Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome Even though you're tryin' to hold me back You don't get no mail you know I'm in jail Fare thee well, my brother, please don't stand in my way I'm goin' down to that dirty town no matter what you say You fooled me

Just know that I'm already home If only New York wasn't so far away I promise the city won't get in our way When you're scared and alone, You say love is what you put into it You say that I'm losing my will Don't you know that you're all that I think

But it's only make believe The streets, the signs are pointing all one way But you don't realize just what they say You may fight, you may run, you may know what you've done It makes me feel so sad to think what I might've had I watch the stars, I watch

Oh oh oh oh ho oh Happy alone Sharing a smile So far from home I want in like a substitute I've been working awful hard for you But you don't say, you just hold your breath So I can't touch what I haven't yet She's a cold one and it hurts me so

I don't care what you say anymore this is my life Go ahead with your own life leave me alone I don't need you to worry for me 'cause I'm alright I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home I never said you had to offer me a second chance I never

Rock of ages, rock of ages Long live rock 'n' roll What do you want, what do you want? Still rollin', keep a-rollin' Still rollin', rock'n'rollin' We got the power, got the glory Just say you need it and if you need it

The look of love So many nights like this Don't ever go Is in your eyes A look your smile can't Is saying so much more than Just words could every say And what my heart has heard

Honey, what you done to your head Honey, what's the words that I said You see me crying Don't let it get you down I'm back to the lost and found Say you're a ladies man So hard to understand Please say you'll stick around And I got to be your lover, honey

Dedication, hard work plus patience The sum of all my sacrifice, I'm done waitin' I'm done waitin', told you that I wasn't playin' Now you hear what I been sayin', dedication Look, my nigga this is dedication This is anti-hesitation This a real nigga

To have you hear what I have to say Help me help you, I'm down on my knees If you need me so much then why did you leave You needed a reason, you needed too much. You can lean on me, but don't lean On me like I'm your crutch. So, who do you trust now
