1. _ Back Where You Started
baby tell me what you're trying to prove
playing games with my heart
hey now listen i ain't gonna take one more night
you're the one who broke the rules
and i'm the one who played the fool
now you're trying to tell me it's alright
you should know better than to hurt a friend
you'll never get another chance again
chorus
you'll be back where you started
i know you won't admit it but you're broken hearted
back where you started
you think it's gonna be easy but it just gets harder harder
you had a way with words
one look and i was under your spell
i didn't know should i stay or should i run
you can't deny you told me lies
love'em and leave'em baby that's your style
i'm not afraid to take life as it comes
you play with fire i guess you'll never learn
you mess with me babe you 're gonna get burned
chorus
you'll be back where you started
then you'll know how it feels when you've been discarded
back where you started
you think you got it made but it won't get you far no it won't get you far
who's gonna help ya throw you a lifetime
i'll tell you one thing you've really done it this time
you took your one chance and let it slip away
you're not the kind who'll ever settle down
the rumour's getting out all over town
you'll be

2. _ Till The Right Man Comes Along
it's time to face the music
tonight i came to use it
you never know
who you're gonna meet in here
i thought i'd never find it
the dark and handsome kind
i used to dream of
and now you're standing there
though you're looking good to me
it doesn't mean that you can do as you please
no no no no
chorus
oh baby you're the best thing in my life
but a one track mind is what you got
oh baby you're the best bet here tonight
and a one track mind is worth a lot
i've got no good reason to believe we'll last for long
but that's good enough for me till the right man comes along
i've waited for a lover
the kind who'll stay forever
you look to me
like the sort of man i need
it's not the best scenario
but now i've found you i'm letting you go
chorus
oh baby you're the best thing in my life
but a one track mind is what you got
oh baby you're the best bet here tonight
and a one track mind is worth a lot
for the perfect guy maybe i should be holding on
and with you i could till the right man
till the right man comes along

3. _ Girls
girls we come and we go
we kiss come and we go
like a breeze brushing your cheek
like pain like the tears on a face
chorus
girls we come and we go
like spirits we vanish at dawn
my heart suspended in time
like you vanish like tears in the rain
girls we take our loves away
like spirits living so far away
girls pretending to break down and cry
girls whispering wind what are we giving away
we used to be so happy
remember remember so happy
i never knew how lonely how lonely
how lonely could feel

4. _ Break Every Rule
every road that i walk
every single flight i ever take
though i'm thousands of miles away
in my mind every journey leads me closer to you
i've been all around this world
i've been in far too many states
but i'm under your spel
l i've made my mistakes oh you can probably tell
you're every dream that i dream
you're every beautiful thing i've ever seen
i'm always singing your praises
counting the days away
chorus
i would be your slave i'd even be your fool
i'm so in love with you
i'm in love with you baby
i'm gonna break every rule
i hope you can forgive
every white lie i'm forced to tell
they say that everything's fair in love and in war
and i'm not above cheating for you
one night i'll catch you off your guard
and you will finally fall so hard
strategically speaking i'm already beaten
i'll surrender to you
you're every dream that i dream
you're every beautiful thing i've ever seen
i'm always singing your praises
counting the days away
chorus
i would be your slave
i'd even be your fool
i'm so in love with you
i'm in love with you baby
i'm gonna break every rule
every road that i walk on
every flight that i ever take
every dream that i dream of
every journey brings me closer to you

5. _ Two People
two people living on the edge of life
are people running out of dreams and time
i can hear it when you tell me so
i can feel it but i can't let go
chorus
two people gotta stick together and love one another
save it for a rainy day
some people gotta stay whatever
give one another shelter on a rainy day
two people living in the way we do
are people trying to keep a love anew
what to say to make some sense of it
what to do to make the feeling fit
repeat chorus
i'll come running to your rescue
you gotta stand by me
there's a lot of love between us
we should never let go
repeat chorus

6. _ Typical Male
(t. britten, g. lyle)
Producer: terry britten
Albums: break every rule (86), simply the best (91), the collected recordings (94)
Grammy nomination: best pop vocal performance, female (87)
Tell me lawyer what to do
I think i'm falling in love with you
Defend me from the way i feel
Won't you give me some advice
On how to handle my private life
I'm sure we can make a deal
I confess i'm a fool for men with a clever mind
But your intellect ain't no match with this heart of mine
All i want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male
Your sense of justice i'll embrace
But your defence don't help my case
I'm deep in trouble with the law
Something about authority
Seems to bring out the bad in me
Hey lawyer gotta catch me when i fall
Oh they say that you match your wits with the best of them
But i know when i'm close you're just like the rest of them
All i want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male
So put your books aside
Loosen off the suit and tie
Gotta open up your heart and let me in
Open up your heart and let me in

7. _ Afterglow
i need you here beside me to chase the night away
i need your love to guide me safe through another day
i lie and watch the lights go down
say goodnight to another town
and though it hurts to be alone
i have my thoughts of you to keep me warm
in the afterglow of your love
dreaming's all i'm guilty of
everyday i'm playing tough
but read my mind
chorus
if you could see me now
just living my life in a limbo
if you could see me now
the me that only you would know
still burning in the afterglow
when the beat of the drum has faded
the show comes to an end
the stage is cleared and loaded
and the highway calls again
i stand and watch the lights go down
in the afterglow of your love
dreaming's all i'm guilty of
everyday i'm playing tough
but read my mind
chorus
if you could see me now
just living my life in a limbo
if you could see me now
the me that only you would know
still burning in the afterglow
stay with me right to the end
till i can hold you again
repeat chorus

8. _ I'll Be Thunder
there'll be a storm one night
then i'll fly to you for shelter
soaked in welcome rain
falling to forbidden arms
too breathless too helpless
too restless to explain needing you
there'll be a storm one night
but you will find my place of hiding
we'll watch the lights like children
leave the fortress hand in hand
i'll be thunder
you'll be lightning
and we'll collide on dry land
there'll be a storm one night
and i will find no other rescue
lost and far from home
crying for some guiding light
too reckless too helpless
too hungry to refrain from needing you
there'll be a storm one night
the wind will drive me to your castle
and you'll ignite the fire
just as if everything were planned
i'll be thunder
you'll be lightning
and we'll collide on dry land
no betrayal
no denial no need to explain
we'll collide

9. _ Paradise Is Here
you say you wanna live some
move out into the fast lane
you say you need excitement
to make you come alive
some place a million miles from
the shadows that surround you
i look for your attention
you're lost out in the future
where lovers ask no questions
and shadows never fall
some pilgrim bound for paradise
no compromise
chorus
paradise is here
it's time to stop your crying
the future is this moment
and not some place out there
tonight i need your love
don't talk about tomorrow
right now i need your loving
right now give it to me
right now i want your loving
right now now now now now
you talk about your new plans
to move on up the stairway
you dream about the high life
that's waiting for you there
a world of fame and fortune
just around the corner
but i don't need no high life
to make me feel a woman
i don't need to reach for
no castles in the sky
just put your arms around me devour me
chorus
cos' paradise is here
it's time to stop your crying
the future is this moment
and not some place out there
tonight i need your love
don't talk about tomorrow
right now i need your loving
right now give it to me
right now i want your loving
right now
don't say tomorrow
no time for sorrow

10. _ What You Get Is What You See
some boys got the look of a greek adonis
some boys try to talk you off your feet
some boys think they're gods gift to woman
some boys think they're sweet enough to eat
try to change the habit of a lifetime
don't even try
cause when you cut down deeper than the icing
you realise
chorus
what you get is what you see
ain't nothing more to it
and if you wanna love a woman like me
it takes a man to do it
if what you get is what you see
then i don't want your kind of love
some guys got lips that you can't help kissing muh muh muh
and some guys got a smile you can't resist
some guys gotta build a reputation
they just wanna add you to the list
you got a lot of physical attraction
i can't deny
but can you guarantee me satisfaction
while i'm still waiting waiting waiting
chorus
what you get is what you see
ain't nothing more to it
and if you wanna love a woman like me
it takes a man to do it
if what you get is what you see
then i don't want your kind of love
so let me see your cards on the table
before i buy
i always read the writing on the label
so give me reason to believe there's more to you than meets the eye

11. _ Overnight Sensation
well i guess i been a long time
working in the back line
trying to make a song fit
you know it never was mine
two dollar high heel and a honky tonk dress
in the rhythm and soul revues
i had a dream i guess
yes yes
and i had to beat the stagefright
i had to cry all night
tryin' to make a song fit
you know it never was right
i said girl get up and get out of this mess
you're gonna be and overnight sensation
be an overnight success
and all through the badlands
rockin' on the bandstands
it's so hard in the bar bands
when there's no one there who understands
and lady luck'll pass you by
and she'll never say yes
you're gonna be an overnight sensation
gonna be an overnight success
well i used to be a sweet little rock 'n' roll singer
chasing after fortune and fame
what's your story what's your payola
me i'm in the music game
well i guess i've been a long time
workin' in the backline
tryin' to make a song fit
you know it never was mine
what can i tell you
i made a break i guess
now i'm an overnight sensation
i'm an over overnight
i'm an over overnight success
