Nineteen Eighty Four
Someday they won't let you
Now you must agree
The times they are a telling
And the changing isn't free
You read it in the tea leaves
And the tracks are on TV
Beware the Savage Jaw
In Nineteen Eighty Four
They'll split your pretty cranium
And fill it full of air
They'll tell you that you're eighty
And really you won't care
You'll be shooting up on everything
Tomorrow's never there
Beware the Savage Jaw
In Nineteen Eighty Four

Come see, come see
Remember me
I played in an all night movie role
You said it would last
But I guess we've enrolled
In Nineteen Eighty Four
Who could ask for more
Nineteen Eighty Four
Who could ask for more

I'm looking for a vehicle
I'm looking for a ride
I'm looking for a party
I'm looking for a side
I'm looking for a treason
That I knew in Sixty Five
Beware the savage roar
In Nineteen Eighty Four

Come see, come see
Remember me
I played in an all night movie role
You said it would last
But I guess we've enrolled
In Nineteen Eighty Four
Who could ask for more
Nineteen Eighty Four
Who could ask for more
Nineteen Eighty Four

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh, and like that river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

It's been too hard living and I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

I go to the movies and I go around in town
Everybody there keeps telling me "don't hang around"
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

Then I go to my brother
And I say "Brother, please"
But he just winds up, knocking me
Back down on my knees

Sometimes I thought I wouldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

There's something on my mind
Won't somebody please, please tell me what's wrong

[Chorus:]
You're just a fool, you know you're in love
You've got to face it to live in this world
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad
You know you love him, you can't understand
Why he treats you like he do when he's such a good man

He's got me smiling when I should be ashamed
Got me laughing when my heart is in pain
Oh no, I must be a fool
Cause I'll do anything you want me to do

[Chorus]

Without my man I don't wanna live
You think I'm lying but I'm telling you like it is
He's got my nose open and that's no lie
And I, I'm gonna keep him satisfied

[Chorus]

Waves of action speak louder than words
The truest thing that I ever heard
I trust my man and all that he do
And I, and I'll do anything you want me to do

Absolutely nothing's changed
This is my heart talking
It's time to face reality
This spell I'm under can't last much longer
Any fool can see
You come here with your promises
But I remember all the lies
I bought the laughter, happy ever after
How could I be so blind, so blind

[Chorus:]
'Cause absolutely nothing's changed
You play with my emotions
I'll live to fight another day
I_m bruised but I ain't broken, I ain't broken

Now you say you're sorry
For everything you put me through
You wanna make up, I just gotta wake up
It's the same old you
The same old you

[Chorus]

Ooh I've been dreaming but it's over now
(Bad dreams are over now)
I'm gonna rise up, rise above all the troubles and tears
I'm down but I ain't out
(Play with my emotions I may be bruised, I ain't broken)
'Cause absolutely nothing's changed
At last my eyes are open
I'm gonna live to fight another day
I may be bruised but I ain't broken, ain't broken
'Cause absolutely nothing's changed
Absolutely nothing
I'll live to fight another day
I may be bruised but I ain't broken
'Cause absolutely nothing's changed
Absolutely nothing
I'm gonna live to fight another day
I may be bruised but I ain't broken
'Cause absolutely nothing's changed

If your child ain't all he should be now
This girl will put him right
I'll show him what he could be now
Just give me one night
I'm the Gypsy - The acid Queen
Pay before we start
I'm the Gypsy - The acid queen
I'll tear your soul apart

Give us a room and close the door
Leave us for a while
Your boy won't be a boy no more
Young, but not a child
I'm the Gypsy - The acid queen
Pay before we start
I'm the Gypsy - The acid queen
I'll tear your soul apart

Gather your wits and hold on fast
Your mind must learn to roam
Just as the Gypsy Queen must do
You're gonna hit the road
My work is done now look at him
He's never been more alive
His head it shakes his fingers clutch
Watch his body writhe
I'm the Gypsy - The acid queen
Pay before we start
I'm the Gypsy - I'm guaranteed
To break your little heart

The lights are on but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your body sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can't eat, you can't sleep
There's no doubt you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need

You like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh, yeah
It's closer to the truth, you know
You're gonna have to face it
You might as well face it, you're addicted to love

You see the signs but you can't read
You're running at a different speed
Your heart beats at double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine
One track mind, you can't be saved
Another young love is all you crave
And if the sun left you
You don't mind if you do

You like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh, yeah
It's closer to the truth, you see
You're gonna have to face it
You're gonna have to face that you're addicted to love

You might as well face it, you're addicted to love

I need you here beside me to chase the night away
I need your love to guide me safe through another day
I lie and watch the lights go down
Say goodnight to another town
And though it hurts to be alone
I have my thoughts of you to keep me warm
In the afterglow of your love
Dreaming's all I'm guilty of
Everyday I'm playing tough
But read my mind

[Chorus:]
If you could see me now
Just living my life in a limbo
If you could see me now
The me that only you would know
Still burning in the afterglow

When the beat of the drum has faded
The show comes to an end
The stage is cleared and loaded
And the highway calls again
I stand and watch the lights go down
In the afterglow of your love
Dreaming's all I'm guilty of
Everyday I'm playing tough
But read my mind

[Chorus]

If you could see me now

Stay with me right to the end
Till I can hold you again

[Chorus]

There's a time for love and a time for healing
Can't go back and undo what's been done
The word of mouth, time is revealing
Just how far we've left this kingdom come

Hand in hand we're finding our way
And today is just tomorrow's yesterday

[Chorus:]
Some will die for you, some will lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Turn the world around, tear the borders down
There's all kinds of people in this world

Kiss of life and the hand of fate
Boy grows up into his father's son
And he learns to love, has been taught to hate
To carry on the way it had been done

All our lives, it's debts to repay
Maybe someday we can put the past away

[Chorus]

Some will die for you, some will lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Put your fear away, find a better way
There's all kinds of people in this world

Underneath a broken sky
Love can heal the pain inside
In a moment things can change
One look behind and it's never the same

Don't walk crowded streets
Choose every dream from a magazine stand
I don't buy into that
All day TV shows
Sell their souls just to make living easy
I don't buy into that
I don't need satin and lace (No, no, no)
I'll bring a smile to your face

I'll never be a fire but I will be the flame
I'll never be a diamond but I'll never be fake
No I've never been a winner but I still play the game
Can't you see, this is me
I'm all the woman that I wanna be
Good times, can't get enough
Life can be tough but it's all for a reason
I sure buy into that
Life goes around and around
We seek what we found 'cause it's all an illusion
I sure buy into that
I know the waters of fate
Will keep on flowing my way

I'll never be a fire but I will be the flame
I'll never be a diamond but I'll never be fake (No, no)
I've never been a winner but I still play the game
Baby can't you see, this is me
I'm all the woman that I want...
I've never been afraid of myself
I don't buy into that, I don't buy into that
I don't wanna be nobody else
I don't buy into that
I don't buy into that
I don't buy into that

I'll never be a fire but I will be the flame (Be the flame)
I'll never be a diamond but I'll never be fake (Oh no, no, no)
I've never been a winner but I still play the game
Baby baby can't you see that this is me
I'm all the woman that I want (All I wanna be)
I'll never be a fire but I will be the flame (Be the flame)
I'll never be a diamond but I'll never be fake (Oh no, no, no)
I've never been a winner but I still play the game
Can't you see, this is me
And I'm all the woman that I wanna be

Oh, I'm waiting in the storm, ask me how I feel
When things are going wrong, why don't you ask me how I feel
The night is awful cold, ask me how I feel
You're much too loose to hold, why don't you ask me how I feel

I close my eyes, to follow you
To my surprise, you're so untrue
And I'm crying, I'm dying

Oh, I'm waiting in the storm, ask me how I feel
When you keep me hanging on, why don't you ask me how I feel
The waters run so deep, ask me how I feel
When I don't get any sleep, why don't you ask me how I feel

And when you're down, you lean on me
You're a fool, too blind to see
That I'm crying, I'm dying

Oh, I'm waiting in the storm, why don't you ask me how I feel?
What the hell is going on, why don't you ask me how I feel?
When you stay out late at night, ask me how I feel
When you think that I'm uptight, why don't you ask me how I feel oh

You don't treat me tender, no matter what I do
But I'm the great pretender, whoa...

I'm waiting in the storm, ask me how I feel
What the hell is going on?
When you stay out late at night
You never ask me how I feel
You just say that I'm uptight
When you're down, I do for you
And now I find that you're untrue

You don't know girl how you blow my mind
I said now
Baby won't you hear what I say
I want your lovin' in the worst darn way so come on
Baby let's get it on!
Well you're the finest girl I ever found in my life
I wanna stick to you like white on white so come on
Baby let's get it on
Now I said now:
Baby
Baby
Baby
Get it on!
You know that I've been waiting too doggone long
So come on
Baby let's get it on!
Now you don't want me enough for me to turn me on
Come on
Baby
What you're waitin' on? Come on
Baby
Baby
Baby
Get it on!
Now you're the finest girl just as fine as can be
I want ev'ry joy for you and me so come on
Baby let's get it on.

Now I said now ...

Baby, tell me what you're trying to prove
Playing games with my heart
Hey now listen, I ain't gonna take one more night
You're the one who broke the rules
And I'm the one who played the fool
Now you're trying to tell me it's alright
You should know better than to hurt a friend
You'll never get another chance again

[Chorus:]
You'll be back where you started
I know you won't admit it but you're broken-hearted
Back where you started
You think it's gonna be easy but it just gets harder, harder

You had a way with words
One look and I was under your spell
I didn't know should I stay or should I run
You can't deny you told me lies
Love 'em and leave 'em, baby, that's your style
I'm not afraid to take life as it comes
You play with fire I guess you'll never learn
You mess with me, babe, you 're gonna get burned

You'll be back where you started
Then you'll know how it feels when you've been discarded
Back where you started
You think you got it made but it won't get you far, no it won't get you far

Who's gonna help ya, throw you a lifetime
I'll tell you one thing, you've really done it this time
You took your one chance and let it slip away
You're not the kind who'll ever settle down
The rumor's getting out all over town
You'll be...

[Chorus]

You got the right to tell me it's all over
It isn't like me to be, begging you
Don't let go, don't let go
Just stay with me another day
When I'm not myself, please understand me
I'm so confused I don't know, what to do
But don't give up, don't give up
It just may take a little time

[Chorus:]
Be tender with me baby
I'm so afraid you'll go away
Be tender with me baby
Always, for always

I know that you've been patient with my weakness
And that you hate to see me cry
But I know, yes I know
It doesn't hurt to be this way
But I'm so lonely I could die

[Chorus]

Why does my heart keep hurting
Why do I feel like I do
I hope you see this is not really me
It's just a phase that I'm going through

[Chorus]

A prisoner of your love
Entangled in your web
Hot whispers in the night
I'm captured by your spell captured
Oh yes I'm touched by this show of emotion
Should I be fractured by your lack of devotion
Should I, should I?

[Chorus:]
You better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
Cause I don't have no use
For what you loosely call the truth
Oh, You better be good to me

I think it's also right
That we don't need to fight
We stand face to face
And you present your case
And I know you keep telling me that you love me
And I really do wanna believe
But did you think I'd just accept you in blind faith
Oh sure babe, anything to please you

[Chorus]

You better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
Cause I don't have the time
For your over loaded lines
You better be good to me

And I really don't see
Why it's so hard to be
Good to me
And I don't understand
What's your plan
That you can't be
Good to me
What I can't feel I surely cannot see
Why can't you be
Good to me
And if it's not real
I do not wish to see
Why can't you be
Good to me

Every road that I walk
Every single flight I ever take
Though I'm thousands of miles away
In my mind every journey leads me closer to you
I've been all around this world
I've been in far too many states
But I'm under your spell
I've made my mistakes, oh, you can probably tell

You're every dream that I dream
You're every beautiful thing I've ever seen
I'm always singing your praises
Counting the days away

[Chorus:]
I would be your slave
I'd even be your fool
I'm so in love with you
I'm in love with you baby
I'm gonna break every rule

I hope you can forgive
Every white lie I'm forced to tell
They say that everything's fair in love and in war
And I'm not above cheating for you
One night I'll catch you off your guard
And you will finally fall so hard
Strategically speaking I'm already beaten
I'll surrender to you
You're every dream that I dream
You're every beautiful thing I've ever seen
I'm always singing your praises
Counting the days away

[Chorus]

Every road that I walk on
Every flight that I ever take
Every dream that I dream of
Every journey brings me closer to you

She knows about me
I heard about your secret life
She thinks that you're a family man
You got two babies and a wife

I never thought you'd sink this love
Two many lovers in this wrong
I'm sufocating

And now you're standing in front of me
Begging me not to leave
Complicated disaster
And as I struggle to understand
What became of the man who
Promised me ever after

I turn away but I can't run
You're all that I remember

It's been three hours
Since she shared her story in this room
She seems like such a gentle girl
You came and left her much too soon

She said it lasted just six months

The fear of being completely wrong
Has taken over

And now you're standing in front of me
Begging me not to leave
Complicated disaster
And as I struggle to understand
What became of the man who
Promised me ever after

I turn away but I can't run
You're all that I remember

All the plans we were making
Just got washed away with the tears
I'm drowning
But you can't save me
This time

Complicated disaster

And now you're standing in front of me
Begging me not to leave
Complicated disaster
And as I struggle to understand
What became of the man who
Promised me ever after

Sono umane situazioni
Quei momenti fra di noi
I distacchi ed i ritorni
Da capirci niente poi
Gia come vedi
Sto pensando a te...si...da un po'

They're just human contradictions
Feeling happy feeling sad
These emotional transitions
All the memories we've had
Yes, you know it's true
I just can't stop thinking of you

No I just can't pretend
All the time we spent could die
Wanna feel it again
All the love we felt then

Confinanti di cuore solo che ognuno sta
Dietro gli steccati degli orgogli suoi
Sto pensando a te
Sto pensando a noi

Sono cose della vita
Vanno prese un po' cosi
Some for worse and some for better
But through it all we've come so far
Gia...come vedi
Io sto ancora in piedi perche

Sono umani tutti i sogni miei
Con le mani io li prenderei, si perch¨
What's life without a dream to hold?
Take my hand and never let me go

It's part of life together
But what future does it hold?
Sono cose della vita
Ma la vita poi dov'e

Yes, you know it's true
I just can't stop thinking of you
Questa notte che passa piano accanto a me
Cerco di affrontarla, afferrarla
If our hearts miss a beat
Or get lost like a ship at sea
I wanna remember, I can never forget

Can't stop thinking of you
Sto pensando a noi
Can't stop thinking of you
Can't stop

Somewhere out in the galaxy
A number's up but not for me
There's a light inside the window
And the curtain's coming down
Pig is on the spit and turning round

Going crazy in the night
Crazy in the night

Dropped in from Munich with a master plan
Guess he left his wife and kids at home
He's got so much money rollin'
From the crimes he'll commit
But the Siamese cats are gonna take a little bit

Going crazy in the night
Crazy in the night
Will I turn and run or do I stand and face the gun...oh
Going crazy in the night
Everybody seemed to have lost their way
Crazy in the night
Seems there's no way outta here
Do I turn and run....No!

Got no hands but I've got my head
I've come so far from the temple
Maybe this is Babylon or maybe it's a dream
If it weren't so beautiful, it would be obscene
Drinking with the panthers, dancing for their life
God, this place is hungry
Come and see the players but don't stay for the show
The cats are out tonight, hungry for their rites

Going crazy in the night
Crazy in the night
Will I turn and run or do I stand and face the gun
Going crazy in the night
Everybody seemed to've lost their way
Crazy in the night
Seems there's no way outta here
Will I turn and run...No

Got no hands but I've got my head
I've come so far from the temple
Maybe this is Babylon or maybe its a dream
If it weren't so beautiful

I've been running from the truth
I've been running since my youth
Tired of the running
I will stand here till you see
I am you and you are me
Tired of the running

There really is no difference when you look beneath the skin
Someday I know we'll go beyond this world we're living in

[Chorus:]
Now when I lay me down to sleep
I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be
I will be dancing
Now when I lay me down to sleep
I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be
I will be dancing
Dancing in my dreams

There's no hiding in the dark
From the beating of my heart
It's getting louder
Just as long as we believe
The truth will set us free
It's getting louder

All that really matters is the light in your face
In you I see the longing of the whole human race

[Chorus]

On and on the story goes
Or it's the passing of the torch
With one small voice it all begins
Then there are millions more
Millions more

[Chorus]

To my surprise one hundred stories high
People getting loose now, getting down on the roof
Folks screaming, out of control
It was so entertaining when the boogie starts to explode

[Chorus:]
I heard somebody say
(Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno (Burn baby burn)
Burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno (Burn baby burn)
Burn that mother down

Satisfaction came in a chain reaction
I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody is going strong, and that is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
(Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno (Burn baby burn)
Burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno (Burn baby burn)
Burn that mother down

Up above my head
I hear music in the air (I hear music)
That makes me know
There's a party somewhere

(Just can't stop) When my spark gets hot
(Just can't stop) When my spark gets hot

When you say the things, you say you gotta mean it
And when you do the things you do, it's gotta come from the heart

Something's gone, I can't explain
The heat is missing from the plain
Can't deny it, there's a link missing from the chain
There's something wrong with you and me
When more than one adds up to three
Don't know the reason, but the fact is plain to see
It's the touch that you lose, and the words you don't say
It's our love you abuse, don't you throw it away

[Chorus:]
When you do what you do like you do to me
Don't you know that it ain't enough
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
When you do what you do without love, without love

I'm gonna paint a picture of you
The only color I need is blue
You're out of love, baby you know it's true
Tell me why and I'll try to understand

[Chorus]

Cause I could cry when you do what you do to me
Don't you know that it ain't enough
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
When you do what you do without love

It's the touch that you lose, and the words you don't say
It's the love you refuse, don't you throw it away

[Chorus]

When you do what you do
Don't you know that it ain't enough
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
Then you know it's a crime that you kill me up
When you do what you do without love, without love
Don't know what you're doing, what you're doing without love

All of my life, all of my life
I've been searching for a love like ours
Somewhere to stay, somewhere safe in your arms
I was so sure
Are you really saying your heart's changing?
Do you really mean goodbye?

[Chorus:]
Don't leave me this way, no, no
Don't tell me it's over
We've only begun and our love is so young
You're leaving me nowhere
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way

Say what's on your mind, one thing at a time
And I promise you, we'll talk it through
Don't walk away, there's so much more to say
Though my words seem lost on you
Can't believe you're talking like we're just friends
Can't you see the tears I've cried?

[Chorus]

Are you really saying your heart's changing?
Do you really mean it this time?
Baby...Don't leave me this way, oh no

[Chorus]

Where I've been, you don't know. And what I've got, baby, it don't show.
Now, I won't try to teach you how, don't talk now.
Don't talk roads, don't talk sand. Don't talk dust, don't talk no man.
Don't talk rules, don't talk vows, don't talk now.

I don't wanna hear the same old song,
and too many rights still make her wrong, baby.
I know she can't hurt me less by talking more,
she can't make good what was bad before.

No, It's too late now for me to lie and I can't make a second try.
I just came on back baby got to say good bye, good bye.
Don't talk now, don't talk now. Don't talk now, don't talk now.

This is the moment when the gods expect me
To beg for help but I won't even try
I want nothing in the world but myself to protect me
But I won't lie down, roll over and die

All I have to do is to forget how much I love him
All I have to do is put my longing to one side
Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation
Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died

It's easy, it's easy

Until I think about him as he was when I last saw him
And how he would have been were I to be with him today
Tender in his manner and my self-consolation
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away

It's easy, easy as life

All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him
On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart
Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding
Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start

It's easy, it's easy

Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him
And how he would have been were I to be with him today
Those very rare occasions don't let up, they keep on coming
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away

It's easy, it's easy as life

And then I see the faces of a worn defeated people
A father and a nation who won't let a coward run
Is this how the gods reward the faithful through the ages
Forcing us to prove that all the hardest things we've done

Are easy, so easy

And though I'll think about him until the earth draws in around me
And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love
This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption
Redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above

It's easy, it's easy, it's easy as life

Falling
Help me, I'm falling
Helplessly falling
Falling for you
And mountains
There may be mountains
The highest mountain
Won't keep me from you, oh yeah

[Chorus:]
For you I'd swim across an ocean wide
Just to be with you I'd even dare to fly
It's the miracle that happens every time I fall for you, oh yeah
And forever and forever without end
I just keep...Falling
Needing and wanting
The only one thing
That I want is you, oh yeah

[Chorus]

Really brings me down, I don't know how
That you can say you're not my kind
Couldn't find a cloud, for miles around
Why do you change your story line

It all goes gray again, sometimes I don't know when
To come out of the storm
It feels like forty days and forty nights
I've been beating on your door
I'm falling like rain
Oh, I, I love ya, love ya, love ya
Falling like rain
Oh, I, I'm coming down around ya I will always think about you

My sentimental ways don't seem to phase you
I don't ever wanna force your hand
If you met me one time, just half the way
I could meet you where you are
Just meet me where I am
Cause every now and then you've gotta drive right in
Deeper than deep
You take a chance and then you give the wheel a spin
Anyone can see I'm falling like rain
Oh, I, I love ya, love ya, love ya
Falling like rain
Oh, I, I'm coming down around ya
I will always think about you

A one in a million chance
You know the moment that you cross over the line
A casual glance
No one has to read between the lines
In the south of France it was springtime
Special feelings come alive
There's romance in the air, so they say
Love could be a small cafe away

Love is a piece of cake
And making love is all there is to eat
It's a heart out of a limb
When you start to feel forever in a kiss

But you must remember there's no point of refuge
You only have a part in a lover's play
And you could be the one left in the dark
If someone takes a shortcut to your heart

All too soon you're touching for the last time
No one has to tell you how it is
It's just a memory two people share
File it under foreign affair

I tied my bandana, took my pack from the floor
You were still sleeping,as i stood at the door
Once more i was heading to,God only knows where
That's when it hit me,i was already there

I could ramble,a thousand miles or more
Never find the light i've seen in your eyes before
You gave me the freedom to go on my own way
But you gave me much more,you gave me the freedom to stay

Why keep on running,just to wish on a star
Searching for Heaven,when i know where you are
Life is just empty,when you're walking alone
So wherever we're going girl,Lord it's good to be at home

Dangles of dust
Itching for the last
Goes around
Dum, dum
Shadows go out
Streets come alive
Shake some phone for relit it on

And I check in
Someone I thought
Someone the same
I give you hand
Then I'll be wait
Showing no game
But here's no prey
Shoulda be

Fruits of the night
Got hard it slow
When it's not
I got my fruits of the night
Oh, that's get so dumb
So romantic

Wicked princess
Wanna the best
All dressed down to get up the prince
And I'm becoming smile
Hearonic while
Hey, don't you know
You got caught it, yeah, yeah

And I'll beware
You wanna that
And she wanna sale
I give you hand
And I check in
Showing no game
Where ain't flame
There's just stop here

Fruits of the night
Got hard it slow
When it's not
I got my fruits of the night
Oh, that's get so dumb
So romantic

Ooh, what you need
That special key
You're so weird up on your knees
Going for this
Dying for that
But that's just normal cigarette

Fruits of the night
Got hard it slow
But it's not
Fruits of the night Just a photo
So romantic
Fruits of the night
I got my fruits of the night, yeah
Fruits of the night
Got my fruits of the night, yeah

Do, do, do, yeah

Fruits of the night
I got my fruits of the night, yeah
Fruits of the night

Do, do do do do, do do do, do

Fruits of the night
Got my fruits of the night
[repeat until fade]"

See reflections on the water
More than darkness in the depths
See him surface and never a shadow
On the wind I feel his breath

Goldeneye, I found his weakness
Goldeneye, he'll do what I please
Goldeneye, no time for sweetness
But a bitter kiss will bring him to his knees

You'll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child
You'll never know how it feels to be the one who's left behind
You'll never know the days and the nights, the tears, the tears I've cried
But now my time has come and time, time is not on your side

See him move through smoke and mirrors
Feel his presence in the crowd
Other girls they gather around him
If I had him I wouldn't let him out

Goldeneye, not lace or leather
Golden chain take him to the spot
Goldeneye, I'll show him forever
It will take forever to see what I've got

You'll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child
You'll never know how it feels to get so close and be denied
It's a gold and honey trap I've got for you tonight
Revenge is a kiss

This time I won't miss
Now I've got you in my sight
With a goldeneye
Golden, goldeneye
With a goldeneye, goldeneye

A long time forgotten
Dreams that just fell by the way.
The good life he promised,
It ain't what she's living today.

She's never complaining
Of the bad times and the bad things he's done.
Lord, she just talks about the good times they've had
And the good times to come.

She's a good-hearted woman
In love with a good-timing man.
She loves him in spite of his ways
That she don't understand.

Through teardrops and laughter
They'll pass through this world hand in hand
A good-timing woman
In love with a good-hearted man.

He likes the bright lights and night life
And good-timing friends.
When the party's all over
She'll welcome him back home again.
Kinky!

Lord knows she don't understand him
She does the best that she can,
This good-hearted woman
Loving a good-timing man.
Kinky, aw!

She's a good-hearted woman
In love with a good-timing man,
She loves me in spite of my wicked ways
She don't understand.

Through teardrops and laughter
We'll pass through this world hand in hand,
A good-timing woman
In love with a good-hearted man.

She's a good-timing woman
In love with a good-hearted man.
She loves me in spite of my donald duck ways
She don't understand.

(one more time!)
Through teardrops and laughter
We'll pass through this world hand in hand
Kinky!
A good-timing woman
In love with a good-hearted man.
Ah-ooh!

A good-timing woman
In love with a good-hearted man.
Ah-ooh!

One, two, three

When the earth was young
And the air was sweet
And the mountains kissed the sky
In the great beyond, with its many paths
Man and nature lived side by side

In this wilderness of danger and beauty
Lived three brothers, bonded by love
Their hearts full of joy
They ask now for guidance
Reaching out to the skies up above

Great Spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls
With all you know
Show us that in your eyes
We are all the same
Brothers to each other
In this world we remain truly
Brothers all the same

Give us wisdom to pass to each other
Give us strength so we understand
That the things we do
The choices we make
Give direction to all life's plans

To look in wonder
At all we've been given
In a world that's not always as it seems
Every corner we turn
Only leads to another
A journey ends, but another begins

Great Spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls
With all you know
Show us that in your eyes
We are all the same
Brothers to each other
In this world we remain truly
Brothers all the same

Brothers all the same

When I was younger
So much younger than today
I never needed anybody's
Help in anyway
And now those days are gone
I'm not so self assured
And now I find
I've changed my mind
I've opened up the doors

[Chorus:]
Help me if you can
I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate
You being 'round
Oh, help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

And now my life has changed
In oh so many ways
My independence seems to
Vanish in the haze
And every now and then
I feel so insecure
And now I just need you like
I never did before

[Chorus]

Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft against your skin
Like the shadow on the wall

Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't care what's right or wrong
I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

I don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night

[Chorus:]
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Because he's not here with me

Hey window pane
Do you remember
How sweet it used to be
When we were together
Everything was so grand
Now that we're parted
There's one sound
That I just can't stand

[Chorus]

I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Dreams of yesterday)
Those happy hours that we once knew
Tho' long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Those happy hours)
Those happy hours
(That we once knew)
That we once knew
(Tho' long ago)
Tho' long ago
(Still make me blue)
Still ma-a-a-ake me blue
(They say that time)
They say that time
(Heals a broken heart)
Heals a broken heart
(But time has stood still)
Time has stood still
(Since we've been apart)
Since we've been apart

(I can't stop loving you)
I said I made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(Sing a song, children)
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life of dreams of yesterday
(Of yesterday)

There's a pale moon in the sky
The kind you make your wishes on
Like the light in your eyes
The one I built my dreams upon
It's not there any longer
Something happened somewhere
And we both know why
But me, I'm getting stronger
We must stop pretending
I can't live this life

I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really wanna fight no more
(Too much talking babe)
Let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really wanna fight no more
(This is time for letting go)

I hear a whisper in the air
It simply doesn't bother me
Can't you see that I don't care
Or are you you looking right through me
Seems to me that lately
You look at me the wrong way and I start to cry
Could it be that maybe
This crazy situation is the reason why

I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really wanna fight no more
(Too much talking babe)
Let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really wanna fight no more
(Tired of all these games)

But baby don't you know
That I don't wanna hurt no more
(It's time, I'm walking babe)
Don't care now who's to blame
I don't really wanna fight no more
(This is time for letting go)

Hanging on to the past
It only stands in our way
We had to grow for our love to last
But we just grew apart

No, I don't wanna hurt no more
But baby don't you know
No I don't wanna hurt no more
(Too much talking babe)
Don't care now who's to blame
I don't really wanna fight no more
(Tired of all these games)
I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really wanna fight no more
(It's time, I'm walking babe)
So let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really wanna fight no more
(This is time for letting go)

Women of a certain age
They learn to rely and judge all his responses
Having played the mating game
She doesn't waste time cause all that she wants is
Really honest emotions
Ones he can't help but show
Though I hardly know your name I know about love and I know

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna lose you
I don't even wanna say goodbye
I just wanna hold on
To this true love, true love

Women who have made mistakes
Are a little afraid, they don't like taking chances
She will play the waiting game
She's never impressed by those manly advances
I know, I've only just met you
Maybe, I should know better
But when you look at me that way
There's something inside that's so right

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna lose you
I don't even wanna say goodbye
I just wanna hold on
To this true love, true love
I don't wanna lose you
And I always wanna feel this way
Cause every time I'm with you I feel true love, true love

Tell me you're real
You're not pretending
Let's make a deal
'Coz my heart's depending on you

I'm a new pair of eyes
Every time I am born
An original mind
Because I just died
I'm scanning the horizon
For someone recognizing
That I might of been queen
For every sun that sets
There is a new one dawning
For every empire crushed
There is a brand new nation
Let the waters rise
I have ridden each tide
From the gates of the city
Where the first born died

[Chorus:]
And I might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
Oh, but the rivers won't stop for me
No, the rivers won't stop for me

I'm a new pair of eyes
An original mind
With my senses of old
And the heart of a giant
And I'm searching through the wreckage
For some great recollection
That I might have been queen
For every sage that falls
There is an ancient child

[Chorus]

I look up to the stars
With my perfect memory
I look through it all
And my future's no shock to me
I look down but I see no tragedy
I look up to my past
A spirit running free
I look down, I look down and I'm there, in history
Oh, I'm a soul survivor

This is the life you saved laid out before you
Everything that I think I have been and what I am now
Nothing can change the way I feel about you
Better we go on our separate ways
Nothing is left but the endless days
Nothing to cry but your name

[Chorus:]
Don't you look back, don't say a word
I will be lonely for you, I will be standing for you
Don't you despair I will be there for you (I will be there)

Maybe this time next year we'll be together
You can wipe away all of the tears, bring truth to the lies
There was a silent dream, we made a promise
We'd be there for each other forever
Aboard like a ship on an ocean's roar
Beating a path to your open door
Nothing will keep me away

[Chorus]

Even though the night is early there's a fire that whispers hurry
Darling please turn off the lights and lock the door
Come lay down here beside me tell me that I'm soft and pretty
And love me like you never have before
If this is our last time make it last me for a lifetime
Don't hold back the love you feel inside why should passion be ashamed
If this is our last time make it last me for a lifetime
Leave me with enough of sunshine to carry me through the rain

In the morning you'll be leaving but tonight there'll be no grieving
I'll have lots of time to cry when you're gone
Let's not waste one precious moment take all of me I'm still your woman
And love me up until the break of dawn
If this is our last time...

The sun goes down
And the moon comes up
My heart is pumping for you
And a mad thing starts

Never in your wildest dreams
Did you ever get this feeling
Never in your wildest dreams
Never in your wildest dreams
Could it ever be this easy
Never in your wildest dreams

The night is hot outside your window
I hear people walking, people talking
I smell your skin, I feel you breathing
Don't let me go, not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet

Never in your wildest dreams
Did you ever get this feeling
Never in your wildest dreams (No No)
Never in your wildest dreams
Did it ever get this easy
Never in your wildest dreams

The world is slowly turning
As it turns I see your face, touch your eyes, your lips
We've arrived at the place where they open hearts
And fill them up with love, filled with love, filled with love
This heart is pumping for you
As a mad thing starts

Never in your wildest dreams
Did you ever get this feeling
Never in your wildest dreams
Never in your wildest dreams
Did it ever feel this easy
Never in your wildest dreams
As a mad thing starts (Ooh sacrifice)
Oh baby, no baby (Ooh sacrifice)
Never in my wildest dreams (Ooh sacrifice)

When the feeling is ended
There ain't no use pretending
Don't you worry, it's only love
When your world has been shattered
Ain't nothing else matters
It ain't over, it's only love
And that's all

When your heart has been broken
Hard words have been spoken
It ain't easy, but it's only love
And if your life ain't worth living
And you're ready to give in
Just remember that it's only love
Yeah, that's all

You can live without the aggravation
You gotta wanna win, you gotta wanna win
You keep looking back in desperation
Over and over and over again

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Hey baby, won't you take a chance?
If you wanna, you can have a dance
Let's dance, let's dance
Do the twist and shout, mashed potato too
Any old dance that you wanna do
Let's dance, let's dance

Hey baby, now you're all alone
Hey baby, let me walk you home
Let's dance, let's dance
Do the twist and shout, mashed potato too
Any old dance that you wanna do
Let's dance, let's dance

Let's dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's dance
Dance to the song they're playing on the radio
Let's sway
While color lights up your face
Let's sway
Sway through the crowd to an empty space

If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Watch my love for you
It would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Let's dance
Let's dance
Let's dance, let's dance
Let's dance, let's dance

My, My, My, My
Don't you worry 'bout what's on your mind (Oh my)
I'm in no hurry I can take my time (Oh my)
I'm going red and my tongue's getting tied (tongues's getting tied)
I'm off my head and my mouth's getting dry.
I'm high, But I try, try, try (Oh my)
Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now

I feel so strong that I can't disguise (oh my)
Let's spend the night together
But I just can't apologize (oh no)
Let's spend the night together
Don't hang me up just to let me down (don't let me down)
We could have fun just groovin' around around and around
Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together

Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever

You know I'm smiling baby
You need some guiding baby
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together
Let's spend the night together now

This doesn't happen to me ev'ryday (oh my)
Let's spend the night together
No excuses offered anyway (oh my)
Let's spend the night together
I'll satisfy your every need (every need)
And I now know you will satisfy me
Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now

Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Oh baby

[Chorus:]
Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad
Happy or sad

I'm, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Oh baby

[Chorus]

Why, oh tell me, why do people break up
And turn around and make up
I just came to see
You'd never do that to me, would ya baby
Being around you is all I see
Oh baby

[Chorus]

Last night, we tried to touch but we never got close
Last night, we tried to talk, the words got caught in our throats
When we finally fell asleep
We couldn't have been farther apart

[Chorus:]
Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby, look me in the heart
And you'll see that I'm so crazy about you baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart
Look me in the heart

You try, to say, that I'm hiding from you
You act, like a spy, always looking for clues
You've read about my past
But why don't we try to make a new start

[Chorus]

Remember how good we used to be together
Remember baby, to be tender baby
Remember the love we said would last forever
I know we can make it like that again

Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
And I'm wondering why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinking about you
And it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight

[Chorus:]
I ain't missing you at all (Missing you)
Since you've been gone away (Missing you)
I ain't missing you (Missing you)
No matter what I might say (Missing you)

There's a message in the wire
And I'm sending you the signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning
Though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight

[Chorus]

And there's a message that I'm sending out
Via telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload

[Chorus]

Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath

A church house gin house
A school house outhouse
On highway number nineteen
The people keep the city clean

They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits

Twenty-five for speed limit
Motorcycle not allowed in it
You go to store on Friday

You go to church on Sunday

They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits

You go to the fields on weekdays
And have a picnic on Labor Day
You go to town on Saturday
And go to church every Sunday

They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits

No whiskey for sale
If you get drunk no bail
Salt pork and molasses
Is all you get in jail

They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits

A little old town in Tennessee
A quiet little old community
A one-horse town
You have to watch what you're putting down
In old Nutbush, oh Nutbush

There was a time when I would have followed you
To the end of the earth
I was willing to share it all with you
The love, the hurt
I've seen you when your dreams were falling in the dust
But I never stopped believing in you
I always thought our love was strong enough
One you could hold on to

[Chorus:]
You never see it coming
You just let it fly
On silent wings, silent wings
You can't hide what you you feel inside
And the fire has left your eyes
On silent wings

I see us in our dreams and we're dancing
I can almost hear the song
But the prayers, they go unanswered
But we both know, we're just hanging on
I feel ashamed, but I'll never know the reason why
The rug was pulled so gently from under my feet
I only know that something good has died
Between you and me, oh it's just a memory

[Chorus]

You never see it coming
You just go separate ways
On silent wings, silent wings
There's no more promises to break
Or our love has slipped away
On silent wings
You never see it coming
But you know it has to end
On silent wings, silent wings
I will never be the same again
I feel the whisper of the wind
On silent wings

Ask me no questions
I'll tell you no lies
Come to me when you're down
I'll give you friendly advice
I'll be your avenue, your trusting ear
Release your deepest secrets
I'll be sincere

It's an age old situation
There's nothing to fear
Whatever life throws at you
Your friend is here
Right by your side

When love leaves you cold
Lies have been told
I will be there with my open arms
Hurting inside
Please don't hide the pain
I will be there with my open arms

I know what you're saying
I been there myself
Promises withstand
They left me for someone else
Then the tables turn
A lesson I had to learn
I can't put my fingers cuz
Girls, my fingers have been burned

It's an age old situation
The message is clear
Whatever life throws at you
Your friend is here
Right by your side

Well, I guess I been a long time
Working in the back line
Trying to make a song fit
You know it never was mine
Two dollar high-heel and a honky tonk dress
In the rhythm and soul revues
I had a dream, I guess
Yes, yes

And I had to beat the stage fright
I had to cry all night
Tryin' to make a song fit
You know it never was right
I said, 'Girl, get up and get out of this mess
You're gonna be and overnight sensation
Be an overnight success'

And all through the badlands
Rockin' on the bandstands
It's so hard in the bar bands
When there's no one there who understands
And Lady Luck'll pass you by
And she'll never say, 'Yes
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
Gonna be an overnight success'

Well, I used to be a sweet little rock 'n' roll singer
Chasing after fortune and fame
What's your story? What's your payola?
Me, I'm in the music game

Well, I guess I've been a long time
Workin' in the backline
Tryin' to make a song fit
You know it never was mine
What can I tell you
I made a break I guess
Now I'm an overnight sensation
I'm an over overnight
I'm an over overnight success

You say you wanna live some
Move out into the fast lane
You say you need excitement
To make you come alive
Some place a million miles from
The shadows that surround you
I look for your attention
You're lost out in the future
Where lovers ask no questions
And shadows never fall
Some pilgrim bound for paradise
No compromise

Paradise is here
It's time to stop your crying
The future is this moment
And not some place out there
Tonight I need your love
Don't talk about tomorrow
Right now, I need your loving
Right now, give it to me
Right now, I want your loving
Right now, now now now now

You talk about your new plans
To move on up the stairway
You dream about the high life
That's waiting for you there
A world of fame and fortune
Just around the corner
But I don't need no high life
To make me feel a woman
I don't need to reach for
No castles in the sky
Just put your arms around me, devour me

Cause Paradise is here
It's time to stop your crying
The future is this moment
And not some place out there
Tonight I need your love
Don't talk about tomorrow
Right now, I need your loving
Right now, give it to me
Right now, I want your loving
Right now
Don't say tomorrow
No time for sorrow

All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names
You don't think of them as human
You don't think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall

[Chorus:]
I'm your private dancer
A dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private dancer
A dancer money
Any old music will do

I wanna make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah, I guess I want a family
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names

[Chorus 2x]

Deutschmarks or dollars
American Express will nicely...Thank You!
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me do you wanna see me do the shimmy again

[Chorus]

Y' know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But there's just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing
Nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we're gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do "Proud Mary"

And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story
I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give

When I was a little girl, I had a rag doll?
The only doll I ever owned?
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown

And it gets stronger in every way
And it get's deeper let me say
And it get's higher day by day

And do I love you?
My oh my, yeah
River deep, mountain high
Yeah yeah yeah
If I lost you
Would I cry?
Oh, I love you baby baby baby baby

When you were a young boy, did you have a puppy?
That always followed you around?
Well, I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No, I'll never never let you down

'Cause it gets stronger as the river flows
And it gets bigger baby and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby as it goes

Do I love you?
My oh my!
River deep, mountain high
Yeah yeah yeah
Do I love you?
Would I cry?
Oh, I love you baby baby baby baby

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
I love you baby like a robin likes to sing
I love you baby like a schoolboy likes his pie
Oh and I love you baby!
River deep, mountain high
Do I love you?
Would I cry?
Oh, I love you baby baby baby baby
Oh, yeah oh yeah...

Ooh, do I love you?
My oh my!
River deep, mountain high
Yeah yeah yeah
Do I love you?
Would I cry?
Oh, I love you baby baby baby baby

Rock me baby, rock me all night long
I said I want you to
Rock me baby, rock me all night long
I want you to rock me like my back ain't got no bones

Roll me daddy like you roll your flour dough
Want you to roll me daddy like you roll your flour dough
I want you to roll me till I want no more

When you see me coming go get your rockin' chair
When you see me coming go get your rockin' chair
I want you to rock me, rock me away from here
Rock me baby, rock me all night long
I said I want you to Rock me baby, rock me all night long
I want you to rock me like my back ain't got no bones

Roll me daddy like you roll your flour dough
I said I want you to roll me daddy like you roll your flour dough
I want you to roll me till I want no more

Well, I heard about the girl
You've been dancing with
All over the neighborhood
Tell me why didn't you ask me baby?
Or didn't you think I could?

Well, I know that your partner will never step aside
I've seen you do the Jerk all night
Why didn't you ask me baby?
I would have shown you how to do it right
Do it right, do it right, do it right
Do it right, do it right, do it right, do it right

Ahh...Twist it
Shake it, shake it, shake it baby
Here we go loop de loop
Shake it up baby
Here we go loop de la
Bend over and let me see you shake a tail feather
Bend over and let me see you shake a tail feather
Bend over and let me see you shake a tail feather
Bend over and let me see you shake a tail feather
Well, you bend over and let me see you shake a tail feather
Well, you bend over and let me see you shake a tail feather
All right

[Repeat]

I made a resolution
And I plan to keep my word
But I need you to make it work
You've gotta read the message
Understand what's on my mind
Cause not to see would be a crime
And we could lose it anytime

[Chorus:]
We've got to show some respect
We've got to learn to protect
Don't take it for granted I know
That if you want to stay close
We've got to show some respect

But I believe in working
Then I believe in a little help
Cause I'm not a light unto myself
Without a thing of value
Why settle for second best
We don't know what's up ahead
We can't let ourselves forget

[Chorus]

For the things that I love about you
From the woman that you see inside
Don't let it walk out the door
Love follows every time

[Chorus]

Tears will leave no stain
Time will ease the pain
For every light that fades
Something beautiful remains

We're living in a world of stars and dust
Between heaven and all that surrounds us
We're travelers here, spirits passing through
And the love we give, is all that will endure

Hey now, what we had is gone
But I still remember you
Just like a rose after the rain
Something beautiful remains

[Chorus:]
Tears will leave no stain
Time will ease the pain
For every light that fades
Something beautiful remains

Now the darkness falls, the sun's going down
One by one, the stars are coming out
Tide comes in, washes footprints from the sand
As one day ends, a new day must begin

Hey now, though we are apart
You're here forever in my dreams
Hey now, love is lost and gained
(What you gonna do about it, what you gonna say)
Something beautiful remains

[Chorus]

And you wonder sometimes how we carry on
When you've lost the love you knew
But it's alright, it's alright
To your own heart be true

[Chorus]

There's something special about you
When it comes to you there's something special
There's something special about love
I swear to God it comes from heaven up above/

You make me feel like no one else before
You make me wonder how easy it is to love
You make me wonder how easy it is to love

There's something special about a kiss
It makes me want no other lover
'cause you make me feel like this
When you're away I want no other

I never found what I was looking for
I got to wonder if no star would ever shine
I can't explain it, but somehow deep inside
I always knew that when it did I'd recognise you

There's something special about you
When it comes to you there's something special
There's something special about love
I swear to God it comes from heaven up above

Now I know what I've been doing here
Now I know what it's all about
'cause in your arms is where I wanna be
In your arms is where I always wanna be, 'cause

There's something special about you
When it comes to you there's something special
There's something special about love
I swear to God it comes from heaven up above

There's something special about you
There's something special about a kiss
There's something special about love
I swear to God it comes from heaven up above

There's something special about you
There's something special about a kiss
'cause you make me feel like this

Something special
Something special
Special

You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly

At times I understand you
And I see how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by

At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Darlin' I don't know much.
I know I love you so much.
My life depends on your touch.

And my love is a river runnin' soul deep.
Way down inside me it's a-soul deep.
It's to big to hide and it can't be denighed.
My love is a river runnin' soul de..ee..ee..ep.

I work myself to death for ya
Just to show I adore ya.
Nothing I wouldn't do for ya.

Cause my love is a river runnin' soul deep.
Way down inside me it's a-soul deep.
It's to big to hide and it can't be denighed.
My love is a river runnin' soul de..ee..ee..ep.

All I ever ever hope to be
Depends on your love for me.
Baby believe me, if you should leave me
I'd be nothing but an empty shell.
I know darn well, I can tell now.

I don't know much.
But I know I love you so much.
My life depends on your touch.

And my love is a river runnin' soul deep.
Way down inside me it's a-soul deep.
It's to big to hide and it can't be denighed.
My love is a river runnin' soul de..ee..ee..ep.

My love is a river runnin' soul deep.
Way down inside me it's a-soul deep.
My love is a river runnin' soul deep.
Way down inside me it's a-soul deep...

Sometimes its hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doing things that you don't understand

Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

But if you love him you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him
Oh be proud of him
Cause after all he's just a man

Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

I was thinking about parking the other night
We was out on a back road
Me and my baby was just getting right
Our systems going overload
The radio blasting in the front seat
Churning out the music fine
And we was snuggled up in the back seat
Making up for lost time

[Chorus:]
Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat

You can wine and dine with the men all night
With good intent
But there's something about the confrontation on the back road
Breaks down the defense

[Chorus]

Steamy windows
Ain't nobody can see
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat

There's a sound outside the front door
And I know that's just the wind
But it makes him snuggle up just a little bit closer
Starts things happening again

[Chorus]

A night in television wonderland
Just one more
Fairy tale about some rich bitch
Lying by the swimming pool
It's golden school
Living's easy when you make the rules

Last Friday was the first time
It took only about half a minute
On the stairway
It was child's play
The odds turn out even
When you give up believing in the...

[Chorus:]
Cold law, steel claw
Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door
Well I say 'No way
Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay'
I don't know who's right or who's wrong
But it doesn't really matter when you're lying in the gutter
It's a see-saw
A long hot battle with the cold law
Is what you get for messing with the steel claw

The politicians have forgotten this place
Except for a flying visit in a black Mercedes
No election time
They cross the line
And everybody runs to watch the pantomine
If they could see what's going on around here
So many people hanging on the edge
Crying out for revolution
Retribution
The odds turn out even
When you give up believing in the...

[Chorus]

Sometimes I think I'm going crazy
Sometimes I do a line
Makes me laugh
Makes me want to take a joyride
On the high tide
Sometimes I'm contemplating suicide
Meanwhile Eddy's on the West Coast
He's making out with some sweet senorita
Up in Frisco you and I know
The odds turn out even
When you give up believing...

[Chorus]
