The Glow
-
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, yes you did, and I thank you
You didn't have to squeeze me like you did
But you did, yes you did, and I thank you
If you took your love somewhere else
I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death
You make me feel, like I've never felt
Kisses so good I've got to holler for help
You didn't have to squeeze me like you did
But you did, yes you did, and I thank you
You didn't have to hold me like you did
But you did, yes you did, and I thank you
Every day you find something new
To pull out your bag and fine perfume
You got me trying to do new things, too
Just so I could keep up with you
Thank you baby
You didn't have to shake it like you did
But you did, yes you did, and I thank you
You didn't have to make it like you did
But you did, yes you did, and I thank you
All my life I've been short changed
Without your love baby, it's a crying shame
Now I know what the girls were talking about
When they say that you
Ooh, I wanna thank you, baby
Thank you, honey
I've got to thank you, ooh
Baby, hey yeah

I don't have to beg you to hold me
Cause somebody else will
You don't have to love me when I want it, no
Cause somebody else will
Your so called friends say you don't need it
When all the time they're trying to get it
Look out
Your good thing is about to come to an end
Your real good thing is about to come to an end
All those nights I watched the four walls
I did not have to watch them all alone
When other men said they wanted me (whenever someone said)
I didn't have to tell them I was your very own (think that I was)
You have all the love that I've got baby
Even ice melts to water and gets hot
Look out
Your good
Gettin' myself back together
Is going to be a big problem I know
But when the right man says he wants me
You can bet I won't tell him no
Cause your real good -
I told you before
You know it may take a little while
I'd like to go there with you but
Runnin' just ain't my style
You want me to stay, well
You got to take it nice and slow
I'll show you the way
Just tell me if you wanna know
I remember the time
When we thought we'd never get enough
Tryin' to make a new love
And makin' it all at once
We wonder how we keep it up
After all these years
You worry 'bout your end, baby
I'll bring up the rear
I love you, baby
Don't you push me up against the wall
I ain't gonna jump every time
You need an overhaul
Maybe it'll take all night
But we'll do it 'til we get it right
And we'll be standin' by the same old love
That made us fall
There's a lot more to love
Than seein' how much love we can make
There's the kindness that makes it
So sweet 'til your little heart could break
And I want you to know
That I'm not just along for the ride
And I won't settle for less than
Everything I've got inside
I love you, baby
Don't you push me up against the wall
I ain't gonna jump every time
You need an overhaul
Maybe it'll take all night
But we'll do it 'til we get it right
And we'll be standin' by the same
Standin' by the same
Well, we'll be standin' by the same old
Oughta be standin' by the same old love
Ooh, standin', standin'
Why aren't ya standin'? Oughta be standin'
Why aren't you just standin'?
Why aren't you just standin'? -
Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder
Where my life will lead me
Waiting to pass under
Sleep's dark and silent gate
I found my love today
Runnin' round day after day
Lookin' for the time to play
While my old friends, they slipped away
Never should've had to try so hard
To make a love work out, I guess
I don't know what love has got to do with happiness
But the times when we were happy
Were the times we'd never tried
Sittin' down by the highway
I don't know where I've been
I don't know where I'm going
Oh God, this is some kind of shape I'm in
When the only thing that makes me cry
Is the kindness in my baby's eyes
Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder
Where the years have gone
They have all passed under
Sleep's dark and silent gate
I found my love today
I found my love today
I found my love today
Don't know where I'm goin'
Don't know where I've been -
I need a drink
Don't want to think
I drink too much
But who's to say
What's right or wrong?
I guess you think you see
You're tellin' me
That I don't know
When it's passed the point
Of feelin' good
I run around and find
I just can't get satisfied
Tonight
Now there's a phone
I hear the sound
I needed to talk
But it's too late
For talkin' now
I guess I'll go alone
I feel a glow
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
What I need is a friend tonight
What I need is a friend
What I need is someone
What I really deed is just one more drink
Tonight
Tonight -
Well, you took my heart
And you broke it apart
Why did a love, baby, yeah
Have to ever start?
You know you took my love
You threw it away
And you're gonna want
My love someday
Well, bye bye baby
Well, I thought your love
Was oh so true
And you made me, baby
Start lovin' you
And then you took my love
You threw it away
Well, you're gonna want
My love someday
So, bye bye baby
Well, your love was sweeter than
Any I know so
Don't come back runnin' or
Knockin' on my front door
Well, you said that I
Was your only girl
And that there was no other, yeah
In this whole wild world
Well, you took my love
You threw it away
Now you're gonna want
My love someday
Well, bye bye baby -
If he walks by and the women get engrosed
If he winks an eye and the bread slice turns to toast
He's got a lot of what they call the most
You know the boy can't help it
He was born to please
And if he's got himself a figure that's just made to squeeze
Won't you kindly be aware that the boy can't help it
If he mesmerizes each and every one
And, Lord when he smiles the beefsteak becomes well done
He even makes my grandma feel like she's twenty one
You know the boy can't help it
He was born to please
And if I got to go down to him on bended knees
It's because I'm hoping, obviously
That some day his answer will be
The boy can't help it
He's in love with me. -
Fate is mighty cruel
Where true love is concerned
It seems you give out more
Than you ever have returned
Lately I have tried
To make it on my own
Another nite has passed
Looks like I'm bound to be alone
Bound to be alone
Now solitude is fine
When you really need it
When your soul is dry
Sometimes loneliness can feed it
When you need a lover
You know there's nothin' else will do
When you need love most
You know it turns it's back on you
Oh, I can make it thru without your company
I only wish I knew why you won't comfort me
I thot that I could count on you
To hear me cryin' out
I guess that's one comfort
I will learn to do without
Fallin love too easily
But never quite so fast
So you are not the first and, lord
You sure won't be the last
The thing about the situation
That makes me feel so sad
I could've been the best old friend
That you have ever had
I could've been the best old friend
That you have ever had -
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in a while I get taken like that and I like it
I've got a Thunderbird parked right outside
Give me a minute to finish this thing and we'll light it
In all this heat it's a job keeping cool
And I could fry an egg on you
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in a while I get taken like that and I like it
You're gonna get what's coming
You been asking for it two days running
You're gonna get what's coming
You're gonna get what's coming to you
I hope that you're half as intrepid as you make out
Often or not, but you never got what you asked for
Keep on pouring until you hear me shout
And turn up the sound if you want me to drive any faster
Caution went out when you walked in the room
If it never came back it would be too soon.
You're gonna get what's coming
You been askin' for it two days runnin'
You're gonna get what's comin'
You're gonna get what's coming to you
You came upon me like a landslide,
Once in a while I get taken like that and I like it
You're gonna get what's comin',
You been askin' for it two days runnin'
You're gonna get what's comin'
You're gonna get what's comin' to you -
Struck by the moon,
Rising too soon
I feel a pain deep inside me
Cold northern winds,
A fist in my chin
Making me wild for you baby
What can I do
To get back to you
I'm feeling desperate and lonely
The city's a river
Of cold misery
Makin me wild for you baby
I'm down on my knees
Hear me cry for you baby
Cold misery, I would die for you baby
I pray you will see
These tears I cry
Nights I can sleep
My tears are cheap
I'm losing hold of my senses
I can't contain all of this pain
It's making me wild for you baby
I'm down on my knees
Hear me cry for you baby
Cold misery
I would die for you baby
I pray you will see
These tears I cry
I'm down on my knees
Hear me cry for you baby
Cold misery
I would die for you baby
I pray you will see
These tears i cry...
Going wild for you baby
Hear me cry
I got to cry some time in the morning
I've got to cry
Going wild for you baby
Hear me cry for you baby
