Bad English Lyrics

BEST OF WHAT I GOT
Oh yeah

If you wanna put a message to my heart, should be early in the morning
I'm gonna rise and shine or wake you up, and move you without warning
Call my name, I understand the reason for desire
The pen of gold I give to you, could be the ring of fire
Something in your kiss that lasts forever
Burning in the heat for you, I love you 'round the clock

You get the best of what I got, oh yeah

Gonna work all day to buy you pretty things, 'cos you're such a pretty girl
You can work me overtime, knock me out, got my senses in a whirl
Like a locomotive burning down the track, you're my destination
One on one, a kiss for a kiss, you're my fascination
Something in your touch that holds the promise
You got me feeling all shook up, I love you 'round the clock

You get the best of what I got, oh yeah

I put my key inside your door and it feels so good
When I come home at night, we're rockin' the neighborhood
Rockin' the neighborhood

(Instrumental break)

Something that you read about in heavens
I feel the heat for you, I wanna rock you 'round the clock

You get the best, you get the best of what I got, oh yeah
You get the best of what I got, aw
I wanna love you 'round the clock (best of what I got) oh
You get the best of what I got (best of what I got) aw, that's right
I wanna love you 'round the clock (best of what I got) aw, ooh, yeah
(Best of what I got) that's right
You get the best of what I got (best of what I got)... (to fade)



HEAVEN IS A 4 LETTER WORD
There's a rumour here, and it's goin' 'round, can you hear it on the street
If you realize that the pleasure lies between surrender and the heat
Just take a walk on the wild side, babe, then I'll meet you halfway there
And if you're talkin' 'bout paradise
No need to say a prayer, 'cos baby I'll take you there

Chorus:
Hey girl, haven't you heard, heaven is a four letter word
One touch is never enough, you'll find out when you're in the real world
Heaven is a four letter word

Lose your innocence for experience, but you've got to take the chance
Can you rock an' roll, can you get down babe, 'cos it's time for you to dance
Don't need to ride in a limousine to feel like a millionaire
And if you're talkin' 'bout fantasy
It could happen anywhere, baby I'll take you there

chorus

It's like love and kiss, and it feels like this, baby don't wait too long
It's just me and you, we know what to do, and it's a long way till dawn, yeah

(Instrumental break)

chorus repeats out



POSSESSION
I can't find myself when you go away, makes me wonder where you are
Is there someone else, I just need to know, this charade has gone too far
For the first time in my life, I feel I'm losing control
I can't keep pretending, it's my soul that you own, I need you

Chorus:
My heart's in your world tonight (possession)
And you hold the key to my life (possession)
I've got to be with you, I wanna dream with you
You're my obsession, I want possession of you, oh yeah

I can't play this game, am I in too deep, 'cos my world is where you are
You're always on my mind, the little things you say, I can feel you everywhere
The trace of your lipstick, I can taste your perfume
To know that you left me, leaves a space in this room, I need you

chorus

(Instrumental break)

I can't live without you, can't you see that you're mine, I need you

Your heart's in my world (possession), in your world, in your world

Your heart's in my world tonight (possession)
And you hold the key to my life (possession)
I want possession of you, every night (possession)
I want possession of you, for all my life (possession)
I want to walk with you (possession)
I wanna dream (possession)... (to fade)



FORGET ME NOT
You leave the light on at your door
You cross your heart and cross the bedroom floor
And thru the window to your world
You can feel me there, and you know I'm waiting
You taste the words of my forbidden kiss
Our eyes connect and we both know what this is

Chorus:
I will be your keeper, you possess the key
Forget me not, forget me not, 'cos you belong to me
I will be your shadow, when you walk away
Forget me not, forget me not, I will follow you until your dying day

A thousand lifetimes long ago, we made a promise, we would not let go
And so I come for you tonight, and we live again, before we lose each other
I climb the stairway to the open sky
You are my universe, I won't be denied, no

chorus

(Instrumental break)

When I touch you, you'll be touched by love

I climb the stairway to your world
You can feel me there, and you know I'm waiting

chorus

(Forget me not, forget me not) 'Cos baby you belong to me, always
(Forget me not, forget me not) You're everything I see
And baby you belong to me (forget me not, forget me not) you're mine
Oh no no no no no (forget me not, forget me not)
Baby baby baby baby, you belong to me (forget me not, forget me not)
'Cos baby you belong to me (forget me not, forget me not) oh yeah

(Forget me not, forget me not) (repeats out)



WHEN I SEE YOU SMILE
Sometimes I wonder how I'd ever make it through
Through this world without having you, I just wouldn't have a clue
'Cos sometimes it seems like this world's closing in on me
And there's no way of breaking free, and then I see you reach for me

Sometimes I wanna give up, I wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you baby, and everything's alright, everything's alright

When I see you smile, I can face the world, oh oh, you know I can do anything
When I see you smile, I see a ray of light, oh oh
I see it shining right thru the rain
When I see you smile, baby when I see you smile at me

Baby there's nothing in this world that could ever do
What a touch of your hand can do, it's like nothing that I ever knew

And when the rain is falling, I don't feel it, 'cos you're here with me now
And one look at you baby, is all I'll ever need, it's all I'll ever need

When I see you smile, I can face the world, oh oh, you know I can do anything
When I see you smile, I see a ray of light, oh oh
I see it shining right thru the rain
When I see you smile, baby, baby when I see you smile at me

Sometimes I wanna give up, I wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight
Then one look at you baby, and everything's alright, everything's alright
So right

(Instrumental break)

When I see you smile, I can face the world, oh oh, you know I can do anything
When I see you smile, I see a ray of light, oh oh
I see it shining right thru the rain, yeah
When I see you smile, I can face the world, oh oh, you know I can do anything
When I see you smile, oh yeah, baby when I see you smile, smile at me



TOUGH TIMES DON'T LAST
From a desperate place, how do I reach you
You know I scare myself, these crazy nights without you
And I feel your pain, when I see you cry
We could turn around now, you're my reason to try

We've all seen some trouble, but we've always come thru
You know things could get better, hey babe, believe me

Tough times don't last, lovers do, baby, don't get hurt on me and you
'Cos trouble's just a storm that's gonna pass, tough times don't last

We can work so hard, till we feel the strain
We can get so close, it's the distance we can't explain
Still I reach for you in the pourin' rain
Like a change in the weather, here comes the sun
Things can only get better, hey babe, believe me

Tough times don't last, lovers do, baby, don't get hurt on me and you
'Cos trouble's like a storm that's gonna pass, tough times don't last

(Instrumental break)

You say now that your heart is breakin' from the wild times that you've lived
Better make sure that the risks that you're takin'
Hey babe, can only get better

Tough times don't last, lovers do, baby, don't get hurt on me and you
'Cos trouble's like a storm that's gonna pass, tough times don't

Tough times don't last, lovers do, me and you, believe me baby, oh yeah
Tough times don't last, baby now, oh yeah... (to fade)



GHOST IN YOUR HEART
A little white picketfence around your heart
It's everything you wanted, now it's tearing you apart
You're gonna raise a family now, but you don't know where to start
I remember you

Me, I pack a suitcase, and move from town to town
A little east of Eden, too late to turn around
Now you're not so wise, you dance out of control, I remember you

Chorus:
Are you cryin' in your sleep tonight
When you're lying with him, do you turn out the light
Are you hiding in your dreams tonight
In your world I will be the ghost in your heart, the ghost in your heart

When you said you couldn't take it and you had to settle down
That I was the wild one, with both feet off the ground
I could never understand you, but I loved you anyhow, I remember now

chorus

(Instrumental break)

Something in your first kiss, that's written in the sand
We held it for a moment, but it slipped right through our hands
I stare at your reflection, and sometimes see my face
I remember you, you remember too

chorus repeats 2x...

In your heart, in your heart, ghost in your



PRICE OF LOVE
Girl, sometimes it seems to me
That I don't say the things I should, to you, I act like I'm no good
You wait for me patiently
This house is not a home without you, it takes two hearts to share

Your eyes will always see through me, and bring me to my knees
And I will always turn to you, you're everything I need

And thru the good and bad times, you have always been there
We hold each other close, you tell me it's alright
The nights we fight about it, never dream of givin' up
That's the price of love

Look, sometimes it makes us cry
Forgive me when I get it wrong, sometimes it's hard to be that strong
And oh, I would do anything
For you I'd turn the stars around, I'd find a way somehow

This time, you see I built a bridge to you again
Love shines, we'll sweep away the past
We're more than lovers, more than friends

And thru the good and bad times, you have always been there
We hold each other tight, you tell me it's alright
The nights we fight about it, never think of givin' up
That's the price of love

(Instrumental break)

Your eyes will always see through me, and bring me to my knees
And I will always turn to you, you're everything I need

And thru the good and bad times, you have always been there
We hold each other close, you tell me it's alright
And sometimes I can't give enough, that's the price of love

That's the price of love, that's the price of love
That's the price of love... (to fade)



READY WHEN YOU ARE
Had a dream you were with me last night
I was your prisoner in a castle, hands tied
Was it pain, was it pleasure, you couldn't decide, no
A mistress that can call my name, I wanna know, yeah

'Cos baby I'm ready, ready when you are
Ready in a heartbeat, a slave for love tonight (ready when you are)
I'm ready when you are, that's right

Did you dream you were with me last night
Was it Paris, in a hotel, a red light, ooh la la
Hear me knockin' at your door, I've come back for more, need some more

'Cos baby I'm ready, ready when you are
Ready in a heartbeat, a slave for love tonight (ready when you are)
I'm ready, baby, that's right

I'm ready for you, you're ready for me
I'm ready girl, ready as anybody can be

(Instrumental break)

Try another fantasy, you know you're mine, anytime, yeah, 'cos

'Cos I'm ready, ready when you are
Ready in a heartbeat, a slave for love
Ready when you are, ready in a heartbeat
A slave for love tonight (ready when you are), I'm ready when you are, oh yeah

Make a wish, close your eyes, wear another cheap disguise (ready when you are)
Dream baby, just dream (ready when you are)
Sweat baby, you never know what you're gonna get (ready when you are)
You never know what you're gonna get, so dream baby (ready when you are)
Sweat, sweat baby, dream babe, you never know what you're gonna get
Dream baby



LAY DOWN
I'll be there in the morning, and we'll conceive some light
I'll be just like your angel, I'll be your guiding light
Call to wake you up and connect your thoughts and make it all seem worthwhile
I'll be there just for you girl, I'm gonna make you smile

Must be love, what are we thinking of, must be love, just because, yeah

I'm gonna catch a fast train, I'll be there overnight
You can meet me at the station, and gimme a kiss that makes all right
But I'm countin' every moment, I'm walking in my sleep
Now I'm gonna stir you up real deep girl, I'll stir you up for keeps

It must be love, what are we thinking of, must be love, just because

Lay down your love for me, why don't you lay down your love
Baby lay down your love

I get a good connection, right thru your fingertips
Every time you look me in the eye, I swear I go on a trip
I've been around the world so many times, and it's such a lovely thing
I don't wanna lose this good thing that we got
You know you make my heart sing

Must be love, what are you thinking of, must be love, just because

Lay down your love to me, why don't you lay down your love, that's right
Baby lay down your love, lay down

This time, what do we want to say, in you, I wanna stand in your way

(Instrumental break)

Lay down your love for me, why don't you lay down your love
Because I need you
Lay down for me, why don't you lay down your love
This must be love, baby what you're thinkin' of
Baby, lay down your love, I'll be there in the morning
Lay down your love, lay lay lay lay lay, lay lay lay lay lay
Baby lay down your love, lay down your love
Baby lay down your love, down your love... (to fade)



THE RESTLESS ONES
On the streets of this town there is no surrender
They've got a number for every name
Buildings and shopping malls seem like a stage for pretenders

They criticize the clothes you wear
They try and make you feel like a stranger
But you do things they wouldn't dare
Who cares who's right and who's wrong, because we know where we belong

The wild heart is calling us out in the night, a primitive love in your eyes
Out on the wasteland of broken dreams go you and I, we're the restless ones
Oh yeah, the restless ones

Step outside of yourself and you'll see thru the changes
Leave your mark, let them know you care
But don't lead the rest of your lives in plastic cages
'Cos you do things they wouldn't dare
Who cares who's right and who's wrong, because we know where we belong

The wild heart is takin' us out in the night, a primitive love in your eyes
Out on the wasteland of broken dreams go you and I, we're the restless ones
Oh yeah, that's all we'll ever be
Oh yeah, you're the restless one, you're just like me

(Instrumental break)

'Cos sometimes I just walk the streets and I wonder where I'm going
I can't relate to nothing no more, but listen, you'll hear it call

The wild heart is calling us out in the night, a primitive love in your eyes
And sometimes I feel like a loaded gun
'Cos just like you, I'm the restless one, oh yeah, that's all I'll ever be
Oh, you're the restless one, and baby you're just like me
Oh yeah, you're the restless one, you're the restless one
And that's all we'll ever be



ROCKIN' HORSE
Desert highway to a memory, I said that I'd come back for you
By the jukebox at the starlight grill, kickin' out an Elvis tune
Are you waitin', little sister, killin' time and dreamin' too
You need a fraction of long distance love, I'm driving all night for you, yeah

I'm gonna be there in a big way, you can leave the radio on
Like an outlaw, like Jesse James, another hundred miles is gone
Sunrise to sundawn, I'm gonna turn you around, yeah

Baby I've been so lonely, what am I s'pposed to do
Out in the sun with passion, out of my head for you
Baby my heart's a mustang, just let it run its course
Take it up by the river, I'm gonna give you more

Ride the rockin' horse, hey, ride the rockin' horse, yeah

Got the top down, wishin' on a star, underneath the Spanish moon
Golden Earring on the radio, radar love is coming thru
She's a station on the interstate, I'm coming with a message of love
In the saddle, you can ride all night, rock your reins around my glove, yeah

Sunrise to sundawn, I'm gonna turn you around, yeah

Baby I've been so lonely, what's a man s'pposed to do
Out in the sun with passion, out of my head for you
Proof papa's got the fever, just let it run its course
Take it up by the river, I'm gonna give you more

Ride the rockin' horse, hey, ride the rockin' horse

(Instrumental break)

Baby I've been so, baby I've been so, baby I've been so lonely
(Ride the rockin' horse) Lo-lo-lo-lo-lonely, lonely, yeah
Baby I've been so, out of my head for you, whoah (ride the rockin' horse)
Baby I've been so lonely, baby baby baby (ride the rockin' horse)
Babe I've been so lonely, what am I gonna do, thank you New York

(Ride the rockin' horse) (repeats out)



DON'T WALK AWAY
Wise men thinkin' by numbers, shaken, not stirred
But I hang, I hang on your every word
These days I roll over punches, always your clown
Do you remember when we used to paint this town
Red, gold, green and blue, if you still believe in me and you

Don't walk away, I know I'll find an answer if you stay
Don't walk away, there's nothing in tomorrow that wasn't there in yesterday
Oh no no no

All the heartache, too many nights in a heartbreak hotel
Don't you give up, love is a caroussel
Put on your dancing shoes, and we can paint this town
Red, gold, green and blue, if you still believe in me and you

Don't walk away, I know I'll find the answer if you stay
Don't walk away, there's nothing in tomorrow that wasn't there in yesterday

I'm sad, that's all, this can't be the end
It's not my fault, the rain on the roof
Reach out, reach out, I'm drowning, not waving
Reach out and touch, before it's too late to save our love
Baby don't you walk away, oh no

Don't walk away, I know I'll find an answer if you stay
Don't walk away, there's nothing in tomorrow that wasn't there in yesterday

Don't walk away, don't walk away, no, just stay
Baby don't walk away (every cloud can have a silver lining), don't walk away
Baby don't walk away (if you look hard enough you'll find love is shining)
Don't walk away, no no no no no... (to fade)
