1. ADDICTED TO LOVE

[Songwriters: Palmer, Robert Allan;]

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes

You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

You see the signs, but you can't read
You're runnin' at, a different speed
You heart beats, in double time
Another kiss, and you'll be mine a one track mind

You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

You're addicted to love,you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, might as well face it
Might as well face it, might as well face it
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
You're heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, might as well face it
Might as well face it
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

2. TRUE LOVE

If I'm not mistaken
My whole universe was shaken when I fell for you
Coz all the stars collided when I held you in my arms
I knew you were the one

I was searching for perfection babe
But love is the exception that proves all the rules
There's a sensuality that only you have shown to me
That steals my breath away

And by the way baby
If there's something that I care about it's true love
And no matter where you are, you are my true love
And I thank the lucky stars above for true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love

(And it's you love)

Total satisfaction - irresistible attraction
I got no excuse
I live in anticipation of your unforeseen temptations
What you gonna do?

I don't have an explanation
You're the only invitation I cannot refuse
And handsome is as handsome does
And you win hands down baby doll
You got it nailed
And by the way baby

It don't matter where you are, you are my true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love
And I thank the lucky stars above for true love
If there's one thing I can't live without
It's true love
(And it's you love)

If i'm not mistaken
My whole universe was shaken when I fell for you
Coz all the stars collided when I held you in my arms
I knew you were the one
And by the way baby

If there's something that I care about it's true love
And no matter where you are, you are my true love
And I thank the lucky stars above for true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love

All the tragedy and irony of true love
All the agony and ecstasy of true love
It don't matter where you are, you are my true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love

It don't matter where you are, you are my true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love
And I thank the lucky stars above for true love
If there's one thing I can't live without

It's true love

If there's something that I care aboutI'ts true love
And no matter where you are, you are my true love

 3.    I CHOOSE YOU

I choose you

When love comes along you go with the flow
You should trust your feelings on it
When you get hit by the arrow you'll know
Cupid's aim is always on it

It's half past two now
Your face is lovely
It's only lit by candlelight
Just me and you here
Our room is quiet
Only our sighs and whispers

You don't choose who you fall in love with
You don't mess with the gods of love
You can't choose who you fall in love with
So I choose you

When love comes along you go with the flow
You should trust your feelings on it
When you get hit by the arrow you'll know
Cupid's aim is always on it

You mesmerize me
My head is spinning
This is much more than fantasy
Lost in your kisses
My senses tingle
We lose our inhibitions

You don't choose who you fall in love with
You don't mess with the gods of love
You can't choose who you fall in love with
So I choose you
ohohohah

I choose
I choose you
I choose
I choose you
I choose
Oh babe I choose you
I choose
I choose you
whooo

You don't choose who you fall in love with
You don't mess with the gods of love
You can't choose who you fall in love with
So I choose you
whoo

You don't choose who you fall in love with
You don't mess with the gods of love
You can't choose who you fall in love with
So I choose you

4. DREAMS TO REMEMBER


I got dreams, dreams to remember
I got dreams, dreams to remember

Honey, I saw you there last night
Another man's arms holding you tight
Nobody knows how I felt inside
All I know is I walked away and cried

I got dreams, dreams to remember
(Dreams to remember)

I know you said, he was just a friend
But I saw you kiss him again and again
These eyes of mine they don't fool me
Why did he hold you so tenderly?

I got dreams, dreams to remember
(Dreams to remember)
I got dreams, dreams to remember

I still want you to stay
I still love you anyway

I don't want you to ever leave
Girl, you just satisfy me, ooh, wee

I know you said, he was just a friend
But I saw you kiss him again and again
These eyes of mine they don't fool me
Why did you hold him so tenderly?

I got dreams, dreams to remember
(Dreams to remember)
[Incomprehensible] dreams, don't help each other
(Dreams to remember)
Bad dreams, [Incomprehensible]
Dreams to remember
(Dreams to remember)
(Dreams to remember)

(Dreams to remember)
Dreams to remember
Dreams to remember
Dreams to remember

5. KEEP IN TOUCH

We got to keep in touch
We fit just like a glove girl
Between the two of us
There always will be love there

I don't mind if I don't hear a word from you in years
If you blow my candle out I will fall to tears

Knowing your still lovin' makes me want it to be real

Darlin' you've just got to let me know the way you feel

We got to keep in touch
We fit just like a glove girl
Between the two of us
There always will be love there

I know when I'm kissin' you you're easin' from behind
Too much solitude can make a body lose his mind
When I get that burnin' need to share what we have found
I have faith that you will let me know you're still around

We got to keep in touch
We fit just like a glove girl
Between the two of us
There always will be love there

Keep in touch girl
Keep in touch girl
Keep in touch girl
Keep in touch girl
Keep in touch girl
Keep in touch girl

6. SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE


How can it be permissible
She compromised my principle, yeah yeah
That kind of love is mythical
She's anything but typical
She's a craze you'd endorse, she's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course
She used to look good to me, but now I find her

Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible

Her loving is so powerful, huh
It's simply unavoidable
The trend is irreversible
The woman is invincible

She's a natural law, and she leaves me in awe
She deserves the applause, I surrender because
She used to look good to me, but now I find her

Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible

(Simply irresistible) She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went
(Simply irresistible) She's all mine, there's no other way to go

She's unavoidable, I'm backed against the wall
She gives me feelings like I never felt before

I'm breaking promises, she's breaking every law
She used to look good to me, but now I find her

Simply irresistible
She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went
(Simply irresistible) She's all mine, there's no other way to go

Her methods are inscrutable
The proof is irrefutable, Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
She's so completely kissable, huh
Our lives are indivisible

She's a craze you'd endorse, she's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course
She used to look good to me, but now I find her

Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible

She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went
(Simply irresistible) She's all mine, there's no other way to go
She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went
(Simply irresistible) She's all mine, there's no other way to go

Simply irresistible

7. REMEMBER TO REMEMBER


No haste, no pause, no rest
Girl remember to remember
Love won't take second best
Remember to remember
Heartache and pain wont last like your old habits do
Catch up with your past
Before it catches up with you

Your dreams are not what they were
Your heart danced to a different tune
I wont forget my word
I'll remember to remember too

Your pride will overlook your lesson when you fall
Leave no stone unturned, don't let it slip beyond recall
Love starts to last when you do the things that you neglected to

Forever haunting your past will blind you to the love you do

No haste, no pause, no rest
Girl remember to remember
Love wont take second best
Remember to remember
Heartache and pain wont last like your old habits do
Catch up with your past
Before it catches up with you

Your dreams are not what they were
Your heart danced to a different tune
I wont forget my word
I'll remember to remember too

8. BETWEEN US

Hold me now
'Til the world turns away
Show me how
Here in this dream we might always stay
We belong to each other

One embrace sealed our fate
Here in your arms
Feeling the love that we generate
Every time we caress

Look around
There's a will, there's a way
Dream while
I ever so tenderly kiss your face
All the love passing between us

Hold me now
'Til the world turns away
Show me how
Here in this dream we might always stay
To this love we surrender

9. FOUND YOU NOW

[Songwriters: GARY NUMAN, ROBERT PALMER]

I know that you already take as read
I helped you and lost the back of my hand
I wished that we were enchanted
Girl now I take if for granted

Your love was staring me right in the heart
Why does our pride make us wait
While I was wondering where to start
You were there to show me all I had to learn

We were way off the mark
Must have been in the dark
Found you now

Finding light in the ease
With which we reach indecision
I guess we lived in the meantime
¡®till we remembered our first lines

We must have missed our turn
Still got a lot to learn
Found you now

So now we live a life of give and take
Day by day we don't control where it leads us
If we compare the first day we met
I must admit nothing's changed
I recognize only one regret
Life's embarrassments, unexpressed

Found you now, I've found you now
Found you now, I've found you now

10. HERE WITH YOU TO-NITE

[Songwriters: GAGE, PETER]

Hey girl, you sit there pining
Inside you feel you’re dying and the world doesn’t care
You need someone to rely on
You need a shoulder you can cry on,
Well there’s one right here
But let get’s one thing clear
I ain’t no substitution for the guy
Who left alone
I’ll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I’ll be gone
No commitments, no lies
One thing there wont be no lies, coz I got nothing to hide
A little comfort, a little soothing,
Just until you’ve started grooving (? )
Then I’ll have to ride

Coz like I told you babe
I ain’t no substitution for the guy
Who left alone
I’ll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I’ll be gone, gone
So remember what I told you
Just tonight I’ll stay and hold you
Till you feel ok
A little loving to ease the pain
You feel yourself ? ? ?
And then am on my way
I ain't substitution for the guy
Who left you alone
I'll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I will be gone, gone, gone
I’ll be gone, I will gone
? ? ? ? be gone mama
I will be gone
I cannot afford to hang on mama
I will be gone

11. [LOVE IS] THE TENDER TRAP

[Songwriters: SAMMY CAHN, JIMMY VAN HEUSEN]

You see a pair of laughing eyes

And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!

Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap

You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze

You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!

Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice

The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map

You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle

She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice

The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map

And then you wonder how it all came about

It's too late now there's no gettin' out

You fell in love, and love is the tender trap

12. YOU ARE IN MY SYSTEM

[Songwriters: FRANK, DAVID MARTIN / MURPHY, MICHAEL AUSTIN

Day by day and night by night
I feel you in my mind
You know the day dreams stop
It happens all the time
My heart beats on
I can't take it any more
It's you I live for

You are in my system
You are in my system
I just want you to know that,

You are in my system
Don't you, Don't you, don't you know that, babe.
You oooohhhh you're in my system, system

Until I get through
I will keep on pushing, pushing, pushing
My main objective baby is to get to you
To turn your mind around
I know will take time

But you know I can wait, now
You're on my mind
You are in my system
I just want you to know that,
You are in my system
Got me burning, I'm on fire
You, you're in my system
You're everything I need
You, oooohhhh, you're in my system, system
Don't you, Don't you, don't you know that, babe.

It happens all the time
It's a romantic vision of me and you
My dreams are filled with you
There's no doubt in my mind
That I'll be true baby
You know I'll take you out
And I'll keep lovin' you

Oh baby you are in my system,
You are in my system
I just want you to know that
Cut me right down to the wire
You, ooohh, you're in my system
Got me burning I'm on fire
You, you're in my system
Can't make believe
You, you're in my system
You're everything I need
You, Ooohh, you're in my system
I just want you to know that
You, you're my system
You, you're in my system
Got me burning I'm on fire
