1.All By Myself
Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin' love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself anymore
Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself anymore
2.Never Gonna Fall In Love Again
Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen
No use pretending things can still be right
There's really nothing more to say
I'll get along without your kiss good night
Just close the door and walk away
Never gonna fall in love again
I don't wanna start with someone new
'Cause I couldn't bear to see it end
Just like me and you
No, I never wanna feel the pain
Of remembering how it used to be
Never gonna fall in love again
Just like you and me
At first we thought that love was here to stay
The summer made it seem so right
But like the sun we watched it fade away
From morning into lonely night
Never gonna fall in love again
I don't wanna start with someone new
'Cause I couldn't bear to see it end
Just like me and you
No, I never wanna feel the pain
Of remembering how it used to be
Never gonna fall in love again
Just like you and me
3.That's Rock 'N' Roll
4.Hey Deanie
Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen
Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The stars are dancin'
Like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time
To be in love
Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The summer's waitin'
The moon is shinin' so bright
Hey Deanie you're the one
I'm dreamin' of
I was a fool for your love
From the moment I saw you
Like a vision in the darkness
Of a thousand lonesome, lonely nights
Like my heart threw away the key
I'm as blind as a man could be
Oh darlin'
Till you help me see the light
Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The stars are dancin'
Like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time
To be in love
Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The summer's waitin'
The moon is shinin' so bright
Hey Deanie you're the one
I'm dreamin' of
I stand accused
I'm in league with the forces of darkness
An incurable believer
In the magic of the midnight sky
And the love that I found today
Oh, I can't let it slip away
Oh darlin', can't you read between the lines
Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The stars are dancin'
Like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time
To be in love
Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The summer's waitin'
The moon is shinin' so bright
Hey Deanie you're the one
I'm dreamin' of
Deanie, love is all there is
I don't wanna lose it
Don't wanna let the evenin' go
If it's here within our reach
I think we should use it
Now while we're young enough
To still let it show
Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The stars are dancin'
Like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time
To be in love
Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The summer's waitin'
The moon is shinin' so bright
Hey Deanie you're the one
I'm dreamin' of
Hey Deanie
You're the one I'm dreamin' of
Hey Deanie
You're the one I'm dreamin' of
Won't you come out tonight
You're the one that I'm dreamin' of
I'm a fool for your love
Won't you come out
Come out tonight
5.Hungry Eyes
Written：Frankie Previte／John Denicola
I've been meaning to tell you
I've got this feelin' that won't subside
I look at you and I fantasize
Darlin' tonight
Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
One took at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I
I want to hold you so hear me out
I want to show you what love's all about
Darlin' tonight
Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
One took at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you
And I've got hungry eyes
Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
Now did I take you by surprise
I need you to see
This love was meant to be
I've got hungry eyes
One took at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you
And I've got hungry eyes
Now I've got you in my sights
With those hungry eyes
Did I take you by surprise
With my hungry eyes
6.Make Me Lose Control
Written：Eric Carmen／Dean Pitchford
I run a comb through my hair
and step out in the street
And the city's the color of flame
in the mid-summer heat
Oh yeah
Jennifer's got her daddy's car,
She's playing 'Uptown' on the stereo
We go cruisin' so close,
The way they did long ago
My darlin'
(Turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(Keep) keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control
Baby, baby
(When) when I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever's high with the lights down low
(So take) take me over the edge
Make me lose control
We put the top down and park 'neath the moon
in the sky
And the wind is so hot in our hair, like a fire in July
Whoa yeah
Jennifer's singin' 'Stand By Me,'
And she knows every single word by heart
Was love always this good？
Or could this be just the start？
Whoa darlin'
(Turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(Keep) keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control
Baby, baby
(When) when I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever's high with the lights down low
(So take) take me over the edge
Make me lose control
'Be My Baby' comes on, and were movin' in time
And the heat from your touch makes me feel
like I'm losing my mind
Whoa yeah
(And then they played) 'Back In My Arms' again
(We close our eyes) we start rememberin' when
(We start to kiss) and now the feeling's intense
And we just pray that this night never ends
Wohohoho, my darlin'
(Turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
Keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control
Baaby
When I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever's high with the lights down low
(So take) take me over the edge
Make me lose control
Baby, baby
(Turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(Keep) keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control
When I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever's high with the lights down low
(So take) take me over the edge
Make me lose control
Baby, baby
(Turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(Keep) keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control
7.Change Of Heart
Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen
I can still recall
When we said that our love was forever
All those plans we made
For tomorrow that looked so bright
And I understand
All the reasons you gave me for leavin'
But that doesn't help
When I'm sleepin' alone each night
So if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it's not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do
I could find someone
More than willing to be your replacement
But there's no one else
Who can move me the way you do
So for now, goodbye
But if ever you find you still want me
You just call my name
'Cause I'll always be here for you
So if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it's not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do
Nothing you could ever do
Would change the things I know
Deep in my heart
So I got to make you understand before I go
Sooner or later
I don't know when
I'm gonna get you back
In my arms again
And if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it's not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do
And if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it's not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do
And if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it's not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do
8.She Did It
Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen
I set to sea on a ship called Emptiness
Cast away on the Island of Loneliness
Lookin' for love
Ooh, and I was lookin' for love
(You know)
I didn't think she could hear my S.O.S.
But she appeared like an angel of tenderness
Sent from above
Oh, she was bringing me love
Oh, mama, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
Ooh, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
Looking back, making love was meaningless
Till she touched me with her warmth
And a gentleness I'd never known
Ooh, and she was guiding me home
(Now I)
Now I see all the things in life I missed
Till she opened up my eyes to the limitless
Wonder of love
Oh, and now I'm ready for love
Oh, mama, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
Ooh, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
I never knew what love was about
Till she came and stole away my heart
Now I'm alive and I know it
And all I ever wanna do is show it
(Oh yeah)
Oh, mama, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
Ooh, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
9.It Hurts Too Much
Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen
A lot of empty words that I've already heard
Ain't gonna work tonight
Don't wanna talk about it anymore
'Cause that ain't gonna make things right
So now you're back again, you say it's not too late
To give it one more try
Well, I don't want to hear your lies
No, I don't want to hear your lies no more
I've got to find a way, I know, to let you go
'Cause it hurts too much
You say you'll never leave
And then, you're gone again
Oh, it hurts too much
It hurts too much, my love
I've heard it all before
I've got to tell you no, no, no
It hurts too much
You know I tried so hard
I spend so many nights
Waitin' for the phone to ring
But it's over now and I'm afraid
I don't feel much of anything
You say you want my love
You've played around enough
But now I can't forget
Well, honey there's nothing left
I ain't got nothin' left at all
I've got to find a way, I know, to let you go
'Cause it hurts too much
You say you'll never leave
And then, you're gone again
Oh, it hurts too much
It hurts too much, my love
I've heard it all before
I've got to tell you no, no, no
It hurts too much
Just when I thought I'd gotten over you
I hear you knockin' at my door
After everything you've put me through, you know
I just can't take it anymore
You say you want my love
You've played around enough
But now I can't forget
Well, honey there's nothing left
I ain't got nothin' left at all
I've got to find a
To find a way, I know, to let you go
'Cause it hurts too much
You say you'll never leave
And then, you're gone again
Oh, it hurts too much
It hurts too much, my love
I've heard it all before
I've got to tell you no, no, no
It hurts too much
Oh, it hurts too much
It hurts too much
Oh, it hurts too much
Listen when I tell you it hurts
Oh, it hurts too much
Oh mama it hurts
Oh, you hurt me so much
10.No Hard Feelings
Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen
We was young
And still believed in a 'Hard Day's Night'
But no one seemed to understand
That there was no relief in sight
The company man
He's got his nose glued to the charts
He says the record's doin' fine
But now the group is fallin' apart
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause there isn't anyone to blame
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause nothin' ever stays the same
Well we was locked in image prison
Waitin' for that break
We was raped, reshaped and tryin' to escape
Caught in a rock and roll time warp
Just tryin' to find the way to get out
Four years on
And things were really gettin' too intense
Critics ravin' 'bout our album
But we're makin' fifty cents
And in the end
We was facin' the hard, cold truth
So tomorrow come what may
Looks like it's Ricky and The Tooth
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause there isn't anyone to blame
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause nothin' ever stays the same
Well we was locked in image prison
Waitin' for that break
We was raped, reshaped and tryin' to escape
Caught in a rock and roll time warp
Just tryin' to find the way to get out
We gave it everything we had to give
But it was gettin' so tough
Too much frustration makes it hard to live
I think enough is enough
I said enough is enough
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause there isn't anyone to blame
I hope there's no hard feelings
'Cause nothin' ever stay the same
While we was locked in image prison
Waitin' for that break
We was raped, reshaped and tryin' to escape
Caught in a rock and roll time warp
Just tryin' to fine the way to get out
Lemme out, lemme out
Lemme out, lemme out
I gotta get out
Lemme out, lemme out
I gotta gotta gotta get out
Lemme out
I gotta get out
Lemme out, lemme out, lemme out
Lemme out
11.Boats Against The Current
Lyrics：Eric Carmen
Music：Eric Carmen
I know it's over
You know it's over
We're just goin' through the motions
But we're sailin' separate oceans world's apart
And you know it's breakin' my heart
I was a dreamer
You were a dreamer
But perfection is consuming
And it seems we're only human after all
And we've both been takin' the fall
But tomorrow
We'll run a little bit faster
Tomorrow
We're gonna find what we're after at last
Feelings that we left in the past
There's romance in the sunset
We're boats against the current to the end
Maybe we're older
Maybe we're colder
So we disregard solutions
While we cling to our illusions once again
And we keep rememberin' when
Seasons are changin'
Reasons are changin'
But the story isn't ending
So we find ourselves pretending one more day
While the years keep slippin' away
But tomorrow
We'll run a little bit faster
Tomorrow
We're gonna find what we're after at last
Feelings that we left in the past
There's romance in the sunset
We're boats against the current to the end
