to say I do But the champagne won't taste sweet And the dream just won't come true If it don't take two Noah knew what he had to do, oh yeah He sent us out in the world walkin' two by two, me and you If it don't take two If it don't take two If it don't take two And if I'm not with you No it ain't worth goin' through If it don't take two He sent us out in the world walkin' two by two Me and you Baby...

Remember me the way I was The way I'd make you late for work I had to hold you, just because Remember you the way you'd wake me up To love me once again We were lovers, we were friends But was I chasin' rainbows Blinded by the sun And did I take for granted I'd be the only one? I didn't know you were so lonely Am I to blame for makin' you that way? Did I neglect all that mattered? With my head so far above The clouds I didn't see That it was raining on our love Remember when, just to feel my touch Was all you ever needed Oh it used to be enough Remember when love Was a promise we would give our lives to keep And no river ran as deep But was I chasin' rainbows Blinded by the sun And did I take for granted I'd be the only one? I didn't know you were so lonely Am I to blame for makin' you that way? Did I neglect all that mattered? With my head so far above The clouds I didn't see That it was raining on our love I was taking all the love you had to give But I was too lost in life to know That without my love in return you could not live Now she gives the love I did not show I didn't know you were so lonely Am I to blame for makin' you that way? Did I neglect all that mattered? With my head so far above The clouds I didn't see That it was raining on our love

I'm not sayin' I have all the answers And I don't care who's right or wrong I'm tryin' to pick up the pieces already fallen And put them back where they belong So slow down your horses Stop draggin' me around And if cryin' is the only way into your heart Then leavin' is the only way out We've slammed every door in anger And we've opened wounds we can't mend And one night lonely is one night too many Don't wanna wake up to one more night that won't end So slow down your horses Stop draggin' me around And if cryin' is the only way into your heart Then leavin' is the only way out When late nights and long lies came knockin' You just invited them in And our voices got too loud for talkin' Then my heart hit the floor But your feet just kept walkin' And if cryin' is the only way you hear me hurtin' For the lovin' that I can't live without And if lovin' ain't the only way into your heart Then leavin' is the only way out Oh, leavin' is the only way out

Am I dreamin' or stupid? I think I've been hit by Cupid But no one needs to know right now I met a tall, dark and handsome man And I've been busy makin' big plans But no one needs to know right now I got my heart set, my feet wet And he don't even know it yet But no one needs to know right now I'll tell him someday some way somehow But I'm gonna keep it a secret for now I want bells to ring, a choir to sing The white dress the guests the cake the car the whold darn thing But no one needs to know right now I'll tell him someday some way somehow But I'm gonna keep it a secret for now We'll have a little girl a little boy A little Benji we call Leroy But no one needs to know right now And I'm not lonely anymore at night And he don't know only only he can make it right And I'm not lonely anymore at night And he don't know only only he can make it right I'm not dreamin' or stupid But boy have I been hit by Cupid But no one needs to know right now No one needs to know right now...

Hallelujah, hallelujah, God bless the child who suffers Hallelujah, hallelujah, God bless the young without mothers This child is homeless, That child's on crack One plays with a gun, while the other takes a bullet in his back This boy's a beggar, That girl sells her soul They both work the same street, The same hell hole Hallelujah, hallelujah, God bless the child who suffers Hallelujah, hallelujah, Let every man help his brother Some are born addicted and some are just thrown away Some have daddies who make them play games they don't want to play But with hope and faith We must understand All God's children need is love And us to hold their little hands This boy is hungry, he ain't got enought to eat That girl's cold and she ain't got no shoes on her feet When a child's spirit's broken And feels all hope is gone God help them find the strength to carry on But with hope and faith Yea, we can understand All God's children need is love And us to hold their little hands Hallelujah, hallelujah Let us all love one another Hallelujah, hallelujah Make all our hearts bilnd to color Hallelujah, hallelujah God bless the child who suffers
