      CHER SONG LYRICS

      BELIEVE

      After love, after love (repeat)

      No matter how hard I try
      You keep pushing me aside
      And I can't break through
      There's no talking to you

      So sad that you're leaving
      Takes time to believe it
      But after all is said and done
      You're going to be the lonely one, Ohh Oh

      CHORUS: Do you believe in life after love
      I can feel something inside me say
      I really don't think you're strong enough, No
      Do you believe in life after love
      I can feel something inside me say
      I really don't think you're strong enough, No

      What am I supposed to do
      Sit around and wait for you
      And I can't do that
      There's no turning back

      I need time to move on
      I need love to feel strong
      'Cause I've had time to think it through
      And maybe I'm too good for you Ohh Oh

      CHORUS

      But I know that I'll get through this
      'Cause I know that I am strong
      I don't need you anymore
      Oh I don't need you anymore
      I don't need you anymore
      No I don't need you anymore

      CHORUS repeat to fade

      STRONG ENOUGH

      I don't need your sympathy
      There's nothing you can say or do for me
      And I don't want a miracle
      You'll never change for no one

      And I hear your reasons why
      Where did you sleep last night
      And was she worth it
      Was she worth it, Cos

      CHORUS: I'm strong enough to live without you
      Strong enough and I quit crying
      Long enough now I'm strong enough
      To know you gotta go
      There's no more to say
      So save your breath and walk away
      No matter what I hear you say
      I'm strong enough to know you gotta go

      So you feel misunderstood
      Baby have I got news for you
      On being used I could write the book
      But you don't wanna hear about it

      Cos I've been losing sleep
      And you've been going cheap
      And she ain't worth half of me it's true
      Now I'm telling you, that

      CHORUS

      Come hell or waters high
      You'll never see me cry
      2This is our last goodbye it's true
      I'm telling you, Now

      CHORUS repeat to fade

      IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME

      I don't know why I did the things I did
      I don't know why I said the things I said
      Pride's like a knife it can cut deep inside
      Words are like weapons they wound sometimes
      I didn't really mean to hurt you
      I didn't want to see you go
      I know I made you cry
      But baby

      CHORUS
      If I could turn back time
      If I could find a way
      I'd take back those words that hurt you
      And you'd stay
      If I could reach the stars
      I'd give them all to you
      Then you'd love me
      Love me like you used to do
      If I could turn back time

      My world was shattered
      I was torn apart
      Like someone took a knife
      and drove it deep in my heart
      When you walked out that door
      I swore that I didn't care
      But I lost everything darling then and there
      Too strong to tell you I was sorry
      Too proud to tell you I was wrong
      I know that I was blind
      And darling

      CHORUS

      I didn't really mean to hurt you
      I didn't want to see you go
      I know I made you cry
      But oh, if I could turn back time

      YOU WOULDN'T KNOW LOVE

      So now you're back
      So you've had your fun
      And now you're comin' round again
      Sure baby I should let you in
      So you can let me down again
      Well it doesn't really matter what you say or do
      You can tell me that you love me
      But I know it ain't true

      CHORUS
      'Cause you wouldn't know love
      If it knocked down your door
      You wouldn't know it now
      You never knew it before
      If it fell in your hands from the heavens above
      You wouldn't know love
      No, you wouldn't know love

      You say you've changed
      Say you've done me wrong
      But you won't do it anymore
      No darlin' I don't have to tell you
      Where I heard that line before

      Baby you'd say anything to get back into my heart
      But when it comes to lovin' you don't even
      know where to start

      CHORUS

      Did you think I'd believe anything that you'd say
      Let you come back to me
      Baby there's just no way
      Baby I've had enough
      You wouldn't know love

      CHORUS REPEAT TO FADE

      JUST LIKE JESSE JAMES

      You're struttin' into town like you're slingin' a gun
      Just a small town dude with a big city attitude
      Honey are ya lookin' for some trouble tonight
      Well all right

      You think you're so bad, drive the women folk wild
      Shoot 'em all down with the flash of your pearly smile
      Honey but you met your match tonight
      Oh, that's right

      You think you'll knock me off my feet
      'til I'm flat on the floor
      'Til my heart is cryin' Indian and I'm beggin for more
      So come on baby
      Come on baby show me what that loaded gun is for

      CHORUS
      If you can give it
      I can take it
      'Cause if this heart is gonna break it's gonna
      take a lot to break it
      I know tonight
      Somebody's gonna win the fight
      So if you're so tough
      Come on and prove it
      You heart is down for the count and you know
      you're gonna lose it
      Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
      Just like Jesse James

      You're an outlaw lover and I'm after your hide
      Well you ain't so strong, won't be long 'til
      your hands are tied
      Tonight I'm gonna take you in dead or alive
      That's right

      You break the laws of love in the name of desire
      Take ten steps back cause I'm ready baby
      Aim and fire
      Baby there's nowhere you gonna run tonight
      Ooh that's right

      Well you've had your way with love but it's
      the end of the day
      Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag
      your heart away
      So come on baby
      Come on baby
      Come on baby you know there ain't
      nothing left to say

      CHORUS
      INSTRUMENTAL

      You think you'll knock me off my feet
      'til I'm flat on the floor
      'Til my heart is cryin' Indian and I'm beggin for more
      So come on baby
      Come on baby, come on

      CHORUS

      Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
      Just like Jesse James
      Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
      Just like Jesse James

      I'm gonna shoot you down Jesse James

      AFTER ALL

      Well, here we are again
      I guess it must be fate
      We've tried it on our own
      But deep inside we've known
      We'd be back to set things straight

      I still remember when
      Your kiss was so brand new
      Every memory repeats
      Every step I take retreats
      Every journey always brings me back to you

      CHORUS
      After all the stops and starts
      We keep coming back to these two hearts
      Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
      After all that we've been through
      It all comes down to me and you
      I guess it's meant to be
      Forever you and me
      After all

      When love is truly right
      It lives from year to year
      It changes as it goes
      And on the way it grows
      But it never disappears

      CHORUS

      Always just beyond my touch
      You know I needed you so much
      After all, what else is living for?

      CHORUS x 2

      I FOUND SOMEONE

      Don't you know
      So many things they come and go
      Like your words that once rang true
      Just like the love I though I found in you
      And I remember the thunder
      Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
      But you walked way when I needed you most

      CHORUS
      Now, maybe baby maybe baby
      I found someone
      To take away the heartache
      To take away the loneliness
      I've been feelin' since you've been gone
      Since you've been gone

      Dry your eyes
      I never could bear to see you cry
      Someday your love will shine through
      Show ya the feelings that ya never really knew
      But baby don't ya love that thunder
      Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
      You're lookin' at me but ya still don't believe

      CHORUS

      Too long on the border line
      Wonderin' if your love was really mine
      But you left me with open eyes
      And when I
      realised

      CHORUS

      BANG BANG

      CHORUS
      Bang bang you shot me down
      Bang bang I hit the ground
      Bang bang that awful sound
      Bang bang my baby shot me down

      I was five and you were six
      We rode on horses made of sticks
      I wore black you wore white
      You would always win the fight

      CHORUS

      Seasons came and changed the time
      I grew up I called you mine
      You would always laugh and say
      Remember when we used to play

      CHORUS

      Music played and people sang
      Just for me the church bells rang
      After echoes from a gun
      We both vowed that we'd be one
      Now he's gone I don't know why
      Sometimes I cry
      You didn't say goodbye
      You didn't take the time to lie

      CHORUS

      WE ALL SLEEP ALONE

      Somebody somewhere turns off the lights
      Somebody all alone faces the night
      You got to be strong
      When you're out on your own
      'Cause sooner or later
      We all sleep alone

      Nobody nowhere holds the key to your heart
      When love's a possession it'll tear you apart
      You may have lovers wherever you roam
      But sooner or later
      We all sleep alone

      The young and the young at heart wait
      But the wait never ends in the soul
      When you feel like it's all blown away
      Independence has come
      And into the night I go

      Don't make no promises
      That I can't keep
      Won't be no prisoner
      Of somebody's needs
      Well you may have lovers
      Wherever you roam
      But sooner or later
      We all sleep alone
