Are you happy now?
Now you're standing out from the crowd
Is that a measure of the way you are?
Got to hear your name out loud
Well I wonder
How do you compare?
Now with the other people living out there
Tell me, do you only think about yourself
Or love in a peaceful world
Don't you hear the angels when they say,
They say it for you
Bitter tears will never find a way
Oh with a little luck baby
We could wind up in the middle of a little love
Baby I know
Take a chance and then maybe
We could try to work it out
With a little luck
Baby I know
Baby I know
Get down on your knees
You better pray for what you seem to believe
So now is it really what you want the most
Save a kiss for the Holy Ghost
Don't you hear the angels when they sing Ave Maria
Take a chance and then we'll blessed be
Oh with a little luck baby
We could wind up in the middle of a little love
Baby who knows
Take a chance and then maybe
We could try to work it out
With a little luck baby I know
Don't you hear the angels when they sing Ave Maria
And then we'll blessed be
You gotta believe
With a little luck baby
We could wind up in the middle of a little love
Baby I know
Take a chance and then maybe
We could try to work it out
With a little, a little luck
With a little luck baby
We could wind up in the middle of a little love
Baby I know
Take a chance and then maybe
We could try to work it out
With a little luck baby who knows
Baby I know
Let me tell you the story of my life
About the fall from paradise that ended all my dreaming
And I tried and tried, but I could not put it right
So like a child on Christmas night, I just stopped believing
Now that you're gone, where do I run
Crowded room, I'm standing all alone
Now that you're gone
If I seem ok, it's just a masquerade
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
|
When we make it we're gonna shake this town
If they hate it we'll turn them upside down
When they see us
They'll come running out of every single door
Just to hear us
They'll listen over and over and on and on
When the last chance comes along
We better take it
Do the right dance and be strong
And then we'll make it right
Hold me darlin' one more night
They've been laughing for a long long time
When it happens, it's gonna make me smile
I've been praying
For the break to come to make them eat their words
They'll be saying, "Oh baby, we never doubted that you'd make it work"
When the last chance comes along
We better take it
Do the right dance and be strong
And then we'll make it right
Hold me darlin' one more night
Hold me tight, hold me tight
And when I get there yeah! yeah!
Oh they'll tell everybody they're a friend of mine
And I'll forget that, oh baby
They never cared whether we lived or died
When the last chance comes along
We better take it
Do the right dance and be strong
And then we'll make it
When the last chance comes along
We better take it
Do the right dance and be strong
And then we'll make it right
Hold me darlin' one more night
Hold me
Hold me tight
When the last chance comes
Do the dance
Now hold me tight
Hold me tight
When the last chance comes
We better make it right
Pretty little face
Don't fit around here no more
Guess you're in disgrace
Wild side got the better of you
Oh, got your face pressed up 'gainst the window pane
Baby don't give up don't ever walk away
Got your hand held out
Dare to ask for more
You can figure how to open up the door
With a little luck on a wing and a prayer
With a lot of love we can make it anywhere
With a little hope maybe if we dare
With a little luck we're gonna make it yeah!
You got a voice and you got taste
And when you make a choice
You got a feel for the human race
Oh, got your head held high
Looking straight ahead
Dare to question why they said the things they did
Wipe away that tear you're not suffering
Let me make it clear don't ever change a thing
With a little luck on a wing and a prayer
With a lot of love we can make it anywhere
With a little hope maybe if we dare
With a little luck we're gonna make it
Life's an open book if you take a look
Turn the page to find yourself running away
You can't do it got to work through it
Keep looking and your heart will show the way
Your heart will show the way!
Got your head held high
Looking straight ahead
Dare to question why they said the things they did
Wipe away that tear you're not suffering
Let me make it clear don't ever change a thing
With a little luck on a wing and a prayer
With a lot of love we can make it anywhere
With a little hope maybe if we dare
With a little luck we're gonna make it
With a little luck on a wing and a prayer
With a lot of love we can make it anywhere
With a little hope maybe if we dare
With a little luck you know we'll make it
With a little luck on a wing and a prayer
With a lot of love we can make it anywhere
With a little hope maybe if we dare
With a little luck you know we'll make it
With a little luck on a wing and a prayer
With a lot of love we can make it anywhere
With a little hope maybe if we dare
With a lot of love we're gonna make it
I have waited patiently for your heart to call to me
Across the great divide of the years that have slipped by
All the long and lonely nights I lay bathed in pale moonlight
Upon the bed we graced, now there's just a cold and empty space
Even all my friends say it's time to let you go
It is time to break the hold
So I'm giving up the mention of your name
And I'm giving up the vision of your face
I'm forgiving us for letting go of love
Giving up the one I want the most
Giving up the ghost
I don't search to find a cure, I don't do that anymore
I learned to lay the blame on the strangers we became
We were just one step away from a truth I couldn't face
But I hoped against it all that our history would break our fall
So I prayed for love to save us and I wished upon a star
But you wished us far apart
So I'm giving up the mention of your name
It's time to let you go
So I'm giving up
I'm giving up the mention of your name

My mama said never talk to strangers
And in my head I knew all the dangers
Just a girl, but something inside
Told me don't be afraid the time's right
And when you left I had to run for cover
So I took myself to many other lovers
It doesn't matter what I let them do
From everyone I learned a thing or two
And I want you to make love to me
Like you did before
We could do everything
I learned a whole lot more
Oh baby, I'm a woman now
I'm not the girl that you left behind
But we can work on it honey
'til it feels like the very first time
You lay your hands on me
I had to beg for more
Together we turn the key
Now I'm sure
You're making love to me like the very first time
Come on over here
Lose your inhibitions
I'm gonna make it clear
It's not an imposition
We'll take our time
Moving it slow
I just want you to know it's alright
Make love to me
Like you did before
We could do everything
I learned a whole lot more
Oh baby, I'm a woman now
I'm not the girl that was on your mind
But we can work on it honey
'til it feels like the very first time
Do you wanna hold me baby (first time)
Don't you wanna touch me (very first time)
Won't you make love to me
Make love to me
Like you did before
We could do everything
I learned a whole lot more
Come on baby, I'm a woman now
I'm not the girl that was on your mind
But we can work on it honey
'til it feels like the very first time
You lay your hands on me
I had to beg for more
Together we turn the key
Now I'm sure
You're making love to me like the very first time
Very first time
Once in a while you tell me your love is true
Now and again you hold me like you used to
Are you looking for another girl
Who needs the same as you
Are you looking for another world
With not so much to lose
If I live and breathe for you
Hold back the seas for you
Oh, say you will, say you will
Say you will be mine
I know somebody once tore your world apart
Slowly I hope I'm mending your broken heart
If I hold you long enough
Will you speak the truth
Am I kissing you deep enough
To prove this love to you
If I take a stand for you
Hold out my hand for you
Oh, say you will, say you will
Say you will be mine
If I live and breathe for you
I'll hold back the seas for you
If I take a stand for you
Say you will, say you will
Say you will be mine
Something you said has made me realise
And these arms wait for you
You are the rain to wash away my fears
And these arms wait for you
(These arms wait for you)
And these arms wait for you
This heart beats for you
|
All the world is watching you
What you gonna do
What's your next move
All the things I see in you
Will all come true
If you want them to
Take off the cloak that defends you baby
Let it fall to the ground
Let it all fall away from you
Let it all fall
Just let it fall away
Let it all fall away from you
Let it all fall
Just let it fall away
Don't have to carry this weight alone
Call and I will follow you
Live my dreams through you
Feel extremes through you
And I'm waiting in the wings to prove
I believe in you
Don't you want me to
Take down the wall that divides our feelings
Let it go baby
Let it all fall away from you
Let it all fall
Just let it fall away
Let it all fall away from you
Let it all fall
Just let it fall away
Don't have to labour in this love
One thing you know for certain
I'll help you carry this burden
Let it all fall away
All the world is watching you
What you gonna do
What you trying to prove
Let it all fall away from you
Let it all fall
Just let it fall away
Let it all fall away from you
Let it all fall
Just let it fall away
Don't have to carry this weight
Let it, let it, let it, just let it
Let it all fall, just let it fall away
Let it all fall away from you
Oh, let it all fall, just let it fall away
Let it fall away from you
Just let it, oh let it fall away
Oh, let it all fall away from you
Let it all fall, just gotta let it fall
Let it fall
Well this dog is a dog
And this walk is a hell of a walk
You see, me and the dog always seem to walk too far
Now this road is a road
And this house never leaves me alone
You see, me and the house never seem to get along
And the people I meet
They don't feed my desires
I never seem to believe my eyes
Sweet dreams when you go to bed, ooh
Is your daddy gonna climb into your head
Oh, oh, Well then you'll never be the same again
Oh no! Let your momma get you something for the pain
Yeah!
Well this hole is a hole
And I fell to the bottom I know
You see, me and the hole we don't feel the need to part
And the things that I've seen
Would make you want to cry
You see, I've never been to a place I like
Sweet dreams when you go to bed
Is your momma gonna climb into your head
Oh, oh, Well then you'll never be the same again
Oh no! Let your daddy get you something for the pain
Don't say this is paradise!
And the things that I've seen
Would make you want to sit down and cry
I've never been to a place I like
Don't say this is paradise!
Sweet dreams!
Sweet dreams when you go to bed, ooh
Is your daddy gonna climb into your little head
Oh, oh, Well then you'll never be the same again
Oh no! Let your momma get you something for the pain
Don't say this is paradise!
Don't say this is paradise
Don't say this is paradise
Don't say this is paradise
Don't say this is paradise
This ain't your sweet dreams
Oh no, sweet dreams!
