Love is strange
Lots of people take it for a game
Once you get it you never want to quit
After you've had it
You say love, love is strange
Is better than a kiss
When you leave me
Sweet kisses are a miss

Hey, you sexy thing
How do call your love girl?
I say love girl
And if she doesn't answer
I say you'd better come here love girl
And if she still doesn't answer
Well then it is
Baby love is strange, baby, baby ...
You are the one

Tell me something
How do you call your love boy?
I say come here love boy
Oh, but if he doesn't answer
I say, Ah come here love boy
But what if he still doesn't answer
I simply say, Baby, oh my baby
Come here like that 
You're the one

What do you call your love girl, my sweet baby
How do you call your lover boy
You know all sorts of ways
Baby, my sweet baby

. . .


I am only one of those who care
Who care about the faith of love
I know there's many others just like me
I know they two ain't had enough
‘cos this heart's doin' battle on the front line
love's got no heroes in these modern times
what love needs is a defender
I am a soldier of love.

I see it in your eyes you felt the heat
There was a time when you believed
Love is the only way to make it thro'
Or be another casualty
From that heart's doin' battle on the front line
Love's got no heroes in these modern times
What love needs is a defender
I am a soldier of love.

Listen to the Rain

Early dawn, another lazy, stormy Monday morn,
Outside my ride is layin on the horn,
But I won't be torn, from your arms

Work can wait,
I call the boss and tell him I'll be late,
I've been saving for this rainy day,
What do you say we stay at home,
And make love all day long,

Chorus:

And let's just listen to the rain fall,
Music on the window pane, that's all;
Nothing ventured, nothing gained,
Just crawl back in bed,
Pull the covers overhead,
Me and you,
Like John and Yoko use to do,
Let's just listen to the rain

Life moves fast,
Let's find a way to make the moments last,
Forget the future, and forget the past,
Girl all I ask of you

Let's just listen to the rain fall,
Music on the window pane, that's all,
Nothing ventured, nothing gained;
Just crawl back in bed; pull the covers overhead
Me and you,
Like John and Yoko use to do

Let it pour, we'll hold each other let the thunder roar,
Love is never felt like this before,
And I need more of you

So let's just listen to the rain fall,
Music on the window pane, that's all,
Nothing ventured, nothing gained;
We'll crawl back in bed; pull the covers overhead
Me and you,
Like John and Yoko use to do

Just listen to the rain

If I were a painting
Captured on canvas
Alone in the portrait I would stand
And brush strokes bold
Yet soft as a whisper
The work of a feminine hand

Caught in a still life
Surrounded by shadows
OR lost in a background of blue

If I were a painting
My price would be pain
And the artist would have to be you

I imagine the colors
Would all run together
If you ever allowed me to cry
So don't paint the tears
Just let me remember me
Without you in my LIFE

It's only the frame
That holds me together
Or else I would be falling apart

If I were a painting
I wouldn't FEAR
And you wouldn't be breaking my heart

. . .


Crazy in love.

Ain't funny how time
Steals the feeling from a love affair
And there's no place to lay the blame
‘cos in any case, oh, no one cares
helplessly we just watched it fade away
neither will admit it
are we both aching to say.

We, you, I miss the days when we were crazy in love
When you were so sure of me, I had my little jealousy.
We, you, bring back the days when we were crazy in love
I wanna feel that way again, remember when we were crazy in love.

I know it used to be so easy
One touch and I was high
And I could get intoxicated
Just by looking in your eyes
Oh, baby ain't there anything we can do
‘cos I know you're missing me
as much as I've been missing you.

We, you, …

Girl, we were more than best of friends
We were crazy in love.

. . .


Woman you're the closest thing
I know, to peace on earth
You warm to what feels cold in me
And healing to what hurts.

Woman can you tell me why
I'm driven as I am
Is there something that I have
That makes you give a damn.

Be my comfort when the world
Waves me to the ground
Take me when I've lost my way
Let me know I'm found.

Be a blanket to my soul
Wrap it all around
Be a feather babe to me
And lay my body down.

Touch me with your finger tips
Give my burdens rest
Tell me not to worry so
I know that you know best.

Lady take my callused hands
And hold them in your arms
Lie against me in the dark
And show me I've come home.

Be my comfort when the world
Waves me to the ground
Take me when I've lost my way
Let me know I'm found....

One rainy afternoon at Union Station
As I sat alone and waited on my train
I overheard a lover's conversation
Laced with desperation and pain.

I heard a girl say when is your train leavin'
The schedule's blurry, something's in my eyes
I heard a boy say I'll just board it early
With a voice some lone drown out goodbye.

I thought there's so little love in the world
There's so little love in the world
With all of those millions of lonely boys and girls
Why is there so little love in the world.

I saw them walk together thro' the station
I saw the girl walk back alone her head held down
Her tremblin' lips the only indication
Of her losin' struggle not to cry...

. . .


They say love will win in the end
Hold him close and surely he'll be
What if its heartaches break you again
Walk away, baby, walk away.

It takes more than just one to provide
Why forgive him just to keep it alive
'Cause when its hurts are done, cry out this time
Just walk away, baby, walk away.

Think of me once in a while
I held this old dream, you see
And there's a path that leads to my door
And a home for a refugee.

Don't feel guilty for foolish desires
It ain't easy to drown a fierce fire
Cry will lead you to something much higher
Walk away, baby, walk away.

And darling, please, forget me not
Bring out your tears to me
'Cause through the years I never spoke out
And finally I'm begging, please.

If he cries out, love me once more
Just turn around, go on and open the door
Save your dream, score the one you adore
And walk away, baby, walk away.

Walk away, baby, walk away
Just walk away, baby, walk away...

. . .


Comin' home from work today I saw our future
And old man and his wife were holdin' hands
They were sittin' on a front porch swing like two young lovers
I waved to them as I went by then I realized
That life does not grow dimmer with the settin' of the sun
The best years of our lives still are yet to come.

In our old age love will just get better
The longer we're together, we'll grow stronger everyday
Our bodies may get weaker and our hair will turn gray
But love will never fade in our age ( love will never fade ).

One day the kids will all be grown and they'll be leavin'
And it will be like it was years ago
We'll be sittin' on the front porch swing like two young lovers
'Cause today I just saw what our future holds...

. . .


Everybody's heart is torn and tattered
Mine was not designed for giving up
'Cause all I've ever done that really matters
It's what I did for love.

So count me with the wound and the shaking
Even when I'm barely standing up
I've tried to offer more than I have taken
It's what I did for love.

What I did for love,
What I did for love
And I hope that you can see
All that love they've done for me.

And when they sit and list the reasons I've existed
I'm afraid it won't add up to very much
'Cause I've gathered all I had and gladly rested
That's what I did for love.

What I did for love,
What I did for love
And I hope that you can see
All that love they've done for me.

Some day I'll make silently surrender
This old heart has finally had enough
But I hope that I will always be remembered
For what I did for love...
