JIVE TALKIN'

Nobody believes what you say,

NIGHTS ON BROADWAY

Here we are,
in a room full of strangers,
standing in the dark,
when your eyes couldn't see me.

Well, I have to follow you,
though you didn't want me to,
but that won't stop my loving you,
I can't stay away.

Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway,
singing them love songs,
singing them straight to the heart songs.
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway,
singing them sweet sounds
to that crazy, crazy town.

Now in my place there are so many others,
standing in the line,
how long will they stand between us?

Well, I have to follow you,
though you didn't want me to,
but that won't stop my loving you,
I can't stay away.

Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway,
singing them love songs,
singing them straight to the heart songs.
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway,
singing them sweet sounds
to that crazy, crazy town.

I will wait,
even if it takes forever,
I will wait,
even if it takes a lifetime.
Somehow I feel inside,
you never ever left my side,
make it like it was before,
even if it takes a lifetime,
takes a life time.

Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway,
singing them love songs,
singing them straight to the heart songs.
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway,
singing them sweet sounds
to that crazy, crazy town.

Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway,
singing them love songs,
singing them straight to the heart songs.
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway,
singing them sweet sounds
to that crazy, crazy town.


FANNY (BE TENDER WITH MY LOVE)

Ah, first I rise, then I fall,

LOVE SO RIGHT

She came on like the night
and she held on tight
and the world was right when she made love to me,
we were free.

She moved in like a friend, started loving me,
and I thought I'd found my heaven in her arms,
but the morning when I woke up
I was here and she was gone,
now I'm hanging on,
maybe you can tell me...

how a love so right (uh)
can turn out to be so wrong,
oh my darling (oh my darling).
Aaah, how a love so right
can turn out to be so wrong.

Where the hell did she go when I need her close to me,
and the perfect story ended at the start.
I thought you came forever
and you came to break my heart.
Now I'm hanging on,
on the chance that you'll come back to me.

How a love so right
can turn out to be so wrong (so wrong)
oh my darling (oh my darling)
Aaah, how a love so right (a love so)
can turn out to be so wrong (so wrong)
oh my darling.

Ah, I could take it in my stride,
start living for the moment,
maybe half the things we sought
were never there,
simply open up our eyes
and break it down to size,
at isn't really fair.

How a love so right (oh)
can turn out to be so wrong (so wrong),
oh my darling.
Aaah, how a love so right (love so right)
can turn out to be so wrong (so wrong)
oh my darling
...

EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE

Just my dog and I at the edge of the universe.
Well, I didn't wanna bring her and I know it'll make her worse.
Now I look out on forever
and it must be nice down there,
and they call me Shenendora in the air.

Well, I'm ten feet tall, but I'm only three feet wide,
and I live inside an ocean that flows on the other side.
If I came back down tomorrow,
would it all be far too soon?
And it looks like it's gonna be a lovely afternoon.

I thought that I was going home,
and all the way I kept on praying.
I couldn't stop to turn around,
well, here I am and here I'm staying.

It's been my longest journey and I've come through the black of night.
I was tired and hungry when I saw your distant light.
Well, I know this may sound crazy,
but I'm sure I got here first.
I'm just me, Shenendora, at the edge of the universe.

I thought that I was going home,
and all the way I kept on praying.
I couldn't stop to turn around,
well, here I am and here I'm staying.

Just my dog and I at the edge of the universe.
Well, I didn't wanna bring her and I know it'll make her worse.
Now I look out on forever
and it must be nice down there,
and they call me Shenendora in the air.
At the edge of the universe...


HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE

Aah...
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain.
And the moment that you wander far from me,
I wanna feel you in my arms again.

And you come to me on a summer breeze,
keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave.
And it's me you need to show
how deep is your love.

Deep is your love,
how deep is your love,
I really need to learn,
'cause we're living in a world of fools
breaking us down,
when they all should let us be.
We belong to you and me.

I believe in you.
You know the door to my very soul.
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour.
You're my saviour when I fall.

And you may not think
I care for you.
When you know down inside that I really do.
And it's me you need to show
how deep is your love.

Deep is your love,
how deep is your love,
I really need to learn,
'cause we're living in a world of fools
breaking us down,
when they all should let us be.
We belong to you and me.

La ra ra....

STAYIN' ALIVE

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm,
I've been kicked around
since I was born.

And now it's all right, it's OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
the New York Times' effect on man.

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breaking and everybody shaking,
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive.

Well now, I get low and I get high,
and if I can't get either, I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes.
I'm a dancing man and I just can't lose.
You know it's all right, it's OK.
I'll live to see another day.
We can try to understand
the New York Times' effect on man.

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,

NIGHT FEVER

Listen to the ground,
there is movement all around.,
there is something going down
and I can feel it.

On the waves of the air,
there is dancing out there.
If it's something we can share,
we can steal it.

And the sweet city woman,
she moves through the light,
controlling my mind and my soul.

When you reach out for me, yeah,
and the feeling is bright.

Then I get night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it (oh).
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.

Here I am,
praying for this moment to last,
living on the music so fine,
borne on the wind,
making it mine.

Night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it (oh).
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.

In the heat of our love,
don't need no help for us to make it.
Gimme just enough to take us to the morning.

I got fire in my mind.
I get higher in my walking.
And I'm glowing in the dark,
I give you warning.

And the sweet city woman,
she moves through the light,
controlling my mind and my soul.

When you reach out for me, yeah,
and the feeling is bright.

Then I get night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.

Here I am,
praying for this moment to last,
living on the music so fine,
borne on the wind,
making it mine.

MORE THAN A WOMAN

Oh, girl, I've known you very well.
I've seen you growing everyday.
I never really looked before
but now you take my breath away.

Suddenly you're in my life,
part of everything I do.
You got me working day and night
just trying to keep a hold on you.

Here in your arms I found my paradise,
my only chance for happiness.
And if I lose you now I think I would die.

Oh, say you'll always be my baby,
we can make it shine,
we can take forever,
just a minute at a time.

More than a woman,
more than a woman to me.
More than a woman,
more than a woman to me.

Oooh
There are stories old and true
of people so in love like you and me.
And I can see myself,
let history repeat itself.

Reflecting how I feel for you,
thinking about those people ,
then I know that in a thousand years
I'd fall in love with you again.

This is the only way that we should fly,
this is the only way to go,
and if I lose you I know I would die.

Oh, say you'll always be my baby,
we can make it shine,
we can take forever,
just a minute at a time.

More than a woman,
more than a woman to me.
More than a woman,
more than a woman to me.

Ooooh
More than a woman,
more than a woman to me.
More than a woman,
more than a woman to me....


IF I CAN’T HAVE YOU

Don’t know why
I’m surviving every lonely day,
when it’s got to be
no chance for me.

My life would end,
and it just don't matter how I cry
my tears of love,
a waste of time.
If I turn away,
am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do.

If I can’t have you,
I don’t want nobody, baby.
If I can’t have you.
Ah ah ah ah.
Ah.
If I can’t have you,
I don’t want nobody, baby.
If I can’t have you.
Ah ah ah ah.

Can’t let go,
and it doesn’t matter how I try.
I gave it all
so easily
to you, my love,
to dreams that never will come true.
Am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do.

If I can’t have you,
I don’t want nobody, baby.
If I can’t have you.
Ah ah ah ah.
If I can’t have you,
I don’t want nobody, baby.
If I can’t have you.
Ah ah ah ah.

If I can't have you...


(OUR LOVE) DON'T THROW IT ALL AWAY

Maybe I don't wanna know the reason why.
But lately you don't talk to me.
Darling, I can't see me in your eyes.

I hold you near but you're so far away.
And it's losing you I can't believe,
to watch you leave and let this feeling die.

You alone
are the living thing that keeps me alive.
And tomorrow
if I'm here without your love,
you know I can't survive.
Only my love can raise you high above it all.

Don't throw it all away, our love, our love.
Don't throw it all away, our love.
Don't throw it all away, our love, our love.
Don't throw it all away, our love.

We can take the darkness and make if full of light.
But let your love flow back to me.
How can you leave and let this feeling die.

This happy room will be a lonely place when you are gone.
And I won't even have your shoulders for the crying on .
No other woman's love could be as true, I'm begging you...

Don't throw it all away, our love, our love.
Don't throw it all away, our love.
Don't throw it all away, our love, our love.
Don't throw it all away, our love.

We changed the world, we made it ours to hold.
But dreams are made for those who really try.
This losing you is real.
But I still feel you here inside.

Don't throw it all away, our love, our love.
Don't throw it all away, our love.
Don't throw it all away, our love, our love.
Don't throw it all away, our love....


TOO MUCH HEAVEN
Nobody gets too much heaven no more.
It's much harder to come by.
I'm waiting in line.

Nobody gets too much love anymore.
It's as high as a mountain
and harder to climb.

Oh, you and me, girl.
got a lot of love in store.
And it flows through you
and it flows through me.
And I love you so much more
than my life.

I can see beyond forever.
Everything we are will never die.
Loving's such a beautiful thing.
Oh, you make my world a summer day.
Are you just a dream to fade away?

Nobody gets too much heaven no more.
It's much harder to come by.
I'm waiting in line.

Nobody gets too much love anymore.
It's as high as a mountain
and harder to climb.

You and me, girl, got a highway to the sky.
We can turn away from the night and day
and the tears you had to cry.

You're my life.
I can see a new tomorrow.
Everything we are will never die.
Loving's such a beautiful thing.
When you are to me the light above,
made for all to see our precious love.

Nobody gets too much heaven no more.
It's much harder to come by.
I'm waiting in line.

Nobody gets too much love anymore.
It's as high as a mountain
and harder to climb.

Oh..

Loving’s such a beautiful thing.
You make my world a summer day.
Are you just a dream to fade away?

Nobody gets too much heaven no more.
It's much harder to come by.
I'm waiting in line.

Nobody gets too much love anymore.
It's as wide as a river
and harder to cross.

Nobody gets too much heaven no more.
It's much harder to come by.
I'm waiting in line.

Nobody gets too much love anymore.
It's as high as a mountain
and harder to climb.

Nobody gets...


TRAGEDY

Here I lie,
in a lost and lonely part of town,
Held in time,
in a world of tears I slowly drown.
Going home,
I just can't make it all alone.
I really should be holding you, holding you,
loving you loving you.

Tragedy.
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
it's tragedy.
When the morning cries and you don't know why
it's hard to bear.
With no-one to love you
you're going nowhere.

Tragedy.
When you lose control and you got no soul
it's tragedy.
When the morning cries and you don't know why
it's hard to bear.
With no-one beside you
you're going nowhere.

Night and day,
there's a burning down inside of me.
Oh. Burning love,
with a yearning that won't let me be.
Down I go,
and I just can't take it all alone.
I really should be holding you, holding you,
loving you, loving

Tragedy.
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
it's tragedy.
When the morning cries and you don't know why
it's hard to bear.
With no-one to love you
you're going nowhere.

Tragedy.
When you lose control and you got no soul
it's tragedy.
When the morning cries and you don't know why
it's hard to bear.
With no-one beside you
you're going nowhere.

Ah

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
it's tragedy.
When the morning cries and you don't know why
it's hard to bear.
With no-one to love you
you're going nowhere.

Tragedy.
When you lose control and you got no soul
it's tragedy.
When the morning cries and your heart just dies
it's hard to bear.
With no-one beside you
you're going nowhere.

Ah

Tragedy...


LOVE YOU INSIDE OUT

Ah ah ah...

Baby, I can't figure it out
Your kisses taste like honey.
Sweet lies don't gimme no rise.
Oh, oh what you're trying to do?

Living on your cheating and the pain
grows inside me,
it's enough to leave me crying in the rain.
Love you forever but you're driving me insane
and I'm hanging on,
oh.

Oh I'll win, I'll never give in.
Our love has got the power.
Too many lovers in one lifetime
ain't good for you.

You treat me like a vision in the night.
Someone there to stand behind you
when your world ain't working right.

I ain't no vision, I am the man
who loves you inside out,
backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out.
I love no other way.
What am I gonna do
if we lose that fire?

Wrap myself up and take me home again.
Too many heartaches in one lifetime
ain't good for me.
I figure it's the love that keeps you warm.
Let this moment be forever,
we won't ever feel the storm.

I ain't no vision, I am the man
who loves you inside out,
backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out.
I love no other way.
What am I gonna do
if we lose that fire?

Don't try to tell me it's all over.
I can't hear a word, I can't hear a line.
No man could love you more.
And that's what I'm crying for.
You can't change the way I feel inside.

You're the reason for my laughter and my sorrow.
Blow out the candle I will burn again tomorrow.
No man on earth can stand
between my love and I.
And no matter how you hurt me,
I will love you till I die.

I ain't no vision, I am the man
who loves you inside out,
backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out.
I love no other way.
What am I gonna do if we lose that fire?

Love you inside out,
backwards and forwards...
