Cher Album

Don't you know
So many things, they come and go
Like your words that once rang true
Just like the love I thought I found in you
And I remember the thunder
Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
But you walked away, when I needed you most

CHORUS
Now, maybe baby, maybe baby
I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feelin' since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Dry your eyes
I never could bear to see you cry
Some day your love will shine through
And show you the feelings that ya never really knew
But baby don't ya loose that thunder
Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
You're lookin' at me, but you still don't believe

CHORUS

Too long on the border line
Wondering if your love was really mine
But you left me with open eyes
And when I realized

CHORUS

Somebody, somewhere turns off the lights
Somebody all alone faces the night
You got to be strong
When you're out on your own
'Cause sooner or later
We all sleep alone

Nobody, nowhere holds the key to your heart
When love's a possession it'll tear you apart
You may have lovers wherever you roam
But sooner or later
We all sleep alone

The young and the young at heart waits
But the wait never ends in the soul
When you feel like it's all blown away
Independence has come
And into the night I go

Don't make no promises
That I can't keep
Won't be no prisoner
Of somebody's need
Well you may have lovers
Wherever you roam
But sooner or later
We all sleep alone

And I know, and I know
How you feel
What you're thinking
What you're saying to me
Cause we all sleep alone

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down

Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang

Now he's gone I don't know why
And 'til this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

You're my main man
When you call my heart goes sailin'
My feet refuse to touch the ground
When you come around
You're my main man
That's what the neighborhood's been sayin'
Even Mother knows your name
I'll take your love and never be the same

CHORUS:
Oh, you're my main man
I am your only woman
Oh you're my main man
Forever

You're my main man
Paid the gypsy to keep prayin'
I'll keep a candle lit for love
And watch the street
For you from up above

Chorus

You're my main man
When you call my heart goes sailin'
I'll keep a candle lit for love
And watch the street
For you from up above

Chorus

So you wanna throw our love away
So you think we oughta say goodbye
And you tell me we've run out of time
Can't make a heart stop on a dime

You could always walk away
Like you never saw my face
If you wanted to

You could tell yourself a lie
Say this love ain't worth a try
But you know it isn't true

You heart is tellin' you!

Whoa...
We gotta take a stand
Give our love a fightin' chance
We can talk it over baby
Woman to man
Give our love a fightin' chance
A fightin' chance

So you think you'll wish it all away
Click your heels and leave it all behind
But don't you know that in the real world
You gotta fight to keep love alive

There's a battle to be won
And if both our hearts are strong
We can make it through

So don't turn your back and run
'Cause your heart's under the gun
It's a case of do or die

Break down the walls of pride!

Whoa...
We gotta take a stand
Give our love a fightin' chance
We can talk it over baby
Woman to man
Give our love a fightin' chance
A fightin' chance

Whoa...
A fightin' chance for our love

There's a battle to be won
And if both our hearts are strong
We can make it through

You could tell yourself a lie
Say this love ain't worth a try
But you know it isn't true

Whoa...
You gotta take a stand
Give our love a fightin' chance
We can talk it over baby
Woman to man
Give our love a fightin' chance

Whoa...
We gotta take a stand
Give our love a fightin' chance
We can talk it over baby
Woman to man
Give our love a fightin' chance
Give our love a fightin' chance
Give our love a fightin' chance

Hush little baby, gotta be strong
'Cause in this world we are born to fight
Be the best prove them wrong
A winner's work is never done
Reach the top number one
Perfection¡­

Oh perfection
You drive me crazy with perfection
I've worn my pride as my perfection
Perfection¡­.oh!

I was taught to be tough
That the best that you can be ain't enough
Crack the whip, sacrifice
But I found out paradise had a price
I didn't know it then
But oh I know it now
You gotta work as hard at love
To make the love work out
You know this heart of mine
Had made some big mistakes
I guess that when it comes to love
I just don't know what it takes¡­

CHORUS:
All my life I've been driven by perfection
Pushed it to the limit every day and night
Whoa¡­I've been driven by perfection
But nothin's perfect when love ain't right
Nothin's perfect when love ain't right

Gave it all played my part
I gave everything I had but my heart
Worked so hard made a name
But the loneliness inside stays the same
When love is here to today
And then it's gone today
You got a list of lovers like a resume'
You gotta take some times
To make it something real
I guess that when it comes to love
I just don't know how to feel

Chorus repeat

Oh perfection
You drive me crazy with perfection
I've worn my pride as my perfection
I'm goin' crazy with perfection

I don't know if it's in my mind
Watching all the shadows behind me
Cause I could get hurt
Or maybe this time
The cloud has got a silver lining
And if I'm scared, I got a right to be
I know, you could wound me critically

CHORUS:
These are dangerous times
And if I take some chances
Put my heart on the line
What would you do to me
If I give myself up
To these circumstances
In these dangerous times
Would you keep me safely

Over the hill, there's an army of fools
Waiting for their hearts to be broken
How do I know
If I'm gonna explode
When I come out in the open
'Cause even lovers can turn into enemies
I don't wanna be a casualty

These are dangerous times
And if I take some chances
Put my heart on the line
What would you do to me
If I give myself up
To these circumstances
In these dangerous times
Would you keep me
Would you keep me

Baby would you keep me safely tonight
Can I trust you with all of my affections?
Can I trust you to be on my side?
In these dangerous times

Chorus x 2

You came on to me a house of fire
One look was all it took for my desire
I'm still burnin'
It's the middle of the night
I need something
That can make me feel alright as I go

CHORUS:
Skin deep-to the bone
Every time I see your face
Skin deep-to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble
S.O.S
I'm in distress-tonight

Knock knock in the dark-what will I find
Your eyes-hypnotize-but can they read my mind
Watch your step now
We're gettin' closer to the edge
This is dangerous
And all the lights are flashing red as I go

CHORUS:
Skin deep-to the bone
Every time I see your face I go
Skin deep-to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble
Skin deep-to the bone
Every time I hear your voice I go
Skin deep-to the bone
Tellin' me that I'm in trouble
Too far gone
Can't hold on-tonight-not tonight

I'm still burnin'
It's the middle of the night
I need someone
Who can make me feel alright as I go

Chorus (part of both)

Come Monday morning
You see her waitin'
On the street for her ride
In an hour she'll be working
In a tower made of steel in the sky
She's just a pawn in the struggle
In a never-ending fight to survive
Mama had to play someone else's game
You learn to keep it inside

CHORUS:
Working girl, livin' in a man's world
Working girl, you gotta take a stand girl

The boss checks out her body
She's on the phone tellin' his lies
Run and get the coffee
And a smile hides the rage in her eyes
Tonight she's searching for a reason
As she's walking home alone in the rain
Mama had to play someone else's game
Someday she's breakin' the chain

Chorus

Nobody knows the dreams
She dares to dream
The plans she had made
Or the times she has prayed inside
Or what tears at her pride

Chorus

For the first time, in such a long time
I've been feelin' there's some reason
To hold on through the night
And for the first time since
You broke this heart of mine
I find myself believin'
It's really gonna be alright
Now you're askin' me to let
You walk back into my life
Something I can't bring myself to do

CHORUS:
'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you
You kept me holdin' on till the end
Oh it's been hard enough getting' over you
I don't think that I could say goodbye again

I could trust you, but it's out of my hands
I once believed your promises
Believed in every word you said
I still love you but my heart won't take the chance
That all the pain I've left behind me
Might be waiting for me up ahead
Just remember it was you
Who walked right out of my life
No you don't know what I've been through

Chorus

I made a promise to myself
And this one I'm not gonna break
I've made it without you
And I'm not about to
Turn around and make the same mistake

Chorus

'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you
You kept me holdin' on till the end
Oh, it's been hard enough gettin' over you
I don't think that I could say goodbye
I don't think I could say goodbye
I know that I can't say goodbye again
