Well she was an American girl Raised on promises She couldn't help thinkin' that there Was a little more to life Somewhere else After all it was a great big world With lots of places to run to Yeah, and if she had to die tryin' She had one little promise She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, alright Take it easy baby Make it last all night She was an American girl
Well, it was kind of cold that night She stood alone on her balcony Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by Out on 441 Like waves crashin' on the beach And for one desperate moment there He crept back in her memory God it's so painful Something that's so close And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, alright Take it easy baby Make it last all night She was an American girl
I would climb any mountain
Sail across a stormy sea
If that's what it takes me, baby
To show you how much you mean to me
And I guess it's just the woman in you
That brings out the man in me
I know I can't help myself
You're all in the world to me
(It feels like the first time)
(Feels like the very first time)
(It feels like the first time)
(It feels like the very first time)
I have waited a lifetime
Spent my time so foolishly
But now that I've found you
Together we'll make history
And I know that it must be the woman in you
That brings out the man in me
I know I can't help myself
You're all that my eyes can see
And it feels like the first time
Like it never did before
Feels like the first time
Like we've opened up the door
Feels like the first time
Like it never will again
Never again
(Feels like the first time)
It feels like the first time
(It feels like the very first time)
Very first, feels
(It feels like the first time)
Oh, it feels like the first time
(Feels like the very first time)
Won't you open up the door? Yeah
(Feels like the first time)
(And it feels like the very first time)
(And it feels like the first time)
(It feels like the very first time)
(And it feels like the first time)
(It feels like the very first time)
I'm going up the country
Baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm going up the country
Baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm going to some place
Where I've never been before
I'm going, I'm going
Where the water tastes like wine
I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water
Stay drunk all the time
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay
Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we've got to leave
today
Just exactly where we're going I cannot say
But we might even leave the U.S.A.
'Cause there's a brand new game that I wanna play
No use of you running or screaming and crying
'Cause you've got a home, man
Long as I've got mine
What's the matter Mary Jane, had a hard day? As you place the: "Don't Disturb" sign on the door You lost your place in line again, what a pity You never seem to want to dance anymore
It's a long way down On this roller-coaster The last chance streetcar Went off the track And you're on it
I hear you're counting sheep again Mary Jane What's the point of tryin' to dream anymore? I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for?
Well it's full speed baby In the wrong direction There's a few more bruises If that's the way You insist on heading
Please be honest Mary Jane Are you happy? Please don't censor your tears
You're the sweet crusader And you're on your way You're the last great innocent And that's why I love you
So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish Worry not about the cars that go by 'Cause all that matters Mary Jane is your freedom So keep warm my dear, keep dry
Tell me Tell me What's the matter Mary Jane? Tell me Tell me Please be honest Mary Jane Tell me Ooh-ah
There've been times in my life I've been wonderin' why Still, somehow I believed we'd always survive Now, I'm not so sure You're waiting here, one good reason to try But, what more can I say? What's left to provide?
Are you gonna wait for a sign, your miracle? Stand up and fight
Make no mistake where you are (This is it) Your back's to the corner (This is it) Don't be a fool anymore (This is it)
The waiting is over, no, don't you run No way to hide No time for wonderin' why It's here, the moment is now, about to decide Let 'em believe Leave 'em behind But keep me near in your heart Know whatever you do, I'm here by your side
For once in your life, here's your miracle Stand up and fight
Make no mistake where you are (This is it) You're goin' no further (This is it) Until it's over and done

Make no mistake where you are (This is it) You're goin' no further (This is it) Until it's over and done (This is it) One way or another (This is it) (No one can tell what the future holds) (This is it) Your back's to the corner (This is it) (You make the choice of how it goes) (This is it) The waiting is over (This is it) (No one can tell what the future holds) (This is it) You're goin' no further (This is it)

And when the rain is beatin' upon the window pane
And when the night it gets so cold, when I can't sleep
Again you come to me
I hold you tight, the rain disappears
Who would believe it
With a word you dry my tears
You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo
And If I wanted to
I could never be free
I never believed it was true
But now it's so clear to me
You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo
You're the one who can put out the fire
Doo, doo, doo
You're the one who can put out the fire
Doo, doo, doo
You're the one who can put out the fire

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Watch you weave then breathe your story lines
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes
While, she's deceiving me,
It cuts my security (has)
she got control of me
I turn to her and say
Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades; oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades;
(oh no) (I can't believe it)
You got it made with the guy in shades; oh no
I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Forget my name while you collect your claim
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
See the light that's right before my eyes
While she's deceiving me,
she cuts my security (has)
She got control of me
I turn to her and say
Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades (oh no)
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades
(oh no) (I can't believe it)
(cuz) You got it made with the guy in shades (oh no)
While she's deceiving me,
