Front Door Man

I have never seen your house from the street
I have to climb this tree each night we meet
I love you girl but I feel incomplete
why can't I be your front door man
I'm getting sick of all this sneaking around
would it be so bad if we were found, oh girl
I love you but I feel sorrow bound
why can't I be your front door man
is it because you're no good that I don't think that we should
is it because I'm ashamed, or are we just playing games
is it because I have doubts whether our love will work out
or do I have second thoughts because I've loved and I've lost
is it because you are saved and Daddy thinks I'm depraved
don't let him force your hand, and let me be your front door man
baby tell me what it's gonna be
I've got to choose you or my secrecy
answer the question that's bee puzzling me
why can't I be your front door man
man ought not be lonely when his love is near
but I know I'm not the only one with fears
but I'm crying sad and lonely, lonely tears
why can't I be your front door man
is it because of your friends that we've been paying pretend
or are you scared to say 'yes' because you might find success
darlin' we won't have to hide if you'll just swallow your pride
why don't you give me it straight 'cause there's no more time to waste
is it because you are saved and Daddy thinks I'm depraved
don't let him force your hand, and let me be your front door
and let me be your front door

Love Me
03:33

why don't you tell me what you think I'm tired of being alone
I need some casual conversation
are you the right one for a hopeful romantic I won't disappoint
you might be pleasantly surprised
I've never ever done this before but it's time for a change
got to get off this dating merry-go-round
can't meet good people anymore, I'm restless as can be
and I'm longing for some company
well now we could take it slow, dinner and a show
we could talk the night away
do you like to dance, no matter what the plans
all I really want to say
is won't you love me
won't you love me
well I'm not asking for forever, just to have a few laughs
a sense of humor keeps us feeling young
oh, to meet someone caring, charming, witty, down-to-earth
who enjoys all of the simple things
come share your future with me, we could build memories
we could have some chemistry if you just drop me a line
have some fun, take a chance, you could use a new romance
oh the possibilities
well I'm a single man, single mother, easy-going, homeowner
free spirit, gentleman, mysterious in black
sexy sixty, feisty fifty, forty, thirty, twenty, flirty
playmate, soulmate, lover maybe
so won't you love me
won't you love me
love me

Hypnotized by the highway in your eyes
Miles before we realize
we don't know quite how we got here
You hold my hand and say 'don't you fear'
I've driven nights and had the future in my sights
Like a deer in my headlights
Suddenly it would appear
Tomorrow's another day don't you fear
What's coming down the line
What's coming down the line
We have the drive to do more than just survive
Knowing not when we'll arrive
Knowing only that we're near
We are well on our way don't you fear
Rough roads ahead, that's how every sign has read
We could turn around instead
I know the way is never clear
But I won't lead you astray don't you fear
What's coming down the line
What's coming down the line

No One Knows
04:14

why do you seem so sad, what have you got on your mind
tell me the news, we've all got blues sometimes
now don't you quit on me, don't let those high hopes drop
you've got an ache, don't let it make you stop
'cause these are tough, tough times to get ahead anywhere
you've got it bad but we've all had our share
yeah you made one wrong move, just a simple mistake
don't think you're done just 'cause of one bad break
we've all had times like those
no one knows just what to do in every situation
no one knows just what to do in every situation
it's all improvisation
just playin' it by ear, just playin' it by ear
so you let your big, fat mouth say what you felt aloud
while feeling hurt and overworked you let it out
no one always thinks things through, but you can't take it back
you may as well just cut yourself some slack
and darlin' don't cry
nobody knows everything
sleep tight
nobody knows everything
it's alright
nobody knows everything
just playin' it by ear
'cause everybody knows just how you feel
everybody knows just how you feel
everybody knows just how you feel
you're not alone, you're not alone

Nora, Nora, we've been spared
your folly's on the fire
the trouble's gone, not anyone
can say you were a liar
take off those fancy clothes
I swear I've pardoned you
depend on me, you'll surely see
that I will pull us through
down a long, long, road
it's a long, long, road
how can you say our love
was nothing but a game
if that's your view I promise you
that things won't be the same
I won't just let you go now
what will people say
out on your own, your life disowned
you choose the hardest way
and you can leave me in the morning light
don't go out tonight now
leave me in the morning light
we can set it right
leave me in the morning light
Nora
oh, what have I done
I'll become a different man now
just as you must change
but if you go, I just don't know
how I'll live a life so strange
can you ever think of me
more than now and then
and if I learn will you return
and be my love again
oh just give me one more night one more night
and you can leave me in the morning light
don't go out tonight now
leave me in the morning light
we can set it right
leave me in the morning light
and you can leave me in the morning light
don't go out tonight now
leave me in the morning light
we can set it right
leave me in the morning light

True Affection

I'm on a quest to find true affection
I know I'm heading in the right direction
I'm no fool I don't seek perfection
I'm on a quest to find true affection
I'm on a quest to find true affection
I just want to make a strong connection
I've given up on sad self-reflection
I'm on a quest to find true affection
no more game, no more lies
no more tricks, no more disguise
time has come, I'm moving on
overdue, it's time I found what's true affection
I'm on a quest to find true affection
I tore down walls I built for my protection
I've got no reason to fear rejection
'cause I'm on a quest to find true affection
take it from me, there's more we can be
take it from me, there's more we can see
oh, take it from me, I want to give it to you
take it from me, I want to give you true affection
I'm on a quest to find true affection
