She's A Runner

Take my soul to the lost-and-found
Girl she made me 
A hand-me-down
Never know 
When she'll come around 
Or what I'll see
No resistance--it's hardly fair
Call my name, honey--
I'll be there
I'll give in to you anywhere..
So foolishly
I could never ever lie to you
I could never even try
I just wanna be beside you
Sweet emotion'll pass you by
Girl she left me alone to cry
I still remember 
How she could make love to me
You see the traces--
They always show
Some may come and some may go
But one of us will never know 
What you see
Never wanted to rely on you
Never wanted you to try
I just wanna be beside you
She's a runner...
Anyone can see
She's a runner...
She run all over me
She's a runner...
You can't walk away
She's a runner..
She can make you stay
I need to listen to my advice
The aggravation 
Ain't worth the price
I can tell ya 
She won't think twice
She gonna knock down, 
Put ya down..oo yea
She's a runner...
Anyone can see
She's a runner...
She tore it out a me
She's a runner...
Watch her walk away
She's a runner...
You can't make her stay

My Kinda Lover

You got me runnin' baby
You give me somethin' 
Way beyond revenue
You put the magic in me
I feel the magic 
When we do what we do
And oh...
I can't do without you for too long...
You're my situation
You're my kinda lover...
You keep me all together
You take me out whenever 
I'm lettin' down
You got the motions baby
I got a notion maybe 
I'll stick around
And oh...
I can never doubt 
You for too long...
I can't see no reason
You're my kinda lover...
When you come 'round 
I never get down---
I fly across the floor
I can see you comin' on me...
And I can't ask for more
Rock me, sock me, 
Baby you got me ridin' to the end
Rake me, shake me, 
Baby you make me--
Turn me on again
You got my motor racin'
I find my thoughts 
Embracin' your every move
I wanna set you reelin'
I wanna make you feel 
the way that I do
And oh...
I been thinkin' 'bout you for so long
I don't wanna lose ya--
You're my kinda lover...

(L.O.V.E.) Four Letter Word

L-O-... whaddo I know
V-E-... she's not comin' back to me
L-O-... I can't let go
V-E-... tell ya what 
That girl don't mean to me
So you see my friend... 
Love is just a four letter word 
Once there were schoolyards 
With children at play
Once there was England... 
And one sunny day
One kinda woman 
For one kinda man
How could I know 
I was not in her plans 
Say love... say love... 
When I was soarin' you urged me to fly
When I was hungry you fed me your lines
Led me to water... you sang me your song
One day when I woke up 
I found you were gone 
Say love... say love...
Say love... say love...
Nobody told me... 
Love is just a four letter word 
L is for losin' the 
Love that you crave
And O is when it's over 
And your heart can't explain
V is for the victim... 
The victim of the crime and
E is every morning when 
You break down on time
So you see my friend... 
Love is just a four letter word 
L-O-... I can't let go
V-E-... friends all say just let it be
L-O-... oo-oo
V-E-... 
Forget your illusions... 
Forget what they say
'Cause all your dreams of happiness 
Have just blown away
Once in a lifetime your spirit will fly
That's what she told me 'fore 
She told me goodbye 
Love... say love
Love... say love
So you see my friend... 
Love is just a four letter word 
L is for losers 
When fortune turns blue
And O is overcomin' 
What you know to be true
V is for the vengeance 
That's left out in the rain and
E is each and every night 
You crumble in pain
So you see my friend... 
Love is just a four letter word
So you see my friend...
I say "Stop - don't say it"
So you see my friend... 
Love is just a four letter word
L-O-... whaddo I know
V-E-... she's not comin' back to me
L-O-... I can't let go
V-E-... tell ya what that girl 
Don't mean to me 
We're just the victims 
Of the powers that be

Can't Get Next To You

Say I can't get next to you
Doesn't matter what I do
You charge me up 
And wring me through
No I can't get next to you 
I feel the heat... you turn it on
I feel the beat poundin'
You make me weak... 
You trip me up
I feel my heart boundin'
Make it so hard on me
Make me too blind to see
Turn on your light... 
Make it so right
Don't leave me lonely... 
I get so lonely 
Say I can't get next to you
Doesn't matter - what can I do
You won't deliver and 
I can't get through
No I can't get next to you 
I climb the walls you're buildin' up
I find your halls alarmin'
You know my weakness... 
You suck it up
Take my heart and chuck it
Gimme one chance to see
Gimme one dance for free
Gimme one night... make it so right
Don't leave me lonely... I get so lonely

Alone In Your Dreams

I saw you last night...
Alone in your dreams
You were so peaceful there... 
Or that's how it seemed
But something is wrong... 
You feel it inside
No one can reach you there... 
But still you can't hide 
'Cause dreams never lie
You can't if you try
It's not often easy to wake up... 
Sometimes 
Don't say goodbye... 
Don't say it's over
Don't say goodbye 
To the dreams of our love
Don't say goodbye... 
Keep dreamin' for us 
A shot in the dark... 
Like ships in the night
So we're both older now... 
Well that's all right
'Cause visions live on 
Where memories have died
We've walked that road before... 
We'll get there this time 
Now I know you tried
You tell me that you've had enough
You think it might be easier 
To just give up 
Don't say goodbye... 
Don't say it's over
Don't say goodbye 
To the dreams of our love
Don't say goodbye... 
Lean on my shoulder
Don't say goodbye... 
Keep dreamin' for us 
Tell ya baby... I can't stop thinkin'
'Bout all those times 
You walked on out that door
Now I don't want you... 
Say I don't need it
But I'll never - no never... 
Let you go 
Don't say goodbye... 
And don't look back
Don't say goodbye 
To the dreams of our love
Don't look back... 
And don't say why
Don't turn back... 
Keep dreamin' for us 
Don't don't oh yeah
Don't don't say why
Keep on dreamin'
Keep dreamin' for us

Don't Say You Love Me

You can't get up - you can't get down
You can't sit still - 
You never settle down 
Don't say you love me -
Just say 'Huh!' 
Your love runs hot - 
Your love runs cold
You can't get loose 
Until you get control 
Don't say you love me - 
Just say 'Huh!'
Don't say you love me - 
Just say 'All right' 
You're scared to win - 
You're scared to lose
You're scared to live 
With the life you choose 
Don't say you love me - just say -
You can't say 'Yes' - 
You can't say 'No'
Your mind's made up - 
You don't know where to go 
Don't say you love me - 
Whatcha say
Don't say you love me - 
Just say 'Huh!' 
I can see you comin' 'round again
I can feel you but I can't say when
I will be there in your now and then

Eye On You

I watch you on the TV -
You're with me every place I go
I'm caught up in the daydream - 
I'm into everyone you know
Turn on the action - 
Grab every minute
Learn every lesson - 
Then live to regret it
I'm so distracted - 
My mind's disengaged
Sharin' the moments 
When you're all the rage 
I got my eyes on you
Got my eye on you... 
Those overnight conditions 
Always get the best of you
You're fuelin' my suspicions - 
I'm taken by the sneak preview
You got the numbers - 
You got no limits
One day you're out 
But the next day you're in it
You find the answers - 
You know what to say
Give us our reason for livin' today 
Chorus 
We share the laughter 
And pain when you're in it
Bring on disaster - 
Cause we know you'll win it
We're all believers - s
So watch what you say
Turn on those feelin's - 
I can't look away 
Chorus

Tied Up

In the heart of the night
 You come on like fire
In the light of dawn 
Leave me cold and tired
When you think of love 
Tell me what you see
And when you dream, 
Do ya dream of me
Feel the passion deep inside
It's in your blood 
And you just can't hide 
You want some lovin' 
But your heart's tied up
Try to run but you can't say stop
Hold me baby - 
Take me higher
Take a chance - 
Set your world on fire
You want some lovin' 
But your heart's tied up 
Now the truth is out - 
Honey can't you see
I'm tied to you 
And you belong to me
But when we get too close 
I feel you push away
Nothin' I do's gonna make you stay
Tears are clashin' - 
Worlds collide
You won't let go 
And you don't know why 
You want some lovin' 
But your heart's tied up
Gimme fever - 
You burn me hot
Touch me baby - walk the wire
Tell me 'No' - 
Then your heart's a liar 
You need some lovin' 
But your heart's tied up
Try to run but you can't say stop
Hold me baby - take me higher
Take a chance - 
Set your world on fire
You need some lovin' 
But your heart's tied up 
Hold me baby - take me higher
Touch me baby - walk the wire
Roll me darlin' - light my fire
Spread your wings and love somebody 
(Repeat chorus 1 & 2)

In The Dark

Life isn't easy from the singular side
Down in the hole 
Some emotions are hard to hide
It's your decision - 
It's a chance that you take
It's on your head - 
It's a habit that's hard to break
Do you need a friend - 
Would you tell no lies
Would you take me in - 
Are you lonely in the dark... 
You never listen 
To the voices inside
They fill your ears 
As you run to a place to hide
You're never sure 
If the illusion is real
You pinch yourself 
But the memories are all you feel
Can you break away from your alibis
Can you make a play - 
Will you meet me in the dark... 
Don'tcha need me... hey, hey
Don'tcha need me... oh yeah
Don'tcha leave me... hey, hey
Don'tcha need me... oh yeah 
You take no interest - 
No opinion's too dear
You make the rounds 
And you try to be so sincere
You guard your hopes 
And you pocket your dreams
You'd trade it all 
To avoid an unpleasant scene
Can you face the fire 
When you see me there
Can you feel the fire - 
Will you love me in the dark...

She Goes Down

She... walks into your life so effortlessly
Makes you swallow... 
She go down 
She make you look - 
She's trouble boy, oh yeah
She'll take your life 
Into her hands, oh yeah 
She goes down - 
She never gets enough
She goes down - 
She never gives it up 
She... laughs at all the things 
You pretend to be
You're a gone boy... 
She's the one 
She got the look - 
She's soul attraction
She'll lead you out across the line
She got the love that comes in colors
She got the touch that's hard to find 
She wrote the book - 
Spells trouble boy, oh yeah
Run for life - 
She'll make your plans, oh yeah 
She goes down - 
She never gets enough
She goes down - 
She'll never give it up
Cause she makes you... 
She go down
Say she'll take you... 
She go down 
She acts out all your dreams
She'll be your fantasy
You're a schoolboy 
In her arms and
She'll teach you
She got the love that comes in colors
She got the touch that's hard to find
She got the gun - 
She's got the power
She'll shoot it up do you dare to try 
She makes you... 
She go down
And she'll break you... 
Stick around 
She goes down - 
She never gets enough
She goes down - 
She'll never let you up
And she'll take you... 
She goes down
And she'll make you... 
She goes down
