Your looks are sensational
Where do I begin?
You're so unbelievable
It must be a sin
I try to keep pace with you
But I never win
You're on the attack again
I'll have to give in

You look fully grown
I thought you'd have known
Your mother should have told you
Girls turn into women
Your mother should have warned you
You fall in love and then
Your mother should have told you
You're sinking or you're swimming
Your mother should have warned you
Boys turn into men

Her manners are counterfeit
But she knows how to act
And when you get used to it
It's better than fact
You never can tell the real from pretend
You liked the beginning
Well, wait'til the end

You look fully formed
You should have been warned
Your mother should have told you
Girls turn into women
Your mother should have warned you
You fall in love and then
Your mother should have told you
You're sinking or you're swimming
Your mother should have warned you
Boys turn into men

Guitar solo

You look fully grown
I thought you'd have known
Your mother should have told you
Girls turn into women
Your mother should have warned you
Boys turn into men

Your looks are sensational
Where do I begin?
You're so unbelievable
It must be a sin
I thought you'd have known
You look fully grown
...... attend to your own
Your mother should have told you
Girls turn into women
Your mother should have warned you
You fall in love and then
Your mother should have told you
You're sinking or you're swimming
Your mother should have warned you
Boys turn into men

Your mother should have told you
Girls turn into women
Your mother should have told you
You fall in love and then
Your mother should have told you
You're sinking or you're swimming
Your mother should have told you
Boys turn into men

I'm looking down from a precipice
I hear a roar from behind
The whole world's pushing
To let them pass
I think they'd best wait in line
I'm in the eye of a hurricane
I wait for mountains to fall
The world comes thundering down again
But nothing gets through these walls
I've waited light years for this moment
I've waited light years for you

I'm out there watching the sun come up
And I've got nowhere to hide
The world keeps on pushing
Just to get a look
But I'm not stepping aside
Forces have met to bring me here to you
Nothing on earth can keep me from the truth
Now the eternal flame at last burns bright again
The wait was not in vain
Now that I've found you
The storm is raging around us all
A shelter forms in my mind
The world keeps pushing upon my door
But I won't let them inside

. . .


Rumour has it you're an angel
Let's see if the gossip's true
Force of will or force of nature
It's only a point of view
I've seen you dancing on the floor
They don't make them like you no more
Bye, bye for now, I'll check you later
See you in a week or two

You can't get enough of a good thing
I can't get enough of you
I won't settle for less than you, girl
Because only the best will do, girl

O.K., so you ain't no saint, but I think you're heavenly
And I appreciate the rumours came from choreography
Last night when you came through the door
I swear I saw the wings you wore
And even though your halo slipped
I thank my lucky stars for you

You can't get enough of a good thing
I can't get enough of you
I won't settle for less than you, girl
Because only the best will do, girl

. . .


I got dreams, dreams to remember
I got dreams, dreams to remember
Honey I saw you there last night
Another man's arms holding you tight
Nobody knows how I felt inside
All I know is I walked away and cried
I got dreams, dreams to remember
Dreams to remember
I know you said he was just a friend
But I saw you kiss him again and again
These eyes of mine they don't fool me
Why did he hold you so tenderly
I got dreams, dreams to remember
Dreams to remember
I got dreams, dreams to remember
I still want you to stay
I still love you anyway
I don't want you to ever leave
Girl - you just satisfy me
I know you said he was just a friend
But I saw you kiss him again and again
These eyes of mine they don't fool me
Why did you hold him so tenderly
I got dreams, dreams to remember
Ooh dreams
Brok'n dreams
Don't help each other
Bad dreams
Dreams to remember
Dreams to remember
Dreams to remember
Dreams to remember
Dreams to remember
Dreams to remember
Dreams to remember........

Ain't no doubt about it, you're a masterpiece
You're amazing
Adrift at sea'til I saw your face
It's amazing
Anybodys guess - now it's guaranteed
Sent to seventh heaven in my hour of need

Baby baby baby you're amazing
Taken by surprise
Don't waste time tryin'to explain it
Can't believe my eyes

You changed my nights from black to blue
It's amazing
Ever since I fell in love with you
You're amazing
So far out of sight that it's like a dream
Beyond all imagining
But I believe

Baby baby baby you're amazing
Take me by surprise
Don't waste time, baby tryin'to explain it
Right before my eyes
Baby baby baby we ain't faking
We're in paradise
Baby doll, I'm not exaggering

I thought that I could see, but I was blind
I realized now I'm just wasting time
Baby baby baby you're amazing
Taken by surprise
Don't waste time, baby tryin'to explain it
Can't believe my eyes

I used to be weak but you made me strong
So amazing
It's gotta be right 'cos it sure ain't wrong
It's amazing
Baby you're the difference between day and night
I was in the dark 'til I saw the light
Dynamite!

Baby baby baby you're amazing
Took me by surprise
Don't waste time, baby tryin' to explain it
Right before my eyes
Baby baby baby we ain't faking
This is paradise
Baby doll, I'm not exaggering
Girl you're dynamite
Baby baby baby
Baby you're amazing
Took me by surprise
Baby you know how to drive me crazy
Make me realize
Why waste time baby tryin' to explain it
This is paradise
Baby baby baby you're amazing

I wanna mess around with you
Your love's so profound
Let's break some taboo
I want you in sensurround
Let me see you hoochie-coo

'Til you set my soul on fire now

But what I like to do the most is
Rock n'roll with you

Hold you, squeeze you
Come here sugar let me tease you
Feel that feeling
Just like dancing on the ceiling
Take you higher
'Til I set your soul on fire now

I like messin'round
I wanna mess around with you
Your love's so profound
Let's break some taboo
I wanna mess around
Let me see you hoochie-coo
You're so superfine
I wanna mess around with you
Turn me upside down
Let me taste the proof
Baby let's fool around
I wanna mess around with you

I like messin' round
I like mess around with you
I wanna mess around (very quiet)

Take a gamble with your heart
Take a chance on happiness
Odds are on your better half
You'll be glad you placed the bet
Think it over - what's to lose?
All the odds are in your favour
Play your cards right - no excuse
You know life is what you make it
Scared to move case you get shortchanged
But nothing venture, baby - nothing gained
Take a gamble with your heart
Take a chance on happiness
Toss a coin or turn a card
Time to give those blues a rest
Play for keeps - bet your life
I see loving in your future
You'll never know if you don't try
Missionary or kama sutra?
If there's room for you to improve
There's only one thing left for you to do
Take a gamble with your heart
Take a chance on happiness
Take the plunge - leap in the dark
Put your instincts to the test
Take a gamble with your heart
Take a chance on happiness
Turn or leave me - coming start
Find out what you like the best
Take a gamble with your heart........

That girl stole my heart
When she gave a kiss to me
She opened her arms
And she gave herself to me
That girl stole my heart
When she gave a kiss to me
She opened her arms
And she gave herself to me

I started to explore every possibility
Since she gave a kiss to me
The strength of her appeal
Lies in her ability
To keep a sense of mystery
She made my senses real
When she gave a kiss to me
She made the others history

It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past

That girl stole my heart
When she gave a kiss to me
She opened her arms
And she gave herself to me
That girl stole my heart
When she gave a kiss to me
She opened her arms
And she gave herself to me

I feel like I'm the deal
Since she gave a kiss to me
It felt like electricity
Her lips gave me sensations
Full of authenticity
When she gave a kiss to me
Her kiss had such effect
'cos of it's simplicity
She made the others history

It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past

That girl stole my heart
When she gave a kiss to me
She opened her arms
And she gave herself to me

I started to explore every possibility
Since she gave a kiss to me
The strength of her appeal
Lies in her ability
To keep a sense of mystery
She made my senses real
When she gave a kiss to me
She made the others history

It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past
The rest is history
It's all in the past

Close your eyes - close the door
You don't have to worry any more
I'll be your baby tonight

Shut the light - shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
I'll be your baby tonight

Well, the mockingbird's gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Big old moon's gonna shine like a spoon
We're gonna let it - you won't regret it

Kick your shoes off - do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight

Be my baby
Be my baby
Be my baby
Be my baby
I'll be your baby tonight

Well, the mockingbird's gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
Big old moon's gonna shine like a spoon
We're gonna let it - you won't regret it

Kick your shoes off - do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight

Be my baby
Be my baby
Be my baby
Be my baby
I'll be your baby tonight
I'll be your baby tonight
I'll be your baby tonight

Wave goodbye from out of the window
Good-no trouble starting the car
Time for just one more cup of coffee
You know the housework won't wait

Where to start now? - time to get going
The housework keeps you feeling alive
Clear the plates and wash up the dishes
RRR! - Let's go - now the bedroom

Make the bed and fluff up the pillows
The housework makes you happy
Shake the rug and open the windows
The housework keeps you feeling alive
Close the drawers and tidy the closet
The housework keeps you going
Throw the dirty clothes in the hamper
RRR! - Let's go - looking better

RRR! - Let's go - get the vacuum
Round the carpets under the table
The housework makes you happy
Dust the shelves and polish the glass-ware
The housework keeps you feeling alive
Make some lunch and take out the garbage
The housework keeps you going
Pay the bills and get the dry-cleaning
RRR! - Let's go - time for shopping

Bread and milk and plenty of groceries
The housework makes you happy
Get some cash out of the dispenser
The housework keeps you feeling alive
Don't forget to stock up the freezer
The housework keeps you going
Get some wine for later this evening
Home by five! - how the kitchen

RRR! - Let's go - make the dinner
Get the roast into the oven
The housework makes you happy
Peel the veg and then set the table
The housework keeps you feeling alive
Freshen up and put on some music
The housework got your dancing
Light the candles - there goes the doorbell
RRR! - she's home - perfect timing!

Welcome back, dear - how did your day go?
The housework's nearly over
How about an aperitif, dear?
I'll get the dinner you open the wine
Pass the salt - you want more potatoes?
No more housework
Leave the dishes until tomorrow
RRR! Let's play

. . .


Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind
That blows from the north, west, south and east
Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no
Oil wasted on the oceans and our seas
Fish full of mercury
Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no
What about this over-crowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
I want you
The right way
I want you
But I want you to want me too
Said I want you to love me
Just like I want you
Oh, I'll give you all the love
You want in return sweet darlin'
Your happiness is all I crave
Ooh, it's too bad - it's just too sad
You don't want me now
But I'm gonna change
Your mind someway, somehow, baby
I want you
The right way
I want you
But I want you to want me too
Said I want you to love me
Just like I want you
A one way love is just fantasy
Oh, sugar
To share is precious pure and fair, ooh
Don't play with something
You should cherish for your life, baby
Don't you want to care?
Lonely?
I'm there

. . .


Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad your back, don't explain
Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that I love you
And what endures
All my thoughts of you
For I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Don't explain

. . .


Say you'll write your story -
Pictures, dreams and letters
Get your past existence
Off your mind
Life is such a miracle
Every day brings changes
Into your life

You could easily
Tell her you know the melody
You could get over her
You keep consoling her
Like a black and white movie

If you miss your aeroplane
Then you've got nowhere else to call
Just hearing your romantic schemes
Can set my heart to thundering
I long to see your bright and smiling eyes

Babe, the stars are sparkling
In your tears
You'd better take my handkerchief
And dry your eyes
Love is such a miracle
Every day brings brings brand new life

Why hesitate?
Why compromise?
You're a friend of mine
Suddenly I am here with you
I won't get over you -
I want control of you
You'll have to make your own move
Once I get hold of you
I won't let go of you
I'll miss my aeroplane too

. . .


Don't start collecting things
One kiss is never enough
Sweetheart, they're suspecting things
People will say we're in love
Don't sigh and gaze at me
Your sigh's so like mine
Your eyes shouldn't glow like mine
People will say we're in love
Don't praise my charm too much
Don't act so vain with me
Don't stand in the rain with me
People will say we're in love
Don't dance all night with me
Til the stars fade from above
They'll see it's alright with me
People will say we're in love
People will say we're in love

. . .


Not a word in your room
I watch your hand
Stroking your hair
You know I look
You don't watch me

Does the time stand still?
You move so slow
I hear you softly sigh for me -
Only for me
I know you - let me see
I see your kiss
Painted for me
You know I do
But you don't watch me

Magificent
Immodesty
I place myself at your command
Give it to me

Just a word in your ear
I feel your arms around me
You want me there
I want you here
I meet you now -
You meet me too
You take a kiss
So tenderly from me

. . .


When I make my Top 40
Smash hit
Rock ‘n' roll record
Everything is gonna be just fine
When I make my Top 40
Smash hit
Rock ‘n' roll disc
I'll be the record company's valentine
No more philosophic melancholia
Eight hundred pounds of electric genitalia
When I make my Top 40
Smash hit
Rock ‘n' roll record
Everything's gonna be just fine

When I make my fuzz tone
Wah-wah
Synthesized record
Everything is gonna be just grand
When I make my fuzz tone
Wah-wah
Synthesized disc
I'll have to get myself a moving van
Costume, hairdo, made up cute
A personal connection in a business suit
When I make my fuzz tone
Wah-wah
Synthesized record
Everything is gonna be just grand

When I make my dynamite
Heavy soul
Freaked out record
Everything is gonna be just swell
When I make my dynamite
Heavy soul
Freaked out disc
I'll be living it up pell mell
Mountain top hide away
Three-car garage
Out there hustlin' that sonic massage

When I make my Top 40
Big beat
Heavy soul
Freaked out
Solid gold
Synthesized
Rock ‘n' roll record
Everything is gonna be just fine

. . .


You're so desirable
I can't resist you
You're so desirable
I have to give in

That firm resolve I made
Has vanished away now
I'm happy to say now
You win

You're so adorable
The moment I saw you
It's just deplorable
The fool that I've been

And so I'm glad
You've got my heart dear
Like a butterfly on a pin
You're so desirable
I have to give in

That firm resolve I made
Has vanished away now
I'm happy to say now
You win

You're so adorable
The moment I saw you
It's just deplorable
The fool that I've been

And so I'm glad
You've got my heart dear
Like a butterfly on a pin
You're so desirable
I have to give in

. . .


You're my thrill
You do something to me
You send chills right through me
When I look at you
'cause youre my thrill

You're my thrill
How my pulse increases
I just go to pieces
When I look at you
'cause you're my thrill

Nothing seems to matter
Here's my heart on a silver platter
Where's my will
Why this strange desire
That keeps mounting higher
When I look at you
I can't keep still
You're my thrill

Where's my will
Why this strange desire
That keeps mounting higher
When I look at you
I can't keep still
You're my thrill
