PRINTABLE LYRICS FOR DOWNLOADERS:
01 THE SAME (1983)

I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
CUZ IF IT'S ONLY IN MY MIND THEN WHY TRY
AND IF I DON'T SAY IT, YOU MIGHT SAY GOODBYE

I'M SO CONFUSED IMAGINING WE MIGHT
JUST FADE AWAY CUZ YOU NEVER TALK
IT'S STILL THE SAME

IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME I WANT YOU HERE WITH ME
BUT YOU'RE FAR AWAY AND WITH YOU HERE
IT'S STILL THE SAME

I SHOULDN'T FEEL LOST CUZ IF YOU WERE HERE WITH ME
IT WOULDN'T CHANGE AND YET WITH YOU GONE
I'M STILL THE SAME
-CHORUS-

02 BACK TO THE HURT (1986)

YOU REMEMBER THE TIMES WELL IN YOUR MIND
WHEN HE TURNED HIS BACK ON YOU
AND LEFT YOU WITH AN EMPTINESS INSIDE

NOW HE SAYS HE WAS WRONG
AND THE FEELING IS STRONG
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO MOVE ON HONEY
CUZ YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S WORTH
YOU'LL BE BACK TO THE HURT
AND WATCHING HIM SPEND YOUR MONEY
WITH HIS NIGHTS ON THE TOWN
AND HIS FOOLING AROUND
ALL WHILE YOU'RE SPENDING
YOUR NIGHTS ALL ALONE
HE SAYS IT'S ALRIGHT
BUT YOU KNOW HE'S ALL WRONG
YOU'VE BEEN DOING
ALRIGHT ON YOUR OWN

HE GIVES YOU THE LINES WELL MEMORIZED
DON'T EVEN LET HIM TOUCH YOU
DON'T LET HIM TEMPT YOU WITH HIS LONELY EYES
-CHORUS-

03 CAN'T HELP FEELING THIS WAY (1993)

WHEN I'M HOLDING YOU CLOSE
AND YOU'RE SEARCHING MY EYES
TELLING ME THINGS NOBODY KNOWS

I CAN'T HELP FEELING THIS WAY
WHEN I'M FEELING THIS WAY
NO I CAN'T HELP FEELING THIS WAY

WHEN I'M HOLDING YOU CLOSE
AND YOU'RE SEARCHING MY EYES
TAKING ME WHERE NOBODY GOES
-CHORUS-

04 WHO NEEDS YOUR LOVE (1984)

I DO, AND I NEED YOU
AND IF YOU'RE FEELING THAT NO ONE EVEN CARES
I WANT YOU TO KNOW I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE
AND IF I HAD TO LIVE WITHOUT YOUR LOVE
I WOULDN'T LIVE ANYWAY

WHO NEEDS YOUR LOVE?
WELL, I DO

I DO, AND I NEED YOU
AND WHEN YOU'RE FEELING LIKE EVERYTHING'S GOT YOU DOWN
I WANT YOU TO KNOW I'LL ALWAYS BE AROUND
AND IF I HAD TO LIVE WITHOUT YOUR LOVE
I WOULDN'T LIVE ANYHOW
-CHORUS-

AND IF I HAD TO LIVE WITHOUT YOUR LOVE
I WOULDN'T LIVE ANYHOW
-CHORUS-

05 LACK OF LOVE (1992)

SHE HAD NO REASON TO LEAVE MY LIFE
BUT SHE HAD NO REASON TO BELIEVE IN MINE

SHE SAID HER REASON TO LEAVE
WAS A LACK OF LOVE, OH?
SHE SAID THE BOND THAT WE HAD
WAS BOUND TO LET GO
SHE HAD NO REASON TO LEAVE

SHE HAD NO REASON TO STAY IN MY LIFE
AND SHE HAD NO REASON TO DELAY HER RIGHT
-CHORUS-
SHE HAD NO REASON TO LEAVE MY LIFE

06 THEY SAY THE HEART (1985)

OH MY LOVE WILL YOU REMEMBER ME WHEN I'M GONE?
AND WILL YOU WRITE ON THOSE NIGHTS WILL YOU THINK OF ME?

THEY SAY THE HEART GROWS FONDER
WHEN TWO KIDS IN LOVE ARE APART
THEY SAY THAT LOVE GROWS STRONGER
EVEN THOUGH DISTANCE PLAYS ITS PART
I BELIEVE THAT IT DOES

OH MY LOVE THE VOICE IS CALLING ME ON AND ON
AND IN THE NIGHT IN MY MIND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE
-CHORUS-

07 TO YOU ONLY (1987)

NEVER GONNA LET YOU GO
I'M GONNA HOLD YOU IN MY HEART FOREVER
JUST TO SHOW YOU JUST HOW I LOVE YOU
I'LL LOVE YOU 'TIL THE END OF TIME
DO ANYTHING TO MAKE YOU MINE

CUZ I BELONG TO YOU ONLY
AND YOU BELONG TO ME

YOU COULD MAKE MY DREAM COME TRUE
AND IF WE'RE BOTH DREAMING THE SAME DREAM
THEN DREAMING IS EASY
IT'LL COME TRUE EASY TOO
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE FOR ME
THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE
--CHORUS X3-

08 LINDY (1997)
(dedicated to the memory of
Lindy Omdahl, who was struck and killed
by a motor vehicle after exiting the
school bus in the 7th grade)

LINDY IS GONE
TOO LATE TO SAY I'M SORRY
FOR ALL THE CRUEL THINGS
I JOINED RIGHT IN
AND LINDY HAD WAYS
COULDN'T HELP BEING DIFFERENT
COULDN'T SING IN KEY
BUT MEANT EVERY WORD

FOUR WHEELS COULDN'T STOP
AND LINDY DIDN'T SEE
IN HER OWN SAFE WORLD
ALL THE TIME

LINDY FELL DOWN
MORE THAN ONE SOLEMN FACE
THE LESSON I LEARNED
STILL GUIDES ME IN SUBTLE WAYS
KILLING WORDS NOW STOP
EVERY TIME I SEE, LINDY
SOMEHOW, COULD I THANK YOU?

09 STOP (1999)

STOP RUNNING DOWN MY HIVE
YOU'RE RUNNING OVER MY LIFE
WITH YOUR WHEELS OF MEMORY
STOP MAKING ME FEEL LIKE THIS
MAKING ME MISS YOUR SWEET KISS
AND IT'S POISON MYSTERY
STOP, BUT YOU KEEP INJECTING ME
WHEN I WANT YOU TO STOP

SOMETHING IS MISSING WHEN
YOU'RE NOT AROUND
I CAN'T EXPLAIN
SOMETHING FEELS EMPTY
HERE INSIDED MY HEART
AND I'M WONDERING
WHEN IT'S GONNA STOP

STOP MAKING UP MY MIND
AND TELLING ME EVERYTIME
THAT IT'LL BE DIFFERENT
STOP TIPPING OVER MY TIME
AND MESSING UP MY MIND
WITH TALES ON INNOCENCE
STOP, BUT YOU KEEP ON SMOKING ME
WHEN I WANT YOU TO STOP
-CHORUS-

10 BEGIN TO BREATHE (2001)

I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO ME, LOVE
I WANDERED BEFORE IN THE DARKEST ROOM,
LOOKING FOR THE VIEW OF IT,
ONLY TO FIND MORE DARKNESS AND SOLID WALLS SURROUNDING.
IT WAS MY LIFE, CANVASSED THE WALLS,
IT WAS UNTIL YOU.
STANDING IN THE DOORWAY IN THE LIGHT,
I SOMEHOW SAW MYSELF MUCH HAPPIER THAN IN THE MIRROR.
YOU LET ME IN AND THANK YOU, THE ROOM IS BEAUTIFUL,
IT BEGINS TO BREATHE
IF I COULD GIVE TO YOU WHAT YOU ARE WORTH
IT WOULD STILL NOT BE ENOUGH
IF I COULD TELL YOU WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME
AND WHAT I MEAN TO SAY, THERE WOULD NOT BE TIME ENOUGH
FOR TIME IS CALLOUS, IT'S HANDS TAKE ME ON
BUT YOUR HANDS HAVE TAKEN ME HOME

11 SAID (1997)

WHEN YOU'RE GONE
I'LL HAVE ALL THE THINGS YOU'VE SAID TO ME
AND WHEN YOU'RE THROUGH
AND WHAT YOU'VE SAID IS ALL THAT'S LEFT OF YOU
AND NOT THOSE THINGS YOU QUIETLY THOUGHT I KNEW

SAY TO ME
SOME THINGS I DO ACTUALLY MAKE YOU HAPPY
AND SAY TO ME
SOMETIMES WITH ME ACTUALLY BRANG YOU LAUGHTER
CUZ I'M YOUR LOVED ONE NOT YOUR ENEMY
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE. SAY "THANKS" TO ME

WHILE YOU'RE HERE
I HEAR ALL THE THINGS YOU SAY TO ME
SHAPING ALL THE WAYS THAT I BELIEVE
AND WHAT YOU DO ONLY MATTERS 'TIL THE DAY IS THROUGH
AND EVENING SLEEP FOREVER COMES TO YOU SO
-CHORUS-
WHAT YOU DID WHAT YOU WERE
DOESN'T MATTER TO ME ANYMORE
AND WHAT YOU THOUGHT IS ALL FOR NAUGHT
DOESN'T OPEN ANY DOORS CUZ ALL I KNOW OF YOU
AND WHAT I HOLD FROM YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE
ARE ALL THE THINGS YOU'VE SAID TO ME
-CHORUS-

12 THROWN IT ALL AWAY (1987)

I'M FEELING DOWN THINKING HOW I GAVE MY BEST TO YOU
AND EVEN MORE I GAVE YOU ALL OF MY LOVE ALL OF MYSELF
BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH

NOW YOU'VE THROWN IT ALL AWAY

AND WHEN THE NIGHT COMES I GET SO LONELY
THINKING OF YOU OUT OF MY LIFE
I GAVE YOU ALL OF MY LOVE ALL OF MY TIME
BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH
-CHORUS-
YOU'RE OUT OF MY LIFE

13 ...UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN (2000)

OH I AIN'T GONNA SEE NO MORE SUNNY DAYS
WITH THESE CLOUDS IN MY EYES
AND FROM NOW ON EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE
IS GONNA LOOK SO DIFFERENT
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

AND LEAVING FOR YOU IS SO EASY
YOU AIN'T TAKING NOTHING
BUT YOU SEE I'M GONNA BE CARRYING THIS HEAVY LOAD
ON DOWN THE ROAD OF MY SOUL NOW DARLING
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN
ALL THE OLD SONGS AIN'T GONNA SOUND THE SAME, NO
AND UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN
I'LL BE STANDING IN THE MIRROR LOOKING AT SOMEONE TO BLAME
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

I'M GONNA BE RIGHT HERE LOOKING THE SAME
BUT LIVING MY LIFE OUT IN A DOWNPOURING RAIN
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN
I'M GONNA STAY RIGHT HERE FROZEN IN TIME
LIVING IN THE MEMORY OF YOUR LOVE AND MINE
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

THERE'S NOT A SINGLE THING IN THIS LIFE
TO REPLACE THE EMPTY FEELING
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

I AIN'T GOING NOWHERE WHILE I'M IN THIS CELL
JUST PLAYING THE PART OUT THAT I NOW KNOW SO WELL
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN
AND I'M GONNA STAY RIGHT HERE IN THIS STAGE
THINKING UP LITTLE THINGS THAT I CAN POSSIBLY RE-ARRANGE
UNTIL SEE YOU AGAIN

THERE'S NOT A SINGLE THING IN THIS LIFE
TO REPLACE THE EMPTY FEELING
UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

14 I WILL LOVE YOU ALL MY LIFE (1984)
"An interesting tidbit about this is that it actually has a unison vocal happening. One is partially buried under the other. The one that is underneath I power sang in my later Elvis voice. The top layer is a weaker smoother vocal. The mix makes for an interesting subliminal final vocal texture."

YOU COULD TAKE ME AWAY
SO FAR FROM THIS WORLD
JUST SAY THE WORDS
I CAN'T OFFER YOU MUCH
BUT I WOULD GIVE ALL
ALL OF ME

HOW CAN I TELL YOU HOW I FEEL INSIDE?
IN YOUR EYES I CAN SEE A PARADISE
AND IF I NEVER GET TO MAKE YOU MINE
IN MY HEART I WILL LOVE YOU ALL MY LIFE
IN MY HEART I WILL LOVE YOU ALL MY LIFE
