THUNDER IN MY HEART (1977)

THUNDER IN MY HEART
(Leo Sayer / Tom Snow)

Standing here alone with you
Wondering what it is that I’m supposed to do
And there you are with the lovelight in your eyes
Your bridges are burnt down
Your arms are open wide
Am I in too deep or should I swim to the shore
Is this the real thing I don’t know
But I’ve never been here before
And I feel a thunder in my heart
That I just can’t control
I feel a thunder in my heart
Should I walk away or follow my soul
I feel a thunder in my heart
Where it comes from I just don’t know
Oh no, oh no
There’s a storm ragin’ deep in my soul
There’s a howlin’ wind that I just can’t control
There’s a fire inside me I can’t explain
Every time you touch me my love falls like rain
I’ve only known you for an hour or more
But the time is standin’ still
Your love has opened up the door
I feel a thunder in my heart
It takes my breath away
I feel a thunder in my heart
Will I ever be the same
I feel a thunder in my heart
It’s telling me you’re here to stay
Oh no, oh no
There’s a thunder in my heart
There’s a thunder in my heart
There’s a thunder in my heart
There’s a thunder in my heart
Take me baby I’m all yours
Do just what you wanna do with my love
Let’s not let the night overtake us
‘Cos what’s happening right now may make or break us
Do you feel the way I do
Open up your heart now baby
I’m coming’ through
I feel a thunder in my heart
Takin’ my breath away
I feel a thunder in my heart
Since I met you I’ll never be the same
I feel a thunder in my heart
I know you’re here to stay
I feel a thunder in my heart
And I know you’re here to stay

EASY TO LOVE
(Leo Sayer/Albert Hammond)

It’s easy to love when I love someone like you
It’s easy to feel when you feel the way I do
You know love don’t come easy and love don’t come fast
But when loves come to you, you gotta make it last
On the day that I met you I knew it could be
So easy for you and so easy for me
It’s easy to love when I love someone like you, babe
It’s easy to feel when you feel the way I do, babe
Like the stars in the night seem to shine from above
That’s the way that you shine when you give me your love
And your love satisfies me like a natural high
From the soles of my feet to the top of the sky
It’s easy to love when I love someone like you
It’s easy to feel when you feel the way I do
(Solo)
You know love don’t come easy, and love don’t come fast
But when love comes to you, you gotta make it last
On the day that I met you I knew it would be
So easy for you and so easy for me
It’s easy to love when I love someone like you, babe
It’s easy to feel when you feel the way I do, babe
It’s easy to love when I love someone like you, babe
It’s easy to love
So easy to love
Easy to love
You’re so easy to love

LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE
(Tom Snow/Kerry Chater)

Little girl you have your fun
Take it easy
Just don’t jump the gun
You don’t have to try so hard
You will always be my number one
You got me in your bed of roses
Please don’t change the boy
‘Cos havin’ you around heaven knows
Is somethin’ I enjoy
Leave well enough alone baby
Don’t get too serious, no
Leave well enough alone child
Don’t go and change on us
Life won’t be the same for us
Better leave it alone
I know you’ve got ideas
Monograms and sets of hers and his
I hate to have to break the spell
But let me tell you how it really is
You know I feel at home with you just the way we are
But go ahead and dream those dreams
Just don’t carry them too far
Leave well enough alone baby
Don’t get too serious
Leave well enough alone child
Don’t go and change on us
Life won’t be the same for us
Better leave it alone
You know it feels so good with you just the way we are
But if you wanna dram those dreams baby
Don’t carry them too far
Leave well enough alone child
I love you just the way you are
Leave well enough alone baby
Let’s not change a thing baby
Let’s not change a thing babe
Leave it alone
Please, please, please,
Please leave
Leave it alone baby

I WANT YOU BACK
(Leo Sayer/Albert Hammond)

You know I thought I could live without you
I thought I could get along
But I never realized that I could be so wrong
Was I a fool to leave you
Or was I a fool to let you go
Doesn’t seem to matter much now baby
I should have never let you go
I want you back
I want you back
And I will never stop until I got you back
I wander the road where we used to walk
And lots of people pass by
They all look like they’re in love
Everybody but me
I see your face in the crowd
I hear your voice everywhere I go
And when I turn around thinking you’ve come back
Ah, you’re never, never, never there
I want you back
I want you back
And I’ll keep on searchin’ until you’re really here
I want you back
I want you back
And I’ll never stop until I get you back
Back in my arms to stay(Solo)
I want you back
I want you back
And I will never stop until I know I’ve got
You back in my heart to stay

IT’S OVER
(Leo Sayer/Tom Snow)

Last night I realized
There’s no point in compromise
I guess it’s time we said it’s over
‘Cos I been watchin’ you
Searchin’ for something’ new
Go find it now ‘cos it’s all over
What’s the sense in bitterness
It only leads to emptiness
I thought that we’d find happiness
But we’ve run out of track and we won’t get it back
‘Cos it’s over, it’s all over
It’s all over, it’s over
I’m gonna have to live with this
The one thing that I will miss
Is coming to you when my day is over
I’ll come home to loneliness
My life all in a mess
Just wishing we were never over
You read about it every day
Another love has gone astray
But who would think we’d end this way
We’ve run out of track and we won’t get it back
And it’s over, it’s all over
It’s over, it’s all over
I remember when you said to me
Take care when you share your love
Before you give it all so easily
Be sure that you can give enough
Look what happened to us
It’s all over, it’s over
Over, it’s all over
It’s all over, it’s all over
We’ve run out of track and we won’t get back
‘Cos it’s over
No more me, no more you
It’s over
It’s all over

FOOL FOR YOUR LOVE
(Leo Sayer/Michael Omartian)

Ooh, but love was just so hard to find
Until you came along into my life
And I thought I would lose my mind
When you said that you wanted to be mine
And ever since that day I’ve been hooked
And nothin’ could tear me away
This livin’ with you’s like a dream come true
And it grows more and more everyday
Ooh, I’m reachin’ the highest of highs
Every time I look in your eyes
You ask how I feel I can say it out loud
I feel like a million inside
I never thought this could happen to me
You got me just where you want me baby
And for your love I would do anything
Ever night I’m a fool for your love, yeah
I’m a fool for your love
I’m a fool for your love
I’m a fool for your love
Hey I’m just a fool for your love
Drivin’ home from this sleepy old town
When my day’s work is all through
Runnin’ the lights, well I wish I could fly
Just to get back faster to you
I waited all day by the telephone
Starin’ at the clock on the wall
The hours are so long when you’re free from my arms
And I just can’t wait to you hold you
I’m a fool for your love
I’m a fool for your love
Baby I’m just a fool for your love
I’m just a fool for your love
Ooh, you’re givin’ me chills up my spine
I’m feelin’ so fine, goin’ out of my mind
And I don’t care if it never stops
I’ll love you right up until I drop, you know
I’m a fool for your love
I’m a fool for your love
I’m just a fool for your love
I’m just a fool for you love
I’m a fool for your love
I’m a fool for your love
I’m just a fool for your love
I’m just a fool for you love
You’ve got a fool on your hands baby
I’m just a fool for your love
I’m a fool
I’m just a fool

WORLD KEEPS ON TURNING
(Leo Sayer/Michael Omartian)

Ooh, can’t you see
The days are rollin’ by
The things I read about the world outside
Don’t seem to matter now you’re here tonight
Hold me, love’s callin’, hold me if you can
The world just keeps on turning
It don’t mean a thing to me
Long as I’m with you, babe
There’s nothin’ that I need
World just keeps on turning
But your lovin’ stays the same
Long as I got you, babe
The world can roll away
Ooh, can you feel it
Now we’re a million miles away
The world looks oh so small from up here, baby
And that’s the way it’s gonna stay
Hold on, love’s callin’, hold on if you can
The world just keeps turning
Don’t mean a thing to me
Long as I’m with you, babe
There’s nothin’ that I need
World just keeps on turning
But your lovin’ stays the same
Long as I got you, babe
The world can roll away
(Solo)
Oh, it’s you and me, baby
Lost in our lovin’ dreams
No one to tell us what we should or shouldn’t do
This time life is more than it seems
Hold on, love’s callin’, hold on if you can
(Solo)
World just keeps on turning
Don’t mean a thing to me
Long as I’m with you, babe
There’s nothin’ that I need
The world just keeps on turning
But your loving stays the same
Long as I got you, babe
World can roll away
Because the world
Just keeps on turning’
The world just keeps on turnin’
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

THERE ISN’T ANYTHING
(John Vastano)

You know there isn’t anything
Anything, I wouldn’t do
You know there isn’t anyone
Anyone, loves me like you
Holdin’ you close and feelin’ your heartbeat inside
It’s just like a miracle
And you’re makin’ me feel so glad I’m alive
And in every way I’m wanna thank you
You know there isn’t anything
Anything, I couldn’t be
You know there isn’t anyone
Anyone, keep you from me
If you’re caught in a storm or lost out at sea
Seachin’ for a miracle
I would soften the wind
And calm the angry sea
To bring you home to me
(Solo)
So if they built up an army
To take you from me
Just like a miracle
I would fly like an eagle
And carry you so far away, in my fantasy
You know there isn’t anything
Anything I wouldn’t do
Oh no, no, no
You know there isn’t anything
Anything I wouldn’t do
And I’ll be there if you want me baby
It’s just like a miracle
Loving you
Just like a miracle
Loving you, loving you

EVERTHING I’VE GOT
(Tom Snow/John Vastano)

I never worry I never fret
‘Cos when I got you on my side you can bet
I got it all, I’m standing so tall
And when I hold you in my arms
You know I’ll never let you fall
When trouble comes to call
I would give you everything I’ve got
Don’t you know
You know that I will love you a lot
Never let you go
Don’t need nobody
Want nobody but you
Time’s gonna come
We’ll be put to the test
And you and me girl
We won’t be like the rest
We’ll see it through
Just me and you
And when they ask us
We will say it’s been tried and it’s still true
We’re still shinin’ through
I would give you everything I’ve got
Don’t you know
You know that I will love you a lot
Never let you go
Don’t need nobody
Want nobody but you
(Solo)
I would give you everything I’ve got
Everything I got
You know what I would love you
Love you a lot
Don’t need nobody
Need no one but you
No one but you
Everything I got
Don’t you know
You know that I would love you
Love you a lot
Don’t need nobody
Need no one but you
No one but you

WE CAN START IT ALL OVER AGAIN
(Leo Sayer/Bruce Roberts/Tom Snow)

Ooh babe, what can I say to you
To change what you’re feelin’ inside
Ooh babe, I’ve got to get close to you
Please don’t cast me aside
You know I hate to see you lookin’ so sad
I can’t stand to watch this good love go bad
Let’s stop and think about the good times that we had
We can start it all, start it all, over again
And we can have it all, have it all, just one more time
We can start it all start it all, all over again
Ooh, babe, don’t look that way at me
You know you’re breaking’ my heart
Ooh, babe, I am as sorry as I can be
Don’t let this tear us apart
Now let’s forget about the tears that we cried
What’s gone is gone and there ‘ain’t nothin’ to hide
Come on baby, why can’t we give it one more try
We can start it all, start it all, all over again
And we can have it all, have it all, just a one more time
If we can start it all, start it all, all over again
(Solo)
Just think about
Just think about it babe
Just think about it babe
Oh baby, I acted like a fool
You just trust me baby and I’ll make it up to you
I see your smile’s returnin’
I know you understand
Come on baby
All you got to do is take my hand
I love you baby, we’re gonna start it all again
We’ll have it down like nothin’ before
We can have it all, have it all, yeah everything
We can start it all, start it all, all over again
We can have it all, have it all, yeah everything
I wanna love you babe, all over again
