Carlos Santana feat Steven Tyler - Just Feel Better
歌詞
She said I feel stranded And I can't tell anymore If I'm coming or I'm going It's not how I planned it I've got a key to the door But it just won't open
And I know, I know, I know Part of me says let it go That life happens for a reason I don't, I don't, I don't Because it never worked before But this time, this time
I'm gonna try anything to just feel better Tell me what to do You know I can't see through the haze around me And I do anything to just feel better
And I can't find my way Girl I need a change And I do anything to just feel better Any little thing that just feel better
She said I need you to hold me I'm a little far from the shore And I'm afraid of sinking You're the only one who knows me And who doesn't ignore That my soul is weeping
I know, I know, I know Part of me says let it go Everything must have a season Round and round it goes And every day's the one before But this time, this time
I'm gonna try anything that just feels better Tell me what to do You know I can't see through the haze around me And I do anything to just feel better
I can't find my way God I need a change And I'd do anything to just feel better Any little thing that just feel better
I'm tired of holding on To all the things I ought to leave behind, yeah It's really getting old, and I think I need a little help this time!
Yeah
[Guitar solo]
I'm gonna try anything to just feel better Tell me what to do You know I can't see through the haze around me And I do anything to just feel better
And I can't find my way God I need a change And I do anything to just feel better Any little thing that just feel better
Para tu amor lo tengo todo Desde mi sangre hasta la esencia de mi ser Y para tu amor que es mi tesoro Tengo mi vida toda entera a tus pies
Y tengo también Un corazón que se muere por dar amor Y que no conoce el fin Un corazón que late por vos
Para tu amor no hay despedidas Para tu amor yo solo tengo eternidad Y para tu amor que me ilumina Tengo una luna, un arco iris y un clavel
Y tengo también Un corazón que se muere por dar amor Y que no conoce el fin Un corazón que late por vos
Por eso yo te quiero tanto que no sé como explicar Lo que siento Yo te quiero porque tu dolor es mi dolor Y no hay dudas Yo te quiero con el alma y con el corazón Te venero Hoy y siempre gracias yo te doy a ti mi amor Por existir
Para tu amor lo tengo todo lo tengo todo y lo que no tengo también Lo conseguiré para tu amor que es mi tesoro Tengo mi vida toda entera a tus pies
Y tengo también Un corazón que se muere por dar amor Y que no conoce el fin Un corazón que late por vos
Por eso yo te quiero tanto que no sé como explicar Lo que siento Yo te quiero porque tu dolor es mi dolor Y no hay dudas Yo te quiero con el alma y con el corazón Te venero Hoy y siempre gracias yo te doy a ti mi amor
La Camisa Negra
歌詞
Tengo la camisa negra Hoy mi amor esta de luto Hoy tengo en el alma una pena Y es por culpa de tu embrujo
Y eso es lo que más me hiere Que tengo la camisa negra Y una pena que me duele
Y fue pura todita tu mentira Que maldita mala suerte la mÃa
Por beber del veneno malevo de tu amor
Y desde que tú te fuiste yo solo tengo
Tengo la camisa negra Porque negra tengo el alma Yo por ti perdà la calma Y casi pierdo hasta mi cama
Cama cama caman baby Te digo con disimulo Que tengo la camisa negra Y debajo tengo el difunto
Tengo la camisa negra Ya tu amor no me interesa Lo que ayer me supo a gloria Hoy me sabe a pura
Ni siquiera muestras señas Y yo con la camisa negra Y tus maletas en la puerta
Y fue pura todita tu mentira Que maldita mala suerte la mÃa
Por beber del veneno malevo de tu amor
Y desde que tú te fuiste yo solo tengo
Tengo la camisa negra Porque negra tengo el alma Yo por ti perdà la calma Y casi pierdo hasta mi cama
Cama, cama, caman, baby Te digo con disimulo Que tengo la camisa negra Y debajo tengo el difunto
Tengo la camisa negra Porque negra tengo el alma Yo por ti perdà la calma Y casi pierdo hasta mi cama
Cama, cama, caman, baby Te digo con disimulo Que tengo la camisa negra Y debajo tengo el difunto

Tell me what you want from me So I can try to make you see That I’m in no position for giving Cos’ all I see you do is lie And I can’t help but close my eyes And wonder ’bout you in my life I’m drowning in your tears
I’m delirious Are you serious? What goes on in your head? I’m just curious Cos’ I’m hanging here Got me dangling here Think your love, oh your love has got off my head
It’s unbelievably hard to love you But I love you anyway I’ve been trying too hard not to love you But I love you anyway
Oh, I should’ve known That you’d go and steal my eyes Oh, I should’ve known From then on I’d lose my life
I’m delirious Are you serious? What goes on in your head? I’m just curious Cos’ I’m hanging here Got me dangling here Think your love, oh your love has got off my head
It’s unbelievably hard to love you But I love you anyway I’ve been trying too hard not to love you But I love you anyway It’s so incredibly hard to love you But I love you anyway And every time I try too hard not to love you I love you anyway
I don’t get it, I really don’t get it I try to walk away but my feet won’t let me I don’t get it, I just don’t get it I try to walk away but my feet won’t let me
You have me baby You drive me crazy You have me baby You drive me crazy
It’s unbelievably hard to love you But I love you anyway I’ve been trying too hard not to love you But I love you anyway You have me baby It’s so incredibly hard to love you You drive me crazy But I love you anyway And every time I try to hard not to love you But I love you anyway
I don’t get it, I really don’t get it I try to walk away but my feet won’t let me I don’t get it, I just don’t get it I try to walk away but my feet won’t let me
Love Me For A Reason
歌詞
Girl when you hold me How you control me You bend and you fold me Any way you please
It must be easy for you To love the things that you do But just a pastime for you I could never be
And I never know girl If I should stay or go Cos the games that you play Are driving me away...
Don't love me for fun girl Let me be the one girl Love Me For a Reason Let the reason be love Don't love me for fun, girl Let me be the one, girl Love Me For a Reason Let the reason be love
Kisses and caresses Are only minor tests, babe Of love turned to stresses Between a woman and a man So if love everlasting Isn't what you're asking I'll have to pass, girl I'm proud to take a stand
I can't continue guessing Because it's only messing With my pride, and my mind So write down this time to time
Don't love me for fun, girl Let me be the one, girl Love Me For a Reason Let the reason be love Don't love me for fun, girl Let me be the one, girl Love Me For a Reason Let the reason be love
I'm just a little olf-fashioned It takes more than a physical attraction My initial reaction is Honey give me a love Not a fascimile of
Don't love me for fun, girl Let me be the one, girl Love Me For a Reason Let the reason be love Don't love me for fun, girl Let me be the one, girl Love Me For a Reason Let the reason be love
All that I need
歌詞
I was lost and alone Trying to grow making my way down that long winding road Had no reason no rhyme Like a song out of time And there you were standing in front of my eyes
How could I be such a fool To let go of love and break all the rules Girl when you walked down that door Left a hole in my heart And now I know for sure
Chorus: You're the air that I breathe Girl you're all that I need And I wanna thank you, lady You're the words that I read You're the light that I see And your love is all that I need
I was searching in vain Playing a game Had no-one else but myself left to blame You came into my world No diamonds or pearls Just like a castle of sand Girl, I almost let love slip right out of my hands And just like a flower needs rain I will stand by your side through the joy and the pain
Repeat Chorus X2
You're all that I need, girl You're the air that I breathe, yeah And I want to thank you (And I want to thank you, lady)
You're the words that I read, girl You're love is all I need, yeah And I want to thank you (And I want to thank you, lady)
You're all that I need, girl You're the air that I breathe, yeah And I want to thank you..
Picture Of You
歌詞
Didn't they say that I would make a mistake Didn't they say you were gonna be trouble People told me you were too much to take I couldn't see it, I didn't want to know
I let you in, and you let me down You messed me up and you turned my life around Left me feeling I had nowhere to go I was alone how was I to know that
You would be there when I needed somebody You would be there the only one could help
I had a picture of you in my mind Never knew it could be so wrong Why'd it take me so long just to find The friend that was there all along
Who'd believe that after all we've been through I'd be able to put my trust in you Goes to show you can forgive and forget Looking back I have no regrets cos
You would be there when I needed somebody You would be there the only one could help me
I had a picture of you in my mind Never knew it could be so wrong Why'd it take me so long just to find The friend that was there all along
You would be there when I needed somebody You would be there the only one could help me
I had a picture of you in my mind Never knew it could be so wrong Why'd it take me so long just to find The friend that was there all along
Had a picture of you in my mind Never knew it could be so wrong Why'd it take me so long just to find The friend that was there all along
Had a picture of you in my mind, all along Never knew it could be so wrong, all along Why'd it take me so long just to find
Hold on little girl Show me what he's done to you Stand up little girl A broken heart can't be that bad When it's through, it's through Fate will twist the both of you So come on baby come on over Let me be the one to show you
I'm the one who wants to be with you Deep inside I hope you feel it too Waited on a line of greens and blues Just to be the next to be with you
Build up your confidence So you can be on top for once wake up who cares about Little boys that talk too much I've seen it all go down Your game of love was all rained out So come on baby, come on over Let me be the one to hold you
Chorus
Why be alone when we can be together baby You can make my life worthwhile And I can make you start to smile
When it's through, it's through Fate will twist the both of you So come on baby come on over Let me be the one to show you
Another ringer with the slick trigger finger For Her Majesty Another one with the golden tongue Poisoning your fantasy Another bill from a killer Turned a thriller to a tragedy
CHORUS A door left open A woman walking by A drop in the water A look in the eye A phone on the table A man on your side Oh, someone that you think that you can trust Is just Another way to die
Another tricky little gun Giving solace to the one That will never see the sunshine Another inch of your life sacrificed for your brother, In the nick of time Another dirty money “heaven sent honey”, Turning on a dime
CHORUS Well, a door left open A woman walking by A drop in the water A look in the eye A phone on the table A man on your side Someone that you think that you can trust Is just Another way to die
(it's just another) Hey! Another way to die! (Another way to die…) Shoot ‘em, bang bang! Oh oh oh oh oh oh! Oh oh oh oh oh oh! Oh oh oh oh oh oh! Oh oh oh oh oh oh…
Another girl with her finger On the world singing to you what you wanna hear? Another gun thrown down and surrendered Took away your fear Hey! Another man that stands right behind you Looking in the mirror
CHORUS Oh, a door left open A woman walking by A drop in the water A look in the eye A phone on the table A man on your side Someone that you think that you can trust Is just Another way to die
It’s another way! Shoot ’em up, bang bang! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! (Another way, another way…) Yeah! (Another way, another way…) Bang bang bang bang!
