reo speedwagon - keep on lovin you

You shoud've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was something missin
You shoud've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin

And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever

And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin' you

And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever

And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin' you

reo speedwagon - can t fight this feeling

I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show

I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I say there is no reason for my fear
'Coz I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction, you make everything so clear

And ever as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I every thought I might

AndI can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I've started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever

'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I've started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
come crashing through your door
Baby I can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been runnin' round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you girl
'Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find

And ever as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I every thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I've started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever

'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I've started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
come crashing through your door
Baby I can't fight this feeling anymore

reo speedwagon - after tonight

Staring up at the moonlight
Looking up at the stars
I'm alone and i just want to be with you
But i don't know where you are

Maybe i took you for granted
So blind, i let your love slip away
Now i'm missing you so much i can't stand it
Please believe me when i say,

After tonight, i never will be the same again
This time i'm sure that nothing means more
Than giving you all the love i can
After tonight i promise, i'm gonna be a better man
Just hold me tight, and i'll be all right
After tonight

Anticipating the moment
When i can make love with you again
Patience is a virtue i'm finding
Very hard to understand

After tonight, i will never be the same again
This time i'm sure that nothing means more
Than giving you all the love i can
After tonight i promise, i'm gonna be a better man
Just hold me tight, and i'll be all right
After tonight

reo speedwagon - any kind of love

Well if you?re ever in a tight spot,
And all the things around you are gettin? hot,
Come to me and I can cool you off.
And if you ever get yourself in a jam,
And if you ever feel you need to find a man
Call my number and, darling, you found one

But I know now, it can never work out
The way I really wished that it would.
But a second-hand love is better than no love at all

And the walls get a little closer,
And my throat gets a little tighter when
I say to you that a second-hand love from you is better than no love at all
Any kind of love from you is better than no love at all

If you got the feeling it ain?t right tonight
And if the fire at home ain?t as hot as you like
I?ve got a fire that?s burning for you.
And if you ever feel you need to get away
To get away from the rest of your life,
I?ll come a-runnin? and show you the world.

reo speedwagon - 157 riverside avenue

We flew into town on sunday, had to find a place by monday
Tried bridgeport and westport, ?til we found a place that we thought would do
157 riverside avenue.

Saugatuck river?s flowin?, mother nature?s colors were showin?
So cold, so rainy, we couldn?t help feelin? blue
Not enough time, too many things to do.

We met a young girl on main street, wanted to just pass her by
She was homely, so lonely, she said, can I make love to you.
We shouted 157 riverside avenue.

It?s over, miss lena, we?re leaving. such a pleasant stay, I must say.
So nice, so easy, we hate to say goodbye to you
At 157 riverside avenue.

reo speedwagon - accidents can happen

There's a side of you, could bring on homicide
But livin' in a cell changes my view
Maybe your automobile could lose its right front wheel
It happens every day, it could be you

Look back over your shoulder, when you think you're alone, you're not
Each noise, every shadow, look out!

Chorus:
Accidents can happen, it's always in the news
Accidents can happen to you
You read it in the paper, you see it on the tube
Accidents can happen

To you

A little Haitian doll, that looks a lot like you do
A little powdered poison in your tea
Electricity, invisible to see, I'd like to introduce you to Mr. E

A malfunction, who would notice, machines and things get hot
A permanent vacation can be bought

chorus - look out!

(Solo)

Accidents can happen, accidents can happen, accidents can happen to you

chorus - accidents can happen, accidents can happen - look out!

reo speedwagon - all heaven broke loose

All heaven broke loose
It hit me like a shot right out of the blue
All heaven broke loose
I was shaken by the power of love
Taken by the power of you

If I don't get to heaven
For the things that I've done
I guess it's all just history now
Too late to be the innocent one
I know that I've been led astray
Love has torn me apart
But each day is a victory now
Since you have given peace to my heart
Oh, I was a little bit crazy then
Wheels kept turnin around
And I kept losin ground
?Till you stopped me from fallin again

All heaven broke loose
It hit me like a shot right out of the blue
All heaven broke loose
I was shaken by the power of love
Taken by the power of you

You've been my salvation
Been a love with no cost
Brought me to my sences again
Gave me back more than I've ever lost
So baby if I loose my way
If temptation goes to my head
It's only a twist in the road
There's no way that I'll be mislead

Oh, I was a little bit crazy then
But I'll pay the price
For my fool's paradise
Now I've just got to hold you again

All heaven broke loose
It hit me like a shot right out of the blue
All heaven broke loose
I was shaken by the power of love
Taken by the power of you

The love that you've given me
Is a love that is true
And each time I feel like running
I come running home to you

Oh, we were a little bit crazy then
All heaven broke loose
It hit me like a shot right out of the blue
All heaven broke loose
I was shaken by the power of love
Taken by the power of you

reo speedwagon - anti establishment man

Standing by the roadside
Old newspaper in my hand.
Reading yesterday's headlines,
Nothing new, I said it's all the same.
Everywhere!
I'm the fool of the year and I've been waiting
Twenty five years of anticipating
I've seen changes in my land

People I'm here to tell you,
I've been around since the world began.
Well, Mr. Politician, reform me if you can,
I'm an anti-establishment man.

I'm tired of your treating
All of my children the same.
Everywhere!
Spending all that money
On a stupid war in Vietnam
(When we need it at home)

People I'm here to tell you,
I think it's 'bout time that the world began (all over!)
Well, Mr. Politician, reform me if you can,
I'm an anti-establishment man.

reo speedwagon - back in my heart

A grey ghost night
On an Eastern flight
Sixteen thousand miles away
I lay awake
When the morning breaks
But what can I do to get you
Back in my heart again

The towns top gun
Safe at number one
No man's will can change my life
Safe and certain
But now I'm hurtin
So what can I do to get you

Chorus

Back in my heart again
Blowin through my life
Life a cold winters wind
Now in my mind I know I didn't win
I want you back in my heart again

Baby, baby
What can I say
I was wrong so I ran away
A million miles
Wont make me smile
I want you, want you, want you

reo speedwagon - back on the road again

Please don't hate me mama for what I'm about to do
But the good times we've had together are just about nowthrough
Please don't misunderstand me, I hate to see you cry
But I think that it might look better if I told you now goodbye

I'm back on the road again, it's time I leave you now
And maybe I'll see you next time, that I'm around
Until then I hope your happy baby and good times come your way
I'm back on the road again, I'm on my way

Well I've loved you since the day I met you and I'll love you tilthe day I die
But we both know the life I'm livin' and we both know the reasonwhy
That I've got to leave ya mama and I've got to leave today
But you know that I'll see you next time that I come through yourtown to play

(chorus) ook, bye - bye baby

(solo)

reo speedwagon - ballad of the illinois opry

Found myself heading down toward Springfield
The last sign said it was twelve miles west
It's gettin' hard to see through the salt on my windshield
But it looks like I'm gonna make it before the sun sets

The morning I arrived was Lincoln's birthday
So I walked through his house and saw his tomb
I decided that a tour through the Civil War Memorial Museum would be a drag
I was tired of seeing monuments about other men's doom

Now I don't want you people to think that all there is around Springfield Illinois
Are landmarks telling `bout the good old Lincoln years
Cus just north of town I saw a sign that said the Illinois Opry is open tonight
And the sweet sound of country music filled my ears

And I want to be a star in the Illinois Opry now
The people in the country certainly know how to play
It may be a while before I'm ready
But I'm gonna be up on that stage someday

I could easily write a whole song about the licks that guitar man was pickin'
I could go on for hours `bout the old boy on pedal steel
But I'm not singing `bout people who were just playin' music
I'm singing about how fine their music made me feel

There's a lot of people who have taken years of lessons
Trying to learn how to make their music fit the trend
But the simple folks at the Opry have got somethin' special
And I think that we all could use a lesson or two from them

And I want to be a star in the Illinois Opry now
The people in the country certainly know how to play
It maybe a while before I'm ready
But I'm gonna be up on that stage someday

reo speedwagon - being kind

Please don't worry now about the mornin'
When it's time we'll sip our wine and sleep
Woah, but I've been known
To love more than one person
Woah, and I've been shown
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes

Listen to my words now look no further
What you've seen is what I mean no more
Woah, but I've been known
To love more than one person
Woah, and I've been shown
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes

Don't dream of answers cause you know I've none to give
They burn like cancers they just won't let you live

I've been known
To love more than one person
And I've been shown
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes

Don't dream of answers cause you know I've none to give
We move like dancers steppin on each other to live
And pouncin hard
Like animals in the yard
And there's no healin, lookin, feelin
There's no denyin that bein kind can hurt
Someone sometimes
Oh, there's no denyin, woah Lord there's no denyin
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes
(solo)

reo speedwagon - the heart survives

When she turned away, you know it was just in time
Cause I?d used up all my strength
And you can?t let a woman see you cryin
And you know it?s real
She?s not gonna change her mind
You choose not to change your ways
Though she begged you a thousand times
And you don?t understand
And you want to be a man about it

In time you?ll learn to live without it
And you know that you?ll survive
But still sometimes you doubt it
If you can stand a little rain
You?re gonna grow again
Cause you know that when love dies
The heart survives

Your stare at the empty walls
Inside of this vacant home
You walk through these hollow halls
And at night you sleep alone

Chorus

You?ve been over it so many times in your head
Looking for a hidden message of hope
In something she said
Still you find nothing to make this bad dream end
Tell me, how many sleepless nights will you spend

Chorus

reo speedwagon - back in my heart again

A grey ghost night
On an Eastern flight
Sixteen thousand miles away
I lay awake
When the morning breaks
But what can I do to get you
Back in my heart again
The towns top gun
Safe at number one
No man's will can change my life
Safe and certain
But now I'm hurtin
So what can I do to get you

Back in my heart again
Blowin through my life
Life a cold winters wind
Now in my mind I know I didn't win
I want you back in my heart again

Baby, baby
What can I say
I was wrong so I ran away
A million miles
Wont make me smile
I want you, want you, want you

reo speedwagon - blazin your own trail again

Sooner or later you will find a way
To feel like sunshine even on a cloudy day
To feel like morning in the dead of night
Sooner or later it?s gonna be all right.

Now don?t go thinking your life?s a mess
Rather start thinkin? in terms of happiness

And it?s gonna happen
Just decide were you?re goin?
Get out in the open
And start blazin? your own trail again

It takes time sometimes to figure out
That there?s nothing to worry about
And that there?s plenty to be thankful for
It takes time sometimes to know the score

See everybody?s got a smile inside
So put it upon your face and wear it with pride

And it?s gonna happen
Just decide were you?re goin?
Get out in the open
And start blazin? your own trail again
