rick springfield - jessie s girl

JESSIEâ??S GIRL
Jessie is a friend,
Yeah I know he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed
It ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl
And I want to make her mine
And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

You know I wish that I had Jessie's Girl
I wish that I had Jessie's Girl
Why can't I find a woman like that

I'll play along with this charade
That doesn't seem to be a reason to change
You know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot
'Cause she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

You know I wish that I had Jessie's Girl
I wish that I had Jessie's Girl
Why can't I find a woman like that?

Like Jessie's Girl
I wish that I had Jessie's Girl
Why can't I find a woman
Why can't I find a woman like that

And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time
Wonderin' what she don't see in me
I've been funny; I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be
Tell me why can't I find a woman like that

You know I wish that I had Jessie's Girl
I wish that I had Jessie's Girl
I want Jessie's girl
Why can't I find a woman like that?
Like Jessie's Girl

I wish that I had Jessie's Girl
I want, I want Jessie's Girl

rick springfield - don t talk to strangers

When you were just a young girl
and still in school
How come you never learned
the golden rule?

Don't talk to strange men,
don't be a fool
I'm hearing stories,
I don't think that's cool
Why dontcha tell me
Someone is a-lovin' you
'Cos you're my girl
Some say it's no longer true
They say you're dating
Some slick Continental dude
I'm tellin' you
Don't talk to strangers
Baby, dontcha talk
Don't talk to strangers
You know he'll only use
Don't talk,
don't talk
Oh, don't talk
Don't talk,
don't talk to him
Nobody, nobody ever told you

Now tell me,
how's life in the big city?
I hear the competition's tough,
baby, that's a pity
Where every man's an actor,
every girl is pretty
I don't like
what's gettin' back to me
Now who's this
Don Juan I've been hearing of
Love hurts
When only one's in love
Now did ya fall at first sight
Or did you need a shove
I'm beggin' you,
please

rick springfield - inside sylvia

INSIDE SILVIA
I love that look comes in your eyes when we're all alone
And it's much too late for friends to come calling
I disconnect the phone
And I put on the radio and I take her and I talk real low
And I hold her tight and soon I'm dancing in the night

Inside Silvia, oh Silvia, yeah, yeah, Silvia
I know my love is alive
Inside Silvia, yeah Silvia, oh Silvia, oh

Sometimes you get so crazy and I know it's all in your mind
And right in the middle of the night, I see just what you need
And they say that love is blind
And I hold you till the feelings come
But sometimes when the lovin's done I see the scared little girl
Afraid of the woman

Inside Silvia, oh Silvia, yeah, yeah, Silvia
I know my love is alive
Inside Silvia, yeah Silvia, oh Silvia, oh

Though the world may rage and storm
There's still one harbor where I'm safe and warm

It's when I'm Inside Silvia, yeah Silvia, oh Silvia, oh
Inside Silvia, oh Silvia, yeah, yeah, Silvia
I know my love is alive
Inside Silvia, yeah Silvia, oh Silvia, oh

rick springfield - what kind of fool am i

WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I
I wonder who she's seeing tonight
Is she really going out with him
He's not her type
And doing all the things she used to do to me
Well, I'd say something to her
But I get so jealous
When I think of her loving somebody else
That I can't think why we ever let go
I must have been crazy

Tell me What Kind Of Fool Am I
To just let go,
To just let go like that
What Kind Of Fool Am I
To lose you

She was cold sometimes
But she made me feel alive
She was such a spoiled baby
But baby, she could love
And she loved me like nobody ever will again
I thought we'd be together
When the world ran down
When the curtain fell and the lights came up
But the Gods or whatever make the world go round
Shuffled when they should have cut

Tell me What Kind Of Fool Am I
To just let go,
To just let go like that
What Kind Of Fool Am I
To lose you

Did it come too easy to the two of us
Did we go too wrong to ever make it right
Were we too busy checking out the left hand
That we didn't see the right

Tell me What Kind Of Fool Am I
To just let go,
To just let go like that
What Kind Of Fool Am I

Oh baby, please, oh baby, please come back
I meant to say in time
Baby we could work it out
But I never meant to say goodbye

Tell me What Kind Of Fool Am I
What Kind Of Fool Am I
What Kind Of Fool Am I
To lose you

rick springfield - tonight

TONIGHT
Patty's working, but she's watching the clock
She's in the back room counting stock
And down in a warehouse out by the dock
Jesse's lifting crates and breaking rock
But when the whistle blows to end the daily fight
And the working forces turn out the light
Jesse takes that little girl and he holds her tight
As the day fades away he says
We're all that matters tonight

Tonight's the night, I know I'm right
And heart to heart, we'll make it Tonight
So hold me tight, and love me right
The world can wait for tomorrow Tonight

Patty comes like an angel and takes his hand
Jesse says, "Baby, I've got a plan"
He says, "I wanna get married and make a stand
But there's just one thing you gotta understand
Now the pressure of living and the daily fight
Could hurt us in time if our perspective ain't right
So shut the door and put out the light
And baby, be here, because we're all that matters Tonight "

Tonight's the night, I know I'm right
And heart to heart, we'll make it Tonight
So hold me tight, and love me right
The world can wait for tomorrow Tonight

Break your back from nine to five
Sweating blood just to stay alive
Running home to the harbor light
Safe and warm, in love so right, Tonight

Tonight, Tonight, Tonight, Tonight,
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight, Tonight, Tonight

Tonight's the night, I know I'm right
And heart to heart, we'll make it Tonight
So hold me tight, and love me right
The world can wait for tomorrow Tonight

Tonight's the night, I know I'm right
And heart to heart, we'll make it t Tonight
So hold me tight, and love me right
The world can wait for tomorrow Tonight

Tonight's the night, I know I'm right
And heart to heart, we'll make it Tonight

Tell me her name cause'
I really want to see her,
And tell me her game
cause' I need a exit strategy
ooh what a tragedy.

And i know she'd rather fly away
to someone else's arms.

is it really what it claims to be.
you show me that brain,
is it really based on fantasy,
ooh itâ??s barley.

of what little there is left,
and it seems like she's controlling me
like a robot but in a trace.
and its true
we don't learn from history
but i got to know one thing

(chorus repeatX1)

peace of mind,
in a photograph of holidays,
that little girl from yesterday.

she wears will expose,
all of weakness.

rick springfield - souls

SOULS
It all started here, she was a girl form the Midwest
He was a stranger in a strange land
Same old story
He came for the glory
She came looking for a young man's hand

But they found bright lights
And endless nights
And men just used her innocent ways
He found it all so pretty, hypnotized by the city
They lost sight of the reason
They lost count of the days

And they were two Souls searching for each other
One spirit looking for the other
Caught between a hard hard place and a rock

Two Souls searching for heaven
Rolling the dice looking for a seven
To the tick, tick, ticking of time
Gotta beat the clock

Too many nights on the ledge
He acquired a knife-edge
Still the city didn't acquiesce to his demands
Some nights she cried for pity in the heart of the city
The city smacked her hands

He met her one endless night
Her eyes had a light
There was something familiar about the smell of her skin
He held her tighter and tighter
As he danced inside her
She knew from the moment that she let him in

They'd been two Souls searching for each other
One spirit looking for the other
Caught between a hard hard place and a rock

Two Souls searching for heaven
Rolling the dice looking for a seven
To the tick, tick, ticking of time
Gotta beat the clock
Beat the clock
Beat the clock
Beat the clock

Two Souls searching for each other
One spirit looking for the other
Caught between a hard hard place and a rock

Two Souls searching for heaven
Rolling the dice looking for a seven
To the tick, tick, ticking of time
Gotta beat the clock

rick springfield - dancing this world away

Ricky Springfield â??dancing this world away

Everybody looks so spaced out here
Busy bowing to the priest of noise
Turn it up and make it drown out the woming
Bad news for the boys and girls
Everybody looks so romantic
Acting like itâ??s nothing at all
Looking out for number one
Working for the week and
Living to the beat

Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away

I see people all dressed like Nero
Fiddling with Rome burns in strife
Personal responsibility zero
Weâ??ve lost the rhythm of life
Thereâ??s shadow on our bright horizon
It wonâ??t be manna falling out of sky
The hard rain hits everyone
Working for the week and
Living to the beat

Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away

Somewhere there is a ship thatâ??s sinking
Why do I think that nobody knows
Looking out for number one
Work through the week and
Dancing to the back beat

Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away
Dancing this world away to fade

rick springfield - love somebody

Love Somebody
Rick Springfield

I can see the path you're cutting
It cost me a little piece of my heart
I can see the doors you're shutting
'Cause they were open at the start

Baby loving you has been hard on me
You're such a tough little sister
Just looking for Mr. Right
On the wrong side of town

You better Love Somebody
It's late
You better Love Somebody
Don't wait
You better Love Somebody
Don't tempt fate
You're gonna pull you just a little too far
One night

Your eyes are wild, your skin so white
You're undernourished and overfed
She's got the teeth, she knows how to bite
'Cause when you bit I bled
You got the perfect image
Of the perfect man
You're a tough little sister
But you'll settle for a mister tonight
But you're running out of time

You better Love Somebody
It's late
You better Love Somebody
Don't wait
You better Love Somebody
Don't tempt fate
You're gonna pull you just a little too far
One night

I'm only saying what I feel
You think I'm wrong I know
You thought I was sleeping at the wheel
I thought that you were driving

You better Love Somebody
You better Love Somebody

You better Love Somebody
It's late
You better Love Somebody
Don't wait
You better Love Somebody
Don't tempt fate
They're gonna pull you just a little too far
One night

rick springfield - i ll miss that someday

Throw me out into the rain
Then comfort me with pain
How can all of ever last
You're just a big pain
in the ass
God and me
can we survive?
This stormy sea
Two worlds collide
Well you and I
Will love
when love's invisible
Take the time to say
I'll miss that someday
Every time you come unglued
I wanna strangle you in two
Learning lessons here i sit
Each love can turn out
to be chivalry
On broken wings
Yeah you and I
Will love when love's invisible
So take the time to say (to say)
Yeah take the time
When life in unpredictable,
take the time to say
I'll miss that someday
One season
One reason
Screaming I wont say the words
Bite my tounge
cause nothing lasts forever
Drag it out and take my hand
We'll do the best we can
Well you and I
Will love when love's invisible
Take the time to say (to say)
Yeah take the time
when life is unpredictable
