1. TIME AFTER TIME


Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you

Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flash back warm night, almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after sometime you pictured me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're callin' to me
I can't hear what you've said
Then you said, "Go slow, I fall behind"
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades
And darkness has turned to grey
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

You said, "Go slow, I fall behind"
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

Time after time

2. GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN


[Songwriters: Hazard, R;]

I come home in the mornin' light
My mother says, "When you gonna live your life right"
"Oh Mommy dear, we're not the fortunate ones
And girls, they wanna have fun
Woah girls, just wanna have fun"

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells, "Whatcha gonna do with your life?"
"Oh Daddy dear, you know your still number one
But girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls, just wanna have"

Thats all they really want
Some fun
When the workin' day is done
Oh girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun

(Girls they wanna)
(Wanna have fun now)
(Wanna have)

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I wanna be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have

Thats all they really want
Some fun
When the workin' day is done
Oh girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun

(Girls they wanna)
(Wanna have fun now)
(Wanna have)

They just wanna, they just wanna
(Girls, girls just wanna have fun)
They just wanna, they just wanna have fun
Girls just wanna have fun

(They just wanna, they just wanna)
They just wanna, they just wanna
They just wanna, they just wanna have fun
(Girls, girls just wanna have fun)
Girls just wanna have fun

When the workin'
When the workin' day is done
Oh when the workin' day is done
Oh girls, girls just wanna have fun

They just wanna, they just wanna
They just wanna, they just wanna
Oh girls, girls just wanna have fun

(They just wanna, they just wanna)
When the workin'
(They just wanna, they just wanna)
When the workin' day is done
(Girls, girls just wanna have fun)
When the working day is done
Oh girl, girls just wanna have fun

(They just wanna, they just wanna)

3. TRUE COLOURS



You with the sad eyes

Don't be discouraged

Oh I realize

It's hard to take courage

In a world full of people

You can lose sight of it all

And the darkness inside you

Can make you feel so small



But I see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful,

Like a rainbow



Show me a smile then,

Don't be unhappy, can't remember

When I last saw you laughing

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

You call me up

Because you know I'll be there



And I see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful,

Like a rainbow



I can't remember

When I last saw you laughing

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

You call me up

Because you know I'll be there



And I see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors, true colors

True colors are shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful,

Like a rainbow

4. INTO THE NIGHT LIFE



Got this endless itch to ride
Into the night
Fortune cookie says I'm right
Kung Fu like

Shake your body, Mister
Gonna make ya body blister
Say hey, hey, hey

Don't wanna have ta make ya
I don't wanna have ta shake ya down
Hey, hey, hey

I'll take ya till ya all spun up
Fit or fat or doesn't matter what you got
I'll take ya till ya all spun up
And in love into the nightlife

I'll take ya till ya all spun up
Turn ya over, baby, till it's never enough
I'll take ya till ya all spun up
And in love, into the nightlife
Love into the nightlife

Want to dress for you tonight
Under the light
Shot up like a satellite
Into the night

Shake ya money maker
I will never be a faker
Now, hey, hey, hey

Leave 'em standing, waitin'
Till they're practically faintin'
Now, hey, hey, hey

I'll take ya till ya all spun up
Fit or fat or doesn't matter what you got
I'll take ya till ya all spun up
And in love and into the nightlife

I'll take ya till ya all spun up
Turn ya over, baby, till it's never enough
I'll take ya till ya all spun up
And in love, into the nightlife
Love into the nightlife

Shirtless wonders wreck my sight
Shirtless wonders wreck my sight

Fit or fat or doesn't matter what you got
I'll take ya till ya all spun up
And in love and into the nightlife

I'll take ya till ya all spun up
Turn ya over, baby, till it's never enough
I'll take ya till ya all spun up
And in love, into the nightlife
Love into the nightlife

Shirtless wonders wreck my sight

5. AT LAST

At last
my love has come along
my lonely days over
and life is like a song

Ooh At last
the skies above are blue
well my heart was wrapped up in clover
the night I looked at you

I found a dream
that I could speak to
a dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill
to press my cheek to
a thrill that I have never known

You smile
you smile
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last

I found a dream
that I could speak to
a dream that I
could call my own
I found a thrill
to press my cheek to
a thrill that I have never known

You smile
you smile
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last

ooo yea
you are mine
you are mine
at last
at last
at last
at last

6. BOY BLUE

You never knew yourself well enough
But she never knew you at all
And when she put you out on your own
It may have stolen your innocence
But not your soul

Tell me where is little boy blue
You'll find him standing always
One step ahead
Fast a little, shy a little, boy blue
Wise blood runs warms and deep
On the street
... Kids walking, just a kid walking

You send a letter with photographs
And I'll tuck them under my dreams
And if we wake up old beyond our years
Not quite as brave as we seem
It's just the pain that never disappears

Tell me where is boy blue
You'll find him standing always one step ahead...

Dance a little, cry a little...

Where are you boy blue
Where are you...

7. MY FIRST NIGHT WITHOUT YOU

I'm driving home from work
Knowing you're not there
I used to hurry home
Now I don't even care
The sun is in my eyes
So I can't see
But when it sets down behind the
Mountain it's gonna be

My first night without you
My first night without you
My first night without you
Oh... without you

I sit here like a fool
Remembering everything
The way we used to talk
The songs that we used to sing
I've got to try and leave
The past behind
But my memory's so good
I think that I'm losing my mind

My first night without you
My first night without you
And I wonder what I'll do
Oh... without you

Will I be able to sleep
Will I lie in my bed and weep
What if I forget
And reach for you
Will I dream about you
My first night... my first night

My first night without you
My first night without you
And I wonder what I'll do, oh...

My first night without you
My first night without you
And I wonder how I'll get through
Oh... without you

8. WHEN YOU WERE MINE


When u were mine
I gave u all of my money
Time after time
U done me wrong
Cause, just like a train
U let all my friends come over and eat
And u were so strange
U didn't have the decency to change the sheets
Oh girl, when u were mine
I use to let u wear all my clothes
U were so fine
Maybe that's the reason that it hurt me so
I know, that you're goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more mine than I did when u were mine
When u were mine
U were kindasorta my best friend
So I was blind
I let u fool around
I never cared
I never was the kind to make a fuss
When he was there
Sleepin in between the two of us
I know, that you`re goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine
When u were mine
U were all I ever wanted to do
Now I spend my time
Following him whenever he's with u
I know that you're goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine.

9. SET YOUR HEART

When your heart is beating black and blue
And a cold world's looking back at you
When you're fading low around the bend
Go on turn around you'll see me
I will always be your friend

Set your heart free
Set your heart free...

Said you can't say much about today
Just that dark cloud coming back your way
And that your dreams are all worn thin
Well, you better stop with all that talk
Before it all starts happening

Set your heart free...
Listen to your heart...

When your heart is beating black and blue
And the old world's knocking down on you
And you're starting to become unglued
Don't go there, come on, you know i love you

Set your heart free...

10. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

I wanna fall into you
And I wanna be everything
You want me to
But I'm not sure I know how
I lose faith and I lose ground
Then I see you and remember
Unconditional love, love, love
Unconditional love

It doesn't matter what I say
'Cause it always seems you're taking
Me the wrong way
But if you could read my mind you'd see
I fight myself all the time
When I see you I surrender
Unconditional love, love, love
Unconditional love, love

Standing on a wilder shore
I got my head up in the clouds, oh
I ain't got no sense of direction now

I wanna lie next to you
And I wanna do everything you want me to
Sometimes I wish at the sky
I imagine what the clouds look like
When I see you I remember
Unconditional love, love, love
Unconditional love
When I see you I surrender
Unconditional love, love, love
Unconditional love, love, love
When I see you I surrender...
Unconditional love...

11. I'LL KISS YOU

Went down to the local gypsy
And I handed her the same line--
'You know what I want from you
So honey won't ya gimme #9'
Cause you know lately I ain't feelin so great--
Last time she gave me love potion #8
And you know pretty baby how I think you're pretty smart
But one sip from this bottle and I'll tear you all apart--
The gypsy told me that the first thing
That would happen you get dizzy
Second thing you better make sure
That your boyfriend isn't busy
Cause you won't wanna eat
And you won't wanna drink
You won't wanna talk
And you won't wanna think
My mother used to tell me not to kiss on this first date
This time when I see you, you know I ain't gonna wait!
I'll Kiss you
Gonna corner you and not let you go
I'll Kiss you
Don't tell me nothing--I--I--don't wanna know
And twidely--dee--and twidely--dum
I'll Kiss you, I'll Kiss you, I'll Kiss you
Hopped into a taxi, and I told the driver
Got to get me cross town
Killed the bottle, started seeing double
When the driver turned around
And though I was a failure with love potion #8
#9 was different and the hour's getting late
Now I'm standing on the corner
Everyone looks great to me
And if you come and get me take me where I want to be--
I'll Kiss you...
...I'll Kiss you
I'll Kiss you
