In the heat of the night

In the heat of the night
I call your name
But you’re not here
I call in vain
In the heat of the heart
You are the flame
Burning brightly
I feel the pain.

There was once a time
When you and I
Burnt like fire
Across the sky
But I’m alone
And you have gone
Days are short
Nights are long.

Take it like a man

You treat me like a fool
Always know what’s best
Think that you are cool
Better than all the rest
Bow now I’m gonna go
Its time that I ran
And so I say to you
Take it like a man.

Chorus

Take it like a man
Take it like a man
Do the best you can
Take it like a man

You used to keep me down
Thought you were real neat
Believed I was your clown
Ate the crumbs at your feet
But now the tables turned
You’re the one who cries
Respect must be earned
Don’t earn it telling lies

Chorus

Take it like a man
Take it like a man
Do the best you can
Take it like a man

Take it like a man
‘cos I’m over you
Take it like a man
Get a life that’s new
Take it like a man
Don’t crawl along the ground
Take it like a man
‘cos I won’t be around.

You and me against it all.

When I was lost
You always found
The me I was
The solid ground
You gave to me
You stood me tall
You stood by me
Against it all.

Through long cold days
And lonely nights
You held my hand
You held me tight
When I was beat
When I would fall
You stood by me
Against it all.

And when the sun
Hung in the sky
And life was good
You didn’t lie
You held my life
I heard your call
You stood by me
Against it all.

And now the sun
Slips down the hill
But you are here
You are with me still
I’m wrapped around
By your love’s shawl
You stand by me
Against it all.

Your angel tonight

All the nights
All the days
All the worries
All the ways
Let me be
Your angel tonight.

All the loves
All the songs
All the lies
All the wrongs
Let me be
Your angel tonight.

All the times
Al the fears
All the laughter
All the tears
Let me be
Your angel tonight.

All the hurt
All the pain
All the passion
All the strain
Let me be
Your angel tonight.

All the good
All the bad
All the days
We were sad
Let me be
Your angel tonight.

Now its time
For us to part
Time can mend
A broken heart
I can’t be
Your angel tonight.

Walking in the rain

Why do I walk in the rain
You’re always asking me
You think I don’t feel pain
You think that you are free
And so I keep myself alone
Pretend I don’t feel pain
I can only cry my tears
When walking in the rain.

And its only when I cry
That I forget the past
I never did know why
Our love could not last
When I see you walking by
You always seem the same
You’ll never see me cry
I cry when in the rain.

You’ve got someone new
And I hear her name
I pretend I always knew
That I’m the one to blame
But walking rain soaked lanes
I sometimes just don’t try
To push away the pains
So in the rain I cry.

Walk into the sunset

Walk into the sunset
Walk into the past
Just walk away from me
We knew it couldn’t last.

Walk into the morning
Walk on out the door
Just walk away from me
I can’t take no more.

Walk into history
Walk out of my life
Just walk away from me
I never was your wife.

Walk into tomorrow
Walk out of today
Just walk away from me
I want you to stay away.

Walk into my memory
Slip away in the night
You know how I loved you
But you never treat me right.

I can’t help it

You ask me why
It must end
You say that you
Are still my friend
You ask me why
I’m going away
I just can’t help it
I don’t love you today.

You ask me why
I must go
You say that you
Still love me so
You ask me why
I can’t stay
I just can’t help it
I don’t love you today.

You ask me where
The love has gone
You say that yours
Was always strong
You ask me why
I can’t stay
I just can’t help it
I don’t love you today.

You ask me if
I’ll change my mind
You say that I
Am so unkind
You ask me why
Yesterday
I just can’t help it
I don’t love you today.

I love the way you love me.

I love the way you love me
I love the things you do
I love the way you love me
And I do the same to you.

I love the time together
We spend at your place
I’ll love you now forever
As I look in your face.

I love the love you give me
Each and every night
I love you being with me
You make it all alright.

I love the excitement
When you come back with me
I love the signals you send
When you come and set me free.

I love I love I love you
I love you more each day
I love I love I love you
I will never go away.

Big City

We didn’t know where we would stay
When we got off the bus
This was a very special day
The big city and just us.

We roamed around all over town
We didn’t stop to eat
The light the smell the cars sound
We never felt the heat.

But night it came to us
As it always does
But we loved our new game
The great big city and the two of us.

We hugged all night till break of day
On a bench in a park
The sun it took our cares away
And you, you took my heart.

I hear voices

I hear voices
Soft and low
Whisper to me
Wherever I go
I hear voices
In my head
In my car
In my head
I hear voices.

I hear voices
Telling me
Don’t be afraid
Let it be
I hear voices
Softly sigh
Every time
You tell a lie.

I hear voices
Every night
Talking to me
Until first light
I hear voices
And see you
I don’t know
What to do.

I hear voices
Clear and strong
Telling me
I’m going wrong
Now I know
They are true
My voices say
Goodbye to you.

Hold on to your dreams

Hold on to your dreams
When you’re starting to despair
Hold on to your dreams
When no one seems to care.

Hold on to your dreams
When all around is black
Hold on to your dreams
When they tell you to turn back.

Hold on to your dreams
When friends say play it cool
Hold on to your dreams
When you know you are a fool.

Hold on to your dreams
They’ll get you through the night
Hold on to your dreams
And it will be alright.

My heart just sings.

My heart just sings to a heavenly sound
My heart just flies when I know you’re around
You to me are like heaven above
You to me are the one I love.

Chorus

And I love you so
Ain’t gonna let you go
Don’t you know
That I love you so.

My head gets light when I see you come
You take away the clouds and bring the sun
You to me are my star of the night
You to me are a wonderful sight.

My soul sings out when you are here
My heart misses beats
When I know you’re near
You to me are the sun in the sky
You to me are the light in my eye.

Weapons of the heart.

I guess now its over
You’ve beat me from the start
I fought with words
You had weapons of the heart.

I thought that you loved me
We’d never be apart
I fought with my love
You had weapons of the heart.

I guess schoolgirl fancies
Would help me win your heart
I fought with my innocence
You had weapons of the heart.

And now it comes to closure
I don’t know where to start
You see you killed my loving
With your weapons of the heart.

Touch me

Touch me
Taste me
Feel me
Waste me
Hold me
Kiss me
See me
Miss me.

Catch me
Stroke me
Tie me
Poke me
Grab me
Squeeze me
Sate me
Please me.

Warm me
Pick me
Take me
Lick me
In me
Through me
On me
Do me.

And when you’ve
Done all these things to me
You’ll find that
You have won me.


Hold me tight.

Hold on to me
Hold me tight
Hold me baby
Through the night.

Hold me here
Hold me there
Show me that
You really care.

Hold my day
Hold my night
Just remember
Hold me tight.

Hold your love
Hold on tight
Hold me baby
Through the night.

Hold me good
Hold me now
Hold me and
Show me how.

Hold me each
‘n every night
Just remember
Hold me tight.

Hold my love
In your hands
Take me to
Forbidden lands.

Take me here
Take me there
Take me just
‘bout anywhere.

Hold me baby
Through the night
Just remember
Hold me tight.

Call my name.

Call my name
In the night
Call my name
I’ll make it right
When the worlds
Too much for you
Call my name
I’ll help you.

Call my name
When you cry
Call my name
Don’t let it die
When your friends
Turn on you
I’m the one
Always true.

Call my name
I’ll hear you
Call my name
‘s all you do
When you can’t
See the light
Call my name
I’m at your side.

In the morning.

In the morning
With the sunlight on the floor
I’ll be leaving
Walking out the door
In the morning
If the morning ever comes.

In the morning
When you find that I am gone
Will you cry
Will you wonder what went wrong
In the morning
If the morning ever comes.

In the morning
As I walk out of the gate
Will I feel
That it was all too late
In the morning
If the morning ever comes.

It’s the morning
And sunshine lights the bed
But I’m leaving
And I kiss your sleeping head
It’s the morning
It’s the morning that love dies.

Come tomorrow

Come tomorrow
Tomorrow never dies
Come tomorrow
And more of your lies
No more sorrow
And a new better view
No more sorrow
Now I’m free of you
Come tomorrow.

Come tomorrow
If the dawn ever breaks
Come tomorrow
With yet more heart aches
No more sorrow
I’ll start my life again
No more sorrow
Had enough of pain
Come tomorrow.

Come tomorrow
Our love will be dead
Come tomorrow
I’ll start to live instead
No more sorrow
Can’t you see it in my eyes
No more sorrow
I’m finished with your lies
Come tomorrow.

End of Days

Love me ‘til
The end of days
End of days
End of days
Love me ‘til
The end of days
Love me in the morning.

Love me ‘til
The stars go out
Stars go out
Stars go out
Love me ‘til
The stars go out
Love me in the morning.

Love me ‘til
The sky shall fall
Sky shall fall
Sky shall fall
Love me ‘til
The sky shall fall
Love me in the morning.

Love me ‘til
My dying day
Dying day
Dying day
Love me ‘til
My dying day
Love me every morning.

The boy who fell from the sky.

I was walking along
Singing a song
When a movement caught my eye
There he stood
Looking good
The boy who fell from the sky.

Excuse me miss
I heard him say
He wasn’t at all shy
Can you show me
An earth girl’s room
‘cos I’m just passing by.

I stopped and stared
He looked real good
He was easy on the eye
So yes I said
Come with me
I was feeling kinda high.

So he came home
Up to my room
I hoped that he might try
A move or two
Just something new
To help the time pass by.

He took me once
He took me twice
I felt like I could die
And then he made
His apologies
And he flew back to the sky.

And now I’m here
Six months gone
Feel the tears come to my eye
No one believes I really met
The boy who fell from the sky.

Things we’ll know tomorrow
We wish we knew today

I wish I knew
What to say
Please stay here
Don’t go away
I don’t know
If you’ll stay
Things we know tomorrow
We wish we knew today.

Today I see loves running dry
All I do is sit and cry
What can I do to make you stay
Things we know tomorrow
We wish we knew today.

Don’t walk out through that door
I don’t think I can take no more
Stay with me ‘til break of day
Things we know tomorrow
We wish we knew today.

So love comes and so it goes
How it dies no one knows
Now I see I threw it away
Things we know tomorrow
We wish we knew today.
