Welcome to the party, there's a new kid in town
Looking like a million, gonna bring your burden down
And he's talking about love, stamping out hate
He's gonna fight for the welfare state
He's got a vision of a better day
Rip up the past and throw it all away

Welcome to the party, there's a feeling in the air
Can't you feel the vibrations, bringing everybody here
We got the right face at the right time
Leading from the front, racing for the line
This train's a rolling so get on board
C'mon everybody, you know that you'll be heard

Oh oh, there ain't no better place to go
And all the doors are open wide
So come on in, don't you worry about a thing
You can't fight against this tide
Say welcome to the party tonight

Welcome to the party, where the future's looking bright
See the people comming from the left and from the right
'Cause everybody knows there's got to be a change
So many things we've got to re-arrange
We've got to bring a sense of freedom back
for everybody, yellow white or black

Oh oh, we'll be watching the fat cats roll
when all of the dogs have had their day
Can't you see, tomorrow's down to you and me
So don't you hang around outside
Say welcome to the party tonight

You're gonna love the show, I know
So won't you step right up today, yeah yeah

Welcome to the party, there's a new kid in town
Looking like a million, gonna bring your burden down
And he's talking about love, stamping out hate
He's gonna fight for the welfare state
He's got a vision of a better day
Rip up the past and throw it all away

Oh oh, there ain't no better place to go
And all the doors are open wide
So come on in, don't you worry about a thing
You can't fight against this tide
Say welcome to the party tonight

So don't you hang around outside
Say welcome to the party tonight
(come on in!)

I feel the wind blow on the corner
And I'm looking down along this dead end street
All the people are getting older
But they don't give a damn their lives are incomplete

It don't look no better than it did before
And I know what's happening behind each door

If I don't get out today, I'm gonna waste my life away
And that's a part that I can't play

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town, I can feel it driving me away
Baby you and me were meant for higher ground, we've got to steal away

As a young boy I didn't fit in,
and I knew it then I wouldn't be the same
But that was only in the beginning
And as the time rolled on deeper grew the pain

So give me one good reason why I should stay
I think I've got enough money for the late night train

There's a world you've never seen, but I've been there in my dreams
It's calling out to me

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town, I can feel it driving me away
Baby you and me were meant for higher ground, we've got to steal away

(Solo)

If I don't get out today, I'm gonna waste my life away
I'm gonna waste my life away, and that's a part that I can't play

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town, I can feel it driving me away
Baby you and me were meant for higher ground, we've got to steal away

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town, I can feel it driving me away
Baby you and me were meant for higher ground, we've got to steal away

You and me baby, we've got to steal away, turn it on, turn it on

Tell me why you have to be watching me nearly all the time
'Cause even when I look in the mirror now, I see you standing behind
That's right, that's right had enough of accusations and fights
Got me wound up tight so don't wait up for me on Saturday night, yeah

I don't know why you're feeling the way you are, but something made you change
I tried to re-assure you so many times, but now I'm tired of the game

That's right, that's right keep telling me I have, then I might
You can say what you like just don't wait up for me on Saturday night

You keep on saying you've lost your faith in me
Keep on telling me where I'm s'posed to be
But now I've got to the point where I just don't care

Every time I pick up the telephone, I hear you there on the party line
You ask me if I'm sleeping with all your friends, but they ain't no friends of mine
That's right, that's right had enough of accusations and fights
Got me wound up tight so don't wait up for me on Saturday night, listen honey

You keep on saying you've lost your faith in me
Keep on telling me where I'm s'posed to be
But now I've got to the point where I just don't care
Yeah yeah

Don't wait up, 'cause I won't be home baby
Don't wait up, 'cause I won't be home
Don't wait up Saturday night, mmm
I won't be home,
I won't be home,

Mama, tell your children not to go
Down to the city, where the
desperate people go
And mama, don't let them stray
They won't find, peace of mind, in
such a lonely place
Wannabes and losers, all trying to get
a break
They don't give a damn, they'll do
whatever it takes
If they climb the ladder, they get to
play for higher stakes
That's why there's low life in high
places

Mama, things have changed since
you were young
When you scream, in the dead of
night
Now no one ever comes
And a poor man, he's cast as the
villan and a thief
See him down on the street, begging
for enough to eat

Waiting on the corner, I saw her
waiting for the man
When the limo pulled up I saw what
was changing hands
I should've tried to warn her, and
make her understand
There is low life in high places

There is low life, like you never even
knew
There is low life, and it lives in me and
you
But we don't all let it through

Don't let 'em go, you've got to have
some pity
Don't you let 'em go
You've got to keep 'em away, from
the big bad city

(SOLO)

Waiting on the corner, I saw her
waiting for the man
When the limo pulled up I saw what
was changing hands
I should've tried to warn her, and
make her understand

Mama, tell your children not to go
Down to the city, where the
desperate people go
And mama, don't you let them stray
They won't find, peace of mind in
such a lonely place

Well my temperature's rising and my feet are on the floor
Twenty people knocking 'cos they're wanting some more
Let me in baby, I don't know what you've got
But you'd better take it easy, this place is hot

I'm so glad we made it, I'm so glad we made it
You've gotta gimme some lovin' (gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' (gimme gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' every day

Well I feel so good, everything is sounding hot
Better take it easy 'cos the place is on fire
Been a hard day and I don't know what to do
Wait a minute baby, it could happen to you

I'm so glad we made it, I'm so glad we made it
You've gotta gimme some lovin' (gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' (gimme gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' every day

Well I feel so good, everybody's getting high
Better take it easy 'cos the place is on fire
Been a hard day and nothing went too good
Now I'm gonna relax honey, everybody should

I'm so glad we made it, I'm so glad we made it
You've gotta gimme some lovin' (gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' (gimme gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' every day

Gimme some lovin' (gimme some lovin') I need it
(Gimme gimme some lovin') I need it
Ooh, gimme some lovin', every day, every day

Empty city, it's calling your name
Wheel of fortune, sucking you into
the game
It's a fatal attraction, that pulls you
like a moth to the flame

Empty city, sitting waiting in the hills
Babylonian, promising all kinds of
thrills
Here they all know what they want
And they chase it with a passion that
kills

Empty city, what's easy come don't
let it go
Count your money, every day it
seems to grow
Build a wall around your dream, get
a gun, don't let nobody close
Are you happy with the life that you
chose?

She came in from the desert and the
dust
And now she's trying to stay afloat
on a crazy sea of lust
It's hard to love a city when that city
has no heart
It'll rape your mind and sell your
body
It'll tear your soul apart, tear it apart

'Cos when you scratch through the
surface
You won't find a damn thing
underneath
And everybody's moving on, that's
why I believe
It's an empty city, it's an empty city

(Solo)

Empty city, it's calling your name
Wheel of fortune, sucking you into
the game
It's a fatal attraction that pulls you
like a moth to the flame
'Til you've forgotten your name,
where the streets are lined with pain
But I can't stay away

It's an empty city, empty city

I can see the fading sun
Sinking at the edge of town
And it's one more day that's gone
I'm thinking 'bout the past
And the time that slipped away
But I can't change what I've done

Chasing after foolish dreams
I should've let go but I just can't seem to stop
I don't deserve your loving baby
I don't know why you stay

There's a child within the man
And it's keeping me keeping on
Yet you always understand
The future can't be planned
But I'm gonna keep fighting on
While I've still got two strong hands

Maybe I'll change someday
Maybe I'll chase those dreams away
I need you by my side now baby
'cos you're the price that I won't pay

Girl you're the only one to light a fire inside me
You're the only woman that can make me feel this way

I want to stay with you forever
I'll never let you go
Until my dying day

(Solo)

Chasing after foolish dreams
I should've let go but I just can't seem to stop
I don't deserve your loving baby
And I don't know why you stay

Hey baby you're the only one to light a fire inside me
You're the only woman that can make me feel this way

I want to stay with you forever
I'll never let you go
Until my dying day
Until my dying day

I don't deserve your loving baby
I don't know why you stay
I need you by my side now baby
'cos you're the price that I won't pay

I don't deserve your loving baby
I don't know why you stay
I need you by my side now baby
I don't know, I don't know

Once in a while, I drift in time
To a place in my memory, that it still
hurts to find
I was taking on the world with a see-
through smile
But dying on the inside all the while
I was, dying on the inside all the
while

Like a martyr that don't want
sympathy
I locked away my feelings, and
threw away the key
It was gonna take a miracle to pierce
my pride
And you were the tower of strength
to try
When your loving washed right over
me like the tide

And now I believe in love (I believe
in love)
I believe in love (I believe in love)
You're the reason why I can
Cos when I look, at myself, in the
mirror
I see a better man
A better man
Yes its hard finding words that can
say how I feel about you
I don't care if it sounds like another
old cliche
But I can't stand the thought of
living my life without you
For even a day

Oh baby

And now I believe in love (I believe
in love)
Yes I believe in love (I believe in
love)
You're the reason why I can
Cos when I look, at myself, in the
mirror
Oh baby
When I look at myself in the mirror
When I'm looking at myself in the
mirror
I see a better man

When you walked in dressed to kill, with a smile upon your face
I thought my luck was about to change, the way you walked into my place
But it seems like I was wrong, still you wanna make me wait
Make your move or get out that door, 'cos baby it's getting late

I move a little to the left
You move a little to the right
And it's been that way all night
I'm gonna call your bluff
Baby do you want me?
Does it feel like love?

Blowing hot like a desert wind, then you're cold like a winter day
What you want I don't know, but you keep coming 'round to play
If there's something on your mind, then I don't know what it is
Still you keep saying "take your time", but girl we haven't even kissed

I'm only flesh and blood
You know the way I'm feeling,
Lord I feel so good
Why d'you make it so tough?
Baby do you want me?
Does it feel like love?

Does it feel like love when I hold your hand?
'Cos I just don't understand
Why you've been holding back so long
Won't you tell me for pity's sake
How long are you gonna take?
You don't know how you turn me on

(Solo)

I move a little to the left
You move a little to the right
And it's been that way all night
I'm gonna call your bluff
Baby do you want me?
Baby do you want me?
Tell me
Does it feel like love?

Does it, does it, does it, yeah

Does it feel like love?

Get up and dance to the music!
Get on up and dance to the music!
Dance to the Music, Dance to the Music

All we need is a drummer,for people who only need a beat
I'm gonna add a little guitar to make it easy to move your feet
I'm gonna add some bottom, so that the dancers just won't hide
You might like to hear my organ playing "Ride Sally Ride"
You might like to hear the horns blowin',Cynthia on the throne, yeah!
Cynthia & Jerry got a message they're sayin': All the squares, go home!

Dance to the Music, Dance to the Music

It was early in the evening, I was
waiting for a train
I was thinking to myself as I watched
the pouring rain
I need love, but I don't know where
to get it
Then underneath this big umbrella
she walked in the waiting room
I just had to tell her though it might
have been too soon
I need love and I think I might have
found it

She was some kind of priestess with
a black dress on
With her film star kind of features, she
really turned me on

And if it takes until forever and a day,
I've gotta make that woman mine
If I don't tell her then I'll wish my life
away, she's so fine, she's so fine

I said don't misunderstand me, I didn't
mean to make you blush
But when I got this feeling, I knew I
had to rush
I need love, and you know I want to
give it

I've been waiting for a lifetime for a
woman like you
I know I'm walking on a fine line, but
I've got to see it through

If I should pass away tonight while I'm
asleep
At least I'll know I spoke my mind
I'm being driven by some other force
that won't be denied, she's so fine

(Solo)

She's so fine

I've been waiting for a lifetime for a
woman like you
I know I'm walking on a fine line, but
I've got to see it through, through

She's so fine, she's so fine, she's so
fine
Ooh, I took one look at you baby,
babe it feels so good inside
She's so fine, makes me feel good...

Exotic melody, that I heard drifting on the breeze
It seemed to carry me along
and there she was just dancing on the beach
And she could really move
(Get down, get down, get down)
you know the way she made me feel
(Get down, get down, get down)

I was taken away on the wings of love
She was hitting me harder than a powerful drug
I was a passenger in first class, on a flight of fantasy
She was the pilot of my dreams

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

I thought I heard a symphony and I saw the sun turn fire red
I swear that I saw time stand still
But it was only in my head
Ooh, well, I was inside out now
(Get down, get down, get down)
you know the way she made me feel
(Get down, get down, get down) - yeah

And my head it was spinning like a spinning top
She was dragging me under, but I couldn't stop
I didn't know where I was going, but it felt so right to me
She was the pilot of my dreams

(Get down, get down, get down)
you know the way she made me feel
(Get down, get down, get down)
you know she made me feel so good
(Get down, get down, get down)
so good, I've got to know her name

I was taken away on the wings of love
She was hitting me harder than a powerful drug
I was a passenger in first calss, on a flight of fantasy

(Taken away on the wings of love) - she was the pilot of my dreams
(Hitting me harder than a powerful drug) - yeah
Didn't know where I was going, but it felt so right to me
She was the pilot of my dreams

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
that woman's gonna carry me away
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,
yeah
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,
yeah, yeah
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na,
mmm baby
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Move it baby, move it mama

Let me tell you 'bout this girl I know
She ain't nothing like any girl you've
known before
'Cos everybody wants her
In her dress or her old blue jeans
When you see her you'll be coming
apart at the seams
'Cos everybody wants her

She's got everything a man could ask
for, she's animal and innocence
She could wrap you 'round her little
finger
She's sharp as a knife, you ought to
see her dance

Chorus:
(Everybody wants her) Everybody
wants her, they make it plain to see
(Everybody needs her) Everybody
needs her, she don't know it, but
she wants me

The first time that she passed my
way
I got so nervous that I couldn't find
a thing to say
'Cos everybody wants her
She's told so many guys to sling their
hook
But I've been watching her eyes and
I've seen her look
She knows everybody wants her

I'm never wrong with my intuition,
I'm gonna say what I have to say
I got it worked out to the letter, I
know I can make her see it my way

chorus - she wants me

(Solo)

She's got everything a man could ask
for, she's animal and innocence
She could wrap you 'round her little
finger
She's sharp as a knife, boy you
ought to see her dance
You ought to see her dance

chorus

(Everybody wants her) Everybody
wants her
I got to tell you that the woman
makes it plain to see
(Everybody needs her) Everybody
wants her, she don't know
(Everybody wants her) Everybody
wants to be her man
(Everybody needs her) Everybody
needs her, but she wants me
That's the way it's gotta be, just her
and me, together baby
We're together, you and me...

I was running late for a night
downtown
Me and the boys gonna tie one down
So I took a short cut through an
alleyway
And this sound just took my breath
away

There she stood with just one guitar
Looking much too good to be in this
bar
I tried to leave but my feet were
lead
And the song she played just filled
my head

'Cos when she sang out that melody,
I heard a sound like a backstreet
symphony
My senses sung my head was spun,
as I walked through the door
I gotta hear some more

So I watched the show in a state of
trance
Staying 'til the end waiting for a
chance
To meet with her and make her mine
And keep her there 'til the end of
time

When she unfolded that melody, I
heard a sound like a backstreet
symphony
My destiny had guided me through
the bar room door
I got to hear some more, I wanna
hear some more

(Solo)

'Cos when she sang out that melody,
I heard a sound like a backstreet
symphony
My destiny had guided me through
the bar room door, through the door
I gotta hear some more, I got to got
to got to got to hear some more
Backstreet love...

Laying down in this Spanish bar, that last slammer hit me like a car
I've got the 6 a.m. Balearic blues, can't even focus on my own tattoos
I had a fight with this German guy, I saw him give my little girl the eye
While he was trying hard to be so cool, I hit him with a stool

Oh yes, alright, I'll be going all night
Gonna drink 'til they take me away, I'm an Englishman on holiday

Every year I get to do the same, I meet the boys and get on the plane
We like to sing and shout out "here we go"
'Cos they're the only words that we all know
We've got the loudest shirts you've ever seen
We're gonna take the beaches like a team
We've got so much duty free to drink, enough to float a ship

Oh yeah alright, I'll be going all night
So light the paper, get out of the way, I'm an Englishman on holiday

We never look for trouble at the start, but it always comes our way
We've got our pride and we just can't walk away

(Solo)

This morning I woke up inside a cell
They dragged me screaming out of my hotel
I don't remember what it was I did
But I've got this drummer banging in my head
I've got to get out 'fore I miss the plane, next summer I'll be back again
I'll be fighting for the Union Jack, if they let me back

Oh yes, alright, I'll be going all night
Gonna drink 'til they take me away, I'm an Englishman on holiday...

When you get up late for work in the morning
And somebody's broken into your car
Makes you feel like killing
Maybe you'd be willing
But you don't have to take it that far

Stand up, say who cares and stand up
Cos when things drag you down
You can't take it sitting down
Stand up

You catch you girl making love with the postman
And they're doing it in your very own bed
She says he's giving her a letter,
I think you should forget her
And go out with her sister instead

Stand up, kick the cat and stand up
Don't go crying on the floor,
Just kick them out the door
And stand up


Every now and then boy
You gotta take it on the chin
It's just another symptom ofthe world we're living in
Everydays a battle,
Sometimes you're gonna bruise
But if you let it get you down you'll lose
Stand up

Sit down


Sunday morning you relax with the papers
All week long you've been working so hard
Then you can't believe what you've seen on the page
About a road they're gonna build through you yard

Stand up, shout about it stand up
you don't have to beg them please
Don't go down on your knees
Stand up
If they're gonna tread on you
make them think before they do
Stand up

Stand up, dont take it lyaing down
Stand up

Should you ever change your mind
About leaving everything we had behind
It don't matter, for whatever length of time
I'll be waiting

Things are always gonna change
Every day is like another unread page
So if you ever feel the gypsy in you age
I'll be waiting

Cos I'm sure one day, that you're gonna find
That there's an answer to the questions in your mind
And when you realise that the answer's inside
I'll be waiting

So don't you cry now,don't be sad
Just keep the memory of the good times that we had
You might discover,going back aint all that bad
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting forever

Cos I'm sure one day, that you're gonna find
That there's an answer to the questions in your mind
And when you realise that the answer's are there inside
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting

Should you ever change your mind
About leaving everything we had behind
It don't matter, any place or any time
I'll be waiting
Mmm I'll Be waiting
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting

There's a man with a flash car living
right next to me
He's got so much, he keeps it under
lock and key
And he don't give a damn about the
people he turns away
He's too busy making money to give
them the time of day

Gonna get a heart attack 'cos he
works late all the time
I swear he doesn't know his kids, his
wife thinks it's a crime
It's not the way for me, taking life so
seriously
When the end comes I wanna be
laughing on judgement day

I was thinking 'bout the time when I
couldn't afford a beer
And wondering why there's so many
women 'round here
Then the truth stepped up and hit
me like a ton of lead
Now the children of the night want
to know me, there's a price upon my
head

Well you know it makes me laugh 'cos
I've been around a while
I ought to make her happy before
I'm out of style
'Cos now I've got a dream to sell,
she got her feet in the wishing well
Bite the apple and you get to hell,
laughing on judgement day
I'm gonna laugh that day away

(Solo)

You know he's gonna get a heart
attack 'cos he works late all the time
I swear he doesn't know his kids, his
wife thinks it's a crime
It's not the way for me, taking life so
seriously
When the end comes I wanna be
laughing on judgement day

'Cos now I've got a dream to sell,
she got her feet in the wishing well
Bite the apple and you get to hell,
laughing on judgement day
I'm gonna laugh that day away

In the quiet of evening I start to drift away,
Imagining a place where you'll be starting off your day,
I fight the distance with a picture in my head,
But I don't know when I'll see you,
I guess I'll have to dream instead,
You're so far away,

If I could be I'd be with you,
Even if for just one day.

Cos if I close my eyes and dream on,
I can fool myself in sound and vision,
Like a satellite reaching out through the night,
I could almost be touching you.

And when we're talking long distance on the phone,
You know it makes me feel like I'm not so alone,
The situation never causes me pain,
The communication that we have is on another plane,

All the waiting makes me stronger,
And the time between us flies

Whenever I close my eyes and dream on,
I can fool myself in sound and vision,
Like a satellite reaching out through the night,
I could almost be touching you.

If I could be I'd be with you,
Even if for just one day,
Those miles between us,
They'd just start fading away.

Whenever I close my eyes and dream on,
I can fool myself in sound and vision,
Like a satellite reaching out through the night,
I could almost be touching you.

Wake up on the floor like you did before
And you don't know what today is
So you shut out the sun until the day is done
But you can't run away from it

You must've done it all this time
And nothing's really changed
You pushed reality away
And still wake up to find
It wasn't all in your mind

And it's always the same
Another bad movie now
You'll go crawling back again, oh
Like a moth to the flame

Take it to the edge, stumble on the ledge
You're a candle that has to burn
Cos you bought the dream
And from the way that it seems
You're living in that other world

Where everything is beautiful
And someone else will pay
But you won't find an answer there
Cos the question still remains
You better hear what I say

Do you feel like the rain ?
Always coming down now
Don't you tell me it's a game
Cos I don't believe it
You're a moth to the flame

(SOLO)

Where everything is beutiful
And someone else will pay
But you won't find an answer there
Cos the question still remains
You better hear what I say

And it's always the same
Another bad movie now
You'll go crawling back again, oh
Like a moth to the flame

Don't you tell me it's a game
Cos I don't believe it
You're a moth to the flame

Looking down from the mountains and out to the sea
You're aware in a moment, you're nothing in the scheme

Chorus:
But your vanity told you, you're more than a dot
And your arrogance keeps you, from thinking that you're not
So when it hits you, you're fading away
Cos you won't live forever, start living for today.

And the seasons are changing, faster all the time
Every day seems to pass by in the wink of an eye

Old man on the corner, laughing like a child
Clinging to a bottle, his broken eyes wild
Kept on a laughing, the people turned away
But he knows something we don't, he's living for today

So you crawl through your lifetime, a slave to the grind
But time overtook you, and left you far behind

So don't bother running, the moment is gone
Eats you like a cancer, but still you struggle on
Why try to fight it, you're dying anyway?
The future doesn't matter when you're living for today

(SOLO)

Are you living for today?

Looking down from the mountains and out to the sea
You're aware in a moment, you're nothing in the scheme

But your vanity told you, you're more than a dot
And your arrogance keeps you, from thinking that you're not
So when it hits you, you're fading away
Cos you won't live forever, start living for today.

You're fading away
You're fading away

Start living for today
Start living for today.

Just try to live for today and don't hurt anybody...

Is it true, what they say
All about the way you are, when I'm far away
Let me know, say it ain't so, that's alright
Cos I believe, just what I see
And every little thing you do, looks fine to me
Let me know, say it ain't so, that's alright

Cos it'll take more than a whisper
To make me question you
But everybody's talking, and I need to know the truth

Tell me I'm the only one, til I know they're wrong
Look me in the eye and say, no one's going to take my place
Tell it out clear and strong, that I'm the only one, yeah.

Now I know, but I don't know why
In the face of jealousy, people cheat and lie
If that's true, then I don't blame you, that's alright
Cos a grand investigation, ain't what I'm gonna do
Cos it's only speculation, without a hint of proof

Just tell me I'm the only one, til I know they're wrong
Look me in the eye and say, no one's going to take my place
Tell it out clear and strong, that I'm the only one

I've got to be the only one, yeah yeah

Mmmmmm I gotta know

Tell me I'm the only one, til I know they're wrong
Look me in the eye and say, no one's going to take my place
Tell it out clear and strong, that I'm the only one

I wanna know (tell me I'm the only one)
Mmmmm I wanna be the only one (look me in the eye and say)

Say it out clear and strong, that I'm the only one
Woo, come on, ha ha


I'm going to be the only one

So tired of waiting I walked an empty
land,
I was looking for something to help
me understand,
But bad luck kept turning,
My dreams into sand,

I didn't want pity,
I had my share of friends,
I wanted somebody,
More special than the rest,
I was aching inside,
Like I was approaching the end,

Just about that moment,
The timing was so right,
You appeared like a vision,
Sent down to my life,
I thought I was dreaming,
When I saw you that night,

That's when love walked in through
my door,
That familiar feeling I had once
before,
Love walked in through my door,
And it felt so strange,

It's hard to remember being on my
own,
That kind of loving makes a hard man
lose control,
But I sleep so much better,
Now I'm not alone,

So promise me baby,
You're always gonna stay,
I don't think I could take it,
Seeing you walk away,
You don't need to doubt it,
I remember that day,

That's when love walked in through
my door,
I found just what I wanted,
But I got so much more,
Love walked in through my door,
And it felt so strange,
Like a long lost friend that hadn't
changed,
Giving me hope again,
Love walked in,
Love walked in,
Love,

Just about that moment,
The timing was so right,
You appeared like a vision,
Sent down to my life,
I thought I was dreaming,
When I saw you that night,

That's when love walked in through
my door,
That familiar feeling I had once
before,
Love walked in through my door,

Love walked in through my door,
That familiar feeling I had it once
before,
Love walked in through my door,
And it felt so strange,
Like a long lost friend that hadn't
changed,
Giving me hope again,
Love walked in,
Love walked in,
Love,
Love walked in,
Love walked in.

I should've seen it coming now
Should've known it would happen
this way
If I'd trusted my initial instincts
Then maybe you'd be here today

Cos the more that I gave
The more I could see a change
You only wanted my love
When you thought I might take it
away, I'm afraid

Now I'm drowning in a river of pain
Slowly going down
All I did was love you too much
So now I'll remain
Stranded here forever
Drowning in a river of pain

I don't know when it happened now
Suddenly you'd taken control
One day I was pulling your strings
girl
Then the next you had a grip on my
soul

So I let myself go baby
Cos my heart wouldn't be denied
There was distance in your eyes
And your touch turned fire to ice, no
surprise

That I'm drowning in a river of pain
Here with my regrets
Going round and round in my head
But still I remain
Stranded here forever
Drowning in a river of pain

(SOLO)

Somehow when you saw the other
side of me
Then I lost my mystery

Now I'm drowning in a river of pain
Slowly going down
All I did was love you too much
So now I'll remain
Drowning in a river
Oh I’m drowning

I see you walking by, you've got
that faraway look in your eye
It was only yesterday, like a cheap
suit you were all over me
I should know better by now my
friend, just what I mean to you
You've been running in and out of
my life so long
I don't want nothing to do with you

Chorus:
I don't need your dirty love, I don't
want you touching me
I don't want your dirty love, it's
enough, trying to live with the
memory

Na na na na na na na, na na na na
na na na na

Chew me up, spit me out, you
turned my whole world inside out
There's a name for girls like you
You belong in the gutter, I know that
you do
Baby I've had enough lies to last the
rest of my days on earth
So now you're gonna get what you
deserve

I don't need your dirty love, I don't
want you touching me
I don't want your dirty love, it's
enough

I know there ain't no way I'll stay,
we were gonna break it up some day
And that day is now, baby I'm
getting out
So don't you cry now, sigh now
'Cos you've been living a lie now
when I'm not around

(Solo)

You've been running in and out of
my life so long
There ain't no way I'll stay, no way

chorus

Na na na na na na na, na na na na
na na na na
Na na na na na na na, na na na na
na na na na, I don't need your dirty
love

So get out, I've packed your bags, I
left 'em at the door
So get 'em out, start walkin'...
