TRANSATLANTIC
DESPERATE HEART
LOVE RUSTS
IT'S NOT OVER ('TILL IT'S OVER)


NOTHING'S GONNA STOP US NOW

Looking in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I've found
Is too good to be true
Standing here beside you
Want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you

Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that
Put your hand in my hand baby
Don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart

Chorus:
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now

I'm so glad I found you
I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes I will stay here with you
Take it to the good times
See it through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do

Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know
Put your arms around me baby
Don't ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart

And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us

Ooh, all that I need is you
All that I ever need
And all that I want to do
Is hold you forever, ever and ever, hey

(Guitar solo)

And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us, whoa
Nothing's gonna stop us now, oh no

Hey baby, I know, hey baby, nothing's gonna stop us
Hey baby, woo, nothing, hey baby
Nothing's gonna stop us now yeah


SARA

Go now, don't look back, we've drawn the line
Move on, it's no good to go back in time

I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true

Chorus:
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes

Danger in the game when the stakes are high
Branded, my heart was branded while my senses stood by

I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true

Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes

('Cos Sara) Loved me like no one has ever loved me before
(And Sara) Hurt me, no one could ever hurt me more
(And Sara) Sara, nobody loved me anymore

(Guitar solo)

I'll never find another girl like you
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true

Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh

Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes

Sara, Sara, -- storms -- are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, no
Ooh Sara, why did it, why did it, why did it all fall apart
Sara, Sara...


IT'S NOT ENOUGH

If you want my love tell me 'bout tomorrow
Cause I can't wait one more day
Cold in the night waiting for a promise
So all alone I'm hanging on

Woman don't play this game
You'll never get my lovin this way
All this time you've been livin' for the moment
It works for some, but not for me no

Chorus:
It's not enough, to tell me you love me
It's not enough, to tell me that you care (Yeah)
It's not enough, to tell me you want me
Darlin' you know deep inside
If you want my love, then girl you must show me
(Not enough) Oh show me girl

We can make it last if we hold on till tomorrow
Or will we throw it away
Empty words you say you want to please me
But half a heart won't make it right

It's not enough to tell me you love me
It's not enough to tell me that you cried (Yeah)
It's not enough to tell me you're sorry
Darlin' you know deep inside
If you want my love, then girl you must show me
(Not enough)

(Guitar solo)

Empty words you say you want to please me
But half a heart won't make it right no

It's not enough to tell me you love me
It's not enough to tell me that you care (Yeah)
It's not enough to tell me you want me
Darlin' you know
Not enough to tell me you need me
It's not enough to tell me that you cried (Yeah)
It's not enough to tell me you're sorry
Darlin' you know deep inside
It's just not enough (Not enough)

Oh, if you really wanna know girl (Not enough)
What it takes if you want my love...


I DIDN'T MEAN TO STAY ALL NIGHT

My love is drifting in a sweet dream
And my heart is beatin' like a drum
And my words don't make a sound
And I'm dancin' but my feet ain't on the ground

Chorus:
I am flyin', forever within your arms
Oh I'm flyin', forever within your heart, I am flyin'
I didn't mean to stay all night, oh no, but baby you hold so tight
I didn't mean to turn you loose, oh no, but baby you won't refuse
I didn't mean to turn you on, oh no, it's heaven it can't be wrong
I didn't mean to stay all night

My thoughts are runnin' in a race
And my mind is slippin' into space
Cause your world is all around
So I'm dancing but my feet ain't on the ground

I am flyin', forever within your arms
Oh I'm flyin', forever within your heart, I am flyin'
I didn't mean to stay all night, oh no, but baby you hold so tight
I didn't mean to turn you loose, oh no, but baby you won't refuse
I didn't mean to turn you on, oh no, it's heaven it can't be wrong

(Guitar solo)

I am flyin', forever within your arms
Oh I'm flyin', forever within your heart

I didn't mean - I didn't mean to make you stay, oh but baby you got your way
I didn't mean - I didn't mean to fool around, but baby you held me down

I didn't mean to stay all night
I didn't mean - I didn't mean to make you stay - oh no
I didn't mean to let you get your way
I didn't mean - I didn't mean to fool around - oh no
I didn't mean to let you hold me down
I didn't mean - to turn you on baby - oh no
To make you fall in love, I didn't mean
I didn't mean - to turn you loose honey - oh no
But you just can't refuse, and I didn't mean
I didn't mean - to stay all night, oh no, but you won't let go
I didn't mean - I didn't mean to make you stay - oh no
I didn't mean to let you get your way
I didn't mean - I didn't mean to fool around - oh no...


BEAT PATROL

Chorus:
Heaven move me, move my soul
Here comes the beat
Here comes the beat patrol
We will dance...

I will help you if I can
I can change the way you feel today
When your world turns upside down
It's time to make the break and dance into another day

And as the music starts to move you
Then it's time to go
Into the streets you dance
And then you lose control

Heaven move me, move my soul
Here comes the beat
Here comes the beat patrol
We will dance, we will dance
Heaven move me, move my soul
Here comes the beat
Here comes the beat patrol
We will dance, we will dance

This is the age when you must win
Cos there is no gold upon the streets today
You must find it from within
Music brings the dream machine your way

And as the feeling starts to move you
Then it's time to go
Into the streets you dance
And then you lose control

Heaven move me, move my soul
Here comes the beat
Here comes the beat patrol
We will dance, we will dance
Heaven move me, move my soul
Here comes the beat
Here comes the beat patrol
We will dance, we will dance

A say yeah, a say yeah, yeah, yeah
What you say here come the what
Here come the beat, here come the beat patrol
Here come the beat we will dance

Heaven move me, move my soul
Here comes the beat
Here comes the beat patrol
We will dance, we will dance

Heaven move me... I see it coming... it won't be long now
Here come the beat, here come the beat patrol
We will dance, we will dance
(Heaven move me move my soul
Here comes the beat, here comes the beat patrol)...


I'LL BE THERE

People need their reasons
Reasons to live and reasons to die
Just something to believe in
Whatever it takes to get through the night
When the road just leads to nowhere
And your faith can't follow through
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you

Black is black and white is white
And the blues are sometimes gray
When you hurt and you don't know why
And your tears won't go away
There's a rainbow out there somewhere
And one thing is always true
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you

Chorus:
I'll be there for you, when hope seems thin and your chances are few
I'll be there for you, I'll share the pain and be someone to hold
And there's so much more I can do, I'll be there for you

We could talk forever
There's reasons to stay and reasons to go
But while we're here together
I might as well make my intentions known
There's a light that shines in my window
It's a place you can run back to
And I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you, when hope seems thin and your chances are few
I'll be there for you, when the outside world turns your inside cold
And no one will tell you the truth, I'll be there for you

And if the day should come in this lifetime (I will be there)
I hope one mornin' you'll wake up to find (I will be there)
Anyone with half a heart could see, we might cross this great divide

(Guitar solo)

When the road just leads to nowhere
And faith can't follow through
I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you, when hope seems thin and your chances are few
I'll be there for you, I'll share the pain and be someone to hold
There's so much more I can do, so much more
Baby I'll be there for you, yes I will, you know that
I will be there for you, yes I will, I will be there (I'll be there for you)
I will be there (I'll be there for you)
(I'll be there for you) Don't you worry baby
(I'll be there for you) I will, I will...


TRANSATLANTIC

3000 miles across the sea, are you waiting there for me
I'm stuck here in this state, so I must communicate
Don't know just where you are, just know that you're too far
There's only one thing I can do

Chorus:
Gonna send my love to you (Transatlantic)
Beam my message through
Gonna find your frequency (Transatlantic)
Send it E.S.P.

Thru the static in the air, I will transmit that I care
Do you read me loud and clear, yes that's my heartbeat that you hear
No phone no radio, the telegram's too slow
I'm going crazy without you

Gonna send my love to you (Transatlantic)
Beam my message through
Gonna find your frequency (Transatlantic)
Send it E.S.P.

S.O.S, in distress
Close my eyes for your reply
Do you read me
Will you reach me

Transistor tube and microchip
Won't bring me closer to your lips
Send a kiss out through the night
Like a laser beam of light
No underwater train, no supersonic rain
Is fast enough to get to you

Gonna send my love to you (Transatlantic)
Beam my message through
Gonna find your frequency (Transatlantic)

Will you
Will you read me
Send my love (Transatlantic)
I wanna know
Do you read me...


DESPERATE HEART

One night, one empty room, one man gettin' over you
One star, one lonely moon, I make a wish, I know will never come true
You call my name, and you beg me to hold you again
But the truth remains, I'm only a fool who can't help but pretend

Chorus:
It's all over but I'm holding on, I can't let go until the love is gone
It's all over but I keep holding on with a desperate heart
With my desperate heart

Some nights, I try in my mind, I see myself learning someone new
Still I know, I'm wasting my time, no one can take the place of you
So I close my eyes, I swear I feel you here by my side
But it's all only a lie, I need to believe for my heart to survive

It's all over but I'm holding on, I can't let go until the love is gone
It's all over but I keep holding on with a desperate heart
With my desperate heart, I keep holding on

(Guitar solo)

All this time I've been drowning in hopeless illusions I'm keeping inside
That someday you'll walk out of the shadows and back into my life

It's all over but I'm holding on, I can't believe your love for me is gone
It's all over but I keep holding on (With a desperate heart)
Yeah with my desperate heart, I can't let go until the love is gone
(All over but I'm holding on) I keep holding on
(All over but I'm holding on) I can't believe your love for me is gone
(All over but I keep holding on)
(All over but I'm holding on)
(All over but I keep holding on)...


LOVE RUSTS

Here I am now, somewhere on the highway
I just checked into some low-rent room
I call my service back in San Francisco
Tell my landlord, I'll be home by June

But what about me, boy, back in California
What about the blue-eyed girl you call a child
You held me for ransom, like some beautiful bandit
Going down for the third time, drowning in your life

Chorus:
Love rusts when it rains on romance
Thunder rolls in on a clear blue day
We used to shine like the eye of a diamond
But something happened, the weather changed

I should have known better, you read just like a road map
Staying in one place doesn't interest you at all
Maybe I don't move as fast as I used to
But youth is something we can't hold on too long

Love rusts when it rains on romance
Hailstones heavy on this empty heart
It crowds the window where I used to watch you
Down by the shoreline in the dark

Love rusts when it rains on romance
Thunder rolls in on a clear blue day
We used to shine like the eye of a diamond
But something happened, the weather changed

Something happened and the weather changed

Something happened, then the weather changed

Ooh, I tell you we used to shine (how love rusts)
(We used to shine, how love rusts)
We used to shine
Ooh, we used to shine, you know
(We used to shine, how love rusts, we used to shine, how love rusts)
(We used to shine, how love rusts, we used to shine, how love rusts)


IT'S NOT OVER ('TILL IT'S OVER)

Listen
We don't call the shots here
We don't make the rules
We take what we get, get what we can
And it's learning the hard way
Here on the streets
You can't build a dream, without a plan

(Passion speaks) Let them hear you speak
(Play for keeps) They play to win, we play for keeps

Chorus:
It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we get it right

The odds are against us
They say we don't stand a chance
But there's no giving up, no giving in
When push comes to shove
You got to fight for what you love
You do what you must, do what you can

(Passion speaks) Let them hear you speak
(Play for keeps) They play to win, we play for keeps

It's not over 'til it's over (It's not over)
It's not over 'til we get it right
It's not over 'til it's over (Don't go giving in)
It's not over 'til we get it right

The odds are against us
But you know we still stand a chance
But there's no giving up, no giving in
It's not over

It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we, 'til we, 'til we get it right
It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we, 'til we, 'til we get it right
It's not over 'til it's over
Don't go giving in now
