07 YOU'RE THE REASON (Why I Feel Like I Do) (1986)
-single edit from the album "The Countryside"-

IF YOU TURNED AROUND YOU'D FIND ME THERE
AND IF YOU TOOK THE TIME YOU'D SEE I CARE
MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE AND THE REASON

WHY I FEEL LIKE I DO
YOU'RE THE REASON WHY I FEEL LIKE I DO
YOU'RE THE REASON WHY

MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW THAT I'M EVEN HERE
MAYBE YOU'LL FIND OUT THROUGH THE YEARS
AND IF LOVE NEVER FINDS US, YOU'LL BE THE REASON
-CHORUS-
I'D LOVE TO TAKE YOU HOME
AND I'D LOVE TO TURN YOU ON
BUT I'VE GOT A LIFETIME
OF LOVE FOR YOU BUT
I'M SITTING HERE HIDING IT AWAY
WAITING FOR YOU TO LOOK
AT THE REASON
-CHORUS-

"ALL I WANT IS YOU" (1991)
-remaster taken from the album "Carry On"-

NOW, WHEN I WAS DANCING WITH YOU,
I KNEW MY HEART COULD EVEN HEAR THE TUNE.

NOW ALL MY LOVE, YOU KNOW IS TRUE,
AND ALL I WANT IS YOU.

NOW, WHEN I WAS TALKING WITH YOU,
I KNEW MY HEART COULD EVEN HEAR IT TOO.
-CHORUS-
NOW, WHEN I WAS DANCING WITH YOU,
I KNEW MY HEART COULD EVEN HEAR THE TUNE.
-CHORUS-

DANCING TO THE CONCERTINA (1985)
-single edit taken from the album "The Countryside"-

LONG AGO WHEN ROCK AND ROLL WASN'T AROUND
YOUR GRANDMA AND GRANDPAPA STILL LIKED TO GET ON DOWN
YOU MIGHT THINK IT WAS SO DIFFERENT THEN
BUT NOTHING'S REALLY CHANGED

THEY WENT DANCING TO THE CONCERTINA
ROMANCING,
IT WAS A LOVE ARENA AND ANYWHERE WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE
THEY WENT DANCING TO THE CONCERTINA
ROMANCING,
IT WAS A LOVE ARENA JUST LIKE, JUST LIKE YOU AND ME

THEY MIGHT LEAD YA TO BELIEVE
THAT THEY WERE GOOD LITTLE KIDS
WELL, I WISH I COULD GO BACK AND SEE
JUST WHAT THEY DID
YOU MIGHT THINK IT WAS INNOCENT THEN
BUT NOTHING'S REALLY CHANGED
-CHORUS-

"ANY WAY YOU ARE" (1988)
-remaster from the album "Any Way You Are"-

NOW I'M JUST AN ORDINARY MAN
WITH NOT A LOT TO SAY
BUT IF I COULD SAY
WHAT I WANT TO YOU
I'D SAY EVERYTHING THAT YOU'D WANT TO HEAR
AND I WOULD START BY SAYING THESE WORDS "I'LL LOVE YOU-

"ANY WAY YOU ARE, ANY WAY YOU ARE
I'LL LOVE YOU"

NOW I'M PROBABLY NOT YOUR DREAM I'M JUST ME
BUT IF I COULD BE WHAT I WANTED FOR YOU
I'D BE EVERYTHING THAT YOU'D WANT TO SEE
AND I WOULD OFFER YOU MORE THAN I AM
JUST TO HEAR YOU SAY TO ME-

"WHERE DID THE TIME GO?" (1990)
-remaster from the album "Carry On"-

WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
SINCE WE FIRST KISSED
YOU'VE MADE ME FEEL
ALL THE LOVE
THAT I HAD MISSED

WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
FULFILLED HAVE BEEN A THOUSAND DREAMS
SINCE YOU SHARED YOUR LOVE WITH ME
AND WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
MY DAYS AND NIGHTS HAVE ALL BEEN FILLED
WITH THOUGHTS OF YOU
THAT'S WHERE MY TIME GOES
THAT'S WHERE THE TIME GOES

HAS IT BEEN THAT MUCH TIME?
I CAN REMEMBER
HOLDING YOU TIGHT THOSE NIGHTS IN DECEMBER
AND IT STILL SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
AND IT STILL FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY

WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
FULFILLED HAVE BEEN A THOUSAND DREAMS
SINCE YOU SHARED YOUR LOVE WITH ME
AND WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
MY DAYS AND NIGHTS HAVE ALL BEEN FILLED
WITH THOUGHTS OF YOU
THAT'S WHERE MY TIME GOES
THAT'S WHERE THE TIME GOES

ONE MORE TIME (1985)
-remaster from the album "One More Time"-

POUR ME ANOTHER DRINK
CUZ I NEED TO GET REAL HIGH
YA SEE MY BABY LEFT ME
AND NEVER EVEN SAID GOODBYE

SO HEY THERE JOE
PLAY ME THAT SONG JUST ONE MORE TIME
COULD YA PLAY IT JUST ONE MORE TIME?

JOE, YOU'LL HAVE TO BILL ME
I KNOW IT AIN'T THAT SMART
BUT I'M ALL OUT OF MONEY
AND YOU DON'T WANT A BROKEN HEART
-CHORUS-
I KNOW IT'S TIME TO LEAVE
CUZ THE TIME HAS COME TO CLOSE
OH COULD YA DO ME A FAVOR
JUST ONCE BEFORE I GO
-CHORUS-
-TAG-

"CARRY ON" (2003)
-remaster from the album "Carry On"-

I BELIEVE IN THE MIRACLE OF LIVING.
SHE'S THE ONLY ONE I'LL EVER LOVE.
HE TOOK THE BABY UP THERE WITH HER, ALL AT ONE TIME.
SHE'S SETTING UP OUR MANSION IN THE SKY. BUT,

IT'S GONNA BE A LONG, LONG TIME BEFORE I GET HOME.
IT'S GONNA BE A LONG LONELY LIFE, SINCE MY BABY'S GONE.
'TIL THEN I'LL TRY TO CARRY ON.

WHY'D HE HAVE TO LEAVE ME HERE WITHOUT HER?
EVEN IF I FOUND SOMEBODY ELSE, I'D FEEL ALONE.
SEVERAL NIGHTS I LIE IN BED AND FALL ASLEEP AND I DREAM THAT
SHE'S STANDING IN THE DOORWAY LOOKING DOWN. BUT,
-CHORUS-
WE WERE SO YOUNG, JUST STARTING OUT WHEN THE TRAGEDY CAME.
NOW I FEEL LIKE A PRISONER HERE, WAITING TO BE ARRAIGNED. BUT-
-CHORUS-

"AND THE POWER IS" (2003)
-remaster from the album "No Limits"-

GOT A SITUATION,
YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF TOWN
AND MY OCCUPATION IS
JUST TO KNOCK YOU DOWN
AND KNOCK YOU AROUND

AND THE POWER IS GONNA DO IT AGAIN
CUZ MY APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION
IS NEVER GONNA END,
NO IT'S NEVER GONNA END...

GOT A REPUTATION,
GONNA PROVE IT TODAY
AND MY ONLY SUGGESTION IS
TO GET OUT OF MY WAY
GET OUT OF MY WAY CUZ-
-CHORUS-

"HABANERO KISS" (2004)
-from the album "No Limits"-

YOU'VE HEARD A LOT OF SONGS ABOUT MARIA
HOW SHE'S WILD AND LIVING SO FREE
WELL EVERY TIME THEY SING ABOUT HER
I REMEMBER HOW SHE WAS WITH ME
AND SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH I MISS HER
IT'S PART OF THE REASON SHE LEAVES
I'D GIVE ANYTHING JUST TO KISS HER
AND LIVE OFF THE AIR SHE BREATHES

BUT SHE LEFT ME HERE ALL ALONE
LIVING IN MEMORIES LIKE THIS
WONDERING WHAT SHE'S DOING NOW
AND BURNING FOR HER HABANERO KISS
I'M STILL BURNING FOR HER HABANERO KISS

I KNOW SHE'S OUT THERE SOMEWHERE
TEARING IT UP DOWNTOWN
MAKING SOMEBODY LOVE HER
AND REALLY JUST LEADING HIM ON
AND SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH HE'LL MISS HER
IT'S PART OF THE REASON SHE LEAVES
I'D GIVE ANYTHING JUST TO KISS HER
AND LIVE OFF THE AIR SHE BREATHES
-CHORUS-

CAN'T HELP FEELING THIS WAY (When I'm Feeling This Way)(1993) -from the album "Wishbone (IV)"-

WHEN I'M HOLDING YOU CLOSE
AND YOU'RE SEARCHING MY EYES
TELLING ME THINGS NOBODY KNOWS

I CAN'T HELP FEELING THIS WAY
WHEN I'M FEELING THIS WAY
NO I CAN'T HELP FEELING THIS WAY

WHEN I'M HOLDING YOU CLOSE
AND YOU'RE SEARCHING MY EYES
TAKING ME WHERE NOBODY GOES
-CHORUS-

WITH A VOW (1999)
-single edit remaster from the album "With A Vow"-

HOW OFTEN I THINK ABOUT YOU AND SMILE
I KNOW I'LL LOVE YOU MORE THAN JUST A WHILE
ALL I WANT TO BE IS PART OF YOU
PLEDGING YOU MY LOVE IS WHAT I WILL DO
WITH A VOW

MY LOVE GROWS STRONGER FOR YOU EVERYDAY
I'LL NEVER LET YOUR LOVE SLIP AWAY
ALL I WANT TO SEE IS ME WITH YOU
PLEDGING ALL MY LOVE IS WHAT I WILL DO
WITH A VOW
-SOLO-
ALL I WANT TO SEE IS ME WITH YOU
PLEDGING ALL MY LOVE IS WHAT I WILL DO
WITH A VOW

UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN (1997)
-single edit from the album "Bobby Rivers"-

OH I AIN'T GONNA SEE NO MORE SUNNY DAYS
WITH THESE CLOUDS IN MY EYES
AND FROM NOW ON EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE
IS GONNA LOOK SO DIFFERENT
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

AND LEAVING FOR YOU IS SO EASY
YOU AIN'T TAKING NOTHING
BUT YOU SEE I'M GONNA BE CARRYING THIS HEAVY LOAD
ON DOWN THE ROAD OF MY SOUL NOW DARLING
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN
ALL THE OLD SONGS AIN'T GONNA SOUND THE SAME, NO
AND UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN
I'LL BE STANDING IN THE MIRROR LOOKING AT SOMEONE TO BLAME
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

I'M GONNA BE RIGHT HERE LOOKING THE SAME
BUT LIVING MY LIFE OUT IN A DOWNPOURING RAIN
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN
I'M GONNA STAY RIGHT HERE FROZEN IN TIME
LIVING IN THE MEMORY OF YOUR LOVE AND MINE
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

THERE'S NOT A SINGLE THING IN THIS LIFE
TO REPLACE THE EMPTY FEELING
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

THERE'S NOT A SINGLE THING IN THIS LIFE
TO REPLACE THE EMPTY FEELING
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

14 I WILL LOVE YOU ALL MY LIFE (1984)
-single edit from the album "IV"-

YOU COULD TAKE ME AWAY
SO FAR FROM THIS WORLD
JUST SAY THE WORDS
I CAN'T OFFER YOU MUCH
BUT I WOULD GIVE ALL
ALL OF ME

HOW CAN I TELL YOU HOW I FEEL INSIDE?
IN YOUR EYES I CAN SEE A PARADISE
AND IF I NEVER GET TO MAKE YOU MINE
IN MY HEART I WILL LOVE YOU ALL MY LIFE
IN MY HEART I WILL LOVE YOU ALL MY LIFE

LINDY IS GONE(1998)
(Dedicated to the memory of Lindy Omdahl)
-remaster from the album "Odyssey"-

LINDY IS GONE
TOO LATE TO SAY I'M SORRY
FOR ALL THE CRUEL THINGS
I JOINED RIGHT IN
AND LINDY HAD WAYS
COULDN'T HELP BEING DIFFERENT
COULDN'T SING IN KEY
BUT MEANT EVERY WORD

FOUR WHEELS COULDN'T STOP
AND LINDY DIDN'T SEE
IN HER OWN SAFE WORLD
ALL THE TIME

LINDY FELL DOWN
MORE THAN ONE SOLEMN FACE
THE LESSON I LEARNED
STILL GUIDES ME IN SUBTLE WAYS
KILLING WORDS NOW STOP
EVERY TIME I SEE, LINDY
SOMEHOW, COULD I THANK YOU?
