Starting today Let's take this vow We gotta change things Right here and now Can't let our love Fall to the ground I promise to never let you down Every night I pray Wishing tomorrow's a better day It's gotta be for us There's no denying I'd rather fight or die trying It's gotta be for love No time for games Let's get to loving Time will ease the pain It's gotta be for us Yeah Remember you said we deserve to be free (we deserve to be free) And if things don't get better then we should just leave Truth is without us Life ain't complete Baby let's build together unselfishly Every night I pray Wishing tomorrow's a better day It's gotta be for us There's no denying I'd rather fight or die trying It's gotta be for love No time for games Let's get to loving Time will ease the pain Gotta be for us Gotta be for us I'd rather fight or die trying Gotta be for us No time for games Gotta be for us Gotta be for us Look in my eyes Do you believe me If we got each other that's all we need No more turning back As we proceed Let's build a love for the whole world to see It's gotta be for us There's no denying I'd rather fight or die trying It's gotta be for love No time for games Let's get to loving Time will ease the pain It's gotta be for us Look in my eyes Gotta be for us Do you believe baby?

You went from my home to It was nice to know you And it breaks my heart That we gave it our best shot Now I'm in California I'm still waiting for ya Will you change your mind I would give it all up For us Ooooh I wish I could stay with you Ooooh I wish I could stay with you Come before it's too late I got things to say Before I go There's no time to wait We can hide away Need to let you know that Ooooh I wish I could stay with you (I wish I could stay with you) Ooooh know that I would wait for you (Know that I would wait for you) You went from my home to It was nice to know you And it breaks my heart That we gave it our best shot Now you're in California I'm still waiting for ya Will you change your mind I would give it all up For us

I know they want my songs; want me to sing Even if my marriage is failing There isn't enough fresh air left this spring To fill the room I love to sit and be In the thin apron of theatre light I pretend to be relevant even kind For the eyes and faces lost there in the dark They applause makes me think I lit a spark For the singer; there's the stage Just like you it calls me; just like you it waits Morning comes and I'm all emptied out That wisdom lived last night now lost in doubt My words are tested on my closest few I'm sorry loves for sinning against you For the singer; there's the stage Just like you it calls me; just like you it waits It leaves me wondering about my life; who've been singing for this whole time I've lost and found myself on those old keys A hundred times, oh Lord, been on my knees For the singer; there's the stage Just like you it calls me; just like you it waits For the singer; there's the stage Just like you it calls me; just like you it waits

Everywhere you want I always go I always give in because, babe, you know You just say so, cause you give me that feeling inside That I know, I must be right It's the singer, not the song It's not the way you give in willingly Others do it without thrilling me Giving me that, same old, feeling inside That I know, I must be right It's the singer, not the song The same old places and the same old songs We've been going there for much too long There's something wrong and it gives me that feeling inside That I know, I must be right It's the singer, not the song It's the singer, not the song It's the singer, not the song

It's just another summer You hear a different drummer You're looking for a way to check out from this grind You wrestle with temptation Your job is sheer frustration 'Cause there's a lifetime chance you've yet to find Still you wonder if you've got the clout To make it happen in this cold-hearted town And you're feelin' that you're trapped You wonder should you just stop tryin' Well, take a message from the man Who's not afraid to come on strong When there's magic in the music It's the singer not the song When it's comin' from the heart All the people sing along It's the man behind the music It's the singer not the song Inside you heart is achin' There's challenge for the taking So shoot it from the hip Believe in what you say You're calling this your best fight You're looking for the limelight Reachin' for a star to guide you on your way Still you wonder if you've got the clout To make it happen in this cold-hearted town And you're feelin' that you're trapped You wonder should you just stop tryin' Well, give the glory to the man Who's not afraid to come on strong When there's magic in the music It's the singer not the song When it's comin' from the heart All the people sing along It's the man behind the music It's the singer not the song Well, give the glory to the man Who's not afraid to come on strong When there's magic in the music It's the singer not the song When it's comin' from the heart All the people sing along It's the man behind the music It's the singer not the song
