Is It a Crime
|
|
This may come, this may come as some surprise but I miss you I could see through, all of your lies But I still miss you He takes her love, but it doesn't feel like mine He tastes her kiss, her kisses are not wine, they're not mine He takes, but surely she can't give what I'm feeling now She takes, but surely she doesn't know how Is it a crime Is it a crime That I still want you And I want you to want me too My love is wider, wider than victoria lake My love is taller, taller than the empire state It dives and it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back Is it a crime Is it a crime That I still want you And I want you to want me too My love is wider than victoria lake Taller than the empire state It dives and it jumps I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back Is it a crime Is it a crime That I still want you And I want you to want me too It dives and it jumps And it ripples like the deepest Ocean I can't give you more than that Surely you want me back Tell me Is it a crime |

The Sweetest Taboo
|
|
If I tell you If I tell you now Will you keep on Will you keep on loving me If I tell you If I tell you how I feel Will you keep bringing out the best in me You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo Too good for me There's a quiet storm And it never felt like this before There's a quiet storm That is you There's a quiet storm And it never felt this hot before Giving me something that's taboo (Sometimes I think you're just too good for me) You give me the sweetest taboo That's why I'm in love with you You give me the sweetest taboo Sometimes I think you're just too good for me I'd do anything for you, I'd stand out in the rain Anything you want me to do, don't let it slip away There's a quiet storm And it never felt like this before There'a a quiet storm I think it's you There'a a quiet storm And I never felt this hot before Giving me something that's taboo You give me the sweetest taboo That's why I'm in love with you You give me, you're giving me the sweetest taboo Too good for me You've got the biggest heart Sometimes I think you're just too good for me Every day is Christmas, and every night is new years eve Will you keep on loving me Will you keep on, will you keep on Bringing out the best in me |

War of the Hearts
|
|
I could aim But I could not fire Got a bullet to spare To kill my desire Who's calling the shots One of us must make the Peace To have or to have not The fire has got to cease I'm loaded Don't know where to point this thing It's a sin How we hit where it hurts Who's calling the shots One of us must end this masquerade To have or to have not Let's heal the wounds that we've made It'a a war of the heart (it's a war of the heart) It's a war of the heart Got a bullet to space, don't wanna send it your way Who's calling the shots One of us, must make the peace To have or to have not The fire has got to cease It'a a war of the heart (it's a war of the heart) It's a war of the heart I'm loaded Don't know where to point this thing (it's a sin) It's a sin How we hit where it hurts (where it hurts) One of us Gotta end this masquerade Got to heal the wounds that we've made I've got a bullet to spare Don't want to send it your way If you want to end it If you want to end it just say It'a a war of the heart (it's a war of the heart) It's a war of the heart (Got to end this masqurade) I've got a bullet to spare Don't want to send it your way If you want to end it If you want to end it just say It'a a war of the heart It's a war of the heart It'a a war of the heart |

You're Not the Man
|
|
You're not the man who gave me everything I've ever wanted You're not the man Who stepped inside my life And haunted every, every day You're not the man Who said he'd never leave Couldn't breathe And could not sleep without me This was someone who you left behind A long time ago You're not the man Who would bleed for me But never shed a tear You're not the one Said he'd always be near You're not the man Who threw me a lifeline And you're not the man I am so proud to call mine And you're not the one Who said he'd never leave The one who made me believe in me That was someone who could do no wrong But you lost him You're not the man Who would bleed for me But never shed a tear You're not the one Who said he'd always, always, always be here said he'd always always be near But don't get me wrong Although it seems sad It's not all bad You see I'm not the little girl I use to be You're not the man Not the one Who said he'd always, always, always be near He was everything you see He made me believe in me Said he'd alway always always be here |

Jezebel
|
|
Jezebel wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth She probably had less than every one of us But when she knew how to walk she knew How to bring the house down Can't blame her for her beauty She wins with her hands down Jezebel, what a belle Looks like a princess in her new dress How did you get that Do you really want to know, she said It would seem she's on her way It's more, more than just a dream She put on her stockings and shoes Had nothing to lose - she said it was worth it Reach for the top And the sun is gonna shine Every winter was a war she said I want to get what's mine Jezebel Jezebel Won't try to deny where she came from You can see it in her pride And the raven in her eyes Try show her a better way She'll say you don't know what you've been missing And by the time she blinks you know she won't be listening Reach for the top she said And the sun is gonna shine Every winter was a war she said I want to get what's mine |

Mr. Wrong

|
He don't care Where he's been playing He doesn't hear A word she's saying She's a fancy girl So why's she staying Hanging on for Mr. Wrong He doesn't show her that he needs her She doesn't know his love's a liar She'a a fancy girl - got to be strong Say so long - Mr. Wrong Get out on your own girl Show him how You can be strong girl You don't need him now Run away, pretty girl Say so long - Mr. wrong Run away Bye bye |

Never as Good as the First Time
|
|
Good times they come and they go Never going to know What fate is going to blow You're way just hope it feels right Sometimes it comes and it goes You take it ever so slow And then you lose it, then it flows right to you So we rely on the past Special moments that last Were they as tender as we dare to remember Such a fine time as this What could equal the bliss The thrill of the first kiss It'll blow right to you It's never as good as the first time Never as good as the first time Good times they come and they go Never going to know It's like the weather One day chicken next day feathers The rose we remember The thorns we forget We'd love and leave We never spend a minute on regret It is a possibility The more we know the less we see Second time, second time is not quite what it seems Natural as the way we came to be Second time won't live up to the dream It's never as good as the first time Never as good as the first time Natural as the way we came to be Second time won't live up to the dream Natural as the way we came to be Second time is not quite what it seemed It's never As good as the first time As the first time (Never as good as the first time) The First time Natural as the way we came to be Second time won't live up to the dream Natural as the way we came to be Second time is not quite what it seemed It's never As good as the first time As the first time (never as good as the first time) The first time |

Fear

Blue is the color of the red sky Will he, will he come home tonite Blue is the color that she feels inside Matador, I can't hide my fear anymore Azul es el color del rojo cielo volvera volvera a mi esta noche Azul es el color que siente a dentro matador no puedo esconder mi temor Can she tame the beast that is her fear puede domar la fiera que es su temor Waiting for her matador Will they bring the bad news Blue is the color that she feels inside Matador I can't hide my fear anymore Azul es el color del rojo cielo volvera, volvera a mi esta noche Azul es el color que siente a dentro Matador no puedo esconder mi temor |

Tar Baby
|
|
Granma came to see Something she could not believe How could her girl be So naive Tar baby, tar baby told The secret she conceived That big old smile of yours Could turn the wind into a song How could I have doubted Honey it's with me you belong Tar baby, tar baby I love you so Like a brand new blade You cut into my life Cut through two decades Like a hot coal on ice Tar baby, my tar baby It maybe was meant to be When I look at you I can't believe my eyes And with your magic I think you just might charm the birds out of the sky Tar baby, tar baby, tar baby Came good out of grief A golden thread inside of the web That I got caught in Oh, it's a lover's revenge, but out of the pain Come the best things you see You cut into my life You cut into my life (baby baby baby baby don't you know that) You cut into my life (I love you) You cut into my life La la la la la ooh You can turn the wind into a song La la la la la baby baby baby It's with me you belong |

Maureen It's hard to explain I'm never going to see you again And you'll never meet my new friends Maureen, I miss you I just can't explain I'm never going to see you again I wish you could meet my new friends Walking along the subway listening to Loving you is easy acapella You were a souped-up car in that rent-a-go-kart town And I miss you, Maureen We're as thick as thieves Maureen maureen Remember when my mother said to me Sade don't you come home to late Till you're back I stay awake And maureen With the boys you could tell at a glance You'd say he looks good Let'd hope he can dance Wicky wacky party to the.. Where are we going tonight And what will you be wearing Shone like a souped-up car in that rent-a-go-kart town And I miss you maureen, I miss you girl You were my best friend I'm never going to see you again, maureen And you'll never meet my new friends You really were a pearl in my world, maureen Maureen It's hard to explain You'll never call round to see me again You'll never meet my new friends Never meet my new friends Never meet my new friends Never meet my new friends |
