I never thought it could happen
It was the furthest thing from my mind
I just turned my back on a sad love affair
Was try'n' to leave it all behind
That's when I met you
I just couldn't say no
One look in your eyes
And I said here I go
I found somebody
I found somebody to love
I found somebody
I found somebody to love
I'd seen so much deceivin'
I almost stopped believin'
I'd ever fall in love again
I was runnin' around hidin' my heart
Fakin' it with all of my friends
I was down on my luck
That's when you came along
You put me back on my feet
You got me singin' this song
I found somebody
I found somebody to love
I found somebody
I found somebody to love
And she loves me in the midnight hour
You know ever since I found you
And put my arms around you
I don't need a doggone thing
You know that ev'ry day is such a beautiful day
I want the whole world to dance and sing
So don't you dare hang your head
Don't you dare be blue
If it can happen to me
It can happen to you
And you'll be singin' this song
I found somebody
I found somebody to love
I found somebody
I found somebody to love

I know you need a friend, someone you can talk to
Who will understand what you're going through
When it comes to love, there's no easy answer
Only you can say what you're gonna do
I heard you on the phone, you took his number
Said you weren't alone, but you'd call him soon
Isn't he the guy, the guy who left you cryin'?
Isn't he the one who made you blue?
When you remember those nights in his arms
You know you gotta make up your mind
Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you goin' back to the one you love?
Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
Someone's gonna thank the stars above
What you gonna say when he comes over?
Ther's no easy way to see this through
All the broken dreams, all the disappointment
Oh girl, what you gonna do?
Your heart keeps sayin' it's just not fair
But still you gotta make up your mind
Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you goin' back to the one you love?
Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
Someone's gonna thank the stars above

I got sick of my job, sick of my wife
Sick of my future and sick of my life
I packed up my car and I got some gas
And told ev'rybody they could kiss my ass
I'm goin' to Party town (Yeah, yeah)
I wanna party down (Yeah, yeah)
I wanna have some fun
I wanna fool around
I'm goin' to Party town
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
Doesn't really matter in Party town
They go all day and they go all night
They keep on goin' until they get it right
Right here in Party town (Yeah, yeah)
They really party down (Yeah, yeah)
Man it's a party town (Yeah, yeah)
You know they all got their own
And they pass it all around
Well I'm burnin' like a blowtorch in my prime
Ev'rybody here is a friend of mine
I met a little girl a couple shooters ago
She's teachin' me ev'rything I don't know
About Party town (Yeah, yeah)
They really party down (Yeah, yeah)
You know they love to ball
They do it in the hall
Right here in Party town
We're so cool
You got any? Yeah
Meet you in the john
Woo hoo hoo I sure feel good!
Some Party!

I volunteer to drive you home
To spend some time with you alone
But the words don't come, that I wanna say
And the precious time just slips away
Cause you don't know, you don't know that it's me
Who really loves you so desp'rately
If I could only make you hear,
I'd volunteer
I volunteer to stop somewhere
And talk about your love affairs
We'll laugh together like best friends
But I hate to see these moments end
Cause you still don't know, you don't know that it's me
Who really loves you so desp'rately
If I could only make you hear,
I'd volunteer
Well I volunteer the love I kept inside so long
I search in your eyes for the moment, but it never seems to come
We talk all night and forget the time
But I never say what's on my mind
And when you're gone all that I wish
Is I'd said it all with just a kiss
Cause you still don't know, you don't know that it's me
Who really loves you so desp'rately
If I could only make you hear,
I'd volunteer
If I could only make you hear,
I'd volunteer

I've been born again
I'm a brand new man (kind of brand new)
I've been born again
Saturday night in the city
Parties on every block
It's a temptation for a man who loves to party
But my party days had to stop
So brothers you can keep your street life
Changin' women like you change your clothes
Cause every woman I need, she's wrapped up in one
My love just grows and grows
Well a whole lot of women is an ego trip
I'd rather spend my time kissin' baby's sweet lips
I've been born again (There's a change in me)
I've been born again (I said a change, a change)
I've been born again (There's a change in me)
I've been born again (I said a change, a change)
Oh, I'm not a casanova
My playin' days are over
I think I'm gonna start me a fire
Got my matchbox in my hand
Burnin' up the pages in my little black book
Start my life all over again
I don't need no women in excess
I can't afford to spread my lovin' around
Cause when my woman, she's needin' me by her side
I just don't wanna let her down
Well a whole lot of women is an ego trip
I'd rather spend my time kissin' baby's sweet lips
I've been born again (There's a change in me)
I've been born again (I said a change, a change)
I've been born again (There's a change in me)
I've been born again (I said a change, a change)
Oh, I'm not a casanova
My playin' days are over
Now I don't need a lot of women
Just to prove my manhood
I got me one special woman
So I can be the man that I should
Well a whole lot of women is an ego trip
I'd rather spend my time kissin' baby's sweet lips
I've been born again (There's a change in me)
I've been born again (I said a change, a change)
I've been born again (There's a change in me)
I've been born again (I said a change, a change)

Raindrops fallin' on these hills tonight
I've been drivin' since the mornin' light
It won't be long before those headlights shine
And I'll be missin' that girl of mine
Yesterday, I was safe and warm
Yesterday, I held her in my arms
Now the raindrops fallin'
And I feel like callin'
That Girl
Well there ain't no explainin' what she does for me
It might be somethin' only I can see
Understanding in a quiet way
Undemanding and I got to say
I'm in love, and I know it's for sure
I'm in love, I can't stop thinking of her
Now the raindrops fallin'
And I feel like callin'
That girl
Well I've been callin' that girl for such a long long time
I can't get through, I'm 'bout to lose my mind
I got so much to tell her, I got so much to say
Ooh, I'm gonna love her till my dyin' day
Oh, I'm in love, and I know it's for sure
I'm in love, I can't stop thinking of her
now the raindrops fallin'
I feel like callin'
Raindrops fallin'
I feel like callin'
Raindrops fallin'
And I feel like callin'
That girl
That girl

I woke up shakin' in a cold, cold sweat
I got so much goin' on. What did I forget?
I know there's somethin', but it got so late
I need someone to help me get my story straight
Who told shorty? Who told you?
And who else knows about the things I do?
It's my own bus'ness. It's my own fun
So don't you breathe a word of this to anyone
All those lies: I hope I can remember
All those lies: I'm a bad pretender
All those lies: Comin' back to haunt me
All those lies: I get the feeling like they want me
Listen, baby, you can take my word
Don't you believe a single lie you've heard
They're all out to get me and then get you
There's just no tellin' what these kind of people will do
They're sayin' certain things behind my back
I can't believe you'd listen to those one eyed jacks
They look you in the eye; say it with a smile
They wanna see you sad and lonely all the while
All those lies: I hope I can remember
All those lies: I'm a bad pretender
All those lies: It's a bad situation
All those lies: Try'n' to ruin my reputation
There's some bad wheels in motion, try'n' to run us down
Spreadin' dirty lies in this dirty little town
Ooh baby, you know I wouldn't dare
You know how much I love you. You know how much I care
All those lies: I hope I can remember
All those lies: I'm a bad pretender
All those lies: It's a bad situation
All those lies: Try'n' to ruin my reputation

When I talk to her, I know she doesn't hear me
She seems to be a million miles away
When the lights start to dim
She'll be thinking of him
She loves him so
She can't let go
It's been long enough for her to just forget him
But still she sees his face in ev'ry crowd
She walks out of the room
When they're playing that tune
That's how I know
She can't let go
She can't let go, though she knows it's really over
She can't let go, though she knows he's really gone
And I can't compete with a rose colored memory
A memory that lingers on and on
I've tried ev'rything, but know there's only waiting
For the last dying embers to fade
Oh, she wants to be free
But when she's holding me
That's when I know
She can't let go
I love her so
But she can't let go
. . .

Baby, I been thinkin' about you
I couldn't get to sleep last night
Maybe I been too long without you
I'm tryin', but it just ain't right
I know that I did you wrong
I can't get it out of my mind
I know that I said that I'm sorry before
But I beg you to listen this time
Don't give up. Countin' on you
Don't give up. If you still love me too
Don't give up. We can make it somehow
Don't give up. Don't give up on us now
Baby, I heard all about him
But I don't want to know his name
And maybe you got reason to doubt him
I know his lovin' ain't the same
I think about you at night
I can't get you off of my mind
I know that I said that I'm sorry before
But I beg you to listen this time
Don't give up. Countin' on you
Don't give up. If you still love me too
Don't give up. We can make it somehow
Don't give up. Don't give up on us now
Baby I know you can hear me
We gotta give it one more try
Maybe we thought it was over
But this love's too strong to die
I need you to come back home
I'm layin' it all on the line
I know that I said that I'm sorry before
But I beg you to listen this time
Don't give up. Countin' on you
Don't give up. If you still love me too
Don't give up. We can make it somehow
Don't give up. Don't give up on us now
Don't give up
. . .
