Do To Me (2001)

1. 18 Til I Die

Wanna be young - the rest of my life 
Never say no - try anything twice 
Til the angels come - and ask me to fly
Gonna be 18 til I die - 18 til I die 
Can't live forever - that's wishful thinkin'
Who ever said that - must of bin' drinkin' 
Don't wanna grow up - I don't see why 
I couldn't care less if time flies by 

18 til I die - gonna be 18 til I die 
Ya it sure feels good to be alive 
Someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55! - 18 til I die

Anyway - I just wanna say 
Why bother with what happened yesterday
It's not my style - I live for the minute 
If ya wanna stay young - get both feet in it - 18 til I die
A 'lil bit of this - a 'lil bit of that 
'Lil bit of everything - gotta get on track 
It's not how ya look, it's what ya feel inside 
I don't care when - I don't need ta know why 
18 til I die - gonna be 18 til I die 
Ya it sure feels good to be alive 
Someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55! - 18 til I die
Ya there's one thing for sure - I'm sure gonna try

Don't worry 'bout the future 
Forget about the past 
Gonna have a ball - ya we're gonna have a blast
Gonna make it last

2. Can't Stop This Thing We Started

You might stop a hurricane
Might even stop the drivin' rain
You might have a dozen other guys
But if you wanna stop me baby - don't even try
I'm goin' one way - your way
It's such a strong way - let's make it our way

Can't stop this thing we started
You gotta know it's right
Can't stop this course we've plotted
This thing called love we got it
No place for the brokenhearted
Can't stop this thing we started - no way
I'm goin' your way!
You might stop the world spinnin' round
Might even walk on holy ground
I ain't Superman and I can't fly
But if you wanna stop me baby - don't even try
I'm goin' one way - your way
It's such a strong way - let's make it our way

Can't stop this thing we started
You gotta know it's right
Can't stop this course we've plotted
This thing called love we got it
No place for the brokenhearted
Can't stop this thing we started - no way
I'm goin' your way!

Oh - why take it slow
I gotta know 
Nothing can stop this thing that we got

3. Summer of '69

I got my first real six-string 
Bought it at the five-and-dime 
Played it till my fingers bled 
It was the summer of '69 

Me and some guys from school 
Had a band and we tried real hard 
Jimmy quit and Jody got married 
I shoulda known we'd never get far 
Oh when I look back now 
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice 
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life 

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do 
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you 

Standin' on your mama's porch 
You told me that you'd wait forever 
Oh and when you held my hand 
I knew that it was now or never 
Those were the best days of my life 

Back in the summer of '69 

Man we were killin' time 
We were young and restless 
We needed to unwind 
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no 

And now the times are changin' 
Look at everything that's come and gone 
Sometimes when I play that old six-string 
I think about ya wonder what went wrong 

Standin' on your mama's porch 
You told me it would last forever 
Oh the way you held my hand 
I knew that it was now or never 
Those were the best days of my life 

Back in the summer of '69

4. (Everything I Do) I Do It For You

Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into my heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for 
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - Ya I'd die for you

Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

5. Cuts Like A Knife 

Drivin' home this evening 
I coulda sworn we had it all worked out 
You had this boy believin' 
Way beyond the shadow of a doubt 

Then I heard it on the street 
I heard you mighta found somebody new 
Well who is he baby - who is he 
And tell me what he means to you 

I took it all for granted 
But how was I to know 
That you'd be letting go 

Now it cuts like a knife 
But it feels so right 
It cuts like a knife 
But it feels so right 

There's times I've 'bin mistaken 
There's times I thought I'd 'bin misunderstood 
So wait a minute darlin' 
Can't you see we did the best we could 

This wouldn't be the first time 
Things have gone astray 
Now you've thrown it all away 

Now it cuts like a knife 
But It feels so right 
It cuts like a knife 
But it feels so right

6. Do To You

If ya love somebody - if ya need someone 
If ya want somebody - ya - let me be the one 
(I wanna) do to you what you do to me 
Do to you what you do to me 
Let me treat ya right - ya - show I care 
Cuz every night - I'll take ya there 
Do to you what you do to me 
Do to you what you do to me 
Don't want just anything - I just want something real
Let down your defenses baby - show me what you feel 
Do to you what you do to me 
Do to you what you do to me 
Should I stay - should I go 
There ain't no question - I already know 
(I wanna) do to you what you do to me 
(help me) do to you what you do to me 
Don't want just anything - I just want something real
Let down your defenses baby - show me what you feel

7. PLEASE FORGIVE ME

Still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss, it's gettin' better baby
No one can better this...
Still holdin' on, you're still the one
First time our eyes met, same feelin' I get
Only feels much stronger, wanna love ya longer
You still turn the fire on...
So if you're feelin' lonely don't
you're the only one I ever want
I only wanna make it good
so if I love ya a little more than I should
Please forgive me, I know not what I do...
...I can't stop lovin' you
Don't deny me this pain I'm going through...
...if I need ya like I do
Please believe me every word I say is true...
...our best times are together...
...touch, still gettin' closer baby
Can't get close enough...
Still holdin' on, still number one
I remember the smell of your skin...everything
...all your moves...you, yeah!
...the nights ya know I still do...
...One thing I'm sure of is the way we make love
And one thing I depend on is for us to stay strong
With every word and every breath I'm prayin'
That's why I'm sayin'...
...Never leave me I don't know what I'd do...

8. When You're Gone
With Melanie C

I've been wandering around the house all night
Wondering what the hell to do
I'm trying to concentrate but all I can think of is you
Well the phone don't ring cuz my friends ain't home
I'm tired of being all alone
Got the TV on cuz the radio's playing songs
that remind me of you

Baby when you're gone
I realize I'm in love
The days go on and on
And the nights just seem so long
Even food don't taste that good
Drink ain't doing what it should
Things just feel so wrong - baby when you're gone

I've been driving up and down these streets
Trying to find somewhere to go
Ya I'm lookin' for a familiar face but there's no one I know

This is torture, this is pain
It feels like I'm gonna go insane
I hope you're coming back real soon
Cuz I don't know what to do

9. I'm Ready 

I'd like to see you, thought I'd let you know 
I wanna be with you everyday 
Cause I've got a feeling that beginning to grow 
And there's only one thing I wanna say 

I'm ready - to love you 
I'm ready - to hold you 
I'm ready - I'm ready 
Ready as I'm gonna be 

She left me a long note when she left me here 
Told me that love was hard to find 
But baby it's easy and I'll make it clear 
That there's only one thing on my mind 

I'm ready - to love you 
I'm reday - to hold you 
I'm ready - I'm ready 
Ready as I'm gonna be

10. Blues Jam:
 If Ya Wanna Be Bad Ya Gotta Be Good & Lets Make A Night A Remember

She gotta nasty reputation and a talent for sin
She's the kinda trouble - I like to be in
I wanna be her lover - I wanna be her slave
She's the kinda woman makes me wanna misbehave
She said "I'll give ya what you want boy - but lets make it understood
If ya wanna be bad - ya gotta be good"
She's say's "there'll be no lyin' - no foolin' around
No seven day weekends - no nights on the town"
She said "that's the way I want it - that's the way it's gotta be
If yer lookin' for trouble - better get it from me
So get on your knees boy - and do what you should
If you wanna be bad you gotta be good"

Let's make a night - let's make a night
To remember - to remember
From January - from January
To December - to December
Let's make a love - let's make a love
To excite us - to excite us
A memory - a memory
To ignite us - to ignite us
Let's make honey baby - let's make honey baby
Let's make sugar darlin' - let's make sugar darlin'
Sweet surrender - sweet surrender
Let's make a night - let's make a night
To remember - to remember
All life long

11. The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You

I don't look good in no Armani Suits 
No Gucci shoes - or designer boots 
I've tried the latest lines from A to Z 
But there's just one thing that looks good on me 

The only thing I want 
The only thing I need 
The only thing I choose 
The only thing that looks good on me...is you 

I'm not satisfied with Versace style 
Put those patent leather pants - in the circular file 
Sometimes I think - I might be lookin' good 
But there's only one thing that fits me like it should 

The only thing I want 
The only thing I need 
The only thing I choose 
The only thing that looks good on me...is you 

Ya it's you - it could only be you 
Nobody else will ever do 
Ya baby it's you - that I stick to 
Ya we stick like glue 

The only thing I want 
The only thing I need 
The only thing I choose 
The only thing that looks good on me...is you

clue number one was when you knocked on my door
clue number two was the look that you wore
n' that's when i knew, it was a pretty good sign
that something was wrong up on cloud number nine

13. Run To You

She says her love for me could never die 
But that'd change if she ever found out about you and I

Oh - but her love is cold 
It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know, 'cause...

When it gets too much 
I need to feel your touch 

I'm gonna run to you 
I'm gonna run to you 
Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night 
I'm gonna run to you 
She's got a heart of gold she'd never let me down 
But you're the one that always turns me on 
You keep me comin' 'round 

I know her love is true 
But it's so damn easy makin' love to you 

I got my mind made up 
I need to feel your touch 

I'm gonna run to you 
Ya - I'm gonna run to you 
Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna stay all night 

I'm gonna run to you 
Ya - I'm gonna run to you 
Oh when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night 
I'm gonna run to you

14. The Best Of Me
written by Bryan Adams and Mutt Lange

Sometimes words are hard to find
I'm looking for that perfect line
To let you know you're always on my mind
Ya this is love - n' I've learned enough to know
I'm never lettin' go
No, no, no - won't let go

When you want it - when you need it
You'll always have the best of me
I can't help it - believe it
You'll always get the best of me

I may not always know what's right
But I know I want you here tonight
Gonna make this moment last for all your life
oh ya this is love - n' it really means so much
I can tell from every touch
No, no, no - can't get enough

When you want it - when you need it
You'll always have the best of me
I can't help it - believe it
You'll always get the best of me

(Solo)

Ya this is love
And I've learned enough to know
I'm never letting go
No, no, no - won't let go

When you want it - when you need it
You'll always have the best of me
I can't help it - believe it
You'll always have the best of me - yeah!

When you want it - when you need it
You'll always get the best of me
I can't help it - believe it
You'll always get the best of me

You've got the best of me
