Meiko may refer to:
Meiko Kaji (梶 芽衣子, Kaji Meiko?), born March 24, 1947 in Chiyoda, Tokyo is a Japanese actress and singer. She has appeared in about 100 films, with her most famous roles being outlaw characters in early 1970s films, such as the rebels of the Stray Cat Rock series, the assassin Lady Snowblood, or the murderous Sasori from the Female Convict: Scorpion series.
Meiko Kaji was born in the Kanda area of Tokyo and graduated from the Yakumo Academy high school in Meguro, Tokyo. She began work in the film industry under her real name, Masako Ota, at Nikkatsu studio in 1965 after graduating from high school. In 1969 she appeared in "Nihon Zankyoden", one of a series of films directed by Masahiro Makino. He recognized her acting ability and gave her the stage name of Meiko Kaji. From 1970 to 1971 she appeared in the Noraneko Rokku (Stray cat/Alleycat Rock) series of films about delinquent young people.
In 1971, Nikkatsu moved into the pink film business, and to avoid this, Kaji moved to Toei. There she made the Female Convict Scorpion series of films with Shunya Itō. In 1973 she took on the role of Yuki in the revenge-themed film Lady Snowblood, followed by a sequel, Lady Snowblood 2: Love Song of Vengeance. She went on to appear in several of Kinji Fukasaku's films, such as Yakuza Graveyard (1976). In 1978, she starred in Sonezaki Shinjū, for which she earned nominations for Best Actress at five different awards shows, winning four of them.
Now my eyes are wide open
Now that everythings been stolen
And I'm here to get it back from you
See I ain't wastin' no more time
Gotta take back whats mine
What else am I supposed to do?
Here I am
With my heart on the floor
And my love out the door
You should be knockin'
There it goes
I've got nothing to show for
Except pictures I posed for
But I keep 'em in a box
Under my bed
I told you time and again
That you'd never win
I told you time and again
But you keep doin' the same old things
When I thought that you would change
I told you time and again
Here I am
With my heart on the floor
And my love out the door
You should be knockin'
There it goes
I've got nothing to show for
Except pictures I posed for
But I keep 'em in a box
Under my bed
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Here I am
With my heart on the floor
And my love out the door
There it goes
I've got nothing to show for
Except pictures I posed for
Here I am
With my heart on the floor
And my love out the door
You should be knockin'
There it goes
I've got nothing to show for
Except pictures I posed for
But I keep 'em in a box
Under my bed
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
I think I'm thinking too much
Is this what happens when you fall in love?
I know I should let it be
This isn't how I am usually
But I'm loosing sleep
Going over possibilities
I'm scared that I'm not what you need
I think I'm thinking too much
So long I've been waiting
For something to turn out right
Is it so wrong to be this easy
I never thought I could be without a fight
Ooo, I'm in love with... you
What am I to... do?
I think I'm thinking too much
Is this what happens when you fall in love?
I know I should let it be
This isn't how I am usually
But I am loosing sleep
Going over possibilities
I'm scared I'm not what you need
I think I'm thinking too much
It's so good... to be this happy
I just be dreaming of the night
Ooo, I'm in love with... you
What am I to... do
I think I'm thinking too much
Is this what happens when you fall in love?
I know I should let it be
This isn't how I am usually
But I am loosing sleep
Going over possibilities
I'm scared I'm not what you need
I saw you with her the other day
Looking like you're happier this way
But I know that you think about me
She is having your baby
Do you think it was a mistake?
Should have worn your raincoat that night
I know things get a little crazy
People get a little shady
And you have to move on
I know I couldn't keep you in my pocket
Life just kind of stopped it and we had to move on
Does your momma ask about me?
Does your daddy know what you did to me?
Am I better off without you?
Cuz I thought you were my ricardo
I thought I was your lucy
We were gonna have a family
Go to soccer games and all that shit
Well I know things get a little crazy
People get a little shady and you have to move on
I know I couldn't keep you in my pocket
Life just kind of stopped it and we had to move on
But I know that you think about
I know that you think about
I know that you think about
I know that you think about me
I know that you think about
I know that you think about
I know that you think about
I know that you think about me
I saw you with her the other day
Looking like you're happier this way
The apostale castle smells rotten
The Last Supper begins as always
Gruesome foods on the table
A woman eating them up alone with a smile
Her name is Vanika Conchita
She was once an opsomaniac
And then she went farther than that
The ultimate level of the baddest foods
Respect her, honor her
Our great Conchita
All of the foods in this world
Are for her
Eat them up, every bit of the world
More room for foods in her
The shining pale blue deadly poison
Is the best spice for main dishes
Eat up right down to the bone
If it's not enough, bite into the dishes
Total bliss on her tounge
The supper is not finished yet
The 15th personal chef of this year
He asked me
"Could you let me take holidays, my lady?"
I have to say, they're all useless
Respect her, honor her
Our great Conchita
Betrayers have to pay the price
For what they do
Eat them up, every bit in the world
Todays menu is really special
The shining pale blue hair
Works out perfectly for salad hors d'oeuvres
Eat up right down to the bone
If it's not enough, just have "another"
Oh, my butler, over there
What does "you" taste like?
And then the castle was deserted
Nothing left there, anyone else but her
Even so, she wanted more
The ultimate level of the baddest foods
Eat them up every bit in the world
She gazed at her right hand
And smiled amiably
"There's more to eat"
The baddest food for Conchita
It was... Yes, it was herself
Now she knows all the tastes in the world
I must confess
When I wear this dress
I feel like dancing
The whole night with you,
And when I do, do do do do do
I feel so happy
I'm stuck on you
'Cause you are the one
I could see having fun with
Not just for the night
But for the rest of my life
You are the one
I could never be done with
I want you tonight
And for the rest of my life too
Do do do do do do do do do do do do
You are so dreamy
Feel like I'm in the movies
I feel so happy
I'm stuck on you
'Cause you are the one
I could see having fun with
Not just for the night
But for the rest of my life
You are the one I could never be done with
I want you tonight
And for the rest of my life too
Do do do do do do do do do do do do
I'm stuck on you, you
'Cause you are the one
I could see having fun with
Not just for tonight
But for the rest of my life
You are the one
I could see having fun with
Not just for the night
But for the rest of my life
You are the one I could never be done with
I want you tonight
And for the rest of my life too
This song's going to you
The one who's so confused
The one who fells so used
You don't have to wait
for all this silly fate
For things you can not make
Hey what are you going to say?
What are you going to do?
When its all said and done
I watched you fall afar
Wishing on every star
Saving every penny
And I used to feel the same
Like every things a game
But all I kept doing was losing you
Hey, what are you going to say?
What are you going to do?
Give me a reason to fall in love
Take my hand and lets dance
Give me a reason to make me smile
Cos i think I forgot how
I wanna fall asleep with you tonight
I wanna that i am safe when you hold me tight
I wanna feel how i wanna feel forever
Girls need attention and boys need us
So lets make everybody glad
They have eachother in eachothers arms
So lets make everybody glad
I wa a a a a a ant yo o o o o o ou
I wa a a a a a ant yo ou
I wanna dream away with you tonight
We can go oh oh anywhere you would like
I wanna feel how I wanna feel forever
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
I wa a a a a a ant yo o o o o o ou
I wa a a a a a ant yo ou
Every little thing I do, I do for you
With every little thing, I think a thought of you
And I try so hard not to notice
I try so hard not to care
I try so hard not to know that you're not here
But I'm counting down the hours
And I'm counting up the days
I try so hard not to show this side of me
Jealous of the way they walk, the way they talk
'Cause I don't think they know just what they got
I'm jealous of the way they look, the way they are
When I just want to be the way we were
And I try so hard not to notice
I try so hard not to care
I try so hard not to know that you're not here
But I'm counting down the hours
And I'm counting up the days
I try so hard not to show this side of me
Well, I try so hard not to notice
I try so hard not to care
I try so hard not to know that you're not here
But I'm counting down the hours
And I'm counting up the days
I try so hard not to show this side of me
This side of me, this side of me
This side of me, this side of me
This side of me, this side of me
This side of me, this side of me
One day we'll get out of this shitty apartment
One day, all it takes for things to turn around
All I know is I got you and you got me babe
And when that morning comes, I'll make coffee and you read the paper
we'll talk about our plans and I'll keep saying how lucky we are
One day, we'll get in the car and drive anywhere we wanna go, then we'll stay in a five star mini bar, luxury hotel room cause all i know is i got you and you got me babe
and when that morning comes i'll make coffee and you'll read the paper
we'll talk about our plans and how lucky we are
one day, we'll turn on the tv and we wont see nothing about war
I know I've gotta find you
Wonder if you're even there
Taking me for granted
I can barely stand it
Wonder why I even care
Oh now baby you, cant you see
I'm hiding in your arms
Oh now baby you, cant you see
Don't wanna find myself in harm
Showing me the way I thought I heard you say
That good things come to those who wait
Watching every hour, watch it going sour
Watching you control my fate
Oh now baby you, cant you see
I'm hiding in your arms
Oh now baby you, cant you see
Don't wanna find myself in harm
Running out of space, I can't see your face
I've forgotten how you used to be
Saying that you love me, that you're thinking of me
Taking my identity
Oh now baby you, cant you see
I'm hiding in your arms
Oh now baby you, cant you see
Don't wanna find myself in harm
Oh now baby you, cant you see
I'm hiding in your arms
Oh now baby you, cant you see
I'm so tired of staring at the wall
But I know I got to put you down
And I keep trying to make sense of it all
But I can't keep going around and around
And you know me well; you know me better than this
And I can't be sure if you're something I'd miss
'Cause I've heard it all before
I've heard it all before
I keep finding a little piece of me
Every time we disagree
And your words float like dandelions every other way
I can't keep listening to what you say
'Cause I've heard it all before
I've heard it all before
And I take everything I can
And I'll throw it out the door
Yeah, I've heard it all before
I've heard it all before
And I take everything I can
when i first met you i knew you were the one
till you took me home and met her

Look what you've done
Look what you have become
You're a puppet, a fool, and a thief
With my eyes closed
'Cause that's how it goes
Everyone knew it but me
You're a good looking loser
And I'm the one who got away
With my eyes full of tears
And my hands with two beers
I'm as sorry as I am ashamed
Should have been smarter
Should have tried harder
Should have been quick to your game
You're a good looking loser
And I'm the one who got away
Nobody said it'd be different this time
Maybe you're all the same
And I had my doubts
But I threw them all out
I had faith
That there would be no price to pay
You're a good looking loser
And I'm the one who got away
Yeah I'm the one, I'm the one, I'm the one, I'm the one who got away
I'm the one, I'm the one, I'm the one, I'm the one who got away
Yeah I'm the one, I'm the one, I'm the one, I'm the one who got away
You're a good looking loser

Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night.
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night
Ev'rybody's got the fever
that is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night.

When I'm laying down in bed
I write you letters in my head
Of all the things I haven't said to you
I'll be your lover, I'll be your wife
I'm in the kitchen baking pies
I wanna have that kind of life with you
When you get home at night
I'll have the house just right
I'm not sorry for saying that I want you
For waiting naked in my bed all day
And I'm not sorry for saying that I need you
To come and make a woman out of me
I'm not sorry
I hope it won't scare you away
I wanna have your kids someday
They'd all have dimples on their face like you
And when you're old or bald or grey
I'm gonna love your wrinkly face
Nobody else could love you like I do
When you get home at night
I'll have your crown and sprite
I'm not sorry for saying that I want you
For waiting naked in my bed all day
And I'm not sorry for saying that I need you
To come and make a woman out of me
I'm not sorry
I never thought I could feel like this
Everything changed from just one kiss
The single life I wouldn't miss if I'm with you
I'm not sorry for saying that I want you
For waiting naked in my bed all day
And I'm not sorry for saying that I need you
To come and make a woman out of me
I'm not sorry for saying that I want you
For waiting naked in my bed all day
And I'm not sorry for saying that I need you
So come and make a woman out of me
All I do is think of you
And how you make me feel brand new
Like a pair of shoes that fit my feet just right
I wanna wear you out tonight
And they say that you're not for me
But they don't know you like I do
They say that we'll never make it
But they don't know how it goes
When the doors close
All I do is dream of how
We can leave it all behind
Paris, France or to the moon
We'll leave it all behind
But they say that you're not for me
But they don't know you like I do
They say that we'll never make it
But they don't know how it goes
When the doors close
When the doors close
They say that you're not for me
They don't know you like I do
They say that we'll never make it
But they don't know how it goes
When the doors close
They say that you're not for me
They don't know you like I do
They say that we'll never make it
Lie to me

I've always been the one who waits for something good
I leave it all to fate
Never seem to take a chance, even when I know I should
I always hesitate
And I tell myself
I'll get it right in time
Oh oh oh oh oh
Throw your hands up and let it go
Anything to make it better
You give a little heart, give a little soul
All you have is now or never
Throw your hands up and let it go
Let it go
Throw your hands up and let it go
Let it go
I've always been the one who wants a little bit more
The last with the least
I never know what I got till it's out the door
And out of reach
And I tell myself
I'll get it right in time
Oh oh oh oh oh
Throw your hands up and let it go
Anything to make it better
You give a little heart, give a little soul
All you have is now or never
Throw your hands up and let it go
Let it go
Throw your hands up and let it go
Let it go
I keep an open mind
Whatever's there for me to find
Hoping that something's gonna give
I'm hoping that something's gonna give
I tell myself

Oh oh oh oh oh
Throw your hands up and let it go
Anything to make it better
You give a little heart, give a little soul
All you have is now or never

I'll get it right, I'll get it right, I'll get it right, I'll get it right
I tell myself
You don't know who
You're dealing with, do you
With your perfect hair, little jezebel
Without a thing to do
I heard your voice
When you thought I left the room
I heard you say
I couldn't never compare to you
Well I got a secret
That I can't keep
I had a long talk with your baby
In my back seat
And he was real real sweet
Yeah, he was real real sweet
Play your cards right
And get out of my life
'Cause we both know
I am not the quiet type
Yeah, I got a secret that
I can't keep
Every time he left you
I was waiting down the street
And he was real real sweet
Yeah, he was real real sweet
But you'll never know, you'll never know
The truth
No no no you'll never know the truth
Will you
I got a secret that I can't keep
I know that he loves you
But he's in love with me
And it goes real real deep
Yeah, it goes real real deep
But you'll never know, you'll never know
The truth
No no no you'll never know the truth
We're in the dark, it's getting late
I really should go, he's waiting for me
We both know it's not what it seems
We both know what's between the sheets
I know that it's a secret
And that I gotta keep it
But I want the lights on
Yeah, I want the lights on
And I don't want to run away anymore
Leave the lights on, leave the lights on, leave the lights on
What would they say, what would they do?
Would it be trouble if they knew?
I'm trying hard to make you see
All that you are is all that I need
I know that it's a secret
And that I gotta keep it
But I want the lights on
Yeah, I want the lights on
And I don't want to run away anymore
Leave the lights on, leave the lights on
I know that it's a secret
And that I gotta keep it
But I want the lights on
Yeah, I want the lights on
And I don't want to run away anymore
Leave the lights on, leave the lights on, leave the lights on
Let it out, let it out, let it out
Let it out, let it out, let it out
I know that it's a secret
And that I gotta keep it
But I want the lights on
Yeah, I want the lights on
And I don't want to run away anymore
Leave the lights on, leave the lights on
I know that it's a secret
And that I gotta keep it
But I want the lights on
Yeah, I want the lights on
And I don't want to run away anymore
You said everything's going to be alright
Going to work out this time
And I'm sure daddy's in bed
Thinking 'bout my life and how to make it right now
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
And it's too late for wanting
The best thing for me now
So walk by
And you can't keep saying
The same thing to me now
So walk by
Take back the promises you made
And break free from all the things that you have left behind
'Cause it's a long way home
It's a long way home
And it's too late for wanting
The best thing for me now
So walk by
And you can't keep saying
The same thing to me now
So walk by
Everything has a reason for it
Everyone has a story to tell
Everything has a reason for it
Everyone has a story, don't they?
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
And it's too late for wanting
The best thing for me now
So walk by
And you can't keep saying
The same thing to me now
So walk by
It's a long way home
I want to go to Hawaii
Build my castle out of sand
And I won't need anybody
Telling me that I can't
And you can't see
That you're seeing me
If you don't know
Who I am
You can't see
That you need me
And neither one of us, can be found
And neither one of us, can be found
I want to soak up the water
I dream about you every night
And in my mind, date, and order
Take it away in just one flight
And you can't see
That you're seeing me
If you don't know
Who I am
You can't see
That you need me
And neither one of us, can be found
And neither one of us, can be found
And neither one of us, can be found
Today I found a feeling
I thought I lost a long time ago
Today he's got me reeling
From a meeting of our souls
La la la
La la la
Today he said he loved me
And I know I love him just the same
Today feeling good is easy
I never thought I could be
This way again
La la la
My heart keeps singing
La la la
When he's around
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love

Bum bum bum
Today I found a feeling
I thought I lost a long time ago
Today he's got me reeling
From a meeting of our souls
La la la

I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
When I woke up this morning
you were so far away from me
And I knew it was a warning
of an empty space in between
Feeling free when I'm with you
But knowing I'm not far away from home
Now what am I supposed to do,
when the answers all come out wrong
And I need something to help me sleep
When I know you're not good for me
And I need something I can keep
From the empty space in between
From the empty space in between
You treated me like a goddess
When we were around everyone else
How come you couldn't notice me
When I was standing by myself
And I need something to help me sleep
When I know you're not good for me
And I need something I can keep
From the empty space in between
From the empty space in between
Something to help me, Something to help me, Something to help me to sleep
Every little thing I do, I do for you.
With every little thing I think a thought of you
and I try so hard not to notice
I try so hard not to care
I try so hard not to know that you're not here
But I'm counting down the hours
and I'm counting up the days
I try so hard not to show this side of me
Jealous of the way they walk, the way they talk
'Cause I don't think they know just what they got
I'm jealous of the way they look, the way they are
When I just want to be the way we were
and I try so hard not to notice
I try so hard not to care
I try so hard not to know that you're not here
But I'm counting down the hours
and I'm counting up the days
I try so hard not to show this side of me
Well I try so hard not to notice
I try so hard not to care
I try so hard not to know that you're not here
But I'm counting down the hours
and I'm counting up the days
I try so hard not to show this side of me
