"Going Through The Motions"

"Going Through The Motions"



Automatic action
Follow my reflection
I see myself in watching you
Lock into a vision
Rising through the rhythm
Trance until the dance is through
Don't let emotion go the flow is all we know
And baby we're doing it all the way
A step into the night or move into the light

lately we're going through the motions

How can we improve it
Ooh you match my movement
Cryptic choreography
Jump up come down together
No one does it better
Electric eccentricity
No, I don't wanna know how far we're gonna go
But baby we're doing it all the way
A step into the light a move into the night

"Goodnight And Goodmorning"

"Goodnight And Goodmorning"



Funny how the times can change as fast as we can run
Sad to say we had to part when the fun had just begun
Now he night is over
And I'm waiting for the day we can be together
And we can say Goodnight and Goodmorning
From the Dark to the Dawning

I can't believe that I'm in love and you're the one
I can hear a song of love and our song has just begun
When the music's over and we finally walk away
We can walk together
And we can say Goodnight and Goodmorning
From the Dark to the Dawning

"Gotta Lotta Nerve (Perfect Perfect)"

"Gotta Lotta Nerve (Perfect Perfect)"



Oh, no, stop bitching indiscretion
You're such an A-1 lover, since when are you perfection
Never true blue to me, so why are you getting nasty
Well, it's lucky for you that I'm gonna keep dancing
Oh, I know

Everyone you do is perfect
Everyone you know is perfect
Everywhere you go is perfect
So on and so on

But you've gotta lotta nerve when you talk about love
If you've gotta lotta nerve we can talk about love
Oh, you've gotta lotta nerve to be talking about love
Yeah, you gotta lotta nerve 'til we talk about love

Listen to you ... your roots will be showing
Better watch what you say and do
Or da cool you'll be blowing
We're talking 16 tones of nerve-a
We're talking perfect nerve

"Grounds For Separation"

"Grounds For Separation"



Tin can sound and a dead-eyed crowd
Can turn a sane man crazy and a crazy man sad
I can fight with the best, but I can only go so many rounds
And that's grounds for separation
Preparation for better things
Gonna grow a new set of wings
And fly away

Robot action, conditioned response
Manufacture feeling like the Tool and Die
I can turn it on but I'm holding back the guarantee
And that's grounds for separation
Preparation for better things
Gonna grow a new set of wings
And fly away

Music, it's my life and I've got it in me
But isn't it a bit like oxygen, 'cause too much will make you high
But not enough will make you die
So I gotta keep it under control

"Guessing Games"

"Guessing Games"



When I met you I should've been warned
Ooh I could see you change from day to day
But you kept me guessing
Playing for fun
What'll you do what would you say
Strange moods and jealous anger
A kind of passion that I can't explain
You're high strung, that's attraction
But your act is driving me away
(Guessing games) I don't wanna play those
Guessing game
(Don't wanna)
Please don't make me play'em no
(Guessing games)
I don't wanna play those
(Guessing games)
Games

You gotta give me something to hold
That cute routine you got is wearing thin
So baby can you do it for yourself and for me
I don't wanna lose you, I want us to win
Strange moods jealous anger
That kind of passion that you can't explain
You're high strung that's a fact
But don't you let it drive me away
(Guessing games) 'cause I don't wanna play those
Guessing game
(Don't wanna)
Please don't make me play'em no
Guessing games
I don't wanna play those
Games

"Had I Known You Better Then"

"Had I Known You Better Then"


Were you ever so in love
You couldn't wait to get to sleep and dream
About the one you wish was there beside you
In the past few days I've grown
To love your giggles on the phone
And how we hug so nicely

[Chorus:]
And from the first time that I saw you
Has I known you better then
I would've said those three old words
And from the first time I saw you
Had I known you better then

Now I'm gonna move away
Another town another crazy day
Ooh I want to stay and maybe hang around you
Call it luck
Call it fate
Call it a shame that we have met so late
And loved so lightly

[Chorus:]
And from the first time that I saw you
Had I known you better then
I would've said those three old words
And from the first time that I saw you
Had I known you better then

"Halfway There"

"Halfway There"


Girl we've come together
And then we've felt the sadness
That comes when it's thru
Do we walk our own way in a world turned blue
Oh it's true that I can't see rhyme or reason
And when feeling's out of season
What can I do
Except try to walk away with you

[Chorus:]
You and I are halfway there
On some road to somewhere
Can I be the one
You and I are halfway there
Can't we go all the way

We were born in the brave new world
Taught to be modern little boys and girls
Then they tried to take our imagination away
When the guns are firing somewhere
And there's evil in the air
What can be do
Except try to say what's true
You know what's true?
This is true girl

[Chorus]

Oh we must go on
Oh girl, we can't turn back
We can't retreat
We've gotta attack
Be here right now
I'll be here for you
My love won't die
We've gotta break
Break on through

"Hard To Be In Love With You"

"Hard To Be In Love With You"



Don't want to face it but I know that it's time to go home
I cannot say what I want to say when we're alone
I've got to leave but I want to stay
Where you are is so far from the U.S. of A.
When we're more than half a world away
It's so hard to be in love with you

Operator, International 011, oh
Put your love on the line, put your ear to the phone
Maybe it's no longer than a night and a day
But where you are is so far from the U.S. of A.
And it ain't so easy, easy on the heart
It's so hard to be in love with you

 

[fox69]

"Have I Been Away Too Long"

"Have I Been Away Too Long"



There's a chance that I don't know you
Maybe I won't like you
It's a long
It's such a long
Lady it's been a long time
We were lovers in a different story
Can you duplicate it
Can we make
Can we make up
Can we make up the same time girl
Or have I been away too long
Have I been away
I'm afraid to say that I've been away from you too long
You got a message that I'd be in town
I wish I hadn't sent it
I'm a play
I am playing
Playing with disaster
You're so close I almost feel you breathing
Making me twitchy, yeah
I want
I I wanna
I want to be wrong girl
Or have I been away too long
Have I been away
I'm afraid to say that I've been away from you too long

"Head Above Water"

"Head Above Water"



Oceans emotions yeah we all feel the same
Afraid of undertow and great tidal wave
May go under many hundred of times
Keep on kickin', baby throw me a line
C.C. Sick, Mai de Mer
Try, try, try I'm holding on, holding my

Head above water
It's so hard to keep my Head Above Water

No never envy the big fish in da Pond
It's deep and dark when all the surface is gone
My kind of humor kind of keeping me dry
On the horizon, water touches the sky
C. C. Sick, Mal de Mer
Try, try, try I'm holding on, holding my

Head Above Water
It's so hard to keep my Head Above Water.
