Dream Street

And a bus comes in on the hollywood freeway in the dark

A face catches sight of home, though at this spirited town

Such a beating of the heart and a hope deep down inside

They say the streets are paved with gold

But it sure looks kind of cold outside



Steppin' on the sidewalk with the stars beneath her feet

Just a handful of tourists, is all she's bound to meet

So tough to find a room and it takes more than a day

And it's not too nice and the price is high

Somehow she can't help but cry

In a world full of fantasies, reality can hurt

It's about the fiction, the odds won't go with her on



Chorus:

Dream street, dream street

Will it all come true? will it all just fade away

Dream street, dream street

Well, it's hard to find and

It won't let hope escape from dream street



A year goes by, and the situation she can't stand

Came to be an actress, but a waitress is all she lands

Her colleague smiles at her through the wrinkles of her face

She came here too, with the self-same goals

She never got out of this place



She makes her mind up, she's gonna leave that very night

It's been so long now since she's felt that good inside

She calls the service line, there's a message in there for her

She's gotta star in a movie part, suddenly it's all worthwhile

Oh a little bit closer now, but really still too far

Is it always out of reach, that bright and shiny star of



Repeat chorus

It's traveling faster than the eye can see

Information in the sky

Messages beamed across the atmosphere

Transmitted by you and i



Chorus:

Communication

Say the words

Are you there?

Can i be heard?

First indication

Heart to heart

Come together

Worlds apart



Oh, thank heavens for the microwave

Can't ignore technology

It's so easy to communicate

How come you're not hearin' me



Chorus 2:

Communication

Say the words

Are you there?

Can i be heard?

Station to station

Coast to coast

Face to face

Will tell you most



Now we're livin' in the computer age

The picture's on my video

I keep your number in my database

Turn it onto audio



Communication

Say the words

Are you there?

Can i be heard? (why don't you say that you need me)

Person to person

Heart to heart

Come together

Worlds apart



Repeat chorus 2

Repeat chorus



Communication

Say the words (why don't you say it babe)

Are you there? (why don't you say it babe)

Can i be heard? (why don't you say it babe)

Communication (why don't you say it babe)

Heart to heart

Come together

Worlds apart

Communication

I've got my eyes on you

You're playin with peek-a-boo

And it's so exciting

There's such a chemistry between you and me

So there's no use fighting

Don't say, "it's so good j"

Just give your heart away

'cause i'll find the words to say...



Chorus:

If it takes all night

If it takes all night, honey

Gonna make you mine

If it takes all night

Gotta find a way

To get inside your heart tonight

I'll make the lovin' right

If it takes all night



I hear what people say

Love's just a game you play

For the competition

Even some friends of mine

Say that i'm wastin' time

But my heart won't listen

I know they want you too

They say i won't get through

But it will be me and you



Repeat chorus



I know my lover when i see him in disguise

And i won't give up 'til i see that fire in your eyes



Repeat chorus

Standin' at the edge of time 'bout to lose my mind

'cause you try to take him away from me, i won't let it be

You just walk into my life and try to take away my only prize

But you better give credit 'cause his love is right here for me



You don't stand another chance

You don't stand another chance

You don't stand another chance

You don't stand another chance



He belongs to me, just wait and see

Take him in my arms, give him love, not too much of me

Nothin' you can do or say to make him look your way

So you better give credit 'cause it's gonna come walking my way



You don't stand another chance

You don't stand another chance (ohh)

You don't stand another chance (you don't stand baby)

You don't stand another chance (you don't stand)

You don't stand another chance



Sit and wait at home 'bout to leave me alone (i know baby)

You'll be with him when he's up, not down, to keep him on the ground

Let me tell you something, it's true, he's not in love with you

So you better give credit 'cause it's nothing coming down your way



You don't stand another chance (not a chance, baby)

You don't stand another chance (you don't stand, baby)

You don't stand another chance (baby) you don't stand another chance (you don't stand)



Well, you know somebody's gotta lose

We all can't win... maybe next time, okay

You guys are confusing



You don't stand another chance (you don't stand)

You don't stand another chance (you don't stand, baby)

You don't stand another chance (you don't stand, baby)

You don't stand another chance (another chance)

(duet with cliff richards)



Janet: i know we just met, but i feel like i've known you before

Cliff: but something about you my heart has been searching

Janet: i don't understand it, it's over my head

Cliff: so don't try to solve it, just feel it instead. ooh



Chorus:

It isn't really such a mystery

Anyway you add it up it turns out to be

Attraction automatic, a simple mathematics

Two to the power of love



Janet: i look in your eyes and everything falls into place

Cliff: you don't have to say it, it's written all over your face

Janet: by my calculation, i'm falling for you

Cliff: it's a perfect equation

Janet and cliff: and i know that it's true



Repeat chorus



Janet and cliff:

It's complicated, but it's easy to see

A combination that was meant to be

It's something you can count on



Repeat chorus



It isn't really just a shot in the dark

Somebody must've worked it out on the chart

Attraction automatic, a simple mathematics

Two to the power of love
