Best Kept Secret Lyrics

Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)
I've been away from you for far too long
Too much chances make my heart go frantic
I wanna tell you what's been goin' on, operator give me Trans Atlantic
I sit alone as the night goes by
Stare at the phone and wait for your reply

Chorus:
Long long distance love affair, I can't find you anywhere
I call you on the telefone, but you're never home
I gotta get a message to you, I wanna tell you what I'm going through

What in the world's comin' over you
How come you're acting like a total stranger
I try to reach you but I can't get through
I got this feeling that my heart's in danger
I got your letter it was perfectly clear
Havin' a ball, and wishin' you are here

chorus

(Solo)

Premonition is a funny thing, a familiar kind of pain and easy
Like knowin' when the phone is gonna ring
Too many times and it'll drive you crazy
I hear your echo in the longer hall
Call out your name, but no-one's there at all

Long long distance love affair, I can't find you anywhere
I call you on the telefone, but you're never home
(repeats out)



I Like The Fright
Scared to go to sleep, afraid of what I might dream
It's the same uncovered nightmare
Somebody's watching me, I can feel a presence, I wake up screamin' in the dark
Can't tell imagine from reality
Skeletons in the closet, won't you stop haunting me

Chorus:
The things that go wrong in the middle of the night
Ghouls are knockin', I'm gettin' to like it, I like the fright
Things that go wrong, it's the fear of the unknown
It's a twilight zone (I like the fright)

Shivers down my spine, I hide under my pillow
I feel the room is getting colder
I'm terrified to close my eyes, afraid to move a muscle
I believe I can take it no more
Tryin' to hold on to my sanity, should I let this happen, supernaturally

chorus

(Solo)

The things that go wrong, I turn up all the lights
I'm scared of dreamin', I'm gettin' to like it, I like the fright
The things that go wrong, it's the fear of the unknown
It's a twilight zone, I like the fright

chorus

Things that go wrong, ghouls are knockin'
Things that go wrong, it's a twilight zone...



Almost Over You
I saw an old friend of ours today
She asked about you, I didn't quite know what to say
Heard you've been making your rounds 'round here
While I've been trying to make tears disappear

Chorus:
Now I'm almost over you, I've almost shook these blues
So when you come back around after painting the town
You'll see I'm almost over you

You're such a sly one with your cold, cold heart
Maybe leavin' came easy, but it tore me apart
Time heals all wounds they say and I should know
'Cause it seems like forever, but I'm lettin' you go

chorus

I can forgive you and soon I'll forget all my shattered dreams
Although you left me with nothing to show, full of misery

chorus

When you come back around after painting the town
You'll see I'm almost over you



Devil In A Fast Car
I used to think that I was made of stone, I only wanted to be on my own
It gets so lonely when you're all alone and you just can't take anymore

Look at the passion in my eyes tonight
Comin' at you through the clear moonlight
I want a lover who can hold on tight 'til I just can't take anymore

Chorus:
Give me no heavenly knight, make him a devil in a fast car
Send me no angel in white, I want it just the way that you are

Other eyes are watching everywhere
Tryin' hard to catch us but I just don't care
I gotta touch you just to prove you're there, not some dream I had before

Here comes that feeling that I can't understand
Can't put it in the back, can't hold it in my hand
Gave all the love time on those one-night-stands
Just to see what lies in the store

chorus repeats 2x

Flyin' east to the risin' sun, for ninety minutes I'll be under the gun
I'll dream about you while I'm on the run 'til I just can't dream anymore

chorus repeats out



Don't Leave Me This Way
The door is closed again, it's closed on me
Here I am alone again, there's not a soul to see
I'm on my own now, it didn't turn out right
My bed is cold as ice, and you're out there in the night

Oooh, can't get you off my mind
Oooh, you know my heart is on the line and it happens every time

Chorus:
Don't leave me this way, baby, don't leave me this way, oh no
I need you more than I could ever say, do you have to stay away so long

I thought we had it all, there was something there
But I made my first mistake when I thought you'd care

Oooh, can't get you off my mind
Oooh, you know my heart is on the line and it happens every time

chorus

(Solo)

Don't leave me this way, baby, don't leave me this way, oh no
Don't leave me this way, baby, don't leave me this way, oh no

chorus repeats out...



Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
I don't wanna talk about it, do we have to bring it up again
Let sleeping dogs lie, bring the subject to an end
Your sights are on history, leave it alone, let it be
Water under the bridge, let it flow out to the sea

I said I was sorry, I know that I made a mistake
Won't you please, again, give me a break
Won't you get beyond it, I'll be straight
I'll be good, watch and see, don't go bringin' it back to me

I don't wanna talk about it, do you have to bring it up again
Let sleeping dogs lie, bring the subject to an end
You got a little letter to grow that thought, but you don't know what hurt you
Well the first time I'd done that you had to catch me in the act

I said I was sorry, I know I made a big mistake
Won't you please, again, won't you give me a break
Won't you get beyond it, I promise I'll be straight

Don't be so suspicious, don't go looking for a but
Damned can we clear the air and get back to us
I'll be good, watch and see, don't keep bringin' it back to me

(Solo)

I said I was sorry, I know that I made a mistake, oh
Again, I wish that you would give me a break
Can't you get beyond it, gimme a chance to be straight
Don't be so suspicious, show a little trust
Can we clear the air and get back to us
I'll be good, watch and see, don't keep bringin' it back to me

(Look, it happened, I can't pretend it didn't, I saw it with my own eyes)

Let sleeping dogs lie, let sleeping dogs lie
Let sleeping dogs lie



(She's In Love) With Her Radio
She don't need nobody with what she's got
She only gets her kicks from 50,000 watts
She keeps 'em in her bedroom, and the D.J. gets her static
For when a boyfriend picks her up, it's never automatic

Chorus:
She says no no no no no no no, she says no no no no no no no
She says no no no no no no no
She's in love, she's in love, she's in love with her radio

When her favorite song comes on, ooh it's gonna make her smile
And if you wanna go on with her, don't you dare to touch that dial

chorus

(Solo)

She says no no no no no no no, she says no no no no no no no
She says no no no no no no no, she says no no no no no no no
She says no no no no no no no no no no no no no
She's in love, she's in love, she's in love
She's in love, she's in love, she's in love, she's in love
She's in love, she's in love, she's in love with her radio



Just One Smile
Can't I cry a little bit, there's nobody to notice it
Can't I cry if I want to, no one cares
Why can't I pretend that you love me again
All I have has been taken from me
Now I'm cryin', I'm cryin' and tears will be comin'

Chorus:
Just one smile, the pain's forgiven, just one kiss, the hurt's all gone
Just one smile to make my life worth livin'
A little dream, a bit of my own home

How I wish I could say all the things that I wanna say
If someway you could see what's in my heart
I don't ask for much, a look, a smile, a touch
Tryin' to forget, Lord knows I'm tryin'
But it's hard to forget when your whole world, your whole world is dyin'

chorus

(Solo)

Why can't I pretend that you love me again
Tryin' to forget, Lord knows I'm tryin'
But it's hard to forget when your whole world, your whole world is dyin'

chorus repeats out



Sweet Talk
See that man with the diamond ring, he came sneakin' by, the standard thing
But I insist upon a dance, nothing less could stand the chance
You may not have a whole lotta money but your words are like more, I want that

Sweet talk, I love your sweet talk

So tell me one more time, you've never known a touch like mine
Don't stop once you've started, don't leave me hungry hearted
I need you 'till you find me, how you find me

Sweet talk, I love your sweet, sweet talk

Tender wind is swallowin' my brain, promises of love in static pain
Turn me on most demolitious, your sweet talk is so delicious

You know that I need comfort, just a little nervous
I hugged too long, that'll tell us
Your way with words is so delightful, I can hardly wait, I can't love an echo
I will always lend an ear to hear your

Sweet, sweet talk, give me your sweet sweet talk

(Solo)

So tell me one more time, you've never known a touch like mine
Don't stop once you've started, don't leave me hungry hearted
I need you 'till you find me, how you find me

Sweet talk, tell me your sweet talk
I love your sweet talk, give me your sweet talk
I want your sweet talk, sweet talk
I love your sweet talk, ooh sweet talk
I want your sweet talk...



Best Kept Man
He never spends a night alone, and what he spends is never his own
He suits our own self, they're exclusively
But that doesn't mean they come off easily

He's a girl's best kept secret, girl's best kept secret
He's the world's best kept man, he's got a secret worth knowin'

Oh he's playin' make believe, he comes anytime you need
He does so fine, and this goes on, he's a real wild man, you can't get off

He's a girl's best kept secret, girl's best kept secret
He's the world's best kept man
He's got a secret worth knowin', he's got a secret worth showin'

(Solo)

He's got a secret, he's got a secret
He's got a secret, he's got a secret worth knowin'

He's a girl's best kept secret, a girl's best kept secret
He's a girl's best kept secret, a girl's best kept secret
He's a girl's best kept secret, a girl's best kept secret
He's a girl's best kept secret, a girl's best kept secret
He's the world's best kept man
