Claudius (Latin: Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus; 1 August 10 BC – 13 October AD 54) was Roman Emperor from 41 to 54. A member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, he was the son of Drusus and Antonia Minor. He was born at Lugdunum in Gaul and was the first Roman Emperor to be born outside Italy. Because he was afflicted with a limp and slight deafness due to sickness at a young age, his family ostracized him and excluded him from public office until his consulship, shared with his nephew Caligula in 37. Claudius' infirmity probably saved him from the fate of many other nobles during the purges of Tiberius and Caligula's reigns; potential enemies did not see him as a serious threat. His survival led to his being declared Emperor by the Praetorian Guard after Caligula's assassination, at which point he was the last adult male of his family.
Despite his lack of experience, Claudius proved to be an able and efficient administrator. He was also an ambitious builder, constructing many new roads, aqueducts, and canals across the Empire. During his reign the Empire conquered Thrace, Noricum, Pamphylia, Lycia and Judaea, and began the conquest of Britain. Having a personal interest in law, he presided at public trials, and issued up to twenty edicts a day. However, he was seen as vulnerable throughout his reign, particularly by the nobility. Claudius was constantly forced to shore up his position; this resulted in the deaths of many senators. These events damaged his reputation among the ancient writers, though more recent historians have revised this opinion. After his death in 54, his grand-nephew and adopted son Nero succeeded him as Emperor.
Charles Laughton (1 July 1899 – 15 December 1962) was an English-born American stage and film actor, screenwriter, producer and director.
Laughton was born in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, the son of Robert Laughton and his wife Elizabeth (née Conlon), Yorkshire hotel keepers. His mother was a devout Roman Catholic of Irish descent. He attended Stonyhurst College, a Jesuit school, in Lancashire. He served during World War I (in which he was gassed) first with the 2/1st Battalion of the Huntingdonshire Cyclist Regiment and later with the 7th Battalion of the Northamptonshire Regiment.
Sir Dirk Bogarde (28 March 1921 – 8 May 1999) was an English actor and novelist. Initially a matinée idol in such films as Doctor in the House (1954) and other Rank Organisation pictures, Bogarde later acted in art-house films such as Death in Venice (1971). He also wrote several volumes of autobiography.
Bogarde was born Derek Jules Gaspard Ulric Niven van den Bogaerde in a nursing home at 12 Hemstal Road,West Hampstead, London, of mixed Flemish, Dutch and Scottish ancestry, and baptised on 30 October at St. Mary's Church, Kilburn. His father, Ulric van den Bogaerde (born in Perry Barr, Birmingham; 1892–1972), was the art editor of The Times and his mother, Margaret Niven (1898–1980), was a former actress; his grand niece is the singer Birdy. He attended University College School, the former Allan Glen's School in Glasgow (a time he described in his autobiography as unhappy, although others have disputed his account) and later studied at the Chelsea College of Art and Design.
The Reign of Terror (5 September 1793 – 28 July 1794) (the latter is date 10 Thermidor, year II of the French Revolutionary Calendar), also known simply as The Terror (French: la Terreur), was a period of violence that occurred after the onset of the French Revolution, incited by conflict between rival political factions, the Girondins and the Jacobins, and marked by mass executions of "enemies of the revolution." The death toll ranged in the tens of thousands, with 16,594 executed by guillotine (2,639 in Paris), and another 25,000 in summary executions across France.
The guillotine (called the "National Razor") became the symbol of the revolutionary cause, strengthened by a string of executions: Marie Antoinette, King Louis XVI, the Girondins, Philippe Égalité (Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans) and Madame Roland, as well as many others, such as pioneering chemist Antoine Lavoisier, lost their lives under its blade. During 1794, revolutionary France was beset with conspiracies by internal and foreign enemies. Within France, the revolution was opposed by the French nobility, which had lost its inherited privileges. The Roman Catholic Church was generally against the Revolution, which had turned the clergy into employees of the state and required they take an oath of loyalty to the nation (through the Civil Constitution of the Clergy). In addition, the First French Republic was engaged in a series of wars with neighboring powers intent on crushing the revolution to prevent its spread.
Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr. (April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984), better known by his stage name Marvin Gaye (he added the 'e' as a young man), was an acclaimed American singer-songwriter and musician with a three-octave vocal range, who achieved major success in the 1960s and 1970s as an artist for the Motown Records label. He was shot dead by his father on April 1, 1984.
Starting his career as a member of the doo-wop group The Moonglows in the late 1950s, he ventured into a solo career after the group disbanded in 1960, signing with Motown Records subsidiary, Tamla. He started off as a session drummer, but later ranked as the label's top-selling solo artist during the 1960s. He was crowned "The Prince of Motown" and "The Prince of Soul". because of solo hits such as "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)", "Ain't That Peculiar", "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," and his duet singles with singers such as Mary Wells and Tammi Terrell.
His work in the early- and mid-1970s included the albums, What's Going On, Let's Get It On, and I Want You, which helped influence the quiet storm, urban adult contemporary, and slow jam genres. After a self-imposed European exile in the early 1980s, Gaye returned on the 1982 Grammy-Award winning hit, "Sexual Healing" and the Midnight Love album before his death.

The extraordinary adaptation of Shakespeare's classic tale of vengeance and tragedy.
Hamlet: To be, or not to be, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing, end them.
Hamlet: The play's the thing, wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king.
Hamlet: [to Ophelia] Get thee to a nunnery!

Hamlet: There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Plot
The rise and fall of the notorious Roman Emperor Caligula, showing the violent methods that he employs to gain the throne, and the subsequent insanity of his reign - he gives his horse political office and humiliates and executes anyone who even slightly displeases him. He also sleeps with his sister, organises elaborate orgies and embarks on a fruitless invasion of England before meeting an appropriate end. There are various versions of the film, ranging from the heavily- truncated 90-minute version to the legendary 160-minute hardcore version which leaves nothing to the imagination (though the hardcore scenes were inserted later and do not involve the main cast members).

[at an orgy]::Caligula: Longinus, you're not having any fun! Enjoy yourself! What is your preference?::Longinus: Everything and nothing Caesar.
Caligula: I hear you have a taste for little boys. Is that not so?::Chaerea: No Caesar, big boys.
Chaerea: Give him enough rope...::Longinus: ...and perhaps, he'll hang us all.
Tiberius: Do you prefer nymphs to satyrs?::Caligula: I like both, Lord.::Tiberius: One needs both, yes, to keep healthy.
Tiberius: Do you think this boy has been drinking?::Caligula: I think he has, Caesar.::Tiberius: So do I. Macro? Bring him more wine!
Caligula: Caesar begged you.
[after a man is decapitated]::Caligula: If only all of Rome had just one neck.
Tiberius: Serve the state, Caligula, though the people in it are wicked beasts.::Caligula: But they love you, lord.::Tiberius: Oh, no... they FEAR me... and that is much better.
Plot
Hamlet returns to his remarkably minimalistic palace in Denmark and finds out his father is dead and his uncle Claudius has married his mother Gertrude. His father's ghost appears, and tells Hamlet to avenge him forthwith. Hamlet stages a play to confirm Claudius' guilt and his mother's compliance, but then inadvertently kills his girlfriend Ophelia's father, Polonius. This drives her insane, while her brother Laertes sets out to avenge his father's death. In a climactic swordfight, Claudius tries to poison Hamlet with Laertes' sword and a poisoned cup. Gertrude takes the poison cup out of guilt, while Hamlet realizes Laertes' sword is poisoned...

Bad things happen to the people you love
And you'll find yourself paying the diamond above
But honestly I've never had much sympathy
'Cause those bad things always saw them coming for me
I'm gonna run run away, run run away
run away, runaway and never come back
Run run away, run run away, run away
Show 'em that your color is black
Bad things happen to the people you love
And you'll find yourself paying the diamond above
But honestly I've never had much sympathy
'Cause those bad things always saw them coming for me
It would take some time just to see me shine
For the whole world to see me here with all of my light
But honestly I've given up on all those fights
So that one day I'll have you all wrapped up in my light
I'm gonna run run away, run run away
Run away, runaway and never come back
Run run away, run run away, run away
Show 'em that your color is black
I'm gonna run run away, run run away
Run away and never come back

Up late at night all alone
Can't you see that I'm trying?
Trying so hard to hold on
To the things I know
But in the evening I will have to go
What I most want is bad for me I know
Out in the dark, shaking hands
In the street, I'm drifting
Drifting away from my family towards my foes
My mother told me you'll reap what you sow
What you most is want is bad for me you know
Back in my home late at night
All alone, I'm flying
Flying above all my troubles
My mind's a gull
When I am happy my heart starts to slow
What I most want is bad for me I know
Late in the morning I wake
All alone, I'm crying
Crying for all of the people who love me so
But when we get sad we know where to go
What we most want is bad for us we know
Flirtation
Drug use
I really want to go out
I really want to go outside and stop to see your day
You really want to hole up
You really want to stay inside and sleep the light away
I really want to go out
I really want to go outside and make it light all day
You really want to hole up
You really want to stay inside and not care where you lay
Well I know what's good
Exactly cause I have been there before
Yeah I know what's good
Exactly those things night cannot behold
I really want to go out
I really want to go outside and stop to see your day
You really want to hole up
You really want to stay inside and sleep the light away
I think it's good to go out
Cause if you don't you'll never make a memory that will stay
I think that you should wake up
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of calvary
To the beach of malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this sacred heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
He had been untrue
I had learned of all his lies
I took a look in her eyes and she caught me by surprise
I threw his shit on the floor
She rushed me out of the door
He tried to explain
I didn't do anything
I knew that he was bad
Never knew just what he had
I guess I don't have a life
But I'll find one soon in time
Started crying my eyes out
I wish we never met
I never had a regret
I had it up to here
I can't take this anymore
She's this crazy now
There's no telling what's in store
Maybe I should start a life with someone new
And give up all my hopes for.
I went on a drive
And he caught me by surprise
I took a look in her eyes
And said I need you in my life
I'm in love with him
I'm in love with her
I, I can't take things slowly
Come let away that's what they all do
Help me 'cause I'm feeling shaky
Tell me what's wrong with my brain
'Cause I've seem to have lost it

'Cause I am afraid of the light
Yeah you know what I mean

I try so hard to be happy
'Cause something goes wrong once again
Please, please come and save me

Oh my god, I'm stuck inside the same position
I'm so tired of sitting around here with my boring life
Wishing I could find another name to go by
Late at night I'm dreaming about a time where I could change my side
Please don't tell me you know the rules to go by
I can run away and leave you anytime
Please don't tell me you know the plans for my life
I can run away and leave you here to stay inside dreaming
I'm so tired of all these honest decisions
Oh my god, I'm ready to walk right out that door
I never wanted a single thing for my life
All I wanted was to know was to know that I have never wasted my time
Please don't tell me you know the rules to go by
I can run away and leave you anytime
Please don't tell me you know the plans for my life
I can run away and leave you here to stay inside dreaming
Oh my god, I'm stuck in the same lame tradition
I'm so tired of thinking about the things that I have been missing
I never wanted a single thing for my life
All I wanted to know was to know that I have never wasted my time
Please don't tell me you know the rules to go by
I can run away and leave you anytime
Please don't tell me you know the plans for my life
I never saw the point in trying
Cause I would only let you down
And I just couldn't take you down there with me
I just can't stand to see you drown
I never saw the point in crying
Cause I can't be the way you want
And I don't want lay around here waiting
Waiting for you to change your mind
I just keep on telling myself
That I, I don't need anyone else
Yeah I'd be just fine on my own
That I can make it out
I should
I know
I never saw the point in trying
Cause I would only let you down
And I just couldn't take you down there with me
I just can't stand to see you drown
I never saw the point in crying
Cause I can't be the way you want
And I don't want lay around here waiting

I knew right then that I'd been abducted
I knew right then that he would be taking my heart
I knew right then no one was above him
I knew right then that he would be breaking my heart
He tore me apart because I really loved him
He took my heart away and left me to bleed out, bleed out
He broke my heart because I really loved him
He took it all away and left me to bleed out, bleed out
I knew right then that she'd been abducted
I knew right then that I would be taking her heart
I knew right then that I'd never love her
The reasons I hope the dream hasn't left her scarred
He tore me apart because I really loved him
He took my heart away and left me to bleed out, bleed out
He broke my heart because I really loved him
He took it all away and left me to bleed out, bleed out
He tore me apart because I really loved him
He took my heart away and left me to bleed out, bleed out
He broke my heart because I really loved him
No one really knows who's watching over here
Places that you go best with me
Every time, every year
I'll keep it quiet
These things that you are for me
Cause if it's all spinning up the wall
And if it goes for you, crack a skull
Maybe if you leave this time, tonight's show
Should've taken the high road
Now it's such a long way back
Instead I take the long road
Figured I would simply be getting back
Should've taken the high road
Now my days have all turned back
Instead I take the long road
Figured I would simply be getting back
No one really knows who's watching over here
Brought another man, these things I'm afraid
Thinking about home weighing on you
We bought our way, places to be
Well if it's all spinning up the wall
And if it works for you, crack a skull
Maybe you can beat this show,
Tonight's show
And if it's too late to get in the car
And if it's already setting it all
Maybe you can practice it,
Let's go
Should've taken the high road
Now it's such a long way back
Instead I take the long road
Figured I would simply be getting back
Should've taken the high road
Now my days have all turned back
Instead I take the long road
I can hardly make you mine
Telling you too often
I've been long time
And I wait
It feels so distantly sad
We can live it up high
So take me away
For debate
I don't think I can wait
For you all the way
Staring through the tears
Like a lonely girl
I can hardly make you mine
Telling you too often
But you never want it
You can take
So I can hardly be mine
I guess it's just a desperate cry
For the inner me I am
I wait
But I know you're not the one and the only
You don't know what is like to be lonely
But between your sinister laugh slowly
Butcheres your love to me
I was as much as hard I can be
I don't think I can wait
For you all the way
Staring through the tears
Like a lonely girl
I don't think I can wait
For you all the way
Staring through the tears
When I walk at night I cant help but i know its right
when i walk alone im hoping for things unknown
When im on my own i try to get as far from home
when I wanna be, there's no bright light surrounding me
When I walk at night I cant help but i know its right
when i walk alone im hoping for things unknown
when i clear your side, im searching for some surprise
when im by your side i cant forget all our ties
When im on my own i try to get as far from home
when I wanna be, there's no bright light surrounding me
you keep on tryin to make make believe
that no one knows of your lies and your deceit
there's no use in me tryin to be the things
I wanted and that's right for me
there's no point playing hard to get
I figured i'll just sit on your swing
I watch colours that fade
And it breaks my mind
Waiting as darkness falls
So my eyes can be blind
All my dreams have gone bad
And no-one can help me
It's hard to understand
Why everything must fade away
Like Watercolour Days
A misty haze
When that girl was mine
Now she's gone away
It's over
Dead like the leaves on the trees
When the Summer's gone
For how was I to say
What she could or she could not do
And I have become a Watercolour Man
I watched Smoky grow old
And it broke my mind
Watching his colours fade
As he ran out of time
All his dreams had gone bad
And no-one could help him
It's hard to understand
Why everything must fade away
Like Watercolour Days
A misty haze
When that girl was mine
Now she's gone away
It's over
Dead like the leaves on the trees
When the Summer's gone
For how was I to say
Watch she could or she could not do
Have you ever kept a Scrapbook
So you could look back someday
Relive all the things you once did
Just as I did yesterday
At the time it seemed a good idea
I didn't know that sadness was so near
Take a look in my Scrapbook and see
See my life as it used to be
Photographs of things that happened
And they happened long ago
Pictures of familiar places
And of faces I used to know
I'm living in the past I'm so confused
I haven't caught up with the daily news
Take a look in my Scrapbook and see
See my life as it used to be
There I was just sitting on a fence
And surrounded by the friends I used to know
But that was a long time ago
Take a look in my Scrapbook and see
See my life as it used to be
The friends I once had are all gone
Close the book
You got eyes
You can see
You can try to imagine me
If you can
If you can
You got ears
You can tell
Even though you don't know me well
What I am
What I am
And I'm a man who doesn't paint a pretty picture
Sitting in the sun
Watching till the day is done
When you grow old and the sun goes out
What colour will you be
Try to imagine that time in your life
There is a color I can't forget
I've only seen it up in my head
I know I didn't imagine it
It shines around you
You're heaven sent
And you... make me, love
And you... are like
A work of art
(Chorus):
Love was always a shade of gray, [Aye]
Nothing golden would ever stay, [Aye]
Starry eyed girl, you took that all that away
The moment that you loved me
There is a feeling I can't express
The words for it just don't exist
I feel it most when you're close like this
It's in your touch and it's in your kiss
And you... make me, love
And you... are like
A work of art
(Chorus):
Love was always a shade of gray, [Aye]
Nothing golden would ever stay, [Aye]
Starry eyed girl, you took that all that away
The moment that you loved me
Love was always a shade of gray, [Aye]
Nothing golden would ever stay, [Aye]
Starry eyed girl, you took that all that away
The moment that you loved me
And the whole world stops for a minute
And I go right back to the beginning
When every picture was like the sun in my eyes
If I look too long I fall for you...
Make me love
(Chorus):
Love was always a shade of gray, [Aye]
Nothing golden would ever stay, [Aye]
Starry eyed girl, you took that all that away
The moment that you loved me
Love was always a shade of gray, [Aye]
Nothing golden would ever stay, [Aye]
Starry eyed girl, you took that all that away
She want it, she want it, she want it
Now you give her as she want it
She want it, she want it, she want it
Now you give her as she want it
Love shines brighter than gold, you know
Just as long as your heart can go
She want it, she want it, she want it
Now you give her as she want it
She want it, she want it, she want it
Now you give her as she want it
'Cause when she can't get it, she feels so mad
But when she get it, she feels so glad
Take it easy, babe
Love shines brighter than gold, you know
Just as long as your heart can go
She want it, she want it, she want it
Now you give her as she want it
She want it, she want it, she want it
Now you give her as she want it
When she can't get it, she feels so mad
But when she get it, she feels so glad
She want it, she want it, she want it
Now you give her as she want it
She want it, she want it, she want it
Don't stop her if she want it
She get it, she get it, she get it
She never stop 'til she get it
She get it, she get it, she get it
She never stop 'til she get it
Feel that? Right there
I should have known from the start
That treating her badly would break her heart
Now that I know, it's too late
The poor girl has gone right out of that gate
Somewhere over the rainbow's end
She'll fly, yes, she'll fly
Somewhere over the rainbow's end
She'll fly, yes, she'll fly
She used to say there would come a day
When she would walk out and go far far away
I didn't believe, no, it couldn't be true
But now that she's gone, Lord, what am I to do?
Somewhere over the rainbow's end
She'll fly, yes, she'll fly
Somewhere over the rainbow's end
She'll fly, yes, she'll fly
Somewhere over the rainbow's end
She'll fly, yes, she'll fly
Somewhere over the rainbow's end
She'll fly, yes, she'll fly
Somewhere over the rainbow's end
Then she'll fly, yes, she'll fly
Don't wanna lie to you
Don't wanna lie to you
Shivers down your spine,
My fingers try to follow
I'll work you 5 to 9
So you can work tomorrow
Join me for the climb
Max until we both so
Tired like the lines
Off all those other ass*****
Don't wanna lie to you
Just to lie with you
Don't need a one night stand
But we can do that too
I got the F-C-K
All I need is u
I am on ecstasy
When you're next to me
I got the F-C-K
All I need is u
Oh you think you fancy?
Well meet me at the chateau
We could keep it classy
Or keep it on the down low
Rollin in the deep
Talkin in the shallow
When you need to scream
Do it in the pillow
Too dirty to speak
Hot like a million degrees
When I look in your eyes
i feel the rush in me
Dancin, everything in slo-mo
Quit that romancing
Let's get to what we came for
Don't wanna lie to you
Just to lie with you
Don't need a one night stand
But we can do that too
I got the F-C-K
All I need is u
I am on ecstasy
When you're next to me
I got the F-C-K
All I need is u
I got the F-C-K
All I need is u
I am on ecstasy
When you're next to me
I got the F-C-K
All I need is u
All I need is u
Love me so lovely
Use me unusually
Make me sweat constantly
All I need is u
It's so not hard to see
I'm your next odyssey
Just speaking honestly
All I need is u
Don't wanna lie to you
Just to lie with you
Don't need a one night stand
But we can do that too
I got the F-C-K
All I need is u
I am on ecstasy
When you're next to me
I got the F-C-K
All I need is u
I got the F-C-K
All I need is u
I am on ecstasy
When you're next to me
I got the F-C-K
All I need is u
All I need is u
All I need is u
I see you tryin not to flirt,
But drinking makes it worse,
Girl you throw them arrows what you think they don't hurt?
Tryin to take it slow,
Trying stay controlled,
But girl you got that look like you don't wanna go home,
I know you better than,
Don't play so innocent,
Nothing to judge and nothing to defend,
Ain't no need to pretend,
Remodel, reinvent,
You done it once and you'll do it again,
Don't act like an angel,
Take off your halo,
Don't act like an angel,
Take off your halo,
Cuz you're a good girl
Every day of the week,
And now you need a release,
That's why you're rockin with me,
So don't act like an angel,
Take off your halo,
It must be getting hard,
Always thinking bout,
The animal inside of you that never gets out,
Cooped up for so long,
Looking for some wrong,
Girl you better feed it before it gets out of control,
Oh you can set the pace,
You know I love a chase,
Watching your hips and the way that they sway,
Let's make a great escape,
Right to your hiding place,
Using your lips when there's nothing to say,
Don't act like an angel,
Take off your halo,
Don't act like an angel,
Take off your halo,
Cuz you're a good girl
Every day of the week,
And now you need a release,
That's why you're rockin with me,
So don't act like an angel,
What if you let me love, you?
What if you let me love, you?
What if you could read my dirty mind?
What if I could keep you for the night?
What if we don't fight the fire?
We just let it burn, give into desire even if it's all a blur
You got me wishin' we'd stop what if'n
And just do it all
All that I'm missin', is your permission, to take it off
What if you let me love, you?
Yeah you should let me love, you
What if you let me do all the things that I want to?
Cause I got to, have you
What if you let me love?
What if we took it to the back seat?
What if I'm exactly what you need?
What if we don't care at all, let'em stare if they want to
I don't mind their eyes on us, long as your eyes are on me
You got me wishin' we'd stop what if'n
And just do it all
All that I'm missin', is your permission, to take it off
What if you let me love, you?
Yeah you should let me love, you
What if you let me do all the things that I want to?
Cause I got to, have you
What if you let me?
You're such a good girl, you got a love that's outta this world
I know you've been waiting for the right one
Well here I am, you don't have to keep it locked up
What if you let me love, you?
Yeah you should let me, love you
What if you let me do all the things that I want to?
Cause I got to, have you
What if you let me love?
What if you let me love?
What if you let me love?
What if you let me love?
I remember the day that met we met
Hair blowing in the wind
Sun touching your skin
One week, four days, three minutes (143, as in ILY on a T9)
Since that moment you smiled
I'm still spinnin'
If there's one thing that you've done to me
Makin' me crazy (crazy, crazy)
Hanging on in the mornin' when i wake up
All these memories fadin'
If you' what I'm dreamin' of
Never wake me up
Don't fade away
All that I see if you face
I don't know your name
Don't fade away
Late at night
When I'm all alone
When my eyes close
You reappear
You play all night
Like a video
So my eye's open up
Don't wake me up when I'm dreamin'
That day was a gift
Ever since been curse
My heart is holding on
My head's sayin' your gone
Colors fading to grey
But for what it's worth
I'm learning i can still feel love like that
Every once in a while it gets to me
I could be crazy
Hanging on in the mornin' when I wake up
All these memories fadin'
If you' what I'm dreamin' of
Never wake me up
Don't fade away
All that I see if you face
I don't know your name
Don't fade away
Late at night
When I'm all alone
When my eyes close
You reappear
You play all night
Like a video
So my eye's open up
Don't wake me up when I'm dreamin'
And if I see you again
Would I be able to pretend nothin' ever happened?
'Cause what I see in my head
The story goes
We grew old
Happy ever after, after
After all you've done to me
I wonder if we could ever be togther
Always in my dreams
Always and forever
If you're what I'm reamin
Never wake me up
Don't fade away
All that I see is your face
I don't know your name
Don't fade away
If you' what I'm dreamin' of
Never wake me up
Don't fade away
All that I see if you face
I don't know your name
Don't fade away
Late at night
When I'm all alone
When my eyes close
You reappear
You play all night
Like a video
So my eye's open up
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Can't help myself,
You got me on lockdown,
Spinnin' round,
I'm falling in.
Under a spell,
I want you on the floor [on the floor],
I'm falling in.
Your eyes sparkle bright like diamonds,
I'm blinded by the light.
We all search until we find them,
You're reminding me tonight.
When you're loving me,
I can hardly breathe.
When I feel your kiss,
So hard to resist.
I wanna dance all night (all night)
Tonight (tonight)
I wanna be the last one you love.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(That you love, that you love)
We're talking rhythm,
I'm glad you got it.
You do more than talk it,
You can walk it out.
Turn my ignition,
Got me wishing
I could keep you up all night.
You're falling in.
I'm sorry you've been burned before me.
(Afraid you got the right)
We all fall,
No, we can't fight it.
You're reminding me tonight.
When you're loving me,
I can hardly breathe.
When I feel your kiss,
So hard to resist.
I wanna dance all night (all night)
Tonight (tonight)
I wanna be the last one you love.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(That you love, that you love)
You're not alone,
You're not alone.
You're runnin' away,
I want you to stay,
Don't throw it away.
I just want to know,
Are you dancing to my radio?
I'm falling in.
You're runnin' away,
I want you to stay,
Don't throw it away.
Tonight...
When you're loving me,
I can hardly breathe.
When I feel your kiss,
So hard to resist.
I wanna dance all night (all night)
Tonight (tonight)
I wanna be the last one you love.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(That you love, that you love)
I wanna dance all night, tonight
I wanna dance all night, tonight
I wanna dance all night, tonight
[Intro:]
(Don't stop, when you gonna talk to me? Don't stop)
[Verse 1:]
Red light, what's keeping you from telling me to go?
All night staring me down (down, down down)
Your eyes are burning through me
But I need to see before I believe
Cause all I want is someone to love all night
And all you want is someone to hold all night
[Chorus:]
So when you gonna talk to me? (Don't stop)
Whatever you want from me, I've got
It's looking like we've got it made, let's not get in the way
Stereotypical, she's not. Everything about you girl, so hot
Why do, why do we play games? It's such a mystery
[Verse 2:]
Trouble saying what's on my mind, oh
I'd like to love you down (down, down, down)
So pour your sugar on me
Love how you're sweet as you wanna be
Cause all I want is someone to love all night
And all you want is someone to hold all night
[Chorus:]
So when you gonna talk to me? (Don't stop)
Whatever you want from me, I've got
It's looking like we've got it made, let's not get in the way
Stereotypical, she's not. Everything about you girl, so hot
Why do, why do we play games? It's such a mystery
[x2]
[Bridge:]
Why, oh why are you being this way?
Playin' hard to get's not helping it
There's no need for games.
Why, oh why would you lead me on?
With me's where you belong
So when you gonna talk to me?
[Chorus:]
It's looking like we've got it made, let's not get in the way
Stereotypical, she's not. Everything about you girl, so hot
Why do we play games? It's such a mystery
So when you gonna talk to me? (Don't stop)
Whatever you want from me, I've got
It's looking like we've got it made, let's not get in the way
Stereotypical, she's not. Everything about you girl, so hot
Why do, why do we play games? It's such a mystery
