I still remember how much I used to need you
Tried so hard to please you but you didn't need me
You knew I loved you knew I always would be there
You just did what you wanted you didn't care
All the cards were held by you
There was nothin' I could do
All those nights I sat alone starin' at the telephone
Wonderin' were you ever comin' home
Solitaire, it got so lonely
Solitaire, no one to hold me
Where were you when I played solitaire?
It took some time but I stopped thinkin' about you
Started livin' without you now look who's back here
You've had a change of heart, well, mine just couldn't wait, no no
You found out you loved me just a little too late
Once the cards were held by you
Now there's nothin' you can do
All those nights you sit alone starin' at the telephone
Wonderin' if I'm ever comin' home
Solitaire, see what it's like now
Solitaire, to cry all night now
Solitaire, see how it feels to play
Solitaire, it gets so lonely
Solitaire, you wanna hold me
Don't wait up, 'cos babe, I won't be there
Solitaire, solitaire, solitaire
Solitaire, see what it's like now
Solitaire, to cry all night now
Solitaire, see how it feels to play
Solitaire, it gets so lonely
Solitaire, you wanna hold me
Don't wait up, 'cos babe, I won't be there
Solitaire
Check it out, Joe
I'll tell you a secret
If you know where to keep it
And you promise not to tell
Got a tale or two
About a girl that you could have sworn you knew so well
It was years ago
Though it sounds like yesterday
You came on strong and she gave it all away
He had an angel's face
A fighter's grace
And an ace hidden up his sleeve
But never mind 'cos love is blind
And she needed to believe
His touch could fill
He held her safe from harm
If looks could kill
She'd have died there in his arms
Deep in the dark
The thunder in her heart
He told her every single lie
He swore he'd never told anyone before
Check it out, Joe
Now you wake up in the dead of night
And reach out to touch her hair
But the bed is empty, turn on the light
And she's not even there
Then a note she wrote
You read that thing and weep
'cos if you love someone
And never know what runs so deep
Deep in the dark
The thunder in her heart
She told you every single lie
She swore she'd never heard before
I've been waiting all of my life
For you, stranger, you are a light
The light that shines in me
The one who holds the key to my love forever
Close enough
We're close enough to fall in love
We're close enough
Just close enough to make it last
Now there's no turning back
We'll do it together
We're close enough
Open arms reach out to my soul
Hold me closer, in from the cold
And now the time has come
To keep the love we found here forever
Close enough
We're close enough to fall in love
We're close enough
Just close enough to make it last
Now there's no turning back
We'll do it together
And now, now the time has come
To keep the love we found just close enough
We're close enough to fall in love
We're close enough
Just close enough to make it last
Now there's no turning back
We'll do it together
Close enough
Maybe I'm a fool, one day we'll know
Maybe I'm a fool, only time can show
But now these lonely nights are killin' me
I'm so far away from reality
The pain grows stronger
I can't hold on much longer
It hurts when I think of how I had your sweet love
And still I set you free
Lucky, I said I hope you try and understand
Lucky, guess it's not like we planned
Lucky, you know I really really love you so
But Lucky, I still have to go
I wish that you could see the tears on my face
Painful memories of a love I can't replace
I'm sailin' in the past, and I'm sinkin' fast
You can hear my S.O.S. cryin' out for tenderness
Though yesterday's dead and gone
Your magic still lingers on
It hurts when I think of how I had your sweet love
And how I set you free
Lucky, I said I hope you try and understand
Lucky, I guess it's not like we planned, oh no no
Oh Lucky, you know I really really love you so
But Lucky, I still have to go
Oh Lucky, I said I hope you try and understand
Lucky, I guess it's not like we planned
Oh Lucky, you know I really really love you so
But Lucky, I still have to go
Lucky, I said I hope you try and understand
Mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
When daddy comes home
He never gets no rest
'cos she's playin' all night
And the music's alright
Mama's got a squeeze box
And daddy never sleeps at night
Well, the kids don't eat
And the dog can't sleep
There's no escape from the music
In the whole damn street
'cos she's playin' all night
And the music's alright
Mama's got a squeeze box
And daddy never sleeps at night
She goes in and out and in and out
And in and out and in and out
She's playin' all night
And the music's alright
Mama's got a squeeze box
And daddy never sleeps at night
She goes "Squeeze me
Come on and squeeze me
Come on and tease me like you do
I'm so in love with you
I could hardly believe it
When I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leaving
Someone swept your heart away
From the look upon your face I see it's true
So tell me all about it
Tell me about the plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
Didn't come here for cryin'
Didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is comin' to an end
How can I blame you
When I built my world around
The hope that one day
We'd be so much more than friends
And I don't wanna know
The price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'
I need you now
It's more than I can take
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
And I don't wanna know
The price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'
Now that your dream has come true
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been loving you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
All that I've been livin' for is gone
Without you
After I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for... is gone
Secret eyes follow you around the room
They try to hide their glances in the darkness
How could there be anyone as beautiful as you?
Who couldn't help but want you?
I'm not the only one who wants to get next to you
Bet I'm not the only one who's ever told you
How much they wanted to be your only one
They all wanted you, wanted to be holding you now
Holding you, touching you, feeling you
Will it be me at the end of the night?
Will I be, will I be the lucky one who wins you?
Leavin' the rest just to dream of your embrace
Who wouldn't want to be in my place?
I'm not the only one who wants to get next to you
Bet I'm not the only one who's ever told you
How much they wanted to be your only one
They all wanted you
You'll break every heart before the night is through
Every heart but the one that goes with you
There you are, moving across the floor
Knowing that all those arms are waiting and wanting
Longing to reach for you
You don't care, you could have anyone you choose
I'm not the only one who wants to get next to you
Bet I'm not the only one who's ever told you
How much they wanted to be your only one
They all wanted you, wanted to be holding you now
Holding you, touching you, feeling you
I wanna get next to you
Bet I'm not the only one who's ever told you
How much they wanted to be your only one
They all wanted you ...
Mama
Remember how you warned me
That he would only hurt me?
Remember how I didn't listen then, wasn't listening?
Mama
You said I shouldn't see him
Said I didn't need him
Said "A boy like that is gonna take your heart
Just to break your heart"
Told me from the start
He would break my heart
And I guess I was a bad girl
But you just never understood
How the lovin' of that bad boy
Made your bad girl feel so good
I'd sneak out my window
We'd meet in the night deep in the darkness
He knew how to love me so right
Mama, ooh, he was a wild one
And, ooh, I was a child once
But I will never be a child again
After lovin' him
Oh, not after lovin' him
Mama
I never knew a boy's touch
Could ever teach me so much
All those nights you didn't understand
I was in good hands
Mama
If I would have listened
The kissin' I'd be missin'!
I tell you
You were wrong as you could be
He's still here with me
Sneakin' out my window
We meet in the night deep in the darkness
He knows how to love me so right
Mama
Ooh, that boy's touch
Need it so much
Mama
Ooh, that wild one
Need to feel him
Mama
Ooh, that bad boy
He gives me such joy
Mama
I'm such a bad girl
He gives me such joy
Mama
If you see me trembling 'cos you're near
Please come closer it's not you I fear
Find me, touch me, never let me go
Darlin', I'm so cold, hold me
If you hear me cryin' in my sleep
Kiss me gently hold me while I weep
Find me, touch me, never let me go
Find me, reach me, feel what I can't show
Darlin', I'm so cold, hold me
Because you're near me now
I'm so much braver now
No longer lost somehow with you with me
If you feel me pushin' you away
That's me simply beggin' you to stay
Find me, touch me, never let me go
Find me, reach me, feel what I can't show
Find me, love me, God I love you so
Darlin', I'm so cold, hold me
Looking to find somebody new
That's what I've got in mind to do
Taking a chance
No one is there
People afraid to share
Don't show your love
Say no to love
Don't show your love to me
Take back your love
Say no to love
Don't show your love to me
Loneliness lives out in the world
People afraid to give
Better off free
Out on your own
Living your life alone
Don't show your love
Say no to love
Don't show your love to me
Oh, take back your love
Say no to love
Don't show your love to me
