Never again, isn't that what you said?
You've been through this before An' you swore this time you'd think with your head No one, would ever have you again And if takin' was gonna get done You'd decide where and when Just when you think you got it down Your heart securely tied and bound They whisper, Promises In The Dark Armed and ready, you fought love battles in the night But too many opponents made you weary of the fight Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone in All the warnings went off in your head Still you had to give in Just when you think you got it down Resistance nowhere to be found They whisper, Promises In The Dark But promises, you know what they're for It sounds so convincing, but you heard it before Cause talk is cheap and you gotta be sure And so you put up your guard And you try to be hard But your heart says try again You desperately search for a way to conquer the fear No line of attack has been planned to fight back the tears Where brave and restless dreams are both won and lost On the edge is where it seems it's well worth the cost Just when you think you got it down Your heart in pieces on the ground They whisper, Promises In The -- Dark |

Ooo, you're givin' me the fever tonight
I don't wanna give in I'd be playin' with fire You forget, I've seen you work before Take `em straight to the top Leave `em cryin' for more I've seen you burn `em before Chorus: Fire and Ice You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and Ice I wanna give you my love But you'll just take a little piece of my heart You'll just tear it apart Movin' in for the kill tonight You got every advantage when they put out the lights It's not so pretty when it fades away Cause it's just an illusion in this passion play I've seen you burn `em before (Chorus) So you think you got it all figured out You're an expert in the field, without a doubt But I know your methods inside and out And I won't be takin' in by Fire and Ice (Chorus) You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and Ice I wanna give you my love But you'll just take a little piece of my heart You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and Ice You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and Ice |

I don't want to argue about who is the victim
'Cause maybe we both got burned I don't want to talk about who is the traitor 'Cause both of our loyalties turned I don't want to fight about who is the liar 'Cause there's too many ways to lie I don't want to hear about who is the winner 'Cause we both know it's a tie Cut it out, drop it, count me out, baby stop it Life is too short, so why waste precious time? Life is too short, so why waste precious time? You were on a liquid diet, you were sure you had to try it And you lost all your pounds The doctor's on vacation, so you took the medication And wound up in lost and found So we took a trip to Paris 'Cause you swore that it would scare us out of our swift decline All that I remember 'bout the days in that September Is the Merci and the wine Cut it out, drop it, count me out, baby stop it Life is too short, so why waste precious time? Life is too short, so why waste Precious time, precious time, precious time, oh, precious time? Life is too short, so why waste precious time? You talk on the telephone, long distance to New York or Rome Some would say you got it made Your home is like a fortress, no one comes in but the florist The gardener and the maid You call me on the telephone, you say you feel so alone Too tired to get dressed and get out First you're happy, then you're sad Somehow you always hang up mad, excuse me if I shout Cut it out, drop it, count me out, baby stop it Life is too short, so why waste precious time? Life is too short, so why waste precious time? Life is too short, so why waste precious time Precious time, precious time, oh precious time? Life is too short, so why waste precious time? |

Isn't it a tuff life?
You race your Mercedes through the park after midnight Hopin' for a few cheap thrills There's always someone around to lift your spirits up All along just pumpin' up your attitude Don't believe a word they say Cause it's never true Isn't it a tuff life? You got a tuff life If you can't have it, then you don't want it You don't need no steady job Well, isn't it a tuff life? You got a tuff life You thought you'd move to Jamaica So you packed up your bags and headed south to get an even tan But, you didn't count on rain You were "perfect" for the script So you bought the best selling novel Knowing that you couldn't miss But you never got the part Isn't it a tuff life? You got a tuff life If you can't have it, then you don't want it You don't need no steady job Well, isn't it a tuff life? It don't get any easier And you know, sometimes it can get pretty ruff Well, isn't it a tuff life? You got a tuff life Isn't it a tuff life? You got a tuff life Isn't it a tuff life? You've got such a tuff life Isn't it a tuff life? You got a tuff life Isn't it a tuff life? You got such a tuff life |

You were the one who made me lose control
Just when I needed to be on my own You had an answer but no alibi You're feelin' sorry 'cause there's no time to lie So what, you deserve everything that you got You think I'm gonna be there but I'm not So take it anyway you want it, take it anyway you please Take it anyway you want it but I don't think you wanna bother me Don't bother runnin' through the old routine Your words are weak and they don't mean a thing You had your chances and you threw 'em away You said the 'turnaround' was in fair play So what, you deserve everything that you got You think I'm gonna be there but I'm not So take it anyway you want it, take it anyway you please Take it anyway you want it but I don't think you wanna bother me I don't wanna be the one accused You never thought you'd see the day it'd come back on you You hate to say that maybe you were wrong You want contentment but you can't be that strong You see the shadow on the window blind But that shadow will never be mine So what, you deserve everything that you got You think I'm gonna be there but I'm not So take it anyway you want it, take it anyway you please Take it anyway you want it but I don't think you wanna bother me Take it anyway you want it, take it anyway you please Take it anyway you want it, but I don't think you wanna bother me |

They were so ecstatic when the letter arrived
A certified genius at the age of five They planned his future so carefully He was everything they'd hoped he'd be He was a model child, a devoted son Loved and admired by everyone He played out every role, a "T.V. Hero" He lived his life in a video fantasy He was good at school, never failed a grade They gave him hopes and dreams and taught him not to hate He had rules he learned to break for fun Now he's hidin', 'cause there's fingerprints on the gun Why'd ya have to do it, Evil Genius? Was it justified in your mind? Why'd ya put us through it, Evil Genius? Was it justified in your mind, any time you held a grudge? Was it something said that pushed you over the line? Your best interests were in our minds You kept it so well hidden, we never knew No one ever expected anything like this from you Why'd ya have to do it, Evil Genius? Was it justified in your mind? Why'd ya put us through it, Evil Genius? Was it justified in your mind, any time you held a grudge? Why'd ya have to do it, Evil Genius? Was it justified in your mind? Why'd ya put us through it, Evil Genius? Was it justified in your mind, any time you held a grudge? Why'd ya have to do it, Evil Genius? Was it justified in your mind? Why'd ya put us through it, Evil Genius? Was it justified in your mind, any time you held a grudge? |

Yesterday's a by-line
Words upon a page Tomorrow is a deadline Sudden and it's strange Hard to believe You ever would leave, but you did Hard to believe You ever would leave Nowhere to go, can't sit still Look for a motive in the time that I kill Thinking of ways to fill up my empty days To fill up my empty days Hard to believe You'd leave when I need you I need you so, it's hard to believe Hard to believe You'd leave when I need you I need you so, it's hard to believe Love is such a fine line The finest line I've known But sorrow is no lifeline When you're all alone Hard to believe You ever would leave, but you did Hard to believe You ever would leave Can't sleep a wink, up all night Truth hurts, you know it cuts like a knife Thinking of ways to fill up my empty life To fill up my empty life Hard to believe You'd leave when I need you I need you so, it's hard to believe Hard to believe You'd leave when I need you I need you so, it's hard to believe Hard to believe You'd leave when I need you I need you so, it's hard to believe Hard to believe You'd leave when I need you I need you so, it's hard to believe |
