(Bill Cuomo/Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson). . The neon sign lights up the room. She lifts the shade to feel the night. The universal song is playing again.
She works real hard in an all night cafe. She says, she loves her job, wouldn't have it any other way. Then he walks in wearin' cheap cologne. She said I'll take off early if you'll take me home.
Memories are the only things that time can't take away. You read a book, you write a song, the time's been spent. But in your mind the story still remains.
He drives her all day long to fancy bars and restaurants. She acts like nothing's wrong, she satisfies his needs and wants. . He will drive her, she will drive him crazy.
When you want me. When you hold me. You make me weak and I can't fight it. I should face it I have skated. . Way too far out on thin ice. You break me.
Tear's edge. Walking around with a hole straight through my heart. Walking on a window without a ledge. I'm on tear's, tear's edge. . Out of my head waiting for you to call.
(N Chinn/M Chapman). . Straight out a' Texas. Down around San Antoine. Comin' straight out of heaven. Sweeter than you've ever known. Don't let me hear that sweet kid's name.
(Daniel Moore). . Be my soul mate. Help me when I stumble. When I fall I need a helping hand. I'm not ashamed to tell the world I love you. Cause you're the beacon of the storm in which I am.
(Kim Carnes). . You're lookin' right you're walkin' tight. You think everybody wants you. Cause you can do it all night. Don't think you heard me the first time.
Irresistible, you I bet you knew. About everything in this world. A winning show lettin' everyone know. They were lucky just to be your, girl. I should have know better than.
If I told you tonight that I loved you would you walk my way?. Would you say lies that I wanted to hear?. If I told you tonight that I need you would you break my heart?.
Stay away leave me alone. Say away from my door. 'Cuz you'll hurt me again. Like you hurt me before. . Don't want no excuses. I don't want no more lies.
You come home late and you come home early. You come on big when you're feeling small. And you come home curly. Sometimes you don't come home at all. .
Time you found time enough to love. I found love enough to hold you tonight. I'll stir the fire you feel inside. Until the flames of love enfold you. .
I'm skeptical of banana trees. 'Cause they sway too much in the tropic breeze. I'm skeptical that the world is round. . What keeps it up and what keeps me down.
(Kim Carnes). . When I pass you on the street. And I wanna yell come back. Don't tell 'em that you know me. And when I'm standin' next to ya'. In a crowded room.
Sailin', ridin' on the crest of a dream. All we need is a breeze, some help from the wind. Sailin' out of my dreams and into the night. We may never come back again when we go sailin'.
(Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson). . We learn to hold it in. Hide our hearts. Don't let it show. So scared. We forget to sayh. All the words when. We need them most.
I need a long tall man to kiss and hold me tight (x2). With your book honey, I think you'll do just fine. It don't take no dimes or pearls to make me burn (x2).
Ah, everybody trying to use a piece of the heart. But we strain the thread and it tears apart. So many people trying and they just can't stop. Living for tomorrow, trying to beat the clock.
