The Tide Is High

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no

It's not the things you do that tease and wound me bad
But it's the way you do the things you do to me

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one

Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one

Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one

To Love Again

Every night every day
I tell my heart to forget you and to move away
Not to break anymore
But, oh, no matter
What I say
You're so deep in my mind
There's no way to leave this love behind

It used to be
I believed I could go on and find someone to
Rest upon anyone, anyone
Soon I found
There was no other.
There you are
Framed against the sky
You are my life and I pray for when
You will be mine
To love again

I see the rain in the sky
And I see your face
Through every tear that I cry
With every breath and every sound
I can hear another voice and swear that you're around
And every word is clear
'Cause I know
The memory won't let go
Until you're mine
To love again

Who's to say what lives in the past
Who's to say that love won't last
Time's been standing still
Waiting so patiently until
Until that one day when
When I will have you
To love again

And there you are
Framed against the sky
You are my life
And I pray for when
You will be mine
To love again

No More I Love You's

Do be do be do do do oh
Do be do be do do do oh

I used to be a lunatic from the gracious days
I used to feel woebegone and so restless nights
My aching heart would bleed for you to see
Oh, but now
I don't find myself bouncing home
Whistling buttonhole tunes to make me cry

No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
Changes are shifting
Outside the words

The lover speaks about the monsters

I used to have demons in my room at night
Desire, despair, desire
So many monsters

Oh, but now
I don't find myself bouncing around
Whistling my conscience to make me cry

No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me in silence
No more I love you's
Changes are shifting
Outside the words

And people are being real crazy
But we will only come
And you know what mommy?
Everybody was being real crazy
The monsters are crazy.
There are monsters outside

No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me in silence
No more I love you's
Changes are shifting outside the words
Outside the words

No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
Changes are shifting outside the words

Do be do be do do do oh
Do be do be do do do oh
Outside the words

Sweet Dreams

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas--
Everybody's looking for something.

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas--
Everybody's looking for something.

Hold your head up
Keep your head up

Hold your head up
MOVIN' ON)

Keep your head up
MOVIN' ON)

Hold your head up
MOVIN' ON)

Keep your head up
MOVIN' ON)

Hold your head up
MOVIN' ON)

Keep your head up

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas--
Everybody's looking for something.

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas--
Everybody's looking for something.

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas--
Everybody's looking for something.

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas--
Everybody's looking for something.

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas--
Everybody's looking for something.

Touch Me

Come on, come on, come on now touch me baby
Can't you see that I am not afraid.
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

I'm gonna love you till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I.

Come on, come on, come on now touch me baby
Can't you see that I am not afraid.
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

I'm gonna love you till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I.

I'm gonna love you till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I.

Riders On The Storm

Riders on the storm.
Riders on the storm.
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan.
Riders on the storm.

There's a killer on the road.
His brain is squirming like a toad.
Take a long holiday
Let your children play.
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die.
Killer on the road.

Girl, you gotta love your man.
Girl, you gotta love your man.
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends.
Our life will never end.
Girl, you gotta love your man.

Riders on the storm.
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan.
Riders on the storm.

Riders on the storm.
Riders on the storm.
Riders on the storm.
Riders on the storm.
