T.L.C.
|
Hey, I'm sorry 'bout last night
I was wrong to start a fight
Now I feel so bad
I know you're mad
But, please love, hold me tight
'cause I need you
Tender loving care
is the only
Remedy when you're down
And you're lonely
T.L.C.
Won't you give it to me
Tender loving care
and you know it
That's what I want
I beg you to show it
T.L.C.
Won't you give it to me
I know I'm a fool
And I talk too loud
I drink and I smoke
Till I'm in a cloud
But I don't pretend
When I say I'm your friend
You're quiet and stern
As you potter about
Determined and grim
Like you're moving out
Don't leave me this way
Oh, how I want you to stay
'cause I need you
Tender loving care...
I know I'm no good
And I let you down
Every time I behave
Like a godamn clown
I know it's a shame
And I'm solely to blame
Your face is so pale
And your eyes resigned
I'm forever the fool
And forever blind
But I promise I'll change
Oh baby, don't look so strange
'cause I need you
Tender loving care...
Only you have seen my tears
You're the one who knows my fears
Please forgive me now
Remember how
I've loved you all these years
And I still do
Tender loving care... |

Beat the Heat
|
My feet can feel the pavement
Turn to a hot-plate
The city streets
Are nearly melting away
This is July
Sirocco winds are coming down
From the sky
The dogs are panting
Like they're finding it hard
To stay alive
I know that you're gonna be
My remedy
Hiding from the glowing sky
I know baby you and I can
Beat the heat
We're fighting it with fire
Only love can see through
Every little kiss from you can
Beat the heat
I'm burning with desire
Don't take your love away
Finally we've found a way to
Beat the heat
You can do it
Come on, come on, come on
Beat the heat
I watch the people
as they're drawing their blinds
They try to hide away
Can't take any more
This is July
Some get together cooling down
In the shade
And noone hardly ever moves
At this time of the day
I know that you're gonna be
My remedy
Hiding from the glowing sky... |

Mio My Mio
|
Flying through the garden
Garden of the roses
And the silver poplars
I can see a bird
It is the bird of sorrow
I hear the bird of sorrow
Singing of the long lost
Land of faraway
And my heart is trembling
Then I hear my father say
Mio my Mio
High above the garden
Garden of the roses
I can see a big bird
Making for the sky
It is the bird of sorrow
Singing about tomorrow
I must leave the garden
I must go away
And my heart is trembling
Then I hear my father say
Mio my Mio |

Ghost Town
|
As I was driving home
One night in late December
The snow began to fall
I lived a nightmare that
I always will remember
The darkest of them all
The snow was coming down in droves
And the frost
Was sticking to my windscreen
And I was lost
Then, before me
When the storm at last subsided
I saw an awesome sight
Ghost town
Deadly white
Frozen in the silence
Of the winter night
Ghost town
Heaven knows
What becomes of people
When the wild wind blows
I stopped the car and took
A frantic look around me
That's when the engine died
That sinking feeling of
Despair will always hound me
No matter how I tried
The wretched motor still
Refused to ignite
A sence of menace loomed
In the pale moonlight
And I've never felt
So helpless and so lonely
I never knew such fright
Ghost town
Deadly white
Frozen in the silence
Of the winter night
Ghost town
Nothing there
Empty windows staring
At you everywhere
Ghost town
Dead and cold
Burial ground of secrets
And of tales untold
Ghost town
Heaven knows
What becomes of people
When the wild wind blows
A door crashed open
Spilling light and raucous laughter
Into the moonlit street
And in the beam of light
A shadow seconds after
The sound of shuffling feet
The shape was slowly
Coming closer, it seemed
Mysteriously familiar
And how I screamed
When the moonlight briefly
Fell upon its features
I stared at my own face
Ghost town
Haunted place
With eternal winter
Locked in cold embrace
Ghost town
Heaven knows
What becomes of people
When the wild wind blows
Ghost town
Nothing there
Empty windows staring
At you everywhere
Ghost town
Deadly white
Frozen in the silence
Of the winter night
Ghost town
Burial ground of secrets
And of tales untold
What becomes of people
When the wild wind blows |

I Am the Universe
|
She treats herself to a measure of delusion
She sees no harm in a foolish dream
The world awash with disaster and confusion
Should she adjust to the going scheme
She's got the gall to carry no weight at all
She moves with ease and instinctive grace
When she's alone she's never quite on her own
She say to me I am free
I am the moon
I am the earth
I am the sun
I am the universe
With every shining
Star in heaven
I'm at one
I am the universe
I drag my feet through her life with endless pity
You'll drive yourself till your brain explodes
She's got the guts to disregard ifs and buts
She seems to tread on enchanted ground
She's like a stream, a river of light she seems
She says to me I am free
I am the moon
I am the earth
I am the sun
I am the universe
With every shining
Star in heaven
I'm at one
I am the universe |

Sniffin' Out the Snakes
|
What you see ain't what you get
Looks could be deceiving
Delusive love is where it's at, love
Every time you're leaving me
Don't give me your white lies
I'm not one of those guys
I have a way of sniffin' out the snakes, baby
I don't believe in any fairytales
Experience of sniffin' out the snakes, baby
My intuition never fails
You think you fooled me, fooled me
But you made mistakes
Playin' all the games I knew
I can't make it up with you
No can do
You just wait, I'll pick my time
I'm not yours for keepin'
I know you have a busy line
When you sau you're sleepin', girl
You must pay for your fun
You're shot with your own gun
I have a way of sniffin' out the snakes, baby...
You can't go on or turn back
And you can't cover your tracks
I have a way of sniffin' out the snakes, baby
I don't believe in any fairytales
Experience of sniffin' out the snakes, baby
My intuition never fails
You think you fooled me, fooled me
But you made mistakes, baby
Hold on to your heart just in case it breaks, baby
I have a way of sniffin' out the snakes, baby
No second thoughts 'bout doing what it takes, baby
You think you fooled me but you made mistakes, baby |

I'm a Bitch When I See Red
|
Well, I've washed your laundry
And I've ironed your shirts
Putting up with being
Only the wife
While you did your thing
And never let me live my life
I've listened to your problems
And I've waited up
With your dinner getting cold
'cause I was stupid enough
To think together
We'd grow old
And now you've found
Another woman
And she's better than me
In oh so many ways
I was your mother, your friend
And all I'm getting is
A slap in the face
So you find her more exciting
Well, I think you've lost your head
And I plan to keep on fighting
I'm a bitch when I see red
She's got style, you say
And she's never ever
Boring or plain
And compared to me
She's all caviar and champagne
And she's always willing
To fulfill your needs
With an urge that never fails
She's never got a headache
And she's never got broken nails
So you find her more exciting
Well, I think you've lost your head
And I plan to keep on fighting
I'm a bitch when I see red
So with her at last you're living
And with me it's dull and dead
Well, I won't be all forgiving
I'm a bitch when I see red
When the novelty's
Wearing off
Where d'you think
You're gonna be
When you find she wants
A home and kids
Just like me
When she finds
You're not the man
She thought you were
But a liar and a cheat
I can hardly wait
My revenge will be so sweet
So you find her more exciting...
So you say your love has faded
And you're taking that woman instead
I'm insulted and degraded
And I tell you, I see red |

There's No Way to Fool a Heart
|
And you'll never find a way to fool a heart
Baby, never find a way to rule a heart
If you want my love just say it
I think it's time to lay it on the line
Tell me, do you want to play this guessing game
Baby, every time the answer's still the same
And our hearts already know it
They found a way to show it one more time
Why are we trying
There's no denying love
Who are we fooling
We knew it from the start
That - there's no way to fool a heart
Blinded, or just afraid to see
But take a look at you and me
We fight the night but after all
What our eyes can't see
Our senses will feel
Oh, don't you know that love is like a windfall
And you'll never find a way to fool a heart
Baby, don't you know a heart is much too smart
Do we need an instant replay
To find that words that we say speak of love
Anticipating
What are we waiting for
Why are we playing
We'll never stay apart
'cause there's no way to fool a heart
Blinded, or just afraid to see
But take a look at you and me
And you'll never find a way to fool a heart
Baby, never find a way to rule a heart... |

Wild About That Girl
|
Turbo lightning
Striking me
And I'm falling
Like a tree
Cool and calm
And collected
Prouder than a queen
Standing at the bar
Beside me
Girl, where have
You been
Legs that never stop
And streaming hair
I've been searching
Everywhere
I'm wild about that girl
I'm wild about that woman
Look at the way she's
Holding her head
Sexy enough to
Wake the dead
I'm wild about that girl
I'm wild about that woman
She is a goddess
She is divine
And I intend to
Make her mine
I can't let her
Walk away
But I don't know
What to say
She's a regular stunner
Time is rushing by
Gotta make a move
And quickly
But my mouth is dry
Just as I'm about
To take my chance
She says: Would you like to dance
I'm wild about that girl... |

Nearly There
|
A faint attraction
A flicker of desire
But not substantial
Enough to light a fire
That's all it was
All it had a chance to be
That's what I thought
But it came out differently
And now I feel something grow
I feel strange
I don't know where I'm going
And it's you
You're such a revelation
You could really make me care
Keep on baby 'cause you're
Nearly there
I can feel no hesitation
Don't stop baby, don't you dare
Keep on going 'cause you're
Nearly there
You meet a stranger
It happens all the time
A certain interest
You get along just fine
When least expected
There's something going on
A funny feeling
Indifference all but gone
I was a true nonbeliever
Now I feel the symptoms of fever
Must be you
You're such a revelation... |
