Running From Paradise
Words: d. hall, s. allen
Music : d. hall
I caught you staring at the ceiling
Captured by the mirror up there
Ok ok I see the separation
Makin love down here
While youre watching in the air
If youre looking for love
And you dont find it in my eyes
Then youre running from paradise.
Look before you leap, darling
Dont you know that youre
Running from paradise
I gave you every pose you asked for
Played every game you fantasize
I called your bluff, were running out of breath
Youre hooked on looking -- not on what you find
Papapaparadise

Paradise
(n. rodgers/g. smith)
Paradise is what youre looking for
Paradise is what youre looking for
Are you looking for some place you can be free
Are you looking, looking for someone you want to be
You ran away from home girl - searching for your shangri-la
Wherever you may roam girl in my mind you wont be far
Paradise is what youre looking for
Paradise is what youre looking for
Youre a prisoner inside a gilded cage
You keep praying sayin there must be a better way
Youve got the best intentions of this I dont have any doubts
I cant help but to mention dont you know what lifes about
Paradise is what youre looking for
Paradise is what youre looking for
Paradise is what youre looking for
Paradise is what youre looking for
Paradise is what youre looking for
Paradise is what youre looking for

If Youre Not Gonna Love Me Right
(m.seward)
Hey, oh
Hey yeah
Hey baby, hey baby
The phone is ringing
And Im running late
Ive no time to get it
coz Im expecting you at eight
Heard your voice on the message
Im surprised you called
Said youre all tied up
And you aint comin at all
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
If youre not gonna love me right, oh
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
At all
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
At all
Another box of roses outside on my porch
Twelve long excuses none of them stop the hurt
Wheres this going, do you really care?
Is this real love, I dont know anymore I swear
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Baby dont make me crazy
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
If youre not gonna love me right, yeah
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Oh baby
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
I really want you, oh baby
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
If youre not gonna love me right
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Baby just make me crazy
Baby, I want you here
If youre not here it makes me feel like
I cant trust you
You make me crazy if you really love me
You see
Oh, I get confused when you hold me next to you
I wanna go further, oh baby yes I do
I just cant hold on to something that wont last
So wed better slow down, and maybe not go so fast
Maybe not go so fast
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy
(if youre not gonna love me right)
If youre not gonna love me
Baby dont love me, baby dont love me, baby dont love me
If youre not gonna love me right
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby, dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby, dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy

When You Find Out Where Youre Goin Let Me Know
When you find out where youre goin
Let me know
Cause I love you just enough
To let you go
While youre running free and clear
Please dont disappear
When you find out where youre goin
Let me know
When you find out where youre goin
Count me in
And Ill never put you down
For where you been
And Ill join you when you find
That peace within your mind
When you find out where youre goin
Let me know
Im letting go for one night
And I know well be all right
Though he may never come back
When he leaves my bed tonight
When you find out where youre goin
Let me know
And I promise I wont say I told you so
And when the time comes that you say
You finally found your way
Then no matter where you are
Be sure I know
Then no matter where you are
Be sure I know

Over The Top
Music :matthias jabs
Lyrics:matthias jabs
Down in the city
Where the girls look pretty
Some just like a miracle
Theyre so attractive
So hyperactive
But theyre cool and they talk cynical
Give me a chance
I dont want romance
Dont be so serious (oh nooo)
Lets get some action
Some real satisfaction
Youre so mysteroius
I cant wait any longer
Tonights the night
I want you to show me baby
Tonights the night
Now is the time, the time to go over the top
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around (over the top)
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around
Move around, around, around
Down in the city
Where the girls are pretty
Some just like a miracle
Oooh, Im on the road
Get out of control
Im losing my mind
Its time to get wild
Tonights the night
I want you to show me baby
Tonights the night
Now is the time, the time to go over the top
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around (over the top)
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around (over the top)
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around (over the top)
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around
Move around, around, around
Tonights the night
I want you to show me baby
Tonights the night
Now is the time, the time to go over the top
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around (over the top)
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around (over the top)
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around (over the top)
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around
Move around, around, around.

Youre Gonna Get Whats Coming
(robert palmer)
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in awhile I get taken like that
And I like it
Ive got a thunderbird parked right outside
Give me a minute to finish this thing
And well light it.
In all this heat its a job keeping cool
Oh yeah
And I could fry an egg on you
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in awhile I get taken like that
And I like it
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
I hope that youre half as intrepid
As you make out
More often than not, Ill bet
You never got what you asked for
Keep on pouring until you hear me shout
And turn up the sound
If you want me to drive any faster
Caution went out when you walked in the room
If it never came back it would be too soon
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in awhile I get taken like that
And I like it
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming

Selfish
Ashes to ashes
Thats how it ends
(you go from) heartache to heartache
As you make amends
(just) bigger and bigger
But two steps back
You want something from nothing
And youre so exact
You think youre a rich man
Now you misbehave
Youre not a free man running
Just a comfortable slave
So selfish
You got more than you can use
But you still dont see
Youre so selfish
And youre running out of room
Deeper and deeper
As you forge ahead
Higher and higher
But youve been mislead
Harder and harder
You grind the stone
Faster faster faster
Till youre skin and bones
Too much ambition
Without relief
That aint heaven
But its what you teach
So selfish
You got more than you can use
But you still dont see
Youre so selfish
And youre running out of room
The world was made in seven days
Your heads are bowed to gods in praise
Civilized man can only be saved
When courage and wisdom are finally raised
Whos got the answer
Give me the cure
Dont rush to judgement
Until youre sure
So selfish
You got more than you can use
But you still dont see
Youre so selfish
And youre running out of room

Running Back To You
Boy, youve been running around to long
Now I think youre running out of time
No more jumping in and out of my bed
Its time for me to draw the line
So you think you can call me the only one, then walk out the door
And you think you can run arround having fun,
And just come back for more
Chorus:
I think youre living in a fantasy
Its got to be them or me
So if you try it onr more time
Baby dont expect me to come running back to you
Running back to you
Then youll think about love, all the good I gave to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
And Ill find someone, somebody else to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I wont come running back
I wont come running
Oh oh, oh oh
I wont come running back
I wont come running
Boy, hope you see before to late
I wont play the fool-no not this time
And Ill show you just how wrong you are
To think I just cant get you out of my mind
So you think you can just play me off, then walk out the door
And you think that you can just run arround and come back for more
Chorus
You cant dis me when you wanna
Or come and go when you wanna
I hear youre playing around when you wanna
Any time that you wanna
Or just tell me lies when you wanna
I got more than you want oh
Oh, and by the way
Oh, oh I wont come running back, I wont come running
Oh, oh I wont come running back, I wont come running
Running back to you
Then youll think about love, all the good I gave to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
And Ill find someone, somebody to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I wont come running back

The Cause Of It All
(orbison)
Roy orbison (sun, 1956)
I stand alone in my room, too blue to even cry
So doggone tired of livin, I could lay right down and die
Youre the cause of it all
Youre my down fall
Dont blame me for what I do
Baby, youre the cause of it all
Well you promised me your love, a love that would be true
You didnt keep your promise and I dont care what I do
Youre the cause of it all
Youre my down fall
Dont blame me for what I do
Baby, youre the cause of it all
Well I file my fingernails, staring at the wall
Dont wanna see my friends or anyone that comes to call
Youre the cause of it all
Well, youre my down fall
Dont blame me for what I do
Baby, youre the cause of it all
Well the low down dirty blues are closing in on me
My soul is wetted down with so much misery
Youre the cause of it all
Youre my down fall
Dont blame me for what I do
Baby, youre the cause of it all

Youre My Flavor
The way you love me
Is like a needle in my vein
When youre not around me
You know it just dont feel the same
And Ive waited a long time
Just to feel the way I do
Just give me the reason
And I will be all over you
cause youre my flavor of love
Youre my flavor Im dreaming of
Youre my flavor of love
Youre my flavor Im dreaming of
The way you touch me
Somehow it takes away the pain
And now Im a junkie
Im running around without a brain
I got the jones deep inside me
And you are what I wanna do
You give me this feeling
You always make me feel brand new
cause youre my flavor of love
Youre my flavor Im dreaming of
Youre my flavor of love
Youre my flavor Im dreaming of
Flavor... ouh come on

Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness
You come home late and you come home early
You come on big when youre feeling small
You come home straight and you come home curly
Sometimes you dont come home at all
Chorus:
So what in the worlds come over you
And what in heavens name have you done
Youve broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
Youre out there running just to be on the run
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love thatll last forever
Get left so far behind
Repeat chorus:
Its a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
Its crossed the evil line today
Well, how can you ask about tomorrow
We aint got one word to say

Hard To Find
Look around, look around you answers
(Someone tell me)
Where can I, where can I find faith again
(Can you help me?)
Im running aimless just to
Try to and find a place to belong
I try explaining, but the words are
Always coming out wrong
Theres so much more to myself than this
And its so hard to find
And its so hard to find
I know youre out there
Closer now, close than Ive ever been
(To being too far gone)
Running out, running out of you again
(Can you fuel me?)
Im numb and painless
Just to keep me feeling nothing at all
I try in vain but nothing seems
To be working at all
And its so hard to find
It takes so long to get things right
And its so hard to find
I know youre out there
Theres so much more to myself than this
I know theres more to myself than this
And its so hard to find
And its so hard to find
So hard to find
It takes so long to get things right
And its so hard to find
I know youre out there
I know youre out there
Somewhere out there

Talkin To My Heart
Written by billy burnette, deborah allen, and rafe vanhoy.
My heart is hanging on every word you say
Right now all logics stripped away
It doesnt analyze your sincerity
It only listens and believes
Dont whisper
I love you
Unless you know its true
Be careful what youre saying
Youre talkin to my heart
Oh be careful what youre saying
Youre talkin to my heart
Sometimes you want someone so bad you fantasize
Sometimes the heat of passion lies
Its only human to give in to what you feel
That doesnt always mean its real
Dont mislead
Dont misread
The magic of the night
Be careful what youre saying
Youre talkin to my heart
Oh be careful what youre saying
Youre talkin to my heart
Think about it
Sometimes its wise to wait
Think about it
Once spoken its too late
Dont whisper
I love you
Unless you know its true
Be careful what youre saying
Youre talkin to my heart
Oh be careful what youre saying
Youre talkin to my heart

S. O. S.
(s. andersson / b. ulvaeus / b. andersson)
Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find.
I tried to reach for you, but you had closed your mind.
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood.
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good.
So when youre near me, darling cant you hear me?
S.o.s.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me,
S.o.s.
When youre gone,
How can I even try to go on?
When youre gone,
Though I try how can I carry on?
You seem so far away, though you are standing near.
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear.
I really tried to make it out,
I wish I understood.
What happened to our love, it used to be so good?
So when youre near me, darling cant you hear me?
S.o.s.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me,
S.o.s.
When youre gone,
How can I even try to go on?
When youre gone, (when youre gone)
Though I try how can I carry on?
So when youre near me, darling cant you hear me?
S.o.s.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me,
S.o.s.
When youre gone,
How can I even try to go on?
When youre gone, (when youre gone)
Though I try how can I carry on?

You Dont Have To Say Youre Sorry
You dont have to say youre sorry
We all make mistakes, Ive made my share, oh
You dont have to say youre sorry
I dont need those words to know you care
Explanations arent required even though you think you should
I dont need to know the reasons, no, not even if theyre good
You dont have to say youre sorry, but I sure do wish you would
You dont have to say youre sorry
And thats a silly game that children play, oh
You dont have to say youre sorry, no
No, you shouldnt have to live that way
You dont have to say youre sorry
Cause were both too old its true
Well they say when you love someone, forgiveness is the rule
You dont have to say youre sorry, but I sure do wish you would

All I Need
Some men need riches and lots of money to spend
Some men need power to hold over other men
But not me baby, girl you can believe
Im telling you my darling
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
In this world, girl
Some men need fine clothes, big diamond rings
To feel like somebody some men need expensive things
But I feel like somebody, girl, every time you look at me
I dont need nothing to remind me that
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
In this world, girl
Some men need a fine home on a far hillside
Some men need a big car to show off as they ride
Some men need a pretty woman just to walk by their side
And some men need to see the fear in another mans eyes
But all I need baby, is all I can see
When you wrap your loving arms around me
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need

Running Out Of Love
Some days youre gonna put me on hold
Some days youre gonna put me
On a pedestal up high
I dont know if its me
I dont know if its you
I dont know if its both of us
Not knowing what to do
When were running out of love
Not knowing what to do
When were running out of love
And when it comes to taking my calls
Theres something more between us
Than a telephone line
I cant believe its me
I cant believe its you
I cant believe its both of us
Not knowing what to do
When were running out of love
Not knowing what to do
When were running out of love
Cant think of how we lost our way
Some days I feel
Im getting very close to you
Cant think of how the story ends
Cant hear the words
I really want to hear from you
Were running out of love
Cant believe were running out of love
Cant believe were running out of love
Some people like to put you on hold
Some people like to put you
On a pedestal up high
I dont know if its me
I dont know if its you
I dont know if its both of us
Not knowing what to do
When were running out of love
Not knowing what to do
When were running out of love

Well, who do you think youre foolin?
You say youre havin fun,
But youre busy going nowhere,
Just lying in the sun.
You tried to be a hero,
Commit the perfect crime
But the dollar got you dancing
And youre running out of time.
Youre messin up the water
Youre rolling in the wine
Youre poisoning your body
Youre poisoning your mind
You gave me coca-cola
You said it tasted good
You watch the television

Stop Where You Are

Stop where you are
Dont move an inch
Dont come any closer now baby
Youll be in a pinch
Dont start what you cant finish
I warn you whats in store
If its love youre looking to get
Youre gonna get what youre looking for
Stop where you are
Youd better freeze
Dont pull the fire now baby
Dont be a tease
Dont start what you cant finish
I told you once before
If its love youre looking to get
Youre gonna get what youre looking for
Dont you know, youre walking on dangerous ground
Listen babe when I make love
I just dont fool around, no I dont
I just dont play around
Stop where you are
Just take it slow
Once I put my hands on you baby
I wont let you go
Dont start what you cant finish
One kiss and I want more
If its love youre looking to get
Youre gonna get what youre looking for
Stop where you are
Dont move an inch
Stop where you are
Youre gonna be in a pinch
Stop where you are
Youre gonna get what youre looking for
