Album: So Far So Good — текст песни (Bryan Adams)





Summer of `69
Straight from the heart
It`s only love
Can`t stop this things we started
Do I have to say the words?
This time
Run to you
Heaven
Cuts like a knife
(Everything I do) I do it for you
Somebody
Kids wanna rock
Heat of the night
Please forgive me

SUMMER OF `69

I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it til my fingers bled
Was the summer of `69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we`d never get far

But when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I`d always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain`t no use in complainin`
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin`s down at the drive-in
And that`s when I met you - ya

Standin` on your mama`s porch
You told me that you`d wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of `69

Man we were killin` time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin` can last forever - forever, no...

And now the times are changin`
Look at everything that`s come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six string
I think about ya`n wonder what went wrong

Standin` on your mama`s porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of `69



STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART

I could start dreamin` but it`d never end
As long as you`re gone we may as well pretend
I`ve been dreamin`
Straight from the heart

You said it`s easy but who`s to say
That we`d be able to keep it this way
But it`s easier
Comin` straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make another start
You know I`ll never go - as long as I know
It`s comin` straight from the heart

I`ll see you on the street some other time
And all our words would just fall outta line
While we`re dreamin`
Straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make one more start
You know I`ll never go - as long as I know
It`s comin` straight from the heart



IT`S ONLY LOVE

When the feelin` is ended
There ain`t no use pretendin`
Don`t ya worry - It`s only love

When your world has been shattered
Ain`t nothin` else matters
It ain`t over - It`s only love
And that`s all - yeah

When your heart has been broken
Hard words have been spoken
It ain`t easy - but it`s only love

And your life ain`t worth livin`
And you`re ready to give in
Just remember - that it`s only love

You can live without the aggravation
Ya gotta wanna win - ya gotta wanna win
You keep lookin` back in desperation
Over and over and over again

When your world has been shattered
Ain`t nothin` else matters
It ain`t over - It`s only love

And if your life ain`t worth livin`
And you`re ready to give in
Just remember - that it`s only love
Ya - that`s all

Ya it ain`t easy baby
But it`s only love - and that`s all



CAN`T STOP THIS THING WE STARTED

You might stop a hurricane
Might even stop the drivin` rain
You might have a dozen other guys
But if you wanna stop me baby - don`t even try
I`m goin` one way - your way
It`s such a strong way - let`s make it our way

Can`t stop this thing we started
Ya gotta know it`s right
Can`t stop this course we plotted
This thing called love we got it
No place for the broken hearted
Can`t stop this thing we started - no way
I`m goin` your way!

You might stop the world spinnin` `round
Might even walk on holy ground
I ain`t superman and I can`t fly
But if you wanna stop me baby - don`t even try
I`m goin` one way - your way
It`s such a strong way - let`s make it our way

Can`t stop this thing we started
Ya gotta know it`s right
Can`t stop this course we plotted
This thing called love we got it
No place for the broken hearted
Can`t stop this thing we started - no way
I`m goin` your way!

Oh - why take it slow
I gotta know
Nothin` can stop - this thing that we got



DO I HAVE TO SAY THE WORDS?

Rescue me from the mire
Whisper words of desire
Rescue me - darlin` rescue me

With your arms open wide
Want you here by my side
Come to me - darlin` rescue me
When this world`s closin` in
There`s no need to pretend
Set me free - darlin` rescue me

I don`t wanna let you go
So I`m standin` in your way
I never needed anyone like I`m needin` you today

Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to tell the truth?
Do I have to shout it out?
Do I have to say a prayer?
Must I prove to you - how good we are together?
Do I have to say the words?

Rescue me from despair
Tell me you will be there
Help me please - darlin` rescue me

Every dream that we share
Every cross that we bear
Can`t you see - darlin` rescue me

I don`t wanna let you go
So I`m standin` in your way
I never needed anyone like I`m needin` you today

Do I have to say the words?
Do I have to tell the truth?
Do I have to shout it out?
Do I have to say a prayer?
Must I prove to you - how good we are together?
Do I have to say the words?



THIS TIME

I think about her all the time
She`s my fantasy
An image burnin` in my mind
Callin` out to me

While my imagination`s runnin` wild
Yeah - things are getting clearer

This time everything is all right
No way she`s gonna get away
This time everything is easy
And day - I`m gonna make her mine

I`ve thought of every word I`d say
Give or take a few
But she turns and slowly walks away
What am I supposed to do

Hey - turn up your radio
Oh - there`s somethin` I want you to know

This time everything is all right
No way she`s gonna get away
This time everything is easy
And day - I`m gonna make her mine

Well it`s hard to take cause she`s miles away
And I`ve waited a long time
But the feelin`s right and darlin` one of these nights
Yeah - I`m gonna let you know

This time everything is all right
No way she`s gonna get away
This time everything is easy
And day - I`m gonna make her mine



RUN TO YOU

She says her love for me could never die
But that`d change if she ever found out about you and I

Oh - but her love is cold
It wouldn`t hurt her if she didn`t know, cause...

When it gets too much
I need to feel your touch

I`m gonna run to you
I`m gonna run to you
Cause when the feelin`s right I`m gonna run all night
I`m gonna run to you

She`s got a heart of gold she`d never let me down
But you`re the one that always turns me on
You keep me comin` `round

I know her love is true
But it`s so damn easy makin` love to you

I got my mind made up
I need to feel your touch

I`m gonna run to you
Ya - I`m gonna run to you
Cause when the feelin`s right I`m gonna stay all night

I`m gonna run to you
Ya - I`m gonna run to you
Oh when the feelin`s right I`m gonna run all night
I`m gonna run to you



HEAVEN

Oh - thinkin` about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free

Now nothin` can take you away from me
We bin down that road before
But that`s over now
You keep me comin` back for more

Baby you`re all that I want
When you`re lyin` here in my arms
I`m findin` it hard to believe
We`re in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn`t too hard to see
We`re in heaven

Oh - once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you`re feelin` down

Ya - nothin` could change what you mean to me
Oh there`s lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way

N` baby you`re all that I want
When you`re lyin` here in my arms
I`m findin` it hard to believe
We`re in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn`t too hard to see
We`re in heaven

I`ve bin waitin` for so long
For something to arrive
For love to come along

Now our dreams are comin` true
Through the good times and the bad
Ya - I`ll be standin` there by you



CUTS LIKE A KNIFE

Drivin` home this evenin`
Coulda sworn we had it all worked out
You had this boy believin` way beyond a shadow of a doubt

Then I heard it on the street
I heard ya might of found somebody new
Well who is he baby - who is he and tell me what he means to you

I took it for granted - but how was I to know
That you`d be lettin` go
Now it cuts like a knife - but it feels so right
It cuts like a knife - but it feels so right

There`s times I`ve bin mistaken
There`s times I`ve thought I`ve bin misunderstood
So wait a minute darlin` - can`t you see we did the best we could

This wouldn`t be the first time - that things have gone astray
Now you`ve thrown it all away

Now it cuts like a knife - but it feels so right
It cuts like a knife - but it feels so right



(EVERYTHING I DO) I DO IT FOR YOU

Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you`ll search no more

Don`t tell me it`s not worth tryin` for
You can`t tell me it`s not worth dyin` for
You know it`s true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into my heart - you will find
There`s nothin` there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all - I would sacrifice

Don`t tell me it`s not worth fightin` for
I can`t help it - there`s nothin` I want more
Ya know it`s true
Everything I do - I do it for you

There`s no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There`s nowhere - unless you`re there
All the time - all the way

Oh - you can`t tell me it`s not worth tryin` for
I can`t help it - there`s nothin` I want more
I would fight for you - I`d lie for you
Walk the wire for you - ya I`d die for you

Ya know it`s true
Everything I do - I do it for you



SOMEBODY

I bin lookin` for someone
Between the fire and the flame
We`re all lookin` for somethin`
To ease the pain

Now who can you turn to
When it`s all black `n` white
And the winners are losers
You see it every night

I need somebody
Somebody like you
Everybody needs somebody

I need somebody
Hey what about you
Everybody needs somebody

When you`re out on the front line
And you`re watchin` them fall
Doesn`t take long to realize
It ain`t worth fightin` for

I thought I saw the Madonna
When you walked in the room
And your eyes were like diamonds
And they cut right through - Oh they cut right through

I need somebody
Somebody like you
Everybody needs somebody

I need somebody
Hey what about you
We all need somebody

Another night another lesson learned
It`s the distance that keeps us sane
But when the silence leads to sorrow
We do it all again - all again

I need somebody
Somebody like you
Everybody needs somebody

I need somebody
Hey what about you
Everybody needs somebody



KIDS WANNA ROCK

Turned on the radio
Sounded like a disco
Musta turned the dial for a couple of miles
But I couldn`t find no rock n` roll

This computerized crap ain`t gettin` me off
Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock

London to LA
Talk about the New Wave
For a couple of bucks ya get a weird haircut
And waste your life away

Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock

Get me my DJ
I got somethin` he`s gotta play
Wanna hear it I can`t wait
So turn it up - turn it up...

Kick down the barricades
Listen what the kids say
From time to time people change their minds
But the music is here to stay

I`ve seen it all from the bottom to the top
Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock

Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock
Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock



HEAT OF THE NIGHT

I was caught in the crossfire of a silent scream
Where one man`s nightmare is another man`s dream
Pull the cover up high - and pray for the mornin` light
Cause you`re livin` alone - in the heat of the night

Met a man with a message from the other side
Couldn`t take the pressure - had to leave it behind
He said it`s up to you
You can run or you can fight (Ya that`s right)
Better leave it alone - in the heat of the night

In the heat of the night they`ll be comin` around
There`ll be lookin` for answers they`ll be chasin` you down
In the heat of the night
(Where ya gonna hide when it all comes down)
(Don`t look back don`t ever turn around)

Had to pay the piper to call the tune
Said he`d be back someday - said he`d be back real soon
Pull the shades down low - you`ll know when the time is right
When you`re lyin` alone in the heat of the night



PLEASE FORGIVE ME

Still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss
It`s gettin` better baby
No one can better this
Still holdin` on, you`re still the one
First time our eyes met - same feelin` I get
Only feels much stronger - wanna love ya longer
You still turn the fire on...
So if you`re feelin` lonely don`t - you`re the only one I ever want
I only wanna make it good - so if I love ya a little more than I should

Please forgive me - I know not what I do
Please forgive me - I can`t stop lovin` you
Don`t deny me - this pain I`m going through
Please forgive me - if I need ya like I do
Please believe me - every word I say is true
Please forgive me - I can`t stop lovin` you

Still feels like our best times are together
Feels like the first touch - still gettin` closer baby
Can`t get close enough
Still holdin` on - still number one
I remember the smell of your skin - I remember everything
I remember all your moves - I remember you yeah
I remember the nights - ya know I still do
So if you`re feelin` lonely don`t - you`re the only one I ever want
I only wanna make it good - so if I love ya a little more than I should

Please forgive me - I know not what I do
Please forgive me - I can`t stop lovin` you
Don`t deny me this pain I`m going through
Please forgive me - if I need ya like I do
Oh believe me - every word I say is true
Please forgive me - I can`t stop lovin` you

One thing I`m sure of - is the way we make love
And one thing I depend on - is for us to stay strong
With every word and every breath I`m prayin`
That`s why I`m sayin`

Please forgive me - I know not what I do
Please forgive me - I can`t stop lovin` you
Don`t deny me this pain I`m going through
Please forgive me - if I need ya like I do
Babe believe me - every word I say is true
Please forgive me - if I can`t stop lovin` you
Never leave me - I don`t know what I`d do
Please forgive me - I can`t stop lovin` you
Can`t stop lovin` you
