I don't know where i'm going
But, i sure know where i've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' i've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here i go again
Here i go again

Tho' i keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what i'm looking for
Oh lord, i pray
You give me strength to carry on,
'cos i know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here i go again on my own
Goin' down the only road i've ever known,
Like a hobo* i was born to walk alone
An' i've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' i'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
'cos i know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here i go again on my own
Goin' down the only road i've ever known,
Like a hobo* i was born to walk alone
An' i've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

But, here i go again,
Here i go again,
Here i go again,
Here i go...

An' i've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time

An' here i go again on my own
Goin' down the only road i've ever known,
Like a hobo i was born to walk alone
'cos i know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here i go again on my own
Goin' down the only road i've ever known,
Like a hobo i was born to walk alone
An' i've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time...

But, here i go again,
Here i go again,
Here i go again,
Here i go,
Here i go again...

* in the 1987 version this word is changed to "drifter".
Davids management thought that hobo could be confused with homo! :)

You hold all the aces,
I never get the chance to deal
Flick of the wrist and you cut me down,
I'm spinning like a roulette wheel

You say that love's a gamble
But, you play with loaded dice
You hide behind a good girl smile
With a heart stone cold as ice

But, i want it, i need it
If you don't give it i'll steal it,
I'll take it all and walk away
Lady luck,
You're a loser in the game of love, sweet lady luck
Who you gonna call when it all falls down on you,
Sweet lady luck...

You can't stop your dealing
'cos it's a crying shame,
When the winner takes it all
And never ever takes the blame

But i want it, i need it
If you don't give it i'll steal it,
I'll take it all and walk away
Lady luck,
You're a loser in the game of love, sweet lady luck
Who you gonna call when it all falls down on you
Uh, what you gonna do?
Lady luck

I need your love, i need it now,
I've got to have it anyhow,
Sweet lady luck...

I can't win for losing,
It's tearing me apart
So i'll play the joker to your queen of broken hearts

But, i want it, i need it,
If you don't give it i'll steal it
I'll take it all and walk away
Lady luck,
You're a loser in the game of love, sweet lady luck
Spinning like a roulette wheel, sweet lady luck
You're a loser in the game of love, sweet lady luck

I need your love, i need it now,
I've got to have it anyhow

Sweet lady luck..
Sweet lady luck..
Sweet lady luck..
Lady luck!

Now you're gone
I can feel my heart is breaking,
An' i can't go on
When i think of the love that you've taken

In the night i pray for your embrace,
Every time i close my eyes
I can't escape your face
You're out of sight,
But, always on my mind,
I never realised
My love could be so blind

You're all i want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine
You're all i need,
So maybe we could turn back
The hands of time,
Maybe we could give it another try
One more time

But, now you're gone
There's an emptiness closing around me,
An' i can't go on
When all i have left is the memory

In the night i call out your name,
I wake up in a cold sweat
An' i'm all alone again
I need your love
Much more than i can say,
I realise without you
I can't face another day

You're all i want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine
You're all that i need,
Since i lost you, girl,
I've been losing my mind
You're all that i want,
So maybe we could turn back
The hands of time,
Maybe we could give it
Another try
One more time,
Baby, just one more time

Now you're gone
I can feel my heart is breaking,
An i can't go on
When all of my love has been taken

You're all i want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine
You're all that i need,
Since i lost you, girl,
I've been losing my mind

You're all i want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine
You're all that i need,
Since i lost you, girl,
I've been losing my mind...

I'm tired of waiting
An' closing my eyes
I'm asking myself
Why is it all my horizons
Are so far away

I look in the mirror
Don't like what i see
In my reflection
A stranger is staring at me
Looking for love

The love of a woman
The needs of a man
I try so hard to belive
But i don't understand
The search goes on

But over the mountains
Across the sea
I know love is waiting
I hear it calling to me
Calling my name

I'm looking for love all around me
Looking for love to surround me
The love that i need
To rescue the state of my heart

Alone again, it's always the same
I've just been marking my time
Since the day i was born
With no one to blame

The candle is burning
It's way down low
I just need someone
To show me the way to go
Which way to go.

I'm looking for love all around me
Looking for love to surround me
The love that i need
To rescue the state of my heart

I'm looking for love
An' finding only heartache
Looking for love
An' finding only heartache
I'm looking for love to rely on
Looking for love, a shoulder to cry on
I'm looking for love
To rescue the state of my heart...

In the still of the night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the still of the night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me i gotta have more

In the shadow of night
I see the full moon rise
Telling me what's in store,
My heart start aching
My body start a shaking
And i can't take no more, no, no

Now i just wanna get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
And i just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat...

In the still of the night...
In the still of the night...
Over here baby...

In the heat of the day
I hang my head down low
And hide my face from the sun
Through the light of the day
Until the evening time
I'm waiting for the night to come

In the still of the night,
In the cool moonlight,
I feel heart is aching
In the still of the night...

Tell me here baby

In the still of the night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door...
In the still of the night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me i gotta have more...

Now i just wanna get close to you
An' taste your love so sweet
And i just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat.

In the still of the night...

Still of the night,
Still of the night,
Still of the night...

When i look back
On everything i've done
I know you must have cried
A river of tears,
But, you were there
When i was feeling low
To walk me through my darkest fears

So when the sun goes down
An' those nights grow colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder

An' the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An' the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion

There were times
I almost let you go
When i thought i needed to break free,
But you were there
To whisper in my ear
Why don't you share my dreams with me.

So when the sun goes down
An those nights are growing colder
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder.

An' the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An' the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion

I don't mind, what you're doing to me,
I don't mind, 'cause you're all i can see
I don't mind, baby, you mean the world to me

When the sun goes down
An' those nights are growing colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder, baby, baby, baby.

So when the sun goes down
An' those nights are growing colder,
I will be there
Looking over your shoulder.

'cause the deeper the love
The stronger the emotion,
An' the stronger the love
The deeper the devotion...

I never gonna let you go,
In my heart, i know.
I love you, i love you.
Oh baby, i really love you...

(coverdale/sykes)

Now i know
I've seen that look
On your face before
When you realised
All the memories
Walked right out the door...

Now it's eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
No more hiding behind the truth
I'm gonna get exactly
What's coming to me

You're gonna break my heart again,
You never let me forget it
You're gonna break my heart again
But, you're gonna live to regret it

Now you say
I took advantage of you
When you never knew the score
But, you should know
We've been this way
One thousand times before

You told me once,
You told me twice
It's down to me, girl
To pay the price
But, this time's the last time
That's for sure...

You're gonna break my heart again,
You never let me forget it
You're gonna break my heart again
But, you're gonna live to regret it
Yes you are

You talk of how our love
Was meant to be
And all the time
You sacrificed for me...

So how could i forget it,
Why should i regret it
'cos when you told me you loved me
I knew it was lies
So no more crying, no more goodbyes,
'cos this time's the last time
That's for sure...break my heart...

Now you say
There is no one in the world
Can get the better of you
An' you should know
'cos you never made it easy
With the pain you put me thru

I told you once
I told you twice
It's down to you, girl
To pay the price
'cos this time's the last time
That's for sure...

You're gonna break my heart again,
You never let me forget it
You're gonna break my heart again
But, you're gonna live to regret it

I just can't take anymore,
No more, no more, no more...
