"War Paint And Soft Feathers"

"War Paint And Soft Feathers"


They were from two warring tribes
So their love could never be
He was a painted Apache
And she was a Cherokee
He was stealing her father's horses
When he saw her standing there
Moon braided bits of silver
All through her long black hair

War paint and soft feathers
Love was meant to be
Even though he was Apache
She was a blue-eyed Cherokee
War paint and soft feathers
Under the pale moon light
Doing what tribal laws forbid
As drums brought the silence of the night

His strong arms circled round her waist
His headband touched her brow
They were of two different tongues
But their lips met anyhow
Next to a small oak tree
Crossed spears forbid their love
There'd been no peace between their tribes
Long as eagles soar above

War paint and soft feathers
Love was meant to be
Even though he was Apache
She was a blue-eyed Cherokee
War paint and soft feathers
Under the pale moon light
Doing what tribal laws forbid
As drums brought the silence of the night

Now the leaves have fallen to the ground
Over and over again
From the small oak tree grown taller
Where once crossed spears had been
A young man rides his pinto horse
And he stands there tall and free
The son of a wild Apache
And a blue-eyed Cherokee

War paint and soft feathers
Love was meant to be
Even though he was Apache
She was a blue-eyed Cherokee
War paint and soft feathers
Under the pale moon light
Doing what tribal laws forbid
As drums brought the silence of the night

War paint and soft feathers
Love was meant to be
Even though he was Apache
She was a blue-eyed Cherokee
War paint and soft feathers
Under the pale moon light
Doing what tribal laws forbid
As drums brought the silence of the night

"Wasn't It Good"

"Wasn't It Good"


Wasn't it good
The way that I touched you late last night
Wasn't it good again
In the morning's early light

Did you know when you closed
That bedroom door
I betcha didn't know exactly what
I had in store

Wasn't it good
When you felt it coming through you
Wasn't it good
That I knew just how to do you

Did you know you never had it
Like this before
I betcha didn't know
You'd be coming around
Back for more, more, more

Let's have a party
Love's pouring out of my soul
I'm your party hearty
And let the future take control

Just remember my darling
When there's time to spare
You'll be thinking about me
And our hot affair
Saying wasn't it good
Wasn't it good so good

Did you know you never had it
Like this before
And I betcha didn't know
You'd be coming around
Back for more, more, more

Let's have a party
Love's pouring out of my soul
I'm your party hearty
And let the future take control

Let's have a party
We'll make the best of it while we can
God you won't be sorry,
Cause I'm committed to
Pleasing my man, my man
Just remember my darling
When there's time to spare
I'll be thinking about you
And our hot affair
Saying wasn't it good
Wasn't it good so good

Do you love her, can you dig it,
Did I do it to you baby so good
Did you want it, can you dig it,
Do you love it baby, baby so good
Was it was it really good,
You love it didn't you lover
God I'm so ooh shoot, am I good
Did you love it did you want it
Can you dig it
Baby, baby so good

"We All Fly Home"

"We All Fly Home"


Suddenly now
I'm beginning to see clear
Well I'm free again
Making me feel all right
Look at me now
No more going through changes
Cause a little outrageous
Right there in the night

Sooner or later,
You got to let down your shield
Sooner or later, yeah
We all fly home
Well we all fly home
And when on a cold black night
Gives up a fight
We all fly home

Well where will you turn
When you're tired of running
Will you hear me calling,
Telling you which way to go
Don't pretend that you
Don't feel the danger
Cause it's the only stranger
Out there in the cold

Sooner or later,
You got to let down your shield
Sooner or later, yeah
We all fly home
Well we all fly home
And when on a cold black night
Gives up a fight
We all fly home

"We All Sleep Alone"

"We All Sleep Alone"


Somebody, somewhere turns off the lights
Somebody all alone faces the night
You got to be strong when you're out on your own
'Cause sooner or later we all sleep alone

Nobody, nowhere holds the key to your heart
When love's a possession, it'll tear you apart
You may have lovers wherever you roam
But sooner or later, oh, we all sleep alone

Oh, he young and the young at heart waits
But the wait never ends in the soul
When you feel like it's all blown away
Independence has come and into the night I go

Don't make no promises that I can't keep
I won't be no prisoner of somebody's needs
You may have lovers wherever you roam
But sooner or later, ooh, we all sleep alone

Ooh, we all sleep alone
Yeah, yeah, we all sleep alone, yeah
And I know, and I know how you feel
What you're thinkin', what you're saying to me
'Cause we all sleep alone, yes, we all sleep alone

"We're Gonna Make It"

"We're Gonna Make It"


We may not have the cent
To pay the rent
But we gonna make it, yeah
We might have to eat beans everyday
But we gonna make it
I know we will
And if a job
Is hard to find
And we stand in the welfare line
I got your love
You know you got mine
And we gonna make it
I know we will
We may not have a home to call our own
But we gonna make it, yeah
Might have to fight hearts of stone
But we gonna make it
I know we will
Cause togetherness
Brings peace of mind
And we can't stay down all the time
I got your love
You know you got mine
We gonna make it
I know we will
Our car may be old
Our two rooms cold
But we gonna make it, baby yeah
May not have a roach or crumb
But we gonna make it,

Sayin' Help the deaf
The dumb, and the blind, oh lord
And we can't stay down all the time

Oh it may be hard sometimes, oh yeah

"Welcome To Burlesque"

"Welcome To Burlesque"


Show a little more,
Show a little less,
Add a little smoke
Welcome to Burlesque,
Everything you dream of,
But never can possess
Nothing's what it seems
Welcome to Burlesque,

[Chorus:]
Oh, everyone is buying,
Put your money in my hand,
If you got a little extra
well, give it to the band,
You may not be guilty
But you're ready to confess
Tell me what you need,
Welcome to Burlesque,
You can dream of Coco,
Do it at your risk
The Triplets grant you mercy
But not your every wish,
Jesse keeps you guessing,
So cool and statuesque
"Behave yourself" says Georgia
Welcome to Burlesque,

[Chorus:]
Oh, everyone is buying,
Put your money in my hand,
If you want a little extra,
Well, you know where I am,

Something very dark
Is playing with your mind
It's not the end of days,
It's just a bump and grind

Show a little more
Show a little less
Add a little smoke
Welcome to… Burlesque

"What About The Moonlight"

"What About The Moonlight"


Telling me you don't want to be here, had enough of life
I see your shoulders falling down the mountain
You once loved to climb

Don't you want to talk about it?
Well, saying, there's no life left inside you

What about your loves, what about your dreams?
What about the change tomorrow brings?
What about the moonlight?
What about the way you sigh when it touches you?

On your knees in the teeth of failure
It's got you gagged and bound
You say it's killing you, but listen now I'm tellin' you
Your better days are to come?

Set your sights on simple beauty
Like the way that my eyes shine when I'm around you

What about your loves, what about your dreams?
What about the change tomorrow brings?
What about the moonlight?
What about the way you sigh when it touches you?

Nobody said it would be easy
To take the fall and stand
Just wrap your arms tight around me
And we'll stumble together, until we learn to dance

What about your loves, what about your dreams?
What about the change tomorrow brings?
What about the moonlight?
What about the way you sigh when it touches you?

What about your loves, what about your dreams?
What about the change tomorrow brings?
What about the moonlight?
What about the way you sigh when it touches you?

What about your loves, what about your dreams?
What about the change tomorrow brings?
What about the moonlight?
What about the way you sigh when it touches you?

"What'll I Do"

"What'll I Do"


What'll I do, when you are far away
And I'm so blue what'll I do
What'll I do when I am wondering
Who is kissing you
What'll I do

What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to

When I am alone
With all the dreams of you
That won't come true
What will I do

What'll I do when you are far away
And I am blue what'll I do

"When Love Calls Your Name"

"When Love Calls Your Name"


You can cover your eyes and hide behind walls you've built around you
You can run for your life
Anytime there's a chance of someone breaking through
But sooner or later it comes to us all and even the strongest must fall

When love calls your name there's no saying no
You follow your heart wherever it goes
To the ends of the earth, for the rest of your days
Whatever it takes, yeah, you'll find a way
Through fire and rain, when love calls your name

Now I see a light and it keeps getting brighter
And it shows me the way
And it's there in your eyes, pulling me closer everyday
After all of this time, the tables have turned, yes, I'm finally ready to learn

When love calls your name there's no saying no
You follow your heart wherever it goes
To the ends of the earth, for the rest of your days
Whatever it takes, yeah, you'll find a way
Through fire and rain, when love calls your name

You do what you must, you take it on faith
You take it on trust, you're out of control
And all that you know, your world's not the same
When love calls your name

When love calls your name there's no saying no
You follow your heart wherever it goes
To the ends of the earth, for the rest of your days
Whatever it takes, yeah, you'll find a way
When love calls your name

Ooh, when love calls your name
Ooh, when love calls your name
Ooh, when love calls your name

"When Lovers Become Strangers"

"When Lovers Become Strangers"


You're looking at him from across the room
Wondering just how it all slipped away so soon
You're looking to find some look in his eyes
That will take you back to yesterday

Don't remember the when or the where or why
All you know is that something has changed inside
And you can't bring it back, no matter how you try
You know it's over, you've got to say goodbye

Such a shame when lovers become strangers
Such a shame when you don't know each other any more
And all the memories that you shared are all that's still there
It's such a shame when lovers become strangers

You can't seem to find the right words to say
And it's too late for talking now, anyway
There's no one to blame, it's just not the same
And it's never gonna be the same again, no

So you're trying to figure out what went wrong
Where does the feeling go when the feeling's gone?
And you pray for the strength just to carry on
You've got to let go of someone you've loved so long

It's such a shame when lovers become strangers
Such a shame when you don't know each other any more
And all the memories that you shared are all that's still there
It's such a shame when lovers become strangers

So kiss him goodbye, try to walk away
With your head held high
Think about the good times, don't cry, don't cry
Though it's tearing you apart inside

It's such a shame, such a shame
And you can't bring it back, no matter how you try
You got to let go, you've gotta say goodbye

Such a shame when lovers become strangers
Such a shame when you don't know each other any more
And all the memories that you shared are all that's still there
It's such a shame when lovers become strangers

Such a shame when you don't have each other any more
And all the memories that you shared are all that's still there
It's such a shame when lovers become strangers
Lovers become strangers
