You must understand how the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

It may seem to you that i'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If i tend to look dazed i've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

I've been taking on a new direction
But i have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

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 spell
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
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'll 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
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

Everything's gonna be alright tonight
Everything's gonna be alright tonight
No one moves, no one grooves
No one talks, no one walks tonight
Tonight

Everyone will be alright tonight
Everyone will be alright tonight
No one moves, no one talks
No one thinks, no one walks tonight
Tonight

I will love you till i reach the end
I will love you till i reach the end
I will love you till i die
I will see you in the sky
Tonight, tonight

Everyone will be alright tonight
Everyone will be alright tonight
No one moves, no one talks
No one thinks, no one walks tonight
Tonight

When i was younger, so much younger than today
Never needed anybody's help in anyway
But now those days are gone and i'm not so self assured
Now i find i've changed my mind, i've opened up the door

Help me if you can i'm feeling down
And i do appreciate you being around
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
And every now and then i feel so insecure
And now i just need you like i never did before

Help me if you can i'm feeling down
And i do appreciate you being around
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can't make the same mistake this time
We are the children
The last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And i wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains

We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome

Looking for something we can rely on
There's got to be something better out there
Love and compassion, their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air
And i wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains
All the children say

We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome

What do we do with our lives
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a life
Or end in the dark
Give it all or nothing

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

Two people gotta stick together
And love one another, save it for a rainy day
Some people gotta stay whatever
And 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

Two people gotta stick together
And love one another, save it for a rainy day
Some people gotta stay whatever
And give one another shelter on a rainy day

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

Album: private dancer (84)

I made a resolution and i plan to keep my work
But i need you to make it work
You've got to read the message, understand what's on my mind
Cause not to see would be a crime
And we could lose it anytime

We've got to show some respect
We've got to learn to protect
Don't take it for granted, i know
That if you want to stay close
We've got to show some respect

But i believe in working, then i believe in a little help
Cause i'm not a light unto myself
Without a thing of value, why settle for second best
We don't know what's up ahead
And we can't let ourselves forget

We've got to show some respect
We've got to learn to protect
Don't take it for granted, i know
That if you want to stay close
We've got to show some respect

For the things that i love about you
From the woman that you see inside
Don't let it walk out the door
Love follows everytime

Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is all i need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is alright with me
You make me feel so brand new
I want to spend my whole life with you

Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is all i need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, oh tell me, why do people break up
Turn around and make up
I just came to see
You'd never do that to me, would you baby?
Cause being around you is all i see

So baby let's we all stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

You know the sun is shining
It's raining in my heart
I don't know what to do
Since we've been apart
Why don't you tell me, babe
What is going on
You know i love you darling
Don't want to be alone

They're tearing us apart
They're breaking up my heart
I knew it from the start
Your friends are tearing us apart

You know i can't go on
Feeling this old way
You know my heart is burning
It's burning everyday
You know i love you, baby
No one else will do
Why don't you reconsider
Do what i want you to

They're tearing us apart
They're breaking up my heart
I knew it from the start
Your friends are tearing us apart

All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names
You don't think of them as human
You don't think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do

I want to make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah, i guess i want a family
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do

Deutch marks or dollars
American express will do nicely, thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me, do you wanna see me do the shimmy again?

Y' know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But there's just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing
Nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we're gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do "proud mary"

And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story

I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And i never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in memphis
Pumped a lot of tane down in new orleans
But i never saw the good side of the city
Till i hitched a ride on a riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give

A prisoner of your love
Entangled in your web
Hot whispers in the night
I'm captured by your spell
Oh yes i'm touched by this show of emotion
Should i be fractured by your lack of devotion
Should i, should i?

You better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
Cause i don't have no use
For what you losely call the truth
You better be good to me

I think it's also right
That we don't need to fight
We stand face to face
And you present your case
And i know you keep telling me that you love me
And i really do wanna believe
But did you think i'd just accept you in blind faith
Oh sure babe, anything to please you

You better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
Cause i don't have the time
For your over loaded lines
You better be good to me

And i really don't see why it's so hard to be good to me
And i don't understand what's your plan that you can't be good to me
What i can't feel i surely cannot see, why can't you be good to me
And if it's not real i do not wish to see, why can't you be good to me

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh, and like that river i've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

It's been too hard living and i'm affraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

I go to the movies and i go around in town
Everybody there keeps telling me "don't hang around"
It's been a long, a long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

Then i go to my brother
And i say "brother, please"
But he just winds up, knocking me
Back down on my knees

Sometimes i thought i wouldn't last for long
But now i think i'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

When i was a little girl i had a rag doll
The only doll i've ever owned
Now i love you just the way i loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper let me say
And it gets higher day by day

Do i love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If i lost you would i cry
Oh how i love you baby, baby, baby, baby

When you were a young boy did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well i'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No i'll never let you down
Cause it goes on and on like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby as it grows

Do i love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If i lost you would i cry
Oh how i love you baby, baby, baby, baby

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And i love you baby like a robin loves to sing
And i love you baby like a schoolboy loves his bag
And i love you baby river deep mountain high
