She's getting older
Yeah, she's getting wise But a change has changed the girl Gone's the sparkle from her eyes She wants to be a good mother So she'll do the best she can But what about the other What about the man Well it's cold to leave a woman With family on her own It's chill factor To the bone Resignation In her sighs Is a sorry indication Of how time Can brutalise Take away the hope And the will will follow Take away the faith And goodbye tomorrow Well it's cold to leave a woman With family on her own It's chill factor To the bone She had her dreams too But how can she pursue Her ambitions, be they great or small You took her wings and flew But remember when you're through Your rise was due To somebody else's fall When the hard part's over And the kids are almost grown You'll be their big hero Whenever you make it home Shower them with presents Things she could never buy Delight them with your stories About the great big, great big world outside But dig - It's cold to leave a woman With family on her own It's chill factor Chill factor To the bone |

Don't get me wrong
if I'm looking kinda dazzled I see neon lights whenever you walk by don't get me wrong if you say hello and I take a ride your sea of innocence is playing havoc with my tide don't get me wrong if I'm acting sorta distracted I'm thinking about the fireworks that go off when you smile don't get me wrong if I act like I'm unaffected I'm only off to wander across a moolit night once a while two people meet suddenly for no reason they pas on the street suddenly thunder and showers everywhere who can explain the thunder and rain but there's something in the air don't get me wrong if I come and go like fashion i might be great tomorrow but hopeless yesterday don't get me wrong if i fall in the mode of fashion it might be unbelievable but let's not say so long it might just be fantastic don't get me wrong |

Let me inside you
Into your room I've heard it's lined With the things you don't show Lay me beside you Down on the floor I've been your lover From the womb to the tomb I dress as your daughter When the moon becomes round You be my mother When everything's gone And she will always carry on Something is lost But something is found They will keep on speaking her name Somethings change Some stay the same Keep beckoning to me From behind that closed door The maid and the mother And the crone that's grown old I hear your voice Coming out of that hole I listen to you And I want some more I listen to you And I want some more And she will always carry on Something is lost But something is found They will keep on speaking her name Some things change Some stay the same |

I remember you
I remember the first time we met I may be a sentimental fool Forever in your debt For something I cannae forget I remember you I remember the first time we spoke The sound of your voice like a lover's tongue Got in my ear when I'd just begun To wonder if springtime was through I remember you How do we change so easily? You'll always be a part of me I thought you'd never go It shows you what I know I remember the first time we slept What a surprise to wake up to Someone I hardly knew From a sleep to a dream come true I remember you |

Kid what changed your mood
You've gone all sad so I feel sad too I think I know some things we never outgrow You think it's wrong I can tell you do How can I explain When you don't want me to Kid my only kid You look so small you've gone so quiet I know you know what I'm about I won't deny it But you forgive though you don't understand You've turned your head You've dropped by hand All my sorrow, all my blues All my sorrow Shut the light, go away Full of grace, you cover your face Kid gracious kid Your eyes are blue but you won't cry I know angry tears are too dear You won't let them go |

I want you to love me
That's all I want from you I want you to love me One day I know I'm a peasant Dressed as a princess But that doesn't mean you have To take my clothes away If I could show you Some happiness Then I would feel Like a real princess That to me would be success My baby I seen you dancin' A natural beauty You make this dive Seem sublime You really get To the heart of the music You're the poetry of time If there's a method To writing a song How come I'm getting it wrong You write the beautiful songs Baby C'mon, c'mon, c'mon baby Take my hand C'mon, c'mon, c'mon show me To the love land Can this really happen In this day and age Suddenly To just turn the page Like walking on stage My baby |

Don't you go away
C'mon get close to me The hassles of the day Have made a real mess of me The moon is in the sky And the stars are out tonight They shimmer in the pools of your eyes In the moonlight You're so nice to touch Lovely to look at Touch, touch In the tradition of love Hear the summer breeze All the nighttime's listening Your eyes are sparkling now And their oceans glistening Sail upon a sea Of love filling the room Lilacs seem to be Everywhere with their perfume Love, love Love, love Love, love You can in a breath Blow the storm clouds out the sky A hurricane retreats In the blinking of your eye A flame within my heart Is ignited by your voice C'mon baby now Let's make love our final choice Ooh you're nice to touch Lovely to look at Touch, touch In the tradition of love Love, love Love, love Love, love Shri gouranga Jaya gouranga Gour gour gouranga Nam Gour gour gouranga Nam |

When i change my life
There'll be no more disgrace The deeds of my past Will be erased And you'll forgive me Then you will come back Hold my hand and say "i still love you" When i change my life When i change my life And all the scars have faded I'll be someone you look up to Not excused when your friends come around And you'll want me always to be there You'll be proud to say "i'm with her" When i change my life I want a place in the sun - i do I want to be in love with someone I want to forget every regret And all those rotten things that i put you through When i change my life And the idiot me Leaves this town forever Leaves us to be Together - for the rest of our lives Happily forever and ever When i change my life |
