Jordan Knight | Lyrics

Give It to You

You say it’s been too long
Since you had some
Just say I turn you on
Like a fire that’s burning inside
You think that I’m the one
You see in your dreams
I know what you mean

It’s creepin’ around in your head
Me holdin’ you down in my bed
You don’t have to say a word
I’m convinced you want this

Baby you know I can give it to you
I can’t deny I’d do it right
Just let me know and I’ll give it to you
Show me where I’ll taste you there
Baby you know and I’ll give it to you
Your body needs a man like me
Anything goes when I give it to you
Without a doubt I’ll turn you out
The feeling is fine giving you everything of mine

I’m the place to be and soon you’ll see
I don’t care who leads as long as we move
Horizontally
Anyone can make you sweat, but I can keep you wet

It’s creeping around in my head
Me holding you down in my bed
I can’t wait to give you some
I’m convinced you need it

A Different Party

I don’t know The way that you want this to go
Baby I’m so sick and tired of playing your games
If you say the word
I’ll be there soon as it’s heard
Maybe I’m wasting my time working on you

I’ll do my best to show you
That I’m the one to hold you
Sometimes you make me lose my mind

[Chorus]
We can all go to a different party
Dancing in the streets with some girls from Maui
We can all rock at the Deja Vu
And you know how we do it
I just want you to start shaking your body
Times are gonna change
Girl you know I’m naughty
I know you know
I’ll go solo
With so many lovers so many offers
To be all over you ain’t part of me

You won’t believe
All of the tricks up my sleeve
Baby you so hypnotize me with your eyes
I can’t control
Long enough to let you know
I’m getting old
Wasting my time waiting on you 
Change

Change My Ways

I’ve seen the crystal ball
And I got a lot to mend
I drank a thousand nights
I had a million friends 

I watched the world go round
At speeding light and then
Sometimes she walks the hall
I hope it never ends 

[Chorus]
No other woman gets to me the way you do
Baby I would change my ways
If I could be with you
Make me your lover
I’ll make your dreams come true
Baby I would change my ways
If I could be with you 

Sometimes it takes a light
To see the room you’re in
You got it all around
You recognize the sun 
I don’t wanna use the sun
To melt away my blues
I need you to keep me warm
And give me something true 

[Repeat Chorus]

I’ve seen the crystal ball
And I got a lot to mend
Do you save a helpless flame
Or rather watch it burn
I need to read from you
‘Cause I gotta lot to learn 

[Repeat Chorus]

I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man

Only last June when her old man ran away
She couldn’t stop crying cause she knew he was gone to stay
10:35 on a lonely Friday night 
She was standing by the fire and ooh she was looking alright 

I asked her if she wanted to dance 
And she said that 
All she wanted was a good man 
And wanted to know 
If I thought I was qualified 

[Chorus]
And I said baby don’t waste your time
I know what’s on your mind
I may be qualified for a one night stand 
But I could never take the place of your man

It hurt me so bad when she told me with tears in her eyes
He was all she ever had and now she wanted to die
He left her with a baby and another one on the way
She couldn’t stop crying cause she knew he was gone to stay

She asked me if we could be friends
And I said oh honey baby that’s a dead end
You know and I know
That we wouldn’t be satisfied

[Chorus]
And I said baby don’t waste your time
I know what’s on your mind baby
Wouldn’t be satisfied with a one night stand
And I could never take the place of your man

Finally Finding Out

I didn’t wanna be silent
I had a lot to say
I didn’t wanna make moves
Until I paved a way
I’m giving in to something
I never gave before
I’m taking on much less
Because I needed more 

[Chorus]
I’m learning everyday
I’m goin’ all the way
I’m finally finding out
What love is all about
There will be no doubt
I’m finally finding out 

And my baby’s so good for me
I can see my future in our family
If you believe in something
You gotta hold on tight
You can always feel it better
If you close your eyes 

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
Our love’s what’s supposed to be
It takes time
Grows out of trust and honesty
If you dive in, change your mind
‘Cause you don’t know how to swim, baby
I turn the lights and go to sleep
Dream of all that we can be
And wake up knowing we can always try 

[Repeat Chorus]

Broken by You

First lonely night
What will I do
I feel my heart breaking in two
I’m such a fool
When will I learn
I fell so deep
Then I got burned 

If you gave just one reason why
My heart just might let go
Maybe one day I will fall in love again
But for now I’ll just leave my heart in two 

[Chorus]
If I never fall in love again 
If I never touch your skin again
If I never feel again this way
If I never see another day
Remember me
Remember this
‘Cause one thing that will never change
Is the feeling in my heart
So broken by you 

Love still remains
After you’re gone
Girl please explain where did I go wrong 

Back to Lyrics ⇧ | Back to Top ⇧

Don’t Run

I feel like the world is on my head
I don’t wanna lose what made me a man
Still when I call your name
I wait, you’ll say, you’re so far away 

Now that I feel the well so dry
I need you to fill me up inside
Baby you turn me on and on 

[Chorus]
Just wanna hold you
I’m dying to show you
Don’t run from me
Don’t turn your back on me
We’re getting closer
Don’t say that it’s over
Don’t run from me
Don’t turn your back on me
Come out of the dark
Don’t tear us apart
Don’t run from my heart 

It took me some time to understand
What all along I held in my hands
If you give me one more chance
I’ll prove, I’m true, to you 

Now every night it seems so wrong
I’m here all alone where you belong
Girl let me turn you on and on 

[Bridge]
I’m such a dreamer
When I’m sleeping, I’m thinking of you
A million roses, waterfalls, around a bed for two
Sippin’ fruits with the best babe
I’m not here for the rest babe
Need your candlelight, sweet love tonight
I can’t afford to lose you

Separate Ways

Looking for a way in
It’s a big step, when you fall in
And every single touch says
How you need it, can you feel me
It comes on a whirlwind
And it blows in, like a hurricane
Till you wonder where you are
And how you got so far 

[Chorus]
I’ll be with you
When we go our separate ways
You’ll be with me
When we go our separate ways
I have to believe when you’re fast asleep
I’ll still be the first one in your dreams
‘Cause I’ll be with you
When we go our separate ways 

We had to find a way out
For escaping, from the faking
Put our open hearts up
Not expecting they’d be taken
You know that I will always
Take you with me, when I don’t know where to go
You know that you will always be the answer
To the questions I don’t know 

[Chorus]
I’ll be with you
When we go our separate ways
You’ll be with me
When we go our separate ways 

[Bridge]
Baby sometimes I get so excited
The night that we met
I was bursting inside
We know that
It must have been fate
That we found it too late
A special relationship died
And I hate that night
It was so good when
It felt like it should
Are the ones that we can’t have again
When times just get too tough
And we’ve both had enough
Maybe we’ll find out
That we’re still in love 

Back to Lyrics ⇧ | Back to Top ⇧

Close My Eyes

I live my days with the nights that we spent
All the love we shared
I put my heart on the side for a while
Knowing you’re not there
I tried to carry on
To face the fact you’re gone
But I need you 
So I close my eyes 

[Chorus]
Close my eyes
And I dream about you
I close my eyes
I can almost feel you in my arms again 

Evenings of passion and cries of joy
Hold your memory tight 
You’ve been away so long 
I sing so many songs about you
I just close my eyes 

[Repeat Chorus]

No one really sees You watching over me
And I hope you feel me watching over you
And when you go to sleep
I pray the Lord to keep
You in my dreams
When I close my eyes 

[Repeat Chorus]

When You’re Lonely

I know he hurt you 
I see you cryin 
Girl I can stop the rain from falling 
Just let me hold you 
I wanna tell you 
All the things you need to hear 

Let me be the one you need
Everything you want I’ll be 

[Chorus]
Baby when you’re lonely
I’ll be there to dry your tears
Baby when you’re lonely
Don’t you worry I’m right here 

He always told you
He never showed you
Love is more than saying the words
Someone to talk to
Someone to listen
Something that I know you’ve been missing 

[Bridge]
To take away the pain you feel
You never had a love that’s real
I will always be holding you close to my heart
Girl we’ll never be apart

Can I Come Over Tonight

You are the kind of woman
Only found in dreams
He is the kind of man
Who leaves your heart to bleed

Let me wipe your tears
Protect your fears
And make you feel like you can love again
Baby I’m here waiting for you to call me in

Can I come over tonight
Can I come over tonight
Can I come over tonight (baby)
Can I come over tonight
Can I come over

And what can I do
To make it alright for you
Tonight, can I come over tonight
Can I come over

I saw you with him
And he could not have treated you worse
Like he was ashamed
To be holding a goddess of the earth

If you were mine
I’d spend my time
I’d dedicate so you could love again
Baby I’m here waiting for you to call me in

(Can I come over tonight)
(Can I come over tonight)
Let me come over
(Can I come over tonight )
Girl I wanna show you what love’s about
(Can I come over tonight)
(Can I come over)

Is there anything I can do
(what can I do)
To make it alright for you
(to make it alright) 
tonight tonight 
Baby baby
Can I can I
(Can I come over)

Girl your man ain’t nothing if your man ain’t me
Girl I swear I’ll be there for your every need
You know he don’t treat you right

(Can I come over tonight)
Tonight
(Can I come over tonight)
You bet I’ll come over tonight
(Can I come over tonight)
Oh yeah yeah
(Can I come over tonight)
Baby all you do is right 
(Can I come over tonight )
Let me be with you tonight
(Can I come over tonight)
You know he don’t treat you right
(Can I come over)

What d’you want me to do
To make it alright for you
To make it alright tonight tonight
(Can I come over tonight)
Can I can I tonight
(Can I come over)

(What can I do )
(To make it alright tonight)
