Survival

I'll never be an angel
I'll never be a saint it's true
I'm too busy survivng
Whether it's heaven or hell
I'm gonna be living to tell

Here's my story
No risk, no glory

Chorus:
A little up and down and all around
It's all about survival

I'll never be an angel
I'll never be a saint it's true
I'm too busy survivng
Whether it's heaven or hell
I'm gonna be living to tell

So here's my question
Does your criticism
Have you caught up in what you cannot see
Well if you give me respect
Then you'll know what to expect

Chorus

I'll never be an angel
I'll never be a saint it's true
I'm too busy survivng
Whether it's heaven or hell
I'm gonna be living to tell

Here's my story
No risk, no glory

Secret

Things haven't been the same
Since you came into my life
You found a way to touch my soul
And I'm never, ever, ever, gonna let it go

Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much to long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with me

Something's comin' over
Mmm-mmm something's comin' over
Mmm-mmm something's comin' over me
My baby's got a secret

You gave me back the paradise
That I thought I lost for good
You helped me find the reason why
It took me by surprise that you understood
You knew all along
What I never wanted to say
Until I learned to love myself
I was never ever loving anybody else

Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much to long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with me

I'd Rather Be Your Lover

Chorus:
I could be your sister
I could be your mother
We could be friends
I'd even be your brother
But I--I'd rather be your lover
That's right,
I'd rather be yourlover

I don't know where I stand with you
I never ever make any plans with you
I don't know what I mean to you
The only thing I know is I dream of you
And all that I know is
I just don't understand
Why my mmmm happiness
Always lies--in the palm of your hand

Chorus Sometimes I know what your're thinking next
But wouldn't it be better if I loved you less?
Sometimes I think that I made you up
But wouldn't it be better if I gave you up?
And all that I know is
I just don't understand
Why my mmmm happiness
Always lies--in the palm of your hand

Don't Stop

Everything is groovin'
Get up on the dance floor
Got to see you movin'
Let the music shake you
Let the rhythym take you
Feel it in your body
Sing la de da de

Chorus:
Don't stop doin' what you're doin' baby
Don't stop--keep movin'--keep groovin'
Don't stop doin' what you're doin' baby
Don't stop--keep movin'--keep groovin'

Come on join the party
Let the bassline pump you
Bring your body over
Baby let me bump you
I know I can groove you
You know I can move you
Feel it in your body
Sing la de da de

Inside Of Me

I can't stop thinking of you
The things we used to do
The secrets we once shared
I'll always find them there
In my memories

But this heartache isn't going anywhere
In the public eye I act like I don't care
When there's no one watching me
I'm crying

Chorus:
I will always have you
Inside of me
Even though you're gone
Love still carries on
Love
Inside of me

I keep a picture of you
Next to my bed at night
And when I wake up scared
I know I'll find you there
Watching over me

When my world seems to crumble all around
And foolish people try to bring me down
I just think of your smiling face
I'm flying

Chorus

When my world seems to crumble all around
And foolish people try to bring me down
I just think of your smiling face
I'm flying

Human Nature

You wouldn't let me say the words I longed to say
You didn't want to see life through my eyes
Your tried to shove me back inside your narrow room
And silence me with bitterness and lies

Did I say something wrong?
Oops, I didn't know we couldn't talk about sex--(I musta been crazy)
Did I stay too long?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't speak my mind--(What was I thinking)

Chorus:
I'm not sorry--(I'm not sorry)
It's human nature--(It's human nature)
I'm not sorry--(I'm not sorry)
I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me--(It's human nature)

You punished me for telling you my fantasies
I'm breaking all the rules I didn't make
You took my words and made a trap for silly fools
You held me down and tried to make me break

Did I say something true?
Oops, I didn't know we couldn't talk about sex--(I musta been crazy)
Did I have a point of view?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about you--(What was I thinking)

Forbidden Love

I don't, don't care if it's not right
To have your arms around me
I want to feel what it's like
Take all of you inside me

Chorus:
In your eyes, forbidden love
In your smile, forbidden love
In your kiss, forbidden love
If I had one wish love would feel like this

I know, that you're no good for me
That's why I feel I must confess
What's wrong is why it feels so right
I want to feel your sweet caress

Chorus

If I only had one wish
Love would always feel like this
Wishing on the stars above
Forbidden love
If I only had one dream
This would be more than it seems
Forbidden love

Chorus

Heaven forgive me
Never forbid me--love should always feel like this

Love Tried To Welcome Me

These are my hands
But what can they give me?
These are my eyes
But they cannot see
These are my arms
But they don't know tenderness
And I must confess
That I am usually drawn to sadness
And loneliness has never been a stranger
To me

Chorus:
Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
Guilty of lust and sin
Love tried to take me in

These are my lips
But they whisper sorrow
This is my voice
But it's telling lies
I know how to laugh
But I don't know happiness
And I must confess
Instead of spring--it's always winter
And my heart has always been
A lonely hunter

But still love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
Covered with dust and sin
Love tried to take me in
Love tried to break me

And I must confess
Instead of spring--it's always winter
And my heart has always been
A lonely hunter

But still love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
I was guilty of lust and sin
Love tried to take me in
Covered with dust
Covered with sorrow
Covered with pain

Sanctuary

Who needs the sun
When the rain's so full of life
Who needs the sky
When the ground's open wide
It's here in your arms
I want to be buried
You are my sanctuary

Who needs a smile
When a tear's so full of love
Who needs a home
With the stars up above
It's here in your heart
I want to be carried
You are my sanctuary

Who needs the light
With the darkness in your eyes
Who needs to sleep
With the stars in the sky
It's here in your soul I want to be married
You are my sanctuary

Is all of this pain so necessary
You are my sanctuary

Who needs the sun
Who needs the sky
Who needs to sleep
You are my sanctuary
You are

Bedtime Story

Today is the last day
That I'm using words
They've gone out
Lost their meaning
Don't function anymore

Let's...
Let's...
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious honey

Today is the last day
That I'm using words
They've gone out
Lost their meaning
Don't function anymore

Traveling
Leaving logic and reason
Traveling
To the arms of unconsciousness

Chorus:
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious
Let's get unconscious honey
Let's get unconscious

Words are useless
Especially sentences
They don't stand for anything
How can they explain how I feel
Traveling, traveling--I'm traveling
Traveling, traveling--leaving logic and reason
Traveling, traveling--I'm gonna relax
Traveling, traveling--in the arms of unconsciousness

Chorus

And inside
We're all still wet
Longing and yearning
How can I explain how I feel?

Chorus

Traveling, traveling--in the arms of unconsciousness

And all that you've ever learned
Try to forget
I'll never explain again

Take A Bow

Take a bow
The night is over
This masquerade is getting older
Lights are low
The curtain's down
There's no one here
(There's no one here there's no one in the crowd)
Say your lines
But do you feel them
Do you mean what you say
When there's no one around
Watching you, watching me
One lonely star
(One lonely star you don't know who you are)

Chorus:
I've always been in love with you
I guess you've always known it's true
You took my love for granted why oh why
The show is over say good-bye
Say good-bye, say good-bye

Make them laugh
It comes so easy
When you get to the part
Where you're breaking my heart
Hide behind your smile
All the world loves a clown
(Just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown)
Wish you well
I cannot stay
You deserve an award for the role that you played
No more masquerade
You're one lonely star
(One lonely star you don't know who you are)

Chorus

All the world is a stage
And everyone has their part
But how was I to know
Which way the story'd go
How was I to know you'd break
You'd break, you'd break, you'd break
You'd break my heart

Chorus
