Self Control

Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walkin'
Down the street of my soul

You take my self, you take my self control
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control

Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control

I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes

A safe night, I'm living in the forest of my dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters

I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never knows

A safe night, I'm living in the forest of a dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control ...

Maybe I Love You

Maybe I love you, maybe I don't
Maybe I'll need you, and maybe, baby, I won't
I guess I don't take the time to let you know what's on my mind
Maybe I've been blind

Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm sane
Maybe I need to go away, start over again
But if I went away, I'd be afraid I should have stayed
Maybe I'm afraid that maybe I love you

And believe me when I tell you
It's because of all the things you say and do
That help me make it through
I need you
But when I try to say goodbye, I realise I won't know what to do
If I don't have you

Maybe I love you, baby I do
I guess I loved you the first time I saw you
And when I don't take the time to let you know what's on my mind
I know that I'm too damn blind, but baby I love you

Maybe I love you, maybe I don't
Maybe I'll need you, and maybe, baby, I won't
I guess I don't take the time to let you know what's on my mind
Maybe I've been blind, but maybe I love you
I love you

Ti Amo

Ti Amo
Ti amo, God how I love you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holdin' on
Even though you're gone

Ti amo, wasn't I good to you?
I did all that I could do
To make you want to be here with me
I thought you loved me

I can't believe you could just turn and leave
Y'did it so easily
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me

How could you end it this way
After the love that we made?
God how I wish you had stayed
Can't you see that I just want you back?

Ti amo, I never had a clue that I was losin' you
You never once let me know you were lettin' me go
Oh, I guess it was there in your eyes
Guess it was there in your sighs
Guess it was there in your lies
I was blind then, couldn't face the end

Ti amo, thought we'd go on and on
Thought we had something strong
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me

How could you end it this way
After the love that we made?
God how I wish you had stayed
Can't you see that I just want you back?

Ti amo, God how I love you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holdin' on
Even though you're gone

Guess it was there in your eyes
Guess it was there in your sighs
Guess it was there in your lies
I was blind then, couldn't face the end

Ti amo, thought we'd go on and on
Thought we had something strong
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me

How could you end it this way
After the love that we made?
God how I wish you had stayed
Can't you see that I just want you back?

Ti amo, wasn't I good to you?
Did all that I could do
To make you want to be here with me
I thought you loved me

I can't believe you could just turn and leave
Y'did it so easily
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me

Ti amo, God how I love you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holdin' on
Even though you're gone ...

Don't Cry For Me Argentina

It won't be easy, you'll think it's strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild life
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild life
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild life
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Have I said to much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me
To know that every word is true

The Lucky One

You can break away or you can stay
You choose your life, you're free to fly
Go on and fly
Go on and fly

She had it in her own time
To get away and try to find
Somewhere to go, to run
She saw the world through open eyes
And never let a soul inside
Don't come too close, so close
Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?

Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, you got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one

Her soul was strong, her heart was tough
And when she felt she had enough
She tore herself away
Love in the dark is all you see
Get what you want, not what you need
You look the other way
Never letting on to what it's all become

Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one

Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one, the lucky one
Oh, life is a dream, the lucky one
Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one
Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?

Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one

Gloria

Gloria, you're always on the run now
Running after somebody, you gotta get him somehow
I think you've got to slow down before you start to blow it
I think you're headed for a breakdown, so be careful not to show it

You really don't remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria

Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha, Gloria, how's it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line, or will you catch him on the rebound?
Will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slipping away, don't believe it's comin' back soon

And you really don't remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria

Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

(Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria)
(Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria)

How Am I supposed To Live Without You

I could hardly believe it when I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leaving, someone swept your heart away
From the look upon your face I see it's true
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone

Didn't come here for cryin', didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is comin' to an end
How can I blame you when I built my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends
And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'
I need you know, it's more than I can take

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone

And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'
Now that your dream has come true

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been loving you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
All that I've been livin' for is gone

Without you, after I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been ...

Lucky

Maybe I'm a fool, one day we'll know
Maybe I'm a fool, only time can show
But now these lonely nights are killin' me
I'm so far away from reality
The pain grows stronger
I can't hold on much longer
It hurts when I think of how I had your sweet love
And still I set you free

Lucky, I said I hope you try and understand
Lucky, guess it's not like we planned
Lucky, you know I really really love you so
But Lucky, I still have to go

I wish that you could see the tears on my face
Painful memories of a love I can't replace
I'm sailin' in the past, and I sinkin' fast
You can hear my S.O.S. cryin' out for tenderness
Though yesterday's dead and gone
Your magic still lingers on
It hurts when I think of how I had your sweet love
And how I set you free

Lucky, I said I hope you try and understand
Lucky, I guess it's not like we planned, oh no no
Oh Lucky, you know I really really love you so
But Lucky, I still have to go

Oh Lucky, I said I hope you try and understand
Lucky, I guess it's not like we planned
Oh Lucky, you know I really really love you so
But Lucky, I still have to go

Lucky, I said I hope you try and understand
Lucky, I guess it's not like ...

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow

Tonight you're mine completely
You gave your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure?
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I, can I believe the magic of your sigh?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken, baby,
When the night meets the morning sun?
I'd like to know that your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell, tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me?
Will you still love me?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Power Of Love

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes

I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

Припев 1:

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

- припев 1 -

Припев 2:

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear
Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

- припев 1, припев 2 -

The Best Was Yet To Come

Just a small town girl in the city lights
The best was yet to come
Then lonely days turned to endless nights
The best was yet to come

How were you to know
That you would be the lucky one
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best is yet to come

You can cry yourself to sleep at night
You can't change the things you've done
You had it there then it slipped away
Yeah you left the song unsung

Even through your tears
I never saw you come undone
What's so good about goodbye
When the best was yet to come

I find myself thinkin' about yesterday
When you were and livin' in a dream
In the moment that it takes
You find you made your first mistake
Like the setting sun...
You turn around it's gone

Just a small town girl who had it made
Or so the story goes
She had it there then it slipped
Oh - how was she to know

Even through her tears
I never saw her come undone
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best is yet to come
What's so good about goodbye
When the best was yet to come

Spanish Eddie

There was heat in the air
And cops everywhere you looked
So there wasn't a lot
And so the breaks that you got You know you took
And I remember wonderin'
Where you'd been
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio
The night Spanish Eddie fell from grace
There was amazement on his face
On the night that Eddie fell Sanity prevailed

It was June or July
When the heat from above beat down
It was famine or drought
When the brothers went out of syle uptown
And he was mixin' Vicks with lemon gin
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playin "Desolation Row" On the radio
The night Spanish Eddie made front page
His revolution came of age
He wrote "Surrender" on the wall
The night he took the fall

I heard someone say "He's tryin' to fly"
Like Eddie used to say We'll do and we die

I heard someone turned you For a spin
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio

Shadow Of Love

Fell it tonight
Rainin' down as cool as ice
The air that we breathe
Is all we share between us
Wearing the scars
Deep inside our desert hearts
Tell me where did it go
Why did love ever leave us
Now the memories burn in my eyes
As I remember the look of the broken hearted
Never thought I'd be one of their own

We're standin' in a shadow forever
Her shadow's in the way of our love
What should have been forgotten
Is always with us
The shadow of what was

Now I'm the one who loves you
But I know we can't hide we can't run
From the shadow she cast on the night
The shadow of love

I want to believe
Everything that I can't see
But the truth always lies
Somewhere in between us
I can't help what I feel in the night
Thoughts disturbing the sleep of our innocent lives
Will these dreams never leave us alone

I want to know I'll always be
All alone with you
I'm the only one
But long before
We ever were
You belong to her
And she still isn't gone

I Found Someone

Don't you know
So many things they come and go
Like your words that once rang true
(Just) like the love I thought I found in you
And I remember the thunder
Talkin' bout that fire in your eyes
But you walked away when I needed you most

Припев:

Now, maybe baby maybe baby
I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feeling since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Dry your eyes
I never could bear to see you cry
Someday your love will shine through
Show ya the feelings that ya never really knew
Baby don't you lose that thunder
Talkin' bout the fire in your eyes
You're looking at me, but ya still don't believe

- припев -

Too long on the border line
Wonderin' if your love was really mine
But you left me with open eyes
And when I realized

- припев -

Shattered Glass

I gave you everything I had

You took my heart and broke it bad

I'm not the kind you can take it along.
I've got nothing more for you

I want somebody who needs me
Too

I'm giving up
Boy
I'm chasing my joy
And you can make your own.
You're not the only one
'Cause my time will come!

You've been shattered glass with your heart of stone

But you won't get far on your own.
You keep runnin' hot
Then goin' cold
And everything you want just falls apart like shattered glass.

It really doesn't matter to me where you're going
And who you see

I know that I can make it this time.
It doesn't matter any more since you've gone
And walked out that door

I need a new start
I found a true heart

I'm gonna make it mine
Go out and have your fun
'Cause my time will come!

You've been shattered glass with your heart of stone
. . .
You've been shattered glass with your heart of stone
. . .
You've been shattered glass
You've been shattered glass!

You're not the only one
Go out and have your fun

'Cause my time will come!
You've been shattered glass with your heart of stone
. . .
You've been shattered glass with your heart of stone
. . .
You've been shattered glass with your heart of stone

Moonlight On Water

What's going on
Down on the planet
What's going on
Inside your pretty head
What's life without a Mercedes
And the need to feel adrenaline rush

Is it better than
Moonlight on water
Is it better than
Sex on the beach
Think about us riding wild horses
Think about us
it's not out of reach

I'm here for you
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
I'm here for you
When there's a lonely night who can you hold on to
I'm here for you
Want you in my arms uncomplicated
I am for you I am

Who's gonna be
The competition
Who's the next in line
For promotion baby
Everyday the real world is fading
Spinning out on the wheel of fortune but

Is it better than
Moonlight on water
Is it better than
Sex on the beach
Think about us riding wild horses
Think about us
it's not out of reach babe

I'm here for you
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
I'm here for you
When there's a lonely night who can you hold on to
I'm here for you
Want you in my arms uncomplicated
I am for you I am

You've been working so hard, don't you know it baby
You don't understand what I want from you
Instead of dreamin 'bout all that money
We got mich simpler things to do
Moonlight on water
Sex on the beach
Think about us riding wild horses
Think about us
It's not out of reach

I'm here for you
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
I'm here for you
When there's a lonely night who can you hold on to
I'm here for you
Want you in my arms uncomplicated
I am for you I am
But don't you worry 'bout the wrong things

Solitaire

I still remember how much I used to need you
Tried so hard to please you, but you didn't need me
You knew I loved you, knew I always would be there
You just did what you wanted, you didn't care
All the cards were held by you
There was nothin' I could do
All those nights I sat alone, starin' at the telephone
Wonderin' were you ever comin' home

Solitaire, it got so lonely
Solitaire, no one to hold me
Where were you when I played solitaire?

It took some time but I stopped thinkin' about you
Started livin' without you, now look who's back here
You've had a change of heart, well, mine just couldn't wait, no no
You found out you loved me just a little too late

Once the cards were held by you
Now there's nothin' you can do
All those nights you sit alone, starin' at the telephone
Wonderin' if I'm ever comin' home

Solitaire, see what it's like now
Solitaire, to cry all night now
Solitaire, see how it feels to bear

Solitaire, it gets so lonely
Solitaire, you wanna hold me
Don't wait up, 'cos babe, I won't be there
Solitaire, solitaire, solitaire

Solitaire, see what it's like now
Solitaire, to cry all night now
Solitaire, see how it feels to bear

Solitaire, it gets so lonely
Solitaire, you wanna hold me
Don't wait up, 'cos babe, I won't be there
Solitaire (solitaire, solitaire)

Maybe Tonight

Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
It's just a matter of time
Until you're running back in my arms again
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
I hear you knock on my door
And it will be just like before you were gone
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
I won't be thinking of you
And you will be wondering what to do all alone

One more night I won't miss you
One more day I'll be alright
A few more hours to watch the rain fall
I don't miss you at all

Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
It's just a matter of time
Until you're running back in my arms again

I can do what I want, don't need nobody to comfort me
I sleep okay at night, don't need your body right next to me

Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
I hear you knock on my door
And it will be just like before you were gone
Maybe tonight and then maybe tomorrow
I won't be thinking of you
And you will be wondering what to do all alone

I can do what I want, don't need nobody to comfort me
I sleep okay at night, don't need your body next to me
Maybe tonight and maybe tomorrow
It's just a matter of time
Until you're running back in my arms again
