Keith Urban 1991 Lyrics
1.Only You

Written:Johanna Pigott/Todd Hunter

I've been through ups and downs
I haven't known which way to turn
And when I wander through this town
I only think of you

Chorus:
Only you, can take my bad heart and make it good
Only you, can take my crooked path and make it new

On the day that I was born
The cards were dealt, the dice were thrown
I think my destiny was drawn
I can only be with you

Chorus:
Only you, can take my bad heart and make it good
Only you, can take my crooked path and make it new

Chorus:
Only you, can take my bad heart and make it good
Only you, can take my crooked path and make it new

In My heart is only you.

And my soul is all there too

I built myself a prison cell
The walls are painted blue
Only you can let me out
Only you

Chorus:
Only you, can take my bad heart and make it good
Only you, can take my crooked path and make it new

Only you, can take my bad heart and make it good, girl
Only you, can take my crooked path and make it new

Chorus:
Only you, can take my bad heart and make it good
Only you, can take my crooked path and make it new

Only you, only you...


2.Got it Bad

Lyrics:Keith Urban/H Field
Music:Keith Urban/H Field

I hit the highway and I checked the time
I see the sunrise and it makes me wanna change my mind
Oh I got it bad
I stopped for a coffee in a nowhere town
A pretty waitress says 'Hey what's the frown
Boy you got it bad'
Well so many times you told me before
If you don't like it, well there's the door
This time I've gone for good and I got it bad

CHORUS
I got it badder than a broken heart
Badder then the devil's smile
And I can't face bein' apart
I guess I'll have to leave but meanwhile
Oohh I got it bad

Moonlight on the water still looks the same
Pretty girl beside me but I don't know her name
Guess I got it bad
I'm too weak to say no, too lonely to care
I'll believe her if she says hey baby
I got to love to spare
Well tomorrow I'll take it like a man
Tonight I'm taking all I can
This time I went for good and I got it bad

CHORUS x 3


3.Blue Stranger

Lyrics:Paul Kelly
Music:Paul Kelly

Hello blue stranger, sittin' there all alone
With your glass of sorrow, you seem so far from home
Maybe you will let me, buy a round or two
I'm a blue stranger too

Well, hello blue stranger, I haven't seen your around
But I know every reason, for leavin' town
We might know each other, before the night is through
I'm a blue stranger too

And strangers fall in love, all the time
All lovers were strangers once
Just like us, a little unsure, chattin' out hi's

Well, hello blue stranger, will you take a chance
Well I might be mistaken, but I see meaning in your glance
Maybe this could be the start of something new
I'm a blue stranger too

(Keith's guitar solo)

And strangers fall in love, everyday
All lovers were strangers once
Just like us, a little unsure of our little ways

Well, hello blue stranger, sittin' there all alone
With your glass of sorrow, you seem so far from home
Maybe you will let me, buy you a round or two
I'm a blue stranger too

Hello blue stranger, Hello blue stranger
Hello blue stranger.


4.Without You

Lyrics:Keith Urban
Music:Keith Urban

Oh girl you get to me
In a way I can't believe
I need you
And who knows where just friends ends
When your cross that line and love begins
In over my head and the water's turnin' blue

CHORUS
But what would I do
Without you
What would I do
Without you

Hearts never know the way
They want to go and want to stay
We need two
But in time you find the road
And though inside you know you've gotta go
The hardest part I find
Is you're all I ever knew

CHORUS

But what will I do
Without you
What will I do
Without you

I gotta break these habit chains I put on me
And be all that I can be, try and find
what I need
Memories suspend in time
All the days when you were mine
And the chance I took to move
One I thought I'd never do

CHORUS

But I made it through
Without you
I made it through
Without you

From what would I do
Without you
To I made it through
Without you, Without you

REPEAT TO FADE


5.Arms of Mary

Written:Ian Sutherland/George Sutherland

The light shines down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh how I wish I was lyin' in the arms of Mary

She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feel good
Oh how I wish I was lyin' in the arms of Mary

CHORUS
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She out me right on my first mistake

Summer wasn't gone
when I learned all she had to give
She really gave all a boy could take

So now when I get lonely
Still lookin for my one and only
That's when I wish was lyin' in
The Arms of Mary

(repeat chorus)


6.Yesterday

Lyrics:Keith Urban/G M Holden
Music:Keith Urban/G M Holden

I remember as a kid wishin' I was seventeen
No more school, my own car.
Back then it was all a dream
Then came the day to say goodbye
To the room that was once mine
One last look at my old world then
I closed the door behind, to

Chorus:
Yesterday, everything was easy
Livin' life like there was no tomorrow
Now everyday memories still remind me
How good things used to be yesterday

Well thirty-five soon rolled around
And everything had changed
I could count friends on one hand and
The good times weren't the same
But finally I cam to understand why people say
Don't spend all your childhood wishin'
The best years away

Chorus:
Yesterday, everything was easy
Livin' life like there was no tomorrow
Now everyday memories still remind me
How good things used to be yesterday

Now I'm longin' for the freedom
That I let slip away
I took it all for granted
Now it's gone like yesterday

Chorus:
Yesterday, everything was easy
Livin' life like there was no tomorrow
Now everyday memories still remind me
How good things used to be, yesterday

When everything was easy
Livin' life like there was no tomorrow
Now everyday memories still remind me
How good things used to be yesterday

Remembering all those years, yesterday


7.Don't Go

Lyrics:Keith Urban/G M Holden
Music:Keith Urban/G M Holden

I've seen it happen too many times
And just where it starts I don't know
You're travelling steady but you don't see the signs
That tell you there's a fork in the road
And you don't think it's right but you're both turnin' away
And the ending is always the same
When suddenly parallel lives drift apart
And there's no one accepting the blame
But girl you and I we got too much too lose
By one of us saying goodbye
And I see it clearly we're both meant to be
But you got that look in your eyes

CHORUS:
Don't go, don't go
Cause you might regret everything
When you wake up on your own
Oh no, I'm not lettin' go
And I never will surrender what we got together

Layin' beside you I can't sleep at all
Wonderin' what your thinkin' inside
Will I wake up and find that
You've made up your mind to
Go it alone for awhile
And don't say it's present when it's all in the past
You gotta stop lookin' behind
And take everything as it comes for today is
The first day of the rest of your life

REPEAT CHORUS

Don't go, oh never say goodbye, Don't go
Oh no, you got that look in your eyes
I've seen it before, you're gonna walk out that door

REPEAT CHORUS 2x


8.Hold on to Your Dreams

Lyrics:Keith Urban/G M Holden
Music:Keith Urban/G M Holden

Monday morning, another workin' week ahead
Friday seems so far away
The clock keeps ringin', I gotta get up out of bed
Maybe this could be the day
Motivation, well it keeps you holdin' on
Every step of the way
Headin' in the right direction when you think you're turnin'
wrong
Lookin' out for when you stray
So hear what I say
There's no other way, you gotta

CHORUS:
Hold onto your dreams
'Cause someday baby
Your ship is gonna come in, so
Hold onto your dreams
'Cause everything ya see
Comes true if you believe in holdin'
On to your dreams

Well I know sometimes it's hard to see the light
Shinin' at the tunnel's end
And though the road just goes on and on for miles
Faith lives just around the bend
So now and then, remember

Hold onto your dreams
'Cause someday baby
Your ship is gonna come in, so
Hold onto your dreams
And everything ya see
Comes true if you believe in holdin'
On to your dreams

Just like your eyes are the window to the soul
Dreams are the highway that lead to your goal
Hold on, hold on
You've got to hold on
Hold on

(Oh, you just got to hold on)

Hold onto your dreams
'Cause someday baby
Your ship is gonna come in, so
Hold onto your dreams
'Cause someday baby,
Your ship is gonna come in, so
Hold onto your dreams,
'Cause someday baby,
Your ship is gonna come in, so
Hold onto your dreams
'Cause everything ya see,
Comes true if you believe
In holding on to your dreams.


9.Lovin' on the Side

Lyrics:Keith Urban/G M Holden
Music:Keith Urban/G M Holden

I can't believe it, guess I'll never understand
Seems to me, I'm lookin' at someone who's
an unchanged man
Tell me, what've I gotta do
To make you see that she's always loved you
Right there waitin' in the wings
Unaware of the foolish things you do, think about it

CHORUS:
She would never do a thing to hurt you
And there is nothing she'd ever need to hide
You're takin everything she gives for granted
You got it all and still I don't know why
You're lovin' on the side

If somebody told her 'bout your secret ways
Do you think you'd ever find another
who could take her place
I'd give everything I own
Just to have what you got at home
But still you are never satisfied
Why do you keep lovin' on the side when you know

REPEAT CHORUS

Tell me what I've gotta do
To make you see that she always loved you
Right there waitin' in the wings
Unaware of the foolish things you do,
well think about it
You're lovin' on the side
Lovin' on the side

REPEAT CHORUS


10.Future Plans

It's six Monday morning, she's back into her routine
Kicks off the covers, and thinks about last night's dream
Shower and coffee, she heads for the train
Thinkin' how every day's the same
There's gotta be more than a life on her own
All that she wants is a man to come home to

CHORUS:
She's lookin' for someone to love her
And stay forever true
Just somebody who she can believe in
And say they need her too
She's lookin' for someone to hold her
Until the light of day
Somebody she can make future plans with
And know he's here to stay

Late in the evening she is dreamin' in black and white
An old love story she wishes portrayed her life
No one would know what goes on in her mind
Thinkin' it's only a matter of time
Til' someday she finds what she's lookin' for
And her ship'll come sailin' into her shore

REPEAT CHORUS

She's lookin' for someone to love her (Oh, someone to love her)
And stay forever true (Oh, no)
Just somebody who she can believe in
And say they need her too (Someone who needs her too)
She's lookin' for someone to hold her
Until the light of day (Oh, until the light of day)
Somebody she can make future plans with
And know he's here to stay.


11.Love We Got Goin'

We've spent a long time side by side
Guess I've loved you forever
Sometimes we laughed, , at times we cried
Still we made it together.

I don't know what I'd do without you
Girl you make me smile
You know I can't stop thinkin' about you
Oh, you drive me wild.

Chorus:
Baby, our love is still comin' on strong
You give me strength that I needed so long
I can't explain how I feel in my heart
But the love we got goin' will never fall apart.


Now here you are still in my arms
After so many years have gone
It seems we both were meant to be
Now that all of the tears have gone.

And when it's time to settle down
And get ourselves a home
I'll be beside you all the way
Never again will you be alone.

Chorus:
Baby, our love is still comin' on strong
You give me strength that I needed so long
I can't explain how I feel in my heart
But the love we got goin' will never fall apart...

13.The River

Lyrics:Keith Urban
Music:Keith Urban

I know a place where love flows like water
You sit on the bank and pass the time away
So take my hand I want to show you something
My very own lover's hideaway

CHORUS:
And I will take you down the river
Where we'll will be lovin' in the shade of the old willow tree
I'll take you down to the river
Where you and I can just be you and me

I see us know just lyin' underneath the heavens
Sippin' on wine with nothing much to do
Just you in my arms when the sun is settin'
Then makin' sweet love in the night of Mr Moon

REPEAT CHORUS

You know I'll love you anyway
All I will feel the same until the sun don't shine
All I want to do is stay
Cause you're a once in every lifetime oohh

REPEAT CHORUS 2x


14.What Love Is That Way

Lyrics:G Burr/Keith Urban
Music:G Burr/Keith Urban

You come here lookin' for sympathy
Cause it's not everything you thought it would be
Don't waste your time
You can't understand why it comes and goes
The sudden storms, the highs and lows
So you stand here cryin'
Girl get in line

CHORUS:
What love is that way
You're waitin' time pretending
What love is that way
When you walk through life expecting
So much, so soon
Love can only hurt you
What love is that way
What love is ever that way

The more you wish and the more you dream
The more the reality never seems
What it ought to be
It's never perfect as when it begins
Time always seems to put an end
To the fantasy, It seems to me

REPEAT CHORUS

So much, so soon, Love can only hurt you
What love is that way
What love is ever that way, What love is that way

REPEAT TO FADE


15.I Never Work on a Sunday

Lyrics:Keith Urban
Music:Keith Urban

CHORUS:
I never work on a Sunday
I've got a life of my own
And this here is the one day
I spend with my family at home

I left the office in a flash on Friday
Threw my boots in the car
Cashed my pay cheque & headed for the country
To sleep underneath the stars
I drove all day Saturday and right into the evenin' 'till there
were no more city lights
Those broken lines were gettin' blurry through my windscreen
Well I guess I drove all night
Then Sunday mornin' found me rollin' into sunrise
With my fuel gauge dead
I pulled into fill up, found the place deserted and a little
sign that read...

CHORUS

All I could do is call up a tow truck
To take me further down the road
I fumbled round & round for some change in my pocket,
walked fifteen minutes to the phone
There in the phone book I found a business ad-vert, saying 'Use
Us Instead'
I dialed the number and a tape recorder answered and it politely
said...

CHORUS

I finally got back home and it took forever
Then at work the next day
Somebody said
'Hey the boss said he wants to see you in his office right away'
He told me just how far behind the work was getting
And on the weekend could I stay
I started laughin' and said 'You must be kiddin'
I just got one thing to say...you know what I said...

REPEAT CHORUS 2x

I'm quite entitled to one day,
to spend with my family at home
