Do You
See Me?
There's a photograph hanging on the wall
A frame in the shape of a heart
Won't let that picture fall
Another place, another time
It's so hard for you to believe
I left that place behind
Well I'm standing in front of you now
Right here, tonight
Do you see me? (Can you really see?)
Do you see me as I am?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me when I speak?
Open up your eyes tonight
Before the tears start to fall
Love is no more than any photograph on the wall
The years get swept like dust by a broom
And memories burn like a flame
Inside an empty room
I need to make new memories now
But you want to keep me in yours
As if you could somehow
Do you want some prisoner of time?
Or someone to love?
Do you see me? (Can you really see?)
Do you see me as I am?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me when I speak?
Listen to my voice tonight
And let the words find your heart
There is nothing but your fear to keep us apart
(Time) Time can be a master thief
With no conscience it seems
(Don't) Don't become a victim again
Forever chasing endless dream
Do you see me?
Do you see me as I am?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me when I speak?
TALK TO ME
Would you mind
If I held you
Would you mind
Or would you tell me not to
Would you mind
Breaking rules with me
Would you mind
Or would you rather let us be.....
* Too long waiting around
Just to get my lips on you
Too long waiting around
To let you out, let you slip, in and out my fingertips
** Talk to me
I don't really know you
Talk to me
Come on and make a sound
Talk to me
Need to get to know you
Talk to me
Don't play me around
Would you mind
Me comin' over
Would you mind
Or are you out with Casanova
Would you mind
If I telephoned
Would you mind
We really need to talk alone
* Repeat
** Repeat
Come on girl and talk to me
Oh I need to see you smile
We don't need no wedding ring
We just need to talk for a little while
* Repeat
ONE LAST DANCE
As I look into your eyes
And tell you how I've been
I still can't find the words to say
What I really feel within
I guess I'll keep pretending
That everything is fine
And act as if I'm over you
And that you never cross my mind
But if my heart beats wild when I'm close to you
Will you see the spark in my eyes
Before we say
Our goodbye's
* Don't you hear the music that we dance to
Since we missed our chance
Share the moments that we plan to
Can one dance do any harm
Baby won't you hold me like you used to
Forget I ever knew you
If it happens that I lose you
This one dance will keep you close to my heart
I've missed your tender touch
I've dreamed of being here
But even sweetest dreams
You'd always disappear
So I can't be sure what you're lookin' for
Or expect forever again
When even tonight
Has to end
* Repeat
Memories, I tossed away
Returned as good as new
So how can I just walk away
From one last dance with you
When even now..... I'm still in love with you
I can't stop thinking we're meant to be
More than old friends meeting tonight
And the light in your eyes
Says I'm right
* Repeat
PUPPET ON A STRING
What a crazy game, I can't use your name
In this atmosphere
A class conscious click, everybody lives slick
You ain't accepted here
** But I'll be your Puppet on a string
Just for a chance to be your everything
This life ain't nothin' if I'm not with you
And I give it all up, and this is what I'll do
* I'll change my situation
Leave materialization
For you
This is what I'm gonna do
Change my circulation
Leave extravagation
For you
Don't need, don't want, don't need nothin' nothin' more
(Rap)
I got no money, I got no yacht
I can't compete with what your friends got
But if it's love that your talkin' today
Then take my hand and let's slip away
This prejudice place, will never embrace
Anything but their own
They're stuck on the thought, that's everything's bought
And you don't bring strange boys home
But I'll be your Puppet on a string
Just for a chance to be your everything
My friends may not see what I see in you
But I'll give'em all up, and this is what I'll do
* Repeat
(Rap)
Too raw
And too cold
All your family and your friends
Live in the "Days Of Old"
** Repeat
* Repeat
SOMEWHERE IN JAMAICA
Every single morning
I'd go through all my clothes
I'd brush my teeth and comb my hair
And put on my Dad's cologne
I'd leave the house real early
And get to school on time
I'd go and sit in homeroom class
And ditch the place by 9
We'd meet outside the churchyard
Underneath the willow tree
The place where we had carved our names
And talkedabout our dreams
We shared the same desite
To run away from home
To go and find a secret place
Where we could be alone
Somewhere in Jamaica
Maybe in Brazil
On top a little mountain
Beside a grassy hill
Somewhere in Djakarta
Or a Polynesian Sea
It really didn't matter where
If she was there with me
We went around in circles
About our crazy plan
And talked about our parents
How they'd never understand
But it really didn't matter
We were takin' off from home
We knew what we were looking for
A secret place where we could be alone
* Somewhere in Jamaica
Maybe in Brazil
On top a little mountain
Beside a grassy hill
Somewhere in Djakarta
Or a Polynesian Sea
Underneath a Waterfall
Or a Euciplitus Tree
** Somewhere in Morroco
Maybe in Peru
In a Costa Rican Jungle
Or in a small canoe
Somewhere in Malaysia
Or maybe Mosambeek
It really didn't matter where
If she was there with me
Oh how we wished we were older
Sailing through Montego bay
Just like the Birds we would fly
Fly to a place far away
* Repeat
** Repeat
I wonder what she's doing
Does she ever think of me
And all the dreams that we once shared
Beneath the Willow Tree
WAITING FOR YOUR LOVE
There you go again
Walking down that old familiar street
You walk like a conquering hero
With the world at your feet
* (Do you think that I will be here, waiting for you?)
Do you think I'll be here?
Do you think that I'll be waiting for your love?
** I know there must be others
I know I'm not alone
I know that someone else is waiting for you
You never have to worry
You'll never be alone
You know that someone else is waiting for your love
So here I am tonight
Staring at the street outside my door
I wonder where it has taken you
Like so many nights before
* Repeat
** Repeat
And if I tried to follow you
It would be like walking on broken glass
Every step would tear at my heart
I just can't take that chance
* Repeat
** Repeat
IF ONLY
Everytime I think about it
Something strong comes over me
Never will I live to doubt it
That you and I were simply meant to be
How could we have given up so easy
When we had so much worth fighting for
* If only we had worked it out together
Through it all
If only we talked a little longer
And broken down thewalls
If only we had held each other tighter
You'd might still be with me
Everytime I dream about it
I picture what we should have done
But how can I forget it
When life with you had only just begun
Now I sit alone thinkin' about us
Wondering where we would have been today
* Repeat
I don't know if I can take it anymore
I'm fighting on for you, but I'm losing the war
So tell me what I should do
To get back inside of you
Once again
* Repeat
EVERYTHING YOU DO
Holding you tonight
I can't help but lose control
The fire behind your eyes
Burns right into my soul
Your hands, your heart
Are the only things I feel
The way that you're touching me
I'd swear this dream wasn't real
* Everything you do, everything you say
Everything that you are
Makes me want to run, makes me want to hide
Makes me want to love you
Shining like a light, burning in the night
Burning up together
You can be the first, you can be the last
You can be forever
I can't seem to find
The right words for this affair
Nothing really matters
Just as long as you're there
I can't stop this heart
From pounding in my ears
If I could survive this night
There'll be nothing left to fear
* Repeat
Maybe I'm just a fool
Fooling with romance
Mistaking love for lies
But I'm ready to take the chance
* Repeat
NO SECRET
You should a known that people talk
You didn't try to cover up
I really thought I'd win your love
But that's all over
You didn't think that I would know
I didn't want a romeo
A lot of guys come on to me
But I stood by you
It could have been one for the other
I've always given you everything
And when you run for cover
Don't come to me in the heat of the night cause
* It's no secret
Everybody says you've been playin' around
And it's no secret
All my girlfriends saw what's been goin' down
You're busted
You wanna be a friend of me
Why don't you try reality
And what am I supposed to do
When you don't respect me
I thought that we could have some fun
Now everything's been said and done
I know when I get over you
I'll find someone else
You should have told me you loved me
Cause now I'm never gonna feel the same
I figured that I could trust you
But I know to you that this love's just a game
** And it's no secret
Everybody knows you're just playin' the part
And it's no secret
I was good to you and you broke my heart
It's no secret
You wouldn't know a good thing if it came around
And it's no secret
That you've been doin' every girl in town
You do what you want you don't think of me
You better know my love ain't free
I sit at home while you play the town
You think you're a man but you're getting me down
So go do your girlfriend and I hope you have fun
If I see you again you better run
You think you're a playboy that's fine with me
But understand somethin' sucker you're history
It could have been on for the other
I've always given you everything
I figured that I could trust you
I know to you that this love's a game
* Repeat
** Repeat
I WANT YOUR NUMBER
In your time the buck is everything
And I know most girls like diamond rings
There's no time just to sit and stare
You're in deep or in the cold somewhere
* Everybody wants to get a hold of me
To suck my blood away
They're all out to ruin my credibility
But that ain't it with me, boy
I just want your number
I want your number
Come on and write those 7 digits on my hand
Give me your number
When it comes to lovin' you're my man
There's hope when I dream of you
Every night it's just the thing to do
So tender when we're one on one
A love so strong - Till the tax man come
* Repeat
** I want your number
Come on and write those 7 digits on my hand
Give me your number
When it comes to lovin' you're my man
I want your number
You can write it anywhere at all
Give me your number
Long at it's correct you'll get a call
Only 7 digits to love
976-7EXY
What a personality
Loaded with ability
So much sensuality
A living breathing entity
What is it specifically
Draws me irresistably
Something scientifically
Make him look good socially
In my eyes you're everything
So sweet - you're just a sexy thing
Every word, every plead
Should tell you how much
That I need you
Give me your number
** Repeat
EVERY SINGLE KISS
I was happy all by myself
I had my freedom, didn't need any help
There was no one to break my heart
No one to hurt me or tear me apart
Still I dreamed about someone like you
Then the dream came true
* Every single kiss
Every day we spend together
Every time we touch
Makes me want to stay together
Lovin' you was not my plan
But there were things I did not understand
The past is over, now I realize
I see the future when I look in your eyes
** I believe that love can come true
I believe in you
* Repeat
I know that hearts can break and
Love can be forsaken
That's why I could never be taken
Don't you see, that just wasn't me
You and I were meant to be
** Repeat
* Repeat and fade
CLOSER TO YOU
Never pictured you and I on a night like this
With half lit sky and a heart felt kiss
I can't get over how it get this for
Guess you had it all planned out
Then you stole my heart
So here I am with you
Closer to love than I've ever been
Must've had a thing for you
I'll tell you want I wanna do
* I want to hold on to your hand
Spend every moment with you
I want to hold on
And everything you've put me through
It's just brought me closer to you
There was never a time when you didn't care
You were always close you were always there
And now I see you on this moonlit night
And we're standing here in a different light
So here we are
Looks like you stole my heart away
Must've been always you
But I didn't know till today
* Repeat
Every time you smile
They say it's never too late
Guess we just had to wait
It's just brought me closer, closer to you
* Repeat
YOUR LIPS DON'T LIE
Now baby can't you see
I'm up against a wall
I try to give you what you want
But girl you want it all
So the question I must ask
And the answer you must give
Is whether or not the time has come
To live and let live
You can call it quits
You can call me names
You can slam the door
But the truth remains
You can say it's over
But two can play that game
Cause when we touch
I can feel the flame
All you want to do to me
Is tie me down
Nail me to the ground
You wanna clip my wings
And all those things
Just to keep me around
But when I will
Girl, You won't And when I do - you don't
It's plain to see
That we can't agree
We're better off alone
* I'm not stoppin' you baby
I ain't about to crawl
A touch is wrth a thousand words
And your kiss just says it all
** Yeah, your lips don't lie
When you put your mouth on mine
No your lips don't lie
Let me feel it one more time
Your lips don't lie
It's love that they betray
Your lips don't lie
When you're kissin' me, kissin' me, kissin' me that way
Girl you're always early
It isn't that I'm late
And everything we try to talk
It turns into a debate
What you want
Is what I got
What it is
And what it's not
Baby there are questions
Only time will tell
But keep on holding me
It ain't pure hell
You tell me when to stop, when you're in my car
You say I go too far, and all I ever get
Is a "BABY NOT YET", no matter where we are
* Repeat
** Repeat
I'm not saying I don't love you
Then why is it you're pushing me away
Cause I'm not sure of what I'm feeling
Do you want it
I don't know
Tell her don't let go
I'm not sure he knows what he really wants to say
Fellas
What
I don't know
Better get your butt in gear
And let me tell you
If you don't know what you're feeling now
You'll be lost in another year
** Repeat and fade
THROUGH IT ALL
I've been here
Fighting for so long
Holding it together
What went wrong
I can't go
Another day like this
There's so much missing
Within yur kiss
Here I am - Dying
Hoping that your heart is there for me
I can't remain waiting endlessly
* So - Through it all
I'll have to go on living another day
With or without you
And through it all
I will go on finding another day
With or without you
** Though you are still part of my life
I'll get over you
Time can't heal
Or take me from this place
Cause the bond that was between us
Has been erased
And here you are
Without a thing to say
I can see it in your eyes
Never cared anyway
Here I am dying
Knowing that you never fell for me
I can't believe you led me endlessly
* Repeat
Through it all
** Repeat
* Repeat
Through it all...
SAY A PRAYER TONIGHT
How many ways can you hurt the one you love
How many times can yu break my foolish heart
You think that this can go on forever
You think that you're smart
I think that you have seen the very last time I fall apart
* You better say a prayer tonight
You had better learn to care about me
You better say a prayer tonight
Or you will have to learn to live without me
There was a time when you'd whisper my name
When I close my eyes I can hear it once again
But when the echoes fade away
There's nothing but pain
If I don't stop my heart from listening to you
I'll go insane
* Repeat
Someday you'll find out
That love is not found just anywhere
It's not everywhere
And maybe you will turn around
And you'll find I won't be there
* Repeat and fade
LOCKED INSIDE A DREAM
Well I'm lying here, in the dark
Staring out at the moonlight
Wondering, I'm wondering
Will I be in your dreams tonight
It was on a nightlikethis
When you said goodbye
I can still see that look in your eyes
* Are you staring at the same moon
(Is this a love that shines?)
Is it shining in your heart
(Am I lost in a dream?)
Am I more than just a memory
(Is this a real love?)
Is this love locked inside a dream
There were endless days, endless nights
Seemed like summer would never pass
Seasons come and seasons go
Now there's nothing but photographs
I wish my love would let me go
But it holds me so near
And this night makes me wish you were here
* Repeat
Some nights I can almost feel you
As if you were here
There are times when I reach out for you
When the nights are so painful clear
* Repeat
COUNT ON ME
Heart break sometimes
We all can fall
No stars shining in the night
We stand alone
Feeling small
No hope - No ending in sight
* My arms will comfort you
The answer to your prayer
Reach out - Hold on I'll be there
Whenever you need some consolation
Whenever you need to shed a tear
Whenever you need me I'll be waiting
I'll always be near
You can always count on me
Dreams die sometimes
The world won't seem fair
Hold on - You'll make it alright
Be strong and carry on
Faith will see you through
Good things are waiting for you
** Whenever you need some consolation
Whenever you need to shed a tear
Whenever you need me I'll be waiting
I'll always be near
Whenever you need a friend to talk to
Someone who can help you work it out
Remember that I'm a friend who loves you
Don't you ever doubt
You can always cout on me
* Repeat
** Repeat and fade
NEW SENSATION
You give your sweet love I can understand
I got the wholeworld in the palm of my mind
All day and night it feels so right
I can tell something real is going on
I'll testify you rule my mind
No defense against the words you're saying
* Now I know what nights are for
When you touch me, I can't move - Can't speak
Those kisses sweet make me so complete
** It's a new sensation
And I'm feeling so strong
Celebration
You've got me singing this song
A new sensation
Everything I need
New sensation
Satisfaction guaranteed
We're soul to soul, It's touch and go
Dancing close to the fire brings my heart along
I know you care and you're always there
So close and the heat gets so strong
Can't fight all those secret feelings
When you touch me, We can't run - Can't hide
Take it like a man cause I know you can
Knock me off my feet
** Repeat
You give meyour sweet love I can understand
Now I got the wholeworld in my hand
Call you up feeling like a child
Cause the sound of your voice drives me so wild
* Repeat
** Repeat and fade |
