No Such Thing Written by Tommy Shaw and Terry Thomas Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw No such thing...no such thing You're waiting for the lightning to strike you from the sky You're waiting for the fireworks on the Fourth Of July But sure as there's a moon in the heavens up above There's no such thing as the perfect love You read Harlequin Romances and True Life Magazines You're the young and you're the restless You relate to every scene I tried to tell you once but I guess it's not enough There's no such thing as the perfect love Baby what you want from me come and take it But never give your heart for free 'cause I'll break it Yeah I'll break it You're still listening for the footsteps You sit there by the phone Staring at your posters aren't you tired of being alone You may think you're trying but it isn't hard enough There's no such thing as the perfect love There's a time and a place for this You gotta be there If you s...

Dangerous Game Written by Tommy Shaw and Terry Thomas Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw You do just what you want to do I see the way they look at you It always comes easy You walk into a crowded room The subtle hint of your perfume It always comes easy You never seem like you're trying Still you get your way You know you're living a lie and Someday you'll pay but Don't play with love It's a dangerous game It'll tear you apart It'll drive you insane You make the choice between pleasure and pain Serious girl It's a dangerous game You never have to try too much You think you've got the magic touch You really believe it You always have to have control You never get emotional Do you really believe it When someone tries to get closer You just turn away You get to say when it's over You say who stays but Don't play with love It's a dangerous game It'll tear you apart It'll drive you insane You make the choice between pleasure and pain Serious g...

The Weight Of The World Written by Tommy Shaw and Terry Thomas Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw You've got the weight of the world On your shoulders tonight But somewhere there's a light It's just the way that you feel In the eyes of the world So much colder tonight It's feeding on your pride It's just the way that you feel Don't go Can't you see I'm on your side Baby don't go Don't go, don't go, don't go If the weight of the world Is too much for you now You've got to turn it round somehow Change the way that you feel If you wait for the world To give you what you need It's gonna bring you to your knees again So baby don't go Don't you know I'm on your side Don't let yourself go Don't go, don't go, don't go There has to be another way No don't go You've got to turn around and stay The weight of the world On your shoulders tonight But somewhere there's a light It's just the way that you feel In...

Ambition Written by Tommy Shaw and Terry Thomas Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw One cold grey morning She left her home No note no warning She just ran off alone She'd met a stranger The night before She sensed the danger Still she wanted more He had a proposition She had the skills He told her with a passion that kills All you need is Ambition Nobody's gonna hold you back you got Ambition Ooh yeah She took his number Gold business card Stares from the window Out over the park Her skills come easy She knows what's right The perfect lover She's his for the night He calls her baby She blocks him out Romance isn't what it's about It's about Ambition Nobody's gonna hold you back you got Ambition Ooh yeah You've gotta have Ambition The moment's here it's time to react with your Ambition Oh, yeah The die is cast It's within her grasp But was it worth all the Trouble and pain Such a different world For a small town girl She'll never go back again ...

Ever Since The World Began Written by Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw I'll never know what got me here As if somebody led my hand It seems I hardly had to steer My course was planned And destiny it guides us all By its every rise and fall But only for a moment Time enough to catch our breath again And we're just another piece of the puzzle Just another part of the plan How one life touches the other Is so hard to understand So we'll walk this road together Try to go as far as we can And we have waited for this moment in time Ever since the world began Taken in the times gone by We wonder how it all began We'll never know and still we try to understand And even though the seasons change The reason shall remain the same It's love that keeps us holding on 'Til we can see the sun again And we're just another piece of the puzzle Just another part of the plan How one life touches the other Is so hard to understand So we'll walk this ...

I hear you're really something Is it true you broke a million hearts? Try a million and one You've got a private number You've got a foreign car that's always parked Where the high rollers run Well I'm not impressed and you don't get it What I've got for you is one big surprise Are you ready for me?

Somewhere In The Night Written by Tommy Shaw and Terry Thomas Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Driving through the midnight rain Blinded by the light Thinking 'bout those things you told me Late last night Words keep running round in my mind All the anger in your eyes The way you told me we were over The way you cried Oh I drove through the night The rain just kept beating down The first sign of morning I stopped in this strange little town Somewhere in the night The answer's escaping me now Somewhere in the night It's hiding in the shadows Somewhere in the night The answer is waiting for me And I won't see Until the morning light Found a place to drink some coffee Sat staring at the phone Kept thinking of the way I left you So all alone Remembered all the things we've been through So I got the phone and dialed I'd give up every thing I had If I could see you smile Oh it rang and it rang So nervous I started to shake You picked up and answered So lonely I felt my heart...

Love You Too Much Written by Tommy Shaw and Terry Thomas Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Tried to call you late last night But you just let it ring I drove right round and rang your bell You wouldn't let me in Ever since I met you girl My friends all say I'm strange But I don't care what they believe I'm ready for this change I can't live without you I want to be around you All through the night I want to run right over I really need to show you You set my heart alight I love you too much I love you too much Well I've never been this way before You don't know what you've done I can't think of nothing else You really are the one But you're still playing hard to get Laying down the rules I'm on fire I'm burning up And girl you act so cool I'm in far too deep I don't get much sleep I just lie here in my bed I know I can't escape it I'm gonna have to face it I'm over my head I love you too much Ooh I can't wait to feel your ...

The Outsider Written by Tommy Shaw and Terry Thomas Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Jimmy was the son of a sailor Another lonely military brat Norfolk, Virginia, Vallejo Bags always packed Now his mother was always out drinking On midnight maneuvers of her own Jimmy would sit there and stare at the clock And one night she never came home That's how he learned the facts of life From a mother and a sailor's wife Now he's out there somewhere on his own He's always been an Outsider Taking on the world alone Such an outsider And it really doesn't matter who's right or wrong 'Cause sooner or later he's gone Outsider Jimmy tried his luck in the Navy To see the world just like his old man But too many rules and too many fools Spoilt his plans Now he's driving a truck through the Southland Pulling anything that money can buy He knows how it feels to fall asleep at the wheel So he takes a little pill to get by He's living on borrowed time He doesn't see the ...

Lay Them Down Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Mischief in motion Seemed innocent enough Wild-eyed devotion Now you can't give it up Back on your feet again You call it luck You'd justify anything Rather than give it up It should not have to be so hard If you don't see it in the cards Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down You don't need them any more Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down The only prayer the gambler prays Is that his face won't show his hand He's perfected a way To shut out everything There's a fire where the children are But you refuse to see the flames They try to warn you baby But you won't leave your game You can't think of folding your hand You can't think of walking away Not 'til you win one more game Then you won't need it any more Won't need any more It should not have to be so hard If you don't see it in the cards Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down You don't need the...
