Eric Carmen Singles Lyrics
1.Sparrow

Lyrics:Eric Carmen
Music:Eric Carmen

Sparrow, say that love's a game
win or lose, it's all the same
If it leaves, it comes again,
I don't understand

Never let her be too sure
That would be so immature
Keep her guessing, that's the way
To show you really love her

I'd like to stop these guessing games
If it's all the same to you
'Cause when they're done
If you are gone
You know you'll make me feel so bad now

Sparrow, sparrow, love's a game
I don't understand

I'd like to stop these guessing games
If it's all the same to you
'Cause when they're done
If you are gone
You know you'll make me blue
(Feel so bad now)
(You know you'll make me feel so bad now)

Sparrow, say it's time to go
If you care, don't let it show
Hide it so she'll never know
Then she can't hurt you

Then she can't hurt you


2.Get The Message

Lyrics:Eric Carmen
Music:Eric Carmen

We've been goin' together so long
Can't you feel that there's somethin' wrong?
You only take me half way there,
Come on (Come on)
Come on (Come on)
We can't go on this way
While there's nothin' more to say

Get the message
(Come on now, come on now)
Get the message
(Come on now, come on now)
Can you hear me? Can you clear me?
Get the message

My bedroom wall's been scaled of late
So often it's become my friend
But these great lows are what I've got to end
Come on (Come on)
Come on (Come on)
We can't go on this way
One more hour, one more day

Get the message
(Come on, now)
(Come on, now)
Get the message
(Come on, now)
(Come on, now)
Can you hear me? Can you clear me?
Get the message

Come on (Come on)
Come on (Come on)
We can't go on this way
One more hour, one more day

Get the message
(Come on, now)
(Come on, now)
Get the message
(Come on, now)
(Come on, now)
Can you hear me? Can you clear me?
Get the message
(Come on, now)
(Come on, now)
Can you hear me? Can you clear me?
Get the message


3.Ain't Nothin' Gonna Stop Me

Lyrics:Eric Carmen
Music:Eric Carmen

Everybody says we're through now
I have heard them say, the love we've shared is through
Even if I have to hear these words from you now, baby
I'm gonna keep on lovin', lovin' you

There ain't nothing gonna stop me

And now my love is far too strong
There ain't nothing gonna stop me from loving you

Nothing gonna stop me, babe, from lovin' you
Nothing gonna stop me, babe, from lovin' you

You know I'm gonna love you woman
You know I will
You know I'm gonna love you woman
With everything I've got, oh yeah

4.Southern Comfort

Lyrics:Eric Carmen
Music:Eric Carmen

Northern lovin's mean, so cold and weary
You know, I got to go down South to get love right
And the way they love down South
You know it makes my blood run hot
I need some southern comfort, hey, hey, hey
Gimme some of your southern comfort, hey, hey, hey

Well I've had my fill of gold I trade for women
Now I need some southern hospitality
And the way they love down South,
You know it makes my blood run hot
I need some southern comfort, hey, hey, hey
Gimme some of your southern comfort, hey, hey, hey

So if you wanna keep me satisfied
You gotta give me some southern comfort tonight

Well I've had my fill of gold I trade for women
No, I need some southern hospitality
And the way they love down South,
You know it makes my blood run hot
I need some southern comfort, hey, hey, hey
Gimme some of your southern comfort, hey, hey, hey

And the way they love down South,
You know it makes my blood run hot
Gimme some of your southern comfort, hey, hey, hey
Gimme some of your southern comfort, hey, hey, hey
Some southern comfort, hey, hey, hey
(Oh, you know I want it baby)
Gimme some of your southern comfort, hey, hey, hey


5.I Need Your Lovin'

Lyrics:Eric Carmen
Music:Eric Carmen

Your love
Is softer than the rain
Smile and ease the pain
And heal my mind again

I've got to turn away to keep myself from cryin'
But everywhere I turn, I only see you

I need your lovin' baby
Got to have your lovin' baby
I need your lovin' baby

I've got to have you in every way
I've got to have you in every way
I've got to have you in every way

I need your lovin' baby
Got to have your lovin' baby
I need your lovin' baby

Right now
I give my love to you
And after we are through,
Then I'll belong to you

I've got to have you all to myself, yeah
If I've got you, I don't need nobody else

I need your lovin' baby
Got to have your lovin' baby
I need your lovin' baby

I've got to have you in every way
I've got to have you in every way
I've got to have you in every way

I need your lovin' baby
Got to have your lovin' baby
I need your lovin' baby

I need your lovin' baby
Got to have your lovin' baby
I need your lovin' baby
Got to have your lovin' baby


6.Light The Way

Lyrics:Eric Carmen
Music:Eric Carmen

Dreams
All those silver dreams,
Though destined to be broken
Still linger in my memories as tarnished pages

Loves
That have been and gone,
Left saccharin and ashes
Scattered in a wind of silent indifference

Light the way, light the way
Where do I belong?
Light the way, light the way
Oh, where do I belong?

Tears
Bitter sweatened tears
Have left their burning traces
Of bridges soaked in kerosene and expectation

Light the way, light the way
Where do I belong?
Light the way, light the way
Where do I belong?

Hopes
For a time of peace
Left many broken hearted
For causes that are lost are felt far more deeply

Light the way, light the way
Where do we belong?
Light the way, light the way
Oh, where do we belong?
Oh, where do we belong?


7.The Rock Stops Here

Lyrics:Eric Carmen/Fred Carmen
Music:Eric Carmen/Fred Carmen

A DJ in Cleveland brought some bands to town
When the music got started
They tore the house down
People said everybody just went out of control
Alan Freed grabbed the mike and called it rock'n roll
They started Bandstand in Philly back in '55
And Elvis rock-a-billy brought Memphis alive
L.A. gave us surfers and Detroit's got soul
But there's only one home of rock'n roll

And kids a hundred thousand strong
Burned the phone lines all night long
To send a message loud and clear
In the U.S.A., you know the rock stops here

I said the rock stops here
Little Richard brought Miss Molly
The rock stops here
Peggy Sue's with Buddy Holly
The rock stops here
Everybody's gettin' down
The rock stops here
'Oww!' here comes the great James Brown
The rock stops here
Chuck Berry's with Maybelline
The rock stops here
Jerry Lee's piano's screamin'
The rock stops here
Elvis singin' 'Blue Suede Shoes'
I need a shot of rock-a-billy
with my rhythm and blues

They looked from New York to L.A. to find the spot
Every city in the nation took their very best shot
When the dust all settled, one city stood tall
And they knew who deserved the Rock and Roll Hall
So to prove the facts they already knew
They took a nationwide poll
that made the front page news
When the votes were counted, the results all showed
In Cleveland, we eat, sleep and drink rock'n roll

Kids a hundred thousand strong
Shouted, 'Put the Hall where it belongs'
Now here's the message loud and clear
In the U.S.A., you know the rock stops here

I said the rock stops here
Cathy's Clown's with Don and Phil
The rock stops here
Fats is up on Blueberry Hill
The rock stops here
Ray Charles shoutin' 'What'd I Say'
The rock stops here
And Sam Cooke is 'Twistin' The Night Away'
The rock stops here
Elvis doin' 'Jailhouse Rock'
The rock stops here
Chuck Berry doin' the duck walk
The rock stops here
Little Richard's singin' 'Woooo'
I said, 'Wop-bomp-a-loo-bop Ba-lomp-bam-boom'

Kids a hundred thousand strong
Shouted, 'Put the Hall where it belongs'
Here's the message loud and clear
In the U.S.A., I said the rock stops here

The rock stops here
Little Richard brought Miss Molly
The rock stops here
Peggy Sue's with Buddy Holly
The rock stops here
Everybody's gettin' down
The rock stops here
'Oww!' here comes the great James Brown
The rock stops here
Chuck Berry's with Maybelline
The rock stops here
Jerry Lee's piano's screamin'
The rock stops here
Elvis singin' 'Blue Suede Shoes'
I need a shot of rock-a-billy
with my rhythm and blues

I said the rock stops here
Cathy's Clown's with Don and Phil
The rock stops here
Fats is up on Blueberry Hill
The rock stops here
Ray Charles shoutin' 'What'd I Say'
The rock stops here
And Sam Cooke is 'Twistin' The Night Away'
The rock stops here
Elvis doin' 'Jailhouse Rock'
The rock stops here
Chuck Berry doin' the duck walk
The rock stops here
Little Richard's singin' 'Woooo'
I said, 'Wop-bomp-a-loo-bop Ba-lomp-bam-boom'

I said the rock stops here
Gonna shout it to the nation
The rock stops here
On every radio station
The rock stops here
Say it loud and clear
'Cause in the U.S.A., you know the rock stops here


8.Hungry Eyes

Written:Frankie Previte/John Denicola

I've been meaning to tell you
I've got this feelin' that won't subside
I look at you and I fantasize
Darlin' tonight
Now I've got you in my sights

With these hungry eyes
One took at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I

I want to hold you so hear me out
I want to show you what love's all about
Darlin' tonight
Now I've got you in my sights

With these hungry eyes
One took at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you
And I've got hungry eyes
Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
Now did I take you by surprise

I need you to see
This love was meant to be

I've got hungry eyes
One took at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you
And I've got hungry eyes
Now I've got you in my sights
With those hungry eyes
Did I take you by surprise

With my hungry eyes


9.Make Me Lose Control

Written:Eric Carmen/Dean Pitchford

I run a comb through my hair
and step out in the street
And the city's the color of flame
in the mid-summer heat
Oh yeah

Jennifer's got her daddy's car,
She's playing 'Uptown' on the stereo
We go cruisin' so close,
The way they did long ago
My darlin'

(Turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(Keep) keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control
Baby, baby

(When) when I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever's high with the lights down low
(So take) take me over the edge
Make me lose control

We put the top down and park 'neath the moon
in the sky
And the wind is so hot in our hair, like a fire in July
Whoa yeah

Jennifer's singin' 'Stand By Me,'
And she knows every single word by heart
Was love always this good?
Or could this be just the start?
Whoa darlin'

(Turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(Keep) keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control
Baby, baby

(When) when I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever's high with the lights down low
(So take) take me over the edge
Make me lose control

'Be My Baby' comes on, and were movin' in time
And the heat from your touch makes me feel
like I'm losing my mind
Whoa yeah

(And then they played) 'Back In My Arms' again
(We close our eyes) we start rememberin' when
(We start to kiss) and now the feeling's intense
And we just pray that this night never ends
Wohohoho, my darlin'

(Turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
Keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control
Baaby

When I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever's high with the lights down low
(So take) take me over the edge
Make me lose control
Baby, baby

(Turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(Keep) keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control

When I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever's high with the lights down low
(So take) take me over the edge
Make me lose control
Baby, baby

(Turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(Keep) keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control


10.Reason To Try

Lyrics:John Lind/Phil Gladston
Music:John Lind/Phil Gladston

We went runnin'
Out where the stars are born
We came crashin' down in flames
I could be right
You could be wrong
We could be anything at all
But tonight at least I'm sure

I know this rain will pass
We need a reason to try again
I know this pain won't last
We can find those dreams again
I know

We went screamin'
into the dead of night
We were kicking down the door
Now we can go back
We can go on
We can do anything we want
Anything we want and more

I know this rain will pass
We need a reason to try again
I know this pain won't last
We can find those dreams again
I know
We need a reason to smile again
I know
We need a reason to try again

I could be right
You could be wrong
We could be anything at all
But tonight at least I'm sure

I know this rain will pass
We need a reason to try again
I know this pain won't last
We can find those dreams again
I know
We need a reason to smile again
I know
We need a reason to try
I know

I know this rain will pass
We need a reason to try again
I know this pain won't last
We can find those dreams again
I know this rain will pass
We need a reason to try again
I know this pain won't last
We can find those dreams again


11.My Heart Stops

Lyrics:Diane Warren
Music:Diane Warren

I tell myself
This can't be love
That I'm feelin'
But if I think that my world
Will be the way that it was
I'm dreamin'

Why do I feel so high
At the mention of your name
Why do I act so shy
Can't explain, can't explain, can't explain
But darlin'

Wo-wo-wo when you go walkin' by
My heart stops
My heart stops
I can't explain it
Wo-wo-wo when you look in my eye
My heart stops
My heart stops
Every time you're near

Just thinkin' about you
Darlin' it just does
Something to me
And when we meet on the street
I feel the flame of love
Burnin' through me

I try to play it cool
And never show a sign
But I give myself away
Every time, every time, every time
'Cause darlin'

Wo-wo-wo when you go walkin' by
My heart stops
My heart stops
I can't explain it
Wo-wo-wo when you look in my eye
My heart stops
My heart stops
Every time you're near

My heart stops, my heart stops
My heart stops, my heart stops

Oh, whenever you're close to me
There's a wave of love rushin' over me
And I never felt this way
Can't explain, can't explain, can't explain
But darlin'
My darlin'

Wo-wo-wo when you go walkin' by
My heart stops
My heart stops
I can't explain it
Wo-wo-wo when you look in my eye
My heart stops
My heart stops
Every time you're near
