Roxette Greatest Hits Lyrics
1.June afternoon

Didn't I tell you everything is possible in this deja vu?
Try the river boat,the caroused,feed the pigeons,Bar-B-Q.
Look at the people,happy faces all around.
Smiling,throwing kisses,busy making lazy sounds/It's bright June
afternoon,
it never gets dark.
Wah-wah!Here comes the sun.
Get your green green tambourine,let's play in the park.
Wah-wah!Here comes the sun/Some folks are on blankets,
slowly daydreaming and reaching for their food.
Let's go buy an ice-cream and a magazine with an attitude and
put on a cassette

,we can pretend that you're a star cos life's so very simple
just like la-la-la
/It's a bright June after-noon/there's a painter painting his
masterpiece.
There are some squirrles jumping in the trees.
There's a wide-eyed boy with a red balloom.
All my life I/ve longed for this afternoon.


2.You Don't Understand Me

I've been up all night,
you've been puttin' up a fight.
Seems like nothin' I say gets through.
How did this old bed fit a world between me and you.
We said 'Goodnight' but the silence was so thick
you could cut it with a knife.
We've hit the wall again and there's nothin' I can do.

You're the one, yea, I've put all my trust in your hands.
C'mon and look in my eyes, here I am,
here I am

You don't understand me,
my baby.
You don't seem to know that I need you so much.
You don't understand me,
my feelings, the reason I'm breathin', my love

The mornin' comes and you're reaching out for me
just like everything's the same
and I let myself believe things are gonna change.
When you kiss my mouth and you hold my body close,
do you wonder who's inside?
Maybe there's no way we could feel each other's pain.

Tell me why it gets harder to know where I stand.
I guess loneliness found a new friend,
here I am

You don't understand me...

You don't seem to get me,
my baby.
You don't really see that I live for your touch.
You don't understand me,
my dreams or the things I believe in, my love.

You don't understand me.
You don't understand me.
Understand me.


3.She(The Look)

1-2-3-4
Walking like a man,
hitting like a hammer,
she's a juvenile scam.
Never was a quitter,
tasty like a raindrop,
she's got the look.
Heavenly bound
cause heaven's got a number
when she's spinning me around,
Kissing is a colour,
her loving is a wild dog,
she's got the look.

She's got the look.
She's got the look.
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue.
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
and I go: la la la la la
she's got the look.

Fire in the ice,
naked to the T-bone
is a lover's disguise.
Banging on the head drum,
shaking like a mad bull,
she's got the look.
Swaying to the band,
moving like a hammer,
she's a miracle man.
Loving is the ocean,
Kissing is the wet sand,
she's got the look.

And she goes:
na na na na na na na na.


4.Dressed for success

Tried to make it little by little,tried to make it bit by bit on
my own.
Quit the job,the grey believes,another town where I get close to
the bone.
Whatcha gonna tell your borther?-Oh oh oh.
Whatcha gonna tell your father?-I don't know!
Whatcha gonna tell your mother?-Let me go.../I'm gonna get
dressed for success.
shaping me up for the big time,baby.
Get dressed for success shaping it up for your love yea yea
yea/I'm not afraid.
a trembling flower,I'll feed you heart and blow the dust from
you eyes and in
the dark things happen faster,I love the way you sway your hips
next to mine.
Whatcha gonna tell your brother?-Oh oh oh../I'm gonna get
dressed for success,
hitting a spot for the big time,baby.
Get dressed for success,shaping it up for your love.
Look sharp!


5.Listen to your heart

I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes,yea.
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark
Listen to your heart when he's
calling for you.
Listen to your heart,there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going and
I don't know why but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide,yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what it seems,the frrling of
belonging to
your dreams'Listen to your heart...
And there are voices that want to be heard.
So much to mention but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic,the beauty that's been when love was wilder
than the wind.


6.Dangerous

You pack your bag.
You take control.
You're moving into my heart
and into my soul.
Get out of my way!
Get out of my sight!
I won't be walking on thin
ice to get through the night.

Hey, where's your work?
What's your game?
I know your business
but I don't know your name...
Hold on tight,
you know she's a little bit dangerous.
She's got what it takes to make ends meet
the eyes of a lover that hit like heat.
You know she's a little bit dangerous.

You turn around,
so hot and dry.
You're hiding under a halo,
your mouth is alive.
Get out of my way!
Get out of my sight!
I'm not attracted to go-go deeper tonight.

Hey, what's your word?
What's your game?
I know your business
but I don't know your name...
Hold on tight...


7.It must have been love

Lay a whisper on my pillow,leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely,there's air of silence in the bedroom and all
around.
Touch me now,I close my eyes and dream away
It must have been love but it's
over now.
It must have been good but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love but it's over now.
From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out
Make-believing we're
together that I'm sheltered by your heart.
Not in and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your
palm.
And it's a hard winter's day I dream away
It must have been love but it's over
now,it was all that I wanted,now I'm living without.
It must have been love but it's over now,
it's where the water flows,it's where
the wind blows.


8.Joyride

I hit the road out of nowhere,
I had to jump in my car
And be a rider in a love game
Following the stars,
Don't need no book of wisdom,
I get no money talk at all.
She has a train going downtown,
She's got a club on the moon
And she's telling all her secrets
In a wonderful balloon.
Oh she's the heart of the funfair,
She's got me whistling her private tune.
And it all begins where it ends,
And she's all mine,
My magic friend, she says:

Hello, you fool,
I love you,
C'mon join the joyride,
Join the joyride.

She's a flower,
I can paint her,
She's a child of the sun,
We're a part of this together,
Could never turn around and run.
Don't need no fortune teller
To know where my lucky love belongs oh no.
Cos it all begins again when it ends,
And we're all magic friends.
She says:

Hello, you fool,
I love you,
C'mon join the joyride,
Be a joyrider.
I take you on a skyride,
A felling like you're spellbound.
The sunshine is a lady
Who rox you like a baby.


9.Fading like a flower(Every Time You Leave)

In a time where the sun descends alone
I ran a long long way from home to find
a heart that's made of stone.
I will try,I just need a little time to
get your face right out of my mind,to
see the world through different eyes
Every time I see you oh I try to hide awa.
but when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room I feel
I'm fading like a flower
Tell me why,when
I scream there's no reply,
when I reach out there's nothing to find,when I slee.
I break down and cry
Every time I see you...
Fading like a rose,fading like a
rose,beaten by the storm,talking to myself,
getting washed by the rain,it's suc.
a cold cold town.


10.The Big L.

She's the top, she's got the world on a string.
She makes me boogie, makes me do anything yea yea.
hey now, touch the sky,
you've got a certain kind of look in your eyes. -

Well, she's a miracle, she's all that i need
like the water and the air that I breathe yea yea.
hey now, reach the sky,
there's a certain kind of look in your smile. -
and I know what love can do.
Yes I know what hearts can do.

The big love
is taking the wheel, the big love
goes head over heels, the big lust,
bring it into the small world,
the bigger, the better. big love,
waiting to catch the big one,
head over heels, the big one,
bring it into the small world.
I'm building the big big love, I
'm building the big big love.

It's kinda strange, a bit mysterious,
I gotta take it oh so so serious.
hey now, touch the sky,
you've got a certain kind of look in your eyes. -
It used to be so hard, so lonely at night,
well, she's my baby and I'm feeling alright.
hey now, move the sky,
there's a certain kind of look in that smile. -

When I'm making love with her.
When I'm making love to her yea.
It has to be a big thing.
It's bringing me to my knees.
has to be a big thing,
big thing,
ya know what I'm saying...


11.Spending My Time

What's the time?
Seems it's already morning.
I see the sky,
It's so beautiful and blue.
The TV's on
But the only thing showing
Is a picture of you.
Oh I get up
And make myself some coffee.
I try to read a bit
But the story's too thin.
I thank the lord above
That you're not here to see me
In this shape I'm in.
Spending my time,
Watching the days go by.
Feeling so small,
I stare at the wall,
Hoping that you think of me too.
I'm spending my time.
I try to call
But I don't know what to tell you.
I leave a kiss
On your answering machine.
Oh help me please,
Is there someone who can make me
Wake up from this dream?
Spending my time,
Watching the days go by.
Feeling so small,
I stare at the wall,
Hoping that you
Are missing me too.
I'm spending my time,
Watching the sun go down.
I fall asleep
To the sound of 'tears of a clown,'
A prayer gone blind.
I'm spending my time.
My friends keep telling me:
Hey, life will go on,
Time will make sure
I'll get over you.
This silly game of love -
You play, you win only to lose.


12.How Do You Do!

I see you comb your hair
and gimme that grin.
It's making me spin now,
spinnin' within.
Before I melt like snow,
I say Hello
How do you do!

I love the way you undress now.
Baby begin.
Do your caress, honey, my heart's in a mess.
I love your blue-eyed voice,
like Tiny Tim shines thru.
How do you do!
Well, here we are crackin' jokes in the corner of our mouths
and I feellike I'm laughing in a dream.
If I was young I could wait outside your school
cos your face is like the cover of a magazine.

How do you do,
do you do,
the things that you do.
No one I know could ever keep up with you.
How do you do!
Did it ever make sense to you to say Bye
Bye Bye?

I see you in that chair with perfect skin.
Well, how have you been, baby, livin' in sin?
Hey, I gotta know,
did you say Hello
How do you do?
Well, here we are spending time in the louder part of town
and it feels like everything's surreal.
When I get old I will wait outside your house
cos your hands have got the power meant to heal.

How do you do...


13.Almost unreal

Babe,come in from the cold,and put that coat to rest.
Step inside,take a deep breath,and do what you do best.
Yea,kick off them shoes,and leave those city streets.
I do believe love came our way and fate did arrange for us to
meet
I love when.
you do that hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch,you've got the power to heal.
You give me that look,it's almost unreal,it's almost unreal
Hey,we can't stop
the rain,let's find a place by the fire.
Sometimes I feel,strange as it seems you've been in my dreams
all my life
I love when you do that hocus pocus to me...
It's crazy world out there.
Let's hope our prayers are in good hands tonight.


14.Sleeping In My Car

Lyrics:Per Gessle
Music:Per Gessle

I'll tell you what I've done
I'll tell you what I'll do
Been driving all night just to get close to you
Baby Babe - I'm moving so fast
You'd better come on.

The moon is alright
The freeway's heading south
My hard is going Boom!
There's a strange taste in my mouth
Baby Babe - I'm moving real fast
So try to hold on
Try to hold on!

Sleeping in my car - I will undress you
Sleeping in my car - I will caress you
Staying in the back seat of my car making up.

So come out tonight
I'll take you for a ride
This steamy ol' wagon
The radio is getting wild
Baby Babe - we're moving so fast
I try to hang on
Try to hang on!

Sleeping in my car - I will undress you
Sleeping in my car - I will caress you
Staying in the back seat of my car making love, oh yea!
Sleeping in my car - I will possess you
Sleeping in my car - certainly bless you
Laying in the back seat of my car making up.

The night is so pretty and so young
The night is so pretty and so young
So very young...

Sleeping in my car - I will undress you
Sleeping in my car - I will caress you
Staying in the back seat of my car making love to you.
Sleeping in my car - I will possess you
Sleeping in my car - certainly bless you
Laying in the back seat of my car making up.

I will undress you
I will undress you.

The night is so pretty and so young.


15.Crash!Boom!Bang!

My para told me to stay out of trouble.
'When you've found your man,make sure he's for real!'.
I've learned that nothing really lasts forever.
I sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal.
They won't heal/Cos every time
I seems to fall in love,Crash!Boom!Bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall,Crash!Boom!Bang!
That's the call,that's the game and the pain stays the same
I'm walking down down this empty road to nowhere.
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew.
My Mama told me not to mes with sorrow,
but I always did,and Lord,I still do.
I'm still breaking the rules.
I kick it down/Cos every time I seem to fall in love,
Crash!Boom!Bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall,
Crash!Boom!Bang!that's my real middle.
name,it has always been the same.
That's the call,that's the game and the pain stays the same
I still feel the
heat(slowly fallin' from the sky)
and the taste of the kissing.
Shattered by rain
(comin' tumblin' from behind)and the wild holy war.
I kick it up.
I kick it down and everytime
I seem to fall in love,Crash!Boom!Bang!
I find the roses dying on the floor,Crash!Boom!Bang!...
Oh Yea Oh Yea,it has always been the same.


16.Vulnerable

Everywhere I look I see her smile
Her absent-minded eyes
And she has kept me wondering for so long
How this thing could go wrong.

It seems to me that we are both the same
Playing the same game
But as darkness falls this true love falls apart
Into a riddle of her heart.

She's so vulnerable, like china in my hands
She's so vulnerable and I don't understand
I could never hurt the one I love
She's all I've got
But she's so vulnerable
Oh so vulnerable.

Days like these no one should be alone
No heart should hide away
Her touch is gently conquering my mind
There's nothing words can say.
She's coloured all the secrets of my soul
I've whispered all my dreams
But just as nighttime falls this vision falls apart
Into a riddle of her heart, yea.

She's so vulnerable, like china in my hands
She's so vulnerable and I don't understand
I could never hurt someone I love
She's all I've got
But she's so vulnerable
Oh so vulnerable.

Don't hide your eyes...


17.She Doesn't Live Here Anymore?

We grew up together,
we've been here forever.
Barefoot in the summer,
cold in stormy weather.
She taught me all there is,
like magic and love,
lots of forgotten words
(lots of forgotten words)

But now,
she doesn't live here anymore.
She's off and she's gone,
she doesn't live here anymore.
I'm sorry that's all
there is to it,
I'm sorry that's all
(I'm sorry)

She dressed just like a painter,
a female street Picasso
and I, I will remember
the heaven in her laughter.
And the scent of her sweet perfume
when we made love
under an August moon
(under an August moon)

But now,
she doesn't live here anymore.
She's off and she's gone,
she doesn't live here anymore.
She's gone since long, so long,
she doesn't live here anymore.
She took off and left home,
she doesn't live here anymore.
I'm sorry that's all there is to it,
I'm sorry that's all.
That's all.


18.I don't want to get hurt

In everything I see you appear with me,how come?
How come?
And everything I do involves you too.
We are like one.
In my life there has been so many changes and
I don't want to be left out in the rain
I don't want to get hurt,I've done my time.
All I want from you is to tell the truth.
I don't want to get hurt no more this time.
I don't want to go blind and find
it's falling apart all the time
In the middl. of a dream you are there for me,
your face,your lips.
But there's no way you can tell cos
I hide it really well,so well.
In my life there has been loving and lying and
I don't need another reason to cry
I don't want to get hurt...
I don't want to go blind and find I'm falling
apart one more time.
