Why do I have these thoughts go through my head
Do they come out of the air
Suspicion always washes over me like a disease
I cannot share I can't ignore the way you treated me sometimes
So go ahead and convince me otherwise
[Chorus]
Tell me it's okay, that everything's fine
Show me that it's possible not to cry, swear that you'll
Never leave and you'd rather die than hurt me
Just tell me that everything's gonna be fine
Give me a reason why I should stay
One I won't regret in the end
This time say something I can believe
Something you haven't used yet
I can't ignore the way you treated me sometime
So go ahead and convince me otherwise
[Chorus]
So many empty words were spoken here today
So many promises I'd like to dream away
Like verses whispered in some ancient ritual
That accusations fly, but we are no closer to the truth
[Instrumental]
[Chorus 2x]

I remember when you loved me
I remember the way it used to be
Then you hurt me and I hurt you
We were fools, as foolish as fools can be
Even if you go I will still remain
[Chorus]
Here you make me bleed again
When I'm already drownin'
And out here where the air is thing
There's just no mercy
Maybe we could try again
Put the past behind us
And we'd be ready to pretend
And say we're sorry
I remember when you loved me
I remember how good it used to feel
Then we let it just slip away
We were dreamers
Pretending it wasn't real
Even if you go I will still remain
I will wait for you until you return
Even if you go I will still remain
[Chorus]
You'll miss me yes, you will
You won't know how much €˜til I'm gone
Like the sweet memory of something you used to love
That can't be found that's not around
Even if you go I will still remain here
You make me bleed again
When I'm already drownin'
And out here where the air is thin
There's just no mercy
Maybe we could start again
Put the past behind us
And we'd be ready to pretend
And say we're sorry€
And say we're sorry now

I've seen your picture in the paper
On the front page of magazines
I've pulled the trigger right at you
On billboards and movie screens
When I talk, it's to myself
Cause I know your kind, you're like everyone else
Maybe it'll work itself out in time, before I lose my mind
You, You're Out-A-Touch
All alone in a danger zone, and I think too much
Your Out-A-Touch
I keep your letters by the mirror
You're the subject of every dream
You're not so invincible, and I'm not what I might seem
When I look, it's in your eyes
And I know your look, you can hypnotize
How long does it have to last like this, a kodachrome kiss
You, You're Out-A-Touch
All alone in a danger zone, and I think too much
You, You're Out-A-Touch
You're in my sight all through the night
And I see too much
Your Out-A-Touch
Can't you see I'm obsessed
I'd do anything, I'm possessed
I'm in a constant rage with your luminary stage
I need you, I need you
I've seen your picture in the paper
On the front page of magazines
I've pulled the trigger right at you
On billboards and movie screens
When I look, it's in your eyes
And I know your look, you can hypnotize
How long does it have to last like this, a kodachrome kiss
You, You're Out-A-Touch
All alone in a danger zone, and I think too much
Your Out-A-Touch
I need you (7 times)

Never could say what I wanna say
Never could do what I wanna do
Never could believe you, if it's true
Never could, never would, you make it so hard
I Never Wanna Leave You
I'm always right, you're never wrong
We change the tune but not the song
Over and Over
Till it's done, it's never done, never done
You make it so hard
Never Wanna Leave You
I Never Wanna Leave You
Movin' together, comin' apart
You're what I need, I'm what you want
Never could refuse you from the start
Never could, never would, never could
You make it so hard
Never could say what I wanna say
Never could do what I wanna do
Never could believe you, if it's true
Never could, never would, you make it so hard
I Never Wanna Leave You
I Never Wanna Leave You
I Never Wanna Leave You
Never Wanna Leave You
I Never Wanna Leave You
I Never Wanna Leave You
I Never Wanna Leave You
I Never Wanna Leave You
I Never Wanna Leave You
I Never Wanna Leave You
I Never Wanna Leave You
I Never Wanna Leave You
I Never Wanna

Can you see the view? Can you feel the heat?
I'm savin' no time for you, no time for me
You're up on the news, I'm wild in the streets
I'm under the lights, tonight I won't have to hide the need
But you got love in its place
In its own time and space
You got love in its place in your
Little Paradise
You got fashion secure in your own little world
Diamonds are forever for Hollywood girls
No need to cover, no reason to lie
Life without your Maserati is grounds for suicide
But you got love in its place
In its own time and space
You got love in its place in your
Little Paradise
Little Paradise
You got love in its place
In its own time and space
You got love in its place in your
You got love in its place
In its own time and space
You got love in its place in your
Little Paradise
Little Paradise
Little Paradise
Little Paradise
Little Paradise
Little Paradise

Little Paradise (Fading Out)

JIMMY SAYS
Pat Benatar
Written by: David Buskin & Abra Bigham
From the album "Free To Be A Family" (1988)
Jimmy says, "Do this.."
Jimmy says, "Do this.."
I say, "I don't want to!"
Jimmy says, "Do this.."
Jimmy says, "Do this.."
I say, "I don't want to!"
Trying to make up my own mind
Got my own direction to find!
Yeah, I know Jimmy's cool and everyone at school
Usually does what Jimmy does, without thinking - just because
Jimmy says, "Try this.."
Jimmy says, "Try this.."
I say, "I don't need it!"
Jimmy says, "Try this.."
Jimmy says, "Try this.."
I say, "I don't need it!"
Sometimes it's just no fun
To feel like you're the only one
Who doesn't go along, when things seem wrong
But they're not my friends if they don't see
That I don't like people pushing me!
Hey man, what's the matter with you?
Oh, come on! Everybody's going!
Chicken!
Nobody's gonna know!
What are you, scared?
Everybody does it! Come on!
I might hang out with Jim
But I don't need to be just like him
Got to listen to myself
Cause you can't let someone else
Always make your move for you!
Got to find out what you want to do!
Jimmy says, "Try this.."
Come on and try this!
I say, "I don't need it!"
Jimmy says, "Come on, try this.."
I say, "I don't need it!"
Oh Jimmy, Jimmy
Song lyrics have not been checked for accuracy

A breathless drive on a downtown street
Motorbike ride in the mid-day heat
The dust that hung from the desert skies
Run, though we run it still burned our eyes
Oh, yes we can walk on the wild, wild side of life
And our movements traced by a stranger close by your side
And in the shadows of a promise, you can take my hand
And show me the way to understand
Chorus:
So If You Think You Know How To Love Me
And you think you know what I need
And if you really, really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way
Yes, If You Think You Know How To Love Me
And you think you can stand by me
And if you really, really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way
A reckless night in a nameless town
And we moved out of sight, with a silent sound
A beach that wept with deserted waves
That's where we slept, knowing we'd be safe
Now you may think you can walk on the wild, wild side with me
But there's a lot I can learn, and a lot that I've yet to see
You know you've got my life lying in your hands
It's up to you to make me understand
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
So If You Think You Know How To Love Me
And you think you know what I need
And if you really, really want me to stay
You've got to lead the way

Heartbreaker
Pat Benatar
Words & Music: G. Gill - C. Wade
Your love is like a tidal wave, spinnin' over my head
You drown me in your promises, better left unsaid
You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasies
The effects of a winner, and you know that you were born to be
You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker, love-taker, don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker, love-taker, don't you mess around, no, no, no
Your love has set my soul on fire, burnin' outta control
You taught me the ways of desire, now it's takin' its toll
You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasies
The effects of a winner, and you know that you were born to be
You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker, love-taker, don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker, love-taker, don't you mess around, no, no, no

I heard you say you're feelin' like a change now
Maybe, baby this could be arranged now
But I warn you that no exotic scenery
Will solve your problems or make you feel easy
You say you're happy, but I see apprehension
That little laugh of yours doesn't hide the tension
The precious book you clutch so tightly in your hands
Won't help you sleep at night, won't iron out your plans
You gotta Fight It Out with your heart
You got to Fight It, though it tears you apart
You got to Fight It Out, my friend
You got to do it for yourself
You got to say when
You ask advice, then resent my observations
If I didn't care, then I wouldn't make them
Can't change the past, so why let it haunt you
Can paint the future, but first you have to want to
You gotta Fight It Out with your heart
You got to Fight It, though it tears you apart
You got to Fight It Out, my friend
You got to do it for yourself
You got to say when
I can see how much you hurt inside
I know all about the tears you hide
You gotta Fight It Out with your heart
You got to Fight It, though it tears you apart
You got to Fight It Out, my friend
You gotta Fight It Out with your heart
You got to Fight It, though it tears you apart
You got to Fight It Out, my friend
You know that the lonely pay a price for love in the end
You know that the lonely pay a price for love in the end
It's always the lonely who pay a price for love in the end
Written by: Neil Geraldo & Billy Steinberg

People like to shake you up and put you down
Run you all around, drive you crazy
Like to steal the roses right out of your bed
Get inside your head, drive you crazy
Never really knew what love could be, yeh
Never really thought about you and me, yeh
Crazy - I really wanna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
Crazy - I really wanna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
Everybody tells you how you ought to be
What they think they see, they can't teach you, no
Big world on your shoulder, it don't mean a thing
If that song they sing, hey - don't reach you
Never really knew what love could be, yeh
Only want to think about you and me, yeh
Crazy - I really wanna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
Crazy - I really wanna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
Crazy, Crazy
Hey Baby, Baby, oh, oh, oh
Crazy, Crazy, Crazy
Crazy - I really wanna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
Feel like I'm gonna go crazy
Crazy - feel like I'm gonna go crazy

It's Christmas in America
There's carols in the air
The snow falling on the ground
There's holly everywhere
The people they're all different too
Their troubles put aside
They smile a little brighter
It seems at Christmas time
It's Christmas in America
Let the angels sing
It's Christmas in America
Let freedom ring
Let peace resound throughout the world
Especially on this day
It's Christmas in America
God bless the USA
The kids get so excited
Preparing for the day
Their letters to Santa have all been sent
The cookies have been baked
The creche under the Christmas tree
Awaits the baby child
It seems to mean so much more this year
Than it has in a while
Coz It's Christmas in America
Let the angels sing
It's Christmas in America
Let freedom ring
Let peace resound throughout the world
Especially on this day
It's Christmas in America
God bless the USA
So keep your babies close tonight
Hug your husband, kiss your wife
Be thankful for this way of life,
We're fortunate to share
And not forget the ones we've lost
Their memory lives on in our hearts
They'll be forever in our thoughts
And always in our prayers
Unto this world a child is born
His gift was meant for everyone
The light of peace shines on and on
And never fades away
America, America indivisible we are
One nation under God
And that will never change
Coz It's Christmas in America
Let the angels sing
It's Christmas in America
Let freedom ring
Let peace resound throughout the world
Especially on this day
It's Christmas in America
God bless the USA
It's Christmas in America
God bless the USA

Livin' with my eyes closed, goin' day to day
I never knew the difference, I never cared either way
Lookin' for a reason, searchin' for a sign
Reachin' out with both hands, I gotta feel the kick inside
All Fired Up
Now I believe there comes a time
All Fired Up
When everything just falls in line
All Fired Up
We live an' learn from our mistakes
All Fired Up, Fired Up, Fired Up - Hey
Ain't nobody livin', in a perfect world
Everybody's out there, cryin' to be heard
Now I got a new fire, burnin' in my eyes
Lightin' up the darkness, movin' like a meteorite
Chorus:
All Fired Up
Now I believe there comes a time
All Fired Up
When everything just falls in line
All Fired Up
We live an' learn from our mistakes
All Fired Up, Fired Up, Fired Up
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe

Your love's contagious, one kiss is dangerous
But I have more to risk, than you to lose
I feel passion growing
I know that love is only just one inch away, from striking us
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
When we get tired, and watch the summer fade away
Will you think of romance, what will we do?
Is there a place where we can go?
Where time stands still for those who know?
Till eternity we'll fulfill our desires
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
I never planned to win the race
But you convinced me face to face
There was never a chance of losing at all
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
We Live For Love
We Live For Love

We paint this town in shades of gray
And the walls look high 'til you step away
Ain't it funny how you can look around
And never see the truth 'til it knocks you down
Never see the light 'til your - Tradin' Down
Work hard labor for your daily bread
While the golden dream spins around your head
Time gets money. money buys you time
For the foolish things that you left behind
Workin', workin' overtime
And Tradin' Down
It's gonna be alright, he said
It's gonna be alright
There's nothing that's here for us
That we won't mind missin'
Never see the light 'til your - Tradin' Down
There's no future for the workin' man
See him growin' old in the promised land
Nothin' to show for the wasted years
But a heart full of hollow and a taste of tears
Pushin' Monday to the wall and
Tradin Down...

Anger shakes the house of cards
Loving cup upon the bars
We bend the truth to help us through the night
Tempers thrown against the wall
Shattered like an empty glass
Nothin' can save us from our own selves tonight
Anger is a might sword
Vengeance is our own reward
Love goes bling one eye at a time
Gonna cut away from the ties that bind
Hey, Hey
There's an edge within my voice
Helps me win when I should lose
We pick and choose our weapons carefully
Words are twisted like a fist
Behind our backs no slight of hand
No battle ever ended in a kiss
Anger is a might sword
Vengeance is our own reward
Love goes bling one eye at a time
Gonna cut away from the ties that bind
Hey, Hey
Anger shakes the house of cards
Loving cup upon the bars
We bend the truth to help us through the night
Anger is a might sword
Vengeance is our own reward
Love goes bling one eye at a time
Gonna cut away from the ties that bind

You've been set up one too many times
The perfect victim for the perfect crime
You left yourself wide open to the pain
So close your eyes now
You're out walkin' in the rain
You've got a burning desire to be The Victim
You're bleeding from the soul
You're hurting from the heart
Things you can't be told are gonna tear you apart
Your choice of lovers, never very bright
Your father worried, but even he gave up the fight
You always think their hearts are made of gold
And you're the savior, to coax the warmth out of the cold
You've got a burning desire to be The Victim
You're bleeding from the soul
You're hurting from the heart
Things you can't be told are gonna tear you apart
Cause you're The Victim
Break the pattern, you've gotta break away
Break the pattern before it gets too late
You've got a burning desire to be The Victim
You're bleeding from the soul
You're hurting from the heart
Things you're never told are gonna tear you apart
Cause you're The Victim

Tell me why the stars do shine
Tell me why the ivy twines
Tell me why the sky's so blue
And then I'll tell you just why I love you
Because God made the stars to shine
Because God made the ivy twine
Because God made the sky's so blue
Because God made you, that's why I love you
Tell me why the stars do shine
Tell me why the ivy twines
Because God made the sky's so blue
Because God made you, that's why I love you
From the album ";For Our Children";

I'm the one you put all your stories on
She's the one, you keep it a secret from
She believes you, just like I did at the start
When you wrapped up my heart, and played with my emotions
Chorus:
Tell It To Her
Cause I don't want to hear it
Tell It To Her
I know why she would
There's a fool born every minute
When you're in it, it feels so good
Why don't you Tell It To Her
She don't know the darker side of you
She don't know what your love will put her through
Your sweet talkin' makes her feel so safe and sure
But that won't change what you are
And I'm the one who knows it
(Chorus)
Cause I don't want to hear it
Tell It To Her
I know why she would
There's a fool born every minute
When you're in it, it feels so good
You're the one who had it all and wanted more
But you can't do it to me anymore
(Chorus)
Cause I don't want to hear it
Tell It To Her
I don't want to hear it
Tell It To Her
Go on and Tell It To Her
Tell It To Her
There's a fool born every minute
Tell It To Her
Go on and Tell It To Her
Tell It To Her

I had it with the same old routine
I had it with the same old faces, places
Everynight, in my life
I started feeling washed up, washed out
Hung up, wrung out, left to dry out
Everynight
But I know
Yeah, I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh, I, I can almost hear you callin'
I'm Looking For A Stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight
I'm tired of the same old -
Hello baby, how ya doun'? Come here often?";
Where have you been all my life?";
Everynight
But I know
That someday, somewhere
I'll turn around and you'll be there
Ooo.., In my life
Everynight
But I know
Yeah, I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh, I, I can almost hear you callin'
I'm Looking For A Stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight
I'm Looking For A Stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight

Sweet Melissa, I often pray for you
I hope your suffering was brief
I hope the angels that watch over all little children
Came for you and took you someplace beautiful and sweet
Aahh..
Suffer The Little Children
Dear Melissa, I often think of you
Everytime I hold my baby in my arms
I say a prayer for your mama and daddy too
I know they miss you, miss you since you're gone
Suffer The Little Children
At the hands of evil men
No baby dolls, no teddy bears
No lullabies for them
Every mother's nightmare
Will it ever end
Suffer The Little Children
At the hands of evil men
You who done the deed better do some prayin' too
Better hope that God's forgivin' like they say
Cause somewhere, somebody keeps a list
Of the evils that men do
An' your name's right up there
I heard `em say
Aahh..
Suffer The Little Children
At the hands of evil men
No baby dolls, no teddy bears
No lullabies for them
Every mother's nightmare
Will it ever end
Suffer The Little Children
At the hands of evil men

He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter, he used to matter
Someone cared if he lived or died
Someone held him in their arms - when he cried
And when he hurt, someone kept the world away
Someone loved him, someone loved him
He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter, he used to matter
He used to matter
That was then, that was so long ago
Long before they came and took his soul
Long before he bacame invisible
That was when, he wasn't human garbage then
He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter, he used to matter
He used to matter
He used to be somebody's baby

We say I love you and we're So Sincere
I look in your eyes and it becomes quite clear
You want what I want, you need what I need
When I turn to leave
You plead, and plead, and plead, and plead, and plead
We're So Sincere
We're So Sincere
We're So Sincere
We're So Sincere
Now I'm sure I'm right and I'm So Sincere
You convince me I'm wrong with a single tear
You want me so badly, you can't live without me
When I turn to leave
You bleed, and bleed, and bleed, and plead, and plead
We're So Sincere
We're So Sincere
We're So Sincere
We're So Sincere
We're livin' so fast we're not living at all
Two sparrows tied together will always fall
We know we love each other so there's nothin' to prove
But I'm gonna smother if somebody don't move
We're So Sincere
We're So Sincere
We're So Sincere
We're So Sincere

They say the hand is quicker than the eye
And two wrongs don't make a right
I feel lightning when you walk by
You got the power to take me higher, yeh
Hear me when I say
Rise
See a better day
Come on
They say the power of love is to blame
Time stops when I speak your name
Now and forever you are the one
Love-light shining on and on and on
Rise
Hear me when I say
Come on, yeh
Rise
See a better day
Come on, yeh, yeh
They say the power of love is like the sun
Shining down on everyone
Hey, don't be frightened by what you feel
You got to know that the power of love is real
Hear me when I say
Rise
See a better day
Come on
Can you feel the power of love

We will be the forgotten ones
They will shake their heads and pity us
We who sacrificed our sons and daughters
With the sweet taste of victory on our lips
They will cry, but their tears will come too late
There is no redemption for the ones
Who choose to walk in the shadows
Oh sweet redeemer will you save a place for me
I am tired and I'm seeking restitution
Oh will you heal me, will you take away my pain
What I'm looking for is absolution
Getting out of Purgatory
Is no small accomplishment
And the price is high
And it comes with its own set of conditions
The choice is never clear and difficult to make
But it will not change them
They will just go on the way they always have
Oh sweet redeemer will you save a place for me
I am tired and I'm seeking restitution
Oh will you heal me, will you take away my pain
What I'm looking for is absolution

I sit by my window, watch the clouds go by
Every moment is a one that I'm
Crying my heart out cause I'm not there with you
I feel like a fool I've got so much shame
I know I should just walk away
But what will I do with all this pain I feel for you
Please don't leave me
Not this time
I don't think I can survive it
I'll have nothing
Not even my pride
So please don't leave me
Not this time
So many nights I lay in bed
I stare at the place where you laid your head
I wonder who's lying with you instead of me
I can't make you feel it if it isn't there
No way to convince you if you just don't care
Look in your heart maybe you could spare a place for me
Please don't leave me
Not this time
I don't think I can survive it
I'd have nothing
Not even my pride
So please don't leave me
Not this time
You made your point
It's clear to me
There's somewhere else you'd rather be
But I can't bear the thought of life without you
I sit by my window, watch the clouds go by
But I can't bear the thought of life without you
Please don't leave me
Not this time
I don't think I can survive it
I'd have nothing
Not even my pride
So please don't leave me
Not this.
Please don't leave me
Not this time
I don't think I can survive it
I'd have nothing
Not even my pride
So please don't leave me
Not this time

[Instrumental]

It began as a summer just like the rest
Hopeful and filled with emotion
Lovers enjoying their sweet conquests
Pledging undying devotion
He felt the warm winds encircle his heart;
Softly, gently caressing all of his being
Every part, his love for her was unending
She was all that he dreamed of all of his life
For her there was no other
Happy were they as man and wife
Happy were they that summer
But all that it seemed was not meant to be,
The world was lost in indifference
And what began as a small incident ended up as hell
Then without warning all that they knew
Everything they'd been together was taken away,
Swift and cruel on that terrible night in summer
Out of the ruins he called her name
Echoing over and over
Silently waiting, but no one came
Out of the ruins that summer
But all that it seemed was not meant to be
The world was lost in indifference
And what began as a small incident ended up as hell
Out of the ruins he walked alone
Empty and broken forever
With nothing left but the sweet memory
Of how it began that summer

I lost faith in myself, in everyone and everything around me
I thought I'd disappear, maybe you'd be better off without me
You showed me I was wrong, everybody needs someone
And love is not about perfection
You made no promises
Life is hard enough you said, without you
Only You, Only You
You're all that matters
Only You, Only You, Only You
Only You give me strength
When my world is shattered
Only You, Only You, Only You
I've walked this road some many times before
You'd think I'd know the way
But like the fool that I am, it always ends the same
You said that everyone deserves a little happiness
No one should have to be alone
Me, I'd be satisfied with just a little tenderness,
With you
Only You, Only You
You're all that matters
Only You, Only You, Only You
Only You break the chain
When my world is shattered
Only You, Only You, Only You
Only You, Only You
You're all that matters
Only You, Only You, Only You
Only You give me strength
When my world is shattered
Only You, Only You, Only You

You keep tellin' me don't hang around
While you play around with the clowns that you found
It ain't right
Now and then I get tired of the sound of you putting me down
While you're playing the town everynight
I'm getting hung up, yes I am, yes I am
And you don't give a damn
Chorus:
No You Don't
Have to treat me like a fool
No You Don't
Have to be so bloody cool
No You Don't
Have to make up all the rules
No You Don't
No, No You Don't
No You Don't
You keep playing your reckless games that will bring you fame
But I'll take the blame for your name
Well you think you've got my life in your hands
But you don't understand, that I've got my own plans
My own plans
I'm going down, yes I am, yes I am
And you don't give a damn
(Chorus)

There comes a time, when you should see things clear
Free from my innocence, there is no circumstance too severe
Only the need for us, for us to believe again
There is a time, temptation's on the run
Dreamer you've had your way
Soldier you've had your day, in the sun
Now it's time, for us to begin again
Chorus:
Le Bel Age
Only our love will remain
Le Bel Age
Close to the truth once again
There comes a time (there comes a time)
When you must find your way
Begger has made his bed
Wrapped in a silhoutte, of gold and gray
Now it's time, yes it's time, for us to begin again
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
Standing so close to me, the possibility
To change our destiny, I see it perfectly, moving so naturally
Nothing can stand in our way
(Repeat Chorus Three Times)
Le Bel Age
Only our love will remain (only)
Le Bel Age (only our love, only our love)
Close to the truth once again
(Repeat Chorus)
Le Bel Age (Le Bel Age)
Le Bel Age

[Instrumental]

What's the use in staying
when everything's a lie
I hear what you're saying
And it makes me want to cry
You know the truth is so overrated
That should come as no surprise
It's all so complicated
Especially In These Times
Don't it make you crazy
Don't it make you ask yourself why
Nobody's got an answer
Especially In These Times
Life is like a puzzle
Best to chose the edges first
And work back to the middle
To the places where it hurts
Lately I've been thinkin'
Maybe there's a chance for us
If we take it slow now
And don't expect too much
Don't it make you wonder
Don't it make you ask yourself why
Nobody's got an answer
Especially In These Times
And don't it make you crazy
Don't it make you ask yourself why
Nobody's got an answer
Especially In These Times
Ooh, Ooh
(What's the use in stayin', when everything's a lie
And there's nothing sacred, especially In These Times)
Hey don't it make you crazy
Don't it make you ask yourself why
Nobody's got an answer
Especially In These Times
And don't it make you wonder
Don't it make you ask yourself why
Nobody's got an answer
Especially In These Times
In These Times

I have been here in this lonely place
Longer than I care to think or say
Hopin' with a little luck
Maybe I'd find someone like you
I have watched you nearly every morning
Gettin' your coffee, stretchin', yawnin'
Doin' all the little things you do
To start your day
[Chorus 1]
In my dreams I hold your hand
Lay my cheek close to yours
And hold back as long as I can
Feel the sweet sting of your kiss as our lips combine
I know that you've seen me, too
Once you smiled when I looked at you
I wonder if you thought about me
The way I thought of you
Maybe I just make too much of passing glances
Fleeting touches, maybe I'm a dreamer
Maybe so are you
[Chorus 2]
In my dreams I hold you close
Love you the way that I'd hope
Say what you already know
In my dreams I pretend
That you are mine

I was there when you cried like a baby
When you thought that maybe
Things weren't goin' your way
I was there when you asked me
Just â'cause you asked me and I didn't hesitate
Now that I need you, you turn away
Like I was nothing, like it was a big mistake
Come on baby, you know it ain't right
Tell me how do you sleep at night?
[Chorus]
I won't behave, sit quietly by while you take
Everything that I keep inside of me
I won't be still, Oh no, not I
â'Cause there's no way that I'd stay here
I'd rather die than love you
I'd rather die than love you
You know that I would rather die
It isn't fair to take someone's heart
Tear it apart, use it like you don't care
How does it feel to be hurt
It's gonna get worse
It's gonna get ugly, I swear
How many tears can one person cry
How much is enough
When's it time to say goodbye
Come on baby, you know it ain't right
Tell me how do you sleep at night?
Oh I sit here and
contemplate
just how much I
truly hate you and there's
nothing more sacred in this world
than love
but you've got no conscience
and your not worthy of it
Chorus

From the top of the hill
You can see all the lights of the Diamond Field
The treasure buried in plain sight
Where one mans loss is another mans gain
And no one cares about anything, worth caring about
Shall we go to the Diamond Field tonight
Tightrope walkin', in the web of light
Shall we go the Diamond Field and try
To seek the fortune in their eyes
One by one the lights go out
And the Diamond Field begins to fade
It turns back into cement and stone
Brick and asphalt, flesh and bone
Shall we go to the Diamond Field tonight
Tightrope walkin', in the web of light
Shall we go the Diamond Field and try
To seek the fortune in their eyes
Shall we go to the Diamond Field tonight
Tightrope walkin', in the web of light
Electric angles move against the night
Shining in the Diamond Field
From the album ";Tropico";

Our two worlds met in strange surprise
I hid my love in thin disguise
I tried to leave, how could I stay?
What if my heart gave me away?
I always thought I'd be prepared
But love just caught me unaware
You said the words and I believed
I fell so hard, I fell so deep
Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, so has mine
Here's My Heart
So true love triumphs once again
It always makes it in the end
And if you let the heart run free
It will return faithfully
Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, all the time
Helpless love walks the line
Hearts catch fire, the hour is fine
Here's My Heart
Ooh, Ooh
Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, all the time
Helpless love walks the line
Hearts catch fire, so has mine
Here's My Heart
Here's My Heart
Here's My Heart
Here's My Heart
Ooh... Hey, Hey, Hey

You think that you're the second coming
Sorry to say it doesn't do it for me
Must be a drag when you're so stunning
In all that you are
And all that you hope to be
[Chorus]
You can have it all, take it all
Break it all, forsake it all
Want it all, choose it all
Use it with no stake at all
Keep it all, trash it all
Lead it just like sheep it all
Hate it all, love it all, and still
You'll have nothing
Yeh, yeh
You think that you can walk on water
Better be careful, it gets mighty deep
I'd be afraid of what my thoughts were
You never know who'd be willing
To take that leap
[Chorus]
When you look in the mirror
Do you see any clearer
Or are you blinded
By your own vision
Or have you ever thought
That maybe you were wrong
Or do you just reside
In your illusion
[Chorus 2x]

[Instrumental]

You say you'll always be there
But I know you won't
You say you love me, you swear
But I know you don't
[Chorus]
I got better things I can do ya know
Than waste all of my time on you
Why don't you just go
You say I got it all wrong
That everything's changed
But I know where I belong
It's far, far away
[Chorus]
Pick yourself up, get yourself moving
Don't turn around, just keep on going
There's nothing you can say
To change my mind today
There's only one thing left to do
I guess you'll have to go
You say you're a different man
But you know that's a lie
The truth is gonna set you
Free and so am I
[Chorus 2x]

Do you like the way it feels when you get hurt?
Maybe you should take a long hard look at your self-worth
There's an emptiness inside
It started many years ago
You always try to fill it up
It's a familiar place you go
One day you'll just have to wake up, girl
[Chorus]
You know you got a lot to learn
You've got to do it for yourself
Find your own direction, don't rely on someone else
You got to know it in your heart
You've got to build it up with love, it isn't hard to rise above
Wake up, you don't wanna make up
You've got to do it for yourself
I know it feels sometimes that loneliness is worse
And with every change there comes a melancholy search
Now you can walk away from this
It doesn't have to bring you down
Have faith in destiny you what goes around, comes around
You don't have to stay and take it, girl
[Chorus]
Got nowhere to run
Got nowhere to hide
These changes will come if you just open your eyes
Got nowhere to run
Got nowhere to hide
You gotta do it for yourself
You gotta know it in your heart
It isn't hard to rise above

Everybody go round, go round, go round
Everybody lay down, lay down, lay down
Don't nobody make a sound
Everybody lay down
Everybody give up, give up, give up
Nobody hang tough, hang tough, hang tough
Life a little too rough
Everybody lay down
Everybody say hey, Don't nobody say no?
Everybody say wait, Don't nobody say go? (CHORUS)
Everybody lay down
Everybody cry loud, cry loud, cry loud
Nobody too proud, too proud, too proud
To tell you what they're all about
Everybody lay down
Everybody don't care, don't care, don't care
Nobody play fair, play fair, play fair
Maybe everybody too scared
Everybody lay down
(CHORUS)
Everybody lookin' higher
Everybody want to touch the fire
Nobody willing to lay it all down
Everybody want heaven
Everybody say Amen
One thing is certain, you gotta lay it all down
(CHORUS)
Everybody go round, go round, go
Everybody lay down, lay down
Don't nobody make a sound
Everybody lay down
Everybody give up, give up, give up
Nobody hang tough, hang tough
When it's just a little rough, everybody lay down
(CHORUS) Twice

If it's getting harder to face everyday
Don't Let It Show, Don't Let It Show
Though it's getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go
And if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you don't know me
And if it helps when they say I'm to blame
Say you don't own me
Even if it's taking the easy way out
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in
Don't tell them anything
Don't Let It
Don't Let It Show
Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say
Say you don't care, say you don't care
Even if you want to believe there's a way
I won't be there, I won't be there
But if you smile when they mention my name
They'll never know you
And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame
They'll never own you
Even if you feel you've got nothing to hide
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in
Don't tell them anything
Don't Let It
Don't Let It Show

Yeah
Hammer lands, the verdict stands
The walls come crumblin' down
The color code, rule of thumb
Shadows on the sun
Can you tell me, where it's really at?
All around the world tonight
People watchin', people waitin'
All around the world tonight
People feelin' disconnected
Somebody better plug me in
The jukebox plays a toxic waltz
A factory belches steam
A sidewalk ends in baby steps and
A widow maker screams
And it sounds like this
Hear her call your name
All around the world tonight
People watchin', people waitin'
All around the world tonight
People feelin' disconnected, yeah
The page is turned a city burned
The whole world falls apart
The plug is pulled, truth escapes
The space between our hearts
Space between our hearts
Space between our hearts,yeah
All around the world tonight

I see them everyday; they're like shadows
Tryin' to run from the pain
But you know the pain, it always follows
So there's nowhere to go, not really
Sometimes I want to touch them
Try and set them free
But I'm afraid I might know them
Or they will recognize me
Where do they go? The brokenhearted
Do they travel alone when they carry that weight
Do they disappear without a trace
Look into the eyes of those who know
Can you tell me, where do they go?
Is there a place that they go to
That's for them alone
Where memories are sacred
And heartache has no home
I see them here in the moonlight
Searching for a sign
That love is out there waiting
Waiting for the right time
Where do they go? The brokenhearted
Do they travel alone when they carry that weight
Do they try to return to where they started
Do they disappear without a trace
Look into the eyes of those who know
Can you tell me where do they go?
The power of love gives them strength to carry on
Everywhere they go

I remember the night
When destiny finally found us
I remember holding on
When the stars were crashin' all around us
We thought that the world was ending
But you know it wasn't true
€˜Cause I still love you
I still love you
[Chorus]
I'll be brave for you
And every day I pray for you
We can be strong in each other's arms
And I'll be brave, I'll be brave for you
I know that you're afraid
You know that I'm afraid, too
But you gotta have faith; you gotta listen
To what your heart is telling you
You know love's a funny thing
You just gotta let it be
Like you and me; you and me
[Chorus]
Just look at the sky above us
Let the sun shine down on us
Stand with me here together
In the light of love now
And forever

(P. Brown, R. Feldman, M. Grombacher)
Here we go again, 'round and 'round again, gettin' nowhere fast
It's the same old game, one more final same, never meant to last
Who'll be the first one who's leavin', who'll be the last one to cry
Something just keeps me believin' in our love tonight
Chorus:
I can't seem to say goodbye, though I've tried a million times
The more I learn, the less I know about the art of letting go
So we take our time and we make our moves oh so carefully
Always seems so safe, habit's hard to break when you're here with me
I don't know how am I to hold you, no easy way to be free
Something just keeps me believin' that we're meant to be
(chorus)
(Solo)
For all we feel and all we know, it's not easy letting go
(chorus)
About the art of letting go, you gotta let go, you gotta let go, yeah

You want me to leave, you want me to stay
You ask me to come back, you turn and walk away
You wanna be lovers, and you wanna be friends
I'm losing my patience, you're nearing the end
One of these days you're gonna reach out and find
The one that you count on has left you behind
Don't want to be no martyr, with no one, no say
Oh my, my baby, before it's too late
Treat me right, treat me right
Open your eyes, maybe you'll see the light
Do you think I'm a fool, well you better think twice
I've had enough baby, it's time you realized
That you can't have it both ways, it's no way to live
You've done all the takin', it's your turn to give
One of these days you're gonna reach out and find
The one that you count on has left you behind
Don't want to be no martyr, with no one, no say
Oh my, my baby, before it's too late
Treat me right, treat me right
Open your eye's, maybe you'll see the light
Oh, treat me right
You want me to leave, you want me to stay
You ask me to come back, you're turnin' love away
You wanna be lovers, and you wanna be friends
I'm losing my patience, you're nearing the end
Treat me right, treat me right
Open your eyes, maybe you'll see the light
Oh, treat me right
Treat me right, treat me right
Treat me right, treat me right
Treat me right, treat me right

Background voices calling from a distance
Static on the line of least resistance
Don't say nothing at all
Don't say nothing at all
Don't say nothing at all
I'm hanging on a wire, waitin' on the word
I'm never seen, you're never heard
The object of desire is seldom ever clear
I reach for you but all I hear
Are the background voices calling from a distance
Silent partners, listen to the hush
A lover without words is easily deceived
And rumors easily believed
The matter of obsession is seldom ever clear
I turn around, you disappear
In background voices calling from a distance
Silent partners, listen to the hush
Silent partners, you know they don't say nothing at all
What about the things we never mention?
What about the things we never say?
Will we wind up targets of affection?
Turning silent, the silent turn away
A paramour or less, is never really sure
Exactly what to listen for
In secret service to the things they never say
The silent partners fade away
To background voices, calling from a distance
Silent partners, listen to the hush

Well you're the real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
That's okay let's see how you do it
Put up your dukes, let's get down to it
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot?
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away
You come on with a come on, you don't fight fair
But that's okay, see if I care
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I'll get right back up on my feet again
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot?
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away
Well you're a real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
Before I put another notch in my lipstick case
You better make sure you put me in my place
Hit me with your best shot
Come on, hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot?
Hit me with your best shot

So long, hope we'll meet again one day
I'm hopin' maybe then you'll say
Darlin' - I was wrong
So long, so long, so long
Gee, I hate to see you go - umm..
You're really the world to me, you know
You, you just stay so long
All alone, with my memories of you
And I can see that your lonely too
You're my own, even though we're far apart
But I'll keep you right here in my heart
So long, so long, so long, so long
Though you leave me hear to cry - huh..
Or could it, could it, could it, could it be - goodbye
Don't you know that you've been mine so long
Yes I'm alone, with my memories of you
Yes, I can dream, dream, dream, that you're lonely too
You're my own, even though we're far apart
Well I'll keep you right here in my heart
So long, so long, so long
Though you leave me hear to cry - huh..
Well this could never, never, never mean goodbye
Darlin' you, you just stay -- So Long.....

I've got papers on you baby
You gotta do what I say
I've got papers on you baby
You gotta do what I say
I mean business darlin', I'm too old to play
I've got papers on you baby
And I mean you're mine, all mine
I've got papers on you baby
And I mean you're mine, all mine
If you do just what I tell you darlin'
We're gonna get along real fine
Now the red light means stop
Green light means go
Tell you something once
I ain't gonna tell you no more
I've got papers on you baby
You gotta do what I say
I got old baby, and I'm too old to play
Well I see that you eat
And I see that you got a place to stay
I see that you eat
And I see you got a place to stay
But as long as live in this house
I ain't gonna let you have your way
I've got papers on you baby
And I mean in black and white
I've got papers on you
And I mean in black and white
Now I ain't hard to get along with
But you just gotta treat me right

There's two kinds of people that I just can't stand
An evil hearted woman and a lyin' man
But don't you lie to me, don't you lie to me
Because it makes me feel like it's as evil as I can be
Told me that you loved me a long time ago
The woman that you had, you don't want her no more
But don't you lie to me, don't you lie to me
Because it makes me feel like it's as evil as a woman can be
You told me that you loved me a long time ago
The woman that you had, you don't want her no more
But don't you lie to me, don't you lie to me
Because it makes me feel like it's as evil as a woman can be
Hey, don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me
No, No, don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me
Because it makes me feel like it's as evil as a woman can be
Don't you lie to me
Don't you lie to me baby - No

Well there used to be a time when a man was a king
To work for a man was a woman's only dream
Everything he did was perfectly alright
He didn't have to worry about fussin' and fightin'
It Don't Happen No More
That was a long time ago
It's a pitiful shame
How the world has changed
There used to be a time when a woman couldn't smoke
There used to be a time when a woman couldn't vote
She used to stay at home while the man went out to play
She was satisfied with life any old way
It Don't Happen No More
That was a long time ago
It's a pitiful shame
How the world has changed
Well, well
There used to be a time when a woman couldn't cook
There used to be a time she didn't worry about her looks
She used to sip on Sassafrass, she didn't even drink
She didn't try to tell her man how to think
It Don't Happen No More
That was a long time ago
It's a pitiful shame
How the world has changed
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It Don't Happen No More
That was a long time ago
It's a pitiful shame
How the world has changed
It Don't Happen No More

When they found you, you were driven and hungry
You were playin' for your life then
You were livin' for the chance to be heard
What they promised, what they offered
Was more than you'd ever hoped for
To walk away, ya' know that would've been absurd
And talk about absurdity, it was madness
It was everything in excess
It was too much, too many, and too little time
It was faceless people in jackets and ties
Who thought of you when they made love to their wives
Somehow, it wasn't what you had in mind
Chorus:
Tell `em you're Takin' It Back
So they might as well get used to the idea
You're Takin' It Back, those cooperation days are over
You got no one to blame but yourself
So don't put it on nobody else
Put it behind you, start over, today
There were parties and photos and televised award shows
And covers of magazines
There was gold and platinum and everyone was smiling
You were coming apart at the seems
There were jerk offs too numerous to mention
When everybody shared the dream
But when it came time to share the nightmare
They were conveniently nowhere to be seen
(Chorus)
Oh they'll argue what they gave you was exactly what you wanted
And just to be fair, ya' know that some of it's true
That's why ya' gotta be careful, `bout your wishes
Take your time and think `em over
Sometimes those wishes just might come true
Tell `em you're Takin' It Back
So they might as well get used to the idea
You're Takin' It Back, those cooperation days are over
Tell `em you've had enough, and if they don't like it it's tough
You're Takin' It Back, those cooperation days are over
You're Takin' It Back
Tell `em you're Takin' It Back

The alarm clock rings but you don't move
But the wife gets up and puts on her uniform
You hear her in the bathroom
Cause she's got that nagging cough
You put your head under the pillow
To forget you've been laid off

You had it printed on your van
Cause it had a pretty ring

The union man said you'd be recalled
But the company up and moved to Taiwan
You counted on the pension plan
But you were out of luck
The union says you only qualify
For twenty-five bucks

Firewalkers feel no pain from the coals
Ruled by passion beyond their control
Vengeance is king in the zone of Red Vision
Sparks fly and tempers flair
You see the enemy everywhere
Hate shines like burning bridges in your eyes
In love and war we stand alone
Trustin' nothin' but our own, Red Vision
Anger sharpens your point of view
Fans the fire in and around you
Farenheit in the realm of your senses
In love and war we stand alone
Trusting nothing but our own, Red Vision
Mind like a steel trap, heart like a prison
With tears of rage, we burn in our Red Vision
Once again, I'll walk the coals
Tiptoe through the minefields of your soul
I've come to take you home
Red Vision
Red Vision
Red Vision

Oh, Red Vision.......

It's a cold world that we live in all the people say
That this world is gettin' colder day by day
Too little warmth left in our lives
I don't know if what the people say is true
But I noticed there's a change in you
Too little warmth left in your eyes
I am freezing, no Love In This Ice Age
Whoa, Whoa
I am freezing, there's no Love In This Ice Age
Whoa, Whoa
There is friction without fire when the passions spent
As we shiver in the winter of our discontent
So little love left in our lives
Now we're standing in the shadows of a fading sun
Words like weapons, the cold war touches everyone
So little love left in our eyes
I am freezing, no Love In This Ice Age
Whoa, Whoa
I am freezing, there's no Love In This Ice Age
Whoa, Whoa
Feeling the chill that comes with the pain
Love In The Ice Age
I am freezing, no Love In This Ice Age
Whoa, Whoa
I am freezing, there's no Love In This Ice Age

Baby I forgot somethin', that's why I came home
It's somethin' I really need, I know you thought I was gone
No, it's not my gloves honey, it's not that cold today
It's nothin' I left behind, it's somethin' I got to say
I forgot to say I love you
And something else that I missed, to say how much I need you
Chorus:
In a Crazy, Crazy World Like This
It's easy to feel all alone
You give me the strength I need to exist
Just hold me and don't let me go
In a Crazy, Crazy World Like This
Sometimes I don't know lately, what will ease the pain?
On every corner of the street, sometimes it's all too insane
Baby you just got somethin', that's why I came home
It's somethin' I really need, an' now we can be alone
I just had to say I love you, and something else that I missed
To say how much I need you
(Chorus)
It's easy to fear the unknown
I always know when fate gives a twist
You'll be there to soften the blow
In a Crazy, Crazy World Like This - Ooh, Ooh
You give me the strength I need to exist
Just hold me and don't let me go
In a Crazy, Crazy World Like This
It's easy to feel all alone
I always know when fate gives a twist
You'll be there to soften the blow
In a Crazy, Crazy World Like This - Ooh, Ooh
You give me the strength I need to exist
Just hold me and don't let me go
In a Crazy, Crazy World Like This
When all my defences are low
I always know when fate gives a twist
You'll be there to soften the blow

Never been no fragile flower
I always got too much to say
Never had much luck with love and romance
I guess it's always been that way
But I've been seriously thinking
About slippin' on the velvet gloves
I know it's strange but my lucks about to change
Cause what we got here is True love, yeh, yeh
True Love, you can't buy it - no, no
You know it ain't like nothin' else
True Love, you really ought to try it
You owe it to yourself to get ya some - True Love
You know I wake up every morning
It's the first thing on my mind
This is a permanent condition, of the most serious kind
Now let me tell you baby
That you were sent from up above
Give me a sign - let's not waste any more time
Cause what we got here is True love, yeh, yeh
I called the man at the video store and I said
Cancel my membership, I won't be needing it no more
Found something else to occupy my nights
And baby it's just the right
Amount of True Love
I called the man at the video store and I said
Cancel my membership, I won't be needing it no more

There are people who have no trouble
In expressing how they feel
For me it's never been that bad
It's just the way I've always been
CHORUS:
I often try to tell my friends
About the Effect You Have On Me
I don't know why, I can't explain
When you are near, my heart is weak
It spins around my head and then
Recalls your fingers down my spine
It goes away, it comes back again
Makes me cry, it makes me shy
You have in your hand my _______ of love
And in your eyes all that I _________
What more could I expect from life
Than your lovin' and tender kiss
And they can talk about paradise
And all the dreams that ought to be
I ________ doubt it could compare to
The Effect You Have On Me
There are no words, no reason why
The tears that sometimes fill my eyes
They're only tears of happiness
It's only fear of losing you
(Repeat Chorus)
Only your voice can bring me peace
Only your touch can bring me joy
What more should I expect from this life
When so many people still search for love
I know I never will explain
This Effect You Have On Me
But if I have on you the same
We'll be in love....eternally

No, we're never ever happy with what we got
I see that look on your face, you know I've seen that look before
Don't you be fooled baby, you gonna show
It's just Temptation, Whoa... Temptation
Temptation Whoa... Must be Temptation
Too far to fall but we always do
Though we swore in our hearts to be true
You say that hand that your holdin' feels a little cold sometime
Baby sooner or later, you're gonna find that true love..
Is just like Temptation, Whoa... Temptation
Temptation Whoa... Feels like Temptation
Now listen here... Whoa... Temptation
Whoa... Temptation Whoa....
We want it all and we want it fast
No time to think, no time to ask
But you know that road that we're on don't always lead to happiness
You can count on it baby
It's a pretty good guess now all we got
Is just Temptation, Whoa... Temptation
Temptation Whoa... Feels like Temptation

It's always one thing or another, seems like we never get ahead
Reaching out for the brass ring, and landing in the dirt instead
We can't get past yesterday, we're only counting down from ten
It seems like every move we make, brings us back where we began
You've gotta Run Between The Raindrops
If you wanna see the sun
Run, Run, Run, Between The Raindrops
Run Between The Raindrops, if you wanna see the sun
Run, Run, Run, - Run Baby Run
Somewhere there's a sun that's shining
Somewhere we'll find a life that's good
Some way I'm gonna make it happen
Just like you always knew I could
We're treading water on a river of tears
And I don't know what to do
I can take a beating, but I ain't gonna let it happen to you, you
You've gotta Run Between The Raindrops
If you wanna see the sun
Run, Run, Run, Between The Raindrops
Run Between The Raindrops, if you wanna see the sun
You Gotta Run, Run, Run, - Run Baby Run

Bells will be ringing, the glad - glad news
For what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone and I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Oh, crowds will be singing Silent Night
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Year's night
Friends and relations, send salutations
As sure as the stars shine above
Yes it's Christmas, Christmas my dear
It's the time of the year -- time of the year
To be with the one you -- the one you really love
Oh won't you tell me, we'll never grow old
Christmas and New Years will find you home
They'll be no more sorrow, no more grief and pain
Because I'll be happy that it's Christmas once again
Please come home for Christmas baby

Because I'll be happy, Lord I'll be so happy

You don't act like my man - you're just usin' my name

Just when we think we conquered it
It seems we lose the fight again
But there's just no stoppin' it
It's like a bad dream that never ends
It puts up walls between us
That get harder, and harder, and harder, and harder, and harder
To remove
But we let it continue, like people in love always do
Ooh - Ooh
Ooh - Ooh
Ooh - Ooh
Lets not pretend that we're unique
Coz everybody's tasted loves illusion
We try to hide the fact that we
Got lost between the choas and confusion
And the love we feel
Is gettin' deeper, and deeper, and deeper, and deeper, and deeper
By the minute
But we let it slip away
Coz we don't know a good thing while we're in it

Ready to throw their lives out in the gutter
Ain't no love between `em, father to son

Ain't nobody loved me better than you done

Did you see me last night
I was there in the dark
I saw her look at you, the way I used to
When I still had your heart.
I watched you take her hand
There was love in your eyes
I remember when you looked at me that way too
Before we said good-bye
I Don't Want To Be Your Friend
I just want to be your lover
I don't think I can pretend
That you mean nothing to me
It's hard enough to say good-bye
Even when you know it's over
I Don't Want To Be Your Friend
I Want To Be Your Lover And when I think I've had enough
And I just can't stand the pain
I reminisce about the way it felt
To have you every day
You know that every time I hear your voice
I still get a thrill
And there's nothing I can do about it
Am I gone from your thoughts, forgotten somehow
When you be there with her
Does my memory stir, any part of you now
I know that I should concede, face the truth and all that
I know I should realize I'm not a part of your life anymore,
But I can't
I Don't Want To Be Your Friend
I just want to be your lover
I don't think I can pretend
That you mean nothing to me
It's hard enough to say good-bye
Even when you know it's over
I Don't Want To Be Your Friend
I Want To Be Your Lover

Well the unseen sights look good to you
I notice how you survey the room
Awkward conversation and you're too polite
You know that's always a clue
I'm wasting my time tryin' to tell ya'
That you're making the mistake of your life
Cause you're so sure that you need to go
At any cost, at any price
But, I'll Do It
I'll send you out on your own, with no guarantee
I'll Do It
But when you wanna come home and you look for love
Don't look for me!
Tell me, when did everything start to go wrong?
And why was I the last one to know?
You're so good at hidin' your feelings
I'm so good at lettin' mine show
Well I know how great it feels together
But that just isn't enough
Cause I need more than your bedside manner
I need someone to love
So, I'll Do It
I guess there's nothin' to say, its all been said
I'll Do It
Make sure you want it this way, `cause when it's done this time
I'll be gone
I'll Do It
I'll send you out on your own, with no guarantee
I'll Do It
But when you wanna come home and you look for love
Don't look for me!

You hate to say that maybe you were wrong
You want contentment, but ya' can't be that strong
You see the shadow on the window blind
But that shadow will never be mine

I don't want to argue about who is the victim
Cause maybe we both got burned
I don't want to talk about who is the traitor
Cause both of our loyalties turned
I don't want to fight about who is the liar
Cause there's too many ways to lie
I don't want to hear about who is the winner
Cause we both know it's a tie
Cut it out, drop it, count me out - baby stop it
Life is too short, so why waste Precious Time
Life is too short, so why waste Precious Time
You were on a liquid diet, you were sure you had to try it
And you lost all your pounds
The doctor's on vacation, so you took the medication
And wound up in lost and found
So we took a trip to Paris
Cause you swore that it would scare us out of our swift decline
All that I remember `bout those days in that September
Is the ";merci"; and the wine
Cut it out, drop it, count me out - baby stop it
Life is too short, so why waste Precious Time
Life is too short, so why waste
Precious Time, Precious Time, Precious Time
Oh, Precious Time
Life is too short, so why waste Precious Time
You talk on the telephone, long distance to New York or Rome
Some would say you got it made
Your home is like a fortress, no one comes in but the florist
The gardner, and the maid
You call me on the telephone, you say you feel so alone
Too tired to get dressed and get out
First you're happy, then you're sad
Somehow you always hang up mad
Excuse me if I shout
Cut it out, drop it, count me out - baby stop it

Life is too short, so why waste Precious Time
Life is too short, so why waste Precious Time

Life is too short, so why waste Precious Time

How am I supposed to make it through another day
What am I supposed to do now that you've gone away
Is there anything encouraging you can say to me
Did you really think my heart was made of stone
Maybe you never gave it any thought at all
How nice to go through live oblivious and free
Life is sweet, sweet as Strawberry Wine
And bitter too, like the seeds on the vine
And you are that, you are more than sublime
And bitter too, lovin' you, has been an experience
How am I supposed to ever feel the same
These kind of situations always have a way
Of screwing up your mind and messing with your sanity
How many days and nights will have to come and go
Before I realize what I already know
I'm better off without you like I thought I'd be
Life is sweet, sweet as Strawberry Wine
And bitter too, like the seeds on the vine
And you are that, you are more than sublime
And bitter too, lovin' you, has been an experience
(Spoken) Life is sweet
Life is sweet, sweet as Strawberry Wine
And bitter too, like the seeds on the vine
And you are that, you are more than sublime
And bitter too, lovin' you, has been an experience
Life is sweet, sweet as Strawberry Wine
And bitter too, like the seeds on the vine
And you are that, you are more than sublime
And bitter too, lovin' you, has been an experience

Hey baby, won't you sit down here next to me
Well I heard you're havin' trouble in love
Yeh, I know how that can be
Now love can hurt, I know it's true
Let me see what I can do
I know a place where you can find love
The kind you always dreamed of
Lets go down to the River-O-Love
Let me show you how sweet it can be
Down at the River-O-Love
Let the cool, clear water wash over you and me
in the River-O-Love
Hey Darlin', you know that love is strange
Seems the harder you try to hold on
The further it moves away
I know its hard to understand
But that's okay I got a plan
I know a place where you can find love
The kind you always dreamed of
Lets go down to the River-O-Love
Let me show you how sweet it can be
Down at the River-O-Love
Let the cool, clear water wash over you and me
in the River-O-Love
Lets go down to the River-O-Love
Let me drown in the River-O-Love
The River-O-Love
You don't have to be afraid
Coz I'll be right there by your side
We can take it slow baby
One long sweet ride
Lets go down to the River-O-Love
Let me show you how sweet it can be
Down at the River-O-Love
Let the cool, clear water wash over you and me
in the River-O-Love
Lets go down to the River-O-Love
Let me drown in the River-O-Love
The River-O-Love

I picked a rose this morning
And it was so fresh, it looked like it was crying
I thought how sad to be so beautiful
Only to wither and die
Like Papa's Roses soft and pale
Like petals thrown in the dirt
Only silence is spoken here
All that grows here is hurt
And Papa's Roses
Papa wasn't really a hardened man
He could be tender at times
I remember, it was like it holiday
When he was gentle and kind
He gave those roses his heart and soul
I wish he'd saved some for me
It would've been such a simple thing,
For me to be, like Papa's Roses
Like Papa's Roses soft and pale
Like petals thrown in the dirt
Only silence is spoken here
All that grows here is hurt
And Papa's Roses
Voices that whisper soft and low
Forever buried inside
Haunted by images dark and cold
Forever burned in your mind
But I dreamed I could fly away
Like an angel I'd fly
To the places where I could forget
Forget that I was like Papa's Roses
Like Papa's Roses soft and pale
Like petals thrown in the dirt
Only silence is spoken here
All that grows here is hurt
And Papa's Roses

It seems I loved you for so long
It seems like all of my life
Just like a child who doesn't belong
You'd turn, 'til even the sun became your shadow
And I hate you in your innocence, you know
But I hate myself even more for lovin' you so
Sometimes I believed, what you had to say
Then I watched you bleed, all the truth away
Somewhere in my heart, there's a place I know
Where all our Dirty Little Secrets go
Nobody's perfect, certainly not us
We've all got secrets to keep
I would have kept yours safe in my heart
You would have always known where to find me
And I know you better that I know myself, you know
So why pretend you've got somewhere else to go
Sometimes I believed, what you had to say
Then I watched you bleed, all the truth away
Somewhere in my heart, there's a place I know
Where all our Dirty Little Secrets go
Sometimes it hurt so bad that you cry
Then there's the times you wish you had died
Sometimes the truth is worse than the lie, sometimes
Sometimes it's best to lock it away
In a place that's secret and safe
Sometimes you just pretend you don't know
Sometimes it's best to let go
Sometimes I believed, what you had to say
Then I watched you bleed, all the truth away
Somewhere in my heart, there's a place I know
Where all our Dirty Little Secrets go

Another day another chance to get it right
Circumstances sabotage me in spite of what I try
No matter what I do
There's always something keeping me away from you
I'd do anything to see your sweet smile
An I'd go anywhere to be with you for just awhile
Isn't it funny how some things are meant to be
There is no future here for you and me
At This Time, At This Time, At This Time
Now I'm a girl who believes in destiny
But I suppose I should face reality
The timing's wrong, there's just too many obstacles
To get together now would be impossible
And what if fate has already played it's hand
And there's no future left in the plan
What if this is what lies in store
It only makes me want you even more
I'd do anything to see your sweet smile
An I'd go anywhere to be with you for just awhile
Isn't it funny how some things are meant to be
There is no future here for you and me
At This Time, At This Time, At This Time
I'd do anything to see your sweet smile
An I'd go anywhere to be with you for just awhile
Isn't it funny how some things are meant to be
There is no future here for you and me
At This Time, At This Time, At This Time
(Butterflies and moon beams are fragile things
I guess that's the way it is with love too
Sometimes it just doesn't work out)
I'd do anything to see your sweet smile
An I'd go anywhere to be with you for just awhile
Isn't it funny how some things are meant to be
There is no future here for you and me
At This Time, At This Time, At This Time

I walk around pretending you were never here
But the smell of you is everywhere
I ache so bad for you I want to shed my skin
Try and keep my thoughts from turning into you
I'm not Angry anymore
I'm not Angry
I'm not Angry anymore
There is no wound as deep as a lovers betrayal
No touch as tender as your lover's hand
You were so generous with both I nearly died
Took all my dignity 'til there was nothin' left inside
I'm not Angry anymore
I'm not Angry
I'm not Angry anymore
I just want to forget you
Erase you, replace you with
Forgiveness, forgiveness
I ache so bad for you I want to shed my skin
Try and keep my thoughts from turning into you
I'm not Angry anymore
I'm not Angry
I just want to forget you
Erase you, replace you with
Forgiveness, forgiveness
I'm not Angry anymore
I'm not Angry
I'm not Angry anymore

Are you lonely tonight?
Are you thinking about me?
Did you ever wonder how should I feel?
Close your eyes now and picture me there
You can push us aside, you can tear us apart
But it doesn't change the way that I feel
Close your eyes now and you'll see me there
By your side, so wrong, so right
We make our choices, as time goes by
But nothin' matters more than you and I
One in a million, two of a kind
You & I
It was all we could stand
it was heaven and hell
It was everything and nothing together
Maybe some things are just meant to be
What they are, so close, so far
We make our choices, as time goes by
But nothin' matters more than you and I
One in a million, two of a kind
You & I
You know I love you
I want you, but what can I do?
Can't fight this feelin'
I just can't go on without you
Baby I want you
Are you lonely tonight?
Are you thinking about me?
Did you ever wonder how should I feel?
Maybe somethings are just meant to be - yeh
We make our choices, as time goes by
But nothin' matters more than you and I
One in a million, two of a kind
We make our choices, as time goes by
But nothin' matters more than you and I
One in a million, two of a kind
You & I
We make our choices
But nothin' matters
Only You & I

Cold hard labor, it's a labor of love
Convicted of crimes, the crimes of passion
Caught in a chain gang, the chain of fools
Solitary confinement, confined by the rules
I'm just a Prisioner
An inmate of love
Oh I'm a Prisioner
Captured by love
With no escape
No where to go
No place to hide
Hey, I'm a Prisioner!
I'm just a Prisioner
Mending the wounds, the wounds of lament
The knife cut deep, deep into my heart
The romance is over, my passions remain
Still bound to love by this ball and chain
I'm just a Prisioner
An inmate of love
Oh I'm a Prisioner
Captured by love
With no escape
No where to go
No place to hide
Hey, I'm a Prisioner!
I'm just a Prisioner
Oh I'm a Prisioner
Hey, I'm a Prisioner!
Find an escape, a key to the door
I gotta get out, can't take anymore
Make a clean break, to bury the past
I'll shed these chains and be free at last
I'm just a Prisioner
A Prisioner Of Love
I'm just a Prisioner
A Prisioner Of Love
Hey, I'm a Prisioner
I'm just a Prisioner

Wise men say these are the facts of life
What ya can't read, you gotta write
What you don't know can hurt you, welcome to the wasteland
Hail Mary, hear me now - I'm in need of Sanctuary
Yes, these are hard times to be livin' in
Out in the Wasteland where love's a give away
I fall on my face like a rebel in the dirt
Sanctuary, Give me some protection
Baby, Baby cover me
Feelin' lost and so afraid
Just tryin' to keep the handle on the blade
Been such a long time runnin'
Behind these walls inside of me
Ain't nothin' clear as far as I see
Looks like a storm cloud breakin'
Off in the distance, I hear a drivin' beat - a drivin' beat
The sun goes down like a rebel in the dirt
Sanctuary, Give me some protection
Baby, Baby cover me
Sanctuary, Give me some affection
by, Baby shelter me
Heartache gonna worry me down -- I don't like it
Show me mercy, peace of mind
Stand beside me in these troubled times
Give me a reason to believe in now
Love and affection, they seem so far away, so far away
All I can do just to make it through the night
Sanctuary, Give me some protection
Baby, Baby cover me
Sanctuary, Give me some affection
Baby, Baby shelter me
Sanctuary, Sanctuary
Sanctuary, Sanctuary

I don't know if it's me or just the sign of the times
But I want a better life than the one I've been livin'
Ain't no one says that you can't change who you are
Ain't no law says you gotta take what you're givin'
I wanna find a place where the nights are warm
And the wind don't blow so cold against my skin
I wanna find some shelter in someone's arms
When I go too far I know that
Every time I fall back
You grab my shoulder to keep me from fallin'
Every time I fall back
Your arms are open , I hear you calling me
I believe that people are the same wherever you go
Everybody's seen their reflection
The face we wear is not our face at all
No - we've lost all direction
Don't wanna dance the dance of the fool no more
Don't wanna give away my soul for nothin'
Don't wanna sell myself door to door
I just wanna know that..
Every time I fall back
You grab my shoulder to keep me from fallin'
Every time I fall back
Your arms are open , I hear you calling me
Ohhh...
Ohhh...
Ohhh...
I don't know if it's me or just the sign of the times
I just wanna know that..
Every time I fall back
You grab my shoulder to keep me from fallin'
Every time I fall back
Your arms are open , I hear you calling me
I hear you calling me..
I hear you calling me..
Ohh......

I hear you had a good offer down on Third Avenue
You tell me that was the reason
For whatcha' put me through, Yeah
And now you come collapsin' back
I feel the heat of your attack
Want me to take you back
I'm givin' you the sack
So don't waste your time
Chorus:
It's a Little Too Little
It's a Little Too Late
I'm a Little Too Hurt
And there's nothin' left that I've gotta say
You can cry to me baby
But there's only so much I can take
Ah, it's a Little Too Little
It's a Little Too Late
You say you had a good time
But did ya' think it was for free - yeah
And how much did it get ya', all their flattery
And now you come back, runnin' for protection
You've been bitten by love and stung by rejection
You can't connect
What did you expect?
I'm still gettin' over you
(Repeat Chorus Four Times)
Written by: Alex Call

Ooh baby, got a hold on me, I can't deny it
You locked the door and you swallowed the key
And I... and I kept quiet
Yeah baby, got a hold on me, I didn't want to be alone
I stayed with you `cause I really believed
That I couldn't make it on my own
But I'm getting a little bit smarter
Gettin' tired of playin' the martyr
And I know what you're all about
I Want Out!
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, your lovin' told on me, I couldn't smile anymore
My friends all told me, baby can't you see?
But I wasn't seeing clear before
Now I'm getting a little bit smarter
Gettin' tired of playin' the martyr
And I know what you're all about
I Want Out!
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me, I didn't want to be alone
I stayed with you `cause I really believed
That I couldn't make it
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!
Ooh baby, got a hold on me
I Want Out!

Ooo, you're givin' me the fever tonight
I don't wanna give in
I'd be playin' with fire
You forget, I've seen you work before
Take `em straight to the top
Leave `em cryin' for more
I've seen you burn `em before
Chorus:
Fire and Ice
You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and Ice
I wanna give you my love
But you'll just take a little piece of my heart
You'll just tear it apart
Movin' in for the kill tonight
You got every advantage when they put out the lights
It's not so pretty when it fades away
Cause it's just an illusion in this passion play
I've seen you burn `em before
(Chorus)
So you think you got it all figured out
You're an expert in the field, without a doubt
But I know your methods inside and out
And I won't be takin' in by Fire and Ice
(Chorus)
You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and Ice
I wanna give you my love
But you'll just take a little piece of my heart
You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and Ice
You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder

You know and I know My Clone Sleeps Alone
She's out on her own - forever
She's programmed to work hard, she's never profane
She won't go insane, not ever
No V.D., no cancer, on T.V's the answer
No father, no mother,, she's just like the other
And you know and I know, My Clone Sleeps Alone
Your clone loves my clone, but yours cannot see
That's no way to be, in heaven
No sorrow, no heartache, just clone harmony
So obviously, it's heaven
No naughty clone ladies allowed in the eighties
No bed names, no sex games, just clone names and clone games
And you know and I know My Clone Sleeps Alone
Before we existed the cloning began
The cloning of man and woman
When we're gone they'll live on, cloned endlessly
It's mandatory in heaven
But they won't remember or ever be tender
No loving, no caring, no program for pairing
No V.D., no cancer, on T.V's the answer
No father, no mother, she's just like the other
No naughty clone ladies allowed in the eighties
And you know and I know My Clone Sleeps Alone
My Clone Sleeps Alone!
My Clone Sleeps Alone!

In The Heat Of The Night, when you know it ain't right
But you do what you wanna do
You do what you feel, no one can feel like you
Out in the summertime city, ain't it a pity
There's so much to tie you down
You're leaving tonight to somewhere you can't be found
While down at the edge of town
At a pool hall where they all hang around
You hear them talkin' about the girls they knew
And talk about what they're gonna do
Then you ask yourself, is this where you belong?
Is it right, or is it wrong?
Does it matter what's right, In The Heat Of The Night?
Out in the streets tonight, under the neon lights
You're searchin' for something new
But nothin' is real, and no one can feel like you
They say that eagles fly in this red hot sky
But were they just passin' through
Or did they look down, and see what you found was true
But still in the back of your mind
You've got somethin' to believe in, but there's so much to find
As the bright lights dim, and the night closes in
You thought everything is ending, but it's yet to begin
And you ain't seen nothing yet!
But what you see you'll never forget, and you'll say
Why oh Why)
Did it take you so long to want something more?
Why oh Why)
Did you never get off on this before?
Why oh Why)
Well, here it is, the love you've been waitin' for
Why oh Why)
Standin' in front of you like an open door
And then you ask yourself, is this where you belong?
Is it right, or is it wrong?
Does it matter what's right, In The Heat Of The Night?
In The Heat Of The Night, when you know it ain't right
But you do what you wanna do
You do what you feel, `cause no one can feel like you

I'm Gonna Follow You, `till I wear you down
I'm Gonna Follow You, `cause this here's my town
You don't know these streets the way that I do (I do, I do)
You can't turn it on and off the way that I do (I do, I do)
Ooo, Ooo...
I'm Gonna Follow You, `till I know your timing
You'll turn some corner soon, and find you can't get by me
You don't know these streets the way that I do (I do, I do)
You can't turn it on and off the way that I do (I do, I do)
You see yourself as some kind of lily of the valley
You come around here in your ballet slippers padding on my alley
And you know that you can't dance
Cause you know you never had the chance
I'm gonna dance for you!
Ooo, Ooo...
I'm Gonna Follow You, `till I wear you down
I'm Gonna Follow You, `cause this here's my town
You don't know these streets the way that I do (I do, I do)
You can't turn it on and off the way that I do (I do, I do)
You see yourself as some kind of lily of the valley
You come around here in your ballet slippers padding on my alley
And you know that you can't dance
Cause you know you never had the chance
I'm gonna dance for you!
Ooo, Ooo...

Whatcha tryin' a do to my heart?
Whatcha tryin' a do to my heart?
You go around tellin' lies
And now you want to compromise
Whatcha tryin' a do to my heart?
And you better run, you better hide
You better leave from my sight, yeah
Whatcha tryin' a do to my soul?
Whatcha tryin' a do to my soul?
Well, everything I had was yours
And now I'm closin' all the doors
Whatcha tryin' a do to my soul?
And you better run, you better hide
You better leave from my sight, yeah
I love you oh, I love you so
Can't you see it? Don't you know?
I can't stand your alibis
Your tellin' lies, you drive me wild, yeah
I said, what are ya tryin' a do to my head?
Whatcha tryin' a do to my head?
Well, now I've gotta draw the line
'Cause you ain't gonna take my mind
What are ya tryin' a do to my head?
You better run, you better hide
You better leave from my sight
You better run, you better hide
You better leave from my sight
Let me go, yeah
I said go away, and leave me alone

Many times I?ve tried to tell you
Many times I?ve cried alone
Always I?m surprised how well you
Cut my feelings to the bone
Don?t wanna leave you really
I?ve invested too much time
To give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We?ve both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together
Maybe it?s a sign of weakness
When I don?t know what to say
Maybe I just wouldn?t know
What to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit?
Do we distort the facts?
Now, there?s no looking forward
Now, there?s no turning back
When you say
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We?ve both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together
Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best
To try and wash the palette clean
We can?t begin to know it
How much we really care
I hear your voice inside me
I see your face everywhere
Still you say
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We?ve both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We?ve both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together
We belong to the light

You really do know how to strut that stuff
You really do know how to act tough
Your body's just like a centerfold
A fantasy, anyone would want to hold
Stop using sex as a weapon
Stop using sex as a weapon
You know you're already my obsession
Stop using sex as a weapon
Love is more than a one way reflection
Stop using sex as a weapon
With looks that kill and a mind that's twisted
I don't know why I can't resist it
I tell myself, look the other way
When you want me to, I, I always stay
Stop using sex as a weapon
Stop using sex as a weapon
You know you're already my obsession
Stop using sex as a weapon
Love is more than a one way reflection
Stop using sex as a weapon
You play with desire like it was a toy
How much affection can you destroy?
You wrap my heart around your little finger
Sex, sex, sex as a weapon
Stop using sex as a weapon
Stop using sex
Stop using sex as a weapon
Stop using sex as a weapon
You know you're already my obsession
Stop using sex as a weapon
Love is more than a one way reflection
Stop using sex as a weapon
Stop using sex as a weapon
Stop using sex as a weapon
Stop using sex
Stop using sex as a weapon
Stop using sex
Stop using sex
Stop using sex

She's a personality
Enjoying popularity for making movies rated X
Posing for a magazine
Picture in a limousine, someone simulating sex
Never thought that she could be lonely with her vanity
Wasted days and lonely nights
Working for the sugar man, make each other happy man
'Cause satisfaction's guaranteed all night
Drinking champagne is the past time, makin' hot love is the main line
Money buys love at a wild time, makin' hot love is the main line
Hot love
She wakes up and breaks up
And wonders why love is unkind
She wakes up and makes up
And looks in the mirror to find
Drink champagne and diamond drinks
Fascinating bright gloom things
Dancing at the discotheques, starlet from the silver screen
See you in a midnight dream rated X
Drinking champagne is the past time, makin' hot love is the main line
Money buys love at a wild time, makin' hot love is the main line
Drinking champagne is the past time, makin' hot love is the main line

Hot love, c'mon give me hot love, satisfaction guaranteed

It was rainin' in heaven when you went down
You were better than the best
Stayed a notch above the rest
It was rainin' in heaven when you went down
Your mother cried, said, she told you so
But you touched the devil and couldn't let go, yeah
No one controls the outlaw
You wrote the story with the movie in mind
An angel face with a criminal side
Celebrated as the rebel kind the outlaw
I wonder if you knew they would
Turn your bad deeds into good
Paint you as a modern Robin hood
It's high noon, everywhere you go
And the guilt you feel is the weary soul, yeah
Of the outlaw
Hearts weren't made to be ruled
And rules weren't made to be broken
It's cold and lonely at the end of your life
And nobody sleeps 'til they turn out the lights
For the outlaw
Where you gonna go, where you gonna hide
It's cold and lonely for the outlaw
Where you gonna go, where you gonna hide

You've gotta admit
You paint a pretty picture
No one would ever suspect
You're so adept at the art
I hear the lonely lover sigh
You hide behind cosmetic eyes
Kiss them off with lipstick lies
Lipstick lies won't hide the truth
And they won't keep you waterproof
The victim of your vanity
You're the Picasso of pain
A fantasy in flesh tone
And though you're never the same
You're never far from the mark
Now and then you close your eyes
To see the heartbreak in disguise
Kiss them off with lipstick lies
Lipstick lies won't hide the truth
And they won't keep you waterproof
The victim of your vanity
You see just what you want to see
Who's to blame?
Love is love by any name
Who's to blame?
Lipstick lies won't hide the truth
And they won't keep you waterproof
The victim of your vanity
You see just what you want to see
Who's to blame?
Love is love by any name
Who's to blame?
Love is love by any name
Who's to blame?
Love is love by any name

Art attacks from subway walls
Sprayed like bullets into concrete face
Everywhere you turn, knuckles are crackin'
Suburban monkeys break ghetto habits
Body guns loaded for a dime
See 'em shed their celebrity skin for a life of trash and crime
Cool zero, you wanna know where the wild ones go
Cool zero, you wanna know where the bodies are burned
Crawlin' under every rock, you gotta see what time forgot
Cool zero, cool zero, cool zero
Nothin' stops the hit parade
Money makers will be shaken down
Everywhere you go, fingers are snappin'
Commercial prophets shout revolution
Throwin' dirt upon a good mans name
Watch 'em sell his soul for shoes and dance upon his grave
Cool zero, you wanna know where the wild ones go
Cool zero, you wanna know where the bodies are burned
Crawlin' under every rock, you gotta see what time forgot
Cool zero, cool zero, cool zero, cool zero, cool zero
Cool zero, cool zero
In this junk food civilization
They will eat and not think twice
For a dance in the dragons jaws
They will gladly pay the price an' eat their fill ohh, ohh hey
Headlines turn in violent day
Run like blood across the printed page
Everywhere you look, atoms are smashin'
Politicians smilin' for the camera
And the pictures make you wanna scream
Maybe baby, we'll just play it cool like Elvis at 19
Cool zero, you wanna know where the wild ones go
Cool zero, you wanna know where the bodies are burned
Crawlin' under every rock, you gotta see what time forgot
Cool zero, cool zero, cool zero, cool zero, cool zero

Now just because your pretty, and you think you're mighty wise
You tell me that you love me, then you roll those big brown eyes
When I saw you last week, your eyes were turnin' black
Go find the guy that beat you up, ask him to take you back
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can tell you've been out on a spree
Well it's plain that you're lyin'
When you say that you've been cryin'
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I used to spend my money, to make you look real sweet
I wanted to be proud of you when we walked down the street
Now don't ask me to dress you up, in satin and in silk
Your eyes look like two cherries in a glass of bottled milk
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can tell you've been out on a spree
Well it's plain that you're lyin'
When you say that you've been cryin'
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
So I guess our little romance has finally simmered down
You should join the circus, you make a real good clown
Your eyes look like a road map, I'm scared to smell your breath
You better shut your peepers before you bleed to death
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can tell you've been out on a spree
Well it's plain that you're lyin'
When you say that you've been cryin'
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me

You punch your way through a world of good intentions
People don't matter, all you want to do is win
And nothin' ever comes too fast for a man of means
'Cause all you want is everything
Well, all right
'Cause you're livin' the big life
Well, all right
'Cause you're livin' the big life
Whoa
Time finds you in a new green situation
Your Saviour fair fits you like a second skin
And nothin' ever comes too fast for a man of means
'Cause all you want is everything
Well, all right
'Cause you're livin' the big life
Well, all right
'Cause you're livin' the big life
Nothing can stop you now
No one can show you how
Nothing can touch you now
Well, all right
'Cause you're livin' the big life
Well, all right
'Cause you're livin' the big life
Nothing can stop you now
No one can show you how
And nothing can touch you now
Well, all right
'Cause you're livin' the big life
Well, all right
'Cause you're livin' the big life, yeah
Well, all right
'Cause you're livin' the big life
Well, all right
'Cause you're livin' the big life
Big life
Big life

Get Nervous...Get Nervous
Get Nervous...Get Nervous
Get Nervous...Get Nervous
Get Nervous...Get Nervous
Get Nervous...Get Nervous
I feel a little shaky, I can't control my nerves
I know you think I'm fakin', but can't you feel the
curves?
I swear to you I feel it, it scares me half to death
It gathers in my throat and it gathers up my breath
Anxiety - Got me on the run
Anxiety - Yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety - Can't get nothin' done
Anxiety - Spoils all the fun
I'm picking up the telephone, there's no one I can call
I need somebody bad tonight, can't find no sleep at all
I wish I could relax, I just can't stop my mind
I wish I could collapse but my body's not that kind
Anxiety - Got me on the run
Anxiety - Yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety - Can't get nothin' done
Anxiety - Spoils all the fun
Can't you hear my heartbeat, hear the way it sounds?
Can't you hear my heartbeat, Y' hear the way it pounds?
Just give me somethin' to slow it down, Yeah
Sometimes in the city, sometimes in my car
I pound on the windows like a bee inside a jar
Anxiety - Got me on the run
Anxiety - Yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety - Can't get nothin' done
Anxiety - Spoils all the fun
Anxiety - Got me on the run
Anxiety - Yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety - Can't get nothin' done
Anxiety - Spoils all the fun
Get Nervous...Get Nervous
Get Nervous...Get Nervous

------------------------
Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper, like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me?
When I needed to possess you
I hated you, I loved you too
Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights.
(Chorus)
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home
I'm so cold, let me in-a-your window
Oh it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine alot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I'm coming back love, cruel Heathcliff
My only one dream, my only master
Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side to put it right
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights (Chorus)
Oh let me have it, let me grab your soul away
Oh let me have it, let me grab your soul away

Movin' light, dream machinery
Crashin' in through my balcony, oh no
I shout down the line but could not get through
'Cause the telephone never rings when you want it to
Ooh, ooh, now you're wide awake in dreamland
Ooh, ooh, now you're wide awake in dreamland
Words of love take your breath away
Just a game that you like to play, oh no
Sleepwalking through a world of pain
Just another pretty face in the romeo rain
Ooh, ooh, now you're wide awake in dreamland
Ooh, ooh, now you're wide awake in dreamland
Chemical decisions never turn out like you planned
Now you're wide awake in dreamland
Now you're wide awake in dreamland
You know your paint by number, life does not excite you
It's a watercolor world that you're livin' in
And when you close your eyes at night
You're wonderin', just where you've been
You were young when you heard the call
Saw it all in your crystal ball and chains
A problem child who can pick and choose
When the sandman calls your name, you cannot refuse
Ooh, ooh, now you're wide awake in dreamland
Ooh, ooh, now you're wide awake in dreamland
Chemical decisions never turn out like you planned
Now you're wide awake in dreamland

Cold sweat, sweat it out
In the land of the midnight sun
Walk it off, sort it out, figure out
What you're running from
I'm all alone on the outside of town
It's a wild night at the carnival of souls
They're strong armed in neon and out of control
It's late at night and no one's around
Walking in the underground
Night calls and the sound marks
The start of the masquerade
Sirens flash, stains the glass
As you pass in the street parade
Loose change losers are double parked
Faces marked like cards at the bottom of the deck
Readin' the future, no one expects
They don't look up as they shuffle down
Walking in the underground
Walking in the underground
Walking in the underground
Cold sweat, sweat it out
In the land of the midnight sun
Walk it off, sort it out, figure out
What you're running from
Nobody's children, more lost than found
Play in the shadows like beautiful dolls
Backbit in moonlight, steppin' on stars
A silent dance to an empty sound
Walking in the underground
Walking in the underground
Ooh, walking in the underground
Yeah, walkin', ooh, ooh, ooh

I've seen all the downfalls
Temporary heroes, whoa
Misguided direction
Longing for perfection, whoa
Love and pain, only for the foolish
Once again, try to hide what's there inside
I'm the same, temporary hero
Who's to blame
Rituals and movements
Much too soon improvements
(Hide many scars)
Others and ours
Too late to discover
This untainted love is
(Destined to be)
A sad memory
Love and pain, only for the foolish
Once again try to hide what's there inside
I'm the same, temporary hero
Who's to blame
Love and pain, only for the foolish
Once again try to hide what's there inside
I'm the same, temporary hero
Who's to blame
Though the wounds are healing
Don't tell me the feeling's the same
Love and pain, only for the foolish
Once again, try to hide what's there inside
I'm the same, temporary hero
Who's to blame
Love and pain, only for the foolish
Once again, try to hide what's there inside
I'm the same, temporary hero
Who's to blame
Love and pain, only for the foolish
Once again, try to hide what's there inside
I'm the same, temporary hero
Who's to blame

Sweet Melissa, I often pray for you
I hope your suffering was brief
I hope the angels that watch over all little children
Came for you and took you someplace beautiful and sweet
Aahh..
Suffer The Little Children
Dear Melissa, I often think of you
Everytime I hold my baby in my arms
I say a prayer for your mama and daddy too
I know they miss you, miss you since you're gone
Suffer The Little Children
At the hands of evil men
No baby dolls, no teddy bears
No lullabies for them
Every mother's nightmare
Will it ever end
Suffer The Little Children
At the hands of evil men
You who done the deed better do some prayin' too
Better hope that God's forgivin' like they say
Cause somewhere, somebody keeps a list
Of the evils that men do
An' your name's right up there
I heard `em say
Aahh..
Suffer The Little Children
At the hands of evil men
No baby dolls, no teddy bears
No lullabies for them
Every mother's nightmare
Will it ever end
Suffer The Little Children
At the hands of evil men
They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget, all the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child
Because Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh
It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes, and then apologize
You're daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell off the swing
Because Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh
No, Hell Is For Children
Hell
Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell
Hell Is For Children
Hell
Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell
Hell Is For Children
Hell
Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell
Hell Is For Children
Hell Is For Children

I've been walking the streets in the evening
Racing through the human jungle at night
I'm so confused, my mind is indifferent
Hey, I'm so weak, won't somebody turn off the light
Electricity runs through the video
As I watch from the hole I call home
All the stony's are dancin' to the radio
And I got the world calling me up here tonight on the phone
CHORUS
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Some girl to thrill me and then go away
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Some girl that knows the meaning of, hey, hit the highway
Well, I'm not wiped out by this poolroom life I'm living
Gonna quit this job, go to school or head back home
Well, I'm not asking to be loved or be forgiven
I just can't face shakin' in this bathroom one more night alone
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Some girl that knows the meaning of, hey, hit the highway

S-U-C-C-E-S-S
That's the way we spell success
Will we get it, the answers yes
S-U-C-C-E-S-S
Small town boy, so clean he squeaks
Pressed and polished for the big time dreams
Got a letter from his mama, and a boyish grin
Close his eyes one minute, and it nearly did him in
Yeah
You know there's nothin' like having that wall against your back
To get your ass in gear, and your mind on track
When wheels start turnin', things start falling into place
You'll be suprised what you can do with some intelligence and taste
Yeah
Chorus:
Sometimes The Good Guys Finish First
Sometimes your best is all it takes
You know that, Sometimes The Good Guys Finish First
Sometimes The Good Guys, Finish First
Back door logic, turn your head around
Use the front door and avoid the crowd
They're trying to tell you that it can't be done
Beatin' big boys at their own game is half the fun,
hey hey
(Chorus 2x)
The Good Guys, the Good Guys, the Good Guys, Finish First
(Chorus)
Sometimes The Good Guys Finish First
Walkin' a straight line in reverse
You know that, Sometimes The Good Guys Finish First
Sometimes The Good Guys, Finish First

Man loves woman, man marries woman
Man and woman have children
Man leaves woman in search of self
Man realizes how important woman is and returns
He was crazy of course
From the first she must have known it
But still she went on with him
And she never once had shown it
And she took him off the streets
And she dried his tears of grieving
She listened to his visions
She believed in his believing
Ah, he was the sun burning bright and brittle
And she was the moon shining back his light a little
He was a shooting star she was softer and more slowly
He could not make things possible
But, she could make them holy, holy
He was dancing to some music
No one else had ever heard
He'd speak in unknown languages
She'd translate every word
And when the world was laughing
At his castles in the sky
She'd hold him in her body
And he once again would fly
Ah, he was the sun burning bright and brittle
And she was the moon shining back his light a little
He was a shooting star she was softer and more slowly
He could not make things possible
But, she could make them holy, holy
But she gave him a daughter and she gave him a son
She was a mother and a wife and a lover when the day was done
Well, he was too far gone for giving love what he'd offer in its stead
Was the knowledge she was the only thing that was not in his head
He took off East one morning in the rising sun's red glow
She knew he was going nowhere but of course she let him go
As she stood and watched him dwindle much too empty to be sad
He reappeared beside her and said, "You're all I've ever had"
Ah, he was the sun burning bright and brittle
And she was the moon shining back his light a little
He was a shooting star she was softer and more slowly
He could not make things possible
But, she could make them holy
Ah, he was the sun burning bright and brittle
And she was the moon shining back his light a little
He was a shooting star she was softer and more slowly
He could not make things possible

We're runnin' with the shadows of the night
So baby, take my hand, it'll be alright
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight, they'll come true in the end
You said it won't work, it's a cold world when you keep it all to yourself
I said you can't hide on the inside, all the pain you've ever felt
Run from my heart, but baby don't look back, 'cos we got nobody else
We're runnin' with the shadows of the night
So baby, take my hand, it'll be alright
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight, they'll come true in the end
You know sometimes it feels like it's all movin' way too fast
Use every alibi, in words you deny, that love ain't meant to last
You can cry tough baby, it's alright
You can let me down easy, but not tonight
We're runnin' with the shadows of the night
So baby, take my hand, it'll be alright
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight, they'll come true in the end
We're runnin' with the shadows of the night
So baby, take my hand, it'll be alright
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight, they'll come true in the end
And now the hands of time are standin' still
Midnight angel won't you say you will
We're runnin' with the shadows of the night
So baby, take my hand, it'll be alright
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight, they'll come true in the end
We're runnin' with the shadows of the night
So baby, take my hand, it'll be alright
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight, they'll come true in the end
We're runnin' with the shadows of the night
So baby, take my hand, it'll be alright

Never again, isn't that what you said?
You've been through this before
An' you swore this time you'd think with your head
No one, would ever have you again
And if takin' was gonna get done
You'd decide where and when
Just when you think you got it down
Your heart securely tied and bound
They whisper, Promises In The Dark
Armed and ready, you fought love battles in the night
But too many opponents made you weary of the fight
Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone in
All the warnings went off in your head
Still you had to give in
Just when you think you got it down
Resistance nowhere to be found
They whisper, Promises In The Dark
But promises, you know what they're for
It sounds so convincing, but you heard it before
Cause talk is cheap and you gotta be sure
And so you put up your guard
And you try to be hard
But your heart says try again
You desperately search for a way to conquer the fear
No line of attack has been planned to fight back the tears
Where brave and restless dreams are both won and lost
On the edge is where it seems it's well worth the cost
Just when you think you got it down
Your heart in pieces on the ground

I hear your heartbeat but you're never there.
Like a mirage you haunt me everywhere.
All day long I burn for you
lonely in the night.
I tried to live alone but I just can't get it right.
You know that this town's like a painted desert.
Dead heat
movin' in the city.
I'm lost in a painted desert
in a painted desert without you.
I've done some thinking now that you're not here.
I know your reasons and they're still not clear.
All I'm sure of is what I got to lose.
I tried to be a better loser but it's just no use.
You know that this town's like a painted desert. . . .
Walkin' the sundown
I search in vain.
Waitin' for the wind that whispers out your name.
Through concrete canyons echoing a world of other faces.
No direction looks like home
where is my oasis?

Once there was a man, and he lived to sing the lions song
As he traveled on road of hope
One Love is the light, shining over every mountain top
It will lead us to the higher ground
One day every heart will beat strong against the night
Let it be done right now
Once there was a man, and his words became a song of love
And his song became the golden dream
One Love is the light, shining over everyone that believes
It will lead us to the higher ground
One day every eye will see truth before the light
Let it be done right now
Some wait, so long
Because our love is strong
This hard road traveled on
Will lead us home, forever
Hear the lion's song, voices cryin' like a desert wind
Yeh he's gone unto his father's land
Afrika tonight, for we truly are one in our hearts
Colors woven in the golden dream
One day every eye will see truth before the light
Let it be done right now
One day every voice will speak strong against the night
Let us be one right now
So let it be
We are the children of a thousand days
We are the people of the hard rain
We are the children of a thousand days
We are the people of the hard rain

This is me
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands love is a battlefield
Woah, we are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
You're making me to go, you're begging me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way, or am I the best thing you've had?
Believe me, believe me, I can't tell you why
But I'm trapped by your love, and I'm chained to your side
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
And if I'm losing control will you turn me away or touch me deep inside?
And before this gets old, will it still feel the same?
There's no way this could die
But if we get much closer, I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders, you'll need me to hold
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long, both of us knowing

Just like every cross you ever carried, every badge you ever wore
Every vow you've ever taken, every oath you ever swore
Every kiss you've ever stolen, every moment that you waste
Everything you ever loved and all you've come to hate
It's a great temptation in your hour of need
But there's no shortcut to salvation
Searchin' for the kingdom key
Just like every vision you neglected, every dream you left to die
Every hope that you rejected, every truth that was a lie
Every road you ever traveled, everyone you turned away
Everything you ever loved and all that you betrayed
It's a great temptation in your hour of need
But there's no shortcut to salvation
Searchin' for the kingdom key
And the light before him was all that he could see
Like fingerprints on the hands of glory wrapped 'round the rosary
His love is like a chain that would not set him free, would not set him free
Lonely soul on a mission of mercy, hey yeah
Just like every cross you ever carried, every badge you ever wore
Every vow you've ever taken, every oath you ever swore
Everything you ever loved and all you've come to hate
It's a great temptation in your hour of need
But there's no shortcut to salvation
Searchin' for the kingdom key
It's a great temptation in your hour of need
But there's no shortcut to salvation

Isn't it a tuff life?
You race your Mercedes Benz through the park after midnight
Hopin' for a few cheap thrills
There's always someone around to lift your spirits up
All along just pumpin' up your attitude
Don't believe a word they say
'Cause it's never true
Isn't it a tuff life?
You got a tuff life
If you can't have it, then you don't want it
You don't need no steady job
Well, isn't it a tuff life?
You got a tuff life
You thought you'd move to Jamaica
So you packed up your bags and headed south to get an even tan
But, you didn't count on rain
You were perfect for the script
So you bought the best selling novel
Knowing that you couldn't miss
But you never got the part
Isn't it a tuff life?
You got a tuff life
If you can't have it, then you don't want it
You don't need no steady job
Well, isn't it a tuff life?
It don't get any easier
And you know, sometimes it can get pretty ruff
Well, isn't it a tuff life?
You got a tuff life
Isn't it a tuff life?
You got a tuff life
Isn't it a tuff life?
You've got such a tuff life
Isn't it a tuff life?
You got a tuff life
Isn't it a tuff life?

This bloody road remains a mystery.
This sudden darkness fills the air.
What are we waiting for ?
Won't anybody help us ?
What are we waiting for ?
We can't afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
This shattered dream you cannot justify.
We're gonna scream until we're satisfied.
What are we running for ? We've got the right to be angry.
What are we running for when there's nowhere we can run to anymore ?
We can't afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
And with the power of conviction there is no sacrifice.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
Won't anybody help us ?
What are we running for when there's nowhere
nowhere we can run to anymore ?
We can't afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
And with the power of conviction there is no sacrifice.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
We can't afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
We can't afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy.

They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget, all the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child
Because Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell

Your love is like a tidal wave, spinning over my head
Drownin' me in your promises, better left unsaid
You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be
You're a Heartbreaker
Dream Maker, Love Taker
Don't you mess around with me!
You're a Heartbreaker
Dream Maker, Love Taker
Don't you mess around - NO NO NO!
Your love has set my soul on fire, burnin' out of control
You taught me the ways of desire, now its takin' its toll
You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be
You're a Heartbreaker
Dream Maker, Love Taker
Don't you mess around with me!
You're a Heartbreaker
Dream Maker, Love Taker
Don't you mess around - NO NO NO!
You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be
You're a Heartbreaker

Don't you mess around with me!
You're a Heartbreaker
Dream Maker, Love Taker
Don't you mess around with me!
You're a Heartbreaker

Yesterday's a by-line
Words upon a page
Tomorrow is a deadline
Sudden and it's strange
Hard to believe
You ever would leave, but you did
Hard to believe
You ever would leave
Nowhere to go, can't sit still
Look for a motive in the time that I kill
Thinking of ways to fill up my empty days
To fill up my empty days
Hard to believe
You'd leave when I need you
I need you so, it's hard to believe
Hard to believe
You'd leave when I need you
I need you so, it's hard to believe
Love is such a fine line
The finest line I've known
But sorrow is no lifeline
When you're all alone
Hard to believe
You ever would leave, but you did
Hard to believe
You ever would leave
Can't sleep a wink, up all night
Truth hurts, you know it cuts like a knife
Thinking of ways to fill up my empty life
To fill up my empty life
Hard to believe
You'd leave when I need you
I need you so, it's hard to believe
Hard to believe
You'd leave when I need you
I need you so, it's hard to believe
Hard to believe
You'd leave when I need you
I need you so, it's hard to believe
Hard to believe
You'd leave when I need you

They were so ecstatic when the letter arrived
A certified genius at the age of five
They planned his future so carefully
He was everything they'd hoped he'd be
He was a model child, a devoted son
Loved and admired by everyone
He played out every role, a "T.V. Hero"
He lived his life in a video fantasy
He was good at school, never failed a grade
They gave him hopes and dreams and taught him not to hate
He had rules he learned to break for fun
Now he's hidin', 'cause there's fingerprints on the gun
Why'd ya have to do it, Evil Genius?
Was it justified in your mind?
Why'd ya put us through it, Evil Genius?
Was it justified in your mind, any time you held a grudge?
Was it something said that pushed you over the line?
Your best interests were in our minds
You kept it so well hidden, we never knew
No one ever expected anything like this from you
Why'd ya have to do it, Evil Genius?
Was it justified in your mind?
Why'd ya put us through it, Evil Genius?
Was it justified in your mind, any time you held a grudge?
Why'd ya have to do it, Evil Genius?
Was it justified in your mind?
Why'd ya put us through it, Evil Genius?
Was it justified in your mind, any time you held a grudge?
Why'd ya have to do it, Evil Genius?
Was it justified in your mind?
Why'd ya put us through it, Evil Genius?

Evening, every night you come and you find me
And you always remind me that my baby's gone
Evening, you got me deeply in your power
Every minute seems just like an hour, now that my baby's gone
Shadows fall upon the wall, that's the time I miss your kiss most of all
Even though I try, how can I go on
Oh evening, let me sleep till glow of dawn is breakin'
I don't care if I don't awaken, since my baby's gone
(Solo)
Shadows fall upon the wall, that's the time I miss your kiss most of all
Even though I try, how can I go on
Evening, let me sleep till glow of dawn is breakin'
I don't care if I don't awaken, since my man is gone

Standin' in the doorway, forgot to say one thing
You've always had the power to lift my wings
I know I shouldn't need so much, and we could say goodbye
Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flyin' high
We can start over darlin' it's clear, love is what brought you here
Chorus:
Don't walk away, oh, to see if I'll follow
Don't walk away, victory's hollow
Been that road, it didn't take us home
Turn around, you won't be alone
Somethin' brings us together, keeps tearin' us apart
The wounded are much wiser, we'll just take it from the start
We can start over darlin' it's clear, love is what brought you here
chorus
(Solo)
We could start over darlin' it's clear, love is what brought you here
chorus repeats 3x

I was alright for a while
I could smile for a while
But when I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say hello
Oh, you wished me well
And you couldn't tell
That I'd been
Crying over you
Crying over you
When you said so long
You left me standing all alone
Alone and crying
Crying, crying, I'm crying
It's hard to understand
That the touch of your hand
Could start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, oh, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
But darling, what can I do
'Cause you don't love me
And I'll always be
Crying over you
Crying over you
And now that you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying

(Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland)
(Originally performed by the Four Tops)
I see a house, a house of stone
A lonely house, 'cos now you're gone
Seven rooms, that's all it is, seven rooms of gloom
I live with emptiness, without your tenderness
You took the dream I had for us, and turned that dream into dust
I watch a phone that never rings, I watch a door that never rings
I need you back into my life and turn this darkness into light
I'm all alone in this house, turn this house into a home
I need your touch to comfort me, your tender tender arms that once held me
Without your love, your love inside
This house is just a place to run and hide
Seven rooms, that's all it is, seven rooms of gloom
I live with emptiness, without your tenderness
Don't make me live from day to day, watching a clock that ticks away
Another day, another way, another reason for me to say
I need you here, here with me, I need you, darlin', desperately
I'm all alone, all alone in this house that's not a home
I miss your love I once have known, I miss your kiss that was my very very own
Empty silence surrounds me, lonely walls, they stare
Seven rooms, that's all it is, seven rooms of gloom
I live with emptiness, without your tenderness
And all the windows are painted black, I'll wait right here 'til you get back
I keep waitin' and waitin', 'til your face again I see
(I want you back now) I keep waitin' and waitin', I want you back now
(I want you back now) I keep waitin' and waitin', c'mon back now
I keep waitin' and waitin' and waitin', waitin', waitin', waitin'
(I want you back now) C'mon back now
