Dame Enid Diana Elizabeth Rigg, DBE (born 20 July 1938) is an English actress. She is probably best known for her portrayals of Emma Peel in The Avengers and Countess Teresa di Vicenzo in the 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. She is considered a sex symbol and an icon of 1960s feminism.
Rigg was born in Doncaster, South Yorkshire to Louis Rigg and Beryl Hilda Helliwell (1908–1981); her father was a railway engineer who had been born in Yorkshire. Between the ages of two months and eight years Rigg lived in Bikaner, India, where her father was employed as a railway executive. Rigg speaks fluent Hindi. She was then sent to a boarding school, the Moravian School in Fulneck, near Pudsey. She disliked her boarding school, where she felt like a fish out of water, but she believes that Yorkshire played a greater part in shaping her character than India did. She trained as an actress at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
Her career in film, television and the theatre has been wide-ranging, including roles in the Royal Shakespeare Company between 1959 and 1964. Her professional debut was in The Caucasian Chalk Circle in 1955, aged 17.
And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try to feel
The way we do today
And then if you can remember
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
Whoa, and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember, oh
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
Oh, that's what friends are for
Whoa... oh... oh... keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, oh, for sure
'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for
For good times and for bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for (That's what friends are for)
On me, for sure
That's what friends are for
When you go through a day
And the things that people say
They make you feel so small
They make you feel that
Your heart will just never stop aching
And when you just can't accept
The abuse you are taking
Darlin' reach out for me
Don't you worry I'll see you through
You just have to reach out for me
I'll be there and I'll confort you
Oh yes I will
Comfort you and love you
How I'm gonna love you
When good friends prove untrue
And the things they do to you
They make you feel so bad
They make you feel that
You haven't a reason for living
So when you feel you
Could throw in the towel and just given in
I don't know where I'm going but I'm on my way
as I go through life
Somewhere in the world there's a place for me
Somewhere I will find me a new life
I don't know where I'm going but that's still ok
my dream is out there
Never gonna stop 'till that dream is mine
Gonna see what life's all about there
Gotta get away to go to search for something
that people call the good times
Let the good times come and turn my life around
I just gotta go and find the future and leave the past behind me
somwhere fame and fortune's waiting to be found
and I'm on my way
Yes, I'm on my way
Somwhere I will find me a new life
Somewhere in the world there's a place for me
Gotta get away to go to search for somthing
that people call the good times
Let the good times come and turn my life around
I just gotta go and find the future and leave the past behind me
somwhere fame and fortune's waiting to be found
and I'm on my way
Yes, I'm on my way
Love is lovelier
The second time around
Just as wonderful
With both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear
Your love song sung
Makes you think perhaps that love
Like youth, is wasted on the young
Love's more comfortable
The second time you fall
Like a friendly home
The second time you call
Who can say
What brought us to this miracle we've found
There are those who'd bet
Love comes but once and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
You look inside my fantasies
And make each one come true
Something no one else had ever found a way to do
I've kept the memories one by one
Since you took me in
I know I'll never love this way again
I know I'll never love this way again
So I keep holding on before the good is gone
I know I'll never love this way again
Hold on, hold on, hold on
A fool will lose tomorrow
Reaching out for yesterday
I won't turn my head in sorrow
If you should go away
I'll stand here and remember
Just how good it's been
And I know I'll never love this way again
I know I'll never love this way again
So I keep holding on before the good is gone
I know I'll never love this way again
Hold on, hold on, hold on
This is insane
All you did was say hello
Speak my name
Feeling your love
Like a love I used to know
Long ago.
How can it be
You're a different space and time
Come to me.
Feel like I'm home
In a place I used to know
Long ago
Deja vu -
Could you be the dream that I once knew
Is it you
Deja vu -
Could you be the dream that might come true
Shining through
I keep remembering me
I keep remembering you
Deja vu
This is devine
I've been waiting all my life
Filling time
Looking for you
Nights were more than you could know
Long ago
Come to me now
We don't have to dream of love
We know how
Somewhere before
It's as if I've loved you so
So long ago
Deja vu -
Could you be the dream that I once knew
Is it you
Deja vu -
Could you be the dream that might come true?
Shining through
I keep remembering me
I keep remembering you
Deja vu
Anyone who ever loved could look at me
And know that I love you
Anyone who ever dreamed could look at me
and know I dream of you
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me, too
You couldn't really have a heart and hurt me,
Like you hurt me and be so untrue
What am I to do
Every time you go away, I always say
This time it's goodbye , dear
Loving you the way I do
I take you back, without you I'd die dear
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me, too
You couldn't really have a heart and hurt me,
Like you hurt me and be so untrue
What am I to do
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me, too
You couldn't really have a heart and hurt me,
Like you hurt me and be so untrue
Anyone who had a heart would love me too
Anyone who had a hear would take me in his arms and love me too
Why won't you
I look inside my crystal ball of desire
And know why rapid beats my heart
I see the spark, I feel the flame of the fire
Letting me know love wants to start
No more playing around
No more waiting around for the special one to come
No more wearing a frown
No more tears coming down 'cause I know what I want
And I want what I know
Is you
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you, it's you, you're the angel sent from heaven above
It's you, nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above for me
(Background-Me for you and you for me)
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited my life would be undone
If only I had not waited I woul have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you (Harmonica Solo)
I look behind and what I sight is the mire
So very lonely was my heart
I look ahead I hear the sound of the choir
Singing that love will never part
No more hearing the sound of the rain coming down
No more I can't see the sun
No more hurting for fun 'cause the moment has come
When I know what I want
And I want what I know
Is you
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're the angel sent from heaven above
It's you, nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above for me
(Background-Me for you and you for me)
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited my life would be undone
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you
'Cause Baby
It's you
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're the angel sent from heaven above
It's you, nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above for me
(Background-Me for you and you for me)
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited my life would be undone
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you
'Cause Baby
It's you
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're the angel sent from heaven above
It's you, nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above for me
(Background-Me for you and you for me)
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited my life would be undone
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you
'Cause Baby it's you
Love, exciting and new
Come Aboard. We're expecting you.
Love, life's sweetest reward.
Let it flow, it floats back to you.
The Love Boat soon will be making another run

Gotta get off, gonna get
Have to get off from this ride
Gotta get hold, gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride
When did I get, where did I
How was I caught in this game
When will I know, where will I
How will I think of my name
When did I stop feeling sure, feeling safe
And start wondering why, wondering why
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
What's in back of the sky, why do we cry
Gotta get off, gonna get
Off of this merry-go-round
Gotta get off, gonna get
Need to get on where I'm bound
When did I get, where did I
Why am I lost as a lamb
When will I know, where will I
How will I learn who I am
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
Tell me, when will I know, how will I know
When will I know why?
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
It*s the only thing that there*s just too little of.
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
no not just for some but for everyone.
Lord we don*t need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb,
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last until the end of time
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
it*s the only thing that theres just too little of,
what the world needs now is love sweet love,
no not just for some but for everyone
Lord, we dont need another meadow,
there are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow,
there are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine,
oh listen Lord, if you want to know
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
its the only thing that theres just too little of.
what the world needs now is love sweet love,
no not just for some, oh but just for every every everyone.
what the world (whoa whoa) needs now,
is love (is love) sweet love
what the world ( oh oh) needs now
is love (is love) sweet love
what the world (whoa whoa) needs now
is love (is love) sweet love
If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe
that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
in private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by
I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
and walk on by
and walk by (don't stop)
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don't stop)
and walk on by (don't stop)
and walk by (don't stop)
An old friend told me that you just ran out of chances,
one too many dances down the narrow street of time.
Remember how we faced the world, like two tramps shining.
Please, don't let that magic ever end.
Don't forget what we learned living on the wind.
No night so long that you can't find the day;
no day so wrong that you can't find your way;
call on me like you used to do,
I still can show you who you are.
That day the long and dusty road had us both crying,
we used up our last joke just to try to smile a again.
And only now I find I know what we were learning,
though it's dark and you have traveled far.
Ev'ry long night gives you one bright shining star.
No night so long that you can't find the day;
no day so wrong that you can't find your way;
call on me like you used to do,
I can still show you who you are.
Deep in the night you know that you'll find,
deep in the night you know that you'll find the way.
No night so long that you can't find the day;
no day so wrong that you can't find your way;
call on me like you used to do,
I still can show you who you are.
No night so long that you can't find the day;
no day so wrong that you can't find your way.
Repeat ad lib and fade...
Oh, breaking up is so very hard to do
If you really love him
And there's nothing I can do
Don't try to spare my feelings
Just tell me that we're through
And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do
And if the way I hold him
Can't compare to his caress
No words of consolation
Will make me miss you less
My darling, if this is goodbye
I just know I'm gonna cry
So run to him
Before you start crying too
And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do
Oh, baby, it's so hard to do
You looked inside my fantasies and made each one come true,
something no one else had ever found a way to do.
I've kept the mem'ries one by one, since you took me in;
and I know I'll never love this way again.
I know I'll never love this way again,
so I keep holdin' on before the good is gone.
I know I'll never love this way again,
hold on, hold on, hold on.
A fool will lose tomorrow reaching back for yesterday;
I won't turn my head in sorrow if you should go away.
I'll stand here and remember just how good it's been,
and I know I'll never love this way again.
I know I'll never love this way again,
so I keep holdin' on before the good is gone.
I know I'll never love this way again,
hold on, hold on, hold on.
I know I'll never love this way again,
so I keep holdin' on before the good is gone.
I know I'll never love this way again,
hold on, hold on.
Repeat last 4 lines and fade.
I'll never stop loving you
Whatever else I may do
My love for you
Will live 'till time itself is trhrough
I'll never stop wanting you
And when forever is through
My heart will beat
The way it does each time we meet
The night doesn't question the stars
That appear in the skies
So why should I question the stars
That appear in my eyes
Of this I'm more than just sure
My love will last and endure
I'll never, no
There are those who can leave love or take it
Love to them is just what they make it
I wish that I were the same
But love is my fav'rite game
I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last
My heart should be well-schooled
'Cause I've been FOOLED in the past
And still I fall in love too easily
He's tall and he's dark
And like the shark, he looks for trouble
That's why the zeroes double
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
He's suave and he's smooth
And he can soothe you like vanilla
The gentleman's a killer
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Damoiselles and danger
Have filled the stranger's past
Like a knife he cuts thro' life
Like every day's the last
He's fast and he's cool
He's from the school that loves and leaves 'em
A pity if it grieves 'em
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's not a fool
Oh, damoiselles and danger
Have filled the stranger's past
Like the knife he cuts thro' life
Like every day's the last
He's fast and he's cool
He's from the school that loves and leaves 'em
A pity if it grieves 'em Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's not a fool
You see this girl
This girl's in love with you
Yes, I’m in love
Who looks at you the way I do
When you smile I can tell
We know each other very well
How can I show you
I’m glad I got to know you, cos
I’ve heard some talk
They say you think I’m fine
This girl's in love
And what I’d do to make you mine
Tell me now is it so
Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking, cos
I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love
And you'll be my guy
If not I’ll just die
Tell me now is it so
Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking, cos
I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love
And you'll be my guy
Sometimes I tell myself I'm leavin' -
And I like to think I could really go.
But it's just my pride that I'm deceivin',
'Cause deep inside, I really know...
(Chorus)
After You, who could there be?
After You, what's left for me?
I'd be lost if you'd ever go -
I'd just be broken in two -
'Cause who could there be After You?
Before you, I was always runnin' -
My heart was always chasin' someone new.
But I could feel a change was comin'
When my heart kept chasin' - right on racin'...
(Chorus)
After You, who could there be?
After You, what's left for me?
I'd be lost if you'd ever go -
I'd be lookin' back my whole life through -
'Cause who could there be After You?
(Bridge)
If I thought someone could take your place,
I'd just be kidding myself.
'Cause I know I'd have to be a fool
To think that I could feel this way for someone else -
For someone else...
(Repeat Chorus)
Gotta get off, gonna get
Have to get off from this ride
Gotta get hold, gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride
When did I get, where did I
How was I caught in this game
When will I know, where will I
How will I think of my name
When did I stop feeling sure, feeling safe
And start wondering why, wondering why
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
What's in back of the sky, why do we cry
Gotta get off, gonna get
Out of this merry-go-round
Gotta get off, gonna get
Need to get on where I'm bound
When did I get, where did I
Why am I lost as a lamb
When will I know, where will I
How will I learn who I am
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
Tell me, when will I know, how will I know
When will I know why?
And I never thought I'd feel this way
and as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
that I do believe I love you.
And if I should ever go away
well
then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
and then if you can remember:
Keep smilin'
keep shinin'
knowing you can always count on me for sure -
That's what friends are for.
For good times and bad times
i'll be on your side forever more -
That's what friends are for.
Well
you came and opened me
and now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you.
and then for the times when we're apart
Well
then close your eyes
and lovely words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember:
Keep smilin'
keep shinin'
. . .
Keep smilin'
keep shinin'
. . .
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
At the end of the storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
Dionne Warwick & Detroit Spinners
Ever since I met you
Seems I can’t forget you
The thought of you keeps running through
The back of my mind
Every time I’m near you
I get that urge to feel you
Just touching you and loving you
Makes everything right
(Tell me how you feel baby)
I never knew love before
Then came you, then came you
I never knew love before
Then came you, then came you
Now that I have found you
How did I live without you
It’s plain to see you’re all I need
To satisfy me
I’m so darned proud of you
I wanna sing about you
For all you know you made love grow
By touching my hand
Oh, I never knew love before
Then came you, then came you
I never knew love before
Then came you, then came you
Yeah, then came you
Oh, I never knew love before
Then came you, then came you
I never knew love before
Then came you, then came you
Oh, I never knew love before
Then came you, then came you
I never knew love before
Then came you, then came you
You know that I never knew love before
Then came you, then came you
I never knew love before
Then came you, then came you
Oh, I never knew love before
Then came you, then came you
I never knew love before

They don't give medals to yesterday's heroes
'Cause yesterday's over and I've got to live for today
I'm goin' places and nothing can stand in my way
Yesterday is over
No they don't give medals to yesterday's heroes
I know my way now, I'll never look back from this day on
I mean to borrow one day from tomorrow
And I'm gonna spend it on sunshine and things that I love
I'm gonna reach out and touch every star above
Yesterday is over
No they don't give medals to yesterday's heroes
So wrap up that lovin' cup, I'm a winner from this day on
Yesterday is over, can't you see it's over?
And I begin livin' today
Yesterday is over, can't you see it's over?
Where has the time all gone to?
Haven't done half the things we want to
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
This day was just a token
Too many words are still unspoken
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
Just when the fun is startin'
Comes the time for partin'
But let's just be glad for what we've had
And what's to come
There's so much more embracin'
Still to be done but time is racin'
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time
There's so much more embracin'
Still to be done but time is racin'
Love has truly been good to me
Not even one sad day
Or minute have I had since you've come my way
I hope you know I'd gladly go
Anywhere you take me
It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
Ooh, I'd go
Got to tell you how you thrill me
I'm happy as I can be
You have come and it's changed my whole world
Bye-bye sadness, hello mellow
What a wonderful day
It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
Ooh, I'd go
And it's so amazing, amazing
I could stay forever, forever
Here in love and no, leave you never
Cos we've got amazing love
Truly it's amazing, amazing
Love brought us together, together
I will leave you never and never
Guess we've got amazing love
Ooh, so amazing, I've been waiting
For a love like you
It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
To the moon in the sky above
It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
It's so amazing to be loved
I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above
It's so amazing to be loved
Put yourself in my place
And you wouldn't do the things you do to me
If you put yourself in my place
You'd know the meaning of misery
Sleepless nights, tossing and turning
Days and nights of worry and wondering
Put yourself in my place
Then you will realize why there are tears
So many tears in my eyes
How can you stand there and tell me
That girl was just an old friend, oh baby
When I seen you with her
Time and time again
You tell me she doesn't mean a thing to you
But in the meanwhile, baby, just look what I'm going through
If you put yourself in my place
You wouldn't see her anymore
Put yourself in my place
You would learn to treat me right
Put yourself in my place
You wouldn't stay out late at night
Put yourself in my place
Ohh, darling, just try it
Put yourself in my place
Put yourself in my place
You'd learn to treat me right
Take good care of you and me
Protect us from the things that hurt love
Jealousies that take you under
Lies that undermine
Please be fair to you and me
And don’t betray the love I give to you
When you’re away don’t make me wonder
If I’m on your mind
Take good care of you and me
Real love is hard to find
Look in my eyes, I’ll fall in love with you
Over and over, for the rest of our lives
Hear what I say now, I want our love to be
The one that’s the strongest
And the one that survives
Cos there’s no-one else, no no-one else
That makes me feel so glad I’m alive
Baby, words are far a note to end on
If we should fall apart
Take good care of you and me
I’ve given you my heart
Look in my eyes, I’ll fall in love with you
Over and over, for the rest of our lives
Hear what I say now, I want our love to be
The one that’s the strongest
And the one that survives
Cos there’s no-one else, no no-one else
That makes me feel so glad I’m alive
Hear what I say now, I want our love to be
The one that’s the strongest
And the one that survives
Cos there’s no-one else, no no-one else
That makes me feel so glad I’m alive
Look in my eyes, I’ll fall in love with you
Over and over, for the rest of our lives
Hear what I say now, I want our love to be
The one that’s the strongest
And the one that survives
Cos there’s no-one else, no no-one else
That makes me feel so glad I’m alive
Look in my eyes, I’ll fall in love with you
Pee-racticality dee-oesn't interest me
Love's the life that I lead
I've got a pocketful of miracles
And with a pocketful of miracles
One little miracle a day is all I need
Tee-roubles more or less bee-other me, I guess
When the sun doesn't shine
But there's that pocketful of miracles
And with a pocketful of miracles
The world's a bright and shiny apple that's mine, all mine
I hear sleigh bells ringing
Smack in the middle of May
I go around like there's snow around
I feel so good, it's Christmas ev'ry day
Lee-ife's a carousel fee-ar as I can tell
And I'm riding for free
So, if you're down and out of miracles
I've got a pocketful of miracles
And there'll be miracles enough for you and me
I hear sleigh bells ringing
Smack in the middle of May
I go around like there's snow around
(I feel so good, it's Christmas ev'ry day)
Lee-ife's a carousel fee-ar as I can tell
And I'm riding for free
(I've got a pocketful of miracles)
But if I had to pick a miracle
Twenty houses in a row
Eighty people watch a TV show
Paper people, cardboard dreams
How unreal the whole thing seems
Can we be living in a world made of paper mache?
Everything is clean and so neat
Anything that?s wrong can be just swept away
Spray it with cologne and the whole world smells sweet
Ice cream cones and candy bars
Swings and things like bicycles and cars
There?s a sale on happiness
You buy two and it costs less
Can we be living in a world made of paper mache?
Everything is clean and so neat
Anything that?s wrong can be just swept away
Spray it with cologne and the whole world smells sweet
Read the papers, keep aware
While you?re lounging in your leather chair
And if things don?t look so good
Shake your head and knock on wood
Can we be living in a world made of paper mache?
Everything is clean and so neat
Anything that?s wrong can be just swept away
Spray it with cologne and the whole world smells sweet
The stars may deceive you
May vanish and leave you
Be smart, only trust your heart
The breeze softly sighing
In truth, may be lying
Be smart, only trust your heart
The warmth of her kisses
May teach you what bliss is
But this is a faithless lover's heart
Only trust your heart, not the firelight
That comes from the starlight
Be smart, only trust your heart
The warmth of her kisses
May teach you what bliss is
But this is a faithless lover's heart
Only trust your heart, not the firelight
That comes from the starlight
I was as wrong as I could be
To let you get away from me
I’ll regret that move for as long as I’m living
And now that I’ve come to see the light
All that I wanna do is make things right
So just say the word and tell me that I’m forgiven
You and me we’re gonna be
Better than we were before
I loved you then but now I intend
To open up and love you even more
This time you can be sure
Never gonna let you go
I’m gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for the times I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we’re gonna be together
Oh I swear this time I’m never gonna let you go
Looking back now it seems so clear
I had it all when you were here
Oh you gave it all and I took it for granted
And if there’s some feeling left in you
A flicker of love that still shines through
Well let’s talk it, let’s talk about our second chances
When you see it’s gonna be
Sweeter than it was before
I gave something but now I intend
To dedicate myself to giving more
This time you can be sure
I’m never gonna let you go
I’m gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for the times I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we’re gonna be together
Oh I swear this time I’m never gonna let you go
Let me hold you to my heart
Let me say that you’re a part of me
And you always will be, I’ve come to see
There’s no-one else but you
So won’t you say you want me too
I’m never gonna let you go
I’m gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for the times I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we’re gonna be together
Oh I swear this time I’m never gonna let you go
I’m never gonna let you go
I’m gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for the times I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we’re gonna be together
Oh I swear this time I’m never gonna let you go
I’m never gonna let you go
I’m gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for the times I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we’re gonna be together
I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss that Devil has known
Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I had to say
Take me back, I love you
I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along
In between the heartaches
You hold me here in your arms
And say you love me
In between the heartaches
The way you kiss I can tell
You're thinking of me
I know you love me
And I that makes up
For all of the heartaches
And the sadness
And the tears
Everyone keeps asking me
Why I stay with you
The way you hurt me
They can see
How many times
I'm alone and blue
When you desert me
You and come and go
Without a letter
And they all say
That I should get up and go
They don't know
They don't know that
In between the heartaches
You hold me here in your arms
And say you love me
In between the heartaches
The way you kiss I can tell
You thinking of me
I know you love me
And that makes up
For all the heartaches
And the sadness
And the tears
They don't ever see us
Intro:
Yo, Wyclef, It's time that I confess (Refugee Camp) to all the girls
(Don't do it, don't do it)
*singing* To all the girls I loved before
*rapping* To all the girls I cheated on before
*singing* To all the girls I loved before
To all the girls I cheated on before, I tip my hat like Willie Nelson
You got pressure, take a sip of this Molson
Here's what happened, it wasn't my intentions
To fall into seduction while playing a temptation
I thought I had it figured out, but games don't last
The hourglass ran out, I got sprayed with the tear gas
Big men don't cry, hold my feelings inside
Stress brings me?, I gotta hold my pride
When I see you with another guy, jealous thoughts of homicide
Call me selfish when I say Abraham has many wives
You say this is the 90's, either it's gonna be me or her
I found myself in a blur
Lookin' into the clouds thinkin' out loud
"I'm in love with two women, who is it gonna be now?"
Chorus:
To all the girls I cheated on before, it's a new year
I got a new change of gear, I swear
I can see clear now the clouds disappeared
You forgive but never forget, so the past reappears, uh huh
To all the girls I cheated on before, it's a new year
I got a new change of gear, I swear
I can see clear now the clouds disappeared
You forgive, but you still think that I'm a ho
I got married at 24 in New Jersey
You know the feelings start nature take it's course
Two years later 'Clef gets a divorce
When I had the cold feet, I shouldn't've walked the altar
With Dionne Warwick, she could predict my future
Went with my feelings even though it wasn't right
Creepin' with my secret lover in the middle of the night
Back home, break of dawn, dinner's at the table
Thin Line Between Love And Hate is on cable
I'm lookin' at myself thinkin' out loud
"I'm in love with two women, who is it gonna be now?"
Repeat chorus
Break: (includes elements from Rapper's Delight)
Hotel, (I'm not a) motel, Holiday Inn (you don't believe me though)
And if your girl acts up at the carnival, then you take her friend
Hotel, (I'm not a) motel, Holiday Inn (you don't believe me though)
And if your girl acts up at the carnival, then you snatch her friend
Break it down right here
One love, you're lucky to have one love
It sounds bugged, drinking wine from the same jug
One heart, one mind, one soul
She ain't a gold digger, she don't care about your bank-roll
Keep your money, she make her own cheddar
All she want from me is respect like Aretha
Cooked me lasagne, stayed in for the winter
Chilled to the summer, now I'm gone 'til November
Have you seen her?
I think I did
But what I did wrong was take a love for granted
Cause first comes trust, don't rush into lust
Easier said than done, I lust and I must
Passion is a must, but then we start to cuss
We was just makin' love, now we tearing up each other's guts
Like species, she called me an animal
So feel the tongue of the warm-blooded mammal
Repeat chorus
Outro:
I'm not a ho (repeat and dimminuendo at the same time)
(You don't believe me though)
I know you're diggin' this
Is it OK if I play my guitar right about now, is it alright?
(You don't believe me though)
Alright (you don't believe me though), alright
People in the back, is it OK if I play my guitar right about now?
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I've been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I'm going back to find
some peace of mind in San Jose
L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years how quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
are parking cars and pumping gas
You can really breathe in San Jose
They've got a lot of space
There'll be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in San Jose
I'm going back to find
some peace of mind in San Jose
Fame and fortune is a magnet
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart you're never alone.
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You pack your car and ride away
L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years how quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
are parking cars and pumping gas
I've got lots of friends in San Jose
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Dionne Warwick & Johnny Mathis
Sometimes lonely nights turn into sunny days
I never thought I’d feel this way, I never knew
That you and I were meant to be in love
Oh darling, you’ve always been around to see me through
How was I to know you’d make my dreams come true
Time and time again we’d fall, always on our own
But now we’re friends in love
Hoping that we’ll always still be friends in love
Strong when we’re together, darling
Now we’ve got forever and a day
Don’t you go away
Remember, every time we cried you came to me
Oh, much to my surprise I found someone who could see
Through the night of loneliness, you were always there for me
We’re friends in love
Hoping that we’ll always still be friends in love
Strong when we’re together, darling
Now we’ve got forever and a day
Don’t you go away
You turned around and looked my way
I can’t say that it hasn’t crossed my mind
I’ve loved you all along
Oh and now we’re leaving yesterday behind
We’ll never be alone, oh
We’re friends in love
Hoping that we’ll always still be friends in love
Strong when we’re together, darling
Now we’ve got forever and a day
Don’t you go away
You and I are friends in love
Hoping that we’ll always still be friends in love
Strong when we’re together, darling
Now we’ve got forever and a day
Oooh Yeah
Nothing's better than family,
For the ones who love you so
Be a shoulder to cry on when you are in need
They will never leave you alone
When your friends bring you down
And they drag you through the dirt
And nobody is around
They will carry you through the hurt
Just remember that family comes first
Where you gonna run to? when no one is around
Do you think how dare they will love you.
When your face is on the ground? (face is on the ground),
When you feel your strength is almost gone
And When your heart is getting weak (getting weak)
And you don't think you can keep holding on
And they stand for your feet (just remember)
Family comes first
I can see you crying - someone broke your heart,
Instead of being with those who love you,
You spend time apart, It's because you think
They won't understand
The pain you're going through, So you don't reach out your
Hand for them, 'til they'll pull and reach for you.
Just remember that family comes first
Where you gonna run to? when no one is around
Do you think how dare they will love you.
When your face is on the ground? (face is on the ground),
When you feel your strength is almost gone
And When your heart is getting weak (getting weak)
And you don't think you can keep holding on
And they stand for your feet (just remember)
Family comes first
Don't you be ashamed of your family, put you into this earth,
And that's what it's worth unconditionally, sometimes you may
Disagree and won't see eye to eye
Don't you run away they will be right by your side
Ooooh ohhh
Where you gonna run to? when no one is around
Do you think how dare they will love you.
When your face is on the ground? (face is on the ground),
When you feel your strength is almost gone
And When your heart is getting weak (getting weak)
And you don't think you can keep holding on
And they stand for your feet (just remember)
Family comes first
Yeahyeah (yeah yeah yeah)
I bless the day I found you
I wanna stay around you
And so I beg you let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever let it be me
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be
I bless the day I found you
I wanna stay around you
And so I beg you let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever let it be me
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you’ll always let it be me
Please let it be me
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you’ll always let it be me
You never close your eyes any more when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
Mmm, you're trying hard not to show it, baby
But baby, baby I know it
You've lost that loving feeling
Oh, that loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa
Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
Baby, you're starting to criticise every, every, every little thing that I do
Oh it makes me just feel like crying, baby
Cos baby, something beautiful's dying
You've lost that loving feeling
Oh that loving feeling
You've lost that loving feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa
Baby, baby, I’d get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me, love me like you used to do, yeah
You know that we had a love, a love a love you don't find every day, no, no
So don't, don't, don't, baby don’t throw it away, no, no don’t throw it away
Baby, baby I beg you please, please
I need your love, I need your love
So bring all back, bring all back
Bring back that loving feeling
Oh, that loving feeling
Bring back that loving feeling
Cos it's gone, gone, gone
Mother told me always to follow the golden rule.
And she said it's really a sin to be mean and cruel.
So remember if you're untrue
Angels up in heaven are looking at you.
(Chorus)
You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart.
so be very careful not to make us part.
You won't get to heaven if you break my heart. . .
I've been hearin' rumors about how you play around.
Though I don't believe what I hear, still it get's me down.
If you ever should say goodbye
I'd feel so awful the angels would cry.
Chorus
-----------------------
(if you break my heart, If you break my heart)
-----------------------
I can hardly wait for the day when we say I do.
It's a day i dreamed of so long now comin' true.
You will promise to cherish me.
If you break your promise the angels will see.
Chorus
La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la,
laaaaa
La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa, la. la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la,
laaaaa
La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa. . . .
Who gets the guy at the end of the show?
I'd like to know
People say you have found another
Is it true, what they say?
When the picture's over, will it be all over?
Tell me, who gets the guy
In that last sweet caress?
Don't make me guess
Lovin' you has become my whole life
I can't live without you
When it's time to walk out
Are you gonna walk out?
And that's why I just keep listenin'
To the music to see if it's happy or sad
Because if it's happy that's how I feel
And if it's sad, well, that's too bad for me
Woah, can't you see just how much I need you?
It just has to be me
Tell me that the ending is a happy ending for me
And that I get the guy
Woah, can't you see just how much I need you?
It just has to be me
Please tell me that the ending is a happy ending
Can't you see just how much I need you?
The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now
And wondering what dress to wear, now
I say a little prayer for you
(chorus)
Forever, forever
you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, forever
we never will part
Oh how I'll love you
Together, together
that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me
I run for the bus, dear
While riding I think of us, dear
I say a little prayer for you
At work, I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time
I say a little prayer for you
(chorus)
I say a little prayer for you
I say a little prayer for you
(chorus)
My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
I fall in love and I get hurt
When bad luck hits I get it first
To try again seems useless now
I'll get hurt again anyhow
'Cause I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain
I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain
A sunny day, life's so gay
Then suddenly it goes away
Without a warning, lightning strikes
I'm heading for another lonely night
I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain
I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
Caught in the rain
I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain
I always get caught in the rain
It seems my heart stays in pain
I always get caught in the rain
They told me love don’t last forever
Now I understand
To think that only yesterday
You held me in your hands
And I became a woman
And you became the world to me
I was lost, no dream to hide
No star to fall apart
Your heart it rang oh in me
You led me to believe that I was
Yours, yours, I swallowed every lie
And you will cry when I’m away
On your own like me
When I was yours
I could live my life without you
But that is not enough
I can’t lie awake believing
You don’t want my love
Alone in my desire
And still the fire burns, my friend
I was there, I loved you well
Though we are far apart I love you still
I believed the very moment when you call me
Yours, yours, don’t let me die inside
Save me from the memories
The hours that I cried
Say to me that I am
Yours, yours, love eternally
And you will cry when I’m away
On your own like me
When I was yours
Oh, yours, yours, don’t let me die inside
Save me from the memories
The hours that I cried
Say to me that I am
Yours, yours, love eternally
And you will cry when I’m away
The hours that I cried
Say to me that I am
Yours, yours, don’t let me die inside
Save me from the memories
The hours that I cried
Baby won’t you say to me
Come closer now
So I can see you in the dark
I wanna hold your body next to mine
I wanna hurry love and take my time
Hold onto me
And let me feel you in my arms
Touch me and slowly steal my breath away
Then tell me things that no one else would say
And I wanna feel your heart here every night
And I long to hear your voice saying, "It's alright"
To know you, so you
Whisper in the dark
Stuck there in the night, I know
Touch me with a spark
And as we join together, love, I'll never let you go
Where we are
Is where I always want to stay
I love to kiss you as we break apart
And share the secrets deep inside my heart
And I want to feel you right here every night
I long to hear your voice saying, 'It's alright'
To know you, so you
Whisper in the dark
Stuck there in the night, I know, I know
Touch me with a spark
And as we join together, love, I'll never let you go
Never let you go
Travel with me through time and space
Each night is all we need
Our love will be a private place
To come to, so you
Whisper in the dark, in the dark
Stuck there in the night, I know
Touch me with a spark
And as we join together, love
We will whisper in the dark
Stuck there in the night, I know
Touch me with a spark
Stuck there in the night, I know
Whisper in the dark
Stuck there in the night, I know
Touch me with a spark
And if you don’t believe what I say
You won't believe I’m not that way
And I never meant to turn the hurt around
I would be a fool to lose the love I found
And if you take me back I’ll let you know
I'll be stronger than before, I will love you even more
Oh, I’ll take you back, if you come back
I’ll take you anywhere you ever want to be
You're the light inside of me
Oh, I’ll take you back, if you come back to me
And if you heard the whole thing before
Then once again, I’ll tell you more
I would be a fool to ever let you go
But I had to go away to finally know
How much I need you back, I need your love
I'll be stronger than before, I will love you even more
Oh, I’ll take you back, if you come back
I’ll take you anywhere you ever want to be
You're the light inside of me
Oh, I’ll take you back, if you come back to me
I'll be stronger than before, I will love you even more
Oh, I’ll take you back, if you come back
I’ll take you anywhere you ever want to be
You're the light inside of me
Oh, I’ll take you back, if you come back to me
If you come back, come back to me, come back and
I'll be stronger than before, I will love you even more
Oh, I’ll take you back, if you come back
I’ll take you anywhere you ever want to be
You're the light inside of me
Oh, I’ll take you back, if you come back to me
