Альбом Cyndi Lauper

(Billy Steinberg, Tom Kelly)

I had to escape
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead, uh, huh

Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night

What in this world
Keep us from tearing apart
No matter where I go I hear
The beating of your heart
I think about you
When the night is cold and dark
No one can move me
The way that you do
Nothing erases the feeling between me and you

I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night

Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
I drove all night... to hold you tight

(Cyndi Lauper, Billy Steinberg, Tom Kelly)

My heart keeps beating me to death
I see you move and I can't catch my breath
I want to touch you with my lips
I want to touch you with a kiss

My heart keeps pounding like a fist
I see you there and I just can't resist
You make me tremble like this
You make me tremble like a jellyfish

It's primitive
You got me
Oh
It's primitive
You make me feel
Primitive
When you lock me in your arms
You chain me to your heart
...Oh

I hear you calling out my name
And when you talk your words they numb my brain
You make this fire in me start
I want to touch you with my heart

I hear you whisper in the dark
And when you touch me I just come apart
I feel the fever in your hands
We feel things we don't even understand

It's primitive
You got me
Oh
It's primitive
You make me feel
Primitive
When you lock me in your arms
You chain me to your heart
...Oh
It's animal

Like the moon pulls at the tide
I'm at your side
The world in which we live

It's primitive
You got me
Oh
It's primitive
You make me real
Primitive
When you lock me in your arms
You chain me to your heart
...Oh

(Cyndi Lauper, Billy Steinberg, Tom Kelly)

I'm driving home from work
Knowing you're not there
I used to hurry home
Now I don't even care
The sun is in my eyes
So I can't see
But when it sets down behind the
Mountain it's gonna be

My first night without you
My first night without you
My first night without you
Oh... without you

I sit here like a fool
Remembering everything
The way we used to talk
The songs that we used to sing
I've got to try and leave
The past behind
But my memory's so good
I think that I'm losing my mind

My first night without you
My first night without you
And I wonder what I'll do
Oh... without you

Will I be able to sleep
Will I lie in my bed and weep
What if I forget
And reach for you
Will I dream about you
My first night... my first night

My first night without you
My first night without you
And I wonder what I'll do, oh...

My first night without you
My first night without you
And I wonder how I'll get through
Oh... without you

(Billy Steinberg, Tom Kelly, Christina Amphlett)

I lived in your shadow
I drove your car
You thought I belonged in your four walls
I was never your bunny
I was never, never your pet
When you threw me out the window
I landed on my feet
Yeah you threw me out the window
Like a, like a, like a cat

Hey mister you can never own me
I only let you hold me like a cat
And mister you can never know me
I only let you stroke me, like a, like a

You thought I'd be purring
Curled up by your fire
Don't want to be kept for your desire
You said I should be happy
But it only made me sad
And when you could never tame me
That made you mad
No you could never tame me
Like a, like a, like a cat

Hey mister you can never own me
I only let you hold me like a cat
And mister you can never know me
I only let you stroke me

You rescued me I didn't want to be saved
I got tired of your missionary position babe

When you threw me out the window
I landed on my feet
Yeah you threw me out the window
Like, like a, like a cat

Hey mister you can never own me
I only let you hold me like a cat
And mister you can never know me

I only let you stroke me like a cat
And mister you can never know me
I only let you hold me like a

No you never can own me
Like a cat
No you never can own me
Like a cat
No you never can own me
Like a cat

(Cyndi Lauper, Billy Steinberg, Tom Kelly)

I drop my hat
To a restless wind
This time I'm not gonna chase it again
In a jigsaw dream with soft spoken words
I woke up crying and no one heard
You're looking through me like I never was real
You say you love me but you won't let me feel
So I'm gonna take a chance this time
I'm gonna find myself some place where I can heal

And I'm heading west
Without a sad goodbye
And I'm heading west
I'm like a letter with no address
Just like a book I read
I'm heading west

I said my name
Under my breath
He turned down a twisted road
I won't forget
I'm gonna fly my kite and let out all the string
Hold on to hope, let go everything
I can't stop laughing and it's nothing you said
The altitude of freedom seems to go to my head
And if I fall down on my knees I'm gonna get back up
I'm gonna get back up again

And I'm heading west
Without a sad goodbye
And I'm heading west
I'm like a letter with no address
Just like a book I read
I'm heading west

And I'm heading west...
Just like a book I read...

(Cyndi Lauper, Franke Previte, D. Micale)

I look out my window
Into the pouring rain
I wish I could tell you
That I stopped hearing your name
And then I realize every thought of you
Runs a circle around my heart
I hear your voice haunting me
I feel your touch in the dark

It was a night to remember
All your kisses I still taste
It was a night to remember
Can't forget the look on your face
It was a night

Starlight send a message
Like a beacon into the night
To tell you I'm lonely
When I shut out the light
Because a part of me left with you
So I feel lost inside
Sometimes I look into my mirror
I see you shining through my eyes

It was a night to remember
All your kisses I still taste
It was a night to remember
Can't forget the look on your face
It was a night to remember

All these feelings I can't erase
From my heart

Endless dreams
Around my shoulders
I cannot free this restless heart

It was a night to remember
...Not enough time for you to stay...
...Can't forget the look on your face

(Cyndi Lauper, Billy Steinberg, Tom Kelly)

I wanna fall into you
And I wanna be everything
You want me to
But I'm not sure I know how
I lose faith and I lose ground
Then I see you and remember
Unconditional love, love, love
Unconditional love

It doesn't matter what I say
'Cause it always seems you're taking
Me the wrong way
But if you could read my mind you'd see
I fight myself all the time
When I see you I surrender
Unconditional love, love, love
Unconditional love, love

Standing on a wilder shore
I got my head up in the clouds, oh
I ain't got no sense of direction now

I wanna lie next to you
And I wanna do everything you want me to
Sometimes I wish at the sky
I imagine what the clouds look like
When I see you I remember
Unconditional love, love, love
Unconditional love
When I see you I surrender
Unconditional love, love, love
Unconditional love, love, love
When I see you I surrender...
Unconditional love...

(Cyndi Lauper, Franke Previte, P. Chiten)

Holding on to the rhythm
I'm standing in my leather and lace
People move to the left, and
Move to the right, and
The whole place starts to shake

Without a net on a real high wire
I'm stepping out with my heels on fire

I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away

Letting go my inhibitions
Is harder to do than say
But I surrender to the beat
I start shuffling my feet
When I hear that music play

I trip the light fantastic
I touch the sky and it feels like magic

I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away

Give me a dance, dance
Dancing with a stranger
And it takes my breath away

I ain't looking for mister right
It doesn't matter to me
There's something in the air
Electric I like
Igniting endlessly

I started to dance...

Without a net on a real high wire
I'm stepping out with my heels on fire

I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away...

(Diane Warren)

I don't wanna see your face
I don't wanna hear your name
I don't wanna thing
Just stay away baby
Don't wanna know if you're alright
Or what you're doin' with your life
Don't wanna hear that you'll stay in touch maybe

I'll get just fine
So if you're goin' then darlin' goodbye, goodbye

Don't call me in the middle of the night no more
Don't expect me to be there
Don't think that it will be the way it was before
I'm not over you yet
And I don't think I care
And I don't want to be your friend

I'll forget we ever met
I'll forget I ever let
Ever let you into this heart of mine baby
You just gotta let me be
You gotta keep away from me
'Cause all I want to be is just free of you baby
Don't you come around
And say you still care about me
Go now, go now

Don't call me in the middle of the night...

You take it casually, and that's what's killing me
I'll get by just fine
So if you're goin' then darlin' goodbye, goodbye

Don't call me in the middle of the night no more
Don't expect me to be there
Don't think that it will be the way it was before
No, no baby
Don't call me in the middle of the night no more
I don't want to be your friend
Don't think that it will be the way it was before
I don't want to be your friend...

(Cyndi Lauper)

If you think you're hearing something
And you can't think what it is
If you feel a quiet longing
Lift your heart into the wind
There you'll find my kindred spirit
There you'll meet me as a friend
It is just a kindred feeling
And a song to let you in...

(Richard Orange)

I've got a ticket, no turning back
My destination...
The sea of trouble, the land of pain
You're sending me where it always rains
Oh reconsider, I'm begging you, some hesitation
I'm holding on to my sanity
I feel the beginning of emergency
My hands are slipping, oh please don't let me fall into

This hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
You gotta fill it up with love before I fall inside of...
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down

I'm on a planet without a plan
It's oh so lonely
I need to see you to get out of here
There's something deadly in this atmosphere
I'm in a desert, without a drink of your sweet water
You're my oasis in the burning sand
I'm out of danger when you touch my hand
Throw me a lifeline, I'm standing on the edge of...

This deep, dark hole that goes all the way to China
You gotta fill it up with love before I fall inside of...
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
And though you can't see the bottom believe me it's a long way down

The gun was loaded, I didn't know
I pulled the trigger,
I heard a noise then the room went dark
I felt the bullet going in my heart
I feel so dizzy, oh please don't let me fall, don't leave me in

This hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
You gotta fill it up with love before I fall inside of -
This empty hole in my heart that goes all the way to China
And though you can't see the bottom, believe me it's a long way down

I've got a hole in my heart
You've got to fill it up with love

(Cyndi Lauper, Desmond Child, Diane Warren)

I want to know if I'm something to you
Hey, I know I'm not your type
I may come on just a little too strong
But I guess that's 'cause I'm shy

I want to know if I'm seeing something
Or just looking starry eyed
I got to know do you really, really want me
I know what's on your mind

You say I'm insecure
I say I'm just curious
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I guess I'm insecurious
Oh, oh, oh...
Tell me, tell me you're mine
I'm insecurious, oh, oh, oh
An enquiring mind gets insecurious

How can I trust in my intuition
I don't hear what you need to say
I got to know is this feeling fact or fiction
Take these doubts away

You say I'm insecure
I say I'm just curious
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I guess I'm insecurious
Oh, oh, oh...
Tell me, tell me you're mine
I'm insecurious, oh, oh, oh
An enquiring mind gets insecurious

They say there is no cure
For someone so delirious
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I guess I'm insecurious...
