will you risk your reputation – i don’t know
you just don’t know what you’re sayin’ – anymore
you know beggars can’t be choosers – and it’s fair
we may win we may be losers – i don’t care no no no
baby – i just can’t stand another lonely night
so come on over and save me
save me from another lonely night
I hear every word your saying – they’re all lies
but with every breath you’re taking
your thinking of ways to say good night
i got one hand on your door and one hand in my pocket
the world is on my shoulders and i’m trying to get to you
and i’m getting pretty worried now that Ronnie’s in the office
i shouldn’t let it get to me – there’s nothin’ i can do
think that you should by now
you’ve done the damage and it can’t be changed..
so give me one good reason – one good reason to stay
well i knew that you were sleepin’ and i didn’t wanna wake you
cuz this troubled look i got my make you change your mind
there’s no need for conversation
there’s no reason to forsake you
i was lookin’ for the answers but there’s nothin’ here to find

now you took your love from me
when you needed it most
i wanted you so desperately
baby don’t look now cuz i’m comin’ around
you planned it all so carefully you’d just fade into black
and even in your wildest dreams you never thought i’d be back
so you thought you’d seen the last of me but you better think twice
cuz you can’t fool me that easily
oh baby don’t look now cuz i’m comin’ around
all those nights i’ve spent alone
uninspired – so tired and wasted
there’s lots of times i’d of telephoned
but i couldn’t find the words to say
i’m comin’ home – i’m comin home
i’ll make it short – i’ll make it sweet
i’ll make it up to you i mean it
i’m not the same guy i used to be
what can i do to make you believe it?
i’m comin’ home – i’m comin home
only seems like yesterday, you and i were sayin’ goodbye
now i’m just a few miles away i’m gonna see you tonight
i’ve been alone and i’ve lived the pain
i reached for you in desperation
i was wrong i’ll take the blame
i need ya back now i just can’t wait
i’m comin’ home – i’m comin home
Written by: Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance 1981
waitin here for the workin day to end
five o’clock and these walls just move in closer
you get home so down and worn out – it’s understood
it fits ya good
was a time you were bringin’ me down
but I know – it’s just the way you look at life
you don’t know like I know baby
i did all that i could
but it fits ya good
I can’t complain about the way we’ve tried
So maybe it’s the time to say good-bye
Not gonna look around
I’m just gonna look away
Don’t put the reasons back in my head
You said you loved me now you left me for dead
Oh, I just can’t stand it this way
Oh oh jealousy coming over me
It’s that jealousy breaking my heart
Oh oh jealousy taking control of me
Now you just gotta know – that I can’t let go
And it’s time that you knew – I can’t stop loving you
You say I’m a sentimental fool
But all I try to do is go with you
Not gonna look around I’m just gonna look away
It’s been a battle since you broke my heart
I tell you now that it’s been coming down hard
Oh I just can’t stand another day
Oh oh jealousy coming over me
It’s that jealousy breaking my heart
Jealousy, I’m so jealous
who you gonna run to
now your ass is on the line
who you think you’re fooling
we ain’t got the time
don’t try to tell me
who was wrong or right
we don’t see eye to eye
there’s no point in trying to change it at all
tonight, tonight let’s leave it alone
leave it alone tonight
we can’t change it at all
forget the things i told you
let’s just sleep on it for now
it’s your misunderstanding
i don’t want to hear you out
two wrongs baby, they don’t make a right
it’s hardly worth the heartache
so let’s leave it alone, leave it alone
tonight, tonight let’s leave it alone
leave it alone tonight
we can’t change it at all
i think i told you maybe once or twice before
he’ll only hold you down and leave you wanting more
but you refused to listen babe so this is where you’ll stay
if you weren’t so bloody juvenille you be somewhere today
if you want it – you got it
if you want it – you got it
if you want it – you got it
if you want it – you got it now
you think you’re on the brink but i got news for you
i think it’s time to start believin’ your reviews
you stood me up and shot me down so many times before
but droppin’ names and playin’ games won’t get you through my door
Well you take it all for granted
So it should come as no surprise
That your big balloon is gonna burst
Right before your eyes
Well you always call your mama
Just for sympathy
Well I tried to show you years ago
So don’t come cryin’ to me
And it’s your last chance, the night is over
Last chance for love
Well you can blame it on the bossa nova
But can’t blame me when I’m gone
Well you call me up for favours
You say that it’s my turn
Well I think I’ll stand on Mulholland Drive
And watch you bridges burn
Well I saw your guardian angel
He said I can’t refuse
Well I’d take the chance
But it’s hard to dance
In size 8 concrete shoes
Well it’s your last chance, the night is over
Last chance for love
Well you can blame it on the bossa nova
Can’t blame me when I’m gone
Yeah Fuck You…
Everything’s been said, A hundred times
Everything’s been said, A hunderd times
Then I know, if I know you
It takes one more time
No one holds the night,
The way you do
No one holds the night
The way you do
Then I know, If I know you
It takes one more night
No one makes it right
Like you do – like you do
No one makes it right
Like you do – like you do
No one makes it right like you
I guess you’re moving out
So you say
I guess you’re moving out
So you say
Oh I know if I know you
I’ve got no more say
No one makes it right
Like you do – like you do
No one makes it right
Like you do – like you do
No one makes it right like you
I said it once I said it always
