Wilson Phillips Album

Hey, do you know what's going on
Do you?
Come on, play it! Wooh!

Are you awake?
Have you anything to say?
Are you aware of what surrounds you?
And all the times you tried to please everyone
Can you admit it doesn't matter?

Ooh there's never a dull moment in my life
And I don't mind the ride
I don't mind the ride, yes
So listen

Don't live a lifeless life
When you could be living it right
Don't be one to be led (ahah)
It's a heavy world in my small world
Get up get out of bed

Ooh there's never a dull moment in my life
And I don't mind the ride

Chorus:
Don't you know it's only life
It's only life
Taking you on a constant flight
Don't you know that it's only life
There is no wrong there could be no right
Whatever you're doing
However you're doing it
You'll be living your life
Yes it's only life
So there is no wrong, no right
Ooh it's a constant flight
A constant flight

Movin' on...

Are you awake?
I don't think I have the answer
Is there no one on the other line?
No
Now it's a heavy world in my small world
But I'm feeling just fine

Ooh there's never a still moment in my life
And I don't mind the ride

(Chorus)

Life
Don't you know
Crying
It's only life, it's only life
Don't you know
Crying
It's only life, it's only life
I'm crying

(ah) (whooh)

Don't you know it's only life
Taking you on a constant flight
Don't you know that it's only life
There is no wrong there could be no right
Whatever you're doin'
However you're doing it
You'll be living your life

Don't you know it's only life
And everyone pushes to get by
We go here
We're going there
Somebody tell me why

Don't you know that it's only life
There is no wrong
There could be no right
Whatever you're doing
However you're doing
You'll be living your life

Don't you know it's only life
Don't you know it's only life...
Don't you know
Don't you know it's only life

I wish I had all you ever wanted
I'd give it right to you
But I don't have it

How could I ever find it,
The strength to let you go
'Cause I don't have it
When will I have it?

And it goes, and it goes on
And it goes on

You won't see me cry
You know I decided
That I'm gonna pull myself together
And find a way to fight it
I'm gonna have to hide it
You won't see me cry
You won't see me cry

I've got no choice but to face it
I have to let you know that I don't like it
My love is good for someone
And it may take some time
But I will find him
Why should I waste it?

When I go,
When I go on
I will go on

You won't see me cry
You know I decided
That I'm gonna pull myself together
And find a way to fight it
Even if I have to hide it
You won't see me cry
You won't see me cry
You won't see me...(oh ah uh)

I finally decided
And I found the way to fight it...

So you won't see me...cry
You won't see me cry

You can't hide it from me
Admit it baby
'Cause I'm wise to your disguise
I've seen you love me with your eyes

Even if you think I'm a fool and I just can't tell
Then you don't know me well
Won't you come over here and break the ice
It would be so nice

It's what you want when you're around me
You're a little bit shy, and I feel the need
And I can tell that you're happy you found me
Just give it up...

Chorus:
Why wait around when you know what you're feeling (give it up)
I look through your eyes
I can see that you want somebody (give it up)
It could feel so good to get into it.
Give it up! Give it up! You want it baby.
Give it up! Give it up! You know you got me.
Come on, come on, come on and give it up.

I can't, I can't lie to you
Now we can all tell stories so come over here and love me. Uh-huh
Even if you think I'm a fool and I just can't tell
Sorry I know you well.
And I know you will

Come over here and love me
It's what you want when you're around me
You're a little bit shy, and I feel the need
And I can tell that you're happy you found me
Just give it up...

(Chorus)

So dream your way into my life
'Cause baby I'll give you tonight
I'll bring all your pictures to life
Give it up! Give it up! Give it up! Give it up!
Give it up... (ooh God) Give it up... Just give it up...Give it up

Give it up! Give it up (Yeah!)
Give it up! Give it up!
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, give it up
Give it up! Won't you give it up baby tonight?

Fade

Softly, love is standing here with its demands
(Tell me what you want from me, you want from me)
Slowly, I think I'm letting go of all my plans
(Tell me where we're goin' to, we're goin' to)

Why, why am I afraid to give into this
Why am I afraid?

Chorus:
This doesn't have to be love
But it's all I can feel, it's all that I fear.
This doesn't have to be anything at all,
So hard to fall (from this high above)
But do we have to call it love?

I hold back, from everything I really want to say
(Should I let my guards down, my guards down, my guards down)
I don't, I don't make commitments that could break
(Maybe it's just too late, it's just too late)

I, I'm so afraid to give into this
I'm so afraid, Oh

(Chorus)

Need a little time to think things through, Baby
Do I really want to give myself, give all myself to you, now?
I can't believe it's happening so fast
'Cause I don't want to bring back what I left in the past, No.

(Chorus)

So hard to fall...in love
This doesn't have to be...love
(Love, love is all I feel...your love is what I fear)
Love me...love me
So hard to fall
So very hard to fall.

Fade

I'm all grown up
But somehow, it feels like I'm pretending
Visions of my younger years, they are buried
But the scenes that play inside of me, are impending
They are never ending...

Chorus:
Where, where, where, where, where are you?
You don't have to look out that window, anymore.
You can just come back to yourself, you can come back to this world.
Where are you? Tell me who heard you. And where are you?

He led me into his room, and had me lay down
My heart, and my soul, and anything else that you could own,
When you're six years old.
But now I'm older

(Chorus)

Such a quiet secret, it hurt too much trying hard to keep it.
Oh, and I looked up to you... I wanted so much to believe in you.
I wanted so much for you to believe it me.
Oh I tried, I tried.

Where, where, where, where, where are you?
You don't have to look out anymore.
I don't have to look out of that window anymore.
I can just, come back to myself, I can come back this world

Where are you? Tell me who heard you? And where are you now?
Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?
Tell me who hurt you.

If you never plan to come out of your shell, you're never gonna get well.
I understand your reasons not to.
What you don't know is what you're afraid of.
And I'm afraid of it too
But can I even talk to you again?

Oh part of me wants to call you up, and talk to you like a friend.
And there's a part of me that wants to shut you out
And never see your face again.

Chorus:
How can we be like enemies when we're only flesh and blood?
What does it take to make your heart bleed, Daddy aren't we enough?
You can get through there's nothing stopping you from getting to us
No one can take a way the fact that we're only...flesh and blood
For years I've been following your case, It's the only time I see your face
And we've learned to live without you.
Who you don't know is who you're afraid of
And we're afraid of you too
But will we ever talk to you again?

Oh part of me wants to call you up, just talk to you like a friend
There's a part of me that wants to shut you out
And never see your face again.

(Chorus)

I want to make you laugh, and I want a chance to know you better.
I want to hear you sing beside me now.
We're just like you.

(Chorus)

I want to make you laugh, I want a chance to know you better
I want to hear you sing beside me now... flesh and blood
I want to make you laugh (want to make you laugh), and I want a chance to know
you better
I want to hear you sing beside me now
I'm a part of you, and I miss you.

A song for you, for only you.

'I love you girl' that's what you used to say
And that no one would ever take it away
I gave you all I had inside, baby it's alright

But then you took the love right from my heart
It's funny how things so strong can fall apart
I gave you all I had inside, baby it's alright, ooh

One day you'll wear out the lines you always use
Why do you say that you'll change when you never do?
I've always found a reason to let it slide...baby not this time.
Ooh, because I know where you're going from here
(Don't take me down with you)

Chorus:
Don't take me down (take me down with you...)
'Cause I don't need no one and no one's ever gonna bring me down.
Don't take me down (Don't take me down with you...)
And I don't need no one and no one's ever gonna bring me down.
You had someone; you had me to love.

Why do we put up all these fronts?
There's something about the way that you loved me once.
And why, why is it wrong to want it back again?

Oh no... one day you'll wear out the lines you always use
Why do you say that you'll change when you never do?
I've always found a reason to let it slide...baby not this time.
Ooh, because I know where you're going from here
(Don't take me down with you)

(Chorus)

Too many times, I've realized the truth
(don't take me down, don't take me down)
Too many times...
I've seen enough, I've seen it enough to know
This time you're not, you're not gonna take me down
Down, down, down, down .... yeah

(Chorus)

Fade

I'm gonna ask you for something, and it may sound like a lot.
I've never really asked you for anything, no.
We've always lived so far apart

Chorus:
Would you fly all the way from New York to see me?
Could you fly all the way to stand here next to me?
I didn't think so
But here you are with me.

I was hanging on to nothing as a child.
And my brother, he used to slam into walls
Everyone called him wild
Yes it's been a while since I've had a day,
Where I don't wish away all the fear, all the fear
That's why it's so hard to ask

(Chorus)

Thank you for coming.
You'll never know what it means (ah..ah)
'Cause no one ever cared enough about you
How were you supposed to know what I need
You'll never know what it means
But thank you for coming.

(Chorus)

I missed all my calls this morning
The coffee may still be burning
I'm in a yellow taxi racing down to LAX
boy you'll be next? I can't wait.

(I'm moving around, moving around...)
I'm ready baby, ready baby, yeah
I'm moving around and I want to get down
I'm on my way

Chorus:
The jet is fueled for Houston
I'm coming for you, for you, for you
I didn't bring my enemies or my worries
I'm on my way to you

The pilot says we're climbing
I can feel the engines burning
And it won't be long 'til I get down to Texas yes
The Wild Wild West
I'm on my way.

(Movin' around) I'm ready baby, ready baby, yeah
I'm moving around and I want to get down, I moving around
I'm on my way

(Chorus)

Movin' at a real fast pace, don't wanna slow down
Movin' at a real fast pace, don't wanna slow down
Movin' at a real fast pace, don't wanna slow down, 'til I see your face.

(Movin' around) I'm ready baby, ready baby yeah
I'm moving around and I want to get down
I'm on my way...Aaaahhhh

(Chorus)

"I don't have any bags, just get me off this plane!"

And her eyes are like skies that will rain
But there's work to be done, and she does not complain
Her children are so far away
I heard you crying, I heard you pray
Now you must go, and it's so hard to say

Chorus:
Goodbye, Carmen
Thank you for staying with us for a while [With your pretty smile]
And someday you'll get home again
Goodbye, Carmen
Hasta manana or who knows when (It all depends)
Goodbye...

We're convinced our intentions are good
But we live in this world often misunderstood
Can you feel it? (Uh-huh)
I can feel it (d-doh)
And no one seems to care much, and its so hard to say

(Chorus)

Carmen...careful what you do, be careful what you see, Carmen
We will always be with you

Turn around but she's lost in the sun
There was so much to say, but she's already gone, so
Thank you Carmen, don't be afraid this is not the end,
So rest your head, I hope someday we will meet again.
Goodbye, Carmen
Hasta manana or never again
But you're my friend Carmen
Goodbye...Goodbye...Goodbye..........

Baby, don't you wanna cry?
'Cause I really need to
And I really miss you

Oh baby, I'm a lady, a baby, oh baby
Well you haven't got much to say, uh-uh
Just take me to the garden
I know there's a way

See that woman sitting over there in the corner
She sleeps with many candles around her bed
Once the night's getting old and you really wanna tell her
She'll find the light and run all the way back home

From mystic eyes she looks at you if she wants to
But never will they tell you what's ahead
And though she may be cold, she doesn't want to hurt anyone
She just wants to live a life of her own

And she doesn't want to be alone
But she only wants to be at home
So it's better if she lives unknown. Unknown
The voice inside her sings a different tone
Alone, 'cause no one understands her

Who's that woman sitting over there in the corner?
She may be here but she's very far away
Once the night's getting old and you think you're getting closer
You'll be the fool 'cause she's never gonna let you in

From mystic skies (mystic skies) the rains will fall when they want to
Sometimes it happens every single day (What will the moon say?)
Does she wanna spend the rest of her life just hiding out and hurting herself
When they come to the door now is she gonna let them in?

And she doesn't want to be alone
But she only wants to be at home
So it's better if she stays unknown. (It's better) Unknown.
The voice inside her says she couldn't be wrong
She's alone, 'cause no one reprimands her

Try to look her in the eye
Try to look her in the eye
Try and look her in the eye
Try and look her in the eye
No, no, no, no,... oh no

And she only wants to be at home
So it's better if she lives... unknown
Alone
