I was lost in france In the fields the birds were singing I was lost in france And the day was just beginning As I stood there in the morning rain I had a feeling I can't explain I was lost in france in love
I was lost in france In the street a band was playing And the crowd all danced Didn't catch what they were saying When I looked up he was standing there And I knew I shouldn't but I didn't care I was lost in france in love
Ooh la la la ooh la la la dance Ooh la la la dancing Ooh la la la ooh la la la dance Ooh la la la dancing Ooh la la la ooh la la la dance Ooh la la la dancing
I was lost in france And the vines were over-flowing I was lost in france And a million stars were glowing And I looked round for a telephone To say 'baby I won't be home' I was lost in france in love
Ooh la la la ooh la la la dance Ooh la la la dancing Ooh la la la ooh la la la dance Ooh la la la dancing Ooh la la la ooh la la la dance Ooh la la la dancing
And I looked round for a telephone To say 'baby I won't be home' I was lost in france in love
Ooh la la la ooh la la la dance Ooh la la la dancing Ooh la la la ooh la la la dance Ooh la la la dancing Ooh la la la ooh la la la dance Ooh la la la dancing Ooh la la la ooh la la la dance Ooh la la la dancing
Blown in the breeze Falling like leaves Give me a chance to recover Deep in you eyes Half of me lies Let me be more than a lover Let me be more than a lover
Oh, let it be known You're my heart, your my home You're the world that I wanna discover All I can give is the way that I live And I wanna be more than a lover Oh, let me be more than a lover
Lovers are like Stars in the night Never quite touching each other Deep in your eyes Half of me lies Let me be more than a lover Let me be more than a lover
Oh, let it be known You're my heart, your my home You're the world that I wanna discover All I can give is the way that I live And I wanna be more than a lover Oh, let me be more than a lover
Ad Libs...
Oh, let it be known You're my heart, your my home You're the world that I wanna discover All I can give is the way that I live And I wanna be more than a lover Oh, let me be more than a lover
You ask me if I love you I choke on my reply I'd rather hurt you honestly Than mislead you with a lie And who am I to judge you Or what you say or do When I'm only just beginning To see the real you
*And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much That I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you till I die Till we both break down and cry I wanna hold you till the feelings subside
Romance with all its strategy Leaves me battling with my pride And through the insecurity Some tenderness abides I'm just another writer Still trapped within my truth A hesitant prize fighter Still trapped within his youth
*repeat
Oh at times I want to break you And drive you to your knees At times I want to Break through And hold you endlessly
**Goodbye to the island Hello to the rain It's gone like a dream in the night And it won't be back again
Goodbye to the island Where our bodies touched Goodbye to a little bit of heaven And I miss you so much
*(Oh) Why love did you treat me this way Why love did you treat me this way Why love did you treat me this way Why love did you treat me this way
A bed it is an island A world apart Soft words in the middle of the night Straight from the heart Two heads on a pillow So warm, so close Goodbye to the island Where, where it mattered the most

A boy is born in Hardtime Mississippi Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty His parents give him love and affection To keep him strong, movin' in the right direction Living just enough, just enough for the city, Yeah
His father works some days for fourteen hours And you can bet he barely makes a dollar His mother goes to scrub the floors for many And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny Living just enough, just enough for the city
His sister's black, but she is sho 'nuff pretty Her skirt is short, but Lord her legs are sturdy To walk to school, she's got to get up early Her clothes are old, but never are they dirty Living just enough, just enough for the city
Her brother's smart, he's got more sense than many His patience's long, but soon he won't have any To find a job is like a haystack needle, 'cause Where he lives, they don't use coloured people Living just enough, just enough for the city Living just enough for the city
Here am I in love again clinging to your arms again Wondering why I wanted to be free Here am I next to you wondering what we ought to do Can't afford to lose it all again
Here am I, there are you, we nearly broke our hearts in two Would have been the worst thing in the world When I thought that we could live apart I must have been crazy, what a fool I was What a fool from the moment you got in my heart I should have known baby, but now I know, oh!

If I sing you a love song, will you always remember? Will you hear it on lonely nights when I'm not around? If I sing you a love song, will you hear it forever? To remind you how much I care and how I needed you
Love songs last longer than lovers ever do So baby let me sing a love song for you Love songs don't leave you but lovers often do Oh, baby I'm afraid it could happen to me and you
If I sing you a love song let it always be with you When the others have gone away let it still be there Love songs last longer than lovers ever do So baby let me sing a love song for you Love songs don't leave you like lovers often do Oh, baby I'm afraid it could happen to me and you
Didn't I make you feel Like you were the only man Didn't I give you everything That a woman possibly can Lord - But with all the love I give you It ain't never enough Well, I'm gonna show you baby That a woman can be tough So, come on, come on, come on, come on and
Break it Break another little piece of my heart now baby Take it Take another little piece of my heart now honey You can have it Have another little piece of my heart now baby You know you've got it If it makes you feel good
You're out on the street looking good And you know, deep down in your heart That it ain't right No...You never ever hear me when I cry at night Though I tell myself that I can't stand my pain But when you hold me in your arms, I say it again So, come on, come on, come on, come on and
Break it Break another little piece of my heart now baby Take it Take another little piece of my heart now honey You can have it Have another little piece of my heart now baby You know you've got it If it makes you feel good
Break it Break another little piece of my heart now baby Take it Take it little piece of my heart now honey You can have it Have another little piece of my heart now baby You know you've got it If it makes you feel good
In the middle of a sleepless night Got a feeling and it just ain't right The feeling just grows in my mind Something's missing in the way we kiss Never had so many nights like this Feels like a dream but it's true
I know I don't take you to heaven anymore I can tell by the way you touch me It's nothing like before I know I don't take you to heaven anymore I can tell by the way you love me It's nothing like before I can tell by the way you love me It's nothing like before
In the middle of a lonely day Though you're with me you're so far away We used to be close, real close Baby, don 't you see the danger signs? A love like ours is hard to find Something's gone wrong, can't you see?
I know I don't take you to heaven anymore I can tell by the way you touch me It's nothing like before I know I don't take you to heaven anymore I can tell by the way you love me It's nothing like before I can tell by the way you love me It's nothing like before
Oh I know I don't take you to heaven anymore I can tell by the way you touch me It's nothing like before I know I don't take you to heaven anymore I can tell by the way you love me It's nothing like before
Baby if you ever need me again There's no reason why we couldn't get it better than then I still get a feeling that we should've held on but we said goodbye I can t get over thinking our love was too young to die So baby if you ever need me again You know how I feel
Baby when another morning comes through If I find myself thinking that it might be too much to lose oh too much when Once in everybody's lifetime they say that you'll find Someone who you wanna cling to and you might be mine So baby if you ever need me again You know how I feel
Well it was out in California By the San Diego Sea That was when I was taken in And it left its mark on me Yeah it nearly drove me crazy 'Cause I felt I had no choice Yeah it seemed that I was only marking time With all those sailor boys
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet And I'm noticing a change As I move down the street Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes I may never be the same When I reach Baton Rouge
South Carolina put out its arms for me Right up until everything went black Somewhere on a lonely street And I still can't quite remember Who helped me to my feet But thank God for this long neck bottle The angel's remedy
Louisiana rain is falling just like tears Running down my face Washing out the years Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes I may never be the same When I reach Baton Rouge
Well I never will get over This English refugee Singing to the Juke Box in some All-Nite Beanery Yeah he was eating hard rock candy And chasing it with tea You should have seem him lick his lips When he looked up at me
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet And I'm noticing a change As I move down the street Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes I may never be the same When I reach Baton Rouge
I used to sit right down and imagine What it would be like To have your loving arms around me On a starry night
Oh but I got tired of dreaming Cos dreaming's nothing to do I got tired of dreaming About you
My guns are loaded You're in my sights I'm gonna love you tonight My guns are loaded They're pointing at your heart All I need is your loving And a full time place in your heart All I need is your loving And a full time place in your heart
I used to sit right down and imagine What it would be like To have you lying there beside me All through the night
There's no time now you said to be in love Anyhow what is my life to you Well there's no point it's true in pursuing you And it's not that I can or I'd want to But to be honest I'll say that there have been times When I've desired a kiss or a smile Once or twice you've shown the face I like And it's affected me more than I'd want it to
But what's the use in telling you If you don't feel the way I do It's so very wrong to hold a love so strong And never have the chance to share it
Bye bye now my sweet love Bye bye now my sweet love Bye bye those tears I cry I need you only to say goodbye
And now and again when I don't feel so shy I pretend to remember your name When the eyes don't see the heart doesn't feel And the distance between us remains
But what's the use in telling you If you don't feel the way I do It's so very wrong to hold a love so strong And never get the chance to share it
