Sheena Easton

(Cry, baby)
I heard a cry at night, I heard him slam the door
There was a screech of tyres, but he'll be back for sure
Now through my apartment wall, I can hear her sweet tears startin' to fall
Chorus:
So cry, baby, wash out your heart
Hang your life out to dry and make a new start
Then came a telephone ring, it was a logical thing
I left it for a while, I let her hang up and redial
Then I picked up the telephone, 'n I said "Don't worry, honey
No no no, no no no, you're not alone"
chorus
It was a tale unwound, I'd heard it all before
And nothin' I could say would ever ease her pain
Still I picked up the telephone, 'n I said "Don't worry, honey
No no no, no no no, no no no, no no no, you're not alone"
chorus repeats out
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I was young, people used to say
Someday the right one will come your way
Could be tomorrow, could be today
But when he does, you'll know it right away, till then I'll

Take my time, lookin' for the right one, I need a lover that stays around
I'm gonna take my time, lookin' for the right one
I need somebody to tie me down

And so I waited patiently, will it be like my fantasy
The only problem I can't foresee, will I find him or will he find me
And if he does, will he understand, that I've the future already planned
And I'll do everything that I can
Won't take no chances, won't show my hand, I'm gonna

Oooh, I need a lover, oooh, to tie me down, oooh, I need a lover around
(Instrumental break)
I'm gonna....

Time has come to say goodbye to broken memories
Locked inside like prisoners, in a place that no one sees

Chorus:
Im a prisoner, go on and lock myself away
Just a prisoner, lonely, lonely
Im a prisoner, just when you think love will stay
It walks right out on you, out on you (oooh)

Stayed up late with a friend of mine, sodden comfort till dawn
Talked about the pain of love, shouldve known from the start you were wrong

chorus

The sky is grey, its rainin, like the storm in my heart
There aint no use explainin, cause Im leavin, leavin, leavin, gone

(Instrumental break)

Tired blood runs through my veins, but I cant get no sleep
Locked my heart in these prison walls, this place I got to leave

chorus repeats 2x

(Im a prisoner) Oh, you gotta let me go
(Just a prisoner) Just cant take no more (lonely, lonely)
(Im a prisoner) Oh, you gotta let me leave
(Walks right out on you) Out on you

chorus to fade

He wakes and says hello, turns on the breakfast show
She fixes coffee while he takes a shower
Hey that was great, he said, I wish we could stay in bed
But I got to be at work in less than an hour
She manages a smile as he walks out the door
She's a modern girl who's been though this lumber before

She don't build her world 'round no single man
But she's gettin' by, doin' what she can
She is free to be, what she wants to be
'N all what she wants to be, is a modern girl
Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na,
she's a modern girl

It looks like rain again, she takes a train again
She's on her way again through London town
Where she keeps a tangerine, flicks through a magazine
Until it's time to leave her dreams on the underground
She walks to the office like everyone else
An independent lady, takin' care of herself

She don't build her world 'round no single man
But she's gettin' by, doin' what she can
She is free to be, what she wants to be
'N all what she wants to be, is a modern girl
Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na,
she's a modern girl

(Instrumental break)

She's been dreaming 'bout it all day long
As soon as she gets home, it's him on the telephone
He asks her to dinner, she says I'm not free
Tonight I'm going to stay at home and watch my TV

I don't build my world 'round no single man
But I'm gettin' by, doin' what I can
I am free to be, what I want to be
'N all what I want to be, is a modern girl

Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na,
she's a modern girl
Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na,
she's a modern girl
(repeats out)

You must be happy, you look wonderful, never seen you look so fine
Ive heard all about her, youre mad about her
You talk about her all the time

You say you love her, shes given you everything youll ever need
Though I still adore you, Im happy for you
I know that its too late for me

Chorus:
The only love I ever wanted is gone forever, I can never put my world together
So much in love, I know youll never come back to me
Whoa, love doesnt come to you every minute
If you hold back, someone else will win it
If you gotta love, put your heart right in it, never set it free

So think it over, and youll understand
Im not tryin to change your mind
Know shell never love you the way I love you
Boy dont miss your chance this time

chorus

(Instrumental break)

chorus repeats out

(Voice on the radio, voice on the radio
Voice on the radio, voice on the radio)

Well late a lonely evening, the sound on the radio
The musics not my style, so I move the dial
Pick up a station that I didnt know
His voice was so appealin, caught me with his sweet talkin lines
As his yells went by, I couldve known the guy
I was on his wave length and he was on mine

A voice on the radio, keeps turnin me on
A voice on the radio, keeps turnin me on

Next day I wrote a letter, care of his duty oh
I said that he was the best, asked if he played requests
Sent him my number and a recent photo
Not only got a mention, he phoned me to say hello
But before I had time to lay my heart on the line
The song was over and he had to go

Chorus:
A voice on the radio, keeps turnin me on
A voice on the radio, talkin to me every evening
A voice on the radio, keeps turnin me on
A voice on the radio, is it love or am I only dreamin

I guess its now or never, to make a person to person call
If he forgets me forever, Im just another girl on a photograph on his wall
Ill make a person to person call

(Instrumental break)

chorus repeats out

I'm a one man woman, that's forever
So open your eyes, we can't stay together
I'd rather say from the start, before we take it too far
I'm a one man woman, I'm a one man woman, I'm a one man woman, oohoo
I'm a one man woman, and you want me to
Be yours

Hotel room survival, room without a view
Bedside [tangle briber?], throws a book at you
You can't make your mind up, if you're angry or you're dumb
But you know the night before, has left you cold and numb
You leave your bags unopened, you feel a thousand

I saw an old friend of ours today
she asked about you
I didn't quite know what to say
heard you've been making the rounds
'round here
while I've been trying to make tears disappear

Now I'm almost over you
I've almost shook these blues
so when you come back around
after painting the town,
you'll see I'm almost over you

You're such a sly one with your cold, cold heart
maybe leaving came easy
but it tore me apart
time heals all wounds,
they say and I should know
'cause it seems like forever
but I'm letting you go

Now I'm almost over you
I've almost shook these blues
so when you come back around
after painting the town,
you'll see I'm almost over you

I can forgive you and soon I'll forget
all those shattered dreams
although you've left me with nothing
to show full of misery

Now I'm almost over you
I've almost shook these blues
so when you come back around
after painting the town,
you'll see I'm almost over you

The door is closed again, it's closed on me
Here I am alone again, there's not a soul to see
I'm on my own now, it didn't turn out right
My bed is cold as ice, and you're out there in the night

Oooh, can't get you off my mind
Oooh, you know my heart is on the line and it happens every time

Chorus:
Don't leave me this way, baby, don't leave me this way, oh no
I need you more than I could ever say, do you have to stay away so long

I thought we had it all, there was something there
But I made my first mistake when I thought you'd care

Oooh, can't get you off my mind
Oooh, you know my heart is on the line and it happens every time

chorus

(Solo)

Don't leave me this way, baby, don't leave me this way, oh no
Don't leave me this way, baby, don't leave me this way, oh no

chorus repeats out...

Ah-ah, ah-ah

I'm gon

(I've) hung around with big shots
never knew love was in the
sights
I guess I missed the target
caught up in a different line
of fire
but I know since I've been aiming
for the sweetness in your soul
your name is on the bullet
and it's gettin' ready to explode
there's be a change inside
my life
and just wanna let you know



I've got my finger on the trigger
love is in control
I've got my finger on the trigger
I ain't lettin' go

Bass line:
Baby, let's have some fun
a won't cha be my, my
number one

Mama used to tell me
girl, you better load your gun
up right
she said ya, ya gotta come
out smokin'
hit it with your best shot
every time
Well I didn't understand her
'til you walked right into range
I saw your love at twenty paces
and I knew I'd won the game
you better raise your heart
up high
or love will blow you right away




Leave off the safety catch
there ain't no risk
we're gonna have some fun
I've got cha, love's begun
so stay with me
until the mornin' sun
you're superbullet number one

Bass line:
Baby, let's have some fun
a won't cha be my, my
number one

There's been a change inside
my life
and I just wanna let you know

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you..

And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember..

Keep smiling keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you..

And then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my hearts
And then if you can remember..

Keep smiling keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smiling keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smiling keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, I
Never can say goodbye
Ev'ry time I think I've had enough
And start headingfor the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right to the core
It says turn around you fool
You know you love him more and more
Tell me why
Tell me why is it so
Yhat I don't wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye, boy
I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, no, no
I never can say goodbye
I keep thinkin' that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feelin'
There's that anguish, there's that doubt
It's that same old dizzy hang up
Can't do with you or without
Tell me why

Doesn't take much to make me happy
And make me smile with glee
Never never will I feel discouraged
'Cause our love's no mystery
Demonstrating love and affection
That you give so openly
I like the way you make me feel about you, baby
Want the whole wide world to see

Oh oh you've got the best of my love
Oh oh you've got the best of my love
Oh oh you've got the best of my love
Oh oh you've got the best of my love

Flowing in and out of changes
The kind that come around each day
My life has a better meaning
Love has kissed me in a beautiful way
Holding hands ain't everybody's thing
But with me it plants the seed
In my heart forever growing
The kind of love I know you need

Oh oh you've got the best of my love
Oh oh you've got the best of my love
Oh oh you've got the best of my love
Oh oh you've got the best of my love

I'm wiser now
I'm not the foolish girl you used to know
So long ago
I'm stronger now
I've learned from my mistakes which way to go
And I should know
I put myself aside to do it your way
But now I need to do it all alone

And I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what I'll keep it real you know
Time for me to do it on my own
Yeah yeah, mmm, yeah yeah

It's over now
I can't go back to living through your eyes
Too many lines
And if you don't know by now
I can't go back to being someone else
Not anymore
I never had a chance to do things my way
So now it's time for me to take control

And I am not afraid to try it on my own
I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what I'm gonna keep it real you know
Time for me to do it

Oh I start again go back to one
I'm running things my way
Can't stop me now, I've just begun
Don't even think about it
There ain't no way about it
I'm taking names, the ones of mine
Yes I'm gonna take my turn
It's time for me to finally stand alone, stand alone

I am not afraid to try it on my own
And I don't care if I'm right or wrong
I'll live my life the way I feel
No matter what I'm gonna keep it real you know
It's time for me to do it
See I'm not afraid

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived.
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The thought of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak.
But if you feel like I feel.
then let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.



I love you baby, and if it's quite all right,
I need you baby to warm my lonely night.
I love you baby. Trust in me when I say:
I love you baby, don't let me down, I pray.
I love you baby, now that I found you.
Stay. And let me love you, baby. Let me love you ...



You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived.
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.



I love you baby, and if it's quite allright,
I need you baby to warm the lonely night.
I love you baby. Trust in me when I say:
I love you baby, don't bring me down, I pray.
I love you baby, now that I found you. Stay.
And let me love you, baby. Let me love you ...
I love you baby, and if it's quite allright...

Let's get together and do
What comes naturally

I've been holding back my love
For such a long time
Nobody's come along that
I would want to call mine

My phone's been ringing but
My heart, it just wont answer
I can't pretend cause
It's love I'm after

(I've been looking)
I was not prepared for
What I saw in your eyes
I saw something I've been
Waiting for a long time

(Let's get together)
We just met but I know
That you're no stranger
I can tell that
My heart's in danger

I've been looking for you
You've been looking for me
Let's get together and
Do what comes naturally
There's a time to be wild
There's a time to be free
Let's get together and
Do what comes naturally

I could play hard to get
But what good would that do me
You'd look into my eyes and
You would see right through me

This is a powerful feeling
That we're feeling
I can't deny
It's my heart you're stealing

(I've been looking)
I want to tell you now
That I am not afraid
I'll let the walls come down
Tonight I'm feeling brave

(Let's get together)
The risk is worth
Any chance that I'm taking
This could turn out to be
Love we're making

I've been looking for you
You've been looking for me
Let's get together and
Do what comes naturally
There's a time to be wild
There's a time to be free
Let's get together and
Do what comes naturally

I've been looking for you
You've been looking for me
Let's get together and
Do what comes naturally
There's a time to be wild
There's a time to be free
Let's get together and
Do what comes naturally

Oh, oh, baby
Set your love free
Falling in love
Should come naturally

Get together and
Do what comes naturally
Get together and
Do what comes naturally

Crazy, crazy, it's getting kind of wild
Is that a yes I'm seeing in your smile
I don't know you, but I feel we're connected
One look from you and baby I'm affected

I can tell that you're reading my thoughts
But let me tell you now I'm not afraid of getting caught
The risk is worth any chance we're takin'
'Cause this could turn out to be love we're makin'

I've been looking for you
You've been looking for me
Let's get together and
Do what comes naturally
There's a time to be wild
There's a time to be free
Let's get together and
Do what comes naturally

I've been looking for you
I've been looking for you
You've been looking for me
You've been looking for me

Baby, set your love free
Set your love free
Let's get together and
Do what comes naturally

I've been looking for you
You've been looking for me
Let's get together and
Do what comes naturally
There's a time to be wild
There's a time to be free
Let's get together and
Do what comes naturally

I've been looking for you
You've been looking for me
Let's get together and
Do what comes naturally
There's a time to be wild
There's a time to be free
Let's get together and
Do what comes naturally

Fever, it's coming down
And I feel it when you come around
I try my best just to keep my cool
So I don't come off looking like the fool
My heart is in my knees
You can't imagine what you do to me

Chorus:
I'm in a state
A manic panic
I can't relate
My body starts to feeling frantic
I'm acting like a total addict
I'm in a state
A state of manic panic

Passion, just can't ignore
And it happens
When you hit the door
I feel a heat
It's such a rush
And there ain't nothin' that I like so much
Don't know just what to do
You can't imagine what you put me through

(repeat chorus)

I'm in a state of manic panic
When I get this way
Ain't nothing ever copesthaetic
Going insane is automatic
I'm in a state
Said give me a break
Somebody gimme a breakdown

I try my best just to keep my cool
So I don't come off looking like a fool
My heart is in my knees
You can't imagine what you do to me

(repeat chorus to fade)

For your eyes only
Can see me through the night
For your eyes only
I never need to hide

You can see so much in me
So much in me that's new
I never felt
Until I looked at you

For your eyes only
Only for you
You'll see what no one else can see
Now I'm breaking free

For your eyes only
Only for you
The love I know you need in me
The fantasy you've freed in me

Only for you
Only for you

For your eyes only
The nights are never cold
You really know me
That's all I need to know

Maybe I'm an open book
Because I know you're mine
But you won't need
To read between the lines

For your eyes only
Only for you
You see what no one else can see
Now I'm breaking free

For your eyes only
Only for you
The passions that collide in me
The wild abandoned side of me

Only for you
For your eyes only

No way of knowin' where we're goin'
No way of tellin' what we've got
Love is attraction, calls for action like it or not
We're no one-nighter, we're much righter
I taste tomorrow in your kiss
But I can't sell you, I won't tell you
That we can't miss, I'll just say this

So far so good
We've been movin' right along just like we should
So far so good
If it isn't love it's still in the neighborhood
Knock on wood baby, so far so good

I tell you one thing, we got something
Somethin' that's comin' from the heart
If we don't know it
I just know it could be a start
You take your chances with romances
Nobody gets a guarantee
We're much better than
I ever thought we could be
So let's just see

So far so good
We've been movin' right along just like we should
So far so good
If it isn't love it's still in the neighborhood
Knock on wood baby, so far so good

I'm not pullin' any punches
I'm not handin' you a line
I'm just telling you my hunch
Is all we need is a touch more time

Morning Train (Nine to Five)
by Sheena Easton


I wake up every mornin`, I stumble out of bed
Stretchin` and yawnin`, another day ahead
It seems to last forever, and time goes slowly by
Till babe and me`s together, then it starts to fly
`Cause the moment that he`s with me
time can take a flight
The moment that he`s with me, everything`s alright
Night time is the right time, we make love
Then it`s his and my time, we take off
My baby takes the morning train
he works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
to find me waitin` for him
My baby takes the morning train
he works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
to find me waitin` for him
He takes me to a movie, or to a restaurant, to go
Slow dancing, anything I want
Only when he`s with me, I catch light
Only when he gives me, makes me feel alright
My baby takes the morning train
he works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
to find me waitin` for him
All day I think of him
dreamin` of him constantly
I`m crazy mad for him, and he`s crazy mad for me
When he steps off that train
I`m makin` a fool, a fight
Work all day to earn his pay
so we can play all night
My baby takes the morning train
he works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
to find me waitin` for him
He`s always on that morning train
He works so hard
to find me waiting for him
ooh~~ waiting waiting~

I know it's late,
I know you're weary
I know your plans
Don't include me
Still here we are,
both of us lonely
Longing for shelter
from all that we see
Why should we worry,
No one will care girl
Look at the stars
so far away
We've got tonight,
who needs tomorrow
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay

Deep in my soul
I've been so lonely
All of my hopes
fading away
I've longed for love
like everyone else does
I know I'll keep
searching even after today

So there it is girl,
I've said it all now
And here we are babe,
what do you say
We've got tonight,
who needs tomorrow
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay
I know it's late,
I know you're weary
I know your plans
Don't include me
Still here we are,
both of us lonely
Both of us lonely
We've got tonight,
who needs tomorrow
Let's make it last,
let's find a way
Turn out the light,
come take my hand now
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay
