If you want love to stay
Don't give all your secrets away
It's not the fashion
But hold back your passion
Don't - open your heart
No, don't - share all your dreams in one night
No, don't - tell the whole story
Why should you hurry?
You don't want love to leave
So don't wear your heart on your sleeve
It's not a crime to
Give her some time and
Don't - drive her away

Above and beyond this place
All the stars have been cast
You may try to resist the pace
But it's happening too fast
The desire is so strong
Hey you got to concede
There's no way to escape from the trap
We are slaves to our needs
And we're lost in love mmmm
Y'say We're lost in our love and we can't find a way, baby, baby
And we're lost in love

There's a man at the top
And I know that he's pulling the strings
He's got his eye in the sky
And I know that he sees everything
There's a bug on the phone
Got his eye on the fly on the wall
But the man in the street doesn't know
'till the guillotine falls
Then he drops before you realize
Bullets hit you right between the eyes
I'm a man with a mission
Got my foot in the door

you know i cannot always be there with you
when something crazy takes me far away
we must stick together through this madness
i've got so many things I want to say

too many forces try to come between us
so little time to share and talk to you
if i show my hand to you in panic
please remember what i'm going through

i've loved you forever
but it seems like a day
and i want to be there with you

i've been lost before and i had to pay
it was never easy but i found a way
well the journey was hard and the road was tough
there were times when i cried lord i've had enough
please don't desert me now
don't you leave me stranded now i need a friend
please don't desert me now
you've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless

show me mercy when i'm helpless
shine a light in the dark

a shake of the tin
the money drops in, but is it a sin
you're standing in rags
you're selling your flags
but who gets the dough at the end of the day
we saw your drop-dead fancy wheels
your little house up on the hill
but when your conscience pricks
a little sacrifice sweetens the pill

so keep your hands in your pockets
charity begins at home
keep your hands in your pockets

who's that creeping out of my back door
don't say he's collecting for the poor
don't you tell me you're not having fun
the green eyed monster's got me on the run

phones keep ringing but there's no one there
you never told me why you changed your hair
someone else's lotion on my side of the mattress
green eyed monster's got me by the niagra's

don't think i'm mad, it's paranoia

we came from miles around
just to listen to your sound
you made the night seem endless
you cast a magic spell
you played the part so well
your music blew away the darkness
we loved you for better
we loved you for worse
but we never took you for granted
your lives were a blessing
but they carried a curse
the night that the stars didn't show

you made me stand so proud
i was lifted from the crowd

i kissed my mother
shook the hand of my brother
and i said goodbye to the woman i loved
it may seem like a madness
to be leaving the love nest
but i'm taking a chance on a place far away

welcome to paradise
who said you can't live twice
you will find heaven is here on earth
welcome to paradise
did somebody say . . .

there's a coup coming on
there's a coup coming on
there's a coup coming on

stealing coins from the poor box
i'm robbing the blind, but you won't
understand, i'm a wanted man
got no choice in the matter
i'm mad as a hatter
but she makes me do
things i shouldn't do

my baby wants the best of everything
i can't refuse her when she starts to sing
bring me something special
and i'll take you to heaven tonight

going down to the street and
i'll pick on a pocket with a

my baby told me she would meet me on the street
stood behind a lamppost, I could only see her feet
now I'm not one to grumble, don't want to be a bore
but that silly bitch Jane Fonda's got a lot to answer for
told the women of the world that the only way to win
work out 'til you burn out and you'll get super slim
i rushed her to the restaurant and called the maitre d', oh help me

i wanna take a giant step
don't know where I'll end up yet
the devil or the deep blue sea
there's always someone watching over me
the power of communication
every little word's a big sensation
sitting in the palm of my hand
everyone at my command

it's a wonderland
(and I've only just begun)
(but I get a smile from everyone)
it's a wonderland
(makes no difference, day or night)

i don't know why it's the way of the world
but meanwhile....

you've seen her sway when she walks down the street
look at her eyes see the glow in her cheeks
it ain't no secret she can't hide it away
there's someone special she's the dish of the day

she's a woman in love
she's a woman in her prime
(she's a woman in love)
look at her face it's a picture
she's a woman in love
she's a woman
