Missing Pieces Lyrics
What Becomes of the Broken Hearted
(Dean/Riser/Weatherspoon)
As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
Now, what becomes of the broken hearted
Who have love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Help me, please
Fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come tumbling down
Every day heartache's growing stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and praying for someone who cares
Always moving but going nowhere
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who have love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Help me, please
I'm searching though I don't succeed
Somewhere love is a growing need
All is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
Now what becomes of the broken hearted
Who have love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care
I'll be looking every day
I know I've got to find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
I'll be searching everywhere
I know I'll find someone who cares
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
Baby Please Come Home
(Lyon)
All my love
Baby, I'm still here by the telephone
Hoping you got my message, darling
I'm hoping you'll call me
Oh, I miss your smile, I miss your warmth
If I could only feel your touch
Well I want you to know I'll never let you go
Oh, I miss you so much
Baby please come home
Come on home
Baby, baby please come home
Baby, baby please come home
Your friends say that emptiness fills you every day
I feel the same way too now
Since we went our separate ways
I miss your smile, I miss your warmth
If I could only feel your touch
Well I want you to know I'll never let you go
Oh, I miss you so much yea
Baby, baby please come home
Just say it baby
Baby, baby please come home
Can't you hear me sayin'
Baby, baby please come home
I really don't believe I can take another day
Without you near me, no no
I'm only a man, tryin' to understand
Can't you hear me baby,
I'm talking to you
Baby please come home
Say it
Baby, mama please come home
Won't you please come home yea
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
I want you to come back
Turn yourself back on 'round baby
Please come home
I'm begging on my knees
Baby please come home
Drawn to the Flame
(Rush/Rosenberg)
Darkness falls everywhere
I feel lonely, cold and bare
Wrap me up and keep me warm, baby
Ooh ooh baby
Your lips bend when they touch
I get those chills I love so much
Your eyes are pulling me into your arms
Drawn to the flame
Drawn to the flame
Pulled into the fire
Drawn to the flame
I feel it all night long
I'm so weak, you're so strong
You can take whatever you need from me, baby
Yes baby
Just one whisper and one caress
Just one kiss with tenderness
It sends me flying right into your arms
Drawn to the flame
Drawn to the flame
Pulled into the fire
Drawn to the flame
Drawn to the flame
Drawn to the flame
Pulled into that fire
Drawn to the flame
Yes I am
Hey Girl
(Goffin/King)
Hey, girl, I want you to know
I'm gonna miss you so much if you go, yes I will
And hey, girl, I tell you no lie
Something deep inside of me's going to die (bye bye baby)
If you say "So long" (bye bye baby)
If this is "Goodbye" (bye bye baby)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, girl, no this can't be true
How am I, how am I supposed to exist without you?
Hey, girl, now don't put me on
What's gonna happen to me when you're gone? (bye bye baby)
How will I live? (bye bye baby)
Tell me how can I go on? (bye bye baby)
Tell me how can I go on?
Hey, girl
Oh hey, girl, now sit yourself down
I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed to get down on the ground (bye
bye baby)
And beg (bye bye baby), beg you to stay (bye bye baby)
So don't go away (bye bye baby)
Hey, girl (bye bye baby)
now now please, now now please don't go away (bye bye baby)
Hey, girl (bye bye baby)
I'm begging you darling
Please don't go away
Please stay, please stay, stay girl
Say you'll stay with me, baby
Cause I need you so bad sometimes
It's just about due time, baby
Yes it is, yes it is, yes it is, baby
Hey, girl
Can't you hear me calling, baby
Can't you hear me, baby
Hey, girl
I Can't Live Without Love
(B. Rush/J. Lyon)
Battle is all over
Peace has settled in
I will never hear
Your sweet voice again
Hind sight is 20-20
Love's a 50-50 thing
Now I see your love was everything
You turned out the light
When you walked out the door
Now I've got the freedom
I never wanted before
The world is a prison
Locked outside your heart
Put away your tenderness
Put away your happiness
All that's left and all that remains
Is time and emptiness
I - I can't live, I can't live without love
I - I can't live, no, I can't live without love
I don't feel strong now
I feel so insecure
I try standing up like a man
But I can't get off the floor
Sometimes words can't fit
The things you want to say
It should have been so simply, baby
To beg you to stay
Time isn't healing
My heart like it should
I try to drink away the pain
But it does me no good
I bury myself with work
But it's just no use
There's no inspiration
No determination
All that's left and all that remains
Is time and emptiness
I - I can't live, I can't live without love
I - I can't live, no baby, I can't live without love
I - I can't live, baby, I can't live without love
Without love
Baby, I can't live without love
Without your love
I need your sweet love
I just gotta say
I - I can't live, baby, I can't live without love
Oh, I - I can't live, baby, I can't live without love
Say I - I can't live, baby, I, I, I, I, I just can't live
without love
Your love, your true love
Your love, your love, your love
Your love, your love
Give it up now, baby, your love
Give me your love
Give me your love

Whiter Shade of Pale
(Reed/Brooker)
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
The crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought the tray
And so it was later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said: "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see"
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were opened
They might just as well be closed
And so it was later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was that later
Ooh, as the Miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was later
Ooh as the Miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter
Turned a whiter shade of pale
Trick
(Lyon/Rush)
I've tried playing Pacino and DiNero
That girl couldn't care less
I gave her rubies and charms
They were dripping off her arms
Still not one inch of progress
Baby what can I do
To get my hands on you?
I've tried every trick on that girl
Every hard-boiled scheme in the world
I've tried every trick on that girl
But she wouldn't fall for nothing
No no
So I tried being natural
A dirty rascal
But um, that didn't work
So I goodie-goodied her
Like a sweet talking angel
But she wouldn't hear a word
Not one word
Tell me what can I do?
I need a little taste of you
I've tried every trick on that girl
Every hard-boiled scheme in the world
I've tried every trick on that girl
But she wouldn't fall for nothing
Can you believe it?
I tried all my best moves
My lines and grooves
The girl would even look
I tried to attract her with honey
And bait her with money
She wouldn't bite on my hook
What in the world can I do?
I've got to get next to you
I've tried every trick on that girl
Every hard-boiled scheme in the world
I know that I have
I've tried every trick on that girl
But she wouldn't fall for nothing
Not one thing
My my my oh my
"I'm hungry," said the spider to the fly
I've tried every trick on that girl
Every hard-boiled scheme in the world
You know
I've tried every trick on that girl
But she wouldn't fall for nothing
I personally can't believe it
I've tried every trick on that girl
Every hard-boiled scheme in the world
Don't you know that
I've tried every trick on that girl
But she wouldn't fall for nothing
She's crazy!
I've tried every trick on that girl
(Hell, I'd fall for me!)
Every hard-boiled scheme in the world
(I'm every thing I every dreamed of)
I've tried every trick on that girl
(And I've got muscles too)
But she wouldn't fall for nothing
(That's alright baby
You can just walk on)
Bedtime
(Lyon/Rush)
Ooh, baby, let's not pretend
Neither of us needs another part-time friend
Right about now is the time to take a chance
Ah, baby, you know it is the truth
Both of us know what the other's been through
But this don't seem like the same old song and dance
Ah baby, it's bedtime
But that don't mean it's got to be the last time
You know love doesn't have to stop at bedtime
I want this love to last for all time
I know you long to hold on tight
But you're frightened by the laughter in the lonely night
Coming from a lover, who became a total stranger
Ah, baby, it's bedtime
But that don't mean it's got to be the last time
You know love doesn't stop at bedtime
I want this love that lasts for all time
I will never run away
Taking all the love you give
Let you down, lead you on
And take all you need to live
Ah, baby, take my hand
Listen to me baby
And try to understand
This time, this time, this time
There isn't any danger
No baby, it's bedtime
But that don't mean it's got to be the last time
You know love doesn't stop at bedtime
I need a love that lasts for all time
Yes I do
I want it to last
I need it to last baby
And you need it too
You know you know
You know you do
I need a love
I need a love
I need a love
That last for all time
Stay with me baby
Stay with me baby
Take my hand

Ruled By The Heart
(Lyon/Rush)
Your love I ever understood
Was love as a one night stand
But it never felt as good as it should
Between a woman and a man
A woman and her man
Then I met you baby
And it all turned upside down
And all those foolish notions
Those selfish notions
They were in the ground
It turned my world around
Now I'm ruled by the heart
Now I'm ruled by the heart
Always on fire
A slave to desire
When your ruled by the heart
I used to run around
Play my music
And let my game come down
Yes I did baby
I never cared the way I should
For all the good
All the good woman that I found
I just let em down
But, oh you captured my soul
And took control of my pride
Yea, then I started to feel
But I've always been
Always been denied
Now you're buried deep inside
Ruled by the heart
Ruled by the heart
You're always on fire
A slave to desire
When your ruled
When your ruled by the heart
Ruled by the heart
You're always on fire
A slave to desire
When your ruled by the heart
you captured my soul
And took control of my pride
And I started to feel
But I've always been
Always been denied
Now you're buried
You're buried deep inside
Ruled by the heart
Ruled by the heart
You're always on fire
A slave to desire
When your ruled by the heart
Ruled by the heart
Ruled by the heart
You're always on fire
A slave to desire
When your ruled by the heart
Working Girl
(Van Zandt)
It's a lie
This ain't no man's world
She's alive
She's a working girl
And she don't want no part of your second class life
Be a maid in the morning
And a whore at night
Don't let them in, girl
Keep it to yourself
Oh I know baby's been crying
Needs someone to hold her
Thought she knew better
But nobody told her
Baby's been broken
She looks so much older now
She can write like a Russell Bell
She can fight with the best of them
We can try
Let me in your world
I've been waiting my whole life
For a working girl
Don't let them in, girl
Keep it to yourself
Oh I know baby's been crying
Needs someone to hold her
Thought she knew better
But nobody told her
Baby's been broken
She looks so much older now
Oh yea
Don't let them in, girl
Keep it to yourself
Oh I know baby's been crying
Needs someone to hold her
Thought she knew better
But nobody told her
Baby's been broken
She looks so much older now
She was a working girl
She was a working girl
She was a working girl
She was a working girl
She was a working girl
She was a working girl
Don't Bring Me Down
(Goffin/King)
When you complain and criticize
I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like just giving up
Because my best just ain't good enough
Girl, I want to provide for you
And do all those things that you want me to, but
No! Oh no, don't bring me down
I'm beggin' you baby
No! Oh no, don't bring me down
Sacrificing every day
Working hard, bring home all my pay
One thing I need is your respect
One thing I can't take is your neglect
And more than anything, I need your love
Then troubles are easy to rise above
But No! Oh no, don't bring me down
Oh, no no no no no
No! Oh no, don't bring me down
You complain and criticize
I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel just like giving up
Because my best just ain't good enough
Girl, I want to provide for you
Do all the things that you want me to, but
No! Oh no, don't bring me down
I'm beggin' baby
No! oh no, don't bring me down
Oh no no, baby
No! Oh no, don't bring me down
I'm beggin' baby
No! oh no, don't bring me down
Oh no no no no no no no no
This Soul's on Fire
(Lyon)
You say there's hell to pay
Then let it be that way
I just can't live a lie
I'm just a simple man
I do the best I can
I believe it's either do or die
But don't worry about me
I'll go out of my mind
To find what's here in my heart
Can't you see girl
Soul's on Fire
It's burning hot and bright
Soul's on fire
This soul is on fire tonight
The words I try to say
The songs I try to play
There all I really own
And when the night is through
Spotlight fades to blue
I find myself alone
But don't worry bout me
This fever can't get too hot
For the fire in me
In me
Soul's on Fire
It's burning burning hot and bright
Soul's on fire
This soul is on fire tonight
Don't worry bout me
Don't worry bout me
This fever can't get too hot
For the fire in me
In me
Soul's on Fire
It's burning hot and bright
Soul's on fire
This soul is on fire tonight
Soul's on Fire
It's burning burning hot and bright
Soul's on fire
This soul is on fire tonight
