On one hand, I count the reasons I could stay with you And hold you close to me all night long. So many lover's games I could play with you On that hand there's no reason why it's wrong But on the other hand there's a golden band To remind me of someone who would not understand On one hand I could stay and be your loving man But the reason I must go is on the other hand In your arms, I feel the passion I thought had died When I looked into your eyes, I found myself And when I first kissed your lips, I felt so alive I gotta hand it to you, girl, you're something else But on the other hand there's a golden band To remind me of someone who would not understand On one hand I could stay and be your loving man But the reason I must go is on the other hand

I can't disguise the pounding of my heart, it beats so strong It's in your eyes, what can I say? They turn me on I don't care where we go, I don't care what we do I don't care pretty baby, just take me with you Come on and touch the place in me that's calling out your name We want each other oh so much, why must we play this game? I don't care where we go, I don't care what we do I don't care pretty baby, just take me with you I don't care if we spend the night at your mansion I don't care if we spend the night on the town All I want is to spend the night together All I want is to spend the night in your arms To be around you is oh so right, you're sheer perfection Drive me crazy, drive me all night, just don't break up the connection I don't care where we go, I don't care what we do I don't care pretty baby, just take me with you I don't care where we go, I don't care what we do I don't care pretty baby, just take me with you

What did you think I would do at this moment While you're standing before me with tears in your eyes? Trying to tell me that you have found you another, And you just don't love me no more What did you think I would say at this moment When I'm faced with the knowledge that you just don't love me? Did you think I would curse you or say things to hurt you, Cause you just don't love me no more Did you think I would hate you or raise my hands to you? Now come on, you know me too well How could I hurt you when darling, I love you And you know I'd never hurt you So what did you think I would give at this moment? If you stay, I'll take twenty years from my life I'd fall down on my knees and kiss the ground that you walk on If I could just hold you again I'd fall down on my knees and kiss the ground that you walk on If I could just hold you again

There's a tear in my beer Cause I'm crying for you, dear You are on my lonely mind Into these last nine beers I have shed a million tears You are on my lonely mind I'm gonna keep drinking until I'm petrified Maybe then these tears will find a way to leave my eyes There's a tear in my beer Cause I'm crying for you, dear You are on my lonely mind Last night I walked the floor Just like the night before You are on my lonely mind It seems my life is through And I'm so goddamn blue You are on my lonely mind I'm gonna keep drinking till I can't move my toes Maybe then my heart won't hurt me so There's a tear in my beer Cause I'm crying for you, dear You are on my lonely mind Lord, I've tried and I've tried, But these tears I can't hide You are on my lonely mind All these blues that I've found Have really got me down You are on my lonely mind I'm gonna keep drinking till I can't fucking think Cause in the last week I ain't slept a wink There's a tear in my beer Cause I'm crying for you, dear You are on my lonely mind I'm gonna keep drinking until I'm petrified Maybe then these tears will find a way to leave my eyes There's a tear in my beer Cause i'm crying for you, dear You are on my lonely You are on my lonely You are on my lonely mind

Hello Darling, nice to see you It's been a long time You're just as lovely as you used to be How's your new love? Are you happy? I hope that you're doing fine Just to know that means so much to me What's that, Darling? How am I doing? I'm doing just fine Except I can't sleep and I cry all night till dawn What I'm trying to say is I love you, and I miss you And I'm so sorry that I did you wrong Look up, Darling, let me kiss you Just for old time's sake Let me hold you in my arms just one more time Thank you, Darling. May God bless you And may each step you take Bring you closer to the things you seek to find Goodbye Darling, I gotta go now Gotta try and find a way To lose these memories of a love so pure and true And if you should ever find it in your heart to forgive me, Come home, Darling. I'll be waiting for you,

Oh how you sparkle, and oh how you shine The blush on your cheeks is more than the wine He must have something that I couldn't do Whatever he's doing sure looks good on you You look so good in love You want him, that's easy to see You look so good in love And I wish you still wanted me He must have stolen the stars from the sky And gave them to you to wear in your eyes Well I had my chances and I set you free And now I'm wondering why I couldn't see You look so good in love You want him, that's easy to see You look so good in love And I wish you still wanted me Darling, I've wasted a lot of years not seeing the real you But tonight your beauty is shining through And I never took the time to let you know So tonight, before he takes you away, please let me say You look so good in love You want him, that's easy to see You look so good in love And I wish you still wanted me

Today I started loving you again And now I'm right back to where I've always been I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend But then today I started loving you again What a fool I was to think that I could get by With only these few million tears I've cried I should have known that the worst was yet to come And the crying time for me had just begun Today I started loving you again And now I'm right back to where I've really always been I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend But then today I started loving you again

Take the ribbon from your hair Shake it loose and let it fall Laying soft against your skin Like the shadows on the wall Come and lay down by my side Till the early morning light All I'm taking is your time Help me make it through the night I don't care who's right or wrong I won't try to understand Let the Devil take tomorrow Cause tonight I need a friend Yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow's out of sight And I don't want to be alone Help me make it through the night I don't care who's right or wrong I won't try to understand Let the Devil take tomorrow Cause tonight I need a friend Yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow's out of sight And I don't want to be alone Help me make it through the night No I don't want to be alone Help me make it through the night
