Baby tell me what you're trying to prove 
Playing games with my heart 
Hey now listen, I ain't gonna take one more night 
You're the one who broke the rules 
And I'm the one who played the fool 
Now you're trying to tell me it's alright 
You should know better than to hurt a friend 
You'll never get another chance again 

You'll be back where you started 
I know you won't admit it but you're broken-hearted 
Back where you started 
You think it's gonna be easy but it just gets harder, harder 

You had a way with words 
One look and I was under your spell 
I didn't know should I stay or should I run 
You can't deny you told me lies 
Love'em and leave'em baby, that's your style 
I'm not affraid to take life as it comes 
You play with fire I guess you'll never learn 
You mess with me babe, you 're gonna get burned 

You'll be back where you started 
I know how it feels when you've been discarded 
Back where you started 
You think you got it made but it won't get you far, no it won't get you far 

Who's gonna help ya, throw you a lifetime 
I'll tell you one thing, you've really done it this time 
You took your one chance and let it slip away

You don't know girl how you blow my mind
I said now
Baby won't you hear what I say
I want your lovin' in the worst darn way so come on
Baby let's get it on!
Well you're the finest girl I ever found in my life
I wanna stick to you like white on white so come on
Baby let's get it on
Now I said now:
Baby
Baby
Baby
Get it on!
You know that I've been waiting too doggone long
So come on
Baby let's get it on!
Now you don't want me enough for me to turn me on
Come on
Baby
What you're waitin' on? Come on
Baby
Baby
Baby
Get it on!
Now you're the finest girl just as fine as can be
I want ev'ry joy for you and me so come on
Baby let's get it on.

Now I said now ...

oh i’m waiting in the storm ask me how i feel
when things are going wrong why don’t you ask me how i feel
the night is awful cold ask me how i feel
you’re much too loose to hold why don’t you ask me how i feel

i close my eyes to follow you
to my surprise you’re so untrue
and i’m crying i’m dying

oh i’m waiting in the storm ask me how i feel
when you keep me hanging on why don’t you ask me how i feel
the waters run so deep ask me how i feel
when i don’t get any sleep why don’t you ask me how i feel

and when you’re down you lean on me
you’re a fool too blind to see
that i’m crying i’m dying

oh i’m waiting in the storm why don’t you ask me how i feel
what the hell is going on why don’t you ask me how i feel
when you stay out late at night ask me how i feel
when you think that i’m uptight why don’t you ask me how i feel oh

you don’t treat me tender no matter what i do
but i'm the great pretender woah ho ho ho

i’m waiting in the storm ask me how i feel
what the hell is going on
when you stay out late at night you never ask me how i feel
you just say that i'm uptight
when you're down i do for you
and now i find that you're untrue

don't walk crowded streets
choose every dream from a magazine stand
i don't buy into that
all day tv shows
sell their souls just to make living easy
i don't buy into that
i don't need satin and lace no no no
i'll bring a smile to your face

i'll never be a fire but i will be the flame
i'll never be a diamond but i'll never be fake
no i've never been a winner but i still play the game
can't you see this is me
i'm all the woman that i wanna be
good times can't get enough
life can be tough but it's all for a reason
i sure buy into that
life goes around and around
we seek what we found 'cause it's all an illusion
i sure buy into that
i know the waters of fate
will keep on flowing my way

i'll never be a fire but i will be the flame
i'll never be a diamond but i'll never be fake no no
i've never been a winner but i still play the game
baby can't you see this is me
i'm all the woman that i want
i've never been afraid of myself
i don't buy into that i don't buy into that
i don't wanna be nobody else i don't buy into that i don't buy into that i don't buy into that

i'll never be a fire but i will be the flame be the flame
i'll never be a diamond but i'll never be fake oh no no no
i've never been a winner but i still play the game
baby baby can't you see that this is me i'm all the woman that i want all i wanna be
i'll never be a fire but i will be the flame be the flame
i'll never be a diamond but i'll never be fake oh no no no
i've never been a winner but i still play the game
can't you see this is me
and i'm all the woman that i wanna be

There's a time for love and a time for healing
Can't go back and undo what's been done
The word of mouth, time is revealing
Just how far we've left this kingdom come
Hand in hand we're finding our way
And today is just tommorrow's yesterday

Some will die for you, some will lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Turn the world around, tear the borders down
There's all kinds of people in this world

Kiss of life and the hand of fate
Boy grows up into his father's son
And he learns to love, has been taught to hate
To carry on the way it had been done
All our lives, it's debts to repay
Maybe someday we can put the past away

Some will die for you, some will lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Turn the world around, tear the borders down
There's all kinds of people in this world
Some will die for you, some will lie to you
There's all kinds of people in this world
Put your fear away, find a better way
There's all kinds of people in this world

Underneath a broken sky
Love can heal the pain inside
In a moment things can change
One look behind and it's never the same

I need you here beside me to chase the night away 
I need your love to guide me safe through another day 
I lie and watch the lights go down 
Say goodnight to another town 
And though it hurts to be alone 
I have my thoughts of you to keep me warm 

In the afterglow of your love 
Dreamings all I'm guilty of 
Everyday I'm playing tough 
But read my mind 

If you could see me now 
Just living my life in a limbo 
If you could see me now 
The me that only you would know 
Still burning in the afterglow 

When the beat of the drum has faded 
The show comes to an and 
The stage is clear and loaded 
And the highway calls again 
I stand and watch the lights go down 

In the afterglow of your love 
Dreamings all I'm guilty of 
Everyday I'm playing tough 
But read my mind 

If you could see me now 
Just living my life in a limbo 
If you could see me now 
The me that only you would know 
Still burning in the afterglow 

Stay with me right to the end 
Till I can hold you again

The lights are on but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your body sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can't eat, you can't sleep
There's no doubt you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need

You like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth, you know
You're gonna have to face it
You might as well face it, you're addicted to love

You see the signs but you can't read
You're running at a different speed
Your heart beats at double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine
One-track mind, you can't be saved
Another young love is all you crave
And if the sun left you
You don't mind if you do

You like to think that you're immune to the stuff oh yeah
It's closer to the truth, you see
You're gonna have to face it
You're gonna have to face that you're addicted to love

You might as well face it, you're addicted to love

If your child ain't all he should be now
This girl will put him right
I'll show him what he could be now
Just give me one night
I'm the Gypsy - The acid Queen
Pay before we start
I'm the Gypsy - The acid queen
I'll tear your soul apart
Give us a room and close the door
Leave us for a while
Your boy won't be a boy no more
Young, but not a child
I'm the Gypsy - The acid queen
Pay before we start
I'm the Gypsy - The acid queen
I'll tear your soul apart
Gather your wits and hold on fast
Your mind must learn to roam
Just as the Gypsy Queen must do
You're gonna hit the road
My work is done now look at him
He's never been more alive
His head it shakes his fingers clutch
Watch his body writhe
I'm the Gypsy - The acid queen
Pay before we start
I'm the Gypsy - I'm guaranteed
To break your little heart

absolutely nothing's changed
this is my heart talking
it's time to face reality
this spell i'm under can't last much longer
any fool can see
you come here with your promises
but i remember all the lies
i bought the laughter happy ever after
how could i be so blind so blind
chorus
'cause absolutely nothing's changed
you play with my emotions
i'll live to fight another day
i m bruised but i ain t broken i ain't broken

now you say you're sorry
for everything you put me through
you wanna make up i just gotta wake up
it's the same old you
the same old you

chorus
'cause absolutely nothing's changed
you play with my emotions
i'll live to fight another day
i'm bruised but i ain't broken ain't broken

ooh i've been dreaming but it's over now bad dreams are over now
i'm gonna rise up rise above all the troubles and tears i'm down but i ain't out
play with my emotions i maybe bruised i ain't broken
'cause absolutely nothing's changed
at last my eyes are open
i'm gonna live to fight another day
i maybe bruised but i ain t broken ain't broken
'cause absolutely nothing's changed
absolutely nothing
i'll live to fight another day
i maybe bruised but i ain t broken
'cause absolutely nothing's changed
abolutely nothing
i'm gonna live to fight another day i maybe bruised but i ain t broken
'cause absolutely nothing's changed

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh, and like that river i've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

It's been too hard living and i'm affraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

I go to the movies and i go around in town
Everybody there keeps telling me "don't hang around"
It's been a long, a long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is

Then i go to my brother
And i say "brother, please"
But he just winds up, knocking me
Back down on my knees

Sometimes i thought i wouldn't last for long
But now i think i'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But i know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it is
