from 10 Things I Hate About You (내가 널 사랑할 수 없는 10가지 이유) by Richard Gibbs [ost] (1999)
I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love
But to you I gave my affection right from the start I have a lover who loves me, how could I break such a heart Yet still you get my attention Why do you come here when you know I've got troubles enough Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone Make me lie when I don't want to And make someone else some kind of unknowing fool You make me stay when I should not Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by But I mean to see you And I mean to hold you, tightly Feeling guilty, worried, waking from tormented sleep This old love has me bound but the new love cuts deep If I choose now, I'll lose out, one of you has to fall And I need you, and you Why do you come here when you know I've got troubles enough Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone Make me lie when I don't want to And make someone else some kind of unknowing fool You make me stay when I should not Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by But I mean to see you And I mean to hold you, tightly |

When the morning comes
Like shifting sands In a desert storm Like a raging fire Heats up the big sky baby Your love is pure and strong Chained to your heart I surrender Here's where I belong And If I get emotional and I'm restless You’re like a soothing ray of light Bring to me to my senses in a heart beat darling Hold me tender in the night Tell me what miracles are made of Like the sweet soft morning dew How can I ever show you baby How can I prove it all to you That I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love I get so mixed up and tongue tied I can hardly say my name Bring to me to my senses in a heart beat darling Hold me tender in the night Cos I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love Never thought this would Never thought this would Never thought this would happen to me Never thought this would Never thought this would Never thought this would happen to me I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love I'm a woman in love |

Those little imperfections
Are what I love about you The scar on your arms In the shape of a heart Baby blue eyes And the smile of an angel Melt the snow from any mountain And make a madman sane He won’t ever complain In the everglades In the backyard lit by fairy lights With garlands let us walk By the water's edge let's dance Let’s dance, let's dance, let's dance, let's dance You lead, I'll follow And if I stumble Catch me Before I fall I know where we’ve come from I know the road we’ve travelled to get here We’ve seen some tragedies along the way When folks want to exchange places Just walk a few steps in these shoes Sometimes they hurt cost they’re too tight It ain’t always easy being me It ain’t always easy being me Those little imperfections Are what I love about you The scar on your arms In the shape of a heart Baby blue eyes And the smile of an angel Melt the snow from any mountain And make a madman sane He won’t ever complain |

Like the tears running down my face Watch the rain gently fall Like the tears running down my face Sometimes it feel like the sky' is violence Sometimes it feels like nobody hears Sometimes it fells like I'm on an empty highway And I'm on a road to nowhere I'm on a road to nowhere As I watch the street lights flicker Like the dying embers of your affection As I watch the street lights flicker Like the dying embers of your affection Sometimes it feels like we never kissed I've got no interest in the push and pull of the tides Who cares if the world stops spinning Cos I'm a lonely number Yeah I'm a lonely number As I lay me down to sleep All the little birds and the bees That would sing to all the lovers They just pass me by Yeah yeah yeah Even in my dreams Vivid colours turn to a grey scale Even in my dreams Vivid colours turn to a grey scale And I turn to you and I ask How can I make things better And you say You say it's gone It's gone, it’s gone, it's over And I stand outside in just my underwear And I watch the gentle rain fall Yeah watch the gentle rain fall Yeah I watch the gentle rain fall down |

Met him on a Monday And he said he loved me so Walked me to my door Before I knew it to my living room I thought there was no need for worry When he took me in his arms Drank some whisky Hung his coat upon the stand That's when the music started I heard the light switch click I stumbled on a lost shoe The fever's starting This man was getting hot I got no strength to make him stop I guess it's too late But I'll know next time To mix some water with the wine The sun came pouring in at five Upon my face I felt the taste of last night's love Upon my lips I wasn't sure if I had dreamt it Or had not But there across the pillow was the face I had forgot That's when he said he loved me Could be the truth this time He put his arms about me Fever's starting This man was getting hot I got no strength to make him stop I guess it's too late But I'll know next time To mix some water with the wine |

I read your letter yesterday If fell between the covers And my bare skin It fell between my crying And my longing for you I loved this one Too long This one much to much Sometimes I gave just enough of myself But most times nothing at all And you've been gone Too long You know I love you the best You call me crazy That's how you won my heart 'Cos you were half crazy too I read your letter again today Out loud And to myself It gave me back my sanity I didn't feel so alone Won't be too soon Not like the night Not like the night on a summer's day Can't wait to see you step across the room Empty room Save you and me I feel your touches in your letters But it's not half as good as you touching me In real |

His stockin's in his shoes Lipstick and rouge on his face He has his hair piled high Has a red umbrella And carries his head in the sky And I said "Awe Rosie, don't you do that to the boys Don't you come on so willing Don't you come on so strong It can be so chillin' When you act so willin' And your warmth sets like the sun" He has a little baby brother A big fat mama His sister asks for dimes on the street He doesn't feel it's a cover In fact he knows For sure he can please I said he's out there right now Running with the devil Struttin' down the alley ways With the nervous young hopeful At his heel And know his satisfaction won't drive him away And I said "Awe Rosie, don't you do that to the boys Don't you come on so willing Don't you come on so strong It can be so chillin' When you act so willin' And your warmth sets like the sun" He's not looking for a friend He's not looking for a lover There in the crowded bar He has rings on his fingers He's there to tease You know he only wants to take things too far And I said "Awe Rosie, don't you do that to the boys Don't you come on so willing Don't you come on so strong It can be so chillin' When you act so willin' And your warmth sets like the sun" |

I am not in love But I'm open to persuasion East or West Where's the best For romancing With a friend I can smile But with a lover I could hold my head back I could really laugh Really laugh Thank you You took me dancing 'Cross the floor Cheek to cheek But with a lover I could really move Really move I could really dance Really dance Really dance Really dance I could really move Really move Really move Really move Now if I can feel the sun In my eyes And the rain on my face Why can't I Feel love I can really love Really love Really love Really love Really love Love love love love Love love love love Now I got all The friends that I want I may need more But I shall just stick to those That I have got With friends I still feel So insecure Little darling I believe you could Help me a lot Just take my hand And lead me where you will No conversation No wave goodnight Just make love With affection Sing me another love song But this time With a little dedication Sing it, sing it You know that's what I like Once more with feeling Give me love Give me love Give me love Love...

Met him on a Monday And he said he loved me so Walked me to my door Before I knew it to my living room I thought there was no need for worry When he took me in his arms Drank some whisky Hung his coat upon the stand That's when the music started I heard the light switch click I stumbled on a lost shoe The fever's starting This man was getting hot I got no strength to make him stop I guess it's too late But I'll know next time To mix some water with the wine The sun came pouring in at five Upon my face I felt the taste of last night's love Upon my lips I wasn't sure if I had dreamt it Or had not But there across the pillow was the face I had forgot That's when he said he loved me Could be the truth this time He put his arms about me Fever's starting This man was getting hot I got no strength to make him stop I guess it's too late But I'll know next time To mix some water with the wine |

Sinking Caught up in a whirling motion Such a strange sensation The currents uncertain Like sails of a mill I spin Like wheels I move in a circle While you stand on the bank Immune or evasive Throw me a lifeline Save me... Intimacy and affection Frozen In this game of chance I forfeit Full hand of love With no counters Like a moth With no flame To persuade me Like blood in the rain Running thin While you stand on the inside Looking in Save me... Inside looking in Complete in yourself Throw me a lifeline Save me... Stand on the bank Immune or evasive Throw me a lifeline Save me... |

I don't know what you're thinking Should I stay or say goodbye You blow smoke on the ceiling You don't wanna look into my eyes You've got somebody who loves you But now I wanna see you fan the fire Wrap the sheets around you With me hugged up inside I wanna see you fan the fire Come on stoke the blaze And don't run for cover You've got somebody who loves you Somebody loves you You've got somebody who loves you Somebody loves you Cozy corner your arms around you So tired of one night stands Left with longing from misspent passion With one more human to despise You've got somebody who loves you Don't mine for gold in the dim lit cafes And as the gypsy once foretold Love is dark but no stranger Mistaken shyness can be costly Too hasty a goodbye Then you've lost me You've got somebody who loves you Somebody loves you I wanna see you fan the fire Come on stoke the blaze And don't run for cover Mistaken shyness can be costly Too hasty a goodbye Then you've lost me |

Sad are the eyes
Yet no tears The flight of the wild geese Brings a new hope Rescued from all this Old friends And those newly found What chance to make it last When there's danger all around And reason just ups and disappears Time is running out So much to be done Tell me what more What more What more can we do There were promises made Plans firmly laid Now madness prevails Lies fill the air What more What more What more can we do What chance to make it last What more What more can we do |

Show some emotion Put expression in your eyes Light up If you're feeling happy But if it's bad Then let those ears roll down Some people hurting Someone choking up inside Some poor souls dying Too proud to say They got no place to lie And there's people If they hear a joke Can't keep the laugh Out of their eye I said Show some emotion Put expression in your eyes Light up If you're feeling happy But if it's bad Then let those tears roll down Some people in love But all they got's a photography How can they get it Too scared To open their mouth To ask I said Show some emotion Put expression in your eyes Light up If you're feeling happy But if it's bad Then let those tears roll down Come on try Learn to bleed When you get a bad fall Light up Light up Light up If it's nice But if it's bad Then let those tears roll down |

Took my baby walking We went down to the sea You know we talked of loving And you talked of love to me We sat down under a bus shelter And talked of other things But bit by bit by bit it came 'round again How much in love are we It was a fine thing We were young So much love to give It was the right thing We were alone Under the stars Getting in the mood Kissing under the Big bright shiny stars That light up the sky Kissing in front of that old lady Who just walked past our seat Getting in the mood Kissin' and a huggin' Because It was a fine thing We were young So much love to give It was the right thing We were alone Under the stars |

Well you started out wanting my body And I didn't mind 'Cos we liked each other And it also helped to pass the time Well everybody dreams of one And now I want you And not just for fun But if you've got no love to give Baby don't give it here if you've got no love to give Baby don't give it here I wanted you to be my lover I would be your friend And I'd wear the purple shirt 'Cos it makes you laugh And I would too Well if there's anything I can do I wanna do it And if I had no love to give I wouldn't give it to you if I had no love to give I wouldn't give it to you Your best friend's friend told someone I was the hurting kind And they've planted that seed And it's growing there in your mind Well if you're looking for a permanent mate Just accept me as your fate 'Cos if I had no love to give I wouldn't give it to you if I had no love to give I wouldn't give it to you Baby don't give it to you I wouldn't give it to you Baby don't give it to you I wouldn't give it to you Baby don't give it |

I'm right on target My aim is straight So you're in love I say, what of it? Things can change There's always changes I want to try some rearranging I say Drop the pilot, try my balloon Drop the monkey, smell my perfume Drop the mahout, I'm the easy rider Don't use your army to fight a losing battle Animal, mineral physical, spiritual I'm the one you need I'm the one you need You're kissing cousins there's no smoke, no flame If you lose that pilot I can fly your plane If you want solid ground come on and try me Or I can take you so high that you're never gonna want to come down I say Drop the pilot, try my balloon Drop the monkey, smell my perfume Drop the mahout, I'm the easy rider Don't use your army to fight a losing battle Animal, mineral physical, spiritual I'm the one you need I'm the one you need |

I've done it myself I've done things I never thought I would do We all make mistakes And I'm no exception Sometimes I think I've told it all So plainly But there's no one there To hear the words I say Sometimes It all sounds so crazy Your version of the story That I know Oh when your memory Fails you Everybody Gotta know this feeling Everybody gotta know Everybody gotta know this feeling Inside I've been there myself I have been some place I never would go to just not my style but persuasion made me Open my mind Sometimes I think I know it all so clearly But then someone comes And shows another way Sometimes I think that I am going crazy My character changes For one day Oh when your habits fail you Everybody Gotta know this feeling Everybody gotta know Everybody gotta know this feeling Inside |

Do boys dream about Living in a constant ecstasy Do boys dream about The same kind of things That young girls dream What do the boys dream What do the boys all dream of Do boys dream about Life in space and hallucination Do boys dream about The killing of a friend The investigation What do the boys dream What do the boys all dream of Do boys dream about The great escape of the mythical monsters Do boys dream about The big romance With the girl of their dreams What do the boys dream What do the boys all dream of Do the boys dream about the wonders of the world and all in colour Do boys dream about The big romance With the girl of their dreams What do the boys dream What do the boys all dream of |
