Available Lyrics

Compassion

( 1st verse )
I can see the suffering that you're going through
story's written - all across your face
You don't have to say it baby - I can see the truth
such a good thing - all gone to waste

From the very start you tried to give your all 'n all
hoping some day - things would change
Never wanting any more than love in return
but being made to feel your love was in vain

B sect.
You don't have to be so insecure -I'll be right there if you fall
There's no doubt that I can be the cure -I'm telling you baby

Chorus
If tenderness is what you miss
let me turn you on to this --- Compassion
When love is what you really need
let me be the one to please you with --- Compassion

If soft is what you want to feel
I can give you something real --- Compassion
My love is only what is true
something meant to comfort you with --- Compassion

( 2nd verse )
I know that your love life is full of ups and downs
I can hear it every time you speak
Giving what you thought was the best of your love
But all it ever did was - make you weak

There's a time when you have to let it go baby
cause it leaves you with nowhere to turn
If you lose it - you haven't lost a thing
chalk it up - as a lesson learned

*B sect.
There's no need for you to feel this way
cause I'm standing right here by your side
You don't have to go another day - doing it alone
(Chorus Out)

Tease Me

( 1st verse )
We're face to face - in this special time and place
I want to be close to you - but I don't know what to do
I sit here watching time - while the words of love slip my mind
Please baby - won't you come to my rescue

Chorus
I want you to --- tease me
Put me in the mood for loving you
I feel the need for love

Tease me --- put me in the mood for loving you
I feel the need for love

( 2nd verse )
It's just the two of us - lost inside this love
My hands reach out in spite - and I don't know if it's right
I want to understand - but my mind won't take the chance
Please baby - help me through this night

(Chorus)

B sect.
Never dreamed that loving you could make me feel this way
And it just gets stronger from day to day
One loving touch form you and the walls come tumbling down
And this always seem to happen every time you come around

( 3rd verse )
Now it's time to go - and my body's moving slow
cause leaving such a hard thing to do
when I'm feeling the need - for loving you

(Chorus Out)

Lonley Heart

( 1st verse )
Lately I've - seen a change in you
caught up in the pain - and you don't know what to do
Reaching out - just so you can be a part
but living in the fear of a broken heart

Love can hurt you - when you keep it to yourself
trusting only you believing no one else
There's no need to run and hide
I only want to rectify - the pain you feel inside

B sect.
Let me love you through the night
Be the one to change your life
Let me take away all your pain
There's so much for you to gain

Chorus
I wanna touch your lonely heart - with a love of my own
I wanna touch your lonely heart - with a love of my own
I wanna do the things that please you - make you feel at home
I wanna touch your lonely heart - with a love of my own

( 2nd verse )
You deserve the very best
seems all of your life was spent - trying to past the test
Staying to yourself can really be a bore
I only want to give you love - and so much more

There are so days - I can only think of you
Challenged by the notion of what you're going through
I want to be there for the magic start
Let me work this miracle - inside your heart

B sect.
Let me be your guiding light
Do the things to make it right
I can take away - all your pain
There's so much for you to gain

(Chorus Out)

Easier Said Than Done

( 1st verse )
Thinking back to what it use to be
I get the feeling I'm wasting my time
Never had to work this hard in my life
Just to pacify the thoughts in my mind

B sect.
Something keeps saying you better take hold
or a price you will pay
But that's always the risk when you love and I've made
Up my mind that's a price that I'm willing to pay

(1st Half of Chorus)

Chorus
Ask me the question - I'll tell you no lie
love is easier said than done
Loving is more than just a kiss in the night
cause it's easier said than done

Got to take it one day at a time
love is easier said than done
I'm finding it's more than just a - state of mind
cause it's easier said than done

( 2nd verse )
Never felt that I could ever love
someone who drifted in and out of my life
I always thought if it was serious
You just do the things to make it feel right

*B sect.
But sometimes we give of ourselves just to find
it was only a game
But that's always the risk when you love
and I've made up my mind just to learn to live with the pain

(Chorus - Solo - Chorus Out)

Love You to the Limit

( 1st verse )
I wouldn't be mistaken - if I said you took me by surprise
My world took new direction - the day you caught my eye

I could never slow my love for you honey - even if I wanted to
Cause you know it don't come easy - good love
ain't an easy an easy thing to do

B sect.
I want to be your sunshine in the morning
and the reason for your easy nights
Fill your world with love and comfort
be the best thing ever - in your life --- I want to

Chorus
Love you to the limit - love you to the wall
Give you every thing I got baby - give you my all ‘n all
Love you to the limit - love you to the mountaintop
Once we get there baby - we're never gonna come down

Love you to the limit - love you to the wall
I'm gonna be there for you - any time you call
Love you to the limit - love you for the rest of my life
Open arms for you honey - everyday and night

( 2nd verse )
Move a little closer- let me tell you what you wanna hear
I can't change you way of thinking baby --
I can only take away your fear

There's so much I want to do for you honey - only if you want me to
Cause you know it don't come easy - good love ain't an easy thing to do

B sect.
Let be the one you turn to
When you're feeling like you really need
Pour out all my loving on you
hold nothing back give you all of me

(Chorus - Solo Chorus Out)

Don't Ask My Neighbor

( 1st verse )
You're wondering if - I care about you
Is there some cause - that I - should doubt you

Oh I can see girl - that you don't know me very well
You're so unsure ----

You run here and there - to ask my feelings
Friends only guess - they can't - say really

Chorus
Don't ask my neighbor
Don't ask my friends I hang around

Don't be afraid -- come to me --- (come to me)
Don't ask my neighbor --- (don't ask my neighbor)

Come to me --- (come to me)
Don't be afraid ---

( 2nd verse )
You ask all my friends - if I'm the same (girl)
You don't understand - you think I'm changing

(Chorus)

Chorus Out
Don't ask my neighbor
Don't ask my friends I hang around
Don't ask my neighbor ---

I Won't Stop

( 1st verse )
When I stop and think about your love
There's a joy in my heart - and it's telling me I
could never live a day without your love - and I know it's no lie - girl

You are all of every reason - I could ever want to live - baby
The more I learn from loving you ---
the more you want to give

B sect.
I cannot express to you - what I feel deep in my heart
and I'm wanting you to know
That it's been like this from the very start

(1st half of Chorus)

Chorus
And I won't stop - holding you close
I'm here to give love - not letting go
No I won't stop - ‘til you have what you need
right by your side hold on to me

No I won't stop - being a friend
It's you that I need - from beginning to end
No I won't stop - there won't be a time
I'm here when you call - I made up my mind

( 2nd verse )
There could never be another love
do the things that you do - and you know this is true
All the joy I could ever hope to find - is right here with you

Don't you know - you make it easy
to give of my self - to want no one else
And I'll always be here to love you - as I'm sure time will tell

B sect.
I just want to let you know - that I keep you - close to my heart
Girl this love is nothing new -
It's been like this from the very start

(Chorus Out)

I'll follow you - and you'll always know -

I'll follow you to the end of the earth -
I'll follow you forever

I'll follow you for whatever it's worth -
My love for you is forever

I'll follow you forever

I'll follow you just to hear you say -

But how can you have - what you just won't claim
