Billy Ocean Greatest Hits Lyrics
1.When The Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going

When the going gets tough
The tough get going, tough, tough, huh, huh, huh
When the going gets tough, the tough get ready

Yeah, ooooh, du da do da

I got something to tell you
I got something to say
I'm gonna put this dream in motion
Never let nothing stand in my way
When the going gets touch
The tough get going

I'm gonna get myself 'cross the river
That's the price I'm willing to pay
I'm gonna make you stand and deliver
And give me love in the old-fashion way

Woooh

Darlin', I'll climb any mountain
Darlin', I'll do anything

Ooh, can I touch you (can I touch you)
And do the things that lovers do
Ooh, wanna hold you (wanna hold you)
I gotta get it through to you, oooh

When the going gets tough
The tough get going
When the going gets rough
The tough get rough
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooooh baby

I'm gonna buy me a one-way ticket
Nothin's gonna hold me back
Your love's like a slow train coming (slow train coming)
And I feel it coming down the track (woh)

Darlin', I'll climb any mountain
Darlin', I'll do anything
Ooh (ooh) can I touch you (can I touch you)
And do the things that lovers do
Ooh, (ooh) wanna hold you (wanna hold you)
I gotta get it through to you (ooh)
'Cos when the going gets tough
The tough get going
When the going gets rough
The tough get rough

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Wooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Darlin', I'll climb any mountain
Darlin', I'll swim any sea
Darlin', I'll reach for the heaven
Darlin', with you lovin' me
Oooh (oooh)

Oooh, can I touch you (can I touch you)
And do the things that lovers do (can I touch you)
Oooh, wanna hold you (wanna hold you)
I gotta get it through to you

When the going gets tough
Going gets tough
Going gets rough
Going gets rough...

3.Caribbean Queen(No More Love On The Run)

She dashed by me in painted on jeans
And all heads turned 'cause she was the dream
In the blink of an eye I knew her number and her name yeah
Ah she said I was the tiger she wanted to tame

CHORUS
Caribbean queen
Now we're sharing the same dream
And our hearts they beat as one
No more love on the run

I lose my cool when she steps in the room
And I get so excited just from her perfume
Electric eyes that you can't ignore
And passion burns you like never before

I was in search of a good time
Just running my game
Love was the furthest
Furthest from my mind

REPEAT CHORUS THREE TIMES


4.There'll Be Sad Songs(To Make You Cry)

Sometimes I wonder by the look in your eyes
When I'm standing beside you there's a fever burning deep
inside.
Is there another in your memory?
Do you think of that someone when you hear that special melody?
I always stop and think of you
Especially when the words of love song touch the very heart of
me.
There'll be sad songs to make you cry, love songs often do,
They can touch the heart of someone new saying I love you, I
love you.
I often wonder how it could be you loving me, two hearts in
perfect harmony.
I'll count the hours until that day, the rhapsody plays a melody
for you and me.
Until the moment that you give your love to me,
You're the one I care for, the one I will wait for.
There'll be sad songs to make you cry, love songs often do,
They can touch the heart of someone new saying I love you, ooh
ooh ooh, oh.
You're my desire, you take me higher.
My love is like a river running so deep.
Until the moment that you give your love to me,
You're the one I care for, the one that I will wait for,
There'll be sad songs to make you cry, love songs often do,
They can touch the heart of someone new saying I love you. Ah.
Ah.
There'll be sad songs to make you cry, love songs often do,
They can touch the heart of someone new saying I love you, I
love you.
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do. Ooh.
Saying I love you. (Spoken) I love you.

6.Suddenly

I used to think that love was just a fairy tale
Until that first hello
Until that first smile
But if I have to do it all again
I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause this love is everlasting


Suddenly
Life has new meaning to me
There's beauty up above
And things we never take notice of
You wake up and suddenly
You're in love


Girl, you're everything a man
could want and more
A thousand words are not enough
To say what I feel inside
Holding hands and walking along the shore
Never felt like this before
Now you're all I'm living for

(Repeat *)

Each day, I prayed
This love affiar will last forever, ooh, ooh,

Suddenly
Life has new meaning to me
There's beauty up above
And things we never take notice of
You wake up and suddenly
You're in love ~~~

8.Love Zone

Don't you believe that I want you
I need you here in my arms
You won't have to worry
I'll spend each day in your charms
I want to kiss you all over
Running my hands through your hair
I know a place where love is
I'll keep you warm night and day

In the love zone
You don't have to be alone
Together we can live and learn
In the love zone

Come rest you head on my shoulder
And we'll count the stars in the night
I want to feel you beside me
Just holding you tight
I want to give you a little tenderness
Letting you know how much you're loved
I want to hold you close to me
To keep you warm night and day

In the love zone
You don't have to be alone
Together we can live and learn
In the love zone

Oh baby, don't you know
I'll do the best I can
To be good for you
But when love's a guarantee
There is no mystery
And you'll never be a stranger
Out there on your own
In the love zone

Your love made the difference
In my life
(Never be a stranger)
You'll never be alone

In the love zone
You don't have to be alone
Together we can live and learn
In the love zone


9.Here's To You


10.I Sleep Much Better


11.The Colour of Love

Ooh ooh ooh

If I had to paint a pictures
To show the world how love can really be
I would use the brightest colours
To create a vision of harmony
It would be a reality
'Cause its only what's inside of my heart
You would see I've always loved you right from the very start

Tell me what is the colour of love?
What do you see?
Is it warm is it tender when you thing of me
I see the colour of love when I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting of love forever true

The colours of the rainbow turn grey whenever you're so far away
It changes like the seasons
You're the reason it happens that way
What you see are colours of emotion
Reflecting what I feel deep inside
Now I'd like to take a look at emotions that you hide

Tell me what is the colour of love?
What do you see?
Is it warm is it tender when you thing of me
I see the colour of love when I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting of love forever true

And oh though many may try to keep us apart
Oh the colours that I see in you will shine a light to see us
through
No matter what the world will do I'll always love you Ooh ooh
ooh

Oh what is the colour of love oh tell me tell me
Oh I wanna know I wanna know - when I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect paining of love forever true
