Like Lovers Do
(Words and music:
Jude Cole)
Rain falls from
southern skies
I got a river
falling from my eyes
It's a bad desire
for another world
I break down
in the dark of night
Where is she
goin' in a dress so tight
You should be
waiting for me…Victoria
Now who do I
turn to
Oh, I can't
keep it inside, keep it inside, keep it inside
I wanna go where
the lovers go
I wanna know
what lovers know
Walking the
dark nights alone with you
Like lovers
do, like lovers do
Come and take
me far from home
I'm so tired
of being alone
I got a bad
attraction and it's you tonight
You don't know
it but I'm watching you
And I'm seeing
everything that you do
The only thing
between us is a neon light
Now who do I
turn to
Oh, I can't
keep it inside, keep it inside, keep it inside
I wanna go where
the lovers go
I wanna know
what lovers know
Walking the
dark nights alone with you
Like lovers
do, like lovers do
If all of the
angels came down from the skies
I'd show them
that heaven was right in your eyes
(now wouldn't
I)
I wanna go where
lovers go
I wanna know
what lovers know
Walking the
dark nights, me and you
Like lovers
do, like lovers
Anytime you want
my love
You know you've
got it right there in the palm of your hand
So while you're
walking unaware
I know that
there's a memory baby, somewhere in there
Remember that
I don't give up
No, no I don't
give up when my heart's on the line
Let's break
it down and start again
This time with
walls that bend
'Cause pretending
we're not friends is only a lie
You shake it
like a little girl
Walking through
the city with your plastic pearls
And I just can't
believe how
Those falling
stars and singles bars are part of your world now
You put your
feet in the dirt of the firing line
Let's break
it down and start again
This time with
walls that bend
'Cause pretending
we're not friends is only a lie
We'll work it
out, to the end
And just like
it all began
I know that
we can mend two bad broken hearts
Only your love
can break down my pride
So if you want
to wait forever, you can do it girl
But there's
not a lot of heaven here without you in my world
Let's break
it down and start again
This time with
walls that bend
Pretending it's
the end is only a lie
It's over now,
that's plain to see
But so hard
to understand
Why you were
looking for a love
When it was
right there, right there in your hand
You were in
my heart, when you walked out that door
I gave you my
love baby, you wanted something more
And now it's
cold and lonely down in paradise
But don't look
back no, no more, I'm as cold as ice
And the rumors
that came back to me
Were so easily
denied
But tell me
what made you my enemy
When I was right
there, right there by your side
You were in
my heart, when you walked out my door
I gave you my
love baby, you wanted something more
And now the
rain is falling in your paradise
But don't look
back no, no more, I'm as cold as ice
To your heart
I was the one that held the key
I guess your
one big promise never let you free
But that's all
over now, it really all over now
You were in
my heart, when you walked out my door
I gave you my
love baby, I'll never know what for
And now the
rain is falling in your little paradise
But don't look
back no, no more, I'm as cold as ice
Something That
You Want
(words: Jude
Cole, music: Jude Cole and Alan Pasqua)
Don't you ever
turn on me
I've got something
that you need
It drives you
wild
In the mirror,
I'm watching you
Show me everything
you do
It drives me
wild
I like the way
you look when there's something that you want
Your mind's
an open book when there's something that you want
The lights go
off and it's all up to you now
So give me everything
you've got
You think you're
clever to tell your lies
But you can't
keep it from my eyes
Turn around
Grab a hold
of something tight
And love me
baby through the night
Turn around
I like the way
you look when there's something that you want
Your mind's
an open book when there's something that you want
The lights go
off and it's all up to you now
So give me everything,
I want everything
I like the way
you look when there's something that you want
Your mind's
an open book when there's something that you want
The lights go
off and it's all up to you now
So give me everything
you've got
Life Of Luxury
(words: Jude
Cole, music: Jude Cole, John Corey, Debrah Neal)
Walking the city,
we walked a thousand times
Everything looks
different now
Everything has
changed somehow
I'm talking
to strangers and trying so hard to prove
That everything
will be alright
Today I start
to live my life
But the fool
inside my heart won't let it go
And the lonely
nights just wrap around my soul
'Cause you've
broken every promise that you ever made to me
Trading dreams
for a life of luxury
So I met a girl
and she knew it wasn't love
But knowing
that she didn't mind
Made it easy
to be kind
A lover's surrender,
a room for a homeless heart
Never being
unaware
That every moment
you were there
'Cause the fool
inside my heart won't let it go
And it's tearing
me apart to let it show
'Cause you've
broken every promise that you ever made to me
Trading dreams
for a life of luxury
(You can't wait
forever, and now you know
Don't ever regret
her, just let her go)
But I can't,
no I can't, I can't, I just can't hold back
'Cause the fool
inside my heart won't let it go
And each lonely
night just wraps around my soul
'Cause you've
broken every promise that you ever made to me
Trading dreams
for a life of luxury
The Hurt
(words and music:
Jude Cole)
What happened
to Joey the strong believer
He was a real
straight shooter but he got the fever
Now he's crusin'
the downtown queen of the city
With a feel
for the street and he's dressing pretty
'Cause when
she left him behind, something inside said no more
There's a price
to pay when you play with the little town flirt
And ooh, baby
that's the hurt
What happened
to Sally, she's so nervous
Does she need
a love or a mental service
All the boys
just leave her poor heart achin'
But she can't
look back now, Joey's taken
So the time
rolls by 'til something inside says no more
There's a price
to pay when you can't keep away from the dirt
And ooh, baby
that's the hurt
Someone's always
telling lie
Someone's always
got something to hide, now don't they
Someone's running
and someone's reaching
Just look at
what history's teaching you
So you tell
your lies 'til something inside says no more
There's a price
to pay when you can't keep from messing with the curse
And ooh, baby
that's the hurt
To watch her
walk away was all that I could take
I had to stop
my feet from making a fool of me
Now I make a
point of staying far away
From this kind
of activity
'Cause every
time I try, I find I'm only losing heart
And I start
to wonder why
Everyone's in
love isn't that enough
Love, stay away
from me
Everyone's in
love, isn't that enough (I don't get)
Love, stay away
from me
So watch me
walk away, call it a draw and say
Goodbye Shangri-La,
your beauty is lost on me
I don't see
the point of going through obsession
Just for some
intimacy
'Cause I just
wanna go sit back in an easy chair
And watch the
next guy try
Everyone's in
love isn't that enough
Love, stay away
from me
Everyone's in
love, isn't that enough (I don't get)
Love, stay away
from me
Does anybody
see the same thing I see
Making history
instead of making love
And I haven't
a hope if I'm gonna get the girl
By giving up
the world
But I've done
it over and over and over again
I'm just gonna
go kick back in an easy chair
And watch and
wonder why
Everyone's in
love isn't that enough
Love, stay away
from me
Everyone's in
love, isn't that enough (I don't get)
Love, stay away
from me
I'm in the mood
for a sad song, one that cries on its own
And we can sing
it together, so I don't cry alone
Seems I don't
know where to go, since she went away
And the room's
spinning faster, as the record plays
It's the one
that reminds me of much better days
I'm in the mood
for a memory, one that lives on and on
If I relive
the laughter, then it won't feel like she's gone
I can't remember
when I smiled, since she went away
I keep reaching
behind me, today's so hard to face
And the silence
reminds me of much better days
And it's too
long to morning, since she's not in my nights
She's the one
that could move me, but she's out of sight
Why am I holding
on, I should let it fade
Take me back
to better days
Take me back
to better days
Take me back
to better days
Take me back
to better days
You tell me that
you're falling apart at the seams
You're all talk,
talk
You're looking
for a first class ticket to your dreams
So just walk,
walk
I'm not the
one responsible if you never ever find your miracle
Baby, I would
walk on water, I would do it for you
I would walk
on water, if you could ever be true
You're caught
up in a world of material things
And you keep
score, score
Just when I
think I've given you everything
You want more,
more
I'm not the
one to take the blame, if you measure your life
Through personal
gain
I would walk
on water, I would do it for you
I would walk
on water, if you could ever be true
I'm not the
one responsible if you never ever find your miracle
I would walk
on water, I would do it for you
I would walk
on water, if you could ever be true
I knew Mary when
she was a baby
One little girl
and one big little man
Five years younger,
she cried like the thunder
I watched her
reach ten and never saw her again
From one boys
home to one prison cell
May I've know
this world's bitter hell
But come this
winter I'll see my parole
And watch the
heads turn, down the aisle we stroll
Are you still
Crying Mary, the girl I knew before
Your mama used
to come here, she don't come no more
But she left
a picture of you at seventeen
And every day
since then, Mary you have been my dream
For years I've
waited, alone in the dark
Thinking of
you through a young boy's heart
Over and over,
the price that I've paid
Was watching
you cry as they drove me away
Are you still
Crying Mary, the girl I knew before
So many times
I've wondered , behind these doors
Will we be together,
the way it used to be
Now that you
are older, Mary do you think of me
Are you still
Crying Mary, the girl I knew before
Your mamma used
to come here, she don't come no more
Just this worn
out picture that carries everything
But there's
no way of knowing, Mary to you think of me
Do you think
of me Mary
