Tina Arena Album

Your arms are warm but they make me feel
As if they're made of cold, cold steel
A simple kiss like a turnin' key
A little click and the lock's on me
Can't move my arms, can't lift my hands
I won't admit to where I am
But I know baby, I'm in chains
I'm in chains

I pretend I can always leave
Free to go whenever I please
But then the sound of my desperate calls
Echo off these dungeon walls
I've crossed the line from mad to sane
A thousand times and back again
I love you baby, I'm in chains
I'm in chains
I'm in chains
I'm in chains

Should have known passing through the gate
That once inside I could not escape
I never thought this could happen to me
Never thought this is where I'd be
But baby, baby, baby, look at me
Baby, baby, look at me, I'm in chains
I'm in chains
I never thought this is where I'd be

Two smiling faces
That's how it used to be
What once was forever
Now a faded memory
The perfect illusion
For a while I guess it was
Without explanation the bloom fell off the rose
Heaven help my heart
'Cause it's a lot like me
Wondering when this all will end and I find the love I need
I know it's out there somewhere
Somehow I still believe
I'm asking please
Heaven help my heart

This world can get crazy
These are troubled times
I'd walk through fire if love is what I'd find
It's out of my hands so I put my faith in you
I say a little prayer and hope that it comes true
Heaven help my heart
'Cause it's a lot like me
Wondering when this all will end and I find the love I need
I know it's out there somewhere
Somehow I still believe
I'm asking please

I sang your praises daily
And we let ourselves get swept away
It's true baby
We held heaven in our hands for days
You wait a long time
For something wild to take you somewhere
And all I needed was to fly
It's a long way from paradise to ordinary
Picture us just smiling there, we didn't have a care

I remember, how it all came true
It was oh so tender
And I was lost with you
By the sweet sorrento moon

But the stars don't burn that brightly
Every season surely slips away
But you baby
You're the reason why I chose to stay
You wait a long time to find your dream and hold on to it
And all I needed was to fly
It's a long day from innocence to understanding
A picture of a child at play, is how I feel today

And I remember, how it all came true
It was oh so tender, and I was lost with you

Wouldn't you know it I've lost my courage
Isn't that funny, me lost for words
Not that it really matters, 'cause I know you know
And you would have told me yourself if you could

Remember the first time, we met each other
You were in your world and I was in mine
Breaking down the barriers, we broke all the rules
But wasn't it good, wasn't it fine
While I took for granted, you took your time
Longing for love oh how we tried
It's over now that's understood, but wasn't it good

So long together, two would be lovers
Caring for flowers that just wouldn't grow
And in all of our tomorrows, we'll have yesterday
And wasn't it good, wasn't it fine
While I took for granted, you took your time
Longing for love, oh how we tried
It's over now that's understood

Once again I sit and wonder
Was something I said so wrong
You're the one I really need now
Give me the strength to carry on
There again I'm falling, can you here me calling
I need you with me now

I've just got to get a message to you
It's only you I want to run to
I'll do anything I can do and I won't stop 'til I get through

I see myself pretending, afraid that I'll fall behind
When I close my eyes I feel you
Your tender touch keeps me alive (how do I survive)
When I can't, you say I can
No one else could understand the thoughts I keep inside

I've just got to get a message to you
It's only you I want to run to
I'll do anything I can do and I won't stop 'til I get through

I feel so alone, the feeling so strong
Your love sets me free, it's where I wanna be
I've just got to get a message to you
It's only you I want to run to

There you go
Flashing fever from your eyes
Hey babe
Come over here and shut them tight
I'm not denying
We're flying above it all
Hold my hand
Don't let me fall
You've such amazing grace
I've never felt this way
Oh, show me heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless
Oh, show me heaven please

Here I go
I'm shaking just like the breeze
Hey babe
I need your head to steady me
I'm not denying
I'm frightened a much as you
Though I'm barely touching you
I've shivers down my spine, and it feels divine
Oh, show me heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless
Oh, show me heaven please

Do you know what it's like to dream a dream
Baby hold me tight and let this be
Oh, show me heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless

Imagine you, imagine me
We could be happy, we could be free
If we could only try
No more hunger, no more greed
Do you ever wonder, can you believe?
This world's for us to share
'Cause I hope and I pray
Open our hearts and show us the way

I know love is the answer
And fear serves only to bind
Keep us all together
We all belong in heaven above

No more deception, no more war
And peace we would treasure for evermore
No need to be alone
'Cause I hope and I pray
Open our hearts and show us the way

I know love is the answer
And fear serves only to bind
Keep us all together

I awake to my beating heart
You save my soul from falling apart
Say goodbye I'm leaving the race
How I long for your embrace
How long did it take me to find?
So close I won't be left behind
I believe and to you I confess
I gave up on me
But you showed me happiness

Your love is the greatest gift I could hope to receive
I'm on my way to being so complete
I'd make no change to a perfect idea
Your love is the greatest gift I have ever seen

I found was missing inside
No longer does this girl need to hide
Lay me down that I may be strong
'Cause together is surely where we belong

Nightly I pray, no harm befalls you
Needless to say, it's all I can do
Your every desire I promise no less

When the sky is gray and it looks like rain
Just think of me, I'll come running from wherever I am
Just as fast as I can
How could I ever stand by
And watch all your hopes and your dreams just die
On my word, I'll be there soon
I'm coming to the rescue

That's the way a woman feels
She'll walk through fire if she has to
That's the way a woman feels
When she loves someone, like I love you

When lightning strikes and the thunder rolls
And you can't find shelter from the cold
If you close your eyes and say a prayer, I'll be there
How could I turn away
From the one whose life I'd die to save
There's no sacrifice too great to make
When you are the reason

That's the way a woman feels
She'll walk through fire if she has to
That's the way a woman feels
When she loves someone, she'll be there for you

How could I ever stand by
And watch all your hopes and your dreams just die
On my word, I'll be there soon

If you think I'm satisfied
If you believe everything's al right
Then you don't know day from night
You don't see the tears I cry, can't you see I feel the fire
I can't deny the way you touch that desire in me
Oh baby, God knows you do, like nobody can

So baby, baby be a man
Baby be a man, baby be a man, be a man to me
I'm doing everything I can to make you understand
Be a man to me

Used to be love at all hours
I never got a good night's sleep
Now it's hard to believe not long ago
You couldn't get enough of me
I know that you can deliver
Why don't you lay down and give it to me
If you don't want me to leave, just take my hand

And baby, baby be a man
Baby be a man, baby be a man, be a man to me
I'm doing everything I can to make you understand
If you want me for your woman, then baby, baby, baby

Come to me, talk to me, tell me what's wrong
But baby don't keep me waiting too long

There was a time I was not so certain
All the games I played just multiplied the hurtin'
Mixed emotions
Never knowing right from wrong
I kept it all inside
Pretending to be strong
I'm a woman, to myself I must be true
Finally I believe I know just what to do

I'm standin' up, willin' and I'm able
Now I'm standing up for the first time in my life
I'm standing up, now I'm ready for love

I was pushed around until I came to find
My insecurity was just a state of mind
Even though I only had myself to blame
Now I've learnt to trust my heart
And I'll never be the same
I'm a woman, but just like anybody else
I've got a lot to give, don't wanna keep it to myself

I'm standin' up, willin' and I'm able
Now I'm standing up for the first time in my life
