You dress so formal like you don't even know
Whatcha got underneath it
Your straight-laced morals are just for show
Cause I know thatcha need it
I got you in my sites
Ya know I'm gonna give ya my best shot tonight
* Cause I can see 20/20
You just can't disguise
Oooh, the fire in your eyes 20/20
There's no way to hide
From my sweet love tonight*

So educated that you think you're above
My street wise emotion
So old fashioned when it comes to love
You talk of devotion
I don't wanna change your life
What I really want is your love for the night

(* Repeat)

Oooh, you know I can see you
I'm seem' right through you
oh you know that I want you
I want you tonight

(* Repeat and fade)

When I'm all alone on a distant path
And my ticket home has been torn in half
Oh, I can hear your voice, girl I can feel your touch
Across the miles tonight
On the road again, will it always be
That the dream gets changed on its way to reality
Oh, but the thought of you, strange how it pulls me through
Across the miles tonight
And I am sending you this message through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am, concentrating girl with all my might
Now the sound of your laughter trails off through the midnight sky
As the miles go by, cities come and go
When you close your eyes and listen to the radio
Girl, can you hear my song, the signal is clear and strong
Across the miles tonight
And I am sending you this message through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am, concentrating girl with all my might
Now the sound of your laughter trails off
Across the miles

When I'm all alone on a distant path
And my ticket home has been torn in half
Oh, I can hear your voice, girl I can feel your touch
Across the miles tonight
On the road again, will it always be
That the dream gets changed on its way to reality
Oh, but the thought of you, strange how it pulls me through
Across the miles tonight
And I am sending you this message through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am, concentrating girl with all my might
Now the sound of your laughter trails off through the midnight sky
As the miles go by, cities come and go
When you close your eyes and listen to the radio
Girl, can you hear my song, the signal is clear and strong
Across the miles tonight
And I am sending you this message through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am, concentrating girl with all my might
Now the sound of your laughter trails off
Across the miles

The night's alive with wind and fire
We telegraph our heart's desire
Through the night with our eyes
Wheels are turnin' fast and hard
Hearts are burnin' on the boulevard
Hear them pound young and proud
It's the American heartbeat
Chart the stars, head out for the action
Hit the streets and find some satisfaction

It's the American Heartbeat
The American heartbeat
It's the American heartbeat
Oh the American heartbeat

The stage is set the roles are chosen
The lights grow hot
As the midnight's closin' in
At last it comes so fast
Poundin' harder as the midnight's strikin
It hits us like a bolt of lightning
Deeper down it's the sound of the American heartbeat
Chart the stars, head out for the action
Hit the streets and find some satisfaction

** I've been holdin' out
I've been hiding from the light
Sneakin' down the back streets
Sneakin' down the backstreets
But no longer, can hide my eyes
From the city nights**
* And soon as love finds me I will go
No I won't, say no
As soon as love finds me (when it finds me)
I will go*

Now I've had my share
of one night affairs
When I was a little younger
(just a little younger)
Well it wasn't love
But we really didn't care
It was close enough

(* Repeat)

All my life I pretended ya know
I'd go through the motions
It's never been love
It's always been wrong, it's gotta be
Right on the time this time
I need, deep devotion
It's gonna be real emotion
Or I refuse to go

(**Repeat)
(* Repeat)

I will go

Summer and smoke, diamonds and dust
Go where you will, do what you must
The promise was made, your word was enough
We had dreams, visions and plans
Into the night, out of our hands
Letting our passion fulfill our demands
I remember those songs on the radio
The jasmine, the wind in your hair
Does it seem like so long ago?

*Broken promises
Is it written in stone that we wind up alone
Wo oh, broken promises
And a heart that recalls
When the promise was all that we had*

Into the dust, reckless we rode
Secret desire, talking in code
Bittersweet madness, the stories unfold
I remember those songs on the radio
The jasmine, the wind in your hair
And how it hurts to remember those

( * Repeat)

Two worlds collide
Rival nations
It's a primitive clash
Venting years of frustrations
Bravely we hope
Against all hope
There is so much at stake
Seems our freedom's up
Against the ropes
Does the crowd understand?
Is it East versus West
Or man against man
Can any nation stand alone

CHORUS
In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There's a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire

In the burning heart

In the warrious code
There's no surrender
Though his body says stop
His spirit cries - never!
Deep in our soul
A quiet ember
Know it's you against you
It's the paradox
That drives us on
It's a battle of wills
In the heat of attack
It's the passion that kills
The victory is yours alone

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat Chorus twice)

In the burning heart

You swore you'd never again, let yourself be tempted,
Too many times in the past when you've opened up your heart --
You've had it broken in pieces, by too many lies,
Still it's hard to acknowledge the past --
When she flashes those eyes,
Over and over the song skips,
Just as the final refrain fades away --
Like fools we are caught in the game

*Caught in the game,
Caught in the game again --
Caught in the game,
Caught in the game*

I swore I'd never again catch myself believin'
Too many times I've been hurt -- and it makes you hard inside
But when I saw you in the city tonight --
Was it just imagination --
Or did your eyes burn a little too bright,
For purely conversation --
Over and over the lights flash down at the corner arcade
Swept away --
Like fools we are caught in the game

( * Repeat)

Over and over the song skips
Just as the final refrain fades away.
Like fools we are caught in the game

( * Repeat)

When trouble's on my mind I like to reminisce
It was a simpler time, on just a night like this
We were so new to love we'd educate a guess
I taught you all I knew and you filled in the rest

*And I said ooh
Those were heavy nights
We were revin up, those chevy nights with you
(It's True)
And I said ooh, near the levy site
It was me and you and chevy
Those heavy nights with you*

September nights were cool but though the streets were hot
Perhaps the memories add mystery to the plot

But deep within my soul, I'm glad the times have changed
As long as rock and roll and the chevys stay the same

( * Repeat)
( * Repeat)

Well we rifle through the night,
Like riders on the run now, in the street--
Holding back the blinding light,
'Cause a thousand eyes can be so indiscreet,
And we hide away, love the night away,
And we run between the shadows and the light,

*We're children of the night,
Runnin' from the light,
Children of the night,
Of the night, oh yeah.*

In the day we pass like strangers,
'Cause we fear the consequences of our love,
And we realize the danger,
Still we choose to take our chances on our love,
And we hide away, love the night away,
And we run between the shadows and the light,

( * Repeat)

There's a fine line, such a fine line, a very fine--line,
Between the day and the nighttime,
The wrong and the right time, for makin' sweet love,
Find a place to hide, anyplace to hide, hidin' in the -- darkness,
Feels like the right time, for love in the nighttime,
For makin' sweet love.

Two dreamers, what would it feel like to meet by light of day
So lonely, wouldn't if feel right to love this night away
Your name keeps echoing down this wishing well
Wild hearts on an endless flight, set free in our dreams tonight

*Two souls drawn to the fire in desperate dreams
Two hearts lost to desire's desperate schemes
One girl lost in a reverie
Lost love found in a memory
Those nights live on forever
Two fools lost in a desperate dream*

Torn pages, more than a memory, pieces of the past
One vision, your image keeps haunting me, a love too good to last
Your voice keeps echoing down this wishing well
Wild hearts on an endless flight, set free our dreams tonight

(* Repeat)

One love divided burns brightly through the night
Two dreams united until the morning light

(* Repeat)

Two dreamers, what would it feel like to meet by light of day
So lonely, wouldn't if feel right to love this night away
Your name keeps echoing down this wishing well

It felt so easy in the morning sun
When love was in season I was on the run
I was lookin' for trouble and
the thrill of the chase
Love was lookin' at me eye to eye,
face to face
One touch should've told me,
try and understand
Love was always a long shot to a gambling man
With a roll of the dice, girl I threw it away
Now I'm thinkin' 'bout you day and night,
night and day
Didn't know it was love
Didn't know it was fate
Didn't know it was destiny callin'
Tell me it's never too late
Was I too blind to see
When push came to shove
You were all that I needed
Didn't know it was love
Wasn't blind to the magic,
you think I'm so tough
Turning back on the thunder
just ain't good enough
I keep trying to shake you,
there just ain't no way
Now I'm thinkin' 'bout you day and night,
night and day
Didn't know it was love
Didn't know it was fate
Didn't know it was destiny callin'
Tell me it's never too late
Was I too blind to see
When push came to shove
You were all that I needed
Didn't know it was love
Those crazy nights on the borderline
Did my best to cut myself free
Stood alone, just a prisoner
Never knew you were holdin' the key

I was lookin' for trouble and
the thrill of the chase
Love was lookin' at me eye to eye,
face to face
Didn't know it was love
Didn't know it was fate
Didn't know it was destiny callin'
Tell me it's never too late
Was I too blind to see
When push came to shove
You were all that I needed
Didn't know it was love

I'll never know what brought me here,
As if somebody led my hand,
It seems I hardly had to steer,
My course was planned.
And destiny it guides us all,
And by it's hand we rise and fall,
But only for a moment,
Time enough to catch our breath again.

And we're just another piece of the puzzle,
Just another part of the plan,
How one live touches the other,
Is so hard to understand.
Still we walk this road together,
We travel through as far as we can,
And we have waited for this moment in time,
Ever since the world began.

Taking in the times gone by,
We wonder how it all began,
We'll never know and still we
Try to understand.
And even though the seasons change,
The reasons shall remain the same,
It's love that keeps us holding on
Till we can see the sun again.

And we're just another piece of the puzzle,
Just another part of the plan,
And we have waited for this moment in time,
Ever since the world began.

And I stand alone, a man of stone,
Against the driving rain,
And the night it's got your number,
And the wind it cries your name,
If we search for truth, win or lose,
In this we're all the same,
The hope still burns eternal,
We're the keeper of the flame.

And we're just another piece of the puzzle,
Just another part of the plan,
How one live touches the other,
Is so hard to understand.
Still we walk this road together,
We try and go as far as we can,
And we have waited for this moment in time,
Ever since the world began.

Heart and soul I come to you
Are we meeting here on cue
Just in time for a love affair
Like a fool I'd walk through fire
Just to reach my heart's desire
Baby would you be waiting there
Can we afford to wonder
If this could be the one, wo-oh

*I'm looking for a love that's everlasting
I wonder if the feeling's strong enough
Tell me are we merely lovers passing
Or an everlasting love
This could be an everlasting love*

On this first night we are one
Kindred spirits on the run
Taking hold of our destiny
In this world of chances missed
Does forever still exist
This side of the fantasy
Can we afford to wonder
If this could be the one wo-oh

( * Repeat)

Risin′ up, back on the street
Did my time,
Took my chances
Went the distance
Now I′m back on my feet

I'm red-hot, higher than high
Getting some action on a midnight ride,
Feeling all right, this Saturday night,
Your touch ignites the fire
Driving my heel to the edge of desire
Feeling so right, it's Saturday night,
No more lonely nights searching for this feeling,
Lovelight's shining in your eyes

*Girl it sure feels like love
I need every day
Yeah it sure feels like love
I've been waiting, so long waiting
And it feels like love.*

I once thought love was for fools
For broken hearts and broken rules
I was so wrong, for so long
We're pulling over to the side of the road,
Decide if it's love or just an overload
Girl I need to know, ohh I gotta know
No more lonely nights searching for this feeling
Lovelight's burning in your eyes

I'm red-hot, higher than high
Getting some action on a midnight ride,
Feeling all right, this Saturday night,
Your touch ignites the fire
Driving my heel to the edge of desire
Feeling so right, it's Saturday night,
No more lonely nights searching for this feeling,
Lovelight's shining in your eyes

*Girl it sure feels like love
I need every day
Yeah it sure feels like love
I've been waiting, so long waiting
And it feels like love.*

I once thought love was for fools
For broken hearts and broken rules
I was so wrong, for so long
We're pulling over to the side of the road,
Decide if it's love or just an overload
Girl I need to know, ohh I gotta know
No more lonely nights searching for this feeling
Lovelight's burning in your eyes

We will remember this first night forever
After all the songs fade away
And the stage fades to gray
And we will remember this first night together
We'll recall the things that we said
All the foolish dreams in our head
On the night we met
I'm searching your eyes
Have I seen you somewhere
You're filling my thoughts with a strange intrigue
I rivet my glance to your every movement
I got a notion your love's in a whole different league
Tell me your name, what's your persuasion
Your first impression of this whole occasion
*And this night shall be the first night
And first nights were made for love
I can taste the action in the air tonight
Hearts are poundin' as the sparks ignite
And this night shall be remembered
Long after the music's gone
And we'll reminisce on the things we said
And we'll fall in love again*
In the air I can sense a strong attraction
Emotions run wild--are we on the verge?
We got a hot-line to satisfaction
I got the answer if you got the urge
My motor is hot, I'm feeling elation
You came in the night with the right temptation
( * Repeat)
We will remember this first night forever
We'll recall the things that we said
All the foolish dreams in our head
( * Repeat)

We will remember this first night forever
After all the songs fade away
And the stage fades to gray
And we will remember this first night together
We'll recall the things that we said

And first nights were made for love
I can taste the action in the air tonight
Hearts are poundin' as the sparks ignite
And this night shall be remembered
Long after the music's gone
And we'll reminisce on the things we said
And we'll fall in love again*
In the air I can sense a strong attraction
Emotions run wild--are we on the verge?
We got a hot-line to satisfaction
I got the answer if you got the urge
My motor is hot, I'm feeling elation
You came in the night with the right temptation
( * Repeat)
We will remember this first night forever
We'll recall the things that we said
All the foolish dreams in our head
( * Repeat)

I live my life, in my own way
I've made my name, with ladies like you
I'm a fine red-blooded love machine
Shootin straight and talkin' mean
I leave em right on cue
Hey, but one thing you must realize
Even when you fantasize
My love is just a dead-end street
*Cause I'm freelance
Ooh, I need no company
I need a freehand
And that's the way it's gonna be
I'm freelance*

You've seen my kind, but you know I'm blind
To the rules of modern romance
I'm a full-tilt rocker to the max
Drivin' hard and livin' fast
Your heart won't stand a chance
So, so while you still can turn around
Before I bring the curtain down
Maybe you best find the door...

(* Repeat)
(* Repeat and fade)

This thing we call an existence, I stand here
Trying to make some sense of it all,
Each pathway offers resistance, I force a smile
But it's just not from the heart,
I'm wrong for the part --
And I work like a dog to get even, take my chances
And go on believin', though deep in my heart I dream
Of brakin' away

*Are we all livin' a half-life,
No point of dimension,
Trying to find our way,
Do we search in the dark,
You and I, livin' a half-life,
beyond our pretension,
We're much the same
We search for the spark*

Behind the smoke screen around me,
There beats a heart that is simple dreams that are mine --
We're only here for a moment, we try and capture the magic
Somehow in time, we make it all rhyme
And we work like a dog to get even, take our chances
And go on believin', though deep in our hearts we dream
Of breakin' the chains

(* Repeat)

And I work like a dog to get even,
Take my chances and go on believin'
Though deep in my heart I dream of breakin' away,

(* Repeat)

Here comes desire, I can spot it a mile away
She's on fire, I got the one thing to put out the flame
I got your number, give it up
I know you know that I'm on to you
No need to fight it, lay it down
Come feel the heat in my every move
This ain't no shot in the dark
I'll put it all on the line
Come down and tear me apart
Don't wait, hit me straight, right between the eyes

*Here comes desire
Here comes the thrill
You got me burnin'
Too hot, it's overkill
Bring on the fire
Turn up the heat
Here comes desire
Buildin' up inside of me
(Every time you're touchin' me)*

Midnight strangers, what's your action baby tell me your game
Love and danger, after midnight they're one and the same
You use your body like a gun
Don't take no chances, shoot to kill
I got you covered, give it up
I'll give you more than a moment's thrill
This ain't no shot in the dark
I'll put it all on the line
Come down and tear me apart
Don't wait, hit me straight, right between the eyes

( * Repeat)

Here comes desire,
I can spot it a mile away
She's on fire, I got the
one thing to put out the flame
This ain't no shot in the dark
I'll put it on the line
Come down and tear me apart
Don't wait, hit me straight,
right between the eyes

( * Repeat)

Like a vision standin' there,
Lips poutin', a come-on stare,
Come on -- I thought I had your number,
Workin' up an appetite for love,
Don't let me die of hunger,
Ain't ya got no heart,
No compassion for your lover,
When I get you on the floor, I find it's just another,

*Hesitation dance ?
you got me in a stone-cold trance
Hesitation dance
Go out and find another fool
For your game of chance*

Shut the door, draw the blinds,
Yeah baby gonna draw the lines,
Come on, I know your heart's on fire,
How could anyone who plays the part
And tastes so sweet wanna hide her heart away,
You're my main desire --
Ain't you got no heart --
No compassion for your lover,
When I get you on the floor,
I find it's just another

( * Repeat)

There you stood, that'll teach ya
To look so good and feel so right
Let me tell you 'bout the girl I met last night
It's understood, I had to reach ya
I let the wheel of fortune spin
I touched your hand before the crowd
Started crushin' in

Now I'm higher than a kite
I know I'm gettin' hooked on your love
Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat
Beggin' for your touch in the middle
Of the street and I...

I can't stop thinking 'bout you girl
I must be living in a fantasy world
I'm so high on you

Smart and coy, a little crazy
The kind of face that starts a fight
Let me tell you 'bout the girl I had last night
Piecin' eyes, like a raven
You seemed to share my secret sin
We were high before the night
Started kickin' in

Now I'm screamin' in the night
I know I'm gettin' hooked on your love
Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat
Beggin' for your touch in the middle
Of the street and I...

I can't stop thinking 'bout you girl
I must be living in a fantasy world
I've searched the whole world over
To find a heart so true
Such complete intoxication
I'm high on you

There you stood, that'll teach ya
To look so good and feel so right
Let me tell you 'bout the girl I met last night

Now I'm higher than a kite
I know I'm gettin' hooked on your love
Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat
Beggin' for your touch in the middle
Of the street and I...

I can't stop thinking 'bout you girl
I must be living in a fantasy world
I've searched the whole world over
To find a heart so true
Such complete intoxication
I'm high on you

I'm high on you
I'm high on you
I'm high on you

How can I tell you
To put it all in words
There is so much left to say
But the meaning slips away
How can I show you
To see it through my eyes
Don't deny that part of you
That's been dying for it too

(chorus)
--How do I know if I give you too much
Will I scare you away
How do I know when to leave you alone
When to beg you to stay
--I wanna know
Just how much love does it take
--to get to you
I stand here ready to break
--Tell me, tell me
--How much love does it take

Moment to moment
I don't know where it stands
Will I end up like the rest
Well it's anybody' guess
Can I persuade you
So softly in a touch
If it's all a waste of time
Well I'm only wasting mine

(chorus)

How do I know when to leave you alone
When to beg you to stay
--I wanna know

Just how much love does it take
To get to you
I stand here ready to break
Tell me, tell me
Just how much love does it take
It's up to you
I stand here ready to break
Tell me, tell me
Oh tell me, tell me
How much love does it take

There's a story in my eyes
Turn the pages of desire
Now it's time to trade
those dreams
For the rush of passion's fire
I can feel you tremble
when we touch
And I feel the hand of fate
Reaching out to both of us
I've been holding back the night
I've been searching for a
clue from you
I'm gonna try with all my might
To make this story line come true
Can ya feel me tremble
when we touch
Can ya feel the hand of fate
Reaching out to both of us
This love affair can't wait
I can't hold back
I'm on the edge
I can't hold back
You voice explodes inside my head
I can't hold back
I won't back down
Girl it's too late to
turn back now
Another shooting star goes by
And in the night the silence
speaks to you and I
And now the time has come at last
Don't let the moment run too fast
I can feel you tremble

And I feel the hand of fate
reaching out to both of us

From a distance I can see, the picture looks so clear to me --
It's a vantage point so few can hope to find,
And patience held the key, our love our only guarantee,
Our destiny to make it through the night
Through the tears and through the pain,
This house was built to stand the strain,
Through harder times I surely can't recall,
And crazy as it seems, through all we had were crazy dreams,
Those hungry years I'll miss the most of all --

*Now at last, we fall together,
We've been through it all together --
Ooh, I never stopped lovin' you
When the money was short
And dreams were shattered
Faith in love was all
That pulled us through
I never stopped lovin' you*

I've stumbled on the way, so many nights love went astray --
At different times we each played separate fools,
But love became our pride, when once we'd seen the other side --
Every highway led me back to you
Through the wind and through the rain,
This house was built to stand the strain
Though harder times I surely can't recall

( * Repeat)

From a distance I can see, The picture looks so clear to me,
A vantage point that only love can find

Every night,
a fleeting glimpse of candlelight
Chases 'cross the atmosphere
but you're not here
and I see the shape
of moonlight on the cityscape
But now the skyline wears a shroud
I hear your voice in every crowd

Listening for your footsteps in every hallway
Watching for your headlights around the bend
I can see you standing in every doorway

Out in the street,
in every glance
I see your reflection,
I fall in a trance
You can't know what you have done
I see you in everyone, in everyone

In the night I see your eyes
From every direction a different disguise
Can't you see what I've become
It's making me crazy, I see you in everyone*
Day by day, I watch the memories slip away
And traces of reality come back to me
Then I see your face, somewhere in a distant place
The fantasy has gone too far --
I close my eyes and there you are
I can see you standing in every doorway
I can feel your heartbeat -- I hear your voice
And hiding in my shadow you're with me always

Teardrops, falling from your eyes like raindrops,
Pouring from the skies,
Remember, you used to have the love I needed, back when we were young
Lovin' always came so easy, heaven shared our love,
Magic, the first time that I held you, you fit like a glove.
You'd soothe me, with a shrug of your heart you could move me,
It always seemed my love would find you, when you needed a friend
I would be the man who would understand you,

*But I'm not that man anymore,
And I'm not gonna throw my heart away,
No, that's not me anymore,
Baby I've changed. *

One look is all it took to tell me your love was made of lies,
Madness to think that I believed your reasons, your alibis,
The day girl, when I turned to look the other way girl,
I realized the game you were playin' was breakin' my heart,
I can see it plainly, time has changed me.

( * Repeat)

Sometimes alone at night I lie and wonder --
Was breaking up the only thing to do
We live our separate lives like perfect strangers,
But in the end, we're really perfect fools --
Maybe in time we'll shake the memories,
Maybe in time forget the pain --
But baby tonight, this heart remembers

*It doesn't have to be this way --
We don't need to live the lie anymore
I want you back, I'm holding on --
It doesn't have to be this way
Here we stand -- love's an open door,
It doesn't have to be this way*

With breakin' up there comes this empty feelin'
The child within you, lost without a prayer
So you run a little wild searching for some meaning
Deep into the streets of your despair
What does it take to shake your memory --
What in the world could ease the pain
How can I make your heart surrender

( * Repeat)
( * Repeat)

It's just another summer,
You hear a different drummer
You're looking for a way to check out from this grind
You wrestle with temptation,
Your job is sheer frustration
'Cause there's a lifetime chance you've yet to find
Still you wonder if you've got the clout
To make it happen in this cold-hearted town
And you're feelin' that you're trapped
You wonder should you just stop tryin'

Well take a message from the man
Who's not afraid to come on strong
When there's magic in the music
It's the singer not the song
When it's comin' from the heart
All the people sing along
It's the man behind the music
It's the singer not the song

Inside you heart is achin'
There's challenge for the taking
So shoot it from the hip
Believe in what you say
You're calling this your best fight
You're looking for the limelight
Reachin' for a star to guide you on your way

Well give the glory to the man
Who's not afraid to come on strong
When there's magic in the music
It's the singer not the song
When it's comin' from the heart
All the people sing along
It's the man behind the music
It's the singer not the song

I've been waitin', tired of waitin'
For your song. your love song
Time just drags by anticipatin'
So much good love has come and gone
**And every minute
We spend apart is just time on my hands
It's breakin' my heart
Won't you please, please**

*Let it be now,
I can't wait forever no
Let it be now.
I need you today.
(girl)
Girl will you ever know
Let it be now*

I been hungry, so damn hungry
For your love, your sweet love
Are you teasing, me for a reason
Need to know, why so slow

(** Repeat)

Let it be now,
I can't wait forever no
Let it he now, I need you today

(** Repeat)
(* Repeat)

My love won't wait... (Repeat)

I've been waitin', tired of waitin'
For your song. your love song
Time just drags by anticipatin'
So much good love has come and gone
**And every minute
We spend apart is just time on my hands
It's breakin' my heart
Won't you please, please**

*Let it be now,
I can't wait forever no
Let it be now.
I need you today.
(girl)
Girl will you ever know
Let it be now*

I been hungry, so damn hungry
For your love, your sweet love
Are you teasing, me for a reason
Need to know, why so slow

(** Repeat)

Let it be now,
I can't wait forever no
Let it he now, I need you today

(** Repeat)
(* Repeat)

My love won't wait... (Repeat)

I tried to resist you in the beginning
Your fire was too hot to fight
You looked into me the flame shot through me
The victory is in sight tonight
*Love has got me, this I know
Love has got me, won't let go
Feel the fire in my soul
Love has got me, love has got me*

Don't let go

Baby be careful don't get me excited
I'm on a mighty short fuse
The least indication will get me ignited
There's just no way to refuse tonight

( * Repeat)

As sure as the stars are shining
I thought I would never fall in love
I gave my life to freedom
But looks like love has got me now

(* Repeat)
(* Repeat)

Have you ever walked the night alone
Like a man against the world?
No one takes your side,
A boat against the tide.
When your faith is shaken,
You start to break,
And your heart can't find the words.
Tossed upon the sand,
I give you a man against the world.

All the people cheer till the end is near
Then the hero takes a fall.
They'll drag you through the mud.
You're only flesh and blood.
Oh I've walked the path from dark to light
And have yet to come to terms.
Alone I take my stand,
I'm only a man against the world.

*But love!
Like a distant reminder,
It tugs at my shoulder,
It calls me home.
I shout!
Can a single voice carry?
Can I find santuary,
Within your arms?
One day when the answer's clearer,
One day when I even the score,
You'll reach and you'll find me with you,
Right beside you,
Forever more!

But for now I walk the night alone,
Like a man against the world.
A brand new day will shine,
Through the avalanche of time.
Though the road is long,
But the feeling's strong,
And the fire within still burns.
Alone I take my stand,
I give you a man against the world.

(from your love)

In this room
With the light of the sun in my eyes
I am blind
Can't recall
Where I am or what I did last night
Though I try and I try
*nothing can shake me from your love
It's true
No one can make me feel the things you do
Oh no, oh no*

In the street
In the street I can feel people stare,
Stare me down
I'm lookin' back
Just to see if I lost you somewhere
But you're nowhere around

(*repeat)

Turnin' over the city,


Just searchin for you
Ravin like a mad man
Is there anybody left,
In this whole damn town
To take pity on a sad man
Lord help me through this
Yeah, help me through this
I just can't make it this way
Please help me find her
Yeah help me find her
Somewhere, somehow, someway

In the night
With the moon and the stars high above
I can see
It's so strange
Though there's no rhyme or reason for love
Still it makes you it's slave

( * repeat)

Oh no. ... ( repeat and fade)

When she walks in the room, every eye in the place
Turns to follow her every move
She's arrived on the scene in her diamonds and jeans
World class -- she's got nothing to prove
It takes a long time to know her, whe gives it up a little at a time

*She's gettin' what she wants
She's a popular girl
Settin' those hearts on fire
Everybody wants to be
Part of her world
She's a popular girl
Such a popular girl*

She walks down the street, knocks 'em dead on their feet
With a casual nonchalance
When she's breaking your heart, she's the state of the art
With license to take what she wants
It takes a hard man to hold her, she likes to get a little out of line

( * Repeat)

She waits by the window, the world is her stage
Each smile is her mirror in the passing parade, passing parade
And in the end, all she'll be is your friend
Though passion's your lone desire, she's the one you can't touch,
You want her so much, you're burnin', your heart's on fire
It takes a hard man to hold her, the challenge is forever on my mind

( * Repeat)

Dead on my feet -- got a deadline to meet,
But it can wait -- can't concentrate --
This one-track mind won't leave you behind
Why punish me with memories
If only now I could turn back the pages --
I played some games that I've lived to regret,
I only wish I had gone through those stages --
Years before we met --
But I know

*This time --
I'm ready for the real thing,
Last Time --
I couldn't be true,
This time --
I'm ready for the real thing too*

Turn on the light, I've been tossing all night,
I try to read but it's love that I need --
In my mind -- the sound of goodbye,
Keeps hauntin' me like a distant dream --
If only now I could turn back the pages --
I played some games that I've lived to regret,
I only wish I had gone through those changes
Years before we met --
And baby

( * Repeat)

This time --
I'm ready for the real thing,
Last time --
I couldn't be true,
This time --
Get ready for the real thing,
Cause this time baby --
I'm ready for you

You're still young, still so sure
So determined you can find a cure
You've always been the driven one
Speak your mind, rebel son
In your eyes, wildfires rage
You read between the lines of every page
Take your chances while you're young
Seek the truth, rebel son
Shatter the silence
Fill the night with your righteous defiance
While you've still got the will to run

Take your message to the streets tonight -- rebel son
There's a restless voice that's callin' you
Through the darkest night -- fight the fight -- rebel son
To yourself alone you must be true
Rebel son

Stand your ground, against the tide
The proof of history is on your side
Fight the cause for everyone
Dare to dream -- rebel son
Shatter the silence
Fill the night with your righteous defiance
While you've still got the will to run

Take your message to the streets tonight -- rebel son
There's a restless voice that's callin' you
Through the darkest night -- fight the fight -- rebel son
To yourself alone you must be true
Rebel son

In the dark, thunder in your heart
Can't you hear the sound and fury in the night
Feel the heat, risin' from the street
Passion runs so deep
To match the fire in your eyes

Take your message to the streets tonight -- rebel son
There's a restless voice that's callin' you
Through the darkest night -- fight the fight -- rebel son
To yourself alone you must be true

In the dark, thunder in your heart
Can't you hear the sound and fury in the night
Feel the heat, rising from the street
Passion runs so deep
To match the fire in your eyes

( * Repeat)

The news is out, it's hot on the street
It's down to the wire, it's back to the beat
As the sun goes West there's change in the wind
Hear the rhythm of hearts as the night rushes in
Feel the temperature rise to a fever pitch
And the city will hold back its power
Then the rhythm explodes as the hour strikes

*Midnight, my love is alive
Can't you feel the heat
Of emotions taking over
Midnight, my love will survive
Can't you feel the rhythm
I can feel the rhythm of the city*

The night draws near, the street lights reveal
A whole world beyond this concrete and steel
Let me feel your touch in the midnight wind
In the traffic of hearts as the night rushes in
Feel the temperature rise to a fever pitch
And the city will hold back its power
Then the rhythm explodes as the hour strikes

(* Repeat)

Come on baby turn out the lights
Let me move you to the rhythm tonight
Feel it building to my every beat
Keep me comin' 'til I'm back on the street and it's

(* Repeat)

The news is out, it's hot on the street
It's down to the wire, it's back to the beat
As the sun goes West there's change in the wind

And the city will hold back its power
Then the rhythm explodes as the hour strikes

*Midnight, my love is alive

Let me move you to the rhythm tonight
Feel it building to my every beat
Keep me comin' 'til I'm back on the street and it's

(* Repeat)

When the wind decides that it's time to ride,
To spread a little hell through the heartland,
It takes a good long toke then it blows the smoke
Through the desert night ?
And the wings of fire ?
Keep climbin' higher,
See the flames cuttin' hard through the homeland,
It takes a mighty strong will to strip the chill from the desert night --
You're wakened from your dream by a siren's scream,
Trapped by the walls that surround you --
Then it's will to will, and you wonder still can you struggle free?
In a thousand ways, when you turn the phrase,
The wind's like a love of a woman ?
It takes a mighty mean bitch --
Some fire witch --
To set the night on fire

And the Santa Ana wind's gonna have its way tonight
Nothing you can do's gonna change her mind ?
And ain't it a lot like love the way desire takes you in ?
And stokes the fire like the Santa Ana wind

Now the air is calm, and the heart grows numb,
The ashes burn low in the heartland,
'Til again the wind starts closin' in to set the night on fire

And the Santa Ana wind's blowin' cross my heart tonight
Nothing you can do's gonna change her mind --
And woman I want your love --
I need that passion deep within,
Like the ragin' fire needs the Santa Ana wind

And the Santa Ana wind's gonna take your life tonight
Nothing you can do's gonna change her mind --
And ain't it a lot like love
The way desire takes you in --
Swept away with the Santa Ana wind

Silver Girl

Silver girl, stay until tomorrow
Take my heart away with just a single kiss
Silver girl, the world outside our window
Somehow fades away at moments like this
While tonight in the city street the people rush by
You and I are taking our time, precious time

Won't you lay with me (stay with me) one moment more
I couldn't bear to see you walk out that door
Stay with me (stay with me) be my one in the world
For just one golden moment, my silver girl

The silver moon holds us in it's power
With a magic that I'm not prepared to fight
With all my strength I've been holding back the hour
Lie beside me now if just for one night
Far below, in the city street the people rush by
You and I are taking our time, precious time

Won't you lay with me (stay with me) one moment more
I couldn't bear to see you walk out that door
Stay with me (stay with me) be my one in the world
For just one golden moment, my silver girl

Won't you lay with me (stay with me) one moment more
I couldn't bear to see you walk out that door
Stay with me (stay with me) be my one in the world
My silver girl
Won't you stay with me (stay with me) one moment more
I couldn't bear to see you walk out that door
Stay with me (stay with me) be my one in the world
My silver girl

The word is out -- heads are talkin'
And just like a fire ragin' wild in the night,
The rumors hot, the room is rockin',
It's out of control, too vicious to fight
Two lovers split -- a heart is shattered
And out of revenge it steals through the night,
Making sure the lies are scattered
To every border of this town tonight

The word's on the street, you call it truth,
I call it slander,
Times are tough, talk is cheap --
Soon they'll talk about you --
Slander

The jury splits -- undecided,
They're searching for clues,
My live in their hands
The hour has come, they stand divided,
The future shall judge the good and the bad

And now, there's talk on the street --
I call it slander,
I will fight this somehow
Revenge will be sweet
Slander -- like a knife in my heart --
Slander
Slander -- gonna keep us apart --
Slander
Slander ? there's talk on the street
Slander -- revenge will be sweet
Slander -- I'm ready to fight
Slander -- I will find it tonight
Slander -- like a knife in my heart --
Slander
Slander -- gonna keep us apart
Slander
Slander -- there's talk on the street --
Slander -- revenge will be sweet
Slander -- too vicious to fight
Slander -- wild in the night

Somewhere...
**Hey girl. help me if you can
I'm coming to you with my heart in my hand
Give me love, I'm starved for affection
All I need is just a little direction**

* Wow
Somewhere in America,
somewhere cross the sea
Somewhere in America,
she waits for me*

I need a teacher who can use a pet
Give me a lesson in etiquette
If there is anyone who'd like to try
Maybe she'd like to come and teach me tonight

(* Repeat)

Same old story, same old song and dance
What good is the glory, if you can't find romance
I know she is waiting
Ooh, somewhere in the heartland
And if she's out there tonight
I wish she would raise her hand

(**Repeat)
(*Repeat)

Somewhere in America....

When you're alone you ask yourself
What are you searching for
Deep in the night a dream is born
One that you can't ignore
If you think you can find the passion
And you're ready to take a chance
If you really believe you can make it
Then the power is in your own hands

It's the moment of truth
You're giving it all
Standing alone, willing to fall
If you can do it
Get up and prove it
Get up and show them who you are
It's the moment of truth
It's all on the line
This is the place
This is the time
Waited forever, it's now or it's never
Nothing can stop you now

Once in your life you make a choice
Ready to risk it all
Deep in your soul you hear a voice
Answering to the call
Though you know that it won't be easy
It's a promise you make for love
For the people tat keep believing
And the one that you're thinking of

Chorus

I know your mind like the back of my hand,
A race that I ran before,
Are you so blind that you'd turn your back
On love and slam the door,
If you're searching for something more,
Have a good time,
But if you'd follow your heart,
You're gonna find that I'm...

*The one, the one,
The one that really matters,
The one that really cares,
The one, when your whole world is shattered,
Snap your fingers and I'll be there.*

There's someone new,
He's your brand new toy,
You could break that poor boy in two,
If that's your style,
I should have known from the start,
This heart wants no part of you,
But if you're still the same girl I knew,
All in good time,
You're gonna follow your heart,
And you're gonna find I'm still...

( * Repeat)

How can I convince you what you see is real
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel
I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you

I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever, the search is over
You were with me all the while

Can we last forever, will we fall apart
At times it's so confusing, these questions of the heart
You followed me through changes, and patiently you'd wait
Till I came to my senses, through some miracle of fate

Chorus

Now the miles stretch out behind me
Loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie victims of the game
Then good luck, it finally struck
Like lightning from the blue
Every highway leading me back to you
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle
Our destines are one
So if you ever loved me, show me that you give a damn
You'll know for certain the man I reall am

Chorus

How can I convince you what you see is real
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel
I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you

I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever, the search is over
You were with me all the while

Can we last forever, will we fall apart
At times it's so confusing, these questions of the heart
You followed me through changes, and patiently you'd wait
Till I came to my senses, through some miracle of fate

Chorus

Now the miles stretch out behind me
Loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie victims of the game
Then good luck, it finally struck
Like lightning from the blue
Every highway leading me back to you
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle
Our destines are one
So if you ever loved me, show me that you give a damn
You'll know for certain the man I reall am

Chorus

How can I convince you what you see is real
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel

Chorus

Sweat rollin' down my hands and face
Big fan on the screen porch turnin'
Cat looking for a hidin' place
Sun sinkin' but the fire's still burnin'
Music playing a few doors down,
I'm drawn to the sound
It's just too hot to sleep
I walk restless to the street cafe
See that's shakin' in the tropic zone
A cold Corona and a twist of lime
Cools me down when I'm alone
Movin' closer from across the room
I've seen her before and she looks so fine
Never wanted any woman more
I look at the door and she reads my mind

*Too hot to sleep
Give up the fight
Throw back the sheets
Shoot out the lights
Too hot to sleep
Come take me higher
Caught up in the heart
Of the moment's fire*

Still burnin' in the afterglow
Sun peekin' through mirrored glasses
A little groggy from the night before
Feelin' wired as the day advances
Can't seem to keep my mind off you
It's just no use -- it's blind desire
I wanna know that I can count on you
To throw a little gasoline on the fire

( * Repeat)

Just like a breath of spring,
you came to me
And I'd tried to win you back
Since I've set you free
**("Will you break the rules?")
If I gotta
("Will you play the fool?")
Every time**

*And I'll do whatever it takes
And whatever the stakes
I will play, no, gonna get you someday*

Seems you don't realize,
what you've got till it's gone
And if you just close your eyes,
it won't be too long
Till the one you love,
Starts to leave you
Till she finds her way,
out the door

(*Repeat)

Down on the boulevard
Searchin so hard just to find you
The movie stars in the sidewalk squares
seem to stare and remind you

(**Repeat)
(*Repeat)

And I'll do whatever I can
Just to See you again
Night and day,
if that's what it takes
To see you again

If that's what it takes.
To see you again… (Repeat and fade)
