DAN HILL: SEDUCES ME [ 11.]






Daniel Grafton "Dan" Hill IV (born 3 June 1954) is a Canadian pop singer and songwriter. He had two major hits with his songs, "Sometimes When We Touch" and "Can't We Try", a duet with Vonda Shepard.

Hill was born in Toronto, the son of social scientist and public servant Daniel G. Hill, and brother of the author Lawrence Hill. He studied guitar in his teens, leaving high school at 17 to work as songwriter for RCA. At one point he was working for the Ontario provincial government, delivering office supplies, while performing at the Riverboat at night. In 1975, he released his first album, Dan Hill, which produced a Canadian hit single, "You Make Me Want to Be".

In 1977 Hill recorded the ballad "Sometimes When We Touch". He also wrote the lyrics and was assisted in the music by Barry Mann for the album from the same year, Longer Fuse, and it was released as a single. It was Hill's biggest hit, peaking at #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and leading to Hill's appearances on The Merv Griffin Show and The Mike Douglas Show. Tina Turner covered the song in 1978 on her album Rough.

Another one of his hit songs was "It's a Long Road", which he recorded for the 1982 action movie First Blood. In 1985, he was one of the many Canadian performers to appear on the benefit single "Tears Are Not Enough" by Northern Lights. Although he had many hits in his native Canada, further singles did not fare as well in the United States, where, after "Let the Song Last Forever" in late 1978, he went almost a decade without cracking any of Billboard's singles charts.

In 1987, Hill returned to the Billboard Hot 100 with the Top 40 hit "Can't We Try", a duet with the then-unknown Vonda Shepard (her last name was incorrectly spelled "Sheppard" on the label). It peaked at #6 on the Hot 100. He also had a near Top 40 hit with "Never Thought (That I Could Love)". Both records reached #2 on the Adult Contemporary chart and set the stage for Hill to have three more top 10 U.S. AC hits through 1991's "I Fall All Over Again," though he did not make the Hot 100 again after "Never Thought (That I Could Love)."

A road trip to a Hill concert was the subject of the 1994 Canadian comedy film, South of Wawa.

In 2007 he toured with the CBC Radio program The Vinyl Cafe.

Hill was a lifelong friend of writer Paul Quarrington, and the two also occasionally performed together as a folk music duo, billed as Quarrington/Hill. The pair's final collaboration, a song about death called "Are You Ready", was completed just ten days before Quarrington's death in early 2010, and will be featured in a forthcoming television documentary, Paul Quarrington: Life in Music.

1.     NEVER THOUGHT

Can I touch you?
I can't believe that you are real
How did I ever find you?
You are the dream that saved my life
You are the reason I survived
Baby...

I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I love you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
Someone as much as I need you
I love you...

Can I hold you?
Girl your smile lights up the sky
You are too beautiful for the human eye
You are the dream that never dies
You are the fire that burns inside
Baby...

I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I love you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
Someone as much as I need you
I love you...

You are the sunshine in the sky
You are the sparkle in my eyes

I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I need you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
Someone as much as I need you
I love you.

   2.     I WANNA MAKE LOVE TO YOU

I see you when you think no one sees.
I feel you (so close) every time you breathe.
I need you more than I needed anyone, it's true.
I wanna make love to you.

Walking down some crowded street,
Your laughter (so pure) sounds like a symphony.
Desire sweeps through me tryin' to stay cool, it's true.
I wanna make love to you. wanna make love to you.

And it feels like we've waited so long
Just to see what we really feel.
Girl, with you by my side,
My world comes alive.

You whisper (so soft) something I can't repeat.
Your skin brushes close, touches mine so innocently.
The sun burns hot, need some relief, it's true.
I wanna make love to you (you're so close).
Wanna make love to you (wanna be a part of you).

And it feels like I've waited a lifetime
Just to tell you what's on my mind.
It's so hard to reveal
All the passion I feel.

I wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love, oh.)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love to you.)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love.)
(let me hold you till you're a part of me.)
I wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love.)
(till you're in ecstasy)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love to you.)
(you're eyes are so soft and sweet.)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love.)
(let me hold you till you're a part of me.)
I wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love.)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love to you.)
Wanna make love to you. (I just wanna make love.)

  3.     HEALING POWER OF LOVE


Do you believe in the healing power of love,
Or is it just a fantasy?
Do you believe in the power from above?
feel it between you and me.
And I don`t have to look in your eyes to know
There`s something going on here
that`s out of our control

This is happening too fast for us to fight.
There`s a healing power (healing power)
deep in all of us.
In the darkest hour (darkest hour)
we can still rise up (still rise up).
There`s a new horizon shining
between you and me.

When you slip your hand in mine,
I feel the rub of the healing power of love.
(healing power)
And we got nothing but love to pull us through,
Love and compassion (ooh,
love and compassion),

But in this desperation world nothing else will do.
Oh, we can make it happen
(only we can make it happen).
And you don`t have to say a word,
I understand (I am yours only).
When you lay down,
your love lasts forever (waiting forever).

You will always be my woman,
and I will be your man.
There`s a healing power
(healing power) deep in all of us.
In the darkest hour (darkest hour)
we can still rise up (still rise up).
There`s a new horizon shining
between you and me.

When you slip your hand in mine,
I feel the rush of the healing power of love.
Deep in the night, when we`re so alone,
I swear I feel the power that`s
Greater than our own.
And how a love unfolds
as we tumble through the darkness
to the great unknown.

There`s a healing power
(there`s a healing power) deep in all of us.
In the darkest hour (darkest hour)
we can still rise up (still rise up).
There`s a new horizon shining
between you and me.
When you slip your hand in mine, I feel the rub of the healing power of love.

There`s a healing power
(there`s a healing power),
it`s so deep in us.
In the darkest hour
(the darkest hour)
there`s a healing power of love.
There`s a healing power
(there`s a healing),
I can feel it now.
In the darkest hour
(the darkest hour)
we can still rise up (still rise up).

There`s a healing power
(there`s a healing power)
deep in all of us.
In the darkest hour
(darkest hour) we can still rise up (still rise up).

    4.         YOU ARE WHERE I BELONG

Didn’t mean to make you cry
I can say such stupid things sometimes
Right or wrong, you are where I belong

When last night you said goodbye
I felt something deep inside me die, oh
Right or wrong, you are where I belong

This world can be so lonely
When you’re not near
You are the only reason
Girl, that I’m still here, oh

Love can hurt so bad, they say
Wouldn’t have it any other way, oh
Right or wrong, you are where I belong
Right or wrong, you are where I belong

This world can be so lonely
Girl, when you’re not near, oh
You are the only reason
The only reason I’m still here, oh

Didn’t mean to make you cry
Let me see those sad eyes shining
Right or wrong, you are where I belong
Oh that’s forever
Right or wrong, you are where I belong

  5.     SOME TIMES WHEN WE TOUCH

You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly

At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

  6.   CAN'T WE TRY

I see your face cloud over like a little girl's
And your eyes have lost their shine
You whisper something softly, I'm not meant to hear
Baby, tell me what's on your mind

I don't' care what people say
About the two of us from different worlds
I love you so much that it hurts inside
Are you listening Please listen to me, girl

Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for

Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
I love you so much, baby
That it tears me up inside

I hear you on the telephone with God knows who
Spilling out your heart for free
Everyone needs someone they can talk to
Girl, that someone should be me

So many times I've tried to tell you
You just turn away
How did I know

My life is changing so fast now
Leaves me lonely and afraid
Don't be afraid, no

Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try to understand
That it's love we're fighting for

Oh, can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
I love you so much, baby
That it tears me up inside

Don't let our love fade away
Don't let our love fade away
No matter what people say
No matter, no matter what they say

I need you more and more each day, oh
(Don't let our love fade away)
No matter what people say
No matter, no matter what they say

Oh, can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more
Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more

Can't we try just a little more passion
Can't we try just a little less pride
Love you so much, baby
It tears me up inside, oh

Can't we give a little bit, a little bit
Just a little bit harder
Can't we give, oh, oh, oh

Can't we try, can't we give a little bit more
Can't we try, baby, can't we give, oh, oh
Can't we try just a little bit harder
Can't we give just a little bit more...

7.    IT'S A LONG ROAD

It's a long road
When you're on your own
And it hurts when they tear your dreams apart
And every new town
Just seems to bring you down
Tryin' to find
Peace of mind
Can break your heart

It's a real war
Right outside your front door,
I tell ya
Out where they'll kill ya,
You could use a friend

Where the road is:
That's the place for me
Where I'm me
In my own space,
Where I'm free -
That's the place
I want to be

'Cause
The road is long and
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks, just heartaches
Oh man, is anybody winning?

It's a long road
And it's hard as well
Tell me what do you do to survive
When they draw first blood
That's just the start of it
Day and night
You gotta fight
To keep alive

It's a real war
Right outside your front door,
I tell ya
Out where they'll kill ya,
You could use a friend

'Cause
The road is long and
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks, just heartaches
Oh man, is anybody winning?

The road is long and
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks, just heartaches
Oh man, is anybody winning?

It's a long road

It's a long road

8.      HOLD ME NOW

If I could make sweet love to you all through the night
All the problems of my world would slowly fade away

How can I be sure that everything you say
Isn't just another line designed to steal my heart away

CHORUS
Just let me hold you now
I wanna feel you in my arms
Let me unfold you now, endlessly
Just let me hold you now
Friend to friend, lover to lover
Hold me now

I feel your touch and it stirs me deep inside
And still I need to know there's more than passion in your eyes

Oh girl, you are much more than something physical, can't you see
You don't have to stay the night, baby tell me what you want from me


CHORUS
Oh, just let me hold you now
I wanna feel you in my arms
Let me unfold you now, endlessly
Just let me hold you now
Friend to friend, lover to lover
Hold me now

If we make love
I need you baby
I wanna lose myself to you
Rise so high above
I don't wanna be alone tonight
Don't leave me now
I just want you to

Hold me now
I wanna feel you in my arms
Let me unfold you now
Baby, hold me forever
Just hold me now
Never let me go
Let me unfold you, endlessly
Just let me hold you
Friend to friend, lover to lover
Hold me
Don't ever let me go, no
Hold me now

9.       LET THE SONG LAST FOR EVER

I could spend my whole life writing love songs
If they’d help bring me closer to you
Trying to find the right words
But they all get so blurred

While expressing my feelings I get so confused
I can analyze and you can analyze
We can both analyze till we’re blue
Let emotions take reign let them play their own games
Let the freedom of youth captivate you

Let this song last forever let this song last a day
Let our love last a lifetime let our love fade away
No matter what happens if we go our own way
We’ll be both walking wiser if walking away

No I know you’ve been hurt you’ve been broken
Life just ain’t real without pain
And there’s no guarantee that all ends happily
But when you fall you gotta rise up swinging again
And you can run away I can run away
We can both run till our lives are through
Some people hide till their hollow inside
Please don’t allow this to happen to you

Let this song last forever let this song last a day
Let our love last a lifetime let our love fade away
No matter what happens if we go our own way
We’ll be both walking wiser if walking away

I’m so damn tired of hearing songs about pain
There’s so much to learn, life’s too short now to spend it afraid
Let this song last forever let this song last a day
Let our love last a lifetime let our love fade away
No matter what happens if we go our own way
We’ll be both walking wiser if walking away

  10.   I DREAM i SAW YOUR FACE LAST NIGHT
 
As I gaze into the sky
There’s a shooting star that’s falling
As it dwindles into floating dust
My name I hear it calling
Oh God I’d love to be free
But there’s something wrong, you see
I can’t make it
Just with me
I’m lonely...

Well I dreamt I saw your face last night
Just an image in the long
While falling through space I felt
Just you and me
And god
I just don’t know if I can believe in you
The dreamer deep inside me
Surely wants me to
If only dreams come true

At times I get this feeling
That there’s more to my life then greets my eyes
Just a crazy kind of feeling
Then I take a look around
This world’s falling down
Only a clown could believe ...believe

Well everyone’s had hopes I guess
On how the world should be
Everyone’s had dreams that just elude reality

Oh and God your name’s been used
For politics for power
God your name’s been used
For all the love that towers
But has yet to fall - upon us all
Well I dreamt I saw your face last night...

11.     SEDUCES ME



Everything you are, everything you'll be
Touches the current of love so deep in me
Every sigh in the night
every tear that you cry seduces me

And all that I am and all that I'll be
means nothing at all if you can't be with me
Your most innocent kiss, girl, your sweetest caress
seduces me

I don't care about tomorrow
I've given up on yesterday
Here and now is all that matters
Right here with you is where I'll stay

Everything in this world
Every voice in the night
Every little thing of beauty
Is shining through your eyes
And all that is you
Becomes part of me too,
Cause all that you do seduces me

And if I should die tomorrow,
I'd go down a happy man
I thank God I've ever known you
I fall down on my knees
For all the love we've had

Every sigh in the night
Every tear that you cry
Seduces me, oh, seduces me
And all that you do seduces me.

1.    A WOMAN CROSSED IN LOVE

Can't stand this silence any more I'm dying
The words no sooner leave my lips
I'm out of your life in the beat of a heart
It was selfish it was cruel undeniably uncool
Have your way with me
Slap me twice across the face once for a stolen embrace
Once more for honesty

They say the truth will set you free
It's true for some but not for me
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love

Call me shameless I don't care I love you
Desperate measures for desperate times
So much for the sway of a kiss
Darling here I am your ever-loving man
In his darkest hour
Had I known it meant goodbye I would have sooner lived a lie.
Than live without you girl

They say the truth will set you free
It's true for some but not for me
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love

So it's over like that pack you bags your coat and hat
End of story
Before I fade away hear me when I say
Baby I'm sorry.

They say the truth will set you free
It's true for some but not for me
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love

No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love

  2.   LOVE OF MY LIFE

Love of my life
Take my heart take my soul
Take what you need
Love of my life
Don't you know I'm just a fool for a good woman's greed

You broke the wings of a weary vagabond
And I'm stranded on the island of your love
You are the fruit of my amazon
Love of my life I'm no good on my own

Love of my nights
Take my pride take my flesh
Take all my blues
Love of my life
Don't you know my life's a bore
When there's nothing to lose


I am the prisoner of your paradise
Sunken in the bayof of your love
I make this sensual sacrifice
Love of my life
For the good of my own
Love of my life
I'm no good on my own

Love of my life
Take my heart take my soul
Take what you feel
Love of my life
Don't you know I'm just a man
For a woman who's real

Love of my life ...
Love of my life ...
Love of my life ...

   3.     FALLEN IN LOVE

Pardon me
What a rare mood I'm in
Check the glorious grin
And the bright eyes above
Well, excuse me world for being alive
At last I've arrived
I've fallen in love

Ate with augustine monks, babbled in tongues
Climbed the highest hill in Peru
Took a walk on the Ganges, peeled the wraps of Rameses
Slayed me a dragon or two
Turned saviors and saints, and little green men
Moonshine and miracle drugs
But I never quite saw the light
'till I fell in love

Pondered Zen and Zoroaster, and the life ever after
Blavatsky, Marx, Moliere
Found Jesus and Siddhartha in a bar in djakarta
Chatting where the air is quite rare
Let Solomon keep his philosopher's stone
Let Jove keep his heavens above
To my mind it ain't near as divine as falling in love
I'm in love!

Pardon me
What a rare mood I'm in
Check the glorious grin
And the bright eyes above
Well, excuse me world for being alive
At last I've arrived

To my mind it ain't near as divine
Not nearly as sweet and sublime
As falling in love
I'm in love!

Pardon me
What a rare mood I'm in
Check the glorious grin
And the bright eyes above
Well, excuse me world for being alive
At last I've arrived
I've fallen in love
I'm in love
Fallen in love

   4.     OMENS OF LOVE


To love
I have lost
All that is self
My memories have made the storm
Now subsides casting my fate
Inside your soul

And these eyes
Are mine no more
To seek
I pour myself in your virgin veins
Now all that I see
Is through a passion's pain
Cause I'm all hung up over you
I'm losing myself


Loving you
Your wine is the blood
That drunkens my heart
With omens of love and now
That I am you
Woman I fear that you're not i
Oh true love is so so bume and so blue

The storm has passed
Deep inside of me
Crushed by the calm of my insecurity
Cause I'm all hung up over you
I'm losing myself
Over you....

   5.    LOVE ME NOW

Yes I know how much you love me
Can't you realize, I'd cause you just pain
'Cause men like me, capricious and free
Live life alone and confused
Yet loving whoever they choose

Yes I know how much you need me
But I just patronize with this affair
'Cause all my life, I've needed to be
A man with a mind full of craves
Living to learn from each phase

Love me now while I'm here
Love you this man
Take me as I am
The storm in your life

And hear me out
I've something to say
Love is a moment in time
And now that it's yours and it's mine

Love me now while I'm here
Love you this man
Take me as I am
The storm in your life...

   6.    LOVE IS A NIGHT


Hangin' out in New Orleans
Diggin' on the bourbon scenes
Just feelin' the vibes of the oncoming days
There ain't no texan chaparral
To hide away all those southern belles
Just thinking about that Georgian gal conjures a craze

Love is a night
Who really cares if it's wrong or it's right
And all that I care
You've been some life and love I could share

Got a thing in Tennessee
She ain't about to marry me


There's never been a time she says yes and means no
I had a case in carolin'
From makin' love on rose wine
It's strange how they come and they go

Love is a night
Who really cares if it's wrong or it's right
And all that I know
You've been some life and love on the road

Love is a night
I only know the moment is right
As for the ladies I've known
They mean so much when you're all alone

7.       LOVE  AND EMOTION


There's nowhere to run from the heat of the sun
There's nowhere to hide from your face
Black is the night, won't you show me the light
The road only leads to one place

For your love and emotion
I promise you love till I die
Faith as deep as the ocean
Keeps me believin' you're alive

There's nowhere to run from the things that we've done
There's nowhere to hide from the truth
Something is wrong when my woman is gone
My world ain't no good without you

For your love and affection
I give you my soul for all time
Faith as high as a mountain
Keeps me believin' you're mine

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

For your love and emotion
I promise you love till I die
Faith as deep as the ocean
Keeps me believin' you're alive
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Oh (for your love and emotion), oh
Oh (for your love and emotion), oh

   8.     IF I SHOULD LOSE THIS LOVE


I seen highways in the rain
Waved goodbye to midnight trains
I seen sweet dreams disappear
All my life
I felt cold wind cut my skin
Waiting on ships that never came in
But I never cried real tears until tonight

If I should lose this love
If you should turn away
I couldnt bear to face
One more day
If I should lose this love
I couldnt stand the pain
I can do without better things in life and still get by
But if I should lose this love oh baby
I might just lay down & die

I staggered on the edge of hell
Stealing coins from wishing wells
And if the world went up in flames
What did I care
But when I look into your eyes
You know I suddenly realize
For the first time in my life baby Im scared

If I should lose this love
If you should turn away
I couldnt bear to face
One more day
If I should lose this love
I couldnt stand the pain
I can do without better things in life and still get by
But if I should lose this love oh baby
I might just lay down & die

I don't want to lose this love

  9.      HURTS TO BE IN LOVE

More and more
Your kiss is like a half opened door
I can't get in
You stop me just before I begin
And it hurts to be in love
When you never ever get enough
Oh it hurts to be in love

This endless urge
Keeps my body right on the verge
We touch and then
I wanna do it all over again

And it hurts to be in love
When you only want me half as much
I tell you it hurts to be in love

I'm always worried you think I'm pushing too hard
Oh baby it hurts me when you tell me I'm going to far
We touch and then
I wanna do it all over again
And it hurts to be in love
When you only want me half as much
I tell you it hurts to be in love
It hurts
Baby it hurts
It hurts

    10.       MOMENT TO MOMENT


Too many nights of isolation
Too many echoes in my head
Too many fires left burning
In this bed
Too many thoughts of desperation
So much pain deep down below
So much a slave to my senses
I can't let go

From moment to moment
I live and I die
This can't go on anymore
Another day, another lie
From moment to moment
I stand and I fall
This can't go on anymore
Unless we both give it all

I ask you how can a man keep his distance
How can he reason with his heart
How can you hold me so near
Yet keep me so far

From moment to moment
I live and I die
This can't go on anymore
Another day, another lie
From moment to moment
I stand and I fall
This can't go on anymore
Unless we both give it all

Sometimes I'd like to break you down
To see if there's a trace of woman
In you that could be found
But I just keep prayin' you'll come around
And live from moment to moment
I live from moment to moment
I live from moment to moment

So much a slave to my senses
I can't let go

From moment to moment
I live and I die
This can't go on anymore
Another day, another lie
From moment to moment
I stand and I fall
This can't go on anymore
Unless we both give it all

You know I want to give it all
I live from moment to moment
Everyday of my life
I live from moment to moment

   11.      CRY OF LOVE

Stand in the window
Close to the edge
As the neon signs surrender to the light of day
I sip a bitter cup of coffee
And I fade away oh I fade away

There's a cross above my pillow
Curse words on the wall
What I'd give to write the pages of my life again
No I can't believe this is the way
The story ends oh is this the end is this the end

I wanna run to the highest mountain
I wanna stand in the light of the sun
I wanna ask all this world to forgive the man that I've become
and now I call on the angels above
Won't somebody hear won't somebody hear
My cry of love

Got a shoe box full of letters
Got a ring that I should pawn
There's a picture on the table of the way we were
I wish to God I could forget
But I still think of her I think of her
Oh I think of her

I wanna run to the highest mountain
I wanna stand in the light of the sun
I wanna ask all this world to forgive the man that I've become
and now I call on the angels above
Won't somebody hear won't somebody hear
My cry of love

Won't anybody listen to me
Can anybody hear my prayer
Won't anybody listen to my cry of love
Won't anybody listen to my cry of love
Won't anybody listen to my cry of love

I wanna ask all this world to forgive
The man that I've become
And so I call on the angels above
Won't somebody hear won't somebody hear
My cry of love

Won't anybody listen to me
Can anybody hear my prayer
Won't anybody listen to me
Does anybody really care

My cry of love

    12.      DOWN WITH LOVE

Must-a been high, must-a had plenty
If she had one
(Don't know)
Might-a had twenty

Flat on my back
With the wind out of my sail
My friends all say
I look a little skinny and pale

Caught a nasty little bug
One thing sure
There ain't no cure
When you're down with love

Enough to make a grown man cry
Or make a mule comply
(Comin' down with love)
Enough to make a soul man straight
Or make a wildcat domesticate

My head's too hot
My nose a little runny
My family doctor
Stuck me twice and stole my money

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Let me tell you what I see
Some kind of strung out fool
Looking back at me

I need a miracle drug
'Cause one thing sure
There ain't no cure
When you're down with love

Enough to make a grown man cry
Or make a mule comply
(Comin' down with love)
Enough to make a soul man straight
Or make a wildcat domesticate

Flat on my back
With the wind out of my sail
My friends all say

I need a miracle drug
'Cause one thing sure
There ain't no cure
When you're down with love

Enough to make a grown man cry
Or make a mule comply
(Comin' down with love)
Enough to make a mad dog tame

And give a man a good name
One thing's sure
There ain't no cure
When you're down with love

13.     SLOW LOVE

I want some slow love
The kind that lasts forever
The kind of love that will be there in the morning
I want some slow love
The kind that leaves me never
The kind of love that lasts a long long time

Now don't mistake my coolness for a cold heart
I want you more than you should know
It's just these days I'm not inclined to move so fast
Why don't you stay a while say a hundred years or so

And make some slow love
The kind that lasts forever
The kind of love that will be there in the morning


I want some slow love
The kind that leaves me never
The kind of love that lasts a long long time

I'm not inclined to live a lifetime in one night
Although I long to touch I yearn for much, much more

A slow love
The kind that lasts forever
The kind of love that will be there in the morning
I want some slow love
The kind that leaves me never
The kind of love I thought I'd never find
The kind of love that lasts a long time

   14,    RHYTHM OF ROMANCE

Coke machines on the Ho Chi Minh trail
Russian spies shopping at Bloomingdales
Killer bees swarming up the Rio Grande
Hey baby where'd you get that tan
Rome burns as we dance cheek to cheek
Titanic's sinking but oooh do we look chic
New york city's got the Hong Kong flu
And I can't take my eyes off you
Mx G.I.JOE
Rsvp UFO
Abcia
I still want to know who shot JFK

Let's dance
To the rhythm of romance
Let's swing
'neath the stars above
C'mon let's dance
To the rhythm of romance
Let's kiss
Let's fall in love

Johnny woke up from his American dream
Rich man poor man and a desert in between
Crystal chandeliers hangin' by a thread
We're in the pink baby just two trillon in the red
And I hear Gabriel blowing his saxophone
Through a great big hole in the ozone
Who cares it the sun don't rise
When I look in to your ultraviolet eyes
That's life, this is war
I took it on faith, can't take it anymore
Old, young, yin and yang
We'll all go together in the next big bang
Boom shug a lug a lug a boom

Let's dance
To the rhythm of romance
Let's swing
'neath the stars above
C'mon let's dance
To the rhythm of romance
Let's kiss
Let's fall in love

15.    THE JOKER IS WILD

Sound the trumpets for the princess and her fool
A joke, a jester just to make her smile
Silver bells on his hat and on his pointed shoes
Tears rolling down his cheeks
As he dances in the aisles

Watch the little funny man stand on his head
Watch the silly minstral with his empty arms spread
His life hanging by a thread

The joker's wild
Can't you see by his eyes
The joker's wild
Can't you see through his disguise
The joker's wild about you

Watch him juggle on one foot
Maybe a riddle for a damsel in distress
He's just a clown in a court of thieves
Who conspire for a kiss
It's off with his head dare he show his loneliness

Watch the little funny man walk on his hands
See the little princess laugh as hard as she can
Her every wish is his command

The joker's wild
Can't you see by his eyes
The joker's wild
Can't you see through his disguise
The joker's wild about you

Watch the little funny man stand on his head
Watch the silly minstral with his empty arms spread
His life hanging by a thread

The joker's wild
Can't you see by his eyes
The joker's wild
Can't you see through his disguise
The joker's wild about you

16.          YOUNG LOVER

One life to live
no time to pretend
no wins no loss
no heroes in the end
no dreams no plans no promises

Young lover
just turn out the lights

One kiss
one softly whispered yes
no talk oh no, no tears
no hearts to repossess
no names no chains no hostages

Young lover
just turn out the lights
slip under the cover
of the night
young lover young lover young lover
everythings all right
young lover
just turn out the lights

17.       LIVING INSIDE MYSELF

In my life
I've felt so self assured
But suddenly it's all changed
She's a cloud
That hangs above my world
And I find myself wondering in the rain
And now I can't go on
Cause I am lost
Living inside myself
Living inside this shell
Living outside your love
I am lost
Somewhere inside my own dreams
Afraid of what life really means
Living without your love
I need a guiding light
To shine on my darkest days
I was young
And time was on my side
But like a fool I let it slip away
And now those days are gone
And I am lost
Living inside myself
Living inside this shell
Living outside your love
I am lost
Somewhere inside my own dreams
Afraid of what life really means
Living without your love
In my life
I've felt so self-assured
But oh how all the seasons change
And now I'm not that strong
Cause I am lost
Living inside myself
Living inside this hell
Living outside your love
I am lost
Somewhere inside my own dreams
Afraid of what life really means
Living without your love
I am lost
Living inside myself
Living inside this shell
Living outside your love
I am lost
Somewhere inside my own dreams
Afraid of what life really means
Living without your love
I am lost
