Lovers Speak (Radio Edit)
. . .


When they whisper in the corner
When they're running in the rain
When they're holding hands and laughing
Tell me what they're really saying

Lovers speak is so much different
Only they can understand
Let's all share this coded secret
Let us in let's all join hands
Lovers walk a different tight rope
Lovers always speak in tongues

I wanna learn the language of love
I wanna learn how to flirt
I wanna hear someone call out my name
And wipe away all the hurt

When they're reckless with abandon
Nothing can get in their way
There's no natural disaster
Could dull their senses
Stop their play

Lover's world is so much different
Make me a native of that land
Let's all share this special feeling
That lifts you up beyond the heavens
Lovers walk a looser tight rope
With feathers thrown upon the ground

I wanna count all those blessings I'll get
When I gaze on that face
Who'll glamorize all my fantasies more
I tell you now I can't wait

I wanna learn the language of love
I wanna learn how to flirt
I wanna hear someone call out my name
And wipe away all the hurt

Lovers speaking
Lovers speaking
Everyone will listen
Everyone will listen
Everyone wants to learn

They wanna learn the language of love
They wanna learn how to flirt
They wanna hear someone call out their name
And wipe away all the hurt

I wanna learn lovers speak
I wanna learn lovers speak

I wanna learn the language of love
I wanna learn how to flirt
I wanna hear someone call out my name
And wipe away all the hurt

I wanna learn the language of love
I wanna learn how to flirt
I wanna hear someone call out my name
And wipe away all the hurt

. . .


It's a physical pain
My head just aches
I'm feeling raw
I feel crucified
I don't feel great

I'm gonna lick my wounds
Hide my crying eyes
It's my own fault
I told you lies

No touch sensation
No palpitations
Don't lick my lips
Don't lick my lips
In anticipation

I'm traumatized
And I feel confined
I seem so unsettled
I don't feel alive

I'm gonna lick my wounds
Hide my crying eyes
It's my own fault
I told you lies

No excitations
No good vibrations
Just a physical pain
Just a physical pain

Will I ever get to see you darling
This broken friendship
Means my broken heart
Are we ever gonna get together
Will I ever see your smiling face again
Can't wait

There's too much space
These empty rooms
Time on my hands
I'm gonna lick my wounds
Hide my crying eyes
It's my own fault
I told you lies
No excitations no good vibrations it's solitaire

I feel lost
I feel alone
With no desire
I feel numb

Will I ever get to see you darling
This broken friendship
Means my broken heart
Are we ever gonna get together
Will I ever see your smiling face again
Are we ever gonna get together
Are we ever gonna get together

Will I ever get to see you darling
This broken friendship
Means my broken heart
Are we ever gonna get together
Will I ever see your smiling face again
Are we ever gonna get together
Are we ever gonna get together

. . .


These are the times
Tears fill the back of your eyes
These are the times
The birds migrate
Across the skies

These are the times
What hope you had you forget
These wicked times
You're bound to feel
All sanity is lost

In these times everyone needs love
In these times do you pray to God
In these times everyone needs comfort
And would welcome a hand to hold
Compassion is the fire
That burns the hurt
That pains the soul
And though my eyes are so polluted
By the sight of lost desires
I can see you standing by

This is my fear
That distance will come between us
And it could mean nothing
Nothing
To get from here to there

We own the world
And everything that's in it
Let our love shine
Like glistening raindrops
Resting on a rose

In these times celebrate our love
In these times let's be thankful of
All the days we can spend together
And I'm happy to hold your hand
Your passion is the food
That feeds the hunger in my heart
And now my eyes are clearly open
No more longing for the past
Now I have you in these times


In these times everyone needs love
In these times do you pray to God
In these times everyone needs comfort
And would welcome a hand to hold
Your passion is the fire
That burns the hurt
That pains the soul
And though my eyes are so polluted
By the sight of lost desires
Good to have you in these times

. . .


Eight o'clock I wake up
You didn't come to bed
I go downstairs
Try to keep my head together

At ten thirty
Look at my watch
I wonder darling

La
la la la la la
la la la la la la la

Twelve o'clock I'm really
Going out of my head
I've got ideas running round my brain
Can't go on this way

No work
Can't eat
And I do not really sleep

When I close my eyes
I hold identity parades
For the face that stole your heart

La la la
la la la la la
la la la la la la la

What time will you come back baby
Four a.m. I'll be here
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you baby

La la la
la la la la la
la la la la la la la

You're my candy God
How you sweet talk me
You're my fantasy

Six is not too early
To come back to me baby
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you baby

La la la
la la la la la
la la la la la la la
Oh

La la la
la la la la la
la la la la la la la
Oh

La la la
la la la la la
la la la la la la la
Oh

La la la
la la la la la
la la la la la la la

. . .


Some things are gonna come easy
Some things are gonna be hard
But don't let them put you off your stride
Cos you could make your mark

You're gonna get married
You're gonna be rich
Your gonna have all the things you ever wished
You're gonna be the boss
You know you're gonna pull
You could be the saviour of this wicked world

Some times you gotta be smarter
You've got to play to win the game
Don't let them make you give up
Right before you can begin

Going to the moon
Win a peace prize
Discover there's life on the other side
You're gonna get slim
Make a new friend
You can do what ever you think you can

People are gonna wanna tell you
Don't try too much
They're gonna warn you
About disappointment but

You're gonna prove yourself
You're gonna prove yourself
You're gonna prove yourself
You're gonna prove yourself

You're gonna tour the world
You're gonna write a book
You could be the one who finds life on Mars
You're gonna be happy
Listen to the voice
You can do it right
If you make that choice

To prove yourself
You're gonna prove yourself
You're gonna prove yourself
You're gonna prove yourself

You can do anything
You can do anything
You can do anything

You can do anything
You can do anything
You can do anything

And you're gonna prove yourself
You can prove yourself
You can prove yourself
You can prove yourself
You can prove yourself
You can prove yourself
You can prove yourself
You can prove yourself
And you're gonna prove yourself

. . .


I don't wanna know everything
About you
Can't love everything everything
That you do

No baby don't wanna find anybody else
Nobody could ever find another lover
Never find another lover like you
Like oil and water we don't mix
But something keeps us tied together

We fight
Fire and ice
Black is white
Night is day
That's how we treat each other

But I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you
I could never find
Loving as tempestuous

You say hot
I say cold
But oh when the fight is over
You say yes
I say yes
And we dive underneath the covers

And I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you
I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you
I don't wanna I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you

I say left
You say right
Before the night is over
I say yes
You say yes
And we dive underneath the covers

I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you
I don't wanna go anywhere
Without you

No baby don't wanna find anybody else
Never find another lover
Not another lover ever gonna make me happy
Like you make me happy
You make me happy
You make me happy

. . .


It may rain tomorrow
But tonight is all that's on my mind
My baby's here
In my arms
You know we've got it bad
Cos tonight we've got the love virus

We've both come down with the love bug
And it means we've got to stay in bed
I hope yous guys don't catch this
Cos it knocks you right off a your legs

Love bug
Talking bout love bug
I said love bug
You know I mean love bug

Let me explain the symptoms
First of all there's hardly any pain
With the love bug
You kind of lose you memory
You see
Hear
Think
Talk
Dream
Care
Just for one person
Only

Don't come down with the love bug
Cos it drives the sense
Right out of your head

This thing strikes in a curious way
It only hits when you're not looking

Don't stand close to anybody
Who'll contaminate you
If you come down with the virus
Well you'll never be alone again

We've both come down with the love bug
And it means we've got to stay in bed
I hope yous guys don't catch this
Cos it knocks you right off a your legs

Love bug
Talking bout love bug
I said love bug
You know I mean love bug
I said love bug

Talking bout love bug
Yeah love bug
You know I mean love bug
Yeah love bug
Talking bout love bug
Yeah love bug

. . .


Let's sit down
Let's have a nice long talk about us
You start

Let's go out
Let's walk down the street
We'll fool around
Walking on the kerb
Walking on the kerb

I've always wanted you
I dreamed of you at night
I couldn't see your face
But I knew you were the one
Right from the start
You treated me just the way you should

I've always wanted you
I dreamed of you at night
I couldn't see your face
But I knew you were the one
I knew you were the one

Good things happening for us all the time
Good things happening for us all the time

Everyday I get a little sunshine
Even though the day's a rainy day
Everyday you give me all your loving
And I thank you

Romance me
Sweet talk me
Send me weak at the knees
Let's dance around the room
I've always wanted you
I dreamed of you at night
I couldn't see your face
But I knew you were the one

Good things happening for us all the time
Good things happening for us all the time

Everyday I get a little sunshine
Even though the day's a rainy day
Everyday you give me all your loving
And I thank you

Good things are happening for us all the time

. . .


I've got to keep on keeping on
I just wanna be beside you
Wanna do the best I can
Even though you've made it plain
You don't believe in love
I can't let you go
I can't walk away

Come on baby can't you see
All the need in me
Like the ocean speaks to the naked man
The rhythm of your heart is like a sonnet
Pure and sweet
How you haunt my memory

Believe me baby
In this brilliant world you're the best
You're like a porcelain charm
A perfumed smile
A teenage blush
You're like champagne roses

Come on baby can't you see
All the need in me
Like the ocean speaks to the naked man

I've got to keep on keeping on
How can I live without you
I've got to make you understand
Each species has a mate
And fate says you'll be mine
I won't let you down

Come on baby can't you see
All the need in me
Like the ocean speaks to the naked man
The rhythm of your heart is like a sonnet
Pure and sweet
How you haunt my memory

I believe in angels
You leave me no alternative
You're like a butterfly
A gospel choir
A sun kissed sky
You're like sensual velvet

Believe me baby
In this brilliant world you're the best
You're like a porcelain charm
A perfumed smile
A teenage blush
You're like sunshine roses

Come on baby can't you see
All the need in me
Like the ocean speaks to the naked man

. . .


You come home after work
And the first thing that you do
Take me into your arms
And you find out how I've been
If the phone rings
Nobody answers
This is time is ours alone
We're lying peaceful in the tender trap
La la
We're lying peaceful in the tender trap
La la

I can't begin to prove how much I want you
You've got to know
That you make me feel much stronger
Than anyone has the right to
We're lying peaceful in the tender trap
La la
We're lying peaceful in the tender trap
La la

When you walk through the door from a hard day's work
And someone's there to make you forget the nine to five
When they throw their arms around you make you feel you're alive
What other heaven is there when that sweet voice says
If the phone rings nobody answers
That's when you know working all the hours that God sends pays the rent
But it don't cover all your needs you need a whole lot of love
La la
And when that love is real and makes you feel complete
Whooo
The world is right
La la

I can't begin to prove how much I want you
You've got to know
That you make me feel much stronger
Than anyone has the right to
We're lying peaceful in the tender trap
La la
We're lying peaceful in the tender trap
La la
We're lying peaceful in the tender trap
La la

. . .


Once in a while
We share a thought
But most of all we drift apart
Haven't you noticed
We seem less happy more often

And I don't know what to do
Whether to be with you
And I'm as sure as sure
I can't live without you
So what is to become of us
How do we get it back
I'm as certain as you
That I don't like it

When we embrace
The thrill is gone
But in reality we hardly touch at all
Haven't you noticed
We get more lonely
More often

And I don't know what to do
Whether to be with you
And I'm as sure as sure I'm sure
I can't live without you
So what is to become of us
Where do we go from here
I'm as upset as you
At how our love has gone

When we began
We shared a dream
And all our strength was in our unity
Haven't you noticed we seem less mighty
More helpless

I don't know what to do
I can't put the blame on you
But I can't blame myself
So it's neutral
So what is to become of us
How do we get it back
I'm as desperate as you
To be in love again

So what is to become of us
How do we get it back
I'm as desperate as you
To be in love again

. . .


I wanted you when and I want you now
And I always will
I wanted the best
And you are the best
Please don't leave

I don't want you to go
I'm a fool for you baby
I just want you to know
I'm a fool for you baby

Talked with a friend
We were up all night
We were looking at words
I searched for the ones
That would change your mind
Please

I just want you to know
I'm a fool for you baby
I just want you to know
I'm a fool for you baby
La da da da da

In this strange and troubled world
In this strange and troubled world

In this strange and troubled world
I just lost my mind
Let's clean the slate and start again
Don't leave me unforgiven

And I want you to know
My life is in your hands
I just want you to know
It's only you

I wasn't looking for someone else
And even at intimate times I felt
Like I was watching another life
In another world
In another time
And all the while my heart was crying
Crying like a little child
Cos all I wanted was you so much
But I just couldn't help myself

And I want you to know
You have the smile that I'm after
I just want you to know
I'm crazy crazy
For you
For your laughter
For your love

. . .


I say black
You say white
You do anything to be the one that's right
Go to extremes
Got to win
Still you're not happy
Just see the state you're in

You're never satisfied are you baby
Tell me what is driving you crazy
You're feeling something's wrong and you blame me
Well I just wanna say
It's your stupid mistake

I don't regret the time that we shared
But I do resent the martyr you play though
I'm the one who suffers more than my share of
All the hurt in this game
This mixed up game

Now you made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
All of the great little pleasures that you bring
Get cancelled out by the weird things you do

Not Lucifer
Not the Trinity
No one on earth can make you feel at ease
It serves me right
Cos I left you once
I broke my own rule
Because I wanted to please

But you're never satisfied are you baby
Tell me what is driving you crazy
You're feeling something strong and you blame me
Well I just wanna say
It's your stupid mistake

Now you made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
All of the great little pleasures that you bring
Get cancelled out by the weird things you do
You made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
All of the great little pleasures that you bring
Get cancelled out by the weird things you do
Get cancelled out by the weird things

I say black
You say white
You do anything to be the one that's right
But you're never satisfied
I said you're never satisfied
Something is always driving you crazy
Something is driving you crazy

You made your bed you can lie on it
You made your bed you can lie on it
You made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
You made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
All of the great little pleasures that you bring
Get cancelled out by the weird things you do

You made your bed you can lie on it baby
I won't be there next to you
All of the great little pleasures that you bring
Get cancelled out by the weird things you do

. . .


Life is hard
Work is dirty
Friends plead poverty
Fame and fortune
Keeps its own time
So don't wait up

But if you can feel the sun
If you can feel the rain
Life can't be bad
If you've got food to eat
And all your dreams to dream
Life can't be bad
If you can walk away
And fight another day
Life can't be that bad

For all the things that I can do
How could I complain
I've got no broken wings
I've got a heart that sings
And I feel blessed

. . .


When they whisper in the corner
When they're running in the rain
When they're holding hands and laughing
Tell me what they're really saying

Lovers speak is so much different
Only they can understand
Let's all share this coded secret
Let us in let's all join hands
Lovers walk a different tight rope
Lovers always speak in tongues

I wanna learn the language of love

I wanna learn lovers speak
I wanna learn lovers speak

I wanna learn the language of love
I wanna learn how to flirt
I wanna hear someone call out my name
And wipe away all the hurt

I wanna learn the language of love
I wanna learn how to flirt
I wanna hear someone call out my name
And wipe away all the hurt
