Angelina
(Ruby Paul Original)
You just whistle and she comes running
Angelina, take her or leave her
Swinging her bag across her shoulder
Acting like she’s five years older
She laughs at your jokes when they’re not funny
Squeezes your arm and calls you ‘honey’
CHORUS
All over town I’ve seen her just lately
Strutting about, it’s driving me crazy
What to do, she’s sweet on you
Send her a text, it might make me feel better
Tell her to keep her hands off my fella
What to do, she’s sweet on you
When we meet up for a coffee
Seems like you don’t wanna talk to me
Then I see her in the corner
Angelina, smirking all over
Thinks she looks sexy when she wears a low cut top
Blowing out the smoke from a cigarette
CHORUS
All over town I’ve seen her just lately
Strutting about, it’s driving me crazy
What to do, she’s sweet on you
Send her a text, it might make me feel better
Tell her to keep her hands off my fella
What to do, she’s sweet on you
Says she used to model for a fashion magazine
Got fed up it was such a shallow scene
Seems to think she’s got designer class
Shame that white skirt shows off her fat arse
CHORUS
All over town I’ve seen her just lately
Strutting about, it’s driving me crazy
What to do, she’s sweet on you
Send her a text, it might make me feel better
Tell her to keep her hands off my fella
Guardian Angel
1.Around the wheels are turning
Worried voices murmering
Someone runs and raises the alarm
Over me are peering
Anxious faces leering
But I know that I won’t come to any harm
Chorus There’s a guardian angel smiling overhead
A guardian angel at the bottom of my bed
So patiently breathing life into my sleep
A guardian angel watching over me.
2. No child alive can be luckier than me
I travelled to the end and nearly died
And now these smiling faces remind me of the places
I lived and laughed and played and danced and cried
Chorus There’s a guardian angel smiling overhead
A guardian angel at the bottom of my bed
So patiently breathing life into my sleep
A guardian angel watching over me
Bridge The darkness came and wrapped me up so tight
I never thought I’d see the light again
But suddenly I wake and look around
Forbidden Fruit
Forbidden game, forbidden match, forbidden suit
Forbidden win, forbidden prize, forbidden loot
You’re reeled in so tight, when you take the first bite
Hooked on the smell, hooked on the taste
Forbidden fruit
Forbidden plans, forbidden schemes, forbidden hopes
Forbidden pleasures are the ones we love the most
I wait for the thrill of each moment we steal
Hooked on the smell, hooked on the taste
Forbidden fruit
Blinded by wishes, I dream of your kisses
You come to me deep in the night
Gently caress me and slowly undress me
Under the silver moonlight
Forbidden sighs, forbidden cries, forbidden haste
Forbidden touch, longed for so much until it aches
I trembling gasp for that sweetness to last
Hooked on the smell, hooked on the taste
Forbidden fruit
Hooked on the smell, hooked on the taste
SOMETHING STRONG
Feeling tired when the long day’s over
Get back home and light a fire
Sit and watch the red flames flicker
You and I unwind together
Share the secrets of our day
Growing closer in every way
CHORUS
Something old, something new
Something borrowed and something blue
Tie the Knot, forever true
Something strong, that’s me and you
Bring good luck to see us through
With something old and something new
Grandma’s ring of antique gold
Brings precious love a century old
In my hair I’ll wear something new
A snow white daisy wet with dew
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Something borrowed, must be time
Time to live this life of mine
No time to sit here feeling blue
I’m gonna spend my life with you
CHORUS
CODA
Feel the bonds between us two
Something strong, something strong, something strong
Broken Promises
Ruby Paul Original
Take the key to my heart
You can see inside
Take a look around
I’ve got nothing to hide
Take this bleeding heart
Open it wide
All you’ll find are broken promises
It’s so empty where the heart is
All that you’ll find are broken promises
Tabernacle of gold
Shimmering light
Snowy wings of a dove
Disappear in the night
Take this bleeding heart
Open it wide
All you’ll find are broken promises
It’s so empty where the heart is
All that you’ll find are broken promises
See the fading rose
Wilting and sighing
Let the petals fall
Tasting like wine
Take this aching heart
Slowing dying
Brighter Blue
Ruby Paul jazz Original
Looking to the day
I don’t wanna run aground
Never wanna turn around
When I’m on my way
When I’m on my way
Shadows cast a darker hue
Looking for a brighter blue
Then I’m on my way
The sky’s above me
And I’m flying high
No walls confine me
The wind’s behind me
I’m floating free
No cares can find me
You always used to say
A rainy day would never last
All the clouds are drifting past
When I’m on my way
When I’m on my way
Stardust fading in my eyes
Waiting for the sun to rise
Billy
Ruby Paul Original
Never again I say never again
I took you back once, won’t forgive you again
Oh Billy, you deceived me
Never again, I say never again
I trusted you once I won’t trust you again
Oh Billy, you betrayed me
CHORUS All the fun we had
All the friends we shared
All the love I gave
You just threw it all away
And it’s never again I say never again
I won’t be a fool for your loving again
Oh Billy
Never again I say never again
My life is in rags, torn apart at the seams
Oh Billy
You deceived me
Never again I say never again
I gave you my heart, leave me all that remains
Oh Billy
It’s like you’ve robbed me
CHORUS All the fun we had
All the friends we shared
All the love I gave
You just threw it all away
And it’s never again I say never again
I won’t be a fool for your loving again
Oh Billy
You tell me that you love me, Billy
Tell me you still want me, Billy
Take the pleading look out of your eyes
I tell you that it’s over, Billy
We can go no further, Billy
Nothing you can say will change my mind…
CHORUS All the fun we had
All the friends we shared
All the love I gave
You just threw it all away
And it’s never again I say never again
I won’t be a fool for your loving again
Oh Billy
Baby it Takes Two
1. I’m done with trying
Done with crying
Teardrops make a river where they fall
I’m through complaining
It’s all in vain when
I might as well go tell it to the wall
Chorus
Baby it takes two
Two hearts were meant for loving
Two arms were meant for loving
It takes two
What more can I do?
We could make it last forever
If we worked at it together, me and you
Baby it takes two
2. A love so mellow
Become quite hollow
A single glass is lying on the floor
Once full a plenty
Now drained quite empty
I haven’t got the strength to reach for more

Kisses underneath the mistletoe
Tinsel on a tree
Christmas songs of Santa
Bringing gifts for you and me
The coloured lights all twinkle
And the sleigh bells start to ring
When we’re together for Christmas
CHORUS
Together for Christmas
With friends and family
Together for Christmas
All around the Christmas tree
Together for Christmas
With fun and games to play
We’ll drink a toast to Christmas

‘Til we get to twenty-four
Then just above the fire
We’ll hang our stockings on the wall
We’re so exited we can’t wait
‘Til Santa comes to call
When we’re together for Christmas
LITTLE BOX OF DREAMS
Sometimes at night as I sit by myself
And reflect on a long busy day
I think of a little brown box on the shelf
Where I locked all my dreams away
CHORUS
D is for dancing
R for romance
E joins with
A in each tender embrace
M is for music
S is for songs
They’re all in my Little Box of Dreams
The sides have grown dusty through all of these years
It’s rarely been touched day by day
The hinges are rusty, they creak as I try
To open my box with the key
CHORUS
BRIDGE
It rarely comes down from its place on the shelf
But I take a look inside when I’m all by myself

You’ve Stolen my Heart
1.Grapefruits and oranges in the pictures on the wall
Old keys and photographs on the table in the hall
Remember as you walk away
You can’t leave it all behind
When you look back at what you took
You’ll be surprised at what you’ll find
CHORUS
You’ve stolen my heart, stolen my heart
I just closed my eyes and you crept inside
Like a thief in the dark
You’ve stolen my heart, stolen my heart
You’re playing pretend, if you think it can end
Now you’ve stolen my heart
2. Clean shirts and underwear in the suitcase that you took
Wipe away the memories as you start another book
Remember as you walk away
You can’t leave it all behind
When you look back at what you took
You’ll be surprised at what you’ll find
Chorus
You took more than you bargained for… took the biggest part of me…
However far you try to stray… I will never set you free…

Like a thief in the dark
You’ve stolen my heart, stolen my heart
You’re playing pretend, if you think it can end

Searching the shore for somewhere to hide
Toes touch the water, feeling so brave
Riding along on the crest of a wave
CHORUS
I’m like a yo-yo yo-yo spinning around
Can’t get my feet on the ground
I’m like a yo-yo yo- yo spinning around

Blinking the sunlight out of my eye
Picking a daisy and twirling it round
Counting to ten as the petals fall down

I’m like a yo-yo yo-yo spinning around
Can’t get my feet on the ground
I’m like a yo-yo yo-yo spinning around
You’ve got my heart in your hands

With a Little Help From the Scbu
1. Didn’t you come a little bit too soon?
Couldn’t it wait until another moon?
But now you’re here, let’s raise a cheer
Such tiny fingers, tiny little toes
On your face, a button for a nose
Right out the blue, the gift of you
Chorus Such a tiny bear, needing special care
That’s what we’ll give to you
Nurse you day and night,
Keep you strong and bright
With a little help from the SCBU (rpt)
2. Didn’t you make your mum and daddy proud?
Kicking your legs and crying clear and loud?
Like a bird in spring, you’ll spread your wings
Every day you grow a little more
We’re biding our time, ‘cos you’re worth waiting for
You’re coming on, it won’t be long (chorus)
Bridge Sometimes when you laugh and play…. I remember the fragile child
What Are You Gonna Do?
Ruby Paul Original
Refrain
What are you gonna do
Now that your baby’s gone ?
What are you gonna say
Now that she’s gone away?
Look out the window, what do I see
Mulberry bush turned into a tree
There in our yard
Come rain or shine
You promised me
That you would always be mine
Refrain
What are you gonna do
Now that your baby’s g one ?
What are you gonna say
Now that she’s gone away
So many years have come and gone
And we just let things drift along
I never hoped for something new
Always making do with a worn out shoe
Baby I’ve just gotta tell you
I don’t know when , I don’t know how
Baby I’ve just gotta tell you
The reason why, we’ll say goodbye
Refrain
What are you gonna do
Now that your baby’s gone ?
What are you gonna say
We Can’t Wait For Easter Eggs
Ruby Paul original
We don’t want candy in a jar
We don’t want chocolate in a bar
We don’t want jellies, don’t want sweets
We just want an Easter treat
Easter eggs, easter eggs
A perfect treat for hungry kids
We can’t wait for easter eggs
Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy
Easter eggs
They’re shaped just like a perfect egg
Filled with air or sweets instead
They’re never round and never square
They’re good to eat and good to share
They’re wrapped in shiny paper
Of silver, gold and red
And boxed in different sizes
Small, medium and big!
Easter eggs, easter eggs
A perfect treat for hungry kids
We can’t wait for easter eggs
Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy
Walking By Your Side
So many years this road I’ve travelled
My loving friends were by my side
But now my feet are at the crossroads
And it’s here our paths divide
Chorus
And when you’re sad or feeling lonely
Just keep my memory in your mind
And when you glance behind your shoulder
You’ll find me walking by your side
Chorus
So many lives have touched me deeply
So many loved ones I’ve embraced
So many years my light was burning
But now that flame has burnt away
Chorus
So with the dear ones gone before me
In heaven now we’ll all abide
Keep us ever in your memory
Your loved ones on the other side
Velvet Glove
Ruby Paul Original
Have you ever felt the touch of a velvet glove?
Could it ever heal the pain of a broken heart?
When the darkest night
Returns to morning light
I’ll wake to find you lying in my arms
CHORUS
I can’t say that I love you
I can’t say that I don’t care
All I can say, I really want you here today
I can’t say that I love you
All I can say is when you’re near
Just remember when you touch me
Touch me with a velvet glove
I’m longing for the cool of the summer rain
Won’t you come on down and wash away my tears
I can’t feel the pain
With the touch of the summer rain
Can feel my heartbeat pounding once again… CHORUS
I can’t say that I love you
I can’t say that I don’t care
All I can say, I really want you here to stay
I can’t say that I love you
All I can say is when you’re near
Just remember when you touch me,
Touch me with a velvet glove
D’you know a loving touch can take away that lonely feeling?
Fill the emptiness that’s tearing me apart?
D’you know a loving touch is something that I still believe in?
Touch me with your velvet glove
And heal my broken heart… CHORUS
I can’t say that I love you
I can’t say that I don’t care
All I can say, I really want you here to stay
I can’t say that I love you
All I can say is when you’re near
Just remember when you touch me,
Turn the Key
Let’s take a chance and love again
You know the time has come
Let’s take a chance
And step right in
We can start again
So take my hand and don’t look back
And don’t be scared to fall
I’ll hold you close and ever keep you
Safe within these walls
TURN THE KEY, TURN THE KEY
TOGETHER YOU AND ME, TURN THE KEY
Let’s take a chance and love again
So wrap your arms round mine
Let’s take our chance of happiness
It may never come again
You bring me such a gentle love
and I feel it growing strong
Like a tree our roots entwine
We can make this place our home
TURN THE KEY, TURN THE KEY
TOGETHER YOU AND ME, TURN THE KEY
You say you’re gonna think it through …I’ve heard that tale before
I know we’re gonna make it through …and walk right through the door
TURN THE KEY, TURN THE KEY
Shiny New Shoes
Standing in the mall feeling six feet tall
Got my carrier bags…
Tucked under my arm, just can’t wait to get them home
Gonna look like a real Princess…
When I wear that gold dress with those high heeled shoes
It’s gonna turn my life around,
gonna make me feel like new…
CHORUS
Got me a pair of Shiny New Shoes
Black patent leather with high kicking heels
Rosy red toenails come peeping through
Now I’ve found my feet, I’m gonna walk out on you
Standing in the hall only thirty years old
Thinking where has life gone
Sick of making do with a worn out shoe
And that worn out bit of love you thought would do
I can’t wait to make you gasp when you see me kick ass-
Baby, here I go, you know I got the last laugh
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Pull on the straps and fasten tight
Shiny shoes can dance all night
Swing my hips and move my feet
Stay on the dance floor, feel the heat
Ooh, Ooh… I know I deserve me a better man,
Someone to take me in his arms…
and really love this woman…
Shaking like a Leaf
Every time I speak, I start to stutter
Never felt embarrassment like this
The things I long to say I’ll never utter,
The words I meant are dying on my lips
CHORUS
Shaking like a leaf on a tree
Bending like a branch in the breeze
Every time you’re near me, I freeze
Shaking like a leaf
Suddenly my senses grow numb
I become all fingers and thumbs
I can’t speak, shaking like a leaf, shaking like a leaf
I am feeling sick with the emotion
If only I could speak to tell you how
When you’re near you send my senses reeling
But I could never dare to let you know
PRECIOUS CARGO
1. It’s an unfamiliar journey
I’ve never been this way before
Like a boat without an anchor
I’m just drifting from the shore
And tiny wings are fluttering
It feels like butterflies
Our baby dear, will soon be here
And I need your strong hands by my side
CHORUS
We’ll sail the ocean
Through waters wide and deep
We’ll make the journey
Wherever it may lead
We’ll sail together
And never feel alone
We’ll bring this precious cargo
Safely home
2. Look at all the other people
Waving from the shore
Wishing luck to both of us
They can’t help any more
Far out to sea just you and me
We’re sailing far from land
In a few weeks more, we’ll reach the shore
Bring our baby home, just like we planned
CHORUS
We’ll sail the ocean
Through waters wide and deep
We’ll make the journey
Wherever it may lead
We’ll sail together
And never feel alone
We’ll bring this precious cargo
Safely home
This cargo is so special
It’s gonna need all our care
And the journey will be so much better
If this precious load is one we share
CHORUS
We’ll sail the ocean
Through waters wide and deep
We’ll make the journey
Wherever it may lead
We’ll sail together
And never feel alone
We’ll bring this precious cargo
MIRROR MIRROR
Ruby Paul Original
Stockings in ladders, my hair hangs in tatters
I’ve chipped all my nail polish, scuffed my best shoes
I can’t be late, what a worry, quarter to eight, better hurry
I just don’t know where the hell to begin
Mirror Mirror, tell me what you see
I see a girl, that girl is me
Mirror, I’m as anxious as can be
And I feel like the world’s come crashing down on me
Mirror. Mirror, I feel such a fright
And I’m going out with him tonight
Don’t worry, honey, it will be alright
We’ll get you looking so beautiful
Spilt all my coffee
Can’t find my best jewellery
Got dirt in my fingernails
Spots on my chin
This needs a shake up
I’m gonna reach for my make up
I guess I’ll just do the best job that I can
These two red lips tell the sad story of the loves I’ve lost and found
But then a voice speaks from the mirror, saying this time,
love won’t let you down
Take extra care combing down my brown hair
Put some black on my lashes and gold round the lids
Two eyes of green smiling right back at me
Oh, the girl in the mirror is beautiful
Mirror Mirror, tell me what you see
I see a girl, that girl is me
Mirror, I’m as anxious as can be
And I feel like the world’s come crashing down on me
Mirror. Mirror, I feel such a fright
And I’m going out with him tonight
Don’t worry, honey, it will be alright
Miracle Baby
Through all of those nine long months
We waited in such suspense
We longed for the first embrace
To hold you and keep you safe
Now we look at what we’ve made
How our wonder grows
The softness of your newborn skin
Your tiny little toes
CHORUS
Miracle Baby, that’s what we’ll call you
Miracle Baby, how we adore you
For daddy and mummy, it’s like a dream come true
The miracle of you
Through all of those long, long years
I faced all my darkest fears
So many times we tried
So many times I cried
Through the tunnel long and dark
We could only sigh
’Til like the brightest shaft of light
There came your newborn cry
CHORUS
Miracle Baby, that’s what we’ll call you
Miracle Baby, how we adore you
For daddy and mummy, it’s like a dream come true
The miracle of you
We never dreamed that loving you would bring us so much joy
This little bundle in our arms, a tiny girl or boy
CHORUS
Miracle Baby, that’s what we’ll call you
Miracle Baby, how we adore you
For daddy and mummy, it’s like a dream come true
Make it Through Together
1.Lately there’s something been weighing on your mind
Taking up your time, pulling you far away
Wondering and worry are creasing up your brow
Making your face frown, turn away from me
Chorus
Baby I know it’s true
Lately you’re feeling blue
But baby, bad times won’t last forever
Whenever the going gets tough
Some loving will smooth out the rough
Baby, we’ll make it though together
2. Taking comfort in a sorrow shared
Showing that we care, helping each other
Maybe tomorrow the sky won’t seem so grey
We’ll make it through the day
Loving each other
Chorus
I won’t hold you back, when you start to cry
I’ll wipe away the tears from your eyes
Jubilee
(Ruby Paul kid’s song)
I remember, I remember well
When I was just a kid at Hob Moor School
Playing football, in the junior yard
Letting off steam when we’d been working hard
Those memories in so many ways
Still seem like yesterday
But twenty years have come and gone
Now I’m coming back to say
It’s a JUBILEE, a JUBILEE
We’re celebrating a JUBILEE
We’re looking back on all our memories
At Hob Moor Community Primary
It’s a JUBILEE, a JUBILEE
A celebration for you and me
Why don’t you clap your hands and sing along
And we’ll all join together for the JUBILEE SONG
Remember walking in a crocodile
Lining up for dinner in single file
Writing stories and learning maths
Picking daisies on the summer grass
Those happy days in so many ways
Still seem like yesterday
But twenty years have come and gone
That’s why we’ll celebrate today
It’s a JUBILEE, a JUBILEE
We’re celebrating a JUBILEE
We’re looking back on all our memories
At Hob Moor Community Primary
It’s a JUBILEE, a JUBILEE
A celebration for you and me
Why don’t you clap your hands and sing along
And we’ll all join together for the JUBILEE SONG
Let’s remember all the children
Of today and yesterday
Let’s be proud of how they’ve grown up strong
Through all their work and play
It’s a JUBILEE, a JUBILEE
We’re celebrating a JUBILEE
We’re looking back on all our memories
At Hob Moor Community Primary
It’s a JUBILEE, a JUBILEE
A celebration for you and me
Why don’t you clap your hands and sing along
Joseph’s song
(Traditional tune ‘Sweet Lass of Richmond Hill’)
Ruby Paul original
To all assembled company we pray you now be still
And hearken ye both one and all unto the tale we’ll tell
Of Joseph here, our father dear
And what his life doth bring
Of Joseph here, now eighty years
Of Joseph we do sing
Refrain
Of Joseph we do sing, of Joseph we do sing
Of Joseph here now eighty years
Of Joseph we do sing
This child was born of humble home in 1925
To do his best and study hard
Young Joseph he did strive
A scholarship to grammar school then university
He soon excelled in science and as captain of rugby
Refrain
As captain of rugby, as captain of rugby
Although we scarce believe it now as captain of rugby
He very soon did graduate to undertake his work
And to the Capital he came to pursue his research
An enquiring mind, he longed to find
The answer to his test
He came to the conclusion that
Young Shirley was the best
Refrain
Young Shirley was the best, young Shirley was the best
He came to the conclusion that
Young Shirley was the best
They very soon got married and then had a family
And within just six years were
born the brothers, one, two, three
The first was Paul, then Simon and Phil
To mum and dad’s delight
Such bonny boys brought many joys
Til they began to fight
Refrain
Til they began to fight, til they began to fight
Such bonny boys brought many joys
Til they began to fight
And then in time came down the line
Two sisters Jane and Mary
With brothers three, a family
The clan was soon complete
Five girls and boys, with lots of noise
Begin to shout and sing
When you are near, it’s hard to hear
Your voice above the din
Refrain
Your voice above the din, your voice above the din
When you are near, it’s hard to hear
Your voice above the din
Now we’ve grown, we’ve brought our own
To join the growing family
Husbands and wives and grandchildren
aged nineteen down to one
And now we’ve come, we’ve scarce begun
To celebrate your birthday
So with great cheer, let’s get a beer
Because the night is young
Refrain
Because the night is young, because the night is young
So with great cheer, let’s get a beer
I Want You To Stay
It’s growing dark, it’s getting late
The lamp lights up your face
It should be time for you to go
I think I’ll stay and sit awhile
But how I want to hold you in my arms
Won’t you hold me, hold me in your arms now
CHORUS
It may be wrong, or it may be right
But oh, how I just want to hold you tonight
It may last forever
Or it may fade away
All that I know is I want you to stay
I see the lamp light up your face
Yet somehow I can’t meet your gaze
Our shadows dancing in the night
Flicker like memories
And how I want to feel you in my arms
Won’t you hold me, hold me in your arms
CHORUS
It’s growing dark, it’s getting late
The lamp lights up your face
On your lips whispers of a kiss
In your eyes promises of tenderness
And how I wanna feel you in my arms
I Still Believe
Ruby Paul original
I still need that special love you gave me
I know no other kind of love will do
You’re the only one I ever needed
The only one I dream about is you
But you went away
Said you couldn’t stay
Now I hope and pray
That you’ll come back again some day
And I still believe that we’ll get back together
That’s the only way I can make it through
I still believe that we can last forever
After all I still believe in me and you
I still wear the locket that you gave me
Your memory in my heart still beating strong
I still believe the promise that you made me
When you told me I was the only one
But you went away
With another girl
Left me all alone
While you were making love to her
And I still believe that we’ll get back together
That’s the only way I can make it through
I still believe that we can last forever
I hate It
(Ruby Paul Original)
D’you know how I hate driving in the dark
Endless empty miles knotched on the clock
D’you know how much I hate that lousy show
The lonely heart’s slot on the radio
LOUSY NIGHTS spent on the telephone
LONELY NIGHTS spent sleeping on my own
It’s hard to play your fiddle with no bow
D’you know how much I hate it when you go
D’you know how I hate walking in the rain
When the mist paints pictures on my windowpane
D’you know how much I hate this lousy fall
D’you know how much I’d give to change it all
LOUSY NIGHTS spent on the telephone
LONELY NIGHTS spent sleeping on my own
It’s hard to play your fiddle with no bow
D’you know how much I hate it when you go
I don’t think I can wait til winter’s through
With a little hope of spring all green and new
I’m gonna paint the town when you come home
But I guess for now it’s breakfast on my own
LOUSY NIGHTS spent on the telephone
LONELY NIGHTS spent sleeping on my own
It’s hard to play your fiddle with no bow
I confess
Ruby Paul Original
Round and around
My head is spinning
It’s all going round in my mind
I pray to the lord
For I’ve been sinning
Oh God help me please
I beg for release…
I CONFESS,
ooh ooh
I CONFESS,
ooh ooh,
NOTHING LESS
THAN BREAKINGTHREE HEARTS
NOT TWO
ALL FOR LOVING YOU
ooh ooh….
LOVING YOU…
Down in the church
Where the candles flicker
I stood in my wedding dress
Remembering now
Ooh, it makes me shiver
Can’t turn back the years
I say through my tears
I CONFESS,
ooh ooh
I CONFESS,
ooh ooh,
NOTHING LESS
THAN BREAKING THREE HEARTS
NOT TWO
ALL FOR LOVING YOU
ooh ooh….
LOVING YOU…
Feel your breath
Upon my shoulder
Sends a tingle
Down my spine
I would give a
million lifetimes
Just to touch you
one more time…
I CONFESS…
ooh ooh
I CONFESS…
ooh ooh,
NOTHING LESS…
THAN BREAKINGTHREE HEARTS
NOT TWO…
Can You Hear Me Now
(Ruby Paul Original)
I’m not afraid to say it’s true
Can you hear me, can you hear me now?
I’m doing what I wanna do
Can you hear me now?
I’m tired of playing it so safe
Gone climbing up to find a better place
‘cos I am leaving this old ground
Can you hear me, can you hear me now?
And where I fall is where I’ll land
Can you hear me now?
I’m not afraid to say it’s true
Can you hear me, can you hear me now?
I’m doing what I wanna do
Can you hear me now?
For a while I played a part
In a conventional life I made a start
But now I’m through with playing a part
Can you hear me, can you hear me now?
I’m gonna follow my heart
Can you hear me now?
Daddy, daddy, hold your tongue
Your words have beat me down since I was young
But I’m much wiser than before
And daddy, I’m not listening any more…
I’m not afraid to say it’s true
Can you hear me, can you hear me now?
I won’t be taken for a fool
Can you hear me now?
I’m not afraid to take a chance
I’m off without a backwards glance
I’m sick and tired of pleasing you
Can you hear me, can you hear me now?
I’m doing what I wanna do
