Nothing Can Shake Me (From Your Love)

Song lyrics below.

As Soon As Love Finds Me

I’ve been holdin’ out
I’ve been hiding from the light
Sneakin’ down the back streets
Sneakin’ down the backstreets
But no longer, can hide my eyes
From the city nights

And soon as love finds me I will go
No I won’t, say no
As soon as love finds me (when it finds me)
I will go

Now I’ve had my share
of one night affairs
When I was a little younger
(just a little younger)
Well it wasn’t love
But we really didn’t care
It was close enough

And soon as love finds me I will go
No I won’t, say no
As soon as love finds me (when it finds me)
I will go

All my life I pretended ya know
I’d go through the motions
It’s never been love
It’s always been wrong, it’s gotta be
Right on the time this time
I need, deep devotion
It’s gonna be real emotion
Or I refuse to go

I’ve been holdin’ out
I’ve been hiding from the light
Sneakin’ down the back streets
Sneakin’ down the backstreets
But no longer, can hide my eyes
From the city nights

And soon as love finds me I will go
No I won’t, say no
As soon as love finds me (when it finds me)
I will go

I will go

Youngblood

I know what she’s doin’
I saw it comin from the start
I’ve watched her in motion
She’s aimin right for my heart
Guess I should know better
But it’s hard to refuse
She’s got it down to the letter

Youngblood,
Struttin’ like a school girl
Cocksure, got no doubt on her mind
She always gets what she wants
She gonna get what she needs

Oooh, Eyes like crazy diamonds
Shinin’ like a cat in the dark
The way she’s put together
Always seems to tear me apart
Sneakin up behind me
She pulls me deeper under the
spell of her..

Youngblood,
Struttin’ like a school girl
Cocksure, got no doubt on her mind
She always gets what she wants
She gonna get what she needs

She, she’s not yet a woman
But she’s got the power,
If you allow her
Under your skin, she’s tyin’ her
love to your soul
Soon she’ll be takin’ control
She’s just a

Youngblood,
Struttin’ like a school girl
Cocksure, got no doubt on her mind
She always gets what she wants
She gonna get what she needs

With her youngblood, she wraps
it all around you
So tight, that I’m powerless to leave
I’m burning hot
Just get a shot of that
Youngblood, youngblood

Love Has Got Me

I tried to resist you in the beginning
Your fire was too hot to fight
You looked into me the flame shot through me
The victory is in sight tonight

Love has got me, this I know
Love has got me, won’t let go
Feel the fire in my soul
Love has got me, love has got me

Don’t let go

Baby be careful don’t get me excited
I’m on a mighty short fuse
The least indication will get me ignited
There’s just no way to refuse tonight

Love has got me, this I know
Love has got me, won’t let go
Feel the fire in my soul
Love has got me, love has got me

As sure as the stars are shining
I thought I would never fall in love
I gave my life to freedom
But looks like love has got me now

Love has got me, this I know
Love has got me, won’t let go
Feel the fire in my soul
Love has got me, love has got me

Somewhere in America

Somewhere…

Hey girl. help me if you can
I’m coming to you with my heart in my hand
Give me love, I’m starved for affection
All I need is just a little direction

Wow
Somewhere in America,
somewhere cross the sea
Somewhere in America,
she waits for me

I need a teacher who can use a pet
Give me a lesson in etiquette
If there is anyone who’d like to try
Maybe she’d like to come and teach me tonight

Wow
Somewhere in America,
somewhere cross the sea
Somewhere in America,
she waits for me

Same old story, same old song and dance
What good is the glory, if you can’t find romance
I know she is waiting
Ooh, somewhere in the heartland
And if she’s out there tonight
I wish she would raise her hand

Hey girl. help me if you can
I’m coming to you with my heart in my hand
Give me love, I’m starved for affection
All I need is just a little direction

Wow
Somewhere in America,
somewhere cross the sea
Somewhere in America,
she waits for me
Somewhere in America….

Let It Be Now

I’ve been waitin, tired of waitin
For your song, your love song
Time just drags by anticipatin
So much good love has come and gone

And every minute we spend apart
Is just time on my hands
It’s breakin’ my heart
Won’t you please, please?

Let it be now, I can’t wait forever, no
Let it be now, I need you today, girl
Girl will you ever know? Let it be now

Well, I get hungry, so damn hungry
For your love, your sweet love
Are you teasin’ me for a reason?
Need to know, why so slow?

And every minute we spend apart
Is just time on my hands
It’s breakin’ my heart
Won’t you please, please?

Let it be now, I can’t wait forever, no
Let it be now, I need you today

And every minute we spend apart
Is just time on my hands
It’s breakin’ my heart
Won’t you please, please?

Let it be now, I can’t wait forever, no
Let it be now, I need you today
Girl will you ever know? Let it be now

My love won’t wait, my love won’t wait
My love won’t wait, my love won’t wait
My love won’t

Whole Town’s Talkin’

Don’t you try to make amends
The damage has been done
Don’t expect to part as friends
The battle’s just begun
I waited at your beck and call
My world turned all around you
I should of known the day I found you
You’d be leaving me behind

The whole town,
The whole town’s talkin’
The whole town
The whole town,
The whole town’s talkin’
The whole town

They’re starin’ as I’m passin’ by
how can they be so cold?
They’re whisperin’ that I’m the guy
I don’t need to be told
Remember all the days in love
how could you run to strangers?
Well I knew I was in danger
When it happened overnight

The whole town,
The whole town’s talkin’
The whole town
The whole town,
The whole town’s talkin’

The whole town

Now don’t you try to make amends
The damage has been done
And don’t expect to part as friends
The battle’s just begun
I waited at your beck and call
My world turned all around you
I should of known the day I found you
You’d be leaving me behind

The whole town,
The whole town’s talkin’
The whole town
The whole town,
The whole town’s talkin’
The whole town

20/20

You dress so formal like you don’t even know
Whatcha got underneath it
Your straight-laced morals are just for show
Cause I know thatcha need it
I got you in my sites
Ya know I’m gonna give ya my best shot tonight

Cause I can see 20/20
You just can’t disguise
Oooh, the fire in your eyes 20/20
There’s no way to hide
From my sweet love tonight

So educated that you think you’re above
My street wise emotion
So old fashioned when it comes to love
You talk of devotion
I don’t wanna change your life
What I really want is your love for the night

Cause I can see 20/20
You just can’t disguise
Oooh, the fire in your eyes 20/20
There’s no way to hide
From my sweet love tonight

Oooh, you know I can see you
I’m seem’ right through you
oh you know that I want you
I want you tonight

Cause I can see 20/20
You just can’t disguise
Oooh, the fire in your eyes 20/20
There’s no way to hide
From my sweet love tonight

Freelance

I’ve lived my life in my own way
I’ve made my name with ladies like you
I’m a fine red-blooded love machine
Shootin’ straight and talkin’ mean, I leave ’em right on cue

Hey but one thing you must realize
Even when you fantasize
My love is just a dead-end street

‘Cause I’m freelance
(Freelance)
Ooh, I need no company
Well I need a freehand, that’s the way it’s gonna be
I’m freelance

You’ve seen my kind, but you know I’m blind
To the rules of modern romance
I’m a full-tilt rocker to the max, drivin’ hard and livin’ fast
Your heart won’t stand a chance

So, so while you still can turn around
Before I bring the curtain down
Maybe you best find the door

‘Cause I’m freelance
(Freelance)
Ooh, I need no company
Oh I need a freehand, that’s the way it’s gonna be
I’m freelance

‘Cause I’m freelance
(Freelance)
Ooh, I need no company
Well I need a freehand, that’s the way it’s gonna be

Oh now, know that I’m freelance
(Freelance)
Ooh, I need no company
Well I need a freehand, that’s the way it’s gonna be

Oh yeah know that I’m free
(Freelance)
Yes I’m freelance

Nothing Can Shake Me (From Your Love)

In this room
With the light of the sun in my eyes
I am blind
Can’t recall
Where I am or what I did last night
Though I try and I try

Nothing can shake me from your love
It’s true
No one can make me feel the things you do
Oh no, oh no

In the street I can feel people stare,
Stare me down
I’m lookin’ back
Just to see if I lost you somewhere
But you’re nowhere around

Nothing can shake me from your love
It’s true
No one can make me feel the things you do
Oh no, oh no

Turnin’ over the city,
Just searchin for you
Ravin like a, a mad man
Is there anybody left,
In this whole damn town
To take pity on a sad man
Lord help me through this
Yeah, help me through this
I just can’t make it this way
Please help me find her
Yes help me find her
Somewhere, somehow, someway

In the night
With the moon and the stars high above
I can see
It’s so strange
Though there’s no rhyme or reason for love
Still it makes you its slave

Nothing can shake me from your love
It’s true
No one can make me feel the things you do
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no
Oh no
