I Might Have Been Queen What's Love Got To Do With It Show Some Respect I Can't Stand The Rain Private Dancer Let's Stay Together Better Be Good To Me Steel Claw Help 1984 |
I`m a new pair of eyes
Every time i am born
An original mind
Because i just died
I`m scanning the horizon
For someone recognizing
That i might have been queen
For every sun that sets
There is a new one dawning
For every empire crushed
There is a new nation
Let the waters rise
I have ridden each tide
From the gates of the city
Where the first born died
And i might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
Oh but the rivers won`t stop for me
I`m a new pair of eyes
An original mind
With my senses of old
And the heart of a giant
And i`m searching through the wreckage
For some recollection
That i might have been queen
For every sage that falls
There is an ancient child
And i might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
Oooooh but the rivers won`t stop for me
No, the rivers won`t stop for me
I look up to the stars
With my perfect memory
I look through it all
And my future`s no shock to me
I look down but i see no tragedy
I look up to my past
A spirit running free
I look down and i`m there in history
I`m a soul survivor
A soul survivor
On the river
But it won`t stop
I`m a soul survivor
On the river
But it won`t stop
I might have been queen
I know the secret combination
I`m a soul survivor
You must understand though the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposittes attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that
What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If a tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me
What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way
What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
I made a resolution
And a plan to do my work
But i need you to make it work
You`ve got to read the message
Understand what`s on my mind
Cause not to see would be a crime
And we could loose it anytime
[chorus]
We`ve got to show some respect
We`ve got to learn to protect
Don`t take it for granted i know
That if you want to stay close
We`ve got to show some respect
But i believe in working
Then i believe in a little help
Cause i`m not light unto myself
Without a thing of value
Why settle for second best
We don`t know what`s up ahead
We can`t let ourselves forget
[chorus]
For the things that i love about you
From the woman that you see inside
Don`t let it walk out the door
Love follows every time
[chorus]
[Chorus 1]
I can't stand the rain, against my window
Bringing back, sweet memories
I can't stand the rain, against my window
Cause he ain't here with me
Hey window pain
Tell me, do you remember?
How sweet it used to be
When we were together
Everything was so grand
Now that we parted
There's just one sound
That I just can't stand
[Chorus 1]
I can't stand the rain, against my window
Bringing back, sweet memories
I can't stand the rain, against my window
Cause he ain't here with me
When we were together
Everything was so grand
Now that we parted
There's just one thing
That I just can't stand
I can't stand the rain (I can't stand the rain, I can't stand the rain)
[Chorus 1]
I can't stand the rain, against my window
Bringing back, sweet memories
I can't stand the rain, against my window
Cause he ain't here with me
When we were together
Everything was so grand
Yeah... I know you've got some sweet memories
But there's one sound
That I just can't stand
[Chorus 2]
I can't stand the rain, against my window
Bringing back, sweet memories
I can't stand the rain, against my window
It just keeps on hunting me
[Chorus 3]
Hey, hey rain - get off, of my window
Cause he ain't here with me
And I can't stand the rain, against my window
Bringing back, sweet memories
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names
You don't think of them as human
You don't think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall
Chorus:
I'm your private dancer
A dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private dancer
A dancer for money
And any old music will do
I wanna make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah, I guess I want a family
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names
Chorus (2 x's)
Deutschmarks or dollars
American Express will do nicely...Thank You!
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me do you wanna see me do the shimmy again
Chorus
Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is alright with me
You make me feel so brand new
I want to spend my whole life with you
Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Why, oh tell me, why do people break up
Turn around and make up
I just came to see
You'd never do that to me, would you baby?
Cause being around you is all I see
So baby let's we all stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
A prisoner of your love
Entangled in your web
Hot whispers in the night
I`m captured by your spell captured
Oh yes i`m touched by this show of emotion
Should i be fractured by your lack of devotion
Should i, should i
Oh you better be good to me
That`s how it`s got to be now
Cause i don`t have no use
For what you loosely call the truth
Oh you better be good to me
Yes you better be good to me
And i think it`s only right
That we don`t meet at night
We stand face to face
And you present your case
And i know you keep telling me that you love me
And i really do want to believe
But did you think i`d just accept you in blind faith
Oh sure babe anything to please you
Oh you better be good to me
That`s how it`s got to be now
Cause i don`t have the time for your over loaded lines
Yes you better be good to me
Yes you better be good to me
And i really don`t see
Why it`s so hard to be
Good to me
And i don`t understand
What`s your plan
That you can`t
Be good to me
A night in television wonderland
Another fairytale about some ritch bitch
Lying by the swimming pool
It`s the golden school
Living`s easy when you make the rules
Last friday was the first time
It only took about a half a minute
On the stairway
It was child`s play
The odds turn to even
When you gie up believing in the
[chorus]
Cold law, steel claw
Try to get on board
You find the lock is on the door
Well i say `no way...'
Don`t try to keep me out or there`ll be hell to pay
I don`t know who`s right or who`s wrong
But it doesn`t really matter when you`re lying in the gutter
It`s a see saw
A long hot battle with the cold law
Is what you get for messing with the steel claw
The politicians have forgotten this place
Except for a flying visit in a black mercedes
No election time
They cross the line
And everybody runs to watch the pantomime
If they could see what`s going here around there
So many people hanging on the edge
Crying out gor revolution
Retribution
The odds turn out even
When you give up believing in the
[chorus]
Sometimes i think i`m going crazy
Sometimes i do a line
Makes me laugh
Makes me want to take a joyride
On the high tide
Sometimes i`m contemplating suicide
Meanwhile eddy`s on the west coast
I heard he`s shacking up with some sweet senorita
Up in frisco you and i know
The odds turn out even
When you give up believing in the
[chorus]
When I was younger, so much younger than today
Never needed anybody's help in anyway
But now those days are gone and I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the door
Help me if you can I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being around
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
And every now and then I feel so insecure
And now I just need you like I never did before
Help me if you can I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being around
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me
Someday they won't let you, now you must agree
The times they are a telling and the changing isn't free
You read it in the tea leaves and the tracks are on TV
Beware the savage jaw in 1984
They'll split your pretty cranium and fill it full of air
They'll tell you that you're eighty and really you won't care
You'll be shooting up on everything, tomorrow's never there
Beware the savage jaw in 1984
Come see, come see, remember me
I played in an all night movie role
You said it would last but I guess we've enrolled
In 1984 (who could ask for more)
1984 (who could ask for more)
I'm looking for a vehicle, I'm looking for a ride
I'm looking for a party, I'm looking for a side
I'm looking for a treason that I knew in sixty-five
Beware the savage jaw in 1984
Come see, come see, remember me
I played in an all night movie role
You said it would last but I guess we've enrolled
In 1984 (who could ask for more)
1984 (who could ask for more)
