1.I Wanna Be With You

(eric carmen)

If we were older
We wouldn't have to be worried tonight

Baby oh (oh!) i wanna be with you
So bad (yeah, i wanna be with you)
Oh baby (oh!) i wanna be with you
Oh yeah (yeah, i wanna be with you)

Well tonight (tonight)
The night (the night)
We always knew it would feel so right
So come on baby, i just wanna be with you

Someday's a long time
And we've been waiting so long to be here

Baby oh (oh!) i wanna be with you
So bad (yeah, i wanna be with you)
Oh baby (oh!) i wanna be with you
Oh yeah (yeah, i wanna be with you)

Well tonight (tonight)
The night (the night)
We always knew it would feel so right
So come on baby, i just wanna be with you

Hold me tight
Our love could live forever after tonight
If you believe in what we're doin' is right
Close your eyes and be still

Whoa, baby yeah! i wanna be with you
So bad (yeah, i wanna be with you)
Oh baby (oh!) i wanna be with you
Oh yeah (yeah, i wanna be with you)

Well tonight (tonight)
The night (the night)
We always knew it would feel so right
So come on baby, i just wanna be with you

Oh! i wanna be with you
So bad (yeah, i wanna be with you)
Oh baby (oh!) i wanna be with you
Oh yeah (yeah, i wanna be with you)

Baby oh (oh!) i wanna be with you
So bad (yeah, i wanna be with you)
Oh darlin' (oh!) i wanna be with you
Oh yeah (yeah, i wanna be with you)

Oh, i wanna be with you

2.Goin' Nowhere Tonight

(david smalley/eric carmen)

Goin' nowhere tonight mama,
I'm gonna be stayin' home
You walked out a week ago,
And i'm here sittin' by my telephone

Hopin' you might change your mind
Feelin' sorry i was so unkind

Goin' nowhere tonight mama,
Can't take it no more
I called your number and your daddy said,
You've just gone out the door

How could you throw it all away?
I'd never thought i'd see the day when i'd be...

Goin' nowhere tonight mama,
I'm gonna be stayin' home
You walked out a week ago,
And i'm here sittin' by my telephone

Hopin' you might change your mind
Feelin' sorry i was so unkind

Goin' nowhere tonight mama
Goin' nowhere tonight mama
Goin' nowhere tonight mama


3.Let's Pretend

(eric carmen)

I can't sleep nights
Wishing you were here beside me
Can't help feeling
That's way it ought to be
You know we could run (run, run) away
And i couldn't bear to hear
The things they'd say
Oh no

Baby let's pretend
That tonight could live forever
If we close our eyes
And believe it might come true

Baby let's pretend
We could always be together
But for now just let me
Spend the night with you

Somehow, someday
Things are gonna be so different
Don't cry
Some way
I promise it will be all right
So now that we're all alone
I couldn't bear
To ever take you home
Oh no

Baby let's pretend
That tonight could live forever
If we close our eyes
And believe it might come true

Baby let's pretend
We could always live together
But for now just let me
Spend the night with you

So take me now
My love can't wait
We're almost there now darlin'
Darlin' hold me, hold me
Hold me

Baby let's pretend
That tonight could live forever
If we close our eyes
And believe it might come true

Baby let's pretend
We could always live together
But for now just let me
Spend the night with you


4.Every Way I Can

(david smalley)

I said, 'come on, yeah!
Come on, ooh!
I've been lookin' for someone
Just like you'

I said, 'come on, yeah!
Come on, ooh!
Together we could find out
What to do'

It's not easy when you fall in love
But i'm willin' to try, yes i am
'cause i've been thinkin' 'bout lovin' you
Oh, oh, oh, every way i can

I said, 'come on, baby!
Come on, try!
I know you were hurt
By that other guy'

I said, 'come on, baby!
Come on, please!
To make you happy
I'm on my knees'

It's not easy havin' just one girl
But i'm willin' to try, yes i am
'cause i've been thinkin' 'bout lovin' you
Oh, oh, oh, every way i can

I said, 'come on, baby!
Come on, try!
We got this chance
Don't let it pass you by'

I said, 'come on, baby!
Come on, please!
If you make me happy
Then i'll never leave'

It's not easy when you fall in love
But i'm willin' to try, yes i am
'cause i've been thinkin' 'bout lovin' you
Oh, oh, oh, every way i can

Every way i can
Every way i can


5.I Reach For The Light

(eric carmen)

I can't begin to count the times
I have been by myself
I lie wake my lonely room
Tells me there's no one else
No one else

I reach for the light
It shines above my head
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light
It shines across the room
And brings to mind what might have been

I tell myself i'm better off
No one can have me now
I see your crumpled photograph
It makes me laugh aloud
Laugh aloud

I reach for the light
It shines above my head
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light
It shines across the room
And brings to mind what might have been

And i wish i could forget
How good you look, tonight
When you smiled at me
And walked away with him
Oh, oh no!

I reach for the light
It shines above my head
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light
It shines across the room
And brings to mind what might have been

I reach for the light, now
(i reach for the light)
I tell myself i'm better off
No one can hurt me now
(i reach for the light)
I see your crumpled photograph
It makes me laugh aloud
(i reach for the light)
I lay wake my lonely room
Tells me there's no one there
(i reach for the light)


6.Nobody Knows

(eric carmen/david smalley)

When i see the way she looks at him
Hurts so bad you know it's such a sin
To see her love him, while i just walk on by

Nobody knows
What it does to me
(nobody knows)
No one could ever see
Nobody knows what it does to me

Now those smiles and looks upon her face
Are meant for someone else whose in my place
And he's her lover the way i used to be

Nobody knows
What it does to me
(nobody knows)
No one could ever see
Nobody knows what it does to me

I can see her dancing with someone else
Holding him so close while i'm by myself
I just want to hit him but that won't do
All i know is i've got to find some way
I can get to you

When i see the way she holds his hand
It burns inside me i can't understand
How could she love him t
The way she once loved me

But nobody knows
What it does to me
(nobody knows)
No one could ever see
Nobody knows what it does to me

But nobody knows
What it does to me
(nobody knows)
No one could ever see
Nobody knows what it does to me

Nobody knows


7.It Seemed So Easy

(david smalley/eric carmen)

Rememberin' our love, babe
Rememberin' the good days
The days when we both thought it would stay

Just thinkin' about you
So warm there beside me
I'd look in your eyes
And then you'd say

Words of love to me
Of how it would always be
And how the cloudy days had all gone by
But now i'm wonderin', babe
If it was all a lie?
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye

I'm tryin' to see, babe
How it's gonna be
It's useless, i know,
Each day goes so slow

But i'll always try, babe
Can't accept your goodbye
I'd remember your voice
So soft as you'd sigh

Words of love to me
Of how it would always be
And how the cloudy days had all gone by
But now i'm wonderin', babe
If it was all a lie?
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye

If i could stop
Tell my heart not to love you
I'd have no reason to go on

I'm tryin' to see, babe
How it's gonna be
It's useless, i know,
Each day goes so slow

But i'll always try, babe
Can't accept your goodbye
I'd remember your voice
So soft as you'd sigh

Words of love to me
Of how it would always be
And how the cloudy days had all gone by
But now i'm wonderin', babe
If it was all a lie?
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye

Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye

Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye

Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye


8.Might As Well

(wally bryson)

Might as well give in
Have to say its true
Can't believe it's happened to me, but,
Ooh, i'm glad it's you
I guess you were the one from the start
And try as i may i can't say that we'll part
So i might as well give in
And say i love you

All the times before
All the love we make
I was so afraid of emotions
I could only take
You were there from the start
And try as i may i can say that we'll part
So i might as well give in
And say i love you

All of my other loves
Made me so sad
Don't want to find out
That lovin' you, needin' you,
Makes you feel bad

Might as well give in
Have to say its true
Can't believe it's happened to me, but,
Ooh, i'm glad it's you
I guess you were the one from the start
And try as i may i can't say that we'll part
So i might as well give in
And say i love you

I love you
I love you


9.If You Change You're Mind

(eric carmen)

Well it's all been said, it's all over now
I guess that i should leave
'cause there's nothin' left for me to do
Except to set you free

So let me leave you now before i cry
I'll just go back to my room and hide
And never let no one else inside to
To do this again

But if you change your mind
Won't you take some time
And let me know that you
Still want me too
'cause i'll wait night and day
Until you say that you have
Changed your mind
Won't you change your mind
If you should change your mind
Oh yeah

Well i tried so hard to be the one
That you were dreaming of
But i guess it wasn't quite enough
To make you fall in love

So walk away, leave me by myself
And let me crawl back into my shell
And be the me that i do so well
Before i met you

But if you change your mind
Won't you take some time
And let me know that you
Still want me too
'cause i'll wait night and day
Until you say that you have
Changed your mind
Won't you change your mind
If you should change your mind
Oh yeah

I'll be waitin' at home
Just a call me up on the phone
And i'll be by your side
There's no reason to hide
If you need me just call
Don't you worry at all
But if this is the end
And i can't see you again
I just can't carry on
It's so hard when you're gone
It's so hard when you're gone

Oh oh, oh oh, oh no, oh!

Baby don't leave
Baby don't go
Oh baby don't go

Baby don't go now
Baby, don't leave me
Oh, baby don't go

Baby don't leave
Baby don't go now
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Baby don't go

Baby don't leave me
I need you so bad now
No, no, no, baby
I need you


10.Drivin' Around

(eric carmen/david smalley)

Long hot days
We'll be catchin' the rays
(oh baby) long hot days
We'll be catchin' the rays
You know my tape deck is blastin'
My car's fast

When school lets out
And the summer's here
We'll have some time for the sun
Throw my notebooks out
And put my car in gear
'cause we'll be havin' some fun

Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
You know my tape deck is blastin'
My car's fast,

With my girl by my side
We can go for a ride
To find a place we can dance
And when it gets real dark
We can stop in the park
And have a backseat romance

Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
You know my tape deck is blastin'
My car's fast,
I'm drivin' around, yeah

I'll be waitin' all through the year
Just to get you alone with nobody near
Baby don't be late
'cause i just can't wait
All i wanna do is make love to you

With my girl by my side
We can go for a ride
To find a place we can dance
And when it gets real dark
We can stop in the park
And have a backseat romance, yeah

Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
You know my tape deck is blastin'
My car's fast,
I'm drivin' around, oh yeah

Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
You know my tape deck is blastin'
My car's fast,
I'm drivin' around

(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around
(long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Mama, we'll be drivin' around, and around and around
We'll be drivin' around
