Synchronistic Wanderings

Pat Benatar Synchronistic Wanderings Lyrics
1.All Fired Up

Written:p.giraldo, m.grombacher & k.tolhurst

Livin' with my eyes closed, goin' day to day
I never knew the difference, i never cared either way
Lookin' for a reason, searchin' for a sign
Reachin' out with both hands, i gotta feel the kick inside
All fired up
Now i believe there comes a time
All fired up
When everything just falls in line
All fired up
We live an' learn from our mistakes
All fired up, fired up, fired up - hey

Ain't nobody livin', in a perfect world
Everybody's out there, cryin' to be heard
Now i got a new fire, burnin' in my eyes
Lightin' up the darkness, movin' like a meteorite

Chorus:
All fired up
Now i believe there comes a time
All fired up
When everything just falls in line
All fired up
We live an' learn from our mistakes
All fired up, fired up, fired up
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now i believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith

Now i believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now i believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now i believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now i believe

(chorus)


2.Anxiety(Get Nervous)


3.Crying


4.Everybody Lay Down

Written:n. giraldo & p. giraldo

Everybody go round, go round, go round
Everybody lay down, lay down, lay down
Don't nobody make a sound
Everybody lay down
Everybody give up, give up, give up
Nobody hang tough, hang tough, hang tough
Life a little too rough
Everybody lay down

Everybody say hey, don't nobody say no?
Everybody say wait, don't nobody say go? (chorus)
Everybody lay down

Everybody cry loud, cry loud, cry loud
Nobody too proud, too proud, too proud
To tell you what they're all about
Everybody lay down

Everybody don't care, don't care, don't care
Nobody play fair, play fair, play fair
Maybe everybody too scared
Everybody lay down

(chorus)

Everybody lookin' higher
Everybody want to touch the fire
Nobody willing to lay it all down

Everybody want heaven
Everybody say amen
One thing is certain, you gotta lay it all down

(chorus)

Everybody go round, go round, go
Everybody lay down, lay down
Don't nobody make a sound
Everybody lay down

Everybody give up, give up, give up
Nobody hang tough, hang tough
When it's just a little rough, everybody lay down

(chorus) twice


5.Every Time I Fall Back

Written:n. giraldo & p. giraldo

I don't know if it's me or just the sign of the times
But i want a better life than the one i've been livin'
Ain't no one says that you can't change who you are
Ain't no law says you gotta take what you're givin'
I wanna find a place where the nights are warm
And the wind don't blow so cold against my skin
I wanna find some shelter in someone's arms
When i go too far i know that

Every time i fall back
You grab my shoulder to keep me from fallin'
Every time i fall back
Your arms are open , i hear you calling me

I believe that people are the same wherever you go
Everybody's seen their reflection
The face we wear is not our face at all
No - we've lost all direction
Don't wanna dance the dance of the fool no more
Don't wanna give away my soul for nothin'
Don't wanna sell myself door to door
I just wanna know that..

Every time i fall back
You grab my shoulder to keep me from fallin'
Every time i fall back
Your arms are open , i hear you calling me

Ohhh...
Ohhh...
Ohhh...

I don't know if it's me or just the sign of the times
I just wanna know that..
Every time i fall back
You grab my shoulder to keep me from fallin'
Every time i fall back
Your arms are open , i hear you calling me

I hear you calling me..
I hear you calling me..

Ohh......


6.Fire And Ice

Written:pat benatar, scott sheets & tom kelly

Ooo, you're givin' me the fever tonight
I don't wanna give in
I'd be playin' with fire
You forget, i've seen you work before
Take 'em straight to the top
Leave 'em cryin' for more
I've seen you burn 'em before
Chorus:

Fire and ice
You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice
I wanna give you my love
But you'll just take a little piece of my heart

You'll just tear it apart

Movin' in for the kill tonight
You got every advantage when they put out the lights
It's not so pretty when it fades away
Cause it's just an illusion in this passion play
I've seen you burn 'em before

(chorus)

So you think you got it all figured out
You're an expert in the field, without a doubt
But i know your methods inside and out
And i won't be takin' in by fire and ice

(chorus)

You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice
I wanna give you my love
But you'll just take a little piece of my heart

You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice

You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and ice


7.Heartbreaker

Your love is like a tidal wave, spinning over my head
Drownin' me in your promises, better left unsaid
You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be
You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me!
You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around - no no no!

Your love has set my soul on fire, burnin' out of control
You taught me the ways of desire, now its takin' its toll
You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be

You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me!
You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around - no no no!

You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be

You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me!
You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me!

You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me!
You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Heartbreaker!


8.Hell Is For Children

They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget, all the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child
Because hell
Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and
your flesh

It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes, and then apologize
You're daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell off the swing

Because hell
Hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and
your flesh

No, hell is for children

Hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for children

Hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for children

Hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for children

Hell is for children
Hell is for children


9.Here's My Heart

Our two worlds met in strange surprise
I hid my love in thin disguise
I tried to leave, how could i stay?
What if my heart gave me away?
I always thought i'd be prepared
But love just caught me unaware
You said the words and i believed
I fell so hard, i fell so deep

Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, so has mine
Here's my heart

So true love triumphs once again
It always makes it in the end
And if you let the heart run free
It will return faithfully

Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, all the time
Helpless love walks the line
Hearts catch fire, the hour is fine
Here's my heart

Ooh, ooh

Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, all the time
Helpless love walks the line
Hearts catch fire, so has mine

Here's my heart
Here's my heart
Here's my heart
Here's my heart

Ooh... hey, hey, hey


10.Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Well you're the real tough cookie with the long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
That's o.k., lets see how you do it
Put up your dukes, lets get down to it!
Hit me with your best shot!
Why don't you hit me with your best shot!
Hit me with your best shot!
Fire away!

You come on with a 'come on', you don't fight fair
But that's o.k., see if i care!
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I'll get right back on my feet again!

Hit me with your best shot!
Why don't you hit me with your best shot!
Hit me with your best shot!
Fire away!

Well you're the real tough cookie with the long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
Before i put another notch in my lipstick case
You better make sure you put me in my place

Hit me with your best shot!
Come on, hit me with your best shot!
Hit me with your best shot!
Fire away!

Hit me with your best shot!
Why don't you hit me with your best shot!
Hit me with your best shot!
Fire away!


11.Invincible

This bloody road remains a mystery
This sudden darkness fills the air
What are we waiting for?
Won't anybody help us?
What are we waiting for?
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

This shattered dream you cannot justify
We're gonna scream until we're satisified
What are we running for?
We've got the right to be angry
What are we running for?
When there's no where we can run to anymore

We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible

Won't anybody help us?
What are we running for?
When there's no where, no where we can run to anymore

We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible


12.In The Heat Of The Night

In the heat of the night, when you know it ain't right
But you do what you wanna do
You do what you feel, no one can feel like you
Out in the summertime city, ain't it a pity
There's so much to tie you down
You're leaving tonight to somewhere you can't be found
While down at the edge of town
At a pool hall where they all hang around
You hear them talkin' about the girls they knew
And talk about what they're gonna do
Then you ask yourself, is this where you belong?
Is it right, or is it wrong?
Does it matter what's right, in the heat of the night?

Out in the streets tonight, under the neon lights
You're searchin' for something new
But nothin' is real, and no one can feel like you
They say that eagles fly in this red hot sky
But were they just passin' through
Or did they look down, and see what you found was true

But still in the back of your mind
You've got somethin' to believe in, but there's so much to find
As the bright lights dim, and the night closes in
You thought everything is ending, but it's yet to begin
And you ain't seen nothing yet!
But what you see you'll never forget, and you'll say

Why oh why)
Did it take you so long to want something more?
Why oh why)
Did you never get off on this before?
Why oh why)
Well, here it is, the love you've been waitin' for
Why oh why)
Standin' in front of you like an open door

And then you ask yourself, is this where you belong?
Is it right, or is it wrong?
Does it matter what's right, in the heat of the night?

In the heat of the night, when you know it ain't right
But you do what you wanna do
You do what you feel, 'cause no one can feel like you


13.I Don't Want To Be Your Friend

Did you see me last night
I was there in the dark
I saw her look at you, the way i used to
When i still had your heart.

I watched you take her hand
There was love in your eyes
I remember when you looked at me that way too
Before we said good-bye

I don't want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
I don't think i can pretend
That you mean nothing to me

It's hard enough to say good-bye
Even when you know it's over
I don't want to be your friend
I want to be your lover and when i think i've had enough
And i just can't stand the pain
I reminisce about the way it felt
To have you every day
You know that every time i hear your voice
I still get a thrill
And there's nothing i can do about it

Am i gone from your thoughts, forgotten somehow
When you be there with her
Does my memory stir, any part of you now
I know that i should concede, face the truth and all that
I know i should realize i'm not a part of your life anymore,
But i can't

I don't want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
I don't think i can pretend
That you mean nothing to me

It's hard enough to say good-bye
Even when you know it's over
I don't want to be your friend
I want to be your lover

15.I Need A Lover

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me mad
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone to thrill me, and then go away
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone that knows the meaning of ah - hey hit the highway

Well i've been walking the streets in the evening
Racing through this human jungle at night
I'm so confused, my mind is indifferent
Hey - i'm so weak, won't someone shut out that light
Electricity runs thru the video
And i watch from this hole i call home
And all the stonies that are dancin' to the radio
I got the world calling me tonight on the phone

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me mad
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone that knows the meaning of ah - hey hit the highway

Well i'm not wiped out by this poolroom life i'm livin'
But i'm gonna quit my job, and go to school, and head back home
Now i'm not asking to be loved or be forgiven
Hey - i just can't face shakin' in this bedroom one more night
alone

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me mad
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone that knows the meaning of ah - hey hit the highway

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone to thrill me, and then go away
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
I need a lover that won't drive me mad
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Someone that knows the meaning of ah - hey hit the highway


16.Let's Stay Together

Written:neil geraldo & pat giraldo

People walkin' 'round, all lost and confused
Ready to throw their lives out in the gutter
Ain't no love between 'em, father to son
Man to woman, brother to brother
You and me we move, in opposite directions
Like two spheres on their separate planes
Ain't nobody loved me better than you done
So why can't we just find a way to (live) - stay together

Let's stay together
Life's too hard to make it all alone
An' peace and harmony don't come in packages with bows
An' true love ain't somethin' you find layin' around
Don't you know, let's stay together

Let's stay together, let's stay together

Mothers don't you turn your backs on your children
Children don't you leave the family
Ain't no point in livin', life all by yourself
So why can't we just find a way to (live) - stay together

Let's stay together
Life's too hard to make it all alone
An' peace and harmony don't come in packages with bows
An' true love ain't somethin' you find layin' around
Don't you know, let's stay together

Let's stay together
Life's too hard to make it all alone
An' peace and harmony don't come in packages with bows
An' true love ain't somethin' you find layin' around
Don't you know, let's stay together

Let's stay together, let's stay together
Let's stay together, let's stay together
Let's stay together

Yeah - peace and love and war and hate
Something's best and something just to get away

Let's stay together, let's stay together
Let's stay together, let's stay together
Let's stay together, let's stay together
Let's stay together


17.Le Bel Age

Written:robert tepper & guy marshall

There comes a time, when you should see things clear
Free from my innocence, there is no circumstance too severe
Only the need for us, for us to believe again
There is a time, temptation's on the run
Dreamer you've had your way
Soldier you've had your day, in the sun
Now it's time, for us to begin again

Chorus:

Le bel age
Only our love will remain
Le bel age
Close to the truth once again

There comes a time (there comes a time)
When you must find your way
Begger has made his bed
Wrapped in a silhoutte, of gold and gray
Now it's time, yes it's time, for us to begin again

(repeat chorus twice)

Standing so close to me, the possibility
To change our destiny, i see it perfectly, moving so naturally
Nothing can stand in our way

(repeat chorus three times)

Le bel age
Only our love will remain (only)
Le bel age (only our love, only our love)
Close to the truth once again

(repeat chorus)

Le bel age (le bel age)
Le bel age


18.Little Too Late

Written:alex call

I hear you had a good offer down on third avenue
You tell me that was the reason
For whatcha' put me through, yeah
And now you come collapsin' back
I feel the heat of your attack
Want me to take you back
I'm givin' you the sack
So don't waste your time

Chorus:

It's a little too little
It's a little too late
I'm a little too hurt
And there's nothin' left that i've gotta say
You can cry to me baby
But there's only so much i can take
Ah, it's a little too little
It's a little too late

You say you had a good time
But did ya' think it was for free - yeah
And how much did it get ya', all their flattery
And now you come back, runnin' for protection
You've been bitten by love and stung by rejection
You can't connect
What did you expect?
I'm still gettin' over you

(repeat chorus four times)


19.Looking For A Stranger

Written:franne golde & peter mcian

I had it with the same old routine
I had it with the same old faces, places
Everynight, in my life
I started feeling washed up, washed out
Hung up, wrung out, left to dry out
Everynight
But i know
Yeah, i know you're out there, somewhere
Oh, i, i can almost hear you callin'
I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight

I'm tired of the same old -
Hello baby, how ya doun'? come here often?'
Where have you been all my life?'
Everynight

But i know
That someday, somewhere
I'll turn around and you'll be there
Ooo.., in my life
Everynight

But i know
Yeah, i know you're out there, somewhere
Oh, i, i can almost hear you callin'
I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight

I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight


20.Love Is A Battlefield

Written:mike chapman & holly knight

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

You're beggin' me to go, you're makin' me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know
Do i stand in your way, or am i the best thing you've had?
Believe me, believe me, i can't tell you why
But i'm trapped by your love, and i'm chained to your side

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

We're losing control
Will you turn me away or touch me deep inside?
And before this gets old, will it still feel the same?
There's no way this will die
But if we get much closer, i could lose control
And if your heart surrenders, you'll need me to hold

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searchin' our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield


21.My Clone Sleeps Alone

You know and i know my clone sleeps alone
She's out on her own - forever
She's programmed to work hard, she's never profane
She won't go insane, not ever
No v.d., no cancer, on t.v's the answer
No father, no mother,, she's just like the other
And you know and i know, my clone sleeps alone

Your clone loves my clone, but yours cannot see
That's no way to be, in heaven
No sorrow, no heartache, just clone harmony
So obviously, it's heaven

No naughty clone ladies allowed in the eighties
No bed names, no sex games, just clone names and clone games
And you know and i know my clone sleeps alone

Before we existed the cloning began
The cloning of man and woman
When we're gone they'll live on, cloned endlessly
It's mandatory in heaven

But they won't remember or ever be tender
No loving, no caring, no program for pairing
No v.d., no cancer, on t.v's the answer
No father, no mother, she's just like the other

No naughty clone ladies allowed in the eighties
And you know and i know my clone sleeps alone
My clone sleeps alone!
My clone sleeps alone!


22.One Love

Written:neil geraldo & myron grombacher

Once there was a man, and he lived to sing the lions song
As he traveled on road of hope
One love is the light, shining over every mountain top
It will lead us to the higher ground
One day every heart will beat strong against the night
Let it be done right now
Once there was a man, and his words became a song of love
And his song became the golden dream
One love is the light, shining over everyone that believes
It will lead us to the higher ground
One day every eye will see truth before the light
Let it be done right now

Some wait, so long
Because our love is strong
This hard road traveled on
Will lead us home, forever

Hear the lion's song, voices cryin' like a desert wind
Yeh he's gone unto his father's land
Afrika tonight, for we truly are one in our hearts
Colors woven in the golden dream

One day every eye will see truth before the light
Let it be done right now
One day every voice will speak strong against the night
Let us be one right now
So let it be

We are the children of a thousand days
We are the people of the hard rain
We are the children of a thousand days
We are the people of the hard rain
We are the people of the hard rain


23.Ooh Ooh Song

Written:niel geraldo & pat giraldo

Just when we think we conquered it
It seems we lose the fight again
But there's just no stoppin' it
It's like a bad dream that never ends
It puts up walls between us
That get harder, and harder, and harder, and harder, and harder
To remove
But we let it continue, like people in love always do
Ooh - ooh
Ooh - ooh
Ooh - ooh

Lets not pretend that we're unique
Coz everybody's tasted loves illusion
We try to hide the fact that we
Got lost between the choas and confusion
And the love we feel
Is gettin' deeper, and deeper, and deeper, and deeper, and
deeper
By the minute

But we let it slip away
Coz we don't know a good thing while we're in it

Ooh - ooh
Ooh - ooh
Ooh - ooh

(ending background vocal:
'y el amor que sentimos es mas profundo'
'the love that we feel is deeper')


24.Outlaw Blues

Written:niel geraldo & myron grombacher

It was rainin' in heaven when you went down
You were better than the best
Stayed a notch above the rest
It was rainin' in heaven when you went down

Your mother cried, said she told you so
But you touched the devil and couldn't let go
(yeah)
No one controls the outlaw

You wrote the story with the movie in mind
An angel face with a criminal side
Celebraed as the rebel kind
The outlaw

I wonder if you knew
They would turn your bad deeds into good
Paint you as a modern robinhood

It's high noon
Everywhere you go
And the guilt you feel is the weary soul
(yeah)
Of the outlaw

Hearts weren't made to be ruled
And rules weren't made to be broken
It's cold and lonely at the end of your life
And nobody sleeps 'til they turn out the lights
For the outlaw

Where you gonna go, where you gonna hide
It's cold and lonely for the outlaw
Where you gonna go, where you gonna hide
As the outlaw


25.Painted Desert

Written:neil geraldo & myron grombacher

I hear your heartbeat but you're never there
Like a mirage, you haunt me everywhere
All day long
I burn for you, lonely in the night
I tried to live alone, but i just can't get it right
Ya' know that, this town's like a painted desert
Dead heat, movin' in the city
I'm lost in a painted desert
In a painted desert without you

I've done some thinkin', now that you're not here
I know your reasons, and they're still not clear
All i'm sure of is what i got to lose
I tried to be a better loser, but it's just no use

Ya' know that this town's like a painted desert
Dead heat, movin' in the city
I'm lost in a painted desert
In a painted desert without you

Walkin' in the sundown, i search in vain
Waitin' on the wind that whispers out your name
Through concrete canyons echoing a world of other faces
No direction looks like home
Where is my oasis?

Ya' know that this town's like a painted desert
Dead heat, movin' in the city
I'm lost in a painted desert
In a painted desert without you
In a painted desert without you

26.Payin' The Cost To Be The Boss

Written:b.b king

You act like you wanna listen when i'm talkin' to you
You think you oughta do baby, anything you wanna do
You must be crazy baby
You just gotta be, outta your mind
As long as i'm payin' the bills
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss

I'll drink if i wanna, and play a little poker too
I don't want to hear nothin' from ya
As long as i'm takin' care of you
As long as i'm workin' baby, payin' all the bills
I don't want no mouth from you 'bout the way i'm supposed to
live

You must be crazy baby
You just gotta be, outta your mind
As long as i'm footin' the bill
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss

Now that you got me huh, you act like you're ashamed
You don't act like my man - you're just usin' my name
I'm gonna have all the money baby
I don't want no back talk
You don't like how i'm doin'
You can pick up your things and walk

You must be crazy baby
You just gotta be, outta your mind
As long as i'm payin' the bills
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss


27.Please Come Home For Christmas

Written:gene redd & charles brown

Bells will be ringing, the glad - glad news
For what a christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone and i have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Oh, crowds will be singing silent night
Christmas carols by candlelight

Please come home for christmas
Please come home for christmas
If not for christmas, by new year's night

Friends and relations, send salutations
As sure as the stars shine above
Yes it's christmas, christmas my dear
It's the time of the year -- time of the year
To be with the one you -- the one you really love

Oh won't you tell me, we'll never grow old

Christmas and new years will find you home
They'll be no more sorrow, no more grief and pain
Because i'll be happy that it's christmas once again

Please come home for christmas baby
They'll be no more sorrow, no more grief and pain
Because i'll be happy, lord i'll be so happy
Happy once again


28.Precious Time

I don't want to argue about who is the victim
Cause maybe we both got burned
I don't want to talk about who is the traitor
Cause both of our loyalties turned
I don't want to fight about who is the liar
Cause there's too many ways to lie
I don't want to hear about who is the winner
Cause we both know it's a tie
Cut it out, drop it, count me out - baby stop it
Life is too short, so why waste precious time
Life is too short, so why waste precious time

You were on a liquid diet, you were sure you had to try it
And you lost all your pounds
The doctor's on vacation, so you took the medication
And wound up in lost and found
So we took a trip to paris
Cause you swore that it would scare us out of our swift decline
All that i remember 'bout those days in that september
Is the 'merci' and the wine

Cut it out, drop it, count me out - baby stop it
Life is too short, so why waste precious time
Life is too short, so why waste
Precious time, precious time, precious time
Oh, precious time
Life is too short, so why waste precious time

You talk on the telephone, long distance to new york or rome
Some would say you got it made
Your home is like a fortress, no one comes in but the florist
The gardner, and the maid
You call me on the telephone, you say you feel so alone
Too tired to get dressed and get out
First you're happy, then you're sad
Somehow you always hang up mad
Excuse me if i shout

Cut it out, drop it, count me out - baby stop it
Life is too short, so why waste precious time
Life is too short, so why waste precious time
Life is too short, so why waste precious time
Precious time, precious time, oh precious time
Life is too short, so why waste precious time


29.Promises In The Dark

Never again, isn't that what you said?
You've been through this before
An' you swore this time you'd think with your head
No one, would ever have you again
And if takin' was gonna get done
You'd decide where and when
Just when you think you got it down
Your heart securely tied and bound
They whisper, promises in the dark

Armed and ready, you fought love battles in the night
But too many opponents made you weary of the fight
Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone in
All the warnings went off in your head
Still you had to give in

Just when you think you got it down
Resistance nowhere to be found
They whisper, promises in the dark

But promises, you know what they're for
It sounds so convincing, but you heard it before
Cause talk is cheap and you gotta be sure
And so you put up your guard
And you try to be hard
But your heart says try again

You desperately search for a way to conquer the fear
No line of attack has been planned to fight back the tears
Where brave and restless dreams are both won and lost
On the edge is where it seems it's well worth the cost
Just when you think you got it down
Your heart in pieces on the ground
They whisper, promises in the -- dark

Written:n & p giraldo & m grombacher & f linx

They say the hand is quicker than the eye
And two wrongs don't make a right
I feel lightning when you walk by
You got the power to take me higher, yeh
Hear me when i say

They say the power of love is to blame
Time stops when i speak your name
Now and forever you are the one
Love-light shining on and on and on

Rise
Hear me when i say
Come on, yeh
Rise
See a better day
Come on, yeh, yeh

They say the power of love is like the sun
Shining down on everyone
Hey, don't be frightened by what you feel
You got to know that the power of love is real

Hear me when i say
Rise
See a better day
Come on
Can you feel the power of love


33.Run Between The Raindrops

Written:neil geraldo & myron grombacher

It's always one thing or another, seems like we never get ahead
Reaching out for the brass ring, and landing in the dirt instead
We can't get past yesterday, we're only counting down from ten
It seems like every move we make, brings us back where we began
You've gotta run between the raindrops
If you wanna see the sun
Run, run, run, between the raindrops
Run between the raindrops, if you wanna see the sun
Run, run, run, - run baby run

Somewhere there's a sun that's shining
Somewhere we'll find a life that's good
Some way i'm gonna make it happen
Just like you always knew i could

We're treading water on a river of tears
And i don't know what to do
I can take a beating, but i ain't gonna let it happen to you,
you

You've gotta run between the raindrops
If you wanna see the sun
Run, run, run, between the raindrops
Run between the raindrops, if you wanna see the sun
You gotta run, run, run, - run baby run

We're treading water on a river of tears
And i don't know what to do

You've gotta run between the raindrops
If you wanna see the sun
Run, run, run, between the raindrops
Run between the raindrops, if you wanna see the sun
Run, run, run, - run baby run

Run between the raindrops, if you wanna see the sun
You gotta run, run, run, - run baby run

You gotta run, run, run, - run baby run


34.Sex As A Weapon

Written:tom kelly & billy steinberg

You really do know how to strut that stuff (strut that stuff)
You really do know how to act tough (act tough)
Your body's just like a centerfold
A fantasy (a fantasy), anyone would want to hold
Chorus:

Stop using sex as a weapon
Stop using sex as a weapon
You know you're already my obsession
Stop (stop) using sex as a weapon
Love is more than a one way reflection
Stop (stop) using sex as a weapon

With looks that kill and a mind that's twisted (twisted)
I don't know why i can't resist it (resist it)
I tell myself look the other way (other way)
When you want me to (when you want me to)
I, i always stay

(chorus)

You play with desire like it was a toy (toy)
How much affection can you destroy?
You wrap my heart around your little finger
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex as a weapon

Stop using sex as a weapon
Stop using sex

(chorus)

Stop using sex as a weapon
Stop using sex as a weapon
Stop using sex
Stop using sex as a weapon

Sex as a weapon, as a weapon


35.Shadows Of The Night

we're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
You said - oh girl, it's a cold world
When you keep it all to yourself
I said you can't hide on the inside
All the pain you've ever felt
Ransom my heart, but baby don't look back
Cause we got nobody else

Chorus:

We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

You know that sometimes, it feels like
It's all moving way too fast

(repeat chorus three times)

Use every alibi and words you deny
That love ain't meant to last
You can cry tough baby, it's all right
You can let me down easy, but not tonight

We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, you'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

And now the hands of time are standin' still
Midnight angel, won't you say you will


36.Shooting Star

Written:harry chapin

Description:man loves woman. man marries woman. man and woman
have children. man leaves woman in search of self. man realizes
how important woman is and returns.

He was crazy of course
From the first she must have known it
But still she went on with him
And she never once had shown it
And she took him off the streets
And she dried his tears of grievin'g
She listened to his visions
She believed in his believin'

Ah, he was the sun burning bright and brittle
And she was the moon shining back his light a little
He was a shooting star
She was softer and more slowly
He could not make things possible
But, she could make them holy, holy...

He was dancin' to some music
No one else had ever heard
He'd speak in unknown languages
She'd translate every word
And when the world was laughing
At his castles in the sky
She'd hold him in her body
And he once again would fly

Ah, he was the sun burning bright and brittle
And she was the moon shining back his light a little
He was a shooting star
She was softer and more slowly
He could not make things possible
But, she could make them holy, holy...

But she gave him a daughter
And she gave him a son
She was a mother, and a wife,
And a lover when the day was done
Well, he was too far gone for giving love
What he'd offer in its stead
Was the knowledge she was the only thing
That was not in his head

He took off east one morning
In the rising sun's red glow
She knew he was going nowhere
But of course she let him go
As she stood and watched him dwindle
Much too empty to be sad
He reappeared beside her and said,
'you're all i've ever had'

Ah, he was the sun burning bright and brittle
And she was the moon shining back his light a little
He was a shooting star
She was softer and more slowly
He could not make things possible
But, she could make them holy
Ah, he was the sun burning bright and brittle
And she was the moon shining back his light a little
He was a shooting star
She was softer and more slowly
He could not make things possible
But, she could make them holy
Holy...


37.Somebody's Baby

Written:n. giraldo & p. giraldo

He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter, he used to matter
Someone cared if he lived or died
Someone held him in their arms - when he cried
And when he hurt, someone kept the world away
Someone loved him, someone loved him

He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter, he used to matter
He used to matter

That was then, that was so long ago
Long before they came and took his soul
Long before he bacame invisible
That was when, he wasn't human garbage then

He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter, he used to matter
He used to matter
He used to be somebody's baby


38.Sometimes The Good Guys Finish First

Written:pat giraldo, holly knight & khris mcdaniels

S-u-c-c-e-s-s
That's the way we spell success
Will we get it, the answers yes
S-u-c-c-e-s-s
Small town boy, so clean he squeaks
Dressed and polished for the big time dreams
Got a letter from his ma, and a boyish grin
Close his eyes one minute, and it'll lead him to the win, yeah

You know there's nothin' like heaven that won't get you back
To you get your ass in gear, and your mind on track
When wheels start turnin', things start to fall into place
You'll be suprised what you can do and some talents all it takes
Yeah

Chorus:

Sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes your best is all it takes
You know that, sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes the good guys, finish first

Back on logic, turn your head around
Use the front door and avoid the crowds
They'll be tryin' to tell you that it can't be done
Cause the big boys on their own gave us half the fun, hey hey

(repeat chorus twice)

The good guys, the good guys, the good guys, finish first

(chorus)

Sometimes the good guys finish first
Walkin' a straight line in reverse
You know that, sometimes the good guys finish first
Sometimes the good guys, finish first

(chorus)


39.Strawberry Wine(Life Is Sweet)

How am i supposed to make it through another day
What am i supposed to do now that you've gone away
Is there anything encouraging you can say to me
Did you really think my heart was made of stone
Maybe you never gave it any thought at all
How nice to go through live oblivious and free

Life is sweet, sweet as strawberry wine
And bitter too, like the seeds on the vine
And you are that, you are more than sublime
And bitter too, lovin' you, has been an experience

How am i supposed to ever feel the same
These kind of situations always have a way
Of screwing up your mind and messing with your sanity
How many days and nights will have to come and go
Before i realize what i already know
I'm better off without you like i thought i'd be

Life is sweet, sweet as strawberry wine
And bitter too, like the seeds on the vine
And you are that, you are more than sublime
And bitter too, lovin' you, has been an experience

(spoken) life is sweet

Life is sweet, sweet as strawberry wine
And bitter too, like the seeds on the vine
And you are that, you are more than sublime
And bitter too, lovin' you, has been an experience

Life is sweet, sweet as strawberry wine
And bitter too, like the seeds on the vine
And you are that, you are more than sublime
And bitter too, lovin' you, has been an experience


40.Tell Me Why

Tell me why the stars do shine
Tell me why the ivy twines
Tell me why the sky's so blue
And then i'll tell you just why i love you
Because god made the stars to shine
Because god made the ivy twine
Because god made the sky's so blue
Because god made you, that's why i love you

Tell me why the stars do shine
Tell me why the ivy twines
Because god made the sky's so blue
Because god made you, that's why i love you

Written:n. giraldo, p. giraldo & m. grombacher time:3:28

We got it all but it ain't enough
No, we're never ever happy with what we got
I see that look on your face, you know i've seen that look
before
Don't you be fooled baby, you gonna show
It's just temptation, whoa... temptation
Temptation whoa... must be temptation

Too far to fall but we always do
Though we swore in our hearts to be true
You say that hand that your holdin' feels a little cold sometime
Baby sooner or later, you're gonna find that true love..

Is just like temptation, whoa... temptation
Temptation whoa... feels like temptation
Now listen here... whoa... temptation
Whoa... temptation whoa....

We want it all and we want it fast
No time to think, no time to ask
But you know that road that we're on don't always lead to
happiness
You can count on it baby
It's a pretty good guess now all we got

Is just temptation, whoa... temptation
Temptation whoa... feels like temptation
Temptation whoa... looks like temptation
Temptation -- must be temptation yeah


42.The Effect You Have On Me

Written:m. heyral, e. piaf, c. severac, s. m. edgren

There are people who have no trouble
In expressing how they feel
For me it's never been that bad
It's just the way i've always been
Chorus:

I often try to tell my friends
About the effect you have on me
I don't know why, i can't explain
When you are near, my heart is weak
It spins around my head and then
Recalls your fingers down my spine
It goes away, it comes back again
Makes me cry, it makes me shy

You have in your hand my _______ of love
And in your eyes all that i _________
What more could i expect from life
Than your lovin' and tender kiss

And they can talk about paradise
And all the dreams that ought to be
I ________ doubt it could compare to
The effect you have on me
There are no words, no reason why
The tears that sometimes fill my eyes
They're only tears of happiness
It's only fear of losing you

(repeat chorus)

Only your voice can bring me peace
Only your touch can bring me joy
What more should i expect from this life
When so many people still search for love

I know i never will explain
This effect you have on me
But if i have on you the same
We'll be in love....eternally

44.Treat Me Right

Written:pat benatar and d. lubahn

You want me to leave, you want me to stay
You ask me to come back, you turn and walk away
You wanna be lovers, and you wanna be friends
I'm losing my patience, you're nearing the end
One of these days you're gonna reach out and find
The one that you count on has left you behind
Don't want to be no martyr, with no one, no say
Oh my, my baby, before it's too late

Treat me right
Treat me right
Open your eyes, maybe you'll see the light

Do you think i'm a fool, well you better think twice
I've had enough baby, it's time you realized
That you can't have it both ways, it's no way to live
You've done all the takin', it's your turn to give

One of these days you're gonna reach out and find
The one that you count on has left you behind
Don't want to be no martyr, with no one, no say
Oh my, my baby, before it's too late

Treat me right
Treat me right
Open your eye's, maybe you'll see the light
Ooh, ooh, treat me right

You want me to leave, you want me to stay
You ask me to come back, you're turnin' love away
You wanna be lovers, and you wanna be friends
I'm losing my patience, you're nearing the end

Treat me right
Treat me right
Open your eyes, maybe you'll see the light
Ooh, ooh, treat me right

Treat me right - treat me right
Treat me right - treat me right
Treat me right - treat me right
Treat me right - treat me right

46.True Love

Written:n. giraldo & p. giraldo

Never been no fragile flower
I always got too much to say
Never had much luck with love and romance
I guess it's always been that way
But i've been seriously thinking
About slippin' on the velvet gloves
I know it's strange but my lucks about to change
Cause what we got here is true love, yeh, yeh
True love, you can't buy it - no, no
You know it ain't like nothin' else
True love, you really ought to try it
You owe it to yourself to get ya some - true love

You know i wake up every morning
It's the first thing on my mind
This is a permanent condition, of the most serious kind
Now let me tell you baby
That you were sent from up above
Give me a sign - let's not waste any more time
Cause what we got here is true love, yeh, yeh

I called the man at the video store and i said
Cancel my membership, i won't be needing it no more
Found something else to occupy my nights
And baby it's just the right
Amount of true love

I called the man at the video store and i said
Cancel my membership, i won't be needing it no more
Found something else to occupy my nights
And baby it's just the right
Amount of true love, true love - yeh

Everybody wants it, everybody needs true love
Don't get me wrong about the bad love
I gotta have good love
True love - yeah - true love - ohh
Ummm...

47.We Belong

Written:d. navarro & r. lowen

We belong, we belong to the light
Many times i've tried to tell you
Many times i've cried alone
Always i'm surprised how well you
Cut my feelings to the bone

Don't want to leave you really
I've invested too much time
To give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind

Chorus:

We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together

Maybe it's a sign of weakness
When i don't know what to say
Maybe i just wouldn't know
What to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit
Do we distort the facts
Now there's no looking forward
Now there's no turning back
When you say

(chorus)

Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best
To try and wash the palette clean
We can't begin to know it
How much we really care
I hear your voice inside me
I see your face everywhere
Still you say

(chorus)


48.We Live For Love

Your love's contagious, one kiss is dangerous
But i have more to risk, than you to lose
I feel passion growing
I know that love is only just one inch away, from striking us
We live for love
We live for love

When we get tired, and watch the summer fade away
Will you think of romance, what will we do?
Is there a place where we can go?
Where time stands still for those who know?
Till eternity we'll fulfill our desires

We live for love
We live for love
We live for love
We live for love

I never planned to win the race
But you convinced me face to face
There was never a chance of losing at all

We live for love
We live for love
We live for love
We live for love

We live for love
We live for love
We live for love (fading)


49.Wuthering Heights

Written:kate bush

Out on the wiley, windy moors, we'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper like my jealousy, too hot, too gready
How could you leave me, when i needed to possess you
I hated you, i loved you too
Bad dreams in the night
You told me i was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my

Wuthering, wuthering, wuthering heights
Heathcliff, it's me, i'm cathy, i've come home
I'm - so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, i'm cathy, i've come home
I'm - so cold, let me in your window

Ooh, it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine a lot, i find the lot falls through without you
I'm coming back love, cruel heathcliff
My one dream, my only master

Too long i roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side to put it right
I'm coming home to

Wuthering, wuthering, wuthering heights
Heathcliff, it's me, i'm cathy, i've come home
I'm - so cold, let me in your window
