I couldn't figure why You couldn't give me what everybody needs I shouldn't let you kick me when I'm down My baby I find out everybody knows that You've been using me I'm surprised you Let me stay around you One day I'm gonna lift the cover And look inside your heart We gotta level before we go And tear this love apart There's no fight you can't fight this battle of love with me You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete There's no life on earth, no other could see me through You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can And I'll be, I'll be following you Following you, oh girl Oh baby, I shake you from now on I'm gonna break down your defenses, one by one I'm gonna hit you from all sides, lay your fortress open wide Nobody stops this body from taking you You better beware, I swear I'm gonna be there one day when you fall I could never let you cast aside The greatest love of all There's no fight you can't fight this battle of love with me You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete There's no life on earth, no other could see me through You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can And I'll be, I'll be following you Following you You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete There's no life on earth, no other could see me through You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can And I'll be, I'll be following you Following, following you You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete There's no life on earth, no other could see me through You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can There's no fight you can't fight this battle of love with me You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete There's no life on earth, no other could see me through You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can There's no fight you can't fight this battle of love with me You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete

The language of love Slips from my lover's tongue Cooler than ice cream And warmer than the sun Dumb hearts get broken Just like china cups The language of love Has left me broken on the rocks But there's just one thing Just one thing But there's just one thing And I really wanna know Who's that girl Running around with you? Tell me, who's that girl Running around with you? The language of love Has left me stony grey Tongue tied and twisted At the price I've had to pay Your careless notions Have silenced these emotions Look at all the foolishness Your lover's talk has done Who's that girl Running around with you? Tell me, who's that girl Running around with you? Tell me, who's that girl 'Cause there's just one thing Just one thing But there's just one thing And I really wanna know Who's that girl Running around with you? Tell me, who's that girl Who's that girl Running around with you? Tell me, who's that girl The cool of an ice cream

Words like violence, break the silence Come crashing in, into my little world Painful to me, pierce right through me Can't you understand? Oh my little girl All I ever wanted, all I ever needed, Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Vows are spoken, to be broken Feelings are intense, words are trivial Pleasures remain, so does the pain Words are meaningless and forgettable All I ever wanted, all I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm All I ever wanted, all I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Words like violence, break the silence Come crashing in, into my little world

Give me time To realize my crime Let me love and steal I have danced inside your eyes How can I be real Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Precious kisses, words that burn me Lovers never ask you why In my heart the fire's burnin' Choose my color find a star Precious people always tell me That's a step, a step too far Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Words are few I have spoken I could waste a thousand years Wrapped in sorrow words are token Come inside and catch my tears You've been talkin' but believe me If its true you do not know This boy loves without a reason I'm prepared to let you go If it's love you want from me Then take it away Everything is not what you see It's over again Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Cry, cry, cry Cry, cry, cry Cry, cry, cry Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry Do you really want to hurt me Do you really want to make me cry

I heard it from my friends About the things you said I heard it from my friends About the things you said But they know me better than that They know me better than that They know my weaknesses I never tried to hide them They know my weaknesses I never denied them I heard it from my friends About the things you said I heard it from my friends About the things you said How can a view become so twisted How can a view become so twisted They know my weaknesses I never tried to hide them They know my weaknesses You tried them I get so carried away But you brought me down to earth I thought we had something precious Now I know what it's worth I heard it from my friends About the things you said I heard it from my friends About the things you said I've never felt so disappointed Never felt so disappointed They know my weaknesses I never tried to hide them They know my weaknesses Thought that you liked them I get so carried away You brought me down to earth I thought we had something precious Now I know what it's worth Sacred, Holy Sacred, Holy I get so carried away But you brought me down to earth I thought we had something precious Now I know what it's worth

I must have left my house at eight because I always do My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due I must have read the morning paper going into town And having gotten through The Editorial, no doubt I must have frowned I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine With letters to be read and heaps of papers waiting to be signed I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so The usual place, the usual bunch And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained The day before you came I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two And at the time I never even noticed I was blue I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school The train back home again Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame The day before you came Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go I'm sure, I had my dinner watching something on TV There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten I need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in bed by then I must have read a while The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style It's funny but I had no sense of living without aim The day before you came And turning out the light I must have yawned And curled up for yet another night And rattling on the roof, I must have heard the sound of rain The day before you came
