Lobo Greatest Hits-Japan Lyrics
1.I'd Love You To Want Me

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

When I saw you standing there
I bout fell out my chair
And when you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet.

Now it took time for me to know
what you tried so not to show
Now something in my soul just cries
I see the want in your blue eyes.

Baby, I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be.

You told yourself years ago
You'd never let your feeling show
The obligation that you made
For the title that they gave.


2.Me And You And A Dog Named Boo

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

I remember to this day
The bright red Georgia clay
And how it stuck to the tires
After the summer rain
Will power made that old car go
A woman's mind told me that so
Oh how I wish
We were back on the road again

Me and you and a dog named boo
Travellin' and livin' off the land
Me and you and a dog named boo
How I love being a free man

I can still recall
The wheat fields of St. Paul
And the morning we got caught
Robbing from an old hen
Old McDonald he made us work
But then he paid us for what it was worth
Another tank of gas
And back on the road again

I'll never forget the day
We motored stately into big L.A.
The lights of the city put settlin'
Down in my brain
Though it's only been a month or so
That old car's buggin' us to go
We've gotta get away and get back on
The road again


3.Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

I stopped sending flowers to your apartment
You said you aren't home much anymore
I stopped dropping by without an appointment
Cause I'd hear laughter coming through your door

Sometimes late at night you'll still call me
Just before you close your eyes to sleep
You make me vow to try and stop by sometime
Baby that's a promise I can't keep

I love you too much to ever start liking you
So let's just let the story kinda end
I love you too much to ever start liking you
So don't expect me to be your friend

I don't walk down through the village or other places
That we used to go to all the time
I'm trying to erase you from my memory
'Cause thinking of you jumbles up my mind
You always act so happy when I see you
You smile that way you take my hand and then
Introduce me to your latest lover
That's when I feel the walls start crashing in


4.How Can I Tell Her About You

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

She knows when I'm lonesome, she cries when I'm sad
She's up in the good times, she's down in the bad
Whenever I'm discouraged, she knows just what to do
But girl she doesn't know about you.

I can tell her my troubles, she makes them all seem right
I can make up excuses not to hold her at night
We can talk of tomorrow, I'll tell her things that I want to do
But girl how can I tell her about you.

How can I tell her about you
Girl please tell me what to do
Everything seems right whenever I'm with you
So girl won't you tell me how to tell her about you.

How can I tell her I don't miss her whenever I'm away
How can I say it's you I think of every single night and day
But when is it easy telling someone we're through
Ah girl help me tell her about you.


5.You Are All I Ever Need

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

This morning when you kissed me
And got up out of bed
I moved into the very spot
Where you had laid your head
I felt the warmth of your love move into me
And I knew you are all I'll ever need

As I laid there and I watch you
Getting ready for your day
The sunlight through the window
Put a glow upon your face
I felt your love spread out
All inside of me
And I knew you're all I'll ever need

You are all I'll ever need
Bigger than the air I breathe
You're everything that means
A thing to me
You are all I'll ever need
That's what you are to me
You are love and you are life
You are all I'll ever need

Now I hear you making coffee
And you call out acting sad
You say if I don't get up now
That you might just get mad
But I hide my face underneath the sheets
And pretend to be asleep

Now you're laughing as you jump on me
To tell me goodbye
Your hair smells just like sunshine
There's that something in your eye
And I love the words I know
You'll say to me
You're all I ever need


6.A Day In The Life Of A Love

Written:Johnny Slate/Larry Henley/Jim Hurt

Hey baby, you're a beautiful lady
But I guess that you know it
You sure turn my head around
And I'm sure that I show it

If you'll take the chance on romance
When this dance is over
Maybe we could slide away
To a quieter place

This could be a day in the life of a love
That could last forever
How could we ever know until we try
This could be a day in the life of a love
That could last forever
We'll surly make it last till morning light

What cha saw baby
Does it so to crazy
Well I just had to say it
When my heart speaks to me
I have to obey it

Why don't you say yes
And we'll make the best
Of the rest of the night

But then again
It might never end


7.Where Were You When I Was Falling In Love

Written:Sam Lorber/Jeff Silbar/Steve Jobe

When your eyes met mine
I knew that I had better play it cool
I'm doing my best trying to resist
Cause I ain't no fool

Where in the world did you come from baby
You waited just a little too long
To look my way
Now it's a little to late

Where were you
When I was falling in love
I was looking for you baby
Where were you
When I was falling in love
Looking for you baby
If I'd ever looked in those eyes before
We'd be together tonight I'm sure
Where were you
When I was falling in love
Where were you
Lost and looking for love

If I'd have met you sooner
I'd be talking to ya and playing the game
But the best thing for me to do
Is get up and leave without knowing your name
It might have been something special baby
Something only people in love could understand
Like this ring on my hand


8.I Don't Wanna Make Love Anymore

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

Sometimes when I hold you
You feel so far away
Though you try not to show it
To me it's as clear as day
Our bodies still move together
But something is just not there
And that's not fair
It's not fair

What we had was special
All the loving that we shared
And i don't want to end it
It took us to long to get here
Maybe time apart will bring back
The fire that we can't find
But till that time

I don't wanna make love to you
If you're not into it
Just the act of doing it
Is not enough anymore
I don't wanna make love to you
If we're not feeling it
If we're not meaning it
I don't wanna make love anymore

At times it feels so lonely
Being by myself
But I just can't imagine
Holding on to someone else
Cos after loving you girl
Something less would never do
I'll wait for you
But...


9.Afterglow

Written:Lobo/Roland Holler/Shayla Lobo

I hold your hand and feel your fingers shaking
I wonder what is going through your mind
The only sound we hear is each other breathing
And I can tell we're starting to unwind

You're starring at the painting by the window
And I know that your mind is far away
I reach for you and you move even closer
That makes it easy cos words are hard to say

Afterglow just keeps coming
Lying here with you
Afterglow my mind keeps running
Through a fantasy for two
We both know there's no other
Feeling that makes our love grow
Like love's afterglow

You turn now you're looking into my eyes
I see you like I never could before
I hear you making sounds that say I love you
With everything we do I love you more


10.The Way I Came In

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

The words won't come out easy
And the time just drags on by
The fingers touch
But there is no feeling
And the eyes they can not lie

My thoughts are of leaving
Cos I lives is no longer real
The time has come
To face the music
And recognize the way I feel

I've reached the point
That it's time for me
To start it all over again
I may be going now
With nothing but my pride
But that's the way that I came in
That's the way that I came in

The hurt is way past hurting
And the tears have long since dried
Our love is no longer living
It is the time for good bye

That's the way that I came in
I'm going out the way that I came in


11.Holdin' On For Dear Love

Written:Johnny Slate/Steve Pippin/Larry Henley

It's been the lovers question
Ever since time began
How to keep good romance
From slipping through your hands

It ain't no trick to keep it
To hold on to what you got
The secret to the secret
Is to love and never stop

Got to keep holding on holding on
Holding on for dear love
You better try holding on holding on
Holding on for dear love
You've got to keep holding on holding on
Holding on for dear love
Holding on holding on

Don't you sometimes wonder
How a good love can go bad
Lovers crumble under
When they don't love the love they have

To break apart is tragic
And that is why I say
Cos when you lose that magic
You lose everything


12.Lay Me Down

Lyrics:Guy Fletcher/Doug Flett
Music:Guy Fletcher/Doug Flett

You can run around and fool yourself real easy
You can go around in circles till you drop
But that kind of living is sure to drive you crazy
And there comes a time when the running has to stop

You can spend your nights like a candle both ends burning
But you'd be using up your credits by the score
For there comes a time when your carousel stop turning
You can't raise the price of the ticket anymore

I'm gonna lay me down with you
I feel a change is over due
I'm gonna settle down
And say goodbye you crazy town
It's all I wanna do
I'm coming 'round to lay me down with you

I've dreamed of puttin' some roots down for the future
I've got to find the things of value I once knew
But I've lived so long against my better nature
There's no way I can do it without you


13.Gus, The Dancing Dog

Lyrics:Roger E.Lavoie
Music:Roger E.Lavoie

You go down to the river
To the Natches Kitty Kaw sign
There's a pine wood shack
Sittin' way in the back
Near the Hitchy Coochy
Railway line

There on a porch sits
Grandma Ditty and her old
Hound dog named Gus
Grandma picks on a banjo
And Gus he kicks up a fuss

That dog can dance
He can dance
Ah he can dance
He can dance your troubles away
Yeh Yeh Yeh Yeh

Now some say it's a miracle
But some say it's a case
Of the fleas
Some say it's because
He was raised on Granny's
Old home brew recipe

But he can two paw
Four paw
Tail wagging boogie
He can Rock an Roll it too
He can slip and slide
He can groove and glide
He's gonna pay your bills
And cure your ills
He can dance


14.Spendin' Time, Makin' Love, And Goin' Crazy

Written:Troy Seals/Eddie Setser/Mark Gray

I don't have to try to love you
I just happens naturally
I don't close my eyes to touch you
Cause I don't have to make believe

When I'm with you darling
The feeling's just too much

Spendin' time makin' love and going crazy
Every time going out of my mind over you
Spendin' time makin' love and going crazy
With you

I keep on falling for your love songs
Cause you keep singing something new
I don't need a secret lover
Cause love begins and ends with you


15.Heart To Heart(Person To Person)

Written:Sam Lorber/Jeff Silbar/Mark Gray

Maybe I'm crazy
But I feel insecure
Look me straight in the eye
So I can rest assured

We've been making love so long
I shouldn't have to ask
Is it gonna last

Let's have a heart to heart
Person to person conversation
About our heart to heart
Person to person situation

Please don't touch me now
You always turn me on
The meaning of what we say
Will get lost in our arms

I need to know how you feel
And hear it from you lips
Not from your finger tips

Let it come from the heart
And mean what you say
And I'll believe you
Every word of the way


16.It's Time To Face The Music And Dance

Lyrics:Johnny Slate/Jeff Silbar
Music:Johnny Slate/Jeff Silbar

Standing in the shadows
Can sure get lonely
You got no reason to hide
There's something deep inside
Saying let it go

Listen to your heart beat
It's trying to tell you
This is not a fantasy dream
All that you feel is real
It's time to let it flow

It's time to face the music and dance
It's time to let life hear your song
It's time to face the music and dance
You've been on the shelf too long

So slip off your shoes
And let down your hair
Flow with the feeling in the air
It's time to face the music and dance, dance

Whirling and twirling
You sparkle and shine
And light up the night

And once you start moving
You'll find that the music
Fits you just right
It fits you just right


17.I Can't Believe You Anymore

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

The next time I see you
I know what it will be
You haven't had enough time
To think out you and me
You'll say that you have been lonely
That's not what my friends say
But you'll always deny it
And make things look your way

When I see you the next time
And your eyes burn in to mine
Will that set my doubt lose
And change your lies into truths
Once more
Or is today the day I'll start believing
I can't believe you anymore

You don't want to burn your bridges
On the way to where ever you're bound
You don't want to make commitments
Until you're sure of what you've found
So I keep letting you lead me
Down a road of no return
I know my mind is telling my heart
It's about time you learned


18.New York Hold Her Tight

Written:Austin Roberts/Van Wesley Stephenson

You can't wait to get her in your nightlife
Take her out and show her all your bright lights
She wants to be there at the top of your world
But she's just a little girl

New York, hold her tight
New York, every night
Whisper my name as she sleeps
Don't turn her heart to stone
Don't let her feel alone
If you can hear me, New York

She always dreamed and said she'd be a dancer
And you could teach her, reach her, and romance her
I know she really loves me too
But she had to find out about you

And dance her for awhile
Lead her on and make her smile
But if she wants to come home
I'll be there
Don't turn her heart to stone
Don't let he feel alone
If you can hear me, New York
New York, is she ever coming home?


19.With A Love Like Ours

Lyrics:Don Devaney/Dennis Linde
Music:Don Devaney/Dennis Linde

We just seem to go together
We just seem to hit it off
We might just go on forever
I see no reason for us to stop

With a love like ours
Everything comes easy
Everything comes easy
With a love like ours
With a love like ours
We're sitting pretty
We can have life anyway we want it
With a love like ours

Sometimes with a man and a woman
Everything they do is right
I sure like whatever we're doin'
Cause it shows in our love every night


20.Fight Fire With Fire

Lyrics:Sam Lorber/Jeff Silbar
Music:Sam Lorber/Jeff Silbar

You don't even have to say it
I can feel there's someone in my way

It's not important what his name is
Only how hot the flame is
I intend to put it out tonight

He's got another thing coming
If he thinks I'd give you up
Without a fight

I'm gonna fight fire with fire
Every way I know
I'm gonna fight fire with fire
Till I'm back in control
I'm gonna fight fire with fire
Before I let you go

I've never loved of desperation
But it's a desperate situation
And I can't afford to let you down

So tonight my one and only aim
Is to be your one and only flame
