Fool's game to risk perfection
Out here alone on a wire Unsuspecting victim of desire You wear a thousand faces A master of disguise And I'm addicted to the madness in your eyes You will always be the one I dream about And I know my heart won't beat the same again You will always be the shadow of a doubt Now I go crazy wondering what we might have been Your charms have made me suffer Why do I care where you are I'm afraid my dignity has strayed too far Can't read what you're writing Unable to make the call Do you want me desperately Or not at all You will always be the one I dream about And I know my heart won't beat the same again You will always be the one I dream about Now I go crazy wondering what we might have been Can't read what you're writing Unable to make the call Do you want me desperately Or not at all You will always be the one I dream about And I know my heart won't beat the same again You will always be the shadow of a doubt Now I go crazy wondering what we might have been Now I go crazy wondering what we might have been I go crazy wondering what we might have been |

The world’s greatest mystery
Is love between the woman and the man Some guys are Romeos Others simply do the best they can I’m just your average, ordinary Joe Tryin’ to learn things I never knew I had to know What’s a man supposed to do I don’t get no kick from nine to five And I’m not a man who thinks it’s true It’s a woman’s place to keep a love alive I’ve watched enough daytime TV To know my baby’s needs But sometimes I swear that’s she’s impossible to please She says You give me all that I want of your money, baby But you never take me dancing I really think I do a lot to show How I feel about her in my way Roses on our anniversary Candlelight and me on her birthday Just when I thought that I had it all worked out Now she says I still don’t know what it’s all about She says You give me all that I want of your money, baby But you never take me dancing You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, baby Bu you never take me dancing I’m just your average, ordinary Joe Tryin’ to learn things I never knew I had to know Chorus |

Your eyes burn through me
Oh, like a raging fire I fall blissfully Everytime you say just one little word You know it makes me crazy You ask way too much Oh, when you say that I can look but do not touch I have never wanted any other girl The way I want you, baby I surrender to what I can’t control Drunk with desire, I’ve opened up my soul You know I would go around the world, I’d take you anywhere Oh, baby, anywhere For a touch of heaven Tell me what you want, I’ll give you anything Oh, baby, everything For a touch of heaven I have dreamed of this Your body next to mine Drowning in every kiss How I’ve longed to find my one and only girl And I found her in you, baby All I ever wanted is everything that you are Don’t leave me longing Be tender with my heart Chorus Everyone says you’ve been leading me on Too late for warnings, I’m already gone Ooh, I surrender to what I can’t control Drunk with desire I’m giving you my soul Chorus |

No needles, no rehab.
No minors, no murder rap. Where's that leave a guy like me, Windy City Square? If all that sells is tragedy, I haven't got a prayer. Should I try to lose it all, kick it off the track? Just to say I took the fall, but "look who's comin' back!" What's the story, where's the dirt? Nobody's happy 'til somebody gets hurt. I don't want to keep up with all that. The garbage that you swallow gonna someday make you fat. Yeah. Normal childhood, beautiful wife. 'Scuse me having a wonderful life. Why should I be hungry for someone else's pain? Heroes should have something but talent for fame. Double-barrel in the mouth nails it everytime. But that's what legend's all about, Ain't no bigger headline! [Repeat Chorus] Maybe I should frequent all the places I'm avoiding, And maybe you should work on building rather than destroying. If this is making friends, I'd rather be lonely! [Guitar Interlude] So where's that leave a guy like me, Windy City Square? I may never make page three, but ask me if I care! [Repeat Chorus |

I whispered you
Words I thought I'd never say. We played the game, But then we tossed the rules away. Could deny it Justify it, But we both know that we went too far. Oh, I can feel you, And I need you, No matter wherever you are. I don't want to watch my love come crashing down, But I can't lie to my heart. I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round. But baby I just can't lie to my heart. I have loved you Longer than you've even known. When you hurt, I hurt. I'm your flesh, and you're my bone. If I could only Be two people, Darlin' I swear we'd both be with you. Oh, I know I'm selfish, But I'm helpless. I want you, and nothing else will do. I don't want to watch my love come crashing down, But I can't lie to my heart. I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round, Rippin' me right apart. I won't pretend anymore. Been hiding too long. I won't go on like before. I'm not that strong! Oh, I can feel it when I'm near you. It's not healthy to need you this way. Try to fight it, get inside it, But this pain is stronger than me, and it won't go away! I don't want to watch my love come crashing down, But I can't lie to my heart. I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round, Rippin' me right apart. I don't want to watch my love come crashing down, But I can't lie to my heart. I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round. Not anymore.. I can't lie anymore.. Baby, I can't. Baby, I can't. No, baby, I just can't lie to my heart. |

Lately I've been trying
To fill up my days since you're gone. The speed of love is blinding, And I didn't knowhow to hold on. My mind won't clear. I'm out of tears. My heart's got no room left inside. How many dreams will end? How long can I pretend? How many times will love pass me by, Until I find you again? Will the arms of hope surround me? Will time be a fairweather friend? Should I call out to angels, Or just drink myself sober again? I can't hide, it's true. I still burn for you. Your memory just won't let me go. How many dreams will end? How long can I pretend? Howmany times will love pass me by, Until I find you again? I'd hold you tighter, Closer than ever before. Yeah. No flame would burn brighter, If I could touch you once more, Hold you once more! [Guitar Interlude] How many dreams will end? How long can I pretend? How many times will love pass me by, Until I find you again? Until I find you again... |

Maybe you’ve noticed how I linger by the door
Looking for ways to hang around I never felt my moment would ever show itself before But I’ve got to speak or lose you now This is my confession I bare my soul to you This is my confession The one thing I can do How will I ever make you mine If you don’t know that I’m alive I confess to you My love for you He’ll never say the words I’ve rehearsed a million times Or stop your tears before they fall He’ll never even try to put his thoughts of you in rhymes His heart is barely there at all This is my confession I bare my soul to you This is my confession The one thing I can do How will I ever make you mine If you don’t know that I’m alive I confess to you My love for you I have always believed somehow I’d be standing right here before you now Hoping the last breath I take I take in your arms This is my confession I bare my soul to you This is my confession The one thing I can do How will I ever make you mine If you don’t know that I’m alive I confess to you My love for you |

Is it that we've been together much too long?
The answer may not be in black and white We're always trying to prove who's right or wrong, Yet now we're giving up without a fight But I know when you're gone, I'll wish I held on So, baby, surrender to me There'll be no holding back now So, baby, surrender to me tonight I don't want our love to cause you so much pain If this is how it's going to be, I'll walk away Oh, neither one of us should ever say goodbye Let's forget about the past and who's to blame, 'Cause when this is all gone, We'll wish we'd held on So, baby, surrender to me There'll be no holding back now So, baby, surrender to me tonight How could this love be in danger That used to be so good, so right? To think that fate could make us strangers Has thrown me in your arms tonight! So, baby, surrender to me There'll be no holding back now So, baby, surrender to me tonight So, baby, surrender . . . |

I was born on the banks of Eternity,
A page of the history it teaches. Not a care, lived my life like a hurricane, Leaving everything along the way in pieces. Some may have cheered, some may have wondered, If I am flesh, if I am stone. Thoughts of you tear through me like thunder. You are the light that has led me back home. Take me to the river, baby. Wash away the lies. I've got no reputation living in your eyes. Take me to Eternity. Let me bury this disguise. A Southern boy has it harder sometimes. It's like you were climbing a razor. You were there when my dreams had all turned to dust, And the man in the mirror was a stranger. Look at me now, a soulless survivor. No mask can hide the man that I've made. You ease my pain. You make it silent. Slowly I feel it beginning to fade. Take me to the river, baby. Wash away the lies. I've got no reputation living in your eyes. Take me to Eternity. Let me bury this disguise. I want to feel it, Rushing over me into the tide. I want to taste it, Every moment 'til the end of my life! I have laid still, adrift in your memory, Hoping your faith would erase all the years. Maybe some time, maybe some magic, Maybe your love will make everything clear. Take me to the river, baby. Wash away the lies. I've got no reputation living in your eyes. Take me to Eternity. Let me bury this disguise. Take me to the river, baby. Wash away the lies. There are no expectations hiding in your eyes. Take me to Eternity. Let me bury this . . . disguise. |

I may be rotten to the core
And stop me if you think I am A kid in a candy store The same as any dirty old man I know I’m not the first to see I guarantee I’m not the last So take some good advice from me Just try it once before you ask I hear an enticing voice (Live it up, live it up, do it now, boy) I don’t like the other choice (Live it up, live it up) What’s wrong with that What’s wrong with the fountain of youth What’s wrong with that What’s wrong with a little self delusion Who you think is foolin’ who And who will be the last to laugh Here’s another lame excuse You’re old enough to be her dad I’ve heard all the reasons why (Give it up, give it up, take a powder) I turn them my blindest eye (Give it up, give it up) What’s wrong with that What’s wrong with the fountain of youth What’s wrong with that What’s wrong with a little self delusion What’s wrong with that What’s wrong with a flower in bloom What’s wrong with that What’s wrong with a little self delusion Days don’t hide secrets of the heart Only you and I do Little white lies rip you right apart And any way they want to Life goes by, done before you start I can’t wait around to satisfy you Chorus out |

Hope you don’t believe a word
Of all the things I know you’ve heard about me Really just a pack of ies You see the truth before your eyes around me Hard to keep it straight The real from the ruse Probably way too late What can I do, but it’s Not what you think Not what you hear Not what you see It’s just the image It’s all on a string All fantasy Not really me It’s just the image Would it be too much to ask That you could just gvie me the chance to prove it Or would it only be a waste of time To try to make you change your mind and use it What I’ve been looking for Isn’t what I thought Not behind the golden door You’re all I’ve got, and it’s Not what you think Not what you hear Not what you see It’s just the image It’s all on a string All fantasy Not really me It’s just the image What I’ve been looking for Isn’t what I thought Not behind the golden door You’re all I’ve got, and it’s Not what you think Not what you hear Not what you see Just the image It’s all on a string All fantasy Not really me It’s just the image Not what you think Not what you hear Not what you see It’s just the image It’s all on a string All fantasy Not really me It’s just the image |

You make me smile
You make me sing You make me feel good, everything You bring me up When I've been down This only happens when you're around Chorus: And I can't go on this way With it stronger every day But being too shy to say I really love you I wanna fly Away with you Until there's nothing left for us to do I wanna be More than a friend Until the end of an endless end Chorus x 2 |

Never knew love before.
Never dreamed there could be something more. Felt my heart overflow With the danger of needing you so. It's a mystery I can't explain, But I shiver when I hear your name. You are the fire, Every desire. Breathless we fall in love. Love is the answer, We are the dancers. Breathless we fall in love, We fall in love. You've crept into my soul, And I'm ready to lose all control, Let our hearts fill with light. Every movement you make is so right. It's a mystery I can't explain, But I shiver when I hear your name. No need to worry, No need to hurry. Breathless we fall in love. Love is the answer, We are the dancers. Breathless we fall in love. We fall in love. It's a mystery I can't explain, But I shiver when I hear your name. |

It's hard to see reason when there's so little
hope alive, But this is the season to put faith in innocent eyes. We're all thinking too much, we're so out of touch. We need to start over again. So just let it wander, 'cause you're never too old to pretend. Tell you, just a little miracle is all you need to believe Just a little miracle is all you need to believe. It's not too late to wake up. Don't make no difference who you are. Just take off your make-up, And discover the child in your heart. We're all thinking too much, we're so out of touch. We need to start over again. So just let it wander 'cause you're never too old to pretend. |
