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

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

You called all the way from America
And said hang on to love girl
But the weeks and the months and the tears
Passed by
And my eyes couldn't stand the strain
Of that promised love

All the way from America

You called all the way from America
And said I'll soon be home girl
But the years and the tears and the fears
Passed by
And my heart couldn't stand the pain
Of that promised love

All the way from America
All the way from America

I stayed all alone and I waited 'round
For you to knock at my door
But the knock never came and no ring
At all
And now I sit and wonder why
You made that first call

All the way from America

I don't believe I'll stay here
I don't think I wanna wait here any more
And if you search for me baby
Better bring some more love than you declared

All the way from America

You never say
I love you
You have to add
Always

And if I cry
You wipe the tears away
You say you'll be here darling
Always

But always is a long long time
And time can change so much
I want to stay with you
Always

Oh the gifts that you bring
Darling you have given me
The joy of living
In every way

After all this time
Things haven't changed so much
I want to stay with you
Always
You still say I love you
Always

All dressed up and we got somewhere to go
We're all dressed up in our Sunday clothes
Me and my baby
See us walking down the road
We're going to the hop
Down at the hall you'll find us dancing

I'm dancing right across the floor
Me and my baby
See the people
Hear them shout for more
Me and my baby
See us doing all those fancy steps
We're dancing at the hop
This dance is the coolest yet

One boy he grabs a foreign girl
And he never even asked her name
He wants a dance
And he wants it now
And he can dance
Let me show you how

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

Ah, oh oh...

I've been up
I've been down
I've been every which way round
I was lost in a sea of self pity

I fooled myself
That I was fine
Someone who liked my company
I played host
I entertained Mr. Misery

And Mr. Sorrow
He'd come along sometimes
I never liked his face
And here we'd sit
Three musketeers
Sorry misery and me

Ah oh oh..
Hey I know
Where I would rather be

I may not get to heaven
You put me
Back on the road
Back on the road
I may not get to heaven
Ask myself
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road

And Mr. Sorrow
He'd come along sometimes
I never liked his face
And here we'd sit
Musketeers
Sorrow
Misery
Me

Ah oh oh..
Guess where I'd rather be

I may not get to heaven
But with you
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
Again

So many ladies love you
With the innocence of a child
Child who believes in God
You keep 'em in luxury
But it's a luxury in the dark
You walk around
With a smile upon your face
But there's something
That you don't know
You're luck's run out
And it's a time for you to go
Everybody told me I was crazy
To try to tame such a wild one
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I got myself into this thing
Like I never knew I could and now
I gotta get away just as fast as I can
I got myself into this thing
And I'll find a way out


You gave me babies
To you that proves your love
Tie my hands with jewels
Barefoot and pregnant you kept me
You sought to
Hide me from the truth
But your lady's done bought some shoes
And she's stepping out on the town
Your lady took herself in hand
And she's spreading herself around


I wanted your love
But not at any price
You're just the hurting kind
Say you want me for yourself
But your deeds deny it
Everybody told me I was crazy
To try to tame such a wild one
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I got myself into this thing
Like I never knew I could and now
I gotta get away just as fast as I can
I got myself into this thing
And I'll find a way out

You put me in touch
With all my senses
You showed me the way

I've never been close
To such feelings
I did not beg
But you cured me of
My broken heart

I'll never forget
The day that we met
Hmm so sweet
Like honey from the bee

You put yourself square
To my defenses
Tore down the walls
Walked right in
And you stole my heart

Up up and above
Beyond the blue
Way beyond the stars
Someone looked at me
And thought of you
Reached out and touched us so soft
Like gentle snow

I'll never forget
The day that we met
You are so sweet
You're like honey from the bee

You put yourself square
To my defenses
Tore down the walls
Walked right in
And you
And stole my my heart

Tore down the walls
Stole my heart

Tore down the walls
Walked right in
And you stole my heart

Can't get your attention
No matter how I try
This fascination
Infatuation
I got to have it
Now I know you got it
Can I get next to you yeh

I always figured
Love was overrated
Call me fickle
Cos now it's just the greatest
This attraction
Was unpremeditated
Hold my hand
Please

Do do wop
Do do wop
Do do wop
Do do wop

Can't get your attention
No matter how I try
Infation
This fascination
I got to have it
Now I know you got it
Can I get next to you yeh
Can I get next to you yeh

Do do wop
Do do wop
Do do wop
Do do wop

Tried to do the best for you
Things I said
Were meant to last
Loved you so
I hate to go
I feel strong with you

I know I deserve this
If I could change the hands of time
Turn back the page

I can't get over
How I broke your heart
And the moment
That I lost my pride
And I can't forget
That look in your eyes
You were begging me
Don't make you cry
Loved you so
I almost said
I was home alone
But I couldn't see you more hurt
When you found out the lie

Not your fault
Not your fault
I know I've deceived you
I let my head be ruled while my conscience told me
If I get caught
Our love will end
I didn't seem to care

Now I can't get over
How I broke your heart
And the moment


That I lost my pride
And I can't forget
That look in your eyes
You were begging me
Don't make you cry
Now I can't get over
How I tore my whole world apart

I can't get over
How I broke your heart
And the moment
And I can't forget
That look in your eyes
You were begging me

Love you so I always will
Though you're miles from me
And I can't get over
How I tore my whole world apart

I can get over
How I broke your heart
And the moment
And I can't forget
That look in your eyes
You were begging me

I can get over
How I broke your heart
And the moment
That I lost my pride
And I can't forget
That look in your eyes
You were begging me
Don't make you cry

I've tried hard to escape
From this feeling of wanting you
But I know you as well
As I know myself

And as hard as you try
To deny that you care for me
You know I can read
What your lips won't say
Oh darling

We can't stay close
We can't let go
What are we supposed to do
Darling
What are we supposed to do

Can't stay close
Can't let go
What are we supposed to do
Darling

We may argue and fight
And the tears run wild
But it's where we belong
In each other's arms
Oh darling

Can't stay close
Can't let go
What are we supposed to do
Darling
What are we supposed to do

Might as well ask me
To drown in the Dead Sea
You might as well ask me
To walk a high wire

You might as well say
The sky is falling
You can say stop
But I know I can't

I've been loving you far too long
I can't stop it
I've been loving you far too long
I can't stop it now

Coast to coast
I have seen the world
Seen the rest
And you are the best

CHORUS
Can't stop it baby
Can't stop this love for you

All my moods
You always win me round
Don't leave me darling
Don't wanna
Learn a brand new dance

Might as well ask me
To steal the Taj Majal
Spend a night along
In a haunted house

You can say stop
But I know I can't

Can't stop it baby
Can't stop this love for you
Can't stop it baby
Can't stop this love for you

Can't stop loving you
Can't stop loving you
Can't stop loving you
Can't stop it baby
Can't stop this love
I have for you darling
Deep down inside
I will always love you darling

Can't stop it
Can't stop can't stop
Can't stop can't stop
Can't stop can't stop
This feeling

Say stop but I know
I can't stop I can't stop
I can't stop I can't stop
I can't stop can't stop
Loving you darling
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop I can't stop

I swear you were not my ambition
A cooling aid was on my mind
I walked up to the bar and I ordered
Then I took my ice outside
I sat down under the hot sun
I looked around at this new land
And then oh
Cool Blue
Long dark
You stole my heart
Stole my heart

I woke up first light next morning
And I took a tram to the Leidse Plein
I hired a bike and I drove around for hours
I was searching for those dark eyes
I made a stop at the Blue Note
I passed up a chance for some good fun
Cause of you
Cool Blue
Long dark
You stole my heart
Stole my heart
Stole my heart
Stole my heart

Stole my heart

I made a stop at the Blue Note
Passed up a chance for some good fun
Looking for you, Cool Blue
Looking for you

What was so special
We were exact
So much together
We were like that
You'd send chills down my spine
Or burn me up
With your desire

What happened to you and me
And the love that we once knew

I read the letters
I found the cards
Not hidden well
I thought love
Transcended lust
I guess my heart was wishing

What happened to you and me
And the love that we once knew
You never said it would end
And I thought we were unique

Safe and sound
Cradled in your love

What happened to you and me
And the love that we once knew
You never said it would end
And I thought we were unique

You never said it would end
And I thought I could depend
On a life time
Spent with you

I don't mind if you tell me
That you're never coming back no more
Don't mind if you say
A dozen women got babies
And they're all yours
Don't mind if you tell me
That you got to work late tonight
No matter what you're saying
As long as you say it while

You hold me in your arms
Squeeze me nice and tight
Let's get down to business
I hear you speak
But my lips still seek your kisses
I know I'm crazy

There's women who want you for your money
Well they get what they deserve
May you never
Reach rock bottom babe
But I'd be there
With some extra fine clothes
So you can

Take me on the town
Flaunt our love around
Dancing rude
We're gonna leave
Cos the steam will start a hissin'
You drive me crazy

Let me
Hold you in my arms
Hug your breath away
Let's get down to business
My younger days
Must have lacked some supervision
You lead me astray

Me myself and I want you
I know you're a lover who can't be true
I'm lucky that I got you
To show me love and affection
Tonight
Let's get down to business
I hear you speak
But my lips still seek your kisses
I know I'm crazy

Hold me in your arms
Squeeze me nice and tight
Let's get down to business
I hear you speak
But, my lips still seek your kisses
Drive me crazy

Please sit down
Tell me what you got to say
Now there's a difference between truth and lies
I can check
I've got your DNA
Now look me right between the eyes
Tell me when I saw you
And your new lady friend
What were you talking about
When you laughed
And your two cheeks met
What were you talking about

Let us talk
In the morning, babe
I've got your DNA and the lie detect
How I thought I could change you, babe
All those flies buzzing round your head

Look at me
There's nothing new over there
You've seen that stereo a thousand times
Lift your head
And lift my spirits up
Because you know
I'm dying deep inside
Don't you care about me
Are you looking for freedom
Is that what you're thinking about
Do you wanna hold me in your arms and kiss
Cos that's what I'm thinking about

Let us talk
In the morning, babe
I've got your DNA and the lie detect
How I thought I could change your ways
All those flies buzzing round your head

You got a brand new way of loving
Keeping the lights turned on
You keep a comb in your pocket
And your shinny shiny shoes
Yeah don't touch the ground these days
What's going on
Yeah you think I'm stupid cos I don't complain
Better sit your self down start talking fast
And if the lying don't kill you
The truth just might make you fade away
Fade away
Fade away

Oh the feeling
when you're reeling
You step lightly thinking you're number one
Down to zero with a word leaving, for another one

Now you won't put you're feet back on the ground
Down to the ground down to the ground
Down to the ground down to the ground

Brand new dandy
first class scene stealer
Walks through the crowd and takes your man
Sends you rushing to the mirror
Brush your eyebrows and say
"There's more beauty in you than anyone"

Oh, remember who walked the warm sand beside you
Moored to your heel let the waves come rushing in
She took the worry from your head
But then again
She put trouble in your heart instead
And you fall
Down to the ground
Down to the ground

You'll know heartache
Still more crying when you're thinking of your mother's only son
Take to your bed
you say there's peace in sleep
But you dream of love instead
Oh, the heartache you'll find
Can bring more pain than a blistering sun

But oh when you fall
Oh when you fall
Fall at my door

Instrumental

Oh the feeling

Things can change
There's always changes

Let me sail
To the depths of your soul
Let me anchor as near as I can be
To your shore
I'm coming into dry land
Been a long time at sea
And the season of loving
Has long awaited me

Tides and waves have kept me
Kept me going
I'm longing for the calm
I'm heading for the pastures
I can see on your dry land
Let the sea that once did take me
Bring me back safe to your door
For I long to touch the dry land
Of your shore

Clear back to land I'm rowing
Clear the decks
Let me touch your soul
Maybe I'll bring you back a gift of love
I'll promise you so much more

He had me down
But I put up a fight
I saw those teeth
And I groped for my knife
Big brown bear
With the juice from his mouth
He could taste my leg
And he thought he'd got me

But I am eating the bear

He lurked around
'Cos he knew where I lived
I'm in the jungle
and he means to eat me
He means to eat me
He's a hungry bear
He touched my arm
And he thought he'd got me

But I am eating the bear

Some days the bear will eat you
Some days you'll eat the bear

And I am eating the bear

It's not just girls
He eats who he wants
He's big and strong
Fights dirty and mean
If you spill some blood
He'll smell you for miles
You better watch out
'Cos he's right behind you

Watch the rain gently fall
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

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

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

Oh when your memory
Fails you

Everybody

Everybody gotta know
Everybody gotta know this feeling

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

Well I've never met anyone
With your courage
And the way your enjoy life
Puts me to shame
Just an hour with you
And I understand
Why we had to meet

I saw you look in the mirror
And adjust your hair
Smile and leave the room

Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things
But you're somebody special
Somebody who feels
You're not the first
And you won't be the last
But you are the one
I'll remember

It's God's revenge
You're surrounded by fear
A compassionate man
You hold people dear
No blame for the mother
Who curses your name
She fears for her son
It's death by association

But you respect yourself
And you let it show
Some fade with guilt
And the shame
They way you
Tell your story
With no tears
For yourself

Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things
You're not the first
And you won't be the last
But you are the one
I'll remember

Hey hey
Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy

Doing everyday things
Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things
Just an everyday boy

I have lost in love
I have lost in love
That's twice today
Now you're on my mind
What will I find
Will you be kind to me
I won't be afraid
I won't be afraid
To love this time
Gentle yet firm
Darling I'm yours
Hold me tonight
'Cos I
Got a feeling in my heart
For you
I
Got a feeling in my heart
For you
I got a feeling in my heart for you
I got a feeling in my heart that's true
Oh I
Got a feeling in my heart
For you
Never leave your side
I will never turn my back on you
This feeling's no lie
It's just you and I
Hold me tonight
'Cos I
Got a feeling in my heart
For you
I
Got a feeling in my heart
For you

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

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

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

Everything I try to give you
Everything I try to do
There’s no pleasing you
You want the stars in the morning
And the sun dead of night
You place immovable objects
In my plain sight

Well I'm giving you your freedom
Though I never owned you
Nor wanted to
Hey hey hey hey

You're free
Now enjoy your freedom
Don't call me up
For cheap advice
You're free
Make your own decisions
You live your life
And let me live mine

Never held out on affection
Gave you most material things
There's no pleasing you
You called me your lover
Did I treat you that bad
You really want me to suffer
But I can take so much

Well I'm giving you your freedom
Though I never owned you
Nor wanted to
Hey hey hey hey

You're free
Now enjoy your freedom
Don't call me up
For cheap advice
You're free
Make your own decisions
You live your life
And let me live mine
Please

It's been so long
Since I've seen you
My old friend

I remember your eyes
How they would shine
Those crazy times
When you and I
Fooled around

I remember the time
You fell in love
Didn't know how
To say goodbye
To your baby

And you made me take
The goodbye note
Around
And that little girl
She cried and cried
And she asked me if
I knew exactly why
You'd gone

I told a like
I said you felt
She'd be much happier
With someone else
But then you'd do
The same for me

Remember when
We stayed out late
We'd cause a fight
But we would never stay
To the end

I loved you then
I love you still
You know I think
I always will
You're a good friend
A good friend
To me

Who was it
Who came for me when I was
Stranded in the bad man's land
Who was it
Who put up bail for me when I was
So desperate to get out
Who believed with me
That I was not guilty
Who gave me beer when I was thirsty
And who gave me twenty-five dollars to hold

It's been so long

He's a tom cat, a stallion
After a lusty mare
She kicks and bolts
With love big eyes
He just hangs on in there
He wants her, and it's simple man
He wants her, 'cos she's his kind
He wants her, he wants her, he wants her
He's a rat, a fighter
They're a match
What he wants he means to get
You better understand
And he want her, to bear his child
He wants her to love her man
He wants her, he wants her, he wants her
He wants to be a lion to her lamb
You know he means to love her all he can
He want to be a lion to her lamb
You know he means to love her all he can
He wants her, he wants her, he wants her
He's a fox, a rooster
After a broodin' hen
Watch out ma'am he says you can't
Rough on this male man
He wants her, with all her frills
He wants her, to give him thrills,
He wants her, he wants her, he wants her, he wants her

He's a tom cat, a stallion
After a lusty mare
She kicks and bolts
With love big eyes
He just hangs on in there

He wants her, and it's simple man
He wants her, 'cos she's his kind
He wants her, he wants her, he wants her

He's a rat, a fighter
They're a match
What he wants he means to get
You better understand

And he want her, to bear his child
He wants her to love her man
He wants her, he wants her, he wants her

He wants to be a lion to her lamb
You know he means to love her all he can
He want to be a lion to her lamb
You know he means to love her all he can
He wants her, he wants her, he wants her

He's a fox, a rooster
After a broodin' hen
Watch out ma'am he says you can't
Rough on this male man

He wants her, with all her frills
He wants her, to give him thrills,
He wants her, he wants her, he wants her, he wants her

You've got the sweet innocent smile
Eyes to idolize
Shivers down my spine
Take my breath away
I want to thank you for the love you gave
And I want to thank you for the heart you saved

Thank you
Thank you for the love
I want to thank you for the hearts and flowers

People let me say
Mmm this is nice
I know you think I'm foolish
And I'm making a mistake but
To me this is perfect
I want to

Thank you
Thank you for the love
I can't believe it's really happening to me

Thank you
Thank you for the love
I want to thank you for the hearts and flowers
Oh yeah

I want to thank you for our rainy days
And I want to thank you for the love you gave
And I want to thank you for the month of May
'Cos that's when you came and took my tears away
And I want to thank you
Want to thank you

Want to thank you for our rainy days
And I want to thank you for the love you gave
And I want to thank you for the month of May
'Cos that's when you came and stole my heart away

And I want to thank you
Want to thank you

Thank you for the love
I want to thank you for the hearts and flowers
Oh yeah

Came into my life
Made me think that I
Was really something
Took me by surprise
Someone with your charm
Looking my way

Am I in heaven
Am I in heaven
Am I in heaven
Have I gone up
Have I gone up
To the big cloud
Number nine

Hey you
Brought me out of my shell
I don't know why you care
But you do it well
Started a dream
Dreaming made me see
Oh babe
You're so right for me

And I wanna be the sunshine when you're down
And I wanna be the apple of your eye
And I wanna be the one you run to

Cause I found the perfect someone
Who can take me in their arms and love me
I found the perfect someone
Who could take me in their arms and love me

Started a dream
Dreaming made me see
Oh babe

If you're gonna do it do it right

Some people want to see my blood gush out
And others want to watch while I cry
I heard somebody say once I was way too black
And someone answers she's not black enough for me
I bite my tongue and it bites me back
I bought a house and the neighbours moved
I had a dog but it was stolen
Some people say that it's coming
And I'll get it
It must be something I have no control of
They'll put the skin of the fruit on the ground
And I'll slip and fall
Oh how cruel to make a girl cry
Oh how cruel to make a girl cry
Oh how cruel to make a girl cry
I have no hope in hell and I want to get to heaven
Too many lies or not enough sinnin'
Some people say that it's coming
And I'll get it
It must be something I have no control of
They'll put the skin of the fruit on the ground
And I'll slip and fall
Oh how cruel to make a girl cry
Oh how cruel to make a girl cry
Oh how cruel to make a girl cry

Why here
Why now
Why so early
Why you getting down on me
You know you're a
Beautiful person
But just now
You bother me

It's so coincidental
You reaching out for me
Just when I got
All this money
And you
Footloose and fancy free

I love you like a broth
I'll help you find you feet
But don't take advantage honey
Your feet ain't under me

Why so tall
So young
So handsome
You get the best of me
In your eyes
I see a reflection
You the beauty I'm the beast

You got yourself a lover
Can't take for a ride
But you know I love you honey
I cannot lie

You want some money
Kiss and cuddle too
Take it all now baby
It's always been for you

I can't lie to myself

My baby says to me
Come over here
And talk with me

I go and I sit down
We talk about the
Joy we've found

I love my baby
I love my baby
So much

Love to hear you
Call my name
Out loud
Love to hear you
Say I make you proud

But will it end now
We can't say
Will we be happy
All the way

I love my baby
I love my baby
So much

Late
At night
I feel so lonely
Here's a body next to mine but I'm feeling cold

And baby in the morning light
When I look in some stranger's eyes
It's then I know that the need in me
Is really for your paradise

I dance
I sing
But there's something missing
Every night a different name to call

But you know when I hold 'em tight
I always give the game away
I try so hard to make it right
But it always ends up the same

You know I need you

I need you
Like I needed you
The first time we kissed
I need you
And I need you now
And I can't resist
Standing by your door in case you leave

I miss you mostly in the night
And I miss you through the day
I hate myself for hurting you
Yes I know I drove you clean away

You know I need you
But now I need you

Told me that you loved me
You've been looking for me all your life
Told you I was married
You said 'baby it don't seem right'
One touch from your fingers and I'm burning
I can't wait to kiss you on the mouth
I can't contain this yearning
And I can't seem to put the fire out
I went up to your apartment
Only to be polite
It's late, I started leaving
But you got in the way so nice
One touch from your fingers and I'm burning
I can't wait to kiss you on the mouth
I can't contain this yearning
And I can't seem to put the fire out
The look in your eyes I'm learning
Would melt a tyrant's heart
But I really must be going
And I'll see you later sweetheart
The phone rang in the morning
Day had begun
I heard your soft voice crying
Told me you were wrong
In time I'd learn to love you
and you had time to spare
And you called again tomorrow
And the next day
The midday flight was on time
No time to hesitate
I changed and unchanged my mind
But this one had to stay
I knew that if we started
I'd be lost and so would you
Though we both regret our parting
We are bound to see it through
I still see your face before me
And smell the scent you wore
And hear your soft voice crying
One touch from your fingers and I'm burning
I can't wait to kiss you on the mouth
I can't contain this yearning
And I can't seem to put the fire out

Told me that you loved me
You've been looking for me all your life
Told you I was married
You said 'baby, it don't seem right'

One touch from your fingers and I'm burning
I can't wait to kiss you on the mouth
I can't contain this yearning
And I can't seem to put the fire out

I went up to your apartment
Only to be polite
It's late, I started leaving
But you got in the way so nice

One touch from your fingers and I'm burning
I can't wait to kiss you on the mouth
I can't contain this yearning
And I can't seem to put the fire out

The look in your eyes I'm learning
Would melt a tyrant's heart
But I really must be going
And I'll see you later sweetheart

I can't wait to kiss you on the mouth
I can't contain this yearning
And I can't seem to put the fire out

You got the look I like
You make the people stare
And it's getting me
In a state

You're going out
With someone
I don't approve of
And it's getting me
In a state

I see you in a restaurant
I wanna hold you
I see you with your mother
I wanna hold you
I see you when you don't see me
I wanna hold you

I wanna hold you
In my arms
And I wanna
Love you
I want you
And I'm gonna try

I'm searching but
I don't
Know why I bother
'Cos I've seen you
And you look
Just right
