ALL FOR LOVE

 

When it's love you give

I'll be your man of good faith

In love you'll live

I'll make a stand I won't break

I'll be the rock you can build on - yeah

Be there when you're old

To have and to hold

When there's love inside

I swear I'll always be strong

Then there's a reason why

I'll prove to you we belong

I'll be the wall that protects you - yeah

From the wind and the rain

From the hurt and the pain

Yeah!

Let's make it CHORUS:

All for one and all for love

Let the one you hold be the one you want

The one you need

Cause when it's all for one

There's one for all

When there's someone that should know

Then just let your feelin's show

Make it all for one

And all for love

When it's love you make

I'll be the fire in your night

Then it's love you take

I will defend I will fight

I'll be there when you need me - yeah

When honour's at stake

This vow I will make

Yeah! That is

CHORUS

Don't lay our love to rest

Cause we could stand up to the test

We got everything - and more

Than we had planned

More than the rivers that run the land

We got it all - in our hands Now it's

All for one and all for love

Let the one you hold be the one you want

The one you need

Cause when it's all for one

There's one for all

When there's someone that should know

Then just let your feelin's show

When there's someone that you want

When there's someone that you need

Let's Make it all

All for one - and all for love

 

 

BABY WEARS BLACK

 

Standin' in disguise

At the edge of the cemetery

Watchin' all my friends

Payin' their last respects

Now wouldn't they be surprised

If it's me they think they'd buried

But I ain't dead

I'm here instead

And I won't be comin' back

Aaah now my baby wears black

Aaah and I won't be comin' back

Aaah now my baby wears black

Aaah and I won't be comin' back

Nine to five

And overtime on Sundays

After twenty years

You gotta watch for a heart attack

I know she don't care

She only spends my money

She won't listen

So I went missin'

And I won't be comin' back

Aaah now my baby wears black

Aaah and I won't be comin' back

Aaah now my baby wears black

Aaah and I won't be comin' back

 

 

BIN THERE, DONE THAT

 

It was behind the school on a summer night

When I got kissed for the very first time

I knew right then I'd never be the same

I remember her kiss but not her name

When your head starts spinnin' and you don't know why

And you find yourself one into laugh and cry

Take a look back at the times you had

But just remember - you can never go back

Bin there, done that

Bin there, done that

Oh yeah -

Well my best friend he was a real James Dean

Kind of a loner if you know what I mean

Gonna die young that's what he'd say

I'd rather burn out than fade away

He cracked his car - he blew his mind

Took that ride for the very last time

Cause where you are ain't always where it's at

I been down that road - I don't wanna go back

Bin there, done that

Bin there, done that

Oh yeah -

Det var bagved skolen en sommernat

Da jeg blev kysset for allerførste gang

Jeg vidste der jeg ville aldrig være den samme

Jeg husker hendes kys men ikke hendes navn

[It was behind the school on a summer night

When I got kissed for the very first time

I knew right then I'd never be the same

I remember her kiss but not her name]

Tianamen Square - HIV

People everywhere just wanna be free

You had your Berlin Wall - you had your Desert Storm

You got the little things that turn you on

It's a freaked up funked out kinda time

It's a free free ride all and up an uphill climb

I don't know if they're on the right track

You can't stand still and you can never go back

Bin there, done that

Bin there, done that

Bin there, done that

Bin there, done that

It's the little things in life that turn you on

Before you know it'll all be gone

If you felt confused before you heard this rap

But just remember - you can never go back

Bin there, done that...

Bin there, done that...

Bin there, done that...

Done that - I bin there

Uh sikke et kys

[Oh what a kiss]

 

 

CHRISTMAS TIME

 

We waited all through the year

For the day to appear

When we could be together

In harmony

You know the time will come

Peace on earth for everyone

And we can live forever

In a world where we are free

Let it shine for you and me

CHORUS:

There's something about Christmas time

Something about Christmas time

That makes you wish it was Christmas every day

To see the joy in the children's eyesy

The way that the old folks smile

Says that Christmas will never go away

We're all as one tonight

Makes no difference if your're black or white

Cause we can sing together

In harmony

I know it's not too late

The world would be a better place

If we can keep the spirit

More than one day in the year

Send a message loud and clear

CHORUS

It's the time of the year

When everyone's together

We'll celebrate here on Christmas day

When the ones you love are there

You can feel the magic in the air

You know it's everywhere

CHORUS: repeat

Please tell me that Christmas will never go away

 

 

DIANA

 

Well the first time I saw you - was in a magazine

The next time was you was walkin' 'cross my television screen

I knew right there that I had to make you mine

The day that you married him - I nearly lost my mind

Diana - What cha doin' with a guy like him

Diana - I'd die for you please let me in

Diana - Can't you see you drive me wild

Diana - I'll bet you're just a reckless child!

So you've got it made;

I've seen you promenade a time or two

He might have lots of dough;

But I know he ain't right for you

Well I've watched you smile n' shakin hands;

When you're doin' your social scene

But you wouldn't have to do that;

If you came and lived with me - oh yeah!

Diana - I just can't get you off of my mind

Diana - Why don't ya leave it all behind?

Diana - She's the queen of all my dreams

Diana - Give me a chance - I'll set ya free!

Since I saw that picture of ya;

Nothin' matters - I just wanna love ya;

We can make it you and me;

So come on baby - come on baby

So here's how I see it...

You got one choice - you can get away;

Leave it up to me;

I'll bring the ladder - if you bring your limousine!

You really got a hold on me

Gimme a chance - I'll set you free!

 

 

DON'T LET HIM KNOW

 

Here we are waking up by the firelight

And I worry 'cause it's 4 a.m.

And I'm wonderin' what she gonna say to him

And these problems go

I'd say we got one here:

Do you wanna leave

Or do you wanna get closer?

Think you mighta stayed just a little too long

Don't let him know

Don't show him what's in your heart

Don't let him know

Does he know about you breaking all rules?

Does he listen to your lies?

What's gonna happen when you run out of alibis?

Cause is it easy when you're walking out?

Do you smile as you leave him?

If I was you

I'd be wonderin' when he's gonna get even

Think you mighta stayed just a little too long

Don't let him know

Don't show him what's in your eyes

Don't let him know

Don't let him know

Is it easy when you're walking out?

Do you smile as you leave him?

If I was you

I'd be wonderin' when he's gonna get even

Think you mighta stayed just a little too long

Don't let him know

Don't show him what's in your heart

Don't let him know

Don't show him what's in your eyes

Don't let him know

Don't let him know

Don't let him know

Don't show him what's in your heart

Don't let him know

 

 

DON'T TURN ME AWAY

 

Call me in the nite babe

Call me in the day

Don't say I'm getting older

Changed in every way

Don't turn me away

Close me like a book babe

When I'm old and grey

Knockin' on your door

And feelin' as astray

So don't turn me away

Oh - don't turn me away

Don't turn me away babe

Don't turn me away

Don't turn me away babe

Don't turn me away

Oh - don't turn me away

Oh - don't turn me away

Waitin' just to see you

Crazy for your smile

Though I'm feelin' older

Take me for a while

Don't turn me away

Oh - don't turn me away

Oh - don't turn me away

 

 

HEY ELVIS

 

Hey Elvis won't you come back home

I left a message on your code-a-phone

I tried to reach you but I can't get through

Hey Elvis - where the hell are you?

Somebody saw you at the shopping mall

Somebody said they'd heard the southern drawl

Hey Elvis - is it really true?

We're all waiting for a sign from you!

CHORUS:

Now everybody knows about your pink cadillac

Everybody's wonderin' when you're comin' back

Everybody's waitin' just to hear you sing

Hey Elvis - you're still the king!

Hey Elvis won't you come back soon?

Nobody's rockin' in the jungle room

Come December - dunno what we'll do

Be a blue Christmas without you

CHORUS

Love me tender - Don't Be Cruel

Return To Sender - Stuck On You

It's Now Or Never - Suspicious Minds

Hey Elvis, Aren't You Lonesome Tonight?

Hey Elvis, can't ya see

They need you back in Memphis, Tennessee

They're makin' records but there's nothin' new

Nobody ever done it quite like you!

Everybody knows about your pink cadillac

Everybody's wonderin' when you're comin' back

Everybody's waitin' just to hear you sing

Hey Elvis -

Everybody knows about your Lisa Marie

Everybody knows about TCB

Everybody's waitin' just to hear you sing

Hey Elvis - you're still the king!

(Oh yeah>

Come back to Memphis Elvis - you're still the king!

(Thank you very much...)

 

 

HEY LITTLE GIRL

 

I would walk a million miles to see you

I'd drive through the pouring rain

I'd dive into your deepest ocean

Just to have you in my arms again

I'd be there when you're feelin' lonely

I'd be there till the end of time

I'd stand beside you baby if you break down

Ain't no mountain that I won't climb - yeah

CHORUS:

Hey little girl

C'mon let's knock on love

Come into my little world

Cause if I touch you there - and touch you here

And all your troubles will disappear...

Little girl - c'mon let's knock on love

All night long I would fly through any kind of weather

I would swim across the stormy seas

I would row down any river just to get to you

I'd do anything that you please - yeah

CHORUS

I would do anything

Anything to get you through the night

And I would give everything

To have you the rest of my life

CHORUS

 

 

I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE

 

I finally found someone

Who knocks me off my feet

I finally found the one

Who makes me feel complete

It started over coffee

We started out as friends

It's funny how from simple things

The best things begin...

This time is different

It's all because of you

It's better than it's ever been

Cuz we can talk it through

My favorite line was

"Can I call you sometime?"

It's all you had to say

To take my breath away

CHORUS:

This is it!

Oh, I finally found someone

Someone to share my life

I finally found the one

To be with every night

Cause whatever I do

It's just got to be you

My life has just begun

I finally found someone

Did I keep you waiting?

I didn't mind

I apologize

Baby, that's fine

I would wait forever

Just to know you were mine

Ya Know - I love your hair

Are you sure it looks right?

I love what you wear

Isn't it too tight?

You're exceptional

I can't wait for the rest of my life

CHORUS

And whatever I do

It's just got to be you

My life has just begun

I finally found someone...

 

 

I LOVE YA TOO MUCH

 

Every mornin' when I wake up

You put the sugar in my coffee cup

I try to get to work - try to be on time

But you got somethin' else on your mind

But I think I might be breakin'

For all the love we're makin'

You drive me crazy - I can't get enough

I can't help it - I love ya too much

Yeah yeah - yeah yeah

Yeah yeah - I love ya too much

The guys at work, they say I am whipped

They think i'm crazy - think I lost my grip

But they're just jealous - that's alright

Cause they don't get your lovin' that night

I know how crazy I'm soundin'

But I can't stop my heart from poundin'

I'm in a hurry baby - I'm in a rush

I just can't help it - I love ya too much

Yeah yeah - yeah yeah

Yeah yeah - I love ya too much

Doctor says I'll have a heart attack

If you keep wearing me out like that

He tells me I'm a real bad case

But he'd be dead if he were in my place

I guess it ain't surprising

You got my temperature rising

You're my love baby - you're my crush

I can't help it - I love ya too much

Yeah yeah - yeah yeah

Yeah yeah - I love ya too much

Yeah yeah - yeah yeah

Yeah yeah - I love ya too much

I love ya too much

I love ya too much...

 

 

I WANT IT ALL

 

I don't need a million dollars

Just need a couple of bucks

I don't need no life insurance

I just need a little luck

I don't care if the sun don't shine

As long as it don't rain all week

I don't care if I don't reach the top

But when it comes to you and me ...

CHORUS:

I don't need a piece of your heart

oh ya - I'm in need of every part

I want it all - I want it all

I want everything you got

I don't need a piece of your heart

I want it all

I don't wanna go through no long good-bye's

I don't mind being apart

I don't need no fancy car

as long as we can make it start...

CHORUS

I want it all I want it all I want it all

I want it all I want it all I want it all

I want it all I want it all I want it all

I want a big big big piece of your heart

(That means everything)

Not a little bit baby - I want it all

LET ME TAKE YOU DANCIN'

 

From edge of the city comes a sound

Makes you wanna turn your head around

Fills you with desire

Sets both your feet on fire

How could you stand to be alone

How could you stay at home - so

Let me take you dancin'

Let me steal your heart tonight

Let me take you dancin' all night long

Strolling through an easy feel

To the motions that make it rockin' real

You can learn to fake it

Keep on tryin' and you're bound to make it

It's gotta turn you upside down

Should of spinnin' round - so

Let me take you dancin'

Let me steal your heart tonight

Let me take you dancin'

Let me make you feel alright...

 

 

LOW LIFE

 

I been on my best behaviour

My conscience is a little too clean

My halo's just a little too tight now

I'm tired of the old routine

So baby let's get down and dirty

Forget about right from wrong

I wanna sleep in a cheap motel room

With nothin' but the TV on

CHORUS:

We need a little of the low life

To keep our feet on the ground

Just a little of the low life

Sooner or later we got

To get down to the low life - yeah

Well I don't wanna talk religion

Don't wanna talk politics

I don't wanna talk at all babe

I just wanna get my kicks

So c'mon baby let your hair down

You can check your pulse at the door

Just a little black lace and a smile on your face

But never need nothin' more CHORUS

(I'm talking of low, baby)

Oh yeah

Now baby you don't wanna talk about your day

And you sure don't wanna hear about mine...

I'll meet you at the no-tell motel

Underneath the vacancy sign

We need a little of the low life

To keep our feet on the ground

Just a little of the low life

Sooner or later you got

To get down to the low life

Just a little bit of foolin' around

We need a little of the low life - oh yeah...

 

 

PROVE IT!

 

Tell me where you been

I been wild with worrying

Damn it I been up all night!

Now let me try'n'explain

Had a blow out in the rain...

Y'an then some woman came and gave you a ride!

That's right! She drove a red Corvette

It was cold and it was wet

She insisted that I jump inside!

Now tell me

Did she drive you home

Fill the bath with foam

Take your clothes off and hang them to dry?

Oh no! We just had a cup of tea

Talked until three

You know I'd never tell you no lies...

Ha! There's one thing you better do

If you want me to believe it's true

I'm tellin' you

CHORUS:

Prove it! You gotta prove it

Let me make it clear

Better get out of here

If you don't prove it

You better move it - but if you do it

We could snuggle up tight

Make it through the night

Do all the thngs that make a love feel right

Just prove it!

You're always on the phone

And you're never at home

Why you wearin' your best clothes?

It's my boss who's on the line

Got me workin' overtime

Gotta go and take me some notes

How 'bout those weekends away

Without any pay?

Hey babe! I'm only doin' my job

No way!

CHORUS

If you wanna tell lies

Get a better disguise

I see through it!

If you need to deceive

Baby you better leave

Or don't do it!

Yeah, just prove it!

CHORUS

If you believe it's true

There's somethin' you better do

Get your foot out your mouth

Baby tell me the truth

And just prove it!

 

 

REGGAE CHRISTMAS

 

Every year I get the same fear

Christmas come I wanna pack my bags and flee

I wanna get away from New York

I wanna find another place to be

CHORUS:

So we're having a Reggae Christmas

(Down in Jamaica)

We're having a good time too

Hey now, we're having a Reggae Christmas

A merry Christmas and a Reggae New Year to you

Christmas is nice in Germany

If you like being up to your knees in snow

It's just as cold up in Canada

I gotta find another place to go, so

It's a long way down to Kingston Town

But I'll get there someday I know

Gonna meet my friends down in Kingston town

And those good times gonna roll

Yeah those good times gonna roll

CHORUS: repeat

 

 

ROCK STEADY

 

You need a man that'll treat you like the woman you are

You need a rock not a rollin' stone

So when a boy just ain't enough

And you wanna man made of stronger stuff

Get ready...

CHORUS:

Rock steady all night long

Rock steady til the light of dawn

Slow and easy - tried and true

Rock steady just me and you

You need somebody that can help you with your heavy load

Well I can bend but I won't break

Cause you ain't got what I can't take

So when you're tired of them little girls

And you wanna woman to rock your world

Get ready... Ooh

CHORUS

Amateurs and dilettantes

They can't give you what you really want

When all the others have been untrue

I'll give ya somethin' you can hold on to...

 

 

RUN RUDOLPH RUN

Out of all the reindeers you know you're the mastermind

Run, run Rudolph, Randalph ain't too far behind

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town

Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down

Run run Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a boy child "What have you been longing for?"

"All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric guitar"

And then away went Rudolph whizzing like a shooting star

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town

Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down

Run run Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a girl child "What would you like most to get?"

"A little baby doll that can cry, scream, drink and wet"

And then away went Rudolph a whizzing like a Saber jet

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town

Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down

Run run Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round

Run run Rudolph...

 

 

SHE BELIEVES IN ME

 

I'm tossin' and turnin' - I can't get to sleep

Got somethin' on my mind I just can't release

Then she whispers to me so softly that she believes in me

If I let her down and try to disguise it

She always sees right through me - always replies that

No matter what I do, she believes in me

All the times I failed - gone slightly off the rails

She's there to remind me that she believes in me

When it all goes wrong and I feel all upon my own

She's there to remind me that she believes in me

Now don't get me wrong - I'm not some kind of fool

I'd give all my world if she asked me to

Cause there's no denying she believes in me

But I'm only human - I'm just a guy

That sometimes makes mistakes and I can't explain why

Well some say she's crazy but she believes in me

All the times I failed - gone slightly off the rails

She's there to remind me that she believes in me

When it all goes wrong and I feel all upon my own

She's there to remind me that she believes in me

Ya - she's there to remind me that she believes in me

Ya - she's there to remind me that she believes in me

 

 

TEARS ARE NOT ENOUGH

 

As every day goes by how can we close our eyes

Until we open up our hearts

We can learn to share and show how much we care

Right from the moment that we start

It seems like overnight we see the world in a different light

Somehow our innocence is lost

How can we look away - cause every single day

We've got to help at any cost

We can bridge the distance only we can make the difference

Don't you know that tears are not enough

If we can pull together we can change the world forever

Heaven knows that tears are not enough

It's up to me and you to make the dream come true

It's time to take our message everywhere - you know

C'est l'amour qui nous rassemble

D'ici a l'ôtre bout de monde

Lets show them Canada still cares

You know that we'll be there

And if we should try - together you and I

Maybe we could understand the reasons why

If we take a stand every woman child and man

We can make it work for God's sake lend a hand

 

 

WHAT DOES IT DO TO YOUR HEART

 

Well it maybe don't need complications

This is a simple situation

There's a chance that this could be the one - yeah

Well you may be wrong or you may be right

But this ain't something you wanna fight

Let your feelings go

Cause you really need to know

CHORUS:

What does it do to your heart

When she hangs on every word you say

When she's casting every single smile your way

What does it do to your soul

When everything she needs

Is simply bein' around the air you breathe

What does it do to your heart

Oh looking from the outside in

I see this something deep within

Can't deny your lives are worlds apart

Yeah sometimes life can be confusing

Tell ya that this ain't no illusion

Let your feelings show

If you really wanna know

CHORUS

What does it do to your heart

When everything she needs

Is simply bein' around the air you breathe

What does it do to your soul

When everything she needs

Is simply bein' around the air you breathe

What does it do to your heart...

 

 

WHEN THE NIGHT COMES

 

Hold on - I'll be back for you it won't be long

But for there's something out there callin' me

Take me down that lonesome road - point me east and let me go

This suitcase weighs me down with memories

CHORUS:

I just wanna be the one you run to

I wanna be the one you come to

I just wanna be there with someone when the night comes

Let's put all our cares behind us

And go where they'll never find us

I just wanna be there beside you when the night comes

Two spirits in the night

We can leave before the mornin' light

When there's nothin' left to lose there's nothin' left to fear

So meet me on the edge of town

Won't keep ya waitin' I'll be round

Then you and I - we'll just roll right outta here

CHORUS

I know there'll be a time for you and I

Just take my hand we'll runaway

We'll pick up all the pieces of this shattered dream

We're gonna make it ours someday

That's when we're comin' back - comin' to stay...

Ooh... When the night comes.........
