Laura Branigan - Self Control (2002) by Laura Branigan (보컬) on maniadb.com

You can break away or you can stay
You choose your life, you're free to fly
Go on and fly
Go on and fly
She had it in her own time
To get away and try to find
Somewhere to go, to run
She saw the world through open eyes
And never let a soul inside
Don't come too close, so close
Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?
Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, you got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Her soul was strong, her heart was tough
And when she felt she had enough
She tore herself away
Love in the dark is all you see
Get what you want, not what you need
You look the other way
Never letting on to what it's all become
Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one, the lucky one
Oh, life is a dream, the lucky one
Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one
Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?
Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one

Oh the night
is my world
City light
painted girl
In the day
nothing matters
It's the night
time that flatters
In the night
no control
Through the wall
something's breaking
Wearing white
as you're walkin
Down the street
of my soul
You take my self
you take my self control
You got me livin
only for the night
Before the morning comes
the story's told
You take my self
you take my self control
Another night
another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to
forget to play my role
You take my self
you take my self control
I I live among the creatures
of the night
I haven't got the will
to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow
so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
A safe night
I'm living in the forest of my dream
I know the night
is not as it would seem
I must believe in something
so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
I I live among the creatures
of the night
I haven't got the will
to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow
so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never knows
A safe night
I'm living in the forest of a dream
I know the night
is not as it would seem
I must believe in something
so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You take my self
you take my self control
You take my self
you take my self control
You take my self
you take my self control
You take my self
you take my self control
You take my self
you take my self control
You take my self
you take my self control
You take my self
you take my self control
You take my self
you take my self control

Ti amo, God how I love you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holding on
Even though you're gone

Ti amo, wasn't I good to you?
I did all that I could do
To make you want to be here with me
I thought you loved me

I can't believe you could just turn and leave
You did it so easily
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me

How could you end it this way
After the love that we made?
God how I wished you had stayed
Can't you see that I just want you back

Ti amo, I never had a clue that I was losin' you
You never once let me know that you were lettin' me go
Oh, I guess it was there in your eyes
Guess it was there in your sighs
Guess it was there in your lies
I was blind then, couldn't face the end

Ti amo, thought we'd go on and on
Thought we had something strong
You pulled the world out from under me
Look what you've done to me

How could you end it this way
After the love that we made?
God how I wish you had stayed
Can't you see that I just want you back?

Ti amo, God how Love you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holding on
Even though you're gone

Guess it was ther in your eyes
Guess it was there in your sighs
Guess it was there in your lies
I was blind then, couldn't face the end

Ti amo, thought we'd go on and on
Thought we had something strong
You pulled the world out from under me
Look what you've done to me

How could you end this way
After the love that we made?
God how I wished you had stayed
Can't you see that I just want you back?

Ti amo, was'nt I good to you?
Did all that I could do
To make you want to be here with me
I thought you loved me

I can't believe you could just turn and leave
You did it so easily
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me

Ti amo, God how I loved you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holding on
Even though you're gone.......(fade out)

(Marie Cain/Warren Hartman)

It's the hour of the night time
When the demons come to call
And the shadows seem to whisper
And I'm wishin' I could crawl inside a dream
That would free me from the pain
But I'm smothered by the silence of a heart gone insane

Oh, heart, are you still beating?
Is there enough of you left to break?
How could he take you and tear you apart?
I never knew somebody would do it
I never knew somebody could do it
Never dreamed anybody would do this to my heart

Now the wine has worked its wonder
And it's makin' me forget
But the memories lie awaiting like an uncollected debt
That must be paid at the fadin' of the stars
By a heart that is already wearing one too many scars

Oh, heart, are you still beating?
Is there enough of you left to break?
How could he take you and tear you apart?
I never knew somebody would do it
Never knew somebody could do it
Never dreamed anybody could do this to my heart
Heart, are you still beating?
Is there enough of you left to break?
How could he take you and tear you apart?
I never knew somebody would do it
I never knew somebody could do it
Never dreamed anybody would do this to my
Heart, are you still beating?
Is there enough of you left to break?
Heart, are you still beating?
Is there enough of you left to break?
Oh, heart, are you still beating ... [fade out]

(Gerry Goffin/Carole King)

Tonight you're mine completely
You gave your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure?
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I, can I believe the magic of your sigh?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken, baby,
When the night meets the morning sun?

I'd like to know that your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell, tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me?
Will you still love me?
Will you still love me... tomorrow?

(Bernd Dietrich/Gerd Grabowski/Engelbert Simons/Marc Spiro/Diane Warren)

Don't know what you're doin'
But you're doin' somethin' I think I like
Not sure what I'm feelin'
But it feels like somethin' so right
The sound of your sigh
The touch of your skin
Is takin' me places I've never been
I wanna go there again and again

'Cause you give me
Satisfaction
When you're touchin' me
You start a chain reaction deep inside of me
Satisfaction
I just never knew that I could feel this way
Oh babe, I love you

Holdin' you close now
I keep thinkin' of times before
When nothin' was good enough
I was always left wantin' more
You took my world, turned it around
I know you won't be lettin' me down
'Cause baby, you showed me that love could be found
When you gave me

Satisfaction
When you're touchin' me
You start a chain reaction deep inside of me
Satisfaction
I just never knew that I could feel this way
Oh babe, I love you

(Diane Warren & The Doctor)

We have to take our chances we have to keep it down
We have to steal our kisses when nobody's around
We have to hide the tenderness inside
To make love on the sly
You say it's for the better
We have to speak in riddles to cloak the things we say
We have to watch our whispers not to give ourselves away
We have to run in shadows in the dark
We have to stand apart when they see us together

So we're livin' like silent partners
Sneakin' like thieves in the night
Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows
We're silent partners
Never come to the light

It'll never be right whatever we do
You need me too much and I'm just not givin' up on you
We have to keep the secret burnin' on our lips
We'd both be hurting someone if they caught us here like this
We have to bear this burden that we share
Knowin' our affair just can't go on forever

And we're livin' like silent partners
Sneakin' like thieves in the night
Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows
We're silent partners
Never come to the light

It'll never be right whatever we do
You need me too much and I'm just not givin' up on you
Silent partners
I can't let it show, we gotta keep it low, so no one knows
We're silent partners
Are we ever gonna come to the light?
It'll never be right, whatever we do
You need me too much and I'm just not givin' up
Silent partners
Sneakin' like thieves in the night
Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows
We're silent partners
Are we ever gonna come to the light?
Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows
We're silent partners
Sneakin' like thieves in the night

(Diane Warren & The Doctor)

She breathes a sigh
Watching as her life goes by
Caught in the trap of a workingday world
Tired of just being somebody's girl
She's feelin' her frustration buildin' up inside
But tonight
She's gonna give it up
Break the chains and let it out
Tonight
She'll say "I've had enough"
I'm never going back

Breaking out, into the night
Breaking out, she's taking flight
Breaking out, out in the street
Breaking out, gotta break free

He counts the days
Wishin' he could get away
Stuck in the rut of an empty routine
Nowhere to go with his hopes and his dreams
Prepare himself for the moment of his great escape
And tonight
He's gonna make his move
Take a chance and risk it all
Tonight
He's gonna cut it loose
Never looking back

Breaking out, into the night
Breaking out, he's taking flight
Breaking out, out in the street
Breaking out, gotta break free

There's gonna come a time
When you just leave it all behind
Burst out of your prison and just fly away
Tonight
They're gonna make their move
Take a chance and risk it all
Tonight
They're gonna cut it loose
Never looking back

Breaking out, into the night
Breaking out, they're taking flight
Breaking out, out in the street
Breaking out, gotta break free [fade out]

(John Parker/Steve Kipner)

I fancied you for a very long time
You finally got around to makin' your move
But when you picked me up, you looked so very...
I wish we could dispense with the preliminaries
Oh, so much for subtlety
I can't wait for you to get your hands on me

Oh, take me, take me, please
Oh, take me, take me

Don't leave me at the door with a good night kiss
It's guys like you can give a girl a complex
I've never been so in love before
I'm not playin' hard to get, that's for sure
Oh, so much formality
I can't wait for you to put your hands on me

Oh, take me, take me, please
Oh, take me, why don't you take me?
Oh, take me, come on boy
Oh, take me, take me

Oh, don't let me scare you away
It's not like me to come on strong
But love like this just can't be wrong
So I'm gonna make it easy

Oh, take me, take me...
It's the holdin' back makes me want you more
I'm not playin' hard to get
Oh, why don't you take me, boy?
Oh, oh, take me, come on, take me...
