unknown

Written by ricki wilde & mick silver

I had no reason to believe that love was true
Infatuation was a game for lonely fools
I wanted freedom but i guess i always knew
You love would entangle my emotions

I feel the power when i hold you close
Got to feel you, near me, baby
You take me higher than i thought i could go
Can't hide it any longer, i need you to know

Now i'm touched by your magic
At last i can breathe in all of your love
I couldn't hide from the feelings here inside
Cos i've waited so long
This is some kind of magic
I know that to lose your love would be
More than i could bear
I would you anywhere

I can't imagine i could change the way i feel
When i paint a picture of love it's you i'm thinking of
No hesitation, when you call me i'll be there
You know, we've got something to believe in

I never knew it was so easy to love
But i just can't help it, baby
This love is moving and it's out of control
Can't try any harder, i need you to know

Even when the clouds drift across the sky
I know that we'll make it somehow
Together we'll survive
If we only believe in love

This love is loving and it's out of control
Can't try any harder, i need you to know

At last i can breathe in all your love
I couldn't hide from the feelings here
Inside...

Janine - what's going on
Janine - i know that something sure is wrong
There's lights out on the road
And they're searchin' for you

Janine - life wasn't fair
Janine - when you got home and no-one cared
But running from your life
You let the vultures get through
And they feed on you, they feed on you

Chorus:
So what you gonna do when the lights burn out janine
What you gonna do when your light burns out

Janine - you want the truth
Janine - you'll find the pressure's now on you
You wanted all the world
But they've taken it all
And they're bleeding you, they're bleeding you

So, what you gonna do when the lights burn out janine
What you gonna do when your light burns out

Heh kid, don't hesitate
Don't stick around now
I bet you can hardly wait
Oh what a time i'll give to you
But it's never true

Janine - you'll soon be there
Janine - you're on a wing and a prayer
But angels love their own
And they're reaching out for you

Janine ..... oh janine

Why do i seem to confuse you
Do i lose you
Do i really look so strange
A woman alone is a danger
Is a stranger
She is better off in chains

Oh, how can it be you're happier now
Don't you feel half of you has gone
Sorry to say i've never felt so together
I've never felt this strong

I'm on my own again
And it's never felt so good
(i'm on my own)
I don't feel broken hearted
Don't feel that i should
I'm on my own again
Hard to believe but i never felt so alive

Why do you want to control me
Try to own me
Like a pet you'd like to tame
Don't look at me like i'm crazy
That's just lazy
Cause it's you that's got to change

Oh, how can it be you're happier now
Isn't it lonely on your own
Sorry to say my loneliest days have gone
And i've never felt so at home

I'm on my own again
And it's never felt so good
(i'm on my own)
I don't feel broken hearted
Don't feel that i should
I'm on my own again
Hard to believe but i never felt so alive

I'm on my own again
After all the years inside
(i'm on my own)
I've destroyed all the things that hurt me
Rediscovered my pride
I'm on my own again
Hard to believe but i never felt so alive

Feels so alive
I feel so alive

I'm on my own again
And it's never felt so good
(i'm on my own)
I don't feel broken hearted
Don't feel that i should
I'm on my own again
Hard to believe but i never felt so alive

Feels so alive
(i'm on my own)
I don't feel broken hearted
Don't feel that i should
I'm on my own again

Featuring you came, you keep me hangin' on, the second time, can't get enough (of your love), never trust a stranger and stone.

All right, it's time to get up and dance a bit
All right!

All right!

All right!

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

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
You
You
You
Keep me hangin' on

Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out of my life why don't cha babe
'cause you don't really need me
You just keep me hangin' on

You say you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
And now that you've got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me
You don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else

Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out of my life why don't cha babe
'cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on

Oh
Never trust a stranger with your heart
With your heart

Just do it...

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

Ooh
I can't get enough of your love
Cos it's true
Oh
I can't help myself from crying over you
I can't get enough of your love
Yeah i'm dying cos it's true
I can't get enough of your love

I'm a prisoner who can never leave
Someone that you use anytime you please
But i never want you to set me free
Cos i'm addicted to this love disease

And the fever rages in my soul
Begging you to want me and take control
But come tommorow you'll let me go
To find another foolish heart i know

As i face another lonely night
A different lover will hold you tight
It's not right

I can't help myself from crying over you
I can't get enough of your love
Yeah i'm dying cos it's true
I can't get enough of your love

Never trust a stranger i knew there was a danger
But couldn't resist
The touch of a stranger
The thrill of his kiss
Cos this time
I thought it was love
I thought it was heaven
Having the time of my life
I know it's not true

Oh never trust a stranger with your heart
Oh no, never trust a stranger with your heart

Most people wake
From a nightmare to find
Everything's great
It was all in their mind
So am i still sleeping
Or is this all real
If i keep on pinching myself
Will the fear disappear, oh no

It's like a stone hanging over our heads
Ready to blow
Cos this is our time
You've got to believe
That it's yours and it's mine
(don't you know)
Cos this is your time
You've got to believe
That it's yours and it's mine
(don't you know)

I can't see your face
Hear the excuses for
The mistakes that you make
I've heard all your lies
I don't know how much i can take
Before i break
I've tried to be so strong
While you broke the promises
All the vows that we made
We know something's wrong
But we carry on anyway
Day by day
You're the one who let me down
And now i find it hard to forgive
In my heart

But i'll try again
To forget all the pain
And love you again
I'll try again
Though you hurt me i know
I can't let you go

How can we forget
The sweetness of yesterday
We just can't let it go
Lost in bitterness
I'm losing my self control
And my soul
Cos you'll be the one who let me down
And now i find it hard to forgive
In my mind

But i'll try again
To forget all the pain
And love you again
I'll try again
Though you hurt me i know
I can't let you go

Oh why, why do we hurt each other more
When there's a way
Cos we never really found
What we were looking for
Can we try again

Cos you're the one who let me down
And now i find it hard to forgive
In my heart

But i'll try again
To forget all the pain
And love you again
I'll try again
Though you hurt me i know
I can't let you go

Ooh, i'll try again

Let's think of the good things
Instead of all the bad
We mustn't give into
A world that's going mad
So hold on, we can survive
We've got to keep the spirit
Of destiny alive
Just say that we can if we try

Like the rivers need the mountains
Just like the flowers need the rain
Pleasure need the pain
However far away it seems
I'm dreaming for a world
In perfect armony

And we've got to face it
There's nowhere left to hide
(but we need) a determination
To change the wrong to right
The future's a baby born
Looking for us for strength
To keep it from harm
You know we'll succeed if we try

Like the rivers need the mountains
Just like flowers need the rain
Pleasure need the pain
How ever far away it seems
I'm dreaming for a world
In perfect harmony

Don't let your dreams escape
The future's ours to shape

It's good to meet you - how you doin'
I haven't seen your face before
Yeah i'm alone here - noticed you the minute
You walked through the door

It's getting late and so much time is wasted
Dancing on the floor
And making small talk
I've been through that before
How do you want my love

You know they told me - keep your distance
Got to play love by the rules
And i believed them wound up losing
Love left me for a fool

I know i'm not the only one
Who knows what love can do
It's in your eyes
You've been hurt the same way too

How do you want my love
How do you want my love tonight
How do you want my love
How do you want my love tonight

Here with you i can smile away the pain
Make believe i can fall in love again
Won't you tell me your name
How do you want my love

The party's over - there's people leaving
Friend saying their goodbyes
So come on over - i'll make you coffee
No need to end the night

(this i swear...)

Each and every way i can
I will prove to you
I've got a fortune in my hands when i'm holding you
Never wanna let you go again
And that's the truth
I will try and answer all your prayers
This i swear

There's always a danger
There's always a fear
Love's not gonna make it out of here
I'm not asking for perfection
Just want a love that's true
And in return
I'll do my best for you
It seems the higher we climb
The further we fall together
But right here, i'll vow
Baby, i promise you know

Each and every way i can
I will prove to you
I've got a fortune in my hands when i'm holding you
Never wanna let you go again
And that's the truth
I will try and answer all your prayers
This i swear

We each have our moments
Our times of doubt
But i know deep down
Don't wanna live without you
You're the exception to the rule
Cos where love's concerned
I guess i've been a fool
I know it's a long, long road
But as long as we stand together
Right here, i'll vow
Baby i promise you now

Each and every way i can
I will prove to you
I've got a fortune in my hands when i'm holding you
Never wanna let you go again
And that's the truth
I will try and answer all your prayers
This i swear

Just like in a dream
I'm trying to scream
But no-one can hear me when i call
I feel paralysed
Unable to cry
While watching the world around me fall

Heard it on the news today
What are we doing to our world
There's got to be a better way
And we've got to choose it

And while we destroy
Our children will grow
Not missing the things they'll never know
A crime against them
Against you and me
A crime against all humanity

Heard it on the news today
What are we doing to our world
There's got to be a better way
And we've got to choose it

Don't you know that a day will come
To everyone
When they'll ask us to explain
Are we going to say that we weren't to blame
Who else could there be

Just like in a dream
I'm trying to scream
I feel paralysed
Unable to cry
What are we doing

Heard it on the news today
What are we doing to our world
There's got to be a better way
Or we're gonna lose it

Who's to blame?

Hello hello hello again
The strangest feelings touch my heart
It didn't cross my mind we'd meet again
We'd taken roads so far apart - but...

Just when we thought it was goodbye

Hello hello hello again
The memories drift out of time
The face i used to kiss a million ways
The love i truly thought was mine
I guess we just forgot to talk about it
And so we took the exit sign - but...

Just when we thought it was goodbye

Hello hello hello my love again
We make it seem like our first time
I want to stay inside your life again
To fall apart just seems a crime
And when we thought we'd closed the shutters down
And we had nowhere left to start - but...

Just when we thought it was goodbye

Hey, hey don't look so far away boy
Tell me what you're thinking
You say you're scared my love won't stay
Don't get lost in superstition
What does it take
For two hearts to trust enough to stay together
When is it safe
For two friends to turn into lovers forever
Why don't you know
By now you know me so very well
If you're asking then i'll tell
Where do you go from here
Straight to my heart that's where you belong
Where do you go from here
Straight to my heart that's where you belong
Hey, hey nothing could ever change the course of our collision
No fear we're destined to be here it's not even our decision
It's out of our hands
Love is a precious gift that we're given
Love as a plan
So don't try to read the writing in the heavens
You'll understand
The answers in my touch and my kiss
Boy you can be sure of this
Where do you go from here
Straight to my heart that's where you belong
Where do you go from here
Straight to my heart
Forever to be as one
Don't even try to deny the feeling deep in your soul
Cos you know that love will always take control
It's out of your hands
Love as a plan
So don't try to read the writing in the heavens
You'll understand the answers in my touch and my kiss
Boy you can be sure of this

You say hop and i hop

I'm just like putty, putty in your hands ah-ah

You can stretch me 'till i'm ten feet tall
Or mould me down to the size of a rubberball
You can use me, abuse me, but don't refuse me
Without your love i ain't nothing at all

They say i'm a fool

A long time ago you promised yourself
They're all gonna know me someday
Well you got what you wanted
But look at you now
You lost something good on the way
So where did it go
Tell me where did it go
But you wouldn't know

Snap your fingers and somebody runs
You don't care how they feel
Just as long as they come
Got your head in the stars
Now you've come this far
Just who do you think you are ?

Now everything seems to be going your way
And everyone loves what they see
But you ruin it all with the things that you say
So tell me how does it feel
When you're all alone
How does it feel
You're alone
Nothing is real

Snap your fingers and somebody runs
You don't care how they feel
Just as long as they come
Got your head in the stars
Now you've come this far
Just who do you think you are ?
You believe a ridiculous lie
You can't see you've become
All the things you despise
But i know who you are
And you've gone too far
Just who do you think you are ?

You can keep all your dreams
But you don't have to lose yourself
Cos one day you're gonna break
When the face in the mirror
Looking back at you's
A stranger that you can't place
Just who do you think you are ?

Snap your fingers and somebody runs
You don't care how they feel
Just as long as they come
Got your head in the stars
Now you've come this far
Just who do you think you are ?
You believe a ridiculous lie
You can't see you've become
All the things you despise
But i know who you are
And you've gone too far
Just who do you think you are ?

They said "stick with your own kind
You're out of your depth
Think you've had it bad so far
You're not finished yet"
And all she's known is the taste of tears
She's going no - where, can anybody hear

Now she's missing in the eyes of the law
She got out quick, she couldn't take much more
Now she's missing in the eyes of the law
Somebody help her

It's cold in the street
There's a cold in her nose
She's been walking all night
And the rain's soaked her clothes
She doesn't know what she's doing here
She shrugs her shoulders, guess that's the way it goes

And now she's missing in the eyes of the law
She only did it 'cos she wanted much more
And now she's missing in the eyes of the law
Somebody help her
Somebody

Hidden away - it's the end of a day
And you're not really thinking at all
There's that same stupid paper on the wall
And a stain where the damp's crawling

Chorus:
He's still looking for his shangri-la
But he wouldn't know it . . .
If it hit him in the face
If it hit him in the face

Day turns to daze
And indifference plays
While a sun goes on beating in the sky
And a small child falls over as she crys
Somewhere someone is calling her

Chorus
She's still looking for her shangri-la
But she wouldn't know it . . .
If it hit her in the face
If it hit her in the face

Spoken : i take a look behind me
And the sun shines brighter there
And the people are much more beautiful
In a place without a care
And i'm wondering if there'll ever be room for me
In shangri-la

Wondering now - do you love me - and now
As i burn with a dangerous desire
Is our time up and on to the next fire
Got my fingers burnt and cut into the wire
Do you think we will ever learn

Chorus

As we keep looking our shangri-la...
Our shangri-la
But we wouldn't know it . . .
If it hit us in the face
If it hit us in the face

Influences now are things that are all around me
Changing shape as they move around in an open mind
Coloured in by the images i find
I'm just watching for shapes that grow
I'm just watching for shapes that grow
(watching for shapes that grow)

Like electric sparks they danced by an open mirror
Closing doors never looking round but it's not goodbye
They'll be there till i'm taken out i know
I'm just watching for shapes that grow
I'm just watching for shapes that grow
(watching for shapes that grow)

In my mind there's a space that's full of painted pictures
Things i did that i went through, but can't recall
Now and then there's a flash of the unknown
I'm just watching for shapes that grow
I'm just watching for shapes that grow
(watching for shapes that grow)

(watching for shapes that grow)
(watching for shapes that grow)

I got this fever that burns in my head
And i don't want to move out of this bed
My heart is speeding away like a fast freight train
It's heading your way
It's racing like a river that's gone out of control
And reaches out for something completely unknown
It's eating through the senses and breathes in my soul
Oh this feeling just got to let it go

I got so much love
Do you feel the same
I got so much love
Do you feel the same
We'll how can i begin to
Hide the feelings that i'm into - for you
I got so much love inside
I got this feeling for you

But now the cure is about to begin
I feel your fingers all over my skin
And then the fire of kiss
What a thrill
So sweet so sweet
I don't

Written by kim wilde

Don't say nothing's changed with you
I can hear it in your sighs
The way that you can't look me in the eyes
It's spelling out bad news

So don't say it's the same we two
No i can't say i'm suprised
'cos i could see it in your eyes
And no you don't have to lie
Baby you don't have to lie

Why can't it be like yesterday
The feelings gone
But i just want to say that i love you know
And i'm holding on for you
Is that a silly thing to do

So don't say nothing's changed with you
Now we're running out of time
And i've got to give up something that was mine
Oh baby doesn't it seem cruel

So don't say it's the same we two
'cos we're already worlds apart
And now the lonliness will start
Oh boy you're breaking my heart
Baby you're breaking my heart

So don't say nothing's changed with you

Just like murder in the first degree
You're killing something deep inside of me
Cos you don't care if i should live or die
And you don't even attempt to lie
And that's why

Divorce - law courts

He said - she said
Analyse the news you've read
Irresistible - the updates unmissable
Fighting - uniting
The press are busy writing
They analyse the word called love
But what can they be thinking of ?

They say that love means the same
All over the world
But i don't think so
Let me tell you something
I think you should know

Don't fall in love (in hollywood)
It won't fell like you know it should (in hollywood)
An you can bet it won't do ya no good
It's just not understood

Here we are
Late in the hours that start another day
Here am i
Skirting around what i really want to say

Brothers
Well they hold a place in your heart
They're something apart
But then...
Lovers...
Well that's a different thing to talk about

All this world
You know i'd give you my love - if there were more
But these words
Cover the roads that we've walked so long before
That's another feeling
That's a different story
When we've really nowhere to start
That's another feeling
That's another place in your heart - when i say brothers

We've got really nowhere to start
That's another feeling
That's a different story
They're simply just two worlds apart
That's another feeling
That's another place in my heart - when i say brothers

When ever we two get talking about love
It always ends up
Ends up in tears
I would have thought by now you'd know me
So please stop cryin'
And wasting those tears

Written by o.s. blandamer

Too much time talking at each other
Seems you've got a different point of view
Lets just relax
Get down to basic facts
I'll tell you just exactly what to do
You want the car, oh yeah
Well every penny in my pocket isn't yours, my friend
I'm gonna do what my mama says, she said

Hit him, hit him in the heart
That's where it's gonna hurt
Hit him, hit him in the heart
Don't let him treat you like dirt

I don't wanna sound like in complaining
But what's it got to do with love at all
It's a private deal
Painful and so real
You make me feel like i just want to crawl
What's yours is yours, oh yeah
If you want to get your bags
Well i'll leave them in the wall
I'm gonna do what my mama says, she said

You've been spreading rumours all about me
But all these things you said are just not true
Sticks and stones
Can break my bones
But boy they're gonna hurt you too
I've got my pride, oh yeah
So i'll just take your heart and beat it black and blue
I'm gonna do what my mama said, she said . . .

Written by kim wilde & tony swain

You placed your bet while you were laughing in my face
And you let another woman take my place
No you wouldn't listen, wouldn't hear
I tried to change your mind
I never knew love was so conceited, so unkind

I was always one step ahead of you
Deep in my heart i always knew
Now admit it, you're gonna lose this fight
I'm not waiting any longer
Get him back to me tonight

Love send him back to me
Now that you've set him free
You better admit defeat
Love send him back to me

You broke her heart while you gambled with their souls
Now she's just another sad adventure you'll forget
But he didn't love her
Still you tried to satisfy your goal
I never knew love was so deceiving, so cold

I was always one step ahead of you
Deep in my heart i always knew
Now admit it, you're gonna lose this fight
I'm not waiting any longer
Get him back to me tonight

(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))

The pain inside
When you think you love another
But can't decide which way to go
And you're searching for a reason to leave his side
In time you'll see
It has to be this way
And though it hurts to say
I'm gonna be staying with my baby

(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))
I know he's good for me
I can see that he's feeling down
(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))
But i know he cares for me
And in time he will come around
So dry your eyes, before you turn away
You must know that i'll always love you
But now, i'm staying with my baby

You used to say
I should maybe take it further
And leave one day
My family - but i'm responsible for them
They depend on me
So now you see, our love is history
I'm sad it has to end
But i'm gonna be staying with my baby

(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))
I know he's good for me
I can see that he's feeling down
(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))
But i know he cares for me
And in time he will come around
So dry your eyes, before you turn away
You must know that i'll always love you
But now, i'm staying with my baby
(i'm staying with my baby... yes i am)

Please understand
He's just a desperate man
Who's doing all he can
So i'm going back

(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))
I know he's good for me
I can see that he's feeling down
(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))
But i know he cares for me
And in time he will come around
(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))
I'm gonna stay
(i'm gonna stay... (i'm gonna stay...))
I'm gonna stay

Lovers on a beach
Lovers on a beach
Two naked hands lay on the sand
When all the world was out of reach
Through the shuttered doors
The music filtered through
Playing on a theme that couldn't run

Lovers on a shore
Lovers on a shore
The heavy wine of broken time
But now they're gone it's nothing more
Looking back on days
When summer seemed so long
Now there's only winter nights to come

And oh - sometimes she's missing you
She hears the shore
She feels it more
And out there the waves are breaking
Back here her heart is aching

Lovers on a beach
Lovers on a beach
Two silhouettes were on a shore
But now they're lost and out of reach
Now on lonely roads
The flashbacks lead to you
Like a faded photograph in time

Oh lovers (lovers, lovers, lovers, lovers...)

And oh just as she's missing you
She hears the shore
She feels it more
And out there the waves are breaking
Back here her heart is aching

Lovers on a beach
Lovers on a beach
Two naked hands they're on the sand
When all the world was out of reach

Lovers on a beach
Lovers on a beach
Lovers
Lovers
Lovers on a beach
Lovers
Lovers
Lovers

Cos you're all i realy wanna do
I only want to be with you
Cos you blow my mind
Wanna share you love
Till the end of the time
Cos you're all my wishes coming true
Nothings compares to you
You're all i wanna do

You call up on the telephone
Say "come over, nobody's home"
And it doesn't really matter where i am
Cos there's nothing i would rather see
Than your face smiling back at me
I'll be right here
Just as fast as i can

Cos you're all i realy wanna do
I only want to be with you
Cos you blow my mind
Wanna share you love
Till the end of the time
Cos you're all my wishes coming true
Nothings compares to you
You're all i wanna do

I could win in the lottery
Wouldn't mean that much to me
Guess you gotta make love to understand
I could rise in a jet black benz
Movie stars could all be my friends
But i'd trade it in, for the touch of your hand

Cos you're all i realy wanna do
I only want to be with you
Cos you blow my mind
Wanna share you love
Till the end of the time
Cos you're all my wishes coming true
Nothings compares to you
You're all i wanna do

Could it be all the things you say
Every time you look at me that way
I lose my mind, cos you touched me in that special place
And my worries disappear without a trace, every time

Written by ricki & kim wilde

Although i'm standing here beside you
You make me feel like i'm all alone
And i've been trying hard to break through
But if you need me i've got to know

Baby, i've got to know is this imagination or something real
Baby, where do you go won't you come a little closer
And tell me how you feel

Tell me where you are
Cos we seem so far apart
Tell me where you are
Where's your heart

I know that love has been a stranger
And always something that let you down
Hoeny, you're not in any danger
I'll never give up on what we've found

Baby, i love you so come on turn around and listen to what i say
Baby, i'll never go you don't have to keep your distance
Please stop running away

Tell me where you are
Cos we seem so far apart
Tell me where you are
Where's your heart

Have you discovered a place to hide
Because you're scared of letting anyone inside
Forget your pride
Come on baby give it a try

Baby
Tell me where you are
Where's your heart
Baby, tell me where you are
Cos we seem so far apart
Tell me where you are
Where's your heart

Featuring you keep me hangin' on, another step (closer to you) and say you really want me.

'cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin'on

Get out of my life why don't cha babe
You don't really need me
But you keep me hangin'on

Why do you keep a comin' around
Playing with my heart
Why don't cha get out of my life
And let me make a brand new start
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me yeah

Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out of my life why don't cha babe
'cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin'on
No you don't really need me
You just keep me (keep me) hangin' on

You say although we broke up
You still just wanna be friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again
(and there ain't nothing i can do about it)

(keep me hangin' on)
(yeah)
Get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'cos you don't really love me
You just keep me (keep me) hangin'on
(keep me hangin' on)
(keep me hangin' on)
(keep me hangin' on)

Well they'll tease you and they'll please you
Make you better when you're feeling bad
All hope is gone - singing
Songs about love

They'll upset you and they'll get you
Slay your fantasy till you almost believe
You're the only one - singing
(songs about love)

So don't believe they're writing all those songs for you
Oh no 'cos you know they're only lies you're listening to
Those songs about love

It's all over now and nothing's right
You're left crying every night
(it ain't fair) oh no no
(it ain't fair) singing all about love

They'll deceive you, now they'll leave you
Leave you so confused don't you know you've been used
Now can't you see - singing
All about love

So don't believe they're writing all those songs for you
Oh no 'cos you know they're only lies you're listening to
Those songs about love

It's all over now and nothing's right
You're left crying every night
(it ain't fair) oh no no
(it ain't fair) so what you're gonna do about it
Don't you see it's just not right
To keep your feelings out of sight
(feeling bad) oh no no
(feeling bad) singing songs about love

And if we'd never meet again
(what would you do with your life)
Do you think we could be friends
(or would it hurt you hurt you)
Don't you see they got to you and me
With all their songs about love

Well you know now, better go now
Gonna mend your heart it's a brand new start
Don't be afraid - singing
Songs about love

So don't believe they're writing all those songs for you
Oh no 'cos you know they're only lies you're listening to
Those songs about love

Ooh ooh ooh
Oh no no no no

Don't you see it's just not right
To leave your feelings out of sight
Oh no no
Singing songs about love

("mother?")
("mother?")

Well as the city nights grow cold
The lights jump through the shutters
And a thousand echos fill the streets
And bounce along the dirty gutters

(out there)
I know that he's waiting for me
(somewhere)
I know that he's waiting there for me

I watched her falling to the ground
And saw the glass go flying
And inside her mind the fuse blew out
But deep inside a voice was crying

(out there)
I know that he's waiting for me
(somewhere)
I know that he's waiting there

Look out for the bladerunner
I thought i heard him calling you

And now a silence fills the room
I feel my heart start beating
'cos inside the shadows there he stands
He's waiting on our final meeting

(out there)
I know that he'd waited for me
(somewhere)
I know that he'd waited there for me

Are you the devil come to carry away my soul
I want to love you but i don't want to lose control
You're taking over me with each little move you make
I want to trust you but it could be a big mistake
I know

But the moment you're here everything's right
I lose the fear of the shadows in the night
But then the moment you're gone everything's wrong
It never felt this strong

Baby hold on
A miracle's coming
Can you believe it
Take it in and breathe it
Baby hold on
A miracle's coming
You gotta understand
It's right here in our hands
I know

I hear the questions when you look into my eyes
You're scared of rumours, but i tell you they're only lies
Is this forever, how can either of us

Written by kim wilde & tony swain

Yeah yeah alright
Life and soul
They say that it's a fact of life we'll die
But i say the fact of life is life
And as i breathe the air of another lonely day
There's something i've been meaning to say to you
I know i let you down (trust in me)
Didn't realise what i'd found (trust in me)
All i need is for you to know
Oooh you're in my soul
Love is a lesson hard to learn
Pain is a fire that keeps on burning
Come back baby (i'm gonna give you)
Oooh oooh
Pride is a wall that we can climb
Baby hold on together we'll find
Life and soul
Ayone who hurts you hurts me too
And all i want is
That life is good to you
And whether i am near or far away
I'm with you every, everyday
I know i let you down (trust in me)
Didn't realise what i'd found (trust in me)
All i need is for you to know
You're in my soul
Love is a lesson hard to learn
Pain is a fire that keeps on burning
Come back baby (i'm gonna give you)
Oooh oooh
Pride is a wall that we can climb
Baby hold on together we'll find
Life and soul

Did i say something wrong
Well if i've hurt you then tell me now
Don't let your fear surround you
Why don't you talk to me

Well i know what you want
And i know what you need
But believe me baby
They may not be the same
Think it over

Deep in my heart
There's a place that only you can find
But still there's a part
Of my life wrapped in confusion
I can't tell you i'm in love
But i can't stand to lose you
Please believe me when i say i do
I believe in you, believe in you

Some people believe in love
I'd rather believe in something real
Something that lasts forever
That's why i'm still with you

So you're head over heals
And i know now it feels
But believe me baby
It won't be the same
When it's over

Deep in my heart
There's a place that only you can find
But still there's a part
Of my life wrapped in confusion
I can't tell you i'm in love
But i can't stand to lose you
Please believe me when i say i do
I believe in you, believe in you

These worlds i say aren't meant to hurt
I only want to save you pain
We'll find a way
To change your heart
And throw away these chains of love

Written by ricki & kim wilde

A while ago you looked at me
And said there'd come a time
You'd have to go away
You put it on the line
And told me we should only
Take each moment day by day

Well i know that there's a time in life
When people change
And go their separate ways
But i miss you, more each day

You're a million miles away
But i feel you in my heart
Though it hurt to leave that way
We'll we knew that from the start
Cos you never did pretend
Our love would never end

There is no way to love
No rules that we can follow
Nothing simple or defined
We make our own
And some we borrow
Hoping it won't end
But darling now we know
We've got no-where left to go

You're a million miles away
But i feel you in my heart
Through it hurt to leave that way
Well we knew that from the start
Cos you never did pretend
Our love would never end
Our love would never end

And if i travelled to the stars
Would i find out where you are
Touch the secret in your heart
And set it free
Or would you turn away
Cos i miss you more each day

You're a million miles away
But i feel you in my heart
Through it hurt to leave that way
Well we knew that from the start
Cos you never did pretend
Our love would never end
Our love would never end

Darlin' don't you know i've had enough
Wasting all my time
Darlin' put it on the line
Cos i heard you lying time and time again
Ooh and i don't want to any more
This is where our loving has to end
Darlin' now you know the score
So goodbye baby

Hey mr heartache how much can you fake
How many hearts break before you get enough
Hey mr heartache you don't give you just take
I hope for your sake you don't turn your back on love

Darlin' don't know what you're looking for
But i'm not waiting around to see
Darlin' can't take any more
I still love you but i'm gonna set you free
Ooh that's the way it's got to be
Cos i know i can't change you anyway
Darlin' there's nothing left to say
But goodbye baby

Hey mr heartache how much can you fake
How many hearts break before you get enough
Hey mr heartache you don't give you just take
I hope for your sake you don't turn your back on love

Listen to me, so listen to me
Ooh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Cos i was stupid to believe
You could give me what i need
You use anyone you can
Yet you call yourself a man
We'll seen through your disguise
And it's all that i despise
Now you've just run out of time
Go before i change my mind

Hey mr heartache, cos i love you baby
Hey mr heartache i still love you baby

I still love you but i'm gonna set you free
Ooh that's the way it's got to be
Cos i know i can't change you anyway
Darlin' there's nothing left to say
But goodbye baby

Junior:you don't know what i'm going through
You got me wrong, oh so wrong
Think you've sown me up
But you're so wrong

Come on now
You don't know what i'm going through, baby

Sweet inspiration
Through the nation
With elation for your love
Inspiration, sweet sensation

You really do something special to me
And there's nothing better
Than when you're lying in my arms
So glad we got together
I never needed nobody
Until you came along
And this feeling's so strong
I should be working on something
But i ain't got the time
I've got you on my mind
Sweet inspiration
Baby you're my, sweet inspiration
Baby you're my, sweet inspiration
Baby you're my, sweet inspiration

The thought of you gives me butterflies
And i feel so happy
Whenever you reach out for me
This is how it should be
And i've just got to be with you
Nothing else can compare
Just as long as you're there
And i'll never desert you
Cos you fill me with pride
Baby you changed my life
Sweet inspiration
Baby you're my, sweet inspiration
Baby you're my, sweet inspiration
Baby you're my, sweet inspiration

When i can't think clearly
Just one kiss is all i need
Then i look in your eyes
And i know, i know, i know, i'm yours

Alright - now we're alone
I know you're expecting me
To tell you all that i've been through
Oh sorry, it takes so long
And anyway, it's hurting me
So don't ask, it might hurt you too
Maybe i'm the fool
To turn down the love you're offering

Thanks - but love's a no (my baby)
There's too much at stake
It's too soon i know (my baby)
And just too much to take

Sometimes - i get scared
Loving on my own again
Some days i just want to cry
Memories won't set me free
Those memories of how it used to be

Thanks - but love's a no (my baby)
There's too much at stake
It's too soon i know (my baby)
And just too much to take

No - it wasn't always like this
I used to be the one who was smart
I was a hard girl
I couldn't get caught - i was strong
Oh - but then i got hurt
How i got hurt
Oh darlin' - take a little time with me
Darlin' - take a little time
Just a little time

One day - i don't know when
Maybe we can try again
Maybe all i need is time
Hold me then say goodbye
Don't hate me - for all the things i've said

Thanks - but love's a no (my baby)
There's too much at stake
It's too soon i know (my baby)
And just too much to take

Oh darlin' take a little time with me
Oh darlin' take a little time
Just a little time

You lay me down in satin sheets softly
You're movin' slow
It's gonna be everything just for me
I know how you want to love me

Your love is sweet, i'm going down easy
But i don't know
What i'm doing here anyway, it's not me
I don't like what i feel
It's so oh woh unreal
You better leave

You go i call the stranger in black
But can't you see you're on the wrong track
Tonight i face the danger of love that knows no promises
Alive i know i'm not coming back

Bitter is better
I gotta stop and walk away
Bitter is better
Your kind of love is not for me
Bitter is better
Locked away in your lovin' sweetness
Lost the key and i just don't need this

I'm not the woman you were looking for anyway
High on a pedestal, lillywhite
Givin' me diamond rings
You're just too much for me
I'll lose my sanity
You better leave

Written by kim wilde & tony swain

In the day i can smile though i wanna die
I hold on, hold on
I can keep it together for a little while
And be strong, so strong
But when the sun goes down and i'm all alone
I haven't the strength to fight
That's when my tears give into the night
Tell me how, how much loneliness can one heart take
Without the chance that it will break in two
And why i'm holding on to a love that has gone
Tell me how to carry on

I believed that meeting you would be my destiny
Your love would come to set me free
So why am i left standing here alone
Won't you please come and take me home

Tears give into the night
In the day i can smile though i wanna die
Tears give into the night
I can keep it together for a litttle while
In the day i can smile though i wanna die
Tears give into the night
