1.Lonely Nights

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

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,
That ain't fair.
We may win, we may be losers,
I don't care, no, no, no.
CHORUS：
Oh baby,
I just can't stand
Another lonely night,
So come over and save me,
Save me from another lonely night.
I hear every word you're sayin',
They're all lies,
But with every breath you're takin'
You're thinkin' of ways
To say good night.
CHORUS


2.Tonight

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Who you're gonna run to,
Now your ass is on the line？
Who you think you're foolin',
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 tryin' to change it at all.
CHORUS：
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 wanna 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.
CHORUS

Tonight, tonight, tonight,
Just leave it to me, yeah,
Leave it to me tonight,
Tonight leave it alone,
Just leave it alone.


3.No One Makes It Right

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Everything's been said a hundred times,
Everything's been said a hundred times,
And 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,
And 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 movin' out, so you say,
I guess you're movin' out, so you say.
Well, I know if I know you,
I got no more to say.
And no one makes it right
Like you do, like you do,
No one makes it right
Like you do, like you do
'Cause no one makes it right like you,
Like you do, so long.

I said it once, I say it always.


4.Coming Home

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

All those nights I've spent alone
Uninspired, to tired and wasted,
There's lots of times
I'd have telephoned,
I couldn't find the words to say them.
I'm comin' home, Lord, I'm comin' home.
I'll make it short, I'll make it sweet,
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？
Comin' home, I'm comin' home,
Comin' home, I'm comin' home.
Only seems like yesterday,
You and I were sayin' good-bye.
Now I'm just a few miles away,
Gonna see you tonight.
I've been alone and I've lived the pain,
I reached for you in desperatin.
I was wrong - I'll take the blame,
I need you back now, I just can't wait.
I'm comin' home, yeah, I'm comin' home,
Won't you wait, I'm comin' home,
Comin' home, wait it out,
Comin' home.


5.You Want It, You Got It

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Think I told you
Maybe once or twice before,
Only hold you down
And leave you wanting more.
But you refuse to listen,
So this is where you're stayin'.
If you weren't so proud, here to me now,
You'd be somewhere today.
CHORUS：
If you want it, you got it.
If you want it, you got it.
If you want it, you got it now.
Think you're on a break,
But I got news for you.
I think it's time to stop
And leave it all with you.
Set me up and shot me down
So many times before,
Droppin' names and playin' games
Won't get you through my door.
CHORUS


6.Jealousy

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

I can't complain about the way we 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.
CHORUS：
Oh, jealousy comin' over me,
It's that jealousy breakin' my heart,
Oh, jealousy takin' 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 lovin' you.
You say that 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 me heart,
I tell you now
That it's been comin' down hard,
Oh, I just can't stand another day.
CHORUS

Oh, jealousy comin' over me,
It's that jealousy breakin' me heart,
Jealousy, I'm so jealous ...


7.Don't Look Now

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Now you took your love from me,
When I needed it most,
I wanted you so desperately.
CHORUS：
Baby, don't look now
'Cause I'm comin' around.
Baby, don't look now
'Cause I'm comin' around.

You planned it all so carefully,
You 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,
Now you better think twice
'Cause you can't fool me that easily.
CHORUS
You planned it all so carefully,
You 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,
Now you better think twice
'Cause you can't fool me that easily.


8.Last Chance

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Well, you take it all for granted,
So it should come as no surprise,
But you big balloon is gonna burst
Right before your eyes.
Well, you always call your mama,
Just for sympathy,
But I tried to show you years ago,
So don't come cry to me.

CHORUS：
And it's your last chance
The night is over,
Last chance for love.
Well, if you blame it on the Bossa Nova,
Can't blame it when I'm gone.
Well, you call me up for favours,
You say that it's my turn.
Well, I'll be your staff
While my hear runs dry
And watch your bridges burn.
Well, I saw your guardian angel,
You said I can't refuse. Well, I'd take the chance,
But it's hard to dance
In size 8 concrete shoes.

CHORUS

Well, you take it all for granted,
So it should come as no surprise,
But you big balloon is gonna burst
Right before your eyes.


9.One Good Reason

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

I've got one hand on your door,
One hand in my pocket,
The world is on my shoulders
And I'm tryin' to get to you.
Gettin' pretty worried,
Now that Ronnie's in the office,
I shouldn't let it get to me,
There's nothin' I can do.

I think that you should know by now
You've done the damage,
Now 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
'Cause that troubled look I got
Might 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' there to find.

I think that you should know by now
You've done the damage,
Now it can't be changed,
So give me one good reason,
One good reason to stay ...


10.Dipper Mouth Blues


11.Take Me Back

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

I shoulda seen it comin',
I shoulda seen the signs,
Didn't really think that she needs me,
I must've been blind.
She didn't give me a warning,
Said I shouldn't treat you wrong,
But when I woke up this morning,
She was gone, gone gone.

She said ...
Take me back, won't ya
Take me back, won't ya
I'll change my ways.
Take me back, won't ya
Take me back, won't ya
I'm not the same.
She didn't tell me about it,
Am I supposed to read your mind？
You make me get up and shout it,
It's a crime, crime, crime.
I shoulda seen it comin',
I shoulda seen the signs,
Didn't really think that she needs me,
I must've been blind.

Won't ya take me back.
Won't ya take me back.


12.Let Him Know

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Another day goes by
And still you wonder what happened.
You'd give the world for one more try,
But you're too shy to ask him,
Don't wanna ask him now.
I know your heart
Will pull you thru
If he means that much to you.
You gotta let him know.

CHORUS：
Let him know,
Know that you love him.
Let him know,
Know that you need him.
Let him know,
Know that you want him now.
You gotta let him know ...
What can I say, it's up to you,
You gotta make up your own mind,
It's your life, it's up to you
'Cause you didn't believe me,
Still don't believe me now.
You're gonna see
It's all comin' true,
That's why I'm leavin' it up to you.
You gotta let him know ...

CHORUS

The news is that I guess you heard,
I shouldn't breathe a single word.
The bottom line is
Nothing's stop you now.
You gotta let him know ...


13.What's It Gonna Be

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

If it was up to me,
I'd say it's his decision,
And maybe you should wait and se,
You haven't got a choice,
You gotta second guess him,
So go ahead.
CHORUS：
What's it gonna be,
Well, you need an answer,
What's it gonna be,
All you get is no reply.
If it was to you,
You'd say you need protection,
When all you really need is me.
Now, that's the bottom line,
It's your sincere intention,
So go ahead.
CHORUS (2x)

You've been waiting for so long,
Now you say you can't go on,
You can't go on, oh no.


14.The Only One

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Well, I made up my mind,
Not gonna let you get away,
To think that I'm the lucky guy,
Thought I've almost got it made
'Cause it's been so long
Since I felt so strong
About anyone at all,
I get so excited,
I ain't gonna fight it,
I think I might be fallin' in love.
So come on - let's get it right
'Cause you're the only one.
So come on - we ain't got all night
'Cause you're the only one.
Last night
I thought you mighta stayed.
If I'd a had the guts,
I woulda pushed my luck,
But then you mighta turned away.
How do I explain,
I know it sounds insane,
But I've been through this before.
You could change your mind,
You could turn and walk
Right through that door.
So come on - let's get it straight
'Cause you're the only one.
So come on - I just can't wait
'Cause you're the only one.


15.Straight From The Heart

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Eric Kagna
Music：Bryan Adams／Eric Kagna

I could start dreamin', but it never ends,
As long as you're gone, we may as well pretend
I've been dreamin'
Straight from the heart.
You say it's easy, but who's to say
That we'd be able to keep it this way,
But it's easier
Comin' straight from the heart.

CHORUS：
Give it to me straight from the heart,
Tell me we can make another start,
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's comin' straight from the heart.
I'll see you on the street some other time
And all our words would just fall out of line,
I was dreamin'
Straight from the heart.
CHORUS

(Don't ever leave me, darlin', oh no)

CHORUS

Straight from the heart,
Tell me we can make one more start,
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's comin' straight from the heart.


16.Don't Leave Me Lonely

Lyrics：Adams／Carr
Music：Adams／Carr

I won't stand being broken hearted,
I won't be pushed around.
The Rules were set when we got started,
But lately I have found.
We've spent too little time and too much heartache,
I feel we're losin' ground,
And lately I've been hearin'
You won't be needin' me around.

CHORUS：
Don't leave me lonely,
I wanna be right by your side
Your one and only - tonight.
So don't leave me lonely,
I need you here all the time.
So don't leave me lonely, oh no.
You say you need your independence,
Well, I need mine,
Separate lives and separate feelin's,
I guess that's fine.
But that won't last - it's no solution,
I know we can't survive.
And lately I've been thinkin',
Thinkin' 'bout you all the time.

CHORUS


17.This Time

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

I think about her all the time,
She's my fantasy,
An image burnin' in my mind,
Callin' out to me
While my imagination's runnin' wild,
Things are gettin' clearer.
CHORUS：
This time, everything is alright,
No way she's gonna get away.
This time, everything is easy,
Any day, I'm gonna make her mine.
I've thought of every word I'd say,
Give or take a few,
But she turns and slowly walks away,
What do I have to do？
Hey, turn up your radio,
There's something I want you to know.
CHORUS

It's hard to take
'Cause she's miles away
And I've waited a long time,
But the feelin's right,
Darlin', one of these nights,
Yeah, I'm gonna let you know.


18.The Best Was Yet To Come

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Just a small town girl in the city lights,
The best was yet to come,
Then lonely days turned in endless nights,
The best was yet to come.
How were you to know
That you would be the lucky one？
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best was yet to come.

You can cry yourself to sleep at night,
But you can't change the things you've done,
You had it there, then it slipped away,
You left the song unsung.

Even through your tears
I never saw you come undone.
What's so good about good-bye
When the best was yet to come.
I find myself thinkin'about yesterday
When you were here and livin' in a dream,
In a moment that it takes
You find you made your first mistake,
Like the settin' sun ...
You turn around, it's gone.
Just a small town girl who had it made
Or so the story goes.
She had it there, but it slipped away,
Oh, how was she to know.

Even through her tears
I never saw her come undone.
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best was yet to come.
What's so good about good-bye
When the best was yet to come.


19.I'm Ready

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

I'd like to see you,
Thought I'd let you know.
I wanna be with you every day
'Cause I've got a feelin'
That's beginnin' to grow
And there's only one thing I wanna say.
I'm ready - to love you.
I'm ready - to hold you
I'm ready - I'm ready
I'm ready as I'm gonna be.
She left me a long note
When she left me here.
She Told me that love was hard to find.
But baby, it's easy
And I'll make it clear
That there's only one thing on my mind.


20.Cuts Like A Knife

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Drivin' home this evenin',
I coulda sworn we had it all worked out.
You had this boy believin'
Way beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Then I heard it on the street,
I heard you mighta found somebody new.
Well, who is he, baby,
Who is he, and tell me what he means to you.
I took it all for granted, but how was I to know
That you would be lettin' go. Now it cuts like a knife,
But it feels so right.
It cuts like a knife,
But it feels so right.
There's times I've been mistaken,
There's times I thought I'd been misunderstood.
So wait a minute darlin',
Can't you see we did the best we could？
This wouldn't be the first time things have gone astray,
Now you've thrown it all away.


21.Victim Of Love

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Livin' on your own
Can be a lonely game,
A face in the crowd,
No one knows your name.
It's a table for one
And a broken heart to go.
She's the kind of lover
That you've always dreamed
Would come to stay
And never wanna leave,
But that's all changed,
She's dealt the final blow.

Heaven knows
What you were dramin' of,
Don't blame yourself,
You're judt a victim of love.

It doesn't matter
Who was right or wrong
When the fire is over
When the magic's gone
You pick up the pieces
And do the best you can.

It knocks you down,
But you try it again,
You get a little older,
It's a cryin' shame,
Sometimes things don't work out
Like you plan.

Who's gonna help you
When you've had enough,
It ain't no secret,
You're a victim of love.
Heaven knows
What you were thinkin' of,
Don't blame yourself,
You're just a victim of love.
One good-bye
Was really all it took,
Now you thumb through the pages
Of your little black book,
But somehow all the numbers
Look the same.

You been thinkin'
How to get around it,
But there ain't nothin'
You can do about it,
Nothin' ventured,
Nothin' gained.

Ain't nothin'
You can't raise above,
Call it what you want,
But you're a victim of love.

Who's gonna help you
When you've had enough,
Ain't no secret,
You're a victim of love.

I don't wanna lose your love ...


22.Native Son

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

I've seen many moons through these wrinkled eyes,
The years have made me old, but they've made me wise,
Now the white man lives where our rivers run.
For now better days have passed,
We walk the streets of broken glass,
Our people vanished as snow before the summer sun.
Like dogs we were driven from this place,
Such injustice time will not erase,
All these changes cannot be undone.
When you feel the anger inside of you,
Hold your head high, let your aim be true
Though your heart beats like a drum,
My native son.

Once there was a time, my little one,
Before the wagons, before the soldiers' guns,
When this land was ours as far as the eagle flies.
No white flag, no broken truce,
With few words one can speak the truth,
I can't hear it, time won't heal it now.
With each new day that comes to pass
Will the Great Spirit free us all at last,
He said we were the chosen ones.
For all we had there's nothin' left,
We won't forgive, we can't forget,
You know that your day will come,
My native son.
With each new day that comes to pass
Will the Great Spirit free us all at last,
What has happened can never be undone.
When I was young, not yet a man,
The sun rose and set upon our land,
We were the chosen ones,
My native son.


23.Home Again

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

When I was younger,
My life was torn asunder
And I was carried far away.
Now somewhere in the distance
I feel a strange insistance,
I long to be there once again.
The day ist drawin' nearer,
The time has come to leave here,
The feelin' just keeps gettin' stronger every day.
So I pray for the moment when I'll be with you
And all that we hoped for is all comin' true.
When the time we've spent waitin' is finally through,
I'll be home again.

I can still remember
Days that never ended,
Standin' on a distant shore.
With every raindrop fallin'
I hear the thunder callin'
Like so many times before.
Sometimes in the darkness
I hear what my heart says,
Maybe one day I'll know what that feeling's for.
So I wait for the moment when I'll be with you
And all that we hoped for is all comin' true.
When the time we've spent waitin' is finally through,
I'll be home again.
When you're out there on your own
It can chill you to the bone,
There's a cold wind blowin',
But it feels good knowin'
The worst is over now,
I'm finally goin' home.

It's gettin' stronger,
Can't wait any longer.


24.Heat Of The Night

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

I was caught in the crossfire
Of a silent dream.
One man's nightmare
Is another man's dream.
Pull the covers up high
And pray for the mornin' light
'Cause you're livin' alone
In the heat of the night.
Met a man with a message
From the other side,
Couldn't take the pressure,
Had to leave it behind.
He said it's up to you,
You can run or you can fight, (ya, that's right)
Better leave it alone
In the heat of the night.
In the heat of the night
They'll be comin' around,
They'll be lookin' for answers,
They'll be chasin' you down.
In the heat of the night.
(Where you're gonna hide when it all comes down,
Don't look back, don't ever turn around)
Had to pay the piper
To call the tune,
Said he'd be back someday,
Said he'd back real soon.
Pull the shades down low,
You'll know when the time is right.
When you're lyin' alone
In the heat of the night.


25.Only The Strong Survive

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

When the pressure's on and you're all alone,
Take a little ride to the danger zone.
When the moon is high and the skies are clear,
Just show me a sign and we'll be outa here.
Take me up on a wing and a prayer.
If you need a friend you know I'll be there.
Hound dogs howlin' all thru the night,
Eight miles high and I'm doin' alright.
Better move over 'cause you're goin' too slow.
I feel the need for freedom, now it's time to go.
It's a fine line between pleasure and pain,
Let your conscience be your guide till we meet again.

CHORUS：
Your time has come,
You can stand or you can run,
But don't keep it all inside,
'Cause you gotta understand
That there ain't no second chance,
No one gets outa here alive.
Only the strong survive.
Tearin' it up, goin' down the track,
Gonna fly so high, I might never come back.
If things get tough, you can count me in
'Cause if you play the game, you gatta play to win.
Take me up where only angels can fly.
If you need a helpin' hand I won't pass you by.
CHORUS

Take me up on a wing and a prayer.
If you need a friend you know I'll be there.

CHORUS

Only the strong survive.
Only the strong survive.
Well, I'm doin' what I can.
And you gotta understand.
Only the strong survive.


26.Rebel

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

He made his way back to the old town
And everything looked just the same,
The shops and the schools and the factories were there,
But somehow the faces had changed.
So he went for a walk in the high street,
Took his coat off and rolled up his sleeves,
He thought of his father and his father before him
And how he was the first one to leave.

Well, he didn't come here for forgiveness,
There isn't a lot they can say
'Cause I remember the reasons
He first ran away.

He's a rebel, just a rebel,
Got his back to the wall,
Gonna fight till he falls,
He's a rebel.

Don't ever look back, don't surrender,
The old men say they've seen it before,
Oh, they drink their beer and they talk about friends
Who didn't come back from the war.
Don't say he's too young to remember,
Don't tell him what's wrong or what's right,
Just give him a chance
To go out there and fight.
He's a rebel, just a rebel,
All the battles are won,
But he's still on the run,
He's a rebel.

When it comes time for leavin',
Don't stand in my way,
There's nothin' left for me here,
Gonna run, run away.

In the mornin' he walks past the old house,
In the rain under grey northern skies,
There's a new coat of paint on the front garden gate,
But there's more here than first meets the eye.

For a moment he stands undecided,
Lookin' back on the days of his youth,
As two worlds collide
In a moment of truth.


27.Remembrance Day

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

For our king and our country
And the promise of glory,
We came from Kingston and Brighton
To fight on the front line.
Just lads form the farms
And boys form the cities,
Not meant to be soldiers,
We lay in the trenches.

We'd face the fightin' with a smile
so we say
If only we had known
What dangers lay ahed.

The sky turned to grey
As we went into battle,
On the fields of Europe
Young men were fallin'.

I'll be back for you someday,
It won't be long
If I just hold on
Till this bloody war is over.

CHORUS：
The guns will be silent
On Remembrance Day.
There'll be no more fightin'
On Remembrance Day.
By October of 18
Cambrai had fallen,
Soon the war would be over
And we'd be returnin'.
Don't forget me
When I'm gone far away,
Well, it won't be long
Till I'll be back there in your arms again.

One day soon, I don't know when,
You know we'll all be free.
And the bells of peace will ring again.
The time will come for you and me,
We'll be goin' home,
When this bloody war is ended.

CHORUS

On Remembrance Day.
Say a little prayer
On Remembrance Day.

Well, the guns will be silent.
There'll be no more fightin'.
Oh, we'll lay down our weapons
On Remembrance Day.


28.Hearts On Fire

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Some other time, some other place,
We might not of been here standin' face to face.
I just wanna tell you, I made up my mind,
You know, I can't help the way I feel inside.
Ooh, this heart's on fire,
Right from the start it's been burnin' for you.
Ooh, this heart's on fire,
One thing, honey, this heart's true.

The streets are empty, the lights are down,
Ain't nothin' movin' this side of town,
So come on over, I ain't hard to please,
Oh baby, what you get ain't always what you need.
Ooh, this heart's on fire,
It's gettin' hotter now, can't you see.
Ooh, this heart's on fire,
From now on, baby, it's gonna be you and me.
Risin' to my feet
I can feel the heat,
It's tryin' to pull me under.
Runnin' through the night
We can make it right,
It's comin' on like thunder.

Some got it good, some got it bad,
But you're the best I ever had.
I never worry, you're so fine,
From now on, babe, I' m gonna be by your side.


29.Into The Fire

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Life, thin as a thread,
Sometimes you're lucky,
Sometimes you're better-off dead.
Your first breath is taken
And into the world you are cast,
You long for tomorrow
Livin' each day as your last.
Well, I know
What your heart desires,
But you can't take it with you
Into the fire.

Now you've don all you can,
Your life's at the crossroads,
You watch as it slips thru your hands.
So you stand on the mountain
And shout in vain at the sky,
But nobody hears you,
The words only echo inside.

Oh, shelter the flame,
It may expire,
Risin' up from the ashes
Into the fire.
Just hold onto your life
Down to the wire,
Oh, out form the dragon's jaws
Into the fire.
There's a moment in every man's life
Whrer he must decide
What's wrong and what's right.
You could wait
For your dreams to come true,
But time has no mercy
Time won't stand still for you.

Well, I know
What your heart desires,
Crawlin' out from the wreckage
Into the fire.

Here I go ...
Into the fire.
I know ...
What your heart desires.


30.Another Day

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Woke up lyin' on the floor,
Can't recall the night before,
Oh, another day.
Outside it's cold and damp,
Unemployment cheque is spent,
Oh, another day.
Some people never know
You can't just let it go
Or try to work it out some other way.
Some people never learn
My life ain't their concern
And nothing's gonna change, come what may.

Had a job, but it fell through,
Landlord says the rent is due,
Oh, another day.
They say the best in life is free,
But if you don't pay then you don't eat,
Oh, another day.
I guess I'll never know
You just can't let it go
Or try to work it out some other way.
Some people never learn
Their lives ain't my concern
And nothing's gonna change, come what may.
The grass looks greener on the other side,
But I can't get there, my hands are tied,
And if I do don't be surprised.
Oh, gotta figure it out, another day.

32.Summer Of '69

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

I got my first real six-string,
Bought it at the five-and-dimes,
Played it till my fingers bled,
It was the summer of '69.
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard.
Jimmy quit and Jodie got married,
I shoulda know we'd never get far.

Oh, when I look back now,
And if I had the choice,
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there,
Those were the best days of my life.

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you've got a job to do,
Spent my evening's down at the drive-in,
And that's where I met you.

Standin' at your mama's porch,
You told me that you'd wait forever,
And when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never,
Those were the best days of my life.
Back in the summer of '69.
Man, we were killin' time,
We were young and restless,
We needed to unwind.
I guess nothin' can last forever,
Forever, no.

And now the times are a-chanign',
Look at everything that's come and gone.
Every time I play that old six-string,
Think about you, wonder what went wrong.

Standin' by your mama's porch,
You told me it would last forever.
Oh, the way you held my hand,
I knew that it was now or never.
Those were the best days of my life.

Back in the summer of '69.


33.Run To You

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

She says her love for me
Could never die,
But that'd change
If she ever found out about you and I.
Oh, but her love is cold,
It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know
'Cause when it gets too much
I need to feel your touch.
I'm gonna run to you.
I'm gonna run to you.
'Cause when the feeling's right
I'm gonna run all night,
I'm gonna run to you.

She's got a heart of gold,
She'd let me down,
But you're the one that always turns me on,
You keep me comin' round.
I know her love is true,
But it's so damn easy makin' love to you
And I got my mind made up,
I need to feel your touch.
I'm gonna run to you.
I'm gonna run to you.
'Cause when the feeling's right
I'm gonna stay all night,
I'm gonna run to you.
I'm gonna run to you.
Yeah, I'm gonna run to you.
'Cause when the feeling's right
I'm gonna run all night,
I'm gonna run to you.


34.Long Gone

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

The telephone is ringin',
Ringin' off the wall,
It's your Las Vegas lawyer,
Another long distance call.
He says you get the house and the car
and I get the clothes I got on.
CHORUS：
Now she's gone,
Long, long, long, long gon.
Now I'm a happy boy.
She's long, long, long, long gone.

Operator, get me Manhattan,
Get my baby on the line.
Sooner or later
She's gotta realize
That all my feelings were for real,
But maybe she was leadin' me on.
CHORUS
She took the frigidaire,
She got my favourite chair,
You could sy she's got the best of me.
It's like a legal crime,
But in a matter of time
She'll be back for the rest of me.

But now she's gone,
Long, long, long, long gone.
Now give me peace of mind.
She's long, long, long, long gone.
Now I'm a happy boy...


35.One Night Love Affair

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

You're the silent type
And you caught my eye,
But I never thought
That I'd be touchin' you.
How was I to know
I'd let my feelings go
And that I'd be yours
Before the night was through.

One night love affair
Tryin' to make like we don't care,
We were both reachin' out for somethin'.
One night love affair
Pretendin' it ain't there,
Oh, and now we're left with nothin'.

When the mornin' breaks
We go our separate ways
If the night was made for love
It ain't for keeps.
But I lose control
As I watch you go
All my senses say I'm in this much too deep,
Now you're outa reach.
One night love affair
Tryin' to make like we don't care,
We were both reachin' out for somethin'.
One night love affair
Pretendin' we don't care,
Oh, and now we're left with nothin'.

One night love affair
Tryin' to make like we don't care,
We were both reachin' out for somethin'.
One night love affair
Sometimes love ain't fair,
Oh, and now we're left with nothin'.


36.She's Only Happy When She's Dancin'

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Monday mornin', it's time to get up,
Two cups of coffe and she runs for the bus,
Looks in the window and fixes her hair,
Nobody notices and nobody cares.
She admits it ain't no kinda life
Workin' nine to five, you know
CHORUS：
She's only happy when she's dancin'.
There ain't no place that she'd rather be,
when she's dancin',
Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies.

When friday evenin' finally rolls around,
She grabs a taxi and she heads uptown,
Goes to a place they call 'The Ball ＆ Chain',
Nothin' matters until monday, so she goes insane.
Well, it's a bitch tryin' to make ends meet,
But that's the way the story goes.
She's only happy when she's dancin'.
There ain't nothin' makes her feel so free,
when she's dancin',
The girl's outrageous and it's plain to see.
She ain't got much,
But she got independence.
Yeah, she's doin' alright.
His eyes were on her as the evening's endin',
But she ain't goin' for no mistery,
Because nobody rides for free.

CHORUS

Dancin'


37.It's Only Love

Written：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Vocal：Bryan Adams／Tina Turner

When the feelin' is ended,
There ain't no use pretendin',
Don't you worry, it's only love.
When your world has been shattered
And there ain't nothin' else matters,
It ain't over, it's only love.
And that's all, yeah.
When your heart has been broken
And hard words have been spoken,
It ain't easy, but it's only love.
And if your life ain't worth livin'
And you're ready to give in,
Just remeber that it's only love.
You can live without the aggravation,
You gotta wanna win, you gotta wanna win.
You keep lookin' back in desperation
Over and over and over again.
When your world is shattered
And nothin' else matters,
It ain't over, it's only love.
If your life ain't worth livin'
And you're ready to give in,
Just remember that it's only love.
Yeah, that's all.

It ain't easy, baby,
It's only love, and that's all.


38.Ain't Gonna Cry

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Well, I hardly knew you, baby,
When you were comin' on,
But mama told me ther'd be days like these.
I should known better maybe,
Shoulda seen right through ya,
I needed you like a disease.
CHORUS：
I ain't gonna cry over you,
You're a mistery.
I ain't gonna cry over you,
you're history, history.

You said you'd wait forever,
But I know your type,
The lights are on but no one's home.
I changed my number maybe,
You'd better change your mind
'Cause I'd rather spend the night alone.
CHORUS
I ain't gonna cry over you,
You're a misery.
I ain't gonna cry over you,
you're history.

I ain't your kinda guy,
So forget about me
'Cause I ain't too shy
To say what I'm thinkin', hit it.

I got reckless, baby,
Put you in your place,
Next time better rearrange your face.


39.Kids Wanna Rock

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Turned on the radio,
Sounded like a disco,
Musta turned the dial
For a couple of miles,
But I couldn't find no rock'n'roll.
This computerized crap ain't gettin' me off,
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.
London to L. A.
Talkin' 'bout the new wave.
For a couple of bucks
You get a weird haircut
and waster your life away,
Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.
Get me my D. J.,
I got somethin' he's gotta play,
Wanna hear it, I can't wait,
So turn it up, turn it up ...
Kick down the barricades,
Listen what the kids say.
From time to time
People change their minds,
But the music is here to stay.
I've seen it all from the bottom to the top,
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.

Around the world or around the block,
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.


40.Heaven

Lyrics：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance
Music：Bryan Adams／Jim Vallance

Oh, thinkin' about all our younger years,
There was only you and me,
We were young and wild and fee.
Now nothin' can take you away from me,
We've been down that road before, but that's over now,
You keep me comin' back for more.
CHORUS：
Baby, you're all that I want,
When you're lyin' there in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven.
And love is all that I need,
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven.
Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around,
Bring you up when you're feelin' down.
Yeah, nothin' can change what you mean to me,
Oh, there's lots that I could say,
But just hold me now, cause our love will light the way.
CHORUS

I've been waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive,
For love to come along,
Now our dreams are comin' true.
Through the good times and the bad,
Yeah, I'll be standin' there by you.

You're all that I want,
You're all that I need ...
