Back On My Feet Again [The Babys featuring Ricky Phillips]

Back On My Feet Again Written by Frank Musker, Dominic Roy King, John Waite Lead Vocals by John Waite I was so lonely until I met you Told myself I'd get by without love Drownin' my sorrows, avoiding tomorrows Kind of felt that I just had enough You light up my face with your jokes and your smiles And the way that you came every night Don't know what you got, but I'm sure glad I found you Could be wrong but it sure feels right And here I am I'm back on my feet again Here I am I'm back on my feet again Surprised at myself for the way that I feel So happy that you're here with me Some women I've known, have left me with nothing But I guess that was just meant to be And here I am I'm back on my feet again Here I am I'm back on my feet again I was down for the count I was down, I was beat, I was cryin' I was cornered and hurt I was hidin' my face, sick of tryin' I was so lonely until I met you Told myself I'd get by without love Drown...

  True Love True Confession Written by Jonathan Cain, John Waite Lead Vocals by John Waite I try to call ya But I only get your service You're the playmate of the year So I guess that I deserve it Well you left me with some habits That are awful hard to kick If you see me on your TV screen You better come on over quick Cause true love and true confessions Are the same thing Don't go and sell our secrets for a gold ring Our love was ended quickly for the deadlines Now you talk about me in the headlines You're always seen in Paris At the Central Fashion Show You got a million lovers And I can't forget your glow Well each week was like a playing card And I'm living in a dream You were nothin' like I thought you were But I'm nothin' like I seem Cause true love and true confessions Are the same thing Don't go and sell our secrets for a gold ring Our love was ended quickly for the deadlines Now you talk about me in the headlines You're so beautiful and...

Who side am I on in this game that we play I wanna be somebody someday Living my life away And I can'...

Love Is Just A Mystery Written by Tony Brock, John Waite, Wally Stocker Lead Vocals by John Waite You turn your back on me And you slam the door I burn my bridges Watch the players I know the score The starlings fly for winter skies Only the cold wind blows Love is just a mystery Like colors to the blind You always need A secret agent love You feel you've missed One chance for the spirits Something stronger than a kiss Around the world The signal beams For others and their dreams Love is just a mystery Like colors to the blind Love is just a mystery Like colors to the blind Love is just a mystery Love is just a mystery Love is just a mystery Love is just a mystery
