If you want love, come and get it
Well that's alright with me
And if you think that's tough, forget it
'Cos there's no guarantee (No guarantee)

Well your dreams won't last forever
And that's how it should be
I'm only living for your pleasure
Your real life fantasy (Real life fantasy)

True Confessions
True confessions can reveal
True confessions, True confessions
False impressions

True confessions
True confessions you come back
You come back
True Confessions, True Confessions
These obsessions
These obsessions of your mind
Of your mind

If I lead you to the water
Oh, will you take a drink?
Emotions that you torture
Make you stop and think (Make you stop and think)

Remember that August night
The last time I saw your face
I heard you cry
Terrified
When they took you to another place

But now I can see you smile
There's a wall that divides us
Never forgive
The right to live
And all the love that they deny us

Ready or not I'm coming
And I'm gonna find you baby
So you better start running
Ready or not I'm coming
And I'm gonna get to you
No matter what they do
Ready or not I'm coming
Creeping up behind you baby
Let me tell you something
Ready or not I'm coming
Bringing all my love to you
But am I getting through?

Am I getting through?

I send all my love to you
One chance to make it through
Shadows fall
Can't hear me call
But my heart goes out to you

Ready or not I'm coming
And I'm gonna find you baby
So you better start running
Ready or not I'm coming
And I'm gonna get to you
No matter what they do
Ready or not I'm coming
Creeping up behind you baby
Let me tell you something
Ready or not I'm coming
Bringing all my love to you
But am I getting through?

I'll never give up the fight
Never be satisfied
Till we stand
Hand in hand
Touching freedom on the other side

But it's getting harder now
To live and take orders
Risking my life
Tonight's the night
Heading over the border

Ready or not I'm coming
And I'm gonna find you baby
So you better start running
Ready or not I'm coming
And I'm gonna get to you
No matter what they do
Ready or not I'm coming
Creeping up behind you baby
Let me tell you something
Ready or not I'm coming
Bringing all my love to you
But am I getting through?

When the day is over
And the work is done
Well it's a different story
As the darkness comes around
I tried to let you know
You're going the wrong way

And the streets you thought
Would all be paved with gold
But when the wind cuts through
You'd even try to sell your soul
Everywhere you go
It's the long way

Now you're no longer
Just the boy next door
When they were falling in love
With that clean cut smile
Change of style
Just for a little while

Whatcha doing, hey whatcha doing
Walking through danger
Can't see the wrong or the right
Whatcha doing, tell me whatcha doing
Can't be a stranger
Must be a trick of the night

Well its a laugh a minute
And you can't decide
Between the burning question
And the fortune in his eyes
You never let it show
Or take it the wrong way

Sometimes you wonder
What you came here for
Oh, they could tear you apart
With those bare faced lies
Can't disguise
All the hurt you're feeling inside

Whatcha doing, hey whatcha doing
Walking through danger
Can't see the wrong or the right
Whatcha doing, tell me whatcha doing
Can't be a stranger
Must be a trick of the night

Whatcha doing, hey whatcha doing
Walking through danger
Can't see the wrong or the right
Whatcha doing, tell me whatcha doing
Can't be a stranger
Must be a trick of the night

Of the night, of the night
Must be a trick of the night

When the day is over
And the work is done
Well it's a different story
As the darkness comes around

And the streets you thought
Would all be paved with gold
But when the wind cuts through
You'd even try to sell your soul

. . .


Scarlett lips, a silk embrace
But there's no laughter in her face
A crowded room is a lonely place full of lies

A wicked smile a shifting glance
The passion light you feel at last
Her pleasure somehow eased the pain
Too late to chance it all again

Before we kiss the world goodbye
It's only a breath away
One more dance before you die
So tender as the music plays

There's no emotion
Only passion in your crime
Killing the love that drives you out of your mind
When you dance with a stranger

A spinning room a cool caress
A try to hide my loneliness
Cheek to cheek we let the evening drift by

The hollow mask has disappeared
We drown our love through salty tears
We speed at night like a racing car
And now I see you as you really are

Before we kiss the world goodbye
It's only a breath away
One more dance before you die
So tender as the music plays

There's no emotion
Only passion in your crime
Love is the last thing on your mind
When you dance with a stranger

Dance...
Dance with a stranger
Dance...

Before we kiss the world goodbye
It's only a breath away
One more dance before you die
So tender as the music plays

There's no emotion
Only passion in your crime
Love is the last thing on your mind
When you dance with a stranger

Watching and waiting
For the moment to arrive
Dance with a stranger
Love is the last thing on your mind
When you dance with a stranger

There's no emotion
Only passion in your crime
Love is the last thing on your mind
When you dance with a stranger

. . .


Love is easy
No complications
In a perfect world

Ooh, la la la la la la ah
Ooh, la la la la la la ah
Ooh, la la la la la la ah

His day is over
It's just another night
The same old faces
Always pass him by
His heart is willing
But the world's so cold
Oh how he longs for
Someone real to hold

She takes the bus home
To her usual place
All kinds of people
But they leave no trace
She knows by now
That dreams are not enough
All she wanted
Was someone real to love

And just as surely as the sun will rise
Each one knows that there'll be no surprise
Yet still each day they live in hope
And try for more
There must be someone
Who's worth dying for

Hmmm
All we need is understanding
Love is easy
When boy meets girl
Maybe tomorrow we'll try again
No complications
In a perfect world

Ooh, la la la la la la ah

Hmmm
All we need is understanding
Love is easy
When boy meets girl
Maybe tomorrow we'll try again
No complications
In a perfect world

In a perfect world

Ooh, la la la la la la ah

She'll sit and wonder
Where it's all gonna end
It's getting harder
For the young to pretend
Their dreams may never see
The light of day
It's not a perfect world
That they have made
Yet still each day they live in hope
And try for more
It's not a perfect world
Their dreams may never see
The light of day
It's not a perfect world
That they have made
It's not a perfect world

Ooh, la la la la la la ah
Ooh, la la la la la la ah

Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire

Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man mad
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no one else had
Wah!

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire

Venus

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire

Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
Wah!

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire

Venus was her name

Yeah baby she's got it
Yeah baby she's got it
Yeah baby she's got it
Yeah baby she's got it

Non disturbaded
Do not
Disturb

We took the late flight
Close to heaven in the cold half light
All the pleasures of that very first night
Crystal clear in my mind
No complications
Just another reservation
In a beach hotel
We found a room with a view
Lock the door and change the sign

Do not disturb
Do Do Do not disturb
Just you and me together
Do not disturb
Do Do Do not disturb
This night could last forever
Take your time
When you read the sign
It's in black and white
In plain and simple terms
Do not disturb
Oh no

Where is the laughter
I know there must have been
A change of heart
Oh I don't wanna stay here with you
Now the sun won't shine
This total isolation
Seems to cloud our celebration
While I'm waiting all alone in my room
Trying to read between the lines

Do not disturb
Do Do Do not disturb
Now we're not together
Do not disturb
Do Do Do not disturb
This night could last forever
Do not disturb
Do Do Do not disturb
Now we're not together
Do not disturb
Do Do Do not disturb
This night could last forever
Take your time
When you read the sign
It's in black and white
In plain and simple terms
Do not disturb
Oh no

Do not...
Oh no
Non disturbaded
Do not disturb
Do not disturb
Do not disturb
Do Do Do not disturb

When she walks down Main street
No-one ever passes her by
The cars slow down men turn around
While the other girls are left wondering why

Now give me one good reason
Why they just don't leave her alone
She won't stop or let you take a photograph
But they say 'She's in a class of her own'

I said 'Hey kid, come on down'
They might turn your head around
With good loving more or less
Who' you trying to impress
She don't need your good advice
It's just straight ahead, she don't think twice
We all need love I guess
She ain't a cut above the rest
She ain't a cut above the others
No no no no
She ain't a cut above the others
A cut above the rest
She ain't a cut above the others
No no no no
She ain't a cut above the others

Well, it's a false impression
No one takes the time out to try
She might look the part
But in her heart of hearts
Well she's really not so different inside

I said 'Hey kid, come on down'
They might turn your head around
With good loving more or less
Who' you trying to impress
She don't need your good advice
It's just straight ahead, she don't think twice
We all need love I guess
She ain't a cut above the rest
She ain't a cut above the others
No no no no
She ain't a cut above the others
A cut above the rest
She ain't a cut above the others
No no no no
She ain't a cut above the others

I said 'Hey kid, come on down'
They might turn your head around
With good loving more or less
Who' you trying to impress
She don't need your good advice
It's just straight ahead, she don't think twice
We all need love I guess
She ain't a cut above the rest
She ain't a cut above the others
No no no no
She ain't a cut above the others
A cut above the rest
She ain't a cut above the others
No no no no
She ain't a cut above the others

Lock me up in a room somewhere
Get me out of the open air
No perception of space or time
And no peace of mind

Shut me out of the wind and rain
Shelter me from the hurt and pain
No temptation to lead me on
Now that you're gone

Won't you come to the rescue
Take me to the promised land
You've got the power to show me
Love is at hand
With you right here beside me
Dancing barefoot in the sand
Close your eyes and take me
To the promised land

Bolt the windows and close the door
Now there's nothing worth living for
New direction is hard to find
So leave me behind

Dim the lights and hang up the phone
All I want is to be alone
No connection with anyone
I just can't go on

Won't you come to the rescue
Take me to the promised land
You've got the power to show me
Love is at hand
With you right here beside me
Dancing barefoot in the sand
Close your eyes and take me
To the promised land

Take me to the promised land
Take me to the promised land
(Take me)
To the promised land
To the promised land
Take me

Won't you come to the rescue
Take me to the promised land
You've got the power to show me
Love is at hand
With you right here beside me
Dancing barefoot in the sand
Close your eyes and take me
To the promised land

Won't you come
To the promised land
Won't you come
(To the rescue)
To the promised land
(Come to the rescue)

Hey boy
Its a matter of fact
I got what you want so don't go back
So come and get it let's have some fun
I wanna show you you're the only one

He said 'You're too keen'
I said 'I know what you mean'
Deep down down inside
Its a matter of fact

Baby I'm waiting
Anticipating
This is more than physical
I can't disguise it
I'm so excited
Ooh ooh ooh yeah

Hey boy
I've been watching you
Come on and show me what you can do
You've got what I want stop wasting time
You're sending shivers up and down my spine

He said 'Whatcha doing to me?'
I said 'You wait and see'
Deep down down inside
Its a matter of fact

Baby I'm waiting
Anticipating
This is more than physical
I can't disguise it
I'm so excited
Ooh ooh ooh yeah

Baby I'm waiting
Anticipating
This is more than physical
I can't disguise it
I'm so excited

I said 'You wait and see'
Deep down down inside
Its a matter of fact

Baby I'm waiting
Anticipating
This is more than physical
I can't disguise it
I'm so excited
Ooh ooh ooh yeah

Hooked on love

I saw a twelve year old, he had a plastic bag
Another young man sucking on butane gas
I saw them reaching for a hand to hold
The next minute they were both stone cold

Don't abuse your body
Better use your brain
This generation's going insane
Better hooked on love
(Hooked on love)
That's a better drug
(Hooked on love)

Don't abuse your body
Better use your brain
This generation's going insane
Better hooked on love
(Hooked on love)
That's a better drug
(Hooked on love)

I found a young girl lying in a pool of blood
She had the mark of needles and a lack of love
I saw her friends who told her 'She's a fool to try'
But never dream she was bound to die

Don't abuse your body
Better use your brain
This generation's going insane
Better hooked on love
(Hooked on love)
That's a better drug
(Hooked on love)

And when the street sharp man next comes around
You better keep your head, you better stand your ground
No matter what the pressure, never make a deal
He might touch but he never can feel

Don't abuse your body
Better use your brain
This generation's going insane
Better hooked on love
(Hooked on love)
That's a better drug
(Hooked on love)

And then I saw you cruising' through the wild west end
Can't change the habits of a lifetime debt
Now you're moving closer to the killing floor
You're half dead but you need to score

So don't get your kicks
For too high a price
The next time won't be so nice
Better hooked on love
(Hooked on love)
That's a better drug
(Hooked on love)

If you're feeling bored without a thing to do
You wanna be somebody then it's up to you
I ain't trying to tell you how to live your life
You might run but you never can hide

Don't abuse your body
Better use your brain
This generation's going insane
Better hooked on love
(Hooked on love)
That's a better drug
(Hooked on love)

So don't get your kicks
For too high a price
The next time won't be so nice
Better hooked on love
(Hooked on love)
That's a better drug
(Hooked on love)
