YOU'RE SO INNOCENT
So, what’s running through your mind?
I can see it in your eyes
That there’s something you’re conspiring
Don’t you even try to hide it
So coincidental how you’ve got us cuddled by the fire
 
Put on your smile
You’ve got me now, exactly where you want me
Where you want me
You’re not so innocent after all
But, maybe that’s the way I like you
You’re not so innocent after all 
 
Baby, we can drink some wine
My eyes are cashed already
And it’s barley even nine, well
I’ll be your innocent desire
You’ve got me where you want me
Did you really think I'd mind?
I know your style
You’ve got me now exactly where you want me
Where you want me
 
You’re not so innocent after all
Did you really think I'd be complaining?
You’re not so innocent after all, yeah
So c’mon baby, lets go crazy
No one will believe the way we
Make each other feel tonight
We’re right beside the candlelight
The fireplace is burning out
It’s way too late to turn back now
We’re smashed again inside your room
When all you really had to do was
Put on your smile
You’ve got me now exactly where you want me
Oh, baby, I love your style
You’re not so innocent after all
But, maybe that’s the way I like you
You’re not so innocent after all
So c’mon baby, lets go crazy now
Put on your smile
 
 
SUNRISE
Sunrise
Saturday night, the moon is up and it's shining on my face
God only knows how much I've got to leave this place
Yesterday seems like a dream, so I scream to get out of here
I'm begining to see my life become so clear
Holding me tight, I'm gazing deep into your eye
Can't we stay up from dawn to dusk, until tomorrows sunrise
Burnin' it down from when I wake up to the moment I resign
I'm beginning to see my life before my eyes
Sunrise
Tired eyes
I've been sittin' at this bar all night
Sunrise
Tired eyes
Now, see how much I fill my glass tonight
And everything is blurry in my eyes
I look to my left, there's a lady sittin' next to me
Tryin' to smile as her tears are rolling down her cheeks
I watch as they race down her face from her eyes down to her lips
It was a sight I wasn't able to resist
As I whispered to her gently, she slowly turned to me
I didn't hesitate to ask if she would like something to drink
As I could see, she's alone, her resistance was low and anyone could take her home
When you drink so much, it makes you sink so low
Sunrise
Tired eyes
I've been sittin' at this bar all night
Sunrise
Tired eyes
Now, see how much I fill my glass tonight
 
 
LUCKY
You’re across the sea
Somehow you’re still with me
You just make believe I’ll be your everything
And I know I’m the lucky one
Yeah, I know I’m the lucky one
Do you dream of a better love
When you know I’m the only one?
 
Why are you still here
When I’m the one who always leaves you all without a care?
And you wait your whole life for me
And I know I’m the lucky one
Yeah, I know I’m the lucky one
Do you dream of a better love
When you know I’m the only one?
And you know I'm the only one
Do you dream of me, when I’m here?
And I’m waiting for the sound of your voice
Do I really have a choice?
Now I'm ready for you
Until then…
Do you dream of a better love?
Do you dream of a better love?
Do you dream?
Tell me please
I'm the only one
I'm the only one
Tell me please, please
I'm the only one
Oh, do you dream of a better love?
Do you dream of a better love?
Do you dream of a better love,
When you know I'm the only one
I'm the only one
I'm the only one 
 
 
STOP THE WORLD
Is this real love, or some kind of dream?
'Cause you're right here, but just out of reach
I try to feel, I struggle to breathe
Like I'm running in place, but I can't move my feet
I'm begging you please
Somebody stop the world
I'm trying to get you without falling first
I know I can make it through
Without falling down again
Is this real, or just make believe?
I'm after you, but you've got your lead
Now I ask myself over and over again what's gone wrong?
Oh, please
Somebody stop the world
I'm trying to get you without falling first
I know I can make it through
Without falling down again
And I need to find some way to feel
I need you, oh
Somebody stop the world
I'm trying to get you without falling first
I know I can make it through
Without falling down again
Take my heart, take my soul
Take anything you want
All I am, all I was
You've got me turning and turning out
All I want is to feel anything, everything
All that is you

SECRET
In the dark, I stumble ‘round
There you are, you’ve found me now
For tonight, we can hide
No one will know, so don’t you be shy
Don’t you be shy
 
We can roll around until the sun appears
And then some more, until I disappear
I never thought that I would ever be loving you
It’s a shame I’ve got to leave
Cause I don’t wanna leave
 
Oh, tonight you’re mine
And this moment feels so right inside
But we can never tell a soul
 
We’re friends to them, if they only knew
Where I’ve been, and the crazy things we do
I’ll try my best to hold it in
But you're my sweet surprise, covered in sin
I’ll never hold you in
 
Oh, tonight you’re mine
And this moment feels so right inside
But we can never tell a soul
We can never tell a soul
 
In your room, flat to the bed
It might be wrong, but baby, I don't care
Cause when we're done, we're friends again
So, let's contain ourselves if we can
Oh, I don't know if I can
Until then let's make believe
 
Oh, tonight you’re mine
And this moment fells so right inside
But we can never tell a soul I'm here
Tonight you're mine
And this moment feels so right inside
But we can never tell a soul
We can never tell a soul
I'll never tell a soul
No, we can never, never, never tell
I’ll never tell a soul
No, no, no 
 
4TH OF JULY
Light hits the sky
Reminding me of you last time
But I still see your eyes
Forever fixed on this amazing
Fireworks display with such delight
Last time
 
Fourth of July
I'm wishing you were here with me this time
But you leave me surprised
Now all alone I gaze above
Entranced by this illuminated night
Let's turn back time
Oh, last July
Here we'd lay
Alone at last we kiss the night away
As the band would play
We're lying under this array of every color splashing in my face
Let's turn back time
Embracing all our fondest memories
Fourth of July
With me last July
On the field where we would lay
All the children here still play
While these rockets crash into this starlit backdrop
Somehow it doesn't feel the same
Let's turn back time
Oh, last July

ALL SHE WROTE
After speaking to you so many times
After staying awake just to hold you tight
Sleeping in your bed
You would always have me to rest your head
Kissing you on the cheek every single day
But your lips always seemed so far away
Maybe I said too much
Maybe I tried too hard
You left without a trace
Got a feeling that you’re never coming back
I just can’t live my life, since you went away
So far away
 
Maybe trying so hard just to please you
Wasn’t gonna pay off like I wanted to
Never asked for much
All I really wanted was your touch
I could never forget such a pretty face
Guess I'll never know just how good you taste
Maybe better just to stop this before the start
So, you left without a trace
Got this feeling that you're never coming back
 
I just can’t live my life, since you went away
You made me feel so helpless, since you left me
Oh, it disappeared so fast
But I felt that this would last
I didn’t like you for your popularity
I never liked you cause you were the prom queen
You may look like a girl in a movie I saw
I can’t quite remember the name
But I must say, you do look the same to me
 
You left without a trace
Got a feeling that you’re never coming back
Wiped the smile from my face
Now you’re just a memory
 
I just can’t live my life
Since you went away
I held you close so many times
I wish you were still mine
You seem to be so far away
You seem to be so far away
You seem to be so far away
You’re just too far
 
 
CROSS YOUR HEART
I wish I could read your mind
Then I could figure out just why you lie
You say that you'll have the time
But once again I'm stranded here to die for all your lies
I've fallen for them every single time
Your candles burning to the end, but once again I'm left behind
I'll never fall for this again
I'm right here, but all your friends
They always thought that you were all alone
You stand me up, and you blow me off
Oh, why I even bother Is unknown
All your lies
I've fallen for them every single time
Your candles burning to the end, but once again I'm left behind
I'll never fall for this again
You're swearing on your grave
But once again it's getting late
I know I won't hear from you in days
All your lies
I've fallen for them every single time
Your candles burnin' to the end, and once again I'm left behind
I'll never fall for this again
Tonight I set us up a moonlight dinner for two by candlelight
But you'll never know how sweet I am
You never even gave me a chance
 
 
STUCK
The telephone hasn't shown your name
Or maybe the messages you've left have been erased
I don't know if I could go away
Without a goodbye and disappear without a trace
I hope you get this letter
Because I'm stuck on you
And I know you've thought of me one time or two
All my love was left behind
Am I ever gonna find you waitin' again?
Now these tears flow from my eyes
All for nothing

It's been days since I last spoke to you
I'd go and dial your number time and time again
We'll play these games
Wasting the whole day hoping you'll come by again
I hope you get this letter
Because I'm stuck on you
And I know you've thought of me one time or two
All my love was left behind
Am I ever gonna find you waitin' again?
Now these tears flow from my eyes
All for nothing
She was too scared to fall in love
Too scared to fall in love
She was too scared to fall in love
But she keeps on falling in love
All my love was left behind
Am I ever gonna find you waitin' again?
Now these tears flow from my eyes, oh yeah
All my feeling, left behind
Now I'm never gonna find you waiting again
Now, wipe the tears out from my eyes
Oh, she was too scared to fall in love
 
 
GIRL IN A BLACK DRESS
Open your eyes
So I can see them staring at me for one last time
So much for what you were wearing
I beg for this to last, I swear I'll take it slow
But tomorrow always comes too fast
And I'm lying all alone
I'm all alone
I'm all alone
 
All alone
Ten o'clock was the first time I saw you
You were wearing a black dress
I must confess that I never fell for a girl so fast in my life
I guess, ten o'five you were in my bedroom
Tearing off your black dress
I never thought I would be so close  to a girl that I just met
I always find I dwell upon the past
And I wonder why I always fall so fast?
Tonight, let's make love before it's time to go
Will I see you again?
Tell me when will I see you again?
I know I'm not the first to be with you
But I hope you remember
All the time that we've spent here together
Baby, you were the best that I ever had
But you disappeared so fast
And I want to lie, but I felt that this would last
Tonight, let's make love before the sunlight shows
Will I see you again?
Tell me when will I see you again?
When?

And I wonder why I always fall so fast
Baby, open your eyes, just give me one last dance
Tonight, let's make love before your man comes home
Please, don't ever go
An hour; wondrous time, where there's no need to speak
We save our goodbyes, our secrets ours to keep
But I have to be with everyone I meet
So please stay the night
All night

 
THE LONG DAY IS OVER
The long day is over
The good times have past
And there's nothing left to say
Now I look around
Nothing has changed
But your eyes don't read the same
You got my mind to turn upside down
With just one stare
I can dress you up
I'll take you out, but you just don't care anymore
What for?
I try and try again
'Cause I live only to be with you
Look at the time
Where's it gone?
Seems like yesterday we first met
Now summer's gone cold
And I'm so alone
But, I won't write you off quite yet
You got my mind to turn upside down
With just one stare
I can dress you up
I'll take you out, but you just don't care anymore
What for?
I try and try again
'Cause I live only to be with you
I'm a shooting star
You can wish upon me anytime you want
Now I feel my powers gone
Freefall straight into your heart
Steal your heart tonight
On this cloud that you left me on
And I'm never coming back down
'Cause it feels so right to hold you so tight
But you never ever make a sound
What for?
I try and try again
But I live only to be with you
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
And I'll love you over and over
Over and over
Over and over again
 
Alternate ending:
You can tell me anything you wanna tell me, baby
God knows I'll always be listening
'Cause anything you do to me will always make perfect sense
Oh why, tell me why
It's like I don't give a damn about the world no more
I'm always crazy in love with the enemy
When I've crossed the line and everyone sees my demise
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, not a damn thing
I'll tell you I've tried just to get it right
But you always make it right
And I live only to be with you
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
And I'll love you over and over again
