Indecent proposal
Come live with me
and be my love?
What does this mean,
how rare?
I am no chattel
for to keep,
Could I, in fact
be spared?
Come live with me,
and be my love,
two turtle doves
indeed!
How dare he ask,
how dare he try
to make a wife
of me.
He offers me his heart
and yet,
ne'er asks
if I love too.
I find him
rather sly…..
and far too plain,
to tell the truth.
I'm sure I'd have to
mend and do
and I,
a lady fair.
It seems to me
his promises
are frivolous
and snared.

Truth or Dare
Let's play a little game of truth or dare
Tell me the truth do you love me
I dare you to lie and, if you do I dare you to tell me why
They say the truth shall set you free
So tell the truth and soar like an eagle over the deep blue sea
I dare myself to succeed and reach all of my expectations Truth be told if I shall fail its because I didn't live up to my expectations
I will not blame anyone for my failure and I dare you to do the same
Be honest with yourself, tell the truth when you make a mistake
We all mess up that is part of life but tell the truth when you do I dare you

Love me if you d(c) are
Love me if you care
Love me though nobody stares
Or asks how much its fare
Love me if you dare
Love me though everybody scares
And tell you not to be bare
Love me if you care
Love me though I find it’s rare
Someone sincere to declare
Love me if you dare
Love me though there may be nightmare
And crazy like the March hare

Dare To Dream
(adrienne follese/jane bach)
You and me baby, can meet for the weekend
To solidify our plans
Well follow a jet stream to some place exotic
All in the name of romance...
cause
Were still young and in love
And we just believe
We can be strong and do anything
If we dare to dream
Well find a place on a cliff by the ocean
And pay a couple months rent
Ill sell my paintings down by the boardwalk
So well have enough money to spend...
Dare to dream, take it to the extreme
Let your heart and soul lead the way
Live, love, seize the day and
Dare to dream, dare to dream, dare to dream
Dont try to stop us, dont tell us were crazy
Youre only wasting your breath
Were bound and determined to make it all happen
Its just a matter of when
cause
Dare to dream, take it to the extreme
Let your heart and soul lead the way
Live, love, seize the day and
Dare to dream, dare to dream, dare to dream

Why Don't We Live Together (original New York Mix)
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all of the parties every night
They're not enough
You want something more ((Tell me))
I want you
I want you
(Tell)
(Tell)
I find you when I want you
And lose you late at night
The woman in me shouts out
The man in me just smiles
I may not always love you
You may not care
But if we should live together
There's something we could share
If we dare
Why don't we?
(Baby) Why don't we live together?
You won't believe in love until the day you try
(Baby) Why don't we live together? ((Baby))
With all the love we had, and all the love we hide
We'll find a home together
((Baby)) And sleep there every night
((Baby)) There's a time and place for most things
((Baby)) This time we'll get it right
((Aah)) You may not always love me
I may not care
But intuition tells me, baby
There's something we could share
If we dare
Why don't we?
(Baby) Why don't we live together?
You won't believe in love until the day you try

Truth or Dare
The truth is I loved you, I dare you to remember
The truth is you hurt me, I dare you to share my pain
The truth is I wanted you back, I dare you to say the same
The truth is you never said sorry, l dare you to try
The truth is I protected you, I dare you to not run away
The truth is you squandered trust cheaply, I dare you to lay the first new stone
The truth is I did insane things, I dare you to stop the insanity
The truth is you lied for nothing that was real, I dare you to face the truth

Dare I Love You?
Dare I love you?
Love someone as wild as the wind?
As unpredictable as the shifting sea?
Dare I love you?
Will you stay with me?
Will you hold me close and never let me go?
Or will we slowly drift apart?
Will our bridges crumble?
Will you break your promises and walk away?
Dare I love you?

Dare To Dream
(paul begaud/vanessa corish/wayne tester)
I am my own believer
In my heart the reason
I will follow the light from within
Im not afraid of weakness
Im gonna taste the sweetness
Of the power not to give in
Oh I will see it through
I believe this is my moment of truth
Dare to dream
Dare to fly
Dare to be the ever chosen one to touch the sky
Dare to reach
Dare to rise
Find the strength to set my spirit free
Dare to dream
I will go the distance
Embrace resistance
I will lay my soul on the line
When the wait is over
And the hunger has spoken
If I give my all,i will shine
Oh I will see it through
I believe, this is my moment of truth
Dare to dream
Dare to fly
Dare to be the ever chosen one to touch the sky
Dare to reach
Dare to rise
Find the strength to set my spirit free
Dare to dream,oh
And the heart will shine like the sun
A million voices together as one
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
Dare to dream
Dare to fly
Dare to be the ever chosen one to touch the sky
Dare to reach
Dare to rise
Find the strength to set my spirit free
Dare to dream
Dare to fly
Dare to be the ever chosen one to touch the sky
Dare to reach
Dare to rise
Find the strength to set my spirit free
(find the strength to set my spirit free)
Find the strength to do what I believe

Someone To Get There
Time is an open book
We share our dreams together
And we will be who we want to be wherever
Life is a mystery
The world can be your saviour
But let love be your gravity forever
I'll take you to an endless dream
No matter how it all may seem
I know we'll find a way, never say "never"!
We all need someone to get there
If you just dare
You can count on me
Someone to get there baby!
We all need someone to get there
If you just dare
You can count on me
Someone to get there baby
Love can take us anywhere!
Nothing can stop us now
We're strong when we're together
And every step brings us closer now forever
I'll take you to an endless dream
No matter how it all may seem
I know we'll find a way, never say "never"!
We all need someone to get there
If you just dare
You can count on me
Someone to get there baby!
We all need someone to get there
If you just dare
You can count on me
Someone to get there baby
Love can take us anywhere!
We all need someone to get there, we can see love can take us anywhere
We all need someone to get there, we can see love can take us anywhere
We all need someone to get there, we can see love can take us anywhere
We all need someone to get there, we can see love can take us anywhere
Whooh Whooh Whooh
Oh yeah!
We all need someone to get there
If you just dare
You can count on me
Someone to get there baby
Someone to get there!
We all need someone to get there
If you just dare
You can count on me
Someone to get there baby
Love can take us anywhere!
Someone to get there
If you just dare
You can count on me
Someone to get there baby
Someone, somewhere, somehow?!
We all need someone to get there
If you just dare
You can count on me
Someone to get there baby
Love can take us anywhere!

Dare I Remember
Dare I Remember
Dare I remember, the passionate bliss
drowning my senses each time we would kiss
Dare I remember, embraces so tender
radiant warmth and such love they did render
And dare I remember, your face all aglow
how brilliant the light of your love to bestow
Dare I remember, without time or measure
lock in my heart these moments of treasure
No I dare not, for surrender I do
these memories of love in my heart, for you

Impetuous Me
How dare I fall in love with you
When God pushed us apart
Although I felt my soul was due
Harsh words pierced my naked heart
How dare I fall in love with you
My heart did say with naiveté,
Why not rekindle our love anew
As summer Sun illumes each day
How dare I fall in love with you
Although the stars above align
As comets hail my love for you
Confirming you are mine,
How dare I fall in love with you
Because…
My heart and soul know well what’s true

I Dare Not
I'll never dare to love again,
As I have loved you dear.
The price of pain I've had to live,
Has cost me far and near.
For you are my soul, as I am yours,
And you've wrenched us far apart.
I'll never walk these paths again,
For you live within my heart.
If I should stop to think and feel,
The wound grows ever wide,
And if I could pay the price of love,
You'd still be by my side.
How can we two souls not be one?
For it's very plain to see,
That we belong together yet,
For I am you and you are me.

Live for Love, Love for Live, Love! Love! Love!
Love you in the morning!
Love you in the evening,
Love you in the noonday,
Love you all the way!
Live for love, love for live, love! Love! Love!
Winter and summer come and just go!
But true lovers come and gather, never forgo,
Love tugs the heart string!
Love ignites the soul to sing,
Live for love, love for live, love! Love! Love!
I will give you the wind of my sky today,
I will give you the waves in my ocean someday,
I will give you the beat in my heart one-day!
I will give you the wreath of flowers everyday;
Live for love, love for live, love! Love! Love!
Love gives you inspiration,
Yet love takes your ambition!
Love gives you admiration,
Yet love takes your animation!
Live for love, love for live, love! Love! Love!
Love bestows you with promised lands Sojourn,
Yet love breaks your invigoration!
Love bestows you with fairylands forlorn,
yet love shocks your vilification!
Live for love, love for live, love! Love! Love!

Tutta La Vita
(lucio dalla; translated by davitt sigerson)
Twice in a lifetime if youre really really lucky
You may discover why you were brought here
Tutta la vita you try to find your destination
You search for the truth, you try to make communication
All of your life
Tutta la vita asking where is the party?
Its not a mansion in malibu or a facelift at forty
No you wont find it there
Love is everywhere
If youll only dare to try
Its not on a map so we all have to muddle through
You cant get there in a car--not even your bmw
Twice in a lifetime youll know the answer
Once when you find love
Once when you give love to another
Yes--you will find it there
Love is everywhere
If youll only dare to fly

Looking For Love
Do i dare look for love
Are you sure its out there
where do i look where do go
Love can be a number of things
I believe love can be found in many forms
What kind of love are you searching for
The love that makes your heart skip a beat
Or the love of everything that is beautiful
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Love comes unexpectedly and leaves just as quickly
Lost love is very painful
No love is the same
Passionate love is the one we long for
The love for ones own child is forever
Love is giving love is taking
Can i find love waking down the street
I found love once but lost it where did i put it
Young love sweethearts embracing
Forbidden love do we dare some do
Is the word love used to loosely
Has the word lost all its meaning
Thank you i would love that piece of cake
Can one truly love someone forever
Yes love can be for ever
Sometime we fall in and out of love with same person
So don't look for love love will find you
Love leaves us breathless
Sometimes renders us helpless
But were would we be without love
wondering aimlessly
If Only I Have Two Hearts
if only
granting then that i have two hearts
what will i do with the other one
this one
i point to my heart
yes this one
has loved you
and still loves you more
despite the passage of so much time
it may have mellowed
and learned from the pains
of some old wounds
they healed
and learned what true love is
what will i do with this one
i point to this other heart
wanting to love
but just cannot
what will i do with this
loving but loveless heart
spare and bare
but cannot
dare
this heart shall kill me too
i may have two hearts
but i die only once
and it was only you
if i live
i live with this one heart alone
the one that bled
that healed
the one stronger still
and needs
in fact
no other

Live To Love You
The situations clear
Its fine as long as you are here
Of that Im really sure
I will live to love you more
The say you drag me down
They try to tell me your around
Just to even up a score
But I will live to love you more
And the say Ive been blind
That you deceive me every time
And soon our love will end
But I will live to love you again
So what if they cant see
You know Ill love endlessly
And this they cant ignore
I will live to love you more
I know theyre only rumors
Altough they say the truth hurts
I dont need to hear lies
And fantasize you leaving me
But when I think it all over
And over and over
I still want you around me
You know you astound me
I couldnt live without you
If theres a price to pay
Its worth it just to hear you say
All their lies ere just a bore
I will live to love you more and more
You know where my heart is
With you alone
My every thought is
I will live to love you more

I Love All Of Me
Im a shy girl, my mother calls me flatchest,
Im a heavy boy, my father calls me a fathead,
Im a small guy, my friends call me an armrest,
Im a big girl, the boys call me a waterbed.
I love all of me, I love all of me,
I love all of me, I just wanna be.
Im a yellow girl, you choose to call me slanted eyes,
Im a white boy who fights for his roots and ties,
Im a red woman who cries over her childs hunger,
Im a black man whos come to terms with his anger.
I love all of me, I love all of me,
I love all of me, I just wanna be.
Im a nomad who writes his words in sand,
Im an aborigine who wishes to save his clan,
Im all people who cry for their land,
People of the world walking hand in hand.
I love all of me,
(I love all - love me)
I love all of me,
(I love all - love me)
I love all of us,
(I love all - love me)
We just wanna be.
Live and let live, live and let live,
Live and let live, live and let live
Phew, the cross we carry is so heavy.
I wanna sit down for a second. do you mind?
Not lie down, just sit down,
Not too long, just so long.
Hey! I got an I dare, cant we just burn the crosses instead of people?
I happen to think thats healthy, and its not blasphemy.
So brush your wings, shine your rings,
And we can sing.
Are you ready?
I love all of me,
(I love all - love me)
I love all of me,
(I love all - love me)
I love all of us,
(I love all - love me)
We just wanna be.
Once more!
I love all of me,
(I love all - love me)
I love all of me,
(I love all - love me)
I love all of us,
(I love all - love me)
We just wanna be.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Love Is Rare
Love is rare
Always dare
It is like place in heaven
Though not possible even
So it is in the form of an art
Have good start
Never think to part
Love more and more
Explore and adore
Love will be yours,
The world is meant to be therefore
Say no to any one anymore
Only words of four
But can turn sour
Whole of the relation
If raised doubt or question
Live with it till demands
Like rock make your stand
Face the rough wind
But remain mild and kind
Love is not commodity
It is gift from almighty
Make best of its utility
Create of your own a separate entity

Red Ribbon
The Red Ribbon is all the go;
It's the temperance sign, you know;
It is seen wherever you go,
On men who dare do right.
CHORUS:
Dare to do right,
Dare to do right,
Let your motto ever be
Dare to do right.
It's no disgrace to wear that badge
Of red ribbon, dear youthful lad,
Your mother's heart it will make glad
To see you dare do right.
Young friend, don't fail to sign the pledge,
And don the badge of ribbon red,
And leave some ways you have led,
Always dare do right.
Friends that love you is glad to see
That you can let vile strong drink be;
Their hearts rejoice in highest glee
To see you dare do right.
Three cheers for all red ribbon men,
And also those that is their friend;
God will be with you to the end,
He's ever on the right.
