Outta her head
And outta her dreams
There he was just the way she'd seen him
Lookin' at her a thousand times before

She said I can't believe
It's been five long years
'Cause tonight they just seen to disappear
You still look the same
You haven't changed at all

She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
'Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
'Cause we're hot as a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

He said I still remember
Her sweet perfume
When it filled his head
And it rocked the room
They walked the wire of passion
So alive

It's hard to hold on
In these times
Did one of us change
Was it yours or mine
You just can't imagine
How lonely I've been

Oh, take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
'Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
'Cause we're hot as a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

We chase our hearts like open fires
Give ourselves to old desires
Surrender sweet
And here we go again

She said take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
'Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
'Cause we're hot as a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

Oh, take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
'Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

Throw the car in gear
Put the zoom on the lens
'Cause we're wild, wild horses running again

Oh, take me away with you
We can ride on the wind
'Cause I feel a gypsy honeymoon
Comin' around again

(Collin Ellingson/Kim Carnes)

Comin' around again

You can't abuse a love affair
Take for granted what you think is there
Let the silence fill the lonely air around us

The truth falls like pieces of dreams
Invisible walls that I can't see
How can it happen Why can't we just be

What is it makes us act so crazy
Riskin' it all
Over passion and pain
Stripped to the soul
We hold on for safety
And we give it all we know how
So don't cry now

The risk is all in the take
We see it all when it's too late
And we dance so fast
To keep the flame inside

What is it makes us act so crazy
Riskin' it all
Over passion and pain
Stripped to the soul
We hold on for safety
And we give it all we know how
So don't cry now

Do you remember
When nothing else mattered
But the fire in your eyes
How do we find ourselves
Caught in this battle
Of what to do with our lives

What is it makes us act so crazy
Riskin' it all
Over passion and pain
Stripped to the soul
We hold on for safety
And we give it all we know how
We give it all we know how
We give it all we know how
So don't cry now

(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson/Wendy Waldman)

If I told you tonight that I loved you
Would you walk my way would you say
Lies that I wanted to hear
If I told you tonight that I need you
Would you break my heart would you start
Wearing me down again

I feel so lonely when I'm with I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you
I can't live without you
I still hold on

If I told you tonight I was leaving
Would you call my name take the blame
Turn it all around again
'Cause you know I love you
And worth the heartbreak we make
But I still hold on I still hold on

I feel so lonely when I'm with I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you
I can't live without you
I still hold on

Her hair is Harlow gold, her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold, she's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll turn the music on you, you won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow, she got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home, it whets her appetite
She'll lay you on the throne, she got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you, roll you like you were dice
Until you come up blue, she's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you, when she snows you
Hope you'll feed with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll tease you, she'll unease you
Just to please you, she's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you when she snows you
She knows you, she's got Bette Davis Eyes

(Kim Carnes)

Did she tell you it's over
Did she throw you out in the night
And here you come to your other lover
Thinkin' that a restless heart
Will get you high again

But I've change the number
Of my telephone
You won't find me when you come callin'

And I'll say
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be

Did you think I'd be waiting for you
Did you think I'd be holding my breath
To hear the songs of your footsteps
Sayin' its all over with her
And now you need me
Now you need me

But I've change the number
Of my telephone
You won't find me when you come callin'

And I'll say
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be

So don't try to call me anymore with your lies
Don't be a fool and make the
Mistake of thinking I still love you
Oh anyone can tell I'm find
And I don't need you

But I've change the number
Of my telephone
You won't find me when you come callin'

And I'll say
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be
Must be a case of mistaken identity
I'm not the girl you want me to be

Let it be soon don't hesitate
Make it now don't wait
Open your heart and let my love come in
I want the moment to start
When I can fill your heart with

More love and more joy
Than age or time could ever destroy
Oh honey now my love will be so sound
It'll take a hundred life times
To live it down
Wear it down
Tear it down

This is no fiction this is no act
This is real it's a fact
I'll always belong only to you
Each day I'll be living to
Make sure I'm giving you

More love and more joy
Than age or time could ever destroy
Oh honey now my love will be so sound
It'll take a hundred life times
To live it down
Wear it down
Tear it down

As we grow older no need to fear
When you need me
I'll be beside you every step of the way
A heart that's truthful
And keeping you youthful with

More love and more joy
Than age or time could ever destroy
Oh honey now my love will be so sound
It'll take a hundred life times
To live it down
Wear it down
Tear it down

She works real hard in an all night café
She says she loves her job
Wouldn't have it any other way

And he walks in wearin' cheap cologne
She says, "I'll take off early
If you'll take me home"

And he says
"Come on, honey, say you will
Jump on into my Coupe De Ville
There's a Mexico sunset standing still
Fall in love to the thrill of the grill"

His hair was slick and he was slicker
His touch was radioactive
And it made her shiver
And when he emptied his pockets
They were filled with champagne
He held out his hand
As he called out her name

And he said,
"Come on honey say you will
Jump on into my Coupe De Ville
There's a Mexico sunset standing still
Fall in love to the thrill of the grill
Let's fall in love to the thrill of the grill"

Sideways, oh my God, I'm sideways
Half-crazed, I said I'm dizzy
Dazed and waylayed

The boss said, "Phyllis have you gone mad
Hon, you're the best short order that I ever had
Don't throw it all away on a one night fling
Ah, don't be a fool for a foolish thing"

So she tore off her apron
Threw down the pan
She said, "Buzz it boss
You just don't understand
I've waited all my life
To feel the thrill
To be carried away
On the thrill of the grill"

So come on honey yes I will
I'll jump on into your Coupe De Ville
There's a Mexico sunset standing still
Fall in love to the thrill of the grill

Come on honey yes I will
I'll jump on into your Coupe De Ville
There's a Mexico sunset standing still
Fall in love to the thrill of the grill
Let's fall in love to the thrill of the grill

When it hurts too bad
You got to let go
Can't let him know that
He's really gotten to ya

And it hurts so bad
When you're all alone
Those old memories
Keep goin' through ya

And you wanna act nonchalant
But you can't
'Cause he keeps on haunting you

And when it hurts so bad
Gotta try and pretend
He's just a casual friend
Who never meant a thing to ya

Well you can fool your friends
And you can laugh a lot
It's all a cover up
Of what he really means to ya

And you try and act nonchalant
But you can't
'Cause he keeps on haunting you
Yes, and it hurts so bad

Oh, how can it hurt this bad
When it was never planned
But you stole my heart
And here I am
I'm possessed by you
I'm obsessed with you
What I tryin' to say
Is I love you

Now how can I act nonchalant
When all I want is
To spend the night with you

Oh, when it hurts this bad
You got to let go
Can't let him know that
He's really gotten to ya

And it hurts so bad
When you're all alone
Those old memories
Keep goin' through ya

And it hurts so bad
Oh, I know it hurts so bad
Whoa, it hurts so bad
It hurts so bad
I know it hurts so bad
It hurts so bad

Just look at you sitting there
Never looked better than tonight
And it'd be so easy to tell you I'd stay
Like I've done so many times

I was so sure this would be the night
You'd close the door and wanna stay with me
And it'd be so easy to tell you I'd stay
Like I've done so many times

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you've really change him
He'll leave you again
Don't you fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll break you every time
Put out the light and just hold on
Before we say goodbye

Now it's morning and the phone rings
And you say you've gotta get your things together
You just gotta leave before you change your mind
And if you knew what I was thinking girl
I'd turn around if you'd just ask me one more time

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you've really change him
He'll leave you again
Don't you fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll break you every time
Put out the light and just hold on
Before we say goodbye
Before we say goodbye

We learn to hold it in
Hide our hearts
Don't let it show
So scared
We forget to say
All the words when
We need them most

Rough edges take time
Understanding
Never losing our
Rough edges take time
Holding onto
And I still want you

Sometimes people change
And sometimes
I don't know you
It runs by
We stumble through
Round and round
'Cause we know our

Rough edges take time
Understanding
Never losing our
Rough edges take time
Holding onto
And I still want you

Rough edges just take time
Understanding
Never losing our
Rough edges take time
Holding on
And I still want you
And I still want you

We learn to hold it in
Hide our hearts
Don't let it show

(Kim Carnes/Dave Krampf/Duane Hitchings)

It's the song that just keeps playing on the radio
And you know I haven't seen you for a while
I lie awake at night
And I wonder how you are
And I wish that I could be you again

Is it luck or is it fate
That brings us back
Or is it just a common point of view
Time has put a spell on you
You never seem to change
And I wish that I could see you again

But I'll be here where the heart
When the dreams that we've been after
All come true
You will find me here where the heart is
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you

It's the light that keeps shining day after day
When other loves have come and gone
I'll be here with open arms to take you in
And I wish that I could see you again

And in between
And when I need to see you again
All I have to do
Is close my eyes
Oh the picture's coming in my friend
I'll hold you again
But who knows when

But I'll be here where the heart
When the dreams that we've been after
All come true
You will find me here where the heart is
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you

Sometimes I really think
I'm going crazy in the night
When I hide down in the covers
And I won't turn out the light

I think nothing's gonna get me
But then again it might
What can I do to keep from going
Crazy in the night

I need a drink of water
But I swallow hard instead
'Cause it's hard to move a muscle
When you're frozen in your bed

If I could make it to the phone
Before I die of fright
What can I do to keep from going
Crazy in the night

Sometimes she really thinks
She's going crazy in the night
When she hides down in the covers
And she won't turn on the light
She says nothing's gonna get to her
But then again it might
What can she do to keep from going
Crazy in the night

There's a monster on my ceiling
There's a monster on the wall
There are thousands in the closet
Now they're coming down the hall

I'm so hidden they can't find me
But then again they might
What can I do to keep from going
Crazy in the night

Sometimes she really thinks
She's going crazy in the night
When she hides down in the covers
And she won't turn out the light
She says nothing's gonna get to her
But then again it might
What can she do to keep from going
Crazy in the night

And if I disappeared
Do you think they'd ever look
Would I be headlines in the paper
Or the cover of the book

Got to pull myself together
I don't want to die of fright
What can I do to keep from going
Crazy in the night

Sometimes she really thinks
She's going crazy in the night
When she hides down in the covers
And she won't turn on the light
She says nothing's gonna get to her
But then again it might
What can she do to keep from going
Crazy in the night

Doo, doo, doo, doo...
Doo, doo, doo, doo...
Crazy in the night

[No lyrics]

I'd like to live out all my dreams
And if I could, yes if I could
The nicest one would be with you
And you'd be here with me
Don't you ever get lonely?

Lord, I'm no good when you're away
But what do you expect, from a girl
Who loves you like I love you
Won't you ever just get tired
And come on home to me?
Won't you ever get lonely?

You're a part of me
That I can't live without
You're a part of me
That dreams are all about
But you can't hold on to
Something that you've never had before
Love waits for the wind
To bring you back again
And take me away, take me away

Friends say it's great now you're a star
But what do they expect, from a girl
Who loves you just the way you are

Oh, and late at night
How I wish things had never changed
And you were here with me
Don't you ever get lonely?

You're a part of me
That I can't live without
You're a part of me
That dreams are all about
But you can't hold on to
Something that you've never had before
Love waits for the wind
To bring you back again
And take me away, take me away
And take me away, take me away
And take me away, take me away
And take me away, take me away
And take me away
