"Hurricane"

Версия для печати
You drove into town like the wind.
Hot on the heels of the rain.
And in your eyes all is calm.
That's why they call you Hurricane.

You blow me away.
You blow me away.

Ooh, what a powerful force
howling around in my brain.
Knocking me down with your touch.
Mmm, that's why they call you Hurricane.

You blow me away.
Oh, oh, you blow me away.

Hurricane gonna kill me!
Honey, you sure do thrill me!
Swallow me without a sound.
Hurricane is a-rising,
hot and so surprising.
Forecast warns I'm gonna drown.
Blow me and swell me on down.

You blow me away.
You blow me away!
Ah, ah-mmm, blow me away.

Hurricane gonna kill me!
Ah, honey you sure do thrill me!
Swallow me without a sound.
Hurricane is a-rising,
hot and so surprising!
Forecast warns I'm gonna drown.
Baby, just go on down!

Leave broken hearts in your wake.
I ain't the one to complain, no, no, no!
You blow all the lives that you take.
Give me a ride, won't you Hurricane?

You blow me away.
You blow me away.
Oh, Hurricane, blow me away.
You, only you, blow me away, ahh.

Hurricane is rising, it keeps surprising me.
Spinnin' me around and around.
Don't let me down.
Hurricane is rising, it keeps surprising me.
Hurry, hurry, Hurricane.

Tell me you love me.
He really does love me.
Spinnin' me around and around.
Don't let me down.
Hurricane is rising, it keeps surprising me.
Hurry, hurry, Hurricane.

Baby, you and I sky high!
You and I sky high!
Baby, you and I sky high!
You and I sky high!
Destiny is calling me.
All I want is calling me away.

"In This Life"

Версия для печати
For all I've been blessed with in this life,
there was an emptiness in me.
I was imprisoned by the power of gold.
With one kind touch you set me free.

Let the world stop turning.
Let the sun stop burning.
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart,
I will know deep in my heart
the only dream that mattered had come true:
In this life I was loved by you.

For every mountain I have climbed,
every raging river crossed,
you were the treasure that I longed to find.
Without your love I would be lost.

Let the world stop turning.
Let the sun stop burning.
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart,
I will know deep in my heart
the only dream that mattered had come true:
In this life I was loved by you.

I know that I won't live forever,
but forever I'll be loving you.

Let the world stop turning.
Let the sun stop burning.
Let them tell me love's not worth going through.
If it all falls apart,
I will know deep in my heart
the only dream that mattered had come true:
In this life I was loved by you.
In this life I was loved by you.

"In The Cool, Cool, Cool Of The Evening"

Версия для печати
Sue wants a barbeque.
Sam wants to boil a ham.
Grace votes for builabaise stew.
Jake wants a weenie bake,
stake and a layer cake.
Heґll get a tummy ache, too.
Weґll rent a tent or teepee.
Let the town cryer cry.
And if itґs RSVP,
this is what Iґll reply:

In the cool, cool, cool of the evenin',
tell 'em Iґll be there.
In the cool, cool, cool of the evenin',
better save a chair.
When the partyґs gettinґ a glow on,
singin' fills the air.
In the shank of the night,
when the doinsґ are right,
well you can tell 'em Iґll be there.

"Oui," said the bumblebee,
"Let's have jubilee."
"When?" said the prairie hen, "Soon?"
"Sure," said the dinosaur.
"Where?" said the grisly bear.
"Under the light of the moon."
"How 'bout your brother, jackass?"
everyone gaily cried.
"You comin' to the fracas?"
"Offer respects," he sighed.

In the coooool of the evenin',
tell 'em Iґll be there.
In the coooool of the evenin',
better save a chair.
When the partyґs gettinґ a glow on,
singin' fills the air.
If I ain't in a clique,
and there's something to pick,
well you can tell 'em Iґll be there.
If I can crawl out of bed
and slap a hat on my head,
well you can tell 'em I'll be there.
If there's room for one more,
and you need me, why sure,
tell 'em, tell 'em I'll be there.

"Married Men"

The world is full of married men
with wives who never understand.
They're looking for someone to share
the excitement of a love affair.

gets too hot to handle.
He'll say he just wants to be friends.
And then he'll walk outta your life
and go home to his wife
'cause he's a married man.

Love Tko"

Версия для печати
Oooooh
Oooooh

Lookin' back over my years
I guess I've shed some tears.
Told myself time and again
this time I'm gonna win.

But another fight. Things ain't right.
I'm losing again.
It takes a fool to lose twice
and start all over again.

I think I better let him go.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Let it go, baby.
I think I better let him go.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO. Ohh, yeah.

I tried to take control of the love.
He took control of me.
See you lose all thought and sense of time.
You have a change of mind.

Takin' the bumps and the bruises
and all the pain of a two-time lose.
And I try to hold on. My faith is gone.
It's just another sad song.

So I think I gotta
gotta let it go
I gotta let him go.
let it go, baby.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.
Oh, yes it does, yes it does.

I think I gotta
gotta let it go
Mmmmmmm.
let it go, baby.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.

Boy, whatcha want me to do? Can't stand up to you.
No no no no.

I try to take control of the love.
It took control of me.
See you lose all thought and sense of time.
You have a change of mind.

Taking the bumps and the bruises
and all the pain of a two-time lose.
Then I try to hold on. My faith is gone.
It's just another sad song.

I think I better
better let it go
I better let him go.
let it go, baby.
Cuz it looks like another love TKO.

Yeah, I better
better let it go
I gotta let him go.

Another love, love TKO.

Ooohhhh, boy you got me turned around and around and around.
Around and around.
Everybody's got to cry sometime.
That's what they say. I heard them say.

Everybody's gonna cry sometime.
Mama says that they did, that they did.

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii . . .

A boy went back to Napoli
Because he missed the scenery
The native dancers and the charming songs
But wait a minute, something's wrong

Hey, hey

"Sisters"

Версия для печати
Both: Sisters, sisters,
There were never such devoted sisters.
Never had to have a chaperone, no sir.
Linda: Iґm here to keep my eye on her.

Both: Caring, sharing
every little thing that we are wearing.
When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome,
Bette: she wore the dress and I stayed home.

Both: All kinds of weather, we stick together,
the same in the rain or sun.
Two different faces, but in tight places
we think and we act as one. Uh-huh!

Those whoґve seen us
know that not a thing can come between us.
Many men have tried to split us up, but no one can.
Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister,
and Lord help the sister that comes between me and my man.

"Stuff Like That There"

Версия для печати
"Here she is, direct from the convent, Miss Dixie Leonard"

I was alone on a shelf
In a world by myself.
Oh, where could my prince charming be?
But a man came along,
Made my life like a song,
And taught me these words of ecstasy,
Tenderly.

I want some huggin' and some squeezin'
And some muggin' and some teasin'
And some stuff like that there.
I want some pettin' and some spoonin'
And some happy honeymoonin'
And some stuff like that there.

I used to think that love
Was just a lot o' rubbish;
A mess o' cabbage, a mess o' cabbage.
But now my attitude
Is wholly lovey dovish,
And baby, you, you've done it!

I want some kissin' and some hopin'
And some missin' and some mopin'
And some stuff like that there.
I want some leapin' and some chasin'
And some weepin' and some pacin'
And some stuff like that there.

And when I get a certain feelin' I confess it.
There's really only one expression to express it.
I want some huggin' and some squeezin'
And some muggin' and some teasin'
And some leapin' and some chasin'
And some weepin' and some pacin'
And some stuff,
I want some stuff like that there.

I used to think romance was bunk,
A double mickey for the ickey.
But all at once my heart was sunk,
And baby, you, you've done it!

I want some kissin' and some hopin'
And some missin' and some mopin'
And some stuff like that there.
I want some leapin' and some chasin'
And some weepin' and some pacin'
And some stuff like that there.

And when i get a certain feelin' i confess it.
There's really only one expression to express it.
I want some huggin', squeezin',
Muggin', teasin' and some stuff,
Stuff like that there!
Oooooooooh!

"Superstar"

Версия для печати
Long ago, and, oh, so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show.
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear,
but you're not really here.
It's just the radio.

Chorus:
Don't you remember you told me you love me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby.
I love you, I really do.

Loneliness is such a sad affair, and I can hardly wait
to sleep with you again.
What to say, to make you come again?
Come back to me again, and play your sad guitar.

Chorus x2
[460x293]

You'll Never Know"

Версия для печати
Youґll never know just how much I miss you.
Youґll never know just how much I care.
And if I tried, I still couldnґt hide my love for you.
You oughtta know, for havenґt I told you so
a million or more times?

You went away and my heart went with you.
I speak your name in my every prayer.
If there is some other way to prove that I love you,
I swear I donґt know how.
Youґll never know if you donґt know now.
[150x258]

"The Rose"

Версия для печати
Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless, aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, it's only seed

It's the heart, afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream, afraid of waking
That never takes the chance

It's the one who wont be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dyin'
That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong

Just remember, in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love
In the spring, becomes the rose
[258x400]

"Stay With Me"

Версия для печати
Where did you go when things went wrong, baby?
Who did you run to?
Find a shoulder to lay your head upon.
Baby, wasn't I there?
Didn't I take good care of you?
But, oh, no. I can't believe you're leaving me, yeah.

Stay with me, baby.
I'm beggin' you to stay with me, baby.
Yeah, stay with me, baby.
I can't go on.

Who did you touch when you needed tenderness, baby?
I gave you so much,
and in return I found happiness.
Baby, what could I do?
Maybe I was too good, too good to you.
Ohh, no, I can't believe you're leavin' me.
Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, stay with me, baby.
Why don't you, why don't you just stay with me, baby?
Yeah, stay with me, baby.
Remember, you said you always gonna love me.
Remember, you said you'd never ever leave me.
Remember, remember, I'm asking you, begging you.
Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, stay with me, baby, baby, baby.
Why don't you stay with me, baby?
Stay with me, baby.
I can't, I can't go, oh, on.

Well, I'm a young woman, and I could get plenty of men.
But honey, keepin' 'em's the hard part, ain't it?
Yeah. Sometimes, sometimes I find I try so hard.

Maybe this time I should be the one to go away.
'Cause honey, ain't it my turn to have somebody
grab hold of me and say,
No! Don't go! You can't go!

Oh! Stay, stay with me, baby.
I'm begging you, stay with me.
Stay with me, baby.
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, stay with me, baby.
Why don't you stay with me, baby?
Stay with me, baby.
I can't, I can't go on.
