VERSE1:
You could walk behind me
Or you could hold my hand
You could know me fully
Or never understand
And you can drive me crazy
Like only you can
Life's blessing, life's curse,
For better or worse
VERSE2:
You could leave me stranded
Or hold me with your eyes
Come home empty handed
Or with a brilliant surprise
And you could sing me love songs
Or just make me blue
Life's blessing, life's curse,
For better or worse
I'm with you
BRIDGE:
Sure there are plenty of fish in the sea
Flocks of birds on the rise
Baby, not for me
'Cause I live in paradise
VERSE3:
And if harm's way found you
You know I'd be there
To wrap my love around you
To let you know I care
And when the angels came down
I'd say don't you dare
You know not what you do
May God take me first
For better or worse
I love you
May God take me first
For better or worse
I love you

VERSE1:
I found somebody new
Though you mustn't believe
That means I'm over you
I know that in time
We'll figure it out
You'll read my mind
And though I'll wait for that day
Without making a sound
I don't want to be
The one who's letting you down
I just want you to know
The reason behind the rhyme
CHORUS:
It's not that
I didn't have the time
Didn't have the love
I didn't have the strength
Not to fall apart
It's not that I don't care
It's just I wouldn't dare
Cause I just don't have the heart
VERSE2:
Love is not black and white
You'd believe that it's true
If you saw me tonight
I struggle with what is real
But the logical side
Doesn't stop what I feel
And though you're holding your breath
To be given a sign
Your heart cannot be
Broken in pieces like mine
I just want you to know
The reason behind the rhyme
CHORUS:
It's not that
I didn't have the time
Didn't have the love
I just didn't have the strength
Not to fall apart
It's not that I don't care
It's just I wouldn't dare
Cause I just don't have the heart
BRIDGE:
Loving you was more than I could stand
I was scared my heart was in your hand
But I know now
I figured it out
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
I must let go
CHORUS:
Yes I had the time
Yes I had the love
I just didn't have the strength
Not to fall apart
It's not that I don't care
It's just I wouldn't dare
Cause I just don't have the heart
I don't have the heart

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sigh?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tonight with words unspoken
You'll say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun?
I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
I need to know
Will you still love me tomorrow?

VERSE1:
Feelings carry away with me
Till I tremble no more
Music makes lovers of all of us
Out on the floor
Oh, I don't know you too well
And we don't have much time
But whenever you cross my mind
CHORUS:
We'll be dancin' like we did that summer
When no boundaries kept us confined
We'll be intimately dancin' in my mind
VERSE2:
I wish I had many lives
At least more than this one
Then I could deeply feel and learn
To love everyone
No, I just can't up and leave
Everything behind
But still you have touched my life
CHORUS:
And I'll be dancin' like we did that summer
When no boundaries kept us confined
We'll be intimately dancin' in my mind
You feel lovely
You're just what I need right now
Do do doo da doo
CHORUS:
Dancin' like we did that summer
When no boundaries kept us confined
We'll be intimately dancin' in my mind

VERSE1:
I'm evasive I'm cool and I'm nobody's fool
And I'm layin' it on the line
You looked a mess
Cause my little black dress
Stopped you on a dime
Don't even try it your ticket has expired
And I'm just too tired to dance
Even if you want me
You're not gonna get me
Cause baby you had your chance
CHORUS:
Don't you want me now
Now that I'm trying not to try so hard
Don't you want me now
Don't you wonder how
You could've pushed this naive girl
To go so lowdown
The tables are turned somehow
Don't you want me now
VERSE2:
It's not really me it's somebody else
But I'm lovin' her just the same
The look on your face
When I walked in this place
Will remain forever on my brain
Cause the joke's on you
And it's long overdue
Tell me can you take the heat
Wanting to hassle the king in his castle
Revenge never tasted so sweet
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Who cares who wins 'cause just the same
I'm not into baby games
Yet you once swept me off my feet
Now look who's in the driver's seat
CHORUS:
Now, now that I'm trying not to try so hard
Don't you want me now
Don't you wonder how
You could've pushed this naive girl
To go so lowdown
The tables are turned somehow
Don't you want me now
Don't you want me now
Don't you want me now
Don't you want me baby
Don't you want me now
Don't you
Don't you want me now
Oh, yeah

VERSE1:
You know I'm not one to complain
But it's not how it used to be
It's not like anyone is to blame
But you can at least look at me
Hardships come and go
This I know, this I know
CHORUS:
But I've got all the time in the world
All the things you require
All the strength to survive
All the pain and desire
But there's more than just one
In a happy home
If you want it to work
I can't do it alone
VERSE2:
I know that you're under a strain
You, me, and the rest of the world
The sunrise and the evening rain
I would risk it all
Fairy tales are nice
But it takes work to bring them to life
CHORUS
Fairy tales are nice
But it takes work to bring them to life
CHORUS
CHORUS:
I've got all the time in the world
All the things you require
All the strength to survive
All the pain and desire
But there's more than just one
In a happy home
If you want it to work
I can't do it alone
I can't do it alone

Quiet now
While I hold you
Turn it off
The mind that is stopping you
Love is here
So why deny what you feel
CHORUS:
Think with your heart
Speak with your soul
Touch me and feel
The world becomes whole
Break down the walls
Keeping you far
Be as in love
As you think you are
We live one time forever
It can be glorious heaven on earth
So quiet now while I kiss you
You decide what you feel heaven is worth
CHORUS
CHORUS:
Think with your heart
Speak with your soul
Touch me and feel
The world becomes whole
Break down the walls
Keeping you far
You may be as in love
As you think you are

He likes Armani suits
To wear with ties of silk
Bought a herd of cows
To milk his own milk
I like his heart of gold, his personality
He's just too fancy for me
He's got a Cartier and a Mercedes Benz
And that was all ok
When we were only friends
But when we're on a date
It's all too plain to see
He's just too fancy for me
I like a man who can roll up his jeans
And wade in the water
And still has some dreams
I like a man who can understand
Simplicity
Don't want 'em finely tuned
Cause quirky men are cool
The Concorde's caviar
Ain't like Balducci's food
Those thousand dollar suits
May suit society
But they're just too fancy for me
Give me a fishing boat
Give me a wide eyed grin
Don't even try to gloat
Cause you won't even win
Don't want the courtside seats
I want my nose to bleed
He's just too fancy for me
He's just too fancy for me

VERSE1:
Spare me advise for a change
Just let me go my own way
I am the one in this thing
I know you're looking out
Checking me for last minute doubt
He makes me happy
When will you take my word
CHORUS:
You don't have to want this to work
It's my life and a love deserved
Tearing him down, yeah it's a sin
But you don't have to see
What I see in him
VERSE2:
There is respect all around
Miracles in what we found
Surely you can understand
And when I come home to him
It just confirms again and again
That I don't have to explain
But to say that he's my man
CHORUS:
And you don't have to want this to work
It's my life, it's a love deserved
Tearing him down, yeah it's a sin
But you don't have to see
What I see in him
BRIDGE:
Yes it would please me
If you'd make it easy
And open up your mind
CHORUS:
But you don't have to want this to work
It's my life and a love deserved
Tearing him down, yeah it's a sin
But you don't have to see
What I see in him
You don't have to see
What I see in him
But you don't have to see
What I see in him

VERSE1:
Sitting at the table tonight
You look so beautiful
In the candlelight
And looking at her, looking at him
After fifty years
CHORUS:
I pictured you and I and candlelight
And we would look so beautiful
And two young kids
Would be wishing they were us
VERSE2:
Time it is a vision unclear
Blessed with adventure and full of fear
And looking at her, looking at him
Made it seem so easy
CHORUS:
You're looking natural in my eyes
We found life's wonderful surprise
And someday two young kids
Will be wishing they were us
BRIDGE:
Perfect love exists
I've seen it for myself
It's not kisses and moonlight serenades
It's two people holding on to happiness
Before it fades
VERSE3:
I just cannot be here without you
Darling what's this heart supposed to do
It's suddenly here crystal clear
You are the one
CHORUS:
I picture flowers and me dressed in white
And you and I and candlelight
And two young kids
Just wishing they were us

VERSE1:
In your mind's eye
I see what you won't say
Why is the truth so rare
It's not the lighting
It's not the day
And I know it's not that you don't care
CHORUS:
Love is not a secret to take to the grave
Why won't you run away with me tomorrow
We could dance under moonlight
Play catch with the stars all day
Let's run away
VERSE2:
Imagine a place
Where pride could cease to exist
And we could not speak of pain
And angels carry us on their wings
We are kissed
As we bathe in the pouring rain
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I cannot pretend
Oh no not to care
Anymore
So look inside
And come out smiling
With eyes of the adored
CHORUS:
Why don't you run away with me tomorrow
We could dance under moonlight
Play catch with the stars all day
Let's run away
CHORUS:
Love is not a secret to take to the grave
Let's run away tomorrow
We could dance under moonlight
Play catch with the stars all day
Let's run away
Love is not a secret
Love is not a secret

VERSE1:
You have no idea what a woman wants
What a woman needs
Don't go by what you hear
You won't find it in the books you read
Come on strong man
That's the wrong man for me
Have you no clue
What a real man's supposed to be
CHORUS:
So you call yourself a lover
A romeo, a Cassanova
Thinkin' that there is no other
Well guess again
Don't you think yourself attractive
Your mind's a bit too overactive
You don't know from any other
So you call yourself a lover
VERSE2:
Once upon a time
Maybe then some help, just what we needed
Wake up the world has changed
I just need your touch some tlc
I won't shrivel up and die without you
The sooner the better you hear those words
Ring aloud and true
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
They say romance
Is dead and gone, gone, gone
Don't you know it's love sweet love
That this girls world is built upon
A token to show
A tall tale to tell
Won't get you anywhere with me
CHORUS
A romeo, a Cassanova
Thinkin' that there is no other

Oh baby
You know me
VERSE1:
I know people say they know you
But they've each a different face to show you
Honest people don't they take you
When they know you and they say they hate you
Why don't we take the time
To get to know each other
Isn't it worth it
CHORUS:
Cause you, you remember what I say
Don't throw my words away
And that means the world to me oh baby
You know what I do what I do
Not a wall you can't see through
You look inside, yeah you know me
VERSE2:
I've five fingers to count friends on
And they stand for what my life depends on
I don't get it those who don't try
So many molds and rules to live by
Break out of your shell
Put all hearts and souls out there
So glad I found you
CHORUS
CHORUS:
You, you remember what I say
Don't throw my words away
And that means the world to me oh baby
You know what I do what I do
Not a wall you can't see through
You look inside, yeah you know me
BRIDGE:
Now the surface is skimmed
Who knows what's in it
People can't feel what you're meaning
CHORUS
CHORUS:
You, you remember what I say
Don't throw my words away
And that means the world to me oh baby, baby, baby
You know what I do what I do
Not a wall you can't see through
You look inside, yeah you know me
You, you remember what I say
Don't throw my words away
That means the world to me oh baby
You know what I do what I do
