Laughing Down Crying (2011)

 

Laughing Down Crying lyrics - Daryl Hall

So many times I've wondered
About the way to go
Should I believe in my past life
Or should I stay solo
Watching the world roll around me
You make it rise and fall
Never known anyone like you
No one at all

I need some time
Time to unwind
Solitary mind,
You got me laughing down crying
I need to know
Which face to show
Can’t you see my life’s out of line?
You got me laughing down crying
(Laughing down crying)
You got me laughing down
(Laughing down crying)
You got me laughing down crying
(Laughing down crying)
You got me laughing down

You're one of a kind
The way that I find you laugh
I'm sure you know
Should I be trying to match you
But I'm unique on my own
Watching it all swirl around me
It gives me vertigo
No one else will understand you
No one at all

I need some time
Time to unwind
Solitary mind,
You got me laughing down crying
I need to know
Which face to show
Can’t you see my life’s out of line?
You got me laughing down crying
(Laughing down crying)
You got me laughing down
(Laughing down crying)
You got me laughing down crying
(Laughing down crying)
You got me laughing down

You take me higher
Then lower down
You take me higher
You got me laughing down

I want to know
Which face to show
Can’t you see my life’s out of line?
You got me laughing down crying
You got me laughing down
You got me laughing down crying
Laughing down
You got me laughing down crying
Laughing down
You got me laughing down crying
Laughing down

Talking To You (Is Like Talking To Myself) lyrics - Daryl Hall

I try, try to make it right
But every day it’s like it was a first night
Sweet dreams
Your dreaming doesn’t matter
When you’re wide awake
All the patterns scatter
If you run away and don’t listen to me
You’re only hurting on your own
You see

Talking to you is like talking to myself
(Talking to you is like talking to myself)
Talking to you is like talking to myself
(Talking to you is like talking to myself)
You’re sleeping in while there’s a riot rollin’ down
(Talking to you is like talking to myself)
Can’t you understand we got a good thing goin’ on
Good thing goin’

I’m saying there’s too much noise around
You live behind a wall of unrelated sound
Are you hearing me? Cause I couldn’t tell
Is it “Ooo yeah” or is it just “Oh well”

Talking to you is like talking to myself
(Talking to you is like talking to myself)
Talking to you is like talking to myself
(Talking to you is like talking to myself)
You’re sleeping in while there’s a riot rollin’ down
(Talking to you is like talking to myself)
Can’t you understand we got a good thing goin’ on
Good thing goin’ on

Shine on prove to me
Something real someone can see
Is it sand or gold dust in my hand?

Talking to you is like talking to myself
(Talking to you is like talking to myself)
Talking to you is like talking to myself
(Talking to you is like talking to myself)
You’re sleeping in while there’s a riot rollin’ down
(Talking to you is like talking to myself)
Can’t you understand we got a good thing goin’ on

Can’t you hear me? Can’t you hear me?
Talking to you is like talking to myself

Lifetime Of Love lyrics - Daryl Hall

Wait just a minute
Slow down I need for you to talk a while with me
Sometimes I’m gone so long
So frequently
I know we lead a life of problems
And things don’t always work the way you want ‘em to
But hear one thought from me
I can promise you

We’re gonna have a lifetime
A lifetime of love
We don’t need it part time
It’s all the time
For a lifetime (lifetime of love)

We fight our battles
But then again we always find the funny side
I can’t stay mad at you
Why would I try?
I swear there ain’t nobody like you
I think they broke the mold
When you were made for me
Looks like I’m there for you
Eternally

We’re gonna have a lifetime
A lifetime of love
(I’m gonna make you feel right)
We don’t need it part time
It’s all the time
For a lifetime

We’re gonna have a lifetime
A lifetime of love
We don’t need it part time
It’s all the time
For a lifetime

You always lie at the heart of my desire
Heart of my, heart of my...

I need it
You need it
He need it
She need it
We need it
They need it
Y’all need it
We don’t need it part time
It’s all the time
For a lifetime

We’re gonna have a lifetime
A lifetime of love
We don’t need it part time
It’s all the time
For a lifetime

Eyes For You (Ain't No Doubt About It) lyrics - Daryl Hall

Cause I only...

Starting to feel like
A happy ending
Tough but undemanding
Understanding
Looking to see why
It gets me so intensely
Matters immensely
That you can feel me

Cause I only
Only, only have eyes
Only have eyes for you
Girl I only
Only have eyes for you

Ain’t no doubt about
Ain’t no doubt about it
[x4]

I didn’t realize
Midnight revelation
Livin’ in my world
Got to be more patient
Saw some love light
Lit someone like you
Slowly I knew
How good it was to see through

Cause I only
Only have eyes
Only have eyes for you
Girl I only
Only have eyes for you

Ain’t no doubt about
Ain’t no doubt about it
[x4]

I want what you want
I know what you know
I live what you live
(Livin’ in our world)
I realize
I found what I lost
(I almost lost it man)
I paid what it cost
(Almost cost me everything)
Can you read all those thoughts
It's in my eyes

Cause I only
Girl I only
Only have eyes for you
Girl I only
Only have eyes for you

Ain’t no doubt about
Ain’t no doubt about it
[repeated]

Save Me lyrics - Daryl Hall

Oh baby can you save me
Save me from the road
I’m rollin’ down
Oh baby can you save me
Cause there ain’t much time
For me to be wrong

There’s a fire in my heart
That’ll never give up
There’s a hole in my soul
That’ll never fill up
There’s the right thing to do
But I want to do wrong
I’ll do anything for you
If you make me feel strong
Come on now

Oh baby can you save me
Save me from the road
I’m rollin’ down
Oh baby can you save me
Cause there ain’t much time
For me to be wrong

You know I’m down but not out
I should be fighting for my pride
Can you stay in my corner
And make it feel right
Help me win this fight

Oh baby can you save me
Save me from the road
I’m rollin’ down
Oh baby can you save me
Cause there ain’t much time
For me to be wrong
[x2]

Oh you got to get this fire started
There ain’t no need for me to be downhearted
No way, no way, no way...

Oh baby can you save me

Oh baby can you save me
Cause there ain’t much time
Ain’t much time

Oh baby can you save me
Save me from the road
I’m rollin’ down
Oh baby can you save me
Cause there ain’t much time
For me to be wrong
[x2]

Oh baby can you save me
Ain’t much time
Ain’t much time

Message To Ya lyrics - Daryl Hall

It seems I got left at the station
I didn’t have change for the train
You caught the express and left me there
Boots getting wet in the rain
I need to explain how I feel for you
Cause I didn’t tell you in time
There must be a way for me to have my say
Shout out my love down the line

Can I get a message to ya
Got to send a message to ya
Got to get a message to ya
Hope you can hear it
Hope that you hear it
Hope you can hear it
Right now
Hope you can hear it [x3]
Right now

I’ve treated you disgracefully
I’ll fix all the mess I’ve made
I’ll try reassuring your worried mind
If you’ll just let me explain

Can I get a message to ya
Got to send a message to ya
Got to get a message to ya
Hope you can hear it
Hope you can hear it
Hope you can hear it
Right now
Hope you can hear it [x3]
Right now

Hope that you hear it
Hope you can hear it
Right now
[x2]

Don’t wanna break it
Break it
Break the chain
[repeat with ad-libs]

Can I get a message to ya
Send a message to ya
Got to get a message to ya
Hope that you hear it
Hope that you hear it
Right now
Hope that you hear it
Hope that you hear it
Right now

Wrong Side Of History (So Cold) lyrics - Daryl Hall

You think that nothing matters
You think I’m tough enough
To see the hurt for what it’s worth
And shake it off myself
Can’t see your point or reason
The drama you do is only tragic for me

So cold, baby so cold
Think nobody knows but somebody cares
You can tear me down
And it’s a blow to my pride
It’s so cold, so cold
You’re on the wrong side of history [x3]

I’m trying hard to shape it
Something from nothing else
I’m up at night to make us right
Got no one but myself
I’m just the voice of reason
What’s plain enough to you
Is a mystery to me

So cold, baby so cold
Think nobody knows but somebody cares
You tear me down
And it’s a blow to my pride
It’s so cold, so cold
Don’t you know
You’re on the wrong side of history [x3]

Not seeing the heart of things
Ain’t stoppin’ what you do
You think you understand everything
But don’t get my point of view
The time has come, your time is gone
And I just carry on

So cold, baby so cold
Think nobody knows but somebody cares
You tear me down
And it’s a blow to my pride
It’s so cold, so cold
So cold, baby so cold
Think nobody knows but somebody cares
You tear me down
And it’s a blow to my pride
It’s so cold, so cold
You gotta know
You’re on the wrong side of history [repeated]
You’re on the wrong side

Get Out Of The Way lyrics - Daryl Hall

Look at the water
There’s a storm that is raging
Like some biblical tide
That will sweep us away
All the good times gone so wrong
Tender years are flying

Run from the fire
That some idiot started
Cause he believed that the burning
Would be good for the temple
All the good men gone so wrong
Can’t you hear them lying?
What do you do
When history stops in its tracks

There’s a meaning
But I don’t know what it is
There’s a leaning
But I don’t know which way it’s falling
All I can do is try
To get out of the way

Grasp at emotions
That I stretch to the limits
Cause I shout out denial
In the face of disaster
All the good times gone so wrong
Tender years are dying
What do you do
When history stops in its tracks

There’s a meaning
But I don’t know what it is
There’s a leaning
But I don’t know which way it’s falling
All I can do is try
To get out of the way

So uneasy
But I got no way of knowing
Hurricane coming
But I don’t know which way it’s blowing
So get out of the way

All I can do is try
Wait for the tide to rise
But change of the seasons
Don’t mean reason’s winning out
What do you do
When history stops in its tracks

There’s a meaning
But I don’t know what it is
There’s a leaning
But I don’t know which way it’s falling
All I can do is try
Try to get out of the way
All I can do is try
To get out of the way

Crash & Burn lyrics - Daryl Hall

You and I go back
Baby we’ve got our own meaning
More than that
So why are we kissin’ this goodbye?
Ending with a leaving plane
That’s screaming through the sky
That fire we set was never meant
Meant to shine so bright
All I know is
I can’t stand the light

Maybe it’s just my turn
To crash and burn
Fall from the sky
But I gotta keep on flying
Don’t know why
Maybe it’s just my turn
To crash and burn
Fall to the floor
But I gotta keep on trying
It’s all I know

Baby I know
It’s gotta be hard
Living here with me
Gotta find some understanding
Need a little understanding

Maybe it’s just my turn
To crash and burn
Fall from the sky
But I gotta keep on flying
Don’t know why
Maybe it’s just my turn
To crash and burn
Fall to the floor
But I gotta keep on trying
It’s all I know

I could win
If I could walk away
Just say, “Our day’s gone by”
But a loser just keeps holding on
So why do I?

Maybe it’s just my turn
To crash and burn
Maybe it’s just my turn
To crash and burn
Crash and burn
It’s just my turn
Fall from the sky
Baby I know
It’s gotta be hard
Fall from the sky

Problem With You (Bone's Last Ride) lyrics - Daryl Hall

I’ve got a problem with you
I’ve got a problem with your mind
I’ve got a problem with the way you treat me
So unkind
I worry every time I punch your number
Am I on top or am I going under
Oh what can I do
I got a problem babe
I got a problem babe

I’ve got a problem with you
And you know that I been tryin’
I give you 110%
And 10% of that’s cryin’
Your mood is changing just like a mountain sky
And we’re no better at the sea line
Oh what can I do
I got a problem babe
I got a problem babe

Here we go

Would I be wrong
If I just walked on
Would it make me feel right
Or feel alone and low down

I know I’ve got a problem with you
But you don’t hear what I’m saying
So I guess it’s time to think it over
Why should I stay?
A part of me believes that it’s so right
The other side is seeing stormy nights
Oh what can I do
Oh what can I do
Oh what can I do
I got a problem babe

Something I can’t fix girl
I don’t understand
I got a problem babe

I can’t take the heat
But your force is so sweet
Oh, problem babe
I got a problem babe

Can't Stop Dreaming lyrics - Daryl Hall

He's the star of the stage, and he screams all night
'Cause he can't get to sleep at all
And his favorite book, by the T.V. light, can't stop the matinee,
He's played it over and over
He Can't Stop The Music, or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
All those hard-earned words, that he's fought from his pen
Have been forgotten in some empty hall
And the wide-eyed looks, on those wiped-out faces
Make some dreams in such places over and over
He Can't Stop The Music, or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
Wouldn't believe your ears, if he told you what the papers use to say
But that was in his hey-day
Back in his prime he had the fans in line
You should have seen him then, now look at him
His hair is getting thin
There's one last show before the glory ends
There in the wings, waits his only friend,
The record that he prayed to over and over
He Can't Stop The Music, or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
Then we go like this, and we go like that (music)
Then we go like this, and we go like that,
Can't Stop The Music
Then we go like this, and we go like that (music)
Then we go like this and we go like that.

Let Me Be The One lyrics - Daryl Hall

We've been through love time and time again
Tried for true love with enemies and friends
Looked at romance every way
Now my heart can't take that anymore anyway
Oh anymore

Let me be the one
One with you
Let me be the one
To make your dreams come true
All I wanna do
Is be with you one day
Let me be the one
One heart, one way

You've been let down
You’ve been left alone
And remember when I took you home
We looked at our lives every way
Now our souls can't take that anymore
Oh no, oh no way

Let me be the one
One with you
With you
Let me be the one
To make your dreams come true
To make your dreams come true
All I wanna do
Is be with you one day
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
One heart, one heart

Whoa I, I wanna know how you feel
Let your whole heart get in the way
If you don't know, think of something tender to say
As long as it’s me, then it's alright

Let me be the one
One with you
With you
Let me be the one
To make your dreams come true
To make your dreams come true
All I wanna do
Is be with you one day
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
One heart, one way

Something About You lyrics - Daryl Hall

Yeah you've been so close, oh baby
in my world always gone with someeone
Seeing you on your own
lt's like some light, so bright is turning on
See you standing there oh baby
Feel a change in the air
Everywhere
Why didn't I know
That you're the one that I've been waiting for

Yeah, there's something about you
That I never knew
Why didn't I see your smile before
Yeah, there's something about you
That's Ieaving me breathless
Leading me on

You can see, I can tell oh baby
You've got some power over me
Use it well
Don't know why I'm so sure
That you're the love that I've been longing for

Yeah, there's something about you
That I never knew
Why didn't I see your smile before
Yeah, there's something about you
That's leaving me breathless
Turning me on

Only matters what I feel right now
No matter what I've felt before
I'm turning to you right now
I'm breathless baby, that's all I need to know

Yeah, there's something about you
Something about you

Cab Driver lyrics - Daryl Hall

Standing in the rain
Cab comes into view
Ask me, "Where am I goin’ to?"
Running for so long
Been gone too many nights
And my heart has paid the price
This ain't heaven
This ain’t the life bargained for
My reason for living
Isn’t here inside this car
Girl, I gotta get back to you

Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away
Too much time alone
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away from my baby

I need familiar streets
To show that you're near
Feeling like a stranger here
Oh does the mirror show the miles on my face
Am I goin' any place?

This ain't heaven
This ain’t the life I was hopin’ for
My reason for living
Sure ain’t here inside this car
You know I've gotta get back to you

Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away
Too much time alone
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away from my baby

I need to see the look on your face
A kiss from your lips...oh the taste, baby
Nothing waiting for me but a lonely room
I’ve gotta get back to you baby - soon

Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away
Too much time alone
Cab driver
Take me home
Spent too much time away from my baby

Never Let Me Go lyrics - Daryl Hall

Heaven has sent you from above, baby
Love that I needed for so long baby
Never before did I feel this heart break
Thrill to you baby
Tho' I'm far away
Oh tell me why was my life
Never sweet as soul when soul cries
Can you open my eyes and let me know where love lies

[Chorus:]
Try to be close to me
Never let me go, girl
TLC finally
Don’t ever let me go
Let me hear you say so
I was a witness to disharmony
Somebody taking away another part of me
Tell me why was my life
Never sweet as soul when soul cries
Can you open my eyes
And let me know where love lies
Try to be close to me
Never let me go, girl
TLC finally
Don’t ever let me go
Let me hear you say so
Play it out, never doubt
Never let me go
lt's all about reaching out
Never let me go

Holding Out For Love lyrics - Daryl Hall

Why does that restless part of me always see
Did I know love wouId show
And I’d find the passion I need
Look up ahead
All I see are worlds apart
Broken hearts
Looking for something more
Some magic they might feel

That's why l hold on
I'm holding out for love
There's only one I’m dreaming of
That's why l hold on
I'm hoIding out for love
Will that one heart wait for me

You know we take those twists and turns
Never learn
Goin' on
Takes so long to find all the passion we need
Look what we have
Don’t wanna be two worlds apart
Loving hearts stay live
Strong survive
Just matters what we both feel

That's why l hold on
I'm holding out for love
There's only one I’m dreaming of
That's why l hold on
I'm hoIding out for love
Will that one heart wait for me

I watch the time go by
I swear now baby
I have never been so sure in my heart
So close to my dreams

That's why l hold on
I'm holding out for love
There's only one I’m dreaming of
That's why l hold on
I'm hoIding out for love
Will that one heart wait for me

Justify lyrics - Daryl Hall

Baby’s gone
Said she’s movin’ on
Telling me
I ain’t comin’ along
I thought you said you were satisfied
You've given up on everything we tried for, why?

How can you justify sacrificing our love
Justify
Sacrificing our love

Smoking gun
HoId it in your hand
You can't deny
I'm the victim of your plan
Innocence with a guilty side
I don't understand
Tell me why oh why

How can you justify sacrificing our love
Justify
Sacrificing our love

Lonely hearts finally find a home
Then they part
Like everybody does
Guess the love meant more to me
Go your way
But I can't see...why

How can you justify sacrificing our love
Justify
Sacrificing our love

What's In Your World lyrics - Daryl Hall

Tell me what world you're living in
I'm trying so hard to understand
Searching my soul just so find any line
That connects me to whatever you are hiding
Remember how we used to be
We shared the best baby, the best of everything
Now it seems like we're slowly drifting apart
Tell me when did we stop communicating
Heart to heart

What's in you world
What'cha trying to hide from me
I can't fight what I can't see
I need so know what's going on
What's in your world
I'm standing here with a broken heart
Trying to stop before l start
Falling all over again
Baby I need to know
Need for you to show
What's in your world

Girl, l'm not ready to walk away from you
Unless you say that it's over and done, I know
I'II do what I gotta do
lt's time to remind you that love's on the line
So baby say what you gotta say
But if you're gonna walk away (tell me)

What's in you world
What'cha trying to hide from me
I can't fight what I can't see
I need so know what's going on
What's in your world
I'm standing here with a broken heart
Trying to stop before l start
Falling all over again
Baby I need to know
Need for you to show
What's in your world

What's in you world
What'cha trying to hide from me
I can't fight what I can't see
I need so know what's going on
What's in your world
I'm standing here with a broken heart
Trying to stop before l start
Falling all over again
Baby I need to know
Need for you to show
What's in your world

What's in you world
What'cha trying to hide from me
I can't fight what I can't see
I need so know what's going on
What's in your world
I'm standing here with a broken heart
Trying to stop before l start
Falling all over again
Baby I need to know
Need for you to show
What's in your world

Hold On To Me lyrics - Daryl Hall

I wanna know what you dream, oh baby
Am I one with your fantasy
I wanna show you my deepest feelings
Ain’t that how love’s supposed to be

Give me love
Hold on to me
Give me hope
Hold on to me
Give me dreams
Hold on
Oh baby, give it up
Give me heart
Hold on to me
Give me soul
Hold on to me
Give me your smile
Hold on
Oh baby, give it all

I had enough of bad luck, oh baby,
All those nights that I can’t replace
But none of the love in my past can claim me
Others go but you don’t fade away

Give me love Hold on to me
Give me hope Hold on to me
Give me dreams Hold on
Oh baby, give it up
Give me heart
Hold on to me
Give me soul
Hold on to me
Give me your life
Hold on
Oh baby, give it all

I know in my heart it’s real
Know this is love I feel
If something ain’t right just say so baby
Don’t let go...don’t stay away...stay with me

She's Gone lyrics - Daryl Hall

Everybody's high on consolation
Everybody's trying to tell me what is right for me, yeah
My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon
But it's plain to see that they can't comfort me

Sorry, Charlie, for the imposition
I think I got (it got it), I got the strength to carry on, yeah
I need a drink and a quick decision
Now it's up to me, ooh, what will be

She's gone, she's gone
Oh I, oh I
I better learn how to face it
She's gone, she's gone
Oh I, oh I
I'd pay the devil to replace her
She's gone, and she's gone
Oh why, what went wrong?

Get up in the morning, look in the mirror
I'm worn as a toothbrush hanging in the stand, yeah
My face ain't looking any younger
Now I can see love's taken a toll on me

She's gone, she's gone
Oh I, oh I
I better learn how to face it
She's gone, and she's gone
Oh I, oh I
I'd pay the devil to replace her
She's gone, she's gone
Oh why, what went wrong?

Think I'll spend eternity in the city
Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away, yeah
And pretty bodies help dissolve the memories
They can never be what she was (was) to me

She's gone, she's gone
Oh I, oh I
I better learn how to face it
She's gone, she's gone
Oh I, oh I
I'd pay the devil to replace her
She's gone, and she's gone
Oh I, what went wrong?

She's gone
Oh I, I better learn how to face that
She's gone, she's gone
I can't believe that she's gone
Oh I, I'd pay the devil to replace her
She's gone
Oh I, I I better learn how to face that
She's gone, she's gone
I can't believe that she's gone
Oh I, I pay the devil to replace her
She's gone, she's gone
She's gone, she's gone
She's gone, she's gone
She's gone, she's gone
She's gone, she's gone
She's gone, she's gone
She's gone, she's gone
She's gone, she's gone

All By Myself lyrics - Daryl Hall

I can see the anger
and I surely feel
All the passion, baby gone astray
Why are we divided
so dissatisfied

Does it matter what we do or say
I can't see the wisdom
Never gonna give in
When the love is not so far away
I was hoping for more
I'm still hoping for sure

Isn't anybody dreamin'
Isn't anybody thinking
Or am I all by myself
Isn't anybody teachin'
Why is everybody preachin'
Am I all by myself

Don't you feel it lately
That you're the only one
Who can see through bitter lies right here
Like everybody knows it
But no one seems to care
As if there's something in the truth we fear

Aren't you hoping for more
I'm still hoping for sure
Isn't anybody dreamin'
Isn't anybody thinking
And all by myself
Isn't anybody lovin'
Isn't anybody huggin'

Am I all by myself, tell me, tell me
Am I all by myself
All by myself
Come on everybody teach it with me
Am I all by myself
Don't wanna be all by myself
Come on everybody preach it with me

Fools Rush In lyrics - Daryl Hall

Just why do I want you baby
Anyone but a fool would let it be
Go on anywhere you take me
I don't want to know what's pulling me
If I fall so deep
With my eyes so wide
Then I hope that feeling isn’t only mine

Fools rush in
Where the wise don’t go
Fools rush in
And I’m a fool for love
Fools rush in
But the wise don’t know
Fools rush in

Safe advice
I can't let it stop me
Love don’t wanna know the reason why
If we fall so deep
With our eyes so wide
Then I know the feeling isn't
only mine

Fools rush in
Where the wise don’t go
Fools rush in
And I’m a fool for love
Fools rush in
But the wise don’t know
Fools rush in

Power Of Seduction lyrics - Daryl Hall

My friends don't understand it
They don't know what you've
got to me
My life is too complicated
And I need, sure need
some simplicity
Ooh the love is ever growing
And there has to be a reason why it
works for me
You know - baby how to move me
What you give to me is elemental
can't you see
That you take the pain from me
Only you know my fantasies
You make me realize
Girl you know the way of keeping
love alive

It's the power of seduction
It's the only way to keep me
hanging on baby
It's the power of seduction
It's the only hope, so baby do
what you want

Just words can't describe it
'Cause there's more to love than
what to say
Hey lately I've been thinking
And that's bad you know I might
blow it 'cos of reason
Baby you can never do too much
Only you, you make the senses
all rush
With you - girl I've got to be
All because you keep alive
the mystery

It's the power of seduction
It's the only way to keep me
hanging on baby
It's the power of seduction
It's the only hope, so baby do
what you want

You made the change in me
Only you know my fantasies
With you I will always be
Living with the passion
and the mystery

This Time lyrics - Daryl Hall

Maybe I'm on Rocky Mountain time
But I don't know what's up with you
We could fake it out, say hey
never mind
But someday livin' loose will
get to you
And you say baby please, I'm
cryin tears
Will I hear it deep inside of me
Maybe you'll decide you're
outta here
Anything can happen, anything
can be

This time
You can't walk away
Gotta have you say
Make it clear
This time
Gonna face your fears
Share your tears
For love my dear

Sad attacks
Roll'em off my back
I don't know babe how to be so blue
I can lose my mind
I can do hard time
But it scares me if I'm outta sync
with you
I'm going to extremes
To show a gentle man
You know I'm not as hard
as you believe
Try for you, and cry for you
Never call me heartless, when I try
the hardest

This time
You can't walk away
Gotta have you say
Make it clear
This time
Gonna face your fears
Share your tears
For love my dear
This time
I won't turn away
>From the love that's here
The love I needed
This time
I won't let you down
I won't play around
I swear my dear

Ain't no doubt
People live in fear
Turn away, no see no hear
Sayin' I don't know
What happened officer
I wanna be the perfect witness
Baby do we care to see it?
Show some heart
Maybe come a time
When love will come apart
We're living here
I will make it clear
Silence is a lie
To tell the truth I'm tryin'

Love Revelation lyrics - Daryl Hall

I've been quiet, never spoke before
about this
Takes a little time to say what
I'm thinking
Let's run down the concept of love
as we know it
I'm only happy when I'm flying
Then you catch me when I'm falling

Freedom what you want
Freedom what I miss
I think about you
I realize
Love revelation
Freedom what you want
Freedom what I choose
What about you?
I realize
Love revelation

Hey, let's sit down and talk it over
'Cos I don't want a ride from
paradise to pain
Ain't no way I could love you more
Still need that open door
It's so good when I'm flying
Will you catch me when I'm falling?

Freedom what you want
Freedom what I miss
I think about you
I realize
Love revelation
Freedom what you want
Freedom what I choose
What about you?
I realize
Love revelation
Freedom what you want
Freedom what I miss
I think about you
I realize
Love revelation
Freedom what you want
Freedom what I'd do
What about you?
I realize
Love revelation

My life - shouldn't be hard to live
You know what my weakness is
Make me a little bit stronger
'Cos I can't do it without you
Though I'm Happy when I'm flying
Baby, catch me when I'm falling

I'm In A Philly Mood lyrics - Daryl Hall

Oh, let's make it groove
Taking it nice and smooth

Turn out the light
I can see your face
It's you and I
In the time and the place

The radio's playing Teddy's groove
The city nights
Nothing love couldn't do

Oh, baby, it's been too long
I need to feel the same thing
Oh, that made that time our own

Oh, let's make it groove
Taking it nice and smooth
I'm in a Philly mood
Oh, baby come down
I wanna hold you now
I'm in a Philly mood

Lay down your love
I can feel your soul
(Reach me)
When night is gone
Let our hearts carry on

As sure as you are
Of the love we've made
I know sometimes
We've been so out of place

But, oh, lately
Girl it seems that we've come home
To that place that made the time our own

Oh, let's make it groove
Taking it nice and smooth
I'm in a Philly mood

Oh, baby come down
I wanna hold you now
I'm in a Philly mood

Oh, let's make it groove
Taking it twice as smooth
I'm in a Philly mood

Oh, baby come on
I wanna hold you now
I'm in a Philly mood

But, oh, lately
Girl it seems that we've come home
To that place, that place, that place
That made the time our own

Oh, let's make it groove
Taking it nice and smooth
I'm in a Philly mood

Oh, baby come down
I wanna hold you now
I'm in a Philly mood

Oh, let's make it groove
Taking it twice as smooth
I'm in a Philly mood

Oh, baby come on
I wanna hold you now
I'm in a Philly mood

Borderline lyrics - Daryl Hall

Just look at you and me
Yea we've had some fun,
don't you agree?
Now that we have come this far
Time to stop the game and
make a start
I want you to take this seriously
But all you do is show inhumanity
You hurt me oh, but I can't
hurt you back
Baby don't you know I've got more
heart than that
I can't hide the way I feel
Help me please, baby please help me

We've reached the borderline
Nowhere to go but down
If we can't turn our world around
We've reached the borderline
Maybe it's not too late
Only we can choose our fate

I tried but I can't loose the crazy pain
I wish that it would go so I can live again
You may or may not know That I'm
beside myself
Oh you know there's only you and
no one else
I can't hide, it's sad you see
Something that could feel so good
may never be

We've reached the borderline
Nowhere to go but down
If we can't turn our world around
We've reached the borderline
Got everything to gain
If only we can stop the pain
The sky is falling
Falling again
Keep on reaching
Keep believing

Stop Loving Me, Stop Loving You lyrics - Daryl Hall

When did you stop loving me
When did I stop loving you, oh, oh

When did you stop loving me,
When did I stop loving you, oh, oh

When did the blue skies start to
gather clouds
When did understanding (understanding) start
closing down
One day it seemed right, then
tomorrow it was gone (It was gone)
Oh yeah the lovelight (lovelight) burned down
too far, burned too far

When did you stop loving me
When did I stop loving you, oh, oh
When did you stop missing me
When I was far away from you, oh, oh...

Why do the gray skies still keep
coming on
Any way the wind blows it (the wind blows)
feels a little colder now
Was it in this life we had the
perfect day (perfect day)
Lately all the laughter (all the laughter) seems so
far away, so far away

When did you stop loving me,
When did I stop loving you, oh, oh

Blue skies are hiding now
Leaving my life lost in doubt
There are seasons, high and low
Does it matter - there you go

Blue skies are hiding now
Leaving my life lost in doubt
Yeah, I loved you but now you're gone
Does it matter, baby, I've got to know

(When did you stop)
Loving me
(When did I stop)
Loving you
(When did you stop)
Loving me
(When did I stop)
Loving you
(When did you stop)
Loving me, ooh baby
(When did I stop)

Help Me Find A Way To Your Heart lyrics - Daryl Hall

Another day and I'm spending
Time alone
I called you place and there was
No one home
I've been laying low but i'm
Thinking of you
Out there by yourself trying to find
Something new
Girl I thought what we had was so
Good that I'd never hear you say no
And for all that is worth, I can't
Think about ever letting go
But I'm lost for the words that i
Need to get over the way I feel
I can't do it by myself
Girl I really need you her

Help me find a way to our heart
Help me find my way, I can't see
In the dark
Tell me if I've drifted too far
Am I warm? am I cold?
Tell me now, let me know
Baby where we are

I've asked myself a thousand times
Or more
Girl, if we don't communicate then
What is loving for?
'cos I thought what we had was
So good that I'd never hear you
Say why
I can't do it by myself
Girl we've really got to try

Help me find a way to our heart
Help me find my way, I can't see
In the dark
Tell me if I've drifted too far
Am I warm? am I cold?
Tell me now, let me know
Baby where we are

Too much time too much confusion
Love won't let me be
Take a little time and show you care
For me
Baby tell me what to say
'cos I can't live my life this way
Show me where your feelings start
Show me sweet baby the way
To your heart

Send Me lyrics - Daryl Hall

Cafe cats are waiting
Loves anticipating
Coffee steaming on a rainy day
Couldn't stay at home
All those souls alone
Dropping by and looking for
another taste
See you smiling from across the bar
Take a little wine - have a good time
Let's see
Are you waiting for the night
to start
Baby I'll come around if you're
here for me
You're so lovely
So lovely
Let me know if you want me
Baby come on

Send me the night
Send me what's right
Send me your guiding light
Send me the love
Send me your groove
Send me your velvet mood
Send me smooth
Send me your love

Maybe love's in bloom
Like an old sly tune
We can spin the words
around the moon
Mind and body met
Heaven starts to sweat
Ecstasy forgets about staying cool
Not just one more night out
on the town
Breaking down
All that's gone before
Feeling things I thought were
long passe
Coming around again
Coming on today
Baby nothing ventured
nothing learned
There's no way to fake it
Baby can we take it

Send me the night
Send me what's right
Send me your guiding light
Send me the love
Send me your groove
Send me your velvet mood
Send me smooth
Send me your love
Send me your kiss
Send me another wish
Send me this
Send me your love
Send me your smile
Send me just an ounce of style
Send me baby send
Send me your love

Maybe this is how we're
meant to stay
I won't stop until you
I won't drop until you
Make me make me
Baby baby baby baby
Send me

Wildfire lyrics - Daryl Hall

How many hearts can
have everything
Never ever found the one and all
the fire it brings
I wanna try more now than I
dared before
I've got to know what passion is
Girl I've got to find the love
Day to day nothing there
I had to let go
Heard a call That I resisted 'cos it
had no soul
When you get and never give it
It's so cold
You're something else, oh I know

I've got this wildfire that only grows
Every day it's in my soul
This wildfire, it's burnin' deep
It's burnin' deep - burnin' burnin'
Wildfire
It didn't take long
All my life is not too long
This wildfire is burning bright
Burnin' bright, burnin', burnin'

All around me
There's a fire that's catching on
Make a burning field of dreams
Little spark of light touched
and grew
Fed by all the love
That I'm feeling here with you
No one can believe it, but
They can see
That since we've been together
you've made a change in me
Being alone is so wrong, it's so cold
When something's right, ooh I know

I've got this wildfire that only grows
Every day it's in my soul
This wildfire, it's burnin' deep
It's burnin' deep - burnin' burnin'
Wildfire
It didn't take long
All my life is not too long
This wildfire is burning bright
Burnin' bright, burnin', burnin'

We gotta live to give - live and
let love
Be here in the moment with the
one I want
'Cos being alone is so wrong
it's so cold
When something's right, I know

Money Changes Everything lyrics - Daryl Hall

Ever growing
The dreams that we accumulated
Never knowing
The demons that we created
Villans stole the spotlight
While love was waiting in the wings
Left us with a long night
And a hunger for material things
But when it's gone, gone baby
And we're livin' with ourselves again
Will it dawn on us darling
That the love we had is worth more
than we spend

Money changes everything
I'll turn your world around so fast
Money changes everything
Money
Money changes everything
No one questions how long
it will last
Money changes everything
Money

Sorry baby
I was a stranger to myself
sometimes
No excuses
The best intentions come
tumblin' down
When it's gone, baby
Will it be the way it was before?
When it's gone, gone darlin'
Will we realize what the money
was for?

Money changes everything
I'll turn your world around so fast
Money changes everything
Money
Money changes everything
No one questions how long
it will last
Money changes everything
Money

Love
Does it feel like it did?
Money changes everything

Written In Stone lyrics - Daryl Hall

When we kiss that way
I search for words that
might explain
How can a love go so deep
Girl, it's in my blood
It'll always be a part of me
If we stay together
Or if we go our separate ways
I know... love will last forever

The sun may someday lose its light
The moon may not shine one night
Your heart will always have a home
It is written in stone - written
in stone

Seasons go by and minds
have changed
But I will never doubt why I
feel this way
It goes on so strong
Like a solid rock
Even when the moment's gone
Nothing lasts forever
But one thing's sure to stay
the same
Our love... the love is getting better

The sun may someday lose its light
The moon may not shine one night
I know just how the story goes
It is written in stone - written
in stone

True love is timeless and
unconditional
You don't need to read the writing
on the wall
I can see the future - happiness
won't fade away
The sun is in the sky just like it
was yesterday
Love will last forever

The sun may someday lose its light
The moon may not shine one night
Your heart will never be alone
It is written in stone - written
in stone

True love is timeless
It will grow through smiles
and sadness
Won't you walk with me
Our love, it will be forever
I know sometimes you might not
believe it
But baby I'll do my best to show
you, let you see it
Time might not be so bad
I know we'll come out ahead
Love is timeless
Timeless and unconditional
You don't need to read the writing
on the wall
It's written in stone
Happiness won't fade away

I've Finally Seen The Light lyrics - Daryl Hall

We spent our time
Looking for signs that light the way to love
The choice to be free
Aways open to me
What was I thinkin' of ?
Living in a fools paradise
Looking everywhere but in your eyes
Maybe I've been high lookin' low
But it's right here my dear, my heart says so

It's heaven around you
I've finally seen the light
I can't live without you
I've finally seen the light

Others have tried to get deep inside and make me understand
Hinding from me
All the others could see the boy become a man
Tryin' for this paradise
Why'd it take so long to realise
Why was I the last one to know
It's right here my dear, my heart says so

It's heaven around you
I've finally seen the light
I can't live without you
I've finally seen the light
It's right before me
I've finally seen the light
Like everyone told me
I've finally seen the light

Reachin' for this paradise
Why'd it take so long to realise
Why was I the last one to know
That love is here my dear, my heart says so

Dreamtime lyrics - Daryl Hall

I saw you standing and I felt your rage
Like a dark cloud on a crowded stage
You were talking through the smoke in your fantasy
I know you girl, I know what to believe

Maybe things ain't been so good at home
And the people that you love never cared at all
You want to run away, don't care where you go
You want to run away, run away, that's all you know

Believe it's alright to fantasize
And say the words you think will satisfy me
But you know better than that
'Cause you know what's a lie

You're living in dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)
It's time to wake up, ooh
You're living on dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)
It's time to shape up

In your dream, it's overcast
Rain comes down, moving your way fast
You want to run away, don't care where you go
You want to run away, run away, that's all you know

You turn a corner and you see a door
Walk on through, throw yourself on the floor
Oh, when you're looking up, it's no surprise
Standing there is a man with movie star eyes

You think he's gonna take care of you
The man with the plan that'll see you through
And I say there ain't no way
'Cause I know he's a lie

You're living in dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)
It's time to wake up, ooh
You're living on dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)
It's time to shape up, shape up
You're living on dreamtime (you want to run away)
Whoa-whoa
You're living on dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)
Want to run away, want to run away

I know
I say

You're living in dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)
Shape up
You're living on dreamtime, baby (you want to run away)
It's time to wake up

I never saw anybody fall apart so fast
You're living in dreamtime you know it ain't gonna last
Never saw anybody think she's so right and be so wrong
Living in dreamtime, it's hard to carry on, girl

Only A Vision lyrics - Daryl Hall

I can't see you when I look at you
Only see you in my memory
When I find you it's just outside my sight line
Between experience and fantasy
Don't bear up to close inspection
Close inspection of the cold hard facts
Blow in and out of my life like a spirit
My eye can't see you but my mind reacts

Only a vision in the corner of my eye
Only a vision that I see out of the corner of my eye
Only a vision

Said you loved me
Heard that plain as day
I should lose this
Vision fade away
What's holding on to me
Just some state of mind
Feeling's coming on
One more time
Close inspection
I've checked this out again and again
And it won't respond to cold hard facts
Then you blow in and out of my life like a spirit
My mind knows better but my heart reacts

Only a vision in the corner of my eye
Only a vision that I see out of the corner of my eye
Only a vision girl
I wish that vision that I'm seeing was real

I Wasn't Born Yesterday lyrics - Daryl Hall

I forgot just how to feel
City scene ain't no big deal
Soul deep So ya say
None of that takes my breath away
Oh I always seem to see
Both sides when they disagree
And neither one seems right
Too much city life
Is messin' with my inner lite
And everybody's too cool to believe

I Wasn't Born Yesterday
You should know by now
So let's set the record straight
And we can carry on
I Wasn't Born Yesterday
I'll find out
I ain't innocent
Lots of room for me to doubt
I never learned to cry

So far so extreme
If I'm jaded, you're naive
but behind that cynic's steady gaze
There's a wide-eyed lover drink for days
Oh I don't want to be
One of those guys who only sees
The joke behind the lie
Too much city life
May I don't know wrong from right
But baby I ain't too cool to believe

I Wasn't Born Yesterday
I don't die for love
Just let the record speak
Then I carry on
I Wasn't Born Yesterday
I don't die for love
It's never too late to come of age
Never too late
Oh I wanna learn to cry

Someone Like You lyrics - Daryl Hall

Only you could ever know
How hard it was for me to let you go
Hard to face all those nights
And suffer thru all the fools advice
Seems tome it's not so bad
to try for the kind of love that we had
Oh I need that romance
One that grows strong
When it's got no chance

Now you're gone away
And I'm left to carry on
Ain't nobody else gonna bear up to comparison
And if I can't have the real thing
Then I've got to find someone
Just like you

What you got it's what you need
There's pain in that but it's plain enough to see
I know I was satisfied
But nobody else came out of my side

I hope someone will come today
Somebody like you
Someone to take me all the way
Somebody like you
Someone to take your place
Somebody like you
Someone to fill this empty space

Next Step lyrics - Daryl Hall

I wanna go up where something matters
I wanna blow up where matter scatters
I wanna live into the future
I want to give... more girl

Next Step
No side stepping this time
Cross over life on the line
One thing to talk big
Go to follow thru
All set
Got to get past the present too
Don't want to reach out for yesterday
Don't want to block the shock of the new
I wanna see what new love will bring
I'm gonna give all that love to you

What's the Next Step
My mind is open wide
Next Step
What'll be the Next Step baby
What's the Next Step
I'm finished with the past
Next Step
Won't be the last step baby

You wanna wake up with me beside you
You wanna shake off bad thoughts inside you
We're gonna walk on into tomorrow
We're gonna have more fun NOW
Don't look around for yesterday
No blocking out the shock of the new
Do you wanna see what new love can bring
I'm gonna give all that love to you

What's the Next Step
My mind is open wide
Next Step
What'll be the Next Step baby
What's the Next Step
I haven't got a clue
Next Step
Wanna make the Next Step with you
What's the Next Step
Gonna take it gonna take it
Next Step
Gonna step right
Won't step back
What's the Next Step
No bad songs
No bad songs
Next Step
Say hey
Don't you want to take the Next Step
Ring out the old
Ring in the new
Never know 'til I do what I'm gonna do
Say hey
I want to take the Next Step
Say hey

What's the Next Step
My mind is open wide
What'll be the Next Step baby
Next Step
What's the Next Step
Ain't gonna be the last
Next Step
Forget about the past
What's the Next Step

We've got to open up
When the Next Step comes along
I've got to follow thru
Take the Next Step with you
I wanna ring out the old and ring in the new
Come out of the cold
Take a step with you

For You lyrics - Daryl Hall

Soothe me baby
Squeeze tite
Hold the moment
Fall thru the nite
Itch for pleasure
I scratch
Love's a treasure
I want to give back
I wanna give you
All that I've got
Attention's essential
Analysis not
It's not what you say girl
It's what you mean
So whisper with me
Share dreams
Stop
If you stop I'll remember so much
No one can steal what's real from my touch
Stop
what more can I say
There ain't nothing gonna get in the way

For You
Oh baby baby
I've been waiting waiting waiting
Before you I was given a lie
You opened up my life
Will I ever be the same again
Will I ever talk this way again
For You For You all the time
I know it's so right
I'm sending you a sign

Girl are you getting
what you expect
Blindly trying
Cry to connect
Needing affection
Ships in the nite
Making a statement
If it's wrong or it's right
Stop
Think for a while
Person to person
Mile after mile
Stop
There's something you missed
Here it is here it is
I just can't resist
Can't resist you

Foolish Pride lyrics - Daryl Hall

When I'm hurt then I come on strong
I wanna break down
But I just keep it in
Being too strong is the weakness, girl
'Cause when you fight the world
You know who's gonna win

And you say I won't look you in the eye
It's like talking to the wall
But a wall can crumble down
Yeah, there's something that's deep inside
That's gotta be tough
Whenever you're around

And I've got this foolish pride
And pride goes before a fall
Yeah, I've got this foolish pride

Foolish pride
Fool, fool, foolish, foolish pride

You make me feel like the livin' end
But the end came quick
And made me wanna die
So I played like I didn't care
I didn't mess my hair
Believe me, I don't know why

But I've got this foolish pride
And pride goes before a fall
But I've got this foolish pride

Foolish pride
Fool, fool foolish, foolish pride

If I wanted I could have fooled 'em all
That's great 'til tomorrow when I'm all alone
You know the truth comes out in the end
When the fools start falling they need their friends

Fool, foolish, foolish pride
Fool, foolish pride
Fool, foolish, foolish pride
Fool, foolish pride
Fool, foolish, foolish pride
Fool, foolish pride

Right As Rain lyrics - Daryl Hall

I've been trying so hard to close my eyes
Dawn is rising under those cloudy skies
Days in darkness
Seemed like they'd never end
But now the rules are changing, girl
We can begin again

And we'll be Right as Rain

Who's been fooling you
They've been cruel to me
The kind of love we share
Is hard for those people to see
Stormy weather
Still the chill remains
What they thought was lost forever
Has been found again

And we'll be Right as Rain

All those violent people
Wind up tearing our peace apart
Do their best to destroy our future
Before it has a chance to start
Never had a chance to start
The kind of love we share
It's so hard for some to see
I know it was hard for me
It ain't lost forever
It's been found again
In the Rain
And it feels so good to me

Let It Out lyrics - Daryl Hall

People don't read so easy
Never wanna say what's on their mind
Go from dreams to dollars
Then they wonder why the truth seems so unkind
They just hold on tighter and tighter
Running down the road that they know so well
Never wanna change the order
Too quick to say that time will tell

Let It Out - unlock the box
Let It Out - unravel the knots
Let It Out - if you've got something to say
Let It Out - get it out of the way

Why be an Artful Dodger
Come cool kind of fool who can slide on by
There's a whole lot of Art in sadness
So make it worth your while if you're gonna cry

Let It Out - unlock the box
Let It Out - unravel the knots
Let It Out - if you've got something to say
Let It Out - get it out of the way

You've got to push pull
Loosen up baby
Let out all the rage
Get a little crazy
Rearrange your furniture
Don't be afraid

You gotta push it
Pull it
Push it
Pull it

Any way you gotta do it
Just as long as you Let It Out

What's Gonna Happen To Us lyrics - Daryl Hall

I saw on the TV we're sellin' Arms to the enemy
So he can blow us all down
When we charge with the cards in our hands
And men in power places are resigning
'Cause even in high seats the woman is still fighting with the man
And tho I thought the time of the tough guy was just about over
Here comes another savior to stir the soldiers in the field
But what do the generals think about while the soldiers are dying
'Cause the rallying cries don't reach 'em
And if they could feel they'd say

What's Gonna Happen To Us

Does your shrink say find out who you are
Before you try to become a part of me
I'd think you'd want to anyway
She can't help you live out a middle-class fantasy
But can she talk you into leavin'
when your heart tells you to stay
Just when I thought the era of the guru was over
Here comes another savior to stir the soldiers in the field
What does the teacher care about while the student is trying
'Cause your crying mind don't reach her
If she could feel she'd say

What's Gonna Happen To Us

album: "Sacred Songs" (1980)

Sacred Songs lyrics - Daryl Hall

I like to read and I like to write
But you could persuade me to put the book down tonight
Just please don't ask to be a song heroine
It's not that easy just to stick you in, stick you in
Oh babe, I know you're right
But there's no time and it's not the night
I'd have to face you again and again
Although you know I'd like to stick you in, stick you in

They're all sacred songs
They're not easily won
You know the words
just seem to live on
The thoughts are sacred
Tho' the sound is profane
But this and that you know they're
one and the same
one and the same
one and the one and the same

You never know how you're gonna end
I start out hard and I end up thin
You waste your time
but occasionally score
But you can't tell
from what went down before
Oh, babe, do you see my point?
There's just no time
and it's not the night
I'd have to face you again and again
Although you know
I'd like to stick it in
stick it in

They're all sacred songs
They're not easily won
Because there's nothing
sacred anymore
The thoughts can still be
Tho' the sound is profane
But this and that you know they're
one and the same
one and the same
one and the one and the same

Something In 4/4 Time lyrics - Daryl Hall

Sooner or later it's a matter of money
And then it's just a matter of time
You can say you don't care and you think it's funny
But baby it's your life on the line
You're selling yourself and it's a matter of fact
Your love is your life and your life is your act

So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time
Ya gotta have something that always rhymes
Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time
Ya gotta have something
Gotta have something that rhymes

Continue to dream after you're robbed of sleep
even though the images fade
So grab what you can and all you can keep
Do you really think you'll come out unhurt?
You're selling yourself and it's a matter of fact
Your love is your life and your life is your act

So ya gotta have something in 2/4 time
Ya gotta have something that always rhymes
Ya gotta have something in 4/4 time
Ya gotta have something
Gotta have something that rhymes

Babs And Babs lyrics - Daryl Hall

Babs and Babs lay dreaming in a four poster bed
Arm in arm, head to head, Babs and Babs
Babs said, "Whatcha thinking?"
She said, "Nothing
But I never do 'cause I leave it up to you"
Babs looked out the window
Saw the moon and the sky
She saw the clouds drifting by
Voices crying and sighing and dying but she said nothing

"Look out on the lawn, there's a moon out tonight
There's a moon out tonight, can't ya see? "
"Silver dreams don't move me or your talk of the stars
And this isn't the time or place to make a fool of me.
No one wants to hear you when you're slipping away
And the light of your day always shows up the strength of your vision"
But she said nothing.

So Babs said "Don't you worry, I'll take good care of you
You're lack of feeling's a rotten thing
But I'll show you what to do.
Girl, you've got to get away
Girl, you've got to feel, oh, yeah."
Babs said "Don't you patronize me, I'm fine the way I am
At least I know what's happening
And I know just where I stand.
You live alone you die alone
When your dreams all fade away, oh, yeah."

Never compromising, never see eye to eye
So they turn, with a sigh, Babs and Babs
Have to be together like the night and the day
So they might as well stay the best of friends.
Locked in love we leave them with the moon in the sky
With the clouds drifting by
Voices crying and sighing and dying and we say nothing
She said nothing

NYCNY lyrics - Daryl Hall

So whadya want?
Is it déja vu or have I been here before?
I don't know but

Everything about you is still the same
Everything about you is so alive
Too much time around, you start to kick my ass
Too much time away, I lose my lease
(new york love me) so good, so good
(new york love me) keep my head up
(ny love me) nyc, I see
(ny why me) am I ny?

Try to run away
Ya know it's no use
Tongue in cheek so I can't speak
Vibrations knock my screws loose

Everything about you is still the same
Everything about you is so alive
Too much time around, you start to kick my ass
Too much time away, I lose my lease
(new york love me) so good, so good
(new york love me) keep my head up
(ny love me) nyc, I see
(ny why me) am I ny?

Written in the air
Written on return
Nowhere bright as here nowhere else
Written in the air
Written on return
Stones and fever dreams nothing else...
Nyc see ya real soon

Try to run away
Ya know it's no use
Tongue in cheek so I can't speak
Vibrations knock my screws loose
Well it ain't love
It ain't art
It's pressure
Pain in the heart that moves me
Nyc
That grooves me
Nyc
You move me
Nyc you lose me
Nyc

Everything about you is still the same
Everything about you is so alive
Too much time around, you start to kick my ass
Too much time away, I lose my lease
(new york love me) so good, so good
(new york love me) keep my head up
(ny love me) nyc, I see
(ny why me) am I ny?

The Farther Away I Am lyrics - Daryl Hall

The farther away I am,
The farther away I am
Is it just a cloud passing under
I don't want to lose you.......

Why Was It So Easy lyrics - Daryl Hall

The light from your star is glowing
Yeah, I see you in the magazine
Your face seems older now, more knowing
But I prefer a woman to a teenage queen
The wine and the confusion
It's your game and you play it so cool
That night seems like an illusion
In your hotel room

German eyes, blonde disguise
Never really knew who I was talking to
But if you're supposed to be such a mystery
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
Why was it so easy for me to be with you

Too much time has come between us
And the sad words that I hear you say
Must mean you don't hold me inside you
But I guess it couldn't go any other way
That night is so far behind us
The words are changed and so is the time
I only hope that you think of me
In a hotel room

Oh those eyes, blonde disguise
Never really knew who I was talking to
But if you're supposed to be such a mystery
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
Why was it so easy for me to be with you

Don't Leave Me Alone With Her lyrics - Daryl Hall

Levels
It's just a case of choosing my priorities
Stages
It's just the art of changing our perception
But when I see that girl it messes my security
So please don't leave me alone with her

She always calls me when I'm still at home
Hope I can call you while you're still at home
She always calls before I get away
Hope I can catch you before you get away

Levels
Always a case of choosing my priorities
Stages
It's just the art of changing our perception
But when I see that girl it messes my securities
So please don't leave me alone with her

She wants five minutes of what's taken me a lifetime
I get to see you in between your shows
There are different stages, levels, steps
I think we're far enough gone to worry now

She wants five minutes of what's taken me a lifetime

Survive lyrics - Daryl Hall

Whatever happened to you
The one that was so beautiful
I could count on you to make my life a little brighter
I always thought you were built to last
But I never saw anything fall apart so fast

You were born in freedom
To be a slave to your inhibitions
Inventing excuses and proving the right to back up your condition
But a soul like that ain't tied too tight
And it's liable to scatter all over the night

Without Tears lyrics - Daryl Hall

Too much time is wasted on the world
Too much time is wasted on you, girl
Indifferent or cold
A dragged-up scene from an old dream
Does it surprise you where those feelings can go?

Too much power is wasted on the wrong words
Too much power is wasted on the words
And if there's one thing I've learned through the years
It's how to pour my heart out without tears
Without tears
Earth magic

Looking for the lines
But never knowing that stream
Ley line the spring that's always flowing
Spirals up and down then reverse direction
Don't you wonder where the energy goes?

Too many secrets have been told this way
Too many secrets have been given away
But if there's one thing I've learned through the years
It's how to pour my heart out without tears
Without tears
Earth magic

You Burn Me Up I'm A Cigarette lyrics - Daryl Hall

You burn me up I'm a cigarette
You hold my hand I begin to sweat
You make me nervous
Ooh I'm nervous
It must be real bad karma
For this to be my dharma
With you

You burn me up I'm a cigarette
Life with you is a loser's bet
You make me crazy
Ooh I'm going crazy
Your therapeutic antics
Well they really make me frantic
With you

Strategic interaction irreducible fraction
Terminal inaction and a bitter hostile faction
I'm getting anxious
I'm franxious
Transactional diseases are the only thing that pleases
We

You burn me up I'm a cigarette
Demanding my attention which you're not gonna get
What did the sage mean?
What had the sage seen?
Musical elation is my only consolation
Oh yeah

You burn me up I'm about to ignite
When you tell me you love me I give up this fight
I'm feeling put down my feelings shut down
I want rejuvenation from male emancipation

Strategic interaction terminal inaction
A bitter hostile faction irreducible fraction
Transactional diseases are the only thing that pleases
We
