Bryan Adams - Album: So Far So Good lyrics

Summer of '69 Straight from the heart It's only love Can't stop this things we started Do I have to say the words? This time Run to you Heaven Cuts like a knife (Everything I do) I do it for you Somebody Kids wanna rock Heat of the night Please forgive me --- SUMMER OF '69 I got my first real six string Bought it at the five and dime Played it til my fingers bled Was the summer of '69 Me and some guys from school Had a band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit and Jody got married I shoulda known we'd never get far But when I look back now That summer seemed to last forever And if I had the choice Ya - I'd always wanna be there Those were the best days of my life Ain't no use in complainin' When you got a job to do Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in And that's when I met you - ya Standin' on your mama's porch You told me that you'd wait forever Oh and when you held my hand I knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life Back in the summer of '69 Man we were k**in' time We were young and restless We needed to unwind I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no... And now the times are changin' Look at everything that's come and gone Sometimes when I play that old six string I think about ya'n wonder what went wrong Standin' on your mama's porch You told me it would last forever Oh the way you held my hand I knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life Back in the summer of '69 STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART I could start dreamin' but it'd never end As long as you're gone we may as well pretend I've been dreamin' Straight from the heart You said it's easy but who's to say That we'd be able to keep it this way But it's easier Comin' straight from the heart Give it to me straight from the heart Tell me we can make another start You know I'll never go - as long as I know It's comin' straight from the heart I'll see you on the street some other time And all our words would just fall outta line While we're dreamin' Straight from the heart Give it to me straight from the heart Tell me we can make one more start You know I'll never go - as long as I know It's comin' straight from the heart IT'S ONLY LOVE When the feelin' is ended There ain't no use pretendin' Don't ya worry - It's only love When your world has been shattered Ain't nothin' else matters It ain't over - It's only love And that's all - yeah When your heart has been broken Hard words have been spoken It ain't easy - but it's only love And your life ain't worth livin' And you're ready to give in Just remember - that it's only love You can live without the aggravation Ya gotta wanna win - ya gotta wanna win You keep lookin' back in desperation Over and over and over again When your world has been shattered Ain't nothin' else matters It ain't over - It's only love And if your life ain't worth livin' And you're ready to give in Just remember - that it's only love Ya - that's all Ya it ain't easy baby But it's only love - and that's all CAN'T STOP THIS THING WE STARTED You might stop a hurricane Might even stop the drivin' rain You might have a dozen other guys But if you wanna stop me baby - don't even try I'm goin' one way - your way It's such a strong way - let's make it our way Can't stop this thing we started Ya gotta know it's right Can't stop this course we plotted This thing called love we got it No place for the broken hearted Can't stop this thing we started - no way I'm goin' your way! You might stop the world spinnin' 'round Might even walk on holy ground I ain't superman and I can't fly But if you wanna stop me baby - don't even try I'm goin' one way - your way It's such a strong way - let's make it our way Can't stop this thing we started Ya gotta know it's right Can't stop this course we plotted This thing called love we got it No place for the broken hearted Can't stop this thing we started - no way I'm goin' your way! Oh - why take it slow I gotta know Nothin' can stop - this thing that we got DO I HAVE TO SAY THE WORDS? Rescue me from the mire Whisper words of desire Rescue me - darlin' rescue me With your arms open wide Want you here by my side Come to me - darlin' rescue me When this world's closin' in There's no need to pretend Set me free - darlin' rescue me I don't wanna let you go So I'm standin' in your way I never needed anyone like I'm needin' you today Do I have to say the words? Do I have to tell the truth? Do I have to shout it out? Do I have to say a prayer? Must I prove to you - how good we are together? Do I have to say the words? Rescue me from despair Tell me you will be there Help me please - darlin' rescue me Every dream that we share Every cross that we bear Can't you see - darlin' rescue me I don't wanna let you go So I'm standin' in your way I never needed anyone like I'm needin' you today Do I have to say the words? Do I have to tell the truth? Do I have to shout it out? Do I have to say a prayer? Must I prove to you - how good we are together? Do I have to say the words? THIS TIME I think about her all the time She's my fantasy An image burnin' in my mind Callin' out to me While my imagination's runnin' wild Yeah - things are getting clearer This time everything is all right No way she's gonna get away This time everything is easy And day - I'm gonna make her mine I've thought of every word I'd say Give or take a few But she turns and slowly walks away What am I supposed to do Hey - turn up your radio Oh - there's somethin' I want you to know This time everything is all right No way she's gonna get away This time everything is easy And day - I'm gonna make her mine Well it's hard to take cause she's miles away And I've waited a long time But the feelin's right and darlin' one of these nights Yeah - I'm gonna let you know This time everything is all right No way she's gonna get away This time everything is easy And day - I'm gonna make her mine RUN TO YOU She says her love for me could never die But that'd change if she ever found out about you and I Oh - but her love is cold It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know, cause... When it gets too much I need to feel your touch I'm gonna run to you I'm gonna run to you Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night I'm gonna run to you She's got a heart of gold she'd never let me down But you're the one that always turns me on You keep me comin' 'round I know her love is true But it's so damn easy makin' love to you I got my mind made up I need to feel your touch I'm gonna run to you Ya - I'm gonna run to you Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna stay all night I'm gonna run to you Ya - I'm gonna run to you Oh when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night I'm gonna run to you HEAVEN Oh - thinkin' about all our younger years There was only you and me We were young and wild and free Now nothin' can take you away from me We bin down that road before But that's over now You keep me comin' back for more Baby you're all that I want When you're lyin' here in my arms I'm findin' it hard to believe We're in heaven And love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart It isn't too hard to see We're in heaven Oh - once in your life you find someone Who will turn your world around Bring you up when you're feelin' down Ya - nothin' could change what you mean to me Oh there's lots that I could say But just hold me now Cause our love will light the way N' baby you're all that I want When you're lyin' here in my arms I'm findin' it hard to believe We're in heaven And love is all that I need And I found it there in your heart It isn't too hard to see We're in heaven I've bin waitin' for so long For something to arrive For love to come along Now our dreams are comin' true Through the good times and the bad Ya - I'll be standin' there by you CUTS LIKE A KNIFE Drivin' home this evenin' Coulda sworn we had it all worked out You had this boy believin' way beyond a shadow of a doubt Then I heard it on the street I heard ya might of found somebody new Well who is he baby - who is he and tell me what he means to you I took it for granted - but how was I to know That you'd be lettin' go Now it cuts like a knife - but it feels so right It cuts like a knife - but it feels so right There's times I've bin mistaken There's times I've thought I've bin misunderstood So wait a minute darlin' - can't you see we did the best we could This wouldn't be the first time - that things have gone astray Now you've thrown it all away Now it cuts like a knife - but it feels so right It cuts like a knife - but it feels so right (EVERYTHING I DO) I DO IT FOR YOU Look into my eyes - you will see What you mean to me Search your heart - search your soul And when you find me there you'll search no more Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for You know it's true Everything I do - I do it for you Look into my heart - you will find There's nothin' there to hide Take me as I am - take my life I would give it all - I would sacrifice Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more Ya know it's true Everything I do - I do it for you There's no love - like your love And no other - could give more love There's nowhere - unless you're there All the time - all the way Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more I would fight for you - I'd lie for you Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you Ya know it's true Everything I do - I do it for you SOMEBODY I bin lookin' for someone Between the fire and the flame We're all lookin' for somethin' To ease the pain Now who can you turn to When it's all black 'n' white And the winners are losers You see it every night I need somebody Somebody like you Everybody needs somebody I need somebody Hey what about you Everybody needs somebody When you're out on the front line And you're watchin' them fall Doesn't take long to realize It ain't worth fightin' for I thought I saw the Madonna When you walked in the room And your eyes were like diamonds And they cut right through - Oh they cut right through I need somebody Somebody like you Everybody needs somebody I need somebody Hey what about you We all need somebody Another night another lesson learned It's the distance that keeps us sane But when the silence leads to sorrow We do it all again - all again I need somebody Somebody like you Everybody needs somebody I need somebody Hey what about you Everybody needs somebody KIDS WANNA ROCK Turned on the radio Sounded like a disco Musta turned the dial for a couple of miles But I couldn't find no rock n' roll This computerized crap ain't gettin' me off Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock London to LA Talk about the New Wave For a couple of bucks ya get a weird haircut And waste your life away Around the world or around the block Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock Get me my DJ I got somethin' he's gotta play Wanna hear it I can't wait So turn it up - turn it up...
