Victim of temptation
Can't make it go away You see it and you want it baby Never hear a word I say You know I don't want nothing I don't deserve Oh, no I won't take less than I know I'm worth . All this talking makes me feel like a monkey in a cage Ain't no point in trying to change a man of my age . Love unemotional, purely physical What I'm staying for's a mystery to me Love unemotional, the heart's invisable Love unemotional is what you want from me . People say I'm crazy Wonder why I play your game Sure beats feeling lonely, baby But the story ends the same I want to feel like I'm living in a fairy tale Don't want to be just another broken heart for sale . Do I have to hit my knees and beg for something more Maybe this is not the love I've waited for . Love unemotional, simply physical What I'm staying for's a mystery to me Love unemotional, the girl's insatiable Love unemotional is what you want from me . You feel no shame in being so unkind All touch and zero feeling I don't see a way of changing, your mind . Girl, this kind of life is bound to leave you all alone The light inside your heart is on, but no one's home . Love unemotional, purely physical What I'm looking for's a mystery to me Love unemotional, the heart's invisable Love unemotional's what you want from me . Love unemotional, the soul's invisable What I'm doing here's a mystery to me Love unemotional, the girl's insatiable Love unemotional's what you want from me (You're just a victim of yourself) (You're just a victim of yourself) You're just a victim (You're just a victim of yourself) You're just a victim (You're just a victim of yourself) Yeah yeah (You're just a victim of yourself |

You know just flow to hurt me
And how to take all the pain away Girl, you must be the devil in disguise There were times, I think you knew When I was so afraid of you There's some kind of madness in your eyes You know a place buried deep in my heart Nobody else can see Something in you has taken some kind of hold on me I don't know why I keep coming back to you, baby I don't know why I keep coming back to you To you baby You say we shouldn't be lovers And I say we can't just be friends And all this talking just makes me want me want you more You've got a way of confusing a heart That nobody else could do Why should I try, I don't want to get over you I don't know why I keep coming back to you, baby Just tell me why I keep coming back to you I don't know why I keep coming back to you, my baby Tell me why I keep coming back to you I'm so in love, so in love with the games that you play So in love, and nothing can keep me away You've got a way of confusing a heart That nobody else could do Why should I try, I don't want to get over you I don't know why I keep coming back to you, baby Just tell me why I keep coming back to you I don't know why I keep coming back to you, baby Teel me why I keep coming back to you I don't know why I keep coming back to you, baby Tell me why I keep coming back to you I don't know why I keep coming back to you, baby Just tell me why I keep coming back to you |

I've been where you are before
No one understands it more You fear every step you take So sure that your heart will break It's not how the story ends You'll be back on your feet again Baby, this time There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away No more goodbyes There ain't nothing gonna take my heart away The pain's still alive in you For what one man put you through You say that we're all the same But I'm called by no other name We all need a place to run Won't you let me be the one Don't keep the dream in you locked outside your door Just believe in this love And don't be afraid anymore I need you to please be strong I've waited for you too long |

My mother came to hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes That boy's not right Three years ago when I came to know Mary First time that someone looked beyond the rumers and the lies And saw the man inside We used to walk down by the river She loved to watch the sun go down We used to walk along the river And dream our way out of this town No one understood what I felt for Mary No one cared until the night she went out walking alone And never came home Man with a badge came knocking next morning Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly Pointed right at me I swear I felt her by the river I swear I felt her safe and sound I need to make it to the river And leave this old Nebraska town I think about my life gone by And how it's done me wrong There's no escape for me this time All of my rescues are gone, long gone I swear I felt her by the river I swear I felt her safe and sound I need to make it to the river And leave this old Nebraska town |

We're all victims of the system, still we love to place the blame,
we're running out of choices and there's no rules to the game. I'm getting tired of feeling this way, what can a single man do? what can he say? Every day you walk the edge of a knife, you're left with nothing at the end of your life. They've got their hands in your pocket, they'll take the clothes off your back... ...They'll stop you like a heart attack. We put people into power but we fight our wars alone, they take such good care of the rest of the world, but, what about the folks? At home, oh yeah! Point the finger at the man you chose, he'll say he's sorry, but it's just the way it goes. He sits in judgement like a king on a throne, 'till that November when he'll beg for a bone... ...Brother, don't ignore the facts...! |

I had a dream that you stood right in front of me
And called to me in black and white Though I could see you, I couldn't reach you You faded into the light And when the sun turns a dream to reality I'm left with such an empty space I feel your spirit, know that I'm near it I swear I can see your face Hear me calling you Calling you But you just don't seem to answer anymore Am I supposed to pretend I don't feel the pain Like it happened only yesterday No use in trying, to stop the crying I can't make it go away Hear me calling you Calling you But you just don't seem to answer anymore I'm calling you Calling you And I'm afraid you won't answer anymore Where is the healing you promised me Maybe this feeling will burn in me forever Hear me calling you Calling you But you just don't seem to answer anymore I'm calling you Calling you And I'm afraid that you won't answer anymore Calling you And I'm afraid that you won't answer anymore |

You're the queen of your own little world - you really made a splash
Got the offers rollin' in but you're nothing more than high paid trash Everybody wants to know what goes on in your head Pity if they found out that you're lonely in your bed Maybe it all happened to you just a little too fast Won't let anybody touch you So you do it for yourself Plain to see there's a woman ... Cryin' out for help You're a superstar, but you don't know who you are And your money won't get you very far You're a mystery, nothing can set you free Your demons haunt you endlessly You face the end of your youth in a tired little masquerade You talk to people with a tongue like a newly sharpened razor blade Yours is not a life that lets you take a look inside Morals and convictions meet a fate of genocide But in the end you'll be sleeping in the bed you made All you want's a daddy The one you never had (There's) a need for understanding ... Achin' in you bad You're a superstar, but you don't know who you are And your money won't get you very far You're a mystery, it seems so clear to me There's something that you'd rather be Take a look around you now before it's much too late Make the choice to change or be a victim of your fate All your life you've been running from the girl inside You're a superstar, but you don't know who you are And your fame won't get you very far You're a mystery, oh but it's plain to see yeah There's someone that you'd rather be .... You're a superstar ... And your money won't get you very far You're a mystery, and it's plain to me yeah There's someone that you'd rather be ...." SUPERSTAR : Richard Marx (c) 1991 Chi-Boy Music ASCAP |

She's still another party blonde / Who had it all her way
Now just another hanger on / With a faded resume He's gonna be a leading man / In the Gary Cooper mold Now working at a pretzel stand / But it's him that's getting sold Big dreamer gonna take the town / But she's running out of time Still singing at a sleazy lounge / To a house of drooling swine Self satisfied narcissist / With a body like a god He's thinking that's all there is / But I don't want that job Streets of pain / They don't hear the crying Streets of pain / Never felt the tears Streets of pain / They just keep on lying Get it through your head / 'Cause some things never change Won't it finally be obvious / That there's very little chance Can't they see it's a Greyhound bus / And not their handsome prince Isn't anybody satisfied / With the average girl next door Does she have to be glamorized / So the world will love her more Streets of pain / Sinking like a rock in a river Streets of pain / Never felt so cold Streets of pain / Lower than a snake can slither Not to mention all the / Stories never told Pretty girl becomes a socialite / Standing in somebody else's light Anything can happen late at night In the morning she'll be out of sight Made a million on a lucky streak / Threw it all away as foolishly One of many comic tragedies / What else can there be So you better get on the road / To the desolation station And you better bring all you own / It's a permanent vacation We're waiting here with open arms / But it isn't what it seems Just looking for the boulevard / On the trail of broken dreams Streets of pain / They don't hear the crying Streets of pain / Never felt the tears Streets of pain / They just keep on lying Get it through your head / 'Cause some things never change Streets of pain / Sinking like a rock in a river Streets of pain / Never felt so cold Streets of pain / Lower than a snake can slither Not to mention all the / Stories never told |

Got a house full of fortune and they pay me in gold
For something I'd do for free But there's still something missing that a man can't hold It's like a weight over me So scared the thrill will be gone But I'm the one who keeps the pressure on All I've got is all I need But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone All I've got is all I need But I get no sleep and I know I'm not alone Well, I'm sick of walking 'round with blood in my eyes Just keeping up with this town I'm a roadrunner racing, but I don't see the signs I've got to learn to slow down My life makes it hard to complain But there's time I'd take my school days back again All I've got is all I need But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone All I've got is all I need But I get no sleep and I know I'm not alone Four o'clock and I'm still counting sheep Love to change the system, but I'm in too deep I keep the pressure far away as I can But it still comes back again, back again, yeah, yeah My life makes it hard to complain But there's time I'd take my school days back again All I've got is all I need But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone All I've got is all I need But I get no sleep and I know I'm not alone All I've got is all I need But I get no sleep and I'm sure I'm not alone I'm not alone, yeah |

I've been searching / Not the first or the last
Trying to figure out the mystery of the half empty glass Time is turning for the rest of the world While a temporary leap of faith helps the story unfurl They say that hearts don't stay broken Even though the scars remain And eyes don't stay swollen Even if it feels that way But it's not that serious / I'm a big boy now And I'm not delirious / So don't show me how Cause I've gotten beyond the agony And my perspective is saving me Never doubted what the cards would reveal And if the joker showed his ugly face Not that big of a deal It's just a moment in the scheme of it all But it's difficult to visualize when the axe starts to fall But then a heart won't stay broken Even on its darkest day The right door could open Pick you up and drift away But it's not that serious / I'm a big boy now And I'm not delirious / So don't show me how Cause I've gotten beyond the agony And my perspective is saving me With all the confusion How does anybody come through But life is illusion And no one can tell you what you've gotta do You know a heart won't stay broken Even on its darkest day The right door could open Pick you up and drift away (Repeat Chorus |

Out of my sight
But the vision is still the same Out of my mind But the memory remains unchanged stones thrown in anger hold twice the hurt Return to sender could only make things worse Girl, You've got to break these chains around my heart Cause I've been lonely too long You've got to break these chains around my heart So I can finally get on with my life Don't ask me why Why I've lived with this all alone Locked up inside And it's cutting me to the bone Love is a stranger avoiding me Beware of danger's the only sign I see Girl, You've got to break these chains around my heart Cause I've been lonely too long You've got to break these chains around my heart So I can finally get on with my life Are you listening Is there something that you'd like to say Am I getting through Are you just gonna leave me this way Girl, You've got to break these chains around my heart Before it tears me in two You've got to break these chains around my heart That's all I'm asking of you You've got to break these chains around my heart Cause I've been lonely too long You've got to break these chains around my heart So I can finally get on with my life |

The warmest day of all my life
You came to me, I held you in my hands And something changed forever I want you for a better time To know the beauty of our Mother Earth Cherish her forever Never felt in such a hurry So little time, so much to do I lie awake and dream the dreams I'll share with you This is your world now No one can chase all your fears away This is your world now Trust in your heart to lead the way I still recall a day so clear I saw the future in my mother's eyes Filled with tears of sorrow The years roll by, the times do change The truth around us harder to disguise As we face tomorrow So many promises were made me So little hope remains alive I only pray the dreams I leave you will survive This is your world now No one can chase all your fears away Fight for your world now Trust in your heart to find the way You'll see what I'm saying / When you're on your own The war that you're facing / Isn't yours alone I am a man in search of reasons Though I am still as much to blame It's up to me to leave you more than just my name This is your world now No one can chase all your fears away Fight for your world now Trust in your heart to lead the way This is your world now I want to chase all your fears away Fight for your world now I know that somehow you'll find your way |
