1.Nobody Knows
Lyricist：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 tender looks upon her face
Are meant for someone else who's in my place
And he's her lover, the way I used to be
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, the way she once loved me
Nobody knows
2.I Saw The Light
Lyricist：Wally Bryson, Eric Carmen
Old friends, bookends
Solitaire for two
'Til she was leaving
I never really knew
When I looked in her eyes
(I saw the light)
I realized
(I saw the light)
It was all when I looked in her eyes
(I saw the light)
I realized
There's a knock on the door
Then you're home forever more
And now that you're here
There is nothing to fear
(It was all)
When I looked in her eyes
(I saw the light)
I realized
(I saw the light)
3.Let's Pretend
Lyricist：Eric Carmen
I can't sleep nights, wishing you were here beside me
Can't help feeling that's the way it ought to be
You know we could run away
But 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, someway I promise it'll be all right
So now that we're all alone
I couldn't bear to leave to 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
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
4.I Reach for the Light
Lyricist：Eric Carmen
I can't begin to count the times
I have been by myself
I lie awake 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 out loud, laugh out loud
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 out loud
(I reach for the light)
I lay wake my lonely room
Tells me there's no one there
(I reach for the light)
(I reach for the light)
5.Don't Want To Say Goodbye
Lyricist：W Bryson, Eric Carmen
Don't want to drive your love away from me
Don't want to waste your time
You're here and there and far away from me
I'm so alone, it's just a crime
If you could lie here by my side at night
If you could chase away my blues
You'd understand just how it feels at night
To have to stand inside my shoes
Don't want to say goodbye
Don't want to let you see me cry
Still, I don't want you to live a lie
I'm gonna try a little harder
I'm gonna try a little harder
I'm gonna try a little harder
And maybe you'll love me
Don't want to drive your love away from me
Don't want to waste your time
You're here and there and far away from me
I'm so alone, it's just a crime
Don't want to say goodbye
Don't want to let you see me cry
Still, I don't want you to live a lie
I'm gonna try a little harder
I'm gonna try a little harder
I'm gonna try a little harder
And maybe you'll love me
Maybe you'll love me
Maybe you'll love me
Maybe you'll love me
6.Drivin' Around
Lyricist：Eric Carmen, D 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

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)

Drivin' around
(Long hot days, we'll be catchin' the rays)
7.If You Change You Mind
Lyricist：Eric Carmen
Well it's all been said, it's 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 now before I cry, I'll just go back to my room
and hide
And never let no one else inside 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 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, oh baby, baby don't go, oh baby don't go
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

If you should change your mind, oh yeah
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
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
8.I'm a Rocker
Lyricist：Eric Carmen
Back beat boogie got a hold on me

When I think of all your lovin'
It makes me shiver, yeah

Just wait 'til I get you alone
Ecstasy
When you touch me I'm in ecstasy
No one else could do the things you do
Let me please you too tonight
Ecstasy
When you kiss me I'm in ecstasy
No one else could make me feel this way

Turn off the lights
10.Starting Over
Lyricist：Eric Carmen
Used to feel so fucking optimistic till she said goodbye
Never thought a love like ours could die
Told myself, I'd never love another all I want is friends
But when we met, I felt it all again
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had a chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
Every evening, I would watch the sunset end another day
Let the night time wash my blues away
Buried my romantic inclination deep inside of me
Till I fell for you immoderately
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had a chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
I remember all the good times
And the bad times spent together
Why remember all the old times
When the new times look much better, much better？
Though I am starting over under cloudy skies
I say hello to love I'm seeing through different eyes
And if I had a chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you
And if I had a chance to make one wish
And know it would come true
I'd start all over with you, with you
11.I Want to Be with You
Lyricist：Eric Carmen
If we were older
We wouldn't have to be worried tonight
Baby oh, I wanna be with you
So bad, yes, I wanna be with you
Oh, baby, I wanna be with you
Oh yeah, I wanna be with you
Well, tonight's the night
We always knew it would feel so right
So come on baby, I just wanna be with you
Some day's a long time
And we've been waiting so long to be here
Baby oh, I wanna be with you
So bad, yes, I wanna be with you
Oh, baby, I wanna be with you
Oh yeah, I wanna be with you
Well, tonight's 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 that what we're doing is right
Close your eyes and be still
Oh baby oh, I wanna be with you
So bad, yes, I wanna be with you
Oh, baby, I wanna be with you
Oh yeah, I wanna be with you
Well, tonight's 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, yes, I wanna be with you
Oh, baby, I wanna be with you
Oh yeah, I wanna be with you
Oh baby oh, I wanna be with you
So bad, yes, I wanna be with you

12.If You Change Your Mind
Lyricist：Eric Carmen
Well, it's all been said, it's over now
I guess that I should leave
'Cause there's nothing left for me to do
Except to set you free
So let me leave now before I cry
I'll just go back to my room and hide
And never let no one else inside
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 to hear 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 know so well
Before I met you
I'll be waiting at home
Just 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 no
Oh, no, oh, no, oh
Baby don't leave, oh baby
Baby don't go
Oh, baby, don't go
13.Go All the Way
Lyricist：Wally Bryson, Eric Carmen
Might love you
I never knew how complete love could be
'Til she kissed me and said
'Baby, please, go all the way, it feels so right
Being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way, just hold me close
Don't ever let me go'
I couldn't say what I wanted to say
'Til she whispered, 'I love you'
'So please, go all the way, it feels so right
Being with you here, tonight
Please, go all the way, just hold me close
Don't ever let me go'
Before her, alone, I was cruel and mean
There was a hole in the place where my heart should have been
But now I'm changed and I feel so strange
I come alive when she says all those things to me
And she says
(Come on)
Come on
(Come on, come on)
Come on
(Come on)
I need you
(Come on)
I love you
(Come on)
I need you
(Come on, come on)
Please, go all the way, it feels so right
Being with you here, tonight
Please, go all the way, just hold me close
Don't ever let me go, no
14.I Don't Know What I Want
Lyricist：Eric Carmen
My old man says success is the measure
Maybe so but I don't need the pressure
Not right now 'cause I got enough
Teachers tell me I don't lack the brains
Ask if I'm under some kind of strain
Well, that's too much and I really can't take it
They all say that I'm not getting younger
And I better make up my mind
Man, you'd think I was committin' some kinda crime
'Cause I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
But I want it now
When I talk they just don't wanna listen
Then they push me to make some decision
I can't wait and they wonder why
Everyone says I've got no direction
They want me sent to a house of correction
That's too much when I really can't take it
When I try to relieve my frustration
Seems like nothing I can do is right
My mind is aching and I'm sick of being so uptight
'Cause I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
But I want it now
All my life they complained that I'm just a dreamer
But I can't make a move when they wound my pride
When they say it must stop
I don't know what to do
Some one give me a clue
'Cause I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I want
But I want it now, I want it now
Oh, give it to me
Oh, yeah
15.I Can Remember
Lyricist：Eric Carmen
I can remember
Summer skies and your eyes
And in September
When I first realized
That I needed you to be
The other half of me
And my love long locked inside itself
Had finally been set free
I can remember
Autumn skies and goodbyes
Hurting so badly
That I thought I would die
But more things seem to change
The more they stay same
And the lonely ones get lonelier
With every passing day
From the day we met I knew that I should
Never let you
Get a hold on me 'cause now you see I
Can't forget you
Oh, I, I can remember
Midsummer skies
Love in your eyes
In the spring, the sun will shine and make the
Ice surrender
But it will not warm my heart as long as
I remember
And I, I will remember
Midsummer skies
Love in your eyes
And I, I will remember
The times I've cried
Since you said goodbye
And I nearly died when you said
'I, I can't let you down anymore
So I guess this is goodbye'
What？ What did you do it for？
Every time I think of you and him together
I break down and cry
Oh, I, I can remember
The tears I've cried
Since you say goodbye
I can remember
I can remember
I can remember
I can remember
I can remember
I can remember
Oh, I, I can remember
Midsummer skies
Love in your eyes
And I, I can remember
The times I've cried
Since you said goodbye
16.Cruisin' Music
Lyricist：Eric Carmen
Get up in the morning, check out the weather
If it looks like sun, I get my things together
Throw some cutoffs on
Got my tank-top and tennises now and head for the beach
Well, I'm drivin' down the highway
Losin' all my patience, pushin' all the buttons
Tryin' to find a station with a screamin' jock
Turnin' out my daily ration of
(Cruisin' music, sure good music)
To put the fun back in summertime
I need some cruisin' music to make everything alright
Well, I'm flyin' down the freeway
Floatin' like a feather
I've got my windows rolled down
In the hot summer weather
With my radio up loud
Nothing makes me feel better
Than some good rock 'n' roll
(Good good, good rock and roll)
Those suntanned girls are lookin' outta sight
A beach-drenched chick would never get uptight
'Cause when the sun goes down
We'll be dancin' through the night and singin'
(Cruisin' music, sure good music)
To put the pop back in summertime
I need some cruisin' music to make everythin' alright
It's time you heard some happy music
God knows this world could really use a little sunshine
So won't you make mine
(Yeah)
You know I need some more of that
(Cruisin' music, sure good music)
To put the fun back in summertime
I need some cruisin' music to make everything alright
(Cruisin' music, sure good music)
To put the fun back in summertime
I need some cruisin' music to make everything alright
17.I Wanna Be With You

And we've been waiting so long to be here
Hold me tight
Our love could live forever after tonight
If you believe that what we're doing is right
Close your eyes and be still
18.Tonight
Lyricist：Eric Carmen
One, two, three, four

19.Overnight Sensation
Lyricist：Eric Carmen
Well I know it sounds funny
But I'm not in it for the money, no
I don't need no reputation
And I'm not in it for the show
I just want a hit record, yeah
Wanna hear it on the radio
Want a big hit record, yeah
One that everybody's got to know
Well if the program director don't pull it
It's time to get back the bullet
So, bring the group down to the station
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
I've been tryin' to write the lyric
Non-offensive but satiric too
And if you put it in the a-slot
It's just got to make a mint for you
I fit those words to a good melody
Amazing how success has been ignoring me
So, long I use my bread making demos all day
Writing in the night while in my head I hear
The record play hear it play
Hit record, yeah
Wanna hit record, yeah
Wanna hit record, yeah
(Number one)
