Tell Me the Truth

Tell Me the Truth


(Dieter Bohlen)
Producer for Bonnie: Dieter Bohlen

I told you once I told you twice
This love is not a sacrifice
Oh take my heart and don't be a dreamer
0h tears may go and years may come
See my heart, look what you've done
0h take my heart and don't be a dreamer
Oh don't be a dreamer who's killing my heart

Tell me the truth
Time's on my side
Oh baby give it one more try
Tell me the truth no compromise
Only a strong love will survive
I never tear apart
It's written in my heart
I'll never ever hurt you

I wasted days, I wasted nights
A restless love, an endless fight
Oh take my heart and don't be a dreamer
My world begins and ends with you
A breathless love painted in blue
Oh take my heart and don't be a dreamer
Oh don't be a dreamer who's killing my heart

Tell me the truth
Time's on my side
Oh baby give it one more try
Tell me the truth no compromise
Only a strong love will survive
I never tear apart
It's written in my heart
I'll never ever hurt you

The Best

The Best


(Holly Knight/ Mike Chapman)
Producer for Bonnie: Desmond Child

I call you when I need you
And my heart's on fire
You come to me, come to me
Wild and wired
You come to me, give me everything I need

You bring a lifetime of promises
And a world of dreams
You speak the language of love
Like you know what it means
And it can't be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong

Cause you're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you said
Tear us apart
Baby I would rather be dead

Deep in your heart
I see the start
Of every night and every day
And in your eyes I get lost
I get washed away
Just as long as I'm here in your arms
I could be in no better place
Cause you're simply the best

The Closer You Get

The Closer You Get


(Chris Rea)
Producers for Bonnie: Hugh Murphy/ Ronnie Scott/ Steve Wolfe

The street lights start to come on
I know that it's time
Stop what you're doin'
Meet those drinkin' friends of mine
First guy that called me on the telephone
Said get on down but I'm stayin' at home

Now I believe in love
I believe that it's true
That I'm defenseless
When I'm lookin' at you
Sleepy eyes on an angel's face
Don't worry, baby
No one's gonna take your place

*The closer you get the better you look
Throw me a line
The closer you get the more that I see
We'll sure have a good time
Now I know what you're thinkin'
How do I feel
Well there's no rules in my book
Said the closer you get
Oh the better you took

Keepin' one foot on the showroom
One on the side
I've had some close ones
But I'm doin' all right
There's gold on his fingers
It don't mean a thing
He'll do his best
To hear this sweet lady sing
I've got the time if you got the place
We've got the know how
If you got the space
We've got the power, we've got no shame
Come over, baby
Sure do wanna light your flame, you know

* repeat

The Fire Below


(Bonnie Tyler/ Paul Hopkins/ Peter Oxendale)

What I need
Is what you got
And a man like you must surely have a lot
It's what I need
So now you know
It takes a whole lot of loving
To put out the fire below

And if that's not enough
You know you ain't seen nothing yet
So hold on tight
And don't let go
It takes a whole lot of loving
To put out the fire below

But you sure got a lot to gain

And I won't take no messing around

The Reason Why

The Reason Why


(Paul Hopkins/ Lee Morris)
Producer for Bonnie: Graham Laybourne

Every time you see me walking in the room
Can you see it in my face
I've lost interest in all the things you do
And I'm feeling misplaced

Can you tell me it's over
I don't want a lie
All I really want to know is the reason why

Where did our love go wrong?
Cause I need to know
Can you tell me? can you tell me baby?
Where did our love go wrong?
Cause I need to know
Can you tell me? can you tell me baby?

Oh, I'm sure that you feel the same way too
But you're hiding it inside
There's nothing left for us
Between me and you
Nothing but heartache inside

Can you tell me it's over
I don't want a lie
All I really wanna know is the reason why

Where did our love go wrong?
Cause I need to know
Can you tell me? can you tell me baby?
Where did our love go wrong?
Cause I need to know
Can you tell me? can you tell me baby?

Our love is strong
Come on, we could make it through
There's nothing left to lose
It will be alright - alright

Where did our love go wrong?
Cause I need to know
Can you tell me? can you tell me baby?
Where did our love go wrong?
Cause I need to know
Cause I need to know
I need to know
Where did our love go wrong?
Where did our love go wrong?
Where did our love go wrong?
Where did our love go wrong?
It will be alright - alright

The Rose

The Rose


(Amanda McBroom)
Producers for Bonnie: Harold Faltermeyer and Gernot Rothenbach

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
And you it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream, afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one, who won't be taken
Who can not seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lives a seed, that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose

The World Starts Tonight

The World Starts Tonight


(Ronnie Scott/Steve Wolfe)
Producers for Bonnie: David Mackay, Ronnie Scott, Steve Wolfe

Tonight I'm gonna love you
Tonight I'm gonna try
Tonight I will take my foot off that brake
Cause you made me grasp
What is over is past
And the world starts tonight
Oooh Oooh Oooh...the world starts tonight

Tonight I'm gonna love you
Tonight I know I'll find
That the world still goes on
Just a part of it's gone
Cause you made me grasp
What is over is past
And the world starts tonight
Oooh Oooh Oooh...the world starts tonight

Baby, oh baby, I made a mistake
I thought love was something, they no longer made
But since you have brought back, some love to my eyes
My doubting of people, no longer applies

Tonight I will take my foot off that brake
Cause you made me grasp
What is over is past
And the world starts tonight
Oooh Oooh Oooh...the world starts tonight
Oooh Oooh Oooh...the world starts tonight

Time Mends a Broken Heart

Time Mends a Broken Heart


(Jeff Lynn/ Kiki Dee)
Producer for Bonnie: Christopher Neil

I'm living in another time another place
I knew you then
It used to be a different world
And now I start to live again
A sight of heaven in a grain of sand
Leading me on taking me by the hand

Time mends a broken heart
Time mends a broken heart
Love tears it all apart
But time mends a broken heart

I see you in another life
There's someone else that I didn't know
There's someone else that I don't know
It used to hurt me deep inside
I had to learn to let you go
I thought that happiness was by your side
I didn't know that it was here in me
And still alive

Time mends a broken heart
Time mends a broken heart
Love tears it all apart
But time mends a broken heart

Time mends a broken heart
Time mends a broken heart
Love tears it all apart
But time mends a broken heart

To Love Somebody

To Love Somebody


(Barry Gibb/ Robin Gibb/ Maurice Gibb)
Producer for Bonnie: Desmond Child

There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
There's a way, everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what good does it bring
If I ain't got you

You don't know what it's like
Baby you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you

In my pain, I see your face again
It's burning in my mind
You ain't got to be so blind that I'm alive
I'm a woman, can't you see what I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do, if I ain't got you
If I ain't got you...

Too Hot

Too Hot


(Howard Houston)
Producer for Bonnie: Howard Houston

Hearts beating like a drum
Like foxes on the run
Nothing baby, nothing is forever
It's too late to stop me now
You couldn't anyhow
Baby can't you see us together

Oh oh tell me baby
Oh oh tell me now - tell me now
Tell me now - baby now
Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I'll sail with you the seven seas
Cause I know babe what you feel
Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I say it's like a symphony -
Baby you know the way I feel
Oh be my eternity
Baby come on back home - baby
tonight

Reaching out to take your hand
Together we will stand
Not just in my arms and in my heart
You know I love you so much
Alive my life for your to touch
Was it just a favourite from the start

Oh oh tell me baby
Oh oh tell me now - tell me now
Tell me now - baby now
Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I'll sail with you the seven seas
Cause I know babe what you feel
Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I say it's like a symphony -
Baby you know the way I feel
Oh be my eternity
Baby come on back home - baby
Tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I'll sail with you the seven seas
Cause I know babe what you feel
Are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I say it's like a symphony
Baby know the way I feel

Why are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
I say it's like a symphony
Baby know the way I feel

Why are you too hot
Can't you see it's forever
