You should've been gone
Knowing how I made you feel
And I should've been gone
After all your words of steel
Oh I must've been a dreamer
And I must've been someone else
And we should've been over

Oh Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on

But I want to let go
You'll go on hurtin' me
You'd be better off alone
If I'm not who you thought I'd be

But you know that there's a fever
Oh that you'll never find nowhere else
Can't you feel it burnin' on and on

(chorus)

But I should've been gone
Long ago, far away
And you should've been gone
Now I know just why you stay

(chorus)

Oh Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on

I Believe
(Steve Perry and Randy Goodrum)

If you feel, love's an illusion
I won't hold you down
Do you feel, you're lost in confusion
With no hope to be found

Stop before you start believin'
That all our hope is gone
Cause I know there's a reason
To why we're holdin' on

And when you walked into my life I realized
Oh no one else took me by surprise

(I believe) I believe you
(You want it too) oh you want it
(You'll know the way) know the way
Yes the way I feel and I care
(Someday) oh yes I care
(Know the truth) I believe
(I believe) I believe in me and you

It's a strange situation
We can work it out
With love's blind determination
There can be no doubt

Well I know there's a solution
Right here in our hands
Then the lonely, lonely hours we've wasted
Won't be back again

And when you walked into my life I realized
No one else took me by surprise, I believe

(chorus twice)

Believe it

Go Away
(Steve Perry and Randy Goodrum)

We meet again
Right in the middle
Of a love I knew before
Another girl, she looks a lot like you
I'm cruisin many
So are you
That's the way we both should do
I don't know, why we had this rendezvous

Go away, go away, I sing goodbye to you
When the song's gone, you'll be on
On to someone new

So here we are
Right in the middle
In the same place, stuck before
You'll have to find another place to play
Well I know I want to hold you
Right in the middle
Like I held you once before
But something's saying that's a big mistake

Why don't you
Go away, go away, I sing goodbye to you
When the song's gone, you'll be on
On to someone new

What you wanted
I gave it to you
In every way that you wanted to whoa oh
Don't make your move
If you ever cared for me

(chorus three times)

Go
Watching you, what you gonna do
Gonna do
Oh go
Watching you, what you gonna do
Gonna do

Foolish Heart
(Steve Perry and Randy Goodrum)

I need a love that grows
I don't want it unless I know
With each passin hour
Someone, somehow
Will be there, ready to share

I need a love that's strong
I'm so tired of being alone
But will my lonely heart
Play the part
Of the fool again, before I begin

Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore

Feelin that feelin again
Playin a game I can't win
Love's knockin on the door
Of my heart once more
Think I'll let her in
Before I begin

Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before, you start falling
Foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore
Foolish heart
Foolish, foolish heart
You've been wrong before

Foolish heart, hear me calling
Stop before you start falling foolish heart, heed my warning
You've been wrong before
Don't be wrong anymore
Foolish heart

Oh foolish foolish heart
You've been wrong before

Foolish foolish heart
Foolish heart

It's Only Love
(Steve Perry and Randy Goodrum)

Oh you, broke an old tradition
Gave in to the flame
You tell me I'm the reason
You tell me I'm to blame
You're sorry for the evening
But nothing's wrong

It's only love, it's only love
It's only love, it's only love

I, don't need this condemnation
There's no room for mistakes
There's no time for forgiveness
It's written on your face
But girl i'm only human
Oh you should know

It's only love, it's only love
It's only love, it's only love

So let's turn it around
Start working it out
We should try, our love is so strong

We've go nowhere to go
It's right here we belong
We should try looking back again

Oh I, opened up your letter
I can't believe my eyes
You said I should know better
But I have no alibis
No, no...no!

Then they play, then they play, then they play
Yes they play, then they play

Only love, only love
Oh it's only love, only love
It's only love, it's only love
Oh it's only love, it's only love

She's Mine
(Steve Perry and Randy Goodrum)

I've seen your kind before
I've seen you creepin around
Before you come round my door
Oh there's one thing you, gotta know

She's mine all mine
Don't show your face here no more
She's mine all mine
Don't hand around here no more

I heard her call out your name
Late last night in her sleep
That's why I came here to say
No, it won't be easy to steal her away

She's mine all mine
Don't show your face here no more
She's mine all mine
Don't hang around here no more...
Go!

You've got her under your spell
And she's believin your lies
You'd like her at your hotel
no, not as long as I'm alive

She's mine all mine
Don't show your face here no more
She's mine all mine
Don't hang around here no more, more, more, more

Oh she's mine
Don't show your face here no more
No no no no!
Don't hang around,
Don't hang
Don't hang around no more

You Should Be Happy
(Steve Perry and Randy Goodrum)

Voices in the dead of night
Whisper words of loneliness it's true
Footsteps echo down the hall
Coming ever closer is it you
It's not fair for mortal man
To put up with this pain, I'm goin' through

You should be happy
Now you're on your own
You should be happy
Now you're on your own

If I could walk through that door
I'd leave behind these broken memories
Trapped inside this empty room
Desperation closing in on me
If I had your heart of stone
I could break these chains
And I'd be free

You should be happy
Now you're on your own
You should be happy
Now you're on your own

I could be happy,
I could be happy, someday
If you would have tried
If you hadn't lied
We'd never be alone again

Happy
No you're on your own
Happy
Yes, you're on your own
You should be happy
Now you're on your own
Happy
Oh yes, you're on your own
But, now I'm happy
Now I'm on my own
Happy

Running Alone
(Steve Perry and John Bettis)

Looking down I watch the night
Running from the sun
Orphan stars and city lights
Fading one by one
Oh sweet memories
I call on you now

Two too many hearts been broke
Along this lonely road
Steel grey eyes can shine the lies
Until they look like gold
Cold city sidewalks can turn your heart to stone
The street won't defeat me
Cause I've got the will I'll survive
I don't mind runnin' alone

I believe that every soul
Has a song to sing
The spirit's locked in every man
Waiting for a wing
Oh so much is wasted
And oh so little used
The trick of the dreamer
Is keeping yourself from the blues
And I don't mind runnin'

Everyone's a hero
If you want to be
Everyone's a prisoner
Holding their own key
Every step I take
In every move I make
Always one step closer
I don't mind runnin' alone

Laughing children echo down
The concrete alleyways
Oh their voices
Calling, calling, calling yesterday
Oh sweet memories
Returning to me now
When young eyes saw clearly

(chorus)

Captured By The Moment
(Steve Perry and Randy Goodrum)

Where did he go
The man who said, I have a dream
Where have they gone
The four who sang, to let it be
Jackie's alone
She lost him one November day
L.A. motel
One sad mistake took Sam away

Oh remember then, remember when
Captured by the moment
In the magic of a yesterday
Captured by the moment
And I hope it never fades away
Sweet Janis cried
Lord won't you buy a Benz for me
Jimmy was right
Castles made of sand slip to the sea

Oh remember then, remember when
Captured by the moment
In the magic of a yesterday
Captured by the moment
And I hope it never fades away
Captured by the moment
Oh in the magic of a yesterday

Otis replied
A little tenderness we got to try
One open door
He tried to set the night on fire

Captured by the moment
In the magic of yesterday
Captured by the moment
And I hope it never fades away
Captured by the moment
Oh in the magic of a yesterday

Stung Out
(Steve Perry and Craig Krampf)

One very happy warm summer nite
I saw your face, what could I do?
So carefully I walked straight up to you

And in the shadow of a moonlit nite
I saw those eyes a shinin' through
Heart of gold, I love you misty blue

Oh it's hard to love somebody
Especially when they don't belong to you
'Cause they're loving someone else,
Strung out and hung up on you

I feel like Bogart in a crazy movie
Bogie 'n me, we never beg,
But this time maybe I've got voices in my head

They're sayin' that he's never been good to you
And he's always hurt and let you down,
If what you need is good lovin', I'll be around

It's hard to love somebody
Especially when they don't belong to you
'Cause they're loving someone else,
Strung out and hung up on you.
Strung out, strung out

Well, it's hard to love somebody
Especially when they don't belong to you
'Cause they're loving someone else,
Strung out and hung up on you

It's hard to love somebody
Oh when they don't belong to you
'Cause they're loving someone else,
Strung out and hung up on you
Strung out and hung up on you
Yes, strung out
Yes, strung out
Strung out
Strung out
Strung out
Strung out
