Better be good to me

A prisoner of your love
Entangled in your web
Hot whispers in the night
I'm captured by your spell
Oh yes I'm touched by this show of emotion
Should I be fractured by your lack of devotion
Should I, should I?

You better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
Cause I don't have no use
For what you losely call the truth
You better be good to me

I think it's also right
That we don't need to fight
We stand face to face
And you present your case
And I know you keep telling me that you love me
And I really do wanna believe
But did you think I'd just accept you in blind faith
Oh sure babe, anything to please you

You better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
Cause I don't have the time
For your over loaded lines
You better be good to me

And I really don't see
why it's so hard to be good to me
And I don't understand
what's your plan that you can't be good to me
What I can't feel I surely cannot see,
why can't you be good to me
And if it's not real I do not wish to see,
why can't you be good to me

It takes two

One can have a dream baby
Two can make a dream so real
One can talk about living love
Two can see how it really feels
One can wish upon a star
Two can make a wish come true
One can stand alone in the dark
Two can make the light shine through

It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two

One can have a broken heart
Living in misery
Two can really ease the pain
That's a perfect remedy
One can be alone in a bar
Like an island here all alone
Two can make just any place
Seem just like being at home

It takes two baby
It takes two baby
Just me and you
You know it takes two

One can go out to the movies
Looking for a special treat
Two can make that scene in the movies
Something really kind of neat
One can take a walk in the moonlight
Thinking that it's really nice
But two lovers walking hand in hand
Is like adding just a pinch of spice

I can't stand the rain

I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Cause he ain't here with me

Hey window pain
Tell me, do you remember
How sweet it used to be

When we were together
Everything was so grand
Now that we've parted
There's just one sound
That I just can't stand

I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Cause he ain't here with me

Hey hey rain
Get out of my window
Cause he ain't here with me
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories

I don't wanna lose you

Women of a certain age
They learn to rely and judge all his responses
Having played the mating game
She doesn't waste time cause all that she wants is
Really honest emotions
Ones he can't help but show
Though I hardly know your name
I know about love and I know

I don't wanna lose you
I don't even wanna say goodbye
I just wanna hold on
To this true love, true love

Women who have made mistakes
Are a little affraid, they don't like taking chances
She will play the waiting game
She's never impressed by those manly advances
I know I've only just met you
Maybe I should know better
But when you look at me that way
There's something inside that's so right

I don't wanna lose you
I don't even wanna say goodbye
I just wanna hold on
To this true love, true love
I don't wanna lose you
And I always wanna feel this way
Cause everytime I'm with you
I feel true love, true love

Tell me you're real
You're not pretending
Let's make a deal
My heart's depending on you

(back to top)

I want you near me

Should you stay, should you go
You're beggining to see
I go hot, I go cold
It's just the devil in me
You've got to understand I am in love with a beautiful man
So if you're feeling insecure you've really no cause to be

I want you near me, don't you run away
I just got used to having you around
I want you near me, come on here and stay
Don't let me down

You're so good with your hands
To help me with a hook or a zip
Indispensable that's what you are
For the occasional kiss
I'm only playing games with you, I can't be nice without being cruel
I know it's not fair, but I make the rules

I want you near me, don't you run away
I just got used to having you around
I want you near me, come on here and stay
Don't let me down

All I want, I've decided
Is your attention undivided

I want you near, don't turn away
I want you near me, won't you stay

(back to top)

Let's stay together

Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is alright with me
You make me feel so brand new
I want to spend my whole life with you

Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, oh tell me, why do people break up
Turn around and make up
I just came to see
You'd never do that to me, would you baby?
Cause being around you is all I see

So baby let's we all stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Look me in the heart

Last night we tried to touch but we never got close
Last night we tried to talk, the words got caught in our throats
When we finally fell asleep
We couldn't have been further apart

Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby look me in the heart
And you'll see that I'm so crazy about you baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart
Look me in the heart

You try to say that I'm hiding from you
You act like a spy always looking for clues
You've read about my past
But why don't we try to make a new start

Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby look me in the heart
And you'll see that I'm so crazy about you baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart
Look me in the heart

Remember how good we used to be together
Remember baby, so be tender baby
Remember the love we said would last forever
I know we can make it like that again

Love thing

Saw you there, so confused
I knew that I could make my move now
Treading softly, I walked over you
We talked about this thing called love
Saw your eyes open wide
And I knew your heart was in it
Let me take you there
Let me take you there tonight

Get on board, get on my love thing
Gonna drive you wild
I wanna show you, I wanna hear you sing
Baby we got a love thing, right now

Close your eyes, follow me
I'll show you a world you've never been to
Take a ride in my love machine
And I won't do anything you can't get into
What I've got is what you need
And you won't do a thing about it
Let me take you there
Let me take you there tonight

Get on board, get on my love thing
Gonna drive you wild
I wanna show you, I wanna hear you sing
Baby we got a love thing, right now

I never want you to go
I alaways want you to stay
So come on baby, come on now

Nutbush city limits

A church house gin house
A school house outhouse
On highway number nineteen
The people keep the city clean
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits

Twenty-five for speed limit
Motorcicle not allowed in it
You go to store on Friday

And have a picnic on Labor Day
You go to town on Saturday
And go to church every Sunday

A little old town in Tennessee
A quiet little community
A one-horse town
You have to watch what you're putting down
In old Nutbush, oh Nutbush

Private dancer

All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names
You don't think of them as human
You don't think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do

I want to make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah, I guess I want a family
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do

Deutch marks or dollars
American Express will do nicely, thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me, do you wanna see me do the shimmy again?

River deep mountain high

When I was a little girl I had a rag doll
The only doll I've ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper let me say
And it gets higher day by day

Do I love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

When you were a young boy did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I'll never let you down
Cause it goes on and on like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby as it grows

Do I love you my oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby like a robin loves to sing
And I love you baby like a schoolboy loves his bag
And I love you baby river deep mountain high

Steamy windows

I was thinking about parking the other night
We was out on a back road
Me and my baby was just getting right
All our systems on overload
Radio blasting in the front seat
Turning out the music fine
And we was snuggled up in the back seat
Making up for lost time

Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat

You can wine and dine with a man all night
With good intent
But there is something about a confrontation on a back road
Breaks down the difference

Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat

Steamy windows
Ain't nobody can see
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
There's a sound outside the front door
And I know that's just the wind
And it makes him snuggle up just a little bit closer
And start things happening again

Steamy windows
Ain't nobody can see
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat

The best

I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire
You come to me, come to me wild and wild
When you come to me
Give me everything I need
Give me a lifetime promises and a world of dreams
Speak a language of love like you know what it means
And it can't be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong baby

You're simply the best, better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart, and hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby I would rather be dead

In your heart I see the star of every night and every day
In your eyes I get lost, I get washed away
Just as long as I'm here in your arms
I could be in no better place

You're simply the best, better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart, and hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, baby I would rather be dead

Each time you leave me I start losing control
You're walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I'm alone
Oh baby, don't let go

Typical male

Tell me lawyer what to do
I think I'm falling in love with you
Defend me from the way I feel
Won't you give me some advice
On how to handle my private life
I'm sure we can make a deal
I confess I'm a fool for men with a clever mind
But your intellect ain't no match with this heart of mine

All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male

Your sense of justice I'll embrace
But your defence don't help my case
I'm deep in trouble with the law
Something about authority
Seems to bring out the bad in me
Hey lawyer gotta catch me when I fall
Oh they say that you match your wits with the best of them
But I know when I'm close you're just like the rest of them

All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male

So put your books aside
Loosen off the suit and tie
Gotta open up your heart and let me in
Open up your heart and let me in

Way of the world

Baby, I need a hand to hold tonight
And one bright star to remind me
How dear is this life
And baby, I've never known anyone like you
There's something very special about you
I can't imagine living without you

It's the way of the world and its motion
And no ocean can keep us apart
When the moment is right and you're holding me tight
You capture the beat of my heart
In my heart there's s fire always burning
And there isn't a thing I can't do
I'm resigned to the fact that there's no turning back
And I'll never regret loving you

Baby, I will go anywhere you need
As long as you're there beside me
Baby, that's all I need
Hold me, hold me and never let me go
I'm always gonna care about you
I never wanna be without you


It's the way of the world and its motion
And no ocean can keep us apart
When the moment is right and you're holding me tight
You capture the beat of my heart
In my heart there's s fire always burning
And there isn't a thing I can't do
I'm resigned to the fact that there's no turning back
And I'll never regret loving you

You're everything I believe in
So don't ever lose the feeling
Don't ever lose the feeling

We don't need another hero (thunderdome)

Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can't make the same mistake this time
We are the children
the last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains

We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome

Looking for something we can rely on
There's got to be something better out there
Love and compassion, their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains
All the children say

We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome

What do we do with our lives
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a life
Or end in the dark
Give it all or nothing

What's love got to do with it

You must understand though the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposittes attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If a tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

What you get is what you see

Some boys got the look of a Greek Adonis
Some boys try to talk you off your feet
Some boys they're gods gift to woman
Some boys think they're sweet enough to eat
Try to change the habit of a lifetime
Don't even try
Cause when you cut down deeper than the icing
You realise

What you get is what you see
Ain't nothing more to it
And if you wanna love a woman like me
It takes a man to do it
If what you get is what you see
Then I don't want your kind of love

Some guys got lips that you can't help kissing
And some guys got a smile you can't resist
Some guys gotta build a reputation
They just wanna add you to the list
You got a lot of physical attraction
I can't deny
But can you guarantee me satisfaction
While I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting....

What you get is what you see
Ain't nothing more to it
And if you wanna love a woman like me
It takes a man to do it
If what you get is what you see
Then I don't want your kind of love

So let me see your cards on the table
Before I buy
I always read the writing on the label
So give me reason to believe there's more to you than meets the eye
