Private Dancer lyrics

Nineteen Eighty Four
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 Nineteen Eighty Four
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

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?

Chorus:
You better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
Cause I don't have no use
For what you loosely call the truth
Oh, You better be good to me

I think it's also right

Bought me a bottle of wine
I'm gonna drink it tonight
And you can join me
It's gonna make us feel alright

Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things in life
Don't rush the good things
Don't rush the good things in life

I'm gonna sip it slowly
I'm not gonna rock it back
I am no historier but I
I've learned from my past what I've learned

Don't rush the good things

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

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 pane
Do you remember
How sweet it used to be
When we were together
Everything was so grand
Now that we've parted
There's one sound
That I just can't stand

When we were together
Everything was so grand
Now that we've parted

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 of been queen
For every sun that sets
There is a new one dawning
For every empire crushed
There is a brand new nation
Let the waters rise
I have ridden each tide
From the gates of the city
Where the first born died

Chorus:
And I might have been queen

Let me say that since, babe
Since we've been together
Ooo, loving you forever is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Oh baby

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

I'm, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new

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
Any old music will do

Baby's on the road again
Six weeks nation-wide opening the show

And i'm making it on my own like a rock'n roll widow
Get my news from the rolling stone, wake by the telephone
Wonder if he's alone
Or is my man on a permanent loan to rock'n roll
Rock'n roll

Outdoor concert, watching him play for me
I fall in love again
He says his music is everything
Helpless, caught by the melody

I made a resolution
And I plan to keep my word
But I need you to make it work
You've gotta read the message
Understand what's on my mind
Cause not to see would be a crime
And we could lose 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

A night in television wonderland
Just one more
Fairy tale about some rich bitch
Lying by the swimming pool
It's golden school
Living's easy when you make the rules

Last Friday was the first time
It took only about half a minute
On the stairway
It was child's play
The odds turn out even
When you give up believing in the...

Chorus:
Cold law, steel claw

The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
The times were very hard
When I was young
When I was young

I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for boys I had a bad yen
I had quite a ball
When I was young
When I was young

When I was young it was more important
Pain more painful, the laughter much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young

You must understand
That the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill
Of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore
That it means more than that

[Chorus]
Oh whats 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
