Written by barry, maurice & robin gibb

Don't know why
I'm surviving every lonely day
When there's got to be
No chance for me

My life would end
And it doesn't matter how i cry
My tears of love
Are a waste of time
If i turn away

Am i strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what i will do

If i can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If i can't have you, oh oh oh oh
If i can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If i can't have you, oh oh oh...

Can't let go
And it doesn't matter how i try
I gave it all so easily
To you my love

To dreams that never will come true
Am i strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what i will do

If i can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If i can't have you, oh oh oh oh
If i can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
If i can't have you, oh oh oh...

You say everything's alright
I say nothing can go right, yeah

You say everything's alright
I say nothing can go right, yeah
Oh what a game you can play
Sad days add to confusion

And the road you take is tough
But i just can't get enough
Chequered love

Go go

Don't wanna know about vacations in this cheap motel
Don't wanna know about your sea green curtains
Cos all i want 'n' all i need is just some time with you
Don't complicate it - just do it once again

Just go for it
Just go for the second time
Just go for it, just go - just go

Don't wanna hear about the time and how it's gettin' late
How can you stop when i could go for hours
You need some magic; come on let me lean on you
Don't look around - you're not goin' anywhere

Just go for it
Just go for the second time
Just go for it, just go - just go for it

'cos all i need
And all i need
'cos all i want 'n' all i need

I'm never letting go - baby don't expect me to
How can you stop when my whole world's exploding (go)
Look in the mirrors - and see the heat of something new
Why don't we do it - just do it once again

Just go for it
Just go for the second time
Just go for it, just go - just go for it

Don't be so nervous
Don't get so hot
Don't start to fumble it up
'cos all i want 'n' all i need

There's such an urgency in everything i need from you
Stop giving up - you know you can't refuse me (go)
I've every reason to believe there's still a man in you
You done it once so come on go again

Just go for it
Just go for the second time
Just go for it, just go
Just go for it, just go...

Written by ricky & kim wilde

Someone i know is staring at me
And when i look into her eyes
I see a girl that i used to be
I hardly recognise
Cos in the space of a year
I've watched the old me disappear
All of the things i once held precious
Just don't mean anything anymore
Cos suddenly

You came, and changed the way i feel
No one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No one could take your place

I've never felt good with permanent things
Now i don't want anything to change
You can't imagine the joy you bring
My life won't be the same
And i'll be there when you call
I'll pick you up if you should fall
Cos i have never felt such inspiration
Nobody else ever gave me more because

You came, and changed the way i feel
No one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No one could take your place

I watch you sleep in the still of the night
You look so pretty when you dream
So many people just go through life
Holding back, they don't say what they mean
But it's easy for me
Since you came
No one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No one could take your place
You came, and changed the way i feel
No one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No one could take your place

Ten little indians
Standin' in a row
All dressed up
But nowhere to go
Lookin' for a target
Lookin' for a man ........

Just get me outta here
It's not the place
My mind's been thinkin' on
Just push me out again
It's no use hangin' round or hangin'on

Seven little indians
Standin' in a row
The compere walks on the stage and he says
"sing it girls"
But the band's no good
And the song don't cut it

Just get me outta here
It's not the place
My mind's been thinkin' on
Just push me out again
It's no use hangin' round or hangin'on

Come on, let's go tonight
We gotta brand new way to celebrate it
Oh - i got this rage to love
Baby - it's so right
And if you feel it ...
Good !
Dedicate it
Oh - i got this rage to love

Three little indians
Cryin' in their make-up
Nobody stops
And nobody cares

Just get me outta here
It's not the place
My mind's been thinkin' on
Just push me out again
It's no use hangin' round or hangin'on

Come on let's go tonight
We gotta brand new way to celebrate it
Oh - i got this rage to love
Baby it's so right
And if you feel it...
Good !
Dedicate it
Oh i got this rage to...
Oh it's just this rage to... oh i got this rage to love

I tell ya
It's hell yeah
When love says goodbye it's a four letter word
Because your heart knows
When love goes
The feeling is bad - it's the pits of the world
It's sad but true
When nothing you can do, can bring it back

Standing in the rain
She starts to cry
Is it all a game
She wonders why
Why it had to start
Why should it end, and take her apart

Because she shows it
She knows it
But what can she do, it's a four letter word
Because it shakes you
It breaks you
And when it's the end, it's the worst thing you heard
It's over now
And nothing you can do can bring it back

Calling out his name
She starts to cry
Guys are all the same
She wants to die
Hide away the tears
No-one will see, and no-one must hear
But oh

How can the love that she has be profain
And how can something that's so beautiful
Just jeckyl and hyde around
It's so sad...

I tell ya
It's hell yeah
When love says goodbye
It's a four letter word
Because your heart knows
When love goes
The feeling is bad
It's the worst in the world
It's sad but true
When nothing you can do, can get it back

Standing in the rain
She starts to cry
Shouting out is name
Four letter words

Well he was thailand based
She was an airforce wife
He used to fly weekends
It was the easy life
But then it turned around
And he began to change
She didn't wonder then
She didn't think it strange
But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldn't say too much
But it would be alright
He didn't need to pack
They'd meet the next night
He had a job to do
Flying to cambodia

And as the nights passed by
She tried to trace the past
The way he used to look
The way he used to laugh
I guess she'll never know
What got inside his soul
She couldn't make it out
Just couldn't take it all
He had the saddest eyes
The girl had ever seen
He used to cry some nights
As though he lived a dream
Ans as she held him close
He used to search her face
As though she knew the truth
Lost inside cambodia

But then a call came through
They said he'd soon be home
She had to pack a case
And they would make a rendez-vous
But now a year has passed
And not a single word
And all the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze
Cambodia - don't cry now - no tears now

And now the years have passed
With not a single word
But there is only one thing left
I know for sure
She won't see his face again

Written by kim wilde & steve byrd

Never, ever felt this way before
You are the one that i'am craving for

Another step nearer your heart
Another step closer to knowing you
Another step nearer your heart
I'm on my way

I never thought it could happen
Being close to someone like you
But you know this isn't just a minute affair
If we make time and take a lot of care
I love everything about it
There's such a good feel about it
And i know where i'm gonna be
If you take a step closer to me

I couldn't even describe it
Though i tried i couldn't find the words
When you're stumbling through life
And love is one step away
Carry on or do you stay
We've got to promise faithfully
To hang on to each other and never leave
That's the way love's gonna be
If you take a step closer to me - come on now

The only way to deal with affairs of the heart
You've got to jump right in, doesn't matter who starts
Take a step nearer, come over here
Together we can make it tonight

Cascading down
There's a sound vaporising into vision
It's a sound in my head
That i feel and it shuts me in a prison

Say it won't last
Say it will pass
Always the sound in my brain
Can you hear it

Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down

Dancing away
Like the lights on a moving coloured river
Sounds in my head seem to run
And again i feel a shiver

Say it won't last
Pray it will pass
Always that sound in my brain
Can you hear it (can you hear it)

Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down

Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down
