Michael bolton Playlist:The Very Best Of Lyrics
1.Steel Bars

in the night i hear you speak
turn around your in my sleep
yeah...
feel your hands inside my soul
holding on and you won't let go
yeah...
I try to run but theres no where to stay
I keep dangling and i just can't break these

Steel bars wrapped around me
I've been your prisoner since the day you found me
i'm bound forever til the end of time
Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine

trying hard to recognize
see the face behind the eyes
yeah..
In your heart theres weights like chains
but my heart there still remains
oh..
I'm still running but theres nowhere to hide
my love for you has got me locked up inside these

Steel bars wrapped around me
I've been your prisnoer since the day you found me
i'm bound forever til the end of time
Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine

every damn step i take
every desperate move i make
it's clear to me
what could all my living mean
the time i tell is so obscene
time itself don't mean a thing
I'm still in love with you

(steel bars wrapped around me
I've been your prisoner since the day you found me
I'm bound forever til the end of time
Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine)

Steel bars wrapped around me
I've been your prisnoer since the day you found me
i'm bound forever til the end of time
Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine


2.Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything, everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll just remain the same

I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home
I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time...


3.When A Man Loves A Woman

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'd trade the world for the good things found
If she is bad he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend if he puts her down

When a man loves a woman
He'd spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
Sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be

When a man loves a woman
I'd give you everything I've got
Trying to hold onto your precious love
Baby, baby please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
More than eyes can ever see

That's when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how it feels
'Cause baby, baby when a man loves a woman
When a man loves a woman


4.To Love Somebody

There's a light
a certain kind of light
that never shown on me
I want my life to be
lived with you
lived with you

There's a way
everybody says
to do each and every little thing
but what does it bring
if i ain't got you
if i ain't got you

baby you don't know what its like
baby you don't know what its like
to love somebody
to love somebody
the way I love you

In my mind
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
you ain't got to be so blind
but I'm blind
so very blind

I'm a man
can't you see what i am
I live and breathe and for you
but what good does it do
if i ain't got you
if i ain't got you

baby you don't know what its like
baby you don't know what its like
to love somebody
to love somebody
the way i love you


5.Go The Distance

I have often dreamed, of a far off place,
Where a hero's welcome, would be waiting for me,
Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face,
And a voice keeps saying, 'this is where I'm meant to be.'

I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, if I can be strong,
I'll know every mile, will be worth my while,
When I go the distance I'll be right where I belong.

Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
Though the road may wander, it will lead me to you,
And a thousand years, would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through.

And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its harms
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms

I will search the world, I will face its harms,
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms


6.Soul Provider

Talk about love, talk about trust
Talkin' 'bout forever, baby
When you're talkin' 'bout us
I give you my word, stick to my guns
Believe me, when I tell you, baby
That we've just begun
You don't understand, no
The full intent of my plan

Baby, I wanna be soul provider, yeah
Baby, I wanna stay that way for the longest time
Baby, I wanna be soul provider
Just say you'll let me and, darlin', I will, I will yeah

I know you've been hurt,
I know your loves shy
You don't have to say it, baby
It's gonna take some time
You got my heart in the palm of your hands
Swear, it's gonna stay there, baby,
Give me half a chance
You don't understand, no
The full intent of my plan

Baby, I wanna be soul provider
And, baby, I wanna stay that way for the longest time
Baby, I wanna be soul provider
Just say you'll let me and,darlin', I will

I've been waitin' for a long time for somebody like you
To give my love, all my love day and night oh
Just say you'll be mine for the rest of your life
Baby, I'll show you why

I wanna be soul provider
Baby, I wanna be soul provider, yeah
Oh honey, I wanna stay that way for the longest time
Baby, I wanna be, wanna be your soul provider, yeah
Baby...Talk about love...Talk about trust...
I wanna, I wanna be, baby, I wanna be your soul,
Your soul provider...


7.Reach Out I'll Be There

Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all of your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion
And your world around you is crumblin' down
Darling reach out darlin' reach out for me

I'll be there
To give you all the love you need
And I'll be there
You can always count on meWhen you feel lost and about to give
up
'Cause your best just ain't good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you're driftin' out all on your own
And you need a hand to hold
Darlin' reach out darlin' reach out for meI'll be there
With the love that will shelter you
I'll be there
With all the love that will see you throughCHORUS:I can tell the
way you hang your head
You're without love and now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found
I know what you're thinkin' you're alone now
No love of your own
But darlin' reach out
Darlin' reach out for meCHORUS:I'll be there
With the love that will shelter you
I'll be there
With the love that will see you through


8.Only A Woman Like You

It's beautiful, your honesty
You cry when you need to
You say what you feel
You're never afraid to wear your heart on your sleeve
You're always so open with me

It's in your voice, I can hear it
The sound of a woman in love

Only a woman can love you so much
Give you her life and give you her trust
Not any woman can do what you do
Only a woman like you

It's magical, your love for me
It's more than a man could ever receive
I'm just a man and it's hard to believe
A woman like you could love me

It's in your eyes, I can see it
The look of a woman in love

If only I could find the words to say
But I just can't, so forgive me
Cause you took the words away
You answered every prayer I always prayed

It's in your touch, I can feel it
The feeling of a woman in love


9.Missing You Now

I talk to you but it's not the same as touchin' you
And every time you whisper my name ,I wanna run to you
We'll be together, it won't be long, it won't be long
But it feels like forever and it's hard to be strong

Baby, 'cause I'm missing you now
And it's drivin' me crazy
How I'm needin' you, baby
I'm missing you now
Can't wait till I'm alone with you
To show you how I'm missing you now

Wishin' you were here by my side is all that I can do
Got my arms around my pillow at night,
They should be holdin' you
Thought I was stronger, how could I know, how could I know
I can't take this much longer, it's so hard on my soul

Baby, 'cause I'm missing you now
And it's drivin' me crazy
I've gotta be with you, baby
I'm missing you now
Don't know what I'm gonna do
To show the way I'm missing you now

Baby, I just can't wait, till I see your face
Chase away this loneliness inside
When you're close to my heart, right here in my arms
Then and only then will I be satisfied
Missing you now

I know, we'll be together, it won't be long, it won't be long
But it feels like forever and it's hard to be strong

Baby, 'cause I'm missing you now
And it's drivin' me crazy
How I'm needin' you, baby
Can't wait till I'm alone with
To show you how I'm missing you now

Missing you ,missing you
Baby, I should be holdin' you, kissin' you
I'm missing you
Don't know what I'm gonna do
To show the way I'm missing you now
Missing you, missing you now
And it's drivin' me crazy
How I'm needin' you, baby
I'm missing you now


10.Sexual Healing

Heal me, my darling
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing, oh baby
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind

Sexual Healing baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and
Honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the things you're dealing
I can tell you, darling, that it's Sexual Healing
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, let's make love tonight
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, 'cos you do it right
Baby I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
And when I get that feeling

I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual Healing, baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
And it's good for me and it's good to me
My baby ohhh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it
Honey, oh we're feeling fine
You're my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great
I can't wait for you to operate

Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up

I can tell you, darling, that it's Sexual Healing
Sexual oh ya
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve the mind
Sexual Healing baby Healing
Sexual baby
Oh when I get that feeling
Sexual Healing, oh baby
Oh when I get that feeling
Heal me, my darling


11.Fools Game

When I met you,oh
You know at first you had me so confused
I used to lay awake at night
Just copin' with the feelings I so long refused
Well I surrendered my love
I saw you turn your heart stone cold to ice, darlin'
I put my heart on the line for you
Oh, I did, I put my heart on the line, yeah
First you take me to the highest ground
Then you keep me hanging like some foolish clown
CHORUS:
It's such a fools' game, yeah
It's such a fools' game
I keep playing such a fools' game,yeah(forever)
I keep on playin', keep on playin' this fools' game
Yeah, this fools' game
I can't take another sleepless night
Trying to light the fire down inside of you
I don't mind if I have to swallow my pride
To get a feeling that you never knew
You never knew
Got the secret in the palm of your hands
Will you keep it woman, will you break this man
CHORUS
Girl I know, you're playin' full time
But I may be too late, when you make up your mind
You keep me in this fools' game
Forever in your fools' game
You got me caught up in this fools' game
Such a fools' game,oh no, a fools' game
How long will you keep me in this fools' game


12.How Am I Supposed To Live Without You

I could hardly believe it, when I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leaving, someone's swept your heart away
From the look upon your face, I see it's true.
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the plans you're making
Then tell me one thing more before I go

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been loving you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
How am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been living for is gone.

I didn't come here for crying, didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
And how can I blame you, when I build my world around

The hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends
And I don't want to know the price i'm gonna pay for dreaming
When even now it's more than I can take

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been loving you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
How am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been living for is gone.

And I don't want to face the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming
Now that your dream has come true.


13.Completely

Completely, wanna give my love, completely
I'd rather be alone than be in love just half a way
I want to find someone that I can trust

Completely, wanna give my heart, completely
To someone who'll completely give their heart to only me
And than I find that one that's when I'll fall in love

Completely, not half but whole with heart and soul
Completely, not in between but everything, completely
That's the way it's got to be,
The way I want someone to fall in love with me

Forever, wanna feel the word forever
And know there'll be somebody there forever by my side
And when that feeling comes, that's when I'll give my love

It's all or nothing at all for this heart of mine
And I won't give up this heart until the day I find
Somebody who can be someone who loves me

The way I need someone to fall in love with me, oooh oooh


14.Everybody's Crazy

Sweet little girl, she's the high school queen
She lives tonight, in every school boys' dream
Oh, but nobody knows how she's cryin'
She's just a child goin' on seventeen

She gets so confused by her friends and their scenes
They don't mean what they say
They don't say what they mean
She reads the signs, reads between the lines
But it makes no difference
There's no reason or rhymeJust hold on girl, as long as you can
In time you'll learn what you don't understand
It's the human condition, it's the nature of manCHORUS:
Everybody's crazy, everybody's crazy
Everybody's crazy, everybody's crazyThis city boy, he don't want
no control
He just wanna party and play his rock 'n' roll
But here they come to turn the pressure on
Say'n son, your partyin' days are goneThe time has come now to
be a man
Find your place in the world, gotta take what you can
You've got no ambition, take a look at yourself
When ya gonna straighten out, be like everybody elseThe boy said
listen dad, you're bringin' me down
I am who I am, I've had a good look around
There's one thing in the world I can tell you I've
foundCHORUS:There ain't no wonder things are so outta hand
Sooner or later, ya come to understand
The human condition, it's the nature of man
