Toto Best Ballads Lyrics
1.A Secret Love

He never felt that she cared
Turning to leave
Feeling her lonely stare
If only a secret love

Left more than a broken heart
Like a fool thnks he felt the start
Of what he hoped for so long

He waits though he knows she's gone
Alone he climbs
Until he falls

Only a secret love brings more than a broken heart

Like a fool I have played the part
Of what I hoped for so long
The need to belong...
In love


2.I'll Be Over You

Some people live their dreams
Some people close their eyes
Some people's destiny
Passes by

There are no guarantees
There are no alibis
That's how our love must be
Don't ask why

Bridge:
It takes some time
God knows how long
I know that I can forget you

Chorus:
As soon as my heart stops breakin'
Anticipating
As soon as forever is through
I'll be over you

Remembering times gone by
Promises we once made
What are the reasons why
Nothing stays the same

Bridge:
There were the nights holding you close
Someday I'll try to forget them
Someday I'll be over you

Chorus


3.Africa

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards
salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, 'Hurry boy, it's waiting there for
you'

Chorus:
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that
I've become

Chorus

(Instrumental break)

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in
Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in
Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had


4.99

99
I've been waiting so long
Oh 99
Where did we go wrong
Oh 99
I love you

99
I keep breaking your heart
Oh 99
How can we be apart
Oh 99
I love you

Chorus:
I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don't want hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
You know I love you 99

99
You keep holding my hand
Oh 99
They don't know who I am
Oh 99
I love you

99
I can't take it no more
Oh 99
Oh we were so sure
Oh 99
I love you

Chorus


5.Mama

Mama
I don't love you anymore
Money's
Got me crawlin' on the floor

Lover
I'm so ashamed that I must go
Funny
Somehow I thought by now you'd know

Chorus:
Girl you'd better take my hand
And say what you mean to say
(And she said)
'Stay as long as you can
But don't wait till you're thrown away.'

Mama
Please throw me out in the cold
Woman
The love you bought waas never sold

Chorus

Mama
I don't love you anymore
Sorry
I'm not the boy you're looking for

(See the girl with they eyes on fire
Now he know she's the one he desires)


6.Somewhere Tonight

When you meet a special person
And it feels good passing time
You tell yourself it's casual
But they have something else in mind

You try to make some reason
A voice calls out from across the room
She runs away without an answer
She runs away too soon

Chorus:
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying

We all belong to someone
Sometimes they're so far away
You write down words in letters
Not quite sure what they say

You know that she needs you
And you miss her in your heart
But a certain feeling lingers
That keeps us miles apart

Chorus:
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
(You'd better believe)
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying

(Instrumental break)

(Oh Lord)
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
(You'd better believe)
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying


7.Takin' It Back

I think I'll go it alone, you should've shown me if you cared
Lies will turn a heart into stone, few would have known me if
they dared

'Cause I'm takin' it back where it all began
The house on the cape, the place on the sand
I'd take it all back if it'd just make you understand

Girl how I've tried to forget you, now it would take more than I
could buy
Sure I could lie to myself too, but that won't work seeing that
I've tried

'Cause I'm takin' it back where it all began
I'd live in a shack eating out of a can
I'd take it all back if it'd just make you understand

(Instrumental break)

Now that I'm feeling assured, you'd better watch your every move
Stop, think about every word, it's looking like you're going to
lose

'Cause I'm takin' it back where it all began
The house on the cape, the place on the sand
I'd take it all back if it'd just make you understand

You should've shown me if you cared (repeats out)


8.I Won't Hold You Back

If I had another chance tonight
I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right
Time can't erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared

Now you're gone, I'm really not the same
I guess I have myself to blame
Time can't erase the things we said
But it gives me time to realize that you're the one instead

Chorus:
You know I won't hold you back now, the love we had just can't
be found
You know I can't hold you back now

Now that I'm alone it gives me time
to think about the years that you were mine
Time can't erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared

Chorus
(Instrumental break)
You know I won't hold you back now,
the love we had just can't be found
Listen to me baby
You know I can't hold you back now


9.Anna

Anna please turn around, we'll work it out somehow
Anna don't turn me down, there's still a chance if we can hold
out once more

'Cause we started out with love, that was more than enough
And that's a lot to give up

Chorus:
Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love

Anna you gotta stay, it's just a stage we're going through
And Anna this all can change, if we turn the page then we can
start all again

'Cause we almost touched the sky, and it could never again be
this right
Anna please change your mind

Chorus:
Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love
(Instrumental break)

Chorus:
Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love

Chorus:
Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love

And I believe without a doubt, the time will not run out
And I believe without a doubt, the time will not run out on our
love


10.Georgy Porgy

It's not your situation, I just need contemplation over you
I'm not so systematic, it's just that I'm an addict for your
love

Not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have told
you
You're my only girl
I'm not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have
told you
You're my only world

Just think how long I've known you, it's long for me to own you,
lock and key
It's really not confusing, I'm just the young illusion, can't
you see

I'm not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have
told you
You're my only girl
I'm not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have
told you
You're my only world

Georgy Porgy, pudding pie, kissed the girls and made them cry
Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made
them cry

(In strumental break)

It's not your situation, I just need contemplation over you
I'm not so systematic, it's just that I'm an addict for your
love

Not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have told
you
You're my only girl
I'm not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have
told you
You're my only world

Georgy Porgy, pudding pie, kissed the girls and made them cry
Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made
them cry

Georgy Porgy, pudding pie, kissed the girls and made them cry
Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made
them high

Georgy Porgy
Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made
them high
Georgy Porgy
Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made
them cry


11.Lea

Here's to the few. Who fared - my love
Only for you - I cared - my love
I've given it hope, and I know it's only you
Encased in silence

Here's to the you - who saved - my love
Only to you - I gave - my love
I've given it thought, and it's not all that appears

Chorus:
Lea, how long will you still want me to want you
In and around you
Lea, my concertina
Will you still want me to want you

Here's to the you - who dared - my love
Only with you - I shared - my love
I've given it though, and it's not all that appears

Chorus

Bridge:
Who cares - what the cynics say
I care - if only you're on your way
Lea - don't let the same be true
Lea - do you still want me to want you


12.It's A Feeling

It's a feeling, I don't belong here
But a man's on the outside looking in, wondering who's in his
old armchair

It's a feeling, you never belonged to me
First you're on the up 'n up, I only look down and see
Only look down and see

You're fighting me, you knew me, all desires
No lock or key can hide the truth you're keeping from mee

(repeats 2x)

It's a feeling...


13.Rosanna

All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see you eyes
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me,
Rosanna

All I wanna do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know you were looking for more than I could ever be

Chorus:
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna yeah
Now she's gone and I have to say
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah

I can see your face still shining through the window on the
other side
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad,
Rosanna

All I wanna tell you is now you'll never ever have to compromise
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad

Chorus

(Instrumental break)

Chorus

Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah


14.Angela

Can't eat, can't sleep, can't seem to find time anymore
Somewhere she weeps, her hair gently brushes the floor
I know my way, I know that I'll find her somehow

Chorus:
Angela carries me back to the time
When I knew that her love was still mine
Angela's holding the child in her womb
And I pray that she will be calling soon

Cold moon, dark sky, I'm watching my mind disappear
She sits alone, not knowing that I am so near
Why can't she hear my voice as I call out her name

Chorus

It's a silly situation, it's just infatuation, no need to be
sorry

Can't eat, can't sleep, can't seem to find time anymore
Somewhere she weeps, her hair gently brushes the floor
I know my way, I know that I'll find her somehow

Chorus

It's a silly situation, it's just infatuation, no need to be
sorry


15.Only You

Waiting for you again, seems like this never ends
I close my eyes and I see your face, and I see it all fading
away

Woke up before you again, you're still asleep I can't pretend
I feel like I'm losing you, and I am trying to make everything
right

Chorus:
Only you, only me, say the words I want to hear for all eternity
Only you, holding my heart in your hands
Only me, still trying to understand, whoa no oh oh

If I could have a second chance, maybe change the circumstance
Imagine if the dream came true, we could start it all over
tonight

Chorus repeats 2x

Only me, say the words I want to hear for all eternity
Only you, holding my heart in your hands
Only me, still trying to understand, whoa no oh oh


16.Out Of Love

Paint me a picture of two lovers, show me the lovers torn apart

You made me fall in love with you, the dance of lovers takes two
Somehow the music stopped, and so did our love

I tried to put the pieces together, and I got a grip on my life
They say there's one born every minute who has all for a
lifetime
What good is a lifetime if I can't be with you

Chorus:
I just wanna hold you, just wanna touch you, just let me love
you
When I see your face, my heart cries out for you
I guess that fools never learn how to fall out of love

I do admit I really miss you, there are some things time cannot
change
And I would be a liar baby, if I told you I didn't care
'Cos it makes a difference, baby when you're not there

Chorus

I just wanna hold you, just wanna touch you, just let me love
you
When I see your face, my heart, my heart goes crazy baby
It's what's calling your name

I just wanna hold you, just wanna touch you, I just wanna hold
you
When I see your face, my heart cries out for you
I guess that fools never learn how to fall out of love


17.2 Hearts

You said you would wait for me, but something went wrong
The house was empty, your pictures gone
I knew you'd come back one day, our love was so strong
The past behind us, it's here you belong

'Cause I'm deep inside you, you're deep inside me
I always knew that we would always be

Chorus:
Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I need to know your love is
mine
Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I won't let go of you this
time

You could've talked to me, what changed your mind
I could have been there by your side
You thought you could walk away, but you know that's a lie
This loneliness is hard to hide

It's so easy to surrender, and temptation always finds a way
You must hold on, you know we must hold on, whoa-oh-oh

Chorus

(Instrumental break)

Chorus

Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I won't let go of you this
time
Take this heart of mine, whoa-oh-oh
