Peron: Your little body's slowly breaking down
You're losing speed you're losing strength not style
That goes on flourishing forever but your eyes your smile
Do not have the sparkle of your fantastic past
If you climb one more mountain it could be your last
Eva: I'm not that ill
Bad moments come but they go
Some days are fine
Some a little bit harder
But that doesn't mean we should give up our dream
Have you ever seen me defeated
Don't you forget what I've been through and yet
I'm still standing
You think that I can't live without your love
You'll see,
You think I can't go on another day.
You think I have nothing
Without you by my side,
You'll see
Somehow, some way
You think that I can never laugh again
You'll see,
You think that you destroyed my faith in love.
You think after all you've done
I'll never find my way back home,
You'll see
Somehow, someday
Chorus:
All by myself
I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive
I know I'll stay alive,
All on my own
I don't need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You'll see
You think that you are strong, but you are weak
You'll see,
It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat.
I have truth on my side,
You only have deceit
You'll see, somehow, someday
Chorus2:
All by myself
I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive
I know I'll stay alive,
I'll stand on my own
I won't need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You'll see
I'm not myself when you're around
I'm not myself standing in a crowd
I'm not myself and I don't know how
I'm not myself, myself right now
Chorus:
Jesus Christ will you look at me
Don't know who I'm supposed to be
Don't really know if I should give a damn
When you're around, I don't know who I am
I'm not myself when you go quiet
I'm not myself alone at night
I'm not myself, don't know who to call
I'm not myself at all
(chorus)
I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you
But in the process I forgot that I was special too
I'm not myself when you're around
I'm not myself when you go quiet
I'm not myself all alone at night
I'm not myself standing in a crowd
I'm not myself and I don't know how
I'm not myself, myself right now
Don't know what I believe
(chorus)
I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you
But in the process I forgot that I was special too
I always wished that I could find someone as talented as you
But in the process I forgot that I was just as good as you
It's your honesty
With you I have no choice
When you talk to me
I could make love to your voice
It's the things I see
When I look into your eyes
It's your honesty
Pulling me closer to you baby
You know you drive me crazy
You are one of a kind
And I want you to be mine, all mine
Pulling me closer to you
You have a special quality
You're bringing out the best in me
You have a special quality
You are
Pulling me closer to you
It's your honesty
With you I have no choice
When you talk to me
I could make love to your voice
It's the things I see
When I look into your eyes
It's your honesty
Pulling me closer to you baby
You know it just gets better
This is the way it should be
You know the truth will set you free, so free
Pulling me closer to you
You have a special quality
You're bringing out the best in me
You have a special quality
You are
Pulling me closer to you
It's your honesty
With you I have no choice
When you talk to me
I could make love to your voice
It's the things I see
When I look into your eyes
It's your honesty
Pulling me closer to you baby
Touch my little body
Embrasse-moi mon amour
Pour ce soir, pour toujours
Touch my little body
Dis-moi la vйritй
Oui je sais toujours
You have a special quality
You're bringing out the very best in me
You have a special quality
You are
Pulling me closer to you
Honesty
It's your honesty
With you I have no choice
When you talk to me
I could make love to your voice
It's the things I see
When I look into your eyes
It's you

Tick tick tock, mo is on the jock
I did her in the limo as we went around the block
Sucked the mole on her hip, licked the lipstick off her lip
She got real excited, yo she started to flip
She says 'dre baby 'dre baby oh
I said just relax, yo chill mo
We made a right turn onto central park west
One hand gripped the car, the other on her breast
Chorus:
Did you do it? ya know i did it
Did you do it? ya know i did it
Did you do it? ya know i did it
I let the seat recline and i hit it
Did you do it? i said i did it
Did you do it? i said i did it
Did you do it? i said i did it
But i backed out quick because i thought i split it
Waiting for you, just waiting
Waiting for you
Waiting for you, just waiting

Uh, ho's in the front for the 1990's
Walkin' around showing off their hinies
Wigglin' they're jigglin' they're swingin' and flingin'
9-7-0 yo ho, your phone's ringin'
You get a call from your john, you meet him at the mot'
He's chillin' in a pamper and a fur coat
Your head starts spinnin', you drunk too much gin in
Your jaw starts grinnin', and this is the beginnin'
Of a night of an average ho
It ain't all about working on the streets no more
Here's another episode of dropping off a load
Peter was on the beater, i was about to explode
I couldn't hold back [so whadja do]
I took her to my place [yo, did she sit on your face]
She was so good just like uh, campbell's soup
I won't try to front so here's the rude scoop
I dipped it and i stripped it and i ripped it like before
I had her screamin', nope no diddily, nope no more
I can't stop once i get started
But yo honey, uh, get them legs parted
Working Monday through Friday
Takes up all of my time
If I can get to the weekend
Everything will work out just fine
That's when I can go crazy
That's when I can have fun
Time to be with my baby
Time to come undone
Chorus:
Where's the party [where's the party]
I want to free my soul
Where's the party [where's the party]
I want to lose control
Where's the party [where's the party]
I want to free my soul
Where's the party [where's the party]
I want to lose control
Couldn't wait to get older
Thought I'd have so much fun
I guess I'm one of the grown-ups
Now I have to get the job done
People give me the business
I'm not living in fear
I'm just living in chaos
Gotta get away from here
(chorus)
Intermediate:
Don't want to grow old too fast
Don't want to let the system get me down
I've got to find a way to make the good times last
And if you show me how, I'm ready now
Slow down you move too fast
Gonna make the good times last
Gonna let my hair hang down
I'm ready now

Where's the party [where's the party]
Where's the party [where's the party]
Someone tell me

In my secret garden, i'm looking for the perfect flower
Waiting for my finest hour
In my secret garden, i still believe after all
I still believe and i fall
You plant the seed and i'll watch it grow
I wonder when i'll start to show
I wonder if i'll ever know
Where my place is
Where my face is
I know it's in here somewhere
I just wish i knew the color of my hair
I know the answer's hiding somewhere
In my secret garden, there's
Chorus:
A petal that isn't torn
A heart that will not harden
A place that i can be born
In my secret garden
A rose without a thorn
A lover without scorn
If i wait for the rain to kiss me and undress me
Will i look like a fool, wet and a mess
Will i still be thirsty
Will i pass the test
And if i look for the rainbow, will i see it
Or will it pass right by
'cause i'm not supposed to see
'cause the blind are never free
Even at my secret garden
There's a chance that i could harden
That's why i'll keep on looking, for
(chorus)
I still believe, i still believe
'cause after all is said and done
I'm still alive
And the boots have come and trampled on me
And i'm still alive
'cause the sun has kissed me, and caressed me
And i'm strong, and there's a chance
That i will grow, this i know
So i'm still looking for
(chorus, inserting "it's" before "in my secret garden")
Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
'Cause it's OK to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
'Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
But secretly you'd love to know what it's like
Wouldn't you
What it feels like for a girl
Silky smooth
Lips as sweet as candy, baby
Tight blue jeans
Skin that shows in patches
Strong inside but you don't know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weak
Chorus:
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world
For a girl
Hair that twirls on finger tips so gently, baby
Hands that rest on jutting hips repenting
Hurt that's not supposed to show
And tears that fall when no one knows
When you're trying hard to be your best
Could you be a little less
(chorus)
(chorus, prefixing 3rd line with "What it feels like")
Strong inside but you don't know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weak
(chorus, repeat)
In this world
Do you know
Do you know
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
What it feels like in this world
(Spoken:)
A copper.
How do ya like that boys, a copper.
And we went for it, I went for it
Treated him like a kid brother
And I was gonna split fifty-fifty with a copper.
They were there waitin' to pin a medal on him
"Come on get up, get your hands up!"
Yeah, that's it, a nice gold medal for the copper
Only maybe he's gonna get it sooner than he thinks!
Chorus:
Get up, stand tall
Put your back up against the wall
'Cause my love is dangerous
This is a bust
(repeat)
You think you can have my love for free
Well I've got news for you, that's not the way it's gonna be
So don't come hangin' round my door
If you're not ready to give, you're not gonna get much more
Bridge:
I don't want to live out your fantasy
Love's not that easy
This time you're gonna, gonna have to play my way
Come on make my day
(chorus)
Can you feel the rhythm of my mind
Boy, I've got so much to give, but I don't want to waste my time
I can't let my heart put on a show
'Til you surrender baby, you've got to let it go
(bridge)
(chorus)
Drop your weapons, you'd better come clean
I've got you covered, I'll catch you when you fall to me
I'm not gonna hurt you, 'cause I'm not that kind
We're not goin' nowhere 'till you have a change of mind
(Spoken:)
"You haven't got a chance, come out with your hands up"
'Come out with your hands up', the man says
How do ya like that, ma? Heh!
Here's my answer, you dirty ...
(bridge)
(chorus)
[Get up, stand tall]
Come on baby make my day
['Cause my love is dangerous]
Gonna have to play my way
In a world that's changing.
I'm a stranger in a strange land.
There's a contradiction.
And I'm stuck here in between.
Life is like a desert.
An oasis to confuse me.
So I walk this crazy ex where has stand where I fall.
I don't lie, not trying to pretend that nothing is what it seems.
Jump between the impulses, stay or running away from all this madness.
Who am I.
To decide what should be done.
If this is the end then let it come.
Let it come.
Let it rain.
Rain all over me.
Like a tide, let it flow.
Let it wash all over me.
Over me.
Let it wash all over me.
Over me.
Let it wash all over me.
[Instrumental]
All of my illusions.
Could be shattered in a second.
You can fled a needle with the cheer of my eyes.
It should injustice to be with this, two of things I see.
Looking for the answer when it's right in front of me.
From the Tower of Babylon where nothing is what it seems.
Gonna watch the sun going down.
I'm not gonna run from all this sadness.
Who I was.
To decide what should be done.
If this is the end then let it come.
Let it come.
Let it rain.
Rain all over me.
Like a tide, let it flow.
Let it wash all over me.
Over me.
Let it wash all over me.
Over me.
Let it wash all over me.
Why's it so hard to love one another
Why's it so hard to love
(repeat)
What do i have to do to be accepted
What do i have to say
What do i have to do to be respected
How do i have to play
What do i have to look like to feel i'm equal
Where do i have to go
What club do i have to join to prove i'm worthy
Who do i have to know
Chorus:
I'm telling you brothers, sisters
Why can't we learn to challenge the system
Without living in pain
Brothers, sisters
Why can't we learn to accept that we're different
Before it's too late (first time only)
Why's it so damn hard (all other times)
What do i have to learn to know what's right for me
What do i have to know
What am i going to do when i feel righteous
Where do i have to go
Who should get to say what i believe in
Who should have the right
What am i going to do with all this anger
Why do i have to fight
(chorus)
Bring your love, sing your love
Wear your love, share your love

Bring your love, sing your love
Wear your love, show your sister how
Brothers, sisters, what do i have to say
Brothers, sisters, how do i have to play
Brothers, sisters, who should have the right
Brothers, sisters, why do i have to fight
Why's it so hard to love one another
Love your sister, love your brother

Why's it so hard to love one another
Why's it so hard to love

Sing your love
Share your love

Love your brother now
Show your sister how
Love your brother now
Show your sister

Sitting on a park bench
Thinking about a friend of mine
He was only 23
Gone before he had his time
It came without a warning
Didn't want his friends to see him cry
He knew the day was dawning
And i didn't have a chance to say goodbye
Chorus:
In this life i loved you most of all
What for?
'cause now you're gone and i have to ask myself
What for?
What for?
Driving down the boulevard
Thinking about a man i knew
He was like a father to me
Nothing in the world that he wouldn't do
Taught me to respect myself
Said that we're all made of flesh and blood
Why should he be treated differently
Shouldn't matter who you choose to love
(chorus)
Intermediate:
People pass by and i wonder who's next
Who determines, who knows best
Is there a lesson i'm supposed to learn in this case
Ignorance is not bliss
(chorus)
(intermediate)
Have you ever watched your best friend die [what for]
Have you ever watched a grown man cry [what for]
Some say that life isn't fair [what for]
I say that people just don't care [what for]
They'd rather turn the other way [what for]
And wait for this thing to go away [what for]
Why do we have to pretend [what for]
Some day i pray it will end
I hope it's in this life
I hope it's in this life time
(repeat)
What can you lose?
Only the blues.
Why keep concealing everything you're feeling?
Say it to her, what can you lose?
Maybe it shows,
She's had clues, which she chose to ignore.
Maybe though she knows,
And just wants to go on as before.
As a friend, nothing more
So she closes the door.
Well, if she does
Those are the dues.
Once the words are spoken,
Something may be broken.
Still, you love her
What can you lose?
But what if she goes?
At least now, you have part of her.
What if she had to choose?
Leave it alone
Hold it all in.
Better a bone
Don't even begin.
With so much to win,
There's too much to lose.
when the world starts to get you down
and nothing seems to go your way
and the noise of the maddening crowd
makes you feel like you’re going to go insane
there’s a glow of a distant light
calling you to come outside
to feel the wind on your face and your skin
and it’s here i begin my story
turn up the radio
turn up the radio
don’t ask me where i wanna go
we gotta turn up the radio
it was time that i opened my eyes
i’m leaving the past behind
nothing’s ever what it seems
including this time and this crazy scene
i’m stuck like a moth to a flame
i’m so tired of playing this game
i don’t know how i got to this state
let me out of my cage cause i’m dying
turn up the radio
turn up the radio
don’t ask me where i wanna go
we gotta turn up the radio
turn up the radio
turn up the radio
don’t ask me where i wanna go
we gotta turn up the radio
i just wanna get in my car
i wanna go fast and i gotta go far
don’t ask me to explain how i feel
‘cause i don’t want to say where i’m going
turn down the noise and turn up the volume
don’t have a choice cause the temperatures pounding
leaving this place is the last thing i do
that i want to escape with a person just like you
i’m so sick and tired of playing this game
we gotta have fun it it’s all that we do
gotta shake up the system and break all the rules
gotta turn up the radio until the speakers blow
turn up the radio
turn up the radio
don’t ask me where i wanna go
we gotta turn up the radio
turn up the radio
turn up the radio
there’s somethings you don’t need to know
just let me turn up the radio
Che: Tell me before I waltz out of your life
Before turning my back on the past
Forgive my impertinent behavior
But how long do you think this pantomime can last
Tell me before I ride off in the sunset
There's one thing I never got clear
How can you claim your our savior
When those who oppose you are stepped on or cut up
Or simply disappear
Eva: Tell me before you get onto your bus
Before joining the forgotten brigade
How can one person like me say
Alter the time honored way the game is played
Tell me before you get onto your high horse
Just what you expect me to do
I don't care what the borguoisie say
I'm not in buisness for them but to give all my descamisados
A magical moment or two
Eva & Che: There is evil ever around
Fundamental system of government quite incidental
Eva: So what are my chances of honest advances
I'd say lo better to win by admitting my sin than to lose with the halo
Che: Tell me before I seek worthier pastures
And thereby restore self esteem
How can you be so short sighted
To look never further than this week or next week
To have no impossible dream
Eva: Allow me to help you slink of to the sidelines
And mark your adeiu with three cheers
But first tell me who'd be delighted
If I said I'd take on the world's greatest problems
From war to polution no hope of solution
Even if I live for 100 years
Eva & Che: There is evil ever around
Fundamental system of government
Quite incidental
Eva: So go if you're able to somewhere unstable and stay there
Whip up your hate in some tottering state
But not here dear
Is that clear dear
Oh what I'd give for a hundred years
But the physical interferes
Everyday more oh my Creator
What is the good

To have and not to hold
So hot, yet so cold
My heart is in your hand
And yet you never stand
Close enough for me to have my way
To love but not to keep
To laugh, not to weep
Your eyes, they go right through
And yet you never do
Anything to make me want to stay
Chorus:
Like a moth to a flame
Only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba
What can I do?
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I've been told
You're to have, not to hold
To look but not to see
To kiss but never be
The object of your desire
I'm walking on a wire
And there's no one at all
To break my fall
(chorus)
You're to have, not to hold
You're to have, not to hold

You're to have, not to hold
You're to have, not to hold

To break my heart

You try everything you can to escape
The pain of life that you know [life that you know]

Something better than you are today
I know a place where you can get away
It's called a dance floor, and here's what it's for, so

Come on, vogue
Let your body move to the music [move to the music]
Hey, hey, hey

Go inside, for your finest inspiration
Your dreams will open the door [open up the door]
It makes no difference if you're black or white
If you're a boy or a girl
If the music's pumping it will give you new life
You're a superstar, yes, that's what you are, you know it
(chorus, substituting "groove" for "move")
Beauty's where you find it
Not just where you bump and grind it
Soul is in the musical
That's where i feel so beautiful
Magical, life's a ball
So get up on the dance floor

This used to be my playground [used to be]
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say
Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask
(Long and movie versions only:)
(chorus)
Live and learn
Well the years they flew
And we never knew
We were foolish then
We would never tire
And that little fire
Is still alive in me
It will never go away
Can't say goodbye to yesterday [can't say goodbye]
(chorus)
No regrets
But I wish that you
Were here with me
Well then there's hope yet
I can see your face
In our secret place
You're not just a memory
Say goodbye to yesterday [the dream]
Those are words I'll never say [I'll never say]
This used to be my playground [used to be]
This used to be our pride and joy
This used to be the place we ran to
That no one in the world could dare destroy
(Short and movie versions only:)
This used to be our playground [used to be]
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
I wish you were standing here with me

This used to be our great escape

I've had other guys
I've looked into their eyes
But I never knew love before
'Til you walked through my door
I've had other lips
I've sailed a thousand ships
But no matter where I go
You're the one for me baby this I know, 'cause it's
Chorus:
True love
You're the one I'm dreaming of
Your heart fits me like a glove
And I'm gonna be true blue baby I love you
I've heard all the lines
I've cried oh so many times
Those tear drops they won't fall again

Wonder what love is all about
Just think back and remember dear
Those words whispered in your ear, I said

No more sadness, I kiss it good-bye
The sun is bursting right out of the sky
I searched the whole world for someone like you
Don't you know, don't you know that it's

How many licks does it take?
You're a thief of hearts and now you'll have to pay
Which leg do you want me to break?
You'll be sorry
Here she comes, little miss thinks she can have what she wants
In a blink of an eye
Here she comes, acts like she's your best friend
Then you turn your back and she's off with your guy
Chorus:
She's a thief of hearts
What will happen to the thief of hearts
What she's done is a crime
She's a thief of hearts
Someone please arrest her
She's a thief of hearts
No one ever takes what's mine
And gets away with it
Not this time

So you give advice and she gives you her poison
Here she comes, little miss black widow
First she spins her web and she's stealing your boyfriend

Thief of hearts, bitch

You'll do it, you'll take it
You'll screw it, you'll fake it
Undo it, you'll break it

I could break you, 'cause what you've done is a crime, bitch

Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change, but it won't, if you don't
Our luck is running out of time
You're not in love with me anymore
I wish that it would change, but it won't
'cause you don't love me no more
You need so much but not from me
Turn your back in my hour of need
Something's wrong but you pretend you don't see
I think i interrupt your life
When you laugh it cuts me just like a knife
I'm not your friend, i'm just your little wife

They never laugh, not like before
She takes the keys, he breaks the door
She cannot stay here anymore
He's not in love with her anymore
The bruises they will fade away
You hit so hard with the things you say
I will not stay to watch your hate as it grows
You're not in love with someone else
You don't even love yourself
Still i wish you'd ask me not to go
(chorus)
He takes a drink, she goes inside
He starts to scream, the vases fly
He wishes that she wouldn't cry
He's not in move with her anymore
He makes demands, she draws the line
He starts the fight, she starts the lie
But what is truth when something dies
He's not in love with her anymore
You're not in love with someone else
You don't even love yourself
Still i wish you'd ask me not to go
(chorus)
She's had enough, she says the end
But she'll come back, she knows it then
A chance to start it all again
Till death do us part
Che: In June of '43 there was a military coup
Behind it was a gang called the G.O.U.
Who did not feel the need to be elected
They had themselves a party at the point of a gun
They were slightly to the right of Attila the Hun
A bomb or two and very few objected
Yeah just one shell and governments fall like flies
Kapow die
They stumble and fall
Bye bye
Backs to the wall
Aim high
We're having a ball
The tank and bullet rule as democracy dies
The lady's got potential she was setting her sights
On making it in movies with her name in lights
The greatest social climber since Cinderella
Okay she couldn't act but she had the right friends
And we all know a career depends
On knowing the right fella to be stellar
Yeah just one shell and governments lose their nerve
Kapow die
They stumble and fall
Bye bye
Backs to the wall
Aim high
We're having a ball
That's how we get the government we deserve
Now the man behind the president calling the shots
Involved so discreetly in a lot of their plots
Was Colonel Juan Peron would be dictator
He began in the army out in Italy so
Saw Mussolini's rise from the very front row
I reckon he'd do likewise sooner or later
Yeah just one blast and the teargas falls like rain
Kapow die
They haven't a chance
Bye bye
The terrors advance
But one guy
Doesn't dirty his hands
Peron was biding time out in the slow lane
Yeah suddenly an earthquake hit the town of San Juan
Kapow die
They stumble and fall
Bye bye
Keep away from the wall
But one guy
Was having a ball
The tragedy a golden chance for Peron
He organized a concert with incredible flair
In aid of all the victims such a grand affair

I'm getting tired of waitin' around
I feel like i'm always trackin' you down
I don't wanna point my finger at you
But there's something you're forgettin'
Here's what you better do, you better
Chorus:
Think of me
I know you want to baby
Think of me
It won't be long before you
Think of me
'cause i'll be gone and then you'll
Think of me
You walk in and you see me cryin'
You apologize say you lost track of time
I'm not gonna cry anymore
You're gonna lose me too if you don't
Know what's good for you, you better
(chorus)
Tell me what i did to you to make you
Treat me so badly
If you wanna see me anymore
If you don't wanna see me walking out the door you better
(chorus)
Stop wastin' all my time
You know it could have been so fine
Hey boy i'm waitin' on a sign
Don't you know there's someone else
Stop thinking of yourself
English: Thus all fairy stories end
Only an actress would pretend
Affairs of state are her latest play
Eight shows a week 2 matinees
My how the worm begins to turn
When will the chorus girl ever learn
My how the worm begins to turn
When will the chorus girl ever learn
Eva: The chorus girl hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear
She won't go scrambling over the backs of the poor to be accepted
By making donations just large enough to the correct charity
She won't be president of your wonderful societies of philanthropy
Even if you asked her to be
As you should have asked her to be
The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear
She won't join your clubs she won't dance in your halls
She won't help the hungry once a month at your tombolas
She'll simply take control as you disappear
Che: Forgive my intrusion but fine as those sentiments sound
Little has changed for us peasants down here on the ground
I hate to sound childish ungrateful I don't like to moan
But do you now represent anyone's cause but your own
Eva: Everything done will be justified by my foundation
Your heart is not open so I must go
The spell has been broken, I loved you so
Freedom comes when you learn to let go
Creation comes when you learn to say no
You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress you had to burn
Pain is a warning that something's wrong
I pray to God that it won't be long
Do ya wanna go higher?
Chorus:
There's nothing left to try
There's no place left to hide
There's no greater power
Than the power of good-bye
Your heart is not open so I must go
The spell has been broken, I loved you so
You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress
Chorus2:
There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power
Than the power of good-bye
Learn to say good-bye
I yearn to say good-bye
(chorus, substituting "no more places" for "no place left")
(chorus2)
Some nights, all alone
Thoughts of you come creepin' in
Temporarily insane
Cause you're never gonna change, no
We had good times with the bad
Always out with what we had
Keep your pride, I'm not mad
Make me feel like loves a fad
I'd always thought
We'd be happily forever
The beat is so crazy
It makes me wanna let go
And totally forget today
I'm better off anyway
O-oh, oh, oh, o-oh
O-oh, oh, oh, o-oh
O-oh, oh, oh, o-oh
O-oh, oh, oh, o-oh
Never thought I was the type to hang around
Lied to myself constantly
Bout the person I thought you would be
Who's to blame, I guess it's me
I cause my own misery
Tit for tat, this and that
I needed my own life back
Now here I am
I'm so happy it's time to move on
The beat is so crazy
It makes me wanna let go
And totally forget today
I'm better off anyway
O-oh, oh, oh, o-oh
O-oh, oh, oh, o-oh
O-oh, oh, oh, o-oh
O-oh, oh, oh, o-oh
We had, we had, we had, we had
(Are you listening?)
We had good times with the bad
Always out with what we had
Keep your pride, I'm not mad
Make me feel like loves a fad
I'd always thought, we'd be happily forever
I'd always thought (what you want her to do?) now here I am
I'd always thought (why can't you listen?) we'd be happily forever
The beat is so crazy
It makes me wanna let go
And totally forget today
I'm better off anyway
O-oh, oh, oh, o-oh
O-oh, oh, oh, o-oh
O-oh, oh, oh, o-oh
O-oh, oh, oh, o-oh

Take a bow, the night is over
This masquerade is getting older
Light are low, the curtains down
There's no one here
[there's no one here, there's no one in the crowd]
Say your lines but do you feel them
Do you mean what you say when there's no one around [no one around]
Watching you, watching me, one lonely star
[one lonely star you don't know who you are]
Chorus:
I've always been in love with you [always with you]
I guess you've always known it's true [you know it's true]
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye
Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye
Make them laugh, it comes so easy
When you get to the part
Where you're breaking my heart [breaking my heart]
Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown
[just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown]
Wish you well, i cannot stay
You deserve an award for the role that you played [role that you played]
No more masquerade, you're one lonely star
[one lonely star and you don't know who you are]
(chorus, repeat)
Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye
All the world is a stage [world is a stage]
And everyone has their part [has their part]
But how was i to know which way the story'd go
How was i to know you'd break
[you'd break, you'd break, you'd break]
You'd break my heart
I've always been in love with you
[i've always been in love with you]
Guess you've always known
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye
You, you make my life much brighter
You're always on my mind
You, you make my load much lighter
True love is hard to find
Sometimes i feel i have to get away
I change my mind when i look in your eyes
And when those clouds come in and try to darken our days
I'll always want you to
Chorus:
Stay, stay darling (repeat 3 times)
You saw through my lies and deception
Yeah i was losing my way
You, you gave my life some direction
And now i'm ready to say
I know there's bound to be some hard times ahead
I'd be a fool to believe
But if you go i'd rather think of dying instead
I never want you to leave
(chorus)
Intermediate:
When you walked out my door
I knew you'd be back for more
Let's leave the past behind
Ture love is so hard to find
Don't be afraid
It's gonna be all right
'cause i know that i can make you love me
Love me, love, love, love, love me, love me
(intermediate)
I'll always want you to stay
(chorus)
And then we can scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop
You know you've got to stay
I think about you night and day
You know you've got to stay
I can make you love me
Love me, love me, love me...
I'll never be an angel
I'll never be a saint it's true
I'm too busy surviving
Whether it's heaven or hell
I'm gonna be living to tell, so
Bridge:
Here's my story [my story]
No risk no glory [no glory]
A little
Chorus:
Up and down and all around
It's all about survival
(verse)
Here's my question [my question]
Does your criticism [criticism]
Have you caught up in what you cannot see
Well if you give me respect
Then you'll know what to expect, a little
[up and down and all around]
I'll never be an angel
[up and down and all around, survival]
[up and down and all around]
I'll never be a saint it's true
[up and down and all around, survival]
(repeat and fade)
I know for sure his heart is here with me
Though i wish him back, i know he cannot see
My hands trembling, i know he hears me sing
Chorus:
I light this candle and watch it throw
Tears on my pillow
And if there is a christ, he'll come tonight
To pray for spanish eyes
And if i have nothing left to show
Tears on my pillow
What kind of life is this if god exists
Then help me pray for spanish eyes
He had to fight like all the rest
In the barrio all the streets are paved with fear
I don't understand; at least he was a man
(chorus)
Intermediate:
How many lives will they have to take?
How much heartache?
How many suns will they have to burn?
Spanish eyes
When will they ever learn?
You were not the maravilla in our minds
We were proud to fight but we cannot win this blind
Stand your guns against the wall
Who's next in line to fall
(chorus)

Tus lagrimas de tristeza
No me dejan olvidarte
Your tears of sadness
Will not let me forget you

Sooner or later you're gonna be mine,
Sooner or later you're gonna be fine.
Baby, it's time that you face it,
I always get my man.
Sooner or later you're gonna decide,
Sooner or later there's nowhere to hide.
Baby, it's time, so why waste it in chatter?
Let's settle the matter.
Baby, you're mine on a platter,
I always get my man.
But if you insist, babe, the challenge delights me.
The more you resist, babe, the more it excites me.
And no one i've kissed, babe, ever fights me again.
If you're on my list, it's just a question of when.
When i get a yen, then baby, amen.
I'm counting to ten, and then ...
I'm gonna love you like nothing you've known,
I'm gonna love you, and you all alone.
Sooner is better than later but lover,
I'll hover, i'll plan.
This time i'm not only getting, i'm holding my man.
No one knows you better than you know yourself
Do the thing you want don't wait for someone else
Life is just a party that's all you need to know
It's your turn to shine baby let yourself go
Everybody is a star
Everyone is special in their own way
So you set your goals high and go far
Don't put off tomorrow what you can do today
Chorus:
Spotlight, open up your eyes and see
Spotlight, shining out for you and me
Spotlight, this world is yours and mine
Spotlight, this is your chance to shine
Don't stand in the corner waiting for the chance

When you feel the rhythm, I'll be by your side

Everybody wants to shine
Don't stand in the sideline, step into the light
But it's got to come from inside
Listen to your heart and step into the

Some girls can do anything
Whole world hanging on a string
She's flawless, so fresh and clean
(Like a virgin, sweet and clean)
Some girls got an attitude
Fake tits and a nasty mood
Hot shit when she's in the nude
(In the naughty naked nude)
Some girls got a sexy slur
One drink and it's all a blur
Cash now if you wanna flirt
(Cash or credit it's gonna hurt)
Some girls goin' off the deep end
Some girls livin' for the weekend
Some girls like to get the freak on
Some girls make a scene
Shoot their mouth and talk obscene
Cryin' in the limousine
(Cryin' in the limousine)
Some girls make you feel
like a rocket hard as steel
Some girls only ever like to tease

Some girls are not like me
I'm everything you ever dreamed of
I've got you beggin' baby please

Shoot their mouth and talk obscene

Please don't say 'forgive me'

You're not half the man you'd like to be

Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before
And I can take care of myself
I don't want to hear

Please don't say 'forgive me'
I've seen it all before

Don't explain yourself cause talk is cheap
There's more important things than hearing you speak
We stayed because I made it so convenient
Don't explain yourself you'll never see

Do I know you from somewhere?
Why do you leave me wanting more?
Why do all the things I say
Sound like the stupid things I've said before?
[Put your hand on my skin]
[Put your hand on my skin]
[Put your hand on my skin]
Kiss me, I'm dying
Put your hand on my skin
I close my eyes
I need to make a connection
I'm walking on a thin line
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
(chorus)
Touch me, I'm trying
To see inside of your soul
I've got this thing
I want to make a correction
I'm not like this all the time
You've got this thing
You've got this thing

Kiss me, I'm dying
Put your hand on my skin
I close my eyes
I need to have your protection
I close my eyes
I close your eyes
[Kiss, kiss, kiss me]

Kiss me, I'm dying
Touch me, I'm trying, ohhh
I'm not like this all the time
I'm not like this all the time
Put your hand on my skin
Put your hand on my skin
Put your hand on my skin
Touch me, I'm trying, ohhh
Put your hand on my skin
Put your hand on my skin
I'm not like this all the time
I'm not like this all the time
I'm not like this all the time
Seems i've played the game for much too long
I let people buy my love and i
Never got to sing my songs for you.
I had all my bets laid all on you
Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose.
In the game of love you pay your dues.
Say that happiness cannot be measured,
And a little pain can bring you all life's little pleasures.
What a joke.
Chorus:
I was not your woman, i was not your friend,
But you gave me something to remember.
No other man said love yourself
Nobody else can.
We weren't meant to be,
At least not in this lifetime,
But you gave me something to remember.
I hear you still say, "love yourself".
I had all my bets laid all on you
Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose.
In the game of love i've paid my dues.
Guess i'm waiting for my place in your sun,
Wish i had the chance to know you and it wasn't stormy weather.
What a shame, who's to blame?
Peron: But on the other hand she's all they have
She's a diamond in their dull grey lives
And that's the hardest kind of stone
It usually survives
And when you think about it can you recall
The last time they loved anyone at all
She's not a bauble you can brush aside
She's been out doing what we just talked about
Example gave us back our buisnesses
Got the English out
And when you think about it well why not do
One or two of the things we promised to
But on the other hand she's slowing down
She's lost a little of that magic drive
But I would not advise those critics present
Any satisfaction from her fading star
She's the one who's kept us where are
Advisors: She's the one who's kep you where you are
Sky fits heaven so fly it
That's what the prophet said to me
Child fits mother so hold your baby tight
That's what my future could see
Fate fits karma so use it
That's what the wise man said to me
Love fits virtue so hold on to the light
That's what our future will be
Chorus:
Traveling down this road
Watching the signs as I go
I think I'll follow the sun
Isn't everyone just
Traveling down their own road
Watching the signs as they go
I think I'll follow my heart
It's a very good place to start
Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as I go
Traveling down my own road
And I'm watching the signs as they go
Traveling, traveling
Watching the signs as I go
Hand fits giving so do it
That's what the Gospel said to me
Life fits living so let your judgments go
That's how our future should be
(chorus)
Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as they go
Traveling down my own road
And I'm watching the signs as I go
Rain, feel it on my finger tips
Hear it on my window pane
Your love's coming down like
Rain, wash away my sorrow
Take away my pain
Your love's coming down like rain
When your lips are burning mine
And you take the time to tell me how you feel
When you listen to my words
And i know you've heard, i know it's real
Rain is what this thunder brings
For the first time i can hear my heart sing
Call me a fool but i know i'm not
I'm gonna stand out here on the mountain top
Till i feel your

When you looked into my eyes
And you said goodbye could you see my tears
When i turned the other way
Did you hear me say
I'd wait for all the dark clouds bursting in a perfect sky
You promised me when you said goodbye
That you'd return when the storm was done
And now i'll wait for the light, i'll wait for the sun
Till i feel your

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And i say, never go away
Waiting is the hardest thing

In the dream of you

With all my heart and all my soul

That by sheer force of will

I will raise you from the ground
[everything strange]
And without a sound you'll appear
[everything wild]
And surrender to me, to love
Rain is what the thunder brings
For the first time i can hear my heart sing

Baby here's what i see
I see so much confusion
And it's killing me
When i look in your eyes
Baby here's what i see

I don't want to be alone, and maybe
You will see the light, baby spend the night

I worship the gurus' lotus feet
Awakening the happiness of the self revealed
Beyond comparison, working like the jungle
physician
To pacify loss of consciousness from the
poison of existence
In the form of a man up to the shoulders
Holding a conch, discus and sword
Thousand headed, white
I bow respectfully
Peace
You lost your reputation on a woman
You didn't understand or care to know
You get your education from your lovers
But now there's just no place for you to go
Chorus:
It doesn't pay
To be a runaway lover
It doesn't pay
To give away what you lack
You'll never get your money back
You're set adrift with no direction
Just like a ship that's lost at sea
You don't care where you drop your anchor
Make sure it doesn't land on me
(chorus, repeat)
Walking around on a cloud
'Cause every girl you meet just trips on you
Saying your name out loud
I guess you met your match
Now what will you do
Don't give it away
(chorus, repeat)
Walking around on a cloud
'Cause every girl you meet just trips on you
Saying your name out loud
I guess you met your match
Now what will you do
It doesn't pay
It doesn't pay
It doesn't pay
To give your heart away
To a runaway lover
Things haven't been the same
Since you came into my life
You found a way to touch my soul
And I'm never, ever, ever gonna let it go
Bridge:
Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with me
Chorus:
Mmm mmm (skip for the first two times)
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over me
My baby's got a secret
You gave me back the paradise
That I thought I lost for good
You helped me find the reasons why
It took me by surprise that you understood
You knew all along
What I never wanted to say
Until I learned to love myself
I was never ever lovin' anybody else
I'm talking, i'm talking
I believe in the power of love
I'm singing, i'm singing
I believe that you can rescue me
With you i'm not a little girl, with you i'm not a man
When all the hurt inside of me comes out, you understand
You see that i'm ferocious, you see that i am weak
You see that i am silly, and pretentious and a freak
But i don't feel too strange for you
Don't know exactly what you do
I think when love is pure you try
To understand the reasons why
And i prefer this mystery
It cancels out my misery
And gives me hope that there could be
A person that loves me
Chorus:
Rescue me [rescue me, it's hard to believe]
Your love has given me hope
Rescue me [rescue me, it's hard to believe]
I'm drowning, baby throw out your rope
With you i'm not a fascist, can't play you like a toy
And when i need to dominate, you're not my little boy
You see that i am hungry for a life of understanding
And you forgive my angry little heart when she's demanding
You bring me to my knees while i'm scratching out the eyes
Of a world i want to conquer, and deliver, and despise
And right while i am kneeling there
I suddenly begin to care
And understand that there could be
A person that loves me
(chorus)
Love is understanding
It's hard to believe life can be so demanding
I'm sending out an s.o.s.
Stop me from drowning baby i'll do the rest
Rescue me (echo)
Your love has given me hope [your love has given me hope]
Rescue me (echo)
I'm drowning, baby throw out your rope [baby throw out your rope]
(repeat)
Ooh ahh, ooh ahh, love is understanding
Ooh ahh, ooh ahh, love is understanding
Love is understanding
It's hard to believ

(spoken:)
Surely whoever speaks to me in the right voice
Him or her i shall follow
Who needs the sun, when the rain's so full of life
Who needs the sky
It's here in your arms i want to be buried
You are my sanctuary
Who needs the sun, when the rain's so full of life
Who needs the sky, when the ground's open wide
It's here in your arms i want to be buried
You are my sanctuary
Who needs a smile, when a tear's so full of love
Who needs a home, with the stars up above
It's here in your heart i want to be carried
You are my sanctuary
Who needs the light, with the darkness in your eyes
Who needs to sleep, with the stars in the sky
It's here in your soul i want to be married
You are my sanctuary
(spoken:)
And the earth was void and empty
And darkness was upon the face of the earth
Is all of this pain so necessary
You are my sanctuary
(spoken:)
Surely whoever speaks to me in the right voice
Him or her i shall follow
As the water follows the moon, silently
Who needs the sun [with fluid steps]
Who needs the sky [around the globe]
Who needs to sleep [i hear your voice]
You are [you are] my sanctuary
You are [you are, you are]
You are [you are] my sanctuary
I live my life like a masochist.
Hearing my father say "told you so, told you so".
Why can't you be like the other girls.
I said, oh no, that's not me.
And I don't think that it'll ever me.
Thought I'd belong to a different tribe.
Walking alone, never satisfied, satisfied.
Tried to fit in, but it wasn't me.
I said, oh no, I don't want it more.
That's not what I'm looking for.
So I took the road-less.
And I barely made it out alive.
Through the darkness somehow I survived.
Deep down in the dust of my rebel heart.
I’ve spent some time as a narcissist.
Hearing the others say “Look at you, look at you!”
Trying to be so provocative.
I said “Oh yeah, that was me!”
All of the things I did, just to be seen.
Oops I guess I shot ya
My finger's on the trigger
I had a bullet with your name on it
Click click
I'm a sex pistol
My love should be illegal
Real deal baby
I'm no counterfeit
Click click

Line ‘em up
Knock ‘em down
My looks can kill
E-O-E-O
My body's fully loaded
And I got more ammo

You're an accessory to a murder cause
My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?
My love's a revolver
My sex is a killer
Do you wanna die happy?
Do you wanna die happy?
I let it bang bang
You've been hit by a smooth criminal
A bad girl
I got you cryin' to your mama
Sayin'
I can't believe it
I seen ya tight
Bring ya knife into a gun fight
Caught up in love right
Think I'm in love, I

Peron: People of Europe
I send you the rainbow of Argentina
Che: Spain has fallen to the charms of Evita
She can do what she likes it doesn't matter much
Advisor: She's our lady of the new world with a golden touch
She filled a bullring 45,000 seater
Che: But if you're prettier than General Franco
That's not hard
Advisor: Franco's reign in Spain should see out the '40s
So you've just acquired an ally who
Looks as secure in his job as you
But more important current political thought is
Your wife's a phenominal asset your trump card
All: Let's hear it for the rainbow tour
It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure we had a few doubts
Will Evita win through
But the answer is yes
Peron: There you are I told you so
Makes no difference where she goes
The whole world over just the same
Just listen to them call her name
And who would underestimate the actress now
Che: Now I don't like to spoil a wonderful story
But the news from Rome isn't quite as good
She hasn't gone down like they thought she would
Italy's unconvinced by Argentine glory
They equate Peron with Mussolini can't think why
Eva: Did you hear that they called me a whore
They actually called me a whore
Evita's escort: But Senora Peron it's an easy mistake
I'm still called an admiral yet I gave up the sea long ago
Advisor: More bad news from Rome she met with the pope
She only got a rosary a kindly word
Che: I wouldn't say the holy father gave her the bird
But papal decorations never a hope
Advisor: She still looked the part in St. Peters
Caught the eye
All: Let's hear it for the rainbow tour
It's been an incredible success
We weren't quite sure we

Words, they cut like a knife
Cut into my life
I don't want to hear your words
They always attack
Please take them all back
If they're yours i don't want anymore
You think you're so smart
You try to manipulate me
You try to humiliate with your words
You think you're so chic
You write me beautiful letters
You think you're so much better than me
Bridge:
But your actions speak louder than words
And they're only words, unless they're true
Your actions speak louder than promises
You're inclined to make and inclined to break
(chorus)
You think you're so shrewd
You try to bring me low
You try to gain control with your words
(bridge)
(chorus)
Friends they tried to warn me about you
He has good manners, he's so romantic
But he'll only make you blue
How can i explain to them
How could they know
I'm in love with your words
Your words
You think you're so sly
I caught you at your game
You will not bring me shame with your words
(bridge)
(chorus)
Too much blinding light
Your touch, i've grown tired of your words
Words, words
A linguistic form that can meaningfully be spoken in isolation
Conversation, expression, a promise, a sigh
In short, a lie
A message from heaven, a signal from hell
I give you my word i'll never tell
Language that is used in anger
Personal feelings signaling danger
A brief remark, an utterance, information
Don't mince words, don't be evasive
Speak your mind, be persuasive
A pledge, a commitment, communication, words
Verse:
Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone
Chorus:
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
Faster than the speeding light she's flying
Trying to remember where it all began
She's got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one
(chorus)
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
(verse)
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Then gone for
Someone else shall be there
Through the endless years
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
And I feel
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light she's flying
Quicker than a ray of light I'm flying
Little girl don't you forget her face
Laughing away your tears
When she was the one who felt all the pain
Little girl never forget her eyes
Keep them alive inside
I promise to try -- it's not the same
Keep your head held high -- ride like the wind
Never look behind, life isn't fair
That's what you said, so i try not to care
Little girl don't run away so fast
I think you forgot to kiss -- kiss her goodbye
Will she see me cry when i stumble and fall
Does she hear my voice in the night when i call
Wipe away all your tears, it's gonna be all right
I fought to be so strong, i guess you knew
I was afraid you'd go away, too
Little girl you've got to forget the past
And learn to forgive me
I promise to try -- but it feels like a lie
Don't let memory play games with your mind
She's a faded smile frozen in time
I'm still hanging on -- but i'm doing it wrong
Can't kiss her goodbye -- but i promise to try
Eva: There again I've more to do
Than simply get the message through
I haven't started
Let's get this show on the road
Let's make it obvious
Peron is off and rolling
Eva: I came from the people they need to adore me
So Christian Dior me from my head to my toes
I need to be dazzling I want to be rainbow high
They must have excitement so must I
Male chorus: Eyes, hair, mouth, figure,
dress, voice, style, movement
Eva: I'm their product it's vital you sell me
So Machiavel me make an Argentine rose
I need to be thrilling I want to be rainbow high
They need their escape and so do I
Eva: All my descamisados expect me to outshine the enemy
I won't disappoint them
I'm their savior that's what they call me
So Lauren Bacall me anything goes
To meke me fantastic I have to be rainbow high
In magical colours
You're not decorating a girl for a night on the town
And I'm not a second rate queen getting kicks with a crown
Next stop will be Europe
The rainbow's gonna tour dressed up somewhere to go
We'll put on a show
Look out mighty Europe
Because you oughta know what you're gonna get in me
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of
Argentina's brand of star quality
You say that you need my love
And you're wantin' my body, i don't mind
Baby all i've got is time
And i'm waiting to make you mine
You say you wanna stay the night
But you'll leave me tomorrow, i don't care
All of your moves are right
We can take it anywhere, this
Chorus:
Physical attraction
It's a chemical reaction
Physical attraction
Chemical reaction
Trying hard to get away
But i can't seem to fight the way i feel
Even though you're not for real
Your touch is driving me
Crazy and when you smile
It's just makin' me want you more and more
Baby won't you stay a while
It could be such a fantasy
(chorus)
Maybe we were meant to be together
Even though we never met before
We got to move before the sun is rising
And you'll be walking slowly out the door
You push me to go the extra mile
You push me when it's difficult to smile
You push me, a better version of myself
You push me, only you and no one else
You push me to see the other point of view
You push me when there's nothing else to do
You push me when I think I know it all
You push me when I stumble and I fall
Keep on pushin' like nobody
Every place I live, every mood I'm in
Everything I do, I owe it all to you
Every move I make, every step I take
Every thing I know, it's all because you push me
You push me when I don't appreciate
You push me not to lie and not to hate
You push me when I want it all to end
You push me when I really need a friend
You push me, all I wanna do is cry
You push me when it's time for me to try
You push me when I do it for myself
You push me, only you and no one else
Keep on pushin' like nobody
Every place I live, every mood I'm in
Everything I do, I owe it all to you
Every move I make, every step I take
Every thing I do, it's all because you push me
You push me
Keep on pushin' like nobody
Keep on, keep on
Every place I live (to go the extra mile)
Every mood I'm in (when it's difficult to smile)
Everything I do (a better version of myself)
I owe it all to you (only you and only you and only you)
Every move I make (to see the other point of view)
Every step I take (when there's nothing else to do)
Every thing I do (I think I know it all)
It's all because you push me (only you and only you and only you)
Every place I live (to go the extra mile)
Every mood I'm in (when it's difficult to smile)
Everything I do (a better version of myself)
I owe it all to you (only you and only you and only you)
Every move I make

Eva: Peron is everything. He is the soul, the nerve, the hope,
and the reality of the Argentine people. We all know that there is only one man
in our movement with his own source of light, we all feed from his light,

Che: And now she wants to be vice president
Advisors: That was the over the top unacceptable suggestion
We didn't approve but we couldn't prevent the games of the wife of the president
But to give her pretentions encouragement
She's out of her depth and out of the question
He's a pretender, he knows just what to say
He's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day
He's a pretender, that fish that got away
He's a pretender, why'd i fall in love
It was so strange the way he held my hand
I wanted more than just a one night stand
He had a way of making me believe
That he was mine and that he'd never leave
Chorus:
I know that i should take my friend's advice
'cause if it happened once, you know it happens twice
If there's a chance then i know i've got to try
I'll make him dance with me, i'll make him tell me why
He's a pretender
He's a pretender
Intermediate:
I'm not afraid to fall a hundred times
And i'll believe in all your silly lies
I'd like to think that i could change your mind
Don't say that i am blind, i know all about your kind
He's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day
He's a pretender, that fish that got away
He's a pretender, why'd i fall in love
I like the way he moved across the floor
And when he danced with me i knew he wanted more
But in the dark things happened much too fast
I should've stopped him then, i knew it wouldn't last
(chorus)
(intermediate)
He's a pretender, yeah you meet him every day
He's a pretender, that fish that got away
He's a pretender, why'd i fall in love
Papa i know you're going to be upset
'cause i was always your little girl
But you should know by now
I'm not a baby
You always taught me right from wrong
I need your help, daddy please be strong
I may be young at heart
But i know what i'm saying
The one you warned me all about
The one you said i could do without
We're in an awful mess, and i don't mean maybe - please
Chorus:
Papa don't preach, i'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, i've been losing sleep
But i made up my mind, i'm keeping my baby, oh
I'm gonna keep my baby, mmm...
He says that he's going to marry me
We can raise a little family
Maybe we'll be all right
It's a sacrifice
But my friends keep telling me to give it up
Saying i'm too young, i ought to live it up
What i need right now is some good advice, please
(chorus)
Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good he's been treating me
You'd give us your blessing right now
'cause we are in love, we are in love, so please
(chorus)
Papa don't preach, i'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, i've been losing sleep

Oh, i'm gonna keep my baby, ooh
Don't you stop loving me daddy
I know, i'm keeping my baby
Che: At the watering holes
Of the well to do
I detect a resistance to
English: Precisely
Che: Our heroine's style
English: We're glad you noticed
Che: The shooting sticks
Of the upper class
English: Give her an inch
Che: Aren't supporting a single ass
That would rise for the girl
English: She'll take a mile
Such a shame she wandered
Into our enclosure
How unfortunate this person
Has forced us to be blunt
No we wouldn't mind
Seeing her at Harrod's
But behind the jewelry counter
Not in front
Che: Could there be
In our fighting corps
A lack of enthusiasm for
Troops: Exactly
Che: Peron's latest flame
Troops: You said it brother
Che: Should you wish
To cause great distress
In the tidiest officer's mess
Just mention her name
Troops: That isn't funny
Peron is a fool
Breaking every taboo
Installing the girl in the Army H.Q.
And she's an actress the last straw
Her only good parts are between her thighs
She should stare at the ceiling not reach for the skies
Or she could be his last whore
The evidence suggests
She has other interests
If it's her who's using him
He's exceptionally dim
Bitch
Dangerous jade
English: We have allowed ourselves to slip
We have completely lost our grip
We have declined to an all time low
Tarts have become the set to know
Eva: I am only a radio star with just one weekly show
But speaking as one of the people I want you to know
We are tired of the decline of Argentina with no sign of
A government able to give us the things we deserve
Troops: It's no crime for officers to do as they please
As long as they're discreet and keep clear of di

I see you on the street and you walk on by
You make me wanna hang my head down and cry
If you gave me half a chance you'd see
My desire burning inside of me
But you choose to look the other way
I've had to work much harder than this
For something i want don't try to resist me
Chorus:
Open your heart to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key
I think that you're afraid to look in my eyes
You look a little sad boy, i wonder why
I follow you around but you can't see
You're too wrapped up in yourself to notice
So you choose to look the other way
Well, i've got something to say
Don't try to run i can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to
(chorus)
Open your heart with the key
One is such a lonely number
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Open your heart, i'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key
Don't try to run i can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to
(chorus)
Open your heart with the key
Open your heart, i'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key
(repeat and fade)
I can't remember
When I was young
I can't explain
If it was wrong
My life goes on
But not the same
Into your eyes
My face remains
[I've been so high]
I've been so down
[Up to the skies]
Down to the ground
I was so blind
I could not see
Your paradise
Is not for me
Autour de moi
Je ne vois pas
Qui sont des anges
Surement pas moi
Encore une fois
Je suis cassйe
Encore une fois
Je n'y crois pas
All around me
I could not see
Who are the angels
Surely not me
Once more again
I am broken
Once more again
I don't believe it
Chorus:
I've been so high
I've been so down
Up to the skies
Down to the ground
There is a light
Above my head
Into your eyes
My face remains
(chorus)
I can't remember
When I was young
Into your eyes
My face remains
Che: Now Eva Peron had every disadvantage
You need if you're gonna succeed
No money no cash no father no bright lights
There was nowhere she'd been at the age of 15
As this Tango singer found out
Augustin Magaldi
Who has the distinction of being the first
Man to be of use to Eva Duarte
Magaldi: On this night of a thousand stars
Let me take you to Heaven's door
Where the music of love's guitars
Plays forevermore
In the glow of those twinkling lights
We shall love through eternity
On this night in a million nights
Fly away with me
I never dreamed that a kiss could be as sweet as this
Now I know that it can
I used to wander alone without a love of my own
I was a desperate man
But all my grief disappeard and all the sorrow I feared
Wasn't there anymore
On that magical day when you first came my way
Mi amor
On this night
On this night
On this night of a thousand stars
Let me take you to Heaven's door
Where the music of love's guitars
Plays forevermore
Hurry up, i just can't wait
I gotta do it now i can't be late
I know i'm not afraid i gotta get out the door
If i don't do it now i won't get anymore
You try to criticize my drive
If i lose i don't feel paralyzed
It's not the game it's how you play
And if i fall i get up again now
Chorus:
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
I get up again, over and over
Got past my first mistake
I'll only give as much as i can take
You're never gonna see me standin' still
I'm never gonna stop 'till i get my fill
It doesn't matter who you are
It's what you do that takes you far
And if at first you don't succeed
Here's some advice that you should heed
(chorus, substituting "you" for "i")
Intermediate:
I'm not afraid to say i hear a different beat, oh
And i'll go out in the street, yeah
And i will shout it again
From the highest mountain
Hurry up (repeat 3 times)
Hurry up, i just can't wait
I gotta do it now i can't be late
I know i'm not afraid i gotta get out the door
If i don't do it now i won't get anymore
You try to criticize my drive
If i lose i don't feel paralyzed
It's not the game it's how you play
And if i fall i get up again now
(chorus)
(intermediate)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Shout it, shout it, shout it, ah
Over and over
I turned around too late to see the fallen star
I fell asleep and never saw the sun go down
I took your love for granted
Thought luck was always on my side
I turned around too late and you were gone
Chorus:
So give me one more chance
Darlin' if you care for me
Let me win your love
'Cause you were always there for me
If you care for me,
Be there for me
I like to play the queen of hearts and never thought I'd lose
I rolled the dice but never showed my hand
I planned it out so perfectly,
So you'd never leave a girl like me
I was a fool, but now I understand
(chorus)
Here is the law of the land
You play with fire and you'll get burned
Here is the lesson I've learned
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone
(chorus, without last two lines)
Gimme one more chance
Tell me that it's not too late
Let me win your love
Darlin' please don't hesitate
If you care for me,
Be there for me
Che: Oh what a circus
Oh what a show
Argentina has gone to town
Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron
We've all gone crazy mourning all day and mourning all night
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right
Oh what an exit that's how to go
When they're ringing your curtain down
Demand to be buried like Eva Peron
It's quite a sunset
And good for the country in a roundabout way
We've made the front page of all the world's papers today
But who is this Santa Evita
Why all this howling hysterical sorrow
What kind of goddess has lived among us
How will we ever get by without her
She had her moments she had some style
The best show in town was the crowd
Outside the Casa Rosada crying Eva Peron
But that's all gone now
As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears
We're all gonna see and how
She's done nothing for years
Choir: Salve Regina mater misericordiae
Vita dulcedo et spes nostra
Salve salve Regina
Ad te clamamus
Exules filii Eva
Ad tu suspiramus gementes
Et flentes o clemens o pia
Che: You let down your people Evita
You were supposed to have been immortal
That's all they wanted not much to ask for
But in the end you could not deliver
Sing you fools but you got it wrong
Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long
Your queen is dead your king is through
And she's not coming back to you
Show business kept us all alive
Since 17 October 1945
But the star has gone
The glamour's worn thin
That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in
Instead of government we had a stage
Instead of ideas a prima donna's rage
Instead of help we were given a crowd
She didn't say much but she said it loud
It's funny, that way, you can get used to the tears and the pain
what a child will believe, you never loved me
You can't hurt me now
I got away from you,
I never thought i would
You can't make me cry
You once had the power
I never felt so good about myself
Seems like yesturday, i laid next to your boots and i prayed
For your anger to end, oh father i have sinned
You can't hurt me now
I got away from you,
I never thought i would
You can't make me cry
You once had the power
I never felt so good about myself
Oh, father you never wanted to live that way
You never wanted to hurt me, why am i running away?
(Repeat)
Maybe someday, when i look back i'll be able to say
"You didn't mean to be cruel, somebody hurt too"
You can't hurt me now
I got away from you,
I never thought i would
You can't make me cry
You once had the power
I never felt so good
(Repeat) about myself
Let's dance, you can do a little two-step
I'll go anywhere that you step to, 'cause i'm following you.
My feet might be falling out of rhythm,
Don't know what i'm doing with them, but i know i'm following you.
Unlikely as it is to me, on the floor with two left feet
Let's boogie woogie till our hearts skip a beat, but who's counting?
Encore, once again around the dance floor
Romance is in the picture too, now i'm following you.
Unlikely as it is to me, on the floor with two left feet
Let's boogie woogie till our hearts skip a beat, but who's counting?
Encore, once again around the dance floor
Romance is in the picture too, now i'm following you.
I'm in love with you, you silly thing
Anyone can see
What is it with you, you silly thing
Just take it from me
It was not a chance meeting
Feel my heart beating
You're the one
You could take all this, take it away
I'd still have it all
'Cause I've climbed the tree of life
And that is why, no longer scared if I fall
When I get lost in space
I can return to this place
'Cause, you're the one
Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails
You washed away my tears
Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails
Nothing fails
I'm not religious
But I feel so moved
Makes me want to pray
Pray you'll always be here
I'm not religious
But I feel such love
Makes me want to pray
When I get lost in space
I can return to this place
'Cause you're the one
I'm not religious
But I feel so moved
I'm not religious
Makes me wanna pray
I'm not religious
But I feel so moved
I'm not religious
Makes me want to pray
Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails
You washed away my tears
Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails
(Spoken:)
Hey Mister D.J.
Put a record on
I wanna dance with my baby
Do you like to boogie-woogie
Do you like to boogie-woogie
Do you like to boogie-woogie
Do you like my Acid Rock
Hey Mister D.J.
Put a record on
I wanna dance with my baby
And when the music starts
I never wanna stop
It's gonna drive me crazy
Music
Chorus:
Music makes the people come together
[Never gonna stop]
Music makes the bourgeoisie and the rebel
[Never gonna stop]
Don't think of yesterday
And I don't look at the clock
I like to boogie-woogie, uh, uh
It's like riding on the wind
And it never goes away
Touches everything I'm in
Got to have it everyday
(chorus)
Hey Mister D.J.

Do you like to boogie-woogie
Do you like my Acid Rock

I've had so many lives
Since I was a child
And I realise
How many times I've died
I'm not that kind of guy
Sometimes I feel shy
I think I can fly
Closer to the sky
No one's telling you how to live your life
But it's a setup until you're fed up
This world is not so kind
People trap your mind
It's so hard to find
Someone to admire
I, I sleep much better at night
I feel closer to the light
Now I'm gonna try
To improve my life
No one's telling you how to live your life
But it's a setup until you're fed up
It's no good when you're misunderstood
But why should I care
What the world thinks of me
Won't let a stranger
Give me a social disease
Nobody, nobody knows me
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me
Like you know me
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me
Like you know me
No one's telling you how to live my life
But it's a setup, and I'm just fed up
It's no good when you're misunderstood
But why should I care
What the world thinks of me
Won't let a stranger
Give me a social disease
I don't want no lies
I don't watch TV
I don't waste my time
Won't read a magazine
I don't want no lies
I don't watch TV
I don't waste my time
Won't read a magazine
I, I sleep much better at night
I feel closer to the light
Now I'm gonna try
To improve my life
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody knows me
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me
Like you know me

Once upon a time i had plenty of nothing,
Which was fine with me.
Because i had rhythm, music, love,
The sun, the stars and the moon above,
Had the clear blue sky and the deep blue sea.
That was when the best things in life were free.
Then time went by and now i got plenty of plenty,
Which is fine with me.
'cause i still got love, i still got rhythm,
But look at what i got to go with 'em.
"who could ask for anything more?", i hear you query.
Who would ask for anything more? well, let me tell you, dearie.
Got my diamonds, got my yacht, got a guy i adore.
I'm so happy with what i got, i want more!
Count your blessings, one, two, three
I just hate keeping score.
Any number is fine with me
As long as it's more
As long as it's more!
I'm no mathematician, all i know is addition
I find counting a bore.
Keep the number mounting, your accountant does the counting.
[more! more!]
I got rhythm, music too, just as much as before
Got my guy and my sky of blue,
Now, however, i own the view.
More is better than nothing, true
But nothing's better than more, more, more
Nothing's better than more.
One is fun, why not two?
And if you like two, you might as well have four,
And if you like four, why not a few
Why not a slew
[more! more!]
If you've got a little, why not a lot?
Add and bit and it'll get to be an oodle.
Every jot and tittle adds to the pot
Soon you've got the kit as well as the caboodle.
[more! more!]
Never say when, never stop at plenty,
If it's gonna rain, let it pour.
Happy with ten, happier with twenty
If you like a penny, wouldn't you like many much more?
Or does that sound too greedy?
That's not greed, no, indeedy

There was a time I was happy in my life
There was a time I believed I'd live forever
There was a time I prayed to Jesus Christ
There was a time I had a mother
It was nice
Nobody else would ever take the place of you
Nobody else could do the things that you could do
No one else I guess could hurt me like you did
I didn't understand, I was just a kid
Bridge:
Oh mother, why aren't you here with me
No one else saw the things that you could see
I'm trying hard to dry my tears
Yes father, you know I'm not so free
Chorus:
I've got to give it up
Find someone to love me
I've got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for
I've got to give it up
Find someone to love me
I've got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for
There was a time I was happy in my life
There was a time I believed I'd live forever
There was a time I prayed to Jesus Christ
There was a time I had a mother
It was nice
(bridge)
(chorus)
My mother died when I was five
And all I did was sit and cry
I cried and cried and cried all day
Until the neighbors went away
They couldn't take my loneliness
I couldn't take their phoniness
My father had to go to work
I used to think he was a jerk
I didn't know his heart was broken
And not another word was spoken
He became a shadow of
The father I was dreaming of
I made a vow that I would never need
Another person ever
Turned my heart into a cage
A victim of a kind of rage
I gotta give it up
(repeat twice)
(chorus)
Find someone that I can care for
Find someone that I can care for
I ran from my house that cannot contain me
From the man that I cannot keep
From my mother who haunts me, even though she's gone
From my daughter that never sleeps
I ran from the noise and the silence
From the traffic on the streets
I ran to the treetops, I ran to the sky
Out to the lake, into the rain that matted my hair
And soaked my shoes and skin
Hid my tears, hid my fears
I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees
I ran and I ran, I was looking for me
I ran past the churches and the crooked old mailbox
Past the apple orchards and the lady that never talks
Up into the hills, I ran to the cemetery
And held my breath, and thought about your death
I ran to the lake, up into the hills
I ran and I ran, I'm looking there still
And I saw the crumbling tombstones
All forgotten names
I tasted the rain, I tasted my tears
I cursed the angels, I tasted my fears
And the ground gave way beneath my feet
And the earth took me in her arms
Leaves covered my face
Ants marched across my back
Black sky opened up, blinding me
I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees
I ran and I ran, I was looking for me
I ran to the lakes and up to the hill
I ran and I ran, I'm looking there still
And I smelled her burning flesh
Her rotting bones
Her decay
I am the promise
That you cannot keep
Reep what you sow
Find what you seek
I am the sorceress
Down in the deep
I am the earth
Under your feet
I am the moon with no light of my own
You are the sun guarding your throne
I heard the angels whisper to me
Look for the signs
He is the one
I'll light a candle here in the dark
Making my way
To your heart
I'll cast a spell that you can't undo
Till you wake up and you find that you love me too
Till you wake up and you find that you love me too
I'll be the bride that is married to life
You are the day, I am the night
Leave you a blanket of silver and gold
I'll keep you warm, do what I'm told
I need your strength, it will keep me from harm
I'll be your queen, save in your arms
Don't want to get to the end of my days
Saying I wasn't to made
I'll light a candle here in the dark
Making my way
To your heart
I'll cast a spell that you can't undo
Till you wake up and you find that you love me too
Till you wake up and you find that you love me too
If you were the Mona Lisa
You'd be hanging in the Louvre,
Everyone would come to see you,
You'd be impossible to move.
It seems to me it's what you are,
A rare and priceless work of art,
Stay behind your velvet rope
But I will not renounce all hope.
And I'm right by your side,
Like a thief in the night
I stand in front of a masterpiece.
And I can't tell you why
It hurts so much
To be in love with the masterpiece.
'Cause after all
Nothing's indestructible...
From the moment I first saw you
All the darkness turned to light.
An impressionistic painting,
Tiny particles of light.
It seem to me it's what you're like,
The "Look but, please, don't touch me" type.
And honestly it can't be fun
To always be the chosen one.
And I'm right by your side,
Like a thief in the night
I stand in front of a masterpiece.
And I can't tell you why
It hurts so much
To be in love with the masterpiece.
'Cause after all
Nothing's indestructible,
Nothing's indestructible,
Nothing's indestructible,
Nothing's indestructible...
And I'm right by your side,
Like a thief in the night
I stand in front of a masterpiece.
And I can't tell you why
It hurts so much
To be in love with a masterpiece. [2x]
'Cause after all
Nothing's indestructible,
'Cause after all
Nothing's indestructible...
Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think they're o.k.
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away
They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light, that's right
'cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always mister right, 'cause we are
Chorus:
Living in a material world
And i am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And i am a material girl
Some boys romance, some boys slow dance
That's all right with me
If they can't raise my interest then i
Have to let them be
Some boys try and some boys lie but
I don't let them play
Only boys who save their pennies
Make my rainy day, 'cause they are
(chorus)
Living in a material world [material]
Living in a material world
(repeat)
Boys may come and boys may go
And that's all right you see
Experience has made me rich
And now they're after me, 'cause everybody's
(chorus)
A material, a material, a material, a material world
Living in a material world [material]
Living in a material world
(repeat and fade)
These are my hands, but what can they give me?
These are my eyes, but they cannot see
These are my arms, but they don't know tenderness
And i must confess that i am usually drawn to sadness
And loneliness has never been a stranger to me, but
Chorus:
Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
Guilty of lust and sin
Love tried to take me in
These are my lips, but they whisper sorrow
This is my voice, but it's telling lies
I know how to laugh, but i don't know happiness
And i must confess, instead of spring, it's always winter
And my heart has always been a lonely hunter, but still
Chorus2:
Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
I was covered with dust and sin
Love tried to take me in
Love tried to break me
And i must confess, instead of spring, it's always winter
And my heart has always been a lonely hunter, but still
(chorus, inserting "i was" before "guilty")
(chorus2, removing "i was")
[love tried to break me]
Love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
Guilty of lust and sin
[i was covered with dust, covered with sorrow]
Love tried to take me in
[covered]
Still, love tried to welcome me
But my soul drew back
[guilty of lust and sin]
Covered with dust and sin
Love tried to take me in
[love tried to break me]
Love tried to welcome me
[love tried to welcome me]
But my soul drew back
Guilty of lust and sin
[but my soul drew back]
Love tried to take me in
[i was covered with sadness]
You must be my lucky star
'cause you shine on me wherever you are
I just think of you and i start to glow
And i need your light
And baby you know
Chorus:
Starlight, starbright first star i see tonight
Starlight, [starbright] make everything all right
Starlight, starbright first star i see tonight
Starlight, [starbright] yeah
You must be my lucky star
'cause you make the darkness seem so far
And when i'm lost you'll be my guide
I just turn around and you're by my side
(chorus)
Come on shine your heavenly body tonight
'cause i know you're gonna make everything all right
You may be my lucky star
But i'm the luckiest by far
Are you wasting my time, are you just being kind
Oh no baby my love isn't blind
Are you wasting my time, are you just being kind
Don't go givin' me one of your lines
Say what you mean, mean what you say
Don't go and throw our love away
God strike me dead if i did you wrong
This is not a love song
Are you just being kind
Am i losing my mind
Time goes by so slowly for those who wait
And those who run seem to have all the fun
But are you wasting my time -- she's so fine
Are you just being kind
Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
That's how i feel, don't fog my mind
Mean what you say or baby i am gone
This is not a love song
Are you just being kind
Am i losing my mind
Love song, love song
Don't try to tell me what your enemies taught you
I'm gone but i just want you to know
That this is not a love song that i want to sing
You had all of me, you wanted more
Would you have married me if I were poor?
Guess if I was your treasury
You'd have found the time to treasure me
How come you can't see
All that you need
Was right here with me
Up until the end
All this pretend wasn't for free
Hold me like your money
Tell me that you want me
Spend your love on me
Spend your love on me
If we opened up a joint account
Would it put an end to all your doubt?
Frankly, if my name was Benjamin
We wouldn't be in the mess we're in
You played with my heart
Till death do we part
That's what you said
Now you have your flash car,
Women and bars, it's gone to your head
Hold me like your money
Tell me that you want me
Spend your love on me
Spend your love on me
Love me like your money
Spend it till there's nothing
Spend your love on me
Spend your love on me
I want you to take me
Like you took your money
Take me in your arms
Until your last breath
I want you to hold me
Like you hold your money
Hold on to me
Till there's nothing left
Love spent, feeling love spent
Yeah I'm love spent
Wondering where the love went
Love spent, yeah I'm love spent
Really love spent
Wondering where it all went
I want you to take me
Like you took your money
Take me in your arms
Until your last breath
I want you to hold me
Like you hold your money
Hold on to me

Make love not war we say
It's easy to recite
But it don't mean a damn
Unless we're gonna fight
But not with guns and knives
We've got to save the lives
Of every boy and girl
That grows up in this world
Chorus:
There's hunger everywhere
We've got to take a stand
Reach out for someone's hand
Love makes the world go round
It's easy to forget
If you don't hear the sound
Of pain and prejudice
Love makes the world go round
They think that love's a lie
But we can teach them how to try
Love means to understand
Reach out for someone's hand
'Cause everything you do
Comes back in time to you
We have to change our fate
Before it gets too late
(chorus)
Don't judge a man 'til you've been standin' in his shoes
You know that we're all so quick to look away
'Cause it's the easy thing to do
You know that what I say is true
Love makes the world go round...
Make love not war we say
It's easy to recite
But it don't mean a damn
Unless we're gonna fight
There are too many questions
There is not one solution
There is no resurrection
There is so much confusion
And the love profusion
You make me feel
You make me know
And the love vibration
You make me feel
You make it shine
There are too many options
There is no consolation
I have lost my illusions
What I want is an explanation
And the love profusion
You make me feel
You make me know
And the love direction
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
There is no comprehension
There is real isolation
There is so much destruction
What I want is a celebration
And I know I can feel bad
When I get in a bad mood
And the world can look so sad
Only you make me feel good
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
And the love profusion
You make me feel
You make me know
And the love intention
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
And I know I can feel bad
When I get in a bad mood
And the world can look so sad
Only you make me feel good
First you love me and I let you in
Made me feel like I was born again
You empowered me, you made me strong
Built me up and I can do no wrong
I let down my guard, I fell into your arms
Forgot who I was, I didn't hear the alarms
Now I'm down on my knees, alone in the dark
I was blind to your game
You fired a shot in my heart
Took me to heaven and let me fall down
Now that it's over I'm gonna carry on
Lifted me up, and watched me stumble
After the heartache I'm gonna carry on
Living for love
Living for love
I'm not giving up
I'm gonna carry on
Living for love
I'm living for love
Not gonna stop
Love's gonna lift me up
(Love, lift me up)
Love's gonna lift me up
(Love, lift me up)
Love's gonna lift me up
I could get caught up in bitterness
But I'm not dwelling on this crazy mess
I found freedom in the ugly truth
I deserve the best and it's not you
You've broken my heart, but you can't bring it down
I've fallen apart, I was lost, now I'm found
I picked up my crown, put it back on my head
I can forgive, but I will never forget
Took me to heaven and let me fall down
Now that it's over I'm gonna carry on
Lifted me up and watched me stumble
After the heartache I'm gonna carry on
Living for love
I'm living for love
I'm not giving up
I'm gonna carry on
Living for love
I'm living for love
Not gonna stop
Love's gonna lift me up
(Love, lift me up)
Love's gonna lift me up
(Love, lift me up)
Love's gonna lift me up
Love's gonna lift me up
Love, love lift me
Love, love lift me
God forgive me
I'm gonna carry on

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
When you lived inside of me
There was nothing i could conceive
That you wouldn't do for me
Trouble seemed so far away
You changed that right away, baby
(chorus)
Love don't live here anymore
Just emptiness and memories
Of what we had before
You went away
Found another place to stay, another home
(chorus)
In the windmills of my eyes
Everyone can see the loneliness inside me
Why'd ya have to go away
Don't you know i miss you so and need your love
Never forget who you are
Little star
Never forget how to dream
Butterfly
God gave a present to me
Made of flesh and bones
My life, my soul
You make my spirit whole
Never forget who you are
Little star
Shining brighter than all the stars in the sky
Never forget how to dream
Butterfly
Never forget where you come from
From love
You are a treasure to me
You are my star
You breathe new life
Into my broken heart
Never forget who you are
Little star
Never forget how to dream
Butterfly
May the angels protect you
And sadness forget you
Little star
There's no reason to weep
Lay your head down to sleep
Little star
May goodness surround you
My love I have found you
Little star
Shining bright
You breathe new life
Into my broken heart
Never forget who you are
(Whispered:) Little star
Shining brighter than all the stars in the sky
Never forget how to dream

Flying higher than all the birds in the sky
Never forget who you are

Never forget where you come from
From love

I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
Chorus:
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once, I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can't take that from me
(chorus)
Chorus 2:
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again
If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know
You can call me a sinner
But you can’t call me a saint
Celebrate me for who I am
Dislike me for what I ain’t
Put me up on a pedestal
Or drag me down in the dirt
Sticks and stones will break my bones
But your names will never hurt
I’ll be the garden, you’ll be the snake
All of my fruit is yours to take
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow
Because
This is who I am
You can like it or not
You can love me or leave me
Cause I’m never gonna stop, no no
Cleopatra had her way
Matahari too
Whether they were good or bad
Is strictly up to you
Life is a paradox
And it doesn’t make much sense
You can't have the femme without the fatale
Please don’t take offense
Don’t let the fruit rot under the vine
Fill up your cup and let’s drink the wine
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow
Because
This is who I am
You can like it or not
You can love me or leave me
Cause I’m never gonna stop, no no, you know
This is who I am
You can like it or not
You can love me or leave me
Cause I’m never gonna stop, no no, you know
No no, you know
No no, you know
No no, you know
No no, you know
I’ll be the garden, you’ll be the snake
All of my fruit is yours to take
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home
Chorus:
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, i wanna take you there
In the midnight hour i can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know i'll take you there
I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, i hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, oh god i think i'm falling
Out of the sky, i close my eyes
Heaven help me
(chorus)
Like a child you whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now i'm dancing
It's like a dream, no end and no beginning
You're here with me, it's like a dream
Let the choir sing
(chorus)
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer, i'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song
A young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
Chorus:
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
"Te dijo te amo"
I prayed that the days would last
They went so fast
(chorus)
I want to be where the sun warms the sky
When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
(chorus twice)
La la la la la la la
"Te dijo te amo"
La la la la la la la
"El dijo que te ama"
Ba ba da ba ba ba ba
La Isla Bonita
Spanish Lullaby
The choice was mine and mine completely,
I could have any prize that i desired
I could burn with the splendor of the brightest fire
Or else, or else I could choose time
Remember, i was very young then
and a year was forever and a day
So what use would sixty, seventy be?
I saw the lights and I was on my way
And how I lived
How they shone.
but how soon the lights were gone.
(dies)
Che (Antonio): The choice was yours and no one elses
you can cry for a body in despair
hang your head
because she is no longer there
to shine,
dazzle,
or betray
And how she lived
how she shone
but how soon her lights were gone.
Some Men: Eyes hair face image
All must be preserved
Still life displayes for Eva.
No less than she deserves!
