7:45 on the radio, and the voice says
Time to rise and shine
Gotta get you up, then I disappear
In the time that I'm away from you
Gotta start the grind, gotta turn it on
Make it happen, gotta use my mind
Start again tonight with a fantasy
But today it's just survival
Trying to keep it all alive

A woman's work is never done
I don't stop (take care of everyone)
A woman's work is never never done

Stayin' home ain't easy and who's to say
It don't count, if the job don't pay
Workin' double duty, doin' overtime
All I need is what I'm gettin' from you
Takin' care of business with the money man
Is a game, don't misunderstand
Tonight you'll make it right, take me away
All I need is some affection
Shoot a little love in my direction

A woman's work is never done
I don't stop (from dawn to setting sun)
A woman's work is never never done

You should know
What I need, yea
Baby what you got
What you got
Won't ya show me some affection
Shoot a little love in my direction

A woman's work is never done
I don't stop (Take care of everyone)
A woman's work is never never done

A woman's work is never done
I don't stop (from dawn to setting sun)

. . .



I need your body
I got to have your body

You whisper my name and I feel my heart
Beat like it's never gonna stop
I lose all self control and feel it start
Your love takes me right to the top

And the wind, cries out
Out your name, to, me
And I feel, no shame
Feeling this way

I need your body
I got to have your body
Close to me
Such a temptation
A burning new sensation's
Flowing through me
I want you close to me

You make me feel like we're the only ones
Who've ever been in love before
These feelings burn inside me night and day
You keep me reaching out for more

And the wind cries out
Out your name to me
And I feel no shame
Feeling this way

I need your body
I got to have your body
Close to me
Such a temptation
A burning new sensation
Flowing through me
I need you close to me

And the wind, cries out
Out your name, to me
And I feel, no shame
Feeling this way


. . .



Woo woo, woo woo woo
Woo woo, close to my heart

No secrets between us
It's time for us to both come clean
Let the water wash away illusion
From now on I need more than a dream

I demand attention from the one I love
You'll get my affection when you give enough
So tell the truth from the very start
Then I'll keep our secrets
Close to my heart

Woo woo, woo woo woo
Woo woo, close to my heart
Woo woo, woo woo baby
Tell the truth from the very start

Red roses cool champagne
You know it really doesn't matter to me
There is only one door through my soul
Be good and I'll give you the key

I demand attention from the one I love
You'll get my affection when you five enough
So tell the truth from the very start
Then I'll keep our secrets
Close to my heart

Woo woo, woo woo woo
Woo woo, close to my heart
Woo woo, woo woo baby
Tell the truth from the very start

Woo woo, woo woo woo
Woo woo, close to my heart
Woo woo, woo woo baby
Tell the truth from the very start

I demand attention from the one I love
You'll get my affection when you five enough
So tell the truth from the very start
Then I'll keep our secrets
Close to my heart

Woo woo, woo woo woo
Woo woo, close to my heart
Woo woo, woo woo baby

. . .



Wheels within wheels
You think you're such a big shot
Manipulate, whoever you can
Just as long as you get what you want
You promise the world
"Stick with me: and I'll make you a star
'Cause I know the game
I've got it all planned
Without me you won't get very far

You talk but you don't say anything
You talk and your words don't mean a thing
You just talk for the sake of talking

Knowin' all the right people
You've got an 'in' with everyone
But I've heard from your so called friends
And they're all sayin' your face is run
Never admit to being wrong
Keep losing in your quest for fame
Look for the ladder in someone else's song
Then at the top you shout your own name

You talk but you don't say anything
You talk and your words don't mean a thing
You just talk for the sake of talking

You talk but you don't say anything
You talk and your words don't mean a thing
You just talk for the sake of talking

You talk as if you've been everywhere before
You act as if you know so much more
You never talk to, but you always talk down
You wanna soar like an eagle
But you're stuck on the ground

You talk but you don't say anything
You talk and your words don't mean a thing
You just talk for the sake of talking
(Repeat)


. . .



Heard a rumour
You've been seen out late at night with a friend
And there's a word that's going 'round
That soon our love will end
Heard a rumour
I don't believe it
It's all over town
I won't believe it

There's a story I heard
That you've met somebody new
That she's young and beautiful
And means a lot to you
Rumour has it
I don't believe it
It's all over town
I won't believe it

'Cause if you lied to me
After all we had
If you break us apart
I'll be more than mad
I won't believe it

There'll be thunder on the mountain
Darkness on the sea
I've given everything
And you won't take that from me
There's a rumour
I won't believe it
Rumour has it
I can't believe it

There are certain things I've heard
You'll find hard to deny
I'll accept it if you say
It's just a pack of lies
There's a rumour
I don't believe it
The word's been going 'round
I won't believe it

'Cause if you lie to me after all we had
If you break us apart
I'll be more than mad
I won't believe it

. . .



One step forward
Two steps back
Everytime I meet someone new
I draw another blank
Circular motion
It always ends up the same
A voice in my head
Keeps on calling your name
Calling your name

Images of love
Keep on coming back to haunt me
Images of love
Keep on turnin' my mind around
Images of love
Of when we were together
Images of love
Will haunt me forever
Forever

A flick of the wrist
Another roll of the dice
One more chance for romance
But something makes me think twice
No physical intervention
You don't have to be there
'Cause I'm chained to your name
And the love that we shared
All the love that we shared

Images of love
Keep on coming back to haunt me
Images of love
Keep on turnin' my mind around
Images of love
Of when we were together
Images of love

After all this time you are still on my mind
I keep feelin' the hurt and livin' the pain
'Cause no power on earth
Can ever put out the flame

Images of love
Keep on coming back to haunt me
Images of love
Keep on turnin' my mind around
Images of love
Of when we were together
Images of love

Images of love
Keep on coming back to haunt me
Images of love
Keep on turnin' my mind around
Images of love
Of when we were together
Images of love
Will haunt me forever
Forever

Images of love
Images of love
Images of love

. . .



We've been so close to each other
Can't think of a moment
That you weren't there
We've been through so much together
Can't think of a feeling
That we haven't shared
Ooh how many lovers
Ever found the kind of love that we got
Ooh there ain't many others
'Cause you know what we've got is a real thing,
Oh it's ever lasting

This love is as strong as steel
Can't break it up or break it down
It's always gonna be around
This love is a love that's real
It's as deep as any ocean goes
It's gonna last don't you know,
This love is strong as steel

We've been right here for each other
Even through the times when
Times were hard for us
When it rained we came through shining
Always knew we'd make it
All it takes is trust
Ooh and now there's nothing
That could ever come between you and me
Ooh our love is one thing
That just keeps on getting better
The more that we're together

This love is as strong as steel
Can't break it up or break it down
It's always gonna be around
This love is a love that's real
It's as deep as any ocean goes
It's gonna last don't you know
This love is strong as steel
There ain't no rainy weather
That's gonna sweep this love away
We're gonna stand together heart to heart
And nothin's gonna tear this love apart

This love is as strong as steel
Can't break it up or break it down
It's always gonna be around
This love is a love that's real
It's as deep as any ocean goes
It's gonna last don't you know
This love is strong as steel

This love is as strong as steel
This love is a love that's real
It's as deep as any ocean goes
It's gonna last don't you know

. . .



Proven patterns breaking down
All controls gone underground
We should have never come to this
Yet here we stand
Devoid of optimists

The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
We set the wheels in motion
Now we're caught in the commotion
The machine's breaking down

Lebanon, Iraq, Iran
Ethiopia and Afghanistan
Religion and politics, plunder and rape
While the weak cow down
And pray for escape

The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
We set the wheels in motion
Now we're caught in the commotion
The machine's breaking down

Addicts bent on self-destruction
A billion dollars for the masters of seduction
Despair and hope go hand in hand
Charting the inevitable course of man
Bloody images bounce off the wall
As the satellite pictures tell it all
While common goals and common ground
Disappear as the world breaks down

The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
We set the wheels in motion
Now we're caught in the commotion
The machine's breaking down

The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down

. . .



Who knows what the future holds
Who knows what tomorrow brings
Somewhere there's a place for us I know
You chose to go your own way
Kept searching for brighter days
But the feeling that keeps haunting you won't go

I'll be here when you really want me
I'll be here when you need me right here
I'll be here when you're thinking of me
I'll be here
Waiting with my love to draw you near

You won't ever find a love
Like mine you were so certain of
I gave it all to you and non-one else
I'll hold on till time stands still
But until you say you will
Come back to me so we can love again

I'll be here when you really want me
I'll be here when you need me right here
I'll be here when you're thinking of me
I'll be here
Waiting with my love to draw you near

What we left behind was out key to love
We both made our mistake
But it's never too late
To get back where we belong

I'll be here when you really want me
I'll be here when you need me right here
I'll be here when you're thinking of me
I'll be here
Waiting with my love to draw you near

I'll be here when you really want me
I'll be here when you need me right here
I'll be here when you're thinking of me
I'll be here
Waiting with my love to draw you near

. . .



Walking in the shadows
Constantly evading the light
Shattered dreams cry out
As you move through the night
Cautiously I look around
A sense of fear tells me you're near
Suddenly I catch a glimpse of that frozen state

Stagefright whenever I see you
Stagefright whenever I'm near you
Stagefright stagefright
Whenever it's you

I know I should just walk away
But the feeling's so hard to ignore
Magnetic eyes hypnotize
As you peer through the door
You know my every weakness
You control the movement and sound
From the dark I hear you voice
But there's no-one around

Stagefright whenever I see you
Stagefright whenever I'm near you
Stagefright stagefright
Whenever it's you

You speak my name and I'm breathless
I can't run I can't hide wanna scream
All motion stops as if in a dream
Just one more hour to midnight
The witching hour is at hand
There's no use running
Now I know I'm part of your plan

Stagefright whenever I see you
Stagefright whenever I'm near you
Stagefright stagefright

Stagefright whenever I see you
Stagefright whenever I'm near you
Stagefright stagefright

Stagefright whenever I see you
Stagefright whenever I'm near you
Stagefright whenever I see you

. . .



I believe when I fall in love
With you it will be forever

Shattered dreams, worthless years
Here am I encased inside a hollow shell
Life began, then was done
Now I stare into a cold and empty well
The many sounds that meet our ears
The sights our eyes behold
Will open up our merging hearts
And feed our empty souls

I believe when I fall in love
With you it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love
This time it will be forever

Without despair we will share
And the joys of caring will not be replaced
What has been must never end
And with the strength we have won't be erased
When the truths of love are planted firm
They won't be hard to find
And the words of love I speak to you
Will echo in your mind

I believe when I fall in love
With you it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love
This time it will be forever

I believe when I fall in love
With you it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love
This time it will be forever

. . .



We got together
And then we fell apart
We had to move on
And make a brand new start

(Time went on) You started missing me
(Realise) You could be kissing me
(Now you're here) Here to stay
I wouldn't have it any other way

Oh ...
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh ...
I wouldn't change a thing
No ...

Sometimes a breakup
Can really bring you down (oh so down)
But then it's better
The second time around

(You and I) We just belong together
(Can't deny) But baby we could never
(Be apart) For very long
Cause what we got is just too strong

Oh ...
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh ...
I wouldn't change a thing
No ...
Oh ...

After you put your whole heart and soul in it baby
Sometimes you still got to lose your love to the end
We begin, we begin, we begin again
Baby, baby, we begin again

Oh ...
I wouldn't change a thing
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh ...
Baby, I wouldn't, I wouldn't
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh ...

. . .



I love you too much baby
To stand in your way
You know I'm not afraid
To hear what you have to say
I know it maybe time for you to leave
But you always got a friend in me

Cause I only want the best for you
My darling, the best for you
I only want the best for you
My baby, the best for you

So many nights, baby
I've spent in your arms
How could I ever change
This feeling inside my heart
I hope you'll find happiness with me
But even if it's not too big

I only want the best for you
My darling, the best for you
I only want the best for you
My baby, the best for you

If there's anything that I can do
Please tell me
Cause I only want the best for
Only want the best for you

Just say >
Don't say goodbye
Oh baby we've got time
I have no doubt
Things will work out
Cause baby you're a friend of mine
Yeah

If there's anything that I can do
Please tell me
Cause I only want the best for
Only want the best for you

I only want the best for you
My darling, the best for you
I only want the best for you
My baby, the best for you
The best for you
The best for you

. . .



Yeah, yeah

Don't you feel natural lying beside me
Running your fingers through my hair
A kiss so tender
Baby surrender
Is it so hard to say you care

Don't know how to take it
Don't know where we are
How we gonna make it
If you can't put your heart

On the line
Line, got to be willing
Let the way you're feeling
On the line

Try to imagine how it will sound
If you close your eyes and no words came out
It's so easy
Tell me the truth
Say you love me like I know you do
Where do we take it
How do we start
If you want us to make it
Got to put your heart

On the line
Line, got to be willing
Let the way you're feeling
On the line

On the line
Line, baby how willing
To let the way you're feeling
On the line

Oh I
Don't think that saying you love me
Make you less a man
I know it's not an easy thing
Come on put your heart
Put your heart in my hands
No, no, no
Baby I'm willing

Where do we take it
How do we start
If you want us to make it
Got to put your heart

On the line
Line, baby how willing
To let the way you're feeling
On the line

On the line
Line, got to be willing
To let the way you're feeling

. . .



Believe me baby
You make me feel good
You make me feel good

What everybody tells me
I'm gonna ruin the day
But I'm just too hung on you baby
To stay away

Maybe I'm in love and that shouldn't be
Maybe I don't know what's good for me
But when you raise your eyes and look that look
I wanna rip out all the pages in my love book

All I wanna do is be with you
You make me feel good
All I wanna see is you with me
You make me feel good

Well I can hear a whisper
When we go by

. . .



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
