Gloria Gaynor

At first I was afraid,
I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back,
from outta space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be
back to bother me

Go now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I'd crumble?
Think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not! I'll survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I wil survive. Hey, hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feelin' sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you feel like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my love for someone who's lovin' me

At first I was afraid,
I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back,
from outta space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be
back to bother me

Go now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I'd crumble?
Think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not! I'll survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I wil survive. Hey, hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights

I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow

Frosty the snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe
And a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the snowman
Is a fairy tale, they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day

There must have been some magic in
That old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around

Oh, Frosty the snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say
He could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow

Frosty the snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said, "Let's run
And we?ll have some fun now
Before I melt away?

Down to the village
With a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there
All around the square
Saying, "Catch me if you can"

He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler, "Stop"

Oh, Frosty the snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye
Saying, "Don't you cry
I'll be back again some day"

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King
Let every heart, prepare him room
And Heaven, let Heaven
Heaven and nature
Heaven and nature sing

Everybody sing
Joy to the world, the Lord is come

Let every heart, prepare him room
Let Heaven and nature sing
Let Heaven and nature sing

Go tell of his glory
Go shout the new story

Rocks hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some
Mistletoe help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And ev'ry mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin` I could never live without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin` how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you`re back, from outta space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you`d be back to bother me

Go now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
Cause you`re not welcome anymore
Weren`t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I`d crumble?
Think I`d lay down and die?
Oh no, not! I`ll survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I`ll be alive
I`ve got all my life to live
I`ve got all my love to give and I`ll survive
I wil survive. Hey, hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept tryin` hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feelin` sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I`m not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you feel like droppin` in
And just expect me to be free
Now I`m savin` all my love for someone who`s lovin` me

I Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.
Everytime I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right to the core
It says turn around you fool
You know you love him more and more
Tell me why (tell me why) is it so
(That I) don't wanna let you go
Aah hey !
I never can say goodbye Boy ooh baby...
no no no hey
I never can say goodbye
I never can say goodbye...no,no,no
I keep thinkin' that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that strange unhappy feeling
There's that anguish, there's that doubt
It's that same old dizzy hang up
I can't do with or without
Tell me why (tell me why) is it so
I don't wanna let you go
Aah I never can say goodbye...
Oohoohooh babe!
I never can say goodbye
I never can say goodbye Oohoohooh babe!
I never can say goodbye

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along

And so you're back, from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

Go on now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did I crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no not I, I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give, and I'll survive
I will survive. Hey hey.

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself, I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

* Go on now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did I crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no not I, I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give, and I'll survive
I will survive. Oh.

(Repeat *)

I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, I
I never can say goodbye

Every time I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right to the core
It says, "turn around you fool
You know you love him more and more"
Tell me why is it so
Don't want to let you go

Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, hey

I never can say goodbye, oh no, I
I never can say goodbye

I keep thinking that our problems

And so you feel like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my love for someone who's lovin' me

I feel so unsure,
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor.
As the music dies
Something in your eyes,
Calls to mind a silver screen,
And all its sad goodbyes.

[Chorus]
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have done my rhythm.
Though it's easy to pretend,
I know you're not a fool.
I should have known better then to cheat a friend,
And waste a chance that I'd been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again.
The way I danced with you.

Time can never mend
The careless whisper of a good friend.
To the heart and mind
If your answer's kind
There's no comfort in the truth,
Pain is all you find.

[Chorus]

What am I without your love?

Tonight the music seems so loud,
I wish that we could lose this crowd.
Maybe it's better this way
We've hurt each other with the things we want to say.
We could have been so good together
We could have lived forever
But no, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay.

[Chorus]

Now that you're gone
Was what I did so wrong?
So wrong that you had to leave me alone?

Ah ahhh party party
Ah ahhh party party
Ah ahhh party party
Ah ahhh party party

Love, sweet love won't you be good to me?
You could set me free
Come on, set me free
We could dance 'neath the pale moonlight
Feeling good tonight
Feeling good tonight

Please somebody's got to get me to the action
Some satisfaction is what I've been searching for
Got to find myself a happy situation
Some celebration
Somebody who calls for more

Anybody wanna party down tonight?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party down tonight?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party?

Hey hey
Get down

It'd be nice to realize a little romance
I could dig some slow dance
I could dig some girl-meets-boy
Can't put too much time in searching for some reason
Must be the season
For doin' that jump for joy

Anybody wanna party down tonight?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party down tonight?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party?

Love sweet love won't you be good to me?
You could set me free
Come on, set me free
We could dance 'neath the pale moonlight
Feeling good tonight
Feeling good tonight

I'm a person with a passion for some livin'
Can't help givin' my body a real good time
I'm a sucker for the music and the laughter
I know right after
That lovin' is soon sublime

Anybody wanna party down tonight?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party down tonight?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party?

Hey hey
Get down (Anybody)
Get down get down (wanna party)
Get down get down
Get down (Anybody wanna party)
Get down get down
Get down get down
Get down

Anybody wanna party down tonight? (Anybody)
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party down tonight?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party?

Ah ahhh party party
Ah ahhh party party

Let me tell you 'bout that jive type
that jive type
Casanova Brown

I met him at a party
He said the sweetest things when he hit on me
Wrapped up in his arms
I was blinded by his charm and I couldn't see

Like the story of little red riding hood
The big bad wolf was up to
Up to no good, woo, no

That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown
He hit on me and he'll hit on you
That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown

I was lonely and naive
I guess that's why I believed every word he says
It felt so good to hear
Every time he said he cared it went straight to my head

He loved me and left me
But I can't deny
His love was so doggone good
I still, I still love that guy, ooh, [oh no] hey

That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown
He hit on me and he'll hit on you, watch out
That jive type,that jive type, ooh
Casanova Brown
Let me tell you 'bout that jive type
that jive type
Casanova Brown
That jive type,that jive type,
Casanova Brown

I was sittin' there mindin' my business
Feelin' good, checkin' things out
Sippin' on little wine [jive type, that jive type]
Then I spotted
Super cool dude cross the room diggin' on me
I tried to pretend like I didn't even see him
But he was so fine
He took my hand and started to dancin'
I know he felt me fallin' for him
'Cause he kept holdin' me tighter and tighter, ooh
Sure was nice
Girl, my head was all turned around, oh
I didn't know what I was gettin' into, ooh, ow

Up to no good, oh no

That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown
That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown

Like the story of little red riding hood
The big bad wolf was up to
Up to no good, woo, oh

That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown
That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown
That jive type,that jive type
Casanova Brown

Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Oh, somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you

Somewhere there's music
It's where you are
Oh, somewhere there's heaven
How near, how far
The brightest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will
Ooh, how still
My aching heart
How high the moon

(Somewhere there's music)
(It's where you are)
(Somewhere there's heaven)
(How near, how far)
The brightest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will
Ooh, how still
My aching heart
How high the moon

Somewhere there's music, music in the air
Oh, and I love this heaven, heaven when you're near
Oh, when you're near
I wanna hear the music
I know it's where you are
Please let me hear it

I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation
It's my world
That I want to have a little pride in
My world
And it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn
Till you can say
I am what I am

I am what I am
I don't want praise, I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham
Till you can shout out
I am what I am

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out
I am what I am

(This stanza ist not in the 3:52 Version)
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out
I am what I am

I am, I am, I am useful
I am, I am, I am true
I am, I am somebody
I am as good as you, ah ha
Ah ha
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, yes I am
Ah ah ah ah, ah I am
Doo doo doo doo... I am
I am, I am

At first I was afraid,
I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back,
from outta space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be
back to bother me

Go now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I'd crumble?
Think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not! I'll survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I wil survive. Hey, hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feelin' sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you feel like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my love for someone who's lovin' me

I get a little peck and you're after to bed
No warmth, no hug, no kind words are said
Will you dream of me or someone new instead, oh
Just love me and mean it, I'll follow you blind
Lately I feel like a heart left behind
I just can't stand still till you make up your mind

Let me know, let me know, I have a right
Before you touch me one more night
Have I won your love or have I lost the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

I'll take it, I'll make it
Ooh, yes, I will
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Listen, listen

I'm livin' each minute with all that I've got
Each breath is in pardon, each heartbeat is hot
That's the way we were way back, you forgot [he forgot, he forgot], ooh
You leave me so empty, it's makin' me sad
To know that our good thing has turned for the bad
Both of us are here, but where's the love we had

Let me know, let me know, I have a right
Before you touch me one more night
Have I won your love or have I lost the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

Let me know, let me know
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

I'll take it
Heaven knows I'll make it

I get a little peck and you're after to bed
No warmth, no hug, and no kind words are said
Will you dream of me or someone new instead, listen
Just love me and mean it, I'll follow you blind
Lately I feel like a heart left behind
I just can't stand still till you make up your mind, listen

I get a little peck and you're after to bed
No warmth, no hug, no kind words are said
Will you dream of me or someone new instead, oh
Just love me and mean it, I'll follow you blind
But lately I feel like a heart left behind
I just can't stand still till you make up your mind

Let me know, let me know, I have a right
Before you touch me one more night
Have I won your love or have I lost the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

I'll take it, I'll make it
You know I will, you know I will

I'm livin' each minute with all that I've got
Each breath is in pardon, each heartbeat is hot
That's the way we were way back, you forgot [he forgot, he forgot], ooh
You leave me so empty, it's makin' me sad
To know that our good thing has turned for the bad
Both of us are here, but where's the love we had

Let me know, let me know, I have a right
Before you touch me one more night
Have I won your love or have I lost the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

I'll take it, I'll make it
You know I will, you know I will
Oh, yes, I will

Let me know, let me know, I have a right
Before you touch me one more night
Have I won your love, ooh, have I lost the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

Let me know, I've got to know, I have a right
Before you touch me and, oh, touch me right
Have I won your love, I don't wanna lose the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face and don't try to be polite, hoo

Let me know, let me know
Let me know, let me know, I've got a right
I got to plan my future, my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, I
I never can say goodbye

Every time I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right to the core
It says, "turn around you fool
You know you love him more and more"
Tell me why is it so
Don't want to let you go

Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, hey

I never can say goodbye, oh no, I
I never can say goodbye

I keep thinking that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling
And that anguish and that doubt
It's that same old dizzy hang-up
I can't do with you or without
Tell me why is it so
I don't want to let you go

Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, ooh
Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, no, no

Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
No, no, no, baby, hey, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no
Please don't let me say goodbye
I just cannot say goodbye

Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all your hope is gone
And your life is filled with confusion
And happiness is just an illusion
And your world around is tumblin' down
Darling, reach out
Reach out, for me.

I'll be there to love and confort you...(tell me baby)
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through

Now when you're lost and about to give up
'cause your best just ain't good enough
and you feel the world has grown cold
and you're driftin' on your own
when you need a hand to hold
darling, reach out
reach out, for me.

I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through

I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there to with the love I'll see you through

I can tell you the way I hang your head
Now with out of love , now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found

I know what you're thinking
Witout love, now you're alone
Baby, reach out
Reach out for me

I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there with the Love I'll see you through

I'll be there to love and confort you
Tell me baby
I'll be there to always see you through
I'll be there

I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through

This Love Affair
Gloria Gaynor
(Gloria Gaynor / Connie Johnson, Jr. / Al Stewart)



(Check it out, check it out, this love affair)
(Check it out, check it out, this love affair)

One - it's on the money, two - it's in full stride
Three - we've got each other, so there's no need to hide
Honey, this love affair has gotten to where I want it
This love affair, I'm so proud to own it
Oh this love affair is in the right direction
This love affair is under love's protection
Four - we're getting over, five - we've got it made
Six, let's pray forever, this love will never fade
‘Cause it's a miracle there ain't no doubt about it
This love affair, I've got to talk about it
Oh this love affair is in the right direction
This love affair is under love's protection
For the first time in my life I can see clear the skies
So let's soar them like two eagles and fly so high
Seven - bound for heaven, eight - we're at the gate
Nine - we've got their blessings, ten - we're perfect mates
Honey, this love affair has gotten me where I want it
This love affair, I'm so proud to own it
Yeah yeah

Yeah yeah.....

This love affair, Oh oh
Seven - bound for heaven, oh well eight - we're at the gate
Nine - we've got their blessings, ten - we're perfect mates
Honey this love affair is in the right direction
This love affair is under love's protection
Woah this love affair > fade is in the right direction
This love affair.......

You always said my eyes
Were the windows of my soul
You could always fill my love
And pain without been told
I never knew how, but I don't
Even dare to look at you now.

So, if you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we leave
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, ooh baby,
Walk on by, ooh darling
Please, Walk on by,
I don't wanna you to see me cry
Walk on by, please, please
Baby, baby don't stop...

So, if you ever love
Look the other way
There is anything left to say
Anyway...

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 goobye, ooh baby
Walk on by, ooh sugar
Walk on by...(baby, baby don't stop)

Baby, baby don't stop

Walk on by...ub..eh
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..uuh baby
Walk on by...uuh sugar
Walk on by... walk on by

I don't want to see me cry
Walk on by, walk on by...
All the tears that I have cry...
I don't have nothing left to say...
Please take your head... look the other way...
Wow...wow...wow...walk on by...
Walk on by....

Now you say it's the end
Oh, but I think we can start over again
Just to think of the time
We were mellowed by spices of love

Let's not pretend
This can be the end of this love affair
We have all of the time in the world to live it again

Baby, we can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again and again

As our hearts join one more time
Misunderstanding we could live behind
Don't you think it ain't true
I'm gonna keep on loving you

Let's not pretend
This can be the end of this love affair
We have all of the time in the world to live it again

Baby, we can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again and again

Baby, we can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again and again

With you out of my life I can't sleep at night
I climb the highest mountains, swim the deepest sea
To get to that love that belongS to me

As our hearts join one more time
Misunderstanding we could live behind
Don't you think it ain't true
I'm gonna keep on loving you

Baby we can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again and again and again and again, baby

Now you say it's the end
Oh, but I think we can start over again
Just to think of the time
We were mellowed by spices of love

Let's not pretend
This can be the end of this love affair
We have all the time in the world to live it again

Baby, we can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again
We can start over again and again

You said you'd never love another
Sweet words, empty promises
You swore you'd always be my lover
Look close, look into my eyes
You will realize...
My heart just ain't for hire
Times change, a new day dawned
I ain't got time for your whim and desire
Look close, look into my eyes
You will realize (Oh oh oh oh)

Chorus:
You want my love but there's nothing on
I wanna give but the feeling's gone
We used to be right, baby don't take it wrong
But you've been gone, gone, gone
Gone too long

While you were away, things got turned around
I found somebody who won't bring me down
No never again
No, look into my eyes you will realize (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

(Chorus)

(While you were away) Oh, I learned to smile again
(While you were away) Oh, I learned to laugh again
(While you were away) Oh, baby everything's changed
For better, I got it together

(Can't change the way that I feel
This time my heart says it's real)

(Chorus 2x)

Let me hear a little backingtrack

I'm giving it up
I'm giving it up

I know you're wondering where I've been
Sweet songs of love got me comig in
Wanted to leave yeah, just walk away
But this is real and I'm here to stay
So afraid of being sad and blue
Talked to myself and said I'm over you
But now it's time for me to make you see
These chains of love got a hold on me

Chorus:
I never felt this way before
Can't get enough, want more and more
Love will keep together
Got to be forever
Got to be forever

Never knew love would make me feel this way
You make me happy and I'm gonna stay
Whenever life was getting out of hand
I turned to you and you would understand
You lift me up when I'm feeling down
I got my feet back on solid ground
You make me smile when I wanna cry
I'm gonna love you 'til the day I die

(Chorus)

I'm giving it up
I'm giving it up
And I'm here to stay

(Chorus repeat till fade)

Song Title: I never Knew
Artist&nbsp;: Gloria Gaynor

It's really been a long time
Since I let somebody hold me
Since I felt safe in somebody's arms, emm emm
You were a good friend I could confide in
But after all the lies he told me
I couldn't let nobody in my heart
I was torn apart
All this time you've been right here
He's been doing nothing but wrong
And though the best thing in my life was
Here with me all along

Chorus:
I never knew
Right beside me there was an angel
I never knew
You'd give my heart the wings to fly
Because of you
Everything in my life is changing
Turning it to
The kind of heaven that I never Knew

He kissed away my tears
And now they've disappeared
You made me feel safe in somebody's arms
You're the kind that can do me no harm
Can't let up
Can't tell anybody that you're not from around here
They don't know that you're an angel
But now it's all so clear

Chorus
I never knew
Right beside me there was an angel
I never knew
You'd give my heart the wings to fly
Because of you
Everything in my life is changing
Turning it to
The kind of heaven that I never Knew

Is this a dream
Are you for real
You got me honey
Feeling things that I never thought I'd feel
You taught me love
Don't have to break my heart in two
That's just one more of those things
That I never, never knew
I never knew
Right beside me
There was an angel
I never, never knew (that my heart could fly)
It's all because of you baby
My life is changing
Turning it to
The kind of heaven that I never knew

Song Title: I never Knew
Artist&nbsp;: Gloria Gaynor

It's really been a long time
Since I let somebody hold me
Since I felt safe in somebody's arms, emm emm

I was torn apart
All this time you've been right here

There was an angel
I never, never knew (that my heart could fly)
It's all because of you baby
My life is changing
Turning it to
The kind of heaven that I never knew

Alll......the time
Tell me why, just keep thinking about you baby

Tell me if you can
Why I keep thinking about you baby
Ain't at all like I just wanna
I just keep thinking about you baby
Lord knows I got things to do
But they are all neglected
Pushed aside by you
There is just no time
And my head gets crowded
Ohh yeah, you're always on my mind

Chorus:
Just keep thinking about you baby (day and night)
Tell me I (Just keep thinking about you baby)

There is no way
I'll stop thinking about you baby
You go with me day to day
I can't stop thinking about my baby
Just a simple story
About a lonely lady
Finding herself in love
And that is amazing
I won't be complaining
That means I would not change a thing 'cause

(Chorus 3x)

A happy ending to my story
And all because of you
You tell me that you loved me
And I believe you doo
I'm gonna be so patient
Baby just take your time
Our love keeps growing stronger
And stronger all the time

(Chorus 4x)

Here we are, alone again
In your arms again, and keeps on getting better
Well I don't need to read your mind
'Cause baby in your eyes, I can almost see forever

But before you go too far, before I fall too fast
Baby you should know, I need love that's gonna last
You gotta promise to be here
Through the laughter and the tears
Let me know that you're mine
Everyday, every night... 'cause

Chorus:
There's just no other way to love me
Take my heart, take my soul
Baby never let me go
No, there's just no other way to love me
That's the way it should be
If you gonna fall in love with me
'Cause there's just no other way to love me

Let me show you how much I care
And baby I swear, I'll be right there when you need me
But I gotta know that you'll always be true (always be true)
That you're gonna see this through
And give your heart completely

I wanna feel it when we kiss, believe when we touch
Babydon't just say you love me, 'cause words are not enough
I wanna see it in your eyes, believe it deep inside
I gotta know you'll be here
Everyday, every night ('cause)

(Chorus)

I will never ask for more than I'll give to you
(Gonna give me everything)
I wanna give him my everything
But I gotta know that my heart is true
Every day (every day)
Every night (every night)
For the rest of my life... 'cause
Commitment baby that's what I need
A heart that belongs only to me

I wanna feel it when we kiss, believe when we touch
Babydon't just say you love me, 'cause words are not enough
I wanna see it in your eyes, believe it deep inside
I gotta know you'll be here
Everyday, every night ('cause)

'Cause there's just no other way to love me
Just no other way to love me

(Chorus repeat till fade)

No One Can Love You More
by Gloria Gaynor
album:
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love (give you all my love)
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love

I used to be on my own
Every night, every day by myself
Feeling so far from home
How would I know I would go
Down the road that would lead me right into your arms
Destiny told me that you were the one
Stars fill the sky now I've finally found you

Chorus:
No one can love you more
No one can give it all
I'm gonna give you all my loving
No one can love you more
I'll give you my heart and soul
Feel it deep down inside

Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love (give you all my love)
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love

I thought I was wasting time
Living in hope that I'd find a new love
Love can be so unkind
How could it be you and me took so long
To discover that dreams do come true
Everything's changed since the day I met you
The sun's gonna shine every time we're together

(Chorus 2x)

Yesterday has gone
And from this moment on you will see
This will be a forever lasting love

Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love

(Chorus 2x)

Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love
Give you love 2x
I'm gonna give you all my love, all my love

No one can love you more 3x

Used to hear me say
Baby, I need you, I'm lonely and deprived
And without your love I can't get through the day
When you're gone my world just slowly fades away
And I

Gave you my lovin' every time you asked
Gave my heart, held nothing back
Now I see that you couldn't handle that
Oh, how things have changed

Maybe it was that I was insecure
That won't happen anymore
That was before
No, I'm not, no, I'm not the same

I've feel stronger than you know
Strong and now I can do without you
The pity that you show

So don't mistake me for a fool
Made a mistake
My only problem was loving you
I'm stronger now

Used to cry and cry
Sit around and wait for you to dry my eyes
And I know you're thinking here we go again
Your broken heart that I have to mend

Gave you my lovin' every time you asked
Gave my heart held nothing back
Now I see that you couldn't handle that
Oh, how things have changed

Maybe it was that I was insecure
That won't happen anymore
That was before
No, I'm not, no, I'm not the same

I've feel stronger than you know
Strong and now I can do without you
The pity that you show

So don't mistake me for a fool
Made a mistake
My problem was loving you
I'm stronger now

Oh, you know I used to love you
But oh, my friend, I can live without you
Don't need your sympathy
I'm letting you go free

It used to be so predictable
So innocent and so simple
I can tell that you're surprised
I'm someone you don't recognize

I've feel stronger than you know
Strong and now I can do without you
The pity that you show

So don't mistake me for a fool
Made a mistake
My problem was loving you

I've feel stronger than you know
Strong and now I can do without you
The pity that you show

But don't mistake me for a fool
Made a mistake
My problem was loving you
I'm stronger now

Ah ahhh party party
Ah ahhh party party
Ah ahhh party party
Ah ahhh party party

Love, sweet love won't you be good to me?
You could set me free
Come on, set me free
We could dance 'neath the pale moonlight
Feeling good tonight
Feeling good tonight

Please somebody's got to get me to the action
Some satisfaction is what I've been searching for
Got to find myself a happy situation
Some celebration
Somebody who calls for more

Anybody wanna party down tonight?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party down tonight?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party?

Hey hey
Get down

It'd be nice to realize a little romance
I could dig some slow dance
I could dig some girl-meets-boy
Can't put too much time in searching for some reason
Must be the season
For doin' that jump for joy

Anybody wanna party down tonight?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party down tonight?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party?

Love sweet love won't you be good to me?
You could set me free
Come on, set me free
We could dance 'neath the pale moonlight
Feeling good tonight
Feeling good tonight

I'm a person with a passion for some livin'
Can't help givin' my body a real good time
I'm a sucker for the music and the laughter
I know right after
That lovin' is soon sublime

Anybody wanna party down tonight?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party down tonight?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party?

Hey hey
Get down (Anybody)
Get down get down (wanna party)
Get down get down
Get down (Anybody wanna party)
Get down get down
Get down get down
Get down

Anybody wanna party down tonight? (Anybody)
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party down tonight?
Anybody wanna party?
Anybody wanna party?

Ah ahhh party party
Ah ahhh party party

<i>Lyrics &copy; Universal Music Publishing Group</i>

Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Oh, somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you

Somewhere there's music
It's where you are
Oh, somewhere there's heaven
How near, how far
The brightest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will
Ooh, how still
My aching heart
How high the moon

(Somewhere there's music)
(It's where you are)
(Somewhere there's heaven)
(How near, how far)
The brightest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will
Ooh, how still
My aching heart
How high the moon

Somewhere there's music, music in the air
Oh, and I love this heaven, heaven when you're near
Oh, when you're near
I wanna hear the music
I know it's where you are
Please let me hear it

At first I was afraid,
I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back,
from outta space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be
back to bother me

Go now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I'd crumble?
Think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not! I'll survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I wil survive. Hey, hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feelin' sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you feel like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my love for someone who's lovin' me

I get a little peck and you're after to bed
No warmth, no hug, no kind words are said
Will you dream of me or someone new instead, oh
Just love me and mean it, I'll follow you blind
Lately I feel like a heart left behind
I just can't stand still till you make up your mind

Let me know, let me know, I have a right
Before you touch me one more night
Have I won your love or have I lost the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

I'll take it, I'll make it
Ooh, yes, I will
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Listen, listen

I'm livin' each minute with all that I've got
Each breath is in pardon, each heartbeat is hot
That's the way we were way back, you forgot [he forgot, he forgot], ooh
You leave me so empty, it's makin' me sad
To know that our good thing has turned for the bad
Both of us are here, but where's the love we had

Let me know, let me know, I have a right
Before you touch me one more night
Have I won your love or have I lost the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

Let me know, let me know
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

I'll take it
Heaven knows I'll make it

I get a little peck and you're after to bed
No warmth, no hug, and no kind words are said
Will you dream of me or someone new instead, listen
Just love me and mean it, I'll follow you blind
Lately I feel like a heart left behind
I just can't stand still till you make up your mind, listen

I get a little peck and you're after to bed
No warmth, no hug, no kind words are said
Will you dream of me or someone new instead, oh
Just love me and mean it, I'll follow you blind
But lately I feel like a heart left behind
I just can't stand still till you make up your mind

Let me know, let me know, I have a right
Before you touch me one more night
Have I won your love or have I lost the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

I'll take it, I'll make it
You know I will, you know I will

I'm livin' each minute with all that I've got
Each breath is in pardon, each heartbeat is hot
That's the way we were way back, you forgot [he forgot, he forgot], ooh
You leave me so empty, it's makin' me sad
To know that our good thing has turned for the bad
Both of us are here, but where's the love we had

Let me know, let me know, I have a right
Before you touch me one more night
Have I won your love or have I lost the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

I'll take it, I'll make it
You know I will, you know I will
Oh, yes, I will

Let me know, let me know, I have a right
Before you touch me one more night
Have I won your love, ooh, have I lost the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

Let me know, I've got to know, I have a right
Before you touch me and, oh, touch me right
Have I won your love, I don't wanna lose the fight
Let me know, let me know, I have a right
To plan my future, get on with my life
Tell me face to face and don't try to be polite, hoo

Let me know, let me know
Let me know, let me know, I've got a right
I got to plan my future, my life
Tell me face to face, don't try to be polite

I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, I
I never can say goodbye

Every time I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right to the core
It says, "turn around you fool
You know you love him more and more"
Tell me why is it so
Don't want to let you go

Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, hey

I never can say goodbye, oh no, I
I never can say goodbye

I keep thinking that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling
And that anguish and that doubt
It's that same old dizzy hang-up
I can't do with you or without
Tell me why is it so
I don't want to let you go

Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, ooh
Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, no, no

Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
No, no, no, baby, hey, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no
Please don't let me say goodbye
I just cannot say goodbye

Tonight, tonight,
Won't be just any night,
Tonight there will be no morning star.
Tonight, tonight,
I'll see my love tonight!
And for us, stars will stop where they are.

Today The minutes seem like hours,
The hours go so slowly,
And still the sky is light.
Oh moon, grow bright,
And make this endless day endless night!
Tonight... no morning star.

Tonight...Tonight

Today The minutes seem like hours,
The hours go so slowly,
And still the sky is light.
Oh moon, grow bright,
And make this endless day endless night!
Tonight... tonight...tonight

Tonight will be no morning star
Tonight... tonigh
I'll see my love tonight
And for us, stars will stop right where they are.

Today The minutes seem like hours,
The hours go so slowly,
And still the sky is light.
Oh moon, grow bright,
And make this endless day endless night!
Tonight...
Tonight...
Tonight...
Tonight...

You always said my eyes
Were the windows of my soul
You could always fill my love
And pain without been told
I never knew how, but I don't
Even dare to look at you now.

So, if you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we leave
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, ooh baby,
Walk on by, ooh darling
Please, Walk on by,
I don't wanna you to see me cry
Walk on by, please, please
Baby, baby don't stop...

So, if you ever love
Look the other way
There is anything left to say
Anyway...

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 goobye, ooh baby
Walk on by, ooh sugar
Walk on by...(baby, baby don't stop)

Baby, baby don't stop

Walk on by...ub..eh
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..uuh baby
Walk on by...uuh sugar
Walk on by... walk on by

I don't want to see me cry
Walk on by, walk on by...
All the tears that I have cry...
I don't have nothing left to say...
Please take your head... look the other way...
Wow...wow...wow...walk on by...
Walk on by....

Somewhere there's music
how faint the tune!
Somewhere there's heaven
how high the moon!
rhere is no moon above when love is far away
too

Till it comes true that you love me as I love you.

Somewhere there's music
it's where you are

Somewhere there's heaven
how near
how far!
The brightest night would shine if you would come to me soon

Until you will
how still my aching heart
How high the moon.

Somewhere there's music
it's where you are
. . .

Somewhere there's music
music in the air
Oh
I love this heaven when you're near
I wanna hear the music
I wanna be where you are.

Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Oh, somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you

Somewhere there's music
It's where you are
Oh, somewhere there's heaven
How near, how far
The brightest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will
Ooh, how still
My aching heart
How high the moon

(Somewhere there's music)
(It's where you are)
(Somewhere there's heaven)
(How near, how far)
The brightest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will
Ooh, how still
My aching heart
How high the moon

Somewhere there's music, music in the air
Oh, and I love this heaven, heaven when you're near
Oh, when you're near
I wanna hear the music
I know it's where you are
Please let me hear it

I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation
It's my world
That I want to have a little pride in
My world
And it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn
Till you can say
I am what I am

I am what I am
I don't want praise, I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham
Till you can shout out
I am what I am

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out
I am what I am

(This stanza ist not in the 3:52 Version)
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out
I am what I am

I am, I am, I am useful
I am, I am, I am true
I am, I am somebody
I am as good as you, ah ha
Ah ha
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, yes I am
Ah ah ah ah, ah I am
Doo doo doo doo... I am
I am, I am

At first I was afraid,
I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back,
from outta space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be
back to bother me

Go now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I'd crumble?
Think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not! I'll survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I wil survive. Hey, hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feelin' sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you feel like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my love for someone who's lovin' me

I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, I
I never can say goodbye

Every time I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right to the core
It says, "turn around you fool
You know you love him more and more"
Tell me why is it so
Don't want to let you go

Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, hey

I never can say goodbye, oh no, I
I never can say goodbye

I keep thinking that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling
And that anguish and that doubt
It's that same old dizzy hang-up
I can't do with you or without
Tell me why is it so
I don't want to let you go

Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, ooh
Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh baby, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, no, no

Hey, I never can say goodbye, boy
No, no, no, baby, hey, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no
Please don't let me say goodbye
I just cannot say goodbye

Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all your hope is gone
And your life is filled with confusion
And happiness is just an illusion
And your world around is tumblin' down
Darling, reach out
Reach out, for me.

I'll be there to love and confort you...(tell me baby)
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through

Now when you're lost and about to give up
'cause your best just ain't good enough
and you feel the world has grown cold
and you're driftin' on your own
when you need a hand to hold
darling, reach out
reach out, for me.

I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through

I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there to with the love I'll see you through

I can tell you the way I hang your head
Now with out of love , now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found

I know what you're thinking
Witout love, now you're alone
Baby, reach out
Reach out for me

I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there with the Love I'll see you through

I'll be there to love and confort you
Tell me baby
I'll be there to always see you through
I'll be there

I'll be there to love and confort you
I'll be there with the love I'll see you through

Oh I, I will survive
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
'cause I've got all
All my life to live
And I've got so much love to give
I'll survive, I'll survive
I will, I will survive
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

I was afraid
I was petrified
Thinking I could never live without you by my side
And I spent so many nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
But I grew strong
I learned how to get along
So you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face.
I should've changed all the locks
I should've made you leave your key
If I'da known for one second you'd be back to bother me

Chorus: Oh now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one that tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did ya think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die

Oh no not I
I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
'cause I got all my life to live
And I got all my love to give
And I'll survive

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

Took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart
Trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent so many nights feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high

And you see me somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
That's still in love with you

And so you felt like dropping in
Thinking that I'd be free
But now I'm saving all my loving
For someone who's loving me

[Repeat Chorus]

If you wanna know
Do I need you
No no no no no no no no no no no

Baby, don't understand
Why we can't just hold on to each other's hands?
This time might be the last if fear unless
I make it all too clear I need you so, ohh

Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Take these broken wings

Baby, I think tonight
We can take what was wrong and make it right
Baby, it's all I know that you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole, I need you so.

So take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Yeah, yeah

Let us in
Let us in

Baby, it's all I know that you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

So take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in

Take these broken wings
You got to learn to fly, learn to live and love so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up for us and let us in
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh

I feel so unsure,
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor.
As the music dies
Something in your eyes,
Calls to mind a silver screen,
And all its sad goodbyes.

[Chorus]
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have done my rhythm.
Though it's easy to pretend,
I know you're not a fool.
I should have known better then to cheat a friend,
And waste a chance that I'd been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again.
The way I danced with you.

Time can never mend
The careless whisper of a good friend.
To the heart and mind
If your answer's kind
There's no comfort in the truth,
Pain is all you find.

[Chorus]

What am I without your love?

Tonight the music seems so loud,
I wish that we could lose this crowd.
Maybe it's better this way
We've hurt each other with the things we want to say.
We could have been so good together
We could have lived forever
But no, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay.

[Chorus]

Now that you're gone
Was what I did so wrong?
So wrong that you had to leave me alone?
