Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
Jitterbug
Jitterbug
Jitterbug.
You put the boom boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high
when your loving starts.
Jitterbug into my brain goes a' bang bang bang till my feet do the same.
If something's bugging you
if something ain't right
My best friend told me what you did last night.
Left me sheeting in my bed I was dreaming
But I should have been with you instead.
Wake me up before you go-go
don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo.
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't wanna miss it when you hit that high.
Wake me up before you go-go
cause I'm not planning on going solo.
Wake me up before you go-go
take me dancing tonight.
I wanna hit that high
yeah
yeah.
You put the grey skies outta my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day.
You turn a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same
'Cause you're my lady
I'm your fool
it makes me crazy
When you act so cruel.
Come on baby
lets not fight
we'll go dancing
everything will be alright.
Wake me up before
You go-go
don't leave me
Hanging on like a yo-yo. . .
Cuddle up baby
Move in tight
well go
Dancing tomorrow night
It's cold out there
But 'it's warm in bed
They can dance
We'll stay home instead
Wake me up before
You go-go
don't leave me
Hanging on like a yo-yo. . .
Wake me up before
You go-go
don't leave me
Hanging on like a yo-yo
Everything She Wants
Uh huh huh...
Oh yeah...
Work...work...
Somebody told me,
"Boy, everything she wants is everything she sees..."
I guess I must have loved you.
'Cause I said you were the perfect girl for me,
Maybe...
But now we're six months older...
And everything you want and everything you see,
Is out of reach...not good enough...
I don't know what the hell you want from me but boy...
Uh huh huh...
Oh...oh...
Uh huh huh...
Doo doo doo...
La la la la...
Somebody tell me,
Won't you tell me...
Why I work so hard for you?
All to give you money
All to give you money...
Some people work for a living,
Some people work for fun,
Girl, I just work for you.
They told me marriage was a give and take,
Well, show me you can take you've got some giving to do.
And now you tell me that you're having my baby,
I'll tell you that I'm happy if you want me to...
One step further and my back will break,
If my best isn't good enough
Than how can it be good enough for two?
I can't work any harder than I do...
Somebody tell me,
Won't you tell me...
Why I work so hard for you?
All to give you money,
All to give you money...
Oh...
Why do I do the things I do?
I'd tell you if I knew.
My God...
I don't even think that I love you....
Won't you tell me...
Tell me...tell me...tell me...
How could you settle for a boy like me,
When all I could see was the end of the week...
All the things we sign,
And the things we buy,
Ain't gonna keep us together...
It's just a matter of time.
My situation,
Never changes.
Walking in that manner through that door,
Like a stranger,
But the wages...
I give you all you say you want is love...
And all I can see is the end of the week,
All the things we sign,
And the things we buy,
Ain't gonna keep us together...
Girl, it's just a matter of time.
Hearbeat
Another summer
Another vacation is over...
A September morning,
With the sun and the smell of the clover...
Down by the gate
We sit and we watch all our friends go by...
And pretend we don't hear the bell,
That rings through the summer sky.
I was happy with the kiss that she gave me,
It's just that happy was all she made me...
Happy that was...
Until I saw you...
Chorus:
Heart beat, heart beat,
Why do you fail me now?
You hurt me...desert me,
In my darkest hour...
Heart beat, heart beat,
Why do you keep me here?
How could I help but admire her beauty?
Standing on the line between desire and duty...
Heart beat Heart beat...
It will end in tears...
I need a lover,
But love's such a dangerous place to be...
Oh, if we were meant for each other,
Then why won't you answer me?
Don't keep me waiting,
You know that I long to be by your side...
We could even be together,
Tonite...
I was happy with the kiss that she gave me...
But now there's nothing on Earth to save me...
Why should I care?
I can't have you....
(chorus)
Like A Baby
Foreign skies
Blinded me to empty charms.
I crossed the ocean,
Fell into your arms...
So sure...so wrong..
You sang me a simple tune,
I took if for a song.
Say goodbye...
Don't tell me why you have to go...
Loving you was as good as gone...
As good as gone.
I'd love to know you...
Really know you...
But you see, there's something you should know,
I never really thought you'd go...
Because today,
I would have sworn I heard you say...
"I love you..."
"I want you..."
"I need to be with you today..."
I saw something in your face...
Stay here beside me,
I need your love to guide me...
Your love...
But now it's gone away...
You left me crying like a baby...
Like a baby...
Freedom
Everyday I hear a different story...
People saying that you're no good for me...
"Saw your lover with another and she's making a fool of you..."
If you loved me baby you'd deny it;
But you laugh and tell me I should try it...
Tell me I'm a baby...and I don't understand...
But you know that I'll forgive you,
Just this once...twice...forever,
'Cause baby, you could drag me to hell and back,
Just as long as we're together.
And you do....
Chorus:
I don't want your freedom...
I don't want to play around...
I don't want nobody baby,
Part time love just brings me down.
I don't want your freedom,
Girl, all I want right now is you.
Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I can't escape until you love me
i just go from day to day knowing all about the other boys
You take my hand and tell me I'm a fool to give you all that I do
I bet you someday baby someone says the same to you
But you know that I'll forgive you
Just this once twice forever
Cos baby, you could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as we're together
And you do
(chorus 'till fade)
If You Were There
You're the one that makes my day a dream come true,
And still you wonder if I think of you.
You ought to see how the other girls behave when you're not around,
And only then you would know that it's hard to think I'm wild...
Chorus:
If you were there you'd know,
If you were there you'd know.
If you were there you'd know,
If you were there you'd know
That I care.
There's no need for you not to have faith in me,
'Cause it's by your side girl that I long to be.
Yes, there are times with my friends when I don't have much to say,
What you don't know is with you I could never act that way...
(chorus)
There's no need for you not to have faith in me,
'Cause it's by your side girl that I long to be...
Yes there are times with my friends when I don't have much to say...
What you don't know is with you I could never act that way...
(chorus)
I care for you baby...
Have faith in me.
Credit Card Baby
You said that you loved me,
And I thought that it was true.
You said that you needed me,
And baby I believed that too.
I thought that you were shy,
But you put me straight with a wink of your eye.
I should've known better,
Put my hands in my pockets everytime I see you cry.
People think you're just so sweet,
But they don't know you quite like I do.
I guess they think that I'm a lucky guy,
But you're not fooling everybody.
Chorus:
You can have my credit card baby,
But keep your red hot fingers off of my heart lady.
All I know is what I see,
You're getting what you want and girl it ain't just me.
No matter how you cry,
I'm not giving any love away...
Do you think I'm crazy?
All I know is what I see,
And what can I do
When you pretend that you're in love with me baby?
Don't say that you love me,
Because I know that it's not true.
Just tell me you need my money,
Girl you know I'll give it to you.
Between the ocean and the sky
There are things that you can't buy.
And if you look you'll see
One of them is me.
Take you hands out of my pockets
Digging till the day you die.
People think you're just so sweet,
But they don't know you quite like I do.
I guess they think that I'm a lucky guy,
But you're not fooling anybody.
(chorus)
These are the things that you've made for yourself,
You've gotta take your opportunities or stay on the shelf.
You've gotta stay...Oh yeah...
Well, that's OK...it's just a game that we play.
No matter how you cry,
I'm not giving any love away.
Do you think I'm crazy?
All I know is what I see,
And what can I do
When you pretend that you're in love with me baby?
Careless Whisper
Careless Whisper
I feel so unsure,
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor.
As the music dies...
Something in your eyes,
Calls to mind a silver screen,
And all its sad goodbyes.
Chorus:
I'm never gonna dance again,
Guilty feet have got no rhythm.
Though it's easy to pretend,
I know you're not a fool.
I should have known better than to cheat a friend,
And waste a chance that I'd been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again,
The way I danced with you.
Time can never mend,
The careless whisper of a good friend.
To the heart and mind,
Ignorance is kind...
There's no comfort in the truth,
Pain is the hole you'll find.
(chorus)
What am I without your love?
Tonite the music seems so loud,
I wish that we could lose this crowd.
Maybe it's better this way,
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say.
We could have been so good together,
We could have lived this dance forever...
But now, who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay.
(Alternatively):
And now it's never gonna be
That way...
(chorus)
Now that you're gone...
Now that you're gone...
Now that you're gone...
Was what I did so wrong?
So wrong that you had to leave me alone?
