"My Love Is Alive"

   
(Gary Wright)

Well I think it's time to get ready
To realize just what I found
I have lived unaware of what I am
It's all clear to me now, that

My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive, my love is alive

Well there's something inside
That's makin' me crazy
Tryin' to keep it together
Cause what I'm saying, I have been saving
And now could be forever

My love is alive, my heart's on fire
Soul is like a wheel, like a hot wire
My love is alive, my heart's on fire
Soul's like a wheel, like a hot wire

There's a mirror inside my mind
Reflectin' the light that shines on me
Hold on to the feeling
Let it be, let it grow
My heart is on fire, my love is alive

Fire in my heart, soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive...

"Eye To Eye"

   
(Michael Sembello, John Sembello, Dan Sembello and Don Freeman)

I'm in the mood to end these empty days
Ever when I - you stare down - romancin'
Everytime I see your face - hopeless - colder than ice
With no more flame
I think our love has reached the part of no return
It's so sad when lovers don't see

Eye to eye - a look says everything
Eye to eye - so close, so far away

That distant look is all you've got to say
Everytime I try to talk to you
Every word is lost in space
Drifting further apart in every way
We've come to be the ones that love is out of sight
It's so clear that we just don't see

Eye to eye - a look says everything
Eye to eye - so close, so far away

There's no reason for this heartache
To go on and on, when the feeling's gone
I can say now, that it's to late
To try and change your mind

Eye to eye - a look says everything
Eye to eye - so close, so far away

"La Flamme"

   
(Philippe Saisse, Rhoda Roberts and Chaka Khan)

(Back to me)

Lovers walk off on each other
Brothers go their separate ways
You wake up somewhere in the middle
Wonderin' why nobody stays

You are a child of wild desires
When you're innocence leaves, yeah
Why you wanna play with fire
Here I am, here I am

J' m'appel La Flamme (§  c'est mon nom)
Set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Let me take you home
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything
Tonight
(What, what, what, what'cha gonna do for me)

You thought her love was too good
But she's the reason for your pain
But hey I'm gonna make you happy
I'll never let you hurt again
Almost killed you with her honesty
Back when you innocently stayed
Why you wanna play with fire
Here I am, here I am

J' m'appel La Flamme (§  c'est mon nom)
Set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Let me take you home
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything
(Ain't, ain't, ain't nobody) Tonight

J' m'appel La Flamme (§  c'est mon nom)
Oh, set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Let me take you home
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything
Tonight

Tonight, make it happen for real
Make your fantasies happy, completely
Come stay with me, stay with me

J' m'appel La Flamme (§  c'est mon nom)
Set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Let me take you home
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything
Tonight

J' m'appel La Flamme (§  c'est mon nom)
Set off your alarm (ooh se coir)
Won't you take me home
Bet'cha I'll take care of everything tonight
J' m'appel La Flamme (§  c'est mon nom)
My nomme is Chaka Khan
Won't you take me home
Bet'cha I'll, I'll take care of everything

[French Lyric Translations:]
J' m'appel La Flamme / My name is The Flame
Ooh ce soir / Ooh tonight
‡  c'est mon nomme / That's my name

"Hold Her"

   
(David "Hawk" Wolinski and James Newton Howard)

You gotta hold her now
Never leave her
Never let her go

You think you lost her number but you've only lost a little bit of time
She's waiting just to see you boy, a continental girl so fine
Mirrors on the ceiling make it hard for you to sleep at night
The opportunity is now
You know you got to do what's right

[Bridge:]
So, you take yourself down to her
Before it gets too late
There's no need to telephone
Cause this can hardly wait
The meaning of a moment has never been so strong
A girl like this, a night like this
It's right where you belong

[Chorus:]
You gotta hold her now
Never leave her
Tell her how
You're gonna love her, squeeze her
Hold her now
Never leave her again
Never leave her again
(don't you go)

She found you in a restaurant when you were with another girl
Remember?
You tried to tell her how it was just to live in a harmless world
Remember how she looked at you
Remember how she stole your eyes
And now you're all alone at night
Runnin' out of alibis

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

You've got to take your time
Take your time
Take your time whenever you see her
Save her every moment you can

With your every wonderful feeling
Let her know that you will be her man
Open arms are never too open
Lovin' hearts are never too free

Let the circle never be broken
Let it be what you want it to be

[Chorus]

Hold her now
Hold her now
Never let her go

"Through The Fire"

   
(David Foster, Tom Keane and Cynthia Weil)

I look in your eyes and I can see
We've loved so dangerously
You're not trusting your heart to anyone
You tell me you're gonna play it smart
We're through before we start
But I believe that we've only just begun

When it's this good, there's no saying no
I want you so, I'm ready to go

[Chorus:]
Through the fire
To the limit, to the wall
For a chance to be with you
I'd gladly risk it all
Through the fire
Through whatever, come what may
For a chance at loving you
I'd take it all the way
Right down to the wire
Even through the fire

I know you're afraid of what you feel
You still need time to heal
And I can help if you'll only let me try
You touch me and something in me knew
What I could have with you
Well I'm not ready to kiss that dream goodbye

When it's this sweet, there's no saying no
I need you so, I'm ready to go

[Chorus]

Through the test of time

[Chorus]

Through the fire, to the limit
Through the fire, through whatever
Through the fire, to the limit
Through the fire, through whatever

"Caught In The Act"

   
(Joe Mardin and Alec Milstein)

Suspicions rising, answers aren't clear
I thought we made a promise, now you've disappeared
You seem to lead two lives at a time
Do I still fit in, I thought you were mine
Sitting at the bar in our favorite cafe
I turn and see ya laughin' with her and your smile fades away
Didn't surprise me, there's nothin' left to say
I caught you red-handed now and you can't walk away

[Chorus:]
You were caught in the act
When you thought I wasn't lookin' at ya
C.I.T.A., I can see what you're doin'
Caught in the act, and I can't stand to hear your lies
Caught in the act, don't you try and change my mind

You called me the only, you said, "she's only a friend"
Don't pretend you're sorry, my heart will mend
Don't you come back to me, don't you try to call
You couldn't hold my heart with love, now you can't hold me at all

[Chorus]

Caught in the act, caught in the act
Caught in the act, C.I.T.A.
Caught in the act, caught in the act
Caught in the act, C.I.T.A.

"Chinatown"

   
(Phillippe Saisse, Rhoda Roberts and Chaka Khan)

Yin yang
A feeling's evolving through me
Sweet and sour
Is the taste you bring

When I said goodbye, you loved me
When I turned to you, you turned away
When I was so gung-ho
He said 'let me go'

He begged me to stay, stay, stay
If I try to find out what's on your mind
I'll find out in Chinatown

[Chorus:]
Chinatown
I don't know how to read you
Upside down
The signs will all mislead you
Like this town
You're such a mystery to me
Chinatown
I don't know how to read you
Upside down
The signs will all mislead you

I'll track you down
And you'll go crazy for me
So much smoke I can't get through to you
Eyes that I can't see

They stare me down
Here I'm chasin' you
Some crazy Fu Manchu
And it feels so wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

When I try to find out what's on your mind
I'll find out in Chinatown

[Chorus]

"Love Of A Lifetime"

   
(Green Gartside and David Gamson)

Love of a lifetime

Good for you (heart of change)
Got to be the heart of change
Good for me - a heart of change
I know we'll get it better
Stir it up (got to be)
Stir it tender heartedly
Stir it and
The whole world's gettin' better

[Bridge:]
I believe the world to be
Fast and ever changing
That's the way my love will be
Got to last and satisfy me

[Chorus:]
You got the love of a lifetime
You're such a rock steady lover, baby
Keep up the good love for Chaka
You can hold it, boy
'Cause you don't let it go

Good for you
Good for me
The way we work together
Short and sweet (hit and run)
I know where you're comin' from
We can steal
And baby, we'll hit and run together

[Bridge]

We got the love of a lifetime
Ooh, we're such rock steady lovers, baby
Keep up the good love together
We can hold it, boy
And never let it go

We got the love of a lifetime
We got to keep on rockin' steady
I really think I'm ready now
Baby, I'm burnin', burnin', burnin'

You got the love of a lifetime
You're such a rock steady lover, baby
Keep up the good love for Chaka
You can hold it, boy, never let it go
We got the love of a lifetime
Ooh, we're such rock steady lovers, baby
Keep up the good love together
Hold it, boy

Love of a lifetime

(Love of a lifetime)
We got the love, we got the love
We got the love
Guess it's just a heart of change
We got the love, we got the love
We got the love
It's got to be a heart of change
We got the love, we got the love...

"Earth To Mickey"

   
(Charlie Singleton)

Come along let's park (let's park)
Can't you see what's going on
Come along gotta get with it
You're space bound and going strong

And he said
Come along lets rock
Shake your body don't stop
Cause i'm never out of fuel
You're good at talkin'
But at listenin' you ain't so cool
So you better get with it baby

[Chorus:]
Earth to Mickey
When are you gonna land?
Earth to Mickey
When are you gonna land?

(Why can't you just come on down,
Down to my level here)

Tonight i'm watchin' you
And you wouldn't understand
How could you ever get so spaced out
And never ever land
I just wanna tell you
You're outta your mind
It'll take a little time
But I bet I can talk you down
There are unnurtured treasure
Right here on solid ground
So you better get with it baby

[Chorus]

(Hear me talkin' to ya mickey)

[Mickey's rap:]
Excuse me but it's hard to hear
Cause i'm way up in the stratosphere
I caught your drift
But i still don't see
I changed my long distance company recently
I'm not a guy that's kinda shy
I gotta get home before my goldfish die
My friends say i caught your eye
They say you like the way i tie my tie
I don't know why you wanna stare
Don't touch...i just combed my hair
(push)
Please talk me down
Where's the ground?

Hold on you better slow down
You might be 'fore your time
I think you got kicked out
From the white school of bump and grind
Mickey come along let's walk
Can we have a little talk?
You've been busted in mid-flight
Whenever you're puzzled you just
Put on your big red light

[Chaka's rap:]
You know i know what they mean now
When they say that you're all dressed up
And nowhere to go
Mickey really i been tryin to talk to you
All night i've been lookin at you
And lookin at you
And tryin to talk and talk
But you just don't listen
You're on some eternal flight
I just can't seem to make you make sense
Mickey, Mickey

[Chorus]

[Ad lib to fade]
