Shaman's call

Indian spirits

When a man loves a woman


When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If she's bad he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he put her down

When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comfort
Sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be

Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can't ever see

When a man loves a woman
He can do no wrong
He can never own some other girl
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world

When a man loves a woman.....

Michael Bolton - Can I Touch You There



Baby, show me what you feel
Come to me, show me somethin' real
I need to know, I need you completely
Come on closer
Our Love is taking over, gotta let it in

And I need to feel the heart of you
I need to reach the very deepest part of you

Can I touch you there, touch you deep inside?
Can I touch your heart, the way
you're touching mine?
Can I touch you there, touch you deep within?
Can I touch you there?
Can I touch you there?

Baby, tell me with your eyes
Tell me every secret
Every deep desire
Till you and I, are making love completely

Come on closer
Can't help the way I hold you
Just hunger for your love

And I need to feel the heart of you
I Need to reach the very deepest part of you

Can I touch you there, touch you deep inside?
Can I touch your heart, the way
you're touching mine?
Can I touch you there, touch you deep within?
Can I touch you there?
Can I touch you there?

And I need to feel the heart of you
I've need to reach the very deepest part of you
Let me be the one to show you just what love can do

Can I touch you there, touch you deep inside?
Can I touch your heart, the way
you're touching mine?
Can I touch you there, touch you deep within?
Can I touch you there?
Can I touch you there?

You'll Think Of Me



I woke up early this morning around 4am
With the moon shining bright as
headlights on the interstate
I pulled the covers over my head and
tried to catch some sleep
But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake
Ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms
I've been tryin' my best to get along
But that's OK
There's nothing left to say, but

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me

I went out driving trying to clear my head
I tried to sweep out all the
ruins that my emotions left
I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this
And all the baggage that seems to still exist
It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is not knowing what we could have been
What we should have been
So
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/2OC3 ]

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me

Someday I'm gonna run across your mind
Don't worry, I'll be fine
I'm gonna be alright
While you're sleeping with your pride
Wishing I could hold you tight
I'll be over you
And on with my life

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need'em
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need'em
Take your space and all your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we got nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me, yeah

And you're gonna think of me
Oh someday baby, someday
