OH SHERRIE Steve Perry, Randy Goodrum 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, 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 |

YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY Steve Perry, 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, 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, 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 |
STRUNG OUT Steve Perry, Craig Krampf One very happy warm summer night 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 |
