WHITESNAKE Lyrics
30th Anniversary Collection
(2008)
1. Walking in the Shadow of the Blues
(Coverdale/Marsden)
I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it you can never understand
So many times I thought about it
And now I know just what it means to be a man
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
All of my life I've had a strange reputation,
I've been the black sheep of the family all along
I never know if in my heart I'm really guilty
But, I've been accused of never knowing right from wrong
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
My father said you're crazy,
He said what you gonna do?
I left with my guitar and said
I'll leave it up to you
I'm gonna live the life I love
And live the life I choose,
And I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it I will tell you once again
All of my life I've been caught up in a crossfire,
'Cos I've been branded with the devil mark of cain
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues,
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
2. Sweet Talker
(Coverdale/Marsden)
I can tell by way you walk,
You give it all away
By the sweet way that you talk, yes you do
You got long legs, a black girl sway,
The way you shake your booty
Gives your schoolgirl game away, yes it does
You're just a sweet talker, bad daughter,
An' you've just begun
The bitch is in heat,
So you better run
I know you know
You got what it takes,
You got the fever,
But, you give me the shakes, yes you do
Straight out of Lolita
With nothing to lose,
When I got your number
My juke box blew a fuse, yes it did
You're just sweet talker, bad daughter,
An' you've just begun
The bitch is in heat,
So you better run, you better run,
So you better run, you better run
Or you better hide
Sweet talker, bad daughter,
You've just begun
The bitch is in heat
So you better run, you better run,
You better run, you better run,
Or you better hide
I can tell by way you walk,
You give it all away
By the sweet way that you talk, yes you do
You got long legs, a black girl sway,
The way you shake your booty
Gives your schoolgirl game away, yes it does
You're just a sweet talker, bad daughter,
An' you've just begun
Sweet talker, bad daughter,
An' you've just begun
The bitch is in heat,
So you better run
3. Would I Lie to You
(Coverdale/Marsden/Moody)
Hey girl, if you want me,
Come an' get me
Don't hang around
Or we could spend the night sleeping alone
If you could change your style, for a while,
An' look in my direction,
Tell me do I look the kind of guy
Who takes advantage of a women like you
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to you
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
Baby, I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to, would I lie to, would I lie to you
Hey girl, if you need
Some love an' affection,
I'll whisper all the sweet, sweet nothings
I know you little girls like to hear
If you would change your mind
We could find a night of satin sheet action,
I promise I won't do anything
Baby, unless you wanted me to
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to you
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to, would I lie to, should I lie to you
I don't wanna sleep alone tonight,
After all you put me through.
I've spent the whole night searching
For a woman just like you.
Look in my eyes ... tell you lies
Then, baby, it's just because I want you to stay
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to you.
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
Baby, I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to, would I lie to, would I lie to you...
4. Trouble
I was raised a gambler's son
And before I could walk,
I had to learn how to run.
And I never, never ever
Played a loaded dice.
But, I rolled a lot of women
With a heart as cold as ice.
On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Always coming my way,
Trouble always coming my way.
Baby I'm lonely, I'm out of control,
I need someone to understand
The badness in my soul.
Though I never, I never
Stole another man's wife
But, I fooled around plenty enough
And I got what I paid for.
On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Trouble always coming my way.
Trouble.
(Solo)
On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Trouble always coming my way.
Trouble always coming my way, trouble always coming...
5. Gambler
(Coverdale/Galley)
I've been a gypsy
For a thousand years
A victim of circumstance
I go wherever my destiny calls
I'm caught in a game of chance
I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside
No fame or fortune,
No luck of the draw
When I dance with Queen of Hearts
A jack of all trades
But, a loser in love
It's tearing my soul apart
Still I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in
I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in
The jack of diamonds
An' the ace of spades
Try to use me, and to abuse me
It seems the dealer
Wont give me a chance
I'm victim of circumstance
So I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in
So I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in...
6. Love Hunter
(Coverdale/Moody/Marsden)
I need a woman to treat me good
And give me everything a good woman should
Everyday and every night
She'd be waiting on her brown-eyed boy
To come and treat her right
I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you,
I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you
I'm gonna give you all my loving
And use my tail on you
In my time I've been a back door man,
I've taken everything I could
But, I've given all I can
I don't want no woman
To weep or moan,
I'm looking for a sweet heartbreaker
And I'm never gonna leave her alone
I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you,
I'm a love hunter baby
What you gonna do?
I'm gonna give you all my loving
And use my tail on you
I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you,
I'm a love hunter baby
What you gonna do?
I'm gonna give you all my loving
And use my tail on you
'Cos I'm a love hunter baby,
I'm a love hunter baby...
I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you
I'm sneaking up on you!
7. Ready an' Willing
(Coverdale/Lord/Moody/Murray/Paice)
I wanna be loved,
Don't wanna be teased.
I don't want no woman
Getting down on her knees.
I'm ready an' willing
To reach for the sun,
So I can get me some loving
Before I'm gone.
I want more, more, more, more,
I want some more
Sweet satisfaction to soothe my soul.
I want you to rock me
All night long.
Rope an' ride me, baby,
Do me wrong.
Roll me over, make be bleed,
I'd dance with the devil
To get what I need.
I need more, more, more, more,
I need some more of that
Sweet satisfaction to soothe my soul.
I get this crazy feeling inside my soul,
And it's driving me insane.
I get this crazy feeling,
Can you feel it, baby,
It's driving me out of my mind.
I'm talking about sweet satisfaction,
I'm ready an' willing, sweet satisfaction.
I'm ready an' willing, sweet satisfaction.
Sweet satisfaction, sweet satisfaction.
I'm ready an' willing.
I get this crazy feeling inside my soul,
And it's driving me insane.
I get this crazy feeling,
Can you feel it, baby,
It's driving me out of my mind.
I keep on looking for
Sweet satisfaction, I'm ready an' willing.
Sweet satisfaction, I'm ready an' willing.
Sweet satisfaction, I keep on looking.
Sweet satisfaction, I keep on looking...
8. Child of Babylon
(Coverdale/Marsden)
When I heard the sound of thunder
On the day that I was born,
I was blinded by the lighting
An' baptised in the storm
My father started crying
When he saw what he had done,
But, my mother started praying
Have mercy on my son,
He is a child of Babylon
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
I am a child,
A child of Babylon
When I've fooled around so many times
When I've known it ain't been right,
But, I paint it all in colours
When it really should be black and white
I sail my ship through muddy waters,
Try to open every door,
When I saw the seven wonders
It left me wanting more
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run
I am a child,
A child of Babylon
On my day of judgement
I know how it will be,
I'm prepared to meet my maker
With no hope for charity
I'll stand alone and pay the price
For everything I've done,
'Cos there ain't guardian angel
For a child of Babylon
I am a child,
A child of Babylon
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run
I am a child,
A child of Babylon
Child of Babylon
9. Here I Go Again
No, I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
here i go again, here i go again
Tho' I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
10. Carry Your Load
(Coverdale)
I take what I want,
And I got my eye on you
It's late in the evening
What are you gonna do
I got the place,
If you got the time,
I got the motion, baby,
If you got the mind
So wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache
So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road
Carry your load, down the long, winding road
All I'm asking, all I wanna do is just
Put a little love in your heart,
Put a little love in your heart
I know what I want,
And it's close to the bone
Sooner or later, baby,
I'll be taking you home
You got the cool,
But, you give me the heat
You got the music, baby,
But, you give me the beat
So wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache
So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road
Carry your love,
Down the long, winding road
All I'm asking, all I wanna do is just
Put a little love in your heart
Wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache
So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road
Carry your love
Down the long, winding road
You got to carry your load
Down the long, winding road
11. Crying in the Rain
A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy
With the thoughts of retribution
But, a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life
I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind,
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But, a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry
The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain...
I can never deny
All the sweet things I have tasted
Tho' I've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more,
I know where I'm going
There's no hope of absolution
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad
The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain
The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain
Crying in the rain...
12. Rough an' Ready
(Coverdale/Moody)
I take what I want
An' I steal anything that I need,
I would do anything
To get my satisfaction guaranteed
'Cos I'm looking for love,
The time has come
I'm looking for love,
An' I mean to get me some
I'm looking for love right now,
An' I'm rough an' ready
All of you woman better
Lift up your skirts an' run,
'Cos I aim to shoot my pistol
An' fire like a Gatlin gun
'Cos I'm looking for love,
Believe me when I say
I'm looking for love,
In the worst kind of way
I'm looking for love right now
An' I'm rough an' ready
Rough an' ready...
Rough an' ready...
I take what I want
An' I steal anything that I need,
I would do anything
To get my satisfaction guaranteed
'Cos I'm looking for love,
The time has come
I'm looking for love,
An' I mean to get me some
I'm looking for love right now,
An' I'm rough an' ready
Rough an' ready...
13. Wine, Women an' Song
(Coverdale/Lord/Marsden/Moody/Murray/Paice)
I ain't an educated man
As all you Fleet Street preachers know,
It's just the simple things in life
Get my motor running, ready to go
If I can make you smile
I will raise my glass,
An' if you don't like it
Then, baby, you can kiss my ass!
You can tell me it's wrong,
But, I love wine, women an' song
Give me a good time woman,
An' a love potion bottle of booze
'Cos I got a juke box heart
Full of honky tonk rhythm an' blues
You better lock up your daughter, your sister too,
If get in my way, I'm gonna rock an' roll over you,
Ain't nothing you can do
You can tell it's wrong,
But I love wine, women an' song
Wine, women an' song, talking 'bout
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song
You get what you can
But, don't take too long
Wine, women an' song,
Give me a rock an' roll band
With a mean an' dirty blues guitar,
Take me to a dance hall palace
With a twenty four hour bar
Then you better lock up your daughter, your sister too,
If you get in my way, I'm gonna rock an' roll over you,
Ain't nothing you can do
You can tell me it's wrong,
But I love wine, women an' song
Wine, women an' song, talking 'bout
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song
You get what you can
But, don't take too long,
Wine, women an' song
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song
You get what you can
But, don't take too long,
Wine, women an' song
Wine, women an' song
14. Lie Down..I Think I Love You
You got the smile of a Monalisa,
Know it all an' giving nothing away.
You make the sins of a vestal virgin,
Look nothing more that a roll in the hay.
So lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
You give an air of the Dolce Vita,
Society's made a queen out of you.
Casanova couldn't take all your virtue,
But, rock 'n' roll is gonna steal it from you.
So lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Come on, girl, it'll be alright,
Easy does it nice and slow.
Woah, you know, mama, that tonight's the night,
Come on and let your feelings show.
Take a look in the mirror,
Tell me what you see.
If it ain't sweet surrender
You can blame it on somebody, not the devil in me.
So lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
(Solo)
Take a look in the mirror,
Tell me what you see.
If it ain't sweet surrender
You can blame it on somebody, not the devil in me.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care...
15. Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City (live)
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
Baby, since you been around.
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity, child
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
Every place that I go,
Well, it seems so strange.
Without you love, baby, baby,
Things have changed.
Now that you're gone
Y'know the sun don't shine,
From the city hall
To the county line, that's why
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
(Solo)
Every place that I go,
Well, it seems so strange.
Without you love, baby, baby,
Things have changed.
Now that you're gone
Y'know the sun don't shine,
From the city hall
Woman, to the county line, that's why
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
There ain't no love in the heart of town.
There ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
(Solo)
There ain't no love in the heart of the city,
There ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around,
'Cos you ain't around.
16. Fool for Your Loving (live)
(Coverdale/Marsden/Moody)
I was born under a bad sign,
Left out in the cold
I'm a lonely man who knows
Just what it means to lose control
But, I took all the heartache
And turned it to shame,
Now I'm moving, moving on,
And I ain't taking the blame
Don't come running to me,
I know I've done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
Just makes a hard loving man
So I can say it to you, babe
I'll be a fool for your loving no more,
A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying,
Fool for your loving no more
I'll be a fool for your loving no more
I'm tired of hiding my feelings,
You left me lonely too long
I gave my heart, and you tore it apart,
Oh, baby, you done me wrong
Don't come running to me,
I know I've done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
Just makes a hard loving man
So I can say it to you, babe
I'll be a fool for your loving no more,
A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying,
Fool for your loving no more
I'll be a fool for your loving no more
I'll be a fool for your loving no more, no more, no more
So I can say it to you, babe
I'll be a fool for your loving no more,
A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying,
Fool for your loving no more
A fool for your loving no more
Fool for your loving no more...
17. Take Me with You (live)
Every time I see my baby home,
I wanna kiss a little better so I get stoned.
Gonna spread her pretty legs so I can see,
Sweet lip honey be the death of me
And you will discover I'll be your midnight lover,
Oh babe, bring it on home to me.
Sometimes when I'm feeling low,
I go looking for a lover where the bad girls go.
Sorry little girl, If you can't stay,
Your red light mama gonna show the way.
And then a certain madness,
Will 'crease my heart with sadness
Oh babe, bring it on home to me.
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs,
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs.
I know love and what it means,
It's a skinny little girl in tight ass jeans.
I love to hear'em moan and cry,
'Cos God made men to satisfy.
And with the fire returning,
I feel the fever burning
Oh babe, bring it on home to me.
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs,
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs.
Oh, take me with you.
(Solo)
Every time I see my baby home,
I wanna kiss a little better so I get stoned.
Gonna spread her pretty legs so I can see,
Sweet lip honey be the death of me.
And I will discover you'll be my midnight lover,
Oh babe, bring it on home to me.
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs,
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs.
Take me with you.
18. Fool for Your Loving
(Coverdale/Marsden/Moody)
I was born under a bad sign,

Fool for your loving no more...
19. Don't Break My Heart Again
(Coverdale)
I'm gonna take it to the limit of my love,
Before I turn and walk away
I've had enough of holding on
The promises of yesterday
Every day of my life, it seems,
Trouble's knocking at my door,
It's hard to try and satisfy
When you don't know what you're fighting for
Time and again I sing your song,
But, I've been runnin' on empty far too long
I've had enough holdin' on to the past,
Make no mistake, it could be your last
Don't break my heart again, like you did before
Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore
I never hide the feeling inside,
And though I'm standing my back to the wall,
I know that even in a summer love
A little bit of rain must fall
But, every road I take I know
Where it's gonna lead me to,
Because I've travelled every highway
And they all keep coming back to you
Time and again I sing your song,
But, I've been runnin' on empty far too long
I've had enough holdin' on to the past,
Make no mistake, it could be your last
Don't break my heart again, like you did before
Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore
Don't break my heart
Don't break my heart again, like you did before
Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore
20. Hit an' Run
(Coverdale/Marsden/Moody)
I've never had a home sweet home life
An' I don't want a nine to five,
So many women I know
Think they can tie me down,
But, I will never let them take me alive
I hit an' run, hit an' run, hit an' run, hit an' run, hit an' run.
Now some women say they don't want nothing,
But a sweet talkin' bull of a man,
I've heard it before, I can't hear it no more
'Cos they all take whatever they can,
But, still I want a heartbreaker,
A love maker, a soul shaker,
A women who can turn me on,
For a just little hit an' run, hit an' run
She can be a love stealer,
A double dealer, a free wheeler
As long as she can turn me on
For just a little hit an' run,
A little bit of hit an' run
You can keep your lock and key
No ball and chain can harness me.
Take me home tonight,
Love and treat me right
But, in the morning you'll find me gone,
I hit an' run.
Hit an' run...
21. The Time Is Right for Love
When I saw you in the Garden
Sweet lilac in your hair,
The sunlight seemed to surround you
And bless the morning air.
I wondered what your name was
And if you would dance with me,
I heard you cry for mercy
But, my eyes they could not see.
'Cos the time is right for love,
The time is right for love,
You can pray to the Lord above
But, the time is right for love.
So much for all your sweet words,
All that you said you would do.
Remember all my love songs,
They were promises to you.
But, I don't hold it against you,
I know you're not to blame
So draw your circle around me
And we'll put all your lovers to shame.
'Cos the time is right for love,
The time is right for love,
You can pray to the Lord above
But, the time is right for love.
(Solo)
'Cos the time is right for love,
The time is right for love,
You can pray to the Lord above
But, the time is right for love...
22. Love Ain't No Stranger
(Coverdale/Galley)
Who knows where the cold wind blows,
I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
Who am I to believe in love,
Oh, love ain't no stranger
I looked around an' what did I see
Broken hearted people staring at me,
All searching 'cos they still believe,
Oh, love ain't no stranger
I was alone an' I needed love
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
I heard no warning, but, a heart can tell
I'd feel the emptiness of love I know so well
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love, no, no, no
Can't hold the passion of a soul in need,
I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed
I know good loving an' I'm a friend of pain,
But, when I read between the lines it's all the same
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love
So who knows where the cold wind blows,
I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
Who am I to believe in love,
Lord, have mercy,
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
I was alone an' I needed love
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
Can't hold the passion of a soul in need,
I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love
Love ain't no stranger,
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger...
23. Too Many Tears
(Coverdale/Vandenberg)
I used to be the man for you,
Did everything you wanted me to,
So, tell me, baby,
What did I do wrong...
I told you what you wanted to know,
Precious secrets never spoken before.
All I'm asking,
Where did I go wrong...
Some things are better left unsaid,
But, all I do is cry instead,
Now, I've cried me a river,
Thinking how it used to be...
There've been too many tears falling,
And there've been too many hearts
Breaking in two.
Remember what we had together,
Believing it would last forever.
So, tell me, baby,
Where did I go wrong...
Everything I had was yours,
More than I have ever given before,
So, won't you tell me
Did I hurt you so bad...
I guess I'm fooling myself,
'Cause I want you and no one else.
And I can't understand
Why you're doing these things to me...
There've been too many tears falling,
And there've been too many hearts
Breaking in two...
Remember what we had together,
Believing it would last forever.
So, tell me, baby,
Where did I go wrong, where did I go wrong...
Now my heart is breaking,
My whole world is shaking,
'Cause I can't understand
Why you're doing these things to me...
There've been too many tears falling,
And there've been too many hearts
Breaking in two...
Remember what we had together,
Believing it would last forever...
So, tell me, baby,
Where did I go wrong...
24. Pride and Joy
25. Victim of Love
(Coverdale)
I'm down on love
An' I don't give a damn,
I take my chances
Whenever I can
Like a lamb to the slaughter,
Another sacrifice,
For giving love to woman
With a heart stone cold as ice
I'm down on love
An' I'm clean out of pain,
I ain't no stranger
To the crying game
Too scared to suffer,
An' too blind to see,
But, I played with fire
An' I got what was coming to me
Now, one more heartache
Don't bother me,
Just one more lonely night
To drown in misery
I am a victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love
Victim of love, victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love
I'm down on love
An' I feel like a fool
To beg for mercy
'Cos I broke the rules
So do me no favours
With your cool advice,
I know the losing cost,
An' I'll pay the price
One more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery
I am a victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love
Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love
One more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery
Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love...
26. Judgement Day
(Coverdale/Vandenberg)
The night is gone,
The time has come
To find a new day has begun,
An' it promises to stay
To soothe the pain of wasted years
An' kiss away the bitter tears
A love to light the way
And from the darkness
Comes a smile,
That reaches out for many miles,
Touching everyone.
No more shadows of the past,
Your spirit free to fly at last,
Shining in the sun
Like the rolling thunder,
I feel the power of love,
It's a gift from heaven
And the Lord above
We walk toward desire,
Hand and hand
Through fields of fire
With only love to light the way
On the road to Judgement Day
Take it easy, take it slow,
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go,
Places never seen before
'Cause I love you, an' I need you,
I'll do my best to please you,
My love can open any door
When you hear the thunder
In your darkest night,
I'll be there to hold you
When the lightning strikes
So don't you worry,
You can ease your mind
'Cause we'll still be dancing
At the end of time
Who loves you, who needs you,
Who'll do his best to please you,
I love you, I need you
I'll get down on my knees
We walk toward desire,
Hand and hand
Through fields of fire
With only love to light the way
On the road to Judgement Day
So don't you worry, baby
On the road to Judgement Day
Who loves you, who needs you
On the road to Judgement Day
So I love you, and I need you
My love can open any door
My love can open any door...
27. Is This Love
(Coverdale/Sykes)
I should have known better
Than to let you go alone,
It's times like these
I can't make it on my own
Wasted days, and sleepless nights
And I can't wait to see you again
I find I spend my time
Waiting on your call,
How can I tell you, baby
My back's against the wall
I need you by my side
To tell me it's alright,
'Cos I don't think I can take anymore
Is this love that I'm feeling,
Is this the love, that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming,
This must be love,
'Cos it's really got a hold on me,
A hold on me...
I can't stop the feeling
I've been this way before
But, with you I've found the key
To open any door
I can feel my love for you
Growing stronger day by day,
An' I can't wait to see you again
So I can hold you in my arms
Is this love that I'm feeling,
Is this the love, that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming,
This must be love,
'Cos it's really got a hold on me,
A hold on me...
Is this love that I'm feeling,
Is this the love, that I've been searching for...
Is this love or am I dreaming,
Is this the love, that I've been searching for...
28. Take a Look at Yourself
29. Straight for the Heart
(Coverdale/Sykes)
I'm coming round to see you,
Kicking down your door
I've got to tell you girl
I really can't take no more
'Cos I've been hearing about you
Everybody says you're front page news
Laying it down, all around the town
Giving all the boys the blues
Stand and deliver in the name of love,
I'm coming after you,
I'll tell you want I'm gonna do
I'm going straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart
I'm gonna drive you insane
I never loved a woman
The way that I love you
I can't escape the feeling,
You don't know what you're putting me through
So stand and deliver in the name of love
My heart is in your hand,
So try to understand
Straight for the heart
I'm going straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart
I'm gonna drive you insane
You got the love I dream of
The kind that cost so much,
Just cover me with kisses, baby
Surrender to my touch
Stand and deliver in the name of love
My heart is in your hand,
So try to understand
I'm coming after you,
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm going straight for the heart
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart
I'm gonna drive you insane
Straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart,
I'm gonna drive you insane
Straight for the heart...
30. Now You're Gone (US remix)
(Coverdale/Vandenberg)
Now you're gone
I can feel my heart is breaking,
An' I can't go on
When I think of the love that you've taken
In the night I pray for your embrace,
Every time I close my eyes
I can't escape your face
You're out of sight,
But, always on my mind,
I never realised
My love could be so blind
You're all I want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine
Its on the line
You're all I need,
So maybe we could turn back
The hands of time,
Maybe we could give it another try
One more time
But, now you're gone
There's an emptiness closing around me,
An' I can't go on
When all I have left is the memory
In the night I call out your name,
I wake up in a cold sweat
An' I'm all alone again
I need your love
Much more than I can say,
I realise without you
I can't face another day
You're all I want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine
It's on the line
You're all that I need,
Since I lost you, girl,
I've been losing my mind
You're all that I want,
So maybe we could turn back
The hands of time,
Maybe we could give it
Another try
One more time,
Baby, just one more time
Now you're gone
I can feel my heart is breaking,
An I can't go on
When all of my love has been taken
You're all I want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine
It's on the line
You're all that I need,
Since I lost you, girl,
I've been losing my mind
You're all I want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine
It's on the Line
You're all that I need,
Since I lost you, girl,
I've been losing my mind...
31. Looking for Love
(Coverdale/Sykes)
I'm tired of waiting
An' closing my eyes
I'm asking myself
Why is it all my horizons
Are so far away
I look in the mirror
Don't like what I see
In my reflection
A stranger is staring at me
Looking for love
The love of a woman
The needs of a man
I try so hard to belive
But I don't understand
The search goes on
But over the mountains
Across the sea
I know love is waiting
I hear it calling to me
Calling my name
I'm looking for love all around me
Looking for love to surround me
The love that I need
To rescue the state of my heart
Alone again, It's always the same
I've just been marking my time
Since the day I was born
With no one to blame
The candle is burning
It's way down low
I just need someone
To show me the way to go
Which way to go.
I'm looking for love all around me
Looking for love to surround me
The love that I need
To rescue the state of my heart
I'm looking for love
An' finding only heartache
Looking for love
An' finding only heartache
I'm looking for love to rely on
Looking for love, a shoulder to cry on
I'm looking for love
To rescue the state of my heart...
32. Sailing Ships (live)
(Coverdale/Vandenberg)
Do you remember
Standing on the shore,
Head in the clouds,
Your pockets filled with dreams
Bound for glory
On the seven seas of life,
But, the ocean is deeper than it seems
The wind was with you
When you left on the morning tide,
You set your sail for an island in the sun,
On the horizon, dark clouds up ahead,
For the storm has just begun
Take me with you,
Take me far away,
Lead me to the distant shore
Sail your ship across the water,
Spread your wings across the sky
Take the time to see
You're the one who holds the key,
Or sailing ships will pass you by
You cry for mercy,
When you think you've lost your way,
You drift alone, if all your hope is gone
So find the strength and you will see
You control, your destiny,
After all is said and done
So take me with you,
Take me far away,
An' lead me to the distant shore
Sail your ship across the water,
Spread your wings across the sky
Take the time to see
You're the one who holds the key,
Or sailing ships will pass,
Sailing ships will pass you,
Sailing ships will pass you by...
Take me with you,
Take me far away,
We'll ride the wind across the sky
Spread your wings and you will see
You control, your destiny,
So sailing ships don't pass you by
So take me with you,
Take me far away,
We'll ride the wind across the sky
Spread your wings and you will see
You control, your destiny,
So sailing ships don't pass,
So sailing ships don't pass you,
So sailing ships don't pass you by...
Baby, baby, baby, baby,
You'll find that you're the only one
Can sail your ship across the sky
33. Soldier of Fortune (live)
(Blackmore/Coverdale)
I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be...
A soldier of fortune
Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thougt my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here
Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be...
A soldier of fortune
Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
34. Walking in the Shadow of the Blues (live)
(Coverdale/Marsden)
I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it you can never understand
So many times I thought about it
And now I know just what it means to be a man
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
All of my life I've had a strange reputation,
I've been the black sheep of the family all along
I never know if in my heart I'm really guilty
But, I've been accused of never knowing right from wrong
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
My father said you're crazy,
He said what you gonna do?
I left with my guitar and said
I'll leave it up to you
I'm gonna live the life I love
And live the life I choose,
And I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it I will tell you once again
All of my life I've been caught up in a crossfire,
'Cos I've been branded with the devil mark of cain
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues,
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
35. Ready an' Willing (live)
(Coverdale/Lord/Moody/Murray/Paice)
I wanna be loved,
Don't wanna be teased.
I don't want no woman
Getting down on her knees.
I'm ready an' willing
To reach for the sun,
So I can get me some loving
Before I'm gone.
I want more, more, more, more,
I want some more
Sweet satisfaction to soothe my soul.
I want you to rock me
All night long.
Rope an' ride me, baby,
Do me wrong.
Roll me over, make be bleed,
I'd dance with the devil
To get what I need.
I need more, more, more, more,
I need some more of that
Sweet satisfaction to soothe my soul.
I get this crazy feeling inside my soul,
And it's driving me insane.
I get this crazy feeling,
Can you feel it, baby,
It's driving me out of my mind.
I'm talking about sweet satisfaction,
I'm ready an' willing, sweet satisfaction.
I'm ready an' willing, sweet satisfaction.
Sweet satisfaction, sweet satisfaction.
I'm ready an' willing.
I get this crazy feeling inside my soul,
And it's driving me insane.
I get this crazy feeling,
Can you feel it, baby,
It's driving me out of my mind.
I keep on looking for
Sweet satisfaction, I'm ready an' willing.
Sweet satisfaction, I'm ready an' willing.
Sweet satisfaction, I keep on looking.
Sweet satisfaction, I keep on looking...
36. Slow an' Easy
(Coverdale/Moody)
You keep on pushing, babe,
Like I've never known before
You know you drive me crazy, child,
An' I just wanna see you on the floor
I wanna superstitious woman
An' she got a superstitious mind
I can't see you, baby,
I can't see you anymore, no more
You keep on loving me
Like I've never known before
I wanna superstitious woman
With a superstitious, a superstitious mind, an' I don't mind, baby
My heart is beating faster, babe,
It's beating like a big bass drum
You know you got me speeding, child,
Faster than a bullet from a gun
You're a superstitious woman
An' I got a superstitious mind, an' I don't care
So take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone
I don't care about, oh,
I don't care about love, no more
The way you keep abusing me
Oh, I can't take no more
I wanna woman
She got a superstitious mind
So take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned

Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone
Take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone...
37. Shake My Tree
(Coverdale/Page)
Now I don't want to be your slave,
You're trying to drive me to an early grave
All I ever hear, is that you live an' breathe for me
But, all you ever do, babe, is shake my tree
'Cos you keep on pushing, baby,
Like you never, ever been in love before.
I told you once an' I told you twice,
I ain't no schoolboy you can sacrifice
You want my love an' you want it now,
You try to love me, baby, but you don't know how
So you keep on pushing, baby,
Like you never, ever been in love before
I need love an' I need time,
An' a little bit of both, if you wanna be a friend of mine
I don't want no woman, drive me outta my head
An' you're the kind of girl, guaranteed to wreck my bed
Love is what you need,
But, you cut down to the bone an' make me bleed
I give you everything an' still you cry
Ooh, mama, the price of loving you is way too high
But, you keep on talking, baby, I've heard it all before
Now I don't want you hanging around, or kicking at my door
But, you keep on pushing, mama,
Like you never, ever been in love before
I know love an' I know shame
An' I ain't gonna get caught up in your game
It took a little time to make me see,
I ain't lookin' for a woman like you to shake my tree
So keep on talking, baby, keep on hangin' around
Everything you do to me, is sure to drag me down
An' you keep on pushing, mama,
Like you never, ever been in love before
Shake my tree
I don't want to be your slave,
You're trying to drive me to an early grave
You keep on talking, no matter what you say
I've had enough of your kind of love, to last me all my days
So keep on pushing baby, I've heard it all before
I don't want you hanging around, or kicking at my door
Now I don't want your loving, baby, I can't take it anymore,
I don't want you hanging around, kicking at my door
If I see your face again, I'll give you what's in store
But, you'll keep on pushing, baby,
'Cos you've never, ever been in love before
38. Guilty of Love
(Coverdale)
I believe my love for you
Is a love that will last forever,
An' I'm here to testify
I'm a prisoner of your heart
Baby don't you believe
When I tell you I love you
That I really mean it,
Don't you walk away,
Don't you turn your back on me
I'm guilty of love,
It's a crime of passion
Guilty of love,
An' there's no doubt about it,
No doubt about it
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree
I can never forget the times
When I took what you gave me for granted
So I stand accused
An' I plead guilty to the crime
You can lock me away if you want
Just as long as your arms are around me,
An' I won't mind
If you just throw away the key
I'm guilty of love,
It's a crime of passion
Guilty of love,
An' there's no doubt about it,
No doubt about it
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree
Guilty of love...
I'm guilty of love,
It's a crime of passion
Guilty of love,
An' there's no doubt about it,
No doubt about it
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree...
39. The Deeper the Love
(Coverdale/Vandenberg)
When I look back
On everything I've done
I know you must have cried
A river of tears,
But, you were there
When I was feeling low
To walk me through my darkest fears
So when the sun goes down
An' those nights grow colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder
An' the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An' the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion
There were times
I almost let you go
When I thought I needed to break free,
But you were there
To whisper in my ear
Why don't you share your dreams with me.
So when the sun goes down
An those nights are growing colder
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder.
An' the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An' the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion
I don't mind, what you're doing to me,
I don't mind, 'cause you're all I can see
I don't mind, baby, you mean the world to me
When the sun goes down
An' those nights are growing colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder, baby, baby, baby.
So When the sun goes down
An' those nights are growing colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder.
'Cause the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An' the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion...
I never gonna let you go,
In my heart, I know.
I really love you, I love you.
Oh baby, I really love you...
40. Blindman
(Coverdale)
I was dreaming of the past,
Why do good times never last
Help me Jesus, show the way
I can't hold on another day
I was hungry, feeling low,
I just couldn't make out which way to go
Chasing rainbows that have no end,
The road is long without friend
Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul
Just a young man looking homeward,
Watching the sun go down again
Across the water, the sun is shining,
But, will it ever, will it ever be the same
Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul
I need somebody, I need someone,
I need somebody to call my own
Like a blindman, I can feel the heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know where it's coming from
Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul
I need somebody, I need someone,
I need somebody to call my own
Like a blindman, I can feel the heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know where is coming from
41. Love to Keep You Warm
If you want love,
You gotta be cool
And if you deny it,
Then baby you're a fool.
I'm telling you now,
Don't you hide it away.
Because you need to keep you warm both night and day.
I could come home
Late at night
And after some loving,
Baby, it would be alright.
I've given up trying
Lying my way.
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day.
I said baby, if you need my love
You better come home with me.
Maybe if you want my love,
You know you got it easily.
But, when the sun goes down
And the night is cold,
You know I won't be far away.
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day.
You gotta have love.
(Solo)
If you want schooling baby
I'll be around,
I'm ready for fooling
But, don't hang around.
And every morning I know I will say.
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day.
I said baby, if you need my love
You better come home with me.
Maybe if you want my love,
You know you got it easily.
But, when the sun goes down
And the night is cold,
You know I won't be far away.
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day,
I said you need love to keep you warm both night and day.
42. Love Is Blind
43. Ain't Gonna Cry No More
(Coverdale/Moody)
Rising with the morning sun
I turn to greet the dawn,
Knowing I must face another day
Sleepless night behind me,
Just a memory of pain,
My heart has always been a cross to bear
Lord I know the sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
All around me, shadows fall,
Tho' day has just begun,
I realise I'm on my own again
Memories of broken dreams,
As distant as the sun,
Are drifting like an echo in the wind
Lord, I know the sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try, hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
Babe, I thought about it,
But, it just ain't done good,
You hold my heart and soul within your hand
All the time, you're in my mind,
I never thought you could be so blind,
Maybe someday I will understand
Lord, I know the sun shine,
But I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today, no more
Hey, mama you drive me crazy,
Knowing you're my hearts desire,
Why'd you go and hang me up this way
You've given me love, given me love,
Now tell me what you were thinking of,
Why'd you go and steal my soul away
Lord I know the sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
I ain't gonna cry no more...
Lord I know the sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
Ain't gonna cry no more
Hey, I ain't gonna cry no more today...
44. Slave
45. Lonely Days, Lonely Nights
(Coverdale)
I've been burning my bridges
For too many years,
Drowning the sorrow
Of too many tears
Women and whiskey
Are my only friends,
One gives me strength,
One just pretends
I've been waiting my whole life
For things to work out right,
But, those lonely days turn into lonely nights
Yes, It do
I've heard all the wisdom
Of prophets and seers,
It don't soothe my passion
And it don't ease my fears
Burned by love
And blinded by snow,
Bad luck and trouble
Are with me wherever I go
I've been waiting my whole life
For things to work out right,
But those lonely days turn into lonely nights
Lonely days, lonely nights,
Lonely days, lonely nights
Lonely days, lonely nights,
Someday babe, it's gonna be alright
Lonely days, lonely nights,
Someday babe, it's gonna be alright for me, for me
Lonely days, lonely nights,
Someday babe, it's gonna be alright...
46. Give Me All Your Love
(Coverdale/Sykes)
When I first saw you baby
You took my breath away,
I knew your name was Trouble
But, my heart got in the way
I couldn't stop myself from reaching out,
I could not turn away
I don't even know your name
An' I can't leave you alone,
I'm running round in circles
Like a dog without a bone
I know the game you're playing
But, baby I just can't let go
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want
Just give me all of your loving tonight
I'll work hard everyday
To love and treat you right.
I'll rock you in the morning
And roll you in the night.
Any way you want
I'm gonna prove my love for you.
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight, tonight, tonight...
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight
I am blinded by your smile
And I'm crazy about your walk
I shiver and I shake
When I hear you baby talk
I'm a fool for your loving babe,
Give me all your loving tonight...
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight
Anything you want from me...
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight, tonight, tonight...
47. Till the Day I Die
(Coverdale)
When ice cold winds of winter
Chill me to the bone,
An' thoughts of summer breezes
Turn my heart to stone
That's when I need a hand to guide me,
When it's more than I can bear
A shoulder I can cry on,
Someone to lead me there
An' give me love,
Give me love,
Give me love
Till the day I die,
Till the day I die
Slowly I awaken
To the Weavers plan for me,
To drift upon the waters
Of my own uncertainty,
To look for a companion
Who will share my destiny,
A guiding hand to understand
An' walk to road with me
An' give me love,
Give me love,
Give me love
Till the day I die,
Till the day I die
I wanna be the master of my destiny,
I never wanna crawl an' beg for no sympathy,
When everything I have is yours,
An' all I ask of you
Is give me love.
Give me love,
Give me love
Till the day I die,
Till the day I die
I never wanna be the first
To show I'm down,
But, I'm never gonna wear the frozen smile of a clown
When everything I have is yours
And all I ask of you
Is give me love
Give me love,
Give me love
Till the day I die,
Till the day I die
Give me love,
Give me love,
Give me love.
Till the day I die
Give me love,
Give me love,
Give me love.
Till the day I die
Till the day I die...
48. Here I Go Again 87
No, I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
here i go again, here i go again
Tho' I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
49. Still Of The Night
In the Still of the Night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the Still of the Night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more
In the shadow of night
I see the full moon rise
Telling me what's in store,
My heart starts aching
My body started shaking
And I can't take no more, no, no
Now I just wanna get close to you
And taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat...
In the Still of the Night...
In the Still of the Night...
Over here baby...
In the heat of the day
I hang my head down low
And hide my face from the sun
Through the light of the day
Until the evening time
I'm waiting for the night to come, ooh, baby
In the Still of the Night,
In the cool moonlight,
I feel my heart is aching
In the Still of the Night...
Oooh Baby, Oooh baby
Solo
In the Still of the Night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door...
In the Still of the Night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more...
Oooh, mama
Now I just wanna get close to you
And taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat.
In the Still of the Night...
In the Still of the Night...
In the Still of the Night...
In the Still of the Night...
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night...
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night...
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night...
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night...
50. If You Want Me
51. Best Years
Somebody help me
I'm feeling low
I've been down so long
don't know which way to go
drowning in sorrow
in deep misery
someone throw me a line
I'm clean out of time
Lord I've got to break free
You came along like a sun in the night
took me out of the shadows
into the light!
Caught in a crossfire
of heartache and pain
searching so many years
thro' a river of tears
always shot down in flames
You came along like a sun in the night
took me out of the shadows
into the light!
Now these are the best years
truly the best years of my life
the best years of my life
Bad luck and trouble
everyday of my life
every lonely lonely night
like a cold hearted twist of the knife
You came along like a sun in the night
took me out of the shadows
into the light!
Now these are the best years
truly the best years of my life
the best years of my life
Somebody help me
I'm feeling low
I've been down so long
babe I've got to let go
You came along like a sun in the night
took me out of the shadows
into the light!
Now these are the best years
truly the best years of my life
the best years of my life
52. We Wish You Well
I'm sad to say it's time to go
Until we meet again along the road
Remember this on your journey home,
When you hear the thunder roar you're not alone
We wish you well, we wish you well,
In times of trouble may your hearts be strong
We wish you well, we wish you well,
Until we meet again,
We wish you well...

1. Walking in the Shadow of the Blues
(Coverdale/Marsden)
I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it you can never understand
So many times I thought about it
And now I know just what it means to be a man
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
All of my life I've had a strange reputation,
I've been the black sheep of the family all along
I never know if in my heart I'm really guilty
But, I've been accused of never knowing right from wrong
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
My father said you're crazy,
He said what you gonna do?
I left with my guitar and said
I'll leave it up to you
I'm gonna live the life I love
And live the life I choose,
And I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it I will tell you once again
All of my life I've been caught up in a crossfire,
'Cos I've been branded with the devil mark of cain
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues,
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
2. Sweet Talker
(Coverdale/Marsden)
I can tell by way you walk,
You give it all away
By the sweet way that you talk, yes you do
You got long legs, a black girl sway,
The way you shake your booty
Gives your schoolgirl game away, yes it does
You're just a sweet talker, bad daughter,
An' you've just begun
The bitch is in heat,
So you better run
I know you know
You got what it takes,
You got the fever,
But, you give me the shakes, yes you do
Straight out of Lolita
With nothing to lose,
When I got your number
My juke box blew a fuse, yes it did
You're just sweet talker, bad daughter,
An' you've just begun
The bitch is in heat,
So you better run, you better run,
So you better run, you better run
Or you better hide
Sweet talker, bad daughter,
You've just begun
The bitch is in heat
So you better run, you better run,
You better run, you better run,
Or you better hide
I can tell by way you walk,
You give it all away
By the sweet way that you talk, yes you do
You got long legs, a black girl sway,
The way you shake your booty
Gives your schoolgirl game away, yes it does
You're just a sweet talker, bad daughter,
An' you've just begun
Sweet talker, bad daughter,
An' you've just begun
The bitch is in heat,
So you better run
3. Would I Lie to You
(Coverdale/Marsden/Moody)
Hey girl, if you want me,
Come an' get me
Don't hang around
Or we could spend the night sleeping alone
If you could change your style, for a while,
An' look in my direction,
Tell me do I look the kind of guy
Who takes advantage of a women like you
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to you
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
Baby, I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to, would I lie to, would I lie to you
Hey girl, if you need
Some love an' affection,
I'll whisper all the sweet, sweet nothings
I know you little girls like to hear
If you would change your mind
We could find a night of satin sheet action,
I promise I won't do anything
Baby, unless you wanted me to
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to you
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to, would I lie to, should I lie to you
I don't wanna sleep alone tonight,
After all you put me through.
I've spent the whole night searching
For a woman just like you.
Look in my eyes ... tell you lies
Then, baby, it's just because I want you to stay
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to you.
Would I lie to you, would I lie to you
Baby, I would do anything that you want me too,
But, would I lie to, would I lie to, would I lie to you...
4. Trouble
I was raised a gambler's son
And before I could walk,
I had to learn how to run.
And I never, never ever
Played a loaded dice.
But, I rolled a lot of women
With a heart as cold as ice.
On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Always coming my way,
Trouble always coming my way.
Baby I'm lonely, I'm out of control,
I need someone to understand
The badness in my soul.
Though I never, I never
Stole another man's wife
But, I fooled around plenty enough
And I got what I paid for.
On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Trouble always coming my way.
Trouble.
(Solo)
On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Trouble always coming my way.
Trouble always coming my way, trouble always coming...
5. Gambler
(Coverdale/Galley)
I've been a gypsy
For a thousand years
A victim of circumstance
I go wherever my destiny calls
I'm caught in a game of chance
I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside
No fame or fortune,
No luck of the draw
When I dance with Queen of Hearts
A jack of all trades
But, a loser in love
It's tearing my soul apart
Still I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in
I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in
The jack of diamonds
An' the ace of spades
Try to use me, and to abuse me
It seems the dealer
Wont give me a chance
I'm victim of circumstance
So I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in
So I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside
I stand on the outside
Looking in...
6. Love Hunter
(Coverdale/Moody/Marsden)
I need a woman to treat me good
And give me everything a good woman should
Everyday and every night
She'd be waiting on her brown-eyed boy
To come and treat her right
I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you,
I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you
I'm gonna give you all my loving
And use my tail on you
In my time I've been a back door man,
I've taken everything I could
But, I've given all I can
I don't want no woman
To weep or moan,
I'm looking for a sweet heartbreaker
And I'm never gonna leave her alone
I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you,
I'm a love hunter baby
What you gonna do?
I'm gonna give you all my loving
And use my tail on you
I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you,
I'm a love hunter baby
What you gonna do?
I'm gonna give you all my loving
And use my tail on you
'Cos I'm a love hunter baby,
I'm a love hunter baby...
I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you
I'm sneaking up on you!
7. Ready an' Willing
(Coverdale/Lord/Moody/Murray/Paice)
I wanna be loved,
Don't wanna be teased.
I don't want no woman
Getting down on her knees.
I'm ready an' willing
To reach for the sun,
So I can get me some loving
Before I'm gone.
I want more, more, more, more,
I want some more
Sweet satisfaction to soothe my soul.
I want you to rock me
All night long.
Rope an' ride me, baby,
Do me wrong.
Roll me over, make be bleed,
I'd dance with the devil
To get what I need.
I need more, more, more, more,
I need some more of that
Sweet satisfaction to soothe my soul.
I get this crazy feeling inside my soul,
And it's driving me insane.
I get this crazy feeling,
Can you feel it, baby,
It's driving me out of my mind.
I'm talking about sweet satisfaction,
I'm ready an' willing, sweet satisfaction.
I'm ready an' willing, sweet satisfaction.
Sweet satisfaction, sweet satisfaction.
I'm ready an' willing.
I get this crazy feeling inside my soul,
And it's driving me insane.
I get this crazy feeling,
Can you feel it, baby,
It's driving me out of my mind.
I keep on looking for
Sweet satisfaction, I'm ready an' willing.
Sweet satisfaction, I'm ready an' willing.
Sweet satisfaction, I keep on looking.
Sweet satisfaction, I keep on looking...
8. Child of Babylon
(Coverdale/Marsden)
When I heard the sound of thunder
On the day that I was born,
I was blinded by the lighting
An' baptised in the storm
My father started crying
When he saw what he had done,
But, my mother started praying
Have mercy on my son,
He is a child of Babylon
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
I am a child,
A child of Babylon
When I've fooled around so many times
When I've known it ain't been right,
But, I paint it all in colours
When it really should be black and white
I sail my ship through muddy waters,
Try to open every door,
When I saw the seven wonders
It left me wanting more
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run
I am a child,
A child of Babylon
On my day of judgement
I know how it will be,
I'm prepared to meet my maker
With no hope for charity
I'll stand alone and pay the price
For everything I've done,
'Cos there ain't guardian angel
For a child of Babylon
I am a child,
A child of Babylon
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run
I am a child,
A child of Babylon
Child of Babylon
9. Here I Go Again
No, I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
here i go again, here i go again
Tho' I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
10. Carry Your Load
(Coverdale)
I take what I want,
And I got my eye on you
It's late in the evening
What are you gonna do
I got the place,
If you got the time,
I got the motion, baby,
If you got the mind
So wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache
So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road
Carry your load, down the long, winding road
All I'm asking, all I wanna do is just
Put a little love in your heart,
Put a little love in your heart
I know what I want,
And it's close to the bone
Sooner or later, baby,
I'll be taking you home
You got the cool,
But, you give me the heat
You got the music, baby,
But, you give me the beat
So wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache
So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road
Carry your love,
Down the long, winding road
All I'm asking, all I wanna do is just
Put a little love in your heart
Wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache
So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road
Carry your love
Down the long, winding road
You got to carry your load
Down the long, winding road
11. Crying in the Rain
A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy
With the thoughts of retribution
But, a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life
I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind,
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But, a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry
The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
Crying in the rain...
I can never deny
All the sweet things I have tasted
Tho' I've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more,
I know where I'm going
There's no hope of absolution
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad
The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain
The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache,
No one feels the pain,
'Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain,
When you're crying in the rain
Crying in the rain...
12. Rough an' Ready
(Coverdale/Moody)
I take what I want
An' I steal anything that I need,
I would do anything
To get my satisfaction guaranteed
'Cos I'm looking for love,
The time has come
I'm looking for love,
An' I mean to get me some
I'm looking for love right now,
An' I'm rough an' ready
All of you woman better
Lift up your skirts an' run,
'Cos I aim to shoot my pistol
An' fire like a Gatlin gun
'Cos I'm looking for love,
Believe me when I say
I'm looking for love,
In the worst kind of way
I'm looking for love right now
An' I'm rough an' ready
Rough an' ready...
Rough an' ready...
I take what I want
An' I steal anything that I need,
I would do anything
To get my satisfaction guaranteed
'Cos I'm looking for love,
The time has come
I'm looking for love,
An' I mean to get me some
I'm looking for love right now,
An' I'm rough an' ready
Rough an' ready...
13. Wine, Women an' Song
(Coverdale/Lord/Marsden/Moody/Murray/Paice)
I ain't an educated man
As all you Fleet Street preachers know,
It's just the simple things in life
Get my motor running, ready to go
If I can make you smile
I will raise my glass,
An' if you don't like it
Then, baby, you can kiss my ass!
You can tell me it's wrong,
But, I love wine, women an' song
Give me a good time woman,
An' a love potion bottle of booze
'Cos I got a juke box heart
Full of honky tonk rhythm an' blues
You better lock up your daughter, your sister too,
If get in my way, I'm gonna rock an' roll over you,
Ain't nothing you can do
You can tell it's wrong,
But I love wine, women an' song
Wine, women an' song, talking 'bout
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song
You get what you can
But, don't take too long
Wine, women an' song,
Give me a rock an' roll band
With a mean an' dirty blues guitar,
Take me to a dance hall palace
With a twenty four hour bar
Then you better lock up your daughter, your sister too,
If you get in my way, I'm gonna rock an' roll over you,
Ain't nothing you can do
You can tell me it's wrong,
But I love wine, women an' song
Wine, women an' song, talking 'bout
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song
You get what you can
But, don't take too long,
Wine, women an' song
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song,
Wine, women an' song
You get what you can
But, don't take too long,
Wine, women an' song
Wine, women an' song
14. Lie Down..I Think I Love You
You got the smile of a Monalisa,
Know it all an' giving nothing away.
You make the sins of a vestal virgin,
Look nothing more that a roll in the hay.
So lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
You give an air of the Dolce Vita,
Society's made a queen out of you.
Casanova couldn't take all your virtue,
But, rock 'n' roll is gonna steal it from you.
So lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Come on, girl, it'll be alright,
Easy does it nice and slow.
Woah, you know, mama, that tonight's the night,
Come on and let your feelings show.
Take a look in the mirror,
Tell me what you see.
If it ain't sweet surrender
You can blame it on somebody, not the devil in me.
So lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
(Solo)
Take a look in the mirror,
Tell me what you see.
If it ain't sweet surrender
You can blame it on somebody, not the devil in me.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care...
15. Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City (live)
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
Baby, since you been around.
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity, child
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
Every place that I go,
Well, it seems so strange.
Without you love, baby, baby,
Things have changed.
Now that you're gone
Y'know the sun don't shine,
From the city hall
To the county line, that's why
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

16. Fool for Your Loving (live)
(Coverdale/Marsden/Moody)
I was born under a bad sign,
Left out in the cold
I'm a lonely man who knows
Just what it means to lose control
But, I took all the heartache
And turned it to shame,
Now I'm moving, moving on,
And I ain't taking the blame
Don't come running to me,
I know I've done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
Just makes a hard loving man
So I can say it to you, babe
I'll be a fool for your loving no more,
A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying,
Fool for your loving no more
I'll be a fool for your loving no more
I'm tired of hiding my feelings,
You left me lonely too long
I gave my heart, and you tore it apart,
Oh, baby, you done me wrong
Don't come running to me,
I know I've done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
Just makes a hard loving man
So I can say it to you, babe
I'll be a fool for your loving no more,
A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying,

A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying, I always end up crying,
Fool for your loving no more
A fool for your loving no more
Fool for your loving no more...
17. Take Me with You (live)
Every time I see my baby home,
I wanna kiss a little better so I get stoned.
Gonna spread her pretty legs so I can see,
Sweet lip honey be the death of me
And you will discover I'll be your midnight lover,
Oh babe, bring it on home to me.
Sometimes when I'm feeling low,
I go looking for a lover where the bad girls go.
Sorry little girl, If you can't stay,
Your red light mama gonna show the way.
And then a certain madness,
Will 'crease my heart with sadness
Oh babe, bring it on home to me.
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs,
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs.
I know love and what it means,
It's a skinny little girl in tight ass jeans.
I love to hear'em moan and cry,
'Cos God made men to satisfy.
And with the fire returning,
I feel the fever burning
Oh babe, bring it on home to me.
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs,
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs.
Oh, take me with you.
(Solo)
Every time I see my baby home,

19. Don't Break My Heart Again
(Coverdale)
I'm gonna take it to the limit of my love,
Before I turn and walk away
I've had enough of holding on
The promises of yesterday
Every day of my life, it seems,
Trouble's knocking at my door,
It's hard to try and satisfy
When you don't know what you're fighting for
Time and again I sing your song,
But, I've been runnin' on empty far too long
I've had enough holdin' on to the past,
Make no mistake, it could be your last
Don't break my heart again, like you did before
Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore
I never hide the feeling inside,
And though I'm standing my back to the wall,
I know that even in a summer love
A little bit of rain must fall
But, every road I take I know
Where it's gonna lead me to,
Because I've travelled every highway
And they all keep coming back to you
Time and again I sing your song,
But, I've been runnin' on empty far too long
I've had enough holdin' on to the past,
Make no mistake, it could be your last
Don't break my heart again, like you did before
Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore
Don't break my heart
Don't break my heart again, like you did before
Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore
20. Hit an' Run
(Coverdale/Marsden/Moody)
I've never had a home sweet home life
An' I don't want a nine to five,
So many women I know
Think they can tie me down,
But, I will never let them take me alive
I hit an' run, hit an' run, hit an' run, hit an' run, hit an' run.
Now some women say they don't want nothing,
But a sweet talkin' bull of a man,
I've heard it before, I can't hear it no more
'Cos they all take whatever they can,
But, still I want a heartbreaker,
A love maker, a soul shaker,
A women who can turn me on,
For a just little hit an' run, hit an' run
She can be a love stealer,
A double dealer, a free wheeler
As long as she can turn me on
For just a little hit an' run,
A little bit of hit an' run
You can keep your lock and key
No ball and chain can harness me.
Take me home tonight,
Love and treat me right
But, in the morning you'll find me gone,
I hit an' run.
Hit an' run...
21. The Time Is Right for Love
When I saw you in the Garden
Sweet lilac in your hair,
The sunlight seemed to surround you
And bless the morning air.
I wondered what your name was
And if you would dance with me,
I heard you cry for mercy
But, my eyes they could not see.
'Cos the time is right for love,
The time is right for love,
You can pray to the Lord above
But, the time is right for love.
So much for all your sweet words,
All that you said you would do.
Remember all my love songs,
They were promises to you.
But, I don't hold it against you,
I know you're not to blame
So draw your circle around me
And we'll put all your lovers to shame.
'Cos the time is right for love,
The time is right for love,
You can pray to the Lord above
But, the time is right for love.
(Solo)
'Cos the time is right for love,
The time is right for love,
You can pray to the Lord above
But, the time is right for love...
22. Love Ain't No Stranger
(Coverdale/Galley)
Who knows where the cold wind blows,
I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
Who am I to believe in love,
Oh, love ain't no stranger
I looked around an' what did I see
Broken hearted people staring at me,
All searching 'cos they still believe,
Oh, love ain't no stranger
I was alone an' I needed love
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
I heard no warning, but, a heart can tell
I'd feel the emptiness of love I know so well
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love, no, no, no
Can't hold the passion of a soul in need,
I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed
I know good loving an' I'm a friend of pain,
But, when I read between the lines it's all the same
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love
So who knows where the cold wind blows,
I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
Who am I to believe in love,
Lord, have mercy,
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
I was alone an' I needed love
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
Can't hold the passion of a soul in need,
I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love
Love ain't no stranger,
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger...
23. Too Many Tears
(Coverdale/Vandenberg)
I used to be the man for you,
Did everything you wanted me to,
So, tell me, baby,
What did I do wrong...
I told you what you wanted to know,
Precious secrets never spoken before.
All I'm asking,
Where did I go wrong...
Some things are better left unsaid,
But, all I do is cry instead,
Now, I've cried me a river,
Thinking how it used to be...
There've been too many tears falling,
And there've been too many hearts
Breaking in two.
Remember what we had together,
Believing it would last forever.
So, tell me, baby,
Where did I go wrong...
Everything I had was yours,
More than I have ever given before,
So, won't you tell me
Did I hurt you so bad...
I guess I'm fooling myself,
'Cause I want you and no one else.
And I can't understand
Why you're doing these things to me...
There've been too many tears falling,
And there've been too many hearts
Breaking in two...
Remember what we had together,
Believing it would last forever.
So, tell me, baby,
Where did I go wrong, where did I go wrong...
Now my heart is breaking,
My whole world is shaking,
'Cause I can't understand
Why you're doing these things to me...
There've been too many tears falling,
And there've been too many hearts
Breaking in two...
Remember what we had together,
Believing it would last forever...
So, tell me, baby,
Where did I go wrong...
24. Pride and Joy
25. Victim of Love
(Coverdale)
I'm down on love
An' I don't give a damn,
I take my chances
Whenever I can
Like a lamb to the slaughter,
Another sacrifice,
For giving love to woman
With a heart stone cold as ice
I'm down on love
An' I'm clean out of pain,
I ain't no stranger
To the crying game
Too scared to suffer,
An' too blind to see,
But, I played with fire
An' I got what was coming to me
Now, one more heartache
Don't bother me,
Just one more lonely night
To drown in misery
I am a victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love
Victim of love, victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love
I'm down on love
An' I feel like a fool
To beg for mercy
'Cos I broke the rules
So do me no favours
With your cool advice,
I know the losing cost,
An' I'll pay the price
One more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery
I am a victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love
Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love
One more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery
Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love...
26. Judgement Day
(Coverdale/Vandenberg)
The night is gone,
The time has come
To find a new day has begun,
An' it promises to stay
To soothe the pain of wasted years
An' kiss away the bitter tears
A love to light the way
And from the darkness
Comes a smile,
That reaches out for many miles,
Touching everyone.
No more shadows of the past,
Your spirit free to fly at last,
Shining in the sun
Like the rolling thunder,
I feel the power of love,
It's a gift from heaven
And the Lord above
We walk toward desire,
Hand and hand
Through fields of fire
With only love to light the way
On the road to Judgement Day
Take it easy, take it slow,
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go,
Places never seen before
'Cause I love you, an' I need you,
I'll do my best to please you,
My love can open any door
When you hear the thunder
In your darkest night,
I'll be there to hold you
When the lightning strikes
So don't you worry,
You can ease your mind
'Cause we'll still be dancing
At the end of time
Who loves you, who needs you,
Who'll do his best to please you,
I love you, I need you
I'll get down on my knees
We walk toward desire,
Hand and hand
Through fields of fire
With only love to light the way
On the road to Judgement Day
So don't you worry, baby
On the road to Judgement Day
Who loves you, who needs you
On the road to Judgement Day
So I love you, and I need you
My love can open any door
My love can open any door...
27. Is This Love
(Coverdale/Sykes)
I should have known better
Than to let you go alone,
It's times like these
I can't make it on my own
Wasted days, and sleepless nights
And I can't wait to see you again
I find I spend my time
Waiting on your call,
How can I tell you, baby
My back's against the wall
I need you by my side
To tell me it's alright,
'Cos I don't think I can take anymore
Is this love that I'm feeling,
Is this the love, that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming,
This must be love,
'Cos it's really got a hold on me,
A hold on me...
I can't stop the feeling
I've been this way before
But, with you I've found the key
To open any door
I can feel my love for you
Growing stronger day by day,
An' I can't wait to see you again
So I can hold you in my arms
Is this love that I'm feeling,
Is this the love, that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming,
This must be love,
'Cos it's really got a hold on me,
A hold on me...
Is this love that I'm feeling,
Is this the love, that I've been searching for...
Is this love or am I dreaming,
Is this the love, that I've been searching for...
28. Take a Look at Yourself
29. Straight for the Heart
(Coverdale/Sykes)
I'm coming round to see you,
Kicking down your door
I've got to tell you girl
I really can't take no more
'Cos I've been hearing about you
Everybody says you're front page news
Laying it down, all around the town
Giving all the boys the blues
Stand and deliver in the name of love,
I'm coming after you,
I'll tell you want I'm gonna do
I'm going straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart
I'm gonna drive you insane
I never loved a woman
The way that I love you
I can't escape the feeling,
You don't know what you're putting me through
So stand and deliver in the name of love
My heart is in your hand,
So try to understand
Straight for the heart
I'm going straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart
I'm gonna drive you insane
You got the love I dream of
The kind that cost so much,
Just cover me with kisses, baby
Surrender to my touch
Stand and deliver in the name of love
My heart is in your hand,
So try to understand
I'm coming after you,
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm going straight for the heart
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart
I'm gonna drive you insane
Straight for the heart,
Gonna drive you crazy
Going straight for the heart,
I'm gonna drive you insane
Straight for the heart...
30. Now You're Gone (US remix)
(Coverdale/Vandenberg)
Now you're gone
I can feel my heart is breaking,
An' I can't go on
When I think of the love that you've taken
In the night I pray for your embrace,
Every time I close my eyes
I can't escape your face
You're out of sight,
But, always on my mind,
I never realised
My love could be so blind
You're all I want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine
Its on the line
You're all I need,
So maybe we could turn back
The hands of time,
Maybe we could give it another try
One more time
But, now you're gone
There's an emptiness closing around me,
An' I can't go on
When all I have left is the memory
In the night I call out your name,
I wake up in a cold sweat
An' I'm all alone again
I need your love
Much more than I can say,
I realise without you
I can't face another day
You're all I want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine
It's on the line
You're all that I need,
Since I lost you, girl,
I've been losing my mind
You're all that I want,
So maybe we could turn back
The hands of time,
Maybe we could give it
Another try
One more time,
Baby, just one more time
Now you're gone
I can feel my heart is breaking,
An I can't go on
When all of my love has been taken
You're all I want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine
It's on the line
You're all that I need,
Since I lost you, girl,
I've been losing my mind
You're all I want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine
It's on the Line
You're all that I need,
Since I lost you, girl,
I've been losing my mind...
31. Looking for Love
(Coverdale/Sykes)
I'm tired of waiting
An' closing my eyes
I'm asking myself
Why is it all my horizons
Are so far away
I look in the mirror
Don't like what I see
In my reflection
A stranger is staring at me
Looking for love
The love of a woman
The needs of a man
I try so hard to belive
But I don't understand
The search goes on
But over the mountains
Across the sea
I know love is waiting
I hear it calling to me
Calling my name
I'm looking for love all around me
Looking for love to surround me
The love that I need
To rescue the state of my heart
Alone again, It's always the same
I've just been marking my time
Since the day I was born
With no one to blame
The candle is burning
It's way down low
I just need someone
To show me the way to go
Which way to go.
I'm looking for love all around me
Looking for love to surround me
The love that I need
To rescue the state of my heart
I'm looking for love
An' finding only heartache
Looking for love
An' finding only heartache
I'm looking for love to rely on
Looking for love, a shoulder to cry on
I'm looking for love
To rescue the state of my heart...
32. Sailing Ships (live)
(Coverdale/Vandenberg)
Do you remember
Standing on the shore,
Head in the clouds,
Your pockets filled with dreams
Bound for glory
On the seven seas of life,
But, the ocean is deeper than it seems
The wind was with you
When you left on the morning tide,
You set your sail for an island in the sun,
On the horizon, dark clouds up ahead,
For the storm has just begun
Take me with you,
Take me far away,
Lead me to the distant shore
Sail your ship across the water,
Spread your wings across the sky
Take the time to see
You're the one who holds the key,
Or sailing ships will pass you by
You cry for mercy,
When you think you've lost your way,
You drift alone, if all your hope is gone
So find the strength and you will see
You control, your destiny,
After all is said and done
So take me with you,
Take me far away,
An' lead me to the distant shore
Sail your ship across the water,
Spread your wings across the sky
Take the time to see
You're the one who holds the key,
Or sailing ships will pass,
Sailing ships will pass you,
Sailing ships will pass you by...
Take me with you,
Take me far away,
We'll ride the wind across the sky
Spread your wings and you will see
You control, your destiny,
So sailing ships don't pass you by
So take me with you,
Take me far away,
We'll ride the wind across the sky
Spread your wings and you will see
You control, your destiny,
So sailing ships don't pass,
So sailing ships don't pass you,
So sailing ships don't pass you by...
Baby, baby, baby, baby,
You'll find that you're the only one
Can sail your ship across the sky
33. Soldier of Fortune (live)
(Blackmore/Coverdale)
I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be...
A soldier of fortune
Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thougt my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here
Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be...
A soldier of fortune
Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
34. Walking in the Shadow of the Blues (live)
(Coverdale/Marsden)
I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it you can never understand
So many times I thought about it
And now I know just what it means to be a man
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
All of my life I've had a strange reputation,
I've been the black sheep of the family all along
I never know if in my heart I'm really guilty
But, I've been accused of never knowing right from wrong
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
My father said you're crazy,
He said what you gonna do?
I left with my guitar and said
I'll leave it up to you
I'm gonna live the life I love
And live the life I choose,
And I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it I will tell you once again
All of my life I've been caught up in a crossfire,
'Cos I've been branded with the devil mark of cain
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues,
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues
35. Ready an' Willing (live)
(Coverdale/Lord/Moody/Murray/Paice)
I wanna be loved,
Don't wanna be teased.
I don't want no woman
Getting down on her knees.
I'm ready an' willing
To reach for the sun,
So I can get me some loving
Before I'm gone.
I want more, more, more, more,
I want some more
Sweet satisfaction to soothe my soul.
I want you to rock me
All night long.
Rope an' ride me, baby,
Do me wrong.
Roll me over, make be bleed,
I'd dance with the devil
To get what I need.
I need more, more, more, more,
I need some more of that
Sweet satisfaction to soothe my soul.
I get this crazy feeling inside my soul,
And it's driving me insane.
I get this crazy feeling,
Can you feel it, baby,
It's driving me out of my mind.
I'm talking about sweet satisfaction,
I'm ready an' willing, sweet satisfaction.
I'm ready an' willing, sweet satisfaction.
Sweet satisfaction, sweet satisfaction.
I'm ready an' willing.
I get this crazy feeling inside my soul,
And it's driving me insane.
I get this crazy feeling,
Can you feel it, baby,
It's driving me out of my mind.
I keep on looking for
Sweet satisfaction, I'm ready an' willing.
Sweet satisfaction, I'm ready an' willing.
Sweet satisfaction, I keep on looking.
Sweet satisfaction, I keep on looking...
36. Slow an' Easy
(Coverdale/Moody)
You keep on pushing, babe,
Like I've never known before
You know you drive me crazy, child,
An' I just wanna see you on the floor
I wanna superstitious woman
An' she got a superstitious mind
I can't see you, baby,
I can't see you anymore, no more
You keep on loving me
Like I've never known before
I wanna superstitious woman
With a superstitious, a superstitious mind, an' I don't mind, baby
My heart is beating faster, babe,
It's beating like a big bass drum
You know you got me speeding, child,
Faster than a bullet from a gun
You're a superstitious woman
An' I got a superstitious mind, an' I don't care
So take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone
I don't care about, oh,
I don't care about love, no more
The way you keep abusing me
Oh, I can't take no more
I wanna woman
She got a superstitious mind
So take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned
So take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
Take me down slow an' easy,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone
Take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone...
37. Shake My Tree
(Coverdale/Page)
Now I don't want to be your slave,
You're trying to drive me to an early grave
All I ever hear, is that you live an' breathe for me
But, all you ever do, babe, is shake my tree
'Cos you keep on pushing, baby,
Like you never, ever been in love before.
I told you once an' I told you twice,
I ain't no schoolboy you can sacrifice
You want my love an' you want it now,
You try to love me, baby, but you don't know how
So you keep on pushing, baby,
Like you never, ever been in love before
I need love an' I need time,
An' a little bit of both, if you wanna be a friend of mine
I don't want no woman, drive me outta my head
An' you're the kind of girl, guaranteed to wreck my bed
Love is what you need,
But, you cut down to the bone an' make me bleed
I give you everything an' still you cry
Ooh, mama, the price of loving you is way too high
But, you keep on talking, baby, I've heard it all before
Now I don't want you hanging around, or kicking at my door
But, you keep on pushing, mama,
Like you never, ever been in love before
I know love an' I know shame
An' I ain't gonna get caught up in your game
It took a little time to make me see,
I ain't lookin' for a woman like you to shake my tree
So keep on talking, baby, keep on hangin' around
Everything you do to me, is sure to drag me down
An' you keep on pushing, mama,
Like you never, ever been in love before
Shake my tree
I don't want to be your slave,
You're trying to drive me to an early grave
You keep on talking, no matter what you say
I've had enough of your kind of love, to last me all my days
So keep on pushing baby, I've heard it all before
I don't want you hanging around, or kicking at my door
Now I don't want your loving, baby, I can't take it anymore,
I don't want you hanging around, kicking at my door
If I see your face again, I'll give you what's in store
But, you'll keep on pushing, baby,
'Cos you've never, ever been in love before
38. Guilty of Love
(Coverdale)
I believe my love for you
Is a love that will last forever,
An' I'm here to testify
I'm a prisoner of your heart
Baby don't you believe
When I tell you I love you
That I really mean it,
Don't you walk away,
Don't you turn your back on me
I'm guilty of love,
It's a crime of passion
Guilty of love,
An' there's no doubt about it,
No doubt about it
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree
I can never forget the times
When I took what you gave me for granted
So I stand accused
An' I plead guilty to the crime
You can lock me away if you want
Just as long as your arms are around me,
An' I won't mind
If you just throw away the key
I'm guilty of love,
It's a crime of passion
Guilty of love,
An' there's no doubt about it,
No doubt about it
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree
Guilty of love...
I'm guilty of love,
It's a crime of passion
Guilty of love,
An' there's no doubt about it,
No doubt about it
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty
Guilty of love,
I'm guilty of love,
I'm guilty,
In the first degree...
39. The Deeper the Love
(Coverdale/Vandenberg)
When I look back
On everything I've done
I know you must have cried
A river of tears,
But, you were there
When I was feeling low
To walk me through my darkest fears
So when the sun goes down
An' those nights grow colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder
An' the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An' the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion
There were times
I almost let you go
When I thought I needed to break free,
But you were there
To whisper in my ear
Why don't you share your dreams with me.
So when the sun goes down
An those nights are growing colder
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder.
An' the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An' the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion
I don't mind, what you're doing to me,
I don't mind, 'cause you're all I can see
I don't mind, baby, you mean the world to me
When the sun goes down
An' those nights are growing colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder, baby, baby, baby.
So When the sun goes down
An' those nights are growing colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder.
'Cause the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An' the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion...
I never gonna let you go,
In my heart, I know.
I really love you, I love you.
Oh baby, I really love you...
40. Blindman
(Coverdale)
I was dreaming of the past,
Why do good times never last
Help me Jesus, show the way
I can't hold on another day
I was hungry, feeling low,
I just couldn't make out which way to go
Chasing rainbows that have no end,
The road is long without friend
Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul
Just a young man looking homeward,
Watching the sun go down again
Across the water, the sun is shining,
But, will it ever, will it ever be the same
Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul
I need somebody, I need someone,
I need somebody to call my own
Like a blindman, I can feel the heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know where it's coming from
Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul
I need somebody, I need someone,
I need somebody to call my own
Like a blindman, I can feel the heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know where is coming from
41. Love to Keep You Warm
If you want love,
You gotta be cool
And if you deny it,
Then baby you're a fool.
I'm telling you now,
Don't you hide it away.
Because you need to keep you warm both night and day.
I could come home
Late at night
And after some loving,
Baby, it would be alright.
I've given up trying
Lying my way.
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day.
I said baby, if you need my love
You better come home with me.
Maybe if you want my love,
You know you got it easily.
But, when the sun goes down
And the night is cold,
You know I won't be far away.
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day.
You gotta have love.
(Solo)
If you want schooling baby
I'll be around,
I'm ready for fooling
But, don't hang around.
And every morning I know I will say.
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day.
I said baby, if you need my love
You better come home with me.
Maybe if you want my love,
You know you got it easily.
But, when the sun goes down
And the night is cold,
You know I won't be far away.
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day,
I said you need love to keep you warm both night and day.
42. Love Is Blind
43. Ain't Gonna Cry No More
(Coverdale/Moody)
Rising with the morning sun
I turn to greet the dawn,
Knowing I must face another day
Sleepless night behind me,
Just a memory of pain,
My heart has always been a cross to bear
Lord I know the sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
All around me, shadows fall,
Tho' day has just begun,
I realise I'm on my own again
Memories of broken dreams,
As distant as the sun,
Are drifting like an echo in the wind
Lord, I know the sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try, hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
Babe, I thought about it,
But, it just ain't done good,
You hold my heart and soul within your hand
All the time, you're in my mind,
I never thought you could be so blind,
Maybe someday I will understand
Lord, I know the sun shine,
But I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today, no more
Hey, mama you drive me crazy,
Knowing you're my hearts desire,
Why'd you go and hang me up this way
You've given me love, given me love,
Now tell me what you were thinking of,
Why'd you go and steal my soul away
Lord I know the sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
I ain't gonna cry no more...
Lord I know the sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
Ain't gonna cry no more
Hey, I ain't gonna cry no more today...
44. Slave
45. Lonely Days, Lonely Nights
(Coverdale)
I've been burning my bridges
For too many years,
Drowning the sorrow
Of too many tears
Women and whiskey
Are my only friends,
One gives me strength,
One just pretends
I've been waiting my whole life
For things to work out right,
But, those lonely days turn into lonely nights
Yes, It do
I've heard all the wisdom
Of prophets and seers,
It don't soothe my passion
And it don't ease my fears
Burned by love
And blinded by snow,
Bad luck and trouble
Are with me wherever I go
I've been waiting my whole life
For things to work out right,
But those lonely days turn into lonely nights
Lonely days, lonely nights,
Lonely days, lonely nights
Lonely days, lonely nights,
Someday babe, it's gonna be alright
Lonely days, lonely nights,
Someday babe, it's gonna be alright for me, for me
Lonely days, lonely nights,
Someday babe, it's gonna be alright...
46. Give Me All Your Love
(Coverdale/Sykes)
When I first saw you baby
You took my breath away,
I knew your name was Trouble
But, my heart got in the way
I couldn't stop myself from reaching out,
I could not turn away
I don't even know your name
An' I can't leave you alone,
I'm running round in circles
Like a dog without a bone
I know the game you're playing
But, baby I just can't let go
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want
Just give me all of your loving tonight
I'll work hard everyday
To love and treat you right.
I'll rock you in the morning
And roll you in the night.
Any way you want
I'm gonna prove my love for you.
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight, tonight, tonight...
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight
I am blinded by your smile
And I'm crazy about your walk
I shiver and I shake
When I hear you baby talk
I'm a fool for your loving babe,
Give me all your loving tonight...
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight
Anything you want from me...
So give me all your love tonight,
Give me all your love tonight
I'll do anything you want,
Just give me all of your loving tonight, tonight, tonight...
47. Till the Day I Die
(Coverdale)
When ice cold winds of winter
Chill me to the bone,
An' thoughts of summer breezes
Turn my heart to stone
That's when I need a hand to guide me,
When it's more than I can bear
A shoulder I can cry on,
Someone to lead me there
An' give me love,
Give me love,
Give me love
Till the day I die,
Till the day I die
Slowly I awaken
To the Weavers plan for me,
To drift upon the waters
Of my own uncertainty,
To look for a companion
Who will share my destiny,
A guiding hand to understand
An' walk to road with me
An' give me love,
Give me love,
Give me love
Till the day I die,
Till the day I die
I wanna be the master of my destiny,
I never wanna crawl an' beg for no sympathy,
When everything I have is yours,
An' all I ask of you
Is give me love.
Give me love,
Give me love
Till the day I die,
Till the day I die
I never wanna be the first
To show I'm down,
But, I'm never gonna wear the frozen smile of a clown
When everything I have is yours
And all I ask of you
Is give me love
Give me love,
Give me love
Till the day I die,
Till the day I die
Give me love,
Give me love,
Give me love.
Till the day I die
Give me love,
Give me love,
Give me love.
Till the day I die
Till the day I die...
48. Here I Go Again 87
No, I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
here i go again, here i go again
Tho' I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
49. Still Of The Night
In the Still of the Night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the Still of the Night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more
In the shadow of night
I see the full moon rise
Telling me what's in store,
My heart starts aching
My body started shaking
And I can't take no more, no, no
Now I just wanna get close to you
And taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat...
In the Still of the Night...
In the Still of the Night...
Over here baby...
In the heat of the day
I hang my head down low
And hide my face from the sun
Through the light of the day
Until the evening time
I'm waiting for the night to come, ooh, baby
In the Still of the Night,
In the cool moonlight,
I feel my heart is aching
In the Still of the Night...
Oooh Baby, Oooh baby
Solo
In the Still of the Night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door...
In the Still of the Night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more...
Oooh, mama
Now I just wanna get close to you
And taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat.
In the Still of the Night...
In the Still of the Night...
In the Still of the Night...
In the Still of the Night...
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night...
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night...
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night...
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night,
Still of the Night...
50. If You Want Me
51. Best Years
Somebody help me
I'm feeling low
I've been down so long
don't know which way to go
drowning in sorrow
in deep misery
someone throw me a line
I'm clean out of time
Lord I've got to break free
You came along like a sun in the night
took me out of the shadows
into the light!
Caught in a crossfire
of heartache and pain
searching so many years
thro' a river of tears
always shot down in flames
You came along like a sun in the night
took me out of the shadows
into the light!
Now these are the best years
truly the best years of my life
the best years of my life
Bad luck and trouble
everyday of my life
every lonely lonely night
like a cold hearted twist of the knife
You came along like a sun in the night
took me out of the shadows
into the light!
Now these are the best years
truly the best years of my life
the best years of my life
Somebody help me
I'm feeling low
I've been down so long
babe I've got to let go
You came along like a sun in the night
took me out of the shadows
into the light!
Now these are the best years
truly the best years of my life
the best years of my life
52. We Wish You Well
I'm sad to say it's time to go
Until we meet again along the road
Remember this on your journey home,
When you hear the thunder roar you're not alone
We wish you well, we wish you well,
In times of trouble may your hearts be strong
We wish you well, we wish you well,
Until we meet again,
We wish you well...
