You Were Always On My Mind

Maybe I didn't love you quite as good as I should have,
Maybe I didn't hold you quite as often as I could have,
Little things I should have said and done,
I just never took the time.

You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind.

Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely times,
And I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that you're mine,
If I made you feel second best,
I'm sorry, I was blind.

You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind,

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died,
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied,
If I made you feel second best,
I'm sorry, I was blind.

You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind.

I Believe In A Thing Called Love

Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel
My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel

Touching you, touching me
Touching you, god you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!

I wanna kiss you every minute, every hour, every day
You got me in a spin but everythin' is A. OK!

Touching you, touching me
Touching you, god you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh! Guitar!

Touching you, touching me
Touching you, god you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!

Bottle Talk

Yeah, living in my rented room, I sharply had a fall
I fell into a bottle, and no-one heard my call
And my father said,
"Why do u think that you stumbled into this bottle that you fell?",
And I says
"Father I think I lost my balance throwing pennies in the holy well".

Into the bottle you can fall and there be no one there at all
Well you can whine and you can pray, but it's up to you to say no way

I came across a friend of mine who had, plunged and sank deep down
And I wondered if I knew him, because his mind had turned around
So I sat for a while with this stranger, he was a shell of what he'd once been
And I thought of all the alcohol and all the pain and greed that I've seen

Into the bottle you can fall and there be no one there at all
Well you can whine and you can pray, but it's up to you to say no way
No way,

Mothers all around the world try to teach your children to stay
To stay well away from the bottle, if you don't to watch decay
Decay of the mind and the soul as well, there's no need to go through that pain
Mothers you wanted your children not to drown in the acid rain

Into the bottle you can fall and there be no one there at all
Well you can whine and you can pray, it's up to you, yes it is
It's up to you, oooh yes it is,
It's up to you yes it is,
It's up to you's, to say no way
No waaay...
No waaay...Nah nah nah
