HE'S A LIAR

I was stood by the light as I looked through your window
with the greatest intention not meaning to see,
I was there in the dark and I saw you together,
you were up in his arms, I was down on my knees.

Get the cards on the table,
no need to pretend,
you've got to be cruel to be kind,
he can sell you his love and you know you will pay, but
he's a liar,
he's a liar, and I should know.
Liar, he's a liar and I should know (aaah).

Well, they told me I fell but I just don't remember,
I was standing face down, they were there at my feet.
There was smoke in the air and the sweet smell of leather,
I was out through the window and down in the street.

Well, I'm cold and I'm hungry but I'm still alive,
and it's not how I want it to be,
there's a hand on my shoulder,
he said I'll survive, but

he's a liar,
he's a liar, and I should know.
He's a liar, and I should know (aaah).

Was it not for the man that was blocking the drive,
was it not for the red limousine,
I'd be millions of miles from the scene of the crime,
and somehow in this madness believe she was mine, but

I'm a liar,
he's a liar, and I should know
Liar, he's a liar, and I’d know (aaah).
He's a liar...


ANOTHER LONELY NIGHT IN NEW YORK

Baby, oh no, I've been stuck here.
I've been searching so long.
Baby don't go, millions of people were wrong.
In the dark of the cold light of day,
I will still be here.
If my heart and my soul had their way,
you would still be here.

Another lonely night in New York.
The city of dreams just keeps on getting me down.
'Cause my baby's no longer around
and my feeling can never be found.

Another lonely night in New York
and my sorry eyes are looking out on the world.

Baby, you said, a guy like me was way out of line.
And knowing today, your leaving was a question of time.
In the mist of a sweet summer rain, you will find me here.
Should the sparkle of stars lose their way,
I'll be holding near.

Another lonely night in New York.
The city of dreams just keeps on getting me down.
'Cause my baby's no longer around
and my feelings can never be found.

Another lonely night in New York.
And my sorry eyes are looking out on the world.
In the dark of the cold light of day,
you will find me here.
If my heart and my soul had their way,
you would still be here.

Another lonely night in New York.
And I'm just a soul in the heart of the city.
Just another lonely night in New York.
The city of dreams just keeps on getting me down.
Just another lonely night in New York.


THE WOMAN IN YOU

The woman in you
brings out the man in me.
It's the woman in you
And the finer parts of your anatomy.

But baby, sharper than a knife,
help me to know you.
Show me the night to satisfy
A sinner with the flash of an eye.

There'll never be another me.

I never knew love could wind me up.
I don't do my stuff
till you go walking by,
and maybe old enough to try.

I never knew anyone in between,
the devil and the angel,
all in one and maybe old
enough that I can ride.

Your love let me burn.
Let me slide down to your soul.
You can pull me in.
You can push me out.

But your baby needs love,
somebody to hold.
Show me what to do.

The woman in you
brings out the man in me.
It's the woman in you
and the finer parts of your anatomy.

But baby, stronger than the wind burn
in the fire out of the night,
I'll teach you how to tremble
if you give me the night.

There'll never be enough to me.
I never knew I could find the best.
But searching out the rest,
there is no doubt and maybe we can
sweat it out.

I never knew we could find
a way to  this crazy situation
over me and we forget about
the world outside.

My love in your eyes.
There's no world.
There is no time.
You can hold me in.
You can throw me down.

But your baby needs love,
somebody to hold.
show me what to do.

The woman in you brings out
the man in me.
It's the woman in you
and the finer parts of your anatomy.


SOMEONE BELONGING TO SOMEONE

I know how I feel,
lonely in the black of night.
There can be no love for me now.
Nobody listens when the words ain't right.

And you get into someone else.
It's hard for me to know
who's lovin' who,

and where do I stand,
what did I do it all for.
There's no one I could love more.
I did it for your heart alone.

All that I try to be growing inside to me.
I can be strong if you're there.

And there is someone belonging to someone.
And I got no one belonging to me,  me.

I'm caught in a world where the face of an angel
is all that a fool can see.
You got the power to find me whenever I'm lost.

Where are you? Who are we, we?

I believe in time.
Can eat away a heart of stone.
And baby, if I leave you too late,
it's just a feather and the bird has flown (in your eyes).

It's colder when the fire dies,
with all the trouble I'm in if I lose you too.

Then what is my life
if I don't wanna go through
anything without you?
Couldn't be a life at all.

I could be lying on.
You are the only one.
We didn't make it by chance.

And there is someone belonging to someone.
And I got no one belonging to me.

I'm caught in a world on the edge of tomorrow.
It's all that a fool can find.
I don't belong in the arms of a love that is lost.

Nowhere to cry.
There must be something we can say, my love,
something except goodbye.

Then what is my life
if I don't wanna go through
anything without you?
Couldn't be a life at all.

I could be lying on.
You are the only one.
We didn't make it by chance.

And there is someone belonging to someone
And I got no one belonging to me.

And there is someone belonging to someone (someone belonging to me)
And I got no one belonging to me (no one belong, no one belong, ah)...


TOYS

Don't tell me not to stare at you.
I see the danger in your eyes.
I would go anywhere with you:
into your private paradise.
into your bedroom point of view,
into the depths of hell for you.

I would lead where others would not try.
By your side I can't speak.
Think about it, don't worry.
Take a lifetime, don't hurry.
Doesn't matter what your game is.

I'd like to play with your toys.
I'd like to play with your toys.
Be one of your special friends.
One last emotion can bring.

I'd like to play with your toys.
I'd like to play with your toys.
Be one of your special friends.
One last emotion can bring.

Extraterrestial love affair,
into your secret hall of fame.
Pray for the sacred and the strong,
pray for the others gone insane.
Into your bedroom point of view,
into your private paradise.
Open the gates and let me through
into the depths of hell for you.

I would lead where no other man would try.
Oh by your side I can't speak.
Think about it, don't worry.
Take a lifetime, don't hurry.
Don't you blame me 'cause I love you.
What your game is, yeah.

I'd like to play with your toys.
I'd like to play with your toys.
Be one of your special friends.
One last emotion can bring.

Oh baby
Someday your love will be over me.
And I feel, and I feel
creatures of the night,
keepers of the faith.

I'd like to play with your toys.
I'd like to play with your toys.
Be one of your special friends.
One last emotion can bring...


MY ETERNAL LOVE

I gave you something for nothing, my love.
This apparition of living your lie.
I had the power but you stole control, my love.
I need you close to me I can't deny.

It's your night world.
Places I've never known.
All of the wonders lay before me.
I pray this heaven never stops.

It's your night world.
Things are revealed to me.
And all the arms cannot hold you.

I will see your face in the morning sunrise.
Hear your crying every lonely winter long.
I need your body and soul to get me through.
Holding me over you.

Don't tell me that I came one love too late.
No other woman would I place so high above.
I'll take the little that I get in return for
my eternal love.

When you're lonely, do you cry, baby, cry.
What do they give you when the dream is not enough?
This is the hour and the candles are burning,
my eternal love, my eternal love.

I get to watch you when the moon is full.
Time to love you when the others are gone.
Though what I follow may be fictional,
I need to be with you or I may die.

In your night world,
doors that are open wide.
Then I can make my promise to you.

You will hear my voice in the mountain thunder.
Feel me loving you across the universe.
And when the pieces are whole,
there's me and you, you and me eternally.

I may be broken but I try, baby, try.
Whatever gets you are the things that I must do.
I'd like to hit you with a little of my
eternal love for you.

I will be with you when my sweet baby cries.
You let me give you what the dream is worthy of.
This is the hour and the candles are burning,
my eternal love,
my eternal love,
my eternal love.

Don't tell me that I came one love too late.
No other woman would I place so high above.
I'll take the little that I get in return for
my eternal love.

I may be lonely but I'll try, baby, try.
You let me give you what the dream is worthy of.
This is the hour and the candles are burning,
my eternal love.

I will be with you when you cry, baby, cry.
You let me give you what the dream is worthy of.
I'll take the little that...


WHERE TOMORROW IS

She's gone.
I'm a victim of love.
And I reach for her cry.
There's no perception of time.
She's out of my world and I'm alone.

The city sleeps, she comes, she goes.
She loves another one.

And I got no chance, no time.
Ain't nothing stops the rain but the sunshine.
I can see nobody, tell me where my angel goes.
I say the devil knows.

I'm lost.
No sky above me.
No earth below me.
Show me where tomorrow is and teach me to see.
Someone else may cry for me, could be.
Show me where tomorrow is 'cause I don't know.
Show me where tomorrow is 'cause I don't know.
Show me where tomorrow is.

Suspicion.
The lies on your lips and your tenderness.
I lie in wait for the gift of her pain.
She'll never be mine and I'm all alone.
And through a stranger, lives can change
and hearts can overcome.

But I need her face, so young.
Ain't nothing stops the fire and it burns on.
Too late now she tells me.
We cannot live this lie.
She came home to say goodbye.

I'm lost.
No sky above me.
No earth below me.
Show me where tomorrow is and teach me to see.
Someone else may cry for me, could be.
Show me where tomorrow is, 'cause I don't know.
Show me where tomorrow is, 'cause I don't know.
Show me where tomorrow is.

I must go on.
Whatever the heart must take.
I'll keep my love alive.
And all you got is freedom.
It ain't enough.

'Cause I don't know.
Show me where tomorrow is, 'cause I don't know.
Show me where tomorrow is, 'cause I don't know.
Show me where tomorrow is, 'cause I don't know.
Show me where tomorrow is....


LETTING GO

A child
that hides behind a chair,
almost afraid to grow
without you there.
Whisper words that make you see
what you've come to mean to me.

A voice
that rises from the heart,
the hunger that seizes me
and tears my soul apart.
And serving only to renew
how I came to feel for you.

Through your love I'd seen
forever.
We became as one.
I never saw you turn away.
My love was blind.

You call me when your storm is over.
Crying over love that I can give you.
When the night is the colder.
Holding on to me.

'Cause it's so hard letting go.
And it's so hard not to cry.
With your face that lies,
you memorize
the reason why.

And when the  love is gone
then one of us will know
it's so hard letting go.

Foolish that I still believe
that love should never die.
It makes me cry to witness
where the story ends.

All the lovers in the world will
echo all the words that I will leave you,
When the night is lonely
only goes to show...

...that it's so hard letting go.
And it's so hard not to cry.
And I kneel for yesterday,
when you were mine.

And when the love is gone,
then one of us will know
it's so hard letting go.
 

E. S. P.

Dark is the night, high is the fire,
touches the sky, love with no shape or form.
I am in your mind's eye, just let your dreams run wild.

Somewhere, out across the nation,
someone, waiting in the shadows,
listen, I don't wanna hear
"return to sender"
calling. I can see the future,
someday, signal with a single motion
show me you believe in someone, somewhere.

Oh baby, you give me,
you give me the runaround,
just another night with you,
you're on my mind.
And we got love,
and love'll take you higher and higher and higher,
higher and higher.

E. S. P.
I communicate with you,
tell me what it means to feel,
what am I supposed to do.
E. S. P.
Nothing any words can say,
nothing that we know is real,
but it'll take your breath away,
your breath away.

Danger, suddenly an early warning,
suddenly the soul is burning,
but I still believe in someone, somewhere.

Baby, you give me,
you give me the runaround,
just another night with you,
I'm in your mind.
And we got love,
and love'll take you higher and higher and higher,
higher and higher.

E. S. P.
I communicate with you,
tell me what it means to feel,
what am I supposed to do
E. S. P.
and love'll take you higher and higher and higher,
higher and higher.
Be prepared to make your sacrifice, tonight,
far beyond the point of no return, oh no.
And we got love,
and love'll take you higher and higher and higher,
higher and higher, higher and higher,
higher and higher, higher and higher.

Oooh, oooh, oooh,
what am I supposed to do,
supposed to do.
Oooh, oooh, oooh,
but it'll take your breath away,
your breath away.

E. S. P.
I communicate with you,
tell me what it means to feel,
what am I supposed to do,
supposed to do.

E. S. P.
nothing any words can say,
nothing that we know is real,
but it'll take your breath away,
your breath, your breath away.
E.S.P.
nothing any words can say,
nothing that we know is real,
but it'll take your breath away.


YOU WIN AGAIN

I couldn't figure why you couldn't give me what everybody needs,
I shouldn't let you kick me when I'm down, my baby.
I find out everybody knows that you've been using me,
I'm surprised you let me stay around you.
One day I'm gonna lift the cover and look inside your heart,
we gotta level before we go and tear this love apart.

There's no fight you can't fight this battle of love with me,
you win again,
so little time, we do nothing but compete.
There's no life on earth, no other could see me through,
you win again,
some never try but if anybody can, we can,
and I'll be, I'll be following you.

Oh baby, I shake you from now on,
I'm gonna break down your defenses one by one,
I'm gonna hit you from all sides, lay your fortress open wide,
nobody stops this body from taking you.
You better beware, I swear,
I'm gonna be there one day when you fall,
I could never let you cast aside the greatest love of all.

There's no fight you can't fight this battle of love with me,
you win again,
so little time, we do nothing but compete.
There's no life on earth, no other could see me through,
you win again,
some never try but if anybody can, we can,
and I'll be, I'll be following you.

You win again,
so little time, we do nothing but compete.
There's no life on earth, no other could see me through,
you win again,
some never try but if anybody can, we can,
and I'll be, I'll be following you.

You win again,
so little time, we do nothing but compete.
There's no life on earth, no other could see me through,
you win again,
some never try but if anybody can, we can.

There's no fight you can't fight this battle of love with me,
you win again,
so little time, we do nothing but compete.

There's no life on earth, no other could see me through,
you win again,
some never try but if anybody can, we can,

There's no fight you can't fight this battle of love with me,
you win again,
so little time,....


ORDINARY LIVES

There'll be one small light all over the world tonight.
The search will go on for the one.
It was love with no name
and we glowed in the sun.

There was one small dream,
incredible highs and lows,
what little we knew living ordinary lives (lives).
Made a dream for you, living ordinary lives (lives).

Ordinary people living ordinary lives.
Ordinary people living ordinary lives.

We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.

The clock on the wall keeps moving,
time stands still,
no matter how the dice may fall,
someone else always gets to call the number.

Say goodbye cruel world.
No pity no pain tonight.
Whatever the cost all is lost.
If this is love with no name,
then it's all in the stars.

Whether it's wrong (wrong) or right,
there's no one to blame no (no) lies.
What else could we do
living ordinary lives (lives)?
Made a dream for you,
living ordinary lives (lives).

Oh, oh. We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people.

What else could we do,
living ordinary lives (lives)?
Made a dream for you,
living ordinary lives (lives).

Oh, oh. We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.


ONE

I feel my heartbeat
when you run your fingers through my hair, oh yeah.
I can tell you I can feel you by my side
when you're not there, oh yeah.

Just as my life fades to darkness,
you make me see the light.
Show me that my search is over,
I pay the price, I pay the price.

I tell you someday,
baby, you and I should be one, one, oh yeah.
Do it always,
brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun, oh yeah.

The taste of love is sweeter like honey on the vine,
like the wind that feeds the fire,
two souls become entwined.

Someday,
baby you and I should be one, one.

So I'm standing 'round this corner
tall enough to touch the New York sky, oh yeah.
My love is so blind
I just cannot hear or see the world go by, oh yeah.

Someone can love so completely,
one kiss should break the seal.
Truth can be stranger than fiction,
this love is real,
this love is real.

I tell you someday,
baby, you and I should be one, one.
Do it always,
brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun, oh yeah.

Ah, we are one, we are one.

I will follow,
count on me, I'll never let you down, oh yeah.
My devotion,
if love is like an ocean I will surely drown, oh yeah.

You'll be my only possession,
I'll be a slave to you.
We hold the power together,
just me and you,
just me and you.

I tell you someday (someday),
baby, you and I should be one, one, oh yeah.
Do it always (always),
brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun, oh yeah.

I'll tell you someday (someday),
baby, you and I should be (you and I should be one) one, one.

You know my life is in your hands,
and every breath you take is planned
and all this love goes on forever.

I'll tell you someday (someday),
baby, you and I should be one, one, oh yeah.
Do it always (always),
baby, you and I should be one (you and I should be), one, oh yeah.

I'll tell you someday (someday),
baby, you and I should be one, one, oh yeah...


JULIET

I steal the night away,
Driving my life away, dancing.
I was a romeo,
I knew the art of romancing.
I was just one of the guys
and I thought I had it made.
I needed someone to show me how to love.

Juliet, oh Juliet,
the night was magic when we first met.
Juliet, oh Juliet,
you know you taught me to fly.
You take me clear to the sky.
And all the people around the world can stand aside
for me and my baby, Juliet.

Fighting with destiny,
fortune and fame but kept losing.
Playing a joker's game,
only myself I was fooling.

I was an average guy
in a world of empty dreams.
You've broken down all the walls
with your love.

Juliet, oh Juliet,
this kind of loving you don't forget.
Juliet, oh Juliet,
you know you taught me to fly.
You take me clear to the sky.
And all the people around the world can stand aside.

Close your eyes, Juliet, don't let go.

On and on, our love is like the sun.
It keeps going strong throughout eternity.

I wanna love you in my life, sweet Juliet.
Living without you in my life, oh my girl Juliet.

Juliet, oh Juliet,
this kind of loving you don't forget.
Juliet, oh Juliet,
you know you taught me to fly.
You take me clear to the sky.
And all the people around the world can stand aside.

Juliet, oh Juliet,
this kind of loving you don't forget.
Juliet, oh Juliet, Ah...
Juliet, oh Juliet...
