Back With A Heart

Olivia Newton-John Back With A Heart Lyrics
1.Precious Love

Written:Olivia Newton-John/Annie Roboff

In this world where life keeps changing
Nothing ever seemed to be enough
I kept on, my soul was searching
Looking for something that would fill me up
I have always felt a yearning
Something inside me was unsatisfied

Precious love
You woke my heart up
It's been sleeping for such a long time
This crazy feeling I can believe in
Your love has found its way into my life

Take our time, slow and easy
I'm so comfortable when I'm with you
Catch my breath when you come near me
Can't control this if I wanted to
Thought I'd never trust another
But here in your arms I feel safe again

Precious love
You woke my heart up
It's been sleeping for such a long time
This crazy feeling I must be dreaming
Your love has found its way into my life

You touched a part of me
And set my spirit free
Precious love

This crazy feeling I must be dreaming
Your love has found its way into my life
You know, your precious love has changed my life


2.Closer To Me

Lyrics:John Farrar
Music:John Farrar

I know that in time, I can handle this a little better
But what can I do if your heart won't let her go
There are times I mean everything to you
Life can be so sweet when I do
You know
You gotta know

There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
Get a little closer to me
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
If you wanna go back where we used to be
Get a little closer to me
(Get a little bit, a little bit closer)

I beg you for the truth but I don't wanna hear it
You pour it all out then I won't go near it
Oh no, oh no
But I believe you're gonna love me again
So I'll try to make it easier 'til then
You know
You gotta know

There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
Get a little closer to me
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
If you wanna go back where we used to be
Get a little closer to me

Are you gonna break away, set yourself free
Let me see the kind of man that I used to see
Make yourself open up, let it all go
If you're really mine again, let this crazy fool know

There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
Get a little closer to me
There's a better way to do this dance
Come and get closer to me
If you wanna go back where we used to be
Get a little closer to me
(Get a little bit, a little bit closer)

I wanna be closer
I wanna go back where we used to be
Oh baby, please get close to me
Get a little bit closer
I wanna be closer
I gotta be closer


3.Fight for Our Love

Written:Olivia Newton-John/Victoria Shaw

I don't want to cry
I don't want to say goodbye
But I will if you won't fight for our love
It takes more than saying I love you
We need more than words to get us through
I need to feel that you will fight for our love

We have a history
A passionate story
But lately, we're more strangers than friends
All through the ages
Love really worth saving
Has been battered and scarred
But it strengthened our heart
And that's how you win the end

I just want to hold you close to me
How I miss the way we used to be
Don't let it die; let's you and I fight for our love

Oh all through the ages
Love really worth saving
Has been battered and scarred
But it strengthened our heart
And that's how you win the end

I just want to hold you close to me
How I miss the way we used to be
Don't let it die; let's you and I fight for our love
Don't let it die; let's you and I fight for our love


4.Spinning His Wheels

Written:Olivia Newton-John/Gary Burr

He didn't get home until ten
He was still hard at work even then
He didn't notice the change in her hair
Or the candles that burned everywhere
She went off to bed all alone
He didn't notice she'd gone
And it takes all her strength to hang on

She's on the edge of a circle watching him spin around
They can't reach each other until he slows down
They can't find the center
How lonely that feels
She's stuck in a heartache
He's spinning his wheels

He crawls into bed after two
With a head full of things he should do
And he makes it quite clear with his kiss
She's no longer on top of his list
There are times when she can't feel his love
So she remembers the way that it was
And she'll hold on tight 'til he does

She's on the edge of a circle watching him spin around
They can't reach each other until he slows down
They can't find the center
How lonely that feels
She's stuck in a heartache
He's spinning his wheels

Oh, he's on a rise to the top
She won't ask him to stop
Just please don't forget her
Oh, he's so blinded by pride
She'd be right by his side
If he would just let her

They can't find the center
How lonely that feels
She's stuck in a heartache
He's spinning his wheels
She's stuck in a heartache
He's spinning his wheels


5.Under My Skin

Lyrics:John Farrar
Music:John Farrar

There are nights when you're as mean
As a ladder with a broken rung
When I know your sorry won't make it
From your heart to your tongue
And there are nights when you keep pushing me
And I won't go on
Cause when I get mad enough darling
I will be standing my ground

But on a night like this I know I can't win
I know my soul will burn and blister
When you slide your silky whisper under my skin
Oh under my skin
When you slide your silky whisper under my skin

There are nights when every kiss
Is an order than I can't obey
And I can taste the lie coming
From a mile away
There are nights when you keep holding me
But your arms are too tight
And I don't need what I want
Cause what I want just don't feel right

But on a night like this I know I can't win
I know my soul will burn and blister
When you slide your silky whisper under my skin
Oh under my skin
When you slide your silky whisper under my skin

Everywhere that I go, I hear your name
Spoken in whispers, spoken in shame
In shame

But on a night like this I know I can't win
I know my soul will burn and blister
When you slide your silky whisper under my skin
Yeah under my skin
Come and slide your whisper under my skin
Oh under my skin
Come and slide your whisper under my skin
Under my skin
Ooh under my skin

Come and slide your whisper (under my skin)


6.Love Is a Gift

Written:Olivia Newton-John/Victoria Shaw/Earl Rose

Here we are at last
Suddenly the pieces fit
All at once, I make sense of this crazy world
Loved you for so long
Now your hand is holding mine
It's like we're standing still in time

This is our moment
This is our night
A new beginning of the rest of our lives
With every heartbeat, with every kiss
Let's always remember that love is a gift

With each passing year
We will keep our love alive
I will be here by your side forever
Looking in your eyes, I believe in destiny
I believe in you and me

This is our moment
This is our night
A new beginning of the rest of our lives
With every heartbeat, with every kiss
Let's always remember that love is a gift

The rarest thing we have on earth
Is so special there's no measuring its worth

This is our moment
This is our night
A new beginning of the rest of our lives
With every heartbeat, with every kiss
Let's always remember forever and ever
Let's always remember that love is a gift
It's a gift


7.I Don't Wanna Say Goodnight

Written:Al Anderson/Robert Ellis Orrall

Just one innocent smile
That I could have missed
That's all it took to start all this
One word so softly spoken
When I needed it most
Why you, why right now, who knows?

And I don't know why this is happening
Why it feels so right
But I do know I don't wanna say goodnight

Last kiss until tomorrow
Out on the front porch swing
'Til then nothing means anything

And I don't know why this is happening
Why it feels so right
But I do know I don't wanna say goodnight

I can't let go when I'm holding you tight
All I dream of is that day when we don't have to say goodnight

And I don't know why this is happening
Why it feels so right
But I do know I don't wanna say goodnight
And I don't know why this is happening
Why it feels so right
But I do know I don't wanna say goodnight

Just one innocent smile
That I could have missed
That's all it took to start all this
Oh no I don't wanna say goodnight
Oh no I don't wanna say goodnight
Oh I don't wanna say goodnight
Oh
Oh no just wanna hold you tight


8.Don't Say That

Written:Olivia Newton-John/Chris Farren

I love you, I want you, I need you
All the lines I've heard
I'm wanting so much to believe you
But don't use words
By the look in your eyes, I see you're getting weak
Please fight the urge to speak

And don't say that
Not now, not here
I just wanna feel your touch
Don't say that
Too soon I fear
Show me something I can trust
You stole my heart on the night we met
But I'm not ready to follow it yet
So whatever you do
Don't say that
Don't say that

Just hold me and show me you love me
That says it all
These moments of tenderness
Mean so much more
And we'll get there eventually
So please be patient with me

And don't say that
Not now, not here
I just wanna feel your touch
Don't say that
Too soon I fear
Show me something I can trust
You stole my heart on the night we met
But I'm not ready to follow it yet
So whatever you do
Don't say that

Don't say we'll last forever
We'll always be together
Just lay here silently next to me
And don't say that
Don't say that, no

Don't say that
Not now, not here
I just wanna feel your touch
Don't say that
Too soon I fear
Show me something I can trust
You stole my heart on the night we met
But I'm not ready to follow it yet

So whatever you do
Your kiss is all of the proof I need
So whatever you do
Don't say that
Oh don't say that
Don't speak, don't talk
Just hold me honey
You don't have to use words
Just hold me honey
No need to speak
No, no, no, no don't use words
(I want you, I need you, I love you)
(I just can't stop thinking of you)


9.Attention

Written:Olivia Newton-John/Annie Roboff/Steve Seskin

Here in my heart, there's a truth
That no one could love me like you
But lately you seem so far away
Pretending that you hear what I say
It's all I can do to get some attention from you

Sometimes you look so unsure
Has time left you longing for more
Wishing you would let me back in
I just wanna be home again
It's all I can do to get some attention from you

You mean too much to me to give up without a fight
Lord knows we can't survive one more silent night

I'd like to think there's a chance
Some way to save our romance
But if I have to do it alone
I'd be better off on my own
It's all I can do to get some attention from you
Oh, what can I do to get some attention from you


10.Back with a Heart

Written:Olivia Newton-John/Gary Burr

Everyday the pain dies a little
I'm not at the end but I'm way past the middle
I know when I'm all healed up
I'll be back with a heart and ready to love

Good as new or maybe better
So glad to know the tears aren't forever
Tears dry and soon enough
I'll be back with a heart and ready to love

Doesn't mean that all my hurt is through
But more and more I think of me
And less and less of you

Oh you're hard to forget but I'm gonna do it
Thought I would die but I'm living right through it
I won't give up so don't call my bluff
I'll be back with a heart and ready to love

No, it doesn't mean that all my hurt is through
But more and more I think of me
And less and less of you

Everyday the pain dies a little
I'm not at the end but I'm way past the middle
I know when I'm all healed up
I'll be back with a heart and ready to love
I know when I'm all healed up
I'll be back with a heart and ready to love
Ooh ready to love


11.I Honestly Love You

Written:Peter Allen/Jeff Barry
Vocal:Olivia Newton-John/Babyface

Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know

I love you
I honestly love you

You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you must realize
That it's coming from my heart and not my head

I love you
I honestly love you

I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
I'm not trying to make you anything at all
But this feeling doesn't come along everyday
And you shouldn't blow the chance
When you've got the chance to say

I love you
I honestly love you

If we both were born
In anoother place and time
This moment might be ending in a kiss
But there you are with yours
And here I am with mine
So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this

I love you
I honestly love you
I honestly love you
