Playlist Billy Squier

billy squier - don t let me go

Over and over--wanderin' through the years
Life is a diamond--love is a trail of tears
Sometimes I want you--sometimes I want to fly
I know when I find you
No one can stop me now--break you

Don't let me go--Don't let me

Watchin' the seasons--can't let you pass me by
Turnin' the pages--why do we have to lie
You are the reason--yours are the final eyes
And when I hold you
No one can touch me now--break-through

Don't let me go--Don't let me

Never wanna say goodbye--never wanna make you cry
Never wanna see you go
Now every time I close my eyes
You're the one who makes me realize

Don't let me go

billy squier - alone in your dreams

I saw you last night...alone in your dreams
You were so peaceful there...or that's how it seemed
But something is wrong...you feel it inside
No one can reach you there...but still you can't hide

'Cause dreams never lie
You can't if you try
It's not often easy to wake up...sometimes

Don't say good-bye...don't say it's over
Don't say good-bye to the dreams of our love
Don't say good-bye...keep dreamin' for us

A shot in the dark...like ships in the night
So we're both older now...well that's all right
'Cause visions live on where memories have died
We've walked that road before...we'll get there this time

Now I know you tried
You tell me that you've had enough
You think it might be easier to just give up

Don't say good-bye...don't say it's over
Don't say good-bye to the dreams of our love
Don't say good-bye...lean on my shoulder
Don't say good-bye...keep dreamin' for us

Tell ya baby...I can't stop thinkin'
'Bout all those times you walked on out my door
Now I don't want you...say I don't need it
But I'll never--no never...let you go

Don't say good-bye...and don't look back
Don't say good-bye to the dreams of our love
Don't look back...and don't say why
Don't turn back...keep dreamin' for us

Don't don't oh yea
Don't don't --say why
Keep on dreamin'
Keep dreamin' for us

billy squier - angry

Get your master key...open up your doors
Set your servants free...they won't come no more
Wrapped my life in chains...gave my everything
Learned to feel no pain...now everyday I wake up

ANGRY...ANGRY I said
ANGRY...ANGRY I said

You pack me in your car...you drive my life away
But you only go so far...won't take me all the way
I tried so hard to please...take my place in line
Begged you on my knees...now all I got makes me

ANGRY...ANGRY I said
ANGRY...ANGRY I said

Your mantle's 'bout to fall
Your grip's gonna come undone
Nobody hear you call...no flowers from anyone
I'm gettin' down off the rack...I'm takin' this baby back

ANGRY...

I've wasted too much time
I'm gettin' down off the rack
I'm packin' up all my crimes...and I ain't comin' back
Your mantle's 'bout to fall...your mantle's bound to fall
No heaven after all...no heaven after all

ANGRY...no heaven after all
ANGRY...no one to break your fall
ANGRY...no heaven after all
ANGRY...no heaven after all

billy squier - anyday

see you walkin...on a sunny day out on Central Park avenue
And the look in your eye tells me, girl - you're out there lookin for somebody new
Ain't the first time you kept me waitin here
Ain't the first time I've been alone, oh no
The way that you been treatin me - so downright mean and lowly
I should be mighty glad you're gone

I know you know I tried to so hard to make you see
What's it take for you to see the man in me

Anyday - I'llwalk right out that door
Anyday - and leave the past behind
Anyday - I'll say bye bye
Anyday - and leave you to your own

But each and every time you say "I'm sorry"
Girl you know I try my best to believe it's true
But what then would you expect now babe
From a poor lonely boy who's so strung out on you

Lord only knows I tried a thousand times before
Someday soon I'm gonna walk right out that door

Anyday - I'll pack my bags on you
Anyday - and leave the past behind
Anyday - I'll say bye bye
Anyday - and leave you to your own

But each and every time you say "I'm sorry"
Girl you know I try my best to believe it's true
But what then would you expect now babe
From a poor lonely boy who's so strung out on you

Lord only knows I tried a thousand times before
Someday soon I'm gonna walk right out that door

Anyday - I'm gonna pack my bags
Anyday - and leave the past behind
Anyday - I 'll bye bye, bye bye babe
Anyday - now I've had about all I can take from you, woman

Throw me down, step on my face, slander my name all over the place
But take it easy child, I ain't lying
And I'm ready
Oh, I'm ready, ready

billy squier - calley oh

1. I thought I knew the Story. I thought I?d seen it all
Those days of love and glory. But now I hear you call
Chourus:
Calley Oh
See there?s nowhere to hide
Calley Oh
I can feel you inside
Don?t you know
That I can?t hold back
I keep on coming after you

2. You never compromise me. You never find it hard
You never recognize me. You throw me off my guard

Ch: Calley Oh
With the roads that you pave
Calley Oh
You can have it your way
Don?t you know
That I can?t hold back
I keep on coming after you

Bridge:
I go chasing moonshine racing you may wonder why
If I find my true love ever
I will never
I will never say good bye

3. I?m past the point of caring. It?s just your point of view
I?m Past the point of sharing. I gave it all to you

Ch: Calley Oh
You can see thru my eyes
Calley Oh
You could never disguise
What you know ? That I can?t hold back
I keep on coming after you
Calley Oh
You?re my nights and my days
Calley Oh
Finding my way
Don?t You know that I can?t hold back
I keep on coming after you.

billy squier - can t get next to you

Say I can't get next to you
Doesn't matter what can I do
You charge me up and wring me through
No I can't get next to you

I feel the heat...you turn it on
I feel the beat poundin'
You make me weak...you trip me up
I feel my heart boundin'
Make it so hard on me
Make me too blind to see
Turn on your light...make it so right
Don't leave me lonely...I get so lonely

Say I can't get next to you
Doesn't matter --what I do
You won't deliver and I can't get through
No I can't get next to you

I climb the walls you're buildin' up
I find your halls alarmin'
You know my weakness...you suck it up
Take my heart and chuck it
Gimme one chance to see
Gimme one dance for free
Gimme one night...make it so right
Don't leave me lonely...I get so lonely

billy squier - christmas is the time to say i love you

Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
And a feeling that will last all through the year

On the corner carolers are singing
there's a touch of magic in the air
from grownup to minor no one could be finer
times are hard but no one seems to care
Christmas Eve and all the world is watching
Santa guides his reindeer through the dark
from rooftop to chimney, from Harlem to Bimini
they will find a way into your heart

Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
And a feeling that will last all through the year

Just outside the window snow is falling
but here beside the fire we share the glow
of moonlight and brandy, sweet talk and candy
sentiments that everyone should know
Memories of the year that lays behind us
wishes for the year that's yet to come
and it stands to reason that good friends in season
make you feel that life has just begun

Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
And a feeling that will last all through the year

So when spirits grow lighter
and hopes are shinin' brighter
then you know that Christmas time is here

billy squier - come home

Poundin' on the pavement, soundin' the alarm
Strangulation mama, why you do me harm
Graduation lover, turn me on a dime
Come around and see me when you find the time

I can't be certain, you can't deny
Who can be certain, when these things you hide

Come home...come home
Come home little woman wontcha leave me alone
Come home...come home
Come home now baby keep me off the phone
I don't want your lie-de-lies, don't care what you say, girl
Come home...come home
Come home little woman get your back on the lawn

How you wanna play it--whatcha gotta say
Are you gonna keep me up all night for days
Tell me 'bout your lovers, tell me how ya do
Tell me now baby what's it done to you

I could be bitter, who could deny
You should know better but these things you try

Come home...come home
Come home little woman dontcha leave me alone
Come home...come home
Come home now baby keep me off the phone
I don't want to fight the fight, where you gonna stay the night...
Come home...come home
Come home little woman dontcha leave me alone
Come home...come home
Come home now baby, don't leave me all alone

I could be tempted, who could deny...love over logic runs true every time
Come home...come home
Come home little woman dontcha leave me alone
Come home...come home
Come home now baby, wontcha stay
Come home...come home
Come home little woman dontcha leave me alone
Come home...come home
Come home now baby get your ass on the lawn

billy squier - don t say no

We live in confusion times---my world is a vice
Nobody gets out alive...but you can break through the ice
Don't say no

My wounds are the open kind---I bleed every day
I pray for a change of mind...you could take me away
Don't say no

Take on the system, playin' on the wrong side
Spend all my money tryin' to have a good time
Come 'round to see you from time to time
Week in the knees and I'm busted

Some people they treat me kind...some drive me away
Some people they blow your mind...it's not easy today
Don't say no

I live on the borderline...you come from the void
I beg you to cross the line...you take good care of your boy
Don't say no

Got me a ticket sittin' on a gold mine
Send me the int'rest, take me where the sun shines
Come 'round to see me from time to time
Bring it to me when I'm busted

One minute I'm outa time...I don't fit in your game
You kill me in overtime...I don't remember my name
One minute you're on my mind...next minute you're gone
You tell me to read the signs...they tell me we're on
Don't say no...

billy squier - don t say you love me

You can't get up--you can't get down
You can't sit still--you never settle down

Don't say you love me--just say--'huh'!

You love runs hot--your love runs cold
You can't get loose until you get control

Don't say you love me--just say--'huh'!
Don't say you love me--just say--'all right'

You're scared to win--you're scared to lose
You're scared to live with the life you choose

Don't say you love me--just say--

You can't say 'yes'--you can't say 'no'
Your mind's made up--you don't know where to go

Don't say you love me--whatcha say?
Don't say you love me--just say--'huh'!

I can see you comin' round again
I can feel you but I can't say when
I will be there in your now and then

billy squier - emotions in motion

Bend your back by the light o' the sun
You come to the business--you're the number one
When twilight comes you're a runner in the night
It turns you on like a hot tail-light
Get down--you really get down--you never let down
Come down--you never come down--you never come down

Emotions in motion

Back street boy gonna sell you some sin
He'll wind you up--he gonna suck you in
The blood say yes--the mind say no
The voice in your ear say you go - go - go
Run down--you really run down--you really run down
Cool down--you never cool down--you better cool down

Emotions in motion

Give yourself to a life of extremes
You're into the action--it's a part of your dream
Now there're some things you never can tell
But when the door lies open throw your coins in the well
Get down--you really get down--you really get down
Right now--you want it right now--hold tight now

Emotions in motion

billy squier - everybody wants you

You see 'em comin' at you every night
Strung on pretension they fall for you at first sight
You know their business--you think it's a bore
They make you restless--it's nothin' you ain't seen before
Get around town, spend your time on the run
You never let down...say you do it for fun
Never miss a play, though you make quite a few
You give it all away when everybody wants you

You crave attention--you can never say "no"
Throw your affections anyway the wind blows
You always make it--you're on top of the scene
You sell the copy like the cover of a magazine
Puttin' on the eyes 'til there's nobody else
You never realize what you do to yourself
The things that they see make the daily reviews
You never get free when everybody wants you

Everybody knows you
Everybody snows you
Everybody needs you...leads you...bleeds you

Nights of confusion and impossible dreams
Days at the mirror, patchin' up around the seams
You got your glory--you paid for it all
You take your pension in loneliness and alcohol
Say goodbye to conventional ways
You can't escape the hours--you lose track of the days
The more you understand, seems the more like you do
You never get away...everybody wants you

billy squier - eye on you

I watch you on the tv--you're with me every place I go
I'm caught up in the daydream--I'm into everyone you know
Turn on the action--grab every minute
Learn every lesson--then live to regret it
I'm so distracted--my mind's disengaged
Sharin' the moments when you're all the rage

I got my eyes on you
Got my eye on you...

Those overnight conditions always get the best of you
You're fuelin' my suspicions--I'm taken by the sneak preview
You got the numbers--you got no limits
One day you're out but the next day you're in it
You find the answers--you know what to say
Give us our reasons for livin' today

I got my eyes on you
Got my eye on you...

We share the laughter and pain when you're in it
Bring on disaster--cause we know you'll win it
We're all believers--so watch what you say
Turn on those feelin's...I can't look away

I got my eyes on you
Got my eye on you

billy squier - fall for love

You know sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night...
And I get to thinkin' about all the crazy things we do in life just to get by...
And somehow somethin' always seems to escape me...
And I find myself holdin' on to nothin' more than a dream...
And it keeps hauntin' me...over and over and over again...

In a darkened sky of blue I'm thinkin' of you...
As the pieces come unglued I'm reachin' for you...
Love can change the days in your life
Heartbeats and whispers in the dead of night
The sound of a hand--the touch of an eye
Visions are callin' that you can't deny

And I fall for love...

So every day I'm out on the streets tryin' to make some sense of it...
You know sometimes it feels so close that I can almost reach out...
But it always slips away...
I keep tellin' myself..."I can't stop tryin'...not ever"...

'Til I see that dream come true baby with you...
If it's the final thing I do I'm waitin' for you...
Loneliness and love will collide
The body's breakin' but the spirit's alive
And just when you think it's all been a lie
Visions are callin' and you never can deny

And I fall for love...

...I'm gonna keep on tryin'...
