Say You Really Want Me

Why you always got to be so cool
And why I always got to play your fool
You dont really know what lifes about
Baby come and let your feelings out

Say you really want me
Dont keep it to yourself
Say you really need me
Just me and no one else
Say you really love me
Ooh let me know its true
Say you really want me
The way that I want you tonight

You dont know a thing about romance
Deep inside youre scared to take the chance
cos love like this may never come again
Make your move or Ill be in the wind

I need somebody through the thick and the thin
cos I know the problems of today
The time is over now for playing those games
Lets take it all the way

Schoolgirl

Its something else to see the way youre growing
From a sweet little baby to a grown up girl
And I pray though darlin Ive no way to knowing
That youll discover a beautiful world

As you skip down the street
And hold your books so tightly
Tell me what are you learning in your abc
Are you dreaming off all the many things you might be
You know that were just waiting to see

Schoolgirl
Youre such an inspiration
Schoolgirl
And youre as fresh as the breeze
Youve got the whole world
Just waiting for you
Youre really something, something to see

Its easy to worry in a world of trouble
When theres nothing but bad news
Trying to bring you down
But life doesnt have to be unuphill struggle
Theres still some wonderful things to be found

There is sadness and confusion in our hearts
And the world prepares to fight
As it tears itself apart - it isnt fair

She Hasn’t Got Time For You

I heard youre out on your own
Guess its strange now youre living without love
Youd think all those years
Would mean something
But its over shes had enough
Dont you know its always hard at the start . . .
To change
When you look round and someones broken your heart
Afraid to fall in love

She hasnt got time for you
But dont be afraid to fall in love
I think you knew from the start
She would break up your heart
She hasnt got time for you
But honey dont be afraid to fall
Just take a look in my eyes
Come and give it a try

So now shes out on her own
Talking cheap and laughing about your love
The whispers you hear should tell you something
Cos its over and shes playing rough
Could have told you such a long time ago
You wouldnt listen cos you dont want to know
That she was bad from the start
And now shes breaking your heart

The Thrill Of It

Thinking about what a friend just said
You know nothing good comes easy
You took the thought right from my head
You only seem to tease me

Then you turn - it on again
Then you turn - me on again
Then I learn the answers
To all my questions
Now somethings taking over

Its the thrill of it, the thrill of it
Its the thrill of it - turn me on
Its the thrill of it
Can you feel it
The thrill of it
Its taking me over

Now what am I supposed to do
You know it cant go on much longer
Everytime when Im near you
You know the feelings so much stronger

Then you turn - it on again
Then you turn - me on again
Then I learn the answers
To all my questions
Now somethings taking over

Victim

Back in my younger days
Decided to break away
Get out the door find a place to stay
The folks took it bad you see
The pride in the family
Guess they expected a nurse some day

But we were out there and gunnin
Fuelled up and runnin
Out on the highway
Looking for something
Your crazy world does nothing for us
And if we shout you just ignore us
So no more push and shove
The victims of your love

It was back in my younger days
Decided to break away
Get out the door find a place to stay

Cos we were out there and gunnin
Fuelled up and runnin
Lost on the highway
Looking for something
Your crazy world does nothing for us
And if we shout you just ignore us
So no more push and shove
The victims of your love

But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again

But your heart and soul needs to be free
And now that youve got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me
You dont want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else

Why dont cha be a man about it and set me free
Now you dont care a thing about me
Youre just using me - hey, abusing me
Get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
cos you dont really love me
You just keep me hanginon
You dont really need me
You just keep me - hanginon

Close (1988)

European Soul

I want to tell you of a place that I recall
Where youre drawn by the seduction
And the beauty of it all
You can step into another world
Of poetry and dreams
In a land of mystery
Images dance, translucent colours seem to shine
Theyre a ghostly recollection
Of another space and time
I imagine I can hear their voices calling me
To the land of mystery

Where the russian heart is strong
Like the beating of a drum
Where the magic lingers on
And the fight for thruth is won
Deep in the european soul

And loves eternal flame was burning deep inside
It was the purest inspiration
That he never tried to hide
When you see the lovers floating
You can almost hear them sigh
As you watch them dancing
Up into the sky

The worlds realities are not to be denied
But must we keep destroying all our fantasies
Its hard to look beyond when terror fills our eyes
We mustnt give up trying to let our dreams survive

I touch the paintings with the fingers of my heart
Like a supernatural love affair thats just about to start
But therell always be the hidden dreams Ill never see
In the land of mystery

Four Letter Word

I tell ya
Its hell yeah
When love says goodbye its a four letter word
Because your heart knows
When love goes
The feeling is bad - its the pits of the world
Its sad but true
When nothing you can do, can bring it back

Standing in the rain
She starts to cry
Is it all a game
She wonders why
Why it had to start
Why should it end, and take her apart

Because she shows it
She knows it
But what can she do, its a four letter word
Because it shakes you
It breaks you
And when its the end, its the worst thing you heard
Its over now
And nothing you can do can bring it back

Calling out his name
She starts to cry
Guys are all the same
She wants to die
Hide away the tears
No-one will see, and no-one must hear
But oh

How can the love that she has be profain
And how can something thats so beautiful
Just jeckyl and hyde around
Its so sad...

I tell ya
Its hell yeah
When love says goodbye
Its a four letter word
Because your heart knows
When love goes
The feeling is bad
Its the worst in the world
Its sad but true
When nothing you can do, can get it back

Standing in the rain
She starts to cry
Shouting out is name
Four letter words

Love In The Natural Way

Well it sounded like a whisper
But soon became a cry
And the moment that I touch you
I know the reason why - we got love
No union is stronger than a woman with a man
Im gonna give love in the natural way
With everything I can
Never mind if things go wrong
You and I will still be strong
And how I love you now

Oh baby, were here tonight
We can make it last forever
Wen can make it last for life
Oh, baby, no matter what
Im gonna give love in the natural way
With everything I got

All times it can be gentle
And at times it can be cruel
It can treat you like a stranger
It can treat you like a fool
But tonight I wanna hold you
Cos tonight youre gonna see
Im gonna give you love in the natural way
And keep you here with me
Lovin like youve never known
Now at last were on our own
And I still love you now

Oh, baby, were here tonight
We can make it last forever
We can make it last for life
Oh, babe, its me and you
And its a natural reaction
When you feel the way we do
What is left thats still unknown
Lets discover on our own

Cos when loves the culmination
Of everything you feel
Well its the only thing thats precious
Its the only thing thats real
