Lyrics
Goodbye to You
Written by ZACK SMITH
Those times I waited for you seem so long ago
I wanted you far too much to ever let you go
You know you never got by your fear to choose
And I guess I never could stand to lose
It's such a pity to say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holding on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
'Cause baby it's over now
No need to talk about it
It's not the same
My love for you's just not the same
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love won't stand the pain
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love...
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Now, could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
Yeah, I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holding on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye baby
So long darling
Goodbye to you

The Warrior
Words and music by NICK GILDER and HOLLY KNIGHT
You run, run, runaway it's your
Heart that you betray
Feeding on your hungry eyes
I bet you're not so civilized
Isn't love primitive a wild gift
You wanna give
Break out of captivity
And follow me stereo jungle child
Love is the kill your heart's still wild
chorus:
Shootin' at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang, I am the warrior
Yes I am the warrior
And heart to heart you win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior
You talk, talk, talk to me
Your eyes touch me physically
Stay with me, we'll take the night
As passion takes another bite
Oh, who's the hunter
Who's the game
I feel the beat call your name
I'll hold you close in victory
I don't wanna tame your animal style
You won't be caged
From the call of the wild
repeat chorus and fade

Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough
Words and music by PATTY SMYTH and GLEN BURTNIK
I don't wanna lose you,
I don't wanna use you
just to have sombody by my side
And I don't wanna hate you
I don't wanna take you
But I don't wanna be the one to cry
That don't really matter to anyone, anymore
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door
But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
Now I could never change you
I don't wanna blame you
Baby you don't have to take the fall
Yes I may have hurt you
But I did not desert you
Maybe I just want to have it all
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking something's gonna change
But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
And there's no way home
when it's late at night and you're all alone
Are there things that you wanted to say
Do you feel me beside you in your bed
there beside you where I used to lay
And there's a Danger in Loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch
There's a reason why people don't stay who they are
Cause baby sometimes love just ain't enough
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough

Look What Love Has Done
Written by CAROLE BAYER SAGER, JAMES INGRAM, JAMES NEWTON
HOWARD and PATTY SMYTH
I woke up this morning feeling lonely
There's so much my heart just does not understand
There were times when nothing really mattered
But now I find I care too much
There's life in everything I touch
Look what love has done to me
I am not who I used to be
Everything is changing, now we'll never be the same
Look at what love has done to us
Will we ever learn to trust
We're running out of time, there's so little time
Baby look what love has done to me
Oh, yeah
Now it's late at night, I'm here without you
I'm trying to make my way to where you are
Can't you see, I'll still be here waiting
Can't you see, our two hearts were always meant to be as one
Look at what love has done to us
When will we ever learn to trust
We're running out of time, there's so little time, baby
Will you look what love has done to me
I'm calling out your name, baby
Calling out, calling out, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now look at what love has done to us
When will we ever learn to trust
We're running out of time
There's so, so little time, baby
Oh, look what love has done
Baby look what love has done to me
Look what love has done
Done to me

Wish I Were You
Written by P. SMYTH-MCENROE and G. BURTNICK
Time goes by, I fall out of touch
I can't explain why I fall so much
I bought a pack of cigarettes
Sent an old Elvis stamp to your new address
The weather's here
Wish I was fine
Wish that you could read between the lines
You dream in colors
My night comes in black and blue
I'll send a postcard
Oh, how I wish that I were you
I am nothing, you are more
Than flesh and blood
A golden door
Let me come inside of you
Let me do the things I wanna do
Take me down to where you live
Take the things I cannot give
'Cause you dream in colors
My night comes in black and blue
I'll send a postcard
Oh, how I wish that I were you.
(Bridge)
You are like the ocean
I'm a river that's run dry
If you cannot reach me
All my wild flowers they will die
Take me down to where you live
Take the things I cannot give.
You dream in colors
My night comes in black and blue
I'll send a postcard
Oh, how I wish that I were you.

Grow So Wise
Written by ZACK SMITH, PATTY SMYTH and R. GOMEZ
Oh I wish I was a liar
And I wish you were a fool
I wish I could avoid the fire
Of your eyes that burn so true
And I wish I had the answers
To the questions that you raise
And I want to hold you closer
As I watch you vanish in the haze
But all it takes is one night to realize
I'm afraid to let you go
And all it takes is one look to see that I
I'm a fool who will never know
That love can make you grow so wise
Love can make you grow so wise
Love's a dream and love's a lie
But love can make you grow so wise
Oh I'd like to see tomorrow
I'd like to forget today
I want to ease your sorrow
But I just don't know what to say
Except that all it takes is one night to realize
That the damage comes fast in the darkness
All it takes is one night to see that I
I'm about to break your heart
But love can make you grow so wise
Love can make you grow so wise
Love's a dream and love's a lie
But love will make you grow so wise
(Bridge)
But all it takes is one night to realize
I'm afraid to let you go
And all it takes is one look to see that I
I'm just a fool who will never know
That love can make you grow so wise
Love can make you grow so wise
Yes, you will bleed but you won't die
Cause love will make you grow so wise
Love can make you grow so wise
Love can make you grow so wise
Love's a dream and love's a lie
But love can make you grow so wise
