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 |

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 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 photograph How can they get it Too scared to open their mouths and laugh 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 And if it's bad then let those tears roll down 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 Come on try 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 If it's bad then let those tears roll down |

Smell of a man
Smell of musk The noise of the train From morning till dusk The up escalator broken down The clothes on my back Look like they were taken out of the laundry basket To weary to wash To weary to wash Now there's hordes of people Pushing and shoving Sizzling noises coming out of their ears Hold on to the strap Or hold on to a stranger Hope that stranger's day has not been too hard Aggression builds up When the going is slow And you're packed like sardines Something's gotta blow Something's gotta blow When you work so hard And the sweat pours down on you Something's gotta blow When your pay don't match The work you slave And the pain you get Something's gotta blow Please stand on the right So I can pass on the left Cos Something's gotta blow Something's gotta blow Something's gotta blow Dodging the fare Ain't worth the crime Think of your loved ones Whilst you’re doing your time Being met at the station No better thrill Than that 4x4 cruiser Coming over the hill Bringing love and relief From the noise and the heat From the suicide jumpers From that head nodding sleep From the smell of burgers And the rustling of sweets Someone lend me your phone So I can say which train to meet Let me say which train to meet Something's gotta blow When you work so hard And the sweat pours down on you Something's gotta blow When your pay don't match The work you slave And the pain you get Something's gotta blow Please stand on the right So I can pass on the left Cos something's gotta blow Something's gotta blow |

Say what you will
You can't take the stars at night Take your love But that doesn't stop my life You've been fooling around I looked to you for love Thought you walked on holy ground But oh, you're mean I thought that here Was a guy, brave and strong A brother to his brothers Brave ans strong Was preaching what to practice But that don't mean a thing You're mean Tall in the saddle One of these days you're gonna have to dismount You don't leave me downhearted But I'm sorry that you had to go 'Cos we had fun, fun, fun, fun Fun, fun, fun We had fun while it lasted We had fun while it lasted You were God's gift to girls You persuaded Then you beat up on their hearts You made it, you made it You made it, you made it Oh you're just mean Tall in the saddle One of these days you're gonna have to dismount You don't leave me downhearted But I'm sorry that you had to go 'Cos we had fun, fun, fun, fun Fun, fun, fun We had fun while it lasted We had fun while it lasted |

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 |

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 |

Checked shirt Pimple on your cheek Ears like handle bars Teeth yellow Like the sun Gravelled voice like a beaten path But baby when you sing the blues I'd take off all my clothes for you Baby when you sing the blues I'd take off all my clothes for you Wake up Every day Turn my face To feel the morning breeze At night When we meet You’re brighter than a constellation of stars Baby when you sing the blues I'd take all my clothes off for you Baby when you sing the blues I'd take all my clothes off for you Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away As long as baby don't leave I'm happy every day Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away As long as baby don't leave I'm happy every day Blue hat Checked shirt Pimple on your cheek Ears like handle bars Teeth yellow Like the sun Gravelled voice like a beaten path But baby when you sing the blues I'd take off all my clothes for you Baby when you sing the blues I'd take off all my clothes for you Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away Got a feeling that my cares gonna walk away As long as baby don't leave I'm happy every day |

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... |

When I saw you coming down the road I thought Mama Mercy Don't let him get me I got a happy life at home But as sure as sure is you passed me Of course I had to look and as I turned my head I knew right then I was gonna have to do it again And I was singing Mercy Mercy mama Don't you dare let it get me I love the one I love And if I stray It's gonna hurt I was drinking beer with a close friend When I saw you walking in the room I thought Mercy me I can't keep a running You're gonna get me, oooh As wrong as this is You touched me Of course you had me hooked And as I kissed your lips I knew right then I was gonna have to do it again And I was singing Mercy Mercy mama Don't you dare let it get me I love the one I love And if I stray It's gonna hurt I was sitting down with my sweetheart Making out I was sincere I thought Mercy me I can't keep a lying I got to get the air clear as long as you stay with me Forget the whole affair I promise you I'll be true I'm never gonna do it again And I was singing Mercy Mercy mama Don't you dare let it get me I love the one I love And if I stray It's gonna hurt |

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 |

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 |

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... |

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 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 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 |

He has little red feet
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" |

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... |

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 |

Lives with his mother He loves the woman Who loves his brother What can he do now As she walks across the floor Here comes his brother Walking sideways through the door Was the same at school He played the fool Or took a back seat While Simon ruled He played by himself a lot And people called him shy His mother said be more friendly And he would ask her why Has Simon got to be more friendly And do I have to be like him And mother said No son Gotta be yourself Be more like I tell you Be like me Be like I tell you Be like me Now when Kathleen Came on the scene He saw her first And then Simon spoke He took her to places That completely turned her head Gave her practical things Like diamonds for her neck Has Simon got to be so friendly Sometimes he makes me want to kill Look at 'em dancing While he's standing by the wall There's gonna be trouble When the time to leave is called And Simon won't be feeling friendly He'll be lying too close to the floor And mother said Oh son That's not like you You gotta be more like I tell you Be like me Be like I tell you Be like me |

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 |

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 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 |
