JESUS TO A CHILD

Kindness in your eyes
I guess you heard me cry
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
I'm blessed I know
Heaven sent and heaven stole
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned from all this pain
I thought I never feel the same
About anyone or anything again
But now I know

Chorus:
When you find a love
When you know that it exists
Then the lover that you miss
Will come to you on these cold, cold nights
When you've been loved
When you know it holds such bliss
Then the lover that you kissed
Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight

Sadness in my eyes
No one guessed and no one tried
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
Loveless and cold
With your last breath you saved my soul
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned from all these tears
I've waited for you all those years
Then just when it began he took your love away
But I still say

Chorus

So the words you couldn't say
I'll sing them for you
And the love we would have made
I'll make it for two
For every single memory
Has become a part of me

You will always be...my love

Well I've been loved so I know just what love is
And the lover that I kissed is always by my side
Oh the lover I still miss... was Jesus to a child

Freundlichkeit in deinen Augen
Ich vermute, du hörtest mich weinen
Du lächeltest mich an wie Jesus ein Kind
Ich bin gesegnet, ich weiss
Der Himmel gibt und der Himmel nimmt
Du lächeltest mich an wie Jesus ein Kind
Und was habe ich gelernt von all dem Schmerz
Ich dachte ich würde niemals mehr das gleiche empfinden
für irgendjemanden oder irgendetwas
Aber jetzt weiss ich

Refrain:
Wenn du Liebe findest
wenn du weisst das sie existiert
dann wird der Geliebte den du vermisst
zu dir kommen in diesen kalten, kalten Nächten
Wenn du geliebt wurdest
Wenn du weisst, daß es dieses Glück aufrecht erhält
dann wird der Geliebte den du küsstest
dich trösten wenn keine Hoffnung in Sicht ist

Traurigkeit in meinen Augen
Niemand vermutete, nun niemand versuchte es
Du lächeltest mich an wie Jesus ein Kind
lieblos und kalt
Mit deinem letzten Atem hast du meine Seele gerettet
Du lächeltest mich an wie Jesus ein Kind
Und was habe ich gelernt von all diesen Tränen
Ich habe all die Nächte auf dich gewartet
denn gerade als es begann nahm er deine Liebe
aber ich sage noch immer

Refrain 1x

Weil du die Wörter nicht sagen kannst
werde ich sie für dich singen
Und die Liebe die wir erlebt hätten
ich werde sie für uns beide erleben
Weil jede einzelne Erinnerung
ein Teil von mir geworden ist

Du wirst immer...meine Liebe sein

Nun, ich wurde geliebt, so weiss ich einfach was Liebe bedeutet
und der Geliebte den ich küsste ist für immer an meiner Seite
Oh, der Geliebte den ich noch immer vermisse... war Jesus zu einem Kind

FATHER FIGURE

That's all I wanted
Something special, something sacred
In your eyes
For just one moment
To be bold and naked
At your side

Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
Maybe this time is forever
Say it can be

That's all you wanted
Something special, someone sacred
In your life
Just for one moment
To be warm and naked
At my side

Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
But something tells me together
We'd be happy (Baby)

I will be your father figure (Oh baby)
Put your tiny hand in mine (I'd love to)
I will be your preacher teacher (Be your daddy)
Anything you have in mind (It would make me)
I will be your father figure (Very happy)
I have had enough of crime (Please let me)
I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time

That's all I wanted
But sometimes love can be mistaken
For a crime
That's all I wanted
Just to see my baby's
Blue eyed shine
This time I think that my lover
Understands me
If we have faith in each other
Then we can be
Strong

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time

If you are the desert
I'll be the sea
If you ever hunger
Hunger for me
Whatever you ask for
That's what I'll be

So when you remember the ones who have lied
Who said that they cared
But then laughed as you cried
Beautiful Darling
Don't think of me

Because all I ever wanted
It's in your eyes baby, baby
And love can't lie, no... (Greet me with the eyes of a child)
My love is always tell me to... (Heaven is a kiss and a smile)
Just hold on, hold on
I won't let you go, my baby

I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime (So I am gonna love you)
Until the end of time

I will be your father
I will be your preacher
I will be your daddy
I will be the one who loves you until the end of time

CARELESS WHISPER

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies,
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes

Chorus:
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

Chorus

Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But who's now gonna dance with me
Please stay

Chorus

Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
What I did so wrong
So wrong that you had to leave me alone

DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME (WITH ELTON JOHN)

I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

It's much too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded me by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

"Ladies and Gentlemen Mr. Elton John"

I can't find oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way feel
Don't discard me baby don't
Just because you think I mean you harm
Just because you think I mean you harm, oh
But these cuts I have, cuts I have
They need love
They need love, they need love to help them heal

Oh, Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
'Cause losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I that see, yeah
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free baby, oh
'Cause losing everything is like the sun going down on me

YOU HAVE BEEN LOVED

She takes the back road and the lane
Past the school that has no changed
In all this time
She thinks of when the boy was young
All the battles she had won
Just to give him life

That man
She loved that man
For all his life
But now we meet to bring him flowers
And only God knows why

For what's the use in pressing palms
When children fade in mother's arms
It's a cruel world
We've so much to loose
And what we have to learn we rarely choose

So if it's God who took her son
He cannot be the one living in her mind

Take care my love, she said
Don't think that God is dead
Take care my love, she said

You have been loved

If I was weak, forgive me
But I was terrified
You brushed my eyes with angels wings, full of love
The kind that makes devils cry

So these days
My life has changed
And I'll be fine
But she just sits and counts the hours
Searching for her crime

So what's the use of pressing palms
If you won't keep such love from harm
It's a cruel world
You've so much to prove
And heaven helps the ones who wait for you

Well I've no daughters, I've no sons
Guess I'm the only one
Living in my life

Take care my love, he said
Don't think that God is dead
Take care my love, he said

You have been loved

Sie nimmt die Hinterstrasse und die Gasse
Vorbei an der Schule, die sich nicht verändert hat
In all dieser Zeit
Sie denkt daran, als der Junge jung war
All die Kämpfe, die sie gewonnen hat
Einfach um ihm Leben zu geben

Diesen Mann
Sie liebte diesen Mann
sein ganzes Leben
Aber jetzt treffen wir uns, um ihm Blumen zu bringen
und nur Gott weiss warum

Was nützt das Händedrücken
Wenn Kinder in den Armen ihrer Mütter verblassen?
Es ist eine grausame Welt
Wir haben so viel zu verlieren
Und was wir zu lernen haben, wählen wir selten

Wenn es Gott ist, der ihren Sohn nahm
er kann nicht der einzige sein, der in ihrer Seele lebt

Pass auf mein Liebling, sagte sie
Glaube nicht, daß Gott tot ist
Pass auf mein Liebling, sagte sie

Du wurdest geliebt

Wenn ich schwach war, verzeih mir
Aber ich war erschrocken
Du hast meine Augen mit Engelsflügeln gestreift, voller Liebe
Die Art, die Teufel zum weinen bringt

Diese Tage
mein Leben hat sich verändert
Und ich werde mich gut fühlen
Aber sie sitzt einfach da und zählt die Stunden
nach ihrem Verbrechen suchend

Was nützt das Händedrücken
wenn du eine solche Liebe nicht vom Unglück fernhalten willst?
Es ist eine grausame Welt
Du hast so viel zu bewahren
Und der Himmel hilft denjenigen, die auf dich warten

Nun, ich habe keine Töchter, ich habe keine Söhne
Ich bin wohl der einzige
in meinem Leben lebend

Pass auf mein Liebling, sagte sie
Glaube nicht, daß Gott tot ist
Pass auf mein Liebling, sagte sie

Du wurdest geliebt

KISSING A FOOL

You are far,
When I could have been your star,
You listened to people,
Who scared you to death, and from my heart,
Strange that you were strong enough,
To even make a start,
But you'll never find
Peace of mind,
Til you listen to your heart,

People,
You can never change the way they feel,
Better let them do jus twhat they will,
For they will,
If you let them,
Steal your heart from you,
People,
Will always make a lover feel a fool,
But you knew I loved you,
We could have shown them all,
We should have seen love through,

Fooled me with the tears in your eyes,
Covered me with kisses and lies,
So goodbye,
But please don't take my heart,

You are far,
I'm never gonna be your star,
I'll pick up the pieces
And mend my heart,
Maybe I'll be strong enough,
I don't know where to start,
But I'll never find
Peace of mind,
While I listen to my heart,

People,
You can never change the way they feel,
Better let them do just what they will,
For they will,
If you let them,
Steal your heart,

And people,
Will always make a lover feel a fook,
But you knew I loved you,
We could have shown them all,

But remember this,
Every other kiss,
That you ever give
Long as we both live
When you need the hand of another man,
One you really can surrender with,
I will wait for you,
Like I always do,
There's something there,
That can't compete with any other,

You are far,
When I could have been your star,
You listened to people,
Who scared you to death, and from my heart,
Strange that I was wrong enough,
To think you'd love me too.
I guess you were kissing a fool,
You must have been kissing a fool.

I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me

'Cause I can't make you love me If you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart, and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
And I can't make you love me
If you don't

I'll close my eyes and then I won't see
The love you do not feel, when you're holding me
Morning will come, and I'll do what's right
Just give me til then, to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

And I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
And here in the dark in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no, you won't
And I can't make you love me
If you don't

Ain't no use in you trying
It's no good for me baby without love
All my tears, all these years, everything I believed in
Baby

HEAL THE PAIN

Let me tell you a secret
Put it in your heart and keep it
Something that I want you to know
Do something for me
Listen to my simple story
And maybe we'll have someting to show

You tell me you're cold on the inside
How can the outside world
Be a place that your heart can embrace
Be good to yourself
Because nobody else
Has the power to make you happy

How can I help you
Please let me try to
I can heal the pain
That you're feeling inside
Whenever you want me
You know that I will be
Waiting for the day
That you say you'll be mine

He must have really hurt you
To make you say the things that you do
He must have really hurt you
To make those pretty eyes look so blue

He must have known
That he could
That you'd never leave him
Now you can't see my love is good
And that I'm not him

How can I help you
Please let me try to
I can heal the pain
That you're feeling inside
Whenever you want me
You know that I will be
Waiting for the day
That you say you'll be mine

Who needs a lover
That can't be a friend
Something tells me I'm the one you've been looking for
If you ever should see him again
Won't you tell him you've found someone who gives you more

Someone who will protect you
Love and respect you
All those things
That he never could bring to you
Like I do
Or rather I would
Won't you show me your heart
Like you should

Won't you let me in
Let this love begin
Won't you show me your heart now
I'll be good to you
I can make this thing true
And get to your heart somehow

A MOMENT WITH YOU

(You can't keep holding it in when it's something good)

Hey this won't take much time
We won't touch, we'll just wait for signs
And nothing was futher from my mind
Than this moment with you

But ifyou'd only told me baby
I would have made some other plans
If I'd only seen it sooner
But what away with your hands you had
I wanted that moment with you

I know that is wrong
But "if you need me, I'm here", turns me on
I can't help thinking its a miracle you're here
I can't help thinking its a miracle

Say, don't waste much time
We don't touch, do we baby?
But still my handsare tied
For that moment with you

But if you'd only told me baby
I would have made some other plans
If I'd only seen it sooner
But what away with your hands you had
I wanted that moment with you

You know that I'm strong
And I've no reason to fear, am I wrong?
I can't help thinking its a miracle you're here
I can't help thinking its a miracle
I can't help thinking its a american
I can't help thinking its a miracle
I can't help thinking its a miracle you're here

You can't keep holding it in when it's something good
Get up, get up
You can't keep holding it in when it's something good
Get up, get up

And who can you trust? dealing out justice
With a minimum of fuss
Who baby
Dealing out justice...

DESAFINADO (WITH ASTRUD GILBERTO)

Se você disser que eu desafino amor
Saiba que isso em mim provoca imensa dôr
Só previlegiados têm ouvido igual ao seu
Eu possuo apenas o que deus me deu

E se você insiste em classificar
Com o meu comportamento de anti musical
Eu mesmo vou mentir ate vuo comentar
Que isso é bossa-nova
Que isso e muito natural que você nao ssabe nem sequer pressente

É que os desafinados tambem tem um
coracao
Fotografei você na minha role-flix
Revelou-se a sua enorme engratiado

Só nao podera falar assim do meu amor
Que bem maior que você pode encontrar
Você passau a musica e esqueceu o
principal
Que no peito bate calado
No peito dos desafinados tambem bate um
coracau
top


Desafinado In English:

If you say my singing is off key, my love
You would hurt my feelings, don't you see, my love?
I wish I had an ear like yours,
A voice that would behave
All I have is feeling
And the voice God gave

You insist my music goes against the rules
Yes, but rules were never made for lovesick fools
I wrote this song for you
But you don't care
It's a crooked song, ah,
But my heart is there

The thing that you would see if you would play the part
Is even if I'm out of tune I have a gentle heart
I took your picture with my trusty Rolleiflex
And now all I have developed is complex

Possibly in vain, I hope you weaken, oh my love
And forget those rigid rules that undermine my dream of
A life of love and music with someone who'll understand

That even though I may be out of tune when I attempt to say
How much I love you
And all that matters is the message that I bring,
Which is: my dear one, I love you

COWBOYS AND ANGELS

When your heart's in someone else's hands
Monkey see and monkey do
Their wish is your command
You're not to blame
Everyone's the same

All you do is love and love is all you do
I should know by now, the way I fought for you
You're not to blame
Everyone's the same

I know you think that you're safe
Mister
Harmless deception
That keeps love at bay
It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss
Wouldn't you say?

Cowboys and angels
They all have the time for you
Why should I imagine
That I'd be a find for you
Why should I imagine
That I'd have something to say

But that scar on your face
That beautiful face of yours
In your heart there's a trace
Of someone before

When your heart's in someone else's plans
Things you say and things you do
They don't understand
It's such a shame
Always ends the same

You can call it love but I don't think it's true
You should know by now
I'm not the boy for you
You're not to blame
Always ends the same

I know you think that you're safe
Sister
Harmless affection
That keeps things this way
It's the ones who persist for the sake of a kiss
Who will pay
Cowboys and angels
They all take a shine to you
Why should I imagine that I was designed for you
Why should I believe
That you would stay

But that scar on your face
That beautiful face of yours
Don't you think that I know
They've hurt you before

Take this man to your bed
Maybe his hands will help you forget
Please be stronger than your past
The future may still give you a chance

PRAYING FOR TIME

These are the days of the open hand
They might just be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers

This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance
And legitimate excuses

The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much
But we'll take our chances
'Cause God's stopped keeping score
I guess somewhere along the way
He must have let us all out to play
Turned his back and all God's children
Crept out the back door

And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it's much too much too late
Well maybe we should all be praying for time

These are the days of the empty hand
Oh you hold on to what you can
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year

This is the year of the guilty man
Your television takes a stand
And you find that what was over there is over here

So you scream from behind your door
Say what's mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much but I'll take my chances
'Cause God's stopped keeping score
And you cling to the things they sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
That he can't come back
'Cause he has no children to come back for

It's hard to love there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
So maybe we should all be praying for time

ONE MORE TRY

I've had enough of danger
And people on the streets
I'm looking out for angels
Just trying to find some peace
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me
Say you love me
But if you don't
Just let me go...

'Cos teacher
There are things that I don't want to learn
And the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn't feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
That look in your eyes
Telling me no
So you think that you love me
Know that you need me
I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
Just let me go...

And teacher
There are things
That I don't want to learn
Oh the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine

Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
So when you say that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong, you're not that strong
Let me go

And teacher
There are things
That I still have to learn
But the one thing I have is my pride
Oh so I don't want to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Who just isn't willing to try

I'm so cold
Inside
Maybe just one more try...

Ich hatte genug von der Gefahr
und von den Leuten auf den Strassen
Ich halte Ausschau nach Engeln
Versuche einfach etwas Frieden zu finden
Ich glaube jetzt es ist Zeit
dßs du es mich wissen lässt
Wenn du mich liebst,
sag, daß du mich liebst
aber wenn du es nicht tust,
dann lass mich gehen...

Denn mein Lehrer,
da sind die Dinge, die ich nicht lernen will
Und das letzte, das ich hatte
brachte mich zum weinen
Ich will nicht lernen
dich zu halten, dich zu berühren
Denke, daß du mir gehörst,
weil es keine Freude macht
für einen Stadtjungen
dessen Lehrer ihm auf Wiedersehen gesagt hat, auf Wiedersehen

Als du nur ein Fremder warst
und ich dir zu Füssen lag
habe ich nicht die Gefahr gespürt
Jetzt fühle ich die Hitze
Dieser Blick in deinen Augen
sagt mir "nein"
Du denkst, daß du mich liebst,
weisst, daß du mich brauchst
Ich schrieb diesen Song, ich weiss, es ist falsch
lass mich einfach gehen...

Und Lehrer,
da sind die Dinge, die ich nicht lernen will
Oh das letzte, das ich hatte
brachte mich zum weinen
Also will ich nicht lernen
dich zu halten, dich zu berühren
Denke, daß du mir gehörst

Weil es keine Freude macht
für einen Stadtjungen
dessen Lehrer ihm auf Wiedersehen gesagt hat, auf Wiedersehen
Wenn du also sagst, daß du mich brauchst
daß du mich nie verlassen wirst
Ich weiß, du liegst falsch, du bist nicht so stark
laß mich gehen

Und Lehrer,
da sind die Dinge,
die ich noch lernen muß
Aber eine Sache, die ich habe, ist mein Stolz
Also will ich nicht lernen
dich zu halten, zu berühren
denken, daß du mir gehörst
Weil es keine Freude macht
für einen Stadtjungen,
der sich nicht bemüht es zu versuchen

Ich bin so kalt
im Inneren
Vielleicht nur ein weiterer Versuch...

A DIFFERENT CORNER

I'd say love was a magical thing
I'd say love would keep us from pain
Had I been there, had I been there

I would promise you all of my life
But to lose you would cut like a knife
So I don't dare, no I don't dare

'Cause I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
And I'm so scared, I'm so scared

Take me back in time maybe I can forget
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Would you care

I don't understand it, for you it's a breeze
Little by little you've brought me to my knees
Don't you care

No I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
I'm so scared of this love

And if all that there is is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused
If I could, I would, I swear

OUTSIDE

I think I'm done with the Sofa

I think I'm done with the Kitchen table, baby...

Let's go outside (letīs go outside)
In the sunshine

Let's go outside
In the moonshine
Take me to the places that I love best

so my angel she says, don't you worry
ībout the things you're saying, yeah
got no friends in high places
and the game that you gave away
Wasn't worth playing

Let's go outside
In the Sunshine
I know you want to, but you can't say yes
In the meantime
Take me to the places that I love best

And yes, I've been bad
Doctor, wonīt you do with me what you can
You see I think about it all the time
Twenty - four - seven

You say I want it, You got it
I never really said it before
There nothing here, but flesh and bone
There's nothing more, nothing more
there's nothing more

(Back to nature, just human nature
getting on back to)

I think I'm done with the Sofa
I think I'm done with the Hall
I think I'm done with the Kitchen table, baby

Let's go outside

Take me to the places that I love best

And yes, I've been bad
Doctor wonīt you do with me what you can
You see I think about it all the time
Iīd service the community

I never really said it before

There's nothing here but flesh and bone
There noting more
nothing more
there nothing more
letīs go outside

When the moon is high

AS (WITH MARY J. BLIGE)

As around the sun the Earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate know's love's the cure
You can rest your mind assured
That I'll be loving you always

As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing we'll grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
Do you know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (always)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4
(you know it's gonna be always)
Until the day is the day that are no more

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day

As today I know I'm living but tomorrow
Could make me the past but that I mustn't fear
(cos you're here)
Now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
And I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that 8X8X8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more

Did you know that true love asks for nothing?
(true love don't want a thing)
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
to last through forever and another day

As around the sun the earth know's she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind 'cause
And I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that 8X8X8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more

I'll be loving you forever

Always, always, always, always etc.....

FASTLOVE

Looking for some education
Made my way into the night
All that bullshit conversation
Baby can't you read the signs?

I won't bore you with the details baby
I don't even want to waste your time
Let's just say that maybe You could help to ease my mind
Baby, I ain't Mr. Right

Chorus:
But if you're looking for fastlove
If that's love in your eyes
It's more than enough
Had some bad luck
So fastlove is all that I've got on my mind

What's there to think about baby ?

Looking for some affirmation
Made my way into the sun
My friends got their ladies
They're all having babies
But I just want to have some fun

I won't bore you with the detail baby
Gotta get there on your own sweet time
Let's just say that maybe you could help to ease my mind
Baby, I ain't Mr. Right

Chorus

What's there to think about baby?
Get yourself some lessons in love

In the absence of security
I made my way into the night
Stupid Cupid keeps on calling me
But I see nothing in his eyes
I miss my baby
I miss my baby, oh yeah
So why don't we make a little room
In my BMW babe
Searching for some peace of mind
Hey I'll help you find it
I do believe that we are practicing
The same religion
You really ought to get up now

Looking for some affirmation?

FREEDOM '90

I won't let you down
I will not give you up
Gotta have some faith in the sound
It's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down
So please don't give me up
Because I would really, really love to stick around

Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me
To win the race? A prettier face!
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll TV
But today the way I play the game is not the same
No way
Think I'm gonna get me some happy

I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I told you so
There's something deep inside of me
There's someone else I've got to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take

Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy
What a kick just a buddy and me
We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy
We were living in a fantasy
We won the race
Got out of the place
I went back home got a brand new face
For the boys on MTV
But today the way I play the game has got to change
Oh yeah
Now I'm gonna get myself happy

I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I stopped the show
There's something deep inside of me
There's someone I forgot to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Don't think that I'll be back again
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take

Well it looks like the road to heaven
But it feels like the road to hell
When I knew which side my bread was buttered
I took the knife as well
Posing for another picture
Everybody's got to sell
But when you shake your ass
They notice fast
And some mistakes were built to last

That's what you get

I say that's what you get

That's what you get for changing your mind

And after all this time
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes
Do not make the man

I'll hold on to my freedom
May not be what you want from me
Just the way it's got to be
Lose the face now
I've got to live

STAR PEOPLE '97

Star people
Counting your money till you soul turns green
Star people
Counting the cost of your desire to be seen

I do not count myself among you
I may be living in a dream
It's just seem to many of you
Can't help but hope
There's a difference between... you and me

You're a star
(I'm talking to you)
You're a star

Maybe your mama gave you up boy
(It's the same old same old)
Maybe your daddy didn't love you enough girl

Star people
Never forget your secret safe with me
Just look at all wonderful people
Trying to forget they had to pay for what you see

It's a deam
With a nightmare stuck in the middle
But where would you be
Without all of that attention
You'd die
I'd die
We'd die wouldn't we
(Well wouldn't we)

Big, big star
Sould go far

Talk about your mother
Talk about your father
Talk about the people
Who have made you what you are
Talk about your teacher
The bully boy who beat you
Talk about the people who have paid
For that new sports car

Did you get off on a bad foot, baby
Do you have a little tale to tell
Is that why you're a star ?
Is that what makes a star ?
Nothing comes for nothing, baby
That fame and fortune's heaven sent
And who gives a f*** about your problems, darling
When you can pay the rent

How much is enough?

KILLER / PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE

So you want to be free
To live your life the way you wanna be
Will you give if we cry
Will we live or will we die

Tainted hearts heal with time
Shoot that love so we can stop the bleeding

Solitary brother
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?

Solitary sister
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?

Solitary brother
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?

Solitary sister
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?

It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died

Never had a chance to see him, no
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
And Mama looked at him and said...

"Papa was a rollin' stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left us was alone"

"Papa was a rollin' stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All he left us was alone"

I WANT YOUR SEX II

Oh so much love
That you've never seen
Let's make love
Put your trust in me

Don't you listen to what they told you
Because I love you
Let me hold you
Oh

I'm not your brother
I'm not your father
Oh will you ever change your mind
I'm a gentle lover with a heart of gold
But baby you've been so unkind...oh

Come on
I want your sex
Come on, I want your sex
That's right, all night
Oh, I want your sex
I want your...sex

Sexy baby's
Sexy body
Keeps me guessing
With a promise
I know we can come together
But the question is
Will we ever?

Sexy baby's
(Sexy baby's)
Sexy body
(Sexy body)
Keeps me guessing

Together - you and me

THE STRANGEST THING '97

Take my life
Time has been twisting the knife
I don't recognize people I care for
Take my dreams
Childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyse, please just be there for me

The things that I know nobody told me
The seeds that are sown they still control me

Chorus:
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing is I cannot get my eyes open

Take my hand
Lead me to some peaceful land
That I cannot find inside my head
Wake me with your love
It's all I need
But in all this time still no one said

If I had not asked would you have told me
If you call this love why don't you hold me

Chorus

Give me something I can hold
Give me something to believe in
I am frightened for my soul, please, please
Make love to me, send love through me, heal me with your crime
The only one who ever new me, we've waisted so much time
So much time

FANTASY

One day you say you love me
The next you tell me you don't
One day you say you will
And the next you tell me you won't
Hey little baby
There ain't much point in hanging around,
yeah

One day you make me feel like your love is
in my hands
One day you say you'll stay
The next you're changing your plans
Hey little baby
There ain't much point in hanging around
(There ain't much point in hanging
around,yeah)
'Cos if you ain't got time for me
I'll find another Fantasy

It is kind of funny that you think
That I am the boy to make you cry
I can make you happy If only for a while
little baby
I can give you all the loving that your
heart desires
If you ain't got time for me
I'll find another fantasy

I said it
It could be the price of love
Could the price of hate
What am I guilty of?
Why do you make me wait so long?
I don't know your intentions.
Look to the sky's above
I'm in the hands of fate
Push 'til it gets to shove
I've got to know for heavens sake
Is this love or invention?

'Cos baby can't you see
I'll find another Fantasy

Phew!

You hang around with people who are sure
to make you cry
I can make you happy if only for a while
little baby
Oh little baby I can give you all the lovin'
that your heart desires
(Your heart desires)

Oh yeah
If only for a while little baby
(Gonna make you feel so sexy, and if you
let me, baby)
Oh, little baby
I can give you all the lovin' that your heart
desires

If you ain't got time for me
I'll find another Fantasy.

You take someone's heart and you kick it
around
Keep on picking it up so you can watch it
come down
I don't know what I am suppose to do?
Why I wait for you to make up your mind?
Would you please be so kind?
When you know what to do
I'll be in the the next room
But if you make it to late
I may be in the next date
Hmm...

SPINNING THE WHEEL

Spin the wheel

Five o'clock in the morning
You ain't home
I can't help thinking that's strange
Baby I just want you to know
I won't go through this again
Yes, those clouds are closing in

Chorus:
And I will not accept this as a part of my life
I will not live in fear
Of what may be
And the lessons that I learned ...
I would rather be alone than watch you
Spinning that wheel for me

You've got a thing about danger
Ain't you getting what you want from me
You've got a thing about strangers
Baby that's what we used to be
You've got a thing about danger baby
I guess that hungry just can't see
One of this days you gonna bring some home to me

Six o'clock in the morning you ain't phoned
I can't help thinking it's strange
It seems that everybody
Takes their chances
These days
Oh yeah, we're standing in the rain

Chorus

How can you love me
When you're playing with my life
You say give me time and I'll do better I swear
Give me time and I'll lead you back to despair

And I don't want to go back there
top






WAITING FOR THAT DAY

Now every day I see you in some other face
They crack a smile, talk a while
Try to take your place
My memory serves me far too well

I just sit here on this mountain thinking to myself
You're a fool boy
Why don't you go down
Find somebody
Find somebody else
My memory serves me far too well

It's not as though we just broke up
It's not as though it was yesterday
But something I just can't explain
Something in me needs this pain
I know I'll never see your face again

C'mon now
I've got to be strong now

Now everybody's talking about this new decade
Like you say the magic numbers
Then just say goodbye to
The stupid mistakes you made
Oh my memory serves me far too well

Don't you know that
The years will come and go
Some of us will change our lives
Some of us still have nothing to show
Nothing baby
But memories

And if these wounds
They are self-inflicted
I don't really know
How my poor heart could have protected me
But if I have to carry this pain
If you will not share the blame

I deserve to see your face again

C'mon now
You don't have to be so strong now
Come back

Come back to me darling
I will make it worth your while
Come back to your baby
I miss your kiss
I miss your smile

Seems to me the peace I search to find
Ain't going to be mine until you say you will
Don't you keep me waiting for that day
I know
You hear these words that I say

You can't always get what you want

I KNEW YOU WERE WAITING (FOR ME) (WITH ARETHA FRANKLIN)

Like a warrior that fights
And win the battle
I know the taste of victory

Though I went through some nights
Consumed by the shadows
Ans was crippled emotionally

Somehow I made it through the heartace
I escaped
I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith
Kept my faith

And the river was deep I didnīt falter
When the mountain was high
I still believed
When the valley was low
It didnīt stop me
I knew you were waiting for me

With and endless desire
I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet

And like the bridge is on fire
The hurt is over
One touch and you set me free

I donīt regret a single moment
Looking back, when I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh, I just laugh

And the river was deep I didnīt falter
When the mountain was high
I still believed
When the valley was low
It didnīt stop me
I knew you were waiting for me

So we were drawn together through destiny
I know this love we share was meant to be
top






FAITH

Well I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you

But I've got to think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
Because I play them too

Oh but I
Need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
And when that love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I'm showing you the door

'Cause I gotta have faith...

Baby
I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please, don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe
You mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules

Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more

Yes I've gotta have faith...
top



Nun, ich denke es würde nett sein
wenn ich deinen Körper berühren könnte
Ich weiss, nicht jeder
hat einen Körper wie du

Aber ich muss zweimal nachdenken
bevor ich mein Herz vergebe
Und ich kenne all die Spiele die du spielst
weil ich sie selbst spiele

Ohh, aber ich
brauche etwas Zeit von diesen Gefühlen
Zeit um mein Herz wieder vom Boden aufzuheben
Und wenn diese Liebe niedergeht
ohne Hingebung
Nun, es braucht einen starken Mann, baby
aber ich zeige dir die Tür

Weil ich Vertrauen haben muss...

Baby,
ich weiss das du mich gebeten hattest zu bleiben
sagtest bitte bitte bitte geh nicht fort
Du sagtest das ich dir den Blues (gutes Gefühl) gebe
Vielleicht
Meinst du jedes Wort, das du sagst, ernst
Kann mir nicht helfen, an Gestern zu denken
und an einen anderen, der mich fertig machte

Bevor dieser Fluss zu einem Ozean wird
Bevor ich mein Herz zurück auf den Boden werfe
Ohh, Baby ich überdenke meinen dummen Vermutungen
Nun, ich brauche jemanden der mich hält
Aber ich warte auf noch irgendetwas

Bevor dieser Fluss
zu einem Ozean wird
Bevor ich mein Herz zurück auf den Boden werfe
Ohh, Baby ich überdenke
meine dummen Vermutungen
Nun, ich brauche jemanden der mich hält
Aber ich warte auf noch etwas mehr

Ja ich muss Vertrauen haben...

SOMEBODY TO LOVE (WITH QUEEN)

Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord, what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on
My own-
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord-somebody-somebody
Can anybody find me-somebody to love?

(He works hard)

Everyday-I try and I try and I try-
But everybody wants to put me down,
They say I`m goin` crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah-yeah yeah yeah

Oh, Lord
Somebody-somebody
Can anybody find me to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I`m ok,I`m alright
Ain`t gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I`m gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
