Desperate Fools
(eric carmen)
Ive been up too high
Ive been down too low
Ive been searchin for somethin
With nowhere to go
Thought Id make it alone
But Im so far from home
In a town full of desperate fools
Oh, the sun beats down
On the l.a. scene
But you cant feel the cold
When the grass looks so green
And the games that Ive played
Were not wort what I paid
In a town full of desperate fools
Ive been takin my life
One day at a time
Tryin to piece it all together
But I know in my mind
That Im startin to be

Boats Against The Current
(eric carmen)
I know its over
You know its over
Were just goin through the motions
But were sailin separate oceans worlds apart
And you know its breakin my heart
I was a dreamer
You were a dreamer
But perfection is consuming
And it seems were only human after all
And weve both been takin the fall
But tomorrow
Well run a little bit faster
Tomorrow
Were gonna find what were after at last
Feelings that we left in the past
Theres romance in the sunset
Were boats against the current to the end
Maybe were older
Maybe were colder

She Did It
(eric carmen)
I set to sea on a ship called emptiness
Cast away on the island of loneliness
Lookin for love
Ooh, and I was lookin for love
(you know)
I didnt think she could hear my s.o.s.
But she appeared like an angel of tenderness
Sent from above
Oh, she was bringing me love
Oh, mama, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
Ooh, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
Looking back, making love was meaningless
Till she touched me with her warmth
And a gentleness Id never known
Ooh, and she was guiding me home
(now I)
Now I see all the things in life I missed

Overnight Sensation
(eric carmen)
Well i know it sounds funny
But i'm not in it for the money, no
I don't need reputation
And i'm not in it for the show
I just want a hit record
Want to hear it on the radio
Want a big hit record
One that everybody's got to know
Well the program director don't pull it
Then it's bound to get back the bullet
So bring the group down to the station
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
I've been tryin' to write the lyric
Not offensive but satiric, too
If you can get it in the "a" slot
It's just gotta make a mint for you
And i want a hit record
Want to hear it on the radio
Want a big hit record

On Broadway
(barry mann/cynthia weil/mike stoller/jerry leiber)
They say the neon lights are bright
On broadway
They say theres always magic in the air
But when youre walkin down that street
And you aint got enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and youre nowhere
They say the chicks are somethin else
On broadway
But lookin at them just gives me the blues
cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime wont even shine your shoes
They say that I wont last too long
On broadway
Ill catch a greyhound bus for home they all say
But theyre dead wrong, I know they are
cause I can play this here guitar
And I wont quit till Im a star
On broadway

I Need Your Lovin
(eric carmen)
Recorded by freeport
Mainstream mrc 730 / 1969
Your love
Is softer than the rain
Smile and ease the pain
And heal my mind again
Ive got to turn away to keep myself from cryin
But everywhere I turn, I only see you
I need your lovin baby
Got to have your lovin baby
I need your lovin baby
Ive got to have you in every way
Ive got to have you in every way
Ive got to have you in every way
I need your lovin baby
Got to have your lovin baby
I need your lovin baby
Right now
I give my love to you

Nobody Knows
(eric carmen/david smalley)
When I see the way she looks at him
Hurts so bad you know its such a sin
To see her love him, while I just walk on by
Nobody knows
What it does to me
(nobody knows)
No one could ever see
Nobody knows what it does to me
Now those smiles and looks upon her face
Are meant for someone else whose in my place
And hes her lover the way I used to be
Nobody knows
What it does to me
(nobody knows)
No one could ever see
Nobody knows what it does to me
I can see her dancing with someone else
Holding him so close while Im by myself
I just want to hit him but that wont do

Should I Wait
(david smalley)
Dont you know youre gonna lose
If you love somebody that dont love you?
Youll believe him when hes untrue
But I cant bear seein him break your heart in two
Ive let it happen much too long
Should I wait, hopin youll find out on your own?
Its me whos loved you for so long
If he hurts you with his lies
Dont let it take too long to open your eyes
Youre gonna see through his disguise
But I cant bear seein him break your heart in two
Im tired of tryin to play it cool
Should I wait, hopin youll find out on your own?
The one you love is just a fool
If I had the chance Id make you see
When you fall in love how it should be
A love that makes you sad can only turn out bad
So Ill be hangin round until youre free
Dont you know youre gonna lose

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 dont mean
Were gonna make it work somehow
Whoa, and darlin
Its not the end of the world
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
Aah, darlin
Its not the end of the world
As long as you need me
As long as you need me
Love isnt easy
And theres no guarantee
Everything has to turn out right
We got each other
And thats all that we need

Marathon Man
(eric carmen)
Twenty years with my brain in a book
Tryin to find out who I am
Endless nights and olympian dreams
Of a race I never ran
Someones callin my name
Its the crowd in the stands
Dont know how I became
What I suddenly am
Marathon man, keep a-runnin
Marathon man, keep a-runnin
Ive been searchin so long
But the answer is finally at hand
Im a marathon man
Wind is gone and my heads in a haze
But I must keep up the pace
Got to think about strategy here
If I hope to win the race
Someones callin my name
Its the crowd in the stands
