Labour Of Love
"Bizarre Love Triangle"
Every time I think of you
I get a shot right through
Into a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living the life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
And every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You say the words that I can't say
I feel fine and I feel good
I feel like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say
Every time I see you falling
I'll get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

*Baby I Love You*
If you want my lovin'
If you really do
Don't be afraid, just ask me
And you know I'm gonna give it to you
Oh I do declare (I do), wanna see ya willing
Stretch out your arms and boy you're gonna get it
'Cause I love you
Baby baby baby I love you
Now ain't no doubt about it
Baby I love you
Baby baby baby I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
If you feel you wanna kiss me
Go right ahead, I don't mind
All you got to do is snap your fingers
And I'll come runnin', I ain't lyin'
O what'cha want little boy, ya know ya got it
I'll deny myself before I see you without it
'Cause I love you
Baby baby baby I love you
Now ain't no doubt about it
Baby I love you
Baby baby baby I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Some day you might wanna run away?
Leave me standin' here and cryin'
But if it's all the same to you baby
I'm gonna stop you from sayin' goodbye
Baby I love you (baby, baby)
Baby I need ya (baby, baby)
Baby I want ya (baby, baby)
Baby I love you (baby, baby)
Don't let your neighbors tell you that I don't love you
Don't let your low down friends tell you I don't need you

"I'll Cover You"
ANGEL: Live in my house
I'll be your shelter
Just pay me back
With one thousand kisses
Be my lover I'll cover you
COLLINS: Open your door
I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage
To lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there- I'll cover you
BOTH:I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are, my love,
On life be my life
Just slip me on
I'll be your tenant
Wherever whatever I'll be your coat
ANGEL:You'll be my king
And I'll be your castle
COLLINS:No you'll be my queen
And I'll be your moat
BOTH:I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are, my love,
On life all my life
I've longed to discover
Something as true as this is
COLLINS:So with a thousand sweet kisses (ANGEL:If you're cold)
I'll cover you ( And you're lonely)
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you ( You've got one nickel only)
( With a thousand sweet kisses)
( I'll cover you)
When you're worn out
And tired( With a thousand sweet kisses)
( I'll cover you)
When your heart has expired
BOTH: Oh lover I'll cover you
Oh lover I'll cover you

Take Me Or Leave Me
MAUREEN: Every single day
I walk down the street
I hear people say,
"Baby's so sweet"
Ever since puberty
Everybody stares at me
Boys - girls
I can't can't help it baby
So be kind
Don't lose your mind
Just remember that I'm your baby
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby or leave me
A tiger in a cage
Can never see the sun
This diva needs her stage
Baby - let's have fun!
You are the one I choose
Folks'd kill to fill your shoes
You love the limelight too, baby
So be mine
Or don't waste my time
Cryin' -- "Honeybear -- are you still my baby?"
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
No way can I be what I'm not
But hey don't you want your girl hot!
Don't fight don't lose your head
Cause every night who's in your bed?
Who's in your bed, baby?
(Pouts in JOANNE's direction)
Kiss, Pookie
JOANNE: It won't work
I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make lists in my sleep
Baby what's my sin?
Never quit I follow through
I hate mess but I love you
What to do
With my impromptu baby?
So be wise
This girl satisfies
You've got a prize
But don't compromise
You're one lucky baby
Take me for what I am
MAUREEN: A control freak
JOANNE: Who I was meant to be
MAUREEN: A snob yet over-attentive
JOANNE: And if you give a damn
MAUREEN: A lovable, droll..geek
JOANNE: Take me baby or leave me
MAUREEN: And anal retentive
BOTH: That's it!
JOANNE: The straw that breaks my back
BOTH: I quit
JOANNE: Unless you take it back
BOTH: Women
MAUREEN: What is it about them?
BOTH: Can't live
With them
Or without them!
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby
Or leave me
Guess I'm leavin'
I'm gone.

"Forgive Me"
walked up the stairs,
opened your door without ringing the bell.
Walked down the hall,
into your room,
where I could smell you.
And I shouldn't be here,
without premission,
shouldn't be here.
Would you forgive me love,
if i hadn't seen your shower?
Would you forgive me love,
if i laid in your bed?
Would you forgive me love,
if a stay all afternoon?
I took off my clothes,
put on you robe,
went through your drawers,
and I found your colone.
Went down to the den,
found your cds,
and I played your Jonnie.
And I shouldn't stay long,
you might be home soon.
Shouldnt stay long.
Would you forgive me love,
if hadnt seen your shower?
Would you fogive me love,
if i laid in your bed?
Would you forgive me love,
if i stay all afternoon?
I burned your incense,
I ran a bath,
I noticed a letter that sat on your desk.
It said: "Hello love,
I love you so love,
meet me at midnight."
And oh!
It wasnt my writing,
I better go soon.
It wasn't my writing.
So you forgive me love,
if I cry in your shower.
So forgive my love,
for the salt in your bed.
So forgive me love,
if I cry all afternoon.

The Sign
"Don't Turn Around"
I will survive
Without you
If you wanna leave
I won't beg you to stay
And if you gotta go darlin'
Maybe it's better that way
I'm gonna be strong
I'm gonna be fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
Just walk out the door
See if I care
Go on and go
But don't turn around
Cause you're gonna see my heart breakin'
Don't turn around
I don't want you seein' me cry
Just walk away
It's tearin' me apart that you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know
I won't miss your arms around me
Holding me tight
And if you ever think about me
Just know that I'll be alright
I'm gonna be strong
I'm gonna be fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
I will survive
I'll make it through
I'll even learn to live without you
But don't turn around...
I wish I could scream out loud
That I love you
I wish I could say to you don't go
As he walks away
He feels the pain gettin' strong
People in your life
They don't know what's goin' on
Too proud to turn around
He's gone
But don't turn around...
