Breaking Us In Two Steppin' Out Is She Really Going Out With Him On Your Radio One More Time Look Sharp! It's Different For Girls A Slow Song Another World |
Don't you feel like trying something new Don't you feel like breaking out or breaking us in two You don't do the things that I do You want to do the things I can't do Always something breaking us in two You and I could never live alone But don't you feel like breaking out Just one day on your own Why does what I'm saying hurt you I didn't say that we were through Always something breaking us in two They say two hearts should beat as one for us We'll fight it out to see it through I say that you won't bee too much fun for us Though it's oh so nice to get advice it's oh so hard to do Could we be much closer if we tried We could stay at home and stare into each other's eyes Maybe we could last an hour Maybe then we'd see right through Always something breaking us in two
Now the mist across the window hides the line But nothing hides the colour of the lights that shine Electricity so fine Look and dry your eyes We're so tired of all the darkness in our lives With no more angry words to say can come alive Get into a car and drive To the other side Me babe, steppin' out Into the night, into the light You babe, steppin' out Into the night, into the light We are young but getting old before our time We'll leave the t.v. and the radio behind Don't you wonder what we'll find Steppin' out tonight You can dress in pink and blue just like a child And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile We'll be there in just a while If you follow me
Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street. From my window I'm staring while my coffee grows cold. Look over there! (Where?) There's a lady that I used to know. She's married now, or engaged, or something, so I am told. Is she really going out with him? Is she really gonna take him home tonight? Is she really going out with him? 'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me, There's something going wrong around here Tonight's the night when I go to all the parties down my street I wash my hair and I kid myself I look real smooth Look over there! (Where?) Here comes Jeanie with her new boyfriend They say that looks don't count for much If so, there goes your proof [Chorus] But if looks could kill, there's a man there who's mowed down as dead 'Cause I've had my fill, "Listen you, take your hands off her head!" I get so mean around this scene! Hey, hey, hey.
Ex-friends, ex-lovers and enemies I've got your case in front of me today All sewn up Ex-bosses you never let me be I got your names and your numbers filed away I've grown up See me Hear me Don't you know you can't get near me. You can only hope to hear me on your radio On your radio You're gonna hear me on your radio. Ex-teachers still coming through to me Tough kids don't stop trying to kick me to the ground I don't care Go on just do what you do to me You look so sick when you're pushing me around You're nowhere
Tell me one more time, as I hold your hand that you don't love me Tell me one more time, as teardrops start to fall Shout it to me and I'll shout it to the skies above me That there was nothing after all Baby, baby, tell me that you never wanted my loving Baby, baby, tell me that you never Tell me, tell me one more time, one more time Say you're leaving, say goodbye One more time, one more time Say you're leaving, say goodbye Tell me one more time, we never had a thing in common Tell me one more time, as you turn and face the wall Tell me I should know you never were my kind of woman And tell me we were fools to fall [Chorus] Tell me one more time, your tears are only sad confusion And tell me it's just been so long and that is all And tell me one more time that love was only my illusion You never answered to my call [Chorus]
Big shot, tell you what Tell me what goes on around here Go on and get me in the corner Smoke my cigarettes and drink my beer Tell me that this world is no place for the weak Then you can look me in the eye And tell me if you see a trace of fear You gotta look sharp You gotta look sharp And you gotta have no illusions Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder Okay, what you say Tell me what they're wearing this year Go on and laugh at me cause you don't see That I got something going right here Say I'm just a dreamer Say I'm just a kid Well ace, shut your face Maybe you will see or hear [Chorus] Big shot, thanks a lot Gotta go it's getting late I got a date with my tailor now Thanks for putting me so straight Tell me how they run the crime down every street But check your watch and wallet now Before I go and you're too late [Chorus]
What the hell is wrong with you tonight I can't seem to say or do the right thing Wanted to be sure you're feeling right Wanted to be sure we want the same thing She said - I can't believe it You can't - possibly mean it Don't we - all want the same thing Don't we Well who said anything about love No not love she said Don't you know that it's different for girls You're all the same Mama always told me, save yourself Take a little time and find the right girl Then again don't end up on the shelf Logical advice gets you in a whirl I know - a lot of things that You don't - you wanna hear some She said - just give me something Anything Well give me all you got but not love No not love she said Don't you know that it's different for girls You're all the same
Music has charms they say But in some people's hands It becomes a savage beast Can't they control it Why don't they hold it back You see, my friend and me Don't have an easy day And at night we dance not fight And we need the energy If not the sympathy But I'm brutalized by bass And terrorized by treble I'm open to change my mood but I always get caught in the middle And I get tired of DJ's Why is it always what he plays I'm gonna push right through I'm gonna tell him to Tell him to Play us Play us a slow song It's late - I'm winding down Am I the only one To want a strong and silent sound To pick me up and undress me Lay me down and caress me I feel you touch my hand And whisper in my ear Ask me how I'm feeling now And I want to get near you But I can't even hear you But this is a fine romance If we have to be so demanding We need just one more dance to Leave here with an understanding [Chorus]
I was so low People almost made me give up trying Always said no Then I turned around saw someone smiling I stepped into I stepped into Into another Into another I stepped into I stepped into Into another Into another world There was no light I was going to all the wrong places Like day from night Suddenly I saw a thousand faces [Chorus]
