Lyrics Foreigner - Stranger In My Own House

Lyrics Foreigner - Stranger In My Own House

(a capella: she said: boy, your luck is running out... She make me feel like a
stranger... In my own house)
I come stumbling in at a quarter to three
To the sound of my own dog growlin' at me
I'm scared to move or turn on a light
You've got me creepin' around in the dark
Like a thief in the night
I've got no excuse, I should have known
I've got no place to live
I never feel at home

I walk into the kitchen to see what's there
I'm tired and I'm hungry but the cupboard's bare
I've been working all day and all night too
I can't believe this is all I have to come back to

I guess I'll take a look upstairs, in the danger zone
I wonder what I'm doing here
When I never feel at home

I'm a stranger in my own house
I've got the keys to the door
But I'm still locked out
I'm a stranger in my own house
I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow this house down
Can't be a stranger in my own house

I see the do not disturb sign on my bedroom door
What is this sheet and pillow laying on the floor
I wore out my welcome
I hear you loud and clear
It's time to get a few things straight around here

I've got no excuse, I should have known
I've got a place to live but I never feel at home
I'm just a stranger in my own house
I've got the keys to the door
But I'm still locked out
Stranger in my own house
I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow this house down
Can't be a stranger in my own house

I've got no excuse, I should have known
With a woman like you I'm better off alone
I'm a stranger in my own house
I've got the keys to the door
But I'm still locked out
I'm just a stranger in my own house
Oh, honey I'm home
I'm just a stranger in my own house
I'm just a stranger in my own house
You got a lion on your hands girl, not a mouse!
I'm just a stranger in my own house
I'm just a stranger in my own house
Well, somebody's got to go...
Stranger
Stranger

Lyrics Foreigner - White Lie

Lyrics Foreigner - White Lie

One little white lie
One white lie surrounds us
One white lie won't stop the love
That I feel around us

Darlin', do you think about me
What I feel for you, don't you ever doubt me
You see the lock on the door
Of this heart, but you hold the key
I need the trust you can give
Is there something that you need from me?

One little white lie
One white lie surrounds us
One white lie won't stop the love
That I feel around us

Secrets, and the way we keep them
Between you and me
Promise we'll never need them
I can see something so true
No one else could ever see
And I'll never chance losing you
I believe my heart, I hear what it's telling me

One little white lie
One white lie surronds us
One white lie won't stop the love
That I feel around us

One little white lie
One white lie tears us apart
One white lie won't stop the love
That's waiting in this heart
That's waiting in this heart

Temptation leave us alone
'Cause I know you're always there
But white lies can weigh like stone
And in this world I hear them everywhere

One little white lie, ooh yeah
One white lie surrounds us
One white lie won't stop the love
That I feel around us

One little white lie, one lie
One white lie tears us apart
One white lie won't stop the love
That's waiting in this heart
That's waiting in this heart

One lie, one lie
One little white lie, one white lie
One white lie, one little white lie

Lyrics Foreigner - Mountain Of Love

Lyrics Foreigner - Mountain Of Love

Open up your window
Open up your door
I need a taste of your sweet, sweet love
That's all I'm livin' for
I've been down on my luck
Down on my knees
Just waitin' for a chance to show you, baby
I only aim to please
Hey, hey, honey
I'm out on the edge, I'm on the borderline
Hey, little honey
You won't believe what's goin' through my mind
I'll build a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
Every time I think of you
You'll feel a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
See it risin' up, and all you've gotta do
Is get high on my mountain of love
There ain't no use in pretendin'
'Cause I've got my eyes on you, baby
The first time that I saw you girl, I knew
Nobody else would do
Hey, hey, honey
Take a little trip, take a ride with me
Hey, little honey
'Cause I've got something you've just gotta see
It's a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
High enough to touch the sky
You'll feel a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
See it risin' up, and all you've gotta do
Is get high on my mountain of love
Hey, hey, honey
I'm out on the edge, I'm on the borderline
Say, little honey
Come with me and we'll climb, climb, climb
Up on a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
High enough to touch the sky
A mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
Can't you feel it burnin' up inside
I'm gonna build a mountain of love
Every time I think of you
You'll feel a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
Risin' up, and all you've gotta do
Is get high on my mountain of love, yeah
Get on up
Build me that, babe
Climb on top now
Get up
Oh, I'm gonna get high on my mountain of love
Yeah, yeah

Lyrics Foreigner - Break It Up

Lyrics Foreigner - Break It Up

Made myself a prisoner
I locked myself away
Can't remember the last time
I saw the light of day
Don't want to face life
Feel I've been betrayed
I want you to tell me
Where our love went astray

So can't you wait one more minute
Why can't you wait one more day
Let's get it straight
Cause it's a big mistake
You better think about it

I don't want to break it up
Why do we have to break it up
Never ever want to break it up oh no
I only want to make it up tonight

You say you've thought about it
But you sound so cold
You make it look like our love
Can be bought or sold
But you won't listen
You say it's way too late
That something is missing
And now you just can't wait

Why can't you wait one more minute
Why can't you wait one more day
Let's get it straight
This is a big mistake
We better think about it

I don't want to break it up
Why do we have to break it up
Never ever want to break it up oh no
I only want to make it up tonight

So don't say break it up
I want to hear you say we'll make it up
I don't want to break it up
Ooh baby why can't we make it up tonight
Make it up tonight

And I ask myself
What's wrong with me
How could I be so blind
Although she tried to give me everything
I still couldn't see
Now as I watch our love slip away
I'm beggin' you beggin' you please
Don't break it up
Take a little time and make it up
I don't want to break it up oh no
I only want to make it up tonight

I don't want to break it up
Baby let me make it up

Lyrics Foreigner - Growing Up The Hard Way

Lyrics Foreigner - Growing Up The Hard Way

He's got nothing to say, he's got no excuse
He's just made that way, and he's gonna stay that way
Like a dog on the loose in a firework display in a world of his own
No, no, no, he won't back down or go running back home

He's come a long way in life
He's got a long way to go
He don't even know, he don't care because
He's growing up the hard way
In and out of trouble every day
Growing up the hard way
Now no tellin' where you'll end up, boy

And he's got nothing to say, like he's lost for the worlds, his mind is in a
daze
That's his way, it's just a little game he plays
He's got nowhere to run while the city sleeps he wanders alone
Cuttin' through the steel and the hearts of stone

He's come a long way in life
He's got a long way to go
He don't even know, but he don't care because
He's growing up the hard way
In and out of trouble every day
Growing up the hard way
You'd better walk the straight and narrow

Growing up the hard way
In and out of trouble every day
Growing up the hard way
Never know what you're in for, boy

He's come a long way in life
He's got a long way to go
He don't wanna know, and he don't care because
He's growing up the hard way
In and out of trouble every day
He's growing up the hard way
Yeah, and he's gonna stay that way
You see, he's growing up the hard way
Walk the straight and narrow yeah, maybe someday
But still he's growing up the hard way
It's just the way he's grown up
Yeah, growing up the hard way
There ain't no other way
Growing up the hard way

Lyrics Foreigner - Down On Love

Lyrics Foreigner - Down On Love

Some people stay all alone and hide
They don't even want to know the reason why
They've given up on finding someone new
But new love comes, it's gonna come for you
When true love comes, it's gonna comfort you

Now you say you've got a broken heart
You oughta know this side of love can leave you torn apart
Dry your eyes 'cause your heart's gonna mend
And maybe tonight you'll fall in love again
Yeah, maybe tonight you'll fall in love again

But I know, I know that you're down on love
But you're wrong, so wrong
To be down on love

Now love seems so far away
Your skies are so cloudy
And the tears come like fallin' rain
Face up to it and don't pretend
And maybe tonight you'll fall in love again
Yeah, maybe tonight you'll fall in love again
Just once in a lifetime you'll realize
When love takes two, only one heart cries

But you're wrong, so wrong to be down on love
You know you're not the only one
See I've been down on love

In matters of the heart
You better know before you start
You can't get down on love

So always be prepared
To be alone and a little scared
But never down on love

You see you can't stay down forever, girl
Down on love
Come on, now
Don't get down on love
This ain't right baby, no
Down on love
Don't you go through life livin' down on love
Down on love
Don't you go through life livin' down on love
Down on love
Don't you go through life down on love
Down on love
Down on love

Lyrics Foreigner - When The Night Comes Down

Lyrics Foreigner - When The Night Comes Down

Jimmy got lost in a schoolboy phase
You see the lines got crossed at a young and tender age
He dropped out of school and with the new crowd he'd meet
He left his broken home for a new life out on the street
See the young boys laugh
They're gettin' high on a midnight run
They've got it all figured out
They don't need no help from anyone, no, no
Jimmy never knew real love in his heart
No feelings remain
Somehow he knew he'd never be a part
So alone with his pain
When the night comes down
Out there on the streets, so many sad, sad stories
When the night comes down
They're runnin' out of hope in this land of glory
They're runnin' in the night
When the night comes down
See the young boy cry, he's cryin' out, all alone
And the hurt inside, he's gotta face it all on his own
And the church bells ring and the Lord is praised
But they ain't got time for Jimmy on their holy, holy days
Jimmy never felt real love in his heart
No feelings remain
Somehow he knew he'd never be a part
So alone with his pain
When the night comes down
Out there on the streets, so many sad, sad stories
When the night comes down
They're runnin' out of hope in this land of glory
Just runnin' in the night
When the night comes down
Oh, it's a cold hearted town
Nothin' but a battleground, yeah yeah
And they're runnin' out of hope in this land of glory
When the night comes down
When the night comes down
On this battleground, yeah
So many, so many sad, sad stories
Oh, you can see it every night
When the night comes down
See the young boy cry

Lyrics Foreigner - Only Heaven Knows

Lyrics Foreigner - Only Heaven Knows

My intentions are good, my hearts in the right place now
You see I wanna be good to you, baby but sometimes I just don't know how
And the hand of fate, reaches out once more
And pulls me though that gate, like one hundred times before
Ooh, there are the nights, when things just work out right
No one could be as close as you and me
Then it all breaks down and we can't find that common ground
That's not the way, the way it oughta be, baby, oh, oh
Why do we laugh, why do we cry? Why do we feel this pain inside?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
In this game of hit and miss, how long can we go on like this?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
But if we threw it all away, it's something we'd regret someday
Oh, heaven knows
Why do we do these foolish things?
Only heaven knows
My intentions are good, my actions are hard to explain
I get misunderstood sometimes, there's nobody but me to blame
I've gotta speak my mind and deal with the situation
Open the lines, the lines of communication
Ooh there are the nights, we really get it right
Makin' love, endlessly
And then there are the days, we go our separate ways
As though there's nothin' left of you and me, baby, oh no
Nothin' left of you and me
Why do we laugh, why do we cry? Why do we feel this pain inside?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
In this game of hit and miss, how long can we go on like this?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
But if we threw it all away, it's something we'd regret someday
Oh, heaven knows
Why do we laugh, why do we cry?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
Why do we feel this pain inside?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
But if we threw it all away, it's something we'd regret someday, oh
Why do we do these foolish things?
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
You see, I wanna be good to you, baby
Heaven knows
Why do we feel this pain inside?
You see I wanna be good to you, baby
Heaven knows, oh yeah
Heaven knows, heaven knows

Lyrics Foreigner - Rain

Lyrics Foreigner - Rain

Brother, always reaching far too high
But I can see the tragic side, and it ain't easy
And brother you won't let anybody help
Why do you sacrifice yourself?
You can't go on this way

Tell me why, oh why?
Why don't you open up your heart?
Let the light from inside
Show us who you are

And when it looks like rain
And when the dark clouds fill your sky
There ain't no good reason why
You've got to feel the pain

Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the sun's gonna shine
Even when it looks like rain

Hey sister, another story must be told
Just count the blessings you still hold
What's done is done
Hey sister, you can find the one you need
Don't have to live the life you lead
Don't be the lonely one

Tell me why, oh why?
Why don't you open up your heart?
Let the light from inside
Show us who you are

And when it looks like rain
And when the dark clouds fill your sky
There ain't no good reason why
You've got to feel the pain
Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the sun's gonna shine, oooh

Don't get down and don't get washed away, oooh
Just remind yourself every day
That into each life
A little rain must fall

So let it rain
Rain, oooh
Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high

I know the sun's gonna shine
Even when it looks like rain
Rain, rain, rain
When it looks like rain...

Lyrics Foreigner - Feels Like The First Time

Lyrics Foreigner - Feels Like The First Time

I would climb any mountain, sail across the stormy sea
If that's what it takes me baby, to show how much you mean to me
And I guess that it's just the woman in you, that brings out the man in me
I know I can't help myself, you're all in the world to me

[Chorus]
It feels like the first time, feels like the very first time
It feels like the first time, it feels like the very first time

I have waited a lifetime, spent my time so foolishly
But now that I found you, together we'll make history
And I know that it must be the woman in you, that brings out the man in me
I know I can't help myself, you're all my eyes can see

And it feels like the first time, like it never did before
Feels like the first time, like we've opened up the door
Feels like the first time, like it never will again, never again

[Chorus]

Open up the door, won't you open up the door

[Chorus]

Lyrics Foreigner - With Heaven On Our Side

Lyrics Foreigner - With Heaven On Our Side

Time, our precious time
In the beginning
Your heart and mine
I thought our love
Was one of a kind
I thought we were winning
But I was one step behind

Words, I couldn't say
The words that would keep you
From running away
But I should've tried
Even begged you to stay
I felt the tears of an angel
Fall from Heaven that day

I know, I know
Your voice keeps haunting me
Come home, come home
Come on back to me
I know it ain't easy
You're part of me
You're the wings on my heart

Can we give our love another try?
Can we keep our broken dream alive?
Now more than ever
With Heaven on our side

Can we give our love one more night?
I miss you angel, can we make it right?
Now and forever, with Heaven on our side

This tender love slipped through our hands
Two broken hearts, could not withstand it
Girl, I know what I put you through
If you need me now, I'll be there for you

And I know it ain't easy

You're a part of me
You're the wings on my heart

Can we give our love another try?
Can we keep our broken dream alive?
Now more than ever
With Heaven on our side

Can we give our love just one more night?
Angel baby, shine your golden light
Now and forever, with Heaven on our side

Give our love another try?
Can we keep our broken dream alive?
Now more than ever
With Heaven, Heaven on our side

Lyrics Foreigner - Ready For The Rain

Lyrics Foreigner - Ready For The Rain

Early in the morning, before the daylight
I hear the sound of thunder, comin' through in the night
I lie awake and I wonder , where my life is goin'
Am I on a road leadin' nowhere, there's no way of knowin'
'Cause I've seen the lightning
And I'm ready for the rain to fall

Now I'm standin' on a mountain, lookin' into the sky
I see the clouds come rollin' in, water fills my eyes
I don't know what's in the future, no one can say
Don't want to think about the past, I've gotta live for today
'Cause I've seen the lightnin' now
I need to find my own way, while I've still got time

And I'm ready for the rain to fall
'Cause I've heard the thunder
And I'm ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, ready for the rain
I've got to rise above it all
And get ready for the rain to fall

Did you ever know someone, who had lost their way
Built their own little kingdom, and just blew it all away
I'm not ashamed to admit it, that someone was me
I'm gonna look to the future now, 'cause I've set myself free
And I've seen the lightnin'
I'm gonna set myself free, while I've still got time

Get ready for the rain to fall
'Cause I've heard the thunder
And I'm ready for the rain to fall
I'm ready, ready for the rain
I've got to rise above it all
And get ready for the rain to fall, while I've still got time....
[Repeat chorus]

Lyrics Foreigner - Woman In Black

Lyrics Foreigner - Woman In Black

I knew the moment
I walked through that door
I felt so close to a burning sensation
It got so warm
As I moved across the floor
My body aching with anticipation
I saw a dark silhouette, at the table
I tried to talk, but I was unable
She drew me in right under her spell
I was hypnotized by the sudden temptation
Of that woman in black, she's a mystery
She's everything a woman should be
Woman in black, she's got a hold on me
She's in control, she won't set me free
She is a woman
She's not a girl anymore
The kind that stirs up a young man's imagination
She's dressed to kill
And I'm so ready to fall
Into her world full of strange fascination
I see that dark silhouette, at the table
I can't resist, my body's not able
She draws me in, but she teaches me well
I never need any explanation
From that woman in black, she's a mystery
She's everything a woman should be
I said, woman in black, got a hold on me
She's in control, she won't set me free
Ooh, woman in black
It's too late now
I can't turn back
'cause I'm a fool for that woman
Woman in black
Ooh, ooh, woman in black
Ooh, that woman in black, she's a mystery
She's everything a woman should be
That woman in black, she's got a hold on me
She's in control, she won't set me free
She's my mysterious mistress
But she leaves me so helpless
My woman in black
She's a dark senorita
My woman in black
No Sunday school teacher
My woman in black
We're keeping it a secret
We meet in the night
We're partners in silence
Strangers in daylight

Lyrics Foreigner - The Modern Day

Lyrics Foreigner - The Modern Day

I stand up for my pride
I don't wanna be just like anyone
In this world I cannot hide
I must finish what I have begun

That's the way I play
In the modern day
'Cause I wanna stay
In the modern day

Got a picture in my mind
Of the way that I wanna be
So I search until I find
The power inside of me

It's another phase
Of the modern day

Gotta face up to this life
Can't let it get the best of me
So I make a sacrifice
If that's the way it has to be

I'm doin' what I feel is right
I'm ready if I need to fight

In the modern way
In the modern day

Gotta face up to this life
Can't let it get the best of me
If I make a sacrifice
That's the way it has to be

Like a motor in overdrive
I feel good and I feel alive
I got no need to beg or borrow
Got a shortcut to tomorrow

And I'm on my way
To the modern day
Got a lot to say
In the modern day

'Cause I need to stay
In the modern day

In the modern day
