Perfect Crime
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
You were sweetness and light
I never fought off your kisses
You were the only one in my life
I belived you boy
You took over my mind
And I gave you my everything
You were giving me something
And I thought it was love
You lied, I cried, you stole my heart
Chorus:
I didnt know when you looked into my eyes
I was a victim of the perfect crime
You said you loved me but you were telling lies
You know youre guilty of the perfect crime
You hurt me boy you hurt me so bad
Now Im over the fight
Of trying to forget you
You were bad to baby
Youre a criminal
Chorus and fade

Poison
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
Spoken:
Dont worry about me, baby
Whenever you walk by me, I can here you breath
I can smell the love you made when you were gone
Darlin dont deny it, or make excuses
Ive heard too many lies, to know that Im not wrong
Baby dont insult me
Im too tired to let it hurt me
Baby just believe me
And give me back my key, and set me free
Chorus:
Keep youre body to yourself, or give it to somebody else
Youre poison
Cant you you see Im far to tough to let it hurt
Ive had enough of your poison
Dont lay your hands upon me
Just crawl back where you came from
I shutter at the thought of you touching me
Youve stained the love I gave you
Baby, not for long
So much I could have given you
But now youll never know
Baby dont insult me
Im too tired to let it hurt me
Baby just believe me
And give me back my key, and set me free
Chorus
Got bad habits on your mind, youre underhanded
Im not blind to your poison
Spoken:
Dont make me laugh, youve told so many lies
And of all the lies you told me, baby, youre the biggest
You think youve hurt me
Im far too strong to let it get to me
Cant you see that Im not crying anymore
So just get off my back, and leave me alone

The Way You Want It
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
Peepin through your window
You spy me walkin to your door
Maybe you are havin second thoughts
Like you did before, boy
Theres no hesitation on my part
I want all I can get
Boy youre playing with a naked flame
And theres not much you can do about it
Chorus:
Do it just the way you want it
Do it just the way you feel
Do it like you always like to do
Do it like you always wanted to
Baby, dont be foolish
Its what youve wanted all along
And dont you try to fight it
Because the force is far too strong
Chorus x 2
Spoken:
Baby, cant you see whats missin
At this moment I would love to know
Whats going on inside your mind
Actions speak a lot louder than words
Dont worry, what youre doin isnt a crime

Crime Pays
Music: hall
Lyrics: hall/oates/s. allen
I know you know all the pros and cons
They help you get to everything you want
Greasing policemen bending all the rules
Make them an offer that they cant refuse
One crime baby I cant forgive
The kind that hurts where I live
Im a nice guy I try to wait and see
If youll get caught or go free
You stole my heart and left me blue
It look like crime pays for you
You do it and you get away
It seem like crime pays
Crime pays
Beat the heat but you couldnt pay me off
Youre staying cool no matter what it costs
You get caught youll never do the time
I have to say youve got a way with one crime baby I cant forgive
The kind that hurts where I live
Its all too clear but I still dont see
Why all the guilty go free
You stole my heart and left me blue
It look like crime pays for you
You do it and you get away
It seems like crime pays
Crime pays
It seems like crime pays
Crime pays
Catch a thief and let her go
You wont get back the love she stole
Shake her down but she dont mind
cause she commit the perfect crime ok, ok
You know I know youre a pro and con artiste
Oh baby youre a false alarm
Why do I try to play it by the rules
I was the victim but Im not a fool
You stole my heart and left me blue
It looks like crime pays for you
You do it and you get away
It seems like crime pays

Then you walked right out, you were as cold as ice
How could you be mean, to treat me so unkind
Now Im on my own, in a cold and lonely life
Chorus:
Wake up baby
Cant you see Im half insane
Wake up baby

You know youre crazy to throw it all away

Then youll see this girl will always love you right
She will always try to give you what you need
So askin you, Im beggin and Im pleadin with you

Cant you see youre just killin me

Chorus:
There was i
Taking every step for you
There was i
Taking every breath for you
And all the time you were with her
I loved you

Never wanting for myself
Adored you
For what I dont know
Cos you were loving someone else
And now youre spitting in my face
Telling me that someone else
Has taken my place

Oh how important you were to me
Eternal
Thats what I thought our love would be
But now youre spitting in my face
Telling me that someone else
Has taken my place

Love In The First Degree
Words and music by jim hurt and tim dubois
I once thopught of love as a prison a place I didnt want to be.
So long ago I made a decision to be footloose and fancy free.
But you cam I was so tempted to gamble on love just one time.
I never thought I would get caught.
It seemed liek the perfect crime.
Chorus:
Baby, you left me defneseless.
Ive only got one plea.
Lock me away inside of your love and throw away the key.
Im guilty of love in the first degree.
I thought it would be so simple, like a thousand times before.
Id take what I wanted and just walk away, but I never made it to the door.
Now babe, Im not beggin for mercy.
Go ahead and throw the book at me.
If lovin yous a crime, I know that Im as guilty as a man can be.
Chorus
Oh yeah. oh yeah.
Chorus
Oh yeah. love in the first degree.
Love in the first degree.
Love in the first degree.

Im Waiting For The Day
I came along when he broke your heart
Thats when you needed someone
To help forget about him
I gave you love with a brand new start
Thats what you needed the most
To set your broken heart free
I know you cried, and you felt blue
But when I could I gave strength to you
Im waiting for the day when you can love again
I kissed your lips
And when your face looked sad
It made me think about him
And that you still loved him so
But you know that pretty soon
I made you feel glad
That you belonged to me
And love began to show
He hurt you then, but thats all gone
I guess Im saying youre the only one
Im waiting for the day when you can love again
He hurt you then, but thats all done
I guess Im saying youre the only one
Im waiting for the day when you can love again
You didnt think that I could sit around and let him work
You didnt think that I could sit around and let (watch) him take you
You didnt think that I could sit around and let him go
You didnt think that I could sit back and let you go
You didnt think...

A Little More Love
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
Measure for measure
Your loves so much pleasure
Like a haunting melody
It came inside and captured me
And Im so happy
Youre the rhythm of my life
You and I together will stand the test of time
(you know how to love me)
Give me more love, give me more time
I cant understand it
Maybe youve found someone new
Tell me what did I do wrong
What did I do
Looking into your eyes now
I dont see the love we had
I dont see compassion
I dont see anything
(chorus)
Give me just a little more love
Some more to tide me over
Give me just a little more passion
Give me just a little more love
And a little more time
I dont see the reason
Why you should be so unfair
But I have seen it coming
Seen it hanging in the air
Baby when you hold me
You dont touch me like you did
But still I want you by my side
Baby Ill do anything
(chorus)
I can see youre slipping away from me
But I still feel the magic sometimes
When we touch
You and me, it has to be
cos baby without you I dont think that I can carry on

Whenever Youre Gone
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
I cant go any further now, only if you come with me
Only if you can take my hand and hold me in your arms
If you come and look into my eyes, iii see it all more clearly
All of the tears youve seen my cry
Youll take them all away
If you come and open up my eyes and hold me
Take me away and ease my mind
Just come and hold me tight
Chorus:
Whenever youre gone its lonely
Whenever youre gone I cant face the light of day
Its too many times Ive been on my own
With a burning in my heart
Whenever youre gone
Look at the face you see before you, cant you be open to me
Cant you believe what we have, dont throw it away
Believe in me now dont criticize, its only the beginning
Cant you believe these desperate eyes, believe in what we say
If you came and open up me eyes and hold me
Then I can open up my mind, and I will hold you tight

I miss you so, and friends dont understand when I dont want to speak
When youre gone I feel so alone
And I cant sleep for crying, and deep inside I feel like dying

What Did I Do To You?
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
Its the way you walk, and the way you talk
Now youre nothing near the way that you were
And theres something strange when you hold my hand
Tell my why you changed the way that we were
Tell my why you changed the way that we were
Could we be the same, could we try again
Chorus:
What did I do to you, baby?
What did I do to you, baby?
What did I do to you, what did I do to you?
What did I do to you, baby?
You never touch my skin, in the way you did
And you even changed the way you kiss me
When lovers part theres a change of heart
But my heart cant change the way that we were
Oh no, my heart cant change the way that we were
Could we be the same, could we try again
Chorus
Togetherness is when I undress
Never when we talk, never tenderness
And I cant forget all the joy we had
But I know well be the way we were
Yes, I know well be the way we were
Could we be the same, could we try again

Betcha Never
I saw you with that girl last night
The both of you were making eyes
You did it right in front of my face
As if I had no pride
And now youre always working late
You never have much time for me
And youre expecting me to believe
That oure not out with she ...please!
Tonight I give you my surprise
I hope that you wont mind
Im giving you an eye for an eye
Baby Ive found another
And he is my lover
And Im going out for the rest of your life
Chorus:
I betcha never thought Id go that far
I betch never thought Id break your heart
I betcha never even thought at all
I betcha never, no you never
I know that everybody lies, that I know I cant deny
But what if theyre intentional, the intention of your crime
Cause I know how much I can take, I know my heart demands a change
If I cant have my way, then all I have to say
Tonight, I give you my surprise
In return for all the lies
Im giving you an eye for an eye
Baby Ive found another
And he is my lover
And were going out for the rest of your life

Perfect Love
Theres a light that shines on
Everyone tonight
But it seems were just too blind to see
Theres a love thats so deep
We should never want
But do we really know what we need?
I never thought there would be
Someone whod mean so much to me
In my mind there was no
Such thing as perfect love
But now Im holding you tonight
And I can see that you were right
To believe there can be perfect love
You can live your whole life trying to avoid
Being hurt, like youve been hurt before
Then oneday you may wake up
And feel a love so strong
That you cant hold it back anymore
I never thought that there could be
Someone whod mean so much to me
In my mind there was no
Such thing as perfect love
But now Im holding you so tonight
And I can see that you were right
To believe there could be perfect love
Ever since you called my name
Nothings ever been the same
I want to give my heart to you
And your perfect love so true
Oh your perfect love
But now youre here with me tonight
And I can see that you were right
To believe there can be perfect love

Tenderly

Words have been spoken my heart has been broken
But maybe not this time
Not with you and me
Levels understanding has always been nowhere to be seen
But maybe not this time
Dont hurt my heart
Dont try too hard to be big and strong
Just sweetly release me
Chorus:
No rough hands can satisfy me
Baby I bruise easily
So feel it from the heart
And when you love me
Love me tenderly
Fell it from the heart
And when you love me
Love me tenderly
Loving has hurt me
Deceived and spurned me
But maybe not this time
cos that was in the past
How Ive been scared
To put my trust in something good that may not last
But baby not this time
I know you wont hurt my heart
You wont try too hard to be big and strong
Just sweetly make love to me
