"Let's Talk About Us"

"Let's Talk About Us"


Let's sit down
Let's have a nice long talk about us
You start

Let's go out
Let's walk down the street
We'll fool around
Walking on the kerb
Walking on the kerb

I've always wanted you
I dreamed of you at night
I couldn't see your face
But I knew you were the one
Right from the start
You treated me just the way you should

I've always wanted you
I dreamed of you at night
I couldn't see your face
But I knew you were the one
I knew you were the one

Good things happening for us all the time
Good things happening for us all the time

Everyday I get a little sunshine
Even though the day's a rainy day
Everyday you give me all your loving
And I thank you

Romance me
Sweet talk me
Send me weak at the knees
Let's dance around the room
I've always wanted you
I dreamed of you at night
I couldn't see your face
But I knew you were the one

Good things happening for us all the time
Good things happening for us all the time

Everyday I get a little sunshine
Even though the day's a rainy day
Everyday you give me all your loving
And I thank you

Good things are happening for us all the time

"Like Fire"

"Like Fire"



I'm trembling
You got the touch
I'm under
And you got the power

When I feel your body next to mine
I know everything is gonna be all right

Hey, I'm trembling
I'm all on edge
I'm under
And you've got the power

You can be fire
Or sugar sweet like honey
Like honey
When you wanna be

When you're around me
It's like the sun up above
You may be fooling
But I'm deep in love
Let's stay together
That's how it should be
I'll only leave
If you leave me

I'm walking
I'm in the air
Who needs money
To ease the care

All it takes is just one kiss
Just one kiss will buy off a million tears

I'm walking
I'm in the air

You can be fire
Or sugar sweet like honey
Like honey
When you wanna be

I'm walking
I'm in the air

When I hear you call my name
Gives me the feeling that I love so much

I'm under
You've got the power
I'm under
You've got the power

Call me on the telephone
Just to say you love me and how much

"Living For You"

"Living For You"



If you could only see
Just what you mean to me
You would never ever
Pass me by
You would take my number
And you'd call me up
You would never ever make me cry

'Cos you know
That I'm living for you baby
You know
That it's you
It's you or die
You know
That I'm living for you baby
And I can't give in
Give up on your love

If you could only see
Just what you do to me
You would never ever
Pass me by
You'd forget the others
I'd be your favourite lover
You would never want to
Leave my side

'Cos you know
That I'm living for you baby
You know
That it's you
It's you or die
You know
That I'm living for you baby
And I can't give in
Give up on your love

Your love has got
Me in a spin
I turn around
And I begin again
Your love has got
Me in a spin
I turn around
And I begin again
I just can't give in
Give up on your love

You know
That I'm living for you baby
You know
That it's you
It's you or die
You know
That I'm living for you baby
And I can't give in
Give up on your love

If you could only see
Just what you do to me
You would never ever
Pass me by
Don't pass me by
Don't pass me by
Don't pass me by
Don't pass me by

You know
That I'm living for you baby
You know
That it's you
It's you or die
You know
That I'm living for you baby
And I can't give in
Give up on your love

"Liza"

"Liza"



I see you looking at me
I know we're from different sides of town
You’ve never travelled
And I've been all around
Hey
Let me take your hand
Hey hey yeah
From where I stand
You're in need of a friend
So let the good times roll
Let the good times roll

I see something in you
I see it - how come they don't
You're a good person
And they'll come around
Hey let me take your hand
Hey hey yeah yeah
I can see you change
You’re in need of a friend
So let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll

Everybody says
Don't hang around with Liza
She's from the wrong side of town
The part where folks live on welfare
The part where you find needles on the ground
It's the side where the kids hang out in gangs
And wear the hoodies
And the masks
To hide their face
If you make friends with a girl like that
Well it’s a big disgrace

Everybody say
This that
This that
This that
This that

Hey Liza
I’d like a friend like you
Hey Liza
I think you're kind of cute
Hey Liza
I'm gonna make up my own mind
I'm gonna make up my own mind

I see you looking at me
I know we're from different sides of town
You’ve never travelled
And I've been all around
Hey Liza
Let me take your hand
Hey hey yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
From where I stand
You're in need of a friend
So let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll

"Lonely Lady"

"Lonely Lady"



Lonely lady dressed in blue
Everything on love dreams comes true
Lonely lady dressed in green
From riches to rags
Well, so it seems

Thank another guy
He’s never been round to see her
She’s a believer
Yeah

Lonely lady specked in a car
These times you wouldn't love at all
Lonely lady, love’s extreme
From rags to riches
Well, so it seems

Just try to run, someone say it can’t be done
She’s a believer, she’s a believer
She's seen many dreams come true
For him she’s doing all that she can do
She’s a believer
She's seen every curse come true
For him she’s doing all that she can do

Just try to run, someone say it can’t be done
She’s a believer, she’s a believer
She's seen many dreams come true
For him she’s doing all that she can do
She’s a believer
She's seen every curse come true
For him she’s doing all that she can do

"Lost The Love"

"Lost The Love"



Baby's gone
Baby's gone and left me
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry for the thing

I wouldn't blame you
If you never come back
Darling what you had to go through
I could never live like that
I was stupid stupid stupid
I'm ashamed

I lost the friends we made
I lost the money we saved
I lost the love you gave
In the early days
I had everything
Threw it all away
Threw it all away
I was mad

Darling I've changed
You have my word on that
I was a fool to myself
And a devil to you
Now I hurt you really hurt me
Ashamed
I miss the fun we had
I miss the games we played
I knew the score
Still I cheated
Now I'm history
Threw it all away
Threw it all away
I was mad I was mad
I was mad

I lost the friends we made
I lost the money we saved
I lost the love you gave
In the early days
I had everything
Couldn't ask for more
Threw it all away
It's so sad I was bad I was mad

I lost a precious thing
Respect from you
I blew it all
Now I want it back
It's good news day
When you call me up
Please won't you call me
I'll be good

"Love And Affection"

"Love And Affection"



I am not in love
But I'm open to persuasion
East or West
Where's the best
For romancing

With a friend
I can smile
But with a lover
I could hold my head back
I could really laugh
Really laugh

Thank you
You took me dancing
'Cross the floor
Cheek to cheek
But with a lover
I could really move
Really move
I could really dance
Really dance
Really dance
Really dance
I could really move
Really move
Really move
Really move

Now if I can feel the sun
In my eyes
And the rain on my face
Why can't I
Feel love

I can really love
Really love
Really love
Really love
Really love
Love love love love
Love love love love

Now I got all
The friends that I want
I may need more
But I shall just stick to those
That I have got
With friends I still feel
So insecure

Little darling I believe you could
Help me a lot
Just take my hand
And lead me where you will
No conversation
No wave goodnight
Just make love
With affection

Sing me another love song
But this time
With a little dedication
Sing it, sing it
You know that's what I like
Once more with feeling
Give me love
Give me love
Give me love
Love...

"Love Bug"

"Love Bug"



It may rain tomorrow
But tonight is all that's on my mind
My baby's here
In my arms
You know we've got it bad
Cos tonight we've got the love virus

We've both come down with the love bug
And it means we've got to stay in bed
I hope yous guys don't catch this
Cos it knocks you right off a your legs

Love bug
Talking bout love bug
I said love bug
You know I mean love bug

Let me explain the symptoms
First of all there's hardly any pain
With the love bug
You kind of lose you memory
You see
Hear
Think
Talk
Dream
Care
Just for one person
Only

Don't come down with the love bug
Cos it drives the sense
Right out of your head

This thing strikes in a curious way
It only hits when you're not looking

Don't stand close to anybody
Who'll contaminate you
If you come down with the virus
Well you'll never be alone again

We've both come down with the love bug
And it means we've got to stay in bed
I hope yous guys don't catch this
Cos it knocks you right off a your legs

Love bug
Talking bout love bug
I said love bug
You know I mean love bug
I said love bug

Talking bout love bug
Yeah love bug
You know I mean love bug
Yeah love bug
Talking bout love bug
Yeah love bug

"Love By You"

"Love By You"



Anybody looking on
They can see
I'm not so good
People in the know
they can see that I miss you
In the night
With no one to hear me
I'm afraid and I cry
Seasons change
But there's nothing changes my mind

I've been loving you too long
And I can't seem to stop
You are my lifeline
You make me happy
I said that
I had to say it baby
Who on earth ever held me like you
I'd like to see someone try
Love by you
And no other loving will do

In your time
Baby come back to me
Don't leave this girl
Lost in space
You're the one who could
Guide me out of this maze
