What's Love Got To Do With It/Foreign Affair

You can run and you can hide
You can tell me you're untrue
You can play around with my feelings
Say you found somebody new
But there's one thing you can't do
You can't stop me loving you

You know I love you baby
Why do you treat me this way
I don't deserve this kind of treatment
And I'd have been so good like a lover should
And I'd have loved you anyway

You can run and you can hide
You can tell me you're untrue
You can play around with my feelings
Say you found somebody new
But there's one thing you can't do
You can't stop me loving you

You're gonna drive me crazy honey
Why are you so blind
Cool, aw you think you're so cool now, baby
But you just can't see all the love in me
When I give you all the time

I know I'm gonna be fine
You ain't gonna pull my chain
I ain't gonna change my mind

How do you feel baby
I bet you feel real tall
Why did you leave your manhunt, honey
When I give you love and it's not enough
And you try to make me look small

I was thinking about parking the other night
We was out on a back road
My and my woman was just getting' right
All systems on overload
The radio blasting in the front seat
Turning out the music fine
We was snuggled up in the back seat
Making up for lost time

Steamy windows - zero visibility
Steamy windows - coming from the body heat

You can wine and dine a woman all night
With good intent
But there's something about a confrontation on a back road
Breaks down the defense

Steamy windows - ain't nobody can see
Steamy windows - coming from the body heat

There's a sound outside the front door
And I know it's just the wind
But it makes her snuggle up just a little bit closer
And it starts things happening again

Steamy windows - zero visibility
Steamy windows - coming from the body heat
Steamy windows - steamy windows

Last night we tried to touch but we never got close
Last night we tried to talk, the words got caught in our throats
When we finally fell asleep
We couldn't have been further apart

Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby look me in the heart
And you'll see that I'm so crazy about you baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart
Look me in the heart

You try to say that I'm hiding from you
You act like a spy always looking for clues
You've read about my past
But why don't we try to make a new start

Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby look me in the heart
And you'll see that I'm so crazy about you baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart
Look me in the heart

Remember how good we used to be together
Remember baby, so be tender baby
Remember the love we said would last forever
I know we can make it like that again

You must understand though 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 a 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

I call you,when I need you my hearts on fire
You come to me, come to me, wild and wild

You come to me, give me everything I need
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak the language of love like you know what it means
And it can't be wrong, take my heart and make it strong, baby

[Chorus]
You're simply the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone
I've ever met!
I'm stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby I would rather be dead

In your heart I see the start of every night and every day
In your eyes, I get lost, I gte washed away
Just as long as I'm here in your arms I could be in no better place...

[Chorus]

It's the time you leave me I start losing control, you're walking away with my
Heart and my soul, I can feel you even when I'm alone, oh baby don't let go!

And your the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone I've
Ever met!
I'm stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby I would rather be dead, ooh you're the best!

There's a pale moon in the sky
The kind you make your wishes on
Like the light in your eyes
The one I built my dreams upon
It's not there any longer
Something happened somewhere
And we both know why
But me, I'm getting stronger
We must stop pretending
I can't live this life

I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really want to fight no more (Too much talking babe)
Let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really want to fight no more (This is time for letting go)

I hear a whisper in the air
It simply doesn't bother me
Can't you see that I don't care
Or are you you looking right through me
Seems to me that lately
You look at me the wrong way and I start to cry
Could it be that maybe
This crazy situation is the reason why

I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't reaaly want to fight no more (Too much talking babe)
Let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really want to fight no more (Tired of all these games)
But baby don't you know
That I don't want to hurt no more (It's time, I'm walking babe)
Don't care now who's to blame
I don't really want to fight no more (This is time for letting go)

Hanging on to the past
It only stands in our way
We had to grow for our love to last
But we just grew apart
No, I don't want to hurt no more

But baby don't you know
No I don't want to hurt no more (Too much talking babe)
Don't care now who's to blame
I don't really want to fight no more (Tired of all these games)
I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really want to fight no more (It's time, I'm walking babe)
So let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really want to fight no more (This is time for letting go)

I'm a new pair of eyes
Every time I am born
An original mind
Because I just died

And I'm scanning the horizon for someone recognizing
That I might have been queen
For every sun that sets there is a new one dawning
For every empire crushed there is a brand new nation

Let the waters rise
I've ridden each tide
From the gates of the city
Where the first born died

And I might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
Oh but the river won't stop for me
No the river won't stop for me

I'm a new pair of eyes
An original mind
With my senses of old
And the heart of a giant

And I'm searching through the wreckage
For some great recollection
That I might have been queen

For every sage that falls
There's an ancient child

And I might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
Oh but the river won't stop for me
No the river won't stop for me

I look up to the stars with my perfect memory
I lived through it all, and my future's no shock to me
I look down, but I see no tragedy
I look up to my past, my spirit running free
I look down, I look down, and I'm there in history
Oh I'm a soul survivor

(Soul survivor on the river, but it won't stop)
I might have been queen!
(Soul survivor on the river, but it won't stop)
I know the secret combination

A one in a million chance
You know the moment that you crossed over the line
A casual glance
No one has to read between the lines
In the south of France it was spring time
Special feelings come alive
There's romance in the air, so they say
Love could be a small cafe away

Love is a piece of cake
And making love is all there is to eat
It's a heart out of a lamb
When you start to feel forever in a kiss
But you must remember there's no point of refuge
You only have a part in a lover's play
And you could be the one left in the dark
If someone takes a shortcut to your heart

All too soon you're touching for the last time
No one has to tell you how it is
It's just a memory two people share
File it under foreign affair
