Sade [보컬,프로듀서]

Heaven please send to all mankind,
Understanding and peace of mind.
But, if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love.

Show all the world how to get along,
Peace will enter when hate is gone.
But, if it's not asking too much,
Please send me someone to love.

I lay awake night and ponder world troubles.
My answer is always the same.
That unless men put an end to all of this,
Hate will put the world in a flame, (oh) what a shame.
Just because I'm in misery.
I'm not begging for no sympathy.
But if it's not asking too much,
Just send me someone to love.

Heaven please send to all mankind,
Understanding and peace of mind.
But if it's not asking too much,
Please send me someone to love.
HMMMMMmmmmmm

He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart.
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache.
He's loved in seven languages.
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky.
Heaven help him, when he falls.

Diamond life, lover boy.
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
City lights and business nights.
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance.
No place to be ending but somewhere to start.
No need to ask. He's a smooth operator,

smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.

Face to face, each classic case.
We shadow box and double cross,
Yet need the chase.
A license to love, insurance to hold.
Melts all your memories and change into gold.
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.
No need to ask. He's a smooth operator,

smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.

Smooth operator, smooth operator,
smooth operator, smooth operator,
smooth operator...

Frankie, didn't I tell you,
"You got the world in the palm of your hand."
Frankie, didn't I tell you,
"They're running at your command."

You know the chains as if they're your invention.
It wasn't your intension,
Frankie,
to fall in the trap you made.

It's a crying shame.
You left a trail of destruction.
Heartbreaker, you know now,

Frankie, didn't I tell you,
"The lion would come in for a kill,"
Frankie, didn't I say,
"it had power over your sweet skill."

When am I gonna make a living?
It's gonna take a while before I give in.
See the people fussing and theiving.
While the sharks are wheeling and dealing.

Gotta look up and tell yourself,

They'll waste your body and soul if you allow them to.
This is time to start believing in yourself.
Put the blame on no-one else.

Gotta find out what I meant to you.
You're the one who broke my heart.
Gotta find out what I meant to you.
You're the one who broke my heart.

When I met you boy,
you were as sweet as cherry pie.
That smiling eye you were as wild as Friday night.
I should have known how ever hard you try.
Change'd come and strangle it.
It was bound to die.

You were sweet as cherry pie,
wild as Friday night.
Sweet as cherry pie,
wild as Friday night.

Gotta find out what I meant to you.
You're the one who broke my heart in two.
Gotta find out what I meant to you, oh boy.

Gotta find out what I meant to you.
You're the one who broke my heart in two.
Where were you just when I needed you?

You gave me your soul for at least a day.
"Listen boy, there was a time
when I wanted you to stay."
You'll know the cost,
it's you who's gonna pay.
I'm stronger now, I loved you then.
I'll ask you anyway.

You were sweet as cherry pie,
wild as Friday night.
Sweet as cherry pie,

You're a son of a gun.

Oh boy, you broke my heart.

Sally, you opened out your arms to all those young men.
And girl you had room,
for every one of them.

You're the only girl.
Who are the only girl on Barry and Third
Sure as hell,
you're the only one who cares.

So put your hands together for Sally.
She saved all those young men.
Put your hands together for Sally.
She the one who cared for them.

She's doing our dirty work.
She's the only one who can.
Doing our dirty work, thirsty world,
one angry day in New York.

Take a look at Dave he was once seventeen,
Zoot suit and shiny shoes.
He ran around town and threw his metholated laughter.
Most of his memories drowned.

But he remembers what his mother used to shout.
She used to shout,
"One day, surely son,
the street are gonna tire you out."

So put your hands together for Sally.
She's the one who cared for him.
Put your hands together for Sally.
She was there when his luck was running thin.

She's doing our dirty work.
She's the only one who can.
Doing our dirty work, thirsty world,
one angry day in New York.

Tommy had a wife and family,
but the needle came between the love and the hard times.
Thank God for Sally,
she was there through the misery.

Just a place to lay his head.
Just about better off than dead.

She's doing our dirty work.
She's the only one who can.
Doing our dirty work, thirsty world,
one angry day...

Vince, came up from the country.
Couldn't even find himself a room.
Thinking about his babies.
They're further away than the moon.

With no money but his pride in his pocket.
There's really no way he can go home.
There's a picture of his woman in his locket.
Most of all he doesn't want to be alone.

So put your hands together for Sally.
She's the one who cared for him.
Put your hands together for Sally.
She was there when his luck was running thin.

She's doing our dirty work.
She's the only one who can.
Doing our dirty work, thirsty world,
one angry day in New York.

and build a wall around your dream.

then I really am true.

This may come

I could see through all of your lies
but still I miss you.
He takes her love
but it doesn't feel like mine

He tastes her kiss
her kisses are not wine
they're not mine.
He takes
but surely she can't give what I'm feeling now.
She takes
but surely she doesn't know how.

Is it a crime? Is it a crime that I still want you?
And I want you to want me
too.

My love is wider
wider than Victoria Lake.
My love is taller
taller than the Empire State.
It dives and it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean.
I can't give you more than that
surely you want me back.

Is it a crime? Is it a crime that I still want you?

Will you keep on
Will you keep on loving me

If I tell you how I feel
Will you keep bringing out the best in me

You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo
You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me

There's a quiet storm
And it never felt like this before
There's a quiet storm
That is you
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo
(Sometimes I think you're just too good for me)

You give me the sweetest taboo
That's why I'm in love with you (with you)

Anything you want me to do, don't let it slip away

Sometimes I think you're just too good for me
Every day is christmas, and every night is new year's Eve

Will you keep on loving me
Will you keep on, will you keep on
Bringing out the best in me

I could aim
But I could not fire
Got a bullet to spare
To kill my desire
Who's calling the shots
One of us must make the Peace
To have or to have not
The fire has got to cease

I'm loaded
Don't know where to point this thing
It's a sin
How we hit where it hurts

Who's calling the shots
One of us must end this masquerade
To have or to have not
Let's heal the wounds that we've made

It'a a war of the heart (it's a war of the heart)
It's a war of the heart

Got a bullet to space, don't wanna send it your way

Who's calling the shots
One of us, must make the peace

You're not the man who gave me everything
I've ever wanted
You're not the man
Who stepped inside my life
And haunted every, every day

You're not the man
Who said he'd never leave
Couldn't breathe
And could not sleep without me

This was someone who you left behind
A long time ago

You're not the man
Who would bleed for me
But never shed a tear
You're not the one
Said he'd always be near

You're not the man
Who threw me a lifeline
And you're not the man
I am so proud to call mine

And you're not the one
Who said he'd never leave
The one who made me believe in me
That was someone who could do no wrong
But you lost him

You're not the man
Who would bleed for me
But never shed a tear
You're not the one
Who said he'd always, always, always be here
said he'd always always be near

But don't get me wrong
Although it seems sad
It's not all bad
You see
I'm not the little girl I use to be

You're not the man
Not the one
Who said he'd always, always, always be near

He was everything you see
He made me believe in me
Said he'd alway always always be here

Jezebel wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth
She probably had less than every one of us
But when she knew how to walk she knew
How to bring the house down
Can't blame her for her beauty
She wins with her hands down
Jezebel, what a belle
Looks like a princess in her new dress
How did you get that
Do you really want to know, she said
It would seem she's on her way
It's more, more than just a dream
She put on her stockings and shoes
Had nothing to lose - she said it was worth it

Reach for the top
And the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine

Jezebel Jezebel
Won't try to deny where she came from
You can see it in her pride
And the raven in her eyes
Try show her a better way
She'll say you don't know what you've been missing
And by the time she blinks you know she won't be listening

Reach for the top she said
And the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine

He don't care
Where he's been playing
He doesn't hear
A word she's saying
She's a fancy girl
So why's she staying
Hanging on for mr. wrong
He doesn't show her that he needs her
She doesn't know his love's a liar
She'a a fancy girl - got to be strong
Say so long - mr. wrong

Get out on your own girl
Show him how
You can be strong girl
You don't need him now
Run away, pretty girl
Say so long - mr. wrong

Run away
Bye bye

Good times they come and they go
Never going to know
What fate is going to blow
Your way just hope that it feels right
Sometimes it comes and it goes
You take it ever so slow
And then you lose it, and then it flows right to you

So we rely on the past
And special moments that last
Were they as tender
As we dare to remember
Such a fine time as this
What could equal the bliss
The thrill of the first kiss
It'll blow right to you

It's never as good as the first time
Never as good as the first time (never as good as the first time)

Good times they come and they go
Never going to know
It's like the weather
One day chicken next day feathers
The rose we remember
The thorns we forget
We'd love and leave
We never spend a minute on regret

It is a possibility
The more we know the less we see
Second time is not quite what it seemed
Natural as the way we came to be
The second time won't live up to the dream

It's never as good as the first time (never as good as the first time)
Never as good as the first time (never as good as the first time)

Mm buh duh duh duh buh buh bum
Buh buh duh duh duh bum bum
Mm buh duh duh duh buh buh bum
Buh buh duh duh duh bum bum

Natural as the way we came to be
Second time won't live up to the dream
As natural as the way we came to be
The second time is not quite what it seemed

It's never
As good as the first time
As the first time (never as good as the first time)
First time

Natural as the way we came to be
Second time won't live up to the dream
Natural as the way we came to be
Second time is not quite what it seemed

Never (it's never)
As good as the first time (as good)
As the first time
As good as the first time (first time)

Mm buh duh duh duh buh buh bum
Buh buh duh duh duh bum bum
Mm buh duh duh duh buh buh bum
Buh buh duh duh duh...

Blue is the color of the red sky
Will he, will he come home tonite
Blue is the color that she feels inside
Matador, I can't hide my fear anymore
Azul es el color del rojo cielo
volvera volvera a mi esta noche
Azul es el color que siente a dentro
matador no puedo esconder mi temor

Can she tame the beast that is her fear
puede domar la fiera que es su temor
Waiting for her matador
Will they bring the bad news

Blue is the color that she feels inside
Matador I can't hide my fear anymore

Azul es el color del rojo cielo
volvera, volvera a mi esta noche
Azul es el color que siente a dentro
Matador no puedo esconder mi temor

Granma came to see
Something she could not believe
How could her girl be
So naive
Tar baby, tar baby told
The secret she conceived

That big old smile of yours
Could turn the wind into a song
How could I have doubted
Honey it's with me you belong

Tar baby, tar baby
I love you so

Like a brand new blade
You cut into my life
Cut through two decades
Like a hot coal on ice

Tar baby, my tar baby
It maybe was meant to be
When I look at you
I can't believe my eyes

And with your magic
I think you just might charm the birds out of the sky

Tar baby, tar baby, tar baby
Came good out of grief

A golden thread inside of the web
That I got caught in
Oh, it's a lover's revenge, but out of the pain
Come the best things you see

You cut into my life You cut into my life (baby baby baby baby don't you know that) You cut into my life (I love you) You cut into my life

La la la la la ooh
You can turn the wind into a song
La la la la la baby baby baby
It's with me you belong

Maureen
It's hard to explain
I'm never going to see you again
And you'll never meet my new friends
Maureen, I miss you
I just can't explain
I'm never going to see you again
I wish you could meet my new friends

Walking along the subway listening to
Loving you is easy acapella
You were a souped-up car in that rent-a-go-kart town
And I miss you, Maureen

We're as thick as thieves

Maureen maureen
Remember when my mother said to me
Sade don't you come home to late
Till you're back I stay awake

And maureen
With the boys you could tell at a glance
You'd say he looks good
Let'd hope he can dance
Wicky wacky party to the..

Where are we going tonight
And what will you be wearing
Shone like a souped-up car in that rent-a-go-kart town
And I miss you maureen, I miss you girl

You were my best friend
I'm never going to see you again, maureen
And you'll never meet my new friends
You really were a pearl in my world, maureen

Maureen
It's hard to explain
You'll never call round to see me again
You'll never meet my new friends

Never meet my new friends
Never meet my new friends
Never meet my new friends
Repeat to fade

You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave down when your down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that
I'll do you right when your wrong
I-----ohhh, ohhh
If only you could see into me
oh, when your cold
I'll be there to hold you tight to me
When your on the outside baby and you can't get in
I will show you, your so much better than you know
When your lost, when your alone and you can't get back again
I will find you darling I'll bring you home
If you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes
and in no time you'll be fine
You think I'd leave your side baby
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave you down when your down on your kness
I wouldn't do that
I'll do you right when your wrong
I-----I, ohhhh, ohhh
If only you could see into me
Oh when your cold
I'll be there
To hold you tight to me
Oh when your alone
I'l be there by your side baby
Oh when your cold
I'll be there
To hold you tight to me
Oh when your alone
I'l be there by your side baby

[1] - Ooh baby, mm
When you hold me
Oh oh, when you hold me
The sound

Is it possible I could feel this cool
I could really love you the way I do
Is it possible I could feel this good
I could really love you the way I do

[2] - See me (Within the light)
Flowing (Take me to you)
Like the river to the sea
You come down (I'm in the light)
You cover (Pull me to you)
And the waves rush over me

I feel a love light rush over me
I feel the love turn to me
And then your love just creeps over me
Over me

[Repeat 2]
[Repeat 1]

[3] - And I won't let you go
I won't let you go
And I won't let you go
I won't let you go

[4] - Take up your love
Take up your love
Take up your love
And come to me
This love's not a liar
To cold, it's a fire
I'm on the run
And it's a comfort to me

[Repeat 4]
[Repeat 3]

I'm crying everyone's tears
And there inside our private war
I died the night before
And all of these remnants
of joy and disaster
What am I suppose to do
I want to cook you a soup
that warms your soul
But nothing would change
nothing would change at all
It's just a day
that brings it all about
Just another day
and nothing's any good
DJ's playing the same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder if this grief will
ever let me go
I feel like I am the king of sorrow
The king of sorrow
I suppose I could just walk away
Will I disappoint my future
if I stay
It's just a day
that brings it all about
Just another day
and nothing's any good
DJ's playing the same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder will this grief
ever be gone
Will it ever go
I'm the king of sorrow
The king of sorrow
I'm crying everyone's tears
I have already paid
for all my future sins
There's nothing anyone
Can say to take this away
It's just another day
and nothing's any good

I'm the king of sorrow
King of sorrow
I'm the king of sorrow
King of sorrow
of sorrow
King of sorrow
King of sorrow
King of sorrow

i see them gathered see
them on the shore
i turned to look once more
and he who knows me not takes me to the belly
of darkness

the tears run swift and hard and when they fall
even the comfort of a stone would be a gain
there was a time
when i thought
i would have to give up
but i'm thankful that i'm
strong as i am and i'll try to do
the best i can

tears will run swift and tears will come that fall like rain
i pray that it's swift though tears will fall as cold as pain

i pray to the almighty
let me not to him do
as he has unto me
teach my beloved children
who have been enslaved
to reach for the light continually

so many times i prayed
so many times i've prayed
for you
prayed for you
the tears run swift and hard and cold as pain
even the comfort of a stone would be a gain
had i not the strength and wisdom of a warrior
i would have to give up
but i'm thankful that i'm
strong as i am
and i'll try to do the best i can

tears will run swift and tears will come that fall like rain
i pray that it's swift though tears will fall as cold as pain

i pray to the almighty
let us not do as he has unto us
teach my beloved children
i've been a slave
but reach for the
light continually

wisdom is the flame
wisdom is the brave warrior who will carry us into the sun
i pray that it's swift though tears will come that fall like rain

so many times so many times

quietly while you were asleep
the moon and i were talking
i asked that she'd always keep you protected
she promised you her light that you so gracefully carry
you bring your light and shine like morning
and then the wind pulls the clouds across the moon
your light fills the darkest room
and i can see the miracle that keeps us from falling
she promised
all the sweetest gifts
that only the heavens
could bestow
you bring your light and shine like morning
and as you so gracefully give her light as long as you live
i will always remember
this moment

I saw a picture
how could you be so careless
how could you have done that
to us
and I write this letter
I send it all back to you
and every word you said
in there every word
oh oh
how could you have done that to us
you treated me like a stranger
and all the time I was loving you
all your slick moves they were once innocent moves
I wanted to look up to you
I really trusted you
and every word you said
in there every word
oh oh
how could you have done that to us

I was loving you like a child
all the time you were smiling the same smile
I was loving you like a child
I really trusted you
every word you said
every word you said
love is what the word was
every word you said
every word you said
love is what the word was
every word you said
every word you said
I was loving you like a child yeah
and all the time you were smiling the same smile
I was loving you like a child
I really trusted you
every word you said
every word you said
I send it back to you yeah
every word you said
every word you said

coming from where he did
he was turned away from
every door like joseph
to even the toughest among us
that would be too much
he didn't know what it was to be black
'til they gave him his change
but didn't want to touch his hand
to even the toughest among us
that would be too much
isn't it just enough
how hard it is to live
isn't it hard enough
just to make it through a day
the secret of their fear
and their suspicion
standing there looking like an angel
in his brown shoes
his short suit
his white shirt
and his cuffs a little frayed
coming from where he did
he was such a dignified child
to even the toughest among us
that would be too much
isn't it just enough
how hard it is to live
isn't it hard enough
just to make it through a day
coming from where he did
he was turned away from
every door like joseph
to even the toughest among us
that would be too much
he didn't know what it was to be black
'til they gave him his change
but didn't want to touch his hand
to even the toughest among us
that would be too much

I am in the wilderness
you are in the music in the man's car next to me
somewhere in my sadness
I know I won't fall apart
completely

when I need to be rescued
and I need a place to swim
I have a rock to cling to
in the storm
when no-one can hear
me calling
I have you I can sing to

and in all this
and in all my life

you are the lovers rock
the rock that I cling to
you're the one
the one I swim to in a storm

girl you are rich
even with nothing
you know tenderness comes from pain
it's amazing how you love
and love is kind
and love can give
and get no gain
it's down a rugged road you've come
though you had every reason you didn't come undone
somehow you made it to
the other side
you didn't suffer in vain
you forgive those who have trespassed against you
and you know tenderness comes from pain
it's amazing how you love
and love is kind
and love can give
and love needs no gain
it's down a rugged road you've come
though you had every reason you didn't come undone

that gets you through

I won't pretend that I intend to stop living
I won't pretend I'm good at forgiving
But I can't hate you
Although I have tried
I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
I won't pretend that I intend to stop living
I won't pretend I'm good at forgiving
But I can't hate you
Although I have tried
I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
Sitting here wasting my time
Would be like
Waiting for the sun to rise
It's all too clear things come and go
Sitting here waiting for you
Would be like waiting for winter
It's gonna be cold
There may even
Be snow


I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
Love is stronger
I still really love you
Love is stronger than pride

We'll never really learn the meaning of it all
What we have is strong and tender
So hold on
In the middle of the madness
When the time is running out and you're left alone
All I want is you to know that
It's strong still
Can't pull us apart
Nothing can come
Between us
Nothing can pull us apart
Can come
Between us


I always hope that you remember
What we have is strong and tender
In the middle of the madness
Hold on
So it truly is a good thing
And I always wanted you to know
There is always this
And this is everlasting
Hold on
It's about faith
It's about trust, yeah yeah

Haunt me
In my dreams
If you please
You're breath is with me now and always
It's like a breeze
So should you ever doubt me
If it's help that you need
Never dare to doubt me


And if you want to sleep
I'll be quiet
Like an angel
As quiet as your soul could be
If you only knew
You had a friend like me
So should you ever doubt me
If it's help that you need
Never dare to doubt me

Clean heart
Clean and sharp
Clean dream
Bad start
He loved his brother and his sister
Luke and tony called him mister
They made him feel much more
Like a man
He loved his daddy though he never told him
And he loved his mother
He loved
He loved her like an italian
Little jane said, you look so fine
So fine
Something in his smile
Made them feel like strangers
And then he straightened his belt
With a lover's touch
And he said I'm gonna bring home
The things that are out of your clutch
Seemed like the hottest night in summer
A heat that makes you feel like dying
Somewhere in the next block
There was a baby crying
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
And as the moon slid up over the restless streets
Sirens mocking and people stop to see
Their greedy eyes don't realise
He's someone else's son
Finger on the trigger for the years to come
Finger on the trigger for the years to come

Tell me the secrets of your soul
Give it up and let go
Give it up

I couldn't give you more if I tried
I give you my love
I give you everything I feel inside

I think I'd even die with you
Surrender your love
Surrender your love to me
Surrender your love
Surrender your love to me

Couldn't give you more if I tried
I give you it all

Surrender your love
Surrender your love to me
Surrender your love
Surrender your love to me
Give it up

You shed a shaddow on my life
Shed a shaddow on a love
Took the shelter out of my life
Took the shelter of a lie
I couldn't see it in your restless eyes
The truth I was hiding
The truth you could not disguise

But I never thought I'd see the day
I knew I'd need a miracle to make you stay
I knew
I needed
A miracle
And I never thought I'd see the day

You put a shaddow on a love
Took a shelter of a lie
Took the shelter out of my life

I wish you could shelter me
Shelter me now
I need a miracle
And I never thought I'd see the day

Beautiful.. perfect.. flawless.. debonaire

[Chorus: Charlie Wilson]
Where'd you get that silky skin?
And the colors those eyes come in?
Does the light come from within?
God made you, did he make the grin?
Wings are under all your clothes
You worth more than your weight in gold
Where did God put down your mole
Or were you only made for show?
Girl you're perrr-feeeect - when God made you
I wonder if he kept the mold, or are you just for show?
Girl you're perrr-feeeect - when I see you
it takes my mind to cloud nine, girl you're so fine, yeah - hey

Lovable, and yeah you're pursuable

You make me do what you want me to
Yeah, it's just like that

Coast to coast, L.A. to Chicago

When am I gonna make a living?
It's gonna take a while before I give in.
See the people fussing and theiving.
While the sharks are wheeling and dealing.
Gotta look up and tell yourself,

They'll waste your body and soul if you allow them to.
This is time to start believing in yourself.
Put the blame on no-one else.

If you give yourself a chance to prove.
We're hungry but we won't give in.

Gotta find out what I meant to you.
You're the one who broke my heart.
When I met you boy, you were as sweet as cherry pie.
That smiling eye you were as wild as Friday night.
I shoul

Sally, you opened out your arms to all those young men.
And girl you had room,
for every one of them.
You're the only girl.
Who are the only girl on Barry and Third
Sure as hell,
you're the only one who cares.
So put your hands together for Sally.
She saved all those young men.
Put your hands together for Sally.
She the one who cared for them.
She's doing our dirty work.
She's the only one who can.
Doing our dirty work, thirsty world,
one angry day in New York.
Take a look at Dave he was once seventeen,
Zoot suit and shiny shoes.
He ran around town and threw his metholated laughter.
Most of his memories drowned.
But he remembers what his mother used to shout.
She used to shout,
"One day, surely son,
the street are gonna tire you out."
So put your hands together for Sally.
She's the one who cared for him.
Put your hands together for Sally.
She was there when his luck was running thin.
She's doing our dirty work.
She's the only one who can.
Doing our dirty work, thirsty world,
one angry day in New York.
Tommy had a wife and family,
but the needle came between the love and the hard times.
Thank God for Sally,
she was there through the misery.
Just a place to lay his head.
Just about better off than dead.
She's doing our dirty work.
She's the only one who can.
Doing our dirty work, thirsty world,
one angry day...
Vince, came up from the country.
Couldn't even find himself a room.
Thinking about his babies.
They're further away than the moon.
With no money but his pride in his pocket.
There's really no way he can go home.
There's a picture of his woman in his locket.
Most of all he doesn't want to be alone.
So put your hands together for Sally.
She's the one who cared for him.
Put your hands together for Sally.
She was there when his luck was running thin.
She's doing our dirty work.
She's the only one who can.
Doing our dirty work, thirsty world,
one angry day in New York.

I know that lately

I've always said
that if I could ever help you
I would

I'm here to wipe away the tears
I will be your friend
until the end of time

When your falling apart
I pick up each piece
and build a wall around your dream
The punches to you heart
melt away when you
never thought they'd heal
So trust in me
These are the words
I tattoo on you
If Hercules can't pick you up now
then I really am true
I will be your friend

I will be your friend
I'm here to make you smile

feeling low

The punches to you heart

Take my hand
When you're falling apart
You've got to understand

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why.
Why can't we live together?
Tell me why, tell me why.
Why can't we live together?
Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we be together?
No more war, no more war, no more war...
Just a little peace.
No more war, no more war.
All we want is some peace in this world.
Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we be together?


No matter, no matter what colour.
You are still my brother.

I could see through all of your
lies But still i miss you
He takes her love
but it doesn't feel like mine
He tastes her kiss
her kisses are not wine
they're not mine
He takes but surely
she can't give what i'm feeling now
She takes but surely
she doesn't know how
Is it a crime Is it a crime
That i still want you
And i want you to want me too
My love is wider
wider than victoria lake
My love is taller

It divides and it jumps and
it ripples like the deepest ocean
I can't give you more than that

That i still want you
And i want you to want me too

My love is wider than victoria lake

You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo
You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt like this before
There's a quiet storm
That is you

And it never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo
(Sometimes I think you're just too good for me)
You give me the sweetest taboo
That's why I'm in love with you
You give me the sweetest taboo
Sometimes I think you're just too good for me
I'd do anything for you, I'd stand out in the rain
Anything you want me to do, don't let it slip away

And I never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo
You give me the sweetest taboo
That's why I'm in love with you

Will you keep on, will you keep on
Bringing out the best in me

I could aim
But I could not fire
Got a bullet to spare
To kill my desire
Who's calling the shots
One of us must make the Peace
To have or to have not
The fire has got to cease
I'm loaded
Don't know where to point this thing
It's a sin
How we hit where it hurts
Who's calling the shots
One of us must end this masquerade
To have or to have not
Let's heal the wounds that we've made
It'a a war of the heart (it's a war of the heart)
It's a war of the heart
Got a bullet to space, don't wanna send it your way
Who's calling the shots

You're not the man who gave me everything
I've ever wanted

You're not the man
Who stepped inside my life
And haunted every, every day

You're not the man
Who said he'd never leave
Couldn't breathe
And could not sleep without me

That was someone who you left behind
A long time ago

You're not the man
Who would bleed for me
Never shed a tear
You're not the one
Said he'd always be near

You're not the man
Who threw me a lifeline
And you're not the man
I am so proud to call mine


And you're not the one
Who said he'd never leave
The one who made me believe in me
That was someone who could do no wrong
But you lost him

You're not the man
Who would bleed for me
But never shed a tear
You're not the one
Who said he'd always, always, always be here
Said he'd always, always be near

But don't get me wrong
Although it seems sad
It's not all bad
You see
I'm not the little girl I used to be

You're not the man
Not the one
Who said he'd always, always, always be near

He was everything you see
He made me believe in me
Said he'd always, always, always be here

Jezebel
wasn't born
with a silver spoon in her mouth
She probably had
less than every one of us
But when she knew
how to walk she knew
How to bring the house down
Can't blame her for her beauty
She wins with her hands down
Jezebel
what a belle
Looks like a princess in
her new dress
How did you get that
Do you really want to know she said
It would seem she's on her way
It's more more than just a dream
She put on her stockings and shoes
Had nothing to lose
she said it was worth it
Reach for the top
And the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine

Jezebel Jezebel
Won't try to deny
where she came from
You can see it in her pride
And the raven in her eyes
Try show her a better way
She'll say you don't know
what you've been missing
And by the time she blinks
you know she won't be listening
Reach for the top she said
And the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine

He don't care
Where he's been playing
He doesn't hear
A word she's saying
She's a fancy girl
So why's she staying
Hanging on for mr. wrong
He doesn't show her that he needs her
She doesn't know his love's a liar
She'a a fancy girl - got to be strong
Say so long - mr. wrong
Get out on your own girl
Show him how
You can be strong girl
You don't need him now
Run away, pretty girl
Say so long - mr. wrong
Run away
Bye bye

Never As Good As The First Time-
good times they come and they go
never going to know
what fate is going to blow
your way just hope that it feels right
sometimes it comes and it goes
you take it ever so slow
and then you lose it, then it flows right to you
so we rely on the past
special moments that last
were they as tender as we dare to remember
such a fine time as this
what could equal the bliss
the thrill of the first kiss
it'll blow right to you
it's never as good as the first time
never as good as the first time
good times they come and they go
never going to know
it's like the weather
one day chicken next day feathers
the rose we remember
the thorns we forget
we'd love and leave
we never spend a minute on regret
it is a possibility
the more we know the less we see
second time, second time is not quite what it seems
natural as the way we came to be
second time won't live up to the dream
it's never as good as the first time
never as good as the first time
natural as the way we came to be
second time won't live up to the dream
natural as the way we came to be
second time is not quite what it seemed
it's never
as good as the first time
as the first time (never as good as the first time)
the first time
natural as the way we came to be
second time won't live up to the dream
natural as the way we came to be
second time is not quite what it seemed
it's never
as good as the first time
as the first time (never as good as the first time)
the first time

Blue is the color of the red sky
Will he, will he come home tonite
Blue is the color that she feels inside
Matador, I can't hide my fear anymore
Azul es el color del rojo cielo
volvera volvera a mi esta noche
Azul es el color que siente a dentro
matador no puedo esconder mi temor
Can she tame the beast that is her fear
puede domar la fiera que es su temor
Waiting for her matador
Will they bring the bad news
Blue is the color that she feels inside
Matador I can't hide my fear anymore
Azul es el color del rojo cielo
volvera, volvera a mi esta noche
Azul es el color que siente a dentro
Matador no puedo esconder mi temor

Granma came to see
Something she could not believe
How could her girl be
So naive
Tar baby, tar baby told
The secret she conceived
That big old smile of yours
Could turn the wind into a song
How could I have doubted
Honey it's with me you belong
Tar baby, tar baby
I love you so
Like a brand new blade
You cut into my life
Cut through two decades
Like a hot coal on ice
Tar baby, my tar baby
It maybe was meant to be
When I look at you
I can't believe my eyes
And with your magic
I think you just might charm the birds out of the sky
Tar baby, tar baby, tar baby
Came good out of grief
A golden thread inside of the web
That I got caught in
Oh, it's a lover's revenge, but out of the pain
Come the best things you see
You cut into my life You cut into my life (baby baby baby baby don't you know that) You cut into my life (I love you) You cut into my life
La la la la la ooh
You can turn the wind into a song
La la la la la baby baby baby
It's with me you belong

Maureen
It's hard to explain
I'm never going to see you again
And you'll never meet my new friends
Maureen, I miss you
I just can't explain
I'm never going to see you again
I wish you could meet my new friends
Walking along the subway listening to
Loving you is easy acapella
You were a souped-up car in that rent-a-go-kart town
And I miss you, Maureen
We're as thick as thieves
Maureen maureen
Remember when my mother said to me
Sade don't you come home to late
Till you're back I stay awake
And maureen
With the boys you could tell at a glance
You'd say he looks good
Let'd hope he can dance
Wicky wacky party to the..
Where are we going tonight
And what will you be wearing
Shone like a souped-up car in that rent-a-go-kart town
And I miss you maureen, I miss you girl
You were my best friend
I'm never going to see you again, maureen
And you'll never meet my new friends
You really were a pearl in my world, maureen
Maureen
It's hard to explain
You'll never call round to see me again
You'll never meet my new friends
Never meet my new friends
Never meet my new friends
Never meet my new friends
to fade

He told me sweet lies of sweet love
Heavy with the burden of the truth
And he spoke of his dreams
Broken by the burden
Broken by the burden of his youth
Fourteen years he said
I couldn't look into the sun
She saw him laying at the end of my gun
Hungrey for life
And thirsty for the distant river
I remember his hands
And the way the mountains looked
The light shot diamonds from his eyes
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
Like the scar of age
Written all over my face
The war is still raging inside of me
I still feel the chill
As i reveal my shame to you
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo

There is a woman in somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There's a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive
That's how she's dying
She's dying to survive
Don't know what she's made of
I would like to be that brave
She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives a life she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes

Hurts like brand-new shoes

There is a woman in somalia
The sun gives her no mercy
The same sky we lay under
Burns her to the bone
Long as afternoon shaddows
It's gonna take her to get home
Each grain carefully wrapped up
Pearls for her little girl

Hallelujah
Hallelujah

She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives a life she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes

i was so in love with you
you rarely see a love that true
wasn't that enough for you
wasn't that enough for you

i would climb a mountain
i wouldn't want to see you fall
rock climb for you
and give you a reason for it all

you kept on thinking
you were the only one
too busy thinking
love is a gun

hit me like a slow bullet
like a slow bullet
it took me some time to realise it

you kept on thinking
you were the only one
too busy thinking
love is a gun

i know the end before
the story's been told
it's not that complicated
but you're gonna need a bullet proof soul

you kept on thinking

you never warned me let me free
it's not that complicated
but you're gonna need a bullet proof soul
think you got it but you got all the trouble you need
i came in like a lamb
but i intend to leave like a lion

it hit me like a slow bullet
it hit me like a slow bullet

Like the scar of age
Written all over my face
The war is still raging inside of me
I still feel the chill
As I reveal my shame to you
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo

There must have been an angel by my side
Something heavenly led me to you
Look at the sky
It's the colour of love
There must have been an angel by my side
Something heavenly came down from above
He led me to you
He led me to you

He built a bridge to your heart
All the way
How many tons of love inside
I can't say

When I was led to you
I knew you were the one for me
I swear the whole world could feel my heartbeat
When I lay eyes on you
Ay ay ay
You wrapped me up in
The colour of love

You gave me the kiss of life
Kiss of life
You gave me the kiss that's like
The kiss of life

Wasn't it clear from the start
Look the sky is full of love
Yeah the sky is full of love

He built a bridge to your heart
All the way
How many tons of love inside
I can't say

You gave me the kiss of life

You're ruling the way that I move
And I breathe your air
You only can rescue me
This is my prayer

If you were mine
If you were mine
I wouldn't want to go to heaven

I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
You're ruling the way that I move
You take my air

You show me how deep love can be

You're ruling the way that I move
And I breathe your air
You only can rescue me
This is my prayer

I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running

Won't run away

There is a woman in Somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There's a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive
This is how she's dying
She's dying to survive
Don't know what she's made of
I would like to be that brave

She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives a life she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes

Hurts like brand-new shoes

There is a woman in Somalia
The sun gives her no mercy
The same sky we lay under
Burns her to the bone
Long as afternoon shadows
It's gonna take her to get home
Each grain carefully wrapped up
Pearls for her little girl

Hallelujah
Hallelujah

She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives in a world she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes
Hurts like brand-new shoes

i was so in love with you
you rarely see a love that true
wasn't that enough for you

like a slow bullet
it took me some time to realise it

One day we're gonna wake up
And the ghetto's all around
All over my friend
Have you ever
seen a man break down
Do you know how that feels
To walk the streets
with your head held high
Why why why
Oh Lord have mercy
Did you ever see a man break down
There's nothing sacred
Breathing hatred
We have to face it
No one can take it
And feel no pain
Ooh did you ever
see a man break down

It may come, it may come as some surprise
but I miss you
I could see through all of your lies
but still I miss you
he takes her love, but it doesn't feel like mine
he tastes her kiss, her kisses are not wine, they're not mine

he takes, but surely she can't give what I'm feeling now
she takes, but surely she doesn't know how

Is it a crime
Is it a crime
that I still want you
and I want you to want me too

My love is wider, wider than Victoria Lake
My love is taller, taller than the empire state

It divides and it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean
I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back

Is it a crime
Is it a crime
that I still want you
and I want you to want me too

My love wider than Victoria Lake
taller than the empire state

It dives and it jumps
I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back

Is it a crime
Is it a crime
that I still want you
and I want you to want me too

If I tell you
If I tell you now
Will you keep on
Will you keep on loving me
If I tell you
If I tell you how I feel
Will you keep bringing out the best in me
You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo
You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt like this before
There's a quiet storm
That is you
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo
(Sometimes I think you're just too good for me)
You give me the sweetest taboo
That's why I'm in love with you
You give me the sweetest taboo
Sometimes I think you're just too good for me
I'd do anything for you, I'd stand out in the rain
Anything you want me to do, don't let it slip away
There's a quiet storm
And it never felt like this before
There'a a quiet storm
I think it's you
There'a a quiet storm
And I never felt this hot before
Giving me something that's taboo
You give me the sweetest taboo
That's why I'm in love with you
You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me
You've got the biggest heart
Sometimes I think you're just too good for me
Every day is Christmas, and every night is new years eve
Will you keep on loving me
Will you keep on, will you keep on
Bringing out the best in me

I could aim
But I could not fire
Got a bullet to spare
To kill my desire
Who's calling the shots
One of us must make the Peace
To have or to have not
The fire has got to cease
I'm loaded
Don't know where to point this thing
It's a sin
How we hit where it hurts
Who's calling the shots
One of us must end this masquerade
To have or to have not
Let's heal the wounds that we've made
It'a a war of the heart (it's a war of the heart)
It's a war of the heart
Got a bullet to space, don't wanna send it your way
Who's calling the shots
One of us, must make the peace
To have or to have not
The fire has got to cease
It'a a war of the heart (it's a war of the heart)
It's a war of the heart

Gotta end this masquerade
Got to heal the wounds that we've made

You're not the man who gave me everything
I've ever wanted
You're not the man
Who stepped inside my life
And haunted every, every day
You're not the man
Who said he'd never leave
Couldn't breathe
And could not sleep without me
This was someone who you left behind
A long time ago
You're not the man
Who would bleed for me
But never shed a tear
You're not the one
Said he'd always be near
You're not the man
Who threw me a lifeline
And you're not the man
I am so proud to call mine
And you're not the one
Who said he'd never leave
The one who made me believe in me
That was someone who could do no wrong
But you lost him
You're not the man
Who would bleed for me
But never shed a tear
You're not the one
Who said he'd always, always, always be here
said he'd always always be near
But don't get me wrong
Although it seems sad
It's not all bad
You see
I'm not the little girl I use to be
You're not the man
Not the one
Who said he'd always, always, always be near
He was everything you see
He made me believe in me
Said he'd alway always always be here

Jezebel wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth
She probably had less than every one of us
But when she knew how to walk she knew
how to bring the house down
Can't blame her for her beauty
She wins with her hands down

Jezebel, what a belle
Looks like a princess in her new dress
How did you get that?
Do you really want to know she said
It would seem she's on her way
It's more, more than just a dream
She put on her stockings and shoes
had nothing to lose - she said it was worth it

Reach for the top
and the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine

Jezebel, Jezebel
won't try to deny where she came from
You can see it in her pride
and the raven in her eyes
Try show her a better way
she'll say you don't know what you've been missing
and by the time she blinks you know she won't be listening

Reach for the top she said
and the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine

He don't care
Where he's been playing
He doesn't hear
A word she's saying
She's a fancy girl
So why's she staying
Hanging on for mr. wrong
He doesn't show her that he needs her
She doesn't know his love's a liar
She'a a fancy girl - got to be strong
Say so long - mr. wrong
Get out on your own girl
Show him how
You can be strong girl
You don't need him now
Run away, pretty girl
Say so long - mr. wrong
Run away
Bye bye
