I'VE BEEN DOWN ONE TIME,
AND I'VE BEEN DOWN TWO TIMES,
BUT NOW I'M DROWNING, DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE.

I'VE BEEN HERE SO VERY LONG,
I'VE LOST ALL MY DIRECTIONS.
BUT, BABY, WHEN YOU CAME MY WAY,
I THOUGHT I HAD FOUND PERFECTION.
BUT A STRONG WIND CAME INTO MY LIFE,
IT SURELY TOOK ME BY SURPRISE,
I CAN'T SEEM TO CONTROL THESE TEARS FLOWING FROM MY EYES.

I'VE BEEN DOWN (one time) ONE TIME,
I'VE BEEN DOWN (two times) TWO TIMES,
BUT I'M DROWNING, DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE.

YOU KNOW THAT I DEPEND ON YOU,
FOR OUR LOVE'S AN OBLIGATION.
BUT NOW THAT YOU DESERTED ME,
I'M IN DESPERATION.
BUT I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A BAD LOVE STORM,
IT REALLY TOOK ME BY SURPRISE.
I LOOK AROUND AND ALL I SEE IS WATER COMING OVER ME.

I'VE BEEN DOWN (one time) ONE TIME,
I'VE BEEN DOWN (two times) TWO TIMES,
BUT I'M DROWNING, HEAR ME, DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE.

I'VE BEEN DOWN ONE TIME,
AND I'VE BEEN DOWN (two times) TWO TIMES,
BUT NOW I'M DROWNING, DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE.

DROWNING, YOU KNOW I'M DROWNING.
(Watch your love, watch your love, yeah-hey)
(Watch your love, watch your love)
I'M GOING DOWN FOR THE LAST TIME!

DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE - DROWNING,
DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE - DROWNING,
DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE - FALLING,
DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE - FALLING,
DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE,
DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE,
DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE,
DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE.

WATCH YOUR LOVE, WATCH YOUR LOVE,
WATCH YOUR LOVE, WATCH YOUR LOVE,
WATCH YOUR LOVE, WATCH YOUR LOVE.

DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE - DROWNING,
DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE - DROWNING,
DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE - FALLING,
DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE - FALLING.

ONE TIME.
TWO TIMES.
DROWNING, DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE.
ONE TIME.
TWO TIMES.
I'M GOING DOWN TWO TIMES.
(Drowning) DROWNING, DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE.
I'VE BEEN DOWN (one time) ONE TIME,
AND I'VE BEEN DOWN (two times) TWO TIMES,
BUT I'M DROWNING, DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE.

WHOA!

DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE, I'M DROWNING!
DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE, I'M FALLING!
DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE, YEAH!
DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE,
DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE,
DROWNING IN THE SEA OF LOVE.

WE WERE PLAYING AT A CLUB IN COSTA RICA,
WHERE THE LATIN LOVERS COME TO FIND ROMANCE,
WHEN THE LADY WHO WAS DANCIN' ON THE TABLES LOOKED OUR WAY.

I WANNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, MAMBO TILL DAYLIGHT,
THAT WAS ALL SHE SAID.
BUT WHEN SHE SHOWED US HOW, I ALMOST LOST MY HEAD.

THEN SHE TOOK US TO A LITTLE HACIENDA,
WE WERE HOPIN' THAT HER MAMA WAS AWAY.
THEN THE LADY WHO WAS DANCIN' THROUGH HER GARDEN TURNED TO SAY:

I WANNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, MAMBO TILL DAYLIGHT,
THAT WAS ALL SHE SAID.
BUT WHEN SHE SHOWED US HOW, I ALMOST LOST MY HEAD.

I WANNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, RUMBA BY MOONLIGHT,
THAT WAS WHAT SHE SAID.
AND WHEN SHE TOLD US WHY, OUR FACES ALL TURNED RED.

WE'LL DO THE SAMBA TOO,
AND CHA CHA THROUGH THE ROOM.
BUT WHEN HER MAMA, SISTERS AND BROTHERS DANCED THEY,
THEY BEGAN TO SING:

WE WANNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, THAT WAS WHAT THEY SAID.
AND WHEN THEY ALL SHOWED UP, I KNEW WE'VE BEEN MISLED.

WE WANNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, AY AY AY AY AY,
WE'RE GONNA MAMBO ALL NIGHT, AY AY AY AY AY,
WE'RE GONNA RUMBA ALL NIGHT, AY AY AY AY AY.

I SAID, TANGO ALL NIGHT,
RUMBA IN THE MOONLIGHT, (ay ay ay ay ay)
WE'RE GONNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, (ay ay ay ay ay)
WE'RE GONNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, (ay ay ay ay ay)
OH, RUMBA ALL NIGHT LONG. (ay ay ay ay ay)

IF I HAD THE WINGS OF AN EAGLE,
OVER THESE BROKEN DREAMS I WILL FLY.
IF I COULD BE SHOT LIKE AN ARROW.
STRAIGHT TO YOU, IN YOUR ARMS I WILL LIE.
DON'T YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU?
DON'T YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU SO?

IF I HAD THE STRENGTH OF A LION,
THERE'D BE NO ONE TO KEEP US APART.
AND IF I WAS TO CRACK JUST LIKE THUNDER,
I WOULD SHOUT WHAT I FEEL IN MY HEART.
DON'T YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU?
DON'T YOU KNOW I NEED YOU SO?

NEED YOU SO MUCH,
THE MELODY'S COMING IN CLEAR. (so clear)
AND WITH YOUR TOUCH,
THE MUSIC KEEPS GOING AROUND AND AROUND IN MY EARS.

ALL RIGHT!

DON'T YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU?
DON'T YOU KNOW I NEED YOU SO?

IF I HAD TO LIVE LIFE WITHOUT YOU,
I'D BE LOST LIKE A SHIP IN THE NIGHT.
YOUR LOVE NEVER GAVE ME NO WARNING,
LIKE A BIRD I WAS SHOT DOWN IN FLIGHT.
DON'T YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU?
DON'T YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU SO?

DON'T YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU?
DON'T YOU KNOW I NEED YOU SO? (need you so)

DON'T YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU?
DON'T YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU SO?

DON'T YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU?
DON'T YOU KNOW I NEED YOU SO? (need you so)

DON'T YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU?
DON'T YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU SO?

DON'T YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU?
DON'T YOU KNOW I NEED YOU SO? (need you so)

ME AND BILLY WERE A COUPLE OF KIDS,
NOBODY KNEW ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE DID.
SHARING OUR TOYS AND RIDING OUR BIKES,
WE THOUGHT IT WOULD LAST FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES.

BUT WE GAVE IT ALL UP,
WE GAVE IT ALL UP,
WE GAVE IT ALL UP FOR SCHOOL.

THEN MY FAM'LY HAD TO MOVE OUT OF TOWN,
MADE SOME NEW FRIENDS AND STARTED HANGIN' AROUND.
STARTED STEALING LIKE THE REST OF THE GUYS,
MY FRIEND GOT CAUGHT, I SAW THE FEARS IN HIS EYES.

SO I GAVE IT ALL UP,
I GAVE IT ALL UP,
I GAVE IT ALL UP FOR LOVE.

SHE WAS EIGHTEEN AND I TOPPED HER BY ONE,
SHE SAID SHE'S HEARD ABOUT THE BAD THINGS I'VE DONE.
BUT SHE LOVED ME AND SHE JUST DIDN'T CARE,
BUT ONE NIGHT SHE NEEDED ME AND I WASN'T THERE.

SO SHE GAVE ME RIGHT UP, (gave me right up)
SHE GAVE ME RIGHT UP, (gave me right up)
SHE GAVE ME RIGHT UP FOR LOVE.

AS I LOOK BACK AND WONDER,
HAVE I WASTED MY TIME?
WILL I EVER LEARN THE MEANING OF LIFE,
WILL I LEARN IT IN TIME.

SO I SIT HERE WITH A COUPLE OF BEERS,
WONDERING HOW I'VE LASTED ALL OF THESE YEARS.
YOU'RE BESIDE ME AND IT'S FEELING SO RIGHT,
HOW I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

'CAUSE I GAVE IT ALL UP, (gave it all up)
I GAVE IT ALL UP, (gave it all up)
I GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU.

GAVE IT ALL UP,
I GAVE IT ALL UP,
I GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU.

(All for you, gave it all up for you) GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU,
(All for you, gave it all up for you) SO I GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU,
(All for you, gave it all up for you) GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU,
(All for you, gave it all up for you) SO I GAVE IT ALL UP FOR YOU.
(All for you, gave it all up for you)

(All for you, gave it all up for you)

I WOKE UP THIS EVENIN' AND MY HEAD WAS REELIN'
NOTHING WAS HAPPENIN', I HAD NO FEELIN'
I KNEW THAT I HAD TO BE OUT ON THE STREETS
OUT ON THE STREET

GOT IN MY CAR, LOOKIN' FOR ACTION
BLEW RIGHT DOWN BROADWAY, GOT NO REACTION
TWO COPS WERE FOLLOWING ME OUT ON THE STREET
OUT ON THE STREET

GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND I STARTED WALKIN'
I MET SOME LADIES AND WE STARTED TALKIN'
THAT'S WHY I'M SO GLAD TO BE OUT ON THE STREET
OUT ON THE STREET

I'M SPENDING MY MONEY, TAKING MY CHANCES
GOING TO CLUBS, DOIN' NEW DANCES
WATCHIN' THE FIRE ON MY FEET OUT ON THE STREET
OUT ON THE STREET

WELL, NIGHT TIME IS FADIN', I JUMPED OFF MY MOTOR
SOMEBODY TOLD ME TO TRY THE DAKOTA
THEY'RE JUST LIKE TWO PEOPLE YOU'LL MEET OUT ON THE STREET
OUT ON THE STREET

THEY'RE JUST LIKE VINI* AND ME
OUT ON THE STREET
WOAH! OUT ON THAT STREET!

*SPOKEN*
HEY, I WAS WALKIN' DOWN THE STREET AND YOU KNOW WHAT THIS GUY SAID
HE SAYS, "HEY MAN", HE SAYS "I WANT THAT WATCH!"
I SAID "WHAT? YOU WANT *THIS* WATCH?"
HE SAID "YEAH! I WANT THAT WATCH!"
I SAID "WELL, YOU WATCH THIS, CAUSE I'M GONNA STOMP ON YOUR F--KIN' HEAD!"
AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID TO ME?
HE SAID, "HEY BABY, I'M GONNA STICK THIS KNIFE RIGHT UP YOUR NOSE!"
I SAID "WELL, I DON'T MIND AS THERE'S SOMETHING ON THE END OF IT...".

I WAS SITTING AT THE BAR, TALKING TO A LADY FRIEND,
SIPPING ON A GLASS OF WINE AND MAKING TIME, - YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
THEN MY FAVOURITE RECORD PLAYED AND I TURNED TO WATCH THE CROWD,
BUT ONE DANCIN' LADY MADE ME SPILL MY WINE.
SHE LOOKED SO WILD AND SHE LOOKED SO FREE AND SHE MOVED SO TEMPTINGLY,
ALL THE BOYS HAD JUST ONE QUESTION ON THEIR MINDS;

CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
OH, THE WAY SHE MOVE, I'D LIKE TO RENDEZVOUS HER,
FIND IF SHE CAN REALLY DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES.

(Oo, oo, oo)

AS SHE MOVED AROUND THE FLOOR I KEPT MOVIN' 'ROUND THE BAR,
ALMOST GOT INTO A FIGHT TO KEEP HER IN SIGHT.
WHEN THE DANCE WAS FINALLY THROUGH, FOUND MYSELF EXHAUSTED TOO,
AND I KNEW THAT I'D BE WONDERING ALL NIGHT:

CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
OH, THE WAY SHE MOVE, I'D LIKE TO RENDEZVOUS,
AND FIND IF SHE CAN REALLY DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES.

SOME GIRLS GET OFF BY PUTTING ON A SHOW,
BUT WHEN YOU GET THEM HOME THE SHOW IS OVER.
WELL, ON THE DANCE FLOOR THERE'S NO MOVE THEY DON'T KNOW,
BUT YOU GET HER ALONE AND HER BODY TURNS TO STONE.

SO I FINISHED UP MY DRINK AND WAS HEADING FOR THE DOOR,
WHEN I SW THAT LADY GIVING ME THE EYE.
WELL, WE DANCED THE NIGHT AWAY AND I'M SEEING HER TODAY
AND I HOPE THAT I WILL FIND OUT BY ON BY:

CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
I SAID, CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
(Can she do it like she dances?)
OH, THE WAY SHE MOVE, I'D LIKE TO RENDEZVOUS,
AND FIND IF SHE CAN REALLY DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES.

CAN SHE DO IT LIKE SHE DANCES?
I WANNA KNOW IF SHE CAN DO IT,
I WANNA KNOW IF SHE CAN DO IT,
I WANNA KNOW IF SHE CAN DO IT JUST LIKE SHE DANCES.

OH, COME ON, BABY, DANCE WITH ME ONE TIME,
DANCE WITH ME TWO TIMES,
WELL, IF YOU DANCE WE CAN DO IT ALL OVER THE FLOOR!
(Can she do it like she dances?)
(Can she do it like she dances?)
(Can she do it?)

-"EV'RYBODY DANCE!"

(Sneaking Sally through the alley, oo, oo, oo)
(Sneaking Sally through the alley, oo, oo, oo)

SNEAKING SALLY THROUGH THE ALLEY,
TRYIN' TO KEEP HER FROM SIGHT.
SNEAKING SALLY THROUGH THE ALLEY,
MY BABY CAUGHT ME LAST NIGHT.

I SAID, "I CAN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING FRIENDS,
'CAUSE SOMETIMES SHE LETS ME USE HER CAR."
SHE SAID, "IF YOU CAN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG IN YOUR MIND,
I KNOW YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR.

SNEAKING SALLY THROUGH THE ALLEY,
TRYIN' TO GET AWAY CLEAN. (tryin' to get away)
SNEAKING SALLY THROUGH THE ALLEY,
MY BABY SAW THE WHOLE SCENE.

SO I BEGAN TO TRY AND EXPLAIN,
BUT IT JUST WASN'T, WASN'T MUCH OF A THOUGHT.
NOW I SHOULD FIND ME SOMEBODY NEW, (somebody new)
'CAUSE THIS MAN HAS BEEN CAUGHT.

SHE CAUGHT ME SNEAKING WITH SALLY THROUGH THE ALLEY,
TRYIN' TO GET AWAY CLEAN.
SNEAKING WITH SALLY THROUGH THE ALLEY,
I KNOW YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. (what I mean, what I mean)

(Tryin' to get away)
(Tryin' to get away)
(Tryin' to get away)

(Sneaking Sally through the alley, oo, oo, oo)
(Sneaking Sally through the alley, oo, oo, oo)

I TALK DOUBLE TALK,
ANYTHING'S TROUBLE TALK.
CATCHING MYSELF IN LIES.
MAMA, JUST LOOK AT ME,
THINKING ABOUT KILLING ME,
I SAW IT IN HER EYES.

(Oh , oh, oh)

SHE CAUGHT ME SNEAKING WITH SALLY THROUGH THE ALLEY,
TRYIN' TO KEEP HER FROM SIGHT.
I WAS SNEAKING WITH SALLY THROUGH THAT ALLEY,
MY BABY CAUGHT ME LAST NIGHT.

WELL, I WAS SNEAKING SALLY THROUGH THAT ALLEY,
TRYIN' TO GET AWAY CLEAN.
YOU KNOW, SNEAKING WITH SALLY WITHOUT KNOWING,
MY BABY SAW THE WHOLE SCENE.

(Oh, oh, oh)

AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, MAN?
SHE GOT RIGHT UP TO ME ONE MORE TIME,
SHE SAID,
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE ALLEY WITH THAT SALLY?"
I SAID,
"YOU'LL JUST WAIT TILL TOMORROW AND WE'LL TALK!"

(Sneaking with Sally)

LATELY, I'VE BEEN SO CRAZY,
I WANNA TALK TO YOU,
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

AND LATELY, YOU AIN'T MY BABY,
I WANT A WORD WITH YOU, (I want a word with you)
A MOMENT ALONE WITH YOU.

'CAUSE YOU, YOU WERE A PART OF MY HEAVEN, MY SHINING STAR.
AND NOW, I LOOK AT YOU AND I WONDER JUST WHO YOU ARE.

IT'S NO SECRET,
WHAT YOUR LOVE, (what your love) WHAT YOUR LOVE IS DOING TO ME
IT'S NO SECRET,
THAT YOUR LOVE, (that your love) THAT YOUR LOVE, THAT YOUR LOVE IS KILLING ME.

(Oo - oo)
(Oo - oo)

LATELY, I'VE BEEN SO LONELY,
I NEED A SMILE FROM YOU, (I need a smile from you)
SOMETHING TO PULL ME THROUGH.

BUT WE KNOW, LOVE CAN BE MELLOW,
IF WE CAN JUST TALK IT THROUGH, (we can just talk it through)
IT'S GONNA FEEL BRAND NEW. (feel brand new)

'CAUSE YOU, YOU WERE A PART OF MY HEAVEN, MY SHINING STAR.
AND NOW, I LOOK AT YOU AND I WONDER JUST WHERE WE ARE.

IT'S NO SECRET,
WHAT YOUR LOVE, (what your love) WHAT YOUR LOVE IS DOING TO ME
AND IT'S NO SECRET,
HOW YOUR LOVE, (how your love) HOW YOUR LOVE, HOW YOUR LOVE IS HURTING ME.
(How your love is hurting, how your love is hurting)

IT'S NO SECRET,
WHAT YOUR LOVE HAS MEANT FOR ME.
AND IT'S NO SECRET,
WHAT YOUR LOVE, WHAT YOUR LOVE IS DOING TO ME.

IT'S NO SECRET,
THAT YOUR LOVE IS HURTING ME.
AND IT'S NO SECRET,
THAT YOUR LOVE, THAT YOUR LOVE IS KILLING ME.

IT'S NO SECRET,
HOW YOUR LOVE IS HURTING ME.

LEAVING AGAIN,
I DON'T KNOW WHERE OR WHEN WE'LL MEET AGAIN.

GYPSIES IN FLIGHT,
I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES AND SEE GYPSIES IN FLIGHT.

I SEE YOUR FACE
IN EV'RYONE WHO PASSES, CAN'T TAKE YOUR PLACE.

WITH SOME REGRETS,
OUR AFFAIR HAS ENDED BUT WHO CAN FORGET?

GYPSIES IN FLIGHT,
I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES AND SEE GYPSIES IN FLIGHT.

I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU
FOR SPENDING TIME WITH ME.
AND WHEN THE MORNING COMES,
I KNOW YOU MUST BE FREE.

LEAVING AGAIN,
I DON'T KNOW WHERE OR WHEN WE'LL MEET AGAIN.

GYPSIES IN FLIGHT,
I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES AND SEE GYPSIES IN FLIGHT.

GYPSIES IN FLIGHT, (gypsies in flight)
I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES AND SEE GYPSIES IN FLIGHT.

GYPSIES IN FLIGHT,
GYPSIES IN FLIGHT.

OH MY, I'M RIDING SO HIGH,
I KEEP TELLING MYSELF THAT YOU LOVE ME.
OH MY, I'M UP IN THE SKY,
BUT I STILL SEE YOU SO FAR ABOVE ME.

CHEAP THRILLS, WELL, I'VE HAD MY FILL,
THEY JUST EMPTY YOUR HEART AND YOUR POCKET.
OO-WEE, WELL, IT'S GOOD TO BE
RIDING YOUR LOVE LIKE A ROCKET.

WELL, I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND,
BUT NOW I'M JUST A ONE WOMAN MAN.
BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN,
OOH, I WANNA SEE YOU,
OOH, I WANNA SEE YOU AGAIN.

I KEEP ASKING MYSELF AM I DREAMING?
WE TWO, IT'S JUST ME AND YOU,
