Joe Lynn Turner 14 Years Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I try to feel the sunshine, you bring the rain
You try and hold me down with your complaints
You cry and moan and complain, you whine and tear
Up to my neck in sorrow, the touch you bring

[Pre-Chorus]
You just don't step inside to, to fourteen years
So hard to keep my own head, that's what I say and you know
I been the beggar, I played the thief
I was the dog they all tried to beat
[Chorus]
But it's been fourteen years of silence, it's been fourteen years of pain
It's been fourteen years that are gone forever and I'll never have again

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Your stupid girlfriends tell you that I'm to blame
Well, they're all used-up has-beens out of the game
This timе I'll have the last word, hear what I say
I triеd to see it your way, it won't work today, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
You just don't step inside to, to fourteen years So hard to keep my own head, that's what I say and you know
I been the dealer, hangin' on your street
I was the dog they all tried to beat

[Chorus]
But it's been fourteen years of silence, it's been fourteen years of pain
It's been fourteen years that are gone forever and I'll never have again

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 3]
Bullshit and contemplation, gossip's their trade
If they knew half the real truth, what would they say?
Well, I'm past the point of concern, it's time to play
These last four years of madness sure put me straight
[Outro]
Don't get back fourteen years in just one day
So hard to keep my own head, just go away you know
Just like a hooker, she said, "Nothing's for free"
I tried to see it your way
I tried to see it your way
