Lyrics

Rosanna
05:33
Also available on:
All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see your eyes
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me, Rosanna

All I wanna do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know you were looking for more than I could ever be

Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna yeah
Now she's gone and I have to say
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah

I can see your face still shining through the window on the other side
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad, Rosanna

All I wanna tell you is now you'll never ever have to compromise
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad

Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna yeah
Now she's gone and I have to say
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah
Make Believe
03:47
Also available on:
Why don't we make believe we're in love again
Who said the crimson moon doesn't shine
Where do people go when they're lookin' for that one of a kind

Why don't we make believe that we're sorry
Why must we hold it all inside
Where do lovers go when they're runnin' and there's no place to hide

Always remember - the day we met in the foreign rain
You were content and - we went our seperate ways
No matter which way the wind blows now, hang on to it anyhow
Don't ever say it could never be the same

Why don't we make believe we're in love again
Who said the crimson moon doesn't shine
Where do people go when they're lookin' for that one of a kind

Always remember - holding hands on a summer day
You were content and - you took it all away
I didn't come here to change your mind, lead you on and waste your time
All alone in the evening, gettin' blue

Why don't we make believe

Why don't we make believe we're in love again
Who said the crimson moon doesn't shine
Where do people go when they're lookin' for that one of a kind

Why don't we make believe, why don't we make believe
I Won't Hold You Back
04:56
Also available on:
If I had another chance tonight
I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right
Time can't erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared

Now you're gone, I'm really not the same
I guess I have myself to blame
Time can't erase the things we said
But it gives me time to realize that you're the one instead

You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now

Now that I'm alone it gives me time
to think about the years that you were mine
Time can't erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared

You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now

You know I won't hold you back now,
the love we had just can't be found
Listen to me baby
You know I can't hold you back now
Good for You
03:19
If you're a dream, sun don't you rise
I never been lost, so deep into eyes
I won't give up until you give in
But I know you must realize

I could be good for you
You could be good for me too, yeah
I could be good for you
You could be good for me too

Everyone knows, but they don't know why
How much with a smile, you satisfy
Stars only shine, the way that you feel
So there is no reason to wonder why

I could be good for you
You could be good for me too, yeah
I could be good for you
You could be good for me too
It's a Feeling
03:10
It's a feeling, I don't belong here
But a man's on the outside looking in
Wondering who's in his old armchair

It's a feeling, you never belonged to me
First you're on the up 'n up
I only look down and see
Only look down and see

You're fighting me, you knew me, all desires
No lock or key can hide the truth
You're keeping from mee

It's a feeling, you never belonged to me
First you're on the up 'n up
I only look down and see
Only look down and see
Afraid of Love
03:53
You stole my heart the moment you came to town
I said hello but you were gone when I turned around
You can't get away, can't get away, even if you try now
I wanna tell you but the words just can't be found

I like the way you move and just the way you are
I can't take anymore, 'cos girl, you're pushin' too hard
You can't get away, can't let you go, what's a boy to do now
You got me askin' myself how I survived this far

I gotta get away from you, girl
'Cos I've never been afraid of love 'til I met you
Never thought a girl could make me feel the way you do
Never been afraid of - never been afraid of love 'til I met you
Ooh, yes you say

Can't be something that you never ever had
When I stop and think about you, it makes me laugh
You took me by surprise, I saw it in your eyes, I never had a chance, girl
Now that I see what you are, it doesn't hurt so bad

I gotta get away from you, girl
'Cos I've never been afraid of love 'til I met you
Never thought a girl could make me feel the way you do
Never been afraid of - never been afraid of love 'til I met you
Ooh, yes you say
Lovers in the Night
04:26
It's just the soul that matters, and I don't know why
You know she's gonna make you cry, you know she's gonna make you cry
She'll have you walk beneath the ladder you were meant to climb
You know she's gonna make you try, you know she's gonna make you try

Ooh, you know we're lovers in the night
Ooh, you know we're lovers in the night

It's just the soul that matters, and keeps her satisfied
You know she's gonna make you cry, you know she's gonna make you cry
She'll have you wishin' that you had her come rain or shine
You know she's gonna make you try, ooh, you know she's gonna make you high

Ooh, you know we're lovers in the night
Ooh, you know we're lovers in the night

It's just the soul that matters, and keeps her satisfied
You know she's gonna make you cry, you know she's gonna make you cry
She'll have you wishin' that you had her come your way to shine
You know she's

Ooh, you know we're lovers in the night
Ooh, you know we're lovers in the night
We Made It
03:58
Bad time for love - you caught me on your birthday
I could feel your heart break into a hundred pieces
We were too torn apart, now it seems so senseless
And if we're clever, we'll put it together, it may be forever

We made it, made it, made it before
I know that we can make it again
We made it, made it, made it before
I know that we can make it again

Down on my luck, you arrived just in time, my angel
Thought you'd given me up, like a rhyme that needs no reason
I want you enough to keep my life untangled
If we're clever, we'll put it together, 'cos it may be forever

We made it, made it, made it before
I know that we can make it again
We made it, made it, made it before
I know that we can make it again

I want you enough to keep my life untangled
If we're clever, we'll put it together, 'cos it may be forever

We made it, made it, made it before
I know that we can make it again
We made it, made it, made it before
I know that we can make it again

If ever we'll make it, we're gonna make it girl
And I know we can take it, we got to take it, girl

If ever we can make it, we gotta make it
And I know we can take it...
Waiting for Your Love
04:13
Hands, don't let her go, 'cause then the midnight icy winds will blow
Eyes, give every drop, to send a wave that's sure to make her stop
Arms, just let her know, no one fills the place she used to grow
Smile, don't leave me now, 'cos you're the reason she's here anyhow

Words, be gentle when you speak into her heart
'Cos if it breaks, she may not come again

I've been waitin' for your love and it's been here all the time
Right in front of me
I've been sittin', waitin' for your love, and all the time it's been here
Right in front of me

Look, forget your pride, she might kiss as you're like even tide
Song, be in her heart, 'specially when we're apart
Luck, be by my side, 'cos if she leaves there ain't no place to hide
Soul, be with her now, 'cos you're the first one she knew anyhow

Words, be gentle when you speak into her heart
'Cos if it breaks, she may not come again

I've been waitin' for your love and it's been here all the time
Right in front of me
I've been sittin', waitin' for your love, and all the time it's been here
Right in front of me

Words be gentle when you speak into her heart
'Cos if it breaks, she may not come again

I've been sittin', waitin' for your love
And all the time it's been here right in front of me
Draw the line, I'll step across, even further I give in, you got me, yeah
I've been sittin', waitin' for your love

And all the time it's been here right in front of me, yeah
Just separated by ten thousand miles, you're not alone, girl you got me, yeah
Guess I needn't tell you that I'm not around, I'm inside, you got me, yeah
I've been waitin' for your love, it's been here all the time
Right in front of me
Africa
05:00
Also available on:
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
