The Go-Go's Album

(Caffey/Valentine)

Been running so long
I've nearly lost all track of time
In every direction
I couldn't see the warning signs
I must be losin' it
'Cuz my mind plays tricks on me
It looked so easy
But you know looks sometimes deceive

Been running so fast
Right from the starting line
No more connections
I don't need any more advice
One hand's just reaching out
And one's just hangin' on
It seems my weaknesses
Just keep going strong

CHORUS
Head over heels
Where should I go
Can't stop myself
Outta control
Head over heels
No time to think
Looks like
The whole world's out of sync

Been running so hard
When what I need is to unwind
The voice of reason
Is one I left so far behind
I waited so long
So long to play this part
And just remembered
That I'd forgotten about my heart

CHORUS

(Caffey/Wiedlin)

You act so tough
But I know what you're doing
You think falling in love
Means falling to ruin
You build your walls so high
You act your life out all alone
You don't want to let me see
That your heart's not made out of stone

CHORUS
There may be some explanation
Why you feel the way you do
The world makes its rotations
But I just want to turn to you
Come on let me turn to you
Please let me turn to you
Why not let me turn to you
Just want to turn to you

It has a lot to do
With the fist time that we met
The wild dance in your eyes
Made up for what was never said
Gotta get my message
Stop spending all our precious time
Stop spending all our precious time
Because before you know it
We'll be down to our last dime

CHORUS

(Schock/Valentine)

I can't seem to stop the music
All those familiar sounds
My thoughts cut in on partners
Dancin' in their empty arms
Tangled up in the lives of others
That don't make any sense
Lost looks in the eyes of lovers
Their sins are innocent
Don't you stop to wonder
What's goin' wrong
When everything you've ever loved
Has come and gone

You thought and never told me
You thought but that won't hold me
So much was left unspoken
Held in a heart now broken

Situations all invented
A million in your head
How come you keep repeating
Each word you ever said

You thought and never questioned
You thought and kept me guessing
Too much was left unspoken
You thought a bit too late this time

(Valentine/Wiedlin)

Hey over there what's going on
Where I am they say you're wrong
When my sun is setting
Yours is breaking dawn
Say over there I want to talk
I wonder if we think the same thoughts
What do they teach you
How much have you bought
These days I feel too wise
I think we're sharing the same lies

CHORUS
Beneath the blue sky
We're all alone together
The calm hides stormy weather
And if we stand apart
We'll kiss goodbye
Beneath the blue sky

Way over there do you feel it too
In the end there's no privileged few
Everybody wants to live
Their lives through

CHORUS

(Wiedlin)

I remember that day
Wind pushing birds around
Trees crashing against the window
Of a ghost hotel
I kissed you and swore I'd never tell
But you said it wasn't right

I remember that day
Rain pouring from the sky
Dashing down the boulevard
Watching the city from a tower
My head felt light
I knew I'd lost my heart
But I just said I hate heights

CHORUS
Why'd you say you loved me
That day, that day
When you new you wouldn't have me on
This day, this day
Now you're fine, I'm not okay
And I can only stay away
I can only kneel and pray
Try and try to forget that day

I remember the time
I left to get some work done
Wasn't looking for anyone
When out of nowhere you found me
And though now I know you love some
other one
I can't forget the things you said

CHORUS

(Valentine/Harvey/Carter)

What you think of me is hard to tell
Double talkin' words that I can't spell
I don't want to read between your lies
Love comes easy when you close your eyes
You always run away with words
You're never seen once you've been heard

CHORUS
I'm the only fool
That's as big a fool as you
Got the only heart
And it beats as hard as yours
I'm the only one you run to
The one you come to
The only one you can get to
I'm the only one-only one for you
Only one for you

There's no need to play this silly game
No one wins and nothing's ever gained
You'd think by now that maybe you would see
But you're as blind to love as you are to me
I'm all for one, you're one for all
I got the only number you should call

CHORUS

(Wiedlin/Mael/Mael)

You're alone and I am too
You're my idea of a pretty view
You can move or so it seems
I bet we'd make a decent team

I'm not asking for all your time
A song or two would suit me fine
I'm not asking for you to say
that you'll be with me all the way

Shut your mind off for a while
Concentrate on the latest style
And everything's alright

CHORUS
Yes or no
I'll take it fast or slow
I'll make it easy for you to decide
Yes or no
You've got to let it go
Just take a stance
Either dance or tell me no

If you've got somewhere to be
If you've got someone besides me
Let me know don't put me on
If it's not right then I'll be gone

All those dancers can't be wrong
All those answers'd take too long
So tell me tell me now

CHORUS

(Wiedlin)

When it goes dark
Get me to bed
Forget the night
Wait for the light of day
Sleep till the sun
Comes into sight

CHORUS
I'm gonna capture the light
And keep it in my heart
Yeah grab on to the light
And hold it in my heart

Light and luck and love
Everybody wants
To touch the stars
Take a piece of happiness
Hold on tight
Keep trying hard

CHORUS
To capture the light
And keep it in your heart
Yeah grab on to the light
And hold it in your heart

Used to hunt for darkness
And it would follow me
Wherever I go
Now I'm looking up again
I got no more time
For feeling low

CHORUS
'Cuz I captured the light
I've got it in my heart
Grabbing on to the light
And hold it in my heart

(Schock/Wiedlin)

I can hardly stand the thought of leaving again
Can barely write the words I'm shakin' the pen
We'll be together but who knows when
We gotta hold on hold on

I'm burnin' burnin' inside
You're outta my sight I'm outta my mind
We never bargained or planned on this
We gotta hold on hold on

CHORUS
I'm with you
Hold me in your mind
Keep the fire strong
Without you
Not really apart
Our love goes on and on

When we're together we pretend
That we can take the time 'cuz it'll never end
It was so easy when love began
We gotta hold on hold on

Now I'm off another city in sight
And I remember each and every night
When I could touch you it felt so right
that's why I hold on hold on

CHORUS
I'm with you
Keep me on your mind
Relive each memory
I'm waiting
No matter how long
Until you're holding me

(Wiedlin/Valentine/Caffey)

He's crying inside
Can't tear the hurt out
Life's rushing by
Like and old movie backdrop
The radio's blasting
Song after song
About the big romance
That went all wrong

CHORUS
She says:
I just wanted to make you
I never meant to break you
He says:
Have some mercy on me
Do you have to be
Such a mercenary

She's scheming inside
Can't stop the wheels turning
Been through it before
There's no profit or learning
She's not really bad
Just a gold-plated heart
So scared to be alone
It rips her apart

CHORUS
