  Can't Stop This Thing We Started (Adams, R.J.Lange)

  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
  You gotta know it's right
  Can't stop this course we've plotted
  This thing called love we got it
  No place for the brokenhearted
  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
  You gotta know it's right
  Can't stop this course we've plotted
  This thing called love we got it
  No place for the brokenhearted
  Can't stop this thing we started - no way
  I'm goin' your way!

  Oh - why take it slow
  I gotta know 
  Nothing can stop this thing that we got

  I'm Ready (Adams, J.Vallance)

  I'd like to see you, thought I'd let you know
  I wanna be with you everyday
  Cause I've got a feeling that beginning to grow
  And there's only one thing I wanna say

  I'm ready - to love you
  I'm ready - to hold you
  I'm ready - I'm ready
  Ready as I'm gonna be

  She left me a long note when she left me here
  Told me that love was hard to find
  But baby it's easy and I'll make it clear
  That there's only one thing on my mind

  I'm ready - to love you
  I'm reday - to hold you
  I'm ready - I'm ready
  Ready as I'm gonna be


  Summer of '69 (Adams, J.Vallance)

  I got my first real six-string
  Bought it at the five-and-dime
  Played it till my fingers bled
  It 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

  Oh 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

  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 killin' 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 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

  Let's Make A Night To Remember (Adams, R.J.Lange)

  I love the way ya look tonight
  With your hair hangin' down on your shoulders
  N' I love the way ya dance your slow sweet tango
  The way ya wanna do everything but talk
  And how ya stare at me with those undress me eyes
  Your breath on my body makes me warm inside

  Let's do something that's all the way
  Cuz I've never touched somebody like the way I touch your body
  Now I never want to let your body go...

  Beads of sweat drippin' down your skin
  Me lying here - n' you lyin' there
  Our shadows on the wall and our hands everywhere

  that she's really wanted
  When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
  Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
  that it's gonna last forever
  So tell me have you ever really - really really ever loved a woman?

  To really love a woman
  Let her hold you - 
  til ya know how she needs to be touched

  Til you can feel her in your blood
  N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
  Ya know ya really love a woman

  When you love a woman 
  you tell her that she's really wanted
  When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
  Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
  that you'll always be together

  You got to give her some faith - hold her tight
  A little tenderness - gotta treat her right
  She will be there for you, takin' good care of you
  Ya really gotta love your woman...

  Run To You (Adams, J.Vallance)

  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 need to feel your touch

  Ya - I'm gonna run to you
  Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna stay all night

  (Everything I Do) I Do It For You (Adams, R.J.Lange,
  M.Kamen)

  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

  Don'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

  Back To You (Adams, E.Kennedy)

  I've been down - I've been beat
  I've been so tired-that I could not speak
  I've been so lost thatt I could not see
  I wanted things that were out of reach
  then I found you and you helped me through
  and ya showed me what to do
  And that's why I'm comin' back to you...

  Chorus:
  Like a star that guides a ship across the ocean
  that's how your love will take me home back to you
  And if I wish upon that star - someday I'll be where you are 
  I know that day is coming soon - ya, I'm coming back to you.
  You've been alone, but ya did not show it
  You've been in pain, but did not know it
  Let me do what I needed to - you were there when I needed you
  Mighta let you down, mighta messed you round
  but ya never changed your point of view
  and that's why I'm comin' back to you...

  Repeat Chorus

  I'm coming back to you
  I'm coming back to you
  I'm coming back to you
  That day is coming soon
  I'm coming back to you

  When You're Gone (Adams, Elliott Kennedy)

  i've been wandering around the house all night
  wondering what the hell to do
  i'm trying to concentrate but all i can think of is you
  well the phone don't ring cuz my friends ain't home
  i'm tired of being all alone
  got the tv on cuz the radio's playing songs that remind
  me of you

  baby when you're gone - i realize i'm in love
  the days go on and on - and the nights just seem so
  long
  even food don't taste that good - drink ain't doing
  what it should
  things just feel so wrong - baby when you're gone

  i've been driving up and down these streets
  trying to find somewhere to go
  ya i'm lookin' for a familiar face but there's no one i
  know

  this is torture - this is pain - it feels like i'm gonna go
  insane
  i hope you're coming back real soon -cuz i don't know
  what to do

  Please Forgive Me (Adams, R.J.Lange)

  Still feels like our first night together
  Feels like the first kiss
  It's gettin' better baby
  No one can better this
  Still holdin' on, you're still the one
  First time our eyes met - same feelin' I get
  Only feels much stronger - wanna love ya longer
  You still turn the fire on...
  So if you're feelin' lonely don't - you're the only one I ever want
  I only wanna make it good - so if I love ya a little more than I should

  Please forgive me - I know not what I do
  Please forgive me - I can't stop lovin' you

  The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You (Adams, R.J.Lange)

  Well I don't look good in no Armani Suits
  No Gucci shoes - or designer boots
  I've tried the latest lines from A to Z
  But there's just one thing that looks good on me

  The only thing I want
  The only thing I need
  The only thing I choose
  The only thing that looks good on me...is you

  I'm not satisfied with Versace style
  Put those patent leather pants - in the circular file
  Sometimes I think - I might be lookin' good
  But there's only one thing that fits me like it should

  The only thing I want
  The only thing I need
  The only thing I choose
  The only thing that looks good on me...is you

  Ya it's you - it could only be you
  Nobody else will ever do
  Ya baby it's you - that I stick to
  Ya we stick like glue

  The only thing I want
  The only thing I need
  The only thing I choose
  The only thing that looks good on me...is you

  Inside Out (Adams, Gretchen Peters)

  the biggest lie you ever told - your deepest fear 'bout growin' old
  the longest night you ever spent - the angriest letter you never
  sent
  the boy you swore you'd never leave - the one you kissed on new
  years's eve
  the sweetest dream you had last night -- your darkest hour, your
  hardest fight

  i wanna know you - like i know myself
  i'm waitin' for you - there ain't no one else
  talk to me baby - scream and shout
  i want to know you - inside out
  i wanna dig down deep - i wanna lose some sleep
  i wanna scream and shout - i wanna know you inside out
  i wanna take my time - i wanna know your mind
  ya know there ain't no doubt - i wanna know you inside out

  the saddest song you ever heard - the most you said with just one
  word
  the loneliest prayer you ever prayed - the truest vow you ever
  made
  what makes you laught, what makes you cry
  what makes you mad, what gets you by
  you highest hight, your lowest low - these things I want to know

  i wanna know you - like i know myself
  i'm waitin' for you - there ain't no one else
  talk to me baby - scream and shout
  i want to know you - inside out
  i wanna dig down deep - i wanna lose some sleep
  i wanna scream and shout - i wanna know you inside out
  i wanna take my time - i wanna know your mind
  ya know there ain't no doubt - i wanna know oyu inside out
  i wanna know your sould - i wanna lose control
  c'mon n' let it out - i wanna know you inside out
  ya gotta dig down deep - i wanna lose some slieep
  i wanna scream and shout - i wanna know oyu inside out
  tell me everything...


  18 Til I Die (Adams, R.J.Lange)

  Wanna be young - the rest of my life
  Never say no - try anything twice
  Til the angels come - and ask me to fly
  Gonna be 18 til I die - 18 til I die
  Can't live forever - that's wishful thinkin'
  Who ever said that - must of bin' drinkin'
  Don't wanna grow up - I don't see why
  I couldn't care less if time flies by

  18 til I die - gonna be 18 til I die
  Ya it sure feels good to be alive
  Someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55! - 18 til I die

  Anyway - I just wanna say
  Why bother with what happened yesterday
  It's not my style - I live for the minute
  If ya wanna stay young - get both feet in it - 18 til I
  die
  A 'lil bit of this - a 'lil bit of that
  'Lil bit of everything - gotta get on track
  It's not how ya look, it's what ya feel inside
  I don't care when - I don't need ta know why

  18 til I die - gonna be 18 til I die
  Ya it sure feels good to be alive
  Someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55! - 18 til I die
  Ya there's one thing for sure - I'm sure gonna try

  Don't worry 'bout the future
  Forget about the past
  Gonna have a ball - ya we're gonna have a blast
  Gonna make it last
