Good girl on a bad day
She needs love in a bad way
Victim in a red dress
She won't give no more
And won't take no less
Walking up the west side
She bought a ticket for the long ride
Well she's ripe for the take

But it's no show, late night
Talkin' 'bout no go, red light
When she put on a show
How far will she go
She says yes when she means no

Under the gun
She can't walk away
She can't run, mmm
Under the gun, yeah, under the gun

She's got wicked intentions
She'll use less than conventional ways
She'll do things I can't mention
But there are some games
That she just won't play
Walking on the wild side, wild side
She bought a ticket for the long ride, long ride
Yeah she's mine for the take

But it's no show, late night
Talkin' 'bout no go, red light
When she put on a show
How far will she go
She says yes when she means no

Under the gun
She can't walk away
She can't run
Under the gun, yeah, under the gun

Under the gun
Now, she can't walk away
You can't run
Under the gun, under the gun

When she put on a show
How far will she go
She says yes when she means no

Under the gun
She can't walk away
She can't run
Under the gun, yeah, under the gun

Under the gun
She can't walk away
You can't run
Under the gun, under the gun

Under the gun
Now, you can't walk away
You can't run
Under the gun, under the gun

Under the gun
You can't walk away
Under the gun

Brother, always reaching far too high
But I can see the tragic side, and it ain't easy
And brother you won't let anybody help
Why do you sacrifice yourself?
You can't go on this way

Tell me why, oh why?
Why don't you open up your heart?
Let the light from inside
Show us who you are

And when it looks like rain
And when the dark clouds fill your sky
There ain't no good reason why
You've got to feel the pain
Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the sun's gonna shine
Even when it looks like rain

Hey sister, another story must be told
Just count the blessings you still hold
What's done is done
Hey sister, you can find the one you need
Don't have to live the life you lead
Don't be the lonely one

Tell me why, oh why?
Why don't you open up your heart?
Let the light from inside
Show us who you are

And when it looks like rain
And when the dark clouds fill your sky
There ain't no good reason why
You've got to feel the pain
Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the sun's gonna shine, oooh

Don't get down and don't get washed away, oooh
Just remind yourself every day
That into each life
A little rain must fall
So let it rain
Rain, oooh
Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the sun's gonna shine
Even when it looks like rain
Rain, rain, rain
When it looks like rain . . .

When I was young and the world belonged to me
I thought that love meant pain and jealousy
It was a cross on my shoulder
Oh Lord, now I feel so much older, oooh, oooh

Time had a way of making me see
My lonely life has taken it's toll on me
Now I feel the emptiness
And I don't want to live like this

Now I've heard stories, I've heard songs
Telling me believe my heart don't wait too long
But words they don't ring true
Until there was you

Never will I lose this heart's desire
Ever will I feed our love's fire
Only when I know that you'll be mine
Until the end of time

How do I trust what I'm beginning to feel?
How deep my soul, how much can I reveal?
I'm lost in love's mystery
Caught between time and eternity

Now there's a door that opens wide
Slowly I will find my way and reach inside
But I couldn't make it through
Until there was you

Never will I lose this heart's desire
Ever will I feed our love's fire
Only when I know that you'll be mine
And only when I see the light of love shine
Until the end of time

Never will I lose this heart's desire
Ever will I feed our love's fire
Only when I know that you'll be mine
And only when I see the light of love shine
Never will I lose this heart's desire
Ever will I feed our love's fire
And when I see the light of love shine
In your eyes when they meet mine
Only then I'll know it's you and I
Until the end of time

One little white lie
One white lie surrounds us
One white lie won't stop the love
That I feel around us

Darlin', do you think about me
What I feel for you, don't you ever doubt me
You see the lock on the door
Of this heart, but you hold the key
I need the trust you can give
Is there something that you need from me?

One little white lie
One white lie surronds us
One white lie won't stop the love
That I feel around us

Secrets, and the way we keep them
Between you and me
Promise we'll never need them
I can see something so true
No one else could ever see
And I'll never chance losing you
I believe my heart, I hear what it's telling me

One little white lie
One white lie surronds us
One white lie won't stop the love
That I feel around us

One little white lie
One white lie tears us apart
One white lie won't stop the love
That's waiting in this heart
That's waiting in this heart

Temptation leave us alone
'Cause I know you're always there
But white lies can weigh like stone
And in this world I hear them everywhere

One little white lie, ooh yeah
One white lie surronds us
One white lie won't stop the love
That I feel around us

One little white lie, one lie
One white lie tears us apart
One white lie won't stop the love
That's waiting in this heart
That's waiting in this heart

One lie, one lie
One little white lie, one white lie
One white lie, one little white lie

Instrumental

Days, times we will remember
When innocence was lost
We let our hearts move on
So many dreams we thought would last forever
Today it doesn't matter
All those dreams are gone, they are gone, oooh
Tell me how it feels again
Oh, show me that it's real and then

I'll walk away, from my own reflection
The stranger that I knew
The stranger that was you
And now I face a cold return to sender
A truce but no surrender
A voice that won't ring true, where are you? oooh

I reach over the edge
And throw a penny in the wishing well
It's so deep that I can tell

That in the real world
There's fewer stars in the sky
And in the real world
You can get hear children cry at night
This is the real world

There is no time, for a life of solitude
Only hunger and survival
In the world we were born into, we're alone, oooh

And it brings me to my knees
Our father lay me down to sleep
Father please
Pray the lord my soul to keep

Keep us in the real world
Keep us in the real world
Don't have to tell you
In the real world
They'll damn you if you try
In the real world
Let it begin with you and I

This is the real world
There's fewer stars in the sky
This is the real world
You can get hear children cry at night
Now in the real world
They'll damn you if you try
And in the real world
Let it begin with you and I
Living in the real world
Yeah, living in the real world

So I walk another mile down this crooked road
Clouds rolling in Lord it's getting cold
Feeling fine, feel lost, feeling blue tonight
But my only friend is Mr. Moonlight
Then I see you girl lost in your book of poems
You're in another world,
I should leave you alone
My heart races on I try and hold it back
But like a runaway train I'm about to jump the tracks

Now you say you need a friend
I swear to you if that's what you need
That's what I'll be
But I hope this never ends
I feel there's something more the way
You look at me

And that's all I need to know
I won't question why don't need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes
That's all I need to know

Now we're talking 'bout angels that have lost their wings
This melancholy world and the nature of things
But them there's only silence when your eyes meet mine
Sends a shiver to my soul runs deeper than time

Reciting from your black book you were like some wounded bird
I tried to catch your heart as it fell between your words
You tore out one page and let it blow away
Then you disappeared into your world
It's a place I just can't stay

You say you need a friend
I swear to you if that's what you need
That's what I'll be
But I hope this never ends
I feel there's something more the way
You look at me

And that's all I need to know
I won't question why don't need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes
That's all I need to know

All I need to know
I won't question why don't need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
But it's right here in my heart
That's all I need to know

That's all I need to know
I won't question why don't need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes
That's all I need to know

All I need to know
I won't question why don't need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
But it's right here in my heart
That's all I need to know

That's all I need to know
That's all I need to know
That's all I need to know
All I need to know

I can feel these four walls around me
I can feel them closing in on me
But I know there's someone out there
Ready and waiting
For the chance to set me free

I don't want nothing
Ain't looking for no one
You walk into my life

Well I ain't no hopeless romantic
I've gotta listen to my cautious heart
I've been dealing with my illusions of love
I built it up and then I tear it apart

And I feel this rising suspicion
That my heart will ever rule my mind
Well I'm guilty of love
By my own admission
Come on girl let me do my time

Hey, when I call you
I need to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, when I fall through
I need to fill the hole in my soul

Don't need no sisters of mercy
They set me off like a loaded gun
Ain't nothing in this world possessing me
Honey you're the only one

Can't live in this empty sadness
It's more than we can endure
Well wise men say
That love is madness
Come on girl I say that love is the cure

Hey, when I call you
I need to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, when I fall through
I need to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, without you
I will fall through the hole in my soul

Hey, when I call you
I need to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, when I fall through
I need to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, without you
I will fall through the hole in my soul

Hey, I need you
I need you to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, I want you to fill the hole in my soul
Hey, hey, hey, I need you to fill the hole in my soul

As I gather my thoughts
With the pieces of my heart
Tell me, how long is forever
I'm not afraid and I won't be torn apart
We've had our time together

Now I make my new beginnings
I'll start again at any cost
I've learned a lot from losing you
But I've got nothing if I'm lost

And I keep hoping
And I still believe in love
If I wait long enough
I know I'll be strong enough
Yeah, I keep hoping
I believe in faith and trust
I'm gonna find a way
There are better days still ahead of us
I keep hoping

Now this candle burns low
It won't last through the night
But I've found peace
And I know it's all right
I try to understand
What's been missing in my life
Between the darkness and the daylight

No I'm not expecting miracles
I've got my doubts like any other one
I've learned a lot from losing you
But I've got nothing if I'm lost

And I keep hoping
I still believe in love
If I wait long enough
I know I'll be strong enough
And I keep hoping
I believe, I believe in faith and trust
There are better days, better days, around of us now, still ahead of us, aaah
I keep hoping, I keep hoping
I keep hoping
I keep hoping and praying baby, oooh
And I still believe in love

I keep hoping, I keep hoping baby, oooh
I'm gonna find a way
I keep hoping, I keep hoping baby
There are better days, ooh, better days
I keep hoping, hoping and praying
And I still believe in love
I keep hoping, I keep hoping
I keep hoping . . .

Seeing you, watching you
Watching me
I hold back my emotions
I keep them veiled in secrecy
I can't let go of this thing we've started
Wasn't looking for love
No conspiracy of the broken hearted
I don't know how far to go
Until I'm gone, gone, gone

I couldn't see the danger
It was just a little taste of temptation
I could not read the silence
That was written on your face
But here comes that feeling again

And there's nothing more I can do

I keep running the risk of losing you
There's nothing more I can say
I'm still running the risk of you walking away

I'm lost drowing in a sea of emotion
I've got one simple need
I need you to feel my devotion
I don't know ho far to go
Until I'm gone, yeah gone

It's a complicated picture
I'm all tangled up in temptation
I couldn't read the silence
That was written on your face
But here comes that feeling again

And there's nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
There's nothing more I can say
I'm still running the risk of you walking away

I'm running the risk of losing you
I'm walking this tightrope
You're my only hope
There's nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
Losing you

And there's nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
There's nothing more I can say
I'm still running the risk of you walking away

I'm running the risk of losing you
I'm walking this tightrope
Darling, you're my only hope
There's nothing more I can do
I keep running the risk of losing you
I'm running the risk of losing you

I'm telling you honey
This heart of mine can't run the risk
Of losing you again
Everything have made you do
I'm still running the risk of losing you

Rescue me
I can't dream this dream any more, my dream oh my dream
Set me free
I keep holdin' on but
I don't know what for

All I know
Is that I've breathed your name for what feels like a lifetime
I can't let go, you're a part of me

And I die each time
I lose a little more of you
And I look for a sign, to give me hope
We'll find a love we once knew

And all I know
Is when we're face to face when there's no one between us
With one last embrace, we'll let time heal the pain

Keep your hand on my heart don't let go
I can't see you're too close to me
Don't leave me in the dark, keep your hand on my heart
Oh please, only you, lonely me

It's not enough, to simply talk about love
As if it were in our control
Now as I struggle with the past, I can't think about the future
It's so hard to let go

And all I know
Is I still whisper your name, girl it won't be the last time
As our lives go separate ways
And let time heal the pain

Keep your hand on my heart don't let go
I can't see you're too close to me
Don't leave me in dark, keep your hand on my heart
Oh please, only you, lonely me

Keep your hand on my heart don't let go
I can't see you're too close to me
Don't leave me in dark, keep your hand on my heart
Oh please

Keep your hand on my heart don't let go
I can't see you're too close to me
Don't leave me in dark, keep your hand on my heart
Oh please, only you, lonely me
Only you, lonely me
