Creepin' Up On You
creepin' up on you is the wrong thing to do / I found your address got your phone number too / visit all the stores where you buy all your clothes / been to secret places you think nobody knows / if I have to breathe without you / nobody should / I need to be around you / watching you
-->chorus: no one else can love you like I do / feel it when I'm creepin' up on you / I know that it wouldn't be right / if I stayed all night / just to peek in on you / creepin' up on you
I been hanging round all the places you haunt / spying on your friends to find out what you want / drinking from the glass that you left on the bar / follow you around driving home in your car / do I have to breathe without you? / cause nobody could / I need to be around you / watching you
-->chorus
this must be wrong / it can't go on / this kind of thing / it's taking all my sanity and making a mockery / this must be wrong / it can’t go on / so won't somebody free me / from this misery / bring my baby closer to me
-->chorus twice
Crush (1980 Me)
Cyndi Lauper, Jackson, Simon Le Bon / I put Eurythmics on Poppin' and Lockin' / in the U.S.A / day glo sweater tied around my neck / studded denim, big hair, acid wash / Rubik's Cube, my boom box / You know it's alright / I promise you tonight / All you gotta do is / choose life
-->chorus 1: got a little crush / I just can't get enough / of that stuff / it's such a rush / 1980 Me / got a little crush / I just can't get enough / of that stuff / It's such a rush / 1980 Me
frosted lipstick, parachute pants / Doc Martins, Dead Can Dance / Culture Club, the Go Go's / Pretty In Pink, PacMan, Asteroids / Miami Vice, too early for Vanilla Ice / Crimpin', the poodle perm, and blond highlights / you know it's alright / I promise you tonight / All you gotta say is / have a nice day
-->chorus 1
-->chorus 2: dance baby / you know you’re gonna have such a good time / welcome to 1980 Me / dance baby / you know it’s gonna be alright / welcome to 1980 Me
I wish that I could be eleven again / that E.T was my friend / you know that life was so simple then / times have changed / never be the same / the memory remains / and the melody inside my heart / you know it's alright / no matter how it goes / all you gotta do is just say no
-->chorus 1
-->chorus 2
Dirty
lookin' like first class acting like a cheap date / honey drippin' smile so stylin' / bet you know what you do don't you baby? / eyes that penetrate / heat that denigrates / lust communicates / I can hardly wait to get to you and show you baby
-->chorus: if you want to I can be dirty too / I can spin you around / pick you up and go down / if you want to I can be just like you / and do the dirty things you do
walk into a room / imperceptible boom / tight shot close zoom / when you move it's assumed / you feel it too don't you baby? / tickin' like a fuse / there's an itch I gotta scratch / ten minutes in a room / get this monkey off my back / any dark space would do / to show you baby
-->chorus
why don't you tell me your sign? / I hear we're two of a kind / scorpio I been told / you're my most compatible ride / let me tell you again you make me wanna pop! / jack into the movie inside my brain / I never wanna stop can you do that again / you make me wanna bam! / shut the blinds baby let the door slam / intergalactic super bombastic / go from the top baby / don't ever stop 'till I tell you to
-->chorus
scorpio I been told / you're my most compatible ride / fade to black / commercial break / this is where the censor kicks in / I think you better close your eyes / block your ears / this could be the jam of the year
Falling At Your Feet
and when you walk into the room / I feel the world dissolve / I fall at your feet / and when you look at me / I swear the beating of my heart's about to cease / ooh you make me wanna / deny the world / deny the man I wanna be / deny the oxygen that moves inside of me / deny my friends / deny the sensibility / I am surrounded now / I only wonder how
-->chorus: sparks fly when our worlds collide / I am falling at your feet / stars shine so much brighter / you make me wanna sit right by / and watch the world falling at your feet
ooh oooh oooh / and when you speak to me / I can't wait for the next word to fall out of your mouth / and when you close your eyes / I wonder what the thoughts look like / you never let out / ooh you make me wanna / deny the world / deny the man I wanna be / deny the food that brings me energy I need / deny myself my individualality / I am surrounded now / I only wonder how
-->chorus
ohhhh oohhhhhhhhh / and if loosing myself means becoming a part of you / then I know I'm becoming something beautiful too / hoooooooooooooo oooooh ohhhhhhhh / you make me wanna be a better man / and when you walk into the room / I feel the world dissolve / I fall at your feet / and when you look at me / I swear the beating of my heart's about to cease
sparks fly when our worlds collide / I am falling at your feet / stars shine so much brighter / you make me wanna sit right by / and watch the world spin around / and watch the / sparks fly when our worlds collide / I am falling at your feet / the stars shine so much brighter / you make me wanna sit right by / I feel 10 feet high / I make the colors seem brighter / and my only desire / is sitting right by you and watch the world falling at your feet / oooh ooohoohhh / 'cause when you look at me / oh when you look at me / you make me wanna be a better man / sparks fly when our worlds collide / I am falling at your feet / oooh oooh / stars shine so much brighter / I feel you look at me / and when you look at me / oh when you look at me
Good Enough
if I woke up late / couldn't get out of bed / if I bought you a café latte instead / if I lied when I said 32 inches was the size of my waist / and if I admit every once in a while / even though I dig alternative style / occasionally I can be caught dancin' to Britney / and can I confess that art house doesn't turn me on / but I like every single thing that Speilberg's done
-->chorus: could I be good enough / could I be good enough / if the going got worse / and the worse got rough / the days became endless and harder than tough / I'd be good enough / better than best would be simply to be good enough / if everything I give doesn't seem like a lot / if it's all that I got / baby tell that could be good enough
where I grew up the rent was cheap / but we always had enough to eat / didn't have fancy clothes / I never really cared cause there were shoes on my toes / and motherly love I knew it like the back of my hand / she always had a way to make me understand
-->chorus
cause I don't know which way this road is gonna turn / but I know it's gonna be fine / but there are some days no matter how much I've learned / that the road gets tough / and I don't feel good enough / but if you're giving me some of that loving / could you pass some over / let me cry on your shoulder / and tell me / baby I could be good enough / if I lost my job and my hair fell out / if I made no sense and I scream and shout / would you laugh at me? / never take a word I say seriously / and if I'm out in the cold waiting in the back of the line / too afraid to drop my name for fear of decline
-->chorus
I need to know that I could be good enough / because everybody wants to feel good enough / show me baby tell me come on and prove it / baby give it to me
Heart Attack
I’ve cracked / my temper’s spat / hot coal, fire and acid jack / I’ve been used / I feel abused / something you’ve done has lit my fuse / and I take my theories back / maybe Karma ain’t all that / cause you do whatever you please / everybody else is left to bleed
-->chorus: you’re a heart attack / and your heart is black / it’s whack / your mind is stacked / tell me how did anybody ever get like that? / you’re a heart attack / you stabbed me in the back / if you pull your punches jack / I’m taking everything back / you hit me harder than a heart attack
we used to stick together / you and me stay that way forever / but now to my surprise / you’ve become what we despised / what’s that they’re telling me? / sleeping with the enemy! / going down on dirty sheets / didn’t nobody tell you how to be discreet?
-->chorus
you’re dancing while I’m dying / laughing while I’m crying / denying the mess you made / your true colors are clashing / this airplane is crashing / it’s smashing / were you even there? / cause I don’t think you care / about anyone but yourself now / go run but you can’t hide / actions they can’t be denied / once thing keeps buggin’ me / tell me how you sleep at night / I need to set things right / shake things up / modify / change plans and break the rules / play the game like you do fool
-->chorus
The Heart Wants What It Wants
you say one thing and there I go turning around again / working things over better left unsaid / spinning around in my head / talking a moment / too personally / I have told you just half the words I've wanted to give you / fear of rejection keeps my heart at bay / feelings I'd rather not say / I'd rather have you close / than never at all / but every now and then / when my world is closing in / I feel you breezin' through my mind / I can attempt to close my eyes / I can avoid the wrong or right / but something deep inside / says my heart wants what it wants
-->chorus: baby / stay away / do the right thing / I know I should run / but my heart wants what it wants / baby / stay away / do the right thing / I know I should run / you know the heart wants what it wants
you do one thing and then I go / always imagining / reciprocating feelings that aren't there / sometimes I think you're aware / your body language it gives you away / maybe I should run / turn my back / head for the sun / feelings left to come undone / maybe you like what's goin' on / deep down inside I know it's wrong / I know I should run / but the heart wants what it wants
-->chorus
it's not even a love affair / I'm makin' plans with the ghost of what was there / I've become a desperate fool / and it's all because of you
-->chorus twice
baby / stay away / do the right thing baby / because the heart wants / what the heart needs / can the heart get / what the heart wants
I Can't Ever Get Enough of You
well I know that I have only ever held your hand / but just one touch is more than enough to understand / there's a master plan / and although I know I don't believe in destiny / maybe it found me / now my world is filled with so many things / but nothing compares to the touch of your skin / there's a symphony / and a melody that plays whenever you're around / I think I've been found
-->chorus: I can see the sun / and I can feel the rain / I can hear the wind call your name / I can feel your love / but there's one thing I can't do / I can't ever get enough of you
now I know that in the past I've been much too keen / but your eyes are the kindest that I've ever seen / I guess there are some things you just know / there's a voice inside telling me to hold on / and never let you go / there's a tune that plays / it's a sacred sound / it's a symphony I hear whenever you're around / now my world is filled / with a whisper of love and a promise of tomorrow
-->chorus
when we make love I lose track of time / I can't count all the colors I see in your eyes / and while your heart beats in mine, it's true / I can't ever get enough of you / Now my world is filled with so many things / but nothing compares to the touch of your skin / there's a symphony / and a melody that plays whenever you're around / I think I've been found
-->chorus twice
I Miss You
give me a reason / why I’m feeling so blue / everytime I close my eyes all I see is you / give me a reason / why I can’t feel my heart / everytime you leave my side I just fall apart / and when you’re fast asleep / I wonder where you go / can you tell me / I wanna know
-->chorus: because I miss you / and this is all I wanna say / I guess I miss you beautiful / these three words have said it all / you know I miss you / I think about you when you’re gone / I guess I miss you / nothing’s wrong / I don’t need to carry on
but give me a reason / why I can’t concentrate / the world is turning upside down / spinning round and round / now give me a reason / why I now understand / the beauty and simplicity of everything surrounding me / you've got a way of spreading magic everywhere / anywhere I go I know you’re always there / it sounds ridiculous, but when you leave a room / there’s a part of me that just wants to follow you too
-->chorus
it’s such a hard life anf most of the time I’m just surviving / that’s why I want you to know / in the world where sincerity has lost its meaning / you fill my world with so much hope
-->chorus
you know I miss you / and this all I wanna say / I guess I miss you, beautiful / these three words have said it all / you know I miss you / and this is all I wanna do / I know it doesn’t sound too cool / but maybe I’m in love with you / You know I miss you / and this all I wanna say / I guess I miss you, nothing’s wrong / I don’t need to carry on / I just miss you / yeah, it’s true / I miss you, baby / and when you’re walking out that door / I know I miss you / you make me wanna ask for more / I just miss you / yeah, it’s true / I miss you, baby
In Your Eyes
Insatiable
when the night crawls along the street / chasing away the summer heat / footsteps outside somewhere down below / the world revolves, I'd let it go / we build our church above the street / we practice love between these sheets / the candy sweetness scent of you / invades my skin, I'm stained in you
and all I have to do is hold you / it's racing through in my heart / and I am barely touching you
-->chorus: turn the lights down low / take it off and show my love for you / insatiable / turn me on, never stop / wanna taste every drop / my love for you / insatiable
the moonlight plays upon your skin / a kiss that lingers takes me in / I fall asleep inside of you / there are no words, there's only truth / breathe in breathe out there is no sound / we move together up and down / we levitate our bodies soar / our feet don't even touch the floor
but nobody knows you like I do / this world don't understand / that I grow stronger in your hands
-->chorus
we never sleep, we're always holding hands / kissing for hours talking and making bliss / I feel like a better man / just being in the same room / we never sleep there's just so much to do / so much to say can't close my eyes when I'm with you / insatiable / the way I'm loving you
-->chorus
Lift Me Up
when I'm down and I'm locked and I'm searching for my soul / when I feel too much and I start to lose control / when I'm down so rough even enemy still wanna know / you still care for me say a pray for me and I know
-->prechorus: ooh I like you hanging around / cause you lift me up when I am upside down / ooh you're my favorite sound / cause you're always down for
-->chorus: lifting me up like an angel when I hit the ground / feel your arms all around me when I'm feeling down / lift me up like an angel when I hit my road / when your arm's all around me / I don't wanna let you go
when I lost long way and I can't face that another day / and if I stumble on the road and if I can't carry that road / if I lose my faith, kindness, generosity / would you hold my hand? / say you understand my pain
-->prechorus & chorus
it's been a long hard road and it's always just began my plan / and this I know you held me carry that road / cause you're always down for
lifting me up like an angel when I hit the ground / feel your arms all around me when I'm feeling down / lift me up like an angel when I hit my road / when you're always like.. / you're my favorite sound
-->chorus
I don't wanna let you go / cause you lift me up now / when you always around.. / and you're my favorite sound / lift me up now / you lift me up / lift me up now / yeah you always around / you're my favorite sound / lift me up / yeah
Like It Or Not
I've been broken, shut down and useless / feet above me / hands in the air / you got me falling over and over / you got me twisted tied up and tangled / I do it all for you / you know I've been a fool for you / I thought I tripped on a shoelace / I look down and it's only you
-->chorus: now I'm standing at a terminal waiting to connect to another plane / if I told you I just cancelled my flight to America / would you call me insane? / everything I am has been neatly contained into the contents of a Samsonite bag / me, a laptop, 2 suitcases and I'm coming to see you whether you like it or not / whether you like it or not
I've been put down, picked up and put off / I've been held up, pushed and shoved around / you got me falling over and over / I've been drifting this side and upside down / I do it all for you / you know I’ll be a fool for you / I keep thinking I've lost something / I look down and it's only you
-->chorus
how many forms can indecision take / when does the warning light appear before a man breaks / mine is a restless heart don't try to fix it / you know sometimes, sometimes I want it to ache / everything I am has been neatly contained into the contents of a Samsonite bag / me, a laptop, 2 suitcases and I'm coming to see you
-->chorus
Ride
ride come on / baby baby come on / baby baby come on
you only know one half of me / up until now it’s all I let you see / I used to reveal selectively / but now I’m changing / so baby come on inside / baby get on this ride / get closer to me / don’t you know that / it’s time to take control / to take what’s mine / gonna take it home / I think I’m about to fly so here we go
-->chorus: baby get on this ride with me / baby come on sit next to me / baby get on this ride hold on tight / 'cause we've got all night / baby get on this ride with me / I wanna feel you next to me / baby get on this ride/ hold on tight/ buckle up right now / baby come on
feels like I’ve been locked up all my life / held down, denied the right to fight / nobody else could do this right / I’m just arriving / baby get on this side / baby get on this ride / get closer to me / don’t you know that / it’s time I let you know / I got so much further that I could go / it’s time to start the show / so here we go
-->chorus
if you want what I want we won’t have a problem / you see in the past I just compromised / I’ve been taking a backseat but that’s not me no longer / I don’t feel shy / don’t want to hide / I’m ready to fly / now baby come on / come on / all you my people my people / tell me now / baby come on
-->chorus twice
tell me / my people my people / all you / my people my people
Right Dead Back On It
Sexual Healing
So Bad
when you move electricity pulses / and the crowd clears out of your way / when you dance it gets a little explosive / so look out I think I'm headed your way
-->prechorus: I'm movin' in fast / coming on strong / baby you're becoming my number one
-->chorus: you're so bad (so bad) / ooh the best time I've had / dancing like you wanna make your daddy mad / you're so bad (so bad) / ooh the best time I've had / I'm coming in fast / coming on strong / you're dancing like you wanna prove your mamma wrong
when you talk to me I'm not even listening / it's your lips not in the things that you say / when you walk it's not about your direction / it's a chance to see the way your hips sway
-->prechorus & chorus
I bet you never hear no / bet you get what you want / there's no one who'd dare deny you / and if you feel insecure / if in doubt if unsure / a mirror will surely remind you / you're so bad (so bad) / so bad
-->prechorus
-->chorus twice
so bad / so bad / you're so bad / you're so bad / so bad / so bad / so so bad / so bad / you're so bad / so bad / so bad
Spin
governments elected nobody votes / politically correct isn't that a joke / we censor music then give children guns / on CNN Still fighting to death over Jerusalem / four letter disease still makes us run / can't comprehend that you can die from love / can I start things over / and change your mind / can I sing a melody / press rewind / can I move your feet make your heart skip a beat / can a simple tune flow through you?
-->chorus 1: when the music feels like this / when you lose control you gotta go with it / ten feet high / flyin' above the sky / your problems don't exist / when music feels like this
no money left in Africa / starving to death in Bosnia / we close our eyes and hide a nation cries / and in the west / TV possessed and weight obsessed / the media dissects, infects / we think real life is reality TV / can I have your attention / and press rewind / when the DJ spins / will it change your mind? / can I move your feet / make your heart skip a beat / can a piece of me / flow through you?
-->chorus 1
-->chorus 2: when the music feels like this / DJ take control / and grab a hold of me / spin that wheel / tell me how to feel / I like the shape I'm in / when music feels like this
bringin' the beat back / stompin' the floor / dancin' like a booty never bounced before / poppin' to the back beat / up on the one / smack jack freakin' / now you're overcome
-->chorus 1
-->chorus 2
let the music in / let the DJ spin / let the music in / cause the music should feel like this / feel the music
Strange Relationship
do you love me? / or am I just another trip? / in this strange relationship / you push and pull me / 'till I'm about to lose my mind / is this just a waste of time? / keep acting like you own me / I keep running / watch me walkin' out that door / I hear you behind me
-->chorus: gimme that strange relationship / never felt pleasure and pain like this / something so right but it feels so terribly wrong / I keep holding on / gimme that strange relationship / one of us gotta let go of this / I keep pushing and you keep holding on / I'm already gone
do you love me? / we break up and back together / and I swear to myself never / but oh how you do me / you strip me of my honor / and I don't ever think I'm gonna / break free of these mind games / all I'm tryin' to do is modify my plan / cause I can't contain you
-->chorus
you keep acting like you own me / like you control me / you said you never really wanted me back / well maybe that's a fact / may I suggest a brand new plan of attack / and in defense of that / you're hard to crack / you're way off track / I want you back / I want you gone / maybe I'm sick of holding on / do you love me? / or am I just another trip in this strange relationship?
-->chorus
What You Like
I want to thank you my friend / for making me feel worthwhile / sweeter than the honey of your lips / and kindness in your smile / hand in hand we float across the room / explosions deep inside / cheek to cheek, there's clouds under my feet / there's only you and I
-->chorus: please tell me what you like / does that feel nice / give me a sign if you love it / I can do it again / we've got the rest of the night to get it right / please tell me what you like / if that feels nice / give me a sign if you love it / I can do it again / we've got the rest of our lives to get it right
lookin' back on lonely nights / searching for love again / I never knew my journey began / and ended with you my friend / softer than your butterfly kisses / and stronger than my desire / I wanna thank you my friend / for making me feel alive
-->chorus
I'll never mess it up again / won't let it slip like grains of sand / through careless fingertips because I'm a man who understands / though burned by the fire / I can learn to feel the light again / and listen I can hear your demands / I know I can do it give me one more chance / baby here I am
-->chorus
When You Say You Love Me
I've been watching you from afar / and the way you make your way around the bar / you laugh like you're really entertained / and you smile like it's your favorite game / now you're moving closer to me / and our eyes have connected emotionally / not looking for a one night stand / or a place where a broken heart can mend / I know everybody here wants to hold you / I know what it's like 'cause I feel the same / when you look in my eyes there's a part of me that's still afraid
-->chorus: and when you say you love me do you mean it? / baby when you hold me do you feel it? / should I believe the magic in your eyes? / I will wait until the end of time / to hear you say you love me like you mean it / baby when you hold me make me feel it / all I wanna do is make you mine / I've been hurt way too many times
they say if you wanna make God laugh / then all you gotta do is tell him your plan / and I know that the timing's not right / didn't know I would meet you tonight / it's not that I don't really like the attention / I feel luckier than men in the room / are you really sincere? / is this just something that you do?
-->chorus
again and again and again I've been hurt my friend till the end / you know I've been high I've been low I got no place left to go / again and again and again will this search ever end?
and when you say you love me do you mean it? / baby when you hold me do you feel it? / should I believe the magic in your eyes? / I will wait until the end of time / to hear you say you love me, do you mean it? / oh baby when you hold me / when you hold me make me feel it / should I believe the magic in your eyes? / I will wait until the end of time / to hear you say you love me / come on baby say you love me
Where You Want To Be
hey there stranger / do you remember? / you were a part of my life / early December / think I remember? / sentiment cuts like a knife / the seasons are changing / life's rearranging / full of could-have-dones / would-have-beens / it's all your fault / and where've you been / and how times goes / and though I don't even know / how to fill in the spaces / of the love you've erased in my life
-->chorus: are you where you wanted to be? / did you get there easily? / did I make you sacrifice? / did you make a sharp left / when you should have turned right? / are you where you wanted to be? / did you sell off all of your gold / did you trade it in? / did you wait for love / or settle for somebody to hold?
and barely symphonic / but strangely ironic / moments contained in one glance / oh how I adored you / but now I'm ignored by you / no evidence of romance / and how it's vaguely familiar / I think I remember sharing every single intimacy / it doesn't seem so strange to me that we barely entertained / even the politest of phrases / but sometimes at night / I conjure you up in my mind
-->chorus
while I was busy / perfecting the art / of deflecting compliments / I took it too far / and I let a ripple run right through my heart / of battle stations we're building / you and I just grew apart / we grew apart / while I decided / to make everyone else happy / I just put aside my foolish pride / I guess I denied my own desire / I was too busy pleasing / to ever be pleased / I forgot how to breathe / or question anything / or ask why? / am I?
am I where I wanted to be? / did I get here easily? / did I make a sacrifice? / did I take a sharp left / when I should have turned right? / am I where I wanted to be? / can I sell off all of my gold? / can I trade it in? / will I wait for love / or settle for somebody to hold / I'd settle for somebody to hold now
you know that I've been up and I've been down / I've been picked up and spun around / I'd do it all again / if I could just have somebody to hold now / I just need somebody to hold me now / could somebody hold me now? / I just want somebody to hold me now / I'd do it all again
