1. NEVER ENDING LOVE


Chasing your shadow, the senses together,
four-leafed and clever I come from behind.
Chasing your shadow, I wander in circles,
you're one in a million, we're two of a kind.

It's you that I long for, it's you that I hunger,
oh you are the maker of waves in my mind.

We dance in the moonlight, a run on the wire,
drawing a fine line, a neverending love.
The fever turns slowly into a fire, drawing a fine line,
a neverending love.

Chasing your shadow, moon and the water,
field and the reaper, star and the sky.
Chasing your shadow, hammer and heartbeat,
clay and new concrete, I follow the signs.

It's you that I long for, it's you that I hunger,
and you are the maker of waves in my mind.

We dance in the moonlight...

2. CRAZY ABOUT YOU

Ooooo...
I'm crazy about you
I'll give you all my love
Yes I'm crazy about you
Night and day, day and night
I'll be your heart's salvation

Hey baby, let's stay together
Let's make it now and forever
I want to show it and shout it
and tell the whole world about it

I thought it never could happen
I thought you never would see me
You run a lovin' locomotive
You make my needs very primitive

The more I get, the more I want from you,
of your affection
When you're around, I'm in control,
I feel a complete connection

Hello, hello
I'm so crazy about you, you know... baby-]
Hello, hello, hello
Yes I'm crazy, so crazy about you

C'mon close your eyes, honey, trust me!
I want to enjoy your body
I want to take you much higher
and play the game of desire

Well I can't hide
I'm getting hungry for a bite
I'm blinded by this obsession
I keep dancing like your possession

I'll wrap my legs all around you I'll show you total devotion
No need to talk Love will speak to you with sweet emotions

Hello, hello
I'm so crazy about you, you know...baby
Hello, hello, hello
Yes I'm crazy, so crazy about you

3. DO YOU WANNA GO THE WHOLE WAY?


Before we take off all our clothes and get close together
Before it gets too serious both of us need to know
Are we gonna go the whole awy this time?
This time?

Before all secrets are revealed old scars must heal or wither
But it's getting very late and I can't wait anymore
Are we gonna go the whole way this time
Do you wanna go the whole way this time?

This time?

Do you wanna go the whole way now?
We're taking it easy
Do you wanna go the whole way, Babe?
Kick it in, kick it in slowly.

Do you wanna go the whole way this time?
Do you wanna go the whole way for sure
Do you wanna go the whole way this time?
This time?
This time?
Do ya?

4. SEDUCE ME

Don't ever say you do
Don't ever say you want to make me shine
You keep your mystery, don't ever try
to be my guiding light
mmm...

Don't ever say you care
Don't follow when I'm here and everywhere
I'm blinded by your looks but there's a scent
of heartache in the air
in the air...
Hey you!
Walk out through that door
and into that dream
where I met you before
oh oh...

Babe, you seduce me
You take my heart and use me
My feelings all run wild
when you seduce me all the time

Don't ever call me up
I never wanna hear your voice again
Oh lay your pretty hands on someone else

Somebody who don't know you well
know you well...

Hey you!
Your sweet sweet talk can't stay
And get back to that dream
Let's both keep it that way
hey hey...

Oh you seduce me
You pull my heart and use me
And I keep running blind
when you seduce me all the time
Mmmm... get back to that dream
Let's both keep it that way
hey hey...
tell me once again...

You seduce me
You take my heart and use me
My feelings all run wild
when you seduce me all the time
when you seduce me all the time
you seduce me all the time
you seduce me...

5. BRINGING ME DOWN TO MY KNEES


Been thinking about you
Without even trying, I've done it
There's something about you
I can't put my finger on it
Monday was fine and I was on a high

I'm begging you please to ease,
allow your feelings to show, oh oh
You're bringing me down to my knees cos I love you so

If your love is strong I want to be sure about it
Oh is it all wrong to go on talking about it?
Oh you thrilled me
I should be alright but Friday I died when you killed me
You're bringing me down to my knees, oh oh
Love me forever or baby, just let it go, oh oh

Monday was fine, yea the hours went by like a summer breeze
But way down the line you might make up
your mind and it's time to freeze
You're bringing me down to my knees
I've been thinking about you

6. [DO YOU GET] EXCITED?



When the day gets dark
Over a thousand streets
And you feel your heart
Is a living beat

When you're all alone
And you close your eyes
Naked to the bone
The dream comes alive

Do you get excited
When I touch you in the night?
My oh my...
Do you get excited
When I meet you every night?
You won't let the night pass you by

When your body's hot
The window's open wide
This moment's all you got
In this race of life

When you feel the fire
Is getting close to you
Hey baby, you know
I'm lonely too

Do you get excited
When I touch you in the night?
My oh my...
Do you get excited
When I meet you every night?
You won't let the night pass you by

Do you get excited
When I touch you in the night?
My oh my...
Do you get excited
When I meet you every night?
You won't let the night pass you by

I wanna know

I gotta know

7. DROWNING IN YOU


Lead me to the river of love
Pour a little water and wash my pain away
Leave me in the ocean of joy
Water from below I can feel your glow running through
You know that I do I'm drowning in you

Take me to the tide of your heart
Take me to the shore, babe And hold me close to you
Leave me when the sky's getting dark
Water from behind I can feel a fine line from you
You know that I do I'm drowning in you

Say hello, there's no goodbye
If you can't read between the lines
Found a love that I can't hide Oh I've been drowning in your eyes
Honey, honey, honey yea!

Lead me to the gate of your dreams
Put me on a ship that will sail the Lovers' Seas
Water from the brooks and the streams
Water in my face I can taste the ocean of you
You know that I do I'm drowning in you

Say hello...

It's the ocean of you
You know that's it's true I'm drowning in you

8. I NEVER LOVED A MAN [ THE WAY I LOVE YOU]


You're no good, heartbreaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
I don't know why I let you do these things to me
My friends keep telling me you're no good

But they don't know that I'd leave you if I could
I guess I'm uptight but I'm stuck like glue

Cause I never, I never,
I never, no no Loved a man the way that I, I love you

Some time ago I thought you should run out of fools
But I was so wrong you've got one you'll never lose
The way you treat me is a shame,
How could you hurt me so bad?

Baby you know that I'm the best thing that you ever had
Kiss me once again Don't you never say that we're through


Cause I never, I never,
I never, no no, Loved a man the way that I love you...

I can't sleep at night and I can't eat a bite
I guess Ill never be free Since I've got your hooks in me
I never loved a man the way that I love you

You're no good, heartbreaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
I don't know why I let you do these things to me
My friends keep telling me you're no good

But they don't know that I'd leave you if I could...
Kiss me once again Don't you never say that we're through
Cause I never, I never,
I never, no no, Loved a man the way that I love you..

9. LIKE LOVERS DO..


Take the line between us and
hold it close to you,
I want us to get together,
like lovers do.
Let me kiss away your troubles,
the cold and lonely nights,
just take this heart I'm giving
and love is on the rise.

Like lovers do -
want to hold you thru the night,
like lovers do -
and when I look into your eyes,

like lovers do -
oh I'm drowning in an ocean of emotion.

It feels just like forever
since I made love to you,
September days of scarlet,
April morning dew.
So take the love between us
and hold it close to you,
I want us to get together like lovers do...

VIDEO


10. MY WORLD, MY LOVE, MY LIFE


Some days are covered in rain
While other days are made of glory
And you are the summer sun
The only one who knows the story

Do you want to talk about it?
I don't know
Do you want to say some words?
Oh, I can't let go

I'm talking 'bout my world, my love, my life
Every time I try to close my eyes
You just entered my mind
and you lay yourself down beside me... oh why...

Some streets are covered with sweat
there are no regrets
just new connections... ohhh
You are the summer the sun
And I'm the one who wants affection


Do you want to talk about it?
I don't know
Do you want to speak some words?
Oh, I can't let go

I'm talking 'bout my world, my love, my life
Every time I try to close my eyes
You just entered my mind
and you lay yourself down, beside me... oh why...

My world, my life...

I'm talking 'bout my world, my love, my life
Every time... I try to close my eyes
You just entered my mind
and you lay yourself down, beside me... oh why...
You just run through my head
and you lay yourself down, beside me... oh why...

VIDEO


11. YOU TURN ME ON


I wake up in a different daylight
Guess I haven't been around
See me follow the shadow haunting your body
Naked like water - shining like honey
Move me - You turn me on - The thrill of it all
You turn me on - The thrill of it all
You turn me on - The thrill of it all

I read in the paper how everything's changed
But it's all the same - it's out of the game
I reach out and touch an endless temptation
Live in a dream - the strangest sensation
Move me - You turn me on...

The lines I have written are the lines on your face
They merge out of nowhere - and leave with no trace
And I've had the feeling we're turnin' to one
When everything's said - when everything's done
Move me - You turn me on...

You move me - Oh, baby, turn me on

VIDEO


12. TURN TO ME

Turn to me - when your heart breaks away
Turn to me - don't turn me away
When everything's sad and down
When you're looking for somewhere to run
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me
Turn to me - when the moon gets to go
Turn to me - when the story's been told
When everything's dim and grey

And you're hitting a rainbow way
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me
Now that Christmas is here
A shadow of fears
And if you want to seek ....
Turn to me and read these lonely lonely eyes
Why don't you?
Why don't you turn to me?
Turn to me!

13. LISTEN TO YOUR HEART


[Songwriters: Gessle, Per Hakan; Persson, Mats Arne;]

I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
You've built a love but that love falls apart
Your little piece of Heaven turns too dark

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why
But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems
The feeling of belonging to your dreams

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do

I don't know where you're going and I don't know why
But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye

And there are voices that want to be heard
So much to mention but you can't find the words
The scent of magic, the beauty that's been
When love was wilder than the wind

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why
But listen to your heart before

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why
But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye

Listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
Listen to your heart

1. IF EVER YOU ARE IN MY ARMS


It all came so easy
All the loving you gave me
The feelings we shared
And I still can remember
How your touch was so tender
It told me you cared
We had a once in a lifetime
But I just couldn't see
Until it was gone
A second once in a lifetime
May be too much to ask
But I swear from now on
Chorus:
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll love you much better
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll hold you forever

This time we'll never end
Now I'm seen clearly
How I still need you near me
I still love you so
There's something between us
That won't ever leave us
There's no letting go
We had a once in a lifetime
But I just didn't know it
Till my life fell apart
A second once in a lifetime
Isn't too much to ask
'Cause I swear from the heart
Chorus
Never end
The best of romances
Deserve second chances
I'll get to you somehow
'Cause I promise now
Repeat chorus to fade

2. CAN YOU STOP THE RAIN


Here's another morning
without you
Here's another day
will I get through it
without breaking down?
Haven't seen the sun
since you've been gone
Like my heart I lost it
when you left me
and it can't be found

How can I go on?
Baby I've been living
on memories of you and me
All the love we made
All those tender nights
And those endless days
they're all here inside

(chorus)
Baby can you stop
the rain from falling?
Won't you chase
my clouds away?
I'd give anything
to see the sun again
Only you can stop these
tears from falling
I can't face another day
Baby can you stop
Can you stop the rain?

Everywhere I go
I feel you there
following my footsteps
like a shadow
of my broken heart
Sometimes it's a pair
of passing eyes
Or it's just the way
someone is talking
And there you are

Am I all alone?
Don't you ever wake up
and reach for me
where I used to be?
Is there any chance?
I just can't believe
you're not lonely too
just for me and you

(chorus)

If you were here
for only one night
baby I know you'd remember
Cuz loving you once
wasn't time enough
I know we can make
it together, together

Baby stop the rain
Won't you chase
my clouds away?
I'd give anything
to see the sun again
Only you can stop these
tears of mine from falling
I can't face another day
Baby can you stop?

Can you stop?

3. TO NIGHT I CELEBRATE MY LOVE

Tonight, I celebrate my love for you
It seems the natural thing to do
Tonight, no one's gonna find us
We'll leave the world behind us
When I make love to you

Tonight, I celebrate my love for you
And hope, that deep inside you'll feel it too
Tonight, our spirits will be climbing
To a sky lit up with diamonds
When I make love to you, tonight

Tonight, I celebrate my love for you
And that midnight sun is gonna come shining through
Tonight, there'll be no distance between us
What I want most to do is to get close to you, tonight


Tonight, I celebrate my love for you
And soon, this old world will seem brand new
Tonight, we will both discover
How friends turn into lovers, when I make love to you

Tonight, I celebrate my love for you
And that midnight sun is gonna come shining through
Tonight, there'll be no distance between us
What I want most to do is to get close to you

Tonight, I celebrate my love for you
Tonight

4. A WHOLE NEW WORLD



[duet with Regina]

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But, now, from way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
(Don't you dare close your eyes)
A hundred thousand things to see
(Hold your breath it gets better)
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world
With new horizons to pursue
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
(Every turn a surprise)
With new horizons to pursue
(Every moment red-letter)
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Anywhere, there's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me
