You can tell your
brother
You can tell your mother
You can tell all of your friends
I don't care where the tellin' ends
But really what I'm
gonna do
Is just between me and you
I'm gonna give
ya somethin' better than dreams
Better than dreams, better than dreams
I'm gonna give ya somethin' better than dreams
Better than dreams tonight
You can tell Sue
and Pam
You can tell Dave and Dan
You can tell people you meet
You can even tell strangers in the street
But you could just
wait and see
'Cause it's between you and me
CHORUS
You can dream about
love poets
who'll always praise your beauty
You can dream about a superman
who can make love endlessly
You can dream about men of power
who'll buy anything you please
You dream about hot love slaves
who'll do all that you command
You can dream about all kinds of things
and about some Mr. Right
But I'm gonna give ya somethin' better than dreams,
better than dreams tonight
You can tell Jill
and Jan
You can tell Phil and Sam
You can tell people you meet
You can even tell strangers in the street
But you could just
wait and see
'Cause it's between you and me

I'm tired of being
tolerated
I just want to be appreciated
We all do
The life I live seems incredibly thin
The things I do are not enough to
fit all the emotion in
And it could get
better
Yes it could get better
But it hasn't, oh no it hasn't
No it hasn't for a long, long time
I don't want your
condescension
I just want your full attention
We all do
Something new needs to begin
'Cause the lives we lead are not enough to
fit all the emotion in
CHORUS
I don't like intimidation
I treat your’s like an irritation
We all do
There's more to this than what ya win
And you need to find a better way to
fit all the emotion in

Somewhere on the inside
we know what’s good for us
But we keep on doin’ things that hurt us oh so much
So often callin’ it pleasure or callin’ it progress
We’re makin’ of our lives such a twisted mess
Time drags on, no
one can help
When you’re
workin’
against yourself
When you’re workin’ against yourself
When you’re workin’ against yourself
When you’re workin’ against yourself
You’re afraid
if you climb high, you’ll just fall farther down
That if you ever let it out then it won’t be your sound
You eat, drink, you smoke too much in attempt to hide
But see the one you’re hidin’ from is really on your side
You make your pain
and ruin your health
CHORUS
Complex tortures you’re
inventing just for yourselt
Tortures that you wouldn’t wish upon somebody else
You say you’re goin’ for it, that you really wanta grow
Even if you tell no one, you live a lie you know
You spend your life
stuck on a shelf

I go with the shadows
drinkin'
Out in the dark I'm sneakin'
While you're home in bed I'm creepin'
While you're makin' love I'm peepin'
But I can't touch
you now
I am just a shadow man
You can't touch me now
I am just a shadow man
Oh life take me back,
take me back
Oh life take me back
You turn around to
find me
But I've slipped off down the alley
The old disappearing act
You feel when we touch no contact
I lost my mind, my
body
I lost the best that was me
Out like a light I'm so gone
You even forget I was on
CHORUS
I go with the shadows
drinkin'
Out in the dark I'm sneakin'
While you're home in bed I'm
creepin'
Crawl into your dreams while
you're sleepin'
I crawl in to your dreams
And I am you're nightmare
You'd better watch
out
You'd better watch out
You'd better watch out
You might lose your soul in the
shadow
You'd better watch out
You'd better watch out
You'd better watch out
You'd better watch out you
might end up like me
And I'm just a shadow man
Now I'm just a shadow man,
etc.
Oh life take me
back,
take me back
Oh life take me back

I fell in love it
felt so good
Even better than I thought it could
But she left me broken hearted
Now I'm worse off than when we started
I want that feeling to start again
But I don't want it to ever end
Real love is too much pain
It makes me sad, drives me insane
I want a drug to
make me feel like I'm in love
I want a drug to make me feel like I'm in love
I want love without heart break
I want love without this burnin' ache
Someday we'll fit
love in a little white pill
And we'll turn it on and off at will
We won't have to deal with the mystery
We'll do it all with chemistry
I'd rather have it kind of fake
Than have my heart again at stake
Sex is messy, so's bein' lovesick
All I need's the feelin' when I want it
CHORUS
Give me somethin'
cheap that I can buy
Somethin' that will always get me high
I want a drug to make me feel like I'm in love
I want to feel like I'm in love
I want to feel like I'm in love
I want to feel, I want to feel
I want to feel like I'm in love

Maybe baby don't like
the way you doin' it'
the way you doin' it, the way you doin' it
Maybe baby don't like the way you doin' it
Lahtin dotin dotin
dotin dotin dotin dayo
You say you got to
work, you got to do it
You say you make all the time you can
But you should always take the time for love
Makes you feel better every woman and man
Maybe baby don't
like the way you doin' it
You took her love now you're not around
Maybe baby don't like the way you doin' it
By the time you get home you're all run down
Maybe baby don't
like the way you doin' it'
the way you doin' it, the way you doin' it
Maybe baby don't like the way you doin' it
Lahtin dotin dotin dotin dotin dotin dayo
You say you're in
love, yes you believe it
But you make it rough when she needs it smooth
You always please yourself but you don't listen
Now there's somethin' more that you got to prove
CHORUS
Baby baby baby I’ll
make it alright now
Please believe me baby I’ll make alright now
Please don’t leave me baby I’ll make it alright now
It’s for sure not maybe I’ll make it alright now
Lahtin dotin dotin dotin dotin dotin dayo, etc.

lyrics
When the revolution
comes
to smash down your door
Then it won't be
a whisper no more
It's good to start
talkin'
but don't stop there
You can change your world
only if you dare

Maybe I'm just another
hooker
talkin' to another john
But there's somethin' special about you
and I think we could really get it on
Like all the others you came here
just to buy you a little sex
But you laid me down sweetly,
you were gentle when we did it
Now I got somethin'
to tell you,
(not sell you)
there's somethin' for you with me
(take a look and see)
You can come back for free
'cause I like you
You can come back for free
if you want to
You can come back for free
Now I can teach about
pleasure,
how to make both of our's more
There's a thing or two that I've learned
out here workin' as a whore
And I won't poke at you with questions
about the rest of your life
You don't ever have to tell me
whether you've got a wife
CHORUS
Probably someone's
told you
prostitutes don't deserve respect
But you were nice though nervous
and ya treated me decent
Ya can learn a lot about people
doin' this kind of work
And I can tell you're not the kind
would wanna make a woman hurt
CHORUS
Now I ain't talkin'
'bout marriage,
not 'bout makin' a permanent pair
I just want some of that sweetness
that everyone wants to share
I can tell you got some love,
maybe no one's discovered
And I'm just sayin' I got the time
for a sometimes lover

You're the one walkin'
on the beach
You're the one walkin' on the streets
You're the one walkin' on the mountain
You're the one I wanta walk with in the sun
Keep on ridin'. keep
on ridin'
Ride the waves, the waves that don't get tired
Keep on comin', keep on comin'
Keep on comin' like the waves of the sea
Real love is a permanent
wave
It's a wave, a wave of sweet wet fire
keep on comin', keep on comin'
Keep on comin' with your love to me
Keep on dancin’,
keep on dancin'
Keep on, keep on your sweet romancin'
Keep on, keep on and on and on
Keep on rockin’, keep on rockin’
Rock me, rock me like a wave, etc.
