Bonnie Tyler

Страна: Великобритания

Настоящее имя певицы Бонни Тайлер (Bonnie Tyler) - Гейнор Хопкинс (Gaynor Hopkins), она родилась 8 июня 1951 года в Скивене, Южный Уэльс. Гейнор была младшим ребенком в семье (у нее было два брата и три сестры). Родные и близкие девочки очень любили музыку, а сама Гейнор с детства увлекалась записями Дженис Джоплин и Тины Тернер.

Творческий путь Бонни начался с победы на конкурсе талантов, где она исполнила песню "Those Were The Days" своей землячки Мэри Хопкин. Благодаря необычно мощному голосу ее выбрали из нескольких сотен подростков в группу BOBBY WAYNE AND THE DIXIES, а через два года она уже собрала свою команду MUMBLES (позже IMAGINATION), с которой выступала в клубах и пабах. Взяв псевдоним Bonnie Tyler, она полностью посвятила себя музыке.

В 1975 на «RCA Records» Bonnie Tyler записала дебютный сингл "My Honeycomb", который, однако, успеха не имел. Это была чуть ли не единственная сохранившаяся песня, на которой голос Бонни имел свой природный тембр (без хрипотцы). В 1976 ей была проведена операция на гортани (при обследовании нашли узелковые утолщения). Операция прошла успешно, если не считать того, что Бонни стала петь почти как Род Стюарт, хотя ей больше нравилось сравнение с Тиной Тернер.

В 1977 новая Bonnie Tyler предстала перед слушателями со своим дебютным альбомом "The World Starts Tonight", после чего впервые уехала гастролировать за пределы Великобритании. Сингл "It's Heartache" с ее второго альбома "Natural Force" занял четвертое место в Великобритании и долгое время возглавлял чарты по всей Европе. Альбом разошелся фантастическим 6-миллионным тиражом по всему миру (это рекорд в дискографии Тайлер).

В начале 1982, после двух менее успешных альбомов и нескольких невзрачных синглов, Bonnie Tyler решила сменить лейбл и нашла нового продюсера — Джима Стейнмена, написавшего для Meat Loaf его блокбастер "Bat Out Of Hell".

Альбом "Faster Than The Speed Of Night" (1983), как и его предшественники, был насыщен кавер-версиями классики рока, но в основном представлял песни Стейнмена, сделавшего в них упор на яркий запоминающийся вокал Bonnie Tyler. Первый же 7-минутный сингл из этого альбома, "Total Eclipse Of The Heart", через месяц после своего появления сумел потеснить знаменитую "Billie Jean" Майкла Джексона с вершин европейских и американских чартов. Было продано 5 млн. копий. Сам альбом также побывал на первом месте во многих странах, и Бонни стала второй женщиной после Кейт Буш, чей альбом возглавил британский хит-парад.

Следующий альбом "Secret Dreams And Forbidden Fire", появившийся только в 1986 году, продавался намного хуже своего предшественника и не был отмечен ни критиками, ни публикой. Между тем Bonnie Tyler исполнила несколько песен для кинофильмов (в том числе песню Джорджио Мородера "Here She Comes", написанную им для Донны Саммер и прозвучавшую в фильме "Metropolis", и "Holding Out For A Hero" в "Footlose").

Следующий альбом Bonnie Tyler записала в Америке с Десмондом Чайлдом. Альбом получился неплохим, но из-за слабой рекламы большого успеха не было. Тайлер исчезла из виду без малого на два года. В 1991 году она вернулась с новым альбомом "Bitterblue", выпущенным на немецком лейбле «Hansa/BMG». Песни для него написали Джорджио Мородер, Ник Кершоу, Гарольд Фальтермайер и Дитер Болен. В Великобритании этот и два последующих альбома не выходили (Дитер Болен написал для Тайлер еще два альбома, не получившие большой известности, но о которых она очень тепло отзывается).

В 1995 Bonnie Tyler вернулась на родину с серией концертов и заключила контракт с лейблами «East West Records» в Европе и с «Atlantic Records» в США. Ее новый альбом "Free Spirit", спродюсированный Стейнменом, был выдержан в привычном для Тайлер стиле, однако продажи были невелики, но Бонни не пала духом и в 1998 выпустила "All In One Voice", первым синглом с которого стала песня "Live For Love", исполненная Бонни в дуэте с Андреа Бочелли. Настоящая удача вернулась к ней лишь в 2004 году, когда она вместе с Карин Энтонн записала дуэт "Si Demain". Эта французская версия "Total eclipse of the heart", сингл с которой разошелся миллионным тиражом, заняла первые места во многих европейских чартах.

Bonnie Tyler неоднократно выступала в России, в том числе в 2005 году на фестивале "Дискотека 80-х".

Тексты песен альбома The World Starts Tonight (1977)


Got So Used To Loving You

Hey, yeah, yeah
Waking in the early morning
Thinking of you softly
From The way my heart is hurting
You might as well have shot me
Shot me

Falling out of Heaven's highway
Landing in the ocean
Drowning in a sea of heartache
I swear on my devotion
To you

I got so used to loving you baby
Got so used to having you 'round me
I got so used to loving you baby
And baby I can't let go
I got so used to loving you baby
Got so used to touching you honey
Got so used to loving you baby
And baby I can't let go

Waking in the early morning
Thinking of your magic
Why'd you have to disappear boy?
Don't you know it's tragic
Baby it's tragic

I got so used to loving you baby
Got so used to having you 'round me
Got so used to loving you baby
And baby I can't let go

Oh, I'm loving you baby
I got so used to touching you honey
I got so used to loving you baby
And baby I can't let go

Oh, I'm loving you baby
I got so used to touching you honey
Oh-oh, I'm loving you baby
And baby I can't let go

I got so used to touching you baby
I got so used to loving you honey
I got so used to loving you baby
And baby I can't let go


Love Of A Rolling Stone

You hate old Chicago ,in the winter time
When the cold wind blows right through you
And you said it ain't no fun
You called west a dream come true
Then one week it got the best of you
On a path lying in that Oklahoma sun
Swore if this day ever came
There'd be no strings, no playing games
Misty eyes and sad goodbyes to say

When love is gone why try to put
A finger on what happened
When somewhere down the road
It slipped away

All I ever wanted was a baby in my arms
A wedding ring and a simple thing called home
All you ever gave me was a look at some old highway
The sky above and the love of a rolling stone

I remember when you told me
That you'd always be a drifting man
And you didn't need another hungry mouth to feed
And I won't bring a child into a world between roses
And a thorn and the side of a tumbling tumbleweed

One day you may miss me
But I hope you don't feel guilty
Go chase the sun until your dying day
But inside me there's a second little heartbeat
That goes with me
And the one more thing that happened on the way

All I ever wanted was a baby in my arms
A wedding ring and a simple thing called home
All you ever gave me was a look at some old highway
The sky above and the love of a rolling stone


Lost In France

I was lost in France
In the fields the birds were singing
I was lost in France
And the day was just beginning
As I stood there in the morning rain
I had a feeling I can't explain
I was lost in France in love

I was lost in France
In the street a band was playing
And the crowd all danced
Didn't catch what they were saying
When I looked up he was standing there
I knew I shouldn't but I didn't care
I was lost in France in love

Oo la la la Oo la la la dance
Oo la la la dancing
Oo la la la Oo la la la dance
Oo la la la dancing
Oo la la la Oo la la la dance
Oo la la la dancing

I was lost in France
And the vines were over flowing
I was lost in France
And a million stars were glowing
And I looked round for a telephone
To say baby I won't be home
I was lost in France in love

And I looked round for a telephone
To say baby I won't be home
I was lost in France in love


Piece Of My Heart

Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man
Didn't I give you everything that a woman possibly can
Love- But with all the love I give ya
It ain't never enough
Well, I'm gonna show ya baby that a woman can be tough
So, come on, come on, come on, come on

Break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now honey
You can have it
Have another little piece of my heart now baby
You know you've got it, it it makes ya feel good

You're out on the street looking old
And ya know deep down in your heart that it ain't right
No, Ya never hear me when I cry at night
Though I tell myself that I can't stand my pain
But when Ya hold me in your arms, I'm singing again
So, come on, come on, come on, come on


More Than A Lover

Alone in the breeze
Fall on my knees
Give me a chance to recover
Deep in you eyes
Half of me lies
Let me be more than a lover
Let me be more than a lover

Oh, let it be known
You're my heart, your my home
You're the world that I wanna discover
All I can give is the way that I live
And I wanna be more than a lover
Oh, let me be more than a lover

Lovers are like
Stars in the night
Never quite touching each other
Deep in your eyes
Half of me lies
Let me be more than a lover
Let me be more than a lover


Give Me Your Love

I can't help if if the world is going crazy
And the headlines get more frightening everyday
Just as long as I'm in there with you, baby
It's ok, it's ok

Give me your love
Give me more than enough
Oh baby, I need you now
Give me your love
Give me more than enough
Oh baby, I need you now
Give me your love
Give me more than enough
Oh baby, I need you now
Give me your love
Give me more than enough
Oh baby, I need you now

I don't usually really talk about my feelings
But with you there's such a lot I want to say
And as long as your the one that I believe in
It's ok, it's ok

And as long as your the one that I believe in
It's ok, it's ok


The World Starts Tonight

Tonight I'm gonna love you
Tonight I'm gonna try
Tonight I will take my foot off that brake
Cause you made me grasp
What is over is past
And the world starts tonight
Oooh Oooh Oooh...the world starts tonight

Tonight I'm gonna love you
Tonight I know I'll find
That the world still goes on
Just a part of it's gone
Cause you made me grasp
What is over is past
And the world starts tonight
Oooh Oooh Oooh...the world starts tonight

Baby, oh baby, I made a mistake
I thought love was something, they no longer made
But since you have brought back, some love to my eyes
My doubting of people, no longer applies

Tonight I will take my foot off that brake
Cause you made me grasp
What is over is past
And the world starts tonight
Oooh Oooh Oooh...the world starts tonight
Oooh Oooh Oooh...the world starts tonight


Here's Monday

Here's Monday
And the day is just beginning
And the sun is in my eyes
And the overnight sensation of loving you so much
Has brought us to this morning of goodbyes

Here's Monday
And the truth is just beginning
To dawn up on my mind
The comfort of your body, the touching of your lips
Forevermore are leaving me behind

Goodbye my love
We came this far by being careful lovers
We came this far without once hurting others
Better leave ya now before we change our mind
(Goodbye my love)
(We came this far without once hurting others)
Better leave ya now before we change our mind

Here's Monday
And the day is just beginning
And your face is in my eyes
Just an ordinary morning somewhere in this world
A little bit of heaven slowly dies

Here's Monday
And the day is just beginning
And your face is in my eyes
Just an ordinary morning somewhere in this world
A little bit of heaven slowly dies


Love Tangle

It's a love tangle
Something we don't understand
More than a triangle
Billy, me, Bobby, and Anne
We don't understand

Billy he loves me
But I, I just don't love him
Cause I only love Bobby
But a Bobby loves Anne
Anne she loves Billy
But a his eyes are on me
But I only see Bobby
But a Bobby loves Anne

We've got ourselves a love tangle
Something we don't understand
More than a triangle
Billy, me, Bobby, and Anne
Looks like a love tangle
Something we don't understand
More than a triangle
Billy, me, Bobby, and Anne
We don't understand

Like a love story
When you find a page missing
It's a four - way heartbreaker
Cause a Bobby loves Anne


Let The Show Begin

I'm a woman
In hell beyond
Locked together
Living on a lonely start
But we can stay here
Like the mountains do
Like the leaves we tumble
But baby before we do, before we do

Let the show begin
Let the orchestra play
Let the dancers in
and we'll dance the night away
Let the show begin
Get me lost in your kiss
If we don't remember anything
We'll sure remember this
If we don't remember anything
We'll sure remember this

Who am I love
Who are you
Locked together
Wondering where we're going to
An old man told me
How his life just flew
And the years went quickly
But baby before they do, before they do

Let the show begin
Let the carnival start
Let the dancers in
Take your partners to your heart
Let the show begin
Let the orchestra play
If we don't remember anything
We won't forget today
If we don't remember anything
We won't forget today

Let the show begin
Get me lost in your kiss
If we don't remember anything
We'll sure remember this
If we don't remember anything
We'll sure remember this

Тексты песен альбома Natural Force (1978)


It's A Heartache

It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late, hits you when you're down
It's a fools' game, nothing but a fool's game
Standing in the cold rain, feeling like a clown

It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Love him 'till your arms break, then he'll let you down

It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone as much as I depended on you


Blame Me

If you're wondering why the feeling's changed between us
If I seem a little shaky when we kiss
Oh, it ain't what it seems, you did nothing to spoil my dreams
No, I'm the one who's let it all go wrong

Blame me, for I was helplessly in love
Just for a night I fell in love, I couldn't stop
Blame me, I was so lost inside his arms
Was so blind inside his arms, I couldn't see
Baby, I'm sorry

If you're wondering why I turned from you this morning
And I couldn't look directly in your eyes
Oh, it ain't what it seems, you did nothing to spoil my dreams
No, I'm the one who's let it all go wrong

Blame me, for I was helplessly in love
Just for a night I fell in love, I couldn't stop
Blame me, I was a stranger to myself
If it was only someone else instead of me
Baby, I'm sorry

Blame me, for I was helplessly in love
Just for a night I fell in love, I couldn't stop
Blame me, I was a stranger to myself
If it was only someone else instead of me
Blame me, I was so lost inside his arms
Was so blind inside his arms, I couldn't see


Living For The City

A boy is born in Hardtime Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong, movin' in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city, Yeah

His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city

His sister's black, but she is sho 'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short, but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school, she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old, but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city

Her brother's smart, he's got more sense than many
His patience's long, but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle, 'cause
Where he lives, they don't use coloured people
Living just enough, just enough for the city
Living just enough for the city


If I Sing You A Love Song

If I sing you a love song, will you always remember?
Will you hear it on lonely nights when I'm not around?
If I sing you a love song, will you hear it forever?
To remind you how much I care and how I needed you

Love songs last longer than lovers ever do
So baby let me sing a love song for you
Love songs don't leave you but lovers often do
Oh, baby I'm afraid it could happen to me and you

If I sing you a love song let it always be with you
When the others have gone away let it still be there
Love songs last longer than lovers ever do
So baby let me sing a love song for you
Love songs don't leave you like lovers often do
Oh, baby I'm afraid it could happen to me and you


Heaven

Here where we live
There's peace in this winter night
Pain has forever gone away
Oceans and winds are calm
And the stars so bright
Come and stay beside me
Come and be my friend

Heaven has opened it's arms above our heads
Heaven let sunshine upon our road
Heaven let love be the guide along the way
Let the Angels say Hello...

Far from the city lights
By an open fire
Come let's start again
Start all over again...

Heaven has opened it's arms above our heads
Heaven let sunshine upon our road
Heaven let love be the guide along the way
Let the Angels say Hello...

Heaven has opened it's arms above our heads
Heaven let sunshine upon our road
Heaven let love be the guide along the way
Let the Angels say Hello...

Heaven has opened it's arms above our heads
Heaven let sunshine upon our road
Heaven let love be the guide along the way
Let the Angels say Hello...

Let the Angels say Hello... Heaven...Heaven...


Yesterday Dreams

Lonely summer, needing rain
Standing quietly going insane
Said I loved you
You never heard a word

Memories that still cause pain
I lost a feeling I can't explain
Still I need you
Don't that seem absurd

Shattered dreams in my heart
Always gonna tear me apart
Making it so hard to start all over again

Yesterday dreams
Yesterday dreams
Here they are coming again

Forming pictures in my mind
Another place, another time
It's the same old song
With just another melody

Don't ask me 'cause I don't wanna say
He's the reason that keeps me away
I want to go through it again
But you don't even see what I mean

Shattered dreams in my heart
Always gonna tear me part
Making it so hard to start all over again

Yesterday dreams
Yesterday dreams
Here they are coming again

I don't wanna lie awake at night with you and wonder why
Looking at your hurting eyes and asking me if it's all a lie

Perfect patterns of part-time love
Always aware we're gonna make it above
What I lost before
Taking us both nowhere

What you're asking I can't give
Pick up the pieces and let you live
And don't ever look back
'Cause I won't even be there

Shattered dreams in my heart
Always gonna tear me apart
Making it so hard to start all over again

Yesterday dreams
Yesterday dreams
Here they are coming again

Yesterday dreams
Yesterday dreams
Here they are coming again

Yesterday dreams
Yesterday dreams
Here they are coming again


Hey Love (It's A Feelin')

This love you give me baby, I do believe in
'Cause while the world goes crazy, you keep me breathing
And if you had to leave me I couldn't let you
And the way my arms have held you, they can't forget you

Hey love, it's a feeling inside
Hey love, it's a feeling that I can't describe
Hey love, it's a feeling that I just can't hide
Now I know, Oh Lord, how I know, now I know what it's like

This love you give me baby, Oh keep on giving
'Cause while the world goes crazy, you keep me living
And if you had to leave me I couldn't let you
And the way my arms have held you, they can't forget you

Hey love, it's a feeling inside
Hey love, it's a feeling that I can't describe
Hey love, it's, a feeling that I just can't hide
Now I know, Lord, how I know, now I know what it's like

Hey love, it's a feeling inside
Hey love, it's a feeling that I can't describe
Hey love, it's a feeling that I just can't hide
Now I know, Lord, how I know, now I know what it's like


(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord it make me feel so tired
Before the day I met you life was so unkind
Your love was the key to my peace of mind

You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
'Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more

You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Oh baby watcha done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive

And you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

And you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

And you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman


Here Am I

Here am I in love again
Clinging to your arms again
Wondering why I wanted to be free
Here am I next to you
Wondering what we oughta do
Can't afford to lose it all again
Here am I, there are you
We nearly broke our hearts in two
Wold have been the worst thing in the world

When I thought that we could live apart
I must'a been crazy
What a fool I was, what a fool
From the moment you got in my heart
I should've known baby
But now I know

Here am I in love again
Clinging to your arms again
Wondering why I wanted to be free
When I thought that we could live apart
I must'a been crazy
What a fool I was, what a fool
From the moment you got in my heart
I should've known baby
But now I know

Her am I in love again
Clinging to your arms again
Wondering why I wanted to be free
Here am I next to you
Wondering what we oughta do
Can't afford to lose it all again

Here am I .......yeh yeah
I'm clinging to your arms again
Here am I, there are you
We nearly broke our hearts in two
It would have been the worst thing in the world


Baby Goodnight

He knows the way right to me
Closer than my heartbeat he comes
Moving on my wave-length easy
When we make love completely
Sleepy and soft he breathes
You melt me, you fill me
Baby goodnight, baby goodnight
Simple words, but they mean a lot to me
To fall asleep with your kiss warm on my lips
Baby goodnight, baby goodnight
Sleepy and soft he breathes
You melt me, you fill me
Baby goodnight, baby goodnight
Simple words, but they mean a lot to me
To fall asleep with your kiss warm on my lips
Baby goodnight, baby goodnight
He knows the way right to me
Closer than my heartbeat he comes
Moving on my wave-length easy
When we make love completely
Sleepy and soft he breathes
You melt me, you fill me
Baby goodnight, baby goodnight
Simple words, but they mean a lot to me
To fall asleep with your kiss warm on my lips
Baby goodnight, baby goodnight
Simple words, but they mean a lot to me
That's as good as a goodnight can be

If You Ever Need Me Again

Baby if you ever need me again
There's no reason why we couldn't get it better than then
I still get a feeling that we should've held on but we said goodbye
I can t get over thinking our love was too young to die
So baby if you ever need me again
You know how I feel

Baby when another morning comes through
If I find myself thinking that it might be too much to lose oh too much when
Once in everybody's lifetime they say that you'll find
Someone who you wanna cling to and you might be mine
So baby if you ever need me again
You know how I feel


Too Good To Last

You could have saved my life
You could have brought me love
You could have been so right
You fitted me like a glove

You could have been the sun
That shone on me everyday
You could have been the one
To take me away

But you were too good to last
Baby you were too good to last
The one you love was in the looking glass
And you were too good to last
Oh yeah too good to last
You're too good to last
The one you love was in the looking glass
And you were too good to last


What A Way To Treat My Heart

What a way to treat my heart
You picked it up you broke it in half
What a way to let me know
You took my love and you let it go
What a way to treat my heart
Ooh what a way, what a way to treat my heart

I don't know much about
My feelings without you with me
I can't tell you what it's like
To spend each night alone
Don't understand what went wrong
We should've gone on and on

What a way to treat my heart
Ooh what a way
What a way to treat my heart

Like a star in the sky
You were someone who I looked up to
My direction was clear
When you were here with me
I don't understand what went wrong
We should've gone on and on


The Eyes Of A Fool

You tell me there's nothing wrong
You say that there's nobody else
But you're looking into
The eyes of a fool

You say what you wanna say
And I'll sit here hoping it's true
But you're looking into the eyes of a fool

And when you say you really need
You know I'll come running
You know I'll come running to you

And though you can't look into my eyes
And say what you're thinking
I go on believing in you


Bye Bye Now My Sweet Love

There's no time now you said to be in love
Anyhow what is my life to you
Well there's no point it's true in pursuing you
And it's not that I can or I'd want to

But to be honest I'll say that there have been times
When I've desired a kiss or a smile
And once or twice you've shown the face I like
And it's affected me more than I'd want it to

But what's the use in telling you
If you don't feel the way I do
It's so very wrong to hold a love so strong
And never have the chance to share it

Bye bye now my sweet love
Bye bye now my sweet love
Bye bye those tears I cry
I need you only to say goodbye

And now and again when I don't feel so shy
I pretend to remember your name
When the eyes don't see the heart doesn't feel
And the distance between us remains

But what's the use in telling you
If you don't feel the way I do
It's so very wrong to hold a love so strong
And never got the chance to share it


Louisiana Rain

Well it was out in California
By the San Diego Sea
That was when I was taken in
And it left its mark on me
Yeah it nearly drove me crazy
'Cause I felt I had no choice
Yeah it seemed that I was only marking time
With all those sailor boys

Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
And I'm noticing a change
As I move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach Baton Rouge

South Carolina put out its arms for me
Right up until everything went black
Somewhere on a lonely street
And I still can't quite remember
Who helped me to my feet
But thank God for this long neck bottle
The angel's remedy

Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face
Washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach Baton Rouge

Well I never will get over
This English refugee
Singing to the Juke Box in some
All-Nite Beanery
Yeah he was eating hard rock candy
And chasing it with tea
You should have seem him lick his lips
When he looked up at me

Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
And I'm noticing a change
As I move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach Baton Rouge


Baby I Just Love You

Baby I just love you
Baby I just love you
When it comes right down
To what it's all about
I couldn't let you go

I don't know what's right or wrong
But in my heart's where you belong
And when the feeling's right it's right
I never felt this close before
When I'm with you I need no more
When the feeling's right it's right

Baby I just love you
Baby I just love you
It doesn't matter what I say and what I do
I still come back to you

I never felt this close before
When I'm with you I need no more
When the feeling's right it's right


Words Can Change Your Life

Words are all that we can say
They change you life or just a day
It all depends upon the say we say them
Words can sparkle like a star
In a letter from afar
It doesn't matter where you are they touch you
Words dancing in your head
Words you'd wish you'd said
When you had the chance to say them
Words whispered in the night
Makes the world seem right
When you're looking for the answers
Words when the day has gone
Sometimes linger on
And haunt you like a love song
Words, words we mean to say
Somehow slip away
Tell me why they stay behind our lips
Words can be the sweetest song
The kind that makes you sing along
When everything is going wrong around you
Words, words can change your life
Cut you like a knife
Even though he really loves you
Words when the day has gone
Sometimes linger on
And haunt you like a love song
Words, words we mean to say
Somehow slip away
Tell me why they stay behind our lips


My Guns Are Loaded

I used to sit right down and imagine
What it would be like
To have your loving arms around me
On a starry night

Oh but I got tired of dreaming
Cos dreamings nothing to do
I got tired of dreaming
About you

My guns are loaded
You're in my sights
I'm gonna love you tonight
My guns are loaded
They're pointing at your heart
All I need is your loving
And a full time place in your heart
All I need is your loving
And a full time place in your heart

I used to sit right down and imagine
What it would be like
To have you lying there beside me
All through the night


I'm A Fool

Call me what you like but I'm a fool
I'm a fool - I'm a fool
Call me what you like but I'm a fool
Forever falling in love…with you

I'm a fool let me tell you
I'm a sentimental clown
My total dedication built me up to let me down
I'm a fool let me tell you
I really didn't see
That her face was in your eyes
As you gave your love to me
I'm a fool - a fool for you

Call it what you like but it ain't love
It ain't love - it can't be love
Call it what you like but it ain't love
Cos you don't feel the way...I do

I'm a fool let me tell you
I'm a sentimental clown
My total dedication built me up to let me down
I'm a fool let me tell you
I really didn't see
That her face was in your eyes
As you gave your love to me
I'm a fool - a fool for you

I'm Just A Woman

I'm just a woman, you are the only man
I need you always, you need me now and then
I'm just a woman, you are the only man

I'm just a puppet, you make me dance and sing
You know I love it, letting you pull the string
I'm just a woman, you are the only man

And I know
If you chose
You could throw me away like some old shoes
But as long
As your there
From the bottom of my heart I don't care

I'm just a lover, you walk along the way
I try to do it, but you always start the play
I'm just a woman, you are the only man

I'm just a woman, ooh
I'm just a woman, ooh

And there are times you really show
Whats in your heart and then I know
No matter what you do, I can't let go
Baby part of your love

I'm just a woman, you are the only man
I need you always, you need me now and then
I'm just a woman, you are the only man

Ooh, I'm just a woman, ooh
I'm just a woman, ooh
I'm just a woman, you are the only man

I'm just a woman
Said I'm just a woman
I'm just a woman, you are the only man

I'm just a woman
Said I'm just a woman
I'm just a woman, just a woman
You are the only man

Just a woman
Said I'm just a woman
I'm just a woman, you are the only man

Just a woman
I said I'm just a woman, you are the only man

Yeah
I'm just a woman, you are the only man
I'm just a woman
Said I'm just a woman
I'm just a woman, you, you're the only man


We Danced On The Ceiling

We danced on the ceiling
We danced on the wall
It gave me the feeling
That I wasn't there at all
We danced on the moonlight
We danced on the stars
Too early a day late
Came after the miles

Ooh, I don't want to let it end
I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want to let the only thing we ever had expire
Won't you take me through the night
To that far and distant light
Won't you take me back to paradise again

You took me to heaven
You took me from hell
We danced on the ceiling
Together we fell

We danced on the ceiling
we danced on the wall
It gave me the feeling
That I wasn't there at all
You took me from heaven
Oh, you took me from hell
We danced on the ceiling
Together we fell

Cause we danced on the ceiling
And we danced on the wall
It gave me the feeling


Wild Love

Darlin', every night
I keep wondering
What I'm not doing right
Fire, burning bright
And you look so
Oh, so good tonight

And I've been trying to make you happy for such a long time
Working hard to keep you so much it's a crime
Give me what I want cause I"m losing my mind
For your wild love
All I want is your wild love
Give me taste of your wild love
While I'm making love to you

Somewhere, in your eyes
There's a love light
That you just can't disguise
Darlin', come on darlin'
every night
I still wonder
What I'm not doing right

Wild love
All I want is your wild love
Give me taste of your wild love
While I'm making love to you
Wild love
All I want is your wild love
Give me taste of your wild love
While I'm making love to you
Making love to you
Making love to you

Wild love
All I want is your wild love
Give me a taste of your wild love
While I'm making love to you
Wild love
Wild love
Give ma a taste of your wild love
While I'm making love to your
Wild love
All I want is your wild love
Give ma taste of your wild love
While I'm making love to your


The Closer You Get

The street lights start to come on
I know that it's time
Stop what your doing
Meet those drinking friends of mine
First guy that calls me on the telephone says
Get on down, but I'm staying at home
Now I believe in love
I believe that it's true
Then I'm defenseless when I'm looking at you
Sleepy eyes on an angel's face
Don't worry baby, no one's gonna take your place

The closer you get, the better you look
Throw me a line
Ah, the closer you get, the more that I see
We'll sure have a good time
Now I know what you're thinking
How do I feel?
Well there's no rules in my book
Said the closer you get, oh, oh, the better you look

Keep one foot in the showroom and one on the side
I've had some close ones, but I'm doing alright
There's gold on his finger, it don't mean a thing
He'll do his best to hear this sweet lady sing
I've got the time if you've got the place
We've got he know how if you've got the space
We've got the power, we've got no shame
Come over baby, sure do want to light your flame


Sometimes When We Touch

You ask me if I love you
I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do
When I'm only just beginning
To see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
Then I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance with all it's strategies
Leaves me battling with my pride
And through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitate prize fighter
Still trapped within his youth

Oh, times I want to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I want to break through
And hold you endlessly


Goodbye To The Island

Goodbye to the island
Hello to the rain
It's gone like a dream in the night
And it won't be back again
Goodbye to the island
Nobody's touch
Goodbye to a little bit of heaven
And I miss you so much

Oh, why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way
Why love did you treat me this way

A bed is an island
A world apart
Soft words in the middle of the night
Straight from the heart
Two heads on a pillow
So warm so close
Goodbye to the island
Where it, where it mattered the most

Goodbye to the island
Hello to the rain
It's gone like a dream in the night
And it won't be back again


Wild Side Of Life

Well you wouldn't read my letters
If I wrote you
You urged me not to call you on the phone
There's something I've been waiting
For to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song

You never knew there were honky tonk angels
Or you might have known
I'd never make a wife
You walked out on the only one
Who ever loved you
So I went on back to the wild side of life

Now the climate of all the good life
Oh has led me
To the places where the wine
And the liquor flow
I tried to be your one and only angel
But I'm not that kind of angel heaven knows
No no no no

I cried so hard
The day you went and left me
'Cause the things you said
They cut me like a knife
What you wanted was another kind of angel
And you sent me back to the wild side or life, no

Well I'm just some trussed up honky tonk angel
And I might have known
I'd never make a wife
Well you left the only one
Who ever loved you
And I'm back here on the wild side of life

I'm only a honky tonk angel
And I might have known I'd never make a wife
You walked out on the only one
Who ever loved you
And you left me here
On the wild side of life


Whiter Shade Of Pale

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
The crowd called out for more
The room was hummin' harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray, so

(Oh) It was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
(It) Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
As I wander through my playing cards
I could not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leavin' for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed

Turned a whiter shade of pale


Sitting On The Edge Of The Ocean

You asked me to come
And so here I am
Has everything gone
According to plan
Don't know what to say
But something still burns
As soon as we touch again
That feeling returns
A little confused
But better by far
To be lovers again
Cause that's what we are

It's like I'm sitting on the edge of the ocean
Walking a very fine line
Playing my cards on the table
Got to be honest this time
I'm just sitting on the edge of the ocean
Telling it all to the sea
Baby you know that I love you
But I want you to know that I'm me

I knew him before
Before I met you
He was my first love
So what could I do
I've opened my heart
Now you know it all
You want me to stay
You've only to call


I Believe In Your Sweet Love

If you want my love
You've only got to take it
And if you get my heart
Do anything but break it

And if you want to know the truth
I think about you all night
And whatever I am doing
You're never out of my mind

Whoa, I believe in your sweet love
Whoa, I believe in your sweet love

There's a way you've got
Something in the mixture
As the night goes on
You could become a fixture

I believe
Oh, I believe

If you want my love
You've only got to take it
And if you get my heart
Do anything but break it

I believe, I believe (back and forth)

Have You Ever Seen The Rain?

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know, and it's been coming for sometime
When it's over so they say
It'll bring a sunny day
I know, shining down like water

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day

Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hot
I know, been that way for all my time
Till forever on it goes
Fill the circle fast and slow
I know, and it can't stop my wonder

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day

Have you ever seen the rain...


Faster Than The Speed Of Night

I don't want to let another minute get by
They're slipping through our fingers, but we're ready to fly
The night'll be our cover and we'll huddle below
We got the music in our bodies and the radio

And when the morning comes it'll all be gone
Disappearing in(to) the crack of dawn
We better make our move now before the sun is awake
It's time to put up or shut up and to pick up the pace

And I don't want to let another minute get by
Love is going to get us while the moon is in the sky
We may be running out of night, but never running out of steam
We're acting on a hunch, and we'll be acting out a dream

There really isn't any time to lose
They're going to catch us if we wait until it gets too light
You're such a pretty boy
Let me show you what to do, and you'll do it
But you gotta move faster
Faster than the speed of night

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
It's all we ever wanted
And all we'll ever need
And it's slipping through our fingers
Faster than the speed of night

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
It's all we ever wanted
And all we'll ever need
And it's slipping through our fingers
Faster than the speed of night

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night

Let me show you how to drive me crazy
Let me show you how to make me feel so good
Let me show you how to take me to the edge of the stars and then back again
You've gotta show me how to drive you crazy
You've gotta show me all the things you want to happen to you
We've gotta tell each other everything we always wanted someone to do

I don't want to push you now and I don't want to rush
We're getting closer every second now, but close is not enough
The night'll be our cover and we'll huddle below
We got the music in our fingers and the radio

There really isn't any time to lose
We're going to lose it if we wait until it gets too light
You're such a pretty boy
Let me show you what to do, and you'll do it
But you gotta move faster
Faster than the speed of night

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
It's all we ever wanted
And all we'll ever need
And it's slipping through our fingers
Faster than the speed of night

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
It's all we ever wanted
And it's all we'll ever need
And it's slipping through our fingers
Faster than the speed of night

Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night
Faster than the speed of night


Getting So Excited

The room's all set and the door bell is ringing
The first to arrive switch their dials to swinging
The lights are dim to match the conversation
Strangers grin that stoned expression
He looks so cool says a girl with a giggle
His handkerchief bulge slipping from the middle
Strokes his chin as his eyes refocus
Tonight's victim smiles back

He's getting' so excited
They're revving it up
He's getting so excited
Excited

The's music's dark begins to get blacker
People start to move towards each other
Some hold back some peel off the layers
The atmosphere erupts with the drunken liberators
Walls flare up with animated shadows
As dancers jump like emancipated jackals
It won't be long till the first couple's cliche
She turns to him to say
"I'd do anything for love, but I won't do that!"

She's getting so excited
They're trashing it up
She's getting so excited
Excited

The smoke mist clears to reveal drunken Jimmy
Whose just turned up, seen his woman getting friendly
With a charmer boy in a second-hand leather
Light's go green there's gonna be danger
With two great strides there's a push and scuffle
You can't make out through the naked muscle
A high pitched scream a broken bottle
A ribbon of blood on the floor

They're getting so excited
But I want some more
They're getting so excited
Down on the floor
They're getting g so excited
Excited, excited, excited
They're getting so excited
But I'm getting bored, I'm just getting bored...


Total Eclipse Of The Heart

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround, Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always wanted to be
Turnaround, Every now then I know you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
Turnaround, Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as magical and wonderous as you
Turnaround, Every now and then I know there's nothing any better and there's nothing that I just wouldn't do
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart


It's A Jungle Out There

I hear you call it civilization
It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
Unending nights of temptation
It's a jungle out there
But you just don't care
Each night you dress up to kill them
Down at the watering hole
You stalk your prey with high fashion
With self control, you play the roll
The lonely and the lonely heart hunters
The neon love life, oh it cuts like a knife
I hear you call it civilization
It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there

The sounds and shadows surround you
You're swinging vine to vine
Below the nightmare it gathers
It's like a jungle, at feeding time
Clawing through the crowd each night
Oh you set your trap so carefully, a trophy for your wall
Someone has you in their sights
You are both the hunters and the prey, no winners at all
I hear you call it civilization
It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
Unending nights of temptation
It's a jungle out there
But you just don't care

Unending nights of temptation
It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
Civilization! Oh!
It's a jungle out there
You call it civilization
It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there


Going Through The Motions

In and out and out and in
And up and down and all around
We're going through it
Nothing to it
All you've got to do is do it
Going through the motions - 1,2,3,4
I go you go you go me go
Everywhere that we go we'll be
Going through the motions - 1,2,3,4
1,2

Going through the motions
Going through the motions

I don't really care
Cause you're going nowhere
You've got nothing but fear in your eyes
You're leading me on
But you can be anyone
Cause I know you'll be gone when I rise

And we're going through the motions
Going through the motions
Going through the motions
Going through the motions

Staying with you
Gave us something to do
I always thought it was true for a while
Your loving your lies
You're so thinly disguised
You couldn't tell right from wrong if you tried

And we're going through the motions
Going through the motions
Going through the motions
Going through the motions

To thee I'll dedicate this photograph
I'll even sign it love to you, again
And when it's faded and forgotten in some book
You'll sometimes look
You'll sometimes look
You'll sometimes look

It's a game it's a game
No let's call it a shame
Cause there's no one to blame
It's a pain
You were a friend for a day
So don't cry if I say
That you got what you want, it's Okay

Going through the motions
Going through the motions


Tears

Such a long time ago
Now I know
You've woke up to find
You were wrong
There ain't no doubt
Put me out
Nearly made me blind

You sent me a letter, brought tears to my eyes
Tell me you've changed, after all this time
Like a stone rolling sown the mountainside
It's over, you can't turn the tide, and it's...

Tears falling about love, falling without love
Tears falling about love, falling without love

I was glad
To be with you
Near to you
My heart can't deny
I was sad
To leave your side
Stripped of pride
When you said goodbye
For every new road there must be a friend
For every broken heart there must be a mend
And the rain only lasted so long
It's over, the thing we had is gone, and it's...

To tell me you've changed brought tears to my eyes
Say you've rearranged after all this time
Like a stone rolling down the mountainside
It's over, you can't turn the tide, and it's...


Take Me Back

You said it's over now
It's just not right
You said there's a better place for you to be
It's not with me
Then you turned and walked away
I can't believe what I see
And I can't go to sleep at night when I think of how it used to be

She can't give you what I've got
And she can't stop your pain
And she can't love you the way I do
God I want you back again
Maybe she could try with money
Or she could buy you clothes
But baby when it's dark and you're home at night
Does she ever hold you close

She takes you out in style
She treats you right
She gives you all the things I never could, she's so good
But don't you think of me
Baby late at night
And I just can't take it boy, together we could be so right

She can't give you what I've got
And she can't stop your pain
And she can't love you the way I do
God I want you back again
Maybe she could try with money
Or she could buy you clothes
But baby when it's dark and you're home at night
Does she ever hold you close

Take me back
(Ooh you're gonna need me)
(Ooh you're gonna need me)
Take me back
(Ooh you're gonna need me)
All those things we did before
Whatever happened to them
And all those things I've been living for
Gotta start'em all over again

You said it couldn't last
That we were meant to part
A guy like you and a girl like me didn't stand a chance - not from the start
But then you looked at me
I had to ask you why
As I see and try to find out why you left me for those hungry eyes

She can't give you what I've got
And she can't stop your pain
And she can't love you the way I do
God I want you back again
Maybe she could try with money
Or she could buy you clothes
But baby when it's dark and you're home at night
Does she ever hold you close

Take me back
(Ooh you're gonna take me)
Take me back
(Ooh you're gonna take me)
Take me back
(Ooh you're gonna take me)
Take me back...


Straight From The Heart

I could start dreaming but it never ends
As long as you're gone we may as well pretend
I've been dreaming
And that's straight from the heart
You said it's easy but who's to stay
That we'd be able to keep it this way
But it's easier
Coming straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

I'll see you on the street some other time
But all our words will just fall out of line
While we're dreaming
Straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

Ravishing

When the sun is burning out
And the night is pouring in
Now is the time to run, run boy
Now is the time to hide

There's nobody out on the beach
There's nobody down in the woods
We're gonna do it alone
We're gonna do it outside-

And I can feel the air it's sticking to out skin so tight
And I can feel there's something in this air tonight
I really go it bad
Tonight I really got it bad
Tonight I really got it bad
But it's still so good, so good
That I got it at all and it was

Ravishing, ravishing
And I love to see the moonlight
See it shimmer down my dress
It's so ravishing, ravishing
And the wind is like a finger
Tracing patterns on your chest
You're so ravishing

And I know
This is the season that we make our move
This is the season we've got something to prove
And this is the season I've got something to lose
Oh, it's now or it's never
So now and forever, we're

Ravishing, ravishing
Oh-wo-wo
Ravishing, ravishing
Oh-wo-wo
Ravishing, ravishing
Oh-wo-wo

It's all right
We'll be ravishing each other till the end of this endless night
It's all right, so right, it's all right , so right

And if an angel broke his wings
Would he come to you for parts
I need a couple of wings boy, boy
I need a reason to soar

And if the devil lost his fire
Could he count on you for sparks?
There's something we ought to try now
We ought to try it some more-

Than anything I ever wanted was to see the light
and there's a chance that we'll be glowing in the dark tonight-

I really got it bad
Tonight I really got it bad
Tonight I really got it bad
But it still felt good- so good-
Just to get it at all, and it's so

Ravishing, ravishing
And I can't believe the way the stars are shooting through your hair
You're so ravishing, ravishing
And it's just my luck tonight I don't have anything to wear
We're so ravishing

This is the season that we make our move
This is the season we've got something to prove
This is the season I've got something to lose
And all we ever really needed was

Ravishing, ravishing
Oh-wo-woo
Ravishing, ravishing
Oh-wo-wo
Ravishing ravishing
Oh-wo-wo

It's all right
We'll be ravishing each other till the end of this endless night
It's all right, so right, it's all right, so right


If You Were A Woman (And I Was A Man)

How's it feel to be a woman
How's it feel to be a man
Are we really that different
Tell me where you stand
I look at you, you look away
Why do you say we're night and day
I'd like to try another way
Oh baby for just one day

If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard to understand
That a heart's a heart and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man

How's it feel to be the hunter
How's it feel to be the prey
Is there really a reason
For this game we play
I look at you, you look away
Why do you say we're night and day
I'd like to try another day
Oh darling, just one day

If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard to understand
That a heart's a heart and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man

Hey, we're just two people trying to love
Oh but how, how can we love
With this wall between us, holding us back

If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard to understand
That a hearts a heart and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man


Loving You Is A Dirty Job But Somebody's Gotta Do It

[Girl:]
When the sky is falling and you're looking round for somewhere to hide
Did you ever call out to someone
Did you ever call out to me, I've never been gone-
I've been right here by your side
There ain't nothin' but clouds
There ain't nothin' but clouds in your eyes

Why don't you believe it when you finally found the truth
You've been drinking poison water from the fountain of youth
Why don't you stop tearing up everyone you need the most
You're so busy trying to get even
You never even try to get close

I can't explain it away
It doesn't make any sense
To know what it's like
I guess you gotta go through it
It doesn't matter baby
Loving you's a dirty job
But somebody's gotta do it

[Boy:]
There were times when we'd never fake it
There were times when we'd always make it
There were times when we'd take it to the limit
And we'd never, never, ever leave each other alone
We were flesh and blood and bone
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all

[Both:]
There were times when we took our chances
There were times we were damn good dancers
There were times when we heard all the answers
In the beating of the drummer and the riches of the rock and the roll
I can see right through your soul
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all

[Boy:]
If your fears could only be forgotten
We could pull all of the barriers down
Would you follow your dreams' desire
Would you follow your secret dreams and forbidden fire
Let's just peel out of this town

[Both:]
It's been nothing but dreams
It's been nothing but dreams until now

[Boy:]
You're never gonna see it

[Both:]
You got your head stuck in the sand

[Boy:]
It's the land of the free and easy Street

[Girl:]
It's the home of the damned

[Boy:]
You're never gonna see it

[Both:]
You better open up your eyes

[Girl:]
You're the only one who's left-

[Both:]
Who's gonna believe all your lies

[Boy:]
I can't explain it away
It doesn't make any sense

[Both:]
To know what it's like
I guess you gotta go through it
It doesn't matter baby

[Girl:]
Loving you's a dirty job
But somebody's gotta do it

[Boy:]
There were times when our bodies glistened
There were times that we can't stop missing
There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen

[Both:]
To the pounding, pounding of our desperate hearts
Nothing could have torn us apart
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all

[Girl:]
There were times when we fought like tigers
There were times we were damn good liars

[Boy:]
There were times we extinguished every fire

[Both:]
That was burning, burning, burning up each other alive
From the heavens on down to the dives
There were times we lost it all we lost it all
There were times we lost it all we lost it all

There were times when we fought like tigers
There were times we were damn good liars

There were times when our bodies glistened
There were times that we can't stop missing
There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen
To the pounding, pounding of our desperate hearts
Nothing could have torn us apart
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all


No Way To Treat A Lady

You can please me
You can sweet talk and lead me on
But believe me
Won't be long till I'm catching on
Now you left me here with nothing
And you put my love on hold
Well there must be something behind those eyes
Because I believe every lie you told

That ain't now way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a woman in love
That ain't no way to treat a lady
I could of sworn that you had a love

So you leave me
Well I'm lonely and in despair
It intrigues me
How you don't really seem to care
Well I ain't here for nothing
And my love doesn't come that cheap
I will hold you to all your promises
If I could find one you meant to keep

That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a woman in love
That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way, no way to treat a woman in love

You can tease me
You can sweet talk and lead me on
But believe me
Won't be long till I'm catching on
For I ain't here for nothing
And my love doesn't come that cheap
And I will hold you to all your promises
If I could find one you meant to keep


Band Of Gold

Now that you've gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Is a band of gold
And the memory
Of what love could be
If you wee
Still here with me
You took me from the shelter of my lover I had never known
Or loved any other
We killed after taking vows
But that night on our honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms

I waited in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'd walk back through that door
And love me
Like you tried before

Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Is a band of gold
And the dream of what love could be
If you were still here with me

Don't you know that I'd wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon
That you'd walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before

Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left
Is a band of gold
And the dream of
What love could be
If you were still here with me


Rebel Without A Clue

You're a tough tail-gunner in a pitch black Chevy
Cruising in the moonlight
Ooh your aim is steady
Your eyes are hungry and your hands are ready
You shot me where you wanted
You put me in a daze

No matter where you go, you'll always be a stranger
Getting into trouble, getting off on danger
Riding out of town like a cool lone ranger
When there's nothing to lose, you gotta call your own plays
Did anybody say something incredibly stupid
Like there isn't any paradise
But I remember the songs and I remember the story
I remember the thrills and I remember the glory

So hold me - hold me in your arms
Deliver me from growing old
Hold me - hold me in your arms
Shelter me from going cold
I'm a shot in the dark without you
A rebel without a clue

Rebel without a clue
I don't know what to say and I don't know what to do
Standing on the corner in my boots and my leather
a little over the edge, a little under the weather
Just a rebel without a clue
I'm tired an lonely and crying for you
I know just when to sulk and I know just how to pose
Dirty Harry to Madonna
I've been learning all the roles

So hold me baby, hold me a little longer
Need me baby just a little stronger tonight
Move it darling move a little quicker
Prove it darling blood is really thicker tonight
Drive on darling drive a little farther
Dream on darling dream a little harder tonight
Teach me baby teach me how to love you
Without me you're just another rebel without a clue

It's been a long hot summer an it's just the beginning
So keep our motor running and your tires spinning
So many places that I've wanted to be in
Take me where you're going - away beyond above -
We'll see a little action, relieve a little tension
Stuff I'd like to try that I shouldn't even mention
I've gone so far already c- I'm way beyond redemption
There's nothing to it really - I think they call it love

Did anybody say something incredibly stupid
Like there isn't any paradise
But I remember the songs and I remember the story
I remember the thrills and I remember the glory

So hold me - hold me in your arms
Deliver me from growing old
Hold me - hold me in your arms
Shelter me from going cold
I'm a shot in the dark without you
A rebel without a clue

Rebel without a clue
I don't know what to say and I don't know what to do
Standing on the corner in my boots and my leather
A little over the edge, a little under the weather
Just a rebel without a clue
I'm tired and lonely and crying for you
I know just when to sulk and I know just how to pose
Dirty Harry to Madonna
I've been learning all the roles

So hold me baby, hold me a little longer
Need me baby just a little stronger tonight
Move it darling move a little quicker
prove it darling blood is really thicker tonight
Drive on darling drive a little farther
Dream on darling dream a little harder tonight
Teach me baby teach me how to love you
Without me you're just another rebel without a clue

I'm on a freeway to nowhere
Running on empty time
I gotta ticket to somewhere, anywhere
A long way down the line
I wanna go on the red light
I wanna go on the green
I wanna go on all the colors I see in between
There ain't no holding us down


Lovers Again

I got pictures of you in funny poses
Letters from you with fresh yellow roses
I've got souvenirs of fun times together
And I'll cherish those years but I'll bet I'll forever

I know we'll be lovers again, darling
I know we'll be lovers again
It's a matter of time
Till you see that I'm
The one in the end, I was you friend
Lovers again

I got pictures of you with stolen kissed
We looked so young and so full of promise
And we had those dreams
But they're not forgotten
Cause I'll build that house with the yellow rose garden

I know we'll be lovers again, darling
I know we'll be lovers again
It's a matter of time
Till you see that I'm
The one in the end, I was you friend
Lovers again

There's a picture of you in yesterday's paper
With that smile I knew and the new name you've taken
And I'll live each day without being bitter
Cause we worked that way
And I know It's not over

I know we'll be lovers again, darling
I know we'll be lovers again
It's a matter of time
Till you see that I'm
The one waiting there and in the end
We'll be lovers again


Before This Night Is Through

I been crazy for you, so long
How could something so right turn out so wrong
Words, never mean what they say
Words just get in the way

Before this night is through
Gonna make you see
How I been blind to you
You been blind to me
Before this night is through we're gonna get to the truth

Before this night is through
Gonna heal the pain
Before this night is through
You'll be back again
No matter what we do I know we'll be all right
Before this night is through

Hearts broken in pieces no time to mend
Without loving they fall apart in the end
Fools, never admit they're wrong
They live their lives alone

Before this night is through
Girl we're gonna see how I belong to you
You belong to me
Before this night is through we're gonna get to the truth

Before this night is through
We'll get past the pain
Before this night is through
You'll be back again
No matter what we do I know it'll be all right
Before this night is through

Come inside close the door come tome now
We'll find our way we know how
Let the past be the past let it all fall away
Baby I know we told lies and to lie is a sin
We'll get to the truth we will simply begin

Before this night is through we're gonna get to the truth

Before this night is through
We'll get past the pain
Before this night is through
You'll come back again
No matter what we do I know we'll be all right
Before this night, before this night is through


Under Suspicion

I put my trust in you 'cos I'm not the suspicious kind
But it seems to me that there's someone on your mind
And maybe I'm wrong and maybe there's some mistake
But I won't take any chances, I'm watching every move you make
I never felt so scared and helpless before
I wish I could believe in you but I just gotta be sure

You're under suspicion all of the time
You're under suspicion all of the time

When we talk I can see you cant look me straight in the eye
What's all the secrecy, you got me wondering why
Is it someone you met that could make you regret your decision
How could you forget all our plans and all our ambitions
Don't try to pull the wool right over my eyes
You think you're pretty smart but I can see right through your disguise

You're under suspicion all of the time
You're under suspicion all of the time

You're under suspicion all of the time
You're under suspicion all of the time
You're under suspicion all of the time
You're under suspicion

You're under suspicion all of the time
You're under suspicion all of the time


Holding Out For A Hero

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night toss and turn and dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Notes From America

Somewhere in America
The tour bus roars through the dead of night
The sleeping towns fade out of sight
You know what I mean
Here it comes and goes so fast
Lookin' out this window
I just see black
Sometimes I wish that I was back
And this was all a dream

I been up and down
I been lost and found
In America, in America
I been turned around
Till I don't know where I'm bound
In America, in America
And I miss you now
Just a note from America...

Livin' on the road again
I'm the only woman
In this rock and roll band
Fifty states of one night stands
You know what I mean
Railroad crossing, midnight train
Just the lonely sound
Of the clickety-clack
Still I know I can't turn back
American dream....

I been up and down
I been lost and found
In America, in America
I been turned around
Till I don't know where I'm bound
In America, in America
And I miss you now
Just a note from America...

Sometimes when it gets to me
I dream that you are next to me
I can feel you near (whisperin' my name)
I can feel your touch (take away my pain)
I can hear you say
"I just want to love you again"
Baby, baby....


Hide Your Heart

Johnny saw her ridin' on a streetcar named "desire"
His fate was sealed
She could see him comin' like a hundred other liars
It was no big deal
Rosa had a lover on the shady side of town
Tito, he was king op the streets
She was his possession like a jewel on his crown
Johnny better run, better run....

Better hide your heart
Better hold on tight
Better say your prayers
Cause there's trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart
Cause you're playin' with fire
Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, hey, do, do, do, do...

The ride was over but the story doesn't end
He took her heart
She looked him in the eye
And said they couldn't meet again
You could see the trouble start
The word went out that Rosa's messin' with someone
It was on the street
Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun
Johnny better run, better run...

Johnny's holdin' Rosa on a rooftop in the night
As time stood still
They couldn't hear him comin'
Till he had them both in sight
You could feel the chill
A shot rang out like thunder
And the blood was on her hands
With nothing won
When someone lies there dyin'
Lovers finally understand...


Don't Turn Around

If you wanna leave
I won't beg you to stay
And if you gotta go darling
Maybe it's better that way
I'm gonna be strong
I'm gonna do fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
Just walk out that door
Yeah see if I care
Go on and go now but
Don't turn around
Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart that you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know
I won't miss your arms around me
Holding me tight
If you ever think about me
Just know that I'll be alright
I'm gonna be strong
I'm gonna do fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
I know I'll survive
Sure I'll make it through
And I'll even learn to live without you
Don't turn around
Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart that you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know

I wish I could scream out loud
That I love you
Wish I could say to you
Don't go don't go don't go but

Don't turn around
Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart that you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know


Save Up All Your Tears

I can't figure you out
But a heart must be the one thing
You were born without
I'm through wasting my time
I don't know where I'll sleep tonight
You say that you can do without me
Go ahead now, try and live without me...

Baby, save up all your tears
You might need them someday
When the tears start to fall
I won't wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby, save up your tears
Cause you'll be cryin' over me

You got used to my touch
I got used to not feeling much
Winter set in your eyes
Time will melt your castle of ice
You think that you won't feel the pain now
Your eyes'll be cryin' like the rain now...
Baby, save up all your tears
You might need them someday
When the tears start to fall
I won't wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby, save up your tears
Cause you'll be cryin' over me
You don't know it now
But some wounds get deeper with time
You don't feel it now
Till the need burns, a knife turns
Your heart bleeds like mine...


To Love Somebody

I could start dreaming but it never ends
As long as you're gone we may as well pretend
I've been dreaming
And that's straight from the heart
You said it's easy but who's to say
That we'd be able to keep it this way
But it's easier
Coming straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

I'll see you on the street some other time
But all our words will just fall out of line
While we're dreaming
Straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we could make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart

You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart


Take Another Look At Your Heart

There must be somethin' that we can share
Why is it all or nothin' everywhere
You got your life and I got mine
Why's our relationship hangin' on the line
I just want to know you
I just want to love you
More than words can say

Baby, take another look at your heart
And tell me you don't want me
Baby, tell me you're not comin' apart
I can hold out 'til you break
Baby, take another look at your heart

You're breakin' up, that's no surprise
So much invested in our so-called "love lives"
Give it up, heart over mind
You can't explain away
The tears you been cryin'
I don't want to own you
I just want to know you
I just want to love you
More than words can say


The Best

I call you when I need you
And my heart's on fire
You'll come to me, come to me
Wild and wired
You come to me, give me everything I need

You bring a lifetime of promises
And a world of dreams
You speak the language of love
Like you know what it means
And it can't be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong

Cause you're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you said
Tear us apart
Baby I would rather be dead

Deep in your heart
I see the start
Of every night and every day
And in your eyes I get lost
I get washed away
Just as long as I'm here in your arms
I could be in no better place


Shy With You

More than often when I'm with you
I become a nervous kid
I imagine your old girlfriends
I imagine what you did
I don't know if this is normal
I don't know if this is love
With you I get so formal
And I feel all this other stuff

Shy with you
Though I've been around the block
Shy with you
Cause you're the one I really want

Other guys I don't care about
So easy with them
Anything you can do without
So easy to win
I can't do without your love
So I try to play it cool
Everytime you call my bluff
I just stand there like a fool

Shy with you
Though I've been around the block
Shy with you
Cause you're the one I really want
Shy with you
Sometimes a heart can hurt a lot
Shy with you
Cause you're the one I really want

I need your love
I need your love to see me through
I want you
I want you and so it's true
Shy with you...shy with you...shy with you...


Streets Of Little Italy

The narrow and the winding ways
The streets of old New York
The families, the street life, the spark
The rooftop where we watched
San Gennaro's festival
Masquerades in the dark...
On the streets down in little Italy
Where the past goes on and on forever
And I feel it ever present
In every step I take alone
On the streets down in little Italy

The oceans and the years
That separate our lives
From these streets we once called our home
Those distances of space and time
How strong they are
And how weak they are...
On the streets down in little Italy
Where the past goes on and on forever
And I feel it ever present
In every step I take alone
On the streets down in little Italy

Does the morning sunlight
Still hit the bed where we used to lie
Do the sidewalk stands and markets still overflow
Where I lingered till I was empty
Where I stayed till I had to go
Though in the night
Sometimes I see you disappear
Down cobblestones...

On the streets down in little Italy
Where the past goes on and on forever
And I feel it ever present
In every step I take alone
Like your presence in my bones
On the streets down in little Italy


Turtle Blues

I'm a mean, mean woman
I don't mean no one man no good
I'm a mean, mean woman
I don't mean no one man no good
I just treats 'em like I wants to
Never ever treats 'em honey, like I should

Oh lord I once had a daddy
He said he'd give me everything in sight
Once had a daddy
Said he'd give me everything in sight
I said Hon, I want the sunshine
And take the stars out of the night

I ain't the kind of woman
Who'd make your life a bed of ease
I'm not the kind of woman
To make your life a bed of ease
Yeah, but if you just wanna go out drinkin', honey
Invite me along please

I guess I'm just like a turtle
Hidin' underneath his horny shell
Just like a turtle
Hidin' underneath his horny shell
But you know I'm very well protected
I know this doggone life too well

Oh, they call me mean, people call me evil
I'm not the kind of woman you can mess around
They call me mean, people call me evil
I'm not the kind of woman you can mess around
But I'm gonna take good care of Bonnie, yeah
There ain't no one gonna talk me down...

Тексты песен альбома Bitterblue (1991)


Bitterblue

I'll take the train to nowhere
This love is a sacrifice
My heart ain't big enough babe
For your paradise
Oh darling I'm crazy - after all these years

Don't throw away my love babe
I'm not a lonely child
Tomorrow's such a long time
My dreams are running wild
Oh darling I'm crazy - after all these years

I gave you all my love for free
My tears are full of memories
Give me love, give me all
Baby, catch me when I'll fall tonight

Bitterblue, bitterblue
Breaking up is hard to do
Bitterblue you know that I'm too
Proud to cry
Bitterblue, bitterblue
I can't take my eyes off you
Thats no way to say goodbye

I'll be sailing on a rainbow
If you will change your mind
Don't throw away this love babe,
Love is hard to find
Oh darling I'm crazy - after all these years

Come save a little room babe,
In your heart for me
We can make it better,
Love is a mystery
Oh darling I'm crazy - after all these years

Oh I sold my heart to you
I gave you love an heaven, too
Give me love, give me all
Baby catch me when I'll fall tonight

Bitterblue, bitterblue
Breaking up is hard to do
Bitterblue you know that I'm too
Proud to cry
Bitterblue, bitterblue
I can't take my eyes off you
And that's no way to say goodbye

Bitterblue, bitterblue
Breaking up is hard to do
Bitterblue you know that I'm too
Proud to cry
Bitterblue, bitterblue
I can't take my eyes off you
And that's no way to say goodbye

And that's no way to say goodbye
And that's no way to say goodbye
And that's no way to say goodbye


Against The Wind

Living in a danger zone
A lonely man a lonely child
So many miles from home
Emotions running wild with me

Come take my heart, come feel the
Burns of fire
Come and break my heart and feel my
Loving mind

Oh, against the Wind I'm flying
Against the wind I'm crying
This night was made for a lonely
Don't break my heart tonight, no

Oh, against the wind I'm flying
Against the wind I'm crying
This night was made for a lonely
Don't break my heart tonight, no

Oh you need a helping hand
The times are getting tough
Baby come and try again
There's no living without love, in my heart
It's hard for me, but it's harder to ignore it
Oh my fantasy, come feel my love tonight

Oh against the wind I'm flying
Against the wind I'm crying
This night was made for a lonely
Don't break my heart tonight, no

Oh against the wind I'm flying
Against the wind I'm crying
This night was made for a lonely
Don't break my heart tonight
Don't break my heart tonight, oh no


Careless Heart

I had somebody, somebody who loved me
Someone so good to me
You were my angel, you were my heaven
But I was too blind to see
I let you slip away, I guess I never knew
I had the world with you
I'd be there, still be there in your arms

If not for my Careless Heart
You'd still be loving me
If not for my Careless Heart
You'd still be mine
I wouldn't have this hurt inside
l wouldn't have these tears to cry
If not for my Careless Heart
If not for my Careless Heart

I had my chances
I took advantage
I took it all too far
So now you're gone and I'm all alone
Alone with my lonely heart
I let it fall apart, I didn't care enough
I lost your precious love
You'd be here, still be here in my arms

I'd be loving you, I'd be holding you
I'd be loving you, if not for my
Careless Heart

I wouldn't have this hurt inside
I wouldn't have these tears to cry


Whenever You Need Me

Can't wait until I'm in your arms
Your kiss sets me on fire
I've never felt so alive
Come on and take me higher
I don't know what it is that makes
Me feel the way I do

But - you're the one that's always
Been on my mind
And I'll be there when you want me to

Whenever you need me, I'll come u=running
Whenever you want me, only I will be there
Whenever you need me , for the good times and bad
Anytime, anywhere, I don't care
I will be there

I'm the one you're with tonight
This love will never die
Just one touch drives me insane
It makes me want to cry
I'm feeling hot inside and I can't
Control the way I feel

But - I keep you up whenever you are feeling down
And I hope you'll always want me around

Whenever you need me, to be your lover
Whenever you want me, just one call I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be the best you've ever had
Anytime, anywhere, I s]don't care
I will be there

Whatever you want me to
Whenever you

Whenever you need me, I'll come running
Whenever you want me, only I will be there
Whenever you need me, for the good times and bad
Anytime, anywhere, I don't care
I will be there

Whenever you need me, I'll come running
Whenever you want me, just one call I'll be there
Whenever you need me, for the good times and bad
Anytime, anywhere, I don't care
I will be there


Where Were You?

Oh baby - I was always around
To pick you up when you were falling down
Now baby - when you were crying the blues
Wasn't I the one that you came crying to ?
In all the years gone by
You've never seen me cry
I never let you see the other side of me

Where were you
When I needed somebody to lean on?
Yeah where were you
When I needed a shoulder to cry on?
I always held you close when you were feeling weak
Guess I was walking down a one-way street
I was a fool to think that you'd be
There for me
Where were you?

Oh baby - when you needed a friend
I stuck beside you then through thick and thin
Now baby - when no one cared at all
Wasn't I the one that you would always call
I gave away my heart, I knew just where I stood
Till I reached out for you 'cause I thought I could

Now even more than what I'm going through
The cut that hurts the most is your attitiude
You're pretty good at taking what you need
You've got a lot to learn about loyalty
Believe me baby...There were times
You drove me crazy... I was so blind
Where were you?

I never let you down when you wee full of fear
Saved you from drowning in a sea of tears
Why baby when then weren't you ever there for me?..


Save Me

Save me darling won't you save me
Oh this heart is in distress
I need some tenderness so take me
Take me in your arms and save me
Only you can save me
Save me

I can't stand another lonely night
I need your arms to hold me tight
Darling please oh won't you hurry
Back home
Oh don't you let me face this night alone

'Cause I'm drowning in loneliness
Can't you hear my heart sending out an SOS

Save me darling won't you save me
Oh this heart is in distress
I need some tenderness so take me
Take me in your arms and save me
Only you can save me
Come on bring your love around
Rescue me right now save me

I'm going out of my mind
You don't know the way I'm feeling inside
Come on babe throw me a line
Cause I'm drowning in loneliness
Can't you hear my heart sending out an SOS

Save me from this emptiness
Save me from this lonliness
Save me can't you hear my heart calling
Calling out to you to save me


He's Got A Hold On Me

No matter how hard I try
No matter how many days go by
I really can't make this feeling go away
Whenever I change I mind
Whenever I turn my head around
The only one I can see every single day

He's got a hold on me
Nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
He's got a hold on me
And pretty soon he may
Have a hold on you

Whenever he's somewhere else
I try to remember if I can
When if only I could forget I think I'd be just fine
I wonder where he cam from
I wonder what name he answers to
Whatever he calls himself I'd like to call him mine

He's got a hold on me
Nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
He's got a hold on me
And pretty soon he may
Have a hold on you

It could be my low resistance
And you can all be as smug as hell
But you all better keep your distance
Unless you wanna get burnt as well

Whenever he walks on by
And looks at me then I know
That he is never letting go

He's got a hold on me
Nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
He's got a hold on me
And pretty soon he may
Have a hold on you


Keep Your Love Alive

When it's getting good
Then you better be safe
Cause a mind like yours is too good to waste
Keep your love alive - keep your love alive

A body like yours
It would be a crime
If you push it to the edge of the borderline
Keep your love alive - keep your love alive

Gotta be careful when you're takin a chance
You gotta take care - it's a new romance
Keep your love alive - love alive

It really never was about a one night stand
It's a love for life so you better think twice
Keep your love alive - love alive

Love for life
Love for life
Love for life
You'll be alive tomorrow if you're safe today
what better way to show you care for me

Can't ignore the facts when they're in your face
It's time you took some responsibility
Keep your love alive - keep your love alive

Cause you know the love we have is always gonna be
You know I want you and you want me
Keep your love alive - love alive

Love for life
Love for life
Love for life
You'll be alive tomorrow if you're safe today
What better way to show you care for me

When the love is right
You gotta say I want you here inside my life
Living for the light that's coming from within
I want to take good care of you - I love you


Tell Me The Truth

I told you once I told you twice
This love is not a sacrifice
Oh take my heart and don't be a dreamer
Oh tears may go and years may come
See my heart look what you've done
Oh take my heart and don't be a dreamer
Oh don't be a dreamer who's killing my heart

Tell me the truth
Time's on my side
Oh baby give it one more try
Tell me the truth no compromise
Only a strong love will survive
I never tear apart
It's written in my heart
I'll never ever hurt you

I wasted days, I wasted nights
A restless love, an endless fight
Oh take my heart and don't be a dreamer
My world begins and ends with you
A breathless love painted in blue
Oh take my heart and don't be a dreamer
Oh don't be a dreamer who's killing my heart

Tell me the truth
Time's on my side
Oh baby give it one more try
Tell me the truth no compromise
Only a strong love will survive
I never tear apart
It's written in my heart
I'll never ever hurt you

Oh baby

Tell me the truth
Time's on my side
Oh baby I stay by your side
Tell me the truth no compromise
Only a strong love will survive
Tell me the truth'
Time's on my side
Oh baby I stay by your side
Tell me the truth


Heaven Is Here

I know there is an answer
To the question we ask in the night
I know you are a dancer
Here and gone like the wind out of sight
Carry me to our heart's fantasy
Heaven is here in your arms

Tell me we'll live together
In a place where cool breezes blow
I know nothing's forever
Yet there is still so much we should know
Carry me to our heart's fantasy
Heaven is here in your arms

I see the hope in your eyes
I feel the heat rising high
Tell me the night is all mine
We'll be the love in the light
The love that's alive
Carry me to our heart's fantasy
Heaven is here in your arms

Free me from this time lonely
Cause this life is too short to pass by
Be the one and the only
8Reaching for the love in the light
Carry me to our heart's fantasy
Heaven is here in your arms
Heaven is here - Here in your arms


Love Is In Love Again

Ooh run away lucky while you still know the way
If you're lookin for your chance for one good payday
Do you really think you've go a ghost of a chance?
Its the coldest of towns to be lookin for romance

Ooh run away baby - you're too young to see
The way it's goin' down on the city streets
When trouble comes around there is no mystery
You're runnin' from it all so you better run now

Love is in pieces - put it back together now
It's supposed to be easy - but it's so so mad
All the things we say
When the world's gone crazy - it's so hard to handle
Sooner or later it'll all come clearer
When love is in love again

Ooh pictures in the paper of the faces you've seen
Walking down the halls where justice is done
What they say they say - is not what they mean?
A different set of rules than are meant for you and me

Love is in pieces - put it back together now
It's supposed to be easy but it's so so mad
All the things we say
When the world's gone crazy - love's so hard to handle
Sooner or later it'll all come clearer
When love is in love again

Everybody's looking for an easier way
So go go go go
Everybody running from a shadow today
But they run so slow


Till The End Of Time

I remember times like this
Memories you can't dismiss of paradise
Looking for a way to start our love again
Every night and every day
We can find a better way to live all our lives
We can be as one again
Finally find a way to say that we know the truth

'Til the end of time we love
Reaching for the higher ground
'Til the end of time we live
Giving all we have to give

Children of another time
We lay it all upon the line
To say I love you
Every night and every day
We can find a better way to say
I love you

'Til the end of time we love
Reaching for the higher ground
'Til the end of time we live
Giving all we got to give
Giving all we got to give
Giving all we got to give

'Til the end of time we love
Every night and every day
Reaching for the higher ground
Reaching for the higher ground

'Til the end of time we live
Giving all we got to give


Too Hot

Hearts beating like a drum
Like foxes on the run
Nothing baby, nothing is forever
It's too late to stop me now
You couldn't anyhow
Baby can't you see us together

Oh oh tell me baby
Oh oh tell me now - tell me now
Tell me now - baby now
Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I'll sail with you the seven seas
Cause I know babe what you feel
Are you too hat
Can't you see it's forever
I say it' like a symphony
Baby you know the way I feel
Oh be my eternity
Baby come on back home - baby tonight

Reaching out to take your hand
Together we will stand
Not just in my arms and in my heart
You know I love you so much
I live my life for your touch
Was it just a favourite from the start

Oh oh tell me baby
Oh oh tell me now - tell me now
Tell me now - baby now
Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I'll sail with you the seven seas
Cause I know babe what you feel
are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I say it's like a symphony
Baby you know the way I feel
Oh be my eternity
Baby come on back to me - baby tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I'll sail with you the seven seas
Cause I know babe what you feel
Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I say it's like a symphony
Baby know the way I feel

Why are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I say it's like a symphony
Baby know the way I feel

Why are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever


Why

It's a breathless night - and I feel the pain
This love is a sacrifice
We can't build a fire baby in the rain
Oh the night has a thousand eyes
How deep is your love babe
No one cares about you
I will love you tomorrow
See what my love can do

Baby why - why should I hurt you?
How many tears can I hide?
Nobody loves you like I do
Time is on my side, baby

You'll close your eyes - I'll stay by your side
I don't care if the sun don't shine
When your heart feels like, oh a motherless child
You are always oh in my mind
How deep is your love babe
No one cares about you
But it's not too late babe
See what my love can do!

Baby why - why should I hurt you?
How many tears can I hide?
Nobody loves you like I do
Time is on my side, baby

Baby why - why should I hurt you?
How many tears can I hide?
Nobody loves you like I do

Fools Lullaby

Baby when I lost you, my heart stood still
Oh baby when I kissed you gave me such a thrill
Ooh, I'm far away from home
Oh baby when I touched you felt a shiver on my skin
Oh baby oh I love you, this loves not a sin
Ooh, I'm far away from home
I'm so alone
Far away from home

Oh it's a fools lullaby
Oh I never meant to make you cry
We can make a better life
Don't make my blue eyes lie
Oh, it's a fools lullaby
I gave you all the best years of my life
Baby take another chance
And give it one more try

Oh baby if you call me, I'll be there
Whatever happens baby, we just won't care
Ooh, I'm far away from home
Oh baby take my heart, let's heal the pain
Take me in your arms, make love again
Ooh, I'm far away from home
I'm so alone
Far away from home


Take A Chance

Rain is such a lonely sound
Pouring on the ground
You're slipping away
You're slipping away
Driving through the midnight rain
Oh, I call your name
You're slipping away
Day after day
You're like a candle in the wind
Why don't you stay?

Take a chance and thats forever
We could be so good together
Take a chance, the greatest love is in your hands
Take a chance and be my lover
There will never be another
Take a chance, my lonely heart is in your hands

Please don't tell me it's the end
And we can be friends
You're slipping away
You're slipping away
If you ever change your mind
Oh, I'll give you time
You're slipping away
Day after day
You're like a candle in the wind
Why don't you stay?

Take a chance and don't be cruel
Oh, I'm waiting just for you
Take a chance and take my soul
Take a chance, oh baby we should loose control


Race To The Fire

Race to the fire
Oh, the wheels are turning
Oh, we're all just in a lonely world
Yeah, baby

Baby, love is a lonely number
Can't you hear the wheels of thunder
They're driving deep into your heart
Feelings they'll never be torn apart
Maybe he's the man behind the wire
He's living in a world of fire
He's sailing his ship alone
There's a heart, but there's no home

Race to the fire
Oh, the wheels are turning
Oh, we're all just in a lonely world
Till the end of the time
He's fighting the crime
That's no lie my baby
Race to the fire till the end of eden
To the city of the lost and found
He's too proud to cry-hard to live with a lie
Take him seriously baby
Race to the fire - Fire!
Race to the fire - Fire!
Race to the fire - He's fighting for your rights
Race to the fire - Fire!
Race to the fire - Fire!
Race to the fire - only the strong survive

Maybe he's going through the motions
There's a shadow of devotion
It's showing his destiny - One minute passed eternity
Oh, maybe good things don't last forever
He's living just now or never
No mountain is high enough
Times are getting really tough

Race to the fire - fighting for your rights
Race to the fire - time is on his side
Race to the fire - two hearts collide
Race to the fire - there is no crime


Sending Me Angels

I walked down to the river
Stood on the shore
Seems like the devils always trying to get in my door
Just when I thought I couldn't take anymore
Here you come again, my friend

He keeps sending me angels
From up on high
He keeps sending me angels
Teach me to fly
He keeps sending me angels
Sweet and true
He keeps sending me angels
Just like you

As I stand on this mountain
Face to the wind
Amazed by the number of times we've all sinned
Countless enemies, that could've been friends
Lord, here it comes again

He keeps sending me angels
Here they come a flying
He keeps sending me angels
To keep me from crying
He keeps sending me angels
So I'll never be blue
He keeps sending me angels
Just like you

He keeps sending me angels
From up on high
He keeps sending me angels
Teach me to fly
He keeps sending me angels
So I'll never be blue
He keeps sending me angels
Just like you

Some say that it's coming
Say he's already here
But love is a marytr through the joy and the fear
When I look in your eyes
Everything is so clear
My friend, here it comes again

He keeps sending me angels
Here they come a flying
He keeps sending me angels
To keep me from crying
He keeps sending me angels
So I'll never be blue
He keeps sending me angels
Just like you

He keeps sending me angels
From up on high
He keeps sending me angels
To teach me to fly
He keeps sending me angels
Sweet and true
He keeps sending me angels
He keeps sending me angels
From up on high
He keeps sending me angels
Teach me to fly
He keeps sending me angels
Sweet and true
Sending me angels
Sending me angels
Here they come a flying
He keeps sending me angels
Keep me from crying


Call Me

Love will always find a way
Feelings are the hardest words to say
Oh, call me - call me
Babe, I always call your name
I would never feel this way again
Oh, call me - call me
There's love enough - enough for two
There will never be another you
How can you mend a broken heart
Oh you said goodbye without a tear
There are a million souls - a million fears
That's no way to say goodbye, oh

Call me - call me
Tell me what you feel
My love never dies (my love never dies)
Call me - call me
Tell me what you feel
You light up my life (you light up my life)

I'll be there if you want me
I'm living with my memories
Oh, call me - call me
From the bottom of your heart
You swore we'd never break apart
Oh, call me - call me
Oh, hold on tight - don't let go
If you love me let me know
I never had a love like ours

I'm never gonna give you up
Why did you break my lonely heart
My world begins and ends with you
If there's one thing that I know
Babe, I'll never let you go
Babe, I sold my heart to you


Angel Heart

Oh baby I'm dreaming
I'm dreaming that you are my love
If you hear my heartbeat
Oh baby I'm feeling
I'm rocking and reeling apart
Can't you hear my heartbeat
Please take my hand - don't cry
True love - we can't deny

I feel a thunder in my heart
Every night I feel emotion
Cause you've got my love babe
Angel Heart - Oh, we'll never break apart
I feel a thunder in my heart
Every night I feel emotion
Cause you've got my love babe
reakin' up, that's no surprise
So much invested in our so-called "love lives"
Give it up, heart over mind
You can't explain away
The tears you been cryin'
I don't want to own you
I just want to know you
I just want to love you
More than words can say


You're The Greatest Love

You got the look of love
Oh, from heaven above
Your cool blue eyes are killing me
I'm hooked on you
You're my fantasy
Oh, when two hearts collide
There is no place to hide
Tell me your dreams
I'll tell you mine
To lose this love would be a crime

You're the greatest love
The greatest of all
I'll be there whenever you call
You're my one and only
Baby when I'm lonely
Just the thought of you it drives me wild
You're the greatest love
The greatest of all
I'll be there whenever you call
You're my one and only
Baby when I'm lonely
Just the thought of you it drives me wild

I save my heart for you
See what a love can do
A lonely night in a tough, old town
It breaks my heart
When the lights go down
Can't you see I'm dying
They'll be no reason why
Tell me your dreams
I'll tell you mine
To lose this love would be a crime

Don't stop loving - don't stop crying
I'll give my heart - never see me crying
Don't stop loving - don't stop at all
I'll always be around
Whenever you fall

You're the greatest love


God Gave Love To You

There were times when I was young and free
And I said I need nobody
Only you and eternity
But tonight I'm feeling so alone
And I know I need somebody
But your heart is made of stone
And I know I need somebody
But your heart is made of stone

Tonight, don't let forever fade
Tonight my dreams can come true
Cause theres no mountain high enough
If God gave love to you
If God gave love to you

All my dreams are just a memory
Of a river full of love babe, to my endless destiny
Always said we'd make my dreams come true
And I have never been so lonely
I have never been so blue
Oh I need, I need your loving
And you know you need me too


All We Have Is Tonight

There's a chance that we can make it
There's a chance to make it right
Words cannot express my love on this endless night
Just one step from heaven
One step from paradise
Memories are made of this
Don't tell me no lies
Give me one good reason
If you don't want my love
Everybody needs some love
And I think I got enough

All we have is tonight
Don't throw away this miracle
We are stronger than pride
You gotta let me feel the ground
You only won - playing the game
Losers gonna fall
Try if you want to
Try if you dare
Winners take it all

Baby, can't you hear my heartbeat
I'm looking through the eyes of love
Heaven just can't wait a while
One night's not enough
We can be so good together
We can make it on our own
There must be a way my love
Don't ride this way alone
Lost between two fires
The night beats the day
Hiding for my hungry heart
Love's here to stay


I'm Only A Lonely Child

That's no way to say goodbye
Oh, these tears will never dry
This world is like a burning fire
Baby can't we still be friends
Till it ends there is no end
Baby can't you see my deep desire
Always forever - babe I'll keep trying
Always forever - to stop it dying

I'm only a lonely child
Inside a lonely woman
Come take my heart tonight
Make the clouds disappear
I'm only a lonely child
Inside a lonely woman
My heart is burning wild
I'm fighting my fears

Nothing going on our way
Darling can't you hear me say
Only a strong love will stay forever
Rain is such a lonesome sound
In the city of the lost and found
We better try hard to get together
Always forever- babe I'll keep trying
always forever - to stop it dying


Born To Be A Winner

You never give up when the others they do
You never fail you never feel blue
Everyone loves you
Baby I tell you the truth
Life is the hardest game
The pain not for you
You make it and take it
You never look back
Walk through a fire
You never lose track
Everybody loves you
Oh it's your time
Everybody needs you
Baby be mine

You're born to be a winner
You're born to be a winner
Born to be a winner, my love
Oh there's no mountain high enough
Don't hesitate
You're born to be a winner
Born to be a winner
You'll never give up
Oh you break my heart
Baby, baby we can make a new start

You take every chance
You're so young and so strong
You give what they want
You'll never grow old
Heaven must have sent you
Baby you make me feel good
I'd spend the rest of my life with you
If only I could
You light up my life
Wrap my troubles in dreams
Take my desires
You know what they need
Everybody loves you
There's no other say
Everybody needs you
I beg you to stay


Save Your Love

G: I've always wondered alone
Afraid and on my own
But up to now I think of you
B: Memories lost and regained
Seem to refrain me
On days that weren't quite so blue

A: Save your love
Like it means the world to you
Cause that's exactly what your love means to me
It's like a spirit lost and finally set free
Come on and save your love
Save your love for me

G: You often told me your feelings
Hiding down deep within
Where do I begin
B: So I'll keep on singing that song
Hope you'll sing along
Then maybe someday we'll be friends

Save your love
Oh, save your love
Come on save your love
Save your love for me
Save your love
Save your love
Come on save your love
Save your love for

Save your love
Save your love
Save your love
Save your love
Save your love


I Cry Myself To Sleep At Night

I think you like it a lot
I think you like what you see
I know you like what you got, babe
That's what you got with me

This heart, these hands
Are made to understand
This girl and that man
If we don't make it no one can
Oh baby

Oh I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm so in love
'Cause I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm all shook up
'Cause I cry myself to sleep at night
This woman is in love

I think you like a little solo
A little one on one
A little old fashioned feel good
Make me emotionally numb

I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm so in love
I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm all shook up
'Cause I cry myself to sleep at night
This woman is in love

I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm so in love
I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm all shook up
I cry myself to sleep at night
'Cause I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm so in love
I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm all shook up
And I cry myself to sleep at night
I'm so in love
I cry myself to sleep at night...


Daytime Friends

Some friends you lose
Some friends you win
Time will heal the pain
I would give up everything
To hold you once again
Sorry doesn't make it right
And tears are not enough
I can't take these lonely nights
In shadows from this love

We are daytime friends and nighttime fools
Oh nobody takes the place of you
Oh a woman is a mans best friend in this world, baby
We are daytime friends and nighttime fools
Oh baby, breaking up is hard to do
I have golden days and restless lonely nights with you, darling

Oh heaven knows where heaven is
How does this love survive
Try a little tenderness to keep this love alive
Nights begin to drive me down
It's waiting in my heart
Oh love it makes the world go round
But we're so far apart

I'm missing your sweet tender kiss
I'm missing you tonight babe
All I wants your sweet caress
there's nothing left to hide baby

[Romantic Warrior]

Sally Comes Around

She was alone, alone again
Living in her broken world
She found out love was just a game
For a young and foolish girl
It doesn't matter, I heard her say
Love is no friend of mine
And it's so hard to forget her past
So cruel and so unkind
She needs to be needed
Love's hard to find

Oh, when Sally comes around
Oh don't let her down
When Sally comes around the town
She wears a wounded heart like a fallen crown
She's tough, with a heart of gold
Oh, when Sally comes around
There's a burning flame
Deep in her heart I know
She's searching in the dark through the falling rain
She's tough, with a heart of gold

A lonely girl is home again
And everyone knows your name
Feels so good to have you around
Things have never been the same
So hang on in, don't you cry
Sally you're among your friends
Ain't no way to hide your joy
Ain't no way to hide your pain
You need to be needed
Again and again


Fire In My Soul

I was so in love, then you broke my heart
I'll never understand the rules of love
You said to me true love never dies
You said to me
Now I'm sleeping with a memory

Yeah

There is a fire in my soul
Burning don't you know
Can you hear it on the radio
Fire in my soul
Out of my control
Said you loved me then you let me go
Oh Oh
Can you hear it on the radio
Oh Oh
Can you hear it on the radio

Just like a dream you are mine
When I saw you the very first time
You looked at me with those eyes
You said you loved me I believed your lies
Whey do you keep me hanging on the line
The love you gave me's just a waste of time
There's a fire burning up my soul

I was so in love, then you broke my heart
No No this love will never die

I should have seen should have known
When you told me you had to go
So naive you know
You burn me up and then you let me go
Why do you keep me hanging on the line
The love you gave me's just a waste of time
There's a fire burning up my soul


Stay

Please be mine
I know

Oh I know you've been fooling with my heart
Cause deep inside you don't know where to start
So insecure of what tomorrow will bring
Oh please be sure you're my all and everything
You've heard it all before
I'm asking you once more

To baby stay, stay for a lifetime
Don't go away
Oh, baby be mine
Cause I know
I'll always be loving you
Oh baby stay
We'll make forever
For we were born
To be together
Cause we are strong
I'll always believe in you

Oh I know, strange things happen everyday
This love will grow, you're the light to guide my way
Don't be afraid, I'll never let you down
Please won't you stay, have faith in this love that we found
Don't throw this love away
Oh baby won't you stay

Oh baby stay
We'll make forever
For we were born
To be together
Cause we are strong
I'll always believe in you
Oh baby stay, stay for a lifetime
Don't go away
Oh baby be mine
Cause I know
I'll always be loving you
Oh baby stay, stay for a lifetime
Don't go away
Oh baby be mine
Cause I know
I'll always be loving you


Send Me The Pillow

Memories of happiness
Are all I have when you're not here
Oh I wish I could hold you in my arms again
Rain is such a lonely sound
Falling softly to the ground
Oh I wish I could hold you in my arms again
I need to hold you near so until then

Send me the pillow that you dream on
Send me a love line to your heart
Oh babe I know that you're the only one
Darling if I must stay here without you
Oh send me the pillow that you dream on
Send me your love straight from the heart
Always forever baby I love you
Darling if I must stay here without you

Lonely nights I dream of you
Of all the things that we would do
Oh I know I will hold you in my arms again
Think of how it used to be
Lying here next to me
Oh I know I will hold you in my arms again
I long for you, but darling until then

Oh send me the pillow that you dream on
Send me a love line to your heart
Oh babe I know that you're the only one
Darling if I must stay here without you
Please darling, send me the pillow that you dream on
Send me your love straight from the heart
Always forever baby I love you
Darling if I must stay here without you


From The Bottom Of My Lonely Heart

They say love is blind
But you are always on my mind
I'll never, never feel this way again
It's hard for me to say
To tell you why I feel this way
I'll never, never feel this way again
I wouldn't try to fool you
It's you I give my love to

From the bottom of my lonely heart
Every moment that we spend apart
Baby, I promise you my love
From the bottom of my lonely heart
Just for you no matter where you are
Baby, I promise you my love

Love hurts, so they say
This time love is here to stay
I'll never, never feel this way again
It's more clear to me
That loving you is all I need
I'll never, never feel this way again
I wouldn't try to fool you
It's you I give my love to


Silhouette In Red

Oh, I know you're a dreamer
There's a child in your eyes
You saved up all your memories
You're tired of all the lies
I hear you cry for someone
Please someone heal the pain
A hand to hold and guide her
Through the fire and through the rain
Oh babe it's not too late now
Don't say it has to end
Been through so much together babe
I'll always be your friend

You are just like an angel
You're just like an angel
So lucky to have met
My silhouette in red
You are just like an angel
You're just like an angel
I never will forget
My silhouette in red

Oh maybe you are lonely
I'm afraid to ask you why
you turn to hide in silence
It hurts so much inside
You lead me through your darkness
The colors of your dreams
Dreams so full of questions
The reasons plain to see
You don't have all the answers
And no one ever will
You'll search the whole world over babe
Learn so much more yet still

When you see her
She'll be searching
For truth and destiny
The answer that she looks for
I hope one day she'll see


I Climb Every Mountain

Paradise is you my love
With you by my side
Now until forever
Till the end of time
I've wished upon a thousand stars
Someday you I'd find
I'm living for you baby
You'll always be mine
I'm searching for you baby
Drowning in your love
No I'll never give it up

Oh I'll climb every mountain
And I'll cross every sea
To lay in your arms
For eternity
Sail every ocean to capture your heart
To be in your arms
Never to be apart
I'll climb every mountain
To be with you
I'll cross every sea
To be with you
I'm here for you darling
You belong, to me

Since you won my heart my love
I've never been the same
I need your love to feed it
Like the flower needs the rain
Somethings they will never change
Babe you know it's true
I live for you
And it's all that I can do
Waiting for you baby
Hungry for your love
No, I'll never get enough

Oh, I'll climb every mountain
And I'll cross every sea
To lay in your arms
For eternity
Sail every ocean
To capture your heart
To be in your arms
Never to be apart
I'll climb every mountain
To be with you
I'll cross every sea
To be with you
I'm here for you darling
You belong, to me

I'll climb every mountain
To be with you
I'll cross every sea
To be with you
I'm here for you darling
You belong, to me


Bad Dreams

She was the black sheep of her family
She was a rebel., loved living free
She gave her lovin' fast as the wind
She gave it all again and again
Sometimes mean, sometimes kind
The more she'd look, the less she'd find
She never knew what was right or wrong
Never knowing where her heart belonged yeah

Bad dreams, blue tears, and mixed emotions
Search for a heart that can't be broken
She's walking down an endless street
Her body's burning with the heat
Bad dreams, blue tears, land mixed emotions
Search for a heart that can't be broken
She's walking down an endless street
Her body's burning with the heat yeah

She loved him once but then they had a fight
The tables turn now she's cold as ice
Still searching after all these years
This lady's cried a million tears
She was a hero of the lost and found
She'd pick em up, she'd put em down
She's at the wrong place at the right time
Stone cold woman, you're way out of lone oh


James Dean

Grew up together in the neighborhood
She never noticed that he looked so good
He told her all I do is dream of you oh yeah
No, she had never seen
In her wildest dreams
Blue eyes that gleam just like James Dean

Big plans their make in a small hometown
No chance to leave would really bring him down
A crazy rebel with a cause, he was for sure oh yeah
No, she had never seen
In her wildest dreams
Blue eyes that gleam just like James Dean

He writes her letters from around the world
Says he loves her and she's still his girl
Maybe he'll come back, don't know when
Oh she'll never see her baby again

He's got the whole world in his hands
And she was Alice in his wonderland
Oh they had dreams, but now he has it all yeah
No, she had never seen
In her wildest dreams
Blue eyes that gleam just like James Dean

She was the diamond of his eyes
And she would always be right by his side
But good guys only win in the movies yeah
No, she had never seen
In her wildest dreams
Blue eyes that gleam just like James Dean

He writes her letters from around the world
Says he loves her and she's still his girl
Maybe he'll come back, he don't know when
Oh she'll never see her baby again


Clouds In My Coffee

Oh, do you remember the moment
When the sky turned a sad shade of gray
As darkness crept over the ocean
Then you turned to walk away
I looked to the place at the table
Your face no longer seen
The reflection I saw in your coffee
Was a bitter reflection of me

Clouds in my coffee
And tears in my heart
Thats what I'm feeling, yeah
You've torn me apart
Clouds in my coffee
It can't be a dream
But as you walk away
It's all I can see

I still remember the feeling
As the night woke up to the dawn
To awake and realize the meaning
What my eyes had focused upon
This room is so cold and so empty
Just spaces where photographs were
The echo and silence assured me
That you really were no longer here


Years May Come

Heartaches and so much pain
Cry out to you in vain
I'll keep my promises sweet darling
Don't let this sweet love die
So many reasons why
I'll keep my promises, oh darling, oh yeah
I'll wait for you my sweet love

Years my come and years may go
Still there's one thing that I know
That my heart is only beating just for you, darling
Only a fool would let you go
And I will always love you so
For my heart is only waiting just for you

Time passes by so slow
With every hour yeah I know
I'll keep my promises sweet darling
The stories that you'll hear
Jealous words have no fear
I'll keep my promises sweet darling
Oh, are you dying my sweet love


Cryin' A Little

As the warm sun kissed the springtime
And the clouds drifted away
You'd walk along the sandy beach
Another endless day
As the summer turned to autumn
Nights are drawing in so near
Evenings laying by the fire
Love was truly here

And now you are cryin' a little
What happened girl?
What happened girl?
Did they destroy your perfect world?
And now you are cryin' a little
What happened girl?
What happened girl?
Did they destroy your perfect world?

As the fall changed into winter
He took her breath away
Nights were long and bitter cold
She saw the light of day
With the end of all four seasons
Oh, things have moved so fast
The romance that was her's forever
Has melted with the past

The love that you crave for
Won't come so easily now
Oh seasons change and so do we


You Are So Beautiful

You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
You're everything I hope for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful to me


Before We Get Any Closer

Before we get any closer
Before we let it begin
Before our feelings take over us
I wanna tell you one thing
I'm just an ordinary girl
Who needs some love in my life
I won't pretend to be more than I am
I've had some lovers before
But now I need something more
Than just a meaningless holding of hands
I'm just an ordinary girl
Who wants to reach out and find
Someone who honestly feels like I do
Love is so fragile a thing
I'd sooner never begin
Than to find out too late it's not true

Before we get any closer
Before we tell any lies
Before we make any promises
We really ought to decide
Is this a casual affair
Two ships that pass in the night
Cold we find heaven out there just one time
Or are we closer than close
With deeper feelings than most
Could ever know for the whole of their lives

Before we get any closer
Before we two become us
I need to know if you'll always be
Someone to totally trust
I'm just an ordinary girl
Who needs some love in my life
I won't pretend to be more than I am
I've had some lovers before
But now I need something more
Than just a meaningless holding of hands
Is this a casual affair
Two ships that pass in the night
Could we find heaven out there just one time
Or are we closer than close
With deeper feelings than most
Could ever know for the whole of their lives

I'm just an ordinary girl
Who wants to reach out and find
Someone who honestly feels like I do
Love is so fragile a thing
I'd sooner never begin
Than to find out too late it's not true


You Won't See Me Cry

So many times before
You just walked out my door
I'm telling you I can't take it
Can't take it any more
Everytime you make it happen
Feels so sad - Cold and sad
Don't you miss my tender love
Temptation is knocking but you can't fight it

You won't see me cry
Please baby baby come
You won't see me cry
Please baby baby
You won't see me cry
Please baby baby come
You won't see me cry
Please baby baby

I'm begging you not to go now
Please don't go away
I just can't take all this heartache
Baby please stay
Everytime you make it happen
Feels so sad and cold inside
Don't you miss my tender love
Temptation is knocking but you can't fight it

You won t see me cry
Please baby baby come home
You won't see me cry
Please baby baby
You won t see me cry
Please baby baby come home
You won't see me cry
I'm missing you like crazy - Come home

You won't see me cry
Please baby baby come home
You won't see me cry
Please baby baby
You won't see me cry
Please baby baby come home
You won't see me cry
I'm begging you baby come home
You won't see me cry
You're driving me crazy - Come home
You won't see me cry
You're not gonna leave me - no no no
You won't see me cry
Please baby baby come home
You won't see me cry
Baby come home

Nothing To Do With Love

God we must be crazy
The whole world's falling apart
I've never seen such suffering
Or so many broken hearts

And how people can hurt each other
Lord I swear by the stars above
Ain't got nothing to do with love
Ain't got nothing to do with love

You say you want my money
You wanna buy you a brand new car
You say you love me honey
I ain't seen no proof so far

Cause the way you've been treating me darling
Doin' things I've never heard of
It ain't got nothing to do with love
It ain't got nothing to do with love

God we must be crazy
The whole world's been falling apart
I ain't never seen so much misery
Or so many broken hearts

How people can kill each other
In the name of the lord above

It ain't got nothing to do with love
Nothing to do with love

Nothing to do with love...


You're The One

Another rainy morning
People running by
My head is still in the clouds
I dream with open eyes
Suddenly out of nowhere
He came into my life
Like we'd known each other
For quite a while

You're the one that God had made for me
You're the one who's always in my dreams
The one who keeps me goin'
When I can't go on
The one that I've been waiting for
For so long

In the sound of silence
The time is standing still
There's some kind of bond between us
That's givin' me the chill
Do you really wonder
That we can burn the sky
It's written a thousand years ago
In the book of life

You're the one that god had made for me
You're the one who's mine eternally
The one who keeps me dreamin'
When I'm sad and tired
Who gives my life a meaning
Till the day I die


Making Love (Out Of Nothing At All)

I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie

I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream

And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose

And I know the night is fading
And I know the time's gonna fly
And I'm gonna tell you everything I gotta tell you
But I know I gotta give it a try

And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules and then I know how to break them
And I always know the name of the game

But I don't know how to leave you
And I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all

Out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all

Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all

Every time I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky
Is taking aim at your eyes like a spotlight

The beating of my heart is a drum and it's lost
And it's looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright

I gotta follow it
Cause everything I own, now
It's nothing till I give it to you

I can make you find your power
I can make you lose your fear
I can make your body do some very magical things
I'll make your inhibitions all disappear

I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
And I can make you every promise that has ever been made
And I can make all your demons be gone

But I'm never gonna make it without you
Do you really wanna see me crawl
And I'm never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all

(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all
(Making love)

Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)


Given It All

I have given it all
I have taken all the punches
Back into the corner I crawl
Now the dice have tumbled
How the mightly stumble and fall
I have given it all

Left to dry in the rain
Washed away by love's indifference
Broken down, twisted and lame
Hold me for a moment
Help me find myself once again
Take me in from the rain
Shelter me from this pain

We wander from the straight and narrow and we
Make a bed of nails that we lie upon

I should've known baby
But now I know

Here am I in love again
Clinging to your arms again
Wondering why I wanted to be free
When I thought that we could live apart
I must'a been crazy
What a fool I was, what a fool
From the moment you got in my heart
I should've known baby
But now I know

Her am I in love again
Clinging to your arms again
Wondering why I wanted to be free
Here am I next to you
Wondering what we oughta do
Can't afford to lose it all again

Here am I ....... yeah yeah
I'm clinging to your arms again
Here am I, there are you
We nearly broke our hearts in two
It would have been the worst thing in the world


What You Got

I'm so sorry baby
I was the one who hesitated
And I know how you suffered
And I know how long you must have waited
But now both my eyes are open
And I can truly see
That I'm as sorry as I can be
Can you ever forgive me darling
Can you ever forgive me girl

I must have been crazy
My little heart must been leakin'
I admit it babe
I admit,
I was the first to weaken
But I love you oh so much
And it ain't no doubt
You know what I'm talking about
Can you ever forgive me baby
Can you ever forgive me girl

Coz I just want a little bit, little bit
Honey I don't need a lot
I just want a little bit, little bit
Of what you got

I just want a little, baby
Honey I don't need a lot
I just want a little bit, little bit
Of what you got

I'm so sorry babe
I was the one who hesitated
I know how long you suffered
And how long you must have waited

But now both my eyes are open
And I can finally see
And I'm sorry as I can be
Can you ever forgive me darling
Can you ever forgive me girl

Coz I just want a little bit, little bit
Honey I don't need a lot
I just want a little bit, little bit
Of what you got

A little bit, a little bit
Honey I don't need a lot
just a little bit
a little bit of what you got

a little bit, little bit
just a little bit, little bit
I say just a little bit
Of what you got


Bridge Over Troubled Water

When you're weary, feelin' small,
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all;
I'm on your side. Oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out, when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard I will comfort you.
I'll take your part. Oh, when darkness comes
and pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silver girl, sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine. Oh, if you need a friend,
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease you mind.


Time Mends A Broken Heart

I'm living in another time another place
I knew you then
It used to be a different World
And now I start to live again
A sight of heaven in a grain of sand
Leading me on taking me by the hand

Time mends a broken heart
Time mends a broken heart
Love tears it all apart
But time mends a broken heart

I see you in another life
There's someone else that I didn't know
It used to hurt me deep inside
I had to learn to let you go
I thought that happiness was by your side
I didn't know that it was here in me
And still alive

Time mends a broken heart
Time mends a broken heart
Love tears it all apart
But time mends a broken heart

Time mends a broken heart
Time mends a broken heart
Love tears it all apart
But time mends a broken heart


Driving Me Wild

A long night
Cutting through the desert heat
The sun was rising
The day was rising the day was standing on it's feet
I saw a long shadow snakin' down
The dusty road side
To where you were standing
Waiting for the big ride

A vision in black no holding back
I pulled in along side
Drove till night falling light
The time has come to pay the price

You're driving me wild
Driving me wild
You turn me upside down
Turn me around
You make feel so good
You're driving me wild

Everyone loves a mystery
Everyone loves to dream
A real cliff hanger
A real good thriller
But how about love for real

There's a god in the sky
Coz we made it all night
The warm river flowing inside
But the river ran dry
As day went by
He couldn't wait to say goodbye

You're driving me wild
Driving me wild
You turn me upside down
Turn me around
You make me feel so good
You're driving me wild

Everyone loves a mystery

You're driving me wild
Driving me wild


Sexual Device

I'm a run away freight train
Headin' on down your track
I'm the eye of a hurricane
Shooting daggers in your back
I'm the howl at the window
The sound of a crackling flame
Getting uncontrollable
And the lines about to break

Nine times out of ten
I get what I want
I always want more
Gonna get what I'm looking for

Be my sexual
Be my sexual device
Be my sexual
Be my sexual device

I'm a tiger in the bedroom
A mist in the air at night
Inconceivable
An oasis in the fire
A shock on the airwaves
A fighter with a hungry heart
I'm incurable
A new sensation
No reservations

This time I win
This time you lose
I still want more
Give me what I'm looking for

Be my sexual
Be my sexual device
Be my sexual
Be my sexual device

Be my sexual
Be my sexual device
Be my sexual
Be my sexual device


Make It Right Tonight

It's gonna take time for us to trust again
I can see it in your eyes
All these walls you've built around yourself
To keep the hurt away
Keep the tenderness inside

We've gotta find doors
Gotta find an open road to your heart
Come on baby...

You gotta be strong
Life is what you make it
I'm hanging on
Love's right here, just take it
Whatever is wrong
It won't take long to make it right
We can make it right tonight

We've got to find words to heal these differences
Gotta find some peace of mind
There'll come a day you'll realise that,
After all, we're only human
no one's perfect all the time

But you got to hold on tight as hell to your dream
It's never too late baby

But you gotta be strong
Life is what you make it
I'm hanging on
Love's right here, just take it
Whatever is wrong
It' won't take long to make it right
We can make it right tonight

Twenty Twenty vision
Looking back at out mistakes
But when it comes to now you can't see straight

Make this decision
Heaven's here for us to take
And heaven won't wait


All Night To Know You

I think time and motion just stood still
I feel like the hours are there to kill
Now for the first time in my life

I am right where I wanna be
I'm closing the door on what I used to be
Now for the first time in my life

I have to hold on
The feelings too strong
I shake like a leaf
I tremble inside

It's gonna take, all night to know
All night to know, all night to know you well
It's gonna take, all night to know you
All night to know you, all night to know you

Inside the room it's cold and dark
The nighttime won't sleep till we give our hearts
Now for the first time in my life

I have to hold on
The feelings too strong
I shake like a leaf
I tremble inside

It's gonna take, all night to know
All night to know ,all night to know you well
It's gonna take, all night to know you
All night to know you, all night to know you

All night to know you

It's gonna take, all night to know
All night to know, all night to know you well
It's gonna take, all night to know you
All night to know you, all night to know you


Forget Her

My friend you're worn out and aching now
Your life stretched tight and breaking now
And you seem to find that every morning's
Like a mountain you must climb

Forget her, shake her free
Like a leaf from a tree, you must let her go
It's hard I know
But tomorrow is another road that leads
Away from here, to the first horizon
Forget her

My friend you could open windows now
Let the cool breezes through your life somehow
'Cos there's people out there, other people
crying dying trying to get somewhere

Forget her, let her go
with the ebb and flow of the passing tide
Now she's fortune's bride
And the days line up like cards and you can deal
Yourself a chance while the wheel's still turning
Forget her

Well I'm so good at giving advice
But I know when you look at my life
It seems crazy
But I can stand aside
And I can see with different eyes
Sometimes more clearly

Forget her, till she sees

Like a face in a dream so far away
She will fade away
And tomorrow is another road that leads
Away from here, to the first horizon
Forget her - she has forgotten you
Forget her


Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't gettin us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here

And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here

I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
But you've been cold to me so long
I'm crying icicles instead of tears
And all I can do is keep on telling you

I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
Cause two out of three ain't bad
Don't be sad
Cause two out of three ain't bad

You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding at the bottom
of a cracker jack box

I can't lie
I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not
No matter how I try
I'll never be able
To give you something
Something that I just haven't got

Well there's only one boy that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I'll never get him out of my heart
He never loved me back
ooh I know

Well I remember how he left me on a stormy night
He kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded an begged him not to walk out that door
He packed his bags and turned away
And he kept on telling me
He kept on telling me
He kept on telling me

I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
Cause two out of three ain't bad

I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
Cause two out of three ain't bad

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't gettin g us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here
I keep on telling you
I keep on telling you
I keep on telling you

I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
Cause two out of three ain't bad

I want you
I need you
But there ain't now way I"m ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
Cause two out of three ain't bad
Don't be sad
Cause tow out of three ain't bad


Sexual Device (The Vari Mix)

I'm a run away freight train
Headin' on down your track
I'm the eye of a hurricane
Shooting daggers in your back
I'm the howl at the window
The sound of a crackling flame
Getting uncontrollable
And the lines about to break

Nine times out of ten
I get what I want
I always want more
Gonna get what I'm looking for

Be my sexual, be my sexual device
Be my sexual, be my sexual device

I'm a tiger in a bedroom
A mist in the air night
Inconceivable
An oasis in the fire
A shock on the airwaves
A fighter with a hungry heart
I'm incurable
A new sensation
No reservations

This time I win
This time you loose
I still want more
Give me what I'm looking for

Be my sexual, be my sexual device
Be my sexual, be my sexual device


Limelight

I can see the glow
Of the distant sun
I can feel it inside
Maybe this day
Could be the one

I can hear the roar
Of the distant crowd
They are waiting for me
Calling my name
Shouting out loud

Limelight
You were all I ever wanted, since it all began
Limelight
Shining on me, telling the world who I am
Oh, Limelight
Don't let me slip right through you fingers
There's along way to fall
After all the years of waiting
I'm going to show them all

I can see the world
In a different light
Now it's easy to say
Where I went wrong
What I did right
Holding on isn't always easy
I am gonna change my mind

Limelight
You were all I ever wanted, since it all began
Limelight
Shining on me, telling the world who I am
Oh, Limelight
Don't let me slip right through you fingers
There's along way to fall

Limelight
You were all I ever wanted, since it all began
Limelight
Shining on me, telling the world who I am
Yeah, Limelight
Don't let me slip right through you fingers
There's along way to fall

Maybe the road's not easy
I'm gonna show them all

Heaven

Here where we live
There's peace in this winter night
Pain has forever gone away
Oceans and winds are calm
And the stars so bright
Come and stay beside me
Come and be my friend

Heaven has opened it's arms above our heads
Heaven let sunshine upon our road
Heaven let love be the guide along the way
Let the Angels say Hello...

Far from the city lights
By an open fire
Come let's start again
Start all over again...

Heaven has opened it's arms above our heads
Heaven let sunshine upon our road
Heaven let love be the guide along the way
Let the Angels say Hello...

Heaven has opened it's arms above our heads
Heaven let sunshine upon our road
Heaven let love be the guide along the way
Let the Angels say Hello...

Heaven has opened it's arms above our heads
Heaven let sunshine upon our road
Heaven let love be the guide along the way
Let the Angels say Hello...

Let the Angels say Hello... Heaven...Heaven...


Like An Ocean

Ocean...Ocean

In the darkness of nowhere there's nothing at all
And I feel like I've been here too long
Shadows and teardrops fading away
And my heart is crying for love

Far from the moments when my eyes were so closed
And my heartbeat was longing for more
Way over mountains higher than high
I could feel the breeze from below

Like an ocean
Like an ocean

Now tell me your secrets come closer and whisper
I feel like I've seen you before
There's no more illusions no more escapes
Cause I'm tired of asking for more
Seems like a lifetime fading away
I'm lost in an ocean of love
I'm reaching and holding on to my dreams
Cause I'm not alone anymore

Like an ocean
Way over mountains higher than high
Like an ocean
Way over mountains higher than high

Far from those moments when my eyes were so closed
Way over mountains higher than high
I could feel the breeze from below
It's like an ocean ocean hey

Like an ocean
Way over mountains higher than high
Like an ocean
Way over mountains higher than high

Like an ocean
Way over mountains higher than high
Like an ocean
Way over mountains higher than high


Soon Will Be Too Late

Morning has broken with silence in my room
Eyes have been opened with pain beneath the moon
Feelings that are colder than ice upon a rock
Endless nights in anger and hours filled with talk

Beauty of a lifetime a crystal-clear romance
Were supposed to be mine and join me in a dance
Days were filled with pleasure no clouds were in my sight
Love was our treasure that no one could deny...

But where do we go from here?
Soon will be too late to
Go anywhere from here
Soon will be too late

Hopefully dreaming that love will still survive
Deeply within me a song that never dies
All those days of passion and all those lonely nights
Must have been worth something they lightened up my life

Come and lay beside me let gentle love be real
Look into my eyes for this is how I feel
Let me wipe your tears away you don't need to be sad
Share with me your dreams that once were all we had

But where do we go from here?
Soon will be too late to
Go anywhere from here
Soon will be too late

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?


You Always Saw The Blue Skies

I'm turned around and lost out here again
Feeling like there's no way out and without you no way in
Where are you my friend?
I know how hard it is to keep from crying out loud
To look up in the sky and see nothing but clouds
The last thing you said "you know my hope never dies"
No matter how dark it was you always saw the blue skies

Oh I'm sick and tired of yesterday
I think of all the times I chose the worst things and I threw the best away
What would you say?
I know how hard it is to keep from crying out loud
To look up in the sky and see nothing but clouds
The last thing you said "you know my hope never dies"
No matter how dark it was you always saw the blue skies

I just hope this road keeps turning
'Til I find a place to end this yearning

Where are you my friend?
You know how hard it is to keep from crying out loud
To look up in the sky and see nothing but clouds
The last thing you said "you know my hope never dies"
No matter how dark it was you always saw the blue skies

No matter how dark it was you always saw the blue skies
No matter how dark it was you always saw the blue skies


We Can Start Here

Drifting stars above the high trees
Recognize see it's own destiny
And all the reasons to believe
Our future from tonight is through
I'm talking to you

I know you feel the same way
We know the game we could play
You know there's no turning back
We can start here

Ocean sound below the high seas
Understand listen to how we feel
It's the circle of our dreams
Touch me now or set me free
I'm talking to you

I know you feel the same way
We know the game we could play
You know there's no turning back
We can start here

The fire in our hearts
We have found this perfect glow
I'm talking to you

I know you feel the same way
We know the game we could play
You know there's no turning back
We can start here

I know you feel the same way
We know the game we could play
You know there's no turning back
We can start here

I know you feel the same way
We know the game we could play
You know there's no turning back
We can start here


Angel Of The Morning

There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can bind your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn

Just call me angel of the morning
Just touch my cheek before you leave me oh my baby
Just call me angel of the morning
Then slowly turn away from me

Maybe the sunlight will be dimmed
And it won't matter anyhow
If morning's echoes says we've sinned
Then it was what I wanted now
And if we're victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light oh my baby

Just call me angel of the morning
Just touch my cheek before you leave me baby
Just call me angel of the morning
Then slowly turn away from me

Baby baby baby

Just call me angel of the morning
Just touch my cheek before you leave me oh my baby
Just call me angel of the morning
Just touch my cheek before you leave me baby


The Reason Why

Every time you see me walking in the room
Can you see it in my face
I've lost interest in all the things you do
And I'm feeling misplaced

Can you tell me it's over
I don't wanna lie
All I really wanna know is
The reason why

Where did our love go wrong
Cause I need to know
Can you tell me can you tell me baby
Where did our love go wrong
Cause I need to know
Can you tell me can you tell me baby

I'm sure that you feel the same way too
But you're hiding it inside
There's nothing left for us between me and you
Nothing but heartache inside

Can you tell me it's over
I don't wanna lie
All I really wanna know is
The reason why

Where did our love go wrong
Cause I need to know
Can you tell me can you tell me baby
Where did our love go wrong
Cause I need to know

Our love is strong come on
We could make it through
There's nothing left to lose
It will be alright - alright

Where did our love go wrong
Cause I need to know
Can you tell me can you tell me baby
Where did our love go wrong
Cause I need to know
Cause I need to know
I need to know
Where did our love go wrong
Where did our love go wrong
Where did our love go wrong
Where did our love go wrong
It will be alright
It will be alright


Return To Blue

I saw your eyes
I felt your passion
And still I can't decide what to do
I heard your lies
I felt your hunger
I'll have to realize what is true

I'm not the one looking out for perfection
I believe in love and I believe in you
But it's so hard for me to understand

To keep on loving you the way you want me to
I return to blue
I don't know what to do
To keep on loving you I need to know the truth
I return to blue
I just don't want want to lose
So I make the move
Return to blue

It might be hard
Sure won't be easy
But it's the way it has to be
Too many nights without you near me
Without the love I need to feel

I'm not the one looking out for perfection
I believe in love and I believe in you
But it's so hard for me to understand

To keep on loving you the way you want me to
I return to blue
I don't know what to do
To keep on loving you I need to know the truth
I return to blue
I just don't want want to lose
So I make the move
Return to blue


You're Breaking My Heart Again

Here I stand alone with my dreams
Trying to forget all that we've been through
How can I lie and fool myself
Knowing just how much I feel for you
This time won't be the last time
How come I just can't get away from you
It hurts so good inside

You're breaking my heart again and I can't get over you
You're breaking my heart again
I'm losing the fight
You're breaking my heart again
Breaking my heart

Without you I spend my nights
Trying to escape my emotions
This time won't be the last time
How come I just can't get away from you
It hurts so good inside

You're breaking my heart again and I can't get over you
You're breaking my heart again
I'm losing the fight

You're breaking my heart again and I will be here for you
You're breaking my heart again
What can I do

You're breaking my heart again

You're breaking my heart again and I can't get over you
You're breaking my heart again
I'm losing the fight


I Put A Spell On You

I put a spell on you because you're mine
You had better stop the things that you do
I ain't lying, no I ain't lying
I just can't stand it babe
The way you're always running round
I just can't stand it
The way you always put me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine, you're mine, you're mine
I put a spell on you because you're mine

You had better stop the things that you do
Lord knows I ain't lying, no no no I ain't lying
I just can't stand it
The way you always put me down
I just can't stand it
The way you always run round
I put a spell on you because you're mine, you're mine, you're mine

I love you, I love you, oh anyhow
I don't care if you don't want me, I'm yours anyhow
I put a spell on you because you're mine
Because you're mine, you're mine, because you're mine


I'll Never Let You Down

Saw you on the mountain an angel in disguise
Then when you descended to rescue my life
You made me believe in love and as long as love's around
I won't let you down
I'll never let you down

Taught me how to show it and it's deeper than the sea
The amount of love I give to you can't come close to what you give to me
I want the world to know it till I'm buried in the ground
I won't let you down
I'll never let you down
I won't let you down
I'll never let you down

Cos when I look in your eyes I'm hypnotized
And everything I thought I'd realized goes out the window
When you're by my side I'm in paradise

What would I do if I lost you
I'd hang my head in shame
Cos I know if I lost you
I'd be the one to blame
Don't ever let me lose you
Cos as long as loves around
I won't let you down
I'll never let you down
I won't let you down
I'll never let you down
I won't let you down


The Rose

Some say love it is a river that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower and you its only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes a chance
It's the one who won't be taken who can not seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snow
Lies a seed that with the suns love in spring becomes the rose


He's The King

He's seen all the changes
'Been going up and down
Had to rearrange it
But never lost his crown
Never was afraid of
Playing his last round
He is, he is the king

Look into his face
It never told you lies
Falling down from grace
Has been more than twice
But there's always one thing
You should realize
He is, he is the king

He is the king
No one else will be around
He is the king
Sometimes lost but now he's found
Without losing all, you won't touch sacred ground
He is, he is the king
He is the king

Loving her was easy
They were day and night
Trying to release her
Was a never ending fight
He had only one chance
Playing for her life
He is, he is the king

But there's always one thing
You should realize
He is, he is the king

He is the king
No one else will be around
He is the king
Sometimes lost but now he's found
Without losing all, you won't touch sacred ground
He is, he is the king

He is the king
No one else will be around
He is the king
Sometimes lost but now he's found
Without losing all, you won't touch sacred ground, yeah
He is, he is the king
He is the king


Silent Night

Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, Holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream of Heaven afar
Heavenly host sing alleluia
Christ the Saviour is born
Christ the Saviour is born

It's Over

Your baby doesn't love you anymore

Golden days before they end,
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you anymore.

Tender nights before they fly
And falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you anymore
It's over.

It breaks your heart in two
To know she's been untrue
But, oh what will you do?
When she says to you there's someone new
We're through, we're through.

It's over
It's over
It's over

All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep and say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore.

Setting suns before they fall
They come to you. That's all, that's all
But you'll see lonely sunsets after all.

It's over, It's over, it's over
It's over


I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one

Well yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for…


In My Life

There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed,
Some forever, not for better,
Some have gone and some remain.
All these places had their moments,
With lovers and friends I still can recall,
Some are dead and some are living,
In my life I've loved them all.
But of all these friends and lovers,
There is no one compared with you,
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new.
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more.
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more.
In my life I love you more.


Right Here Waiting

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times
That I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you


Learning To Fly

Well it started out
Down a dirty road.
Started out
All alone.

And the sun went down
As I crossed the hill.
And the town lit up,
And the world got still.

I'm learnin' to fly,
But I ain't got wings.
Comin' down
Is the hardest thing.

Well the good ol' days
May not return.
And the rocks might melt,
And the sea may burn.

I'm learnin' to fly,
But I ain't got wings.
Comin' down
Is the hardest thing.

Well some say life
Will beat you down,
And break your heart,
Steal your crown.

So it started out
For God-knows-where.
I guess I'll know
When I get there.

I'm learning to fly
Around the clouds.
What goes up
Must come down.

I'm learnin to fly
But I ain't got wings.
Comin' down
Is the hardest thing.

I'm learnin' to fly
Around the clouds.
But what goes up
Must come down.

I'm learnin' to fly.
I'm learnin' to fly.


Amazed

Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your arms all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh, it feels like the first time, every time
I want to spend the whole night in your eyes
Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you


Human Touch

You and me we were the pretenders
We let it all slip away
But In the end what you don't surrender
Well the world just strips away
There ain't no kindness in the face of strangers
Ain't gonna find no miracles here
Well you can wait on your blessings my darlin'
But I got a deal for you right here
I ain't lookin' for prayers or pity
I ain't comin' 'round searchin№ for a crutch
I just want someone to talk to
And just a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch
Ain't no mercy on the streets of this town
Ain't no bread from heavenly skies
Ain't nobody drawin' wine from this blood
It's just you and me tonight
Tell me in a world without pity
Do you think what I'm askin№s too much?
I just want something to hold on to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch
Oh and that feeling of safety you prize
Well it comes with a hard hard price
You can't shut off the risk and the pain
Without losin' the love that remains
We're all riders on this train
So you been broken and you been hurt
Show me somebody who ain't
Yeah I know I ain't nobody's bargain
But hell a little touchup
And a litte paint...
You might need somethin' to hold on to
When all the answers they don't amount to much
Somebody that you can just talk to
And a little of that human touch
Baby in a world without pity
Do you think what I'm askin's too much ?
I just want to feel you in my arms
And share a little of that human touch…


And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going

And I am telling you I'm not going
You're best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever go
No no there's no way
No no no no way
I'm living without you

I'm not living without you
I don't wanna be free

I'm staying
I'm staying
And you - and you
You're gonna love me

You're gonna love me

And I am telling you I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showing
There's just no way - there's no way

We're part of the same place
We're part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have the same mind

And time and time
We've had so much to share
No no no no no no
I'm not waking up tomorrow morning
And finding that there's nobody there

Darling there's no way
No no no no way
I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
You see there's just no way - there's no way

Tear down the mountains
Yell, scream and shout
You can say what you want
I'm not walking out

Stop all the rivers
Push, strike and kill
I'm not gonna leave you
There's no way I will

And I am telling you I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever ever go
No no no no way
No no no no way
I'm living without you
I'm not living without you

Not living without you
I don't wanna be free

I'm staying

I'm staying
And you - and you - and you
You're gonna love me

You're gonna love me
Yes you are

Love me - love me - love me
Love me - love me - love me

You're gonna love me


Against All Odds

How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain, and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, 'cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, 'cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, 'cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, 'cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds
And that's what I've got to face

Take a good look at me now, 'cause I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho

Just take a look at me now


Lean On Me

Sometimes, in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But, if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For, it won't be long
Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill
Those of your needs that you won't let show
You just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For, it won't be long
Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
You just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load
You have to bear, that you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load if you just call me
Call me if you need a friend
Call me…


Everybody Hurts

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
when you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like letting go, (hold on)
when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)


I Can't Make You Love Me

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't


Need Your Love So Bad

Need someone's hand to lead me through the night
I need someone's arms to hold and squeeze me tight
Now, when the night begins, whoa, I'm at an end
Because I need your love so bad

I need some lips to feel next to mine
Need someone to stand up - to stand up and tell me when I'm lyin'
And when the lights are low - and it's time to go
That's when I need your love so bad

So why don't you give it up, baby and bring it home to me
or write it on a piece of paper, woman - so it can be read to me
Tell me that you love me - and stop drivin' me mad
whoa, because I - I need your love so bad

Need a soft voice - just to talk to me at night
Don't want you to worry, baby
I know we can make everything alright
Listen to my plea, baby, come on bring it to me
'Cause I need - your love so bad
Baby, I need, I need - woman, I need your love so bad

Тексты песен альбома Simply Believe (2004)


Si Demain (Turn Around)

Je tourne en rond
Tu sais que quelques fois je me sens seule et perdue
Est ce que tu me reviendras
Je tourne en rond
Tu sais que quelque fois je me sens loin de toi
Dis est ce que tu te souviendras de moi
Je tourne en rond
Sur la terre entiere je me sens abandonnee
Dis est ce que tout ca va changer
Je tourne en rond
Pour habiter ma solitude de mon mieux
Moi qui ne sais qu'etre deux
Je tourne en rond sans toi
Tu sais que quelque fois j'ai peur de toi
Je tourne en rond sans toi
Tu sais que quelque fois j'ai peur de moi

Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of
Something wild
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a
Child in your arms
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to
Get out and cry
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the
Look in your eyes

Je tourne en rond sans toi
Tu sais que quelques fois j'ai peur de toi
Je tourne en rond sans toi
Tu sais que quelques fois j'ai peur de moi

Et j'ai tant besoin de toi
Et j'ai tant besoin de ta voix
Je veux tomber dans tes bras
Je voudrais marcher dans tes pas
On invente les regles du jeu
Quand on est tous les deux
Ensemble nous irons jusqu'au bout du chemin
Je tiendrai dans ton ombre
Si tu me prends la main
Retiens moi si je sombre je suis ta prisonniere
Si loin de notre monde j'ai la tete a l'envers
J'ai vraiment besoin de toi
Si demain commencait ce soir
Si demain commencait ce soir

Il etait une fois une femme amoureuse
Peut-etre un p'tit peu trop reveuse
Tant pis si j'en pleure tu as tous les droits sur mon coeur
Si demain commencait ce soir

Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart

Et j'ai tant besoin de toi
Et j'ai tant besoin de ta voix
Et je veux tomber dans tes bras
Je voudrais marcher dans tes pas
On invente les regles du jeu
Quand on est tous les deux

Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)

Retiens moi si je sombre je suis ta prisonniere
Si loin de notre monde j'ai la tete a l'envers

I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Si demain commencait ce soir

Il etait une fois une femme amoureuse
Peut etre un p'tit peu trop reveuse
Tant pis si j'en pleure tu as tous les droits sur mon coeur

Total eclipse of the heart
Si demain commencait ce soir
Regarde moi droit dans le coeur


Simply Believe

Well you should take it like a man
Take it just as I can
Don't complicate loves storyline baby
Just put you're hand in my hand
I'm gonna say it as it is
I may get hard to handle
Don't hesitate your waiting might make you late
Put your hand in my hand

Simply believe that I love you
Simply because it's true
Simply believe that I love you
Oh because I do

You ought to take it like a man
Take me just as I am
Reactivate the love that you once gave to me
Put you hand in my hand

I may be hard to handle
But don't hesitate you might be too late
You ought to take it like a man
Take me just as I am
Don't complicate loves storyline baby
Put you're hand in my hand


Si Tout S'Arrete (It's A Heartache)

Si tout's arrete, si pour vous tout s'arrete
Dis lui que je suis prete
Que je ne i'attends pas

Meme si tu i'aimes, meme si vraiment tu I'aimes
Partir ou Il m'entraine
Ne m'interesse pas

It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Love him till your heart breaks
Then he lets you down
A trop vouloir tout partager
Oh finit par s'eloigner
De tout
Il est plus sage qu'on abandonne
Qu'au bout du mompte je lui pardonne Tout

Se tout s'arrette si pour nous tout s'areete
Dis toi que tu es prete
Tu ne I'attends pas
Meme si je 'aime, meme si pourtant je I'aime
Patir ou Il t'entraine
Ne suffira pas

It ain't right with love to share
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on You

Si tout s'arrete, si pout nous tout s'arrete
Dis toi que tu es prete
Tu ne I'attends pas


Holding Out For A Hero

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night toss and turn and dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life


Back In My Arms

All that I know
Is that I want you here with me
To hold you, and never let go

All that I see
Is someone I love leavin me
And thats not the way, I wanted to be

I wanna hold you
And make you mine
I wanna keep you
For the rest of my life

I want you back in my arms
I want you here in my heart again
I want you back in my arms
That's where you belong
Back in my arms

I still wake up
Thinking that you're next to me
But an empty space is all I see

All I can do
Is let you know the way I feel
And I hope one day that you feel it too

If you need take some time
I'll be waiting
If you change your mind


Open Your Arms

We're gonna make our promises tomorrow
To forgive and forget the past
There have been some rocky roads to follow
But we made it back to love at last
Have you seen where we are coming from
Can you see the path that we can take
Let the feeling that you are falling take you away

You've got to open up your eyes
That's when you realise
Don't ask why let love take you away

We can say goodbye to pain and sorrow
Where gonna leave it in the past
The love we have strong and it's getting stronger
A love that was really made to last

You have been to where we're coming from
Can you see the path we could take
Let the feeling that you are falling take you away

Have you been to where we are coming from
Can you see your future today?
Let the feeling that you are falling take you away


Here She Comes

Shade begins to steal the light
Confusion throws another mystery
It's out for focus with eye
So now you wonder is this just a dream

Here she comes, here she comes
She's gonna cause a sensation now
And just between you and me
I think she'll soon have you temptation bound
Here she comes, here she comes
It's the moment you've been waiting for
See the face and see that smile
You've never seen the likes of her before

Suppose-who knows
She's not above suspicion
Is she-maybe
On some kind of secret mission-better listen

Somewhere-somehow
There's still some pieces missing
I sense-I feel
Trust my institution don't rush into your decision

Now here's a riddle in a rhyme
If she's the same how came she's different now
The same old eyes but bot the shine
You know you're certain but you're full of doubt

Here she comes, here she comes
She's gonna have you at her beck and call
So why refuse, yeah why contend
When all resistance is impossible
This lady's serious make no mistake
Face to face and eye to eye
She'll cast a spell that you may never break


Nobody Better

I guess that you could say experience is mine
It's the only way to know where to draw the line
On what you really want and what you feel ain't good enough

And when I get something good I never let it go
And you're the one I want, I got to let you know
You got it all, no one could ask for more

Nobody can have me like you do
Nobody can touch me like you do
When if comes to love there's nobody better than you

It's not the way you move
It's not the way you talk
It's not the way you look
Or the way you walk
It's something in you eyes
That makes me feel satisfied

And when you came into my life
You set my heart on fire
And if I said I'd loved before
You know I'd be a liar

I can't get enough
I must confess
I can't believe my luck
And I know it's gonna last


If You Were A Woman (And I Was A Man)

How's it feel to be a woman
How's it feel to be a man
Are we really that different
Tell me where you stand
I look at you, you look away
Why do you say we're night and day
I'd like to try another way
Oh baby for just one day

If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard to understand
That a heart's a heart and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man

How's it feel to be the hunter
How's it feel to be the prey
Is there really a reason
For this game we play
I look at you, you look away
Why do you say we're night and day
I'd like to try another day
Oh darling, just one day

If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard to understand
That a heart's a heart and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man

Hey, we're just two people trying to love
Oh but how, how can we love
With this wall between us, holding us back

If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard to understand
That a hearts a heart and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man


When I Close My Eyes

I never knew that I was standing in the rain
My mind was wandering back to you again
There's a thousand miles between us
Though it feels a thousand more
Cos tonight I sleep alone

I never realized how time could drag on
Never thought about how long the days are
And I never heard my heart beat
Till the first night you were gone
Then I know I was alone

When I close my eyes and I think of you
I don't feel so bad, I don't feel so blue
When I need you here, all I do
I close my yes
Then I'm with you

I could see miracles
They wouldn't mean a thing
I don't want memories
If you're not part of them
Any photograph without you
Would never grace my wall
I don't wanna stand alone

Then I see you there
And I visualize, both of us touching, both of us touching
Then I hold you here
Can feel you now, I'm lost in the moment, lost in the moment
And I can't let go cos I wont let go
I will keep holding, I will keep holding
When I clear my yes, to wipe away the tears
Everything shatters, everything's gone

And I never heard my heart beat, till the first night you were gone
I never felt so lonely, I didn't want to be alone


It's In The Back Of My Mind

I don't know what I'm thinking
I don't know why I'm taking you back
After all the heartache
I ought to have my head looked at

Tell me why you cheated
Don't try to pass the blame on me
I gave you all you needed
And still you have to play the field

Oh yes I forgive you
But I wont to forget
I want to believe you
But no matter how hard I try

It's in the back of my mind
All the time
It's in the way that you look my love
And Threw it aside
Always in the back of my mind

Can you give me one good reason
Why I should be taking you back
After all this heartache
Oh I gotta get my head looked at

Always in the back of my mind
All the time


I Want You

Oh make me feel this way
Oh let me make you feel this way
No more talking night and day
C'mon let me make you feel this way
The kind of loving' to make you stay
You've got the kind of style it takes
To make me tremble and make me shake
Gotta here you whisper in my ear
It takes me to another Galaxy
I've been around the world and finally I've found love
And now I aint gonna let you go
Don't run for cover don't be my lover

I want you baby I want to make it feel right
I want you baby I want you every night

Oh let me feel this way
No more talking night and day
C'mon let me make you feel this way
The kind of loving' to make you stay
I'm not the kind of girl to say
I'll stay with you baby for ever and a day
But you know sweet baby I'll be with you
Just as long as it is good
We'll make it through

I've been around the world and finally I've found love
And I aint gonna let you go
Don't run for cover come be my lover

I want you baby I want to make it feel right
I want you baby I want you every night
I want you baby I want to make it feel right
I want you baby I want you every night

I want you baby I want to make it feel right
I want you baby I want you every night

I want you baby I want to make it feel right
I want you baby I want you every night


Darlin'

Darlin'
I'm feeling pretty lonesome
I'd call you on the phone some
But I don't have a dime
Darlin' you're so far behind me
Tomorrow's gonna find me
Further dwon the line.

Takin' me some paper
Pencil in my hand
I'm gonna write.

Darlin' you know I feel the cold nights
Thinking of the old nights
Spent along with you.
Darlikn' the fear is in my eye now
Knowing I can try now
To make it back to you.

Darlin'
Love you more than ever
Wish we were together
Darlin' of mine

Darlin'
I'm feeling pretty lonesome
............
A good boy......
You can see a mountain here comes
Bulldozer......


All Night To Know You

I think time and motion just stood still
I feel like the hours are there to kill
Now for the first time in my life

I am right where I wanna be
I'm closing the door on what I used to be
Now for the first time in my life

I have to hold on
The feelings too strong
I shake like a leaf
I tremble inside

It's gonna take, all night to know
All night to know, all night to know you well
It's gonna take, all night to know you
All night to know you, all night to know you

Inside the room it's cold and dark
The nighttime won't sleep till we give our hearts
Now for the first time in my life

I have to hold on
The feelings too strong
I shake like a leaf
I tremble inside

It's gonna take, all night to know
All night to know ,all night to know you well
It's gonna take, all night to know you
All night to know you, all night to know you

All night to know you

It's gonna take, all night to know
All night to know, all night to know you well
It's gonna take, all night to know you
All night to know you, all night to know you


Driving Me Wild

A long night
Cutting through the desert heat
The sun was rising
The day was rising the day was standing on it's feet
I saw a long shadow snakin' down
The dusty road side
To where you were standing
Waiting for the big ride

A vision in black no holding back
I pulled in along side
Drove till night falling light
The time has come to pay the price

You're driving me wild
Driving me wild
You turn me upside down
Turn me around
You make feel so good
You're driving me wild

Everyone loves a mystery
Everyone loves to dream
A real cliff hanger
A real good thriller
But how about love for real

There's a god in the sky
Coz we made it all night
The warm river flowing inside
But the river ran dry
As day went by
He couldn't wait to say goodbye

You're driving me wild
Driving me wild
You turn me upside down
Turn me around
You make me feel so good
You're driving me wild

Everyone loves a mystery

You're driving me wild
Driving me wild

[Romantic Warrior]

Тексты песен альблма Wings (2005)


Louise

I watched you move - so self assured
So merciless - so quiet
You chose your prey - eyes cold and grey
You feel compelled - to try it
A panther's walk - a panther's talk
A million men - still buy it
Any woman could see -
What you were trying to do - to me

LOUISE can't see the wood for the trees
Why don't you leave well alone
When love's in its home
Woman to Woman - oh, please

You're dressed to kill - you always will
Need heads to keep on turning
Love's not skin deep - it's hard to keep
It's what you're never learning
Any woman could see -
What you were trying to do to me

LOUISE can't see the wood for the trees
Why don't you leave well alone
When love's in its home
Woman to Woman - oh, please

LOUISE - Woman to woman - oh, please
Leave him alone -
Find a love of your own
Don't bring my world - to its knees

Oh no no no no no no no

LOUISE can't see the wood for the trees
Why don't you leave well alone
When love's in its home
Woman to Woman - Oh, please

LOUISE - Woman to woman - oh, please
Leave him alone -
Find a love of your own
Don't bring my world - to its knees

LOUISE can't see the wood for the trees
Why don't you leave well alone
When love's in its home
Woman to Woman - Oh, please

LOUISE - Woman to woman - oh, please
Leave him alone -
Find a love of your own
Oh, I'm begging you please - to its knees


Run Run Run

Watched you when you were walking away
I've got so many things I could say
I have my mind running wild
You'd better run like a child

I remember when I got back home
We were talking on the telephone
And in your point of view
There was no more you could do

I've heard promises
I don't really care for the way that it is
I've got love in my soul
I can trust in, hope in, believe in myself

Run run run and run 'til I've won
I have never thought life owes me one
I'm gonna run run run - I've only just begun
I'm gonna go and get me some

I don't think I have a thing to prove
But life is best when you're on the move and
Sing
And I've kept my own style
Oh, oh, stayed versatile

I've heard promises
I don't really care for the way that it is
I've got love in my soul
I can trust in, hope in, believe in myself

I said run run run, and run 'til I've won
I have never thought life owes me one
I'm gonna run run run - I've only just begun
I am gonna go and get me some

I will win and persue
And I'm not going to stop 'til I do
I've got love in my soul
I can trust in, hope in, believe in myself

Run run run and run 'til I've won
I have never thought life owes me one
I'm gonna run run run - I've only just begun
I am gonna go and get me some

Wings

You came from nowhere
And pushed back the sky
I didn't want to go there
I preferred to deny

I thought - love was for dreamers
Angels and fools
I'd had my fill of schemers
Life was so cruel.....

Then you made me fly
You gave me wings
Made me wanna try - a thousand things
That I thought - I'd never do
Till I caught - first sight of you

I was picking up the pieces
Of a so-called broken heart
Then you proved the best release is
A "brand new start"

Ah, 'cos you make me fly
You give me wings
You send me high - above all those things
That I thought - would keep me down
But with these wings - I'm off the ground

Funny how we don't know - what's to come -
Ooh yeah
Just when we think the party's over -
You know, the party's just begun

'Cos you made me fly
You gave me wings
Made me wanna try - a thousand things
That I thought - ooo - I'd never do
Till I caught - first sight of you

'Cos you make me fly
You give me wings
You send me high - above all those things
That I thought - would keep me down
But with these wings - I'm off the ground

Then you made me fly
You gave me wings
Made me wanna try - a thousand things
That I thought - I'd never do
Till I caught - first sight of you

'Cos you make me fly
You give me wings
You send me high - above all those things
That I thought - would keep me down
But with these wings - I'm off the ground


Driving Me Crazy

Baby, I don't understand
What I feel holdin' your hand
How I'm wantin' you!
What else, then, can I do?

Though I know this love just can't be right
I dream about your body day and night

Yeah, holdin' me so tight

Drivin' me crazy now
Need to keep you around
This feeling that I've found
Knocks my feet off the ground
Drivin' me crazy now
Oh, This love won't let me be
It's deep inside of me
This is our destiny

Best things always come unplanned
When I saw you I was damned
Your soul spoke to me
And heard my silent plea

Aching for your touch always sublime
Wanna see you baby, one more time

And maybe I'll be fine

Drivin' me crazy now
Need to keep you around
This feeling that I've found
Knocks my feet off the ground
Drivin' me crazy now
Oh, this love won't let me be
It's deep inside of me
This is our destiny

And I know this love can not be wrong
When I'm with you startin' to belong

I feel it so strong

Drivin' me crazy now
Got to keep it untold
Our story will unfold
Passion so uncontrolled
Drivin' me crazy now
Although we've lived different lives
I know our love will survive
And harmony will thrive

Drivin' me crazy now
Need to keep you around
This feeling that I've found
Knocks my feet off the ground
Drivin' me crazy now
This love won't let me be
It's deep inside of me
This is our destiny


Crying Berlin

This German morning of winter grey and street lights
The mist is warning - the day to wait it's turn
The city stumbles - to find the boots in bedrooms
A new wife wonders - why must he go so soon

She's crying in Berlin -
Love is flying from Berlin
She's been trying hard to fight her fears
But she knows her tears - will win

A sip of coffee - he sends a smile to greet her
Just for a second - she forgets what lovers have to learn
An empty window - an empty bed - an empty chair
She curses history - then hides her face behind her hair

And she's crying in Berlin
Her world is flying from Berlin
She's been trying hard to force a smile -
Will war's denial ever end
She's crying in Berlin
Her world is dying in Berlin
She's been trying hard to fight her fears
But she knows her tears - will win

SHE'S CRYING IN BERLIN

A darkened doorway - an empty street - an empty heart
There is no sure way - to know if they will stay apart
He dissapears then - a waving hand she won't forget
One thing is certain - she will always see his silhouette
WHEN SHE'S CRYING IN BERLIN
WHEN SHE'S CRYING IN BERLIN
When she's trying hard to fight her fears
She'll fight her tears - and win

SHE'S CRYING IN BERLIN
THERE'S NO DENYING - IT'S A SIN - IT'S A SIN

When the cities burn - love waits its turn -
For her and him

CRYING IN BERLIN - CRYING IN BERLIN

She's been trying hard to force a smile
Will war's denial - ever end

CRYING IN BERLIN

When the cities burn - love waits its turn - for her and him

Crying in Berlin - Crying in Berlin


Stand Up

Some days you don't understand
All the world looks upside down
When you're trying to be strong
Nothing ever falls in place

Don't give up and let your shadows swallow up your mind
No, that's no way to treat yourself - just leave your doubts behind

Stand up - for what you're fightin' for
Stand up - just don't take anymore
Stand up - for what you're fightin' for my friends
Stand up - for what you're fightin' for
Stand up - some things you can't ignore
Stand Proud - for what your fightin' for my friends
Oh, oh!

When accusations put you down
And people talk behind your back
Turn your head and walk away
Never let them see you frown

Don't give up and let your shadows swallow up your mind
No, that's no way to treat yourself - just leave your doubts behind

Stand up - for what you're fightin' for
Stand up - just don't take anymore
Stand up - for what you're fightin' for my friends
Stand up - for what you're fightin' for
Stand up - some things you can't ignore
Stand Proud - for what your fightin' for my friends

Don't give up and let your shadows swallow up your mind
No, that's no way to treat yourself - just leave your doubts behind

Stand up - for what you're fightin' for
Stand up - just don't take anymore
Stand up - for what you're fightin' for my friends
Stand up - for what you're fightin' for
Stand up - some things you can't ignore
Stand Proud - for what your fightin' for my friends

Stand up - for what you're fightin' for
Stand up - just don't take anymore
Stand up - for what you're fightin' for my friends
Stand up - for what you're fightin' for
Stand up - some things you can't ignore
Stand Proud - for what your fightin' for my friends

Stand up
Stand up
Stand proud
Stand up


All I Need Is Love

There's nothing wrong
Wrong with me
I'm just a little down and out
Don't need a drug to rescue me
That's something I can live without

One day I'm up, the next I'm down
One day you're here, the next you're gone
And I'm just a little bit
I'm just a little bit lonely

All I need is love
And I'm gonna pull through
All I need is love
To shake off the blues
I need your sweet, sweet love
To get me on my feet
Baby, you're love is all I need

Theres no horizon
That I can see
There is no light in the dark
There's no one here
Here but me
And the longing in my heart


Hold Out Your Heart

I'm imagining a letter
I would write to you
How it might make me feel better
To get this message through

I would put it down so clearly
In black and white
Just how much I need you really
And just how much I might

Compromise - to make - us work
Yeah, compromise - to ease
All this hurt

Hold out your heart
(and) I will take it
Don't you make it
Hard on us

Hold out your heart
We can do it
We can get through it
Without a fuss

'Cos all we need is - communication
Connecting eye to eye
And station to station

And I know that when you're reading
These words from me
You'll get a grip on why I'm pleading
For your hard head to see

That all we need is - communication
Seeing eye to eye
And station to station

Hold out your heart
I will accept it
You know, you have kept it
Hidden for too long

Hold out your heart
Don't be scared now
To win we must dare - now
We can't go wrong

Hold out your heart
I will take it
Don't you make it
Hard on us

Hold out your heart
We can do it
We can get through it
Without a fuss


I'll Stand By You

From the very first time - you said a word
I knew right then - I liked what I heard
You made good sense - you thought like me
And that's why - it's gotta be

It's just something - that you can't explain
No rhyme or reason - just a spark and a flame
It's whats inside - that we can't control
It's where words fail, but you just know

And I don't know what it is
And I don't know why
But sometimes when we're talking
I think I can fly
I don't know how it works
If there's a wrong or right
I believe in what I see and feel - here inside

Through thick and thin
I'll stand by you
Through everything
I'll stand by you
Through all the pain and laughter
Now and ever after
Through thick and thin I'll stand by you

Friends are friends - some near or far
It's only once in awhile - someone touches your heart
And when something's right - and you feel so strong
It's like coming home - yeah, you know you belong

And I don't know what it is
And I don't know why
Something feels familiar
Deep down inside
I don't know how it works
Or who makes the rules
I only know the way I feel
When I'm here with you

Through thick or thin, I'll stand by you
Through everything, I'll stand by you

Through thick and thin, I'll stand by you
Through everything, I'll stand by you
Through all the pain and laughter
Now and ever after
Through thick and thin I'll stand by you
Through all the pain and laughter
Now and ever after
Through thick and thin I'll stand by you

The Streets Of Stone

On these streets of stone
You might see her walking
All the time alone
She just got tired of talking

As she passes by, you might just get lucky
If you catch her eye
You might see a smile

In a world gone quite mad
She is quietly laughing
For all the good times she's had
Most of us don't get near

She has danced with them all
The short and the tall
The rich - and the famous ones
The poor - and the nameless ones

On these streets of stone
You might hear her singing
All the time alone
It's just her way of bringing

Her past to the fore
She remembers it all
When they shouted "Encore"
Then the curtain did fall

She has sung for them all
In theaters and halls
The rich - and the famous ones
The poor - and the blameless ones

On these streets of stone
You might see her walking
All the time alone
She's just got tired - of talking


Il Est Mon Homme (Louise)

Rien ne me prouve
Ce que j'eprouve
Quand je devine
Dans ton jeu

To le desir
Tout le plaisir
Que tu inspires
Dans ses yeux

Il est tout ce que je suis
Je ne peux pas vivre sans lui

Louise
Je t'en prie encoute moi
Il est mon homme
Rien n'y personne
Ne l'eloignera de moi

Louise
Je t'en prie n'insiste pas
Ne comments pas cette faute
Il est mon homme
Je ne te l'abandonnerai pas

You're dressed to kill
You always will
Need heads to keep on turning

Love's not skin deep
It's hard to keep
It's what you're never learning

Any woman could see
What you were trying to do to me

Louise
Je t'en prie encoute moi
Why don't you leave well alone
When love's in its home
Woman to woman - oh, please

Louise
Je t'en prie n'insiste pas
Leave him alone
Find a love of your own
Don't bring my world to its knees

Louise
Je t'en prie n'insiste pas
Leave him alone
Rien n'y personne
Ne l'eloignera de moi

Louise
Je t'en prie encoute moi
Why don't you leave him alone
Find a love on your own
Ohh, I'm begging you please


I Won't Look Back

One time bitten, two times shy
It was written there - in letters ten feet high
That this woman loves - that man
Even the biggest fool - could understand

But then your blue eyes turned grey
You spoke a lot - but had nothing to say

So
I won't look back
I won't look back
You had all of me there for the taking
But men like you
Can't help just brea-
King
Down the roses
And trampling - them flat

One time bitten - two times shy
It's true I was smitten then, and you know why
You charmed me off my feet
Using your beautiful smile, so bittersweet

But then your blue eyes turned grey
You spoke so much, but had nothing to say
So
I won't look back
I won't look back
Even though I know you really tried to love me
It was not enough you simply had to shove me
In a corner babe, and hey - I don't want that

I gave you my best, but you blew it
You threw it back at me
You can't have the rest
'Cos that's Private Property

No I won't look back
I won't look back
When I think I see you in the distance
I call on all of my resistance
And tell myself - hey girl - don't you crack
