Laura Branigan - The Very Best Of Laura Branigan [compilation] (2002) by Laura Branigan (보컬) on maniadb.com

Oh the night
is my world
City light
painted girl
In the day
nothing matters
It's the night
time that flatters
In the night
no control
Through the wall
something's breaking
Wearing white
as you're walkin
Down the street
of my soul
You take my self
you take my self control
You got me livin
only for the night
Before the morning comes
the story's told
You take my self
you take my self control
Another night
another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to
forget to play my role
You take my self
you take my self control
I I live among the creatures
of the night
I haven't got the will
to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow
so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
A safe night
I'm living in the forest of my dream
I know the night
is not as it would seem
I must believe in something
so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
I I live among the creatures
of the night
I haven't got the will
to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow
so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never knows
A safe night
I'm living in the forest of a dream
I know the night
is not as it would seem
I must believe in something
so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You take my self
you take my self control
You take my self
you take my self control
You take my self
you take my self control
You take my self
you take my self control
You take my self
you take my self control
You take my self
you take my self control
You take my self
you take my self control
You take my self
you take my self control

Ti amo, God how I love you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holdin' on
Even though you're gone
Ti amo, wasn't I good to you?
I did all that I could do
To make you want to be here with me
I thought you loved me
I can't believe you could just turn and leave
Y'did it so easily
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me
How could you end it this way
After the love that we made?
God how I wish you had stayed
Can't you see that I just want you back?
Ti amo, I never had a clue that I was losin' you
You never once let me know you were lettin' me go
Oh, I guess it was there in your eyes
Guess it was there in your sighs
Guess it was there in your lies
I was blind then, couldn't face the end
Ti amo, thought we'd go on and on
Thought we had something strong
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me
How could you end it this way
After the love that we made?
God how I wish you had stayed
Can't you see that I just want you back?
Ti amo, God how I love you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holdin' on
Even though you're gone
Guess it was there in your eyes
Guess it was there in your sighs
Guess it was there in your lies
I was blind then, couldn't face the end
Ti amo, thought we'd go on and on
Thought we had something strong
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me
How could you end it this way
After the love that we made?
God how I wish you had stayed
Can't you see that I just want you back?
Ti amo, wasn't I good to you?
Did all that I could do
To make you want to be here with me
I thought you loved me
I can't believe you could just turn and leave
Y'did it so easily
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me
Ti amo, God how I love you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holdin' on
Even though you're gone ... [fade out]

You can break away or you can stay
You choose your life, you're free to fly
Go on and fly
Go on and fly
She had it in her own time
To get away and try to find
Somewhere to go, to run
She saw the world through open eyes
And never let a soul inside
Don't come too close, so close
Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?
Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, you got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Her soul was strong, her heart was tough
And when she felt she had enough
She tore herself away
Love in the dark is all you see
Get what you want, not what you need
You look the other way
Never letting on to what it's all become
Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one, the lucky one
Oh, life is a dream, the lucky one
Life is a dream, the lucky one, the lucky one
Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?
Like a wild bird of prey, like a thief in the night
You can take what you want, and you don't think twice
'cos the world's in your hands, and you've got all you want
And you won't change a thing, you're the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one
Oh, the lucky one

There was heat in the air
And cops everywhere you looked
So there wasn't a lot
And the breaks that you got You know you took
And I remember wonderin' Where you been
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio
The night Spanish Eddie fell from grace
There was amazement on his face
On the night that Eddie failed Sanity prevailed
It was June or July
When the heat from above beat down
It was famine or drought
When the brothers went out Of syle uptown
And we was mixin' Vicks with lemon gin
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playin "Desolation Row" On the radio
The night Spanish Eddie made front page
His revolution came of age
He wrote "Surrender" on the wall
The night he took the fall
I heard someone say "He's tryin' to fly"
Like Eddie used to say We'll do when we die
I know someone turned you For a spin
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio

Feel it tonight
Rainin' down as cold as ice
The air that we breathe
Is all we share between us
Wearing the scars
Deep inside our desert hearts
Tell me where did it go
Why did love ever leave us
Now the memories burn in my eyes
As I remember the look of the broken hearted
Never thought I'd be one of their own

We're standing in a shadow forever
Her shadow's in the way of our love
What should have been forgotten
Forever more
The shadow of what was
Now I'm the one who loves you
But I know we can't hide we can't run
From the shadow she casts on the night
The shadow of love

I want to believe everything that I can't see
But the truth always lies somewhere in between us
I can't help what I feel in the night
Thoughts disturbing the sleep of our innocent lives
Will these dreams ever leave us alone

We're standing in the shadow forever
Her shadow's in the way of our love
What should have been forgotten
Forever more
The shadow of what was
Now I'm the one who loves you
But I know we can't hide we can't run
From the shadow she casts on the night
The shadow of love

I want to know I'll always be
All alone with you
I'm the only one
But long before we ever were
You belonged to her
And she still isn't gone...

Now I'm the one who loves you
But I know we can't hide we can't run

We're standing in the shadow forever
Her shadow's in the way of our love
What should have been forgotten
Forever more
The shadow of what was...

(Gerry Goffin/Carole King)

Tonight you're mine completely
You gave your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure?
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I, can I believe the magic of your sigh?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken, baby,
When the night meets the morning sun?

I'd like to know that your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell, tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me?
Will you still love me?
Will you still love me... tomorrow?

I could hardly believe it when I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leaving, someone swept your heart away
From the look upon your face I see it's true
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone

Didn't come here for cryin', didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is comin' to an end
How can I blame you when I built my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends
And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'
I need you know, it's more than I can take

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone

And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'
Now that your dream has come true

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been loving you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
All that I've been livin' for is gone

Without you, after I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been

Don't you know
So many things they come and go
Like your words that once rang true
Just like the love I thought I found in you
And I remember the thunder
Talkin' about that fire in your eyes
But you walked away when I needed you most
And maybe baby maybe baby

I found someone to take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feeling since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Dry your eyes
I never could bear to see you cry
Someday your love will shine through
And show you the feelings you never really knew
Baby don't you lose that thunder
Talkin' about that fire in your eyes
You're looking at me but you still don't believe
And maybe baby maybe baby

I found someone to take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been livin' with since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Too long on the border line
Wonderin' if your love was really mine
But you left me with open eyes
And now I realize

I found someone to take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feeling since you've been gone

I found someone to take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been livin' with since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Gloria, you're always on the run now
Running after somebody, you gotta get him somehow
I think you've got to slow down before you start to blow it
I think you're headed for a breakdown, so be careful not to show it

You really don't remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha, Gloria, how's it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line, or will you catch him on the rebound?
Will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slipping away, don't believe it's comin' back soon

And you really don't remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

(Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria)
(Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria)

I gave you everything I had
You broke it up and you made it bad
I'm not the kind who can take it alone
I've got nothing more for you
I want somebody who needs me too
I've given up, boy
I'm chasing my joy
And you can make your own
You're not the only one
Go out and have your fun
'Cos my time will come
You can shatter glass
With your heart of stone
But you won't get far on your own
You keep running hot and blowing cold
And everything you hold
Just falls apart like shattered glass
It really doesn't matter to me
Where you're going and who you see
I know that I can make it this time
It doesn't matter any more
Since you've gone and walked out that door
I made a new start
I found a true heart
I'm gonna make it mine
You're not the only one
Go out and have your fun
'Cos my time will come
You can shatter glass
With your heart of stone
But you won't get far on your own
You keep running hot and blowing cold
And everything you hold
Just falls apart like shattered glass
You can shatter glass
With your heart of stone
But you won't get far on your own
You keep running hot and blowing cold
And everything you hold
Just falls apart like shattered glass

(Andy Goldmark/Steven Kipner)

What's going on down on the planet
What's going on inside your pretty head
What's life without a Mercedes
And the need to feel adrenaline rush

Is it better than moonlight on water
Is it better than sex on the beach
Think about us riding wild horses
Think about us it's not out of reach

I'm here for you
No matter where you go no matter what you do
I'm here for you
When there's a lonely night who can you hold on to
I'm here for you
Want you in my arms uncomplicated
I am for you I am

Who's gonna be the competition
Who's next in line for promotion baby
Everyday the real world is fading
Spinning out on the wheel of fortune but

Is it better than moonlight on water
Is it better than sex on the beach
Think about us riding wild horses
Think about us it's not out of reach babe

I'm here for you
No matter where you go no matter what you do
I'm here for you
When there's a lonely night who can you hold on to
I'm here for you
Want you in my arms uncomplicated
I am for you I am

You've been working so hard, don't you know it baby
You don't understand what I want from you
Instead of dreamin' 'bout all that money
We got such simpler things to do

Like moonlight on water
Like sex on the beach
Think about us riding wild horses
Think about us it's not out of reach babe

I'm here for you
No matter where you go no matter what you do
I'm here for you
When there's a lonely night who can you hold on to
I'm here for you
Want you in my arms uncomplicated
I am for you I am
But don't you worry 'bout the wrong things

I still remember how much I used to need you
Tried so hard to please you, but you didn't need me
You knew I loved you, knew I always would be there
You just did what you wanted, you didn't care
All the cards were held by you
There was nothin' I could do
All those nights I sat alone, starin' at the telephone
Wonderin' were you ever comin' home

Solitaire, it got so lonely
Solitaire, no one to hold me
Where were you when I played solitaire?

It took some time but I stopped thinkin' about you
Started livin' without you, now look who's back here
You've had a change of heart, well, mine just couldn't wait, no no
You found out you loved me just a little too late

Once the cards were held by you
Now there's nothin' you can do
All those nights you sit alone, starin' at the telephone
Wonderin' if I'm ever comin' home

Solitaire, see what it's like now
Solitaire, to cry all night now
Solitaire, see how it feels to bear

Solitaire, it gets so lonely
Solitaire, you wanna hold me
Don't wait up, 'cos babe, I won't be there
Solitaire, solitaire, solitaire

Solitaire, see what it's like now
Solitaire, to cry all night now
Solitaire, see how it feels to bear

Solitaire, it gets so lonely
Solitaire, you wanna hold me
Don't wait up, 'cos babe, I won't be there
Solitaire (solitaire, solitaire)

(Jack White/Mark Spiro)

Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
It's just a matter of time
Until you're running back in my arms again
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
I hear you knock on my door
And it will be just like before you were gone
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
I won't be thinking of you
And you will be wondering what to do all alone

One more night I won't miss you
One more day I'll be alright
A few more hours to watch the rain fall
I don't miss you at all

Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
It's just a matter of time
Until you're running back in my arms again

I can do what I want, don't need nobody to comfort me
I sleep okay at night, don't need your body right next to me

Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow
I hear you knock on my door
And it will be just like before you were gone
Maybe tonight and then maybe tomorrow
I won't be thinking of you
And you will be wondering what to do all alone

I can do what I want, don't need nobody to comfort me
I sleep okay at night, don't need your body next to me
Maybe tonight and maybe tomorrow
It's just a matter of time
Until you're running back in my arms again

The whispers in the morning
lovers sleeping tight
is rolling by like thunder now
as i look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender now
A love that I could not for sake
Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
Even though there may be times
I seems so far away
Never wonder where I am
Cause I am always by your side
I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'About the power of love
The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear so suddenly
the feeling that I can't go on
is so far away
Cause I'm your lady
And you are my man
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'bout the power of love
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'bout the power of love
I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
'bout the power of love
