benny mardones - all for a reason

I know its late and i'm a little drunk
But i wanted to call just to hear your voice
It was the two of us such a long time ago
So many times i regret that choice
Oh ann, it's all for a reason
And whatever reason we had to go on
Wo oh i just want you to know
I think your beautiful
I read some letters you use to write
I couldn't help but be taken
I couldn't sleep at all that night
Too bad love was forsaken
Oh ann, it's all for a reason
And whatever reason...
So tell me what you know, let your feelings go
Oh i won't make a scene i won't carry on
Can't you see i'm just a man in love and it's driving me insane
Oh no hello, hello it's all for a reason
And whatever reason
We're here for a reason and whatever reason,
Oh ann, it's all for a reason and whatever reason
You had to go

benny mardones - baby tonight

Ever sit around and wonder why people
Constantly let you down
Tired of watching the late night news
It's a nightmare
Your starting to think
It might be time to find someone new
You're feeling all alone
Like nobody loves you but baby I do
Tonight my life's on the line
And I cant let you go
Your eyes take to heaven
And your heart it already knows
Don't you cry cause I can't stand the pain
You and I
We can have it all again
Baby tonight

You say you fell in love with a man who made you feel
Like you were the only one
At first he bought you all kinds of expensive things
Then he hurt you, hurt you, hurt you
You're starting to see
That everything you ever wanted in a man baby
Is looking right at you
You said nobody loves you but baby I do

Tonight my life's on the line
And I cant let you go
Your eyes take to heaven
And your heart it already knows
Don't you cry cause I can't stand the pain
You and I
We can have it all again
Baby tonight

Tonight while our hearts are beating
Tonight while the world is sleeping
While the Gods are keeping watch over you

Tonight my life's on the line
And I cant let you go
Your eyes take to heaven
And your heart it already knows
Don't you cry cause I can't stand the pain
You and I
We can have it all again
Baby tonight

benny mardones - american bandstand

I used to watch you with those young girls by your side
Telling you all the songs they did or didn't like
Rating the records was the part I liked the most
The only question was the planet of the host
On American Bandstand
You look just the same and
You're not growing older like everyone else and I'm wondering
You might be a spaceman
Mr. American Bandstand
Cause you're not growing older like everyone else and I'm wondering

You'd always smile and introduce the latest rage
Richard you've seen everybody walk across your stage
I think it's time somebody wrote a song for you
We really like you and my mother likes you too

On American Bandstand
You look just the same and
You're not growing older like everyone else and I'm wondering
You might be a spaceman
Mr. American Bandstand
Cause you're not growing older like everyone else and I'm wondering

Could it be that rock 'n' roll music made you stay so young
Those rock 'n' roll songs
Could it be that rock 'n' roll music
Could it be those rock 'n' roll songs on American Bandstand

benny mardones - american dreams

I don't believe in dying
I ain't afraid to live
Some people call me crazy
That might be what it is babe
It hurts to feel this way
I don't believe in lawyers
I don't believe in thieves
They only want your money
They're both the same to me babe
It hurts to feel this way

I'm just another victim
I'm just another victim
I'm just another victim
Of American Dreams

I don't believe in Russia
I don't believe in China
I don't believe in treaties
Nobody's gonna sign babe
It hurts to feel this way

I'm just another victim
I'm just another victim
I'm just another victim
Of American Dreams

I don't believe in lying
I've had to tell a few
I hate a cheating woman
Still I'm in love with you babe
It hurts to feel this way

I'm just another victim
I'm just another victim
I'm just another victim
Of American Dreams

benny mardones - baby don t

If she's the one for you
If she's the one for you
She'll make you feel like
You've just been stung
You'll want to see her every night
If she's the one
If she's a runaway, oh a little runaway
She can't be satisfied
There ain't no way
You better run for your life
If she's a runaway
Baby don't
Say you'll never love again
Oh honey I know
You don't believe what you're saying
It's crazy to be so afraid to fall
To lose at love
Is better than to never love at all

People fall in love
They're always falling in and out of love, love, love
If it's a forever or a night
No matter who it's all right
Baby its better than to never love at all

Baby don't
Say you'll never love again
Oh honey I know
You don't believe what you're saying
It's crazy to be so afraid to fall
To lose at love
Is better than to never love at all

B-b-b-baby don't
Oh say you'll never love again
Oh honey I know
You don't believe what you're saying
It's crazy to be so afraid to fall
To lose at love
Is better than to never love at all
To lose at love...

Baby don't
Oh say you'll never love again
Oh honey I know
You don't believe what you're saying
It's crazy to be so afraid to fall
To lose at love...

benny mardones - bless a brand new angel

You were a rose among my thorns
You were the calm in the eye of every storm
Now you're gone, I have no more tears to cry
We never had a chance to say good bye
Oh, bless a brand new Angel
Heaven isn't all that far
Though time came to take you
You're still living in my heart
With a love that's never changing
Please bless a brand new Angel

You were my refuge from the rain
When you'd smile you'd bring summer back again
I'll hold you here, forever in my mind
Till we meet someday on the other side of time

Without you, the sun will never shines as bright
Your magic touch lit up each corner of my life

With a love that's never changing
Please bless a brand new Angel

God, bless your brand new Angel

benny mardones - close to the flame

Yeah, hold on
Sometimes there are things
You can only tell a stranger
And we all have our demons
That's something i know about
And you remember the first time
You saw her
Her hair was more than blonde, man
It was white
And you remember the smell
Of her sweet perfume
And the sounds from the engines
And the tail lights
As she pulled out of sight

Oh, you try to hold on
When something is gone away
For good
Out in the rain
How can you face the night again?

Her voice is calling to you
Pulling you close to the flame
Never surrender
When you can hold on
Places where no one
Remembers your name
And your living on the edge
Close to the flame

And you're standing on the side of the road, man
And i mean you're watching
The cars pass you by
Just wondering where they're going
Ooh-ooh, yeah, fighting the feeling
And you're living out in the street man
And i mean there's nothing
Over your head
But the sky
And the rain comes down
And slaps you up
And slaps you on the face

You try to be strong
When something is gone away
For good
Out in the rain,
How can you face the night again?

Her voice is calling to you
Pulling you close to the flame
Never surrender when you can hold on
Places where no one remembers you name
And your living on the edge
Close to the flame

benny mardones - crazy boy

It's hard to live up to
What they say you are
The road to it all
Seems like some distant star
And people around you
Are like shadows on the wall
Gone in an instant
If you should slip and fall
But you sacrifice
To your last pound of flesh
So satisfied that it's part of the test
Worshipping the ones that get
To where you want to be
Talking to no one
And wishing it were me

And I know that I'm gonna be the one
This time I'm gonna be the one

He ha crazy boy
Looking for love, looking for joy
Finding what it's like to dream
Ha ha, crazy boy
Time is running out the door
Finding what it's like to dream

Everyone tells me that i'm such a fool
Taking my chances and breaking the rules
But baby you don't know
That I don't care what they say
So don't let them hurt you cause this could be the day

And I know that I'm gonna be the one
This time I'm gonna be the one

He ha crazy boy
Looking for love, looking for joy
Finding what it's like to dream
Ha ha, crazy boy
Time is running out the door
Finding what it's like to dream

benny mardones - dream baby

You were there when I needed someone
After all that you heard you rescued my poor heart
Love me tonight and don't stop
And when I acted like some kind of fool
Even after the fall
You laughed when they told you
He'll let you down
You smiled in their faces and just turned around
Dream baby
I don't want to dream alone
I've been crying'
Ever since you've gone
Dream baby
I'll give you everything I own
Dream baby
I don't wanna dream
I don't wanna dream alone

I could tell you some stories oh baby
About life on the run
I'll promise forever
There be no regrets
We'll have each other and never forget

Dream baby
I don't want to dream alone
I've been crying
Ever since you've gone oh your gone
Dream baby
I'll give you everything I own
Oh dream baby
I don't wanna dream
I don't wanna dream alone

Cause when I fell in love

Dream baby
I've been crying
Ever since you've gone oh your gone
Dream baby
I'll give you everything I own
Oh dream baby
I don't wanna dream
I don't wanna dream alone

Dream baby
I don't wanna dream alone

benny mardones - everything that touches you

You say your all alone
With visions all your own
The thing you feel nobody feels the same
But you you know me you know what I've been through
Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Touches you
Friends along the road
May lighten up your load
By saying what they think you want to hear
But I'll only tell you
What I feel is true
Cause everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Touches you

Share cause I can't take you there
Unless I know a part of what your thinking
Darling can't feel my poor hearts breaking
My heart is breaking

Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
It touches you

benny mardones - fool for falling in love

Baby
You were crying
When they saying
I was a head of my time
Baby
Just when the spotlight started to fade
That's when you left me behind
I can't believe it's true
I spent my life
Writing love songs to a heart breaker
Fool
That's what I am
Fool
I'd take you back again
Fool
For falling in love
With you

Baby
I've been a dreamer
Taking my chances
Ever since I recall
Baby
Losing is dying
But living this way
Just isn't living at all
I can't believe it's true
I spent my life writing love songs
To a heart breaker

Fool
That's what I am
Fool
I'd take you back again
Fool
For falling in love
With you

Fool
That's what I am
Fool
I'd take you back again
Fool
For falling in love
In love with you

Hey and I
Can't believe it's true
I've spent my life writing love songs
To a heart breaker

Fool
That's what I am
Fool
I'd take you back again
Fool for falling in love
Fool for falling in love
Fool for falling in love
In love with you

Fool that's what I am
Fool that's what I am
I'm a fool
That's what I am
I'm a fool
That's what I am
Over you
I'm a fool
That's what I am
I'm a fool
That's what I am
Fool
That's what I am
I'm a fool
That's what I am

Fool over you
Fool that's what I am

benny mardones - for a little ride

Hey baby, hey baby
I'm gonna pick you up
Hey baby, hey baby
Tonight we're gonna rip it up
Hey baby, I'll take you
All around the world
Hey baby, I'll make you
Ohh such a crazy girl
You should know
You're my one desire
I'll never let go
I can see that your heart's on fire
I'll take you to the other side
Take you for a little ride
Oh, oh-for a little ride.

Hey baby, hey baby
You're not a child
Hey baby, hey baby
Come to papa for awhile

Gonna ride till the night's on fire
And never go back
When you think that you can't get higher
I'll take you to the other side
Take you for a little ride.

Oh, oh for a little ride
Oh, oh for a little ride
Nothing to lose, nothing to take away
Just me and you,
We've got to break away
Ride away

You know, late at night in the city
When people pass you by, you can
feel their hearts beating
And you can look in their eyes and you can tell
The ones that are lying
The ones that are trying
And the ones that are just giving up
Oh, for a little ride

benny mardones - from me to you

Both of us have known
The kind of love affair
That only brought us pain
It's called a one way game
In a world where taking
Is a normal thing
I guess i'm outta line
Because my heart and i want to give
From me to you
A love that you can cling to all the time
From me to you
A love that has a year round valentine
You take it with you everywhere
So even when i'm not there
You'll never be alone
You'll have my love

Knowing your in love with me is like christmas eve
To a child that five years old
Who's watching while it snows
How can i compare the joy you bring to me
I don't know another way
So darling will you take a love

From me to you
A love that you can cling to all the time
From me to you
A love that has a year round valentine
You take it with you everywhere
So even when i'm not there
You'll never be alone
You'll have my love

benny mardones - from your heart

You're from another planet, sure
Cause I never met anyone like you before
Hooked again
An innocent smile
Then left alone never saying good bye
And that can take a piece away from your heart
A wealthy blue blood Kentucky boy
Led such a sheltered life
An easy mark for a broken heart
And it cut me like a knife
I thought you told the truth, you see
But you were only fooling me
And that can take a piece away from your heart

Laid up inside a small motel
Trying to forget a face I knew so well
I don't believe I'll ever love again
Cause coming down's a mighty painful end
And that can take a piece away from your heart

A wealthy blue blood Kentucky boy
Led such a sheltered life
An easy mark for a broken heart
And it cut me like a knife
I thought you told the truth, you see
But you were only fooling me
And that can take a piece away from your heart

benny mardones - hey baby

Didn't you think I was kind of crazy
You must have thought
I was off the wall
There I was calling you my baby
I don't believe we had ever met at all
But when I saw you
I started calling you baby
I remember I started calling you baby
Calling you baby I was out of my mind
Trying to find you
Calling you baby
Calling you baby and falling in love

And you shied away
From my advances
Yet you invited me to call
I think that's around the time I
Started to care about a woman
Much at all

But when I saw you
I started calling you baby
I remember I started calling you baby
Calling you baby I was out of my mind
Trying to find you
Calling you baby
Calling you baby and falling in love
