- It Be's That Way Sometime
- The Look Of Love
Letra
The look of love is in your eyes A look your smile can't disguise The look of love Is saying so much more than just words could ever say And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to love you, now that I have found you You've got the look of love, It's on your face A look that time can't erase Be mine tonight Let this be just the start of so many nights like this Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to hold you, now that I have found you Don't ever go I love you so Don't ever go Don't ever go - Go To Hell
Letra
Now if your mind lies in the Devil's workshop And evil duens your thrill And trouble and mischief is all you live for You know darn well That you'll go to hell So you're living high and mighty Rich off the fat of the land Just don't dispose of your natural soul 'cos you know darn well That you'll go to hell I say hell Where your natural soul burns Hell Where you pay for your sins Hell Keep your children from wrongdoing 'cos you know darn well That they'll go to hell. I say hell Man, woman were created Hell To live for eternity Hell With an apple they ate from the tree of hate So you know darn well That they went to hell Now Satan was an angel in heaven But he stirred up trouble and woe So the LORD commanded that the Devil be branded So you know darn well He went to hell Yeah, he went to hell Yeah, he went to hell He went to hell. - Love O' Love
- Cherish
Letra
Cherish is the word I use to describe All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you You don't know how many times I've wished that I could Mold you into someone who could Cherish me as much as I cherish you Perish is the word that more than applies To the hope in my heart each time I realize That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes That I am not gonna be the one to share what Seems to be the life that you could Cherish as much as I do yours Oh I'm beginning to think that man has never found The words that could make you want me That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound That could make you hear, make you see That you are drivin' me out of my mind Oh I could say I need you but then you'd realize That I want you just like a thousand other girls Who'd say they loved you With all the rest of their lies When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands And gaze into your eyes Cherish is the word I use to describe All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you You don't know how many times I've wished that I could Mold you into someone who could Cherish me as much as I cherish you And I do cherish you And I do cherish you Cherish is the word - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free
Letra
I wish I knew how It would feel to be free I wish I could break All the chains holding me I wish I could say All the things that I should say Say 'em loud say 'em clear For the whole round world to hear I wish I could share All the love that's in my heart Remove all the bars That keep us apart I wish you could know What it means to be me Then you'd see and agree That every man should be free I wish I could give All I'm longin' to give I wish I could live Like I'm longin' to live I wish I could do All the things that I can do Though I'm way overdue I'd be starting anew. Well I wish I could be like a bird in the sky How sweet it would be If I found I could fly I'd soar to the sun And look down at the sea And I sing 'cause I know How it feels to be free - Turn Me On
Letra
Like a flower waiting to bloom Like a light bulb in a dark room I am sitting here waiting for you to come home and turn me on Like the desert waiting for rain Like a school kid waiting for spring I am sitting here waiting for you to come back home and turn me on My poor heart, it's been so dark Since you've been gone After all you're the one who turned me off Now you're the only one that can turn me back on Uh My hi-fi's waiting for a new tune And my glass is waiting for some fresh ice-cubes I'm just sitting here waiting for you to come on Back home and turn me own. - Turning Point
Letra
See the little brown girl She's as old as me She looks just like chocolate Oh mummy can't you see We are both in first grade She sits next to me I took care of her mum When she skinned her knee She sang a song so pretty On the Jungle Gym When Jimmy tried to hurt her I punched him in the chin Mom, can she come over To play dolls with me? We could have such fun mum Oh mum what'd you say Why not? oh why not? Oh. . . I. . . see. . . - Some Say
- Consummation
Letra
And now we are one Let my soul rest in peace At last it is done My soul has been released For thousands of years My soul has roamed the earth In search for you So that someday I could give birth To know joy, joy, joy, joy Joy and peace is mine Peace divine And now we give thanks Give thanks for each other At peace forever For it is done At peace forever For we are one - Why Must Your Love Well Be So Dry
