I want you to love me
That's all i want from you
I want you to love me
One day
I know i'm a peasant
Dressed as a princess
But that doesn't mean you have
To take my clothes away
If i could show you
Some happiness
Then i would feel
Like a real princess
That to me would be success
My baby
I seen you dancin'
A natural beauty
You make this dive
Seem sublime
You really get
To the heart of the music
You're the poetry of time
If there's a method
To writing a song
How come i'm getting it wrong
You write the beautiful songs
Baby
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon baby
Take my hand
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon show me
To the love land
Can this really happen
In this day and age
Suddenly
To just turn the page
Like walking on stage
My baby
. . .

When i change my life
There'll be no more disgrace
The deeds of my past
Will be erased
And you'll forgive me
Then you will come back
Hold my hand and say "i still love you"
When i change my life
When i change my life
And all the scars have faded
I'll be someone you look up to
Not excused when your friends come around
And you'll want me always to be there
You'll be proud to say "i'm with her"
When i change my life
I want a place in the sun - i do
I want to be in love with someone
I want to forget every regret
And all those rotten things that i put you through
When i change my life
And the idiot me
Leaves this town forever
Leaves us to be
Together - for the rest of our lives
Happily forever and ever
When i change my life
. . .

Take a message to my love
And don't say where you saw me
Seven men crossed the river
And they took all the money
Colour the wind
And search deep within
And by the light of the moon
Light of the moon
Light of the moon
We'll begin again
Secrets whispered in shadows
While the village lay sleeping
Guiding me to the answer
Bang a drum and i'll follow
Colour the wind
And search deep within
And by the light of the moon
Light of the moon
Light of the moon
We'll begin again
Say they're taking the children
Oh, i think they've forgotten
Does their innocence wander
On its way back to my love
Colour the wind
And search deep within
And by the light of the moon
Light of the moon
Light of the moon
We'll begin again

Dance!
If you will
Dance!
On your capitol hill
Dance!
If you can
Dance!
Like a twentieth century man
Take the people by the throat
Give 'em a reason to give you a vote
Take your audience up on stage
Let them think you're a sage
Dance!
If you want
Dance!
Like you've got a house to haunt
Dance!
Like a freak
Dance!
Like you needed it all week
Take your people by the hand
Tell 'em you'll get 'em to the promised land
Take your woman in the heat of the night
Make her think you're right
C'mon!
Dance!
Like a chimpanzee
Dance!
In the 'land of the free'
Dance!
Like a russian ballet
Dance!
Like a funky situe
Let 'em know that you're well read
Quote the things that jesus said
Lift your face and your whiskey neat
To get you up on your feet
C'mon!
. . .

Don't you go away
C'mon get close to me
The hassles of the day
Have made a real mess of me
The moon is in the sky
And the stars are out tonight
They shimmer in the pools of your eyes
In the moonlight
You're so nice to touch
Lovely to look at
Touch, touch
In the tradition of love
Hear the summer breeze
All the nighttime's listening
Your eyes are sparkling now
And their oceans glistening
Sail upon a sea
Of love filling the room
Lilacs seem to be
Everywhere with their perfume
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
You can in a breath
Blow the storm clouds out the sky
A hurricane retreats
In the blinking of your eye
A flame within my heart
Is ignited by your voice
C'mon baby now
Let's make love our final choice
Ooh you're nice to touch
Lovely to look at
Touch, touch
In the tradition of love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love

Don't get me wrong
If i'm looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by
Don't get me wrong
If you say "hello" and i take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
If i'm acting so distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile
Don't get me wrong
If i split like light refracted
I'm only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile
Once in awhile
Two people meet
Seemingly for no reason
They just pass on the street
Suddenly thunder, showers everywhere
Who can explain the thunder and rain
But there's something in the air
Don't get me wrong
If i come and go like fashion
I might be great tomorrow
But hopeless yesterday
Don't get me wrong
If i fall in the 'mode of passion'
It might be unbelievable
But let's not say "so long"
It might just be fantastic
Don't get me wrong
. . .

I remember you
I remember the first time we met
I may be a sentimental fool
Forever in your debt
For something i cannae forget
I remember you
I remember the first time we spoke
The sound of your voice like a lover's tongue
Got in my ear when i'd just begun
To wonder if springtime was through
I remember you
How do we change so easily?
You'll always be a part of me
I thought you'd never go
It shows you what i know
I remember the first time we slept
What a surprise to wake up to
Someone i hardly knew
From a sleep to a dream come true
I remember you
. . .

Hey baby
I wanna know
How much
Did you get for your soul?
You had the gospel
When you were shackled to a tree
Now you've got your freedom
You sing for the money
Soul
Soul
Soul
Soul
How much did ya
How much did ya
How much did ya get?
Hey babe
Tell me please
How much
Did you get for that sleaze?
You finally made it
Right up to the top
Millions of kids are looking at you
You say "let them drink soda pop"
Soul
Soul
Soul
Soul
How much did ya
How much did ya
How much did ya get?
Who's got soul?
Who's got soul?
From the african nation
To the pepsi generation
Who's got soul?
Who's got soul?
It dwell from tree to sea
Every living entity
Share the super soul
We got super soul
Who's got soul?
Who could think that you're for real -
A puppet in a cabaret
To increase your wealth
Baby realise yourself
Hey baby
I wanna know
From the 'a-go-go' to the disco
Where did you really go?
You finally made it
You're gonna make it rich
As long as some poor bastard in africa
Is lying in a ditch
Soul
Soul
Soul
Soul
How much did ya
How much did ya
How much did ya get?

She's getting older
Yeah, she's getting wise
But a change has changed the girl
Gone's the sparkle from her eyes
She wants to be a good mother
So she'll do the best she can
But what about the other
What about the man
Well it's cold to leave a woman
With family on her own
It's chill factor
To the bone
Resignation
In her sighs
Is a sorry indication
Of how time
Can brutalise
Take away the hope
And the will will follow
Take away the faith
And goodbye tomorrow
Well it's cold to leave a woman
With family on her own
It's chill factor
To the bone
She had her dreams too
But how can she pursue
Her ambitions, be they great or small
You took her wings and flew
But remember when you're through
Your rise was due
To somebody else's fall
When the hard part's over
And the kids are almost grown
You'll be their big hero
Whenever you make it home
Shower them with presents
Things she could never buy
Delight them with your stories
About the great big, great big world outside
But dig -
It's cold to leave a woman
With family on her own
It's chill factor
Chill factor
To the bone
. . .

Let me inside you
Into your room
I've heard it's lined
With the things you don't show
Lay me beside you
Down on the floor
I've been your lover
From the womb to the tomb
I dress as your daughter
When the moon becomes round
You be my mother
When everything's gone
And she will always carry on
Something is lost
But something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Somethings change
Some stay the same
Keep beckoning to me
From behind that closed door
The maid and the mother
And the crone that's grown old
I hear your voice
Coming out of that hole
I listen to you
And i want some more
I listen to you
And i want some more
And she will always carry on
Something is lost
But something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Some things change
Some stay the same
. . .

I used to live in a room full of mirrors
All i could see was me
Well i took my spirit
And i crashed my mirrors
Now the whole world is here for me to see
I've got a whole world that's here for me to see
Now i'm searching for my love to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Broken glass was falling in my brain
Cuttin' and screamin' and crying in my head
Broken glass was falling in my brain
It used to fall on my dreams and cut me in my bed
It used to fall on my dreams and cut me in my bed
I said making love was strange in my bed
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah. yeah. yeah, yeah
Love come shining o'er the mountain
Love come shining o'er the sea
Love will shine on my baby
Then i'll know exactly who's for me
Then i'll know exactly who's for me
(in the meantime we still got alotta groovy time)
Hey!yeah.yeah.yeah.yeah.yeah.yeah.yeah.yeah
