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
Till ther

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
Love, love lift me

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
