Desperate Fools Overture
(Eric Carmen)

Instrumental

Haven't We Come A Long Way
(Eric Carmen)

Baby
Life has come between a lot of happy people
But the world has never had a broken heart
So don't you let it get you too discouraged
Sometimes bein' in love takes a lot of courage

Haven't we come a long way, baby
To let this foolish world
Tear us both apart
Oh darlin'
(I said)
After all we've been through, baby
If you left me now
You know it's got to break my heart

Baby
Everybody tells me the things I ought to be
And all the while I'm just tryin' to make ends meet
Don't you let it bring you down, now honey
'Cause the love that we got doesn't cost any money

Haven't we come a long way, baby
To let this foolish world
Tear us both apart
Oh darlin'
(I said)
After all we've been through, baby
If you left me now
You know it's got to break my heart

I said love is the answer
And love is in me

Haven't we come a long way, baby
To let this foolish world
Tear us both apart
Oh darlin'
(Listen)
After all we've been through, baby
If you left me now
You know it's got to break my heart

Haven't we come a long way, baby
Haven't we come a long way, baby
Listen when I tell you now
Haven't we come a long way, baby

End Of The World
(Eric Carmen)

Things are so wrong
I know how hard it must seem
But honey, I need you beside me now
People get angry
They say things they don't mean
We're gonna make it work somehow

Whoa, and darlin'
It's not the end of the world
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
Aah, Darlin'
It's not the end of the world
As long as you need me
As long as you need me

Love isn't easy
And there's no guarantee
Everything has to turn out right
We got each other
And that's all that we need
That and the way we feel inside

Whoa, and darlin'
It's not the end of the world
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
Aah, Darlin'
It's not the end of the world
As long as you need me
As long as you need me

Darlin'
It's not the end of the world
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
Aah, Darlin'
It's not the end of the world
As long as you need me
As long as you need me

Darlin'
It's not the end of the world
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
Darlin'
It's not the end of the world
As long as you need me
As long as you need me

Heaven Can Wait
(Eric Carmen)

I was livin' for tomorrow
Hangin' on from day to day
Tired of chasin' a dream
That so constantly seemed
To just slip away

Oh, now that I've found a love that's forever
Heaven can wait till then
Oh, at last I can see how sweet love can be
So if it's not too late
Heaven can wait

Life is short, my darlin'
But tomorrow come what may
You are here in my heart
And that's something that no one can take away

Oh, now that I've found a love that's forever
Heaven can wait till then
Oh, at last I can see how sweet love can be
So if it's not too late
Heaven can wait

Oh, now that I've found a love that's forever
Heaven can wait till then
Oh, at last I can see how sweet love can be
So if it's not too late
Heaven can wait

Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait

Baby I Need Your Lovin'
(Holland, Dozier, Holland)

Baby I need your lovin'
Baby I need your lovin'

Although you're never near
Your voice I often hear
Another day, another night
I long to hold you tight
'Cause I'm so lonely

Baby, I need your lovin'
I got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Some say it's a sign of weakness
For a man to beg
Then weak I'd rather be
If it means havin' you to keep
'Cause lately I've been losin' sleep

Baby, I need your lovin'
I got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Empty nights
Echo your name
Sometimes I wonder
Will I ever be the same

Oh yeah, when you see me smile
You know
Things have gotten worse
Any smile you might see
Has all been rehearsed

Darlin', I can't go on without you
This emptiness won't let me live without you
This loneliness inside me darlin'
Makes me feel not alive, honey

Baby, I need your lovin'
I got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Baby, I need your lovin'
I got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Change Of Heart
(Eric Carmen)

I can still recall
When we said that our love was forever
All those plans we made
For tomorrow that looked so bright
And I understand
All the reasons you gave me for leavin'
But that doesn't help
When I'm sleepin' alone each night

So if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it's not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do

I could find someone
More than willing to be your replacement
But there's no one else
Who can move me the way you do
So for now, goodbye
But if ever you find you still want me
You just call my name
'Cause I'll always be here for you

So if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it's not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do

Nothing you could ever do
Would change the things I know
Deep in my heart
So I got to make you understand before I go
Sooner or later
I don't know when
I'm gonna get you back
In my arms again

And if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it's not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do

And if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it's not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do

And if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it's not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do

Hey Deanie
(Eric Carmen)

Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The stars are dancin'
Like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time
To be in love

Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The summer's waitin'
The moon is shinin' so bright
Hey Deanie you're the one
I'm dreamin' of
 
I was a fool for your love
From the moment I saw you
Like a vision in the darkness
Of a thousand lonesome, lonely nights
Like my heart threw away the key
I'm as blind as a man could be
Oh darlin'
Till you help me see the light
 
Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The stars are dancin'
Like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time
To be in love

Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The summer's waitin'
The moon is shinin' so bright
Hey Deanie you're the one
I'm dreamin' of

I stand accused
I'm in league with the forces of darkness
An incurable believer
In the magic of the midnight sky
And the love that I found today
Oh, I can't let it slip away
Oh darlin', can't you read between the lines

Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The stars are dancin'
Like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time
To be in love

Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The summer's waitin'
The moon is shinin' so bright
Hey Deanie you're the one
I'm dreamin' of
 
Deanie, love is all there is
I don't wanna lose it
Don't wanna let the evenin' go
If it's here within our reach
I think we should use it
Now while we're young enough
To still let it show

Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The stars are dancin'
Like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time
To be in love

Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The summer's waitin'
The moon is shinin' so bright
Hey Deanie you're the one
I'm dreamin' of

Hey Deanie
You're the one I'm dreamin' of
Hey Deanie
You're the one I'm dreamin' of
Won't you come out tonight
You're the one that I'm dreamin' of
I'm a fool for your love
Won't you come out
Come out tonight

Someday
(Eric Carmen)

Someday
When I'm cool
She's gonna think about how
She used to treat me so cruel
On that someday
Man, she'll crawl back to me

Someday
When I'm gone
She's gonna see how it feels to be
All alone
On that someday
Man, she'll crawl back to me

So she said goodbye again
I'm just waitin' for the time to come
When she'll get down on her knees
Beggin', now darlin', please

I've been tryin' every trick I know
But she still walks in
Makes me feel so grim
Seein' her is gettin' harder every day

Someday
When I'm cool
She's gonna think about how
She used to treat me so cruel
On that someday
Man, she'll crawl back to me

Man, she'll crawl back to me
Man, she'll crawl back to me
Someday
Man, she'll crawl back to me

Desperate Fools
(Eric Carmen)

I've been up too high
I've been down too low
I've been searchin' for somethin'
With nowhere to go
Thought I'd make it alone
But I'm so far from home
In a town full of desperate fools

Oh, the sun beats down
On the L.A. scene
But you can't feel the cold
When the grass looks so green
And the games that I've played
Were not worth what I paid
In a town full of desperate fools

I've been takin' my life
One day at a time
Tryin' to piece it all together
But I know in my mind
That I'm startin' to be
What they want me to be
And I wonder sometimes
What's becoming of me

I've been takin' my life
One day at a time
Tryin' to piece it all together
But I know in my mind
That I'm startin' to be
What they want me to be
And I wonder sometimes
What's becoming of me

'Cause I've been up too high
I've been down too low
I've been searchin' for somethin'
With nowhere to go
And I suppose it's been fun
But I guess I'm just one
In a town full of desperate fools
A town full of desperate fools
