Roxette The Pop Hits Lyrics
1.Opportunity Nox

Well, I like you, I couldn't think of anything but you
For a week I was in love with your hairdo
I couldn't chew those muffins I used to
I knew I was way over the moon
When I met you, when I met you, I didn't know what to do.
When I saw you, when I saw you you said:

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm dying in a box but I'm out when opportunity rox on

I'm sleeping and I'm dreaming so solo
I saw you in the crowd in the front row
You couldn't get it right in the disco
You're dancing so much better in slo-mo
When I met you, when I met you, I didn't know what to do.
When I saw you, yeah, when I saw you, I said:

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm dying in a box but I'm out when opportunity rox on


2.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

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

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.

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

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


3.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 believers,
another town where I get close to the bone.

Whatcha gonna tell your brother? - 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
for your love, yea yea yea

I'm not afraid, a trembling flower,
I'll feed your heart and blow the dust from your 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
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
for your love, yea yea yea

Look sharp!

Whatcha gonna tell your brother? - oh oh oh
whatcha gonna tell your father? - I don't know!
Whatcha gonna tell your mother? - Let me go...

Get dressed for success

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
for your love, yeah yeah yeah...


4.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,
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

Hey, what's your word?
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

She's armed and she's extremely 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

Due to the exceptional weakness of this song...PLAY LOUD!


5.Joyride

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

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

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.

She says: Hello, you fool, I love you.
C'mon join the joyride. Be a joyrider

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


6.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

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 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...

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,
You know I'm building the big big love.


7.Church Of Your Heart

Can't we leave the world outside
just for a while?
Just for a while?
And spend some time, you and I,
under this bright glorious sky.
It's been so long since I first saw you,
but I still love that smile in your eyes.

Yes it's true, right from the start,
I believed in the church of your heart.
Yes it's you that made me be part of
and believe in the church of your heart.

Step inside, lay yourself down
just for a while,
rest for a while.
I can hear a thundering sound
beating inside when you're around.
It's been so long since I first met you,
since we made love, you know how time flies.

Yes it's true, right from the start,
I believed in the church of your heart.
Yes it's you that made me be part of
and believe in the church of your heart
In the church of your heart.

Yes it's true, right from the start,
I believed in the church of your heart.
Yes it's you that made me be part of
and believe in the church of your heart

Pretty baby, it's true right from the start,
I believed in the church of your heart.
Yes it's you that made me be part of
and believe in the church of your heart
In the church of your heart.


8.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 feel like 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, 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?

(repeat)


9.Sleeping In My Car

I'll tell you what I've done, I'll tell you what I'll do.
Been driving all nite 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... yea.

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, making up.

I will undress you. I will undress you.
Sleeping in my car.
The night is so pretty and so young.


10.Run To You

Baby, sometimes I feel like dying,
driving while I'm closing my eyes.
Moving in and out of hiding,
trying to catch some truth in my life.
Watching your stars and your moonlight,
come tumbling down from the sky.
Take it now.

I'm gonna run to you, I'm gonna come to you,
I wanna find you in everything that I do.
I'm gonna run to you, I'm gonna count on you,
I'm gonna follow. Baby, what else can I do?

Sunday morning, my town is sleeping.
Lying all alone in my bed,
there's not a sound, I can't help but listening.
Wishing I was somewhere else instead.
But sometimes they're too hard to handle,
these voices inside my head.
Listen now.

I'm gonna run to you, I'm gonna come to you,
I wanna find you in everything that I do.
I'm gonna run to you, I'm gonna count on you,
I'm gonna follow. Baby, what else can I do?

Take a walk inside my dream:
A church, a lonely road.
All the people come and go and come and go.

I'm gonna run to you, I'm gonna come to you.
Do it now!
I'm gonna run to you, I'm gonna count on you.

I'm gonna run to you, I'm gonna come to you,
I wanna find you in everything that I do.
I'm gonna run to you, I'm gonna count on you,
I'm gonna follow. Baby, what else can I do?


11.June Afternoon

Didn't I tell you everything is possible in this deja vu?
Try the river boat, the carousel, feed the pigeons, Bar-B-Q.
Look at all the people, happy faces all around.
Smiling, throwing kisses, busy making lazy sounds

It's a 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 afternoon...

There's a painter painting his masterpiece.
There are some squirrels jumping in the trees,
There's a wide-eyed boy with a red balloon.
All my life I've longed for this afternoon.


12.Stars

You keep on walkin' on the other side
Other side, other side
You keep on walkin' on the other side
Other side, other side

Wherever you go, I'm going with you
Shouldn't you know I'm bound to follow
Whatever you say, whatever you do
I give you a clue, I'm gonna follow

And the stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you

Why don't you let me, let me come along
Na na na, na na na
Why don't you open, make me come along
Na na na, na na na

Wherever you go, I'm going for you
Oh, I was truly born to follow
Like fire and wood and paper and glue
Only a few were born to follow

And the stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you
And the sun will glow
Melting all the snow
Knowing all I know
That's where I'll meet you

Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you
And the sun will glow
Melting all the snow
Knowing all I know
That's where I'll meet you

And the stars will show
Every breeze will blow
Knowing all I know
That's where I'll meet you
That's where I'll meet you


13.The Centre Of The Heart(Is A Suburb To The Brain)

What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain?
Tell me,
What am I gonna say when I find the centre of the heart is the
suburb to the brain?

You wear them so well, those innocent eyes
You're putting on a wonderful disguise.
I want you so bad, I'm pushing my luck
It feels like being hit by a truck.
This is no place special, don't know why I came
If someone has a minute, won't you explain?

What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain?
Tell me,
What am I gonna say when I find the centre of my heart is the
suburb to the brain?

Singing Na na na na na na, Na na na na na na

Being with you, dealing with fire
Oh, won't you come around (come out) come out (today) and play
I want you so bad, answer my calls
Let's spend the night within these walls
This is no place special, nothing for the same (nothing for the
same)
If someone's got a minute, do please explain!

What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain?
Tell me,
What am I gonna say when I find the centre of my heart is the
suburb to the brain?

Singing Na na na na na na, Na na na na na na

What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain?
Tell me...
(tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me)
What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain?
Tell me,
What am I gonna say when I find the centre of my heart is the
suburb to the brain?

Singing Na na na na na na, Na na na na na na

What am I gonna do now?
What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain?
The center of my heart... yeah, yeah, yeah!
What am I gonna say when I find the centre of my heart is the
suburb to the brain?
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon hoooooooo!
Na na na na na na
What am I gonna do now?

What am I gonna say when I find the centre of my heart is the
suburb to the brain?


14.Real Sugar

Right in the front door I recognized the perfume
The scent was perfect in the dusk by the moon
There must be many ways to ask her to my room
Why didn't I dare?

Well, every hour I try to get somethin' done
Out in the weekend when I'm just havin' some fun
I'm windin' up with none, just zeroes, no 1's, just space with
no air

I get: 'Bye-bye baby-baby bye baby-baby bye-bye?
Real sugar, I don't wanna climb the walls
Real sugar, that's what I want or none at all
Real sugar, sweet as a sweet can be
Real sugar, that's what I want and what I need
That's what I need.

Yeah, every Friday I'm gettin' ready to roll
I want her blue eyes start sayin' 'Hi' and 'Hellow'
but I can always tell she'd rather be alone with some other guy

I get: 'Bye-bye baby-baby bye baby-baby bye-bye?
Real sugar, I don't wanna climb the walls
Real sugar, that's what I want or none at all
Real sugar, sweet as a sweet can be
Real sugar, that's what I want and what I need
Real sugar, I don't wanna climb the walls
Real sugar, that's what I want or none at all
Real sugar, sweet as a sweet can be
Real sugar, that's what you've got so what's for me?
Hey, what's for me?

I turn myself in, turn turn turn
I turn myself out, outside and in
Gimme gimme real sugar
I don't wanna climb the walls.

17.Makin' Love To You

I don't believe in the rockin' pneumonia
and who cares if Maybelline was a cow
Didn't see 'em rollin' over Beethoven
or hear the blues wrote for Chairman Mao

I don't care if they're rockin' the jailhouse
or who's a-courting with a Peggy Sue
I don't care if they call you a hound dog
as long as I can make love to you
Love to you

I love makin' love to you

Who cares about the great'a pretender
and who the hell was a'Johnny B.Goode
Rave on it's a crazy feeling
Rave on like you know you should
You know you should

I love makin' love to you
I love makin' love to you

I don't care about the shakes in my knee bone
as long as I've got my blue suede shoes
Don't mind if you tickle my thigh bone
as long as I can make love to you love to you,babe

I love makin' love to you
I love makin' love to you


18.Better Off On Her Own

My girl came home to me just the other day, acting OK.
I was reading alone in my favourite room, the TV was on.
May I be excused for not telling the truth

'Cos she's gone, she said she's better off on her own.
She turned her head much better off on her own.
My girl knocked on the door to the place I usually refer to as
home.
I died, shoelace untied she looked in my eyes, small and
surprised.
And God closed every gaze the moon fell into the lake.
Boy, she's gone, a drift she's better off on her own.
She closed, then she left much better off on her own.
Sitting naked by the windowsill watching cars upon the hill.
Am I sleeping?
I was dreaming for just a moment time stood still.
Better off on her own, better off on her own.
Now she's gone, she said she's better of on her own.
She turned her head much better off on her own.
She's gone, she sighed she's better of on her own.
The tears I cried much better off on her own.
My girl came home to me just the other day.
