[Female Speaking]: You're a hot mess
You act like you got nothing to lose
But I've already lost my temper

I put my loving on the line for you, lady
But my spirits were low
I would have committed a crime for you, baby
Yeah, it got out of control

I know my temper's been kinda crazy
I need somebody. What? I need someone
Your love is real but I just feel suffocated
I feel so lonely. What? I feel so numb

[Female Speaking]: I thought we had this conversation already
Do you really want to go through this all over again

The way I was acting was just fine but then lately
You sorta noticed a shift
Every day was Christmas time for you, lady
You got showered with gifts

But you could hear it in my voice
I was getting kinda aloof
And I don't really have a choice
I guess I gotta tell you the truth

I know my temper's been kinda crazy
I need somebody. What? I need someone
Your love is real but I just feel suffocated
I feel so lonely. What? I feel so numb

[Female Speaking]: I don't what you want from me
I mean, I'm not a bloody social worker

I know my temper's been kinda crazy
I need somebody. What? I need someone
Your love is real but I just feel suffocated
I feel so lonely. What? I feel so numb

What?
I need somebody, I need someone
I feel so lonely, I feel so numb

Don't stop, baby
Let the rhythm take your body
Don't stop, baby
Let the music take control

Don't stop, baby
Let the rhythm take your body
Don't stop, baby
Let the music take control

I look around
Recognize anybody
Did you see the girl from the grocery store
Did you make a sound
Did you catch her eye
Did you let her know that you want some more

I tell her, lady
Why do you always frown and act all jaded
Woohoo ah wooh
I'm not contagious
But I got the kind of loving that knocks you down

I tell her, lady
Why do you always frown and act all jaded
Woohoo ah wooh
I'm not contagious
But I got the kind of loving that knocks you down
Down, down, down, down

You're often found like you walked a mile
Just to be with that girl that you seen before
But she won't come down
And you're in denial
So you got the courage to show her what's in store

I tell her, lady
Why do you always frown and act all jaded
Woohoo ah wooh
I'm not contagious
But I got the kind of loving that knocks you down

I tell her, lady
Why do you always frown and act all jaded
Woohoo ah wooh
I'm not contagious
But I got the kind of loving that knocks you down
Down, down, down, down

Don't stop, baby
Let the rhythm take your body
Don't stop, baby
Let the music take control

Don't stop, baby
Let the rhythm take your body
Don't stop, baby
Let the music take control

You tell her, lady
Why do you always frown and act all jaded
Woohoo ah wooh
I'm not contagious
But I got the kind of loving that knocks you down
Down, down, down, down

I know, inside of me
Sooner or later, we goin' to be free
Camon girl, don't make a fuss
Lets have a conversation thats not just about us
We dont know which way to go
It doesn't really matter what we do
There's gonna be one good way to know
If all this is worth it we can work it night by night

She says I'm not romantic
I say she's too dramatic
I tell her while were at it we can work it night by night (x2)

Night by night (x3)

I know, inside of me,
If I wait a bit longer, she was meant to be
Camon girl, we can't be apart
A special kind of lovin reaches right to my heart
We don't know which way to go
It doesn't really matter what we do
There's gotta be one good way to know
If all this is worth it we can work it night by night

She says I'm not romantic
I say she's too dramatic
I tell her while were at it we can work it night by night (x2)

Night by night (x3)

Not romantic, too dramatic
...
We can work it night by night (x4)

She says I'm - not romantic
I say she's - too dramatic
I tell her while were at it we can work it night by night (x2)

There must be another way
When she's gone to a better place
And loneliness will hurt you if you can't get through the night
Then the moment starts to fade
And dawn is just an hour away
I feel she's watching over and it gets me through the night

It makes me wonder what you'd say
It's taking me back to the month of May
When I watched you do it (all night)
I'm thinking back to what we'd shared
In many ways I'm already there
And I watched you do it

Don't turn the lights on
Cause tonight I want to see you in the dark
Don't turn the lights on
Cause tonight I want to see you in the dark
Don't turn the lights on
Cause tonight I want to see you in the dark
Don't turn the lights on
Cause tonight I want to see you in the dark

Another walk to take
Another lonesome evening spent without you there
And only those who hurt you
Will say patience is a virtue
And it's been so long
And I can't think about it
No, I can't figure it out
'Cause just how real you're feeling
Every time that you're appealing
Leaves no room for doubt

It makes me wonder what you'd say
It's taking me back to the month of may
When i watched you do it (all night)
I'm thinking back to what we'd shared
In many ways I'm already there
And I watched you do it

Don't turn the lights on
Cause tonight I want to see you in the dark
Don't turn the lights on
Cause tonight I want to see you in the dark
Don't turn the lights on
Cause tonight I want to see you in the dark
Don't turn the lights on
Cause tonight I want to see you in the dark

Don't turn the lights on
Cause tonight I want to see you in the dark
Don't turn the lights on
Cause tonight I want to see you in the dark
Don't turn the lights on
Cause tonight I want to see you in the dark
Don't turn the lights on
Cause tonight I want to see you in the dark

I don't know what games you're trying to play
You want to look the other way
Look the other way
I'm talking about the here, the now
Keep my feet on solid ground

Well, I hate to break it to you
But you just don't realize
Switching conversation topics
And you never compromise

I wanna express something to ya
Something you oughta know
But you got the frontal logic
And refuse to let it go

You make it rough, so rough
For me to get through to ya
So rough, to get my point across
I've had enough, enough
To get through to ya
So rough, and getting no response

You make it rough

I'm feeling slightly ill at ease
About your sensibilities, sensibilities
And I've been getting nervous ticks
Wondering of one where to stick

You don't respond well to the pressure
That's something I've been warned about
And I think of you as something lesser
When we can't sit and talk it out

Well, I hate to break it to you
But you just don't realize
Switching conversation topics
And you never compromise

I wanna express something to ya
Something you oughta know
But you got the frontal logic
And refuse to let it go

You make it rough, so rough
For me to get through to ya
So rough, to get my point across
I've had enough, enough
To get through to ya
So rough, and getting no response

The situation worsens
The words turn into curses
For certain you got me all tied up like a circus

I can't make an assertion
Without you thinking it's hurtin'
I guess it's really time to pull the curtains
You make it rough
You make it rough

So rough, for me to get through to ya
So rough, to get my point across
Enough, of trying to get through to ya
So rough, and getting no response

So rough, for me to get through to ya
So rough, to get my point across
I've had enough, enough
Of trying to get through to ya
So rough, and getting no response

Do ya do ya do ya do ya

. . .


When the night falls, oh yeah
You can tell by the way that you feel
Make the right calls, oh yeah
And just hope that she remembers you still

I'm searching for a good time
In a city where there's nobody else around
And I know it's been a little awhile
But your number is the only one I found

Now we've had our share of ups and downs
In the years I came through your town
But let's put it all to rest
And let's just have a night of one on one
When the conversations have begun
Just put your head on my chest

There's something about you, girl
And it's rather strange
I want come back to you, girl
And make another flame

When the night falls, oh yeah
You can tell by the way that you feel
Make the right calls, oh yeah
And just hope that she remembers you still

Well you probably think I'm a fast-talking romantic
With a high-fallutin' ways
But it's all about the impression you made
On the first time I met you
That stayed with me for days
And now I want that feeling back
But I'm not sure where to get it
But you have the answer to that

And you say it's nothing but fun and games
But over the phone it's not the same
So let's try to cross paths

There's something about you, girl
And it's rather strange
I want come back to you, girl
And make another flame

When the night falls, oh yeah
You can tell by the way that you feel
Make the right calls, oh yeah
And just hope that she remembers you still

Ooh hooh ooh hooh
Ooh hooh ooh hooh, yeah

When the night falls, oh yeah
You can tell by the way that you feel
Make the right calls, oh yeah
And just hope that she remembers you still

. . .


I'll say it one more time
Let you know what's on my mind
Because it's plain to see
That I love you with every beat of my heart

But it seems to me
That you lost your sensibility
Suddenly we're back to where we were at the start

I wonder what made you cynical
When you decided it was time to go

Don't walk away
Leave me to stay
If you don't turn away
We can be lovers

I can never turn my back on something so deep
Something that was like a part of me
Because obviously I owe you every beat of my heart

Would it matter to me
You kept back when we disagree
And it dawned on me that emotions got us far apart

I wonder what made you cynical
When you decided it was time to go

Don't walk away
Leave me to stay
If you don't turn away
We can be lovers

I wonder what made you cynical
When you decided it was time to go

Don't walk away
Leave me to stay
If you don't turn away
We can be lovers

Don't walk away
Leave me to stay
If you don't turn away
We can be lovers

J'ai claqué la porte

[No lyrics]

The sun's begin now to blind
It's the beginning of another day
You are so one of a kind
But he disappeared in disarray

You take a look at the time
And see how much longer you can wait
And you finally step outside
But everything is so blue and gray

It sucks when it bombs
On your way, just might be time to move on
When he's gone, believe me he's gone
But it won't last forever
Somebody will promise to be

The right type
A knight in shining armor
Be the right type
The right type
A knight in shining armor
Be the right type

The right type
A knight in shining armor
Be the right type
Comes along more delight
And he's exactly what he promised to be

You can't believe it
He told you he was unlike the other guys
But little by little, he changed
And he proved to be otherwise

Leave alone, it's alright, girl
You always over-analyze
You're just going through a phase
It takes a moment to recognize

It sucks when it bombs
On your way, just might be time to move on
When he's gone, believe me he's gone
But it won't last forever
Somebody will promise to be

The right type
A knight in shining armor
Be the right type
The right type
A knight in shining armor
Be the right type

The right type
A knight in shining armor
Be the right type
Comes along more delight
And he's exactly what he promised to be

The sun's begin now to blind
It's the beginning of another day

. . .


I know you've had enough
But now it's time to listen up
You say you got it rough, oooh
But you're keeping your anger bottled up

Our love is so weak
We never had the decency to speak
It's been over a week
And you still won't tell me
What you want from me

Ai-oh, way-oh
Ai-oh, way-oh

I'm not asking for much
Just a little bit of clarity with us
Because if we can't be grown-ups
Then we won't grow up

I know you've had enough
But now it's time to listen up
You say you got it rough, oooh
But you're keeping your anger bottled up

And something ain't right
When you're up in the middle of the night
Two wrongs won't fix a fight
But if we get to talking it just might

Ai-oh, way-oh
Ai-oh, way-oh

I'm not asking for much
Just a little bit of clarity with us
Because if we can't be grown-ups
Then we won't grow up

Ooh, I guess I'm feeling alone again
Ooh, I guess I'm feeling alone again
Ooh, I guess I'm feeling alone again

Ai-oh, way-oh
Ai-oh, way-oh

I'm not asking for much
Just a little bit of clarity with us
Because if we can't be grown-ups
Then we won't grow up
