Your eyes burn through me,
Oh, like a raging fire.
I fall blissfully,
Every time you say just one little word.
You know it makes me crazy.
You ask way too much,
Oh, when you say that i can look but do not touch.
I have never wanted any other girl,
The way i want you, baby.
I surrender to what i can't control.
Drunk with desire, i've opened up my soul

You know i would go around the world,
I'd take you anywhere,
Oh, baby anywhere,
For a touch of heaven.
Tell me what you want, i'll give you anything,
Oh, baby everything,
For a touch of heaven

I have dreamed of this,
Your body next to mine.
Drowning in every kiss.
How i've longed to find my one and only girl.
And i found her in you, baby.
All i ever wanted is everything that you are.
Don't leave me longing,
Be tender with my heart.


[chorus]

Everyone says you've been leading me on.
Too late for warnings, i 'm already gone.
Ooh, i surrender to what i can't control.
Drunk with desire,
I'm giving you my soul.

[chorus]

Lately i've been trying
To fill up my days since you're gone
The speed of love is blinding
And i don't know how to hold on
My mind won't clear
I'm out of tears
My heart's got no room left inside

Chorus
How many dreams will end
How long can i pretend
How many times will love pass me by
Until i find you again

Will the arms of hope surround me
Will time be a fair weather friend
Should i call out to angels
Or just drink myself sober again
I can't hide it's true
I still burn for you
Your memory just won't let me go

Chorus

I'd hold you tighter
Closer than ever before
No flame would burn brighter
If i could touch you once more.
Hold you once more

Chorus

We work our bodies weary to stay alive
There must be more to livin' than nine to five

Why should we wait for some better time
There may not even be a tomorrow
Ain't no sense in losing your mind
I'm gonna make it worth the ride

Chorus
Don't you know, i won't give up until
I'm satisfied
Don't you know, why should i stop until
I'm satisfied

Ignore the hesitation, that ties your hands
Use your imagination, and take a chance

I won't let my moment of thuth pass me by
I've gotta make my move now or never
And if they turn mr loose on this town
They're gonna have to hold me down

Chorus

Oh, don't you know, ain't gonna stop until
Were satisfied
Don't you know, we shouldn't stop until
We're satisfied

Don't you know, ain't gonna stop until
I'm satisfied
Don't you know, we won't give up until
We're satisfied

Whenever i'm weary
From the battles that rage in my head
You make sense of madness
When my sanity hangs by a thread
I lose my way, but still you
Seem to understand
Now & forever,
I will be your man

Sometimes i just hold you
Too caught up in me to see
I'm holding a fortune
That heaven has given to me
I'll try to show you
Each and every way i can
Now & forever,
I will be your man

Now i can rest my worries
And always be sure
That i won't be alone, anymore
If i'd only known you were there
All the time,
All this time. . .

Until the day the ocean
Doesn't touch the sand
Now & forever
I will be your man

All that i know in my life, i have learned on the street
No magic carpet, no genie, no shoes on my feet


Will i wake up from this nightmare?
A fear that chills me to the bone
Though i may be one of many
I feel so all alone

Chorus:
We are the children of the night
We won't go down without a fight
Our voice is strong, our future's bright
And thanks to what we learned from you
We've grown into the children of the night

Left by my father with only this scar on my face
Told by my mother that, "no, you were just a mistake."
I have tasted my own hunger
Sold my body to survive
Some have paid to scratch the surface
But they can't touch what's inside

Repeat chorus

How i long for something better
Than this life i know too well
Lord, i know i'm bound for heaven
Cause i've done my time in hell

Repeat chorus

Welcome to the big time.
You're bound to be a star
And even if you don't go all the way,
I know that you'll go far
This race is for rats, it can turn you upside down
Ain't no one you can count on in this sleazy little town, oh no


Lots of promises in the dark
But don't you open your heart

Chorus
Cause it don't mean nothin'
The words that they say
Don't mean nothin'
These games that people play
No, it don't mean nothin'
No victim, no crime
It don't mean nothin'
Till you sign it on the dotted line



The director smiles as you walk in the door
He says, "i love your work, babe" but
You're just not what we're looking for
It's never what but who it is you know
So easy to get stuck in all that california snow


Take a good look around and you'll find
People tryin' to mess with your mind

Repeat chorus

Hollywood can be so lonely
Make you the winner of a losing fight
But the party is never over
Cause stars are always shining
Doesn't matter if it's day or night

The producer says, "let me change a line or two"
And a little bit of something can look awfully good to you
And you want to scream, but you gotta keep it all inside
When you're trying to make a living,
There ain't no such thing as pride, no


Lots of promises in the dark
But don't you open your heart

Chorus

It don't mean nothing at all. . .

Just when i believed i couldn't ever want for more
This ever changing world pushes me through another door
I saw you smile
And my mind could not erase the beauty of your face
Just for awhile
Won't you let me shelter you

Chorus
Hold on to the nights
Hold on to the memories
I wish that i could give you something more
That i could be yours

How do we explain something that took us by surprise
Promises in vain, love that is real but in disguise
What happens now
Do we break another rule
Let our lovers play the fool
I don't know how
To stop feeling this way

Repeat chorus

Well, i think that i've been true to everybody else but me
And the way i feel about you makes my heart long to be free
Everytime i look into your eyes, i'm helplessly aware
That the someone i've been searching for is right there

Hold on to the nights
Etc.

Summer came and left without a warning
All at once i looked and you were gone
And now you're looking back at me
Searching for a way that we can be like we were before

Now i'm back to what i knew before you
Somehow the city doesn't look the same
I'd give my life for one more night
Of having you here to hold me tight; oh please
Take me there again
Oh,oh

Chorus
And i remember how you loved me
Time was all we had until the day we said goodbye
I remember every moment of those endless summer nights

I still recall the walks along the beaches
And the way your hair would glisten in the sun
Rising in the afternoon
Making love to you under the moon, oh

Do you remember all the nights we spent in silence
Every single breath you took was mine
We can have it all again
Say that you'll be with me when the sun brings your heart to mine, oh, oh

Repeat chorus

There's only so much i can say
So please don't run away from what we have together
It's only you and me tonight
So let's stay lost in flight
Oh, won't you please surrender
