|
You wanna be |
|
But deep inside you know |
|
The reason |
|

|
The fear of letting go |
|
The fear of being so |
|
Possessed |

Being hypnotised |

|
Till it drags you to your knees |
|
Temptation |
|
Here come the glare |
|
Here come the glare |
|
I cannot see |
|
I cannot see |
|
When you appear |
|
You dazzle |
|
Poor me |
|
Pity on me |
|
Why don't I know |
|
How to make |
|
These moves |
|
I picked your face |
|
From a thousand smiles |
|
And now the knees |
|
They start to shake |
|
And all the people |
|
Take a look |
|
And once again |
|
I'm thinking |
|
Poor me |
|
Pitiful me |
|
Why don't I know |
|
How to make those moves |
|
I picked your face |
|
From a thousand smiles |
|
And stand there |
|
Vacant |
|
Rooted to the |
|
Stupid floor |
|
And too scared to think |
|
Get out the door |
|
Water |
|
Running |
|
Down my back |
|
Is this what it's like |
|
Before the soldiers attack |
|
I'm gonna sharpen up my act |
|
I'm gonna get ya |
|
Poor me |
|
Pity on me |
|
Why don't I know |
|
How to make |
|
Those moves |
|
I picked your face |
|
From a thousand smiles |
|
Trying to be |
|
The invisible man |
|
And so scared |
|
In case you don't see |
|
Who I am |
|
I don't want the label |
|
Of an also ran |
|
I wanna be the guy |
|
With the flowers |
|
And champagne |
|
Other guys |
|
Run around |
|
They pick and choose |
|
I chose you |
|
And I don't want to lose |
|
I want you |
|
To alleviate my blues |
|
Just as long as you talk to me |
|
Just as long as you talk to |
|
Poor me |
|
Pitiful me |
|
Why don't I know |
|
How to make |
|
Those moves |
|
I picked your face |
|
From a thousand smiles |
|
Why don't I know how to |
|
Make you mine |
|
There's a very old expression |
|
Called |
|
Talking to the wall |
|
And it means |
|
You get no answers |
|
just stone silence |
|
But walls have ears |
|
And you can hear me |
|
When I call |
|
I can feel it |
|
Feel it |
|
In my bones |
|
You really mean it |
|
It is not a hoax |
|
Sham ham |
|
Thank you ma'am |
|
Not for you |
|
You're bona fide ..... ah |
|
You don't come on |
|
In a Trojan horse |
|
No hidden wires |
|
To make me fall |
|
What I see |
|
Is what I get |
|
Straight and true |
|
My solid wall |
|
You keep my chin up |
|
Stabilize my highs and lows |
|
You're extra special |
|
Nothing superficial |
|
You see right through me |
|
Rust |
|
Cracks |
|
Warts and all |
|
Nothing changes |
|
I'm the last word |
|
In what you want |
|
You're as solid |
|
As a wall |
|
And I can |
|
Lean against you |
|
I can tell you |
|
All my troubles |
|
And I know |
|
You'll hear me |
|
Walls have ears |
|
You can hear me |
|
When I call |
|
Talking to the wall |
|
Anybody looking on |
|
They can see |
|
I'm not so good |
|
People in the know |
|
They can see that I miss you |
|
In the night |
|
With no-one to hear me |
|
I'm afraid and I cry |
|
Seasons change |
|
But there's nothing changes my mind |
|
I've been loving you too long |
|
And I can't seem to stop |
|
You are my life line |
|
You make me happy |
|
I said that |
|
I had to say it baby |
|
Who on earth ever held me like you |
|
I'd like to see someone try |
|
Love by you |
|
And no other loving will do |
|
In your time |
|
Baby come back to me |
|
Don't leave this girl |
|
Lost in space |
|
You're the one who could |
|
Guide me out of this maze |
|
In the new edition |
|
I'm gonna rule out friction |
|
I'm gonna get someone |
|
Who understands |
|
I want a heart |
|
Less demanding |
|
Speak your mind |
|
But standing |
|
Cuddling close |
|
Cuddling close |
|
A thinking man's |
|
What I want |
|
In action |
|
And in words |
|
A thinking man's |
|
What I need |
|
And if you can't give respect |
|
It's better we don't start |
|
I've had enough indifference |
|
I I I |
|
That's all I heard |
|
That's all I heard |
|
I want someone |
|
Who listens |
|
No fighting |
|
For position |
|
No other self |
|
To have to satisfy |
|
Oh I wanna be with you |
|
I know that you want me too |
|
Say it's not just for my body |
|
Give me piece of mind |
|
Give me piece of mind |
|
In the new edition |
|
I'm gonna rule out friction |
|
Cuddling close |
|
Cuddling close |
|
I see you body when I look at you |
|
It's breaking me rip |
|
'Cos you say we're through |
|
It's such a shame |
|
If we just had to remain |
|
Friends not lovers |
|
Two people |
|
One state of mind |
|
We can't be friends |
|
Not lovers |
|
No way |
|
Baby I'm not lying |
|
I want you back |
|
I want you back |
|
Maybe baby |
|
You're not aware |
|
Broken hearts |
|
Can get repaired |
|
It's a losing game |
|
If we should have to part as |
|
Friends not lovers |
|
Two people |
|
One state of mind |
|
We can't be friends |
|
Not lovers |
|
No way |
|
Baby I'm not lying |
|
I want you back |
|
I want you back |
|
I see your reasons |
|
I know your fears |
|
People change |
|
I stand here |
|
To be what you want |
|
To be where you are |
|
I just wanna say |
|
We can't be friends |
|
And not lovers |
|
Two people |
|
One state of mind |
|
We can't be friends |
|
And not lovers |
|
No way baby |
|
I'm not lying |
|
|
|
I only see |
|
The side of you you want to show |
|
How do I know |
|
How much to let my feelings go |
|
Cos every night |
|
I have the same good dream |
|
You making love |
|
And the face I see |
|
Looks like me |
|
When you hold me tight |
|
It seems so real |
|
Oh babe I know |
|
I could make you stay |
|
If I could have |
|
One night |
|
And I know I could make you stay |
|
Ready for love |
|
Don't you think of safety first |
|
Be a hero |
|
You could take a chance on me |
|
Cos every night |
|
Here comes my favourite dream |
|
You making eyes |
|
And that courting stance |
|
Is right at me |
|
When you hold me tight |
|
It's all so real |
|
Oh babe |
|
I know I could make you stay |
|
If I could have |
|
One night |
|
And I know I could make you stay |
|
I write it down in invisible ink |
|
I write it down |
|
Everything I want |
|
I keep it private |
|
Don't let nobody know |
|
It's my secret |
|
And I won't let go |
|
It's my secret |
|
And I won't let go |
|
Do you want to join my society |
|
Well you'll be governed |
|
By intelligence |
|
You've got to swear |
|
Be reticent |
|
And answer questions |
|
With a number |
|
And when you talk |
|
No facial expressions |
|
Don't emphasize |
|
You've got to hold things back |
|
And when your friends say |
|
Give me names and dates |
|
Don't give the answer |
|
It's a secret |
|
Keep it safe |
|
Under lock and key |
|
Keep it hid |
|
And it's a mystery |
|
So tighten up on security |
|
Don't run the risk |
|
We won't tell nobody |
|
Though they'll want to know |
|
It's a secret secret |
|
And we won't let go |
|
It's a secret secret |
|
Let's keep this exclusive |
|
A sect for two |
|
It's a secret secret |
|
For me and you |
|
It's a secret secret |
|
|
|
Strange |
|
How everything feels so strange |
|
Since you walked out on me |
|
I should be feeling blue |
|
I should be feeling sad |
|
But strange |
|
So strange |
|
I'm not crying over you |
|
Strange how this space |
|
Once too small |
|
No room to breathe |
|
Now overpowers me |
|
Now I'm free to choose |
|
I only see the walls |
|
Closing in on me |
|
So strange |
|
So strange |
|
I am not missing you |
|
When I was a girl |
|
I dreamed about you |
|
And for a while |
|
You made my life a dream |
|
But now it's all over |
|
And it all seems so |
|
Strange |
|
How the real stories end |
|
No happy ever after |
|
No beginning again |
|
Strange |
|
So strange |
|
So strange |
|
I am not missing you |
