"Cross My Heart"

   
(Hamish Steward/Sharon Robinson)

You're like a child within
The one who just won't give in
Oh how you love to play
I wanna understand
I wanna do all I can
I wanna make you stay

Where will I find you
Next time I lose you
I'm just a fool for your touch

Cross my heart
I wanna love you
How can I love you
If you keep running away
Cross my heart
It's getting stronger
I can't wait much longer
You gotta stop running away

Your kisses are bittersweet
Alibies incomplete
I know what you didn't say
Now haven't you had your fun
Is anything left undone
Why can't we meet half way

When will you find out
Now that the truth's out
This is more than a careless romance

Cross my heart
I wanna love you
How can I love
If you keep running away
Cross my heart
It's getting stronger
I can't wait much longer
You gotta stop running away

True love is never quite enough
It's so unsure
Is it what you're dreaming of
Darling, it's time you let me in
Maybe tonight
We can start again

Cross my heart
I wanna love you
How can I love you
If you keep running away
Cross my heart
It's getting stronger
I can't wait much longer
You gotta stop running away

Cross my heart
It's getting stronger
I can't wait much longer
You gotta stop running away
Cross my heart
It's getting stronger
I can't wait much longer
You gotta stop running away

"It's Hard For Me To Say"

   
(Luther Vandross/John Anderson)

Didn't know 'till today
That you would love for me to say
All of the things I feel
Though you don't doubt they're real

Insecure, very shy
Are the only reasons I have why
I never say the things that
You would love to hear
All the words I try
Disappoint me and I cry
So they're words I don't often say

But it's in my love, it's in my feeling
It's in the very same heart
That loved you from the start
It's in my heat, it's in the spirit
And it's got me totally high
It's just hard me to say why

Kind of sad, kind of blue
Because I wanted to tell you
That you are in my heart
Though we are far apart
Didn't know how to say
All the little things to make you stay
And not to keep assuming
You could read my mind

You're the one I love
Though it's hard for you to know
'Cause the words I don't always say

But it's in my love, it's in my feeling
It's in the very same heart
That loved you from the start
It's in the heat, it's in the spirit
And it's got me totally high
It's just hard me to say why

It's hard for me

"Tell Me Again"

   
(Wintley Phipps)

You alone know how I feel down deep inside
I promised you I'll never stray from by your side
But now I'm looking back on all those yesterdays
The many times I let you down
I'm begging I can hear you say

Tell me again that you love me
And you'll love me till the stars fall from the sky
Tell me again that you love me
And the love you have for me will never die

I can tell when first we start to drift apart
The emptiness just takes hold of my wounded heart
You know I need to feel you by my side
'Cause when the night is cold and I've been so bold
There's no need to hide

Just tell me again that you love me
That you'll love me till the stars fall from the sky
Tell me again that you love me
And the love you have for me will never die

And if you light the way
I will follow you into that land of gladness
No more sadness

Tell me again that you love me
That you'll love me till the stars fall from the sky
Tell me again that you love me
And the love you have for me
The love you have for me will never die

"Workin' Overtime"

   
(Nile Rodgers/C. Max)

Workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Workin hard

Boy, you've got to think
What your priorities are really all about
It's such a crazy - world
We're on the brink
There'll be no turning back once we've set out
So much left to - do
And so little time
Just read the news to say today's headlines
One idea can last forever
And here's the only way that I can prove it

Workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Workin hard

Boy I found a way
To raise the level of my self esteem
When I was just a - girl
I learned how to say
I will be proud I see
A me that will always achieve
One idea can last forever
And here's the only way that I can prove it

Workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Workin hard

And when you want someone
I'll be there for you
And when you need someone - I'm dependable
When your world is falling apart
You can lean on me
And nothing will come between our hearts for all eternaty
One idea can last forever
And here's the only way that I can prove it

Workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Workin hard

Workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line
Hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime
Workin hard

"Say We Can"

   
(N. Rodgers/C. Block)

Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can

I'm the type who takes love literally
If it's there I take it to the max
So if this is a propositioning
I recommend you understand the facts

Are you just posing
As a dream
The silly games
That people scheme

Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can

I like romance to spell tomorrow
Just want a thrilll I'll read a book, yeah
So if it's a good time you're after
I suggest you take another look

Oh the things
We put ourselves through
So we can find out
Who should be with you

Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can

Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can

Listen, in my time I've seen them all
Go and come
Come and go

Listen, passing through revolving doors
Could it be
What I'm really waiting for

Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can

Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can

"Take The Bitter With The Sweet"

   
(P. Glass/S. Ray/S. Birch)

You, heard somebody sayin'
That I loved another (ooh ooh ooh)
They don't know, it's not easy fakin'
Lies about your lover (ooh ooh ooh)
Nothing they could tell you
Would change the way it feels
But when they, try to come between us
We still have each other (ooh ooh ooh)

I've heard it all, and I have my faults
But I could never hurt you, I love you through it all

Take the bitter with the sweet
Two hearts are stronger together
Love can be forever
Take the bitter with the sweet
We can't let rumors affect us
We just, have to trust

I, want you more than ever
No matter what they told you (ooh ooh ooh)
If they pry, doesn't really matter
Long as I can hold you (ooh ooh ooh)

People can say what they want to say
But you know that I love you, it's better every day

Take the bitter with the sweet
Two hearts are stronger together
Love can be forever
Take the bitter with the sweet
We can't let rumors affect us
We just, have to trust

"Bottom Line"

   
(P. Glass)

Na, na na na na na
Na, na na na na na na
Na, na na na... [repeat]

You say you're steady, 'n you're committed
But last night you weren't around when I needed you
You keep talkin', but I need action
This divided affection just won't do...

I hate to give you an ultimatum
But when I'm in love, I want it all the way...oh

Oh, that's the bottom line
If you really wanna keep my love
Can't be givin' up what's mine...(oh oh oh)
Oh, that's the bottom line
I can't settle for a part-time thing
Need your lovin' all the time...

No imitations, give me the real thing
Sugar-coated promises are not enough for me,
'Cause if you're fakin', don't be mistaken
I'll be out the door, before the count of three...

I hate to sound uncomprimising
But I'm never gonna play nobody's fool...

Oh, that's the bottom line
If you really wanna keep my love
Can't be givin' up what's mine...(oh oh oh)
Oh, that's the bottom line
I can't settle for a part-time thing
Need your lovin' all the time...

Na, na na na na na
Na, na na na na na na
Na, na na na... [repeat]

"This House"

   
(Nile Rodgers)

This house is built
On a foundation of love
This house is built
On a foundation of love

Our toys are in the attic baby
Pictures on the wall
We can see our memories
From the days past in the mirror
Down the hall, oh yeah

Our love will survive in our own little paradise
So inspired, so inspired
Palatial it may not be
But it's a home and a castle to me
A dream from a magazine
And we'll never give it up 'cause

This house is built
On a foundation of love
This house is built
On a foundation of love

I'll try to comfort you baby
You try to comfort me yeah
I know you love me
With all your heart, oh yeah
'Cause you say you do

You know that when you are sad
I'll be there in a flash
At the drop of a hat, oh yeah
'Cause I want you to feel love
And you don't have to say a thing
You don't have to ask, 'cause baby

This house is built
On a foundation of love
This house is built
On a foundation of love

Maybe we'll strike it rich
One day really make it big
And I know because our love is so strong
We'll always have a home

This house is built
On a foundation of love
This house is built
On a foundation of love

This house is built
On a foundation of love
This house is built
On a foundation of love

This house is built
On a foundation of love
This house is built
On a foundation of love

"Paradise"

   
(N. Rodgers/G. Smith)

Paradise is what you're looking for
Paradise is what you're looking for

Are you looking for some place you can be free
Are you looking, looking for someone you want to be
You ran away from home girl - searching for your Shangri-la
Wherever you may roam girl in my mind you won't be far

Paradise is what you're looking for
Paradise is what you're looking for

You're a prisoner inside a gilded cage
You keep praying sayin' there must be a better way
You've got the best intentions of this I don't have any doubts
I can't help but to mention don't you know what life's about

Paradise is what you're looking for
Paradise is what you're looking for

Paradise is what you're looking for
Paradise is what you're looking for

Paradise is what you're looking for
Paradise is what you're looking for

"Keep On (Dancin')"

   
(N. Rodgers/G. Smith)

Dancin', dancin'

Keep on dancing
So you don't have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you don't have to feel the pain

Fate has dealt you a losing hand
Ever since the day that your life began
Wish you had some stronger ties
There's no one around to hear you cry
Move on up now, don't you see
Stop pretending you need a quick release
In the nighttime, in the rain
Like a moth drawn to the flame

Keep on dancing
So you don't have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you don't have to feel the pain

Some people think they have everything
But they're living in emotional poverty
They use their fronts making deals oh, mighty sharp
There's no love and they're bankrupt in the heart
Sky above and earth below
You can't hide, there's no place you can go
From yourself you can't run
When truth hurts it's not much fun

Keep on dancing
So you don't have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you don't have to feel the pain

Keep on dancing
So you don't have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you don't have to feel the pain

Dancin', dancin', dancin'
Dancin'
Keep on
Keep on
Dancin'

Sky above and earth below
You can't hide, there's no place you can go
From yourself you can't run
When truth hurts it's not much fun

Keep on dancing
So you don't have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you don't have to feel the pain
