1. TAKE ME TO YOUR HEART

[verse 1]

Are we lovers?
Or only just friends?
Come tomorrow, will I be lonely again?
When you see me, is it love in your eyes?
What 'cha feelin' deep down inside?

[bridge]

Do you think about me (think about me)
when I'm far away do you dream about me
(dream about me)
can I find a way to make you want me
(make you want me)
the way that I want you?
'Cause I think I love you
(think I love you) could you love me too?

[chorus]

Take me to your heart never let me go
If you knew what I'm feelin'
you would not say no
Take me to your heart
never let me go
For your love for your love
is all I need to know

[verse 2]

Can you tell me when you look at me '
if you need me in all honsetly
because I'm certain as sure as can be
I'll make you happy eternally

[bridge]

'Cause I think about you (think about you)
when your far away and I dream about you (
dream about you)night and day can
I make you want me (make you want me)
the way that I want you 'cause
I think I love you (think I love you)
could you love me too?


[chorus x2]

Take me to your heart never let me go
If you knew what I'm feelin' you would not say no
Take me to your heart never let me go
For your love for your love is all I need to know

[short musical solo]

[bridge]

'Cause I think about you
(think about you) when your far away
and I dream about you (dream about you)
night and day can I make you want me
(make you want me) the way that I want you
'cause I think I love you
(think I love you) could you love me too?

[chorus x3]

Take me to your heart never let me go
If you knew what I'm feelin' you would not say no
Take me to your heart never let me go
For your love for your love is all I need to know

2. HOLD ME I YOUR ARMS

We've been trying for a long time
to say what we want to say

But feelings don't come easy
to express in a simple way.
But we all have feelings
we all need loving

And who would be the fool
to say that if you -

Hold me in your arms
I won#t feel better?
If you hold me in your arms
we can brave this storm together.

We both know there's a problem
a problem that we've got to face.
So put your trust in me
lover no-one's ever gonna take your place.
'Cos we all have a problem
we all have fears

But there's always got to be a way.
Yes
we all have feelings

we all need loving

And you would be a fool to say that if you -

Hold me in your arms
I won't feel better?
If you hold me in yor arms
we can brave this storm together.

You only have to hold me
touch me to make me feel so good

You only have to hold me
feel me
to make me feel the way
you know I should.

Hold me in your arms
hold me in your arms

Hold me in your arms
hold me in your arms

When you gonna hold me in your arms
hold me in your arms

Hold me in your arms
hold me in your arms
...

3. MY ARMS KEEP MISSING YOU



You know I've been so lonely every night since you went away

Would you let me down any night
is that the way you're made
girl ?
I keep telling myself it's alright even though I cry

There's no question why
how could I be happy when -

My arms keep missing you
who's been kissing you since you went away ?
My arms keep missing you
I keep wishing you'd come back today.
You said you wouldn't hurt me any way and I believed in you

We said we'd trust each other every day

we'd never be untrue.
But I keep thinking you're telling lies even though I try

There's no question why
how can I be happy when -
My arms keep missing you
who's been kissing you since you went away ?

You know I've been so lonely every night
since you went away
. . .
My arms keep missing you
who's been kissing you since you went away ?
My arms keep missing you
who's been kissing you since you went away ?

4. NEVER GOING TO GIVE UP

[Songwriters: Aitken, Matthew James; Stock, Michael; Waterman, Pete;]

Ooh ooh

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but
You're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye

Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
(Ooh)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)

We've know each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but
You're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

5. WHENEVER YOU NEED SOMEBODY

I'll bring my love to you
I'll bring my lave to you.
I've been stood up and messed around and taken for a fool

But next time round I'm gonna change the rules.
And I don't care about things that people say

It's you I think about each and every day.
It's much too late for you to change your ways

I can't keep holding on expecting you to stay.

When you're all alone and if you're feeling down

Call me
I'll be around!
Whenever you need somebody
I'll bring my love to you

You don't have to say you love me
I just wanna be with you.

Lost inside your love is where I wanna be

I'm just asking you to spend some time with me.
Time and time you say you wanna be free

And you can have some fun

that's okay with me.
You will never know just how good I feel

The joy inside of me makes me feel so real.

When you're all alone and if you're feeling down
. . .

I'll bring my love to you
I iust wanna be with you.
I'll bring my love to you
I iust wanna be with you.

It's much too late for you to change your ways

I can't keep holding on expecting you to stay.
When you're all alone and if you're feeling down
. . .

Whenever you need somebody
I'll bring my love to you

You don't have to say you love me
I just wanna be with you.
Whenever you need somebody
I'll bring my love to you

You don't have to say you love me
I just wanna be with you.

6. WHEN I FALL IN LOVE

When i fall in love it will be forever
or i'll never fall in love in a restless world like this is
love is ended before it's begun
and too many moonlight kisses
seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When i give my heart it will be completely
or i'll never give my heart

and the moment i can feel
that you feel that way too
is when i fall in love with you

Maybe i'm old fashioned feeling as i do
mabye i am living in the past
but when i meet the right one
i know that i'll be true
my first love will be my last


VIDEO



7. TOGETHER FOR EVER


If there's anything you need
All you have to do is say
You know you satisfy everything in me
We shouldn't waste a single day

So don't stop me falling
It's destiny calling
A power I just can't deny
It's never changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life

Chorus:
Together forever and never to part
Together forever we two
And don't you know
I would move heaven and earth
To be together forever with you

If they ever get you down
There's always something I can do

Because I wouldn't ever wanna see you frown
I'll always do what's best for you

There ain't no mistaking
It's true love we're making
Something to last for all time
It's never changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life

Chorus:

So don't stop me falling
It's destiny calling
A power I just can't deny
It's never changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life

Chorus 3x

8. THE ONES YOU LOVE


children cry on the street
they don't have enough to eat
mothers wait for days on end
a hopeless situation they can't mend
is it good for you? is it good for me?
i don't know how the world can sleep
it's just not right to close the door turn out the light
they'd better be the ones you love
the children ought to get some love
if no one else should ever get enough
they'd better be the ones you love
daddy waits there in a line a little work
he hopes to find something wrong

with times like these it's enough to bring a man down to his knees
is it good for you? is it good for me?
i don't know how the world can sleep
it can't be right to close the door turn off the light
(repeat chorus then repeat chorus again)
thinking of the children
you better be thinking about the children better be,
you better be, better be the ones you love better be,
you better be, better be the ones you love yeah,
yeah yeah ...

9. STRONG MAN


My heart starts breaking
When I think of making
A plan to let you go
I keep thinking maybe tomorrow
I’m gonna let you know
But when I think about leaving
I think about losing
The only love I ever knew
Every time I think of you

’’ My heart starts aching
My hands keep shaking
And you know’ you know’ you know

’ It would take a strong’ strong man
To ever let you go ’to ever let you go’
To ever let you go

My heart’s been hurting
When I see you flirting
Every night out on the floor
I keep thinking maybe tomorrow
You’ll grow to love me more
But whenever we’re together

I could leave you never
Even though you treat me cruel
Every time I look at you

’’ repeat
’ repeat

I tried to resist you
When you’re gone’ all I ever do is miss you
Anyone in love would know
Anyone with half a heart
Could never let you go

But I when I think about leaving
I think about losing
The only girl I ever loved
Can’t you tell me why do you hurt me
I guess some people never see
Especially a fool like me

’’ repeat
’ repeat

To ever let you go
I’ll never let you go
’To ever let you go’

10. CRY FOR HELP



She's taken my time
convinced me she's fine

but when she leaves I'm not so sure.
It's always the same: she's playing her game
and when she goes I feel to blame.
Why won't she say she needs me?
I know she's not as strong as it seems.
Why don't I feel a cry for help?
Why don't I hear a cry for help?

I wandered around the streets of this town
trying to find sense in it all.
The rain on my face it covers the trace
of all the tears I've had to waste.
Why must we hide emotions

why must we never break down and cry?
All that I need is to cry for help.
Somebody please hear me cry for help.
All I can do is cry for help.

No need to feel ashamed

release the pain and cry for help.
Cry for help is all I need

all I need is a cry for help.
Cry for help is all I need

all I need is a cry for help.
Why must we hide emotions?
Why can we never break down and cry?

All that I need is cry for help.
I will be there when you cry for help.
Why don't I hear a cry for help?
All that I need is cry for help.
Somebody please hear me cry for help.
All I can do is cry for help.
All that I need is cry for help.
I will be there when you cry for help.
Is it so hard to cry for help?
